ic Emerald Consequences

[angrydurf]

Kanunu managed to regain his breath taking stock of his less than enviable position in the crushing embrace of the poster child for skipping leg day.  Emerald spiders 'web' seemed to slow him only momentarily and his grip never slacked even as he ripped free.  

 

"Sucker punching moke."  he grumbled as he flexed against the big mans grip and with a final strain broke the hold dropping back for only a moment before launching an attack of his own.  Bringing his foot up Kanunu made a wild kick stomping down toward the villain that had grabbed him.  His foe swung back out of range of the blow and Kanunu's foot hit the concrete spidering the surface with cracks form the impact but at least it bought him some space and he wasn't going to be caught by surprise this time.

 

"Watch where're you shooting!"  he bellowed as the laser scorched the limited restraints remaining on the muscled hulk.  "Don't matter how fancy a car your daddy buy ya if you can't drive it."

Ah, great. Ultio Suits. Robin found herself glaring at them behind her mask. Seriously, those guys had to show up now? She'd tried wearing one of those suits, they were high tech. And they were, at least partially, based on her own suits. She was about to yell something, but she really didn't have the time, did she?

 

"Back off before he catch you!" The people in the suits might mean well, or they might not. She still had to try to warn them, the guy was big and dangerous, they hadn't even hurt him.

 

Full power to engines, then. Swinging her leg up in a sweeping motion, she aimed straight for the back of the guy's head... and it actually did something beyond annoy him. "Ah, crap." Powering on her jet boots, she quickly jumped back, putting some distance between them.

Emerald Spider

“I’m sorry I think I missed the whole superhero school period, though that should really be a thing...”

 

As she spoke Emerald Spider somersaulting through the air keeping moving as she fired a series of quantum bolts towards the big.

 

“But if you want to see if you’re ready to play with the big boys and girls feel free to step out of the armor and we’ll see who is the amateur.”

 

It was true that she had some abilities out of the Spdr Rig, but she wasn’t exactly fighting at the big hero level.

The villain swings his arms wildly, trying to swat away the stings from Emerald Spider's Spdr bolts. They didn't do much more than annoy him, before he turned to face Justice, murder in his eyes.

 

"You hurt me!" 

 

His voice was like gravel, but he seemed more focused now. Like the blow that shook him had knocked some sense into the man. 

 

"Crush you!"

 

With surprising speed, he moved forward, wrapping his arms around Justice, lifting her off the ground and starting to squeeze. 

[angrydurf]

Kanunu had just managed to free himself from the grasp of the brutish fiend when it plucked Justice up and began to squeeze.  Leaping into action he launched himself at the enormous powerhouse.  He came in close and reached out to grasp at the foes arms and try to pry Justice loose before the plates of her suit gave way,  "You let her go you punk."  he growled as he strained for purchase or advantage.

[RocketLord]

Justice

 

Robin wasn't sure if she had ever fought anyone this strong before. At least she hadn't ever been grabbed by someone this strong before. Her armor was holding, but only just barely. Even with the extra armor plating, she wasn't sure that it wouldn't give. Just who the hell was this guy? 

 

She felt the pressure increasing, she could smell the creep's hot, acidic breath even through her mask... and then his grip loosened and she heard Kanunu speak up. With the villain's arms pulled back, Robin dropped to the ground, crouching and looking up at Kanunu holding back the villain.

 

"Thanks, let me repay the favor!" She sounded far more chipper than she felt right now, but she really didn't have time to waste feeling the pain right now.

 

Justice rose, rising into an uppercut aimed square at the bad guy's jaw. Full power to the engines, don't care about precise strikes, just hit him!

Emerald Spider

Keeping an eye on those Mars newcomers, more likely to hurt themselves than catch the baddie, Emerald Spider spun back around to get into a good positions.

 

“Kids leave this kind of stuff to the professionals.”

 

Feeling that, hopefully, this battle was near its end she fired off another round of Spdr Blasts from her suit. Not the best of shots, maybe not the best time to boast about your abilities it was true, but hopefully they’d be good enough to finish the job.

 

“Shows over, you can all go home now!”

[RocketLord]

GM

 

Not the best shots, but good enough. With Justice's hit followed by Emerald Spider's, while Kanunu held on to the man in the cape, it was just too much and he slumped over, held almost lifeless in Kanunu's arms. The froth on his mouth mixed with spit that dripped to the ground at his feet.

 

The prison transports stood still, the three Ultio Suit Users standing a bit awkwardly nearby before one of them finally decided to speak up. "I... I'll need you to hand him over. We need to deliver him to the proper authorities." He paused, like he wasn't sure exactly what else to say. "We need it to get points, y'know."

[angrydurf]

Kanunu pushed the unconscious form to the ground, turning it;s head like he would a drunk friend that passed out and offering a vague shrug to his fellow heroes.  He looked around at the transports, which all looked to be intact and breathed a sigh of relief.  "Look like that's settled then."  he rumbled wearily.  

 

The request from the Ultio Suits had him scratching his head and looking at the heavy prisoner transports the remained in the midst of, "Uh authorities be here brah."  he pointed out with a shake of his head and paused turning back to look at the one who spoke, "Wait now, Points?  Like for you dollar club card or something?"  he scoffed and shook his head, "This all handled you run home for you scratch the paint on your pretty outfit."

[RocketLord]

Justice

 

"They're Ultio Suit Users." Justice's tone was colder than it had been before. She was grasping her right arm with her land hand. There was a bruise under the armor that was starting to become sore. Still, she stood up straight. "MarsTech gives them points for doing hero work, they use it for better suits, better powers."

 

And they had stolen Justice's tech to make those suits. She didn't like that part at all, but this wasn't the time or place. Maybe later. 

 

"You guys didn't really help, so how about backing down? I'm sure the cops can handle it from here, yeah?" She should probably get out of there soon, right?

[RocketLord]

GM

 

"Damn right, we're Ultio Suit Users!" one of the armored men said, beating a fist at his chest. "We're the real heroes this city needs! Just look at this, you guys were struggling until we showed up!"

 

"Yeah!" the other one agreed. "You guys were getting beat before we came in and saved the day. So how about you just hand over the big guy, we'll hand him over to the cops over there and we'll say you're even for us saving you?"

 

The cops were starting to gather their wits. The Mafiya members had fled or been carried away in the confusion, leaving just the big guy, and the three prison transports.

Emerald Spider

Emerald Spider came to rest on a near by flag pool, maybe deliberately placing herself above the Ultio Suits.

 

“Maybe we can share the point with you, I’ve always want a MARS Beanie cap. Do you have a catalogue… you do don’t you?”

 

She paused not quite laughing but feeling a little smug, she didn’t bemoan them trying to help but this time they were more a hindrance than a help. And she had to admit she had a complicated relationship with MARS Corp

 

“Let’s help the cops get everyone back to where they need to be, then you can look at the footage and determine who gets the win.”

[angrydurf]

Kananu stared at the response from the Utilio suits and others explaining the gimmick behind MARS techs scheme and shook his head in disgust.  "Nah I think it better we wait on the actual cops to hand off."  he rolled his eyes, "This ain't some game ya know."  he scolded lightly more than a little disgusted by the conceit.   "People can get hurt you don't take this stuff seriously."

 

He glanced to Justice, "This Mars guy really givin out points?  That's crazy."  he rumbled in disbelief.  

[RocketLord]

Justice

 

Robin was more than happy that her mask hid her face when Emerald Spider joked at the Ultio Suits. They were still new, not everyone had caught all the news yet, right? She was there at the annoucement... and they had used her tech. And she couldn't do anything about it, could she? 

 

"Its a game to them," she continued, crossing her arms while she talked. "Just a game, do heroic stuff, earn points, get bigger and better powers. All part of the game. Doesn't matter who get hurt and who doesn't."

 

She looked at Kanunu and the Emerald Spider. Maybe she could do something about it after all... couldn't she?

[RocketLord]

GM

 

It didn't take long for the police to arrive. With Kanunu, Emerald Spider and Justice holding on to the bad guy, he had seemed to shrink. He was completely out of it, his body trembling evey now and again, but otherwise still, like the blows alone had not been the only thing to take him down.

 

The Ultio Suit Users tried to get to the bad guy a few more times, before backing down and being all smiles when the police arrived. They insisted on going on escorting the caravan with the villains once they left, mentioning something about a new mission.

 

The members of the Mafiya that had participated in the attack were all gone in the confusion. In a secret location somewhere in Emerald City, Koschei the Deathless swore bloody revenge on all involved.

 

And for Justice, the start of an idea had formed.
