"WHOA. I recognize you. You're...Guyver, right? Hi. I can use your assistance. We can make evacuation twice as fast. Can you continue searching for hostages while i take this group to the roof? in a building this big, there must be more than 30 (which is what i have here in the bubble). If you find any, you can just teleport with them to the roof, and I'll escort them across the bridge to safety. Tell me when you are all done" Xander says confidently
"wierd...im not usually a team player...diffrences aside i guess..." he thinks to himself
"Hey, that guy's covered in blood!" Reporter Johnson says. Guyver is quite menacing to look upon with all that blood on him, and his fearsome suit. "What is going on down there?" Johnson continues jotting down notes, and you have a feeling they aren't good, Xander...
Guyver, the hostages unwillingly take your hands.
At some point ((between pages 1 and 3)), after everyone else has entered the fray, but before the semi-truck and trailer moves across the entrance to barricade the whole gang inside the building, Sgt. Thunder will make his move.
Maybe seeing the unmanned big rig moving is what cues him to cross the street and enter the building, or maybe just the rapid fire bursts of bullets that shatter the glass windows of the lobby. Whatever the reason or motivation, Thunder rolls across the street and ducks inside the seized building, following the bulk of his fellow super heroes on the ground floor.
Considering all the action and what not, Thunder wonders about plunking down a tear-gas grenade in the midst of the largest grouping of terrorists. It might not be such a bad idea to keep 1 or 2 of these guys alive, maybe... since they obviously were not intending to suicide themselves, they might have other bigger plans in mind to follow-up this little stunt...
Once Blur makes his little whirly-winds, Thunder decides he could get away with his plan, without gassing his own people, if Blur was in on the gag...
"GAS! GAS! GAS! Incoming!" Thunder shouts, following up with a commanding suggestion "Blur, keep the gas contained!" as he launches the grenade into the largest group of terrorists..
(assuming we're down to the 16 or 12 remaining, just for simplicity sake)
Whether or not the gas works, Thunder then decides it's close-quarters combat from here on, ducks behind some cover ( a pillar, an overturned table, a large statue of a duck... whatever...) , shucks his M-203 to the ground and draws out twin 9mm pistols, engaging the targeting computer in his high-tech military spec prototype goggles...
then, he waits for a clear shot, humming the tune to KISS's 'Love Gun', revving himself up for further carnage to come...
(I know, long post, lots of actions, but I'm just catching up after 5 pages... sue me!) 😱 🙄 😮
"Nice job showoff...i mean Guyver. covered in blood and you just wisked away two hostages. the rest of the group will never trust you now. just guard my back while i take these 28 to the roof. I've lost my patience already."
Xander escorts the group to the roof, and sees the two hostages that Guyver left there. "you two, come with me. we are leaving. Now."
He seamlessly transforms the protective bubble into a sturdy looking bridge, complete with 4 foot railings, and traction. "lets go, everyone across" he says sternly, still not happy about Guyver's thoughtless actions, knowing full well the negative media attention the group of superheros will get from it.
"negative media means the people will want protection from US as well. the governement will eventually send in military against us, making things that much harder. part of the reason why i remain a loner... rather be alone than with a team with the collective IQ of a bag of Fritos." Xander wrongly judges, not even knowing the entire group.
My bad, Guyver. You can have taken twenty already, then. Twenty shall be max.
"That's a nice trick, what's your name?" asks Reporter Johnson. He listens to Xander's rant, then jots down more notes.
You haven't been with this group of superhumans very long, Xander, though you know that they all have problems with team work.
You teleport with Guyver to the roof and form the greenish bridge. The people look skeptical, but then step forwards...
"Freeze!" orders a SWAT in a large helicopter that just landed. "Are you crazy? Get those people into this helicopter..."
-----------
Sgt. Thunder, you can still get in, but you'd have to combat crawl under the semi.
Plunk! The tear gas grenade flies into the crowd of terrorists. Unfortunately, the effects aren't immediate, and some of them start shooting at you.
Eagos, you can do mind tricks to an extent, just like the Jedi.
Maddock, the detonators are downstairs in the middle of the firefight, but you can have gotten upstairs by leaping over them unseen.
