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

For a moment Bruce is winning. Then the Frost Giant recovers then punches back as hard as he can.

There is screaming from boiling giants and Jay throwing one onto the others. Jay has the chance to change the nature of the fight.

Honestly the Frost Giants are having just as much fun as Roxie is. Some of them are hurt but they work as a well trained machine. They counter some of her attacks but not all.

And the Frost Giant Nicky is fighting is very confused! Where did he go?!

When Jay had an opening, albeit with screaming and crashing around him, he jumped at it. And at a Frost Giant. Though with the unexpected, added boost from Vincent, Jay's strength got a bit away from him.

He hit the giant and the both of them went crashing into a building.

POW!

The blow sent Bruce flying, crashing through the window of an office building and sending him skidding across the floor inside.

"Ouch..."

"Just like old times..." Vincent comments, as he watches Jay in action. He spots something, however. A few of the giants haven't moved, despite the rising battle.

"Knight!" He calls to Marcus over the rush of the air as they're both maintaining flight. "The giants are protecting something! I'm guessing it's whats anchoring them here, and the cause of the current weather. Any suggestions?"

"I can move closer to focus the heat on them if you can keep them from attacking." Erin, he means, although he doesn't want to say aloud what's causing the giants the pain if he doesn't have to. Doesn't want to draw their attention to her.

No, its better that most of the Frost Giants instead keep their eye on Roxie, so that Erin can better do her thing.

He's right behind you, Mr. Frost Giant Man!

With a swipe from his axe, Nicky aims to take him down. Speaking into his communicator, he adds, "Do you guys need me to watch over Erin's back?" I think I'm about done here."

Erin can't detect heat so she has no idea if what Vincent is saying is true.

"Do what you can to shut whatever it is off," Erin calls as the winter wind picks up. She shivers a bit because this is starting to drain her.

"As soon as we're done here I need to down a bottle of Gatorade," she grinds out. "My head is starting to throb."

She redoubles her efforts trying to extend the heat she is creating and manages to push the radius outwards more.

The Giant falls to the floor of the building Jay has knocked them inside of. Curses spill from him as he tries to club Jay over the back of the head.

Bruce is stalked by the giant who hit him. This battle is not yet over.

Vincent should he get closer see that they are protecting something familiar. It is easy to identify should he get even a glance at it.

Roxie will have Frost Giants focusing on her. She is dangerous and has in a moment taken down three of them. She is very skilled now that she is using her mind and not just her passion.

Jay had. A flagpole. In his ear. It was making the cranky young Hulk crankier. He picked the flagpole up and tossed it away in irritation.

Only to get smacked across the head and across the building by a giant. Jay pulled his face out of a filing cabinet with a roar rushing past his lips. He threw the cabinet at the giant before charging at the big annoyance.

Bruce forced himself to get to his feet. People were counting on him. But his solar-power was slowly starting to wane, with the constant snowfall.

He lifted off the ground and toward the giant like a missile, firing photon blasts.

"Hang on a little longer," Marcus encourages Erin as he nudges Aether to fly closer to whatever Vincent's pointed out. Jay's roar from below startles him and he looks down to watch his green friend charge. Hoo boy. Mister Stark wasn't going to like the price tag on this little battle.

Another time, when she was only accessing the part of her that was Kree, Roxie might have been getting tired by now, spent, unable to concentrate. Instead, she found that the more she fought, the clearer her mind became, the easier it was to anticipate what the Frost Giants were going to do to her, and the quicker she was in avoiding them and fighting them.

There was a little too much property damage going on around her, but Roxie was confident that it was nothing that a nice, big lump of Olympian gold couldn't fix.

Nicky flies up behind the Kreek warrior, pressing his back to hers - a difficult feat, considering how all over the place she is. But the giants are ganging up on her, and as well as she's doing, well, she can't do it all on her own.

He lets out a roar that would probably make his parents proud, hacking away at some giants, wondering if he can possibly convince Habitats for Humanity to help out with this destruction.

Vincent's jaw drops when he spots what the giants are guarding. The Casket of Ancient Winters? Here? Oh this was... this was exceptional. Loki wouldn't know what hit him.

"We need to seize that and turn it back against them." He states to Marcus, in no uncertain terms. He launches a volley of high-intensity illusion spells, bright lights and deafening sounds going off in the giants' faces.

"What," she croaks. Then shudders as it's starting to get to be too much to do this. She is fighting magic that is as old as the Earth.

Her head goes from mildly aching to roaring with pain and she has to grab onto something so she doesn't slip while she tries to focus.

"Whatever you're planning? Hurry," she snaps at Vincent.

"This hurts. It's fighting me."

The filing cabinet startles the Frost Giant as it explodes with paper all over his face. Then suddenly Jay hits him at a full run! The giant tries to brace himself but Jay's attack throws them both through several walls as they don't stop moving.

The wind currents change and shift as Bruce is fighting. By pure luck rays of sun light come down hitting ice and refract in Bruce's direction. Someone out there loves heroes clearly.

Together Roxie and Nicky turn the tide of battle. They are excellent to pair together.

Because of the chaos of the fight Vincent has a window of opportunity to do something. That is if he avoids the powerful wind spell cast at him, Marcus, and Erin by a very rare sorcerer Frost Giant.

Jay was not thinking any more. All he could see was green. From flaming arms to sudden power boosts to too many freaking giants he came up the waist on, the young Hulk was angry. His temper is low, loud rumble in his chest.

Having the giant bent over him slightly from the rush attack and using that frosty butt as a battering ram through walls, Jay reached up and back a little. Not far. Just enough to grab the giant's nose and yank down.

Ahhh. Solar power. From which Bruce drew much of his power. True, he could absorb other energy sources, but it was solar energy that really charged him.

He fired a photon blast in the giant's face.

Marcus tightens his grin on Erin and the reins when he feels her sagging. Well, this is going just peachy. He glances over at Vincent. He'd better keep those things busy long enough. Marcus nudges Aether and they swoop down toward the object to try and grab it.

Roxie keeps those around her occupied as best as she can, though she notices the rest of the action going on out of the corner of her eye. She hears gusts of wind coming from the direction that Erin and the others are in, but she holds her sky. If the gusts come her way, she'll withstand them, though she figures they aren't for her, anyway.

Behind her, Nicky is all flashing metal as his axe slashes and swipes this way and that. There is plenty of frost build-up on Nicky himself, but that only forces him to fight faster, fiercer, and harder.

Vincent isn't good with wind. It's evocation over a very large area but still demanding a high measure of finesse. He can do finesse just fine, but it's something he considers more in line with charm and illusion spells. It's a mental disconnect he's never really managed to reconcile.

However, he does happen to be very good at math and fire.

A calculated blast of intense heat in response to the wind creates a downdraft which sends him hurtling towards the giants, and hopefully buffets Marcus and Erin to a safer point on their own approach. He rolls violently in midair and goes under one giant's arm close enough that he could have reached out and touched it. He may be in for a rough landing, but he's on target for the Casket.

"Runecaster," Erin shouts even though her head is trying to kill her.

"When you're ready? Get a move on!"

She prepares to throw all of her might at the giants and the center of this fight. Everything is about to really heat up.

What Jay just did is break a Giant's nose. The giant screams in surprise and has to struggle to keep Jay from ripping his nose off his face.

Bruce knocks the Giant back. The giant falls to the ground in a large heap.

Roxie and Nicky are able to hold their ground They are tiring out the Frost Giants they are facing.

Vincent has a moment to act. Just a moment. He better hurry.
