Attack on New York (All US teams on deck!)

[ngm_villains]

The Avengers will arrive in Time's Square in short order. They will see Frost Giants moving out quickly. There are a few standing guard over something but there is nice and snow shooting up into the air so it isn't obvious right away that it is the Cask of Winter.

But there are many Frost Giants gathered here. It is an invading army.

Remi hovered in the air. He nodded to himself. Though since he was slightly away from the rest of the group, he used his communicator rather than shouting at them.

"Make sure the ones we have down stay down. Then we press forward." He decided to do some quick aerial scouting as his team laid giants low left and right.

[stormy_skrull]

"Aye, aye, mon capitan."

[realstarpower]

"Does anyone know anything about the physiology of these things?" Ryan asked as he landed besides one. "Fiery torch through the heart, beheading. Will these things keep the frost giants down and out of the count or what?" Not that there were any fiery torches around, but he could very well use his energy to maybe try to behead them?

[clobberin_kid]

"I skipped beheading giants day in class, sorry." Jacob gives the one in front of him another good, solid punch before he moves on to run down another.

"Let's just do what we can. These seem to be scouts for a main group," Griffin advises as he gets ready to launch a fresh attack.

[ngm_villains]

Griffin speaks wisdom. There do not seem to be too many more surging this way.

Until three more who had been about to go one way see what has happened. They shout something back and fourth then they charge forward. They start to attack going for Jacob and Ryan first.

[aqua_gambit]

Remi spots the three incoming giants from his aloft vantage point. "Imaginauts, incoming!"

He shouts that through the communicator rather than not being heard from the sky.

Then he is streaking toward the giant in the middle of the trio. He puts a shield in front of him that's pointed; he's coming at the giant like a javelin.

Mary took a deep breath and morphed again, transforming into a larger, three-headed dragon

"Ugh," the heads said together. "I hate doing this. I always have a splitting headache afterwards..."

She spat fire at the incoming giants, flying toward them.

[clobberin_kid]

"Bring it! Bring it!" Jacob shouts as he charges at the giants. His fists are up and he's barreling right toward the giant on the left of the three. He's hoping to take him out at the ankles.

[realstarpower]

Ryan grinned at Mary, letting out a laugh despite the fighting going on around them. "Splitting headache. Love it," he said, before charging his way at the giants as well. He went for the one on the right of the three, volleying blasts of cosmic energy at various parts of the giant's body, with no particular pattern in mind. Make it harder for the giant to avoid and all that.

"....She is so cute and made of violence. I love it," Griffin says a little too cheerfully.

Be glad he is on your side guys. Suddenly he bounces and flies up hitting a giant right in the jaw!

Pow!

[ngm_villains]

The combination of Griffin bouncing at the Giant's face and Jacob hitting him forces the giant to one knee. In a rage he reaches to grab at Jacob. He will try pitching him.

But suddenly there is fire and ow and oh the pain!

The lead giant is injured by Remi and Mary.

The third giant avoids some damage and throws some kind of big jar at Ryan.

[aqua_gambit]

Remi continued to press forward on the giant he and Mary injured. He was not going to stop until the giant was down.

"Cover Ryan! He's got ... what the hell is that? Coming at him."

[stormy_skrull]

Mary kept the three-headed dragon form. She'd pay for it later--splitting up her brain three ways like this took a lot of concentration--but it was worth it for the tactical advantage.

She fired a triple-breath of flame at the jar.

[clobberin_kid]

Whoops. That isn't supposed to happen!

Jacob yelps and is thrown into a nearby building. As he struggles to get to his feet in the wreckage, he mutters dizzily, "Yeah, I'll get right on that..."

[realstarpower]

Ryan had no idea what the hell the thing was that they'd thrown at him. While Mary blasted it with fire, Ryan threw up a shield of energy in front of him.

[innameof]

"Wait we don't know what's in it! Fire could be bad!" As a scientist Griffin knows the answer isn't always fire.

This could end very poorly.

[ngm_villains]

Griffin was right. One of the Giants jumps back as the jar is shattered buy fire and when the substance hits flames it turns into an acidic cloud. The Giants don't bother fighting anymore.

They retreat quickly away from the clouds before it starts to move.

[aqua_gambit]

"Manzerfes!" Nothing like rapidly escalating gassy problems. At least the giants were running away. Which meant nothing good.

"Ryan, help me contain it. Somebody figure out a way to dissipate it without fire." Remi put up shields to try to catch the billowing acid cloud.

[stormy_skrull]

"Holy flarg!" Mary's three-heads screamed in unison.

She dropped from the sky, morphing into what looked like a giant armadillo in the process.

[realstarpower]

"God, freaking, dammit!" Ryan yelled out, cosmic energy enveloping his entire body before bursting forth from his palms. He was using all of the energy he could muster, combining his powers with Remi's to contain the cloud of...whatever it was.

The fact that the Frost Giants were running wasn't really filling him with confidence.

[clobberin_kid]

"Mary, can you move fast? Get us to the nearest construction site and find as much dry cement mix as we can?" Jacob could carry the stuff, but moving fast wasn't his forte. The calcium carbonate in the cement mix should neutralize the acid if they could dump it over the contained cloud. At least, he hoped so.

[innameof]

"Do what Jacob says," Griffin says as he calculates the amount they may need. "Get as much as you can carry. It should smother it nicely too. We can pay back the company later when we're not fighting Frost Giants."

[stormy_skrull]

"Got it," Mary said, transforming into a giant pterodactyl like creature. She grabbed Jacob with her talons and took off as quickly as she could.

There was a construction site close enough.

[aqua_gambit]

Remi's brow furrowed as concentrated on containing the gas. He knew the rest of the team could come up with a way to get rid of the acidic gas. He just had to hold his shields together under the attack of corrosion.
