As the rain continues to pelt down, it becomes clear that S,ith is slowly losing the battle with Islington, who hurls them around with contemptible ease. As the Transneopolitan-Smith leaps into the battle, a voice rings out across the battlefield
SMM: STOP!
Islington turns, and grins at Spandex. It reminds those who look at it of a wolf preparing to feast on a courageous Antelope.
I: You. I shouldn't be surprised you survived the destruction of the Sheol Realm. You were the only one who ever resisted.
TTT: What? Spandex, what he's talking about?
SMM: The Sheol Realm. It's a realm between fact and fiction that controls the pathways between the worlds. Islingto escaped there after being destroyed in fiction. He won us over with flowery talk of his wish to help us. We listened, and in the end he wiped us out.
I: Except you. Prince Judas the Fair, master of the Gate, Keeper of the Sacred Globe and High Priest of the Spandex Monkey.
TTT: You're a prince?
Nuriko: Hey, Tommy! The fashion victim man is a prince! Maybe he can pay for some new clothes, these are soaked!
Tommy has evidently noticed as he's brokaing off pounding the Smiths to ogle Nuriko's sokaed shirt.
I: You abandoned the others in the tunnel, didn't you? They're going to die now, without you. Moriarty's got a plan.
SMM: Do I look like I care?
The two hurl themselves at each other, and begin to fight. Both fly into the sky and are soon lost to view as they're titanic battle begins.
***************************************************
Back in the tunnel The JLR are faced with the prospect of trying to rescue Centurian's Mum from the hands of Sunlight's Group. Moriarty's group are stunned, unable to come up with a plan without their smart-ass leader, who has fainted at the shock of being bested by a guy from a crappy pulp novel.
Brit: Anyone have any ideas? I'm fresh out.
MS2: We could try a surprise attack.
S: We don't have the manpower. TX would kill her and then kill us.
H: But with Spandex on our side...
S: He's gone.
H: What?
S: He just murmured 'at last!' and then teleported out. I don't know anything about that.
Suddenly RM552 appears out of the tunnel behind them.
JLR: argh!
RM552: Sorry for just appearing like that. Got bored of waiting. Wassup?
Ace: They've got Centurian's mom, and they'r gonna kill her unless we surrender. Plus there's two groups out there. We don't have the power to sort this out.
RM552: I think I've got a plan. Fused, play Wagner's Ring Cycle.
F: Say what?
RM552: Just do it, okay. Wednesday, Hybrid, Midnight Spectre 2.0 and Ace, prepare to take out Sunlight's Faction. Brit, use you information overload on TX. I'll grab Mrs. Henderson and then we run. Everybody cool?
The group nod, and ready themselves for the attack. Fused fades in The Ride of The Valkyries, and they leap...
