[IC] The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

[Archmage MC]

Light wasn't sure what to think of the new guy John, wiping off the tears and stuff dean left behind after his little episode. "Hello John, I'm Light." she said as the tears started to mysteriously disappear while Light was composing herself. "I have no clue what is going on other than we were attacked. Apparently Adam and you have an idea of whats going on or where to go?" Light said, giving Dean a quick look over to make sure he was fine to go by himself. She wasn't super keen on holding him the whole way to their next destination.

Eli heard a ringing from his borderline archaic cell phone and was slightly surprised at just how fast that was. It was always shocked at just how respected the name of Baba Yaga was. In certain worlds it was an all access pass to anything or anyone he wanted. In others, it was a death sentence, one that people would love to executed, still loved the power it held. When he heard the voice on the other end of the line he couldn't help but smile. "Shade! Is that you old boy? My lord its been an age! How's the underground crime world been treating you?" Eli was more than a little surprised to find out that Shade was the one that answered his call. He was reminded that his, Aster had recently blown something up and had been killed or something of the like. Eli was going to sure not say anything about it or talk about how helpful that was for Eli to get back under the radar after the LAPD incident.

[Letter Bee]

((Collab between Letter Bee and RoflsMazoy)) "Finally found it." Alto said. He stood in front of a large speaker or something that was currently blaring alarm tones right into his face. He'd landed on the roof of Aperture headquarters, only to find that the roof was one of aspect of security that hadn't escaped their notice. As soon as he touched down, automated turrets had popped up and started shooting at him, and another alarm activated on the roof, the alarm he was in front of now. The turrets meanwhile, were now cleanly cut pieces behind him. He placed his right arm onto the speaker and started hacking into the Aperture security system. The first thing he did was shut off the annoying alarm, and the rest of the alarms for that matter. The next thing he did was hack into the network of sensors connected to the alarms and turned them all off, hopefully blinding some of not all of Aperture unless they had some kind of back-up system. Lastly, he hacked the security cameras from the alarm and fed the images directly into his mind. "Oh damn, were'd that death mech come from?" He saw from one of the outdoor security cameras, that someone was rampaging on the front lines with some kind of mech. "Didn't know StuCorp had one of those..." He couldn't clearly see the pilot, but judging by the way it seemed to flicker and dissappear every so often, it was probably that Super-Spy Constantine. "Well," Alto said with a shrug, "That's none of my business." "Emperor!" Theo suddenly said, "There are enemies behind us!" Alto looked behind him quickly, and saw an approaching death-squad, similar to the ones he had dealt with when he'd met Constantine for the first time. "Oh damn," He said, "Con, look for something interesting to do, somewhere we can do some damage." "Yes, Master." She replied. Alto heard shouting behind him which probably meant bullets were coming his way pretty soon. "Theo," He commanded, "Shield." A transparent glowing blue shield of energy instantly materialized around him, just in time for some bullets to ricochet harmlessly off of its surface. "Master, there seems to be a large concentration of enemies below us." Con suddenly said. "Oh, that's nice." Alto replied as a grenade exploded outside of his bubble. "Gotta deal with this first, though." The back of his left hand glowed brighter for a second, as the back part of his shield suddenly dissappeared and the energy streamed into the front of his shield. He flexed his palm in front of him and the barrier became a wave of energy that knocked the kill-squad off of their feet and carried them quite a ways over the roof. Kill-squad dealt with, he activated his Laser program proceeded to cut a perfect square at his feet. The slab he had cut didn't really budge however, so he raised his right arm curled as a fist and delivered a solid punch downwards into the slab. As his fist struck concrete, he felt some of it crack, and the block he stood on gave way and plunged into the chamber below. The sight that greeted him was very, extraordinary. There was a huge horde of monstrosities, some of which he had just seen fighting on the front lines of the Aperture raid, and some bigger ones were new to him. They all looked to be surprised at his entrance, but Alto knew soon enough surprise would turn to aggression and he was going to have a fight on his hands. "Theo, Battle Stations; Con, form sword." Instantly, he felt his awareness extend outwards as his mind integrated with his arms, he looked to his right hand and saw a black-steel tanto form in his off-hand. As he did so, one of the monster's in front of him, a cross between a man and a tiger, jumped at him from about 50 feet away. The first of many, he could see. He felt the rest of the crowd start to stir. Without wasting a breath, he tossed his tanto into his left hand and raised his right arm to meet the challenge in the air. His fist suddenly shot from his arm, with the force of a cannon, smacking straight into the tiger-man's jaw, stunning him as he sailed through the air, and Alto leaped with his tanto outstretched, and buried the blade into the beast's head. As they fell, he pushed his stump back into the launched fist reconnected them, just in time to raise it and block another monstrosity's slam. He raised his left finger, and a bright beam of energy cut the monster in half. "This is too easy!" He said, laughing aloud. The death of the two monsters held the others back for a second, but he could see soon enough they would attack again. He adopted a fighting stance and prepared himself for the oncoming waves. A voice sounded out from a nearby speaker: "Alto Ganze, I take it? Technopath, Genius Computer Programmer, and apparently, a Cyborg. I have heard much about you, and, quite frankly, you and that Cedric kid have some of the DNA needed to create the perfect Metahuman. Which is why I'm going to acquire that DNA now, whether by capturing you, killing you, or making you shed blood." And with that, more monsters revealed themselves. Some were floating wheels within wheels with seven eyes each; (Counterfeit) Ophanim from Jewish and Christian Angelogy. These floating wheels were able to fire lasers from their myriad eyes, as well as hypnotize people with said eyes. These Fake Ophanim were guarded by Serpentmen; Naga from Indian Mythology, whose coiled bodies were many times stronger than humans, and had an acidic spit and bite. There were also uncannily beautiful Succubi, long-haired women with bat wings who wore skimpy bikinis and carrying whips; each of them had the power of manipulating fire as well. Which brought up the subject of how Isabella was able to find so many volunteers, for her power only worked on the willing. "Do you not see, Alto? Pleasure and perfection are the only truths! Join me, and you can have every luxury you can desire, including, of course, my lovely body..." she said in a tone meant to be seductive. Hmmm... She sounds familiar... Alto thought as the voice continued talking. She sounds like that one Aperture biologist that got promoted and was bragging about it everywhere... It probably could've been, considering all the creatures. They were classified as Biology right? "Hey wait!" Alto shouted suddenly, "Aren't you like, thirty-something? You're at least 12 years older than me!" "Which is part of the allure," spoke Isabella, "don't tell me you've never been interested in older women..." she continued in that musical voice of hers. "After all, you adolescents are still growing, still unable to control your 'urges'..." "Hey, you know, all you're doing is making me feel slightly queasy here!" Alto said, "You kinda sound a bit desperate, when I think about it, it just sounds really weird!" He really didn't know what she was going for here, well he sort of did, but it was still weird. Her voice was nice and all but that didn't really do anything for him. "Unlike you, I'm not 30! I can control myself!" Isabella laughed, conceding the point. She then spoke: "All right; I'm done 'playing nice'. Surrender in three seconds, or I will have my minions take you alive. Emphasis on alive." Alto can imagine Isabella being smug. "Alright then, 0!" With that, he shot a beam of energy at the speaker, cutting it into pieces before it burst into a small explosion. He knew what he had to do now. Disregarding her words, Alto launched himself forward, plotting a course for one of the wheel things in the air. "Emperor, the Ophanim's eyes have hypnotic properties," Theo said suddenly, "The defensive protocols can alleviate the effects, but it will take some time to negate them." He reported. "Theo, you know what I'm thinking right now, and you know that it won't matter." He said to him. He ducked under a swinging tail and rolled through the legs of a nearby behemoth, he jumped up into a sprint, slitting the throat of a Naga as he passed before it could shoot acid at him. He ducked and weaved between monsters as the eye wheels started to shoot lasers at him, cutting limbs left, right and center, showering him with blood. He sidestepped a succubus who blew fire at him, and then grabbed her by the head and used her to vault up a wall and then he launched himself off of the wall and backflipped over the heads of some monsters using his arms to propel himself further. He landed on a flying succubus and used the momentum to launch himself onto the back of another behemoth. He quickly climbed the behemoth as it tried to grab him and he reached the top of its head and proceeded to plunge his tanto into its scalp. It did little more than annoy the creature, and the behemoth just reach up with a fist and tried to slap him off, but Alto jumped his hand and landed on it on the way back, the behemoth noticed and raised his arm to fling Alto off as lasers, acid, whips and fire all raced to eradicate the pest. Alto shot out his left hand and a glowing blue hook launched and embedded itself into the eye wheel closest to the hole in the ceiling. Activating it, he whisked himself towards the wheel as the behemoth howled in pain. He reached the end of the line and grabbed the wheel with his right hand, taking care not to look into its eyes. As he expected, it tried to shake him off by rotating in varous directions, he held on long enough for it to get annoyed and it rotated 180 degrees putting Alto from the bottom of it to the top. Finding his footing on the wheel, he used it as a platform and jumped for the hole in the ceiling, stabbing his tanto into the sides of the hole, and reaching his left arm for the edge of the platform. He hauled himself up as several succubi and eye-wheels flew out of the hole in order to menace him further. He pointed his finger out and waved it erraticaly, turning the air in front of him into a shower of blood and limbs. He looked over the side for a second, and saw more wheels flying towards him, and even several succubi hauling other creatures to attack him. Raising his left arm skywards, he said, "Theo, you know what to do." "Yes, emperor." Blue light burst from his finger tip and projected a hologram into the sky that read, "HOLE IN THE ROOF, NEED ASSISTANCE, BRING FIREPOWER" with an arrow pointing downwards towards the hole. When he'd held it up for long enough that he was sure anyone would get the message, he turned off the projection and turned towards the next wave of attackers. "Alright then," He said finally. "Time to get serious." He threw his black-steel tanto into his right hand, and materialized a blade of blue energy on his left arm. Then he charged towards the oncoming storm. ((TL;DR - Too Long, Didn't Read: Alto, (Edit: upon landing at the roof of Aperture Tower,) sends away Cypress and Bloodrune to someplace else, then drops down to a chamber filled with Isabella's creatures, where the aforementioned Isabella tries to seduce him. She fails, there's a big fight, and Alto projects a hologram onto the roof calling for help. Light, Dean, and Adam, that is your cue.))

[Archmage MC]

Light was the first to get to the call to arms signaled by the beam of light she was unexpectedly drawn to, riding the missile she had stored in her pocket space. She had no clue what was going on or who the person was, only vaguely remembering seeing the person before, but was instantly interested in the huge mass of succubi down in the hole. She hopped down the hole, landing on a couple flying succubi who were attacking the person who had sent out the call. Course she stuck her landing, unfortunately impaling both succubi through the back with her sharp legs. "So... demon hordes. this'll be fun." Light said as the two succubi landed on the ground, screaming on the way down. "Oh, and sorry about that landing girls. Buuuut you were attacking someone I vaguely know so yeah." Light continued, getting ready for the coounterattack.

[The Patriarch]

Adam was wondering what to do next when he saw the message in the sky and even though he didn't know who it was sending the message he was needed and he went into action. Light went on a head of them thanks to her cartoon like powers. Adam and John followed not too far behind. They eventually got to the roof and dropped down through the hole after Light. Adam was prepered and he had a gun construct in one hand and a rapier in the other. He shot three of the creatures and then stabbed one through the head with his sword. --- John didn't exactly know what was going on, but he agreed to follow Adam, which he did and saw that they were going to get into a fight with demonic looking creatures. He gave a roar and made his super sharp claws come out. Thanks to his incredible agility, John went from one monster to the next tear and slashing into the beasts with savage fury. His claws were strong enough to cut through metal and they went into the creatures' innards like a hot knife through butter.

[Kalas]

Collab between Kalas & AcerRo "Shade! Is that you old boy? My lord its been an age! How's the underground crime world been treating you?" Karma smirked slightly as he recalled the laid back attitude of the man known as Baba Yaga, or Elijah Craig to those close enough to learn his true name. "It has been a while, old friend. Too long some would say. Ahh you know, same old, same old. Scrubs still trying to move up in the world and bosses still shitting on their heads. Got some bad news though..." Karma's voice wavered a little as he recalled the events of the past week. "After what's been going in this town for the last few, I'm waiting for someone to tell me they got some good news. It'd be nice, for the change of pace you know?" Eli couldn't help but wonder how this might go south for him. How could this get that much worse? "Well here's some good news for you; I'm already in L.A. and I heard you needed a hand with busting some heads. I'm down for that." He remembered back to a few of their earlier jobs together, it was hard to believe that it'd been so long ago. "The bad news, however...I-It's Dad...He's...Dead." Karma went silent then. Eli always liked Karma's father. Not as much as some but much more than others. It brought a thought to Eli's mind, if that's the bad news, Karma didn't know about his brother yet. Eli thought to play on that but that was low even for a guy like him. "My condolences, I liked that old man. When did it happen? Did he get sick or did someone knock him off?" Did someone knock him off? That question threw Karma slightly, but he managed to hold on to his resolve. "It was about a week ago. We believe he was killed. I'm out here looking for Aster, someone has to let him know. But enough about that for now, it can wait. Your call sounded pretty urgeant. Just how much shit are you in anyway?" "You remember that time in Mexico? Where I pissed on some federal and half the fuckin' military got called in?" Eli chuckled a little bit, partly out of embarrassment. "Yeah, this is going to be way worse than that. I'm after a meta named Ruby Greenfoot. The catch to it is, so are the feds and the military and whoever the fuck else knows. What I do know for certain is this shits gonna be crazy. Still interested?" Karma laughed as he recalled the incident in Mexico, he also distinctly remembers saying something about Eli's piss probably tasting better than the beer they served down there. "Oh man, that was a riot." He continued to listen as his old friend relayed the information about the job. "Jesus, Eli, you're neck deep into this, huh. Well, if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that whenever we team up against Governments, shit always hits the fan and it never fails to fly in all directions. Besides, I think I'm a little overdue on crazy right now, I'm in." "Meet me at... There's a fast food joint not far north of Apature HQ. Meet me there and we can figure out how this gonna work without the ire of the government coming full force." That was all he said, his next stop was going to be a place with poorly made fries and decent double cheese burgers.

@Archmage MC

Dean was being rather quite for the time but once he saw some sort of light and the others,He sprung into action with the others following them to the roof.Once he got to the roof with the others he saw creatures that looked strange to him coming at them. He defended Adam form one of them coming at him throwing a chimney at it,"Why are these things here?" He asked John or Adam since they seem to know everything on what was going at the moment.

[Letter Bee]

The monsters, however, would not yield. As Succubi, Naga, and even a Behemoth fell under the combined onslaught, the Ophanim tried to wheel around the motely group of heroes, flanking them so that they can launch beams of light against the Heroes' backs and sides, while the Succubi flew, launching flurries of flame at their heads. ------ Outside, Constantine had brought down several False Angels, albeit with help; lots of help. Isabella's face on the giant screen smiled proudly, saying: "Dear, dear, Consty; you are really being hot while you're killing my constructs."

[RoflsMazoy]

Alto looked behind him as he dodged a low-flying succubus’ claws, at the four who had just dropped down to join him. Oh, it’s those three guys from the video conference. He also saw some kind of mountain lion-man who was also fighting alongside them? He looked around and spotted a couple more mountain-lion guys in the hordes, but they weren’t wearing any shirts and they didn’t look as angrily depressed as the other guy. Well, help is always good… He thought as he slit another Naga’s throat and dodged a behemoth’s fist. Still, he couldn’t help but notice they hadn’t brought much fire-power between them. He knew that the cartoon girl that had landed near him could store things in another dimension or something but really, where was his fire power? Ahead of him, he saw a bunch of succubi and eye-wheels were finally starting to coordinate their attacks and they launched a wave of fire and lasers at the party. He raised his left arm in response and his shield sprang to life again. The lasers and fire dissipated harmlessly on the shield, the behemoth he had dodged slamming down on the shield in vain. His shield coalesced into a hemisphere again as he turned to address his new party members. ”Why didn’t you guys bring any fire-power?” He said as the barrier launched and knocked the behemoth off its feet, ”Can’t you guys read?”

[Archmage MC]

"Technology doesn't work well for me." Light said, punching aside a couple Nagas. Though she wasn't paying too much attention, and a few moments later, her backside was on fire due to a succubi's blast. At first she didn't even notice she was on fire, until she started to smell her own cooking butt. Much like any cartoon you've seen, Light started to run around at incredible speeds, lighting a few nagas and a behemoth on fire when she passed by them. After running around for a bit, much to the amusement of some nearby demons, Light found a pool of liquid and put herself out. Looking at her scorched back before it popped back to normal, Light got a bit mad at the whole ordeal. "The one gag I'm not so happy to do is the fire gag." she said, angerly grabbing an attacking behemoth, punching it in the stomach, straightening it out in a way that caused it intense pain as its skeleton was being snapped, and wielded it as a huge bat. With her newfound screaming weapon, Light began to swipe the flying succubi out of the sky, using the behemoth bat as a shield for their fireballs. Eventually the poor thing got caught on fire, leaving Light with a flaming behemoth bat. "There, is THIS enough firepower? its a freaking flaming screaming giant bat." Light said as a few succubi started to flee from her, Light chasing them.

[The Patriarch]

Adam was glad to have some cover from his allies and gave a quick thanks to Dean. "I don't know these things are, I didn't get a chance to check on the situation, just kill as many as possible" he ordered Dean and began to dual wild two sabers and used his urban combat skills to maneuver around the creatures' attacks and slashed at them with powerful and precise moves of his swords. But the Ophanim was able to blast Warpath in the arm with flames and Adam quickly dropped and rolled on the ground to put out the flames. When he heard Alto ask why they didn't bring any firepower Adam made his swords disappear and created a large sci-fi cannon gun. He aimed his gun at the monsters and charged up a powerful blast of energy. Warpath then fired off a powerful concussive beam of energy which blasted away several monsters with a sweeping arc of his weapon. "Don't worry we have firepower" Adam said to the hero as he changed his weapon into a minigun and began to fire off energy rounds in extremely fast rapid succession, blowing through many of the creatures. --- John was in full beast mode and focusing completely on killing as many monsters as possible. He jumped up over a creature that was attempting to slash at him and did a flip in the air and then came and sliced into the monster's back. He finished the beast off with a slash to the back of its neck and then leaped straight towards an oncoming monster flying through the air like a living projectile. He hit the creature head on and drove his deadly claws into the beast's head and then proceeded to slice open its skull. He was like a wild animal and wouldn't stop going on the attack until all of the threats were driven away. Until then he would kill anything that came near him that seemed to be a threat.

[RoflsMazoy]

"Well, there were mech suits outside," Alto said to the cartoon girl, "But whatever, that'll do." Alto wasn't sure where the strength was coming from though. Surely even cartoons had a limit, and wasn't there an old cliche of cartoon characters struggling under anvils or something like that? Some other guy that looked like a doctor was also coming down with a bunch of trees, which weren't exactly firepower either. Where'd he get them from? Alto thought. Ah, whatever. Suddenly, a huge blast of energy shot off somewhere to the side of him and sweeped a large amount of monsters off of their feet. He turned left to see one of the dudes that had come down, the one wearing red and blue spandex... and a bulletproof vest? What kind of self-respecting person could wear that with a straight face? He was holding a large laser cannon of some description which hadn't seemed to do much damage, all the monsters he had sweeped were getting up without much problem. As Alto watched the cannon turned into a minigun which looked to be doing some damage. "C'mon, why didn't you pull that out earlier?" He shouted to captain spandex, "Open with that next time!" As he spandex mowed down more monsters, Alto could finally started to see the end of the horde. But the way they were going, it would still take a bit. "Emperor!" Theo suddenly said, "Above you!" Alto looked up to see a flock of eye wheels above him. He jumped into a forward roll, myriad lasers filled the space he had just been in. "These eye wheels are so annoying," He said as he cut them to pieces with his laser. There were more of them on the way, and Alto was really getting tired of dealing with them. "You guys!" He shouted, "Cover your eyes!" He raised his left arm and an it emitted an extremely bright blue flash that instantly filled the room, blinding the horde of monsters. The flying eye wheels were hit the hardest, because they all had seven eyes which meant more exposure to the flash. They flew in circles, rapidly blinking all of their eyes. With the rest of the horde covered by Captain Spandex, Cartoon Girl and Doctor Trees, he started to pick off the eye wheels with his laser.

[Eviledd1984]

Dean nodded to Adam picking up the surrounding trees around them knocking the creatures around knocking them out of the sky form away form them,He wondered where the hell these creatures came form.He moved away form the group onto a rooftop moving some more trees around hitting the creatures with the trees. "What do we do now?" He asked Adam looking around for the source of the creatures coming out of someplace,"Why don't you move away form them fuck them...find the source and kill as many of these fuckers as you can..." Jenni said to Dean who shook his head. "Shut up i need to think clearly..." Dean said hating that his sister was talking to him now at this point of time hitting a creature form hitting Light with a parking meter.

[Letter Bee]

And with that, the horde of monsters were all destroyed, covering the place with blood and ichor. The group would then, if they so chose, proceed deeper into Aperture Tower, where they would encoutner battle drones, mundane guardsmen, and auto-turrets and sentry guns, as well as plenty of abandoned offices. Finally, they would enter the Executive office...where they would find Director Doctor David Taylor, the CEO of Aperture...and the dead bodies of Bloodrune and Cypress. As a precaution, David had sprayed himself with Bloodrune's blood, making him immune to superpowers, meaning that Adam's hardlight constructs won't do anything against him; however, Mountain Lion's claws can still tear him apart, as those were physical alterations as well as powers. "So, Gary Stuart, instead of coming here, instead sent his most valuable minions to die at my hand; never figured him out to be a coward. Nevertheless," the CEO said, "I now have the powers of said valuable minions, as well as much, much more." And with that, he launched lightning bolts from his hands, arcing out to everyone in the group; said lightning bolts were as fast as light, so only shields just as fast can withstand the onslaught. But lightning bolts were not the only power of David Taylor; should the group manage to put up a defense against them after all, they would find that he had vanished from his chair, and appeared behind the group; a combination of Friction/Cypress, Wire, and Alec/Lighthouse's powers - yeah, he killed Wire and managed to acquire some of Alec's blood as well. This combination allowed him to use several powers simultaneously... ...First conjuring up seven swords made up of an unknown metal that can only be conjured up by Metahumans, swords which came at each member of the group at once, and, when they hit, would cause whatever they touched to explode. This occured at the same time as a psychic assault upon Dean, an assault meant to weaken the boundaries he placed on the homicidal Jenni. This psychic assault was enhanced by Wire and Alec's powers, meaning that Dean would, at the very least, be removed from the equation. With Adam, the ground beneath him would turn into quicksand, allowing the swords coming towards him to strike, while with Mountain Lion, David Taylor would emit a high-pitched screech that would disrupt the Metahuman's enhanced animal senses. As for Light, the Director would create a Piano Construct and cause it to fall on her head, and failing that, a hammer or a giant mousetrap. That left Alto, whose Alien Symbiotes did not count as Metahuman powers and so could harm David Taylor. Using Alec's 'Cerebro Mode', the man conducted a series of multi-level assaults; physical, mental, and emotional. The Physical assault was the aforementioned swords, but now it was coupled by a flare of molten stellar matter that can melt even Alto's technology. At the same time, David Taylor was besieging the 17-year old's mind with visions of his parents dying horrible deaths, while using emotion manipulation powers to make Alto feel good about said visions, which in turn made the young man feel naturally guilty.

[RoflsMazoy]

"Threat protocol activated." Theo said, "Lightning rod activated." Con said. Time slowed for Alto, and he saw Taylor's hands crackle with electricity. His right arm automatically rose as he saw streaks of lightning move through the air towards the members of the party. But when they were halfway to the party, they suddenly changed course and streamed towards his raised right arm. As they struck, he felt the Con's energy levels suddenly increase as the current was transformed into temporary energy for her functions. Shifting his attention back towards Taylor, he saw that he was no longer in front of them. He shifted his attention, and suddenly he realized he had teleported behind them. "Emperor, incoming missiles." Theo said, normal speed in his mind. "Analysis indicates that they are volatile. There is also a jet of energy behind it that may be able to dissipate our energy constructs." He felt them coming, but compared to the lightning they were much, much slower. "Con," He said in his mind. "Second program." "Yes, master!" He felt his right arm move downwards to touch the ground as the looming swords approached. As his fingers touched the ground, he saw veins of black steel spread and split off into 7 directions. They travelled along the ground towards the swords, and when they were directly under the flying swords, black steel blades suddenly jutted out from the veins and hit the flying swords causing them to violently explode. He felt the explosions disrupt the burst of energy headed his way, but he had other matters to attend to. To his left, he felt the sudden presence of a large piano, then a hammer and a mousetrap appear over the Cartoon Girl's head. To his right, he felt Captain Spandex start to sink slowly into materialized quicksand. From his crouching position, he directed a number veins towards the sinking hero and materialized some long thin blades that would catch him by the vest. With his left arm he immediately erected a barrier and let it coalesce into a wave of energy which he launched at the constructs over the Cartoon Girl. The energy stream was close now, but not so close he couldn't avoid it. He launched his hookshot from his left hand and it caught into the ceiling of the room, pulling him towards it afterwards. He felt the jet of energy race by just under his feet. He felt Lion-Man go down somewhere in front of Taylor, and he saw Doctor Trees go down to something else. He couldn't do anything about them however, and he focused his attention back onto Doctor Taylor. Suddenly, a number of images slowly started to fill his mind even as he clung to the ceiling. He wasn't quite sure what they were just yet, but he knew he was going to find out soon. "A psychic attack," Theo said, "It will take a little time to dissipate." "It's fine." Alto said in his mind, "I'm curious to see what it is, anyway." He felt Theo doing his work as the images started to dominate his thoughts. He saw his parents dying various horrible deaths; impalement, decapitation and all manner of nice things. Curiously enough, Alto didn't feel anything. Perhaps it was Theo, but Alto didn't feel anything in particular. It was sort of like being in a waiting room, all he was doing was letting time pass. "It is done, emperor." Theo said. Immediately, the images were cut off. "Theo, normal time." The outside world sped up for him. His barrier crashed into the pile of constructs above the toon down below, the black-steel blades caught spandex before he sank too far into the sand. He deactivated his hookshot, charging a pulse of energy as he fell, before firing it at Doctor Taylor.

[Eviledd1984]

Dean could feel something poking around in his head he didn't know what it was but he wanted it out of his head,"Damn it get out.." He said gritting his teeth holding his head for a moment."So close...someone is trying to set me free..but it's him the enemy..why does he want?" She asked her brother who feel a sharp pain in his head. "He is the enemy that makes no different to us he is trying to harm our allies so he must....DIE!!!" He said his body slumping down a little before becoming more upright,"SO are you going to let me out and murder this fool?I promise not to kill your friends"Jenni responded to him with a mental smile on her face on the carnage that David would feel. Dean shook his head at this closing his eyes letting his body emitting a aura around his body that was bright red,"I will let you out only once but once he is die you are going back.." He said to Jenni who agreed as the aura became more contracted making the ground shake and big chunks of the ground around him to make a sort of shield around his body.

LA Agent Reyes was with other FBI agents and soldiers going through and fighting the remaining forces. "Keep pushing!" she ordered as an SUV blew up behind her. "Damn it that was my company car!" Elena then ducked as more fire came her way. A block back the command STRYKER APC halted. Inside the vehicle battlefield management was going on. "..seven mobile Guns are heading towards target ETA four minutes." A young male captain said " Apaches inbound authorized for full release." a private told his boss. "Overlord this is Alpha One we request fighter support and air strikes." said the colonel. "Alpha One this is Overlord you will get fighters from the Vinson and naval support." replied the voice of the commanding general. 15 miles off of the California Coast On the USS Carl Vinson three fighter squadrons were being launched or in the process of being launched. They were all F-18's with various payloads, except for Strike Fighter 41, the Black Aces. The F-18's in the Black Aces were armed with JDDAM's and Laser guided bombs. As the fighters were taking flight, destroyers and cruisers of the fleet readied their missiles cells. Location: Classified The older man was shining his shoes, if he was to head to the White House he had to look good. The Director disliked this president and his like of taking off his suit jacket in the Oval Office showed the director that the president was weak. The President was reconsidering his position. Nixon never changed his mind, Reagan did not Johnson didn't. President's needed to be aloof. how would his peers in intelligence get away with things. Los Anglese Elena Reyes was getting mad. She saw a tank like vehicle fire into the lobby of Aperture. The turret and gut then fired at a seventh floor window.

Light was having a fun time, swinging around a flaming screaming behemoth. The poor thing burnt to a crisp after awhile as she followed the group to the main battle theatre where some crazy guy started attacking the group with a cacophony of abilities. The person who called her and her group knocked away a bunch of cartoon related items, which Light both found funny, and insulting. The swords heading her way though were a different story, cutting her clean in half at her hips. "Yeah, that doesn't do much." Light said after her top half fell off her legs, laughing, and putting herself back together. She then reached into her pocket space to grab an item. Her hand got snagged on something however, and after a bit of minor annoyance, she wretched her hand free. She noticed she was holding a perfectly circular black... thing. Annoyed, she tossed it to the ground, searched her space again, and grabbed her giant hammer. Light then moved her way to the person who was attacking everyone, stepping onto the black circle she had placed on the ground. She wasn't sure what happened next, as it was all a blur. She first fell into the black circle as if it was a hole, and after a quick second of blackness around her, popped out headfirst behind the man she was going to attack. Jumping to reach him, she swong with her giant hammer, something that would probably hurt a great deal.

Director David Taylor merely absorbed Alto's energy blast, using it to fuel a barrier that blocked Light's hammer, before telekinetically flinging the Toon-Metahuman into the wall, then launching another burst of stellar matter at her, before a shell from a mobile gun struck the floor they were all in; thankfully, there was a shield protecting said floor. "This is my tower," he spoke, "my headquarters. And you will not violate it any longer!" And with that, he launched a sweep of freezing cold at everyone. ------ Outside, the military assault came up against shields, lasers, and good old-fashioned AA batteries, only some of whom were illegally installed. However, a dent was being made against the battalions of False Angels defending the tower, which was a good thing.

A burst of energy came out where Dean was flying at the freezing cold coming at them to try to block the attack,Now instead of Dean standing where he was it was a women or rather looked like a women wearing a nurse outfit.The women had lighter shade of brown hair that was longer then Dean with a curvy body and a surgical mask to cover her mouth complete with a nurse hat. "Hehehehehe now we can rock and roll.." The women said with a smile behind the surgical mask,She turned her attention to David,She held her hand out sending a the desk at David.
