(...and now comes the next wave...same round, readied actions...)

Apollos sees a man under water in a black diving suit, a cape, and a helmet with a glowing red line where his eyes are. He kind of looks like a stingray. By the time Apollo sees him, he is too late. A pair of needles streak from the water, striking Apollo. An electrical current travels between them, sending shocks through his entire body. He falls into the water (stunned by the stun power, requires recovery saves unlike the regular stun).

Meanwhile, as Star hovers near the water's surface, a shark with webbed human limbs jumps out of the water, surging from the depths with partial aid of a grav belt, tail slaps her in the face. This time she fails to stay in the air and splashes into the water. Just as she sinks below the surface she passes out. (KO, staggered, stunned, another 2 bruises)

(I swear, you are just VERY unlucky on your rolls. )

Next round begin...

On the boardwalk, a car's gas tank suddenly explodes, sending poeple running for cover. Some men get out of vans. Skin heads. Armed, some with bats, some with guns, some also with spray cans blasting into the air. they don't have masks on, but if thats the spores, its quite possible that an infection would not actually alter their behavior anyway.

 

[G. Skylark]

"Oh yeah, catchin' blokes what fall out should be BLOODY HELL!!!" She careens through the air from the explosions. She is rather relieved at how lightly she is injured. Then she is dismayed at what happens to Apollo and Star.

"Skylark to all points! Apollo and Star got jumped by some bloody aquatic super-buggers at the river! They're drowning! Can you hear me, Star? Apollo?" (Skylark uses Gravity Control to lift Apollo and Star up out of the river; if they are no longer visible, she will descend to where she can see them or feel them using Mass Sense. She will prioritize Star if necessary).

EDIT: "Oh! And there are Nazi wannabes on the boardwalk!"

Nitro pauses for a second to think. If Star didn't set the explosion off, how did it happen? Do we know anyone who can explode things with his mind?

"It's got to be Murder Mouse. Blowing things up is one of his powers, and terrorist attacks fit his style- he's not going to be content, with, say, stealing a piece of cheese."

Nitro hears Skylark presumably also point out the skin heads on the boardwalk. "Wren, can you teleport Optic and me over to deal with the skin heads? Then you flying types can deal with the guys in the river."

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Wren: 2 HP left, Tough +14, Fort +11

Wren: 2 HP left, Tough +14, Fort +11

Using a HP, Wren shakes off the Fatigue that his last action imbued upon him. Hearing the new series of events, Wren can only hope that Star and Apollo were not dead. Hearing Nitro ask about the teleporting over to the boardwalk, ,he acts quickly.

"Hope, I'll be right back. Nitro and Optic are needed on the boardwalk."

With but a thought, and knowledge that there was going to be trouble all around soon enough, Wren teleports to the boardwalk, with Nitro and Optic. Immediately upon arrival, Wren notes the baddies, and their spray cans...

[sblock=If Teleport location is MORE than 600 feet...]If distance from his spot to the boardwalk is more than 600 feet, he will use the Teleport as a Full Round to get Nitro and Optic to the boardwalk. Wren also takes account of the new surroundings, asking Hope, "If things are under control there now, get out while you can. Looks like the party has moved to the boardwalk. Otherwise, I will be there in a few seconds. Star and Apollo seem to be in the river." [/sblock]

[sblock=If Teleport Range is LESS than 600 feet...] Wren will teleport the two allies to the boardwalk, take an account of the surroundings (Standard Action capable), and then teleport back instantly to aid Hope.

I was hoping to gain the standard action to do something useful, yet with the rules, I can't switch powers in an array during the same round. OH well, what kind of gear is on me right now? Some type of stun gun perhaps? Anything is better than wasting the standard action I have the ability to use... But, I don't think it's less than 600 feet from where I am in the stadium, so moot point.[/sblock]

 

[kirinke]

Saint launches herself into the air and flies towards the river, using her ability to control air to telikenetically snatch Appollo and Star out of harm's way.

 

[Elric]

"You fascist thugs are going down!"

Wow, John, I bet no one has ever used that one before

After getting teleported to the boardwalk, Nitro tries to get into position to Shockwave (11 dmg, 110 ft Cone) as many of the skin heads as possible without hitting bystanders (using his move action to jump if necessary), then uses Move-by Action to end up not right next to all of the spores/possibly behind partial cover if it looks like they have projectile spores that could reach him.

 

[kirinke]

Saint reaches the river and Skylark. "Sky, cover me please. I'm going to get Apollo and Star out of there," she said after a quick assessment of the situation.

Using her air control ablity, Hope snatches the two downed and nearly drowned superheroes out of harms way.

Reading your OOC -

Wren notes Hope's intent on going to the boardwalk as well, and takes her along with Nitro and Optic. Turning to Optic, he asks, "Optic, can you get a location on Star and Apollo with your visor? Lock onto their equipment signals or something?"

 

[kirinke]

"Thanks," Hope said, looking concerned. "If I can't get them both out, Sky will have to get the other." she added.
