(Chapter 10: Throwdown)
It wasn't long for Danny and Jazz's grandmother to reach Khandaq considering that when you can literally run as fast as lightning it was quite easy for her to do so since unlike most people her powers didn't peek as she aged instead they really just kept going. Therefore it mainly took her not even a few days before she reached the capital where one of her good friends she's made over the decades has been since she did miss his company.
More importantly this particular friend was who she chose as Danny's godfather considering that she wanted someone competent to watch after her grandson considering her own daughter and that fat oaf she called a husband weren't doing anything in that regards.
(Khandaq, 1 day and a half later, 5:57 Am, August 24th 2015)
"Well I've just about reached it." Granny Cass thought as she zipped through town like it was nothing before reaching the palace like home of Black Adam as she ran up the walls and front flipped
"Nailed it Now then time to go find my friend and see what he wants." Granny Cass spoke as she walked in the palace and sped through it
"And finally found ya Adam as its been a while hasn't it." Granny Cass said to the protector of Khandaq who had so recently woken up
"Oh Cassidy its so good to see you as I didn't expect for you to be here so soon." Black Adam said as the white haired woman yawned a little bit
"Hey when you run halfway across the world nonstop to help out a longtime friend then you can get here like its nothing although there's one thing here though that I actually am at the moment." Granny Cass told the former champion of Shazam
"What's that?" Black Adam questioned as he heard her stomach rumble
"I'll have the servants get you breakfast made after all you've come all the way here to help me out so its the very least I can do for you." Black Adam said with a small chuckle as the white haired woman smile widely
"Hooray!" Granny Cass cheered as the taller of the two loosed another chuckle
"Still the same as always I see even after 34 years you really haven't changed a bit." Black Adam chuckled at the white haired woman before him
"And yet I rarely regret nothing at all." Granny Cass said as the two soon went off elsewhere
With that in mind Black Adam and Granny Cass shared a large breakfast with each other to which to no surprise the shorter of the two was like a tiny black hole as nothing was wasted as she practically inhaled her breakfast that had plates stacked up high enough to obscure her view. As they soon finished as the table cleared with dawn breaking over the horizon as they watched the sunrise cast Khandaq in sunlight, as Cassidy had to admit that the sunrises in Khandaq never got tiring to her.
"So Adam you never did tell me what it was that you need help with?" Granny Cass questioned the former champion of Shazam who sighed
"Well as you may know of my adversary in Captain Marvel correct one of that wizard's new champions." Black Adam spoke as she nodded back
"Yeah as too be honest the kid should just stop since he's a child acting in an adult's place and isn't ready to fully grasp the actions his consequences have. For that wizard is truly a fool in my opinion, since granting the power of gods to a child is just asking for trouble because this is real life not some fairy tale." Granny Cass said knowing that someone such as Billy Batson who was 2 years younger than Danny shouldn't be doing these things or having such powers
"I agree as to be honest that is why I'm glad that when you brought Isis back for me all those years ago that our son Osiris is learning what it means to be as a ruler. Because he may have inherited my power, but its also a necessity that as a ruler that he realizes that when you become one that there are no black or white spots only greys. Since one thing I will say is that in all my time as ruler I've had to make decisions were very hard to make yet I did so for the protection and betterment of my people. Because the heroes now fail to realize that order can only be established when you people's respect and they know you can enforce that order and stability. Something that these rebels are throwing into chaos as of now and have been doing so because of Captain Marvel." Black Adam explained since the thing is that these heroes didn't understand that to do the right thing you couldn't always be good and that sometimes you had to make that hard choice
"I agree with you Adam as after all these youngsters that dress up in spandex like kids on Halloween fail to realize that when you have to do things to protect that being good doesn't always solve it. Because I know this better than anyone after all my powers are drawn from nature itself and as such pretty much make me its wrath incarnate. So I've done many things in all the decades I've been alive to ensure that the people around me stay alive and that nature in all its forms is protected." Granny Cass spoke as wind and lightning briefly pulsed from her and focused from her arm and hand
"After all unlike many who use the power of nature mine goes far beyond simple plants and trees and instead is just my drawing from the nature's power of destruction to allow me to do the things I'm capable of. Since that's the thing about these youngsters Adam they forget that the nature of things is to remain leveled out with these heroes constantly being merciful blowhards that it makes things go out of whack. Which is why should any of them go against me in any fashion I will destroy them without hesitation, because as a druid who has drawn upon these things so heavily. I understand that with chaos their must be order to it and what their doing is throwing the world and therefore everyone I care about into chaos. Something that I can not and will not allow." Granny Cass added considering that she had a strong and she did mean very strong dislike for heroes since their way of doing things really pissed her off
"Good to see that after all this time you haven't lost that edge of yours considering that I'm going to need it for what's to come." Black Adam told her considering that he would need her to be as she was before
"What is it that you need me to do concerning these rebels, since its been awhile since I've done something large scale?" Granny Cass asked considering that its been a long time since she's had to do anything really serious
"Its simple really as I need for you to destroy one of the remaining hideouts to which contains the bulk of their metahumans that have been causing havoc across my kingdom. Because I would take it out myself however, there's only so much I can do as being a ruler to my people comes first. Not to mention that Shiruta is out doing diplomacy and focusing on making sure that internationally we are taken care of." Black Adam told her since neither he nor his wife literally had the time to take care of this
"Well add being a father on top of that and I can see how you've got your hands tied, but not to worry you can count on your good friend Cassidy to help you out. Since not only will I get rid of these bothersome rebels who have been attacking your kingdom and causing a mess, but I'll do you one better since we've been friends for so long." Granny Cass spoke to him since she could see in the weariness from his eyes that he need some help
"Really what would that be?" Black Adam questioned
"Simple once the rebels are down and out it'll only be a matter of time before this kid that doesn't know when to stay in a child's place comes here. So I'll end this thing and help you take him down as I'm not going to kill him since I've got a policy against killing kids who don't really know better. Yet that doesn't mean I'm going to have him realize why it is he should be in school instead of trying to lead a rebellion." Granny Cass replied since while she wasn't gonna kill him since he was still a kid that didn't know any better that didn't mean he wasn't gonna be give the mother of all "spankings"
"Thank you I appreciate you doing this for me Cassidy because you doing this for me means a considerable deal to me." Black Adam thanked as the white haired druid smiled at her friend
"Its no problem at all now then why don't you give me about a few hours to get settled, as after all I'd like to spend some time with Osiris and see how he's doing. After all he's a pretty good lad that I'm always happy to meet." Granny Cass spoke since she always did like the son of Black Adam and Shiruta since he was a pretty nice kid
"Of course, of course and if there's one thing I can say its nice see an old friend again." Black Adam said as Granny Cass looked up at him
"Same to you to Adam now then let's go on and have a nice day." Granny Cass replied after all it was a nice day out so why not make the most of it
(3 days later, Southern Khandaq, August 27th 2015, 11:37 Am)
It was 2 days later as Granny Cass had been on a warpath quickly taking out the rebels who had been not so much liberating as pillaging and terrorizing the masses with all they did was just dress it up, so that when Captain Marvel came he didn't suspect a thing. Therefore the tyrant rebels within hours were soon eradicated with many of the people thanking her for what she's done and now what was left to do was take out the last rebel stronghold and then Captain Marvel was next in all of this.
"Well this is the last one, as its now or never." Granny Cass thought to herself as she trudged onwards into the base
"Stop right there your trespassing!" One of the rebels ordered as she continued
"Didn't you hear me you fuckin' midget either get out of here now or we kill you right here." Another rebel said as the white haired druid's eye twitched
"You have 10 seconds to take back that comment or so help me your gonna regret it." Granny Cass told the rebel who had a gun pointed at her
"Or what are you gonna do about it, since shouldn't you be hanging out with the 7 dwarves and Snow White so why don't you fuck off back with the lollipop kids since the rebellion is for the grown ups." The rebel added as Granny Cass's eye twitched
"That tears it I was gonna make this quick for them, but now everyone fucking dies for no calls me short and gets away with it." Granny Cass thought as her eye continued to twitch in anger
"Hey didn't you hear me you shortstack…." The rebel continued to say as with a snap of her fingers a foot thick, 60 foot long and 2 story high wall of searing flame erupted incinerating those caught as the fire spread burning everything in sight
"You know I was gonna make this quick for all of you, but since you wanted to make short jokes then I think its time I do what your parents forgot to do and give you a long overdue spanking. So get ready kids as class is in session and the lesson is in pain." Granny Cass spoke considering that she's had to put up with rebels making short jokes for 3 days so suffice to say her limit on being nice has ran out
"Now then let's see how you all deal with real power since clearly you don't know whom you are fucking with." Granny Cass added as she raised up her hand as ozone began to permeate the area
With that the clouds above darkened till they were nearly black as pitch as thunder boomed overhead before she slammed her hand down and soon enough like an artillery shell firing off a large bolt of lightning struck with such force that the sand within 60 feet immediately turned to glass. With bolts of lightning ripping through the place like a pack of starving wolves that struck down does within sight without mercy as those that didn't run were electrocuted and killed off instantly, as soon enough she summoned forth a black and golden quarterstaff.
With that everyone opened fire from bullets, to fireballs, to icicles, to lightning bolts and even acid at her too which she proceeded to block with impunity as though it was nothing with her being surrounded in a done of black and gold, for any attack that hit her was deflected and smacked aside. For soon enough a cloud was formed in front of her from where the chaos she was bombarded with stood as everyone was on edge waiting for anyone to make the first move; that was with one of the metahuman rebels finding their throats crushed by her quarterstaff.
As soon enough she jumped up and took a deep inhale as out of her mouth flew out a hoard of locusts, wasps and scorpions among other such insects that soon with a burst of power grew to be the size of a beagle, for the rebels were soon screaming in pain as they were attacked by the swarm of now enlarged insects. For she soon revelled in the chaos she'd wrought as the enlarged insects did their job of tearing into them as their large stingers and mandibles pierced into flesh as although they were being picked apart by gunfire and some of the metahumans, it still gave her plenty of time for her to make use of her next attack.
"Damn this fucking broad as what the hell even is she?" One of the rebels questioned as machine gun fire rang throughout the base
"I don't even fucking know and I don't even want to." Another rebel spoke as he set ablaze a few of the enlarged scorpions as a bright flash of azure light appeared before brilliant sunlight raced outwards
"I swear they just don't make them like they used to." Granny Cass said to herself as amidst the remaining swarm everything in a 60 foot radius was wiped out by the blast of concentrated sunlight
"So then who else wants their spanking? For don't be shy since grandma has plenty to give out to everyone here." Granny Cass questioned as her her hand smoked from the raw amount of power unleashed
"Come on if we wipe this bitch out then those idiots in Khandaq won't stand a chance, so let's get rid of these bugs and then her!" One of the braver rebels shouted as he managed to rally some of them towards her as they all refocused their attention on Granny Cass
"Such fools they don't even get that they're already dead." Granny Cass thought to herself at their foolish determination
Granny Cass leaned on her quarterstaff until the rebels finished with her little diversion with their numbers being reduced by nearly a 3rd until they were able to turn their attention towards her, for the moment she did she merely snapped her fingers with a lazy smirk on her face. Soon enough large clumps of sand began to rise as those who weren't wise enough to grab onto something soon floated up into the air; until they were 8 and a half stories up in the air before she snapped her fingers again and they were all rapidly plummeting back down.
For soon enough the sounding of flesh and bone splattering onto hardened sand was heard as the desert was painted crimson with their blood as those that were able to survive were barely holding on after all; what would you expect after being forced to fall at 165 miles per hour. As soon enough she spun her quarterstaff in one hand as soon enough a violent whirlwind erupted out of it; for soon people were sucked into the whirling tornado that battered and bruised them like they were human pinballs until Granny Cass let the tornado run wild and such in more and more people into it.
And the moment she let it go loose it was soon a chaotic sandstorm that tore apart the area, as she began whistling a tune as she sat her quarterstaff down and began to evoke twin fiery scimitars into existence as she merely let them go and be sucked into the sandstorm. With her doing this 9 more times until soon enough a white hot inferno of a sandstorm was created, incinerating everything in sight as she continued to whistle as the rebels were soon sucked in one after the other into the massive blaze.
"I swear this was just way too easy." Granny Cass spoke as she soon sat down and took out a few hot dogs and put them on her quarterstaff
"Well at least until this dies down I have snacks." Granny Cass thought as she began roasting weenies within the roaring blaze as she got a phone call
"Oh hey Jazz how ya doing?" Granny Cass answered over the phone
"I'm doing fine grandma you know just here with Danny." Jazz spoke as she began eating one of the 4 roasted weenies
"Oh really well tell him hi for me will ya."Granny Cass replied as she began munching on the weenies
"Ok and what's that going on in the background is everything ok?" Jazz asked hearing the crackling of flames
"Yeah everything's fine just at a cookout is all." Granny Cass lied hoping she'd buy it
"Ok just wanted to see how everything was going in Khandaq." Jazz replied as she breathed out a sigh of relief
"Ok well I'll see you guys later in about a week or so." Jazz said before gunshots were heard
"Damn it Danny I told you we needed him alive!" Jazz scolded over the call
"I'm sorry but I want Walker's new location now and me shooting this guy the damn kidneys is pretty effective in getting what I want to know." Danny retorted as the ghost was screaming in pain
"Should I want to know what the two of you were doing?" Granny Cass questioned as she heard another gunshot
"Start talking or I shoot you in the other testicle and we'll see if you feel that!" Danny ordered in irritation
"I gotta go before this gets out of hand, see you later." Jazz replied as she quickly hung up the phone
"Well that's my grandchildren, as wow are they handful huh no wonder I love them so much they're just like me when I was that age just a good more lawful than I ever was in my youth." Granny Cass thought remembering that in her more youthful days she was a lot more chaotic and reckless with her powers
(2 days later, Shiruta, Khandaq, August 29th 2015, 2:10 Pm)
It was a few days after Granny Cass decimated the remaining rebel base and now she and Black Adam were awaiting for Captain Marvel to come to them and they throwdown and end this charade of a rebellion once and for all. Because Granny Cass really wanted to give this kid her version of a spanking for leading a rebellion and not knowing the truth or intentions to what was really going on, as the thing is that she wouldn't kill him because he was really just a kid who didn't know any better yet that wouldn't necessarily prevent her from beating the ever living hell out of him.
"Hey Adam when is this kid gonna get here already as I've got stuff I want to do and I'd rather not be kept waiting?" Granny Cass questioned as to where the champion of Shazam currently was
"I can feel him fast approaching as he's just a little over 2 and a half miles away from here." Black Adam answered back as the white haired druid sat as her patience grew thin
"Good to know and its great thing that we evacuated the capital, because things here are going to get crazy to say the least. Because that's one of the things I can't stand about these heroes their so concerned with playing the part that in the aftermath they forget how many children they orphan in their battles with the big bad." Granny Cass responded knowing that it was better the capital was empty since she'd rather not have innocent children get caught in the crossfire
"Agreed as why else do you think I instilled a zero tolerance policy on crime; because unlike the rest of the world I want to make sure that evil and all of the chaos as well as anarchy it brings stays out of my home." Black Adam told her as his policies seemed somewhat harsh, yet he did so because he refused to let the evils of the outside invade his home
"Huh I think that's something your godson could appreciate." Granny Cass said knowing full well that Danny could respect such things
"Oh yes how has young Daniel been recently, as considering my duties I haven't had much time to visit with him?" Black Adam asked on the status of his godson
"He's been holding on fairly well as of late; although I still have concerns about his mental state and wellbeing which is why when his winter or spring break comes. I'd like to request a favor from you that could help him out?" Granny Cass requested of the ex champion of Shazam
"Sure what is it that you request of me Cassidy?" Black Adam asked of her as she sighed
"That you could possibly take him under your wing for awhile, because in Amity Park he lacks proper role models evident by the fact that the only male one he has to go off of his his gluttonous and idiotic excuse for a father. So I want for you to spend some time with him show him around and maybe help him out a bit and show him what its like to have a male role model who actually will do right in his life." Granny Cass asked since she felt it in her grandson's best interest if he actually had a positive male figure in his life
"Of course I will do that after all it will give me a better chance to get to know my own godson after all I think that he and Osiris would be able to get along quite well." Black Adam replied as he loved the idea of getting to further know his godson
"Excellent to here." Granny Cass spoke as she now felt herself be in better spirits
Soon enough time passed before Captain Marvel arrived and once that happened Granny Cass lanced out her hand as a necrotic force erupted from her hand catching him off guard; with it washing over a section of his upper body. For soon enough his shoulder down to the beginning of his forearm and going across his right pectoral and collarbone as the moisture and vitality from those areas were drained that caused his body a great deal of pain as it festered itself into his body.
As soon enough Black Adam sucker punched him across the jaw and then chokeslammed him into the city below where he was further blindsided when Granny Cass whacked him across the back with her quarterstaff at such speed a sonic boom was made that shattered the glass around them. For Captain Marvel soon got up only for Granny Cass to smack him across the face with her quarterstaff, before spinning it her hand as orange red lightning began to build up before she let it smack him in the bottom jaw so fast that some of his bottom teeth were violently ejected from his mouth.
"Alright little boy you've got 2 options; either you can surrender now and we let this go to trial or you can be beaten within an inch of your life and we just send you to prison. Either way you've lost so please give up, because I really don't want to hurt someone who is way in over their head." Granny Cass advised him as she leaned on her staff since it would very much be in his best interest if he did so
"I will never surrender not until I have him brought to justice, for oppressing the people of Khandaq!" Captain Marvel spat in defiance
"Look you were the one leading rebels who were pillaging and invading towns and getting innocents that you as a hero should be protecting. Because do you know how many kids I've had to console because thanks to the rebels you led they're now orphans, as tell me something how do you explain to a 7 year old that their daddy got gunned down by rebels. Please answer me that since I and all the children you've inadvertently orphaned in a crusade you're too young to be involved in?" Granny Cass questioned as she stared at the wounded champion of Shazam who looked back at her
"I'm doing this so I can liberate the people from his oppression and if I must regretfully let people get harmed in the process. Then so be it as I will defeat the two of you and make sure Khandaq is liberated into a better rule!" Captain Marvel declared as he stood up as Granny Cass scoffed at him
"Well since you're willing to let children be hurt and orphaned then I see no reason why I should pull my punches." Granny Cass sneered as the sky darkened overhead
"Agreed Cassidy as perhaps some punishment is in order." Black Adam spoke as the tension and hostility was thick as a brick wall
For all was silent as all of them stood waiting for the first strike with the moment the first drop of rain hit; Granny Cass threw her quarterstaff high into the air as she summoned scimitars of flame and engaged in a furiously paced blitzkrieg offensive against him. With Captain Marvel having to be on his back foot as the blades of searing flame left scorch marks and major 1st degree burns wherever they struck as they hissed in the rain, as he had to continuously backpedal himself until a rabbit punch from Black Adam stunned him.
Before doing a double axe handle that smacked him hard into the concrete as he flew up a few meters to elbow drop him cracking the ground as he did so he just barely by the skin of teeth caught the next punch aimed towards his left temple, yet Granny Cass soon grabbed her staff mid air and launched a thrust that while they were caught in their grapple struck him at such a high speed that he began choking. Allowing for Black Adam to headbutt him and soon enough had blasted him point blank with a burst of mystical lightning; which served to temporarily blind him as he covered his smoking face as his vision began to refocus.
Only for tainted energies to spread across Granny Cass's hands as she used her immense speed to rapidly close the distance and with that in mind touched his face, as soon the champion of Shazam felt himself become sluggish as a potent fever overtook him with his limbs becoming heavy like cinder blocks and another touch from this energy soon caused him to began bleeding from his orifices uncontrollably. For Captain Marvel soon felt his insides well up with bile as his very being felt like it was enveloped in tar; which affected him greatly as a lightning covered haymaker from Black Adam came hurtling towards him like a missile as his nose was broken.
"W-What did you d-do to me?" Captain Marvel questioned as to why he was suddenly infested with disease
"If you can't tell what's going with your own body then it isn't my problem." Granny Cass spoke as necrotic energies formed once again in her hand
"Besides I gave you the choice for a peaceful surrender and you refused to listen, for what some deluded sense of justice" Granny Cass added as the blight she had in her hands became more intense
"What I'm doing is for the betterment of Khandaq." Captain Marvel retorted sharply as he spat out a moderate sized glob of blood
"What you're doing will damn it, as I will see to it that my country isn't ruined by the actions of some boy who doesn't know better." Black Adam spoke as he refused to let some boy barely into puberty damn his country he's worked for centuries to protect
Soon enough both attacks from Black Adam and Granny Cass raced towards Captain Marvel the forks of mystical lightning lancing out at his back and the empowered blight striking him dead center of the chest as he fell to the ground; with his powers working overtime to purge the diseases infesting his body which easier said than done. Especially since Granny Cass raised her hand and soon enough the air began to sear and burn around the coughing and stumbling Captain Marvel as he went to fly, only for a literal sea of flames to erupt for everything in a 100 foot radius as Captain Marvel bellowed and screamed in pain as the flames burned away at him.
Despite that he quickly flew out the conflagration screaming in pain as his body steamed and hissed in the rain revealing that wherever there was flesh full body major 2nd degree burns covered his body; warping his handsome face in to a mess of burns. With him looking up and looking up enough in time to block the punch that came after him however, unlike all the other times he faced off against his counterpart this punch was with far much more force to the point it felt like his arm was gonna snap from the impact of the blow.
Soon enough Captain Marvel was literally being beat down into the ground with the ruler of Khandaq pounding into him like his arms were gatling guns that just came into one after the other; for Black Adam was no longer just the enemy of Captain Marvel but instead he was a man fighting to protect his country and his family from being overturned. Before one final punch as hard as he could sent Captain Marvel careening down to the city square with such force that the pained Champion of Shazam looked at his left arm; only to see multiple hairline fractures going through his bleeding and limp arm that was soon rendered useless.
"How are you this strong….you weren't ever this strong when I fought you every other time?" Captain Marvel questioned as a glaring Black Adam stared him down
"Because the thing is I'm more than just simple villain and cruel dictator that you and your Justice League make me out to be, since all you do is see the forest but not trees. For I've ruled this country of mine for centurie and I've dealt with rebels who all wanted to be something more than what they could be through hard work and equal opportunities that I give to all my subjects. But you Billy Batson I thought that maybe we could've resolved this peacefully and come to some sort of understanding, but instead you help these rebels cause havoc throughout my country." Black Adam stated as a veritable storm of mystical lightning covered him
"And I have had it because you may be a child who doesn't know any better and has gotten in over your head, yet your actions have been of an adult who has orphaned dozens of children and made many parents have to bury their children. So as of this moment prepare for your punishment." Black Adam told him as soon enough thunderous footsteps were heard that echoed behind him
"What the hell is that, as how do you have a dragon of all things with you is this some of sort of trick?" Captain Marvel questioned looking up at a fully grown black dragon that stood hovering overhead buffeting the two with intense winds
"That my friend is the same woman who decimated those rebels earlier and has been fighting alongside me this entire time." Black Adam revealed as another roar was made from the dragon
"So then time to end this and for you to be punished since you want to act like an adult then you will face punishment like one." Black Adam spoke as he unleashed a miniaturized storm of mystical lightning at him
With Captain Marvel having to fly as fast as he possibly could out of the way as the blast was so strong that even the smell of it was causing him to almost choke as his boots and everything from the knee below were partially blackened with signs of electrical burns. Yet he wasn't safe as Granny Cass's large claws came to swipe him back down to earth with such force that the building he crashed into collapsed upon itself completely; with the champion of Shazam soon rising out of the building huffing from his wounds in a fight he was clearly outmatched in.
For he was so caught up in his thoughts that he narrowly evaded the stream of acid barreling down at him that hit him in the right leg making him scream out in pain as although the rain neutralized some of the acid; it still wasn't enough considering that from the thigh down his flesh had moderate to severe acidic burns upon it. This was only aggravated when Black Adam's lightning covered fist struck him in the back of said leg so hard that he felt it bend to the point of nearly breaking, for Captain Marvel tried to retaliate with a right hook only for it to be quickly caught in an armbar and dislocated from its socket as both arms now hung limply at his side.
With him soon punching Captain Marvel's face in so hard that where his nose was is now a bloodied mess of cartilage and oozing blood before soon having a jaw breaking uppercut unleashed upon him that sent him spiraling up into the air. And at the moment he reached his apex Granny Cass reared back her draconic head and let loose a full force blast of acid at point blank and as he fell down she unleashed yet another one that soon covered him in full body acidic burns as he crashed back down to earth unconscious.
"So is it down and over with?" Granny Cass asked morphing back to her original form
"Yes it is now." Black Adam responded as a bolt of lightning struck Captain Marvel to reveal a partially healed Billy Batson
"Good to know and what will you do with him exactly?" Granny Cass questioned as to what the ruler of Khandaq would do
"Because the boy wants to act like an adult by leading a rebellion that has done nothing but cause havoc and caused so many families and children to be orphaned and torn apart; not to even mention homeless from all of the money ransacked from them. Then I will have him imprisoned for high treason against Khandaq because what he did and allowed to happen to my people is unacceptable to its highest." Black Adam answered as while this was something he didn't want to do the needs of his people being given justice ruled over that of Billy
"Understood and its a damned shame Adam that he had to do all of this, since he could've had a bright future ahead of him but now that's wasted for some deluded sense of justice." Granny Cass sighed as she picked up Billy and hauled him across her back
"Agreed as let us go since the day is won and this rebellion has been ceased permanently." Black Adam spoke as they went off elsewhere
(The next day, August 30th 2015 ,Shiruta, Khandaq,1:45 Pm)
It was soon the next day as things were now able to go much more peacefully for the people of Khandaq, for now they were no longer being terrorized by the rebels who ruined their lives and their families with Billy Batson having been made public enemy number 1 by its people. For Granny Cass was hailed as a hero however, she was just content with one fact in mind in that she prevented anymore families from being torn apart in this chaos as that was all that really mattered to her in the current moment of time.
"So then how are you faring today Cassidy?" Black Adam questioned the white haired druid
"I'm faring well just thinking about my grandkids is all." Granny Cass replied as she couldn't help but think about them
"Understandable since I have no doubt that you're looking forwards to returning once things die down just a bit further." Black Adam assumed as she let a smile cross her face
"Can you blame me as with everything that's been happening to them and with what's been kept from me that I've had to go digging around in. I can't help but worry for their safety." Granny Cass replied as with everything going on with her grandchildren she need to be there so she could go to bat for them
"Something of which I hope you win, because from the moment you informed me of this I felt very much compelled to smite them on the spot for letting such things happen to them. For them to be neglected and abused like that is something that's completely unforgivable in my eyes; especially since over my lifetime I've seen it all." Black Adam spoke feeling just raw anger at the fact that her daughter and son in law allowed such things to happen
"While I think you for your sentiments I'd rather you not do that, since I still care for my daughter even though with all of what's been found out has caused me nothing but great disappointment in her." Granny Cass told him as she felt an almost overwhelming disappointment in Maddie
"Although I do have to ask when you do win this whole ordeal what will happen between you and daughter? Because things like this just don't blow over without repercussions in the aftermath." Black Adam questioned since things like this never went over well
"That's a question I ask myself every single given day since. Because I don't know if I'll still be able to even look her in the face after this or if I'll still be able to call her my daughter when the court case is all over. But one thing I do know is that I have to do this for their sakes since this was happening under my nose for far too long and I can't let it continue any further." Granny Cass replied with a somber tone in her voice heavy in forethought of the aftermath of the court case
Because never before did she think she could be so overwhelmingly disappointed and enraged as well as sorrowful at the actions of her daughter Maddie; for she couldn't even say for certain that when everything was said and done that she'd still be able to love her own daughter. Something of which killed her inside to admit because to have to go on everyday and know that your daughter let this and allowed for your own grandchildren to face abuse and neglect that made her burst a blood vessel was truly staggering to say the very least.
"So to answer that question I don't really know if or not I'll ever forgive her for this or even be able to look her in the face much less say I love you to her again. Because what she's allowed to go on for over a decade has wounded me in such a way that I feel compelled to violently vomit up my own insides." Granny Cass added because even to say this broke her heart and made her stomach turn upside down in ways a person who wasn't a mother or parent wouldn't begin to fathom
"The only thing I can safely say to even make this even the slightest amount better is that you did the absolute best you could as a parent; for that's really the only thing you can and could've done with Madeline. For these were her choices not yours so don't weigh yourself down with this because you have two people right now that need you to be there for them the most right now." Black Adam stated with a sigh at the end as he put a comforting hand on her shoulder
"I appreciate it still it feels like even with all the destructive powers of nature itself at my disposal I still couldn't save my own family. Something that is going to for the rest of my days haunt and eat me away inside like no other." Granny Cass said with a heavy sigh at the fact that with all her might she couldn't have saved them
"Understand one thing Cassidy that even now I still struggle from time to time to be a father to Osiris, because the struggle of parenthood is something that is never easy; which you already know firsthand. So I say this to you as a friend Cassidy that right now focus on what matters the most and that is making sure they can grow up with at least a semi decent home life." Black Adam advised to her since that was really the best he could off her
"Once again I thank you since even after all these decades I still forget that you've been one of my eldest and closest friends, for which I'm very thankful to have you in my life. Not to mention someone who I know that I've made the right choice as Danny's godfather." Granny Cass spoke to the ruler of Khandaq who smile back at her
"No problem whatsoever and I do look forwards to meeting young Daniel, since he seems like such a great kid who deserves far better and greater than that hovel Amity Park." Black Adam responded as he quite looked forwards to meeting Danny in the months to come
"And I have no doubt the two of you will get along quite well; after all he could use an actual male role model who's respectable and not an obese failure for a ghost hunter." Granny Cass replied knowing that he was far better role model than Jack
"Yes as how she married him is beyond even my comprehension and immense wisdom." Black Adam said wondering how a daughter of Cassidy Blythe lowballed herself so badly
"That's one of the greatest mysteries in the world to me as well and my husband, since he fails both as a man and a father and someone who should've had his right to breed taken away immediately." Granny Cass spat at the fact that Jack was a piss poor excuse for a man overall
"Well enough of that at the very least as let's not ruin today with talk of them any further, for let's enjoy these few bits of summer while it is still possible. After all Osiris would like to spend some time with you after all seeing as how your his godmother." Black Adam told her as she smiled at that
"Sure why not as I'd like to hang out with the little squirt while I'm still here." Granny Cass spoke as Black Adam smiled
"Good to here as let us be off." Black Adam replied as the two walked off elsewhere
"Danny, Jazz I just hope you two are safe and not getting in over your heads." Granny Cass thought to herself hoping her grandkids were still safe
So then with Granny Cass having ended the rebellion in Khandaq and her Black Adam having defeated Captain Marvel from further inadvertently sewing chaos into Black Adam's kingdom it seems as though the weight of the world still weighs on her in terms of the upcoming court case. So then find out how everything comes to a head in the next new chapters of My Phantasmal Lateralus.
And cut as hey guys sorry for the long wait with everything, but recently I've been having a hard couple months with my depression which has been getting so bad that I've been having to hold back down thoughts of suicide. Therefore I ask for the now future of my stories that you be patent with me since this is something that will affect all future updates; with that being said let's get down to it now shall we.
First off we've got Granny Cass meeting up with Black Adam who's revealed to be Danny's godfather something of which is gonna play a pretty big part in Part 2 of the story, as I'd think that with how long she's been around as a Druid she's made some friends along the way in high places.
Next up we've got Granny Cass showing more of her powers which I've based off of the Circle of Moon Druid from Dungeons and Dragons considering that it makes sense for of what she's able to do as someone who draws upon the power of nature. And just so you guys know we're nowhere near close to showing off her full powers because trust me you guys have yet to see all of her power in full magnitude.
Following that up we've got Black Adam and Granny Cass tag teaming Captain Marvel in a fight that I thought would be pretty cool since it allowed me to a small extent show that Black Adam isn't really a villain, but more so someone who's just really passionate about wanting to make sure his kingdom and country doesn't wind up like the rest of the world. Because this is a man who values order and wants to make sure that his home isn't overrun by that like the rest of the world which is why he sees Billy Batson as a problem in his leading that rebellion.
Next up we've got a bit of a moment between the two of them where Granny Cass is still being weighed down upon by the upcoming court case between her and Danny's parents since the thing is that the court case is gonna have major repercussions later on in the story therefore the appropriate weight needs to be put into it.
That being said please continue to favorite, follow, review and share this story as much as possible as I really thank you guys for your support this far as it means alot to me so please continue to get this out there as much as possible since I know this can be a really great story. Also flames will be ignored and criticism is welcome so long as it's constructive and well thought out.
With all that being said this is Pravus666 signing out as next chapter is Danny planning something against Walker in a possible overthrow of him from the Ghost Zone so stay tuned for that.
