Raisa staggers from the power of the bullets impacting her. The first bullet slams her chest, ruining her shirt and dropping as a rather heavy slug to the ground. A second hits her hip, tearing along the skin and leaving a bleeding gouge.

Raisa makes her save once and fails one, taking one lethal hit.

Dexterity checks (DC10) to avoid being prone and thrown towards the front 10 feet or until you hit an object: Straightjacket 9

Straightjacket gets up, unhurt from his slide towards the front of the train, and moves towards the leader, stretching around to try to grapple him.

I forgot to add prone to your condition after updating yesterday, but you are. Standing (free action), Move (half action), Attack (half action). Attack roll is an 12 (my number generators favorite number in the freaking world), becoming an 19 score, and the leader avoids your grapple.

The Leader watches John come at him out of the corner of his eye. Without moving, he manages to shove out with his free hand, and John ends up going over him, ending up directly behind the Leader. "Hah, Amateur!" he laughs out.

The Leader has full cover from anyone behind John directly or towards the top of the map. He has 1/4 cover from X12 from his front.

Next up is Stealer and Multibrain are up next. Carl needs to get up and get in position and Dara will continue helping students.

 

[Dalamar]

The duplicate in the cockpit will move to help Cosmo, first removing the bracelet limiting his powers, then the metal thingy that pierced his arm.

The ones still in the passenger area start helping Loki while the real Johan turns to where the massive robot is.
"Unless I am completely mistaken, so far Carl has fared the best against the colossus, I'd suggest the rest of you concentrate on keeping him standing and a safe distance from it."

Carl stands up and lets loose a blast of vibrating energy. The blast rips through Raisa before blasting into the robot!

Carl uses his disintigration power. It doesn't affect flesh, though most of Raisa's top is shredded. For decency, her underclothes make their save easily. Raisa is a little queesy, but otherwise none the worse for wear. The wave of energy continues on, striking the robot. The robot fails its save, uses a villain point and makes it.

The robot staggers back a few inches before stopping its movement. It's hand arm starts changing form until a silver morning star dangles where the hand was. It starts spinning it rapidly. The robot is looking up at the ceiling, its eyes glowing.

"New target recognized as alpha threat. EPIC member target is...."

That's as far as the robot gets as you hear an explosion of metal and then the celing rips apart as something streaks through the roof and into the robot. The robot is slammed backwards ten feet, stopping itself at the doorway with its gun arm. A huge piece of its chest plating is crushed inward. Standing where the robot was is a spanish man you all recognize.

"Creo la palabra que usted buscan, amigo, es Titán," says the amazingly good looking, and easily recognizable super-hero, Titan. He's dressed in his trademark silver and white body-suit with flowing cape. The cape has his name emblazoned on it.

Translation: I believe the name you are looking for, amigo, is Titan."

"You have done well, los jóvenes (translation: youngsters), but now let Titan tip the odds in your favor, shall we?" he says to those nearby.

"Internal systems damaged. Damage repair beginning," drones the robot.

"You can try, robot, but I think your chance of success is waning," Titan says, a smirk on his face as he flies at the robot, punching through the chest casing of the robot, shattering it the casing.

Titan's first attack hits, damaging the robot and knocking it back. He finishes his move and with heroic surge strikes the robot again, damaging it further. The robot's internal workings in its chest are now visible. Titan is flying a foot off the ground and is right in front of the robot.

Johan's duplicates help Loki continue to dig people out, stabilize students and generally check on folks. Dara is trying to do more of the same, but appears very shaken. In fact, anyone getting within five feet of her gets a blinding headache and feels a strong urge to break into tears, crying. On the floor, Jackal's wounds close fully.

In The Cab
The train slows down rapidly and manages to come to a grinding halt midway through the turn without flying off the track. Johan's duplicate kneels next to Cosmo, breaking off the bracelet and considers pulling the 18 inch shard of metal from Cosmo's forearm, but knowledge dictates that leaving it in will probably be much safer as it could be piercing something important.

Johan makes his medicine check with an 18. Pulling out metal would be bad! Best to let a doctor or X12 do that.

With that handled, he takes the opportunity to grab the fire extinguisher and put out the blaze still smoldering in the cockpit, and succeeds!

Stealer can still go, then Neutron. Then its round four (cleanup round).

 

[Agamon]

His head finally clearing, Sanjay, more than a bit peeved, moves out into the isle to get a clear shot at the leader. "You son-of-a-bitch!" he spits as he raises his hand and unleashes another blast of bright energy at the jerkwad.

Move around the chairs, to just north of Jackel and X-12 (1/2 action); Energy Blast +7 (1/2 action), HP to reroll if attack roll is less than 12.

 

[Elementor]

If the ABC still has any life in it at all, Speed Demon will once again use a Mach One Punch on it. Speed Demon is careful not to get in Titans way as he continues his attack.

If the ABC is out of commission, Vince will instead move up to the remaining robot and engage it while focusing his Dodge skill on it as a single target (an additional +1 Defense).

Powers: Superspeed maintained. Mach One Punch is being used on one robot or the other.

Neutron leaps out, energy rippling about his arm, screaming at the Leader. The blast is powerful, but the Leader leans back just enough with his Torso to avoid the blast, though the doors are completely blown off the train.

Attack roll gets a 15! No hero point spent. However, you're firing into combat (-4) and he has 1/4 cover from there (+2 to defense) and you miss. I think you made a friend, lucky you!

"Hey, you aren't dead! But don't .. you worry, no matter what .. happens here, I'll be back .. for you, guaran-damn-teed!" he replies, though he is sweating profusely and seems to have lost a little of his balance.

Next up is Stealer, but I'll continue tonight if he hasn't posted by the time I go to bed.

Vince punches out again at the damaged robot, striking it under its gun arm. The robot doesn't so much as dent. He has to be careful as the giant silver morning star is whirling around, trying to hit Titan.

Vince hits the robot with a 20, however, the robot makes its damage save.

Loki, with the help of the Johan's, continues to dig injured and dazed people from the rubble. The smoke is beginning to disappate out the shattered windows now that the fire appears to be out.

The Leader squeezes off a pair of shots at X12. Not willing to go down that easily, X12 dodges to the right, taking a second bullet in the shoulder and one in the forearm. The pain is, oddly enough, intense, and you find yourself looking at your bleeding forearm with amazement as the wound shows no sign of closing.

The leader hits X12 with both shots. X12 gets a 18 and a 9 on his saves. He does use a hero point to re-roll the 9 and gets a 14. He takes two lethal hits and is stunned.

The leader says, "Hah, I... got... aw crap..." and collapses unconscious. His body shimmers and vanishes. The cannon he had been wielding earlier remains behind, broken.

In the back of the train, Michelle tries again to lift the robot to hurl him out of the train, and enteres into another test of strength with the unwilling robot. It's air jets fire forcefully, keeping it on the ground.

Michelle hits easily, with a 21, then scores a 24 on the opposed power vs strength check. The robot ends up with a 26, staying on the ground.

Amazon is up, then the evil scary robot because X12 is stunned.

 

[Agamon]

With the leader gone, Sanjay turns his attention to the helping those trapped by debris by disintegrating as much of the rubble as he can.

The pain is, oddly enough, intense, and you find yourself looking at your bleeding forearm with amazement as the wound shows no sign of closing.

"Uuuhhh... don't remember it hurting this bad... why is it not closing..." X12 mumbles, going down to one knee.
