Slipstream

 

Somehow Stormchild seemed to fly high up into the sky of the holographic city, far above the ceiling of the Doom Room. But if she expected to be isolated from any of the enemy, that quickly changed, as two advanced spacecraft dropped down out of the clouds and veered in her direction.

Down on the street level, another six of the large red reptilian aliens appeared, again scattered about the intersection.

 

Turning towards one of those new opponents, Slipstream seemed to become slightly less blurred as she quickly closed the distance to deliver another punch.

*CRACK*

 

The attack struck the large alien. However, this time, it seemed unfazed by the attack, remaining unmoved as the teenage speedster sped past.

 

Taking a sharp turn, Slipstream ran up the side of another building and again skidding to a halt on the rooftop to try to give herself a bit of cover once more.

Gookgak

 

Monsters are shooting at Gookgak over and over now! The little gobbelyn recoils in terror as space gun blasts impact way too close for comfort. Me knew me shouldn't have come out from under the car!

 

But, if monsters can't see Gookgak, then monsters can't shoot Gookgak!

 

The diminutive student bolts from his cover, straight towards his attackers, the chant of a gobbelyn trick on his lips: "Murkem, lurkem, gloomaree!"

 

Shadows deepen and spread from the little gobbelyn, making an impenetrable sphere of darkness. But it is not only a darkness for the eye, but also for the mind, as the gobbelyn's curse incites creeping despair in the simulated minds of the simulated aliens.

Owen grunted in concentration as the weapons fire sprayed across his force field. Guess that's been holdin' out okay. That's good. Let's see if we can get some quick tactics in with Stormchild...

 

There wasn't much time before the troops figured out a way to get around his force field, so he streaked up and looped around again, flying as close to the center of the group as he could. His heart leapt as he careened towards the ground, but Owen kept his breathing steady as he focused his power towards keeping his force field intact. At the last moment, he adjusted his course and flew a few feet above the clustered groups of alien soldiers, rocketing just overhead. "You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!" he said tauntingly as he approached the center, hoping to draw their attention towards him. 

 

He paused for a moment, letting them train their weapons on him, then splayed his fingers out in front of him. There was a sort of vortex that formed in a circle around him, a swirling tornado of blurry energy that moved outwards from Owen's body in a showy display of power, force, and noise!

Up in the sky, the two space fighters veered towards Stormchild, streaking towards her as the energy weapons built into the hull of each fighter opened fire. Powerful blasts of energy struck Stormchild as the two fighters sped past her and several blocks further along the skyline.

 

Down on the street, Owen unleased a massive burst of energy among several of the holographic opponents. Six of the troopers and one of the larger aliens were all blown off their feet and sent flying, disappearing as the struck the ground defeated. However, one of the large aliens seemed unfazed by the blast and aimed a large two-handed energy weapon as the teen and fired. The blast of energy struck Owen’s forcefield squarely.

 

Another of the large aliens had been caught in Gookgak’s magical spell, making it seem a bit hesitant and uncertain. But it turned its focus toward Serendipity and rushed towards him, swinging a large battle axe at the teen. However, the agile Reil was able to dodge the attack with seeming relative ease.

Serendipity

 

Things were getting more interesting. Riel was beginning to think that an unlimited number of foes could be spawned in this room. It wasn't quite time to change tactics, but it was getting close. Especially as Kadene had been injured, if minorly. He'd know that cry of pain and irritation anywhere. His feint against the big fella who'd tried to chop him in two worked to perfection. His own follow up cut, not so much. Not nearly enough penetration. All right, then. "Kadene! On me!" Satisfied that the order was given and she'd seen where he was, once again suddenly he simply wasn't where anyone happened to be looking for him.

"I really hope it's not one of those can't win kind of things, or we might be fighting a Kaiju by the end of all this! Then against that's not a terrible way to spend a morning..." her mom now and again talked about some movie with a no-win thing, but she'd generally not been paying attention at the time.

 

Talking of, she'd made a solid leap towards one of the aliens and managed to land a solid punch, but the thing seemed to shake it off far too easily.

 

"Hmmm, maybe a full Kaiju would be a little too optimistic!"

[EternalPhoenix]

Stormchild

 

That hurt. Kadene was irritated. Those flying...things were way stronger than anything in Aquivan that could also fly. That was just cheating. Still, she heard Riel call. With another twitch of her crackling fingers, a massive fog bank (covering the entire area) rolled in out of absolutely nowhere. A real pea souper. Nobody could see beyond their nose. If they had a nose. Nobody, that is, except for the young heroes involved in this session. They would only notice a mild haze, visually speaking. She dropped out of the sky, hovering only perhaps a dozen feet above ground as opposed to the hundreds before, and drew her sword. To her regret, maintaining the fog meant she couldn't do anything else with her powers. Hence the sword.

As Kadene's fog rolled over the simulated city blocks, the various enemies were plunged into a confusion, completely unable to see beyond a few inches with any accuracy. But even as the holographic foes stumbled about in confusion, the gathered Claremont teens were generally unaffected by the fog. Although they noted it was there, it did not truly obstruct their vision at all.

 

Up on a rooftop, Lynn started off again, running down the side of the building in the blink of an eye and closing with one of the large aliens just as quickly.

 

*CRACK*

 

She delivered another supersonic punch to the holographic opponent, this time landing a solid hit that resulted in a loud *WHAM* with a physical impact that could be felt a short distance away. But the speedster was already past her target before the sound of the impact even resonated out, skidding to a halt a hundred feet down the street.

 

The powerful punch certainly seemed to have an effect on the large alien, which took a couple steps backward from the impact, but otherwise remained on his feet. It roared in anger, clearly having felt the hit, but could not see the speedster through the thick fog.

"This ain't the Kobayashi-Maru, keep fighting Centuria!" he said as one of the aliens shot him in the shoulder. His force field took most of the impact, and Owen grit his teeth and crossed his arms as he tried to maintain his footing, but it was no use. He flipped over and flew a short distance, his force field scraping a line in the pavement as he landed hard on the ground. Although he was dazed, and he would definitely feel that tomorrow, Owen wasn't out of the fight yet. Gotta take that big guy out...

 

He rose into the air, holding his arms out as he gathered power. Owen closed his eyes and focused hard, putting all other distractions out of his mind. His body seemed to blur, shimmering with kinetic energy, and suddenly, he was off. He rocketed towards the large alien, drawing his fist back as he prepared to collide at full force. Let's hope they're watching... he thought in the few moments before impact.

*WHAM*

 

Owen’s kinetic punch connected directly with the chest of the large alien Lynn had just hit, as it had turned blindly in the fog. The shockwave from the hit shook windows on nearby cars and buildings. The impact knocked the hulking figure off its feet, sending it flying backward more than ten yards where it slammed into the side of the building with another loud impact. The wall held, although showed signs of damage as the large alien fell to the sidewalk in a heap. It was still conscious but seemed momentarily dazed.

 

But then it shook its head, regaining its senses as it started to slowly get back to its feet.

 

Further down the street, the other large alien turned around in the fog, confused having first seen Reil just disappear in front of him and now not being able to see anything at all. It turned its head in the direction of the impact of first Lynn and then Owen’s attack on its brethren, but was unable to judge where exactly that was in the heavy fog…
