TOTAL ECLIPSO THE HEART [modplot/log]

Who| Everyone who signed up
What| "Total Eclipso The Heart"
Where| Apokolips
When| The same time as "The Ninth Gate" and "The Gone-Away World"
Warnings/Notes| cw: suicide, due to the Catastrophists MO


Apokolips was intimidating enough when it was bleak and dead but now it's even more of a living nightmare. As Eclipso, Catastrophists, and monsters menace the defense garrison, screams cut through the air the way they used to back when Apokolips' old ruler was alive.

Catastrophists toss themselves into the firepits in droves and smoke starts to rise from them. Somehow their sacrificial bloodshed seems to be doing something to the core of the planet. It groans and strains and the ground shakes as machinery under the surface starts to slowly get stoked back to life.

Some of the Catastrophists even rise into the air while wearing winged uniforms and clash with garrison members capable of flight - Apokolips' old parademon troops, reborn in a new form.

This world is a death engine, and if they don't manage to stop it it from restarting, Chronoblivion's forces will have an entire world to make war from.

The two Legionnaires share more than Zenyatta first realized. Zenyatta had no idea Rico was cloned from another, but to him, it changes little. Rico is still his own person. It gives him context, however. The anger directed towards Zenyatta is actually directed at himself.

Should Zenyatta be concerned for his safety as Rico circles like a hawk ready to swoop on its prey? Absolutely. Is he? No. He's calm. Steady. Still like a placid lake. He'll be the harmony to balance out Rico's discord. Zenyatta will not let himself be intimidated and fall into fear. That can come to him later during reflection and meditation. He files it away now.

"You are worth saving," Zenyatta says simply as a common fact like 1+1=2 or water is wet. If Rico desires the truth and no more questions, then he'll give it to him.

Zenyatta extends a hand toward Rico, and a warm golden Orb of Harmony forms. If allowed, Zenyatta will try to attach his Orb of Harmony to Rico. It will hover to and over his shoulder to provide him an emotional, mental link with Zenyatta; Zenyatta will bring to the forefront positive and calming thoughts in hopes of guiding Rico in that direction.

But if a fight is what Rico wants, then the Orb of Harmony will not connect. It will dissipate into nothing, and Zenyatta will prepare for a battle.

I am worth saving?

If only he knew how wrong he was, Rico thinks. He's saying it as if it's a fact, but Rico knows how empty a thing like that is. Anything can sound true with enough conviction in your voice. And if this was his answer...

The droid needs to be taught a lesson in kindness. Whatever that orb radiates, whatever that gesture means: Rico will reach out and ruin it. That's why he even allows it to come as close as it does. And if it's an attack, it's a poor one. Rico is confident in his ability to remain impervious to it, and doesn't otherwise react when Zenyatta sends the orb over.

The orb's light flickers and dims when it gets within a hand's span of him, and that's when he looks at it sharply like he's reconsidering allowing it in his presence. And for a second it almost looks like it might dissipate before it even touches him, but Rico stays where he is. He has nothing to fear anymore.

And miraculously, it stays.

There's a brief flicker of surprise when the Orb of Harmony connects and stays. He couldn't tell if his words had reached any part of him. He doesn't linger on that surprise, however. The milliseconds of it have their resources redirected towards his task.

Zenyatta focuses on encouraging the positive aspects of Rico's being, things that could shake off Eclipso's influence. He doesn't have to know what those are. Rico is the one who needs to realize his own strengths. Zenyatta is a guide with warmth, tranquility, and empathy. The blue lights on Zenyatta's forehead turn golden.

"Free your mind."

Rico may find the knots in his mind loosening. Thoughts might become clearer, and Eclipso's darkness could begin to recede.
