Chen waves a hand through a wall, "So this is what magical desolidification is like? Hope it wears off. Either that or someone grabs that weapon and fies as a carton of Pork Chow Mein." She walks over to talk to the CBPD officers to find out how long they have been trapped like this. When she gets there her size becomes obvious by comparision. She's no more than 3ft tall.

"A couple of minutes," comes the reply. "We tried to radio for help, but if it's getting through we can't hear back. Please tell me you heroes can do something about this!"

Grimm stretches a hand towards the bubble Night Marshal is trapped in. She tries to open a gate between her and him.

The gate opens within and on the mark. "Aren't Cowboys meant to roam free?" she smirks as she sees Night Marshal through the portal.

Chen nods, "Not me. I'm a hit them until they fall down girl. But there's mage and tech capes. I kind of expect it to wear off fairly soon in any case." Chen tells the officers.

Porter sighs. So, he had a lighsaber, and now he's got a blaster. Great. What's it blast? Who knows. Porter doesn't really want to find out. So, how bout he helps Dr. O go full theme? Maybe a sight gets misaligned? Barrel not quite straight? Sticky trigger? In other words, the Stormtrooper Effect.

Night Marshal tips his hat to Grimm as he steps through the portal, "Thank you kindly, ma'am." As soon as he's clear, he fires at the guy with the bubble gun. No need to let that happen again.//Half move, 10d6 Blast vs PD (STUN only), 10 OCV, 10 DCV

THe man's force field protects him, but he's still stunned.

Rangel weighs the options of eliminating goon vs taking the gun away from the Doctor, and after a quick analysis of the effects the phase gun has on those affected, she turns her full attention on the minions. A spongey red tipped arrow is readied and fired at a goon, who happens to be armed with the bubblizer, a light smirk coming over her as Night Marshal seems to have the same priority of target.

The man, already really from Night Marshal's blow, drops straight to the ground, unconscious.

Dr Omnipotent realises that Grimm is the main problem for him, since she keeps freeing the bubbled people! He takes a step in her direction and fires, saying, "This will stop your meddling!"

A plastic bag which had been drifting along in the wind suddenly ends up out of phase with this world. Its momentum carries it through a warehouse wall. Rangel pulls another red-tip arrow, satisfied with her current operational plan as she takes aim at the one with the compression gun.

The arrow glances off the force field. It's not clear the guy even felt that.

"Hm. Well protected, ready to do some murderizin', I think it's time we stepped up the force," Rangel muses, drawing a blunt-tip for next shot.

Chen tries gooping into a liquid and back. Just to see if that will 'shake' her body back into phase.

Porter runs on the hope that Dr. Stormtrooper will continue to live up to that, and turns his attention to one of the other gun goon guys. Rather, gun goon guy's gun. All that fancy tech still. Made by who knows who? probably unstable and finicky. Might go B.O.O.M

The compression gun leaks some sort of energy worryingly, but the man's force field shields him from it.

Still, he winces like someone just squeezed his hand hard during a handshake, and staggers back a little.

Night Marshal takes a few steps to try to get into some cover and picks one of the other gun-wielding lackey-types to fire at. The problem of the main villain can be sorted out after his support staff is taking a nap.

The non-lethal round strikes the guy's force field square on...and causes him to reel a bit, shaking his head.

Of the three goons still standing, only two are in a fit state to act. The one with the X-ray laser lines up a shot on Rangel: he is their long-range guy, after all.

The shot misses by only a hair.

Rangel takes notice. She very much takes notice. "Oh a wise guy eh..."

The guy with the compression gun fires at Porter, who seems to have done Bad Things to the gun.

Porter gets the rather unpleasant sensation of being crumpled up like a ball of paper. Fortunately, the process doesn't go through to completion, but he has this nagging feeling that bits of him are pointing in the wrong direction. Possibly including some directions humans are mostly unaware of.

Wonder tries to grap the compression gun from the hands of the guy that just seemed to be warping the space Porter is in.

Wonder yanks the gun roughly from his hands.

Dr Omnipotent fires once more on Grimm, figuring he can still win if she's eliminated from the equation....

....only to find that the weapon doesn't work on her.

Rangel aims at the one that decided to step up to her in the ranged marksmanship game, not giving him a chance to correct that aim and strike her as she relocates herself to draw a direct line between herself and the water, with X-ray gun wielding guy between.

The guy is blasted most of the way to the water.

Thunder looks around at all the firing, and figures the other heroes can handle the goons at least. Doctor Omnipotent is the main problem. And the teen apparently has an idea, he tries to get in close and grab the good doctor stormtrooper rip off type of guy!

Getting a hold of the good Doctor Stormtrooper, Thunder proceeds to squeeze but finds /that/ does nothing. "Definitely force field..." He calls over towards Grimm, "Hey, shadow lady! Drop us in the water!"

Chen chats to the CBPD officers while waiting to see if this effect will wear off.

Porter has never been one to argue that people don't bend that way. Mostly because he always loses those arguments, and by demonstration to the contrary. While he can't say he's been crumpled like this before, there's always a first! He turns his attention on Dr. O, who's now grabbed. "Hold on! Maybe wait for his thingy to fall off!" Porter will try and help with things falling off. Like forcefields. Sometimes all it takes is a momentary blip or power flutter, right?

Grimm makes a gate close by Thunder and Dr Omnipotent, leading to over the water.

Night Marshal has seen several people making physical attacks on Dr. Omnipotent...but...perhaps... He breaks from cover...and while the 'doctor' is still held, he tries to get a swing in at the villain. With his taser gauntlet. . o O (No idea if this will work...let's find out, shall we?)

The taser crackles on Night Marshal's gauntlet...and he strikes home. Only to have no effect at all.

Dr Omnipotent doesn't even seem to notice the attack, what with being grappled by someone very strong.

Night Marshal sighs, "It figures."

Wonder calls to Chen. "Hey, there's this switch thingy on this gun. Want me to try shooting you with it flipped and see if it brings you back?"

Chen moves away from the officers, then nods. "Try it, Winder."

Wonder his Chen squarely with the ray. Luckily, it does indeed bring her back to the land of the solid rather than dispersing her atoms across myriad dimensions or some such.

Chen touches the ground and gives Wonder a thumbs up. "They aren't going to like this siggestion, but hold off bringing the officers back until the fighting is finished."

Wonder nods. "I think you're right there."

Night Marshal gives up on dealing with Dr. Omnipotent for teh time being. He instead just steps away from the man and fires on the closest goon.

The guy clearly felt that, but isn't stunned.

The man with the x-ray laser fires (wide) at Rangel.

The person with the teleport gun aims at Thunder, hoping to teleport him away from Dr Omnipotent.

The guy with the teleport gun fires on Thunder - but Thunder blocks with Dr Omnipotent himself! The villain suddenly finds himself a long way straight up, and heading for a nasty fall!

Thunder, in the heat of the moment, uses the most obvious thing in hand. And well... then he has no villain in his hands. He blinks a few times, then comments to the goon, "Uh, hey, that was your boss. Where'd you send him?"

The goon looks straight up. . o O ( I am SO fired.... )

Chen grins, glances at Wonder, "Want him saved?" she asks.

The guy with the compression gun fires at Wonder. He's the guy the boss wants dead, right?

Thunder also looks up, then at the goon. Then looks over to Wonder and calls out, "Hey! Can the stormtrooper rip off survive a massive fall from way in the air?"

The guy misses Wonder - and hits the empty shrinking bubble which has been behind him since the last guy failed to hit him. The bubble crumples in interesting ways, which causes it to pop in a flash of light. So there's one way to break them, anyway!

Rangel launches arrow at the goon with the X-Ray who thinks he has somtehing to prove by matching her in distance shots, leaping forward to negate the distance problem.

SPLOSH! The guy with the laser ends up in the harbour.

Chen fails to block the attack against Wonder. Fortunately the attack missed. Even so she's more than a little irritated by what's happened so far. Morphing into a large Siberian sabre-teeth tiger she growls menacingly at the agent who fired. Then is a cultured English accent tell the goon, "If you shoot again I'll eat your face. Without ketchup"

The guy drops his gun. A small yellow trickle runs down the inside of his force field.

Grimm drops her Portal and looks up to try and see Omnipotent. She can't spy him, so she whips her head at one of the goons to give them a death glare.

The guy shrieks in sheer terror and curls up on the ground in foetal position. Being only your basic rent-a-goon without the equipment.

From high above booms a voice. Or rather it would be booming, if it weren't such a long way awat. "You have won this round, Wonder, but the battle is far from over! I will be back - and you will pay! So swears Dr Omnipotent!!!" And with that, he vanishes.

Wonder winces. "He's cracked completely, now...."

Chen morphs back to her normal form, except for being only 3ft high, and gives Wonder a hug if he allows. "I've missed you."

Night Marshal looks up in the direction that Dr. Omnipotent had been a moment ago. "Hrm. At least the guy isn't terribly bright, otherwise he'd be a major problem."

Thunder blinks a few times as he looks upwards, then looks around. "So... oh, guess I need to get the guy out of the water, huh?" Thunder moves off that way, jumping off into the water literally.

Wonder hugs Chen. "Me, too! Sorry, I've been lying low, hoping Dr O would get tired of looking for me. I guess that didn't work.:

[To Night Marshal] Wonder says, "He kind of *is* omnipotent. He can do anything, have any power - just not all at once. He's actually no tougher than a typical supervillain at any one time."

Grimm sighs and walks over to the others. "If I hadn't been so busy getting people out of bubbles, I could've had a chance to assault his mind while he was fending off your blasts, or vice versa."

Grimm smiles in amusement. "Dr. O is such an unfortunate nickname," she murmurs.

Rangel makes her way closer. "Well, that was a weird mess. Kinda fun though. And educational! Good choice on taking the goons down first. Eventually." She grins.

Night Marshal shakes his head, "If the man can't do it all at once, he isn't omnipotent. Not really. And with the level of power he has, he'd be a lot more dangerous if he was smart."

Chen nods, "Yeah. Hey, I've seen weapons like these behind. Starguard captured a bunch of them. So where is this alien tech stuff coming from?"

[To Grimm] Wonder says, "I don't get the joke?"

Porter now tries to see about de-crumpling himself. That is a word, right? It's a concept, at least. He has enough problems with his clothes always being wrinkled without this.

"Dr. O, like....um." Grimm blushes. "Do I have to spell that out? Really?"

"Probably a sex thing," Rangel suggests.

hunder returns after dropping the goon that was in the water with the rest, looking at the other hereos, "You probably do." He shrugs, "I get it, too, and I'm a teenager. So where did they get these weapons anyways?"

Wonder says, "I guess?"

Grimm confirms, "Definitely a sex thing."

Wonder frowns. "Yeah, these weapons definitely aren't from around here!"

"See? Always a sex thing when you have no idea what it means," Rangel grins. "I don't know what it means. Don't care! Don't need to know. Same weapons as we saw in that basement, so maybe the O-Doc was there too. Maybe he owns the place. Maybe not."

Wonder shakes his head. "The whole being spotted here was just to lure me out, it turns out."
