Family Affairs, Cont.
Kristoff woke, very sore, head pounding. He was out of his armor, his hands restrained and locked behind his back. He hadn't ascertained what kind of lock yet, because he was busy noticing the other compartments. Separating everyone via transparent plastic was fairly...classic. He spotted Vincent first, apparently well; Kristoff was actually grateful just to see him even under the circumstances, with all he'd started to fear...
Cassandra, too, though she didn't seem to have regained consciousness, seemed essentially unharmed.
There wasn't a fourth compartment. Instead, outside any of the plastic confines, standing next to his own armor, was Andrea's body. And set beside Cassie was Andrea's head.

The Skrull's powers weren't his own. He didn't have the time with them that their true wielders did. His attacks were telegraphed.

Vincent released his sustaining of the light spell, it would fade momentarily, and raised both his palms forward. He wasn't as adept as his parents at energy channeling, but he could more than manage. He swung his arms out to each side, sending the blasts into the walls of.. wherever it was they were. Collateral damage and smoke were more valuable than striking directly for the moment.

	Andrea could not, would not, allow Vincent to be harmed. Not when she could prevent it. Reacting almost entirely on instinct, she dropped the invisibility shield as she shifted templates, her arms shifting into orange rock. She was, fortunately, close enough to drive a fist home to strike. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	T'g'rt took the punch hard, but not too hard, thank you Ms. MacPheran. He staggered, but only slightly before starting to whirl back towards her. Kragoff. He wasn't doing Kragoff right now, he should switch. The thought left him even more distracted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh he did not just... When this was over Cassie was going to have a talk with Vincent about when it was a good idea to try and knock the walls down and when it was a very bad idea.

Instead she grew to as large as she dared, coming up right behind the skrull and grabbed him. Whatever powers he copied she should be able to hold him still long enough for someone to get a good hit in. She hoped.

	Judging by how he'd reacted to Andrea's punch, a great deal of force would be necessary, So given Cassandra's opening, he stepped forward to take a pointblank shot with the repulsor; keep him from getting his bearings at least, even considering his apparent durability.

	As the Skrull staggered, Vincent teleported himself into his path, reaching out to touch his face; his spells' power was boosted by physical contact. "SLEEP!" As he made eye contact with the Skrull, he completed the somatic gestures with his other hand, casting a strong an enchantment as he could under the circumstances. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Turning his face away, trying to shrug it off, T'g'rt fought the compulsion towards sleep hard, but his eyelids started fluttering. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	T'g'rt, still struggling against the spell, lights up a last burst of electriity throughout his arms and shoulders to get that accursed female off of him and lash out with his remaining energy -- and superstrength, at the accursed children in front of him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cassie was expecting something like that but no matter how expected it is you're never prepared for a surge of electricity flowing through your body. Cassie yelled and her body jerked and she fell as her muscles contracted and locked in place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cassandra!" Kristoff grabbed her, pulled her further from the skrull, and just held her for a moment. What parts of his brain bothered thinking of things other than her at the moment figured Andrea and Vincent could probably finish getting him unconscious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This game is over." Vincent struggled to keep his temper in check, but dove forward, dodging a flailing attack. He grabbed the Skrull by the face, jerking it's head with every bit of his Asgardian strength until their eyes met again. "Fall into deep sleep, and do not awaken this day." The spell energy surged forward through his gaze and his touch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The rock arms faded away and Andrea's face took on a look of concentration as she created an invisible force field, wrapping it around the Skrull's neck to make absolutely certain his head was held in place. Good riddance to bad rubbish. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He tried to struggle again, but between the two of them, it was no use. This time he passed out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh that stung. "I'm O.K." Cassie tried to get back onto her feet. She was still a little wobbly. "Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2009-06-17 04:05 am UTC (link)
	Kristoff made an attempt to give her a little space to steady herself without actually letting go or ceasing to steady her himself. "All right," he says eventually. "We need to find out where we are and get out, and I do not think we should split up while we are unsure what else may be in this place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrea put her hand out, palm facing the ground, fingers spread. "As a team, then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent kept a hand on the Skrull's unconscious form, reinforcing the spell for good measure. His other one joined Andrea's. "I'm reccommending decapitation. I can put together a life-support apparatus for it,--" probably "-and it should keep him largely disabled." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Even as Cassie put her hand in she said: "No, Vincent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff sighs as he sets his on hers, but smiles at Andrea, a sucker for tradition and happy she invoked it. "Reactivating the restraints, putting them on him, and getting out to investigate the rest of the structure will be efficient." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-06-17 05:10 am UTC (link)
	Andrea gave Kristoff a small smile in return. "I believe Kristoff is correct," she said, reluctantly, strangely hesitant to contradict Vincent. "Regardless of what we do, we should make haste. I have noted that many villainous structures have a tendency to collapse when their master is incapacitated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-06-17 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Vincent dismissed the criticism, moving on. "I don't recall Skrulls being too big on the pyrric self-destruct mechanisms. We may actually be able to commandeer this locale, if it's a vessel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cassie crouched and grabbed the skrull, looking for anything he might have had on him. "Then let's get moving." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Once it's ascertained that the skrull has nothing of particular interest on him and has been restrained, they go ahead ans leave the room, to find themselves in a small corridor, winding to a few rooms with displays. Some are in English. Kristoff raises and eyebrow. "To 'get into character,' no doubt. Most of this matches what's known of Skrull designs, on the smaller end of the scale." He looks it over. "We are still planetside. It is...just about midnight, no more than 20 hours since he got me."

	An expression of comprehension, followed by horror, washes over Vincent's face, as Kristoff relates the time. "Oh no.... it could have been that long?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
