Poughkeepsie Attacks!!!: Team Civic Center

[gone_byebye]

The Mid-Hudson Civic Center is quite possibly the most mundane-looking building in the city of Poughkeepsie that does not actually have a McDonald's sign on it. To the ordinary eye it looks like an ice skating rink with an awkwardly constructed concert hall of some kind attached.

To the eye of someone practiced in sensing energies of good, evil, or the like, the place is radiating something very definitely not Light Energy- although Light might have been here once before it got twisted.

To the eye of someone Tyler's age and interests, it looks like there's a major World Wrestling Entertainment event scheduled to take place on the premises tomorrow.

The thugs weren't prepared for the light, and several of them are cursing and pawing at their faces when it fades. Of the more alert ones, one only has time to notice the eyes before WHAM he gets kicked into the nearest row of chairs. The two in the forefront snarl, exchange glances, and lunge at the space where they assume their intended victim still is.

Ultraman Mebius is considerbly more physically powerful than Mirai, but that power comes at a cost.

He leaps over the two, using their heads to hold his hands as he springs over them, then kicks backwards at the one of the left.

His next step is to do a cartwheel to the right to avoid incoming attacks.

These are still humans; he isn't going to use the Mebius Blade on them (well, maybe on their weapons), and certainly not the Specium Ray.

"What the- OW!" cries the one on the left, just before he goes down. The one on the right curses (rather well, really- something about Power Ranger wanna-bes) and shouts, "Werner!"

Werner is one of the ones who was supposed to get and use the weapons. Werner was a defensive lineman when he was in school. That didn't last long- the school part, that is. Werner was... not really the sort of person you want to represent your school anywhere.

Werner's going to attempt a flying tackle despite the fact that the shouting guy is going for a roundhouse kick to the weirdo's side.

Ultraman Mebius jumps up, and the first actual sound he's made can be heard: a word of some kind, 'SHUWATCH!'

He doesn't come down.

However, shards of light do, from where he hovers, aiming at truncheon-like objects of various sorts. Best to take those away from them as soon as possible.

This?

This is the part where the bad guys start screaming.

... okay, swearing. But still. That's about what it takes to get it through their skulls that maybe, just maybe, they're in over their heads.

And now Mebius drops out of the air, his right leg extended and the heel glowing as he does one of the trademark attacks of his sensei, Ultraman Tarou: the Shooting Star Kick!

Right at Werner, in fact, who seems the largest, blockiest and bulkiest, and therefore the most likely to not dodge.

If he had movable lips right now, he'd be smiling.

[gone_byebye]

Werner's not big on the dodging, no. Especially not when he gets caught that hard with somebody's foot. He folds pretty much double with the sheer force of the impact and tumbles ass-over-teakettle down the arena aisle, grunting and making 'oof! oof! oof!' noises as he goes- right up until he smashes into the arena stage, at which point he just makes the sound "Gnnnnh!" and goes quiet.

Mebius, meanwhile, lands on both feet, then takes up a combat stance: left leg slightly behind, left arm forward with fist balled and right arm above his head and bent at the elbow so that the blade of his hand faces forwards.

His entire stance says 'I am so ready for you'.

The lights in the eyes, in his chest (still a steady blue) and on his left wrist glow in the dimness.

[gone_byebye]

Yes. Yes it does. And so do the stances of the remaining men.

... for all of three seconds, because it takes them that long to turn and run like Count Rugen.

Small shards of light go past them, very VERY closely, as if to say, "yes, good, keep running". Encouragement for their new dedication to physical fitness, as it were.

Once they're pretty much out of the way, Mebius turns, and reaches out. In this form, his senses are considerably more powerful, and it may be easier to work out where that surge is coming from. He almost appears to be breathing deeply...

...and the blue light on his chest turns red, and beings to blink with a 'bleep' sound.

[gone_byebye]

If it helps at all, he's got a pretty good heading right now- back in the locker rooms...

[ultradreamer.livejournal.com]

Ultraman Mebius shimmers with gold light, collapsing, shifting....


...and Mirai is back, a little winded. But he has that sense, and he's running to find out what's going on!
