Sorry for the wait, school has reared its ugly head once more. With that said...
Turn 4: The Really Anime Bit
Vayerin RinfieldYou apologize to Spandex Dude. He gurgles blood at you in a manner that could be described as 'unhappy'.
[3]Hearing the water is very hard. Impossible, really, with the helicopter sounds. It's a good thing you remember the direction you were heading in anyway, isn't it? Most excellent, really. You proceed to do so, and find a small river, tiny really, leading into a decently large lake. Following that a bit further reveals a beach with two people in the distance, and [4 vs 6] one of them sees you immediately, an old man. He doesn't do anything, though.
Unit ODOR[2 vs 4] Well, your sensors don't manage to find much of anything. How tr- [6 vs 2] you hear the loud and distinctive sound of something impacting into the earth heavily even as you jump to the side in all your bulky glory, before hearing the sound again. Oh, wait, that was just you again. Looking to your side reveals a large tentacle, and following it to its source shows a figure you decide to dub Empty Green Hoodie, because, really, that's what it looks like. A green hoodie covering a vast, nigh-infinite expanse of space that your sensors are analyzing even now...
And then it speaks.

You just about make out the words through the chorus that surrounds the
thing's voice. Making up your mind rather quickly, you decide to show it your displeasure at being attacked by punching it in the face. You only just about manage to clip it unfortunately, though even that causes its face to warp and spasm in odd ways.
The AmalgamatorYou shoot, and [1 vs 5] miss most tragically, hitting a poor unfortunate tree instead. You monster. Seemingly enraged by your brutal murder of a tree, and unaware of his hypocrisy, [6 vs 6] the lizard man crushes a different innocent tree on his way to you, but it diverts him enough for you to sustain only a mild hit at best, and you give him another light slash in response.
You notice that the forest around you seems rather worse for wear, and that [Lizard Man: 5] the lizard has grown another foot or two in response.
The Overman[2+1 vs 2]Well, you try. Oh god you try. All you really manage is to take some of the red meat's redness off of its head, however, revealing that whatever it was, it wasn't a part of its body. Your teeth also cause some bleeding. You can tell by the taste of blood in your mouth, and the fact that the red meat is, in fact, bleeding.
[4+1 vs 5] The white meat tries to attack you with its remaining arm, and you swiftly counter with a bite. Neither attack succeeds, since your teeth fail to go through whatever has been blocking you for so much of this fight stops your teeth dead in their tracks. You both break away, though the white meat stumbles a little. That is a
lot of blood there.
[Red Meat: 4]The red meat clears the blood from its eyes, and can see again. It makes use of this newfound sight to slash again. [2-1 vs 1] It misses completely. Alas.
Jerrod Plissken[5 vs 4]You decide to trip THE WALL, and, in a sequence straight from an action movie, dodge through his shield strikes, slide down and then push your knife straight through the gap between his leg armor and his armored boots. Originally you considered kicking him, before deciding that no, you didn't want to see your leg's state after it hit several hundreds of pounds of armor.
The wall falls down, both due to damage to his leg and because you're a prick and decided to, quite literally, twist the knife to knock him over. He's down now, and he probably won't get back up. You did kinda fuck his leg up.
"ALAS. THE WALL HAS FALLEN."
Matthias Nix[3 vs 5] Your attempt to knock the gun right out of his hands falls flat. He decides to shoot you with the gun, since you seem to dislike it so much. [3 vs 5] You almost dodge. Almost, really. But this time, the gunshot doesn't go wide. Instead, one of your hands, the one not holding the spike, is disintegrated-
Pain. You feel a lot of pain. And you take exception to that.
[4 vs 1] So much exception, in fact, that you decide to just activate the Earthshattering Spike, [Recoil: 3] managing to absorb the recoil for the most part, though it still hurts like hell. However much it hurts you, though, it probably hurts the other guy more, considering that he just went straight through that tree and is currently lying on the ground, with his leg at an odd angle and his head bleeding.
The spike didn't seem to go very far in before propelling him with absurd force, but you're fine with that. You can tell it'll need some time before it's ready again, though.
Frank Parker"Mmm. Good to hear, I guess."
[6 vs 4]You notice someone standing fairly far away, on another end of the lake. A teen with a rapier still slick with blood. Oh dearie me.
John Doe[3-1-1 vs 2]Well, turns out, strangling with one hand is REALLY HARD. So hard, in fact, that it fails. [4 vs 3]Fortunately for you, the woman seems too tired to do much of anything against you either at this point. [Silver Glow Woman: 1] She tries to heal herself again, but it fails, the light flickering out before she can do anything. You both collapse to your knees, some distance away from each other.
(also, I just realized that as far as my character is concerned, he is quite literally fighting "white meat" and "red meat", I mean, I knew that's what we were calling them, but I just connected those to the fact that white meat and red meat are actual types of meat.)
