[u]Matthew and Amanda[/u]

Hearing Amanda call his name, Matt accelerated his vision enhancement. It was far from completely developed, and would require more time to perfect, but he had some way of finding his way now, rather than simply bumping into things. "On my way!" he yelled, quickening his pace and moving over to Amanda's side. He had no idea where Nikki was, and therefore couldn't help her find her beloved cousin. "We need to rethink this, because I can barely see jack shit." Matt said. He doubted the enemies could really see either, but at least they were prepared for this. "Do you have a form that helps you see in the dark? Maybe you could heat up the metal on your body to make some light?"

"Get over here, you sexy thing!" Amanda shouted as she followed Matt's voice. Jesus, it was piss all dark. She was going to punch whoever knocked out the lights in the balls. Before Amanda knew it, she was getting zapped by electricity. Well, that was an over exaggeration, but she saw the electricity course through the room for a second, before it all disappeared. It wasn’t enough to trigger Amanda’s replicatio. "Yikes!" Amanda hopped back for a second out of surprise. [i]Okay, what the fuck is going on here?[/i] That was the least of her concerns. The worst of all, bugs were falling all over the place, and getting all over Amanda. That shit’s nasty. Whatever just happened probably killed Nikki’s spy bugs. [i]“FUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOU TEEEEEEAM OOOOOOOOOONE!”[/i] Amanda loudly shouted her cries of anguish at the enemy team. They would hear it, just because. 

Ugh, this team of hers is useless. They should have rushed the enemy bunker right behind her! Not jerk off. Whatever, whatever. [i]At least[/i] Amanda was hoping Panda-man would redeem himself, but no, he’s eating bamboo or fucking scary swordsmen lady. Keep it moving. It’s all up to Amanda and Matt now… But dear god, was it getting hot over here. Amanda felt a wave of heat overwhelm her body. She was dripping sweat, and could barely think straight. This was obviously the work of a Meta-human, but normally, at this point Amanda should have copied it…. Unless? What the fuck? It had to be Stephen! She already had his power. “Stephen, you dumbass, hit the other team….” She was wondering why in all hell he was going for Team 2, but he seems to be pretty dumb to begin with. Amanda created a pole to lean on as she panted, trying to gather her bearings. “[i]MAAAAAAAATT!![/i] I need you!” Amanda cried out, trying to get Matt’s attention quick as possible. If it needed to be, Amanda would [i]gladly[/i] knock Stephen out.

Hearing his girlfriend call him, Matt made his way over as quickly as he could. He relished the bugs falling, I mean, it came as a surprise and all, but hey, free biomass was free biomass, and he could use it fuel his power. He had created two large disks out of his limbs to collect the falling bugs, which were absorbed almost as soon as they fell. Now that he was charged, he changed his arms to claws. “Catch your breath, I’ll cover you as best I can. I can’t change powers too much more today.” he said. “Try wielding something lighter so you don’t tire yourself out. That pole will work. I’ll go take care of whoever’s doing this. Any ideas who?”

“Thank you.” Amanda said the moment after Matt came to assist. “It’s Stephen. He’s the only faggot who I got heat powers from… Go break him in half for me.” Amanda couldn’t control her metal ball anymore, so she would rather get it out the way than let anyone else use it. She rolled it back over behind cover, out of the way hopefully. That pole of metal she created broke off the floor. 
Matt nodded. “Gladly, and with that he was off, his super charged body pushing him faster than what any normal human could go. He ran to where he had last seen the bird brained tool. He skidded to a stop when he saw the village idiot. He had beat Sylvia to him. “You moron!” he shouted, his arms converting to muscle mass as to not cut the boy’s body in half as he collided with him, sending Stephen to a wall. “Go heat the other side of the field! It’s a god damn microwave out there! The only reason I’m functioning is because I’m spending energy keeping myself from overheating, cut the shit out!” he growled, backing off Stephen. “Help the team out here, [i]or I will.[/i]” he said flatly, before slipping off and away, back to where Amanda was. He had to make sure she stayed safe, as she was his priority right now.

[u]Henry and Jaska[/u]

[hider=Song 1][youtube]uTxUfwFyLRo[/youtube][/hider]

Henry waited, moving slowly, purposefully, along the wall. Each one of his appendages placed perfectly and slowly onto the cool metal of the base, as to make no sound. He moved along the wall, and was at this point within striking distance of his targets, his prey. He thought for a moment on his next course of action. He thought best to separate the young one from the older girl. He might've been a predator like himself, but he was still a child, and therefore experienced in hunting, or at least, not as experienced as him. He slowly but surely crept closer. He knew the boy knew he was being watched. He wanted him to figure out where he was. This was a training exercise, and he wanted to help the boy hone his senses. If any situation did that, it was here and now. 

Something was wrong here. Worse than before. Now that Henry has gotten closer, the boy's could sense him clearer, his instincts told him to move. Fight or flight... The inherent reaction. Coded into generation upon generation. He didn't know what to do, his instincts were overwhelming him. Overwriting the normally passive child's thought process with one similar to a beast. He nearly pushed Ella away. God dammit, he knew what moments like this caused. "... I'll get the flag, stay here!" He said uncharacteristically loud. Jaska's legs sprung up and he did one large leap until he was on the top of the enemy base. He choose to separate himself from Ella to protect her from himself. If he attacked her... He just wouldn't forgive himself. Separating himself made him feel as if he dropped a heavy weight, now he just has to worry about himself. Before he could do anything, everything flashed with an electric light. Bright lights were pretty painful, and the boy recoiled for a moment as he covered his eyes, "Ugh!" He exclaimed as he covered his eyes. Electricity briefly surged through his eyes - Fortunately, it wasn't anything serious. Bugs started dropping down on him. "... Hm?" The boy grunted in confusion. Like, he could smell the burnt matter, as it fell on him and stained his cool new suit... He distracted himself for a moment as he tried to brush them off. Unintentionally leaving himself open.

The light had no effect on Henry, in fact, if it weren’t for the bugs that began to rain from the sky and the little heat signatures they gave off that were slightly higher than usual, he probably would’ve have even noticed what happened. He ignored it for the time being, he was too focused on his target. He had separated himself from the girl, making his job a little bit easier. When the boy yelled, Henry screeched, lunging forward and grabbing the boy, ignoring the pain of the fire, his suit blocking most of the heat, but not all of it. The amount of force behind the lunge sent them both barreling off the side of the base, only for Henry to catch them by hooking his tail underneath a window. The two swung backwards, Henry’s tail unhooking and his body rolling to land with him on top. His jaws opened, revealing several sets of teeth and tongue and other mouthy bits that lacked the ability to camouflage, and looked like a floating mouth due to his body being cloaked. He roared in Jaska’s face, the high pitched screech more than likely to leave his ears ringing for a moment, before he launched himself off the boy and shut his jaws, returning to a more stealthy approach. The reptile jumped from his position on the ground, and clawed his way onto the ceiling, moving quickly. He made a great deal of sound this way, but would be harder to hit by any incoming attacks. As he moved, he called, this sound much deeper in pitch, and sounded more like a cry of alarm or for help than anything else. He wanted to make sure Jaska knew that not only he knew he had invaded, but that everyone else had. He wanted to make Jaska leave on his own accord. Scare tactics were far more effective than brute force most of the time. His body had already healed most of the burns, as they were minor, being mostly blocked by both Jaska and Henry’s suits, but would remain there for another few seconds before his stin returned to normal.

The boy had let his guard down. The one thing his mother told him [i]never[/i] to do. The moment he was grabbed, he loudly snarled, not unlike a demon would. He didn’t know what was going on, and he gave into his instincts. His body ignited with a brilliant flame, he was like a torch in Henry’s arms. Could be seen from a distance. His own suit was fortunately heat-proofed, but it wasn’t enough. The suit was covered in black scorch marks. Jaska desperately squirmed in an attempt to escape Henry’s grasp. His mind was taken over by the beast within. The moment he was released, Jaska darted off. Running on all fours, his feet made a skidding sound against the metal as he brought himself to a stop. The child was still illuminated by the fire. He was like a giant torch. But, he deactivated his pryomancery. The boy was growling, desperately searching for Henry so he could counterattack, he smelled the burnt lizard-flesh, but he stopped himself there. He quickly regained control of himself. Jaska knew that his plan to sneak into the base was a bust… It was like a Zebra alerting the rest of his pack… Jaska had no choice but to retreat, truly. Come from a different angle. It’d only be a matter of time before the rest of the enemy team shows up. 

Flight. Jaska ran to the edge of the enemy base, and leaped back up onto the wall. He ran past Ella, grabbing her wrist, trying to get her to run along with him. “C’mon, we have to run!” Henry alerted the pack, and it would only be a matter of time before they come to investigate. Inside the base, an echo of a roar could be heard, resonating around the arena causing the whole place to go silent for a moment, save for the music.

There was no better way of telling someone to stay out than that.
