[b][u]January 1st, 7.46 PM
Midtown Metropolis[/u][/b][/center]
(Interacting with: [@Zero Hex])

Rather surprised by this sudden stranger, Diana turned around.
Among the people fleeing the scene this one stayed and showed the backbone of a warrior, even looking the part. His hair had a certain style to it and there was something about his eyes that displayed confidence.
[color=fff79a]“Well met, Mister Budo. And I am afraid there is very little time,”[/color] she answered him.
Then rather gently flew up, joined him on the street light and shook his hand.
[color=fff79a]“You are the second human to ever sneak up on me, and the first I have asked for help. Metropolis may very well need you. More often than not, the fights that really mean something gets won at street-level. Even when they begin in the sky, they finish on the ground."[/color]
As if taking a simple step down a set of stairs, she dropped down on the road, feeling no pain by the impact. She gestured backwards towards the cylinder that contained the ancient evil.
[color=fff79a]“When the seal starts breaking, we will have little time to prepare. Then a horror like this city has never witnessed will be unleashed and you and me might be all that stand between its mouth and the peopl...“[/color]
An explosion of stone interrupted Diana. Next half-second 12 tons of force hit her in the back and pushed her through the street. It felt like a meteor emptied all the air out of her lungs. It was more instinct than wit that had made her grab the space between two teeth while her one leg kicked down on the lower jaw of the beast.
Fighting just to keep the lizard from biting down on her, she started to understand the situation. The thing that had broken the seal and launched at her in a second, was moving and swinging her around as if she was in a rollercoaster. The g-force did its best to throw her off her game, but she was an Amazon and released a hand in order to grab her weapon.
[i]I am too close. Too close to civilians. Going to have to finish it quickly![/i]
Still inside its mouth and getting forced down the road, she launched her sword up into the dragon-like thing’s head. This lessened the force of its bite, and she wrestled her way out of the darkness of the death-hole.
Now on the outside, she saw the blue and purple scales on the beast. Like thick plating they were, yet far from indestructible. It seemed a bit like a wyvern, though wingless. The creature’s only limbs were its long neck, short legs and a single tail with teeth. She buried her fingers into one of its scales and swung her sword. The blade penetrated with ease and the creature roared in pain. However it took quite a lot of swings to get through the almost 115inch neck. Every single taunt she had endured from Ares, every single hurt she had suffered, she took out on the creature. Cutting away at this obstacle with all her might.
Only when the head came off and the giant demon feel backwards, did she recognize it from her bedtime stories.
[color=fff79a]“… A Hydra.”[/color] She dared only whisper it at first.
[i]Cut off one head two more will…[/i]
Five heads shot out with enough speed and force to rip through a building. The enormous creature raised itself and looked as if to use its five hellish mouths on her. That’s when the second shock hit Wonder Woman: the Hydra started ripping through its own necks. Tearing and biting through itself. Black blood rain down on the people trying to get to safety. Suddenly five heads had become 17, and all of them attacked each other.
The frightful truth about Uroboros, was made clear to Wonder Woman, while she hovered in the sky.
Each time a head was severed five new instantly appeared. And if that wasn’t enough, the body of the creature grew each time.
[i]By Zeus! What have I done?[/i] Diana thought, hardly believing the horror she witnessed.

The Hydra’s tail was made up by multiple snake creatures, about the length of half a train and considerably smaller than the heads. Down on the street, the blind anaconda-like mouths started attacking citizens and doorways. The tails were relentless. Meanwhile the jungle of heads raised themselves above the buildings. As if mocking the [i]great [/i]Wonder Woman they all hissed in unison.
Then they turned to the city and started biting everything around...

[color=f7976a]"This is the weakness of your people, little princess. You do not know when to forfeit. The more you fight, the stronger I become." [/color]The words of Ares echoed in her skull.
