The Battle Begins

To start off with, we sent four hostages out into the street with very explicit orders.

The four shuffled out into the road, their hands bound by zip ties and a shield field from Bastion gently nudging at the small of their backs.

After a few moments, when I was sure the people would have moved forward by a few feet, I sent my darkness surging outward to consume them and shield them from view.

They had been told to get down flat onto the ground at that point because it was when the second phase of our attack was set to begin.

With a satisfied growl, Wildthing launched herself through the darkness barrier and sped out into the street. Without hesitation, she turned in the air and, upon touching the ground, propelled herself straight toward Gestalt.

Gestalt tried to dodge out of the way of the giant beast that was suddenly barrelling toward him, but by the time he had reacted it was already far too late.
