"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!"Optic tries to shoot off the tail rotors on the escaping chopper, but misses.  Looking around,he finds that Angel and Nitro are down, Salix and a heavily-drugged Viridian are with him, Nightweaver is somewhere in the darkness and not answering her comm, and Shooting Star is flying around somewhere in relatively bad shape.Viridian manages to climb down from the building and runs towards the boat. Suddenly, the two guards are attacked by ropes of energy and wrap around their arms, legs, and guns, and  immobilize them.Nitro begins to get up.Well. I feel stable at least, Megan thinks. 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. "Imbackandiseethechopper. Thinktheykilleddrivers. Hostagesinback. Dowhaticanifdon'tpassout. Someonegetmedics," Shooting Star 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.Plasma balls appear below the chopper and track it.  By the time they attack EAG, he will have noway of knowing who did it.The remaining Cholos in the compound realize that they can do very little about the heroes, and are a bit concerned that buildings are blowing up. The perimeterguards seemto have already fled.  The ones near Nightweaver pick her up off the ground and proceed to beat her until they jump on the trucks, which drive towards the road.  It is a tight squeeze, but the two trucks can each fit 8.  It seems they are fleeing.  Nightweaver collapses, barely holding onto consciousness (Total: 6 Injuries, 10 Bruises, Stunned, Staggered, Disabled, Exhausted)Numero Uno jumps out of the burning building, landing where Salix's Minion and Viridian is, near Nitro.  He mostly ignores his flaming fur.  He says to Nitro "Get up, esse.  We have a fight to finish.  Still down there?  Fine, I'll tidy up the battlefield."  He bashes his fist through Salix's minion, causing him to explode into a shower of wood and leaves, then turns around and slugs Viridian with a wide, lurching blow, putting his full strength into it (Full Power Attack for the round, takedown attack to hit both).  Viridian goes flying through the warehouse wall, coming to rest in a pile of boxes (Bruised, Injured, Staggered, Stunned, Disabled).From one of the trucks, an RPG is fired at the building with Optic and Salix in it.  They manage to dodge the blast entirely, but the building is becoming increasingly unstable.The jets continue to strafe the building, both hitting Salix and Optic with several rounds and destroying yet another floor.  They are so heavily armored that they are not hurt, but the building begins to collapse.  Salix jumps out safely and remains unhurt, but Optic gets buried (1 Bruise).Rather than leave, the two left by Nitro draw their machine pistols and spray him with bullets while he is down.  (2 Bruises)Then the cowardly dog-men start running away in a series of jumps as Nitro gets up.The guards in the helicopter start shooting at the group, but they do not hit anyone.  They continue to fly out to sea.Angel heals himself and gets back up.Salix manages to hit one of the trucks on their way out with his spore bomb, knocking out the driver and others, causing it to go out of control and crash into the truck shelter, igniting a gas pump, and causing a massive explosion, followed by secondary explosions as the munitions stocks in the truck start going off.</blockquote>
