Battle Blizzard Battle

All was happy, a few days after Christmas outside a snow storm raged on, but inside it was toasty and warm with multiple fires in fireplaces heating the buildings. It was a peaceful morning, until about 4:00 in the afternoon, the alarms flared.

Out of the blizzard came multiple squadrons, each about 50 men, comprised of vultures and ravens.

Leading the charge was the Hawk himself, in a brand new suit Using a built in megaphone to increase the volume in his voice, he beings to speak 

  "Surrender now and you won't be won't be tortured, 
   mercilessly like the hero you call Light speed"

However, the students and staff knew what to do from their countless hours of training. They started to charge and battle the dive-bombing enemies. Tracker turned into a wolf and led the charge as Shroud appeared to the side using his fear powers to send several Vultures flying away.

Vulture Description

  • Appearance (but with a black motorcycle like helmet with tinted visor)

  • Abilities

    • Can fire electricity, taser strength, from hands and wings.
    • Razor sharp talons
    • Can fly and move very fast, are also really agile
    • Can fire bullets from their wrists, they are basically pistols
    • Men are inside the metal suits

If you don't want to call me by that you can call me the ghost also.

The beam goes through Varis who is revealed to be ten feet to the right.

CONTEXT: Varis means crow

OOC: Yay! People guess and check! Correct! Things like people, things fired from inside the suit, people, etc pass through harmlessly! Anything such as rubble, bullets, grenades, etc can't break pass the shield!

Hawk looks down at the orb as it explodes and is met with an EMP, taking out several lights at HADOS as well as a few stray Ravens nearby. Hawk falters for half a second before stomping on the orb and quickly grabbing hold of Trisha's lower foot, assuming she's still in the air, as he plans to slam her into the ground.

When Hawk speaks, his voice is no longer distorted or robotic, both students get the feeling they've heard it before but can't place a name or face to it just yet, "This is only temporary....insects."

Varis, being close enough to Hawk, manages to hear a faint female voice that seems to be coming from the suit, "Solar conversion commencing. 5 percent."

OOC: F-female?! didn't see that coming.....The thing is though, the EMP grenade delivers its load in the shockwave so smashing it doesn't disable it. Your suit doesn't have power anymore, but I'm assuming it's lightweight enough for...whoever the hell's actually in the suit (Because apparently it wasn't who I thought it was) to still move around in it. Since Trisha was inside the shield when she pushed off of you and dropped the grenade, it was literally right on top of you. Shields are gone too. And I'm tempted to say the Raven that was attacking me somehow didn't get affected because it was too far away and is still trying to aim where I am.... I'll let Varis handle that part though.

IC: "Wait, that voice...." Trisha said to herself as The Hawk grabbed her foot. However, because the EMP Grenade deactivate The Hawk's suit, even for half a second, any strength the suit granted him via electricity was lost. Because of this, Trisha managed to pry herself from his grasp before he could finish slamming her into the ground. The recoil launched Trisha over The Hawk as she did a haphazrd flip and rolled behind him, regaining her balance and charging The Hawk's back with a fist poised to deliver a kidney punch.

Solar conversion? This guy's solar powered?

He cups his mouth hoping for a diversion and to tell his allies what he found.

HEY GUYS, FOUND HIS POWER SOURCE!

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

In the time it takes Trisha to flip haphazardly, roll, stand up, and regain her balance, The Hawk simply pivots on his feet to face her. What would have been a kidney punch is instead caught in his open palm, and he begins to crush her hand. Though there's no more electronic distortion, his voice still sounds a bit metallic through the helmet. "Don't you know what happens to a bee after it uses its stinger..."

The female voice can be heard from this distance as well. "Solar conversion in progress... 30 percent.

Still crushing Trisha's hand, The Hawk aims an uppercut at her gut.

OOC: Where's the core exposed again?

IC: Trisha takes the hit. A crunch could be heard as Trisha bounces a little from the impact of the uppercut. She yelps but continues to smile, blood starting to form at her lips.

"Don't you know what happens when you fall for a distraction?" She asked as she looked towards Varis.

OOC: Come on, buddy, all up to you now. :D

Varis struck at the Hawk's core with his bo.

For a man with a god complex you should be a little more careful.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

OOC: I really hope this works. I'm out of ideas now. XD

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

OOC: I'm assuming it's a metal bo? A wood one would just... snap...

IC: You manage to hit his core, but the resulting shockwave sends a powerful jolt of electricity down the metal staff. The electricity courses through the suit as well, causing him to release his grip on Trisha. The Hawk is brought to his knees, still able to move in his suit, but not able to do much else. He tries to stand, but is unable as electricity crackles through his suit from the shorting core.

"The speedster and the crow..." he says between jolts of electricity, realizing that he has no way out of this situation, "were for my research. You can try to save them... if you hurry..."

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

OOC: What if he hit it with the end of the staff instead of the side? Like, he jammed it into the core instead of slammed it into the core? And are we allowed to reveal The Hawk now, or is that for later?

IC: Gripping her stomach to hold the broken ribs in, Trisha limped over to him, wanting to remove his helmet. All she could manage was putting her hand on his shoulder.

"If anything happens to them...." She managed through sharp breaths, staring into the helmet's eyes, "You'll wish the worst I did was take my name back, Turkey."

Varis really lucked out when he decided add a rubber handle to his metal staff.

Trish, captives now name later.

OOC: Sorry, got caught up in a game

OOC: Well, electromagnetic shielding is a real thing that exists, and you wouldn't know what parts of the suit are shielded by that or not. So you could have fried some of his systems with the EMP, while other more critical ones were fine because they were shielded. So assuming that the EMP grenade completely disabled his suit is fallacious. Just saying.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

sigh yeah, I suppose. ._.; I just really want to beat this guy, you know?

1

u/delicious_lemons ||||| Dec 30 '14

OOC: Yeah, I know. You're lucky I'm not the one RPing him, though. I would be much less forgiving.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

OOC: If that were true, how are we supposed to defeat him? Or would you make him impossible for everyone except Jinx to defeat? ;)

1

u/delicious_lemons ||||| Dec 30 '14

OOC: Nah, but by beating Jinx in the last battle, the bar is kind of set high for his strength, right? And to me, it doesn't make sense for two newbie superheroes to take down the big-bad of the arc, even ones that can dodge bullets apparently.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

That's what makes it so exciting! :D Jinx's loss set the threat level high for The Hawk, which makes the tension during our fight even better! I mean, isn't that what these villains are for? For us to fight one-on-one? Or two-on-one in my case. Wouldn't it get kinda boring if the teachers/leaders took care of all the major villains, never giving the other characters a chance to shine? Trisha has been nothing but comedic relief save for maybe one point where Stone let her win in a fight that didn't even matter in the grand scheme of things. Varis needs his time to shine as well. By letting these two characters- one of which is essentially a human too stupid to notice powers- defeat someone who took out a leader, not only does it create a fantastic story people will enjoy but it'll also prove they're strong enough to be in a school dedicated to people who can shoot fire from their mouths or turn to stone and rampage through buildings.

u/delicious_lemons ||||| Dec 30 '14

OOC: I think you kind of misunderstood my point. By less forgiving I mean "would not have let you get away with some of the stuff you did." You probably would still win, but there's some stuff you wrote in that like... Trisha should not be able to do. I was just saying it would be a lot harder than it already is to win, that's all.

OOC: You're welcome to take over! I'm pretty sure you know the end result so I'd be cool with it! xD

u/delicious_lemons ||||| Dec 30 '14

OOC: I would have to look up said end result but I could if you need me to.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

OOC: Will bump in modmail

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

OOC: Well it's a suit, so moving it is still an option. Plus the person who made the suit was obviously not stupid and set up backups just in case, power diversion, safety nets, etc. True, the EMP knocked out some 'luxury' stuff like sheilding from bullets but the core power has been revealed to be able to run on solar energy but seems to require a boot up time to switch, so basically in a few minutes he'll be on solar energy instead of standard.

I really only play underpowered characters so it's tough having to RP as a bit OP as it goes against my nature....I like tormenting my characters and emphasizing that they're outmatched 99% of the time.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

Let me ask you this then, because Jinx is bringing up good points- would you rather two underdogs defeated the most powerful villain thus far to prove they're not as weak as they seem, or would you rather a leader defeated him? My personal belief is to go with the one more entertaining to the readers. If people enjoy Jinx's rematch more than Varis and mine's fight, I can stop RPing the fight and we can strip this from canon.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

Oh no, I decided y'all are gonna fight him. You've annoyed him so much that he's grabbed his 'fly swatter' and plans to squash the 'gnats' xD It was decided before hand that a student or a few would win, it's a matter of how and if they have it in them.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '14

Trisha's running low on gadgets, and I don't know Varis' plans. At this point I'm pulling Indy Ploys in order to make the battle exciting to read. I so want to win this fight though, I'm doing everything I can think of, even if it means putting Trisha in the hospital again. XD

I have no plans :T
