Location: Crusader Citadel
Outside the storm raged across Center City. A huge storm cloud settled on the top of the Harmon Building, the home of the Crusader Citadel. One CHESS Knight on a Skybike flew into the cloud to attempt to land on the rooftop. He was the last to arrive in response to the Crusaders’ Emergency Communications distress call. Lightning flashed from within the cloud as it started to ascend from the rooftop.
On the fourth floor of the Crusader Citadel a battle raged. Eyes glowing with light, the stellar powered Sentinel adjusted his flight to face this newest menace. "I would suggest that you save yourself the pain, and surrender now. It will save us time, and you can tell your friends that you put up a heck of a fight. I would advise you not to antagonize us." Starbolt was ready to blast him if he doesn't give up.
“Okay, okay, it’s obvious that with the Crushers it is every man for himself. I am more worried about my armor that what they think of me. I give.” He cut the power to his boots, slowly landed on the ground with his hands raised in a position to reinforce the fact he was surrendering.
Tomahawk took out the cuffs that the MPD gave him. He cuffed Centurion. Tomahawk removed Centurion’s helmet, tossing it to Starbolt. "That went well. I wonder how it is going with Manta Lad and Black Orchid? Do you know what she meant about Raijin on his way toward us"?
Tomahawk activated his comm. unit. "Black Orchid, Manta Lad, how is it where you are? Do you need help?"
"Black Orchid here. Manta Lad is down for the count but alive. A number of Crusaders are back in business and there are two less Crushers to worry about. We may have backup coming soon. I saw Raijin escape upstairs. Did you encounter him?"
"Black Orchid, We haven't seen anyone coming this way. Let us move toward each other, and maybe we can catch him between us and convince him to give up." Starbolt replied to Black Orchid. Taking flight The Stellar-Powered Sentinel said to his team-mates. “Let’s catch him in a squeeze play."
The Wraith quietly followed the others.
Tomahawk stopped when he entered the stairway. He looked at the ground and the walls. “There have been people running up this stairway. One’s footsteps are very heavy and the other leaves little burns where he touches. I believe that Mocker and Raijin both have already passed here. They are heading to the roof.”
The rest of the heroes followed the terrific tracker to the roof top. When they burst onto the roof they saw there are four CHESS Knights lying unconscious on the ground. Two of their Skybikes are parked on the roof. The other two hover above the roof with Mocker and Raijin riding them. They flew away from the rooftop.
Tomahawk ran to one of the remaining Skybikes. “They are out of my jumping range”. He yelled to his teammates. “These can’t be too hard to ride can they?” Having said that, he climbed on a Skybike starting it up.
“Black Orchid; The Wraith hurry up and get on. We must help Starbolt catch them!”

Tomahawk activated his comm. unit. "Black Orchid, Manta Lad, how is it where you are? Do you need help?"
He will follow Starbolt's direction on what they do next. Without direction, he will run down to the lower floors looking for Black Orchid and Manta Lad.

Wraith will quietly follow the others. He will look for a sprinkler system overhead. If Raijin is encountered he will look for an opportunity to telekinetically twist open the pipes and douse the electrical villain in water, hopefully short-circuiting his powers.
