I'll leave this to trial and error for you guys.

Nep will take to the air to shoot everything and core purge right?

What about hover skimming? Or star shining then flying in?

Well....
Is it sad that the first thing I think of is how to improve upon this?
Have the bomb set up in a way to 'functionally' give birth to multiple short-lived stars and then "sacrifice multiple New Born Babies right out of the Mother's Womb".
I feel like a horrible person.
Starshine shoots of a bunch of balls that Nepgear can control individually. I presume when crystalwatcher said:
they meant firing most the balls upwards into the sky.

They figured out how to do that but not that they'd want some ~300 kiloton nukes to play with? Damnit Gaia! Give us some tactical options instead of just filling your toolbox with ways to give Divine Entities you don't like black eyes!

[X] Plan Just Do It (but make sure you have a backup plan, too)
I was just thinking... it would be hilarious if Nepgear just called out to Grey Champion and asked for her autograph before the fight starts; then she flies over to get it and starts Core Purge once there.
Grey Champion subdued and free, all enemies dead and no one got hurt.
Also, if White Soul is the champion of this bossrush... why do we not just have Goddess Gold vaporise the whole necropolis once we get Grey Champion and ourselves out of it? I doubt she expects that, so she will have both her bodies inside and die. Other Magical Girls that were not yet raised would also be lost to the Unified Darkness as well.
Looking at that, it makes a lot of sense. Does anyone have thoughts on the matter, or reasons why it would not work?

Soo... with that little bit of information...
@Larekko12 @beth2 @kelllogo
Would any of you mind adding something like
[] Before the fighting starts, call out to Grey Champion and ask for her autograph
-[] If she says yes, fly over to her to get it and activate Core Purge the moment you have her autograph
to your votes? If it works, we can save a lot of effort; if Grey says no, we are just back to your respective plans anyway.
Edit:
I also just realised that this would normally be a paradox.

I changed the wording.
By the way, how much of the recent developments did the Old Guard miss due to being dead?
From what I remember, someone probably has to tell them that Hope has fallen, the Goddess Four splintered and a lot of other more recent things.

What plan incorporates your wording?
That's even more evil!

None right now; I am okay with all the plans suggested and making my own right now would probably not work. So, as visible above, I just hope the others will take it into their plans instead. I would not see a reason not to, considering the worst case is Nepgear asking and being told no before the fighting starts.

This is pretty much what i wanted. Atrition is not our friend and Gray has no revealed abilities that can stop a charge. And due to our intel being the person who knows her best it's unlikely to be wrong.

I've edited my plan a bit. Mostly adjusting phrasing to account for the info we got from crys, and remembering to take advantage of Supremacy Zone.
I'm thinking I should add a step to the plan about mopping up any remaining mooks. The question is, do we do it by flying to the middle of the courtyard while Core Purge is active, or through normal attacks? The former has the benefit of being fast (less than a second of flight), while the latter is slow and would let Segarite Core build up Health. They're also vulnerable to different potential ambushes: the former to anything that needs us in the center of the room, would hit us in flight, or from behind (when we're against the wall, they can't hit us from behind), while the latter is vulnerable to anything which takes prep time (notice how Grey didn't stop singing when we came in? What if she was distracting us to buy time?) or involves a new enemy appearing and hitting us. I really hope I'm just being paranoid with the whole "ambush" thing.
Plan let it rain is also reasonable. My only issue with it is that it seems to be formulated under the assumption that we're too far away to Core Purge Grey immediately, and therefore takes two steps to deal with her, which leaves more room for problems. Also, the Starshine is mostly pointless if we Core Purge those mooks anyway. Also, grammar and capitalization.
Wow. That helps explain how they managed the population boom and the extremely rapid colonization of Hope.
I really hope that only works because it's a newborn star, because pregnant women are not exactly hard to find.
I like this idea. A lot. If she hadn't just told her mooks to attack, I'd go for it. But as it is I think it's too risky. Grey is experienced (and not a ditz like Silver), she'll recognize a trick to get her into melee range when she sees one. And while we've been told she still has her "hero" mentality, so she probably wouldn't accept and then hit us while we're flying over, the mooks and hypothetical others have no such restraint. In any case, this:
implies (by symmetry) that Grey Champion is already in range of Core Purge.

(1) We don't know that White Soul is the only resurrected MG left. If we can save another high-powered girl, or just someone who matters, that'd be useful. (2) We don't know that both of White Soul's bodies are in there. She might have one back with the UD, or far away from the necropolis—if I were her, I'd never let my bodies come within a mile of each other when I was expecting combat. My hope for doing it in person is that, since Red Rose is a personal issue for her, she'll abandon careful tactics to try to kill her. (Though she could also do that by triggering a bomb as soon as she sees us…) (3) There's supposed to be about fifty MG corpses here, and blowing up your heroes is kind of rude. Plus the other people buried here. (4) When asked previously, crys said:Naron said:
(5) Blowing the place up would prevent our analysts from looking at anything in there. There probably isn't anything useful, but there could be. (6) I dunno, maybe it's historically important or something?
I repeat:

to (4) and (1): that was stated before we went in, though; if there were any other notable combatants here, we would probably know about them by now. As it is, the only known person in here is White Soul, once we get Grey Champion out.
As for (3), (5) and (6): I very much doubt that some collateral damage would be more devastating than having about fifty girls resurrected for the Unified Darkness. Additionally, Operation Answerer is near; if the last march of the light is stopped and quelled, then everyone would lose far more than a few bodies and some old buildings. I doubt anyone in a position of power would want to take that risk.
(2) is reasonable, though. On the other hand, GG demolishing the whole thing would probably be too fast for White Soul to disintegrate her second body in time. She also would not have her preferred form of mobility at hand if one body was far away, making her a sitting duck and Red Rose could win the fight the moment she gets into range. Or she would pull out anyway.
In the end, I doubt anything of worth would be lost there; it would throw back the Unified Darkness, though. Also, Rei is pissed off and might storm the necropolis any update. WS will bug out the moment she hears her coming anyway.
As for this, fair enough.
However... one thing:
She has not yet told them to attack; this was just a battle-opener. We can still stop her cold, as we did back with San and the Maidens.
And if she tells her subordinates to stay put, they will probably do so.
Additionally, we could just offer to leave our weapon back with our team to make her believe us; I mean, what can a MG without her weapon do?

[x] Plan Just Do It (but make sure you have a backup plan, too)
-[x] Core Purge immediately. Begin flying to activate Supremacy Zone, and adjust position to keep Grey Champion in range if necessary.
-[x] If she thinks it will work, Insight stuns Grey Champion.
-[x] Solid Drive goes up and separates from the group a little, to prevent being caught by unexpected AoE, and casts Shield Charge on Grey Champion.
-[x] Everyone but Solid Core stays ready to intervene in case of surprises, or get to cover if Grey Champion lasts more than two seconds.
-[x] If Core Purge fails to take out Grey Champion and Solid Drive successfully boosts Grey Champion's Health, Starshine against Grey Champion (and hopefully her Seal) and all surviving mooks. Make sure to aim most of it into the air to limit collateral damage.
[x]Save it~
Edit: Shouldn't the title of the update be Nepromancy Drive? @crystalwatcher

Screw it, we are in a necropolis anyway.
Let me just go butcher all the existing votes... take some from here, some from there...
Tada, a Frankenvote!
There are maybe two seconds lost in calling out... and honestly, we are supposed to be in reach of Core Purge already. Either way, having Red Rose tank the brunt of it sounds like a good plan, with the rest picking off targets of opportunity and elsewhise keeping their heads low. Only Nepgear can dare staying in the open because she will be in the air, completely invulnerable due to Supremacy Zone.
We only have a handful of people now; I want to take the chance for having another nullified battle simply so we have some more combat prowess for White Soul.
By the way, I called it Fangirl Agenda because Nepgear will get that autograph; either now or once she freed Grey and brought her back.

[] Plan Fangirl Agenda
-[]Before the fighting starts, call out to Grey Champion and ask for her autograph; offer to leave your purifier beam with your team as a gesture of sincerety
--[] If she says yes, fly over to her to get it and activate Core Purge the moment you have her autograph
---[] Should her Seal not go down, continue with the next part of the vote
--[] If she says no or ignores you, continue as follows:
---[] Take to the air and charge right at her; activate Core Purge as you move (Do not designate Grey Champion as a target, only her Seal; the same goes for any other Magical Girl that might be around)
---[] If enemy mooks are not in range of Core Purge, have Red Rose take point behind you to keep them from everyone else
---[] Aquila, James and Insight stay back and in cover, the former two focussing fire on the mooks; if Insight is capable of doing it, she stuns Grey Champion
---[] Solid Drive is on overwatch for healing and surprise murder.
---[] In case Grey Champion lasts more then two seconds or dodges the Core Purge somehow, everyone but Red Rose and Solid Core takes cover; Solid Core should get her weapon back if she took it off before
----[] Have Solid Drive boost Grey Champion's Health, then use Starshine against Grey Champion's seal and all surviving mooks. Make sure to aim most of it into the air to limit collateral damage.
