[B]Furious[/b] The whole world became an explosion of white, thunder echoing across the bright empty planes. It took Furious what seemed like an age to realise it wasn't the world that was white, just his perception of it. Thankfully his increased durability and regeneration negated the worst of Chrome's blow in seconds, the young vigilante managing to regain his balance before he barrelled into Changeling. Chrome was proving to be far more troublesome than he had first appeared, but on the plus side Furious had managed to escape his grasp and the steel-man now seemed to be on the back foot. Even he couldn't last long under the combined might of the two heroes. Instead of leaping back at the attack Furious used the momentary lull to survey the rest of the field. He was surprised to see that the heroes had managed to get the villains on their back foot, especially after the dismal performance his would be comrades had put in at the start of the confrontation. Then again the worst of the bunch had probably been taken down already, so they were left with the hardiest and most powerful. Fitting then, as Furious was the most powerful of all. They would no doubt need his help to rescue the hostages, but he'd be damned if he was going to abandon his confrontation with Chrome before going to help them. “We've wasted too much time with him,” he stated to Changeling while gesturing at Chrome. “We need to get to the bus and save those hostages. You go, I'll be with you presently.” the words were spoken with a grim certainty. Most people would have realised that taking Chrome on head on is futile by now, the 'villain' being to strong. Added to that was the fact that the steel-man was no doubt expecting another attack, steadying himself for another bout. Furious was stronger now, and faster too. He stalked towards his adversary, rolling his shoulders to work them loose. The thing was that no matter how powerful an enemy was, how tough or how many surprises they had up their sleeve's, Furious was just to well adapted to beat physically. The longer the fight went on the stronger he became. Suddenly he roared and charged forward once again, a move Chrome was probably becoming quite familiar with. As he closed he send a wide, powerful right hand swinging for Chrome's head. It was a cunningly crafted feint for Furious's real attack though. If Chrome took the bait and either blocked or evaded the blow then the red-masked hero would follow up with a thundering knee strike with all his force, aimed directly at the dents he had caused on Chrome earlier with his knee.
