Anonymous remained his eyes focus on the dragon as it swoop down toward the ground. From its rambling thought, he could tell its intention to kill supers are very high, possible to remove them from interfering with its mission. Anonymous held onto his fedora as the blast from the shock wave blew dirt and debris all around the area. Yet he remain still, calm and collective of the situation.
In fact, he let out an eerie gleeful smile in spite of the situation. It’s almost as if he was waiting for the creature to give him a reason to hurt it, bad. If it thinks the wound it have on it were painful now, Anonymous can’t wait to mess up all of its thought. He, of all people, would understand of how anger could mess up one’s rational thought.
Using the rage that this dragon is obviously having right now, Anonymous targeted its adrenal gland, releasing more of its adrenaline coursing through the creature’s body. The more adrenaline it has, the harder for the dragon to plan out, predict, or even rationally decided on a best strategy. If he knew the extend of Unhallow’s power, it would still be working despite them being unconscious, so he need to amplify the dragon’s experience with such pain in the brain, making it feel as though its head is going to explode or its brain turning to jelly.
With all the other supers’ onslaught on it, the dragon is now feel the pain that they gave to be a lot worse than it would think. If his experience with uncontrollable power like Bloodbath and Unhallow could taught him something, it that when their heart-rate increase and their adrenaline escalate to a dangerous level, their body will get deteriorate, fatigue, and would become unable to think clearly. Since the creature had fighting with them all this time, it is bound to get tire soon, and being fatigue should be such a heavy burden for it to bear.

As Dullahan's humanoid body continued to overheat, he input an emergency command. Its arms and legs suddenly burst off, leaivng only the headless torso. A larger rocket flared to life on the torso's underside, propelling Dullahan into the air and hopefully out of the way of the dragon's initial charge.
He was down to his last-resort vehicle here, one he had never really been able to test, but he didn't have much choice in the matter. Fortunately, it was well-armed.
Dullahan piloted himself in rapid loops, spinning around the dragon and firing twin machineguns as he went. His brain was cybernetically connected to the controls, performing maneuvers far beyond what any mere human pilot could dream of, and every bullet was aimed precisely at the opening that had been torn in the dragon's belly.

Up until this point, the entirety of the dragon's attacks against the supers had been incidental, like swatting at flies on the way to perform some infinitely more important task. Now that they had proven themselves worthy of its attention, the supers were subjected to the full force of the dragon's power.
The house thrown by Titan burst apart as it hit the dragon's head, throwing up a cloud of debris and dust. But the dragon didn't emerge from the cloud into the well-braced Titan - and just as the dust cleared enough to show an enormous hole in the ground, the dragon burst up from a different point, slamming Passion up into the air, knocking the wind out of him and leaving him in a cloud of deadly smoke from the impact of the ruined dorsal fin.
Before Passion had even reached the height of his arc, the dragon was sliding sideways through the air, tendrils trailing along the rooftops. They did wrap around the decoys Sanduleak left for them, but the tendrils were so many that they had no trouble grabbing other targets as well. By the time the dragon flew up again, those tendrils had caught dozens of small cats, one big one, and a dimly-visible human figure that had been hiding among them. Among the tendrils, any gases subject to the power of the dragon's blood had all been burnt up, leaving the fleshy mass searing hot and suffocating those trapped within it.
Meanwhile, Lobisomem charged in and leaped from the dragon's blind spot, but the larger beast hardly seemed to care. The tendrils hanging from the remains of its tail stabbed outward, immediately entangling Lobisomem and moving them next to the other captured super among the tendrils. The same draining power that Blue Jay had felt from the tail sapped their power and prevented them from escaping. Although Bloodbath lunged forward to try to free them, the draining power coming from that part of the body seemed to counter his own, and the dragon casually slapped him away with its stump of a tail while it turned to its remaining targets.
The strange, bulbous organ hanging out of the dragon's body pulsated, and suddenly a flurry of distortions streamed out, too fast for Purity's chains to bind, too fast even for Toko's magic bullet to reach it in time. The distortions' appearance was similar to that of the ones that had crippled Titan. They flew directly toward Sanduleak, and instead of carving pieces away like they had on the larger Titan, their effect on the smaller super was different. He suddenly disappeared and reappeared 20 feet in the air, half his body misaligned by less than a millimeter where his anatomy had been caught by the edge of a distortion, and then fell back toward the ground, his body and power suddenly unreceptive to his commands as his nerves along the misalignment no longer matched up.
As more attacks continued to land on the dragon, it only intensified its assault, no longer bothering to protect its ability to fight in the future. Aurora's materialized objects pinned some of its tendrils in place, and the dragon simply tore free of them, leaving bits of itself under the rocks and rubble. The tendrils trailing behind the best, less mobile but thicker and hardier, simply tore through Giza's attempts to snare them. The dragon was similarly careless about its proximity to Unhallow, apparently unconcerned with what her undirected power could do to it over the course of its fast-paced attack, and it didn't pay any mind to Arcanum's slime spreading out below.
A second sonic boom erupted from the monster as it abruptly shifted to the right, slamming through Double Dealer's attack and through the building behind them, sending a scattering of high-velocity debris as shrapnel toward everyone in the vicinity. Then, more slowly and deliberately, it shifted to the left, dipping just below ground level to push up a miniature mountain range of pavement and earth, virtually burying Anonymous and the other supers on that side as well, overwhelming even the quantity of explosives that Azoth was capable of producing to defend them.
Then it was gone again, a blur streaking toward another cluster of supers. It turned sideways, and Limen just barely had time to get her rocket in the air before its back smashed through the area she had been taking cover. The trailing tendrils ate the rocket's explosion without much effect, and then they looked poised to engulf a group of supers with Blue Jay at the forefront.
However, Blue Jay easily sped through, toward the dragon's insides, the first strikes of his blade severing many of the tendrils and sparing the other supers the worst of their affects. The other speedy heroes streamed in to follow.
Being inside the dragon was like entering a kaleidoscope made of fire and black blood. Countless fleshy parts remained inside, pulsating and shifting around. Blue Jay's sword, Canary's thrown devices, Geata's projectiles, Kaz's knives, Dullahan's bullets, Gilgamesh's arrows, and Timezone's bare hands all found soft targets among the organs the dragon had left inside itself. But the dragon's quick movements made it exceedingly difficult to target the inside from the outside, which meant that Hooded Siren's screams mostly hit the area around the opening. Those who entered the dragon personally found that the constantly shifting space made it easy to be taken off-guard by crushing internal movements and sprays of the dragon's deadly blood. Even with Stunt Double jostling with the other supers inside and swapping them out of danger as necessary, it wasn't an easy place to fight.
Meanwhile, those who lacked the agility to fight the dragon from the inside were able to deal some considerable damage from without. The open wound that was the tail made a fine target for Awenydd's sound waves, while the blades wielded by Balance and Nemesis left deep cuts on the strange organ that had attacked Sanduleak. A scattering of explosions ran across the dragon's left side as HaLOS's missiles made contact, and while they didn't break through the thick skin, they did force the dragon to slide downward in order to take cover.
Anonymous would be surprised at the lack of anger detected in the dragon's mind. If anything, its emotional response to the fight thus far was... sadness. And the closer Anonymous got to look at its mind, the stranger the disconnect between the dragon's thoughts and actions seemed to be, as though many of its movements were partially subconscious. But even so, it didn't seem to be able to defend well against the mental attack, and its movements began to slow slightly. It loosed another silent roar, once again catching Giza and those around him in the center of the effect, but it might have been just a bit weaker than before.
Then, the supers inside the dragon saw its remaining organs in there pulse as another large-scale power emerged. Back outside, it started as a gradual pulling toward the shoreline, sending rocks and rubble tumbling along the ground. Then it grew stronger, and then even stronger, until gravity was pulling everything to the side, far stronger than it should have been. Buildings leaned to the side and then tore apart, falling horizontally. For the supers close to the dragon, their internal sense of balance would indicate that "down" was toward the moonlit horizon. Dullahan's rocket-propelled body slammed into the side of a building as the sudden change in gravity confused its sensors. The other supers would have to cling to the torn streets, stand atop the sides of intact wallls, or else fall into the sky itself. Uprooted buildings tumbled from east to west while the dragon weaved its way between them, positioning itself upstream from the supers who hadn't yet gotten inside it.
The dragon was certainly dying. The only question left was whether it would do so faster than the supers who were attacking it.

Siren could tell that her screams weren't helping all that much. On top of it, supers were falling. And they were falling fast. She watched in horror as one was poofed into the air twenty feet up. For a moment the world stopped as they floated there. Then they began falling. Her feet moved on their own as she ran to catch them. She jumped up and caught the unknown masked person in her arms. Landing she skidded a bit before falling to her knees. Strength was never her strong point but that didn't matter right now. She gently laid the masked person down.
"Stay down, you can't handle another hit like that."
She took a deep breath before turning back to the beast. She needed to hit him and hit him hard. On top of it she couldn't let this super be hurt again. Seeing the head of the beast she released another scream. This thing needed to be torn in the worst way possible.

It wasn't enough. He continued to fire until the quiver was empty, but the damn thing was still up. And now he was unarmed again. Useless thing. He hated relying on a weapon. Tossing it to the side he began to look around for another avenue of attack now that the beast had gotten closer only to be rocked with another wave of weakness. His vision flickering out as he stumbled back trying desperately to hold on to his strength. He could feel his control over his body slipping though the Qi pumping through his body growing weaker and dimming out.
His eyes had lost all of their light and his skin was ashen in color from the blood loss. His features had long since begun to turn hollow and sunken as he continued to be eaten from the inside. The balance battle was lost however when the Dragon unleashed another sonic boom sending Alex to the ground again.
He could feel his light continue to fade as his breathing became weaker and weaker. His fingers twitched as he tried to remember how to will his body to move. His vision was almost entirely gone. A lot of the finer details were blurred. There was the sensation of light, and big shapes however. Even in this state there was no mistaking the Dragon. He felt his body sliding across the ground as gravity shifted. With the Dragon trying to maneuver away, he couldn't. He couldn't allow that. He'd come to far to stop this close to the end. He pushed almost everything he had into moving again. This would have been a good time to use the forbidden technique... his trump card. But he was to far gone for that now. This had to be his last gambit.
The muscles that hadn't already been consumed bulged as he put every bit of his Qi into them that he could muster. His hand gripping onto the side of the building he was on as it tore and ripped off. Tumbling toward the horizon. This was it, he'd push off the building down to one of the cars falling with the new law of gravity before springing with all his might upwards. Off what large chunks of debris he could find. Smaller bits of debris pelted him, unable to be picked out by his fading vision. Blood started to run from his nose, eyes, and ears as the dissolving started work on his most vital organ. He couldn't think though, with the tendrils he knew to be there he knew that if he hesitated he'd be caught up. The safest way through would be right through the middle. In the line of fire of everything though. One step up and he was toast. He just had to act! One jump then the next then the next until he could get inside and punch it, rip it, hit it as fast as he could, as much as he could while he had the strength to do so.

How? How was any of this even real? Canary's gaze darted around at the various supers as destruction continued to rain down on beast, building, and super alike. One even fell from the sky after appearing out of nowhere, and she knew the super in question wasn't capable of that. At least, she didn't think so. But he was caught by another, laid to rest at a safe distance, if there was such a thing.
How was she supposed to fight against that? She wasn't one of them. She was just Canary, a bit battered and still in pain, but not anywhere near how others seemed to be, including her friend from earlier. Her gaze goes to Alex as he leaps towards the dragon's insides and suppresses a shudder. He had to make it, even if he looked like hell warmed over and left out for a few days.
Mercifully, her device seemed to do some damage this time, momentarily lifting her thoughts away from the dire situation and back onto the task at hand. She didn't even want to think about the destruction of the slums behind her. If she looked, if she stopped, she would have to think.
She couldn't handle that train of thought right now. And so, the inventor loosed another attack at the sky-whale with a frustrated shout.

Lobisomem snapped back into their own body as the organ tendrils actually wrapped around them, pulling them away from their initial attack point. They struggled to free themselves, trying to bite down on the restraining things. All this rewarded them with was a horrible burning sensation on their tongue and chest, which already hurt lie hell. They released it as fast as possible, whimpering as they felt some fangs crumble and fall out, it would grow back, but Lobisomem didn't know that.
They cast a glance around, pain making their vision red. More creatures were trapped with them, yowling and chocking cats and one humanoid form. They gasped in a breath, the heat blackening their skin and scorching their fur made it way too hard to breath, and gave a hopefully encouraging yelp to the cats and their master. They couldn't try to free them, they were feeling weaker every second.
Immediately after, they were jerked around as the dragon moved, barely able to breath before it stopped. Somehow, they knew where the dragon would move next and craned their head toward anyone in danger, "Watch out!" They howled toward any possible people.

Bloodbath grunted as he was thrown away, evolving into a harsh scream as his twisted arm jostled under his weight, filling his mind with dizzying white.
He witnessed the strikes against the dragon moments before gravity shifted toward the sky. He fell for a few seconds before his blood billowed around him in a shield, moving to catch anyone else who couldn't fly near him. He twitched his arm back into a correct shape, even if get knew it would get twisted again.
The strain on his mind was enormous, the blood connected to the battered street with trembling strands, it wouldn't hold for long. He raised his uninjured arm, skin paling even further as more blood poured out of him into a spear.
It arched toward the pulsating organ, maybe if it bled enough, he would have more dragon blood in him!

Balance rolled her tense shoulders and looked around. The area was in shambles. She could see other supers were failing at their duties. Some were exhausted, orthers were wounded. And others still were absolutely terrified. This dragon was bringing more to the table than she thought it would. A smirk crossed her face. Despite the death and the loss of universal harmony she was enjoying herself. She was woundless due to her healing abilities and could keep fighting for awhile. The beastie however was about to die. She pointed her sword at it, the smirk still clear on her face. She didn't care if it was going to keep fighting. It would fall, by her hands if the city's defenders failed to do anything. All she needed was a few more good hits.
The dark haired girl began walking. They were slow, calculated steps. Each one designed to intimidate. This girl was still unafraid of this beast. SO many others were beginning to fear the end but she was not one of them. Reaching the strange organ, she slashed at it again. Over and over and over....

Sanduleak watched each tentacle replacing each illusion for each one it dispelled before he felt...something. Just a wave of nausea and unease flooded him before that, rippling through him before it finally hit him. First was the rush of air as he began falling, then soul crushing pain. His body felt as if it had hit critical condition, blood pooled behind his right eye and the half of his body that wasn't number felt like it was going to explode. Blood pounded and veins were ruptured at that moment, he knew even in the mind numbing pain that it was a miracle for him to live...well that miracle wouldn't last long if he hit the ground which was suspiciously taking a while to hit him. Oh a super was carrying him now, he couldn't but crack a grin as blood dripped from the side of his mouth. He could barely make her out through his blurry eyed vision, but he was sure he didn't know her...the very least she wasn't the guardian angel he knew.
"Thanks...but can't...we need every person we can ERg get..."
He took a moment to just lie on the ground, he couldn't force his body to move anymore with his costume, it was too much the pain was going to make him black out. Plus any time spent curled up and with closed eyes was time better spent helping. He forced his right eye open and stared out at the battle field. That organ would have to wait, at the very least he couldn't let people get swung around by those damn tendrils. He let the light go and quickly the tendrils were being surrounded and seperated with planes of light, each meant to provide cover and annoy them. Afterwards though he had to cover up blood from the sudden concentration and lack of medical attention, in too much pain to care for the crimson stains coating the inside of his mask. Taking the Siren's advice in spite of his protest he rolled onto his back to absorb and hopefully not be noticed by that damned thing.

Aurora had been in a lot of fights and destructive confrontations, but this was something else entirely. It was getting difficult to watch. Of course, she wouldn't avert her eyes at all. The sacrifice of every person here had to be acknowledged and remembered, and trying to pretend that none of this was happening, or that it wasn't so bad, just because it was difficult to watch. What was really irritating was how little she could do about it. Her power wasn't particular suited to this fight in general, but it was even less suited to helping injured people. There might be something she could do given enough time, but with the fight going on that would just be foolish, and there were people with powers that were more suited to that task. It was rare that she felt this powerless. It was an unpleasant sensation, but it was a feeling that always drove her to do more to prevent it from happening again.
That couldn't happen now though. Right now she had to settle with what she could do, and her assault was doing something at least. It had so many tendrils that it would be difficult to take out all of them, but if she could take out enough, or at least slow it down even a little bit, she was sure the remaining fighters would be able to take it down with how well they appeared to be doing so far.

Unhallow continued to sleep soundly, their breathing still weak and shallow as though their own body was crushing their lungs. Their power continued to touch everything around them, as it always did. The weaker, squishier parts of the dragon would start feeling the effects. Normally this would be when humans started to feel the effects of blood loss and having thousands of their muscle cells die, but they really didn't understand this thing's body at all. Weaker organs, such as eyes, would also find it more difficult to function.

She had to get out of there.
Limen felt that before the dragon had crashed into the ground, but even as she tried to get up, get out of the way, the dragon was too large and too fast. The concrete to her left was torn up like sod ripped from the ground. Before she was even able to yell, she’s been caught up in the tide of rubble. All she could do was try to curl into a ball and wait for it to pass.
When the wreckage finally settled, Limen dared to release her legs from her chest and open her eyes. Only, half of her face was wet. The left side of her face stung, as did a gash on her upper left arm. Limen pushed the piece of rubble off her side and pulled herself to her knees, thanking the friendly power giving god she hadn’t been buried. She made a quick injury check. Lower left leg was bruised, right hip would look like a watermelon in the morning. Back was ready to cash in on its overtime hours and take a vacation to Hawaii. Her right shoulder ached and her already injured lungs were not happy about breathing in more dust. The cut on her arm was fairly deep. The guilty culprit, a twisted piece of metal, sat stuck in the ground not far beside her shoulder, metallic surface red with her blood. Her face was covered in blood - just a cut to the forehead, but her left eye was burning. She kept it closed.
She worked quickly. Sitting cross-legged, she pulled from her sweatshirt pocket her small first aid kit. It was one of the few things she’d grabbed from her bike. She didn’t flinch as she quickly wiped clean the cut on her arm and the blood from her face. Her arm was quickly bandaged, and an adhesive pad stuck to the decently sized knock above her left eye. Her eye itself would have to be dealt with later. Waste was discarded on the ground.
Limen got to her feet, the last couple bits of shrapnel falling off her head and back, and surveyed what had happened. Gilgamesh was gone. He’d run into the belly of the thing like an idiot. She just hoped he’d be able to kill it before it killed him; it was the only way to win such a fight if one didn’t choose to run. If he’d lived this long with that kind of level of self preservation, he had to be alright. He’d better be. She was not going to be picking up his corpse.
Sanduleak had taken the brunt of one of the dragon’s attacks. She’d only caught a glimpse of her ally falling from the sky as she’d fired off her gun, and had hoped it was just some part of one of his abilities. Her heart sank as her initial impression was proven correct. He was laying on the ground.
She sprinted to him. She felt light without the weight of her large gun, heavy because of the beatings she had taken, but thankfully adrenaline was there to carry her to her friend’s side. One other super was there. Limen would trust her to guard them while she did what she could for Sanduleak.
Limen crouched down beside him and began searching for the injuries. “Hey Sandy, hang in there. It’s almost dead.” His wounds were internal. Limen clicked her tongue.
She looked around for the lightest piece of shrapnel near them. Swinging up to her feet, she jogged away and came back a moment later, dragging a ripped off bottom 1/6th-ish of a mattress and a couple of cloth chunks that were probably once the same blanket. Careful of his injuries, Limen lifted his feet onto the edge of the mattress and arranged the semi-blankets over his chest. Feet elevated, body kept warm… For a moment, Limen’s eyebrows knitted together. There was nothing else she could do for him.
Her features became expressionless. “Sit tight, Sandy. We’ll get you a healer soon. Just hold out until then, yeah? And don’t try anything crazy like getting up. You’ve already met your insanity quota with that skydive.”

The rain of debris that was unleashed on them was another sign of the relentless battle climbing towards its peak. Awenydd tried to stay out of range, but range didn't exist at this point. She could feel the blood flow more freely from her arms and along her torso, her body stinging from the roars of the beast. Her voice was beginning to burn from the constant singing; she paused to take a breath and coughed as the dust from the debris agitated the tender tissue. Covering her mouth only left a streak of blood across her face, smeared as she wiped it away. Her knees locked to brace herself as the ground shook, further jarred as she regained her balance.
And then, somehow, the world went sideways. The buildings followed suit and so were some of the supers who fought at close range. Was it retreating, or another trap?
This time, Aweyndd's singing was closer to screaming as she tried to follow after at a distance. She needed to be heard, and with a dragon on the move, that was going to be difficult. She'd have to make up for it some other way.
