The Community Strikes Back
@Gardevoiran@Spiffy Chapter One: Lethal Force Things did not look good for Lethal Force. While it didn't seem like the two Community heavy hitters were trying to kill them, they definitely didn't seem like they were holding back by much. Sonika, the ever cold hearted professional, however... Well, she wasn't used to strong emotions. She'd managed to keep her focus so far but when Mantis released the rage inside her there was a moment where her perfect mask cracked. The air inside the room whipped violently, uncontrolled, as Mantis fired his gun from his free arm. Xolotl flickered in and out of his breaker state, thunderous crashes deafening everyone in the room.
Most shots went wide, but two managed to find their mark. One entered and exited at her left shoulder, the arm hanging limply afterwards. The other caught her right side.
Between the anger and the pain Sonika's normally cool exterior twisted, a crack become a shattering. And then.... Everything went still. Farce made her break for the window at the same time Sonika released a high pressure explosion directly in front of Mantis and Xolotl flashed forward, a blur of electricity, before becoming solid as Sonika's attack ended. With the momentum from his breaker form his fist connected with Mantis' head.
"Pathetic mortal, challenging a god," he sneered as his foot came down on Mantis' head, bringing darkness with it.
The duo looked at the window, a silent agreement between them. They had the culprit, the leader. Lethal Force was finished, and there would be plenty of time to deal with the other. They let Farce escape.
Farce had managed a fairly safe landing, though it was entirely possible Whip had taken damage on the landing. She caught the dog as it followed after them, before they promptly took off.

RED, 2What did that mean? It was from one of her men, but there didn't seem to be anything else coming....

Chapter Three: The City As Outsider checked on Sylph they could hear his mad cackling grow a little fainter as he moved towards the more populated area nearby. Outsider abandoned there scene to ward off the helicopter, which turned out to be a news helicopter. The pilot panicked at the sight of Outsider approaching, temporarily forgetting that he was a hero. Then again, with the city in such chaos it wasn't entirely unreasonable to assume the worst. The helicopter banked hard, losing altitude in the process, before the tail end clipped a building, sending the helicopter out of control! Outsider would have to act fast if he wanted to save them.
Sylph, however, had a choice to make herself. She could hear the sounds of crashing and screaming from the direction of Eyeblight getting worse and she might be the only one around who could hope to stop him before he put hundreds in the hospital or the morgue. Eyeblight was having the time of his life, by the sounds of things, and she'd need to hurry up if she had any desire to try and combat him.
Abaddon had deflected the bullet, her instantaneous breaker form far faster than the bullet, and much more durable than her fleshy body. Lamprey grinned in response, taking a step forward before Abaddon grabbed the car half to throw at them. She dived to the side as Celia holstered the gun and decided to play catch with the half of a car. Grabbing it she was knocked backwards down the street by a few hundred feet, leaving a trail in the pavement. Lamprey looked up as the bone spear suddenly landed not five feet from her, her eyes narrowing, as the half a car (now in even worse shape than it had been) went rushing past her at Abaddon.
Several gunshots rang out as Celia opened fire on the cape on the rooftop whole she casually walked back towards her partner.
"Celia, be a dear and deal with the pest, will you? I'm going to go teach our little friend a lesson in respect," Lamprey said as she turned towards Abaddon. She started walking forward before turning it into a run. Close the distance and let her power do the talking.
Celia nodded once in response before launching herself at the building Metanoia was on, climbing up the side of the building quickly. Indents were left behind where her fingers crossed the concrete, dust trickling down beneath her.
