Initiative: Pooky 24; Cosmo 19; Neutron 19; Straightjacket 18; Stealer 17; MM 16; Rebound 12; Jackal 11; Amazon 10; X12 5 (KO)
Cosmo stands up and beams of black energy once more shoot from his eyes, striking Straightjacket in the chest. Straightjacket shrinks down to normal size again as he advances on Jackal. The wressler completely ignores the illusionary Jackal, passing through it as if it isn't even there and throws an arm around Jackal's neck, pulling Jackals arm behind him in a nasty elbow lock. Though Jackal struggles, he doesn't manage to escape the hold.
OOC: Cosmo neutralizes Straighjacket's powers thinking it will eliminate the threat (SJ's save score was 13). Straighjacket's training allows him to get a good hold of Jackal (attack score 25), and despite Jackals size and obvious greater strength, the wolf boy can't break free (Grapple check SJ 18, Jackal 16)
The lights around the combatants dims, creating a shadow in a fifteen foot radius around Jackal as the lights above him are snuffed out. You all hear Grandmother rap her cane once on the ground and she says, "Cease!" She stands and hobbles over towards everyone.
"Let him go John. I am impressed that you managed to maintain your focus despite Cosmo neutralizing your power and didn't try to hurt him. And it was more a test, John, not a game. I was curious to see if anyone had any leadership qualities. Jackal," she says, patting th boy on his arm. "That was a clever way of waking your brother up, though I distinctly remember saying no claws," she scolds Jackal, now back in human form.
"I didn't even scratch him," Jackal mumbles.
"Michelle is lucky you had the sense to take some action before she was harmed, Cosmo. But that does not excuse putting a fellow student in mortal danger!" She glares at Cosmo, and though he says no appology, he has the common sense to look away a bit embarassed after a few long and awkward moments.
"Yah, you idiot, I coulda bee..." starts Rebound.
"And you, Mister Burton," Grandmother says angrily, "had better control that temper of yours in the future. Kevin, return the lighting to its normal level please." As he does so, a female computerized voice comes over the speaker system.
"Mag-Lev arriving at Terminal F in three minutes. Mag-Lev arriving at Terminal F in three minutes."
Grandmother looks up at John and says, "John dear, could you go find Michelle and Pooky for me? Kevin; gather the rest of the students and have them pair up for the trip please. Sanjay; clean up your wall and put the table and chairs back, using your powers only," she says with a slight grin. "Raisa, lay X12 on that bench until he comes around. Jackal, you'll stay with me, and you two," she says to Cosmo and Rebound, "are not leaving my sight. Consider yourselves 'buddies.'"
"Aw man," they say in unison, looking none too pleased.
OOC: X12, you come to as Raisa puts you on the bench. Everyone can pick a travel partner, first come first serve, or can just get a random one if you want.
X12's empathic healing cause him to take a stun hit, and fall unconscious. You can use a hero point to make an immediate check to recover from unconsciousness, and if successful you'd just be dazed (-2 to all actions) and would go before Neutron. Um... forget if... you automatically would make it (+9 to the roll on DC 10).
