RECAP: Returning to DC, the heroes encountered a strange barrier field around SG HQ. Inside, Mirage and Bee were on guard when systems were suddenly cut off. Investigating, they found hypnotised guards and Dr. Scarletti... freed from her cell by the remaining 11 of her Numbers!. Outside the heroes pushed through the barrier and raced to intervene!

The battle continues within the confines of the security wing of Starguard Washington, DC! A call has gone out for reinforcements, now that the barrier separating SG HQ from the rest of the universe has dropped.

The battle is roughly as so: Drei is the closest to the rear of the hero's lines, having just slashed Bee. Funf is next, desolid trying to block people's line of sight with her body. Next is the melee line: Neun (brick) and Sieben (sword). Behind them is the ranged line: Vier, Sechs. Finally is the support line: Dr. Scarletti, Ein, Zwei, Zehn, Zwolf, and Acht (who got slammed back from her place in the ranged line). There are about 4m between each group

Star Girl runs the halls of the SG building, heading towards the sound of fighting. She's full of nerves and adrenaline right now, voice wavering a bit when she calls out over the radio: 'Star Girl here. I'm coming!' Moments later, she skids onto the battlefield, joining the ranks of the heroes.

Vier impassively surveys the battle, evaluating the mental input from the Doctor, an dher less combative sisters. She levels her giant energy rifle and fires at Ten, whispering, " Cuchulainn Burster: Gae Bolg." A gout of energy races toward the beauteous heroine!

Neun, her massive muscles rippling beneath her blue skinsuit, looks around warily, not certain where the Shadow Dragon [Mirage who is absent today] vanished to. With a shrug, she runs up to Spirit and tries to slam him into next year!

Ten hardly even missteps at the blast, and pretends to be even less affected than she was. She smiles at Vier.

Neun's musclebound swing can't connect!

Ein grabs Acht and hauls her to her feet, "Go. Fight."

Bee struggles to stay aware of her surroundings and just keep breathing.

Drei looks around for fresh meat, and decides to go 2 for 2 on armored heroines. She lashes out with her razor sharp energy wings, slashing at Aoi!

Aoi shakes her head as Drei slashes her armored shell with energy wings, "My armor is a form of collapsium. I'd be suprised if you can affect it." The complete lack of any visible effect seems to add weight to Aio's words.

Drei snarls, "Yeah? Hey Vier! Crack this nut for me when you can! I want to taste her meat!"

Spirit ignores Neun, and flies over closer to the back ranks. He calls out to the others, "Weak targets first. Leave the bruiser to last. Their abilities mesh well...let's start to unravel that fabric." He raises his hands, and does similarly to his last blast...trying to catch multiple targets with a wide laser blast from outstretched fingers. This time, the blast is directed toward Ein, Acht and Zwolf.

All three are sent flying back to different degrees. Acht seems slow to recover [at low STUN].

Funf runs after Spirit and drops into a spinning legsweep, solidifying her ankle just as she's about to strike!

Funf laughs, "I'm silly, not harmless!"

Spirit is flying, but he tumbles a bit in the air, losing his orientation.

Star Girl takes a quick lock across the battlefield trying to take in a million of factors at once. She hesitates at first, perhaps a little overwhelmed by the situation. Then she locks in on Spirit's orders. "Got it!" she says quickly in acknowledgement. She springs up and plants her feet on the ceiling. With a grunt she hurls a powerful blast at Acht, trying to take her out of the fight.

Acht is driven into the wall. She falls foward on her face, motionless. [KO]

The fox-monster-thing tears into the entangly thing that has enveloped her in a somewhat weaker manner than intended.

With a terrifying (to the minions) roar, Fox shreds the bonds that were given to her, and proceeds to give Dr. Scarletti a cleaner clock. In the form of a heavy punch.

Dr. Scarletti tries to parry with her clawed gauntlet, but Fox plows right by her guard and smashes the Doctor through the nearby wall. Dr. Scarletti lies where she falls [One hit KO!]

Fox turns toward the one still standing near her. "You...next."

Zehn's eyes go wide and she falls to her knees, "I... I didn't see that..."

Zehn scrambles to her feet and starts running down the corridor, away from the heroes. [move: 6m away]

Ten follows Spirit's order and attempt to strike one of the softer targets, specifically Zwei. She's not sure if having us in another dimensions actually does much good, but presumably of they want it it's a good thing to stop. She advances about three metres and lashes out with her rapidly-extending staff.

Zwei squeaks in pain as the staff thumps her, rolling her backa few more meters.

Sieben starts laughing, her shoulders shaking, "YouhitheDoctoryouhittheDoctorI'llkillyoukillyoukillkillkillkillkillkillkillKILL!" She turns and charges at Fox, her sword glowing red with black runes.

Zwei gets to her feet, a little unsteadily, "I, I have to be brave! I have to fight!" Translucent grey discs form in front of her hands.

The blade swings, narrowly missing the monstrous Fox who steps at just the right moment, the runed sword relieving her of some fur.

Aoi calls over to Zwei, "Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is not do wrong just because your peers do. It's never too late to take charge of your own destiny. Take no action against us and you won't have to fight."

Aoi ignores, well offensively at least, Drei, for the moment. That sword looked nasty and Fox only barely managed to sidestep it. Further, Sieban is focused on Fox and likely an easier target for Aoi. So she fires a neutrino burst at Sieban's flank.

Sieben staggers and looks around in a daze, "k-k-kill..." [CON Stunned]

Ein calls out, "Sechs, heal the Doctor!"

Aoi says, "I'd like at this point to promote the sword wielder, at least temporarily, to the ranks of the squishy finish off now category."

Sechs waves her hand dimissively, "Heal? Worthless! So worthless! If our parent can be defeat so easily, she's worthless! Healing is for the weak! Pain is much more fun." She smiles at Spirit, "You. You're the leader. Merciful Pain: Bloody Recollection!" She fires a pale beam of light at him!

Zwolf stands up and smiles a little nervously at Fox, "Um, please go to your happy place, OK? Shangri-La: Garden of Paradise."

Spirit is hit with the power and screams out...collapsing to the floor. He shivers, having to relive a combination of events...the nuclear accident that gave him powers, and his 'death' a couple of years later.

Cecila is late to the party but certainly not the least of the heroes here as she has adorned herself in a shell of rock and dirt and practically flies forward a she decides to ram the one that was called out as the healer

Sechs' eyes widen as Bulldozer appears and slams into her, then smiles as she realizes she's basically unharmed, "Worthless!"

Cecila rams into Sechs' at full speed and gets stopped dead in her tracks... Now most people would be reeling from such an impact but she doesnt look any worse for wear and to be blunt, she's exactly where she wants to be in the middle of everything!

Mirage frowns as Fox gets taken out by ms. Mental Illusion girl. And as feared, she tends to be problematic. Thankful that he kept a four legged form, he quickly rushes by on all fours even in his large bulk, rushing by the others. At the end of his run he pounces, aiming to land on Zwolf. "Think it's past your bedtime," he says."

Zwolf moans, "Ahhh~! N~no~! Ahh~!"

Harlequin materializes as a silvery blue outline of a man next to Bee then fills in with the form of Harlequin. Silver and blue disks circle the man in a wild orbit as he lazily waves an ornate wooden and crystal wand at Drei. "I think I have watched long enough," he murmurs in European accented English. Grey mist boils from his eyes and lances at Drei.

Drei freezes where she stands, her wings outstretched.

Ein stands up and walks forward, "Inherent Skill: Identical Mind." Her expression changes to Dr. Scarletti's familiar smirk, "My, my. One little set back, and my dear daughters fall apart. I'll have to rectify that later. Sechs, be a darling and heal my other self. Or else."

Noises of battle and a pool of blood: that is Bee's world right now. Oh. Right. That's Bee's blood. She's just a girl with deep pockets and some cool toys, right? Oh yeah, and really slow moving blood. Slowly - way too slowly, other facts start to creep into the edges of her consciousness. The blood is slow, because the wound isn't that deep. Scarletti is down? The neat battle lines are breaking down. Fact follows fact and slowly Bee realizes one more thing as she raises her head and looks at more than her own blood.

Bee is is hero and is back in the fight.

Drei struggles to move, her fingers flexing slightly, but she can't break free.

Spirit's energy form is starting to become less cohesive...energy wisps starting to slough off of him like mist on a rainy day. . o O (Get up, Dorian...you can't let this happen. Not again. Get up!) He gets to his feet, though looking a little wobbly. He growls audibly, raises a fist toward Sechs, and lets loose with a laser blast with her as the sole target.

Sechs sneers at the blast, not budging as she no-sells it, "How worthless."

Funf wanders over to Drei and pokes her in the cheek, and giggles, "Drei-sister! You're all stiff!"

Zwei shakes her head at Ten, "I have to fight, for my family!" She holds her translucent grey discs at the ready.

Star Girl's eyelets widen in shock as she sees Spirit's reaction to Sechs's attack. She puts her hands side by side and unleashes a beam of blue-white energy. She walks the beam across the ground towards Sechs. ZAAAAM!

Zwei sends one of her discs to block the blast from Star Girl, but fails!

Sechs is sent flying back. She loosk up from where she falls, her eyes blazing with hate, "You! Caused. Me. Pain!"

Bee mutters, "Get used to it."

Star Girl's palms are smoking from the effort. "Plenty more where that came from," she says to Sechs.

Mirage quickly squeezysqueezys Zwolf some more, aiming to knock her unconscious. And... not particularly wanting to try and punch the two bricks right now. So... he resumes sitting on Zwolf, until she blacks out.//10d6 squeezysqueezy, OCV 6 DCV 1.

Spirit looks up to Star Girl, "Nice shot..." His voice sounds a little hollow and echo-like.

Zwolf squirms, "Ooo~ooh~! N~nooo~! St-stop~!"

Vier looks around, "Tactical situation change. Alpha hammer." She fires her rifle at Spirit, "Defeat the coordinator."

Neun, grins, "Fine. We'll crush the glowy bastard between us." She lumbers up to Spirit and tries to slug him.

Spirit is hit in the side by Vier's blast...which sends him a short distance, and he tumbles to his feet, no worse for wear. He glances toward Vier, "I'll get to you in a minute."

Spirit is sent reeling by the punch...his defenses are good against energy, but not as good against strong types. He flies into the wall, and lands in a heap, his body still misting...breaking apart slowly.

Zehm continues to bravely run away, rounding the corner away from the heroes.

Star Girl see Spirit go down. o O ( &!*#! )

Ten is shocked to see Spirit go down - she thought him tougher! But she follows Aoi's lead and tries to take out the scary crazy one with the sword, bracing her staff and expanding it at full force.

Sieben is knocked down the hallway. She shakes her head refocuses, "You."

Aoi flies forward and tries to finish off the job Ten and she have been working on, taking the sword crazy killer out of the combat.

Sech stands up and glares at Star Girl, "Relive your worst memory, you worthless creature!" She fires a pale beam at her.

Zwolf looks at Mirage, "Oh~! Join me in my happiness! Shangri-la: Paradise Garden~!"

Star Girl is already fading from sight by the time Sechs fires on her. She darts a few steps to side, along the ceiling, to get out of the way.

Mirage blinks, looking off into the distance for a bit before refocusing his eyes, and looking down at her. "...wait... are you ENJOYING this?!"

Cecila smirks some at Sechs and slides forward as she gathers more concrete from the ground and wall, ripping it free from the rebar support and creating a big boulder sized rock "Stand still and I'll show you useless" she challenges Sechs as she gets ready to throw the big boulder at Sechs

Harlequin shakes his head as Spirit goes down. He snaps in a stentorian voice, "Someone take out Drei. Others take out Vier then Neun. I will aid Spirit." He then takes a step, becomes an outline then re-materializes next to Spirit. As he kneels next to Spirit the disks around Harlequin fly out and form an impossible dome composed of perfectly interlocking octagons. "No dying. Its against the rules."
