Bonesnapper: WHAT IS HIS WEAKNESS? - Issue 13

Location: Center City near midnight

The serpent’s head smashed in to the passenger window.  Oww! Michael heard the woman officer scream in pain.  The officer next to him murmured, “Officer Walker, are you all right?  Officers down, I repeat we have Officers down.”

Within the garbage truck, Bonesnapper heard a communications device sound. “Sam, this is Centurion. Dr. Morrow has created a force field within the patrol car.  We can’t get him out.  Collect your trash ASAP. We will need to bring the whole freakin car back to the Citadel in your truck.

Ffstt. Ffstt. Thuk! Thuk!

Arrows flew across the sky and struck both the tires on the opposite side from where the driver was standing.  The tires deflated and the garbage truck leaned slightly to the side.

The hooded bowman parkour down the side of the building next to the cruiser with the drugged police officer. He snatched the police radio off the officer’s belt. The bowman to the alley, then drove on a motorcycle in the direction that the third patrol car had gone.

The flying bumper twist around like a boomerang. It flew back towards the "trash serpent" at breakneck speed....

...and then suddenly changed course towards "The Trash Man," and hit him instead.  Unfortunately the blow was not enough to stagger the man, let alone bring him down.

Officer Perkins ran out of his car.  He opened the trunk of his patrol car pulling out his shotgun. He aimed the shotgun at the garbage truck driver.

Ka-Boom!

Unfortunately Carl Perkins was still shaken from the collusion he was in. His aim was off, missing the ambushing Crusher.

FWUUMPH!

A grenade streaked across the sky. It flew into the cab of the garbage truck.

DA-BOOM!

The communications device ceased emitting sound. The steering wheel was gone and the seats were on fire.

Snakes, Michael thought to himself. It had to be snakes.”

Clearly, the man in the garbage truck was a meta! He must be controlling the trash, forming it into a serpent. And if he was after the officers, then it seems pretty clear that he was a bad guy.

Michael spent a moment studying the garbageman. He noticed that man was slow to movement as if something was hindering him. Bonesnapper knew that fast lateral attacks would be most effective as the garbage truck driver would not be able to bob or weave out of the way.  Watching intently a little longer and Michael knew what was restricting the Meta’s movement. It was the dirt, mud, and trash caked onto his body.  It was providing a covering, a protection of sorts.  The covering appeared as if it could be easily washed away.

{GM Note: Weakness Detection takes an action but is always successful.  Bonesnapper gains a +4 to hit and knows the Garbage Man has vulnerability to Water.  Water based attacks cause triple damages)

Officer Alice Walker struggled in the grip of the trash serpent. She drew her pistol but was unable to find a shot.

Ka-Blam!

She fired in desperation and the shot missed.

Officer Milford rose up from the other side of the car. He fired his service revolver at the trash serpent. His aim was true but it wasn’t enough to drop the debris beast.

The trash serpent yanked Officer Walker from the patrol car.  It carried her over and dropped her in the back of the garbage truck.

The Garbage Man stretched his hands again. This time a debris dragon rose from the garbage truck.  It attacked Officer Milford. He was able to roll with most of the blow. He grunted in pain but moved away from the trash monster.

Michael spends a moment studying the garbageman (Weakness Detection). Then, he tries to sneak up on him, unnoticed. If successful, he strikes with a tonfa from behind. If the effort to sneak up on him fail, Michael launches an attack from the front, hoping to at least catch the opponent by surprise.
