[b] Rainmaker's Team [/b] Gabriel's blinding light elicited screams of pain from all of the villains and civilians in the area, though Locust's scream was more of a cacophonic shriek than anything. Twister had still been shaking off the effects when he felt his hostage escape his grasp and was shoved back by a hearty punch. He was similarly disadvantaged when Blast Girl struck him in the chin and then the gut. The villain slumped to the ground and barely blocked one of Blast Girl's hits with a tentacle before he was punched again. He was on his last legs when he managed to grab one of Blast Girl's wrists and wrenched it to the side aiming to slam her into a wall. He followed it up with a wild lunge with another tentacle to try and pin her to the wall. The villain was groaning and barely able to stand but still had fight in him. Gabriel's assault wreaked havoc on the henchmen who were caught entirely off-guard men were thrown aside or knocked out by the hero and civilians ran off to escape the fighting. Locust recovered and roared before he went for Gabriel, his insectoid mandibles clacking as his claws slashed down at the angel-like hero, attempting to slash his shoulder while another swiped at Gabriel's abdomen in an effort to almost eviscerate the hero. Locust's multiple black eyes seemed to glean as he pressed forward his brutal assault. [b] Olympia's Team [/b] Sonata had fallen back to attend to Graviton who stirred weakly on the floor leaving Olympia to handle the henchmen, the demigod whirling about in a furious frenzy sending henchmen flying into walls or to the ground. Boomer kept building energy in his attempt to blow up the whole building. He roared in rage as he kept getting brighter and brighter. Right as he reached the critical point he cackled in delight and prepared to destroy everything in sight. Until Volt's bolt hit him right in the chest and the surge of energy locked up his muscles. Boomer could not release the energy but neither was he able to stop it. The energy exploded inside the villain with massive force, Boomer's physiology had made him adapted to his own explosive energy but the force of the blast within his own body combined with the electrical strike knocked him into oblivion as the yellow energy pulsed brightly and suddenly abated and with it Boomer's consciousness. The man fell over onto the floor and the bank was saved. Olympia kicked the last henchmen into a wall as Sonata helped Graviton onto his feet. The demigod smiled and sheathed her blade, "Good work everyone. We saved the hostages and knocked out the villains in a quick and decisive manner with minimal collateral damage. I'd say this had been a pretty successful first mission for all of you. Round up the villains and let's call it a day." Sarin was still trapped in the vacuum cleaner and most of the villains were out for the count, but suddenly Bouncer sprang up on her feet and front-flipped over the floor and landed nimbly next to Shank. She scooped him up in her arms and jumped over a desk. She leaped all the way to the bottom of the stairs and nimbly dodged a sonic strike from Sonata and Olympia's attempt to grab her. The villain started running up the stairs in a bid to escape. [b] Pariah's victims [/b] The steel man shook his head, "A pity your arrogance has doomed you and your compatriots to defeat. Very well," He gestured to his fellow villains and their henchmen, "Take them." The henchmen raised their weapons and started firing. The lightning-slinger, flamethrower, and ice-shooter started flinging their signature attacks along with a water-blaster who suddenly manifested great gushing streams of water. A man raised his hands and several chunks of debris lifted from the ground and flew forward. The giant remained in front of the bus as a fifteen-foot tall sentinel. Another man stretched and elongated himself into impossible lengths and formed a human net behind the giant.One woman behind them encircled herself in a glowing sphere and pointed her hand at the bus which was suddenly surrounded by a similarly glowing azure sphere. One of the villains simply disappeared, no doubt the one responsible for hiding the villains until now. The steel villain rushed forward at the heroes along with the diamond woman who changed her arms into long spears and a man who charged next to them with a large hammer. Up until now the trainees had been fighting robots and regular henchmen, no more. Now they faced a real challenge.
