Eclipse took notice when Liv looked at Chariot. Just as the beam made contact with her skull, the thing Eclipse put in her head absorbed the light before it could bore into her brain. The beam seemingly left a gaping black hole in her head.
He looked back at Liv just as she returned her attention to him. "As much as I'd love the challenge of breaking it down for your tiny brain to comprehend, I think I'll let that stew as the last question you ask yourself just before you die."
Behind him, a buzzer went off on the machine. The screen indicated that the moon would be in eclipse in ten seconds.
The wolf clung to the side of the machine as it began to warm up. A bright light began to encompass Freya's mother in the crystal.
The three girls that were conscious stood between their master and the intruders.
Eclipse spun around and held his arms up to the machine. He laughed as exhaust fumed from it, causing particles to fly and clothing to billow.
"YES! Finally! No more Daedalus! No More Valhalla! No more of this useless planet! No more waiting! My ascension. Is. NOW!!!"
With one last pull, the wolf removed the panel she had been messing with and punched directly into a cylinders that were acting as a heat sinks.
The machine continued to hum and power up more and more, and more, and more. Eclipse's elation turned to confusion as he noticed the machine was beginning to glow in a very bad way while still about to fire. In the billowing mess he felt something tickle his nose. He wiped at his nostrils with his thumb and forefinger to pull whatever it was away. Just before it blew away, he thought he saw black fur.
"...No. She's-"
He looked up at the machine.
The wolf peeked around the machine and smiled at Eclipse. She gave flipped him the bird with her free hand and made kissy noises at him.
Eclipse didn't have time to act as furious as he was. He only muttered, "That...b***h."
The machine shot the beam of light, but it's intensity rocked the contraption a few degrees off and caused it to miss the first mirror and strike directly at the silo above them. It tore through the structure and began a chain reaction of collapses that started to bring parts of the ceiling down on the hangar.
The machine itself glowed brighter and brighter until if finally exploded and engulfed the room in the light of a thousand suns.
Luna quickly arranged as many orbs around her sister's and master as she could to shield them from the destruction all around.
The wolf leaped off of the machine and threw up her silver aura to protect her from the blast.

Nova Blancke The soldier couldn't finish it's sentence. She wouldn't let him. Plus he couldn't since his mouth and throat would be clogged. Because she literally rammed it down his throat. Only the hand was sticking out. Cassandra had zero chill. **** "Scanner Sty?-" He managed to responded before feeling the impact and his head recoiled because of the impact. Alexavier moved his jaw a bit. "Okay that actually hurt. Not gonna lie. d**k move. Anyway, ya coming?" Alexavier said as he shot off towards the army. Time for some fun.
The soldier stumbled back a few steps and dropped his weapon. He stood in place and clasped at his throat while gagging on the arm in his throat. Not being able to breath was the least of his worries, though, as he felt something else going on inside of him. It was like he was being eaten alive by fire ants from the inside.
His body began to bulge and pulsate as the arm did it's dead. His eyes bulged and fell from his head. Then with one last full body pulse his skin and uniform fell away and around, with a sickening "schlopp" sound, a young man that stood where he once was like a dropped towel.
Damien stood naked and covered in what remained of the soldier's bodily fluids. He rapidly absorbed what was on him and shifted his biomass into the same clothes he was wearing a moment ago, only bigger.
Replicating himself inside the soldier had aged him again. He looked to be a little younger than eighteen. He looked to Cassandra, who he was nearly as tall as, and cried silently for a few seconds.
"I...I didn't want to kill him, buh-butt I had to. I was dying." he blubbered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gidget received Rydia's message. She smiled, because it was time to use the big gun.
Or at least she thought she was until the floating facility stopped in mid flight, causing alarms to go off all around her.
"What the Hell?" she audibly pondered. All systems were showing green. So why weren't they moving?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The subject rolled his eyes and stuck his open hand out in the direction of Valhalla. The facility came to a complete stop, and he mentally called out to Alexavier.
"Dude, I hate being ignored. If you go and screw with those Joes, Imma waste this floating school thing."
He flicked his right index finger and removed one of the hover apertures at the base of the facility, which caused it to rock a bit before Gidget redirected power to compensate. |

Rikki Tikki Travi Alec huffed and blurted out, "You're not useless! How could you even think that? Look at the proof in front of you."
His eyes softened, and he smiled in a way that he never used to over a month ago. It was love and faith. He truly believed in Kerana. Not her abilities. Just her.
"Not only did you bring me back, you wrest me from death himself. You overpowered his grip on me. Yes it was your power, but that's all it is. YOUR power."
"And I can help you. For all his faults, Crosis taught me everything about how we manifest our connection to the source."
"So don't put yourself down anymore, and let's save Valhalla together.""Awww. He loves her so much." dawn sang with a glint in her eye. "Shush! Don't interrupt them." Leo chided. A pink hue overtook Alec's cheeks, but he didn't avert his gaze from Kerana's.
Kerana was looking down with her ears lowered but looked to him when he asked her to she gazed into his softened eyes,ears raised slowly like a blossoming flower as he spoke.
Kerana blushed little as he blushed. She had been so used to sitting on the sidelines while those with power who could do something about it use their power. Now it was she, she was now in a position to do something. Do something to save Valhalla together. “Y-you’re right! I did do all of that huh? Thanks Alec.” She always believed in him, and now he shared just how much he believed in her. Lost in the moment she kissed his lips for real not in a psychic dream date. When they parted she grinned and said, “Let’s go save Valhalla!” with a fist bump in the air. “Um… so… how do I start again? Connecting to the source?”

Alec's was pleased to see Kerana's infectious enthusiasm return. He was about to reply with a "your welcome" when she quite suddenly kissed him. Like before, he was shocked by the affection, but it didn't take him more than a second to welcome it. When she asked how to start, he was still in a bit of a haze.
"Conneck ta wha?" he muttered as if coming out of a dream.
He blinked a few times and cleared his throat, "Ahrm, right. Yes. The source."
"Okay, so, my theory is that since you posses the boon of life, your powers are the antithesis to mine. Two sides of the same coin, right? So anything I can do, you should be able to accomplish the same so long as all the conditions are met."
"For example: I know that resurrection is impossible if the body isn't conducive to life. The reason I know this is because as the embodiment of death, Crosis had the choice of taking a life or not. That is, unless they were missing something like a head or heart. In most cases that makes death inevitable."
He realized he was going on a tangent and waved his arms.
"Anyway, we can sense the living and the dead if we concentrate on it. The soldiers attacking us have a pulse, but they are soulless. So I think what you need to do is try and focus on just the people with souls; our friends and neighbors."
The facility shook due to the action of the psychic madman having removed a hover plate. But it quickly righted itself.
Alec stumbled a bit, but he managed to stay upright. He looked over to the siblings that were still watching them.
"Can you guys keep us and the kids safe? We'll try to hurry, but this might take a little bit."
"Of course!" chirped Dawn
Leo gave a thumbs up and confirmed, "Consider it done."
He looked back to Kerana and gave a worried chuckle, "No pressure. Right Kay?"
"Okay. So the trick in the beginning is to visualize things. If you want it, and can do it, it will happen. Close your eyes, and imagine a skyscraper at night. Each office, each light is a person in Valhalla with a beating heart. Then, try to remember how you reached out to Liv just a moment ago. You wanted to see her, to feel her life, her very soul and where it was. Use that feeling, that desire to know, to feel, and turn off the lights that are actually empty rooms."

The subject grinned at Alexavier and released Valhalla. He drawled, "Dude, you're not listening. It doesn't matter what I want. The bossman put his finger in my brain and told me to kill you. If I don't at least try, then it's goodbye head. 'Sides, those Joes didn't do anything. I'm a Daedalus guinea pig. They made me, specifically, to kill you."
"So yeah, you seem cool and all, but I don't have a choice. So it's you or me. Sorry, man."
"But we at least take this where no one else can get hurt. Y'know, like a battle of the minds and stuff?"
The subject projected himself directly toward Alexavier's psyche and created a mindscape for them to do battle mentally. It was the pouring city from Matrix Revolutions. The subject stood opposite of Alexavier in the drenched street dressed like an Agent.
"I know this movie kinda sucked, but there was something so epic about this moment, y'know. Figured it be the best place for one of us to die."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gidget felt Valhalla move again and resumed her calculations. The campus observatory roof opened to reveal the massive telescope inside. With the press of a button, the telescope began to transform itself into something much less innocuous.
What it became was something that looked similar to the dish portion of the Death Star. Gidget quickly input the last set of coordinates and aligned the weapon.
"Just one shot. Please let this work."
The weapon hummed and fired a golden electro-laser. Once target impact was confirmed, Gidget initiated the self destruct sequence for the weapon which caused it's joint and circuits into a controlled explosion that wouldn't harm the rest of the facility.
Gidget looked down at the energy readout. That blast had caused the energy reserves to drop down to 38%. She cursed under her breath. At 30%, they wouldn't be able to move. At 20%, they would be forced to land. and at 10%, they'd be without the kinetic barrier.
"C'mon Princess. We need that dirt."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alec blinked a few times and tried to remember where he'd heard that name.
"You mean the kid that made Crosis freak out yesterday? I think he said Damien was soulless. That'd mean neither of us would be able to sense him this way."
"But, I've got a way to warn him before I release the death shroud. Whether or not he heeds the warning is up to him."
Alec released Kerana's hand and stepped back from their shared vision. He opened his hand upward and in front of his mouth. His eyes glowed as he exhaled slowly and produced an ethereal blue mist from his mouth. The mist took the shape of a ghostly raven and looked attentively to it's creator.
Alec hissed a ghostly whisper in Latin, "Damien, the soulless child, must be warned. Death approaches, and he must flee."
Dawn flashed an uncontrolled blink of light that only managed to blind the soldier that had peaked his head around the corner. Leo quickly followed up with an incapacitating blast of pressure.
"Damien, puer sine anima sunt, oportet monuit. Mors appropinquet, et fugere debemus."
Dawn shuddered and looked over her shoulder to see Alec talking to his empty palm. She raised a brow and said, "Is that boy doing that speaking in tongues thing to his hand?"
Leo glanced at his sister and scoffed, "We just hopped through a portal from an alternate timeline where our world was being eaten by an infinite eyed sky monster, and you think that kid talking to his hand is weird?"
Dawn thought for a moment, shrugged, and went back to her protective duties.
The raven emitted a low gurgling croak and flew off to deliver it's omen. Alec took Kerana's hands again and explained, "You saw the raven, right? It's called a Close Call. It's basically that feeling you sometimes get when you know something bad is about to happen."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From a place unseen by those without a direct connection to life or death, the crow swiftly passed through walls and floors to deliver it's message of doom. Once it found Damien, it circled over his head and gave off a harsh, shrill warning call. Once it had said it's piece, the spectral raven returned to it's misty origins and dissipated to nothing.
Damien had been silently relishing in his mother's comfort when he felt something cause the hair on the back of his neck stand up. It wasn't a psychic reaction. It was something different. That, however, hardly mattered to him. What did matter was the sense of dread that came with the sensation.
He took hold of Cassandra's upper arms and broke the hug. He could feel the cold sweat begin to develop on his forehead as he suddenly uttered, "Mom, something's coming. Something really bad. I-we need to get out of here, now!"

The smoke began to settle, and Luna removed the protection from around her self and the other ne'er do wells. She and the other girls were taken aback by the wreckage that surrounded them.
Eclipse stood up and spun around quickly to assess the damage. His machine was split from the middle. Pieces of the crystal that had acted as the focal point were everywhere. He puts his hands up and pulled at the hair on his head as he cried out, "What. The. HELL?!"
The wolf was cradling her mother on her lap as the dust settled. The woman was unresponsive, but alive. The wolf was surprised, but pleased. She was sure Loke'lonni was be less so.
She looked up and grinned at Eclipse's easily visible spastic anger.
"Y'know what I think happened? You bought that thing from ACME. Bad move Wile E."
Eclipse paced around in circles in a vain attempt to calm himself. He whirled to the wolf and shouted, "How are you still alive?! You were consumed, by the spawn of a pulsating horror!"
He then spun to Liv and continued, "And don't think I don't see you over there, glow worm! You may look and feel ready to blow me up, but lemme tell you something. You're dying. Today! You, the shadow b***h, the old half dead b***h, and the actual b***h. DEAD!
"And once I'm done devouring the four of you, It's gonna be time for plan B, 'cuz I still got the Daedalus satellite up there." he said triumphantly. He pointed up to the sky and looked up just in time to see Gidget's electro-laser pass through something that quickly became a ball of fire.
His eyes went wide, he clenched his fists, and he swore hard and loud enough to shake the building to it's foundation.
"Mother The wolf held her mother closer. She knew from past history to be ready for anything.
Even though Liv had taken in most of the light, Silhouette still felt like she had a sunburn. It was a pain she hadn't felt in thousands of years. She grunted, "Quick thinking. Though next time, should a similar situation arise, please use the light meta as a shield instead of me."
