Vol 2 Ch 5

Loki was done with the test and he had stretched himself. Hours of sitting in a single position can be harmful for anyone. With the test done, Loki was also starting to feel a little peckish. He had gone and gotten himself something to eat at a nearby restaurant. He was enjoying himself with a calming meal when his meal was interrupted by a news broadcast.

"American forces have been accused of launching a operation within Rio de Janeiro. General Ross had been identified as the instigator. The Brazilian government is calling this a violation of their sovereignty. Their have been no comments forthcoming from the either the Government or the Pentagon. Reparation are being made to Brazil for the damage to the infrastructure caused."

The news report droned on and on. To Loki, it may have been static as far as he cared. The steak melted in his mouth. It felt like a liquid, slipping down his throat. Loki let out a moan, a happy expression on his face. Everyone may have been staring at him but that was alright. What did they know.

"Superman and Metallo are now fighting in downtown abbey." A women was reporting from a chopper. "Their fight is tearing up the street.

Everyone at that place had started to evacuate from the fire exit seeing the scene. They were used to such a thing. Loki was unaware of his environment too engrossed in consuming his steak.

"Metallo just sent a car into the side of a restaurant."

Loki who was calmly eating finally paid attention when the wall broke down. A car was hurtling towards him, compressed into a ball. Loki would have taken action but he saw a flash of blue and red. Loki decided to hold his position, having no interest the blue scout to his abilities. A red cape hit him in the face and Superman was holding the car in has arms. Having stopped it. He threw it back at Metallo.

He turned around and observed Loki, he recognized the face, 'The naked Viking.' At one point, superman had to write a public opinion piece on the aforementioned exhibition. It was hard to write when most of the women had mentioned the dong and something about ancient men even boys. Lois Lane had laughed so hard at him when he turned the piece in. "Citizen get out of here and take cover. It is dangerous here." Superman told Loki as he once more flew outside. Loki had a feeling that something very rude had been thought about him. Specifically the no-no words.

Superman had proceeded to punch Metallo into another street. The impact causing an explosion. 'That level of strength is not something that even Thor could compete with.' Loki thought to himself. He was gonna atleast finish the steak. His eyes went down to the steak. A piece of the debris had fallen on it.

For a moment, Loki had felt lifeless, it felt like something important had been taken from him. He was truly enjoying that steak, it was perfect in all ways. Perfect temperature, perfectly seasoned. Loki felt infuriated. Him or identity he had especially created to deal with such situation. Loki could hear and feel the shockwave emitted by the attacks. For now, he moved towards the fire escape. He pressed the seal and he was equipped with the orange mask with two holes for his eyes and his green robes, covering the black leather strap armor underneath. The armor had various seals which could be used to summon the various shinobi tools that he had access to.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Metallo and superman were duking it out punch by punch. Superman had fired lasers at Metallo and Metallo turned his arm into a reflective steel mirror and deflected the heat vision. Seeing his own attack being used to cause collateral damage and its ineffectiveness.

Superman proceeded to once more attempt to punch him. Metallo had created a shield and a sword. Using the shield to take superman's attack which threw him back for a little bit. Metallo turned both of his arms into swords and proceeded to attempt to hit superman.

Superman took a few hits but those hits were largely ineffective as they could not eben break his skin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loki was overlooking the fight and making some observations. Superman was largely holding back for some reason. Loki had heard the morality code held by the boy scout. He could understand the reason for it as well. Absolute power absolutely corrupts. And it was very dangerous for a single person to play Judge, Jury and Execution. That was a slippery slope which would lead any one down a dark path.

Superman also did not feel like a human to Loki atleast from the chakra he was reading from him. It was too boundless and unrestrained, absorbing power from the sun. That was an interesting fact that Loki had to consider. It look like things were coming to a head, maybe it was finally time for Tobi to interfere.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Metallo, this is pointless. Give up now.", Superman said as he took a few more hits and was not effected.

"Superman, I am not the same as before. I got a few nifty upgrade especially for you." Metallo's chest opened up revealing Kryptonite.

Metallo had begun to step forward, landing one punch after another. Superman was also landing punches but he was getting weaker and weaker. The first punch he landed on Metallo effected him and pushed him back. This gave him some breathing room. He then rushed Metallo and punched him once more on the face causing him to stumble, another punch from the left side to the face. Causing Metallo to sway to the right.

At this point Metallo recovered and landed an punch to Superman's stomach causing him to haunch over. Superman held his stomach from the pain, he gathered his strength and tried to launch a punch but the kryptonite weakened him causing him to falter. This enabled Metallo to launch a punch at superman throwing him back into an empty car. Superman picked the car to throw at Metallo but by that time, Metallo was in his face again. Superman was weakened once more and the car fell out of his hands. Metallo punched him in the stomach causing him to haunch over once more. This time Superman was unable to move as the kryptonite in Metallo's chest had weakened him too much. Metallo had grabbed him by the throat and picked him up. Proceeding to him while squeezing his neck as well. Throwing him down, Metallo had proceeded to put his feet on his head, at this point Loki had interfered.

"Whatcha doin?" A playful voice said, from the corner of his vision a head was leaning next to his head. Metallo had turned his arms into blades and swiped but he hit nothing. Looking down, he saw a figure with orange mask and green cloak squatting on top of a chair. Checking his head as if to make sure that it was attached.

"Oh that was too dangerous, I almost died." The figure wiped some invisible brow sweat from the top of his mask. His voice too high pitched to be anything but a child

The words and action of the child had managed to snap him out of his stupor. He wanted to move his arm and finish the boy when he realized that he could not. Growing confused.

"Oh, shiny shiny. Look this matches my cloak. Its made for me." The child was holding the kryptonite in his hands dangling it infront of him. Metallo attempted to speak but his body ran out of power and shut down.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loki felt good to let loose sometimes, first he had gotten a chair and used Hiding Like a Mole jutsu to get behind Metallo. He had set a chair and had looked over his shoulder and said his first words. When Metallo had swiped at him, he had ducked down and swiped the kryptonite from the chest.

Now it was Superman's turn. Loki was now matching the kryptonite with his cloak and attempting to put it into his chest.

Loki, no he was Tobi now. Tobi looked at superman with confusion. "Why does it not fit in my chest. Does it need a hole."

Superman had recovered by now from the kryptonite. Motioning by his hand in the universal manner used to calm people down. "Put the green rock down son."

The person with the orange mask had looked at him with excited eyes. "My name is Tobi." He had said while having a hand out for a handshake and stepping toward superman. Suddenly, he slipped and the kryptonite went soaring and got stuck in Superman's cape. He tried to get it out, yet his hand could not reach it.

"Sorry, Sorry" Tobi had said as he had stepped towards superman and slipped. His head hit superman and superman weakened once more went down.

"Sorry, I will get it out." Tobi had begun to manhandle him, turning him around and trying to reach the Kryptonite and had made the situation worse. Pushing it into his clothes at the back. With each movement, Tobi made the situation worse.

Superman began to hear a siren approaching.

"Sorry gotta go. That's a no no sound." Tobi said. Superman watched as Tobi jumped into the ground. Once or twice while moving away, he jumped out and waved his hand at Superman.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"That was for my steak." Loki said as he sealed away his Tobi Armor once more
