"You were warned," the man in the battle suit says menacingly. "Open fire! Johnson, destroy the terminal."

All the guards let fly, catching you a bit off guard. You had no idea they were so prepared to act. Sanjay jerks violently as three guards all blast electrical pulses into him. Electricity courses through him, though he recovers quickly. Rebound is shot twice with worse effect. He slams into the wall, and slumps there, stunned, electricity still crackling about him. The final guard lets loose a blast at the monitor and it explodes, showering Michelle with debris that bounces off her force field.

Attacks: vs Sanjay -- 21, 15, 18; vs Rebound 15, 14
Damage saves: Neutron -- 18(21), 17(20), 14(17) all successful; Rebound -- 6 - RR becomes 16(18), 11(13) [2L, stunned]

The battlesuit points his cannon at Michelle directly and lets loose a massive discharge. It strikes her chest and face, knocking through her force field singing her skin and hair.

Attacks: vs MM -- 18
Damage save: MM -- 13 (15) - RR is lower so 13 is kept [1L]

Sanjay is up.

"Fine then," she says, and electricity snaps out of the gun and dances about your chest. Two other beams sail into you from the side and you hear the dogs released. They leap up and snap at you, but can't get a good hold. The electricity is painful, but not debilitating.

Attacks: vs SJ -- Guards 14, 18, 13; Dogs 12 [miss] and 19.
Damage save: SJ -- 14(17), 10(13), 14(17), 13(16) all successful

You hear a commotion behind you.

"Martin's? You ok? Martins? Ahhh!"

"Look out, there's another one back here!"

"He's invisible! Blast arou *btttz!* ARGH!"

"Watch it, Tessman, you idiot! Don't shoot unless you know where he is!"

It sounds like your dad is handling the guards back there. But before you can look, you hear a loud Crack-a-THOOM! Something strikes you in the hip and thigh, causing your muscles to spasm as you stagger to your right in pain. The Chief just hit you from some serious range.

Attacks: vs SJ -- Chief N20 (crit)
Damage save: SJ 14(17) [1L, stunned] -- Can spend a HP to recover and act normally.

SJ is up.

Raisa
Xi is much relieved when you step back. "My concern is not unwarranted, Raisa," he rasps. "Is it, Jackal?"

"I wouldn't hurt her," Michael says.

"You said the same thing to Li, did you not?" Xi says sharply. "He lost control yesterday. You saw him. And his shouts a few moments ago, I heard those from within the other dojo. He is not always stronger than the beast," Xi warns. "But he is getting stronger."

"Master Wen is in town this morning, so I must train the other students. Raisa, come please. You must join the others. I will return after lunch to train with you, Jackal," Xi says.

Jackal just sighs.

X12, Kevin
Nuh uh! He's my training partner, Dara protests. "You go find your own!"

"I think she likes him 'cause she can whup him," Carl laughs. Dara sticks out her tongue at Carl in response.

"I think we can take a brief rest until Xi returns. He will be put us through our training today as a group. Until then, we practice..."

"Don't say meditation. Don't say meditation," you hear Nova whisper.

..."meditation," Li says cheerfully.

"Aw hell," Nova sighs.

Doctor Worthy seems a bit stunned by your comment. "Oh... was I doing... oh. Sorry. It's just I don't get much chance to see mutants. I find them fascinating. I bet I can convince this Vincent to let me study him a bit."

Anna looks pensive a moment. "A day? At most I think," she says. "But we need to be in New York."
 

John will spend the hero point to unstun, then he will use an accurate attack to grapple the lady in front of him.
"Guess you guys didn't like the renta-cop line eh? Gotta work on your sense of humor."

buzzard
 

"It is okay, doctor. Just remember that us mutants are merely humans that have received special abilities and capabilities.

"Guess we can't really do anything untill that is done."
Johan turns on his communicator. "Vincent, Randall, what is the situation there?"
 

Raisa crosses her ams over her chest, and turns to frown down at Xi. "I am not some little girl that needs to be protected. I know perfectly well what the Jackal is capable of but Michael is not the Jackal. Until he gives me reason not to, I will continue to trust him and treat him like the human being he is and not some animal."

She looks over her shoulder at Michael. "If you want, I can come by later this afternoon after my studies and I will fill you in on what's been going on back in New York." She looks back to Xi. "That is, if it is okay with the warden."

She'll leave the dojo and head over to where the other students are training.
 

"Sonuva..." Neutron shakes off the attack and looks back at the carnage behind him. "I've been warned, have I? You're making me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry." He reaches out at the battlesuit, attempting to rearrange its molecules.

"You guys must have some seriously incriminating evidence in your files to go blowing up your own property. Double M, you okay? You should go find the server, we're taking it with us. I'll handle the police academy rejects." He looks over at the slumped Rebound. "Hey, Rebound, buddy, hop to, big guy."

OOC: Transmutation +7, turning the battlesuit into...hmmm, let's see, how about a plaid tutu?
 

"Yea, I'm ok Neutron. Just singed around the edges, getting used to that though." Shaking her head to clear the cobwebs.

If Sanjay renders the battlesuit into a tutu, she will use her detect metals to try and locate the server room.

If not then she will take a shot at the battlesuit.

"Aahhh!" the guard screams as you grab hold of her painfully. You hear a pop as you lock your grasp on her and her shoulder pops out of its socket, and her gun clatters the ground as she slumps over in your grapple.

Attack Roll: SJ -- 11(20) hit!
Save: Guard 8 (unconscious)

The other guards open fire on you, and with such a big target, they run little risk of hitting their unconscious partner. One you duck, but the other strikes you solidly in the arm. The electricity gives you a jolt, but doesn't do any lasting damage.

Attack Roll: Guards -- 21 (hit), 12 (miss)
Save: SJ -- 15(17) success!

The dogs, snarling, snap at your legs and feet. On snaps into your ankle painfully, but you manage to knock the other's slavering jaws aside.

Attack Roll: Dogs -- 22 (hit), 12 (miss)
Save: SJ -- 9 (11) [1L]

Another loud electrical crackling warns you of the incoming blast from the Chief. You barely stand in time for the blast to miss your head and strike you in the back. Your suit absorbs the discharge, though you are getting very tired of your electro-shock therapy.

Attack Roll: Chief -- 9 (VP to RR becomes 19 -- hit)
Save: SJ -- 17(18) success!

"Back off, you two. I can handle this," you hear over the two other guards' radios. You turn your head to see the Suit is over thirty feet in the air, and still over fifty feet away from you over the parking lot.

Meanwhile, the commotion your dad is creating seems very effective as you see him knock one of the guards unconscious with a stiff jab to the jaw as the others shoot their weapons, missing him badly.

Neutron, Metal Mistress

Blasting a energy beam at the battlesuit, the man is instantly enveloped by crackling, multi-colored energy. He slaps his hand to his wrist, activating something, and the energy field explodes outward, disappating to nothingness.

Attack Roll: Neutron -- 15(18) hit! -- fatigued still
Save: Battlesuit -- 24 (success)

Michelle hops up from behind the counter and lets loose a blast of energy at the battlesuit. The energy soars at him, but he simply raises an arm, catching the energy on it and tossing it to the ground where it disappates.

Attack Roll: MM -- 10(15) miss!

Rebound seems to come back to his senses, just as the guards fire again. Two again blast at Rebound, while the fourth adds his firepower to those attacking Sanjay. The guards move about with some skill and efficiency, spreading out so as not to become one big target.

Attack Rolls: vs. Rebound -- 18(hit), 23(hit); vs Neutron -- 10(miss), 20(hit), 9(miss), 18(hit)
Saves: Rebound 12(14)[1L, stunned], 18(20)[success]; Neutron 19(22), 13(16) both successes!

The man in the battlesuit snorts. "We protect our client's right to privacy. And your pathetic and illegal attempt at espionage ends now!" he shouts as he adjusts a switch on his cannon, cutting loose a massive blast of energy at Michelle. Her force field barely manages to withstand the blast, and she's still singed by the powerful shot!

Attack Rolls: vs MM -- 20(hit)
Save: MM 13 (HP to RR is lower, 13(14) kept) [1L]

Sanjay is up.

Raisa
"I will speak with Master Wen, but I do not think it will be a problem for you to do that," Xi says. "Raisa," he says as you step outside. "We have nearly had one tradgedy here already by someone placeing too much trust in his ability to control the beast within him. Not not place yourself in harms way needlessly," he warns.

Training
When Xi and Raisa enter, your meditating is done and Xi leads you through a brisk workout, focusing on teaching you several attack and defense techniques using your bodies and simple weapons. It's not nearly as hard as you thought it would be, given the brutal work out you had yesterday.

Lunch comes later than normal, and then comes schooling. With Johan's knowledge, Kevin fires through his schoolwork, finishing before mid afternoon is even reached. It's just about this time, around 3:00PM, that Master Wen returns and interrupts your study time.

"I visit town and mayor say you allowed to go down there. Be on best behaviour when go though. Do not make school look bad," he warns. Looking around, he sees Kevin's books closed. "Oh good! Someone done already! I have special job for you," he says, calling you outside. "Mister Chow have cart of plants in market in town. You go down and get for him. Then once done, go pick up fish order from docks. Both already paid for. Here are receipt for pick up. You only need one thing," he says, taking hold of your hand. "You learn Chinese very fast with power. Then you have no problems," he says positively.

Arizona -- Lockheed
"We found the end of the tunnel down here," Loki says over the radio. "It comes out a few miles from Lockheed in an old abandoned mine. Looks like they drove across the desert to the interstate."

"I'll send a team up here to look for clues, but I doubt anything will be found to help us out," you hear Simmonds voice say over the comm. "We're headed back." On the way back, he says, "You'd do well in the FBI. That talent to see illusions and such would be really useful."

You see Cosmo come up from the workfloor. "Sounds like we're done here," he says. "Did we find out anything important?" he asks.

Vince comes bursting out of the tunnel, probably a good fifteen minuts ahead of Simmons and Loki. "Man, you shoulda seen the illusionary trap they laid out there. That Anithos guy had to be involved I tell you."

"Oh, there you are," Doctor Worthy says when she sees Vince come in. "I wonder if I could trouble you to stay around for a few hours? I'd love to run a few scans and tests on you. Your obious genetic changes are fascinating," she says with obvious interest.
 

Wen said:
"You learn Chinese very fast with power. Then you have no problems"

"I suppose the best way to learn a langage, is to speak it..." Kevin reply with an unhappy voice. He stands up. "If I want to finish the job, better start now." Kevin leave the room.

Sure. Kevin, do the job. You have the heaviest training, so you have no reason to relax. Two job, five EPIC, give both to the same. If he hadn't drain the powers, I could have done it in half the time with a duplicate. I'm sure he had plan it. That's why I still have some of Johan's Knowledge...
