And Justice for all (Part 1)

by Cypher

So there we are, feet to the fires again.
 
We head off to deal with yet another of Destroyers minions causing grief to Millenium City's citizens. And they still cheer him on? How sad...
 
We land in the vicinity of the attack - there are 6 people with flamethrowers lighting up the gas station. They must be protected but how bright is that? They have 2 Black Talon agents as guards. Methinks there is more here than meets the eye. I have my loyal robot army around me and we look at the scene.
 
L'il Rocket heads into the building to rescue the people that Ghost overheard the police officer complaining about to his superiors.
 
Sandcrab (My Hero) buries several of the fiery areas in dirt, effectively putting them out. I send out the Fleetwoods to spy the area. Lindsay finds a neat object almost right away, a van with a satellite dish on top, very interesting, when you get a chance Linz go see what's inside this vehicle. John heads over to the Talons to see what's up there. Takes all his energy to get close to them, perhaps i need to upgrade them a bit! Christine is just hanging around me, that's odd, she always seems to want to explore, how peculiar. Green is the slowest of my latest creations, I need to do some work on him, bring him uptown speed so to speak. I giggle to myself at that thought. I need time off... I decide I'll delay doing anything until he comes near me then I'll TP down to be closer to the action... I can't believe I want to be closer to the action... what's wrong with me?
 
As I'm waiting for Green to activate, I hear someone land on the roof beside me, I think 'Great WildThing did make it to this adventure after all, strange she usually growls... maybe she's losing her edge?' I look over and see an oriental woman in strange garb, "Uhhh hi(?) friend or foe?" I ask her, in broken English she says "Those are Destroyers minions and an enemy of the chinese peoples, therefore they are my enemy!" Christine doesn't like this new addition and buzzes around her threateningly (Like that means anything? perhaps they do need some type of attack form? well - maybe...) "I am Dragon Lady" the stranger adds, almost as an afterthought. "I'm Cypher, of the New champions, what kinda abilities do you bring to the battle?"
 
She replies, "I am well versed in 4 chinese fighting techniques" I say back, "Stay away from the big Black robot things, they are very tough to fight, You may have better luck against the smaller flame throwing group" She thanks me. Green activates and moves towards me. "We're going in for a closer look" I say as green comes up beside me, he activates his defensive matrix and we teleport closer to John.
 
The BT's attack Ghost with NND cannisters which she ignores and she goes flying down to take one out, but doesn't she rocks it, but it doesn't fall down. Cypher thinks, 'oh dear these things are getting upgrades!'
 
I attempt to take control of the Black Talon but am unsuccessful. Dragon Lady glows with mystical energy.
 
Max entangles the area, catching a Destroid that just appeared, a BT and a flame thrower. John goes to investigate further, Lindsay goes and enters the pocket of an unconscious cloaked man.
 
4 Destroids have entered the battle, one goes and attacks Sandcrab but does minimal damage, it HAS successfully acquired Sandcrab's attention!
