Crusade: Tinman! - Issue 22

Location: Crusader Citadel

Through the stairway door flew their next adversary, Centurion.

"I don’t know how you defeated Marionette and Hornet, Starboy and Tonto, but you will never defeat me!" He screamed.
"Crap! Where do they keep finding these guys?! Scumbags-R-Us?"

"Look, We both know how this fight is going to end, so how about you go ahead and give up and I will tell everyone how tough you were and what a good fight you put up. " At this point Starbolt's eyes began to glow as he attempted to intimidate the Centurion. "Or, do I have to get rough"?
Starbolt took flight to achieve a higher position and evade any blast that came.

SATRK!

Centurion blasted at ‘Starboy’ but his power blast was easily avoided.

Tomahawk ran over to a Mechanic’s tool box. He picked it up tools and all. He lifted ½ ton chest and threw it a Centurion.

BAM!

It struck him denting his armor. Centurion looked at him with a snarl. "Wait your turn Tonto, I will beat you down once I finish off Starboy here."

Then Centurion will suddenly find himself in a tornado of aircraft parts, battering and blinding him. The Wraith did not gesture or even look at him directly, remaining still and silent as always.

BAM! BAM!

The parts dented his armor further but wasn’t able to knock him out of the air.

                                                                     ** At the same time on the first floor **

Mocker watched as Manta Man and Enforcer moved to release the other Crusaders. While they were still recovering from the effects of the gas they were weak but Mocker wasn’t going to see if their numbers overcame their weakness. He turned and ran out of the room.

                                                                    ** At the same time on the third floor **

Sitting in the Security Monitor Console is Raijin. He is apparently meditating. There were streams of electricity flowing from him to the Console and back to him. Black Orchid created a separate the path to the Emergency Communications Console from Raijin by a wall of darkness. She moved to the ECC and activated. The single went out informing the police and CHESS that the Crusaders were in trouble.

BZZT!

An electrical blast struck the side on the ECC. Raijin said "I can’t see where you are but nothing happens here electronically without me knowing it. I would love to teach you a lesson but that will have to wait until after day."

Then Black Orchid saw Raijin run to the stairs and head toward the rooftop. She ran down the stairs to the infirmary where she found the Crusaders tending to an unconscious Manta Lad.

"Crap! Where do they keep finding these guys?! Scumbags-R-Us?" The solar-powered sentinel thought to himself. "Look, We both know how this fight is going to end, so how about you go ahead and give up and I will tell everyone how tough you were and what a good fight you put up. " At this point Starbolt's eyes began to glow as he attempted to intimidate the Centurion. "Or, do I have to get rough"?
OOC: Starbolt continues to evade, an if it looks like Centurion will not give up, then he will attack. Otherwise he will accept his surrender.

Sorry I'm at least on the cusp of being late for this, but examining the map...is that furniture near Centurion? If not, are there any loose objects at all near him? This will determine my next move.
 Thanks,

 Hi Thomas,
The Black Orchid will separate the path to the Emergency Communications Console from Raijin by a wall of darkness. She will attempt to activate the ECC and then continue down to where Manta Lad is (I'm assuming she heard Manta Lad fall).
-------------------------------------------
It is a Hanger and repair shop so it is furniture in the form of workbench, large tool box and Helicopter/Jet parts. Plenty of 50 to 500 lbs furniture and parts to choose from.
Best
Tom

The Wraith will not gesture or even look at him directly, remaining still and silent as always. Odd how this always happens, isn't it?

Crusadin' the night away,
 Greg.
