The four armed monster that is Grendel is walking down the road while on behind are the surviving thirteen members of his gang. The two female supervillains, one a petite woman in fully body purple costume while the other is busty, hourglass, high tier Adonis in black silky underwear, were flanking Grendel, but a pair of white energy blasts from David has taken them both down.
"We fight," snarls Beowulf as he activates the shield and draws his sword, "We got David fighting with us right here and now and we don't know if we'll be able to convince him to do so again later. I'll deal with the gangsters, you take the villains."

Wait, does he mean he takes the henchmen and Grendel, or just the henchmen and I take the villainesses and Grendel? Aw fuck it I'll just improvise.
I unfolded the shield, hiding behind it while I approach the villain's group. I didn't really knew how to use a sword so I kept that for later. I'd rather throw paper water bomb from behind my shield. Which is what I do in order to clear the henchmen out so I have a clear line of sight to the villainesses.

David flies above, blasting away at Grendel with his energy blasts. Grendel dodges the first, but the second hits him in the top left arm. He grunts and staggers slightly. Beowulf darts forward and stabs at the closest member of Grendel's gang. The grey blade of the sword, clinks and glances away from the contrived chainmail.
"Change of plan," Beowulf yells as he parries the man's counterattack, "You take out the gang, I'll deal with the villainesses."
Beowulf sidesteps around the man he is fighting and stabs the criminal in the neck. The man gurgles as Beowulf pulls the blade out and the criminal drops to the ground as blood spurts from the hole in his throat.

Holy shit! He just killed that guy!
On the other hand they were in a fight against a guy notorious for killing any metahuman just in case...
Survival now, ethics later.
Nobody seemed to be using guns so I folded the shield partially, that would make for easier and faster bomb throws, which I start immediately, only being careful of not hitting Beowulf by accident. I'll uses mainly water bomb but I'll add the ice ones once everybody is soaked.

The supervillainess in the black underwear starts to get up, but David blasts her in the back. She crumples with her back torn open by the energy blasts. Meanwhile Beowulf charges Grendel and stabs in the eye (awesome roll of natural twenty! I'm going with the rule of natural twenties meaning good things for the roller while bad things if the roller rolls a natural 1). The supervillain howls and swipes at Beowulf with two of his greatswords, but the vigilante easily dodges the clumsy strikes (natural 1). Beowulf slashes at Grendel, but the villain parries.
"I feel great!" laughs Beowulf, his eyes shining white for a split second, "Hell, I never felt stronger!"
Enraged by his injury, Grendel lobs one of his swords at Beowulf, but misses and impales on of his own followers (another natural 1 - you're sucking Grendel). Now the other gangsters look unhappy with the fight, but before they can react, they are disrupted by exploding water. They scatter slightly as the cold water soaks them.

I follow up with a ice bomb on the closest soaked henchman. That should keep him in place until the police could pick him up...
I feel like we're forgetting someone...

Beowulf stabs Grendel in the arm, drawing blooding. Roaring with anger, Grendel tosses all of his greatswords at Beowulf, he blocks them with the shield, all of the weapons disappearing into the hyperspace of the shield. "Bring on old man!" Beowulf challenges Grendel, "I am Beowulf! .I shall slay you, just as my namesake slew your namesake." Meanwhile David took out the two baseline gangsters closest to his hours. The remaining eight decided this was the time to high tail it, flying back down the way they came. The petite woman in purple gets to her feet, glaring at the two vigilantes. *** I got to stop for dinner now.

*** Sorry to break the flow here, but can I join in once Oshha gets back?
Edit: Yeah it finished up a bit earlier than I thought ***

Okay Edit: Back early? I don't have any problem with it. ***
Is that costume conductive? Well let's try it...
I got a yellow paper bomb out of the pouch, struggling a little to do the activation folds with the gloves on. I've got to find a better way...
Then I threw it at the villainess in purple. I feel like I should say something witty...

I'm back. *** The electricity crackles around the lady, but is absorbed by a pink energy field around the lady. She runs faster than the eye can see, tripping up Beowulf and slamming him into the ground (Beowulf's luck ran out it seems). Seeing his chance, Grendel reaches for Beowulf, only to cover his eyes as David blasts him twice the face.
Meanwhile a large, burly man in silver armour enters the road from the other end of the street.

Oh fuck a Speedster!
What could I do? I didn't had anything fast enough to take her on... She would recover too quickly from a water bomb, I wouldn't be able to get a direct hit with a ice one...
Field control. Gotta trip her.
I start to throw water bombs in her path, following with ice bombs to glaze the ground with slippery ice.
Try to run on that!

After arriving at Einn's Burrow, I was immediately beset by 911 calls. Apparently, there was a Metahuman brawl going down on some street. So, I hurried over there.
I pause at the end of the street and take in the chaotic battle in front of me. A huge monster who identified as the local villain, Grendel, got blasted back by a flying man, must be one of he Brock's. Grendel's henchmen were fleeing down the other end of the street. I clenched my fists in rage, watching them get away hurt me deeply. Two villainesses who looked vaguely familiar were fighting a slender person in a white mask who threw white grenades and a man with a sword and armor, much like Grendels.
Criminals, I think. Criminals everywhere.
"ENOUGH!" I roar, releasing a spout of purefire above my head and wreathing my shoulders in it for drama. "EVERYONE, STAND DOWN."

By the way guys, any swearing I'll be writing will be in this form @$#£%* *** Grendel looks at the new arrival. "Time to &%£@# off," grumbles the supervillain with one last glance at the unconscious Beowulf and stamps on the vigilante's sword. He scoops up the Adonis supervillain in the black underwear before running off after his remaining gang. The petite woman in purple easily dodges White Kitsune's bombs and even fires off a blast of energy at White Kitsune, but hits the vigilante's shield. With a glance at the rest of her allies fleeing, she vanishing from sight. Meanwhile David hovers in the middle of the sky.

Does swearing make you uncomfortable? I can censor my posts if you'd like ***
That went better than I expected for a first fight while we where unprepared.
I look at the newcomer in the distance: Who is he? He didn't looked like he was with Grendel so they should be safe for now. Probably. I urge to the side of Beowulf make sure that he isn't too gravely injured.

I watched the villains leave, struggling and resisting the urge not to run after them. Gotta deal with these guys first, I think to myself.
I start to walk forward. "My name is Paladin. I'm from the United Heroes. You must be Mr. Brock," I nod to the flying man. "But I don't know who you are." I look questioningly at the boy in the white mask.
"It doesn't really matter anyways. I'm here to offer you all the chance to join the UH. As I'm sure you know, vigilantism is illegal, and so is refusing Metahuman registration. We could use the help of people like you to protect this town."
