The heros after refusing to deal with horipulata. Were teleported to hell. There they needed to protect the remaining civilians of the russel street cinema (about 3 dozen) The only PC that could get the group back was concused before the fight began
(the player was absent for this game) and is not able to easily return to his home dimension as he's mentally lost. As a result he is protecting the remaining 3 dozen people while the other heroe's try to draw the fire & coming demon hoards away from the cinema.
The hero team continue to fight and I make them roll for exhaustion as they are fighting at full capacity and I needed to point out to them that they are going to run out of options very quickly. One PC was down and starting to loose endurance ranks. They come up with a plan.
Plasma enacts a supernova (Johny Storm Style) which buys the rest of the heroes some time. Plasma pushed herself to far and blacked out. This allowed Edwin Highfield finally manages to work out how to get back to the earth dimension (managed to tap Horipulatas mind breifly). When the PC's rescued Plasma the demons appeared to be about to overrun her unconscous form again. (Plot hook I will play on later).
Mean while back on earth time moves faster. Three years have passed. Humanity is in the grip of fear. In Australia. People & mutants have banded together.
Aliens have evolved after taking on mutant hosts.
They now have powers.

Moral everywhere you go is at an all time low & becoming more bleak. More & more people are reported missing, killed or abducted, there a rumours that the APP (aliens, predators & pitch black creaturs) menace has spread to other areas of Australia.
The economy has come to a halt with overseas shipping & air freight no longer venturing to Australia. The air and water around australia has been declared a no go zone with any attempts at leaving the country being first warned then met with leathal force.
Word is spreading of a resistance group forming. All are welcome humans, mutants, AI entities, etc.
The Leader of this group is only known as "The Voice" of The Ristance". No one knows who THE VOICE is or what she or he looks like.
A statement was released
"The governments inaction & incompetence has lead to a growing apathy amoung the people. Especially with an alien den found with a large number of people found dead with evidence of alien infestation apparant.
As we can no longer rely on our elected officials to protect us we must now protect ourselves and rely on each other. Mutants & non-mutants alike. United we have a better chance of surviving this nightmare."

Horipulata mocks them now and again. There are posters that have been put up stating that the heros are responsible for what happened. The number to call is 1800 GOTO HELL.
They have to find shelter after realising the above and need to protect the civilians.
On route to finding some where to rest they gather supplies and find out that the aliens have super powers now.
The heroes had taken up residence @ the shrine of Remembrance. They Cleaned out the alien presence before hand. It was surrounded by aliens. Which they are doing their best to keep away.
They had 2 predators with them against the coming onslaught.
Q: Will the Predators activate their personal fail safes?
Q: How will the heroes avoid the death of any civilian?
Q: Is there a way for them to reverse what (they?) have) has been done.
Q: Are they responsible?
