Re: Chapter 02: Nature's Grudge
Team Crey: Bamzor, Shelly, Maximus
Shelly looks at Bamzor blankly for a moment. Then giggles and says, "Leave it to you to be prepared with games. I'm SO having you do your thing for my birthday."
Meanwhile, Eli directs Max. Thankfully, it's not one of those "gee, in retrospect, that should have been obvious" moments. The device gets shut down. Eli says, "I can tell you how to reverse it, but... that would get messy and there's a chance you all would get coated in that mutagen slime. However, if you put it on a timer and then teleport to base, or simply run out of there like there's no tomorrow, we could try that..?"
Team Freakshow: Raymond, Raichel, Batsmash
As usual, it's gratifying for Raichel to occasionally stun the boss, even if briefly. However, the boss seems to finally get annoyed enough at Raichel to start zapping her right back instead of focusing on Raymond or Batsmash.
As usual, while Raichel may seem like an unstoppable tank when compared to a normal civilian, she is made of paper compared to her allies and falls from the air. She peeks and eye as electricity courses over her and aims her hand at the boss, zapping it with her final power, draining all her energy before collapsing unconscious.
That didn't down the boss, but it helped a lot. Batsmash and Raymond pull one of these "smash him back, uppercut into the air, then jump and slam him into the ground" combos that lands the enemy unconscious. However, two seconds later, the guy starts resurrecting. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!
Team Circle of Thorns: Emerald, Alloy, Mittens, Mocha
Emerald slowly peeks her eyes open, revealing bright green light in place of eyes. Her voice sounds echoed and coated in a kind of fiery sound as she speaks, "...don't be rediculous... this is still.... only a fraction.... of what Hammidon was absorbing..."
She grits her teeth. "It HURTS! If I don't discharge soon, I... will die... is the portal ready?" she looks over at the portal.
Team Longbow Freakshow: Liberty, Gadget Gun, Jake
Liberty says, "On it." and joins Jake and Gadget in mission teleporting. "please get there in time..." Liberty mutters to herself.
The trio arrive at the mission which, thankfully, is easily navigated since no freakshow are blocking their trail. Which was admittedly easy enough to predict since a team has already mowed through this place. Within seconds, Liberty, Gadget and Jake come across the scene where Raichel is down, Batsmash is near dead, and Raymond is about half dead.
Liberty wastes no time and charges in, "Help is here, guys!" the little girl yells, catching the boss's attention. And the attention of Raymond, who already mentioned back at the meeting about how dangerous this is for children. Now what he was afraid of was preparing to happen.
