Blackbody grabs Blok, and the two titans are locked in a wrestling match...

Runaway, the woman with long red hair that Magda appeared behind, dashes past her at high speed and then returns, trying to strike her.

A young man appears out of nowhere near the downed guards anticlockwise from Magda. Seeing her - and no other heroes - he goes to snap his fingers - but somehow finds he's afraid to!

Scorpionman turns himself right way up and lashes out at a nearby target with his stinger - namely, Engelicus.

A split second decision is required. But Judith has the instincts of a defender. She knows that she is tough, and so she strides forward just as the stinger shoots forward... the blade slicing into her shirt, through the costume beneath it.. and impacting upon her stomach with zero effect. "I gotcha." she says over her shoulder to Engelicus.

The stinger doesn't break through Judith's skin, and so the venom just spills harmessly.

Razor shoots one of his scales at Golden Girl past the wrestling bricks.

Hertz, a lanky redhead, aim his vibrational blast at Sentinel who was stopped near him...

Golden Girl was already reeling and stunned by a mental blast. Unable to avoid Razor's scale she's thrown back by the impack and collides with a wall.

The blast barely misses Sentinel.

Cheese does not attack - rather, she stretches her cheesy body out into a thin string to wind her way past everyone and into the stairwell...

Ohm stays on the defensive, at the front of the anticlockwise villains.

Chalk, surrounded by a force field as white as he is, flies over the heads of villains and heroes alike, also to reach the stairwell.

Candela points her finger at Sentinel to unleash a laser...

The laser misses wildly. which may be a good thing: it looks quite powerful.

The Ghoul springs at Dialydd, who is more exposed now Linda has been blasted backwards!

The Thinker - remains in his cell, thinking.

Ghoul's teeth and claws fail to find any way through the golden-seilver haze around the tall alien youth. He does say, "Run and I won't destroy you, demon," as his appearance changes to the Dreamer.

The swirling of sparks, like a galaxy in miniature, flies to the entrance to the stairwell, spreading itself out, getting in the eyes of the heroes...

"They're going to make a push for the door- hold the line!" Griffin shouts- coming up with a plan.

He speaks over the same channel they were using for comms:

<>

Golden Girl is vaguely aware of a sudden burst of light but is too currently unfocused to take nuch notice of it.

Runaway take another run up and into Magda!

Snap stares at his fingers, then snaps them again and vanishes from sight!

A glowing, square-jawed man comes round the corner to about where Snap was, sees Grimm under attack by Runaway - and blasts at the speedster!

Runaway is knocked off her feet and into a wall, but isn't stunned.

Engelicus can't see to target with his ranged attacks, so he reaches out to take a swing at the scorpion guy who attacked him.

Scorpionman, alas, is too quick...

Golden Girl finally clears her head waving goodbye to the little birdies flying around and around her head.

Echoing down the corridor, a woman's scream cuts even over the noise of battle.

Magda calls out, "All heroes withdraw, seal exits, recover survivors already identified."

Reactor seeing that a female of some kind with stretching powers is making her way up the stairs Reactor moves to intercept by lining her up with any other vil he can see before reaching down deep into his core and drawing up even more power than he typicaly held before straing he looks at the woman "Y ou will go no further. " As he unleashes this built up power at Cheese.

A smell of burnt cheese fills the air as the villain of the same name is half-melted and splashed over her partner in crime - or rather over his force field, which she splatters off.

Amp lays his hand on Watt's shoulder, and Watt crackles with power!

Watt grins at the boost from his companion, regains his feet and tries to blast Sentinel once more!

Grimm can't see, but she can still sense what's going on once she comes back to her senses. "We don't have to worry about Green Ghost for the moment. But we may have other problems. I think we're about to have an angel versus angel fight in a bit. Sword of Justice just got let out," she says as she holds her head. She then gets a quizzical expression as some additional senses. Her head turns in Engelicus' direction curiously.

Griffin grits his teeth as electricit surges all over him. He's hit with such force that even his mighty absorption cannot contain it all and he's knocked back into the wall behind him. He drops to the floor, flatfooted, more of his suit scortched but he seems pretty well off for having just taken a blast like that.

Dialydd notices just in time the soul of the tiny person expanding quickly up toward his jaw!

"I don't think you hit me with that one." Griffin says to Watt. Trying to keep his attention.

Sentinel shifts tactics with half of his team down. He flashsteps for the door- vanishing from where he was knocked into the wall to instantly in front of his blinded cohorts. His eyes cut toward the sound of a woman screaming down the corridor. "Agreed." He says to Magda's statement. They've got to get this mission back on its feet and quickly.

He puts his hands up defensively as waves of heat begin roiling off of him. He starts working out how he's going to help Magda while protecting his other allies.

<&lt;I'll hold the door for as long as I can, but we can't let them hurt anyone else.>> He says fearlessly- hoping that even blinded they can deal with the scorpion man & that the others are more interested in running- and thus can be corraled since the Govenor has control of the doors behind them.

With a deep breath, he closes the door behind him to help make things more difficult for the villains he's just locked himself in the room with.

The Dreamer takes a powerful uppercut to the jaw as a woman expands into human size under the fist that hits him; the force of the blow slams him into the ceiling and the subsequent fall to the floor knocks him out. The golden-silver haze around his body fades away.

Luckily the villains thought Sentinel was retreating, and weren't expecting him to close the door!

Griffin can move pretty quickly when he wants to- but was expecting for them to think he was retreating. Instead he shoves Dialydd through the open door before he can ragdoll to the ground (thanks to the lower gravity) and then spins and slams his fist into the emergency door close button.

"Guess we're all having a hell of a day, huh, guy?" He says, turning back to the literal horde of villainy before him.

Kelvin grins as Griffin raises the heat - and lowers it again to a nice comfortable temperature.

Pivot shakes his right hand from left to right, while twisting his left so Magda's head is always facing forward as she slams between two walls...

Magda flops as she's banged about into unconsciousness.

Dialydd lays on the floor and moans softly as darker than human blood oozes from his neck wound.

Unseen to most, Sword of Justice beheads Green Ghost.

The alien youth lying on the floor mutters in Rhaya, the language of his people, "Someday I'll learn to dodge..."

Grimm suddenly swears with a "Holy shick!" She takes a few breaths, still unable to see. "Sword of Justice, it...it...just cut Green Ghost's head off. How did it get its sword?"

If Scorpionman had any sense, he'd flee up the stairs. He doesn't. He just tries to stick his tail into someone else - Grimm, this time.

Scorpionman's stinger punches through her costume, and is stopped dead by her skin.

Razor, having no better target, shoots one of his razor-sharp scales at Sentinel.

Golden Girl looks at the rip in her costume and the icky poison staining it. "Mum's going to kill me." she mutters to herself.

Griffin knows when he's beat and drops the heatwave in favor of a shell of electromagnetic energy.

The projectile hits the barrier and ricochets away from the Super Soldier.

Cheese slurps herself back together again after being splattered over Chalk. She does't seem much worse the wear for having being melted. She grins at Reactor, "Ok, you asked for it!" and stretches a cheesy arm up the stairs to punch him!

Reactor stands on the top of the stairway when he spots cheese pulling herself back together and launch out an attack and he grins under his mask, "Bad move.. Girlie... " As he shocked at how hard the woman does hit, but his radiation shielding flares too, even as he's propelled back into the wall behind him, causing his shield to flare yet again from the impact. Leaving him shaken, but not stirred as he glares back down at the obviously flexible lady.

Chalk grabs his partner cheese and flies up the stairs toward Reactor, raising a chalk-white force field behind him.

Candela tries to pierce Sentinels barrier.

Still shaking her head as she attempts to clear her vision, Judith mutters, "Can someone point me in the direction of the bad guys at least?"

Dialydd shouts out from where he lies at the base of the stairs. "Insect at (something) o'clock above and the galaxy at (something) o'clock in front!"

The laser cuts clean through the electromagnetic shell, but without much power left.

Ghoul takes advantage of the collapse of the Barrier and pounces through at Sentinel, all teeth and claws.

He misses Sentinel by a hair's breadth.

Galaxy starts up the stairs and hits the force field. Then tries again. Then stops and swarms over it.

Runaway gets up and runs away from Quintessence - not without trying to hit him on the way past!

The passing blow doesn't even budge Quintessence.

Quinessence moves up next to Magda and throws a wave of cosmic energy at the nearby villains.

Engelicus can't quite see, but he can hear reasonably well. He reaches out..and tries to create a cage from soulfire around Galaxy. Not that he can see his target, but it's worth a shot.

Reactor moves from the wall where he'd been knocked against to spot Chalk flying up with Cheese in tow and shakes his head. " Oh hell no, stay where you belong. " as he tries blasting both of them back down to the lower level

Chalk has his personal force field up high since he wasn't trying to attack, so it's not clear if that hurt him at all. But he and Cheese shoot like a pinball down the stairs and crash into his own force wall.

Over communications channels Sentinel speaks with a soft mechanical timbre that still conveys some of Griffin Freeman's verbal nuances.

Tesla tries to lift Sentinel up magnetically by his boots and slam him agains the wall.

Pandora finally has the space to move into line of sight! The Mediterranean-looking woman extends her hand toward Sentinel, forefinger and little finger extended.

Whatever that was, it misses Sentinel, but hits the lighted wall panel behind him. The light starts flickering annoyingly.

Grimm finally rocks up to her feet quickly as she gets her head on straight again. Her dark protective energy field blooms around her again. "Thanks for the save," she says to Golden Girl as she sweeps a hand out toward ScorpianMan. She may be blind, but she can See. In a sense.

Golden Girl nods as Grimm speaks. "Glad to help out." she says sincerely.

The dark energy seeps into ScorpionMan, causing him to suddenly go limp and lose consciousness. He doesn't cry out in pain or anything. Maybe he's out too fast to do that.

Watt gets to his feet, but can't do much else, being in the middle of a pile of people left by Quintessence's attack.

Minima shrinks again.

Shrinkwrap also has to recover her feet, but from there can attack Quintessence.

Quintessence is wrapped up in cling film!

Sentinel shifts tactics- hoping to keep his enemies off guard. He can't do that with Ghoul breathing down his neck- so to that end, Griffin twists backwards, pivoting off his right hand to perform something veryy similar to a capoeira Meia lua de Costas (halfmoon from the back)- attempting to drive his opponent into the wall behind them. Then he can get on to giving Q some backup.

Griffin is quick, but it seems Ghoul is just a bit faster than he seems. The Super SOldier won't risk his defense for a quick and dirty strike under these circumstances.

Kelvin takes a crack at freezing Griffin.

But he misses.

Pivot's toy seems to have passed out. But Quintessence looks more of a threat - surely he won't stay wrapped up for long. So Pivot drops Magda and picks up Quintessence, ready to bash him the instant he breaks free!

Dialydd gets slowly to his feet as he asks, "Is the galaxy creature an actual threat or can we let it go?" While he speaks, in his mind he calls upon his Gifts and 'dream, sleep, rest' rises in a chorus of ethereal voices in the mind of Scorpionman.

The alien youth puts a hand out to steady himself against a wall.

And ScorpionMan sleeps.
