Cale looked at the green powder he held in his hand. What was he supposed to do with this? He was just about to throw it aside and return to the task at hand, when he noticed something. Rain was still falling all around, somehow not putting out the fires, and a drop happened to land on top of the powder. It made a loud hissing sound, and the area where the drop had hit began glowing extremely brightly.
Cale raised his hand above his head, and let it catch as much rain as possible. When he brought it back down, it was no longer a powder he held. It was a green liquid, and was shining with a nearly blinding intensity. There were also bubbles rising quickly to the surface as though it were boiling, though it was not hot. Cale, not knowing what else to do with it, drank the strange liquid.
What happened next he could barely comprehend. His pulse instantly quickened, and his thoughts were racing. He felt a strange energy building inside of him, and when he looked down, he saw that his feet were no longer touching the ground, and he was instead hovering about a foot up in the air. Visible energy began to appear in the air around him, showing up for split seconds and moving in random directions. They looked like small bolts of lightning.
Cale drew his swords, which he had apparently sheathed at some point, and found that they too had the electricity-like energy moving around them. He looked up at the Kraken-brain thing, and, concentrating hard to control this strange power, increased his altitude so that he was on the same level as the Kraken.
Not far away, the MHF watched silently, eager to see how this would turn out.

"Hmmmmmmmm no." Stella righted her UFO and began batting the marshmallows at the Kraken. "Maybe you could direct your crazy wizard powers at the Kraken, Mr Wizard man?"

"Vell, let us see." As he finished the motions and words, several large meteors fell from the sky, hurtling straight for the Kraken.
"I may be from Deutschland, but even I can see zat das ist ein SPICY MEATBALL!"

The Doctor, ignoring Captain Jack's rantings (He had probably had too many martini's again), swiftly moved towards the edge of the crowd, shoving his way through in his panic to get the hell out of there.
No way in hell was he stickin around for that crazy chaos! He'd get back to the TARDIS, maybe lay low a couple of days.

"YOU FOOLS!" The Kraken's brain communicated via a telepathic message sent to everyone within a 9000 Veral radius. "YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY BODY!" The brain, even with no visible eyes, could clearly see everything and - more importantly - everyone around him. Thus, it turned to Cale, whom it was particularly mad at. "YOU! MOUNTAIN DEW SAIYAN! YOU'LL MAKE A NICE FIRST VICTIM!" Several tentacles from its tentacle exterior reached out and grabbed the meteors, hurling them toward Cale. Then it tossed one at Stella and the wizard for good measure.

"Yay!" Stella leaped off her UFO, heading straight for the meteor. She landed on the rock as if continued to fall. Using her space ninja skills, she planted her sword in the rock and tugged, pulling it up out of its path. It narrowly missed the buildings and turned its downward trajectory into a parabola. Too bad Stella doesn't know what a parabola is.
Satisfied, Stella sat down crosslegged, steering the meteor with her katana.

"Oh shnap! Let me fix dis." He spoke the words of power, and the meteors shrank to the size of gumballs, and flew straight into Izaak's mouth. He chewed them. "Mmmm...deez are red-hot flavored gumballs now. As I said, das ist ein SPICY MEATBALL!...but not meat...hehehe!"

"Squeak!" Vampire Balloon Ridley descended from the heavens next to Azzi. It was wearing a bathrobe and shower cap and wielding a loofah in its beak. Evidently, it was annoyed that it had been called away from its shower.

Vanguard squad arrived on the scene...and stopped, trying to take in the whole fight. "Uhh...what?" Myrxxan asked.
"Are those meteors?" Viper muttered, shaking his head.
"Ugh, whatever. Konnig, take out the beast from a distance. Durzo and Xaadm focus on the tentacles. Viper, with me." Myrxxan ordered. The squad jumped into action.
Konnig reached into his Hammerspace armory and pulled out a pair of gigantic anti-tank rifles. "Booyah!" he grinned and opened fire, blasting apart the offensive beast in an explosive hellfire.
Xaadm and Durzo speeded towards the mass of tentacles of the creature. Durzo quickly drew his sword while Xaadm summoned a small swarm of blades. They attacked in unison slicing off tentacles en masses.
Myrxxan and Viper hung back, both casting spells under their breath. The world around Viper began to waver and hum with power. "This illusion should screw with him a bit." he muttered. The spell caused the world around the kraken to become hazy and unpleasant.
Myrxxan finished his incantation, and the air around the Kraken began raining fire.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'll make it up to you later." Azzi said. He vaguely wondered why something made out of balloons needed to shower, but dismissed it for now. "Now then..." he charged the beast, disappearing and then reappearing on the beast's head.
"Let's do this!" He shouted and promptly stabbed at the brain tissue...stuf with a knife.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The hair crackled and hummed with energy as the air around the dark portal howled like a maelstrom. From the black abyss, a figure stirred, stepping into the light and bringing a profound wrongness to reality along with it. Zais stepped into Dynasty City with a dark smirk.
"So, the time has finally come to....what the hell is going on here?" He tried to make sense of the scene in front of him. The four Havoc Squad members were all standing around nervously, rifles trained on the rooftops around them. Sindri sitting in the corner, rocking back and forth and muttering pitifully to himself. "Uhh..what-"
"Shh!" Taler hissed. "It might come back."
"What are you-"
"I didn't think anything could move that fast." Vin muttered. Zais stared.
"Huh?"
"THe molesting..the molesting..so fat...burning..." Sindri muttered. Zais stared at him for a long moment before realizing what that meant. His face paled.
"Oh god...let's get out of here." Zais quickly created another portal and transported the lot of them away....and coincidentally enough rather close to the Kraken battle.
"Nice to see that things haven't changed too much around here."

Stella's meteor somehow escaped being turned into a gumball. Probably because of ninja skills. Or something. Having completely forgotten why she was on the think in the first place, She steered it around some more before jumping off and letting it fly on its own...right for Zais and Havoc Squad.
"A wizard did it!" she shouted as way of an apology. Somehow she ended up on Vampire Balloon Ridley with Azzi.
"Woah, where am I?"
~~~~~
Crossmen squad simply watched the fight from a safe distance.
"Didn't we say we would put out the fire?" Remarkably, it was Torran who asked.
'Yeah," Jace replied defensively. "But we didn't say when we would do it. It's dangerous right now, what with Vampire Balloon Dragons, gumball meteors, giant floating Kraken brains, and Stella."
Matteas sighed heavily. "Let me." His eyes glowed indigo as he summoned up his telekinetic powers. A large sphere of water rose up from the ocean and hovered over the city. After a second, it broke and rained down. All the fire went out. Everyone was soaked.
"There. Now we can slack off without getting yelled at."

With a sigh, Zais once again teleported the group to safety.....right next to Crossmen. Zais blinked, staring at them. "...some how I think this will end with fighting." he said blandly, summoning his scythe. Havoc squad took aim...and Sindri continued muttering to himself and rocking back and forth.

All five member of the Crossmen squad froze in place. No one dared to even blink. This was Zais - motherfizzing Zais - master of shadow magic, summoner of demons, and all around jerkass villain antihero token evil teammate. A single though ran through all of their minds at the exact same time. Well, we're pretty much fizzed.
"Sup?" Jace greeted. Everyone else though he'd snapped because he was now laying in a lounge chair with a pair of sunglasses on. "Don't mind us, we're just here to watch the fight. Right guys?"
They nodded numbly and unpacked their compact folding lounge chairs - that Jace had required them to carry around - and got in them. The sunglasses were useful because they hid their fear.
Jace smiled and gave the V sign with two fingers.

Cale knew that, given the fact that he was currently flying and emanating some kind of energy after drinking a liquid he made out of rain water and powder given to him by a complete stranger, he had no excuse to ask questions right now, but even so, seeing meteors hurled at him then subsequently turned into gumballs still confused him.
Clearing this from his mind, he flew towards the Kraken Brain. He stopped before the protective barrier of tentacles, and pointed both swords directly before him. A massive laser shot forth from the blades, leaving a massive hole in the Brain's defenses. Cale quickly flew through the hole, and joined Azzi in brain-stabbing.

And then all of the Vanguard apparently didn't remember that this was a super-intelligent, psychokinetic brain who attacked with thousands more tentacles each time one of its main tentacles was sliced. Its super intelligence and tentacle filled tentacles thus rendered Xaadm's, Durzo's and Viper's attacks NOT VERY EFFECTIVE. So, tentacles came out of the tentacles that had been sliced off and wrapped themselves around Xaadm and Durzo. Anti-tank rifles and raining fire all worked, of course.
"GRAAAAAAAAAARGH!" With much of its tentacle-y barrier destroyed by oversized rifles and laser beams, it was now totally defenseless. This left Azzi and Cale free to strike, and somehow they managed to stab the brain directly in its self-destruct lobe.
"LET'S FINISH THIS METROID STYLE, MOTHER FIZZERS!" The brain started absorbing all of the electricity, fire, lasers and any other form of energy that had been released during the battle. Within a matter of moments, the brain had started glowing and trembling violently.

Zais stared at the Crossmen for a long moment, mentally wondering if he should even speak or simply wipe them from existence to help cure his sudden bout of boredom. "Who are you all supposed to be anyway?" he asked.
Behind him, Gree had his rifle trained on Torran, glaring at the other man. "We should just take 'em out, sir."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"This...isn't good." Xaadm observed flatly, struggling uselessly against his bonds. "We could actually die here."
"Hah, maybe YOU would." Durzo said with a grin. Xaadm stared at him. "Ok fine. Uhh lemme see...."
"I've got it." Konnig called from his position. He aimed his guns at the tentacles and fired, blasting the appendages apart. Durzo and Xaadm dropped to the ground, quickly retreating along with Viper and Myrxxan.
"This thing is gonna blow." Viper said. "What do we do?"
"I'm thinking." Myrxxan frowned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That doesn't sound good." Azzi said, looking down at the brain-thing beneath him. "We should probably leave now!" he called to Stella. He hopped back onto Vampire Balloon Ridley's back. "Get us out of here!"

Cale withdrew his swords from the Kraken's Brain, recognizing the danger they were in. He leaped off of the Brain and flew away from it as fast as he was able to.

"Squeeak, squeeeeeak!" Vampire Balloon Ridley nodded in agreement, exhaling balloons which flew to the back of its tail and took the form of...jet engines? The balloon turbines started spinning wildly, and Vampire Balloon Ridley and passengers were propelled as far away from the Kraken's brain as possible. Coincidentally, they ended up right next to Aurora and Chancellor Awesome.
"Hello there. Nice weather we're having." Aurora waved absent mindedly to the group, focusing her attention on the ticking time bomb hovering above the sea.

Jace waved his hand dismissively. "Nah, man, it's cool. We ain't gonna hurt nobody."
Sherri mentally facepalmed. She hoped this surfer dude persona wasn't going to become permanent.
~~~~~
Stella thrust both her hands into the air. "Yay! Splodey time!"

"YOU WON'T ESCAPE THIS, FOOLS!" The brain had harnessed all of the energy from the battle. Fire, lightning, lasers, you name it. All gone. IT HAD REACHED MAX CAPACITY AND WAS GETTING READY TO EXPLODE.

From a safe distance, Cale watched the Brain get closer to its exploding point. Suddenly from behind him, he heard, "Aren't you forgetting something?"
He whipped around to see the MHF standing there. "What do you mean?" He asked.
The MHF shook his head. "Could you really forget about your own father so easily?"
OH FIZ! Without saying another word, Cale flew back into the city. The ground was shaking, and buildings were crumbling all around him. Looking up, he saw that he was out of time. The explosion couldn't be more than a few seconds away. With no other option, he pointed his swords at the Brain as he had before, and poured all of his energy into a massive beam of energy, so large and bright it could be seen from miles away.
