Ken managed to teleport up to a seventh story apartment window nearby, popping out of a discarded phone on a nightstand and rushing to a window. Luckily, corporate antivirus was pretty lax in Rainwalk at the moment, what with the massive fish-led uprising and the overall interference in the grid. Nobody seemed to want to be picked up at the moment...except...
Finn ran up to the crab, but the windows were lifted about fifteen feet up by the crab's enormous legs. Finn was tall, but not that tall! Fortunately, Polybius the drone came on down and helpfully offered to carry her. Finn grabbed on and the drone lifted her up, allowing her to climb through one of the church windows.
Inside, she saw pulsating mounds of sickly-looking dark, veiny flesh throughout the inside of the cracked and ruined cathedral now serving as the crab's shell.
Meanwhile, Esen launched herself into the air, slashing down cultists and fishmen with her hookshot before unloading a barrage of strikes on the shell. Sadly, these strikes did nothing!
Sam looked around for an explosive tank, fortunately finding a propane tank in a nearby alley. How opportune!
Theraea zoomed in and Maria surfed in, both closing in on Lady Light's location. Theraea dodged a clawstrike from the crab before applying her telekinesis to the claw, slowly pulling it apart! Maria similarly began slashing and stabbing at the claw, giving Lady Light enough leverage to pull her arms down and shove the claw apart herself. Unfortunately, in this moment of freedom the claw thrashed its claw around, knocking Maria off her surfboard and Theraea off through the air. Fortunately, Maria was goddess of water and slowed her descent with water before Lady Light caught her (and her surfboard) out of the air. Theraea managed to steady herself with her wings.
Maria was placed down on the ground with a quiet "thankyousorry" and her surfboard before Lady Light took back off to continue the fight. She also flashed a thumbs up to Theraea as she did so.
Jim continued slicing at the legs, accomplishing nothing. The Demon ceased her lightning assault, seeing how ineffective it was, and began looking for alternative weak points. Nocturne and La Chat kept battling the cultists and fishmen, trying to keep them from attacking the heroes.
Finally, the crab was pissed. It started swinging its many claws around, smashing down nearby buildings and sending smoke and dust into the air. Rubble and debris began to fly down as it surged around the square, devouring everything in its path.
