Mendez says pulling out a strange looking pistol.  "Or maybe a stun blaster, like this," he adds, pulling a second weapon out.  "Never underestimate a wiley Mexican.  I have no intention of letting him anywhere near me.  I'll be standing behind the smart aleck with regeneration," he adds, still out of breath, as you bound down the stairs. You suddenly hear a blood curdling scream from Vincent and a desperate scream for help from Jun Po. You'll be there in the round after those in the hallway or you can spend a HP to get there this round.  Mendez is spending that point... Jackal howls, shaking his head to spit the rocks out.  He turns his glowing eyes on you.  He releases you and you wonder if this was such a smart move as he is now focussed on you. Taunt automatically successful.  Very clever, so not even a hit roll required.  He'll definitely be trying to eat you this round. "Annoying... fly... give Jackal... wings..." he growls, tossing Jun Po aside.  You'd probably enjoy watching her as she deftly lands on her feet, if not for the amount of her own blood coating her.  Then, you focus on Jackal as he slashes at you with amazing speed!  You duck once, spinning away from another blow but he latches onto the back of your head, slamming you face first into the tiles, driving the air from your body.  He pulls you up, his arm around your throat and starts wrenching on your left wing.  With a spray of blood, it comes free as your back litterally explodes in pain. Grapple hits with a 29.  Grapple check is won with a 30 versus 18.  Damage save is failed with a 19 and you are stunned.  Jackal uses heroic effort and does damage again, scoring a crit with a natural 20.  You fail the save with a 6 use a re-roll and end up with a 15 and are horrified to have your wing come free. "Vincent!" Jun Po shouts in shock, charging at Jackal.  She aims a punch right at his arm holding Vincent, and shatters Jackal's elbow.  The beast howls in pain, staggering backwards, collapsing on the ground.  You collapse as well.  "Hold still Vincent," Jun Po says quietly, grabbing the remnants of her robe and pressing it against your wound.  You see she is actually crying.  "Someone, help!" she screams.  "Close your eyes, Vincent.  Don't look at it," she pleads.  In all your days at the institute you've never heard her use much emotion at all.  That in and of itself is terrifying. Much to your horror, you see Jackal very silently get up, his arm contorting as the elbow reforms perfectly.  He has a cold grin on his face as he sneaks unseen at Jun Po's back. Woo boy, that was actually unpleasant to type out.  I think I surpassed Aggy on that one, and it was stupid rolls.  If you want to act E-man, just tell me what you want to do.  Vince is up. Condition: Vincent (2S, 2L, disabled, prone, 1HP used), Jun Po (2L, prone sorta), Jackal (2L, regenerated 3S, regenerated disabled condition) Initiatives: Jackal 29, Vincent 28, Jun Po 27, Loki 25, Neutron 21, Cosmo 20 (Aye Carumba!), X12 18, Mendez 15 In the HallwayYou hear two things that are disturbing.  One is a blood curdling scream from Vincent and one is a desperate cry for help from normally emotionlly reserved Jun Po. Just noticed Agamon posted afore his time.  Kinda important this time, given what horrid things just happened.  You'll get in the room to the sight described above... Jackal silently stalking at Jun Po and the mess of blood and torn bodies...</blockquote>
