Group Fight

As the sonic blast separated him from his friends, Tony was stunned for a brief time. Through the suit monitors, Jarvis saw his master was temporarily incapacitated so it took control of the armor and positioned it in the most favorable spot for when Tony recovered. 

 "I haven't heard a woman scream like that since that girl Jenny's mom walked in on us and tried to join the fun. How's the suit Jarvis?"

 "Operating at 100 percent capacity, sir. Also, I do believe the woman you are referring to was Jaina, not Jenny."

 "Whatever, start scanning that red and silver suit. It looks a bit familiar."

 "Hey, Tin Man. What, you couldn't afford the gold coloring to copy me completely?"

 Ziek looked over at Iron Man, "Hey, that voice sounds like a twerp my dad used to have working in our basement. Said his name was Rony or something. I changed it to Pony and had him beat until he told me he liked the name. It was appropriate as Dad said he was our ride to success."

 Ziek fired a couple of rapid blasts towards Tony. But took notice of a large snake crawling towards Scream Queen so he shouted out a warning.

 Tony dodged the shots and returned fire but also missed.

 "Sir, I suggest gaining the high ground on your opponent. Shooting any blasts that can actually damage his armor, could potentially damage the roof of this base if you missed."

 "Good idea!" Tony quickly flew to a higher spot than Ziek and let loose with some truly damaging blasts. Several of which hit and caused damage to the Tin Man.

 "Oh, wait. I remember now, your name was Stain right? I'll just call you Stain, because you are a stain on your suit. You rely too much on your AI during fights, which makes you predictable."

 "Sir, I have detected no such pattern in his actions. Are you sure you are correct?"

 "Nope, I'm not. But it should piss him off to hear me say that."

 "Wednesday, love. Let's start powering up the blasts before releasing them, shouldn't take too many of them to take down this flashy prick."

 "Yes, boss. But be aware that such a blast can pose a risk to the structure around us."

 "So!!!" Ziek started blasting more shots at Iron Man. "But, maybe make sure I don't blast the QED in my haste, ok love?"

 "Anything for you boss."

 As Iron Man and Stain continue fighting, Jarvis finished his scan of Ziek's armor. 

 "Sir. His armor seems relatively similar to your design, all major components are in relatable areas. If you can remove or damage his chest piece, then he will be rendered inoperable." 

 "Sounds like a plan, let's move in closer. See if those Tae Bo classes with Emely helped any."

 Tony rushed in to try and get close to Stain and bring this fight to a more hands-on vs the shooting range it had been so far.

 As soon as he did this, Tony started to get the upper hand and dominate his opponent. 

-(Scene Shift)-

 When the Sonic blast hit, Devilbat was blasted to the side near a figure in a red and yellow outfit. He instantly tried to land a blow in surprise, and he actually felt the beginnings of contact with his knuckles before the figure disappeared.

 Just the minute second of contact that Johny felt to his jaw being impacted by Devilbat scared him, so he wanted to end this battle quickly. 

 Devilbat lunged forward trying to trap the speedster in his swing angle, but Johnny quickly retreated and then ran forward to land a punch on Matt's head, then retreat again. Matt tried pulling the speedster towards a corner so he could limit his movement, but Johnny wasn't having any of that. 

 Taking advantage of a blast from Ziek that landed nearby, Johnny rushed Devilbat and threw two hooks from different directions. Johnny smiled at the force of the impact. However, he stayed in one spot too long and a blindside kick from Matt landed separating them. Matt tried to take advantage of the kick only to watch as once again Johnny ran away out of his reach to shake off the blow.

 Another blast that landed near Devilbat pushed him slightly off balance and Johnny took advantage of this. Running forward he grabbed Devilbats shoulders and rushed him into a nearby wall. The impact made Matt dizzy for a moment. Johnny quickly ran to pick up a piece of sharp rebar from a collapsed wall and ran towards Devilbat fully intent on running him through. 

 Before he could get to him though, Silverflash came from out of nowhere and knocked Johnny off his feet, when Johnny fell, the rebar hit the ground and slid out of reach. Matt took a deep breath and scanned the area for his next target when he heard the sound of a flapping cape above him. He jumped forward and his senses told him that Owlman had just jumped down from the rafters above and tried to take him out. 

 Matt pulled a couple of Batwings and threw them at Owlman. Testing his opponent's reflexes and patterns. 

 Owlman dodged the Batwings and clutching a wing of his own like a knife in his grip, he started to fire off rapid punches at Devilbat to keep him off balance.

 Matt detected a weird odor from the wing in Owlman's fist and assumed it was poisoned. When Owlman overextended just a fraction of an inch, Matt grabbed his arm and pulled it forward, taking Owlman more off balance. He bent his arm and wrist to make him drop the wing and then Matt delivered a solid right uppercut in Owlman's gut, forcing his back to a wall.

 Owlman responded by trying to rake Matt's face with his claws and followed that miss with a right hook that Matt ducked under. Matt landed another uppercut from his position and noticed that Owlman was retreating toward a set of stairs leading back to the scaffolding. 

 -(Scene Shift)- 

 Superman simply shrugged off the blast from the sonic scream, but it was harder to ignore the volume of the scream with his level of hearing. Still, this did not hinder his thoughts of being the first to get Ultraman's attention. He did not strike Clark as the type of opponent to hold back on anyone. He flew into Ultraman and landed a body blow trying to determine the level of strength he could use without putting his opponent at risk of death. 

 Ultraman grinned at the blow; it had barely registered as a hit. He delivered a full-strength punch to the head of this stupid scientist cast failure in front of him. But much to his surprise his fist felt an ache at the blow and this EL was only knocked back a few feet. 

 The two began flying and trading blows, Superman slowly increasing his attack power until he saw it began to make an impact on his opponent and Ultraman just continued to use his full strength the whole time. He had no fear of running out of stamina because no one could last long being punched like this.

 The two continued knocking each other through walls and Ultraman finally got fed up with simply punching so he used his Ultra Ray from his eyes to teach this punk a lesson. Superman dodged the heat vision from his opponent and tried to move in closer to continue the battle hand to hand. Getting punched didn't bother him much as he had built up a pain tolerance in all his past fights. He noticed that Ultraman started to shy away from his blows, especially the ones focusing on his ribs.

 Ultraman surprised Clark by grabbing him by the shoulder and throwing him through several support pillars in the hangar as well as some missile-shaped objects. As Superman lay on the floor for a moment he saw that Ultraman was building up heat in his eyes to deliver a charged eye laser attack. Superman quickly grabbed a reflective device next to him and strengthened it with his Biokinetic field, then charged up his own eyes. 

 Once Ultraman unleashed his Ultra Laser at Superman, he deflected it back the way it came and added another blow from his own heat vision. This knocked Ultraman out of the air and he slid along the floor in rough shape.
