This is for filler posting outside of a current arc. It is to be considered canon. It should consist of short-term RP sessions that will not be paused for long periods of time. Any filler session lasting longer than one month will be considered ended.
[Prep work post since I have no idea when the arc is going to continue.]
Sometime back before the current mission and the one before that, The Elemental Group was responding to a report of Darkens sighted in the city ghettos. Having spotted them heading into an older apartment building, they followed them into it, carefully, until they reached a basement. The basement was large, with only a few side rooms to fill the massively large space. The Darkens were gathered in the middle of the room, as they seemed to be waiting for something. Additional auras couldn't be seen.
Aqua looked to Jake at this point. "Alright, how do you wanna go about this?" She asked their leader.

Jake sensed around to pinpoint any stragglers. He didn't find anything so he quietly responded. "Carefully. If we jump in there and blast them, then we won't be able to find out why they're gathered here." He then added quickly. "Nor will we be able to track anyone should there be someone responsible."

Aqua nodded, agreeing with Jake. She wondered though why Darkens would be in the city at all though. Zalendor hadn't been heard from properly since Osroic and pandoras box, so it was a little sudden based on how that encounter ended. Though footsteps of what sounded like boots could be heard, but yet no auras could been seen. Coming into view after a moment, was the figure of Ralph, one of Kraven's right hands that escaped capture in the chaos of the event. He was with some armored troops. "Sir, do you think it's wise to be consorting with such creatures?"
Ralph looked to his men, somewhat understanding their concerns. "I thought the same, but that creature the professor spoke with seemed to have a personal stake in this."
"I don't feel the professor is respecting Master Kravens wishes though, are we sure this is cleared with HQ?"
Ralph sighed. "Now look, Kraven is gone. HQ has placed the professor in charge, and he's carefully thought this whole thing out. Once the test run is complete, our ties with that creature are cut. We'll dispose of him after."
Aqua narrowed her eyes. "It's Kraven's old lackeys. We've been looking for them for ages..." She whispered.

Jake had pressed record on his Light Prism. "Funny that they'd turn up in relation to something like this..." In fact, why were they turning up like this? Presumably, they were talking about a shaky alliance with a certain creature everyone knew and loved......not. "I don't think I like the subject matter." Jake finally noted, not particularly happy.

Ralph's shoulder radio went off, but if the others could hear would depend. "Mr. Falco, have the guests arrived yet?"
"The Darkens are here sir, but that's it. Are you sure the call was put out?" Ralph responded.
"100% sure, they said agents should be arriving to investigate shortly. Our other party has assured me of this to be fact." The voice on the other end responded.
Ralph nodded. "World Savers and their ilk always show up, that much is for sure."
Though at this point the Darkens began to look around, as if sensing something. Hard to say if it was auras, smells, or sounds.

Jake looked at his team after kinda hearing the radio. It was probably about time to do some wrangling. If they expect us, then I suppose we'll give them what they want. That being said, he didn't exactly want to spring a trap, but they didn't exactly have much choice since they arrived after their enemies. Swiping on the surface of his light prism, he wrote 'Let's move'. If anything, he wanted to get a preemptive strike on the Darkens. A sickeningly green flame appeared around his right hand and disappeared for a moment as Jake thrust his palm forward. On the opposite side of the room, a large Green explosion of flames went off, beginning to lick at the walls. A distraction, Jake style.

Everyone's attention was grabbed by the sudden explosion of green flames, as Ralph radioed back. "Get Mr. Norman ready professor, our guests have arrived." He then touched the side of his head, as one of his eyes started to glow red. "Eyes up men! World Savers or not, don't let your guards down!" He said, taking out twin pistols. The other men, armed with assault rifles, had helmets on with goggles on, probably a form of night vision or aura scanners.
The Darkens however were restless, as most of them went to inspect the flames, thinning the group at least at first. The rest began to spread out, as one neared a corner of the room alone. Aqua had extended her aura over there to form as a trap, and once it was sprung an explosion of aura flames burst out, consuming the Darken! Ralph looked over at the Darken, smirking. "Aww, you all gonna stay and hide, after we worked so hard to put this together for you?"

Um yeah. It's called an ambush. Jake wondered if Ralph truly thought he could goad them into giving away their position so easily. Jake's Aura was completely hidden since he was strong enough to do that. He enjoyed Aqua's neat trap. Jake hid behind a pillar and took out a grenade. This was no ordinary grenade, mind you. Having come from the great mind of Kavisto, this lovely piece of technology was infused with Jake's own Fire Power. Taking a quick peek, he lobbed it around the corner into a group of (hopefully) unsuspecting Darkens, and covered his ears. Whether or not they were there to enjoy it, it would explode loudly and shake the very room they were all in. Flames would leap in every direction from its epicenter.

The Darkens that had rushed to the first fire were not quick enough to escape the flames of the grenade, as their bodies caught aflame and blasted back by the force. The sound had alarmed the guards, but they weren't able to figure out which direction it came from. While they were distracted, Aqua was causing some water to quietly spread across the floor, heading over to where the guards were. Once it was over by them, tendrils of water burst out from the floor to attempt to disarm the guards. Ralph was to much on guard to be taken by surprise so easily, even as some of his men were being attacked. Quickly finding the water on the floor, he shot an electrified bullet from one of his pistols, spreading around the room and lighting it up in flashes. Aqua was forced to move, but Ralph saw her move around in the darkness and opened fire on her. Ugh, damn it! She quickly went into a vapor form, allowing her to slip away without notice. Though the flashing of the room was casting shadows, and saw what looked like Jake's shadow from behind a pillar. Ralph began to fire with both pistols at the pillar, trying to force Jake out.

Jake ducked and rolled out from behind the pillar once he heard the sound of gunfire aiming in his general direction. He also didn't want to be made into swiss cheese. Using the brief roll to see where the pistols were being fired from, he removed something from his pocket and let it drop to the floor. Behind his new pillar, he regrouped for a moment and then came out from behind it, firing a barrage of Green Fireballs at the last spot where he saw the pistols firing.

Post by Aqua on Apr 6, 2022 19:27:00 GMT -5
Ralph wasn't quite expecting a sudden attack like that, and put up his left arm to block the fireballs. His clothes on his arm caught fire, so he simply ripped the sleeve off, showing his cybernetic arm. He put one of his pistols away, and took out a sphere from his belt, and tossed it at the new pillar that Jake was hiding behind. It stuck to the pillar and began to beep rapidly! "Someone get these lights on already!" Ralph said, growing frustrated that they were caught off guard in their own trap. The still armed guards were on the look out, but Aqua was quickly appearing and disappearing using her vapor abilities to jump around. She would appear, and physically attack a guard, disappear, and move onto the next one, before getting caught off guard by a Darken that was not fooled by her antics. Ralph smirked at Aqua getting attacked, but didn't have time to let his guard down with Jake. Level Four fire would seriously hurt if he was struck unguarded. Wheres Norman, or that damn creature?! Sure are taking their sweet time.

[Edited to add for clarification: this filler takes place sometime between Summer/Fall 2018]
Before they made themselves known, Maura had soundlessly created a localized wind current to carry herself up to the basement ceiling's rafters. She had masked her Aura, and flitted from rafter beam to rafter beam, being as soundless as possible, until she was positioned just above Ralph & the Darkens. There were rusty lights hanging from the rafters, but each light was hanging a good 2 meters below each rafter, and they were lit pretty dimly. She was well hidden in shadow.
Ugh, doesn't anyone ever dust up here? Unfortunately for Maura, the rafters were pretty disgusting. It took a conscious effort for her not to make a sound when she accidentally went right through a giant spider web at one point, and accidentally touched rat droppings at another.
She was certainly thankful when battle broke out below her, and her attention was diverted from all the dust she was in.
Maura created small, powerful, funnel gusts (like a mini tornado) around various troops & Darkens, picking them several meters off the ground and dropping them suddenly. She also used gusts of wind to help fan Jake's fires.

Jake was aware of Aqua's plight, but he knew that she could take care of herself. Hearing an alarming beeping sound, he decided it was time to vacate this pillar too. It also occurred to him that if he kept hiding behind them, it was possible that Ralph would accidentally bring down the place on everyone, which probably wouldn't be good for either side. Once clear, he could feel a sudden Wind at his back. Catching its meaning, he put out both palms and unleashed a steady stream of flames ahead of him which became an ultra quick and wide flamethrower.

Ralph's eyes widened, as he was forced to think fast. He put his arm up, as parts of it began to glow blue, as an energy shield made up of light blue octagon shapes formed to shield himself and his underlings from harm. The shield managed to hold the attack back, but the lights changed from blue and shifting towards pink. Once he was sure his men were clear, he dove to the side to get out of the way of the rest of the attack. Ralph aimed his pistol to attack, when suddenly more lights turned on in the room. They were heavy duty lights built into the ceiling, making the place almost 'too' lit. A voice was then heard over speaker. "So nice of you to join us, discount World Savers! I knew you all wouldn't disappoint me!" The back wall of the room opened up, showing a glass wall dividing this room and another. On the other side of the glass was the source of the voice. A man in a yellow labcoat, with blonde hair slightly past his neck, as well as sunglasses. "I'm Dr. Magmore, head of research of our organization. Charmed to meet you all."
Aqua managed to get free from the Darken, but the sudden break in action with the doctor revealing himself had her confused. Wait...why do I get the feeling I know this guy?...

The change in lighting was very distracting. With there being a sudden ceasefire, Jake looked at the glass where the annoying doctor was. More like Doctor Banana. "Great. What are you up to? That shouldn't be too hard of a question for a doctor to answer." His palms were still aflame, ready to start burning things again at a second's notice.

Maura froze when the room suddenly lit up. Being so near the lights, she had to blink stars out of her eyes. She felt very exposed suddenly, but hoped that if anyone looked up they would only see blinding LED lights, and not what lurked behind them.
Is that guy wearing a fisherman's raincoat? She squinted down at the man, waiting for him to answer Jake.

The Professor chuckled, as evil scientists do."You should be honored, because you've all been chosen to test out our latest development in the Meta Human project, the perfected version. Mr. Toxe was just the first step in creating a race to surpass you powered types. You get to be the first to bare witness to the future before you die!" Then from a heavy door to the side of the window opened. A person exited in a black, full body suit. The face exposed was a...man? It was a head, but the entire thing was covered in electricity, causing the skin to look transparent, showing electricity also flowing through his vanes. The suit had two clear tubes, one end connected to the person body, and the other end went directly into the suit. It took electricity from his body, and used it to power the suit. They looked like blue wires because of the electricity flowing through them. "Meet our newest agent, code named Electrode." The doctor said over speaker.
'Electrode' looked around, as if assessing who was in the room, but said nothing yet. The power flowing from him was eminence, as it was hard to get a read on his power level of electricity.
"And the cost of leading you all here to test it was so simple. Our friend just wanted one of you all to himself. She's all yours, Giga." The Professor said.
Giga's chuckling could be heard from everywhere, putting Aqua on high alert due to her previous encounters with him. Though Aqua wasn't expecting the Darken she just destroyed to turn into a portal, as black tentacles reached out to snatch her up, and pull her through in an instant! Aqua screamed, as the portal closed. All the remaining Darkens, as well as their remains, turned to a gel like substance, as they began to coat the walls of the basement, locking out the ability to teleport or portal through them, keeping the rest of the elemental group from being able to go after her!
"Why don't you show our guests what you can do, Electrode?" The Professor said, as the Electrode powered up.
Ralph smirked, as he and his med were ready for battle. "Y'all are fucked now!" As he began opening fire, while waves of electricity were discharging from Electrode. They weren't aimed at anyone directly, but they seemed to just be a discharge of his power.
----------
At the other end of the portal, Giga was awaiting Aqua, as his tentacles pulled her directly into a powerful punch! Aqua was sent flying backwards into a tree, hitting it hard enough to dent and splinter it. Giga folded his arms, chuckling, as Aqua recovered. "Ugh...What do you want now, Giga? Are you that bored that you've come to kill time by attacking a little girl? You got no one better to bother?" Aqua looked annoyed. At this point Giga had attacked Aqua several times, purely to torment her, so she wasn't even wondering why he was here.
Giga just gave his signature toothy smirk. "Oh, I've got stronger people to pick on...But you? You're special. Your mixed cocktail of emotions make you hard to resist..." He licked his lips, starting to circle her. "You still head deep in your depression?...Maybe you've reached a low point and you've thought about killing yourself?...If so, I can always help with that..."
Aqua glared at him, as she called forth her chrome rod to her hand. "I'm done with that Giga. There's no point in staying in a state of self pity, not when there's work to be done."
Giga let out a hardy laugh. "You say that, but your eyes tell an entirely different story...You can't hide that from me...You're just trying to bury your emotions and confusion with endless training and missions from your lap dog Kavisto..." Giga glared at her, as Aqua clutched her head. "I probably know you better than anyone now...You hide yourself and your burdens from others...And soon enough, they will crush you...Maybe you need a reminder!" Giga's eyes began to glow, but Aqua tried to resist and just charged at Giga with her rod cloaked in aura energy. Giga smirked, as he just would weave out of the way of Aqua's anger fulled strikes. When she went for a downward strike, Giga caught the attack. "Now, that's enough of that!" Giga then punched her in the gut, dislodging the rod from her hands, and sending her flying backwards. Giga tossed the rod aside. "Are you about done with your bravado? Because I've got some new plans for you today..."
Aqua got back up, looking to be in a fair amount of pain, as she glared at Giga. She formed lights in the air that were blue, as they shot lasers of water at Giga, powerful enough to cut steel. Giga was hit by these, going right through him, but he powered on. He shot his tentacles out at Aqua, who tried to crush them with chunks of ice, but the tentacles moved out of the way of her attacks, and grabbed her by the limbs. She tried to freeze them with an icy aura, but to little use. “You've got more fight than expected...Guess I'll just have to tire you out first..." Giga then pulled her in quickly, and he ducked into his shell and fired himself at her, meeting her midair, and crashing into her body, knocking her backwards again. But she worked herself back to her feet, grunting in pain. Giga chuckled at how quickly Aqua recovered, actually impressed. "You've got quite the spirit today, I'm surprised!...That just makes this all the more fun when we get to the main event..."
Aqua glared, as she held her hand out in the air. “Drop dead.” She said, as she swung her hand down. A massive hunk of ice covered in spikes flew down from above at Giga. Aqua had gathered it from the lake while they battled, which Giga was to busy partaking in emotions to actually notice this charged attack.
Giga looked up at the attack coming down on him. "Hmm...This might prove a small problem..."

Oh, shi... The hairs on Maura's arms & neck stood up as she felt the air around her crackle. She scrambled to remember everything she knew about lightning, electricity, air pressure, and positive & negative charges.
Trevor, if I remember correctly, Earth has a natural positive ionic charge - lightning is naturally negatively charged - it's attracted to Earth! Can you create some Earth barriers or targets to attract the electricity & ground it? She spoke telepathically, hoping Trevor would be able to react in time.
Meanwhile, Maura worked on increasing and stabilizing the air pressure around Electrode. He would still be able to send a charge through the higher pressurized, ionically stable air if he put effort into it - but she hoped that it would at least tire him out a little.
Next, she worked on creating low pressure, ionically less stable, air systems like a bubble going around & behind Jake and Trevor, to hopefully redirect any lightning around their bodies and out behind them. Lightning would naturally take the path of least resistance, she knew, so as long as she could maintain these low pressure systems, she hoped they'd be protected...
Back at the cabin, Arianna suddenly stiffened and paused in the middle of upgrading 4 of her monopoly houses into a hotel. Her eyes narrowed, head cocked slightly to the side.
"Someone.." she muttered, "is talking about emotions. A lot."

Trevor heard his best friend loud and clear. Got it! He then quickly began to create dense spires of earth. He tried to make them as electricity-attractable as possible, though electricity knowledge wasn't usually his forte, but Halo's, so he hoped he was doing it right. They rose up in spots that would attract any lightning around the group and away.

Post by Aqua on Apr 8, 2022 18:57:07 GMT -5
The earth spires were doing the job of redirecting the electricity, and the pressurized air was causing problems for the Electrode fr discharging his electricity. "They were right, this won't be as simple as just frying them..." Electrode mumbled to himself. He crossed his arms, as he began to build more power in his body, as the colors of his body began to change to a yellowish green.
Ralph saw that the earth pillars were redirecting the electricity, and he knew they could have that. Taking a few small spheres in between his fingers, he tossed them at the spires, exploding on contact! He went to try and destroy more, so it was gonna be clear Ralph would remain a problem.
With a more clear path, but not perfectly clear, Electrode uncrossed his arms, and fired two powerful beams of electricity from his hands towards Marua and Trevor. The air currents would probably help with repelling the bulk of the attack, but with so much on it's way through it would be difficult to redirect all of it.

Post by Halo on Apr 8, 2022 19:26:19 GMT -5
Thing is, Trevor could erect more spires just as fast as Ralph could destroy them. He put them up one by one as needed. He was no weakling. He'd been training extra, recently, too, and was more than capable of keeping pace.
At the same time, he tried to think of another way he could contribute as well. Ralph was there, sure, but now Electrode was also on the move again. He realized that he suddenly needed to dodge - and fast! He ended up rolling to the side, forced to stop resurrecting his spires for the moment. When he righted himself, he began breaking up part of the ground around the enemies. Then, in a suddenly burst, the broken earth PUFFED into large dust clouds, encompassing Electrode and Ralph. Unfortunately it engulfed Maura, too. He hoped she'd be okay in it. Meanwhile, he sunk himself down under the ground, disappearing for the time being...

Maura had been so focused on keeping stable pressure systems around Electrode, Jake, and Trevor that she'd left herself rather defenseless! She lept backwards off the rafter beam she'd been perched on, and narrowly missed what could have been a near-fatal charge of electricity. All the hair on her body stood straight up as the air crackled around her.
She landed with a gust of wind beneath her to break her fall, and used that same gust to keep Trevor's dirt cloud from consuming her. With one hand she used a steady gust of wind to keep the dirt swirling viscously around Electrode, and with the other she began creating a gust of wind around Ralph which would increase in intensity until a small cyclone formed around him! The hanging lights shook violently as the winds became more and more powerful.

Post by Aqua on Apr 8, 2022 19:54:31 GMT -5
Ralph quickly understood that he'd waste his explosives if he just kept destroying the spires, so he had to think of something else. But around this point, he felt himself started to be lifted up off the ground and spinning by Maura's attack! For now he was distracted by this.
Electrode's attacks were being hampered by the dust, as since it wasn't very conductive, the attacks were unable to keep getting through. Or at least with much more deduced accuracy due to trying to simply get through more than anything. "I'm not letting a dust cloud stop me!" He yelled, as his voice was crackling, sounding like energy itself. His anger was rising, as his body was now glowing with a red electricity! He extended his arms into the air, as at first is energy started as a dome, but using his power he pushed it outwards in all directions to push the dust storm away! The attack was going everywhere, as Electrode did not take into account his allies were fighting as well.
The attack ended up hitting Ralph as well, knocking him out of Maura's trap, but still shocking him as well. "Ugh! Watch it Norman!" He yelled. He looked around to see who he could see, which was Maura since Trevor was missing. He morphed his mechanical arm into an energy cannon, and fired a powerful plasma blast from it, assuming she hid behind something to dodge the electric dome attack.

It seemed underground Trevor was temporarily free from being directly attacked. Thank goodness! He had to act fast, though, as it was obvious there was a lot still going on above him! He knew that his dust clouds wouldn't last long, either.
He positioned himself intentionally underneath Electrode, who was obviously the more immediate bigger threat. He took a moment to charge up, and then as quickly as he could muster, he turned the ground into quicksand so that it would swallow electrode, and once/if it happened, he'd harden the ground back as dense as he could make it. If it worked, electrode would be stuck! At least for a bit. With him subdued for even a few minutes he was confident Maura could help him permanently take him out!

Maura's heart skipped a beat as 2 attacks came at her in quick succession! As electricity exploded around them from Electrode, she dropped to the ground and attempted to create a makeshift air pressure system around her to redirect the electricity to the ground. A fraction of a second later, however, a plasma blast was coming to take her out -- she frantically rolled to the side, right into a gust of wind that would sweep her up into the air and carry her away from the blast!
She flew herself up to the rafter beams again, avoiding Trevor's quicksand, and glanced over to the thick glass window where that dumb yellow Poindexter with his stupid smug blonde mullet was observing them. Maura attempted to create a very small, nearly imperceptible draft in the room behind the glass. She was testing to see if her Powers worked in there or not...
Meanwhile, she trained her sights on Ralph. Gale force winds blew at Ralph, attempting to blow him into the quicksand area Trevor was trapping Electrode in. Electrode seemed to be sending waves of electricity out from his suit without any regard for who got hit, so with any luck, she hoped she could push Ralph in with Electrode and use Electrode to fry Ralph.

Electrode was caught off guard by the ground beginning to swallow him! He pointed his hands downwards, trying to use the force from his attack to propel him out of the sand, but he was still partly stuck because he wasn't ready for it. He was entirely to distracted with this to be of much help to Ralph.
Ralph felt the gale winds begin to blow him back, and it didn't take him long to figure that Maura was trying to sink him. He quickly looked around, and actually shot his hand out from his arm towards a pillar, and he pulled himself to it. His cybernetic arm was strong enough to resist the wind, but that meant he wasn't able to attack with it without dealing with Maura first. Using his free hand, he started firing shots from one of his pistols from his free hand.
Professor Magmore was eagerly watching the combat unfold, taking notes on Mr. Norman's performance. Hmm...His power is rapidly rising. It never rose this high in the orignal tests... He was entirely to distracted to notice a slight breeze. The glass was very strongly inforced, but maybe the old cracks in the building didn't make for the tightest seal.

While Trevor tried to keep Electrode at least partially trapped in his hardened earth, he also noticed what Maura was up to. Yes, it was clear. And those cracks in the old building were also clear to Trevor as well. Quickly, he began focusing on creating spot quakes right where they needed to be to create a much broader airway for Maura to use to attack the professor. Clearly he was some sort of 'head guy'. Taking him out might prove to be essential!

Maura felt that she could indeed manipulate the air currents from behind the glass of the viewing room, and felt elated. She had a plan, she just needed to deal with Ralph so she could focus on it..
She created air currents around her to redirect the bullets being fired at her (along with some good ole fashioned dodging), but it was taking up too much of her attention. Maura began drastically lowering the temperature of the gale Ralph was in, hoping the freezing temperatures would affect his cyborg arm. As she did this she tried maneuvering among the ceiling rafters to get as far from Ralph's range as possible, so she could focus on the scientist.
Once Maura was able to get away from being constantly bombarded, she created a vortex of protective Wind around her & strengthened her Aura around her to act as a sort of shield. She focused all her energy on the air in front of and behind the glass. [Unfortunately, as she turned all of her attention to the room the scientist was in, the freezing gales plaguing Ralph would die down.] Maura began attempting to lower the air pressure inside the observing room, while simultaneously raising the air pressure on their side of the glass.. Due to the pressure shift, everyone would likely start feeling their ears pop. [1/2]
She felt Trevor's tremors vibrating through the entire room, even up to the ceiling beam she was perched on. Perfect, she thought. Trevor seemed to read her mind!

Electrodes eye's widened, as he had one last ditch effort to get out of the quicksand. He quickly went to overcharge his body, as his body was discharging like crazy in response. Suddenly he caused an explosion of his own power, blasting him out of the sand, but he smacked into the back wall. He recovered, but his electric body began to rapidly shift colors for some reason, possibly due to the overcharge. He started to wobble, and force himself to stand. He was having a difficult time focusing, so he didn't go back on the attack just yet.
Ralph was feeling the temperature drop for sure, but the arm was holding up for now. As soon as he saw Electrode was clear of the sand, he tossed a few blue spheres into the sand trap. They exploded with a large amount of very cold mist, attempting to freeze that entire part of the floor over. Once he was sure the trap was stopped, he let go of the pillar, but noticed Maura had moved on from him.
Professor Magmore held his ears, fully noticing Maura's attempts to effect the glass. "Don't just stand there, you two need to do something!" He said over speaker.
Ralph was growing tired of the Professor's whining, and managed to find Maura hiding again. Ralph morphed his arm back into a cannon and started firing at Maura, in some kind of attempt to stop her. The shield she made would probably work for a number of hits, but it would probably be better if someone stepped in.
Electrode managed to see Maura as well, but as he tried to charge energy, he felt he wasn't able to properly handle it like he was before. He charged up a beam and fired it, but something wasn't right. "Professor, somethings wrong-Gaaaah!" He started yelling in pain of his own attack hurting him as well. His suit minimized the pain, but he still went down to one knee, stopping his own attack. This has never happened, whats going on?!
-------------
Aqua, while holding her own, was quickly tiring out from the bombardment of Giga’s powerful attacks. She was breathing heavily. Giga looked at her, and started laughing. “Not bad at all...I'm honestly surprised by the level of power you're putting out...Whenever I decide to absorb you, you'll make one hell of a power boost..."
Aqua glared at Giga. “I'm not...going to die to you….” Aqua then called on her Mystic Power, and shot a beam of it at Giga. It flew so fast, he wasn’t expecting it to be so fast after how tired she was. He tried to dodge, but it did take out his entire right arm.
Giga looked at where is arm was, and it started to grow back. “Alright, that’s it. I'm done toying with you...” He then disappeared, as his eyes glowed. Aqua knew that Giga was always a fan of disappearing, and attacking from behind, so she turned to meet him appearing behind her with a blast aura power mixed with mystic power. Though...Giga counted on her expecting that, and Aqua destroyed a simple illusion. The real Giga had refracted light off his body and charged at her from where she was facing a moment ago. He grabbed her in one of his massive hands. “If it means anything to you…” He glared. “That hurt like hell…” He then chucked her entire body through the air, as she rocketed off. He saw her be thrown, and just watched for a second. “Sometimes I forget my own strength...” He then disappeared.
Aqua’s body was flying over the harbor, as she was recovering. But before she could take control of her flight, Giga appeared above her. “Surprise!” And he had both of his fists together, as he rammed them into Aqua, sending her straight down into the ground. The sudden break in speed was enough to hurt her, but then the attack added on really did a number on her. She crashed into the ground, people running from Giga when he landed. “Alright, now...Are you about done yet?...” Giga asked.
After a few seconds of being still, Aqua worked herself to her feet, looking like she just got ran over. She was bleeding from a few different places, like her mouth and sides. She formed aura orbs in her hands, and began to fire them at Giga. She was going to take a free moment to try and contact someone with a light prism, but she found it was missing!
Giga looked annoyed, as he simply dodged the attacks. He noticed her looking for her prism, and chuckled. "Looking for this?" He then extended his hand, and her prism was in it, which he shattered in his hand. The shockwave it gave off gave them both a toothache, but that seemed minor in the grand scheme of things. “Ugh...that smarts...But seriously, how much fight do you have in you? If this was a year ago, you would of laid down and accepted death already.”
“I would...never surrender to you Giga...” Aqua said, getting short of breath. Aqua then moved her hands, as she made waves of water burst from the ocean to attack Giga. Giga dodged these with ease, as Aqua prepared an attack. She put both hands together, one filling with mystic energy, and the other aura energy. When she thought she had a clean shot, she fired it at Giga.
Giga looked to the side and saw the rather large beam coming right for him. “Shit...” He was hit head on, as his entire upper half was blown clean off. Tentacles flailed around from the half of the body. Aqua’s breathing began to slow, as she was starting to let her guard down. Which was a mistake. Giga appeared behind her, looking furious. “That’s it!” Giga yelled, then suddenly forcing her down onto the ground with his foot. Then keeping her pinned down, he breathed his greenish yellow fire at her.
Aqua was able to call forth a massive amount of water to strike Giga off of her, which worked. But as she got up to stand, she soon became unable to move, as she fell forward onto her hands, then her face when her arms gave out. “Ugh! I...I can’t move!...” She said.
(A content warning of suggestive sexual assault.)
Giga chuckled. “Paralyzing fire...You should be unable to move for a good few minutes. But you can still feel things fine. Let’s give you an example...” Giga said, as he walked over, and picked her up by her left arm. Then suddenly he put massive, bone crushing force onto her arm! Aqua yelled out in unbearable pain, as Giga laughed. “No more power from that arm...” Giga’s attack instantly broke every single bone in her left arm, save for her hand, which was not in his grip. Aqua screamed as Giga kept his pressure, and blood trickled from Aqua’s arm. “I wonder if it’s possible for me to crush your arm to dust. But right now it seems to cause more pain broken and attached. Let’s cause some different pain.” Then tentacles came off of Giga’s body, as they wrapped around Aqua in several different places all over her body. They were covered in a acid that burned through her clothes where they touched, and causing very painful burns wherever they were touching. Aqua screamed even louder. I can’t do anything like this...Until the fire wears off, im helpless..This pain is unbearable...

Trevor obviously knew he needed to focus his attention on Ralph first, since he was directly attacking Maura. In order to try to allow her to stay focused on what she was doing (and trying to ignore the popping his ears, a feeling he did not appreciate) he created a stone shield that she put in front of her, moving it around in the air as needed to keep her from being hit.
He also figured he was about to need to put focus onto Electrode as well, however it seemed he was having some (fortunate for them) issues! He did still decide to send canon-like stones his way to make things even harder for him while he kept shielding Maura.
