Gravity Heroes

Chapter 68

Bunker

Delphi's Temple

Frantically watching over the battlefield, Delphi and Adam were trying to keep track of what all is going on.

"Glamur, Testosteraur is down. He may need you to revive him. Not sure what happened exactly," Delphi called out helpful observations as she tapped a different button as she went allowing her to send the message to a specific team member, "Flux, the video feed is registering a weird aura emanating from that sword. Be careful."

From over at the holographic projection table Adam was watching the feed from a different video camera. Like Delphi he was tapping different call signs on the screen and calling out warnings, "Dip... I mean Shifter, Reaper appears to be heading your way watch out. Brainbuster. From what I've been able to ascertain, the Fomori were a group of Celtic gods or demons, it gets sketchy. But that means if your guy's telling the truth he's at least a demi-god, be careful. Will O' be careful, it almost seems as if he's going in a controlled fall. He maybe trying to lull you into a false sense of security."

"Lee, I hope we have a big enough table. It looks like Testosteraur may be coming in sore," Delphi said into the intercom.

"Oh, boy. I'll see what I can do man," Lee's voice came back from the intercom speaker.

Battlefield

Shifter was soaked as he rose from the ground, yet despite the seeming blizzard that surrounded him he was no colder than if he had just gotten out of the pool during his stint as the assistant life guard. In fact the snow didn't even seem to touch him.

"I don't know how much you know about the local wildlife," Shifter said as he began to grow larger and his skin turned green, "but I'll give you one lesson for free. On thing you never want to do is to get a Gremgoblin wet."

As the transformation completed, Shift rushed towards Deluge. Not sure if the villain had any notion of what a Gremgoblin even was, he just roared as he charged. As he got closer he saw that Deluge was doing his best to keep from looking him in the eyes. It was at this point he heard his father's voice over his earbud warning him about the oncoming Reaper. As he swiped at Deluge, he felt Reaper coming closer.

Meanwhile

A second lunge forced Flux even further away from his belt, so it looks like he's stuck in the iron body he started out with for the time being. He just hopes that Delphi was wrong about there being something more about the sword than it's ability to change. He should have grabbed some type of weaponry before heading out, but he thought his altered form would be weapon enough. He decided to talk to Candy about making him some type of weapon or defensive item

After another step back and another dodge, he found himself backed against a tree. Slipping around the back of the tree, looking up he saw a branch within reach so he grabbed it. As he broke it off he said, "Sorry Will O', I need the help."

The based of the branch was about the width of his wrist. Gripping it he spun around when he heard the sound of the snow behind him being crushed down. He brought the branch up in time to deflect the sword away from him. Surprisingly the branch held it's own.

Elsewhere

Will O' followed Bugz down but slowed her descent and kept a weary eye on him. Seeing that she was no longer speeding after him, Bugz landed in a tree and began hopping from branch to branch trying to lose Will O'. As he landed on the next tree in his path the branch wrapped around him.

"You're fighting a nature spirit, so you try to hide in nature?", Will O' said as she floated in front of him.

"And you zould know better zhan to ztop in front of me," Bugz said before he spit out a gob of acid. It flew straight at her and then flew straight through her.
