Like so many things in life, the victory of the motley little crew of vigilante heroes was short lived. This time even quicker than their initial take down of Cronus, to boot, as their greetings to Velocity were barely passed their lips before ... a bud grew a full sized bug-man who started talking to them.

See, this is why Grim didn’t have plants in The Dog House.

Nonetheless the words he spoke were worrying and immediately drew the Gotham hero’s gaze skyward. The lenses of her helmet reflected the flashing lights above of the colossal battle, each strike between the two Goddesses causing a rupture of color to spark against the night sky. The helmet of the Iron Fang prototype zoomed in, following the movements and recording, yet even then their motions were swift and could barely be followed. A battle of Gods, indeed.

Yet it was heartening that immediately those around Grim jumped in, wanting to help. To go up into that fight of men beyond mortals to assist Lady Arcana. The problem of course, lay in [i]how[/i]. Emerald Knight was the one that would even be able to get up there, and though Tank might be able to jump or throw the others what then?

No, what they needed was for this fight to be [i]grounded[/i].

[color=IndianRed]”Hold on,”[/color] It was barely more than a mutter directed to Tank’s question as Grim’s gaze turned from the sky to the metal armor on her wrist. A few taps, and... yes, yes good. Communicator 1 was back online. It was out of range for awhile, which was no surprise considering where Lady Arcana had gone. Connecting the communicator back to the grid Grim spoke to the congregation of vigilantes, letting her words be heard in the ears of all.

[color=IndianRed]”Lady Arcana, we’re sending reinforcements. We need that fight on the ground. We’ll offer you an opening Try to aim for the dam where Cronus’ body is – there’ll be no one for casualties around here.”[/color] Grim had, after all, warned people away long before she had even shown up with King Orin.

Turning the glowing white gaze of the Iron Fang armor to the others she gestured to the three most useful in this situation. [color=IndianRed]”Speedy’s plan has merit. Tank, throw her as hard as possible then get ready to jump on whoever is up there once they’re down. Green Glow, get ready to catch Sonic – I’ll be ready as well if necessary. Orin, Harris, get ready to lock down the threat as well. Stay out of the water too, if they land there that’s prime time for a repeat performance from Orin’s trident.”[/color]

The motors on Grim’s back flared to life as she rose up, and from her shoulders, arms, and the thick plating of the Iron Fang’s chest metal panels slid away to show a variety of weapons, both magical and mundane. Hopefully the fact they were mere [i]beta[/i] tests wouldn’t backfire.

[color=IndianRed]”Let’s make this one even a God won’t forget.”[/color]
