Initiatives: Speed Demon 30 (1S, 2HP), Loki 26 (Prone), Enemy leader 24 (1S, 2VP), Cosmo 22 (Burning, 3L, 2HP), MM 16 (Stunned, 1S, 1HP), Amazon 15 (2HP, 4S, stunned-power), X12 (1HP) and Med-Bot 14, Soldiers 14 (B=blinded), Stealer 12 (Battlesuit), Straightjacket 12 (Grappled, 1HP), Carl 12, Jackal 11 (1S, 1L, 2HP, berserk), Anna 6 (Disabled, 1L), Multibrain 4 (2HP), Neutron 3 (Stunned, 1HP), Dara 2
X12 grabs for the case and grabs hold of the handle just as Michelle loses her magnetic hold. He and the Leader enter into test of strength for control of the case.
Opposed check, X12 gets 14. Do you want to re-roll? Re-roll used, score of 17! Leader gets a score of 23 and comes away with the case though.
The groan of metal grinding on metal sounds from the front of the train and a low growl echoes through the air as well. With an surge of motion, a large pile of rubble explodes as Jackal stands up, arms thrown upward as he surges to his full height. He crouches and with a roar, leaps forward, landing lightly on the back of the first in-tact seats. Eyes glowing red and saliva dripping from his jowls, he enters a snarling charge across the seats at the Leader with the cannon. Six inch claws extend from his claws as he leaps the final two rows, and Neutron, landing in the energy beam. The acrid smell of burning fur fills the area, but Jackal pushes himself against the lasers power, reaching forward and slashing through the barrel. The gun shorts out and the Leader holding the remnants unslings it and reaches for a hand blaster at his hip.
Jackal makes his balance checks for his movement across the seats and his jump check for the leap past Neutron. He is struck full force by the energy beam, freeing Neutron from his pin, taking a lethal hit and ending up stunned. He spends a hero point to negate the stun immediately, and attacks the weapon itself, sundering it.
Kevin, now faced with three of the four leaders, takes advantage of the focus on the case and leaps the nearby bench, landing in front of Anna, pulling his bracelet off. As he does so, he feels someone slap something on his back. He feels a painful pinch as four... somethings dig into his skin on either side of his spine, then hears an ominous clicking sound and sees iron plates moving around his chest and down his arms and legs. He holds his breath as they climb his neck and encompass his head. For a short instant, there's complete darkness, then a screen activates and he can see in an enhanced vision mode.
Kevin is now in a Battlesuit!
A menu system seems to be activated by your eyes, and targetting crosshairs are taking in a nearly 360 degree view. Your eyes lock on a weapons menu.
OOC: Anna has given you her battlesuit, because she's too badly hurt to use it herself. The suit seems fairly easy to use, and in a short second you've figured out the following: Energy Blast +6 (stunt: dual damage, extra: area affect), All-around-sight (feat, super)
Johan concentrates, and a pair of duplicates step out him, one after another, as the remaining three lesser duplicates (Mb8, 9, 7) head for the cockpit. All three vanish into the choking black smoke.
Mb8 was outside the grenade blast; two others were killed.
As the duplicates enter the cockpit, the entire train lurches suddenly and sparks appear outside the windows. It appears a brake has been deployed. Two large shakes further rattle the train as the helicopters land on the roof. The two stewards pull the door behind them open, revealing a reporter with a camera rolling. The male steward shoots him in the chest, shoving him bleeding into the next car, where you hear screaming coming from, as he leaves your car, and the female steward leaves behind him, closing the door.
Dara rushes forward to where the injured and dying student is, to try to help.
Inside the Cockpit (Johan only)
Your mental link holds solid with your duplicates as they enter the smoke filled room. You see falling parts, sparking consoles and a big gout of fire! Mb8 is hit and destroyed, being reabsorbed into your being. Mb9 and Mb7 dodge the fire and make it inside. Cosmo, face scorched and metal still piercing his forearm, has his hands around a beam and with immense strength (despite the fact you can see his bracelet still on), heaves it to the side, revealing a trap door. He pulls it up revealing an emergency manual brake.
Mb8 looks forward, standing at the nearly ruined control panel and sees the corner fast approaching. A warning light over the speed indicator shows 380mph. Mb7 sees a sign whip by indicating maximum speed for this section of track is 150mph. The engine is running in an accellerating mode.
"Shut the engine down!" shouts Cosmo over the sound of the engine, fire and falling parts. Ignoring a fuel fire inside the manual braking trapdoor, he reaches in and pulls hard on the brake. You hear the braking system kick in, and the train gives a heavy lurch, but you aren't slowing down fast enough!
Both of your doubles look desperately at the immense control panel, trying to find the speed control and engine shut-off. Mb7 spots them, side by side, on a melted panel. A nearby working computer console with keyboard, showing track condition and other Mag-Lev terminals, gives you your only option, and Mb7 steps up to try to activate the engine shut-down command through hacking directly into the train processor.
Mb7 and Mb8 work together. Both have maximum of +4 to powers, skill ranks and ability modifiers, giving them +8 to their computer check. Mb8 helps Mb7 successfully, and their computer check is 19. They fail to get past the high tech encryption codes in place to prevent just this sort of thing from happening.
Mb8 estimates they have about 10 seconds to shut down the engine before it will be too late. One more attempt. Mb8 sees Cosmo's arms and hands are, quite literally, on fire, though he doggedly refuses to release the brake.
Cosmo is obviously badly hurt. He uses a hero point to boost his strength enough to move the heavy beam. He takes a lethal hit to his hands doing so, as the beam is intensely hot. He takes a further lethal hit grabbing and pulling the brake, and is now on fire.
Speed Demon and Loki are up. Maps are updated.

Now that Speed Demon has his mojo back, he dashes down the aisle after the Steward and Stewardess that are fleeing into the adjoining cars.
As tempting as it is to Mach One Punch someone on the way past, he will resist the urge and instead move 140'. I remember them shooting a reporter as they try and run away but I cant seem to find the post anymore.

Loki rushes over to where Grandmother was sitting with Pooky. Seeing the carnage, he frantically tries to dig them out of the wreckage.
OOC: I assume that Loki is giving up his cover. He will use a hero point for extra effort if he needs to boost his strength in order to dig out Grandmother and Pooky.

That is now up (two of my posts back) where it should be.Calinon said:

In The Train
OOC: Ok, but you didn't see them leave. You were flipping away from an explosion and have no line of sight to them. That being said, I'll let you see them and do your action because I can be a bit sarcastic and this will really help me use your weakness against you.Elementor said:
Vincent, ignoring the moans of agony from nearby injured and possibly dying people and ignoring the smoking cockpit and people he saw go inside, dashes by the soldier who is continuing to pump bullets at the students blindly, and goes by Dara who is ineffectively trying to stem the flow of blood from the critically injured student who lies in a pool of his own blood. Rapid scolding and anger, spoken in a language sounding oriental, rings through his ears. He ignores the three leaders and the battle for the case, flies by the two soldiers shooting Michelle and soars down the rest of the train, past a stunned Raisa only to find the door through which the stewards left, locked! He fights to open the door, finally giving a huge heave and breaking the lock.
Half action move, free action teasing and mockery (way to look like a monster! go weakness!), half action opening the locked door (locked from outside) with a 19 strength check to break the lock and open the door. You have super-speed sustained.
The door opens up and a metal monstrosity of a robot steps from the left, coming to stand infront of Speed Demon. A smaller, familiar, MK192 is standing in the doorway to the next car, weapon trained on those within, keeping them back. The massive robot in front of Speed Demon growls.
Think robot from Judge Dread. The robot is easily eight feet tall. One arm is a massive cyclic cannon. The other is a massive crushing hand. The MK192 is just like the others. Both have been inserted into the initiative order.
Loki rolls away from the blinded, shooting soldier, running to the front, and starts to dig Grandmother and her dog out of the rubble. He can see them both under the rubble and both appear to be breathing, though the smoke can't be good for them.
Half action to stand, half action to move. You can start digging them out next round and it should take a full round to clear enough rubble to get them out. You also notice (spot 17) a stream of blood coming from the ruin of the car on the other side under a huge pile of rubble where the ceiling collapsed.
The Leader with the case steps backwards directly into the original Leader. The case vanishes with him.
The Leader with the swords hurls a sword over his other duplicate's shoulder, striking Jackal in the throat where the blade is buried up to the handle. Jackal gurgles and collapses, shifting back to human form as he falls, blood pooling about him rapidly. That Leader then says, "Six, coming at you," and a beam of energy leaves him and races up the stairs. In a moment he's gone.
The Leader pinned by Straightjacket starts laughing maniacally. Straightjacket, from your close proximity you hear a female computerized voice saying this: "Ten, Nine, Eight..."
The Leader who had the cannon rapidly draws his gun while grinning coldly and clicking a button on his belt. "You wanted a bang, you get a bang, brother," he says to his headset before shooting Neutron.
Case bearing leader is absorbed by the original. Original throws his sword at Jackal, scoring a critical hit. Jackal fails his save badly. He is dying. Cannonic leader activates "something" and shoots Neutron with a standard blaster, hitting.
Neutron gets a save against reduced DC and scores a 18. (Do you want to re-roll?)
The murderous leader cackles as the countdown begins, not even attempting to escape the tight pin.
Michelle struggles to clear her head after being shot with the stun blaster. Her force field has winked out of existance.
Michelle has no actions this round due to being stunned. Since she has no actions, she cannot maintain her powers.
Amazon staggers, her body going numb. She struggles and comes out of it, though still feels sluggish.
Amazon gets another Fortitude save to shake off the effects of the stun power, this time at +1. She scores a 29 and can act normally, but all actions this round have a minor penalty.
The entire train gives another jolt as further brakes are applied, slowing the train more. Sparks fly up past the windows and the entire underside of the train is vibrating.
In The Cab
Cosmo reefs on the brake again, putting it full on and locking it in place before collapsing against the wall.
Cosmo suffers yet more injuries, becoming disabled, but locks out the brake. His condition worsens to dying.
Amazon, X12 and his pet med-bot are up next. Maps will get updated tonight again.
