Ali heard Raina's request and as soon as the temperature started to drop Ali was already keeping everyone's body temperature at a comfortable level. She watched for a moment as Raina used her power to creat an ice shield before turning to the others.

"Alright, time to go everyone." Just as Ali was looking over the remainder of the group she spotted a figure getting ready to try to enter through one of the windows. She didn't want to hurt anyone but she couldn't let anyone get captured or hurt either. Ali blasted the figure with a stream of hot air as if it had come from a jet engine. The figure fell backwards and landed in the bushes below.

At the first sound of a window being smashed, Neena turned her head sharply. She blinked, switching visions.

Other than the uniformed men entering the Mansion, she could see those still outside, as well as some rather large-looking bots mingled in with them. Her eyes narrowed, and she tensed. As Raina and Shield took charge, she turned a complete circle in the center of the room.

The entire estate had erupted in chaos. Teens and youngsters were being treated as dangerous criminals, uprooted and hauled off from their home. She had no doubt this was a twisted, nightmarish version of deja vu for many of the residents who had already been rejected by society once, or many times, before. The Mansion was supposed to be a safe place, a place to escape from the prejudice of World Society.

Neena clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms

An almost haunting sound filled the room. A slight shiver wriggled through Neena before Ali regulated her body temperature. The melody was coming from Raina, and it was calling water and ice.

<“No wonder she’s a chanter. Beautiful....”>

"Alright, time to go everyone." Neena glanced at Ali for split second before turning on her heel. The living room had another entrance/exit that led to the kitchen. From there the group could get to the hallway, and from there to the Danger Room. She grabbed Ali’s arm.

”Ali, there’s a bunker in the floor of the Danger Room. Try to get everyone there and inside. It should be safe, for a while.” She wasn’t sure if holing up was the greatest of ideas, but at least the Danger Room had defenses made to stand up to uncontrolled mutant powers. It should be able to hold off normal humans, even well-armed ones.

The robots were a different matter.... Knowing Shield could take the blow as one of the giant machines appeared, Neena didn't stick around to watch. She tried to pull Ali along with her.

”Come on!” She headed for the kitchen, hoping the others would follow. Her xray vision was still active in one eye, and before entering the area she saw three uniformed men approaching from around the corner; she didn’t take the time to figure out which uniforms. Her hurried pace broke into a full-out sprint. She dove for the floor, like a baseball player sliding for home plate. Taken off-guard, all three men fell in a heap, pinning her under them partially.

Neena was not a combat specialist by any means. When it came to fighting she used what was at her disposal. In this case, the only weapon she had available were completely organic. She clamped down with her teeth on the nearest appendage she could reach, as hard as possible. Natural human reactions overrode combat trainning, and the man jerked his hand out of her grasp and pulled away. That move freed her arm, which she brought up and out in a right hook to the mans jaw. Another jerk away free her other arm. She reached back with both arms for one of the kitchen chairs, and aimed to bring it down on anyone still on top of her.

Detachedly, she wished at that moment that she was able to feel an adrenaline rush. It would have given her attack a bit more ‘push’, which would have proved rather useful.

James watched as shield was knocked past him, James knew the kid would be fine, but the others would not fair so well if hit with the same force. He grabbed his overcoat and threw it to the side, revealing his suit and weaponry, on it was numerous packs of C4, two knives, an M9 tranquilizer pistol, a SOCOM pistol, and other various packs of ammo and equipment. James watched as a group of mutants ran back through the kitchen.

Reaching onto his vest he pulled off a chaff grenade and threw it to the ground, as it exploded a flurry of thin sheets of aluminum flew up, confusing any electronic sensors. Kiljoy fell back in the confusion, towards the kitchen, as he left he withdrew his M9 tranquilizer and fired two darts at Raina, if they hit they would knock her out quickly. Kiljoy ran into the kitchen, he had his own plan, in the confusion in the kitchen James ran towards the steps, trying to avoid the kitchen battle.

The robot hit Michael too fast for him to focus and become immovable, instead he was knocked flying. He was gaining his feet when he saw the new psychology teach throw off his coat revealing various weapons. The man first threw some sort of grenade at the Stalkers, but then fire on Raina before heading towards the kitchen where most of the others had gone.

While Michael wanted to pursue and take him down before he tried to hurt anyone else, there was a bigger problem. Gripping the sword he charged at the man of humans and robots that were pouring in. Bullets hit him, but he ignored them. Swinging the sword he slashed out at the men who, now seeing that they couldn’t hurt him, fell back to let the robots attack him.

However this time he was ready. He knew that with just a sword he had little hope against them, but if he could hold them here for a while Raina and Neena might be able to get at least a few of them away. As the Stalkers came forward he focused, ready to make himself immovable when they attacked. This time they wouldn’t brush him aside so easily.

It was then that Raina spotted something... no someone familiar out of the corner of her eye. She turned to see if it really was who she thought it was, and as she did two tranq darts smashed into her ice shield. Something earlier had already cracked it, so it fell to pieces on the floor along with the two darts that were stuck in the ice. Her eyes searched the people who were chaotically moving. Could it be? It couldn't.... a wellspring of guilt formed in her stomach. The slight flash of his hair was what had caught her attention, and it caused her to move at the right time to accidently miss the darts. But everything seemed frozen again for a moment, and all at once Raina felt in over her head. Then she heard the children screaming.

She reached for her right leg in which she had her tritant- the one she'd brought with her when she first came, the one she thought was useless. She pressed the center and it extended to it's full length. Raina may not be able to use her ability for long, or very strongly... but she had skills from her tribe that she could put to use.

Charging into the frenzie again she spotted Ali and Neena. "Good one Ali!" she called out- so proud the woman only fired hot air, and beaming with pride at her ability to keep the mutant's body temperature regulated. As long as Ali was here in the building, Raina could draw on more of her power.

It was then that the stuff nightmares were made out of, grabbed her by the hair. Some sort of robot had her hair and Rana withered in pain as it pulled her up off the ground.

"Surrender to registration, Mutant" came it's monotone voice. Raina jabbed her tritant into the center of the thing and flipped herself upside down and over behind it- puling her hair out in clumps in the process. She landed behind it and went to kick it over but it caught her foot.

"The robots are dangerous!" she yelled out. "Don't underestimate them!" she twisted herself free of the death grip but it caught her by the other leg this time and Raina went down hard. For a moment she saw nothing by stars and she could taste her own blood in her mouth having bit down on her tongue with force. It started to drag her, but Raina started to sing.

She sang up ice again and the machine slipped, then she concentrated very hard on the fluids that would be moving through the machine. Bit by bit the creature became imobile and she was able to break her leg free. She had a bloody face, and for sure she was bruised. Her throat was aching so badley, and she knew she couldn't freeze another robot like that.

She got to her feet quickly and tried to pull the tritant out of the thing but she wasn't strong enough. Standing admist the chaos- she saw him again.

It was Rupert.

Her body filled with dread.

ooc: Raina will avoid capture for a little bit until I get a few things done, but she will be captured in the end. If you're a baddie and you want to do a specific post capturing her, PM me and we'll come up with something cool.

((syn pmed me and said this was okay]

Both Lupin girls where taken aback by the sudden attack from the robot that seemingly came out of nowhere. The sisters struggled, gasping for air.

Emerald focussed her energy on the fire sprinklers on the celings, making them burst open in a torrent of water. The water drenched the entire halway including everyone in it.

That was where Ruby came in The fox girl attempt to shock the Robot that held onto them without shocking her sister in the process. She was controlling her abilities the best she could but if she messed up it was possible that Emerald would go unconciess and it would be all over for her.

Luckily the fox girl managed to control her powers enough and paralyzed the robot, causing it to fritz and frizzle. The Robot realesed the sisters, giving them enough time to regain thier footing and then run for thier lives.

Emerald held Ruby by the hand as they ran. Thats when they eventually came upon Rupert. The wolf girl snarled at him.

"This is your doing!" She exclaimed, shifting into her wolf form. She stalked around him, growling wildly.

Ruby attempted to calm her sister down but whimpering and trying to hold her back but to no avail.

"Emmy dont! I dont want you to get hurt." Ruby exclaimed. "Im sure its not the cops fault.!"

But her sister wasnt listening as her jowels got closer to Ruperts ankle.

Ben heard the commotion going on..but when he heard the Shkkkk sounds again...he turned a moment to late as a stalker droid appeared in front of ben and whammed him through the skylight in the roof...And landed in through the roof of the next level of the academy.

Ben landed with an OOF as he hit the floor of the second level.. Ben struggled to stand up..his back was now acheing..he had taken a hard blow from falling through the roof. Ben finnaly stood up and growled from the pain...and he pretended that the cold steel at his back wasent the barrel of a AK-47 automatic rifle..mainly handeld by nypd and swat...but then again ben wasent doing so good on luck today.

"P-p-put your hands in the air a-and d dont move!" The cop sputtered as he shakly held the gun...apparently he seemed afraid for some reason. Ben put his hands in the air and turned around slowly...no wonder he was scared..this cop..this kid was no older than 18 or 19..and they must have told him some nasty things about mutants..because he was shakeing in his boots.

"I-i-i-said dont move!" The cop said as he lifted up his rifle. "I know i know..." Ben said with a smile on his face..in a moment he pushed a ghust of air and sent the cop falling through the hole that ben had crashed through. "Well well one down and millions more to..." Ben turned and ran off as walked as he could ((Wich wasent fast at all)) as one of the stalker droids came out from the holes and chased ben. He would have ran if his back hadent still been hurtin so bad from his fall.

((There fixed the post im sorry for the mistakes i keep makeing))

Naomi was slightely confused with the lights going on and off. The reason she was so scared, was because she was actually afriad of the dark. Alittle sad really for a grown woman, but it was true. A phobia that had devolped for good reason in her youth. Notonly that, she had just entered the school, and this was technically her first night sleeping here.

Of course as luck would have it, her first night would be the night the mansion was attacked.

Glass shattered, and Naomi let out a scream, though it was mostely muffled by all the load noises. Shield pealed himself from her grip to defend the doorway. As much as she wanted to cling to him, she admired him for being so brave. So she comprimized, and took hold of the next closest person, Nicki.

The boys seemed to rush in front of the girls, and Raina stood in front defensively. Naomi couldn't even figure out what was happening. She was scared and confused. All she could do was clutch Nicki's arm.

Despite everyone telling her to run, she couldn't do it. She could only watch as large men filed into the room, weapons drawn and yelling loadly at them


"Get on the ground! We'll shoot!"

Naomi closed her eyes tight, hopeing and wishing that all of this would just go away. That the men would take what they want and leave without anything bad happening. Then, she felt a cold chill, and something cold and wet around her feet. She still refused to open her eyes for a few seconds. When she opened them, The man had recoiled back, some where on a now very cold and slippery floor, and Raina was defending them with a frosty shield.

Seeing everyones leadership seemed to slap some sense into her. Sitting there wasn't going to accomplish much. If they didn't run or fight, they were going to get hurt.

Naomi tried to push aside the fact she was in a life threatening situation. She tried to push aside the fear in her mind, so that she could see the situation clearly. Seeing the men who fell, she decided to kep them down. She waved her hand across them, and increased the density of their vests... effectively standing them on their back like upside-down turtles. She then turned her attention to the men with larger weapons (Shotsguns, and riffles) and increased their density aswell so that they fell to the floor.

At the time it was a good way to disarm them, but when an M16 hit the floor and began shooting off wildly in all directions, things changed very quickly. Naomi screamed, yet again, and dove behind a nearby couch. A few stray bullets managed to hit four officers in the legs and feet, while a couple ricochets off of Shield.

She just hoped her little stunt didn't hurt anyone too much. She still needed to find a way out of here and try to get the others out too.

Nicki barely had a moment to be relieved over seeing Nika before she ran to the rest of the group and synched up with the clique. People were coming in from what seemed like all directions, thoughts were flying at her so quickly that she was afraid for a moment that she was going to get overloaded, which would be terrible at this particular moment. Nicki struggled to focus on containing herself until she heard Raina start to chant. Nicki could concentrate on Raina rather well ever since the whole Iris thing so Raina quickly helped Nicki anchor.

Nicki started fending off blows the best she could, thankful that Kaz had taught her as much as he had. She finally was able to actually hold herself in a fight. That didn't mean that she was avoiding any contact with the cops. Nicki hadn't ever taken a serious punch in her life and those were coming at her rather frequently at the moment. She was suddenly afraid: afraid of what these people where going to do, and who they were going to hurt.

Nicki suddenly felt the enormous amount of dread on Raina's shoulders. Raina knew one of the attackers and more so than that, she was afraid of him. Nicki tried to focus on who, tried to get a grip but so much was going on she couldn't really get it all together. Nicki kelt up the best she could; she still tried to stay connected to Raina the best she could, deciding it was better to have a terrified tether than no tether.

((ooc: Emerald, Raina, and I have a little something planned out for our charas. Just so everyone knows. ))

It would figure that at this moment, as he rushed through the Mansion halls with a tranq gun clasped between his hands, that his thoughts would be with Raina. Her hauntingly beautiful voice seemed to fill his ears, and guide his feet. All other sounds faded to the background. It was a song of beauty, and protection—he dodged around pockets of chaos, moving forwards, letting that phantom song lead him. Maybe even protect him. He passed through the fights that were breaking out all around him, unscathed.

Her song stopped. Rupert stopped with it. A snarl sounded to his left.

"This is your doing!" Emerald Lupin accused.

Rupert opened his mouth, then closed it. His jaw tightened as the girl shifted into her wolf form. He’d never actually seen it. It was larger than he’d been expecting. Black. Red highlights shimmered in its fur, and in its raised hackles, with each angrily measured step it took. He turned in a slow shadowing circle as it paced him, keeping his gun aimed half-way between the floor and the mutant. He didn’t care for this sudden feeling of being on the losing end of a nature documentary. He could feel her growls strumming through his chest like low bass notes. The scar on his lung began to ache. Every muscle in his body tensed. He was helping this freak again, why?

"Emmy don’t! I don’t want you to get hurt." A young girl with fox ears burst out, her voice innocent, and pleading. "I’m sure it’s not the cops fault!" Rupert’s gaze flicked to her for the briefest moment. Ah. That was why. One of the reasons, anyway.

When his eyes flicked back, he found the wolf a little too close for comfort. Time to end this. Rupert readied himself. “Believe me or not,” he stated levelly, “this is for your own good.”

In a sudden jerk, he raised the tranquilizer gun, and fired.

"Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap!" Ben yelled as he ran down the halls at almost a full run..his back still stinging from the pain of his fall....but the stalker driod chaseing him called its buddies..and now ben had three of those fracking droids chaseing him. Ben turned around and thrust his hands forward...sending a strong ghust of air at them..but they simply dug there arms and legs into the floor..thus affectively holding them down.

Ben gave up his attempt to blow the droids over and turned once again and ran "WHY"D They have to make these droids so friggen smart!?" Ben said as he rounded a corner...and yet another stalker droid who was chaseing another mutant turned its attention to ben and cut him off...with three behind and one in front...ben had only one option..and he reaaaalllyy dident want to use it.

Ben pushed both of his hands at the floor and concentrated as much wind into the ground as he could...wich affectively blew a large hole into the floor..ben had used his chairvoiacne not a few moments before..and as allways it allowed him to see 7 seconds into the future...two seconds for blowin the hole.... then one second for falling in...one more second for the stalker droids to shoot there guns at him and miss narrowly... two more seconds for him to land on the first floor without trying to hurt himself....one more second to regain his balance..that was the seven seconds ben had saw..and after the seventh second....

Two things happend...he saw a quite large wolf in front of him...and that fox girl?...and the three pronged tranqulizer embedded itself into ben's shoulder and injected its druggish liquid into the young mutant..ben fell to his knees as his vision went blurry...everything seemed to be mooving slower now..Ben tried desperately to regain his sense's...he wouldent give up now..not even if it was inevitable...

(OOC: Sorry that I've been waiting so long for my post, I was away for the weekend, so here is an extra long post ^^, by the way Rupert I hope you don't mind the end of the post, just tell me if you want it to keep it this way ^^)

Ic:

As Mandain stood for an answer for his hunger the windows clashed and you could here doors breaking open. Mandain was caught of guard, he had heard of the registrations, but he didn't think they would try to enter the mansion, at least if it really was the NYPD. Mandain moved to the back seeing a lot of mutants taking places for defense, some moved to the kitchen as others were turning on there powers. "Let's have fun" Mandain ran the hall ways seeing some fancy armored officers, he didn't react to them and just ran quickly up the stairs trying to doge some bullets or whatever was fired at him. Gunshots were everywhere and the noise it made wasn't pleasant to the ear, get to close to one firring of and you could become deaf. When Mandain finally reached the bedrooms he looked back hoping the didn't come after him, that wish wasn't granted and 3 officers took place at the end of the hallway.

"Put those hands behind your back!" the officers were yelling trying to overpower the noise that was made. A little smirk came on Mandain his face when he dived into one of the doors into a room, lucky for him the door wasn't locked or else he would have had a serious head ache. He now stood in the room, it looked like a girls room, not that it really mattered. The palms of his hands were raised, the officers were soundless because of the noise form everything else and Mandain had no clue when the would come around the corner. minutes were passing and still no sine of those 3 officers. Mandain walked out of the room and got snatched at his throat. "You bastard" Mandain tried to yell it but his words were smothered. Mandain still had his hands free reaching for something that could get this creep of him, he couldn't see the other two officers but they weren't his primary target, this one was. In the vest of the officer sticked out a knife which Mandain some how seemed to have gotten and stabbed the officer in the neck where no armor or anything else was. slowly the officer let him go and Mandain made a run for it.

Coming out of the hallway his other 2 friends had reunite with some more. Mandain was now facing 10 officers with real guns and bullets, no darts or tranquilizers, real bullets. "If he comes any closer or doesn;t obey an order shoot at will!' the officers took a steady position and started screaming stuff like "give up, surrender" and some more of that crap. Mandain wasn't gonna give up, but what could he do? Shooting ion at them would kill him since its 10 versus 1, instead Mandain waited for bullet to reach him. "Fire!" The guns made a devastating noise and bullets were flying at Mandain. Luckily for him his shield came in handy enough, since he had done it a day ago the shield quickly formed around him causing the bullets to be redirected at the shooters with twice the powers, no body armor could resist this much force. Once the smoke had cleared he could clearly see that the 10 officers didn't survive their attack and were dead.

As Mandain continued he had still the knife in one of his hands. "More of those officers?" Yes, more came, not thew the hallways, but threw the windows. Several new men came in. As Mandain watched the glass fracture he could see a chopper flying near the mansion. "Well now, this can be fun" Mandain dived on one of the officers slashing his throat with the knife he was holding. He used the body of the officers to cover himself from the now incoming bullets. "Hold fire" The officers started closing in tactically hiding behind tables, corners and plants. "Sheez gimme a break" The suit Mandain was wearing wasn't ideal for the situation but it could do. He got up and dived out of the window, at least that was what it looked like, in fact he had his hands on of the ropes that the helicopter had thrown down the deploy his men. Mandain climbed up the rope into the helicopter and shot the man with ion. As he got back at the door from the helicopter he jumped out back to the window, but in his dive he shot two huge beams at the helicopter and made it explode and falling into the crowed on the ground.

The landing of the dive was kind off soft since he landed on the officers he just faced inside. He had dived on them making them all fall in the ground, since Mandain's hand was near their body's the simple thing he could do was shoot some ion and they would be done for, and so he did.

Looking down at the body's Mandain saw a walkie talky, he grabbed it and started talking in it: "Rupert is this you? Mandain waited for a reply and then continued "You made a big mistake coming here, and the blood that is spilled of your officers now is on your hands, not mine" Mandain smashed the walkie talky and started walking to see what comes next

James looked left and right, he had just exited the kitchen and was trying to figure out where to go next. Running to the far wall he remembered he had to get outside to get to his Jeep, but the door was heavily guarded. He took out a block of C4 and slapped it to the wall, placing a detonator on it and walking calmly across the room, he wasn't finished in the mansion, but he had an escape route ready when the time came.

Walking back torwards the kitchen he passed by the doorway, and was immediately attacked by two officers, one with a pistol came around his left and raised his gun, James quickly raised his leg and wrapped it around the man's arm, pushing the gun torwards the ground, the other came up to his right side, with a shotgun raised at his head, James ducked and grabbed the shotgun, pushing it away, as the man fired the shotgun blew a hole into the first man's face. Kicking the first man's body away James pulled out his SOCOM and place it under the second man's jaw, pulling the trigger and ending the man's life.

James grabbed the man's shotgun and whatever extra ammunition he had and quickly walked through the doors to the kitchen, shotgun raised he approached Neena and anyone else.

ooc: Man, everyone's doing a GREAT job I'm loving the posts. Hehe I keep forgetting I need to post myself because I'm getting so into it!

ic:

Her heart stopped again, and Raina couldn't think. suddenly She felt someone- a presence, a familiar one. Nicki. Raina felt like she had a small bond with Nicki after the girl saved her life in the fight with Iris. And Raina became aware that Nicki could feel what she was thinking.

She tried desperetly to convey to Nicki everything that was happening just by focusing on her thoughts, and she tried desperatly to show her who Rupert was to her- and how she was unsure of how to handle things from this point on. She'd gotten them in a huge mess.

It was then that Ben went down. Raina whipped around barley dodging and officer as he came at her close enough to reach Ben. There were strange bullets protruding from his neck. "Tranqs...." she realised. "EVERYONE, THEY'VE GOT TRANQS! BE CAREFUL!" she yelled as loud as she could hoping to God Shield could hear her. They may all be mutants, but tranqs would affect most of them.

She looked around and spotted Nicki, she tried to motion the woman over. "We need to get this kid outta here!" she yelled.

A flash of fur. Emerald. Emerald was back in the room. The relief Raina felt at knowing she was ok was completley whiped out when she saw the wolf head for Rupert. "no!" She jumped to her feet again. This time, everything did go in slow motion.

The chaos was whirrling around her as she opened her mouth to sing. It was only Rupert that she was watching, ignorant to the dangers she was missing by mere chance. The water mains above them had burst from an earlier attack, and water was now raining down on everyone. Raina didn't stop to think about Ali controlling the heat- but it would be an excellent coincadence if she did. All she could focus on was Rupert, and the cold errupting from her throat.

This was by far the most beautiful sound to ever leave her lips, it was inhuman and it danced across every water droplet that fell from the ceiling, creating a barrage of hail that plinked off the bots. Feet of humans and mutants alike began to freeze in place to the ground and Raina lasped in her conciousness. For a moment everything seemed still except for her almost ghost like float across the frozen water. Strings of ice hung in her hair, her lips were blue. Then, everything returned to it's regular pace as she threw herself at Rupert.

"Emerald! No!" she knew there was some sort of history with Emerald and Rupert. Perhaps the others looking on would think that Raina just didn't want Emerald to get hurt, or maybe they thought she was trying to keep Emerald from giving mutants a bad name... but Raina... all Raina could see was Rupert as she latched on to him with full force barley stopping her chants to say "No. Please!" her chest heaved, and her mind was panicing. She couldn't think and she wasn't closing her mouth- she wasn't cutting off the song. Everything around was freezing, and Raina was losing more energy then she could possibly afford to lose.

She latched on to Rupert and for a moment with her head against his chest everything was ok. When she felt the warmth from his body, the beating in his chest- that's when the ice shattered and the water moved freely about the room again. "Emerald please!" she was borderline hysterical now. Rupert would know the truth. But right now it didn't matter. Raina and Emerald's sister were both begging Emerald to stop- and Raina looked down at her with eyes that would explain everything. She was in love with Rupert. She was in love with the man sent here to capture them. She didn't even know, that it was all in vain. Rupert had already fired the tranqs.


ooc: So, I tried to make that seem as hysterical as possible. Feel free to work Raina's momentarily lapse in judgement (over using her power and freezing things) to your benifit in whatever way you see fit in your posts, but remember it's just momentarily. Rupe, Emerald, I tried to make that all gel as best as I could... but if you have suggestions let me know and I'll edit.

Several of the robots hammered Michael, trying to hammer him into submission, but he wasn’t budging. As they pulled back, possibly to try and revaluate how to deal wit him he saw three people all dashing to the same area. First was the cop who Raina was seeing bursting into the room. Second was Emerald, rushing him in wolf for. Third was Raina.

Raina seemed to have lost all focus on the chaos around them and seemed to only see Rupert. She dashed for him, singing an ethereal note that seemed to permeate the air. Seeing her oblivious to the dangers around her Michael tried to rush to her aid, only to be frozen in place by her power. Unable to move he could only watch as Raina reached Rupert.

He needed a way to free himself, but to do so he needed some way to break ice. Swinging the sword he tired to smash it, but after two swings saw it was not going to happen. Instead he came up with another plan. Picking up one of the pieces of ice that Raina had made for the burst water pipe, but he hadn’t noticed until now even when they were hitting him in the head, he threw it at one of the robots.

It had the desired effect as the robot closed on him and thumped an arm into Michael’s chest. This time he didn’t even try to resist. The force of the blow knocked him clear across the room, over Rupert, Raina and Emerald and through the wall behind them. Picking himself up quickly he batted aside an assault rifle as it shot him and slashed the owners leg.

With that issue dealt with he climbed back through the hole in the wall to the tangled trio on the floor. “Raina, Emerald,” he shouted, trying to get their attention, “Leave him, you have to leave now or you’re not getting out.” He took a defensive stance over the three of them, taking several more bullets along with a blast form a stalker that burned away his clothes and left him feeling warm and tingly. If the ladies didn’t leave Rupert all of them would be in big trouble.

(OOC: I hope you don’t mind Michael joining in, but as I know all three of you I thought I should respond to you. I know you guys have a plan, so I’ll follow your lead, but I though Michael (who Rupert thought was a nice kid) getting involved would be a little more interesting)
