"¡Mami!" Victor cried.
"Holy shit!" Nico cursed.
Molly screamed.
"Oh, fuck." Trini gasped.
"Oh my, God!" Karolina shouted.
"Only one word befits such an opponent." Xavin commented. "Outstanding."
Victor couldn't control what was going on, and was clearly heading towards the beast's head.
"No, opposite of outstanding!" Victor denied. "We fight C-list jewel thieves in bad guy costumes, not…not city eaters!"
The Leapfrog bounced off the monster's head and flew forward.
"The Leapfrog's cloak is on the fritz again, and I don't know how to sweet-talk it back online like Chase used to." Victor turned to Nico. "What do I do!"
"What do you think, Victor?" Nico shouted. "Leave this to the Avengers! Or the Fantastic Four! Hell, if it eats the X-Men, it'll be doing us a favor!"
"We can't retreat!" Xavin disagreed.
"Xavin's kind of right, Nico. This thing is wrecking every building built in the last twenty years!" Karolina added.
"Besides, New York is all the way across the country, and we're pretty much the only Capes in the area with powers. Even those Excelsior asshats haven't shown their faces since-."
"Oh noes!" Molly shouted over Trini as she smooched up against the window. "Dogzilla is following us!"
"Chill, Molly! He's big but he's slow." Victor ordered. "His arms might be long, but we're way out of his-."
"He's got lasers!" Trini screamed just as the beast shot off and slammed into the back of the Frogger.
"Hang on! We're going down!" Nico ordered.
"You think!" Karolina gripped on to her seat.
"God, I hope we land safely…Iwanttolive." Trini closed her eyes tightly as a teat slipped out. Suddenly, the Frogger stopped speeding towards its crash; and gently floating until it landed safely on the ground.
Victor blinked. "What just happened?"
"I...I think I…saved everyone?" Trini trembled. "I…don't know how."
"Well, we're gonna have to figure it out later. Right now, we gotta abandon ship before Too Tall walks this was and flattens us." Nico ordered.
"We can't let the Leapfrog get smooshed, Nico!" Molly raced towards their leader. "He's my friend!"
"It's not a he, Molly! It's just a machine!" Nico called back.
"Am I just a machine?" Victor stopped running.
"Of course not." Trini answered.
"You know what I mean!" Nico turned back to face him.
"Look, Molly's right, Nico! Froggie is our only ride! We lose it, we're gonna have to start taking public transportation!" Trini snapped.
"Fine," Nico caved in, "then we have to alter Bigfoot's warpath while one of us gets our boat up and running again."
"Karolina and I will distract the creature while you two help Victor repair your craft." Xavin ordered.
"Actually, Xavin, Nico is our leader. She calls the shots." Karolina agreed.
"Um, right…" Nico nodded. "Why don't you two give us some air cover while the rest of us pit-crew our ride back together?"
"Yes, Breathtaking strategy." Xavin sarcastically commented as he flew off with Karolina.
The two only stayed in the air for about fifteen seconds before Xavin was punched to the side.
Trini sneered. "Of course."
"Whoopsie." Molly panned upward.
"Things are getting dicey up there, Nic." Victor commented. "Can't you use a shrinking spell to knock that guy down a few thousand pegs?"
"I already used my reduction incantation on Mole Man when he attacked Silverlake a few months ago." Nico answered.
"Mole Man!" Trini didn't look back. "The guy's four feet tall!"
Nico narrowed her eyes. "I thought it'd be ironic." She growled through gritted teeth. "Trini, why don't you and Victor go fix the damn ship."
"Fabulous!" Trini threw her hands up in the air and stomped towards the Frogger with Victor.
"And you have to be fast!" Nico added.
"I liked it better when she was telling me to go slow." Victor mumbled.
Trini's mouth dropped. "Why would you gross me out like that?"
"What did you say?" Nico gripped her staff.
"Nothing." Victor replied quickly. "Molly, can you jack up the other side of the 'Frog while I Jerry-rig its hindquarters back together?"
Trini stopped when she felt Molly further from the group. She turned around. "Molly…?"
Just as they turned around; the monster's foot was about to slam onto Molly.
"No!" Nico cried.
Molly shoved her arms up and held the foot from flattening her. "Gross!" She stuck her tongue out. "This guy's foot smells like feet!"
"Nisantikrn!" The beast announced.
"Hold on, Molly!" Victor left the Frogger to aid Molly.
"I'm trying!" Molly moaned. "But I'm getting…super…sleepy…"
"I'm on it!" Nico pulled her arm out to stop Victor. "Caffine Injection!"
"Heh." Molly smiled. "It's like my heart is having a pizza party!" She then shoved the foot off of her as if it was absolutely nothing. "YAHHHOOOOOOOOO!"
The purple beast collapsed backwards into another building; stumbling until he actually cascaded to the floor. Dust and debris was flung past them in the result.
"Whoa…" Nico whispered.
"It's like they say." Victor started. "The Bigger they are, the more catastrophically irreversible the property damage is."
"You can say that again." Trini mumbled. "Are you okay, Molly?"
"Yeah, but why does it feel like my brain is shaking?" Molly began to shake herself.
"We have to roll, guys." Karolina warned. "The thing's down, but it's long way from out."
"Well, Victor and I were able to fix it enough that it could survive one or two jumps." Trini answered as the group raced into the 'Frogger.
"We headed back to the Hostel?" Victor allowed the girls to get one first.
"Not ye, Vic. Xavin-despite her propensity for getting knocked out in the first round-was right. We can't retreat." Nico replied. "The way the Staff of One wiggles when that thing gets close, I'm worried our monster might be another parting gift from my parents. We have a responsibility to stop it before anyone else gets hurt." She looked to the side. "We follow the trail of destruction…all the way back to whatever gave birth to it."
In the Leapfrog
Trini took a deep breath before he body began to tremble even more.
"Trini?" Karolina placed a hand on her knee. "Are you…okay?"
"I don't know…I-I…something's wrong."
"With what?"
"It's not me…The…The Gibborim."
