First Post
3 bruises, 0 HP
"OW! Bloody %@#&! Why are all these sods trying to electrocute me?! Devil Ray you skivey GIT." Skylark thinks she is going to need a lot of aspirin after this fight. But more importantly, she is angry! She flies a bit higher to try and make herself a harder target, and tries to hit Devil Ray with a crushing gravitic blast.
(+10 attack, 13 damage on the Blast. It's indirect and subtle, although I don't know if these have any particular benefit in the present situation. It also has a range of 325 feet; Skylark is going to try to see if moving further up will get her out of Devil Ray's range, while keeping him in hers. Elric has pointed out that attacking will lift the gravity effect on Stratos. But it would take something like 10 rounds to even start drowning him anyway).

"I don't think so," Hope says, firing another shot at either Devil ray or the shark.

(Can't move the action without more posts, but talking is fine)
"I had my reasons for letting them hold me. But I need not answer to the likes of you. However, to edify your brutish American mind, I was a person, but now, I am more than a person. I am a city. I am its anguish. I am its dead. I am its ghosts. You American savages made me like this. In the blink of an eye you slaughtered innocent civilians by the tens of thousands...you killed 140,000 people in Hiroshima directly, and who knows how many by cancer over the years...and all to try to show the Russians how big your d*cks were. Today, this city will burn...not because anyone made you do it...You honorless swine will destroy it, because that is what you Americans do..."

"Then you should have killed Harry Truman, @sshole!" Star retorts. "It's not like Japanese hands were clean either - it was a total war all around. I'm not saying that nukes or mass firebombing raids were the right thing to do. Some people in power start a war and then hundreds of thousands die after conscription or as civilian casualties? Real fair. Just like waiting 50 years before you even show up to get your vengeance. How many of people you're hurting were even alive during WW2?"
(From what I've read, 'Shima's first appearance was in the early 90s because he's a Dr. Metropolis villain, despite an origin that occurs 48 years before. Hence Star's comment - if somethings are different that she'd know about, then I can change her speech of course)
"And your whole poetic justice thing of getting Americans to destroy themselves might have a more weight," she adds. "if you just set up the situation - like maybe causing a blackout and hoping for riots or something - instead of using some sort biological agent to mess with people."
She whispers into the comm, "Optic, the spore things are what's making people extra violent, right?" (Star was KO during Optic's initial explanation).
"And I thought it was just the second bomb that was for showing off the Russians. Not the Hiroshima one."

"Hey, Skylark", Nitro asks. "Any way that you can hold me up so I can attack those guys in the water from above?"
(OOC: Skylark's Affects Others Flight power can be used on Nitro with a touch; Skylark could, e.g., shoot Devil Ray then fly over to Nitro and presumably extend the flight to him)

HS starts to answer, but gets cut off by a series of blasts from Wren's ring, sending him flying into the Paradise Hotel sign. The electrical sign explodes in a shower of sparks and broken glass as he moves through it, then moving through the wall into the second floor. The outer wall bursts into flames as he passes through. The Paradise Hotel sign is now silhouetted against the flames of the floor above, creating an eerie and ironic sight. (HS = Stunned and Bruised by Wrens Autofire attack).
Apollo shoots and wounds Megalodon.
Star tries to hit him, but he now has cover and concealment in the hotel, so the orbs miss, running into the hallway. They do, however, begin to turn back around for another try.
Hope sends a bolt into the water but fails to harm either villain.
Devil Ray dodges a strike from Skylark, and fires back with his taser, this time managing to stun Skylark. She stays in the air anyway, though, her innate gravity control functioning on autopilot. Her repulsion field, however, fails, and Megalodon jumps into the air, tackling her, grabbing her with him mouth, and bashing her through the surface of the water. (staggered, stunned, pinned, bruised x2)
Looking to his mobster fan, Nitro says:
"Thanks, man. But can you set that thing on stun? Or, if you've got huge cojones, how about taking a shot at that guy over there" [pointing to HS]
He says "No can do...this thing doesn't have stun. It just has boom." It looks like he was gunna go after HS, but now he can't, so he fires at a skinhead, missing and blasting a fiery hole in a car door.
Nitro and Wren are each attacked by four skinheads, and Nitro takes a bruise. When the thugs realize they can;t hope t dent Wren's force field, they run away, one firing a machine pistol uselessly at Wren. Just about all the rest of the skinheads are now in the casinos themselves.
One of the sniper's bullets bounces off Nitro.
Another ad hoc car bomb goes off by Wren and Nitro, lightly wounding both (injury and bruise to each).
In the casinos, patrons, guards, and gangsters start being effected by the spray and turning randomly violent.
