Wildstorm charges toward us, the platform quaking underneath her hooves. Shrewd hyena eyes fix on us.
[Lobo! Do we Super Jump?]
His response comes rapid-fire. [I thought we were saving that? Saving the power of your amulet for when we need it?]
[NO! We have all the power we need. Right here. All around us. It's time to stop playing small.]
The platform quakes when Lobo summons up a surge of power and rockets up.
Concentrate. All the energy of the audience. Everyone watching. I have all that I need. I'm going to defeat System with everything that I am. Everything that we are.
Wind whistles through my fur, caressing me, buoying me higher. Lifted, I watch the air around me warp and blur. The energy crackles, and the surge nearly shorts out my nerve endings. But I don't feel depleted. Now, I can tap into the collective, and I have everything I require.
Except how to brake, naturally.
