Scene 1: Busy Night in the Big City

Blitzer's explosive creates a sizable divot in the street. The chucks of asphalt go flying in up and out in every direction. The crowd nearest shouts their displeasure, but seems unharmed. Blitzer shifts his grip on the truck and the heroes hear the metal crunch in his armored hands. "You wouldn't stand a chance if I really wanted to hurt you prissy pants! I'd stomp your ass without breaking a sweat"

He pauses for a second, clearly working through some intense thoughts. The crowd jeers him. "Big talk from a guy wearing power armor cause he can't cut it. Show us what your made of Blitzen!" Calling him the name of one of Santa's reindeer seems to do it. Blitzer shouts in rage.

But yes, that was my plan initially. He would charge right at me, into the electrical transformer. I'm actually standing four feet to the left of where I appear to be standing, so if he charges right at me at full speed, he'll just pass harmlessly through my projected image. It's a mental attack, but I'm thinking in this situation the damage should be physical, at least to his suit.

Of course once he rams into the transformer and it explodes in a giant shower of fire and sparks, I'll be posing in front of the action. And the crowd roars, "¡Olé!"

Blitzer crashes into the transformer to the cheer of the crowd. The suit of armor jerks uncontrollably and sparks. The street lights overhead short out and then blow up, showering sparks onto the street. Eventually the big guy ceases moving and the heroes can hear a voice screaming from inside to be let out.

"Y-yur no lady." Slapshot slurs groggily. As Echo moves in he tries to side step.

El Toro examines the exo-suit for a moment then notices a panel that he can open. Inside that panel is bar marked "manual release" in white letters. It seems like all you have to do is pull up and twist.

Slapshot doesn't make his move fast enough and hits the pavement a little hard, but his helmet seems to absorb most of the blow, He moans quietly then stops. He looks to be out cold.

The armored car, now free of Blitzer's grip shifts gears and coughs out a cloud of black exhaust. In a smaller vehicle it might have peeled out, but the heavy truck simply gets up to speed a bit faster that it normally does. It hits the intersection and makes a hard right turn. The truck leans a bit as it goes around the corner, coming up off two wheels just a bit, but corrects and speeds away.

Fastball, upon seeing his two companions are down hesitates for a moment then flies off after the truck.

As the hatch on Blitzer's armor opens it reveals a balding man who seems to be in his late 60's wearing a light gray leotard with several dark metallic disks placed in strategic positions about his body. A quick glance inside the mecha give El Toro the impression that they are intended to control the movements of the robotic outfit. Pulling himself out of the frame in a less than graceful fashion, the aged man tumbles to the ground a bit and stands up. At which point three civilians step forward brandishing their powers, one man's fist bursts into flames, a young woman's arms transform into spindly appendages like spider legs and she weaves a strand of sticky looking purple filaments into a net, the last man looks very nervous but he puts his fingers to his temples and the air begins to hum with a weak telekinetic force. "You cuff'em El Toro, we'll make sure he doesn't make a break for it." the flame fisted gentleman says.

"Oh go blow it out yer ass." Blitzer replies, though whether he is responding toward El Toro or the civilian is unclear at the moment.

Fastball chases after the armored car. He glances behind himself as he sees the two heroes coming after him. "Give it up "heroes" you can't stop me! I will claim that prize! Its all mine you hear!" he spins his hoverboard attempting to shake you both

Echo cuts through an alley and leaps at Fastball as he tries to zoom past, but the villain evades her for the moment. Vitrius on the other hand is on target. The large glass construct connects. Fastball's bell is rung and he has a few scrapes, but he maintains his pursuit of the armored car. If Echo doesn't think fast she is going to be left behind.
