Soundtrack: "Your Husband is Cheatin' on Us" – Betty Wright
Our team has two options – offensive or defensive.
The Hoes of Justice go for
defense.
As soon as the battle begins, the team immediately springs into action:
ROUND 1
EMMA FROST:
Instantly psi-shields the teams from susceptible attacks from
Hybrid or even
Sauron, while also
mindlinking Layla Miller with the team.
JUSTICE:
Instantly envelops a
telekinetic forcefield tightly around our Hoes (and himself).
SIRYN:
Erupts a sonic scream directed solely at
Dazzler.
DAZZLER:
Envelops a
laser defense shield around Justice's telekinetic shield, about a 1m gap. This
laser light simultaneously is projecting an infinite number of
high laser beams in an entire radial direction, both at the opposing team and any other nearby structure in the Outback.
LAYLA MILLER:
Her
precognitive abilities of "knowing stuff" predict that
Ahab will attempt to lock on to one of our characters and try to do a quick KO, which would prove devastating as it cannot be disrupted by energy, including Dazz's forceshield or Justice's TK shield.
The thought of his spear, the target, and where it will go is transmitted at the
speed of thought to
Amelia Voght.
AMELIA VOGHT:
Her
line of sight teleportation goes into immediate work. Based on Layla's projection, she
transubstantiates Ahab's spear and reforms it directly inside of
Spiral, wounding her tremendously, and shorting her out.
The result of this defensive stance will look something like this (don't LOL at my ghetto!):
RESPONSE TO ROUND 1 CRITIQUES/NOTES:
Emma is one of the world's best, most highly trained psychics, and will instantly block any telepathic assault. She has also shown the ability to both psi-shiled
and mindlink simultaneously. This will not over-exert her.
Dazz has
unlimited sound-to-light conversion capabilities, and can also create light objects
away from her own body (as in she does not necessarily have to radiate it herself, as is shown on many occasions, especially in the use of the defensive laser shields).
Siryn is directing all sound directly at Dazzler, which she is consciously absorbing. No "collateral damage" from the sound affects the team; Dazzler has even successfully absorbed Blackbolt's scream in a major urban center without any adverse affects to the nearby population or infrastructure.
Dazz's light is projected outward, which does not blind/dazzle our Hoes (think of looking at a laser lightshow that is not focused directly into your eye. Consequently, the lasers do not emit a searing light on their own, so they are not dazzling the opposing team.
This defensive position makes it impossible for telepaths, teleporters, or bruisers from getting at or near our Hoes. Any teleporters would either teleport into the barrier itself, effectively killing them, or they would teleport on top of our heroes – which would need to be a
very precise move – where we have
Namora to give them a 1-2 KO knockout of fabulous.
Amelia can transubstantiate on sight,
or even with being able to think of certain locations. As
Layla can predict the outcome,
Amelia should be able to pull this off.
There is a
chance that Ahab may not draw a spear, but as Ahab relies mostly on his spear as an offensive ability, it is very likely the opposing team will do so. If this is not the other team's case, then the move will instead go:
LAYLA:
Her
precognitive abilities predict
Spiral's sorcery dance of choice.
The thought of Spiral, her dance, and the effects are transmitted at the
speed of thought to
Amelia Voght.
AMELIA:
Her
line of sight teleportation goes into immediate work. Based on Layla's projection, she
transubstantiates Spiral's swords and reforms them directly inside of
Hybrid – an enemy they know has regenerative abilities. This wounds him for enough time where he is no longer an immediate threat to our Hoes.
KO:
Spiral (if plan B,
Hybrid)
ROUND TWO
THE TEAM'S POSITION:
It's entirely possible that Dazz's
laser barrage has severely wounded or even KO'd several of the team's opposing members. But for the sake of the league, we're not taking any chances!
DAZZ:
Amplified by
Siryn's sound, Ali then amplifies her laser barrage into concussive
photon blasts before dropping the barrage. This high-level of energy should put a number on any
defensive shields in place by the other team, especially after the laser barrage.
SIRYN:
She stops her
sonic wail before Dazzler stops her blast.
Dazz is still charged with a great deal of sonic energy.
LAYLA:
Predicts directly where
Amelia should teleport.
AMELIA:
Transubstantiates our team and drops them near
Hybrid, based on
Layla's predictions.
EMMA:
Re-ups the
psi-shield once they re-materialize.
--- The Opposing Team should be a successful distance away from one another thanks to Dazz's laser/photon barrage. --
NAMORA:
Attacks Hybrid. If a
telekinetic shield is put in place by Hybrid, the weakened foe is distracted/disoriented/wounded sufficiently that a
telekinetic assist [/b]by
Justice should sufficiently KO him, especially if he tried to cipher one or the other's powers. And in this case, he already possesses the powers of the two assaulting him (Namora's super-strength/Justice's tk).
LAYLA & AMELIA:
Predicts and
deflects oncoming projectiles or attacks from other teammates running to the aid of Hybrid (especially if he puts out a telepathic SOS). This will come in handy for
Ahab's spears or to call Justice for help against a distance attack from
Firestar or if the
Frederick Slade decides to teleport their team together.
PLAN B:
If, as in round 1, the team had to focus on
Hybrid and not
Spiral, the absence of Spiral's weapons weakens her sorcery. A combined team of Namora, Justice, Dazz, and Siryn will outmatch her, as Spiral's well-known overconfidence, Dazzler's knowledge of her tactics, and Spiral's lag-time in needing to perform dances to pull off strong spells will eventually have her downed.
KO:
Spiral,
Hybrid
ROUND 3
Now without that sorceress or the telepath cipher to obstruct the team, the Hoes work it out,
looking out to off anyone who wasn't taken by Dazz's laser barrage. For completion's sake, we're assuming nobody was KO'd, though this surely ain't the case.
With
Emma no longer needing to psi-shield:
EMMA:
Mindlinks the team and lets them know the opponents' locations. They split into separate groups:
DAZZ & SIRYN:
The fabulous beauties descend upon
Ahab, unleashing a sound and light barrage. The affects on his equilibrium and senses, both sonic and light, dazzle him out.
AMELIA AND NAMORA:
These Hoes teleport to
Vanguard, where
Amelia transubstantiates away Vanguard's hammer and sickle on-sight and tosses them across the Outback. Weaponless, the super-strong
Namora edges him out.
JUSTICE:
Encases both
Sauron and
Firestar in telekinetic bubbles. Justice and Firestar dated, so he's totally not gonna let Firestar get the smackdown from one of his current Hoes.
Justice then increases the telekinetic density of the bubbles so that air molecules cannot get through, causing both
Firestar and
Sauron to pass out from lack of oxygen.
KO:
Spiral, Hybrid,
Ahab, Vanguard, Sauron, Firestar
ROUND 4
You can bump this up into the last round, but we just love Frederick Slade.
He was a formidable and ruthless teleporter, and a member of Clan Akkaba. He's also Blink's grandpappy. But he's totally 100 years old by now. You might think he looks like THIS:
But he totally looks like THIS:
So if
Dazzler's initial blast didn't cause him to fall and break a hip already, we have two ways of dealing with the teleporter:
1. EMMA
After Hybrid's defeat, she mindblasts him.
2. LAYLA
Knowing that old men love young girls, she walks up to him and flashes her Only-for-Madrox milkmaids, causing Frederick to have a stroke and in dire need of …THERAPY! with Nocturne. And he – with the Diva formerly known as Qwerty – will both learn to overcome their paralyzed states.
KO'd:
Spiral, Hybrid, Ahab, Vanguard, Sauron, Firestar,
Frederick Slade
The Hoes then return to Justice's Pleasure Palace where they bathe in champagne and round out the day with a soothing Sade soundtrack.
They also invite CyberHubbs and fitditz's team to the party, and after having one too many dazzletinis, Hybrid has drunken sex in his alien form with Sage, who's recovering from her virus attack in the guest room. Sage dies horribly 48 hours later, when alien babies 'splode through her womb.
Final Notes:
- Frederick Slade
was a formidable teleporter. Now, he's super! old. His reflexes, mental acuity, and precision are largely under question. Don't tell me Emma Frost is going to look sexy in that diamond form when she's 100 either. Then again, diamonds
are forever.
- The opposing team uses Spiral, Ahab, and Sauron – all villains that are used to working solo and often have solo agendas. The ability for them to work in tandem with each other – let alone heroes – raises issues of plausibility.
