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... PoolVincent 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. WorkshopAn alarm sounds. Sanchez looks up, then quite literally runs for the nearby hanger, leaving everyone looking at her, stunned. Mess HallJohn 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 PoolIt'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.</blockquote>
