Cyberdragon has posed:
It's been about 8 or 9 days since Nightwing's encounter with the Cyberdragon, Coming into Gotham to persue weapons, military grade weapons. Plasma based experimental weapons, someone outside the City, has decided to ship weapons stolen from a military ship somewhere in the world. And the most frightening thing was that the gang who was receiving the weapons had a secret under water tunnel from just outside gotham Harbor to get in.

The Warehouse above a fully legitimate warehouse, with a lost and forgotten Coldwar Bombshelter that had been used for the pick up.

Nightwing has posed:
    He had followed the clues, aimed to tail after the people who were moving the illicit weapons. It took him some hard work, wrangling some contacts and getting the intel out of them, then tailed one of the men who were supposedly in the gang. It ended up working well, leading him to the warehouse. It seemed like it'd be a clean cut case. An infiltration was needed and he would make it as quietly as he could.
    At first he dropped on the roof, silently, edging his way towards one of the skylights. A few moments to disable the security, any locks, and then he flips through, landing lightly on the metal catwalks that form the superstructure of the building. He begins to move from shadow to shadow, seeking the entrance to this shelter area.

Cyberdragon has posed:
As Nightwing moves to the area he can see the people moving through the area as the Gang follows the location through the alleyway, they head to an area with an Alleyway that is a good place for an ambush or beat down. Looking around up and all around to avoid someone from being seen as someone suddenly someone pulls something from their coat and then a section of the Alley wall pushes inside as he comments, "Surprised the Bat hasn't found this."

"What he doesn't knwo can't hurt us." Another said "Make sure it's closed and properly bolted." and all four people enter inside as the sound of a Soft clunk is heard.

AS Nightwing is moving around something from the Shadows moves as well, a black figure with what appears to be a cape, and as the figure moves below nightwing Landing in the alley as he moves with out a sound even when walking through a puddle. stepping into the light the Red and black dragon moves through the alleyway wings folded tightly against his back, Tail with a wicked blade moves on the end of that tail. As he reaches the back wall his hand is roaming over the surface...tracing the outline of the brick work on the door.

Nightwing has posed:
    Dropping silently from his perch, Nightwing lands without a sound and then raises himself to his full height. He gives a nod towards the wall and murmurs, "Looks like two points need pressure in sequence." He tells the creature, tilting his head curiously as he seems inclined to let the other fish out the secrets of the door.
    Stepping forwards he looks over the place, making sure no others are coming while they search, he looks back towards the creature and asks. "I know why I'm here, why are you here?"

Cyberdragon has posed:
As He looks to the wall and says, "Oh that's cunning." And the Biomechanical Dragon lifts a single finger and instantly his clawtip extends nearly two foot. "I had seen this story of a hotel that had a hidden drinking area during proibihion that was on a massively heavy door that could only be unlocked with a special narrow rod pin" and then he places his tip in a single small hole. And then Slowly feeds it in as he lifts a finger in a shhhh motion. And after a moment he says, "Clear" and then Pushing on the door slowly to push it open as he says.

"Found a small submarine attached to a frighter when I was in Gotham bay exploring. Detached and went into an under water tunnel." he said, "People looking to buy plasma weapons." Slowly sticking his head in first looking around. "Your city, your lead." he says.

Nightwing has posed:
    "Nice of you to be so obliging." He says as he steps past the Dragon, though making sure to keep an eye on him as he steps forwards smoothly, slipping into a near silent approach as he follows the tunnely. "Name's Nightwing," He offers as they move along that tunnel, heading towards the main area, seeking to find the storage and gear that these smugglers had been bringing in. It'll be good to get this shut down at least, and then follow up on the smugglers themselves.

Cyberdragon has posed:
As the Dragon moves behind him he smiles in a soft voice, "I doubt you want a rookie cramping your style. I can draw their fire, the Plasma shots won't effect me as strongly as you." he says and then says, "Thirty feet in the celing is an electronic device. Looks like a camera with an Infrared light and camera Nightwing." The Tunnel is barely one person wide, as he says "Cyberdragon." Given his biomechanical appearance it is very fitting. As he says. "I'd like one of the weapons to take to Stark Tower for analysis." Allowing Nightwing to decide how to handle it.

Nightwing has posed:
    "Stay down if you need to, I can..." He reaches the end of the hall and takes a moment to gauge the surroundings. A touch to his domino mask and it allows him to highlight the darker areas, getting a better grasp of the situation. He frowns to himself and then he murmurs, "Going to try and take this quietly, get the sentries then move in." Nightwing turns and looks to Cyberdragon, "Stay low, if all heck breaks loose then you can back me up. But until then let me try it quietly."
    That said he slips out of the hallway, moving silently from shadow to shadow as he begins to make a steady circular pattern to finding those sentries and taking them out.

Cyberdragon has posed:
The Dragon nods to him and he will actually be able to see the area better than most his ability to see the bio electrical field around the area and the electrical field in general. As he moves carefully.

Nightwing can see that they are moving in pairs. Each one has a whistle, and generally they will stay in sight of each other.

The area here is a large bunker that has been hallowed out with several support beams helping prop up the roof. As the rectangular ship area can be seen as what looks like a boat coming up as several gang members comes to greet the owners. The Symbol of HYDRA on the Submarine as several people come up ready to do business with these terrorists.

Almost like a warehouse with Catwalks and support beams to help reinforce the ceiling, as Nightwing can see the dragon is actually walking? Yes Walking on the ceiling. Out of their sight moving through the shadows.

Nightwing has posed:
    It's only when each patrol steps into a place that's not visible to the others that he'll strike. He takes his time, waiting, gauging their approach. It might be frustrating to Dragon to have to wait for a time, but Nightwing... he is no stranger to prepping a battlefield. Each goon he takes down is one less they have to deal with later. When one patrol of two steps behind a series of barrels he steps in quickly, slipping an arm around the throat of one of the guards and then swinging his legs up to lock them around the neck of the other. A short sharp twist and he's able to pull them both down and tighte the chokeholds, knocking the two men out after a few moments of intense pressure. Once they're down he'll secure them with bindings, then continues on the hunt. Each time striking from silence, and ending the conflict quickly.

Cyberdragon has posed:
The Dragon watching from the ceiling is indeed impatient to act but their weapons balistic might be loaded with armor penetrating rounds. As he moves closer over the Sub he stops when he suspect anyone might be near to spot him.

As Nightwing sees he seems to freeze just when someone Looks up and when the shine a light up where the dragon is. The Red and black Dragon is gone?

No he's there pressed flat to the ceiling his colors have been altered to match the surface he is on as a few give a second or third look in the area as the Patrols are slowly taken down.

The Groups make a full circuit. Walking from the ground up the walkways, around then back down completeing a circle, and when one group doesn't show up in a few seconds instantly people get alert as the crates are out of the sub, and soon they start breaking out the heavy weapons. Plasma Rifles....

Nightwing has posed:
    And it's when all heck breaks loose that Nightwing digs into his back of tricks to start further preparing the battlefield. A handful of smooth black spheres are palmed into his hand and overhand tossed across the way from behind the cover. Near several of the men digging out weapons there's a /CRACK-HISS!/ as a flash bang goes off even as large streams of smoke begin to emit from one of those spheres.
    He sends a few more handfuls flying to each nearby area, creating a heavy smoke-filled combat area, flash-bangs crackling off to serve to disorient the men as they gather. It's only once line of sight is obscured that Nightwing begins to attack from cover. A disk-shaped projectile is hurled, crashing at the feet of some of the men, cracking open and suddenly covering the area in ice as well as their feet.

Cyberdragon has posed:
At this point the Dragon drops down as he lands on the top of the Submarine and instantly there is an explosion on the submarine as he shatters the windscreen of the sub as his tail lifts up and comes down to shattering the hinge of the door, A blood curdling roar is issued as it draws attention to him as he lun ges at the once near the weapons Crate.

The Hydra Agent has her own weapon as she fires at the dragon who takes the hit knocking him a bit off course, and foprces a tumble as he uses those wings, tail to flip and turn. A shot of plasma fires from his mouth impacting the ground at the feet of the Hydra agent, resulting in a small explosion as she is knocked back.

The Gang members pull hand guns weapons, knives as a few scream, "It's the Bat!" And the dragon uses his fists to pun ch in the solar plexus where he leaves two on the ground gasping and struggling for breath having knocked the wind out of the,

Nightwing has posed:
    Now in the smoke and the chaos, Nightwing comes into his home. He is a blur, moving quickly, with such a pace moving from target to target, lashing out at an unaware gunman and taking him down as quickly as possible, only to move on to the next. One is grabbed from behind and held down by his knee in the man's neck, even as a wing ding is sent hurtling into the side of another man's head, ricocheting off and knocking into another. There are no calls for surrender or for them to drop their weapons, but hopefully with such tactical conflict between the two of them they can take the targets down.

Cyberdragon has posed:
Some of the people here are not thuibs but well trained terrorists as they throw a couple of their own flash bangs in Nightwing's direction one into the cloud, one a few second later as they rush his location with heavier insulated body armor with tazers and blades trying to lung at him. One forces him to act while the other attempts to follwo up and strict with a taster where nightwing is.

The Dragon on the other hand is throwing his own fire around. From his hands and mouth he unleashes his own streams of energy. never once does he attack them directly but throws it at the ground, tearing upo the ground some, as small balls of plasma explode with the force of a concussion grenade. His plsama stream hits one of the plasma rifles as it blows apart the rifle knocking the guy back to the ground. dazed and a little bloodied but nothing lethal.

Ducking and dodgeing as several more shots of plasma are launched not from the dragon but from the Hydra woman as she attacks the dragon head on with a flying kick to the back of the head.

Nightwing has posed:
    Polarizing lenses compensate for the flashes of light and the chaos around him, flash bangs going up and forcing the domino mask to go dark for a bare second, yet recovering in the next moment. It's enough to give Nightwing an edge even as other enemy operatives rush where he is, trying to bring the stealthy individual to grips.
    Yet he denies them this, giving them but a fleeting shadow of a presence and then when they attempt to follow through a burst of ice locks them in place for the vigilante to drop onto them, eskrima sticks rattling out a steady rhythmic series of impacts as he begins to move amongst them.

Cyberdragon has posed:
The Dragon recovers from the kickn to the head as he rolls. His tail lashes up around coils around her ankle. "Nightwing JUMP!" He says as he will spin pulling her with him and then in one swift fliud motion he has grabbed hold of her wrist and then in one hard fling flings the Lady Hydra Agent at the goons fighting Nightwing as they turn around and are force to catch their boss on her side knocking them Back as some of the gang members move to escape while the others terrified of the dragon more or less just drop their weapons to surrender...

Nightwing has posed:
    Bidden to do so, Nightwing does, leaping to cover and from a place of somewhat safety he watches as Cyberdragon takes care of the rest of the goons remaining. It's only once the dust is settling and he's moved through the crowd of the fallen, attaching bindings to their wrists and making sure that they're settled that he looks to the Dragon.
    "Alright, I'm going to head up and make sure the cops find the passageway. Signalling them now but I think they'll have a devil of a time getting the door to trigger. Best to wedge it open before they arrive."
    He flashes a grin then and nods, "Good working with you Dragon, you do good." That said he starts towards the hallway.

Cyberdragon has posed:
As the Dragon produces some Metal Zip Ties he begins to secure they people hogtie style making sure they can't get through the cuts as he takes care on the hydra's removing boots and cgloves as he nods. "Thank you, I'm still realitively inexperianced. But I'm improving." he says and secures the group. Where did he have those ties exactly, he's got no utility belt but the metal Zip ties are strongenough to hold most normal humans and resist anything short of heavy bolt cutters. His tail also snags one of the rifles.

"I was throughly impressed with you as well, if I become half as good as you I will be doing well." he says with a smile. As the Dragon went at that point to make sure the sub was powered down. And then to leave.
