Chapter 6: The Twin Terrors

Laying on top of a sky scraper, watching the color of the sky slowly darken as the sun began to set. People slowly walking out of the sky scrapers around the city, starting the trek back to their homes. Hearing a beep come from his wrist watch, Robe Man slowly got to his feet and checked the time. The watched was cracked and was the arms were stuck on the time 2:35. "Well guess it is time," He said slowly pulling out a grapple gun out from under his blue robe, "Where oh where did you go Plaid Whip?" He said aiming the grapple at another building. Gently pulling the trigger, he watched the hook fly off towards the other building.

Yawning as he felt the grapple gun's line catch onto the building, he heard a noise behind him, turning his head around to see what made the noise, a man in a long trench coat running headlong at him. Recognizing this man instantly Robe Man scowled and retracted the line on his grapple gun pulling himself away from The Disheveled Creeper and whatever he wanted.

Glaring at the Robed Hero retreat from the rooftop of the building, he continued to run after him, pulling his Grapple Gun out and shooting it out in the general direction where Robe Man went off to.

Landing gently on the side of sky scraper, Robe Man looked up at the top of the building and saw another line connect with the roof top of this skyscraper. Looking behind him he saw the Disheveled Creeper leaping off the previous building and swinging down below him. After a few moments the cable from the Creeper's gun started making a straining noise as it quickly pulled him up. Pushing a button on the side of his grapple gun, Robe Man suddenly let out a lot of cable and fell downwards toward his pursuer.

Seeing his quarry start to fall down towards him, The Creeper stopped his ascension and pushed himself off of the side of the skyscraper. Slowly swinging back from the building the Creeper attached the grapple gun to his side. Robe Man watching the Creeper shove himself off the side of the building wondered what he was planning. Stopping his dissension and attaching his grapple gun to his side as well, taking his eyes off the Creeper while doing so, he suddenly felt something warm and wet go up and down his ear. He screamed and turned around, but no one was there, he then felt something wrap around his neck and his entire body was forced through a window of the sky scraper, landing his head hard against a cabinet Robe Man lost consciousness.

Yawning to himself as he swung silently through the hole Robe Man made for him, The Disheveled Creeper smiled at the unconscious form of his first lead into this whole affair. "Well, well Mr. Robe Man. We are going to have fun." With that the Disheveled Creeper held his hand out and some how almost puppet like Robe Man got to his feet, blood oozing down the side of his face. "Come on. I have to show you my new hangout. I'm sure you are going to LOVE it."
