So after My success with Manzilla: power to restore balance. I couldn't help but think of what could of happened if the events in Injustice was caused and effected different characters.
X Watch Tower...
The whole world stood speechless, all of Metropolis have been ruined. The once great and iconic city of the Man of Steel, was nothing more but a mire memory. News of the now decimated city spread through out the world and universe like wildfire. For the first time in years, the Justice League felt powerless, on board the Watch Tower fellow Leaguers couldn't believe what was now history. Not only had they'd failed the entire universe, but they had also lost one of their own. And it was the same thing for the police forces, none of them felt like they could do anything to help. For once, Luthor had done it. He'd made the Justice League fall, and Superman was now nothing more but a memory of the past.
"He's gone...The man of steels gone..."gasped Hawkgirl as she saw the news steaming across the interface.
Metropolis history; Monster kills Hero.
"That crazy idiot actually did it..." whispered Flash still shocked by this event. And by the end of the day, things will get even more unbearable to hear or believe by the end of this day.
X Interrogation room...
BANG! Another hard punch to add to Lex Luthor's collection for the day. Had he'd been in his suit, he would most happily exchanged another, But out of his suit, he's just another lunatic.
"The bomb Luthor! Where did you get your hands on it?!" demanded a furious Wonder Woman, her eyes flaming with anger. The one city she gave her all to defend...now history all because of Luthor.
"Resorting to intimidation? How pathetic." muttered Luthor not at all bothered by both Wonder Woman's hostile rage. He'd won, and he knew it...and he had Manzilla to thank for it.
"Destroying Metropolis! That make sense. But why did you have to break him! He's just a boy!" yelled Wonder Woman trying to contain her angered strength. After all Manzilla had been through. This act of Luthor's had finally gone too far.
"He's a force a nature that I created. I designed to ruin the Justice League. And if he wasn't going to do it willingly, then I could easily trick him into doing it." answered a proud Luthor as he rested on his chair.
Finally having enough, Wonder Woman grabbed Luthor by his neck, ready to unleash her fall force on him. But another person had other ideas on that.
BOOM! a large truck smashed through the wall, creating a massive hole leading outside into freedom. Turning back to the sudden event, Wonder Woman stared shock while Luthor waited patiently as the truck was pulled out. Revealing who had thrown it...Manzilla, his eyes filled with primal rage as he walked through the hole, his mind set on the one person that had ruined him...Luthor.
"Get away from that freak!" ordered Manzilla with disturbing anger, scaring even Wonder Woman.
"Manzilla! This is my interrogation. I'm handling this." refused Wonder Woman as Manzilla walked up to the still calm Luthor. Finally feeling something snap in him, Manzilla swiped the table between him and Luthor aside like a toy and lifted Luthor up by his suit before slamming him against the wall, worrying Wonder Woman.
"You! You used me! Trick me into..." Manzilla stop himself as the image of his dead family rushed back into his mind."Superman...I'm so sorry." cried Manzilla quietly. He still didn't want to believe what he'd done, He done the one thing that people like Luthor and Doomsday have given up their life to achieve...kill Superman.
"First you're parents, Then Eric, and now Metropolis and Superman." noted Luthor intent on breaking Manzilla even more. "You have quiet a bad reputation for losing people you care about." with his sorrow suddenly replaced with rage, Manzilla took a deep breath as his spike glowed a neon-blue.
"Manzilla! Don't let him push you!" yelled Wonder Woman knowing Luthor was trying to break him even more. At that moment, Manzilla blasted his atomic breath, barely missing Luthor's face as the blast died down. Amused by Manzilla's intimidation, Luthor chuckled to himself.
"That's why you impress me Manzilla. You're more willing to finish things then...her." noted Luthor looking at Wonder Woman. Even more angered, Manzilla threw Luthor across the room, sending him crashing into the corner.
"You honestly think you can start over again? Put the past behind you and start a new again? And that by having me locked up in Arkham will make me regret ever doing this? Typical for a blind boy." questioned Luthor weakly as he got up.
"We'll rebuild metropolis. Make sure you're punished for your crime." reminded Wonder Woman as Manzilla simply glared at Luthor with primal eyes as he sat back down on his seat.
"And where will you find the fund to do that?" questioned Luthor knowing how fruitless their hope was. "I'll simply get out of jail by having my lawyers get me out like, I always do. And in return I will offer the funding needed to rebuild Metropolis in my own prefect and grand image, and I'll be able to look up at the future knowing that the freak show Manzilla was my key to success. And more importantly...I've won."
But Manzilla had other idea's for that.
"No...you won't." answered Manzilla before grabbing Luthor by his neck and lifting him up like a rag doll. "Because you won't be around to see the future!"
"Manzilla! No!" begged Wonder Woman trying to pull Manzilla back from Luthor. But having finally had enough, Manzilla wracked Wonder Woman aside with his tail, sending her skidding across the room.
"There might be hope deep in you're nuclear heart. But do you actually think you can care about anyone now? Fearing that they'll end up like the others?" chocked out Luthor pushing Manzilla even further. "Perhaps you won't end up killing the next person you care about." That was more than enough to push Manzilla. Weakly, Wonder Woman could only look on as Manzilla blasted Luthor's face with his atomic breath, burning him to death as Luthor screamed in pain and victory.
He had won...but at the cost of losing his life.
So give your review and I'll keep up with more chapters coming up.
