No one was looking her way. Which was just what she'd hoped. One chance at the element of surprise. Putting her hood up over her face, she slouched down a bit, and suddenly became indistinguishable from any other teenage spectator gawking at the horrible act of cruelty that was going on. From there, she ducked lower, and then began to run. Slipping through the crowd effortlessly, just another individual in a school of fish. By the time she reached the first two purifiers, it was too late for them

Purifiers followed her as she ducked and weaved through them. Their agility was impressive and they didn't really stumble amongst themselves. One got close enough to feel the threads of the girl's dark hair. That person got a quick bullet to the skull from Who Know's Where.

Deadpool was watching from a couch, a bag of chips at his side, the television on under the open window, and a sniper rifle wedged at his shoulder. He could see through his sight the headshot and thanks to the lag of live television watch an instant replay on the tube. He pumped his fist. "BOOM! Headshot. Triple points."

Stryker watched the girl as she battled his Purifiers. Hmm. Two had been sacrificed already. They weren't equipped to handle her for long, skilled as they were. She was certainly not human, the claws proved that much. He made a mental note to demand from his supporters the funds necessary to purchase heavier armor.

Despite this, she would make a better subject than his usual quarry-

Wait. A third man had been killed; she wasn't alone. He switched on the comm for No.5 and ordered him to quietly step back into the shadows, hopefully out of view of the gunman- the girl's apparent back-up. "Try to find her friend. He or she is across the street; behind the crowd. Likely above them, as well."

To No.7, he said, "You are now on hostage duty; step behind the victim, out of the line of fire." Stryker had given these orders quickly, but unfortunately not fast enough. Another of their comrades had fallen in the time it took him to talk.

As No.5 stepped back into the shadows of an alleyway, he had just about figured out the trajectory from the sniper's bullet when a large, silvered hand clamped down on his shoulder.

"I hear you do not like mutants?"

Piotyr had been hoping to come down the alley and surprise the Purifiers, and perhaps rescue the girl, when he came upon the one. The Purifier managed to bat his hand away, possibly due to power gloves or something, but didn't have sufficient head gear to withstand Colossus' left hook.

That taken care of, Colossus looked out on the battle being waged between the lone woman and the fanatics. Seeing one of the men take up a position behind the prisoner, he decided to charge out, attempting to scatter the girl's captors and help in the rescue.

Nightcrawler had actually been away from the Mansion this evening. He was out enjoying the sights of New York City. Courtesy of the Holographic watch that camouflaged his true form. Now he simply looked like any other young adult wandering the streets. Well, except for the blue hair. He wouldn't feel right without it anyways

Posting Order? We don't need no steekin' posting order.

"This just got a lot more interesting." Deadpool muttered before shoving a handful of chips into his mouth and getting his crunch on. He ejected the first shell from his gun and could hear the second round lining up even over the sound of the chips in his mouth.

Keenly, he watched the players as they moved around the field. He watched the dakr hair girl go for the bait only to have a blue demon paff her to safety while a walking soda can distracted the bad guy who was trying to spot him.

He focused.

By breaking out into song.
"Sooooooo! They all keeled over and one fell down there were nine more targets and the little one said--" He pulled the trigger. "Keel oooover, keel ooover..."

>D

Avery was startled to see Nightcrawler and the large silver man there, but she was pleased as well. They were helping after all, and as the girl disappeared with Kurt and the purifier he'd punched lurched forward toward her she struck out at him again, as she had with the first two. Her fist connecting with his temple. As it did, one claw shot through his skull, and instantly retracted again. Another invisible shot just as clean and instantaneous as the first two had been. He fell to the side as a couple more purifiers ran towards her, weapons draw now. They seemed to be better trained than their partners had been. Or at the very least the element of surprise had worn off now that all players seemed to be on the field

As the girl was rescued by the blue man from the mansion and her captor slain by the woman, Piotyr found himself in need of a new target. That problem was quickly solved as more Purifiers came to the front.

It only took going toe-to-toe with one more purifier, whose weapons didn't even scratch Colossus' surface, before the rest directly facing him decided it was best to fall back and look the situation over. Then, one stepped forward and drew a knife. At first, Colossus found this amusing, but quickly changed to suspicious, as the man drew forward slowly. The bad feeling was enough to cause him to jump out of the way of the blade reflexively, which was good - as the knife came close, he felt himself revert to normal.

"Wha...?"

Realizing he was now in trouble, he started looking for a means of escape.

OOC: Yeah, I looked these guys up, and it said they carried vibranium. So, yeah. XD

Bombs away!

"Why did that idiot de-canify? That's just stupid." He stood up from the couch and shouldered his sniper rifle. He pulled a couple of grenade from his belt, pulled the pins with his thumb, and chucked them out of the open window.

They bounced on the street and blinked, ready to explode.

A thick fog spilled from them both, hopefully providing cover for the good guys.

Re: Bombs away!

(OOC: Yeah, it's been a few months, but the lack of an 'ending' was bugging me)

With his transformation, the other Purifiers began closing in behind their ally with the knife. Luckily, before they could do anything further, a couple of smoke grenades came from above.

And that was just the cover Piotyr needed to get away. Before they could recover, he high-tailed it out of there, back down the alleyway he'd came from.

Once at a safe distance, he caught his breath. Nervously, he transformed to metal and back again, checking just to see if he still could. Relieved that he could, he wondered what happened back there. But for now, he had better get farther before they tracked him down...
