Gaea Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 Kachrboom The punch lands with some force. A leg is ripped off the Metallic spider. It splatters and pools on the ground. The spider doesn't make any movement what so ever, but the hairs on the back of your neck inform you that you are now the center of it's attention. Nanowire interrupted his thoughts to find a new location, zooming up and over the rooftops, he found himself a new location. He watched with fascination as one of the spider's took notice of him. It scurried and scattered across the ground, and then began to scurry and scatter across the air, as if there were ground there too. What other strange abilities do these things have? Mr. Fix-It receives his answer almost quicker than immediately. "We did not choose his planet. We arrived here by a freak statistical improbability. It has no weaknesses. Attrition is the only weapon we have against it. You must destroy it millimeter by millimeter. It adapts quickly. Attacks rarely work more than once. It does however have a finite amount of immunities that it can maintain. A rotating cycle of attacks will eventually destroy it. Range must be maintained. Do not let it infiltrate your systems. It will adapt you to service it's needs. Please, time is off the essence. If you can, assist this one in it's destruction.
Cyrith Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 The pain had subsided somewhat. Whoever the guy was who had been helping Gordy with crowd control seems to have been more then he first appeared. Of course, so is Gordy. Even with his rib now healed, the bruising in the area still limits what High Note can do. Still, it wasn't as though he couldn't still get a note off. Ignoring the pain, High Note sends a blast of high pitched sound at the nearest of the spiders.

Gaea Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 The metal of the spider vibrates and warps under the pressure of the sound, eventually liquefying in to a puddle of inanimate matter. No, wait. It's trying to reform, but it's struggling. It's almost pitiful. A quivering pile of metal-water. Hub's power almost doesn't go off. It seems to oscillate, almost as if it's having trouble locking down on a target. It's raises the hair on the back of his neck. Finally, it makes a decision. Valkyrie swells, becoming a better, more perfect reflection of itself. Smarter, Faster, Stronger. She starts to glow, not in any actual terms, but just in the simple fact of newfound radiant beauty and confidence. She may be momentarily restrained. But everything now cries "Not for long"

Veiled Malice Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Nanowire was almost tempted to stop and watch the metallic spider as it skittered around the air as easily as it might any solid surface. But he needed his cure, and there would be plenty of time to figure out what these things could do as he took them apart with his fists. His course chosen, Nanowire surged towards the spider and swung away, his fist powered by enough force to grind steel to splinters.

cosmicarus Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Valkyrie did not like being held against her will - she thought about her sisters, about the people around her, about the things she had yet to do. Yes, she felt stronger than before - stronger than she ever had in fact. She could do this! She strains against the spider, releasing a cry as she does so. She finds the metal of it's form bend against her will; for that moment, she was the thing's master. She turned the grapple back on the creature, using it's own tail in an attempt to secure it's body - then she squeezed. She squeezed with everything she had. Now that she had the thing and couldn't miss with a punch, she was going to do whatever she could to make sure the thing wasn't going to get away from her.

Companyman Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Mr. Fix-it tried to assimilate all of the information from the stranger but the main point stuck out, “Destroy the spiders by any means possible.†Without further delay, the cyborg located the closes ‘spider’ and launched a burst of concentrated magnetic energy. The Blast of energy ripped into the metallic beast. [i assume that hit. If so it should be a DC27 save]

Heridfel Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Kevin turns back as he hears a screech echo behind him. Gordy had figured out that Kevin was more than he seemed, and now Kevin has done the same. Granted, it's much easier for Kevin than it was for Gordy. Since the flying woman seems to be doing better now, he turns his attentions to Gordy. The ones who don't attack with fists are usually better off when healed than when made stronger. With a glance, Kevin smooths away the jagged edges of Gordy's injuries.

Cyrith Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Gordy feels as energy flow to his chest, working at the bruises still left from his fall and broken rib. Though it can't be seen through his shirt, the bruising fades and the pain goes away. Gordy readjusts his scarf, around the nose, leaving the eyes and mouth visible. "Thanks. I needed that."

Thevshi Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Velocity dodge the attack of the spider robot as the baby continued to cry. The teen heroine aimed another superspeed punch at the thing, as she kept herself between it and the infant.
