"...after about half an hour I could begin to move, but only just. My armor is pretty heavy, and having a single digit strength score doesn't help." I finished telling Riley about my night as I cleaned the floor. My Inventory was pretty full of pollen or spores or whatever, so I had to take multiple trips to the bathroom to get rid of the mud and water.
The little girl nodded. "So you noticed Lost Garden getting closer not only to your clinic, but to the base and hotel room too. I agree that taking the initiative was a good idea. If we waited for trees to begin to pop up out of the floor, that would be too late." She tapped her foot before waving a finger at me. "What on Earth made you decide to go alone?"
'I was afraid you'd start a fight.' I couldn't say that, especially since a fight had started anyways. Parahumans on the whole seemed like a 'shoot first, ask questions later' sort of crowd. "I just planned on scouting. My summons didn't work, and I'm sneaker than you are."
**Riley is disappointed.
**Riley is incredulous.
She wound her arm back and threw a straight punch with all her might.
-0 HP
"Dummy!" She looked at her knuckles and frowned. "You should've told me, then I could've come to rescue you when things went wrong!" The black-haired girl glared at me. "The buddy system works!"
I hold up my hands. "I know. I apologize for going off on my own. It won't happen again."
**Riley is happy.
"Hmpft!" She crossed her arms and snorted. Somehow she made it look cute. "As long as you learned your lesson!" She tilted her head while her eyes looked sideways towards the ceiling. At the same time she brought a finger to her lips. "I think you should tell me exactly what you learned so I can make sure you've learned the right lesson."
I suppressed a sigh. I deserved this.
"First, even if going solo was the only option, I still should've let you know. Second, PHO doesn't give a full description of things. I underestimated my opponent. Third, the better way to negotiate would've to go to edge. Being behind enemy lines means that I'm cut off. Fourth, I'm much better at hit and run engagements. If I wasn't trapped, I could've identified what their powers were and come up with counters before hand." I frowned. Was I forgetting anything? Ah. "Fifth, life isn't a game. I shouldn't treat it as one."
That last one was going to be rough. I mean, Gamer's Mind almost made it impossible. Going on a solo stealth run? Made perfect sense to me. I really only panicked there at the end when I thought about what my death would mean for others. Huh. I guess I have changed. I didn't think that way when I killed Mr. Price...
"Darn tootin'!" Riley's scowl turned into a smile. "So how're we going to wipe them out?"
"What?"
She rolled her eyes. "Didn't I just praise you for taking the first move? That's why heroes are usually so lame. They respond to villains. That means they give up their initiative. We should attack!"
"What? Now?"
Riley's Zero-Suit morphed to cover her.
*Riley has invited you to join her Party.
Riley ► Yes, right now!
Riley ► No waiting for the Protectorate, or asking permission, or planning.
Riley ► You said they had a spy come to your clinic, right? Well, we need to hit them fast and hard before they've had time to regroup.
Kevin ► Are you sure about this?
Riley ► YES!
Riley ► We're heroes! It's in our job description to beat up bad-guys. Everyone knows that Lost Garden are a bunch of losers. From what you said, their leader sounds like a real piece of work. I say we open a can of bio-engineered plague on their tushies!
I think Riley still had some anger issues. Especially when it came to older men taking advantage of younger women. Not that I blame her.
Kevin ► Bio-engineered plague?
Riley ► Yup! I already have sanitation smoke. Changing it to wipe out plants is super easy. If it tweak it a little, I can have it dissolve cell walls! That way it can't possibly kill any animals. Heck, it already does it for bacteria.
**Riley is contemplative.
Riley ► Of course I'll need to add a short half-life to it. No point in tempting fate, especially with someone who can probably blow it across the city. Don't want to kill normal trees or grass.
Riley ► Oh! I know! Give me some of those spores! If I have half an hour with those and some samples from the edges, I can refine it to only work on Barrow's plants!
Riley ► The ice and fire ones will need a more forceful touch, but that's where you come in!
Kevin ► Sure, I'm game.
**Riley is upset.
She glared at me. Her face was hidden underneath her helmet, but I was sure Riley was glaring at me. I raised my hands.
Kevin ► It's just a figure of speech.
It took an hour for my remaining strength damage to recover. I got a 5% resistance when the last damage healed. Just in time for Riley to finish preparing for our attack.
Barrow Dandelion felt the suns' rays as morning dawned. Not on herself, but the eastern-most section of the forest grew slightly warmer. Temperature was always the easiest thing to feel. Her connection to the wind fluctuated the most with heat and movement. The wind that constantly blew one direction or another wasn't helpful. She could sense changes in it, such as humidity or pollution, but that wasn't useful. Not that sensing dawn was of much help either, but it mentally recharged her.
Dandelion, she'd forgotten her outside name, was still groggy. It wasn't the first time that an outsider had attacked them during the night, and it wouldn't be the last. Fortunately her power was always on, granting her information. The forest was her body, in a different way that it was for Barrow or Rose.
The first sign that anything was wrong was a faint taste in the air. It was hard to describe. Almost like Barrow's pollen, but as if it had spoiled. Pollen couldn't go rotten right?
The currents had changed... the forest was getting smaller?
"We're under attack." She whispered her words, the wind guiding them towards her sister's ears. Even after all these years, she couldn't bring herself to raise her voice more than that. Drawing that kind of attention to herself just wasn't a possibility. She was so happy that Barrow had found her despite her lack of social skills.
It was coming from the south. That disgusting smell, everywhere it went Barrow's trees died. She had to stop it!
The winds answered her call. She wasn't much use in a fight. At most she could knock someone over. She was more effective against flying attackers. Now, it was her time to shine! She pushed the house-sized area that she could control. It blew the deadly... gas? away. She pulled in more air from the north, and shot it towards the south.
A wall appeared. She could feel her air being deflected towards the side.
No! Not a wall, a tunnel? A huge tube? Whatever it was was taking her wind and redirecting it, blowing it over her area of control! It also added in that gas!
Dandelion frantically began to move her zone of control around. It was only so big. She could only protect so much of their home. She barely felt the stones falling from the sky. As if that could hurt Barrow's magnificent...
BOOM!
They weren't rocks! They were bombs! How could she have been so stupid to think that people would drop rocks on them. How could the outside world be so cruel as to drop bombs on them?!
The bombs released a pressure wave of slightly warm air. The trees barely swayed. It was no more force than she could manage. So not bombs, but containers of plague! The sickly sent of spoiled pollen began to spread throughout the forest, their home! What could she do? Barrow would know. Barrow always knew!
The giant wind diverter was working better than expected. It was just a large tube, basically an extremely simple French horn. The larger end was 20 feet wide. The structure circled around to an exit that was only one foot in diameter. Riley stood there in her Bit outfit, smoke billowing from her hands. I wasn't sure how exactly she was pulling that off.
The stream that poured out was impressive. It was meant to be a diversion, but it looked like Lost Garden's air manipulator wasn't as powerful as I thought. The real attack came from above. My pegasi had to fly pretty high to make sure they stayed outside of their party-canceling field. The bombs they dropped weren't just black boxes, instead they looked like actual airplane bombs.
It took an hour to get the volume of air inside of them just right. I wound up making the outer shell a split-second before the inner area. The inner part was where the compressed air was put, and Riley's concoction surrounded it. The end result spoke for itself. The outside vanished slightly before the inside. The resulting explosion covered an area the size of a football field in the plant-killing smoke.
It was a good plan I thought. No one should be hurt, unless they were unlucky enough to have a bomb fall right on top of them. Considering I purposely avoided landing them near the center, I felt the odds were in my favor. Now there were two options. Barrow could retreat and regroup. Riley's power killed his plants and salted the ground - at least for a while. He could run. If he got far enough away, he could regrow from scratch. I wasn't sure how long that would take him. Seconds? Minutes? Days?
The second option was that they attacked us. That seemed the most likely. Barrow's bio didn't make me think of someone who would allow an attack on his 'kingdom' to go unchallenged. He also wouldn't expose himself. No, he would fortify his personal defenses, while sending his subordinates to deal with us.
As if on cue, I saw Barrow Rose approach. She was in her frozen form, except it was much smaller and more tree-like. It seemed to be immune to the smoke.
"Awwww... I should've used a thicker protein shell!" Riley pouted.
Rose charged towards us, and I unleashed a wave of knights. Unlike before, I had space. This wasn't a tunnel. I wasn't hanging on to the side of a building. No, she could hurt me, but she'd never get close enough. Each of my knights was a Brute. Her aura would kill them quickly, but not before they got a hit in.
The dozen knights met her ten feet from us. She wasn't as big as before, and her aura didn't seem as powerful. My minions chopped her to lumber without suffering a single fatality. Well, that was a waste. I could only afford to keep two active, but I didn't want to pay any of their upkeeps. Better to save my MP for other things. It wasn't like I was going to run out of pre-made knights any time soon.
The 2nd wave didn't come.
Man, I wished I could use my summons to spy or scout. That would make this so much easier. I had gotten used to always having my mini-map.
**Legend is curious.
**Legend is apprehensive.
**Legend is upset.
"Pixel, Bit, may I ask what's going on?" The leader of the New York Protectorate floated down and hovered behind us. Hmmm... less than 5 minutes. That's a pretty good response time.
"They were obviously planning on attacking the clinic. They've been staying close to it ever since it opened." Pixel shrugged. "I prefer not to wait."
Legend had to agree that Lost Garden had been a persistent issue. "What's the fog?" However, having bombs dropping in his city was going too far; especially if they were deploying dangerous biological agents.
Bit waved at him. "Just something to kill off those icky plants!"
"And the people inside?"
"They'll be just fine. For anything else its no more harmful than water droplets."
"What about the rest of the city? There are trees and parks all over the place. Replacing them will cost a small fortune."
"Hmpf!" The more temperamental of the two crossed her arms. "My mist is a de-ionizing agent that I've surrounded by a protein shell. The shell will only break upon contact with Barrow's plants. Even then, the base solution is harmless to mammals and plants. It won't hurt anything that isn't one of his creations... or a virus... or insects..." She tilted her head. "Anything bigger than a mouse will definitely be safe. I suppose a newly sprouted regular plant might wither some. If it was already unhealthy, then I guess it's possible it will suffer some side effects."
"So if the wind blew it onto some crops somewhere right as they were budding?"
She shook her head and raised her right index finger. "In the highly unlikely scenario that some manages to make it's way to a farm?" Not that unlikely, Legend thought. There were always scavengers. Someone would scrape the residue off the ground and sell it. Any Tinkertech was a valuable commodity. "Nothing would happen. The shells decay within a minute, and the agent itself is only good for about 5. See?" She spread her arms. "There's nothing to worry about!"
He still wasn't convinced. Tinkers generally knew their own tech, but there was always the possibility of a complicating factor. Even Hero's tech had failed occasionally. Still, what was done was done. If they could actually bring in Lost Garden, then a lot could be forgiven.
"PRT mobilizing. E.T.A. 30 minutes." Prism's voice came over his ear piece.
Legend grimaced. Half an hour? "Have them deploy as quickly as possible. Prioritize the North section." Legend glanced at the two Tinkers who'd caused him to miss his morning coffee with Arthur. He suppressed a sigh. This was important. "I'm going to take position. Please try not to spread your smoke too far, even if you're confident in its selectiveness I don't want any deaths."
"Okkaaaaayyy!" Bit turned and waved at him, dropping the nozzle in the process. She let out a little 'eep' and chased after it. Thankfully it had stopped blowing when he'd arrived, otherwise they'd all have been gassed. No matter how benign, it would require a lengthy stay under quarantine to guarantee there wasn't anything wrong.
He probably wasn't going to be able to avoid that anyways.
High above the city, he scanned the remains of the forest. It had lost about 50% of it's mass. Great empty spaces spread out from Pixel's bombs. Not too strong of yield. He didn't see much property damage, even most of the glass in the plant-free areas was still intact.
There wasn't any movement. Hopefully that meant that there wasn't any one where the attacks landed, and not that there were no survivors from the attacks. PRT intelligence said that Barrow stayed in the exact center, and that most of Lost Garden stayed close to him.
If they wanted them dead, it wouldn't be hard. Barrow had strong defenses and several powerful Shakers. Despite that, Lost Garden wasn't very mobile. It was impossible for them to sneak up on anything. He could've burned through the foliage in the center of the forest - sniping Barrow would be simple after that. Of course, Barrow didn't have a kill order, so such tactics weren't allowed. He also had those annoying glitter trees that resisted his lasers.
A section of the forest was on fire, but it looked to be contained. Another section was frozen over. Those two groves had survived the fog. He'd have to mention that as a possible weakness on his report about the vigilantes. Speaking of which, their smoke-blowing tube had stopped. Instead there were dozens of those small yellow robots marching away from them towards the remaining patches of forest.
He watched as one stopped once it reached some still 'living' trees. The machine crouched down, so that it looked like a yellow speed bump. A blocky yellow speed bump. What was it doing? Other robots had stopped and hunkered down as well.
FOOSH!
One after another, the yellow machines exploded into more smoke. The clouds were smaller than the bombs, but were still big enough to fill a large room. As the fog rolled over Barrow's trees they seemed to melt. What was once a tree was now a green and brown slurry on the ground. Thankfully, the slime began to evaporate quickly - leaving behind a regular looking city street.
Sirens blared in the distance. The PRT was here. Vans came from the north and began to form a perimeter. That was one nice aspect of Lost Garden. People tended to preemptively evacuate, lest they be caught in the roaming forest. It made civilian casualties nearly a non-issue.
A large figure stood up in the center of the forest. Barrow Rose. She grew with each passing moment she stayed in her plant form. She now towered twenty feet in the air. She must have been growing this whole time in addition to using up a large amount of Lost Garden's intact trees. She had been biding her strength until it was at its peak. Now the question was where she would go.
Legend raised an eyebrow. The giantess headed straight south at a slow pace. Two figures rushed to keep up with her. Barrow Cactus and Barrow Venus. Lost Garden's main offensive threats. The two regular-sized teenagers were careful not to stray too far from Barrow Rose. Her entire body sparkled in the morning sun.
He hated that form. Glitter pollen. It was like a smokescreen, but didn't really hide the people inside. Instead it dispersed his lasers. It kept him from joining in the fight.
At least that's what they hoped. The real fight would be against Barrow. It was a tactical mistake to send his strongest members away. Without his forest to hide in, he was vulnerable. There'd be no getting lost this time.
Legend waited. He kept one eye on the fight to the south, and the other on the PRT barricade that was being set up. Once it was around 50% of the diameter, he struck. Countless small lasers exploded from him, each hitting a different leaf or branch. Barrow could grow his forest extremely quickly, but it still took time. Legend was betting that all of his Glitter Pollen trees had been used by Barrow Rose. Without them, he couldn't block the lasers. As quick as he grew his plants, Legend was quicker.
Beam after beam rained down until the central clearing was exposed. In less than a second, Legend was next to Barrow. He grabbed the older man and flew straight up. At least he tried to. The disorienting effect of the woods lingered, but it wasn't enough. While it did make him go off course, it couldn't keep him from ascending into the sky.
He ended up east of where everything was happening before he could get his bearings again. Barrow struggled in the full-nelson he'd put him in, but the older parahuman was out of shape. It was easy to maintain the hold as he flew out over the Atlantic. The worst he could grow out here was seaweed.
"That's indecent!"
**Riley is outraged.
**Riley is embarrassed.
**Riley is angry.
"Well, I don't think they make clothes for people that big."
"That's not the point! She could cover herself with a leaf or something!" Riley stomped her foot. "To just walk around so, so, nonchalantly is wrong!"
"Do you want to handle her?"
"Darn skippy!"
"Okay, but just stay safe alright? I know you're tough, but she has to be pretty strong."
Riley giggled. "Don't worry about me! Bit is on the ball!" On the ball? Is she trying to come up with a catch phrase or battle cry or something?
We stood still and waited for our opponents to close the distance. I wasn't going to enter that party-nullification field if I could help it. When they were ten feet away, I gave my orders. "Little Mac, take the one on the right. Boo, take the one on the left." The vocal commands were for show, I'd already instructed them using the Party. I turned and glanced at Riley. "Bit, I'm with you."
* +5 reputation with Riley.
"Okay!" Riley and I slowly walked forward, while my unique summons blurred past us. Little Mac was the quickest. Venus might have a deadly power, but she had to touch you. Boo was an even better match for Cactus. It didn't matter how many of his swarm she 'empowered', she'd run out of steam first.
Boo rushed towards his opponent alongside a dozen of himself. When they got close enough, they all teleported. More than half of them chose her face. Well, that's where the eyes were. Boo didn't know much, but he knew those were a weak spot.
The human screamed and grabbed one of his brothers. Boo and the rest fled, to other sections of her body. She might be big, but there were a lot more of him.
The Boo in her hand was squeezed so hard he turned into pixels. No matter. Boo made another before resuming the assault.
Little Mac rushed towards Venus. She reached out to grab him. It wasn't a proper punch, but he jerked around it just the same. It was important to learn her pattern before attacking.
One. One, Two. Step to the right. Duck below her arm and come to the left.
This was too easy. He swayed back to avoid another swipe before jabbing her in the face. She stumbled and fell.
Wow, he'd get a T.K.O. in the first round if this kept up.
"A*G*G*H*!" Mac cried out in pain. His fist was dissolving!
Venus stood up. She was swaying on her feet, but she wore a bloody smile. He'd broken her nose with that jab, but he hadn't knocked her out. This was a problem. He had one more punch he could throw at most. He didn't want to kill her, but he also couldn't knock her out.
She stumbled towards him, and he backed away. A ha! She fell down again. Wait, no, she didn't fall down. She was on her hands and knees... eating the remains of his right hand.
Little Mac wasn't quite sure what to make that. It wasn't a fighting style. In fact it wasn't anything other than disgusting!
Barrow Rose swung her giant fist down towards us. I brought a shield out of my Inventory and raised it above the heads of Riley and I.
-1 HP
The shield took some damage since it didn't possess any resistance. It still held strong. Riley raised her palm and blew smoke as a counter attack.
"Aaaaahhhh!" Her voice was surprisingly high-pitched considering her size. She shifted her weight and tried to kick us. A transparent lattice with Damage Resistance(Physical) appeared between us. It stopped her foot, but let Riley's gas out. Another scream followed.
**Barrow Rose is angry.
**Barrow Rose is afraid.
Riley began to advance, but I put a hand on her shoulder. "Hold off Bit. You're causing her pain."
"This is a fight!"
**Riley is upset.
"Is it really? Can she actually do anything to us?" I pointed at the green figure that was trying to stand. "She's lost a hand and a foot. Short of rolling over us, she's out of options."
*Little Mac has been defeated! You lose -5,000 exp. Time to respawn 23:59:59.
**Barrow Venus is enraged.
My Danger Sense flared and I dove to the side, barely avoiding a swipe by Barrow Venus. Shit! She was fast! A summoned lattice surrounded Riley and I. "Get to the center Bit!"
I took a step back as she ineffectively pounded on the wall. "Coward! Fight me!"
"I've had time to analyze your power. Why would I ever get within arm's reach of you?" A wordless cry came from her as she hammered against the barrier at super-human speed. She'd obviously gained some of Little Mac's agility. The force negation property of my summons was preventing her from hurting herself as she punched the un-moving wall repeatedly.
Or it might've been her Brute status. Either way, she wasn't using her new speed optimally. I reached out towards her. I had a 1 foot range beyond touch, and she was within it. I latched on to her with Power Drain, and started negating her power. There. Now for something longer-lasting.

The quest hadn't finished, I guess I still had to do something about Barrow.
*Perception check passed.
Speaking of which. "Say, Bit. Does it look like the forest is wilting?"
"Well, duh!" Pride radiated from Riley. "It's cause I'm great!"
"You are, but I mean the areas you haven't gotten too yet."
"Hey, you're right!" Pride was replaced with annoyance as she put her hands on her hips. "What gives?"
"I don't know, but let's heal and secure the other prisoners." Barrow Venus screamed at us from inside her room. I first went to Barrow Cactus. Whew. I've thought it before - even if it's not the same mouse. Boo is a vicious little thing. Cactus was curled up in a fetal position, trying to protect her face. The white miniature space hamsters were still chewing on her exposed flesh. I commanded them to back off, before putting up another containment room and applying regeneration to the crying girl. Odd, she wasn't supposed to be able to feel pain. Oh. Her bio shows that she's having some sort of mental breakdown.
"I think something is wrong with the giant plant girl." Riley said from behind me.
"Let me check." I had plenty of MP coming in from the other two parahumans, so I made a Gnome Shaman to keep healing Cactus while I went over to Venus.
"Why did you do this to us." Her voice came out as a harsh whisper. Sap ran down her face instead of tears. "What did we do to you? We just wanted to be left alone."
I put my hand on one of her remaining fingers. "Ask me again later, Tanya. You're going to have a rough couple of weeks, but I think you'll come out stronger for it." I connected to her with Power Drain and pushed Gamer's Mind and Pain Resistance.
**Barrow Rose is calm.
"What? What are you doing? What was I doing? Why?"
"It's a calming field. I hope that being in a better mental state will help you." I took a second to look over her bio again. "Not everyone wants something from you. Some of us just want to help, even if it doesn't seem that way at first."
* +200 reputation with Barrow Rose.
I stood there with her for several minutes before Riley nudged me. "Pixel, I think Legend is coming back." She pointed to the east.
"So he is Bit. Is that who I think it is with him?"
Riley shrugged. "You would know better than me."
I turned to Tanya. "I'm going to send you back to your body now. Please don't fight the PRT when they come for you."
She sniffed. "Of course you can do that too. Don't worry, I know when I'm beat."
Even if she didn't, there weren't any trees for her to possess, or time to grow. "Try to convince the rest to come along peacefully. I'm sure most of them haven't done anything wrong." With that, I reversed the MP flow and started draining her power. Her form got less distinct as the connection grew fainter. When it was gone, her body was already a vaguely human wilting mass.
Riley bent down and picked up a strand of her 'hair'. "It looks like the matter that makes the plants is disintegrating. No, it's not just losing cohesion, there's also less mass." She hummed to herself. "Going back to where it came from? Another dimension?"
"It looks like Pixel has subdued Barrow Rose, Venus and Cactus." Prism's report came over his ear-piece. "Our spotters say he's expanded some cages around Venus and Cactus that seem to suppress their powers."
"Interesting. I'll head there now."
"Are you sure, sir?"
"Containment of parahumans by suppressing their powers is a long-held dream. We can't pass up working with a Tinker that can accomplish that." He glanced down. "Besides, I don't like the look of the seaweed below me." That, and his arms were getting tired. Barrow was a skinny man, but it was still a lot of weight to support.
It took longer than normal to return to land. He couldn't fly anywhere near as quickly as he normally did with a passenger. Pixel and Bit waved at him as he landed. "Legend, I see that you subdued Barrow."
"Oh! That's why the forest wilted!" Bit slammed her fist into her palm, even as grass began to sprout beneath them.
"Yes. If we don't want another to show up, we need to suppress Barrow's power."
"Of course." Pixel moved forward and raised his arm as his suit morphed.
"You fuckers can't do this to me! I'm the king of Lost Garden! When my realm covers the..." Barrow began to choke and cough as if he'd just swallowed a bug.
"You can let him go now." Pixel motioned to the two black cages. "If you step backwards, I can employ a more resilient method."
Legend did, trying to notice exactly what happened. It was no use. One second there was nothing, the next a black cage surrounded Barrow. "Keeping him from growing a forest in the PRT headquarters would be a great help." He flashed his brightest smile at the Tinker. "The Protectorate would pay handsomely for such a cell."
Pixel shook his head. "My tech is transient. Without a constant energy supply from me, it will fade in a matter of minutes. I couldn't in good consciousness sell you something that could possibly vanish at an inopportune time." Legend frowned. "However, I am willing to construct and maintain one to augment the PRTs existing facilities. Just have some precautions ready if it vanishes suddenly."
In the background, Barrow finished coughing and began to scream and swear. Legend ignored him, and held out his hand. Pixel took it and they shook. "I think something can be arranged." His next smile came more easily to his face. Pixel seemed like such a nice guy.
