Upon hearing that Armstrong was absorbing energy, Roland put Shara's blaster away in his satchel and began shooting at Armstrong's chest, but being careful not to hit Seras.

Seras would probably chip a tooth against the black metal skin, before he threw her away. The man's eye jab shattered Armstrong's glasses, but he grabbed him by the scruff of the neck before he could poke the eyes, throwing him back into Joel and possibly impaling him on the Murasama blade. Doomguy and Roland's bullets did little. Samus fired a charged plasma shot as she ran towards him, but Armstrong caught the fireball in his hand, absorbing the heat until his metallic fist glowed red, then delivered a superheated haymaker right into Samus' face, sending her reeling and shattering the visor to glass splinters.
Seras righted herself mid air and fell into a crouch. She growled as Samus received the vicious punch and charged at Armstrong at tremendous speed, aiming to punch him in the gut.
OOC: So I looked it up finally and Seras can lift at least 6 tons and is fast enough to dodge bullets fired from close range. Sooooo lets do this.

Joel moved aside to avoid the flying man, and continued advancing on Armstrong. If Armstrong was facing Joel, Joel would circle around behind Armstrong and hope one of the others distracted him.
<color=purple>"He can only absorb what he sees. But that armor is going to be a problem."
"Gwen... what holds the galaxies together?"
Gwen nodded in response. The two girls put their hands together, and although they were glowing and their eyes closed, what they were making was invisible to everyone.... mostly everyone. EMily moved into position to shield the others who couldn't move, but Gwen remained stationary including her arms and legs. Her eyes were glowing so bright that no one could tell where they were moving. Whatever she was controlling, only she could see. When the opportunity would come, she would strike.
Afterwards, EMily positioned herself and produced a intense strobe from her hands, that were stretched outwards, to blind Armstrong.

Armstrong caught Doomguy and Seras, having some trouble holding Seras back before the black skin really kicked in. He pushed them away, not noticing Joel or the sisters. "Tell you what. I like you, so I'm gonna give you something. The truth." He dusted himself off, trying to look more charismatic and presentable, but was blinded by Emily's Solar Flare. it took him a second to regain his sight.
While Armstrong was recovering from being blinded, Joel moved in and slashed at the senator's back with the Murasama.
Seras continued to growl as she tried again, this time zig zagging to make it more difficult for her attack to be defended against.
Doomguy's first few stabs did some damage, but then the skin hardened. Joel's Murasama slash did the first real bit of damage to Armstrong, slicing through the black skin and making a shallow, bloody gash. However, Armstrong turned around, wildly slugging Joel in the face hard enough to crack bone, as the wound quickly glowed with heat and sealed itself as if being welded shut. Seras managed to get in, attacking his back, but he merely hardened and fell backwards on top of her, slamming her beneath his metal bulk and also dodging a few inaccurate shots from Samus, who had taken her helmet off and was trying to wipe blood out of her eyes. "I take no pleasure in this whole mess." Armstrong said, getting up. "But I have to do it. I need capital, and votes." He slowly started walking towards the group. "You wanna know why? I have a dream!" Armstrong said the quote loudly and prodly, holding up one fist triumphantly.
"You know what? I've been thinking about it while fighting you. Warmongers can do great things for their country and give great benefits. They can ensure peace in their country if war ever comes down on it. But in order for that to happen, you need to think carefully. Being strong doesn't just mean physical brawn, it also means your mind and your wits have to be strong. The only thing that's strong about you is your greed. You know what happens to warmongers that get greedy instead of thinking?"
Now that Armstrong was a distance away from everyone EMily gave a signal by blinking twice.
Gwen blinked, and a singularity pulled the invisible dark matter together beneath Armstrong's feet. Dark matter is its own antiparticle, so when it collides with itself, it releases its energy. It also is pure mass and no electric charge, so it can pass through objects without being repelled by valence electrons. But as soon as it explodes it releases its energy felt as high energy photons.
The dark matter bomb detonated underneath him in the ground and had the strength of an RPG.
"Their dreams crumble beneath their feet."

Joel took the punch to the face, his skin being hard as metal, as well as his bones. While Armstrong was on the ground, Joel slashed at the senator's throat, similar to the way he had finished off Mr Bug.
Seeing the effects that High Frequency Blade had on Armstrong, the man leaps off the top of the metal gear and runs into the ruined base. Though thoroughly looted he manages to snag one from under the body of a bisected cyborg solider, along with a trio of hand grenades. A rediculous plan forming in his head, he rushes back to the site of the battle.
The explosion sent Armstrong flying, smoking, He landed some distance away, with a heavy thud. He slowly got up, heavily wounded but his wounds quickly welding shut as he healed himself. "You don't understand. I don't want to wage war, but it's the only way. And frankly, I could use your help." He said as he tried to catch his breath.
After the dark matter bomb went off, Seras jumped on Armstrong's back and wrapped an arm around his throat, trying to cut off his airway and choke him.
Armstrong would likely realise he'd just said the wrong thing to the wrong person, around the time Joel charged at him while screaming with rage. As Joel got close to Armstrong, he began slashing the Murasama at Armstrong's abdomen, intending to catch him while he was still winded.
