After hearing the bullet whiz past her, Tsunami rushed forward towards the remaining gunman she was facing. Ducking down under his outstretched hand, her right hand came up above her head, pushing the hand up slightly as she stepped in towards him. The Asian teen's left hand then shot straight up, connecting directly beneath his chin with an open palm strike. The force of the blow knocked the man backward a foot or two as his head snapped back. He crashed down onto the wet floor with a slight spray of water, his pistol falling from his hand as he slipped into unconsciousness. The teenager stood back upright, glancing around her a moment to be sure there were no more threats. Warp's portal was still in place, the crowd of visitors waiting to make their way through greatly diminished at this point, with some now just making their way towards to front exit now that there seemed to be no further threat for the moment. Just then alarms began to sound inside the main tank, as hundreds of bubbles began rising up from the bottom of the tank as the emergency draining system activated and tunnels to guide the animals into the lower habitats opened as well.

Round Seven: Merc 19: 20 Tsunami: 16 (unharmed, 3 HP) Warp: 12 (unharmed, 3 HP) Merc 16: 11 Rinse and repeat for Tsunami (Def 22); Taking 10 on Merc 16: DC 20 Toughness save, and an 18 does not do it.

GM Back down on the main floor, the last remaining gunman glanced around scattered unconscious bodies of his companions for a brief moment before focusing back on the teenage girl in front of him. Raising his pistol, his hand shook slightly as he tried to steady his aim and track the movements of the agile teen. But the shot went wide, missing Tsunami by a good bit and hit the wall behind her. Up on the second floor balcony, the remaining gunman facing Warp turned towards the teenager and swung his sub-machinegun at her. But his attack was rather clumsy, as Warp easily ducked underneath his arm.

Both the gunmen miss their saves and are out.

As the shimmering layer of water surrounding Tsunami deflected the blade of one of the gunmen, the teenager stepped forward to her left and to one side of the man. As she did, she swung her right foot back behind her, arching the leg up and slightly off to her right, allowing her to slam the bottom of her foot into the man's face as he was still lunging for his attack. The force of the blow knocked the man off his feet and he landed unconscious on his back on the hard floor. Swinging her foot back down behind her, Tsunami spun to her right as she sifted her weight back to her right leg as it came down behind her. Her left hand was extended out in front of her and her right hand pulled back to her chest as she focused on the last standing gunman on the main floor.

Round Six: Both Tsunami and Warp are getting another HP, as they both have their arrays locked up at the moment due to the hazard the main bad guy created. Merc 19: 20 Tsunami: 16 (unharmed, 3 HP) Warp: 12 (unharmed, 3 HP) Merc 16: 11 Merc 21: 8 Merc 17: 2 Merc 20: 2 Merc 19 moves over near the edge of the railing on the balcony, and holds his action. Tsunami will continue Pow Atk -3 atk/+3 dam, Def Atk, -2 atk/+2 def, taking 10 to hit Merc 17. DC 20 toughness save, and he gets a: 19, almost, but not good enough!

GM Down on the first floor, the two gunmen both draw long combat knives as they square off against Tsunami. The first gunman rushes towards the teen, swinging his knife in a manner to deliberately make the teen sidestep to her right. The second gunman followed closely behind, taking advantage of the opportunity provided by the first. The second man’s combat knife aimed straight at the teen, but at the last minute she was able to twist slightly and the sheen of water surrounding her deflected the blade harmlessly away. Up on the second floor viewing balcony, Warp had moved towards the three gunmen she spotted up there, closing with one of the three that had a sub-machinegun in his hands. As she came to a halt next to him, the man swung his weapon at the teen, trying to force her to move into a position that would make her an easier target for one of his companions. However, the teen easily dodge away, moving in a different direction than the gunman had intended. The next closest gunman still closed with Warp, drawing his combat knife at he moved. Even with the teen's agile manoeuvring, the man was almost able to stab Warp, if she had not twisted aside at the last moment to avoid any significant injury. The third man up on the balcony was also armed with a sub-machinegun, though he kept it aimed away from the melee as he stayed a good fifteen feet away. Then there was the sound of another muffled explosion, this time from somewhere up on the third floor.

Round Five (updated): Merc 19: 20 Tsunami: 16 (unharmed, 2 HP) Warp: 12 (unharmed, 2 HP) Merc 16: 11 Merc 21: 8 Merc 17: 2 Merc 20: 2 Merc 16 attempts to aid other action against Tsunami: succeeds with an 11. Merc 17 moves in to attack Tsunami (with a +2): Hits with a 23. DC 17 Toughness save: Tsunami gets a 26, so she is just fine. Merc 21 swings his SMG at Warp, also attempting aid action, but he blows even that. Merc 20 rushes forward to try to stab Warp, just getting enough with a 24! (DC 17 toughness save)

Turning to regard the new threats a moment, Tsunami looked over at Warp. "I should be able to deal with these three. You should probably go see what is going on up above. I will catch up when I can." With that the Asian teen rushed towards the gunman with the sub-machinegun. As she drew close, Tsunami leapt into the air, executing a flying scissor kick. With a twist of her body, she sent the man flipping over to slam hard onto the ground, knocking him unconscious. The teen rolled way as she landed on the ground, and with a quick kip-up, was then back on her feet in a defensive stance, facing the other two gunmen.

Round Five: Tsunami: 16 (unharmed, 2 HP) Warp: 12 (unharmed, 1 HP) Merc 16: 11 Merc 18: 10 Merc 17: 2 Tsunami moves towards Merc 18 (SMG guy) and Power Attacks -3 atk/+3 dam and Def Atk, -2 atk/+2 def. Taking 10 she hits with her attack, DC 20 toughness save, which Merc 18 misses. Acrobatics roll for Tsunami: 21

GM Though the various mothers, infants, school children and teachers were clearly quite frightened by all the events, they only hesitated a moment before they started through the hole in space Warp had created on their way to safety. But then the evacuation became more complicated, as the door the first six gunmen had emerged from sung open once more and three more wetsuit clad gunmen emerged. The first through the door levelled his pistol at Warp before firing. Twisting as she saw the motion, the teenager heard the crack of the bullet pass disturbingly close to her ear before striking a support beam near the main tank. Another gunman moved off to one side, bringing up a sub-machinegun which he fired at Tsunami. However, the man apparently rushed his shot, as the bullets from the burst all impacted along the floor off to one side of the teen. The third gunman moved through the door, heading to the other side of the lead gunman, and also took a shot at Warp. The bullet ricocheted off the floor between the teen's feet.

Tsunami watched in shock as the man in the stylized wetsuit blew a hole in the side of the main tank that was quickly threatening to become a much more massive problem what would flood water down onto the various children and other visitors gathered below. Stepping forward, the Asian teen focused on the hole in the side of the tank which was gushing water. Bringing her hands up, she concentrated on the water just inside the tank, reaching out with her powers. The flow of water from the hole began to slow, then sputter, before it completely came to a halt. Just inside the hole, the water had taken on a solid, silvery appearance, which was spreading out in all directions. In a few moments, a section of “solid†water had completely sealed off the hole, and covered enough area that the area around the hole was no longer being weakened by the pressure from inside the tank. Glancing over at Warp, the Asian teen stated, "I am not sure how long this will hold. We need to get everyone out of here."

Round Four: Main bad guy: 26 Tsunami: 16 (unharmed, 2 HP) Warp: 12 (unharmed, 1 HP) And here is a pic for the main bad guy.

GM Warp did not have to look far before she saw who one of the gunmen had been shooting at before she and Tsunami became the focus of their fire. Over near the main entrance, there was a wounded security guard, who was currently being assisted by some of the other staff now that the gunmen had been taken care of. But no sooner had Warp taken out the last of the gunmen than a voice called down from up above. "Very nice work girls." Glancing up, Warp and Tsunami saw man standing at the edge of the third floor observation balcony for the main tank. He was similarly dressed to the other gunmen, save that his black and green wetsuit had several hard composite plastic sections, and the helmet that covered his head was designed to resemble a snake. "Let's see how well you deal with this." With that, he raised a speargun and fired it down towards the main tank. The spear struck just above the second floor, sinking into the heavy glass of the tank. Then it exploded, blasting a hole more than four feet wide in the side of the tank. Water stated pouring out of the tank and down towards the visitors gathered below, while cracks began to spiderweb out from the hole, threatening to break appear and create a larger opening. With that, the man stepped back away from the railing, disappearing from sight.

Becuse I forgot to put this up before, here is a pic of the gunmen Warp and Tsunami have been fighting.

He is knocked out. Go ahead and post IC (but we are not out of combat time yet )

"Congressman Walsh?" Velocity asked as Warp mentioned him and how that could make things hard for her. "Well, seeing as his son public displayed powers the other day, it will be interesting to see if he changes his stance any." As the teen brought up whether there would be any memorial service for the officers killed by at the Congressman’s rally, the older heroine nodded. "I am sure there will be something for them. If you like, I can talk with Captain Thunder and see if he can find out when it might be so I can let you know." The speedster replied. "If you do go, just be ready for the possibility your presence might not be appreciated. If that happens, it would probably be best to just offer your condolences to their families, and make a quick, graceful exit."

Seeing the man with the sub-machinegun engaged in melee with Warp, Tsunami focused on the gunman who had just shot at her. Turning slightly, her arms shifting in a flowing motion, she released another powerful blast of water from her hands. As with the previous two, the twisting jet of water slammed square into the gunman, knocking him off his feet and back some twenty feet until he collided with a support beam and the toppled to the ground unconscious. Turning in place slightly, the Asian teen scanned the area, looking for any other potential threats as she remained in a ready stance. Not seeing any immediate threats, she waved the various mothers, children and student groups that had been trying to make for the front exit forward, hoping they could all get clear before any more trouble arrived.

Round Three: (Giving Warp a Hero Point for having her teleport array locked up to let civilians escape for so long) Merc 5: 20 Tsunami: 16 (unharmed, 2 HP) Warp: 12 (unharmed, 2 HP) Merc 2: 4 Tsunami will continue what she has been doing in terms of def atk/power atk. Attacking the guy with the pistol, hitting after taking 10. DC 27 toughness save. Merc 2 does not even come close (he would have been out even if he wasn’t a minion).

GM The man who had called for reinforcements and previously shot at Warp lifted his pistol slightly as the teenage heroine moved into melee with his companion wielding the sub-machinegun. Glancing over at the other teenage girl that had knocked out yet another gunman, the man brought his arm over to level his pistol at her. Another gunshot rang out, but once again the man missed his target, as Tsunami weaved slightly, causing the shot to fly well wide, glancing off the thick glass of the main tank. The gunman with the sub-machinegun grunted slightly as he managed to shake off Warp's hit. "Nice try." He commented with a sneer as he swung the weapon at the teenager. But his cockiness quickly turned out to be misplaced, as Warp was easily able to duck under the clumsy attack.

Giang gave a small shrug as Elias mentioned her first trip away from campus being more interesting than his. "I suppose that depends on what one considers 'interesting.' The Lost World was certainly more dangerous than I would image most camping trips would be, though I had never been camping before, or at least as I understand the concept to be defined." When Elias indicated he was a telepath, the Asian teen nodded, not appearing bothered by the idea. "I am what I believe they refer to as a 'hydrokentic." To emphasize the point, Giang’s right hand reached out over the pool beside them, pulling up some of the water into the air until it formed a basketball sized sphere that hovered between her and Elias. "Though, I have reason to suspect that my abilities are far more than simply this."

"We had nannies as well, but my mom only used them to help her as needed, not do everything." Megan replied. When Amir mentioned that Ms. Van Cleef had requested her transfer, the blonde young woman had a slight look of surprise. "She did?" Megan replied as she thought for a moment. "I do like the economics group, but I am not going to question what you and Ms. Van Cleef feel is the best use for me. I guess the only concern I might have is whether there might be a problem with that position meeting the requirements Yale has for the credits I am getting for this internship."

Wow, he makes his toughness save with a 25!: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3942748/

Turning her head slightly towards the man who had taken a shot at her, Tsunami ran forward some, stopping a short distance from Warp. As she came to a halt, she turned back towards the man and brought her hands back up in front of her once more. Another twisting jet of water shot forth, slamming squarely into the chest of the wetsuit clad man. As with Tsunami's previous target, the man was knocked completely off his feet, flying back more than ten feet before he slammed into the side of the main water tank. Bouncing off hard, he landed on the floor unconscious.

Round Two: Merc 5: 20 Merc 3: 19 Tsunami: 16 (unharmed, 2 HP) Warp: 12 (unharmed, 1 HP) Merc 2: 4 Tsunami will continue tol use Defensive Attack for -3 Atk/+3 Def and Power Attack for -2 Atk/+2 damage. She turns her attention to Merc 3, blasting him (taking 10), requiring a DC 27 toughness save. And he does [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3942733/ ] not[/url] make it.
