"What?! Whaddaya mean you sold the business?!" came the voice of the angry, gruffer than the gruff man owner of the diner franchise.
"Pop! We had no choice! This guy...He made all the electricity disappear from the diner in a matter of seconds wit a single phone call! I tried punching him and he blocked me! I was gonna go outta business!"
"Damn it, son! Never give in to these white-collar workers demands! Haven't I told you that?!" The owner rose from his desk in the office and stared his son in the face. The son recoiled.
"Well, yea...but..." The son backed down and looked sheepishly at the ground.
"At least you're alright. I can always open another one and give you that." the owner flashed a smile of golden teeth, all with diamond fillings. He was dressed in a very ragged suit, giving off the impression that he spent all of his money on his teeth. Fitting for the owner of a food shop.
"Well...Fraid it's not that easy, Pop. He said that you've got to give him the whole business!"
"WHAT!? HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" the owner laughed. "Just what the hell makes him think I'll do that?!?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nathan checked his watch and was wondering what was taking the man so long to surrender the business. "What's taking so long?! Do I need to speed things up?!" he yelled impatiently. He dialed the number to his corporation again...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The power went out at the man's office.
"What the hell...?"
"He can control energy or somethin, Pop! If we don't sell it, he'll take away our power and run us out of business!"
"Damn it...Fine..." The owner took out a stack of papers from a desk labeled "Open in case of business sale". The papers were laden with words he didn't understand. He knew it meant something about selling the business, though. He took out a burger point pen and signed several of them.
"Take them papers to him, son. Tell him we'll be out o' here shortly. Don't accept less than a million for it!" The owner laughed and started hauling a bed out of the bathroom of his office. The family also lived there, it seemed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LATER THAT DAY
"Here's the...What've you done wit the business?!?" yelled the man as he approached his old diner and noticed the major changes.
"Oh, just spruced up the place." Nathan payed the man no mind; he was too busy directing the modification of the store. It had black wallpaper put up, leather sofas, huge ceiling fans over each table...Tables made of imported wood...It was a major improvement.
"Where's mah grease stains? Mah fry buckets?!" the man asked angrily.
"Like it matters. They're gone now, and for good reason. Have you gotten your father to sell the business yet?" Nathan asked without turning to face the man. He was still directing the improvements.
"Yea. No less than a million, he says!" the man laughed heartily, waving the documents around in the air.
"Only a million? Here's 1.5 for your troubles." Nathan wrote another check, traded it for the papers, and signed them. "I am now the proud owner of my very own chain of restaurants. Much obliged, greasy old person."
"Same to you, damn businessman." The old man smiled, shook Nathan's hand with a grease covered, bear like paw and walked out of the door.
"Once again...Too easy. I still can't shake the feeling that this has been done before..." Nathan handed the documents to a servant and walked around to monitor the progress of his restaurant improvement session.

(I threw that body that nicole shot at nathan but it missed)
Max, having wandered away from everybody, so he decided to go for a walk to his favorite restaurant. Only, he found it had changed.
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT was the sign posted out front.
"New management? Wonder who it is?" He somehow hissed the obvious conclusion, and walked in, shouting "What new management?"

"Please don't shout." Nathan turned around and, with a hint of distaste on his tongue, said "Oh, it's the oddly dressed kid. I bought this restaurant, as well as all of the franchise, just a few minutes ago. It's under my management, now." Seconds later a giant vehicle with a crane came and erected a sign on the building that said "Omnistar". "My grandfather always muttered that name in his sleep for some reason. Said it was the curse of the Veralice family name. Never knew what he meant, and quite frankly I never cared." Nathan said as he watched the sign glow from the window. He had since restored power to the store now that it was in his possession.

"But! But! You took over my favorite restaurant!" Favorite was a relative word. He meant "only food joint I visit beside my fridge because you own all of the other ones." Which was true.

Asher walked in, the body slung over his shoulder. He glanced around and smirked at Nathan. "Like what you've done with the place." He said, dumping the body at Nathan's feet. "And here's what I discovered. I call him Herbert." Asher said with a straight face.

Captain Awesome and Sinclair looked down upon the city square. There were storms of people rioting about labor rights and whatnot. They remained at their roosts, only to come down in case the bourgeois decided to break apart this mob of proletarian fury. (Hey austin, try to break up this mob of proletarian fury.)

"That's the way business works." Nathan replied nonchalantly. Considering how long it usually takes to redecorate buildings, Nathan's progress was moving rapidly. In fact, he was almost done. A worker for DEPCo was placing a price sign on the wall behind the counter. "No more of that sick, greasy food. Anyone who eats here will be eating healthily. Nine dollars for a glass of water, fifteen for a salad...Ah, the health benefits."

"Aww, I kinda liked the food here. Had a certain charm about it." Asher shrugged. "Watched this place rise and become from a small business to a franchise." He said fondly. "That owner sure did grow up fast."

Robert Fiasco walked into the restaurant and began to order some nuclear reactors (because every restaurant has some you just have to ask for them).
"Well this place looks busy today. Oh.. I've never seen you guys here before. Hi!"
As he said his hellos he pulled out an over-sized pistol and shot the person whom had just brought him his nuclear reactors.
"Well now to go save our Gods" he mumbled to himself.

Nathan watched the body fall at his feet and smiled half-heartedly. "Thanks...I think. By any chance did you discover the murd-" BRING! BRING! Nathan's cell phone rang.
"What is it? You're interrupting me in a- What? What do you mean there's a riot going on in the town? Fine, fine! Dispatch the R&D Department workers on them. Tell them to use the best developments they've made in Power Crystal technology. Spare no expense on crushing this riot where it stands." Nathan sighed and kicked the body with his shoe. The cheerleaders giggled. "Asher, for your second assignment, I'd like you to join up with and lead some of my...Well, they aren't soldiers, but...Anyway, downtown there's a riot that needs to be stopped. Your official weekly salary will start once this mission is complete."

Asher nodded. "Yessir." He said. He decided to use a skill not used in a while. In the blink of an eye, Asher was gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Asher reappeared in the middle of the DEPCo soldiers, who started at his appearance. "I'll be taking charge here." Asher said forcefully, daring anyone to disagree. "Captain, take twenty men and circle around those buildings. Get on the other side of these rioters. Everyone else, with me."
He strode towards the rioters, soldiers falling in behind him, shields raised. Asher dodged a few thrown objects without effort. Finally he stopped and raised a hand. The air in front of him shimmered and then exploded into a wall of flames. The rioters calmed quickly, staring at him.
"Clear off, now!" He yelled. No one moved. Asher sighed and nodded. "Very well." He snapped his fingers. Taking that as the signal, the soldiers raised their power weapons and open fired.
THe crowd screamed and began scattering in the opposite direction, oly to be met with the second security force, who also fired. THe rioters were boxed in between the two forces.
Asher watched the violence with an impassive face. Finally he turned and, as an after thought, flicked his cigarette into the crowd. It exploded in a ball of flames. "Everything burns.." He muttered as he disappeared behind the wall of soldiers.

"Not so fast! Capitalist dog!" sounded a booming voice. Sinclair and Captain Awesome both lunged towards the soldiers disarming them with relative ease.
"Hey youz there!" screamed Captain Awesome to Asher, "Da! You wilts be asksing for mercy from mine Ubermensch thrust!"
Asher was hit square in the face, knocking him back through a wall.

Robert began to walk out of the restaurant when he say the ball of fire hit the crowd. "Music to my ears," he said as he continued to walk. In the corner he saw Johnny Murder from the village. Robert than walked over to him and began to beat him with the nuclear reactor. "What are you doing here!?! Crap now the reactors broke. Oh well... Did you here that crowd? Sounds like death lets go watch." The began to walk toward the crowd to watch the massacre.

Robert and Johnny caught the body. "Hmm," they snickered "How might you be? No matter." They then said a prayer to Marcus God of awesomeness. In an instant they were wearing battle armor and they began to beat Max Power with the reactor, than they mad his swallow it.
