Coming to America

Shortly after I arrived on the scene, a group of American superheroes attacked Dr. Destroyer's minions who were razing what appeared to be a petrol station. The minions consisted of robots (the Americans called them "destroids"), power armor suits ("black talons") and agents with flamethrowers ("flamers"). The heroes possessed great power, devastating their opponents. Most notably, the nude silhouette of a woman finished off much of the minions single-handedly. The man in the blue outfit equally impressed me with his skill at taking down the destroid and black talons. Another man, called "Sand Crab" used earth powers to entangle the flamers, and a mysterious shot defeated the last one. I ended up fighting side-by-side with Cypher and a feral African woman whom Cypher called "Wild Thing". Wild Thing seemed overmatched, or perhaps her luck ran out. Cypher's swarm of robots seemed handy, mostly due to their quantity. I await to see whether or not Cypher's creations are equal or surpass my homeland's engineering. However, Cypher was the friendliest and most trustworthy of this gaggle of Americans as he assured the others that I was on their side.
 
My proudest moment of the battle was felling a "destroid" with a flying spin kick as it fell from the sky. A voice erupted loudly from the building above referring to my action as "hot." I think the Americans use that term for something "sexy". I guess it's some kind of compliment although I am presently unaware of the source or its motivations. This group of American heroes certainly has a variety of powers and talents, but some are certainly more powerful than others. None of them can speak Chinese, which is disappointing but to be expected given the quality of American education even before Dr. Destroyer's rampage. Still, I appreciate the Americans for their willingness to fight by my side.
 
What does trouble me is what exactly happened to the Ancestor and the ritual. I must investigate further. Perhaps these Americans know what happened. They have offered to take me to their base. It is interesting that there is an African on their team. It seems I am not the only foreigner in this place. Cypher tells me that the silhouette-woman can speak Chinese. Good to see that there is someone on their team who knows high culture.
