CHAPTER SEVEN
Earth-38
Location: National City, The Quantum Tower
Present Time...
"You have to be kidding me?!" Barry shouts in disbelief at the amount of creatures they have filled the sky.
"The Anti-monitor is the most powerful being in the multiverse! what did you expect!" Oliver shouts preparing his bow.
"Not this!"
They're heading towards the tower!" Kate notices then suddenly a loud crash is heard as the sky turns back red.
"What's happening out there? The skies are red again, the anti-matter wave's moving, and I haven't opened yet." Lena asks through the comms.
"Who is this?" Barry asks not recognizing the voice.
"That's Lena, she's my partner." Kara answers, causing Clark and Kate to look at her in surprise. "Not in that way!...Okay maybe that way."
"Kara, Clark, get to the roof. Get the tower operational again. We'll stay behind and hold them off." Oliver orders looking at Barry, Ray, Mia, and Kate who all nod their agreement ready to fight despite the odds.
Before Oliver could fire the first arrow, the sound of many rockets echo through the sky as hundreds of Exosuits arrive attacking the creatures.
"Reinforcements have arrived!" Alex cheered through the comms taking out a few of the creature before landing in front of the heroes taking off her helmet as another of the suits that was white unlike Alex's that was black lands behind her.
"Alex?!" Kara exclaims in shock, quickly hugging her sister in relief that she's okay before noticing the person behind her sister.
"Who is this?" Kara asks, tilting her head in confusion when Alex smiles.
"A friend." Alex answers still smiling despite the battle happening above them.
The white exosuit takes off its helmet to reveal James underneath who smiles as Kara hugs him.
"Hey, leave some for me." Mon El joked floating down toward the group.
Kara's smile goes even wider quickly hugging both James and Mon El.
"What are you guys doing here?!"
"Alex sent one of these suits when I was boarding the ships." James answers.
"And J'onn used Brainy's panic button which signaled the Legion here."
"Uh...I am glad that we have more heroes to help but...we need to act now or we will lose." Oliver points.
"He's right! Kara, Clark go to the roof, Mon El goes as backup, the rest of us, we have to make sure that those creatures-.
"Parademons." Mon El corrects Alex. "They're called parademons in the future."
"We have to make those parademons focus on us, not the ships when Lena gets that portal up and running."
"Let's go!" Kara, Clark and Mon El quickly fly up the quantum tower to be met by a group of parademons that are clawing into it.
"Hey, that's not yours!!" Kara shouts using her heat vision at the ones in front of her checking at the damage as Clark and Mon El take care of the rest
Mon El kicks the first parademon away before thunderclapping the other two while Clark uses his superspeed to take out the last ten of them stopping next to Kara.
"Show off." Mon El scoffed before checking out the tower, noticing the panel "Are those solar panels?"
"Looks close enough. But we won't be able to power it fully." Clark figured.
"We might lose the planet, But we can still save the people." Kara realizes grimly taking a deep breath before nodding toward Clark who is hurt by the lost of their earth and they both fire at the panel with their heat vision with all they got as Mon El begins to fight the parademons who try to stop them.
Location: DEO
"Systems are a go. Calculating destination... destination set." Lena mutters putting in the final calculations, Once finished she rushes towards the balcony as a massive breach opens in the sky and she watches with a proud smile before pressing her comms.
"J'onn the breach is open, you can start shipping people out."
"Got it, now you and the other agents need to get out there these creatures or parademons as Winn calls them seems to be going after anyone who is trying to stop the wave, and it's very likely that they will go after you for giving us a way out of her." J'onn warns through the comms worry in his voice.
Lena nods before turning off her comm walking towards the lab suddenly a loud screech heard as a parademon flies in the DEO heading straight towards Lena.
She quickly ducks out of the way pressing her watch causing it to flash red for a moment before turning into a blue liquid covering her whole body transforming into a copy of Kara's Anti-kryptonite suit. "So glad I made one for myself."
The parademon screeches again launching towards Lena who uses the suit's rockets flying up dodging the attack then quickly slamming it to the ground, the parademon screeches clawing at Lena soon scratches her in the arm causing her to back away. "I should have installed blasters in the suit."
Suddenly the parademon is pushed through the balcony forcibly with a gust of wind knocking into other parademons who seem to have targeted the DEO as well.
"Are you alright Miss Luthor?"
Lena retracts her helmet looking up in shock as The Red Tornado android stands over her with his hand reaching out looking at her with concerned yellow eyes.
"How...what... How are you functional?" Lena whispers in disbelief, grabbing the offered hand.
"I don't know myself, Miss Luthor." Red Tornado answers honestly, flexing his fingers. "While you were battling the parademon a mysterious man appeared in your lab and tapped my temple, bringing me to life claiming that I will be needed for the coming crisis." Red explains as Lena rubs her head in frustration.
"I need a scotch." Lena groans not believing the day she's having, she is going to have an interesting story to tell her therapist if she survives this.
"Miss Luthor I know you must be stressed right now but we must make haste, I predict that our services will be needed."
Lena nods her agreement heading towards the balcony alongside Red Tornado his legs spinning into a mini tornado giving him to the ability of flight.
He launches to the sky but he pauses when he notices Lena still at the balcony her breath quickened and her heart beats rapidly, the sight make Red Tornado to realize that she's afraid.
"Come on Lena you got this." Lena mutters to herself over and over with her eyes closed tightly trying to force herself to get over her fear of flying so she can help.
"I can hold your hand if you like." Red Tornado offers softly holding out his hand.
After a second Lena nods shakily grabbing the offered hand activating her rockets floating up to the sky while the quantum tower turns back on, causing the red breach that let in the parademons.
"They did it!" Lena whispers with a smile forgetting the fact that she's in the air."
"Which means that the parademons will focus on them especially if Oliver Queen is with them."
"Then let's go!" Lena urges flying towards the tower with Red Tornado right behind her.
Location: Quantum Tower
Kara, Clark, and Mon El landed back to the ground, all three were obviously tired, Clark and Kara from powering the tower and Mon El from fighting off all of the parademons"That was too close for comfort." Kara breaths taking a knee to rest.
"Did it work?'" Clark asks just as tired
"You did it." Barry says joyfully before spins his arms in a circular motion knocking away parademons
"Uh, but the ships better be fast. The Supers' charge didn't actually stop the wave, it just slowed it down. According to Brainy's algorithm, we have 14 minutes before it makes contact with Earth." Ray announces turning small, taking out multiple parademons.
"Well, then we better make every minute count!" Oliver shouts with Mia and Kate behind him each of them had a few scars and bruises from fighting against the parademon for a period of time.
"We've got your back. We need to keep those parademons at bay until every last ship gets through..." Clark declares determined to save whoever he can.
"With Alex, James and the other agents protecting the ships all we have to distract them." Kara orders then she gasps in shock as the Anti-kryptonite suit lands in front of her alongside The Red tornado.
Before she can ask, the helmet retracts revealing Lena and the sight of her causing Kara to rush hugging her tightly. "I'm so glad you're okay but what's with the suit?"
"Who cares about the suit, Kara I'm just glad you're alright." Lena responds pulling away from the hug kissing Kara on the cheek before turning towards the heroes looking at each one of them. "Thanks for everything."
All the heroes nod with smiles on their faces as they begin to come together forming a wall of defense as the ships go through the breach behind them. Alex, J'onn, Winn, Nia and James soon join them as well.
In front the heroes, the last of the parademon stand before they still greatly outnumber our heroes.
"This is so cool!" Nia whispers towards Winn grins. "I know!"
"We are the last defense!" Oliver declares looking at each hero in front of him even Red Tornado though he did look at him with a confused expression.
"Every parademon you take down is another life saved so let's give them all we got!" Oliver shouts running towards the army of parademons with the rest of the heroes quickly following after him and the battle begins.
Kara leads the charge in the sky using her heat vision alongside Clark as Lena, Alex and Ray go back to back firing at every parademons they see and Mon El and J'onn slam through the parademons
While on the ground Oliver and Mia firing arrow after arrow, Nia, James and Winn are back to back as well as Barry and Kate fight with their bare fist.
Suddenly the Monitor appears in front Oliver who glances at him for a second before focusing back on the fight. "I am kind of in the middle of something here!"
"Oliver, the battle is lost! We must retreat and save our resources for battles yet to come." The Monitor urges as the battle continues around him the familiar roars of thunder echoes through the sky.
"It is time!"
"Has the planet been evacuated yet?!"
"Not entirely." The Monitor answers grimly.
"Then it's not time!"
"I'm sorry Oliver." The Monitor whispers his eyes glow white as he begins to breach the heroes away.
"Oliver!" Barry shouts as he breaches the heroes away.
"Dad no!" Mia shouts running towards Oliver only to be breached as well.
Soon Oliver is the only but before The Monitor could breach him away, a red blast fired at him breaching him away.
Oliver looks around noticing that the parademons have also disappeared; he quickly reaches for an arrow only to have none left.
His heart beats rapidly against his chest as he frantically searches for someone to fight.
After a few seconds. A red breaches opens in Oliver who prepares himself clenching his fist.
Through the breach a large being with grey skin, black armor suit, and red glowing eyes look at Oliver with a cold face.
"So you're Mar Novu's Champion.?" The being scoffs, lifting his hand slowly levitating Oliver off the ground slamming him through a building.
Oliver groans as he attempts to get back to his feet spitting out the blood in his mouth after a few attempts Oliver finally stands limping out of the building he just went through.
"So you're him...aren't you, The Anti-Monitor. " Oliver grunts cradling his ribs as he walks up to the being in question.
The being nods, closing his eyes as the Anti-wave begins to erase Earth-38 then he levitates Oliver again slamming in the ground again and again until Oliver's body goes limp.
"We...w-will...defeat...you..."
"No Champion you are wrong as it was written in the stars, All worlds shall be mine!"
