Answers to reviewers questions or statements:

gunman: Yeah Warbird and Wonder Woman will have a rather violent confrontation soon. And yes, it's a bit difficult for them to see things from another's perspective, mainly because Diana, Carol and Betsy grew up in radically different cultures and lead very different lives surrounded by people that the other would rather not associate with, so trying to see things through each other's eyes will be a bit of an issue but things will improve as time goes on. And yeah some really dark things went down on this ship, both before and after Peter and En Sabah Nur showed up and things are going to continue to get a bit worse

the bob1235: The symbiote suit will start to play a large role later on

Guest: Spider-man on Krypton…yeah I'll give it a shot

Guest: Some familiar faces from the spider clan will be making an appearance in this story, one of which will be shown after the group gets back to Apokolips after this little incident on the Ship

Peter let out a sigh of relief as he and En Sabah Nur had just made it to the bridge of the Agooma. Their Parademon guards were all either killed or turned into those undead nightmares they've been encountering on the way here.

"You ever see something like that?" Peter looked towards his larger half-brother "Because I've never seen something like that before, hell that things makes some of the experiments in Bedlam's labs look like a joke in comparison"

En Sabah Nur shook his head "No, what we saw was beyond any sort of re-animated method encountered before"

"Think what were here for his connected in any way?" Peter asked as he quickly made his way to one of the terminals and began to access it, bringing up all available information he could.

"Possibly, they may also be what's blocking my telepathy. I couldn't read them or even sense their presence" En Sabah Nur said as he eyed the room and it's shadows for any more undead Parademons or the host of other creatures that inhabited this ship before it went dark.

'More like became infected' Sabah thought grimily as he looked down at some of the still healing scratches on him and some that were on Peter, his suit as brilliant as it is, was unable to fully protect his younger, weaker sibling entirely 'Hopefully this thing, whatever it is isn't the type of infection that's passed through physical contact…I do not forward to explaining to father what happened to Peter that will cost us The Justice League's aid for what it is coming…'

"I got something" Peter said suddenly and gestured for En Sabah Nur to take a look.

"What is it?" the larger being said as he stalked over towards the terminal and looked over his small sibling's shoulder for a moment to see what it was that caught his attention.

It was the captain's log explaining about how the mining teams discovered a mysterious artifact, which led to him reporting it to Apokolips which in turn led to En Sabah Nur finding out about it. Afterwards the Captain goes on to explain that the slaves were starting to get rowdy, violent and started to in turn on each other and commit self-harm or even suicide, far beyond the norm and the violence eventually spread amongst the Parademons as well, something that was next to unheard of now a days given that Parademons worked like a hive mind and would never willingly attack another Parademon unless ordered too.

"So this all began with the artifact apparently" En Sabah Nur stated as he straightened himself "Now I'm even more curious as to what this object is and what it's capable of"

"Well from what we've just read and seen it can turn a populace insane and then somehow lead to horrific transformations" Peter stated as he tried to find more information before the monitor died along with what few lights were still working, leaving only the distant sun to shed some light into the ship's bridge "Great…the generator for this thing must have died"

"Leave it" En Sabah Nur waved off Peter's annoyance and turned towards the entrance to the bridge "We make for the cargo hold and either recover or destroy the artifact so it can not be used against us again in the future"

"You know, the cargo hold is probably the last place we want to be right? What's to stop us from going insane and ending up like the crew?" Peter questioned.

At that En Sabah Nur snorted darkly "Peter we are children of Darkseid, it will take a lot more than this to see to our fall…even if one of is a lesser son"

Peter growled in annoyance as he watched the larger being head for the exit and took one last look around the bridge before following after his half brother.

"If I'm killed father is going to be pissed out you!"

"Father's rage I can handle Peter" En Sabah Nur said in an uncaring tone.

"Well…what about Kalibak, he won't be too happy that you got me killed" Peter pointed out.

"He has five other siblings he likes to keep him occupied, I'm sure he won't notice you missing for long, in fact he may be relieved to longer having to listen to your voice" En Sabah Nur said as he stepped into he hall just as a large undead Parademon dropped from the ceiling ahead of him and began to charge

The large being narrowed his eyes at the sight before he shot twin beams of energy from his eyes towards the rapidly approaching Parademon, incinerating it within seconds as more suddenly appeared.

Three days later…

'This is not how I hoped to die…come to think of it, can a New God even die?' Peter thought tiredly as he was pinned to the ground by several horrifically deformed Parademons that had large bone like waldoes erupting from their backs, their jaws elongated and filled with new longer teeth.

One of the deformed Parademons leaned down and hissed in Peter's face and was about to sink it's teeth into them when suddenly it and the rest were flung of the son of Darkseid by a powerful psionic blast that tore the limbs of one of the Parademons and completely obliterated the other in a shower of gore.

Peter quickly crawled back from the former Parademons and looked to see who rescued him or simply killed the zombie like monsters so they can kill him instead. He was relieved to see that it was Psylocke in all of her badass glory, with her sword drawn and a darl look on her face as she glared at the surviving undead Parademon before forming a ball of purple psionic energy and throwing it at the roaring Parademon.

It stopped and looked down at it's chest briefly before it looked back up and hissed-

KABWOOOOOM!

The undead alien erupted into a torrent of blood, bone and muscle and spewed the halls in it's insides, some of which landed on Peter who let out a noise of disgust.

"Okay…that is the second most disgusting thing to have ever landed on me" Peter said as he was helped back to his feet by a worried Psylocke.

"Are you alright Peter?" the telepath asked as she looked over her lord and love with concern at the state he was in.

Peter shrugged, holding in a hiss of pain as he felt something in his shoulder shift painfully "Yeah I'm good, suit's doing what it's supposed to do and that's keep me alive. By the way are you the only one here or-"

"PETER!" Warbird shouted in a mix of joy and concern at seeing Peter alive and threw protocol to the wind as she brought him into a powerful hug and spun him around in the air.

Peter let out a groan of discomfort, mainly because her hug was aggravating some old wounds he's sustained over the last few days "Nice to see you too Carol…now please let me the fuck go!"

It was then that Peter saw Diana approaching and gave her a nod "Surprised you're here but I ain't gonna question it"

Diana furrowed her brow at the man "Do you really think I'd leave you here to die simply because I'm unhappy with our forced marriage?"

"Yes" Peter, Carol and Betsy said at the same time which caused Diana to sigh in annoyance.

"Would it help if I said that Vision wanted me to make sure you came home?" Diana asked with her brow twitching slightly in annoyance.

"Yes, but mainly because he gave you the cute 'pretty please' look which even I can't ignore or say no to" Peter said as he scanned the halls before looking towards Carol "Is it just you three or are there others?"

"Grail is with Lemenus and Big Barda searching the cargo hold while a squad of Parademons are checking to see if-" Warbird was quickly interrupted by Peter.

"Wait did you say the cargo hold?" Peter asked fearfully.

Carol nodded confused while Diana spoke "Peter what's wrong?"

"We need to get there now!" Peter said in an urgent tone and turned just in time to see several more of the mutated undead Parademons appear along with a new variant that he's recently encountered.

This Parademon's body was more elongated and had two pairs of arms with large bony spikes in each limb. On it's back was four large waldoe like appendages with equally large bone looking blades. The head was split down the middle and when it opened it revealed a mouth of teeth and two long barbed tongues.

"Oh for Source's sake" Peter groaned as he sent a venom blast towards the new Parademon that let out a shriek and quickly dodged the blast only to be hit by Warbird's photon blast and caused it to let out a roar of rage ass it was sent flying into the bulkhead.

"RAAAAAAHHHHH-RAAAAAAAAA!" the undead Parademon roared as it quickly recovered and began to charge towards the four while more of the mutated Parademons appeared behind it, some dropping from the air ducts above and others crawling out of large holes in the walls and floors.

"We need to go now!" Peter said as he and Warbird were sending blast after blast towards the approaching hoard.

"This way!" Diana shouted as she kicked in the wall that led to another hallway.

Betsy formed a temporary psionic forcefield as she, Peter and Warbird quickly ran through the hole before Warbrid blasted the ceiling above it and caused it to cave in and cover it.

"That won't stop them for long" Diana commented as she scanned the dark halls for any more signs of the undead crew members "We need to regroup and leave this place now"

"For once Wonder Woman, we agree on something" Warbrid said.

Peter quirked a brow at the two and glanced towards Betsy 'How long have they been at this?'

'Ever since Carol found out that your married to her my lord' Betsy responded dryly 'And it's gotten worse since we've been here'

'You've joined in?' Peter asked with a silent snort.

'No, I'm above their petty squabbles' Betsy said dismissively.

'…Riiiight' Peter said before he cleared his throat loudly to get the two arguing women's attention "Girls as much as I would love to see you to fight it out, we have to get to the cargo hold"

"Is En Sabah Nur there?" Diana questioned.

"…Yes…and so is the thing that's causing all of this" Peter revealed grimly "Grail and the others have no idea what their walking into"

"…Are you suggesting we save them?" Warbird asked with a frown.

Diana looked towards the blonde in surprised "En Sabah Nur is part of the reason we're here, and Grail is-"

"I know who and what they are Wonder Woman" Warbird shot back with her eyes narrowing "But think about it, with them out of the picture Peter will be-"

"Carol" Peter said in a stern tone that caused the blonde to stop dead in her tracks "En Sabah Nur is the only thing aside from Kalibak that's keeping Grayven at bay, as for Grail, she's father's second favorite daughter and if he finds out I got her killed… it won't be pretty for any of us"

"Even Wonder Woman?" Betsy inquired curious to hear if Darkseid would risk his very fragile alliance with the Gods of Olympus and the team of heroes that she heard were called the Justice League.

"Even her, though he may go easy on you because killing you will terminate our…alliance…with the Justice League and Earth" Peter said as he turned towards the Amazon herself.

"I'm not afraid of him Peter, I've faced Darkseid many times before" Diana said as she folded her arms across her chest.

"True, but you never faced him alone, you always had the League at your back. Here, you don't-" Peter said before he felt his sixth sense flare and his body tense "Uh oh…"

"What is i-GAAAAAH!" Warbird tried to ask only for a beam of red energy to hit her in the back and caused her to scream in agony.

Diana immediately placed herself in front of the beam to deflect it from the downed blonde while Peter quickly caught Carol before she could hit the floor.

Betsy took this moment to see who it was that attacked them and paled at the sight before her…

It was Lemenus and her eyes were glowing yellow as she was holding a still smoking plasma rifle.

"Make us whole…" Lemenus said in a quite malevolent tone as she took aim with her blast again and fired.


And done.

Little short yeah, but next chapter which will come out a lot sooner than this one did will be longer and we'll finally see who it is that's also on the ship with the party from Apokolips and the undead crew members.
