With a rumbling echoing in her ears, Elise found herself shuffling awake. She rubbed her head, feeling a little tired. "What is happening? How did the operation go?" She asked, looking around. She was in her normal room, laid neatly on her bed with the sheets covering her up to her chest. She felt oddly... stronger, a sort of strength in her veins she did not have before. Was this what Winter felt too? The nurse looked at her with worry, then pressed a button. "Just lay down, the Doctor will be in to see you shortly." She said, glancing about. The rumble happened again, shaking the room around them. "What is happening?' Elise tried standing up only for nothing to happen. Why were her legs not working? Was the polonium poisoning that intensive? "We aren't sure. Ezra and Carter are trying to investigate it, but the earthquake warnings aren't coming up with anything."
Chrysanthemum was not a city built on any fault lines, so earthquakes really should not be happening. So what could explain the rumbling that made cracks appear on the ceilings? It didn't take long for Doctor Julian to rush in, looking somewhat haggard. Had he not been getting sleep? "It's good you're awake. We have a situation, but first, let's give you your examination." He barked a few orders at her and once it was done he was ready with the results. "So you've definitely become stronger, you're more stable and your organs are in proper working order now. At the very least, you're not due to die any time soon." Elise could feel her control over her rain more clearly too, but it would be hard for Julian to test that parameter, despite Ame's silly grin at her side. "But there is an obvious downside." She gestured to her useless logs pretending to be legs, frowning slightly. Julian bowed, lowering his head. "We were too late. By the time I began, the damage to your spine was irrepairable. With current medical sciences, you will no longer be able to walk."
She nodded, sighing, her ruby eyes reflecting mild disapoiintment. "Raise your head, do not blame yourself. I will manage until further research advances." Right now there was something more important to deal with. "So tell me about the rumbling." The black eagle wanted to get right back to business. Doctor Julian made sure no one else was able to hear in before beginning. "We're receiving radio signals of a massive monster digging its way towards us. Ezra and Carter are trying to get more information on it in the tunnels, to get a clearer image of what we're dealing with. It's almost as big as the Underground City, but if the people were to hear of this, there would be a panic."
So a humongous monster was going through the Earth to reach to them? Did it get lost after going through the portal and was trapped underground all this time? "And if we are not careful, we could collapse the pillars holding up the Underground City." The answer was fairly obvious to her then, even if it may be dangerous. "Against something like this, if we allow the monster to reach the Underground City, there will be casualties. Do we know why it is targeting us?" She smiled, an idea coming to mind. "We might be able to lure it to the Municipal Government's home base instead if we find out what it is seeking." A gigantic monster of unprecedented size? Even the President's army would have trouble handling that.
