Giang realized what was going on even as she moved backward to avoid the apparent "attack" from the Legion that had been trying to sneak up on her. The Legion that had been in the store was already starting to move to make an attack just where the Asian teen had moved. But Giang was not about to let that happen. Stepping further back with her right foot, she turned to face the first Legion, her hands sweeping up and together in front of her as another blast of water erupted out of thin air. The twisting coils of water struck the already wet Legion square in the chest, this time knocking the wind out of her. The force of the blast was so powerful that it lifted the young woman up off her feet and carried her back into the store, where she collided with one, and then a second clothing rack, becoming entangled in a mess of clothes as finally came to a halt in the middle of the showroom floor. "I believe I will be able to do just fine." Giang replied calmly as she turned to face the second Legion, ready for an attack.

Tsunami realizes she is being set up (getting a 25 on a Knowledge: Tactics check). So, she blasts at Legion 3 before she can make the counter attack, hitting with a 26. Legion 3 only gets a 18 on her toughness save this time, so she is bruised and dazed, and knocked back a good way. Crimson is up!

GM The new Legion that just arrived immediately rushes towards Crimson Tiger, her staff whipping around behind her before she swung it upward for an overhead strike at the teenage martial artists. But Crimson Tiger was able to dodge to the side as the staff came whistling down, just missing her. Crimson could tell that if Legion had not focused on trying to set herself up to defend against any counterattack, the attack would likely have been successful. Legion quickly pulled the staff back up in front of her, waiting for Crimson's move. Having lost the chance to sneak up on Tsunami, the additional Legion simply charged forward. "Let's see how you do against two opponents when you can't shoot them in the back." Her stance shifted to be ready to dodge one of the teen’s water blasts, while she swung her staff in a low arc in front of her, aiming to make the Asian teen step backward, and right into the path of a follow up attack from the Legion that had been in the store.

Round Three 30 Legion 1a (unharmed) 29 Legion 3a (unharmed) 28 Legion 1 (bruised, dazed) 23 Tsunami (unharmed, 2 HP) 23 Crimson Tiger (unharmed, 3 HP) 20 Glamazon (unharmed, 0 HP) 19 Legion 3 (unharmed) 14 Legion 2 (unharmed) Legion 1a comes at Crimson with a def attack (-2 atk/+2 def), but misses with a 20. Legion 3a comes at Tsunami defence shifted (-4 atk/+4 def) and tries to use the aid other to give Legion 3 a bonus to attack Tsunami, succeeds with a 15 vs DC 10.

Okay, Fighter 11, who had moved over to attack Harry is going to chase after him. That means it is Bloody Mess' turn! (Freddy has Fighter's 4 and 8 on him, but the doorway is also clear now so he can move into the hall if he wants, where the two Battle Brothers are)
-
Yeah, that is a hit. Fighter 5 only gets an 8 on his toughness save, so he is out cold.
-
"Oh, that would just be too easy now wouldn't it?" The costumed young woman facing Thaelia said with a grin. "But rest assured there are enough of me to deal with you and your red tiger and water using friends as well. At least, I assume they are your friends." She then added. A grin came to her face as her staff spun once more in her hand. "I'm Legion by the way." The young woman's weapon became a blur, and Thaelia was unable to avoid the end that came whipping in her direction. The staff connected solidly with the side of the Atlantean teen's head. It was a skillful blow, to be certain, but with gritted teeth, Thaelia took the hit, remaining firmly in place as she stayed squared off with the costumed criminal.
-
Legion 2 will attack Glamazon again, standard attack this time, and hits with a 21. So DC 19 toughness save for Glam.
-
Legion 3 will jump off the counter and charge Tsunami, taking a swing at her, but misses with a 16. Stealth roll for Legion 3a is a 22. Tsunami just spots her with a 25.

GM Crimson Tiger's powerful kick knocked the masked woman she was facing off her feet and sent her crashing to the ground a good fifteen feet away. The woman was hurt, and dazed, but she did not seem to be out of the fight at all. Suddenly Crimson heard a voice call to her from one side. "You are pretty good, luckily I never fight alone." Another woman dressed in an identical costume flipped over the front row of the gathered crowd, landing in the open space to face the heroine. As Crimson got a better look, she thought the new figure looked exactly like the young woman she had just knocked to the ground. The new arrival flicked open a collapsible staff as well a she added. "I am after all Legion." Up at the outdoor clothing store, the now wet Legion standing on the counter of the store turned to fully face Giang, who could now see she did indeed look exactly like the young woman who had been attacking the security guards on the lower floor. "Well, that was not very heroic, shooting someone in the back like that." With skilled ease, the young woman flipped off the counter and the charged forward, her staff coming back as she closed with the Asian Teen. But Giang was ready for the attack, ducking down slightly as the staff whistled over her head. Standing back upward, she took a step backward, to put a little more room between her and her attacker when she saw a reflection in the glass windows of the store. Another similarly dressed figure had been trying to sneak up behind her. Glancing quickly over her shoulder, Giang saw another young woman that looked exactly like the others, holding a staff at the ready.
-
So that hits, Mali's opponent only gets a 15 on her Toughness save, so she is bruised and dazed, and knocked back a good 15 feet or so onto her rear end.
-
She is not fooled, getting a 32 on her Acrobatics check to counter.
-
Giang smiled as she saw Mali appear, leading a teenage boy she did not recognize. It was rather apparent that Mali was providing a tour, now that she and Giang were both part of the Senior class at the school, they both were asked to provide such tours for new arrivals. Rising back up gracefully, Giang gave a small bow towards Will as he was introduced. "It is very nice to meet you Will. Welcome to Claremont." The Asian teen saw a man and a woman, along with an eight year old girl, walking a short distance behind whom she took to be Will's parents and likely younger sister.
-
Hehe, which way? Down the hall where Crimson Tiger came from? (which is towards the stairs/exit) or past the supervillains in the direction that Lucy was thrown? (though there are more guys with guns/fighters that appear to be up that way at the moment)

Giang frowned slightly as tempers began to flare between her roommate and Cho. The Asian teen did not believe that Cho had meant anything with her comments, which seemed in part to be downplaying herself, but Thaelia was not one to overlook them so easily. As the confrontation seemed to be escalating, Giang decided separating the two might be the quickest way to bring tempers back under control. Reaching out to the pond and fountain in the nearby Zen Garden, the teenager drew away much of the water, which coiled through the air as it flew to where the four teenage girls were standing. The water suddenly flowed in between Thaelia and Cho, the sudden appearance causing their hands to separate as the water quickly took the shape of a wall between the teenage girls, becoming slightly more opaque as it seemed to solidify. Thaelia knew well enough that was exactly what had happened, and that the solid water objects Giang could form were harder than steel. "Let's both take a step back and take a few deep breaths shall we?" The Asian teen stated, her voice still calm and steady. "Cho, I am assuming you did not mean anything with your comments. While being a member of the Atlantean royal family certain has its benefits, I can tell you from having spent some time in Atlantis with Thaelia over the summer that it comes with its duties as well, which includes training in warfare to protect against the many dangers of the ocean depths. Thaelia's family also has a close connection with this school and superhero work. Her uncle, the king, was a member of the Freedom League, and her cousin, Nereid, is an alumni from this school." Giang then turned to her roommate as she continued. "And you Thaelia, know full well that this school's primary purpose is to help students learn to control and cope with their abilities. Not everyone here will choose to use their powers to fight crime, and that in no way reduces their worth or their right to be here."

Velocity glanced around in surprise as everything was bathed in red light. She then regarded the time agent once more a sneer of her lovely face. "Oh, that's right, this is completely my fault. It has nothing to do with the fact you lot are running around kidnapping people and generally doing whatever you want because you cannot be bothered with the moral implications of your actions or otherwise acting like jerks." "You will have to excuse me if I had little confidence that Robert would be returned to me unharmed, let alone returned at all." "Now stop your winning and tell me where the problem is and I will do what I can." The speedster finished as she lowered Robert down to sit on the floor.
-
Giang gave a small smile as Thaelia appeared, calling out to her about the water in the pool. The Asian teen could not help but shake her head slightly at the Atlantean teen's question about the sturdiness of the two new arrivals. "You will not be asked to take part in sort of dangerous testing of your abilities unless that is something you wish to pursue." She replied to Cho's questions about how she might be required to test her durability. "Also, it is generally viewed as bad manners here to question fellow students about their abilities if they have not brought up the subject themselves. Obviously the members of the school staff will discuss your abilities with you, but with the goal of helping provide what resources you may need to learn to control them and as part of developing any additional curriculum for you." She offered kindly. "Cho, Georgia, may I introduce my roommate, Thaelia, a member of the royal family of Atlantis." The Asian teen then made by way of introduction.

Giang Trang was floating in the rough waters of a vast ocean, the waves and tides swirling around her. The churning waters of her emotions and concerns threatened to submerge the Asian teen and pull her deep beneath the surface. But such danger would hardly be a concern for her in the real world, and her in her own thoughts it was no different. The teenager focused on the current and eddies around her, subtly shifting them bit by bit, just as she was able to control the flow of water in the physical world. Slowly, all the chaotic thoughts, stress and emotions that had been rolling through Giang began to subside, as the waters around her began to calm. After a short while, she was floating in the center of a still stretch of water, a smooth as a sheet of glass. Giang gave herself a short while to take comfort in the order and control she had reestablished, before letting out a deep breath and opening her eyes to the rising sun of the morning. The Asian teen was sitting crosslegged in the middle of Claremont's Zen Garden, her back and posture straight and perfect. Although it was a cold December morning, she was only wearing a black T-shirt and dark grey yoga pants, the cold not bothering her in the least. She still had a bit of time before her first class of the morning as she heard voices approaching..

You certainly have enough movement to run over the fence, through the yard and up part of the wall, but even then your running long jump is only 22', and they are further than that from the walls. The angle is probably wrong to try to blow the two flying girls into a wall, but you could at least try to blow them in the direction of the plant.

Giang frowned slightly at the announcement by the woman calling herself Legion. The Asian teen could not imagine how she expected to get much of anything from the store, seeing as most transactions were by way of debit cards these days. But the similarly dressed woman that had been attacking the security guards on the lower level had seemed serious enough, so the teenager had to treat this seriously. With a thought, a shimmering sheen of water formed around the teenager, providing her a barrier of protection as she stepped into the entrance of the shop. "There shall be no robbery today Legion." She called out as she brought her hands up in front of her and sent a blast of water streaking through the air at the costumed woman. Although attacking by surprise was not one of her preferred tactics, Giang was well aware of the advantage of such tactics, particularly when facing an unknown threat. The twisting coils of water struck Legion on her right side with powerful force. But despite having caught the costumed criminal by surprise, Legion only staggered a step but otherwise remained on her feet. She was now rather wet, but otherwise appeared unharmed by the attack. "Everyone please stay down and try to work your way to an exit." Giang called out as she realized this might be more dangerous than she had anticipated.

Legion 3 is not paying close attention to what is going on at the front of the store as Tsunami activates her forcefield and steps into to send a water blast at her. Tsunami only gets a 14 on her attack roll, but as she caught the bad guy (girl) flat footed, that just hits. (DC 26 toughness save). Legion 3 just makes her toughness check! And Crimson is up!
-
GM The young woman turned quickly to regard Crimson Tiger, twirling her staff around once as she regarded the heroine. "Well, this should be interesting. Let's do this then!" She stated before rushed forward, her staff spinning a few times before sweeping around in a wide arc. Though her opponent was clearly trained with her weapon, Crimson easily saw the start of the attack and ducked underneath with ease. The other woman quickly recovered as well, shifting her stance as she spun the staff back in front of her, clearly testing out the heroine and preparing for a counterattack.

So, Round Two 28 Legion 1 (unharmed) 23 Tsunami (unharmed, 2 HP) 23 Crimson Tiger (unharmed, 3 HP) 20 Glamazon (unharmed, 1 HP) 19 Legion 3 (unharmed) 14 Legion 2 (unharmed) So, Crimson's opponent will move in to attack (also using defensive attack -2 atk/+2 def to start), and she also misses badly with a 13.

GM Giang managed to slip through the crowds while running down the wide balcony towards the store she had seen the figure disappear into. The Asian teen reached the front of the store, which was a clothing store that also specialized in outdoor equipment. Glancing in, she at first saw no sign of the figure, but could guess that someone odd had entered the store, as a number of customers near the front were all looking back further into the store, the expressions on their faces either confused or slightly worried. Then suddenly the figure leapt up onto a counter near the island of registers in the center of the store. It was another woman, about the same height as the one that had been attacking the security guards, wearing an identical costume. Giang's eyes narrowed slightly as she regarded the figure, it was hard to tell as she was behind the woman, but the hair seemed identical to the first's as well. The figure then flicked open a collapsible staff as she yelled out, "alright, listen up! I am Legion, and this is a robbery! If everyone just keeps calm and doesn't try to interfere, no one will get hurt!" Thaelia sprinted off in the opposite direction than Giang, her eyes darting around as she tried to spot the other figure that her two friends had apparently seen. Though she was the fastest of the three, she was hampered somewhat by a combination of the crowds and not knowing exactly where the figure had gone. So she would quickly cover a short distance, glance around and then continue moving, pushing people out of the way at times as gently as she could. Her passage certainly caused some disruption in the crowd. But then the Atlantean teen spotted a figure in a costume identical to the one worn by the woman that had attacked the security guards. Calling out her challenge, the figure stopped and turned around to face the voice, the crowd already moving aside some at the sight of the costumed young woman. To Thaelia's surprise, the young woman appeared (as much as someone wearing a mask could) to be identical to the young woman that Mali was currently confronting. "Daughter of the seas huh?" The young woman said with a faint grin as she flicked open a collapsible staff of her own. "Well...let's see what you got shall we?" She rushed forward, spinning the staff with obvious skill before launching a sweeping strike at the Atlantean teen. But the woman's attack was a bit mistimed, and Thaelia was able to easily step back and avoid the attack. The woman recovered quickly, taking a step backward herself as she spun the staff in front of her, her stance now defensive.

Glamazon manages to catch up with unknown 1, who turns and attacks her with a staff. But misses terribly with a 11. (she used defensive attack -2 atk/+2 def). IC post incoming.
