And Injustice For All 3
Chapter 20: Absolute Justice
A battle began between Melody and Superman. Superman had the advantage early on until Supergirl stops him. He has Melody by the throat lifting her in the air.
"You don't want to do this."
Green Lantern attacked Superman from behind, releasing Melody.
"Melody, this is not your fight," said Batman.
"This has been my fight for too long, Bruce. You are responsible for bringing me and Chris here. This is my fight, and I will finish it!"
"Stop, Clark! It's over," said Hal.
Wonder Woman unsheathes her sword but The Flash grappled her from behind. Diana elbowed him in the face. Hal was ready when Black Adam took Supergirl. Aquaman fought Batman with his trident. Batman unleased a smoke grenade, and then kicked him down. Superman punched Hal away. Melody knees Diana in the jaw and super kicked her down. Green Lantern shielded himself using his ring but Superman broke the shield. Hal created a hand that grabbed Superman and threw him out of Brainiac's ship and flew after him. Aquaman and Batman continued fighting. Aquaman mentioned that Bruce never understood Atlantis as a ancient world with an old fashioned sense of Justice. But Batman floors him.
"Atlantis needs to get with the times."
Unwilling to give up, Aquaman continued fighting until Batman took his trident and stabbed him in the left thigh with it.
"I'm tired of this, Arthur."
Black Adam blasted lightning at Supergirl. Batman tried to stop him but was hit with lightning. He did not count on Melody dropkicking him from behind. Rather than fighting her, he continued with Batman. Melody tended to Supergirl. Black Adam took Batman out of the hole on Brainiac's ship outside. The Flash defeated Wonder Woman and joined Melody and Supergirl.
"She'll be ok."
"Batman knew he'd double-crossed have to move!"
Above Gotham City, Black Adam had Batman close to him.
"There's no escape."
Batman headbutts him.
"You wish to fall? So be it."
Adam dropped Batman. As he was descending down, he used his cape to glide down to safety. He finds himself at the theater. Black Adam arrived, cross armed.
"Go back to Kahndaq, Adam. Stay here and you'll be prosecuted."
"You'd have to capture me, Batman. I've underestimated you for the last time."
The fight continued. However, Black Adam found himself on the receiving end of the punishment and fell.
"All that ancient wisdom. Wasted."
He contacts Supergirl.
"Supergirl, where are you?"
"They're following me."
"Lead them to the batcave."
Batman's batmobile arrived heading towards him. He enters in a unique fashion by somersaulting inside and took off to the batcave. Inside, he worked on a touchscreen. It activated a tube with the brand new batsuit. Supergirl was running where Brother Eye was located heading towards the Gotham Subway. Then she stopped.
"She led us to him," said Wonder Woman.
"It's no accident you led us here."
"Of course it isn't."
Batman landed behind them.
"I warned him about Diana," said Supergirl. " But I didn't believe you'd turn on me."
Wonder Woman unsheathes her sword.
*This is the last time, Bruce. No more secrets. No more schemes."
"Schemes? I'm not the one who stoked Clark's fears."
A fight began.
"To pacify man's world, Kal needed steel, not compassion."
"But you didn't bring peace. You started a war!"
A classic showdown which ended with Diane defeated.
"Your war is over."
Superman must've defeated Supergirl.
"Fighting on the same side. It felt like old times. But I guess we both knew it would end this way."
"You remember that night? When you told me Lois was pregnant?"
"You knew. Even before I said anything."
"That was a good memory."
"From another lifetime."
"I miss the people we were then."
"Me too."
And just like that, Superman sucker punched him. He ended up back in the batcave.
"Quite, Bruce. You can't win!"
*You of all people know, Clark. I never quit!"
The final battle has begun. Two best friends turned enemies. Even before the first Injustice, Clark was ecstatic about Lois's pregnancy, before The Joker took it away when he nuked Metropolis. This caused Superman to become a dictator, but rumor has it that Wonder Woman convinced him that Justice required order, even if it means going so far as to killing criminals. Batman was forced to form an insurgency of the prime heroes in a coming struggle against the Regime. The insurgency were victorious thanks to Prime Superman when he defeated his Regime clone at the Fortress of Solitude. 5 years later, Brainiac attacked, and Batman was forced to swallow his pride and ally with Superman to take Brainiac down. With Brainiac's threat now gone thanks to Melody, he knew Superman would double-cross him. This isn't a battle where skill and equality are involved, it's about one of the two things: Absolute Power and Absolute Justice, a balance between them both fall under question with their war against each other. Superman is known as the Man of Steel, with powerful heat vision, super breath, flight, invulnerability except for magic, and powerful punches. Batman is known as the World's greatest detective, an expert of powerful martial arts of many forms most people find impossible to perfect. He relies more of gadgetry to fight crime. He also incapacitates criminals rather than killing them. Now, a classic showdown between them two took both men to their limits, but Batman can clearly that see Clark never took the time to grieve over Lois and Metropolis. This epiphany led to fall by Batman's fists. Superman was defeated, but he fight took a tremendous toll in Batman as well. Supergirl, accompanied by Melody witnessed the epic clash from the distance.
"Bruce."
"Is he..."
"He'll be out for a while. I'm sorry, Kara."
"For what?"
"I couldn't save him."
"Reasoning with him was pointless from the start," said Melody.
"I know, I'm sorry, Melody. For dragging you and Chris into this. This was my war, and you two were caught in the middle."
"This is not the first time I've been to war. I see bloodshed all around me all the time. It's a never-ending story with no epilogue. Believe me."
"Melody," Kara took Melody's hand. "Thank you. When we fought, I learned much more about you. If you knew that Brainiac would attack your world, you would stop him. And you did just that, and you basically saved your world from his tyranny."
"You don't know the half of it.."
