(Posting here to note that I made an error in the previous update. Titan has an immunity to Accumulation (Summoning) of sufficient level to make his Aggression (Confinement) against Osiris successful. I'm extending the deadline in order to allow new actions to be sent in taking this into account.)

Osiris would turn towards the other metal figure, not immediately moving towards it just yet.
“Osiris. The police must be eliminated in order to-“
Any further comments would cut off by Titan’s own actions, something that Osiris hadn’t quite expected. It had figured that the hooded man would draw enough attention that it would be mostly ignored by the other two, but… Evidently not.

The Pandaemonium female started to play her music, generating a cacophony of noise while Gilgamesh decided to challenge them by taunting. The other robot unit, which identified itself as Osiris, let lose a cloud of silver dust all over the place. The dust particle began to slightly interfering with HaLOS’ optic sensor, causing the image coming through them to slightly glitching out slightly. Of course as HaLOS was getting more data from Osiris, Titan decided to jumped in and restrain their arms, possibly stopping them from doing anything dangerous to the police.
“Titan,” HaLOs said to the super with its monotone voice modulator, “Osiris was talking, I would like to hear what it about to say before you rudely interrupting it.”
It then turned to Osiris and Gilgamesh; obviously Gilgamesh took his failure at assassinating Giovanni personal. It’s seem that Gilgamesh decided to go after those corrupted cops that might have work for Giovanni. Judging from his action, he probably doesn’t care if the cop he’s attacking is corrupted or not.
“Enough with your childish vendetta, Gilgamesh! Your faction’s action had already caused a shift in the power struggle between the law and the lawless. This unit will not allow you to cause any further disrupting to the balance of order and chaos.”

The rocking of his ears was more than enough to give Gilgamesh an easy opening to fully deflect his blows. Blue Jay found himself face to face with a planned murderer, telling him these innocent police officers deserved to die. The blasting song reminded Blue Jay that Gilgamesh was not alone in his efforts; all three, perhaps four, of these supers had come to fulfill this useless act.
Blue Jay clenched his teeth. “Why?”

When Titan neared his robotic adversary, the construct released some sort of vapor. Titan reflexively covered his eyes with one arm, squinting the rest of the way through. The intended effect on his skin was not as effective as the robot hoped, as he was a lot tougher than he was given credit for. His grappling attempt successful, Titan made sure to have both of his hands tightly wrapped around the warms to keep the construct in place. Out of the corner of his eye, Titan spotted Blue Jay confronting Gilgamesh. He hoped that he knew what he was doing, Gilgamesh was not someone to be underestimated.
Of course, someone seemed to object Titan's decision, when a metallic voice rang out, referring to the robot as Osiris. Titan merely grunted in response. Who was this? Or rather, what was this? Was it one of Osiris' friends? It certainly looked the part, given it was a metal man. But his words sent towards Gilgamesh told him otherwise. He was clearly here to stop this homicidal fit, but not for the same reasons as the Bulwarks, it seemed. Whatever its reasons were didn't matter at the moment, at least they had an extra pair of hands.

One thing was for certain: this lot knew who they were dealing with, at least on some level, and that was fine with her. The robotic man(?) on their side was a wild card to all, and it was fun seeing just which of them the others considered to be a bigger threat. Or tried to, as the case may be.
It was both surprising and amusing as the robot on the other side berated one of the men it was working with, chastising the hero wannabe on being rude, of all things. Laughter filled several notes of her song before it shifted from chaotic to aggressive. Moves were being made, people she fought alongside attacked, and that wasn't going to just be ignored.
"You should listen to your little robot friend," she called out. Of the two, they seemed to have the brains, and she didn't see much to concern herself with the boy demanding answers. Not yet, at least. He sounded very much like someone demanding to know why the world wasn't fair, and that kind of mindset was typically corrected soon enough by that same world soon enough.
She did have to wonder what sort of balance was suitable to the robot, however. At least it wasn't trying to preach at them.

   --- PANOPTICON Ver. 3.023 analyzing combat data... Gilgamesh uses BYPASS on Titan in order to remove his Aggression (Destruction) immunity. The subject's durability scales with his height, which means that he will not be able to use his full defenses in these circumstances. Accumulation (Information) by HaLOS against Accumulation (Summoning) results in SUCCESS, +10% combat advantage Accumulation (Summoning) by Osiris against Aggression (Destruction) results in SUCCESS, +10% combat advantage Aggression (Destruction) by Awenydd against Titan results in SUCCESS, +30% combat advantage Aggression (Destruction) by Blue Jay against Gilgamesh results in PARTIAL success because Blue Jay can ignore the immunity granted by the Accumulation (Summoning) Osiris used due to the equal-or-greater Accumulation (Information) HaLOS used, but is still suppressed by the target's lesser immunity, +15% combat advantage Aggression (Destruction) by Gilgamesh against Titan results in SUCCESS, +30% combat advantage Aggression (Confinement) by Titan against Osiris results in SUCCESS because Titan can ignore the immunity granted by the Accumulation (Summoning) Osiris used due to the equal-or-greater Accumulation (Information) HaLOS used, +30% combat advantage Awenydd Gilgamesh and Osiris have reached 80% combat advantage on a turn in which they successfully used Accumulation (Summoning), allowing them to take the OVERWHELM opening and win the battle. The defenders will have a hard time protecting themselves, let alone the police. All participants receive 10 Notoriety for their part in the battle! --- Analyzing possible outcomes... 1. Focus on tearing the station to the ground.
It will become a lot harder for them to police the area.
Effect: +7 Pandaemonium Prestige2. Focus on killing the officers themselves.
Some people might be displeased with this.
Effect: +90 additional Notoriety each for Awenydd Gilgamesh and Osiris As the one who started the scheme, Gilgamesh gets the final choice. |

He felt his blow land solid before a searing pain shot through the back of his arm, a shockwave pushing him away from Titan, though his footing remained intact. He'd spin to see the man with the sword, still keen on fighting him, but if that was truly his best. And with his back to him, then he was in a lot of trouble. Because even as the blood flowed from the fresh wound Gilgamesh slipped back into a fighting stance, his fingers hooking into claws as his smile promised death.
"Looks like you can choose your friend, or the police."
He imagined between his blow and his allies of the moment focusing on the giant man he was sure to fall. And today promised to be a bloodbath. The young Super would have to choose which allegiance meant most to him. The corrupt police force that kept the city festering under the thumb of crime bosses, or his masked ally. The strong in body, if not conviction Giant. He could only imagine that the robot grappling him currently would continue to do whatever it was doing, and he trusted the bard to give him one of those "face melting" solos that you hear about with Rock and Roll.
As for Gilgamesh, he was here for a reason, and to make the choice even more urgent he'd continue after the police that had begun to fall back. Bones snapping and blood curdling screams echoing through the halls as he ripped down man after man. Only blood would sate his need for vengeance. And if Giovanni was now beyond him, then there was nothing to do but rip down those that built him up.

HaLOS turned toward Gilgamesh once his rampaged on the police was over. It was very clear that they didn’t stop him in time. The Bulwarks sure are useless if they couldn’t even stop the Pandaemonium walking all over their territory like this. It is unfortunate that HaLOS didn’t really react in time, but at the moment this unit called Osiris is more intriguing. It managed to control the silver cloud from before and turning them into a spinning whirlwind of particles, similar to how Aurora controlled her aurora.
“Police casualty: 89%, inputting this data into algorithm, possible future retaliation rise to 60%. The hornet’s nest had been stir, preparing for possible consequence.”
HaLOS then turned toward Osiris once again:
“This unit required some answers from you, but it's seems that the situation had escalated. I will contact you once the chaos had settled.”
With that, HaLOS moved the robotic form out of the building; these new data it got from this new robot unit is quite intriguing to it. HaLOS need to find out more, and see if this unit could be of any use to it in the future.

Blue Jay looked between Gilgamesh, the police, and his ally. This wasn’t good - with the robot’s allegiances unknown, they were outnumbered and Titan had been hit. Blue Jay hated to admit it - deeply hated it - but Gilgamesh was right. He could stay and try to defend the police, risking his and Titan’s lives in a fight they were clearly going to lose, or they could run. It hurt but he knew what he had to do.
Blue Jay took a step back from Gilgamesh, sword raised defensively. “Fine.” He spat. He turned and shot a shockwave through the front of the police station. Maybe the opening would give some people the chance to escape, or alert more possible help to what was happening. Presently, it was going to be their way out, and they needed to take it, fast.
He sprinted to his much larger friend’s feet. Last time he’d done this, he’d been able to pick up the person he was transporting. Stronger than most or not, there was no way that was happening. He was really hoping this would work anyway. Making sure he was facing the door, with Titan between him and his exit, Blue Jay all but tackled Titan’s legs, and then he displaced.
It would work - insofar that it’d be enough to transport the two of them instantly outside of the police station. Blue Jay had been hoping to make it all the way to the rooftop across the street, a spot certainly within his range, but it’d taken them only as far as the middle of the street outside, about two feet off the ground.
He had to catch himself. But, even out here, they couldn’t afford to just sit there. “Come on, we have to get out of here.” His face was a mix of anger, fear, and a decision he despised having to make and hated himself for making. Even knowing it had to be made.
