The final battle
Wally, Superboy, Goku, Vegeta, Soundwave and Superman made their way through the fiery pits of Apocalypse, and towards the main castle where their friends remained.
"I can't sense any power levels one this planet, something's shielding my Instant Transmission." Goku complained as he removed two fingers from his forehead.
"And with Soundwave here we have to go slowly, meaning we won't get there for a while." Wally explained as he walked over a small hill.
"We should formulate a plan for when we get there." Superman suggested.
"You find your friends and Kakorot and I kill Darkseid." Vegeta said in a tone of arrogance.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No one is killing anyone." Superman said as he flew in front of Vegeta.
"You're pathetic. One life doesn't matter compared to billions of others." Vegeta said as he floated upwards slightly, and left Superman speechless.
"What about Levi and Kara? From what happened with the others they'll most likely be brainwashed." Superboy explained.
"You freed me, you might be able to free them as well. But it'll be difficult, Darkseid spent a lot more time on them than he did the others." Wally explained, but before they could continue on, Soundwave stopped.
"Soundwave, what's wrong?" Wally asked, before the ground began to shake.
"An earthquake? Wait...an Apocalypsequake?" Goku asked, before the ground just in front of them rose from the ground, to reveal a giant robotic head, bigger than even TidalWave.
"What the hell is that?!" Superboy asked.
"A copy of the Decepticon Trypticon, Megatron didn't want to have his ship ruined, so they copied it into this. IT was one of the tests Levi went through." Wally explained, before the giant Decepticon rose from the ground and let out a mighty roar.
"I'll take care of this." Vegeta said as he flew upwards. Goku just sighed and crossed his arms, as Vegeta put his arms out either side, and yellow electricity began to spark from him, before two small spheres appeared in each hand.
"Brace yourselves." Goku said simply.
"FINAL FLASH!" Vegeta yelled before he put his hands together, and a blast as big as Trypticon erupted from the two spheres. Everyone below struggled to stay standing from the force of the blast, all except Goku, who was simply standing with his arms crossed. As the smoke from the blast cleared, the only thing left of Trypticon was a metal endo-skeleton, that fell back down to the ground, making it shake in the process, before Vegeta lowered back down to the ground.
"We should keep moving before those vermin arrive." Vegeta said, referring to the Parademons, before he began to walk, followed by Goku, while everyone simply stood there shocked.
"We can't hold them off forever guys!" Static yelled as he electrocuted multiple Parademons.
"You're going to have to try until the others return." Batgirl explained as she fought off multiple more Parademons.
"We'd need another army to take down all of these things." Sylus said as he shot randomly, in his Nemesis Prime armour.
"There's no way we can get one in time." Jack explained as he and Sierra tried to help from the training room, while Joker sat tied to a chair with his mouth taped up.
"Perhaps we can. Master, might I suggest bringing, him, into this fight." Starscream suggested as he assisted Batman.
"What's he talking about?" Dick asked.
"Absolutely not! Should he be re-awoken, everything will be lost!" Ratchet argued.
"If we do not the Earth is doomed to be taken by Darkseid." Megatron explained.
"Wait, you aren't suggesting...Unicron are you?" Jack asked.
"A logical choice of action, Unicron's army will give us a 57.9% advantage over these Parademons." Shockwave explained, before he saved Arcee from an incoming Parademon.
"What's Unicron?" Guy Gardner asked.
"The Harvenger of death and destruction." Arcee explained.
"The earth itself." Bulkhead finished.
"No, last time he was awake Optimus lost his memory and forgot he was himself, Optimus already has a limited memory, if it happens again he won't even be able to talk!" Jack argued but Megatron came up with a solution.
"I will not awaken Unicron, but rather use his abilities to our advantage." The decepticon argued.
"Even so, you will use that ability to take Earth for yourself!" Ratchet argued.
"It's either that or we are all joining the Allspark!" Starscream yelled and Ratchet was left thinking about the situation.
"Ratchet, I don't think we have a choice." Bumblebee explained.
"Fine! But I am joining you." Ratchet explained.
"A logical choice." Megatron said simply.
"I'll come too." Sylus said simply.
"Can you hold them off?" Ratchet asked batgirl and Dick, who nodded in response.
"Rafael, put in the coordinates." Ratchet ordered, and Raf did as he was requested, before a ground bridge opened just near them, so Megatron, Sylus and Ratchet went through, and emerged inside of Unicron.
"We must be quick." Megatron explained as he the three transformed and took off. Goku sighed as he rubbed some sweat off of his forehead.
"I'm tired." He groaned.
"You're tired? The man that fought Frieza, Cell, Buu, and even Beerus is complaining about a walk?" Vegeta scolded.
"Hey! It's hot on this planet." Goku complained.
"Something's wrong." Superman interrupted.
"Why do you say that?" Goku asked.
"If Trypticon noticed us, then how did we get this close to the castle without being spotted by the Parademons?" The man of steel asked.
"They're probably too busy focusing on attacking the Earth." Vegeta theorised. Wally walked up to the edge of the mountain they were on and stared directly at the castle.
"We're close enough to bridge inside. Superboy, you and I will go free Artemis and M'gann, Goku, Vegeta, find Darkseid but do not engage until we're out of the building, Soundwave, Superman, find Optimus." Wally ordered and everyone except Vegeta nodded.
"Soundwave, bridge us in." Wally ordered and Soundwave gave a nod before he opened a ground bridge into the giant castle. Wally and Superboy sped through first, going as fast as they could, then Goku and Vegeta, who went through, then seemingly disappeared, finally Superman and Soundwave entered and began to walk around in search for the Autobot leader. Wally and Superboy sped through the castle and arrived down in the dungeons, where Superboy took lead and raced around looking for M'gann, until he found her, in a cell, alone.
"M'gann!" He said worrily and quickly broke the cell upon and raced to her.
"Connor..." She said faintly and he sighed in relief, before Wally walked inside, and someone dropped onto his back and pinned him to the ground.
"Artemis stop!" Superboy said as he turned around and saw the archer holding Wally up, ready to punch him in the face.
"Artemis, it's me." Wally said softly and Artemis simply stared at the speedster.
"It's Wally, we freed him from Darkseid." Superboy explained and Artemis looked to him then back to Wally, and saw his soft stare, in Wally's eyes.
"Wally." She said simply and pulled him into a hug.
"I missed you too." He said and hugged back.
"Connor...where...Levi..." M'gann struggled to say.
"I'm not sure, but first things first, we need to get out of here." Superboy responded as he picked her up, and the four began to leave, but as they exited they were confronted by someone.
"Kara?" Superboy asked as he stared at his cousin. She was wearing strange clothing and had a blank look on her face.
"Kon." She said simply and he smiled, thinking she was alright.
"What happened? Where's Levi?" He asked.
"Levi is fine. As for what happened, well, I've been shown the truth." Kara explained.
"Wally, take M'gann and get them out of here." Superboy ordered as he passed his lover to Wally, who nodded in response.
"Darkseid has shown me, it is the Justice League who will destroy this universe, and he is trying to stop it." Kara explained, before she rushed in and punched Superboy across the jaw and back into a wall.
"Run Wally!" Superboy ordered and Wally nodded before he grabbed Artemis and raced off.
"Kara this isn't you!" The clone tried to reason with his cousin, but Kara let out a mighty roar and began fighting him. Superman and Soundwave looked around the giant castle in hopes of finding their Autobot comrade, until Soundwave stopped and turned around.
"What's wrong?" Superman asked, and Soundwave simply pointed to a pair of doors at the end of the hallway, so the two raced over and entered. They found Optimus, he was at full size as well, but they also found the Superweapon that destroyed the Watchtower, which was using a Dark Energon induced Optimus to power it.
"Can you free him?" Superman asked and Soundwave gave a simply nod, before he began to rip the machine to shreds, so Superman helped, until something electrocuted the both of them, and they were forced to turn around, to see Levi, wearing strange armour and with his hand transformed into a strange blaster, different from his usual one.
"Levi?" Superman asked.
"Die." The boy said simply, before he blasted Superman with a green energy, and it went right through his shoulder, causing him to fall to his knees.
"Kryptonite blast, hurts doesn't it?" Levi asked with a blank look, before Soundwave tried to intervene, but stopped right beforehand, and felt to the ground, offline.
"Soundwave!" Superman yelled, before something faster than flash raced in and punched Levi square in the face.
"Goku?" Superman asked and the Saiyan nodded in response.
"Eat this, it'll help, trust me." Goku ordered as he threw the man of steel a green bean of some sort, so he ate it and within an instant all his wounds healed.
"Free him, Vegeta's got Darkseid occupied, I'll take Levi." Goku explained, before he gained an incredible yellow aura, and his hair turned from black to gold. Superman didn't question him and nodded before he continued to free Optimus.
"Move out of the way, Saiyan." Levi ordered and Goku smirked.
"Not happening." He said simply, before he launched in and began bombarding Levi with punches, which he dodged with ease every time, despite Goku's intense speed.
"Darkseid knows of your existence, and he has made me stronger." Levi said simply, before he punched Goku in the stomach, and pierced a small bit of his skin. Superman grunted as he finished freeing Optimus, who unknowingly transformed back down to his human-sized state.
"Come on Prime." The Kryptonian said as he picked up the Autobot leader, just as Soundwave came back online.
"Soundwave, we need to get out of here." Superman explained and the Decepticon nodded before he Opened a ground bridge and the three left Goku to fight Levi. They emerged on the mountain they left on, to find Wally, Artemis and a barely conscious M'gann already there.
"Where's Superboy?" Superman asked.
"Kara showed up, they're fighting in there." Wally explained.
"Damn. Goku's fighting Levi, and from what I can tell Vegeta's probably fighting Darkseid." Superman explained as he rested Optimus on a nearby rock. But before anyone could say anything else, something launched out from the castle, and crashed right near them, so the group raced over, to find a beaten Superboy, with his armour torn.
"Hey cous." A female voice said, before they all turned to see Kara floating with her eyes glowing red.
"Kara stop this." Superman tried to reason.
"She will only obey my commands, Superman." A deep voice said, as Darkseid appeared, holding Vegeta by the skull.
"Darkseid, let her go!" Wally ordered.
"Know your place." A voice said, before something blasted Wally backwards.
"Wally!" Artemis said worrily as she raced over, before Levi lowered himself, with Goku unconscious, being held by the arms.
"Levi..." M'gann said as she tried to get up.
"They're mine now." Darkseid said as he grasped the chins of his two warriors.
"Don't touch my friend." A deep voice said as Optimus stood up and walked over.
"My warriors, take them down." Darkseid ordered, before Goku and Vegeta were dropped to the ground, and Levi blasted Superman with his Kryptonite blaster, right through his side, before Kara sped around and knocked everyone else down.
"It is done." Kara said as she flew back up to Darkseid, and Levi began to walk back.
"Levi." M'gann said as she got to her feet, still badly wounded, and the boy turned around to his adoptive mother, just as Superboy crawled up to see everything. Kara went take charge in but Darkseid held up a hand to stop her.
"This isn't you, Darkseid's screwing with your head. Fight it. Think of me, Connor, Artemis, Sierra, Jack, Raf, Miko, Damian, Garfield, Victor, Raven, Jason and everyone else, they're depending on you to fight this!" M'gann said determinedly, before Levi began to walk over.
"You aren't evil, you have the purest heart out of all of us, you may be part Cybertronian, but you're still my..." M'gann said, but she was cut short, as a blade pierced through her stomach, one that was attached to Levi's arms.
"M'GANN!" Superboy yelled as Levi removed his blade and let her fall to the ground, with blood coming from her body.
"What have you done?" Optimus asked as he stared at his other half.
"Terminate them." Darkseid ordered, and Levi walked over to Optimus, and held a blaster to his spark chamber.
"Do it. You killed her, that only proves that my friend, is dead." Optimus said, before he closed his eyes.
'Terminate them.' Darkseid's words ran through Levi's mind.
'No! Attack Darkseid!' Levi's voice argued.
'Terminate them...attack Darkseid...terminate them...attack Darkseid...terminate them...' The two voices argued and Levi's eyes began to switch back and forth, worrying Darkseid.
'Attack Darkseid, terminate them, attack Darkseid,, terminate them, attack Darkseid, terminate them,' Levi pulled back his gun and grasped both sides of his head as he fought against Darkseid's control.
"Attack Darkseid!" He yelled finally and bombarded Darkseid with every blaster he had, seemingly killing the emperor. Levi panted heavily as his eyes returned to normal, before he raced over to M'gann and checked to see if she was alive, followed by Superboy.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." He said as he fought back tears.
"Levi, it was Darkseid, it's not your fault." Superboy said as he placed a hand on his foster son's shoulder.
"She's alive, but fading fast." Levi explained.
"Give her this." Goku said as he got to his feet and threw them one of the green beans.
"What is it?" Superboy asked.
" A senzu bean, able to heal any wound." Goku explained, and Superboy reluctantly put the bean into M'gann's mouth, and within an instant her cut healed and she shot up from the ground.
"M'gann." Superboy said as he hugged her, and Levi sighed, before an evil laugh filled the air, and Darkseid reappeared with Kara at his side.
"I must say, that was impressive, but nothing close to what is needed to defeat me." Darkseid said, and Levi stood up and walked over, his Apocalyptic clothing disappearing and being replaced with his usual armour.
"Got one more fight in you?" He asked and turned to Optimus, who smiled before he raced over and the two refused bodies. Goku and Vegeta got up as well, ready to fight alongside Transformer.
""Dick, look out!" Batgirl yelled, just in time for the Spiral agent to dodge out of the way from an incoming attack by a Parademon.
"This is hectic, unless we can multiply our forces by around three hundred we won't hold out for much longer." Wonder Girl explained as she beat down on a Parademon.
"Every hero is doing as best as they can, we just need to help." Red Robin explained as he blew up three more.
"We'd need an army to take down all of these things!" Sylus groaned as he shot multiple Parademons to save Ratchet.
"Perhaps we can get one." Megatron began to think about ways he could raise an army, and only two came to mind, but one would call open easily defeated warriors, while the other might not.
"I have a plan, but I do not believe the Autobots will be as willing to do it as I." The decepticon leader explained as he shot down multiple more Parademons.
"Megatron if you are suggesting we bring, him, into this fight I am everything but willing." Ratchet denied.
"Mind filling us in on what you're talking about?" Blue Beatle requested, before he was shot in the back.
"Megatron wishes to involve the Earth itself." Ratchet said simply, not wanting to reveal the true identity of what he meant.
"No, absolutely not, if he returns we are all screwed!" Bulkhead denied.
"The only way for this battle to be won is if we involve him!" Megatron argued.
"Wait, you aren't talking about...Unicron, are you?" Jack suggested.
"Exactly." Megatron responded.
"What's a Unicron?" Raven asked as she hopped over to Raf and Miko.
"He is earth. Thousands of years ago he was the mortal enemy of Primus, he was the Harvenger of death and Destruction, but Primus banished him into an eternal slumber, over thousands of years debris surrounded Unicron's body, forming the Earth itself." Raf explained and almost everyone over the coms looked up in shock.
"In my body runs the blood of Unicron, I can persuade him to help us." Megatron explained.
"Will it work?" Batman asked.
"It will, however once everything is finished he will awaken and Earth will be destroyed in the process." Ratchet explained.
"That's not a risk I'm willing to take." Sylus said, just before he suited up in the Nemesis Prime suit to gain some extra leverage over the Parademons.
"If we don't Earth is doomed anyway!" Megatron explained.
"If it'll give us leverage over these things then we have to!" Dick said as he beat down on some more Parademons.
"Fine, but how do we know Unicron will not destroy the Earth itself?" Bumblebee asked as he took down multiple more Parademons.
"I have a plan, I may be able to keep Unicron in his slumber, but perhaps his other powers are accessible." Megatron explained and Ratchet groaned at the suggestion.
"Very well, Sylus, you and I shall escort Megatron to make sure he doesn't betray us." The Autobot medic explained and Sylus nodded as he took down a few more Parademons.
"Can you hold the lines?" Sylus asked.
"We could use some more help." Batgirl said.
"We can do that." Guy Gardner said, as he floated down with 6 other green lanterns of other planets.
"Very well, Ratchet, Sylus, I suggest we leave now." Megatron explained and the two Autobots nodded in response, before Raf opened a ground bridge into Unicron, so the three of them entered it. Goku wiped his forehead with a sigh as they continued to make their way across the fiery pits of Apocalypse.
"This is harder than I thought." He pointed out and Vegeta looked at him in disappointment.
"You fought: Raditz, Nappa, the namekian, the Ginyus, Frieza, The Androids, Cell, the humans, Majin Buu, Lord Beerus and even me, and yet you're complaining about a simple walk?" He scolded and Goku rubbed the back of his head.
"I just didn't realise we would have to take this long of a walk." He explained.
"You're pathetic Kakorot." Vegeta insulted.
"Get down!" Wally hushed, so everyone kneeled down as they got to a small hill.
"We're here." He explained and everyone looked over the edge of the hill to see Darkseid's fortress.
"Soundwave, can you open a bridge from here?" Superboy asked and Soundwave nodded before his face lit up and a ground bridge opened right next to them, so everyone entered, to find themselves in the throne room of Darkseid, where the emperor himself sat.
"Welcome." He said with a demonic smile.
"I'll take him first." Goku said as he took a step forward.
"Hey! That's not fair you took Frieza first last time!" Vegeta argued as he got in his rival's way.
"Yeah but you were the last one to fight meaning it's my turn!" Goku argued, and everyone else just looked in confusion.
"Fine then, we'll play rock paper scissors for it." Goku suggested and Vegeta smiled before they began to play the game.
"Rock!" They both yelled at the same time.
"Paper!" They both yelled.
"Scissors!" Vegeta yelled
"Paper!" Goku yelled and Vegeta smiled.
"Ha! I win." He said with pride and Goku pouted.
"Fine you take him then." HE said grumpily, before Vegeta stepped forward to face Darkseid.
"So, you are Darkseid." Vegeta said with a smirk.
"That I am, and you are a Saiyan, am I correct?" Darkseid said and Vegeta smirked.
"Perceptive, but I doubt you've met a Saiyan as strong as me." He said cockily, before there was a bright light around him, and a white glow covered his entire body, before dissolving into nothing, and revealing a blue haired Vegeta.
"This is the ultimate form of the Saiyan, the Super Saiyan Blue." Vegeta said with a smirk, and Darkseid simply stood up, not at all bothered by the fact that Vegeta had become one of the strongest beings in the universe.
"Impressive, but what you fail to realise, is that I am stronger than even Beerus." Darkseid said cockily and Vegeta got slightly sceptical.
"Who's Beerus?" Superboy asked as he walked over to Goku.
"The God of Destruction from our universe." He responded simply, before, without warning, Vegeta charged in at Darkseid, and punched him square in the chest, but nothing happened, so Darkseid flicked Vegeta and threw him backwards.
"This might be harder than I thought, perhaps we should both take this one Kakorot." Vegeta suggested and Goku nodded before he ascended to the Super Saiyan Blue alongside his friend.
"Go find your friends, we'll take care of this." Goku ordered and the others nodded before they ran off. Wally led Superboy down to the dungeons while Superman and Soundwave went to look for Optimus. The entire building was hue, with twists and turns all around, Superman and Soundwave were having trouble, but Soundwave was slightly familiar with its Blueprints, so he lead the way, until they arrived at a giant room, where a full sized Optimus was hooked up to a strange machine, with Dark Energon being poured into his blood as a stabilizer for the machine.
"Can you get him out of there?" Superman asked and Soundwave nodded before he walked up to Optimus, and began detaching the wires from the Autobot leader. Wally and Superboy raced as fast as they could down to the dungeons, to find M'gann lying unconscious in the empty cell, so Wally unlocked it and walked inside, only for something to land behind him and hit him in the back.
"Artemis wait!" Superboy tried to say but she was already going in to fight Wally, but when she turned him over, she saw his eyes.
"Artemis, it's me." He said and she simply stood there looking in his eyes.
"Come on babe if I was Zoom I would be trying to fight back by now."
"Vegeta, I think it's time we brought, him out." Goku suggested and Vegeta scrunched his face, but nodded in response, before they went an equal way apart, and did a strange, dance?
"Fuuuuuuu...sion! HA!" They yelled, as they lend on their sides and their fingers touched, causing a bright light to emerged, and as it faded, a new warrior stood there.
"I am not Goku nor Vegeta! I am Gogeta!" The man yelled, and Levi smiled, before Gogeta and he prepared to fight against Kara and Darkseid. Megatron, Ratchet and Sylus entered the spark chamber of Unicron, which had last been seen after Optimus lost his memory the first time.
"You may wish to stand back." Megatron explained, and Ratchet and Sylus backed away slightly, as Megatron's eyes changed from red to purple, and his decepticon symbol did the same, before a purple energy erupted from his body and shot into the very centre of the massive room.
