Crisis of Infinite Visions: A Wonder Woman Fanfiction Story
Episode 6:
Chaos possessed Gloss is starting to fly down to finish the Monitor.
But, then... Brainiac-5 calls out, "no! You got to go through me."
He high jumps over Chaos-Gloss...flip kicking her back.
Some magic dancing lights shine near blindingly over her body.
Brainiac-5 run charges toward her.
As the magic dancing lights quickly fade... Chaos-Gloss is standing there on the stadium platform, looking completely unphased.
Just then... Brainiac-5 down crouch spin kicks at Chaos-Gloss.
She falls off the platform.
Brainiac-5 declares confidently, "and you can't compute faster than me, Chaos: Because that would mean careful planning...which you never really got!"
There's a distorted laugh.
Chaos-Gloss reappears through a shadowy portal.
She slashes at Brainiac-5 with her astral dragon claws.
With help from his apparent belt's force field bubble slivers... Brainiac-5 holds up his force field sliver covered arms to block them.
He blocks them. But, he stumbles back hard from the element of surprise.
He quick tumbles back on his feet. But, his techno-organic body vibrates some from the impact.
Chaos-Gloss slashes her astral dragon claws at Brainiac-5. Astral and force field sparks fly from her slashes and Brainiac-5's force field silvers.
But, after several astral slashes... Chaos-Gloss darkly smiles.
With one hand... She collapses the floor under Brainiac-5 with a portal of magic dancing lights.
Chaos says, "goodbye...puny...circuits brain. You not worth...my time."
The portal of magic dancing lights sucks Brainiac-5 into a void of pitch black.
Brainiac-5 cries out, "ahh! !"
With his Legion flight ring implanted into the palm of his cyborg nano-circuit covered hand... Brainiac-5 flies for the way out.
But, the pull back is just as strong as him.
He struggles to fight it, speeding up more and more.
His nano-circuits through his body are flaring up and smoking hot.
He's coughing hard. His vision is getting blurry as he struggles to stay conscious.
Suddenly though... The Monitor's bodiless bodysuits punch out Chaos-Gloss.
She falls unconscious again.
And, in a distorted cry... Chaos flees from Gloss's body, through some magic dancing lights.
Chaos's concentration on the first portal of magic dancing lights has broken.
Brainiac-5 flies out of the closing portal of magic dancing lights.
He crash lands on the stadium platform.
He's still coughing hard and smoking hot. But, he makes it to a foldable black couch to lie down.
One of the bodiless bodysuits has its arm quickly turn into a water sprinkler.
It puts out the flames around Brainiac-5.
He's wet with water and a lot of lingering sweat. But, he seems to be in good condition now.
Brainiac-5 just kind of awkwardly says, "thanks."
A cylinder of liquid like light and dark yellow shapeshifting tubes phases out from below.
The Monitor barely steps out of the then still cylinder and onto the stadium platform.
He's coughing hard. His side is still fluctuating in spirit energy.
He's hunched over. But, he stands before a touch screen section of the super long viewscreen.
With a tap on it, a yellow and blue swirled spirit energy restoration charge courses through him.
Not fluctuating anymore... The Monitor sighs with mixed relief.
He then sees the image of Antitime Earth 2 on the super long viewscreen: Now just dotted lines.
The Monitor nervously turns back to Brainiac-5.
Brainiac-5 asks, "what's wrong? Maybe I could check back with..."
Still coughing some... The Monitor regrettably says, "my apologies, Brainiac-5. But... Hard cough! Your world... Hard cough. Your world is gone."
Brainiac-5 mutters under his breath, "no. No!"
He sighs into his hands. Some silent tears fall from his face.
And, all The Monitor can do is solemnly look at him.
Meanwhile, on Earth-21209...
Earth-21209 Batman interestingly keeps his arms by his side, with his hands not in fists.
He calmly says, "that won't be necessary, Red Arrow."
Red Arrow is standing behind a burning Bat Signal, aiming a arrow for Earth-21209 Batman.
Earth-21209 Batman figures, "I'll explain myself."
The three Wonder Women present look somewhat relieved.
Wonder Woman adds, "that's a start."
Earth-21209 Batman grimly admits, "I only did it to protect this world."
Nightwing argues, "protect it? You destroyed superheroes!"
He's pointing accusingly at him as he says it.
Earth-21209 Batman turns to Wonder Woman, "don't believe him, Wonder Woman."
In Wonder Woman's mind... Earth-21209 Batman's softer tone reminds her of another life: Of Boom Tubes and Wayne Enterprises's World Caves.
Sounding kind of stunned... Wonder Woman realizes, "you know me well in this world?"
Before Earth-21209 Batman can answer... Nightwing interrupts, "no, don't give me that! It's your fault. You left this world to end!"
Earth-21209 Batman recalls, "I didn't send a antimatter wave. If it wasn't for me, we'd already be gone. My spirit shield."
Nightwing brings up, "you're right about that, Bruce. But, without the Amazons, Hal Jordan, Superman... Let's not forget the many other superheroes you destroyed. You left this world to end!"
Wonder Woman inquires nervously, "Bruce? Is this true?"
Against red tint in 21209-Earth Batman's black rimmed magic mirror... Some flashes flash by: Of Diana in her Spiritwear and Bruce in a formal black and white suit at a altar, of the silhouette of a Superman with dark red glowing eyes tearing at Wonder Woman's falling silhouette...and of the silhouette of Queen Antiope crushing the silhouettes of android Superman and Lex Luthor with tightening Wonder Woman's own golden lasso around them.
Earth-21209 Batman solemnly explains, "we knew each other...until Lex Luthor and a reprogrammed android duplicate of Superman destroyed you and Superman. Antiope destroyed them. But, she had gone down to a dark place. She never came back. After that day... Faint sniffle. I realized Cadmus was right about one thing: Heroes with super powers are too powerful. I chose to make the only best choice: To end the choice altogether to spare them from themselves."
Earth-1975 Wonder Woman starts to cry, finding it hard to look up.
Tears fall from Wonder Woman's face. Earth-1900 Wonder Woman gets teary eyed.
Wonder Woman sadly says, "by the gods, Bruce. Sniffle! I understand why you've done this. But, you've lost your mind."
There's a chilling silence.
Somewhat uneasily... Earth-2011 Wonder Woman figures, "I don't know what perfect what he is. But, I'm kind of good at strike backs. And, for this big bad up in the spirit dome thing... Faint laugh. Well, we got to have all the strikers we can. I say we should let him help."
Wonder Woman and Earth-1900 Wonder Woman very faintly chuckle.
Earth-21209 Batman very faintly smirks.
Earth-1975 Wonder Woman looks up.
She faintly sniffles. But, she doesn't say much.
Earth-1900 Wonder Woman cuttingly comments, "well, I'll be damned. That sounds almost like darkness and insanity isn't within your dim light."
Earth-1975 Wonder Woman very faintly chuckles at that.
Earth-2011 Wonder Woman heatedly glares back at Earth-1900 Wonder Woman.
Back in 1944, in Harbringer's mind...
She finds herself in a hotel: With branched off hallways with half reddish tan and half lined yellow wood walls and wood black doors.
She looks around, a little on edge.
Several Harbringer spirit duplicates are walking down the halls. They and the first Harbringer each have a green tinted light gun pointer modeled after her helmet.
They pass and check most of the doors. But, they find nothing.
The first Harbringer very faintly smiles, looking amused.
She realizes, "I've seen this movie before. The body is down the hall. Cover the back window."
She lightly gestures over to a wide back window off to the side.
Her spirit duplicates just say, "yes, Lyla."
They're gathering around the back window.
The first Harbringer fast walks down a hall.
She's remembering Viktor Rostavili and his gang in a shootout from a certain movie she saw.
But, suddenly... The walls turn grim yellow.
Bubbling silver lined water tanks appear between doors. Distorted screams come from behind.
The floor turns into pool like metal grating, dripping wet in water and melting snow.
Harbringer swings open a apartment door...to find two shadow Dark Angels.
Several unconscious bodies of Green Lanterns and Amazons are on the floor. Light blue to red spirit energy blade and Green Lantern lights are quickly fading by them.
Through the shadow Dark Angels... Chaos taunts, "Lyla Michaels. Harbringer. Always so...far from home. Always...helpless to save...you friends in the end."
Harbringer gets teary eyed. But, she stands her ground.
She concludes, "no. Faint sniffle. Even in the darkest of times, heroic spirits are stronger than chaos. I know I can't save everyone. But, by Gaia and Uranus's light of hope, I will save every spirit I can. I will stop you again and again!"
Chaos says, "you...can try."
The shadow Dark Angels fire magic dancing lights from their hands.
With her arms out... Harbringer bends the incoming magic dancing lights around her.
They completely miss her. But, the hall is very burnt.
One of her spirit duplicates sneaks in through a back door, firing laser fast fire into one of the shadow Dark Angels. The second shadow Dark Angel goes down, fading away through the wall.
The first shadow Dark Angel fly charges into a chandelier, creating many little blinding flares.
Both Harbringers reactively shield their eyes. But...the spirit duplicate is not fast enough.
She is bent over the wall, temporarily blinded and groaning some.
The first shadow Dark Angel reappears out from the bubbling water tank in the open bathroom.
She quick fires magic dancing lights into the spirit duplicate...destroying her in a puff of smoke.
A bright blue spirit energy ripple runs through the first Harbringer.
She groans hard, bent over in the mental feedback of having a spirit duplicate of hers destroyed.
Shadow Dark Angel laughs distortedly.
She fires magic dancing lights into Harbringer.
Harbringer falls through a portal of magic dancing lights.
Suddenly... She's crashing through the then shattering back window.
Silvery hail rains down over a bay. The waters are rising up in a geyser.
Harbringer fires bright blue spirit energy projections, destroying a lot of incoming hail. But, she keeps getting hit by a lot of silvery hail.
She coughs hard. She's falling for the waters.
Shadow Dark Angel appears, floating by the shards.
She simultaneously fires magic dancing lights at the glass shards.
The glass shards explode in one big dark red spirit ripple...knocking back Harbringer's spirit duplicates against the walls from the impact.
They're lying on the floor, dazed and groaning.
With a deep breath though... The first Harbringer chronokinetically slows down everything around her: Even the silvery hail.
She very faintly smiles to herself. She breathes a short sigh of relief.
Then, in mental seconds... She fly charges back at Shadow Dark Angel.
Before she can react... Harbringer hurls her hard for the waters below.
There's a loud splash.
Out in the physical...
Dark Angel falls back from the sudden change of momentum.
She's trying to grab at the Astral Compression Fork tower with both her hands. But, she misses.
She shrieks in frustration.
Easy Company, Harbringer, and Harbringer's left standing spirit duplicates start coming to.
The magic dancing lights covered snowfall is giving way to the coming antimatter wave.
Harbringer's spirit duplicates spilt up, flying into the sky.
With their chronokinesis, light manipulation, and darkness manipulation... They're sealing the cosmic ruptures over the little magic dancing lights as they begin.
The first Harbringer is fly charging up the Astral Compression Fork, firing and firing at the coming Shadow Manhunters.
They're getting chronokinetically frozen in time in bright blue spirit energy glows...before dropping hard on the ground one by one in a growing big pile of shadow beings.
Back in the year 2013, on Earth-DCSHG...
Two Shadow Manhunters grab Supergirl from behind.
Supergirl struggles to break free long enough to laser eye blast them. From lessons in Super Hero High, she knows all too well a sonic cry would not work on these beings.
She coughs hard. She's starting to lose consciousness before magic dancing lights.
She laser eye blasts around her in desperation.
She falls for a antimatter hole under her. Shadow Manhunters fly away out of range.
But, as she's falling unconscious... Supergirl interestingly very faintly laughs.
And, with a very bittersweet smile... Supergirl reflects to herself, "the only way to live with myself...is to get my super hero on no matter what."
With teenage Poison Ivy's green vines and teenage Batgirl's bat grappling hook, they reach out to her in the near blinding light.
But... The vines, the bat wings from Batgirl's stealth suit for Stealth 101, Poison Ivy's green hat with a pink rose, and the grappling hook are torn apart...vanishing before the antimatter holes.
Teary eyed under her stealth mask... Batgirl cries out, "no! Supergirl! ! !"
Teary eyed under her pink glasses stealth disguise... Poison Ivy cries out, "sun child: No! ! !"
Then... All of Earth-DCSHG falls before the magic dancing lights.
Back in 1944, in Markovia...
Dark Angel gets up...to find Easy Company pointing their light gun pointers at her.
She shrieks some in surprise. But, she glares piercingly at them: Looking ready to slash at them with her fingernails alone.
The first Harbringer calls down, "thank you for the help, Sergeant!"
With her arms out, she's landing down in front of them.
The Shadow Manhunter forces around the Astral Compression Fork are all down in one big pile.
In red, orange, and blue crackles... Harbringer's spirit duplicates are blending back into her body.
Most of Easy Company is still shook and stunned with everything. But, they stand their ground.
Sounding a bit shook himself... Sergeant Rock concludes, "well, this is hell o' crazy for the record books. But, you be welcome. Who are you anyway? I still don't like us much mystery."
With a faint smile, Harbringer introduces herself, "that's okay. I'm Lyla Michaels. I also am known across corners of the universe as Harbringer."
Harbringer and Sergeant Rock kind of awkwardly shake hands.
With a firm smirk, Sergeant Rock comments, "Rock. But, you sure already know I'm a Sergeant." Harbringer adds, "yes."
Less awkwardly... Sergeant Rock concludes, "well, it 'bout time Easy Company got this witch out of this war. How 'bout then we...?"
Suddenly...the fallen Shadow Manhunters turn into a giant shadow hand of Chaos.
It crushes the Astral Compression Fork.
The impact of the explosion knocks Easy Company and Harbringer hard to the ground.
But, with a outstretched hand... Harbringer chronokinetically slows the impact around them.
When Harbringer gets up...
Dark Angel is already gone. So is the shadow hand.
Unfortunately, thanks to new ruptures... 1944 of Earth-0 is vanishing before the antimatter wave.
Easy Company is just coming to...when they vanish in their screams before the antimatter wave.
Harbringer tries to reach out to Sergeant Rock, ready to release spirit energy duplicates to try to reach out to the others. But...it's too late.
Teary eyed... Harbringer cries out, "no! ! !"
Within a second of vanishing before the antimatter wave's blinding light... She uses her chronokinesis to give herself more seconds.
And, in a flash of spreading out purple, pink, and white nebula rings... She escapes from the blinding light: Heading back to the year 2013.
Presently, back on Earth-21209...
Piles of Shadow Manhunters are phasing through the spirit energy dome.
Indigo is firing forming force fields and dark pink energy blasts at a pile of them. Metamorpho is lunging and backhand punching with his gone elastic wind gust arm and his gone solid metal mace arm to send Shadow Manhunters flying into the force fields and his briefly solidifying metal fists.
The force field bubbles trap them in midair. But, they soon start phasing out of them too.
Starfire and Red Arrow are firing green starbolts and electric charged red arrows from their positions. Earth-947 Wonder Woman is punching and swinging away with her golden lasso at one stunned Shadow Manhunter after another.
But, the coming Shadow Manhunters just phase through the next round.
As a big spiraling up crystal pillar... Shift kind of slowly begins to return to his original form.
High up beside him... Metamorpho checks, "you sure you're up to this, Shift?"
With a faintly smile, Shift comments, "always giving me a hard time, Rex."
Somewhat tense... Metamorpho brings up, "well, I don't want you crumpling out on me. I may still not like it or you being cozy with Indigo. But, you're still a regrown clone of me."
With a faint chuckle, Shift remarks, "thank you, metamorph obvious."
Metamorpho faintly smiles back.
They join metamorphing arms...transforming into metal studded crystal forms giving off near blinding light: With wind gusts keeping them both afloat.
Shadow Manhunters shriek some and back away before the bright light.
But, Metamorpho, Shift, and Indigo are fly charging after them.
At super fast speed, Nightwing drives his Wingcycle up the nearest Wayne Enterprises building.
Wonder Woman is in the passenger sidecar. She's faintly smiling.
The Wingcycle takes off of the jagged edge of the building...and into the sky.
Looking completely unphased... Nightwing presses a button on the Wingcycle.
The spirit energy silver laced in the spokes in the wheels spark in near white blue spirit energy.
In several mortal seconds... The Wingcycle's wheel makes contact with the spirit energy dome.
The Wingcycle whirls around...speeding on the spirit energy dome's inner surface.
With one free hand... Nightwing throws light blue spirit energy charged wing dings into one stunned Shadow Manhunter after another.
Wonder Woman throws her golden lasso over Shadow Manhunter after another...bringing them in into her silver red spirit energy blade in her other hand to make them fall one after another.
Earth-21209 Batman is flying his dark blue and black plated battle wear styled Batplane in...firing dark silver batarangs of spirit energy upon a pile of Shadow Manhunters.
They cover themselves with their shadow arms. But, they're fluctuating some and falling back.
On top of the Batplane's wings... Earth-2011 Wonder Woman and Earth-1975 Wonder Woman are roping in Shadow Manhunters with their golden lassos.
Over a loudspeaker of his... Earth-21209 Batman says, "Batman to 1900 Wonder Woman. Now."
High in the sky... Earth-1900 Wonder Woman faintly smiles.
With a battle cry... Earth-1900 Wonder Woman releases God-Overkill lightning through the whole spirit energy dome.
It crackles through...striking at piles of Shadow Manhunters and avoiding spirit energy sources.
They all vanish in shrieks, smoke, and distorted laughter.
Earth-2011 Wonder Woman frowns.
She goes, "aw. I was really hoping to shut them up myself."
Earth-1975 Wonder Woman nervously sighs, looking away.
Just then... There's a flash of near blinding sky blue, greenish red, and pink.
Crackling pink and light blue magic dancing light turns into blinding backwards balls of antimatter lightning. A near deafening distorted scream is heard from the very cosmos itself.
The spirit energy dome bursts apart...in a massive shockwave of little antimatter lightning.
Robin quadruple flips acrobatically off his Wingcycle, grabbing Wonder Woman away in time.
He barely lands back on his feet on a apartment rooftop, almost falling over along with her.
Caught completely off guard... Earth-1975 Wonder Woman, Earth-2011 Wonder Woman, and the gone aflame Batplane are crashing down into a then collapsing Wayne Enterprises Building.
Earth-21209 Batman activates his battlesuit's built-in bat wings, gliding out of the exploding Batplane. He tumbles back to his feet on a high up heavily damaged floor.
He's looking back at the wreckage quite shook. And yet, appearing before him...is Hermes and Harmonia a bright blue sky swirled ghostly glow.
Earth-21209 Batman says, "dear god. What's happening to you, Hermes?!"
Through the distorting away glow... Hermes and Harmonia faintly smile, teary eyed.
In magic dancing lights and distortions... They try to warn him, "Chaos storm... Troy... ...can't see... Please help...u...s..."
And, just as quickly... They vanish back into the cosmos with the ghostly glow.
Earth-21209 Batman reaches out to Harmonia. But, he doesn't get to her in time.
Not sure where to even start... He just sighs hard to himself.
Starfire, Earth-947 Wonder Woman, and Earth-1900 Wonder Woman have stayed up in the sky, covering their eyes. They're now flying around the city block to look for any sign of life.
Across Earth-21209, across every city block and forest...it's all burned to ash.
The only things that aren't are the storm shelters and basements under ground.
Across Earth-21209... Hundreds of people in torn up clothes are pulling themselves out of the wreckage, groaning hard. But, they are still conscious.
Red Arrow pulls himself out of some wreckage high up. Earth-1900 Wonder Woman pulls Earth-1975 Wonder Woman out of the wreckage. Earth-2011 Wonder Woman has scaled and high jumped her way back down to the ground to dig out Devastator Woman's left unconscious body.
In a collapsed building... Indigo lowers a force field bubble around her, Shaft, and Metamorpho.
But, they just look shook by the sight before them: Not physically rattled much.
Teary eyed... Starfire cries out, "Robin! ! !"
She rushes to Robin's side, hugging him. Wonder Woman awkwardly moves out of the way.
Robin hugs her back.
Sounding fairly shook... Robin insists, "it's...ok, Starfire. Maybe now it is."
Solemnly... Wonder Woman looks out to the wreckage, "yeah. Maybe for this world."
Despite her teary eyes... She very faintly smiles over the thought of hopefulness.
