Giza has to admit, he didn’t expect this many supers show up in the anti-supers speech out at City Hall. He saw many familiar faces and some new supers as well. Obviously a Bulwark will eventually arrived and ruin the show, this time it’s a female super who pulled out a black sword from the smoke she made. Seriously, what’s with all the Bulwark and sword-wielder? The Pandaemonium only have one, and she’s off doing something God-know-what.
Standing near him is that weird robot unit that Gil might have talked about during the time he go on a police killing-spree. Not really sure if this thing here to make more chaos like the last time it help with old Gil, but Giza doesn’t really care. He looked around and was sort of glad some supers actually shared the same feeling that they want to express to these ungrateful naïve citizens.
He saw the mayor is trying to get away in his motorcade, but he was glad that Miss Aurora was already heading there to stop him from running. Seeing how some of his teammates are already have the crowd handle, he turned his attention back to the Bulwark before him.
“Language, lady; at least show some manor in front of the crowd,” he taunted her, “Don’t think that just because you’re a girl mean that I’ll go easy on you.”
Giza gets himself ready; it’s about time for some sweet Pandaemonium payback for all the humiliation the other supers had gave him lately. He’ll see if this robot near him is with him on this or not; either way, he’ll show them how they shouldn’t have messed with Giza Kadabra.

It was happy to let the others chase after the mayor and deal with the crowd. Both options seemed to be more effort with the same amount of gain. Instead, Osiris would stay where it was, standing near the original instigator as well as the first who had stood up against him.
If anything, this would be a proper example to any others who would think of opposing Osiris.
"Stand down or be destroyed."
It lifted a hand towards the female, palm out in a clearly threatening manner.

Nemesis brought her left foot back and entered a more natural stance. The combat intuition usually worked best when she cleared her mind and let the eye-patch do all the work. Allowing herself to be distracted by the chaos nearby would only lead to her defeat.
In practice, ignoring her surroundings proved to be a challenge all its own. The screams of the terrified crowd below constantly pulled her attention elsewhere. A certain asshole martial artist had found his way here, but he wasn't worth paying any attention to. Their grudge match could wait until after these civilians were safe at home.
Eliminating the mastermind behind this attack seemed like the best tactic in order to end this quickly. Fortunately, there were a few supers around to help protect the civilians. A part of her was glad to see others sane enough to understand the pointlessness of this little tantrum. So far, though, they all appeared to be villains in their own right. Nemesis felt a brief pang of disappointment at the realization there aren't any heroes around, before returning to the task at hand. The current situation prevented her from thinking too deeply. For now, it was better to assume something else important was going on in the city. One of these days she ought to make a conscious effort to spend time with her supposed allies.
The nearest enemies were clearly trying to intimidate her, but she didn't bother to listen. Under no circumstances was Nemesis about to give in to the demands of terrorists. Gathering up the rest of her courage, she tried to stare down her faceless opponents. “Do your worst.”

It was obvious that making the stage covered in a thick layer of ice isn’t has much effort to the female Bulwark. At the very least, it make her moving around the stage a slight more difficult thing to do right now. She decided to ignore him and went after that weird robot over there with her blade. The blade started to grow longer as it glowed and swing toward the robot, but the hazy silver cloud that it sprayed at her face might have cause her to lose some concentration as she swing her blade wildly.
He turned his attention onto the crowd behind him for a short moment; it’s seems that the other are having quite some trouble dealing with those annoyance. He wanted to lend them a hand, so he better deal with this Bulwark quickly so he can lend his aid to the other. Seeing this robot unit is currently fighting against the Bulkwark, Giza shrugged; there's no point of looking at a gifted horse at its mouth.
“You know lady,” he said to Nemesis, “you Bulwark need to learn to stay out of someone’s business. So just as Miss Aurora always said: we’re done playing nice to you people. I guess I’ll just have to be the one to teach you a lesson.”

The floor turning to ice barely slowed her down. She could always repair the ground in front of her before it became a problem. Unfortunately, it didn't matter, as the robot's dust spray looked threatening enough to discourage continuing her advance. If the dust only wanted to blind her, that would be fine. Eyes weren't needed to see where everyone was standing. . . but who knows what else is hiding inside that dust cloud? There's weird powder stuff that can poison people or burn her face off, right? Even if she would survive, avoiding the attack in the first place sounded smarter.
“blah, blah, blah.” The words of the hypocrite magician barely had any effect. These terrorists' actions already managed to upset Nemesis, and there wasn't any further anger to devote towards hating them. Whatever lesson he intended to teach her had already been learned. The Bulwark were all too soft if idiots like him thought they could get away with this. After today, that would need to change.
If he didn't have anything nice to say, he shouldn't say anything at all. Nemesis discarded her sword and left it to disappear. An aura of black smoke surrounded her, as she forged a new weapon. A longer reach should prevent the earlier dust problem from repeating itself, so she decided to create a tall spear this time. Nemesis pointed the tip at the dumbass magic man's stupid mask. “Shut up already.”

Osiris was far from the talker the other two were appearing to be. It was, however, fairly pleased that its maneuver had slowed the opposing woman down from pressing her attack, and thus, ruined her momentum.
It was about to ruin much more.

It all happened so fast. She expected to continue trying to strike the dumb magician, but her body had other plans. Before Nemesis was consciously aware of the attack, she began to dodge the first round of spears. A slash of her own weapon took care of one she couldn't entirely avoid in time. They'd have to try harder than that if they wanted to actually hit--
Another warning tried to warn Nemesis of an extra spear rising from the ground, but even her power couldn't see it coming in time to get out of the way. The ice cut into her right arm, and the burning pain motivated Nemesis to keep moving. She didn't have time to rest; more were coming.
Once this was all over, she could see about getting some proper treatment. Her spirit was already beginning to numb the pain so it wouldn't be as distracting. As much as she actually hated the murder robot, he just stood around barely doing anything. Magic Man needed to get knocked out first.

As soon as Giza notice the blade that Nemesis swing toward him, the silver cloud particle that Osiris swirl around her head, doing all they can to distract her swing. Using that opportunity to his advantage, he jumped out of the blade’s trajectory and barely landed on the stage without being slip by the very ice field he made.
“Hah, looks like someone had been skipping their sword training classes.” He said to her, “How about you skip the foreplay and come at me with what you got? Even Birdy Boy put up more of a fight than this.”
Soon his communicator rung up and give him a good new: it appeared that Miss Aurora had managed to apprehend the mayor’s convoy. The crowd’s still running around, and Sanduleak looked like he might be having some trouble dealing with that weird bag super and Limen. Not really sure why Limen would tried to stop their protest on these super-hating people, but he’s certain Miss Aurora will give her a scolding for this action once it’s over.

As always, Osiris was happy to let the two others battle physically as well as verbally. It didn't have the history the other two had, who seemingly knew each other to some extent. It did, however, have a desire to put an end to this battle as soon as possible so it could deal with the mayor's security.
"Stay still."
Osiris' voice would finally ring out after the two others had finished speaking, and it claps its hands together once.

This front is secured for Team Teacher. The inability of the city's heroes to defend the event will be noticed. The supers here may now join other schemes (but not other fronts of the same megascheme).

The dust cloud blowing up in her face only slowed Nemesis down for a second. She was determined to land at least one blow during this fight, but her most recent punch had been blocked by a giant ice wall. Her fist stung from hitting something so hard, although soon that would be the least of her problems.
Several shards of ice embedded themselves into her back. Nemesis lost track of how many after five pieces. She attempted to stay upright, but was having a difficult time controlling her legs. Most of the feeling in her lower body had vanished, and the rest was quickly degrading. It would be easier to accept her loss and fall down already, to get this over with.
Crashing into the icy floor hurt more than expected. Time to add a concussion to her list of injuries. They eyepatch's power already dulled most of the pain, but there was no way Nemesis would be getting up any time soon.
With her condition at least stabilized, her attention drifted back to the idiot criminals that must be nearby. Her failure to stop them from assaulting the mayor hurt more than any injury. This pain was only temporary. Whatever sick plans Pandaemonium had in store for the innocent civilians could potentially harm the entire city. Dammit, she joined the Bulwark to help people, and to prevent situations like this from happening, but where--
Hey, now, no more getting distracted. This was not the time for complaints. Save the disappointment for later, hopefully for a time when she wasn't at risk of bleeding out or getting attacked once more. The black smoke surrounded her body as the healing process began in earnest. Next time, she promised, would not end like this.
