Weakening of barriers
The barrier between dimensions was usually strong, but there were times when that barrier could be weakened. Either by time or by direct intervention. The barriers to the dimension where the Great Beasts of the North had been banished were weakened.

The first of the Great Beasts to escape the dimensional prison was Tundra.

In central Canada Tundra started ripping up the Earth and destroying everything in its path.

	The Flier raced across the country to the site of the disturbance. Tundra had made his way to a small town and was in the process of destroying it by ripping up the Earth under it. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"No time to scout with that town in the way. Mel, you and my brother are on evac and life-saving duty. Everyone else, we need to get that thing out of the populated area first priority." He sets the plane on auto-pilot, then leaps, aiming himself at Tundra, not bothering with that parachute thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex was right behind Jordan out of the plane. Also without a chute. He transformed in mid-air and a red dragon flew at Tundra. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nim took off from the plane, flying behind Alex. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Great Beast paid little to no heed to the small creatures, continuing on its path. Trees, cars, houses, none of it could stand in front of its steps. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tundra was made of ice, snow and earth. Alex had read the files and knew the entity could increase his mass, but Alex could do a bit to prevent some of that. He swooped in and breathed as much fire as he could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After leaping, Jordan flattens himself out into a missile dive, picking up all the speed he can in freefall, aiming himself fists first at Tundra. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nim pulled herself right in line with Jordan, matching his speed. "Imperious Principessa!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel's in her own wheelhouse right now, sinking into the ground once it's safe, releasing calming feelings, and practically coloring the safest paths. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Being careful not to touch anything that Mel is part of, Mason starts putting up signposts and making whatever useful equipment he can. Simple wheelchairs, crutches, stretchers, anything within reason that people ask for. He's going through a backpack full of energy bars in the process, but he seems to be managing.

	If Tundra had been paying attention, he likely would have handled the attacks better, however when Jordan and Nim struck, the giant wobbled a moment from the blow. He couldn't immediately heal due to Alex's efforts, and this annoyed him. Well, they did it now, they got his attention. He turned and went for a massive backhand to all those within reach.

	strongbox 2012-10-20 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	Jordan sees the massive swing coming, and lunges into it with all the strength he can to try and make sure he's the only one hit. He's predictably sent flying. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2012-10-20 03:23 pm UTC (link)
	Considering she can actually fly, Nim should have been better at avoiding the strike. But she's not quick enough and takes the blow as well, being sent flying on a similar trajectory as Jordan. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex ducked under the swing and breathed out a stream of fire at Tundra as he passed around the thing's back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This way, people! Don't look back, just keep moving. See my big reassuring smile? Everything's gonna be fine." Mason hopes he sounds convincing as he helps with crowd control. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2012-10-22 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	Mel just tries not to worry about everyone, since that would start influencing the crowd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tundra slowly attempts to follow Alex's movements, new earth and dirt moved to smother the fires across the Great beast's back. Tundra sent a hant out to grasp Alex directly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jordan shakes off the impact, and lunges back in to shoulder check Tundra before he can get a hand on Alex. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2012-10-23 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	Nim hit the ground hard, and bounced once, before being able to get back to her feet. She took a running leap and was back in the air, zooming at Tundra like a missile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tundra's hand clipped Alex and he roared. He plummeted toward the ground. His wings flapped frantically and he managed to get air under his wings before hitting the ground. He climbed back into the sky before turning to make another pass at Tundra. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once the area is cleared, Mason does what he's good at. He starts building something. Something big. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mason grins, even as he's starting to look a little gaunt in the cheeks as calories go into transmutation energy. "I've been studying siege weapons." He climbs up on top of the ballista he's constructed and tips the giant bolt with a dual-chambered glass bulb. The chemicals inside the two halves don't play well together. He climbs back down and mans the crank, starting to wind it back in preparation for firing.

The sudden and quick blows from Jordan and Nim rocked the colossus, actually staggering him. This left him open for Alex's counterattack, large swathes of the Great beast's body covered with flame.

Now he was angry.

"YOUR INTERFERENCE MEANS NOTHING!" As Tundra's feet absorbed the earth beneath him to cover the flames, he brings his hands back..and then slams them together with enough force to uproot trees from the earth.
