Thanagar. A fell hours after it's fall to Apokolips.
Darkseid grin as he rode in his personal war machine as it, and his troop travel along a road of the world of Thanagar, a world that was now his. It was right after he and that old fool Highfather had traded sons for a armistice. A armistice, for a time, will last, but will fall apart. Goodness had name Highfather son 'Scott Free' a odd name, yes, but it did not matter. Soon, Scott Free will be train, and Orion, the son had traded, will follow in his footsteps, he knew it to be sure.
As for Thanagar, you see, Darkseid needed more soldiers. His last few battles before the trade had wreaking his forces a bit more then he like. It was after the trade that he thought about 'added' a few worlds to boost Apokolips army's. And Thanagar was on top of the list.
The Thanagarians had suffered a great lost to the Gordanians (He also destory the Gordanians whine he was at it) Oh, the Thanagarians fought long, and hard (Brave, but foolish) but in the end, the Thanagarians fell to him, as all will in due time. Kalibak, Steppenwolf, and Vundabar was at the capitol, putting down some of the last hold outs. Kanto was off world, hurting down Thanagar leaders that was able to get off world. Goodness was already rounding off orphans and sending them off to the orphanages on Apokolips. Oh sure, Highfather demanded him to stop his attack on Thanagar, and the other worlds, but Highfather would not risk war soon after the trade. Yes, everything seem to be in place for Darkse...
A cry. A small, and little cry. Something that he would not deal with, but this one cry, it was both a calling, and painful to him. At first, he thinks it's just his New God mind playing tricks of some kind with him, but the crying continued, and it only got worst.
Darkseid orders his men to stop. He steps out of the armor war machine. He would deal with this himself. He look for the source of this troubled cry and kill it. He sees a half destroy home, most likely from a mortar attack. He can hear the crying from it. Darkseid enters the ruin home, looking for the cry. He steps over a body of a male Thanagarian and enters the room to his left. They, in a crib, was the source of the crying. A baby, female Thanagarian. What? This? This was the reason of the crying? The reason of his headache? No matter. It would be dead soon.
Darkseid walks right up to the crib, and looks down at it. As he power up his Omega beams, the baby stops crying and looks up at the New God. This actually made him a bit confused. This had never happen before. Even small things like this knew it was the end was near when they saw Darkseid. Now this one. This one was looking curious at the New God. Then, the idea came to him
The area he was in was home to some of the greatest warriors of Thanagar. The fighting here was rather bloody. The thing was a child of one of the said warriors. The dead Thanagarian must have been the father, or a another family member before the mortar attack. The idea was so, great, so powerful. He would...'raise' this baby, train her to be a warrior of Apokolips. A warrior...for him.
He picks up the small one, and takes her to his war machine. "Lord Darkseid. Why do you have a child?" Some of the soldiers ask. One set of Omega beams, and the solider is no more.
Apokolips. Two days later. Darkseid Palace.
Darkseid had call his Elite for a meeting. A important meeting at that. Kalibak. Granny Goodness. Steppenwolf. Virman Vundabar. Desaad. Kanto.
"My Elite." He said to them as he enters the meeting room. "Two days ago, the world of Thanagar fell to us. The victory has made us stronger in many ways, but one stand out. Not manpower. Not Resources. Not a new jumping off point. No, our great gain is this." A subject carry the small Thanagarian (Shayera Hol, as he learn the baby name when he order them to find anything good in the ruin home. One which was a mace made from Nth metal)
The Elite looks at baby Shayera. "Um...i don't get it." Said Kalibak. Darkseid sigh. His love for the late Suli was the only reason he had not kill his idiot of a son. "You see. The Thanagarian you see before you will be Apokolips champion. Each and everyone of you will train her in your skills."
Vundabar walks up to the baby and looks at Shayera. "Lord Darkseid. I mean no disrespect, but are yu..." Shayera then bit one of the Prussian looking man finger. Hard. "Ahh! Let out!" He yells as he try to get Shayera to let go, and the others of the elite laugh they heads off. "I think i am going to love this one!" Say Granny Goodness.
Darkseid smiles as the others tell him of they ideas for Shayera training, and Vundabar getting his poor finger free from Shayera. Yes. Everything was going according to plan. he love this idea of his.
