"Did he just hang up on me!" Ocean Empress barely had time to put her phone away and form a shield made out of water. "Oh, I am so telling that asshole a piece of my mind next time I see him!"
Her barrier was blown to bits as a shock wave rammed into her. She felt her muscles and bones shake, and she was sent crashing back, rolling across the street, and ramming back-first into a car.
They weren't in Avalon's office anymore. She had been sent flying out of the building by a single punch from Fairy Queen. Now the battle had moved to the streets of Oleander City. It was night, but despite that fact, there was still quite a bit of traffic. Most people had done the smart thing and made a break for it the moment Golden God appeared. The villain floated above Avalon's tower, nearly as big as the building, and his many arms tore into it, ripping it apart and sending rubble down below.
Not everyone was smart, however. Some people, for whatever reason, thought this was the best time to pull out their phones and start recording. Ocean Empress groaned and managed to pull herself back up into a sitting position. She held her hand up and formed bubbles of water over the people, saving them from the falling rubble. Once she made sure they were safe, she stared back up at Fairy Queen, who floated down to the street softly.
The woman hadn't changed a day. Turned into a monster by the Emperor, Fairy Queen had fought in many battles fifteen years ago. Ranked just under Hell Hound, Fairy Queen was someone even the best Enforcer member would have trouble with. And Ocean Empress was far from the best.
The villain waved her hand, and an invisible force surged forward, heading toward a crowd of people. Ocean Empress threw her fist out, and water surged forward like a wave, crashing down in front of the people and forming into a wall of ice, which exploded into a hail of debris as an unseen shockwave smashed into it. Before she could recover and attack, Fairy Queen fired forward and rammed her fist into Ocean Empress's gut, hard enough to make the hero nearly throw up as she was sent even further down the street.
Fairy Queen licked her lips and smirked as she watched the hero kneel and clutch at her gut. She aimed at the civilians once more, but before she could attack them, a wave of gravity smashed into her from above. It was strong enough to shatter the street they were on, and Fairy Queen glanced up right as Poseidon came crashing down with her trident. Poseidon's hair was already different, and the girl's eyes glowed with a fiery red light.
Poseidon stabbed her weapon into the face of Fairy Queen, but despite using all of her strength and power, it didn't even puncture the woman's flesh. Fairy Queen wasn't even thrown back and simply batted the weapon out of her face. She held her palm out, and Poseidon was hit by an invisible explosion, which smashed the girl into the entrance of Avalon's building.
Ice suddenly rose out of the ground and formed around the Organization member's legs, binding her in place. Ocean Empress had gotten back up and held her hand out, panting slightly. The ice grew larger and began to swirl with water as they froze the villain in a solid block of ice. Poseidon came rocketing out of the building and focused more of her gravity wave, causing the block to sink into the ground and break through it, burying it underneath the stone.
"What the hell did she hit me with?" Poseidon groaned, clutching at the spot where the explosion had rammed into her. "It freaking hurt."
Ocean Empress wiped at her mouth, clearing it of the blood. She had tanked three attacks so far, and her body was already reaching its limits. The Emperor's four warriors really were something else. "She is one of the best inverting power users ever recorded. Her main power involves around illusions and dreams and messing with people's heads, though she tends to not like using it since she'd rather inflict physical harm than mental. She can get in your head and become the image of someone you know, pretending to be them. In a fight, though, she inverts her power. That's where the real issues start."
