Topic: Brockton Bay Endbringer Attack

So I'm sure everyone knows by now Leviathan hit Brockton Bay yesterday and, considering the city hasn't sunk, the defense was a success. What's weird though is that there hasn't been any real news about how everything went down. Usually we would have had a few recordings or something by now, the PRT hasn't been shy in talking about these attacks before, so something must have changed for them to be radio silent except their "We won" speech.
Even my usual contacts don't know much more than that. So, I'll list off the facts and we'll see if we can figure it out from there.
1) The defense was a success and Leviathan was driven off.
2) Somehow, there were no deaths. This is the part that really confuses me because they'd usually be happy to explain how that happened.
3) There was less damage then a normal attack.
4) The city seems to be completely back to normal now, even with the minimal damage.
I don't really know what's been going on there, but if it has something to do with some new Capes, I can't see it not being big news. Anyone have any info they can share?

So you guys really haven't heard of the Espada? They're pretty much all we've been talking about for weeks here in the Bay.

Their wiki page is pretty sparse. Are you sure they're responsible for this? And if they are, that's pretty huge.

Replied on May 16, 2011:
Oh, it's definitely because of them. They've been involved in a lot of big events since they showed up. Took out the E88 basically by themselves a few weeks ago. Their original three members took out Lung their first night out. They're nothing to scoff at.

Yeah, looking into it, they've been involved in pretty much every major problem in Brockton Bay since their debut. The ABB, The Empire, A bank robbery, they've been busy. If that's the case I could see them being major players in this.

Oh, having seen the Espada in action, I fully believe they're the reason things turned out so well. They've been causing an uproar at base for a while. Since their debut, in fact. The Director isn't exactly happy they aren't Wards. I, however, am very glad we don't have to deal with them.

That's mean. We're not that bad. Well, Rhapsody is. The rest of us are alright.

If you're really Nihilus can you give us some info on what happened? The PRT is being really stingy with info.

I'm the real one.
VioletRadiantBookworm
Sure.
Things only went so smooth because of my and Sacrosancts powers. One of my powers let me block out all the rain and water, so Leviathan could only work with what he could pull from the pipes in the buildings. It really pissed him off because he was out for blood for basically the entire fight. Sacrosanct was able to keep people from dying, which is why there weren't any casualties. Gorgon Izuna dropped Leviathan at one point too then we blasted him in the core so hard he started smoking and ran away.

Holy shit. That's actually insane! He started smoking? Like the water evaporated from the blast?

Wait, one of your powers? Are you a grab bag or something?

Lol, Leviathan got Izuna dropped! That's the best! Is Gorgon a new member? I can't see her page. Who are all your members?

What's an Izuna Drop?
► AncientCompass

It's a type of flyiing suplex. Knock the enemy into the air, grab them from behind, spin, slam them head first into the ground.
► Celestial
Replied on May 16, 2011:
AncientCompass
Then why not say that? It's just a suplex.
► Davivid
Replied on May 16, 2011:

Heresy. The Izuna Drop is not just another suplex. It's the ninja staple in games. To pull something like that off in real life, especially on Leviathan, is godlike. Praise Gorgon, Queen of the Izune Drop.

Can we get back to the topic of the thread? Do you have any more info for us, Nihulus? Anyone who can back you up here?
► UnearthlyExistence
Replied on May 16, 2011:
Yeah, I'm gonna need some more details. What happened with Leviathan smoking? Do you know what the deal with that was?

If that's really an Espada member, more info would definitely be appreciated.

I probably shouldn't be posting here but I can back up what Nihilus is saying. Battery and I spent most of our time trying to help other people get to safety after things really kicked off. She put up a field that blocked out the rain and waves and that made the fight that much easier. Sacrosanct would point her guns at dead or downed Capes and they'd just be up like nothing happened. I'm not trying to discount everyone who helped, but the Espada by far helped the most. Shame they don't want to join the Wards. They'd do a lot of good.

Replied on May 16, 2011:
Well if Assault is here to confirm it, I can't exactly be skeptical anymore.

Something like that.
King of Destruction
Sacrosanct says it's fine, so all our core members are Sacrosanct as leader, Me, Samael, Wraith, Rhapsody, and Gorgon. Auxilary members are Purity, Grue, Bitch, Squealer, and Canary. No point in hiding that since people already saw us with them, Sacrosanct says. We're basically trying to give them a chance to not be villains. Purity especially has turned it around.
Davivid
Rhapsody said the same thing. You'd probably get along with him.
ShiningVision
I think the smoke was his skin since it shined in sunlight. We hit him so hard he started disolving or something. We don't know if he's dead and won't for a while, but at least we know where and how to hit him if he shows up again.
There's not much more info to give than that. Everyone made it out alright and the city is in perfect shape because of Sacrosanct. We're basically just going to be starting on our other projects, which are clearing out the Boat Graveyard and Sacrosanct starting a homeless shelter.
Assault
Thanks for the back up. Sorry, but there's a bit too much red tape involved with joining the Wards.
► ViolentCalm
Replied on May 16, 2011:
I'm sorry, but what the fuck, Nihilus? You dropped a bit too much info in that post to wrap my head around. You let villains join to help them not be villains and you have members doing humanitarian work?

Honestly there are probably more confusing things going on in the world than this.
► Assault (Verified Cape) (Protectorate ENE)

I didn't know about Squealer, but I did see them with Grue and Purity at the pre-fight meeting. Canary was kind of a given considering they broke her out of PRT transport a few weeks ago.
► QuadSword (Verified PRT Agent)

And now you see why we have them classified as "Vigilante" instead of "Villain". We're supposed to go after the former the same as the latter, but not only are the Espada a bit too strong for that, they also do genuinely help the city.
It's really kind of a headache.
