Cyberdragon has posed:
for the Most part there have been some periods of unrest, some periods of fear but right now. Cyberdragon a vigilantee or hero, take your pick, has been in mutant town since Magneto's attack. One of the few heroes willing to all but take up residence in the aftermath of Magneto's attack. He's been staying at the Church, and remaining on the roof as a protector.

Right now he had just stopped a Truck that had attempted to bust throught he community with the occupants armed with automatic weapons and molotov Cocktails. And what has him genuinely concerned, is they said that more of their friends were on the way to avenge the president!

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua was very worried that anti-mutant sentinment was getting even worse of late. And... she just met Magneto two weeks ago and he seemed like a nice man - but the horrors that were splashed across the news channels. She decided to pop in on mutant town - having been there a few times. She uses chain-portals to get quicly to Mutant Town, and tears open a portal on the roof of the church. She arrives, glowing with power, as she crouches on the roof of the church, looking out. She then sees a truck that was trying to breach the concrete barriers as she floats over to land on the ground, watching. One of the yahoos saw the glowing girl and threw a cocktail at her. She holds her hand up as it gets to her, as it stops - then fires right back at the truck where it explodes on the hood, damaging the engine. "That didn't take long..." she mutters.

Cyberdragon has posed:
As Cyberdragon Uses his plasma blases to damage the tires and stop the Truck Cyber is not worried about the automatic Fire of the weapons as he lunges at them taking multiple shots from the weapon as he more or less grabs the man and throws him to the side of the road. Cyber's been talking and working with the locals and inhabitants, convincing them to help him subdue the attacks and bind them to allow the police to handle them. Unlike normal he doesn't destroy the weapons wanting them used for evidence.

So As he tosses some of the people to the ground other more durrible mutants come up to hold them down and use metal Zip ties, to bind and secure them. AS he works to punch, kick and smash agains tthe attacks. One lands a Molotiv on him, and at first he goes up un flames but all the fire simply falls from him pooling on the ground as he is left unscathed.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua glances over, shivering softly. She wants to be an X-Man one day - so she thought she could try to engage in this scene. "So - why did they come?" she asks Cyberdragon softly. Not sure what he is, but he's acting in defense so that's good enough. "Mutant-haters spurred on by what happened in DC?" she asks softly, not sure what to do. "I can move the truck out of the way - without damaging it."

April O'Neil has posed:
April O'Neil and her camera man Vernon Fenwick were in Mutant Town tonight, they'd been here for several hours now and were recording in various locations throughout the area southeast of Manhattan island.

The C6 News Van wasn't too far away from where Cyberdragon's heroics were happening, there was a braodcast being recorded for later tonight on the protests following the presidents assassination and the alegations against him presented by the captured Magneto.

April is outside the Van, holding her microphone and talking into the camera while the tall Fenwick records.

Cyberdragon has posed:
Cyberdragon turns to face the woman and nods, "yeah get it out of here and make sure they can't use it as a bomb!" he says breaking combat for a moment and then at that point one of the attackers comes up with an aluminium Baseball bar that has barbwire and Circular saw blades attached on the end. The musclebound brute swingsw it across trying to attack the dragon from behind. But instantly that tail simply lashes out and with a flash of bright light the downswing is pulled back as half the bat with weapons on the end skitters across the street one end glowing hot as the big guy is looking at the end of his bat. Then at Cyberdragon as the mechanical creature turns around.

"Bad Idea."

his respond comes from with Cyberdragon Back hands him staggering him. Then comes a right hook, and finally an upper cut that sends him flying back wards.

Three mutants come over holding metalic Zipties as they grapple with the man whom they over power and yanking his arms behind his back binding his wrists and ankles together. And with him down it seems the combat is over for a brief moment.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua nods as she darts over, quickly, to land on the roof of the truck. She concentrates as the entire truck is engulfed in a red aura and starts to float upwards. The truck starts to float upside down, though nothing in it seems to be noticing yet as it's in a zero-G field. She takes it to a nearby parking lot and drops it from six feet up - upside-down, enough to do serious damage to the vheicle, as she starts headnig back towards Cyberdragon, her flightpath a bit wobbly.

April O'Neil has posed:
Naturally with all the commotion going on the news team takes notice and April points her camera man in the direction and he rushes over in time to see Cyberdragon and Kitora doing their part to fight against whatever was going on.

April pointed Vernon specifically to the floating truck that was being flipped over and inverted, then dropped back down!

April's phone was raised up and she dialed her contact with the police, she spoke into it while Vernon recorded and a moment later she hung up and slipped it back into her leather jacket's pocket.

"Police are on their way." She told Fenwick who was just focusing the lense on his news camera. "Not soon enough!" He'd say back to his co-worker.

Cyberdragon has posed:
With the fighting over the normal humans are screaming to be let go, to be unhanded. And a few demanding to know if they are gnna kill them just like the president. As the Mutants more or less just pull them together and make sure they are out of any danger as their ranting, their raging how they will be avenged.

Cyberdragon comes over to the ones hwo helped subdue the haters thanking them for their assistance.

Finally as Kitora seems to be a bit wobbly he instantly goes over to help her as someone with medical training asks if she is alright. Cyber is asking for someone to at least bring her some water.

Looking around as his tail twitches in aggitation. Then over to the Reporter he sighs out smiling at her. offering to call her over if she wants to ask questions and make sure there is a video footage of the prisioners who clearly have not been harmed. Who are trying to get April's attention about how they will be killed, to get the truth out etc ertc.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua just sinks to her knees as she lands by Cyberdragon. "Sorry... trucks are heavy. It takes a lot of energy to put it into stasis so I can move it. I didn't drop it from high up - everyone in should be fine. Just was trying to make the truck hard to use..." She then frowns, as she turns her head. "Hey - what's that noise?" she asks, as she hears a loud diesel engine revving as she takes the waterbottle, sipping it, as she floats upwards to tr to get a better look - her red glow would make her extremely visible.

April O'Neil has posed:
April and her camera man would arrive near to where Cyberdragon and Kitora were within moments and April herself wouldn't hesitate to start questioning. She'd hold out her microphone toward the both of them, an ear-piece she wore beneath hre red hair made her own voice remain recorded whether her mic was up to her mouth or not.

"What just happened here?" The April asked, trying to keep her voice pitch and tone at a calm and collected level even though the dramatics of the display (ongoing and otherwise) were quite high.

Cyberdragon has posed:
For a moment as Cyber's distracted with with April as he listens to some of the Rioters as they say it's murder, they are going to murder them. And Looking to April, "What we have is a Lynch mob, a group of none mutants who came riding through mutant town expressing their displeasure at what happened with President Underwood's assassination with Assault rifles, Molitove Cocktails, and pipe bombs." he says lifting up one of the assault rifle, and then fires it into the dirt as it is fully automatic. An illegal modifacation.

For Kitora as she looks up there are three more trucks and then one person on the roof taks a rifle aiming at the glowing figure and comes a shot, trying to plant a bulle tin her chest. But with the truck on at a full speed it is bumpy.

The shot catches Cyber as her turns around and yells for the residents to get the prisoners out of the line of fire!" and tells Apial to get under cover. As he begins to lunge to the Trucks bringing his aim to bair as plasma fire strikes the lead truck's hood and engine as he is attempting to draw fire and protect the residents of mutant town.

The Hate mongers are calling, "Death to the mutant Plauge, Death to Mutants. Justice for the president!" A couple throw Molitov Cocktails at Stores and some mutants with powers to either grab or douse the flames are doing their best to just keep the fires out or extingues them.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua sees the trucks. "We have more company!" she calls... then BLAM! Someone took a shot at her. She tried to use a ripple of gravity to deflect the bullet away from her - but only managed to divert it... she screams as her right arm is hit by the bullet as she falls, her powers winking out for a moment. She catches herself, glowing again before she hits the ground, shuddering as she just clutches the bleeding wound.

April O'Neil has posed:
April's attention was on Cyberdragon when things quite explosively flaired up again and when the GUNSHOT rang out she did indee dive back for cover (as did Vernon, who peered around his cover with his camera still going).

April looked to the strange being that was Kitora and she looked to see if the injured woman was okay. "The police are coming, don't worry, we'll have an ambulance here in no time!" She shouted over the noise and chaos.

April looked to Cyberdragon. "Don't engage them if the threat is too great! They'll not hesitate to kill anyone who thinks they're on the mutant's side!"

Cyberdragon has posed:
for the most part Kitora is a target simply for having been here. "Down with the mutants!" one Screams, and he is throwing a Molotov Cocktail at her as the burning bottle flys through the air at her. Will she deflect it or will someone save her?

As for April she can see the mutants pulling the previously captured group into places where they can be protected and shielded.

And Cyberdragon is not willing to stand down and do nothing and allow people to get hurt.

As shot guns blast at him, he takes the hit, rolling and dodgeing a spray of automatic fire. His hands come up as he unleashes a series of quick rapid fire plasma bolts at the ground. They explode with a blinding flash of light, and concussion sound. Flashbangs.

As he has a short of sparks hit him from some automatic gun fire, there are also a couple of red clouds that push out of him.

and then the roll turns into a tumble.

Cyberdragon is down as some of them come over with crowbars and axes trying to smash and chop him to peices.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua manages to trap the molotov cocktail in her stasis field, but her glow is flickering - the pain is making it hard to concentrate as she grits her teeth, firing the cocktail back where it came from at high speed - towarsd the rifleman. She stares at Cyberdragon, as she finds some debris nearby - and fires it at those attacking the one in power armor - as her power glow is flickering more, shifting between the eerie form of Rift and a normal, scared-looking teenage girl with red hair.

April O'Neil has posed:
April would come to stand up when she saw Cyberdragon getting overwhelmed and she'd shout out at the attackers. "Hey, assholes!"

April's right hand pointed over at her crouched camera-man. "This is all being senjt out LIVE to the whole damn world!" She'd say.

Vernon, holding the camera pointed at the action would mutter quietly beneath his breath. "Don't draw their attention to us, Oat Meal... You're gonna get us flayed!"

April ignored him though and just kept shouting at them all. "Your identities are going to get figured out! Your asses are going to jail!"

Cyberdragon has posed:
Finally after what seems like an enterity the Dragon is up knocking back all his would be attackers with a loud bang and flash of light as he lunges un impeeded by the sound or light as he roars out in rage.

The sound of police sirens is heard, and several large police vans do arrive. Police come out with Riot gear, and riot shields. A few with Fire Hoses as well.

These are the good guys, and they act like it. A few fires that are they can see they instantly fire some water in the area to help get it under control. Shotguns fire as rubber shotgun shells come out and hit the rioters, as Cyberdragon lands several punches knocking his attackers down, it not out, and soon the would be attackers are subdued, through a combination of defiance from local mutants, but also the police actually doing their job subduing the lynch mob. But slowly after a minute or so the attackers are on the ground dazed and being aprehended by the police and some of the local residents, who step back when the police order them.

The Police are also told of the previous group that is currently in the church being held....

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua can't focus anymore as her aura winks out as she just sits there on the ground, trying not to cry, her arm bleeding profusely as she is just clutching it. She stares all around. "Mr. Metal Man... what is your name?" she calls, looking towards Cyberdragon, tears streaking down her face. "Damn, this HURTS..." she whines.

April O'Neil has posed:
April would happily flag the police down when they arrived and she'd specifically move for any EMT support and then motion THEM toward where Kitora and Dragon were. Once it was all getting into order with the authorities here, she'd return to her camera man and help direct him on where to point his camera.

April wasn't the kind of reporter to get in the way of Cyber and Kitora from getting the medical attention they needed, so she wasn'ta bout to rush to them and block any such assistance from getting TO them.

Cyberdragon has posed:
Slowly Getting composure as he holds his right side, and then looking over at Kitoria he is surpriced seeing her bleading as he coms over and someone fromt he local mutant pharmacy comes over to help her as well. An old woman, with what look likes goat horns, and goat legs as she comes to help, with a bleating tone to her voice she says, "h-h-h-here let me help you sweetieeeeee." and she comes with a first aid kit to help as some paramedics come up as she will help them assist.

Cyber refuses medical aid right now but it is clear he is favoring his left side some. but will give his statement to the poilce as some of the arrested are spouting off that the mutants attacked them first they were just driving through the area and they were attacked. Bull shit and April knows it but The paramedics will help assist Kitoria asking her if she wants to go to the hospital, or if she has another medical facility they can transport her to.

Right now Cyberdragon is moving out of the way as the police take charge.

Still he comes over to address Kitora, "Cyberdragon. I am called Cyberdragon or CD for short."

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua blinks as she murmurs that she'd want to go to the hospital. Her arm is mostly limp now. "Thank you, ma'am," she muses softly, not arguing as she smiles. "You can call me Rift. I'd rather not give my real name... I... I have to call the school..." she murmurs as she fumbles for her phone and tries to dial, nodding as she gives a report as well that she was just in the area and they were attacked - she was shot without warning.

April O'Neil has posed:
April and Vernon setup again near their van to to begin recording the piece for the news broadcast that is set to start in about a half hour from now. She got a call from her boss and wwent to climb into the back of the van to be able to reply while Vernon was getting ready to edit the footage he had taken with the camera.

"This city is turning into something out of an apocalyptic war movie." Vernon said to his co-worker.

April looked down at her phone as she got a few text from from her close friend... it was an image of some anti-mutant bashers hanging from a light pose upside down with ropes tied around their waists and the words 'Lame-O Losers' written on their tshirts in orange spraypaint.

"The good guys are pushing back. Things will be fine." April said back to Vernon.
