"Oh the heroes have to defend the innocent sick children they're keeping us busy isn't that obvious? And it's working!" Leap and slashes of color and explosions all around her but the muscle freak - won't - go - down!

Her comrade manages to wrap her arms around its neck. Slowly but surely, frost works its way over his body as she hangs on for dear life.

The muscled monster rapidly weakens as the ice takes hold.

"Nice!" No chance to wait, though. With Sól no longer hitting the other enemies some of them are banging on the wooden boards covering the hospital's first floor windows.

Crash spreads her arms, clenches her fists, takes a deep breath, and charges in screaming, not caring about the variety of attacks the creatures are hitting back with.

"Wait for me!" Before she wades into the melee with Crash, she takes a moment to shatter the now frozen behemoth.

Crash is taking quite a lot of hits - punches, stabs, puffs of fire, whatever, but simply ignoring most of them in favor of disrupting as many of the monsters as possible with her trademark blasts of telekinetic force, screaming wordlessly.

They're interrupted by a beep from the communication devices strapped to their wrists. 

"You guys pulling your weight?" he asks, deliberately overly jovially. 

"Either shut up or get down here and help me smash stupid cyborg monsters, shrieky boy! We! Are! Busy!"

"Well, I was going to tell you we found the one behind all this, but if you're busy..."

"Oh, so we can stop all these monsters? Great..." She trails off. The remaining creatures have broken off their attack and are all running down the street. "I think they know you found the boss. The hospital's safe now. We'll follow them!"

"See ya there, sis," 

He clicks off.

"Say, Sol, think we can ste- borrow a car or would it be faster to just fly after them?"

She's already in the air. "Cars are for humans!"

Well now she has to prove Sol wrong!

She gets into the nearest car and tells it, "Follow her! Hero override!"

"...Oh, this is an old car, forget it."

She clambers out and starts flying after her teammate.

"Like you were going to be able to reach the pedals."

"I thought it was a new car! One that would drive for me!"

"Lazy bones!"

She heads towards the World Trade Centre's south tower. Seems there's a commotion going on top of the roof.

Their teammates are slowly circling a retro-futuristic cyborg, who's holding a Big Red Button at the ready.

"Surrender, Mondasian!"

"WE....only....SEeek to....Improve your....RACE!" the creature's sing songs, it's mouth gaping open as it talks. 

Grande is letting Mani do the banter, she's trying to actually get around behind him while avoiding the monsters...

And Sól is trying to sideswipe the lead cyborg off the roof.

....Only for it to grab her by the scruff of her neck. "SEEE....WHat the...ImpulSIVENESS of your rAce BRINGS YOU!"

Crash will charge with a punch ready and defend her friend! "Hey, look at me! I'm the tank!"

The creature spits a grey metallic goo at her, which her skin seems to absorb. 

"Do...NOT fret....HUman child, your assmiliation will COmmence SOOn."

"Gyaaah ew ew ew gross aah!"

Grande takes advantage of the distraction Crash's sudden destructive tantrum poses, and darts in to steal the Big Red Button.
