Daniel was out wandering a bit, himself. Despite his own advocation of the new 'don't go out alone' rule, he got restless occasionally, but he did at least TRY to be careful. This time he was heading towards the Strand to see if he could talk to Harry Dresden about possibly implementing the crab-hunting strategies they had considered at Aya's breakfast meeting. He was almost there when he spotted someone he didn't recognize walking down the street across from him ( ... )

The crab suddenly shuddered soon after a sharp burst of wind flew just above the heads of the two men standing within feet of the creature. The parasite shuddered, lost its footing, and tumbled to the sidewalk. Two more sharp gusts of wind, and the crab let out in unearthly shriek, its legs grasping for traction... despite the fact that two of them were now rendered completely useless ( ... )

Roy snapped back to reality as Daniel appeared, one hand closing over the lighter in his pocket. He was instantly alert, but he saw no trace of anything he might need it for. His eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced at the man beside him and started to ask something when a sudden wind went over his head and the crab fell to the sidewalk. It shrieked after two more hits and Roy winced at the noise, pulling out the lighter. He flicked it open and snapped his fingers, directing the flames to the crab and allowing it a small explosion.

"That's the biggest one I've seen yet," he commented. He turned to the man beside him again, a controlled, smug smile on his face. "Don't think we've met before, have we? I'm Colonel Roy Mustang."

Daniel ducked reflexively when the familiar wind blast of a rifle shot went over their heads, caught off-gaurd by the sudden gunshot. As the crab fell to the ground (and exploded, what the heck?), he straightened and searched the sky for the source of the gunfire. He finally spotted...that guy who he had ironically never gotten the name of, but he recognized him from Spock's arrival at the internet cafe. "Where did he come from?" he muttered. "Convenient." He gave the guy a short wave to show that he'd seen him ( ... )

There had be no sign of the so-called "super crabs" in the vicinity of Rockefeller University or any other place he had deigned used himself as bait. Were it not for copious amounts of network traffic on the subject, he could scarcely believe it was anything but an elaborate hoax. Perhaps, as Fran had surmised, the faint stench of gore and decay from their own kind acted as a sort of ward. He'd have to find a functioning dry cleaner someday.

The supposition that this new breed may be easier to find in the more densely populated area of the island was soon confirmed. A gunshot, a curious sound of bursting flame, and Stein rounded a corner to find two stranger figments hovering over an exceptionally large and exceptionally....burnt, specimen. Oh, no no no, that wouldn't do at at all. Stein began to approach the two men as the obnoxious clacking of claw-like appendages caught his ear, a smile crossing his face as he noted something ever so slightly off about the sound of it. Hmm. Not so much a waste after all, one way or another.

Kincaid finished descending the fire escape, landing deathly silent in the alley. He paused again, listening for the parasites and heard them, louder this time. He looked up and around him - ah. The walls. He hoisted the rifle onto his shoulder and ran out into the streets, reaching into his jacket pocket for... there. He snatched the homemade grenade, and tossed it underhanded into the alley.

Then he easily jumped over the hood of a parked car that had long since been ransacked and waited for the inevitable blast. Subtle? Not really, but sometimes unsubtle was the best way to go for mass destruction of those crabs.

"It's alchemy," he said with a smirk. "And yes, I do know her. She's my Lieutenant." The smirk faded as Roy turned at the noise, ready to blast some more of the parasites if necessary. He shot a wary glance in Stein's direction, not missing his smile and the way he looked at the burned crab. There was something... off about this guy, but he couldn't tell what.

But while that was something he might have to look into, there were more important matters to deal with. He followed Daniel quietly, keeping alert in case there were any sudden movements or noises. The military might be corrupt, he thought grimly, but they trained their men well.

Wow. When things happen fast, they really happen fast ( ... )

One of the Super crab's leapt through the air, massive jaws yawning wide to tear it's prey to shreds ( ... )

Peter had been finishing up the webshooters he'd been working on since the Basilfield incedent. He straped them too his arms and was about to test if they worked, when he heard the commotion outside.

Well, it looked like they were gonna get a trial by fire.

He lept onto his windowsill an fired a webline at the nearest building with a satasifyingy familiar thwip. And as he swung over to the crowd, he couldn't help but let out a excited "yahoo!" It had been too long since he did this.

The supercrab probablly didn't know what was hit him when Spider-Man connected with one feet first. The acclerated kick sending it into the wall.

"Hey, who started the party without me." He said as he landed on the ground

This whole situation had quickly become a fiasco, a whirlwind of violence carried out by all manner of oddly dressed figments. Stein would not have guessed the other denizens of this realm would be so vigorous in the elimination of the parasite creatures; his own experiences so far had led him to believe that the vast majority of the inhabitants were incapable of defending themselves to any meaningful degree. Whether his observations were inaccurate or he had simply stumbled head-first into a statistical anomaly he did now know, but now was not the time to weigh the issue ( ... )

justplainfolk July 7 2009, 04:12:33 UTC

Kincaid swung the rifle back around so it was firmly strapped to his back - good for distance fighting, but looked like things were going to get up close and personal real quick, and he only had one another grenade with him. Better leave that to chance. He quickly scanned the scene for the others who had now gathered, only raising an eyebrow when Dresden appeared. Figures - the kid was always in the midst of things ( ... )

"Well, this has certainly turned into a party," Roy said, smirking. And one of the guests used fire, though not very well. Well, that could be fixed easily. He raised his right hand and snapped, manipulating the flames so they went flying at the crabs in a more controlled manner and exploded on contact.

That's how you use flame alchemy.

He watched as costumed kid appeared - what was that costume supposed to be? He managed to restrain his laugh to a mere chuckle; it looked ridiculous - and kicked the nearest crab into the wall. And then the guy with the screw in his head - he'd thought some of the people back home were strange, but this was beyond them - smash another crab.

Maybe it was a motley crew that had gathered, but they were certainly proving themselves useful, he decided with a small smile. They weren't quite as efficient as his men were, but they'd do just fine.

Daniel was REALLY starting to envy all of these superhuman types. It didn't take much to realize that he was the only poor sap here who had to rely on a gun (and ONLY a gun). The grenade guy was zipping through the crabs like an olympian (sharpshooter) on a playground; Roy and Harry were shooting fire; Peter/Spider-Man was making dramatic entrances and super-kicking crabs into walls; and guy-with-a-screw-in-his-head was hurling them onto the ground with his bare hands.

Dang, I may have to step it up a notch, or I'm going to make all us mortal people look bad, he thought with a wry grin. Now that they had some more help, he was a lot less worried about winning the fight. Much easier to focus that way ( ... )

Suddenly, a crab skittered by and collapsed, gushing blood from it's head region. Standing a few feet from it was Thomas, a short sword in his hand and a gun in the other. He was also lacking a shirt. Why was he without a shirt ( ... )

soulswordpixie July 7 2009, 05:35:54 UTC

As a crab was moving behind Thomas, a figure dropped fist first onto the crab's head, in a classic double fist to the top of the head. A simple and classic move for heavyweight X-Men. Cute petite little Megan would not do much to it normally this way, but since she put on her full armor, gift from Mr. Stark, this was a much more sizable impact. Add in she came down from a higher than normal point in the sky, gravity and weight did all the work there. Her metallic armor would be fierce and intimidating... but it was still covered with painted pink flowers ( ... )
