evening, about 1700 hours local time.  He parked his Lamborghini out front, one of the perks of working for Justice Elite: Beta was the six-figure salary.  The place was filled with the regulars, as he made his towards the bar, “Scotch on the rocks please.”“Welcome back, I see you walked out of here with that female earlier, back so soon, you must be quite the playboy,” the bartender replied in smooth Spanish.“Well I have my ways compadre, I have my ways, but I really wanted to know is if, this woman came here alone, or well if she was here with friends?” Roundhouse replied.“She came alone amigo, I know cause I was thinking about trying to get her attention myself, but alas, I just couldn’t the chica to bite, eh?  Not like you, why you ask?” he replied.“Just wondering, tell yah what if anything comes to light in your head, give me a call,” Roundhouse finished his drink and slid his number, and about $2,000 U.S., over to the bartender, “call me if you hear anything, about this woman.”The bartender smiled, “Don’t worry mi amigo I got you covered.”Meanwhile back at the convention center, Black Charger decided to walk in the front and get himself acquainted with the local workers, diligently trying to finish the last bit of work for the fashion show.  Order decided to check the roof, landing and using her preternatural senses to sniff the air, thankfully her keen senses sensed another person in the area.  A woman by the smell, Order dropped down closest to the smell only to see a woman of Chinese descent slide through the roof into the building below.  Order cursed, it was the Pantheon agent known as Phase, a past opponent, and a rained killer with the ability to turn her body incorporeal, and still attack her targets via her ghost pistols, twin magnums she used with extreme prejudice.Order flew from the roof and into the convention center via a side window, smashing her way through in typical Order style.  The workers inside all looked up and instantly recognized the new hero, some claiming they even had her poster, but Order was not up for a public appearance, this was all business.  Order shouted to the workers to flee the building, as she watched Phase continue down through the air right behind Black Charger, smiling mockingly.  Order shouted, “Behind you!”Black Charger spun around, “What, what!” he turned back to Order, “I don’t see anything!”“She went through the floor, I am going to chase her down!” Order replied flying towards the doorway that lead to the basement.Black Charger sighed, and continued to make sure all the workers got outside, alright.  Meanwhile downstairs in the darkly lit basement storage area, Order tried to stalk Phase, in the darkness via scent.  Feeling that she might be out of her element Order called Black Charger, “Get down here right now, I need your help!”Black Charger, shifted into his obsidian form and smashed through the floor, dropping right into a large storage area filled with crates.  Black Charger looked around, using his blind sight to keep him abreast of his surroundings.  He felt the cool steel of a pistol on the back of his head, “Justice Elite, eh, you guys are a bunch of amateurs,” the husky female voice replied in broken English.Black Charger spun around, his obsidian fist passing right through Phase as she lurched back firing her pistols in quick succession, both shots hit home, but thankfully Black Charger was able to absorb one of the blasts, and boost up his regenerative abilities as the other bullet struck home more true, biting into his chest.  Black Charger rushed forward trying to punch the ghost-like elite, but was unable to connect, as she continued to fire shots into his chest, most not having an effect besides keeping the tough elite off-balance, though he used his form to deflect quite a few shots.Order shattered the wall as she rushed into the storage room and engaged Phase again unable to hurt the woman, lacking any attack that could harm the ghost-like elite.  Meanwhile Roundhouse pulled up in the parking lot, only to see complete chaos, as the workers rushed out of the building, curiously he stopped to question one, “Hey what is going here?”“Justice Elite: Beta is in there, they told us to evacuate, but I am not sure why, you better go too!” the man replied.“Well I left something inside, I have to find it,” as Roundhouse began to sense something not quite right about the stranger.“I don’t think so,” as the man changed his frame into that of pure stone, and swung his massive fist at the agile elite.  Roundhouse danced out of the way of the granite-like elite as he retaliated with a spinning kick to the head, only to see the elite smile.  His attack did not affect the granite warrior at all.  He followed up the attack with a spinning, leaping kick, but still nothing.  The massively strong elite countered with a powerful punch, but once again the nimble Roundhouse, spun away from the attack.Back in the basement, Order decided that another plan of attack was needed.  She flew upwards through the ceiling , and then through the roof, and still higher as she looked down on the scene below.  She spotted Roundhouse in vicious combat with the granite-like elite and decided that she would go to help him out.  Meanwhile Phase seeing that it would be tough going against Black Charger fled upwards through the ceiling as well, leaving Black Charger to rush back upstairs and towards the parking lot where the melee would become intense indeed.Between Order and Roundhouse, the granite elite stood no chance, the both of them pummeled him into unconsciousness, as Phase rose up and began firing her pistols at Roundhouse.  Not surprisingly, the agile martial artist spun in the air, easily evading the hail of spectral gunfire.  Order continued to pummel the dazed granite-like elite, after noticing his wounds continued to heal no matter what kind of punishment he was placed under.  It was about then that the police showed up on the scene, though powerless to stop the fight, they hoped that they could keep it from getting out of hand.  An aerodyne owned by CNN circled overhead while a similar police aerodyne circled as well.  Justice Elite: Beta was being filmed live, over the CNN news video feed.  Roundhouse trying to put the massively tough granite-like hero away rushed towards a police car, jumped on the hood using it as a makeshift spring board and used his incredible leaping abilities for a wrestling like elbow maneuver, though impressive in appearance had little effect on the tough elite.  Phase turned her attention to Order and let the bullets fly, injuring the elite heroine with her spectral bullets.  Black Charger, rushed out the front door into the melee, just as Synapse made her untimely appearance descending from the sky, taking in the scene.  The stage was set for an out and out brawl.Black Charger focused his attentions on Phase at first, but was still unable to hurt her, as she simply smiled at the obsidian elite.  She smiled seeing Synapse arrived and unleashed more bullets into the chest of Black Charger, to little effect but kept the elite off balance.  Synapse tried to use her mental powers on Roundhouse, but the stalwart hero was able to shake off the attack, with ease, his mind much tougher then he looked.  Phase shouted to Synapse, “Get them off Granite, I can handle these amateurs!”Granite, the aptly named granite-like elite, continued to struggle under the assault of Order, as she finally knocked him out with a swift punch from her hardened gauntlets.  Granite folded under the blow, and he laid on the ground, breathing, but out cold.  Phase seeing Granite go down, focused her attacks on Order, but the Russian elite’s armor kept her safe from any actual harm.  Black Charger acted, seeing the threat from Synapse, he picked up a delivery truck and chucked it at the floating Pantheon agent.  The truck exploded around Synapse, as she shielded herself using her telekinetic force field to great effect.  Despite the blast, she was still alive, without a scratch.  Roundhouse decided to get flashy and rushed forward leapt onto a light post and bounced high into the air doing a makeshift bicycle kick at Synapse, her force field though protected her from any serious harm.  She turned her attention to Black Charger and fried his mind, with her intense mental blast as she continued to press the assault.  Order flew upwards, surging forward with purpose as she slammed her gauntlets into  Synapse, but was unable to break the powerful psychic’s concentration.  Synapse pressed the assault on the now unconscious Black Charger, as Phase focused her ghost-pistols on Roundhouse who still evaded with excellent skill.  Roundhouse though not undaunted leapt into the air using Order as a brace he leapt out and tried to grab and fling Synapse to the ground using his momentum, but the maneuver failed in bringing the psychic crashing to Earth.  But he broke her concentration, as Roundhouse dropped back down to the ground.  Synapse turned her attention to Order, as she flew upward another thirty feet, and broke Order’s will with ease frying the elite’s mind with a mental assault, causing the elite to fall from the sky, and crash down towards the earth.Synapse called out, “Time to retreat Phase, leave Granite, we can’t save him.”Phase nodded in reply as Black Charger shrugged off unconsciousness and rushed towards Phase using every last ounce of effort he had.  Amazingly his strike punched into her body sending the incorporeal assassin reeling.  She quickly fled through the ground, as Synapse flew high into the sky, as Order recovered from the mental assault.  The heroes of the day, quickly apprehended Granite, and allowed the local authorities to handle putting him in custody, as they contemplated several questions in their minds.  It was time that they consulted with Malcolm once more, and took a well-needed rest, it was not surprising that each elite retreated to their respective rooms, for a dip in the Jacuzzi.  Things just got interesting.The conclusion is on its way...</blockquote>
