Hip hop. The genre has exploded in the past few decades and is no longer just limited to certain groups. If anything, a city like New York has a vibrant scene with various crews, dance studios, teachers, and of course, competitions.

This afternoon not too far from the grounds of Empire State is one of said competitions. Crews from all over the state have arrived at one of the performing centers for World of Dance - New York. Naturally, there's more than a few recognizable judges amongst the dancers, and they're definitely enjoying the competition thus far.

Crews made up of young teenager girls (13+) are competing today. The varied costumes, concepts, and dancing genres are as diverse as the city of New York itself.

On stage right now? A mixture of dances in feminine styles vs masculine styles. There's whacking, voguing, and krumping. Each of the five dancers take their turn to shine throughout a seemingly well choreographed performance.

And in the end, the MC of the evening, a rather handsome, redheaded Korean by the name of Wang Daniel speaks up.

"Let's give it up for the ladies of Jelly Republic!"

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson has never had much experience with hip hop. So it's a lovely thing to drop by and explore on an afternoon off! She's watching over at many of the dancers, looking impressed while tapping her wrist over on her side, bobbling along to the music and looking relaxed.

"They've got some great movies." She's very, very impressed by the sheer passion that they all put into thier dancing. How it's all (to her) improvised on the spot to match the beat.

She hums along to some of the music, standing in the midst of the crowd while she wears a large Spider-Man hoodie.

Julian Keller has posed:
Julian Keller is out of place in how he is dressed. Apparently, he is either going to or coming from an even that required a tuxedo. Black on white it fits him perfectly, even the top hat looks perfect onto of his head. Judging by the slightly tired look in his eyes, however, he is just now starting to wind down from his previous nights party.

It's good to be young.

A crowd and music is always going to capture the attention, so even looking out of place among the mostly hip-hop looking folks there to enjoy the performnce, Julian is caught up to watching it. "Woohoo!" He shouts out and gives a loud clap. "More! I want to see more!"

Nico Minoru has posed:
There is passion in the dancing. A passion for the art, a desperation to win. The girls have clearly put blood, sweat, and tears into their performances, and as the next group comes out, a rather striking young Korean girl hears the loud clap and winks with a bit of a smirk in Julian's direction.

He wants more, so he'll definitely get it.

The girls are dressed in silver and yellow bodysuits, the seven of them more on the older teen side. They yell together, "We are the queen of queens..."

And just before they can finish their statement a loud BONG can be heard from somewhere.

BONG! BONG! BONG!

People can feel the sound reverberating through their bodies as up on one of the rooftops a person in a costume appears. The armor he wears is gold and blue. Could he be Doctor Fate?

No, as the sound of a clearly male voice yells out, "WHAT IS THIS TRAVESTY AGAINST MUSIC?!?!"

Stepping into the limelight, his features can be be made out. The most noticeable is the bell shaped helmet, giving him an almost cartoonish sort of look. Tapping his helmet with his knuckles, another wave of sound (very bass-ey) runs through the audience, causing ear pain and a loss of balance.

"DOCTOR BONG IS GOING TO PRESCRIBE YOU YOUNG LADIES A DOSE OF CLASSICAL!"

Julian Keller has posed:
Julian Keller says, "It parsed right in the log it looks like. just not in game. hmm."

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
She's been enjoying herself. This is a fun thing to be out and doing. IT's relaxing, it's fun, and it's getting to see things she doesn't get to that oftne. A change of pace can be a good thing.. Her musing is cut off over as the group of girls head over towards Julian..

Then there's that loud gong. What the..? She sees a man with a bell for a head and a gong for a hand. What.. The.. ALso wait, why is there an anthropomorphic duck wearing a french maid outfit? That..

Is a question she should not be asking. Because she might not want the answer. She just flat out stares for several moments, twitching and trying to assess what is going on and trying to figure out what to do.

The gonging and the bonging have her deafened now, even as she staggers and puts her hand up and over to her ears even as she glares about. This is Peter's luck rubbing off on her. It has to be Peter's luck.

Julian Keller has posed:
Julian Keller eyes light up and continues to hoot an holler when the next group comes out. His jaw drops a moment when the saucy young dancer flirts with him at a distance but he's about to put on the smolder and go full cool with up nod and everything, when the sounds of the Bongs ring through the air.

"What in the . ." What ever Julian was going to say, however, is cut off with the loudness and deafening ringing in the air. It's sound so much, causing the Top Hat to drop from his head when he drops to his knees covering his ears in the pain he feels.

His head droops for a moment has he tries to fight through the pain and when he looks up, they are glowing green. Whatever was about to happen, doesn't as the glow in his eyes drops away, as the pain from the sound is too much.

For now.

Nico Minoru has posed:
The sound of violins starts to play. It's a haunting set of three notes, rising by a whole step and a half with each passing moment. For those who are afficionados of classical music would recognize it as the beginning of one of Mozart's most recognizable chorale works.

That's when the sound of the Hungarian State Chorus starts to blast out from the helmet of a certain Doctor Bong. He wasn't kidding when he would bring out the classical music as he clearly despises the youngin sounds of hip hop. With the sounds of a cello coming in is when the music truly feels complete.

"~Lacrimosa dies illa. Qua resurget ex favilla. Judicandus homo reus...~"

The sound systems start to explode with a loud kaboom. The piercing sound of feedback screeches in the area.

All Dr. Bong does is spread his arms wide, and laughs in that cliche villainous manner.

"YESSSS! Cower! Remember that hip hop is the devil's music! All hail Mozart!"

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson gets her way up to her feet, shaking her head over to try and reorient herself. "All right, focus. This is weird. Not as weird as Ham.." Don't ask what she means 'not as weird as ham'. "The devil's music? Next you'll say that video games are the devil's lure! Or role playing games! Settle on a single thing! And you're making a mockery of Mozart!" She can appreciate classical.. Even if not that often.

She goes to try and circle around towards Bong, seeing if he would automatically track her. The point is that if he's paying attention to her and not on the civilians, they have a chance to get away. "And who are you to judge what other people can enjoy and appreciate? Regardless, your methods are just alienating them from a genre they might appreciate! So you're turning away people from sharing your interests!"

Don't make fun of the supervillain's gimmick. Yet. That tends to go badly. Moving to circle over and looking for something on the ground she can throw..

Julian Keller has posed:
\One foot. Then the next, Julian pushes to his feet. Grabbing his top hat and placing it on top of his head. "You know." He growls out, his eyes suddenly flickering to life again. "I love this music. Grew up on this shit." Suddenly street lights start to pop randomly. Breaking a bursting in random and uncontrollable fashion. Shards of glass falling to the ground causing people running in mayham to duck and weave.

"But, fuck a duck, I bet those girls could fucking dance to anything!" He's stalking toward Dr. Bong, his hands starting to glow brighter green. "But I bet your simple mind would never consider that. Fucking stand still I'm going to lay an ass whooping like you've never seen."

Nico Minoru has posed:
There's the Mary Jane trying to attract the attention of Doctor Bong. Yes, those two things normally go together, but not in case.

The 'eyes' of the helmet seem to widen as he lets out another sound, tapping on his helmet once more.

A loud QUAAAAAAACK! reverberates through the area once more Pop! Suddenly, an anthropomorphic duck in a French maid outfit appears in front of the redhead and lets out an angry sounding QUACK at her.

You know how ducks can get seriously mad if you mess with their nests? This is no different as the French maid duck quacks and starts rushing towards her, its wings flapping quite angrily as if to make itself seem much bigger and more intimidating.

She wanted his attention, she got it. That is until Julian makes himself known as well.

"Then they should dance to classical! Ballet! Contemporary! None of this... atrocities to sound and the arts." Yes, he clearly does NOT like hip hop. He then raps his knuckles against the helmet and a wave of concussive force is sent towards Julian.

Is he fast enough to put up a shield? Strong enough to push back? Who knows?

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
There's a bit more circling from Mary Jane as she goes to keep the attention over on her from Bong. "So, all you're accomplishing here is gonig to alienate fans that might have been drawn to encounters naturally." Then Bong is going to hit the top of his head and..

Not many things can make Mary Jane go wait what. She's seen GIbbon and Grizzly stealing a vehicle from a movie to try and get a liscencing deal. She's seen Bessie the Hellcow. A teleporting duck in a french maid outfit? That is a rare 'wait what' from her.

THis duck is definitely amuck as it's on her like an angry goose. "Gah! Don't make me make you a roast!" At least there's only signs of madness, not it going fully daffy. She gives a quick look over to Julian with a 'get out of here' mixed with 'please help' as she tries to fend off the duck.

Julian Keller has posed:
Julian Keller is calm enough, it seems. But he isn't quite quick enough to get his shield up in time to stop all of the concussive force. His arms come up in a cross as the first wave hits him. Suddenly his hands go flying off leaving just stumps. He's pushed back several feet before he is able to bring up that green glowing shield of his.

Long moments happen as the air around the green glowing shield, seem to shimmer with the force of the impacts. The longer it occurs the more, the brighter Julian's eyes seem to glow green. "You talk to much." He growls out, taking a step forward towards Dr. Bong the strain easily seen. "Classical music is from the past, you ass hat. Let the girls have the future." The more he monlogues the brighter his shield grows. His words displacing his anger. His words allowing him to focus on pushing through the blasts.

It's all going swimmingly until he's distracted by a Maid Duck. "What the fuuu..." look Julian is flying backwards.

Nico Minoru has posed:
QUACK QUACK QUACK!

Continuing to flap its wings to look menacing French Maid the Duck starts to thrust it's blunt beak towards the red head. What exactly is it trying to do? The equivalent of a punch to jab and bruise the young woman to keep her away from its master.

Dr. Bong is mostly focused on Julian, maintaining the concussive force of sound battering against him. Still, the sight of the hands flying off and becoming stumps causes him to stop and squint for a few moments.

Yes, the eyes of his helmet squints like this -_-

"Just leave and let me destroy this place so that none of these abomination of dance competitions continue!"

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane is on the retreat as the duck maid goes to keep on after her. "Hey, I'm not feeling peckish even if you are!" She goes to look about frantically for something to use. Even as she goes to rapidly cycle away, her eyes go to fall over upon a discarded rubber chicken. It's not the most inspiring weapon. But desperate times, desperate measures.. Mary Jane goes to yoink up the rubber chicken, spinning it in front of her like a nunchuck.

"C'mon, you want a gander?" She holds it up threateningly in front of her as it makes a creepy series of honks under the pressure. "Because rubber duckie, you're definitely not the one!"

Julian Keller has posed:
Julian Keller goes flying, doing impressive twists in the air and slams into a NYC Police car, causing a loud crunching sound as metal bends and folds and snaps around the body of Julian. It slides back a few feet causing an impressive amount of dust.

There is nothing. No movement. Just the sounds of people screaming and running around.

There is nothing. Nothing until a green aura starts to filter through the slowly settling dust. One moment that is all there is. The next, Julian is blasting from the car propelled by telekentic energy. Flying a few feet off the ground. Faster and faster. "You ruined my Top Hat!"

And there next to the police car is said top hat, smushed. Looks like a Dr. Bong may get force smashed.

Nico Minoru has posed:
HONK! QUACK! HONK! QUACK!

The scene with the French Maid Duck and Mary Jane is definitely surreal. With the latter using a rubber chicken as the make shift weapon, there's a few good slaps of the duck's beak when it tries to peck at the redhead once more. It sends the French Maid back, and it now bounces of its feel, looking a tad bit more pissed.

The crash of the telekine against the car causes Dr. Bong to once more let out a hearty laugh of triumph. But then the kinetic blasts are sent his way!

Not anticipating such a thing, he stumbles back several times, losing his focus as he grumbles and arghs under his breath. "No! Dr. Bong shall NOT be defeated!"

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson would look over her shoulders as Julian faces off against Doctor Bong, and yells out, "Never ask for whom the bell tolls, for it tolls for thee!" The quote didn't go quite that way, and it would probably drive the not so good Doctor even angrier.. But you couldn't let a supervillain with a bell for a head go wtihout that taunt being thrown out.

She goes to keep on the offensive, engaging the French Maid. "So, we can keep this going and I can start doing a whole list of chicken puns, or you can just go ahead and leave. So what will it be?" Even as her other hand finds an abandoned rubber ducky on the ground.

"So get out of here while you still can."

Julian Keller has posed:
\The blasts from Julian come in at waves even as he hurls himself towards Dr. Bong. The green bolts hit his target. Mostly. Soft don't and hurl into trees, breaking branches or into other cars along the street. So many taxi's are broken when there is a battle afoot.

"I'm not interested in defeating you," Julian shouts as the two collide and trade furious blows back and forth. "I just want you to go away!" It's funny to watch, in a way. Fist hitting Julian. Julians stumpy hands doing seemingly no effect on the villain. That is until his hand suddenly glows green as he delivers an upper cut. His 'fist' taking shape with tk power and landing square on the jaw cause the bell to ring. "Ha! Rang his bell!"

Nico Minoru has posed:
Kablam! Bonk! Bash!

Each of those green telekinetic bolts hits their target like incredibly strong punches. If it wasn't for the armor, surely the good doctor would be pummeled but instead he's just off balance. But that leaves him open for that upper cut!

ZONK!

It's practically a move from the video game Street Fighter. Is that a green dragon uppercut? Who knows, but it might as well be as Dr. Bong is hit so hard he gets launched in the air and crashed back into one of the stages where the frightened members of the girl dancing crew shriek.

"YOU RUINED OUR COMPETITION!" one of them screams and the seven rush to kick and stomp upon the mostly downed Dr. Bong.

And then the camera shifts to Mary Jane.

QUUUUUAAAACK! HONK!

The French Maid duck is definitely angry from having been beaten by a rubber chicken and now a rubber duck seemingly from nowhere. It quacks angrily once more and then when the good doctor goes unconscious from the kicking girls...

The French Maid duck is no more. Instead, there's just a regular looking mallard duck wandering around and seeing if there's any bread.

QUACK!

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
She goes to release the rubber ducky (it's not the one) and turns her attention over to the girls moving to lay a beat down over on Doctor Bong. "I almost feel sorry for the guy." Hell hath no fury like a teenage girl scorned. As the bell is rung, she can just watch over in twisted, amused interest while looking in Julian's direction.

Making sure he's okay and hasn't been swarmed on by a duck with Donald's speech impediment and Daffy's attention span.

Julian Keller has posed:
\It's an odd look. A man with glowing green eyes. A man in a tuxedo. A man without hands. Just stumps where there should be a hand and fingers. But even with the oddness of him, his tuxedo looks to be totally intact. In fact, when Julian stands a bit taller and brushes the dust and dirt off his shoulders, and brushes his hair with his stump, it's almost like none of this happened.

Especially when the green his eyes wink out. Letting out a heavy sigh, Julian turns to look for his hands. Seeing them, he studies them for a moment and once again the green eyes return and the hands are awash with the green glow as they are floated towards him. It takes some work but finally his hands are back where they belong and he turns towards Mary Jane and the girls as he makes his way towards them. "You ladies all okay? Sorry you had to see all that. That man needed a Hook to get out of here." He pauses looking at the girls kicking the shit out of him. "Uh, ladies. Why don't we stop beating him and let the authorities," or whoever, "take him away."
