Utter chaos...
That was really the only way she could describe what was happening. It had already been pretty crazy when Wish stole Paragon away, and they all had to fight Casey, Kevin, and Hannah. She was still trying to process the fact that not only was Kevin a very dangerous Super, but Hannah had also changed into one. All of the Kevin clones pulled themselves back together, and so the number of villains lowered, but with Green Wolf and the others here, it still wasn't looking good.
She hadn't even gotten to speak to Battery before he was suddenly dragged off by Fairy Queen.
Then Ocean Empress suddenly pulled up in the boat that belonged to the Watch Dogs, with the Sub Enforcers right behind her.
There were twelve villains and sixteen heroes, but they'd only keep the numerical advantage until Kevin split himself.
She had been expecting it to turn into a weird standoff. In the movies, this would be the part where all the good guys and bad guys stop to stare down and go into a debate. This wasn't a movie, though. Golden God was making a beeline for the tower where Paragon and Wish were. Fairy Queen was a dot on the horizon, dragging Battery off, and Green Wolf wasted no time slashing his sword out and firing a wave of kinetic force, not caring who he was aiming at. Demonica did the same, smashing her arm into the ground and erupting the floor with a massive purple explosion.
She countered the blast by hopping back and raising her foot, using all of her power to send it crashing down into the ground. She hit it hard enough to kick up a massive wave of dust, and most of the Supers around her were blown back. No one was able to see, and attacks flung out wildly. Green Wolf and Demonica were seemingly trying to catch each other in the crossfire, and the Wandering Coin kids didn't need to worry about damaging each other since they all healed, so they didn't hold back and unleashed the most destructive attacks they could muster.
As the battle broke out, beams of blood and water, shards of ice, and waves of energy were unleashed through the thick dust. She jumped away and felt herself go back-to-back with someone.
"Nice shield." Metal Ronin called out. He was in his larger suit—the one he had built after his battle with Wish.
"Thanks. Battery gave it to me." She raised her shield just in time, blocking a stray blast of bone spears.
"Ocean Empress came straight to Money Tree and got him," Metal Ronin stated. His shoulder opened up and locked onto a powerful heat source, likely Demonica, firing dozens of rockets into the air. "Wasp Nest is still down and hasn't woken up yet. We wanted to wait for him to fully recover, but it turns out you guys really needed our help."
"Yeah, things didn't exactly go according to plan. I'm confident we'll make it work some way, though!" She announced.
Metal Ronin nodded his head. "From what I was told, that Pretty Face guy stayed behind and, with the help of the Hero Branch members, is going to put several members of Zoo behind bars. You guys did pretty well. All that's left now is to take out the boss!"
She pushed off of Metal Ronin and weaved through the dust cloud, dodging stray attacks from all directions. Her super senses were cranked up to the max, and it allowed her to find the person she needed. She wrapped her arm around Poseidon and practically dragged the girl out of the cloud.
"Where's Paragon?" Poseidon shouted out.
"Working on that. Can you make us lighter with your gravity?" She yelled back.
Poseidon looked down at her, and she could tell the girl was debating several things. She knew Poseidon didn't like her much, not after that first incident with Paragon. The girl cared more about her sister than her hatred, though, and eventually, Poseidon sighed and nodded. "Okay."
