Early Frost 2007/10/16 	 Akeno Citadel Crater Jacqueline Frost Jennifer and Jessica Heavy Metal Princess Kibin Sir Crimson 2

''The heroes are gathered at a local airfield for various reasons. Akeno spots Jacqueline Frost boarding a plane and follows her.''

Ashton sees the tanker move towards the plane.... and puts his PDA in his pocket while running for the door, opening it and moving out onto the tarmac while changing into his raptor form.

HMP Stops when sees Ashton come out of the plane and change form. She steps back some and then pulls out her sword and gets closer so she can see and hear whats going. She calls out, "whats going on here?"

Akeno frowns quite a bit, "No, I hadn't." He looks at the twins, then at Frost. "So what are you two doing here, then? Looks more like you're leaving with her." He looks both twins over carefully, looking for anything out of the ordinary. Something definitely seems off to him. o O (Anyone could know my name... I get some news coverage, after all.) His eyes narrow a bit, "Twins, could I see some ID, please? It's not that I don't trust you, but we that organization you were with might clone you or something. I'm just making sure."

Frost's eyes narrow. She looks out through a window on the plane and spies the oncoming fuel truck. "Looks like we've got some company, Jenn. Look sharp." She turns to Akeno and winks. "'Scuse me, constable. I've got a truck to catch."...

A chill comes to the air in the cabin of the airplane and the air condenses into a mist around Jacqueline Frost. Quickly, the fog disappates, and Frost is gone with it.

Outside the airplane, the white haired woman appears from a cloud of fog.

Jennifer laughs wryly as Jacqueline mists out of the plane. "Can it wait Detective? There's a small problem outside that has to be dealt with." Another laugh, "Exploding planes. That's getting to be a feature of Jacqueline and I meeting up. With that she runs for the doorway to go help.

Jessica follows Jennifer.

Crater nods. He looks towards the plane and concentrates. One moment, they're there. With a crack of displaced air, Crater takes Sir Crimson beneath the plane and to the other side.

The truck bears closer to the planes at breakneck speed. There's a single driver, and he looks to be a costumed individual.

Jessica calls out "Jacqueline, everyone, watch out for snipers and others. Nobody will expect the truck will do the job. It's undoubtedly a distraction."

Sir_Crimson pops in with Crater near the plane, "Nice work my good sir. I don't suppose you can stop a speeding truck." The red energy in his sword shoots between the truck and the plane forming a large energy shield. "This might slow you down."

Citadel concentrates and lowers his density, then uses his strength and leaps forward towards the truck.

From one of the hangars, a truck barrels through. It's piled high with armed gunmen who are hanging onto the side of the truck. Also in the truck is a strong looking Chinese man.

Kibin stops, seeing that the other heros have the fuel truck apparently taken care of... so he moves closer to the truck with the gunmen.

HMP looks at the truck coming to the plane and decide to take care of that walking in front of the truck and reaches down to her chest and opens her chest plate exposing the cannon. She fires the aiming for the truck

Akeno pokes his head out of the plane, then blinks and calls back to the pilot and co-pilot, "Shut down the plane and evacuate! You've got a fuel truck about to ram the plane!" He turns and hurries back out, speed-teleporting near Frost as he turns to look at the gunmen truck. "Don't tell me... old associates?" He says over his shoulder to the ice lady.

Frost watches the oncoming truck and tenses, preparing to act. The air about her hands crystallizes into a pair of ice blades.

HMP looks at the truck coming to the plane and decide to take care of that walking in front of the truck and reaches down to her chest and opens her chest plate exposing the cannon. She fires the aiming for the truck. before firing she calls out, "everyone back away!" Her lazers power up and fires.

Jennifer flashes a quick grin Akeno's way, "That's pretty close, Detective. We have a lot in common too."

Akeno chuckles, "Save it 'til we're done. I believe you now. Frost, can you freeze the fuel truck?"

The blast hits the truck, bit remains relatively undamaged.

Akeno's eyes narrow as he seems to realise something, "Scratch that, Frost. The one in the fuel truck is a firebug named Ember. The other's more my style. Feng Jia. Mercenary with a perchance for the martial arts."

Frost smiles, "I'm flattered. Someone's thrown a farewell party."

Akeno smirks, "After this, we check the plane as well."

Jennifer and Jessica wait for the fuel truck to close the distance and to see how the force wall copes.

The driver of the fuel truck leaps for the cabin. He doesn't touch the ground ever. Instead a firey sheath ignites about him and he hovers in the air. He floats up in to the air and waits a moment...

Meanwhile the truck barrels forward into the force wall...

The truck barrels though the wall of force and grind to a halt, 5" shy of Frost, Crimson, Crater, Akeno and the twins. Ember, from his airbourne position, flicks a burst of flame down towards the damaged vehicle.

Jessica darts with burring speed across the gap to interpose herself between the expanding fireball and Jacqueline Frost.

Frost vanishes in a puff of fog, appearing ten meters behind her previous position.

Jessica grins as Jacqueline mits away. "This is getting to be a habit."

FOOSH-BOOM!! The truck explodes leaving a flaming wreckage and a pool of burning fuel on the runway.

Sir_Crimson gets a face full of flame but doesn't seem hurt. "This is getting out of hand."

Citadel looks around, as an explosion barely reaches him. The last remnants of the explosion pass through him. "What a mess..." then studies the participants, to remember things for his report.

Crater wobbles from the wash of heat at his new location? >.> "...Crater glad Crater wearing less than usual. That warm explosion."

The truck of gunmen drives past Kibin and some of them open fire on the gathered heroes.

Jennifer and Jessica are somewhat pleased they're wearing the new model force armor as the flames and heat licks around them.

Citadel looks at the truck and shakes his head. He moves infront of it and extends out his hands, positioning himself for a full block. He solidifies, and then sinks into the ground a bit, focusing fulling on making his mass massive.

Akeno coughs, coming out of the explosion with his shirt in tatters as he calls out to the others, "Watch out for Ember! He headed into the air!"

Just before the collision, the Chinese man dives clear of the truck.

The truck comes to abrupt stop as if runs into Citadel, who does a reasonable impression of a brick wall. The driver of the truck is knocked unconscious instantly, and all of the other gunmen are thrown from the vehicle.

The remaining gunmen spend a few moments, getting up from the ground and regaining their bearings.

Citadel grumbles as the truck crushes around him a bit. "Surrender now... I'm not in the mood for this crap."

Jennifer steps a little closer and reaches up to Ember with her energy whip seeking to grab and squeeze the hotshot.

The stewardess and the crew from Akeno's plane run off. The crew from Frost's plane are running for cover as well.

Sir_Crimson leaps into the air on his steed which appears in a burst of red energy. Flying right toward Ember he makes his bow and fires an arrow at him, "Mister you are under arrest."

Jennifer wraps a loop of her energy whip around Ember and begins to squeeze him. In a moment she's pull him out of the sky and hang him out in front of her as a shield against the gunmen.

Sir_Crimson lands an arrow on target. He calls back to the others, "This fellow is mine." To Ember he challenges, "You fight like a coward."

Feng Jia runs up to the planes. He strikes a kung fu stance and his hands start to smoulder.

"Hmm." Frost says, looking around. She looks down at her hands and frowns. She starts to run away from the flames and burning fuel of the crashed fuel truck.

HMP close her chest plate and pulls out her sword. She smiles behind her mask and cargest forward to the nearest Gunman and swings hard.

Jessica pulls a thick belt from the inside of her jacket and tosses it to Jacqueline. "Mamba phasing unit as improved by SG Tech Div and borrowed by me when I left." She tells Jacqueline. Then she remains ready to react.

HMP sword cuts into his armor doing some damage

Jennifer releases Ember from her grip and half moves towards Feng Jia, her energy whip going ahead in a martial strike.

Jennifer lashes the energy whip into Feng Jia's chest. "I get a little irritated when people attack my friends."

Jessica pulls a thick belt from the inside of her jacket and tosses it to Jacqueline. "Mamba phasing unit as improved by SG Tech Div and borrowed by me when I left." She tells Jacqueline. Then she remains ready to react.

Ember throws a jet of fire at Frost, hoping to catch her by surprise.

Frost manage to find the On switch on the device in time. The blast goes through her and scorches the tarmac.

Crater disappears once again. He pops into existance next to one of the goons, trying one heck of a grab on the poor fellow.

Crater has the guy! With another crack of displaced air... they appear 10" away... straight up.

Akeno frowns and moves forward quickly at the nearest gunman, teleporting with his speed over to one and trying to level it with a bunch.

Feng Jia seems to shake the fog from his head.

Akeno levels the gunman and frowns a bit. He calls back, "Normals with armor! Concentrate on Feng and Ember! Citadel and I can handle these!"

Sir_Crimson gets to Ember with a few flaps of his energy steed's wings. The dark crimson sword folds back to form an barrier around his right gauntlet, "Hey I said I challenge you coward!" He swings at him with his crackling right fist.

Sir_Crimson's fist slams into Ember and his goes flying downwad toward the ground, "Whoops." He looks around and says sheepishly, "Ummm they normally don't go down that easy."

Jessica grins up at the knight, "Not bad, whoever you are."

Citadel looks around the gunmen that were thrown from the truck. "Put your weapons down, and you won't get hurt. Who is the ring leader?"

The gunmen look at one another. They hesitate before raising their weapons and firing.

Citadel grumbles a bit, "So, I take that is a no then."

Citadel looks for the closest gunman and heads over and punches him. "Should of surrendered."

Citadel punches squarely in the jaw, sending the man back a few feet, a slight crack is heard.

Frost looks at the device that Jennifer had tossed her. "Hmm. What I could have done with one of these in my collection. Black Mamba you say?"

Feng looks around and doesn't see to like the way things are going. He begins to run back towards the hangars.

Jessica says, "The Mamba organization. Part of the last set of Mamba equipment captured when Black Mamba II was active."

Akeno moves over to the next gunman, leaping upwards and coming down towards the one that aimed for him. Instead of the standard 'flying kick', though, the cop brings back a fist and slams it downwards on the poor gunman.

Jennifer closes the distance to the fleeing Feng Jia and strikes out with her energy whip.

Akeno nails the next gunman with his fist, dropping him face-down into the ground like a sack of potatoes as he ends up with his head on the ground.

Jennifer is making Feng dodge and dance to avoid the whip tip even if she doesn't make contact.

Jessica grins at Frost and blows on the nails of her left hand before buffing them on the sleeve of her jacket. "Just a work out."

"I'd love to join, but things have gotten a touch warm for my tastes," Frost says.

Jessica says, "It's good practice for some on the less experienced metas. I'm holding back as well."

Crater, as he impacts, practically folds in half. However, when he springs back, he uses the momentum to get to his feet. Once he does, he teleports over to another goon, aiming a strike as he comes down.

Presently, Alex is wearing the combination of a brown corduroy jacket, blue button-down shirt and khaki slacks, with canvas sneakers poking out from beneath the cuffs.

Crater connects with his falling kick-strike-thingy! The goon reels, but is standing. "Awww... Crater thought he had that one, too."

Sir_Crimson hovers in the air on his mount. He calls down to Akeno, "I might have known you would be involved somehow. Trouble follows you sir." In a blink the energy around his gauntlet turns into a bow and he fires at one of the gunmen, "Not that I mind of course."

Sir_Crimson shouts at the gunmen as the one he hits goes down in a flash of red, "Drop your weapons you are outmatched!"

Citadel turns his attention to another gunman and reaches out and attempts to grab and subdue him.

The two remaining gunmen throw down their guns and start running for it!

Citadel grumbles a bit, "Stop, oh nevermind.."

Frost says, to Jenn. "Pardon me for skipping out, but this may be a good time to become scarce. Tell Lord Markham to expect me. I'll return your device as soon as I'm able..." She waves and slowly sinks into the tarmac and disappears from sight. "G'bye!"

Jessica says, "Bye."

Akeno looks after those that are running. "Hmm... Feng's not getting away." The cop moves one step before blurring again to in front of Feng, turning to send a double-fisted punch into the mercenary's gut.

Akeno knocks Feng flat from the blow. "Sorry, Feng Jia. You're not getting away."

Jennifer nods to Akeno, "All yours, Detective." She says and matches her words by leaving FengJia to the martial policeman. Instead she goes over to Ember and gives his a carefully pulled pubch to make sure he stays down. Jess stands back watching while buffing the nails of her other hand.

Feng hops up to his feet and strikes a stance. "Gonna make you wish you'd let me go, cop." And with that, he reached for Akeno's chest with a smouldering hand.

Angstrom's touch is like being stuck with a red-hot poker.

Akeno winces and moves back quickly, "Flaming hands? Now I understand quite a bit... avoid the hands and avoid the power." Strangely, his chest isn't doing more than smoking a little. "You already know who I am, Feng Jia. Do you really expect to touch the wind when it's ready for you?" The cop's stance changes, then he moves forward to spin into a fake kick before the real one comes spinning at the mercenary's head.

Akeno's successive spinning kicks knocks Feng down despite his blocking attempts as the cop lands in a crouch, hand out to the side as he looks at the downed Feng. "And stay down." He glances off towards the other gunman to see if he has to chase him down.

The other gunmen have gotten 12" away but should be chased down with a little effort. Meanwhile fire crews at the airport have assembled and are rushing forward to deal with the fire, with firefighting robots in the lead.

Crater totally could catch up with 'em, but figures they've learned their lesson for now.

Akeno does catch up with them. And use them for brief punching bags as he appears out of thin air seemingly to drop both before 'porting back. "That all of them?"

Jennifer nods, "Yes. Nicely handled folks. I'd like to know who sent them after Jacqueline though.

Crater pauses. "Crater wonder why you chase down? They retreating. They give up?"

Akeno shrugs, "That's where I come in. Unless you want me to turn my back while you interrogate the two ring leaders?" He pulls out his PDA, placing a call to the PD as he waits for an answer, waiting to see before he decides on whether or not to tell them to take their time. He does at least report how many down, no injuries known so far other than typical meta battle.

Jennifer says, "That's not what I do, Detective. They are out cold so they can't answer questions. I wonder what brought you on the scene her however?"

Akeno says, "I was returning from Japan. My father died ten years ago last month."

Crater scratches his head, wobbles, scratches elsewhere. "Um... which way to hospital?"

Jennifer nods, "My condolences, Detective. It was happenstance then?"

Akeno nods. "It was. I spotted Frost after I disembarked my plane."

Crater looks over the hospital gown, glad he 'borrowed' some pants to help with the modesty factor.

Jessica nods as she comes over, "Jacqueline is turning herself in. We bumped into each other a few times. I think getting to know me let her see there was a chance to live the kind of life that her friend and spiritual advisor would have wished for her."

Akeno nods. "So she is still headed to Britain, then?"

Jennifer nods, "Yes."

Akeno nods, "I'll send a good word for her over. She pretty much delivered a known mercenary and a meta villain to use on a silver platter. And..." He looks over at the gunmen, taking a quick count. "Ten gunmen? Wow."

Jennifer says, "They are just hirelings. If you find out who sent them I'm be interested in hearing it"

Crater nods and wobbles. "...Crater not seem to be blinking all over city now... might be good return to hospital for Crater. ...which way from here?"

Jennifer goes over, "I'll take you back."

Akeno nods. "I have to wait for the police, sadly. I still need to find my bags and change shirts."

Crater nods his appreciation, lightly swaying.

Jennifer helps crater back to the hospital.
