Another spike. The creature had reappeared...so soon after its battle with the terrorist forces. The energy burst was unexpected...rather then a secluded area away civilization, it seemed to have manifested outside of a major civilian city. After what they had seen against the PWNT mechs...they needed to mobilize quickly, or the city would surely fall.
The flash of light was obvious to all. It overpowered even the light of the sun for a moment, drawing the attention of many of the city's inhabitants, though they could see little in the distance. GDF operatives that acted as the city's defense began contacting the nearest GDF installations, knowing what the flash meant, and feared for their safety and the safety of the civilians. Far from the seeking eyes of the humans, Aeonus landed with a massive thud, no longer levitating. A number of the strange mutated creatures stood around it, still as stone. Thin, wispy streams of pure energy were snaking off of them, flowing back into Aeonus itself. Where it had given them power, it was now taking said power back. The creatures were able to replicate quickly...they would not suffer from a few losses. In front of the time-bound being, the dirt began to stir. Spires of dirt rose up from the ground, slowly modeling into incredibly detailed structures, mimicking the city in the distance. The chaotic energy in Aeonus' eyes seemed to intensify.
As the replica finished its formation, Aeonus began to move, the energy snaking toward it disappearing, the creatures it had absorbed the energy from completely shattering into fine dust-like particles, completely drained of life. Reaching out with a clawed tendril, the alien being positioned it near one of the tallest spires. The tendril suddenly grasped the structure, somewhat slowly, crushing its midsection to the point of collapse. In the distance...the real structure began to groan. Slowly, massive cracks spread from its midsection, snaking around its entire girth before, with a massive groan, the top half of the spire completely broke off, collapsing down onto the base, causing the entire building to collapse.
Another tendril raked its way across the entire length of the replica city, smashing through many small dirt buildings, while partially destroying others in one swift motion. Ahead, the city reacted accordingly: Structures were blown apart as if they had been hit by explosives, debris flying in all directions, some smaller buildings completely destroyed, while other skyscrapers were damaged to the point of slow collapse, some even falling into others, causing those too to fall. Soon, most of the city was surrounded by dust caused by the destruction...
...However, the GDF, by then, had evacuated many of the civilians into the underground bunkers, which were designed to withstand monster attacks. Many lives were lost, that was for sure...but with the advanced warning, the city's inhabitants would survive...should help arrive...
