Horizon grimaces, looking at the two new arrivals and holding herself in line with an effort of will.
"Like you'd even know the meaning of the word. What now then Edward? You've losing your friends, you've lost your principles and you're about to lose this fight. Going to run from me again? Not so powerful after all are you..."
Edward smiles, "oh we'll dance Cass, I've always wanted to see how tough you were..."
He turned to look at Horizon, "as for the rest of you...," he let out a sharp whistle and a manhole cover was pushed aside nearby, barely able to squeeze itself out of the sewers came a large, green, glowing Shivan.
"Steve, play time..."
A massive ball of radiation built up in Steve's claws as he held them above his head, hurling it down towards SH. Ed looked at Cass and dived forward, "let's see what you're afraid of..." he reached out to touch Cassandra's mind and bring her worst fears to the front of it.

A real showstopper!
Cassandra smiled as Edwards hand touched her, and kept smiling as her left hand whipped up to uppercut Edward as her left reached for his mechanical arm, even as the familiar touch of fear flowed over her, finding no strong foot holds.
"That won't help you Edward, i came to terms with these things a long time ago, they don't own me anymore"
Standing on a roof she spots the commotion, on patrol, "So this is where the action is." pulling an arrow out she notchs it and leaps, sommersaulting mid-air letting the arrow fly it bursts into a phoenix flame and flies staigth for the Shivan gaining speed and momentum as it flies, a lullaby-like song starts to play apprently from no-where, drawing most's attention to the arrow and falling figure...

..From the loft space above the King's Row tenement ...
the eye bound head of Justice Delivered watched the unfolding fight .. with a lack of any expression or emotion....
while the bent hooded form beside him seemed to get more agitated with each passing second ....
"what are they saying .. can they beat him ... who is that female there ....."
" it matters not until judgement has been passed ...i can not act .. still that Edward is perhaps to reflective .. he may bring about his own end ...., you still want to make the television message for Edwards followers ? .."
" what oh yes later i want to see him bleed a little ...there is time yet ..."
Bringing her legs up to her chest instictivly she hits the ground, cracking the tarmac and asphult, "Argh!! That hurts." Standing up she fires a volley of arrows at the Shivan, standing almost right behind it...

He reached out to see if the android Seven feared anything so that he could bring it to the surface, he had his doubts, such constructs are rational beings and he knew that fear was something they all seemed to lack.

In a control room in Peregrine Island, Eric Needlebaum's fist hit a console with sufficient force to make every technician in the room jump. "What the hell was that?! Why has she shut down? If I hear 'power surge' again I will personally sign all your resignation letters."
"We're analysing the read outs now, sir," one of the braver technicians barked. "We should have an answer, err... well, it wasn't a power surge..."
In King's Row, Seven's apparently lifeless form collapsed onto the road surface like a marionette with the strings cut.
(( I hope that was unexpected... 
))

The blood-red pigtails of Masha Romanenko flapped behind her as the Russian made her mad dash to Crash's position.
Operative Romanenko headink for her co-ordinates right now! In ozher vords: patience, Grasshopper!
I'll get Grasshopper on your a- Crash's threat was interrupted as the borderline size-zero form of Mashup ducked behind the ex-racer's cover.
"You're late." Crash uttered.
"Lonk story, okay?" Masha groaned, taking a quick peek at the trouble behind them. "Vhat have you landed yourself in zhis time, Lil?"
"Long story too." Crash answered as she peeked over too. "Okaaaaay... we can help take on the big blue ugly over there, ya think?" the operative gestured at the Shivan quickly before a quick look about revealed the 'lifeless' body of Seven. "Crud... or we can go see what we can do for Robochick."
"Robochick!?" Masha blinked before shaking her head. "Let somevone else vorry about her. Preferably somevone who knows her innards, you know?"
"Right, right." Crash then gestured for the both of them to stand up, revealing their position fully. "HEY, ET!"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

"Gee, cower much?" yells to Crash focusing back on the shivan, plunging her flame sword in and slicing it but apprently to no effect...

"Oh *hell* no..."
Wolf blasted backwards, using his jets to propel him, hopefully out of the blast radius. He had tangled with the Shivans in Bloody Bay before, and this looked like a big 'un.
The young man rolled upright, thumbing back a switch on his weapon. The little pilot light snapped on at the front of the barrel, and Wolf tapped the canister that nestled in the guns workings, the liquid clonking reasuringly inside.
"Three words, pal!" Wolf yelled, even as the Shivan stepped forward to the rank of Heroes, "Burn in hell!"
Ice powers might have been Wolfs speciality, but he would never refuse extra firepower. The flamethrower kicked in with a 'thump' and a hige gout of flame spewed out towards the sickly green glowing Shivan.

Horizon looked up as the glowing orb descended, trying to judge where it was going to land. Dashing back she was surprised to see it curl in the air to follow and at a dead run she tried to make it to a door knocked ajar by the fight.
Even with her enhanced reflexes and speed she wasn't fast enough, the ball of radioactive energy crashing into the ground and throwing up the pavement underneath her. Tossed into the air like a rag doll Horizon reaches out and grabs a nearby lamppost, swinging round it and then sliding down to her feet, sword held out to her side, looking a little dishevelled and out of breath.
"Living goo, if you had eyes maybe you'd have hit me ugly!" she cried out to the Shivian.
Bringing her sword up defensively, Horizon starts to manoeuvre back towards the green monstrosity. She'd not found a thing this sword couldn't hurt yet and she didn't expect to find it here.
Edward saw the tangle he was in...he whistled to Steve, "well it's been fun but I'm clearly outmatched here.." he pressed several buttons on his arm bringing up his now familiar escape plan.
"See you some place in time ladies and gents..."
The Shivan took the battering with a grunt and a growl...however something kicked in, it's cybernetics whirred and flashed, the Shivan disappearing without a trace.
"I wont be risking my finest business partner to the likes of you people...now...since I wont be needing this arm anymore.." he pressed a few buttons and disconnected it...the arm fizzling and crackling as a countdown came up on a small LED display.
Edward stepped through the portal which closed behind him.
10...
9...
8...
7...
The arms countdown continued as the crackling of electricity and venting of pressure within it grew more intense...

Cassandra Growled and threw the arm hard in to a clear patch of sky.
"Don't come back Edward"
She turned on her heal and stalked away in to the surrounding city.
Sam collapses, clearly her injuries catching her up, "Argh! Hell!" she grimices trying to move to a comfotably posistion to activate her medi-port but it's not working, "Oh damnit..."

Leaping over the top of the car he was hidden behind, Azure Arrow dashed over to where Seven had fallen and started trying to move her out of the way of the battlefield. "No time for napping, Seven!" He grunted as he began his efforts.
A shadowy figure who seemed to be obscured in a black formless cloud watched the end of the fight, there was a sigh of frustraition and a echoy womans voice that came from the figure said, "Oh, we were too late my pets, a pity, it seem's the heroes don't play fair, who would have thought it? Next time we will be on time".
With that the figure turned and a black liquid eminated from her and she covered a wall in this substance and sunk into it emerging on the inside of the building and she made her escape. Her 'pets' followed her, they were two robots of some kind infused with the same shadow stuff that she was and they phased though the wall with her.
The end is just a new beginning, Goodbye all my coh friends and even the enemies, its been a blast I will miss you all. Thank you Paragon team, you gave me a home from home I will always appriciate it.
The arm detonated harmlessly in the clear sky with a loud explosion.
Edward had already returned to Darwins Landing as was in the process of attaching his new arm.
"there...now...what to do next...it seems my old compatriots at the Unity Vigil are causing me the most trouble...they shall be my next target."
((dun dun DUUUUUUHH))

Crash and Masha looked up at the explosion, somewhat speechless, Crash herself merely twitching in her left eye again.
"Failure?" Masha broke their silence as she continued staring was what remained of the ineffective blast.
"Failure." Crash responded in kind.
"Thought so." Masha added as she finally lowered her head and drew her attention to the 'lifeless' Seven and Azure. "Vhy don't ve... go help him, Lil?"
"Uh, yeah... sounds like a plan." Crash answered, prompting to two of them to dash over to the two. "Hey-hey-hey! Need a hand or would ya just be happy destroyin' your back like that?"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Seven's mouth opened and she said, "Dave? That you?" Then the light in her visor flicered back on as her systems fully rebooted. She regained her feet and reactivated her defensive systems. "Thank you for your assistance, Arrow. I have regained operational status now. It appears that Doctor Johnson has, once again, escaped."

Azure Arrow glanced over to Crash. "She's up and about now, but thanks..." He said, before looking to Seven. "Who's 'Dave'?" He asked somewhat curiously, before shaking his head. "Doesn't matter."
Sitting down with a slump, he folded his compact bow away. "With all the fighting and strife happening, didn't want to risk any friendly fire. Slim chance, but I'd rather not get shouted at."
Seven smiled pleasantly. "I am afraid you would be required to clarify. There are a relatively high number of variables involved in your query. However, if it does not matter, I shall give my thanks and those of Section 19 for 'saving my hide.'"

"That's the important thing." Arrow Azure said before standing. "Anyway, I'm sure there's more chaos going on thanks to that nutter Mechano, so I'm going to swing off and round the shoppers up. They're fanatic for staying in the store after closing."
Notching one of his grappling arrows, he fired it up to a rooftop and secured it to his bow. "See you all around, and Seven? Maybe we can have that drink sometime. Work on your puns and quips. They're coming along!"
With that, he began ascending the building to begin his prowl for more late night shoppers.
Horizon clicks her teeth irritably as she sheaths her weapon, crossing her arms and tilting her head back to think.
"Got to be a way to block that, he's making a fool of us here..."
She noticed people were filtering away and Cass had already left in a huff. Hopefully a shop was still left open.
"Nicely done all. Hey, anyone know where I can get a notebook around here?"
Attaching a pad to her leg the nano-bots start to work on the broken tissue and bones knitting them back together quickly soon she stands back up and manages to bounce off towards the next fray

Wolf coasted down until his feet hit the street, the draft from his jets letting him pull level with the other heroes gathered around the dark Doctor.
"You should know by now, they dont call this place 'City of Heroes' for nothing," he said quietly, reloading a grenade. "And numbers dont really matter. It stopping your insanity thats the whole point."
He glanced at the others, then back at Edward.
"Lets dance..."
