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 .*
