When the Soldiers started opening fire at the werewolf he quickly glanced in his direction and started moving, using his own speed and their blindness as key weapons against the soldiers.
He danced to directly in between two soldiers and let loose two bursts of searing light at the two of them, which would probably make them turn and fire - right into the other soldier. Meanwhile, while they were blindly firing, his speed and their poor accuracy due to being blind eased him in evading the bullets by keeping up a constant movement and changing directions to avoid them firing ahead. Since all of his attacks were bursts of searing light, it was quite similar to constantly letting off miniature flash bangs over and over which would probably keep most of them blinded by it for the fight.
When ever Joseph was in even the corner of his eye as he was moving, he kept a mental tab on him - since he was the enemy of his enemy, he was considered an ally for the time being and was ready to aid Joseph if got overwhelmed or injured. Though he didn't know of Joseph's powers, he did know he personally could heal when it came down to it.

Joseph kept a small distance between himself the Flashing man, It hurt his eyes to look at the searing light. He tried to avoid looking at it as he stuck solders with ground shattering blows and evaded what attacks he could, and preparing to transform into a wolf if they proved to much of a challenge.
He kept his ears and nose open for any indication his ally was in trouble in which case he would grab him and retreat back to try save him.

Master Zero was simply walking away from them, so it wasn't difficult for them to catch up. He groaned as the two of them prattled on. "Great, good for the both of you. Go hire a marriage counselor and let him work it out. Meanwhile, the Humans have defenses going for them you don't even know about."
*Outside Las Vegas*
Both the lord and lady looked shocked for a second at what Master Zero had said, then they both began to laugh. It seemed that they found the concept of going to speak with a counselor rather amusing. After a moment of laughter they calmed down rather quickly. The Lady turned back to Master zero her green eyes dancing with their glowing light. "That is one of the better jokes I have heard in a while. Thank you for the gift of laughter." She smiled and then her smile slowly faded. "I believe that they have defenses going for them, but all the defenses in the galaxy can't stop Aloraster if you don't know what It is and how to hurt him."
The Lord simply stood beside his wife, he knew after all that she was better at the talking game than he was, but he could also tell she was having trouble with the stranger, there was no mind to gain information from or to influence, this stranger appeared to be mechanical. He would keep quiet for the moment and let his wife keep working at the diplomatic part of the introduction, but he was starting to dislike the stranger on impression.
*D.C*
The inquisitor's gaze remained the same despite seemingly being trapped. The green robed figure seemed to shudder for brief second and then it smiled. What looked out from the eyes was alien and more so than the normal gaze of a founder, something far older and malevolent looked out from behind those eyes. The Inquisitor moved his arm with the right blade and the surprise of what appeared to be suicide allowed him to force the King's blade into it's chest where it sank deep into the body.
Blood spurted out for a brief second from the wound and then stopped and the smile remained on the Inquisitors face. He then continued moving mindless of the snap as his left arm broke as he drove his right blade straight for Star's chest also from close range. I AM LOOSE, I AM UNBOUND AND I WILL NOT BE PUT BACK. TELL THAT TO YOUR LORD CHOSEN OF THIS UNIVERSE FOR I AM SENDING YOU BACK TO MEET HIM
*Florida*
The continued flash-bangs irritated the founders to no end and they still were having difficulty tracking and hitting the targets. Finally one of the rather rattled troopers had an idea and set his weapon for HE rounds. The High explosive rounds had a wider area of effect and so would likely be more effective than the more conventional weapons. There would be however an opportunity as the founders switched weapons to hit them while they could not well respond.

(They can't really detect that he's a machine. Though yes, he is a construct, he is so incredibly advanced that it's not machinery they'd sense. They just wouldn't sense a mind at all, since it's not organic and can't be read, either. Not really important and certainly not necessitating a change, but just to let you know ...)
Finally, the blonde man stopped, turning sideways to look back at them. For just a moment, there was a flash in their senses of incredible black power where there hadn't been any energy at all before. Then it was gone again as quickly as it came. In its wake, the man's outfit had transformed into midnight-black armor that resembled some sort of robot with overlarge feet and forearms, his helmet forcing his long mane of hair back into a pony tail. A hilt of some weapon could be seen jutting up from behind his left shoulder.
"It is the enemy," he answered, "and I'll hurt him by slicing him to ribbons. There is nothing else I need to know."
*D.C.*
Much as he permitted himself to be impaled, so, too, did Star show little aversion to it. She allowed the sword to punch through her chest without anything more than a look of annoyance on her face. "Uh, yeah," she answered him. "You do that." Then, as if neither of them were still impaled on the blade of the other, she struck up conversation. "So, when are you actually going to show up so I can do this to you in person?"
Meanwhile, the magic of the blade that prevented anyone but Star from being in prolonged contact with the blade began to burn the Inquisitor away from the inside. Aloraster wouldn't have long to use the body - a few moments - before it was nothing but a pile of ash.

The Inquisitor continued to rather single-mindedly push his sword up cutting upwards through Star's chest. He figured or at least something behind him figured that cutting this annoying little pest in half should finish the job. The insides did begin to char but that was of no matter as the blade pushed upwards.SOON I ARRIVE PLANET BOUND AND THIS LAST BASTION WILL FALL, YOU WILL BE NO MORE THAN FOOD
The Look in the Inquisitors eyes was still one of ancient malignancy and hunger, but there was also something else in the eyes. The Alien sense seemed to grow even stronger. It would seem to Star that behind the Inquisitor a faint web of alien light began to appear into being. Slowly gaining form and presence. Snaking around the glowing figure seemed to be thousands of glowing streams of energy, the life-streams of countless worlds bound up around him and something else. Something more that was not quite visible. Then the bright silvered alien light bloomed around the figure and the streams were suddenly both gone. The Inquisitor coughed and spat blood before withering into a dried husk.
*Outside Las Vegas*
The Lord and Lady were slightly surprised by what they saw and the power they sense because before there had been nothing, none the less they were not going to be scared by a suit of armor appearing. The both spoke as one though in regards to Master Zero's comment. "How can you kill what is not truly there?"

"Hmph," Star huffed as she allowed her blade, unmarked by alien blood, to dissipate as the Inquisitor's own sword slid out of her on its own weight and clattered to the ground, the wound already gone. "And yet here, you've tried to kill me twice already. You're letting me down, Loud Mouth."
She turned her gaze to the alien soldiers who were just standing around and watching the scene. "Well?" she insisted of them. "What are you gonna do? You gonna actually try to fight me, or are you going to run away now?"
*Outside Las Vegas*
"Simple, I find where he really is and I kill him there." The Purifier turned to face them fully. "That's what I do. Now, any other stupid questions?"

Simon and Rebecca looked at each other again. The threat was a grave one to earth and they alone knew just how serious but this strangers lack of common sense knowledge was amusing to them as well. Simon spoke up as they looked back towards Master Zero again "It isn't a stupid question, It is how things are, how do you kill one who is not truly here?" He paused then continued. "You don't instead you send it back to where it truly is."
Rebecca tapped Simon on the shoulder and then he fell silent as she stepped forwards again green cloak rustling. "We were expecting to contact the pink girl but she has disappeared and our minds cannot find her. She would have grasped this I expect, you perhaps not." Her face was a little less than happy but she continued "If you simply charge in you will die, ask us for what you must know and we can help you with wisdom and in the fights ahead."
*DC*
The Remaining soldiers had held their guns in the ready position even as they had watched the fight and they fired just as Star began to speak to them. At least most of them did. They fired in a volley designed to cover the entire area that Star was in, in theory making it impossible to dodge to the side or up.
Several of the soldiers standing in the back began to twitch and trash as they seemed to glow and their eyes grew wider. The malevolent light began to glow around them and they chuckled all at once, not a normal laugh but one that seemed to hang in the air like a deadweight.

"I fight, lady," Master Zero told her, growing annoyed, himself. "That's what I do. And if he runs out of soldiers, I imagine he'll have one of two options, either skat or come down himself. If he skats, mission accomplished. If he comes down, himself, I kill him then, mission accomplished. Whether or not he's stupid enough to come back after that is his own business."
He turned away once more, bringing his fingers up to his forehead in a half-hearted salute. "Besides, I work alone." And in a flash of black energy, he teleported out of the area and into the city, itself.
*Las Vegas*
The sensors wouldn't have picked up anything. He was simply there, watching them gather rubble and move it into defensive positions. For all the good it would do them. "Hey, shit-for-brains!" he shouted before jumping from his perch and deliberately placing himself at the far end of their fortifications so he'd have to go through them all. No sense in not making a point in the process. "Didn't your bosses get the memo? Terra, here, is off-limits for sight-seeing! Directive Command of Eden! I'll give your green asses one chance to evacuate the premises immediately. Refuse, and I'll be using force."
His posture, his facial expression, the way he stepped back with his left foot and enclosed his grip about his saber hilt, it all plainly indicated he hoped they'd refuse.
*D.C.*
But as the flash from the weapons died down, there was nothing there but the scattered, ashy remains of the Inquisitor. Far above them, her thoughts blocked off by virtue of the device so even their psionists wouldn't have detected what she was doing, a large orb of energy was finishing being gathered in her hands. The area below her was deserted for all but the aliens, so this was a nice, clean shot.
"E.T. Go Home!" she shouted, though she was too far up for them to hear her, and she brought her hands around and fired the charged energy in a massive ki wave down at the ground below. Easily, it would wipe out them and all of their fortifications in a blast that would be seen from the scout ship in orbit.

Simon looked towards rebecca and rolled his eyes. "Are we ever going to be free of people who seem to think they can do everything?"
She looked back and smiled. "You my lord are a prime example of why we will never run out. You are one, and I don't think you are going anywhere anytime soon." Her tone was one of mocking severity. They both laughed and then turned back to the matter at hand. "I expect we should follow him, whatever he is killing the common soldiers or even inquisitors will give the wrong impression." Simon nodded.
They both vanished and the ground beneath where they were standing started to smoke and look a little blackened.
*Las Vegas*
One of the yellow wrapped founder soldiers looked quizzically at the construct that had appeared before them and he called back to the strange figure. "What is this Eden?" All the soldiers began to ready themselves for an attack and several of the black wrapped officers emerged from the center of the bunker and one of them also asked the same question. "What is this Eden?"
*D.C*
The Ki wave sped towards the earth and the Founders below realized what was happening to late. The three who had begun to glow and jerk looked up at the sky as one. They saw the pink wave of energy that flew down towards them like a flood and the mind that ruled them forced more power than their bodies could bear through them. The Life streams of the founders below were linked together suddenly as a ripple of presence sped through them.
One of them pointed a finger at the sky and began to laugh, that same alien sound that had come before when Aloraster spoke, deeper and more vast than had come from the inquisitor. The sound hung in the air. Just as the wave struck a thin beam of silver light erupted from the raised finger, it cut through the wave and the sickeningly wrong energy continued upwards directly towards Star's head. Below them the wave struck the already dissolving corpses and what remained of D.C. Disappeared in the explosion.

Master Zero just scoffed. So they didn't know. "Eden is the planet devoted solely to defending Terra, commanded and created by the Master. I am Class S Purifier Master Zero, charged with enforcing parameters on Terra. By Protocol #03-879, no extra-terrestrial contact is permitted with the people of Terra. Trespassers will be given a warning. Failure to comply will result in dismantling of rogue units. You've been given your warning already. Now what's it gonna be?"
*D.C.*
Unlike the Founders below, Star was not subject to the element of surprise like they were, and easily moved her head to one side so that the beam of energy missed completely. Allowing herself to land back in the resulting crater, she glanced about to admire the result, then planted her fists on her hips. "Three times, Loud Mouth," she mocked out loud. "That makes you oh-for-three."

One of the green robed inquisitors emerged from the center of the bunker fort and stepped forward his robes flared around him and it seemed as if from a great distance faint lines stretched away from him arching towards the sky. The Inquisitor stopped at the first line of defenses closest to Master Zero. He looked at the strange construct and then his eyes filled up with the radiant silver light.
The aura that already surrounded him hazily came to life in far greater contrast. I SEE YOU. Even as the inquisitor spoke his hand came up and a great lash of silvery energy erupted from his hand to smite Master zero optimally sending him smashing through the building behind him.

"I see you, too!" Master Zero shouted back as, with one quick step, he sidestepped the blast of psychic energy and dashed in so fast that the blast had hardly passed him before he was upon the Inquisitor, the Zeta Saber lancing out from its hilt as he drew it, erupting in green-yellow plasma as the quick, precise strike came down at the Inquisitor's middle as the Edenite moved past him, coming to stop on the far side, sword out to one side in his left hand.

But as Master Zero's sword slashed through the place where the inquisitor there was nothing there. His blade sliced through empty air and a harsh cackling sound that grew deeper and deeper sounded from behind him, the air itself seemed to shudder at the sound and around the inquisitor what little grass survived the bombardment wilted and turned to dust in seconds.
The inquisitor grabbed Master Zero from behind and with a heave threw him back into the building directly across the way from the first layer of fortification. There was a sickening grinding noise from the inquisitors joints as they took the strain from the motion. The inquisitor pointed and a wall of energy erupted and raced hungrily into the wreckage of the building.

The damage was catastrophic. The heat from now-molten stone, the clouds of filth clogging the air ... It was fortunate the figure within found breathing only a convenient pastime.
Still, with visibility blocked and Master Zero not putting off an energy signature, the Inquisitor, even channeling the energy he was, had no way of knowing what stood within. Yes, stood, without a mark, blazing sword burning bright in his grip. But he got his first clue when he heard a chuckle amidst the crackling of quickly-cooling stone. It then became clear when that chuckle rose into laughter.
"That's it?" Master Zero shouted as the wind cleared out enough of the dust to make his hazy form just visible through it, like a horrible black mirage. It seemed as if the waves made it appear like bat wings folded on either side of him, though it was a trick of the eye. "That's the power that I was supposed to be so afraid of? What a joke!"

Master Zero would probably be surprised when the Inquisitor and the power wearing him like a glove burst into a frenzy of maniacal laughter of their own. "IMPRESSIVE PURIFIER OF EDEN, THOUGH YOU AND YOUR RACE HAVE NO LIFESTREAMS AND THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ME TO CONSUME YOU." The Inquisitor's eyes grew to massive size and his face seemed to melt. His already flat face seemed to fold in on itself and only the eyes remained. In fact the inquisitors entire body seemed to be melting. Then the molten skin glowed and solidified into something that glowed with the light that it seemed was not of this universe. If master zero had been able to be able to see the life streams he would have seen something similar but in larger scale to what star had seen before.
The silvery glowing inquisitor stretched out a hand and flicked it. Chunks of earth and pavement ripped from the ground and flung themselves at master zero. While these projectiles were still flying towards Master Zero the Inquisitor's other hand stretched towards him and another blast several times as powerful as the previous attack flew towards Master Zero as well.
