Museum - Hopkins

Hopkins took a brief glance at the broken hilt of his sword before tossing it over his shoulder and drawing a pair of silver stakes. He'd replace his sword once this was over, but for now he needed to escape or kill the trio before him. Opting to escape and hunt down each of the three individually, Hopkins hurled a stake at Natasya and Durga before walking away from the Museum saying "Know that you cannot three cannot hide from me now. Mark my words, I will end your blight on mankind soon enough." With that, Hopkins walked into an alleyway and began slowly making his way away from the Museum.


Tyr/Gunnar Sundström - Streets of Rail

Officer Gunnar Sundström and his partner Corporal Miller had been receiving reports of a three way battle between a Pimp in a flying car, a what appeared to be a Robot on a robotic Dragon and some flying I Dream of Jeannie looking girl. Naturally, Sundström wanted to investigate despite his partner's decided non-interest in the matter.

Upon arriving at the scene of the battle, Miller turned to Sundström and said "Look Sundström, I know you get involved in some crazy shit on a regular basis, but you sure you wanna deal with a freaking robot Dragon? We can wait for backup if you want"

Smiling grimly Sundström responded "Aye Brother Miller, I do want to 'mess' with this dragon. Those before us are all lawbreakers and thus must be punished in accordance with the laws of Rail." After a brief pause, Sundström added "Worry not brother, I've dealt with more fearsome beasts in the past. This rabble shouldn't be too difficult to deal with."

Stepping out of the car Gunnar drew Brandr and shouted "ATTENTION LAWBREAKERS! You are under arrest for disturbing the peace and endangering innocent citizens of the City of Rail. If you choose to resist arrest, I will be authorized to use lethal force to ensure that you no longer threaten the city of Rail in any way."

That said, Sundström began waiting to see how Garnet, Heavy Metal and Ripchord chose to respond.

Alannah, Near the tea shop

With Bananimal distracted by the luchador, Alannah made her move. She charged forward, having snuck around behind the angry supervillain, every available inch of shadow around her sprouting tentacles. The chimps had been able to break her glass, and this guy looked stronger than his chimps right now, so the tendrils she used were thick, treetrunk-sized appendages that went to coil around his arms and legs and immobilise him. She wouldn't let up if those found purchase, either, continuing to wrap additional tendrils around limbs and body every few seconds.


Vigil, the warehouse

Vigil had maneuvered the Watchdog around so it could look - and aim - through the open warehouse door, focusing her cameras on the figure standing opposite Ammy. She wasn't sure nets and water cannons would be much use against the sort of firepower she'd seen on display here, however...

While the Bananimal was still distracted, Riza continued to transform herself.

The bananimal did a backflip off of the hydrant to get out of the way of Alannah's tendrils. As he did so, his foot was no longer in front of the hydrant and sent the water shooting forwards again.

As he jumped out of the way of the tendrils, one of the ones to the side wrapped around his left arm, getting him stuck.

"SMASH!" he shouted, trying to pound on the tendril with his free hand and the hydrant cap it was holding.

Ritz-Carlton

"Thank God!" Robert whispered to himself, safely stowing his new take-home gift in one of the empty seats at the table. Thanking the wait staff as they brought the lobster he'd ordered around, the old man immediately dug in, lest Dale or Strongarm interject some remarks that would obligate him to wait through more of their drivel.

Idly, he wondered what his daughter was doing for dinner tonight. Out somewhere in town, no doubt. She'd declined to go with him on the basis that the event would be "long and boring". Well, she'd certainly been right about that. Sighing to himself once again, he chewed forlornly on his tender lobster, trying to focus on the exquisite texture instead of his excruciating lack of intellectual stimulation.

"Yeah!" The blonde young woman nodded enthusiastically. "Do you think you could start me off with some chips? I think I'm going to need... some more time to look over this."

Indeed, Max's eyes were practically glued to the menu in rapture. Even from just glancing over the selection, there were so many things she wanted to get! How am I supposed to choose when it all looks so good?! Maybe I could just get one of everything...? Unbeknownst to the young mechanic, all this thinking about food had kicked her saliva glands into overdrive, and a line of drool was beginning to work its way out one side of her mouth.

Richard nodded his head and smiled. "I'll be right back wit' yer chips then, I'll bring a nice hot bowl of salsa 'n queso fer ya as well." He said with a grin before heading to the kitchen.

Ritz-Carlton Hotel

One wouldn't think a two story flying lightning death train could be stealthy. After all, it made a ton of noise, it was a giant eye sore, and the owner of the vehicle tended to love blasting classical music out from its oversized speakers constantly. And even taking those into account, the rider also loved to ham it up on said speakers to announce his presence to the world, because there was no way a magnificent villain such as him could go on without an introduction.

So it was a bit of a surprise when said train suddenly smashed through from underground, wrecking havoc on the recently recarpeted floor and ruining several fine diners' experiences by crushing their tables and their bones, and also collapsing the nearby wall as the engine smashed itself upright.

Only a bit of a surprise though; this was Rail, after all.

"How DARE you have an extravagant event without inviting THE MOST SOPHISTICATED MAN IN ALL OF RAIL?!" The Conductor's voice roared through everyone's minds, the stairs from the front car descending and crushing the table of a rather large woman who refused to move because of some simple riffraff. "SUCH THOUGHTLESSNESS IS UNFORGIVABLE! NOW...!!!"

The Conductor quickly glanced around the room. "...where are the hors d'oeuvres and what is this about, because I have no idea."


The Flying Suplex - Kitchen

"Your hands are quite thorough..."

As Richard stepped into the kitchen, a certain familiar, teasing voice hung in the air. However, rather than being directed towards him, the words danced into the ears of poor Raul, the cook marinating the meats for fajitas. Against his back pressed Cassandra Tal, hands massaging into his shoulders, the playgirl leaning over and onto him, watching him at work.

However, at the sight of Richard stepping in through the kitchen doors, Cass turned towards him and smiled, keeping right where she was. "Ah, Richard, I hope you don't mind me paying a visit so late~"

Raul looked to be on the verge of having an anxiety attack from Cass' advances, until she turned to Richard, he let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief that she wasn't 100% paying attention to him now.

Now it was Richard's turn to grow flustered as he stopped completely in place. "Uh, Cass, h-hi...I d-don't mind...I j-just thought ya skipped out 'f town w-when ya didn't show up f-for the fourth." He said with a gulp as he stepped to where they kept the chips and salsa. "Y-ya mind g-givin' Raul space? 'E needs it ta work."

Cassandra Tal - The Flying Suplex (Kitchen)

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry I didn't make it to the barbeque," Cassandra sighed, leaning into Raul. "I was helping comfort the Venusian prince after he learned his one off fling turned out to be a terrorist. It was a long, arduous process... but quite fulfilling, ultimately." Remembering the past few nights with Zalyn, a grin crept up onto her face.

Giving Raul's shoulders one last rub, Cassandra slipped off the chef as per request and slid over to Richard's side. "But how has your week been, since I've been gone?"

Museum

Durga ducked under the first stake to throw herself at the second one, batting it away from Natasya. The other silver stake embedded itself into a nearby wall. She glared at the spot Hopkins was before he left.

"He got away..."

"What exactly is going on here? The silent alarm's been tripped," a voice said from behind Natasya. Belinda stood in the doorway, looking sternly at the three of them.

The Museum

"He didn't get away." Jesse corrected Durga. "We let him get away." When Belinda's voice came through, she turned around and jumped back, the same jets as before sending her flying away from the museum. Once she was far enough for the others to not see her, she would go around the museum, heading for the back...


The Warehouse

Ra stepped forward, knocking down servers as he walked towards Amaterasu. "I am the God King Ra!" He boldly announced, pointing one finger at his enemy. "And you, proprietor of this establishment, will pay for trying to use these machines against me!" He clenched his fists, charging up another sun blast, attempting to 'slice' through Amaterasu with it.

Rail History Museum

Not being particularly vigilant at the time, Natasya visibly flinched back, as the silver stake imbedded itself into the doorframe close to her head. Dropping the heavy fire extinguisher in surprise, causing a brief spurt of foam to fly out in the process, Natasya only just caught the sight of...Jessica? Flying off.

"It's a shame the zealot gets to-"

Again, distracted, Natasya visibly jumped at the sound of Belinda's voice behind her. Fortunately, this time she wasn't holding onto a heavy fire extinguisher.

Settling herself again, as she realized no one was launching anymore pointy objects her way, she turned towards Belinda "I-...that might require some time to explain."

Through all the havoc, it had slipped Natasya's mind to slip her odd necklace back below her shirt. And while not particularly incriminating, it was an oddity that stood out.


The Streets of Rail

Heavy Metal seemed to visibly twitch, in a robotic approximation of a blink of surprise, before turning towards the new arrivals.

"AH! NOBLE KEEPERS OF THE PEACE! YOU ARE MOST WELCOME HERE, ON THIS GRAND NIGHT! COME JOIN US IN CONSOLING MY WORTHY FOE, IN HIS DEFEAT! THE BARON HAS SURELY EARNED HIS ACCOLADES IN THIS BATTLE, AS SURELY AS THIS THOROUGHLY RIGHTEOUS VALKYRIE! LET US LIGHT THE NIGHT SKY WITH A GRAND CONFLAGRATION UNTO THE ROBO-DEMONIC OVERLORDS, AND THRASH THE LAND IN A CELEBRATION OF SMOKE AND MORTALITY!"

While Heavy Metal didn't seem to be making any hostile movements, his...curious speech patterns might not make it clear exactly what the robot intended on doing.

"Ra? Never heard of you." She said blandly. In truth, she had heard of him over the past few days, especially since the chaos he stirred up at the museum. "Regardless, neither the pooch or I am the proprietor of this...fine place."

Streets of Rail - Officer Gunnar Sundström/Tyr

Gunnar didn't much care for what Heavy Metal had to say unless he explicitly stated that he was going to come quietly. Noting that Heavy Metal failed to mention his plans to surrender and in fact said something about "Demonic Overlords" and "Thrashing the Land" which did nothing to calm the giant Nordic man down. Stabbing his sword into the concrete of the sidewalk he was standing on, Gunnar walked over to the back of his and Miller's squad car, popped the trunk open and removed Skjoldr from where he'd left it. As he began strapping his shield to the stump of his right arm, Gunnar took a brief moment to stop and have a brief chat with his partner.

"Brother Miller."

"Yeah Sundström?"

"I am going to put this mechanical monstrosity down"

"Alright, what do you want me to do?"

Grinning, Gunnar said "Whatever you feel like doing my friend, I'd rather you didn't die before your retirement"

"Sounds like a plan. I'll try and keep most of the force off of your back while I do whatever the hell it is I end up doing, I know you like to handle shit like this yourself." With that, Miller did a quick U-Turn and began driving off to some other part of town while Sundström did his thing.

With his shield firmly secured to the stump of his right arm, Sundström tore his sunglasses off of his face and extracted Brandr from the pavement where he'd left it before pointing the blade directly at Heavy Metal. "You have resisted arrest and threatened this fine city with your reckless violence. Thus, I, Tyr, Lawgiver of the Æsir, challenge you to single combat!"


Ritz-Carlton - Daniel/Crackdown

The very moment The Conductor's train tore through the floor of the hotel, Daniel bolted from the room and sent a brief radio message to his fellow security types "Try and evacuate the attendees as quietly as possible, this guy seems like a nut. I'm gonna go get some back-up and see what I can do about getting the police or fire department here so they can get this 'gentleman' out of here." before dashing to where he'd left his crime-fighting gear.

After a few minutes spent loading all of his guns and getting the rest of his gear on, Crackdown headed back to where he'd left The Conductor. Deciding that it'd be in his best interests not to use lethal force quite yet, Crackdown drew his riot-shell filled sawed off shotgun and walked into the room. Pointing his gun at the Conductor, Crackdown barked "What the hell do you think you're doing? You could have killed someone!"

Cassandra Tal - The Flying Suplex (Kitchen)

Cassandra cupped Richard's cheek and smiled. "Not at all; as they say, good things come to those who wait." Her hand lifted from him, slender fingers waving back to Raul, before her heel turned towards the dining room door. "An hour, then. Perhaps I should have some dessert while I wait. A bit of flan would be lovely this evening..."

With that musing, Cassandra slipped away out of the kitchen, and into the main restaurant.


The Conductor - Ritz-Carlton Hotel

The Conductor looked at Crackdown incredulously, as if he spoke nonsense instead of English.

"I'm joining the banquet, of course!!! Is that not what I announced upon my introduction, you foolish simpleton?!!!"

Spotting the food tables, he proceeded to help himself to what was on offer, apparently oblivious to the mess made. "And it's not my concern whether or not oafs have the mental capacity to move out of the way of a moving train..."

"...Boss? Thank you." Raul said after she left.

"Don't worry Raul, she's 'armless...mostly." Richard said with a grin as he filled a basket with tortilla chips and grabbed a bowl of salsa. "I wouldn' worry about it. She ain't a bad person." He turned to one of the other cooks, Claudia, and gave her quick instructions to start making her special flan before heading back out into the restaurant proper.

He made a beeline for Max's table and set the chips and condiments down in front of her. "'ere ya go."

Dragon

As the chimp's foot was off the hydrant, Uniscorn (who had just got up) was suddenly hit with a steady stream of water.

"Alright - that's it!!!! I'm normally eager to help a fellow animal brother out but this is too far!" Uniscorn screamed and then started firing his twin pistols as many times as he could at the Bananimal. He wasn't going for accuracy per se - instead just focusing on hitting as many things near the monkey as he could.

Near the Blue Dragon

The sounds of gunshots shocked Angelo out of his staredown. He looked back and saw another superhero shooting guns all willy-nilly at everything.

"Hey, watch your fire, Tex! That last one almost hit me!" he yelled at the newcomer.

Some of Uniscorn's hail of bullets hit the Bananimal, wounding him in a few places and driving him into a deeper fury. However, the majority of his shots that missed made their way towards the nearby Alannah and her tentacles.

The misses that wound up hitting and shattering the nearby tentacles freed the criminal for a moment. He threw the fire hydrant cap quickly at Uniscorn's torso, and then leaped at Angelo like a cannonball.

The majority of those who had won a gun during the raffle brought them out, and began to fire on the Conductor. The rest of the crowd - those who weren't so fortunate to win a gun today - were forced to rely on the weapons they had brought with them, resigning to draw their concealed-carry guns and shoot.

"People of Rail, we apologize for the interruption," Dale said from the podium. "Security. Security!"

Alannah, near the Blue Dragon

Alannah swore as the villain managed to avoid most of her attack, moving in closer and redirecting the tendrils that had missed back up to reinforce the one that had managed to snare him. However, she was forced to snap most of them back into a shield as a hail of bullets smacked into the road near her and smashed the tendrils holding the Bananimal in the air.

"Damnit! I had him, you idiot!" She yelled at Uniscorn, furious. "Coordinate with us or get lost!" With that, she ran towards Angelo and the Bananimal, gathering up another 3-meter wave of crystal in front of her. "Wrestler guy, Hold him!"


Vigil, the warehouse

Ra. Attacked the Rail Museum a few weeks ago. Tentative classification - high-level pyrokinetic or energy manipulator. Not the most ideal opponent. The Watchdog dodged out of the scything energy beam with a burst from its boosters. sliding to a halt and re-training its cannons as Vigil thought.

He was trashing the warehouse without a care, and apparently believed he was fighting the place's owners. A ruse? A genuine coincience? Was her hacker setting two enemies against eachother? Not enough data to tell one way or the other.

"We didn't come here looking for a fight." She broadcast over her external speakers. "We'd like to find this establishment's owner as well. Stand down before someone gets hurt!"

Stephen Armstrong. Owen remembered the man when his pappy used to talk about the great wrestler, somewhat of a cultural figure in the city of Rail. He had been born a whole generation late to enjoy the legacy of the wolfman, but a party is fun regardless of one's age. For him eating is optional, but a lobster meal is an obligation.

The statue didn't find any seats so he does what he always do, find a secluded spot in a corner and pose. It is one of the benefits of being a statue-man, besides fighting he would often be offered gigs in art schools where he would be asked to pose in the nude. Being still is another thing that comes naturally, so he always come on the afternoon where he would take his naps and remain immobile. Now he is positioned next to a table, with a lobster in each hand.

Seeing as he only had lobsters on each hand the statue tries to aim, his position is not very good and with his poor aim he throws two hot items at once.

Streets of Rail

"BWAHAHAHAHA! RECKLESSNESS IS SURELY THE MOST THRASHING OF MORTAL QUALITIES!!" A moment after making that declaration, Heavy Metal began to shift his limbs about, rolling them in their joints. It seemed almost like the robot was limbering up, as the metal of it's sockets and joints whined and screeched from the movement. His recent fight with Baron Bitchslap seemed to have taken a toll on the already temperamental machinery that made up Heavy Metal.

"TELL ME, OH EVEN-HANDED WARRIOR, WHAT LAWS SHALL GOVERN THIS MOST RIGHTEOUS COMBAT?!" Moving his hand to his back once more, Heavy Metal retrieved his battle-weathered axe once more. With an easy flourish, he brought the weapon around before letting it rest along his front. He seemed to begin idly strumming a chord on the guitar-portion of the weapon, as he awaited his second challenger.
