Arcane Snowman Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 How bothersome, thought Dalkaresh as the vehicles zipped past him, next plan. judging from the distance between him and the vehicles, he couldn’t simply step through reality to get there, but he could do something better. Unraveling himself, he closed the difference between himself and the entourage, landing on top of the car.
ex3lev3n Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Narrowly avoiding the prone form of the cyclist as he slowed his vehicle and swerved around the thug, Midnight continues his pursuit of the ambulance, keeping an eye open for another attack from the cyclists, Midnight floors the pedal and turns into the reverse lane in an attempt to overcome the emergency vehicle and merge into the same lane.Drivechecks
quotemyname Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 The maneuver Succeeded! However it meant that Dalkaresh was thrown from the back of the Night Cruiser in the process. Unfortunately, the maneuver wasn't quite as successful as it could have been. The ambulance made a quick turn down a side street! The riders followed the ambulance, shooting at Angel as they rounded the corner. They hit nothing but air.
Angel Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Detimined more than ever to catch the freakin ambulance, Angel stomped on the board and swiveled it around to keep up with it on the turn. Appararently she took the turn too wide and was still behind the ambulance. Nowhere even near it.
quotemyname Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 After negotiating the turn, Angel came up just short of the motorcycle riders. She had her wor cut out for her if she was going to catch the thing. Also, she seemed to have left her back up behind. Hopefully they would be catching up rather soon.
Arcane Snowman Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 As the vehicle took a sharp turn, Dalkaresh’s balance faltered, and the fey slipped off. Phobia, his protective gauntlet unraveled and wrapped itself around him, shielding his back from the impact with the concrete. THUD, barely had he hit the ground, before he used the momentum of the fall to roll backwards over his shoulders, getting back up on his feet in but a second. Then unraveling himself through reality, he stepped onto the ambulance, mentally commanding his blade to create shards of itself, he sliced the air in front of the ambulance’s hunters, sending shards of his blade hurtling towards them, before disappearing again, only to appear in the seats below him.
quotemyname Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 The being known as Dalkaresh blinked out of existence briefly and reappeared on top of the ambulance. From that vantage point he launched a vicious attack on the cyclists below. Bands of glowing energy shot out of his weapon. The first rider was struck by one of these band, and wrapped up, and thoroughly relieved of his motorcycle which when skittering off to the side of the road without him. Seeing what happened to their friend, the other two made it their business to duck, and succeeded in getting away from the vicious assault. From there, Dalkaresh blinked out of existence once more. --- Dalkaresh blinked into existence inside the ambulance. What he saw lowered his spirits. "An' ta 'tink, we wazent gonna join ya fight. Ya' gon' an' dunit now!" The man was so big he barely fit in this ambulance. He was wearing all black sweats and a ski mask. Next to him stood a woman, dressed the same. She, however, said nothing. She simply drew a small gun that looked nothing like a pistol and fired it at him, but missed due to his shifting form. The big man drew his fist back and socked Dalkaresh right in the nose, taking advantage of his momentary disorientation. The sucker punch rocked Dalkaresh quite hard... --- A few seconds later, Angel, Midnight, and the cyclists saw Dalkaresh burst out of the side of the ambulance and go skittering off to the side of the road! Apparently there was something in the ambulance that had wanted him out!
ex3lev3n Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 The hell was that? Midnight saw the nightmarish form explode from the side of the ambulance. Muscling past the motorcyclists, the Night Cruiser switched lanes, coming up on the ambulance. When the vehicles are adjacent to one another, Midnight scanned the ambulance.
quotemyname Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 The female in the dark clothes and ski mask leans out of the hole in the side of the ambulance as it careens down the street. She puts her arm out through the hole and aims a small gun at Angel. An energy blast discharges and connects with Angel's board!
Angel Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 The energy blast hit Angel's Aeroboard, but it seemingly was sucked into the magical flying apparatus! After such an affront, Angel tried to catch up but the energy must have slowed her down. That didn't stop her from trying to blast the woman who tried to blast her!
quotemyname Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 A lot of things happened all at once. The ambulance continued to speed on, and Angel could not keep up. As she faded away from the Ambulance, she blasted the woman who had stuck her head out. She couldn't pull back into the ambulance in time, and the shot grazed her against her arm. That's when the cyclists dropped back to get even with Midnight's car. They proceeded to batter the windshield, hood, and roof of the car with their assortment of bat, crowbar, and chain. Three direct hits clunked soundly off of the car. Dalkaresh continued to reel from being hit by the big man. Though he looked like he was coming out of his stupor, he still couldn't get to his feet, and the impromptu street race sped on away from him.
ex3lev3n Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 The sleek, black automobile took the assault like it was nothing. The motorcyclists had him pinned in, but Midnight was testing them, trying to jockey for an opening. The sooner he caught up with the ambulance, the sooner this mystery would be solved.
quotemyname Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 The assembled heroes continued to chase the fleeing ambush. Although Dalkaresh was out of the running, now, he had given them vital information. They now knew that this Ambulance was not on the level. The female in the ski mask leaned out through the gap and fired a laser blast at the grill of Midnight's car. Two of the Cyclists kept pace with him and hammered at his wheel wells. Angel's board was slowing down, and her ability to tail the Ambulance was diminished. However the third cyclist was easily able to keep pace with her. He attempted to attack her with a baseball bat, but she dodged the attack easily.
Angel Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Stupid board. Stupid laws of physics, Angel thought rashly with a growl, I need something faster. She could barely keep up with the ambulance now. To make it worse one of the bikers was swinging something at her! She decided to take her frustration out on his skull from above with a magically charged kick! Floating a little bit above the biker, she did a handstand on the board. She grasped on to the side of it to hold on. With a mighty swing from above, the board flipped over with her hanging from it! Carrying though she aimed for the biker's head with both feet, intending to knock him off his bike. With fluid motion she and the board return to the upright position with her still in a handstand. Carttwheeling, she returned to her feet.
ex3lev3n Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Revving the engine, Midnight made to break away from the motorcyclist's and come up across the side of the ambulance. Although the attacks did no real damage to the Night Cruiser, they were enough to keep it from gaining any ground on the ambulance. Looks like we'll have to do this the hard way, then.
quotemyname Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 Angel and Midnight had been pursuing this ambulance through the fens for nearly a good 30 seconds of pedal-to-the-metal action. They were quite surprised when the ambulance suddenly swerved off the street into a parking lot. It swerved into position near the building at the end of the shallow lot. The lot itself was only went about 50 feet off of the road where it met a low building that looked like a warehouse. It was against the delivery doors for this warehouse that the Ambulance now sat. While the ambulance swerved off the road, the cyclists kept going. They sped off down the road, and would soon be out of sight. Pulling into the lot, Both Midnight and Angel could see people getting out of the Ambulance. There were four figures there. All were wearing black with ski-masks. Two of the figures had gotten out of the driver and passenger-side doors. The other two figures had lept out of the hole in the back of the ambulance. There were two men and two women. One of the men that had jumped out of the back was enormous and stood well over six feet in height. The other man was of more average height. The two women stood by the ambulance and seemed to be waiting for something. "Oi!" The average height man yelled, pulling his mask off. He was blond and clean-shaven. "You lot're a big thorn in my side! Hammerhead, Blondie, take care of 'em. Ghost, get the door!" "Yes sir!" The other three called out in unison. The one girl that had gotten out of the passenger's seat suddenly turned into a translucent for and floated up off the ground. The big man at the back of the ambulance took a few steps forward and slammed his hands together. The girl at the back of the ambulance also peeled off her mask, but simply stood where she was and let her flowing golden hair wave about while she brandished her laser pistol.
Angel Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 When the truck swerved into the parking lot, Angel went invisible to sight and sound. She had her prey cornered. It was time to deal some invisible ass kicking of justice! As she waited to acertain what Midnight was going to do, she floated toward the blonde chick with the gun. Unless she was a powered individual herself, there was no way she could sense Angel from ten feet away. She kept her attention between Midnight and the blonde girl as she started her ginga. Gracefully moving backward and forth, her acrobatics mixed in with the dance...
ex3lev3n Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Cutting the lights as soon as he realized what was happening, Midnight made a sharp turn onto the road that led to the warehouse. Slamming on the breaks when he saw the ambulance, he drew his gas gun and let a cloud of smoke fill the Night Cruiser before he opened the door and stepped out. He could see through the thick black mist, and the four that disembarked the ambulance could not. "It's getting dark", he spoke through the Midnight Mist.
quotemyname Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 "Ain't no matter ta me!" Hammerhead yelled. "I ain't afraid'a the dark! Haaaaa!!!" Hammerhead called out as he moved his massive from across the parking lot at an alarming rate. The man was extremely fast for someone his size! Hammerhead charged straight into the cloud created by Midnight. He knew what side of the car that midnight had gotten out of the car at, but there was no way he was going to be able to see much else. Hammerhead simply waited, chomping at the bit to hit something. "Come out, come out, whereva y'are!" "Oh, he'll come out. Won't you, big boy?" Blondie called out in her sing-song voice. She strutted towards the midnight cruiser and bent forward to blow a kiss towards the cloud of mist. When she straightened up again she winked towards where she thought Midnight might be standing. "No rush, I can wait...but not for long!"
Angel Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Angel moved with grace and speed. Perhaps a little too graceful and speedy. Trying to trip the blonde girl upshe totally missed her. With a cartwheel and a backflip she moved ten feet infront of the blonde girl again, waiting for her to move again. This tim she wouldn't miss.
quotemyname Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 The extreme attraction that Midnight was feeling towards Blondie was aided by her stunning good looks. Looks that were so good in fact that they caused Midnight to hang on Blondie's every word. He found he could do nothing but stand and stare at her for the time being. Meanwhile, back near the ambulance, the one called Ghost zipped off towards the shutter door of the warehouse saying, "I'm off to get the door, sir!" and with that she passed right through the shutter door. A few seconds later, it started to open, and Ghost's translucent form could be seen behind the door at the control box. "Great job, Ghost!" Shouted the leader as he took off towards the entrance of the warehouse. He stopped directly before it, ...and started transforming? It was true. It was like something out of Transformers: The Movie! The guy got down on his hands and knees, started growing in size, and before long was the size of a large delivery truck! The truck was black with blue stripes and grey trim. The doors to the back of the truck opened up a metallic voice started echoing over the parking lot. "Load up the cargo, Ghost!"
quotemyname Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 "So, ja get'em, Blondie?" Hammerhead asked from the center of the smoke cloud that was starting to dissipate. "I did at that, Hammerhead." She responded. "Damn! I wanned ta smash'em to! Ah well. Guess I'll settle fer tha otha one." Hammerhead cracked his knuckles, but otherwise remained within the cloud. "Now why don't'cha come here so I can get a better look at you?" Blondie used her most compelling tone of voice to get Midnight to do her bidding. "And take off that ugly mask while you're at it!" She pouted, "I want to see that beautiful face!"
Angel Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Angel wasn't waiting this time. Shsprung forward to grabthe woman. It would have worked too...
quotemyname Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 ... had Blondie not been waiting for a surprise attack! The crooks had noticed two heroes during the chase. And heroes weren't ones to quit. They knew that she would still be around somewhere. When Blondie was suddenly attacked, she reacted quickly, firing a shot from her laster blaster right into Angel's stomach. The blast was enough to send her reeling, and unfortunately for Angel, that gave Hammerhead the opening he needed to rush in and deliver a punch of his own! Things went from bad to worse for Angel as she got knocked off her board after taking the punishment.
