Log:The Devil You Know, Scene 2

The Devil You Know 2012/06/17 	 Chen Eve Longbow Snow 2

Reports come in over police band and other official channels of an armored car heist, turned into a rolling super hero fight.

Chen overhears the transmission as she skates past a patrol car and makes for the location at her best speed.

When the heroes arrive, the scene appears to be a fight between a seven foot tall man made of metal. His clothing has been reduced to scraps by the fight that's going on between him an a couple of heroes. Eve is the only one still standing at point. By the trail of the wreckage, the fight has covered a few blocks so far.

Eve is still doing what she does best - getting between the metal man and whoever he throws things at. She's ready to spring in any direction required.

The Metal Man looks over at the additional heroes as they arrive. He smiles and pounds his fist into his palm.

A crow caws as it flaps its wings and lands on a nearby lamppost.

Chen arrives and takes in the situation. She calls out to Total Babe, "Strong, tough, dumb?" and moves in to combat range for her, extending a foot in a sweeping movement at the metal villian's legs.

Eve says, "Strong, tough, csn't be talked out of stealing, anyway...."

Chen's foot glances off the Metal Man's side. He doesn't budge. He calls over to Eve. "Why shouldn't I take what I want? I'm unstoppable!"

Chen says, "Dense too. Too heavy to move."

Eve says, "So says the demon, huh? Well, if you can believe him then I'm physically perfect, so you'll find I don't go down easily either."

"Can't say the demon doesn't do bad work," the Metal Man says with a bit of an unsavory sneer. "Let's see how good..." He turns slowly and picks up a nearby automobile with his right hand. She looks down at Chen and says, "Get out of my way!" He tries to his Chen with a backhand swipe.

Coming onto the scene is LONGBOW! He's not the most mobile character, but he is showing up! Atleast he doesn't need to be too close tob egin engaging the enemy. :D

Eve, having an opening now Chen is here, closes to melee range and gives the villain a whack with her three-section staff, as hard as she can.

A whirling flash of a purple/black sphere appears, and then fades to reveal Flyne, in its natural alien state. The little alien looks to the Metal Man, and glares at him.

Eve's staff connects with the Metal Guy solidly with a clang. He smiles and says, "Looks like 'perfect' aint good enough here."

(reposed) Eve's staff connects with the Metal Guy solidly with a clang. He smiles and says, "Looks like 'perfect' aint good enough here."

Longbow takes aim from this great distance between him and the man of metal. He thinks. o 0 (Wonder if he can take heat?) He knocks back an arrow which launches across the field of combat to strike at the foe of steel.

Snow has gotten herself up on top of one of the buildings looking down on the scene, trying to think of what else would work.

Chen changes tactics and simply goes for punching the metal guy.

Longbow's fire arrow engulfs the Metal Guy in flames for a moment. He looks up in Longbow's direction. "Great. Bring it. The more, the merrier!"

Hitting the Metal Guy is like punching steel I-beam.

Snow creates a slide and gets a bit closer but staying a ways off the ground. She gestures towards the metal man, frost and snow forming around her hand and into an icicle that she hurls at him, hoping to get through that hard shell maybe.

The Metal Guy grunts as he raises his arm to protect himself from the storm of sharp icicles.

The Metal Guy flings the car that he's been holding towards Snow.

Snow eeps as the car is thrown at her which does make a funny sound and the dives out of the way, an ice slide forming under her to keep her from falling as she continues to hover.

Longbow hmmms. Tried adn true it is. He launches an explosive charge next to the man in metal. Wonder how well his eyes and ears are protected... Well, Longbow's about to find out >:D

"Grah!" The Metal Guy says. He covers his face in his hands as he tries to clear them. "This won't stop me for long -- all you've done is slow me down.

Chen punches again, figuring it all helps to slowly wear the metal guy down.

Longbow moves forward to a distance of 31m. "Chen, now is the time to strike, let's combine our efforts." He nocks an arrow firing it to land at the same time as Chen's attack. He doesn't seem comfortable calling out like that but he needs to be sure she hears him from such a great distance.

Chen calls back, "Np point, Longbow. He's too tough for that tactic to work. I'm hardly affecting him. I'd suggest just keep shooting him. Sooner or later he'll drop."

Chen suits actions to words and punches again.

"That's better..." the Metal Guy says as Chen's fist thunks into his side. "Still not good enough."

Chen grins, "You're tough. I'll give you that. But not tough enough to keep on taking that from all of us.

"Unff." The Metal Guy seems to feel the impact of Longbow's arrow.

Snow grumbles a bit but at least the icicle seemed to do something so she continues to try and another icicle forms. She focuses hard and then hurls the icicle at the metal man trying to put more than normal into it.

Icicles shower down and shatter against the Metal Guy's iron clad skin. He covers up under the shower of ice.

Longbow sighs, spiking an arrow at his feet, He focuses his essence into the bow and grabs the arrow which seems to have gotten longer as his bow grew bigger, he aims it at the large man, pulling back as much as he can.

Chen stays with her punch routine, firing another clenched fist at the metal guy's face.

Chen waves her hand in the air as her knuckles feel the impact.

Thunk. The Metal Guy lurches to one side as Chen cracks him across the jaw.

Snow gets a different idea and slides through the air till she is above the metal man, still keeping about 10m between them. She takes a deep breath and the frost starts to form on front of her. Snow joins the frost and starts to form into a ball till it hardens into a beach ball sized snowball and she hurls it straight down at the metal man.

The super snow ball slams down into Metal Guy. The force of the ball smacks him down to the ground.

The Metal Guy gets up an dust the remnants of the snow ball from his face and shoulders. Still blind, he swats at Chen, hoping for a lucky shot.

Chen is caught and thrown back, smashing into the building across the street and cracking the wall. She shakes her head, "Not good enough, tough guy. I'm still here."

Longbow's arrow connects solidly. And as the Metal Man collapse to the ground, he say, "I was... supposed to be.... unstoppable..."

The crow caws and flies off.

Longbow scoffs. "And I was supposed to have a larger pay check last week."

Snow lets out a sigh as the man collapses, breathing just a little easier

"Caaaww!" The crow dips in its flight a little, but it continues to flee, increasing its distance to 40m.

Longbow moves forward 9m and fires a different arrow. "Fly true." He whispers. "And show me my path."

Chen says, "Any reason you're shooting at a crow, Longbow?"

Snow slides down to the ground and looks around at the others.

Longbow replies. "It's similar in it's magical properties to that of Eve and the man of metal. That and crows canb e familairs and many things metamorph as a defense."

Chen looks over at Snow, "Hi. I'm Chen. Chen Li. You've got some pretty cool powers."

"Caw!" Longbow's arrow strikes true. The crow drops down, disappearing from line of sight past the line of rooftops separating this block from the next.

Snow smiles, "Snow." she says softly, "Thanks." she frowns a little and looks towards the Metal man, "going to take a bit for them to contain him." She thinks for a moment, "should have tried the bigger snowball first."

Chen grins, "You did just fine. He was tough but no match for us as a group. Anyways, I need to get back to work. Hopefully I'll see you around. LB, good to see you again. Take care all."

Longbow nods to Chen. "Take care." He says looking at snow, his eyes glow searching for magic on her.

Snow doesn't seem to have any magic of any kind as she waits for the authorities, watching the Metal Man closely.

Longbow slinks off not like auhtorities as in cops.

Snow waves to Longbow and just continues to wait.

Longbow here and I'm going track down that crow with the tracer on it. The tracer leaves a trail and as such my magic sight will be able to find it again! SKILLS!
