Just as his fingers started to give out, Tony felt a pair of hands grab his wrists. The added strength helps Tony roll up and over the edge. Laying on his back with his eyes closed, Tony breathes out a sigh, "Thanks man....." He was getting too old for this stuff....he was not young anymore. As he opened his eyes, Tony notices that it was Joey that pulled him back over the edge...glancing around, he spies that James is now facing three of the droids by himself. "#@$%#@....James roll away!" Tony shouts as he releases the Darkness within him...causing it to once again blanket the robots and by association, James. Hopefully the man could get away from the threat before they hit him....

Ramming into the robot was oddly satisfying. While the the impact of his flesh hit the hardened metal stung abit, the elation of successs dulled the uncomfortable sensation. But before he could enjoy his newest victory, Tony realized that his was overbalanced and he followed the automaton over the edge, into the pit. "Oh...*#$#^@...NO", screams Tony. Adrenalin will often give people amazing strength...amazing speed...incredible willpower. This time was no exception. Twisting like a circus acrobat, Tony reaches out and just grabs the edge of the pit with his right hand and grasped it with an irongrip. "OOoooomphh" grunts Tony as his body slams into the edge of the pit. Hanging on with one hand, Tony reaches out with his other and grabs the edge. "James? Joey?...Help!" he calls out while hanging....

When the Darkness flowed back into Tony, it felt like a ravenous beast tearing through his very body…seeking it’s hidden prey. Upon it’s release, Tony felt relief…an ease in the gnawing hunger that he is beginning to feel every time he uses this new power. Where ever this ability is from…whatever it is, it was beginning to scare him. Tony was amazed when his wave of Darkness actually stunned the Metal Man. As it wobbled unsteadily upon it’s feet, Tony lunges forward into the Robot…attempting to shoulder it into the yawning pit.

As his Darkness descends, Tony keeps moving towards the yawning hole…ever drawing the automatons towards the pit. Just as he nears the pit, James attempts to body slam one of the robots…and succeeds in staggering it! However, nothing ever goes as planned…the robot that James slammed turns to attack him just as the one enters the Darkness and strikes out at Tony. Too engrossed in following the action with James, Tony almost gets nailed by one of the bots in his darkened gloom. Rolling from the descending arm, Tony rolls in behind the metal man and sweeps his hands forward….Enough of this…I could get killed here…Rolling his hands forward,the Darkness once again flows as a Darkwave of ebon destruction towards the blinded robot...Not Shadowman....try Nightshyft, the Nocturnal Nemesis!

Even as the Darkness rolls from Tony's hands, he falls to one knee. Bracing himself with his right hand on the ground, Tony looks up to see his blast flow into the automaton at exactly the same time as Joey and James each attacked a leg. The results were nothing less than spectacular.... However, when the robot broke down into smaller component parts...animated parts reconfiguring themselves into yet smaller bots, Tony could only hang his head. The last blast took more than just will from him. He was suddenly very tired, as if he ran ten miles in the last three minutes. Grunting with effort, Tony pushed himself from the ground, preparing for the next battle. Just as Tony straightens himself, he spots a man running across the street behind the robots. Try to lure them into the big hole! , the man yells as he runs. Still looking past the robots, Tony spots the large hole that the man is gesturing at, as well as the Cement Truck...Yes....yes I see....that is a good idea... Reaching out again, Tony begins to gather the Darkness, this time feeling the difference between the offensive blast and the cloaking field. Time for some subterfuge...let's see how well these tincans can follow a mass of Darkness...And with that thought, Tony cloaks himself in a mantle of Darkness. With a weary sigh, he starts off for the large hole, trailing the Darkness behind him like a large serpentine body...taunting and enticing the artificial antagonists into following him.

After his initial stun, Tony realizes that A) he just sent a wave of Darkness slamming into a Robot intent on hurting him, and that he better move before said Robot reciprocated. Hit it harder, he says, Tony rolls to his left, reaching downwards again, flowing and swirling the now eager Darkness, Like I even know what I just did?...Still...I wonder? Spinning and twirling, Tony moves his hands in wider circles, reaching out as if to grab more of the Darkness. And this time, he flows the movements in support of each other...as if trying to keep sand in one place...scoop, hold...shove, dig....constant continuous movement. However, Tony adds another element this time...this time he is TRYING to send it in an offensive manner...trying to use it to harm the Robot. And, like a thing alive, the Darkness seems to sense this...it begins to swirl in a more aggressive manner, eager to be unleashed... Grunting with effort, Tony calls out, "On Three...One...Two...THREE!"Upon the last syllable, Tony's hand roll forward in upward sweeping claws, and springing from them, the Darkness rolls towards the Robot...this time more violently...hungrier...deadlier...

"Aim your darkness at it's head," says James...OK...not sure I can do that...Hell, still not sure how I can "call" this Darkness into being at all... While the others spring in opposite directions, Tony stands his ground. As the Robotic Menace continues it direct path towards Tony, the Man from another Dimension begins to reach downward, as if grabbing something about his knees. Slowly, as if rising by some mysterious tide, the Darkness at Tony's feet grows is mass, swirling as if alive. As it does, Tony begins to move...flowing glides and sweeping motions, similar to Tai Chi movements. As his hands flow and swirl, he seems to gather the Darkness, pushing and guiding it in motions toward the Robot. God...this is harder that it looks...like trying to grab water... Suddenly, Tony abruptly shifts his swirling motion to a sudden upperward push directed at the Metal Menace, trying to force a mass of Darkness to engulf it's head. Leaving his hands, the Darkness flows forward like a wave of water...and like a wave of water, it gathers speed and force...racing along, for all the world, like a Tenebrous Tsunami...OH WOW....oh my God...Tony stands still for a moment, clearly stunned as what he had expected to be a flowing, ephmereal mass, now becomes an ebon mass of destruction.

As Joey shouts, Tony can't help but cringe. His normal nature is one of quiet observation, this abrupt and loud declaration is very alarming. But, it does have the appeal of being very direct and the quickest way to find out. While this may be a quick solution, it is also something that causes Tony's new ability to try a rear it's head again. Like an angry animal, the shadow that follows at the groups feet twists and grows, swelling briefly to their knees. Once again, Tony exerts his will over the miasma, grasping tendrils of it in his fists and forcing it down. However, while controlling it is becoming easier, the Darkness has suddenly attracted the attention of one of the nearby bots. Swivelling it's top part around, a vaguely humanoid techno-construct begins it's march towards the trio...it's left armature swinging up and looking menacingly like some sort of gun. Even as the Darkness recedes to his ankles, Tony glances up above the crowd and sights the approaching android with his green glowing eyes, " OH CRAP....guys?..."
