Unfortunately for Shade, Blast Girl's plan worked perfectly and the Invisible Man barely even knew what was going on before he was slammed into a wall with her crushing weight on him. He reappeared as his power deactivated along with his conscious mind. He slid down the wall and lay limp against it. At this point in time most of the henchmen had been incapacitated as well. 

The only one left was Locust. He took the hit from Gabriel and skittered back several feet, with his enemy's sword catching him in his chitinous carapace, lightly piercing it and drawing more fury than pain. Locust ducked under the blaze of heat faster than one would have thought and sliced at Gabriel's belly, scoring more blood. Locust made to tackle the Angelic hero to the floor and once he was pinned there he snapped at his face in a bestial attempt to bite and slash him.

Chrome's forward advance was suddenly halted by Changeling and the man didn't reply as he used his metallic strength to rip Changeling from his shoulders and slam him to the ground with enough force to crack the concrete. He then stomped in the vicinity of the heroe's chest, attempting to knock him out of commission. 

Charlotte's crows detonated and the car was blown up in a fairly dramatic explosion. Apogee used the momentary distraction to zoom up and punch Sentinel in the chest making him double over in pain. She inhaled and exhaled her breath in a gale of wind that blew Sentinel through a nearby window and temporarily out of the fight. Then she zoomed at Colossus, dodged a sluggish fist and hit him with a solid hit on the jaw. The giant fell over the brittle net that Extrusion made with his body. Colossus rapidly shrunk and bounced off of the net while Apogee continued to freeze Extrusion and slow him down. She was blocked by Bastion who expanded her shield to cover Extrusion which stopped Apogee's assault cold. Apogee banged on the sphere with hit after hit but Bastion simply stood her ground and the barrier held firm. 

Charlotte's diversion allowed Magnetar to slip cover and throw a car at Shocker, who nimbly dodged to the side in a roll. The next car was stopped in mid-air by a ball of electricity that held it in place and settled it to the ground. Magnetar reached into his pockets and flung several small steel balls at Shocker who destroyed them with pinpoint tendrils of lightning. Magnetar was no longer on the defensive but he was making no headway either as the two metahumans countered eachother's attacks. Outside intervention was needed. 

Aquamarine and Frost were still out of the fight for a few moments, but the Hydrokinetic had formed a thin razor edge of water and started cutting through the goop. She would be out within the net several seconds. Ember had escaped the foam and saw Charlotte interfere with her magic she snarled and unleashed a torrent of flame in her direction. Many of the henchmen had been knocked out but Bulwark and Adamant pressed their attack and had already knocked out a couple of heroes. They engaged Redeye and Bullseye in a fight that the heroes were losing. Redeye sent beam after beam of energy into Adamant's diamond form which kept reflecting the blasts while Bullseye's arrows mostly bounced off of Bulwark's high durability form. Finally Adamant was temporarily stopped when Redeye melted the street around her feet and Bullseye fired an arrow at Bulwark that ignited into sparks and set him rigid to the floor, but they were only temporary solutions and they both needed help.
