Hotshot came rocketing out of the bank, flame aura bursting into full bloom as he cleared the structure.  His clothing was actually still wet and steaming, as his power still hadn't fully evaporated the ice --<br/><br/>And behind him came a terror, an amorphous mass around the size of a car that looked like ice but still flowed like water.  Chilly Pete's grin was massive and looked almost like a parody of a human expression, and he laughed as he gave chase -- until he suddenly encountered a torrent of mystic fire.<br/><br/>That laughter became a howl of pain and then<em>rage</em>, and the monster whirled in place, condensing water out of the air into a sudden onslaught of razor-edged ice.  The pavement was sundered and frozen, cars were torn nearly in half, and even the Spoiler couldn't manage to evade the mess.  Just as it seemed several massive, pointed icicles were about to test his regenerative capacity, though, he felt Kismet's power<em>shift</em>-- and the wind picked up in time to shift the ice aside, so that it skittered across Metamind's force field and away instead of piercing straight through.<br/><br/>The storm of ice smashed into Hotshot as well, but luckily one last panicked burst of fire propelled him away from the worst of it.  He rolled to a stop on the ground behind a nearby truck, panting for breath.  He might have been bleeding, but not badly as yet.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">The Spoiler hits (using autofire flame attack); Chilly Pete is bruised and injured.<br/><br/>Chilly Pete hits both the Spoiler and Hotshot with his targeted area attack (what a dick).<br/>The Spoiler is <del>staggered, disabled, and stunned</del> totally fine after spending a villain point.<br/>Hotshot is <del>staggered, disabled, and stunned</del> stunned, bruised, and injured after benefiting from the Spoiler's villain point.  (He misses his turn this round due to being stunned, but will probably be able to act next round.)<br/><br/>(6 villain points remaining.  Aren't Kismet's powers great?)</div></div>
