Also, it's kind of funny just how much use we're getting out of that glove, considering our powers are based on an FPS...

Well, look at it this way, the melee attacks are usually among the strongest in most conventional FPS to make up for their short range, look at call of duty knives, they are a guaranteed one hit kill, the problem melee weapons usually have is being so close range, but we don't have that problem.

    Roll: 9, Tier 2 upgrades. Extreme Victory!

    Lung really isn't reacting well to you filling him with lightning. And not in the 'trying to viciously murder you' way, either. In the 'rocking from side to side and sounding woozy' way.

    Maybe those anaesthetic shots are helping, or maybe it's the new upgrades, but either way, he's barely reacting to you at all.

    "Dakka, are you in position?"

    You let out a pained groan, realising that Armsmaster probably missed all of that. "Yeah. He's pretty distracted right now."

    "ETA is 10 seconds."

    He comes around the corner on his motorcycle, a massive beast covered in all sorts of flashy Tinkertech, and pops a wheelie as he charges it along the street. His halberd is under his arm like a lance as he closes in, and he roars down the street towards the burning dragon-man.

    You hold onto Lung the whole time, and by now, the ABB leader must have taken a good twenty seconds worth of electro-shocking. You're honestly astounded he's still alive, let alone standing – these things pack a serious punch.

    Just before Armsmaster hits, you gather your feet under you and leap.

    The halberd crashes into Lung's chest, flinging him backwards, and then Armsmaster runs the motorcycle over the downed gangster as you turn in a graceful flip. You come down hands first, driving Lung back into the tarmac as he struggles to rise, your electro-shock gloves firing again.

    This time, he stays down.

    Armsmaster skids his motorcycle around into a stop, already dismounting as it turns, and starts to pull out some metal poles. You stay on top of Lung, who's still struggling weakly under your gloves. You really don't want the Dragon of Kyushu to get the chance to recover.

    You remember the only other time you've been near when he's been fighting. You could feel the street shake when he walked, and even though you were blocks away, you could feel the heat. You managed to get him while he was relatively weak, and you're fairly certain he's not going to let you get away with it, if he escapes.

    The metal poles turn out to be some form of restraints, which Armsmaster uses to lock down the captured gangster.

    "Good work." He claps you on the shoulder, once, and then starts to call up the PRT to collect your defeated foe.

    "Uh, who was he fighting? Are they alright?"

    Armsmaster points off in a direction. "Over there. Please check them, and take statements. Careful, I saw Undersiders on site."

    You nod and look where he's pointing. You're pretty sure that, after Lung, you can deal with the Undersiders if it comes to it.

    The person who was fighting Lung is a kid, or seems to be, at least. They're dressed in a costume, and probably have powers, so you approach them calmly.

    "Hey, are you alright?"

    Who is it?

    Reduced threat from common gang bangers!

    Do we want skitter, remember, this is the time that we can dictate skitters costume, or possibly even powers, depending on the write in!

    I was really tempted to do the Dhalsim one, because more range is always good, but I think we would benefit more from resistance for now.

    @Kadmus what is "How To Light Fires And Incinerate People"? Skill book like the Bakuda one? Perk? Achievement?

    Range is good, but just being able to touch people from even further away than we already can is not going to help that much compared to this

    Dat five levels, UNF! Time to upgrade our toughness status. We've got regeneration out the wazoo, but being a brick will make it easier for us to avoid that damage in the first place. I am, however, not convinced that Parian should be here.

    @Kadmus Will we ever be able to go back and pick old perks? Such as the Improved Explosives one?

    Besides the QM used 'they' as pronoun n.n

    Pretty sure that's a singular they, considering the previous sentence mentions only one person:
    The person who was fighting Lung is a kid, or seems to be, at least. They're dressed in a costume, and probably have powers, so you approach them calmly.

    @globalwarmth: I used 'they' in the (technically gramatically incorrect) sense of 'third person gender-neutral' rather than 'more than one'.
