Battle in Brixton

Brixton high street was the scene of a major encounter between The Crusaders and an unknown force of Super humans and also a controversial night for Union Jacks unit. The crowd; made up of four hundred peacefully-protesting-through-prayer Muslims, five hundred rabid Skunk Anansie fans, Three hundred Policemen, Thirty Bow Street Runners and the inhabitants of the local area going about their business as per usual, were peaceful until after the Punk Rockers gig, as the crowd hit the streets all hell broke loose!

From all areas of the crowds gas canisters were thrown filling the air with thick black smoke, into the smoke dropped The Crusaders, and that's when things really kicked off. As the crowds panicked and burst into action running for clear air anything up to seven super humans entered the smoke to engage The Crusaders as one of The Crusaders themselves was spotted pursuing and attacking some of the Bow Street Runners.
The battle flaired all throughout the streets with Apex reportedly attacking an unarmed woman and beating her head against the floor while team new comer 'Urban' was set alight and crumpled to the floor a blase not seventy feet away from him.
Union Jack squared up and was spotted fighting Freestyle himself, who also had a tussle with Sinner. In the back streets Not Alice was bested by a powerhouse in jet black clothing who had her down and then delivered a devastating blow to the floor that ruptured gas and water mains, destroyed the road, and injured over seventy people through flying glass and debris.
Fung Chi was the only member of the team that seemed effective, attacked by two black clad assailants he bested them both and saved Not Alice from a humiliating public beat down by kicking the villain she was being hammered by twenty feet.
The mysterious villains disappeared into the smoke surrounded by blue light and left the devastation and confusion in their wake, a scene that emergency services and the Bow Street Runners and Crusaders battled to gain control of.
With the situation under control eye witnesses report witnessing a verbal conflict between a thirty strong group of Bow Street Runners and The Crusaders that looked like it could easily spill into an all out brawl as Freestyle faced up to Union Jack in the centre. Sinner was seen shaking hands with 'Kickass' and they seemed to settle their dispute, a dispute that was reignited by Kickass just hours after The Crusaders left.
'We were working the crowds all day without any problems but as soon as they arrive it all kicks off! I'm just helping people get out of there when Sinner barrels into me and tries to attack me, of course he missed because to be fair he wasn't that fast, if you see what i mean? The guys a prick, and to really ram that home as soon Yeti comes through the smoke to back me up he leaps away and hides behind Union Jack till everyone calmed down.
The Crusaders are wankers with just the tiniest bit of power and no idea about how to use it at all. They make me sick and as far as I'm concerned they are part of the problem, not the solution!'
Freestyle was quick to follow Kickass's damning verdict with his own verbal broadside to the Crusaders and Union Jack herself.
'The fact is we were in control of the situation and these amateurs rock up and all hell brakes loose. Apex is assaulting women in the street, Not Alice couldn't stop the guy that mauled her and the area she was in, Urban is obviously a lightweight, Sinner is swinging at anything that comes near him, Jack was hyper aggressive and spoiling for a fight with anyone that would go and Fung Chi...well, Chi was the only one that was worth a spit,' ranted the self appointed leader of the Bow Street Runners.
'Look at the aftermath and yeah, they used their strength to seal holes and shift debris, debris and holes they caused with their incompetence. Then, when we come together no one backs their mouthy leader who wanted a fight there and then, Sinner couldn't wait to shake hands and apologise and hide and you could see...no, you could smell him sweating it up as i eyeballed him. Sinners a bitch, hiding behind a bitch, surrounded by lightweights and jokes.'

To counter the claims made by Freestyle no woman was found suffering from injuries incurred by Apex with many police reports claiming that she was obviously a powered individual who attacked him to start with and was almost certainly with the other villains. Other witnesses claim Urban was diving in front of blasts of heat that were being aimed at the Police and so saving lives while taking the fight to the enemy, while others still claim Freestyle attacked Union Jack and all she did was brush off his feeble punches and immediately stepped in to aid Urban.

So much confusion, so many reports, and no way to really know for sure what really happened in the streets. The larger media seem to be taking Freestyles view as more likely to be the truth but here? We back heroes, not ex-villains.

Several arrests were made thanks too Urban isolating C.C.T.V footage which clearly indicates the canisters of smoke came from all the police as well as the Muslims, revellers and Runners themselves. The truth will out...that is all we can hope for.
