time to move to the second phase of my plan.  Red Witch, what have you divined of our progress thus far?” the hulking reptilian general spoke with a deep rumbling hiss.“Genocide, my liege, we have the support of VSC and President Adid, and their resources are considerable.  Although we are to only apprehend the boy, we may do well for ourselves to seize greater power here.  This world is ripe for the picking for our great lord,” she lovingly rests a hand on his shoulder, “the spoils of such victory could be quite rewarding.”“Hmm, go on,” Genocide replied in a mockery of a smile.“I dare not say we strike openly, but VSC has many contacts we can use to our advantage, and with what I have seen in the Congo Protectorate, the stage is set for invasion,” she replied with a seductive whisper.“So has he completed a stabilized portal,” Genocide pondered as he stood and walked to the balcony overlooking Mudaba Adin, easily viewing the chaos going on downtown.“Invasion?” Captain Hajim countered following Genocide.“Of course invasion,” Genocide replied with a glare.  “That was not in the deal, you get the boy, we get your support in this world,” the cyborg stammered back.Genocide’s eyes flared with hell fire, as he lashed out quickly and clenched the Captain around the throat, “I don’t think you understand the severity of your position.  Your usefulness is diminishing with each coming day.  Now if you wish to remain alive then you will need to revise where your loyalties lie, human.  Your President is a means to an end.”Captain Hajim choked out a growl, “You… lied…”“Oh come now Captain, surely you can recognize a lost cause when you see one.  You have two choices, because you are relatively useful, if you wish to be.  But don’t think for a moment you are indispensable, human.  You serve me, or you die where you stand,” Genocide replied as his body began to glow with hell fire.Captain Hajim choked out one word, “Live…”Genocide released his grip, “Good, then contact your President, I will be paying him a visit.”The Matrix Nightclub, Downtown Mudaba AdinKelly moved up to the balcony, and could spot several people scurrying for cover, one woman tried to help a man trapped under flaming debris, he screamed in pain, but there was no way she could move the flaming slag that trapped the youth underneath.Seeing the pillar form, Paragon shouts loudly, “Get the civilians clear now!”  He flies downward and picks up Atlas, with ease, surveying the chaos and destruction.  Meanwhile Phase continues to sprint through the walls of the structures moving with ease through the buildings, like a ghost.Kelly benefits from Paragon’s Leadership score.Redline grabs a woman wounded from the crash, and sprints out the door with blinding speed, she places her near the medics and then runs right back into the building, in a flash, looking for more wounded to help, coughing, her eyes watering from the smoke.  Rei continued to fly upward using more obscuring smoke, coming out through the hole from the craft, right behind him is the elite called Synapse, both fly as fast as bullets as they push their powers to the limit.Synapse Used Extra Effort for Super FightBoth Anika and Ryan can see Synapse and Rei fleeing the scene, but they also see the flames from the structure as the authorities wok to try and combat the fire, and find the wounded.Earth Low OrbitThere was silence.  No sound, no breathing, just silence.  An eerie calm that was almost alien in its silence.  No sound traveled in the vacuum, and the giant blue and white orb below, it seemed so fragile beneath the glowing woman, and even more so knowing what she knew.Things were escalating now, events had played out as she knew they would, and the second phase was coming.  But there was something different, something intangible, which seemed to move underneath her notice.  Not everything was playing out as she knew it, there were slight deviations, slight changes, and that scared her.  Never before had things begun to surprise her, she knew it all as if she had already lived it, but now things were changing, the future that had always been certain was now becoming muddled.The silence of the vacuum did not please her, there was no peace of mind for her.  It only allowed her more time to question herself, and her actions.  But the questions brought no answers they never did, and she pushed them from her mind.  She had to stay focused for the inevitable conflict to come.</blockquote>
