With the others spreading out to contain the situations occurring around her Bumblebee focussed on the mission, blasting another wave of shocking bolts into Thrash as the drummer began pounding at her kit yet again. "You were supposed to stay down," she snarled angrily, aiming a shot between the demonic drummer's eyes and pulling the trigger.

Deimos' mentality was not in the best for fighting a Demon asshole, ans so as she stared out, horrified at her inability to save the cheerleaders, Heretic caught her a good attack and her consciousness slipped away again, something more going with it. Nightingale was there again, her healing, questing hands bringing Deimos back. But, there was something wrong. Deimos' mind was not brought back with her, having retreated to the beaches to sip martinis and watch the pretty girls instead of having to deal with all this crap. So, the woman was helpless, and useless to the team, in her present state. And yet, there was a strange feeling of something new trying to fill the hole where her mind was, something....different.

And there was that little problem with the bitch Thrash biting the hand that saved her from firey oblivion, but still, Deimos.

Deimos, Nightingale, Brick, Bumblebee, Sigma, Void and Vex are all under the shimmering bubble of void energy, along with Thrash and the unconscious Discord. The Cheerleaders lay unconscious on the rooftop outside the bubble, their clothes burnt off but otherwise stable. The rooftop is smoking from the doused fires, but the support beams beneath are groaning with the weight of the party as the vibrations from Thrash's attack weaken them further.

Demon-Heretic, Flare and Psy-Warp are on the edge of the rooftop.

Rocksmith is currently on the neighbouring rooftop.

Callsign: Thrash
Real Name: ?

Thrash

Role: Flanker
Stats: 21 / 10 / 3
Energy: 4
Power Origin: Magic
Power Set: Devilish Drummer
Abilities:

• Crescendo - Energy Cost: 3
  ^{Breaking out into a long drum solo Thrash beats out the music so fast her enemies can barely keep themselves from collapsing. Crescendo grants Thrash the Beatdown status effect, inflicts a cumulative Downbeat status effect, which reduces her targets' Attack and Defence by 1, and then causes 2 Health loss for each Beatdown effect currently active. This ability bypasses all normal defenses and is counted as a field-wide effect which cannot be dodged or blocked.}
• Shockwave - Energy Cost: 2
  ^{Smashing her drumskins with all her might Thrash send out powerful, damaging waves of sonic energy to hammer her opponents, causing a basic ranged attack with damage increased by Thrash's Attack for each Beatdown effect currently active, but exhausting all Beatdown and Downbeat effects in the process.}

Traits:

• Wall of Sound
  ^{With her music never pausing for a moment Thrash generates a sonic field making it difficult for anyone to get close to her. Any time she's targeted by a melee attack the attacker loses -3 Attack.}
• Lost In The Rhythm
  ^{Pouring all her concentration into the breakneck rhythms of her music invigorates and re-energises Thrash, making her feel alive. When Thrash's Health is below 50% (25 points) and she manages to cause Health loss against an opponent she recovers 1 Health and gains the Energized status effect, granting her +1 Energy Regeneration until the end of the following round. Energized does not stack with itself.}

With her battery pack fully discharged into her enemy's face and Thrash still pounding out her devilish beats Bumblebee needed to get herself some room to maneuver. Firing up her jetpack she shot high up into the air, trying to get herself clear of the distorting sound waves before they overcame her again.

Violet felt a bit of an adrenaline rush from the light pain and from the anger that continued with the return of the loud drumming though the encounter with Heretic was less then pleasant. She recognized Brick in between her and the demon as well as the groaning from below of the supports. However, the only thing running through her mind was to shut up the drummer bitch who was really starting to piss her off. Her attention went to the Thrash's arms deciding to use her face as a new instrument by grabbing each and redirecting them straight to it. The staff as the Vault always tried to help her suppress her anger and tried to keep her out of situations where it would be a factor but its hard to stop someone who doesn't want it, especially if they are a stubborn psychic with anger issues.

"I'll give you something to beat on you loud mouth bitch!" Violet yelled out starting to enjoy letting out her frustration more directly.

Deimos link
Energy 2/10

Deimos was, even as Nightingale stabalized her physical condition, mentally out of the fight. It was to much for the young girl with thoughts of being a hero, and saving people. But, just when she had given up on being a hero, or even being conscious, she heard a voice in her head.
'Someone so beautiful, and so unique, should not fall into this pit of anguish. Heroes can not save everyone, nobody can. But, Heroes are those who try to save everyone, regardless of actions. Do not despair over what you can't do, but rejoice over what you can do. Think of those you have saved, not those you haven't' The voice was so soothing, and yet so powerful. Deimos could just, drown in her presence. It then seemed to, push her aside and take over her body, using it like a stringless marionette. Deimos wanted to ask who it was, but words did not escape her mouth, even her Mind Mouth.

Then, on the outside world, Deimos' body rose, with a powerful confidence not seen before now. The drum beat was annoying, irritating, but not the main problem. These other, fine young humans could deal with that. She had other things to fight, namely the demonic creature in front of her. She smiled, and slowly sashayed up to it, as if this was nothing more than a supermarket.
"Relinquo, infirmus" she told it, before suddenly darting forwards and grabbing the Demon Creature's head, dragging it down onto her on-coming knee. Then, after she had pulled that move off, she threw two fists at the Half-blood, one colliding with it's face, and the other smashing into it's stomach. With any luck, it would be, at very least, severely wounded by her assault.

Having freed himself from the stinging of the flames, a rather familiar -if not excruciating- noise resounded upon the roof. "If it's not one thing, it's another... And RETINA is still down." Shaking his head in dismay, he'd look down at the extinguisher in his hands... And a plan slowly started to formulate. With renewed vigor, Vex would sprint back up to the roof; dodging in and around his allies as he drew near Thrash. In one swift movement, he'd bring up the fire extinguisher before the 'Bitch's' face and pierce it with his blade. As the vessel ruptured, a thick cloud of white smoke would begin building up around the two. The heavy concentration of CO2 would make it hard for any human's lungs to function properly-not to mention the smoke making it harder to see... However, Vex's enhancements saw to it that he would be unaffected by the smoke.

Flare sighed in relief as the flames went out. Though the moment was quickly ruined when the infernal drumming once again began its assault on his eardrums. He angrily turned to face the source flame welling up, before he saw that the target in question was currently engulfed in fire extinguisher fluid. Since his fighting skill outside of using his flame was virtually non-existent he opted to instead help take down Heretic, firing off a flaming bolt of power into the demon's leg. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was a better way to deal with their transformed ally but he couldn't think of anything at the moment.

Heretic LINK
Energy 4/10

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heretic's body was racked with pain as his many former colleagues threw themselves at the demonic beast. Tremors coursed down Heretic's spine due to Rocksmith's lightning bolt, already bruised flesh bleed as the Psy-warp's knee found home in his gut, Thrash broke open the ear drums of the poor imp, and Brick came to kick Yuki away from whatever could be his next benevolent prey. Breathing heavily, Heretic was again met with another offense. Deimos, bringing her knee into the demon's large forehead, cracked a nice scar into the monster's face.
Heretic stumbled around, wounds opening and his mind boggled with strain, Heretic was ready to give u- 'Pain... So much... Oh, so much PAIN! I WANT MORE!', It seemed that the boy's pyschoatic alter ego had other plans.
Ripping across the rooftop, the material beneath Heretic melting away at the touch of his sprinting heels, the insane dark prince grabbed Brick's armored wrist and swung him around like the rock wrecking ball he was. Heretic looked for a new victim, his glare landing on the opposing Deimos. "VIA NYTE RELINQUO INFIRMUS, THY RELINQUO EXTERMINATOS!!!", He screamed, remembering the insult Deimos had declared to this mighty hell lord. Bringing the dizzied ball of earth and man towards the martial artist, Heretic flung Brick at the insolent Deimos and followed with his signature bounding charge.

With Heretic looming over him, he once more fell to familiarity as he formed another layer of protection for the massive blow that was to come. What he didn't expect was to be picked up and flung about against his own allies. Even in the panic, he still tried to keep everyone on goal.

"STOP FIGHING HERETIC! TAKE OUT THRASH!"

Nightingale, Brick, Sigma and Void are all under the shimmering bubble of void energy, along with Thrash and the unconscious Discord. The Cheerleaders lay unconscious on the rooftop outside the bubble, their clothes burnt off but otherwise stable. The rooftop is smoking from the doused fires, but the support beams beneath are groaning with the weight of the party as the vibrations from Thrash's attack weaken them further, although now a giant demon isn't stomping over them they seem to be stabilizing somewhat.

Deimos, Flare and Psy-Warp are on the edge of the rooftop beside Heretic's unconscious body.

Rocksmith is currently on the neighbouring rooftop.

Bumblebee is flying high above the rooftop.

Vex is currently in the alleyway beside the bank.

Callsign: Thrash
Real Name: ?

Thrash

Role: Flanker
Stats: 25 / 10 / 3
Energy: 3
Power Origin: Magic
Power Set: Devilish Drummer
Abilities:

• Crescendo - Energy Cost: 3
  ^{Breaking out into a long drum solo Thrash beats out the music so fast her enemies can barely keep themselves from collapsing. Crescendo grants Thrash the Beatdown status effect, inflicts a cumulative Downbeat status effect, which reduces her targets' Attack and Defence by 1, and then causes 2 Health loss for each Beatdown effect currently active. This ability bypasses all normal defenses and is counted as a field-wide effect which cannot be dodged or blocked.}
• Shockwave - Energy Cost: 2
  ^{Smashing her drumskins with all her might Thrash send out powerful, damaging waves of sonic energy to hammer her opponents, causing a basic ranged attack with damage increased by Thrash's Attack for each Beatdown effect currently active, but exhausting all Beatdown and Downbeat effects in the process.}

Traits:

• Wall of Sound
  ^{With her music never pausing for a moment Thrash generates a sonic field making it difficult for anyone to get close to her. Any time she's targeted by a melee attack the attacker loses -3 Attack.}
• Lost In The Rhythm
  ^{Pouring all her concentration into the breakneck rhythms of her music invigorates and re-energises Thrash, making her feel alive. When Thrash's Health is below 50% (25 points) and she manages to cause Health loss against an opponent she recovers 1 Health and gains the Energized status effect, granting her +1 Energy Regeneration until the end of the following round. Energized does not stack with itself.}

As brick decided to take on therash since almost no one else seemed to know how, he looked around for a weapon. He had tossed the SMG to flare earlier but gods knows where that went, So he settled for picking up the 'model rocketship' (how fitting) And tried to knock her ass out with a football throw to her nose like Janet Brady.

"Everyone, take out the thrash."

@knighthawk

...and spots the spiked baseball bat, razor-sharp chain, lead pipe, sharpened pool cue, bar stool leg and large purple rubber 'model rocketship' which had been dropped by the Cheerleaders. Not to mention the large pile of twisted debris and wreckage which was all that was left of the transport helicopter and sound stage, complete with full speaker system.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sprinting towards Deimos, Heretic felt fatigue ravage his body. The crack in his head had done much more than simply supplying a scar. His eyesight grew blurry as his numb body tripped and dropped Brick clumsily on the ground, his body morphing back to it's original human state.
Yuki laid defeated on the rough bank roof, his body severely bruised and head bleeding intensely. The demon had left these wounds for Heretic to suffer, he was his puppet after all, why take good care of him? Coughing and squirming, Heretic tried to regain his concioussness and memory, but everything remained blank. With nothing else to offer to this blood bath, Heretic vomited his burning stomach contents onto the ground beside him, and curled into a vulnerable fetus position.

Action

• Heretic Vomited

Demios, or the Queen currently controlling her, felt the Demon's face yield to her knee as it ripped consciousness from his grasp.
"Ohh, you where sprouting all that good shit a minute ago, and then I bust you f*%$in' skull in. Tsk, I forgot how easily creatures of the mortal realm broke" She muttered, before getting hit by Thrash's blast. Shame, that woman didn't bother to simply lie down, thankful she and her partner had been saved from firey oblivion. It reminded her of Fusian's tale, slightly.

But, there was nothing for it not, except to show them all why they should still Fear the Dark. And this next strike would certainly leave her mark on the mortal, but wouldn't be sufficent to kill her. She would need her own body for that kind of firepower. Deimos' body crossed the roof to the drummer, while speaking to the man who seemed to think himself a commander "Shouting man. Orders are not followed because of the strength of your lungs, but rather the strength of your heart. To order a person, you must know them, and to know a person you must first know yourself. And then, you must know your enemy. Know yourself, and Know your enemy, and you need not fear a Thousand Battles". The Queen liked giving smart pep talks, even if the qoutes where stolen from rather smart humans. An ominous energy blossomed from her arm as she walked, as taking the appearance of a ragged flame bright as a thousand suns, if a thousand suns gave off darkness instead of light. She then got close to Trash, and adressed her. "It is not uncommon to bite the hand that feeds you, but you must be aware when this hand comes not to help, but to harm" Her fist clentched, and the black flame condenced into her fist, which was then drawn back. "All Royality possess crowns, but they are not immidiately visible. This, human woman, is my crown. I am Nenatalev Deimos Kabal, and you shall feel my right to Rule the Demon Women for your dishonor" she then threw the flaming fist at Thrash, hoping to knock some sense of decency into the woman. Thrash was covered in some sort of smoke that rendered her untouchable by mortal means, but the power in this fist flared out as Life Hunt, the ability to sense and hone in on a person's life force, their Chi, and by-pass the physical restrinctions therein.

Rocksmith shuddered for a moment as the lightning hit Heretic. But the irrational disturbance didn't last long. Rocksmith suddenly felt a massive shift in the awesome-force that coincided with the awesome speech Deimos gave and the attack she served to thrash on a silver platter. Rocksmith played the jump chord and was back on the bank roof in seconds. "I dedicate this next number to you, your highness" Rocksmith called out to Deimos. With that said, Rocksmith played an epic solo in tribute to the queen that was now among them.

Flare gave a sigh of relief as Heretic finally fell to the floor unable to continue fighting. Judging from the vomit he was in extreme pain but would probably live, unless Thrash's music drove him past the brink. Unfortunately Thrash was now in a smoke cloud made on anti-fire which mad him unable to attack her without attempting an attack big enough to disperse it which would hit his allies. Flare pulled out the SMG that Brick he had held off on using until now, he wasn't sure how well he could use the thing. Never the less he stowed his pistol and brought out the SMG keeping it trained on the cloud, as soon as he got a chance he would unload on Thrash. "Someone get rid of this smoke so we can finish this!" Flare shouted over the noise.

Hearing Flare plaintive wail Bumblebee swooped down over the rooftop, slashing her way through the centre of the smoke cloud as she fired her airbrakes to dissipate the thick CO2. A moment later she was up and away again, keeping herself well clear of the pounding sonic waves washing out from Thrash's drumkit.

Groaning heavily at the feeling of his harsh fall, Vex flexed his muscles as the sudden shock from the pain subsided. As his head turns to inspect the damage, he can't help but feel his vision blur once more; taking most of his effort to keep things in focus.

"That didn't work out quite as planned," sighing heavily, the man would roll his head back to look up at the roof of the bank he had just fell from. Snarling from the pain, Vex forced himself to stand, his body sore and trembling from the assault on his senses. Moving his way over to the nearest wall, Vex would set himself down, closing his eyes as he took a breather to let the pain subside.
