Chapter Two: The Rockers
As Creep made the call and sent the text, men and women began to exit the building. Pester was not seen among them, though there were still more inside. Barely a third of the Rockers on base had left when the two receptionists made it through the doors and suddenly collapsed, two arrows clattering against the ground beside the two of them. A second later a series of crashing noises could be heard from inside as something seemed to be demolishing walls if the sounds indicated anything.

Chapter Three: The City
As Outsider guided the helicopter into safer territory it seemed someone had gotten through to the pilot as he began shutting down the systems. The crew was still filming, it seemed, not that Outsider could really tell.
Sylph, meanwhile, was courageously attempting to bring Eyeblight to ground. And that was easier said than done, especially considering that she couldn't risk looking at him. In the mere moments that he had been in this new area, however, he had already caused a fair amount of mayhem. A fire hydrant was spraying water against a car that had hit it, and there were power lines that were dangling over the street. Combined the two hazards threatened to cause significant harm to bystanders that hadn't succumbed to the madman's raving attempts to draw attention to himself.
Speaking of, he could be heard cussing profusely nearby. Perhaps to her front and right? There was a scream entwined with a sob and the sound of a body falling and colliding with concrete. Not a sickening splat, but it didn't sound pretty. Whatever Sylph was going to do the had better act fast if she didn't want more people injured or killed.
As Meta prepared for Celia, the villain scaled the building effortlessly. As she gripped the side of the roof, however, she seemed to pause. And then suddenly she was on the rooftop and moving quickly towards Meta. Like lightning her fist struck out, connecting with the lower section of the shield with a thunderous crescendo of cracks and snaps. Her fist continued through, the section of the shield around the impact zone shattered and breaking as cracks extended out. Her fist connected with Meta's midsection before jutting back to grab onto the edge of the hole in the shield as her other hand grabbed the edge and she pulled, hard.
Down below Abaddon was resorting to aggressive measures. Lamprey's face set into one filled with determination as she dived forward, carving out a small indent into the ground as the wreckage soared over her and further down the street. The smaller piece of metal bounced off of her back and legs, tearing into cloth and the surface layers of skin. She ran forward, making a dive in an attempt to catch Abaddon before the breaker could ascend above Lamprey's range.

Chapter Four: The Girl
As Allison left the room, much to various levels of worry and consternation, the PA system crackled to life again.
"Well now, what do we have here? Little Allison the useless drunk. Scrapes by in class more from the teacher's pity than her own skill. If only she'd known that she could've just taken advantage of the situation to appease that nymphomania with her lusty old teacher to get those A's. But, of course, she's too fucking stupid to think of something so obvious. Did you know your parents are the only reason you're here, Ally? Poor little Dean boy here took a fat little bribe to keep you here. They didn't even know about your whore ways, but they knew you weren't going to last by yourself. Couldn't stand having you come back home, so they made sure you wouldn't have a reason to."
As Allison rounded a corner there was a spray of automatic gunfire from up ahead, bullets tearing into the walls around her.
"Dean takes bribes, your professor is more interested in getting some than teaching, and will you look at this! The school sports teams have been deflating balls and slipping the good old Roids just to win and keep their scholarships! You really did surround yourself with mediocrity, Al. Makes you feel like you're more than the trash that you really are, doesn't it? Pathetic."
