I mean, if anything, you could try doing it on a smaller scale, just blowing the island up. But, you'll definetely die in the process .

Everyone: Sorry if the responses have had less depth and been straight-forward lately. That'll improve rather soon. It's mainly since the current area doesn't have much going on beyond simple shooting. Same for The Moonlit Shadow and conein, I just wanted to set up a stage for you. Soon, it'll be more freeform.
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do something as simple and straightforward as vaporizing a small chunk of the planet's crust by means of mentally manipulating the very forces of nature without a few undesirable side effects. Darn it. Don't worry too much about real world physics. This is your universe, and what you say goes
1) strong force: holds atomic nuclei together
2) weak force: changes quarks from one version to another (quarks make up protons and neutrons and stuff, so this force acts at the smallest scale)
3) electromagnetism: uhh, governs electrical charge and magnetism. Nobody understands how magnets work. this force ha infinite range. (it uses photons [light particles])
4) gravity. Draws matter together. Has infinite range. Is considered the weakest force, generally, because the others can act against it within their range (otherwise we'd all be a goop of condensed quarks, or simply a singularity)?
Your posts have been fine.
Newton checks to make sure none of the monstrosities followed us, then attempts to block the gravity between the truck and the planet, such that the truck and it's contents become light enough to easily push around. He attempts to make this semi-permanent, so that he can undo it easily when necessary.
Well, I don't think I'm up to vaporizing that island on my own, so I guess that's that. Do you guys want to try and find the other magic people, or just get the hell off this dirt clod? Either way, south and west around the shore is our best bet for now, I think. Newton looks a little disappointed when he mentions his lack of nuclear hellfire, but the moment passes quickly.
Good point on it being my universe. I like that. My thoughts on your plan are that it would just take too much energy for you to overcome the forces required to do such a thing... and it would be too easy for the island to just be destroyed.
On the truck, it's design already makes it easier to push things. Still hard enough that it requires all of you to help, but not nearly as bad as pushing a wheeled carrier around.
You use your powers to negate the gravity of the planet effecting the truck. For the time the effect is active it makes pushing it much easier. You try to make the effect permanent, but the second you stop putting effort into it, the gravity begins to effect the truck again. Using your powers you can make the pushing easier, but no permanent effects yet. I'm not sure how I feel about those.
"Slavery of our powered brethen is unacceptable. However the black menace back over there means we have to leave the planet soonish and bombard it into hypothetical oblivion. Both goals are of equal importance, so we will adjust our plans as situation developes."
Don't be in the truck when Newton messes with it.
Done.
Amplify my hearing and sight both to 500%. Keep an eye out behind us and listen, to check if any creatures are still pursuing us. Warn the group, if so.
If any team member desires boosted senses, do as requested.
You do so. As far as you can tell, the chase has stopped for now. You do think that you saw some skulking around on the coast of the island though.
Stand by, be ready to shoot beasts of chaos at desired rate and efficiency.
You stand by, none come.
Forest Group:So, the plan is to go to the town spotted by the river delta? If you had different ideas, we can reverse this after.
You all work together, pushing the hover truck using physical strength, and your own powers. After hours of trekking along the coastline, trying to stay out of the forest when possible, you find yourselves outside of a small village. The sun is beginning to set, and you decide to stop about half a mile away, in the woods. So you can make a careful approach.
At a glance, the village is medium sized, a distant sign says it has a population of around 1300 people. There is no telling how out of date that could be though. The village has one central road running through it, with rest being traversed using walking paths. Built against the shoreline is a building larger than the others, it has a small dock jutting out of it, and all the village paths lead to it. It must be some sort of administrative building. The single main road in the village heads out of it to the west, just wide enough for one vehicle.
Various dirt roads split off it, probably leading to small farms and homes in the nearby countryside.
You hear a loud yawn, The Captain sits up from the platform of the hover truck stretching his arms... He must have been sleeping in there with Ed while you were all pushing. Seems that he isn't so afraid of the dog anymore.

"I see. About the other shuttles... do you think they could be other prisoners?"
"Possibly... We have tried to track the shuttles on that route many times. But, they always manage to throw us off. We think that they head to a remote base that we have seen whispers of in stolen intel. Some of them probably just contain supplies.""(How did I get to this...)
So huh...can we eat something?"
"Yes! Eat up. We have a variety of foods. There are probably some foods that you off-worlders like that we could scrounge up. We also have some local delicacies that are delicious. Those chefs know how to make one mean screech rat... We are all out of Luma squids though.. sadly."
