Epic M&M: Issue 3 (IC)

"Empath is very good at it. It's how she got Trailblazer to stop smoking," Merlin says.

You look through the record, but other than her face, which you think is very familiar and maybe the face in your halucination, nothing leaps to memory.

Breep. It's the sound of a communicator activating.

"Jun Po to Trailblazer! I need you in the pool, now! Vincent get down! NOW!"

CRASH! Breep.

Breep. "On it ma'am!" Breep.


"What the heck," Thunder says, quickly cycling through cameras to find the poolside ones.

"Jackal is going to try to kill Jun Po," Merlin says, a green glow in his eyes.

Thunder finds the camera's. You see Jackal's back. He's mammoth, nearly roof height in the corridor leading from the pool. You see him swing ponderously, then jab out with his other hand, and catch a brief glimpse of Vincent as he...

Pool
Vincent punches Jackal with all his power behind it. It's like punching a steel wall, and other than a very slight release of breath, it doesn't look like it hurt him in the least. Vince wisely drops to the floor.

"Keeeeeya!"

The door frame, complete with doors, seperates from the wall and spins a hairs width of Vincent's head as he drops to the floor. Metal frame and doors slam into Jackal, knocking him backward about five feet to the entrance of the tunnel. She follows up with a kick into the frame before it can fall to the floor, shoving Jackal backwards again out of the tunnel ten feet. She comes to a halt just outside the tunnel.

"Whatever you think you are doing, you will cease this instant," she says with remarkable calm to Jackal.

The response is not what you expect. The door frame does not drop. You see two massive clawed hands on either side and a groan of metal. The glass pops out of the windows, shattered, and the metal is compressed. Jackal tosses the doors behind him with seeminly little effort, and they splash into the pool. He lets out a snarl and... grows another two feet, gaining mass as well. Blood trickles from his snout and front of his mouth. His claws flick out.

He charges Jun Po with a feral roar, slashing out. She bends nearly horizontal to avoid having her chest torn open and rolls through his legs. She comes up immediately, only to take a slash across her back that tears through her robe and sends a misty spray of blood into the air. She flies forward from the blow, catching hold of the ladder railing that leads from the pool, stopping her momentum and swinging about to land on her feet at the poolside. The upper half of her robe falls to her waist and she simply shrugs it off, kickinig it into the pool, without a word.

You see her muscles twitch slightly and you swear she grows a few inches as she drops into an attack posture, blood running down her legs to gather at her feet.

A streak blurs by you as Trailblazer tears past. He seems to spin out, sliding towards Jackal, one leg extended, spinning wildly and super fast. His leg takes Jackal in the back of the knees, lifting him off his feet to crash down on his back. He continues his movement across the surface of the water, ending up on the far side of the pool. You see he looks like he just woke up, and is dressed in nothing but boxers.

Guess that answers that question...

An alarm sounds. Trailblazer and Jun Po exchange glances. "Just go. Vincent and I will handle this," Jun Po says. Trailblazer bursts back out of the area.

Condition: Vincent 2S, Jun Po 1L, Jackal 1S (prone, regenerated 1S)

War Room
"Sweet Mary mother of god," Mendez says, mouth agape. "Lookit' the size of him."

"Merlin, get a portal going and take X12 to..."

An alarm sounds. A voice comes over the speaker system.

"EPIC come in! This is general Kenji Nomasu. Anarchy agents have attacked our army headquarters! The ALF Elite has been nearly destroyed! They are cutting through our defenses! We need your help! EPIC! Come in!"

"It never rains..." says Thunder.

"Signal authenticated," Merlin says from across the room. You never even saw him move. Thunder takes a very short look at the screen and hits the alarm to scramble the EPIC members.

"Mendez, take care of things here please. Merlin, lets roll!" Thunder says, bursting into the air with an electrical force that stands your hair on end, and flying out of the room without another word, Merlin in tow.

"Let's get to the pool, kid," Mendez says, moving with surprising speed.

Workshop
An alarm sounds. Sanchez looks up, then quite literally runs for the nearby hanger, leaving everyone looking at her, stunned.

Mess Hall
John lets go of Dara, turning her over to Raisa and heading for the door.

"I was just getting comfy too," Dara complains as she is unwound from John.

An alarm sounds. "John, Michelle... work this out!" Titan exclaims and then bursts out of the room, leaving you all standing there, befuddled.

Heading to the Pool
It's dark and you can hear the sounds of battle coming from ahead. You'd like to speed up but in the darkness, it would probably be a bad idea.

Randall is heading to the pool, balls of light in tow.
 

"Nunca um momento obtuso(Translation: Never a dull moment)," Raisa mutters. "Stick around John, I think I'm gonna need your help with this. Watch her, will you?" She gently pushes Dara back toward John. Now be a good girl.

She walks over to Carl, shaking her head. "I don't know what you said to set her off, meu amigo," Raisa bends and lifts Carl onto her shoulders into a fireman's carry, "but I wouldn't do it again." (With the Super Lifting Stunt, I'm assuming this would be a pretty simple feat for her.)

Holding the boy in place with one arm she picks up an apple as she steps over the shattered buffet table. She takes a bite and starts towards the infirmary. "John, be a doll and bring her with you? I'm assuming whatever called Titan away rather abruptly has also called Empath away. We'll keep her at the Infirmary until they get back."

As she passes Michelle she puts her free arm around her shoulder and smiles. "We'll let the other's have their playtime with whatever's got everyone's panties in a knot. You and me... we've got some catching up to do, menina, and you can start by dishing what happened at the hospital. You get to see that Doctor again? You know, the hot one, Thunder's brother?"

"Thanks for joining us, Lite Brite. Now let's go take out whoever would dare attack our swimming pool," Sanjay says, picking up his pace.
 

Following quickly behind Mendez, X12 starts thinking about a means to stop Jackal. "We need Cosmo -- or a cattleprod. Cosmo might be able to calm his brother, or the prod might just make him groggy enough to be subdued; I'd rather not have to fight him in any case."

OOC: John is gone

She gently grabs hold of Dara from John and leans over and grabs a piece of fruit that is still clean, Michelle watches as Raisa picks up and fireman carries Carl and she heads towards the infirmary.

"Oh no, you spill first. What's going on here? What happened yesterday? That reminds me, I'm stilled mad at you for ditching me at the mall and where are my new clothes? The sales lady said you picked them up."

Randall and Sanjay
Cosmo is running, driving you both to move faster. "Jackal hasn't been his normal cheerful self," he says. You can't tell if he's joking or not. "Been really grouchy and touchy. Kinda spooks me."

You reach the corner where you can turn to the pool. You see the hall is dark that way too, though some fire and emergency lights are lighting up the pool area. The door appears... gone. You hear roaring from down there. A blur races by as Trailblazer heads straight at you, then wraps his run around the wall, passing you without a word, probably responding to the alarm.

Mess Hall
OOC back at you: He was leaving, but has been ordered to keep the peace between the ladies and Carl. Up to him if he listens, not us.

Free of John's grasp, Dara stands about innocently. If she hears Raisa, she gives no indication. She's humming a little tuneless song. "Oh, no, I'm fine. No need to hold me," she says innocently. Not that I mind. He's kinda soft. Not too bright though. Now where's that skillet. She tries to nonchalantly make her way over to the buffet stand. It's not working well. She whines when Michelle grabs her arm.

"Hey, leggo! What am I, some Brazilian Pull-Toy? I'll have you know I could whup anyone in my home town, chica, and I can whup you! Ohh, last night? That's easy! Carl's slimy buddies came calling and said stuff like 'Yo, Carl, go rough dese guys up and whack Tommy G,' and Carl's all like 'Yo, ok,' and tries to ditch me but I wasn't having none of that noway. So we get in this car with this cutie Antonio and he was staring at me the whole time till he let us out. Then we went and roughed up this dude Matty and got jumped later by some of Tommy G's thugs. It's amazing how much a grown man will cry when you step on his family jewels. Like pulling on a cat's tail. Rooooooowwwwwww! Pathetic!" She takes a deep breath, ready to jump into the next part of the story, fully out of breath from that one long oration.

Pool
OOC: We is back at Vince... do be do be doo.

Randall will send a light globe down the hallway, towards the roaring noise.

"Last one there's a rotten egg, Chrome Dome!" says Loki as he dashes down the hallway.

She takes a deep breath, ready to jump into the next part of the story, fully out of breath from that one long oration.

"That is SO not how it happened!" Raisa growls as they walk through the dark corridors, able to see only because of the emergency lights. "And Antonio was seriously not cute! Okay... Maybe a little, but he was like, OLD! Thirty-something at least."

She sighs. "Believe me, Michelle, you did not want to be there with us last night. Detective Mendez kicked both of us off the team - which I never knew we were on in the first place - and I doubt we'll be back on anytime soon if at all. We never meant to ditch you, but it was probably for the best. As for your things, yea I picked them up. Unfortunately, they got left in the back seat of Antonio's car along with the rest of my stuff too. When Carl's in a condition to, we'll have him give the jerk a call and get it back. If not, I'll replace it all I promise."
 

Springing towards the prone wolf man, Vince will try and leap onto Jackal's now massive head and pound Jackal into the tile floor with his Mach One punch. "We have definately got to get Cosmo to take you for a walk more often. You are getting downright irritable. Maybe that new flea bath is causing an allergic reaction?"

Powers: Will use a HP to reroll any damage roll less than a 15. Focusing my Dodge feat on Jackal to get the extra +1 Defense. Maintaining Superspeed.
