His strength was gradually beginning to abandon the son of Zeus, someone who really [i]wasn't[/i] known for his intelligence - someone with the subtly of a hammer in situations that required a carefully wielded scalpel. Maria managed to kick Hercules off of her, her godlike strength sending Hercules crashing into one of the structure's support beams. The building's structure had already become unstable from earlier - and Hercules, even with his life force sapped, was still a beefy man. And he had been thrown at the beam with the powers of a god. [b]The entire structure came crashing down. [/b] Maria would find herself pinned underneath a bunch of rubble, with one broken piece of wood imbedding itself in her stomach. [b][color=84B4E2]Cass and Matt vs Mr. Knight/Moon Knight[/color][/b] - Cass had managed to distract Moon Knight, although he had blocked her blows, but it was enough for Matt to roll out of the way and retrieve one of Moon Knight's weapons, using it expertly. Unfortunately, Moon Knight seemed [i]really good[/i] at blocking. "You're light on your feet, huh, señor?" Moon Knight asked Matt. His accent was completely different - before, it had been distinctly British, and now, it seemed much more Guatemalan. Matt and Cass would both manage to identify the accent, thanks to their years of work on special ops teams. "Let's dance," Moon Knight invited, before pressing his attack again. He threw a crescent shaped dagger at Cass, missing her. He went to kick Matt in the knees, aiming to cripple him, but Matt would manage to dodge the attack. Moon Knight swung a dagger at Matt, but Matt would manage to block it with his own weapon. Maybe their luck was beginning to change - maybe they'd manage to defeat this weirdo. And then the roof fell down on top of them and the house collapsed. Moon Knight was unscathed, thanks to his weird suit. Cass ended up being buried alive, badly bruised and concussed, but nothing was broken (due to her skin, basically). Matt would come to near the top of the rubble, able to free himself readily, but bleeding from his forehead. [b][color=84B4E2]Rogue and Gambit vs the Scarlet Scarab [/color][/b] The fight was definitely getting interesting here. The Scarlet Scarab managed to knock Gambit unconscious, and she was using her feathers as shields essentially as Rogue used all of her strength to try to beat the girl into submission. Their fight was interrupted however with the house collapsing on top of them. Rogue scooped up Gambit and managed to fly up and out of the rubble, escaping with no injuries. She left the Scarlet Scarab behind, unconscious, buried alive. [b][color=84B4E2]Amelia vs Aero[/color][/b] These two were perhaps lucky. They weren't inside the Aerie when it collapsed, simply not built for a full on superhero brawl. But on the other hand, they had just fallen off of the side of the mountain, heading for a painful drop. [color=FFB795]"I can't reach you!"[/color] Amelia shouted, her hand extended as she fell, trying to grab onto her counterpart to save her. Her mind was scrambled and confused, but Amelia was still Amelia - she was still the person who would jump straight into danger to save people, even if she was convinced they were a weird doppelgänger/clone/imposter. Aero had been caught off guard, her eyes wide. "You're fucking mad, now we're both going to die!" she shouted, but she reached her hand out to Amelia all the same. She didn't have her glider on her at the moment, the thing that allowed her to surf on air currents. Their best hope would be to find some way to slow their descent, and do their best to avoid being impaled on a tree or something. [color=FFB795]"If you're me, then there's no bloody way we're dying like this!"[/color] Amelia shouted. [color=FFB795]"Now come on, if we combine our power, we'll not just survive - we'll have a fucking blast doing it."[/color] Aero stared at her for a moment, before breaking out into laughter. "Fuck mate, you really are me, huh?" And so, the Amelias managed to grab onto each other. They held hands and spread their bodies out, looking a bit like two flying squirrels almost, and began to manipulate the air currents around them - doing their best to propel themselves back up to the top of the mountain - or to any solid ground they could, really. [b][color=84B4E2]Everyone Else vs Luminous Basically[/color][/b] Luminous was unconscious (and rather crispy). Oliver's hand will be a bit burned from having punched someone who was on fire, but compared to his other injuries, it was understandable he hadn't quite noticed that one yet. [color=d86615]"What the hell, Sparks!"[/color] Raynor shouted, his body twitching ever so slightly as an after effect of the lightning. She shocked him enough that it was a small miracle he hadn't developed some sort of heart condition - even for an Asgardian, electricity coursing through one's body was hardly ideal. He had thought she was just angry at Niah, but now it seemed she was pissed at him too? Well, actually, that was definitely understandable... The more he thought about it, the more he thought he knew why she had attacked him. [color=d86615]"I get it, you fucking hate me right now, but would you stop with the electricity?!"[/color] Raynor asked. [color=d86615]"It's like being around fucking Thor sometimes, I swear..."[/color] he muttered under his breath. He didn't often miss his uncle. His uncle had been a rather gassy individual, and had an unfortunate habit of shocking everyone with lightning in his vicinity upon passing gas. From what Raynor knew, that had been a problem relatively unique to 257-Thor. But still, he hadn't felt the need to seek out the god of thunder on Earth-666 for that reason. [color=f6989d]"Luminous pos-"[/color] Bonnie's explanation of what had happened to Sparky was interrupted, rather rudely, by the Aerie collapsing around them. Luminous shockingly would end up on top of the rubble once the dust had settled, unscathed, aside from her pre-existing injuries. Raynor similarly would be completely fine and not at all buried. As would Niah and Sparky. Bonnie, Oliver, and Flynn were the unlucky ones. Flynn's legs would be broken, the bone sticking out of his left leg, while the right one was a little better. Additionally, he would be buried under the rubble. Oliver would end up right next to Flynn, a piece of wood having gone straight through Oliver's chest, missing vital organs but still - not an ideal position to be in. Bonnie had the worst luck of all. Although she wasn't buried under the rubble, an iron bar went through her head, killing her instantly. She was dead. Very dead. And then her arm moved, and Bonnie pulled the iron bar out of her head, tossing it down on the ground next to her. [hider=For your reference][list][*]Cass - Cass will not like the idea of going to Genosha. She will begin to privately contemplate how best to destroy the nation. [*]Maria - A twisted emotion will dawn upon Maria. She will recall that her dear little sister, Kristina, is on Genosha. Alive and well. Happy, even. Safe. She never died. [*]Niah - Niah will suddenly feel an extreme urge to be near Oliver, but unlike their natural connection, this one... this one tastes much more co-dependent - like Harley Quinn's desire for the Joker. Weird, right? [*]Sparky - N/A [*]Bonnie - An immense sense of danger and urgency will overtake her, almost beyond the point of rationality. She will not go to Genosha. She will not go seek refuge with those who killed her parents. The only reason she would go to Genosha would be for revenge, to assassinate its leaders. [*]Matt - Matt will suddenly feel an overwhelming obsession to solve a series of murders occurring all over Europe. He suspects Oliver as the killer, but has never been able to obtain any evidence. [*]Oliver - Oliver will have a wonderful idea pop into his mind, one that he won't be able to quite shake no matter how much he tries. What if he killed Raynor? [i](Yes, I did roll for who he would target lol)[/i]. [*]Amelia - Amelia will feel her connection to the rest of the group severed, as if she never knew them, as if they weren't her friends. She will recall another group of friends, a group of vigilantes who defend the Blue. [*]Raynor - N/A [*]Flynn - Flynn will have a horrible realization dawn upon him. He got a [i]flatscan[/i] pregnant. Whenever he looks at Bonnie, or honestly any of the other humans in the group, he will feel a deep sense of revulsion and rage. [/list][/hider]
