[b]"I spent a lot of time on those."[/b] Isaac sighed. Unfortunately for him, his three dragons were dealt with. They'd basically been torn apart, and reconstruction was an unlikely event. Not impossible, but it would take time. A rather annoying amount of time. He would have to retrieve what he could, despite the danger. The dragons were still semi-salvageable. If that was the goal, then he knew what he needed. Isaac pushed some buttons on the console in front of him and gates opened below, in the depths of the sewer. It would be a good time to test a few things. Some monstrous roars could be heard but were abruptly cut off as his man-beasts did his will. He adjusted his glasses and continued pressing more buttons. A few more cages opened below and the beasts inside were teleported away. Isaac sat back and watched. ----------------------------------- On the battlefield, with the dragons down and the heroes causing pandemonium, it looked like another turn for the worse for the underground movement. It seemed that the reformists were winning, and they very well may take the day soon. Suddenly, another monstrous roar sounded from the depths of the underground. The reformist footsoldiers looked around nervously as they wondered what would come next. But things grew oddly quiet for a few seconds, and they were confused as to what it was. Suddenly, a reptilian head burst out of an intact part of the ground, behind the reformists, snapping up one of the footsoldiers. The others turned to face the new threat but it disappeared back underground. They rushed to the hole to try and catch another glimpse of the beast, only for the reptilian head to appear at their newly turned backs and swallow another hapless victim. It quickly disappeared from view again, and the footsoldiers were wary. Where would it come from this time? They made a circle around themselves, weapons drawn. Suddenly, 3 heads burst out from under the ground and ate the soldiers whole, forcing them down their throat and disappearing again. Several more heads appeared from the ground and consumed the remains of the other dragons, swallowing them down faster than the reformists could react. They disappeared once again, and everything was still once more. The reformist foot soldiers stood nervously, not able to anticipate where it would go next. Suddenly, 9 heads burst out of the ground followed by a massive reptilian body which covered a third of the square. 3 of its heads roared while its other heads snapped up some mutant soldiers (Ophanim, vampires, elves). The reformists opened fire but the bullets bounced off of the Hydra's thick scales. In response, 3 of its heads spit fire, ice and acid out of their mouth, wreaking havoc on enemy forces. The other heads opened fire with lasers characteristic of the Ophanim and snapped up anyone unfortunate enough to get in its path. But while the reformists were distracted with the Hydra, a glowing green spectral shape drifted out of the ground, right behind an unsuspecting reformist. It silently drew back its arm and dashed forward, slashing several of the soldiers within a second. As other reformists noticed its presence, they opened fire only to find their bullets passing through it. Instead of paying attention to them, it made a beeline to Light, claws ready to engage. Meanwhile, Insomnium was decimating the underground movement's forces. A man-beast appeared behind him and grabbed him in both arms, pinning him. Insomnium's shadow armour was clearly doing damage to it, but it quickly teleported and appeared somewhere else in Los angeles, at the height of a skyscraper. The man-beast held tight even as Insomnium hurt him, clearly intent on keeping him out of the fight. 3 more man-beasts appeared in flashes of blue light, swinging their claws at the soldiers. Some discharged electric blasts, stunning the soldiers, and then swiftly ending their lives. They disappeared once again in a flash of blue light before the other soldiers could react. --------------------------------- In Isaac's monitoring room, he adjusted his glasses as he watched the battle. [b][i]Good.[/i][/b] He thought. The 3 man-beasts reappeared behind him. [b]"Stand by for more orders."[/b] Isaac said to them. He stood in the chair, watching the fight. He had control of the hydra, and he could tell it what to do to a point. The 2 other man-beasts were on standby for further orders, but he didn't need them right now. All he had to do now was watch.
