The large man stumbles as the bladed fan connects Then stops as he takes the boot to the face. Not even fazed by the second attack, in fact it almost seemed as it "snapped him out of it" He growls bring his lower right arm to punch at the Woman.

The second man's Arm suddenly shifts into a long blade and he rushes Hunter slashing wildly.

"Decisions, decisions," Eric thought and then noticed the blade come out of forearms.

"That's it." Staying in flight, Steel Thunder lets loose with the pulse laser on his right arm.

"Tag your it!"

Hunter unknowing of the man floating above them rushed forward hearing the blast at the last second. In a flurry of motion he drops his bow drawing one of his blades and blocking the blast. The sword takes the brunt of it but it breaks under the pressure hitting Hunter in the chest, not doing any serious damage but enough to stun him.

"Damn idiot!" Steel thunder called," I'm trying to help you."

/ooc in case I wasn't clear in the last post, I was shooting at Armory, NOT Hunter.  I doubt that they were that close together.  gm call?

They were running towards eachother. I apologize if thats not clear enough in their posts. Also Hunter's powers are increased speed agility and reflexes so his reactions arene't too much of a stress.

and so theres not any confusion I play hunter.

/ooc ok thanks just wanted to make sure it wasn't me not being clear.

/ic

Steel Thunder puts himself in between Hunter and the incoming sword.

Micheal screamed over the radio,"What the hell have you done? Do you know who you just shot?"

"Not now micheal, I'm kinda busy." Eric answers back on the interior radio so the outside can't hear him.

"You know," jibed Steel out loud again, "I hate it when I make a boo-boo. Now time for you-you."and blasted again this time at the right target.

Armory goes to aim his own attack at the armored hero, but is not quick enough and takes the blast square in the chest, and goes flying into the water.

Musclemass was well named.  The man was huge and looked very strong.  Mirage was counting on him not being as agile as she was as she slipped to the side to avoid the mans large fist.

"You're a strong fellow aren't you?" she said with a smile as she spun gracefully away from the man.  When she stopped, she was holding a crimson coloured fan in each hand, holding them in a delicate and feminine manner.  Her skirt slid open to reveal a length of her leg as she looked Musclemass over again, striking a dainty pose.

"Whatever will a poor girl like me do against such a strong man?"  she teased.  The spines on the fans lengthened into needle-like blades as she readied herself to attack.

Seeing his immediate threat gone, Steel Thunder drops to Hunter, being careful not to startle the man or more specifically so he doesn't get hit.

"Hunter, are you alright? Easy there I'm on your side."

Musclemass grins at Mirage but turns as he hears a splash behind him. "MILES!" He yells seeing Armory going into the water and begins running towards the water to save his friend.

Hunter puts away his blade and draws his bow moving around the F.N.G. TO let an arrow loose at musclemass THe arrow sinks into the four armed mans back but he keeps running. "It ain't over yet newbie, how bout you scoop the other guy out of the water before he drowns? Mirage and I'll handle the big guy."

"You got it." Steel Thunder flies off towards where Miles went in the water.

Micheal called on the radio, "Yeah that is all we need, to kill a guy on your first night out."

"I hadn't forgotten him.  I just wanted to make sure Hunter was alright first"

"I'm comin buddy!," The large man shouts as he dives in soon dissappearing from view.

Mirage flowed over to the edge of the dock, her trademark crimson smoke swirling around her.  She frowned at the water and the two men swimming in it.  "You must be joking.  There's no way that I'm going to get into that water." she muttered to herself.  Being a city dock, the water was less than crystal clear, and it was probably a good thing that it's muddy colour hid the bottom.

The blades of her fans disappear and Mirage absentmindedly fanned herself as she waited.  "Best to let the big guy haul his friend out of the water for us, don't you think Hunter?" she said with a friendly grin.  "Who's your new friend?"

Hunter glances at the armored guy. "Dunno he just showed up, shot at me, called me an idiot and assured me he was on our side." The bowman shifted his attention to the F.N.G. "You got a name? Or should I call you newbie?"

" You can call me Steel Thunder. And for the record I wasn't shooting at you I was shooting at our swimming friend over there."

Steel Thunder flies over to check out where the blasted victim went in, switching to Thermal Imaging to find him easier and pick him out of the drink.

As soon as Steel Thunder flies over to the water Musclemass pops up out of the water using two arms to hold his friend over the water and the other two to swim over to the docks. Pulling himself out of the water he looks at the heroes a look of fear on his face. "Does anyone know CPR?"

Mirage frowned.  This hadn't exactly turned out the way that she had expected.

She leapt up into the air, her trail of crimson smoke forming into a long lasso.  Mirage flipped over top of Musclemass and tangled him up in her red line.  Landing behind him, she gave him a healthy push away from Armory.  "Watch him, Hunter." she commanded and knelt over Armory.

Mirage ran a hand over one side of her face, sweeping her long hair out of the way and began to administer CPR to the other nearly drowned Armory.

Inside the armor, Eric began to sweat. "Damn...damn...damn," he thought.

"Micheal, call the cops on the non-traceable line and let them know what's going on." Eric said into his scrambled radio

Hunter silently moves next to Musclemass his bow next to his head. "Don't try anything funny."

Musclemass nodded quickly. "Please just save my brother."

As Mirage began CPR things looked grim for the heavily armed villain. Suddenly he lurks forward and begins hacking and coffing up water.

Micheal quickly dials 911 and anonymously reports trouble at the docks with someone hurt.

"I've done it.  You need to get out of there, now!" he calles into the radio.

"No" comes the reply quickly."I need to see this through.  Just make sure we can vary the power level of this thing down a few notches when I do get back."

Almost muttering to himself he says out loud," I didn't mean to hit him so hard..."

"This is why we have something called training. The problem with paras today is they find out they shoot lasers from their eyes and start figgting crime the next day. Theres no thought put into it."
