Renko's hand wouldn't do much, but with the massive momentum from being sped up Faultline's jaw explodes into stone shards, though what the impact does to Renko's squishy hand is another question.

Faultline stumbles back and while the missing piece of her face is slowly filling in with stone again she looks surprised and furious at the fact that someone actually hurt her. "Enough of this!" she yells and slowly but surely the entire room begins to quake and crumble, walls and ceiling ripping apart as she grows. But maybe worse, as the building upstairs opens up things start raining down from above. Furniture, paintings, a bathtub, tables, segments of wallpaper, rugs... And all of them begin to twist and turn as they're shaken from their situation for the first time in years.

Renko cradled his quite broken hand. He was fortunate the gauntlet had protected it as much as it had though it had been broken in the process.

"Shit," Renko said watching Faultine and the other enemy forces grown.

He didn't move much his powers shielding him from falling debris bits of falling masonry turning into a rain of dust. His hand slowly began putting itself back together inside of the broken gauntlet which was making him a bit woozy or was that simply shattering his hand? Probably both.

Paladin made quite an entrance when a series of sonic 'grenades' rained down from the sky into the ranks of Legionnaires which coincided nicely with Paladin opening fire at Faultline with an anti-material rifle.

"Move in and extract your teammates, try not to get surrounded," Paladin said.

Daniel threw in the other direction from Nick, but seemed more intent on more selectively sending hotknives at the various bad guys, figuring 'bad guys' to be people that weren't the teammates he came in with. Or Paladin. For now.

The Legions seemed to be much weaker than the Will of their universe---one even exploded in a shower of goo as Daniel's hotknives pierced it's chest.

What they lacked in strength, however, they made up for in numbers, as a flock of the took to the air to greet the incoming reinforcements.

The quarter that had broken away began...diving into the three seperated Legion-blobs.....which began growing...and growing...and growing.

For the ride upon Amazon, Ronnie had diminished herself to a tiny size, making herself lighter and easier to carry as well as helping with the gifted woman's aerodynamics. It wasn't long before the team's communicators began crackling with the chatter of their allies fighting in the laboratory deep below ground.

"There's too much noise." She said, holding her hand over the earpiece. "They're talking over each other and it sounds like a damn zoo down there. We gotta get them out of there. I'll see if I can help get us in."

After checking with Rob that his calculations were indeed correct and they were over where they needed to be Ronnie let herself fall from Amazon's form and plummeted toward the earth. At first the tiny sprite could have easily been blown off course by the wind. That is until her body gained mass and size so radically and to such a scale that the air cracked with thunder. At her full height the impact was more like jumping out of a tree than falling from a hundred feet; no concrete, wood or stone could stand up to so much weight traveling at such a speed.

Above all the screaming, explosions and bedlam deep within the laboratory the sound of her impact muffled them all even through the thick layers of soil and concrete, causing the already shaking room to lurch violently.

The shot takes a sizable chunk out of Faultline's shoulder, drawing a scream of pain and rage from her as she pulls more and more stone into herself until her upper body is sticking out of a small mountain. Raising her arm at Paladin she fires a volley of razor sharp obsidian fragments at him. "You'll regret your interfering, Paladin!" she screams.

The largest blob of Legion--the one the Captain had apparently bounced off of (?) and still had Bear inside, grew larger and larger as more Legions impacted it, rising to challenge Alice.

Nick sent a powerful, rumbling telekinetic blast at the flying Legions headed towards him. Unlike Croyden, the vibration aspect of Nick's powers might have a weak sonic effect. At least, he hoped so.

Postby Melody Martens » Sat Oct 22, 2011 3:32 pm

Melody grit her teeth and pushed herself up off of the floor, counting her blessings that she hadnt gone through the wall like John--she'd probably be dead if she had. Seeing that Isabel smothered the flames and was healing his wounds, she focused on keeping things away from them, constantly chucking bombs at the newly sprouting Legions and whenever she could, at faultline.

Postby Stephanie Kaltiera » Sat Oct 22, 2011 3:42 pm

Stephanie let out a howl as she charged into the fray, shredding and tearing at as many Legions as she could get her claws on. She had a few of the sonic grenades strapped to her belt, and once she was able to land an impressive enough hit on one of the things that nearly shredded it in two, she ripped out the pin with her teeth and buried the device in the rapidly-reforming flesh before diving over a table and trying to repeat the process.

Nick
Nick's powers did not have a sonic effect--but the telekenesis ITSELF seemed to be enough to disperse some of the Legions, out in combat mode for the first time in years.

Melody
Her bombs being thrown at Faultline kept getting interecepted by kamikaze Legions, who exploded in showers of grey goo as they were blown into smithereens.

Stephanie
Some of the Legions didn't even require the grenade--just ripping them in two seemed to do quite well...though, if she paid close attention, they were VERY SLOWLY trying to draw themseles back together...

Ronnie stood up, towering at her full height with bits of concrete and debris tumbling off of her patriotically-coloured suit.

"Oh no you don't, that's my schtick!" She called out, her massive voice booming above the others. She stepped over several of her teammates, her footfall shaking the floor as she drew her hand back and threw a hard right punch at the growing goo pile. She was going to try and pummel it before it had a chance to become an even bigger threat, literally.

Nick

Nick's powers continued to be rather effective, as he buzzsawed through a number of flying Legions.

He could get a fairly clear aerial picture of the battle, now, and see Faultline defending herself on her plinth, various hand-to-hand combats appearing on the floor, the giant Legion, obviously...and the other two "larger" Legions pulling themselves together, beginning to stand up...

Ronnie
Her punch was blocked by an arm rapidly turning steel, as the Giant Legion drew up to it's full height.




Meanwhile?!
A door slid open, and Will Stanton, leaning hard against one wall, stared out in disbelief at the chaos.

Daniel, in the meantime, went with his tried and true method of being a suicidal idiot. He ignored the Legions- or rather, he set his sights on Faultline, and had hotknives at the end of his fingers as he flew toward her, ready to shred any Legions that tried to stop him.

"Oh, you think you're tough?" Ronnie smirked and hauled back her arm again, swinging even harder this time. Striking the steel limb would cause it to dent and bend accompanied by the sound of over-stressed metal. She followed it up with a quick jab at where Legion's arm shifted from steel to regular goo, hoping to sever it while the evil creature was reeling from the previous punch.

Paladin couldn't bring up a forcefield in time and was force to block the obsidian blades with the anti-material rifle. Rifles weren't really made to block obsidian blades and the anti-material rifle was rendered unusable. And thus like anything not useful to him he tossed it aside before running towards Faultline.

"You are the one who made the mistake, Faultline," Paladin said as swirling energy covered his armored form.

The flares stuck on to the Giant Legion just fine, though if it bothered him, he didn't seem to show it.

Alice's giant fist DID dent the steel, impressively, but when she got her hands up to the clay bits,she would find her fist...sticking to the joint.

And she would also find a heavy fist coming from the other side towards her face-region.

Satisfied with at least having demolished Paladin's rifle and maybe relying a bit too much on Legion running interception she only notices Daniel when he's almost upon her. She swings her arm around, letting it grow at the same time, trying to smash Daniel away.

Cap'n

She could certainly fly in the way of the fist...

Still, getting punched by a giant Legion? That's GOTTA hurt...but it gave Ronnie a chance to recover...


Nick
The Legion...took into the air after him, and, extending one hand....began to fire bullets out of his fingers, straight at him.

While Ronnie was concerned for the safety of her teammates she wasn't about to pass up an opportunity. Especially not one that someone took a knock in order to give her. Instead of trying to pull her arm loose she instead plunged her other hand deep into the mass, then tried to spread her arms apart in the hopes of tearing the massive pile of grey goo in half.

Ronnie
Ronnie's massive mitts began splitting the Giant Legion apart---but from the center of the gap, a third hand shot out and gripped her throat!

Nick
As the Legion bared down on him, he activated the sonic device...and, yes, it caused rapidly growing chunks of the Legion to melt and drip down over combat below...but the majority of the mass was fighting through it, headed right at him!

John
Has John ever considered bowling? Because he justgot a strike.
