Julia smiles as Officer Howard tazes another officer in the neck from behind, successfully managing to take out another of his peers at the Denver police force. "Good job Officer Howard! Return!" She calls, extending her hand as he folds up on himself into a silvery sphere which zips back to her hand, which she sets to her side.
Glancing around past the unconscious police officer, she continues on her way, seeking more... challengers to fuel the experience of her minions.
A master power but how does it work? was the first thing going through his mind, as Freakshow just observed the situation from afar. Subtly sneaking closer, covering his face with his typical hoodie as he finally decided to follow the intriguing cape.
She doesn't notice him as she follows, walking along and glancing around, getting somewhat impatient until she spots another police officer, who's glancing over at her and talking into a radio, having seen her power in action. Grabbing the ball from her side, which has several other balls there- she lazily tosses it out, wherupon it unfolds once more into Officer Howard. Pointing her finger at the other officer, she says aloud, "Officer Howard, attack!"
Whereupon Officer Howard draws his service weapon and aims it at the other officer, and begins to run up. The other officer aims his own service weapon, but Howard dukes out of the way and fires off a shot, clipping the other officer's hand and forcing him to drop the weapon. Howard runs up to the officer as he recoils, clutching his hand, and smashes him over the head with his service revolver, knocking him unconscious.
Deciding to not attract too much attention Freakshow stays at a certain distance(8 m), as he summons enough flies into the palm of his hand, to create a rat-sized ball of flesh. Subtly dropping it to the ground as it quickly grows six legs and proceeds to scuttle towards the mind controlled officer. Not wasting any times Freakshow would already create another, but keeps this one close to himself.
Note: Its literally just a blackish/grayish ball of flesh covered in hair and tiny fly legs, with six more developed insect legs protruding from its side. It would attempt to sneak up and then attach to the persons leg.
Officer Howard, distracted by the other officer doesn't notice the grey thing, but Julia spots it as it gets up close to him. She says aloud, "Officer howard, be careful! Kill the rat."
Officer Howard turns around and spots the little grey ball of flesh, and carefully points his service weapon at it, backing away as it approaches him.
Once noticed, it suddenly grows pincers and starts sprinting surprisingly fast, obviously attempting to latch on and bite, the second One already on its way to approach from the other direction. Freakshow in the mean time now busy creating a third one, accompanied by an odd increase of houseflies in the area, as they get drawn to this location.
Officer Howard fires off two shots at the first small mass with pincers, as Julia sees more, and pouts. "Triples battle, huh. Ok then, I can play ball." She smirks, pulling two more balls from her belt and lobbing them out, generating a German Police Dog wearing kevlar armor, and a Coyote. She points at the two of them, "Each attack your own rat!". Both the dog and the coyote would then run and begin to try and maul a grey sphere of their own accord.
Noticing the additional canids, Freakshow too starts to smirk, as he feeds the third creature with a special cocktail, before letting it lose. All three roaming around, the new creature in particular attempting to go after either the Dog or Coyote, while the other two still chase after the cop.
They won't really try to avoid the animals in any way and are easily crushed once bitten.
Two pistol shots slam into one of the creatures as the German Shepard begins to bite into and try to maul the other. The Coyote faces off against the new one, running up and attempting to bite into it.
Julia watches impassively, observing the fight.
After being bitten the creature starts to dissolve into the dogs mouth, or rather to reorganize itself. Hundreds of newly emerging larvae, now all attempting to escape into the animals throat, to go deeper and bury into flesh.
Meanwhile the Coyote is doing much worse, not really faced with any resistance as it bites into the walking flesh-ball. But promptly confronted with excessive growth of new tissue, tumors starting to form in his mouth, spreading all over its body. Soon overcome with seizures, while it lose control over itself.
In the same time, the other flesh minion collapses after being shot, but proceeds to reform and again try to chase after the man a few seconds later.
She purses her lips and raises her hand, causing the coyote to fold itself into a silvery sphere, leaving the bits of the minion behind and returning to her hand. Pursing her lips, she sets it on her belt and reaches for another ball, lobbing it out to reveal an armadillo. She points at whatever the Coyote left behind and says, "Armadillo, use Rollout!". The Armadillo then runs and tries to roll into a ball mid-run to roll into the remains, which goes about as poorly as you could imagine, ending with the Armadillo curled into a ball several feet from whatever remains.
The dog would continue to choke down the larvae, and the police officer would continue to back away to a safe distance, firing several more shots into it.
Surprised by the sudden disappearance or transformation of the Coyote, Freakshow is still glad that there is at least something left, even if the whole animal would've been better. Followed by some slight concern with the appearance of another animal.
Meanwhile, unable to actually infect and mutate the Dog, the larvae will still continue to bury into flesh and to feed. Using those nutrients to fuel their own growth, while slowly attempting to kill the animal.
The flesh blob in the meantime doesn't seem to make much progress, hampered by the fact that it got shot several times. At the sight of this, Freakshow just sighs in disappointment, silently lamenting his current limits, proceeding to create 5 more but with fewer resources. Winged and with the size of a beetle, should still be useful... and much more stealthy... as they swarm out along walls, crevices and into the air, still aiming to reach the man.
The man doesn't notice the flies as he continues to shoot the blob, keeping his attention on it as the winged ones approach.
The dog begins to jerk and shake, unsuccessfully trying to dislodge the parasites in its flesh as it backs away, whining.
Julia purses her lips at the Armadillo, and says. "Ok uhm, Just Claw Attack I guess." The Armadillo unfolds, and toddles its way up to the third minion and attempts to scratch it with its claws.
The flies would just drop down and target the guys neck immediately trying to latch on any available skin.
Surrounded with freely available flesh, the parasite continuous to grow, reaching deeper into head and throat of the creature, feeding on fluids and tissue. Soon progressing to a stage where it will cause lethal damage.
"So... did we just end up in a weird game of Pokemon..?" Freakshow finally speaks up approaching the Armadillo, possibly to kick it away from the flesh-ball.
Glancing at Freakshow she purses her lips, and glances at her minions. She raises her hand, and all 3 of them collapse into silvery spheres, leaving behind the pieces of minions burrowing through flesh as the spheres Snap back to her hand one by one as she puts each on her belt. "You've won this bout, but we'll see how we match up in the future!" She says with a somehow triumphant cry.
She then fully turns around and begins sprinting away, darting down an alley as she makes a run for it.
