"Well, that's not good." Jenny sighed. "Too many fights going down at once."

Grey
Coming back with the others, the dimunitive magi sat down and waited for entry into the new world that looked suspiciously like another version of Earth from her vantage. Chances were that if it was an alternate Earth, her mage robes are going to stick out like a sore thumb. "Um... Anyone have a spare set of normal clothes lying around? Like... jeans and t-shirts?" Glancing at April, Grey hoped the girl would give her something socially acceptable.

April continued looking at the key for a moment, then glanced down at her bare feet and reflected that finding matching footwear in this place was way too damn hard, and finally returned her gaze to the key. She only had a vague idea about what it did... something about being the actual physical representation of the Gate of Babylon but that was enough to convince her that if she wanted the best things from in there, she'd have to use it.
The white-haired girl took a deep breath and twisted the key in the air. It seemed to unlock... something, as a tree-like shape of geometric crystal sprouted from it. It bent at the roof... then at the opposite wall, and the floor, before passing through people like they weren't even there and stopping once more at April. A single light traced its way down from top to bottom... and then the entire thing collapsed, along with the key, transmuted into a golden sphere.
A hand was eagerly offered as the orb rose up. First out was a handle... followed by the bastard offspring of a drill and a sword, or maybe their common ancestor: Ea, Sword of Rupture. It was surprisingly heavy, and for a second April's hand tipped towards the ground before resting it on her shoulder.
Rain blinked a few times, open-mouthed, before deciding that if her sister was going to be using THAT thing, she wasn't going to be caught dead relying on the instakill spear. It lacked flare. "Umm... can I have something else?"
She got Caladbolg, along with what appeared to be a sewing needle and an endless roll of silk. Those last two were probably intended for GS, to give her something else to wear. At least she didn't have to know how to make anything with them...

Achilles teeth started vibrating like electronic carving knives to try and saw out of the now much harder material as it tore itself away, jumping off of the Worgen with surprising speed and agility from a beast of its size.
Despite its best efforts though, the blast still clipped one of the giant metal honey badger's legs, causing it to land harder than it should have and stagger in pain for a moment as the impact caught it off guard. However, it was soon back on its feet and charging straight at Rage once again before leaping at him.
However, the metal elemental had a different sort of attack in mind this time. its body suddenly spun into a blur of motion as it moved to ram the so-called angel, rotating faster and faster in mid-air until suddenly it wasn't just a lunging beast anymore, but a massive, roaring drill headed straight for Rage.
Meanwhile, August had fallen asleep leaning against Mary, totally unaware of the battle.

Ling, noticing what Falkon was trying to do, attempted to help him by running after Doctor Z, also trying to stab him. Unfortunately, while Flanker managed to reach up to Griga, Doktor Z's shot had freed him before he could do anything. Ling's female bodyguard landed right next to Griga, and realizing he was now free, quickly attempted to knock him down with a powerful blow to his gut.
----------------------------
The orange haired man didn't even listen to Knight's words, and began to slowly march towards him and Toph, completely ignoring the damage his laser sight did to the Batmobile. "Martian Manhunter." He said in the same robotic tone, and his entire body slowly became a bit invisible. The balls Knight shot passed right through the man, falling on the ground right behind him.
"The Flash." the orange haired man said once the last ball passed right through him, and in a few seconds, he started to run at the same speed of the Flash towards Knight. However, there was the sound of the earth shifting, and a small knee-high barrage appeared in front of him, causing the orange-man to trip and to fly right into a building. Toph stood right besides Knight, her hands placed in front of her chest and her feet firmly planted on the ground. "No need to protect me, Mr. Brooding." she said, a prideful grin on her face. "I can take care of this guy."
"Superman." The same robotic voice came from the building, and the orange-haired man flew out of the building, going towards Toph. The girl gritted her teeth, since she couldn't truly see the man, so she raised her hands and stomped her foot, creating a barrier around her. "Martian Manhunter", the orange-haired man said, and Toph's grin returned as she expanded the barrier on the direction of the sound, hoping to send the man flying away.
The man simply flew right through the barrier, landing right besides Toph. "What?!" she yelled, turning around and trying to punch the man. However, he easily grabbed her hand, and the man's eyes flashed. "Blind Bandit." he said, and easily replicated the same stance Toph usually had, easily bending the earth around him to send Toph flying right into Knight. The girl landed in front of the teenager, and she stood up massaging her head. "How did he?... How did he do that?!"
The orange-haired man jumped forward, punching the air and sending two thick stone walls towards Toph and Knight, aiming to push them into the water. He proceeded to punch the air repeatedly, perfectly copying Toph's movements and sending a barrage of boulders towards his enemies.

The violent maniac that looked like more than one person was, in fact, more than one person. While not surprising, confirmation of that fact was better progress than guesswork. "I'm assuming it's to keep us brotherhood types busy while they progress with plan 'Eat Greed'. Still, smart call by the police."
The Joe Construct was not having a good day. "Holy Bat**** Fatman!" Hammer to the helmet face, nail bat to the knees (of course!), Mallet upside the head, a swiss army knife punched clear through their chest, and a small yappy dog biting at the ankles.
What? The other narrator did say anything.
The positively mangled construct reached out for the Superbat's legs from the ground, "Please, it's my last day until construct retirement! Stop killing me it's incredibly lame."

Once he had gotten Achilles off, Rage leapt to his feet, before going on all fours, and transforming into a large, wolf-like, and extremely angry bear.Although slower than the cheetah form, Rage now had the very helpful knowledge that it was being attacked by a Metal Honey Badger, and was able to dodge the drill, although one of it's hind legs was close enough to get a nasty gash, which seemed to make Rage even angrier. Once Achilles stopped moving, it would be confronted by an enraged Rage charging directly at it's badgerness, attempting to bash into Achilles with the combined momentum of it's charge, and it's unnaturally hard skull. Meanwhile, Mary had wrapped her arm around the now-sleeping August, and was resting, although the noise outside was a little loud for her to sleep.
Ling's female bodyguard would find itself in quite a deal more pain then whatever her punch did to Griga, as the moment his shackles were broken, his body sparked with an electric aura strong enough to paralyze any idiot that decided to hold on for any large amount of time. Once he had recovered from the blow, Griga turned to his attacker, and attempted to grab her by the neck, in the hopes of channeling lethal levels of electricity into her body.
As Composite Superman was busy attacking Joe's construct, the ground beneath the real Joe and Nightwing began to shake slightly, before the cause was revealed to be a pair of long, extremely sharp bones, that didn't seem to fit with any specific creature, erupted from the ground beneath them, attempting to skewer them from top to bottom.

"Crap!" Nightwing yelled, jumping away from the bones. However, his yell attracted the attention of Composite Superman, who stopped mangling the construct. He gritted his teeth, roaring, and raised his hands, sending multiple lightning bolts towards Joe.
---------------------------
Lan Fan wasn't stupid, and once she was electrocuted by Griga's aura, she immediately tried to jump back. However, the aura was strong enough to paralyze her, and she fell to the ground, groaning. Griga could easily grab her, if Ling hadn't stepped forward, blocking his attempt with his sword.
"Not now, fish-man." He said, his smile disappearing. Knowing that metal can conduct eletricity, Ling pushed Griga back, doing his best to stay a safe distance away from him. He approached Lan Fan, lifting her body and placing it over his shoulder, holding onto her with one hand and getting ready for Griga's next attack.

As might be expected, Knight didn’t budge an inch at his collision with the blind girl, taking Toph’s hurtling weight with about as much concern as that of a... very unconcerned thing. Maybe a statue.
“…Amazo,” was all he said, even as he inserted yet another Ranger Key into the spring-loaded cylinder atop the Gokai Gun, which popped out at the press of a button.
“Prepare yourself.” He didn't seem very worried.
Unceremoniously grabbing the Earthbender by the back of her collar and dropping her out of the path of the walls (he didn’t think she would be steady enough yet to do it by herself), the spandex-clad youth spun and took to the air in a prodigious leap, soaring straight over the barriers of rock and past the first of the flung boulders as he arced towards Amazo from above.
If he had taken Toph’s powers... he had also taken her weaknesses. Which meant...
The cylinder clicked down.
FINAAAAAAL WAAAAAAAAAVE!!! the announcer screamed, as the white symbol on the side of the firearm burst into a strobing, pulsing sequence of cycling, multicolored light.
Red. Blue. Yellow. Green. Pink. Red.
Time seemed to slow. His white-gloved fingers brushed the rough surface of the boulder beside him, pushing off ever-so-slowly. The air wrapped itself around him, dense as flowing treacle. Amazo was there, and she was there, and he was here, above him, moving at the same, leisurely, unhurried speed. Just as slowly. Just as accurately...
Now.
The world went back to normal again.
Vaulting off the next of the rocks in mid-air, Knight took aim with both hands, using his incredibly heightened senses to line up the shot with pinpoint precision.
“Gokai Blast.”
His finger brushed the trigger, before clamping down firmly. Sending his whole body backwards with the recoil, a massive, bullet-shaped projection of red energy shot towards the android, holding enough power to turn a small house into nothing but a few plasterboards and blackened ash.

Moerin and the Spice Girls - SPACE BATTLESHIP IWASHI, wherever the others are. For simplicity's sake, we'll say it's the hanger.
"Ooh, awesome!" Jolokia had arrived just in time to see Caladbolg produced, and instantly made a beeline for Rain. "So cool! And..." Her eyes turned to April for a moment, resting upon Ea for just a second before she winced and turned back to Rain. "...That thing makes my head hurt... Owies..."
Anise arrived not long after Jolokia, and somehow looked even more irritated than usual. Her totally-not-a-date with Emizel hadn't gone particularly well, after all. On the plus side, at least she'd gotten a chance to try out that Holy spell again...
"So the gang's all here, then?" Finally, Moerin made her way into the hanger. She was... Surprisingly calm, seeing the situation, but there was a fire in her eyes that hadn't been there before. As she walked towards the others, they could feel a warm, gentle heat emanating from her. "I hope you're all ready... I'm sure that whatever awaits us down there will lead us to Shocker. But... No matter what they throw at us, I know we can win." The catgirl turned to her vassals, nodding at them as though she had figured out something with them beforehand. And sure enough, as soon as she did Jolokia made her way towards April and Anise stood beside Anno.
"Miss Moerin thinks we should fight together, January!" The Kensei said, trying to avoid eye contact with Ea. "Something about our abilities working well together or... Something, ahah!"
"...As I said before, you're the only one I actually respect," The Tsundere Sorceress muttered. "I'm glad to see you took my advice regarding Rain, by the way."

Space Battleship Iwashi
Well, that was a confusing series of events. The tree of red lines that had spread out from that red key was just... confusing to look at. Having it go right through her with seemingly no ill effects was just mind-bending, to say the least. Anno tried not to think about it too hard. However, the result, well... Anno would recognize that... weapon anywhere. It looked exactly as it had in all media depicting it, after all.
You couldn't call it a sword, not really. Sure, it had everything it needed to be a sword, a hilt, a 'blade' of sorts, but it had many of the characteristics of a drill. It wasn't a drill, either, it was a... weapon. Ea was a strange thing, and Anno was a bit surprised that April had picked it. Did she really think that she might need to use something with the power to destroy a planet? Well, it really was quite flashy, and it was possible to use it without destroying a planet, so perhaps that was the reason...
Anno nearly spoke up about this, when she realized Anise had taken a position beside her, and mentioned... that.
Anno immediately blushed and found herself staring directly at the ground. "Oh... I... um... I-I... um... th-th-thanks... I... I... um..."
As easily-embarrassed and shy as Anno was... well, this reaction was rather inevitable.

Jenny found her eye wandering as she stood in the hangar. And it was drawn to one specific thing.
In amongst the various esoteric craft, sat something that looked a bit out of place; a dirtbike with what appeared to be a silver and blue representation of a space shuttle sat on the front and rear. A silver crash helmet with metallic blue stripes and a pair of black-strapped blue googles sat on top of it, along with a pair of black gloves with pink plastic armour pads on.
"Does anyone know where this came from? Because part of me keeps thinking I'm meant to be using it."

Post by Flanker on Oct 31, 2012 12:17:05 GMT -5
Unfortunately for Flanker, two things had been true for him at the moment when Griga created his electric field: one, he had been in contact with him, and two, a Mega Man's armour had various metal components. The only saving grace was that his hand had brushed against Griga rather than getting a firm hold on him.
When his muscles involuntarily contracted, Flanker's hand clenched at thin air and pulled away from his opponent, breaking the connection. This was cold comfort, however, as Flanker dropped to the ground like a sack filled with bricks, jolting and juddering as his body convulsed. His body felt like it was on fire and his mind was sent reeling, scrambling to keep up with the pace of events. Even with superhuman abilities, being electrocuted was debilitating.
A split second later, Flanker clumsily clawed himself back to a standing position, his hands and arms twitching occasionally as they suffered under the after-effects of the electric shock. Quickly, he switched from Model Z to Model H. The trembling disappeared, though Flanker still looked rather shaken.
Acting quickly, the Mega Man tried to clamp a hand on to Griga once more, using his own Biometal's electrical abilities in an attempt to somehow siphon off the electricity. If he could have, Flanker would have shocked Griga on the spot, but that was probably not advisable. Instead, he settled for pointing one of his beamsabres at Griga's neck, feeling safer now that he knew he was at no risk of a shock.
"It's over. We've got better things to do than this... such as stopping that guy from getting away." Flanker indicated Doctor Z and wondered what the heck he'd do now. He couldn't leave Griga alone, but the place probably wouldn't be safe for much longer if they couldn't stop the doctor.

The Hellhound Phantom was soon suplexed by Murray, though he wasn't defeated like the one that fell before him. He was then attacked by some rubble that Magi threw. The Caitsith was impaled again, but it didn't seem to mind it. It attempted to attack Al again.
Dr. Maki then left, though not by the usual means. He opened a dark portal underneath him, as he slipped through.
"Hah! We were banking on that idea, Water Bender, but you see... We made this Kaijin waterproof for this very purpose!" Doktor Z said.
Scissors Jaguar blew up just as the bodyguard kicked the Kaijin, akin to a soldier jumping on a grenade. Ty Lee's knocking out wasn't nessessary, as Chainsaw Lizard fell to the water. Her explosion was softer than the others due to the water from both the bending and the water on the sewers.
Doktor Z laughed his ass off, until he was stabbed in the gut by Falkon. "You... bastard..." He said. He was then stabbed again by Ling. "GRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ONORE!" He screamed
"Gai, do you have the Gojyu Drill?" Lewis asked Gai. Gai nodded as he beamed up everyone in the cave and placed them in the Gojyu Drill's bridge. The Gojyu Drill then flew off to where Batman was. When they reached him, the Gojyu Drill dropped off Ciaran and Joseph to where the fighting was.

"There!" Roy yelled, pointing at the portal. "Fullmetal! Robot! Oleg! Magi!"
He turned back to see Alphonse easily dodge another attack of the Caitsith, before clapping his hands and touching the ground once more, this time trying to encase the Phantom in stone, trapping him there once and for all. "Our enemy has gone underground! All of you, follow me!"
He jumped over the table, followed by Hawkeye, and quickly slid into the portal, ready to attack whatever was on the opposite side.
-------------------------------
Amazo, however, wasn't dumb. The moment he heard Troy say "Gokai", he quickly said "Martian Manhunter", changing his density and staring at Troy as the red energy shot passed right through him, hitting the water behind him. "Ray." the robot unceremoniously said, raising his hand. Light began to be sucked by his hand, with nearby lampposts turning off every second. Then, he thrusted his hands forward, shooting the beam of powerful light at Troy.
At first, it felt like a bunch of bees stinging every part of Troy's body, then it felt like he was being burned alive, and then it finally felt like every single bone of his was being smashed by a hammer. He eventually landed on the ground with a thump, even if Toph did her best to ease his landing. She ran over to him, shaking his head. "Come on, come on, stand up again, Shining! Don't go I need to sleep on me right now! Stand up!"
The girl gritted her teeth, raising her hand, sending another barrage of boulders towards Amazo, who began to slowly walk towards them. Just to drive further the point of how powerless they were against him, the robot began to dodge the boulders in many different ways, all of it with the same deadpan expression on his face. "Superman." Boulder destroyed. "Martian Manhunter." Boulder flew right through him. "Tasmanian Devil." Amazo seemed to transform into some sort of were-beast for a moment as the rocks crashed against him, doing nothing. "Ice." He said, turning back to normal, freezing and throwing away a bunch of boulders.

Space Battleship Iwashi"A new world, huh..." Looking out his viewport, a certain enthusiastic vampire flipped the hem of his cape." Obviously this means we should use the heck out of the Laharl Kaiser V (replica)!" Valvatorez exclaimed as he opened a door to reveal a giant robot. "Everyone loves giant robots!" "...My lord..." Frowning, the ever practical Fenrich took it upon himself to sway his lord from this latest buffoonery. As the werewolf was lecturing the vampire, Emizel and Desco came down to the hangar, the latter in good spirits and the former with a grimace on his face. "Casting such a high level spell... that woman is a menace." It was clear that Death was in a bad mood. Perhaps he needed to pick up the mood better? Blinking once in surprise as the needle began creating articles of clothing, Grey glanced up at Anise's announcement. "Congratulations to the pair of you." The mage gave a single thumbs up to the duo along with a knowing grin. Turning over to Moe, she peered at the changed demon. The mindscape gamble had payed off, which took a load off the Glacial Master's shoulder.

"Right... April said, grasping Jolokia's arm and lifting the green-haired female onto the spaceship she had just dumped inside the hangar. It was, naturally, the Vimana, and using this, the white-haired girl planned to make the most dramatic entrance possible. Not waiting to check if her passenger was even on safely, she seated herself on the throne and switched to dogfight mode, rocketing out of the hangar and down towards Gotham.
The only clue anything was coming was a glint of light, then the ancient spaceship left Low Earth Orbit entirely and dived straight for the largest area of open space in the entire city: the harbour. Still, it seemed certain--at least to Jolokia, most likely--that they were going to crash... and then the Vimana levelled off, rocketing along inches above the surface and sending a huge wave crashing ashore with its passing, drenching one robot and his targets.
April was vaguely aware of something jumping off the back of the golden ship, and braked to hover above the scene. One robot, freezing and tossing away boulders thrown by... that girl from Avatar? At least she knew which side was most likely to be the good guys.
Tentatively, one golden sword was shot at the robot. Jolokia could present a more serious challenge for now.
Rain blinked and wondered how she was going to get out, now that her sister was gone. "Umm... how do we get down?"

Jenny straddled the bike, slipped the GPS she was still holding into a convenient cradle above the instrument cluster, and pulled on the gloves, leaving the helmet for the moment. The fact they fitted seemed to confirm it was meant for her.
"Um... does anyone know a way I can get this down there without jumping?"

Two more bone-spikes appeared in the same fashion, before all four returned to the ground. Assuming no one was damaged by the spikes, they began shooting out of the ground randomly, although they always came up extremely close to Nightwing and Joe.
Griga, about to let his fins loose, stopped when the now electricity-resistant Flanker put his weapon next to his throat.
"I must commend your armor's designer, human." Griga growled, "It is a pity that Dai-Shocker lost it to a person to such an unexceptional member of your species."
Falkon pulled his sword out of the doctor's stomach. "Idiot." He said.

Moerin and Anise - SPACE BATTLESHIP IWASHI
"Don't mention it," muttered Anise, trying her best to suppress smiling. She was still in a bad mood, of course, but this almost made up for it. "...That is a good question, Rain..."
"Take the Dimensional Gate, of course!" Moerin shouted, as she backed off towards the hanger doors. "And don't bother with the mechs for now, Val! Leave it here with Mazinger so we can cart them out when we really need them!" Soon enough, she stood right in front of the open doors, her hair tossing in the wind. "Anyways, I'd love to stay and chat, but we've got a world to save, an evil organization to thwart and bad guys to fight! See y'all later, ahah~!" With that, she took a final step backwards, leapt out of the Iwashi, and began plummeting towards Gotham from near-orbit.
...It was when she was about halfway down that she began to question how smart a move this was.
"...Okay Moerin, you're plummeting at near-terminal velocity. Not exactly your best move... What to do..." she murmured calmly to herself, trying to figure out how to salvage this admittedly rather dumb move. "Guess I could try and cushion the fall, slow myself down... Um... Oh hey, I know!"
The spacediving catgirl cupped her hands by her side. "Ne... Ko... Ha... Me..." A ball of glowing blue energy appeared in her palms as she chanted, crackling with power.
"...HAAAAAAAAAAAA!" With a yell, she thrust her palms towards the ground, and a crackling pillar of energy sped down to the streets below her, impacting nearby a certain bank. With her fall cushioned, Moerin quickly made it to the ground, leaping off gracefully beside... What looked like an ongoing battle...
"...That was all totally planned from the beginning," she said, "and if anyone says otherwise they're a liar!" At this point, she actually took the opportunity to survey the battlefield, and... "Welp, at least I know who the bad guy is! Composite Superman, right? Think I can take him... Hahah, with the fire that's been lit inside me, I can't be beat!" Taking on a fighting stance, the catgirl readied herself for combat, with only one thought in her head...
This is going to be so cool!
Jolokia - Gotham, atop the Vimana
"Ooh, that guy looks strong!" Jolokia squealed as the Vimana closed in on Amazo. Already, she had projected Save The Queen, and held it in her left hand whilst her right clutched Dr. Swordopolis. "Can we fight him, June? Can we can we can we?"
Taking April's attack on the android as a yes, the Kensei lept off the ancient Babylonian starfighter with swords in hand. Her natural swiftness coupled with the boost she got from the Vimana's flightspeed made sure her jump made the distance, and she brought her swords crashing down towards Amazo's back.
"BANZAI! Jolokia time!"

"OK, here goes nothing then."
Wait... do I even know how to use one of these? Jenny wondered to herself as she slipped the helmet on. Again, it was a perfect fit. I guess there's more important things to worry about.
With that, she started the bike's hydrogen-powered engine, and gunned it towards the gate.
The bike shot out the other side of the portal on a rooftop somewhere in the city, leaving a trail of purple flames behind it.
"Huh. That wasn't quite what I was expecting."
Reaching forward, she switched the GPS into locator mode, and decided to see what blips were closest.

With the eruption of the bone spikes, Joe was faced with an unpleasant reality. Nobody else was showing up to help, which meant... Joe would have to be the one to fight, and not just support others.
Oh right, bone spikes and lightning. The Newb Lantern brushed bone fragments off his shoulder, as a swarm of bone saws swirled around living up to their namesake. That wasn't the ridiculous use of power.
"I have discovered electricity! Make sure they get my good side when they put me on the One Hundred Dollar Bill." Construct Bejamin Franklin had intercepted the lightning with his kite and key rig. That wasn't the ridiculous use of power.
Joe floated construct Authentic X-Ray Glasses in front of his helmet as he flew higher and looked down for what was shooting spikes up from the street. Okay, that's just silly.
"I seem to have this problem, Mr. Composite. Defense comes naturally, a problem presents itself and it is the easiest thing in the world to help myself and others survive. Offense on the other hand... So many possibilities, all feeling lacking because we are dealing with world ending superbeings. I could construct Godzilla and what would it really accomplish?"
The mangled Joe Construct rises to it's feet, simulated wounds filling as it faces Superbat, hand held open in front of it's own helmet.
"I may be over thinking things, or I may falling victim to some stupid hypocrisy. Here I am, telling Fusion not to give up without trying, but where are my efforts? I know this won't hurt you, might not even be enough to displease you. But every fight, even a Lantern's can't end without throwing a punch."
The Joe construct's fingers flare a brighter green, writing appearing across the fingers of it's outstretched hand. 9, 9, 9, 9. And across the thumb a simple four letter word.
"So here is my first punch, I'll figure out the rest of them as I go along."
The Joe Construct rushes in for an uppercut, final word blazing bright across the thumb of it's fist.
Tons.
It was a start, at least. In this long-running struggle that possessed beings of casual world ending power, Joe would have to start out merely scratching the paint job.

Ciarán barely had time to speak before he was dropped off at the Bank.
"I am so getting Notkara arrested for kidnapping a minor. Heh, I'm a minor miner." he joked, looking at the pickaxe.
Taking his surroundings, he looked at the Gothic Gotham architecture, raised an eyebrow at the destruction, dropped a jaw at the Time Train and nearly shat his pants at the sight of Doomsday.
Brain quickly working things out, he flat out sprinted towards the Time Train. It was faster than he was used to, a fact he put down adrenaline, and not that his new power set allowed him to sprint at 21 kilometers per hour, or half a Usain Bolt.
Reaching the Time Train, he began pounding at what appeared to be a door.
"LETMEINLETMEINLETMEINOHFUCKLETMEINFUCKLINKARALETMEINWHATTHEHELLISTHATLETMEINPLEASE!"

Doomsday at the Bank
Nobody opened the door of the time train for Ciarán to get in... mostly because there was no one inside. Doomsday appeared to be attacking random buildings, but upon closer inspection, he was actually chasing after Alicia, who was skating in a frozen trail she was creating in front of her. Batman was following her, throwing some of his explosives at Doomsday.
"I shouldn't be doing this!" Alicia yelled, dodging another chunk of a building Doomsday threw at them. "I'm pregnant!"
"Find a place to hide! I'll take care of it." Batman yelled back, throwing a flashbang that temporarily blinded the creature.

Composite Superman at the Police Station
Except Composite Superman didn't wait until Joe finished his speech. Once the Lantern had finished creating his construct's powerful punch, Composite Superman was already collecting huge amounts of metal in his hand, combining them with another powerful lightning blast. However, the construct's punch sent him flying into the destroyed police station, which made him release the beam of lightning followed by a stream of metal spikes at the sky, which could attract the attention of a Brotherhood member in a motorcycle.
Nightwing landed right besides Moerin, pulling out his Eskrima truncheons and glancing at the girl. "What are you doing here?" He said. "Are you the one responsible for... whatever that was? If you're not, listen, we appreciate the help, but right now, you need to hide."
---------------------------------
Amazo at the Harbor
The robot easily noticed the attacks coming from both newcomers (partly thanks to the wave), quickly saying "Fire". The robot suddenly transformed into a humanoid being made out of green fire, and April's sword flew right past him, while Jolokia's attacks simply made the flames swirl.
The flame being flew out of their ranges, turning back into Amazo as he spoke "Red Tornado". "Watch out!" Toph yelled, drenched from the wave, but still holding on to Knight in case he needed help. "Don't get near him! He can copy your--"
But her voice was drowned out by the sounds of a powerful windstorm flowing as literal red tornados began to appear all around the harbor, causing small waves and ripping lampposts, benches and anything else from the ground. As time progressed, the tornados got stronger and stronger, and eventually they would have the strength to lift someone from the ground. Amazo stood at the middle of the winds, protected by an even stronger tornado that covered him.
-------------------------------------
The Sewers of Amestris
"Wait!" Ty Lee yelled. "Don't hurt him! We need to get to Daishuryou, right? Let's make him lead us to him. That way, we can stop him before he tries to do anything. And if Griga tries to escape, Flanker can hold him back."
However, Ling was now focusing on something else. Fuu, his other bodyguard, had been badly injured by the explosion, and was now lying on the ground, groaning. Lan Fan, still suffering from the effects of Griga's attack, got out of Ling's grasp and stumbled towards him. "Do any of you know any kind of medicinal alchemy?!" Ling yelled to the group as he knelt besides Fuu.

Joseph started in amazement at Gotham, as his jaw slowly dropped. Man, Joseph all ways thought Gotham was impressive, but to it see as a real, living breathing city was just a completely different experience to seeing it drawn on a comic book page.
Sadly before Joseph had to really taking the sights in, he spotted Doomsday. The guy that killed Superman and this was the first guy he was going to fight, well now everything was just peachy.

Near The First Bank Of Gotham
"OHGODLETMEINPLEASEIDONTWANNADIE!" he cried as he kept pounding on the supposed door. Spotting movement out of the corner of his eye, he turned, seeing Doomsday attacking random buildings. And at the Alicia's declaration of her pregnancy, he spotted her and Batman.
Wiping away the tears (he didn't usually cry this much, it was a bad day), something clicked in his mind.
Diamond. Not fully, so I should have some leeway. Pick should be good enough. Maybe he was right. Maybe I am here for a reason. Let's mine this fucker.
He ran, sprinting directly towards Doomsday, not thinking it through at all, and swung his diamond pickaxe wildly at Doomsday's back.

Joe, Police Station (If only to remind myself, I already found myself typing bank)
"If she's making Dynamic entrances and adding claims of taking this guy out, I'd say let her try." So, it appeared catgirls DID just fall from the sky. Of course, so would shards of metal... Unless they hit escape velocity from the composite's blast.
"Be mindful of terminal velocity metal shards in a bit. Or this Superbat throwing the remains of the police station at us. You know, the usual."

For exactly one second, Knight allowed himself to wonder what it was precisely with him and getting horribly injured. Then it passed, and he found himself back in realspace, a remotely detached observer hitchhiking in his own corpse. Being horribly injured, as per usual.
The events played out like an old, dreary, predictable play. The lancing blast of light hit him in the chest. The dull shock jarred his ribs, before intensifying and rippling out to fill his entire body with a brilliant burst of good, old undiluted agony. He flew backwards, hit the ground with a crack that cheerily announced the shattering of yet another bone, and his suit disappeared in a flash of red light, leaving him on all fours in his civilian clothing.
Oh, and some girl fell from the sky with a sword. All in good time.
Knight gasped and coughed up a slurry of green fluid. For several seconds, he remained silent, breathing heavily as his not-blood trickled down his chin and mouth - then he shoved Toph’s concerned hand off his back and forced himself to his feet, left shoulder twisted at a painful-looking angle.
His eyes were alive, burning with a turmoil of released emotion as they stared at the ground. Half in deep-set, aching pain... the other in searing, furious anger.
Anger at the world, at all the worlds, for using him as another plaything to be tossed around at a whim. Anger at the android in front of him for making him feel useless, for treating him like all the others had treated him - like nothing but a bug, waiting to be crushed underfoot. Kaixa. Griga. Decade. All of them. Anger at himself, for wasting all his life in search of something that he hadn’t found, for dying, for being so pathetic, for wallowing in his own grief, for losing everything...
And out of nowhere, Rio’s voice echoed in his head. “Don’t you understand now, boy?”
“Anger. Envy. Hatred. Whether it be your own, or that of others, you cannot reach your goal without learning to feel. Channel it. Use it. Break the back of your complacency. Even if only for now... whether for a noble cause, or an ignoble one...”
“Grow a spine. The anger within you, the despair... use it all. That... is the Confrontation Beast Fist!”
Knight looked up. His right hand formed into a claw, and his irises flashed over with purple fire.
"...Confrontation Beast Chameleon-Fist Ringi: Mugen Reppa." (Infinite Violent Waves) Eyes flickering, the green outline of a chameleon curled around him. Its silver, razor-sharp tongue darted in and out with astounding speed, piercing his body at innumerable pressure points in a blur of rippling motion - then it disappeared, leaving nothing but the multiple, leaking puncture wounds as a sign of its presence.
A last-resort technique. By unlocking all the acupoints in his body, he would be able to push it to the limit... but the strain would destroy his cells, millions at a time, until he either collapsed or disintegrated from the effort.
He knew. It didn’t matter.
The winds began to pick up. Standing firm, he willed his Confrontation Ki to flare, feeling the burst of energy and pain fill his entire body as the violet fire roared out from his wounds, consuming his anger, his despair, his emotions...
And then he walked into the tornadoes, surrounded by a swirling inferno of energy that kept the vortexes at bay.
"Confrontation Beast Mantis-Fist Ringi: Mantisu Senkozan!" (Mantis Flashing Cut) The scything claw of a giant mantis formed around his right hand - then he flashed forwards, shooting towards Amazo in a blur of purple-black and aiming the glowing appendage across his chest. The flames concentrated around him and released through his hand, channeling straight in the android’s direction in a burst of power far more destructive than even the Final Wave attack he had used before.
At point-blank range.

Well, that's certainly flashy.
Jenny gunned the bike again, heading for the battle, before jumping it off the roof and down towards everything happening at street level.
Except she realised about half a second too late that she'd just given everyone on the ground a rather good look up her skirt.
