WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD - Mod Plot [Mission Log Post]

[letsgolegion]

Who| Everyone!
What| Fighting all the threats that Galactus' presence has caused
Where| Mostly on and around Braal, except for Spectre team who will be on Earth
When| After Galactus' appearance and after Nova was put in Medbay

There were a lot of fires for the Legion to put out all at once. While the Legionnaires native to the universe constructed the sun cannon near Braal's sun and prepared to fend off an attack from Galactus, the other teams had to get into place in the many places they were needed.

So far Galactus' siphons hadn't been sunk into the planet yet but it was only a matter of time.

"NO!"

Gohan hadn't gotten the chance to read up on everyone's powers before they intercepted Stardust. He'd been so distracted by everything involving Galactus, that he simply hadn't thought about it. As such, he only knew their powers based on what he was seeing right now, at least in the case of Kon and Tadashi. In the case of Alexander though, Gohan had been completely blind...

Which was why everything suddenly went red for him.

"You..." He just saw Stardust kill an innocent man. No regret, no remorse, just sheer satisfaction as she killed him in the name of her master. She hadn't even given it a second thought, hadn't even considered that taking a life was wrong. She just did it... and in that moment, Gohan saw Stardust for what she truly was.

"YOU MONSTER!"

All thoughts on holding back were gone. All thoughts on fighting a challenging opponent pushed aside. Gohan felt the dam within him break, and in that moment, he felt white hot rage as his aura exploded around him. He wasn't thinking as he flew right at her, wasn't thinking as he landed a super-powered punch on her while surrounded by energy. All he wanted to do was hurt her. Again. And again. And again.

At some point, his punches knocked her into just the right position for the drilling machine to be used. That had been enough for Gohan to regain some of his senses, even if it was for just a moment. He still wanted to hurt her, to see her dead for what she did. But he'd recovered just enough of his senses to know that he didn't have the power for that...

Not alone, anyway.

"YOU THINK YOUR STUPID POWER COSMIC IS ALL POWERFUL? THEN SHOW ME!" He cupped his hands to his side then, floating a ways away from Stardust. The drilling machine a ways behind her, as he hopefully kept her attention on him. He didn't care how it happened, Stardust wasn't gonna be hurting anyone else. And as a blue sphere of energy began to gather in his hands, it was obvious that he wasn't playing around anymore.

"KA... ME..."

Tadashi cried out in horror as Alexander flew into the black hole. He'd read up on the team, he knew that Alexander's power was supposed to be limited resurrection, but how limited? Was it something that could take care of spaghettification?

Gohan acted first, flying in to hold Stardust's attention, and Alexander was gone, and Superboy was busy holding the drill in place. Someone had to activate it. Someone had to help.

Tadashi took off across the broken ground, taking to the air to avoid stumbling and falling. He swung himself into the driver's seat, scanning the instructional diagram and froze.

He'd spent his life building things to help people. He'd spent the last several years designing and constructing a nursebot, and here he was aiming a mining drill at someone's back. No it wouldn't kill her, and yes, she'd just murdered someone in front of him and intended to murder an entire planet-worth of people and then more, but...

The padding on the handles of the machine caught fire and Tadashi recoiled with a yelp. The flames shot up higher, but the padding crumbled away before the metal got too hot to manipulate.

He had to do this. Someone had to do this, and it was him, and this was how he could help.

Tadashi swallowed hard, aimed, and fired.

The beam caught Stardust at just the right angle to avoid harming Gohan. She screeched a horrible, enraged screech as it tore her apart.

Afterward, a cloud of glowing energy hung there in the air. All they needed now was to activate two of their devices and she'd be safely trapped and unable to coalesce.

They'd done it. Now Galactus only had the Surfer as his herald and there was a chance to convince him to lead Galactus safely away from Braal, into the Legion's trap, without Stardust interfering.
