The Parademons Darkseid came with had flown away to cause damage to the cities across the world, if Darkseid was pushed back somehow he wanted this planet to be in pieces.
Gohan, Kara, Diana and Karen stood side by side, in the distance National City was evacuating, you could see flashes of red and yellow zip through the city, Flash and Kid Flash were moving fast to help, the shockwaves from the fight was causing earthquakes and the city was paying the price, buildings have fallen in response, Flash and Kid Flash had to rush into the buildings as they fell and get everyone they could see, unfortunately not everyone could be saved in time, with Parademons as a major problem, the speedsters could only do so much.
Batman had told them that Cyborg would open a portal when Darkseid was in a vulnerable position.
Vigilantes and League members working in unison across the world, Darkseid's ship was massive and it housed close to fifty thousand Parademons, the League was spread thin and Vigilantes in their cities did the best they could, lives were being lost at an precedented rate, Villains have even come out of their hiding to kill Parademons that attacked their cities, for the first time the usual enemies were working together, obviously the villains that were helping was purely out of self preservation.
They all knew the danger the world was in, and if these Parademons destroyed and killed everyone there wouldn't be a world where they can steal money or do what they want.
Lois being the ever ready reporter was running around the city with Jimmy, she hadn't been doing to good with Clark's death, but the reporter in her was strong.
"You rolling?" Asked Lois as Jimmy after a couple seconds swung up his camera and pointed it at Lois and gave her a thumbs up. "Ladies and Gentlemen! Not even four months after Doomsday the world is under attack again, I am assuming the very first major threat that sparked the creation of the Justice League has returned, the same demons from before have returned, it seems the Justice League has spurred into action and have been fighting back! The military has been mobilized and have started fighting back, I have gotten word that larger more organized terrorist groups have started fighting, even some of the run of the mill villains are fighting with these…demons, after The Continental's war declaration months prior, we can only wait and see what they will do in this situation, we can only hope that the Justice League and the military can hold out!" Said Lois.
Gohan charged forward and punched towards Darkseid who side stepped the punch before kneeing Gohan in the chest, he was blasted back but he had a smirk on his face, Darkseid noticed this, but too late, he span around as fast as he could but the only thing he saw was stars as Power Girl drove her fist into his face, Darkseid recovered nearly instantly and returned the gesture with a fist towards her face, Karen lifted her arms to block the attack, when his fist made contact with her forearms Karen's teeth clenched in pain as the pressure increased but she held her ground as the ground behind her was crushed under the force.
"Not strong enough!" Yelled Karen as she pulled her arm back and punched forward, her fist made contact with Darkseid, he grunted at the force but he did not flinch, he swung with much more force this time.
Karen wanted to block but her instincts screamed at her to move, she turned to the left at the last second, the swing split the ground in half and the crack continued to the city fifty miles away, she clenched her fist, she was shaken, if that attack connected she would be in a world of pain, but with her moment of hesitation Darkseid grasped it and back handed her with the same force.
Blood for the first time was drown in the battle, Karen's head rocked as she was flung back by the force, disorientated by the hit she hit the ground and skidded over it before bouncing up at the force, she was like a stone on water, she finally stopped when she collided with concrete, she dropped to her knees, to catch her breath.
Kid Flash was running with a girl and her boyfriend in his arms, he suddenly skid to a stop as a giant crack appeared in front of them, he stopped just in time.
"What in the world!?" Said boy as he looked in the direction in which the crack came. "What in the world could cause so much damage?" Asked the guy, Kid Flash glanced to him.
"The League's strongest members is busy fighting the boss of the invasion, this must be the result of their fight" Said Flash as a earthquake shook dropping them all to the floor, the shaking stopped and soon Kid Flash saw Power Girl coming in their direction with intense speed bouncing on the ground, Kid Flash contemplated catching her but he would break something if he tried to slow her down.
She smacked into the side of a building before dropping to her knees, Kid Flash rushed to her side. "Power Girl! You alright?" Asked Kid Flash, the civilians also coming to her.
Karen looked up with a furious expression on her face, she spoke with a calm voice. "I am fine, but Darkseid is about to be in a world of pain!" Said Karen as she took off at high speed back to the fight.
Kid Flash shook his head. "Seems the league has their hands full with the boss" Said Kid Flash, he grabbed the two civilians before running off to get them to safety.
When Karen arrived back at the battle, Gohan was being choked by Darkseid and grunting in pain trying to get Darkseid off him, Karen rushed to Darkseid and body checked him, Gohan felt the pressure around his neck disappear as Darkseid was pushed off.
Karen floated above him. "You might want to go god mode" Said Karen, Gohan looked up to her with a concerned expression, she was indirectly admitting that she alone even with Kara and Diana did not stand much a chance unless they had more power.
"I would like too but I can't" Said Gohan as Karen looked at him with a irritated expression.
"Why now!?" Asked Karen.
"I can't just force it!" Said Gohan as Karen's eye twitched.
"Performance issues is a real problem Gohan you might want to see a doctor" Said Karen, Gohan turned red in the face.
"It's nothing like that!" Said Gohan flustered, he adopted a more serious expression. "I have been trying to access it without intense emotion, but so far it isn't possible" Said Gohan, Karen sighed.
"Well then prepare to be in choke holds more often" Said Karen as Gohan shuddered, she was right, currently he was outclassed by basically them all, Super Saiyan was not enough, not by a mile. "I do have another mode that is nothing to sneeze at" Said Gohan.
Gine watched the fight, she was struggling to accept that the Saiyan Races god was being beaten by Darkseid, well even with the help with the others Gohan seemed to be fairing the worse.
Darkseid had flipped and skidded with his feet from the force before sliding to a stop, Diana unleashed hell on him, she threw heavy hit after heavy hit, the ground cracking under the force, she ended it with a hard punch to the gut, Darkseid took a step back from the force right into Supergirl's charged heat vision, Darkseid was pushed back, he hit a cliff, Kara stopped the stream of heat vision.
Darkseid dropped to the ground, he gave off a low laugh. "Is that all you peasants have to offer? With Superman gone, you will die, now let me fight at the same capacity I used against the Man of Steel" Said Darkseid and his walked towards the two, Wonder Women and Supergirl got ready, the atmosphere of the battle had just shifted.
"Kara…" Said Diana as Kara nodded, she felt sweat trickle down her temple, not from exhaustion but from her nerves.
"I know…" Said Kara, her eyes widened when Darkseid was suddenly in between them both, he punched both Diana and Kara, Kara had raised her arms to block in time but the force behind the punch rocked her, what you would see in a videogame when their guard breaks from blocking Kara's hand were forced to the wayside from the force, but the force carried her back, her hair blasted back and she was flung back like a ragdoll into the same cliff Darkseid just came from but she didn't stop, she hit it and went straight through.
Diana being the better more experienced warrior knew that if she tried to block that attack she would most definitely have her guard broken, a sloppy defense against that attack would leave her open to a more devastating one to follow, she dodged and accessed some of her real strength and delivered a left hook right into Darkseid's ribcage, However Darkseid barely flinched and before she knew it a hand hit her and she felt her body spin going through one of the few trees around before planting in a boulder.
Gohan saw his opportunity, a opponent is most vulnerable when they have just finished off an opponent, he quickly tapped into his Ultimate mode, the ground violently shook, his hair turned black and he moved so fast that Karen didn't even see him move until he was next to Darkseid, spinning horizontally he swung his leg putting his weight behind the attack.
Darkseid saw Gohan, he raised his forearm, the pressure from this spiky haired warrior was much stronger than before, his face was completely serious, a cold glare, one of calculated action.
Gohan's leg made contact, Darkseid's arm bent slightly, he glanced at his arm in mild surprise, only the Man of Steel ever forced his limb to move because of an attack, however Darkseid was looking to counter, but he was surprised when Gohan's leg was no longer applying pressure but he had span and in a brilliant display of martial arts and flexibility he had turned his body and was under Darkseid's guard, Gohan brought his fist close to Darkseid's chest before suddenly his fist made contact.
The power was nearly four times greater than the kick, Darkseid felt a small irritation pang on his chest, did Gohan pretend to add force to his kick just to make Darkseid lower his guard before revealing his real striking power.
Darkseid swung his arm to Gohan who parried the attack returning with a punch, Darkseid blocked it before growling. "Try again worm!" Exclaimed Darkseid, before he suddenly stomped Gohan's chest, Gohan in all his life never felt force of this magnitude on his chest, all the air in his lungs was forced out before he was back handed with extreme force away.
Karen rushed in, Diana and Kara coming from all angles, Karen punched but Darkseid blocked it, Diana and Kara however made contact, they put some real force into their attacks, Darkseid definitely felt those, he grunted in pain for the first time, but before he could do anything, Gohan was under his defense again, he span before punching forth with both fists.
Darkseid felt the fists sink in, coupled in with Diana and Kara's attack, Darkseid span as he was launched off his feet, he for the first time skidded along the floor before bouncing and hitting a boulder and stopping, he had not expected such force from these four, sure there was two Kryptonians and the princess of the Amazons, but the spiky haired fool, he didn't expect anything from him, if the female was any indication he shouldn't be this strong.
He had felt pain in that last combined attack, he growled in anger. "You will pay for that with your life fodder!" Gohan grinned.
He charged forward, Darkseid growled before going forward to meet him halfway, they collided fists, or at least Darkseid thought that was going to happen, Gohan had pulled his arm back and span, Darkseid realized he had been played.
The three female heavy hitters were on him, Diana kneed his face and both Karen and Kara delivered a joint punch into his gut, Darkseid groaned, he held his ground instead of being blown off his feet again, he grabbed Diana before swinging her, hitting both blondes before slamming Diana into the ground, blood came out of her mouth and her tiara had come off, she was bleeding from her temple.
Lois being the reporter had seen a giant crack in the ground, she realized that the fight must have been in that direction, she had called Perry and Jensen, Jensen being her pilot, and Perry for the copter and he had sent one over, Perry warned her that she stood a very real chance of dying, she didn't care, she told Jimmy that if he wanted to leave he could, but like Jensen Jimmy opted to stay.
The Parademon threat had been slowed down, the fifty thousand that came were being cut down, the military plus villains, vigilantes and heroes, the parademons had damaged and killed thousands but now they were down to a few thousand, a controllable number.
Lois, Jimmy and Jensen arrived just in time to see Darkseid step on Diana before kicking her into a cliff, again like before the world was watching.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems this demon lord is giving not only Power Girl and Supergirl trouble but Wonder Women as well, there is someone else down there with them, it looks like our mystery hero" Said Lois, many people were watching yet again, their fates in the balance.
Gine after watching realized that Gohan had not been fighting seriously, his attack just now blew Darkseid off his feet and into a boulder, she clenched her fist in anticipation. "YA! Beat his ASS!" Yelled Gine causing the people in the room to look to her surprised, but many had the same hopes.
Gohan charged Darkseid, with all three down, he would have to face Darkseid alone, he grinned his Saiyan blood boiling, he attacked with a punch, Darkseid blocked, the vibrations from the force shook the ground and the sky.
"The force of the fight is so great, we can feel the helicopter shake everytime their attacks connect" Commented Lois.
Darkseid attacked, he punched and Gohan blocked, he grunted, he felt his arm burn, the force of Darkseid's attacks were no joke, he and Darkseid exchanged blows, he and the three had been fighting for what felt like forever, Darkseid got a good hit in which knocked Gohan up into the sky, he saw the helicopter, his eyes widened in worry as Darkseid charged for him.
Diana however recovered and grabbed Darkseid's leg and forced him down, he hit the ground face first causing spider cracks, Karen gave him a swift kick, for a split second it looked like the Leaguers was bullying someone, Darkseid caught Karen's leg, he swung her around and gave her the same treatment Diana gave to him, she smacked face first, splitting the ground, her face lit up in pain.
Darkseid got up and kicked Diana away, before turning to face Kara, she didn't back down, she went head on with Darkseid, for a short while they seemed even until Darkseid landed a hit which ended the even fight, Kara was now bleeding from the face, she was disorientated from the blows.
Darkseid grabbed her arm before hitting it, a loud audible crack could be heard, silence settled, everyone heard the crack, even the audience at home watching on the TV, it was like a beam of steel had been snapped.
"AHHHHH!" Yelled Kara in pain, her arm broken and her bone protruding from the forearm, she dropped to her knees, Darkseid grinned before pushing her over and stepping her face, everyone watching could see Supergirl struggle with one arm trying to lift him off her, but with one arm she stood no chance, the pained screamed struck terror and tears into the world.
Gohan saw this. "NOO! SUPERGIRL!" Yelled Gohan as his aura burst to life, he appeared in front of Darkseid and punched with all his might, Darkseid, not wanting to be moved from his spot deflected the attack before grabbing Gohan and slamming him into the ground before throwing Gohan into the ground a couple meters away, Diana and Karen were right behind him.
They attacked but Darkseid felt a great amount of satisfaction from this, he had spotted the flying machine and knew that his world was watching, he wanted them to see him crush their strongest before he kills them.
He caught Karen's punch before swinging her into Diana, the heroes lay on the ground so close to Kara but not being able to help her.
Darkseid growled. "You are no MATCH FOR THE NEW GOD!" Yelled Darkseid, he looked to the copter, Lois felt her heart sink, Superman was no longer around to protect her.
Darkseid spoke. "You are all next!" Said Darkseid over Supergirl's screams of pain, he was still applying pressure on her, he suddenly increased the force and another crack was heard as Kara's struggling arm fell limp and her screaming died down.
Gohan, Karen and Diana was still getting up when Kara suddenly stopped screaming, Gohan saw Darkseid take his foot off Kara, her eyes were closed, she looked like she had gone to sleep.
Lois brought a hand to her mouth. "No…not another hero…" Said Lois as a tear slipped down her cheek, the world was devastated, they just lost another heroe that had devoted her life to saving the weak.
Karen screamed out, tears streaming down her face. "NOO!" She charged at Darkseid her fist pulled back and she unleashed a punch, Darkseid blocked it but unfortunately the ground behind Darkseid was not strong enough, he countered Karen and punched at her, she blocked it to his surprise, pure rage was flowing through, her eyes glowing crimson red as she unleashed a stream of heat vision that was so hot everyone in the copter felt it, Darkseid raised his arms and felt the searing heat burn him, he needed to stop her, he quickly rushed towards her, tanking her heat vision much to his pain, he ignored it before placing his hand on her head covering her eyes.
Karen screamed in pain, she cut off the stream, her head was now stick in his palm, not a very good place to be, Gohan moved as fast as he could with Diana right next to him, he had spoken to Kara many times, she was such a nice person, she didn't deserve that, he felt a tear slide down his cheek, he would be damned if he let Darkseid also kill Karen, they have their differences but there is no way he would let her die. He was furious, slight red aura faintly glowed around him before dissipating.
He and Diana got to Darkseid in time and Gohan struck Darkseid's wrist, causing the new god to let go of Karen, Diana grabbed Karen before kicking Darkseid in the face before using him as a launch pad.
Both Gohan and Diana created distance between themselves and Darkseid, Darkseid was no joke, Gohan clenched his fist in anger, Darkseid far more dangerous than Doomsday, he was worried that Darkseid wasn't even fighting at maximum capacity!
Darkseid smirked at them. "You see how futile your efforts are" Said Darkseid. "By the end of this fight, you and the other two will join your Kryptonian friend in the next world" Darkseid hadn't noticed a portal open behind him, Gohan and Diana however saw it, they didn't visibly react.
Lois saw the portal, Darkseid hadn't noticed and Lois knew better than to say anything about it. Jimmy however noticed it and was about to question about it, Lois saw this and for the first time rushed towards Jimmy to cover his mouth before putting her finger to her lips silencing him.
Gohan looked to Diana, they nodded at one another, they have one chance to get Darkseid, if he notices that portal, he would know their plan and it would become that much harder to get him there, Gohan's aura burst to life, he and Diana rushed forward, Darkseid smirked at them coming to their death, no idea their plan or the portal behind him.
Cliffhanger! I bet none of you expected this turn of events, I want to remind you all, everything is possible in my story, do not think your favorites are save, anything can happen, I will leave you all wondering what is going to happen next, will they catch Darkseid by surprise and force him through or will he realize and give them hell, Super Saiyan God is nothing something Gohan can call anytime he wants, he needs something serious to happen, to cause some serious emotional pain, but now to give you guys a scary thought…is Super Saiyan God enough? What if Gohan gets it and he still can't stack up to Darkseid? Well that is if he even needs it, they could push him through the portal, dangerous times indeed, tell me what you guys think, review and let me know.
