He wasn't going to act at night for this, he wanted the biggest bang for his buck. The police of Emerald City had thrown in their lot with the mafia. It was a bloated and festering den of corruption and cowardice. Greed and wastefulness. The guardian's of this city had proven themselves to Gilgamesh to be unworthy of their position that they enjoyed. Nothing but bottom feeders suckling at the tit of the worst this city had to offer.
Well he was the cure for the rot and he would purge the unworthy from this city until his thirst for blood has been quenched. He didn't care or know which of them were guilty or not by action. But all of them were guilty be association and the existence of the thin blue line that they all held made it clear to him that they were all on the same team. They'd never see justice, and so he'd be more than happy to settle for vengeance.
He didn't have a plan going in. This wasn't a long planned assault, and no recon was done before hand. That had failed before, this time he was going in head first. He'd have to think on his feet and react accordingly, but this could be his greatest challenge yet. The mighty Warrior King was about to assault the stronghold of the corrupt and evil magistrate.
Objective: Obliterate the corrupt entity that is Emerald City's Police Force.

Osiris had nothing against the police. Sure, they were more than likely obstacles that would eventually attempt to pursue it at some point or another, but thus far, they had mostly stayed clear of the metallic super. That in itself would normally mean that Osiris would leave them alone, as well.
But not today.
Today, it had decided that law enforcement needed to be weakened. Tearing into the police force would allow it to work fairly unimpeded in the future, and thus, it simply walked up to the side of the station’s parking lot and fired a beam into the wall.
Support: Destroying the police will make future operations in the area considerably easier.

Normally, during the light hours of the day, Blue Jay could relax. Find a nice rooftop, read the news, ponder what topic he was going to chose for his next essay; he had found just such a rooftop not to far from the police station, as it were, and had expected to have an hour or so to relax and pretend like this supplemented the amount of sleep he’d been getting recently.
It was probably a bad idea to sit so close to the police station. Blue Jay had an… interesting relationship with the police. On one hand, he’d been the one to stop the super who had killed many of the armed forces about a month ago. On the other, not too long after, two police officers chased him for quite a ways, tried to shoot him, and then shot Aurora in his place. Personally, he had nothing against police officers. They were necessary, generally helpful, and a good many were good people. He would be entirely willing to work with them, if they would let him. They just seemed to have quite a lot against the whole being a super thing.
Even so, he could feel pretty safe in this proximity - two roofs down - from the station. If he was spotted, he could simply teleport away, no harm no fowl, he’d just find another sunny spot.
It wasn’t so much the worry of them spotting him as it was what he spotted walking- directly into the police station. A hooded figure. Gilgamesh; he’d looked up the guy’s name after the dragon attack. Even distracted by his own fighting, Blue Jay knew that guy had been one of the main forces against the beast and was no laughing matter. Beside him was a second person whom he had never seen before, but could only assume to be a super as well.
Supers, especially Pandaemoniums, did not just walk into police stations for friendly hellos. Blue Jay drew in a breath. This wasn’t happening again, was it? He really, really hoped this wasn’t happening again. Once was far more than enough.
Blue Jay jumped to his feet and teleported from the rooftop of the building. The police force might not like him, and they might shoot at him even when he was trying to help, but they did not deserve what this Pandaemonium with hate in his eyes was planning.

God. This was bad. This was awful. As soon as Titan heard the sudden news, he ran as fast as he could. If it had been anywhere but a police station, he would have approached this with more calm. Titan knew that he worked in a different station, but what if...dammit, it wasn't helpful to think like that! He didn't even care if the other police officers shot at him, all that was on his mind was getting there as fast as he could. His heart was pounding in his chest, and he wasn't sure if it was from the physical exertion or the nerves causing it. Perhaps it was both.
The scene was as bad as the radio had said it was. There was a gaping hole in the wall, and who could imagine what was going on inside? He vaguely remembered what the report had said; one of the attackers wore a long black hooded coat while the other was some sort of metal man. The latter was an unknown, but the former...it was no doubt Gilgamesh. Titan had seen the man's brutality first hand at least twice at this point, but he never took him for a cop killer. What the hell was going on?
There was some form of relief when Titan spotted a familiar face also heading towards the station; Blue Jay. At least he wouldn't be alone in the fight. Nodding at his comrade, Titan started to make his way inside. While maintained a cool facade, there was a feeling he hadn't felt since the dragon attack. The fear of losing someone. He hoped to God he wasn't inside. Titan knew that Gilgamesh wouldn't discriminate.

Ever since the situation when Giovanni was murdered, the police had been on high alert lately in reinforcing the security in the city. With his death, the whole balance between the police and crime had shifted in a quite problematic turn. Since it failed its mission in keeping Giovanni safe and alive, HaLOS concluded that provoking the police would further complicate the whole situation. This is especially importance for the Keeper if they wish to gain some control over the police force in the future.
So when HaLOS hacked into the police department’s security camera, it saw a familiar hooded Pandaemonium charging into the building. Beside him, another robotic figure also located nearby seems to be aiding his assault. It’s seems that Gilgamesh was planning on attacking the corrupted police officers along with the other officers who get in his way.
Usually HaLOS couldn’t care less about these people’s lives, seeing how they’re only play as some annoyance obstacles that get in its way to complete its mission. However, the police still have some use for the Keeper’s overall endeavor for world domination. Not to mention helping the police officers now could be proven to be importance for the future missions and unpowered’s view on supers and the importance of their influence.
That, and HaLOS was quite curious about this new robotic unit moving around. It wondered if this is another AI, a battle-combat suit over a human being, or just another slave for its human master. Staying a distance away from the police station, HaLOS used its wireless modem in order to hack inside the police department’s security system in order to scan all the possible entry and exit points, creating a 3D module of the whole building. With the map of the whole place scanned out, HaLOS activated its robotic body in order to jump in the fight. During it scans, HaLOS can also detect two other Bulwarks near the vicinity, Blue Jay and Titan. This intrigued HaLOS even further; it had seen their teamwork combine together to fight a dragon, so this would proven to be a useful information gathering mission.
OPPOSING: the polices are still being my potential useful pawns, and I would like to see your fighting pattern

Now, normally Awenydd avoided situations where she was likely to get shot; bullets were inconvenient and blood when you wore leather, or pretty anything. It was inevitable when you startled normal people and they had weapons, and cops? They were liscensed. No defending against that part of the situation.
So when she saw Gilgamesh with a fiery rage in his eyes and the robot before together, her interest was piqued, right up until she saw where they were headed. A police station. That was begging for all kinds of trouble, and word had already begun to spread about something happening earlier involving a known (and ignored) mafia boss. Connected, then, or random rage attack? Either way, it was going to get messy.
All the more reason for her to go along with them. The bloodbath that was sure to ensue didn't sit well with her, not fully, but this wasn't her plan tonight, and she wasn't exactly walking away.
SUPPORTING: The ensuing bloodbath is going to be Metal As Fuck. Plus, she's good at helping. When she wants to.

When Gilgamesh entered the police station the results were almost immediate. He was well enough known that they knew what he could do, and who he was. Several officers drew their weapons yelling at him to stand down and give up. But that wasn't in the cards for him. Not today, and probably not ever. It just wasn't in his nature to give up without a fight. And so he zoomed forward, predicting where and when they would fire as he moved from officer to officer. Breaking arms, disarming guns, and otherwise being brutal for this, his possible last stand.
The explosion in the wall drew all eyes, his own included as a robotic form burst in through the wall drawing more police fire away from him. Osiris' own recent actions cementing him as a threat to the officers, which suited him just fine. It left them with no good option to ignore.
However he'd let out an angry growl spotting the familiar Bulwark shapes and low and behold. The robot that was working against his attempt on Giovanni's life. Here to protect his allies? With more Bulwark present. Seemed every time he saw this robot Bulwark were helping it. From the paint rampage in downtown to now. Time after time, it had become abundantly clear that they worked together, and if they were fighting for this corrupt institution then they would just need to be squashed as well. Like a rotten vegetable beneath his heel.

The scene beyond the wall was one Osiris mostly expected. The police were alarmed and hostile, as they should be, and bullets began to slam into the field around its body. Yet, despite this, there seemed to be others present as well.
One was the female it had seen before, who had aided it against the police as well as the monstrous supers that had tried to stop it. It was almost as if she’d taken it upon herself to act as a guardian angel of sorts. That was a thought that was fairly distressing to the metallic figure.
The rest were not as recognizable. The hooded man who was surrounded by broken policemen, two masked men who seemed to instill hostility from that hooded figure, and what appeared to be some sort of robotic construct. Of those, there was only one that seemed overtly against the police themselves, and thus, only one would be met with something other than hostilities.
“Destruction imminent.”

Already the night was punctured with cries of pain and dismay amidst the cracking of bone. The chorus brought a small smile to Awenydd's face as the rampage began, though she knew it wouldn't stop there. Her gaze flicked over those within, knowing normal people probably weren't likely to stand strong without something up their sleeves. No, she was more concerned with other people discovering the ruckus and--
Of course. Bulwarks. Awen's eyes lit up at the sight of those coming to oppose them, not out of recognition or friendliness, but the fact that the night had been made even more interesting. She counted one, two, no three. Another waited on the rooftop, keeping a distance for now. From what she'd seen of her current companions, that wasn't such a bad idea. But wouldn't that be something, to be a hero and watch as destruction happened around you while you did nothing but sit on the sidelines?
“Looks like this got kicked up a notch.”

Blue Jay teleported to the front door and found two had turned to three - a second Pandaemonium, possibly third, depending on the robot, had joined in what he could only see to be senseless harm and murder. Some people liked to complain to him that the minor crime stopping he did was of no greater help to the city besides driving up hospital costs. In much the same way stopping a few robbers was not going to do much for the greater good, Blue Jay could see no reason to kill cops. What were they hoping for? To lessen the strength of the police force? More would come; in greater number, with greater hate in their chests for supers. This would only prove to the city that stronger forces were required to stop supers. That’s what happened last time, it would happen again.
He would have fought against them alone if he had to, but with good luck it seemed that would not be necessary. Blue Jay was happy to see his friend, even if his tension from the current situation didn’t show it. He returned Titan’s nod. It was reassuring to have a strong ally to fight alongside; this would be a fight where both time and the people they were trying to help would be their enemies. That robot, HaLOS, appeared to have arrived as well. Blue Jay didn’t care for the Keeper, but other matters were very much more pressing.
Already he could hear the sound of bones snapping and gunfire. Blue Jay’s sword was already in his hands. There was no hesitation in his actions; this needed to be prevented as soon as soon as possible. There was no time to hesitate.

When the sound of gunshots and pained screaming rang out of the police station, Titan's pace unconsciously quickened. His imagination assaulted him with horrible images as he ran through the front door. He never felt his heart pound like this before. It was a primal terror that threatened to overcome him. No. He had to push this feeling away and remember what made him put on the mask in the first place. If that feeling overwhelmed him, it was all over. Everyone inside that station was as good as dead. He had to be the hero he aspired to be.
Gilgamesh was flanked by the metal construct and another super who had joined the fight, one that brandished a guitar. Titan didn't notice the robotic figure that had decided to align itself with the two Bulwarks, he was too focused on his adversaries to pay it any mind. Glancing to see Blue Jay with him, Titan grew to 15 feet, roaring as his bones cracked to draw attention away from the cops. He didn't know why Gilgamesh was doing this and he didn't care. All he knew was that he had to be stopped.

HaLOS scanned the area around it to identify all its potential opponents and allies. So far there’re two Pandaemoniums it recognized: Gilgamesh and Aweynn, two Bulwarks: Blue Jay and Titan, and the unidentified robotic unit that also trying to destroy the police station. Titan made himself bigger in order to fight back the other, so HaLOS can at least leave the Bulwark to deal with the Pandaemonium.
Thus, it leaved HaLOS to deal with this new robotic unit before it:
“You over there, metal man, identify your unit’s name and state your business of being here, aiding this hooded male in destroying the police station.”
If this unit is another AI, then perhaps learning the unit’s identification number would help HaLOS in learning who build it. However, if it’s just a mind-less unit that being controlled by an outside source, then HaLOS might be able to detect the radio frequency that controlling this unit remotely. If HaLOS could apprehend the unit intact, perhaps it can used the design to improve its own robotic form’s blueprint.

The rushing was expected, the teleporting less so, but he was aware of his surroundings enough to catch the movement before it was too late. He stepped forward and spun to the side away from the first strike, narrowly avoiding it as he stepped into the guard with the second strike. his hand moving like his own blade against Blue Jay's arm to push it, and the blade away from his body. The mistake they made was not trying to fight him all at once. He didn't care if the others could hold their own or not. He'd just pick this one apart and move to the next. Simple as that.
"They really do."
