Espere... você não são Trovão," the man says looking at Michelle.  "O que é isto? O pedreiro? Você assassino traiçoeiro! Por que eu não o sou surpreendido são envolvidos? Visitou a minha pátria para o último tempo!" the man exclaims, focussed on Mason. OOC:  Of course, none of you except Vince get the entire thing.  Johan manages to pick up enough to figure out that the man is Loco, who is the leader of the Elite Special Forces of the SAA. Vince hears... Loco has arrived, Thunder!  Wait... you are not Thunder.  What is this?  Mason?  You treacherous assassin!  Why am I not surprised you are involved?  You have visited my homeland for the last time! If Neutron really really wants to blast Loco, he can <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Loco bursts into motion again, spinning like a top with an accompanying loud, nearly painful, drilling sound.  The speed he moves at towards the fray is significantly faster than Vince moves, and he deftly dodges guards and Johan's en route to Mason.  Though you don't see the fists, you hear a solid series of rapid punches, and Mason reels from several strikes.  Amazingly, even bereft of powers, Mason doesn't go down! Monica leaps up, trying to come down on top of Mason, but the big man rolls out of the surrounding attackers, and she lands on the concrete instead.  Mantis continues clutching at her throat, unable to breathe, her face turning red. A man, glowing green and dressed in an EPIC uniform, and one none of you have ever seen before, rushes past Straightjacket.  "I'll get him, boy!" he shouts as he slams into Mason from behind, locking his arm around the killer's throat!  The man looks oddly familiar, but you can't quite place it.  Mason's eyes bulge out from the pressure. Straightjacket, Loki, Vince, Neutron, Johan and Metal Mistress are up.  Remember, ranged attacks on a grappled opponent hits a random person in the grapple.  Mason and his attacker have cover as well.</blockquote>
