Tokyo, Shibuya Crossing
The giant tentacle swung towards her like an angry wave, engulfing everything in its path; even the starfish underlings weren't spared. Starling leapt into a dirty gutter, taking refuge in the engraved surface while the limb narrowly scraped over her. A crowd of brainwashed drones was one thing, she's dealt with that before. But when the giant one showed up it became a whole different game. The colourful masks flying around with thunder bolts shooting from their fingertips, who was she to compare?
The mob appeared to grow more excited when big guy showed up. Navigating it became nearly impossible when they shifted their focus on the so called "heroes." Starling had no choice but to retreat to a convenience store where the mass of the mob overlooked. She crouched behind a shelf of potato chips to catch her breath when she saw a cop laying in a pool of blood with a gun in his hand and a dead starfish close by. Did the starfish make him do it? Or was he trying to save himself? Regardless, Starling searched him and found bullets, cigarettes, flashlight, handcuffs, and a stun gun. The stun gun reminded her of the shock she felt when her mind was freed from the starfish. Electricity seemed to be effective. Cobi and the big guy was a little out of her league, but Mr. Unknown needed to be taught a lesson.
Starling peeked over the counter to scout the situation. It was unlikely but she kept one eye out for her friend Aiko. That was when she saw a girl in fishnets going towards the danger. "Oh wow, who's this random magician lady here?" Whoever she was, Starling hoped she had the arsenal to deal with the big one. With the stun gun in hand, Starling worked her way thru the crowd, shocking every drone that got in her way. She must've gotten 12 of them before all the surrounding ones started swarming and clawing at her. The more they focused on her, the less the seemed to focus on the other heroes. Starling kicked and climbed to the top of a car where they had trouble following her. Their hand eye coordination was similar to that of a zombie. "Come at me!" she shouted, firing her gun in the air to get their attention.
