Young Justice RP :: semi lit

Rosa noticed Singularity crawling towards the Ape and realized something was wrong with his legs. "Back off you idiot, I got this" Rosa snarled leaping onto the Ape's back and allowing her claws to run through his skin creating perfect lines of red down his back. The over-sized monkey howled in pain swinging around and slinging her into the wall. There was a sickening crunch in her shoulder and the pain was immediate and excruciating. "Oh your gonna pay for that," she snarled leaning onto her hind quarters and launching for the beasts head.
 
She flipped backwards, free from the death grip but leaving the neck in her costume shredded--she couldn't care less--she landed in a crouch with her cape splayed neatly around her on the floor. She grinned smuggly as electricity arched from the arm she escaped. To let herself become trapped was the only way to cripple the Oct. She could have dodged his attack easily, instead she used it as a cover to wedge an EMP into the clamp hinge. Doc Oct scowled. His arms had somewhat of a mind of their own, only being directed by Oct, but using the same essential brain. As the magnetic pulse spread to the other arms, there was a flash and a crack from the pack on Oct's back. Doc Oct jerked around as his own machine, connected into his neveous system, fried him. He gave a blood curtling scream, and seeing his colleages had fallen, he reached for his watch. He pressed the clock face and it began to pulse with a red light.


The ambient rumbling grew louder. Batgirl ran to help Clawed Rose with Malla. With a running jump she reached climbed to the top of the file cabinets, then launched herself off and kicked the ape in the face. He held a hand lightly to his face and smiled sinisterly, "This is where you meet your end," he cackled in a French accent, seeing the watch, "You are too late,"


The rumbling got louder and louder untill there was a hollow grinding then a high pitched squeal. The wall crashed in from behind Malla. Red Skull, Mysterio, and a few other second-rate criminals were seated in a large drilling machine. The cocke-pit opened and fog spewed out. The villains filed out, and under the cover of the smoke screen, they collected their colleages. Harley Quinn quickly untied the Joker and carried him back to the vehicle. Her voice echoed around, Batgirl was unable to pin-point it, however she recieved a blow from the dark, something wide and flat smacked into her head and sent her flying into the cabinets, "See you around, suckers. Don't you know the song? The Joker always gets away." Their malicious laughter filled the dismall silence, amused by their own joke, refering to the parody of a Christmas Carol. The sounded of rumbling and drilling reverberated around the swirling fog as the villains made their hasty retreat.


Batgirl was furious, she clenched her fisted and punched the nearest object, leaving a massive dent in a nearby file cabinet. Her suit absorbed most of the impact of the blow, but she had a large gash on her head. A stream of blood ran down her ear and her neck. She knew the machine must have been a mile away by now--there was nothing they could do about it, the team was injured, they couldn't pursue, it would be marking their own graves--by the rumbling continued, accompanied by eerie groaning of metal. The fog began to clear and Batgirl noticed a flashing red light coming from the ceiling. She looked up and immediatly wished she hadn't. The rescue party had left Doc Oct behind. His body was virtually torn in half, his internals oozing out there was a bomb stuck into his chest cavity. No way was she going to disable that one. "BOMB!" she bellowed. With the supports already weakened, a bomb that size would leave the vaults crippled. "EVERYONE OUT!"


The smoke screen was clearing rapidly and she saw Singularity on the ground. "Shit." she cursed under her breath. There wasn't enough time for a medical rescue personel to come. She looked around, desperatly for something to improvise.
 
Singularity's face bleached under his helmet when he heard the drill break in. He immediately began to turn around and try to crawl out. This meant two possibilities: Either the drill will collapse the vaults,or is being used as a subterranian APC. When he heard Harley's shrill voice gloating,he knew it was the latter. He slid the rod of mass he was brandishing into his pouch once more,and used both arms to propell himself along the ground. Then came Batgirls cry of "Bomb". "Why is it always a bomb!? Why not a sentry gun,or something!?" He picked up the pace. He dug his hands into the floor,gripping to the holes,then threw himself forward. "Oracle! I'm done being an idiot! This building is coming down! Get medical teams on scene,NOW! Get Special Weapons and Tactics on scene! Get the army on scene! And get Xavier on the horn!" Then he saw Batgirl. She looked distressed. She taken one good look at him,and cursed.


"Lemme guess;my injuries are an issue?"
 
As soon as the the villains escaped, Jacob fell to his knees. He was so close. he could have ended it all here. it would have been over. He roared with anger in the vault, echoing the vault walls. all that was left in his heart was the bitter and ashen taste of defeat. He turned his furious gaze to Batgirl. "He got away." his voice was dark, then shouted "THEY ALL GOT AWAY!" He stood up and looked like he was about to punch her, until she bellowed about the bomb.


He spun towards he line of sight, and saw the bomb on Oc's chest.Dammit. if someone like him goes down, he'll take as many as he can with him! He spread his wings and began flying out with wind speed. While heading to the door, he saw Singularity on the floor.


"Sorry man, but this will hurt!"


Jacob flew lower and grabbed Singularity by the torso with his right arm. While doing so, he noticed two-face on the side, knocked out cold.


Finnaly some good news!


"WONDERBOY!" Jacob yelled as he passed by, "GET TWO-FACE! WE'LL NEED HIM!" Flapping his wings, he sored out of the vault with Singularity in his arms. The guy looked like he'd been through hell.


Please God, dont let another person die tonight!
 
Singularity let out a surprised cough as an arm wraped itself around his torso,which was quickly followed by a scream when his legs began to move. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I HATE NEWTON RIGHT NOW!" Singularity's legs waggled limply and lamely beneath him. He looked over his shoulder as he Fallen flew out with Singularity. "Oracle. Find a way to keep the medical response team from carting me off before the rest of the team gets out."
 
Jacob grimaced from the weight he was carrying and how much effort he had to put into his wings.


"I'M INCLINED TO AGREE WITH YOU! IF WE GET OUT OF THIS I'LL BUY YOU A PIZZA OR SOMETHING!"
 
The Clawed Rose watched in disgust as the Ape escaped but now she realized they had to get out. She noticed Fallen struggling with Singularity, they were so low she could slip underneath and bear some of the weight on her body. However this meant trusting Fallen not to drop the over sized robot on her. She started to run beside them her powerful body coiling and releasing with each graceful stride. "I'm gonna help but by god if you drop him on me I will haunt you as a terribly sexy ghost," she purred, Rosa was beginning to get a hang of talking through her translation collar. She raced ahead of them then stopped lowering herself into a crouch. The moment Singularity was above her she thrust upward so that her shoulders and back carried some of the weight. She knew that they were still moving pretty slowly but hopefully things would speed up. She had to keep her legs somewhat crouched because the weight of the robot was so heavy and most likely Fallen couldn't fly much higher in the tight hallways.
 
"And I'll set you up with a place to crash! Fly! We're the weakest links!" Oracle spoke into his ear. "Already done. SWAT has taken control of the property,with the military holding surrounding exit routes with Infantry Fighting Vehicles. Xavier will met you at the hospital." "Alright. Singularity out." Suddenly,he felt something press on his front. He looked down,and saw the was being supported from beneath by the Rose Panther. "Thanks. I need to work on keeping myself from breaking..." He groaned in pain. His legs were feeling like they got blown to pieces.
 
The action seemed to hit the room immediately as the group broke off to fight each other, despite the cripple that had to drag himself across the floor. Mack kept pressed against the machine, as she finally recognized batgirl as the one to be fighting Doctor Oct. The feral-human cat was taking on the gorilla, a young boy against the Joker, while the one with wings battled Two-face. The battles all seemed to be going well, until Harley Quinn entered the scene and attacked the younger teen that had been beating up the Joker.


Flare’s hand flew out, and she almost risked the exposure of both her and the weapon behind her when the angel knocked Harley off him. The room’s quakes continued and she kept looking around the room for a cause until it exposed itself. With a loud noise, a drill broke through the wall and Flare was wondering if they had called reinforcements. Dully she noted the hour left, as the cockpit opened and smokescreen filled the area and the villains inside gathered their comrades. There was more taunting in between the groups as the drill slowly buried back out of the vault.


It seemed they had left a present, as Mack noticed the flashing red light on the bomb before anyone in the group seemed to. With panic, she looked back at the injured member of the group as batgirl noticed the bomb on the ceiling. The girl cursed openly, yelling to the rest of the crew and noticing for herself the injured, and trying to find a way out of the room. The winged man had taken care of her problems though, suddenly taking off towards the door and grabbing the robot on the way.


Mack wasted no time after that, peeling herself off the machinery and ending the vanishing act that hid it. As she made the dash for the vault door and had a realization hit her in mid-stride out the vaults door. If the villains had a drill, they would be able to recover the weapon that she had spent the time protecting. With the thought it mind, her arm outstretched to the group in front of her, making sure not to touch them.


Energy started gathering with ease, as it was pulled from their electrical equipment and the suit that the winged man was currently carrying with help from the feline. If the group were to look behind them, they would see the bright outline that encompassed a mirage. The time was running out for her, and she stopped the lift, as she once again vanished from sight. Turning her body backwards, and stopping at the entrance to the main vault area she held her hand up and as the bomb went off, so did the huge energy blast from her hand. Completely destroying the weapon they had left behind, as well as revealing her figure to anyone lucky enough to be looking.


As the beam finished, she realized her time had diminished with the fact she could still see herself and she peered at the group.
 
"Tempting offer, but i'll pull my weight nonetheless!" Jacob replied to Rosa, with a smile. "Or will i get a slap to the face if i take most of the weight on me?"


If i didnt know better...no i guess it's just her being soci- JACOB! WE'RE ESCAPING A BOMB BLAST!


Jacob had to give everything he had this time. Flapping his wings even harder, it was like he was making a gust of wind in the hallway. Guess his strength came in handy for flight, but didnt know how long, or if it was hindering the members behind him (If they were that is).
 
Rosa was about to respond but something in her translation collar was messed up. It made a soft whirring sound then it was silent. She let out a frustrated yelp that was half way between a roar and a purr. Her fur raised on end as something passed through Singularity, maybe an electrical surge. Rosa tried to get a look behind her but when she tried to crane her neck around she momentarily lost balance and she had to look forward again.


The crash of a bomb going off filled her ears but something was wrong, the sound of the bomb was mingled with something similar to the sound of a laser gun firing. Then nothing...shouldn't a fireball or debris or something be flying at them right now. Someone had stopped the bomb but how?
 
As Sheena pulls onto the building's street, way late for the battle, her eyes widen as she takes in the remnants of the building, smoke still spewing out into the sky, and the medical response team arriving, beginning to make their way towards it briskly. As she hastily pulls over into the first parking space she sees, she scrambles out of her car, already heading towards the building even as she turns on the transmitter around her wrist, speaking into it. "Oracle, what the hell is going on? Where am I needed?"
 
"Your needed inside that building your in front of. In the basement there's an elevator. Its open and you'll need you repel down. at the bottom there's a room full of crates. On the other side of that room there's a vault, inside the vault is were you're needed," Oracle said. Meanwhile Troy untied the knocked out Joker and put his golden lasso on the hook at his belt. He the put it around Two-Face's hands and carried him over to Jacob. "Reaper, I've got him. We can interrogate him now or later," Troy said.
 
Nodding stiffly, her face set, chin lifted, Sheena made her way into the front of the building, ignoring the rubble around her as she almost sprinted past the blackened front doors. Finding the entrance to the basement, which is now more like a black hole, she descends its stairs, finding the elevator Oracle mentioned, and fumbled with the equipment in her small knapsack, taking out the rope, hook, and harness she would need to rapel down it. Falling down into the near blackness and landing with a thud that jolted through her, she unhooked herself quickly and ran across teh room, opening the door to the vault as described.
 
Jacob slowed down since the blast didnt reach the group, and landed on both feet, avoiding a rough landing on Rosa. He kept Singularity in his grip. He didnt want to know how much pain he'd be in if he tried to sit down on the floor and back up again.


Hearing Wonderboy, he looked up and down the hallway. They've been here before but unsure how long it would take to get to the outside.


"We'll get some info out of him when we know we're safe. For now lets get outside, have a breather and contact the Justice League. Hell, might as well give the Avengers a call if that was Red Skull we just saw." He put his index finger to his ear, only to find his earpiece was broken. Shit. "My comm's bust. Can someone contact Oracle and get to give us a status report on the situation? And see if she can find out what was stolen. That many villains for one building? I dont need to say what that means."
 
Batgirl made sure everyone was out before making the hasty escape herself. She ran after the group. As she pulled a grappling hook to rocket up and catch up with the group, she got a weird feeling, the back of her neck. She looked back and saw the slight glowing outline of a figure. The hook engaged and she shot forward. Seconds later there was a blast smaller than expected. Batgirl looked back and realized the bomb had been neutralized. She caught up with the others, hearing Fallen's question she nodded. "Oracle, status report, what's going on outside?" "SWAT team has the place surounded, all threats have been neutralized. Everything's under control, the building has been evacuated. Batman told me he needs to talk to you when you surface." "We have Two-Face in custody. By the way, contact the Avengers, Red Skull made an appearance and Doc Oct is dead, thanks Oracle," Batgirl turned back to the team, "Is everyone alright?"
 
"I'm ok, but Singularity need medical attention." Jacob said while keeping him up. "By the way, can you ask Oracle what was taken from the vaults? We need to know what we lost and how they want to use it."


He looked at Singularity. From Jacobs point of view, him looking in agony was a major understatement. "How you holding up?"
 
"I'm fine Two-Face here isn't," Troy said Batgirl. Then he continued,"Do you mind if I borrow a pair of your handcuffs? I don't want him tied to my lasso anymore."
 
Rosa nodded her head in response something had zapped both her translator and the device that recreated her suit everytime she shifted into her human form. She sat down beside Fallen curling his tail around his tail then unfurling it again, she looked up at him sighing heavily. The sooner she could get back to her car the better but she had feeling people wouldn't take to kindly to a huge panther sauntering down the street. She had a few bruises and a gash on her shoulder where the Ape had thrown her into the wall but nothing to bad.
 
*catching up with the others in the vault, then following them out as they exited, still entirely confused as to what was going on, Sheena went to Singularity, somewhat stunned by the extent of his injuries* Shit, do you need help?
 
Batgirl tossed Wonderboy a plastic tie. She looked at Fallen, "Are you okay to fly Singularity up the shaft? I imagine that before would have put emense pressure on your wings,"
 
The concussive beam that fired from Flare’s palm had put a damper on the explosion that had forced the group to run. As they realized this, they slowed down and regrouped in the hallway, wondering exactly what was stolen. Mack smiled from under her mask, slowly approaching the group as they communicated via com to an outside source. Batgirl finally turned to the group afterwards, asking if anyone had been hurt in the battle, ‘Singularity’ being the only confirmation.


The hero didn’t even seem to notice her as she finally made her way into the group; although she was indeed very hidden by the bulk of the group. The woman in the cowl still hadn’t answered the guy’s question, and Mack sighed


“They didn’t steal anything…” she muttered under her breath, more-or-less speaking to herself.


Mack’s current mood was slightly uplifted by a small burst of energy and she realized energy was already returning to its respective owners.
 
Batgirl looked at the newcomer, "Yes, help would be much appreciated. What are your abilities?"


--- Merged Double Post ---





>>BTW, time to lay down some more Rules.<<
 
"I'll be ok. I've carried heavier. I'll see you all up top." He said while heading to the shaft. stepping into the the shaft he spread his wings and flapped till a gust of wind roared through the area, and both of them flew up. Once they reached the top, they were a few minutes from the main entrance.


"Is it just me? or does Rosa have a crush on me? I'm not good with social skills here." he said while keeping Singularity blalanced. "Speaking of social, i said i'd get you a pizza if we got out alive."
