>After taking some time to drink and rest, you throttle your bike and head back towards the city, Voltage gripping onto you the whole way.
>The desert flies by beneath you, and you keep a careful eye on the fuel gauge’s needle.
>By the time you reach the city, it pushes about a quarter tank left.
>Plenty to make it home with some to spare, but you’re going to need gas soon.
>The sun moves down from its apex. By your reckoning, it’s about two or three in the afternoon.
>Thus, not a lot of civilians roam the streets.
>But something seems to be up.
>Upon seeing your bike, some stare as you drive by.
>Some of them quicken their pace, casting nervous glances to you.
>Most go about their daily lives as if nothing is wrong, but enough pay attention to you to make you uncomfortable.
>None of them outright panic or take off running, they just look on-edge.
>Voltage taps on your shoulder and shoots you a questioning look.
>You can’t shake the uncomfortable feeling that someone is watching you.
>Glances to the rooftops reveal nothing.

>>26666138
I knew those brats were gonna reveal us.

>>26666138
Don't head straight home. We can stop somewhere quiet nearby and wait.

>>26666138
Get off the streets.

>>26666183
>>26666288
>>26666302
>You knew those little brats were going to blab about you.
>Silently cursing them, you continue scanning the rooftops to see nothing.
>You need to pull off of the streets, you can’t head straight home.
>Finding the next alleyway, you pull into it and dunk behind a dumpster, keeping your head on a swivel.
>You find yourself breathing a little bit more quickly, anxiety taking a small hold on you.
>Shutting off the engine to your bike, you peek around the dumpster, uncomfortable.
>You still don’t see anything.
>Voltage jumps off of the bike as well, taking cover behind the dumpster as well.
>She looks at you with confusion.
>”What’s going on? Road Rage, are you okay?”

>>26666438
I'm not the most welcome in this city. So guess what happens when you reveal yourself after a few months disappearance?

>>26666438
I think ponies know I'm back in town.

>>26666477
>>26666543
“I think ponies know I’m back in town.”
>”But how would they? You’re wearing that stuff.”
>You glance over to the motorcycle.
“I’m not the most welcome pony in this city. Guess what happens when you reveal yourself after months of disappearing.”
>”Oh.”
“Oh is right. Now keep an eye out for anyone that’s following us.”
>The two of you continue to lie low, watching for anything, and taking regular looks up.
>Occasionally, a pony will pass by the entrance, and you hold your breath until they move along.
“See anything?”
>”Not yet.”
>As you sit there, you hear nothing odd and see nothing out of the ordinary.
>The only things you feel are the asphalt beneath your hooves and a small breeze that runs across your face.

>>26666774
Alright, we can't stay here all day.
We can start moving back. Take some shortcuts through alleys that make following quietly awkward.

>>26666774
We need to get out of here. We can't camp in an alley until night.

>>26666774
We need to get home right now. And keep that heartrate under control, stress isn't good.

>>26666814
>>26666830
>>26666835
>You can’t just camp here all day.
>Somepony will find you
>You need to get out of here, get home.
“Come on Voltage, we’re going, now.”
>You hop onto the bike and strap yourself in.
>Not needing to be told twice, she hops on, grabbing your back.
>As you pull away, you realize that your heart is pumping much faster than it should.
>You try to calm yourself, taking deep breaths as you weave through alleys.
>As you do so, you close your eyes, and the magical world comes into focus around you briefly.
>Something light blue and pony-shaped trails in the air behind you, following you as you drive, shimmering faintly in your mind’s eye.
>You open your eyes and glance back.
>You see nothing but air.

>>26667107
>invisibility
Time to start lobbing?

>>26667107
Tell Volt quietly.
Head for the nearest low traffic area. An industrial area or an abandoned building.

>>26667107
We need to lose them without drawing any more attention to ourself or Voltage.

>>26667161
Actually scratch that it's a stupid idea.

>>26667161
>>26667167
>>26667231
>>26667262
>Putting two and two together, you realize that she’s invisible.
>A few different ideas pass through your head.
>But first, you have to tell Volt.
>Not changing your body position, you try to speak just over your engine.
“Volt. Tap twice if you can hear me. Don’t say anything.”
>You wait for a moment, but after a few seconds, you feel a tapping on your stomach.
“We’re being followed by an invisible superhero.”
>She speaks softly as well, and you have to strain to hear her.
>”What do we do?”
“Working on it.”
>You pull another corner, and close your eyes.
>Within a couple seconds, she pulls around, just behind you.
>You need to lose her without drawing attention, but you’ll never do it on these turns.
>Most pegasi can’t fly that quickly, you could probably lose her on a straight.
>You think there’s a condemned factory building just a few blocks down.

>>26667355
Lead her to a false hideout.

>>26667355
As long as we can get them off us without destroying things.

>>26667398
And what would we do after that?

>>26667355
Going fast is the least confrontational approach, but we might get the attention of the cops doing so.
If we could do it somewhere relatively quiet then sure, but otherwise we need to lead her somewhere that will be advantageous to us. The factory might be good for Volt's powers, but she'd have to be careful not to hit us.

>>26667430
It could be someplace they'll have difficulty following or where they'd need reinforcements. An abandoned factory or the sewers come to mind.

>>26667441
This, a little intimidation might be all it need
We caught him, and we may reming him what happened to the last super which tried to sneak on us
Of course, pretend you can clearly see him even with the invisibility, we will get a lot less courageous with out his trump card

>>26667492
Direct confrontation could go very badly.

>>26667492
We don't need to pretend to be able to see him. Can't we sense his magic to get his position?

>>26667551
>>26667107
>Shimmering faintly in your mind's eye
It's still means some trouble for fighting him

>>26667398
>>26667400
>>26667430
>>26667441
>>26667489
>>26667492
>>26667507
>>26667551
>>26667582
>The factory. You can lead her to the factory.
>Of course, you don’t have much in mind to follow up with, but it’s the best thing that you have right now.
>You keep to the alleys, trying to avoid detection by the cops.
>Soon, you come upon a factory building, the metal fence long since fallen.
>Pretending that this is your hideout, you nod to Voltage and the two of you walk your bike inside.
>You come into an open factory floor.
>Rotting wooden planks, sawdust, and large pieces of rusted machinery lie strewn about the factory.
>Light filters in at an angle through holes in the ceiling.
>Hanging lightbulbs swing from the ceiling, suspended on a wire.
>Several concrete pillars stretch to the ceiling.
>If it were darker, you’d honestly feel uncomfortable in here.
>You close your eyes and meditate.
>You don’t see any trace of the super yet.

>>26667639
Keep moving towards the back. We don't want to get caught standing around if she's gone to get her pals.

>>26667639
Time to get comfortable and keep or eyes and magic open for captain chameleon.

>>26667639
Find hiding places and leave the bike near the exit.

>>26667639
Meditate with Volt while you're at it
See if you can share perception with her, that would be awesome

>>26667668
>>26667669
>>26667676
>>26667693
“Come on Voltage, let’s get to the back before captain chameleon shows up.”
>”What are we doing here?”
“Hiding, now come on.”
>You leave the motorcycle by the exit and head towards the back for places to hide.
>The farther back you go in the large factory room, the cleaner things become.
>The amount of boards lying around decreases, and you can feel the concrete under your hooves instead of sawdust.
“Hey Volt, meditate with me.”
>”Why?”
“Let’s see if we can share our meditation. That would be pretty sweet.”
>”I’ll try.”
>The two of you close your eyes, and you try to feel for her.
>You feel her magic brush up against you, but you unfortunately can’t join up with her.
>”Am I doing this right?”
“Guess I can’t do it either. Ah well.”
>You continue meditating, trying not to get caught off guard by the invisible super, but again come up clean.
>You imagine she must be up to something.
>Around you, you see various places to hide.
>There’s a small pile of wooden planks stashed in a corner.
>The rusted machinery lies towards the middle of the room, and has plenty of room to fit under.
>There are a few concrete pillars by the sides.
>Stashed in the other corner, a worn dirt-stained mattress lies on the ground.

>>26667848
Should I be concerned only one side of this place is actually shit?

>>26667848
We should look for alternate escape routes. Our tail might be waiting outside for reinforcements.

>>26667848
I don't think our follower would try to deal with us both alone. We should try to sneak out.

>>26667876
>>26667892
>>26667901
“Should I be concerned that only half of this place is actually shit?”
>”Only if you find a mattress in an abandoned factory concerning.”
>You cast looks between the door, your bike, and the rest of the factory.
>As far as you can tell, there only looks to be one other exit to the factory floor in the form of the factory’s offices.
>You think that might be an alternate escape route.
>But maneuvering a bike through that might be slow going, and you have no idea what condition they're in.

>>26667958
Check under the mattress. Also don't get tunnel vision.

>>26667958
No fire escapes? No wonder this place shut down.
We can always speed things up a bit if needed by going through the walls.

>>26667958
Leave the bike, sneak around the factory until we find our tail, sneak up on them and knock them out, and after the coast is clear grab the bike and run.

>>26667981
>>26667993
>>26667997
“No fire exit, huh?”
>”Guess they figured they could do without it.”
“Look where that got them.”
>You check underneath the mattress.
>You find a hoof-full of bits, a torn hoodie, and a switchblade.
>Honestly, you don’t feel very comfortable taking them.
>If you change your mind, you’ll just grab them next time around.
>But for now, you’re going to do some sneaking.
>You sneak though the offices, concrete and smashed ceiling tiles digging into the frog of your hoof.
>Broken glass litters the floor nears the doors, and you step around it.
>Voltage follows your lead.
>It takes a while, but you make your way to the office’s entrance without encountering any ponies, and keep a wary eye out, looking for cops.
>But you find none, and again make your way to the large door to the factory.
>Not peeking, you close your eyes and feel your way inside.
>You feel three ponies standing by your bike, crowding around it.
>One is an absolutely massive earth pony stallion, glowing a deep green.
>Another is a unicorn, a brilliant white.
>The last is the faintly shimmering blue pegasus, now shining just a little bit brighter than before.
>The earth pony stallion is touching your bike, running his hoof along it.
>The corner of your mouth twitches in disgust.
>You duck onto the concrete building out of view of the entrance and turn to Voltage.
‘Three supers, right inside’ you mouth, trying to sign with your hooves.
>‘What do we do?’ she mouths back.

>>26668232
Three on two while tired is bad odds. We can wait and see what they do. If they take the bike we follow. If they split up we might be able to knock at least the sneaky one out and make an escape.

>>26668232
Wait to see if they leave the bike.

>>26668232
Uhhhh
UHHHHH
Can we just sneak past them please?

>>26668300
>>26668310
>>26668311

>You’d like to try to sneak past them, but you don’t know if you really want to.
>Really, you could probably just turn around and leave right now.
>But that would mean leaving your bike behind, and you really don’t want to do that, if you can help it.
>You and that bike have been through a lot together, leaving it behind just seems wrong.
>For now, you just sit there and wait.
>Three against two probably won’t work out for you.
>As you watch with your meditation, the shimmering on the pegasus grows dimmer and she flaps to the center of the room, gliding around as she scans the area.
>The unicorn mare lights her horn, a bright white glow burning off of it.
>She trots away, searching underneath and behind everything.
>Only the large earth pony stays by your bike.

>>26668440
Keep watching and make sure we're out of sight.
Give Volt our chain.

>>26666130

>>26668440
Wonder if Voltage can act like a taser. Do we have a wrench?

>>26668491
Page 1 bump?

>>26668490
Yeah, use this to trap and taze him, then walk the bike out as to mot alert the others.

>>26668490
I don't think we brought our chain.
Speaking of which I've been meaning to address just what we bring when we leave but we can save it for later.

>>26668440
Pegasus is probably using magic of some sort.

Also I REALLY don't like big green earth pony. It may just be my mind linking together "big green superhero" and "the Hulk", but something tells me he might have super strength. We're not beating that in a one-on-one fight.

Try incapacitating him from afar somehow. And quietly.

>>26668524
Why the hell would we not bring our chain?

>>26668539
>>26668519
No, we want to target the smaller ones first, and quietly if possible. We can take them down quickly, but he might just shrug it off and leave us in a three-on-two.

>>26668579
Thats why I said to run. If we walk the bike, they won't hear us till we already got away. Or I may be missing something, kinda rushed to catch up while at work so I might've missed where their all moving around.

>>26668560
I dunno man I just thought I remembered reading that we didn't bring it.

>>26668596
He's standing next to it.

>>26668579
Why do we need to take all three of them out? We're just trying to get away from them.

>>26668497
Voltage is holding your wrench, you let her borrow it in the desert.

>>26668524
>>26668560
Yes, you have your chain with you. It's understood that you have it wrapped around you if you:
A: Took your bike to where you are
B: Are not exercising
C: Are not at home.

>>26668616
Because they have our bike and the big guy will be difficult to knock out before the other two get there.

>>26668615
I meant the others, don't know whether pr not their in range to hear or see us if we attempt to sneak.

>>26668644
One has our bike and we can abandon it if we need to. Right now we're weighing our options and a plan like that is much worse than just leaving.

>>26668664
Thank you for informing me of the obvious. Of course we can just leave. Then we have no bike.

>>26668650
Considering one of them is currently above our heads looking everywhere for any sign of us...

>>26668650
>>26668713
>But you find none, and again make your way to the large door to the factory.
>Not peeking, you close your eyes and feel your way inside.
We're currently outside the factory, behind them.

>>26668713
Yeah, thought I was missing one of them. Rather busy tonight so I've had to skim through a good deal of what been done at the moment.

>>26668747
Not *directly* above us but it's unlikely we'll slip past her without a distraction.

>>26668750
>>26668757
Both the pegasus and the unicorn went deeper into the factory, away from us. If we stay quiet the only one we'll have to worry about is the earth pony.

>>26668768
The pegasus is high up in the center of the factory. She could still see us.

>>26668757
And I'm going to assume the odds are slim of tazing her as to pick off the others one by one... I hate to say it but leaving the bike might be the best idea unless theirs anything important on it.

May I get a consensus on a definite plan of attack here?

>>26668790
no

>>26668776
She wouldn't be looking towards us since her partner has the bike covered. Also there nothing saying that she isn't flying closer to the ground or that there's no obstacles between us.

>>26668798
Even if she is she still seconds away from him. How are we going to deal with him and get on a bike quietly enough to leave before she notices?

>>26668790
We need more info, can we have more info on the their locations and take a peek at the one guarding our bike? Supers tend to wear thematic outfits, so we might get a better idea on how to deal with him if we gt that info.

>>26668816
Again, don't start the engine, walk it away so we can hide in an ally, then when yhe coast is clear vroom-vroom away.

>>26668816
Is it impossible to quickly and quietly knock somebody out?

>>26668839
Again, dealing with him?

>>26668839
Also, are their sprinklers in here? Can we set them off and have Static just short everyone at once?

>>26668842
When he's huge and likely has superpowers?
Yes.

>>26668858
So your giving up all hope based on an assumption? Not even going to try to get more information or wait for a better opportunity?

>>26668872
Never said that.

>>26668846
Figured we could just chain him and shock him, or throw something and see if he moved first.

>>26668825
>>26668853
>You carefully take a quick peek inside.
>You haven’t actually seen any of them, you need information.
>The earth pony is a brown stallion with green hair.
>He wears a forest green jumpsuit that fits tightly to his skin, accentuating his muscles.
>He has a green mask that covers his face.
>Looking at him gives you the impression of a tree.
>Within moments, you spot the unicorn, now on the complete other side of the warehouse.
>You can’t actually see her from here, but the bright light she gives off floods the area around her.
>You close your eyes, trying to pinpoint the pegasus.
>You find her floating above the rubble. If she were visible, you would have direct line of sight on her from the door.
>The pegasus follows the unicorn as she moves. She has her back turned to you currently.
>You look towards the ceiling above her.
>You don’t see any sprinklers. It there were any, you don’t think you would bet on the water working anymore.
>Plenty of rubble sits by the door. If you could manage to reach it, you could get out of the pegasus's line of sight.

>>26668921
We could have Voltage hit him with a heavy shock and hope he get's knocked out. It seems the other two are sticking together.

>>26668921
Well if she isn't looking at us I say it's the perfect time to move in.

>>26668964
He looks like a tree. He might be shock proof, so if we do be carefull.

>>26668962
We should be ready with the wrench so we can help take him down.

>>26668921
We could hide behind the rubble and throw a stone outside to attract him further away.

For those curious about his power I'm going to throw my thoughs out: he's pony Groot.
He's viney like Poison Ivy.
It's symbolic and he's just built like a house.
Or he's a one with nature/druid style brawler.
Any other things we should watch for if a fight is the result?

>>26668490
>>26668497
>>26668519
>>26668539
>>26668560
>>26668962
>>26668964
>You feel really uncomfortable around the big green earth pony
>He reminds you too much of Saddle Rager, and she could stomp you without breaking a sweat.
>You unwrap your chain and give it to Voltage, and she gives you the wrench back.
‘Big guy, right inside.’
>She nods, wrapping the chain around her hoof.
>You throw a rock into the room and his ears perk, looking towards the source of the sound.
>Frustratingly, he still doesn’t move.
>Voltage sneaks in throws the chain at the earth pony while you watch.
>It wraps around his barrel, clattering as chains often do.
>Voltage sends a surge of electricity through it, and the pony grits his teeth in defiance.
>He stumbles, legs shaking as he tries to push through the electricity and get to her.

>>26669130
Bean him in the head with the wrench.

>>26669130
Time for some blunt force trauma to speed things up.

>>26669130
Hit him in the head before he makes a raket.

>>26669130
Brain him with the wrench, repeatedly if necessary.

>>26669156
>>26669159
>>26669162
>>26669213
>Sensing you need to help out, you rush in and slam your wrench into him.
>His legs give out and he collapses onto his stomach, his teeth still gritted in defiance.
>He tries to stand and you hit him one more time.
>The second hit does it, and he collapses onto his side, the chain rattling as it hits the floor.
>Voltage pulls it away, making a clattering sound that makes you cringe.
>Immediately, you close your eyes and try to get a bead on the other ponies to see if they’ve noticed you.
>The pegasus is staring right at you in surprise.
>A shout comes from the middle of the room.
>”No, Aspen! Light, get over here, now!”
>You hear the sound of hoof on concrete from across the room, and the white light begins rushing around the perimeter.
>It’ll take a while before she gets here.
>The pegasus flutters to a corner of the room, seemingly moving to strike from a position you won’t expect.

>>26669271
Let her get in close and tackle her. Somehow I doubt she's used to actual brawling.

>>26669271
Enough time to hop on the bike and boost out of here?

>>26669271
Wait until she get's close and, before we smash her with our wrench, say we see her.

>>26669331
>ruining a surprise strike

>>26669331
I'm pretty sure smacking her one will be the big reveal.

>>26669378
Would she really be able to evade at that range?

>>26669331
I like it. I like it a lot.

Let's just hope we put them in hospitals, not kill them. We don't want more weight on that side of the scales.

I don't care how many people we save, at some point the scale will break if it has to hold up too much weight. And no matter how much weight is in one pan, it's what's in the lightest one that can break the scale, because that's what it has to hold up.

Say we put 2000 in the "saved" pan, then 1000 in the "killed" pan. That scale's probably going to break because it's having to hold up 1000 souls' worth of really, really bad karma.

>The two of you wait for the perfect opportunity, Voltage watching the light get closer and closer.
>But you pay no attention to the light.
>You’re watching the mare who thinks she has the drop on you.
>As the bright mare rounds the corner, the invisible mare makes her move.
>She points her hoof forward, flinging herself at you.
>As she nears, you spin, swinging your wrench at her with all your might.
“I see you.”
>The mare tries to roll to the side to avoid your strike, but fails.
>She cries out in surprise as the wrench makes contact with her face, shocking her.
>The mare slides past you, slamming into the ground near the other mare, who fell to a halt.
>You open your eyes and turn around, smirking at the two visible mares.
>The unicorn mare has a stark white coat and yellow mane. Her outfight is a neon green and features lightbulbs. The stitching looks haphazard.
>The pegasus mare has a blue coat and orange mane. With how badly her colors contrast, you’re pretty sure that she could be seen from the moon.
“Not that sneaky,” you smirk, patting your wrench against your hoof.
>The white mare helps her friend up, and looks at you defiantly.
>The pegasus’s right eye waters from the hit.
>Light lowers her horn and the pegasus immediately closes her eyes
>You don’t know how Voltage fared, but you realize just a little too late what she’s doing.
>A bright flash fills your vision, and everything goes white.
>Your eyes burn.

I’m going to call it a night here. Thank you all so much for playing and I’ll see you tomorrow.

If you have any questions, be sure to ask.

>>26669620
Yeah, but it's a good metaphor.
You can't just justify more and more killing with "I'll just save a few more lives and it balances out."
Because it won't. Instead the scale just breaks after so much.

>>26669629
Fuck now we're never gonna be able to go out yet again.

>>26669629
It was obvious what her ability was considering the name we heard. Be ready to defend an incoming attack and try to sense them. Our magic sense doesn't rely in sight.

>>26669648
Was her face stupid?

>>26669804
If it wasn't before, it definitely is now.

>>26669804
>tfw whenever I see 'stupid face' I'm reminded of what happened

>>26669701
Our magic sense doesn't give us sight but we can still see the magic of others perhaps, if we focus it can give us a basic silhouette of the ponies next to us instead of just masses of magic.

>>26670306
It already works that way or we wouldn't have been able to hit the invisible pegasus.

>>26670332
hmmm

>>26670306
>>26670332
>>26671119

Meta:
Yes, it allows you to see silhouettes of living things. Just a silhouette and their magic use. It does not, however, let you see inanimate objects.

For example, say it's pitch black and you tried to walk through a maze with your eyes closed. If it was a hedge maze, you would be fine, since the hedges are alive. If the same maze was made of wooden gates, you'd be bumping into walls. Planks of wood are no longer alive.
So generally, fighting with your eyes closed the whole time won't be a good idea if there's any kind of terrain feature around.

You can start and stop it rather quickly because of how long you've spent working on it, but it can also be easily disrupted. Getting hit will cause it to falter. Being badly hurt will make it significantly harder to concentrate.

It's also exclusive to earth ponies in this autistic not canon universe because muh connection to the erf.

>It may as well be over.

>Brushing aside your hopelessness and the burning in your eyes, you close them, going on the defensive.
>Three ponies come into focus.
>You, Voltage, and the unicorn stand in a straight line.
>It takes you a moment to spot the pegasus, but she hovers over towards the middle of the factory.
>Voltage has hopped in front of you, and lashes out with the chain, which twinkles dimly in your vision.
>The unicorn hops to the side out of the way of the chain and lowers her horn again, energy building around the organ.
>Voltage covers her eyes, but no flash comes.
>Instead, the pegasus tackles her from the side, knocking her to the ground.
>You internally chuckle at the nasty surprise that pegasus is going to get.
>Now, there’s nothing between you and the unicorn as far as you can tell.
>Her horn now points at you.
>The burning in your eyes begins to fade.

>>26679171
And I went down down down in a ________

>>26679171
I wonder how well she can see through her casting like that.
Throw the wrench and dive to the side. Chances are that's not just another flash.

>>26679171
This is no time for hopelessness!
We cant become a sad sack like Ice!

Now get off your ass and put that unicorn on hers.

Give that bitch a wrench to the head!

>>26679171
Give a couple blind swings to lull them into a false sense of security.

>>26679193
>>26679218
>>26679293
>You can’t give up!
>You won’t become a sad sack like Ice.
>Now it’s time to get off your ass and put this unicorn on hers.
>Your new resolve causes your flames to flare up, summoning a burning ring of fire around you.
>The unicorn lets her spell go, a beam of pure white energy washing towards you.
>You bring up your fire to stop it, and the magic clashes against your shield, rushing against it.
>The charged blast carries quite a bit of force, and your breathing once again picks up as you try to maintain the shield.
>You dodge to the side, gambling on the fact that she won’t be able to see while she’s casting.
>As you do, you let the fire dissipate, the white beam crashing through and slamming against the wall.
>You toss your wrench at the unicorn, and it sails true, slamming into her chest.
>She stumbles, her legs shaking a bit as she steps backwards.
>Her beam peters out, and beads of sweat drip down her face.
>Voltage and the invisible pegasus’s magic seem to blend together, the pegasus still on top of voltage.
>The burning fades, you open your eyes again.
>Voltage reaches out blindly, and seems to find purchase, wrapping her hooves around something.
>The pegasus shouts as Voltage’s magic rushes through her.
>Light looks between you and Voltage, indecisive.

>>26679531
Well if she won't make a move, we will. Rush in and bring the wrench back.

>>26679531
Time for a direct face bash

>>26679531
She's a ranged fighter. Toss a fireball to distract her and charge her.

>>26679558
>>26679621
>>26679626
>You throw a fireball at her, not really expecting it to hit.
>Using it as a distraction, you rush towards her, reaching your hoof out to grab the wrench.
>It looks to be on target, but her horn flashes and the projectile quivers in the air.
>The fireball bursts into a ball of white light, popping like an airbomb firework.
>Rushing in right behind the ball, you bring your wrench down on her, aiming for her head.
>Her eyes widen and she brings up a leg to stop it.
>The handle of the wrench slams into her hoof, and she winces.
>You push against her leg and she gives a little, the sparking wrench getting closer to her head.
>She brings up the other leg and pushes back, regaining the lost ground.
>You smirk at how it takes her two legs to stop your one.
>She grunts against you, pushing back with all her might.
>Out of the corner of your eye, you spot her horn beginning to spark once again.

>>26679835
Well if we're the one with the free hoof then let's give her a warm welcome :^)

>>26679835
Only standing on two legs? Duck sideways and let her fall forwards, then smack her while she's down.

>>26679862
>>26679835
This, but with a wrestling hold

>>26679835
Since we're only using one hoof, lets use the other to hit her.

>>26679858
>>26679862
>>26679887
>>26679933
>Since you’re only using one hoof, you send the other right into her exposed belly.
>She expels a breath of air, sputtering from the sucker punch.
>You drop your hoof and the wrench, letting her fall forward.
>Taking the opportunity, you slide around to her back and hook a foreleg around her neck.
>You pull her backwards into you so that you’re seated on your haunches, the smaller unicorn falling into your lap.
>You get her into a sleeper hold, keeping her head still with your other hoof while you cut off her blood flow.
>She struggles madly, clearly frightened for her life.
>Her horn flashes, but you make sure to turn your head away as she does so, avoiding the flashing light.
>She tries to beat at you, pawing at the hoof around her neck.
>You’ve used it before in plenty of street fights, and know exactly how long to hold it for, counting in your head as she struggles.
>Soon, her head slumps, her eyelids falling. She’s clearly down for the count.
>You cast a glance to Voltage, who seems to be doing similarly well.
>She stands over a slightly singed blue pegasus, Voltage’s hooves pinning her to the ground.
>The pegasus lies in defeat, not even resisting.
>She’s still conscious, but breathing hard.
>Speaking of, you don’t think the unicorn in your hooves will be out for very long.
>What will you do with her?

>>26680145
Drop her, we need to leave. And if the uni's still conscious then tell her we want to be left alone.

>>26680145
Is there a dumpster near by we can just drop her in and weld shut with our powers.

We can just leave these two chumps in there.

>>26680219
This

>>26680219
Can we not

>>26680224
Thats both cruel and pointless, and to note welding it shut would suffocate them. Metal doesn't let air in or out.

>>26680262
Its not cruel they'll break out sooner or later and the point is to keep them from following us.

Also it's kinda assumed that we'd make air holes you big baby.

This is a comic book world so calm down.

How about a simple warning we high tail it? None of them are going anywhere and with the thorough beating they probably won't attempt a follow up.

>>26680262
It's possible to weld two pieces of metal together without making an airtight seal. Also if the unicorn wakes up first then she'd be able to wake up her friends and start trying to find us that much sooner.

>>26680318
We can't warn somebody that's unconscious.

>>26680145
Time to ride.

>>26680322
One is shocked an notably burned, the other is more then likely suffering from a concusion. The unicorn isn't a threat as it stands and her friends are out for medical leave. They aren't woth it. I'm also in trade school for welding. I know an it's possible to not create a seal, but that would mean the strength of said weld would take a dive unless you staggered it, and then that takes to much time in this instance.

>>26680145
LOOT!

>>26680145
trash em in a garbage bin somewhere

>>26680374
Can you not try to force so much unneeded realism into a world where talking magic ponies ride motorbikes.

Locking people in dumpsters and stuff like this happens all the time in cartoons. As long as we make some air holes it'll be fine. Besides they got magic they'll just blow a hole in the dang thing probably.

Chill.

>>26680374
Think about it this way, if we just leave them where they are then they're at the mercy of whoever lives here.

>>26680145
Lets see if they have anything on them worth stealing.

>>26680427
>>26680525
Niggas we need to go

>>26680507
Not one of them had magic blasts, so yeah, if people can die, I'm going to worry about things like this.

>>26680513
Then call the cops and tell them where their at, payphones are a thing.

>>26680549
No, we need to take their potential magic item/spheres
Our mind vision should find them in a flash if they have them

>>26680583
Not entirely sure if it'd be worth it, since they might not have any, but getting the bike ready while Voltage loots them might be a good idea.

>>26680571
What are you talking about we were just fighting a unicorn who was matching our fire balls blow for blow they'll be fine.

And just because someone can die doesn't mean you have to suck all the fun out of playing.

In the context of this world im pretty sure they'd be fine.

>First, you loot the unicorn.
>She doesn’t wear saddlebags, but she does have a utility belt.
>You unhitch it and set it aside.
>You prop her up onto your back, and trot outside, her legs dangling.
>A rusted dumpster sits next to the building, vines and small weeds beginning to climb it.
>While you briefly think about putting her inside, weighing the pros and cons.
>Eventually though, you decide to stuff her inside, welding only a few points shut.
>It’s not a very strong seal. You’re sure she’ll be able to break out of it eventually.
>If Soapy can untie herself from some railroad tracks, this mare can break herself out of a dumpster.
>Thankfully, the lid is rusted and warped enough, you don’t think she’ll have any trouble breathing.
>Even before you finish, you hear a faint ‘hello?’ from the dumpster.
>You trot back inside, a little conflicted about what you just did, and take in the scene.
>Upon seeing you enter, Voltage gets off of the blue pony, who curls up, her body still shaking even though the shocks have long since stopped.
“Volt, see if she has anything good on her.”
>”Will do.”
>Voltage begins looking through the pegasus’ pockets, who can make little effort to resist.
>You loot the earth pony, who does wear saddlebags.
>Interestingly, he has a small stash of bits, some seed packets, and a trowel.
>You pocket the bits.
“Anything good?
>”Nothing on her.”
“Mind if I take a look?”
>You close your eyes, looking over her.
>You notice her spandex glow a slightly different color than her.
>The suit seems to be siphoning energy from a single point on her chest.
>Putting a hoof on her, you notice a midnight blue orb embedded in her outfit.

>>26680644
Nullifying a blast is not a blast. As sucking the fun out of something isn't what I'm doing, I'm trying to prevent a complete and utter mess from forming because some one thought hmthings needed to be a cartoon.

>>26680694
NEW ORB COLOR
GOTTAS GET THAT SHIT

>>26680694
rip and tear
They ride away like a nigger ona bicycle

>>26680694
Steal her orb and ride away feeling like a badass.

>>26680694
"I didn't want any trouble"

>>26680790

>>26680815
>You… You need it.
>Rubbing your hooves together, you wonder if this is what being a kleptomaniac feels like.
>Nonetheless, that orb is yours. It just doesn’t know it yet.
>You reach down and rip the whole section of the fabric free, stashing it in your saddlebags.
>She looks at the orb as it disappears into your bags, sniffing.
“I know you heroes don’t care, but we didn’t want any trouble.”
>You smirk, turning away and motioning for Voltage to follow you.
>”I think that went pretty well.”
“Yeah, numbers don’t mean anything if they can’t use them.”
>”So we gonna leave these guys here?”
“Sure are, they can find their own way home. We’re getting out of here.”
>You hop onto your bike and strap yourself in, Voltage grabbing on behind you.
>As you pull away, you hear a dull banging from the dumpster.
>You hit the roads once again, staying mostly to alleyways and side streets.
>It’s times like these you wish your bike wasn’t so obnoxiously loud.
>While you’re presumably on your way home, your mind returns to you setting aside Light's utility belt.
>Did you actually pocket the belt or did you leave it on the ground?

>>26680948
We took it. Check for tracking devices.

>>26680948
It's A BOMB!
Nah, I guess we can check it though.

>>26680948
Perhaps we should stop and just take the contents of the belt and leave the belt itself behind.

That should take care of any bugs on the thing and we get to keep the goods.

>>26681041
Check the bike too, could've bugged it when they were huddling.

>>26680948
Can Volt cause a electromagnetic pulse? A small one might be able to fry any electronics on the belt and we can check our bike just in case.

>>26681112
An emp could damage the bike's electronics and we don't know what it would do to the orb's electronics.

>You pull to the side of the road and get out the utility belt.
>It looks a bit more basic than a lot of the utility belts you’ve seen, especially from some of the big name superheroes.
>You empty the pouches, stuffing the contents carefully into your saddlebag.
>You find little in the way of actual expensive utilities, only taking a swiss army knife, a cutting torch, a carefully coiled set of rope, some kind of device with a screen, and in the adjoining pouch, a set of three black devices with a few claw on the bottom.
>Interestingly, though the belt is devoid of many utilities, what it does contain are small rubber balls filled with a black powder.
>You count four black ones, three white, and five red.
>You have no idea what they could be used for.
>Running a hoof along your bike’s frame, you feel a bump that shouldn’t be there.
>Getting down on your back, you get a good look at it.
>It’s another of the black devices, a red light blinking faintly.

>>26681258
Melt it.
In fact, melt them all, in case she can activate them remotely.

>>26681281
Actually, better idea.
Melt the spares and attach the one on the bike to another vehicle.
They can enjoy a wild goose chase for touching the bike.

>>26681258
Ha
Time to ditch them

>>26681258
We got the complete set. test out the tracker and then see if we can disable the device without destroying it.

>>26681258
Check the "some kind of device with a screen." It might be a gps for the tracking device

>>26681316
>>26681334
This

>>26681258
If she was a smart hero she probably has a laptop at home or something that can find the trackers too besides her gps in the belt. Maybe we can keep the inactive ones and use them for our self. Never know when it'll come in handy.

We can have tink set it all up for us and clean them so they don't send any signal back to the original owner.

>>26681303
This, let's just take the active tracker and put it on to another ride in particularly one that is going far far away.

>>26681415
If she had a tracker at home what would stop her from activating the ones in our home?

>>26681415
I doubt trackers are so hard to make that keeping hers is necessary. If we really want some we can ask Tink about it.

>>26681471
>>26681484
The point is to disable them before then or fry them out and fix them later.

But sure we can just keep the device and burn the rest just in case.

“A-ha!” you say, ripping the bug off of the bike.
>Voltage looks at you, impressed.
>“Damn, well-spotted, how’d you know that was there?”
“Call it intuition.”
>You pull out the device and turn it on.
>A logo flashes across it, turning into a vague map of the city.
>A light green dot sits right in the middle of the dark green screen.
>Two dots – one orange and one red - flash next to the green one.
>Confident in how the screen works, you take the active bug and search it, turning it over in your hooves.
>You find a button on the bottom of the device.
>You push it and nothing happens.
>Pushing gently on the top and bottom give no further results.
“Ah well. Let’s send them on a little goose chase.”
>You sneak over to the street and find a tractor trailer backed up to a garage.
"Perfect."
>Sneaking underneath it, you attach the bug to the undercarriage and wave goodbye as the truck pulls off.
>You return to your bike, again looking over the bugs.
>Pretty sure that they could be tracked without the remote, you burn them all, melting them onto the concrete.
>Your work done, you stash the device into your saddlebags, as well as the other goodies.
>But what to do with the belt?

>>26681563
Ah just leave it

>>26681563
colorful belts are for faggots torch it.

>>26681563
Ask if Voltage wants the belt.

>>26681593
>>26681600
>>26681607
“Hey Voltage, you want this?”
>”Not really. This bright orange’s not for me, and I hate the stupid lightbulb in the middle.”
“You sure? You’re yellow, that’s kind of close, and you do electricity stuff.”
>”Nah, I like my outfit the way it is. Just leave the thing.”
>Agreeing that colorful belts are for those more inclined to lie with the same sex, you torch it.
>Your spree of destruction complete, you hop onto your bike and strap yourself in.
>Not looking back to the belt, you pull off towards home, feeling quite pleased with yourself.
>They were just some amateur super group, you never even doubted that you would pull this one out.
>You leave behind the smoldering belt, which smokes, pops, and hisses as it melts into the concrete of the alleyway.

Thank you all so much for playing, that's gonna do it for this week.
Unfortunately, prospects of running don't look too good next weekend, but I /should/ have some free time during the week to run, so look out for me in /cyoa/.

Other than that, if you have anything for me, ask away.

>>26681702
Did these guys roll poorly in the fight or were they a step under us from the start?

>>26681733
A little bit of both. I powered them down because you were both tired, but both you and Voltage really well and they rolled really, really badly.

Like, 90% of their rolls were under 5 on a d20 poorly.
