Caught in the sonic backwash of Thrash's rampant drumming beat Bumblebee tumbles through the air for a second before firing her jets and rising high over the battlefield once more. With her ears ringing from the drummer's noisy attack the aviatrix barely hears the order given by her stony teammate, and with a quick salute to show her acquiescence Bumblebee pulled her blasters around and aimed them at Thrash, launching off a volley of electrically charged bolts.

Deimos link
Energy 5/10
15 / -2 / 5

Deimos was rather happy when she felt the gituar woman's face turn concave from her knee, but that feeling did not last long, as the crazy drum woman popped into not being a walrus now, and hit her drums in a way that made Deimos feel weaker. On top of the stupidly thrown flash bang, she felt that her current self could not produce the firepower she really needed right now. So, after the medic lady healed the wound made by the drum, she decided to relax a bit, and focus on returning to her full potential, rather than trying to fight with half.

Heretic LINK
Energy 3/10
15/1/6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heretic's physical form had taken a beating from flare's rogue flame attack, causing him to set aside some time to try and withstand the pain and the urge to go pyschoatic. All the excitement, all the glorious fighting, it just rattled Heretic's head too much for him to do anything for a few minutes.
Finally standing back up, a deep throated gurgle rose up in Heretic's vocals, accompanied by a clawing urge to 'get back up and fight'. Heretic's breathing soon came in choppy gasps, and his skin changed to a leathery texture. The warped faces of SWAT guards, brain washed servants, and screaming hostages boiled out of Heretic's red skin. Completing his transformation, Heretic started a malicious sprint towards one of the unlucky cheerleaders that would soon become his game.

Flare grunted in pain as Thrash preformed an impossibly fast and loud drumbeat. He backed away from the overwhelming noise unknowingly into the cheerleaders landing zone. Attempting to concentrate he carefully aimed his pistol and took a shot at Thrash's drums hoping it would hit. His vision was still a little blurry from the grenade and he couldn't focus with this stupid music. He didn't know how flammable they were but at least having a hole in them should make that noise less annoying right?

Vaerin barely heard the man give him orders over his throbbing headache provided by the psychotic drummer. Then the fan girls showed up, which royally pissed him off, can't shit EVER go easy? Shaking himself back to reality he checked his surroundings for the rockstar, and moved to support him. Standing beside him he patted his shoulder and dispersed a sphere of Void Energy around them. "Stay here its safer. Trust me." He spoke quick and curt, yet loud and proud as to carry his voice over the fight."

Rocksmith looked around to see his team mates were starting to succumb to the power sapping effects of Thrash's beats. It was even getting to the point where a giant robot made of metal was getting owned by someone wielding a bar stool leg made of wood. "Time for some actual music!" Rocksmith said before playing an epic solo on his magic guitar to inspire his friends.

Seeing her teammates being assaulted by the cheerleaders and feeling her own body being ron apart by the cacophony coming from the demonic drumkit Bumblebee quickly swooped over the battlefield, throwing everything she had at Thrash in an effort to give the rest of the team an opening against her. With her power supply dangerously low Bumblebee glided down for a landing, hoping a little time would allow her batteries to charge before she was ripped apart by the fangirl horde.

The jarring sounds of his target continued to plague the pilot as he tried his best to focus on the prevalent information displayed by his suits AI. It was this focus that caused him to lose track of the events around him as one of the cheerleaders rushed him and landed a successful strike upon him. Cursing his tunnel vision, he attempted to slip away from his assailant as he rushed Thrash.

>Target is using a method of attack that relys upon the musical instruments in hand. Has shown ability to recall object. Plotting course to strike at possible solution.

Guided by the system's indications, Vex would dart towards Thrash as she entered his range, bringing his blades up in an attempt to maim/cripple the hands of the drummer.

Ow. That word perfectly summed up how this whole thing was going. First, that drum woman was still going mental with her, well, drums, and the crazy cheerleaders where laying smacks down on this poor, harmless girl. On a metalevel, Deimos scoffed at the word harmless being used to discribe her, but in reality, she concentrated on the drummer. She had some plans where to drive herself at later stages, and that would probably come in handy right about now, but now now she was still just she, so there was only one thing to do, turn that b*(^&'s face cave in.

So, moving up to combat distance, she suddenly threw two fists at the woman, like she had with her friend before her, or though that girl was already rather battered, and so failed to stay awake for the second shot. This time however, the second shot was the first shot, and after her fists found flesh, she slipped down and grabbed the hopefully unstable woman's leg, dragging it up with all her might and hopefully topping the woman to the floor.

His flesh ripped open by the Cheerleader's sharpened pool cue, Heretic's demonic self bellowed at his assultant with unnatural vigor. Small horns peeked out of Heretic's forehead, and claws grew from underneath his finger-nails. Jumping onto the now startled cheerleader, Heretic clawed at the disturbed teenager's arms and face, screaming bloody murder as he did. Heretic, all at once, lost control of himself. He had officially crossed the line.

Violet felt another stronger wave from the drummer go by hurting worse than the last and making her take a look at the aftermath having felt the first barrier break under the pressure. She hadn't expected the team to get as roughed up as they were but it looked like the assault was quite brutal. The telekinetic had little choice but to get another barrier up to prevent as much damage as possible knowing it wouldn't last for long but enough to keep the cheerleaders at bay. However, she was good at making some noise and providing a target for someone who underestimated her thinking she would be easy to take out.

"Shame you girls can't hit worth a damn, unless you think you can prove me wrong!" Violet shouted as she moved closer to the edge of her new barrier wanting to piss off and taunt the cheerleaders to take pressure away from her allies.

Here was an awesome plan...and nearly no one listened to him. How the hell did Captain Canada do it?!? If they didn't tighten up, they were going to loose at best or even die. Feeling the underskin flake away at the sonic waves was severely disorienting And so he tried to rebuild his lost defenses As he moved in to take the place as a target for the groupies to beat on him instead.


"Void, psy, defend Bumblebee and give her a boost if you can. Rocksmith, play a solo just for bumblebee to amp her up! Heretic, we need some help from hell! Sigma, lay out the dancers. Flare, CATCH and aim with both hands. Vex, demios, keep pummeling her. Bumblebee, get a running start and SLAM THAT BITCH OFF THE ROOF!"

His hope here obviously was for everyone to build up bumblebee and let her give thrash a sonic boom with everyone defending her.

Flare grunted as the music got louder and of the groupies slammed a lead pipe into him probably leaving a nasty bruise on his back to look at later. Which brought up the question of whether he bruised or not, never had the chance to test that. Regardless he angrily turned to face her, "Bad move, I'm just getting warmed up." and with that he shot her in the chest with a bullet of condensed flame. So many dang people were yelling at this point it was hard to make anything out, between Thrash's drum and these insane wailing fans, this was getting to be a pain.

He could feel the weight of the sound bearing down on his body now and realized he was slowly getting weaker. "Brick I need a minute...Fuck...Never used this much magic till now..Really takes a toll on ya." He gritted his teeth under his helmet as he stood firm, mostly trying to rest and gain the strength to give Bumblebee the armor she'd need to stay alive a little longer. "Cover me I need to rest a tad..." He stayed in the sphere and waited to gain a bit more strength before jumping back into the fray. "'Ey Rocksmith, can drummer bitch conjure an actual drum kit along with her sticks or is it just her sticks, cuz if we can keep the actual drums away from her I can lock her down there for a bit so we can take her down." He would no doubt go unheard but it was an idea to pitch none the less.

Bumblebee, can you pick me up and add me to your sonic boom?

Thing were looking better, but they were not out of the woods yet. He could feel victory a very real possibility as he threw himself at the swarming cheerleaders to peel them off of Sigma and let them focus on him instead. As a fan of hells bitches, it hurt him to have to say what he would next but he had to get the cheerleaders beating on him instead.

"Hells bitches are a sell out! The're going to go on MTV just to be accepted!"

He kept one hand up in the air for bumble bee to pick him up by if she could to use him as a wrecking ball if she wanted. Otherwise, he was just fighting them off with one hand.

With the drum beat gone, Rocksmith felt his full strength return to him. He looked up at the helicopter and got a crazy idea for how to stop the drum beat from returning. Rocksmith aimed his guitar at the helicopter's and played a riff that launched a large fireball at the tail. The fireball exploded on impact, taking out the tail and sending the helicopter spinning out of control, heading straight for the stage.

Deimos link
Energy 3/10
5 / 5 / 10

Deimos was annoyed by the way there was something stopping her blows from making their full impact. Some sort of, sound barrier. But, then she wondered how well that would stand up to her projectile.
"Void! I need you again!" She exclaimed, but then followed the fireball Rocksmith shot at the helicopter, and saw it start to fly towards the stage, where one girl was unconscious and the other was still reeling from the last blow. There was a big difference between fighting, and sending a large tank of burning aviation fuel at someone who could barely defend themselves. That shit could kill people all to easily. So, Deimos grabbed the gituar girl, and then moved to pick up the drum girl in her other arm, highly thankful for her super-powered strength in this situation. Then, she lept from the stage with all the might she could muster, hoping to find some sort of cover for herself and the girls. Incapacitation by Knee was one thing, but murder was a whole new kettle of fish

Violet watched the fireball arc up into the helicopter's back rotor and it occurred that this was going to hurt quite a bit. She stole a glance back over to the rest of the team seeing the robot getting pummeled out of inaction while Deimos grabbed the two targets running back into the protection of the fields. It left the telekinetic confused about why she saved them from the now inevitable crash but maybe she would ask later when they weren't about to get hit with a damn helicopter. She was feeling drained from keeping barriers up and had one last hurrah in her to try and keep the one directly protecting them up. After that she would have to think about resting but the idea didn't thrill her.
