Colossus By Design: Entry 0099 - It's Time To Throw Down

[January 6, 2146]
[South West National Park, former Tasmanian island]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the forested portion of the island, an intense battle rages on; the Zeta is flying around the battlefield, simultaneously holding off both the Epsilon and the Betas.

The Epsilon shrieks in anger as he expels lightning streams from his mouths through the air; the Zeta quickly dodges them all. However, whilst she does so, the Betas fire off their beams to try and fence her in with the light.

She quickly releases glowing powder from her wings that trail off behind her and engulf the small group of Betas in a cloud, stunning them. The Zeta tries to take this opportunity to prepare a counter attack, with her antennae glowing a bright pink colour, but a stray electrical beam hits her on her right wing and sends her to the ground.

The Epsilon walks over to his downed opponent and looks at her with an expression of satisfaction; the Betas join him as they land around her body. She looks up and sees the three heads of the nightmarish beast looking down at her; electrical sparks course through their teeth.

All of a sudden, a large splash in the water is heard that gets everyone's attention. They now look towards the water where the splash occurred, curious as to what exactly happened.

Just as they do, the body of the Delta is sent flying out of the water; the Betas scatter into the air as he lands next to the Epsilon. The three-headed monster looks down at his ally now, briefly turning his attention away from the Zeta.

Taking the opportunity at hand, the Zeta flies up into the air and leaves behind a powder cloud that stuns the Epsilon and the Delta after the latter had only just gotten back on his feet.

Another splash from the water gets their attention, but the two monsters cannot see what has caused it, until it's too late. A plasma fireball soars through the air, impacting the powder cloud and causing an enormous explosion.

Before the explosion's debris cloud settles down, the Gamma walks out from the water's edge and paces towards the two that were engulfed in the explosion with a determined and fiery expression. The cloud now subsides, and the Epsilon and Delta, though still standing and intact, are heavily damaged; ash covering much of their bodies.

The Gamma roars out at them, and the two respond in kind. The Zeta, hovering overhead, prepares to join her ally, but the Betas return, blasting their beams at her and forcing her to take evasive action. The Gamma, back on the ground, notices this and looks back at the Epsilon and the Delta.

Realizing he must take these two on alone for the time being, he charges in; the other two do the same. The Gamma lets loose several plasma bursts, but the Delta is quick to evade them as the Epsilon prematurely detonates them with his electrical beams.

The Gamma proceeds to lock arms with his rival and engage in a power struggle; the Delta's tentacles reach around the arm lock and pound at his opponent's shell, causing no damage.

However, this maneuver occupies the giant turtle's attention long enough for the Epsilon to come up from behind the Gamma to grab each arm with his left and right heads respectively whilst his middle head bites down on the Gamma's neck. With this, the arm lock with the Delta is broken up, and the tentacled monster steps back.

The Delta then rushes forward, performing multiple stabs with its blade arms and barbed tentacles into the turtle's more vulnerable under-shell that create multiple bleeding wounds as the Epsilon holds him back with his grip. The Delta repeats this for several moments without pause. That is, until a sudden influx of waves begins to flow inland.

The Gamma, understanding the meaning behind this, quickly grabs hold of the heads holding his arms whilst the Delta looks out at the ocean and performs a powerful judo toss on the Epsilon, slamming him downwards directly in front of him.

The Delta quickly turns around to counter, but he doesn't realize that he has made a grave mistake turning around. From the water behind him, the Alpha suddenly rushes out; the Delta only turns back around just in time to see the Alpha bite down on the tentacled-monster's neck as he simultaneously shoves him forward. He rushes forward for several meters before releasing his grip and sending the Delta tumbling onto the ground.

"SKREEEEEEEOOOOOONNNK!!!!!!!!"
