(OOC: sorry about the delay, been really busy lately).
"Lets clear the last of the small fry so we can focus on the big fish." Arca-knight says before unleashing another volley of magic missiles targeting Overshadow and the last of his goons.
OOC: Magic Missile Massacre Maelstrom: Damage +10 (extras: area +1, range +1) based on what I did last round I should be able to target the last of the minions and still get Overshadow as well. If not then prioritize the agents.
Duking it out with the Shadow goons Sky Guard took note of their use of diversionary fire, creating openings for their heavy hitter to lay into Angela. With the cohorts disported he winged warrior moved to join the front line with the Guardian's melee brawlers. Coming in from the side he timed a strike at Overshadow's knee to put him off kilter, turned away from Angela at enough of an angle that it would become more difficult for him to strike at the android. At least in the short term.
Thinking about it after the roll, I should have used a Ready Action to assist the next person Overshadow attacked rather than Angela specifically. The Shadow Agent's telegraphed it so it seems fitting even if it does not pan out.
Overshadow steps back and focuses an energy beam at Angela. Skyguard's diversionary attack throws his aim off causing him to miss. The beam flies past her and disintegrates a tape reel bank.
"Perhaps you're only worth sending women to fight," Angela cheekily retorts. She doesn't even flinch as the laser slices through the air past her face and sends strands of fiber-optic hair flying. Rhetorical algorithms point out that to make this point requires accepting Overshadow's implicit judgment on the relative value of women and men fighters, but she likes using his own logic against him too much to care.
She judges that one, singularly devastating strike against such a foe is more likely to knock him down a peg than a death of a thousand cuts. With Skyguard distracting the villain, Angela uses her grappling-hook as a swingline to somersault off the wall behind Overshadow, coming at him from the back in an attack timed to coincide with Juno.
OOC
Angela will make a Team Attack with Juno against overshadow
I think the way this works is, if I recall: all the involved characters delay to the initiative of the last one to go (I should be able to delay into the next round to go right after Juno) and make an attack check against the target. The highest ranked attack that hits is the main attack, with a +2 rank bonus for each other attack in the team attack that hits.
A shimmer of light and an electronic hiss sounds from the platform opposite Overshadow’s dais and a group of eight more SHADOW agents appear out of nowhere.
Standing in front of them are two men, one white with a blond crewcut, the other black and bald with a short goatee. They each wear black and red uniforms and a single high-tech bracer on one arm, the infamous super-mercenaries: the Battle Brothers!
“Light ‘em up!” the black man yells as they and the agents charge into the room.

Everyone gets an HP for the setback.

"More for the party? Here I thought we be out in time for some beers and gumbo in a few minutes. Can't have everything can you?", remarks Kit as he opens two portals that blast out energy over the Battle Brothers that stream out energy from somewhere. Kit never bothered asking from where.
Going after both battle brothers with portal blast Attacks 10, 14 Rerolling to foil the horrible random number generator at orokos _: 1D20+8 = [13]+8 = 21 If it hits, thats dc 25 toughness for black man
Now that just isn't fair Taheka muttered to himself at the sight of the new arrivals appearing out of thin air.
Reaching deep down inside himself Taheka sent a plume of water towards the new arrivals moving his arms outwards to increase the area that the watery blast would cover.

Taheka will try to get as many of the new arrivals as possible inside the area attack.
"How many more of these worthless goons are they going are they going to throw at us?" Arca-Knight asks rhetorically as she watches Taheka wash away most of the wave of enemy reinforcements. "Well as long as they keep providing targets I'll have more magic missiles for them."
Another set of glowing mana bolts flare to life around her. "What was it they said as they came in. Oh yes. 'Light ‘em up!'" The bolts shot forward at the enemy.
