Baki, otherwise known as Night Shade clucthed his katana sword in his hand. The black handle was the darker yet less lethal edge of the weapon just as Baki was the darker yet less dangerous of the titans. He wanted to be stronger. No way was anyone going to put him down for being the newest member of the team. Baki sent the trainig room to send training bot after training bot in waves of ten. Baki figured it was time to test his abilties with the blade out.
Baki dashed toward the waves of robots with his sword behind him. The robots were built grey and had one red motion sening eye that shot lazers from it. Baki using his superior Vampire speed dodged a the barrage of lazers shot by the droids and raising his sword high in the air he slice one of them in hald vertically.
Leaping up high sing his vampire strength in his leg muscles he focused the dark energy into his sword and sliced the air aiming at the robots. The sword glowed purple and sent a black wave of energy at the droids taking them all out.
Night Shade landed above the pile of broken bits and pieces and smiled. He heard whoever came in the moment the sliding door hissed when ever it opened. He turned to see who watched him preform his display of acrobatic and fighting skill.

Jake had walked into the training room, noticing that it was occupied, he went ahead and tried his hand yet again at reaching out to the members. It was one of the newer members, like himself, the one he recognized as Night Shade. Night Shade definitely had a lot of skill, taking out all of those bots easily. He was one of the people that made Jake think he could be over his head by becoming a Titan, but he had a power tht he was ready and willing to use.
Night Shade looked up at him as he could apparently hear when he walked in, that or one of his abilities allow him to sense his precense. Either way their eyes met. He spoke down to Night shade, "That was quite an impressive display. There is no doubt your skill level is very high." This was his way of complimenting Night shade. He didn't exactly know how to speak in a more familiar tone with someone like him, it's obvious he was different from the others.
Since the field was clear he went down to meet him face to face. "I know who you are Night Shade, but I don't think you know me. I'm Vader, it's nice to meet you." He held out his hand in an attempt at friendhip.

Night Shade smild at his new found friend and reaching out he grabbed his hand and gave it a gentle hand shake. "Nice to meet you too, You may can just call me Shade if you want." Night Shade said warmingly. There was no need to be rude or anything he was a new guy just like Baki himself. It was easy to see how the two can become friends.
"I am a half vampire so almost all my powers come from that, well that and 24/7 training." He said. "So whats your powers Vadar? I'm going to guess super strength since that's what most people have these days. Hm..." He began to think. "Maybe you might be an alien. You know cause Vadar is like invader so you ahh... i'll let you speak now i blab on and on alot..." Baki said rubbing the back of his head with his hand. With a goofy grin on his face.

Jake smiled, "Okay, Shade." he was happy to see that he was able to get along well with someone. Maybe it was easier since they were both new additions to the team. Either way he was happy he could make friends. Even if it was someone as intimidating as him.
A look of interest swept across his face as Night Shade mentioned he was a half vampire. "Vampire huh? Interesting, I never read much on them because I figured they were just myths. But now that I know they exist, or rather I've met one, I'll have to study them further." Despite how much Vader knew, there was still much he had yet to know. It was very strange, almost as if he knew things people wouldn't, but was ignorant to common knowledge. A confused look came upon his face as Shade had mad a guess about his origin. An alien? He got the connection, but he didn't understand how he would come to that conclusion. "Actually I am what most would classify as a mutant. The codename Vader is my created noun for the term 'Vade' which basically means to seemlessly displace from one location to the next." It seemed he was dragging on about something unimportant, so he decided to just move one. "In basic terms, I have the ability to polymorph. I can change any part of my body into smoke, also to solidify it and grow upon it to increase my striking power, defense, or to create weapons. A bit off from your guess." He smiled at his conclusion, but also a bit worried he was speaking to much about what most would think is useless.

"Wow you got some brains there. A mutant huh? That's intresting." Baki said. Baki said sheathing his silver sword. He dug his hands in his black coat pockets and gae a smile.
"That's cool, there are few vampires around now adays with people being all scared and what not. People misjudge alot of us and group us to be evil when only a few crazed ones are the only actual bad guys. We only take a sip every once and a while from a person." He explained.
"In fact, some scientists at Star Labs proved Vampires were orginally mutants whith super powers and people got religous and twisted things around. For Example, Crosses don't harm us. We can pass running water and we don't turn into bats." Baki said moaning aloud the last word hating it whenever someone cracks a bat joke on him.

"Interesting, so technically you are also a mutant. That's very strange then that people take scientific facts and turn into something to fear. I guess even through the age of enlightenment and scientific advances people remain in ignorant darkness." Vader had indeed initially thought that Shade was of supernatural origin, but hearing the revelation of vampires being a sub-form of mutants raises a lot of questions of them. "The information I've obtained about vampires involve them drinking blood for survival, but doesn't explain the exact uses of such actions. But this means that there is a biological reason for this. Do you know why vampires require blood for sustenance?" he asked Shade hoping he could enlighten him with an answer.

"Well.. it's sort of long but i can somewhat clear up on that, see. The reason we have super strength is because of the amount of oxygen we use in our blood. Whenever we use our powers we use up more oxygen and from that we get de-oxygenized blood. Because of that if we don't drink other people's blood over time we get weaker. See we do drink other people's blood but we only need a small amount at a time to stay healthy. See this is where the crazed ones come in. We get stronger by drinking more blood. So Evenetually once every few hundred years a maniac somehow turns into one of us and goes on a massive killing spree and gets stronger with every victim he kills and then thats how we get our bad name and such. Also, it is what keeps us from aging as fast see we are not immortal but we age diffrently. A full grown vampire ages a tenth of a human so ten days will be like a day for a vampire. Since im a half vampire i age a fifth so five days to me is simular to a day for a normal guy." Baki said taking a deep breath after his long explanation.
"Oh but some of the myths are true like some of us can telecommunicate with animals and a few stronger ones can hypnotize people with eye contact. What about you? Do you think your genetic mutation was inherited or random?"

Jake stood wide eyed throughout Shade's explanation. He found the whole thing interesting, but it also raised questions, some not even having to do with the subject. "That's very interesting, it's obvious that vampires gained that ability through eventual evolution, but why drinking blood? There are many ways they could've adapted without having to go power crazy. Perhaps an alternate increased method or organ for obtaining oxygen could've grown which would do less harm to people. But..." he was interupted by Shade's question, though this was Jake's fault since he had began rambling too soon.
Vader stroked his chin as he began to ponder his own origins. He had never looked into his own situation too much, he only figured out he was a mutant and that was all. He began to think more aloud now. "Well honestly I had never wondered about my own origins, but I would suppose it was a genetic mutation. Mutations occur either from an abnormality of the contributing genes, or an artificial genetic phenomenon caused by something such as nuclear radiation. I've never been around hazardous material, so it's obvious that my mutation was 'randomly' genetic. But what form of mutation makes vampires and a universal form if mutant different?" he stared off and began to think of the different possibilities, but then he glanced at Shade. He looked down a bit in embarassment and scratched the back of his head. "But I guess something like that isn't of real relevance right now is it?"

Shade shrugged. "Well i know one thing for sure. I'm a Vampire and your a Mutant and were both titans with gifted powers. So let's show off what we can do. SEND OUT WAVE 2!" Baki yelled at the room. The voice command sequence would begin to initiate and a a humming sound wirled as a wave of more heavily armored sparring droids came out of random panels of the walls.
"Better get ready, things are about to get a little shadey around here." Night Shade said smirking at his own pun abit he usheated his katana and readied himself into a stance.

Vader nodded, “Yes. We most both do what we can to make sure crime comes to a halt and the people are safe.” A surprised look came on his face now as Shade suddenly called out the second waves of drones. “Wait, what?” Vader snapped into position as the armed drones appeared. He rolled up the top part of his suit to cover his mouth as a mask. “You should really alert me when you do something like that. If I wasn’t prepared I could’ve been harmed.” He waited now for the wave to go into full motion.

"But that would take all the fun out of it." Baki replied. He concentrated his energy into his sword and it glowed a deep purlple. He pointed his sword at the wave of robots and sent a concentrated beam of energy through the tip of his sword and it shot through the center of one of the robot's chest and burned through it's body.
He then leapedhigh into the air raising his sword aboce his head and sliced through another one vertically swinging his sword he was slicing through the robots as if it were nothing. getting hit a few times with non lethal lazers but it was no biggie.

"Fun? I don't see how injury could be fun." Vader obviously did not understand the joke. Quickly he flew toward a bot, shifting into a stream f smoke with only his head and shoulder intact to lead. He quickly reformed and shifted his right arm into a pike, stabbing stright through the chest of one. He turned to use the bot as a shield as others shot at him. He spun around and loosened his arm to a stream with the pike intact, releasing the bot to destroy two others.
"Well this isn't too bad, but it is a decent workout." He didn't seem to be having much trouble at all. Vader formed hand into a hammer, lossening the rest of his arm and swining it down to smash another one, turning into something similar to a smashed coke can. He looked toward Shade to see how he was fairing.

Baki charged recklessly into a group of robots. Lunging his sword into one of them he got it stuck into the neck of one of them. "NO problem...." Baki said kicking the bot away with his sword he revealed his long black razor sharp nails and cut through the bots by shredding through their armor with his hands. His hands hurt abit afterwards but it was normal. After the last of the group was shredded like paper in a paper shredder he reached for his sword with the one it was stuck in and holding the handle of the blade he smiled.
The blade glowed a slight pink and then a deep purple and shook as it vibrated in Baki's hand and melted the robot right down to liquid. Baki panted after that. Turning to Vadar he explained. "I'm sure you know Newton's law, that for every action there is an equal yet opposite reaction." Baki said falling to a knee. "The more energy i use the more tired i become." he said.
