DMZ Part Three
In New York City,Spider Man, Bane and Galatea of the Suicide Squad,Reed Richards,and the recently discovered Booster Gold engaged the full brunt of Vilgax's forces,halting them from destroying most of New York City. However,they were only able to halt about twelve hundred drones out of a fleet of forty thousand.
Booster used his wrist blasters to get the attention of most of the drones,while Bane barreled through them. Spider Man used his webbing to toss them into the air, but he quickly discovered that they were incredibly aerodynamic fliers. He ended up being forced to defensive formations,ducking under energy bolts,and dodging dive bombs from the drones. Galatea was preoccupied dealing with a 'Bulk drone'.
Bulk drones focused on physical strength,able to lift about 200 tons. It was however,very slow. Galatea punched it in its cheek, then blasted it backwards with heat vision. The Bulk drone stomped its foot on the ground,causing concrete to ripple forward like a projectile, but Galatea took to the sky and rushed herself at the Bulk drone, crashing it through multiple buildings, destroying its circuitry.
Meanwhile,Richards used his elasticity to take down the drones. Stretching up to flying drones,he entangled them in a blob of elastic mass, crushing them.
"Hey,Webhead, I could use some help with the heavyweight drones over there,"Booster said. Spider Man was incredibly annoyed. Had Booster not noticed the drones firing at him in mid air?
"Oh right,"Booster said, embarrassed. Flying forward,he used his wrist blasters to behead a drone, then flew over one drone,then erected his force field and toppled,falling like a rock...to crush the drone. The third was destroyed by Spider Man's web shots.
"How did you not notice me fighting those Star Wars rejects?"Spider Man snapped.
"Sorry! I had my own troubles,"Booster explained defensively. Spider Man decided not to respond to the time traveling hero.
Booster charged the three Bulk drones, using his force field as a battering ram,slamming into a drone,making it stumble. The Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man used his webbing to fling himself forward,landing a super strong kick to a Bulk drones. The third drone lumbered forward,flinging a punch. Spider Man stretched backwards, then did a back flip to escape the clutches of the drones. Spider Man webbed up a Bulk drone,then with all his might,hurled it at the other,destroying it.
Meanwhile,Booster was peppering the Bulk drone with charged energy discs. It punched at him,impacting against his force field. It rippled slightly,but with no damage otherwise. Booster hovered over the Bulk drone,and unleashed the full brunt of his thrusters,which bathed the Bulk drone with blue fire,incinerating it almost instantly.
Bane,Galatea,and Reed finished off the remainder of the robots.
"What now,"Galatea snapped,itching for combat.
"We're supposed to move on to the next territory, which is being guarded by some of Vilgax's living henchmen,"Skeets,Booster's personal robot, stated.
CENTRAL PARK
Mary Marvel,a new superhero from Fawcett City, rocketed Vulkanus,one of Vilgax's henchmen, backwards. The Detrovite lunged forward,knocking her to the side with a heavy punch. Tiring of the combat,Mary used her ace in the sleeve.
"SHAZAM!"Mary yelled. A burst of magical lightning poured down,short circuiting Vulkanus' armor.
Mary quickly repeated the wizard's name, to regain her powers,ready to assist her team against Vilgax's other servants.
Scott Lang had recently gained the Ant Man persona, and now he was facing Clancy. Both could control insects. Clancy's hold was stronger,and his bug mutation was outmatching Lang severely. Ant Man changed to microscopic size,but that was a mistake, as all the bugs swarmed him,clawing at him. Thankfully,Mary Marvel used an electric blast to destroy them all,which in turn severely injured Clancy. Marvel swatted her hand at Clancy,knocking him unconscious.
Praxis, a member of the Conglomerate, a team Booster had formed a while back. After Stamford,they were without a leader. They joined the New Avengers. Praxis had been sent here to deal with Vilgax's henchmen. Praxis used his psychic powers to knock Rojo and her biker gang unconscious, and then made Dr. Viktor go to sleep.
Commander Steel leaped into the air,rocketing the thirty foot tall drone in the face. Its face slightly shifted backwards, but two bursts of energy from the drone's eyes sent the invulnerable hero backwards. Mary Marvel hammered the robot with multiple blows to the face, and finished it with a final haymaker.
Galatea,Bane,Spider Man,Reed,and Booster arrived moments later.
"We could use some help. Care to come with us? We're going to deal with Vilgax's head henchman, Albedo. Got his own Omnitrix like Ben,"Praxis said.
"Where is that stupid kid anyway?"Galatea callously replied.
"He is actually fighting Vilgax himself now,"Mary said,uncharacteristically firm. Galatea chose to ignore Mary.
10 MINUTES LATER.
"FOURARMS!"Albedo roared,transforming into a black and gray Tetramand. Noticing the nine heroes,he glared. "So,the D-Listers chose to fight back? Alright,then,"
"I am not D-List!"Spider Man and Booster furiously stated simultaneously.
Fourarms clapped his hands,strategically taking down Praxis and Reed,arguably the two greatest threats. Reed,with his scientific know how, could easily devise a plan to defeat him,while Praxis could simply have telepathically mind wiped him.
"Smart bastard,"Bane growled, rushing forward. He punched Fourarms in the face, but the Tetramand replied with two fists hitting the stomach,while the others punched him in the face. The Venom-using Mexican escapee stumbled backwards,unconscious.
Galatea and Ms. Marvel flew forward,and Albedo realized his dilemma. Directly transforming into Big Chill,he unleashed frost breath, which Galatea's heat vision countered. Transforming into intangible form,he flew through the two,freezing them both.
However,they instantly broke free. Big Chill snarled,morphing into Chromastone. Unlike Ben, Albedo had mastered the form of Chromastone,able to use the form as well as Sugilite,the defender of Petrosapia.
Galatea let loose with heat vision, while Mary hurled several lightning bolts. Chromastone eagerly absorbed the shots and redirected them at Galatea, striking her in the face,temporarily blinding her. Commander Steel and Ant Man were also defeated by the assault. Chromastone flew to the sky,and punched Marvel in the face. Mary socked Chromastone in the stomach,then kicked the Crystalsapien in the face,sending him flying. However, she soon discovered Chromastone could absorb physical energy somewhat.
"Ha! Foolish girl,you cannot defeat me!"Chromastone gloated.
"Maybe not,but the two of us sure can!"Galatea growled,knocking him out with one punch. Since he didn't expect the attack,he couldn't absorb it. Booster Gold caught him, then dumped him unceremoniously onto the ground.
DAILY BUGLE BUILDING
"Ha! Ben Tennyson,thank you for your powers. Now, I must deal with you,"Vilgax chuckled,using the copy of the Ultimatrix,and transformed into Swampfire. Only this version of the Methanosian had blue fire coating both of his arms,was four feet taller,and was a lighter green.
Vilgax rushed forward, and fired. Methane flares rippled through the air. Ben morphed into Heatblast to absorb them but Iron Man and Superman were hit hard. Superman recovered almost instantly,but the flares disturbed some of Iron Man's circuitry.
A barrage of heat vision courtesy of Superman struck Vilgax,but a green shield blocked it. Vilgax unleashed a full barrage of methane flares,green discs,and ionic energy,which the three barely dodged.
"That's it! ULTIMATE HEATBLAST!"Ben roared,as his form of Heatblast increased to be incredibly bulky,resembling the Hulk in terms of size. His eyes were an incredibly deep shade of orange, as well.
Ultimate Heatblast used his strength to unleash an all out stream of flames. Vilgax's shield blocked it all,and a barrage of energy sent Ult. Heatblast flying.
"Hah! Ultimate form,Tennyson? Please. I have the power to destroy every form in your pitiful watch,"Vilgax roared triumphantly.
Iron Man then recovered. "Jarvis,upgrade suit to Hulkbuster format,"he grimaced. His suit's size increase. He had created this suit as a contingency plan in case of Hulk or other savage brutes attacking. Vilgax was no brute,but he certainly had the power of one.
Flying forward,Vilgax was peppered with lasers and missiles. Shockingly,Vilgax laughed it off. "You fool! I have withstood Gordanian neutron cannons! You believe your peashooters would harm me?"
"No,but I was hoping it would distract you,"Tony Stark smiled smugly underneath his suit. A blast of pure energy sent Vilgax flying.
"Hello,Vilgax,"Amazo droned. "My sincerest apologies for keeping you all waiting,"he said,gesturing to the three heroes.
"Robot! Do you honestly think you can stop me? I have the powers of three hundred superhumans!"Vilgax laughed. Suddenly,he began to choke up. He grew eight arms, each a different color,and one was fiery,a green color like the Brazilian hero Fire. His head was partially Iron Man's helmet,another part Captain America,and the bottom half Spider Man.
He had a red cape with the Superman emblem, a utility belt resembling Batman's utility belt,a flight ring like Booster Gold's, three Green Lantern rings, and the Speed Force coating his body.
"Holy crap,he finally absorbed all those powers,"Iron Man gasped.
"Not only that,his robots were simply analyzing powers for Vilgax,"paled Superman. He realized he was nothing against a being like this. Vilgax could possibly defeat Darkseid at his current power state.
"A disgusting amalgamation, Vilgax. You should not absorb all those powers. They corrupted the Osmosians, and they are made to absorb powers,"Amazo said pacifically.
"SILENCE,ANDROID! EARTH IS MY WORLD!"Vilgax roared ferociously,sending out a stream of powers. Wonder Man's ionic energy,Superman's heat vision,Green Lantern's energy discs,and many more pummeled Amazo,but the robot withstood them all without so much as a scratch.
"Very well,Vilgax. You will find out my strength is much greater than yours,"Amazo said mechanically, as energy erupted all around Vilgax. All of Vilgax's force fields failed to protect him,as the energy ripped through him,destroying every defense he had,and ripping his skin apart. His healing factors protected him,but the energy persisted, tearing apart his skin,and ripping off the adamantium lining his bones.
Vilgax slumped to the ground,deceased. "You will not likely hear from me again. I apologize for nearly causing your planet's demise,"Amazo said,disappearing in a golden light.
"Well,that was interesting,"said Tony.
