Cast of Characters: Natasha Romanoff, Audra Meridian, Daniel Ketch, Detective Chimp, Jacen Knight




Natasha Romanoff has posed:
A recon team sent by SHIELD had picked up an AIM base in Bludhaven, buried deep underground. They had been setting up a monitoring post when they had dropped off comms for a moment. <<AIM STrike Force Inbound!>> Would come a hurried alert over the comms. <<They're moving to engage the.. Base.>> The base that they had just confirmed was.. Run by AIM. What was afoot here? Or a-monologuey? Even as firepower lit up chunks of the (already rather consistently on fire) sections of Bludhaven, SHIELD had sent in a response team to try and get an idea of what was going along. And any heroes in the general area were definitely picking up the 'PEWPEW' of energy weapons and high pitched shrieks of maniacal laughter.

Audra Meridian has posed:
Violence at most any hour wasn't unusual to see in Bludhaven. Or at least that's what Windrose had been told by friends from the nearby Gotham.

She hadn't been in the vicinity on any related matter, just doing the meteorlogist thing. It's just some research is easier to do airborne and using her flight rig was easier than chartering a copter -and- someone skilled enough to pilot it if the weather decided to act up. But in short, being high over the city just makes the gunfire stand out, and it looks pretty intense even for what she understands for Bludhaven. So research has to wait, this was probably worth investigating, and she swoops down over the city to hone in towards where the fighting looks to be the most active at the moment. Always best to get a gauge of the situation before she goes plunging into the matter.

Daniel Ketch has posed:
Meanwhile Daniel was in Bludhaven for the usual unusual reason: The Ghost Rider ended up in Bludhaven last night and that means Daniel woke up in a parking garage with a headache and vague memories of a flaming skeleton dismantling a drug-smuggling ring across three cities.

So, he called sick at work, got told it was the 'last time he did this or else', and then crawled into the closest cafe for a mug or five. And from there he saw people running away from the laser gun show.

And that explains the burning skeleton in a biker outfit racing towards the fire fight riding a huge motorcycle with wheels on fire.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
In this sort of scenario, a demon on a bike is hardly noticed. What is weird is (at least for those who can tell the difference) are dozens upon dozens of AIM soldiers fighting.. Dozens upon dozens of AIM Soldiers. Well, one group has the normal beekeeper outfit, the other side has the.. Normal beekeeper outfit yet with a slightly sleeker attempt at a more menacing vibe but.. Mostly failing as it was hard to do a menacing beekeeper setup.
    They would be charging at one another, exchanging fireblasts, exploding fireblasts, blasts of fire exploding, the occasional net.. Small mechs, miniature mechs, jet packs, miniature mechs in jet packs, moderately sized mechs in jet packs..
    And at least one moderately sized mech shooting giant fists into the melee without regard for what shade of beekeeper was in the midst.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp had gotten the message, and since he lives in Gotham, he decides to head on over. He is on the train almost there when the second alert hits "I am going to have to get a Chimp-Mobile, or Chimp-jet or something." He mutters to himself and moves to the door of the train, pushing out as soon as it opens "Out of the way, Very Busy Chimp coming through." He says and jumps up and takes to the rafters of the station and checks his com to see which way he needs to head.

Audra Meridian has posed:
As she's coming from the air it's the dogfighting between mechs, jetpacks, hoverboots and the such that Windrose first comes upon.... and even she has to stop and squint behind her goggles for a moment to make sure she's not seeing things and it's two different versions of the same appearances fighting. Some kind of rebelliong within an organization? A siege of power? All of the above? Questions that can maybe be answered as we go along. First and formost on her mind was the fact that the fighting was going to cause a lot of collateral damage.... and sure, it may be Bludhaven and not high on a lot of people's lists, there's still civilians regardless of the crime levels. Which is enough for her.

"Alright, I don't know who started this ruckus... but you're all about to be blown away!" Her answer to the sheer number of airborne units of both version of beehive armor? Windrose creates an airborn force of her own, and sends a cyclonic wind whipping through the air to sweep up several of combatants regardless of side, sucking them up, spinning them around a bit and then chucking them away once more, several being dropped to the ground or smacked into the sides of buildings as they're scattered.

Jacen Knight has posed:
Jacen is off duty from the hospital and is in Bludhaven looking to follow up on a patient from a few nights ago. He usually doesn't do that, but this was a strange case so maybe he looked at the file and decided to follow up on his free time. He's a prince, or something.

That aside, he is driving into the area when the trouble starts up. He frowns at the sounds and pulls the truck off the road,"It's supposed ta be m' day off." he mutters and gets out, grabbing a medical kit and locking it around his waist like a fanny pack. Oversized and heavier than the average pack can handle. He touches the bone necklace at his chest and reaches for a bigger bag. This one indicates there is an oxygen bottle in it.

For those who can see the spirit realm, when he touches the necklace a spirit bear rises on its back legs and roars silently into the void. He slings the large bag on his right shoulder and heads into things. There's bound to be casualties.

Daniel Ketch has posed:
Being ignored is a novel experience for the Ghost Rider. He seems to be slow to react to the novelty. No, wait, the problem is he is just watching at the fight because he can't see any innocent in danger. Just a bunch of sinners beating the crap out of each other. Maybe it is time for some hellfire popcorn?

It takes him a almost a minute to decide that actually letting them play with power armor and laser cannons in the middle of a city is going to eventually lead to some innocent getting killed, even if it is just by accident. Still counts.

Therefore, the motorcycle roars and charges one of the closest power armor, somehow running over it. Because magic motorcycles powered by Vengeance > power armor powered by mere engineering. "Stop and surrender, sinners!" He yells.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
The chimpmobile does.. Not have the best marketing potential. Something to put into future proposals, at least! Chimp could at least save it to work on later. Even now as a small AIM Mech goes to advance on him, wtih two vastly oversized fists. " Oooh, I know this one! SPANK THE MONKEY!"
    Two of the other beekepers fighting other beekeepers to the side would give him a look. "What?" They would keep giving hi ma look, "What? I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY!" They kept giving hi ma look. "It was a thing from the nineties! Like, a pre meme era thing!" Still looking. "From when they had AOL CD's!" HARSH GLARE OF JUDGEMENT.

The massive gusts of wind from Windrose go to blast around everyone in a mini-jet, jetpack, small rocket booster, and at least one weirdo having a rocket propelled umbrella. One sprawled out AIM Agent goes to hold up a large, strange looking shoulder-launched thing.. Admittedly, bright blue. "Freezetroopers!" Another quartet of them would come forwards. All of them having likewise shaped weapons, and bright blue streaks down thier banana yellow beekeeper outfits. "Time to put her.. ON ICE!" Oh god, the bad guy mooks were attempting to pun. Horrifying, also likely agonizing. Was this what it was like to fight Spider-Man?
    Most of the casualties so far as Jacen goes to charge into the ruckus are.. AIM Troopers. And Raid Troopers. No, wait, RAID troopers. There's a dropped business card that clearly shows it in capital letters. A pair of scrwany looking, nerdy even by AIM Standards (you could tell even in their standard beekeeper outfits) would trundle past him. "It's that time!" The other ones would chant, "That time!" Each of htem going to yank out huge looking needles with plungers, shoving them into their arms. "DEATH!" "BY!" "SCIENCE!" Even as each of them would start to bulk up, turning them bright.. Green, with bulking muscles. Oh dear.
    For the Ghost Rider, it's not like anyone here is innocent. In Bludhaven? Not likely. Anyone that's like that lost it a long time ago - or just booked it out of the city as fast as they could. Ghost Rider runs over some of the AIM Troopers and Mini-Mechas who scatter! One that's got a bike tread on him and is half crushed like a pancake would wheeze, "Stop what? you gotta be more specific." Another that's flattened like a huge club had hit him in the head would go. "Or surrender? Make up your mind!" Even as several others would be running around in circles screaming from being on hellfire. Could.. People be so smart and yet so stupid to not feel imemdiate fear or.. No, wait, they didn't have enough common sense to feel fear.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks at the mini mech, and sighs a moment. He reaches into his pockets and pulls out a trio of metal knuckles, one for each hand and one going on one of his feet, as he launches himself at the mech and says "I always preferred "Brass Monkey." He says as he slams into the mini mech with the brass knuckles and looks for a way to yank the scientist out of the mech, while pummeling him.

Jacen Knight has posed:
Looking over the state of things, Jacen mutters softly,"Ain' this a helluva note?" He throws the heavier bag down just outside the reach of the chaos, calling 911, and setting up triage.

Taking a moment to identify himself by his medic credentials, he directs the response, and then settles things how he wants them. He is twitching to get in the middle of things, he resists the urge to dive into the storm since he's the one medic on hand that he knows of.

Audra Meridian has posed:
Freeze weapons! Windrose barely manages to juke to the side in the air as a shot wizzes past her. And other guys telling DEATH BY SCIENCE! and such, which really rackles her scientific nerves. "That is not the proper use of scientific ventures!" Now she's a bit annoyed.

A few sparks crackle in the air as she points her gauntlet at the man that fired the freeze weapon at her, and fires back with a bolt of lightning! "But now you've left me with no option but to stop your misuse of science with my own!"

Daniel Ketch has posed:
The Ghost Rider is making sure Jacen and his colleges will have a lot of hospital work soon. Since the AIM/RAID people are too dumb to run away, he is breaking a lot of bones and otherwise (kind of) cool machines. Punching through beekeeper suits, hitting them with chains, and ramming the power suits with a hellfire motorcycle. Some of the science terrorists try to shoot at him with the energy weapons, but those are not much worse than bullets, and have very little effect on him.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
The person on the other end of the 911 call is a 'Yeah, Really' type and then Jacen can hear a 'Sorry Honey! A Man's ont he phone!' Then a somewhat more responsive tone to Jacen, "Err, we already have a bit of a backlog, try again in a little bit." That.. Is about par for the course for Bludhaven. He's going to have to organize things on his own it looks like. Some of the local gangs are getting into the fun of things by also shooting at things/setting them on fire.

As Detective Chimp goes up for the punch, there's a howl of pain from his target, "MY SPLEEN! MY SPLEEN!" His.. Spleen wasn't remotely in the location where Chimp had hit him. But, now Chimp had his own mech with built in jet pack and.. Why was there a rocket powered pogo stick built in? There was a small corporate plaque underneath 'A Company that Makes Everything'.

Audra goes to blast through the air even as she moves to BWOOSH the group of ice-idiots around and mvoes to hit them over with a blast of lightning that deep fries them, showing off thier skeleton! The ice weapons then explode, freezing them like giant popsicles! Even as another one goes to yank ou ta horfifically big gun from nowhere. At least three meters long, with an underbelly slung grenade launcher, a small gatling gun over to the sides, and various heavy sights and bracers on it. "I've got you NOW!" Even as he somehow tries to hold teh horribly tilting gun upright to keep it steady on her..

For Ghost Rider, it's likely not often people are too stupid to runa way from him. Desperate? Crazed? Psychotic? They're caught on fire, being mostly squished on, and otherwise flambed. the sorta Hulk'ish ones go to charge towards him! It's more of a waddle than a charge, admittedly.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp will climb into the control seat and it takes him a moment of fiddeling with the controls, in which time, the mech does a couple of ballet movies, as well as the Robot dance movie. "What the hell." He says but with a bit of learn as you go, the Chimp is moving in the direction he wants to and moves towards the fray

Jacen Knight has posed:
"Useless's tits on a man." Jacen grumbles and closes the phone. He's done what he can for now and secures the area. This seems like a no good guy situation to him and he reaches into the medicine pouch on his belt. Is there really a good guy in this situation? Doesn't look like it.

Still, AIM. Certainly bad. He twitches again, almost arguing with himself to not get into things,"You're th' only medic here right now, stay put." he growls to himself. If any AIM sort gets too close, well accidents happen.

Audra Meridian has posed:
... That is a really big gun. Guns. And other things ...

Quick girl, think of something witty to say.
"Is that a weapon, or overcompensation?!" Windrose shouts back. And after a moment, kind of regrets it even if it was kind of witty and probably appropriate. But then she flares up her vectored thrusters and gets moving! She may not be super fast like some metas or anything, but she is pretty maneuverable in the air. Like a minature helicopter, more about agility than speed. Or a dragonfly. That would been a good moniker if it hadn't been for the weather manipulating.

But to make a long story short Windrose zips and zags through the air and the fight, doing her best to both stay ahead of the man's rediculous fire and try to lead him into shooting some of the other mechs and AIM goons in trying to chase her down with it. Friendly fire is anything but!

Daniel Ketch has posed:
If you asked Daniel, he would tell you the AIM folks are probably all insane, or brainwashed. But the Ghost Rider really doesn't care one way or another. It might be courage or madness or something else what keeps the beekeepers on the field, and yet that only means he gets to punish them all.

The hulk-ed out ones that charge him look like a credible physical threat, maybe strong enough to break even his bones. So instead of using his fists, he washes them on hellfire and leaves them screaming at the flames scarring their souls.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
In total fairness to Jacen, the Monkey and the flaming demon biker are good guys! Or at least, what he has to work with. The city at least isn't so much on fire and most of the casualties so far are the namby-pamby nerds. It's.. A very odd experience, no doubt.

Going towards him is a large, bulky looking man in an AIM suit (or rather, the slightly clashing RAID suit) calling out, "I'm the CHAINSAW MAN! I'm going to use my chainsaws!" Chainsaws pop out of the mechaniccal parts of his suit. From his elbows. From his shoulders. From his wrists. From his knees. Over along his waist. "And I'm going to CHAINSAW YOU UP!" There was so, so, so much wrong with that statement. "Uh.. Just stand still!" realizing that he couldn't actually move without cutting off large chunks of himself with his chainsaws.

The man attempting to target Windrose with the gun that she would possibly (or not) identify as 'Liefeld Caliber' level munitions goes to try to keep her in target as she goes to zoom over and about in a circle! He goes to randomly fire over at her, missing wildly even as he ends up having the gun pointing right up and into the air! "Uh oh." Right as it falls over and flattens him with a FWOOMSH over and he goes to 'Ow'.
    The trio of HulkAIMs go to charge over at Daniel Ketch.. TO no particular great effectiveness. Why? Because (Hell) fire burns. A lot. And there's mostly just charcoal briscuits left behind. Somewhere in the inferno, a pudgy kid goes to give them the middle finger. "Ha-Ha!"

Then there are high pitched shrieks, giggles, and.. Yes, giggles coming through the air. Along with rocket boosters. "Come on! CHORUS!" The cackles go to get in harmony, "We are family! Until I go on a murdering spree! WE ARE FAMILY! Until I get going and killing you see!" It's a.. MODOK. For those that have had the misfortune of running into him. Leading.. Another MODOK. And another. There's a solid half dozen MODOKs rocketing through the air! It might be cartoonish, it might be ridiculous..
    But as their psi-beams scythe out through the battlefield, disintegrating anything/anyone/etc in it's path, it's decidedly EFFECTIVE.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp will grab one of the goons with the giant hands, tossing him into a pile of another set of goons, but then he sees the MODOK squad, and puts a finger to his ear to speak over shield coms "Um, guys, when did MODAK get a spirit squad," He looks over seeing ghost rider "Cheer leader type, not swallow your soul type." He admins his statement. He hmms and looks for the command to send video and thinks better of it, pulling out his phone to send the video instead.

Jacen Knight has posed:
Jacen's attention shifts to the guy with the chainsaw,"You gotta be kiddin' me." he mutters and sets his feet for a moment. Again, for those with the benefit of spirit sight, another spirit animal appears to join the bear. This one is some sort of deer.

When he moves, it's fast. Not fast like the Flash, but fast enough to move past Chainsaw Charlie and turn back. Before the other can recover, Jacen's hands clap over the man's ear with enough force to draw blood, likely rupture ear drums, and definately throw poor Charlie's equilibrium into the toilet. Chances are pretty fair he would stagger, but...

Jacen lunges in, sets the center of gravity, grabs the guy's waist, and then throws the man up and over. Jacen hits the ground, but the chainsaw man goes flying back first several feet and at a brick wall.

Jacen rolls back to his feet and mutters,"Gettin' too old f'r this..." .

Audra Meridian has posed:
"Remember kids, situational awareness is important." Windrose remarks as the guy is now flattened on the ground after accidentally bombarding himself. Not that there's any kids present, that just felt like the way a hero would phrase it, and Windrose is totally trying to keep that ACTION SCIENTIST vibe up and running.

Even as it's interrupted by the newest arriving... threat?... Okay, they look rediculous, but those disintigrating shots are definitely worthy of a threat rating. That is definitely not good.

"Who invited the knockoff bobbleheads with the evil laughs?" Windrose retorts as she floats a little closer to the ground. Looks like a few other people showed up to deal with -- is that a monkey with a sword?? She's seen some strange things, but that's still kind of weird. But cool... oi, distractions. Not a good time for it.

"I think you need to cool off a little there, megamind." Windrose recomposes herself, and fires an icy blast at one of the MODOKs. Unlike the derp with the freeze weapon earlier, she takes a very precise and calculated aim, going for the face (which appears to be the most exposed in those weird hover units) for a case of blinding and possibly bad frostbite.

Daniel Ketch has posed:
The Ghost Rider has been unstoppable thus far, as the warring teams have been weirdly unconcerned by his presence despite the casualties he has caused. But now the MODOKs have arrived, he finds himself in their path. The first psi-beam blows up the hellcycle, and the second punches a hole through his chest and sends the Rider flying back a score feet.

Dead? Hardly. A hole through his chest does hurt, but it takes far more damage to push a Spirit of Vengeance out of physical reality. The flaming skeleton stands up, pulls out a chain and whips at the MODOKs, the chain breaks halfway, forming a hundred or so flaming steel shuriken that fly at high speed towards the mad floating heads.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
The energy blast fired off by Windrose stops in midair.. Shimmers.. And then vanishes. "HAH! Inferior cretin! You cannot last against the supreme power that is MODOK! The Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing." There's something sinister about the way that's phrased. Even as the psy-focusing crystal goes to BZAPPT out over at Windrose with sufficient psionic force to make John Constantine stop smoking, swearing, and to be completely polite to everyone he interacts with.

Jacek can only just no doubt shake his head and stare over at the chainsaw man that teeters, then totters, and then tumbles over. Detective Chimp has his Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robot. One of the MODOKs turns to him, and then to Ghost Rider.
    Another chants, "You seek to stop us, INTERLOPERS!? You seek to THWART US!?" The members of RAID are taking this opportunity (those few stragglers that can) to try and sneak and crawl away under the cover of monologue.
    "I AM SUPREME! I AM MODOK! YOU SHALL ALL COWER AND SERVE ME! THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE!" Another MODOK gestures as a blast of psionic energy radiates down!
    "READY TO FORM MODOK!" Wait what.
    A half dozen or so of the MODOKs boost themselves up and into thea ir via psionics. Cybernetics moving to link amongst them. "MODOK FORM FEET!" heads shambling together. "MODOK FORM ARMS!" A bigger, fatter one goes to the midsection. " MODOK FORM THE BODY!" The final, fifth one, launches itself up and into teh air to land on top of the convergence. "MODOK SHALL FORM THE HEAD! ALL MODOKS.. FORM INTO MODOK!"
    Now there is a giant MODOK composed of smaller (well actually normal MODOK sized) MODOKs the size of a Gundam. With all those extremely creepy faces staring out cackling. All of them speaking at once in total disharmony.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp gets blasted by the Modoks as he is taking pictures, his phone and ends up stepping on it "Damn, going to have to bill Fury for that." He mutters to himself, as he is trying to shake the effectof the blast. The robot having shielded him from the majority of it, even if he now only has one fist. He looks up to the giants "That is not good, not good at all. He starts looking about and starts to head towards the guy who is flattened under his gun "Pardon me, I need that." What is it about the shorty hairy guys taking other peoples electronics.

Audra Meridian has posed:
Sometimes being an intellectual makes you stop and analyze things you maybe shouldn't. Case in point, Windrose has to stop, ticking off the letters on her fingers as she repeats that in her mouth. Mental Organism Designed Only for Ki-- "Hey!" She snaps out of it, pointing accusingly at the MODOK mocking her. "Your acronym is inaccurate, there's no F for 'For'--"

And that's when the MODOK really puts that oversized brain to use and psi-blasts her. "OOF!" Followed by a crunchy noise as she slams down onto a rooftop. Fortunately her suit is made to take a hard impact, being designed for her to work in huge storms and what not.
Still, it takes her a moment to extract herself from the Windrose shaped indentation left in the rooftop and get a grasp on what's happened in the meantime. "Okay, now THAT is just weird... and possibly copyright infringing." Being bad guys the MODOKs probably don't care.

She glances down at the pavement below. "Probably going to need some group effort on this one." Then back up to the Multi MODOK or whatever they're calling themselves. Huffs out the corner of her mouth. "How any of you can stand being that close to each other is beyond me!" She whips up a bit of wind, using it to heft some debris from the fighting and fling it at the large form. Mostly out of needing a moment to try and think of something more effective to do that won't also cause even more issues for the cityscape.

Jacen Knight has posed:
Getting himself settled again, Jacen looks around the area to make sure he isn't under direct attack. When the bad guy gets to be the size of a building, he slowly look up from toe to head.

His right eyebrow raises and he is almost too surprised to talk. Almost. He studies the construct f'r a few seconds and sighs,"Gotta be shi..." he pauses and looks up at the sky and calls out,"I'm bein' punshied ain' I?" Settling again to be ready for a real trauma, he looks at the thing and glances back towards where he parked his truck.

Daniel Ketch has posed:
If small projectiles do not work, decides the Ghost Rider, maybe a larger one would. Which means he spends a few second reforming his flaming motorcycle. Then he climbs in and races towards the MODOK of MODOKs.

From zero to 300 mph en less of a second. The hellbike makes a pretty nice projectile.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
The person that's probably having the worst of it here is Windrose. Because her mind is probably trying to figure out as to how the MODOKs managed to form htemselves into a gianter MODOK and the mechanics of it. Which is probably the most traumatizing thing to imagine, even with compartmentalization! MODOK would strive forwards, the numerous heads that made him up all cackling.

"DIE! DIE BEFORE MODOK!" The various heads all going to blast out with their PSIONIC DISINTEGRATOR CANNONS (now build a fig from Hasbro) blasting through everything (but our heroes and nearby buildings putting civilians at risk). That is.. Until the demon-bike goes to blast forwards twoards MODOK.

It goes to land in the giant face of.. One of the MODOKs forming the MODOK, which gets a yelp. "Inferior DEMON! DIE! .." Realizing that a demon was probably already dead.

"KNEEL BEFORE MODOK!" Even as he attempst to hit Ghost Rider with a massive psionic bolt to try adn SLAM him down hard over into the pavement! Even with massive tire tread marks on his MODOK'y face. Pebbles from the flung debris by Windrose making it look like a giant snot bubble was coming out of one of the noses as a long coil of goo would dribble down it. Apparently MODOKs had -really- big boogers.

Jacen Knight has posed:
Looking back towards the truck again, Jacen smirks inspite of himself and races back in the direction of the vehicle. He will be back there for a bit, taking something out of the back of the truck. It looks like a large red can.

Grabbing something from the cab of the truck next. Several somethings. One of them he seems to be drinking from and then settles into working on something from the back of his truck.

Audra Meridian has posed:
After her experiences with things like magic and mind-control Windrose has somewhat learned to stop herself from thinking too far into things, chock of it up as weird and bad guys breaking laws of physics like they do other laws, and move on. Make some snarky diatrbe instead... maybe that's why the likes of Spider-Man are so quippy. Mental deterrance. Theory for another time.

"Need a bigger proverbial gun..." she mutters to herself, and deploys her thrusters to launch back into the air. The multi MODOK is big... bigger than some of the buildings now.. definitely more on the inside than a building's hollow space. So there should be more interal structure to...

Eventually she hovers overhead, adjusts sittings on her gear, and starts to ionize the air around her. Adds a bit of water vapor to consolidate with the charge. It doesn't take long for it to start to become more noticable as the collecting form around her turns dark. Sparks a few times, flashes, crackles as she creatures a minature (relatively speaking, being only as big as the block and not an entire city) storm cloud. That sparks and rumbles some more.

And then *CHAKRATHOOM* loudly as a bolt of lightning erupts down from it. Lightning is drawn to the largest, highest form it can channel to the ground through... which in this case, with their size composed of both tech and flesh, is the merged MODOKs!

Thunder's just the noise boys, lightning does the work.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp picks up the gun from the other guy, and points it over at MODOK, the good thing about AIM, they generally sell their gear to the highest bidder, so usually the simpler to use the better. So after bracing himself, the large robot hand is holding the gun and pulling any and every trigger on it he sees. If he needs to drawl up the arm and pull triggers with his own hands and feet he will. He fires everything the gun has at GOMfOS (Goofy Organisms Made for Only Shooting.)

Daniel Ketch has posed:
The Ghost Rider is alive, or maybe he has never been alive. Depends on what you call 'alive'. He was created at the dawn of mythical time before even the Seven Days that started time and space. All very mythical, mind you, approaching it all from a scientific viewpoint might cause headaches, dizziness and possibly an aneurism.

He is not flesh, but magical plasma on a hyper-dense skeleton.

He can still be blasted by psychic energy, though. And he makes a satisfying crunching sound when slamming on the ground. But he stands up pretty much instantly, even though now he has some cracks in his skull and one of his arms is obviously broken.

Briefly broken, he glares at his arm, and the fire burns brightly, the damage repairing itself quickly, until he can raise the arm and form a fist. "FOOL!" He yells at MODOK, his voice a deep bass. "I am no demon. I am the SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE!"

And because he is also kind of monomaniac, he rides the hellbike again to leave some more tread marks on MODOK's face. Faces. Whatever. They are big targets.

Jacen Knight has posed:
It takes a minute or three, but sooner than is likely smart, Jacen walks from behind the truck. He has a six pack of beer bottles, each one with a piece of rag sticking out of them. As he walks back towards the fight, the deer fades from him.

An eagle feather is taken from the medicine pouch and he mutters,"Ah'ight brother. We're doin' good guy stuff, don' leave me hangin'. For a moment, nothing happens and then the spirit image of an eagle appears before him and flies towards the giant MODOK.

Making his way back to the triage, he sets the bottles on the ground, picking one up and taking out a zippo,"Ah'ight. I know it ain' gonna kill ya, so maybe it'll make ya squall."

He looks around, mindful not to hit someone when he strikes the lighter and sets the rag on fire,"Eight ball, corner pocket." he grumbles. The eagle and the bear focus his vision and strength,"See whatcha think 'bout this." he grumbles and sends the molotov at the left hip connection of the giant MODOK is.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
This is one of the weirdest nights for all of them, no doubt. Detective Chimp goes to add to the GonSwarm (Or GoofSwarm) by picking up the boom and adding it to the shoot. There's something particularly simple over about things on fire. And burning. And exploding.

MODOK goes to laugh, "WHen MODOK is done with you, you will be in no position to avenge anything! MERELY DIE!" Which he had.. Y'know, never mind.

REVV goes the MODOK face as the hellbike goes to scream over it!

Windrose goes to call upon the power of SCIENCE. And psychiatry. Well, a mostly disproven field of it. Namely electroshock therapy. TO THE FACE. There are a half dozen immense cranium skeletons shown over in the flash and impact, and a sizzling smell of.. Bacon.

As the Demon of Bengeance goes to roll out (and over) MODOK's face, and Jacen goes to quickly ready up his loadout, the tread marks over on MODOKs faces are they lit up over by the simple, old fashioned weapon so named for the infamous Foreign Commissar of the Soviet Union under Premier Stalin. Namely fire. Fire Burns.

So apparently do MODOKs.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp will fire and fire and then the gun starts to glow, and Chimp hmmms "Thats not good.. or is it?"... He moves back to the pilot seat or the robot, and turns his back towards MODAK. Yup, the chimp seems to think Modak aint worth his time, and announces it over to loud speakers "You guys got this, I am going to go find someone who is actually a threat, and not a megoblock power ranger," Yup, Chimp is trying to antagonize him into going for him. Because while he has his back turned to Modok hiding what he is doing he is pressing all the buttons on the suit, setting it to overheat and go boom. He will leap from the suit as he pushes the last button. The Rocker Propelled Pogo stick, using it to launch the suit up into the monstrous construct.

Audra Meridian has posed:
That left a mark!... though the giant affont to science is still standing afterwards. Tch. Studier than given credit for, it seems.

There is a demonic firebike racing over the multi MODOK, and someone throwing firebombs at it. Maybe something inciderary from the mech the Chimp had confinscated, hard to tell with the sheer number of things going on. But it gives Windrose an idea.

She glides back down, shifts the setting in her gauntlet emitters, and starts gushing blasts of freezing air in the wake of the hellbike and the firebombs.

It's simple science in comparison to the monsterous form -- when you superheat then supercool something in rapid succession, things start to break apart a lot more easier.

Jacen Knight has posed:
"Oh sure. Beat me to th' punch." Jacen mutters with the fire trail on the big machine. Once more he studies his surroundings and then lights another. Might as well go for the face. He throws again and comes up a little short, striking the chest area instead.

Shanking his head, he reaches for one more bottle and mutters,"Times like this I miss smokin'." His eyes scan the area again, looking for casualties and watching the patter of how people are coming and going around the monster MODOK.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
There's a massive BZAPPT through the air as the MODOK is set on fire, then flash frozen, having the fire freeze over it, then having the Hellbike dig more grooves over into it even as Chimp goes for the tour de force as the rocket powered pogo stick goes to blast over up the nose of the big MODOK. Don't ask which nose it is. THen there's a loud BLORPHT that hopefully everyone over in the area is able to get to cover from before they end up covered by.. Brain-boogers detonating down on them like the end of Ghostbusters.

Which also put out the fires and everything else in the area that leaves Bludhaven looking like.. Well.. Normal New Jersey. The fight is over.

The mental trauma is just beginning.

Audra Meridian has posed:
It worked! There's your SCIENCE for you!

But the results also leave Windrose splatted with the gunk as the mental menagerie goopsplodes. "EW GROSS" she almost whines, shaking herself off somewhat futily. "THANK TESLA I WAS WEARING GOGGLES." Ick ick ick. This is going to take at least three decontamination showers to feel remotely clean again.

Sometimes superheroing is messy work. Sometimes it is -very literally- so.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp is slimed, and you want to know what is worse, even though a lot of him is covered with clothes, he still has lots more hair showing than normal people. And he has an enhanced sense of smell. He sighs and reaches into his jacket pulls out a flask first and takes a big gulp from it. Then he is walking over towards Ghost Rider. He pulls a cigar out from his jacket as he puts the flask away "Hey you got a light?" He asks the spirit of Vengeance.

Jacen Knight has posed:
No more fire bombs, Jacen closes the lighter and looks around. It occurs to him things are not quite over. His eyes move back to the explosion of gunk,"Aw...shit." he mutters and makes a run for it. He is fast on his own, but without the magic he isn't fast enough. He catches the glop all over his back, taking his hat off, he leans over it and gets a blast of yuck all over his back and into his hair.

He sighs and starts walking to the triage to clean up his gear and then head to the truck. It's a long drive home so he locks the truck and walks towards the nearest hospital. Advantage being on call there, showers are a thing and he can clean his clothes off as well,"Day off my ass." he mutters and starts walking.
