===Post-Behemoth Defeat===
{{main|Battle against Khonsu}}
The first Endbringer attack following the death of Behemoth was an attack from the Simurgh on November 25, 2011, on Flight BA178; unlike prior attacks, the fight lasted only forty minutes, with little lead-up and no casualties besides the passengers of the plane.<ref name="25.6 eWarp">A fire started on the body of the ship as Eidolon tore into the Simurgh with a reality warping power of some kind, complete with lightning, fire, distorted light, and ice.  The Simurgh cast the craft aside in the following instant, letting it flip, burn and tumble before hitting the water and virtually disintegrating.<br><br>That done, the Simurgh ascended, rising into the clouds.  A few capes tried to follow, but Scion wasn’t among them.<br><br>“How long was the fight?” I asked.<br><br>“Not long enough for Scion to show,” was all Wanton said.<br><br>“Forty minutes?” Tecton asked.  “About forty minutes.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/scarab-25-2/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.2]]</ref> This attack marked a change in strategy for Leviathan and the Simurgh, both of them beginning to use guerrilla tactics.<ref name="25.6 e2"><b>Flight BA178</b>, November 25th, 2011 // Simurgh<br>Notes: Loss?

The most notable development regarding the Endbringers occurred with the appearance of the fourth Endbringer, [[Khonsu]], on January 20, 2012. In contrast to prior Endbringer attacks, Khonsu teleported to attack multiple locations worldwide for a period of three days, requiring intense [[Khonsu Meeting|negotiations and coordination]] from [[Cauldron]] to drive off.<ref>Three days.<br><br>Nearly three days and we hadn’t managed to kill him.<br><br>A new target every thirty minutes, give or take.  Ten to twenty minutes for the defending forces to get their shit together.  The remainder of that time was our capes trying to hurt him.  Chipping away at him. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/11/scarab-25-5/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.5]]</ref> In addition, the proximity of Khonsu's attack to the Simurgh's only two months before suggested not only an altered schedule, but given the precedent, the appearance of a fifth Endbringer.<ref name="25.4 e1">She took my cue.  “New costumes, a new group.  Behemoth is defeated and it looks like the Endbringers might have reverted to the schedule they had pre-2002.  An attack every four to five months.”<br>[...]<br>Two attacks, two months apart.  Had their schedule changed?  Would the next attack come in a mere two months, or would it be more unpredictable than that?<br><br>No, I thought, with a dawning horror.  No, it was worse than that.  The Endbringer’s schedule of attack had always depended on the number of Endbringers in the rotation.<br><br>If they were keeping to their usual rules, it promised a fifth, waiting in the wings. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/09/scarab-25-4/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.4]]</ref> On October 10 later that year, this fear was confirmed with the appearance of the Endbringers [[Tohu]] and [[Bohu]], collectively [[The Twins]].

Over the course of the [[Timeskip]], the now-five Endbringers continued their attacks, making use of hit-and-run tactics and other strategies to counter and avoid Scion.
