#Honestly this is just being word vomiting lmao with maybe some holes in it buts anyways

That last part makes me think.

Now, what if and hear me out on this one. What if one of the shield's core designs, one of the core traits of it is that it pulls from whatever is inside of it?

You could say that whoever made it, maybe one person who actually had brains decided that, hey. What if instead of using outward power supplies we just use, well.

The Hydra itself?

Maybe their idea got shot down and the scientist, being a petty motherfucker, decided to do all that shit anyways in secret and succeeded at doing do as well. Maybe you could even say that before he got properly finish and then show the higher up that it works he got kicked out of the GIW and, being a petty little shit.

Decides to finish and employ it without the GIW even knowing what it actually is.

Why am I saying this? Because this would put the GIW in a massive amount of hot water because 1. They don't have any sort of weapon that could actually bring this massive dragon to heel in the case it becomes a threat and 2. The only thing that actively keeps it contained was made and deployed by a fired scientist.

But anyways back to the shield-

Me thinks that it was passively absorbing power from the ennead and slowly getting stronger over time, enough so that it doesn't break immediately under their continuously applied force after they woke up and try to get out. Only for that trait that sucks the power of the Hydra?

Yea it actives another one of its core traits.

Maybe every attack that hits it kinda... runs along the surface of it? And then kinda just integrates into the shield because its power is getting sucked into its surface to power the shield itself while the other trait passively sucks out energy from the Hydra?

I don't think it's enough to kill or force the Hydra into its core, but both traits active at the same does actually put some strain on the ennead.

Right right okay bouncing over to the GIW now.

What if they take credit for making the shield even though they didn't actually? Like, this is the only thing keeping them out of the deeper parts of hot water so they claim that they've made it and that yea, they could do something about this just give them some time you know?

Meanwhile internally they are sweating major bullets because what they hell are they supposed to do in this situation? Yea they've been making weapons, but they know full well that none of them can actually bring the Hydra to heel like how the rest of the government wants it too. They can claim the merit for creating the shield but can't actually put that into practice because they don't know how to make another on, and they can't even find the origin of said shield to try and reverse engineer it.

(You know this would make it so much funnier if the scientist decided one of their last middle fingers to the GIW was to place the shield inside of Amity Park instead of anywhere outside of it.)

And since they can't find it anywhere outside, they just decided to leave it alone because ain't nobody stepping a foot in there anymore after it woke up.

(Also yea I think they probably used the shield to discreetly pull out some ghosts. But the thing is they never actually cared about the shield because it was-at the time- weaker than an average ghost shield and only started caring a while later when it stopped the massive Hydra in its tracks. But now they can't actually do anything unless they want to risk being utterly obliterated by said Hydra)

How would the magical heroes view the Hydra?

Probably very, very magical. Like, more than one magical signature tied together and covered in death, and they would most definitely see it as some kind of experiment of the like. Like, 9 different magical signatures, all of which were tied together by and covered in death and is extremely angry and trying to escape?

Yea, that was probably something man made. Something man made that is incredibly, incredibly angry.

Maybe they could mistake its anger over anger of its existence and wanting to find their 'creator' to kill out of vengeance instead of, you know, being trapped and becoming increasingly annoyed that the thing you could've and should've broken rather easily just gives you the middle finger by not breaking.

Ahem anyways.

I won't lie, them having a one large core would be something actually. But then also being split apart is also a good one. Like, giant core and you peer inside would be various elementals somehow co-existing in harmony and then the being split apart would mean that it would give some credit to the man-made abomination theory.

Prompt 203

Another Hydra prompt! Because I am enjoying the designs I’ve made lol. And perhaps it’s a bit inspired by @radiance1 ‘s different dragon prompts too. 

So they’ve succeeded! They’ve managed to combine their powers- with a bit of shapeshifting helped along by so many ghost allies- and become a giant duck-you dragon! Well, originally they were going to do something else, but they couldn’t agree on an animal, so dragon it was! 

And how mighty they are! They’re giant, absolutely massive- dwarfing the couple of skyscrapers still in Amity. Damages via ghost attacks and general sparring made it where people really didn’t want to rebuild those types of buildings. 

But anyway, dragon! Them! They’re absolutely stunning! And did they mention powerful? Because boy oh boy, are they powerful. The GIW’s guns do practically nothing against their combined might, and barriers shatter before them! 

The uh, issue is that they erm… can’t turn back. Which is fine, they’ve all sort of outlived most of their generation- thank you possessions and ecto-contamination, it’s just a tiny bit of an adjustment. But really it’s not too bad, and someone needs to stop the GIW from trying to poke their heads into Amity. Like it’s been a solid couple of generations, it’s time to stop, thanks. 

Actually they’ve been a bit quiet. Meh, that surely isn’t a problem. Probably. Honestly they’re all going to use the opportunity to sprawl out where the school yard once was, their favorite place to sun their scales. Huh. Usually more people are around now that they think about it- or really, as Paulina points out, sharpening her fangs on one of the rocks. 

…

How long had they been sleeping, because it couldn’t have been that long. One of them was always awake, they slept in shifts after all! Yet there are things missing now as they patrol the skies, both Wes and Tucker pointing out specific buildings that the others didn’t particularly notice usually that now lay empty. 

Hm. 

Oh. That is a… strong barrier there. A really strong barrier actually. Pfft, they can take it! They’ve shredded every barrier together before- Ow. 

…

Okay this might be a bit of a problem. Shit. 

You want a general size reference? :P
