Chapter Six : Finite Finale

" Back on Earth, the situation became rather hopeless . New York , New Jersey , the capitol , most of Canada and Mexico were all annexed by the invasion . Hundreds of millions of people lost their lives as the towering war machines trampled their forces , taking the civilians and harvesting their blood , spraying the gory concoction onto the surface .

'However, in Central Park , Upper Manhattan , things seemed a bit more hopeful ........... Or , so I thought. "'

''The Mortaxans began to celebrate, though in a grim manner as the Heart Of Darkness' timer was repaired , arming their weapons to protect the machine. What they hadn't known was that Misty had escaped the bubble, taking Blue and White with her , though not reformed as yet .''

" You fuckers want my planet ? Take it !! " she shouted as she charged into the aliens, all of them shooting their weapons at her , missing at every shot .

''With the Diamonds' glowing gemstones in her hands, she chucked them in the air , with White Diamond , in a brilliant glow , already diving into action. Her new form was much more elegant than her last, but such matters hardly seems important as she viciously ambushed a Tripod , blasting at the titanic monster with a great source of newfound power , pushing the fighting machine onto its back , exploding violently upon impact. Blue Diamond jumped into the fray as she assaulted many of the soldiers with blue beams of light, the same that she used many times before. Only this time, she was fed up and ready to return to Homeworld , therefore angered .''

''Misty ran in over the fountains, unsheathing her sword and preparing to attack , running at full speed. The Cassiopites that had managed to escape the Diamonds were now aiming and shooting at her, but being the athletic powerhouse that she is , none of them managed to even graze her skin. With a swift motion, three of the soldiers were decapitated , their bodies slumping to the ground .''

''" Just gotta hold out until they come back . ", Misty mumbled to herself. To her surprise, a Cassiopite lunged at her but was rather clumsy , falling right onto her sword at the midriff. Looking back, Misty bent down to dodge a heavy hit from a stealthy one , reeling back to kick him in the face , caving in his skull on impact before throwing the impaled Cassiopite onto another charging group .''

Coming onto a Mortaxan, dealing with the Black Hole Generator , Misty viciously kicked him in the head , killing him , then jabbed the sword into another soldier's back , picking him up and flinging him away , bloody and writhing in pain .

''Intense with fury, Misty ordered the Diamonds to deal with the Heart Of Darkness before its timer turned on. Seven minutes until it does. Twenty until the world ends .''

''Speeding through space, massive fleets of Quasars were dispatched and began to shoot at the three almost instantly. The scouting ship managed to dodge several of them, with Rigel at the''

helm, flying the machine .

''" Watch out ! " Steven shouted as they almost collided with the Mothership, pulling up , only just barely scratching the surface of it before doubling back and shooting their full barrage of ammunition at the fighters. Brandon shot again and missed, then again , missed. again. Missed. They were too fast for him to aim. Seeing how they almost seemed to be taunting him, Brandon became irritable again .''

''Rigel flew towards Luna, whizzing about its equator with seven Quasars following him. The air in the ship was clammy with anxiety as one of the fighters accidentally clipped one of the crater's walls, exploding on impact with the ground .''

''Banging on the weapons, Brandon shot lasers , missiles , but no fruition. He was intent on getting back his wife. His planet. Earth was his home for years. Now these aliens wanted to take it away from him. From them. And what about the billions of people ? If the weapon goes off, The Diamonds would just take them along as they escaped but , all those people. They would die, just that. Gone .''

''He stopped himself as he realized Steven and Rigel bickering over the controls, making the ship jerk about. The inky blackness of space was littered with the Cassiopites' dropships, as they once more turned towards the Mothership. The titanic ship was aiming at them and its massive weapon was charging up. The fighters fell away as the three were blasted into oblivion .''

''Throwing his crumpled body aside, Misty dashed onto a downed Tripod and jumped into the air , shooting two grappling hooks at a couple of Mortaxans , flipping midair and landing back onto solid ground with the soldiers' mangled bodies under her feet. Bloody and tempestuous, Misty stood and noticed a full militia of Cassiopites dashing towards her. Calculating a plan, she ran into them , throwing her sword at the lead one , and as he caught it , jabbed her elbow into the monster's chest. The soldier was prepared however, pointing a gun at her arm and shot the full barrage into it .''

''Screaming in anguish, Misty punched the Cassiopite as more of them came by , knocking him out and pushing herself backwards , trying to grab her slipping mind. One came around and punched her as she tumbled back, losing a tooth , still , Misty jabbed him in the chest , ripping out a rib bone and kicking him in the knee. Two more swung at her, but jumping away and doing a split close to the ground , Misty barrel rolled as several more swung but missed .''

Two minutes, Misty thought .

''With one of the Cassiopites going for her back, Misty dove out of the way and shot her grappling hook at him , Misty used her good arm ( because the other was broken ) , to Fling the soldier into another as one more punched him by accident. They were essentially beating each other at this point. Misty elbowed one more and pulled his spinal cord out, whipping the other in the head with it. With most of the soldiers dead, Misty pulled out her dagger and called out to the Diamonds , disappointed to find them poofed again , with their gemstones in the prison bubbles .''

''Breathing heavily, hundreds more beamed down as one of them , much larger than the others , towered Misty by twenty feet. Turning slowly in fright, Misty shouted as the immense monstrosity beared down onto her , breaking her other arm and nearly tearing the other off. " The timer is ready . This planet has mere minutes to live . " A Mortaxan said, before being crushed by a car. Two more were thrown at them as Yellow Diamond, Adalene and Spinel as well as a handful of army soldiers came into the fight. Misty was relived as Yellow charged into the thing constraining her, with Spinel and Adalene helping her onto her feet .''

" We must hurry . " she said

The two nodded .

''Warping into the Mothership, Brandon , Rigel and Steven were all screaming as they thought they were dying , but , no , they were alive ! Opening their eyes, they saw that they were in fact alive .''

" Wait, Steven , you snagged a teleporter ?! You mean we could've just beamed here ?!!!!!! "

Steven hesitated to answer as guns were pointed right at them .

''" Oh man, we're in trouble . " he said. Brandon said nothing. He just stared at her. Spica, she was alive. But also, Andromeda. She had her on her knees as she taunted them, ordering her soldiers to pull away. Steven and Rigel were still restrained as Andromeda threw Spica to him, making a loud bang sound as her body hit the floor noisily. Still, Spica was smiling at him through a mouth of blood and broken teeth .''

Brandon immediately lunged for Andromeda as his blood boiled from sheer rage .

''" What have you done to her ?!!!!! " he shouted. Andromeda laughed .''

" Oh, you fragile , incompetent little bug . I was just making things right between us . Two wives , loving and tender with each other . "

Brandon took no time, bathing one of the Cassiopites with fire as Steven helped Spica out of her constraints , with Brandon swiping a teleporter and throwing it at the ship's wall , creating a hole that sucked out a few unfortunate souls into the vacuum of space before using another to beam all four of them out of the ship .

Andromeda said nothing .

''Beaming on the outside of Central Park, The four landed near the gates as Spica hugged Brandon lovingly the entire time. Brandon cried tears of joy after retrieving his wife from that tyrant in space, showering her in kisses. Then an explosion happened, bringing enlightenment as Yellow Diamond's gemstone landed in Steven's lap. , smoking .''

''" Shit, " Spica said , startled. " Where's the others ?"''

Brandon took he hand and motioned for the others to follow him .

Three Minutes :

In a rather frantic flurry, Brandon brought a massive wall of fire as Spica , Spinel , Adelene , Steven and Rigel charged for the Heart Of Darkness , whose timer was only three minutes away from swallowing Earth whole .

Spinel lunged for on of the Cassiopites, swinging him about and throwing him into the air before diving back to allow Brandon to attack one of them , melting his head between his hands .

Spica jumped onto the titanic soldier, twisting and snapping his neck before lunging at another , jabbing him in the throat .

Thirty Seconds :

Fighting the soldiers, Spica was pinned under one of the soldier's arms , as Misty helped her out of the entanglement before running to the Heart Of Darkness ,

" Hurry, Misty , we have no time !!!! "

Misty and Spica dashed for the machine, and Spica was gaining on it ......

Ten Seconds :

Andromeda then lunged forward, kicking Misty out of the way and ......

''In one fatal motion, without even saying a word , Andromeda impaled Spica in the back through the chest. Shouting in pain, Spinel , Adalene , Rigel and Steven looked back upon the devastation. Misty had watched, wide-eyed and terrified. The army men gazed in disgust and horror, but ..''

''Brandon, he looked back. When he looked back, his entire world fell apart .''

 The End : 

Andromeda smiled a violent, horrific smile as she ripped the sword out of Spica's back , letting her body fall to the floor .

" No, noononononononono !!! Adalene shouted as she , Misty , Rigel and Steven ran to her body . Brandon held his head , then screamed as he blasted a fire so hot that it appeared blue instead of red at Andromeda , but at the last second , she beamed away .

Spica tried desperately to hold onto her lifeforce as her body laid limp on the ground, her blood pooling into a dark , tarry puddle as everyone ran towards her .

''The Heart Of Darkness was activated, shaking the ground as the machine glowed red and levitated , slowly growing stronger as the black hole formed , creating a horrific screeching sound like that of strong wind as it expanded high in the sky. Several human soldiers were sucked up into the superweapon as concrete peeled away from the ground and trees were ripped away .''

''Running over to Spica's body, Brandon propped it up onto his lap as everyone gathered around , perhaps for the last time. Misty then hugged Spica's lifeless body and began to cry bitterly, holding on .''

''Spreading to envelope the entire sky, The superweapon widened over the entire state and continued to do so as tornado sirens sounded , alerting people of their inevitable deaths ahead. With all the Cassiopites gone, the Tripods fell limp as their pilots also beamed. The ground began to give away as windows shattered, skyscrapers were sucked into the massive black hole looming overhead , cars , waters , the rivers themselves were being sucked in as well as people looked in horror. Screams were snuffed out as the pull became so much that the ground was peeling away .''

''Spica was gone, along with everything else , she too was taken in by the Heart Of Darkness as well. Holding on for dear life, Brandon and the others embraced while drifting closer to death's eye .''

''Just then however, a ship pierced the devastation and landed , seemingly unfazed by the black hole's pull. A traction beam then glowed. Looking about, Brandon , Spinel , Adalene , Misty and Rigel were all inside the ship , gazing at this robotic female as she flew from the planet .''

''In space, the destruction was real , as the Heart Of Darkness grew larger than Earth itself and was seen tearing the entire planet apart , until nothing remained , the atmosphere being peeled away , then the multi-layered insides of the planet. Then it was gone. Earth's lonely moon remained as the black hole immediately disappeared .''
