When Monsters Attack in Memphis!
The citizens of Memphis, TN were trying to stay cool on a hot summer's day. The temperature reached 90 degrees with about 85% humidity. It was a hot sticky day and the citizens sought relief from the heat wherever they could. Some sought it in the air conditioned buildings while other sought it in water.

Tourists to the city took in the local sights. Some wandered through Graceland and others walked along Beale Street in the heat. Some took a cruise on the Tunica Queen Riverboat. These poor unfortunate souls would be the first to discover the impending doom that was about to strike the city.

The waters of the mighty Mississippi churned and foamed formed. A few moments later a shape emerged from the muddy waters. The riverboat was tossed about and slowly the monster emerged from the water and climbed up the east bank. It slowly pulled itself up to its full 300' height and looked at the city below. It let out a mighty roar and started destroying buildings.

	Grugulus roared from the annoying pain and continued walking. He had one goal and he would not stop until he reached it. He tried swiping at the annoying little things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Does it matter?" Anya asked as she tried to twist the flagpole in farther. "If you only had your suit on." Yes, she was grumbling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Energy readings in the quinjet's sensors, and the suit's spike, as an apparent comet streaks toward the battle field, appearing in the upper atmosphere.

"Can someone keep him still a moment?" comes the strained question as Iason struggles with gravity and momentum to stay on perfect target, tracking the laser painted signature as he rockets through unprotected re-entry.

	"Easier said than done," Anya replied. "How are you folks on the ground doing? Any problems?" How to keep this beast still? Anya flew down to the thing's mid-section and put her hands against him. She put the thrusters in her boots on full. "Hurry!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't worry about it, get clear. Going to hit or miss in about five seconds... four... three..." the area is noticibly heating up just from the approach of the comet, struggling to stay on course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Toni held her fire for a moment, choosing to ignore Anya's grumblings. She'd get over it. "C'mon... let's blow this thing so we can go home!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just some people trying to get closer to the action," James answered. "We have it under control." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grugulus thought he was close enough to the spot where he had to go. He hoped so. The small thing pushing against him was annoying. He batted at it with a large hand and sent it flying through the air. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The pause to knock Anya away is fortunate, both because it holds him still, and Anya is out of the way.

Half a second later, the comet collides with Grugulus' chest.
A moment after that, there's a massive flash of light from the impact.
The shockwave hits moments after that. All the way back in town, windows will shatter for blocks. The quinjet rocks where its set. The ground rolls, quakes and cracks, and for some thirty yards from impact, blackens as the heatwave rolls just after the shockwave.

It takes a few full seconds before the sound barrier catches up to the comet, and a series of sonic booms trail after the Eternal from the upper atmosphere, before the last centers on the impact zone with Grugulus in an ear shattering thundercrack.

For his own part, Iason has to just hope it was enough. After impact, he went careening off, one arm and most of a hand disintegrated on impact, most of his skeletal structure broken, and clearly only conscious due to the difficulties of concussing cosmic energy given form, and even that's just barely. He bounces several times, leaving small craters and impact zones before rolling to a stop fifty yards from impact, still too hot to touch.

	Without enough fuel left to get the Quinjet in the air, Toni had to rely on her mutant powers. She closed her eyes, tuning everything out but the waves of power pouring out from her and the feeling of Anya's armor. She had to slow her down, not just stop her outright...

	Grugulus roared with pain from the impact and the searing heat. He stumbled and then fell to the ground. The ground shook once more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"IASON!" Anya yelled and righted herself. She flew over to where he landed and carefully picked him up. "Iason!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His wounds aren't bleeding, but it can't help but look pretty hideous. "Will heal... with time." he mumbles, trying to clear his head, or at least his vision, without much success. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Everbody, report in," Toni called, over the comm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine," James said as he block the path of a small group of people. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya left Iason for the moment and launched another attack on the monster. They had to be sure the thing was dead. Missiles were fired, along with lasers and the unibeam. "Making sure it's dead," she said. "I could use some extra firepower if the quinjet has anything left." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Still standing," Sammy chimed in as she worked crowd control. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-08-17 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Iason doesn't respond. Even Avengers' coms weren't meant for that kind of conditions. He's definitely going to need a new one, along with an extended medical facility stay. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Did we have to kill it? Couldn't we have just relocated it to Monster Island or something? Toni pondered. "Got a couple missiles left," she said. "But I'm not picking up any life signs on the scanners." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-18 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"We have to make sure this thing is dead," Anya said. She didn't need this thing coming back to bite them in the ass. "Fire them and then...." Just how did one dispose of a corpse this big? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-08-18 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Her father was a soldier. The thing had been rampaging through a city, had probably killed or would kill a whole lot of people. She understood the math here. And yet she still wanted to think there could have been another way. Thing's dead. How much more dead to we have to make it? She fired the last missiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-18 06:43 am UTC (link)
	"Alright. Let's load up the quinjet and let's get home. I'll get Iason and if Sammy could call SHIELD for an assist on the cleanup." Anya said as she started to fly where Iason had landed. "Good job Avengers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-08-18 06:46 am UTC (link)
	Iason, thankfully, isn't hard to move, and doesn't seem to have severe head or neck damage - though its tough to say if that would matter or not. "Guessing we did it? Still can't see very well." (Reply to this)(Parent)
