Horrors at the Asylum Part 2 Report

General Summary

The New Champions are engaged in a brutal fight against mutants escaping from the NexHuman HQ location (what appears to be an abandoned asylum).    With civilians, technicians, and doctors all having escaped thanks to Wildthing and Windwalker, the only remaining normals in danger were the armed mercenaries - seemingly from the same group of soldiers who attempted to ambush Faust at the carnival. And these mercenaries were not faring any better against the mutants than they did against Prisoner 241 (now known as RoboCon).   The mutants, made of earth and stone, but horrendously marred with gaping holes and postules, were slicing through the mercenaries with ferocious anger...chasing them down in the woods. Some of the soldiers fled for their lives after Wildthing intervened, but others weren't so lucky.   Blinded by one of the mutants, Faust was flying upward to avoid unseen danger...but a beam of energy shot out of the asylum's bell tower and captured him in mid-air, slowly pulling him toward the tower. The same fate was met by Cypher who had just narrowly dodged the entangling snare of another mutant. Almost paralyzed, Cypher was also slowly being pulled toward the tower of the asylum.   But then Sandcrab appeared on the scene, grabbing Cypher out of the air and wrestling him to the ground. The beam of energy remained attached to Cypher, though, and Sandcrab's pincers wrapped around Cypher to prevent him from being torn in half by the pull of the beam and by Sandcrab's own strength. In a flash, Sandcrab leapt into the air with Cypher and landed nearly a kilometer away.   Meanwhile, Ghost was the New Champions' last line of defense against the remaining Mutants. She soared across the open field, darting into the woods -- and into the mutants -- pummeling them repeatedly into the ground. Out of breath and disoriented from the fray, she made her way toward the final mutant.   Sandcrab leapt back into the fray, landing near an enormous felled-tree. Grasping it in his hands, he tossed the tree toward the final mutant, sending it flying backward onto the ground, just in time for Ghosts last burst of flying attacks. The last mutant was subdued.   Regaining her sight, Nemesis had already made her way inside the asylum, attempting to disable the retractor-beam from the inside; Windwalker had followed. And as Nemesis was making her way up the stairs toward the tower, Wildthing was able to deftly perch on top of the tower, outside of the building. Pounding on the device that produced the beam, she was unable to harm it. But looking around, she found thick cabling leading from the device into the building. Swiping with her claws, she cut through cords and disabled the machine. No longer connected to the beam, Faust started to fall through the open hatch...but quickly recovered and righted himself in the air.   Now inside the building, the New Champions began to look around the mysterious hallways, lights glowing red from the alert sirens. Sandcrab tunneled into the basement, noticing the same red-glowing lights.   What horrors will the New Champions find in the Asylum? The series continues on Wednesdays at 8PM central.
