"Yep... smells like a trap..." Luke muttered. "Literally... there is like some tech stuff around here..." He added, perhaps a frontal assault wasn't the smartest idea and yet he had no trick at his disposal to check what was inside without going and taking things head on.
"Do you see a side entrance or something man?" He mused giving his flat-mate a nod as he scanned the area for any sign of a way that would allow them to get inside without being seen. Not like he wouldn't get in if he couldn't find one of course, he didn't follow the strange message just to go back home after all.ooc - Luke will just skill mastery his 20 at perception to check if there is a side entrance and in general if he can spot anything unusual, otherwise he will go inside.

Nightscale gritted his fangs as another round of psychic onslaught washed against his scales, cracking more than a few and forcing him to expel all the air in his lungs. 'This is gonna suck tomorrow...' He thought, yep he would certainly have quite a collection of bruises and hopefully nothing was too broken.
"Is that all you got?" The black dragon forced a smirk as a show of confidence. Despite the evidence suggesting that the two supervillain's attacks had been far from harmless he was still standing and in fact, Mindifre hadn't escaped his claws, she was still struggling, but hopefully not for long.
Now the temptation to repay fire with fire was a strong one, but unleashing his dragon breath in a city street was perhaps not the wisest, so he had to rely on the less refined method of slamming the captured telepath on the ground, not exactly chivalrous perhaps, but then again, he wasn't the one tossing psychic fire around wasn't him?
"Stay put now...ok?" He his paw (but not completely just in case) to see if the villainesse underneath was still in fighting shape before turning his attention to the chaos that was still unfolding.
-
Great. He is gonna go for it then
-
In dragon form his tail should grants him Improved Grapple (Extra limb) right? If that doesn't work yeah he is just gonna squeeze
-
If I remember well, Luke can't coup de grace someone he is grappling right? If that's correct, and he can't he is gonna try and take down Mindfire (hopefully) with his Rending Claws, should be an auto hit Mindfire is grappled by him so the DC 26 Tou, Damages + Drain Toughness (DC 19).

23 For Nitghtscale, I guess it's another bruise for him, ouch
-
Still reeling from the mental onslaught Nightscale struggled to regain his footing, he shook his head as if he could physically shrug off the influence of Mindfire attack.
"Why does it always have to be psychics..." He half whispered, half growled as he narrowed his eyes searching the chaos of the battlefield for the villain that had just tried to invade his and Muirne's minds. First Sebastian and then this....
"There..." He grinned as he finally found his quarry, closing the distance between them he caught the fiery telepath in his claws.
"You are not going anywhere now..."
-
Mmm... after talking with Thev since there is no good target, Luke is gonna instead spend an hero point to action surge and just go and use his rending claw on Mindfire with a 22 to hit.
Rending Claws Touch + 7, DC 26 Tou, Damages + Drain Toughness (DC 19) Variable Descriptor, Affect Incorporeal 2, Improved Critical [Crit 19-20]
If that works he will also try to use improved grab to grapple with 35
-
Well Nightscale is gonna try to turn into gold as many villains or duplicates as he can catch within his dragon breath (without hitting his friends)
With this: Goldfire
Transform 9 (Anything into one result [Anything into Gold]. Extra: General Area [Type: General; Shape: Cone; Size: 180 ft with area 1] Feats: Progression 1 [Area], Flaws: Distracting, Range[Touch] Drawbacks: Full Power) {36PP/36}
Save DC is 19 Reflexes to half DC 19/15 Fort not to be transformed into gold (with +1 each rd to go back to normal)
Stuff in the area is also turned into gold,, but the effect is temporary he won't mind too much since things will turn back to normal eventually, but he won't include anyone innocent or a friend in the area of effect.
He will use his move action to stand up as well.

Nightscale Just 1...:

Luke had just returned from work when he received the strange invitation, he checked his phone with a puzzled look, wondering who might have sent them this invitation to an abandoned warehouse.
"Smells like a trap." He mused, then again he only had one way to find out, plus, to be honest, he didn't knew many supervillains who knew his private number so...
"What to do you think man?" He lazily turned toward Leon.
"Definitely gonna want to scout the place before dashing in..." He continued as he got ready to head out. Unlike his friend Luke didn't really need a mask to conceal his identity, instead, he removed his shirt (he had destroyed too many already) kicked away his sneakers and willed his true nature to resurface, shifting into an hybrid shape of his human and dragon form, clad in black scales and with his claws claws unsheathed. It was a trick he had just recently picked out admittedly, but a handy one at that, no need to carry his Claremont-issued costume anymore...
"Whatever... Let's go..." He smirked as he dashed into the night.
OOC - Sorry this took me a while, hopefully I'll be able to catch up with posting a bit in the upcoming weeks.
-
23 only on toughness Normally I would Hero point this, but I can't post much these days, so perhaps it's better if Nightscale spends his next action clearing his daze.
25 on the will save, but I rolled toughness by mistake so it's actually 23, well a fail anyway I guess he got his second bruise. Ouch.
-
"Roger. Roger..." Luke nodded as one of Bernadette clones explained the situation.
"Just an ordinary Wednesday than...." He smirked. It was definitely not the first time after all that an afternoon of innocent fun had turned into action. A ton of hostiles, civilians potentially in danger, looks like a job for the Young Guardians.
A shame that he hadn't brought his costume, although... it was not like he was out of alternatives.
The young man darted out of the makeshift arena, far from prying eyes where he could shed his human skin and assume his true, reptilian shape. Now clad in obsidian scales he rushed back into the fray.
He unleashed a powerful roar, no need to be subtle when you are a bus-sized lizard after all, unfolded his wings, using them to direct a blast of wind against the villains, hopefully one strong enough to distract them from the vehicle they had just broken into and perhaps buy his more stealthy friends an opening.

"Don't worry, we'll get there," Charlie says. "Plenty of time to get to know everybody, don't worry. Besides, I'm gonna run you all ragged with training exercises anyway! Gotta make sure everyone works together!"
"Always up for some proper trainin'" Luke smirked, 'casually' stretching his shoulder and 'incidentally' flexing his muscles as well.
"Secret rooms? Neat." He chuckled. "Got any treasure around here as well?" He pretended to sniff the air, trying to check if his dragon senses revealed some precious hidden within. "A vault, maybe?"
He did seems a bit less excited about the jet though. "I prefer to fly organic." He was smiling, trying to conceal a slight flinch though. In truth, he hated the idea of flying in a metal tube that went at supersonic speed, the only time he had done so in his life was to visit Muirne's family in the Uk and that has been more than enough for him, not that he would ever admit it.
"Whatever... Lead the way..."

Nightscale is gonna rush outside somewhere where he is not in line of sight and Shapeshift into his dragon form as a Standard Action.
Then he will use Move-by action ideally to keep moving (in total he can move up to 500 ft) and get close to a group of villains, ideally Visor, the clones (and possibly Sureshot as well) and then he will hero point to use:
Trip 9 (Extras: Area [Type: General; Shape: Burst; Size: 45ft]; Knockback, Flaws: Range [Touch])
Generating a burst of wind from his wings to try and knock down (+ knockback) as many of the villains as possible.
Everyone hit has to make a Strength or Dexterity check (whichever is better) ad DC 19 or get knocked prone and knocked back as if they have been hit with an attack at PL 9.
He will only do so if he can find a position where only villains will be hit (no civilians or heroes) if he can't find one he will still hero point to try attack and ideally grapple Visor with Improved Grab... But in that case he will fail with an 11... (meh) to hit.

"Amen my man." Luke chuckled and gave Alice brother a pat on the back when he mentioned dreaming that a pyrotechnic would burn down his school. "I definitely wished the same for my old school..." Well, when no one was around at least and definitely he didn't do the same for his 'new one' although given the student body it was a much more likely possibility there.
"Southsider and proud of it sir..." Luke replied to Aaron question with a cocky grin. He did not comment about the school though, after all while Claremont was quite prestigious there was no need to invite any followup questions, or draw attention to the whole superpower things.
The young man rolled his eyes as the big brother explained himself. "Come on, be a cool big bro and let your sis have some fun." He commented while ruffling the hair on the back of his neck, not that he wouldn't have done the same though, for his own little 'bro (although Gabriel was kinda of a model student, unlike Luke himself...).
A light chuckle escaped his lips as Owain mentioned that the two of them were 'exchange students', but again, he did not comment further, no need to reveal this stranger, Alice brother or otherwise, that they two were time-travelers as well.

Luke heart was racing in his chest as Shift and the rest of the team dragged the freakin' Conqueror Worm into a portal conjured by his girlfriend. "F- Yeah." He shouted as the monster was dragged into the darkness, hopefully forever (Although those types always found a way to come back for the sequel, he was confident of that). Now perhaps, the exultation was a bit out of place coming from between the fangs of a bus-sized dragon, but whatever right?
He didn't have time to ravel in the team triumph that the psychic scream scattered his though and when clarity returned, Cas was gone. He angrily roared his frustration away, he couldn't just escape... not after what he had done to... yet... there were more pressing matters. One in particular.
He rushed toward the woman he loved, dragonscales being shed while on the way, the last few steps being made wearing his human form again.
"Hey... you did it you know?" He smiled softly as he caught Murine tightly in his arms. "Thank us? Freakin' thank you... You did this..." His gaze sought to meet Muirne own as he gently wiped a tear from her cheeks. "Everythin is gonna be alright."
-
Despite the horror of the situation the nineteen years old Luke could not avoid finding the idea of fighting together with two veteran heroes somewhat exciting. At least it was one more reason not to make a fool of himself, well, not that he needed any of course, given the whole, civilians being in danger thing.
Using what was left of the momentum of the dash toward the clearing the young dragon leapt in the air, sending himself crashing against the vampire, putting all his weight into the assault. Apparently it was enough to toss the creature off-balance. With a satisfied grin, the young man used his claws to keep the monster pinned.
Dragon beats Bat... Nop... Too corny.
"See... I told you're not gonna hurt anyone else."
His eyes glowed softly as he scanned the fight for the other monstrous assailant. "Where the f*ck is your master?" He asked. "I bet he is too much of a coward to enter the fray himself?"
-
This was a freakin' mess. Machete Max was escaping and zombies were still swarming them. Unfortunately though, while he was a pretty good swimmer, Luke was not confident that he could catch up with the escaping mobster given the advantage.
He could at leas deal with the undead though, perhaps Chimera could do the rest?
"Can you catch him?" He asked Chimera, as he did his best to cut through the zombies with his claws.
"Don't worry about me I'll keep them busy..." He added, with a smirk on his lips.
Although that would mean letting Blowfish go.... Which was frustrating, but after all he knew where the gangster had his base of operations anyway and apparently he was the less or two evils anyway.
-
Nightscale is gonna try and clean up as many zombies as he can by splitting attacks using autofire (if I remember well he can take 10 against minions, I am not sure how are they are to hit. but he will try hittin 3 of them rolling a 16 with -3 to hit due to autofire).
Draconic Fury - Strength Attack (Extras: Autofire 1 [9 ranks] )
If he succeeds the DC is 24 (+1 for each 2 point that it hits). If he manages to kill at least one of the zombies he will use the Take Down Attack talent to hit another.

"Hey Stop you freakin coward!" Luke shouted as the necromantic mobster escaped the scene, he tried once to grab him on the way out, but alas, he could not, his claws finding only the air.
Dejected, the young man threw a glance toward the gold, to be sure it was still there and Max hadn't found some way to steal the prize and than sighed, staring at the small crowd of undead, realizing that unlike the corpses they found on the ship, those have been living people not that long ago.
"Feels like he is the worst after all..." He muttered, as he got ready to finish the job and send them back where they belonged.

Well Nightscale is gonna use the occasion to punch the "vampire" trying to at least take one of them down, I think it is an auto hit due to the grapple, although Luke save DC is just 24 since he is still PL 9 (eventually I'll manage to upgrade him hehe)
