[IC] The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

[RoflsMazoy]

"Emperor! Energy constructs are completely ineffective!" "I can see that, Theo." From what he could see, Taylor was completely overpowered. Seriously, what was with all of his powers? The amount of stuff he was packing should've been illegal. He was definitely S-class or higher with that amount of fire-power. Ahead of him, he saw him fire another blast of that weird energy at cartoon girl, who had jumped in a hole she seemed to have found in her dress and materialized behind the Doctor. "Damn it, no time to think!" He plunged his hand onto the ground and the black veins raced towards the Doctor. It was much faster in real time, and reached Taylor in no time. When it reached his arm, Alto materialized a tall black-steel spike that impaled the hand the energy was coming from and raised it upwards, the blast of energy obliterating a large chunk of wall. "Emperor! The temperature is dropping rapidly!" Theo said. Taylor was most likely preparing some kind of ice attack. "Alright, Theo-" Suddenly, a blast of energy fired off from somewhere behind him, offsetting the freezing wave launched by the Doctor. What the- Turning around, he looked to where Doctor Trees was supposed to be, only to find a nurse standing there instead? She looked like Doctor Tree's twin or something, where had she come from? Regardless, it was probably a good time to come up with a plan, so as the new nurse lifted a desk and prepared to throw it, he stuck out his left arm and threw out a hookshot towards cartoon girl. The hookshot didn't do damage, so cartoon girl wouldn't have been hurt by it. Even if it did, he doubted she would take any damage. He whipped his arm backwards and sent her sailing through the air towards him. He caught her easily, as the nurse behind him launched her desk. She's surprisingly light. He thought. Well, she is a cartoon so I guess it's fitting. "Hey Cartoon Girl," He said, "I have a plan."

Light's hammer had no visible impact on the guy she was attacking, causing the force of her blow to come back at her making her body to violently vibrate before she was sent into a nearby wall by a backhand from her opponent. "I really should learn this guys name or something. Can't do any battlecrys without knowing his name." Light said to herself as she popped out of the wall. Before the followup energy blast could hit her though, she found herself with some sort of spear in her stomach attached to a chain that pulled her out of the way of the blast and into a wave of cold that turned her blue due to the sudden temperature change. When she stopped, she found herself next to the guy who had called everyone there. Pulling the spear like thing out of her stomach and shaking off the chills, she muttered. "I'm in a fight with people that I don't know. No names, nada. yay?" She then waited to hear the guys plan as she scratched where the hookshot had hit her earlier.

The Cartoon Girl had turned a little blue, presumeably from the cold. Other than that, she seemed fine. Well, she looked fine, and as far as cartoons were concerned, as long as they looked fine they were fine. Probably. "First of all, Theo," Alto said raising his left arm, "Keep him busy." A humanoid entity made of glowing blue energy jumped out from his left hand and ran forward to engage Taylor. On the way, Alto got a black vein to spit out a spear for the projection to use. "I don't really know if this is right," He said, voice lowering to a whisper, "But I'm assuming that your hole thing is a straight up portal, on the basis of toon physics." He quickly looked over his shoulder to check that the projection was still keeping Taylor occupied before continuing. "That beam of his he likes so much can destroy pretty much anything, and if I'm right we can use it against him." Behind him, he felt the projection get cut in half, only to reform again. He stood up and formed dual black-steel tantos, one for each hand. "I'm going to keep him occupied until he gets his beam out again," He said to the toon, "Be ready for it, and make sure he gets hit." With that, he turned around and charged.

Director David Taylor decided that this was finally the time to introduce himself, which was what he did, saying: "Do you not understand? I am David Michael Taylor; CEO of Aperture, the one who pulled the strings of this war in the first place! I was The Voice; I was the one who employed the Metahuman who massacred all those people in Disney. My intellect dwarfs yours as the sun blots the stars!" And with that, he drew two swords of Metahuman-Metal and began parrying each and every one of Alto's strikes, before letting go of one blade and unleashing a full-on burst of stellar matter at his opponent.

The women in the nurse outfit used large chunks of the ground to protect Light form the attack,"Im...not done with you yet...little man.." She said in a guff yet feminine sounding voice walking forward towards David.She didn't hear what the other person said nor didn't care what he as long as David was dead. She used another chuck of the floor speeding at David to hit him.

[Archmage MC]

"I dunno if it works like that." Light said at his(alto) plan. "I'll try, but don't be shocked if ti doesn't work." She then heard the name of the guy they were fighting coming from his mouth as the guy who gave her a plan of attack went to distract him. Fiddling around under her dress, Light after a few attempts, found out where she pulled the previous hole from and pulled another one. She then fiddled around with it, the big bad mostly being distracted, and found that until she placed it on the ground, it had the same properties as rubber and didn't have any portal properties at all. However when she threw it at a surface, she could jump through it no problem, and appeared wherever she wanted as long as she focused on that spot. "Well, this is nifty. No more running!" Light said when she tested out the hole a bit. Grabbing another, she prepared herself for the plan, egging on Taylor with rude jokes about his name or initials.

[RoflsMazoy]

Alto's strikes were parried one after another, each swing of his dual blades met with equal force from Taylor's dual blades. C'mon! I know I'm not great at close combt, but still! He tried a feint followed by a quick stab but to no avail, his blade was sent spinning out of his hand as Taylor's other sword sped towards his head. He ducked backwards, he felt the wind rush by the blade, before using his momentum to tumble backwards away from the Doctor. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Cartoon Girl pull out several dark objects, she looked like she was ready. And by the looks of things, Taylor was looking peeved. Alto picked up his blades again, clashing with him momentarily. As Taylor charged a blast of that energy again, he quickly backed off as the Doctor launched the energy towards the toon girl. Yes! But suddenly, several pieces of the walls, ceiling and ground tore themselves from their places and crahsed together in the middle of the room and dissipated the energy blast. Damn it. Alto thought, I didn't tell nurse concrete about the plan... He hadn't had time for it anyway. He still didn't have time for it now, Taylor would hear him if he told her, and the look on Nurse Concrete's face said that she wouldn't have cared either way. "Ah, screw this." He said under his breath. As the nurse ran towards Taylor hoisting slabs of ground with her, Alto ran over to the toon. "Plan B," He said, "I'm going to throw you."

[The Patriarch]

Adam cursed as the ground became like quicksand, but thankfully he able to activate his rocket boots and launched out of the sand narrowly avoiding the swords. He created a shield and an arming sword constructs and began to hack at them with his blade and Adam went on the attack against David Taylor after the metahuman introduced himsef. He hoped that his teammates had been able to get out such a deadly situation. --- Mountain Lion gave a cry of pain as his sensitive ears picked up on the loud noise and he would have been hit by the spears had he not trained himself enough to overcome pain which is exactly what he did. He lunged for the man who had called himself David Taylor. He didn't care who the man was, he just wanted tear the man to pieces. He gave a mighty roar and was planning to slice open the man's face.

[Letter Bee]

Director David Taylor (not to be confused with Taylor from Worm) responded to Jenni/Dean's charge with a burst of superhuman speed, enabling him to do an Akido hold on the now-woman for a few minutes, enough for him to consume her blood through, well, a bite. But before anyone can make a vampire joke, the Director would then blast the entire group with telekensis much stronger than he had shown before; it seemed that by consuming Jenni/Dean's blood, he had managed to copy their powers. Not merely that, but Bloodrune's blood was still on him, so that gave him continued immunity to pure Metahuman powers, meaning that Adam's Hard-Light constructs would not affect the man. Mountain Lion's claws, however, would work better, his charge actually scoring a gash on the CEO's arm...

[Archmage MC]

Light watched as the others attempted attack after attack on Taylor, each one not having much effect. with all the attacks thrown at everyone, the only thing he had gotten was a scratch. "Guess I should do that... Poor guy though." Light thought to herself, formulating a plan. Pulling out another hole, Light jumped in and popped out from the ceiling, attempting to land on David and give him a nice tight bear hug. If she didn't make him majorly uncomfortable, prolonged exposure to her shifted reality would also eventually turn Taylor into a cartoon as well, but without any of the benefits. And even longer loss of reality would cause him to disappear entirely. though Light didn't know if she could hold onto him for that long as she was trying. And barring a miss, she'd keep dropping from different points in the ceiling til she got a grab.

[Eviledd1984]

Jenni had her blooded sucked and pushed away by the blast by the director,"Do you have a idea to get this guy?" She asked Adam in a slight scold on her face behind her mask."Fucker..is pissing me off...im gonna kill him..."She thought to herself biting her lips making blood flow out,She raised her hand out again destroying the floor underneath David."Kill....Kill....KILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILKILL...KILLLLLLLLL" She thought chanting out the words licking the blood from her mouth.

[RoflsMazoy]

Alto was suddenly thrown off his feet by some kind of invisible force, smacking painfully into the wall. "Emperor!" Theo said, "A telekinetic attack!" He sat up groggily, as he saw cartoon girl appear from a hole above the Doctor, and Nurse concrete was screaming her head off as she approached. The Doctor had a gash on his arm where lion-man had hit him, that meant that he wasn't shielded at that point in time. His mind sped through a few plans on what he could do. "Screw this." Alto said finally, "Con, Theo, do we have enough energy for this?" "Yes, master." Con said, "Yes, emperor." Theo said. Without wasting another breath, Alto slammed his right arm onto the ground yet again, and black veins raced from his fingertips. This time, they climbed onto the walls and ceiling, dodging the holes left behind by Nurse Concrete. Cartoon girl was holding the doctor down, so he would have to aim a little bit more carefully... When the veins were in place, he saw their surfaces ripple slightly, and Alto sent several humanoid blue-energy constructs towards them as each vein spat out a thin black-steel blade. The constructs each caught one blade, the ones in the air plunging onto doctor Taylor, and the ones from the walls charging point-end first.

[Letter Bee]

"Argh!" shouted David as he was grabbed by Light, while at the same time, the floor beneath him got destroyed, causing a hole to open up beneath him and the toon, which would have resulted in them falling if not for the blades that Alto's projections manifested, which pierced him through and through, bringing the CEO to the brink of death; said brink was then crossed by whatever Adam and John's attacks were. Finally, the Big Bad was defeated; it was the end of an era.

[The Patriarch]

Mountain Lion was in a bloodlusted rage and he lashed out again with his sharp claws when Director Taylor got impaled by his own constructs and proceeded to slice open the man's face going right through his skull killing him. The metahuman was now dead and John began to feel his bloodlust weaken. He had killed again and he wasn't sure how he felt. "What now?" he asked. --- Adam was surprised by the level of brutality of their enemy's death and for a moment he was silent and not sure what to say. It wasn't the fact that John had killed the man, it was the extreme violence. Maybe he had been wrong to ask him to join him. Either way things were not certain right now and who knew what the future held for them. "I don't know what will happen, but I've got a bad feeling about what's to come" John said to them as he stood over the man's body as a pool of blood came close to his feet.

[RoflsMazoy]

"Theo, Con, scan the body," Alto said, "Make sure he's really dead." He waited a few seconds for his arms to finish scanning the Doctor's body, still held aloft by Alto's blades. Alto wasn't showing it, but the telekinetic slam had hurt him. Theo was boosting his stamina so he wasn't winded, but it wasn't as if Theo had increased his natural toughness or anything. "He is dead, emperor." "Ah, good." Alto said. "Hey cartoon girl, You may want to get off." He raised his left arm and the blue energy constructs keeping Taylor in place dissappeared and the black steel blades they held deconstructed in mid air. The veins along the walls and ceiling receded into his right hand, and he slowly got up as Taylor fell. "Didn't think so much could happen in week..." Alto said, cricking his back a little. "Or however long it's been..." He stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out one of his spare fingerless gloves. "I haven't even been able to get another chair yet." Tugging the glove onto his left hand, he turned to look through one of the holes in the wall. "Still, looks like we can't go home yet." He said to no one in particular. "There's still some more stuff to do."

[Archmage MC]

"How many holes do I have in me now? I lost count." Light jokingly said as she fell to the ground with Taylor, still holding onto his body. "I'mma carry this corpse til it disappears. Hope your all ok with that? Don't want some super powered zombie down the road." she said as Taylor's armor began to look more cartoony every moment, and soon his body would as well. "Seriously though, yikes. You guys wanted him dead. So many swords and claws and stuff. I dunno what your beef was with him, but whatever. I'll be super mad if I get in trouble for this guy's death though." Light said again, grabbing a bit of cable that was scattered around the room and tying Taylor to her back, his blood noticeable on her pure white skin. "What now? I'm sorta just going with the flow at this point." Light said, sitting on a chunk of stone and playing with her hair. "Or are things going to get boring at this point?"

[Eviledd1984]

Jenni came over to the dead body for the former president standing over the corspe now,She clenched her hands letting her telekinetic powers consume her and started to punch the face of the director until his head was completely destroyed. "Fucker..." She cursed kicking the lifeless body,"Now we can torture his soul..." she added darkly.

[Letter Bee]

The thought would come to Alto and the others: they should be giving Light an explanation; she was smart in her own way, but the Toon-Metahuman could be quite a bit, well, of a ditz. Communication would then come from their FBI Comlinks; it was Constantine, who had managed to destroy the False Angels guarding the tower. "Guys, this is Constantine," he said. "Good job; I saw you guys end the CEO's life from the window," and sure enough, a man in power armor was floating just outside. "But, the battle isn't over yet; Isabella Lancaster -" "I'm still alive, by the way," spoke a woman's voice from a giant, nearby floating screen, "and I have a few surprises waiting nearby in my laboratories!" "Yes, as Isabella said..." Constantine voiced as he took back control of the conversation, "...she is still alive and still our enemy. You have the option of going after her or Ruby Greenfoot, Aperture's Terrorist Tecnopath and the one behind the FBI Bombings, but not both; we cannot afford to split up your team."

[RoflsMazoy]

"Ugh, man..." Alto said, "I don't really feel like fighting more monsters." He stifled a yawn as he thought about the prospect some more. Her face on the screen was annoying him slightly. "She makes me feel tired just by looking at her." He looked back at their party of misfits. Standing in front of them all sort of made him feel like their leader, but that was definitely just him. I want to go home... Alto thought. And go to sleep... Ruby might have been the easier option between the two. Even with all the stuff she could do, she was still just one person, and Isabella could've had another army stashed somewhere. Even if they had totalled the majority of her forces. They'd probably be about as annoying... He turned towards the party. "I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather deal with Ruby." He said to them, "Do you guys feel like taking on Aperture's strongest technopath? Or would you rather take on Ms. Mass Obstruction?"

[Archmage MC]

Light shrugged. "I wanna go after the bigger threat. I'm still sorta pumped from the previous fight, and I can teleport now! Well... Kinda." She said, annoyed at the now female Dean for splattering Taylor's brains all over the back of her head. "And if I remember right, Ruby isn't much of a threat. Shes too cocky to be one. Now that I can sorta teleport, considering the stripperiffic armor she wears, one punch would end her." Light said. Giving it a bit more thought, she continued. "If you guys wanna go after the other one, who this guy is hesitant to go after, I can probably take out Ruby alone. Unless you want me to come with you guys for the harder one."
