Generation Legacy Issue #9 "Innocence Lost" - Part 3

[Tokiwong]

Initiative: Velocity Girl 30, Yoshi 26, Jimmy 24, Chimera 23, Mark 22, Manticore 22, Cassie 21, Nightchild 21, Ares 17, Thor 17, Danger Girl 17, Kiyana 17, Miracle Girl 15, Cantrip 13, Karen 12, Gadget 11, Ryan 10, Kelly 9, Kid Paragon 8, James 5, Undine 5, Behemoth 4, Anika 3.

Anika watches the chaos around her, her usual confidance currently lacking. She catches the kiss Aris gives Ryan. "Hey, what--" and then watches in shock as Ryan kills one of the attackers.

She backs up a few steps from that scene, stumbling on her own feet before reagaining her senses. "Snap out of it!" she thinks with a shake of her head. She begins to cast a spell, but glances back at Thor as he clashes with Ares. "What if this works? What if it doesn't?" she thinks, but her look turns determined as she draws a rune in the air

and chants, "Freyja, shield me from those that would do me harm!"

So that's one half action doing basically nothing, and another to attempt to raise her Force Field.

For a moment…. Nothing happens then the force field flares to life around the stunned and reeling Anika. As the chaos of the battle rages on!

Although Thor throws Anika a pointed look at her display of power, while he tussles with Ares… before focusing on the task at hand.

The power works… now begin Round 2…

Velocity Girl quickly activates the gizmo on the bomb trying to disable the mechanism before it can rain terrible death to the innocent citizens of Olympic City! The bomb goes silent, the diodes and LCD display goes dead.

Velocity Girl smiles, “Piece of cake, Traveler do the honors and put this toy into orbit, so no one can use it again…”

Velocity Girl uses the Gizmo which acts as a Neutralize effect on the Bomb, the Bomb makes a save of 17 and it is deactivated.

Yoshi hops to his feet, and dashes right over to Cassie, “Oh my god! Where the hell did you come from babe!” as he completely forgets the battle still raging around him!

Move Action to stand, and then moved to stand next to Cassie.

Jimmy cracks a smile, “Thanks Kelly,” he lifts rubble over his head and tosses it at Manticore with great force!

*CRACK! SMASH!*

The flying armor tumbles back to earth and crashes in a heap from the force of the attack. Jimmy gestures wildly, “I love playing dodge ball!”

Jimmy rolls a 23 to strike with the ranged attack, and Manticore rolls a 10 for his save, he uses a VP and gets a 13. He is now stunned with One VP and comes tumbling back to earth landing ten feet from Anika. Manticore takes 1 Stun hit.

It is now Mark’s turn…

 

[Aenion]

Karen looks worriedly at Behemoths prone and bleeding body, ”W-will he be alright?” she asks Kal before looking around to take stock of the situation. She watches battle around her, until her eyes come to rest on Ryan standing over Chimera’s corpse.

Images assault her, images of herself with a knife on her throat, of a man sinking to the floor, the sound of a knife breaking on stone, a man staggering backwards his face a bloody mess, a third man holding his bloody ruin of a fist soon he drops to the ground as well, shortly followed by a fourth man. She sees herself standing over the corpses of 4 men, blood dripping from her fingers and hair. No, this can’t be real. I could never have done something like that. I’m not a murderer, that can't be me. I can’t use this right now, people are in danger, I need to keep my head straight, she thinks as she tries to shake the images from her mind with a sick feeling in her stomach.

ooc: no other action this round besides staring confused and shocked at the corpse of Chimera.

Cassie looks at him with a shake of her head. "Not now Yoshi, concentrate on the fight, then we can talk." She notes Manticore's collision with Jimmy's adhoc missile and subsequent 1-point body landing and moves to ensure that he doesn't recover fully by putting a hammer blow to further stun him.

OOC: Going to see if she can further stun him into senselessness so he doesn't recover (since Ares is still out of range I assume? Being like 50 ft off the ground an all )

 

[Samnell]

Mark wheels around without losing much speed and returns, seeing Ryan kill Chimera. "Holy-" His senses return to him just in time to keep him from tripping and going into a high speed collision with the ground.

Try one of the gods flying around up in the air or make sure armor guy stays down? Armor guy wins. Mark makes a pass at Manticore, hoping that a kick to the side as he leaps over the prone villain wont end up cutting him in half.

OOC: Always kick a man when he's down. If he gets up, you have a head start.

Mark races forward with blazing speed! But he misses the armored elite as he zips by at full speed. Putting himself out of harm’s way!

Mark rolls a total roll of 17, including +1 from leadership and +2 for attacking a stunned opponent. He misses…

Manticore stands slowly, looking around at the lack of support and his chances of escape at the remains of Chimera he raises his hands. He makes no actions to move either way, and just stands still.

Villain Point, used for recovery from Stun. Manticore stands but takes no actions, considering his predicament. I need to know if Cassie is still going to beat the crapola out of Manticore or not…

Back on Earth: Legacy

The lights of the club flash in a variety of colors as the music pounds loudly, a remix of Sakura Red’s newest song “Revival” blares in the background. A slim Chinese male with a stern face sits amidst a gaggle of women as they fawn over him and his associates. There is a smug smile on his face, a superior façade that paints his every action.

He was the elite criminal known as Honor, leader of the Water Margin.

She watched him from across the club, shades over her red eyes, as her short blue hair framed her perfect face. A black jumpsuit of leather adorned her athletic figure, and the expression on her face was impassive and devoid of emotion.

72 hours earlier in Mudaba Adin

“Are you sure about this Star?” Tommy replies somewhat skeptical at his own creation.

“I am positive Tommy, you said that my systems were not operating at 100%, if this is true then I would like you to unlock that potential. This is what I want,” Star replies back in her monotone voice.

Tommy nods, “Alright Star, this will take some time, I will have to take you offline, and reroute some systems. Just relax now…”

Honor’s suite…

Unless otherwise noted, translated from Mandarin Chinese…

“Ladies,” Honor chuckles as he squeezes the two young women on his couch, “relax we have a long night ahead of us…”

The girls giggle loudly as they both tease the elite hit man with their bodies. Just outside the large window of the deck is the wonderful skyline of San Francisco. Unseen at least by visible sensors is the invisible form of Star, her body refracting the light around her, using a variety of interwoven materials to make her virtually invisible to sight as she trains her assault rail-cannon at Honor, taking careful aim…

Only one thought crosses her electronic mind, You won’t ever hurt Mark or anyone else ever again… you bastard!

OOC: Oh yeah..she want's him back down.. so she's going with her typical power punch/move by combo (+5/-5)

Initiative: Velocity Girl 30, Yoshi 26, Jimmy 24, Chimera 23, Mark 22, Manticore 22, Cassie 21, Nightchild 21, Ares 17, Thor 17, Danger Girl 17, Kiyana 17, Miracle Girl 15, Cantrip 13, Karen 12, Gadget 11, Ryan 10, Kelly 9, Kid Paragon 8, James 5, Undine 5, Behemoth 4, Anika 3.

OOC: Oh yeah..she want's him back down.. so she's going with her typical power punch/move by combo (+5/-5)

Cassie dashes by and slams her fist into Manticore but he does not go down, instead he drops into a defensive stance, "I see... you don't give any quarter then... ruthless... and you have the killer instinct..."

Manticore scans the rest of the teens seeing he has no choice but to fight.

Cassie rolls a 27, and Manticore rolls a 16, and he takes another Stun hit, but otherwise fine.

Nightchild scowls, but stays focused on the task at hand, “Teen Justice, focus on Manticore bring him down… no one else is dying today!” He pulls a star like throwing weapon and whips it across the battlefield at Manticore!

Manticore is struck head on, and the star blossoms into a net, but the armored villain is more nimble then looks or perhaps lucky, as he evades getting entangled.

Leadership usage; his attack is a 30 with the +1 from Leadership. But Manticore rolls a 22 reflex save and is not entangled.

Nightchild stays focused, despite all the chaos.

Ares tries to strike Thor down with his blades but the mighty thunder god parries the attack and then whirls around in a spin and slams his mighty hammer into the villain’s chest sending him sailing across the plaza into a building with a thunderous clamor!

Ares rises with a scowl, “You win this round Thor!”

Thor floats downward as Ares disappears in a flash of crimson light. He observes the battle between the teens and Manticore, as the city around them begins to slowly repair itself, as lightning energy arcs over the landscape.

Danger Girl salutes Nightchild, “Easier said then done,” as she trains another shot and then fires to try and stun and knock the armored villain back down! But the shot goes wide as the still blind Manticore escapes harm once more.

Danger Girl rolls a 13 and misses with her Stun Blast.

Kiyana seethes as her form roils with rage…

Kiyana rolls a 20, including +1 from Leadership, on her Will Save to avoid going berserk… She spends a Hero Point to avoid exhaustion from the Extra Effort.

“The fury of the ocean is within me!” she screams in Russian. Her watery fist extends out once more and slams Manticore and knocks him right off his feet onto his back! The armored villain lifts his head for a moment before collapsing back to the ground not moving his face battered and bleeding beneath the mask…

Kiyana stumbles back some scared at her change… “Is it over?” she says in accented English… Miracle Girl uses her control over force energy to create a force cage around Manticore binding him in his state. Cantrip follows suit doing the same to Behemoth, using his sorcery.

Kiyana rolls 21 to strike. Manticore rolls an 8 and is now Disabled with 2 Lethal hits and 1 Stun hit. He is down and then Miracle Girl binds him, and Cantrip binds Behemoth. I can assume that James will still teleport the bomb into orbit just in case? If so we are out of combat…

Thor concentrates as the buildings return to their “original” state and after a full minute he relaxes, and rests his hammer over his shoulders. Kid Paragon turns to Thor, “Thanks… dad.”

Thor grins, “The loss of life was thankfully only one my son,” he turns to Chimera, “Ares didn’t know I used my power to move the people to safety.”

Nightchild speaks firmly to Ryan, “What the hell was that? You killed him? What gives you the right to kill anyone? We only protect innocents, we are not killers!”

Honor’s Suite

Translated from Mandarin Chinese unless otherwise noted…

Honor moves without thinking, as the supersonic flechette rounds slices through the bulletproof window, his furniture, and the air. He rolls to his feet and shouts to the women who are surprisingly unscathed by the flechettes.

He knew then he was dealing with a professional.

There was movement and then a fist materialized from nowhere, as Honor steps back evading the fist and finally caught sight of his opponent, the figure is short and slim, but quick and lethal. He gives ground staying on the defensive as he measures his opponent.

“A woman,” Honor smirks, “how quaint…”

The attacker does not reply as she retaliates with an open palm strike to the chest knocking Honor through the wall into his bathroom. He rolls to his feet, but his attacker was on him, but she left an open and he kicked he to the floor with a vicious sweep and then sprung to his feet.

He tries to stomp in her skull, but she flips back to her feet in one smooth motion. The woman drops into a mantis stance and waits for Honor to strike. The Chinese elite moves forward as he focused his internal energies to the tip of his fingers…

He strikes true, the point of his fingers glowing as he strikes the precise point, to disable his attacker… Honor pauses smug in his victory, “It is ov-”

*SMASH!*

Honor goes flying back into the bathroom and through the wall into his plush bedroom sprawling on his back. Two ribs ache in terrible pain as he tries to stand. His mind racing, as he tries to contemplate why his attack was a failure.

No one could withstand it… his technique was flawless, perfect…

Feet fill his vision as the woman grabs his hair and casually tosses Honor out onto the deck, through the sliding glass doors of his master bedroom with a shatter of glass! Cuts criss-cross the assassin’s toned body as he manages to rise to his feet clutching his side. He wipes the blood from his mouth, and narrows his eyes…

“Who are you?” Honor spits.

Star speaks, her face covered by a black mask, completely covering her face, “You don’t remember me?” her voice replies mockingly.

“I know I would remember a fighter as good as you,” Honor spits, “Now let’s finish this!” Honor springs forward using his last bit of strength to try and kick Star in the head.

But the android watches the attack come in slow motion she moves with the attack, easily evading the last ditch effort. As Honor lands she reaches out with her hand and grabs him by the back of the throat and throws him back into the balcony with a sickening crunch.

Honor feel her hand roughly yank him up by the hair once more, till he was standing limply on his feet. She uses her free hand to remove the black mask, revealing a young woman’s face with red eyes… and short blue hair… he knew those eyes… he remembers the pleasure of smashing in that beautiful face for ruining a rather simple job… but he had killed her… he broke her… his eyes reveal the light of realization.

Star speaks, “You tried to kill Mark, you tried and I stopped you… and you nearly killed me. That was a fatal mistake, Honor.”

Honor laughs, his eyes closed, blood and spittle dribbling from his mouth.

The Next Morning...

The following morning the body of an elite criminal by the name of Honor was found, sprawled on an SUV, the victim of a high rise fall…
