The Battle That Ended The Century

People say that war is hell. This looked it.

Buildings and cars and bodies are scattered like broken toys as far as the eye can see, stretching out toward a dirty horizon. Even the clouds seems streaked with mud and blood, and they're taking it out on everyone below with a constant stream of cold, soaking rain.

The sounds of fighting seem to come from all directions, but at this moment, there's no one else in sight.

A breather. The calm before the storm.

And Julian made his way back to the others in time to--

Is that Sofia machine gunning a dinosaur?

...that was kinda hot, actually.

But he didn't have much time to gawk at her, though. What with the Dinosaur advancing despite being shot in the mouth.

"Katara! Kneecap the lizard!"

Sheeana cursed under her breath in Fremen as the scaly giant turned, stung by the German semiauto, cut a tiny bit but easily shaking it off. It bore down on its attacker. She's going to be eaten and all because she had to make the heroic self sacrifice for us.

"Toph! Get her underground!" She called at the earthbender, hoping for a last moment save.

Toph had pretty good reflexes, so when the giant lizard reared its head - possibly to wind up to bite off Sofia's head -

A giant, crumbling rush echoed through the place, and a tube of stone, complete with lid, formed around Sofia. Toph grunted from the exertion. She had to make the earth-tube strong enough that the lizard couldn't bite it, but move gingerly enough that Sofia would drop gently, unharmed into the cavern below.

Take out the kneecap. Good advice. It would probably even weaken the dinosaur enough that the worm would have no problem taking him out. She would have to make sure that none of the moisture got on him though.

Katara gathered the water, and here she formed several circular discs: they were razor sharp, and Master Pakku would have remembered them well, as he narrowly avoided several of them when Katara challenged him the first time. Unlike her teacher, the Tyrannosaurus had limited vision and was still clumsy on his feet: that was going to hurt it all the more. Katara let loose four discs, and they left rather nasty cuts on the dinosaur, who responded with a loud roar that shook the ground a little. This, however, did little to deter Katara, who rushed to the worm and brought the water back, gathering it in her hands. With the dinosaur unfocused as he was, the worm could go to town on him.

Unfortunately, seeing the weakened dinosaur seemed to inspire a new bravery in the allied powers. They started to advance on them again, and Katara clicked her tongue impatiently.

"Sheeana, if you can get rid of the lizard thing, please get to Aang, he's going to need all the help he can get! We're going to have to stay here a bit longer: I don't want to leave these guys yet! I'll be there soon, I promise!"

She ducked a flurry of bullets from a nearby troop who yelled something like, "Sterben schlechte Wasserhexe!"

Katara responded with a BG inspired poke to the chest that sent him sprawling. "I don;t know what you said but it sounded mean!"

Sofia had spent the whole round and was scrambling to reload the gun when that happened.

"What?" At first she thought she was about to be buried alive but then she saw that the dirt wasn't closing in around her.

One thing was clear: she wasn't about to be eaten. At least, not yet.

From right behind Sofia's little tomb there was a rumbling of rocks, and then Toph poked her head out.

"C'mon. There's a tunnel here, we can get you back under cover. Big lizards... you don't want to mess with big lizards."

Whereas above ground it was patently obvious that Toph was blind, here underground she carried on as though this were a completely normal state of affairs.

"We need to get back up and help the others."

Sofia jumped at the unexpected movement. "Thank you." Sofia lowered her gun and followed Toph. "You saved my life."

His prey suddenly vanished, the ancient predator-king stomped back over to the warehouse to reengage with the worm. The doors crashed open. The worm roared but reared back at its wet adversary.

Sheeana was flattened against the interior of the doorway. "Cover your ears for three seconds! After that, keep the water off the Worm and he will take care of the Dinosaur!"

And as soon as Katara did: "Gegenseitig umbringen!" Their attackers were abruptly much more easy to deal with as they fell upon each other in an orgy of bloody fratricide. This probably wouldn't have worked on such a large group of true people, but these were dream things, alive in only the most technical sense.
