No Manhunter Escapes!
So. Heather had woken up today and worked on some of her sculptures. In the time since, she'd been changed into rock candy by a purple light, been nearly captured by alien robots, rescued by a girl with magic powers, told by Papa Smurf that she was the host to something called the "Predator", hauled off to an alien planet to watch the Justice League fight a bunch of Green Lanterns alongside a guy who was yellow and had fangs and a crazy Amazonian woman, met two more people with light things inside them, been told that the evil alien robots had a couple people like them and that the alien robots were working for the guy who'd destroyed Coast City, and was now floating in a bubble generated by a Green Lantern with the others like her, with other Green Lanterns, the Justice League, and a handful of Blue Lanterns, which she didn't even know existed before today.

Yeah.

She was gonna need a lot of therapy to get over this one.

	Avia flipped over a Manhunter, kicking it squarely where its neck met its head, snapping it just enough to ruin it's aim. She pushed off and landed back on her aero-disks. "On it! Let's boom, babies!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Petra swings a glowing ~~green~~ ice fist in a circle, taking off a pair of Manhunters heads. "Always!" She rockets towards her comrades. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alina drops to intercept the Manhunter chasing the Indigo kid, sweat pouring off of her as she simply casts whatever spell happen to come to her fingertips. There's queasiness in her gut to go with the pounding in her head, and it's a good thing she's flying because her legs feel like noodles. But what's she going to do, call a time-out in the middle of battle? Right.

She needs to keep pushing through it. She'll just...stay away from the others so the Manhunters take the full brunt of her side-effects too.

	Saishu is lost in the sheer thrill of battle. She doesn't need to hold back, and the pain from the return attacks just pushes her harder. If these things have what it takes to bring her down, so be it. Until then, she will continue to aggressively scrap as many of them as come her way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The fight against the Manhunters is going well, from a certain perspective. More and more are getting destroyed. But there are many of them still coming. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henshaw made himself a missile, flying directly at Superboy. "Perhaps," he mused, "I shall delay destroying emotion just long enough for your father to feel despair!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Unlucky for you, then, you have to deal with me first." Jon answers, picking up more and more speed as he heads directly back at Henshaw. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon has played this game before a few times. This time, he ducks out of his flight path at the last moment, trying to streak past just under Henshaw and aim a blast of heat vision at the back of his neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The heat vision scoured Henshaw's neck, but the metal of his body was tough, the cloned Kryptonian DNA tougher. It hurt, but not for long. He spun, and fired a blast of his own heat vision at Jon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Planetside first_son 2011-12-04 05:26 am UTC (link)
	Jon takes the blast in a grazing blow, scored across a shoulder, but already moving to engage up close with Henshaw as he's turning about, swinging hard. "Your troops are falling, your compound won't hold long. You have to realize you've as good as lost, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Planetside lantern_rogues 2011-12-08 01:55 am UTC (link)
	The blow rocked Henshaw back, but he "stood" his ground. "A temporary setback," he growled. "I will kill the Lights and emotion." He fired another blast, but seemingly not at Jon this time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Heather had just driven another crystal spike through a Manhunter, almost worrying at just how good she was getting at this when she felt an intense blast of heat strike her lower back.

She cried out, very nearly falling from the sky.

"Wha..."

It wasn't... it was pain... but not pain as she'd known before...

She looked down. A perfect hole was drilled through her stomach, letting her see right through it, the edges warm to the touch.

Harry's head snaps to the side when he hears a cry and sees the blue figure fall. Shoot! He can't do anything to help with fighting but he'll try and get her out of there.

Doing his best to control his newfound flight, he dives towards her to try and drag her out of the line of fire.

What was her name? Oh yes, Heather! "Are you..." He trails off when he notices the giant hole straight through her and he can't help but stare for a moments before he regains his senses. "Let's move!"

Pulling her along as best he can he behind the line of fighting Green and Blue Lanterns, out of the way and hoping one of them can do something. He's trying to keep the panic at bay.

"No!"

Jon rushes ahead. On one hand, Henshaw has kept up with his father, and then some. Jon is nearly at his dad's power level, and growing... but has nowhere near the experience.

On the other hand, taking attention off him and getting him mad might still not be in Henshaw's best interests. Jon rushes forward, swinging rights and lefts, aiming for Henshaw's head, knowing he hit the neck joint before.

"We're putting a stop to this, now!"

	The blows connected, hammering Henshaw's body. One blow snapped his head around, snapping off his mechanical jaw, twisting his head at an odd angle. He peppered Jon with eyeblasts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

At least now he's fighting Jon. Its something. And thanks to Henshaw's sucker blast, Jon even got in a good punch. He keeps in close, weathering the eyeblasts, though with intense pain, in order to keep hammering lefts and rights at super speed, forcing himself to keep fighting, keep Henshaw off the others, while trying to take advantage of the damage already done to the head and neck... a horrible, desperate thought occurring to him.

	Under Jon's righteous fury and speed, Henshaw was sorely pressed to keep up, returning fewer and fewer blows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jon is tiring. He's hurt, he's exhausted, he's taken big hits, and while at a disadvantage regardless, it would be far worse, possibly giving him no chance, had he not taken advantage of Henshaw's ego - and resulting tactical mistake, targeting Heather instead of him.

All or nothing time. He puts all his remaining solar power enhancement into one big punch, wearing himself out utterly to launch one thunderous punch, trying to take advantage of all his focus, and the earlier precision shot to the back of the neck - an uppercut, specifically, trying to separate Henshaw's head from his body.

Hit or miss, sink or swim, after the punch, he ends up tumbling end over end to crash to the ground, breathing hard.

	There was a sickening crack as Henshaw's head separated from his body, flying high into possible orbit around the planet, even as his body began to plummet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heather was amazed the hole in her stomach didn't hurt that much. Her fingers gently probed the edges. "I... how...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
