Nycto answers "As I said before captain, the... Wait... " as his danger sense goes off he says loud, so his mates and cop at the phone can hear "Something is wrong. There's big trouble here at the new Nova Tech building."

You nimbly slip through the crowd, reaching your girlfriend and startling her with a hug from behind. "Isn't this awesome?" she asks, highly entertained by the spectacle of the construction 'bots.

"Our life Together? yes ,it's awesome, that's what I keep telling myself. We're a potrait of joy & love." Harrison banters, trying to kiss her.

Looking at the bots
"That's not something you see every day... This year, it seems sci-fi invites itself in our lives. Soon, nothing will surprise us anymore"

Getting a better look at you, she asks if you've gotten any sleep, a look of concern crossing her face.

"Well,I admit that acting as a super hero is fun, but a bit time consuming.
It musn't mess too much with my job... that rent won't be payed by itself and , above all I don't want to miss precious moments with you..."
He says with a sigh
"In fact I was just hanging out with the supacrew. I can introduce you to those badasses...if you want. Most of them went through rough times...but they still got a good heart...and no manners." He says with a smile.

If you have danger sense, it lights up like an old Christmas tree!

Suddenly he frowns.
"Susan... Something's odd... We're not safe"

Javier looks around curiously. "What's going on?" he asks Nycto.

In a stressed voice Nycto answers, looking to both sides and turning into shadow "Don't know. Danger..."

"F**k me, Louise," Javier groans in tired resignation.

"From where?" he asks as he starts scanning the crowd in concern.

Nycto doesn't answer but keeps searching, tensed, as if expecting for the sky to fall.

Nyx tenses up, trouble, eh? He takes a few steps towards the fountain and begins to scan the crowd.

Nycto: "God help me I can't wait to arrest you, you smug sonof..." Captain Marshall says just before you flip your phone closed.

Nyx: You begin to walk towards the fountain, trying to listen for any sign of danger but fail to over the noise of the crowded square until...

Everyone but Overdrive: Alert for danger, you all notice the ground bulge and then crumple as though some object were moving just under the city street with remarkable speed, straight for Harrison and his girlfriend! "Harrison, watch out!"

Overdrive: You look around you, trying to spot the source of your anxiety, when you hear one of your companions shout a word of warning.

Spinning around, you see the asphalt bulge up then fall away as the Rockman emerges from the ground! You watch in horror as Susan falls to the far side of the rocky slav, who looks down at the prone young woman, its enormous back to you.

"Witam piekny," it grumbles.

I realized I was failing to factor in Danger Sense to everyone's priority. This works out better because everyone has a different priority now!

Order of Actions, Page 1
1) Overdrive (6)
2) Fenris (5)(You will need to spend your action moving to get to the Rockman, if you want to come down off the building)
3) Nycto (4)
4) Nyx (3)
5) Javi (2)

Assume everyone is close enough to engage the Rockman this turn except Fenris. After each name, I listed what I have as your priority. Please tell me if I have it wrong!

Time freezes around Harrison
He shakes his head as if in disbelief, his tender peacefulness supplanted by sharp terror.
Despite his danger sense he was caught off guard in an instant.
Why now? Why them? It makes no sense. That behemoth couldn't have recognised him. Unless he was not alone...and a sinister mastermind had whispered his secret identity to him.
What if Susan was the target?
A simple coincidence? The hulk just had a wicked taste for blonde?

Harrison has no time for the luxury of further thought because he fears so much for her at that time.

"Get off! she's taken!" he exclaims

Harrison can't take the risk to transform. But he's super-human even in human form.
He'll attempt to catch & shield Susan and move her away from danger.(on foot, no super-jump available!)

Fenris "spends his action moving to get to the Rockman"

Dustland · Post by **Dustland** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 9:54 pm

Harrison slips around the Rockman and grabs Susan, putting himself between her and the rocky nova.

"Zazdrosny?" he belows, then a rumbling laugh escapes from the Rockman's massive chest.

Fenris swings over the side of the building, clearing most of the distance before he lands in a crouch on the street.

Nycto's next, then Nyx

I stand corrected, Javi's priority should be 3 too. As before, I'll switch out Javi's and Nyx's order every round.

And in case you didn't check the other thread, I'm good with Nycto's power stunt.

Nycto teleports next to the rockman saying in a low voice "Hi there. Lets go for a trip." and loud to the others "I'll take him to a safer place where we can deal with him. Gather around."

He focus, as before, in the warehouse, shadowing the rockman and all around him, including his friends, trying to take them to a safer place, where inocents wouldn't be hurt by the fight.

OoC:
Nycto will trade (using the versatile advantage) the shadow mastery for a teleport 1 (only through shadows, usable on others, area, large burst) taking care not to take civilians with him .

The teleportation will happen in the end of this page (Concentration power), so the rest of the heroes can approach and the civilians can see the rockman and split the scene screaming.

I believe it will also happen before the next page of the Rockman.

Nycto will teleport to a empty, desert place (if possible with a little water for Nyx.
If from prior experience Nycto doesn't know a good place in Horizon City, he will lead all of them to the warehouses (inside one if possible) where sewers and company water should exist, and they are protected from aerial searchs.

"I'll take him to a safer place where we can deal with him. Gather around."

"Uh... yeah, sure," Nyx says, springing into action, the water from the fountain springs forth like a living waterfall. As Nyx rushes forward the water comes up behind him, diverges where ever it's about to hurt anyone, and wraps itself around the Rockman like the tentacles of a giant octopus.

(Using Hydrokinesis to grab Rockman with the water from the fountain, if it succeeds it should teleport the water with us when we go, if not I've got my canteens)
