"FALL BACK!" Ryan gave the order, his group dashing back towards Leo. As they caught up he gave the signal to Quickfrost, who pushed himself to the limit as he forced the rapid formation of ice walls to block them off from their attackers.

Leo had managed to wedge a chair under the handle on the door to the stairs. He heard Ryan's orders but stood ready at the door in case they managed to break through. He fell back when the ice wall started to form around him.

Leo stood waiting for Ryan's next order. His face was set not giving away a flicker of emotion. He knew he could absorb the most damage so he expected to be infront.

-Unity Tower-

Gemini poked her head out into the stairwell. She could hear voices one floor above her. She took her chances and slowly made her way down the stairs. Her Crey training kicking in, she checked all the dark corners before moving on, she did not want her presence known.

She reached the lobby without incident. She lent against the last section of wall before the stairs opened into the lobby. She stayed low and assesed the situation.

Her eyes widened at what she could only describe as a mini war that was being waged. She could not believe this was happening. She raised a hand and aimed a healing energy at the first person she saw.

12:02:48

Just for clarification, who is in which tower?

Leo - Vigilance
Gemini - Unity

With a quick gesture and a crackling order barked over comms, the Malta operatives rolled back down the stairs, leaving several flashbangs and smoke grenades behind, pins out. Regaining their footing, they prepared to head round the corner of the stairwell. The call of 'MHI' had been made.

Leo saw the grenades land and he quickly moved back up the stairs. He was not quite quick enough. His shades protected his eyes but the bang left his ears ringing. The smoke did not make things any easier.

While waving the smoke away and trying to shake off the ringing in his ears, Leo was hit with a blue beam. Immediately drained he fell to one knee. It took a moment for him to realise what had hit him.

"Oh S***!" Leo knew he could not face off against five Malta and a Sapper. He had no idea what else was behind the smoke. So he pulled himself to his feet and ran back up the stairs. Slamming the door behind him, Leo looked for something to wedge the fire door closed.

"We got Malta incoming!" He yelled down the corridor.

12:02:21

Gemini was stoic in the corner of the room. Her mind was wondering again. Abruptly her mind was back in her body. She could sense the close proximity of people in pain. She quickly realised the building was under attack. She stood up quickly, her muscles aching through inactivity. She pulled the drip out of the back of her hand.

"This will not do!" She said softly. She ran over to the door and started banging and yelling to be let out. She knew someone would be along with a hypodermic full of sedatives.

When the door opened slightly, Gemini yanked on the handle and blasted the nurse with a psychic knockback that sent her flying. She grabbed a lab coat that was hanging nearby and ran off down the corridor. She could hear the explosions from the lobby up in the medical lab.

Bare foot and wearing a medical smock and a lab coat, Gemini was not surprised when she ran out into the corridor in front of two Malta operatives and they just laughed at her. She released a psychic blast that sent them both flying, the impact with the wall knocking them both unconscious.

"Don't judge a book by its cover boys!" She walked over to the unconscious bodies and picked up their rifles. With one rifle slung over her shoulder, the other gripped ready to fire, she started to make her way toward the Unity Tower lobby.

12:01:45

an FYI for you - Gemini is Leo's sister, who was left for dead in Unity Tower's lobby. She has been locked in the medical facilities for her own protection for the last few months.

There is more to Leo and Gemini's story that I have not got around to writing yet, but those are the bare bones.

And yep paused there Z, I left a second in case you want to get a hit in before the next step

There were already Malta on the stairwell. Around five of them, three armed with combined assault weapons, two with the standard issue Gunslinger pistols. The approach of a glowing, burning young man above them on the stairwell meant sweet jack all to them. A quick hand flick and weapons were pointed at him, cryo rounds quick-loaded into the pistols, and the hail of bullets against him began.

Ryan and the other New Vigilants in the training room were still getting people evacuated on that floor.

12:01:51

Leo felt the impact of the hits and his flames were extinguished as a cryo round hit. It did not stop his descent. He barrelled straight into the middle of Malta and materialised his fire sword. With a spin Leo swung the sword in a circle. He landed on one knee and as he rose he aimed a flaming uppercut at the closest Gunslinger.

Leo could feel the continuous rain of bullets as they hit, he smiled as his shields held strong. The close proximity of the stairwell just made him more effective. He paused as he prepared to release another ring of scorching flame.

12:01:57

Leo nodded grimly, his face almost a reflection of Ryan's determined one.

"I'll take lead on the stairs. I can block them effectively allowing you time to move on this floor." An orange glow appeared around Leo's feet as he ran to the stairwell.

Once at the top of the stairs a wall of fire erupted around Leo, scorching the walls and floor. It flared and then died and then flared again as Leo held it in place around him as he descended towards the lobby.

((edited the time because I forgot the minutes ))

Leo heard BODICIA's announcement, he concentrated for a moment activating his sheilds and looked at Ryan.

"So whats the plan? Get down to the lobby?"

Hey Z,

Can I have Leo in Ryan class?

Quick question, Is there a charge for using paypal?

In Paragon City newspapers, A few have it as front page news.

Dr Jonas Clegg, noted and published geneticist, was found dead this morning. Police have stated they are investigating the circumstances surrounding Dr Clegg's passing but refused to comment further.

Dr Clegg was known to be working for Crey Industries. When approached, a spokes person for Crey Industries issued this press statement.

"We are saddened by the loss of this brilliant man. However he was dismissed from our employ several weeks ago due to the questionable research he had been doing. A full investigation is underway and details will be released in due course."

Lets hope all the Knight's manage to create recognisable costumes then . As for me I'm hoping TV movies count

((Just incase anyone was interested I did take a couple of screen shots. Although I was having mouse trouble all night so could not position them very well .

screen shot 1

screen shot 2 ))

((I had great fun, thanks for inviting me, although I don't think Wild Red will be wearing a dress again any time soon. Far too much attention .))

Wild Red looked at the invitation she had been given in Pocket D. She flipped it over again and again while chewing on the end of a pen. Sighing she started scrawling out a response.

I am delighted to be attending this event, if I don't change my mind.

Please expect my arrival at 8 p.m. or thereabouts, unless I find something more entertaining to do.

Please be aware of my special circumstances (if any), detailed below:

I am a walking weapon, do not think for one second I will be leaving myself at the door!

I fully understand that weapons and hostility are most unwelcome and will treat my hosts and fellow guests with the respect and dignity they deserve.


((I will do my best to attend tonight, but I can't garentee it at the moment.))

Sorry for the late reply. I can't make this as I am having to install a new operating system after a nice little virus corrupted my old one. . Happy raiding peeps

((Well done Ravenswing. You captured the rp really well ))

Definalty looking forward to it. As long as you don't miss the 'Golden Brown' moment I will be happy

@Thunderspark. My main villian is a Rad Blast/Kin Corruptor. I had a really hard time leveling her up. But yep kinetics are amazing. I recommend you take Transference. Spamming transference can really slow down any ememies attacks if they don't have the end recovery to combat it combined with siphon speed and you will soon be kicking some booty

I find Tankers really hard to play. I they just feel really slow to me.

I have organised player meets before - although this would be way bigger than anything I have ever done!

I agree with Hairy, Z & Delph. I was totally looking forward to the next OS. If it gets announced they won't be doing OS next year we should totally organise it ourselves!

I'm gutted. It was great getting to meet RJ and Aero. You guys are great and thanks for helping make the community what it is. I hope you go onto bigger and better things. I also wish the best to anyone affected and has not been announced.

*Hugs to Z*

I agree with FFM - my fingers are well and truly crossed.
