Alfred's bullet pinged off a shield made of solid darkness. Nixx flashed a black look in his direction and sent tendrils of smoke pushing the crate on top of him, though he had already moved on. She then spun around and saw Aisha, but hesitated, and after a few seconds sent a beam of darkness at Masters instead, who nimbly dodged it.
Zyanya noticed that she was being teamed up on by no less than four individuals, so she whirled, sending a wash of sonic energy knocking her assailants backwards.
"Where is she?" yelled Alfred when he got to his feet. He and the others looked around wildly.
Silently, Zyanya rematerialized behind Neville and slipped razor-sharp fingernails around his neck.

Shelton adroitly slipped out of the room. He could go back when he stopped hearing the sounds of scuffling in the room.

Aimee lashed out at her assailant with her foot but Trinity backflipped away. This gratefully gave Aimee time to get to her feet.
Trinity resumed the assault within seconds, though, with a barrage of punches that Aimee's arms couldn't block in time. Seeing stars, she bullrushed blindly and pushed Trinity into the force field, sending both flying apart. Trinity landed with a graceful somersault, Aimee's landing was less graceful.
"You do know I'm just playing with you, dear," laughed Trinity. "I could end this whenever you're ready; just say the word."
Aimee didn't grace her with a response. "All right," she thought to herself, "time to play dirty."
The next time Trinity jumped her, Aimee ducked and tripped her with a sweep, then punched her sharply in the stomach.
"I don't care what that serum did to you," spat Aimee as Trinity doubled over. "My arms are still stronger than yours."
She swung a right hook for Trinity's head, but the scientist limbo'd and contorted her body to kick Aimee between her legs. She then spun on one hand, her legs flying in a wide arc to double-kick Aimee in the face.
"Too bad there's more to us than arms, and in every other category you are outclassed," she hissed, the playful tone gone. Wiping a trickle of blood from her lip, she put all her power behind a spinning kick, which bore down on the fallen vulpine, fully intending this tie to break her back and end this fight.
--------------------------------
Death stumbled as the bullets punched through him, but the bullets left no lasting damage.
"This is a foolish fight of yours," he stated matter-of-factly. "I am the reincarnation of death. You cannot fight death."
Extracting the heavy shells from his torso, Death sent them spinning back at his prey, as if they were fired out of a cannon.
(OOC: Will the stuff regarding James and O'Neil be happening soon, Serris? Do you have any ideas for what O'Neil will do to begin the skirmish? I had been toying with the idea of him somehow sabotaging the elevator, which due to a stroke of luck doesn't fall to its death for some reason, but I can't figure out exactly enough how that would all work.)
