Status: Open and incomplete.


[RAWR BITCHES THIS SENTINEL IS TRYING TO STOMP ON YOU, LASER BEAM YOUR SLOW BUTTS, THROW DEBRIS AT YOUR FACES AND MAYBE EAT YOU, WHO KNOWS. THIS SENTINEL IS CRAAAAZAY. The Danger Room is set up in a pretty bad ass way. It's dusty, fiery, full of broken buildings and pipes. It's Wonderland for this big guy up here. And like... two of his buddies. Maybe five. Who knows. That's right, he brought friends.

Your job is to defeat them. DO SOMETHING OMG HERE THEY COOOOOME.]

MUTANT DETECTED.

[Julian's going to beat this bitch. Yeah, that one right there. He's basically a pro at taking down these badasses by now. By default, that makes him the biggest badass in badasstonia.

He takes to the air and avoids being blasted out of the park and is just playing dodge the giant hand for a few moments before going in for a few shots--but then he ends up being... thrown to the ground. It's painful. Ow.]

Blimey!

[Now that just pissed the Sentinel off, Jonothan Starsmore. The Sentinel raises his hand in Jono's general direction again.]

Someone wanna tag-team?!

[Ali's closing in fast on Jono, powering up for a huge photon assault on the sentinel she's fleeing from. She holds out her arm to him, motioning for her to spin her around to face the thing.]

Monkey see, monkey do, Chamber,

[jono-stars.livejournal.com]

That works!

[dazzlerock.livejournal.com]

[Circling back around, Ali come back to close in on Jono, noting the Iceman's preparation to put the sentinel on the deep freeze.]

Chamber, give me a leg up--I can overload it's visual sensors, give Drake a window to trip it up.

How does Logan do this shit all the time...?

[Ali reels for a split second, finding her bearings in the air before gracefully arcing into a backflip while releasing a mega ultra sonic-powered photonic blast directly in the sentinel's face, disorienting it. Unfortunately, Ali can't fly, she can only fall with style, and she careens through the air hoping to catch the outside of the sentinel's falling limb to cruise back down to the ground.]

Yo telepath, how bout an easy landing?

[jono-stars.livejournal.com]

Jono arrived in a flash, and was there to catch Ali in the perfect pose of a bride and groom. He even managed to remember to use a little of his telepathy to give her a softer landing instead of crashing down into his arms.

"Haha! Nice work!" he crowed. "That's a little Special of our own! A Screwball Special. Cause you're a little screwy in the head."

Ali gave him a glare.

"And so am I?" Jono offered as compromise.

Ali couldn't stay mad at him, even fake-mad. "You don't even know what a screwball is, do you?"

"Josh makes me watch his Yankees games," Jono said as they scooted away to launch another attack on a new robot.

[dazzlerock.livejournal.com]

OOC: AUGH WIN! Jono & Ali make such a great, great team!

"If we're gonna stick with the uneducated sports metaphors," Ali said, keeping pace with Jono on her roller skates as they ran into range of another sentinel, "wanna dish out a one-two punch?"

She pointed at the visual sensor, then below just a bit to the exposed cables and circuitry at the neck and hip joints of the giant. "I'll blind it again like before, you take it down at the hips, then we both come in at the neck and leave this hunk of junk for scrap."

[jono-stars.livejournal.com]

Jono gave her a wink and a nod, and made a step for Ali with his hands. "One Screwball Special, coming up!"

They did exactly as Ali had suggested, and their move worked like a charm. Jono found that while Ali had the robot's visual sensors blocked, he could scramble up the Sentinel's leg without much risk of being blasted off. The Sentinel tried and fried its own leg, while Jono used his energy blasts to burn away at the neck.

[The Cuckoos are in the same mindset as you, Josh. Except for the part about dodging and physical speed and agility. They'd rather not get dirty.

Instead, they are watching from nearby, eyes glowing as they play the role of the team's walkie talkies.]

Joshua, continue distracting that Sentinel. Perhaps we can summon one of our teammates to dispose of it?

[golden-elixir.livejournal.com]

Got it!

Get someone over here!

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

[The Cuckoos' collective voice rings in Bobby's head and he curves his slide around, racing towards Josh and the Sentinel. The way he sees it, he can do one of two things: immobilise it, or trip it up. He decides to go for the latter.

He signals for Josh to start moving backwards, and then he reaches out, forming a large pool of slippery ice between him and the Sentinel that is now beginning to lumber forwards.]

Time to put this joker on ice!

[He realises what he just said and groans. He's obviously been spending too much time with Ali.]

[blondetrinity.livejournal.com]

We agree, Bobby Drake. [Yeah, the Cuckoos are super creepy like that, snooping in thoughts.]

[golden-elixir.livejournal.com]

OOC: AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH *SNORT*. That was so, so perfect because it was SO cheesy-Saturday-morning-cartoon. AHAHAHAHAHA.



Man, I'm always the distraction.

[dazzlerock.livejournal.com]

OOC: THE PUNTASTIC PUNNING! PUNNIRRIFFIC!

[Hearing this get a distant shrieking holler from Ali, whooping it up with Jono in another quadrant of the battlefield.]

Anything less than the best is a felony, Vanilla--take that mother down, son!

Random OOC comment, sorry!

[The only thing Warren is really good at is flying. And he can really fly fast and with agility. So whilst the sentinel is distracted by the other mutants in the room, Warren carries some of the debris from the arena, flies at speed, and chucks them at the sentinel in close range. It takes a lot of skill on his part, as he must spiral out from the robot very quickly before it takes him out, but he manages. After a few minutes of this he flies to the ground and runs behind a building to take a breather. He surveys the damage he's done to the gigantic bot. It doesn't seem like enough just yet.]

Damn!

[Laura is squatting on some makeshift destroyed balcony a floor above Warren. She could probably take out the Sentinels quickly and efficiently if she played well with the team, but as always, Laura decides not to play at all until she is asked or is absolutely needed. Instead, she watches.

She looks down at Warren at his expletive.]

Hello. Aim for the head.

[Lately, Ali's got more practice trouncing rabid, sparkly vampires and sending zombies back to hell than dismantling Sentinels on the quickfast. That doesn't mean she's not ready and raring for a fight.

Kickin' it old school to the Beastie Boys, Ali hurls photon after photon at the monstrous robot, dodging and weaving between it's legs on her roller skates. On of her light blasts hits home, boring a hole in the metallic exoskeleton, but that means she's pissed it off while she's directly underfoot. Panic stricken, she's trying to outrun the thing before it squishes her like an empty beer can at a frat party.]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit...
