Salem, Oregon.

Everyone's there now.

And then Eidolon points both hands at it and a beam of light emerges from them and connects him and it. Then, the creature starts glowing faintly, and similar beams of light emerge from it to every other cape in the fight.

This might work to hold him.

Ooooooh, nice -

If this time when he tries scooting people out of the time dilation fields he tries switching places with them -

And he's inside.

The field tints everything outside yellowish-white, and everyone is incredibly slow.

He will fetch his Maitimo. "Okay who do we need -"

" - oh. Nice. Boots is going to be sad if you're three hundred five objective seconds from now, you know -"

"But she'll be proud of me because it was the right strategic decision. Do you have a list of people to make to read stuff and learn about Entities -"

"Yeah, I do."

The fight... cannot really be said to proceed. Less than a thousandth of a second has passed objective.

He has ten thousand names for Epic. Epic can make them dressed and with backpacks with food and water and a change of clothes, to simplify initial distribution of those things, and a computer with some share of the complete written works of the worlds the Entities have affected.

He makes skyscrapers for them. Such pretty skyscrapers. And then he makes them and Maitimo explains and the people can get to reading and -

"Okay, so, necklaces - eidetic memory first, I guess - this is going to be sooo boring -"

"Yeah, it is. A lot of parts of saving the world are really boring. I'm so proud of you and I'll write you letters every my-hour or so."

Nodnod.

Acceleration song.

Now everyone outside the field is effectively frozen in time.

He pulls out his computer and pulls up the instructions to make necklaces.

Uh, Boots, he writes, I teleported into a crazy time dilation field so I might have time to save some worlds, I don't know how long we'll be here but it'll probably be years and might be decades and if we have to wait the field out then it could be centuries and you'll be proud of me for saving the world, right? Sorry.

And he starts.

Before the Maitimo has experienced two full days the time fields wink out. Epic's accelerated perception will be enough for him to notice the sudden space distortion that starts crushing his skyscrapers and turning them to rubble.

He teleports people out -

And the monster teleports them back in.

Stupid evil stupid evil - what if he teleports the monster into the black hole at the center of the Milky Way -

That seems to actually hurt it!

A bit. Its skin starts flaking off, and there's a silver forcefield just under it, and it winks out, and there's skin under that, and another forcefield—

—and then it's gone.

- gone where -

Sydney, Australia.
