With Superman finally in the action, he was with Batman planning how to deal with the threat at hand, and his Regime counterpart.
"We need to move fast. Innocent people are dying." Superman said.
"We'll take the others so you can focus on their Superman." Batman said.
"We'll do it together. It'll prevent more casualties. Then Superman." Superman said. "Doomsday's gonna be tricky."
"Then we'll force the fight elsewhere to avoid more damage." Jexi said.
"Doomsday is immune to everything that's killed him before. The only way is to imprison him somewhere he won't escape." Sectonia said.
"And I just might have a good idea where." Superman said.
"The Phantom Zone. There's a projector and portal to it in your Fortress of Solitude." Hope said. "Well, the other Superman's Fortress of Solitude."
"Yeah. We can toss him the moment he gets close." Jexi said.
"Anything else?" Superman asked.
"I know...this isn't entirely accurate but...it's good to have you back, Clark." Insurgent Batman said.
"Thanks." Superman said.
"You want anyone to back you up? Even the man of steel needs the help." Hope asked.
"Hope, don't even ask. Because I'll be fighting with him." Jexi said.
"I just wanted to make sure." Hope said.
In Gotham, the heroes, Adventurers, Squad and Jexi's group alike, with the Justice League at odds against the Regime, but mostly Black Adam. As he swung a car back and forth, it was soon destroyed by Superman's heat vision as he and Jexi arrived.
"Stand down, Black Adam. If Kamdaq exists here, I suggest you go home." Superman said.
Black Adam tried to attack superman, but the Man of Steel to knock him back to the highway. This gave Adam the opportunity to try and blindside Superman. He grabbed cars that were passing by and threw them at Superman.
"Stand back, Jexi. I'll take care of this." Superman said before he saw Jexi charging at Black Adam.
"Ultimate Color...Double Shot Cannon!" Jexi shouted pressing both arms into Black Adam's stomach, making him cough blood as he crashed into a building. "I'm not taking the side lines. I'm here...to protect this world!"
"Well, that was something." Superman said.
Sinestro came up with a large mace construct as he started bashing Superman into the ground.
"Superman!" Jexi shouted as he ran at them.
"Not so super, was he?" Sinestro mocked before Jexi was up to his face. "What in the…"
"I think you're done." he said grabbing Sinestro's ring off his hand before socking him.
"Nice hit." Superman said, as he was okay.
"Whuh…?" Jexi said.
"Get with the program, he's Superman! He can dodge that easy!" Rainbow siad.
Jexi ignored Rainbow as he looked at Yellow Lantern and glared at him. "If you don't wanna be next, surrender your ring." Jexi said.
Hal did the right thing and took his ring off, reverting to normal. Jexi took it as he crushed both rings in his hands and allowed the dust to fall.
"Wow. Just who is this guy?" Superman said.
"I'm a protector." Jexi said as he charged down the street. "And next is dealing with Atlantis!"
"Let us put this in layman's terms, Superman. You do not want to piss him off." Nami said.
"Duly noted." Superman said.
The Atlantean army marched the streets with a large tidal wave in front of them chasing off soldiers. But then it was being frozen by Superman's super breath before he picked it up and tossed it.
"Are you ready, you two? To challenge the might of Atlantis?" Regime Aquaman asked.
"Yes, we are." Superman said. "Plus a few more."
The Amazon Army took positions on the rooftops with flaming arrows at the ready.
"Hiyah!" Wonder Woman called signalling the archers to fire. Aquaman was able to command his troops to form the Tortuga to blocks the arrows before Superman and Jexi stood in his way.
"You may be a king in your mind, but trust me. You are no king." Jexi said.
"You people are not wanted here!" Regime Aquaman said as he prepared his trident.
"I could say the same about you!" Jexi said.
"Perish, surface dweller." Regime Aquaman said tossing his trident as Jexi only for Jexi to grab it and toss it aside.
"Ever since I got here, all I hear is how people have kept dying here. I can't stand for it anymore!" Jexi said.
"Then allow me to grant you a swift end, so that you will not see further carnage." Regime Aquaman said.
"Tempting, but no." Jexi said as he charged in. "Ultimate Color….Barrage!" he shouted as he repeated beat against Regime Aquaman.
"How…? There's no way a surface dweller besides Superman could be this strong!" Regime Aquaman said.
"If you underestimate surface dwellers like me, even for a minute, you'll be in for a big surprise!" Jexi shouted sending him flying. "We may not be wanted...but we're clearly needed."
The Atlanteans retreated as the Amazons drove them back. But it wasn't long until Doomsday crashed on to the scene.
"Su..per..man!" he said.
"So the monster comes to show himself." Jexi said. "Now we're getting close to the end." he added as he entered Golden God Mode.
"Drive him to the Fortress of Solitude!" Superman said.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Jexi said grabbing Doomsday as he flew across the sky towards the Fortress of Solitude.
"But...I live...to kill….Superman." Doomsday said.
"Then you'll live disappointed." Jexi said said sending Doomsday down to the ground.
"How...are...you… so...powerful?" Doomsday asked.
"I'm like him in a way. Always holding back my power even when I really wanna fight. But there's someone I need to catch up to, so I'm letting it all loose!" Jexi shouted as his aura surged.
He punched Doomsday in the jaw so hard, he launched him straight into the Phantom Zone.
"Doomsday's not today." Superman said as he caught up.
Finally, they saw the Regime Superman fly down to them.
"I knew they'd pull you over eventually. You don't belong here." he said.
"Our obligations do not end in the borders of our dimension." Superman said.
"I am this world's savior, I protect it." Regime Superman said.
"That's what's happening out there? Protection?" Superman asked.
"Disobedient children will be punished." Regime Superman said.
"Children? You are no god. None of us are. We don't decide who lives or dies." Jexi said.
"The decision is mine! It became mine when Joker turned me into a weapon of mass destruction!" Regime Superman said.
"I know what you lost." Superman said.
"And you judge me?" Regime Superman said. "When I kill you two, I'll bring Lois here. When she sees how I've perfected this world, she'll…"
"She'll be disgusted and terrified." Jexi said.
"She'll be alive! An outworlder like you could never understand!" Regime Superman said.
"Lois' death doesn't justify-" Superman started.
"He stole her from me!" Regime Superman said.
"And you stole this world's freedom." Superman said. "It's time to give it back."
(Cue-Brandon Yates-Alive)
"Rar!" Regime Superman said charging in as Jexi and Superman countered.
"There's no way...you'll ever keep ruling this world." Jexi said knocking Regime Superman off.
"Flux! Get out here! Flux?" Regime Superman asked before seeing Flux gone. "Where is he?"
"He fled. He fled the moment he knew I was coming." Jexi said.
"Why?" Regime Superman asked.
"Because he wants to escape and keep his plans going another day. He knows I'll beat the crud out of him the moment we're in the same room." Jexi said. "He knows when he's fighting a losing battle."
"But I don't!" Regime superman asid blasting them both with Heat Vision. "Out of my way! I saved this world!"
He blasted through Jexi and began assaulting his counterpart, but Superman tossed him aside with his Regime counterpart's own momentum.
"Now we'll save it from you! Take this!" Superman said punching his counterpart, again, and again, picking up speed as they sailed out of the Fortress and across the planet. As they flew, Jexi was soon catching up as both he and Superman were beating on the Regime Superman.
"You will never keep this world." Jexi shouted as his aura flared. "Golden Gods…Righteous Fury!" Jexi shouted as he furiously beat on Regime Superman without missing with a single punch. On the final punch, they had gone all around the world and back to the fortress of Solitude and smashed Regime Superman into a wall.
"Your reign is over." Superman said. "You won't terrorize these people any longer."
"Fear is the only thing they'll understand. One day, you'll learn." Regime Superman said.
"You're wrong! Fear is not what they understand. Happiness, laughter, sadness, love. We understand all of these wonderful emotions. You'd see that if your vision wasn't so clouded by darkness." Jexi said.
"You…" Regime superman said before he finally fell unconscious.
"We're done here." Jexi said as he turned to leave with Superman who carried the Regime Superman.
It was later that things were in the aftermath. The criminals and supporters of the Regime were arrested, and this world's Hal and Diana were sent back to be imprisoned by the Guardians, or by the Amazons in Themyscira. As for Superman, he was placed in a high maximum security cell surrounded by generators emanating Red Sun energy, suppressing his powers. And at last, the heroes of the alternate world were sent back. To go back to their world with Joker in tow. But only Green Arrow, chose to stay behind. As the Dimensional Heroes, Hope Squad and Brave Adventurers were returning to their ships, standing before them was Drake as he held a serious look.
"You...you were testing me weren't you?" Jexi asked.
"Yes. I wanted to see if you had gotten stronger since the last time we fought." Drake said.
"And you would have ignored my challenge if I just skipped this right?" Jexi asked.
"Yes. These so called heroes, have done horrible things to the Dragonmen race in the past. I wanted revenge, but you...you could do it without killing." Drake said.
"Yeah. I suppose that is true. But now…" Jexi said.
"You don't need to say it. I accept your challenge to a battle. You may even choose where the fights will be held." Drake said.
"Fights?" Nana asked.
"Yes. It won't be a single fight. Since Hope is with you, this is a perfect opportunity. Me and four fighters will battle Jexi while five of my other fighters battle Hope and his group." Drake said.
"Seems fair." David said.
"Of course, all of you fighting the five of each, no matter which team would be unfair, so ahead of time, the two of you will select four other fighters to battle by your side." Drake said.
"We've already got a few selections down." David said.
"I remember you. The boy from the mountains." Drake said.
"That's right." David said. "I came there out of concern for Ryuji. And now I have a score to settle with Raz."
"You got a revenge threat from the Wonder Woman of that world just to face him, so for your sake, it better be worth it." Zelos said.
"True, but you have no clue which team Raz will be part of." Drake said.
"I'll willing to take that chance." David said.
"Very well. Select where we battle." Drake said.
"Where the Furious Universe Tournament used to be held. It's abandoned right now since no events are being held." Jexi said.
"Ah. Perfect. No chance of attacking cities." Drake said.
"We'll be there. And were gonna beat you all." Hope said.
"I doubt that." Drake said as he took off into the skies.
"Drake….I'm actually kind of excited to battle him again." Jexi said.
"I don't care if he thinks I'm the underdog. I'm gonna beat all five of those fighters he's sending our way, with my friends by my side." Hope said.
"But you don't even know who we're even up against." Nana said.
"That's the exciting part." Hope smiled.
"You have learned well, Hope." Celti said.
"Right. Besides, we have time to prepare." Jexi said. "See you soon, Drake."
