Rise of The Red Hood

"Sunset, give me a heads up over their location." Requested Red Hood, after being placed with Sunset in a robotics project for Technology class he was impressed with how Sunset worked with technology. Having her know who he was already he asked her to help him with his nightly duties. Due to the Bat incident he had to get an appearance change, now donning a mask underneath his hood along with contacts that gave him night vision, making his eyes white in the outside. He had a voice synthesizer placed with his mask to change his voice.

"It seems that they're a couple of feet ahead of you, make a right turn here and you'll most likely see them," Said Sunset.  Grappling to a ledge he perched and looked.

"I got them." Replied Red Hood, reports over a gang in Canterlot had been spewing these past weeks. Every time Daemon goes out after them they disappear. Deciding to take a more quiet approach he got above them and attacked. Landing on top of one he noticed that the rest ran.

"Look at your so called friends, ditching you like cowards what do you gain attacking these people!" Shouted Red Hood, grabbing on to the guy. Out of nowhere the individual took the form of Red Hood's appearance. Confused by the members sudden change, it took this chance to punch Red Hood and escape.

"Dammit, get back here!" Yelled Red Hood, still dazed from the hit, chasing him to the end of the alley it connected to a street, taking a left Red Hood saw a group of  civilians. Everyone started looking at him, each confused over his appearance. Deciding it was time to leave he ran back to the alley and grappled up to the roof.

"Are you fine, seems like he got you good?" Asked Sunset.

"Fine, now I know why they keep Disappearing all of the sudden. Come by my house tomorrow, we'll talk there." Said Daemon. Grappling towards another building he reached an alley, in that dark passage was hidden his Bike. Realizing how indiscreet he was he made some upgrades to his bike, placing some Plates that surround the main area to change appearance as well protecting the bike from anymore ballistic or blunt attacks.

Having Needed more space for his operations Daemon rode towards an abandoned warehouse, he recently set up base here. In there Daemon designed many projects.

"Well at least the look turns people away from here" Added Daemon, "now the real question is how they changed to look like me?" Inquired Daemon. Deciding he'll have more help tomorrow he looked unto his projects.

"Hmm, Insider...., Brainiac AI..., H.R.E Gauntlets and the Bat Serum. Still unfinished and still in development hell." Stated Daemon, he had no time for any of these projects.

"Maybe the holiday break will give me time," Thought Daemon, he looked out from the roof, seeing the flashing city at night somehow gave a calm sensation to him. Deciding it was time to head home Daemon left his equipment here and reverted his bike back to casual mode.

Going inside his garage Daemon got an ice pack and put it near his cheekbone, while it stung at impact it alleviated the pain. Daemon took a shower after that and headed to bed. He woke up around 9, getting dressed he expected for Sunset to arrive around noon so he decided to make some cereal and watch television.

"So this is what it feels like to be a kid again" Solemnly remarked Daemon. Once done with his meal he washed the dishes. Being done he turned off the TV and went to his room. Reaching the top step he looked down the corridor, three empty rooms. Daemon always thought to make use of the rooms but nothing came to mind. Going in to his room he sat in his bed, he looked over to his backpack. He walked toward it and opened it revealing the contents inside it: his laptop.

"Maybe I could work on the serum." Thought Daemon. Studying the genetic properties, he tried making a visual interpretation with his genetic structure to see if any problems appeared. Being so into his work Daemon lost track of his time when his phone alerted him. Having installed security measure his phone gave him a notice when someone entered his premises. Checking the time he knew it was Sunset so he walked towards his door. Sunset on the other hand reached his door to knock when all of the sudden Daemon opens it.

"Ahhh!" Screamed Sunset, "Don't do that"

"Hello to you too Sunset" Replied Daemon sarcastically.

"Alright about yesterday it seems as if they're able to mimic a persons physical appearance" Said Daemon

"Well that explains their name" Added Sunset

"You knew what they called themselves?" Questioned Daemon, he still hadn't figured out what they called themselves in order to have a better chance to find them.

"Yeah, they call themselves The Changelings, what you didn't know?" Asked Sunset

"Now I do, still if they can change ones appearance then how would we be able to find them without confusion" Thought Daemon

"Wait remember the attached machine to their back, what if that's what changes their appearance. Maybe if we could hack into it... no it would take to long." Though Daemon "Aha, an EMP blast,"

"You mean an Electromagnetic Pulse?" asked Sunset

"Well yeah, it can disable electronics in the area, so if that pack allows their transformation then we could disable it." Explained Daemon

"Well how could we trigger one where it will affect all of them?" Asked Sunset

"Don't know, maybe as a grenade or in a DEW." Said Daemon. They continued discussing the topic. Daemon and Sunset worked on the designs of the project when it was getting late.

"You should be getting home, it's getting late." Said Daemon

"Yeah I guess, see you in school tomorrow." Replied Sunset

"See you." Said Daemon. He reviewed the design, the appearance of a gun helped make the build easier than a grenade, which required compressing the contents.

"Never though I'd use something like that in my life." Referred Daemon, while looking towards the EMP Rifle design. He then looked over to the Bat Serum.

"Seems like it could work, although it increases Adrenaline. Could it cause aggression?" Wondered Daemon.
