A tidal wave appeared in the distance, at the furthest end of the street, near the horizon.
Well, shit. Bitch, Skitter, you need to get to a safer place. We’ve had too many almost-drownings already today.
Scion sent out a blast of golden light the size of a small van, darting to the center of the wave, disappearing into a speck of light before it made contact with the distant target. The middle third of the wave buckled, fell harmlessly into a splash of water, all momentum ceased. The other two sides of the wave curved inward, bent, to bear unerringly towards us.
…damn. This is a man who can literally stop a tidal wave with a couple blasts.
Another blast of golden light, and one side was stopped, stalled. A third blast was spared for Leviathan, who was getting his hands and feet firmly on the ground, crouching in preparation to run. The Endbringer was knocked squarely to the ground.
Yeah, no, Levvy, you’re in trouble now. You’ve been a bad boy.
Scion stopped the third wave in its tracks with a fourth blast, but the water was still there, and it still bowed to gravity. The water level around us rose by a dozen feet, momentarily, slopping as gently over us as physically possible, like a lap of water on the beach.
Suddenly the term “tidal wave” makes a little more sense… Normal “tidal waves” have nothing to do with tides, but this one is more similar to them than most.
When the flow of water was past us, I could see a fifth blast of light following Leviathan, who had used the cresting water to swim away. He was making his way to the coast.
Run, fucker, run! You don’t belong here! Or anywhere else, for that matter!
Scion rose, flew after his target with a streak of golden light tracing his movement. Eidolon followed soon after.
The very best outcome would be if they managed to put an end to Leviathan’s reign of terror for good, but I doubt that’s going to happen.
