Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread III

Suddenly, a blue, humanoid creature of pure energy phases through the the floor right behind Nitro. It's Hiroshima Shadow. "YOU THINK YOU COULD KILL ME!!!," he roars, and strikes Nitro, sending him flying into the status of Adam and shattering it at its center point. Water spurts in all directions (injury, bruise, stunned, energy damage)

Ouch!

"I've never seen you before in my life. You must have me confused with someone else. I think you want the guy in purple and black over there." Nitro quips after he gets thrown into the statue of Adam.

Skylark places Star, weightless, in the air, while dropping the water back into the river. Floating protectively between Stratos and Star, Skylark is gripped by fear! Stratos! The bloody Crime League?! An' he's their leader, right? If he gets me with a bloody stroke o' lightning I'm done! She grits her teeth from the pain of her injuries, and trades fear for anger! "Doctor Stratos, I presume? I read yer dissertation, it was RUBBISH!!!"

(Assuming Apollo gets Star to safety, Skylark will make Stratos as heavy as Gravity Control 13 can. Hopefully this will put him into the river and cause falling damage. If Apollo doesn't get Star out of here, Skylark flies them both into the hotel through a window).
 

Hope smirks behind her mask and takes out the closest bad guy she can (that's not Stratos), or at least levels a powerful lightning blast at the unfortunant snot.

"I'd say 'Nice to meet you,' but I'd be lying. Name's Saint by the way, forgive me for not attacking you, but I already know it's fair useless," she chuckled. "Your buddies on the other hand, don't react well to electricity I believe," she said mildly, though something in her chest constricted.

Secrets, so many secrets. Her investigations had led her to believing that he might be her father, her mother was unknown. She never found out, but suspected oh suspected that she was a villian too, maybe a powerful one.

Nitro, 1 HP, Bruised/Injured (energy)

(Assuming Wren uses Inspire on Nitro, which seems like the current plan)

Nitro shakes off the stun with an HP and springs to his feet. Don't try taking on glowing energy dude. That would probably hurt. Then he takes a running jump towards Blackstar, trying to punch him, grab him and slam him into the pavement. "Eat pavement, Purple Star dude!"

Acrobatics to stand as free action (1d20 17=36)

All-Out Attack for 5, Charge, Power Attack for 5. Use Improved Grab on a hit.

Then use Extra Effort to take another attack, at the same bonuses.

First attack roll: Attack on Blackstar ( 9 base, 2 Charge, 4 Inspire, 5 PA, -5 AOA= 15, damage 14 5= 19). (1d20 15=29)

Grapple check ( 28 normal, 4 Inspire) (1d20 32=42)

Second Attack on Blackstar ( 9 base, 2 Charge, 4 Inspire, 5 PA, -5 AOA= 15, damage 14 5= 19). (1d20 15=20)
 

Wren says:
"Everyone keep each other covered and don't work alone! Let's work together this time...Trust me..."

Thinking quickly, and knowing that they each had their hands full, Wren decides to give his allies a little bit of help.

"...and through all things, there is the power of life... power of light... and the power to live...take these as gifts... do not take them for granted..."

With but the quick thought and few words, Wren bestows the power of his own innate powers onto each of his allies that would make need of it.

Apollo sees the famous Dr. Stratos appear on the scene and immediately takes the opportunity to blast him. He summons his bow, draws back the string, and an arrow of light appears. It streaks towards Dr. Stratos, penetrating his deflecting winds and striking him in the chest. The lightning controller goes flying (Stunned and bruised)/

As she sleeps, Star suddenly sees purple lines floating and curving on the dark, spinning, background. They swirl around creating circles, which capture other lines until they create pentagrams. Once each fully form, they become portals, and a women jumps out, seemingly jumping into Star. Each time one hits, she opens her eyes momentarily. One of them is Viridian. Once the last hits, she wakes up. her vision, however, is oddly tinted slightly purple. Others notice that her eyes are glowing purple.

"I'd say 'Nice to meet you,' but I'd be lying, Hope says to Stratos. Name's Saint by the way, forgive me for not attacking you, but I already know it's fair useless," she chuckled. "Your buddies on the other hand, don't react well to electricity I believe," she said mildly, though something in her chest constricted.

Hope smirks behind her mask and fires a lightning bolt into the water. The Water spreads the electricity out and hits both Megalodon and Devil Ray. Only Megalodon is hurt, however, and only a bit singed (1 bruise).

Skylark places Star, weightless, in the air, while dropping the water back into the river. Star is waking up but doesn't have her flight back up yet. Floating protectively between Stratos and Star, Skylark is gripped by fear! Stratos! The bloody Crime League?! An' he's their leader, right? If he gets me with a bloody stroke o' lightning I'm done! She grits her teeth from the pain of her injuries, and trades fear for anger! "Doctor Stratos, I presume? I read yer dissertation, it was RUBBISH!!!"

Skylark uses her gravity control to dunks Dr. Stratos into the water (hit and stunned again).

Megalodon jumps up to hit Hope and misses. Devil Ray shoots at Skylark, and hits, but she grits through the electrical blast. Devil Ray darts out of sight underwater.

NItro strikes and tackles Black Star, holding him down and striking him again across the face (2 bruises, staggered, stunned, hp for Nitro from a reroll by BS)

With Black Star being handled, Optic turns to Hiroshima Shadow, and blasts him with with his eye laser, sending the energy being flying. (bruised and stunned).

Optic gets shot again, stumbling and nearly falling (hp spent to avoid very bad result). He still can't find the sniper.

Hiroshima Shadow shakes off the damage and blasts Optic (hp for optic) with a bolt of radiation, setting his battlesuit aflame and throwing him into the water (disabled, staggered, stunned, injured, bruised x2). Fortunately, the water puts out the fire.

Another car explodes near Wren. He manages to take the hit for the bystanders, absorbing the force with his force field (no dmg).
 

As she sleeps, Star suddenly sees purple lines floating and curving on the dark, spinning, background. They swirl around creating circles, which capture other lines until they create pentagrams. Once each fully form, they become portals, and a women jumps out, seemingly jumping into Star. Each time one hits, she opens her eyes momentarily. One of them is Viridian. Once the last hits, she wakes up. her vision, however, is oddly tinted slightly purple.

Star is waking up but doesn't have her flight back up yet.

...Thess? Megan wakes up from her head injury/vision, coughing violently. Disoriented in the reduced gravity, Star thrashes around in suspended water. What's going on, that was really weird. Did something happen, or was my brain just frying from repeated head hit and drowning? I see ... purple? Which could go either way. And... I CAN'T FLY! I CAN'T try to focus fly. So I'm definitely broken now. :( But why did I think of Thess? - Because she died since you suck, just like you're sucking now.

Star narrows her eyes and concentrates on her power. Trying to keep everything all controlled and neat and safe just made me weak; got my friend killed. :rant: A cluster of her plasma orbs appears in the air above the water bubble, then spiral inwards and condense into a larger, overcharged sphere. The unstable ball of energy is a slower to accelerate than her normal attacks but builds up speed as it arcs up into the air then dives down towards Blackstar, barely missing Nitro. While the first projectile is in flight, Star works creating more, evidently planning to hammer the ex-Star Knight through the pavement.

[sblock]
Standard Action: Plasma Orbs against Blackstar. Plasma Control +8 Autofire 2 (1 for 1, max 4), Penetrating 3 (4/rank, +3) not for undoing effects), Homing 2 (2 extra chances), Indirect 3 (any angle), Precise, Accurate

Power Attack for 5. Attack: +9: 21 Not counting the bonus for attacking a stunned target, so potentially 23.

Damage starts at 13.

Precise Shot, Precise and Indirect to deal with the grapple and prone.

Def: 23/14 (cover from water?) Toughness +9/+10 DR. Bruised x4. Staggered. HP 1?

I don't think Displacement would work if she can't fly yet.[/sblock]

Wren - 0HP left Toughness +14, Fort +11< Refl +9, Will +14

Seeing Star come out of it, Wren's faith is bolstered. Things were not as bad as he had thought, and they had a chance at managing this battle. But, there was still luck to contend with...

Turning to the wounded Optic, he notes that he keeps getting sniped from the water. Also, there were other enemies there in the water, so it would be best to get him out quickly. Teleporting quickly to Optic, Wren then immediately Teleports straight back to where he was before, with Optic now out of the water (Teleport, Turnabout Feat, Move Action).

As he does, he quickly scans the area to try and spot the hiding sniper (Free action, Notice +13[7,13] = (20))

Then, as he appears in his place, Wren turns to Optic, who is not all into the fight, and washes him over with a burst of cosmic healing, for good measure.

"Come on, we're not out of this yet!"

[sblock=Healing used withOUT Hero Point]
Due to OOC clarification, I will teleport as move, notice anything if possible, then Heal as Standard action. Healing at Rank 10 for Optic[/sblock]

Wren will ALSO ready to use his Interpose on Optic, to negate those easy sniping attacks that are sure to come... (Interpose feat)

"Wicked shooting!" Skylark is now a fan of Apollo. She hardly expected to get Stratos so swiftly, and feels relieved but strangely embarrassed about piledriving him like a chump. "Erm, 'ope the blighter doesn't drown...."

"Ah, I'm gonna keep 'im underwater for a tick. See whot I can do about Mr. and Mrs. Fish 'n Chips down there, too. Stay clear of the water, mates!"

(Skylark will maintain the Gravity Control effect around Stratos at Area 11, in an attempt to catch Devil Ray or Man-Shark in the radius around Stratos. Even if they aren't in range, the effect is Subtle so maybe they'll wander into it if they try to rescue Stratos. If this will catch allies in the radius of the effect, Skylark will switch over to single-target Telekinesis on the array to keep Stratos down. And since she's using the Gravity Control array for attacking, Skylark should probably physically hold up Star, if she isn't flying yet. Sorry Star.).

Hope floats in the air, boyed by the air currents she naturally controlls and is ready to attack or defend, depending on what the enemies do.
 

Nitro, 1 HP, Bruised/Injured (energy)

Spend an HP to buy off the fatigue from Extra Effort.

"You know" Nitro comments/taunts "the way you talk I figure you'd have put up a better fight."

If Blackstar is still conscious and isn't stunned, try to damage him through the grapple (grapple +28, 14 damage).

Blackstar is currently prone from getting stunned by Nitro, it seems. If Blackstar is stunned as well (by Star), instead attack him outside the grapple, power attacking for 5.

If Star KOs Blackstar, then I'll want to see what else has happened before declaring an action.
