The Mythic Avengers continued making their way through the Sanctuary III. The group split up, with Kentauride heading towards Engineering, Melinoe towards Weapons Control, and Mary Marvel heading to Life Support. While Ken and Mel created much chaos within the ranks of the crew, Mary did the most disruption - Using the power of the Lifebringer, she birthed a giant vine lifeform in the center of the ship, its tendrils snaking through the air ducts to cause damage on a mass scale throughout the ship.
When it looked like the New Army of Light was holding its own, tragedy struck. A giant Boom Tube appeared behind the Sanctuary III, causing gravimetric waves across the entire battlefront. Emerging from the portal was a blackened world, covered in deep volcanic pits. A singular gigantic pit at its rear, propelled it forward, as it spat forth swarms of parademons and hunger dogs to reinforce the lines of the Army of Darkness. Apokolips has arrived.
The fleets of Light were initially overwhelmed by the onslaught, hundreds of ships torn apart before they could reinforce their defenses. The Army of Darkness pushed forward, driving a wedge in the alliance's front lines. Split apart, and struggling to survive, the forces of the Light attempted to strategically retreat and regroup but found themselves outflanked and outmaneuvered.
With parademons spilling into Sanctuary III, the Mythic Avengers were aided by Green Lanterns Guy Gardner and Kilowog in escaping, leaving the starship as Mary's lifeform burst through the hull like a giant oasis in space. Though the flagship of the Dark Fleet had been destroyed, the tide was not in their favor, even with Warworld providing supporting fire against the onslaught of the Fourth World.
Kentauride had the Lanterns send them toward Apokolips to seek out Darkseid and end this once and for all.
