What was once and calm and peaceful local, local Metropolis Park goers would find themselves swarming cautiously around the lake in apprehensive curiosity. A boiling bubbling mass had been consistently bellowing from the lake's center for the past hour, as if a geyser was being formed. The Metropolis Police Department had already sanctioned a perimeter around the lake, keeping the onlookers from getting in too close. Government agents dressed in black were also conversing with one another while keeping an eye on the situation via helicopter. Normally they would call in Superman or any of the Justice League members that were in town to investigate, yet they were all currently thought to be away. Without them, it was now solely up to the MPD's to take responsibility and control the situation.

There was a growing anticipation that lurked within everyone's mind - a feeling that something big was about to happen. Many had aspects of dread, for they knew that this was likely a supervillain threat in the making, yet nothing drastic seemed to be happening. Some believed this was nothing but a freak geological phenomenon, while others thought differently. Such ideologies spread through the crowd, encouraging everyone to come to their own conclusions. After all, no one was truly sure what to make out of this. 

Suddenly, the geyser would abruptly cease - where a peaceful moment of silence brushed over the entire park. The crowd held their breath, but before they could properly exhale, a black, humanoid entity suddenly burst from the water at great speed! It looked as if something threw it from the depths! It zoomed past the disturbed crowd and skidded across the grassy field, kicking up a crater of soil and rock. The crowd stood motionlessly with a sudden gasp before erupting into a sheer panic and began to flee from the scene. Security forces rose to action as all available weapons pointed towards the [url=https://64.media.tumblr.com/576899862b476bc9b18283b10a99e0a1/fdf071c38e6aa58f-d7/s540x810/017feef76b4a2cd9c611ae6860afc2101e1f30d4.jpg]cloaked figure[/url].

Draped in a black-and-red trimmed cloak, an unusually tall woman struggled to her feet - the air knocked out of her exasperated lungs. She adjusted her cloak, which had already revealed her voluptuous chest and mid-riff, and smeared a trickle of blood that trickled from her crimson lips. While her eyes were obscured by a black blindfold with a horizontal red-stripe down the middle, it was clear that her gaze was directed straight from the lake she was casted from. It was one of sheer anger with a healthy dose of dread. For she knew exactly what was lurking beneath the water's surface...

And from the depths, a her opponent emerged from the boiling lake; announcing its presence with a reverberating groan.

Standing just over 2 meters in height, Nautica loomed ominously over the cloaked lady - emanating a hypnotically intimidating cerulean aura that trailed her dark toned form. Her yellow eyes fixated on her target, as she gritted her sharp pearline-white teeth with a snarl. The cloaked woman clenched her fists in defiance and yelled at the approaching titan.

[b][color=ed1c24]"YOU BASTARD!"[/color][/b] the woman vulgarly insulted as she took a few steps back. She rose one of her arms to the side, where a flash of light would reveal a large double-bladed halberd within her grasp, [b][color=ed1c24]"YOU WILL PAY FOR DESECRATING MY BELOVED CHILDREN!"[/color][/b]

She lunged at Nautica with her axe risen high, ready to decapitate her opponent. Nautica easily dodged the woman's telegraphed attack, side-stepping out of the way before punching her straight in the jaw. The cloaked figure staggered, only to immediately find herself uppercutted, followed by a tail smack to the face. Her feet skidded across the ground, using the axe to slow herself down. Nautica's tail spines would then begin to rapidly glow blue with an ascending hum, creeping up her back and culminating within her mouth before unleashing it in a powerful beam attack! 

The cloaked figure snapped out of her daze and leapt out of the way, quickly advancing on Nautica's position while moving against her atomic stream. She then plunged the bottom pole to hurdle herself towards Nautica with a dropkick, causing the reptilian kaiju to be pushed back a considerable distance. Seizing the moment, the opponent quickly switched positions, dashing behind in the blink of an eye to swing her axe at Nautica's neck! But feeling the sudden breeze on her flank, Nautica turned suddenly and smacked her face with a glowing fist of atomic energy - once again throwing her back several meters in an explosive finish. The cloaked assailant grunted as she'd pummel against a store at the edge of the park.

Nautica gave a deep bellowing roar in response; a mix of a guttural human scream with the intensity of a prehistoric beast's primal bellow. There was no doubt history between these two titans, being one that stretched for eons on end. While it seemed one sided in Nautica's favor, no doubt the tide of battle will be determined who gets to help whom. Nautica' savage and merciless aura may seem antagonistic, but the cloaked woman didn't look the most appealing either. 

As their rampage began to transition into Metropolis' concrete jungle, it was time for the heroes to make a careful decision... Should they help one of the titans? Maybe stop the fight entirely? Or [url=youtube.com/watch?v=XKdJ6DnPhzk]let them fight[/url] and help those caught in the crossfire?
