Cthulu Rises
Out of the temple doors in the bay comes an ancient evil creature. It is Cthulu himself. He roars loudly then snatches up several cultists and eats them. The frightened screams of the others fill the air. His gaze turns to the shore and then he begins to walk.

His march towards the shore begins and he doesn't notice anything else just yet.

	Cait felt the presence and turned to look out over the bay. "Guys, we really need to go NOW!" she yelled to Din, Jane and Terry. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jane turns and her eyes go wide. "If I believed in god, I'd start praying," she says finally. She wasn't the type to just have blind faith in anything. She gulps and glances at the group. "Cait is right. Let's move." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinadan looks up from the fallen spawn and gapes in horror. "How are we supposed to stop that thing?!" He wipes off his sword, but doesn't bother sheathing it. They'll probably need it soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A severely tattered and injured Jon Kent emerges from the edge of the city, super hearing having picked up on the conversation. "Go, I'll cover you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ty has been waiting for this, readying himself, and already pushing his powers. He's just praying that he doesn't get any unhelpful, let alone disastrous manifestations here, especially without Cait to help him.

First and foremost, he has to get Cthulhu's attention - which means hitting him with everything he's got. On his right hand, a yellow ring forms, drawing upon the fear of the city right now to power itself up to as powerful as he's ever felt it to fire a yellow blast. From his left hand, waves of raw violet flame - Circe's magical energy, joins the blast. Waves of psychic energy emit from his forehead, and from below, the waves rise up, battering at the elder god.
Time begins to bend around him with Zoom's power, slowing everything around Ty to a crawl to increase his raw damage output.

Despite everything he's throwing out, he fears its not enough.

At first it looks as if nothing is happening. But then the tired god shakes and stumbles. Cthulu narrows his gaze at the figure attacking him.

He takes the concept pf death then projects it at Ty. He wants Ty to know that he will kill him as he lashes out with powerful physic energy tainted with eldritch power. If psychic power were flavored this would be the most foul that anyone would ever taste.

He cannot falter, he's all that stands between the world and doom, should Cthulhu pass him. Even so, the pure psychic power of the god nearly does it. It shatters through Ty's psychic barriers, even those as powerful as Hammond's, and through the ring shields. The lessened effect impacts the Courage of Mehen, and Ty catches himself just before falling into the water.

He manifests a trident, then gestures, massive columns of water reaching up to try and bind the elder god's arms and legs, attempting to drag it backward, even as Ty fights for sanity at the improbability he's seeing.
Provided he can pull the arms aside even a moment, he launches the trident at the monster's eye in a powerful throw.

Cthulu bellows in rage that is fully realized when his arms are bound. Somehow his legs remain free. He gives a pain filled cry as the trident strikes him.

It takes some effort but he wrenches himself out. Then he begins to chant in the speech of his kind. Sickly green energy begins to swirl at the tips of his clawed hand as he throws out his power at Ty once more.

"AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!"

As the chaos energy hits him, he almost falters a second time, and the psychic side of his scream can be heard in San Diego - the physical merely on the other side of Oakland.
He feels the familiar tingling and pain suggesting something trying to fight its way up. He needs to remain calm, remain focused... but where is Cait? She's always been his rock, his center up til now. Without her he can't...

No, she's saving the world. He has to make sure there's a world to save. He has to, there is no one else.
Waves of violet energy emit from both hands, forcing the green energy back, but only milimeters away. A violet banishment circle begins to weave itself around Cthulhu's legs in the ocean floor. He doesn't seriously believe he can dismiss something this powerful, but he hopes he can delay and weaken it a little.

	With Jon as an escort, the small group made it to the bay without too many incidents. The people in the city were going crazy and were avoided. It had been a round about path to the shore, but they made it. Once there Cait calmed a stretch of water out to the island and temple. It was a short walk and their feet reached land and they stepped onto the island. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Dinadan hops off Batman's shoulder and grows to human-sized again, handing the objects he's carved seals on back to their owners. He doesn't say anything, just unsheathes his sword and looks over at Cait. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-03-02 09:13 am UTC (link)
	Jon doesn't follow them onto the island. That's not his fight. Instead, he turns back to the army of spawn and cultists and the like following the company, prepared to defend their backs as they go into whatever fate awaits. He's hurt, and bad, but he's still the son of Superman, and anyone trying to sneak up on them still has to go through him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With the cultists clear, they find themselves by the temple itself. There are runes that seem to twist and bend over a massive bronze door, with a keyhole evident. Any attempt to approach the door causes the runes to glow brightly, and the person approaching to feel a horrible burning sensation. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	sonoftheatom 2010-03-14 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	Dinadan sets Cait down to inspect the door. He retreats speedily back to her side when it burns him, swearing in Katarthan. "I am not shrinking under that to try and open it from the other side," he protests. And he really, really hopes he won't have to. "Did anyone get any keys?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-03-14 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Cait staggered to her feet. She was exhausted and right now she couldn't move a drop of water if she tried. "I have a key. Terry should and Jane as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_eldritch 2010-03-15 12:03 am UTC (link)
	At any approach, the odd letters twist and contort more, continuing to radiate that terrible heat, whether the person has a key or not. The letters and commentary in some of the journals suggest some kind of password. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinadan's pouring over his copy of the diary again in frustration. There's got to be something in here that can help them, otherwise what was the point in any of this? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Dinadan, Jane, and Batman are left floating in a slowly calming sea. The latter two are the only reason that the former is still afloat.

I left her behind, Dinadan thinks, horror and self-disgust twisting his organs into knots. I left her behind!

If his mind wasn't stuck on a loop, he'd be worrying about what he was going to tell her boyfriend and her parents, but the horror of the thought of having abandoned Cait to disappear into R'lyeh has stopped all other possible thought-processes.
