Colony Drop
Who: Char, the forces of Zeon (any or all of you who want to contribute), whatever allies decided to show up on short notice, and Viridi's minions as NPCed by her mun
What: Defending Zeon from Viridi's Reset Bomb
When: Dawn on July 2
Where: The skies above Zeon and the sea to the west of Zeon
Warnings: It's a combat log
Aboard the Rewloola - and surrounding it with every airship Char could muster in an hour - Zeon's defense forces array themselves on the predicted course of the nature goddess's meteoric wrath. Higher than anyone normally travels, all guns, bows, arrows, and anything else they could conceivably throw at the incoming Reset Bomb were trained up and westward. Char himself is ready with rifle and Nightingale, as much as those would even help - at the very least he could defend his artillery from any breakaway rocks or defending nature spirits.
"All ships," Char says, his words transcribed into signal flags to communicate with the other airship commanders even as he speaks over his Crystal to his higher-ranking soldiers. "We've sighted the meteor approaching at high speed from the west. All units are to move toward it at full speed and come about once it is within one half mile. Attempt to match speeds with it or safely enter its wake to maintain fire for as long as possible. We have about five minutes on target to destroy it, starting in two from this point. You are to do everything in your ability to grind it into dust before it strikes our homeland. Sieg Zeon!"
That curt set of instructions finished, Char gives to command to his captain to begin the all-ahead-full charge toward the interception point, all the while glaring up at the falling star. Nothing like this will happen to Zeon on his watch, even if he has to create a miracle with his own hands. That's what people like Zeon's do.
((Subthreads finished, go ahead and post to them. Threads below happen in chronological order, though there may be overlap if needed.))

"Everyone on the ship gives it their all. But it's too late. The Reset Bomb restores Zeon to its original state and all the airships crash into the ocean."
The wishful thinking echoes in Palutena's ears just as the final charge from Athrun is released. Again, with unerring accuracy, it bursts straight through the center of the viridian core.
...The core shatters. ...But nothing seems to happen.
1 minute.
A full ten seconds after the core is destroyed, the Reset Bomb shudders... and slows. ...How is it possible? But it slows, indeed, and with a cacophonous groaning, the entire thing begins to shed. Layers after layers of rock... then thorns and forests and wood... then the core itself, bursting into a million brilliant green shards.
It all very slowly crashes down into the ocean, a full mile still from the shore of Zeon.
"NO!"

Troll harder, Palutena?

So much for not having one.
"Do you know how long these things take to grow?! I'm going to have to reorganize my entire plan! ...And don't blame me when the ocean is a miasma of industrial waste and dead fish!"
Every last one of Viridi's troops will take to the air and depart. Humanity has won this battle... for now.

"Good...good. We've done it...we've saved the people of Zeon."

"Sorry to break your toy, Viridi," he says to the air, at least half meaning it. That was an impressive piece of engineering. He turns and walks back onto the deck, putting his hand on the shoulder of Athrun's armor in a gesture of congratulations before making his way back toward the bridge.
"Alright, no standing around cheering. I want a full damage assessment on the way home, and then we can break out the drinks," he orders, suddenly fully back in the captain's role.
