Brock'd used all the azure power he had left in him. He'd need a few moments to recharge. ​

​     Problem: He was still thousands of feet in the air. 

​     And he was nearly unconscious. 

     Still strapped to his wheelchair, Brock plummeted for the Earth.

     "Go get him!" Estelle screamed at Shawnacy. Nacy still held Gramps with one arm and Estelle with the other. She threw Estelle around on her back so that Estelle rode her shoulders.

     And this was as she dove for Brock. 

​     Silveria swooped down upon the terrified populace still reeling from the shock of having a van drop down from the clouds to smash into thousands of pieces right there where they walked and drove. She turned off her blazing silver flame after she landed on a parked moving van.

​     And, again, she was totally nude.

​     The onlookers stared at her, transfixed.

​     The men especially.

     She was so very, very beautiful. 

​     She laughed crazily and said in a voice loud enough so that no one had any trouble hearing, "Gaze upon the magnificence that is my nakedness! Doesn't the mere sight of it excite you?"

     She raised her arms, outstretched her fingers, and this time it was hundreds of tendrils of flame that emerged from her fingertips. 

     Two tendrils for each of the men who ogled her. There were hundreds of such men.

     One tendril for each eye.

     They burned right through the pupil, right through the brain, and right out the other side of the skull.

     Hundreds of men dropped to the sidewalk as one, as dead as the moment before they were conceived. 

     No one did anything for several seconds, all these thousands of people. No one could believe what they just saw with their own eyes. Then, a woman, screamed, and that got everyone started. Within moments, the loudest noise that could be heard was the sound of screaming. Half the people ran, but they couldn't get far because the other half were rooted in place. Then, everyone began to run, but not in the same direction. A mother of four tripped and dropped hard to the sidewalk. Her children watched horrified as their mother got stomped on by fleeing people. 

     Silveria held back her head and roared with laughter. Then she exploded into silver flame. Those closest to her died instantly. Many hundreds more required immediate medical assistance for the burns they received, although it would be difficult for any emergency vehicles to get to them under the present circumstances.
