Guardians -Welcome to the Wild Wild West

[Synchronicity]

Chris starts upright with a cry of "What the hell?!" His habitual smile is nowhere to be see, his face a mask of disbelieving shock. Almost before anyone can blink, Chris is kneeling next to Lindsay looking horrified. He reaches out as if to try and pick her up, but swiftly thinks better of it, refraining from touching her. 'Moving her right now might kill her! Who...why?!' Standing up, Chris grabs hold of Kevin, shouting at the other man."Take my powers and get a medic! Now!" Having given that instruction, Chris turns to look at where the spears are coming from, his expression incredibly angry. He blurs away in that direction, the ever-present trail of light slowly fading behind him.

OOC: [Half action]: Loses it checking on Lindsay and shouting at Kevin
[Half action]: Ready an action to move 70ft towards the origin of the spears as soon as Kevin has mimicked my powers. (i.e., Initiative count 9 assuming Kevin mimics them on his action.) If the spear throwers are within 70ft of my position, I'll Move-By Attack the closest of them at attack +7, damage +9S.
[Free action]: Declare Dodge vs everyone.

Brandon Laine (Phoenix) 4/4 0/S 0/L Armor +8

"Take my powers and get a medic! Now!"

"I can heal, but I need blasted by fire," Brandon called out. A red-orange glow emanated from Brandon as he drew on the powers of the living fire. "If he copies me and blasts me, I can heal her . . . I've done it before."

OOC: Flight to move where ever Lindsay and Kevin are, ready to heal once he is blasted.

Confident enough in Brandon's ability to help the brother and sister, Linda tosses her food aside and starts to run in the direction the spears came from.

"Sound the base alert," she shouts at one of the cooks.

Once she makes it outside, anyone/thing making target practice out of the NAA's Guardians will get charged and pummelled, and to heck with defense.

Current round move my maximum running distance to get outside. Once she's able, strike +8 (+11 to hit using +4 all out attack).

Lucy, smirked at Steve, catching what he really had meant to say, and she didn't think it was her smiling face, though guys had done stupid stuff to get her to smile at them. She raises an eybrow in confusion as Steve jumps in front of his sister, and then gasps in horror as the spear magically appears in his chest. "No....what...whats going on... I thought the exercises were over." she mutters in shock, freezing for a moment. It was different in real life to see stuff like this happen.

She runs over to Sandra, intending to help her, but not really knowing how. It occurs to her to be frightened but she dismisses it, she had been shot and been ok, there was no way a spear was going to do more then a bullet, or more then a gernade for that matter, she sort of hovers over the 2 siblings, trying to help, and also in case more spears were coming in.

OOC: Total Defense + moving to Lindsey

Carbon, 4/4, 0S/0L, 0

"Take my powers and get a medic! Now!"

With the characteristic flash of light at the contact point between Chris and Kevin, Kevin instantly changes appearance and looks like Chris once again. Kevin turns to tear off, searching the grounds for a medic when...

"I can heal, but I need blasted by fire. If he copies me and blasts me, I can heal her . . . I've done it before."

Kevin halts in a brief moment of confusion, not certain what to do. Then he reaches out and places a hand squarely on Brandon's chest.

Lightspeed races off northward quickly slamming through the door to the inside of the base. A path of light and dust follow him as he rips through the base. A loud keening sound pierces his ears as he sees the door at the end of the tunnel.

Lucy had never seen real blood. How many people had died in the movies? How many times had she died in a movie? Pushing it all away she focused on Lindsey’s quickly paling face.

Whisper moans as her eyes look up at the assembled people around her
What’s happening? That burger doesn’t like me.
A smile of white and crimson slowly spreads across her face.

Aztec stands up and grows to her 10’ tall gold self as she stands protectively over Lindsey. ”What is that on the spear?

Phoenix waits for Carbon’s touch and fire as he looks down at Steve’s broken form. Wrapped around the very end of the spear is a yellow sheet of paper.

Longhorn goes tearing after Lightspeed an almost visible trail of anger following her.

Carbon first touches Chris and then Phoenix and his body quickly morphs from one to the other. Steve moans as a wave of heat cascades across his skin causing his light skin to turn pink and sweat to begin dripping.

Steve’s eyes blink open and a grimace shows on his face. ”Help Lindsey first.

Banjax just looks down for a second as everyone burst into motion. “Probably another stupid test from el dictator-o.” He quickly presses a button and a blue shimmering field envelops him. A second flash of blue shoots up around him and then he is gone.

Everyone cringes as they look up into the sky for another hail of dedly rock, but none is forth coming.

 

[Super Girl]

Lucy quickly kneels over Lindsay and brushes some of the girls her off her face, trying to make her comfortable, "Its okay honey, your gonna be fine, you and Steve, we have some of the best doctors in the world in the military, and Brandon has healing powers, it'll all be fine. Linda and lightspeed are out looking for the guy who did this, and when they find him, well, the Guardians Guard our own too, it'll be taken care of sweetie, just relax and try not to move." Lucy tells the siblings as reassuringly as possible. (Diplomacy check take 10, 25)

"Sandra, I think Brandon and Kevin can help Steve and Lindsy better then we can, and Linda and Chris are going to need our help. I don't think they should get into a fight all alone against the people who did this. Lets go help 'em out." Lucy says anger at what had happned twisting her pretty face into a grim mask, her hands were wet with whispers blood, and she was already moving before she had finished talking. She ran out after the Texan in a full on sprint, intending to keep up the pace until she caught whoever it was and force fed him his own negative energy.

OOC: Sprint, move, whatever, as fast as possible.

Carbon, 4/4, 0S/0L, 0

"Brandon, what if you shoot me too? Then can I heal one while you heal the other?"

Kevin, wearing a Brandon face, looks at Brandon expectantly.

 

[Keia]

Phoenix [Brandon Laine] HP: 4/4, 0S / 0L Armor +8

Brandon's eye's fixed on the paper, and angled himself so that Kevin's blast would not hit the paper or the spear.

"Brandon, what if you shoot me too? Then can I heal one while you heal the other?"

"Done," Phoenix replied. He looked at the effect that fire was having on his body and didn't want to press matters. "Don't stay in that form any long than you have too. There are side effects. Blast me first, then I'll blast you. I've done this before, you haven't. If I blast you and you got down, we're screwed."

OOC: Brandon waited to get blasted, absorbed what he could (free action), then healed Lindsay. If he has an action, left he will blast Kevin.

 

[Gideon]

Initiative: Attacker-26, Lightspeed - 24, Tornado - 23(3 rounds away from group), Karma - 21, Whisper - 17, Aztec - 12, Phoenix - 11(+10 Init mod), Longhorn - 11(+7 init mod), Carbon, Leprechaun- 9, Banjax 7

What the hell do they have that makes a noise that loud? Sirens are blaring in the most god awful annoying pitch you could ever think of.

Lightspeed bursts out of the door and into the gathering gloom of evening. A blur of motion some 100 feet away draws Lightspeed’s attention. Whatever it is, it moves fast.
You also see a tiny air dervish coming from the other side of the base and a squad of 3 battle armor is flying in from the wall.


Karma and Aztec start their journey through the building and the obvious path left by Chris’s dash.

Phoenix blasts Phoenix and then Phoenix returning the favor blasts Phoenix. The original Phoenix softly touches Lindsey and a soft red glow envelops her as the light passes the hole in her chest is now just a round charred mark. Leprechaun mouths a soft moan as his attention was pealed to his sister.

OOC: Whisper CON check of 20 (+8 from healing, +7 luck from Steve) is 24. Succeeds. Leprechaun goes to dying for using his powers.

Phoenix (the poser) runs over to Steve and watches as the light from his eyes starts to fade away. Leprechaun is dead. Carbon begins to cry as the salty tears burn off on his Phoenix skin.

A very very soft moan escapes Steve’s lips. He is alive but barely. A mental scream rocks all of you back on your feet as Whisper comes running over to her brother.
Heal him! HEAL HIM!

Her mental shouts rattle in all of your heads as she beats her hands on Carbon’s chest. You smell burning flesh.

OOC: Leprechaun’s CON check 10 to not die is 11. Succeeds. Lindsey takes 1 lethal hit from the energy field around Carbon.

Longhorn travels through the destruction that Lightspeed’s passing left. Papers float in the air, drawers on a couple cabinets are pulled out. You can’t help but think your momma woulda been stompin mad about this.
