Even as the hero impacted the attacker there was still evidence of the training that the being clearly possessed, the sword and whip deactivated in the moment before the strike to ensure there was no chance of self-injury following the impact. Then there was the impact and a sickening crunching sound. The gold and white armored figure still made not a sound of pain even when slammed with great force that smashed it into the side of a van and that left a momentary dent in the armor around the midsection. The dent however quickly smoothed itself over as the malmetal worked to repair itself and undo the denting blow. As the figure levered itself to its feet again the cannon mounted on the front of the vehicle spat out a burst of plasma that struck the hero from behind and sent him sprawling to the ground. Then it spat another burst, and yet another after. The white and gold armored fighter flicked both hands and this time two plasma whips flared to life. Both of them were sent flicking out at the superhero just as he regained his own footing, still straining under the weight of fire.It was subtle but the force behind the whip blows seemed to be greater than the earlier impacts that had struck the hero and as the whips wrapped around his legs the being tugged hard using the whips to hurl the hero into one of the pillars in front of city hall. Then again demonstrating either grave single-mindedness or overwhelming determination the figure turned and moving at a sprint charged towards Macros who had remained, watching with interest.

Icon got to his feet as the attacker again made his way toward Macros, who had not heeded the hero’s warning to get out of harm’s way. Icon let out a grunt as he again left his feet, to trail the would be assassin and keep his target safe. Moving at break neck speed, Icon caught up with the assailant, wrapping his arms around the gold and white clad attacker, and driving him into the ground. This proved to be of little concern for the attacker, who almost instantly got back to his feet and reached for one of his many weapons. 

Icon chose not to give him the chance. Instead, he hit the armored attacker with a right hand that dented the armor covering the attacker’s face. He then fired back with another punch that sent the attacker crashing into the brick and mortar exterior wall of City Hall, the impact sounding much like that of a high speed automobile accident.

The attacker again stirred, getting back to his feet, and as he did so, the armor seemingly repaired itself, the dents left in the armor vanishing even as Icon charged in for another assault.
