To Angel: <Are you able to run?>
<I don't think so...>
To Angel: <Just do what they tell you to do. I'll bring help and rescue you soon.>
<Um, alright...You're sure?>
You're being an idiot, you know. They're probably going to kill you. Or worse. You're not getting out without fighting.
[1v5] ((...Well then.))
Drop and replace powers, aiming for some sort of defensive ability, perhaps a personal force field or super durability or something. After examining my abilities, attack the guards in the most efficient way they allow. Possibly just lunging for the guy's gun and taking it from him, if I don't have any combat-worthy powers.
You gain the ability to shoot spheres of exploding fire out of your palms. Nice!
You gain very low level regeneration. It won't fix your leg anytime soon, but at least you get a few more minutes before you bleed to death. Might even get it to working condition with some medical aid.
Hop down and run for the elevator. If the guard chooses to focus on me instead of Angel, then block off pursuit with all the nearby flames I can gather, but if he chooses to focus on the girl instead of her pet, then just run.
((Angel tells me she can't run, and then when I tell her to just surrender, and that I'll return with help, she proceeds to attack, without me to help her. I... I don't know why Angel is committing suicide.))
If Angel attacks the guards, then I'll attempt to encase their skulls in flame, burning flame charges as necessary.
((WHY???))
Irene begins running away with the intent of calling for help. For better or for worse, Demon chooses that moment to assert her control over Angel. The guard is too distracted by all the
stuff happening around him to notice Demon raising her palm to target him.
Still adjusting to her new powers, Demon only manages to summon a tiny ball of flame. Her aim is excellent however and the guard gets no chance to react. The ball of fire buries itself in his chest, causing him to stumble backwards. He looks at Demon, more in shock than in pain. "Why?" is the only thing he manages to say as his chest begins lighting up. It explodes, filling the area around him with blood and burning
pieces of human guard.
The other two guards drop the hose at the sound of the explosion, now facing the remains of their friend.
"Vlaaad! Noooooo!" one of them screams. They go for their weapons.
Irene has also heard the explosion. She turns around quickly enough to see the guards going for their weapons. She tries using her powers to help, but in her panic she can't focus. An orb of fire appear between Demon and the two guards and then detonates into rings of fire, a line of fire going straight for their heads and chests.
The two guards are fast enough to jump backwards and duck, getting only minor burns from the ring of fire.
Demon on the other hand just stands there, looking at the approaching flames. Who knows what goes on in her head right now? Is she happy the guards are going to be hit by the flames? Is she happy that the flames are going to hit HER? Is her leg in too much pain to move? Is she just confused? Whatever the cause, the result is still the same. She stands there, taking a blast of fire straight to the face.
It's not hot enough to kill her instantly but it's very bad. Her biggest problem isn't that most of the skin on her upper body is melted and bleeding. Her biggest problem isn't that her eyes, ears and nose have been burnt and rendered useless. Her biggest problem IS that her lungs have just been fried, leaving her with no way to oxygenate her blood and a bad case pulmonary hemorrhage. No medic can help her now. She needs something stronger and fast or she's not going to make it.
It is debatable whether or not the fact that she remains conscious is fortunate. On one hand, she gets to try one last thing with her powers, perhaps something that will save her from certain death. On the other hand, she just experienced most of her upper body being burnt. That's can't be very pleasant.
There's a silver lining in that fire catastrophe. The explosion has formed a temporary barrier between the guards and Demon, obscuring sight and preventing them from approaching.
"You killed Vlad! You monsters! I'm gonna kill you and all your kind!" one of them shouts from behind the firewall.
((Ha! Your luck had to run out sometime! Unfortunately, if Angel dies, John(Toaster) is left as the most versatile of the group.))
