Log:Lightning Tag Scene 1, Scene 1

Lightning Tag Scene 1 2012/11/10 	 Chyoode Jennifer Jessica 1

The Coliseum was always impressively large, but the renovated stadium is breathtaking. It stretches in a vast oval, with the narrow ends climbing to a greater height, giving the impression of a great ship; from this "bow" and "stern" lights shine down upon the arena. Large screens relay any action too remote to see directly.

Jennifer and Jessica are looking forward to the game. They're employed their Holographic disguise belts to change their appearence sufficiently taht they shouldn't be recognised, wanting some 'time off' from the attention they might receive if they were noticed. Jennifer and Jessica are wearing team jersys and are munching on hot-dogs and drinking sodas.

Chyoode is in the crowd, and excited to be here! She hasn't seen a football game live before. "This is the kind of football where you don't use your feet, right?" she asks the person next to her.

Jessica nods, "Only for kick-off and punting. And field goals of course. Hi, your first game?"

Lazarus is here as well. He's not usually once for football but he's following up on an overheard conversation when he was tending bar at Hacker's Rage, so this is work. Unfortunately it also seems to be a dead end, but then that's the end result of a lot of investigations.

Chyoode says, "Yeah, I've only been on Earth since the school year started! All the different sorts of games here are confusing."

Chyoode says, "I'm Chyoode 0067/0189635435011!"

Jessica nods again, "You'll love football. Oh, I'm Jessica. This," she indictes Jennifer, "is my sister Jennifer."

Chyoode says, "Hi!", waving to Jennifer too.

Jennifer leans across, "That's quite a mouthfull. Do you have a nickname?"

Chyoode says, "Well, most people just call me Chyoode, or Chyoode Eleven if there's another Chyoode about. I find a lot of people on Earth call me Cho."

The game is just getting started, teams are setting up on both sides of the field, the cheerleaders are doing a little routine to get people riled up for the home team, which doesn't take much, it seems the average american college football fan is only surpassed by the average australian rugby fan for sheer vinegar and vitriol.

Just when the coin gets flipped and it's decided who gets first kick off and who gets first possession those whom are still getting drinks, or something to eat on the concourse are interrupted by what appears to be a bolt of lightning zipping behind the counters and popping open the registrars with a shock to steal all the money. Then it zips off to the next one, if it had time to pick up speed it'd likely be generating sonic booms in there!

Meanwhile on the away side of the Coliseum instead of a living lightning bolt there's the roar of an /extremely/ high-tech motorcycle, the rider is female in form but the helmet is dark and completely covering the face. It is more a traditional stick up over there, a large bore energy pistol with a cable plugging into the motorcycle's main chassis is shoved in people's faces to grab money from the register, but also to steal wallets to make up for lost time!

It doesn't take long for the police to hear about it, two super powered villains, even if they're doing small crime honestly, is more than the onsite security and police presence can handle and the call goes out!

Chyoode is still asking Jessica how the cheerleaders relate to the game when all this happens. "Oh, and who are these people?"

Jennifer and Jessica cheer loudly as the coin is tossed. "That's the umpire in the striped shirt. He settles rules conflicts. The guys with all the padding on are the players."

Chyoode giggles a bit at the boxy look of the players.

Jessica grins, "The cheerleaders are so the males in the crowd have something to look at when the play stops." she says cynically.

Toby is elsewhere in the city, with Jolt when the call goes out. Now, both of them are racing toward the scene via megaflight.

Perhaps this isn't quite the dead end that Lazarus first thought it would be. What he thought was a couple of guys talking about knocking over the register at the game must have been them talking about someone else knocking over the registers. Or perhaps it is simply a coincidence that these supercriminals choose now to commit their crime. Either way he quickly ducks into a darkened hallway for a quick change.

Toby and Jolt arrive not much later, with both surrounded by Toby's green light (as is obvious from the fact there are several lines of green light from Toby to Jolt).

Responding to a call for help from the police and security is Utility, sprinting across the campus and leaping across buildings until she reaches the entrance of the coliseum. Entering into the concourse, she looks around and says, "So... Motorcycle, or speedster." before the air around her shimmers, as she starts to blend into the area around her and starts sneaking up towards the girl on the motorcycle before she holds out her hand in a, 'Claw' position as it fills with energy before she says, "Don't move. I'll give you one chance. Come quietly, and this won't have to turn into a fight."

Jolt is there with Toby when they get on the scene and just shakes her head. She knows how this will play out... or at least how it'll play out over 95% of the time. Not hard to figure it out when you've been doing the hero thing as long as Jolt has.

The green light running from Toby to Jolt disappears as Jolt is lowered to the ground, and so does the green light surrounding Jolt.

Okami emerges from the hallway, having stored his clothing and bag and begins to make his way toward the flashing lightning, having been on the homeside of the field.

Chyoode says, "What are the lines on the ground for?"

Jessica says, "The outside lines are the extent of the playing area. The lines crossing the width are ten yard markers, so the players can see how far they need to move the ball."

Jessica nods, "Yes. Each team has three plays, that's three chances, to move the ball a total of ten yards towards the other teams end zone. If they succeed they get another three plays. If they fail the ball has to be punted and the other team gets it."

Chyoode says, "Oh! And what does punted mean?"

The high-tech motorcycle riding armor wearing woman looks at Utility and she laughs, "Game on!" She shouts and in a flash she points her pistol at Utility, firing a shot before the other woman can even pull the trigger on her own internal firing mechanisms! Armor girl has a mean quickdraw!

Casey is at the game with a handful of friends, dressed in CBSU colors, with CB painted on one cheek and SU on the other. She cheers on on the action.

Jessica says, "Punting is when the kicker comes on the field and kicks the ball as far as can towards the other end of the field."

The explosive impact of the kinetic slug that slams into Utility echoes and reverberates from the whole side of the 'Guests' concourse of the stadium as Utility gets flung into an inside wall 10 meters behind her at speed by the impact. People were starting to scream before, now they're really starting to scream as people pour into the stands to escape the now ensuing fight. Unfortunately it's both sides of the concourse now, though the Guest side is worse than the Home side as the lightning boy hasn't started attacking anyone yet.

Jessica grins, "You'll see it fairly soon. Our team is always a bit slow getting settled in at the start. The quarterback has to get his arm loose before he starts making his throws."

Chyoode says, "Get it loose from what?"

Jennifer snaps her head around. "Gunfire. Large caliber energy weapon. Cho, got to leave you I'm afraid. And it's a distance away. Going to take time crossing with the crowd in uproar."

Chyoode says, "Oh, that funny sound's not supposed to happen?"

Jessica says, "No. That was gunfire. Something is wrong."

Lightning guy stops going for a new vendor when he hears the shot, "Oooh caps. Damnit she drew first blood, that's fifty points!" He starts looking around for any other heroes who might be creeping on his position.

Jennifer and Jessica drop their disguise holograms and stand, looking doubtfully at the crowd and considering the distance they need to travel.

With Lightning Guy stopping Okami moves forward, settling for a strong right cross to see what effect it has on him.

Jennifer comes to a decision. Jessica races along the gangways towards the near concourse. Jennifer takes a moment to try and plot her best route towards the far concourse. Both activate their force armor and draw weapons. Colee whips and thruster rods.

Chyoode says, "I'll help stop the person with the gun!"

Lightning guy reacts to the incoming punch by throwing a ball of lightning at Okami! The Ball lightning explodes when it hits the ground, lightning bursting out in all directions. Little is done to Okami most likely, but civilians are flung around and some fall to the ground stunned.

Chyoode says, "Oh - you want me to take you to where the gunshot was?"

Jennifer looks at Chyoode, "You can? It might be dangerous but if you're willing I'd much appreciate a lift, Cho."

Chyoode says, "Oh that's ok, I'm super-tough!"

Jennifer laughs, "Great. I'll hide behind you then."

Toby shakes her head at the lightning villain, "Zapping...not good for me" She mutters, continuing her flight, and heading over to where the gun person is. Her body is still brightly glowing with green light surrounding it.

Jolt focuses her attention on the guy with Lightning and smirks a bit "Sorry but Lightning is my thing. Lets see how much of this you can handle" and with that the normal sparking that occurs around her goes from yellow to blue as she generates sparks and arcing as she unleashes lightning bolts from her hand

The lightning smashes into the boy, who is made of lightning, and it arcs all over him causing him to laugh, "Oooh tickles..." He smirks at Jolt, "C'mon sister, I'm /made/ of lightning!"

Utility flies back into the wall and hits it with a, 'Thud' and leaves a crack in the cement where she struck before landing crouching, though still clutching the ball of plasma as it seems to grow larger, threatening to escape the energy shielding in her hand as she says, "Fine. You want to play nasty? Just remember, you brought this on yourself!" as she fires off the bolt of plasma at a fairly high speed before vents on her shoulders open up and release some sort of gas, apparently cooling her down after a rather powerful strike.

The Motorcycle keeps the girl from flying backwards but her armor is clearly smoking and burnt a bit where the plasma hit. She grins, "Good good. Means I can go all out if you took that hit."

Chyoode picks up Jennifer and leaps for the far concourse. Of course, she hasn't yet had much practice with aim with her super-jumps.

Chyoode is rather suprised to have landed roughly where she aimed. She must be getting better!

The Girl on the motorcycle thumbs a button on the bike and the motorcycle shifts, unfolding and wrapping around the girl until it encases her torso, shoulders, arms and legs in heavy duty power armor! One hand flips around and spins, "C'mon then."

Jennifer says, "Thanks, Cho. That was quite a ride."

Casey jumps out of her seat. "Guys, let's get out of here! Meet up with you back in the parking lot!" she says to her friends. She makes a dash, trying to navigate the Home side of the stands before things become too chaotic. She'll try to make it to a stairway tunnel, vaulting the rail and disappearing out of sight.

Chyoode says, "Oh, I can jump much farther than that!"

Jennifer says, "Hang on, Cho."

Jennifer keeps a arm wrapped around Chyoode and runs 18m of the remaining 20m to get onto the scene. Taking Chyoode at her word, Jennifer keeps Chyoode in front of her as she runs.

Okami resumes his original plan, closing on the human spark plug and lashing out with a right cross.

Lightning Boy takes the shot and he winces, "Ow!" rubbing his jaw and then he bolts back away from Okami before spinning on a dime and zipping right past Okami again this time he reaches out to try and tag Okami with a fist on his way by! He dodges running people to stop some 30m away from Okami, "Can't hurt what you can't catch Sucka!" Jolt it seems, doesn't interest him since her bolts don't seem to phase him! Could be a mistake, that.

Okami moves out of the way as Lightning Boy comes flying at him. "Can't hurt what you can't hit, kid," he replies as he goes flying by.

Jessica continues on her way towards the home concourse, making progress but with some distance to go yet.

Jennifer calls over to the Motorcycle girl, "You could just surrender. That way you don't get swatted and I can go watch the rest of the game." She waits for an answer, whether verbal or another reaction from the villainess.

Toby comes to a stop, and the light surrounding her dims to a regular green color. She flies down, and lands on the ground.

Jolt follows the guy getting a bit closer

Jennifer remembers to let Chyoode slip from her grasp.

"So heavy armor..." Utility says before she balls her fists, then opens them slightly as the glow of plasma leaks through her fingers, as tendrils of plasma start to leak through her fingers not unlike a certain feral superhero's claws. Rushing towards the power armored woman, she makes a spinning strike at the torso, before stabbing into the shoulder with the other claw as she says, "I'm more comfortable with an internal design. Not that I had a choice mind you, but it's worked out well for me."

Jennifer mutters, "So much for giving her a chance to surrender, I guess."

All three strikes hit the armored woman and she goes staggering backwards under the onslaught, a forcefield flaring into existence with each strike pushing against the plasma claws but perhaps not as effectually as she'd have liked as she yells in pain before crashing to the ground!

Chyoode dashes over to the armoured woman and attempts to restrain her. "You going to give up now?"

"Like hell!" The Armored woman shouts and rapidly keys her armor to overcharge, pushing the myomer musculature to it's limits as she tries to break free!

Jennifer stays where she is but her energy whip lashes forwards to wrap around the armored woman, helping to hold her and squeezing if Jennifer manages to get a grip.

The force field flares against the whip, armor strains under even that as it constricts and inside the suit, the villainess starts to worry. (Ummm. Help. I can't get free... I need you now, you can totally have my points... I just can't get caught.)

And on the other side of the stadium the Lightning Boy smacks a lightning hand into his lightning forehead with a spark of electricity flying outwards. (Really? Weak. Fine. I'll be right there.) And then ZOOM lightning boy takes off... maybe.

Jolt sees the opporunity that she's been waiting for... As soon as Lightning Boy turns to run she makes a fist with her hand and reaches out with magnetic force and drags something... anything like maybe an entire hotdog cart in his path to trip him up

And the hotdog cart is easily avoided by the nimble lightning lad and as he rushes off there is a sonic BOOM in the concourse!

Casey ducks behind a support column and uses the relative seclusion to activate her costume. Inky black liquid flows over her skin and condenses into the material of her Star costume. She hops from the tunnel, back to the stands to get a sense of what's going on.

Jennifer says, "Heads up. Guy made of lightning is headed this way. Be here in a second or two at the speed he's travelling."

Jennifer continues squeezing since it's clear the armor suited woman can take it.

Jessica continues heading to the home concourse. Lightning boy might not be the only villain who was there.

The Force Field flares against the whip, and it's not certain if the armored woman even feels it this time!

As Lightning Rod takes off Okami moves to Jolt. "Going to need a lift," he says to her.

And Lightning Boy is still running, but he's closing the distance, quite quickly at 60m/second.

Jessica sees Jolt flying overhead and assumes there's no opposition left in the home concourse, "Any chance of a lift, Jolt?" she yells up at the flying heroine.

Toby takes note of Jolt/Okami, and lifts off into the air, with a green light field surrounding her, growing ever brighter.

Jolt winces a bit as she's touched, she knows that cant be good or feel good for whoever did it "Just get on the cart you two" she motions "I'll catch up, dont worry it's not like I've been able to do much to him anyways"

Okami grabs hold of Jolt, wincing at the current surrounding Jolt but he grits his teeth and holds on to her as she flies after Lightning Rod. It's not a pleasant ride as his flesh begins to burn, but he's had worse. (Let's hear it for +4 Resistance). At the suggestion for Jolt, however, he drops off and wrenches free one of the metal handles from the end of the cart. "No need to take the whole cart," he points out.

Utility looks at the armored woman and says, "Look. This is not going well." then holds out her hand as plasma starts to leak out of it and she makes a claw with her hand, holding it right in front of her chest as she says, "I can shoot you into the wall and have the cops peel you off, or you can surrender and we can finish this without any of the pain and effort. Plus who knows? You might be seen in a better light if you come willingly. So, what do you say? You're outmanned and outgunned anyway."

Chyoode keeps hold of the armoured person, and sneezes lightning at her at point blank range!

Jennifer glances at Utility, "She had a chance to surrender. Take her down before complicaions arrive is my advice."

He wasn't there, and then he was, Lightning Boy runs at lightning speed, well not quite, since lightning itself is frikken fast as light, almost literally. Still, he's fast, and he's especially fast as he pounds around the corner and tries to charge straight into Chyoode!

Chyoode takes the impact from the speedster with little more than a wince but Chyoode is knocked flying, still holding onto the armour.

Looking over at the armored girl, Utility shrugs and says, "Good point. She already refused twice, no point in asking again." before she releases the bolt into the girl's chest and says, "Cops peeling you off the wall it is."

Jolt takes a moment as she utilizes her powers over magnetic force and sends Okami and Jennifer over to the place as she maintains her focus and keeps pushing it away from her as best she can... Yeah this isnt exactly fast but it's faster than her own flying abilities

Okami hangs on to the shiny steel bar, being towed through the air like some sort of strange trapeze artist.

The plasma bolt slams into the armored figure again, the force field flaring up and the armor scorching again but the woman inside is still struggling!

Seeing Chyoode go sprawling but not letting go, and seeing how there's an energy whip wrapped around the armor, and Utility is still hammering away with plasma blasts Lightning frowns and makes a snap decision. He bolts away 30m and an arc of lightning snaps out from his hand over towards Utility and Co before it erupts in a brilliant flash of lightning, a loud thunderclap, and the charge disrupting radio signals!

Jennifer is deafened, which is just as well as her radio squeals loudly in her ear. But the goggles protect her sight.

Reaching up to shield her eyes with her arm as the thunderstrike hits, Utility lets out a shout of surprise that perhaps isn't quite audible over the loud thunderclap. She seems disoriented, attempting to look around on multiple frequencies but finds herself blinded and staggers about blindly as she tries to figure out who and what are where.

Toby's light field intensifies, and she goes ZOOMING over to Jolt, in a single bound.

Utility sniffs the air as the lightning strike hits and she staggers back, still blinded by the loud clap and flash of light. However, something stinks in the air. An odd smell that she's had explained to her before. "What you're smelling is ozone Ms. Clark, a byproduct of the ionization of air by electricity." Jacob Howard had said to her earlier. He'd been very helpful in explaining various concepts to her ever since he'd lead the project to cyborgize her after the accident and it seems as though this might just save her hide or at least make things easier. Venting plasma into one of her hands, she shoots off the energy bolt off towards where the scent is coming from with a grin on her face. Maybe this might just hit after all.

Chyoode does what she can: she squeezes Armour as hard as she can.

As Chyoode keeps trying to compress Armor's armor into herself the force field keeps pushing back and the woman is starting to get /really/ annoyed. Not that anyone can see her features at all behind her faceplate since it's fully polarized, especially due to the flash. "Oh sure, short out the encrypted line!" She shouts out at Lightning, mainly cuz she assumes everyone else is deaf and blind. Still she tries to break free of the holds grabbing her so tightly!

Armor breaks free of the aliens grip finally! She is however, still entangled by the energy whip!

Taking stock of the situation Lightning bolts past the group in another flash. As he passes by Jennifer he reaches out and tries to touch her, kiss with a fist, at 90mph ending up 30m from the group again.

Jennifer concentrates on holding Armor fully once again and this time puts a bit effort into squeezing her.

Armor groans under the pressure of that one but she's /still/ struggling!

Jennifer tells Armor, "The last time I did this it was to a T-Rex and that went out eventually. Just roll your eyes and pass out already." She can't even hear her own voice though.

Toby slows down, and creates a bunch of lines between herself and Jolt. "Hey, I can get you back over there." She smiles, looking to Jolt. All of these lines create a glowing light around Jolt, grabbing her.

Jolt peers at Toby and shrugs a bit "I cant do a whole lot against that other guy though" she admits "Why you think I'm not rushing" she laughs

Chyoode may have lost the grip on Armour bust still nows about where she is. So she coughs it that direction.

Chyoode has no notion who or what is caught in the pressure wave of the her cough. Which is not much.

Staying back where he is, for now, Lightning lifts both hands and from his palms three lightning strikes burst out in rapid fire fashion towards Jennifer!

Lightning knows Jennifer's probably feeling it now, since she just went flying into a wall even if that energy whip's still wrapped around Armor due to it's length. The speedster dashes in and then focuses before he fires a lightning ball into the ground that flashes and shocks like a super tazer in all directions for 8m!

Jennifer sees the ball forming and heading towards the ground near her. Releasing Armor she flings herself in a frantic dive across the concourse rolling along the floor.

Armor is finally free! And none to soon! She sighs, "About time. Can't believe you're going to get all my points..." She mutters angrily to herself and a grudging, "Thanks for the assist..." And then her armor changes, unfolding from armor to reform into the motorcycle and gun combo she had before though the gun is holstered at the moment. The motor on the motorcycle spins up, sounding like a jet turbine before she reaches out to grab hold of Lightning and toss him on the back of her bike and takes off driving down the concourse at breakneck speeds, "See yah losers!" She shouts with a laugh (Not that most can hear her) trying not to wince at all the bruises she's taken.

As soon as Okami touches down on the ground he sets off sprinting after Armor.

Chyoode, as soon as she can see again, charges on a collision course with Armour.

As the motorcycle girl and lightning speed off, Utility starts sprinting after them as she grits her teeth and calls out, "COME BACK HERE!" as bursts of plasma come out of her feet, making her steps almost like little jumps as she skims the surface of the ground, though not quite at the speed that either of the two villains are going at.

Okami continues to sprint after the fleeing pair at absolute top speed and performs leap at the last moment, flying fists first at Armor in an attempt to knock her over.

Lightning blinks, "Man they just don't know when to quit do they?" And he fires off a lightning bolt right into Okami as he's leaping at them!

Okami is singed by the lightning bolt but it is more Armor's speed that will save the fleeing duo.

Toby takes herself and Jolt, and zooms over to the motorcycle, trying to persue.

Toby's green shield appears before the lightning bolt, and the bolt hits the shield. But, it doesn't hold, it literally shattered on impact, hitting Toby herself. And upon this, the green spheres that surround her disappear. All of the light surrounds her, and Jolt, is released as a single flash of light. And with this, Toby falls...heading straight into the ground, leaving her clothing teared, and herself unconscious. Her green spheres return a few seconds later.

Jolt is being dragged along by Toby as she waits for the opportune moment. Then reaches out to lift the motorcycle off the ground and thus reducing it's traction to zero even as she's on her way to a reunion with the same surface.

Sprinting madly, Utility finally manages to come within shooting range of the motorcycle and says, "I'd ask you to pull over, but you wouldn't listen." before she holds out her hand and fires a bolt of plasma at Armor.

Armor feels the motorcycle start to slow and that initial jerk from being grabbed by the TK, with the lift coming she frowns and says, "Get out of here Lightning, I'll hold them off." And with that she thumbs a switch on the motorcycle again. Once more the motorcycle shifts into the massive armor around the woman and she immediately tries to break out of the Telekinetic grab!

Armor powers through the telekinetic grab and she rounds on Jolt, knowing she's the source of it. She leaps forwards at Jolt intending to smash her down!

Jolt gets hit as sparks fly quite literally she's struck solidly and gets flung across the way, crashing through a wall and stops moving... Yeah she's out of this fight now.

Chyoode manoevres till the two villains are in line with her and then coughs as hard as she can.

The super cough seems to have little effect on the villains other than Lightning going, "That is so gross! You totally better not hork a loogy on me!"

Watching the two heroes go down leaves the odds not quite so badly against the villains now and Lightning smiles, "Naw, we got this chica." And he bolts away, 30m away to be exact from Chyoode and lifts his hands, three more bolts of lightning arcing out towards her! Same thing that nearly flattened Jennifer!

Chyoode gsts knocked off her feet, but is otherwise unharmed.

As Armor transforms her motorcycle back into well, armor, Utility runs up a bit closer before stopping and taking a split second to aim as she says, "At least you're coming with us, if nothing else." before she lets out a blast of plasma from her and at armor!

Armor gets blasted and thrown into a wall, WHAM, it shakes and she hits the ground, but, already, she's starting to move. "That.. all you... got?" She asks over her loudspeaker.

Okami climbs up from the stairwell he apparently fell down when he missed his flying tackle and moves toward Lightning

Chyoode stands up again and sneezes lightning at Armour before she moves too far away.

Okami continues to charge Lightning. As he draws close enough he pulls his kusari and lashes out with it.

Lightning slaps the chain away with a smirk, "C'mon man!" And as he does so.... he calls out, "C'mon girl, lets just bail these punks ain't worth our time Chica!"

Okami laughs at Lightning. "Already lost more points than you gained from ripping off the registers?" he asks. "That's got to sting, knowing that some guy knocking over a 7-11 is going to score more points than you."

Armor flips to her feet, shaking off the plasma strike, "Fine. You already got all my points anyways..." And once more the motorcycle is back with a blurring of metal. Zoom. Armor is off driving like a bat out of hell. "Ditch this punk, we're gone!" And she heads down a stair well with amazing skill.

Lightning laughs, "You don't play the game, you don't know how many points I scored. Two heroes down, outnumbered by 4 to 1 odds, and I get her points as well. Later lamers!" And Zoom! Lightning takes off down the same stairwell, catching up to Armor!

Okami is breathing hard as the pair depart. "Interesting," he comments.
