Who Will Defend Us?

Manhattan
Central Park

1:26 pm

The portal from Limbo opened easily and without triggering the wards that warned those mystically sensitive of what was happening in the city.  S'ym's erstwhile ally had seen to that.  Not that S'ym trusted him further than he could throw him, but he had been truthful enough in what he could provide. 

Other demons, made temporarily invisible, followed him out of the portal.

"You all know S'ym's plan," he said.  "Raise hell out there.  Make the humans panic.  The more chaos we sow, the weaker our ally makes the barrier between dimensions.  And when that happens, he says this world will belong to S'ym!  And what's good for S'ym is good for all of you!"

The demons began to cheer.

S'ym puffed on his cigar.  "But it's gonna take all of you doin' what we do best.  Killin' folks, corruptin' this world, just like we done before.  Only there ain't no X-Men here to stop us this time!  No little Darkchylde to ruin things!  This time... this world... will... be... OURS!"

The demons flew off, ready to raise hell.

Vesper gave a sidelong glance at Sofia. He knew he needed to update his gear, but high tech analysis was for someone in an Iron Man suit or something.

"Oh, sure. I will jus' cut t'rough ze special hyperspaces to calibrates ze enhanced time-matter fields. Zen calibrate ze sensor array, because ze polarity seems to be next to ze dome's perimeter. It zat hi-tech enough?" Not that he had any idea what the hell he just said.

Kassi didn't hesitate. After checking the tip of the trident she thrust the weapon at it with about half Atlantean strength. There was a light 'clang' noise, but nothing. Kassi didn't even really get much snapback.

"Hm. Weird."

Then she went at it full-strength.

"IMPERIOUS REGINA!"

Sofia grinned at Kassi. "See, that? What Namorique did over there? That's what we need to follow. Attack. Possibly with a cool battle cry." She paused and looked at Vesper. "And that wasn't sarcasm right? Sarcasm should be directed at our enemies, not at ourselves. That's for group hangouts and dramatic misunderstandings in our secret identities."

Dawn took a couple deep breaths and felt the battle lust pounding in the back of her head. The sounds of war and the smell of blood.

"Aaaaaah!" she bellowed, swinging her sword against the barrier.
