In the tunnel, Grendel is about to lay into Centurian with abandon when he staggers back, as if shocked.

Statika: Ahahahahahaha! Take that, fiend!

SMM: Marlon, what the hell are you doing here? And who says ' Ahahahahahaha!' anymore?

S: Ermmm...you could say thankyou for saving the boy's life?

B: Yes, you could. Thanks, whoever you are.

W: Hey, do you mind with the swinging in and saving the day! We've already OD'ed on characters!

Meanwhile, the CSF and Sunlight's group are laying into one another.

Ace: Ermmm...guys, do you think maybe we should be going?

Hybrid: Yeah. Not that I don't relish the sight of bad guys beating each other up, but there's a chance that, y'know, they might notice us.

SMM: That's a very good point. I think I have something already that might help. Now, Gentlemen, I think it was time we were off.

The group walk off, trying not to alert anyone else. Meanwhile, as far as anyone else can see, the group are getting massacred in a desperate battle.

TTT: Now that's clever.

Fused: Say huh?

TTT: Remember that time-line when we wre all wiped out? I think that was a flash-forward to the illusion Spandex just wipped up.

JLR:

SMM: That's quite a range of emotions going on.

Suddenly, he doubles over, as if in terrible pain. Then he dissapears, like mist dissapating.

JLR:

***************************************************

Back in The Big City, Nuriko and Tommy are surprised to see a man clad entirely in black collapse onto the bonnet.

Nuriko: Hey, get off! You'll scratch the paintwork.

Tommy: Hey, Nuri? I think he's hurt.

SMM: Well, so would you be if aaaarrrrggh!!

Once again he doubles over, his face a mask of absolute torture as he shudders.

Tommy: Ermmm...Can I get you an aspirin?

Suddenly Spandex yells out and explodes in a shower of light. In his place is a creature of pure beaty, wearing a robe seemingly made of light.

Creature: I am the angel Islington. Please do not attempt to attack me, or I will kill you.


OOK OOK ACK EEK!
