Editing Behemoth (section)

===Post-[[Echidna]]===
Although he was discussed before, Behemoth's first direct appearance in the plot was in [[Drone 23.5]]. He was detected as he emerged in [[New Delhi]], [[India]]. All available heroes were rushed to the area on Dragon craft making for the highest attendance for any Endbringer battle to date. This included the [[Undersiders]], [[Dragon]] and [[Colin Wallis|Defiant]], [[Weaver]], and even the [[Yangban]]. The Indian [[Garama|"hot" capes]] who attacked him first were quickly and ruthlessly killed. Nearly a dozen Dragon-craft attacked him with containment foam bombs, cryogenic beams, and devices that pulled the ground from beneath him. All of these ultimately failed and he took down several of the craft but drones managed to ionize the air to redirect the lightning. However he managed to free his lightning from this and he obliterated the drones with heated air. Afterwards he destroyed several more Dragon-craft.

As he moved on Behemoth used his lightning to light fires in areas that burn the fastest and cut off evacuation routes. This combined with the fact there was no advanced warning or evacuation meant the hundreds of thousands in the area were nearly helpless. Since only the ultra-durable capes could even get near him any other group of capes was forced to traverse the fire and smoke choked streets. Behemoth continued his rampage with shock-waves, lightning, fire, and even super-heating balls of debris into lava balls to hit further away areas.

Several staging areas were set up throughout the city along his predicted path, the largest one being in the field in front of India Gate. Behemoth continued along his trail of destruction, taking minimum damage despite constant barrages from [[Eidolon]] and [[Legend]]. His lightning was temporarily countered by Weaver's lightning rod but he quickly destroyed this. However "Alexandria" returned and engaged him. She got in a few good hits but he redirected most of her attacks into the ground. And because of [[Perdition]]'s attack on the HQ he plowed through the defensive perimeters with ease.

Meanwhile it seemed [[Scion]] was going out of his way to avoid the battle. Behemoth managed to get close to the command center and slowly tore his way through the defending capes and forcefields with his roar and lightning. Tattletale eventually revealed that Behemoth, and all other Endbringers, were purposely holding back on a tactical and strategic level.<ref>She only grinned.  She reached over to the bedside table and retrieved a pen and notepad.  Her grin fell from her face as she wrote something, then tore the page free, handing it to me.
:he’s going easy on us.  all Endbringers are.  but Behemoth holding back, even from moment he arrive.  taking more hits than he should.
“We already knew that they’re holding back for some reason,” I said.  “The way they space out attacks, they could accelerate the timetable or coordinate their strikes if they wanted to fuck us over.” - [[Crushed 24.3]]</ref><ref name="24.3 eHoldback" /> Behemoth also had a goal in mind, which turned out to be an Indian cape [[Phir Sē]] who was creating a massive ball of energy that took him three days to make.

Once Behemoth reached India Gate he was only delayed after he got pushed into wires frozen by [[Clockblocker]]. He eventually took out "Alexandria" by redirecting her own attack into his fist. Behemoth was then engaged by Weaver, [[Tecton]]'s group, and the Undersiders. He zapped [[Regent]] to death after he used himself as a distraction to save [[Imp]]. Eventually [[Foil]] used her power on a chain, strung it between two of Rachel's dogs, and charged him, managing to cut one of Behemoth's legs off. Then the blast from Phir Sē came along and scraped off several layers of Behemoth.

It was then discovered that the outside appearance of him and all the Endbringers was vestigial and his powers worked as normal. He burrowed away and killed Phir Sē in his underground bunker. Then he moved on and attacked a temple where the wounded were being held, forcing the 70 or so remaining heroes to make a last stand. By the time he decided to retreat there were barely 40-50 heroes left and the area was doused in radiation.

However, Scion arrived just as Behemoth retreated. He used his powers to slightly heal the heroes and remove the radiation, then raced after Behemoth, who was burrowing underground. Scion pulled him back up to blast him with golden light then threw him into the ground. This repeated several times until he tore Behemoth in half. Behemoth tried to turn his remaining chunk into a super-massive bomb but Scion simply disintegrated him, making him the first Endbringer ever killed.
