Nome, Alaska, has been plagued with strange killings every full moon. According to local legend, these killings are being perpetrated by a beast known as Amarok. But that's just a story, right? It's Ninja Kat, Shockwave, and The Masked Scarlet's job to find out!

@Godzillawolf, @Majin Mew, @Willow's Tara, @ebansu
 
Ninja Kat pulled the collar of her jacket up and stuffed her gloved hands in her pockets. It was pretty cold, and she had so far spent her afternoon walking down the streets of Alaska trying to get to know the area whilst puzzling herself over the mysterious killings. "Every full moon, this has gotta be some joke right?" She mummbled to herself.
 
"This is anything but a joke," said Shockwave randomly materializing beside Ninja Kat. He had spent some time studying the electrical layout of all of Alaska, which wasn't all that hard considering how small the population was. "Your acting like your new to this. The worlds been full of it lately, crazy mutants, demons, and on occasion aliens." He fit well into the first category, but Ninja on the other hand was a regular person.
 
"Not new to this at all," She muttered back to Shockwave, completeley unfased by his sudden appearance, "Just sounds like a werewolf, and if it is, surely this is just a pretty easy job. All we have to do is put some myths to thes test and this'll be over and done with. When's the next full moon?"
 
Mako set at a restruant, calmly drinking his coffee. He wasn't set to commit his next murder until later tonight. What most didn't understand about Werewolves was the full moon only thing was a hollywood invention. While he was at his most powerful the night of the full moon, that wasn't the only time his powers worked. It'd be pretty dang inconveniant if it was. This time, he'd decided to spice things up a little. Normally he only murdered on the night of the full moon, had been for awhile, but this time, as he neared 12 victims, he was getting bored. So he decided to reveal a little fact to the peaceful citizens of this town. They weren't safe on nights when the full moon wasn't up.
 
"In a few days," replied Shockwave, "If they plan on keeping the pattern going, then we should be in the clear." He looked around and shook his head. He was still a bit shaken up from his last mission. Not only had they failed to stop Black Mist, but one of the heroes working with him had been murdered. He refused to let that happen again no matter what.
 
"Well, I think it's clearly a werewolf" The Masked Scarlett's voice came as she approached them. "A girl could be wrong, but it's just a strong feeling I have" Raven commented, she didn't doubt for a second it was a werewolf unless there was a new breed of vampires or something. "So a few nights? Then we should attain something silver" Raven said before fishing through a bag she placed on a table, seeing if she could find anything silver while listening to the other two.
 
"Yeah but let's think about this." Ninja Kat said. "I reckon we find the werewolf on the night of the full moon. A werewolf, to normal myths, change back agian to human after the full moon. Why do we not track it down and follow it until it transforms back. Then we deal with it." She pulled out her mobile, "That way, it'll be just like anyother person."
 
"Not a bad idea, then we inform him he's a werewolf and tell him we could easily help him out. Three nights out of a month we keep him contained and the rest he's free" Raven replied, she wondered for a moment if the werewolf had any idea on what he was doing, but she doubted it since most really didn't know what they were doing.
 
"Reasonable, but still risky," said Shockwave always finding a flaw in anyone's plan, "If it really is a wolf then he'd have the senses of a wolf. It's kinda hard to hide from an animal. Scent, hearing, sight, all would give away our location."
 
"Then maybe we use some kind of bait," Ninja Kat suggested, "It might be risky, and might risk someone losing their life, but not if it were one of us." She thought about this for a moment. "I think the first thing is to find anything that links the victims." She held up her phone, and then went on the interent getting up newsreports, and quickly scribbling down the names of the twelve victims.
 
"Wait, wait twelve?" asked Shockwave, "So he's been at this for about a year and we're just finding out?" He apparently hadn't gotten the most detailed mission briefing.
 
"....No, something's not right." Ninja Kat let out a low whistle. "I'm going to go to an internet cafe or something and research. I'll see you both later." She adjusted the backpack on her shoulder and rushed off. She'd get some locations first, scenes of the crimes, search up the victims and find a trace.
 
"Maybe they just found the bodies, or didn't link it until now. There have been many crimes of both natural and not so natural that have gone unnoticed until a certain period of time, plus it could have been one a month so nobody got suspicious" Raven suggested now. "Now, should we pretend to be cops and interview the family members of the victims?" Raven asked Shockwave.
 
"Sure, shouldn't be too hard," he said shrugging. He held his hand into the air and closed his eyes. He scanned the surrounding area and found what he was looking for. Not too far off, a police officer eating donuts suddenly felt a tugging in his pocket. His badge flew out and began to fly in what seemed to be a random direction. He shrugged it off and continued his meal. The badge flew right into Shockwave hand and he read it. "Officer Bob..." he read pinching the bridge of his nose, "Leave it to Alaska..."
 
Ninja Katsat in an interent cafe. She tilted the laptop screen so that nobody would see what she was looking up. She typed in a victims name on to Google, followed by the location, to see if something came up. Third link down, straught awy was a link regarding the victims murder. She scrolled down, but that seemmed to be the only one that was about that particular person.
 
The Masked Scarlett managed to keep up despite having no flying ability herself, she soon caught up to Shockwave now and pulled out a badge from her pocket, she got it right before leaving. "Lucky I am always a little prepared, see" Scarlett told him pointing to the badge that said Officer Katherine Ferguson. "Now where shall we start?" she asked
 
OOC: Oh, I must have gotten confused with something, forget that part then, Raven just followed him
 
"That should our first stop," said Shockwave, pointing to a phonebooth down the street, "I didn't even know those still existed." The sun was visibly setting in the distance. "We better hurry," he mumbled running into the booth. He began to flip through a phonebook that sat on a small shelf. "You got a list of victims?" he asked.
