She just stood there weeping and was cut down by energy bolts. Moments later Freedom Hall was in ruins, explosions from within and from without. The husk of the Hall remains in Freedom Circle in ruins as a trophy to the Star-Khan. |

+ | One of the last heroes to fall was Captain Thunder. His powers increased with his rage at the betrayal of the Star-Khan, and lightning ripped through the invading fleet. Captain Thunder flew higher and higher, destroying all before him, aiming to destroy the Khan’s personal ship, and the Khan himself. Unluckily, before he could reach it ships which were still intact charged him up with pure electricity. The overload of energy ripped the poor hero’s body apart, but the Captain’s will was to strong. Gathering the very powers that had destroyed his body he turned into pure energy and rocketed towards his final destination. | ||
+ | With no physical form the impervious shields and walls could not stop him. Captain Thunder knew he was dieing but he still had one task to do, but the Khan was prepared. As Thunder flew into the bridge the Khan spun round and impaled him on a spear of cosmic force. And so the great Captain Thunder died, attempting to end something which had already finished. But even his death is remembered for as he fell through the ship and space the vast energies he had contained exploded outward, ripping a huge hole in the fleet, as his life finally ended. | ||

Send me back!"'' she cried. <br> ''"Very well,"'' said Mentor sadly. <br> Maria Montoya found herself back on earth and made her way to the freedom league headquarters. She didn't have star knight armour anymore but she was still a crack shot and Bowman elected her his second in command. She was by his side, her rifle empty and plinking away uselessly at a Nova-class assualt rig with her pistol when the final plasma blast came. |

It was a gamble, and they knew it. The [[Freedom League]] was fighting the invasion, and they were losing. They had to try. [[Seven]] began the spell.

Adrian Eldrich was standing on the highest point of [[Freedom City's tallest building]], his magical energy spent from repelling invaders from his home. The [[Star-Khan]] had no truck with magical beings, but in the confusion the lords of the [[Neatherworld]] had approched the Khan and offered there services to remove Earth's mightiest mystical defender. Eldrich had fought a running battle with summoned gollum and demon forces, designed to remove him from this realm. He had felt [[Seven]] fall to a spell that disrupted her innate magical connections, he had heard her scream when the magic returned to her, and she couldn't handle the backlash, the amplified power that the lords reinstated to her. The only thing he could do now was to remove the demons from the invasion, the fight was his, this moment was his, and with all his effort he summoned a portal to the furthest level of the furhest realm that he had visted, and swept all into that dark place. Knowing that the rift could only be welded shut from the other side, Eldrich stepped of the highest point and fell into the rift, mystically sealing it shut. Destined to fight the denizans of the realms forever in that dank mystic realm. | Adrian Eldrich was standing on the highest point of [[Freedom City's tallest building]], his magical energy spent from repelling invaders from his home.
