"This entire planet is practically wreckage. Maybe we need something more specific... or try the word in a different contexts," Diamondhead adds.​

Kitty still covered her head, and was hunched over, as what was left of the plants still remained in her hands. She swore she could have heard something! Anything! But...the words escaped her, like it was just on the tip of its tongue. Dang it Will. Taking a deep breath, she put her hands down, but then quickly put it on her stomach, as Kitty felt sick. As in, she was about this close from barfing, she needed a barf bag before something else happens and she loses her stomach's contants.

And now, those shadows that danced among those plants that were simply wrong, now stood on the top of a mountain. It was like a challenge, who is the fool who will go up the mountain to meet these questionable beings that would likely rather be left alone? And probably get thrown off to their death? That fool, was Kitty. Luckily, she was stopped by Deoxys giving them a clue that was attained through far more safer means.

"Wreckage. Remains of something that has been wrecked, aka smashed or broken forcefully. Also has sea connotation, and their synonyms are jetsam, flotsam and ligan. Well...the word in pretty much all contexts have the same meaning, so if we're to be more specific, we're going to have to go for wordplay. Or just ask that weird DNA thing if it can get anyone information."

Maybe- Kitty had the power of future sight, surely she could find the answ- No. Kitty was going to wait, until all options were exhausted. Then she could split her head open trying to console answers.

The shadows dissipated and the wind blew lazily away from the mountain cliff. Ludger crossed his arms, considering the discussion. "You're right," he said, looking to Kitty. "Wreckage sometimes implies the water. There's a structure collapsed halfway in the lake near those spires." He pointed to where the city met the lake. "The structure looks out of place."

"It almost looks familiar..." Eleanor said absently.

After a moment, Ludger nodded. "I don't see anymore of those shadows, so perhaps they've said what they will. That probably gives us at least two areas of interest. That structure half in the water and those factories emitting smoke. Well, assuming we can trust this information."

A flash of green light turns Diamondhead back into Ben.

"Sounds like a split-up," Ben comments. He squints, looks and evaluates the group. "Or is it a better idea for the whole gang to go as one?"

All things taken into account, he was the only one in the whole shebang who had the means to fully adapt to underwater situations.

Yet the factory was strangely... bustling with activity.

But if splitting up was in order, then he would wait and see what others would feel, and where they might want to go.

"I don't think we have a choice. I don't like the idea of splitting up either, but we do get to cover more ground this way," Touma responded to Severa seriously, "We'll just have to put faith in ourselves and each other not to take any unnecessary risks. I'm sure that sounds easier said than done between the... submerged structure and the smoking factories, but all things considered, we can't afford to be careless, especially in a place like this."

The boy could only hope that his Imagine Breaker would be able to dispel any sorts of illusions that might come their way. This world seemed rife with all sorts of mind games and tricks, but of all things, the fear that it fed off was more than likely the fear of the unknown. Not knowing what was here, or why it was here. It fed off human nature.

But he knew he had to be above those negative influences if he wanted to get anything done here, where the influence of malevolence was at its strongest.

So he forced a smile despite the grave situation.

"Besides, if you're so worried, I'll make personally sure to protect you!"

Crow said:

"I know that, but it's as Touma says- we'll need to cover more ground since our enemies are acting fast too... also, I made this a short while ago."

Ben hands Severa a lance made of the same green-hued crystal as his recent transformation.

"It's not the most durable thing, but I thought it'd do the trick for now. If light's hitting you, try refracting it away with that."

Ben's eyes widen at the sight of the Cosmic Ghost Rider driving off to the submerged building.

"Can he do that? I know what it's like to have a head like that and you could honestly die if you dip yourself in too much. Should I accompany him?"

Ben looks towards his various allies to see where they might be going before he solidifies his decision.

"Well, someone's gotta dive into those waters, and something tells me I'm that someone," Ben says, "our current team doesn't have too much in the swimmer asset, so I think I'll have to go."

Ben smacks his watch down, initiating a transformation.

"Teeeeerraaaaaspiiiiin. OK, whoever's on board with the water park hop on. I'm flying us there."

"Please don't eat him..." Terraspin comments as Keaton shares his views on Alonso's sour taste.

"... or me, for that matter."

"I think there's a misunderstanding here. I don't just eat people. Only when they y'know.....try to poach my kind for their fur. It's real soft after all so we get a lot of poachers back home."

"I'd never eat people nice as you guys though!" Keaton spoke realizing what he said might've not come out as he intended and felt the need to explain himself.

"Hold on," Ludger called out, though independent parties were already making their move. He agreed that time was of the essence and that splitting up was probably the only option, but they needed to be organized about this. The trek to the two destinations would take under an hour at the very least for those on foot. He was about to say as much when the wind that had picked up suddenly deadened.

The view on the horizon seemed to melt before everyone's eyes. The entire park around them began to shift and change. Walls and a ceiling began to take form, forcing Will, Frank, and the others to stop short before they ran right into a solid surface. The walls collapsed inward rapidly until everyone was standing in a single hallway. On one end was a much closer view of the factories, while the other was a closer view of the submerged structure.

"Something is choosing for us," Eleanor said, looking both ways.

Ludger thought on this for a moment, but a loud crack in the air caused him to jump backward. The ground in the middle between the two ends of the hallway were starting to fall away, making a choice between the two locations a matter of urgency. Ludger grabbed Eleanor and helped her back away from the falling floor toward the factories. "Careful!" he called out.

Terraspin quickly put those who agreed to go to the submerged building on his back, which in all honesty only included Schala, tossing them towards that area via his sheer strength. He continued for some others too, but found his methods inefficient.

"Deoxys, think you can assist? Will, try to contribute. Guy Gardner, light it up! All fliers, assist however you can. Everyone down there who's got metal on them, grab someone, not something!"

Terraspin dives down fast and disappears from sight, before those who were on the verge of falling and were primarily wearing metal, possibly including Blitzcrink, Corrin, Severa and a few others (provided they were too late for the leap of faith), some who were wearing significantly less metal on the list, were levitating. Hopefully they were indeed holding on to someone, or perhaps someone was holding on to them.

The one who caused the levitation of these metal-wearers rose from the pits like a magnetic angel, he himself possessing this property.

"Looodestar!"

Using his powers to put those he had held on different ends of the corridor, he then used his magnetic powers to peel platforms off the walls in an effort to support and raise the remaining stragglers and fallers to safety on the different sides.

"That should account for everyone. Do you all sense any mind signals or life signals unaccounted for?"

"Tch you gotta be kidding me" Keaton spoke learning really quickly how shitty of a situation they were in. Though he could've just made it across and been fine Corrin came to mind and was first on his priority list.

"We need to go!" He spoke before taking her by the arm his intent to try and get them both over to the factories side. It seemed doing this regardless would be the right move on the wolfskin's part even if they didn't have time to make it across considering what Ben was up to as now another creature he'd never seen before.

"One step ahead o' ya, pal!" Guy called out to Ben, steadying his clenched right first with his left land. He needed to breathe. Focus. Let his hope and will flow through him until they became him. He had to transform himself into a vessel of light, a place through which light and life could meet. A torch bearer. A beacon. A light in the confusion. Light exploded from his Blue Power Ring, stretching out in all directions.

Within moments, his latest construct began to take form. Kyle had always been the artist, wasting energy on extravagant details and intricacies. John was the architect, wasting brain-power on excessive precision. He wouldn't get started on Hal. He'd have conjured up a fleet of harrier jets to fly his team to safety by now. Maybe he lacked the 'talents' and 'flair' of Earth's other lanterns, but if the Blue Corps had taught him anything, it was that every cloud had its silver lining. His constructs had always been so much more earth-bound. Practical. And when Ben was calling for a helping hand, Guy was going to give him just that.

Calling upon all the hope he could muster, Guy, peaceful minded and mellow, transformed the light the swarmed him into a giant blue baseball glove, ready to catch the remaining stragglers and scoop the back up towards the magnetized path.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. This flight will be departing shortly. Please strap yourself in to your metal accessories and keep your hands inside my hand at all times--"

Once suitably raised, streams of blue light would slowly weave themselves into rods or rebar and supporting beams, linking the Terraspin's raised platforms into a long, reinforced bridge, complete with a sturdy handrail for good measure.

"And as your Captain, I'd like to remind you not to leave your personal items unattended for the duration of this flying-bridge ride. I can't promise you a refreshment cart, but I can promise to keep you all out of the abyss for a lil while longer. Now, remember to have a safe journey, and thank you for flying-slash-almost-falling with Gardener Air!"

“Pardiez! Watch out!” Alonso quickly jumped over to the factory side while maintaining a grip on his rapier. He signalled to the other’s to come, or go as they choose. Alonso sheathed the slim sword into its sheath to help others who would jump over.

" Well, I know what I have to do." He quickly would attempt to grab Quentin and drag him to the factory side. " Let's go to the factory."
