Yeah, I was going to let Kaede spend a HP to do so, but if you want Stormcrow to spend one instead that is fine as well.

@Thunder King Sever is up

GM As many of the small insect like drones are knocked out of the sky by the teen heroes, or confused by the blinding light from Gamma Buzz and Blue Blot, more of the needle fighters dove down towards the park. Half a dozen crashed into the ground, two in the street to the east, each releasing a swarm of a dozen of the flying insect drones. The other four landed in the grass of the park, spaced out around where Timeout, Torpedo Lass 2, Sever and Daedalus were standing. As the sides peeled back on the vessels, each released four of the humanoid drones, who landed on the grass, turning to face towards the four heroes. Up in the sky, other needle fighters veered away from the ground, chasing after some of the flying heroes in pairs. Two went after Rot, their tips crackling with green energy as they fired blasts of energy at the heroine, one of the blasts striking her. Both Spaceman and Golden Star had a pair of the agile fighters speed towards them and open fire. Golden Star managed to dodge both of the blasts aimed at him, while Spaceman managed to avoid one of the blasts. However, as he did so, he moved right into the path of the other attack, which struck him squarely in the chest. Back over the center of the park, two of the needle fighters chased after Blue Bolt, but the small alien managed to weave and dodge, avoiding the crackling green energy, at least for now.

Okay, the regular drones on the ground will start moving in towards where Timeout, TL2, Sever and Daedalus are currently standing, though the closest are not even 200' away when they finish their moves. A pair of needle fighters will attack Rot: 12 and 26, one miss and one hit. DC 25 toughness save @Huckleberry Another pair go after Spaceman: 30 and 12, a miss, but a Critical Hit! DC 30 toughness save @RocketLord A pair go after Golden Star: 16 and 11, both miss. And finally two go after Blue Bolt: 12 and 12, moth missing as well. Another four needle fighters crash down around where Timeout and the others are, deploying a dozen more of the drones all with 30' of the group. Two more needle fighters land in the street further to the east, each releasing a swarm of a dozne of the flying insect like drones.

XEROX'd by Fox Multi-Girl Spending Multi-Girl’s 5 PP (and making some updates in the fluff): 3 PP to add 1 rank to Duplication (up to 10 ranks): Duplication 10 (PL 10 duplicate with 132PP/150PP; Extras: Heroic; Power Feats: Mental Link, Sacrifice) [32 PP] Spending 2 PP on Feats: Another rank of Luck (up to 2) And Benefit: (Fame – Rock Star) Here are the portions of her sheet that are changed (and her tag needs to be updated that she is PL 10 now):

Okay, time for all the rolls Hounds 8 left: all fail their reflex saves. DC 22 toughness saves: TK: 26, 20, 19 (second two had bruises), so one not hurt (now), the other two get another bruise. Telepaths: 8, 14, 9, 6, 20, so with current injuries, that is four out and one taking another bruise. Boran Lts: One not paralyzed badly misses his reflex save, the paralyzed one auto misses. Toughness saves: 21 and 13, both pick up a bruise, the second is now also dazed. Hunters 8: One actually makes the Reflex check! Toughness saves: 23, 29, 17, 30, 22, 11, 14, Some very resilient mecha there. Last two go out. So five bound one not bound. Tough Aliens 2: 16 and 21, one bound, one only entangled. Bound tough save: 18, he's out. I will just say this deals with all the remaining troopers (there were not that many left).

Multi-Girl Bernadette was caught slightly off guard when Vik suddenly stood up and gave her a big hug. She tensed for a moment, then relaxed and gave Vik a hug back. When the other girl finally let go, the redhead had a tear down one side of her face as well and was surprised to see the tears in Vik’s eyes. "Yer secret is safe with me." The Irish teen replied, managing a slight grin before listening to Vik mention her own experience with what Bernadette was going through. "Well, actually, most o' those I have spoken with since yesterday have actually not tried ta say they know what it's like." Bernadette began. "But, I get what you mean." "It is like a hollow emptiness inside." She then continued, taking a seat on another beach. "When it happened, I wasn' really able ta process it. We were in the middle o' the f@#&in' 1993 Terminus Invasion an' I needed ta keep goin' ta protect my friends an' the younger students that were with us. But now….it isn' quite as bad as it was last night, but it's still there." The redhead wiped away some tears as she went on. "I mean, there is a lot we don' fully understand about my duplicates. What if I have lost part o' me soul? Will I continue ta lose pieces o' it if this happens again? An'…it's not somethin' I make a big deal about, but I’m Catholic, can I really be in God's grace if I am not whole?"

It was the latter (they were attacking the one already damaged).

Timeout Lawrence frowned slightly as Doctor Deviation moved up away from them and unleased some of his experiments to attack them. The villain tried to play on the expectation of their compassion, which was honestly a rather effective strategy, even more so with Parker. Dodging aside one of the experimental soldiers as she closed with him, Lawrence took a step back and glanced around to see where everyone was in the room. "I rather doubt you actually have any concern for the wellbeing of your experiments." He called out to the purple clad villain. "Fortunately, I have means of dealing with them that does not require actually injuring them." With that he extended one hand and a pulse of temporal energy erupted out from the teenager. As was always the case, the temporal energy washed harmlessly around his friends and the woman they had rescued before, while attempting to strike all the experimental soldiers and Doctor Deviation himself.

Timeout will try his Paralyze attack and hit all the soldiers and Doctor D (assuming they are all within 250' of him). But I doubt a 15 is going to do it. (on the off chance it does, DC 20 Will save) Actually, decided to spend a HP to reroll: 23, much better.

@TheAbsurdist The Omegadrone fails its toughness save, so you get it before it attacks you. Get an IC up please.

GM "I realize that." Visor grunted in response to the Legion near him as he stepped away from the Multi-Girl duplicate that had kicked him in the stomach. "But this Star Khan can apparently fly, so unless we do something to deal with that we might not get far." The villain focused on the armored alien, firing one of his energy beams at the young Star Khan. Kinarr turned towards the attack, raising one gauntleted hand that was struck by the blast, which deflected harmlessly away from him, hitting the ground nearby and blasting a sizable hole in the pavement. He then considered Stormcrow and his request to deal with the woman dressed in orange. "A mentat? Indeed a dangerous foe." He replied with a slight nod. He then quickly flew over to Mindfire to take a swing at her, but the redheaded villainess was able to dodge aside as she turned her focus to Kinarr. "Oh, aren't you a cute one. Wouldn't you rather be friends?" She said seductively as her eyes flared with psychic energy and Kinarr's did as well. The young Star Khan gritted his teeth as he fought against Mindfire's attempt to take control of his mind. "Get…out…of…my….mind!" He managed to snarl as he finally shook off the mental attack. Mindfire took a step back away from Star Khan, a look of frustration on her face, mixed with a bit of concern.

Yeah, unless @RocketLord did you want to use one of Stormcrow's HP to make Legion reroll her attack on Shadowborne (as Shadowborne already did a reroll this round and don't think Luck Control allows an additional reroll)

Okay, while waiting for Heri's IC post, will post the OOC for the next group of bad guys and Star Khan Visor will attack Star Khan, hitting with a 25 But the attack glances off Star Khan’s impervious. He will fly over to attack Mindfire, missing with a 16. Mindfire will try to Mind Control Star Khan, with a 28 on her power check Star Khan gets a 30 on his will save and resists!

He rolls almost as badly as he can and only gets a 33, pinned and helpless!

Yes, make your Grapple check @Heritage

Okay, guess I will have Lawrence try to Time Stop the drone, that is a DC 18 Reflex save.

Tsunami "Some distance away?" Giang asked her eyes seemingly distant as she focused on detecting the various pipes flowing with water throughout the building. "I can do that." The young woman then focused on some of the water mains and fire suppression system lines at the far end of the factory. Seizing control of the water inside, Giang caused it to strain against the valves holding it in check from flowing freely through various spigots and sprinklers. She was able to cause the water pressure to build up to such a degree that the water soon forced its way through the check valves, warping them and then began to erupt freely from the now unblocked openings. In moments, there were several different significant water leaks at various points along the far end of the factory, each on different water lines. "There, have gotten things started. It may take a few moments before anyone realizes what is wrong." She stated, looking to see that Wrack was ready to start moving.

Multi-Girl Bernadette frowned slightly as Dr. Macedon called out after the cat-girl and mentioned that things appeared to have taken a turn for the worse with the Magic Mesa. "Oh bloody hell." She muttered as she summoned one of her duplicates, who popped into existence next to her. Looking over to Baz and Vueriz, the Irish teen stated. "You heard the doctor, let's get goin.' Stay together an' be ready fer anythin'." With that the original Bernadette started forward after Dr. Macedon, while her duplicate moved to be behind the younger teens, gesturing for them to get moving.

Multi-Girl The club remained dark for a few moments after the third song ended, Bernadette smiling slightly at the cheers and yells from the crowd. Then, suddenly more lights illuminated the stage once more, as Summer (who was back holding her guitar), started the first rapid cords of the next song, immediately joined by a rapid, steady beat from the drummer. As the music began, Bernadette had started moving along the front of the stage, bobbing her head to the beat for the initial few moments of the song before she began to sing…. I don’ give a damn ‘bout my reputation Livin’ in the past, it’s a new generation A girl can do what she wants ta do an’ that’s what I’m gonna do As she sang, Bernadette continued to move and dance across the stage, both her movements and singing matching the upbeat rhythm of the song. An’ I don’ give a damn ‘bout my bad reputation Oh no (no, no, no, no), not me (me, me, me, me) An’ I don’ give a damn ‘bout my reputation Never said I wanted ta improve my station An’ I’m only doin’ good when I’m havin’ fun An’ I don’ have ta please no one An’ I don’ give a damn ‘bout my bad reputation Oh no, (no, no, no, no) not me, (me, me, me, me) Oh noooo!, (no, no, no, no), Not meeeee! (me, me, me, me) I don’ give a damn ‘bout my reputation I’ve never been afraid o’ any deviation An’ I don’ really care if you think I’m strange I ain’ gonna change An’ I’m never gonna care ‘bout my bad reputation Oh no, (no, no, no, no) not me, (me, me, me, me) Oh nooooooo!, (no, no, no, no), Not meeeeeeee! (me, me, me, me) Oh! Bernadette stopped singing as Summer and the rest of the band continued to play with an increased tempo as the redhead stretched her arms out to spin around in the center of the stage a few times before stopping to begin singing once more. An’ I don’ give a damn ‘bout my reputation The world’s in trouble, there’s no communication An’ everyone can say what they wanna say It never gets better, anyway So why should I care about a bad reputation, anyway? Oh no, (no, no, no, no) not me, (me, me, me, me) Oh nooooo!, (no, no, no, no), Not meeeee! (me, me, me, me) I don’ give a damn ‘bout my bad reputation You’re livin’ in the past, it’s a new generation An’ I only feel good when I got no pain An’ that’s how I’m gonna stay An’ I don’ give a damn ‘bout my bad reputation Oh no, (no, no, no, no) not me, (me, me, me, me) Oh noooooooo!, (no, no, no, no), Not meeeeeee! (me, me, me, me) Oh noooooooo! (no, no, no, no), Not meeeeeee! (me, me, me, me)

Multi-Girl Bernadette gave a slight chuckle as Vik mentioned what the two of them would likely look like to be able to lift anywhere near as much as they could if they were "normal." Of course, the examples where not exactly what Bernadette would consider normal either. "That’s okay, I'll pass on that." The redhead said with a smirk. She then started helping Vik get 500 pounds onto the bar for the bench press. The Irish teen was quiet as she stepped over to the top of the bench to spot Vik, thinking about what the other girl said about no being a burden and willing to listen. She felt a bit conflicted, on one hand, she still did not know Vik all that well, but…she was a friend and her teammate, and even Charlie had wanted to start with no secrets among the team (other than the ones that were not his to share of course). She also felt a bit guilty about dumping emotion a baggage on Vik, but, how could they really get closer if they kept things from each other. After Vik had done her first set, Bernadette gave her a look, more quiet and a bit…uncertain, than the redhead normally was. "Well, if your shoor you don' mind….late yesterday afternoon, while we were returnin' from Fiji, some o' the other Claremont students an' I ended up in the middle o' somethin' far over our heads. An'…while tryin' ta get through it, I felt one o' me duplicates die." Bernadette felt the cold emptiness inside as she spoke, taking a deep breath to help hold back the tears she felt wanting to form in corners of her eyes.

Multi-Girl Bernadette was quiet as Ryan mentioned not having learned to trust people or making friends. The redhead did not know a lot about his background, and was not the type to pry into things others did not really want to talk about, but there must be something there very different than her own experiences before her powers developed. "Well, if your goin' ta learn ta start trustin' people, this is the place ta do so. You never know when you could be countin' on some in a life or death situation. I mean, you already have had ta do that." When he mentioned his dream of someday being a musician, the Irish teen grinned slightly. "There is more than one way ta reach a goal like that, but sooner or later, in any o’ them, your goin' ta need ta perform fer others, even if it is just those helpin' ya record." "But seriously, Summer was a Senior when I started here, an’ we met in the music program. We stayed in touch after she graduated, so when she wanted ta enter a music competition in Boston over last summer break, she reached out ta me. That was what made us decide ta start our band, an' it has been a wonderful time. A lot o' work, but I wouldn' change a thing."

Multi-Girl Bernadette had her arms tightly (but not too tightly) around Charlie's torso as he guided the Stormchaser down the street. Where it not for the serious reason that had them up in Kingston, the redhead would likely be enjoying it more, not that she needed an excuse to get this too close to Charlie. Instead, she was more focused on his brief summaries of what to possibly expect when they got there. "Well, don' they all sound bloody delightful." She joked with a smirk he could not see. "My options against the twins are likely ta be rather limited." The redhead had heard Vik respond that she was on her way and hoped that more of the team was on the way as well.

Multi-Girl The fight had been slightly blurry chaos around Bernadette as she had tried to clear her head after getting knocked down by one of what seemed to be duplicates of the woman calling herself Legion. Charlie was suddenly there, protecting her and keeping them from being able to continue hitting her while she was down. And then suddenly there was the tall armored figure standing over her stopping one of the Legion’s attacks and then knocking the duplicate out. The redhead looked up at the figure, still a bit shocked and her head ringing still. And then she saw Vik down and surrounded by Legion duplicates, and Pol take a hit from the hulking armored villain. She scowled in anger and heard Charlie telling her to get back into things. "Right." She stated firmly, quickly rolling onto her back and in a fluid motion, kipping back up to her feet. "Thanks fer the save." She said to the young Star Khan with a small smile before glancing over to Charlie and giving him a warmer smile of thanks. The Irish then leapt towards the middle of the street, to a spot more or less at the center of all the villains and her friends. And then there were nearly a dozen redheads, rushing and leaping in every direction towards the gathered villains, while the original moved over to one of the Legion standing over Ghule. Bernadette and her duplicates unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks aimed at the various villains. One duplicate leapt up to deliver a kick to the Legion duplicate next to Shadowborne, but the Legion managed to roll with the hit and came back up seemingly unharmed. The other Legion duplicates did not fare as well. One of the ones over Ghule took a hit and stumbled back a few steps, hurt but otherwise fine. The other two over Ghule were sent flying, slamming hard into the wall of the laser tag warehouse a short distance away, dazed, but not yet out of the fight. The two that Stormcrow had been facing were similarly sent flying, each hitting parked cars and similarly falling to the ground dazed. Another redheaded duplicate delivered a kick to Visor that caused him to stumble slightly as well. However, the punch aimed at Mindfire glanced off a psychic barrier that protected the villainess, similar to how Shadowborne’s attack had been deflected. One of the Irish teen's duplicates put herself between Shift and Big Horn, delivering a powerful right hook that actually caused the large man's head to snap to the side as he stumbled a step before he recovered and looked down at the redhead. He had clearly felt that hit. The Legion duplicate near Shadowborne immediately launched a counterattack, jumping into the air and bringing her staff down to hit the shadowy heroine. Down on the street, the Legion still standing near Ghule focused her attention on Multi-Girl, grinning slightly. "Not bad, but not quite good enough." She said as she quickly swung her staff around. Multi-Girl managed to get her left arm up to protect her head, but she took the impact on her left shoulder, feeling a painful sting. Two more Legion stepped out of the back of the overturned armored transport Mindfire had been in. One of them rushing forward to attack Stormcrow. "So you're the leader huh? They able to function if we take you down?" She asked as she swung her staff at him, but Stormcrow was easily able to deflect the attack. The Legion remaining next to Mindfire and Visor had her staff ready as she glanced over to Visor briefly. "We need to try to get clear." Meanwhile, the four Legion that had been knocked to the ground (after hitting a wall or parked car) all seemed to clear their heads, ready to get back into the fight.
