Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tatsumi saw one of them stumble back as if punched in the chest while two of them accelerated. The other jerked his legs as if they were planted to the ground. Ah... seems that one has a chain around his hips while the other likely has a layer of metal in his boots, but the other two... he thought as he set one foot onto the backseat of the car and pushed off, somersaulting as he fired off a webline and stuck it to one of the thugs' chest before he jerked as the man paused, looking down in surprise as the webline retracted. He apparently heard something, since he looked up in time to catch both of Tatsumi's feet full in the face, sending him staggering several paces backwards. As he somersaulted backwards off of the guy's face, he fired a couple of compact webshots that glued the other thug's feet to the ground. He looked up just as Chun-Li hauled off and kicked him in the chest, throat, groin and face all in the space of a few seconds, more than hard enough to free him.

Tatsumi nodded slightly. "They've got dozens like these morons... too damn stupid to be much good for information," he said idly. Ken cleared his throat. "Unless ya want more of 'em showing up, we better get moving," he said with an edge of faint annoyance and cockiness.

Tatsumi blinked. "What makes you so sure?" he said quietly as he jogged back towards Alexis. He cocked his head slightly before suddenly pushing off, narrowly evading a swung aluminum bat by another thug in black and red with a black mohawk. The man grunted as Tatsumi landed, crouching on his shoulders. "Ah... the armed ones have metal weapons, which you should be able to feel, if not manipulate, and the others probably have steel toed boots," he said thoughtfully, somersaulting at the last moment as another bat swung, slamming into the side of the thug's head hard enough to knock him into the fence with a thump. "Hey, pal... there's a thin line between 'batter up' and knocking someone's head off," he said dryly as he ducked another swing of the bat, this one wooden. He drove a punch into the side of the guy's face, dropping him to one knee before he tried an uppercut that missed completely as Tatsujin slid his chin back precisely an inch before he grabbed the guy around the abdomen and suplexed him into the ground before half turning and punting the unlucky thug in the gut, sending him easily eight feet off of the ground in an arc before a webline attached itself to the guy's shoulder blades. Tatsujin shifted, jerking the momentum sharply in another drection and slamming the man hard enough into the others from above to raise a plume of dust from the impact.

Tatsumi snorted. "I don't know, nor do I care... and I wouldn't feel bad, since I doubt they'll feel bad about ganging up four or five of them on one of us given the chance, Alexis," he said dryly as he pushed off, kicking two thugs in the face before he twisted and caught the chain of one guy as he flicked it at Tatsumi's face in mid air during a somersault. "I guess he wants his chain jerked around," he muttered as he yanked the chain hard, sending the thug staggering forward before Spearing the guy hard into the ground. He saw Chun-Li wince at the impact, glancing his way as she kicked one guy in the face, breaking the thug's nose.

Tatsumi saw several of the thugs start backing away warily, though he did see one guy get jerked into the air when he didn't let go of the chain an instant before he did let go and land atop one of his buddies in a sprawled heap. "Damn... call the World's Dumbest out here.. we got more than enough of the dumbest thugs category," he said wryly.

Tatsumi snorted a laugh as he leapfrogged over one thug's head before grabbing the guy from behind and flipping, tossing the guy into three others who were backing away and looking like they wanted to flee. "I would ask Venom to eat their brains... but all it would be counting as is empty calories, considering calling these guys smart would be like calling an autistic person another Einstein," he said dryly.

Venom looked annoyed. "That iss the mosst idiotic thing I have ever heard you ssay, boy," he hissed, crossing his arms over his chest. Tatsumi snorted. "Personally, I suspected the comics came up with the brain eating thing as a gimmick to freak readers out, even before he showed up," he said dryly, rolling his eyes as the mask retracted; he hadn't even noticed that the suit had taken the form that Spider-Man's suit had taken when he'd worn it, albeit with Venom's... expanded 'eyes'.

Venom snorted, swinging a hand at one of the pinned down thugs. He didn't seem to notice his hand making contact, apparently used to it phasing through objects. The thug, however, realized it quickly as he was sent flying and slammed into the ground several feet short of the barn. Tatsumi's eyes widened fractionally as Venom glanced around, apparently confused. "What the hell?" he muttered, the slight hissing tone of his voice fading noticeably. "I thought so; seems if our 'guides' feel extreme stress, whether in a fight or emotional stress... they can become truly physical here, if only for a brief time," he said thoughtfully before his hand snapped back, a condensed web ball firing from the back of his hand and hitting a thug, where it expanded suddenly and encased the thug from knees to shoulders, sending the guy flat onto his face feet from Alexis' back.
