To be honest I was quite surprised when I saw reviews, likes and follows over the first prologue, thanks your support really it helps a lot and for those asking if this would end up a dead fic let's wait and see I will try to keep it going, so anyway let's begin.
I own neither dc or fate grand order in any form.
Chapter 1
The rise and fall of a thunderer
The material multiversal plane of dc cosmology is considered big and wide to even the most powerful beings. and in the eyes of mortal pretty much infinite. It is filled up with different laying and overlapping dimensions relating to three major aspect of the multiverse namely science, magic and the cosmic, ranging up-wards towards the high spiritual heavens to the tumultuous hell below, from the phantom zone to even the realm of concentrated with a special energy known to most as 'the speed force'. there are also various cultures with their deities that dominate an aspect of the universe ranging from the old gods. such as the Greeks with their Olympians with Olympus, and the Norse the Asgardians with their Asgard. there are also the new gods of two opposing ideologies. The god that governs the order and is considered the extension of the will of the source the 'high father' and his brother, the god who holds dominion over destruction 'darkseid' ruler of apocalypse. Each of this aspect dictate the universe with their interpretations of the what was?…What is?,…and will be?.
But even then there is a planet, one that in one way or the other seems to possess the greatest mysteries in the universe. The tiny blue pearl located at the milky way galaxy with its solar system in possession of one yellow star and one natural satellite, the insignificant but glorious planet earth, humble in the sense that in comparison to the whole universe it might as well be less than a drop of water, its position of top dog is held by species called humans who in generally are not special in the grand scale of things. An average human does not possess any exceptional physical characteristics they have zero special strength, no exceptional field, they are rated in general to not possess any meta-physical capacity in comparison to the other universe. they are regarded at most as a low class planet. And for that they are mighty. Humanity say what you want about them but they are a very tenacious race, they possess the capacity to have what it takes to succeed, even when they are pushed down, beaten down, even in the face of discouragement, pain and hardship their mind-set is one of a kind where humanities are slow they have machineries to push them forward, physical weakness and they have guns, armoury, scientific biological breakthrough to forge ahead, they are even considered to hold the fore font knowledge in the mystic art. Humanity, truly a unique race for they are the ones who do find their limitation as a limits but motivation that they can do more. It is of no wonder they are considered by the source as the starting point of the 5th world,
The writer.

Earth (PRIME)
Year -2009
Earth has been described as many things by all sort of extraterrestrial species that had any form of interaction with the planet. But amongst all others they are known for one thing alone and that is their heroes, the earth has been recognized as a planet that possess the most density of heroes. The concept hero is nothing more than ideology and it has been defined in various ways by different people. Throughout earth history at every time and age they have experienced all forms heroes all at certain times of crises but, the first group of recognized heroes came during the second world war in which at that time the era of terror was sky high innocent people were dragged into the front lines and served as collateral it seemed like the world was about to enter a stage similar to the dark ages. It was at that time remarkable people came together for one purpose, to stop the war and end it's senseless destruction 'the Justice society of America' which at that time comprised of hour man, black canary, the first flash, wonder woman, doctor fate, wild cat and the first green lantern, All coming from different walks of life together to save lives lost in the war. their stories inspired others to take on the mantle for the protection of earth, today we have the all new Justice league comprising of hundreds of heroes, the teen Titans, the young Justice, doom patrol, even vigilante groups the outlaws the outsiders each of a meaning what it is to be a hero, but all with the same common goal 'the protection of earth and humanity' leading heroes such Superman, Batman, wonder-woman, flash, Martian manhunter, green lantern and cyborg are all prime examples of model heroes.
But we are not here to look at those guys. the hero group in focus is one not as famous as the founding members of the Justice league, they do not have the style of the teen Titans, nor are they as resourceful as most other heroic teams. But still they stand out amongst many others as one of the iconic heroic team that stand for what is good ' the marvel family' protectors of faccet city. a group of Supermen and women who have faced their own share of villains notably Mr mind, doctor sivanna, and black Adam. they even have their own villain group counterpart the monster society of evil. And even then against all odds, they all still prevailed. but just like all heroic groups they have also faced all sort of failures it comes with the job...but this failure…the particular failure, spelled the end for the chivalrous group
-TMMGO-
Faccet, an idyllic city located at the American mid-west is known to tourist for its various qualities and one mostly regarded quality is its similarity to the city of tomorrow 'metropolis. High rising buildings, a Central Park and most of all not a day goes by will you not see the symbol of thunder flying overhead, if Superman is regarded as the man of steel by the city of metropolis then this hero is regarded as captain marvel, the earth mightiest mortal, defender of faccet city, but unlike Superman this hero doesn't do it alone. The city was introduced to an entire family of thunderers going by the name 'marvel family' with two of members a major among the big fields 'miss marvel' and 'marvel Jr'.
As a result of this the city experienced an all low crime rate as a result of its heavenly protectors. But like all good things must come to an end disaster struck against the heroes in a way they could never recover from.
Today makes it two whole months since faccet city had last seen it's caped protectors since their first public debut two years ago. the city was of various opinions as some thought them to be on an off world mission, others considered them facing some sort of villain trouble preventing them from going public, the few pessimistic others thought of them dead. Even though the city was of differing opinions the one thing clear about the situation is that faccet city is without it's heroes. Giving small time crooks, muggers and all other society nuisances the opportunity to crawl of their holes to strike fears again towards the heart of their city and leading most to pray and hope for the return of their caped protectors.
The central district of faccet city is always said to be hectic during the morning time of the day, it is at this period time the district said to be bustling and fast paced. as it was around this time one can see around the area buzzing with various people from all walks of life. around road walks there are always someone in a need to go somewhere. people setting up shops, students going in ones, twos, fours, or more traveling either by walking, waiting for their school buses or some in a hurry to the train station with their destination a much more farther place in another town to their various educational institutions. But even then the expression of their faces shows that they all have one thing in common. and that is their sense of purpose. But in the midst of such a conurbation one youthful individual went along the crowd with no destination in mind. dressed haggardly with worn out blue pants, red hooded sweatshirt and a dark brown jacket that has seen better days, the individual walked aimlessly among the buzzing crowd reaching the zebra road intersession towards the central park. where as a result of not paying attention, he mistakenly bumped into an older individual almost pushing him into the road occupied with cars that were passing by at the moment.
"Hey watch it kid!" the shocked angry man turned to look at the kid. Looking towards the said kid who didn't seem to realize his mistake as he tried to keep moving on, angered the older man even more so as he grabbed the kid's cloth by the collar pulling him towards him.
"kid look me in the eye when am talking to ya. kids this days. don't you have any manners!.." the tirade of the man was cut off when he took notice of the appearance of the individual, a curled rustled hair that looks more brown than it's supposed black, blue eyes with a face that alternated within the age of fourteen and fifteen years old. What gave a pause to the man was the kid's expression. his eyes looked at him listlessly as it shown only negative emotion ranging from pain, regret, self-loath and resignation. the man looked at him a shocked and to be honest quite spooked by the expression the kid showed, so not knowing on how to deal with such an expression. he just removed his hand from the kids collar and tucked his hands in his own jacket.
"you know what kid, just go. the next time you do something like this, apologize immediately. after all the next person might not be as understanding as me" he said gruffly but not in an unkind tone as the road terminal signaled the road was free. as the man left and walked away, he couldn't stop thinking about the boy's face as he sighed to himself.
"just what is this world coming to if a kid could have such an expression. the one time I saw something like on a kid's face was that time I went to Gotham. well what can one man do. this is the world of heroes… senseless destruction, broken homes and too many life lost we've seen that too much nowadays. All because the game of catch between those so called heroes and villains" as he turned back to look at the kid. He couldn't help but mutter to himself "god help us all kid. god... Help us all…".
The boy looked back towards the old man apparently he heard what the man said but that only seem to intensify the pain in the boys eyes, the boy or rather billy batson could only mutter a tiny word "sorry" as he pulled on his hoodies hiding his face and vanished into the crowd.
The life of Billy Batson had not always been an easy one. Born as an unwanted child Billy Batson was abandoned by his parents to an orphanage straightly declaring him an orphan, at first he couldn't fit into the all homes that adopted him. he was always the runaway child, always believing that his parents were alive hoping to find them and to ask them just one question. why?. And like always he would be caught by the local cops or public official. it was to the point they named him 'rebellious Batson' a child with no sense of responsibility. after that he would always then be returned straight back to the orphanage home because his foster parents could not cater for such an unruly behavior. This situation continued until he was adopted by two childless couple George and Amanda Goodman, a married couple that had already adopted other kids. He would have continued the precedent of running away, if he hadn't hit it off with one of other adopted kid. the disabled freedy Freeman. together, They tried looking for clues concerning Billy's blood parents, until a particular point reached freedy also gave up and instead tried to make Billy let go in order to enjoy the other factors of life. While Billy ultimately never gave up, he eventually mellowed his obsession somewhat... the one thing that never changed even after all that time he spent at the Goodman's was his relationship with the other family members especially the siblings. as it wasn't that different from the first time when he came.
Though throughout his short life if there was one character of Billy Batson ever claimed to have pride in was his sense of Justice, living in a world filled with impossibilities straight of a comic book, Billy batson had always looked up to the heroes with his role model being superman. As a result he wouldn't stand by when other kids where bullied in school As he was always one to fight the bullies. All in all he was a just a kid, a stubborn one, but one whose heart was in the right place.
The turning point of his life was during one of his 'heroic escapades' the vengeful bullies numbered six didn't take it kindly to one of his shiticks, as they chased him around town to the point he needed to use the train to escape, leading him to meet the wizard. Till this day he could still remember the discussion he had with the wizard especially that one particular question.
"a hero is one who must be of a pure heart" the wizard shazam stated solemnly "and that was what I believed and was proven wrong, so... you young man tell me. what do you believe is the one thing that a hero must possess" he asked.
"i am not a philosopher that I could safely answer that question, but a pure heart could mean either good or bad and having too much of one thing makes you lose sight of the original goal" he replied "well for me, I believe that it's doing what you believe is the right thing and keeping your heart in the right place never losing sight of your goal" .
Billy didn't know what the wizard saw in him, may be it was that once in a while passion he sometimes exhibited. it could be have been his eyes that one old care taker once told him show a certain sparkle when ever he shows sincerity in his words. it could also be might had been that his reply and philosophy was different from his first champion teth-adam. but regardless on that day billy was granted with the power of shazam, A power and title given to a defender of magic. Bestowing upon him special abilities as a result of his connection to six gods and making him the wizard's champion.
Presently, billy sighed as he wondered into the city park, walking on he spotted one of the empty park benches he walked over and collapsed tired as he tried to recall what went wrong. During his adventures as a solo hero he went against all forms of foes, fought incredible people, even met members of the justice league. but it was during one of his battles with doctor sivanna that taught him the importance and significance of what it truly means to have a family, during that particular arc his adopted siblings were placed in danger with seemly no choice and of the knowledge that he could not do it alone, he shared his power with his family, but at present he could not help but think.
'Was i wrong when I did that?, should I really have brought them towards my world? if-if...well it's too late for regrets' even as he kept on remembering those days, the words of the wizard during the aftermath of the fiasco still stuck to his mind till this day like a haunting ghost
"Shazam,…family can be shazam's greatest strength…but it can also be its greatest weakness" the wizard warned him.
At that time billly took his words for granted, after all every villain they fought defeated, the bound of their family unbreakable, and the team had the capacity to go toe to toe with most of the other groups, even those on the big leagues acknowledge them and so he like all others immature superheroes fell into the same trap that destroyed most of them 'hubris'. The pride in the strength they had turned into arrogance at the things they could archeive and when it all came crashing down….it was just too late.
It was around two months ago when all this started. after a good prolonged victory against mr mind, king knull and captain nazi in another plot for world domination through the use of mind hypnosis rays made by mr mind. they were all high with victory not knowing that it was an all elaborate plot by black adam to serve as a distraction for an attack directly to the wizard as he had found a back door leading to the rock of eternity. It was during their return flight home when it all began, the team was in good spirits there was cheer in the air.
"woo-hoo team marvel wins again we're just that awesome" freedy howled out to the night sky.
"freddy its ok we've heard that like one thousand times now" Mary chided him.
freedy responded by Blowing a raspberry at her "oh Mary, mary don't be such a spoil sport after all we won after that grueling fight with that worm. and also don't call me freddy, call me king marvel. after all, all am just saying is that as 'the marvels' we are the best team ever".
Eugene choi the elctro-master of the group cut in a quite annoyed tone "yeah, yeah let' all just hurry up home now. cause while I don't know about you guys but i don't wanna be late again for school tomorrow. Miss Anderson has been getting on my case since the past two weeks" he said as he yawned, but then as he performed that action he became quite alarmed.
"um guys..." he motioned his friends " I'm feeling strange here like why am I feeling tired?... like am I supposed to feel tired".
Pedro the marvel member with the beard replied "what are you talking about of course we're not supposed to feel ti…yahnnnn" he followed in the yawning and also paused "ok now am freaking guys what's going on!".
It wasn't only those two even the rest of the family complained of tiredness well all except billy
"What's going? on while you guys are not supposed to receive my full powers but only one portion, the rest of the other characteristics of my powers should still be there lightly. you sure you guys aren't pulling my legs,… freedy, did you set this up" he asked.
The said individual looked at him incredulously "Are you serious billly right ah mean look at my face" freedy motioned towards his face "you see this is my freaked out face and I don't know about you guys but I feel like my powers are waning or something".
"Me too billy what's going on?" darla questioned.
Billy paused in the air as he looked over his family as he could not help but think 'now that's worrying even darla too, and she doesn't even know how to tell a lie' he paused as called everyone's attention " okay, okay everybody calm down, lets land on that roof and then sort this whole thing out I don't want any thing to happen while we are on air right now"
if there was one thing I would love one day if I was given a chance to go back in time, it would be to box out that particular time billy's teeth, after all it was that decision that lead me into teleporting them to the rock of eternity, never knowing that soon my whole world will come crashing upside down.
'The rock of eternity'. A nexus located just outside of the texture of reality and outside the flow of time. it was said to be the physical proof of the gods covenant of magic with man. At that time when the gods introduced magic to earth, the rock of eternity was designed to be its focal point. before the creation of the Shazam's champion, there was the need of a gate keeper the gods looking for a candidate choosed the shepherd 'mamaragan' or 'jebediah of Canaan' as it's protector granting him the power of seven Divine beings 'Marsosh', 'Arel', 'Ribalvei', 'Voldar','Elbiam', 'Lumiun' each granting him the Divine blessings of stamina, speed, power, strength, courage and wisdom making him into what was known as the god of Shazam. twice he had choosed two champions of magic the first was teth-adam, someone who at that time he saw as a devoted man fighting for his people against the tyranny of his pharaoh only to become a tyrant himself and Billy Batson a child who's take on what it means to be a hero intrigued him and but this time unlike the first the young boy had not proven him wrong. while the rock of eternity also served as a focal point of magic for the earth it was also the lair of the marvel family. It had the appearance of what looks like that of a wide cave with three rooms. the room of forbidden doors filled mostly with just plain doors but each are considered door ways to different realities, the room of Shazam council a simple wide carven room each filled with stone chairs in an arc shape, freedy actually gave it a name 'the round table of shazams'. And finally the throne room of the wizard, directly connected to the rock of eternity the particular room filled with up with two adjacent gigantic pillars numbering twelve with no cave ceiling but dark expanse serving as its covering.
The very moment we teleported I should have noticed that something was different; the magical presence that filled the lair was different from the wizard's it felt rather tainted in a way. But at that time I was just too concerned with the situation that happened to my siblings to have noticed, at this point all the others lost each of their special powers and only remained in their adult forms, obviously we were very nervous, and as we arrived at the wizard throne room I rushed in ahead calling the attention of wizard.
"Wizard!, wizard!!" I called out "I hope you know what's going on, course we are facing some sort of crisis…need help any time now wi-" before I could continue my breath hitched as I gaze on the figure that seated on the throne. The man seated on that throne was definitely no wizard, he was a tall muscled man with brown skin his hair seemly bald on both sides his ears were straight and his face having a sharp expression, but the most prominent on the person was the dark suite similar to my own with the symbol of lightning on his chest, the figure looked towards us as his face twisted into a mocking sneer.
We all gasped as saw the familiar looking individual looking unto us, as I helped saying what was on all our minds at the moment "you!!, what are you doing here you are not supposed to be here… black adam".
"yes it is I black adam, captain marvel or shall I say" he continued leaning his face over from the throne seat filled with mockery "billy Batson".
"No, no, no what the hell is going on why the hell is black Adam here and how the bloody hell does he know bil-..I mean Captain Marvel's true identity" freedy couldn't help but cry.
"Of course I would know child, you wouldn't understand now seeing now that you have lost the blessing given to you by Billy Batson" he said towards freedy.
A chill crawled up from my spine as I began to piece it all together "you bastard" I couldn't help but say heatedly "what did you do to the wizard".
My observation sparked my group as they also made the same observation "Yeah, yeah where is he? What did you do to him" Darla shouted towards the man on the throne.
This question was repeated many times by my other members, it was then black adam slowly lowered his head with his shoulders quivering as he soon busted out in laughter"..e,ehe,hehe,haahahahahahahahahahahahaahhh" his laughter silenced all our questions as it was the only sound that carried on into the expanse.
"Billy Batson, boy as one who carries the wisdom of solomon. you of all people should know the system behind the rock of eternity, so help explain to this peasants using that wisdom of yours what has already transpired" he looked towards me, at that I could not help but quiver in rage as it dawned on me the implications of what has happened, looking solemnly towards my team members I could do nothing more but tell them the entire truth.
"ok guys i need all of you to be calm and listen attentively to what am about to say. The rock of eternity is more than a focal point to the realm of gods, but even so it must always have a watcher. someone who watches the rock and regulates it's use of Divine and demonic magic in the world… and there are two ways to claim ownership as the keeper of the rock, first he must be passed title from the original watcher and the other…. When you… by Killing the original watcher" at this the others gasped as they arrived at the same conclusion as i.
Pedro could not help but qiver out making his shaking his beard, it would have been funny if not of the situation at hand "and so you mean.." the sound of lightning and thunder blasted out as black Adam decided it was time to cut in.
"Yes I did it, blasted him to ashes with my own hands, if he would not give me the power i needed I just had to pry it out of his cold, dead corpse" he said raising his hands in a sign of regality he continued "and now I have total connection to the realm of the gods I am capable of achieving ultimate power!!".
" You would do no such thing if I had to any say about that" I retorted, he looked at me quietly and laughed, he slowly stood up and that was when it happened. his suite began to change as lines of gold appeared along every corner of his suit as where he and I once shared similarities in suite appearance his changed, or rather metarmorfed. what was once a skin tight suit became more like a light armor it looked it was made of gold and a strange kind of dark metal. it looked very sleek and form fitting and where we both beared the symbol of lightning his changed to the symbol of a falcon head and a sun-disk both culled around by a cobra. It wasn't only that, his eyes became crystal blue as a golden halo appeared behind his back. It was honestly intimidating and the most shocking of all was that i could sense multitudes of Divine blessing within him.
"What did you do!!?" I couldn't help but ask fear evident in my voice.
"Impressive is it not child, the old fool, while wise was indeed a fool, having this much power and not wanting to use it" black adam remarked.
"Black Adam!!, What did you do!!" I snarled as I walked hotly towards him. The figure looked on towards me and seemly fazed from existence too fast for even my godly senses to track, appearing behind me at sheer speed. before I could even react out in alarm the only thing I felt at my back was the exploding pain behind me as the very air expanded into a Sonic boom. I flew forward at great speed over towards the expanse without being able to stop myself.
"Gahh!!!!" I screamed, it took me a full minute to orient myself but as I settled down on the air I looked down towards him making no movement from his position with one of his hands raised as if performing a simple swipe.
"Oh !! Just one swipe, perfect! this is just perfect!," he laughed as he turned towards me "to answer your question. It's very simple the rock of eternity is a connection to the gods realm where all gate keepers and champion draw their powers from. But who said it must only be seven Divine blessings we must receive.".
The implication of what he meant was not lost to me "so you're telling me...you".
"Yes I did" he boomed "using my position as the new keeper of the rock of eternity. the Adam you see before you holds the Divine blessings of not 7, 8, or even 16 he holds the dominion over an entire pantheon of gods so how does this power feel Billy Batson!!".
Trying to stand was painful it wasn't surprising when I saw blood leaking out from my lips 'probably a busted lung. it 'ill heal quickly' "and so now what's next Adam".
"It's god-king Adam to you peon and now you suffer".
Looking back I question myself. if heading back to fight and not trying to escape was the right decision.
The world crawled into a stop the expression of my siblings paused full stop as they looked on with various amount of concern on their faces, I positioned myself I as cocked my hand back in preparation of a punch.
Zroom!!!
Using my stance as a leverage i shot forwards straight towards him at sub relative speeds as he looked on bored. in an instant I reached forward and threw out a straight punch.
BOOM !!!!!
The floor below shattered like an explosion had happened as the force of my punch stirred up great winds but even after all that he .did .not budged from the spot. with one hand behind him and the other raised he caught the punch without any sign of exertion. "please billy batson amuse me more this should not be all the great defender of magic has does he" he smugly said.
As he pushed back but even that told me of his strength as the force landed me roughly a few feet away, i gritted as I rushed at him quickly taking the initiative. I threw jabs and kicks infusing them up with lightning with for a stronger effect but then he weaved around all thrown punches with obvious bore present on his features. Even slapping away some of the punches for good measure. looking around even after all that has transpired, I could not help but notice that just a few seconds has passed in normal time. We moved rapidly around the room me attacking and him just... weaving around me.
"Any time now chosen champion" he taunted.
I never listened to him, just kept going on the offensive, just trying let him play around some more... until at least a little opening. as luck would have it there was a little fluttering of his cape but it was one I could capitalize on, seizing that opportunity I grasped his cape pulling it fiercely and kneeled him on the stomach hard, I didn't bother to check if he felt that as still with the same momentum I spinned him with enough force to create a mini tornado as an effect. after that as hard as I could I then threw him out of the throne room far into the dark expanse. It was there with lightning rattling throughout my body i gathered the energy around my fist, I rushed over there before he could compose himself and gave him the hardest punch I have ever gave in my life, and i was sure not even superman during the lex-fiasco has ever received such a hard punch from me as the one i gave black adam.
The dark space light up like the birth of a new star was born. but only this time it was lightning, it tored and streaked across the expanse, with thunderous noise accompany it for good two minute. At the end I couldn't see what happened but I just concluded he was knocked out.
"And that is the one ending a villain like you deserves" I said finally as I sighed a little in relief.
"Hey's everyone okay" I called out, to my siblings returning back to the throne room from the expanse.
"Yeah we're all okay, we all hid behind some of the rocks during the fight" mary replied. I released a hidden breath I didn't know I was holding till now, Darla left the others skipping towards me.
"Billy that's so cool, the fight you gave that guy it was first like bam, woosh, wroom, wroom and then the punch kaboom!! Can you teach me that please" she waved and droned on excitedly with practically shining eyes as she addressed me, before I could say anything mary cut her short as she pushed past her and came to me.
"billy what's going?, what's the deal with Adam?, why did his costume change? And most importantly….did you get him" she fired off. before she could continue I raised my hands in a placating gesture.
"Mary, mary relax take a deep breath" I tried to calm her down "don't worry everything's gonna be just fine I'll just round this up and then we'll go home, rest a little and then we'll deal with all this tomorrow" he assured.
Taking a deep breath she smiled nervously at billy "okay Billy tomorrow. we will deal with all this tomorrow".
Our premature victory was cut short with a burst of hysterical laughter ringing around the throne room upping up my guard in alarm the voice continued on without regard "is that the best you can do billy Batson!, oh how the tables have turned I have been waiting for this moment for quite some time now…allow me to repeat this again... none of you are returning out of here… alive".
Black Adam bursted out of the lightning storm unharmed without so much as a scratch, seeing that result I was just about to signal them to leave before resuming offensive he flew straight towards me at blinding speed appearing before me as though he teleported.
Boom!!! I experienced an excruciating pain at that moment, he punched me so hard in the stomach I vomited fistful of blood. it sounded like the sound of multiple drums bust out all out once, I could only numbly remember flying back at great velocity crashing against the rows of pillars in the throne room destroying them completely.
"Behold Billy Batson as you witness the end of such flimsy bond the life of your family and yours. knowing the cost when one goes against a god".
It was at that moment the courage of Achilles left me as I laid down frozen in fear as I heard the cries of my younger siblings... I wanted to beg, do anything it takes so that he wouldn't commit what I thought he was about to do. It would be a betrayal to the wizard's faith in me but I could care less at that moment. As I struggled to stand up I looked towards black Adam as only to see something that will terrify me for the rest of my life, the floor soaked with the blood of Pedro and Eugene dead on the floor as black Adam hands filled with blood stood over Freddy, Mary and Darla looking over them with a sneer as they stood helplessly huddling together with freedy holding them both protectively.
As if sensing my presence the monster in human form turned towards me "remember when we first meet, child remember my promise when I warned to give me your power do you remember!!" he said as he gestured towards my siblings both the one dead and alive "that it would be who and all that you love that will pay the ultimate price... and now my will shall be carried out".
The pain prevented me from speaking but he seemed like he didn't mind "oh don't bother speaking, save your strength. This king will deal with these nuisances and then we shall settle our score".
I stood up quickly ignoring the pain as I rushed over, he laughed as he turned posing his hands in a straight position as he tried to strike my siblings all at once. But freedy in a fit of courage and a burst of strength threw Mary and Darla away from him the Egyptian god king scoffed as he still went on to strike freed. I could feel a part of my soul die as I saw black Adam hand creating a straight hole in his chest. I couldn't hear myself screaming as I gave everything I got into the punch I threw at him when I arrived. a physical wind barrier appeared as a result and knocked over the surprised Adam off his feet far away into the expanse, in that spilt second I gathered everyone and teleported. Even before I left the words of the wizard came crashing against me.
"Shazam,…family can be shazam's greatest strength…but it can also be its greatest weakness".
PRESENT TIME
The world seemed to snap back in billy eyes as he felt very tired looking upwards he was surprised to find out the sun had set already. he sat down for almost the entire day, but he could not even find the urge to eat and was rather too weary to notice.
"Being a hero is never an easy job.. I just wish I never… nope, nope its too late to think like that billy get your head back in the game" he said to himself.
Apparently because of my direct contract with the rock of eternity black adam couldn't take away my powers, because my contract was not with the wizard but from the gods, so I was apparently safe.
When we returned back the divine blessing had given my siblings totally left them returning them to their child and teenager forms. I could only look on numbly as mary and darla cried over the bodies. The news would later call it a freak villain's attack, the Goodman's were shattered by the news, time passed in a blur until the day of the burial, knowing that after all that happened little part of me just thinks it is my fault for bringing them in this whole mess and so I did what every coward would have done, I ran away and went back to the cold jaws of the street this time carefully prowling the streets not to get caught by the public officials.
Immediately after the burial, just some days after I left the Goodman's also left the city with mary and darla. presently Just some days ago I had checked up on them. Mary had won a foreign scholarship left the country to continue her studies abroad, and darla also seems to be breaking out of her shell after the whole incident. Finally breaking out of the crazy world of heroes and villains for good this time. well it's good for them they deserve better, I wish them all the best form the bottom of my heart.
Well for me its not over yet, its me and my problem now my expression turned dark with anger as I left the park with a little resolution. I swore 'it's time to drop the hero gig and become an avenger, am gonna kill that son of a bitch even if it is the last thing I do and after all this time I finally know just how to do it', just wait a little longer black Adam am coming for your head.
Authors note
phew, hey guys thanks for reading another one of the mightest mortal grand order when I was writing the chapter I found it a little too long and decided to divide into two and decided to use this chapter to straighten be Billy's time line so you can understand how mxyzptlk pulled him from his own reality. by the way how was the fight scene it was kind of hard writing it, but even then in this chapter we could see the overwhelming power of black Adam connected to an entire pantheon of gods. how powerful he is compared to someone who are in connection to just a measly seven. will Billy be capable of turning the tables later own?...well you'll see it in the next chapter.
Next up the god king black-adam vs. the mighty shazam billy-batson, and finally the coming of captain marvel to the grand order time line.
Like always pls review, leave a comment especially how you see the narrative and the flow of the story with spelling mistakes.
The end.
