Legend paused, glanced out the window.  The storm clouds had reached the beach, and torrential rain stirred the water into a froth.  Not just rain, but buckets of water.

(Lewd.)

We’re running out of time.

“We think of Leviathan as the middle child; he was the second of the three to arrive.    He is not the physical powerhouse Behemoth is, nor the cunning manipulator that the Simurgh so often proves to be.

Interesting. So there are three Endbringers total: Behemoth, Leviathan and the Simurgh. The Simurgh, believed to possibly be a mind reader, is a cunning manipulator, which implies a fairly good intelligence.

Oh, I guess I haven’t actually made this explicitly clear yet, but I’ve been a bit unsure on how human these monsters remain, not just physically, but mentally. That the Simurgh is intelligent is a sign that they might be doing all this by choice.

I’m not sure if that’s a good thing.

So if Leviathan’s strength isn’t Strength or Wisdom, then what is it? Magic, as in powers that don’t involve enhanced physical ability or insight, maybe?

That said, I would advise you to think of him as having many of the strengths of both siblings at once. 

A bit of a balance, I see. So he’s not as strong as Behemoth or as cunning as the Simurgh, but he’s both strong and cunning where Behemoth and the Simurgh probably each focus on one of the stats?

You’ve seen the videos on television and the internet.  You know what he is physically capable of.

I don’t. Those videos would be spoilers.

I want to be clear that despite the image he might convey, he is not stupid, and he can display a level of cunning and tactics that can and will catch you off guard.

So he does appear to be stupid?

There was a quiet murmur through the room at Legend’s words.  One in four dead.  And that didn’t mean the rest of us would get away unscathed.

Also a good point. You could easily get horribly maimed and still survive.

(Hear that, Coil? ;p)

“I’m telling you your chances now because you deserve to know, and we so rarely get the chance to inform those individuals brave enough to step up and fight these monsters.

Which I suppose means you get quite a few overconfident ones. That said, underconfidence, lack of morale, is possibly even more damning.

The primary message I want to convey, even more than briefing you on the particulars of his abilities, organizing formations and battle plans, is that I do not want you to underestimate Leviathan.  I have seen too many good heroes,” he paused for a fraction of a second, “And villains, too, die because they let their guard down.”

Good heroes, good villains, good rogues… rest in peace.

There we go. As I was saying…

Howdy! Welcome back to the Penny and Clyde Show, with me, Jaune Arc!

Last time we met a bunch of people who are likely to die in the upcoming chapters, and I bummed myself out at the end by speculating on who would. On the horizon looms a dark storm and a terrible beast known as Gl’bgolyb. Soon enough our bug-themed protagonist K.O. will join her (formerly?) fellow Teen Titans and a slew of other capes – among them Spiderman, Enoby, Pumbaa, Garnet and the Triangle Clan – to fight this evil Doombot threatening their city.

I’m not sure the fight proper will start in this chapter, though there’s not much time left – Celestabellebethabelle said it’s on the order of minutes, so whatever he still has left to say in this briefing meeting, he’d better say it quick. Whether or not they actually start fighting Gl’bgolyb in this chapter or not, chances are we’ll at least finally learn a bit more about it, and the Doombots in general.

I hope I didn’t mix up any more names. That would be embarrassing.

Anyway! Let’s get this show on the road, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
