(argle...lots of stuff happening! So both of the supervillains are out of sight, and there's two jet fighters coming in with bigbigguns...who's down here with me? Any heroes? Any foes? Can I see where those missiles came from?)

They were probably originally from the Raptors, fired from a bit back, but moving faster than the Raptors themselves. Optic, Salix, and Viridian are in the rubble of the top three floors of the office building. Numero Uno is in the burning lab building, stunned. Shooting Star is a bit always, lying down on a hillside. The Sheik is in the water. Nightweaver is in an area she darkened with the two security trucks and a lot of Cholo mooks. There are a number of random mooks on the perimeter, and probably in the warehouse, too. The boat is now quite damaged, and at minimum, two elite visor guards are still standing on the boat, as well as villainous accent guy and spikey haired white guy. In the air are two Raptors and the medivac chopper, which is headed towards the ship from the water. Nitro is on the dock. Angel is down by the docks.
 

Viridian stumbles over to Salix and Optic.

"If you can't get control of those birds," she says. "Tell me -right away-. I can try to give us some extra protection if they fire."

She then waits, watching the planes apprehensively as they close in, weapons clearly primed to engage in wanton destruction. Her hand steals into her pouch, but doesn't come out yet...

(Readying action to encase us in a warded dome if Optic's gambit fails)
 

"Welcome to the darkness. Drop your weapons and surrender. Fail to do so and you will have far less to worry about then wolfmen... Nightweaver says to the thugs in the darkness, trying to use her exahustion to add mysteriousness and forboding to her words.

(Bluff +11)
 

Angel thinks, "Ooh punsihment for my sins?", as 'lightning bolst form the heaven's go boom aroudn him and world the goes all sparkly and explodie....

OOC: Can't do much being back in the land of stun again...
 

Well. I feel stable at least. Probably not a good idea to sit down for too long though. Since I didn't just collapse, I should probably head back now. Let's not get hit again, okay?

Megan skims just off ground, using obstacles to mask her return to combat zone. Stay low. Move slowly. The breeze feels so - focus. Using speed and stealth to hopefully approach undetected, she pulls up next to the side of the warehouse, and peers around the corner to look at the dock. Hey, plant guy is here too. Time to work on the last guys.

A short row orbs spring into underneath the helicopter. Megan breaks into a sweat from the effort of stamping a flight path and target image. This shouldn't seem too dangerous.

(Move Action: move back to the fight at 1/4th speed (2500 ft - 1/2 speed for Exhaustion, 1/2 speed for using Stealth +5. Take cover from the dock and central area.

Standard: Plasma Orbs targeting the evil accent man. Attack +10. Dmg: +8 Autofire 2, Pen +3. Homing 2, Trigger 2 (orbs wait a round before attacking), Indirect 3 (appear beneath the body of the heli, then zoom into the interior through the side opening to attack).


Def 20/12. (plus any cover) Bruised -1. Exhausted. HP 0.)

Meanwhile....

(First a quick retconn. There was room for nine in the van)

Brimstone intended to be on time for the strange meet...really, he did. But unfortunately, an old enemy of his, Demonoid, had other plans. Brimstone found him about to chow down on some humans in an allyway, and a fight ensued.

After a good minute of exchanging blows, Demonoid is suddenly struck by a number of plasma bolts. Looking around, Brimstone sees at least two men in dark clothing on each of the two adjoining roofs, firing plasma rifles of some sort, and two more taking partial cover at the edges of the allyway. Demonoid staggers back in pain, and then suddenly takes a pair of lightning bolts to the chest, throwing him back up against the fence at the ally's end. A pair of glowing electrical orbs appear, and then the form of a human, in black, military-style clothes and sunglasses, heavily armed, flashes into existence behind them, showing the orbs to be in his hands. The orbs fade out. He and the other two men from the edges of the allyway walk towards Brimstone, and the lighting guy says "Yo Hellboy. You're late. Take this (he reaches into his pocket, and throws a commlink to Brimstone). Go to the OxCorp compound, meet up with the rest, bag some wolves, and meet my friend Ms. White in the basement. We'll take care of this guy."

(Enter Brimstone)
 

Optic tries to wrest control of the Raptors from whoever is controlling them, but whoever it is is too strong for him.

(Optic used his one hero point on a reroll, so he has no more to enhance this with)

Viridian stumbles over to Salix and Optic.

"If you can't get control of those birds," she says. "Tell me -right away-. I can try to give us some extra protection if they fire."

She then waits, watching the planes apprehensively as they close in, weapons clearly primed to engage in wanton destruction. Her hand steals into her pouch, and she throws salt into the air. It spreads out to form a dome. The Raptors strafe the dome, but fail to penetrate it. As their stray shots hit the building, they blast huge holes, each rapid-fire round carrying at least as much energy as a tank shell.

The guards remaining in the warehouse charge out to attack Nightweaver (who they can partially detect with their superhuman scent and hearing) and Nitro. All in all, there are about two dozen remaining Cholos. Eight are manning RPGs and the flak gun in the trucks, and eight each go for the two heroes. They have abandoned their guns, using their fists in hybrid form.

Nitro takes a couple good hits that actually hurt him. (Two bruises).

Already tired and bruised, Nightweaver can only deal with so many Cholos, and takes a stout blow to the stomach follow by a blow from behind that smashes her forehead against the side of a truck. She loses her balance and falls flat on her back in a daze. (2 more Bruises, Stunned)

The truck guys cannot target effectively at long range thanks to Nightweaver's darkness, so they do not fire.

Suddenly, the power station near the docks begins sparking,and more small fires appear in the buildings. The, the power station explodes in ashower of sparks, flames, and flying debris. Nitro is thrown down, as are most of the wolves on him (6 of 8 down, one more bruise and stun for Nitro)

The vizor guards shoot Nitro, piercing him with many rounds (2 bruises, staggered, stunned)

The medivac lands on the far edge of the yacht. Villainous accent guy and spikey guy, as well as two new vizor guards from below decks, run to it. V.A.G extends his hand and sand pours out, suddenly coalescing into a sword. With a skillful flourish, he slices the pilot and his seat belt, throwing him out of the chopper, and with another swing, kills the copilot. The other two vizor guards run in and board, holding the medics in the back at gunpoint. Spikey Guy and V.A.G get in the front.

Salix summons his minion.
 

With obvious relief that the warding held, Viridian releases it, causing the salt diagram to blow off into the wind.

"Nightweaver and Nitro need help, now!" she says to Salix and Optic. "Not to mention that helicopter looks like it's getting away!"

She takes off running towards the ailing Nitro. "I'll help Johnny! Salix, try and knock out those wolves before they can finish off Nightweaver! Optic, see what you can do about that chopper!"
 

"Imbackandiseethechopper. Thinktheykilleddrivers. Hostagesinback. Dowhaticanifdon'tpassout. Someonegetmedics," she says softly but with unnatural speed. Umm, I slowed that down, right? Uh, probably not if I don't remember doing it. Oops. Not a good sign. Megan leans into the building, saving her energy for her difficult attacks.

(OOC: Changing some of the parameters of my planned attack above)
