Red Ranger has posed:
     It's a rather plesant day in the late fall as the various robots, 27 in all quietly skitter along the tall buildings of Midtown, ranging in size from that of a medium sized dog, up to quad-cab pickup truck they spread a net across the city, waiting for their prey.. Spider-man.

    With intelligence little more than that of a well trained dog, when Scarlet Spider is seen web slinging across town they lock onto his movement, the more than two dozen robots making their way across buildtings to wait in ambush. And Ambus they do!

    Just as Scarlet Spider is crossing one of the larger intersections in the city when it happens, energy blasts come flying out of seemingly nowhere, the Spider-Slayers able to neutralize Scarlet Spiders spider-sense. Not aiming for the man in question though they aim for the webs blasting through them almost as quickly as Scarlet spider is able to fire them bringing him down in the middle of the intersection as four of the largest spider slayers drop down from their perches on the sides of buildings one hitting the hood of a car sending it flying, while another car just about to cross the intersection swerves to miss one of the robots as more of the smaller ones come swarming out.

    The car manages to avoid the robot, but is about to hit a woman who was crossing the street in the opposite direction, a young teenager in bluejeans and a red t-shirt manages to rush forward to knock her out of the way as another car slams into the robot in question, it turning it's attention on the car but mistakenly determining the teenager to be the main threat it's body turning as long blade like arms unfold from it's back the single 'eye' in it's head starting to glow with the buildup of another one of those blasts, but much bigger than what the small bots were using on Scarlet's webs...

Scarlet Spider has posed:
Out for his daily routine of patrolling the city, and generally trying to clear his head, Ben is swinging his way through Midtown and not really focused on anything in particular. The act of webslinging is natural and requires very little attention. If he needs to pay attention, his spider-sense will gently nudge him. When he suddenly finds himself tumbling down through the air, his eyes widen and he immediately shoots another web at an adjacent building and gives it a tug. When that web gives way and he continues flailing closer and closer to the street below, a few choice words emit from beneath the mask. "What he hell!" He flips head over feet and fires another pair of webs at building on opposite sides of the street, managing to slow his descent enough so that when he hits the pavement it doesn't shatter every bone in his body.

Hitting the street, Scarlet Spider rolls as best he can and goes tumbling over the curb where he finally comes to rest on the sidewalk. Leaping up to his feet, his eyes narrow at one of the robots and he leaps into the air, flinging webs in its direction in an effort to yank it into the air and towards him so he can attempt to swing a kick at its belly.

Red Ranger has posed:
     the other smaller spider slayers come swarming out from their buildings, cloaking technology helping to mask their presences turning off as they go leaping towards The Scarlet Spider as the one about to attack the bystandard is pulled back and away from his current target, those blades flashing to cut the webbing it turns back to face The Scarlet spider moving swiftly, but not inhumanly fast to try and bring those scythe like blades down on The Scarlet Spider, a recording playing from all the robots in what can only be called surround sound stereo.

    You die today Spider-man!. comes the distorted voice of a man..

Scarlet Spider has posed:
"Well that's just, like, your opinion, man!" Scarlet Spider shouts back as his body twists and contorts through the air in an effort to avoid being sliced up by these infernal machines! The lack of a spidey sense is unsettling and it's not making this easy.

As he comes face-to-scythe with the robot in front of him, he can see others de-cloaking in his peripheral vision, causing him to curse under his breath again. He barely manages to avoid being sliced open by the robot in his face and turns his torso to sweep his leg out and aim the heel of his foot at the side of the robot. At the same time, he glances around quickly to try and take stock of how many other robots are coming out of the woodwork, flinging a web at one or two of them just in hopes of slowing them down so he can regain some type of composure.

Red Ranger has posed:
     The sound of spider foot hitting robot head rings through the now quiet intersection.. well quiet being relative as people are getting out of their cars some running, others gawking several of the smaller robots get webbed up the webbing too strong to break free from, so they start to charge up their own little blasters and in come cases small scythe like blades pop out of their back making them look like zerglings as they work on cutting through the webbing or blasting their way out..

    The 4 larger robots start to converge on Scarlet Spider when from behind a large delivery van there's a flash of bright red light the red ranger catching two of the large robots blades with a pair of sword like blades that are materialized out of the gauntlets of his armor. "Mind a little help? I don't want to step on The Dudes toes."

Scarlet Spider has posed:
Looking around to see the number of robots growing and the distance between him and them shrinking, Ben is really beginning to get a little concerned. With one knocked out of the way for the moment, he turns to check on those he hit with webbing to see them quickly getting free. Damn. And now the larger robots are closing in on him. "I hate to break it to you guys... but I'm not Spider-Man." He leaps forward towards the closest large robot and aims his hand to fire a web but just then the bright red light erupts and slams into it and one nearby. He twists and flails to the side, landing in a crouch and peering over at Jason Scott, his eyes wide, "The Dude doesn't mind, man!"

Red Ranger has posed:
     "Don't you mean, 'The Dude Abides'?" comes the cheeky reply of The Red Ranger as he squares off with the robots, his back to The Scarlet Spider as the twin blades of his swords face away crumbling into red energy. "A block back I saw a narrow alley. Make our way through Tweedle number one over there, and move where they'll have less room to manuver around us? maybe we can start taking out some of the smaller, faster bots leave the big boys for dessert?"

Scarlet Spider has posed:
"Maybe when this is all over I'll buy you a Sioux City Sarpsparilla," he says through a grin beneath his mask as he glances down the street towards this alley Red Ranger mentioned. He leaps up and cartwheels over a stalled taxi and nods, "That sounds like a plan!" He makes a quick adjustment on his wrists and throws his hands out and fires a few impact webbing rounds at Tweedle Dumb to throw it off balance so Red Ranger can finish it off.

Another quick adjustment and he's spraying a wide net of webbing in the general direction of the smaller ones to buy them enough time to make it down to the alley, "Alright, let's move!"

Red Ranger has posed:
     The Red Ranger sweeps the robots legs with conciderable force, red armor slamming into matte grey robot before he leaps over the falling robot landing on the opposite side and mule kicking the robot with several tons of force sending it sparking and skating along the pavement into the other robots the wrist of his armor opening a port that allows him to fire several blasts at the smaller robots destroying a couple trying to move ahead of Scarlet Spider and himself. "On the left!" he calls out catching a near by signpost to help turn his momentum into the narrow 'alley' barely wide enough for a single car to get through. "I don't know how tough the big ones are, but I think we managed to get one down." he says looking around the alleyway.. "think you can put some webbing up above us? keep them from being able to easily get up there?" he asks..

Scarlet Spider has posed:
Firing a web at the corner of the building to divert his momentum, one of the bots rips it to shreds, sending him tumbling against the wall. He rolls and manages to catch himself on the brick and looks over to Ranger, then up into the alley above them. "Good call," he says and crouches on the side of the building, firing a series of webs up into the air to form a canopy of the substance. "Reminds me of 300," he says with a grin as he leaps down onto the pavement and turns to face the mouth of the alley, awaiting the killer robots.

When the robots turn the corner, he starts firing a few vololeys of impact webbing to try to take a few of them out of the air and get them on the ground where they can start wrecking, "Tonight. We dine. In hell!" He glances over at Red Ranger and shrugs.

Red Ranger has posed:
     The Red Ranger's left arm deploys a blade again, while his right still holds a futuristic blaster all color cooridnated with his armor, the disguised voice of the ranger coming with a faint tone of amusement. "Well here's hoping the story doesn't end the same way." he says as two of the large robots block the entry way of the alley a flood of the smaller robots coming in a rush twin scithe blades clicking on their hinges as they launch themselves at the two heroes. "This, is, Manhattan!" The Red Ranger calls out "web em, bring em in the air where they can't dodge, use your webs above to manuver, I'll keep them busy so they can't remove it!" he calls out fireing off a pair of blasts at the two closest as the leader of The Power Rangers goes into leadership mode..
