Atlas's vitals popped up in his helmet's HUD... And for once it surprised him. He had a few ruptured organs, every bone in his body was damaged in some way whether it be merely fractured, broken, or bruised, he had a sizeable pneumothorax, a concussion, his right ear drum had ruptured, had second degree burns on his back and legs, and his body was 80% bruised at this point... The list continued.
Although he'd received all of those wounds at one point in his life, he hadn't gotten all of them at once. Then again his suit was pretty fucked after fighting Mother, Heamet, and Alrick in succession, so he couldn't tell if he'd gotten more banged up then or here.
He was thankful that the titanium casing on his suit had held up well enough that it was keeping all his broken bones in place. He pried himself out of the man shaped dent in the shipping container. His one good ear picked up something he found odd in this situation: a turbine engine.
'Wierd, why would a plane...
Then he realized the sound was coming from a group of shipping containers to his left. His heart dropped as the front was blasted down. Out came a prototype tank that went missing from Agency R&D after a certain member defected. It was given the classification M1A3E4 after the Abrams it was based off of.
The difference between the prototype and the production Abrams was that it was coated in Starlite and amphibious... it was also aiming it's main gun squarely at Atlas.
Atlas ran as the tank accelerated, a 120mm HE round screaming past Atlas as he tried to find someone to use as bait... or rather help.-----Knights Fortress-----
Anthony continued onwards, his nerves slightly less calm after what sounded like an explosion reached his ears. Within twenty minutes of methodical work and accurate estimations, he had a viable cure, now all that was needed was a way to disperse it. Anthony sighed and facepalmed as he figured something out, "The virus is being dispersed from the WTC. We could probably disperse the cure the same way. I'm gonna need another ten minutes to make enough of the cure for it to be effective, but we're pretty much done at this point."-----North Brother Island-----
Shannon shook her head, she thought of something to say in rebuke, but she couldn't think of anything. But something did come to mind, to maybe, just slightly explain her actions.She'd only introduced herself as Chrono to everyone in the past three days, perhaps it was time for a change, "My name is Shannon Carmichael, and I'm the cause for Arlen's empowerment." She didn't know what Hyper's reaction would be but chances are that he'd know the name Carmichael and he'd understand that Arlen was her fault, "Now I believe we have an abomination to kill."-----Long Island Sound-----
Abel simply stared at the place that NUMB was, "Right... He can teleport.... Shit."
With an automated sigh, he unclasped a few buckles on his armor, revealing not a human body, but a shaped charge secured within the armor. Pulling it free he clasped his armor closed and put the shaped charge on the floor. He dipped below the liquid fungicide and started setting up the explosive.
Sound echoed through the water as the shell of a man spoke, "Oh hey, Arlen! Can the big red angry blob I'm gonna be trapping do anything of note?"
His voice changed pitch, "Oh no, Abel. All he can do is absorb bodies and be a fungoid."
Shaking his metallic head he sighed, "My non existent dick." He pressed a button and the charge exploded as the room filled with fungicide. The shockwave from the blast would've killed a man, but without an organic body, Abel was fine. Dipping through the hole, he sunk to the bottom of the sea as the Yacht started to sink.
Iroquois stood up shakily as the tank appeared. He clambered up onto a shipping container, laying flat against it until it came close enough. When it did, he'd leap onto the top of it.
When it drove past, aiming at the strange man, he lept onto it. He held on for dear life, and began searching for a way into the raging war machine.
