Green Ranger has posed:
There is a Cloud of Evil that hang over the world, a cloud of hate. dark vile emotions that are being magically manipulated. First in Angel Groves, Now. In New york. Something evil is growing on the hatred, absorbing it and re directing it like an emphatic wave. And the more anger it generates, the more it gets. And now. It's happened, Mutants in Mutant town that were once willing to use passive restraint are starting to talk about having had enough, and it is time to burn humans out from their world.

This is not the end of it, a group of mob, some three hundred hundred or so strong normal humans are all but leaving their places around mutant town, and holding knives, guns, bats, shoves, anything they can use as a weapon. And are all running in a mad frenzy, "Kill the mutants, Destroy the plague." and as they run the epicenter of the magic moves with them, and right now it looks like a massacre is about to be unleashed...

Of all three, a woman, and to men are working the crowd up into a frenzy to kill every mutant, every man, every woman, every child. Leave none alive. And of course for those who can see it there are people in the place people who were once frequents to mutant town friendly neighbors who are marching on the area....

She-Hulk has posed:
With all the madness going on, Shulkie has been doing her best with crowd control. She's actually been retreating deeper into Mutant Town when she needs a break, since most of the violence has been on the fringes of the area as the protesters try to infiltrate the area so many have claimed as their home. She's been enjoying the local diners when she's hungry and hasn't really taken a break for a couple of days now. She's not really sure how many. Thankfully her gamma side effects help her maintain that level of activity but she's going to have to take a break soon or she'll faceplant on the sidewalk and sleep for a week. Probably not a good thing to do.

As people she's been spending time with and meeting during her down time start coming out of their homes with makeshift weapons, she frowns and moves to get in front one group heading toward the exterior. "Whoa whoa whoa there. Ixnay on the Urdermay! What in the world has gotten into you all?"

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Stephen sighs softly as he gets yet another notion of something going down in Bushwick. He was just here last night. This part of town is quickly becoming a nusance. For Stephen however, he has moral dilemnas whenever he's asked to step in. Disappoint those he cares about by fulfilling his oath as Sorcerer Supreme and allowing the conflicts to take the natural paths they will. Or stand up as the doctor he swore he was and defend all life as was his hypocratic oath. The two very often do not play well together and it makes Stephen's life that much harder.

    Stephen this time is free to interfere as magic is in play. Very dark and alien magic. This is Strange's wheel house and so he arrives in Bushwick with the faintest hint of a smile on his lips. He's planted into the air by a very odd wisp of smoke curling into reality and planting the Sorcerer on this side of the Time Space fabric and he looks down at the crowd. With a booming voice the Doctor does his Gandalf impression. "There will be no killing today in any one's name nor under any banner nor cause!"

Green Ranger has posed:
And now things just explode, One of the leaders of the mob lifts his hands up and it's like a surge of pure hatred. A wave of hate as if everything one sees is something repulsive and needs to be destroyed. The Crowd instantly explodes on both sides. For those who are senssitive to anger this could be very bad. A Number of the Mutants, many new comers are also riling up the mutants encouraging them to destroy the invaders as bottles of flaming liquid are thrown. Gunshots erupt, and soon it's like two tidal waves rushing at each other.

The three hanging back have smiles of the most revieled on them. And instantly he points his hands at Strange as the normal humans start to lunge at him. "Him first, he is your enemy, take him tear him apart!" And At this point Mutants begin to attack, not the normal humans, but Doctor Strange, An energy blast from behind is fired of pure lightning, it seems that the humans att seem possessed, their eyes begn glowing red, as do the mutants all falling under the spell and emotion of rage!

Shadow has posed:
    Natasha wasn't entirely certain why she'd come -- The Shadow's abilities are more suited to causing terror among the superstitious and cowardly than to quiet down a mass riot -- but she decided that she should at least try to see if there was anything she could do.

    By the time the Shadow arrives on the scene, the riot is already in full roar, far too many people to affect easily... But from her hidden vantage point it's easy to see the three hanging back, clearly fanning the flames. She scowls underneath her scarf. Don't people know that clouding men's minds is *her* prerogative?

    The dozens of people clashing with one another may be too much for her to affect all at once, but just those three... She reaches out with her Will, seizing and warping their perceptions, rendering them effectively blinded in darkness with no way to see who they're affecting...

Kaydin LeGraize has posed:
    Kaydin was amongst the crowds, moving with superhuman speeds. All that could be seen of the teen is blurs and bits of lightning. He moves amongst the rioters, moving to take away weapons from the various people. Atleast that was his idea. When he slows down enough to be seen he tosses the weapons aside. "What the..." He says as he watches the riot happen, unsure how to proceed with this.

She-Hulk has posed:
As the wave of anger and hatred goes through the area, Shulkie feels herself frowning instead of smiling. It isn't a familiar expression for the usual jovial heroine. She shakes her head, feeling like there is something buzzing in there which shouldn't be.

Just as a man tries to stab her with a knife. The metal bends useless against her stomach but does cut through the costume she is wearing, leaving a small tear in the material. She glances down at it then looks at the man. An almost negligant flick of her hand in a light slap sends the man flying twenty feet where he lands in a moaning heap. At least he's alive although he'll be hurting in the morning.

As the command comes, Shulkie turns her head and looks toward Doctor Strange. Her eyes seem to glow green as she joins the mob starting in his direction.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Stephen is floating in the air out of everyone's reach, and he snaps his grey eyes towards the one pointing him out and demanding that Strange gets torn apart. Strange is then struck by the unpredictable lightning bolt, causing him to fall out of the sky and land on a few people he's here to save.

    "No. Nooo!" Stephen howls as he struggles to cast a follow up spell.

Green Ranger has posed:
The Rangers had gotten word of Rita's latest monster. A creature that can absorb the emotion of hate and anger, produce an empathetic field of anger and hate around them. A synergy field that would make such a monster incredibly powerful in a short amount of time.

And with some of the people having been blinded by The Shadow they scream in outrage, Lashing out as foam starts to froth at their mouths. Almost like a magical form of Rabies. But the figures don't need to see to keep the anger and control up but as they are blinded it does startle them some, but not enough to drop the field. "Everyone here is your enemy everyone is a monster, They must be destroyed."

For Doctor Strange he may be best suited for the battle of magic, but he has the civilians attempted to disrupt his magic incantations.

But with people focusing on the heroes Some help does arrive. A Flash of light in the sky not unlike that of a rainbow explodes as six brightly colored heroes erupt on the scene. Red, Pink, Blue, Yellow, Black, and Green. The woman, and two men have their attention as all six rangers attack as one. The Pink and Yellow Ranger attack the woman. The Black and Blue Rangers attack one of the men. and the Green and Red Rangers attack the other Man. Their attack is without mercy or compassion. their Weapons Fly and cut down.

A Series of shockwaves and explosions as the Rangers target the Three.

And in that moment There is a break in the hat, as if minds are cleared. and the crowd on both sides is more or less in a daze.

The anger that was directed at She-hulk fades. As the Three people are knocked back and away A flash of gold erupts around a mane and woman leaving a woman clad in scorpion style gold arm, and some sort of monster wolf with wings in gold armor.

The Final figure takes several more strikes from the Green and Red Rangers. Before he is knocked into a wall and his body transforms into a red monster, horns twisted and flames from his back. "Foolish Rangers, Your no match for me, I am the master of HATE!" and then the monster with wicked claws lunges. As he begins to try and start bringing up that empathy field to once more start the rage again.

The woman and monster dog roar out, "Putties, attack destroy this town!" And instantly grey rock like constructs appear and start attacking buildings, cars, and of course people. But the hate field the crowd is staggered. The rangers opened a small hole will it be enough?

Shadow has posed:
    Putties aren't designed to be terribly accurate or discriminate, so it takes longer than it probably should for Rita to realize that her minions are especially inept tonight -- swings going wide, just over or past whatever scrambling civilian they were aiming for, stumbles slowing them down long enough for people fleeing them to get clear... It's not until one of them 'accidentally' decapiates another with a wild swing at nothing but thin air that it starts to penetrate that something is disrupting their perceptions, making them see things that aren't there, and not see things that are. Another Putty takes a swing at thin air, only for vaguely arm-shaped blur to strike its head from another direction, followed by several roaring blasts as point-blank gunshots shatter its chest, the muzzle flashes briefly illuminating a black-clad torso before it blurs and fades, impossible to track in the chaos and darkness while sinister laughter echoes from the very shadows...

She-Hulk has posed:
As the spell fades, Shulkie's anger doesn't fade. It is redirected at those who would use others as playthings, including her. As the putties appear, she has something she can hit. She dosn't want to hurt the civilians but these things that are attacking and destroying? They are fair game.

The first putty she hits, her fist goes all the way through its chest and it erupts into a cascade of clay and stone, littering the ground. With such a satisfying result, she simply lets loose. It isn't uncontrolled violence. As she swings for one, it ducks out of the way and a civilian is in the line of fire. The green glamazon manages to pull her punch and never touch the human. Then she backhands the putty, sending to flying and slamming into a building.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Strange had just barely caught his spell gesture in time to summon a pair of glowing circular disks that he uses as shields to block the incoming blows of several individuals. He sweeps out with his legs in a quick motion to trip those closest to him when he spies She-Hulk charging his way and suddenly the mystical air is interrupted and even over turned. "A mighty spell indeed!" Strange reports as he disperses his shields and starts to float once again, his eyes surveying the scene and with the power rangers surrounding the three individuals that started this riot.

    "You three! Your plight on this city ends now!" Reports Strange as the amulet around his neck opens up, like a mechanical eye but instead a blinding light washes out from the crest and the all seeing light of Agamotto washes over the area the three are in. The light blinds, purifies, burns and reveals the truest natures of anything in its path.

Green Ranger has posed:
Despite what some think, The putties are not entirely hapless minions. They are brutally effective swarm attackers. Magical constructs, and often attack as a horde with feints and distractions while, one or two intend to land the actual blow. As the putties attack each other, and some are killed they shatter into rock clouds as they are shot.

She-hulk might be free of the rage spell for the moment, but the monster begins to put it back up as he attacks the green Ranger with his Claws.

She-hulk finds that these clay Brains slash, punch and kick at her. They are magical so perhaps they can injure the Glamazon. But her strength is enough to pulverize them when she hits.

As for the Monster that caused this, it is also a construct, but different from the putties. It is magically tied and connected to the emotional spectrum, The Red spectrum, it feeds on rage, produces a rage field, and makes others succome to rage. The spells on it tight and well woven. As long as even the smallest part of the monster remains, it will be able to repair it's self. As long as Anger and hate and rage exsist it will never run out of power.

With Strange seeing the Red and Green Ranger knocked away, it pulls on the anger in the area and then fires off a powerful burst of red energy in his direction, a spell designed to surreound him with nothing but RAGE.

The other good thing is that with the attack the people and mutants are scattering which rains the monster of some power, but it is drawing on the anger of the planet's people.

The putties begin to burn some oin the light but they do not stop, the rangers themselves are shielded from the light, but as the monster makes one last attempt to turn the tide. It grabs hold of the Green Ranger and says, "Your Rage is powerful, now it is mine, use it to destroy in Rita's name!" and at that point The green ranger just roars out in anger and rage. It's enough to make the other rangers stop their attack on the woman and dog monster leaving them open to counter attack. And with it the Red Ranger is pushing hard to attack the rage monster with his blade.

It is at this point that the rangers abandon Scorpina and Goldar to attack the monster that has targeted their friend... they remember when he was their enemy under Rita's control... and how merciless effective he was.

Despite the Rage the Green Ranger in the Light of Strange, burns brightly, White, Pure. And STRONG.

The other Rangers also glow, they are teens, protecting this world, with hopes, dreams and a willingness to sacrifice everything to save this world, this town, and their friend.

Shadow has posed:
    And that blazing light chases away the shadows - including those concealing a black-clad form, suddenly plainly visible and not as tall as it had seemed, just as it pulls the triggers to send another pair of rounds through a Putty's head. The Shadow hisses and snarls, looking around where that blazing light is coming from, and directs a glare up at the Sorcerer Supreme before turning to run. This is no longer her battlefield, and she does not intend to stay with would-be allies that have this kind of cavalier attitude to friendly fire.

She-Hulk has posed:
As that spell washes over the crowd, Shulkie begins to change. One moment she is almost seven feel tall covered in toned muscles and a lovely shade of green. The next her body begins to shrink, shifting form until in the place of the gamma goddess is a dimunutive form that is perhaps five and half feet tall. She is rather non descript with brown hair and eyes, quite slim of form and perhaps might be called dainty. Thankfully her costume is made of unstable molecules and shifts with her.

Jennifer Walters blinks as she finds herself suddenly in a form that isn't meant to be in these types of situations. Fortunately, she isn't without skills in hand-to-hand. Betwen training with Captain America and a certain god of war, she's not going to go down without a fight. As the putties close in, she takes up a defensive stance and blocks a blow then kicks the putty away. Only, she doesn't have her strength so she isn't able to break it as she had been able as Shulkie. She curses softly under her breath as she flips another putty to the ground then feels a fist connect with her head, sending her staggering as the world erupts into stars.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    "By the hosts of Hoggoth, the cleansing light of Agamotto should have dispersed the clay men the winds. Once more!" Stephen bellows, the sky growing dark around him as the light itself grows brighter than the sun and he invokes the name of the creator. "By the Light of Agamotto, be it the will of the Vishanti! Cease this fight!" Strange completes his incantation, the wave of light from his chest strong enough to put Jennifer out of her Green ego, should be more than enough to disrupt and pin down any black magic being used in this battle. He aims it still at the creature seeking to cause chaos and anarchy among the mutant supporters and those that are anti-mutants.

Green Ranger has posed:
This is the perhaps something, the Light clenses the Green Ranger of this magical Anger and Rage, but in the end it returns in a much more natural form. Goldar and Scorpina are gone as the Putties break apart shattering but the monster, keeps fighting it pulling on anger and rage around him as the Green Ranger jumps from his kneeling position in a roar of anger!

Finally there comes a Wind and as the Green Ranger attacks the smoking burning red monster it explodes in a shower of dust and fire a burst of anger and rage flood the area and while it doesn't damage anything it is a psychic black lash.

But the danger is gone as the Rangers take stock of the situation, and for a moment they are on guard as if they are not sure the battle is over.

Behind strange comes an evil chackle, "Foolish Wizard, your power can not destroy me, You can no more destroy me than you can destroy rage it's self! I shall be back and stronger than ever before! I will drown this world in RAGE and HATRED!" and in that moment the monstervanishes teleporting away magically.

it's at this point the Battle is over as the Green Ranger just stands there, head down, seething with natural anger and rage... he was almost turned into a weapon once more...

She-Hulk has posed:
As the putties disappear, Jen finds herself with an aching jaw that is going to be bruised. Well, for a little while. Thanks to the gamme irradiated blood, she should heal pretty quickly. But for now, damn it hurts. She looks around at the milling people then focuse on Strange as she reaches into herself. Somewhere deep inside is that rage and she taps into it. A moment later, she is growing, getting taller as her complexion returns to a lovely shade of green.

"Much better. Damn, Doc, that is one hell of a spell. Remind me to be behind you in fights from now on."

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Stephen takes in a deep breath as the light is snapped shut as the amulet over his chest returns to normal and the very sky iteslf seems like it is undimmed by a switch on the wall.

    He lowers down and landing on two feet against the cold ground, Stephen looks to everyone present to make sure they're okay but Jennifer approaches him as she grows taller, bigger and all around greener. "I didn't think it would have that affect on you. It's never affected your cousin like that." Stephen explains.

Green Ranger has posed:
For a moment with the monster gone the Rangers collect themselves, they do start to help people. But finally it is the Red Ranger who Approaches She-hulk and Doctor Strange. "Sorry we couldn't get here any sooner." he says though his voice is distorted by the power of his helm. "It's not the first time we faced him. At first we didn't realize Rita had sent another one of her monsters. But he'll be back."

The Blue Ranger comes up at this point as he says, "Indeed, until we find how Rita connected him to the Emotional spectrum of anger and disrupt that connection. Zor-Don say's he can't be destroyed."

Finally the Pink Ranger comes over to the Green Ranger and places her hand on his shoulder and for a moment he seems to reject it, but he accepts it. And once done he and the other rangers save Blue and Red go to helping those who have been injured by Rit'as monster. Even though it was a short attack, the damage is severe as the normal people start to recover their senses and look around almost in shock and horror at what they did. Or almost did?

She-Hulk has posed:
"My cousin and I kinda of handle the gamma a bit different. He gets all AAARGH and SMASH and I get tall and green and more mellow," Shulkie says with a shrug. "Dunno why that is though. I get to keep all my faculties when I'm like this." She waves a hand at her green form as the Rangers approach, Hearing the explanation, she has to shrug all over again. "Way out of my wheelhouse. Probably something a Sorcerer Supreme could get a bit into though."

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Stephen bows slightly to Jennifer as she discusses herself and he smirks as he rights himself back up. "You're certainly the most gorgeous member of your family." Stephen smirks before looking back to the rangers and putting his fists agaisnt his hips and he states something that might not seem obvious to the teens. "Why not, instead of kicking it like you do, find a way to prevent the creature from returning home and nursing its wounds like some cerial villain, and find some alternative way to halt your foe. Such as prison, or banishment or some other form of restraint?" Stephen inquires as if that was rule one he learned. As it pretty much was being that he refuses to kill he learns other ways to defeat his foes.

Green Ranger has posed:
Overhearing the conversation The green Ranger comes over as he says, "It's not that Simple. Trust me I know. Rita maintains a close connection to finster's creations by magic. One she can severe at a moment's notice if it is used against her. When I invaded the Command Center a second time, I was ambushed and held in their most powerful force field. Rita used her connection to me, to simply pull me out without batting an eye."

The Green Ranger says without hesitation and a touch of anger. "She will also have part of him hidden safe to simple regenerate if the body is destroyed."

At this point the Blue Ranger puts his hand on the Green Ranger's shoulder as it seems to Calm him down. "Once we find out the connection we have a way we can adapt to sever his connection." The Blue Ranger says, "Without that knowledge it could over load and blow out the equipment or over power any spell with rage." he says.

She-Hulk has posed:
Shulkie opens her mouth then opts to not bother. She closes it and turns, heading back in the direction she had originally come from. "Good luck with the monster. I figure with my anger issues, probably best if I don't have a horse in this race against lest I be used against the heroes." She gives a wave of her hand. "Seeya 'round, Doc. And see you M&M later." Well, most of them match the colors at least.
