Crap, crap, crap! " I think to myself, as the purple creature rampages across the lacrosse field towards Jessica. I need to be there. Distract the monster, or something. She's going to die, if I do nothing. But if I do, I run the risk of outing myself as a hero.. Am I really prioritizing my secret identity over her life? Really? This is a no brainer... My hands start to glow, ready to fire off a light bolt. It's then that one of the Somerset players extends her arms, hitting the creature square in the face. Others hit it with various projectiles, leading it away from Jessica. The creature looks really unphased by the attacks, and growls as it runs off towards Pine Grove Mall. When Nate's not looking, I leave the stands. Sorry bud. Jessica notices me running towards her and shakes her head. She points in the direction of the monster and mouths "I'll be fine.. Go get that thing before he hurts anyone else." Even though I can tell she's definitely not fine. But I just nod in response
Have to make a quick pit stop by my locker to get my costume, then I can go try and stop whatever that thing is. If only my costume could just project itself on me. That would make everything way easier. But unfortunately, that's not gonna happen. I use all the shortcuts I can to get to my locker. Minutes pass by and I finally get my costume, and follow the path of destruction.
Sure enough, the reptilian creature's at Pine Grove Mall causing oh so much property damage. Someone's fighting it. Dressed in a yellow and grey costume, with a golden visor. Definitely not someone I've ever seen before. I'm assuming he's a hero, but I can't say for certain just yet. Rock formations come spiking up from underneath the creature. The costumed hero sees me flying towards them, and gives me a peace sign. The creature manages to break out of the makeshift prison, and throws a car at the guy
"Sup?" He asks nonchalantly, as he creates a barrier in front of him. It's made of stone, and rock. I try making a crane construct, to pull the people out-of-the-way, but to no avail. Constructs still aren't working... Well that's a bust. Guess it's a good thing this guy prepared for it. Created a dome, so the car wouldn't fall on the civilians. Okay, yeah, he's a hero.
"Who are you?"
"I'd feel a little insulted if it weren't for the fact we're in Cardinal right now. The names Faultline, and don't you ever forget it bro!" He replies, giving me a thumbs up. Well that would explain his powers. But did he seriously just call me bro?
"Right... Well, it's nice to meet you Fautline. What brings you to Cardinal anyway? Also, do you have any bright ideas as to how to take this creature down? I'm open to suggestions, since this seems to have barely any effect on it." I repeatedly fire off light bolts, hoping to at least slow it down a little. Even going as far as to increase the intensity of the bolts. But the burn marks left by the bolts are quickly healed over. Safe to assume it has some sort of healing factor. Great... Faultline even summons a big boulder, and throws it at the creature.. Unfortunately for us, he catches it. It almost looks like it's grinning, before it throws it towards a crowd of people. I'm quick to blast the boulder quickly with multiple light beams, before Faultline recalls what remains of the boulder.
"Awh man, he caught my finisher.." He groans, almost under his breath before continuing. "Oh, I just happened to be in the neighbourhood watching a lacrosse game. Gotta show school spirit, and support the local team, ya know? Wait, why are you asking me for ideas? This isn't one of yours?" So he's from Somerset Academy? How convenient. Not everyday you'll see a Sunrise City hero over here.
"Nope! First time I've seen it!" Well, not quite the first time, but he doesn't need to know about mystical liquids, and everything else.
"Uhm, maybe we lure it to a nearby river or something? Maybe it can't swim?" He suggests with a shrug.
"Actually... That's not that bad of an idea... It looks like some sort of reptile. Reptiles and cold water don't mix.. At least, that's what school keeps telling me."
"Smart! You heard the guy! Hey ugly! Come and get me!" Faultline yells, as the debris on the ground rises up, and flies towards the creature. It's more of an annoyance than actually hurting it, but it's enough to lure it into following us. Along the way, Faultline works as crowd control, moving people out-of-the-way, along with hitting the creature with whatever he's got. As for me, I keep blasting it with low intensity light blasts. We manage to avoid the oncoming cars, and other bits of landscape that the reptile decides to throw at us.
It isn't long, before we reach Northbay Wharf, over in the Ashen Coast district. Helps that we keep provoking the reptile into running faster after us. I lower myself just slightly, just as we near the end of the pier. Using myself as bait.. Easily one of my worst ideas. Sure enough, the monstrous reptile takes the bait, tackling me into the deep blue waters of the bay. The creature shows its dominance by punching, and kicking me repeatedly. My powers are pretty much useless here in the water, so I'm left to try to swim away. Yep, absolutely terrible idea. Instantly regret it. Thankfully the reptile slows down with its punches, enough for me to avoid it rather easily. It keeps fighting to get up, but keeps struggling. It isn't long before it stops fighting entirely, and falls unconscious, its form switching into one more humanoid. At this point, Faultline scoops him up, as I swim to shore. Holy crap, it actually worked. I can't believe that actually worked.
