En guard? Blue Jay didn’t have time to question the odd battle cry as the swordsman of the trio went right for him, weapon raised. He hardly had time to draw his own sword, let alone enough to properly block. Passion’s first strike caught Blue Jay’s upper right arm, the only thing he’d had time to attempt to shield himself from the blow with, leaving a slice in his sweatshirt and a gash in his arm. He let out a yelp, more out of surprise than pain. Passion had seriously attacked him?! Nor did he seem to be going easy on him. Metal blades clanged quickly against each other like windchimes as Blue Jay began to back up and deflected the rest of the super’s blows, wielding his blade solely with his dominant left arm. The wound on his right was beginning to well with red.
“What are you doing?!” Blue Jay yelled. “We’re allies! Can’t we- can’t we talk about this?!” He kept his own blade in a defensive position against the other swordsman, not making any attempts to strike back. This had to just be some big misunderstanding. The trio was just jumping to conclusions - he could understand wanting to act without knowing the full picture if one feared tragedy, but they hadn’t even bothered to ask him what he was doing! He hadn’t broken anything, he hadn't hurt anyone, hell, he hadn’t even drawn his sword before Passion came and attacked him. He would hope these three, who considered themselves what, pure and peaceful, would be a little more trusting in their allies.

The surprise was evident in the passionate virtue's eyes, but well hidden on the rest of his face. He had expected the Bulwark to block the relatively simple swing. That wasn't even a humble statement the swing was wide, ah but his passion was too intense for it to be blocked. How unfortunate, Purity always told him to calm down during a battle but it was so hard.
"Apologies my hopefully soon to be ally, but you must understand that the chance to fight a fellow knight wielding a blade such as yours is a rare opportunity, the fact that this duel is also to follow the justice which we trust is truly a blessing."
Passion was keeping up the onslaught of blows, he would channel the passion of this encounter into them and hopefully change the confused Super's mind back to the path of honesty. Besides the sooner their exchange was finished, the sooner he could be healed so they could have more fair and honest duel than the current one that was caused by the unfortunate circumstances of battle.

Freeflow was unsure of what kind of relationship one of his masked friends here had with the other, but it sounded like they had been friends before hand? Regardless, it wasn't his place to care at the moment. Theae three were interrupting something they knew nothing about. In this case, Freeflow was only taking back what already belonged to his people. "Think what you want! I'm just taking back what is already mine! If you continue gettin' in my way, I'm going to drop all three of you!"
Having disconnected the engine car and exploding it, he had at least caught one in the explosion. Freeflow might not have intentions of killing them, but he was surely going to make them regret choosing to interrupt. Jumping upwards and back, he would look to land upon the top of the traincar.

There was a small scream of surprise as a train came barreling through Peace's body, but she was able to keep her emotions relatively under control. The car simply passed through her lack of being, hurtling back towards it's true target. Even without turning her head she could see who it was, but the interactive form seemed to do so on instinct any way. "Purity!"
In an instant she was by his side, eyes wide in horror as her teammate had to pick himself up off the ground. How could they have done such a thing? What if the car had hit him dead on? Purity was strong, but to do such a thing willingly to another human being was outright cruelty. "Are you okay, my friend?" She reached out for a moment to brush her fingers against his, head angled toward the ground with the beginnings of tears in her eyes. Where their hands brushed, she didn't simply phase through him. There was something solid there. "I should have been keeping an eye out for you. If either of you were to get hurt..."
With a sharp intake of breath, she shook her head sharply. There was no time to be thinking about such things! If she had let him down before, she could not let that happen again.
"I swear to keep my friends safe." A determined look eclipsed over her face, the hand once again becoming completely intangible. "You can count on me." In the blink of an eye, Peace was gone.

HaLOS strategy doesn’t seem to work when the trio seems to get out of his back-lash. Just in time too, when it detected an incoming large object coming at its direction, HaLOS managed to maneuver its way out of the train cart that just got thrown from the rail by the mercenary. The train cart exploded right at one of the trio Bulwark. Amazingly, the supers still seems like he can continue fighting on.
Blue Jay obviously isn’t willing to fight his own Bulwark teammate; HaLOS isn’t sure why he would get himself involve in this kind of situation to begin with. Obviously he’s too busy focusing on defending himself against his Bulwark friends to be any importance.
“Re-calibrating system, new strategy requires. Recording battle’s method on these new Bulwark supers for future encounter.”

He would be forever grateful to Peace for protecting him as he did his best to restrain the terrorist that was attacking him. But Purity could have told him from the start that he would be no match against their virtue! And sure enough nothing could stand in the way of true justice! However, that meant that they had only one choice that they could make. He would have to trust in his friends to ensure that the others were taken care of while he undid the damage that was done. Raising his arms up, pointing toward the debris from the exploded engine. The pieces and parts would begin to move back together as if moving in reverse until the engine and train car was reformed as if it had never been damaged.

The man who had started it all caught Peace's eye in the fray, his hand edging towards a pouch while leaping. Peace could see every moment and process it in milliseconds, the man's attention zeroed in onto Purity as he reached for what was likely a concealed weapon. No. She'd already sat by while this villain had propelled a train at her friend, and would let no more harm come due to her own inaction.
In a single swift moment, every flickering copy of herself had gathered in the space between Purity and Freeflow. Their movements were somehow both conflicting and in perfect synchronization, blocking the shot as well as she could. Peace could see the intent, and all it would take was a twitch of the hand to one side or the other. With just a simple miscalculation, ignited by her quick work of the situation, the small ball bearing would go wide.
The battle was already over, so soon after it began. It was easy to tell from the shift in energy, all of her copies standing firm as they spoke in unison. "You will not do harm to the city as long as we are around. If it was truly yours to have, such a careless show of force would be unnecessary. You'd be guilty on that front alone."
Next to Bluejay, a quieter voice could be heard. There was no one to be seen, nothing to be felt, but the words came as if spoke by someone right next to him. "The three of us will like to speak with you later," it said, calm but confident. "We've been concerned about recent gossip, and seeing you help a known Keeper only deepens the worry."

Passion had become slightly worried, taking steps back with each blow from the whistling sword Bulwark, it was quite impressive how many blows he was landing. Though he could feel something within, a shift in the battle which determined it to be in their favor, the clones of Peace had appeared and disappeared instantly but their presence was reassuring enough for him to regain his calm.
"I apologize my friend but it appears my compatriots have determined that this duel is to end this instant."
He let go of his blade as soon as Blue Jay struck it again but his right hand had flowed to the hilt of the unwavering rapier right behind him, which he quickly pulled out and thrust toward Blue Jay, not hitting him but keeping the threat there.
"We shall a chat and continuation of this later, for now I suggest you leave."

HaLOS can already tell thing isn’t going well: Blue Jay got defeated by one of the Bulwark trio, the girl started to multiply herself all over the place, and that blond-hair human managed to pin down the mercenary with bright light while fixing back the train cart that the mercenary just threw at him. Paying no attention to what the girl said the most boring speech that if HaLOS have a stomach, it would gag.
With that being the case, HaLOS transmitted these three’s ability data to its mainframe in order to analyze the potential method to deal with them, should it encounter them in the future, meddling in something they don’t understand again. Once it did, the robotic unit turned and quickly make its way out of the scene before law enforcement appeared.

Blue Jay felt as though he was making some headway, but, when the blade finally did fly from Passion’s hand, it was not because he’d landed a good hit. Confused as to why Passion would chose to disarm himself, He realized a moment too late that Passion had let go of it purposefully for a second blade behind him. Blue Jay froze, swordpoint to his chest. He dropped what had been the beginning of his next swing.
“Fine.” He said irritably. He slid his sword back into the sheath over his shoulder. “If you guys want this train so badly, I have no reason to fight you.”
There were several odd things about what the voice he recognized as Peace had said, but working with a Keeper? He’d been vaguely aware of another super taking part in the fight, but he’d been concentrating enough on blocking Passion’s blows that he’d only gotten glimpses out of the corner of his eye. He didn’t think the guy he spoke to when he first arrived was a Keeper - he was pretty good at keeping up with super news, and if the trio knew something about a super, he was likely to as well. Had the other person here, then, been a Keeper? If they had, Blue Jay certainly hadn’t been working with them. Not intentionally.
Now, however, it was time to depart. He cast a wary glance at Passion, half expecting to be attacked out of nowhere again. He took a step back, turned, and teleported from the top of the train.
