Eastern Heat [Citi Field East]

Nightraven had arrived at Citi Field. This was not the best place to be but he had seen heroes gathered here. Nightraven walked into the stadium stands and walked down swiftly not drawing any attention. "Oh you have got to be kidding me.." He said quietly as he looked around the stadium and saw about a thousand or maybe more flying around the stadium. Victor scanned the area and saw a young lady standing on the ground. He knew that standing there was going to make her an open target, so he was going to get down there and help her. Nightraven stepped up the stairs slowly before running at full speed and jumping out from the stands. He caught onto a sentry and ripped its head off sending it towards the ground. Nightraven steered the sentry into another causing the two to explode. He jumped off as the explosion happened and jumped onto another sentry. He threw that one to the ground causing a small explosion. As he headed towards the ground he drew his staff and did a front flip in the air towards the young lady. On his way down he slashed at two sentries knocking them to the ground. When he go to the ground he approached the young lady who had just started fighting the sentries. "Keep it up, name is Nightraven." Nightraven jumped back into the air slashing at the bullets a sentry was firing at him.

As the sentries decided to strike Ranger had just finished getting the transmision from Black Arrow. As he was about to reply the communicator was almost litteraly knocked out of his hand, because he had to dodge bullets and other things they fired. The speedster took off in whatever direction was clostest, firing off regular arrows at the sentries watching as they hurtled to the ground and sped after him trying to keep up. The only problem was he was trying to head north but his foot slipped and the klutzy speedster fell to the east twoards the stadium place. With a groan he got up and fired of an exploding arrow at a group of sentries blowing up twelve of them. "Black Arrow, checl how many of those damn things we're up against, I can't see your position now so I'm heading east of the building we were just at. Not where I wanted to be but it's where I ended up." He spoke to the Black Arrow, pressing down the button as he ran and then jumped down to the ground, using his gloves to stick to the wall and slide down. Upon landing on the ground he wipped his brow and downed a bottle of water thinking of the names of all the people he just met. The one girl's name intrigued him as her last name was Theils, Sophia Theils...Theils was the last name of Elena Marieif he remebered correctly and he usually always remembers names.

With a groan he got up and checked his surroundings, seeing no more sentries he sprinted off to the stadium that was in sight but he himself was invisible. He kept going as fast as he could notching normal arrows and taking out at least three sentries as he went. Upon reaching the actuall stadium he turned visible and listened to the girl who was giving out orders, the one who called herself Inferno or Scarletta. He simply nodded his head readying his bow as he was pulled off with her into the fray with a grunt. Only to then see her skin become molten lava and fire a blast of fire out at the sentries and he smirked. "Oh I can shoot..." he muttered notching a snare arrow out at one sentry, it notched and he pulled it and flung it around taking out three more just that way utntill it was shot apart. Only for him to notch another arrow readying it, God help us The Right Hand of Jesus thought.

Nightraven slashed down another sentry before landing back down to the ground. He turned around to see a group of heroes fighting off the sentries. Nightraven stopped fighting because the young girl had yelled something at him. "On it my dear." NIghtraven began running in a circle until he started surpassing normal human speed. After about 10 seconds he had created a tornado with 150mph winds. Nightraven started heading towards the military sucking sentries in with him and spitting them out in broken pieces. He ran around the tank carefully making sure he took in only drones and not the soldiers. "I am not even dizzy yet." While running in the tornado, Nightraven picked up a large piece of dirt and chucked it towards the sentries in front of the heroes.

A scenery of savage destruction surrounded the humble artist who called himself Taiz Treffalman. A peculiar sight, that of exploding robotic drones, lasers, firebolts and even exploding pumpkins. The heroes of Queens were gathered in the CIiti Field stadium in what could be considered a last stand. Unable to escape, the heroes fought valiantly against the airborne forces of Doctor Necrodium.

There I stood, silently gazing upon the beautiful scene unfolding around me. One-two-three, one-two-three, such was the rhythm of the battle, a rhythm that perhaps I would be able to work with eventually. Yes, that should work. Elena Marie, the witch, my current employer, tells me that now is my change to be heroic. Hmm, heroic? Ah! This was the moment, this is where I would reveal my power, my greatness!

Taiz Treffalman smiled, happy to have been given the opportunity to perform his concert. A concert of mass destruction. The power of sound was one not to be underestimated. At the right frequency and volume he could theoretically vibrate the robots's internal components apart, effectively neutralizing them. Theoretically.
But then there was also the problem of his teammates. An attack of such magnitude was sure to have some great negative effect on the human physiology. Of course, he could shield himself and those in the nearby vicinity from his powers, but then there was still that buffoon running around the stadium. Oh well, collateral damage.
By far the greatest problem was the composition of this concert. He could gradually increase the power, a crescendo culminating in a glorious climax, wherein hopefully a great amount of robots would cease to function. This all depended on how much reach such a powerful symphony would allow. Regardless, he would have to try.

Now all that was left was to find a suitable symphony to do this with. I'll not bore you with the science of this strategy, but to Taiz Treffalman it was essential that the performance be both effective and tasteful, so naturally the music would have to be chosen well.
While Taiz stood immobile, contemplating the specifics of the upcoming concert he was to direct, one of Necrodium's drones broke past the line of heroes and headed for Treffalman.

Gracefully he aimed his Sonic regulator gauntlet at the advancing death-bot and fired a beam of concentrated sound that could crush bones and destroy walls. Suffice to say the robot was out of order afterwards. Then when another broke through, Taiz decided to give his theories a test. He blasted the bot with a beam of sound at the alternating frequencies he had planned to use for his concert. To his elation and joy, the robot dropped to the ground, having broken from within. Now hopefully the same effect could be achieved at a larger scale.

Eureka! It struck me, Taiz Treffalman. The finale of Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture, which the original composer had intended to be accompanied by actual cannon shots. Glorious! So it had been chosen.

But first to alert his companions. To do this, he projected his voice in the air at a high volume that all in the stadium could hear. As always, he spoke calmly and politely and in a pleasant, soothing voice.

"Hello everyone, this is Taiz Treffalman speaking. Please try to stay as close to me as possible as you can for the following minutes. I will be performing a grand concert for our metallic friends, one I hope will simply have them bursting with joy. I would prefer---"

Another robot came a little too close for Treffalman's liking, so he shot it down with a sound-blast, interrupting his speech.

"Apologies. Such rude guests. Ahem, where was I? Ah, yes. I would prefer you try to keep our guests at bay while I conduct my symphony. It simply won't do to have me interrupted. Very well, I leave you with that. You may wish me luck, though I pray I shan't be in need of it."

I set to work immediately.

Taiz Treffalman began to move his hands around as if he were conducting an orchestra. At first, he would seem a madman for doing so, but eventually the sounds of the concert became reality,projected straight from the mind of Taiz Treffalman into reality. It was a magnificent tune, the 1812 Overture, of course, but that was not the dangerous part. The frequencies that accompanied it, and by far the loudest sounds, were inaudible to the human ear. Several robots already began to explode, especially when the cannon shots were played in the symphony. Taiz had done a great job at synchronizing his damaging waves of sound with the intensity of the music. True, it would have been more effective to keep it at a constant, and would be less of a strain on Taiz's mind, but it would not feel as artistically fulfilling.

The performance, though effective against the robotic swarm, began to take a toll on the conductor's body and mind after a minute or so. Taiz was growing visibly disturbed; the headache was becoming unbearable, and his entire body felt as if it were being torn apart. To conduct such a complicated assault at this scale was something he had never attempted before, and it was certainly taking its toll. He would not be able to keep this up for long.

(OOC: Those who stray from Taiz's protective area should be considered as being hit by Taiz's attack as well. Dangerous to those with DUR below 4, painful to 4,5 and 6. This attack will persist until the end of my next post.)

[[ OOC: Posting order from now on - Ember, Nightraven, Taiz,, Elena, Ranger - Arrow is joining in soon so I'll update this once he posts. ]]

((if you don't understand my post read Force's ooc one in Western topic))

The Ranger took a split second to look around and noticed all the sentries were destyoed in the stadium. He tapped Scarletta's shoulder if only to get her attention, "take a look." The King of Stealth spoke in his low, deep, soothing, yet stone like voice and then sprinted off to the loud sound guy at full speed. Once there he stopped and tapped him on the shoulder for good messure " Hey Taiz or whatever stop the concert the sentries in the stadium are all gone, you don't have to keep this up anymore." He spoke looking around though still no sign of Black Arrow, it confused him but he was not worried, not yet at least. If he new Stalker Arrow he was out there making progress or protecting them from something big, and either way he new what he was doing. Looking above at the 'heroes' in the upper stadium he got an idea and looked to the sound manipulator quickly explaining what he needed him to do. He told him that he needed to project his voice once more so they all could hear and explaine what Ranger told him. What he told him was this, "Okay, say that all the sentries in the stadium are gone and if my calculations are correct there are only 500 left of those things scattered about around Queens, we need to either split up into 4 groups of 3 and take them out or stay as we are now to do so. Got it? Tell them all to stand down, rest and think quickly because we need to move out and finish what we started, the best starting points would be the artillary stations help out the Army and Air Force in anyway you an. But our main goal is to take them out and protect the lives of any citizens still left inside." With that he stood and waited for Taiz to do what he said unknowing to him this was the ally of Elena Marie.

(OOC: Guys, I've been informed by Doctor Necrodium that we're not in the clear yet, at least not until he says so, and that we should just keep on fighting the sentries. So you guys might want to edit your posts based on this. I'll post this in the other thread too.)

NIghtraven placed his hands over his ears as he heard Taiz play that song that was really old. As he had stopped running in circles he sat on a tank looking up at the sentries that were left. "Seems we still are not done yet. Do any of you military guys have a sniper rifle that I could use?"NIghtraven turned around and saw a military guy loading a sniper rifle for him. When the guy finished he walked up and handed it to Nightraven."Gracias!" Nightraven laid flat on his stomach and brought the sniper rifle to his eye and began aiming at a sentry's head. Once he thought the shot would be good enough he fired it off, taking off the sentry's head. After taking down one he aimed for another one and shot that one through the chest. As he was shooting he heard the girl shout about this is just a break in wave. Nightraven looked around and knew that eventually they may get tired but for not it was best for them to keep fighting and see what happens. As he shot, he said a silent prayer that he would see another day again after this was all over.

(OOC: I apologize for the delay. I keep trying to write this post, but it just won't work for me. I'll edit this post into a real one when I do manage, but for now I'll just give a summary of what you can expect Taiz to do:
-Respond to Ember that a second song will have to wait.
-End his first attack, and be exhausted.
-Blast a few robots with his gauntlet.
That's it. Again, you have my apologies.)
