PROFESSOR VENGEANCE

After a while, Vengeance gets the hang of the controls enough to be able to operate the movements of the great floating castle. It seems unwieldy to begin with but after a few moments he gets the idea and with a sudden movement the castle is away accompanied by the sound of snapping vines and branches as the pillar of rock lifts into the air and moves outwards. It soon picks up speed and as Vengeance looks at the screens which show the view outside, he sees that the great fortress is quickly approaching the edge of Melded, then over the city itself. It seems to end up suspended in the air near to some kind of military looking base, and the engines thrum softly.

AURELIA AND MARISA

The vast fortress also sails over the Capella singers and showers both them and the metapenguin security team with soil and bits of loose root, causing them to splutter and stop singing to shield their faces from debris. A miniature blue mammoth, which floats lazily inside a bubble of energy (which had had a very impressive baritone) voice shouts out "Doomforall has returned! He shall save us all! We are saved!"

TWITCH
The Metapenguin stares out the window in disbelief - and following her line of sight, Twitch sees why - what is essentially a small mountain, encrusted in vines, and topped by a castle of sorts has suddenly begun hovering nearby - pretty much directly over the Old World Society. The Penguin looks slightly freaked out by this, talks into her walkie talkie, extracts what looks bizarrely like a mortar that fires little robotic armadillos and then waddles off outside, presumably to try and deal with this colossal apparition.

Twitch is left outside the control room, now only housing the flimsy Paper Golem which is only paying attention to the keyboard.

EUDIAL AND LELAND

Suddenly the Alakazam from earlier teleports in in front of the two.

"Are you two trying to get killed or just incredibly stupid - you just murdered a psychic in the middle of a psychic base - they'll be here in moments - I'll take you to your friend".

With that, the three of themselves feel a sudden blur leavign them feeling sick to the stomach, and find themselves in the room containing the vast tank of the Sucker, and Cleo and the Brain of Kull.
