Legend fired a barrage of lasers at Leviathan, but the Endbringer was quick to hop to one side, landing on the roof’s edge. He made a sudden, standing leap a good eighty or a hundred feet into the air, tail extending to reach for the airborne heroes.
I guess getting away wasn’t his goal after all.
Oh, and not only will he possibly be able to reach one or two of the flying heroes, but any movement above the rest of the heroes will result in a water echo that can come crashing down on them a moment later.
The whiplike tail struck Legend, and there was a firework display of light and sparks, Legend tumbling out of the sky, head over heels. In the same movement, the tail reached for Laserdream and Shielder.
Legend down, CD-6, The armbands announced, just in time to coincide with Legend hitting the ground.
Oof.
Laserdream put her own shield up, and I could remember how Photon Mom, Laserdream and Shielder all had the same basic powers.
Oh, so she’s not entirely without shields, nor is Shielder entirely without lasers. They’re each just better on one than the other.
The difference between them was that while Photon Mom’s powers were well rounded, Shielder had a far, far, better forcefield, almost no flight ability and weak laser blasts. Laserdream was the opposite… her lasers and flight were good enough, but her forcefield, not so much.
It’s a pretty good setup.
Incidentally, I really like that Taylor is referring to Photon Mom by that nickname.
