1 and 5 Combo Attack!

[Skeletor could not have asked for better timing for Devious' little invasion. As the battle against the Deviobots rages in the streets the Lord of Destruction watches from the roof of one of Venture City's skyscrapers. Behind him, Tri-Klops and Trapjaw are working quickly to attach a device to one of the antennae.]

Tri-Klops, is the device ready yet?

Almost, Skeletor. Just a few more minutes

Excellent. [He steps to the edge of the building, looking down on the city.] I must remember to thank Dr. Devious. With those fools occupied by her robots, they're far too busy to stop me from successfully completing the Seismic Control Device. And once it's in place, there will be nothing to stop me from laying waste to this city and ridding myself of those wretched "heroes" forever!

[Villainous laugh time? Villainous laugh time.]

[disembiggen]

You know, you really should make sure nobody's listening before you start monologuing like that.

[How did she get up here? Chalk it up to minion incompetence, I guess!]

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

What? [And Skeletor whips around to find himself face to face with one of those accursed Omegafriends right now. Oh, he'll definitely need to have a little talk about security.

His eye sockets glow red in frustration for a moment before he settles down and chuckles.]

So it would seem. However, [as he speaks, a couple of those monstrous minions set up. Clawful and Whiplash, his big, dumb muscle] you'll soon find that you've made a much bigger mistake coming here alone.

[He points toward the two up on the antenna.] You two, complete the work on the device. The rest of you, destroy her!

[disembiggen]

[And so she attacks! A right hook with a fist four feet wide knocks Whiplash off his feet, but she has to fall back as Clawful picks up the pace.]

Where do you even get these guys? Bob's Discount Minion Shack?

[For all her banter, though, she has to admit that Skeletor has a point - five on one isn't good odds, even for Ms. Marvel.]

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

[That great big fist knocks Whiplash down, but there's a reason Skeletor keeps the big lug on the payroll and it definitely isn't for the brains. The reptilian ruffian is quickly back on his feet as Clawful snaps at Ms. Marvel with claws powerful enough to shred a car in two. Seeing her on the retreat, Whiplash himself comes in and swings that hefty, hammer tail at her.]

Joke while you can, hero. I promise you, you won't have much to laugh about for very long.

[banchocroquettes]

[And the hammer tail is stopped by one spiked baseball bat.

Mako's coat billows against the air dramatically. She adjusts her cap with her free hand, looking out from under the brim.]

Hey, it's not fair to gang up on people, you know!

[disembiggen]

Didn't you know, Skeletor? The Omegafriends never fight alone!

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

[Whiplash's tail bounces off the spiked bat and the duo take a step back at the sudden arrival of this new hero, staring dumbly for the moment.

Skeletor, meanwhile, is getting more frustrated. Where do these blasted Omegafriends keep coming from?!]

How touching. In that case, you will meet your doom together as well! [And he hefts the Havoc Staff, light gathering in the eyes of the ram's head, and unleashes a powerful blast of pure destructive force at the two Supers.]

[banchocroquettes]

[The blast has Mako bringing up her arm, trying to shield herself as she retreats back as well. Only enough to stand next to the other woman.]

You're alright so far, right?

[Hey, she has to check up on her comrade first, okay?]

[disembiggen]

[She survived, somehow, but they really can't take that staff lightly.]

The important thing is stopping that device before it starts up!

[keeperofdeath]

[This is the look of a little girl judging you.]

You're not Grim.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

[Some six months or so ago, Cure Moonlight can be seen racing across the rooftops of Venture City, silver dress flowing out behind her as she leaps from building to building. A small creature flits alongside her, a worried expression etched upon his face.]

Moonlight, you shouldn't be reckless! Blossom can-

[Moonlight's eyes snap to the creature, her fairy partner - Cologne. She doesn't slow down.]

No. This is far too dangerous. Ts- ... Cure Blossom is still too inexperienced! She can't handle something like this!

[Or to be more precise, she's worried of putting her out there against something like this. Against someone this dangerous. That girl... She's far too innocent still, and Moonlight can't simply volunteer her like that. She chose to help her, to protect her - not put her in harm's way. Not like this.

Cologne just gives her a look and she knows he understands precisely what she means.]

Then someone else! The Ome-

As a Precure, this is my responsibility, no one else's! Besides... we're already here.

[Without further ado she takes a running leap up to a far taller skypscraper. There lies a flickering portal - how on Earth he managed to open something like that up to there, she couldn't fathom. But the "how" doesn't matter for now. For now, she has to stop him.]

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

Yes. Yes! It's working!

[Skeletor stands atop that skyscraper, crowing in triumph as he watches the portal take shape. It's not quite done yet, still lacking the power to actually transport anything through but that changes with every second. Every moment that ticks by brings his goal within reach.]

At long last, after so many years, so much planning, the Palace and all the power within will finally be mine!

[His laughter echoes across the rooftop, above the hum of the machinery that had been built into it. Dozens of crystals built into various mechanisms glow brightly as they funnel energy into the building's antenna, energy that is being used to fuel the portal. All around, the Evil Warriors stand ready to swarm the Palace the moment the pathway is clear, monstrous forms braced for the invasion.

And above them all stands Skeletor himself, the Lord of Destruction, an inky black stain against the shining palace taking form behind him.]

[alilyinthemoonslight]

[Cutting through that laughter is a sudden rain of energy blasts. They're small, and not likely to do terribly much damage - bu they fall over the gathered crowd before Cure Moonlight lands at the building's edge, Cologne swooping in behind her.]

Skeletor! That's quite far enough! [She whips out a hand, pointing towards him.] That place has stood for generations against evil just like you, and it will not but sullied by your hands so long as I'm standing here!

[She sounds confident.

Normally, she'd feel confident.

Still...

That was a lot of guys.]

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

[Those blasts do indeed stop his laughter, or at least it's drowned out by the yells and roars of the Warriors as they leap out of the way, stumbling back out of range of it.

The blasts rain down over the rooftop until they reach Skeletor himself, who doesn't move a muscle. Explosions detonate around him, obscuring him behind smoke and dust until a gust of wind clears it...

and reveals him standing exactly where he is, not even singed. Without even acknowledging the rain of energy he turns toward her.]

Brave words, indeed. However, I think you'll find that to be a situation that is easily rectified.

[He raises a hand to point to Cure Moonlight and the Evil Warriors spring into action. Clawful and Whiplash lead the charge as the biggest of the brute muscle, while Trapjaw and Tri-Klops hang back, firing their own energy blasts at her.]

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Moonlight... be careful! You know this lot isn't to be taken lightly...!

[Moonlight manages to smile, looking as genuine as possible.]

You don't need to worry about me, Cologne. After all... I'm not going to lose to anyone, especially not here and now!

[She thrusts her hands out, noticing the blasts coming in for her.]

Moonlight Reflection!

[Barriers of light appear before her palms, which she then just shoots off, intercepting Trapjaw and Tri-Klops' blasts. Even as explosions erupt against the barriers, Moonlight herself is dashing off at speed. She's a blur of silver and purple until she's stopped only by both fists being sent out to slam into the oncoming Evil Warriors' chests.]

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

[The blasts detonate harmlessly against Moonlight's barriers, and the followup shots strike nothing but the ground where she was as the two Warriors find themselves unable to track her fast enough.

Clawful and Whiplash don't have any more luck. The crashes from the impacts ring out as Moonlight forces them back. Just by a few steps, but it's enough to give her a clear run toward her real target, who's still standing up at the portal watching her fight.]

[alilyinthemoonslight]

[Even if it's enough to push Clawful and Whiplash back, she's not about to settle for just that. Energy billows in her palms, and she unleashes two blasts straight at them before taking that opening, dashing through it and straight for said real target.

She leaps across the distance for Skeletor, one hand balling into a fist as her arm cocks back, preparing to smash it into him with all her might.]

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

[The two Warriors are big and powerful indeed but even as strong as they are, Moonlight's energy blasts send them hurtling backwards to bounce and slide along the rooftop, smoking right from where they were struck.

Skeletor sighs.]

It's so hard to find good help these days.

[Ah, but here she comes. As Moonlight leaps across the gap, Skeletor moves as well. His own leap carries him high up into the air, above the lone Precure. His cloak billows out like the wings of some terrible bird of prey and he unleashes a blast from his staff straight down at her. One that utterly dwarfs the combined strength of the two she'd deflected moments earlier.]

[big_blue_boyscout]

I might have something to say about that.

[Or maybe not, considering who's just showed landed on the rooftop, arms folded. How did he find out, you might ask? He could hear Skeletor monologuing from thirty blocks away, one of the benefits of super-hearing.]

Tell your men to step away from the device and surrender, Skeletor. Nobody needs to get hurt here.

Just can't go anywhere without some OP musclehead ruining his day. Jeez

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

[It's a bad habit, monologuing, but it comes with the villainous territory. Skeletor turns at the interruption, growling at the Man of Steel even as the Evil Warriors cast nervous looks between themselves, suddenly looking and feeling much less confident in this plan than they did a moment ago.]

Surrender? [He chuckles.] I... think not.

[Still, there is a time for a monologue and this isn't it. Eyes lighting up with angry red light, he brings the Havoc Staff forward and unleashes a blast of raw, destructive magic at the Kryptonian.]

Perhaps a sign he's in the wrong line of work?

[big_blue_boyscout]

[Clark hadn't expected him to take the offer of surrender, but it would have been nice. He takes off, banking hard to one side to avoid the Havoc Staff's blast. Getting hit by that thing once was enough to know that he'd rather avoid that. Then, he accelerates, shooting at Skeletor like a ballistic missile. Hopefully the impact would stun him and give Clark a chance to get that staff away from him.]

Ridiculous!

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

[That was a little optimistic of him, yes.

Skeletor's blast goes wild, firing off harmlessly over the city and as Superman hurtles at him like a rocket, the Havoc Staff lights up again. Thrusting the weapon forward, there's another explosion of magic, intercepting Superman's charge.]

Just saying.

[big_blue_boyscout]

[Hope for the best, expect the worst ...

[The blast forces him to change course, but leaves another opening. He hooks right, the bolt of magic screaming through the air where Clark was a second ago. His eyes light up, glowing bright red for an instant before letting loose twin beams of heat vision at Skeletor.]

Silence, fool!

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

Grr.... Hold still!

[Another shot gone wild, Skeletor tries to bring the Havoc Staff to bear on his enemy again, but he's not quite quick enough. The heat vision strikes its target and in a flash, Skeletor's cape is aflame and he's pretty distracted as he stumbles back a few steps and make a futile effort to pat the fire out.]
