Abandoned Warehouse

Megalopolis. Although it was only built 5 years ago, it had quickly managed to become the de-facto capital of the USA. Thanks to Hammer Industries, it had become the technological center of the world, with mighty, wide, tall buildings that practically reached to the heavens. However, every city, even a pillar of might such as Megalopolis, still needed it's more unassuming elements; where better to hide your booty? To that end, Hammer had thus managed to conceal a brand spanking new device — an experimental reactor — by hiding it where no-one would think to look; no, not the fridge, but in a secret laboratory, located underneath an abandoned warehouse. Technically, the warehouse still belonged to them, not that the average citizen would notice. (Or care.)

However, someone did care, and did he ever notice. To that end, right outside the building, 10 strong, bulky men could be seen leaping out of a large chevy, each carrying a machine gun. And coming from behind was the largest and strongest of them all; a 10'ft behemoth, covered from head to toe in armor that would make Iron Man blush.

"Alright, you fucking ingrates," loudly whispered the man in the armor, albeit as loudly as you could whisper while still actually whispering. "You listen and you listen good. We go in there, we get the loot, we get out with the loot, and then we bring it right back home. Simple as that. Now, if there aren't any questions—"

At that moment, many cries of 'Ooh!', 'Ah!', and 'Me, me!' could be heard amidst the gaggle of thugs, as they all raised their hands high in a manic fever. And all that the man in the armor could do was slowly but surely slap himself hard in the face.

"I got one, I got one!", said one of the thugs. "So, we go in there—"

"Yes...", said the man in the armor.

"And we get the loot—"

"Yes..."

"But, but, aren't there gonna' be a bunch of people in there? Scientists and stuff?"

"Could you please get to the point? Preferably before I stuff your own weapon down your trousers? With the safety off?"

"Uh, yeah, sure. So, I mean, those people are gonna' be there, right?"

"Your point, please? Unless you have a particular taste for bullets down the anus."

"Well, it's just, we aren't gonna' have to, you know, kill anyone, are we?"

"If they resist, then yes, it's certainly possible. And yes, if it does come to that, it would be indeed be a tragedy, but look at it this way; once they're dead, you can check their labcoats and see if they're keeping any loose change. You may just be able to find enough spare cash for a full meal!"

"...Maybe."

"That's the spirit! Now, let's get in there, and— hold on..."

Being such an advanced armor, it of course contained the latest state of the art tracking system; it was so advanced that it could even distinguish super-powered beings from normal humans. It could also detect how many people there were in the general vicinity. With that in mind, the man in the armor noticed two things that struck him as odd. One was that, not counting himself, the scanner was picking up 10 men among his crew. As for the reason that was such an oddity?

"Say, boys.", he said, after scanning the men. "Any of you seen Bartlyby lying around?" At once, the men scratched their heads, looked at each other, and shrugged in an act of complete and utter befuddlement. "That can't be good." As for the other thing he noticed, he swore to God that he was wrong, but if these scanners were correct, then at least several Superhumans were headed straight this way. How could they have possibly known? Unless...

"EVERYBODY, WEAPONS AT THE READY! I think we've got a rat—"

"A real rat?!", said one of the men, who was promptly clobbered by a metallic boot to the head.

"SHUT THE HELL UP! Now, I think we've got a rat — not a real rat — and Bartleby's his name. We've got Superhumans comin' right this way, so you all get in there and get that reactor, ASAP! I'll be right behind you; I'll see if I can fend off any would-be heroes. Here's hopin'."


A Truck Near The Abandoned Warehouse

Honda took a good sip of his coffee before looking back at the small TV in front of him in the truck. It was just 30 seconds ago that they picked up 10 men on their scanners, just as the tip-off said. Didn't take much to get it either. They often had undercover cops at O'Donavons'; handy place for getting all sorts of nifty criminal intel, mainly because most crooks just never seemed to keep themselves sober. About twice a week, they'd slip up, and while there wasn't always much that came from it, this time, there was. Alexander T. Richards, wealthiest man in the city next to the CEO of Hammer, was after a new experimental reactor built by none other than Hammer themselves. He'd managed to figure out it's location, and was sending out a handful of crooks to retrieve it. Not that they'd ever get it. Most of the whole squad — The Emancipator, Diana, Fog, and Kim — had just been sent in, with Asclepian staying behind with Honda. After all, there wasn't much that a doctor and a Government liason could do, was there?

Each member of the squad had been outfitted with a small communicater placed near their right ears, which Honda took full advantage of. He took another sip of his coffee before picking up a small microphone, located on a shelf underneath the TV.

"Right; hit them hard, and hit them fast. One of them's supposed to have a suit of hi-tech armour; Kim, I'd suggest sending in Body to deal with him. Either that, or you could try and use Mind to temporarily shut down his brain, though that might be more risky. The rest of you, deal with the peanut gallery. Any questions?"


Megalopolis Square

Meanwhile, in the center of town, right in the middle of the square, all seemed at peace. Not even the memory of Pristine Tower, which used to cast such a shadow over the square before it fell, could seem to ruin such a serene mood. All was quiet at the ranch; there was no news from the front; no-one was stirring, not even a —

VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR—

As it turned out, something was stirring. Bursting out of the ground was a 60'f foot long robotic behemoth shaped like a giant green rattle-snake, with a giant drill for a tail, and another drill for a snout. It stayed still for a moment, almost as if it wasn't sure just where it was, before it attempted to drill back into the Earth. 'Attempt' being the key word, as it was more than likely that it had been noticed...

Square

Tower was in his apartment and had just taken off his costume before he heard rumbling and saw the giant metal worm come out of the ground. With a heavy sigh, he quickly re-suited up and jumped out his window, growing to 50 feet as he fell. Tower runs at the beast and attempts to punch it.

Jim sometimes couldn't believe his luck. Just a few moments ago, he was just walking by the City Square, when all of a sudden a giant... green rattle-snake, came out of the ground. He quickly put his mask on. Suddenly, Jim saw a giant man run towards the mechanic behemoth.

Damn it. Jim thought while he began to run alongside the giant man. Something inside him told him this night would be a long one.

"Nope. Not yet at least. " Diana replied. She could see them from her position, but if she approached they'd probably see her.. What to do.... I can heal if they shoot me, but I'd rather avoid getting shot.. Urgh. Oh, wait. She uncapped the water bottle at her hip, coaxing out the salt water inside with her hand. Throwing her hand forward, the water shot out and grabbed one of the henchmen in an imitation of her outstretched arm.

A few blocks away from the Square

Ian looked at his watch. "Hm... not too late, but tomorrow's budget projections could use me on a couple more hours of sleep so-" and then he heard the rumble.

"Oh my," he briefly lifted his goggles and looked in the direction of the now above-ground mechanical monstrosity "that looks like a strike against my sleeping schedule... again."

Readjusting his eyewear and summoning a full set of cards from his pockets, he ran towards the square. As he approached, he saw a giant man already moving to engage the robotic menace, and so focused on charging the Club and Heart of his immediate set.

"No, sir" Said Kim, chipper and dutiful. Body seemed a bit too much, but Mind not only tended to argue with directions, her 'engaging' of other persons minds fell unpleasant in hindsight. Body would have to do. She retrieved the rolled tarp from her tube and unfurled it on the ground. "alright everybody, stand back" Then she would step in the middle of the circle and knelt on fetal position. She began chanting "War has come to man, the demons laugh in glee, to foil now their wicked plan, surrenders here your devotee, pick up arms if you can, One becomes the Blessed Three" A pillar of light would shoot to the skies. Her mind fractured and changed, her body grew and warped, her original self sealed away. the pillar grows and then retreats, leaving the giantess known as Body on a three point landing position. She stretched, cracked her knuckles and neck, and with a grin she said "Lets get this sho' on the road" She charged in colision course with the armored man.


The Square

Neheressa had been have been having a dinner with an acquaintance of her husband, trying to mend some foul words she had said at a mixer last week. This meeting took place on a cafe in the borders of the plaza.

"well One's glad you hadn't taken any offense" She said sipping on a herbal tea.

"Its fine really, I butted into the conversation and took it out of context" said the other woman

"Yes but One followed through, it wasn't cordial"

"its ok Neheressi"

"Neheressa"

"right, yes" An awkward silence followed

"so how's your husband?"

"Tom's been busy..."

"Aha? figures, My Franklin..." the women continued doing smalltalk untill the drill surfaced. The woman panicked as Neheressa merely turned to see it over her sunglassed. A smile curved up on the ailen's mouth> "excuse me" she said drawing her remote and her gun, the star-shooter. She called on her ship from her remote. She was about to call out the worm when a 50 ft tall hero landed near. "Battle of the giants, eh? No matter!" she said pulling out her gun and running around Tower, and began blasting away at the worm.

Warehouse

Wake up, go to school, despise my mother and father. I undertake actions others tell me are virtuous, but no matter how I examine the actions myself, I cannot see the virtue or the value in any of the things I have done. I made no friends playing that sport - despite my friendly airs, I hated each and every one of the callous idiots in that court.

I went to college, got a high earning degree, and I still can't see the meaning in any of this inane nonsense.

Wake up, go to work, deal with a wife who is only with me because of my paycheck, a son whose issues I cannot understand, and I found my way out.

Scott started to place the last pieces of his armor on his arms and legs, this would not be the first time he appeared as the man wearing the steel mask. Crackling of light blue energy as the armor sealed. The flowing of magical energy, Khronos pulsating. The hooded cloak prepared. He took up the steel mask, plain and without many advanced features, except a voice distorter and those things over his eyes.

Placing it over his head and feeling the crackling again, Scott pulled the hood over his head and started to walk out of the warehouse. He walked toward the one that gang of crooks was trying to rob. Heroes were inbound, he could feel it. And this was why he was Lord Eclipse, the Foremost of Chaos. For the abnormality of it all. To violate every single one of his principles and be free of ingrained prejudices.

He didn't knock at the warehouse. A large black claw tore down the warehouse door just as the heroes arrived, and Eclipse immediately noted the person rushing for the armored individual. The masked man immediately motioned and the conjured ogre's claw rushed right at the girl on the collision course with the main crook in a crushing strike.

"Hello, so called heroes and slaves of the government, welcome to the grand game."

Rooftop Near the Warehouse

Alexander T. Richards took a sip of his auto-heating coffee mug, sighing in resignation. His position was drafty and rather uncomfortable, and he had to take extra care he was not to be spotted, but having a rather decent sighting point compensated for all the discomfort. He checked his watch as he saw the cadre of goons -his goons- flail a bit before heading out to strike. Pressing his earpiece to hear better, he was aware of the exchange between the powersuit minion and the rest of the lot.

And of course the fact that superheroes would be swarming them because someone ratted them out. Ah well, what was a business without some risks? At least his real important assets were not in danger yet. He could pay more idiots to take the bullets for him later on. But being seen in the scene would have been harder to explain. As such, he was donning his fine Sisyphus suit, complete with mask.

He brought his binoculars up once more, as he pressed his earpiece. "Do not fret, Boulder." He indicated the power suit man. "They're expendable, and that suit can handle a few supers. Proceed with the plan. We will deal with the rat later." He indicated. Of course he omitted that the power suit could overload and explode, but... Boulder was also expendable too.

He looked at the alarm his laptop was producing. He had programmed it to scan the police signals and gauge their response. "We're lucky, apparently there's some fifty foot whatever doing a ruckus elsewhere. Not all supers will swarm us...hold on."

Sisyphus raised his eyebrow when his eyes caught a flashy beam of light pointing to a location in the vicinity of a warehouse."Okay, you got two supers there, Boulder. One that I believe it's struggling with you already and someone else." Sisyphus transmitted while peeking the scene with the binoculars.

And then something weird happen. He double checked with the binoculars, and a bitter comment escaped his lips."Man, do I love Megalopolis."He then pressed the intercomm."I don't know who that clown is, Boulder, but give him wide berth. If he wants to pummel stuff for the shits and giggles let him be. Remember we're here to steal, not to pose our evilness."

Sisyphus sighed, as he cracked his fingers and proceed to type in the laptop. The situation required a plan B, or even a plan C. Maybe even using the sniper rifle he had hauled all the way up the rooftop.


Truck near Warehouse

Asclepian yawned lazily on her chair, as if she were an overgrown cat. Her eyes then darted towards the screen, Honda, and Honda's backside. Pulling out an scalpel and checking its sharpness she eventually ventured to say.

"Say, who do you think has the best butt on the entire squad, Honda?" The old doctor said.

The Warehouse

As Diana did indeed grab one of the henchman in her outstretched hand, and as he waited for whatever Diana was going to do to her, Body was knocked out of her rushdown by Eclipse's giant ogre's claw. Boulder was dumbfounded for a moment, but quickly regained his footing. "Hey, he said to Eclipse, "thanks buddy! But just make sure to stay the hell out of my way from here on out, if you know what's good for ya'."

He then quickly yelled out to the other thugs. "ALRIGHT, ALL OF YA'! IGNORE TALL DARK AND WHATEVER FOR NOW; FOCUS ON THE PEANUT GALLERY!" He then outstretched his right palm, releasing a powerful, concentrated beam of blinding white energy straight at power. At the same time, the other mooks (aside from the one being held by Diana,) opened fire on the other Supers...


The Truck Near The Warehouse

Honda gave Asclepian a looked that begged to say, 'Seriously'? "Not on the job, Asclepian. Besides, the only reason you're here is to patch up anyone that needs patching up; not to wonder who has the — you know what, I'm not even going to say it. For now, please keep your trap shut until you absolutely need to open it, thank you." Looking back at the scanner he then noticed that there seemed to be another Superhuman at the warehouse. On top of that, there also seemed to be a nearby human on a rooftop close by. "Right," said Honda. "Ascelpian, I really hate to do this, but you're the only one we've got right now. According to the scanners, there's someone up on a nearby rooftop. Could just be coincidence, but I'm inclined to think otherwise. I need you to go and check it out." He then heard the sound of gunfire from the TV screen, and quickly put his attention back to it. "EVERYONE, DUCK!"


The Square

Before the robotic beastie could burrow back into the earth, it found itself blindsided by a 50'ft giant of a man, while at the same time being blasted by a powerful series of slugs. The end result: Not only was it knocked to the ground, but it's right eye had been blown to smithereens, with the only thing left of it being shattered fragments and fraying wires. It still had it's left eye, which was enough, as it began to light up in a strange bright orange glow, and then from it, fired a wide laser straight at both the giant as well as the one who had fired off the slugs.

Mentally sighing as he examines the power armored brute, Justin reluctantly begins to ready himself by shifting the junk on his body into a defensive form. Activating his comm, Justin proceeds to half-complain to Honda "The stuff Hammer makes is way better than that piece of crap, probably just scrapped together with junk in some wannabe's basement. So why the hell am I not being authorized to crumple it?"

Though with that said, Justin sighs audibly as he sees the villain Lord Eclipse arrive and launching an attack at one of his fellows. "This is freaking stupid, just wannabe losers everywhere, and I have to prevent my team from dying so I don't have to do their work instead. Freaking god..."

With that he rushes to intercept the claw, some of the junk on his body shifting to his right as he forms it & and his arm into a condensed sturdy shield to block the attack. In addition to all that, Justin shouts out to Eclipse "Screw you punk, you're not some majestic god, just a loser thinking violence solves shit!"

Rooftop Near the Warehouse

"July the 4th fireworks have nothing on this." Sisyphus grumbled as he put his binoculars away once again and he begun to deftly type on his computer. First of all, comb all the transmissions. Then deduce the civilian ones, the ones that were of his crooks and then search for the other high activity signals.

"Did you really think I don't have other ways to acquire this design? I'm going to shut your whole communications down." He added, starting decryption runtimes and sorting codes to enter the government communications.

Meanwhile, a grumbling Asclepian had exited the Van. "You are going to get old quickly at this pace, Honda." She had quipped back, as she begun her ascent in the rooftop, grumbling all the way on her mind.

What she found on her ascent, however, cut her grumbling abruptly. There it was, a well-dressed costumed man, leaning on a computer, with a sniper rifle and binoculars beside him. It didn't look a police enforcer... so it could be anything from a rogue vigilante to an unaccounted backup of the attacking party. Thinking quickly she approached stealthily, grabbing the rifle and then...

With a last exaggerated keystroke, Sisyphus announced "and now you're without communications." He said, thinking smugly of how that if he had executed all moves correctly, he had shut down the government's local communications grid that was destined to the Superhero party that had seemed to oppose his team. He resisted chuckling... and then he felt the barrel of his own sniper rifle against his forehead."Ah fuck." He added, raising his hands almost as if on reflex.

"Guess you're not a law upholding citizen." Asclepian smiled, taunting on how easy had been to catch this particular guy off guard.

"Amateur mistake." Sisyphus bitterly replied as he sideglanced his opponent."And let me guess, you're not my call girl for 11 PM."

"Charming." Asclepian added. "But now you're under arrest."

"Is that so?" Sisyphus added, while looking. "Well, I would be glad to comply if it wasn't by one itty bitty detail, ma'am."

"I figured as much." Asclepian rolled her eyes, but then poked his head with the barrel."You move, you're dead."

"Allow me to doubt that." Sisyphus said, tensing his muscles."The safety is -on-".

"Wha?" Asclepian barely had time to react when a fast arm strike knocked the rifle out of her hands, but not before pressing the trigger to no effect. The old medic narrowed her eyes. Fuck, I understimated this creep. She added, trying to counter with a kick of her own. Sisyphus grunted slightly as he was caught in a bad position, but somehow managed to parry the blow.

Fuck! She's fast! The criminal mastermind conceded. After a single exchange, he knew he couldn't easily overpower her, so he didn't make a second attack, instead choosing to jump evasively and reach for his wrist clock.

"HALT YOU CREEP!" Asclepian demanded, as she started to give chase...

...and then the laptop exploded, forcing her to cover her face to avoid shrapnel getting in her eyes.

"Honda, we got ourselves the mastermind...Honda? HONDA!? DAMN!" Asclepian cursed. Her communicator was dead. She wasn't sure if it had been because of the detonation or something that creep had done, but she had no choice.

Gritting her teeth she began to chase after the man, who was now jumping from rooftop to rooftop.

"COME BACK HERE!"

Megalopolis Square
Dropkick was leaping across the rooftops, patrolling the city when he heard - and felt - what seemed like an earthquake. Considering the city they were in, that meant either a giant robot attack, raging kaiju, attack of the fifty foot woman, Earthquake-themed villain, or collapsing building. He bet it was an Earthquake, and starting hopping towards the city's square. In a few quick hops, he was on the corner of a building near the square, looking down at Tower, some energy blasts, and a giant snake with a laser cannon. So he had been wrong. It was a fifty-foot hero attacking a giant robot.

He did a front-flip off of the building, leaping towards the mechanical monster. He stuck his right foot out forwards and bent his left leg back slightly - the basic shape for a flying sidekick. A gravity-powered kick that was aimed right at the "neck" of the snake, underneath the head that had fired the laser.

"I'M DROPPING IN!" he shouted loudly.

Jim was beginning to think that facing the Giant-Robo-Snake wasn't such good idea after all. Perhaps it was the laser beams that came right out of nowhere. Luckily, the giant man grabbed his ally and leaped out of the way of the laser. Jim, on the other hand, kept his distance, not wanting to get hit.

This is getting dangerous. He thought. Well, even more dangerous.

Jim then heard someone shout from above.

Now half a block away, Wildcard couldn't help but wonder if maybe his course of action would escalate the conflict further, not that the monster's new apparent ability to laser its enemy wasn't doing that already.

"Let's take care of that shall we?" he muttered as he threw the now tier 5 (elec)Club at the edge of the snake's remaining eye.

Dropkick's entrance did confirm in his mind that the situation would just get crazier before it resolved. He layered and charged a few Diamonds over his left arm in anticipation and continued his approach.

Eclipse watches as Emancipator stops his claw from crushing that girl once and for all, and simply moves his right hand, activating Mantra again and conjuring a second Ogre claw, which flew forward to strike Justin from a different angle. The powerful, cruel limb connecting to a large amount of black mist hovering around Eclipse, from which the first claw likewise emerged.

"Quite ironic that someone enslaved to the government's whimsies would speak in such a way. If the government called upon you to crack down on unregistered heroes in truly brutal fashion, I don't doubt you'd do it. You are nothing but a toy for those who want to suppress the power of superhumans."

Heroes lived lives that would inextricably connect - and then they became angered and irrational when such a thing happened. Some decided that their comfort and following the laws of the land was more important than anything else. While others decided to live outside of the law.

Laughingly loudly and cruelly, Justin shifts himself to block the new claw. With that, Justin suddenly shouts "Look at the hot shit loser, thinks he's so freaking intelligent for defying the power of billions! I utterly hate being their lapdog, but resistance would ultimately fail. You know why? Because these freaking governmental forces outnumber us, have the technology to outpower us if they actually wanted to, and know how to negate powers prickface! So go ahead, be a smug little dog, that's how the government is gonna treat you once they're fed up and decide to catch you! The only reason you're not already eating pig slop in hell is because the government doesn't consider you worth their time!"

Making a small junk shooter on his right shoulder, Justin proceeds to aim & fire rapid pieces of metal made into blunt bullets at Eclipse.

"There is nothing more natural or normal than individuals granted power choosing to defy the unenlightened masses. Though they have such capacity to impose their will, do tell then, why have they not elected to use it to enforce normality across the board? My answer? Because they know they can't."

A massive black shield resembling the chest and rib cage of a massive ogre formed out of the black mist and blocked Emancipator's attacks.

"And you sip at a bowl of water they offer, never content to leave the master's side. So go on, keep extolling the power and greatness of your master, all while he allows you and your compatriots to suffer, wither, and die."

A huge, monstrous head - serpentine and covered with thorns, but ogre-like in its brutal expression - formed out of the mist, connecting to the claws and the chest plate. The arms moved to the side and the head breathed out a white-hot blast down on Justin.

Rooftop Near the Warehouse

As the shouted declarations rose from the ground below, a certain impeccably dressed and recently-arrived 'Frenchman' peeked out from behind the cover of the rooftop outcropping he was concealing himself with. "Cynics all around, eh? What a sight for sore eyes you are!" he whispered to himself, chuckling a bit, "Unfortunately for you, your self-absorbed pessimism likely blinds you to the more important things in life, like fine wine and the company of beautiful women! Not that you two can even hear me from here..."

As usual, the magnificent master moonlighter, Monsieur Mirage, had begun his nighttime snooping in the warehouse district, the closest area to his base of operations. After just a short while, however, he'd been drawn in this direction by the sound of some very conspicuous yelling. The supers charging in seemed to be mainly the recently minted government agents and an odd supervillain, or at least unregistered anti-hero, and it was abundantly clear that the men with guns and the one in the powered armor were looking to steal something from the adjacent building.

All of that made Martin's preferred course of action crystal clear to him: namely, steal whatever the suckers were looking for himself before someone else did. As he was considering whether to wait or just get going, another masked man passed right by his hiding spot, followed closely by a woman who was seemingly giving chase. They didn't appear to have spotted him yet, but it was only a matter of time. Aaand, looks like that's my cue!

Sprinting toward the edge of the rooftop, he burst into a flying leap and phased directly through the side of the warehouse everyone below seemed so intent on. The phantom thief rolled and tumbled into a crouch as he landed on the ground floor, and cautiously stood up to take a look around, trying to stay out of sight of the brutalized doorway.

What do you mean, I'm late? I've been here the whole time!

"Y'all talk too much," Jace muttered to himself. Well, he had his orders: Deal with the rabble.

When the shots started ringing out, he switched to cloud form, keeping himself human-shaped, but allowing the bullets to pass through him harmlessly. From there, he flew to the back of the firing line before solidifying and blowing some knockout gas into two of the mooks' faces.

The punch is mightier than the sword. Except for when it isn't.

Getting no response, Diana sighed and got up. She began looking for a way to tie up the henchman, just in case. She opted to take off their jacket and bind their hands and legs together behind their back.

"Okay! Now to-" She turned and saw the battle- specifically the large snake head trying to blast her teammate. Running forward, she recollected the saltwater with a wave of her hand and attempted to create a water barrier around Justin.

The water barrier was continuously letting out a lot of steam, hinting at the heat involved in the monstrous head's attack.

Lord Eclipse guessed that there were more heroes, and it sounded like one of them was flying around and the other was using her powers to defend the quisling over there.

Completing the design of his monster, Eclipse called forth eight extremely long, whip like tails ending in blades. Joining with the body of his giant ogre "golem", the tails flew forward at Diana, the bladed ends stabbing and slashing at her.

He took no chances with these "heroes", they were consistently capable of providing surprises, despite their adherence to a static and "orderly" power.

Diana attempted to dodge these, but diverting her attention between dodging and the barrier was proving difficult. As it turned out, she held on the barrier a bit too long and got slashed in the side.

"Agh-" She grasped her wound, blood beginning to come out. In a last ditch effort, she diverted the barrier's water straight into Lord Eclipse's face. (She hoped.) She then focused solely on dodging, hoping she'd bought the Emancipator enough time to get out of the way.
