Stealer jumps over the seat and manages to touch the leader on the face. The leader spins around, knocking his hand away, but Stealer can't activate his powers to copy the leader at all.
Stealer scores a hit on a touch attack; no effect as he has no powers currently.
Johan stands up and suddenly duplicates seem to pour from his body. There are now nine of him. Three of him scatter behind seats and under them, while six of him leap at the nearby leaders in teams of three.
The three attacking Leader 2 nearly get a hold of the man, but he drops to the floor, executing a roundhouse leg sweep, knocking all three doubles down! The other three make it up to the first Leader, but don't have the action to attack due to the difficulty of moving over objects. The leader is flanked however. Hero point used to counter fatigue for extra effort of "Horde" extra leaving no hero points left for other rolls this round.
Neutron stands on his seat and levels an energy blast from his hands at the Leader that is beside Stealer. The blast strikes him in the face and he lets out a scream that's cut short as he falls to his knees and collapses backwards, the flesh burned from his skull. He vanishes, leaving only some ashes behind.
Hey, the second natural 20 of the round. Needless to say, he failed his save.
As he collapses, two more of him come down the stairs, one has a glowing sword in hand and advances at Stealer, while the other has some sort of portable cannon system that looks like it could take out a tank and is eying Neutron up. He spits on the ground between them.
"Oh, it's on now," he says in a heavy New York accent.
"So true, companion," the other says, his swords splitting in to two identical ones. His voice bears a strong hint of the orient.
In the meantime, X12 has recovered from his latest... whatever is happening to him... and the robot answers him. "Directive 12 orders assimilated." It turns towards the soldier with the case, who has enough presence of mind to pull his gun as the robot grabs the case. The case hits the floor.
Up front you hear the leader shout, "Get the case!" and the oriental sounding leader pauses his advance long enough to click something at his belt and say, "Extraction required, now."
Carl looks at the case and you hear a low sound rising in intensity to painful levels. Those looking see a sonic energy coming from Carl's mouth. It strikes the vials in the case. The vials shatter, soaking the interior and the strange sensor. X12, MM and Carl notice the sensor light change from red to blue to green and a computer voice says, "Match found."
Johan, to the side of the jet, one of your doubles sees a pair of helicopters streaking towards the Mag-Lev. The double near the door of the cockpit glances forward to see a rather sharp corner in the track a few miles up. Your knowledge of mathematics and physics, coupled with a quick estimation of the speed of the train, lead you to believe either the train has the most magnetic undercarriage known to man, or bad things are going to happen when you reach the corner.
Dara hears Neutron, grabs her bracelet and manages to slip it off her wrist. A bolt of white light streaks from her forehead and strikes the robot battling Amazon, to no effect.
