Twilight of Throneworld
Since his universe had ended and this one had begun, Galactus had fed. His hunger had driven him, given him cause and purpose throughout the universe, in a way that the mortals who inhabited it would never understand. He did not feed out of malice or even joy, he simply fed. They tried to give motivations for him, but he was beyond their understanding, as necessary an element to the cosmos as Eternity and Death, the balancing point between those two extremes.

His feet touched the ground of Throneworld, and the whole of the populace seemed to tremble in fear. Sharra and K'ythiri were called out for, but the gods of the Shi'ar would have no place here. Here was only the Great Devourer of Worlds. Here was only Galactus, assembling his terrible machine with which he would consume the lifeforce of the planet.

Galactus was.

Help the others with the machine and the robot, Rachel told Misha. I've got the big guy.

It was a confidence she'd never felt before. Right now... she felt like she could rip a star in half. Which she wasn't going to do. Because that was bad. And evil. And a whole set of complicated bits of family history she didn't feel like repeating.

She took a deep breath and, against all instincts warning her to do otherwise, let go of the barriers she'd been putting on the power she'd been accessing.

The Phoenix affect could be seen across most of the city, if not further.

	He hasn't been able to do much to this point, Lucas is out of his depth here, unable to even tell if Galactus dreams. But he can, at least, keep an eye on Rachel. His astral form follows in the wake of the Phoenix, remaining near her, invisible and unheard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Galactus saw the coming of the Phoenix and though he was beyond mortal concepts such as fear, was given a moment's pause at the sight. He acted instantly, firing great beams of energy from his eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Phoenix was completely merged with Rachel now, cosmic radiance and power filtered through the powerful psionic mutant. Galactus's eye-beams were blocked by wings of power, before she unleashed a powerful blast of energy in return. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was a sight people would remember always. Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, fighting the Phoenix. And Galactus staggered backward a step. "Starchild," he intoned, "do not force my hand. I have no wish for violence, but Galactus must feed." He fired another blast of energy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There was a well-spring of power and Rachel feared that she was drowning in it. Where did she and the Phoenix begin and end? She couldn't tell.

Galactus's attack pushed her back, nearly shattering her shields.

You will not have this world while I protect it, Galactus!

There was so much power... so much. She struck out with another blast of cosmic flame, staggering the Devourer again. Flamed talons reached out and struck, before another blast of the Power Cosmic shattered them.

Galactus was one of the most powerful beings in the universe, tapping into the Power Cosmic on a level few beings in the universe could ever dream of. But the power of the Phoenix was magnificent as well. He did not doubt in the least--for he was Galactus and above such doubts--that he would prove the victor.

But such a victory would deplete his own energies to potentially dangerous levels. And worse, might well cause enough damage to the planet to prevent him from feeding upon it.

"Hold," he said at last. "Galactus... yields."

	Yield? What kind of game are you playing at Oh God. She was trying to interrogate Galactus. Was she insane?! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Starchild... Galactus does not play games. Galactus operates on a level beyond the understanding of you or your host. But I shall pursue this world no further." He was not beaten, never. But he knew when the tide could turn. "I shall take my leave of this world now... lest our battle destroy it without use." (Reply to this)(Parent)
