"And I am sorry I so sorely underestimated Jackal's power. It is a mistake I shall never forget." "Mendez got an Ambulance for you three. I was shocked to hear you were coming right from the institute," the doctor says. "I knew it had to be bad or my counterpart there," he says, nodding at X12, "would have handled it I'm sure." "Well, it looks like you got off lucky, honestly. I'll be comparing those scans of your new wings to try to figure out how that happened," he says. "And you get a darn alarm clock. All I get to do is wake you up. Your regeneration takes care of the rest. I have more important things to do than do wake up calls," he adds with a smile. Once Vince enters the bathroom, the doctor moves over to Jun Po's bed. He pulls the screen around the side of the bed, blocking any view from the hallway. "Still in pain?" he asks quietly, sitting behind her and opening the back of her gown. "It is a small price to pay," she says. "I'll take that as a yes," he replies. He pulls on some surgical gloves and removes the bandages covering her shoulders. Though X12 probably shouldn't be looking, he sees the wounds are stitched closed, not healed, and are red and inflamed. Some yellowish fluid is soaked into the bandages, and appears to be leaking from the cuts. The doctor says something very quietly to her and you can't pick it up, and she nods her head slightly. He runs a finger over one of the cuts and Jun Po flinches. "It's infected, but I've never seen an infection progress this quickly before. We'll have to run some tests. I promise I'll figure it out," he says, applying new bandages to the wounds. "I trust your abilities, Doctor Johnson," Jun Po replies. "I'll get you something for the pain as well," he says. "No." The word is said very adamantly. "Look, you don't have anything to pr..." "No." "Fine, fine. Let's get that gown off so I can check your other injuries. Those I should be able to take care of," he says, getting up and pulling the screen around fully. "Show's over, son," he says to X12 as he closes the screen. FreewayLoki hops onto Sanjay's back and the two rocket out of HQ and towards the freeway. He pushes his power past its normal limits, and the scenery turns into a streaking blur. Raisa bursts past the ring of car wrecks as Straightjacket puts one huge leg over a crushed Honda, stepping into the ring. She charges straight at the woman with the tentacles springing from her body. The tendrils appear to be made of some sort of force, not any flesh. She sees Raisa at the last instant, and backpedals one step as force tendrils slap at Raisa. Raisa plows through them, driving her body into the woman, slamming her to the ground, landing atop her. Hit with a 30. Trip opposed roll: Raisa gets 22, Flick gets a 15. Flick is prone. Tara streaks up towards the flying man who controls the wind. He sees her coming, and ready for her, unleashes a viscious blast of wind. It forces her wings back, swirling about them, making it impossible to beat, and Tara starts to plummet. The wizard appears just under her, catching her easily with that ready smile still on his face. Tara appears very flustered, blushing badly as he lowers her to the ground just inside the ring, still snared by the wind. He kisses her on the cheek, flying up and away a bit immediately after. Tara faints. Readied attack by Aerin, snare on Tara. Readied action by Anithos used to catch her and lower her to safety. Tara fails her saving throw badly, and is overwhelmed by her experience with Anithos. Johan continues guiding people, who are listening and responding well. Leaving a few of his doubles in charge, Johan sprints towards the combat. It will take you one more round to get there; you should leave at least 2 duplicates in charge of the crowd, but the rest can come with you. You spot no useable weapons beyond pieces of useless metal and chunks of asphault. Kevin touches Johan only to find out that it isn't the original. Without anything to show for his effort (aside from being freaking huge now), he runs into the ring of cars as Rebound bounces over his head and Anna streaks at the flying man. Rebound slams into the giant mole. He's definitely a huge upright mole with hair and the snout and sightless eyes and tiny ears and a cute round fuzzy bottom punctuated by fifteen inch razor sharp claws on his hands and six or seven inch ones on his feet. Oh, and he stands a mind boggling 16 feet in height. Needless to say, the Mole doesn't move and Rebound bounces past. Rebound hits, but the Mole makes his save. Anna lets out a blast of ice as she flies towards the man. It hits the swirling energy field surrounding him, and disappates with a shower of snow. John, at his full height, comes up about even with the Mole creature, but the Mole is much wider. John moves to wrap him up, and for a moment it seems to work. Then a swirling beam of sparkling energy comes from the wizard, previously unseen, sitting on the edge of the lead armored vehicle, and hits the Mole. He grows another sixteen feet, towering over John. Without much effort, the creature swats John, who stumbles back a few feet. Second wizard uses readied spell to grow the Mole. John hits with a 18 score. Grapple check: John 25, Mole 32 (John gets a natural 1 (16) [hero point use assumed, gets a 7, becomes a 10, score result 25], Mole gets a 2 on the dice [was using villian point on roll less than 10, gets a 12 and ends up with a 38 grapple check]. The mole is now TWO size categories bigger than you. Carl walks out from behind a car and opens his mouth, releasing a bolt of vibrating energy. From her back, a tendril of force bursts from Flick, knocking the missle into the air and away. Readied deflection succeeds. Carl's attack is deflected away. The perfectly lined up armored cars look so odd in the ring of cars, it's almost laughable. Flick, despite the smacking tendril snaking out of her, seems completely focussed on Raisa. "Get the hell off!" she says angrily. You hear a click, then suddenly are airborn as something presses into your stomach, lifting you up and back. You land with a crunch against a truck, on your rear. You see the woman kip up without effort, a long staff grasped in her hands. She spins it, points it at you and an energy blast envelops you! It tears a small hole in your sleeve! Flick uses her staff to throw you off (not really needed, just for effect since you didn't have a grapple or pin) and kips up, blasting you with a bolt of kinetic force from her staff. She hits with a 22. DC 15 damage save gets you a 7. Hero point used (if I recall you said to previously below a certain level), resulting in a 19. You take no damage. "How goes it up there, Aerin?" she calls up. The Mole's nose twitches and he stomps right at Straightjacket, kicking him! He goes flying through the air, smashing through an upturned bus, ripping it in half and sliding to a halt on his back over 40 feet away! The Mole turns and heads for the front of the caravan of armored vehicles, carefuly inspecting how it is lined up, ignoring you all. Hit with a 17. Damage save is an 18, failing. You are stunned and knocked back 45 feet! For a warning... Knockback is the damage bonus of the attack, less the targets amazing save and immovability bonus, all x5 feet. Please, don't miss that warning. Aerin, the man in the sky, calls back down, "Worry about that Amazon of yours; I can handle myself, Flick." "Right," she calls back, and a faint green glow starts to surrond Flick. Aerin waves his hands and suddenly twenty, foot tall oriental dragons, composed entirely of swirly, cloudlike air, appear, streaking at Anna. They grab her in their tiny claws and fangs, carrying her rapidly into the sky over one hundred feet in a manner of seconds. His force field bursts outwards as well, suddenly strengthened. The blue garbed wizard flies over to Raisa, landing lightly on his feet before her. He smiles down to her, and extends his hand to her, standing between Flick and Raisa, helping Raisa to her feet. "You tore your uniform," he says lyrically, running his finger over a tear in your sleeve. "Anithos Repari."His magic surrounds your arm and the tear vanishes. "All better," he says, floating up and back from you, his hand lingering in yours until he's out of range. You get a 12 on your will save. You are restricted to one HALF action next round. Gazing over the armored cars, the Mole rumbles, "Anithos, get off your ass and make yourself useful." "You are over thirty feet tall, the young ladies uniform is repaired and Flick and Aerin have things well in hand," he replies with a ready grin, smiling at the huge creature. "I am glad you are enjoying yourself. But would you keep them away from my trucks, please." "Of course, gentle patron. Your wish is my command," he replies, bowing gracefully. He turns and point his wand at Kevin, saying "Anithos Vindu!" and a swirling ray of sparkling energy lazily snakes its way towards him. It creeps along the ground, taking on the form of a giant silver serpent with blue flecks on its scales. It rears up before Kevin and slowly starts to undulate back and forth... back and forth... back and forth... Kevin's eyes glaze over and he starts to move his head with the undulations. Anithos casts a spell. He hits with a 22. Kevin gets a 4 on his will save. I assume you want to use a hero point. End result is a 15 and he is paralyzed (barely). As a half action next round, you can attempt to free yourself. If you fail, you can do nothing. If you succeed, you get a normal HALF action. On the bright side, you can attack him freely now if you really want to, though deep down, you know you don't (you don't need to make a will save to attack the wizard). Initiatives: Flick 24, Mole 19, Aerin 18, Anithos 16, Tara 16, Raisa 16, Kevin 16, Michelle 16, Anna 16, Rebound 16, Johan 14, Straighjacket 10, Carl 7 Conditions: Flick 1VP, Mole 1VP, Aerin 1VP, Tara 1HP (unconscious, snared), Raisa 1HP (half-action only) , Straightjacket 1HP (1S, stunned, prone), Kevin 2HP (paralyzed - next round save result 14; state if you want to re-roll and state a half action like you did) Other Conditions:  Vincent 3HP, Jun Po 6HP (2L, Disabled?), X12 2HP, Sanjay 1HP All of you are up!</blockquote>
