Carmelita Gets Radioactive

* Vibes ponders this*

Vibes : No this could work... if we focus and merge form.

Sal: So we could use an enhanced shield mode?

Vibes: Yeah.

Sal: Ok that has a chance of working.

Penny: but even then wouldn't logically it be easier to survive if we split the radiation amongst 4 beings instead on one. like 4 trash bins hold more than one

* Vibes nods*

Vibes: Ok but we'll each need to focus hard..

Van: i still have concerns about this

* Sal nods*

Sal: I know but our forms are unstable. We have to do something while we still can!

Van: right...

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: OK, everyone focus together so we can fly out to Carmy.

*they all focus

*They all float up awkwardly*

Van: whoa!

*Gradually they float toward the city centre as they follow Carmy's glowing*

Vibes: Follow that glow!

Van: almost there

*Carmy smiles as Penny, Sal, Van and Vibes get closer*

Carmy: Well, well, well looks like the blimps have caught up with us!

*A crowd laughs*

Van: where'd the crowd come from?!

*Vibes scowls*

Vibes: Don't let it throw you off, stay focused!

*Carmy grins*

Carmy: We'll see about that. OK everyone, give them the full blast!

Van: this better work

*Vibes, Van, Sal and Penny produce a shield enveloping Carmy*

Carmy: You...you seriously think you can contain me?

Vibes: We...have...to...!

Van: carm you gotta snap out of it

*Carmy shuts her eyes*

Carmy: I...I can't...

IN CARMY'S MIND...

*Chemic-Al pokes an enormously fat Carmy*

Chemic-Al: You want to end up like them Chunkalita?

Carmelita: sh-sh-shut up!

*Blimpalita laughs*

Blimpalita: You know it's true.

*Superlita nods*

Superlita: If you focus with them then you will absorb the radiation. Are you really willing to
immobilise yourself?

*Carmy gulps*

Carmy (thought): I...I know they're right...but I can't let them use me to warp the city...

*She turns to Vibes, Van, Penny and Sal who are all clearly in pain as they struggle to absorb the radiation*

Carmy: *focuses*

*Carmy glows, her body bulging as she absorbs the radiation*

Carmy (thought): AAGH! It...it's so painful...got to...fight...through...

Chemic-Al: you can't it's too much

*Superlita pokes Carmy's belly*

Superlita: Look at you, you're ballooning up to the size of a planet!

Blimpalita: You make me look like a supermodel!
