[h2][center][color=a0410d]Arsenal - Highway Robbery[/color][/center][/h2]
Arsenal had found himself hidden behind Chatterbox's reprimanded car, generally his defenses against most means of attack were low since most of his body was still flesh, so he had to find cover before unleashing his superior firepower at the soldiers and capes. Chatterbox was beside him, the man was going to be useless at first but if the group manages to protect him long enough it should end the fight there making the capes and soldiers follow his directions. Lovely was still making their way over to the highway, unprotected by the car's cover, but their parahuman ability gave them a superior defense against the Protectorate's methods of non-lethal attacks. Headhunter was positioned somewhere faraway in the hills, he would be giving them fire support with their obnoxiously powerful weapon and finally Sofia had found herself in the middle of the highway to disrupt the convoy. It was good that almost everyone was at their positions as the convoy could be seen by the entire group by now, the group all hopefully waiting for their plan to work as intended and break out Gamble with minor injuries from the ensuing fight with two professional capes. And boy, did their plan work wonders on the Protectorate. 

Three consecutive shots rung throughout the air, loud as balls, but all three managed to perfectly hit their targets. The ensuing clusterfuck happened between the convoy with one spiraling out of bounds of the highway, the other crashing into the median causing a pile up from the south, and the final unlucky truck that dealt with Sofia quite literally flipped in the air violently crashing onto the highway with sparks and scrap flying everywhere. As the scene settled for those few seconds, it almost looked like it was from some blockbuster action movie, the scene laid before Arsenal was quite awesome to the mind of the young boy. However, this is where the movie fantasy ends and where the real life fight was going to begin for the Jacks.

Exactly four men busted out of the vehicles, Arsenal quickly recorded the location of all four enemies with one completely out of cover firing rubber bullets at Sofia. One with a semi-auto rifle had hidden themselves behind the median of the highway taking shots at the approaching Lovely, and the other two hiding in the wreckage of concrete and ruined metal. However, there were no sight of the capes from what Arsenal could see with his fleshy eyes. All he could see were the lowly grunts, but the main trouble was hidden among the carnage of the highway. He didn't trust that the crash had knocked them out, but he would have to act now to get the upper hand against these grunts and Headhunter would most likely cover the group if the unknown capes were sneaking up on the bunch. Still, it was nice to not show out your entire hand at the beginning of the battle, so Arsenal only let out two of his mechanical arms from his large poncho. The two metallic limbs gleamed against the sunlight in their glorious aura which provided a more powerful weapon than those dinky weapons the grunts are using against the Jacks. [color=a0410d]"Time to do some work,"[/color] Arsenal said, all ten fingers suddenly transforming each into their own little barrels with the living weapon soon bursting from the car's cover. He let out soon a volley of firepower that those soldiers would never forget, all ten barrels individually streamed out their own rubber bullets, each finger controlling a different angle of fire, and each arm would be aiming at a different direction making this barrage of bullets fly in almost every direction in front of him. The first target would be the uncovered asshole shooting at Sofia, the two hiding in the poor cover would be next priority, and finally the last target would be the man hiding behind the median shooting at Lovely. Also you have to remember, Arsenal has even has more fire power under his poncho with even more weapons crammed into those arms meaning that he ain't going to be running out of ammo during this fight.

Still unaware of the Endbringer sized beast flying through the air, Artificer firmly grasped the hostage's hand and pulled her up onto the Ebony Fly which only left Kyoshi to climb on board. He watched that his partner didn't really want to take the safer route, but simply wanted a more stylish entrance to Furnace as with her powers soared straight into the air to reach the taller building. Artificer rolled his eyes at their new recruit's antics, soon ordering his fly to reach the group of heroes on the office building, transporting the hostage that seemed to be pressing their body tightly against his back which may or may not have caused some awkward blushing under his mask. 

The two arrived shortly after Kyoshi, the giant Ebony Fly landing onto the roof allowing the domino masked hostage to safely place themselves in the midst of the group of heroes. Artificer was still glad that G4M3R was safe with the help of Furnace, he would have to thank him after they get the most likely bewildered woman to safety, and this will also be a great story to say that the Minutemen had helped save a hostage with Furnace. They would definitely have to stop at the part where the mean blonde lady screwed over everyone on the roof, but still today was pretty good considering they actually managed to do something heroic in today's events. "Yo G4M3R, glad your safe, pretty crazy day am I rig-" Artificer managed to say, getting off his fly before a certain someone had suddenly materialized out of thin air. The sudden sight had shocked the young parahuman, losing his footing on his way down causing him to slip and slam onto the ground. "Fuck!" Artificer yelped out, quickly scurrying back onto his feet and ready to order the Ebony Fly to ram into the sudden completely covered mystery man. "Who- fuck that hurts, Who are you?" Artificer said defensively, the Mintuemen's pride probably couldn't handle being humiliated twice in one day by some random parahuman strangers.
