Editing Collapse of the Empire Eighty-Eight (section)

==Events==
Coil compiles an extensive and comprehensive list of the E88 member's identities including personal information like home address and phone numbers, photos in and out of costumes, and evidence of their crimes.<ref name=":0" /> He anonymously emails this list to Lisa and more importantly many local and even national news organizations.<ref>According to the gathered info that had been released about the Empire Eighty-Eight villains, he’d once tortured ABB gang members, taking away all pain tolerance and willpower, because those were skills we all learned over the course of our lives. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/11/19 Excerpt] from [[Radiation 18.2]]</ref>

Coil later personally tells Kaiser he's responsible, but Kaiser intentionally withholds that information from his subordinates. He lets the Protectorate and the Undersiders take the blame for the doxxing; Grue theorizes that Kaiser is channeling the E88's fear and anger into their pre-existing grudges in order to do even more damage.<ref>In Buzz 7.7</ref>

Purity specially calls out those two groups out when she begins attacking the Docks. Purity begins by destroying Bitch's dog shelter (luckily all the dogs were already moved out) and announces that she is will raze the city to the ground until she gets her daughter back. Her supervillain status seeming reason enough for the authorities to remove Aster from her custody.

Taylor immediately wants to head out and stop Purity and her team's carnage but Brian pumps the brakes. From his more practical perspective it's a job for the heroes, until Purity calls the Undersiders out by name and they call Lisa for her opinion. Eventually, they decide to act but first need to meet up and form a plan of attack.<ref>In Buzz 7.7</ref>

Grue and Skitter sneak through a blockage in an ambulance driven by two of Coil's men, but are stopped by [[Hookwolf]], [[Stormtiger]], and [[Cricket]]. They unsuccessfully try to sneak away, but Grue's darkness can't beat Stormtiger's enhanced senses and they're found.<ref>In Buzz 7.7</ref> After a brutal skirmish they manage to get away but not without injuries; Grue especially gets badly cut up by Cricket and is severely weakened by blood loss.<ref>In Buzz 7.8</ref> Grue and Skitter find the others and after medical attention, the Undersiders climb onto Bitch dogs to ride through the ravaged city blocks and confront Purity (with [[Rune]] and [[Crusader]] assisting), who concurrently is occupied in aerial battle with the [[New Wave]] flying heroes [[Lady Photon|Lady Proton]] and [[Victoria Dallon|Glory Girl]] with [[Aegis]]. 

Purity too high in the air for the ground-bound Undersiders to call out to, but Regent manages to temporarily bring down Rune and then avoid her telekinetic counterattack. But before they can begin to regroup, [[Fog]] and [[Night]] corner the team.<ref>In Buzz 7.10</ref>  Skitter primarily fights Night with the others either holding back Fog, supporting the injured Grue, or delivering timely assists. Night gets the better of Skitter and Tattletale has to shot her before she can slice Skitter's throat open. Before Night can bleed out before their eyes, E88 reinforcements arrive and Purity shots a beam of light the obscures Night enough that she can transform into her other form and back therein healing herself.   

Tattletale manages to talk Purity and her crew out of killing the Undersiders by revealing 1) that they weren't behind the doxxing and 2) the safehouse where the Protectorate has her daughter Aster. Purity decided to trust her but takes Tattletale with her as collateral just in case it's a trick.<ref>In Buzz 7.10</ref>  The rest of the team is evaced by Coil's people.
