Ut Alii Vivant

[sblock=OoC] out of the suit, Felix would be too heavy to fly with, fall down and land uncomfortably? maybe, I would expect a lot of being knocked out, sadly, Felix has one last thing he needs the suit for...[/sblock]The robot was a death trap, he could not bet the others on, Maybe, making a new force wall to slow them on and Maybe being able to slow it down enough. He did still see one out though. and to that he breathed, and the suit Boomed
"Ut Alii Vivant.".

The phrase spoken the suit's arms, and half mangled hands suddenly dropped to its sides as it lurched forwards with purpose in an attempt to bull rush the others out of the breach before straining the limits of the suit to chunk them upwards in a vain attempt to make their impacts survivable.

That he was accepting their inertia as his own was aside the point: The suit itself was already a death trap at these speeds.
To late or not, he was then deliriously tempted try and blow the bolts of the front hatch, undo this seat belts, and then leap out for all he was worth, but he only had time for maybe the hatch, that would just compromise the suit's structure further. Instead he disengaged the suit's power, and braced for impact as as he drowned in the dread, disbelief and delirium.

Ut Alii Vivant; So that others may live
[sblock=OoC]None combat Grab others as items with quickness 2 (works if they let it) and improved grab, speed 3 out the breach and leap upwards, then strain to chuck party as 3th action: unless I'm missing something, he only needs to toss Kit and silver? if so they are within mass rank 3, he is str 9, meaning he can toss them 1800', meaning with the leap he can bleed off 218.182 mph for them... assuming he gets to, he can maybe interpose? Fuzz ball is a write off me thinks.[/sblock]

Round 17

“Everyone! Get out now!” Caleb shouted into his comm as he saw the bomb. Remaining intangible, he dropped down through the robot again, exiting from it and entering freefall, He hoped his intangibility would keep him safer.

OOC: Not sure how that will be affected by gravity and terminal velocity and all that.


He saw the back hatch of the robot blast open and the others tumble out. He hoped they would be able to catch each other.

Kitsune is taken completely by surprise by Felix's actions, and as she hurtles UP through the air she realizes what he's trying to do. Her eyes narrow, and she uses her arms and legs to catch the wind and turn herself to dive straight back down again. The same telekinetic force she might have used to slow her fall down she now uses to push WITH gravity, accelerating herself back down towards the plummeting suit of armor!

They don't have far left to fall by the time she reaches Felix and holds on tightly. She's not sure she has the power to do this...she's only ever tried with herself, and Felix's suit weighs a lot more.

Solidity is an illusion...a byproduct of electromagnetic forces interacting between the atoms that make objects up. Kitsune drew on her power over those forces now as she had in the past...to create 'solidity' without matter. Phantom interactions that would affect Felix and herself as if it was...well, not solid in this case, but like a thick fluid. Cushioning. Slowing.

The armored suit was so much denser than a human body though! It plowed right through her first effort as if it hadn't even been there! Kitsune held on though, doubling down, tripling down...until her nerves burned and the world 'whited out' around her as she turned every last ounce of her ability to this task, leaving her blind again.

She almost didn't feel the gentle 'thud' when the suit soft-landed, nearly jolting her off of him. Dazed, exhausted, she looked up at the sky as the world swam back into 'view' around her, and laughed.

(Extra Effort, now 2 levels of fatigue, to power stunt a new Safe Fall power with Affects Others)
 

The Princess flies out the hatch behind Felix and the others. The air current makes her feel like her feathers are all going to rip off but they hold on as she slows, the robot flying away. She looks around for The Shadow and sees his insubstantial form falling below her. She wonders if she can deflect him from hitting the ground hard... Flying after him, she sings her protection power with an added couple words, "Brilliant Comet Birdie Sentinels Hold Aloft". Small birds of pure light emanate from her torso and rush to The Shadow.
OOC: Extra Effort: Power Stunt, Safe Fall: Affects Others, Affects Insubstantial. Activation roll: [roll0] DC 15, failed. One level of Fatigue

Not willing to give up she tries harder.
OOC: Use hero point to reroll. [roll0] DC 15.

The birds of light fly to The Shadow and, to his surprise, grasp him in their claws. Their little wings somehow slow his decent to almost nothing as he reaches the ground safely. As he touches the ground the birds fade away.

The Princess lands nearby, "Are you -- alright?" she asked taking a few deep breaths.

OOC: I think The Princess has a level of toughness damage. If so, her regen would have kicked in and healed it.

Acting almost without thought, Felix races towards the now gaping hole in the robot's back and scoops up Silver Streak and Kitsune in his great arms and flinging them outside as he lept into the open sky. The Shadow simply slipped back out of the robot in his shadowform as Princess Starlight flew out with a great burst of light. Kitsune dive bombed Felixes armored form and extending her TK abilities and pushing hard slowed his great metal form to land fairly softly onto the ground. Princess Starlight causes brilliant birds of light to burst from her body that caught the Shadow and helped lower him safely too the group. Silver Streak spun himself into a great wind vortex that allowed him to lower himself safely...

As the heroes were preforming these feats of wonder, the giant robot continues flying for a few seconds, and then EXPLODED catching everyone in a pressurized boom that almost knocked them off their feet!!! As the group gathered together and caught their breath they realized that they had defeating the technological monstrosity and saved the city from further destruction. Had the robot exploded within the city limits it would have caused untold damage.

"Centurions, please come in! Are you still with us Centurions!!! This is AEGIS, come in please! Did you survive that blast?" a voices cuts through the static and is heard over everyone's comlink that is still working "Come in Centurions, we have a situation and we need you help!!!"

GM: OK everyone gets +1 Hero Points and +2 Power Points XP that they can spend on their characters advances right now (or save for later) as we continue onto Part 2 of Death Duel with the Destroyers!!!

If you have a level of Fatigue it recovers in a few minutes of rest. Wounds that are not lasting about the same (unless you have Regeneration, then its faster and helps with lasting wounds, etc) but you may not have the time depending on what you do next...

Round 18

Shadow plummeted toward the ground, already calculating just how he could come out of this alive. Then suddenly birds of light were flying around him, grabbing him and slowing his fall. He glanced over with surprise at Princess.

When they landed, Shadow turned to the young hero, grabbing her and shielding her from the blast of the exploding robot with his body as it shoved them to the ground.

“You okay, kid?” Caleb asked the teenage girl.

Shadow tapped his communicator. “Shadow here,” he responded to AEGIS. “We’re all alive, if a bit worn out. What is the situation? We’re quite a ways outside the city. Can you lock on our position and get us a ride?” he asked.

"Thank god" comes Agent Gold's voice back over the comlink to Shadows reply "We were worried. When the robot left the city center all communications with you ended. We are also now getting reports from the Human Inc. headquarters in MainTown of a possible security breach. Something is also happening at the Cross-World Industries headquarters. Both buildings were evacuated prior to the doomsday robot attack, but they had security subsystems active and communication with both companies security outside of MainTown. It seems your teams thoughts that this might be a rouse where correct. We are sending a Thunderhawk VTOL were we spotted the robot's destruction if you need a lift into town..."

Frantic thoughts of "I'm going to Die!" and "it was not supposed to end this way!" rushed through Felix's head in an endless torrent as time slowed to an agonizing crawl. eternities passed and Felix knew that he would not even Feel the impact, it was not comforting.

*Thunk!*

Felix was suddenly dumb struck. What just happened? if other heros were going to be here, they would have been here for the start of it... so it made no sense for some flying brick to appear and just save him.
Giggling like a chipmunk that just watched the mountain lion that was about to devour it whole get ran over by a semi. Felix took his phone, it was ringing, and raised it in front of himself, dropped it, and it smacked him on the nose as it fell down.

The Mech's chest hissed, vented, and then the chest plate raised out of the way, Felix's trembling, fluffed out, visage emerged from the opening, as he stood on the back of his seat.
He has too many aches to be in heaven, and two few to be in hell, This did not look like limbo or the like: He was alive! Felix's mind occupier itself with making sure it was not just lost in some random dream, just before he died.

Shell shocked by the ordeal, Felix surveyed the area, saw Kitsune and pounced, Latched on, and clung for all he was worth, and muttering some mantra in an annoyingly fast manner as he pressed his face into her.
His phone range, forgotten in the suit.

OoC: Regen 1/2, fatigued, missing 1 toughness
