Supercape Posted April 9, 2019 Author Posted April 9, 2019 GM The Hornet gave Tsunami a glittering glare that was amused and wicked. "I have neglected you too long. Those fools in Freedom City turned coat, and the Tong failed me. I should really have redoubled my efforts. Although I had other noodles to boil then. But not now!" he grinned. He was fast, no doubt. And agile. And he moved across the ceiling like a dancer. Or Kung Fu Master. He may well have been both, and in a suit of powered crystal armour. A formidable enemy. In a flash he had smashed through the skylight and was out on the roof...
Tiffany Korta Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 The Scarab III When the Hornet began to leave Scarab was more or less ready for him, her field generator going to maximum as it began to project her through the air. Her gravitic driving her through the air and out of the warehouse, she’d wish she’d had time to gather the others but that might have given him an opportunity to get away. Clearing the building she scanned the area her eye, enhanced by the googles systems, looking for the fleeing Hornet to be able to try and grab him out of the air. After that she’d worry about how to properly subdue him.
Supercape Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 GM There was a coolness now, and the light was dim. Outside, Hong Kong painted a glorious backdrop. The smell of salt from the sea was in the air. There was a freedom and space now that the Scarab and the Hornet, the insect gladiators, were out of the warehouse. And despite the power of the Scarab, the Hornet was fast. He flipped and flopped, twirled and rolled. His speed and strength were inhuman, and he had the movement of a Wushu artist. Now that the blood was out in the open, now that the facade of the game with Go had gone, his explosion of fury was subsiding, and that cold, calm, contemptuous intelligence was resurfing. He was not afraid, or if he was, one could not detect it. Instead, he was focussed and clear.
Avenger Assembled Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 For his part, Frost was a little depressed. He walked over to the would-be kingpin's loot, pressing his hands against the boxes, and began freezing them. Oh, he could have described it in some other way, he supposed - summoning the terrible cold of Nifelheim, bringing the icy chill of death to this place of living men - but somehow it all felt so petty. All these years of unlife, and here he was fighting some petty gangster-kingpin who Sin would one day skin and use as a rug. He looked up as the Hornet made his move, all fire and speed even as the world around Frost dropped to a terrible, inhuman cold. He looked at the Hornet and risked, "Oh come now, fellow, look what you have gained. What is profit in this? Come down and let us talk like men." Where the Hel did I put my _shirt_? he thought, annoyed, realizing that several of the fallen thugs had collapsed on it from the effects of their employer's gas.
Thevshi Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 Tsunami Hornet's revelation that he had been behind the Tong attack on Tsunami and her fellow Claremont student in Freedom City shortly after she had first started at Claremont did not cause any reaction from the young Asian woman. Even if what he was saying were true, the young woman was well past the point of feeling she was living her life on the run. As the armored criminal began to run, a water spout arched up into the warehouse through the smashed skylight from the nearby bay. Tsunami gracefully leapt onto the spout as it twisted back upward, quickly carrying her out into the cool night air. As she flew after the retreating Hornet, she once again sent a blast of twisting water streaking through the air after him. Once again the armored foe dodged the attack with skilled easy. However, even as he dodge the new attack, the twisting coils of water from her earlier attack came arching up into the night sky to streak over towards the villain. Focused on dodging the first attack, he was not prepared for the sudden appearance of another jet of water, which slammed into him from one side…
Supercape Posted May 12, 2019 Author Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) GM The Hornet spun in the water, a dizzying feat of unintended acrobatics. He landed elegantly, the water dripping from his emerald armour. And he looked up.... WIth the flick of his wrist, a little puff of gas, and a buzzing dart skimmed through the air towards Tsunami... "Now you will feel the sting of the Hornet!" he said, soft but firm. And then, he backflipped four dozen yards behind another warehouse, his emerald form glinting under the starlight until he dissapeared from view... Edited May 30, 2019 by Supercape
Tiffany Korta Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 The Scarab III Scarab stopped in the air and got her bearings, target data and Intel flowing across her display. It took her a few moments to re-orientate herself to the location of the Hornet, still she was getting good at this and she quickly found the target. Finding her target she pushed herself forward with the energies generated by her anti-grav backpack, aiming up her Scarab’s sting for a blast towards the Hornet. She wasn’t one for witty quips more grim determination for success.
Supercape Posted June 16, 2019 Author Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) GM The Energy Blast glinted over the Hornets Green Armour, glistening for a fraction of a section, the light refracting into a wonderful Kalidescope. But it was too much! There was a cracking, splintering sound as his armour failed, and then, in a remarkable display of force and power, he was flung across the docks of Hong Kong in a most peculiar and unpredictable direction. Surely that was due to metaparabolic energy hyperdispersion! (one would think, if one was an expert in crystaline energy / force quantum mechanics!) SPLASH! It was hard to tell if the Hornet was conscious or unconsious when he hit the water, but he was certainly sinking fast... Edited June 16, 2019 by Supercape
