Re: The Amazing Avengers #4B: "...That Ruin Was Still There"
No one has time to react to Pym's rallying cry before the group of flying figures is upon the assembled heroes (and others). It is the naked, golden man with the inner glow, seen years ago for some when time has been fluid, but now there is a cadre of duplicates with it and all holding rifles. To the one they are copies of the one who brought the heroes to this future place, now with weaponry, and floating through the sky, to arrive near the stage. They are all utterly silent, with no speech coming from their blank faces and their flight making no sound. Their forms issue no exhaust, just soaring swiftly through the air.
Shooting their rifles starts only when they get there.
Chronaltomatons add d8 to Doom Pool
Next action (new round): Chronaltomatons
The Fantstic ONE retracts his malleable arms, to change from cages into slender, deadly daggers, releasing the Beast to crouch to make a powerful leap. She-Hulk wastes no time dropping into action, ripping up the ground below her to use as either an offense weapon or a defensive one, but surely a crudely effective one in either case. "We got more than enough power to take these jokers," she says with a smirk, the rippling muscles on her body getting even bigger, as the Wasp shrinks to an inversely more effective size. "You heard the man," she calls, her voice still carrying even though she is nearly too small to see. "Even if you're not all Avengers, let's do this!"
The Moloids, appropriately, panic like they have not done before, now running into each other and anyone else who gets in the way of their escape, though they have no route, running in cross-currents in opposite directions, the hundreds of thousands of them trapped by each other and contributing to a horrific maelstrom of chaos.
Spend d8 from Doom Pool to step up Moloid Unrest to Moloid Chaos d8
Beams from the flying figures are precise, cleaving through the air like the destination of each attack was predestined before it left the weapon. Each silent, vicious assault arrives with accuracy and lethal danger.
Physical attack on Yellowjacket, Iron Fist, Bishop, Storm, Wolfsbane, Spider-Man, Machine Man, Venom:

Reactions Needed: Yellowjacket, Iron Fist, Bishop, Storm, Wolfsbane, Spider-Man, Machine Man, Venom
Just as the Dragon of the Moon moves to lay her glowing hands on Wolfsbane in the time of the mutant's greatest need, the bald woman is sliced in half, diagonally, shoulder to hip, through her arms, by a bright red beam fired by one of the flying figures. Immediately the parts of the healer's body not instantly disintegrated fall to the dusty ground in a heap spraying blood.
Dragon of the Moon eliminated
Next Action: whoever reacts first
