Darclight tore into the Supermen, only to find himself surrounded, simply unable to effectively win individual fights when he was outnumbered ten to one.  That alone wouldn't have stopped the space warrior, except that in the devastated city, there simply wasn't anything to get in the way of the Supermen attacking from 14 directions at once.  The Supermen scored several cheap shots from behind, denting his armor while he struggled through the crowd.  Then Sunflare jumped into the melee, using plasma powered punches to scatter the Supermen, who retreated into the subway tunnels underneath the city, blasting away the remnants of the street while they tunneled towards the Geofront, heedless of her attacks, causing a great deal of swearing and anger from the Japanese people.<br/><br/>The Supermen burst upward around Duncan Durant, holding massive chunks of the undercairrage of Tokyo, and they finally spoke, in an eerie unison.<strong>"Capture is unacceptable.  We will serve the will of Master Liu.  Do not stand in the way of enlightenment."</strong>They said cryptically, before trying to bury Duncan under a massive tomb of concrete and rebar.  Their grim duty accomplished, the Supermen unleashed a huge wave of light from their eyes, which blasted over the ruins of Tokyo in an attempt to consume the remaining three heroes, letting loose all the force that they were capable of in one amazingly powerful blast.  Darclight got the worst of it, while Skyshard was comparatively immune to reprisals, up in the sky as she was.<br/><br/><br/>(Everyone is now in team affiliation die)<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>Team: 2d10<br/>Devastated City 1d8<br/>Uncreative 1d4 (+1d6 doom)<br/>Superhuman Durability 2d10<br/>Doom Die 1d10 (-1d10 doom)<br/>Expert Supermen 1d8<br/><br/>5d10,2d8,1d4 → ([4, 7, 5, 4, 10], [8, 3], [4])<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3607723/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3607723/)<br/><br/>Drop the 10 for burst, 8+7+5= 20 total, d10 effect die, applied as physical stress to Darclight (-1d6 doom)<br/><br/>The doom pool stands at 2d10,d6<br/><br/>Team 2d10<br/>Kaiju Proofed 1d8<br/>Uncreative 1d4 (+1d6 doom)<br/>Superhuman Durability 2d8<br/>Superhuman Speed 1d8<br/>Expert Supermen 1d8<br/><br/><br/>2d10,5d8,1d4 → ([9, 10], [1, 6, 2, 8, 4], [1])<br/>Drop the 10 for burst, 9+8+6=23 total, d8 effect die, exceptional success x2, applied to the doom pool (-1d6, +1d12 doom)<br/><br/>The doom pool stands at 1d12, 2d10, 1d6 </div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Supermen Attack</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>Team 2d10<br/>Highways to Everywhere 1d8<br/>No individuality 1d4 (upgrade 1d6 doom to 1d8)<br/>Superhuman Strength 1d12<br/>Electromagnetic Pulse 1d12<br/>Expert Supermen 1d8<br/><br/>2d12,2d10,2d8,1d4 → ([6, 5], [10, 5], [7, 5], [2])<br/><br/><strong>Drop the 10 for burst, 7+6+5 = 18 total, d12 effect die to cause physical stress against Duncan Durant</strong><br/>The doom pool stands at 1d12, 2d10, 1d8<br/><br/><br/>Team 2d10<br/>Powerful 1d8<br/>Metal Metropolis 1d4 (upgrade d8 doom to 1d10)<br/>Energy Blast 2d8<br/>Expert Supermen 1d8<br/>Area Attack 2d6 (targeting Darclight, Sunflare, and Skyshard)<br/><br/><br/> 2d10,4d8,2d6,1d4=[8, 10], [8, 3, 8, 1], [2, 1], [3] (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3607758/)<br/><br/>Drop the 10 for Burst, 8+8+8= 24 total, d8 physical stress to Darclight, d6 physical stress to sunflare, d4 physical stress to skyshard<br/><br/><br/>The doom pool stands at 1d12, 3d10<br/><br/></div></div><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong><br/>Supermen Wave 2 calls Duncan Durant!</strong></span><br/><br/>Acted: Supermen Wave 2 (1d8 physical stress, team 2d10)<br/><br/>Waiting: Darclight (2PP), Sunflare (1PP), Skyshard (2PP, Evacuated City d12, d6 physical stress.)<br/><br/>Stressed Out:  Duncan Durant (2PP, d6 trauma)
