After Echidna kidnapped Vista,<ref>“Miss Militia,” I responded, when I realized none of the others were responding.  Should have hashed this out with Tattletale.  She can do the negotiating with hostile parties better than I can.<br><br>“You do this?”  She jerked her head in the direction of the wreckage, not moving the rifle.  Her voice was hard.<br><br>“Indirectly,” I replied.  “But not really, no.  I don’t know what that is, exactly.”<br><br>“I find that hard to believe,” she responded.  “A hell of a lot of damage, reports of howling eerily similar to the reports we’ve had for Hellhound’s animals, and let’s not forget your penchant for kidnapping the good guys.  Shadow Stalker, Piggot, Calvert…”<br><br>Kidnapping heroes?<br><br>With my bugs, I did a head count.  Someone was missing.<br><br>How?  Dinah said Noelle wouldn’t do any major damage before dawn.<br><br>“Vista,” I finished Miss Militia’s thought.  “You’re talking about Vista.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/queen-18-2/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.2]]</ref> she produced six Vista clones. One of the Scapes ran off to kill Vista's family.<ref name="six">“She was alone.  And could smell how strong she was.  Read about her online, too.  Internet was all I had for a long time.  Now I’ve got them.  They’re pretty obedient, and it’s nice to have company.  I haven’t had any physical contact with anyone for a while, and they like giving me hugs.  Except the sixth.”<br><br>“Sixth,” Miss Militia said.<br><br>“Not as obedient.  She ran off.  Gibbering something about killing her family.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/queen-18-4/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.4]]</ref> The rest accompanied Echidna during her talk with the Protectorate heroes through a webcam feed.<ref name="five" /> Noelle lied during this conversation, claiming that she had killed Vista to produce the six Scapes.

As the Chicago [[Wards]] and the [[Undersiders]] were moving to intercept Echidna, they came across several Scapes lying in ambush, two masked Scapes, and one tall Scape. The first Scape was on the rooftops, thinning walls and twisting building supports in order to collapse buildings near the Undersiders. The second Scape disrupted movement, cutting off avenues of escape by raising streets into walls.<ref>We’d ground to a halt, and sure enough, the pseudo-Vista on the rooftop was slowly starting to work on the buildings around us, thinning walls and twisting supports.  She was spreading out the work and laying the groundwork for future collapses, I realized.  The second psycho-Vista, busy trying to close the distance by folding the space between us and her and stepping across the shortened distances, was raising the street between two buildings, creating a steep incline that even Bitch’s dogs would struggle to climb, cutting off one avenue of retreat. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/queen-18-5/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.5]]</ref> She also assisted the other Scapes with dodging attacks.<ref>“She’s still alive!” I called out, interrupting him.  There was a small explosion as  Raymancer directed a shot at the Radioactive Vista and missed.  I could sense how the barrier behind us abruptly stopped growing and how the space to one side of her warped to let her evade more easily.<br><br>“Vista to our three o’clock is assisting her!” I said. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref> The third Scape, the tall one, produced radiation dust that was potentially lethal to anyone that entered it. [[Grue]] could use his darkness to counteract the radiation.<ref name="radiation" /> In a feint maneuver, the tall Scape managed to bombard [[Raymancer]] with radiation before Grue could cover it up. [[Wanton]] then attacked the Scape with his radiation-immune whirlwind form, snapping one of her arms. Grue, Skitter, and [[Tecton]] helped wear away at the tall Scape until she eventually collapsed, dead.<ref>She went all-out with her power, aimless, directionless.  Street signs, mailboxes, piles of debris, walls and sections of road began twisting and bulging.  Grue laid down a blanket of darkness all around us, aiming to dampen the spread of the radioactive particles.  I wasn’t sure how that worked, but Tattletale thought it did, and I wasn’t about to complain.  I’d settle for a white lie if it meant we were able to stay focused on fighting, rather than the cancer we’d have five years from now.<br><br>It took ten seconds before the Vista collapsed.  Only ten seconds to bleed out to the point of unconsciousness.  The blood continued pumping free, and nobody leaped forward to staunch the flow. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref> The second Scape battled with [[Regent]], [[Imp]], and [[Bitch]]. With the help of Regent's interference and Imp's tasering, Bitch managed to get one of her dogs to catch the Scape in its jaws, crunching down and killing her instantly.<ref>“Kill,” Rachel said, her voice quiet.  The bulldog picked up the Vista in his jaws and bit down until an audible series of cracks marked the breaking of a dozen major bones.  He shook her like a rag doll, no doubt snapping her neck and aggravating every injury he’d just inflicted.  The girl was dead in an instant. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref> The first Scape was wounded by one of Raymancer's blasts. Skitter took advantage of the wound and poured bugs into the Scape's body. She was disabled by a glob of containment foam and, with an order from [[Miss Militia]] over the radio, was executed by an unnamed cape.<ref>It was Miss Militia who responded through the armband.  She gave a curt order, and several capes turned away.  One of the capes who hadn’t took aim and shot the fallen girl between the eyes. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref>

When proceeding toward Echidna and [[Eidolon]], the Undersiders and Chicago Wards drove past a group of capes dispatching another Scape.<ref name="jagged">We caught up to a group of the faster-moving heroes who’d flown ahead.  They were dispatching another Vista.  She was shorter, thicker in the arms and legs, with a neck as thick around as her head was.  The space around her was twisted into jagged shapes, with some raised into points.  Two of the capes had been injured but were still fighting. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref> During the first battle against Echidna, there were two Scapes that accompanied her. One had the ability to store people in two-dimensional space, using this ability to hide herself on Echidna's body and various clones on the surrounding walls in order to set up an ambush.<ref name="flat">Something peeled away from Noelle’s side, and when it bumped into my bugs, they weren’t absorbed.  The stature, the length of the hair… another Vista.<br><br>I thought maybe Noelle had produced another clone, but others started to emerge from the surrounding architecture, peeling away from nearby walls as if they’d been inside the surfaces.<br><br>And they weren’t all Vistas.  I noted the presence of what had to be a Circus, disproportionate and thin, with a hunched back, using her knuckles to walk.  There was another Vista, two large figures who might have been Übers, and on the second floor of the building behind Eidolon there was a narrow young man, shirtless, with a gun bigger than he was.  Leet. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/queen-18-7/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.7]]</ref> When Eidolon attacked Echidna and her clones with his gravity magnification power, the Scape folded herself and her fellow clones into surrounding surfaces, keeping them alive.<ref>“It let him move well out of the way before it went off,” I said.  “And it’s helping him when Noelle tries to trick him.  She’s… I don’t even know how to put it.  She’s wearing a Vista that can turn two-dimensional, and the Vista is helping keep her other clones alive.  Whenever Eidolon moves like he’s about to drop that gravity magnification on them, she folds Noelle’s clones against whatever surface they’re touching and then pastes herself into Noelle.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/queen-18-7/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.7]]</ref> It's possible that another Scape was also helping Echidna, as clones were seemingly pulled out of nowhere to help Echidna.<ref>I was getting increasingly worried that there was some factor here that would decide the battle, something I should grasp but wasn’t.  It didn’t help that both Noelle and Eidolon had powersets that I didn’t fully understand.  Noelle was apparently pulling clones out of nowhere, despite not having contact with Vista or the other villains.  Getting a sense of any given power and accounting for all the possibilities was hard enough, but Eidolon had a bunch of them at any given time, and they could change. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/queen-18-7/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.7]]</ref> Another Scape was vomited out by Echidna that sculpted rough likenesses of Echidna out of the pavement. She used these to distract Eidolon in the dim lighting.<ref name="sculpt" /> When Tecton trapped Echidna in an "antlion pit," the two-dimensional Scape flattened out the new clones Echidna vomited in order to set up an ambush. Under Skitter's command, Tecton shattered the ground, forcing several two-dimensional clones to reappear and injuring a [[Carnie]] in the process.<ref name="piledriver" /> 

During her attack on Coil's base, Echidna employed multiple Scapes to clear the collapsed tunnels of Coil's base, offering her a way in.<ref>The tunnels that Coil had used to move his trucks in and out of the base had been collapsed, and it had been recent.  She could smell the smoke from the explosives.  She spat out a Vista, then another, and another, until she had one that could give her a way in, shrinking the rubble and expanding the corridor. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/16/interlude-18/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 18]]</ref>

It is assumed that they were all killed during or after the [[Battle against Echidna]].
