Multi-Girl Out of stage, Bernadette and the rest of the band only paused a few moments after they finished the first song before they started into the next, a rendition of Joan Jett and the Blackharts’ I Love Rock 'N Roll. For this song, Bernadette began moving about the stage as she sang. They then went to two very different songs, Sheryl Crow’s Soak Up The Sun followed by ABBA’s Dancing Queen, both with a bit of a rock edge to them. For the finally, they went with the high tempo, high energy Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue, which had heavy guitar and drums before Bernadette began singing. Ooooho yeaaah Yeaaaaaaaah When I get high, I get high on speed Top fuel funny car's a drug for me My heaaaaart, my heart, Kickstart my heaaaaart Always got the cops coming after me Custom built bike doing 103 My heaaaaart, my heart, Kickstart my heaaaaart Ooooh, are you ready girls? Ooooh, are you ready Woaaaaah, yeaaaaah Kickstart my heart Give it a start Woaaaaah, yeaaaaah, baaaabyyyyy Woaaaaah, yeaaaaah Kickstart my heart Hope it never stops Woaaaaah, yeaaaaah, baaaabyyyyyyyyy, yeah! The high energy performance continued for the rest of the song, before it finally came to an end, as Bernadette looked out at the crowed with a wide smile.

GM As soon as the group of heroes transporting over to the hanger arrived, Ghost and Patriot disappeared as he teleported them further into the vessel. A moment later, the pair appeared in the large engineering space toward the aft of the cruiser, near the massive power core that powered the vessel. Their sudden appearance taking the various technicians and engineers by surprise. In the hanger, several of the forces gathered began to act. Further into the hanger, a pair of aliens dressed in black jumpsuits moved to where they were able to see Velocity as she did her circle around the hanger. One of the aliens unleased a mental blast on the speedster, causing her to stumble slightly from the pain, but she kept going, as the other alien’s telekinetic blast passed harmlessly behind her. Over where the other heroes were gathered, another telepathic alien delivered a similar mental blast to Moon-Moth, while a telekinetic blast tore a gouge in the deck near Gaian Knight. A short distance away, a Justicar stepped out of several of the gathered alien troops, focusing on Justicar Vor'an among the other heroes. "Ah, the whelp's pet Justicar." He called out, leveling his power pike at Vor'an and firing a blast of energy at him. However, the blast missed the intended target, flying back to blast a trooper further into the hanger off his feet. A larger, seven foot tall reptilian alien with red scales and tusks came rushing toward Artificer, drawing a large sword as he went. The Boran swung the sword down at the Atlantean when Vor'an stepped in front of the attack, blocking it with his left forearm, causing the large blade to deflect away and tear a gouge in the deck. Further into the hanger, another Boran leveled a large blaster at Velocity, firing as she sped by and managing to hit her. Again the speedster momentarily stumbled, but kept going as she shook off the blast. Two seven and a half foot tall mechs moved up near the Boran and opened fire after Velocity with their large arm mounted blasters. Both blasts when wide, once smashing into a parked fighter, the other hitting the inner wall of the hanger and blasting a hole in it. Over towards the center of the hanger, another of the mechs moved into the open and leveled its blaster at Gaian Kight and fired a blast that struck him.

Okay, bad guys start doing stuff, thankfully not yet able to bring everything to bear, yet. Starting with some Hounds. One telepath has LoS on Velocity and hits her with a mind blast (DC 20 Will save), she gets a 19 and will take a bruise. A telekinetic one tries to hit her with a TK blast, missing with a 23. Another telepathic one will mind blast Moon-Moth, @Exaccus DC 20 Will save for Moon-Month. Another telekinetic one tries to blast Gaian Knight, missing with a 10. A Justicar will step out of one of the crowds and try to blast Vor'an, missing with a 15. A Boran Lieutnenant will rush forward to attack Artificer, Vor'an will Interpose, 24, hits, but bounces off his Impervious. Another tires to blast Velocity, hitting with a 29. DC 25 toughness save. terrible first roll, so will HP, 32, she is fine. Two Hunters shot at Velocity, missing with 13 and 24. Another Hunter will fire at Gaian Knight, hitting with a 21, that is a DC 25 toughness save for Gaian @Fox The Init 18 bad guy is not around to act, so, assuming Gaian makes his save, it is his turn @Fox

@RocketLord Spaceman will be up once Huck posts IC for Rot.

That would be the three around Baz (which are the paralyzed and slowed ones). The Paralyzed do not get reflex checks, the slowed one does at -1. It still gets a 25, and avoids the attack thanks to Evasion. The other two have the DC 18 Fort saves: 26 and 12, so one resists the drain, the other loses 6 Toughness. DC 23 toughness saves, the one that lost its toughness fails and is down. The other gets a 19, so fails that anyway, so is down. So, the two paralyzed ones are down.

Skill mastery for 20 for Bernadette.

@Kaede Kimura Yes, they are minions. Will go with the remaining group of four. They get: 20, 16, 11, 26 for toughness saves, so three go down. @Huckleberry Rot is up. There are five left standing. 3 around Baz (one slowed, 2 paralyzed), 1 a bit further away that is fully active, and one further than that, also fully active.

Yeah, that easily spots it. So, move action to look for the reactor. You can easily reach the reactor room with your teleport as part of your second move action.

Tsunami Giang moved to an alleyway a short distance from the factor, near another building slightly taller than the factory. Once in the shadows, she reached out to the water collecting on the ground of the alley and flowing through downspouts, pulling it underneath her feet. Soon, she was rising up into the air on a column of water that lifted her up onto the rooftop as she let the water flow away. Walking over towards the edge of the roof that looked down at the roof of the Superior Silks building. Once again the water controller pulled water from around her, the rooftop, even the rain falling from the sky, as she created what looked like a thin stream of water in the air that she jumped up onto before it carried her out towards the rooftop of the factory.

Timeout Gamma Buzz connects with his radioactive punch, caving in the side of the metallic creature’s head and sending it flying back a short way to land on the pavement. Back at the main group, Lawrence seemed surprised by the turn of events as he looked at the others. "This is not part of our timeline." The blond teen then took a step forward and raised one hand as a burst of temporal energy spread outward in all directions from him. The temporal distortion wrapped harmlessly around all his friends and the teenage version of his mother. But it slammed into the four remaining metallic creatures. Four of them completely froze in place, trapped in time. Two others had their movements noticeably slowed, while the remaining two seemed to shake off any ill effects from the temporal distortion.

Okay, Timeout is going to Accurate Attack -1 Dam/+1 hit with his Paralyze effect and Take 10 to just hit the 8 remaining enemy in sight. DC 19 Will saves vs. Paralyze: 11, 25, 19, 14, 15, 18, 14, and 8, so, four are Paralyzed, 2 are Slowed and 2 are unaffected. @Kaede Kimura Blue Bolt is up! @Huckleberry Rot will be up next.

It just misses the toughness save and is down.

Okay, then she will auto pass Won't change things this round, but at least she is clear to act next round. Also, Ghule picks up an injured and dazed.

@RocketLord Give me a Notice Check to search for it.

GM The supervillain with the glowing energy disks watched as Stormcrow dropped down to try to push back the two Legion that had been standing over Multi-Girl. "Let's keep the duplicator down." He called out, throwing one of the energy rings at Multi-Girl and striking with pin-point accuracy. “Aaaah." Multi-Girl screamed out as green electricity arched over her when the energy ring stuck, but the redhead managed to shake it off as she pushed herself partially upright. Over by Shift, two of the women identified as Legion moved in toward her, twirling their staffs as they did. "You seem like you pack a punch. But can you take one?" One of them said as she rushed forward, bringing her staff down toward Shift. However, the robot stepped aside…right into the path of the second Legion’s attack, which struck her squarely in the side. One of the Legion Nightscale had sent flying ran back toward the overturned transport and leapt up to where Shadowborne was standing, calling out as she did. "A bit over confident aren't we?" She asked as she swung her staff down at Shadowborne, who easily blocked it with the haft of her spear. Meanwhile the three Legion facing Ghule had moved into a circle around her, grinning as the zombie young woman made desperate attempts to hit them with her bone weapons. "Need some pointers?" One asked. "We can help." Replied another as she and the first lunged in, both striking Ghule with their staff, one connecting on the side of her head. Meanwhile, the third attacked from behind, hitting the zombie young woman in the back. Over near where Multi-Girl lay on the ground now in agony from being shocked, the two Legion facing Stormcrow readied themselves as they grinned, one rubbing her jaw where she had been hit by his staff. "Hit a nerve there did we?" One asked as they both moved in to attack, but Stormcrow easily blocked the first attack, and while he blocked the second, it was a bit of a call. "What are you going to do if we hit her again?" As a third Legion, another that had been sent flying by Nighscale's wind gust, as she brought her staff above her head and started to swing it down toward Multi-Girl. At that moment a large armored figure dropped out of the sky, landing between the Legion and Multi-Girl. The figure stood nearly six and a half feet tall and was dressed in teal armor with a black under suit visible at the joints. On each shoulder pauldron of the armor was a black circle with a yellow eight-pointed starburst in the middle. A similar, much larger white starburst covered the armor’s chest plate. The figure was male, with grey-blue skin, high cheekbones and a flowing mane of white hair and tapered ears. He easily caught Legion's staff in his right hand, holding it firmly in place as he looked down at the woman as she tried to pull it free. "I do not think so." He said in heavily accented English.

Okay, Sureshot is going to attack Multi-Girl, hitting (despite her being prone) with a 28, that is a DC 21 fort save vs. Stun for her. She gets a 19, so picks up continuous Daze until she makes a save (+1 each round to the save). She therefore cannot act on her turn. So, the three Legion that Ghule is facing will attack her, 28, 30, 22 (one being a critical hit!). So that is two DC 23 toughness saves and 1 DC 28 toughness save for Ghule @Lone_Star Two Legion are going to attack Shift, 23 and 17, so one hit, a DC 23 toughness save for Shift @Heritage One Legion is going to run over and leap up where Shadowborne is and attack her, missing with a 17. Two are going to attack Stormcrow, 14 and 24, so close with one, but a miss. The third near Multi-Girl (that Nightscale blew over there) is going to try to hit her as well....and Star Khan will interpose and block the attack with his Impervious. Adding him to the initiative order now: Round Two 26 Paper 3 HP (unharmed) 25 Stormcrow HP (unharmed) 19 Shadowborne 3 HP (bruised) 18 Ghule 2 HP (injured, dazed) 16 Sureshot (unharmed) 16 Multi-Girl 2 HP (bruised, prone) 15 Legion (unharmed x9 / one near MG/SC bruised) 13 Shift 3 HP (unharmed) 10 Visor (bruised, prone) 10 Star Khan (unharmed) 9 Nightscale 5 HP (unharmed) 6 Big Horn (unharmed) @Heritage Shift is up, pending the results of her toughness save above.

Timeout As Velocity was listening to the various descriptions of the missing Claremont students, Lawrence glanced up toward Consuelo as she asked for more about the story behind the giant robot mummy. "Well, in our timeline, it was a test run by Toy Boy for a teleportation system to deliver his robotic creations wherever he wanted to send them. I suppose the same is likely true here." The blond teen replied. The teenage version of his mother glanced over. "Toy Boy? That creep? Better than Otaku I guess." She replied, sticking out her tongue with a disgusted look on her face before she continued listening to the others describe their missing classmates. Lawrence looked over at Vueriz as she set about describing Bernadette. "Ummm, Multi-Girl actually has red hair, not black." He said. "The other twin is Iris, who looks a lot like her brother, just a bit shoter." "Hmm, okay, eight missing friends, though one that can create copies of herself, so, possibly a lot more than that." The teenage Velocity said with a slight grin. She glanced over to Mizuki as the other girl mentioned a barrier. "I am not sure what barrier you are talking about. Any idea how big?" Suddenly the group of teens heard the faint sound of explosions in the distance and several long, thin objects streaked though the air high above, passing in and out of sight in a moment. “What the heck were those?” Velocity stated as she looked up into the air, trying to catch a glimpse of what had flown by. Suddenly, another three long, almost needlelike silver objects came slamming down into the street, each impacting a short distance apart in an area stretching two blocks from where the teens were all gathered. Moments after impact, the sides of each of the objects peeled away, each releasing four humanoid forms of various shapes and sizes, each covered in silver metal similar to that of the needlelike objects they had been inside. The dozen silvery humanoids looked about the area, long clawlike fingers crackling with green energy. The four closest to the teens focused on them, opening their mouths as a harsh, electronic static sound came out. Velocity winced slightly at the jarring sound, glancing over at the others. "They don't look friendly, I'll try to take out furthest four, you all can start with the rest." The teenage speedster became a blur of yellow once again as she sped off towards the furthest group of four. As she reached the area near the four figures, the blur seemed to accelerate with a loud *CRACK* as she broke the sound barrier. That was followed immediately by a loud BOOM as a concussive shockwave exploded out in all directions. Velocity was already two blocks away as the shockwave slammed into the four figures, blasting three of them and sending them flying to land in unmoving heaps. The fourth managed to weather the concussive shock wave, as loose debris was thrown about and car windows smashed in. The yellow blur of Velocity turned off the right, and a second latter came speeding back from behind the group, having looped several blocks around. "It looks like there are more of those things three blocks to the east." She said, pointing off to the right.

Round One 38 Velocity (unharmed) 32 Gamma Buzz 2 HP (unharmed) 24 Timeout 5 HP (unharmed) 21 Blue Bolt 3 HP (unharmed) 21 Rot 4 HP (unharmed) 20 Spaceman 4 HP (unharmed) 20 Golden Star 1 HP (unharmed) 17 Torpedo Lass II 3 HP (unharmed) 13 Drones (many) 10 Sever 3 HP (unharmed) Velocity will set off a Sonic Boom by four of the bad guys, DC 20 reflex save to halve the effect, 14, 19, 16, 9. They all have DC 25 toughness saves to make: 20, 8, 25, 12, so one makes it. @Supercape Then it is Gamma Buzz’s turn

Timeout Lawrence had turned away from the sight of all the dinosaurs to focus on Kazra as she talking about the goals for the trip. The blond teen wondered why the headmistress had sent him on this trip, while he could understand the importance of survival skills, there were other things that were of more pressing concern on his mind. But he tried to stay focused as the twins and Neko spoke up. "Well, I was going to say setting up near water could be a problem as that is often where all the larger animals in an area typically go as well." He commented. "Although, fire could certainly help with that." He added, giving a nod to Neko.

Timeout Lawrence was mostly quiet during the trip to the waterfront, seemingly contemplating something during the dive. Once they arrived, he followed along with the group as Ms. Harcourt led them down to a small wooden dock by the water. Stopping along with the other students, the blond teen watched as Sea Devil’s form emerged from the water. Although he had never seen a Deep One before, Lawence had spent time on CoVic Station, so he had seen many different aliens, including several of the more unusual members of the Pretorians, so Sea Devil’s appearance was not as shocking or strange as it might be to some of his fellow classmates. He gave Sea Devil a warm smile. "A pleasure to meet you Ms. Innsmouth. Lawrence Harrow."

@Dr Archeville @Supercape Time for initiative

GM "My armor does allow me to survive in the void, so it will protect me from gas." Star Khan answered when Doktor Archeville suggested the two of them were unlikely to be bothered by Starshot's gas grenades. "I am ready when you are Doktor." With the plan in place, Star Khan and Doktor Archeville continued forward, while Starshot moved to find concealment and follow covertly after them. It was not much further into the cave before it opened into a large chamber, in the center of which were a dozen figures in tattered brown robes which completely hid their features. As the pair entered, the chanting halted, the robed figures turning toward them. One of the figures furthest to the back of the room spoke up. "You should not be here." It hissed menacingly.

@MoonSimply So, Puma is up first, if she is doing anything yet.

Okay, will get this up now and add TA when he is able to get a roll for Jotunn. ROUND ONE 32 La Puma Negra 4 HP (Unharmed) 28 El Gato (Unharmed) 21 Kismet (Unharmed) 18 Cerebral 3 HP (Unharmed) 16 Starshine 4 HP (Unharmed) 15 Multi-Girl 3 HP (Unharmed) 15 Copper Knight (Unharmed) 14 Archer (Unharmed) 12 Neko 3 HP (Unharmed) 11 Jotunn 4 HP (unharmed) 6 Omegadrones (many) 4 Cerebellum (Unharmed)

Multi-Girl I’m a T-Baby, o' course I realize how big this is. Bernadette mentally "responded" to Rosalind. My father is just eighteen an' new ta the merchant marine on one o' the cargo ships in the harbor. She then glanced over to Carmen. I don' know where you think we can go, but yer choice. Archer gave Neko a cold stare as she asked about someplace safe to tell people to go. "Some place safe? For the entire city?" He asked. Kismet quickly spoke up, her tone serious, but slightly softer than Archers. "Telling people to try to move anywhere right now is probably the worst thing to do. It will put all those people out onto the streets, which will be chaos and will make them clustered targets, which will drastically increase the casualties. Until some sort of reasonably safe evacuation routs can be established, best thing to do is get somewhere inside where they can barricade themselves in." She looked over the group of teens and then to Archer. "You all stay alive till I get back." She said with a faint smile before jogging off towards one of the side exits for the warehouse. Archer and El Gato made their way over to one of the main entrances. Outside could be heard more explosions, along with gunfire. "Sounds like the police are in a bit of trouble." El Gato snarled as she listened and sniffed the air. "Then we should go help them." Bernadette said as one of her duplicates popped into existence. "As Kismet just said, we're goin' ta need all the help we can get." The duplicate added. Archer regarded her a moment and then drew an arrow from his quiver, nocking it but not yet drawing it back. "Let's go."
