Bamzor

  It is fortunate that despite their design style and infestation, toxic damage is not A Thing when it comes to Scorpinoids.  "I'm expecting a few Infested Warwalkers to come out of nowhere considering I didn't need to ask for help."  He looks over to Shelly, "Find what you're looking for yet?"

---

Batsmash

  "Sooo...  Is knocking them into the energy beam an option?  Or would that be too brutally efficient even for us?"  Batsmash can think outside of just his namesake.  He can think of hitting people INTO things with a Bat, as opposed to just hitting them WITH a bat.  VARIETY.

---

Alloy

  "No backups, for reasons I will not go into."  Of course he'd be a sad excuse for a robot if he couldn't take what C3PO could.  Either way, Emerald has ALL OF THE HULA HOOPS.  Being as durable as reality is willing to let Emerald be will have to do.

  Meanwhile, Melty tromps over to Mittens and Mocha to add to the 'Starting with M' carnage (If you count the sound, Emerald makes 4).  "..."  Melty says hi.  Melty also drives a succubus into the floor like a railroad spike.

---

Gadget

  Multiple sources and camera angles should hopefully help later regarding Dunca's crazy.  "Considering she's far more familiar with the organization-" Not to mention actually dressed for it, "Liberty should probably handle that."   Gadget borrows from the Generic527823 (dem copyright namechanges) playbook and uses his web grenades to further restrain the downed Duncan.

  "I wonder if he got his job because of his name?"  considering Ms. Liberty's last name and all that.

Team Crey: Bamzor, Shelly, Maximus
Shelly's head peaks into the room. "Found it! This way, guys!"

Shelly shows the other two a spot where there is a HUGE vat of biological goo and it's all running through glass tubes FROM the vat and into a portal in the wall.

---

Team Freakshow: Raymond, Raichel, Batsmash
Raichel says, "Even if killing was in our repertoire, _{which it isn't}, there's no telling what effect that would have. It might turn the freak into a big baddy we couldn't handle."

She looks around. "Help Raymond smash the badguy and I'll look for the controls." she flies off. Great, Raichel, she thinks to herself, How will you even RECOGNIZE the controls, much less know how to use them?

---

Team Circle of Thorns: Emerald, Alloy, Mittens, Mocha
"No time for detailed conversation on the morality of backed up personalities, but I do have time to thank you for giving me the hoops, and for sending Melty to help Mittens. Thanks, Melty!" Emerald has hoola-hoops. That would have been awesome on its own. But then she goes all electric form and becomes a burning effigy of pure energy. Her voice, now distorted by the burning air around her, speaks out, "GIVE ME ALLLL YOUR POWERRRR...."

She activates the runes with Alloy and the portal's "send" mode turns into "receive" mode. Emerald gets blasted with energy from the portal and seems to redirect some of it by shooting lightning and energy waves at the CoT invading the room.

"No! You fool! You can't do this!" is the only retort the CoT have.

Emerald explodes with enough force to knock over everyone in the room and in the caves connected to the room. The energy beam has stopped coming through, and Emerald is changed back to normal before collapsing on the ground.

---

Team Longbow: Liberty, Gadget Gun, Jake
Liberty looks at Jake. "G's right. I'll do it." and she goes to use the modulator to send out a command to evacuate the base, while asking the techies to come to the command room. "Liberty Striker will be waiting there for you. Do as she instructs when you get there." she then turns off the com. "Let's go meet the techs. Far as they know, we are allies."

Team Crey: Bamzor, Shelly, Maximus

Max nods to Bamzor, figuring on much the same expectations.  He then follows Shelly to the goo room and does a quick scan for traps or villains.  He then flies in and begins searching for an off-switch or power plug.

"Stay alert.  Could still be danger around any corner."

---

Team Freakshow: Raymond, Raichel, Batsmash

"She has a point," Raymond agrees, taking another swing at the freak of a freak.

Seeing as Batsmash's stick of wood does more single target damage than the brute's titan mace, Raymond focuses mostly on trips and like maneuvers while taunting to keep the enemy's attacks focused on him.

---

Team Circle of Thorns: Emerald, Alloy, Mittens, Mocha

Mits is of course impressed.

"Nice one, Melty!" she laughs when the demon gets hammered.

Of course, she's impressed with Emmy too when knocked off her feet by the kersplosion in spite of her electric armor's anti-knockback power.

"Whee!"

She hops back to her feet and surveys the fallen.  If there are any baddies still conscious, she'll work aggressively to change that.  Either way, she plans to check on her allies.

"You conscious, Emmy?  Mocha?  Alloy?"

---

Team Longbow: Liberty, Gadget Gun, Jake

"Good point," Jake agrees, handing the phone over to Lib.

To GG's question he head-shakes.

"I doubt it.  Considering Longbow is already criticized enough as it is to invite nepotism allegations."

He nods to Lib and has the defeated Duncan Medivaced to jail before heading for the meeting place.  "We should get our story streight for the techs.  Does, 'Duncan left in a hurry after reading a message from Ms. Liberty' sound good?"

Bamzor

  "It would likely be highly irresponsible to simply break the tubes.  But I suspect before long that may be the required option if we want to put a stop to this in time."

---

Batsmash  Raymond's blender of doom did tend to outpace Batsmash on the DPS end of things.  Unless Batsmash got lucky and say, got a critical on his Clobber...  I said got lucky and... darn it.  "Thif guy if tuf."

  Batsmash, demonstrating eating whole fighting being awkward. Chew your Reds with your mouth closed.

---

Alloy

  Emerald was clearly at a disadvantage from dramatically floating off the ground, or something (Plus Bamzor is embarrassed to admit getting knocked on his robotic behind from some of the more extreme attacks anyways).  Dramatic scenery explosions tend to be Repulse instead of Knockback anyway.

 

  Alloy picks himself up, and decides it's best to Try Resuscitate First and ask questions later regarding Emerald.  "Hitpoint Cap Buffs, worth the effort."  The maddening, maddening effort.

---

Gadget Gun  "That depends, how much of his declerations of mutiny do we want to share just now while we're busy?"

Team Crey: Bamzor, Shelly, Maximus
Shelly looks around for a control panel. "Why are these things always so complicated? Why can't people make the controls *simple* like with a car? You know... a nob that controls forward or reverse rather than a dozen nobs that each control nothing?"

Max and Bamzor are having the same luck as Shelly. What control panels they do find don't make much sense. "Let's call base and ask Eli's help."

On the bright side, EVERYONE in the SG has been to so many freakin' missions, that they know for a fact which are actual controls and which are not.

---

Team Freakshow: Raymond, Raichel, Batsmash
The freak is proving a difficult fight (he's an arch villain). He occasionally stuns Raymond or Batsmash. Thankfully, they have gotten him to hate them enough that even when both of them are stunned, he ignores Raichel.

Raichel finds the controls. She stares and blinks. Then pulls the single lever down. The beam stops shooting and the entire machine shuts down. "There's only ONE control! On or off!" she reports to her fighting friends. "Oh well..."

She takes to the air and starts joining in the fight, shooting lightning at the freak.

---

Team Circle of Thorns: Emerald, Alloy, Mittens, Mocha
Emerald and Mocha do not respond. Alloy's resuscitation causes Emerald to start breathing again, though it bears mentioning that getting close to Emerald causes hairs to stand on end, and touching her will give a nasty jolt. A sheen of crystalline emerald-green seems to pulse over Emerald every 2 seconds.

Between Alloy and Mittens, there are only 2 wakies left. One used on Mocha brings the little chocolate-coffee fluffball back to consciousness. "...what hit me?"

---

Team Longbow: Liberty, Gadget Gun, Jake
Liberty says, "Allies don't speak ill of allies. So if they ask, yeah... Jake's idea works. Duncan had an urgent case to attend."

When the group has a story worked out, they meet up with the techies. Who seem to work with the group without issue and don't seem to doubt that Duncan would ask for a sudden reverse of the power surge. Soon, Longbow is sucking power back from Hammidon.

Team Crey: Bamzor, Shelly, Maximus

Maximus turns on his headband mounted web cam and Skypes Eli.  Oh the marvels of super high-tech hero gear.

"We need your help figuring out these controls, Eli."

---

Team Freakshow: Raymond, Raichel, Batsmash

"Well we'll just have to be tougher!" Raymond grunts as he starts up a new combo, "Though I'm running out of inspirations.  Hopefully Raichel will be able to turn the tide."

---

Team Circle of Thorns: Emerald, Alloy, Mittens, Mocha

Mittens claps and hops up and down before answering Mocha in a Marvin-the-Martian voice, "It was a big kaboom!  The earth-shattering kaboom I've longed for!"

She rushes over to Emmy then grins when her hair starts to fwoof.

"Kitty fur is famous for static, but i think our favorite epic fox is more supercharged at the moment than any kitty ever was.  I wonder if this means she can buff allies and/or vaporize the Hamidon with a huge energy beam!"

---

Team Longbow: Liberty, Gadget Gun, Jake

"Thanks, everyone," Jake says, letting out a sigh of relief, "Here's hoping we were in time.  Well if the world doesn't come to an end, I'll be sure that Miss Liberty hears of your contribution to mission success."

He gets on the SG channel.  "Longbow team successful.  Power flow reversed!  Anyone need any backup?"

"Fighting an arch villain!" Raymond answers, "We'll take any backup we can get!"

"Be right there!"

Bamzor

  "I have prepared for such an occasion."<goldenrod>  Bamzor pulls out three square objects and three rod shaped objects.  <goldenrod>"I brought Technobabble Bingo;trade& cards and Bingo markers."

Batsmash

  Batsmash is particularly impressed by the Tank, considering he can normally get right back up from a viscous curb stomping without the usual wobbles most suffer through.  Of course, it just means high grade climax boss effects merely inconvenience him.  Poor Raymond is probably having to turn his lightning field back on over and over.

  "Grenades aimed at us can't hit her up in the air, She should turn out okay unless she falls back into the habit of shooting people close enough to tickckle the-" ELECTRIC HAMMER HANDS "...That was my favorite clavicle..."

Alloy

  Alloy picked up proper medical side training for a reason, but even that only helps so much with the rate people faceplant some days.  "Touching me may or may not be worse than a doorknob at this juncture then.  Emerald, speak in an voice echoing with the infinite cosmos if you can hear me.  Or the closest approximation."

Gadget

  "The end of the world is no excuse to stop shooting evil in the face.  Though it not ending is of course, always preferable."  Gadget follows Jake's example and starts on his way to Shoot More Evil, though he's saving that Mission teleport for the inevitable time sensitive World Is Doomed In Ten Minutes situation.

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.

Team Crey: Bamzor, Shelly, Maximus

Max tries to calm his nerves while following Eli's instructions, worried that one false move will spell disaster.  The sound of Shelly's laughter goes a long way toward lightening his mood.

"We should throw a victory party when this is all over," he suggests.

To Eli's question he answers, "Good idea.  We want to weaken Hamidon as much as possible.  Just tell us what to do."

---

Team Freakshow: Raymond, Raichel, Batsmash

One of the problems with trying to titan weapon brute tank an arch villain without a healer is trying to maintain rage, attack chain, self heals, inspirations, hasten ans it's endurance crash let alone taking arch villain level endurance draining attacks to the face leaves little room for hogging aggro by spamming taunt.  It's a dirty little secret of those who aren't invincible to try and allow allies to share some of the punishment lest they fall in the first few minutes of the fight.

But doing his job well doesn't stop Raymond from feeling rotten when Raichel falls.  Or when a bunch of kids show up to pull his fat out of the fire.

Robots!  Lasers!  Missiles!  Super fast invisible kid genius!  Resurrected Raichel!  Leaf heals, temp HP, and regen!  Grassy endurance buff!  Mushroom debuff!  For those not used to him, the arrival of Jake could be considered rather... weird.

"I have inspirations of all sorts if anybody wants them."

---

Team Circle of Thorns: Emerald, Alloy, Mittens, Mocha

Score one for Alloy for predicting the sound of Emmy's voice.

"EPIC!" Mittens exclaims, snapping a picture of Super Emerald.  "Sorry about the ouchie, Emmie, but I doubt we'll be able to complete the portal before you kersplode.  And I'm guessing using the KO CoTs as targets is out of the question.  BUT!  With Mocha here I can switch over to demon summoner and open you a portal to Hades.  You're welcome to unleash your devastation there."
This message was last edited by the player at 02:24, Thu 20 June 2013.

Bamzor

  "I promise I won't even charge you, unless you really liked static cling."   He pays more attention to the just as important topic of world saving.  "Even if those Warwalkers have a bad habit of getting infested, I'm still much less likely to be adversely effected by a genetic mutagen for obvious reasons."

Batsmash

  Just shy of death, the team blaster faceplanted, angry enemies trying to smash everything.  Dejavu for the millionth time for Batsmash.  And now he's healthy!... And now he's near death... And now he's healthy!  You get the idea.

Gadget

  There were days where you waited to make sure someone else had all the Aggro, and then there were days where you just pulled the trigger on everything and worried about the personal risks later.  It was a mixed blessing that while unloading bullets, fire, and explosives, his Gun Drone was what got electrocuted so hard it exploded instead of himself.

  At least he still had the Laser Drones (despite using Plasma attacks) harassing the boss.

Alloy

  "She could always shoot it up into space, nevermind that we are deep in an underground cityscape, she's still probably reach it from here...  Granted that would only work out if we were under an empty chunk of the surface and not populated city.  Would you consider it safe to travel through a time portal in this state?  Considering there's a whole lot of nothing beyond the Ouroborus platform there."

OOC: Kombat Klown was one of Mako's champions characters.  I don't know for a fact the machinegun wielding clown did birthdays, but it would just figure.

Team Crey: Bamzor, Shelly, Maximus
Shelly giggles some more and goes to give Bamzor's leg a hug. "I cling to you even without a charge, Bamzor."

Eli gives directions on creating a timer that connects to the "reverse" circuit, using the computer console that's in front of Max. Within a minute, Eli says, "Perfect, that's all you need to do. Now push the button and get back to base."

Shelly waits for Max to push the button before she begins using Base Teleport. The countdown cuts it a little close, but the trio is able to teleport to base just as they saw the portal begin spewing mutagen back! Eli seems to be waiting at the base entrance with his fists to his chest and shoulders shrugged as if he was holding his breath. When he sees the trio, he immediately presses a button and a quarantine plastic tube comes slamming down around them, scans them, then lifts up.

"Sorry for the startle... I had to make sure you weren't radioactive or anything..."

---

Team Freakshow: Raymond/Jake, Raichel/Liberty, Batsmash/Gadget
Liberty frowns and activates Unstoppable. This power does NOT screw around. Liberty is up in the freak's face alongside Raymond and seems to not take any damage. She activates taunt and then leans back, planting a foot on the ground to have a surface so hovering won't soften the blow, twirls her fist around, and WHAM! Knockout Blow! The freak boss goes flying 5 feet into the air! Only for Raymond's titan weapon to play Freak Baseball!

Let's not forget Gadget's caltrops. When the freak falls, he falls hard and on a bunch of caltrops! It's like a power that inserts keys into your opponent's pants for them to land on! Oh sure his pants are made of metal, but DETAILS! That never stopped caltrops from hurting and slowing enemies down!

The boss actually goes down for good this time, his parts frizzing and sparking once in a while.

Raichel slowly gets up. "...is he DONE now?"

---

Team Circle of Thorns: Emerald, Alloy, Mittens, Mocha
Emerald winces, tears falling down her cheeks and hands balled into fists. "Make that portal work NOW! Darn it! One fourth of the power he was GOING to have is now mine..." one of her fists un-balls like the power shooting through it was too much to keep balled into a fist anymore and a wave of force throws that half of the room up against the walls. If those CoT weren't unconscious before, they would be now.

Emerald looks at the portal, her eyes shooting eyebeams at the portal. The runes start to correct themselves. "Get everyone to meet here fast! This is our entry to Hammidon! This is the way we can get to him and stop him!"

Her teeth are clenched as her earlier helpless looking tears are starting to look more like tears of pure rage. Her voice starts to sound like someone turned up the effects dial on whatever effects were already being used on her voice. "HAMMIDON! I'M GOING TO RIP YOU APART! YOU WILL KNOW PAIN!"

She's clearly beginning to lose it.

Team Crey: Bamzor, Shelly, Maximus

Max smiled at Shelly's continued adorableness and it helped take the pressure off the task of following Eli's instructions.  Back at base he blink-blinks at the decon tube but hardly has time to feel unhappy about it before it's done scanning him.  He shrugs at Eli.

"Thank you for taking precautions.  I wouldn't want to get anyone sick.  And thanks for the help with the timer."

---

Team Freakshow: Raymond/Jake, Raichel/Liberty, Batsmash/Gadget

Jake look over at Gadget Gun and says, "Let's get started."

He heads to the control panel and immediately gets to work setting...
(More to come later)

...the controls to reverse, drawing upon recent experience doing so at the Longbow base.

Raymond offers a hand-up to Rai.  "Yeah I think so."

He surveys the team and exhales sharply.  Partly in relief, partly in exasperation that a couple of kids risked their necks to help pull his bacon out of the fire.  But the fact remains that he and the others are better off for it.

"Good job, everyone," he commends, "And thanks for helping out."

---

Team Circle of Thorns: Emerald, Alloy, Mittens, Mocha

"Time portal!"  Mits exclaims, "Alloy you're a genius!"

Beep beep beep fwoosh!  She summons an Oboros portal and vanishes.  Through the miracle of non-linear wibbley-wobbley, timey-wimey technology, Mits informs the SG that they should assemble at Emerald's location (Mocha will be providing recall) to ready the attack on Hamidon, travels back in time to gather up a bunch of magical foci and books, brushes up on her studies on how to quickly patch up a magical portal, then returns to the very moment she left prepared to finish up the portal in short order.

Bamzor

  Bamzor doesn't bring up the various sorts who either use or are Radioactive.  "Tracking Hammidon goo on the carpet is probably frowned upon, even if tossing it into a storage bin next to the luck charms is acceptable."

Batsmash and Gadget

  Batsmash shrugs, "I could just start hitting them to see if they twitch more than usual."  Gadget has a very scientific way to determine if the Shocker Tank is down for the count, he attempts to set a Timebomb.

  He can never put those down successfully unless it's entirely pointless, so if it works then he's down for the count!... And next to a bomb.  Whatever.

Alloy

  Alloy looks to Mittens's departure and more educated return "The Wyld Stallynz maneuver also works, I'm sure the Menders will appreciate us not suddenly obliterating the landing platform with my first plan."  As Alloy gets to work helping the Mittens with the portal,  Melty walks over to offer Emerald a Hug, and words of encouragement. "..."  Well, a Hug and awkward silence of encouragement.

Team Crey: Bamzor, Shelly, Maximus
Shelly says, "Nevermind that, Eli... where are the others so we can go help them?"

Eli quickly guides the trio to the teleporter so they can get to Emmy swiftly.

Assuming Bamzor and Max agree to it, teleportation is GO!

---

Team Freakshow: Raymond/Jake, Raichel/Liberty, Batsmash/Gadget
Jake discovers what Raichel did; there is no reverse. The controls are merely set to "activate" the discharge. The only way they could hope for a reverse would be the same as turning a taser into a battery. Sure it could be done, but it would take parts and more importantly, time.

Liberty looks up at Raymond. "Always, Raymond." she says with a cute smile, reaching to punch his fist. She hears the signal from Mittens and says, "You heard Mittens; Let's get going!"

Raichel joins and ports.

---

Team Circle of Thorns: Emerald, Alloy, Mittens, Mocha
Mocha is calling all heroes in the SG, basically reiterating what Mittens said just in case anyone missed it. "This is Mocha, calling all members of Redemption! Join alliance so you can all Mission Teleport. Those without Mission Teleport are to join anyway, report to base immediately and use the base portal Eli configured to teleport to the area where I can then teleport us! Emerald's life depends on your swift answer!"

Emerald, her voice still burning, yet now sounding almost serene, says, "...so this is what Hammidon sees..."

To Melty's hug, Emerald seems to gently hug back out of reflex. Emerald's normal voice is heard quietly, if still kind of echoey, "....thank you, Melty..."

Mocha, standing outside the mission, pulls a complete assemble team for all those who showed up in the zone, but not at mission. Soon, Emerald is surrounded in members of the SG. "You're... all alive..." Emerald comments just as Mittens and Alloy succeed in completing the teleportation circle.

Maximus:

Luck charms and Plutonium.  Hazmat safety is kinda glossed over unless all dangerous salvage is completely self-contained.  Probably best not to think too hard on it.  Max of course joins the others in getting to the mission one way or another.

---

Raymond:

Raymond returns Liberty's fist bump, but not the smile.  He's already trying to figure out what he's going to say at her funeral should he live through this.  Nevermind that there has never been a case in history where it was acceptable  to allow a little girl to rush to her certain death...  there's always a first, right?

He nods and mission ports.

---

Jake:

Jake is torn about helping with the main assault or staying behind to try and finish rigging the controls.  While he's certain that the alliance will need every little bit of help it can get in the final fight with Hamidon, he's also certain that if he can reverse this control it will make a much bigger difference.

"I'm pretty sure I can reverse this in just a few more minutes.  I'll catch up once I'm done."

He then begins to cannibalize one of his robots for the parts he'll need.  Good thing he doesn't get emotionally attached to his combat robots.

---

Mittens:

Hovering magic books, sparkly magic runes, and a laptop with a database full of various Arcane formula: it's all very impressive looking.  Mits works furiously to finish up the ritual with Alloy ASAP, employing any newcomers as they arrive.

"Hold this for me pleasethankyou, Maximus.  I need these candles placed on their corresponding runes, hereyago, Raymond.  Good.  Now I need them lit in the proper order.  Here, take my laptop and follow the order displayed on the screen.  Be sure to say, 'Zumzum zabizabi' as you light 'em.  Anyone here good at dancing?  I've got some incense for you."

Bamzor

  Head for what may be a huge fight after a string of lesser fights?  Sure!  To just leave would be silly.

Batsmash and Gadget

  Batsmash obviously heads for the goal of further smashing.  Gadget meanwhile nods to Jake,  "Good luck, I'm going with the rest in case they need something similar on the other side between the shooting."  Besides, he's always been more hands on... Well, compared to a Mastermind, even if the first word in his name was Gadget.

Alloy

  "I'd say go through the portal in an orderly manner, but that never happens.  Just be ready to come out swinging without hitting a friend upside the head."

As the group gets on the other side of the portal, there is, in fact, Hammidon. Hammidon attacks Emerald like she's some kind of beacon and she laughs maniacally looking only slightly harmed as she then unleashes everything she's got into one nasty blast. It looks to make a visible difference. In video game terms, Hammi just lost half his HP and a decent chunk of his defenses.

But that just means he's fightable rather than garunteed that many would die with no chance for medivac.

Emerald looks dizzy and her color goes back to normal. She wastes no time getting her defenses up, though. "That felt soooo good..." she says with a sigh of relief.

Shelly and Raichel begin blasting Hammi, Shelly with debuffs as quick as possible while the tanks begin to do their thing. "Bathtime, Hammidon!" Within a second or two, Emerald joins back into the fight and goes into the fray!

Of course, the many members of the SG start showing up! The fight seems to be looking up! And just as Hammidon blasts everyone with an AoE (And nearly killing all but those with decent HP/defenses), Angel shows up with a decent number of other superheroes, as if this is what she was busy with. Meanwhile, Jake soon finishes the reverse process for the Freakshow portal...

ZAAAAAAAAP!!!! Hammidon gets even weaker as a beam of electricity gets yoinked from him! This could be a first in history, but Hammidon looks to be taking a pretty nasty beating!

Timothius shows up, having waited in the wings and casts a massive AoE cure, followed by a regeneration buff. Only for Alexis to assist with the healing buffs and such.

The teamwork of the Redemption Supergroup is showing.

Jake nodded to GG.  "Good point.  Contact me if you find something.  Thanks."

When he finally succeeded in reversing the flow, he can't hep but whoop and cheer in celebration.

Meanwhile Max and Raymond take advantage of their fast flight to attack the higher areas of the monster.  Mits figures there's plenty of tanky types so she opts for buffs and damage!  Kinetics!  Fire!  Yay!  When Emmy fires her uber hadouken, Mits cheers her on!

"Wooo!  Awesome!  Nicely done, Emmy!  _{Glad you're still alive.}"

Various other Redemption members show up like Lucky and Kitau and they each contribute what they can.

  Bamzor is using Melty as a club, a club that is punching things.

  Batsmash has put a big nail in his bat for the occasion.

  Gadget Gun... Shoots things, and has floating things that also shoot things.  He's not crazy enough to attempt landmine antics for this.

  Alloy archmage meanwhile, is sticking with Emerald to make sure she's allright between handing out as many pretty sonic hoops as possible.

  OOC: Incidentally, we talking Yo Olde giant Cell Hammidon, or something closer to the Avatar Of Hammidon humanoid monstrosity?

Mittens' comment reminds Emerald of the time she watched herself die. Her other self from another dimension, but still. Not a pleasant memory. She gives a sad smile to Mittens, weakly raising her arm to give a thumb up.

Emerald dizzily looks over to Alloy. "...my friends..." She looks down at her hands and begins twirling them around, creating kinetic energy. "We can DO this!" she yells with determination as her hands slam against Hamidon with a loud crash!

Hamidon proves to be putting up one heck of a fight despite his own buffs being turned against him. This is the hardest thing to beat in all of Paragon and possibly the world.

Back at base, Eli monitors the fight and begins diagnosing Hamidon, looking for further weaknesses and such. Whenever he finds something, he is sure to report it.

Shelly is one of the first of the tough ones to drop. Having been flying with Max, Shelly falls to Hamidon and begins sinking into him unconsciously!

OOC: Tis yon scallywag, ye olde giant amoeba.

"Shelly!" Maximus gasps when he sees his daughter fall.  He kicks in the afterburner and flies over to her to try and pull her free!  "Shelly's down!  Need a revive!"

"I believe Mocha is on recall and revive duty," Mittens answers, "But if needed I brought plenty of bounce backs and various other types of revive."

Raymond continues his smashy-zappy assault, moving away from Shelly, hoping to draw enemy fire away from her as well.  Jake uses base portal, starts raiding the salvage racks, and messages Eli.

"I have a hunch that Hamidon was trying to cover it's bases by building up an immunity to various power origins and developed a way to absorb them.  Chances are the mechanism consists of several specialized organelles each attuned to one of the origins.  If we introduce large-scale nanites into Hamidon, it could deliver an antibiotic tailored to shut down each of those organelles!  If this works, we could shut down it's regeneration!"

  Claims of difficulty hold true thanks to the wonders of disclaimers.  Considering anything else in the running keeps cropping up in alternate dimensions, time periods, or cracks in reality.  Of course even then, none of those had quite this many people involved.

  Bamzor fortunately has a handle on catching Shelly for the usual crazy reasons.  He was already inside Hammidon, because punching his smaller cells to death like the worlds most angry cold medicine commercial... No Bamzor, hurling Shelly like a Javelin out of the gooey innards is not the most gentle rescue method.  Melty makes the catch so hopefully Maximums won't hurl Bamzor all the way to cleveland later.

  Gadget says to Jake,  "Will we need to get in there and ram it into his major cell structures, or will it be small enough to just shoot into them from here?"  You know Jake was onto something good though, because -Regen was all kinds of great in these huge boss fights.

  Batsmash is bashing stray roaming mitochondria the size of cars, while Alloy asks "Will we have to stand back in order to not get our asses completely kicked by the science splashback?"  Bad thoughts about specialty acids against portal generators in Praetoria.

Shelly is caught, tossed, caught again, and given a revive. She opens her eyes to smile at Max and Melty. "Did I miss anything?" she asks before turning her debuffing blasts on Hamidon again.

Meanwhile, Eli considers the message. "You HAVE that many nanites handy for that?" Eli asks, "Of course.. if Emerald's ritual works, we may not need that many anyways. Wasn't Hamidon supposed to get weaker and devolve back to normal?"

Emerald, alongside another powerful punch, says, "Yes!" Now that Eli mentions it, Hamidon has gotten a little smaller. Instead of being the length of 2 football fields, he's only the length of 1.5 football fields. "But he should have been shrinking faster! Jake's idea might be all we need to finish this! Now get it going!"

Mocha, meanwhile, says over chat, "Terribly sorry, Shelly! I was busy reviving Timothius!" No sooner does she say that than the entire alliance feels their health jump up a bit.

Max usually punishes excessive force with a stern talking to, but if a hero hurt his baby girl while trying to rescue her he might just break down in tears.  He tries not to dote over her once she's revived and resumes the assault himself.

"Thanks for the help, everyone."

Raymond is working or smashing stuff with Batsmash.

"I do not have enough person-scale nanites, no," Jake answers, "But the 6' robots I take with me into combat can easily be considered nanites compared to Hamidon, and I have plenty of them.  They only need to be re-purposed.  With a large enough cannon they could be fired into Hamidon, but I don't have something like that handy, so they'll have to be introduced direcly.  As for how explosive Hamidon will be, that depends on the process the specialized organelles use to metabolize the disparate energies it takes in."

"Thanks for reviving Timothius, Mocha!" Mittens cheers, "Thanks for the heals, bro!  Keep up the good work, everyone!  200k inf says Hami totally explodes!"
