Moloid did 33% of total Damage done to your team...He should be promoted.
Moloid did more damage that Dormmy with fortitude,
Moloid did more damage than Umar with trick shot.
“You think to have bested the Dread Dormammu?” the flame-headed demon cackled, rising from the floor in a dramatic show of sparks and fire. “You have only proven an entertaining diversion! For now that I have tested your mettle, you shall see my full, true power! Quake with fear at the revelation of…what is this?”
Dormammu’s speech was interrupted by a dimming of the magical flames which wreathed the room. He spun to see the glowing tracery of his and Umar’s combined spell flickering and fading away.
“No!” he whispered in surprise. “It cannot be…”
“And yet it is, Brother,” Umar said, her voice surprisingly bored. “You do realize what has occurred, yes?”
“It isn’t possible! We are too far from that time! Even if the Godlings failed, we should be able to--“
“And yet we cannot,” Umar said, walking calmly away, her form growing transparent. “The timestream seeks to right itself. We shall not linger. Come, brother, or risk making an even larger fool of yourself.”
As Dormammu’s body faded from sight, he shook his fists at the heavens and his mouth opened in a wild scream. “Curse you, Straaaaaaaaaannnnnggggeeee….*”
And then he was gone, and the obelisk began shaking with great force. Brainiac consulted his palm-tablet.
“The structural integrity is weakening,” he said. “I estimate 1.698 minutes before complete collapse. Since it is being unmade, to linger here would likely end in our ceasing to exist. I suggest we leave.”
“Seconded,” Cosmic Boy said quickly. “Come on, team.” The Legionnaires bolted out the hallway and flew at top speed headlong for the exit. As they neared the end and the hole was in sight, Spider-Man slowed his run.
“Come on, Spidey,” Live Wire said. “We’ve gotta get out quick!”
“I don’t think so,” Spider-Man said, looking at his hands. A dim glow began to illuminate his body from the inside out. “I don’t belong here. I’m being pulled back.”
*Back to your time…* Saturn Girl thought softly.
“Yeah - hopefully I don’t overshoot it this time, too,” the black-clad arachnid laughed. He held a hand out and it began breaking up - his body fragmenting into tiny squares of light and floating off to disappear in the air above.
“It’s been fun, Legion,” he said, his voice fading. “Take care of yourselves.”
“You too, Spider-Man,” Cosmic Boy said, giving the hero a last salute.
“Goodbye,” the web-slinger said, and then vanished completely.

It was a short trip back to Legion World, and they rode in near silence.
“What do you think happens next?” Cosmic Boy asked Brainiac 5.
“According to my readings, the world is returning to its natural order,” the green-skinned boy said. “I’d wager our memories will similarly revert to their original structure. In all likelihood, none of us will remember this by morning.”
“Great,” Cos said, shaking his head with a tired smile. “We just fought a demon and we’ll never remember it.”
“Consider it a blessing,” Brainiac said. “Some races lack the ability to forget any occurrences at all. Sometimes not having to remember is the easiest path.”
Cosmic Boy looked up at the unusual comment from the Coluan. It almost sounded…comforting. But he saw nothing in Brainiac’s face to indicate anything was different. He remained locked onto his computer, running numbers and analyzing data.
“Fair enough,” Cos said. “We’ll see what happens tomorrow.”
“I suspect the sun will rise at approximately 6:18 SGT.”
“Back to work. Get some rest, Brainy - we’ve still got a galaxy to change.” Cosmic Boy smiled and patted Brainiac’s shoulder before walking back into the bunk-rooms of the small ship and laying down. Tomorrow would be another day.
