    [Cloudtops]

    Trying to suck heat out of giant abomination works about as well as one might expect sucking heat out of a thing that's directly linked to a hellish extra-planar inferno would. That is to say, it really doesn't work at all.

    Shot in the eyes, zapped in the spine, and levitated into the air. At this point the giant monster seems to be unconscious! And floating. Both of those things. It's just kinda hanging there all limp-like. Maybe someone should figure out what to do with it?

    Should probably do something about all those molten mouthers, too.

    Like punching them in the teeth! Luckily they have lots of those, so it's hard to miss. The monster's... face?... caves in upon impact moments before it's launched backwards.

    Zoe drops on the mouther she had blinded and does a nice impression of a Cuisinart, hacking the burning mass of protoplasm into ribbons. Thankfully she had enough sense to bulk up on fire-resistance before fighting a giant fire monster. Seems like a generally wise plan.

    More mouthers are oozing in out of that ruined building!

    "I'm going to pretend I know what those places are and assume my friends didn't get plane-shifted along with me and Big T," Zoe says. She then casts a brief glance toward the now hovering dino-abomination and grunts. "Huh. That's different."

    "Woah!"

    The apparent Magical Girl in the skirt and thigh-high boots maneuvers her platform out of the spikes' way, although one clips it, and it becomes visible, shattering...before, after only a short drop, it reforms, vanishes, and she starts circling the monster like an angry bee that got into some fermented nectar.

    Odd, it might almost seem as if she's using constructs.
    Naaaah.
    Coudn't be.

    "Hey, you!" That means you, Zoe! "Howdaya take this thing down?" And then she hears The Big Question. "Welcome to tha' Nexus, sistah!"

    ===

    [Meanwhile, on the other side of Skyside...]

    An airship of moderate size soars lazily along the skyline...giving little to no visual hint that it's a hologram around a smallish spaceship, its occupant, being Susan, looking out across the flying city.

    "So. Impressive, isn't it?" she asks her nonorganic companion.

    Where the Monsters are Not

    Neni examines the cityscape idly. She does not seem particularly moved by it. "Given the apparent average technology level of the Nexus, yes. The technology needed for this is not uncommon where I come from, but in the Nexus it is a definite show of scientific and perhaps magical power. The question is how much good is done with it."

    "Well, given the circumstances, yeah. And I guess the answer to that question remains to be seen." Susan shrugs. "Where I come from, this kind of place becomes one of two things: a wreched hive of scum and villiany, or a place swarming with mad scientists trying to one-up each other in a constant quest to show them, to show them all. I assume it was different for you though."

    "Hives of scum and villainy? I imagine that such places do not stay flying very long. Anything this complex requires constant maintenance. The same is true of any space station, space ship, or even a large land-based facility. If there is no one keeping the whole place afloat, it will sink. That is the truth in any city, it is simply more literal here."

    "As thus, facilities like this are often funded by some government or other large body with large amounts of money. The why varies, of course, but the point stands that without some sort of unification, this will fail."


    Neni has her usual outlook, it seems: jaded and highly educated.

    "You'd be surprised; one of the other large bodies with large amounts of moneys is often a crime syndicate," Susan observes; she, too, is jaded, just in a somewhat different way. "You might want to access files on the Hutts when you get a chance. Now, I don't think this lot will ever really come together against those running the place, but..."

    "I believe we have a miscommunication. Scum 'hives,' as I understand them, are made of a loose collection of individuals or unofficial groups that interact in a given area. No one controlling force, in fact borderline anarchy. A formal government can be in place, but any such government is corrupt and/or weak, making them comparable to the other groups in terms of control. Rather contrary to 'Hive' when referring to eusocial animals, but I did not make the decision on the language. The precise connotations must vary between our experiences."

    "Organized crime cartels are, as they say, a whole other beast. One that I would not be surprised to find operating in this city."

    "...ahh. I've heard of that before. But never actually encountered one," Susan admits. "And you're probably right. It's pretty much a paradise for that sort of thing. Well, less so than some parts of Riverside, I suppose."

    "From what I know, each sector of the city is pretty much legitimately run by its own gang," Susan observes with a chuckle. "Perfectly Legitimate Businesmen, of course. Although one is supposedly a vampire sector where it's always night."

    "It's likely that more research would have to be done to fully understand the Riverside situation, then. Even simple-seeming situations are often complex, and that situation seems to be complex even at a glance."


    Neni then decides to address the issue at hand. "Now then, Susan, what do you intend to do with this visit?"

    Yes... that's what Neni was afraid of. "I'll start querying for potential leads on such jobs, see if I can find some kind of hub. The nigh-omnipresent free wireless access seems to have been made with digital exchanges in mind, it should be a simple matter to find something." Something that won't get them shot, to be precise.

    Monster Mash

    Black Maul lets the dinozilla float upwards until it's above the skyline, and then she adjusts the controls to halt its upward momentum and send it sideways, then lower it again until it's floating at the same height as the floating island and off to one side. It seems a safe enough place to park it for now - people below the floating island know well enough to look out for falling rubbish from above. She supposed she'll need to take it out and lower it into the sea - gently, to avoid making a tsunami - but she'll need to rent a skycycle to make that trip. Note to self - buy a skycycle.

    Maneuvering the dinobomination takes enough time that she won't be able to do anything about the remaining monsters this round or probably the next either.

    "It means monsters like that attacking daily." Invincibelle explains. "Also whatever you imagine has at one point or another come true or been a person here. Yes, even that. Especially that."

    Invincibelle reaches behind her back and pulls out a metal staff sort of like the one Nightwing uses. Because there are just some things you don't want to punch, no matter how punchable they are.

    So instead, bapping these mouthers with the pole sounds like a good idea. Quick swift hits preferably. But again, she has much to learn about combat and footing and such, so I'm not sure she'll be that effective. Still, these don't seem to be too bad. Yet. She's reasonably sure it's going to get bad when surrounding and swarming happens. Which it looks like it's getting close to. That'd be bad.

    Floating the giant beasty out to sea? That'll work. Though when the thing wakes up there will be a giant monster looming out of the ocean. That might turn a few heads.

    Meanwhile, back at Cloudtops!

    At the apparently drunk gal's question Zoe can't help but frown. "I didn't take the Big T down. I was supposed to just hold its attention until my buddies killed it. My pal Jerrith? He found this wonky sword that's supposed to be able to kill the thing for good. Otherwise it'll just keep coming back to life every time someone takes it out. Or at least that's how the story goes."

    Technically it could be killed by exploding its carcass into a fine red mush. But that would require some high explosives and apparently no one has ever tried it before.

    When Invincibelle starts chattering about the improbable nature of the Nexus Zoe opens her mouth to ask a 'What about-?' question, but the follow-up answers that for her. She coughs awkward.

    Hmm...

    And it looks like the molten mouthers are beginning to cool off! As time goes by they are growing more and more sluggish until after a few minutes they'll harden into heaps of slag. Seems that problem fixed itself.

    Monster Mashed Streets

    By the time Black Maul finishes parking the monster, the streets below are monsterless. Well that's good!

    She leaps down the sides of skyscrapers, going back and forth, pushing off with her staff until she's at ground level goes inside the building she's on the roof of and takes the elevator down to ground level.

    She stops to examine the slag, and it's possible she'll run into Invincibelle, Zoe, and/or Cat.

    Monster Mashed Streets

    Darth Calamity wanders the streets, having watched the large fight take place from a hidden alley. He saw powerful opponents battling. He was impressed, and knew to respect these individuals. Black Lotus and Scoprio are kept at his belt, under his dark grey flowing coat, his dark red cloak trailing behind him. It seems Trucido would rather go a bit more stealthy than his usual white clothing. He will eventually move towards the group. That was impressive. What... was that creature? I thought this place would be a bit safer. Giant monsters aren't exactly a boon to the environment.

    Ding! The elevator Intrepid took finally reaches the ground floor, and he springs into action, rushing out the door! The costumed vigilante steps out into the bright, obscenely sunny day, garbed in what appears to be a dark-blue motocross biker uniform, complete with matching helmet and a short navy-blue cape that only goes about halfway down his back and over one shoulder.

    "Halt! No kaiju can threaten this city so long as-"

    He looks around, notes the day has already been saved, and his shoulders slump in disappointment. Ugh, that's just his luck, isn't it? Invincibelle insists on waiting up on the rooftops for trouble on the very same day he forgets to bring any sort of flight or hover gadgets, forcing him to ride all the way down like your average NPC, only to arrive too late to contribute anything.

    Intrepid bites back the urge to just drop Valia on the ground. It'd be so, so funny, and also a little cathartic, but it's not exactly hero behavior, is it? He politely sets her down on her feet instead, still totally baffled by what just happened. It's not often that women just drop out of the sky into his arms, after all. Not anywhere near often enough.

    "Err...watch your step next time, citizen?"

    It didn't take a whole lot of shapeshifting to modify his throat enough that Intrepid's voice would be unrecognizable, but it's a dignified sort of unrecognizable. Not like that ridiculous Dark Knight movies growl; more of a Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne sort of voice.

    Valia nods and walks away with her hands in the pockets of her violet trench coat and Ebony slung across her back like nothing ever happened.
    She makes a mental note to buy herself a grappling hook.

    Heroes, Untie!

    Zane steps out of the shadows, and because of superhero logic, fully in costume...
    Not that he's wearing anything too elaborate. It's just a black trench-coat bordered in black flames, over a black, chainmail shirt and loose black pants. Anyone sending a theme here? No? Ok...

    His mask (heaven forbid he go without one!) is a black, glassy fire covering his whole face, with no discernable features. Hail, fellow heroes! Cough Cough A job well-done, I'd say.
