Retired Superheroes Just Want To Chill (Cerulean)

"OHOHOHO!" Regina let out this really nasty, really chessy lady-villain laugh, being pulled up into the air by some yet unseen force. The grounds of the grove was broken up, yet once again accursed magical lines glowed. A rune trap that paralyzes anyone on the ground, who didn't have immense magical protection. Regina of course, being the witch who laid the spell, walked unhindered.

"You fall easily into traps hero. Figures, I did instruct my minions to tell any fool hero to come here... now, let me have some of your blood..." She gloated with unabashed glee, showing she and her classmates were no ordinary teenagers at all. Slowly she approaches Wrecker to prick him with that wicked looking knife, on his thigh.

Regina proved she could balance even on the rough, uneven ground, though her hands were a bit shaky as they neared. "You're only going to make this harder on yourself!" The teenager almost slipped on the constant grumbling, catching herself on Wrecker, getting his face uncomfortably close to her corset. It would probably be only moments before Chris Hansen was going to make a cameo and offer Wrecker a seat.

Regina grumbled and cut Wrecker on his cheek instead. Once it came in touch with Wrecker's dense skin, The knife pricked him only slightly, but enough to draw a small bit of blood. This seemed enough, as Regina distanced herself and raised the dagger in the air, a maniacal smile on her lips.

"HAHAAHHHAHA! Goddess, grant me your boon! ACCEPT MY OFFER OF THE BLOOD OF THE RIGHTEOUS!" And with those words, the grass, the trees and the very ground seemed to be slowly sapped of life. A vortex of fiendish energies seemed to swirl on the ground, breaking Wrecker free of his temporary paralysis.

The energies converged on Regina, coalescing around her body. Grotesquely, her lower spine rear end erupted and she grew a spider's abdomen, while her legs fell off at the pelvis under her skirt, leaving two bloody stumps of legs at Wrecker's feet. In their place, eight enormous spider legs now carried Regina, and she sprouted six more eyes on her head.

Shauna had just escaped the woods, though she was now being followed by a large swarm of spiders, which she blasted with lasers but to no avail. Coming to Wrecker's aid, she looked at Regina's severed legs lying on the ground, then at the Drider herself. "Ewww. EWW. THAT. IS SO. GROSS. I think I'm gonna heave-" Shauna turned away a moment. She'd seen... alot of things in life, but this was a first.

"Now. I will defeat you heroes, and call my goddess here!" Drider Regina said, her voice now complete with a demonic echo. He was free of the spell now, but the fight was now truly beginning.

Several horse sized spiders of the leaping, hunting variety had pursued Shauna and now closed in on her. Sun Queen reacted quickly and blasted a hole straight through one's torso, causing it to twitch violently in its death throes, before collapsing into a crumpled heap. "No friggin problem."

The spiders close in and Shauna fought them, swinging with her wrist blades. She bobs and weaves with their attacks, attacking simultaneously as dodging, hairy limbs fly off and heads being carved open, spilling green blood onto the ground from smoking cuts.

Regina hissed, fangs bared, her eight eyes blinking in unison. For all her size, she moved with an unnatural speed now, and leapt high into the sky to avoid Wrecker's tackle, letting himself slam into a tree. She weaves a spell with frightful alacrity, and the dark energies conjured forth a swarm of hell wasps, a cloud of buzzing, stinging insects descending on Wrecker.

The swarm dispersed from the tossed tree, the force and air pressure disorienting them only for a few precious seconds. Regina as usual, proved highly mobile, but she was very eager not to get hit by a tree.

Shauna worked well in tandem with Wrecker, giving him the room to plow through the bigger beasts. The monsters were not as maneuverable, and thus were demolished by him, limbs snapping and coating him in green ichor. Meanwhile, The flightly superhero met Regina with vicious speed.

"Accursed heroes, I'll- EEK!" The speedier Shauna proved a better match for the teenager, forcing her on the defense as twin energy blades attempted to cut her away. This was when Regina was starting to realize she may have bitten off more than she can chew.

"...You're out of line kid! Give up!" Shauna offered, but Regina simply retorted with a laugh. "Why would I-" Regina was cut off again, when Shauna brought one more surprise from her suit's container. The magical whip Regina abandoned. Apparently it was somewhat sentient, and writhed with resentment at its former master.

"Remember this guy?" Shauna tossed the whip onto Regina, and it clung to her as it did Wrecker- Regina was quickly entangled in place. Now she wouldn't be able to use her spider reflexes to dodge a well deserved knock out punch from Wrecker.

Regina struggled against the sentient barbed whip she abandoned, and could not escape. She realized she had lost, as Wrecker approached to clock her out "NO WAIT I SUR-" She said, but a bit too late. Regina is knocked out, falling over on her back like a spider, her legs curling inward and twitching.

Once the sorceress was out, the spiders and the wasps that lingered faded from reality, the magic sustaining them gone. Sadly, the once vibrant and lush grove remained dead.

Such a massive disturbance in the middle of rebuilt Manhattan would not go unnoticed. Metahuman Response Division arrived on the scene from out of nowhere, complete with high tech attack helicopters to pin down flyers and drone tanks with cannons. Power armored MRD Troopers carrying high tech gauss weaponry surround the three on the scene. An agent in military gear and a balaclava stepped forward with a bullhorn. When the agent spoke, she was female, and very pissed.

"Freeze Metahumans! Any further use of superhuman abilities will get you arrested immediately. Come peacefully and you will only be held for a statement." She said.

Shauna sighed. She recognized her old teammate, and didn't resist. "Hello, Yellow Tigress." She said with a smug familiarity.

"It's Agent 7 now, if you please, Sun Queen. Or would you prefer I call you Black Tigress?" She parried the smug with her own smug.

"Touche... anyway, how'd you find us so fast?"

"We detected a disturbance on Liberty Island, and Harbor patrol tipped us off there was going to be a superpowered fight there."

"We were stopping the Drider from completing her transformation. She was draining the life energy from the park to summon-"

"Changing forms isn't illegal, Sunny, but we could slap her with vandalism. Anyway, We'll let the courts decide." Agent 7 then turned towards Wrecker. "You, I don't recognize you. I don't remember Sh- Sun Queen the teaming up type. What part did you play here?" Agent 7 was about to blurt something critical out, greatly annoying Sun Queen.

Agent 7 looked at Wrecker for a few moments. His answer did not particularly impress her.

"That's what they all say. Well, feel free to tell the judge about your vigilante activities, Wrecker. See you both in metahuman court, 15 days from now." Agent 7 said, motioning for the metahuman paramedics to assist Regina. They had a special large ambulance for unusually sized beings, which seemed more like a specially converted dump truck. carefully dragging her so as to not break her long spider limbs. The doors closed pneumatically, and just like that they were off.

Shauna took out her phone and set a reminder for the hearing date.  "...We should probably go. Don't worry though, you can show up In-uniform."

((Let's wrap this up and make the Hearing a thread unto itself. ))

(OOC: Sounds good!)
