Soldiers<br/><strong>Alias:</strong>Daniel Stark, Karen Cross, Unknown<br/><strong>Time/Date:</strong>0143 6 Apr, 2102<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Scav Mart<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Everyone<br/><strong>Mentioned:</strong><br/><strong>NSFW Warning:</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Daniel semi crouched before Kaia, trusting his armor to call out any shots directed at her and Daniel as the self proclaimed Princess of Asgard.  From the build up of pure elemental fury gathering about that portion of the ruins of New York, Daniel was seriously starting to believe her claim that she might indeed be the daughter of Thor, and what was standing beside him really was the Goddess of the Storm.  Before Daniel could think about that more, Athena's warning system went off and once more, the semi-reflective looking disk of pure force energy snapped in place and deflected the incoming projectile.  The round was no where even close to threatening Daniel or Kaia, but Daniel did not want to take any chance.  Daniel's eyes went back to the ruins were the flankers were at, wishing to God he could see what was happening inside.  All he knew was that time was running out by the continuing build up of meteorologic energy about to be unleashed.<br/><br/>Daniel gritted his teeth, and just as the lightning flashed and stabbed down upon the ruined building like spears cast by the divine.  Again and again the lightning struck, turning a building that had survived the Sentinel War and everything that followed into so much rubble.  Daniel started to loose hope as concrete and other construction material exploded when being super heated by the unleashed primal elemental energy.  Steel girders that were the bones and skeletal structure of the ruins melted under the onslaught.   Kaia truly brought down her anger and wrath upon those inside the building.  No one could have survived the primal fury that Kaia unleashed upon that structure, not even Daredevil.<br/><br/>Then from the flames and the ashes the dark red form launched forth, her hand outstretched as laid herself out and grabbed forth the lifeline Moon Knight had given her.  The man must had a better vantage point from his airship that allowed him to put himself at the right place and the right time, and Karen had timed everything almost down to the tenth of seconds as to when Kaia's power would hit the building and those inside it.  Electrical power arched all about the inside of the building, slamming and flowing through one soldier after another as Karen looked on information being fed to her as she was hauled up into Moon Knight's airship.   Karen disengaged herself from his form as she took a look about, her armor feeding her data about his airship as he spoke.  She did not argue or ask question, merely gave Moon Knight a short, professional nod of her head and sat down at the station, pulling up the control interface and lining it up among the smoke and ash and debris that once was a building and now was nothing more than scrap, seeing if anyone survived.<br/><br/>From the initial rush of the group, the power of the furious storm that was raining down hard upon the ruins of Scav-Mart and everything in a ten block radius about the area, only five men staggered out in some form of fighting strength or ability.  They were far from stupid and began to pull back now, retreating and laying down cover fire.  Once more Daniel came into play and expanded his energy shield, rounds deflecting or shattering into metallic shards, providing what protection that he can for Kaia as she controlled the storms power and directed it.  Daniel eyes narrowed at the retreating forms and he shouted into the wind and rage that was the thunder storm about him and Kaia, his audio outputs up as high as they can.<strong>"They do not escape.  These people do not come into our territory, kill people under our protection, and get to run away.  No fucking way!"</strong><br/><br/>At the edge of the storm, the Leader continued to watch under his stealth field.  His own eyes narrowed at the information his own armor and system was providing him.  This night had not gone exactly as planned.  Had it only been this Shield or Daredevil character, they might had handled it, but the combination of all six of these individuals, working as they did, proved to be more costly than estimated.  The Leader activated his communication system as he spoke to his superiors.<br/><br/><strong><em>"Yes, this is Alpha.  Resistance at the target far superior to the assets in the field.  Recommend withdrawal and reassessment.   In fact let them open up and trip whatever traps Stark and his kind left behind.  They would be formidable as they would had been designed to take on an Omega series Sentinel.  We can always come back.  We proved here that the Tower is on-line, and we have data on those that would oppose us.  It is not a loss, merely lateral move instead of a step forward. Yes?  Good, I am bouncing.  See you back at the lair.  Crossbones out." </em></strong>With that, the man that was the leader of this assault, stepped back into the night and headed to his evac point.  It was time to cut bait and run.  There will be another time, and that next time, he will be prepared to take on even Asgardians.
