The Fate who calls herself Mountain tried to convince some of her neighbors to allow the occasional mountain in their lands, for stability purposes.
"I meant no insult!" Dodge ball of lava. "I don't intend to interfere, you said no!" Dodge house-sized spear of ice. "I'm leaving peacefully, okay, so stop tearing up the tile!"
"You'll respawn at home. No permanent damage. You interrupted an important meeting, you need to learn a lesson about territory, mountain bitch." Dodge- no, fail to dodge a thrown tree, and then another ice ball. The next sphere of magma is what destroyed that form.
She wakes up, stripped of all her tools and enchantments and even clothes, and groans in pain.

"Okay, thanks, I'll stop taking your time."
Back to work and studying and occasionally even relaxing. With an undertone of slightly nervous waiting for Behemoth.

She's in Buffalo, New York, raising an office building. She won't know about Lyon until someone tells her.
She's contacted by the Protectorate. She's given a location, should she choose to help against Behemoth, and asked to go there immediately if she can.

It's time.
She leaves the steel girder she was about to put into place embedded into the ground and flies off at top speed. It takes her less than ten minutes to get to the collection point.

There are only a handful of capes there, and after a few minutes a teleporter appears to collect them.
They appear in New York, where a few planes are waiting.

She adjusts her rocksuit, dropping most of the bulky stone so she doesn't slow down the plane. She adds a stylized '山' on her forehead, and an 'M' on her chest.
Any familiar faces boarding the planes?

She makes sure to board the same plane as Glam, and if given a chance insists at them, "We are going to win."

"Yeah. Yeah, we are," they say, sounding more like they're trying to convince themself than anything.

"Have you practiced making lightsabers? I'll just go with my trusty diamond hammer if not."
mxglam
"Mmhm! They're cool!" Glam demonstrates, being careful not to move it around too much or cut stuff.
sturdycoldsteel
"Good." Her volume ticks up. "You said these are even stronger than the movie version, right? I wonder how deep it'll cut."
mxglam
Glam... never said any such thing. They also notice her speaking louder, and the consequent increase in attention.
That... that's worrying.
"Yeah," they play along. "It should be able to turn Behemoth into a limbless piece of rock."

"Here's hoping." She doesn't keep talking up the lightsaber. No need to look like she's deliberately attracting attention.
She pulls out a computer and starts going over what little information is available on past Behemoth attacks.

"Good firing positions are underrated. Even Scion wouldn't be able to do much from the bottom of a hole."
sturdycoldsteel
"Right. Let's do this thing."
She exits the plane and flies at top speed to the already-ongoing battle. Behemoth is not exactly stealthy, so it's easy to find a spot to raise a plateau where he'll be in full view for a long time.
She declares the imminent good-firing-position into the communicator Alexandria gave her and gets to work, careful not to send anyone currently near her chosen spot flying.

She draws attention to the turret while ostensibly 'making sure nobody's going to be caught by the backwash'.
Then her firing plateau is ready. She levitates up small groups of tinkers and less-mobile blasters, makes lots of sharp rocky ammunition for one after a brief conversation, and then solicits a lightsaber.
The lightsaber is basically Burning Blade. It will cut through just about anything. She's used Burning Blade before, she knows in her gut it will work.

A lightsaber is given. Glam doesn't question it when it looks a bit different than they expect it to.
And the countdown for the blast starts.
