((This takes place after "party" and "Alliance".))
Meta howled after the shape of the airborn corrupted Gem at mach 2, both individuals' passage raising the sea below to a boil as they swept over it. She'd found the corrupted at the Communications Hub, trying to eat the pillars of all things......
They'd had a short fight there, during which Meta had managed to slice off one of the Gem's six legs, and the Gem in turn had managed to catch Meta mid-air and pulverize one of her knees in its jaws. The Gem was in intense pain, but she did not need the structural integrity of her legs to fly.
Likewise, the semi-truck sized moth-thing she was chasing seemed to give zero shits about its missing limb. Meta took another pot-shot at the Gem's back with a plasma-bolt, and once again, the Gem juked to the side and avoided her shot easily despite its size. Just as she's suspected, the corrupt Gem was heading straight for the sea-shore. The dockside of Beach Coty was coming up fast ahead of her. Abruptly, the giant arthropod made a chortling, ululating sound, and clapped its wings together.
Woooooomphh!
The air rippled visibly, there was a rattling sound, and Meta toppled out of the sky, the thrusters that held her up sputtering out as she began to dip towards the ocean's surface, crashing into the sea at supersonic speeds and skipping along like a well-thrown rock. The moth chortled and circled, flying further towards shore and landing on top of a boat tethered to the outermost docks, causing it to sink low in the water under its weight. Meta began to sink, dropping below the sound-barrier and shearing diagonally down through the water, to the bottom of the bay.
Her vision was muddied by pain and 94 feet of water, but she could make out the moth peering down at her from above....
