Difference between revisions of "Firefight"

After Sourcefield is defeated, they discover that she was sent from Babylon Restored. Prof, Tia, and David set out to investigate. They meet up with a team in Babylon Restored consisting of Valentine (Val), Missouri (Mizzy), and Exel. The team has been in Babylon restored for two years, and they had recently lost their point man, Sam to Firefight.

 

 

The ruler of Babylon Restored is Regalia, formerly known as Abigail. She is a hydromancer who can send out a projection of herself and control water. She can also see out of any surface of water and hear things spoken near the water. This makes it very difficult for the Reckoners to avoid drawing her attention.

 

 

A fight ensues in which the Reckoners attempt to defeat Obliteration by planting a bomb on him that will explode when it stops receiving a signal from another device. This plan fails as Obliteration tears his shirt, with the bomb, off. He attaches a ball and chain to David's leg, then dumps him into the water. David struggles to swim, but can't. As he is giving up, he feels someone grab his leg and free him from the chain. After getting out of the water, David sees Megan in wet clothes, walking away from the scene.

Newton meets with Obliteration in the top floor of a building and David spies on them. He slips, and is almost discovered by Obliteration, somehow isn't seen. After Obliteration and Newton teleport away, David realizes that Megan is there protecting him. He calls her out and they have a brief discussion. Megan gives him the motivator for the spyril the Reckoners have. David tries to kiss her, but she stops him and says whatever is between them won't work.
