Wedge walked into the room with what looked like a 1960s television and began hooking it up.
While this was concerning to the four Senshi, the images shown bore out the Senshi of Time's earlier comments.
"They are like the Weapons from Final Fantasy VII," agreed Hotaru.
Michiru and Haruka wondered if maybe they should take a look at this game.
Fully 100 feet tall they stood. The one in the lead had a centauroid reptillian body, four legs with a vaguely humanoid torso atop it, and topped in turn by a vaguely humanoid head. All covered in a thick carapace that could apparently take incoming missiles in stride without flinching.
This was obvious because a hornet's nest worth of modern war machines, courtesy of the Greeks and Romanians were making attacks on the lumbering monsters with less effect than a spring rain might have had.
Armor plating morphed away from an oddly circular mouth.
"Uhm," Haruka said as she gestured towards where a beam of light was emitted from the thing's mouth and it swept through clouds of attack aircraft and left only smoke trails behind as it passed. "Question from the back of the room. That thing has an energy attack?"
"Good. It's only Hyperion, we have a chance," said Pluto.
"Excuse me?" Haruka pointed back at the television. "How much power does that thing have?"
"The beam is essentially a focussed laser, I think it would probably register in the hundred megawatt range. See, it can barely melt one side of a mountain." Pluto indicated the screen. "Good range though. Maybe two or three hundred miles."
"What part of this is good?" Michiru asked.
"It's Hyperion. As long as it goes dark he'll curl up in a little ball and go to sleep. One of the weakest of the Titans."
"That's weak?" Haruka asked.
"If one of them reaches their goal, they'll probably try to awaken Typhon. That would be bad," said Pluto.
"I take it Typhon is worse than Hyperion?" Haruka asked.
"In the Greek myths," mused Michiru, "Typhon was sufficiently terrible that he was contained seperate from all the other titans and bound as tightly as he could by Zeus himself."
"Hyperion to Typhon is comparing an anemic puppy to Godzilla," Pluto informed Haruka. "Tuxedo Mask's most powerful, most ultimate level attack is the 'Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber' attack - which is roughly one quarter the power of a 'World Shaking' - yet Earth is a world with life and some of the most powerful mana lines in the solar system. The power that could have raised Tuxedo Mask to the most powerful Senshi in the system is what keeps Typhon slumbering."
Eyes flicked back to the screen. "So," Haruka said after awhile. "When we arrive at nightfall with the other Senshi we can take out Hyperion and that will end it?"
"We can hope," said Pluto. "Otherwise as soon as one is dealt with, another will rise to complete the task until all have been dealt with."
