}}The '''Oil Rig Battle''' marks the first major battle between [[Scion]] and the assembled forces of humanity.
==Prelude==
The heroes decided to attempt fourteen different methods of attacking Scion, spread out across the world using [[Doormaker]]. They based themselves on an oil rig on an alternate Earth, at the furthest point from Scion's location.

[[Taylor]] adopted a new costume for the occasion - white-on-black - and provided the defenders with spider-silk costumes made from the various costumes she had created over the years. [[Lab Rat]] distributed [[Dragon]]'s armbands, earbuds, and small matchbox-like boxes of his own creation. [[Galvanate]] provided those already durable enough to battle Scion in melee with further invulnerability.<ref name="27.4"/>
==Battle==
Scion battled the first four groups:

*[[Chevalier]] and [[Ingenue]]
*A team including [[Gentle Giant]], [[Chuckles]] and [[Clockblocker]]
*The [[Triumvirate]] and [[Glaistig Uaine]]
*A team including [[Grue]] and [[Shuffle]]

There were several unnamed losses, and Ingenue was injured.

Chevalier returned, followed by the other three groups. Scion was knocked out of the atmosphere by [[String Theory]]'s "G-driver".<ref name="27.4"/>

Soon afterwards, the heroes lost track of him and he appeared above the oil rig. [[Cauldron]] refused to open portals so close to Scion.<ref name="27.4">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/extinction-27-4/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.4]]</ref> He gathered a huge ball of golden energy and fired it at the oil rig.<ref name="27.5"/>

Taylor managed to make it to the edge of the oil rig before it hit, but lost half of her body. Lab Rat's box transformed her into a monster. 

The Triumvirate and the Faerie Queen arrived to fight Scion, flying halfway around the world.

She swam back to the platform and talked to the [[Irregulars]], arguing with [[Weld]] about whether they should give up on the possibility of fighting Scion. She helped [[Parahuman Characters#Sifara|Sifara]] freeze [[Scion]] in place. She was briefly able to distract Scion as the other heroes battled him.

Glaistig Uaine and Eidolon battled Scion together, and Eidolon managed to blast him far away.

The box's effects began to wear off, reverting Taylor to her normal, injured form. She was swept into a [[Doormaker]] portal and blacked out.<ref name="27.5">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/extinction-27-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.5]]</ref>

Scion returned. Glaistig Uaine told Eidolon how to re-energize his power, allowing him to fight at full strength. They battled Scion, driving him across dimensions. 

Scion, increasingly hard-pressed, used his path-to-victory ability to convince Eidolon to give up.<ref name="I27">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/interlude-27/ Interlude 27]</ref>
==Aftermath==
Glaistig Uaine harvested Eidolon's shard.<ref name="29.2">[[Venom 29.2]]</ref>

[[Panacea]] healed Taylor's injuries. [[Imp]], [[Tattletale]] and [[Rachel]] stayed alongside her.

Humanity largely gave up fighting Scion. They became refugees, fleeing his wrath. Several factions violated the [[Truce]], taking territory for themselves, including [[Teacher]], [[Sleeper]], and the [[Yangban]]. Warlords and criminals began attempting to seize power across the [[Earths]]. The [[Irregulars]] began openly warring with [[Cauldron]].

A few days after the battle, [[Taylor]] woke up. She was informed that [[Eidolon]] was dead, along with half of [[Earth Bet]], civilian and parahuman alike. [[Tattletale]] then filled her in on the other problems.<ref name="28.1">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/31/cockroaches-28-1/ Excerpt] from [[Cockroaches 28.1]]</ref>
