Into the Dark
The security guard led the Titans into what looked like a conference room. When inside, he removed a cigarette and lit it up.

"First off, thanks for coming. Second, you're not going to like how little I can actually tell you. Before you fly off the handle it's because I literally don't know, not because of confidentiality crap."

	Dinah frowned. "We can help you. Find somewhere you can grow on your own. But you have to let us. We can't let you hurt these people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kardiak may have heard Dinah's words, but it became focused on Jay's. "Stop? To stop means to end. We will not end! We will live!" The creature roars and races at the Titans. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait was ready and sent the spheres toward the thing. They elongated and turned into ice spears. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dammit..." Dinah hissed under her breath, firing her white noise cannons at the thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jay sees the start of the charge, and goes rushing right back at it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth had been trying to get somewhere on the inherent worth and dignity of all sentient beings, and she doesn't blame Jay, but this is so frustrating. She backs him up (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The icicles pierced the monster's hide, but this one was clearly made of sterner stuff than the previous converted-humans as it powered through, clashing with Jay and Ruth. The noises cannons were somewhat disorienting to the monster, slowly its reaction time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The small pierces were all that Cait needed. She changed the ice into water and forced it into the creature. It gathered in the middle of the creature and then Cait exploded the water outward in all directions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The creature exploded from the inside as the water forced it's way out. The remains of the creature fell to the floor, motionless. Kardiak itself began to shift, its "heartbeat" louder and faster than before. The floor beneath it began to tear up as metal tubing began to force its way out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jay takes some hits and gives some - that's part of his job with the team, after all. The sudden explosions at very close range are a lot more of a surprise, sending him stumbling back trying to clear his vision of blood and ice chips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah quickly morphed her arms into shields, large and wide, to help protect herself and her teammates. The rumblings though, and the floor? "Oh... that's not good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Giant aorta-looking metal appendages emerge from the ground as the giant "heart" begins to hover under its own power, tentacles writhing. One of the appendages seems to change into some form of reverse cone shape. A sudden torrent of flame shoots out of it at the Titans. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2012-09-14 03:04 pm UTC (link)
	Jay dives under the flames, still taking a portion of it - but within his invulnerability's limits. Rather than away, he continues to head towards, swinging a fist at one of the tentacles, testing just how strong the metal plating is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2012-09-14 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Holy heart attack, Batman!" Dinah yelled. She took the point, blocking what flames she could with Scarab generated shield arms. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait threw up an ice shield to protect her teammates. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley intensifies his forcefield and puts himself in front of his teammates, deflecting much of the blast away from them and back at the device/organism. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Better part of valor, etc., Ruth doesn't follow Jay immediately but ducks behind the shields. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jay's blows dented the metal tentacles, enough to cause Kardiak to retract them in concern. The force-fields had also surprised it, particularly when its flame was redirected at it. Despite its new-found sentience, Kardiak still retained a strong animal-like instinct. Fighting wasn't working, so it was time for flight. Karidak whipped its tentacles against the walls, desperately trying to make a hole large enough to escape through.

	Dinah quickly turned her shields into a tractor beam gun. "Oh no you don't...!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-09-15 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	Cait tried to form as much ice as she could around the thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2012-09-15 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	Without the range or versatility of some, but tons of chaos-driven combat instinct, Jay grabs for one of the tentacles, trying to get a grip with one hand so he can keep hammering at it with the other. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_baddie 2012-09-16 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	Karidak thrashed angrily as Dinah's tractor beam pulled it back and Cait's ice covered it, slowing its movements. Kardiak shuddered as Jay wailed on its tendril, so Kardiak suddenly detached the tentacle, sacrificing it while the torch-tendril came up again, firing at both the ice and the Titans.

	Riley cuts sharply to one side, putting him and his forcefield in the way again. Thank you, Dad and Coach Raymond, for all the running drills. "I can keep this up for a while --ow, felt that one--" Riley and his forcefield bounce slightly. "--but if anyone has any other suggestions...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2012-09-18 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	The attack took Dinah by surprise, causing her tractor beam to fail. "Damn... Still no EM charge..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2012-09-19 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Jay really wasn't expecting that - so he ends up slamming on his back, writhing mass of limb crashing down with him - which he has no choice but to use as a bit of a shield from the flame blast. He still ends up singed, but it could have been worse. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
