The small paging card flashes after Michelle activates it. How long it will be until Loco manages to arrive, she has no idea. The bracers Mason is wearing are some sort of metallic alloy, and she tries to lift him from the ground. Mason's arms barely start to raise however, before he tugs them free with little effort.
Attack roll: 18 hits
Opposed check: MM 15, Mason 24
Neutron cuts loose an energy blast at Mason. The blast glances off his arm, leaving a cauterized wound. Mason barely seems to notice the wound.
Attack roll: 17 hits
Damage save (DC17): 15 fails (1S)
One of Johan's duplicates still has a medical kit, though for treating the electrical burns Anna has from her blaster shorting out, he can do very little. Still, he manages to wrap some gauze around the worst of the wounds.
Medicine check (DC15): 15 succeeds
Mason looks unphased by the whole loss of powers and damage to his one bracer... well, at least he doesn't seem concerned. He charges straight at Cosmo, leading with his right fist, and following it up with a roundhouse kick. The fist sends Cosmo's head jerking to the side, but he manages to lean back unnaturally far to avoid the kick.
Attack roll: 19 hits
Damage save (DC23): 18 fails (1L)
VILLAINOUS SURGE!
Attack roll: 16 misses
Out of nowhere, Mason explodes into action as he seizes the moment his attack has given him, launching quick series of attacks that surprises you all considering he doesn't have his power borne of stone.
VP to seize the moment!
The veins on his neck and arms stand out as he slams his hands together! Wind explodes outward, slamming into everyone within 30 feet with a deafening roar!
Reflex saves (DC 17): Monica 22, Cosmo 20, Neutron 11, Vince (automatic), Loki 7 (HP 16), Straighjacket 21, Metal Mistress 20, Johan 21 [4, 9, 17, 17], Anna 11 [I'm adding protection to damage saves for simplicity]
Damage save (DC20): Monica 20, Cosmo 18 (1S), Vince 11 [HP 23], Straightjacket 18 (1S), Metal Mistress 26, Johan 23 [11, 12 -- two duplicates destroyed]
Damage save (DC25): Neutron 16 (1S, stunned), Loki 16 (1S, stunned), Johan [18, 9 -- two duplicates destroyed], Anna 12 (1L, disabled)
The guards all start blasting at Mason again, and once more, their weapons prove completely ineffective... except one shot that penetrates the protection the bracers grant, but deflects off Mason's skin without harm.
In the wake of his attack and ignoring the guards, Mason leaps into the air with a primal scream, fists clenched above his head. He comes down, defense obviously tossed to the wayside, driving both fists into Cosmo's shoulder with all his might. A small visual shockwave radiates out from the hit, and you can hear the pop of Cosmo's shoulders seperating over the sound of the impact. Somehow, Cosmo maintains his concentration on his power, trying to stagger away, pain etched on his face.
VILLAINOUS SURGE!
Attack roll: 22 hits
Damage save (DC25): 14 (1L, disabled)
...Mason's turn is done for this round. With no other threats, you can all go. Except Neutron, who is stunned and won't get a turn.
Monica pounces on Mason, slashing at him again, drawing long and bloody welts up his arm. He bats at her without concern, either not noticing the wounds or not caring about them.
Mantis leaps at him as well, driving both insectoid arms at him like lances. He catches one in a meaty hand, and flips her past him, though she lands lightly on her feet with an insect-like hiss.
Everyone is up!

Xi's hands start to glow, an eerie green, and he takes a step towards you, but Li steps between both of you.
"I will not have this foolishness endanger my grandfather further. You will both be silent!" she shouts, the first time you have heard her ever raise her voice in anger.
"I said wake her up!" Dara insists, and X12 feels nautious as he suddenly, very much against his will, turns around and marches awkwardly to where Dara is before he regains control of his body. "And I swear if you two twins don't can it, you'll both spend the rest of our time in China thinking you're little girls."
Carl actually laughs at that.
