TOTAL ECLIPSO THE HEART [endgame] [modplot] [video]
[The fighting they've done on the planet has accomplished what it needed to. The garrison members that were getting massacred have been able to rally and fight back, bolstered by the Legionnaires and Eclipso has been defeated and permanently cast into the universe that's just a Room With A Moose, instead of being released to be yet another angry angel they have to deal with. Those who were converted into being evil have turned back to their true selves, now that Eclipso is gone, meaning the more dangerous garrison members and Science Police officers (like the Daxamites) are back on their side.]
[And most importantly of all, they've bought time for the engineering team.]
[When Brainy comes on the comms, he's working with other engineers in space, in orbit over Apokolips. They're working on a massive array that's meant to function as a combination boom tube/threshold gate.]
Kid Quantum, we're almost finished the array. Once we are, we can transport Apokolips to the dimensional pocket Valeria, myself, and Merl engineered. The connection the Herald has to the universe those creatures are coming from should be cut off, and we'll be able to block any more incoming boom tubes being used by the Catastrophists, while still being able to bring in more Science Police officers as backup ourselves.
[It'd turn the planet into a trap for their enemies. The monsters currently on the planet could be killed, the Catastrophists and Herald would have no way to leave, while they'd be able to keep funneling in more and more backup.]
Once we've cleared the planet of enemy combatants the dimensional fold should allow us to destroy Apokolips now without risk of it tearing open a hole in time and space like I'd feared. We just have to -
[The Legionnaires will all suddenly feel the ground shaking under them, as planet-sized machinery and engines of lamentation start to operate in Apokolips' under levels. While they won't be able to tell what's happening on the planet, up in orbit Brainy can see it. He looks down at Apokolips and his brows furrow in confusion.]
Somehow Apokolips is...rotating on its axis. They must have some way of controlling the planet's alignment. But why would they -
[He gasps as he sees what's now moving to align with the array, a massive hole pitted into Apokolips' surface.]
ALL ENGINEERING TEAMS, EMERGENCY EVAC NOW! They're lining up one of the fire pits with the array!
[He flies frantically towards the nearest engineering team, trying to extend his shields around them in time, in case they don't have time to reach the gate, hoping that it'll be enough.]
[CHAKOOM! There is a bright light that illuminates Brainy's face from below, as the Catastrophists finally manage to reignite the largest of Apokolips' fire pits. He reaches out his hands towards his engineers...and everything goes white. Brainy's comm crackles and goes out.]
[They can all see it on the planet, the pit reigniting sending a plume of superheated plasma into the atmosphere at a thousand miles per hour. It arcs through the array above in a massive explosion that sends debris raining down on Apokolips - raining down on them.]
[Now they have no chance of blocking the creatures, and more and more of them pour in through holes in spacetime, Now they have no chance of blocking the boomtubes, as Catastrophists keep pouring in to fight them.]
[Now they have no chance.]
[ooc: People can throw as many characters into this as they want. Characters that went on other missions can be handwaved as jumping in right before shit went down]

Re: [voice]
You could've broken your neck, making a jump like that.
[Is that an admonishment to be more careful? A threat? A joke? Who knows with Rico. Either way, perhaps it's in poor taste considering he's standing next to a dead Catastrophist with two broken bones and his head twisted the wrong way around. He turns in the direction of the nearest garrison, opening his mouth to talk -]
[And a massive, twisted hunk of smoldering metal impacts the ground about twenty meters from them, shaking the earth.]
[action!]
Not likely.
[She'll follow orders and try to minimize deaths, but she sure as hell isn't going to disagree with Rico's apparent belief that the Catastrophists need killin', and she spares the corpse no more than a glance to make sure it's not about to get up and attack them again. It's a problem where she's from.
Then more metal falls out of the sky, and Shepard only spares that an annoyed glance, too.]
Time to get moving.
[Her eyes start to glow blue-white as she gets ready to use her biotics.]
Stick close. My barrier's effective radius is only a couple meters.
no subject
You got that right. [he rumbles.] Let's go!
