	The park was crowded despite the early hour - while on Earth-666 November 15th was an ordinary day, in Earth-257 it was a national holiday for the United Kingdom. Like how Queen Betsy was half-fae, November 15th's was Queen Aoife's Day. According to legend, Queen Aoife had cursed her children, transforming them into swans. The curse was broken by the morning light on the fifteenth day of November. Local superstition then held that to prevent children from being cursed by the fae, or to remove curses they already had, children needed to be outside at first light and remain outside until sunset this day each year. 

	The next thing Maria knew, after taunting Doom, she was being punched in the stomach - [i]hard[/i]. Luminous didn't seem to have moved, the entire action happening within the blink of an eye. Maria would be sent flying backwards, hitting the ground and skidding. A group of school children screamed, and parents started frantically looking for their kids, cups of coffee being abandoned and dropped left and right. It was complete chaos now, people screaming and pushing and trampling each other in an effort to get out of the park. Someone was going to get crushed - [i]or worse. [/i]

	"Doom does not die," Doom vowed, before whispering a spell under his breath. On the second repetition, it took effect. In a perfect circle surrounding him, with a radius of about six feet, all of the grass and other plant life [i]died[/i]. And Doom rose to his feet, his wounds instantly healed, stronger than ever. "And Doom does [i]nothing[/i] the 'easy way,'" he stressed. 

	Doom began to recite another spell, only to be knocked to the ground by a blast of light. Raynor rushed forward, ready to pummel Doom, only to suddenly get punched in the neck by something moving faster than the eye could see. Choking and unable to speak, having taken immense damage to his throat, Raynor crashed into a tree. The autumn leaves all instantly fell off of their branches, gently falling on top of Raynor. 

	"Служи ме, Gargantos!" Doom shouted, and the air pulsed with mystical energy. The ground in front of them cracked open, sending those who hadn't been knocked over yet falling onto their asses, as it spit out a gigantic demon. The demon was a glowing red eye with multiple tentacles - [i]Gargantos[/i].

	Doom then said some hurried words to Luminous in Latverian, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were gone. And Gargantos, the demon, began to attack the innocent bystanders, ripping up trees and chucking them at small children without mercy. 

	[color=d86615]"For those of you playing along at home, he told Luminous to take him to the Nexus - whatever the hell that is!"[/color] Raynor shouted above the chaos. It was hard to hear with all of the screaming of innocent people. Raynor sent off a blast of pure light, aimed at the giant demonic eyeball - the eyeball was forced to close its eyelid, but ultimately, that only made things worse - the throws of trees got more random and sporadic, making everything more dangerous for the fleeing citizens. 

	[color=f6989d]"Don't blind it, it'll only hurt more people!"[/color] Bonnie shouted over the chaos. [color=f6989d]"We need to evacuate civilians and kill it. Flynn, what do you know about demonic eyeballs?"[/color] He had worked for a fascist organization bent on destroying magical creatures - and had already proved himself on their adventures when it came to facing demons and whatnot. If anyone knew what to do here, it would be him... assuming it was their Flynn behind those eyes, and not someone else. 
	
	[color=FFB795]"Maybe it's time to start doing things!"[/color] Amelia shouted, before taking up into the air as effortlessly as breathing. It was a new skill she had been taught thanks to her merge with Aero, the Amelia of Earth-257. She defied gravity as she sent blasts of wind, blowing trees off course and out of the way of civilians wherever she could, but she couldn't be everywhere at once. Unless the team acted at once, people were going to die - [i]children were going to die[/i].
