Lighthouse Assault, Go!

The site of the recently restored Braddock Lighthouse. Aircraft hangars and other X-Men facilities, including a Cerebra unit and the Danger Room have been constructed around the foundations of the lighthouse.

Lighthouse Assault, Go!

Postby Kara Vanderbilt » Fri Nov 07, 2014 1:59 pm

Not one to be particularly sneaky, Kara leads the charge right up towards the Lighthouse, either to distract or to break through with sheer force.

"I heard there were some blue pansies hiding in their tower here!" she shouts.

The entire structure was shrouded in a thick wall of fog.

While Kara is being obvious, Brigid is circling around to the shore and cliffside.

About that time it started to rain on Kara's head.

"Oh no, it's raining. In England. Whatever will I do now." she says, jogging towards the entrance to the Lighthouse.

"Get pummeled by the hydrokinetic" came the voice from the fog overhead as the fog parted just enough to reveal Vivienne.

Graham had no trouble following, leading to possible speculation he might have a mountain goat form too.

Vivienne smiled as she focused on the water now within the clothing Kara was wearing and pushed, pushing Kara away with it.

Haley ran slightly behind Kara, throwing a shield over them both trying to keep the rain off and put a barrier between the water chick and them.

Kara slides backwards a couple feet until her feet find some purchase again and she pushes back against the water, leaning her upper body into it with her arms extended behind her. With the ground being slippery from the rain she's not making much progress until she suddenly extends her ribbons out and into the ground, catapulting her up and towards Vivienne, bringing her ribbons down in a wide arc.

Vivienne slammed her hands on to the soggy ground and a geyser erupted around herself, creating a wall of water in the doorway. Suddenly, twin jets of water shoot out from the main geyser towards Kara and Haley.

Haley slammed her shield downwards to block the geysers coming at her and Kara, using her hands to aim and trying not to waste too much energy.

Kara's quick to redirect her whips, yanking them back and slashing them at the jet of water to disrupt it mid-jump and safely land in a roll near Vivienne. As she comes back up from the tumble into a crouch she lashes out with one of her ribbons, trying to sweep Vivienne's legs. "Don't worry about me, Haley! Try to break through while I try to pin her here!" she thinks towards the tiny Texan.

Graham peeked over the cliff's edge to evaluate available cover.

"We should leapfrog from cover to cover. I'll go first and signal you. Okay?" he asked Brigid.

Got it! Haley ran towards the door since hopefully Vivienne was distracted. She focused a wedge of TK force in front of her to try and pierce the water blocking the door.

Vivienne may have been distracted, but Theresa was not. A howling wind came straight down the side of lighthouse, aimed at Haley. Of course, the wind disrupted the fog and revealed Theresa floating halfway up the lighthouse, her eyes nearly crackling with green energy.

"What do you think that is?" Brigid whispers to Graham, gesturing to one of the boxes that Nash had scattered about.

She tries to roll away but isn't quite fast enough, the jets knocking her over and sliding her across the wet grass.

The boxes weren't very big and some people might have a hard time telling what it does. To Graham however, it might look like a miniature trail camera.

Hayley's progress slowed to a crawl as she fought against the wind. She grit her teeth and corona of psionic energy formed over her head as she flexed her TK muscles and pushed hard against the wind, trying to funnel it away from her

The wind twisted, warping into a small tornado, but just trying to lift Haley and jostle her enough to break her concentration.

Brigid's eyes widen, and her hand shoots out to grab a decently heavy rock, swinging in an arc to smash the box.

"We have to assume they know we're here. No point in sneaking now. Go! Go! Go!"

Graham broke cover and ran for the lighthouse entrance, going Elk-Satyr for extra running speed.

Vivienne lowered her geyser and pulled the water in Kara's clothing to the ground again trapping the girl in place.

Graham Jaeger wrote:"We have to assume they know we're here. No point in sneaking now. Go! Go! Go!"

Graham broke cover and ran for the lighthouse entrance.


"Satyr?!" There was a moment of panic as she saw Graham running towards her. She regained her composure realizing his horns where antlers and gathered water spheres to throw them at him.

Graham dashed for the cover of the sign by the lighthouse, weaving to avoid getting hit before he intentionally dropped to slide behind the sign.

Man... this training suit is great for this.

Brigid meanwhile backs up a few steps before making a dash around the opposite side of the lighthouse.

"Hey Waterbender, think fast!" Kara shouts, one of her whips lashing out as Vivienne despite the fact that Kara herself seems to be nailed to the ground. The ribbon does seem a little slower than usual though.

Dstract her it did! Haley was lifted off the ground and her shield fell. She swore inaudibly against the roar of the wind and tried to yank at any lose part of Theresa's uniform she could to knock her off balance or otherwise distract her.

Kara's ribbon finally stuck and Vivienne was knocked off her feet, but as she fell she twisted and her palm hit the water an a shield wall rose to deflect any other strikes from the other girl. For now she'd lost sight of Graham.

Theresa gets yanked back by the cape and her flight destabilizes enough that she's forced to focus back on her flight and the wind drops Haley.

Kara mostly focuses on pulling herself up from the ground, fighting against the water trying to drag her down while she strikes at the water barrier over and over.
