Previously…
After waiting 10 minutes, Ben was beginning to think the crash really did kill them, Vilgax was injured from the battle earlier and Albedo was still in his human form when Ben left the ship. Not wanting to take any chances however, he transformed into Wildmutt to see if he could sense any heartbeats. After not detecting any, he thought they were dead, so he transformed back to human and had Ship turn into a phone so as to not cause any commotion since he didn't know if aliens even existed in this world. Ben then transformed into Jetray to get to the nearest city quickly since he also didn't know how far away it was. Once he got within walking distance, he turned back to human and walked towards the city...
Currently…
Ben was walking towards the city, apparently called Metropolis. Walking through the city trying to get his bearings, he found a newspaper stand and bought a newspaper, luckily this world used the same money as Ben's world. What Ben saw amazed him. This world was littered with superheroes and super villains! The most recent stories about this world's heroes included a fight involving Hawkman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and Vixen which included the disappearance of a villain known as Shadow Thief, and another story was about an illegal underground metabrawl which was stopped thanks to the actions of Huntress, Black Canary, Vixen, Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman. Apparently the villain known as Roulette was using some sort of mind control to make the heroes fight one another for her own personal gain.
Ben decided to head towards a library to see if he could find out anything else about these heroes, this Justice League. Just as Ben was leaving the library, there was a loud boom, followed by the sound of thunder and then the sound of civilians screaming. Ben quickly turned into Jetray, since he now knew aliens wouldn't surprise anyone too much, and flew up in the sky.
'Great', thought Ben, 'another alien invasion, just what I need'. With that, Ben transformed again, this time into Echo Echo, splitting himself several times before all of them ran off in the hopes of either somehow stopping the invasion and/or making sure no one was hurt or killed.
Several moments later, one Echo Echo saw the Daily Planet and saw a being lowering towards the roof from one of the alien spaceships. Ben's seen enough alien invasions to realize he must be the guy behind this invasion, so all the Echo Echoes regrouped, morphing back into one and then Ben transformed into Jetray to get to the roof of the Daily Planet.
When Ben got there he saw no one on the roof, instead there was a giant hole which appeared to lead straight down to the bottom of the building. Ben flew down the hole hoping to find who was behind this invasion, what Ben saw surprised him to say the least. He saw the hero called Superman punch the guy Ben assumed to be the villain behind this attack, then Ben saw the hero called Batman and some other bald human using guns to fight off, what Ben would soon learn to be called Parademons.
"I'm out", said Batman. The villain known as Luthor offered Batman his spare, but Batman simply declined saying "Not my style". Ben realizing Bats might need help, decided it'd be a good time to make his presence be known. He told Ship to help Batman and then Ben turned into Chromastone to go help Superman.
"Ship Ship", Ship shouted when he approached Batman. "Who or what are you?", asked an apprehensive Batman, in response, Ship lunged at Batman and began to form a battle suit in the likeness of the Bat's costume. 'Ok, I think I like this...whatever it is', thought Batman as he leaped towards another pack of Parademons.
Darkseid head butted Superman knocking him to the ground before he was shot at by a beam of rainbow energy, which barely did any damage. Darkseid turned to look at the the idiot that shot at him only to be tackled by Chromastone. Getting up, Darkseid shot his omega beams at the being who simply smiled and crossed his arms. Now Darkseid was the one to be surprised as the being absorbed the energy. "My turn", said the now rainbow glowing alien who then shot another blast of energy at Darkseid, this time it managed to make him fly through one of the still standing walls of the Daily Planet and into the street.
"Thanks", said Superman, "Who are you?"
"In this form you can call me Chromastone", said Ben.
"In this form?", questioned Superman.
Ben was about to respond when Darkseid came rushing back into the building. 'Looks like I'm gonna need some more fire power', though Ben who then transformed into another alien. "Humungasaur!", roared the new alien, growing to his full height and slapping Darkseid into another wall. "Let me guess," Said Superman, surprised at the sudden transformation, "In this form you're called Humungasaur?" Ben simply nodded and then the two heroes ran towards Darkseid, who was now also running towards the two aliens. The following impact of the two heroes crashing into Darkseid caused a shock wave, bringing down most of what remained of the Daily Planet, as well as shattering windows up to two blocks away. Humungasaur was the most visibly affected by the impact. Darkseid punched the humungous alien with all his might sending him flying. Darkseid then turned to Superman. "Your friends have abandoned you, or fallen before my might", said Darkseid as he punched the Kryptonian several times before kneeing him in the gut and then bringing his fists together and slamming Superman to the ground. Lifting him above his head, he continued, "Super or otherwise, you're merely a man, and I am a god." He then dropped Superman slamming Superman's back into his knee, Superman shouted in pain and rolled a few feet on the ground.
After punching Superman some more, Batman ran up and jumped on Darkseid's back. "You still try to fight?", questioned Darkseid, throwing Batman to the ground. "Can't you see that it's hopeless?", questioned Darkseid again, only to be punched by Superman a couple times, then holding him by the throat, Superman said, "That man won't quit as long as he can still draw breath. None of my team mates will. Me? I've got a different problem." Superman punched darkseid through the wall before he continued, "I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard. Always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control, even for moment, or someone could die." Darkseid then got up and tried to punch him only to be blocked and then punched instead, falling back a few feet, Superman continued, "But you can take it, can't you big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose, and show you just how powerful I really am." Putting all his strength into a single punch, Darkseid flew up towards the tops of building before flying through a few. Superman flew fast enough to past Darkseid and hovered outside a building waiting for Darkseid to reach him. He brought his fists together and slammed down on Darkseid sending him hurtling towards the ground and creating a giant crater. Lowering towards the ground, Superman saw Darkseid beginning to get up. "Had enough?", he asked. "Not quite yet." Was Darkseid's reply as he turned to face Superman, who was now flying towards him. Darkseid acts quickly by trapping Superman in a powerful torture field called the Agony Matrix. "It's called the Agony Matrix. Direct neural stimulation of pain receptors, all of them. Imagine the worst pain you've ever felt in your life, times a thousand. Now imagine that pain continuing forever. Oh, that's right. You don't have to imagine." Said Darkseid now stand over Superman almost right next to him.
Ben, now in human form had finally woke back up. Looking around he tried to observe his surroundings, trying to find where this Darkseid and Superman went. Seeing a new hole in the wall, Ben realized what must of happened. He transformed into Xlr8 and ran through the hole, following a trail of destruction.
"Still alive. You impress me Kryptonian, more, your valor has touched my heart. Oh yes, there is still some small part of me that knows mercy." Darkseid said before reaching for a small white rectangular box on in arm, activating it, it turned out to be a kryptonite knife. Darkseid continued, "I will end your pain. With something special I've been saving for just this occasion. I'm going to cut out your heart and put it on a pike in my throne room."
"Sorry. Not gonna happen", said Xlr8 before changing was again in a massive green flash. "Waybig!" shouted Ben, who then crossed his arms, shooting a beam of energy at Darkseid. He then stopped remembering Superman was down there too and didn't want to kill him. Superman began to rise to his feet, now free from the Agony Matrix thanks to that blast of energy. He flew up towards Waybig's head. Seeing this, and realizing the beam must of had a similar affect on Darkseid, he decided to stomp on Darkseid's Body a few times creating earthquakes that nearly destroying every building in the city. Stopping before and more damage could be done to the city, Ben lifted his foot off Darkseid, whose body was now bloody and beaten. Weakened tremendously, Darkseid knew had to flee if he wanted to fight another day, so he teleported back onto his ship and all the forces began to recede, not just in Metropolis but all across the globe.
Moments later, Ben, the Justice League, and the villains were gathered in the Hall of Justice. After some talk, Wonder Woman spoke up saying that it was time the villains were locked up.
"Wait a minute", says Atomic Skull, "We help you guys save the world and we don't even get any consideration?"
"You're right" says Batman after sharing a brief look at Superman, "5 minute head start", he continued.
"5 minutes? Are you kidding?", questions Atomic Skull.
"4 minutes, 50 seconds" replies Wonder Woman.
Batman turns to the martian. "You and I will stay here to question him, Oh and Diana, we'll need your lasso." Batman said as he points to Ben. The martian and Amazonian gave nods. While waiting for the time to pass, the martian calls his significant other to inform her that he should be home for dinner. Flash overhears this and says something about this being the end times. Meanwhile Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman stand together, "A headstart? You're getting soft in your old age" Said Superman. Batman replied by saying "Don't you have a tall building to go leap?" Wonder Woman then added, "And the adventure continues." Soon after that, the heroes, minus Ben, Bats, the martian and the princess, leave to go hunt down some villains, the four remaining heroes then enter a soundproof room lined with lead, to prevent people from spying on anyone on the inside, as they go to question Ben.
