"hehe nice flare! Now watch This!!!"
Bladewing stood facing a tunnel packed almost to the brim with council grunts. Then he vanished and reappeard behind all of them. Three seconds later the sundry council stooges fell apart, fountaining blood and body parts, guns looking like they had been run through a paper shredder.

"Are you sure you're a hero? Cause that woulda made a stalker blush with envy." Dax said as he repeatedly punched a soldier in the head.
Dax stopped for a second and looked down at the soldier, "Hey man, you okay?"
The soldier looked around with a dazed expression on his face, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?"
Dax stopped for a second and got a very thoughful expression on his face, "You know. . . .I'm bored."
The soldier's jaw dropped, "You're bored!? You rampage into our base decimating our forces because your bored?"
Dax looked back at the guy, "Well yeah. It's kinda what I do."
The soldier's jaw closed with an audible *Clack* "Oh, Okay."
Dax looked around for a second then returned to beating the soldier over the head.

Klaus raised an eyebrow.
Cursing very loudly in German he tried to roll out of the way. In the process he clumsily knocked over several boxes and was very slow getting back up.
"Eat liquid nitrogen!" He screeched as his gloves glowed bright blue. Liquid nitrogen sprayed outward. If Ghoul didn't move he'd become a Ghoulsicle rather quickly.
And then Dax and Bladwing's killing spree was cut off when a solid two meter reinforced titanium door with braces and hydralic pressure directional locks slammed down between them and the next corridor.
That wouldn't stop them for long, thankfully. All they needed to do was turn around and go down a different corridor and find a way around the door. Then again, they were perfectly free to simply blast the door down and go through the corridor.
.....[u]IF[u] they could blast it down.
Bladewing pulled up just inches short of the titanium door, growling in frustration.
"Hey Dax, got any tricks to break down doors? I have one but I'd rather not use it, and going around could mean we have to slow down the kill pace."

"Sorry." Dennis said, suddenly appearing in the path of the liquid and letting it engulf his arm. "We're trying to be productive here, kay?" He quickly phased out of and back into existance, letting the frozen cast of his arm fall to the ground with a satisfying 'Thud!'. "And if you're not part of the solution..." He said, his hands suddenly glowing bright blue, "You're part of the problem."
"So what'll it be, doctor?"
"No choices, only poundin'," Ghoul said as he dove forward at Klaus, already bringing one dark energy wreathed hand up for a devastating uppercut. He'd then follow up with some entangling tentacles to keep the good doctor from running away and then start pounding away, the dark energy around each fist acting as a combination acid/smoke screen.

Dax smiled, "I gotta few tricks." Dax stabbed his crystal arms into the ground and let his crystals create a gleaming green trail that cracked the steel floor. The crystals made a line under the titanium door. Dax poured more of his body into the foundation.
The engines that had dropped the door began to screach as he made his crystals become twin pillars holding up the door about 3 1/2 feet from the floor. "Pull a tuck and roll psycho."

Coughing as he rose up Klaus took somewhat careful aim where he fied next.
The ground in front of Ghoul frooze. He would find that it would be almost impossible to avoid slipping on the slick surface.
True the tentacles might have held the good doctor down, but with Ghoul unable to stand up how was he supposed to attack the doctor?
Struggling agains the incredibly powerful tentacles he attempted to loosen their grip on him. Wrapping a gloved hand around one of them he attempted to freeze the damnable thing.
"You got it!"
Doing a diving roll, Bladewing popped up on the other side of the door and hit the panel to open it, then sliced up the soldiery that was coming down the hall towards him.
"God that was easy, and Dax, stalkers wish they could create as much carnage as I can."

The crystals retracted back into Dax's arms as he walked through the door. "You think the others are still kicking?. . . .Bah who cares. They'll be fine." Dax walked forward lazily tossing a spike over his shoulder hitting one of the still moving soldiers in the back.
"These guys just keep coming, you'd think they'd have learned by now. But NOOOO they just keep coming and we keep knocking em down. I ain't complaining it's just that these villain groups have gone down the drain in the past few years." Dax said haphazardly making six crystals circled each other a few inches over his out streched hand.
Dax tossed the crystal's over his should were they reacted like pressure mines when they hit the ground and walls. They burst into jagged groups of spikes, effectively blocking one of the hallways, "If they are sticking to the 'Feeble Minded Villains Handbook' they'll send an ambush up behind us. Hopefully they'll be moving to fast to notice the crystals before they hit em."

((... so, Dax and Bladewing are going psychotic on the Council, Klaus has attempted to jump me and gotten jumped in turn by Ghoul, Darkvapor has wandered off and done his own thing, and Dusan, Martin and I are all together, despite my wandering off? Okay, no big deal, I was planning on rejoining Martin and Dusan anyways...))
Energon X watched for a moment as Klaus and Ghoul bludgeoned one another, then shrugged, turning to Martin. "Despite what your expression suggests you think, some of us are able to stay focussed. I've mapped the base as best I can without attracting attention- some of the soldiers are equipped with goggles that can defeat my cloaking device, at least at close range." He brought up his own map with a thought, and concentrated for a moment.
A red pinprick appeared on the map. "The holding cells are at that location, and I was right... I found the City Rep there. Unfortunately, I found three of her. With bombs at each cell that will go off if we open the door, killing everything in the cell. Getting rid of those would probably be optimum." He shrugged again. "All this chaos is probably the best chance we're going to get at this- I'd guesstimate that nearly half this base's normal complement has been taken out already. However, I found a large teleport grid that's been laid in recently... I really don't like the looks of it. We could be facing down entire squads of Warwolves and Vampyri, Mechmen, Archons... it could get ugly in a hurry. I don't think we have much time."

"Hehe we can only hope."
Bladewing rounded the corner and saw several galaxy archons, Vampyri, and Warwolves.
"Oooooh some tougher targets..maybe they can stand up to three strokes before they die!"
Bladewing lunged low, attacking underneath the inevitable spike barrage from Dax.

Dax rounded the corner and watched as Bladewing went low He's learning quickly Dax threw up his arms sending cascading crystals toward the monsters faces.
"You ever see a Warwolf box a vampire?" Dax asked as his crystals dissipated and reconstituted between one of the Vampyri and a Warwolf. He punched the wolf in the face and then ducked as the return blow struck the vampire on the chin.
"If you haven't you will now!"

If the Soulhound was still active, it would have been blasted with another sense.
The City Representative was close by. VERY close by.
As a matter of fact, she was only fifty meters below its current location...
But Karl had TOLD them he had seen her heading into the Council base, and he had been telling the truth.

".....going on here?!?!?" Roared Archon Auswitch from behind his locked and barricaded door.
"No time...Status report!" Salvatore snapped.
"Intruders are ripping through defenses and troops in sections 6 through 8, suspected stealthed intruders throughout, fifteen core breaches, water facility has been wiped, fort room has been demolished, the generator room collapsed, (although thankfully the machinery is still apparently active beneath the rubble) and we've lost video and audio to the intell room."
After thinking for a moment, Salvatore asked, "What about the cells?"
"What do you mean? There's nobody there."
"Yes yes, but do we have anybody IN THERE right now? Anybody important that would have provoked an attack? As far as I know this base hasn't even engaged in any quote 'illegal' unquote activites, so unless we have somebody in the cells, I see no reason WHY we are being attacked."
"No sir. There is nobody in the cells. Prisoners, guards, or intruders, to my knowledge or anyone elses'."
"Damnit. Ok, seal off sectors 9 and 12..."

"Wrong answer." Dennis muttered, slamming the good doctor with a good bit of force with both of his fists, right on top of his cranium.
He didn't stop there, being completely immune to the ice patch (Via incorporealness and the ability to fly) Dennis jumped back and blasted a concentrated beam of spiritual energy towards the doctor, charging up another blast for when the smoke cleared.
-----
Dusan sighed and turned to Martin for some semblance of sanity. "So, have any ideas on how to respond to our situation?"
It was about then that Klaus had finally managed to freeze the tentacles to a crystalized state.
The knock on the head sent him flying for the rough asphalt. As he slowly got up the spiritual energy grazed his shoulder.
Klaus was already on the attack, firing liquid nitrogen at Dennis's chest.
He had no idea what kind of a hero he was facing, but Klaus was sure that he could take him. Denis didn't look that tough.
Then again, appearances were decieving.
Martin barked his answer.
"ENOUGH!"
He stomped on the ground for effect and a dark shadow emanated from his feet.
"All of you, off of Klaus, NOW!"
His hands wreathed in darkness, he stomped toward the fight.
"I am so sick of this crap! We have a mission!"
He pulled Brutish away from the ice and sidled around the patch.
"You!" he shouted at Dennis, "Get away from him! Now!"

OOC: *sigh* Nobody answered my question.
BIC: Unluckily for Klaus, Ghoul had simply slammed one foot through the ice after slipping around for a second. Unluckily for Ghoul, he regained his balance several feet away from the mad doctor and thus was completely out of arm range. Unable to do anything but fume for fear of falling flat on his face and getting shot, Ghoul glared at Klaus until Martin grabbed him by the shoulder and yanked him off the ice.
"You don' gotta tell me twice," Ghoul grumbled. "I was just jumpin' the [censored] for shootin' at a buddy's back. You want me to stop coverin' you all, just say the word."

((I haven't got a clue on Unyielding. I have a grand total of two toons with Invul... a level 5 Brute and a level 11 Scrapper. That's why I didn't answer the question, anyways...))
Energon X nodded to Ghoul. "And for that you have my thanks." He glanced at Klaus. "We have more important things to worry about now than you. But if you try to attack me again, I will put you through a wall and shred your fancy suit to tiny pieces. Are we clear?"
He turned back to Martin again, then glanced at Dusan. "Given what we're dealing with, the multi-Rep may have nothing at all to do with the Council; it may be an illusion on the part of the ubergoon, another faction, or even some kind of inherent defense of the Malleus Mundi. Kid, can you sense the City Rep's soul from here? We're not far from the cells now." He shrugged, a quick rise of the white-and-gold shoulder plates, then glanced back at Martin.
"By the way, Mr. Sanders; when I mentioned 'talking' to the Council? I meant that quite literally- I was part of the security detail for a hostage negotiator from SERAPH to reclaim one of their professors from Council captivity. I wound up join up with my team and rescue the hostage negotiator as well." The synthetic voice took on a wry tone. "Of course, those Council bases didn't exactly survive the rescue, but that's fine by me. The fewer of these psychotic space-Nazis running around, the better.
He paused, gliding forwards to glance invisibly around the corner, then glanced back. "So... yeah. You can't negotiate with the Council. And as to why I kept walking into traps? SERAPH kept insisting that this time, it would work, and they're the ones paying the bills, so..."

Dennis looked at Martin and blinked, a bit taken aback at the man's sudden outburst. "Well, excuse me for defending an ally..." He muttered, floating to the ground and regaining his composure via deep breathing and shutting his eyes.
"So I assume a plan was made while we were off dancing with the good doctor?"

Dusan shook his head, his eyes meeting with E-X's visor. "No can do. It'd be difficult to pick up her soul due to A) I've never actually been in the presence of her, therefore, I have no idea what it feels like, and B) The rest of the Council have souls, making it difficult to just pick out the one. I have mastery over souls, I'm not entirely adept at tracing them."
Dusan walked forward to join the group, eyeing Klaus warily shoul he attempt something else.
Klaus raised an eyebrow.
"Vait, vat ze hell are all of zou doing here? I thought I left zou at ze frigging sewers! Zis is rediculous. First some [censored] reprograms Clockvork machines to attack my base, zen you guys show up. Can't a mad doctor get any rest around here?"
He took a moment to catch his breath. Somewhat defeated he decided to take a seat on a small stack of boxes next to him. As he sagged his shoulders and gave a huff he tried to relax and concentrate on making sense out of the rediculousness of the events happening around him.
Dax let out a laugh, "50? That's it? You're slowing down in your old age, I lost count after 70."
Dax lurched forward as a grenade hit him in the black and exploded by his rear. "Who ever just tried to give me a colonoscopy is about to get a crystal colostomy bag coming out of their throat" He said as he turned throwing an 18 inch spike toward a soldier who had a shocked look on his face. The spike hit the soldier in the chest and erupted into several smaller ones that flew toward the other soldier's, who were currently taking pot shots at Dax, faces.
"Hey Bladewing. You ever seen a Roman nose lock?" Dax asked as he picked up one of the soldiers. He ran a crystal through the soldiers nose. . .then through another soldiers nose. . . .then another's nose. He took the sharper end of the spike and planted it in the wall. "You do that and they are never gonna be right for the rest of their lives, but they will think twice about messing with you the next time they see you."
