Nitrox was too tired to speak. Since the sawing wasn't particularly working, he thought about trying something else. He had been conserving his NX, but he had enough to try his plan.

Despite the blaring scar on his hand, he summoned forth three-quarters of his remaining NX in order to have his body rapidly vibrate, trying to loosen the wires in order to slip out from them.

The vibrations carried through the entire wire, making it shake intensely.

Rintuk would shake his head slightly, sitting on his haunches as he was examined. He gave his examiner an odd look (especially for being a wolfish creature) and seemed to 'speak' to him, "Why must you stare?" Rin almost sounded exhasperated.

"Forgive me, but I had not been told any of you guys were still alive when we shut down that lab." Man of Action says turning away from Rintuk. "You want a job?" He asks.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Fuse's wires vibrate, and loosesn, but the damage to one of the wires combined with Nitrox's vibration causes a massive shot circuit between Fuse and Nitrox.

Leslie watched the interaction as she flipped through the song list. Rintuk intrigued her. Wow, that's a cool looking... thing? Whadya call something like that?

The White Knight loads the shorted out Fuse, and Nitrox onto the platform. With a minor grunt he lifts the platform off the ground in the direction indicated by Man of Action.

Man of Action leads his team of heroes toward what he already knows is too late. Along the way the Shadow Alliance watches them from the rooftops, while other forces in Megalopolis vanish for mysterious reasons. Still other forces watch in pure amusement of the struggles of other beings.
