With a heavy sigh leaving his lips, his breath showing from the cold in a brief cloud of white, PirateJoe resigns himself...to either a brilliant idea or an over-complicated one. Placing his hands upon the broken red Subaru, he channels his Ice Magic to the cold metal, his fingertips and eyes glowing a cool blue as they use the channeled power. [10+2] He flash-freezes the Subaru, it's firetruck red color turning into a dull purple as a layer of frost covers it. It not only works the way he intended, the frost somehow lessening the weight despite the weight of the frozen water due to it's magical power, but it also converts the rounds in the Storm Laser. While it would previously fire plasma, Ice Magic seeps into the ammo supply, causing the previously red-hot laser rounds to convert to a cooler substance. [Intuition Check: 10] Joe, knowing his magic well, knows on pure intuition what the lasers do. While not hot enough to burn holes into targets, the plasma will exhaust itself onto a target and flash-freeze whatever hit. While Joe can restore the red hot plasma, the Ice Magic affected blasts are pretty effective. Joe then drags it towards the plane [6+2], making quick progress as the car and the Storm Laser are light enough to pick up and carry. He makes it pretty close to the jet, but before he can set then down, an Aether Rift opens next to the jet. Out of it pops three beings made of golden energy, their white, glowing eyes giving them an eerie edge. Both of their hands have clawed fingers, each point sharp and wicked as they hunch over, ready to begin the assault.
Train 45-A
Afternoon, Light Drizzling, 7/20/2016
With an impish grin on her face and two fingers on her chin, her thoughts forming into a plan that may seem like overkill to the average person, but her targets are no average people. Throwing the gas mask over her head, it's lenses giving everything a slightly green tint, she starts by rigging the smoke bomb and the first two bear traps, since they'll be the first to fire. [5+2, 7+2] All three are successfully rigged. Now, for the most dangerous items: the toxic gas and the explosive. [5+2, 9+2] BiggerFish rigs both, and while the Tabun Gas is perfectly fine where it is, the Claymore is placed in such a way that no one can escape it's explosive power. If she triggers that button, anything in the radius will be caught in the fireball. She looks out the door to see if her targets are coming. [6] She only sees the obvious: Jericho and The Operator are still in the cockpit. She can't tell if they're coming, nor what they're planning. She turns to the Adventure Core and asks, "
If you have any plans, say them now. And if you say "hit them really hard", I will kick you out the window.". The Core looks to her and says, "
Um, we could hit them really hard,", which causes her to scowl a little until the Core continues, "
By you throwing me at them?". Fish only sighs before nodding.

With silence in the air, the answers so far given, Beirus continues to work on what is, essentially, a doomsday plan against the opposition. Beirus pulls his Barrett 50. Cal out of his armor before using his Alchemy, Proto-Stone, and Aether powers to upgrade it. [10+3+2] What comes out is a new gun. Rather then the normal ten round magazines, each one 50. BMG, it now has fifteen rounds of bullets that can rip people in half. The scope now had variable sight, being able to click a notch and zoom in further. Each round, in addition to being large and powerful, now can accept Magic, leading to a potential fifteen round mixed bag of Magic Rounds. Thus, the Barrett M82 has been enhanced into the Barrett M223 Devastation. Popping the Sniper Rifle back into his armor, he turns around only for Theren to speak up, his voice still deadpan and emotionless. "
Why did you come here? If you wanted more information, why go to me? If you wanted a talk, that's reasonable.", he says, before his voice takes on the more sinister intonation. "
Did you come to kill me? We're both monsters, yet you still hold enough respect to Earth to reject the Operator's plan. Jericho's plan. So, what was it? Rejection of the ideals, or a simple chat between a scientist and an Alchemist of war?". Beirus turns back to look at him, forming a response to the query.
The three Ethereal allies of Beirus charge towards PirateJoe, claws at the ready. [4 v 5] The one in the front swipes, Joe dodging out the way by the breadth of a hair's length. [1 v 4] Another one charges in, only to slip on the wet floor and fall onto the asphalt. [8 v 5] The final one slashes Joe's chest open, four claw marks drawing quite a bit of blood. Not too dangerous on it's own, but it is still bleeding quite a bit.
BSN:
HOWDY. I'M GREATY. GREATY THE GREAT NAT.
So, yeah. Here's the turn. Don't really have an update, save for one observation: the final three here are all players from Chapter One. That's kind of cool, I suppose.
