[] Take out Symphony and his friends first. They're the ones that did all of this, the sooner they're taken care of, the better.
[] Blast them away, leave nothing left. They made their choice, now they need to know the consequences. Even if you don't want to show them.

Four weak powers or three great powers.

Basically weak as in Telekinsis and great is Alex's gravity manipulation.

[X] Focus on getting the civilians out. They're what's most important. Once you get all of them out of harms way, then you can deal with the threats.

Saving lives is the priority, it is always the priority.

[X] Blast them away, leave nothing left. They made their choice, now they need to know the consequences. Even if you don't want to show them.

That being said, if these rabid dogs show their fucking faces? Put. Them. Down.

What will change the fact that when we are occupied by civilians. They blast us with them?
And attacking them in the city is going against protecting the civilians. A fight between high-tier capes will inevitablely lead to collateral damage.

Honestly I'm hoping we can get enough folks out of there before they show up that we can at least defend who's left.

Barring that I don't want us pulling any punches when it does become time to throw down.

I refuse to allow this to become some bullshit Joker Batman scenario where we let a mass murderer stay alive because of 'due process'.

When you pull a damn hellsing the only correct response is a bullet to any and all vital organs.

Presuming we can find them.

We've got civilians right here in front of us and god knows how many still struggling to stay alive in the rubble.

We need to focus on getting them safe first and foremost and only focus on engaging these rampant fuckwads when and if they appear.

If we're lucky they've pulled an S9 and ran, giving us a chance to save more lives and then hunt them down later, if we're not then we simply need to stamp them the fuck out when they do show up.

Beyond the fact that Alex is probably the least stealthiest flier in the world right now, it's not hard for people to see him with the naked eye.

Along with that, the robot that was destroyed was tinkertech, so someone knows that you're here.

It's not that you can't find them, they will find you.

During the Worm timeline the fourth is constantly devoted to maintaining the Endbringers. Apparently losing that slot was probably misinterpreted as part of him losing his powers.

[Dark as Silver]

Can be persuaded on this but Atlas offers the best powers for evacuation. Eidolon came packing powers for fighting Symphony so it'd be a waste for him to load a new set. Alexandria . . . well SV doesn't have great opinions on superstrength for being able to do stuff, Alexandria as a fighter however we do have respect for.
Legend is the most variable, his Lasers do a lot of stuff so I could place him in either group, however what I'm prizing here is his ability to travel at light speed effectively allows him to be anywhere in London at a moments notice.

[X] Split up the group, make a team of fighters and a team that will get people to safety.
-[X] Civilian Team
--[X] Atlas
-[X] Battle Team
--[X] Alexandria
--[X] Eidolon
-[X] Legend acts as reserves his speed lets him get to wherever he needs to be and his lasers have a wider variety of powers to react to more situations than any other bar Eidolon.

[X] Lead them out of the city, get as little damage to the surroundings as you can manage.

 

[Blonddude42]

I guess the big question is if Atlas thinks he go straight for the kill. If he is, his powers can easily past some of them if we spike gravity to really high level on them. If used wisely they can even be some of the least destructive options we have. Can't decide if crushing, space launching, or lances of force would be the best method for him to use though.

Anyone willing to compile a force composition? As long as we can target them without them hitting us with something dangerous, we can take them all out. The only one I really remember is the really strong brute that's jumping around. For that guy, I'd say the best way to deal with him would be for us (Atlas) to launch him into space -- unless we've got someone with a death ray it's gonna cause too much damage to beat him down, and I don't think we can safely drown him. Granted, I don't know if we can safely get him high enough up that we can launch him into orbit or even failing that, get him high enough he dies from oxygen deprivation before landing.

Lets see what I can remember, expect heavy use of spoilers in order to try and make this readable.
Symphonies team (In the order I remember them):

Spoiler: WoG line up

Spoiler is messing with maximum qoute length. I'd suggest following the arrow to the full comment.

Symphony, Onslaught, Inferno, Crystal, Tempest, and Drone.

Starting in the back, Drone is a tinker that specializes in remote-controlled systems. He can't personally operate any of his tech without having his hands on the controller so to speak.

Tempest is a shaker with weather manipulation, limits and ranges are going to be elaborated on later.

Crystal is a barrier cape, take as much as you want from that.

Inferno is a pyromancer.

Onslaught is, as of right now, an Alexandria package without the flight and a sub power. Inferno is the only member besides him who knows about this power, so, unfortunately, you don't get to know about this yet.

Finally, we have Symphony. And I've got to say, @BurningSaiyan hit the nail on the head in regards to him.

Click to shrink...

Spoiler: What I've gathered

Spoiler: Symphony

Symphony, aka Richard : Possses the Stilling shard, a bud of Scions preferred power. Known uses of it are:

• Frequency manipulation used to create the effect of an orchestra and create destructive resonance in a coffee cup.
• Shooting fuck off beams.

I expect him to have some kind of defensive power, potentially the fuck off beam reacting to incoming projectives, a fuck off force field or managing to destroy bullets and stuff with the same frequency manipulation that destroyed the coffee cup.

Spoiler: Crystal

Crystal, aka Sarah aka

Sharah

Click to shrink...

:
Some kind of barrier cape. I feel we should have more on her powers but I actually can't find a description or dimension for this

The crystal dome and the majority of the damage is still a few miles out, but given how quickly you got here, it wouldn't take long if someone wanted to get here.

Click to shrink...

Symphony raises a hand and snaps. A shockwave of golden energy flashes out of his fingers, striking the ceiling and turning it into nothing, exposing it to the crystal dome above.

Click to shrink...

Which seems like something that IKN forgot to mention as I didn't know it was there until I was researching this. @IKnowNothing what can you tell us about the size and location of the Dome? Large enough to contain the Houses of Parliament but by how much?

Spoiler: Onslaught

Onslaught aka Michel: Brute, travels by jumping, likes Knights a little too much. Since the WoG qoute above seems to imply that theres more to his power than being a shit Saitama theres room for speculation. Momentum manipulation ala Assault or if his strength was best applied in bursts would be my best (albeit totally uninformed) guesses. Expect to find this fellow along side...

Spoiler: Inferno

Inferno, aka Olivia. WoG is all we've got on her, in story she shows up with Onslaught when he lands and then leaves when he jumps off.
We have this by implication

Over the buildings, fires rage, turning a nearby park into an inferno. In the distance, skyscrapers topple over like children's toys.

Click to shrink...

however it's unclear how much of that she's controlling, if she's still there, and how much of it is just fire spreading.

Spoiler: Drone

Drone, aka Why do I do this to myself, aka seriously I can't even do this by process of elimination because Sarah isn't on this list

Finding Michael, Olivia, Hammond, Elizabeth, Jason

Click to shrink...

Only action so far has been to control security systems of HoP.

"Drone, lockdown the building. Crystal, make sure no one gets close,"

Click to shrink...

Spoiler: Tempest

Tempest, aka same problem as before. Is the only one that IKnowNothing appears to aware that he's being coy about rather than thinking pyromancer is a sufficent explaination. We've got this:

"Right, I've got Crystal and Tempest here. Tempest's been doing her little dance for the last few hours. According to her, we can start the second you hang up."

Click to shrink...

And thats it. So I assume that she's a capable rain dancer.

@IKnowNothing Did Sarah's name change from Elizabeth at some point?

Well it doesn't sound like most of them are brutes, so we can probably just crush some of them, Alexandria could break them, and Legend might have problems with some of them though since he shoots rather that smashes.

Bad guys take priority, this guy can kill thousands in an instant, let alone the support give by his team, we need to proactively stop further deaths by taking them down hard and fast. We can move to assisting civilians immediately afterward.

It's not a terrible plan, I just don't feel confident enough to split someone off of the offense. The faster the bad guys go down, the faster we can keep people from dying and the city from entirely burning down.

Hmmm, Atlas is the second weakest member of the team in a fight according to WoG and Legend would still be on hand to help so its only taking a relatively small amount of power off of the offensive team.
On top of that, we don't have to worry about being on offense,

Beyond the fact that Alex is probably the least stealthiest flier in the world right now, it's not hard for people to see him with the naked eye.

Along with that, the robot that was destroyed was tinkertech, so someone knows that you're here.

It's not that you can't find them, they will find you.

They're not going to accept us helping people so I expect Alex will get in a fight anyway.

[X] Alpha strike Symphony. Once he's out of the picture you can all help civilians without worrying about being sniped by that damn beam.
-[X]After Sympothy's death, Atlas prioritizes evacuating civilians, Alexandria and Eidolon hunt the remaining villains, and Legend gives support to whoever needs it the most.

[AnotherSetOfEyes]

Wait, isn't Eidolon kitted out for rapid mass transport right now? Putting him on the battle team would require him to charge up new powers.
If that's the case, I vote

[X] Split up the group, make a team of fighters and a team that will get people to safety.
-[X] Civilian Team
--[X] Eidolon
-[X] Battle Team
--[X] Alexandria
--[X] Atlas
-[X] Legend acts as reserves his speed lets him get to wherever he needs to be and his lasers have a wider variety of powers to react to more situations than any other bar Eidolon.

[X] Lead them out of the city, get as little damage to the surroundings as you can manage.

Alexandria and Atlas are fantastic as a tag team, Atlas can just cut loose without having to worry about friendly fire (once they're out of the city, that is), while Alexandria can tank whatever threatens Atlas.
Legend's the fastest flyer on the planet, having him as rapid response just makes sense. I suspect Symphony will start going after the evacuating civilians when they're pressured, and Eidolon's powerset right now doesn't lend itself to fighting.

If Eidolon can switch his powers to be more useful in a fight, I'll agree with Dark As Silver's plan:

[X] Split up the group, make a team of fighters and a team that will get people to safety.
-[X] Civilian Team
--[X] Atlas
