Danger Room; Sept 15: Team 6 Training

[Harold Marks]

Harold throws up a TK shield to deal with the energy, while getting ready to grab a car sized chunk of soil and rock to drop on his opponent.

[Marcus Kingston]

Marcus recovered fast enough from his attack to jump back and out of the range of the Skrull's intial attacks on him. He kept moving back to try to avoid swing after swing, a spark of orange electricity surging through the staff.

He watched for an openning in the attacks and when he thought he had one, he thrusted the staff forward, activating his power as he did so. The staff grew in length, almost instantly, his hands shifting to adjust their hold a bit as he attempted to let the Skrull's momentum work against it as the end of the staff jutted forward, aimmed for the dead center of it's face.

[Constantine McGraw]

Con jinked out of the path of the energy blasts before diving down on the Skrull, axe forming in his hand.

[Narrator]

Marcus' attack hit the Skrull in the middle of a charge and sent it reeling backwards as the other Skrull drew some sort of weapon and fired a yellow beam at the boy.

Before he could get to the Skrull's apparent leader, Con would be met by a force field of some kind.

Meanwhile, the bolts of energy collided with Harold's shields with quite a bit of force. It'd take some effort for the boy to stay in the air.

[Constantine McGraw]

Fuck.

Con peeled off, heading towards Marcus. firing a blast at the beweaponed Skrull on the way.

"Amp, get ready for an airlift."

[Marcus Kingston]

Marcus staff began to shrink back to it's normal size before he noticed the Skrull drawing the weapon out the corner of his eye.

Oh shit! I hate guns! He lunged off to the side, barely avoiding the yellow beam and broke into a run, searching for some sort of cover.

"Okay Conduit!"

[Harold Marks]

Harold lands a short ways from his opponent and throws a telekinetic wave at the nearest skrull.

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear's athletic grace carried her through the strike from the skrull crabman, avoiding the blow.

Tossing a couple of sticky bombs to immobilize her attacker, she made her way back outside just in time to see the airborne beams striking the ground.

[Narrator]

Harold's wave collides with his opponent, sending him flying into the Skrull currently firing at Marcus. The two impact with a sickening thud and fall to the floor, limp and unmoving.

Still reeling from Marcus' attack, the Skrull barely had time to get it's bearing before being blasted into unconsciousness by Constantine.

Meanwhile, Bear's opponent let out a sickening scream as it's pointy little lobster legs were blown right out from underneath it. The Skrull fell to the ground, shifting back to it's natural form and screaming in pain.

[Constantine McGraw]

Con scooped up Marcus, heading high again.

"Boost me." he said, preparing to loose a blast at the leader as soon as Marcus had done so.

[Marcus Kingston]

"Eh. This guy's that strong? No problem Boss." He said as the red sparks of electrcity surged up through his arms. Soon, Conduit was covered in a red glow. There was a grin on his face, he kinda wondered how strong Constatine would be after this.

"I can maintain your aura now if you wanna drop me off somewhere." He looked around to see how Closer and Harold were doing. It kinda looked like the defeated most of the active Skrulls.

[Constantine McGraw]

Con dropped Marcus off in a convenient spot before levelling a sustained, amplified blast at the Skrull. Either it was going down or it was getting it's own private crater.

[Marcus Kingston]

Once Marcus landed he kept an eye on Constantine, making sure to keep the aura up on him.

"Closer. Harold. You two okay?"

[Harold Marks]

"Good to go here. I'm gonna grab one of these guys and see if I can find out whose in charge." Harold looks around for a conscious Skrull. "You'll do." Harold flies for the nearest Skrull that isn't already being pounded on, intending to get him in a TK grab and haul him around a mile in the air.

[Narrator]

Pickings for Harold seemed slim, except for the Skrull Marcus and Con were taking care of currently, the rest were in no shape to answer questions.

The Skrull Con and Marcus attacked let out a growl of frustration as the force field buckled against the blast before ripping apart completely.

Hitting a button on one of his gloves, the Skrull shouted, "This farce ends now."

A smaller Skrull ship hovered above the school, coming out of some sort of cloaking field.

"Surrender," the Skrull says, "Or die in the ruins of your pathetic school."

[Constantine McGraw]

"Oh shut up." Con growled, blasting the Skrull leader again before heading for the ship, axe forming in his hand.

He was looking for an entrance way, but if that failed, he'd just hack his way in.

[Byrna Cooper]

Once Marcus landed he kept an eye on Constantine, making sure to keep the aura up on him.

"Closer. Harold. You two okay?"

"I'm good. That ship, though.. we should probably do something about that."

Bear took a few steps outside, peering at the vessel, looking for a good target to throw something really, really hard at.

"Oooo, Amp? Can we try that neato trick you did with Conduit?"

Gingerly, she tossed a solid steel throwing ball from one hand to the other.

[Marcus Kingston]

He ran over towards Closer, trying to keep within good distance of Conduit. "Yeah. That ship needs to go down. I can probably hold out a few more attacks for Conduit but for now.." He broke his focus on Conduit and used his boost on Bear now, covering her in a red glow. The aura on Conduit would disappear after another attack or two. He reached over to catch the steel ball Bear was tossing around. He held onto it and charged it with his power before handing it back to her.

"Some super sized things being thrown at it could help though. Heh, or do both for that matter."

[Constantine McGraw]

"Aim for engine ports or weapon emplacements if you can see them."

[Byrna Cooper]

Smiling, Bear gave Marcus a quick peck on the cheek before looking back at the skrull ship.

Holding the ball in front of her, she concentrated, generating a TK field around it. Quickly winding up, she released it with all her might, the TK field combining with Marcus's power boost to produce a blazing fire trail behind the sphere.

It blasted forth, aimed directly at the central engine casing.

[Marcus Kingston]

Marcus blinked, rather surprised by the trail of fire that followed the steel ball. It gave him something to watch however and when the ball was close enough to the ship he'd activate his power to make sure it hardly lose any momentum. He snapped his fingers, the steel ball instantly growing five times bigger.

[Harold Marks]

"Amp, gimmie something big and hard!" Harold was still airborne and was looking for something to launch at the ship.

[Marcus Kingston]

"H-huh..? What? Give me a second." A little thrown off by what was said, he was also starting to feel the wear of using his powers so much and in tandem. His focus was still on the ship but he glanced for something for Harold to throw.

"If you find something, just bring it over to me Harold."

[Harold Marks]

Harold heads over the wall to grab a car off the street and brings it over to Marcus. "Can you grow it en route or do you have to before I launch it?"

[Marcus Kingston]

"En-route." He said, reaching over to touch the car for a moment. Once Harold launched it, he'd do what he did with the ball. Making it grow 5 times bigger a few seconds before impact.

[Harold Marks]

"Perfect." Harold said, launching the Citron directly at what looked like it might be the engines.

[Narrator]

Bear's steel ball hit the ship first, destroying one of the cannons and ripping a hole into the interior of the ship. The car collided with the engines, doing some damage but it managed to stay aloft.

Several of the ship's weapons appeared to still be functional though as it took aim and fired at the group, yellow streaks of energy and explosive red pulses firing towards them.

[Constantine McGraw]

Avoiding the attacks that came close to him, taking advantage of his more mobile position, Con drew on the last of Marcus's energy boost, firing two massive blasts at the ship.

One was aimed at the damaged engines, the other streaked straight through the breach Bear had opened in the hull.

[Narrator]

The ship shuddered as it was hit by the twin blasts and started to fall to the ground and right before it crashed it paused in mid-air.

"Simulation ended."

The scene faded away to the familiar walls of the Danger Room.

[Marcus Kingston]

Marcus was just about to grab Bear and leap out the way of the beams before hearing the simulation ended. He let out a sigh of relief, taking the aura off of Bear.

"Finally.."

[Harold Marks]

Harold blew out a puff of air. "That probably could've gone better."

[Constantine McGraw]

"Possibly." Con agreed. "Lesson for today, not everything is as it seems. That said, given that this is a new team, I think it was a pretty good job."

Although.." he added as he descended to the Danger Room floor. "...next time warn me when there's 5 tons of car coming in my direction."

[Harold Marks]

"Sorry about that." Harold said with a sheepish grin.

[Byrna Cooper]

Bear nodded, ascessing the situation.

"Things got tricky when it became clear it was Skrulls. But we shouldn't hesitate to help people, either."

[Marcus Kingston]

The aura around Constantine started to flicker before it disappeared. He took a deep breath. "Yeah..for a freakin' Skrull invasion, I think we did okay. I wonder if the others had simulations as crazy as that one."
