LC: Super Scrubs Issue #1

Sable brings her deadly weapon up lightening quick! Aqee would be proud of the speed with which she had learned to wield the saber.

She steps forward, intent on marching towards her attackers, while sending their bullets melting to the pavement!

THE TEST: ROUND FIVE

---

The gunfire in the middle of the camp finally stops when the last of the drones suddenly zips southward, flicking on its targeting laser, painting the web-stuck bus with a glowing green beam. Predictably by now, there's a WOMP-WHOOSH sound as the flying machine launches a missile! It streaks towards the packed-to-the-gills bus! A hit would be a robot massacre!

Atrophy had come to the conclusion that the exercise was also a means to see how much destruction they could cause, and how far they were prepared to commit to that destruction would reveal what kind of commitment and morality they brought.

He was too far away to see Sable go down, and also equally far to stop the missile. But he was most proximate to the final group of foes, droid troopers in the buildings. He wanted to decisively take them out, at one go if possible. Eyeing the old wreck of a military craft that sat at the start of the tarmac, Atrophy moved forward, away from protecting the bus. It was time to make that plane fly again.

The old jet -- once used for airline hostage training scenarios -- creaks and groans when the annoyed veteran takes it skyward. For a moment the old bird hangs together, almost looking majestic in the right light as it makes what will be its last flight. But then, perhaps ironically, the thing starts to fall to pieces. One of the wings, the tail, an engine. There's a thunderous roar as the wreckage falls back to the runway, and Atrophy is left holding part of the plane -- and wondering if he's leaking the energy that gives him his powers...

Sable sends bullets skittering to the ground as hot, melted fragments! One catches her in the leg, as it ricochets off of her blade, which brings her down to her knee with sudden screaming pain!

Then she’s off balance, and the barrage is just too full and too many. She deflects a few more, but the effort exhausts her, and throws her off balance in the other direction. Then the hits come, and she Sable is gone to the dirt!

Of course all the available tech, robot spiders, attack drones, mecha jaguars, would be in tiptop condition, all except for the one thing Atrophy had elected to use. The beached aircraft creaked and groaned as he lifted it, and in truth Atrophy could see it was an old aircraft. Still, he had hoped that he could have hefted it far enough for it to be dropped on the troops issuing out of the buildings.

But the plane began to fall apart before he could make the short distance.

The aft section, where Atrophy wasn't supporting, began to break off, and one of the wings began to shear away from the uplift that Atrophy was making, leaving him with the main fuselage and the other wing which was also threatening to snap off. Atrophy did not want to risk the rest of it falling apart, and did not fly as high as he intended. Instead he quickly tossed what was left at the nearest building to crush its occupants.

'Get the rest of them.' She calls to Arachnight as she see's the imminent missle. She runs over to one of the fallen mechs and lufts it. Hopefully they'd been even more throwable when not fighting back.

She begins to spin, similar to a hammer thrower, to build momentum, before letting go to try and throw it into the missile.

[ooc]Not sure if roll under or roll to beat her, but using superstrength/ooc]

The big, inert cat goes spinning as Nocturne launches it at the incoming missile, and while it just grazes the ATG munition, it's enough to send it spinning, spiraling off-course -- and straight into the building in front of the heroine. The explosion is dramatic, sending wood, glass, and metal raining down on the bus, Sable, and everyone else.

Arachknight, Psion and Sable are up!

Further north, Atrophy hurls the multi-ton section of plane at a building he knows contains cadaver soldiers -- and scores a direct hit, flattening the building and all the troopers inside it!
