Society of Justice 3: Crisis on the Earth

[NeoAC]

Brian was angry, and ready to go, but he remembered back to his hockey coach, back in high school. The words of Coach MacTavish rang true in his mind. Whenever you're playing on defense boys, you never make the first move! You got me? You make the first move, the other guy is gonna get past ya, cause he'll know how to counter it! You got to wait them out, let them go first then you got 'em! All right, all of you get out of here! Except for you O'Brien! You're staying for a little extra practice! All right then, now I just got to think up some insults for this tea-drinking twat. Ooh that'll work.

"What, too afraid to make the first move now that you're not going against your fantasy versions of us, huh? You tea-drinking twat? You know I saw a deer with same kind of eyes as you, it was dying so we had to put a bullet in it's head! I think that's you need, a bullet right though your crumpet-eating, buck-toothed, shit-lipped, pasty-ass, queen-loving, inbred, soccer-playing face, you fucking wanker! That enough British shit for you, cocksucker?"

He looked over at Taryn, electricity clearly visible, and getting bigger. "Looks like it's enough for her, you brain-eating bastard! Hope you like your ass extra-crispy!"

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex keep a deep breath and clenched her fist gray light dancing around her hands. "So we kick his ass on his home turf it seems." Alex said knowing Victor could kill her with one shock but her death was worth saving Levi and many others from this man.

She quickly made a plan of action in her hand and ran sent a wave of gray light at victor, not enough to cause damage but enough to maybe knock him over. After she sent the wave she followed it with ice bombs, meaning ice balls with gray light in them that she would make explode was soon as they were close to Victor.

 

[socialtangent]

Victor grinned at Brian's creative stream of British-themed insults. "Aren't you cute?" he said to him with the utmost sarcasm. An influx of electric energy in the room distracted his attention from the irate Canadian. The real Taryn stood with electricity at the ready, the energy erratically running up and down her arms. Victor laughed and applauded slowly, his claps echoing ominously through the empty lounge. "So, you still do have some fight in you, Miss Foundre. I like it," he remarked after regaining his composure.

"Go ahead and hurl that charge at me, Miss Foundre," he said, lowering his voice and staring at her intently. "I know you want to". The tense moment was shattered by a wave of gray energy, which sent Victor stumbling backwards. Looking to find their source, Victor's gaze fell to Alex, who started hurling balls of the same gray light as before, but encased in balls of ice.

The cluster of ice balls detonated near him, but Victor was able to avoid the worst of it with a well-timed leap. Shaking some ice shards from his hair, he looked back to Alex. "You know, I've always found you to be extremely irritating, Whore of Blue Steel," Victor hissed as he summoned energy to his hands. Producing an extremely familiar looking dagger, the metal blade began to spark with an induced electrical charge. "You die first," he said flatly before he threw the electrified dagger at Alex.

 

[CounterAttack]

Knowing her chances of being effective in the ensuing fight were minimal at best - she had never been able to stand up against Victor in a fight - Katie considered retreating a few steps, trusting in her teammates' ability to beat their enemy. Plus there was too much fire in the room; it compromised her powers and provided Victor with the ability to exploit her weakness.

Then Victor produced an electrically charged dagger, and Katie guessed what he would do with it, considering Alex was the first to attack him. It would most likely kill her if she was directly hit by its charge. Remembering the time Katie had taken a lightning bolt for Alex, she moved to put herself in the path of the thrown weapon. She made a desperate lunge to intercept the dagger, and felt the blade pierce her left shoulder in mid-dive. She cried out in pain, and fell to the floor, landing hard on the wounded shoulder.

The knife released its electrical power, sending currents coursing through Katie's body. She screamed in agony, twitching and writhing involuntarily; clearly Victor's electricity was far more powerful than Kin's lightning bolts. Katie lay on the floor at Alex's feet, blood beginning to pool around her arm from the knife wound.

[hr]

"Son of a *****!" Rowan exclaimed at Katie's selfless defense of Alex. Using the act as a distraction - and hoping to end the situation by at least helping to injure Victor - he immediately fired off a trio of psychic bolts, aiming for Victor's chest; the easiest target to hit. He could easily dodge the shots if they were aimed for the head or any of his limbs.

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex looked down at Katie wanting to pull out the knife but knew touching it would make her useless. "Oh god Katie..." Alex said then looked up at Victor steam coming off of her body, rage was starting to fill her head but it still wasn't clouding her thoughts. "You will fucking pay for that Victor." Alex said kneeling down and ran at Victor running faster then any human could. She was a feet away from Victor when she jumped up landed behind him and kicked him in the back, her foot almost totally concealed with gray light. "Go to hell." she yelled.

 

[socialtangent]

Victor evaded two of the psychic blasts sent by Rowan, but the third slammed into his chest, causing him to stumble backwards into Alex's kick. With her foot sheathed in her gray light, the blow had an explosive element, which amplified the force of impact. Victor flew forward, aiming to hit the ground rolling. He hit the floor hard, but he was able to use the momentum to roll back up to his feet. Reaching out with his hand, Victor focused on the metal weight in the hilt of his dagger and tugged on it with a magnetic pull. The weapon freed itself from Katie's wound and landed hilt-first in Victor's palm.

With a grin, he induced another electric charge into the knife and turned to face Alex. "So the Whore can fight," he hissed. "All the better. I like the ones who struggle". With inhuman speed, Victor lunged at Alex with his freshly electrified blade, slashing wildly.

 

[tsatoma]

"Katie! Really? For Alex?" Leland yelled with some confusion as Katie took the dagger for Alex, his emotions quickly changing to anger as the dagger was pulled out of her shoulder. He let out a roar of anger as he quickly raised his hands, causing numerous burning debris in the lounge to suddenly lift up before being hurled at the smug Victor.

Ethan himself was also in a rage at the sight of dream-Taryn being killed, bringing out his MP5-K and rapidly firing it at Victor whilst beeping in anger. Garrus meanwhile ran over to Katie and called Brian over to help, moving her away from the rapidly-escalating fight towards the entrance of the lounge. "Just hold on there Katie, we'll get you healed up in a moment. Let's just get you to a safer place first," he said as he carried her to the hallway outside, hoping that the fight would stay inside of the lounge.

 

[NeoAC]

"Katie! Fucking christ!" Brian wanted to go after Victor for that, but he knew what role he was needed for. While Alex and Rowan were distracting Victor, he ran out towards where Garrus had brought the fallen plant user.

"All right Katie, you hold on there, I'll get you back up." He placed his hands on her shoulder and pressed down, the knife having been pulled out by the British bastard. "Garrus, get back in there man, take down that knicker-wearing twat-rocket. I'll take care of her." He started to channel the healing energy as best he could, trying to get Katie up as quickly as possible so he could go back in for his shot.

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex just dodged the first slash but scream out in pain as the others created gashed on her. He knees shook as she wanted to fall but knew Victor would snap her neck or beat her to death. She managed to swing her fist at him gray light charged around it and landed it on his jaw just as a layer of ice finished encasing her fist.

"I... won't let you get me you son of a *****." she said pain in her voice. She wasn't about to let lightning keep her from trying to stop him. "I WON'T LET YOU WIN THIS." she yelled.

 

[Pm0n3y]

After seeing Katie go down, Jason ran to her aid, along with Garrus and Brian, helping them move her to safety. As much of a mood he was in to fight, he knew that wasn't in the best situation to fight due to his lack of armor. As Erebus trotted up to him, Jason turned to his armor, a look of sinister seriousness about his face.

"Erebus, take him out. Show no mercy. Hit him hard. Hit him fast. If this guy wants to be free from us, then the only way that'll happen is if he goes to hell. I'll stand by and watch Brian and Katie." Jason replied grimly. Erebus nodded eagerly, springing a spike staff out of the ground almost instinctively. Jason caught it before looking back at Erebus, the two exchanging brief glances before the armor ran back into the fray, running through the floating debris and gunfire, Stopping only when he found himself between Alex and Victor, claws bare as he took up a fierce defensive stance.

"Thought you'd be the only fighting in close quarters? I wouldn't want to miss something like this for anything." Erebus replied to Alex, his "eyes" intensely fixed on his opponent.

 

[RBMidknight]

Taryn kept track of Victor's movements as Ethan opened fire. She glanced to each of her sides and squinted. Encircling her arms now, her electricity gave off bright light and not a little bit of heat. She looked back up at the battling Victor. Taryn took a deep breath and waited...and waited.

'There!' In between the debris Leland fired Taryn found a clear shot at Victor. With a sound part growl and part hiss of pain Taryn raised her hands palm up toward the black-eyed villain. The gathered electricity shot toward Victor in a form that duplicated white lightning. The air around the blast became superheated.

 

[socialtangent]

Flaming debris barely missing him, Victor had time to extinguish a fire that had started on his shoulder before Ethan opened fire on him with his submachine gun. Raising his hand again, he summoned a magnetic force field that caused the cyborg's bullets to stop in midair. Redirecting the projectiles, Victor sent them flying back in Ethan's general direction. He had no time to think before Alex's ice and energy encrusted fist slammed into his jaw.

The blow disoriented him temporarily, but Victor didn't miss the opportunity to return the favor with an electric-charged punch and a blow to the back of her neck, dropping Alex to the floor. With her water-based assailant out of the way, he faced the Key, whose Holder wisely stood back from the fray. As Victor returned the armor's gaze, he became aware of a massive surge in electric energy, roughly behind him.

Taryn's powerful electric blast slammed into his back. The superheated energy charred the fabric and leather of his imitation of Levi's outfit as it coursed through his body. The smell of burning flesh filled the air as he redirected the intense energy into his right fist, completely burning off the sleeve of his arm. Snarling, he launched the brunt of Taryn's assault at Erebus. Sparks continued to radiate from Victor's body even after he had discharged the energy.

 

[CounterAttack]

"Oh, God," Katie groaned in pain, her arm hanging lifelessly at her side. It hurt a lot more when Brian pressed his hands down on the injury, and that was saying something considering that she had just gone through the traumatic experience of having a knife stabbed into her shoulder, subsequent blasts of electricity surging through her body, and then the knife had been ripped out a minute later.

She felt something shift in her arm as Brian's healing process began to work on her yet again. The pooling blood began to slow down as the injury began to repair itself under Brian's hands, the gash in her shoulder slowly closing up. Katie issued another faint groan of pain from between her teeth as the work continued.

[hr]

Soon enough the area around Victor had become a whirlwind of brutal melée, bolts of power and flashes of electricity. Rowan figured that discretion was the better part of not hitting a teammate with another one of his psychic bolts, and backed up to a blood-free wall. He kept one hand at his forehead in case an opportunity presented itself, though he wasn't taking any chances.

 

[Lefthandofgod]

Steven watched as the others fought in vain around him. Katie was down, Richard was near useless, and Alex didn't have much time. 'I guess it's time for a last resort,' he thought. 'I can't win in my current state. Victor would flatten me before I get an attack in.' He vanished a portion of armor around his left arm and approached Tommy. "Tommy! Listen quickly! I need you to use your gloves and pump as much electricity into me as you can! Don't question, just do it!"

 

[NeoAC]

Brian kept watch over the hole in Katie as it slowly closed up before being restored to the way it was before the battle began. "All right Katie, don't be doing anything like that again, OK? I mean, nice gesture, but you know, we don't need to lose anyone here. Not to that asshole. Now, I'm going to go in there, try to distract him, and who knows, maybe I'll get a lucky shot with this beating stick. But we don't need a human shield out there, OK? OK." He turned to Jason. "Look after her man, make sure I did my job right, and I'll go in after him."

Brian went back into the main room to see the others still going after Victor. I can at least distract him. "Hey Victor? What's the matter? Having problems now that you're fighting something that can fight back? You mad there old chap? What, what?"

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex screamed out in pain dropping to the floor from the force of both blows. She was twitching on the floor uncontrollably bolts of electricity dancing on her body. Alex panted and heaved falling in and out of consciousness. Alex tried to get up but she couldn't move. Water snaked up Victor's body but stopped at his neck as she passed out.

[tsatoma]

Ethan jumped out of the way as soon as the bullets were turned back at him, a couple of bullets hitting his legs. His right, metallic leg was fine but his fleshy left leg got a few bullets in them. He ducked behind some debris that was neither flaming nor being flung at Victor, putting down his MP5-K and bringing out his luger, waiting for the right moments to fire a shot.

Garrus had nodded when he knew Brian would take care of Katie, heading back into the fray. He ran by Leland and told him to use his good aim and actually hit Victor before running around to where Victor's back was facing him. As he carefully focused on the back Victor's neck (doing his best to time it so that he wouldn't hit anyone else) before sending a precise shock wave at him when he was distracted.

 

[Captainguy42]

"Alright, alright just gimme a second!" Tommy yelled charging up his gloves with lightening. "Don't worry Steven because soon you're going to be in the... uh... god damn if forgot how I was going end this line, in the shock? In the zone?"

"Tommy just fucking do it!" Steven yelled at him getting impatient.

"This is important hang one, in the..." Tommy continued to think.

"Is it clear? In the clear?" Steven yelled in exasperation.

"Yes, yes!" Tommy yelled jumping on balls of his feet, "Don't worry Steven soon you'll be in the," Tommy placed both hands his arm, "CLEAR!"

 

[Pm0n3y]

Erebus took the blast head-on, deflecting some of it through an arm, the large volt of electricity blasting through the wall behind him before being knocked off his feet from the force. He rose to his feet, glancing at Alex momentarily before shaking off the attack and running back towards Victor. Sending waves of spikes blasting from ground with every step, Erebus edged closer to his enemy.

[hr]

Jason nodded as Brian ran off into battle. Looking down at Katie, he smiled at her sincerely.

"That was a really brave thing you did there. Very brave, incredibly badass, and indefinitely respectful. Good thing we have a field medic, eh?" He said to her.
