EPIC M&M: Issue 6 (IC)

"Let her go," Raisa says grimly, tired and sore and not particularily in any mood to go after the psychotic woman. She looks at Li where she kneels next to Kevin. True, she never got along with the guy, but it still sucked. "I think we've lost enough today."

Sanjay looks with shock from Vida to the doorway, the energy field still there. "NO!" he yells, getting very frustrated and once more panicked. He looks around the doorway trying to find some sort of device or panel that might be powering or controlling the field to destroy. Barring that, he'll begin melting a hole in the wall 10 feet from the doorway (or as far away from it as the field extends otherwise), trying to make it large enough to fly the car through.

As an aside, I never meant the FX on Neutron's Transmutation power to be a beam. He'll raise a hand at what he changes to focus or for effect, but there's no beam shooting from him. It's more of a mental manipulation of matter. The rules do state that you only need to see or touch something to transmutate it. That cool?
 

"We are in trouble..." Johan mutters to himself just before he notices Vincent's comm in range.

"Vincent? Do you copy, this is Johan? Repeat, do you copy?"
He starts walking slowly around, trying to see if the signal is stronger at some point.
 


X12 starts towards Kevin and Li. "Yes, I can -- but if I do, I won't be able to help Master Wen if he needs any attention," he says, kneeling down next to them.
 

In the Mountains of Portugal
The light on means your communicators are connecting, so you can't get a better signal. Any answer he gives is up to him.

The medics move Loco slowly to the transport. The digging lasers on the back tractor arm do their job well, and combined with the efforts of those able to help, some good progress starts to be made. After twenty feet of digging and clearing, you finally come to a cave entrance. A scan done by the driver indicates there is at least another sixty feet inside to tunnel out.

Vince
Your communicator is working, evidenced by Johan's voice.

Escaping an SAP Facility
Neutron
You focus your powers on the cement wall beside the door and the rock on the other side. You get through but the energy field that blocks the metal door is outside the rock face as well! However, luck seems to be partially with you as you uncover the edge of what looks to be some sort of energy projector just oustide the hole you made, on your side of the energy field! You hear a tearing sound of metal as the elevator door behind you continues to give way, catching a glimpse of silver from behind it.

You focus your power again quickly, taking out the portion of the device you can see and instantly the energy field snaps out of existance. The reprieve is very short lived however and you can see the energy field appear at the far left side of the garage some sixty feet away and start speeding its way along the wall to the hole you made. You may have only seconds to get out the hole!

"It is closing again!" Vida exclaims, breaking down in a fit of coughing.

In A Cave System Outside Mai Pai, China
"We haven't lost anyone!" Li shouts at Raisa. "You must try," she adds in a more subdued tone, looking at X12.

"And we can't just let her go," growls Jackal. "How many more people is she going to do that to," he says gesturing at Kevin's body. "We can't just give up!" he exclaims, grabbing Raisa by the arm to get her full attention. "We're better than that! We're EPIC!"
 

Sanjay immediately slams forward on the left flight stick, paying no attention to the oncoming energy field or the elevator behind him.
 

X12 looks Kevin over, double-checking Li's analysis. "If I'm able to revive Kevin, we'll both be unconscious," he says to Li.

OOC: Medicine check.

If Kevin is indeed dead:
He reaches down and pulls out the dagger out of Kevin unceremoniously. Planting his knees, X12 focuses his powers and presses his hands down on Kevin's face.

OOC: Healing - Res (Extra) with Hero Point.


If Kevin is actually still alive:
X12 preps a hand, and quickly removes the dagger while touching Kevin's forehead.
 

"Johan! I've never been so happy to hear your voice before!! Monica and I got buried in the tunnel after we went after Ghost. Ghost has stuck some batons inside Monica's chest and then solidified them. I managed to keep Mon alive so far but she is in rough shape and I don't think she can hold on much longer. We ran into Flick and Mole down here and they collapsed the only other way out. I've tried digging us out myself but I can't keep Mon alive and do that at the same time. We need help down here!"
 

"Even the good guys have to know when they're done," Raisa answers Michael in an tired, but even tone. "If X succeeds in bringing Kevin back, like he did Nova, we'll lose any immediate healing we may need. If we go after her, the chances are not all of us will be coming back in one piece. As it stands now, we got Xi, we got Master Wen, and we didn't leave Kevin behind. Hell, we even caught most of the bad guys. In my books, that's score one for our side."

She sighs and watches Xi a moment as he melts away the wall. "If you insist on going after Mia I'll be right behind you. But I still say its a bad idea."
