Risen Fate doesn't waste a second. He crouches, leaps, soars, and in true superhero form weaves through the frightened crowd to land a flying tackle on D.Mask and carrying him through the room and crashing into the back wall.
Looks like your luck just ran out.
I charge to the whole and jump down hopefully as i had moved closer to D. Mask but the people most likely prevent me from reaching him.

Death Mask is caught unawares (making Risen Fate's attack a Surprise Attack) and Risen Fate barrels into him sending both careening through the Final Exhibit, past the soldiers, into the Hallway, through the thick wooden doors of the Dino Exhibit, and ultimately into the Dino Exhibit, smashing Death Mask against the stone wall.
Death Mask drops away from the hero, blood dripping from his nose, but landing on his feet.
The soldiers, both military and SHRU, open fire on the Knights.
DC 18
Only the Colonel hits one, taking the Knight down on the first shot.

Risen Fate squares off with D.Mask.
Lucky you, you're made of tougher stuff than I had hoped. Guess we'll have to do this the hard way. How unfortunate.
Risen Fate glances at the precariously balanced dinosaur skeleton, leaning towards D.Mask, out of the corner of his eye.
Takes a Bruise and is Staggered until he can recover.
You don't know who you be dealing with, mon. His face changes as he speaks, cheekbones widening, skin coloration changing until his face looks like it was stitched together, a too large grin showing where his mouth should be. He lunges with the dagger he had until this point managed to hide, a green and purple paste smeared along the edge.
I'm gunna gut ya like I gutted that preeetty red-head. He grins wickedly at you. You realize you haven't seen Marrisa since you left for the basement. The last time you heard her, she had called you about the security guards death...
RAAAAGGGHHHH!!! I will end you! The gleam of something metal is all you see before a massive greataxe swings down...fully 2 feet from your location.
Wasn't...there...???...*huff*...RRAAAAGGGHHH! Show yourself!
The pilot calls out, Boss, we gained altitude! A LOT of altitude, but I don't think anything's damaged...
End of this round, start of new round with Risen Fate and Timeline.

Takes another Bruise as dimensional energy pours forth from you wracking the villains body.
Oh no! What's he done to Marissa!
Risen Fate blinks a half-step out of reality for just a moment.
If you've gone and harmed any innocents, those agents in the other room will be the least of your worries! Where is she?!

I read off my Dex score instead of my Stam score...
i rise with my move action and attack him with my right,not speaking hoping to catch him off guard.
DC 24
I asked you where she is, dammit! Risen Fate yells from the next room.
Fate grabs D.Mask by the front of his jacket, lifting him off the ground.
And I'm sure it's only Elli that's impatient. >.-
He smiles with glee and you notice a small nick on his arm. a purple/green smear covers the wound. He must've sliced himself when he oulled it on you. He reacts strangely to the normally deadly toxin, and his skin becomes visibly tougher.
The toxin feels more potent likely due to it's non-aerosolized form. Your side goes numb instantly (-6 Stamina Score: DC is 16) and you can feel it crawling up one side. (Take a Bruise and you are Staggered until you can recover. DC 21)
You detect no amount of remorse from this monster, nor do you detect any amount of dishonesty in his statement.
Hope she weren't no friend. That'd be bawd mojo, mon.
He evades your grab attack easily. He appears to be more in his element now in hand to hand combat.
The villain lunges with his dagger again.
Just a Toughness save this time. DC 21

Timeline takes the shot
Well your a pain in my side.
Elli decides to go around, via the smaller tunnels, all the while looking out for more of those weird alarms strung around and any other new constructions. Hopefully the detour won't take too long...

His weaken(stamina) poison has been countered.
Bullets spray off your authentic full plate armor and you pull a Han Solo, flipping your blaster up and firing in one smooth motion.
The Knight of Revelation's uniform peels and blisters where the laser blast hits, knocking him from the chopper.
AEEEIIYEEHhhhhhhh.....
Boss? BOSS!!!!... The pilot looks at you and puts his hands up. The chopper immediately begins to spin and he puts one hand back on the controls.
D-D-Don't hurt me. I just fly things. I'm in it for the free food.
DC 29
You sidestep the clumsy swipe cleanly.
Knights of Revelation
1-2, SHRU; 3-4, Soldier; 5, Colonel.
The Colonel takes a grazing shot, knocking the wind out of him temporarily.
Officer Charlie goes down, taking a bullet to the knee.
Soldiers, SHRU, and the Colonel.
Three more Knights go down. Mothfrickin' Helmet heads! Kestrel, get that man behind cover now!
To the remaining Knights, You terrorists are all the same! Nothing but bluster! Come and get us you s***s of b*****s!
As you traverse the sewers you come to a point where you are going to have to crawl...yes crawl...through at least 100 feet of sewer pipes to get anywhere near the main line.
That tunnel looks awfully small...haha oh this aughta be good
See the parachutes there bring two over here and give me one you take the other and jump, because the food cant be good enough to die for.
Timeline waits until the pilot jumps looking at the second parachute.
well damn cant let him die I suppose.
Timeline using his turnabout action teleports to the falling knight and straps on the parachute and pulls the cord and ports back to the helicopter.
From behind you inside the pipe you are in you hear...a scraping sound.
Looks like I manage to free myself? If so I keep moving and I'm picking up the pace
Below you see an amazing sight. The main storm overflow reservoir has been transformed into a small town! What appears to be clean water, pools in the basin of the reservoir forming a central pool. Crude buildings built of discarded sheet metal, plastic crates, and misshapen particleboard.
The people are as varied as the buildings, ranging from scaled lizard people to hairy dog men.
Three hooded figures come around the ccorner from the tunnel behind you. Intruder! Capture the norm!
I turn around and decide to give them one helluva show. I get my sword, armor, and wings out. I essentially want to intimidate them into not attacking me.
Who you callin' a norm? hehe
I grin wolfishly at them for an added effect and from the thrill of being all fiery.
While he's been talking, neither of the other two figures seems to relax. A fourth figure, hood down, runs up behind the others. Her skin is a green/blue hue with prismatic scales and she has small slits on her neck, apparently gills.
I look for any possible weapons on Shard and his friends while turning my wings off. I want to get a verbal confirmation before my armor comes off. I also want to keep a ear out in case anyone comes up behind me on the cat walk.
(Weapons Check)
(Someone behind me?)
Violence is not a necessity. We are more civilized than your world above would lead you to believe. Come with me and we can...talk. His eyes seem to be pleading with you.
From behind you, you hear an almost imperceptible scuff of sneaker on pavement. You realize there are more guards closing off the other end of the catwalk.
I put my armor and sword away as a sign of good will and follow Shard.
I hope to God that I didn't just make a huge mistake with this...
Shard glares at the gill women. He looks back at you guiltily. S-sorry.
The other cloaked figures pull a sack from their bags. It looks like its intended for you.
The gilled woman steps forward and looks you in the eyes. Her skin begins to shift through the color spectrum in an ever increasing frenzy making you somewhat nauseous watching it. She speaks firmly but softly. It will be so much better if you just come quietly. It is unfortunate but you have seen too much.
If I don't fall under the nauseating pattern ability, I'm going to head butt her in the face.
After that, I'm going to get my wings out and fly around. I'd like to find a tunnel out of the area that's big enough for me to fly through.
Nooo! The gilled woman realizes her error too late. She yells at Shard. Shoot her! He reluctantly raises a hand...and then lowers it again. The gilled woman's tirade fades as you soar further from the catwalk and down into the city proper.
From your aerial view, you see a number of concerned people pointing your way, the closest ones ducking behind whatever cover lies nearby. There is one large sewer tunnel that seems uncluttered by buildings. A waterfall of relatively clean water falls onto a massive makeshift wooden water wheel. The wheel leaks and creaks, sometimes perilously coming to a stop but always finally tilting forward. There appear to be a number of makeshift electrical streetlights (lamps taped to brooms and the like, although there is one actual streetlight present) that flicker in time with the water wheel. The large-ish building next to the water wheel is seperated from the other buildings by a good number of feet and is marked with all number of scavenged warning signs. "Peligro", "Danger: High Voltage", "Caution: Wet Floor", and even a "Deer Crossing" sign have been nailed to the building.
The large sewer tunnel appears to be the main thouroghfare for this community and is guarded by a couple of hooded figures holding makeshift spears. You could fly past them relatively easily.
Before you can fully register what these might mean, your Fire Wings wink out of existence! You fall forward towards the middle of the sewage intersection. The smell which you had just forgotten hits you full force as you slam into the sludge. Worse, it appears this section of sewage (for sewage it is) is creating an enormous eddy!
Luckily, you land on the lefthand walkway that runs alongside the channel, avoiding a very smelly demise. You notice your Fire Armor has also been extinguished. No amount of effort on your part seems to be able to reignite it. Your hands are still bound.
The light you saw nearby comes closer bobbing in time to a set of shuffling footsteps. A shaky, elderly voice speaks to you out of the gloom. Hello? Is someone there? I swear I thought I heard something...
