Chapter 2
"J'onn have you found anything about a 'God of insanity' yet?" questioned Superman as he entered the watchtower that was in a chaos of activity with leaguers searching the world for the newly arrival
"I have found multiple names but not many describe who you fought in Gotham, Batman recently went down to see if anything else happens" answered the Martian causing Superman to turn and see Supergirl sitting beside the window with a look of uneasiness
"Is Kara alright?" said Wonder woman causing Superman to turn with his own look of uneasiness
"When that man made contact with us, I felt my own memories get watched like a movie even the painful ones, but what really got me thinking is the guilt the man showed before he ran off" said Superman causing the amazon to frown before the loud cheer could be heard
"Superman I found a perfect description" yelled a cheerful Flash causing Superman to fly and see ancient Egyptian glyphs of a man on a throne with smaller people bowing to him
"All I see is Egyptian glyphs what am I looking at?" questioned Superman causing the flash to type causing a translation to appear
"Here now you can read" said the Flash with a smile of victory before he saw the small look of shock on Superman causing him to read and retrieve and equal shock
"So, the first pharaoh of Egypt Zecroma, who sacrificed himself to protect his wife and child from an invasion only to fall on the battlefield and rise up to power among the gods, some king he turned out to be it also said he's a war lord" stated Wonder woman sounding unimpressed as she read until she noticed Supergirl reading over the trio's shoulder
"So he sacrificed himself to save his family only to fail because it says they both fell with him" stated Supergirl causing the trio to read until the monitor beeped sooner showing Batman
"We have a problem" stated Batman before his face was replaced by a security camera showing a banks exterior with civilians
"What are we looking at Bruce?" questioned Superman before the camera sped up to show a very familiar man in a trench coat sleeveless shirt and grey jeans speaking with the bank manager before he brought out an RPG aiming it close range with a grin
"Now listen to what he says, I'm still surprised hearing this myself" stated Batman before the video allowed audio
"Mister Burkins, how nice to see you say how many people did you steal this money from?" laughed the man before he sent a knife of shadows towards a security guard knocking him out before he turned back to the manager
"Who sent you, was it his wife, best friend whatever their paying I'll double it" cried the manager only to fall on depth ears as the god smiled wickedly
"Face your punishment with pride you pathetic excuse for a mortal" laughed the man before the screen was engulfed in dust and debrief shocking whoever saw he explosion to see half a torso and head slowly heal itself with a grin before it became a look of sadness
"Possa tu riposare in pozzi oscuri dell'inferno per voi peccati, fucking bastard" said the man in a low growl before he was peppered with bullets that only bounced off him until he vanished into a cloud
"Did I seriously just see a man's chest heal itself?" questioned the Flash as the screen turned back to Batman
"You saw the works of a newly made mercenary, apparently he's already made a reputation for himself just by using the web" said Batman causing Kara to snicker while face palming
"Since when do mercenaries use the Web?"
"Since he just showed up I guess" answered Batman before the screen flickered showing a street camera with three men standing guard at a door with rifles and handguns
"Is this another explosion?" questioned Superman before the group saw a shadow of a man rise up the door before the unthinkable happened
"He just walked out the door" yelled the Flash as he witnessed the massacre of the three men who were thrown everywhere in limbs that were being eaten by dog like creatures while the door was crushed
"The entire building was filled with drug dealers and assassin's all of which were found in shreds by what could be described as claw marks like a tigers only more vicious" stated Batman as he showed limbs with bite marks and claws
"It's like Freddy Krueger" said Supergirl before the camera switched to show a wall that had an evil smiley face
AN: it's the one from disturbed :P
"It's the work of a demon that's what" scowled the Amazon causing few of the leaguers to look at her before looking back to the screen
"Do you think Cadmus is gonna go after him?" said Superman crossing his arms as the other leaguers pondered the thought before they went to the computers
Meanwhile in Metropolis in an alleyway the street was silent and cold the only habitant, a homeless man curled up asleep before he was awoken by a gust of wind and whispers causing him to look around in panic until he saw a mass of shadows fuse together shocking him more as a man manifested from the mass chuckling as he started walking
"Look out world, because a nightmare just became reality" spoke the man with an evil grin as he looked up a building seeing a golden planet before he began walking hands in his pockets as he moved away from the location moving with his head down before he heard police sirens down a street five miles away
"Well I guess the local police acquire some assistance" laughed the god before he turned and jogged to a street where the police were behind their vehicles allowing the god to sneak from the back fazing through the door opening the door silently as he came to a large room seeing three men guarding a group of hostages completely oblivious to his presence until he clicked his fingers shutting off the lights
"Now the real party begins" chuckled the god as he sank into the shadows becoming intangible allowing him to move between the three men unnoticed before his hands became claws allowing him to grab a man's neck before slicing the throat letting the man gurgle in his own blood as he saw the god move away
"What the hell!" yelled a man not noticing the man manifest behind him until a clawed hand burst through his chest holding the heart before he dropped it allowing the man to fall limp leaving the god with the last criminal who held a child as a shield
"Stay back or I swear I'll kill her!" cried the man as he aimed a handgun at the girls head causing the god to stand still before he vanished with a laugh
"What?, AHHHHH!" muttered the criminal before he was yanked to the ground before he was eaten alive by hell hounds while the god stood laughing as he walked away vanishing as the lights turned back on showing the slaughter to the hostages who screamed at the sight of blood
An hour later
"Hahahaha oh I'm gonna love it here" cheered the god as he stood on the wall untouched by gravity as he casually walked to the left feeling the sun rise behind him as he leapt off the building jumping from building to building before he stopped after an odd sensation on his mind causing him to look at his surroundings narrowing his eyes as he looked from building to building until he caught a scent as the feeling slowly faded with the explosion to his left seeing superman flying past, followed by none other than Bizarro trying to kill Superman
"Well might as well make it up to him" chuckled the god as he jumped to another building following the carnage before he heard a distant yelp causing him to turn and see Lois Lane being choked by the villain Metallo
"Well two timing bastards" chuckled the god as he pulled out a sniper aiming it at Metallo's head firing before he jumped onto Bizarro's back crashing him into the street onto a gas truck making an explosion that blocked everyone's view before a shadow emerged shocking them all as the gods body was scorched and vaporized showing the ribcage and inner organs before it slowly healed
"I'd say I've repayed you Superman, need some help up?" greeted the god ignoring the shock on superman's face before he held his hand to help
"The first time we met you fought me, and now you're helping me, Why?" said Superman taking the hand to help himself up causing the god to shrug for an answer before Lois Lane ran with a note pad shocked to see the god grin
"Uh Superman who is your new Accomplice?" questioned Lois Lane causing Superman to frown and look at the god who looked up in thought
"Knightmare a pleasure to meet the public" answered the god causing the news reporters to shiver at his grin of teeth
"Can we talk for a moment?" said Superman causing Knightmare to shrug before he was grabbed the lifted to a building by Superman who dropped him on his feet
"Ok I want answers who are you and I want a name" stated Superman showing he wasn't gonna take no for an answer causing the god to Grin
"Zecromac, God of insanity at your service"
