Later, Eclipse fought Omega and Rouge in order to prevent them from retrieving the bomb. Eclipse gained the upper hand by transforming, but quickly reverted to his previous form after over-exerting himself. After arming the bomb, Omega and Rouge made their escape, and Black Death ordered Eclipse to leave on the escape pod along with the Dark Arms larvae. Eclipse refused and attempted to disarm the bomb to no avail, forcing Black Death to have Death's Eye drag Eclipse to the escape pod. Eclipse begged Black Death to let him go and admitted that he was right about destroying Shadow. To his horror, Death's Eye became lifeless, signifying that Black Death had been killed by Shadow. Enraged, Eclipse swore revenge on Shadow as he crashed onto the planet below. (SU: #62)
