Timeout In addition to his own teleportation portals, Lawrence had been through ones that took him across vast distances in space and time (including as far as CoVic Station). But none had been quite as unsettling at Sea Devil's portal. Still, the blond teen pushed the uneasiness aside as he took in the surroundings of the abandoned oil rig and then focused on the other Deep One Sea Devil was interacting with. Heading Ms. Harcourt's warning, Lawrence regarded the various artwork from the Deep One’s without lingering on each part of it too long. It certainly appeared that Sea Devil had some important status in this tribe, but exactly how much, or how that might have changed the tribe’s behaviors was less clear. Watching as the hunters began climbing up the rig towards the platform where the Claremont students were gathered, Lawrence glanced over to Sea Devil with a slight frown at her last comments. "Are you saying they are expecting some sort of display of strength?" He asked.

Okay, you will catch the Hunter on you and eventually the two others that moved up to get shots on Velocity: so three DC 25 Reflex checks: all miss so three DC 30 toughness checks: 11, 19, 25 so take out the one on you, another is staggered and dazed, the third is bruised and dazed. You hit the Boran Lt fighting Vor'an and then the one that shot at Moon-Moth: two DC 25 Reflex checks: both miss so DC 30 toughness saves for them: 19 and 14 so the one on Vor'an is staggered and dazed, the other is out. You also hit the Boran minion that attacked you and two others in the crowd, three DC 25 Reflex checks: one actually made it. So a DC 22 toughness save and 2 DC 30 toughness saves (first is the DC 22): 27, 15, 29 so the first one (the one on Gaian Knight) makes it, the other two are out. You also hit both of the Hound Telepathys: DC 25 reflex checks: both miss, two DC 30 toughness saves: 23 and 20 one bruised and dazed, one staggered and dazed. And you take out a lot of the troopers.

Timeout gets a 21

Multi-Girl Bernadette initially backed up at the sudden appearance of the giant Crimson Katana (despite being Neko's roommate and knowing full well about her illusions). Thankfully Rosalinda called out about it not being real, allowing the redhead’s senses to follow what her mind knew and allow her to not be distracted by the illusion. There was one Omegadrone left in their immediate area, attacking Neko, so the Irish teen picked up one of the pikes dropped by one of the armored figures one of her duplicates had knocked out before. Hefting it like a javelin, Bernadette took a step and hurled it through the air, impaling the Omegadrone right through its torso and causing it to drop out of the air to the ground. Looking back towards the illusion, she stated. "It is workin' for the moment, but eventually they are goin' ta realize it is not there."

@Avenger Assembled Owain is up, though there are no ememies around right now.

Okay, Multi-Girl's Will Save vs the Illusion was a 17, but reading the rules about Illusions, when someone communicates the fact it is an illusion there is a +4 on the save, so should be a 21, so she passed. She will pick up one of pike of an Omegadrone she took out and throw it at the last one power attack -2/+2, take 10 to hit. Not sure if this should be her Str +2 for improvised weapon (+2 for the power attack) or the strike of the device (+2 power attack), but the Omegadrone got an 11 toughness save, so doesn't really matter either way.

Multi-Girl Bernadette watched as the crowd began to panic and started fleeing the scene as the situation started to become apparent. The redhead felt an anger well up in her but could not do anything about it at the moment, not with so many bystanders still around. Leon was trying to get them clear and keep the ninja back, but the barrier he had put up was only a momentary delay. Backing up toward the entrance to backstage, the Irish teen kept a close eye on the gathering ninja, both on the ground and up in the rafters. She prepared to dodge any attacks as she waited for some opening where she might be able to better help.

Okay, lacking any good range option (especially with bystanders still around) and not sure where/what Bernadette would have done with her costume, I will have her move to the edge of the stage near the entrance to back stage and take the dodge action.

Multi-Girl Bernadette gave Carmen a small smirk as the cat-girl tried to tease her about snakes and spiders. "I grew up with two older brothers, I learned not ta be bothered by havin' such things dropped onta me at a young age." Hearing that there were potentially mountain lions or smaller canines in the area did not really bother the Irish teen, as give her an idea of what they might potentially encounter. The redhead followed after Dr. Macedon as she led the group towards the cave, regularly checking to make sure the others were all keeping up. Taking out a flashlight of her own, she followed their guide into the cave entrance. "Do we not want ta check further in ta make shoor there is nothin' sleepin' there that might not like our presence?" She asked.

Multi-Girl Bernadette heard Vik's voice, and reached up with one hand to wipe at some of the sweat on her forehead, which allowed her to also brush away the tears that had been forming. Standing upright, the redhead turned to look over to Vik, managing a faint smile. "Hey Vik," she replied, "I'm…just dealin' with some things from yesterday. Wouldn' want ta burden you with any o' that." When Vik mentioned needing a spotter, the Irish teen gave a small nod and started over towards her teammate. "Shoor, be happy ta help with spots. I'll be honest, ever since my powers activated at the end o' my Freshman year, I have not really had ta do much in the way o' liftin' but still am stronger than an Olympic weightlifter. Not that it shows." Bernadette said holding her arms out to the side. While she did have an athletic and lithe figure, she did not look like someone able to lift a ton.

@Huckleberry @Supercape @The Sailor @RocketLord @Thunder King @Poncho @Kaede Kimura Okay, out of combat for the moment (though I will just keep the current initiative order when we get back so we don't have to have a delay of getting new initiative rolls again). For those that were hurt by the Communion drone attacks, Lawrence has healed the injuries everyone picked up, but the bruises are still there (he also healed the worst injury the cop had). 38 Velocity (unharmed) 32 Gamma Buzz 2 HP (bruised) 24 Timeout 5 HP (unharmed) 21 Blue Bolt 2 HP (bruised 2) 21 Rot 4 HP (unharmed) 20 Spaceman 3 HP (bruised) 20 Golden Star 2 HP (unharmed) 17 Torpedo Lass II 3 HP (unharmed) 10 Sever 1 HP (bruised)

Timeout Mizuki's energy blast knocked the silvery insect creature out of the air above Baz, sending it crashing to the pavement a few feet away. The last remaining insect creatures, the one that had attacked Consuelo, both suddenly turned and flew off down the street away from the group of teens, moving incredibly quickly (almost as fast as Velocity) and were soon out of sight behind buildings up the block. From where he was standing, Lawrence sent out another wave of temporal energy, this time one that washed over his friends and the cops, those that had been injured by the Communion drones felt some of their injuries disappear as the blond teen reversed time. Vueriz, Parker, Baz and Sever all had their lacerations healed, although they still felt a bit sore from the attacks. The badly injured police officer had his worst injuries healed, although he was still in rough shape. "It is a bit complicated to fully explain right now, but the short answer is the Communion destroy worlds, like everything on a world." Lawrence replied to Michael's question about what they were. He then looked over to Mizuki. "Yeah, this is very wrong, the Communion never attacked Earth like this in our timeline. We must be in an alternate timeline," He paused a moment, glancing over towards where the teenage version of his mother was near the injured police officer, "but it felt familiar, and does not explain the temporal barrier I sense around the city." As everything went still for the moment in the area around the teenagers and the police that had arrived thus far, Parker felt something at the edge of his senses, high up in the air above the city. Then he realized it was not something, but several somethings. Looking up, he soon spotted more than a dozen massive spacecraft moving into position over the eastern part of downtown and the bay. Velocity had spotted them as well, looking up at the ships as they emerged from the high clouds. "That does not look good." She said as the other teens all looked up to see what was gathering in the sky. "Looks like they are more or less over City Center." She stated. Lawrence’s face seemed to darken as he looked up at the fleet of ships in the sky before he raised one hand and opened portal in the air. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I expect if we want any answers, they will be there." He said before stepping into the portal. "Hey! Wait up!" Velocity said before zipping through the portal as well.

It fails its toughness save and goes down.

Multi-Girl Duplicate Out on the stage, one of Bernadette's duplicates had spotted the ninjas up in the rafters as they finished the last song. "Oh bloody hell." She muttered as she moved over towards Summer. Suddenly Leon's voice came over the speakers, apologizing that the show was over as he created a barrier between the stage and the crowed. "Summer, there’s trouble." The duplicate Berandette said. "You an' the others need ta get backstage ta safety." She said, waiting to guide the other band members off stage.

GM Stepping out of the remaining mass of troopers at one end of the hanger, another of the black clad aliens came into view, this one focusing on the fast-moving form of Velocity as it sent a mental blast at the speedster. The mental blast hit the speedster, but this time she barely broke stride as she shook it off and continued moving. The one that had previously targeted Moon-Moth once again hit the Praetorian with a metal blast. The Boran facing off with Justicar Vor'an raised up his battle axe to strike the Zultasian. However, Vor'an was able to deflect the attack side, so the axe once scrapped along the deck of the hanger. Another Boran moved forward, aiming his blaster up at Moon-Moth. The powerful beam shot through the air, striking the Lanturian squarely. Meanwhile, three of the Hunter mecha moved out of the crowd and aimed their main weapons as the barrier Artificer had placed over the hanger opening. All three powerful weapons opened fire, trying to blast the barrier out of the way so the ready fighters could launch to try to deal with the Praetorians outside the ship. Two more of the mecha fired at the fast moving form of Velocity, only to have their blasts pass harmlessly through her. One of the blasted a parked fighter, heavily damaging the spacecraft. The other struck the side of one of the parked dropships, causing it some damage as well. Another of the Hunters rushed forward to close into melee range with Gaian Knight, a plasma blade flashing to life in its main weapon arm, ready to try to cave into the hero.

@Fox Gaian Knight is up!

Okay, a telepathic Hound will hit Velocity with a mental blast again, DC 20: 24 so she makes it this time. Another will hit Moon-Moth with mental blast again as well. @Exaccus DC 20 Will save for Moon-Moth The Boran Lt in melee with Vor'an will try to attack him with a power attack -2atk/+2dam: missing Another Boran Lt moves up to the edge of the remaining massed group of troopers and fires up at Moon-Moth, just hitting with a 17, so a DC 23 toughness save @Exaccus Three Hunters move and open fire on the barricade Artificer put in front of the hanger opening: they all hit @Dr Archeville 3 DC 25 toughness saves for the object Artificer created. Two Hunters will fire at Velocity, blowing up things behind her when the blasts pass harmlessly through her. The Hunter that shot Gaian Knight will double move to get into melee with him.

GM From either side, the two mecha started moving forward towards where the melee was taking place with the heroes. One of the mecha leveled its heavy blaster at Predator, firing a shot that went wide, flashing across the battlefield and past some of the others, before blasting a hole in a wall of a ruined building in the distance. The other mecha fired at Fleur, hitting the ground to the side of her and sending chunks of pavement flying into the air. Hoving in the air, the other Khanate Justicar came flying down towards Paradigm, ready to stab her with his weapon. But Kinarr moved over to place himself in front of the Praetorian, taking the hit intended for her, which scrapped off his shoulder pauldron with seemingly no other effect.

Okay, that is a bruise. The Hunters act, both moving forward, one firing at Predator, one firing at Fleur: both miss ROUND TWO 26 Justicar Wryy (unharmed) 22 Fleur de Joie 3 HP (unharmed) 22 La Puma Negra 3 HP (bruised) 21 Justicar Har’al (bruised, dazed) 20 Paradigm 4 HP (bruised, -1drain on atributes (on rnd 1)) 19 Star-Khan (unharmed) 18 Boran Lieutenants (x2, one facing Predator bruised) 13 Predator 4 HP (bruised) 10 Sovereign (bruised) 10 Tough Aliens (x4) 10 Troopers (two groups: 20 to the left and 22 to the right) 9 Hounds (x3, telepath on left bruised, dazed) 8 Golden Star 2 HP (unharmed) 6 Hunters (x2) Justicar Wryy will fly down to attack Paradigm, Star Khan will interpose: and is hit with a 24; and a 31 on his toughness save. @Electra Fleur is up!

Tsunami Giang gave a sympathetic look as she explained how much of a torment it was to have her hair cut repeatedly by Mr. Silk and his henchmen. "No, I would not like that." She replied to Wrack's comparison. "I certainly do not make light of what you have experienced, but I am still not here to act as an instrument of vengeance, however deserved." She simply remained quiet as Wrack commented on her luck, which to be fair was not a completely inaccurate statement. Giang had not sought out or desired any of the things Wrack listed, yet they had all come to her by way of the designs of her father (even if some were not necessarily intended). Turning to regard Madame Raven, the Asian young woman replied. "I can should be able to provide a distraction once we are ready." She looked down at Silk. "As for him, I am afraid he will likely have to remain down here, perhaps the police will be able to arrest him, but I am not certain we can put much stock in that."

@The Sailor Torpedo Lass is up! Parker just took out the two insect drones attacking her (along with the three around him) There are only two others left, hovering over Baz (who is on the ground) about 125' away. The other up in the air on Consuelo (a bit further than 125' away).

It fails and goes down.

@MoonSimply No, she is not in melee. When Star Khan and Golden Star interposed, they took her place in melee with the attackers, basically shifting her out of melee. Which is why she was shot at.

You keep selling yourself short, a 8 ranks it is DC 23 And, it gets a 28 (they are rolling good against Starshine for some reason)

There are only the five near Parker in that area (the 3 on him and the cop and 2 on Mizuki). They all fail their toughness saves. @Poncho Golden Star is up!
