Sadya helped civilians carry belongings to the reinforced zone, creating bubble gum platforms to transport heavy items. A little girl hid her stuffed spider under her shirt. "Is she taking baby spider. Her mother repsonded "no, thats an artist and a webguard."
The little girls eyes lit up in excitement as she marveled over Sadya.
A civilian rushed over to her his aceent thick and southern "Ma'am, you look like you're really powerfull, is the island going to fall or not?" she asked Sadya.
Soit flew out his mouth.
Sadya looked at him with disucss..
"Ew, Probably not?" Sadya offered. "I mean, we're trying to stop it but that robot is still out there. I'm honestly not sure if..."
A citizen freaked out "Robot, what does that mean?"
Sadya "That means if you keeo spitting on people im goinf to feed you to the robot."
The man shouted in exaggerated fear "What robot?"
Weaver slapped a hand over her mouth. "What she means is, the Webguards have everything under control!"
He noticed a child fully engaged in the conversation.

The little girl looked unconvinced.
Sadya pulled away from Weaver's hand. "That was a lie and she knows it. Kids can tell."
"Can you just... try to be reassuring?"
"I don't know how to do that!" she said.
An alarm blared. The ground shook, not an earthquake, but something worse. The island lurched downward, sudden and violent. People screamed.
Sadya "Oh shit!"
Weaver "Is the island sinking?"
It was.....
Sadya created shields reflexively, catching falling debris before it crushed a family. Her gum stretched thin, too thin.
"I can't hold it!" she gasped.
Captain Long Legs was there instantly, he grew into a 12 foot giant his enhanced strength taking the weight. "I've got it. Get these people out!"
Sadya tried. She created a platform, loaded civilians on it. But the island tilted again. The platform slid.
"No, no, no..."
Plemeton's cybernetic limbs shot out, slicing the falling platform's into tiny pieces. "Go! I'll help them down!"
Sadya wanted to argue, but more debris was falling. She launched herself upward with gum tendrils, catching chunks of building, redirecting them away from people.
Higher. She went higher.
And then she saw it.
Below the island's edge, in the gap between Gray Hawk and the clouds belowcables. Massive mechanical cables, stretched taut, pulling downward.
There it was again grabbing the isalnd and pulling it to the surface.
"Oh no, not you again" she whispered.
The creature let go of the wired chains.
Sadya transformed into Gum Ball.
