EM Metropolis

[Gands]

Metropolis. The city most held up to symbolize the American dream. Liberty and Independence, Delaware's motto. Held tightly to by Metropolisians (or Metropolites, the terms are in about equal use).
A city shaped by its savior, Superman. A symbol of how one man can accomplish anything, and do the right thing, despite the outside pressures of the world and opposition.
Not that Metropolis doesn't have its dark side, it's ugly side. Many of its villains sit in glass skyscrapers, enacting their evils from inside of board rooms and on conference calls
There's a dark side to Metropolis. It just gets a new coat of paint and some shiny chrome to hide it.

quotes

It seemed like a buffed up larger version of Ultron, definitely a finished model was approaching and the others parted for him.

" Ahh, a finished and practically new model, how delightful. When I am finished with you my dear, you will make, or I will make you a perfect bride. "

Horrible laughter echoed in the room.

The action within the factory was hot and heavy. Down in the tunnel especially. The situation was crowded and loud with not much room to maneuver. At one point Ben Grimm goes down with a crash. Dianna, Star Girl and Spawn closing ranks. Each now having to push themselves to their limits with the sheer number of semi finished Ultron's. James too is now having to work hard to keep he and Felicity from being hurt badly.

The motorcycle veers left to right as her tires tear through the metal of the Ultron, and with the sound of tires screeching they are on their way out. Moving right through the path formed when the prime Ultron approached them. The Ultrons try to give chase, some even fire at Arcee. But in this form… she's faster and way more maneuverable than her main humanoid form. But she knows the ranks are closing in, and she's not totally sure she'll be able to make it to the exit…

"Hey Simon! You're powered by Ionic Energy, right? Hold on for a boost!" Stargirl veers off, pulling as much energy as she can from around her through her staff, causing Ultrons to fall left and right as their power cores were drained. When she caught up to Arcee and Simon - not easy she was fast! - Courtney tapped him on the shoulder with the staff and let it discharge like a capacitor. She knew it was nowhere near enough to overload Simon having personally witnessed his power levels going into this - so she was confident that it wouldn't just conduct through him and into Arcee ( who she was pretty confident could take a little direct power feed anyway ) to give him the jumpstart he needed.

Felicity Smoak and James Hunter

Felicity heard what Tony said and nodded. It was good that the local internet was sealed off. Hopefully, she could hack some more and find a way to disable the ultrons that were trying to hurt her friends.

James was careful to keep his shield up, but it was exhausting. He used his explosive powers to try to give a small blast to get them away from. Holding the shield was dangerous, but he hoped that it was enough to keep them safe. There was no way he could lose now.

Snake Eyes

Snake Eyes looked all over the control room for whatever it was that he was supposed to be looking for. Before noticing on one of the camera feeds of the situation in the area where everyone was fighting. Seemed that the head honcho had arrived in person to join the fight. This wasn't good. Did this mean the mission was to be aborted? Should he pull back before the inevitable swarm overtook his only way out?

Then, out of nowhere, he heard something shuffling in the vent. With skill, he sneakily made his way to near the vent. Waiting until whoever was in there came out. When they did, Snake Eyes reached and grabbed the person. Pulling them out and to the ground. Within a second, his sword was drawn and pointed at the throat of the vent dweller. Albeit, taken aback at the green skin and giant head. "Snakes, is everything alright?" Tunnel Rat called over comms. It was natural for his comrade to regularly check on him. Afterall, he was mute and a condition like that warranted such check ups.

With a free hand, but not moving the blade nor his eye away from the person infront of him. He beeped a message back to Tunnel Rat. "Snakes is wondering if it is time to pull out. Also, he found someone coming out of a vent. Green skin, giant head. Ring any bells?"

A dragonfly came buzzing towards Spawn and told him, through a mental link, of what is happening to Arcee. Spawn focus his mind towards what lives beneath the ground and area around him, like rats and insect; He Orders them to dig towards where Arcee is and create tunnels to collapse underneath the leader, the villain, and his minions.

Detroit
Abandoned Auto factory.

Snake eyes would notice that the smallish green man with the long oddly shaped head had inside his hands the missing part that Arcee was looking for. With all of the fighting and destruction in here, perhaps it was time to take his prize and get out.

Between Star Girl and Arcee, Simon Williams seemed to be back in it. Arcee's movement was both fast and somewhat confusing to the half built Ultron Drones. Just as the master Ultron was about to blast the three of them, Ultron seemed to find himself covered in bugs of all types. This to him was a most irritating thing that delayed his plans.

Just then, a crash through the roof and a battle cry.

" Have at thee you overgrown Toaster "

Hercules and Terry had arrived at the party. As the Olympian crashed into the main Ultron the floor beneath the gave way beneath them. They landed in a brawling dust ball not far from the group in the tunnel. In that group, Wonder Woman and Spawn had just gotten Ben Grim back among the conscious while James Hunter scrambled to keep his charge safe. The brilliant young woman in question, with the Stark tech in hand was working wonders in the Ultron net.

Felicity Smoak and James Hunter

Felicity continued to work as many wonders as she possibly could, being careful to avoid the blasts and stay behind him. She did notice that the younger man wasn't holding up too well. He seemed ragged and out of breath. She hoped he would be okay.

James took a deep breath and held his shield. It was harder and harder to do, but he could do this. Nobody was going to die on his watch. He hoped he could sustain enough of it to not lose his head over it. God, he hoped he could hold it.

Terry McGinnis/The Bat of Tomorrow

"Sorry to drop in unannounced." He couldn't help but quip, it was something he did ever since he had taken up the mantle. When he and Hercules had literally dropped in, he had the Batsuit's wings activated to ease his landing.

As he was descending, he noticed Arcee with someone riding with her. All the while, Ultrons swarming around her and her passenger. Wanting to assist, Terry activated the thrusters in his boots to give himself a boost over to where the duo were under assault from the Ultrons.

Once within range, Terry aimed with the Batarang Launcher on his wrist and fired four projectiles. Two hit separate targets, but the other two embedded themselves into a single Ultron. The Batarangs began to beep before exploding. Said explosions created a sort of dust cloud that made Terry almost think he had taken them down. His hopes were dashed as the Ultrons he had hit with the Batarangs were now heading for him. They were damaged of coarse, but were still in working order.

But at least their attention was on him, hopefully lessening the pressure on Arcee and the person she was transporting.

However, he now had four new problems coming after him. Turning, Terry once again used his thrusters to boost himself away from the incoming hostiles. Using the environment and enhanced agility, he barely managed to dodge the attacks from his pursuers. Not wanting to have these guys on his tail and force him to use more of his already short supply of gadgets to fend them off.

He looked for a way to get rid of these guys the quickest way possible so that he could assist the others. Deciding that it would be best to simply ask for assistance. "Hey! Got four of them on my tail. Need some help!" He only hoped that someone would quickly dispatch of the Ultrons on his tail. As he couldn't keep on dodging forever...

Snake Eyes

It would seem luck had smiled upon Snake Eyes. The main reason for why the group was currently in danger for, was now infront of him. Snatching it out of the hands of the stranger, and putting it into one of his side pouches. He was going to pick up the stranger, but before he did that. He made sure to put restraints on the green man. Afterall, Snake Eyes didn't want to give him a chance to escape or anything of the sort.

He quickly beeped a message to Tunnel Rat. Whom conveyed his message. "Snakes got what you guys are there for. He is going to try and exfil. Suggest you do the same."

With that done, he picked up the green man. Carrying him, piggyback style.

Snake Eyes backtracked along the path he had taken. This time in a sprint. Afterall, he was carrying a person and a vital item. And his arms were preoccupied with carrying the man. So he didn't want to isolated from the others while in such a state.

Eventually, he was back in the area where everyone was currently fighting for their lives. Deciding to go around to avoid being targeted. Snake Eyes wished that luck would once smile upon him in this endeavor...
