"That punk is cheating! I knew something was up." Vince pipes up loud enough to direct attention to the electronic device being used by Matthew to tap Randall's headset. "And your helping him too eh?" Vince grabs the scrawny kid that is trying to peel off Loki's patch and knocks his hands away from the patch, "So what do you have to say for yourself?"

Vincent and Randall (Dara and Tara)
Vincent's tactic works and a small horde of kids jump Matthew, prying his power draining gadget from his hands. It falls to the ground and is promptly stomped on, breaking it. The weasly kid behind Randall is backpedalling, squealing "Don't let the goat-boy eat me!"
With no opponent controlling the opposing space fighter, Randall wtfpwns it, winning the game. The crowd of kids cheers and someone grabs Matthew's wallet and starts handing out winnings. Kids are still shoving him around, calling him a cheater and heckling him. But most of them are way smaller than he is.
He gets up and shoves them away, grabbing his wallet. "I'll get you all for this," he says, trying to sound tough. A small crowd of girls, all clothed in EPIC school uniforms, are gathered by the door. One of them steps up behind Matthew and takes off her long jacket revealing her extra set of insectoid arms and her wings.
"Mmmm. A cheater. And I haven't eaten in hours," Tara says, spinning Matthew around and picking him up easily, her insect arms gripping him under is arms. She opens her mouth and starts slowly, dramatically, lowering Matthew towards it. Despite the fact her mouth is completely normal, he starts screaming, "Let me go! Let me go!"
Dara, standing in the crowd, projects a loud, "Oh my god! She's going to eat another one! I can't look!" into everyone's head. The crowd of kids let out an "ooooo" and stare in amazement. Matthew goes limp, the front and back of his pants growing dark with wetness.
"Ewwwwww!" Tara exclaims, dropping the passed out bully into a puddle of his own urine and stepping away with a look that pretty much says "Ewwwwww!" by itself.
And the crowd of kids goes wild. It dies down soon enough though, as the arcade owner thunders over. "Hey, what's going on here! All you kids, get out of here! I don't want no trouble in my place!" he says as he shoes you out into the food court.
As the mob of kids surround the EPIC students and pester them with questions and laugh about how they put Matthew in his place, Randall feels someone tugging at the patch on the back of his neck. "Let me get this off you," the girl who gave him the patch says as she removes it. She puts the patch in her backpack and pulls out a marker. She grabs Randall's hand and writes something on it. "I'm Monica," she says, then looks over at the exit to the mall and lets out a squeak and runs off. "Gotta go! Talk to you later!"
Randall looks at his hand to see an e-mail address.
Johan and Kevin
You enter the restaurant, but Miss Toan asks you to wait near the door. "I just have to let my partner know you'll be helping us, and my client too. He's a bit edgy and she's a bit paranoid about this whole ordeal." She walks over, and her walk makes you both look at each other and back to her and think, "Damn!" After a brief conversation, she gets her partner, a large caucasian man, to nod in agreement. Her client says nothing, but Miss Toan talks softly to her and finally she agrees.
She waves you over and you head towards their table.
Raisa, Michelle and Carl
Carl finishes some notes on a pad of paper and catches up with you. He points to an extremely high priced clothing outlet called "Davinci's". You stand in front of their windows, mouths agape, at both the fine outfits they have and the fact that the lowest price you can see from outside is nearly $1,000.
"We can get you something decent in here. They always have tailors on hand too, so getting something in your size shouldn't be hard to do, Raisa," Carl says.
John, X12 and Neutron
Sanjay gets up and follows you both out. "Holy boring flick!" he exclaims as he exits the theatre. "What's the plan now?"
X12 looks over to the right and sees three men about sixty feet away, dressed nearly identically, standing near another theatre entrance. Nobody else is in the hall, and it looks like two of them were the guys that entered your theatre. Two enter the theatre, and the remaining one leans up against the wall, in the shadows.
He's dressed in some sort of body armor similar to standard police body armor. He has a headset on that has both an in-ear earpiece, small microphone and what appears to be some sort of lenses. You can't make out his features from here.
He looks left, then right and spots you. He appears startled and lets out a curse. "They followed us out," he says into his microphone. "Three of them." He has a british accent. He steps out from the wall and starts walking towards you. "Looks like the robot thief, that wressler and, hey," he says. He's now within forty feet and steps under a light.
It's the mutant from the mag-lev.
"It's the little bastard that torched my head," he finishes as he pulls out a rifle and takes aim at Neutron.
Vincent, Randall, Dara and Tara
Blaster fire sounds from outside the food court. You see trio of police officers in body armor exit a bank and start firing stun blasters at a quartet of oriental gang members. As the shots ring out, the gang members pull weapons of their own and return fire. Six oriental youths, dressed similarly to the gang members in the gun battle, get up from their seats in the food court and start running towards the incident. They appear to all have guns or swords.
Two of the four gang members are hit and go down, yellow energy surrounding their bodies. The police are hit several times by autofire rounds, but their armor seems to generally protect them.
People are screaming and running in a panic as the gunfire continues. You are about 150 feet away, and movement will be hampered by the stampeding crowd coming towards you.
Raisa, Michelle and Carl
You are about to enter the third floor shop when you hear blaster and weapon fire down the mall towards the food court. You look over the nearby railing and see a trio of police officers exit a bank, engaging in a gun battle with oriental gang members. The cops appear to be using stun blasters and the kids automatic blasters.
You see six gang members run past you two stories down (45 feet down), towards the gun battle (not the same as the ones in the food court). You are 45 feet up and a hundred and fifty feet away in a direct line. Taking the nearest stairs would take about three hundred feet in movement.
Johan and Kevin
You've barely taken a step when you hear the click of boots on tile behind you. At the same moment, you hear the rat-a-tat of automatic gunfire a short distance away. You turn and two men and a woman walk casually into the restaurant. They are in full body armor (no helmet) and wear headgear with in-ear earpieces, microphones and goggles. The men are the mutant from the mag-lev, and the woman looks just like them, only female. One man is pulling out a pair of swords, one has a hand blaster with several grenades at his hip and the woman has no weapon you can discern.
"Well, well, look who we have here," the man in the middle says. "The battle-suit boy and the kid with a divergent personality."
"Split," Miss Toan says in surprise behind you. "I didn't think it would be you."
"Hand over the woman, and nobody gets hurt," the female version of Split says.
The kitchen door opens and another Split walks out. In a french accent he says, "Or we could just hurt people." He shoots Toan's partner in the back and he collapses over the table. "And down goes Mr. Murphy," he says, grinning. The woman screams.
Johan has himself and two full power duplicates currently. The surprise round is done.

"Who wants to bet that I am on the evening news tonight as a bank robber? Oh well, the adrenaline junkie is on the way! Thanks for the illusion Loki but it's time to get grounded to the school again." Vince smirks back at Loki and the girls as he powers up his superspeed and moves to intercept the 6 gang members in the food court. "Didn't your mothers teach you not to run with knives?" he shouts towards the half dozen orientals moving towards the bank.

X12 places himself between Split and Neutron. "I'll cover you the best way I know how. As soon as we can, work your metallic change, or head for a pillar, or something, so we can both get out of the line of fire," he says to Neutron, cocking his head towards the nearest nonliving cover.
OOC -- I want to position myself in such a manner to provide Neutron with the best possible cover bonus against Split's fire.

"Ah, um, see you!" Randall blurts out meekly as Monica darts away. Randall looks at his hand, "cool."

All thoughts of video games and girls are quickly driven away. Seeing Vince super speed right into the middle of the fray, Randall does what he can. He will stand on the nearest table (or bench, whatever) for a better view. Loki will then create the illusion of a giant swarm of bees that will swoop down on the bank entrance, harassing ALL the gun fight participants. Loki will make the illusion so it doesn't affect Vince, or any other of the EPIC students (that he knows of that are close by).
OOC: Loki is using an area illusion for his swam of bees. I can't remember how big an area he can do, you'll have to fill that in Calinon.
