Welcome to Gaia! ::

Plasmus, waited the amount of time he was told… but received no more orders. With this all six of the purple acid monsters, exploded from the fear gas. Intoxicating everything below, and above. Screams of terror, could already be heard as the gas filled the entire city one block at a time. Civilians screamed and ran away. Slowly, the purple monster reformed, and let out a ghastly “GARRRROAAAH!!!” And he slid farther down. This gas didn’t effect him, and he was the perfect host.

Meanwhile back in Titans Tower, the pink blob mades its way up a pip, slowly but surely. He stretch himself into the sprinkler system of the tower, which also was outside on the shore, and he placed the canister on the inside of it. Smirking. He followed his steps back but got lost.. Instead he started coming out in a shower… While a pinkette was showering. He fell onto her head, and smiled that huge grin. Expecting a scream shortly after his arrival, Plasmus rushed out into the halls, and pulled the fire alarm. Causing the sprinklers to go off, revealing the gas.

Company: Jinx and Aria... And ********. Him too.

Thoughts: I have seen some serious s**t... But nothing quite as literal as that.

Feeling: Anticipation for a battle.

Toxin wasn't sure who put Jinx in charge, but he wasn't inclined to argue as they moved through the hallways; the girl seemed to know what she was doing, at least partially. And she knew where she was going, which put her a step ahead of Toxin. She began explaining the plan, most of which Toxin let drone over with a nod; it was pretty basic stuff as far as he was concerned. This was the sort of thing he did on the daily. Except usually it wasn't in retaliation or defense. He nodded, smirking playfully as the girl admitted she was scared. "What, scared? We're just in a confined space filled with God-only-knows how many enemies, random pockets of gas that causes extreme hallucinations, and any other number of fun little surprises. I think we can handle it," he muttered with a grin and a wink, following her as he tried to show her pep talk, while appreciated, wasn't needed. Not from him, at least. That's when the plan began moving forward, and Toxin's grin faded back to a smirk. Time to get serious. Whoever pulled this s**t was going down. Hard.

When Jinx went ahead and assumed he was about as stealthy as she was, he loosed a humorous chuckle. That was probably the understatement of the year; if Toxin didn't want to be seen, Toxin wasn't seen. It was literally that simple. So they'd take point on the sides of the hallway, while Aria followed up with whatever plant stuff she happened to have. He gave a nod as Jinx started down the hallway; in a sudden, nearly-silent poof, Toxin had exploded and became a trillion black particles, hanging in the air as a heavy smoke. He fell to the floor like this, crawling along the hallway like a shadow without a body. When Jinx peeked around the corner and came back cursing, a vague silhouette of Toxin's face reformed in that shadowy smog hanging on the floor, familiar smirk intact. "When, where, and how hard?" He whispered back, giving another wink as the plan took root. He formed a wispy hand and gave what must have been a thumbs-up to her plan. As soon as she shot herself from the corner, Toxin took flight above her and soared towards the creature; he formed a cloud around its head, and began forcing his way into the creature's airways. He hoped to at least suffocate it, if he couldn't transfer the fear gas to it, but he tried that too. With this two-pronged offensive and the element of surprise, he doubted the purple sludge beast would have much of a chance.

He pushed himself against Plasmus' mouth, hoping it'd be forced open by the shot or maybe he'd just be stupid and scream; either way, Toxin would force himself in and begin work. Until then he was working pretty effectively as a blinding and irritation agent, although the sludge seemed mostly immune to his particular brand of sick. He began forcing the inner layer of the smoke, the bits that were in direct contact with the sludge, to become solid; it was a sand-like substance, black and glistening in the artificial light, and he slowly became more and more sand. Before long he'd almost taken on a human shape, or at least part of him; his head, the upper left half of his torso and his left arm were recognizable. The rest of him was doing his best to suffocate, strangle, or infect Plasmus with the fear gas. "Hit him again!" He called, his voice raspy in this form; he waved at Jinx with his one arm, pointing to the stomach. Maybe another solid hit would speed this bit up.

Several pink hexes came his way, and Plasmus took them to the body. Since his body—if you could even call that—simply absorbed the hexes, the attack made the ooze monster laugh at the attempt, the laugh being more of a series of guttural grunts. However, the attack had proven to be successful even if it didn’t do any damage. It managed to distract him to the point that he barely even noticed Toxin moving in. Plasmus also didn’t even notice the seeds thrown in his open mouth at all. It wouldn’t be different even if he had noticed these things. He—or it—wasn’t exactly a genius. He didn’t understand strategy or teamwork. He was always given instructions. Because of this, he never had the opportunity to think on his own—beyond finding food and fighting off anyone who tried to stop him. If he were better capable of thinking for himself, he would’ve caught on to the Titans’ plan earlier.

The gas from Toxin and Aria’s seeds had gone off inside the creature. For a brief moment, deep down inside the abomination that was Plasmus heard faint voices and brief flashbacks. They were of the accident the man had that turned him into a monster; the accident that ruined his life. The flashback was over in a few seconds for Plasmus and the monster didn’t even flinch. He was no longer the same person when he was awake, so not only did the flashback barely have any effect on him emotionally, but he didn’t even know what it was. The ooze creature assumed the voices were the people he was fighting. However this was not the full extent of the effect the gas would have on him. On the outside the gas simply escaped through the corners of his mouth. Jinx’s little plan had not only failed to defeat him, but the plan also put them in more danger. Especially Toxin who was partially inside Plasmus. What a stupid idea.

The monster grinned at the opportunity to defeat a Titan. This hero in particular had positioned himself so part of his body could turn to gas inside the creature. Again, Plasmus was almost incapable of picking up on tactics. In fact, he didn’t have much of an opinion of this Titan other than it would be easy and quick to beat this hero. It didn’t strike Plasmus as odd that someone would get so close to his mouth seemingly without realizing it. Toxin was so close that he was just asking for what would happen next. Plasmus opened its mouth wide and completely engulfed him. The creature then gave another guttural laugh at the small victory.

After the trio of teens had launched their attacks, Jinx stood back to observe the results. Agonizing seconds ticked by, whilst Jinx's cat-like eyes widened with the horrifying thought of not only their attack failed -- but one of her new teammates was just eaten by the purple people eater which issued a deep bellowing laugh. It's my fault..., the pinkette's thought echoed within her brain, not only fearing for her own safety but to Aria's and Marko's as well.

Then, the former thief observed the growing bulges on Plasmus' body. At first, Roshni thought that the towering goo monster was about to launch a new attack on the remaining pair of girls. Cat eyes then noticed what seemed to register as a look of confusion on the monster's face, What the.... That was when Toxin exploded out of Plasmus' chest like a certain chest-bursting alien from a set of movies staring Sigourney Weaver, "Gah-ross!"

An impish smile crawled across Jinx's face, when she listened to the plan of the crystalline form of her new teammate. Glancing toward the girl at her side with pink glowing eyes, Jinx spoke, "Hey Aria, if you don't have a 'vine-whip', just instruct the seed that's there to feed on what's left of Plasmus like a giant Jello Slurpee. I'll.... adjust the probability of that happening." Turning to face Plasmus with a viscous grin, glowing slender hands held up a charged hex for a moment or two. Bringing both hands forward, Jinx launched the pink flare at the the only easy target without hitting Toxin --Plasmus' face.

Jinx's hex was focused on the intent of altering Plasmus state from the amorphous goo into the famous gelatin substance that the pinkette mentioned....

The monster continued with his guttural laugh. He had taken out one Titan and now had only two left to deal with. And they seemed like somewhat easy opponents at that. Their attacks had failed to do any real damage to him, so they were no threat to him. He had the momentum in this fight. Being at full strength and having to fight only a small handful of Titans spelled an easy victory for the ooze monster. He always appreciated a good laugh and this battle was a nice small break from his mission. All he had to do was take out the two girls like he had with the male and leave.

Suddenly there was a rumble inside. It had caught plasmus off guard for a moment, but thought nothing of it, assuming it was just the poor hero he had swallowed. The Titan would struggle a bit, but it would all be over soon, so the first few ruptures were of no concern for Plasmus. But then the ruptures had grown to large bulges that obscured the creature’s view of the other heroes. The monster gave a confused moan and tried to pat the bulges back into his body with his large hands, but this proved to be pointless. There were too many bulges for him to flatten and before long a bulge exploded with so much power that it flung the monster’s head backward. A roar of pain and surprise escaped him. This was the first hit in a while that had actually managed to cause Plasmus pain. Not to mention it made him look ridiculous. The blast had knocked his head back so hard that it was now hanging from behind where the ooze formed shoulder blades. Plasmus was not one to ever be concerned of appearances. He was however infuriated that his interior was incredibly exposed, allowing more possible damage to be done, and he could not see what was happening.

Completely disoriented, Plasmus was unable to resist when his body was raised up and his arms and legs fastened outward, exposing him even more. His head now hanging by several thick strands of ooze, it swung forward as he was lifted. His head was still hanging, but now he could see his enemies, not to mention a face that he could recognize as the Titan he had swallowed. He managed a small angry growl at Toxin before he was cut off by a powerful hit to his face. Jinx’s hex had hit so hard that it caused Plasmus’ head to sink into itself. Normally his head would simply reform. Unfortunately for the monster, Jinx’s hex was causing his substance to melt. The caved in mush that was his head began to drip to the floor rapidly. Plasmus writhed about lazily, becoming more and more tired from the attacks. As the world began to fade, he faintly felt Aria’s attack with the vines, as well as the seeds inside him begin to absorb him from within. Toxin ejected himself from the creature as Plasmus began to melt. He gave a weak roar before his body melted through the restraints and plopped onto the ground in a large soupy puddle of purple goop. Under the goop was a half-naked man laying unconscious on the ground.

Jinx had her traditional smirk back, not the Plasmus was down and out for the count. Pink cat eyes glance at Black Rose to answer the plant mistress, "Whatever you do... make sure he stays asleep. Only when this guy is conscious is when he automatically turns into Plasmus." Roshni glanced around the wreckage in the hall, looking for anything and anyone else that could be here. Plasmus was a rampaging monster, not a master planner.

After the Gothic sorceress was certain that there wasn't an immediate threat in this part of the Tower, Jinx reasoned that the rest of the structure would certainly need to be checked thoroughly. When Aria mentioned that she was checking on Syren's Room, the pinkette nodded whilst her cat eyes continued to scan the wreckage -- when something caught her eye. A slender eyebrow arches upward, Well, well. What do we have here? Jinx discovered a fist-sized orange and black metallic ball with a lens.

When the hexmistress picked the device up, she was aware of the origins of the ball -- who's lens focused on her. Jinx's eyes widen slightly and then narrow with a harsh glow, as her logic locks on to the mastermind behind the assault ... hissing at the device, "Slade... Of course, you would be the one responsible for this, you one-eyed b*****d! We'll... be seeing you later, you English p***k." Jinx charged the device with a hex designed to shut the camera down by rendering the power cell and whatever explosives within inert.

Jinx then proceeded to bring her Titan communicator toward her face, pressing the switch on the side to transmit, "Jinx to Nightwing, it appears that that the military precision attack against us has been brought to you by none other than one of our favorite megalomaniacs: Slade. As Black Rose reported, Plasmus is down, and we're going to make sure he stays asleep until we ship him where he needs to go. As soon as we're sure that Syren and Behemoth are alright, I'd like to make a full sweep of the Tower to make sure that Slade didn't leave us anymore surprises. Please let us know what you want us to do, Nightwing."
