The attacker was able to avoid your attack, but you managed to grapple hold of them.

"Get off me, you damn Blood Knight!"

"Here I come!" Grendel shouted as he came jumping in and punching the figure, which glanced off, but clearly did some damage.

"Blood Knight?  Did I hit you too hard?" said Nonstop.  "I'm Nonstop, and you're the one blowing things up!"

...but he didn't try and strike again.  He could, easily, but he needed answers.

"Than don't interfere while we wipe them out!" the winger person said.

(OOC: Blood Knights are a local meta-gang)

"Oh, like I'm going to ignore a gang fight where you're blowing up the local park," said Nonstop, now applying pressure in the hold.

The woman let out a cry as she couldn't get out of your hold.

"Gonna need some help down here," you can hear Grendel shout.

"...fine," said Nonstop.  He let go of the woman and went to help his teammate.

The woman ignored you and swooped down to the park and attacked the Blood Knights there.

You can see Grendel being attacked by a swarm of several small figures.

Nonstop sprinted over and unleashed a sonic blast!

Damage 10 Cone

You blasted a few of them off and Grendel was able to grab hold of them and toss them off of him.

"He's up," one of the Blood Knights said, shooting some lightening at you, barely missing.

"Getting sick of you guys," said Nonstop, and he unleashed another sonic blast.  They knew he could do that now, but eh, he was going to have to reveal more of his powers sooner or later.

You sent your attacker flying, soon followed by the rest of the small ones that were attacking Grendel.

"Man, they sure are pains in the ass," he said.

"You'd think they'd learn," said Nonstop, checking around for any more enemies.  And he tried to remember what he knew about these Blood Knight jerks, anyway...

(OOC: The Blood Knights are a meta-gang. Mostly low powered ones. The other group must be the 88 Kings, named after a meta-riot that happened in downtown San Pedro in 1988 and rivals of the Blood Kings)

There were some others fighting, but they were fighting each other and not currently paying attention to you and Grendel.

"So we can't really let this go on," said Nonstop.  "Rude of them to be fighting like this.  Ready for some more action?"

Grendel cracked his knuckles and then his neck.

"I bet I can take out more than you."

"You're on," said Nonstop, and he went in, leading with sonic blasts to soften his enemies up.

(OOC: Some rolls please.)

22:39, Today: Nonstop rolled 25,23,25,13,11

You managed to take down three of them, while it seems Grendel was keeping pace.

"You're going down!" one of the thugs shouted as he charged into punch you, and missed wildly.

"Possibly, but not at your hands," said Nonstop, lashing out with a kick that would have done an ostrich proud.

More attacks: 17:44, Today: Nonstop rolled 25,26,22

You knocked that thug away and soon were taking down more. The fight was over.

"Ha! I got five," Grendel said.

(OOC: You win with six.)

"Six," said Nonstop.  "But it was close."

He looked around for the flying woman.  Was she one of the factions here?  What was all this about?

After some searching, you find the woman unconscious against a tree.

Was she wearing the colors of a faction?  Jake wished, right now, that he was more up on the gangs of the city.

The woman was wearing the colours of the 88 Kings. You can hear the sounds of approaching police cars, sirens wailing.
