The other two guards are pushed back by the blast, but are otherwise unscathed. Using the heavily damaged, crew laden transport as cover? Yikes! Ok... Vince powers his way upwards through the air, and with a burst of speed, he appears on the scene of combat as suits of armor plumet past him to their deaths. Sprint speed (super movement) is a full round action, so that's all you can manage this round.  Cosmo shakes his head and growls, leaping at Jackal and slamming his shoulder into him. Jackal staggers backward, slamming into the wall, but steps out of the small dent and appears to be pretty much unhurt. Cosmo bounces back from the impact, landing on his rear, stunned. Tara whirls around, slamming one of her insectoid arms through the shoulder of an armored guard. He collapses to the ground, badly wounded. Outside, Neutron blasts at one of the flying guards moving towards him. Attack roll: 19 hits!Damage save (DC22): 22 succeeds Though he strikes a solid blow, the silver armor absorbs the energy effectively, leaving the guard within unhurt. The guards mount their assault outside, flying up past the armored car and Michelle, gaining height on her. Four of them focus on her, blasting her from all sides and above, while one guard, the one he hit, moves at Neutron at reckless speed! Michelle: Attack rolls: 19, 15, 4 (VP 17), 16Damage saves (DC23): 25, 12 (HP 20), 15 [2L, stunned] Neutron: Attack roll: 11 (VP 20) hits!Damage save (Neutron DC27): 22 (1S)Damage save (Guard DC19): 19 Michelle gets struck three times, the final blast piercing her force field and slamming her into the top of the armored car. Her magnetic field around it fades as the breath is driven from her and both she and it topple towards the ground! Neutron and the guard impact with a metallic clang! Both he and the guard bounce back from the impact, mostly unharmed. Inside, the mercenaries are faring better. Two tackle Tara, bearing her to the ground beneath them, trying to pin her down. Three of the suits crackle with power about the suit, and all three enter into melee with SJ's dad. These attacks prove much more effective against the energy absorbing man, and he crashes through a pillar, laying motionless on the floor, his glow slowly fading. The remaining attack Straightjacket in melee as well, and their strength proves a bit better than their guns. Attack rolls: 18, 17, 4 (VP 14)Damage saves (DC24): 26, 25 Fortunately, SJ is prepared for the assault, turning their blows aside with his own massive strength. Rebound sees the falling armored car and as he hits the ground, suddenly grows into an immense ball on the ground. The armored car slams into him, and he quickly deflates to absorb the impact, though he finds himself effectively trapped beneath the vehicle. Michelle finds herself only a dozen yards from the ground, unable to arrest her fall when something grabs her hand and she finds her fall painfully halted and her direction reversed! "The battle is this way," says a thick bearded Brazilian in a blue leather suit. He bears the same emblem that Loco has on his suit and a half mask that covers most of his head. At his hip is a massive warhammer of ice and his grey wings beat effortlessly, driving both you and he upwards towards the battle again. The sound of liquid comes from behind Sanjay and something wet bounces off his head. It's a thin line of jet black ... liquid. "Hey EPIC," it cheerfully says in a female voice as it springs off him to attach to the side of the building. Another tendril grabs hold of the guard as it passes, and he's wrenched backwards to smash into the building and hang limply in the black tendril. Above Neutron, just outside the garage, a large man, looking very much like an olympic power lifter, hurls a giant boulder towards the garage with a loud grunt. The boulder spins through the air, gaining speed and yells "Duck!" as it enters. Inside the garage, the "boulder" smashes the two men off of Tara and then crashes to a halt against the grill of the limo. It unrolls to reveal a very round boulder with arms and legs. "Aw crap! I'm not payin' for that!" he exclaims at seeing the limosine damage. The mercenaries he hit do not get up. The sound of a drill bursts up the side of the building as Loco makes his appearance. Unable to stop and moving quickly past the combat outside, he grinds to a halt just inside the garage. "It looks like perhaps, the odds should be evened out, don't you agree?" he says loudly, his voice carrying through the area somehow. "Well, that would be our cue," Jackal says, looking at the added forces arrayed against him. "Gentleman, time to withdraw. Rendevous as planned," he says calmly, then surges forward, a pair of ramjets providing propulsion. He blasts both green armored men with a translucent energy beam, and they are dragged along with him as he rockets at incredible speed out into the sky, nearly knocking Loco outside! Vince or Loco could probably keep up on the ground, but in the sky it is obvious he has much faster speed than any of you. It is your guys' turns, and it is obvious that the armored guards have been given the order to withdraw, as they are all turning from you, preparing to rocket off in various directions. JohanFalling bodies provide an unpleasant sound to the area, but as you are checking on Ms. Vaile, you see Rebound 'catch' the armored hovership, but end up pinned beneath it. Loki staggers out of the Van, looking mildly better but still pale, and weaves a complex illusion about the area outside the van. While you can see through it, it appears for all intents and purposes, that it is empty of people. Pretty effective way to hide Ms. Vaile. "I don't feel very good," he complains. October 26, 2120Dover, England -- The York EstateX12, JayInitiatives: Thunder 26 (2L, 1HP), Michael 23 (1HP, 1L), X12 22 (2L), Jay 21 (1L), Lord York 21 (1L, KO), New York 19 (1L), Super-Killer Robot 11 (3D-only one cannon, other is destroyed), Raisa 11 (1L, KO), Tank 8 (3L, 1VP) With New York still trying to acquire a bead on Jay, Jay leaps to his feet and grabs the sword. He starts rushing towards his brother, dodging the searching beam as he goes. New York is on the ground and a full round of movement away. Instead of using the HP for leap, we'll use it for movement so you are within striking distance next round with your sword. Lord York's attentions to the Robot have finally drawn its attention. Swivelling around rapidly on its midsection, it slams its remaining arm into the older man, sending him rolling across the ground. He loses his sword in the process and slides into a tree, not moving. Robot didn't get his turn last time <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> Poor robot. With Jay so close, New York abandons his attempt to use his cannon. The cannon retracts quickly and Kevin punches Jay hard in the chest. Attack roll: 20 hitsDamage save (DC24): 20 fails (1L) The blow is staggering, but Jay manages to turn with it and keep his footing, gaining a good opportunity to strike at the jets in the armor... until Kevin's armor suddenly sprouts its jets and surges straight up 30 feet. Now, now you can use leap! The remaining robot, continues its spin and glares down at X12, raising its massive foot and stomping down at him! Attack roll: 13 misses! X12 barely manages to roll out of the way as the metal foot creats a half foot divot where he was laying moments before.  The house is momentarily silent and Thunder gets to his feet, not looking fully convinced that it is over. But as he sees New York lifting off the ground, he blasts the boy with a surge of electricity that sends him catupulting across the sky, crashing into the forest some hundred and fifty feet away! As if to mock him for taking his eyes off the prize, Tank bursts up from the rubble of the mansion, blasting Thunder a half dozen times with his cannons as a pair of small missles rocket down on the leader's location! You lose sight of Thunder in the ensuing explosion that drives Jay to his knees. "Quit foolin' around, kid," Tank says to nobody, looking in the direction New York had just been blasted. X12 and Jay are up. X12 is recovered from his condition fully now, and a sword is well within reach. Jay is about 60 feet from the fireball on the ground, and Tank is about 60 feet up in the air and about 80 feet from him ohorizontally.</blockquote>
