Editing Goddess' Takeover (section)

== Battle ==
Goddess started destroying buildings and aligning various capes to her side.

Lung and the Pharmacist were deployed to the prison and started destroying a large amount of property. Victoria, Rain and Capricorn [[Antares vs Lung|fought]] them. Victoria managed to capture the Pharmacist, allowing Goddess to master Lung.

While this fight was going on, Cryptid was carrying out his own mission. He had already made contact with Goddess' cluster mate and then contacted Panacea and Dot. She knew who he was and they started talking. They then formulated a plan to deal with Goddess.<ref name="II10.y">[[Interlude 10.y II]]</ref>

The trio of Cryptid, Panacea and the as yet unnamed clustermate arrived at the prison gates just as Breakthrough, along with [[Monokeros]], were tasked to deal with the exploding leg bands. The group, linking up with [[Foresight]] members [[Ratcatcher]] and [[Crystalclear]], succesfully interfered, while the resident Tinker was already wrapping up the situation. By this time, Goddess was able to regain her full power from her clustermate.

Ratcatcher and [[Natalie]] pointed Victoria to some food that was infused with a drug that could undo Goddess' mastering. Finally free, Victoria started handing out this food to others in the army. Goddess noticed, and attacked, but Cryptid stepped in and managed to kill her.

With that, Amy announced her intentions to take over [[Earth Shin]] and offered every villain the same deal (with caveats) that Goddess had, almost all prisoners took it.<ref name=reign>“Everyone!  You have a choice!  We ''are'' going to Earth Shin!  We ''are'' going to be an authority [...] There will be rules!  This means submitting to my power!  It will ''not'' be as Goddess’ was!  You’ll follow a code of laws, you’ll maintain control and peace, and you’ll protect populations.  You’ll be reasonably ''good''!  Or you can stay here.  You’ll be freer, but you’ll also be a target for heroes!” <br>[...]<br>Some prisoners were fairly quick to leave to follow.  Ones who knew her from the Birdcage?  With them went followers, and once a critical amount had left, a majority followed.  Only the heroes really stayed. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/13 Excerpt] from [[Gleaming 9.15]]</ref> Then with Cryptid at her side, they departed.<ref>“What ''I'' think, and I’m saying this as someone who pays attention to power, authority, and leadership, I was listening as they talked at the end, before they left.  Amy made her announcement, remember? [...] Do you remember at the end?” Ashley asked.  “She turned to him, and she asked him, ‘Was that alright?’ or something like that.”<br><br>“Something like that,” Tristan said.<br><br>I felt uncomfortable in a way that didn’t necessarily have to do with Amy’s involvement.<br><br>“I would stake my reputation on this,” our Ashley said.  The other Ashley was nodding slightly, as if already acknowledging or corroborating.  “The tone, the timing?  She asked him because she is ''subordinate''.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/27/ Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.2]]</ref>
