Explosions and roars echoed throughout the desert of Egypt, when the sands around the pyramids of Giza became one giant battlefield. Tony, Rhodey, Clark, Kara and Thor flew above, firing at Apocalypse's army.
Hulk, Colossus and Juggernaut engaged the reanimated statues on the ground, smashing them into pieces.
Waverider and Benatar flew above, with Rip and Quill piloting both respective ships, opening fire down upon Apocalypse's army before Archangel threw his metallic wing that grazed the hulls of the ships.
"Hey, that's brand new painting!" Quill snapped.
"Alright, if we take that bird down, I'm roasting him for dinner!" Rocket said as he opened a door and fired from his ion cannon but Archangel dodged before he was punched away by Clark, who flew towards him as they exchanged blows but Clark grunted, when Archangel's wings scratched into him. Clark used super breath, blowing Archangel away.
Down on the ground, Jesse and Wally exchanged blows with Callisto, who was much faster and stronger than any ordinary human and used knives as weapons as she scratched them but Wally and Jesse didn't relent before Wally disarmed her of her knives and Jesse knocked her out and they sped off as Zoom and his time remnants started to chase them. Wally and Jesse rushed up to the debris and jumped away, with Zoom and his time remnants following them before Storm summoned lightning and struck them down, taking Zoom out of the fight temporarily before Zoom recovered a few moments later.
Oliver blocked with his bow and Slade with his sword, while Drax blocked with his knives and Nebula with her swords, when Double Down threw cards at them and they rolled away before Mordis would blast him. Sara threw knives at Double Down as he swayed but Mordis blasted her knives as they ran towards the ruins to take cover. Mordis was about to give chase, when Nia showed up and formed an energy whip in her gauntlet and swung it at him, forcing him to back off. Mordis fired energy blasts but Nia deflected them all with the whip before she used it as lasso, wrapping it around Mordis's neck and pulled, slamming him to the ground before she engaged more of Apocalypse's soldiers.
Oliver and Sara ran on the rooftops and jumped, dodging acidic spits from Sakas before Mick burned him with his flamethrower, while Slade blocked the knives of a metahuman, who looked like Yao Fei with shaved beard and a different haircut before Slade, Sif, Drax and Nebula rushed at him as their blades clashed.
Azazel teleported around, getting his foes in the air and dropping them to have them fall to their deaths but his last mistake was to grab a young Hispanic girl and trying to drop her. Gypsy screamed and opened a breach to soften her fall as she hit the sand, grunting. Glaring, Breacher opened a breach and got on Azazel's back, who attempted to shake him off but Breacher pulled out a knife, snarling. "That's what happens, when you hurt my little girl."
Azazel gulped, blood filling his mouth as he went limp, falling to his death, while Breacher formed a breach and went to the ground safely, helping Gypsy on her feet.
"Thanks, Daddy." Gypsy said.
"No problem, honey." Breacher said as Azazel crashed nearby hard to the ground.
Nimbus turned into poison gas, attempting to kill his foes but a giant gust of wind from Storm sent him blowing away. Storm then summoned lightning as she struck down as many of Apocalypse's soldiers as she could, while Strange flew around and lifted some metahumans and mutants into the air as purple tendrils of energy formed before the tendril pulled back, slamming them to the ground, while Constantine and Zatanna formed magical circles, sending their enemies flying back.
Tony flew around, shooting down every enemy in sight before he landed next to Strange. "I guess you didn't see that coming, did you?"
"No. But I'm sure we can turn the tide." Strange said.
Mister Sinister fired energy blasts from his hands, shooting down the Wakandans coming at him before Black Panther engaged him as they exchanged blows. Sinister healed his wounds, when T'Challa scratched him with his claws and punched him away as T'Challa fell down. Sinister was about to finish him off, when Daisy quaked him as he crashed to a wall as it crumbled, burying Sinister under the rubble.
"Thank you." T'Challa said.
"No problem." Daisy said.
"Daisy…"
Daisy turned to face Hive, in the body of Grant Ward, as Daisy glared. She attempted to quake him but Hive stood his ground before they exchanged blows but due to Hive being impervious to pain and also having Ward's fighting skills on his side, she was in a great disadvantage as she was knocked down. Before Hive could finish her off, a tornado formed under his feet, sending him blowing away as Zari landed and helped Daisy on her feet.
"You OK, kid?" Zari asked.
"I'm good and I'm not a kid anymore." Daisy said as both girls chuckled.
Hulk exchanged blows with Blonsky, who became stronger and faster than in their last fight, due to becoming Apocalypse's Horseman.
"I am stronger than you now, Banner! You are weak!" Blonsky gloated as they wrestled, grabbing each other's hands.
"Hulk… not… puny!" Hulk headbutted Blonsky, who stood his ground but as Hulk headbutted again, it dazed Blonsky before Hulk pummeled him relentlessly as Blonsky stumbled back. Hulk did a thunderclap as the shockwave sent Blonsky back but he buried his feet in the ground to regain his footing. Blonsky rushed at Hulk again but Hulk dodged and grabbed him by his arm and threw him away before Hulk jumped off the pyramid and landed on top of Blonsky, stomping on him and pummeling him with a furious flurry of punches, not giving him an opportunity to fight back before Blonsky spat and smirked.
"Is this everything you got?" Blonsky gloated as he punched Hulk away but Hulk stood his ground before they rushed at each other again before Nate, Colossus and Juggernaut joined the fray and the combined power of their punches landing on Blonsky's chest was enough to send him flying back as Blonsky crashed to the ruins.
Bobby and Caitlin froze James's fireballs before they knocked him back with freeze blasts.
"Nicely done, Frosty." Bobby smirked.
"You're not so bad yourself, ice boy." Caitlin quipped.
Steve deflected energy blasts from Sunshine before she absorbed the light to become invisible but Steve followed Matt's lead as they flipped away to avoid the blasts before Matt threw his billy club at Sunshine's face, dazing her as she became visible again, looking perplexed.
"How did you—"
"I don't need my eyes to know where you are." Matt said.
Before Sunshine could do anything else, Matt jumped at her, kicking her in the face and knocking her out.
Barry, Jesse and Wally were engaged in a chase with Thawne, Zoom and their time remnants before the evil speedsters realized too late that they were being led into a trap as Caitlin and Bobby formed a blizzard, slowing them down, while the time remnants vanished.
With the primes left, Barry exchanged blows with Thawne, while Jesse and Wally engaged Zoom. While Thawne was a skilled combatant, Barry had honed his fighting skills over the years as he grabbed Thawne by his arm and punched him in the chest and in the face as Thawne staggered back.
Wally and Jesse dodged Zoom's claws and even though he was slowed down, he was still too fast to give them an opening to fight back before he knocked Wally to the ground and pinned Jesse to the wall, grabbing her by her throat.
"Your speed… will be mine too…" Zoom said gleefully. He was about to drive his claws into her spine and cripple her before he heard whistling.
"Hey! Here!"
Zoom widened his eyes in confusion before he turned around and saw Jesse behind him before turning to Jesse he had grabbed before her skin turned blue and hair turned red.
"Surprise." Mystique smirked before she injected him with speed dampening serum as Zoom screamed before Jesse rushed at him and plunged her phasing hand through his chest, finishing him off.
"That's for what you put me through and what you did to Earth-2 and Henry Allen, you son of a bitch." Jesse snarled.
Barry and Thawne exchanged blows in superspeed before they started to run faster than ever before as they entered the Speed Force.
Deathstrike cut down the Wakandans with her claws and exchanged blows with Luke and Jessica, who had cuts on their clothes before they knocked Deathstrike down and Mick burned her with his flamethrower and Cyclops with his optic beam. Deathstrike recovered and got up on her feet, her burned flesh revealing adamantium skeleton before Magneto lifted her into the air and there was a squelching noise as he ripped her skeleton off her body, with Deathstrike's intestines spattering around the ground.
As the rest kept fighting the army, Steve, Bucky, Natasha, Tony, Thor, Strange, Constantine, Barry, Clark, Cyclops, Logan and Storm were at the pyramid, making their way up to the altar above.
"Everything you've built, will fall! And from the ashes of your world, I will build a better one!" Apocalypse yelled.
"That remains to be seen!" Cyclops said.
Apocalypse sent a massive blast of energy at them and if not for Strange's Tao Mandalas, they would have been evaporated. Apocalypse knocked Steve and Bucky with his arm, sending them flying back and Natasha fired from her guns and Tony used his repulsors but Apocalypse ignored the blasts, aura pulsing through him from the altar, to which were Jean, Kurt, Wanda and Creed bound to the statues before Apocalypse roared, a pulse of energy coming from him, knocking everyone off their feet as he lifted boulders into the air and threw them down on them as Barry helped everyone avoid, while Clark, Constantine, Thor and Strange smashed the boulders.
Getting a very crazy idea, Thor flew towards the altar, from which was Apocalypse gaining the power and absorbed it before he felt more powerful than ever before, even stronger than when he had become the God of Thunder and beat Hela's army but nowhere as strong as when he used the Infinity Stones to undo Thanos's snap as Apocalypse glared. "You dare steal my power?"
"That power was never yours in the first place." Thor sneered before he engaged Apocalypse, exchanging blows and with the power of Apocalypse flowing through him, Thor was equal in strength with the titan as Apocalypse grunted and his armor cracked. Clark joined the fray and the sunlight was enough to help him equal in the might of Apocalypse, both men working in unison to break past Apocalypse's defenses.
Strange formed Tao Mandalas to protect everyone from the blasts of energy as Clark and Thor took the fight with Apocalypse into the skies.
Infusing himself with lightning and power from the altar, Thor blasted Apocalypse, who surprisingly screamed in pain, his flesh being burned off, despite that he was healing, thanks to using Creed's healing powers. Apocalypse formed hex shields but Clark and Thor managed to break through, sending Apocalypse flying into the air.
Apocalypse formed a giant ball of energy, tossing it at them but Thor evaporated it with his lightning before Clark punched Apocalypse, sending him towards Thor, who used Stormbreaker to break Apocalypse's armor and Apocalypse yelled in pain.
In the meantime, everyone was freeing the captured ones from the altars, letting them go as the power stopped flowing through Apocalypse and Thor and Clark. Using the last remnants of the power of the altar, Clark sent the strongest heat vision he could, while Thor threw the strongest lightning he could at Apocalypse, who screamed, his armor being discarded and being weakened now due to the altar losing its power.
"No! Not like this! I am En Sabah Nur, the god of this world!" Apocalypse snarled.
"Well, if you are a god, consider yourself fallen from grace!" Clark snarled, him and Thor flying at Apocalypse in full might as a giant explosion of energy followed, the shockwave cracking the buildings and knocking everyone off their feet.
Apocalypse writhed and screamed, energy pulsing through him. "Too much! Too much! Noooo!"
Strange formed a portal, getting everyone through it as the top of the pyramid exploded and Apocalypse was burned into ashes.
Suddenly, all the foes they had fought on the ground, fell down like puppets, whose strings had been cut off before a few moments later, they recovered, confused as they looked around.
"Where are we? What's going on?" John Allerdyce, also known as Pyro, asked.
"Wait, you don't remember?" Bobby asked in surprise. "Apocalypse. Big blue, nothing?"
"No…" John shook his head.
Most of the mutants, Inhumans and metahumans were mainly confused but some of them were about to fight the heroes again, but much to their surprise, most of their comrades turned on them as well as they stood down, realizing they were outnumbered as the heroes realized that most of the people had been under Apocalypse's thrall.
"D…" Rene whispered, looking sadly at Dinah, who was crushed under the rubble. While she had lost her way, Rene couldn't help himself but mourn for the woman, who was his friend and a parental figure to Zoe.
"I'm sorry, man." Diggle said, holding Rene by his shoulder.
A portal opened as Steve, Bucky, Natasha, Tony, Thor, Strange, Constantine, Barry, Clark, Cyclops, Logan and Storm went out.
"Is it over?" Cisco asked.
"Did we win? Is Apocalypse dead?" Magneto asked.
"I'm not sure if he can truly die… but he has been dismantled into pieces, all of them scattered into farthest ends of world and beyond the universe. Even if he could come back from that, I'm sure it's going to be a very long time before he recovers from a defeat like this one." Strange said.
Without Apocalypse to empower them, the Horsemen had been reverted to their normal selves as Abomination reverted back into Blonsky and Archangel turned back into Warren Worthington.
"Barry, where's Thawne?" Jesse asked as Barry smirked.
"Let's just say I'm sure it's going to be a very long time before we see him again." Barry said.
Big group fight scenes of epic proportions with countless characters like this one are always tricky and I wasn't in the mood to be too descriptive and juggle between so many characters again and tried to focus on the main parts.
Plus, I couldn't resist Superman and Thor vs. Apocalypse of epic proportions. Didn't want to do SuperThor and rip off Aragorn though and have them go Super Saiyan on Apocalypse, but I hope I did good here.
The Inhuman who looked like Yao Fei is Li, also played by Byron Mann, an Inhuman who served as Jiaying's bodyguard in Season 7 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
What happened with Thawne, will be explained in the next chapter, though I think you can guess.
So, what do you guys think?
