Mecha Sue and her small group of lizards, now only 4 large lizards and two pools of freezing metal and biological goo, slow considerably. Not only that as they begin to slow their bio-luminescent glow seems to fade, leaving only the slow upward green pulse through a second set of subdermal leads and tubes. The Lizards lurched, their motions were quick jerks from one position to another, with long pauses. Even their swiveling eyes and laser-scanning beams moved slower. Around Mecha-Sue's metallis legs the ice cracked off but quickly reformed into a new layer of ice. The lizards defenses were now full of holes, and their barriers began to fail as the temperature continued to drop.

The Lizards still managed to get a few shots off, though in their cold-weakened state the lizards only had the energy to attack or defend, their shield went down each time any one of them fired, and stayed down for a few seconds. The Lizard Skjótfœri had abducted struggled the whole way and seemed to slow down right as the others began freezing. However as it hits the water it struggled until it sinks, too heavy for any flailing to keep it afloat.

______________

Technosis shot another chain of lightning at the lizard then formed a chain and started trying to zoom across the side of the buildings and yank the lizard off it's feet. "I haven't got a clue, I'd say lucky guess here, the flowy things on his back, or somewhere in the head?" He called through the comm as he let the chain go, finally and used another to swing around and zoom on the side of another building. "They might adapt to the cold, I don't know, but it seems to disrupt their nervous system too, not sure why but it makes sense, they're cold blooded."

Mecha Sue was snapped backwards into the barrier when its struggle to pull backwards against Technosis, was turned against it. Its head crashed into the barrier, at the same time the large lizard collided with the the pulse blasts from Titan 10. Mecha Sue was knocked into her lizard guard, and they were knocked off their feet as well.

Terry pushed his hands forward and threw up one of his barriers of energy, thick hexagonal plates outlined themselves in the air in gold and white lines around the monsters, though they were warm and permeable to people he wanted in. He had his hands on the barrier and a look of concentration on his face.

"Now that the barriers down, I'm gonna try absorbing the Machina Mana they've collected, seems like they've been using it for defense." Terry gritted his teeth and his aura flashed as he absorbed and stored the green mana. On his skin similar green pines appeared, and his aura became blocky and almost... lime... "I don't think I like this very much." Terry poured the energy into his barrier to strengthen it.

____________________

Tobias was having trouble seeing in the cold and lime green bubble he'd jumped into to slice and dice at the monsters in the bubble. He recalled why they scared Kami so much, they looked similar to the demons who killed her tribe, so Tobias and her monsters went in, while Kami continued casting defensive spells, or recasting them. The webbing Mar shot at the feet now froze them to the ground for Tobias, Tengu, samurai and unicorn to hack at. Though Kami's creatures didn't seem to affect the lizards for more than a second. Tobias only managed to carve up one enough to get it to melt into a pile of inert goo!

"Gods! I think Tech's right." He talked into the comm at some point while resting. "We need to keep up the cold, and maybe get somebody else to shoot at em... I had to cut at the spine a lot to get it to go down." He hated snow... His aura receded now that there were others doing heavier hitting. He shivered and went for the next target. His goggles were the only reason he could see in the encapsulated mini blizzard.

___________________

Kindra was staying well and far back from this. In fact, she was trying to figure out a way to get the hell out, it seemed like the real heroes had this under control. She was strong, she thought, but this was something she hadn't prepared for, and she was not sticking around to learn. Though she was far too close to the fight to stop now. She was on one side of the green, gold and white barrier, Tobias the other. She groaned and put her hands forward, extending her psychic pull and trying to work with Psionette to create mass confusion and dismantlement of Mecha Sue.

The lizards did continue to climb over Mecha sue, now that she was sluggish and prone, and tear off many vital pieces, and green pixelated vapor pours out of the tubes and ruptures, the glowing sections of the armor seem to leak every time they pulse. Now even the slowed larger units are tearing at what they can reach of Mecha Sue. Luckily they're close.

Aoi finally managed to make it outside the building. The block was in chaos. Aoi timidly stepped on a lizard squishing it. "So gross!"

Mar rushed over to where Terrance was. "I help!" Mar wasn't looking too hot there were clear marks where lasers had hit and burned him. "Nasty things to tough for me now even slow. Bigger ones got claws and burn hotter then little nasty." He easily picked up Terrance with four of his six arms "You need special chair too? Other boy in metal thing couldn't walk either."

-----------------------------------

Blood was dripping out of her nose and she lost focus of the water she was condensing. "I'm going to try something! I'm going to increase the air pressure around those things everyone get back, I try to capture the cold air too!" She maneuvered the air cushion and started walking closer to Mechsue. As she did the cushion shifted closing around the lizards forming a full bubble and she started drawing in more and more air into that confined space. Anyone inside would start feeling like they were at the bottom of a swimming pool as the pressure slowly increased. "Hurry up and get clear I won't be able to do this twice... not sure if I can crush them even but I'm going to try!" She did something similar once with a small safe.

"It's not that... It's trying to move and hold as much.... air as I can." There was now a breeze as air moved in to replace what she was putting into the bubble around Mecha sue. "How much PSI can you handle tank? That thing part biological right so it should be less than what you can take. But I can crush a steel safe with this trick, it's the SIZE I'm struggling with. Never tried to crush something so large." Okay she slipped there her mind was so focused on increasing the pressure in the bubble around Mechasue.

It took much longer for Evaine to get downstairs than it did for her daughter to get back into the fight, even though she started down the stairs as soon as she saw Skjótfœri pick up Garret. She opened the door within half a minute, and pulled Garret inside by his shoulders, and kicked the door closed before finding a couch to lay him on.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Skjótfœri, meanwhile, stopped short of the bubble of compressed air around Mecha-Sue. Something at the back of her mind was bothered by this.. something about compressive heating... She looked to the boy getting back into his suit and remembered noticing, but not being bothered, by the cold. "If you get that suit running again, would a heat sink help?"

Aoi hunched down and threw her hands over her head. As far as she knew she was indestructible, but that didn't mean she had courage. She was regretting coming to this city more and more every moment. Explosions and blasts of elements or chemicals, or energy or whatever were going on all around.

Putting her head between her knees she tried to be as small as possible.

Tobias was in the bubble of compressing air and moisture. He was technically fine with the pressure, his bones were strong enough to withstand it. It was a bit like increasing the gravity. He managed to swing a few times at the lizard before he realized he couldn't continue if the pressure rose much more. He grabbed the suit and tried to fly out. In bubble around the prone Mecha Sue and her two surviving super minions, the glowing aura wings lit up the whole bubble before Tobias broke the surface with the suit and landed near Signy.

"Okay... so... when the bubble drops, I doubt they'll be completely dead, left or right?" Tobias glanced at Signy. "Do we need this?" Tobias asked, indicating the suit he managed to fly out with, looking around for whoever was in it.

______________

"I'll try?" Terry didn't even try to aim into the bubble, no it was probably a better idea to try and work with what Flux was already doing. He left up the barrier for now, and created a pole of energy, zooming into the air thirty feet above the bubble he fired off several waves of gold and white energy into the bubble. It wasn't a very accurate burst of energy but it didn't hit any of their allies. Terry created another pole midair and barely managed to catch the two ends on the roofs of the buildings on either side. From there he blasted more precise shots, though he was having trouble seeing in the dense fog in the bubble.

______________

Technosis spread his turrets around as he made his way to where everyone seemed to be clumping, behind Terry's barrier. They were basically just laying down continuous fire into the bubble and hoping to hit. "We've gotta be close to making this thing die!" He groaned as he threw down other devices, one spun around the orb of high pressure and shot scans into it, another was scanning from above. "I think I need to invest in a barrier perhaps..." He mutters as he watches the inside of the bubble...

______________

Mecha Sue was quite a powerful cybernetic monstrosity. Psionette and Kindra's combined assault on the drones that had clung to Sue, cause them to continue to tear away at vital mechanisms until they were crushed under the pressure of the orb. The two bosses were crumpling and attempting to regenerate the damage, while Mechasue was washed in the goo from the dead minions. Mecha Sue managed to get on her feet as they were beaten repeatedly by bursts of energy, and break through the surface of the bubble. Nose first, then arms like it were tearing through a solid object. Its arms rained more missiles down, even as its legs were being crushed, the mouth opened and shifted grotesquely until a huge cannon emerged from the techno-organic maw. It then blasted upward at Gold-Fire, then sprayed both sides of the street.

Mar did just that "What are gauntlets? Oh you mean the gloves! Okay I got you." He looked around for the suit in question someone took off with it and soon he spotted Tobias. "Hold on I have to run it going to be bumpy." Then he started running not quite as fast as he did before and not with the acrobatic free running style. No he was careful not to drop Terrance.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Easy for you to say!" Then Mecha Sue head broke out of the pressure bubble and fired. That was it her focus broke for a moment the air bubble was going to explode outward but she quickly gained enough focus to control the rush of air upwards. It was an instant blast of air rushing at perhaps 300 miles per hour out of that pressurised bubble. It was also over in a second and half. She collapsed face down on the street out cold.

With the mechanical dinosaur out of the high-pressure cell, Skjótfœri lunged forward and slammed her fist at high speed at the bottom front of the lower jaw, seeking to snap it shut. And if it bit its gatling-laser tongue, well, that would just be to bad, wouldn't it?

Aoi had felt some heat as she sat their huddled in a ball. Is this what these people did all day? Maybe she should stay somewhere else.

Aoi sat up prepared to find a different place to take shelter when she noticed that the heat she had felt was a laser blast shredding most the back side of her clothes. Her blue skin glistened in the light, totally flawless as if nothing had hit it. Even dust seemed to avoid setteling on it. Aoi turned a shade of purple only a blue skinned person could as she rearranged the fabric that was formerly her outfit. Well she couldn't go anywhere like this.

Aoi ran back to the tower clutching the rags of her former cloths as best she could over herself.

This was the second worst day of Aoi's life.

Skjótfœri dropped down from Mecha-Sue's jaw and looked up at the energy leaking out. There was that one component on the back... She leapt up onto a fire escape, and sped up it, pushing off from the roof to leap and grab at the pack, bracing against the spine and pulling...

"I don't know, best bet is to have it high when it goes off, a huge vertical push? Do you have an ETA?" Terry asked over the comms as he rose with the orb and poured energy at it to try and push it higher and build up a push to launch it when it's about to go. Technosis was tilting his back and forth, tapping through the holographic displays on his gauntlet and his goggles.

Terry was pushing energy out of his feet to stay in the air, it was actually slightly funny to watch him recover from nearly doing the splits from too much kinetic energy in one direction or another...

_____________

"I..." He glances at his HUD and taps through holographic displays, calculations and sensor readings, his two little sensor probes orbited the mass now. "I'd say a minute ten seconds, not long enough to de-nature or destroy or use all the mana... We have to get it up, I'm not sure, and being conservative, so... " Technosis shakes his head, then shrugs and wonders He sighs and shrugs another time, tugging at his hair. "One minute..."

"It's just theory, I never tried making explosives before, the energy yield of an energy to an explosive force is... well... easier, more efficient, this thing might be able to level two or three blocks, at full capacity, more if we'd let it self destruct with more mana... We're not gonna get it much higher are we? " He winced and tapped out commands on his wrist. He smiled ecstatically at the mana battery. "I can use this, this was kind of ours to begin with!" Technosis sighed and hooked the tubes to his backpack and then continued calculations.

"Can you jump up to that?" He asked, taking things off of his belt and getting tools. "If you can make it a third or more, I think I can help you get up further, once or twice." He handed her a pile of devices and then smiled. "Jump up, plant those discs on the barriers, put the two pringles chip looking thing, on your foot and press the button, set it forget it, makes a small pulse of energy that lets you, basically double jump. It takes a while to recharge." Technosis had an expression on his face that looked like he was not excited to send her up their either.

"It's all very experimental... Also, try to give it a good kick, or something, your seem... Very strong." TEchnosis added, like an after though. His nerves were showing, and frayed, as he pointed a shaky hand at the orb, seconds from exploding. None of the buildings near by provided Technosis with a way up either, he was grounded,

A handsome and smiling young black man turned the corner at that moment, his head moving to the beat of whatever song was playing on the crimson iPod strapped to his arm. He stood about 6'0" and was well-built, weighing about 200 lbs. He was wearing black Chuck Taylors, dark urban camo pants, and a white shirt that said "Geologists do it in the dirt".

He stopped dead when he saw the gathering of costumes and a big ball of... something. Not sure if they were friendly, he tucked the ear buds into his shirt, then reached towards a nearby patch of dirt. Earthen stone streamed out of the ground and surrounded his hands and forearms like a huge pair of protective mitts. He approached the group, giant arms swinging casually at his side.

"So... what's going on? I sure hope you guys aren't super-villains."

Skjótfœri nodded "He's right. If we follow this street just half a mile, we're at the bay. That street and a quarter mile and we're at the channel. If you lower it enough I can push it I'll have it in the bay in seconds."

"So, judging from what you guys are saying, that ball of goo is going to explode? I could take it underground." the black man said. He knelt nearby and placed one of his huge earthen hands to the the dirt. His eyes closed and flicked back and forth rapidly, as if he was asleep, for a couple of seconds.

He stood back up and looked back at the group. "There's a vein of copper two miles down and three miles outside of town that is in a vaguely spherical shape. An incendiary explosion would flash-melt the copper and it'd form a giant bubble that would help the surrounding granite to contain the explosion and radiation, if that things going to produce any."

"Yeah sure. I already mapped a route through all of the underground facilities and I can traverse it in... 26 seconds. Which, if you're calculations are correct, we are rapidly approaching. And like I said, that vein is three miles outside of town. But if you're going to let me do this, I have to go now." the young man answered, looking up at the giant robot with zero apprehension clouding his face.

As if to accentuate his assuredness, earthen stone streamed out of the ground nearby and surrounded him completely until he was roughly one and a half feet taller and two feet wider. He held out his hands for the goo ball.

Terry landed and held up the blast with one hand, His entire arm was encased in energy in a column of white and gold. He gritted his teeth.

"Okay, seriously, decide then. " Terry glanced at the new guy encased in stone.

________________

"Right..." Technosis gritted his teeth. "Just feels a bit like outsourcing... The copper deposit sounds like a good idea, we can monitor it too, mind if I put a tracer on you?" He asked, stepping aside.

The stone giant held out his arm and a small pit formed in the rock covering his forearm, so that Technosis could drop the tracer in. He then covered his arm back up.

"If all goes well, I'll be back in a minute or two. If I'm not, see that my family knows." he said, his voice now a grating rumble. As he said that last part, a leather wallet extruded from the stone covering his leg and he plucked it off, handing it to Technosis. He raised a column of stone through the road to support the goo ball. Once it had the weight, the stone grew up around the goo ball, then dropped back into the earth. He dove in after it, the ground sealing back over behind him.

Technosis dropped the tracer on him and pulled up a 3D map on his gauntlet. He was currently pulling his hair and the curly, short ginger locks tufting through his fingers when Garrett kissed him. He basically froze and melted, not literally, but he certainly relaxed. He blinked as that ended a bit more quickly, or slowly? Than he had thought and checked his map, face red as his hair...

"Okay, I've got his signal, not long now..."

_________________

Kami took down her barrier when the stone man sunk into the earth, she was staring quietly at the spot, hoping to not hear or feel a massive boom. She could still feel the pulsing mass of magical energy as she dropped to the ground near Tobias and started to shake a little.

"I'm okay." She grinned and smiled a bit too well.

________________

Tobias shook his head and put an arm around Kami, watching the kiss of Garrett and Technosis with a bright red grimace. He looked away, wrong direction, there's Signy, looked the other way and turn redder. He clears his throat and remains grateful he has his demonic form to hide his facial expressions. He groans as his mind wanders from the kiss over to one side, then his transformed state. He would be naked if he turned back now...

_______________

Terry watched quietly and put his arm around Sabrina as they handed it off to the stone man. "Hmm.... Tobias, Signy, Tech and Garrett, stay here and wait for word from us, or the mystery marble guy, Psionette will you come with me to where he plans to set it off, we'll dig him out if we have to." Terry glanced around at the rest of the team and concentrated on making the jets on his hands and feet, and looked a little too pleased when he succeeded. He was still running on adrenaline, perhaps no sleep either. When was the last time he'd gotten a night off?

_______________

The bomb started pulsing harder as they got close to the copper deposit they planned to nuetralize with it. The Fungus started to fail as it left Garrett's vascinity of control. The energy the shrooms soaked up was poured back into the goo, but too late now. The pulsing grew stronger once they got within range of the copper deposit. The bomb gave a few more warning pulses before it would go off. The energy that the mushrooms dumped was uncultivated energy though, nothing transformed, so it was blasted outward and energized the copper and other ores nearby. The result was a glowing sphere, the mana reacted with the copper, fusing and basically transmuting it into other copper compounds, almost gold chalcopy, iridescent purple and teal bornite, transluscent and iridescent purple covcellite and black almost transparent chalcocite. The copper and its compounds made elaborate designs in the copper, and either the explosion was smaller than they thought, of the minerals combined with the energy created an unintended reaction. Though it was really cool and beautiful...

Flux woke up and looked around "Where... " she noted the bracelet was showing so she quickly hid it. "Am I? Look just let me go okay."
----------------------------------------

Mar blinked not sure what happened "We won? Bad thing gone?"

"That place is a smoking pile of ash. If I knew what it was like in there I wouldn't have taken the plea bargain and gone to jail. I can vanish I don't want to be a crook I was desperate. They would write me off as a corps or one of the missing."

Terry grinned and smiled, pulling Psionette up with him when she kissed him, then let her back down. He zoomed off while everyone else celebrated. He was half excited to try out the new trick he learned, leaving strange twists and turns of glowy streaks through the air as he gets the hang of it, then zooms off towards the explosion sight. The cracks in the earth still seemed to pulse as the copper technomagical orb created from the blast pulsed in the ground through tonnes of rubble.
______________
Kami calmed down as Tobias held her for a few moments. She took her backpack off and stuffed her pouch of cards in it. She huffed quietly, mostly at the deck she had used in. She hadn't expected such a thing to happen, and she couldn't use all the cards she needed at a time! She snorted again and hugged Tobias gently before letting go.

"Thanks, since it's all clear now, I'm gonna go fix a few new decks..." She noted also making a better way to 'play' with the team. She ran back to the base and avoided the inert pool of biomass and nanites.
______________

Tobias blinked and blushed at the mental 'prod' from Psionette. He turned back to Signy since Kami was either okay, or hiding well. His big brother mode was off, but the distraction was enough to remind him his face was always red when in his demonic form. He hoped he didn't look too scary.

"So..." Tobias eyed Garrett and the others than swiftly caught Signy's hand, stepped up til he was facing her, a whirl of darkness went up around them. Everyone else would notice the swirl of darkness, and then promptly forget, unless they had psychic barriers. Tobias' light bending came with a 'somebody elses problem field.' making anyone simply ignore unless exceptionally interested or psychic, the slightly human shapes that your eyes couldn't quite see when you turned your head. Inside the barely two-person invisibility aura, it was cold and didn't look much different from normal.

"Sorry... I um... wanted privacy for a moment and for the skulls..." He was grateful he could control the form as he closed in. "Peer pressure, and we survived, and I saved you?" Tobias grinned slightly, as he had hoped the metal form responded and only his face mask shifted out of place. Though his six pairs of flat horns along his scalp, still protruded through long blond hair. He leaned forward and tried to kiss her instead of stammering on with more reasons why he was doing this. Success, fail, or disgusted/confused recoil, at least they would be invisible.

Tobias laughed, actually enjoying that she took the initiative after she figured it out. He blinked and raised his eyebrows. He was a bit out of breath, since he held on as long as she was willing. During that kiss he'd put his arms around, but never noticed the shredding.

"Okay, okay, I still saved, something." He shrugs and then clears his throat. "I can't change back right now..." He tried not to explain after his stammering. He dropped the invisibility since they weren't touching now... "I really needed to go to the maul..."

Cam was more exhausted than he realized. He'd actually dozed off right there in the depression. As his sleeping mind felt the brush of Psionette's mental probe, he subconsciously brushed away whatever was bothering him, then snorted and rolled over onto his stomach.

Cam grunted and woke up slowly, his eyes opening blearily. He was bewildered for a second, then his mind caught up and he remembered what he'd done. Stretching and yawning, he got up in a rather unique fashion. The earth underneath him pushed up and forward like the building crest of a wave, carrying his body until he was on his feet again, at which point it receded back into the ground.

Looking down at his clothes, he concentrated for a second and all the dirt that was staining them fluffed off in a cloud that slowly settled back to the ground. He smiled and looked around, sure that... something had woken him up.

Kami was inside helping out as best she could. The base hadn't taken any damage at all! Some how they'd stopped the advance of the monster, which was as tall as their base. It had barely gone a single block from it's spawning point. Kami however was more concerned with Aoi. Once she realized the girl didn't understand much english, she started trying to think of her translation spell and attend to other things. New clothes, she remembered that, and Tobias needed some! The supplies had super costumes? Kami grinned and went down stairs and was very meticulous about the whole thing, though her idea of what would look good for Tobias and Aoi to wear may not be their ideal. She didn't even know Aoi, except that she was not well dressed, so she just picked something that looked good, with the outfit she picked out for Tobias, she did a shift spell on their clothes.

Then ran up stairs to the living room to see how Aoi liked her costume! Kami flopped down on the couch beside Aoi and grinned. "Do you like it huh?" She smiled, broadly and leaned on the back of the couch.

____________

Tobias grinned at her shirt and looked down at himself. He needed to find something to wear... Going all demoned out might raise some suspicions... Just as he was ready to turn back to look at Titan 10, and lamented the fact that his fingers were sharper in this form, his clothes changed to something else. Kami was picking from a whole tonne of self repairing generic costumes. Tobias ended up being teal and dark grey metallic, with a belt, the shirt had a green strip but short silver sleeves, and the pants were mostly silver and teal, baggy and went to his ankles. Tobias shifted back to his human form, his jacket, fingerless gloves and boots appeared after he shifted. "Sweet, Sorta..." He didn't like hero get ups... He reached for Signy's hand.

"I like the shirt. And I think the Maul could definitely cure the ails a woeful whovian." He grinned and turned back to the large mech addressing them and explaining the situation. "I'll help out any way I can mate. I mean, the place ain't just a flat." He thumbed at the wanderers clock tower with the glowing green hands and huge glass face. "Goldy said it was for young people with powers who need help, I'm in the fight was awesome." He grinned and finally went quiet.
______________

Terry chuckled at the display Cam made as he got up in the middle of the glowing cracked sink hole. He ran his fingers through his hair which was starting to sag from sweat. "Wow, well... Guess we should clean this up..." Terry shook his head and zoomed down at the ground, turned off his jets then tumbled on the ground until he landed a few feet away on his butt.

"Not good at landing..." Terry coughed and glanced at the hole in the earth that was glowing green from the artifact left behind by the explosion... "Did you do that?" Terry stood up straight and walked over, waiting for Psionette to follow him in... "Good job guys, Your comm is still on speaker Tech, I could hear the lips smacking." Terry teased then cleared his throat. "Go ahead Titan, she's got Wanderers support if she helped us out."

___________

Kindra had used the portal to get up onto the highest building in earshot of the gathering of heroes, and hid herself with skill far beyond her years. She crouched and listened carefully to what was going on and smirked. Her presence was powerfully masked, but a powerful psychic might notice how trying to look at the top of the building two doors down and one story shorter than the clock tower, was like your eyes were sliding on a sheet of glass past the rooftop.

___________

Tech chuckled and rolled his eyes at Garrett, still actually being a busy body. After the fight, inspite of how he ached, he was collecting samples of the still viable technology and organic matter.

"Oh this is awesome..." Laurn grinned,scooping up, with tools from the finger tips of his gauntlet, thick slimy samples of the green and silvery puddle. "Oh I really have to collect and purify this stuff.. Oh man there's so much containment to do..." Technosis tugged his hair again and sighed loudly, tossing off a few small flat oval drones to skim the area for the goo and other stuff he wanted...

As the others discussed what to do with Flux, Terrance woke up with a loud yawn. "Hey, you guys! Did we do the thing? I'm guessing we did, since it's not here and we are!" he called out as he waved his arms over his head before nearly falling off the building. Fortunately, he managed to re-balance himself before he fell to what would have either been his death, or a severe case of embarrassment.

Cam watched bemusedly as Terry landed butt first. He gestured with his hand and a similar bulge of earth grew up underneath Terry, lifting him to his feet. As it did this, he walked over. He stuck his hand out to Terry. "Hello again. Name's Cameron Wells. But you can call me Cam. Or Rampart, if you prefer aliases."

Tobias nodded at Signy's question about the royal blue, he was going to have to 'find' some money on some thugs... He had an awful idea... He grinned then went back on topic and thought for a minute about the battle. He was in the middle of a blizzard, he remembered sprays of guts and metal, lots of hot stuff, lots of angriness... He really let in on the battle rage, though it seemed like a calm controlled rage this time... The demon inside was somewhat quiet, but he remembered Technosis and his chains, Gold-Fire must have been the gold flashes...

"Yeah we kicked it's sorry arse. Hey did you see?" Tobias glanced at Terrance who was on the ground, only in danger of embarrassment. "I think she was creating the wind and moisture? I can't ell temperature well in my demon form." Tobias shrugged. "But I think the cold guy needs the suit to do stuff." Thumbs at Terrance.

_________________

Tech tilted his head left, then right, almost robotically, then covered his eyes shaking his head... He smoothed his hand down his face, a smile appearing when his thumb and index finger reached the point below his lips after tracing his whole face downward.

"It's late. I work on modes, and this is too cool for me not to geek out!!!!" Tech sighed and walked back kissing Garrett briefly once properly then on the nose. "Geek-Business mode now. Geek fun mode later, I have great ideas for the base...." Technosis has a maniacal grin as he skates gracefully back to the goo they were collecting and organizing on the spot. "Make your plant thingies not drool in it, and separate the different chemical make-ups? Anything that's not homogenous..." He shrugs. He's got atleast five 3D images up of completely different things as he managed cleaning up the street. "Woops! Comm was on! Shit!" Rapid tapping of holo-buttons.

_______________

Terry smiled looking just slightly up at the man. He taps his ear to turn off the comm before he answers. Chuckling at the last of Tech's commentary. He brushes himself off then, annoyed by the dirt on the yellow, flares energy up his body once, which blasts off the dust. "Ha, wonder if that'll work on all my clothes? Er... Sorry." He shrugs.

"Terry Wallace." He shakes his hand. "Gold-Fire in public-costume situations. Thanks for the help Rampart, I'm gonna assume you didn't do that then..." Terry points, leaning over the hole down to the glowing copper orb... "That's weird... I'll tag it for Tech on to check out on missions... Can you bring that up?" He sighed and was already going through the menus to do so with his eyes on his goggles. Terry's goggles didn't show anything but a slick gold surface surrounded by silver frames of the near-helmet.

Once the orb was out of the hole in the middle of the pit, Rampart was able to approach it and lay his hand on it. He began to probe its interior structure with his earthsense and was surprised by what he found. "That's interesting. It's not just a lump of copper. It's very intricate inside, almost like... circuitry?"

"yeah I was pulling moisture from the air and channeling the air into the bubble trying to compress that ... Robot dino. Moving that much air caused the wind as more air moved in to fill the void." She looked at Titan 10 "Of course I won't run I said I wouldn't resist. Besides I don't have any shoes on, I haven't thought of a way to use my powers to travel so simple flat footing it my only means of going anywhere." She brushed some stray strands of hair back behind her ear. "The name is Grace Harper. No I'm not a loony, that was part of a plea bargain my Lawyer got so instead of Jail time I got the Happy Farm."
