Michelle pours on the speed, zipping eighty feet down the hall. Coming to a halt in mid-air, she launges a blast of magnetic force at Split from around a hundred feet away. The blast whips one of the ropes lowering through the ceiling around wildly, but Split ducks down and the blast sails over his head, slamming into the wall of an A&W kiosk, cracking the wood.
Extra effort for double movement. HP for fatigue. Attack roll is an 8 (6+4-2) and misses.
Amazon gathers some of her items together, finding her wallet relatively intact, but her walkman and disks are toast. She finds her gift for Sanchez amazingly in tact. Her backpack is ruined.
Everyone in the area hears a shout and sees Empath, now dressed in her familiar, body-hugging, red, blue and white leather combat suit, leap from the third floor balcony. She catches a rope on the way down, swinging in a circle as she rapidly descends, and releases, flying out with the release to land a kick on Split. Split staggers but doesn't go down, and Empath ends up standing infront of the two bad guys.
Empath dives down recklessly, kicking Split hard in the chest (24 hits). Split staggers from the blow but doesn't fall (14 save), taking 1 stun hit.
Johan steps out of the restaurant, grabbing his shopping on the way, and sees Split and his counterpart down the hall just as Empath kicks him in the chest. As he passes Cosmo, he hears Cosmo say "Oh crap," and he moves towards Jackal cautiously.
Mia Toan tosses something to the ground at her feet and calls to Kevin, "My card is here, give me a call if you aren't coming! But if you are, get a move on!" She bolts out the kitchen and you hear a door slam open shortly after.
Stealer steps outside, and sees Split in combat with Empath. He duplicates again, and a version of him steps out, armed with two Blasters. "What's the deal, hoss? Who do I shoot?" he asks in a strong texan accent.
Stealer's other double cackles. "Hell yeah! Lets make some carnage!" He steps outside, lines up a shopkeeper and pulls the trigger, shouting, "Look out! He's comin' right at me!" The tank-buster beam rips through the shop front, missing the store owner, and the maniac Stealer has a hard time controlling the gun. The continuous beam lances up as he staggers around, collapsing a huge portion of the second story walkway.
"Hey, Tex, shoot the bad guys!" the texan Stealer says.
"What? Oh, he wasn't one? My bad! Which way do I shoot?" he asks, showing absolutely no remorse, but looking around for some direction.
Tank-Buster rolls a 6 to hit, causing no harm to the shopkeeper but massive structural damage.
Stealer vanishes, as does his tank-buster weildling counterpart.
"Cool!" the invisible maniac exclaims. "They'll never see it coming now!'
Tara leaps into the air and charges the cop that shot at her. She slashes out with her insect arms but misses.
Attack roll of 11 misses.
The cop by Tara retreats to the ropes, attaching one to a harness on her body armor before taking another shot at her. The yellow stun beam strkes her in the chest and a yellow glow encompasses her, holding her in place.
Attack roll of 21. Tara will re-roll a save less than 16. 4 is re-rolled and result is a natural 1, becomes a 12 and fails. She is stunned.
The other cop drops a smoke grenade and runs for the ropes, attaching one to a harness on his body armor. The smoke grenade is only partially effective.
The grey squares show where the grenade affects. Cop made successful spot check (19) to find his way out of the smoke in the right spot. All it does is block line of sight in the affected squares, up to 20' high. For example, Michelle can see the male cop and Split, but not the female one right now.
Carl runs up, charging towards the battle. "Move it Raisa! Empath is trying to stop them!"
Dara snaps out of her daze seeing Empath there, and clenches her fists at her side. Her eyes glow brightly white, and a blast of energy bursts from the center of her forehead and hits the female cop. The cop screams and goes limp, but her harness keeps her firmly attached to the rope.
Dara hits with a 24! The cop re-rolls if she gets a 15 or lower. She gets a 13, re-rolls and gets lower, 13 stands. She is knocked unconscious.
None of the gang-members break the power stun. The one gang member who has been faking being stunned, jumps up and runs into a nearby shop, vanishing within. In the hallway, the thug gives a final shudder and falls motionless, staring up at Vince with lifeless eyes. His bandana slumps off and Vince gets a good look at the kid, who looks 12-14 years old.
Theatre Fight
X12, recovered from the punch he took, calls out his idea and charges down the hall. He gets to the main lobby of the Theatre (with the snack stands and full of people) without hitting anything. To his side, Straightjacket emerges, finally able to stand fully erect, towering over everyone. Neutron's blast draws the most attention, slamming into the wall before he comes around the corner.
None of you bump into, run over, or spot Split.
The crowd sees you, especially Straightjacket, and start to crowd around, poking and pawing at you as they ask you what's going on and what your powers are. It becomes obvious to you that the sounds you made in combat were mistaken for movie sounds. With the crowd gathered around, Straightjacket spots Split outside, well beyond the doors. He waves at you, then vanishes again.
This Split has escaped. And Straightjacket's pants have a big hole in the leg.
