Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Rampage lets go of the car to prevent himself from being lifted up with the car, but did not react fast enough for the car's return trip. Dust gets kicked up from the car's crash into the ground. When the dust clears, the car is pinning the unconscious Rampage. ))

*teleports next to in a flash of gold*

"Will you be ok?"

"Better then most."

*looks around*

"The police have been informed."

"I go by the name Battalion. If you need me, just use your communicator on any radio broadcast. You are which of the Protectors? Bolt, correct?"

"You are unable to disable your power? That seems inconvienent.... And the only Protector?"

*looks down for a sec*

"So the rumors are true. Well good luck."

*disappears in a swirl of yellow and gold, during a quick bow*

Elsewhere, at about the same time...

Mistora, after having been released due to another promising mental scan regarding her intentions, finally has Infierno cornered. Or, at least, situated at the corner of a building. About seven stories up, on a ledge. She is down on the street, on the opposite side of the street.

"You know," shouts Infeirno, "I had great plans for you. You were going to be by my side."

"I was only in it for the money," Mistora tells him coldly.

"And what are you in it for now?"

"Redemption? Revenge? Take your pick. You left me to rot in prison, Infierno."

"Spilt milk," he replies casually. "It's all in the past now. I've found someone new."

Stepping from around the corner and into Mistora's view is a young woman with bright red hair, tanned skin and yellow clothing. She smiles, wrapping an arm around Infierno's waist.

"She has the power to heat things up," Infierno informs Mistora as he starts creating a ball of flame in his hands. "Not a terribly useful power all by itself, but when combined with an already present fire, it makes that fire hotter... more dangerous." As he speaks, the girl beside him holds out a hand. His fireball begins to burn with more intensity, the inside of the flame starting to burn an increasingly bluish color.

Infierno launches the fireball. Mistora puts up her water-shield, but the fireball is able to pass through it mostly intact, turning much of the water to steam. Mistora falls backward, screaming.

"You never could fight fair, Molly," says a voice from nearby. As all turn to see, another woman, looking very similar to the red-haired one, is standing near Mistora. Her facial features and clothing are almost identical, but her hair and clothing are blue, rather than red or yellow, and her skin is pale rather than tanned. ((Some may also recognize her from Protectors #212 as the girl Revenant and Wraith rescued from Femer labs.))

She holds up her hands, materializing two long, sharp pieces of ice. She throws one at Infierno and one at the girl next to him, apparently named Molly. Molly holds her hands out, the ice shard heading toward her turning to vapor. Infierno isn't quite so lucky. He surrounds himself with fire, but that doesn't eliminate enough ice to stop it from piercing into his side. He coils over, nearly falling from the ledge, but saved at the last minute by Molly.

"Me, Emily??" Molly retorts at the girl who is seeming more and more likely to be her sister.. possibly twin sister. "Your the one who can use your power on moisture to make weapons and such. How is that fair, when I need to find an outside fuel source to create flames??"

Infierno moans in pain, and Molly turns her attention back to him. "Can you get us out of here?" she asks quietly. He nods. She turns back to her sister. "This isn't over!" Infierno surrounds them both in flame, lifting them off the ledge and shooting away.

Emily walks up to Mistora, leaning down and offering her a hand. "You all right?"
