Jude unleashed...

Sebastian stood at the roof exit of the small office building. He adjusted the radio/camera headset, pulled his costume from his butt crack and checked his watch. 45 minutes until his dose ran out. He strolled to the edge of the building and tested his latest heroic pose. The radio buzzed in his ear...

Vault This had better work, we need this to work... I checked the satellite image, the trail of destruction spread for about half a mile. I could see the fuzz hovering above the giant stone figure, they'd slowed him down but had been unable to stop him. We needed to act before the army arrived or worse the Morphora team. I'd picked up some calls from them a few minute before.
"Luke can you tell your idiot boy to focus..."
"No worries, I already have mate"
"and Jude, he's ready?"
"Well, as he'll ever be"

Luke turned and looked at Jude as the transmission ended. He was sitting at the back of the van biting his nails.
"You alright there fella?" Luke whispered
Jude looked up
"I guess, I mean he's only a 10 foot stone killing machine, right?"
"You'll be fine, just make sure the belt stays on until he's in range and remember how we practiced"
"Luke?" the radio piped "now!"

Jude opened the door and stepped out of the van. The high street was empty, the news reports had seen to that. London residents were adapting, as they always did, to unpleasant circumstances. The Police helicopter could be heard overhead, he was close. Jude took a deep breath, stepped from behind the van and grabbed the belt. The van pulled off and screamed down a side street narrowly missing a giant fist. The helicopter sound quietend as a red flash zipped from the top of a nearby building and carried it high into the air. Jude unclasped the nullifying belt and took a deep breath...
