[Open] Sunday Strolls

Who: A Mountain, Campus and You.
What: Watch your heads, cause someone's not watching their steps. There's destruction afoot.
When: October 4th.
Where: All across campus.

As far as Sundays went, this one was pretty typical, despite the lingering blood moon that persisted well into the morning. If you disregarded that, you could certainly call it lovely. The air held the crisp kiss of autumn's chill, the breeze rustling the fire hued foliage of campus. Eventually the sun's golden rays chased away the moon, bringing with it the deep blue of the sky.

It was entirely possible to forget anything bizarre was happening on such a nice day. Monsters, earthquakes, pssht. Those didn't exist today.

At least not until the first rumble echoed off the edge of campus. And then the next. And the next. And the next. Each one closer, stronger, rattling everything that wasn't fixed in place. The more astute in their panic might have noticed that it was far too rhythmic in its shocks. It was like a heartbeat, or a particularly strong footstep down rickety stairs.

Or perhaps they just noticed that a huge foot had come crashing through the roof of whatever building they happened to be in. Probably a striking detail, that.

The mountains, it seemed, were out for a stroll.



The colossal beast was ambling without a care in the world. The school buildings it was walking over (and through) posed no issue for it. Clearly it was just enjoying the fine Sunday like anyone else would. The mountains it had apparently wandered down from must have looked too boring, or maybe that little wolf thing had been making too much of a racket.

Either way, it was here and it was peacefully walking directly through Smash Academy.

A smart move for something that was being attacked from below, but for things attacking from the sky, it made things much easier. Harpuia had surprisingly little trouble hovering mere feet from the beast's gigantic school-crushing butt while he ran his scanners.

A task that didn't take nearly as long as Harpuia thought, honestly. Almost immediately, he homed in on a spot right above the monster's tail. "There!" He called to Shantae, pointing one of his sabers at the spot.

"Time to kick its butt then," Shantae replied, swooping down towards the spot Harpuia pointed out. It looked different from the rest of its body, as if it was pulsing with energy. She sure hoped this hurt.

She swooped towards it, claws out, and slashed at the weak point.
