Computer Lab Mayhem [CLOSED - CAPACITY REACHED]

According to plan, their assailant was out in the open and surrounded. Whoever this kid was, he had been extremely arrogant to think he could take on the three of them at once. Pix waited for Cheshire to sneak a killer blow, when the guy threw something and it began to rain.

“Oi! Watch the monitors!” If anything short circuited in this room Hugh could kiss his arsenal bye-bye. Electricity didn't mix with his ability, so he began liberating the last pixels from their glass displays before they could succumb. At the same time a number of the squares formed a makeshift umbrella over him. He didn't much appreciate water either. Every pixel that was soaked lost its diodes, rendering them without light and colour. Very frustrating.

Speed Demon came under attack, and Pix was all ready to offer a solution to the problem when he realised he was also under targeting brackets. The ninja was fast! There was little time to spare before the first blow hit. A chop struck Hugh exactly where intended, only some of the power was lost as it passed through his neck, taking a chuck of pixels with it. The HIVE student stumbled backwards. His umbrella construct inverted itself and came to rest behind him, allowing him to tumble back into it.

What he needed was to regain distance, so the platform on which he sat pulled him up and away, trying to make a gap. Pix himself directed two streams of pixels between the fighters. There wasn't any time to make a solid shape out of them, so he'd settle for distraction. You know, distraction while those teammates of his got their game in gear.

As the damage to his neck reformed, he registered what Cheshire had shouted with a look of irritation. (-_-) He didn't even have time to be sceptical, for the crystal man charging through a wall made it quite clear who had come to save the day. Oh hell.

The umbrella inverted once more, throwing Pix clear of the Titan. He landed on his feet, for a second. The floor had no grip and he slipped over into a puddle, “Ugh, I'll fight back in a minute.”

OT: Rain's post???

His enemy has been trying to avoid Rain with powers of his own. A clever move in of itself, but truthfully, Rain's attack had not caused much damage. His equipment was lacking. His water had done more then his attack did. When his enemy went for distraction, Ryuko conjured up a new strategy. It was his idea to see how much his current enemy would be affected by water. And furthermore, his two other opponents had problems of their own.

''One cannot escape from water. Leave this place before it will consume you.''

Rain's words were probably a lost cause, meaningless words against this computerized foe. However, his opponent had granted him an opening. The puddle had reverberated with the pixelated impact, but after this, they kept rumbling and moving about violently.

To avoid interference from the other HIVE, the speedster, Rain had tried to suffocate in water. Without a moment's thought, the Water Ninja grabbed another ninja star and as if it was the most natural movement ever, he threw it towards his speedy opponent, like Zeus chucking a bolt of lightning towards his foes.

As the bladed throwing star zoomed through the air, Rain had the water around him stand up and give him a boost towards his opponent. As if he was ice-skating, Rain launched himself towards his opponent, all the while raising the puddle he had fallen in, higher and higher. He imagined Pix must have been in quite a surprise, as the puddle suddenly shot up and engulfed him.

As Rain shot up, a spur of water pushed him somewhat higher. The Liquid Assassin used the push to somersault and shoot out his leg, almost hitting the ceiling but missing it by a mere inch. He somersaulted through and was very much trying to get that foot straight in Pix's gut. His plan was simple; Have the water distract in engulfing his target, try to drain the air form his lungs and when the leg came down, quickly disperse to allow the right leg quick but narrow access. A simple 1-2, but it was a very effective in most situations.

Amidst all the fighting, Rain missed his outfit. This was all combat and that was a fair challenge, but still, his repertoire was so much broader then this. Fortunately, he was not alone anymore. In the meanwhile, other gifted adolescents had joined the fray.

One seemed to be very direct in her approach. Odd regarding her opponent was in possession of a quick reflex and invisibility. The other was an alien of sorts. It was a mystery how he could have snuck into the school unnoticed. He must have had some way of polymorphing, shapeshifting or comparable.

"Not very smart of you, because the fight's coming for you now!"

As Ben spoke he swatted away the pixels that flew about while trying to protect Pix. They battered against his body a bit, knocking him back, but overall doing nothing to his near impenetrable body. They were an annoyance at best and they were dividing and maneuvering the blocky teen away from the Titan, but Krimzon wouldn't be deterred for too long. After swatting a few more of the, well, whatever they were out of his face Ben 10 punched his fist into the ground. Momentarily afterwards a line of spiked, red, diamond head like mounds of crystal shards headed in Pix's direction via petruding out of the tile flooring. He would help in double teaming this foe in the hopes that if they took down one, the other or others, would follow as easy as cutting cake.

OT: Short post, but not much was directed to me, so meh all I got for now.

Feeling her legs be kicked from under her, she threw her arms down on to the ground and stood on her hands catching herself before she hit the ground, Kuniochi pushed her self up and jumped back and landed on her feet. She lost sight (or presence) of chesire.

Pulling out another kunai she stood alert and glanced around not moving a step.

((OOC: T_T I feel so alone in this fight.))

Falling over had jolted Hugh harder than he first thought. A feeling of weightlessness began to develop, like he was floating just off the ground. Reality kicked in as he realised this was exactly the case. A little slow, but Pix finally got it, that ninja guy controlled water. That had been why he'd shot out the sprinklers. At least with this knowledge a counter-strategy could be planned to effectively combat the nuisance in a way that restricted his skill-set.

Hugh would get right on that. Soon as he stopped drowning.

Any struggles amounted to little more than desperate flailing. The puddle had risen up like a balloon and engulfed him. Thinking quick, Hugh condensed some excess pixels into a tube shape and pierced the water surface. Well, that improvised snorkel sorted out his air problem. It still meant the LEDs of his body were dying by the second, eliminating colour from his form square by square. Pretty soon he would be just a silhouette. Water was so annoying. It would take ages to dry out from this.

Minor inconveniences became imminent complications as the water manipulator brought his foot down in what was the highest arching kick Hugh had ever seen. The resulting power snapped his pixel body in two, roughly down the stomach where it had struck. Another kick furthered his discomfort. The HIVE student was just recovering from that pain when a worse attack ripped straight through his upper torso. There was no contest comparing the strength of his flimsy body to that of pure crystal. Pix was left in pieces, floating about like some sort of mad science experiment in a vat

Agonising pain, oh how I've missed you... The damage looked more dire than what it actually was. The ninja's attack had actually hurt more than the Titan's. Piercing blows were easier to take than blunt trauma. Hugh's body was already reforming itself, just slower than usual, as it was hindered by liquids. In his daze a thought occurred to him. Both lungs lay in pieces right now. Am... am I even breathing?

Great, he didn't even know how his own physiology worked. It was time to strike back before he was forced to find out. The heroes had concentrated their efforts on the wrong enemy. In normal fighting circumstances Pix would outlast most. And when his foes began to tire he struck back. A counter-strike was due.

The pixel clouds that had remained erratic until now pooled together. One formed a double-sided hammer, most mass directed towards the weighted ends. Sure it would break itself on impact, but then Hugh would put it back together and attack with it again. The pixel hammer took an arching trajectory towards the water manipulator, spinning so as to gain momentum.

His second cloud took the shape of a wedge. A crystal body was going to simply shrug off anything Pix could throw at it. Instead he needed to get rid of the Titan. At least until his teammates jumped in. The wedge would move fast and try to get underfoot, so as to chuck the Titan out a window. As for Pix himself? He'd just float about a while and wait to be returned to one piece. No sense escaping the pool if the remains of his controversial lungs were left behind.

OT: Emblem???
