Episode 30: Final battle, part 1

-

Okida gave an impressed whistle.

Apparently, G.U.N had made a few advancements in Mech designs while he had been away. Three repair stations stood before him, each one over fifty feet tall and housing a Walker of nearly equal size. The repair stations themselves were new, a collection of scaffolding and vehicles underneath that reached up the side of the machines to do work on the highest reaches. When he left, the walkers had been small enough for them to sit down for technicians and mechanics to do work, but this was a whole new generation of robotic machines. And what a bunch of machines they were!

"Not bad eh?" A voice asked from beside him. Okida cast a glance there to find a technicians standing there gazing up at the Walkers with admiration. He was young, hardly even eighteen; probably even less. His eyes were bright blue and hair chocolate brown, most of it hidden under a bright orange cap. "And these are all for you Major." He added after a moment, handing the vampire bat a clipboard with a requisition slip on it. Okida chuckled to himself at the thought of those additions and nearly started drooling.

"Kid in a candy store." Topaz remarked flatly, joining her superior officer's side as they approached the Walkers, which stood rigidly to attention even as the work was still being done on them.

"This is the G-001: Codename Anubis." The technician announced, gesturing to the Mech on their far left. Okida gazed up longingly, his eyes almost watering at the sight of it. This Walker was suited for desert combat; its armour painted in military gold and brown. It had the basic shape of the Yahger, but was sufficiently wider with more weaponry on the side arms and on the shoulders. The front was flat apart from the cockpit that stuck out in the middle with a large piece of metallic armour shielding the underside. Its legs were Bi-pedal and had extra armour, every joint protected by interacting metal plates that probably weighted a ton. This was obviously a firepower based walker and not designed for speed. On top of its body was a sheet of armour that slid down to protect the top of the cockpit and this was apparently what gave the machine it's name; two pieces of metal shot out the top like dog's ears, resembling the Egyptian god of the underworld. "It doesn't move too fast, but it's the strongest firepower Mech the G.U.N army has the moment." The technician directed their attention to the machine gun turrets on either side of the shoulders between the missile launcher pads. "And the latest effort of the boys down in experimental engineering, the laser cannons." There were two more turrets on the front under the cockpit. G.U.N had tried to perfect the laser as a practical military weapon for years but found the technology tricky to duplicate. Only recently had their technicians been making any headway with it.

"For those of you who prefer Stealth to confrontation, we present to you the G-002: Nova." The Walker in the middle was obviously an evolution of the Raptor, the sleek design with long bi-pedal legs without heavy armour was a dead giveaway. But there were also many differences to make it more then unique. Its centre body was far more streamlined and painted in jungle military colours, a blurred mixture of greens and black. The feet had claws instead of a flat surface and looked like those of a bird, capable of grasping objects and even lashing out with them. The big new edition to the design was the pair of laser cannons concealed at the front. This Walker was clearly very fast and with a minimal radar signature. If it didn't kick up a ruckus, it could get behind enemy lines and be causing no end of grief before anyone knew it was there.

"Not bad." Topaz remarked, giving the Mech a look over. "You mind if I have this one? I did alright in the Raptor Mech." Okida nodded once.

"It's all yours. Just don't break it. These cost a lot of money." Topaz managed a short grin.

"You'll like this last one." The tech told the Major was they approached the last repair station and the Mech Walker therein. Okida cast a glance up at it and immediately saw that this Mech was off a complete new design. This had four legs like the Turtle Walker but was clearly not an artillery based weapon. It was far too streamlined for that. "Its armour is bullet proof, missile proof and has an extremely high impact tolerance against laser rifle fire." The technician went on as the Major slowly approached the machine, fascinated by it. The folded sheets of metal on its back, when he got close enough to see, were wings. The cockpit was at the front and concealed behind two slanting pieces of metal that angled forward like a bird's beck. "Yes Major, it's a flying type Walker they came up with about a weak after you left. We call it, G-003: Albatross."

Morning was quickly making its way towards the present time and it had been agreed they would attack the Armageddon station at dawn. The sun was already beginning to brighten the sky from beyond the horizon. It wouldn't be long now before it was time to the curtain to rise.

Sonic would be lying if he said that he wasn't nervous. Fact of the matter was, just about anything could happen today. That Station could destroy everything he had fought so hard to protect and much more and it was in the hands of a being that had tremendous power of his own and wouldn't hesitate to use both to decimate everything in his path.

This was going to be the toughest battle of his life thus far and that fact refused to let him throw off the anxiety that he usually could. The facts and reality stung at him mercilessly, refusing to leave him alone. Eventually, he found himself doubting that their efforts, all of their combined might was going to be enough to stop the Destroyer.

Even though it was still an hour before dawn, Sonic could tell it was going to be one of those hot days where the air had no breeze and stagnated around you. Great, so even the weather was trying to make him feel uncomfortable now? That was just what he needed now.

Grunting, he peeled back the bandages from around his head and chest. Mobians naturally healed far faster than humans, but he was pushing it a little. His ribs hadn't quite repaired themselves yet and gave him a little discomfort. He decided to leave the wrappings on his arms and legs for a while longer. They gave him that bad boy, rugged look. If he was going to save the world, or die for it; the least he could do was look good doing it.

He hadn't seen either Shadow or Metal Sonic since late last night. The robotic hedgehog just seemed to disappear off the face of the Earth and the last time Sonic had glanced Shadow, the black and red hedgehog had had the rarest of things on his face; a smile. Shadow never smiled of his own free will, so what exactly had cheered him up so much?

"Sonic. Can I have a word?" Looking back, the blue hedgehog saw Knuckles approach him. The Echidna had been busy helping Tails introduce the Master Emerald back into the Energy core of the Blue Typhoon without having a major blow out in the process. Without Eggman to help them it was a tricky business.

"Sure what is it?" He asked, looking confused at Knuckles' suddenly serious expression.

"If….If I…. I don't make it today…" Knuckles started with a very straight face. "I want you to return the Master Emerald to Angel Island." Sonic sighed loudly.

"You're not going to die Knuckles." The blue hedgehog told him. "You're the fifth person who's come to me with a last request in the past three hours."

"Do you really expect any less from us?" The Echidna asked with emotionless eyes, fixing Sonic with a stare. Sonic remained still for a moment, before shaking his head with a sigh.

"No I guess not."

Big as usual, either completely oblivious to the coming danger or not caring, was sitting on the ground a short distance away from the rest armada trying his luck with a new lure. What he had failed to do nowhere was pick a suitable place to start fishing. It looked very doubtful he was going to find any big fish in a pond. Froggy seemed to like it though, leaping off Big's shoulder to swim around in the cooling water.

The ammunition fell into place with a satisfying click and Omega spun his barrel shaped arm around to test it. All missiles and bullets used up during the past battle had now been replaced and the new upgrades G.U.N had equipped him with seemed to be perfect working order.

"Remember, you're not a machine designed with flight in mind." Chris told him, checking the small Jet engine on the back of the battle android was fixed to the metal shell properly. "This'll only keep you in the air for a whole five minutes before you'll have to land again for the engine to re-charge."

"Acknowledged." Omega replied with a short nod before walking off, his metallic footsteps shaking the floor a little. Sam smiled briefly. His nephew really was good at all this science stuff, in fact he was getting to be as good as Chuck at it. Speaking of which, Chuck himself was still at the microscope examining pieces after piece of that organic sample Sonic brought him. Jailos their Black Arm friend was asleep in a chair nearby. She'd been trying to help Chuck find some kind of weakness in the Destroy's cellular structure they might be able to use to their advantage. So far, their efforts had gone without reward.

"You should get some sleep Chuck." Sam told the old man, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Before the fighting starts and it gets too noisy."

"Right now, sleep is the last thing on my mind." Chuck replied leaning back from the microscope for the first time in half an hour. "There's something hidden here, I just can't see what. It's hidden in the genetic coding, something obvious that I'm overlooking." He groaned up towards the ceiling. "If only I'd paid more attention in Biology class then I'd have it by now." Sam let him be after that. Everyone needed something to keep them going, at least until the actual fighting started. It was their way of dealing with the inevitability of a fate they could not escape. The question of whether they would live or die seemed to be alive in the very walls of the Blue Typhoon and in everyone's eyes. They were simply asking the question every second even without opening their mouths to utter the words.

Tails found Cosmo outside on the deck of the ship looking up towards the sky. No breeze appeared today so her hair hung lifelessly around her shoulders. Her back was to him and he couldn't see her face. Slowly, he approached and the second he put a single foot forward she turned around. The expression was unreadable, flat and emotionless. The young fox drew his foot back and stood there before her without making a single sound.

"Why didn't they listen to me Tails?" She asked after a moment. The young fox raised an eyebrow. "I can't help thinking that perhaps if my family had listened to me when I first told them of the visions then perhaps all this could have been avoided." Tails didn't reply to that. He wasn't sure how to. He did open his mouth to say something, but as not a single word came to mind he shut it again. "I was given the visions and images for a reason. I'd give anything to know what it is." So far, all she had been able to do was warn people of impending danger and even that hadn't been enough to stop all this from coming to pass. Her first thoughts when the first visions made itself known to her had been for the seer to travel to Earth and prevent the darkness from ever rising. Now, she reasoned out, she knew she was never meant to do that.

If being a warning had not been her purpose, then just what the hell was it?

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you Cosmo." Tails stated suddenly and on impulse. The green haired seer looked up in surprise at the comment. The young fox stood there with the most serious expression he had on his face. "I'll protect you no matter how strong Krish is." There was silence for a moment, before Cosmo shook her head.

"You can't win."

"I don't have to." Tails replied. "Just do enough to make sure you're alright. That I promise." Cosmo stood there with wide eyes, surprise plain on her face before the sparkling beginnings of tears collected in her eyes. Without a word, he let herself drop into Tails' arms and she quietly sobbed. Tails just held her there, his arms around her shoulders.

At the present moment, what else could he do?

-

Vector reared his head back and let out a tremendously loud bleach, one of such magnitude that it shook all the tables in the Blue Typhoon's cafeteria. Several glass cups fell off surfaces in the kitchen area with a loud crash. Espio sat there with wide eyes for several seconds; one hand holding a fork and another the salt. Charmee had been scarred out of his skin and was hiding behind Rei, who after a second started clapping.

"Nice…I've always though global warning came from factory and traffic emissions. Turns out it's just the gaseous bowels of our leader here!" Vector smacked the flying squirrel around the back of the head as he cleaned the end of his snout up with a napkin.

"Just where is everyone else?" The crocodile asked, trying to change the subject; looking around the cafeteria and finding it empty apart from Chaotix themselves and sitting at the far side on his own, Fang. The weasel was sitting up rigidity to attention; caught off guard by the thunderous sound. His hands shaking slightly. "Isn't anyone hungry?"

"After that, I'm not sure I am." Espio remarked, placing his fork and salt back down at the table and pushing his plate away from himself.

"Been years and his manners haven't improved the slightest." Fang muttered to himself, remembering Vector's control of gas had been just as poor even when he himself was a member of the agency. Loosing his appetite, he pushed the half finished bagel away from himself and made do with the bottle of alcohol, taking a very long swig. To undertake something like this, there was no way you could be sober. If you expected to charge into battle where the fate of the world was at stake and your own life, it was better, in Fang's experience; to be pissed out of your mind.

He and Espio had said nothing concerning the vendetta. There wasn't much left to say in any chase. It didn't matter right now and when it did, few words would be passed between them.

"What I can't get over is Okida letting us have that Spider Mech in the hold." Beck began, tapping his finger on the table. Once the Major heard the President was to hand over some new Walker's to Freelance Division, he simply let Chaotix borrow the mechanical spider he took from the Machine Federation. In truth, he was quite glad to be rid of it, being nearly scared to death of spiders. By now, the news of his phobia had spread and quite a few of them were laughing behind his back.

"Yeah…but do any of us know how to pilot the damn thing?" Espio asked with levelled eyes. Vector looked like he was about to answer, thought about it, then shut his mouth.

"Wait." Rei began, his expression suddenly turning troubled. Slowly, he stood up and turned to face the window to his left. From here, he had a direct line of sight to the Armageddon station. From the outsider observers view point, everything appeared to be perfectly normal. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the scene at all. "There's something wrong." The squirrel persisted, putting a hand to his head. Chaotix knew this. Rei had the power of precognition and often it warned him of impending danger.

"Hey Look!" Charmee cried out, jabbing a finger. The ground just below the giant station seemed to be moving.

"Krish is attacking us?" Sonic exclaimed in utter surprised. Rolling towards them was a swarm of insects, each one about twice the side of the average tank and perched on top of four bi-pedal legs. Like spiders they swarmed towards the armada, pincers held out at the front, ready to slice at anything that moved. Clearly the Destroyer was attempting to by more time to repair the Armageddon. He was going to let them waste their time fighting these things and by the time they were done, he'd open fire with his Eclipse Cannon and wipe them out.

The ships were signalled to take off and they quickly did so, rising up above ground level. The Egg Fleet ships under the command of the Giant Wing floated up as well and quickly the entire armada was above the reach of the drones.

Which it turned out had been exactly what Krish had wanted them to do. As soon as they reached a certain height, a barrage of intense laser fire lashed out at them from the Armageddon, bombarding nearly every ship in the armada, several Egg fleet cruisers catching fire and exploding almost instantly. As if that hadn't been bad enough, it turned out the drones below had a trick of their own. Their backs flew open with a spray of organic matter and insect like wings shot out. Like bees they took to the air, shooting up towards the fleet.

Commander Rikoye signalled with one hand and instantly the ships released their Dragon fighters, the genetically engineered life forms soured on to meet with the predecessors units head on. The Dragons were far more advanced and faster, designers specifically for warfare while the Drones were used mostly for repair work and defence. The flying reptiles tore into them with ease, shredding through the combination of flesh and metal. As soon as they did however they crashed into the laser fire from the station. It struck down a few and the others soured back to a safe distance.

"Is that the best that station can do?" The President asked, wondering if the battleship deserved the title' Armageddon.'

"Unfortunately no." Rikoye replied.

The Station, the side facing them at least, began to pull itself open, the colossal walls rearing up and arching backwards to reveal a large arched pit inside. With a loud groaning, a large metallic needle lanced out fro the middle with its tip glinting brightly in the sunlight. Slowly, the station rotated around to the needle was pointing directly at the armada. "Prepare for evasive action." Rikoye announced and suddenly a high impact blast soured out from the needle and screamed towards the fleets. There hadn't been any warning at all, it had just simply fired. And it kept firing blast after blast, striking hard against ships, sending several cascading down towards the ground in flames.

"Woah that's hot stuff!" Sonic exclaimed as the Blue Typhoon soured towards the front of the armada, Tails at the helm, trying to get close enough to the Armageddon to let the blue hedgehog jump on. But with fire power of that magnitude against them it seemed impossible. They had to keep this distance or risk being blown out of the sky.

With a shockwave following behind it, a blur shot across the Typhoon's bow, drawing the fire of the station towards it. The Mech flying past them was unlike anything G.U.N had conceived before. It had the basic body shape of all their other bi-pedal walkers, but this one had huge wings on either side with a jet engine at every joint. It resembled a jet place rather than a Walker.

"I'll keep it busy. You just get in close." Okida told them over the communications system as the Albatross soured out, shooting through the air at a staggering speed. The Armageddon tried to shoot it down, but even the giant station's weapons weren't fast enough to score a direct hit.

Krish watched from the command centre of the station as the Blue Typhoon drew closer, pulling away from the fighting engaging the other ships. The drones were serving their purpose, keeping the fleet pinned in one location long enough for the stations plasma weapons to get a lock on, but to finish the job required a little more muscle power. His red eyes narrowing, he lifted his left hand over the central command console and instantly the ancient machinery blared to life.

"What the heck?" Sonic exclaimed, darting out onto the front deck of the ship as the Armageddon began to move again, a thin piece of the wall at its middle slowly opening up to reveal a good hundred runways that projected outwards with one sudden thrust. Instantly thousands upon thousands of flying machines came launching out and flying towards them. An entire armada of small fighter drones, two sets of bat like wings keeping them souring through the air. Similar to the drones in that they were part mechanical and part organic but were shaped more like the Black Arm Dragons.

The mass majority of their numbers soured past the Blue Typhoon and carried on towards the fleet to aid the other drones engaging the ships. At least thirty of them descended upon the Blue Typhoon and started attacked the Egg Shield surrounding it with vicious clawing and biting.

"They can handle it; we've got to get to that Station!" Tails remarked, pouring the Typhoon into overdrive and rocketing towards the Armageddon as Okida's Albatross mech did a flip in the air and soured back towards the fleet.

"Here." Shadow began, tossing a small device to Sonic, who nearly didn't catch the thing. It was an earphone of some kind with a microphone that swung around on the front. Shadow was already wearing one in his right ear. Sonic nodded and quickly attached to his own ear. From it, he could hear Tails giving orders from the bridge.

"I'm going to get as close to the Station as I can without being hit by the weapons, but the rest is up to you guys."

"Roger that." Sonic replied. There was a sudden loud thud and the two hedgehog's looked back to see Metal Sonic rise up from a crouch behind them. The Drones outside the shield tried repeatedly to crack it open and all the robotic hedgehog did in response was raise a hand towards them. Several energy bolts leapt from his palm and smacked right into them. The first blew apart in a spray of red while the other two simple caught fire and fell down towards the ground clad in smoke. The others retreated, but not before Metal Sonic's blasts brought down several more of their number.

"We're ready, let's go!" Amy began, following Vector, Espio, Rouge and Fang out onto the deck after them. The trap door in the deck slid open and the platform rose up, revealing the Spider Mech they took from the Machine Federation, Beck and Rei at the controls and Charmee inside trying to play the game 'what does this button do?' Omega was standing in front of it, both arms already raised in combat mode.

"You honestly think it's going to be that easy?" Krish asked, watching the Typhoon get closer and closer. One insignificant little ship was not going to stop him.

"The shield will hold for as long I can manage the energy flow." Knuckles told Tails over the intercom from the energy core of the Blue Typhoon. Not only did they have the Master Emerald to fuel the ship, but all seven Chaos Emeralds as well. But even with this tremendous energy backing it, the ship was being struck at by all sides and with Knuckles acting as controller; it was beginning to tax him. Sweat was running down the side of his face as the steady glow from the Master Emeralds started to pulsate.

Throwing the helm to the side, Tails brought the Blue Typhoon almost level with the surface of the Armageddon station. From here, they could appreciate just how large this thing actually was. It was like a twin of the ARK, a second Space Colony. Clouds, even massive thunderheads were breaking over it like water of a shore.

"Here we go!" Sonic announced and then he held his hand out towards Shadow, who nodded once and held his hand out as well.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" The air was filled with green for a moment before all those standing on the deck of the Typhoon disappeared, quite literally, in a flash.

-

The Armageddon was being filmed by news channels all around the world. The fighting was broadcast live on every single channel to the entire world. Scarlet Garcia, the journalist who had had privilege to report on the happenings ever since Doctor Eggman first made himself known was beginning to think that a change in career might be good for her health.

"Our contact in the G.U.N. military has been able to identify this colossal structure here as the Armageddon, a colossal space station that crash landed on Earth eons ago." She spoke into her mike. Her cameraman was having a hard time keeping the camera steady on this ridge some distance from the battlefield. "The ships fighting alongside those of the G.U.N Fleet are vessels belonging to the Black Arms, which we can confirm at this point are beings of Extra-Terrestrial origin." There was no point in keeping the media blackout on Aliens anymore. People were already running around like headless chickens and they weren't that stupid that they wouldn't notice the ships clearly not of Earth origin in the skies above their heads. "And right now we still can't…what the hell is that!" The cameraman nearly dropped the equipment before quickly letting the camera follow her gaze up towards the top of the colossal space station.

A large trap door on the top of the Armageddon swung open and with a loud whirring sound, two doors swing out into the air before finally sliding into place on either side. A lift rose up to take their place and it was then the world got their first view of the Destroyer. Krish was standing directly in the centre of it, fire burning along his shoulders and eyes glowing blood red. Any church going man instantly dropped to his knees and started praying at that moment, confronted with this horned figure with blood red eyes.

The lift carried on rising until it was a good few meters above the surface. From here, the Destroyer could see the ground far below, the mountains in the distance and the fleets before him.

"As you can see, some new being is in command of the Armageddon, at least at first appearances. We've yet to put an ID to it, but we'll provide all the details as they become available." Scarlet stuttered with wide eyes, her gaze never leaving that horrific sight for a moment.

"You honestly think I need the Eclipse Cannon to finish you?" The Destroyer asked, raising a hand spreading his cloven hand out wide. Drawing his arm back, Krish tensing his muscles before throwing it forward unleashing an attack that burnt through the sky like the northern lights and struck with cataclysmic force against the armada. Ships caught at the front were incinerated at once, not even a simple inch of smouldering metal was left to fall to the ground. Those caught in the backlash were sent cascading down towards the ground, hardly able to hold themselves together. In one single blast, the Destroy crippled the fleets. The Egg Fleet was reduced to a pathetic scattering of it's battle vessel and a huge bite had been taken out of the G.U.N forces.

"My god!" Scarlet proclaimed, her camera-man frozen to the spot in horror, even when he dropped his camera.

Krish watched the falling ships with glee.

"I'll destroy you all myself." He muttered between bouts of sadistic laughter. "The Eclipse Cannon's in reserve for your planet." Slowly he raised another arm, calling forth another ball of green fire into his hand.

Tails watched from the Blue Typhoon as the top of the Armageddon began to twinkle like a huge green star. This was impossible…Krish couldn't possible have that kind of power. It was a scientific impossibility.

Cosmo forced her eyes closed. Their ship was directly in the path of the blast, there was no way they could avoid it now. "Goodbye Black Arms it's been fun!" The sky was one again ablaze with green first that burnt and twisted through the early morning air and soured at the Black Arm Mother ship, screaming in desperation to hit and destroy the colossal vessel.

"Evasive manoeuvres!" Rikoye commanded, but by now it was far too late. The ship was too large to move that fast. That blast was going to hit them and absolutely nothing the Black Arms could do was going to stop it. The Black Arm commander shook his head in frustration, before turning to look his coming death head on.

The attack never reached its target.

"What!" Krish demanded as the green fire suddenly dissipated into nothing just short of the Black Arm mother ship; sky above them all was sudden alight with a bright aurora, a twisting mass of colour so bright it lit up the earth as if the sun had risen early.

Cosmo looked up with eyes, knowing full well what this was. There was only one thing that could be, a dimension warp gate and to produce that effect; the gate could only lead to one place. Emerging once again into this dimension came the Queen of Maginaryworld, her wings spreading out wide as she floated through the gateway. Her size was colossal, a giant flying over the surface of the earth like a colossus before finally putting her feet down on the ground, the earth shaking under her footsteps.

And it was then that everything changed, as if some cosmic force had clicked its fingers. Like a tidal-wave striking her head in the face, all of Cosmo's fears and anxieties were swept away and in that single instant. She knew what she was here for. She knew why she had been given the visions and warned of all this before hand.

It was staring her right in the face and had been all along.

She found herself set apart from space and time in some far away place, a place she did not recognise. The floor was made of glass and the walls a dark grey metal, all interwoven with complex machinery. A human was standing before her, at first she mistook him for Eggman; but this one was far older with a grey moustache and a good deal of wrinkles.

"Who are you?" Cosmo asked, looking up at him. His eyes where hidden behind a small pair of dark spectacles and his face muscles tightened into a very Eggman like squint.

"My name is Gerald." He replied simply. "I'm appearing to you now because I need your help."

"My help?" The young seer asked with confused, wide eyes. "For what?" Gerald ran his fingers through his thick moustache.

"Years ago I discovered the truth about those who financed my experiments, and the terrible purpose of the force that controlled them." He began, then hesitated as if unsure of how to continue. "I knew I could never allow such evil designs to be completed, so I set down plans to ensure their defeat even in the event of my own death. On Earth I created Shadow, the guardian of Earth and on Mobius I gave to a dear friend a gift to allow him to fight the evil there. With the worlds now merged as I foresaw, the opportunity for either great good or great evil lies in wait." He sighed out load. "I'm going to be asking a lot of you, but you are the only one who can give the Shade or the Speedster any chance of success."

"Me?" Cosmo asked in an almost hushed whisper. Gerald nodded once.

"It's why you where called." He replied with a short smile and suddenly Cosmo found herself back on the Bridge of the Blue Typhoon and suddenly everything was clear.

"Greetings Destroyer." Illumina began, turning to face Krish; who compared to her in size was miniscule. A moment later, several more from Maginaryworld followed the mistress out through the dimensional gate. A small band of her elite guards, her finniest warriors and all lead by Lumina Flowlight and Void himself.

"Void?" Tails began, looking confused as the small imp like creature dropped down to the front deck of the Blue Typhoon. Void looked back through the glass to the bridge, smiled, before leaping back into the air to tackle one of Krish's drones as he flew past.

All the others did the same, the instant they emerged, they went head to head with the immense army attacking the armada while Illumina herself stood in the presence of the Destroyer. The goddess' size was nothing compared to that of the immense Armageddon but even so her presence on the battlefield threw a huge shadow over Krish's whole plan.

"Queen Illumina." Krish hissed, the fire around his shoulders burning even more intently. "My return to the universe will be glorified if I travel holding your head aloft." The queen managed a smirk.

"I doubt you'd be able to carry my head. You're far too petite." She announced, gesturing to the utter difference in size to them both. Krish snorted loudly.

"Easily solved!"

Holding one hand up, the Destroyer called forth more energy, drawing it down his arm and into his chest. As it gathered, his size began to increase. Slowly at first, the more rapidly he grew; his body swelling up and out. The whole thing could not have taken a few more seconds, but in that time his size quickly rivalled here and then spurt beyond it, showing her superior in size by a good head and shoulders, the tips of his horns piercing the clouds above.

Scarlet grabbed the camera herself when her camera man ran away and filmed the whole thing, her face transfixed in utter shock. What was happening here and being broadcast live to the world was utterly unbelievable.

The Destroyer slid off the side of the Armageddon and landed with a deafeningly loud thud on the ground. Leaving giant foot prints in the ground, Krish slowly marched over towards her, the fire around his shoulders burning like an intense furnace.
