Out of their League

[Anthr4xus]

ERASIU began mapping and analyzing the intruders as soon as they appeared, electing to forgo the study of the power fluctuations as they appeared to be related to this new threat.  Internal manufacturing units began modifying and programming laser drones for deployment.  ERASIU had assumed that the track-suited Cannon would be a speedster, so the teleportation caused a momentary delay in the threat analysis. 

 

The robot fired off a quick text to Furnace that read, "Secure Mr. Mars and return to assist, please."  At the same time it stepped between the villians and the newly formed Emerald League.  Amping up the volume to thunderous levels, ERASIU-1 announced, "You are trespassers on private property and committing assault!  Stand down and surrender!"  While facing the larger group of threats, several small drones deployed from it's back and zoomed into position to begin firing at Cannon.

With a full blown battle happening,  Her Cyber Shield floats between ERASIU's attack and the group of Villains, as a Hardlight shield appears and blocks the shots. Cyber Knight quickly takes command of her side.  "Cannon blast a hole in that window so Gigantor can move, I don't want him fighting in here.  Gigantor get outside and be a distraction, Ink and I will focus on Maxmillian Mars retrieval.   Cannon deal with the bot"    

As the lasers hit Cannon he chuckles the lasers energy is being disseminated and stored in his own battery.   It's nice to see the latest model says Cannon ,  As he reveals under his lip a product code.  To bad I know everything you can do, before even you do, says Cannon as he points the palm of his hand at the window, a sonic energy pulse goes out and the window shatters.  Cannon smiles wickedly at Captain Robot, hey this one is Mine!! he yells to the others, none of them acknowledge his comment but there notice of you drops significantly. 

 Gigantor drops from the window, as his body begins to grow larger his skin is shifting as he begins to grow large patches of hair quickly as he grows into an almost 150-foot large Gorilla.  He beats his chest, in defiance.  Cyber Knight flies by the Gorilla and says don't grow any larger, we need you to maintain control !!" Gigantor Nods before he begins to wind up one large Monkey sized FIST.

Ink slides around the bottom of the floor of the room making his way to Maxmillion mars as he gets close to Stygia he explodes like paint hitting concrete and, turns himself into a whirling black ball of hardened Inky Blades like razors as he moves toward her.

The last member of their team turns to face Lab Rat, I see you do quite well for yourself in the future I wonder if that's true for the PAST as Time bends around you Labrat you scream before you wind up in  Transylvania in the 1800s , over the course of 2 months you are running and hiding from the citizens of Transylvania as they form multiple mobs with fire and pitchfork to get you, at one point you even team up with Van Helsing and  fight Dracula it all takes place in a moment, during this excursion that you, at the time don't know it but you have a run in with Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley, The writer of Frankenstein the book is never written and instead she writes about a large Rat monster in Transylvania, This has long term effects for the Horror genre,  Labrat would land in a slump not far from Time master on your return trip sort of like reverse Amnesia you remember everything that happened before you left for 2 months in time.,  I wonder when you'll end up next he gives a very weird laugh before fiddling with his time belt.

Cyber Knight as she is flying around outside will be trying to hack into Maxmillion Mars's tech.

Maxmillian Mars looks upset but not scared at all.

Furnace didn't see ERASIU's text, owing to having wandered outside and not picked up his tablet. But the appearance of the villains was hard to miss.

Thankfully, they hadn't seemed to have noticed him yet (or had and were actively looking for him therefore couldn't see him? Something to ponder later.)

Just as well, the dragon didn't know what that guy in the top hat had done to Lab Rat, just that it had involved a space/time trip of some kind.

 

Still, Furnace was stumped. There was a lot happening all at once, a lot of people that needed protecting and a lot of poachers villains....hang on...

In some ways this felt familiar, but Furnace hadn't encountered any poachers that could escape through time and space. That time guy would be a problem...perhaps...

 

Opening his jaws and letting out a loud "ROOAARR!", just to make sure everyone was looking for the source of said soundRemember, Furnace's 'Anti-Lock-On' makes him virtually undetectable, but only for those deliberately trying to observe him or evidence he's left behind. He's visible to chance and surprise encounters (though rapidly becoming un-visible to those who try to focus on him)., a strong gust of wind blew in from outside, pushing tables over and causing people to stumble as Furnace made a beeline for Maximillian Mars. If he could scoop him up, and frame his disappearance on that Time Master...

 

Action

Furnace attempts an Overcome using Principle of Stealth, with the ALO power, Stealth quality and Green status, to basically romp through the brewing battlefield to grab and hide Mars.

Max dice roll is a 9, even Mid is an 8, so...there is now an empty space where Max used to be and everyone gets a hero point?

Cyber Knight flying in the sky, the camera feed on her helmet sending her lots of data.  Mainly she is in the extensive camera system at mars tech, It would be difficult for a pro hacker but Squire her Ai assistant makes easy work of the buildings defences, Mar's personal protection seems to be quite superior,  As Cyber Knight and Squire work, she eventually finds a way in,  On Coms she is getting ready to order  her team to Take Mars, but as soon as his personal protection is taken down, he is gone, With no evidence that he had been there.  Cyber Knight scans information,  before activating her com link with the others. " We have an Unknown on the field, my info says there are two people here were not tracking, Gigantor bring it down"

Gigantor from outside the building nods, as he sends a fist the size of an automobile hurtling through the office building, as it tears apart walls and destroys almost one whole level of the large building you all are standing in.  As his fist hurtles through you would all notice Maxmillion Mars's personal shield tech, activates on the waiters and support staff who are almost caught in the attack. Cyber Knight sees this and says.
 "Maxmillian's tech  he has it focused on his employees,  find him now!"

After being hit by the Ink Man's explosion, then the giant fist, Stygia is not looking very well.  Not that she actually looked well from the beginning, but somehow she looks more tattered than her tattered, emaciated, desiccated corpse-like appearance from before.

Glaring with unholy hatred and a cold dispassion, somehow both at the same time, she gestures and waves her arms summoning the dead to fight her battles for her.

 

Two specters appear, and immediately reach for the Ink Man with their cold, dead hands.

Kevin doesn't seem to move too much during the time manipulator's assault, but he's clearly reeling from the mental shock - followed by the physical shock of the giant ape's demolition work. He shakes his head, then charges the gaudy time boy, grabbing his hands.

"Seriously? Risking temporal paradoxes? I swear, why are time manipulators always so IRRESPONSIBLE?"

Snarling, he starts tightening his grip with intense force.

"Also, I thought it was common courtesy for maniacs in elaborate costumes to introduce themselves during their first attack."

 

MechanicsUsing Power Strike to attack with Max die

[Zatvair]

The building trembles from the battle, 
Furnace you can hear or feel Maxmillion trying to get your attention.   " Hey!,  stop for a sec,"  Mars explains that. Cyber Knight has cut him off from his own tech, so he has put it on the people in the building to give them some protection. Maxmillion also explains that the energy that powers the tech is limited you don't have long I imagine before the battery dies.   Mars would also tell you to go help the others.  He is going to head to one of his safe rooms.  

Heroes and Villains are duking it out all over the campus of the building as you would all look up your all in different places on the Marstech Campus. In the destroyed remains of the Mars office,  Cannon and Erasiu  are fighting each other.  Cannon is teleporting around Erasiu as he releases sonic cannons from his fore arms. As the two of you are fighting he is talking to you. " Just another poor SOB, these corporations don't know how to stop!!! They promise you everything but in the end your body is just a Brain bucket",   ERASIU you'd get the feeling that he is talking more about himself than you.   

Lab Rat Time Master flickers before he is walking behind you " That hurt you ignaramus,  as he shakes his hand,  He then checks his belt,  " my tech accounts for all angles,  through trial and error I know exactly what I can get away with, besides you should be helping us!   It'd be very easy for me to go back in time and stop you from ever becoming a monster?  says Time Master with an evil smile.

Gigantor is looking, through various windows looking for Maxmillion Mars, " he Bellows that he can't find him, as his huge hand tears into a wall like a jenga piece to look deeper into the building.   Cyber Knight is looking at her tech pad, he has changed his tech signature. Says Cyber knight, she shifts through her visor.  "Smart boy putting your tech on everyone youve made a Screen but, you didn't account for my suit being able to tell the difference. " Cyber Knight gives Gigantor exact instructions on Maxmillion Mars's locations " he is heading for a Safe Room!!!"  

Stygia your spectral Minions begin to chase after INk but being made out of liquid it is easier said than done as the Ghosts chase Ink.   " Cyber Knight, you didn't say they have magic!?"

The Building shakes a second time. structural integrity loss by 10%

ERASIU responds to Cannon's diatribe with a simple, "You are incorrect.  Let me show you the light." Simultaneously several panels open on ERASIU's chest, back and arms while small orb like drones deploy in a rapid array around him.  Bright pulsing light strobes from the light panels in ERASIU's chest, bouncing and reflecting from the orb drones.  The energy matrix is carefully keyed to only passively impact ERASIU's allies, although this means it cannot be as effective as it might otherwise be against a range of foes, but they all catch at least glancing blows from the Energy Barrage

You can ignore the second roll, I didn't think the first one had done it properly.

Furnace wondered how Mars was able to even see him...but then supposed that ALO or not, being carried away by a honking big dragon was just too much for most conscious minds to explain away.

(Or perhaps it was a prototype of that 'see the dragon' tech he was developing. Oh well.)

After letting Max down so he could make for his safe room, Furnace turned and looked back at the battlefield. It sounded like Cyber Knight could track Mars...and him! She needed to go...but that Time Master could do who-knows-what to the timeline, let them jump back further to try again or something, if he wasn't stopped...he needed to go down first.

 

Scraping his paw against the ground, digging a small divot in the grass, Furnace snorted like a bull before he charged, stampeding towards Lab Rat and Time Master. Lab Rat would be fine. Hopefully.

 

Furnace uses The Subtle Approach; Attacking Time Master with Anti-Lock-On (d10), Fitness (d8) and Green (d6), while ignoring all attack penalties, defends or reactions.

 

...And Mid's a 6! 6 damage vs Time Master!

Stygia cackles madly, gesturing wildly for more specters to come forth to chase down and consume the Inky villain.  

 

Even as she gestures, more unholy creatures form of shadow and cold.  "Your ancestors are calling, will you join them?" she asks, looking around at the villains.

 

Two more arise, and join the hunt.
