Nathan had an idea. He had a fantastic idea. It went something like this: "Burn the building down!" he shouted. "Seal the entrances and let's set this place ablaze!" He had no way of defending himself from the kinetics, except to make a small profile to be struck by minimal force. He figured his feet would be the best place to take the initial hit, so he let himself fall onto his back before the strike hit him.
((You're as bad as Venom, aren't you?))

Zane, who had been heading over towards where Anatoly was, noticed the attack just in time to drag up a pillar of ice in front of him. He knelt down behind it and, worried that the ice may shatter, created a shield between him and the pillar. He didn't like the idea of burning the place down. Besides it being slightly illegal, it would create a giant fire, and, as he'd been reminding himself pretty much the whole fight, he wasn't a fire-friendly person. He doubted that it would matter, though, since none of them even knew who he was, and if it would defeat the enemy, it was probably something that should be done regardless of his fear.

((I mean, there's more to this RP than just the fighting. There is some serious intrigue going on here. Maybe some investigation would help.))
Nathan's feet shattered under the impact.
Zane was safe, due to his quick thinking with creating the secondary shield.
The others managed to survive, through their own various methods.
The Roses now charged, splitting up to engage the Blazers. One Rose went against Farley and Wilde; Rufus was on his knees and panting, clearly unable to fight. Another Rose made Anatoly his target; a third, Zane and Mike. The fourth skipped back, ready to assist any of the others.

Mike was trying to think of something, anything that he could qualify as a weakness about them, but so far the only thing he noticed was that they never strayed out of at least one of each other's sights. If he could pick off whichever one was supposed to be keeping watch over the others they might be able to overpower the rest of them as they try to reorganize themselves. He remote froze the ground under the one that had stayed back and launched some larger shards at him, masking them from the others as misfires on the one coming towards him, figuring that they would be too large to be simply brushed away. He kept watch on the one coming towards him, making sure he was ready to defend himself.

Blaine went to investigating what had happened since he last did anything.

The Rose saw the attack coming, since it was his job at the time to keep an eye open, so he was already moving as the remote ice froze under him.
He responded by firing a kinetic punch at Mike's chin.
Clearly, head-on tactics weren't working.

While Mike had been attacking, Zane had moved closer to him. Figuring that he'd rather have a conscious partner than an unconscious one, though he really wasn't sure if the attack would knock him out or not, Zane threw up an ice shield to block the kinetic punch. He did not attack, however. That's all that they had been doing and they hadn't so much as scratched the enemy. The closest they had gotten was when one of the enemies had been standing there, not moving, staring into someone's eyes. He gazed over at the other enemies for a moment, hoping to gain some insight, although he didn't expect much. He had just become a Blazer, after all, and he really didn't know much about being one.

Mike had been hoping that the guy wouldn't have been able to move before the ground froze under him, but apparently he wasn't that lucky. Now another blazer, someone he didn't recognize from either side, had thrown up a shield to help protect him and he was grateful for that. Then he remembered what had happened to the wall when the kinetic blast had hit it and so he quickly threw up another wall between the first barrier and themselves so they wouldn't get cut open by the shards. He wasn't positive, but he was pretty sure that the kinetic attacks dissipated after coming into contact with anything solid enough to take the hit. He kept a close eye on the one coming towards him and this new guy readying himself to defend or attack as need be.

Another good call: it happened exactly like Mike had predicted. They were learning, but would it be enough to beat the Roses?

Shocks of pain ran from Nathan's feet, down his legs, through his spine, and then exploded in his skull. His head ringing, Nathan decided to try and drag himself out or at least behind something in the warehouse; he could decide what to do from there.
In this delirious state, he realized he had a strange question for the other Blazers, and he asked it of them.
"Why?" he cried. "Why are you..." He gave off, realizing he had just drawn attention to himself, but decided to stay down, priming Mystickers in the off chance he got the chance to defend himself.

"Our job is to eliminate all Blazers!" the four Roses chanted in unison. One of them, the one nearest Nathan, seemed to have been a nano-second behind on chanting. But that could have just been his delirious state, and drawing attention from that man might not end well. At all.
Choices, choices.

In a flash, Nathan saw he might be able to talk his way out of it. If he were insanely lucky.
"But why is that your job? Aren't you Blazers?" He tried to keep it down a little, so it wouldn't be shouted. Hopefully that would leave him... non-attention attracting, over-much.

"We work for the government! We are not susceptible to corruption like freelance Blazers like you!"
Again, the same thing. They appeared to be brainwashed zealots...right?

"What corruption? Don't you know who the Guardians are?" This was taking a risk, but Nathan was running out of options.

"Who monitors the Guardians?" one said.
"An autonomous organization always has the potential to grow corrupted," said another.
"Once we finish eradicating you, then we will give up our Stickers," the third Rose said.
"Blazer Black and," - split second pause, Nathan thought - "the Guardians must be destroyed for the safety of the public," said the final Rose, who was a few feet from Nathan and grappling with Wilde.
