It was only a minute or so into the fight, but Murrue could already see that she didn't have much of a chance to beat her gigantic opponent. Her best bet, getting in close and trying to subdue Lunamaria while too close for the larger girl to land a strong blow had been repulsed as easily as an adult tossing aside a petulant child. Battered by her impact with the island, Murrue shakily stood in the ankle deep, to her, water, her uniform now wet and ripped all over. Shaking her head to clear her vision, she looked forward as the red uniformed Coordinator girl came closer. She didn't want to use her final trump card, but it seemed like she had no choice. It was now do or die.

A smile on her face, Lunamaria walked through the ocean towards the battered Orb officer. Behind her the island on which this had all begun lay broken and smashed by her hands and feet, shattered into a myriad of ruptured parts. The water barely cleared the toes of the 30 mile tall Coordinator girl as she felt the ocean floor crumble under her weight like so much sand. She could already tell that this fight would not last much longer, and was eager to move on to her next target. Maybe she would destroy the Atlantic Federation, piece by piece? If she walked northeast she could likely reach Panama or California in only a short time, and then the fun would really begin. She smirked as she walked forward, but the smile disappeared when she noticed Murrue reach into her sleeve and produce another vial from the same place she had kept the one she used on Athrun, that Lunamaria had then exploited.

But this vial was not was not the same as the dark green liquid she had produced earlier. It's color was pitch black. Although Lunamaria had to squint to see the small, to her, vial, her enhanced eyesight could tell that this liquid was far thicker than the one from before. Worried by what Murrue might be up to, Lunamaria began running towards the smaller woman, but was too late as the Natural lifted the vial above her head and poured about 1/4th of the thick liquid over her hair.

Murrue hadn't wanted to use it. But she had no choice. She winced as the thick liquid of the Prototype serum fell onto her hair, with an unpleasant feeling, like having crude oil poured over you. The dark green formula she had used earlier was the refined and adjusted form of the growth substance, which had been culled from the special mushrooms. It was adjusted for normal uses. This formula, however, was unrefined and unsafe. It was her last ace in the hole.

The liquid only stayed on Murrue's head for a few seconds before it was absorbed. Almost instantly, Murrue bent over and clutched her chest. Then her body began rumbling. Lunamaria was still about 20 seconds from her, but those 20 seconds would seem to last an eternity. With a speed that surprised both giantesses, Murrue shot upwards, growing frantically. In a mere 5 seconds she was as tall as Lunamaria, her growing feet pulverizing the ocean floor beneath her. In another 5 seconds, she had doubled in size. Now the tables were turned as the 60 mile Murrue Ramius looked downwards in surprise. But she hadn't even seen the beginning of it. Another 5 seconds passed, and Murrue soared up to a massive 120 miles tall. Without even moving, she had crushed a multitude of Islands, and now stood towering far, far over the red uniformed Coordinator who now had a panicked look on her face. But Lunamaria was goign too fast, and was unable to stop. The final 5 seconds passed as Murrue shot upwards into the heavens. Standing at 240 miles tall, Murrue was a behemoth unlike anything ever seen before. Below, forgotten, Lunamaria crashed into Murrue's monstrous shin, which knocked her backwards so that she was sprawled on top of the massive woman's foot. But that was not the end of it.

A look of worry was on Murrue's face. She simply would not stop growing. She had surely by now crushed half of Orb's islands without even taking a step. Until finally, her upwards movement stopped. She was now huge beyond belief, her body towering far into space at a massive 480 miles tall. Luckily, it seemed that one of the side effects of the unrefined formula was that the subject no longer needed to breathe.

Forgotten, laying on a foot larger than she was, Lunamaria looked upwards at the towering Captain, preparing her counterattack.
