Sorry... er... went out last night....

Geo continued to watch the fight, but most of his attention went towards the water. He hoped that the water guy once again attempted something that would give him another glance at the metallic creature so he could at least confirm it was real.

When his attention did focus on the fight, it was only to come up with a detailed plan of attack. From what he gathered, there was a shape-shifter who would be difficult to handle, and there was another shape-shifter of sorts, he seemed more plastic to Geo. Either way he determined, that those two would be the main targets during their attack.

Bond as far as he could tell exhibited no powers and the other only seemed capable of flight, an easily handled situation.

"Eww!" came a voice from behind Geo. He swung around to see that his group had finally caught up with him. Flunkie had a disgusted look on his face. Geo figured the sight of the floating skulls was too much.

"What took you guys so long?" He asked impatiently.

"You try navigating this thing with so many people." Magus pointed out.

Raged sparked a fire in the palm of his hands, "So are we ready to kick ass now?"

Geo shook his head and pointed down to the scene at the bay. "I think it's best if we allow them to handle it for now. I doubt they will win, but they will weaken the group pretty well. We can just swoop in while they are hurt and take all the credit!"

The Professor nodded gracefully, "That's a brilliant idea, but remember my dear chaps that Bond is to be left to me."

Everyone gave the person the thumbs up as they all focused on the scene down at the beach.

Dyne's water attacks did a remarkable job of keeping Fox at bay. While they did not hurt, Fox found that they could blast off chunks of his body that he would quickly need to re-absorb. Even with the setbacks, Fox continued to try to break through Dyne's offensive line.

Swan continued to bait Typhoid into a confrontation with verbal jabs. He hoped that an enraged Typhoid would be more reckless in his attempt to extract revenge. He had to be for the second part to work.

"So Typhoid, something I've always been meaning to ask you, and this comes from some of your exes I spoke to: Is being fast in bed a special power as well?"

Swan could see the Canadian red travel to Typhoid's face. A few more comments and he was liable to explode.

"Tell me if this is too personal, but when you say no does Dylflon control your mind and make you do it anyhow?"

There it was. Typhoid snapped and rushed blindingly at Swan, who was wise enough to know that he could not outrun him, but maybe outmaneuver him. So Swan bounced all around the place while Typhoid gave chase.

He had to distract him long enough for Bond to get his idea into motion. So Typhoid came charging once more and Swan wanted to test out something he had been working on. He unhinged his jaw and waited until Typhoid ran into him. He was able to ingest Typhoid whole.

"Man that was a speedy lunch." Then he could feel Typhoid punching and kicking inside. "I guess something I ate doesn't agree with me." Then Swan could feel Typhoid drilling his way through his stomach. Swan did not know if his body was capable of repairing such damage so he spat Typhoid out.

"Probably not the first time a guy spat around you I would take it." Typhoid took some time to recover before he began the chase again.

Fox was not finding much success against Dyne yet. He got close on one occassion but Dyne showed off a new ability by spraying water out of his chest. Fox really wished they had remained friends with them long enough to know the range of their powers.

Fox looked back though, Bond had given him the thumbs up. Plan B would be enacted now. Hopefully, they had better luck with that.

This isn't the place to end the story, but I shot myself in the foot with a shorter part 2. So look for part 4 tonight.
