Welcome to chapter 9 and it's time for the fight of all fights to end: the heroes VS the Anti-Monitor.

Arrow Lair:

The teams were at the Lair discussing what was going on: the Shadow Demons were targeting the Paragons! Sara was about to speak when a breach opened up by the elevator, all the heroes that were there were suited up; even with Oliver and Mia in their Green Arrow suits and Diana wearing her armour.

"Am I late?" A voice bellowed as Clark Kent from Earth-167 ran through with a smile. "Sorry I'm late, I went to get some help from my world." Clark explained then a few moments later, four figures jumped out; one man and two women.

"WOW! This place looks more impressive than Watchtower!" One of the two women complimented; she had shoulder length blonde hair whilst wearing blue jeans, blue trainers, a white t-shirt and a black jacket.

"I agree, cous. Maybe you should get the tower decorated." Another woman spoke as she was holding Clark's hand. "Clark, introductions." She spoke and Clark nodded.

"Sorry. Everyone, you remember my wife, Lois." Clark introduced and Lois smiled. "And these are my friends; Oliver Queen and Chloe Sullivan." Clark spoke as the man wearing all green leather folded back his hood then took off his glasses, revealing his blonde hair.

"Two Olivers? This might be a little confusing." Felicity joked then Chloe walked and stood next to her.

"Don't worry about it, they all call me Ollie." Oliver from Earth-167 told them. "Only Clark calls me Oliver." Mia then noticed that Oliver from Earth-167 had a few things different compared to her father.

"You use crossbows instead of a bow?" Mia asked and Ollie nodded as he took out the crossbow from the left holster and held it out for Mia to examine.

"Thanks to Clark; they've been made from Kyptonian metal; from the ship that brought him to our Earth." Chloe explained which made all the heroes on Earth Prime impressed. "Quick question; is there a Kara Zor-El on this Earth?" Chloe asked but before anyone could answer, Kara Danvers walked out of the elevator in her disguise.

"Are I late to the team meeting?" Kara asked as the breach portal started to shake as two more figures ran out then closed.

"Nice timing, you two." Clark smiled as the two figures were women; one had blonde hair and was wearing black boots, red trousers, a yellow t-shirt and a blue leather jacket. The other woman had shoulder length brunette hair and was wearing black boots, black jeans, a black crop top and a black leather jacket.

"Sorry we're late. Kara was helping me control my other abilities." The brunette haired woman explained then she and the blonde haired woman looked at the group. "Hello. I'm Lana. Lana Lang and this is Kara Zor-El." Lana introduced themselves and Kara from Earth-167 looked around at everyone until she looked at Kara Danvers.

"Are you me?" Kara from Earth-167 asked and Kara Danvers nodded. "You have good taste." Kara from Earth-167 complimented and Kara Danvers smiled then she walked off. Shortly later, Supergirl ran back and it made the heroes from Earth-167 impressed.

"WOW! Now that's a nice suit!" Lana exclaimed as she walked over to both Karas. "Since you're both Kara, how do we split you apart?" Lana asked which made both Karas look at each other.

"Call me Kara and this Earth's Kara is Supergirl," Kara from Earth-167 suggested as Supergirl smiled. "Now that we're here, how do we stop tall, dark and ugly?" Kara asked as she looked at the other heroes.

"This Anti-Monitor is made of Antimatter," A woman's voice started and the heroes looked behind them; it was Lena Luthor! "Kara brought me here to help and since I'm the Paragon of Humanity, I had to help." Lena explained as she walked over to the computers "So like it's opposite, Antimatter can't be created or destroyed, it can only change form and move from place to place." Lena explained as she used one of the computers and typed as fast as she could, showing her ideas on a big screen for everyone to see.

"So we set off a chain reaction; destabilising his form and compressing his molecules so he's shrinking for eternity?" Ray Palmer asked and Lena nodded. "That's amazing! And it might work; I've done it myself when I was developing my Atom suit." Ray explained which impressed Lena and Chloe.

"While thinking of the idea is easy, developing the device in time; that's a different ball game completely." Chloe told them. "Do you have a place where there's a lot of tech so we can build it?" Chloe asked the group then they looked at Barry.

"STAR Labs in Central City. I can run Chloe and Lena there." Barry told them as his crowl activated while Ray went to put on his Atom suit. "Hold on tight." Barry told both Lena and Chloe then he ran off with them. Ray later ran in wearing his Atom suit and left.

"In case the Demons attack STAR Labs, we'll need a small team to protect them." Oliver spoke as Clark walked over to him. "Clark, you pick the teams." Clark nodded then looked at the remaining heroes.

"Supergirl, you go get any help from National City then take them to STAR Labs." Clark told her then Supergirl ran off. "Mia, can you, XS, Photon and Kara go and provide backup at STAR Labs?" Clark asked and the girls nodded.

"Hope you're not keeping me away from the action?" Kara asked her cousin as Mia grabbed her arrows while Nora and Alura got ready to run.

"No. This is strategy; two strong defences so that we can win." Clark explained and Kara nodded as she was impressed with the plan.

"I'm going with them too," Lois spoke but before Clark could say anything, Lois placed a finger on his lips and smiled. "Smallville, I'm helping. And besides, I want to protect my cousin." Lois told him and Clark nodded. Nora had picked up Mia then Kara picked up Lois then they all rushed out of the Liar.

"What about us, Clark?" Oliver from Earth-167 asked as he got his crossbows ready. "Where will we be going?" Clark walked over to the computer and using his superspeed, he started doing some checking.

"We'll fight here; Gardner Pier. It's deserted at the moment." Clark told them then he turned around and looked at everyone. "This is a big fight; the fight to save the Multiverse. We'll need to work together to win." Clark told them and as the team started to leave, Clark pulled Diana to the side to talk. "Diana, I had Lana bring something from our Earth for you to have." Clark told her then pointed at a huge container covered with a red cloth. "Meet up with us at Gardner Pier once you're ready." Clark told her then he ran off while Diana walked over to the covered container.

"A note?" Diana questioned as she knelt down and read it. "Found it on our Earth, it is yours to keep. It belong to an Amazonian legend; Asteria." Diana's eyes widened as she read the name Asteria. Diana stood up then pulled off the cover and her eyes widened.

Gardner Pier:

All the remaining heroes had gathered at the location to fight: Flash, White Canary, Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, Batwoman, Spartan, both Green Arrows, Clark who was wearing his red and blue Blur outfit, Lana who was still wearing her same clothes but no jacket, Alex Danvers and Dreamer shown up too.

"This is quite a team up," Dreamer smiled as she looked at the heroes. They all stood waiting until they heard the sound of metallic wings flapping. They looked up to see a golden figure lowering down in front of them. "Did someone invite another hero?" Dreamer asked as the golden figure stepped out of the sunlight; it was Diana!

"I see that Asteria's armour looks good on you," Clark complimented and Diana nodded as she stood between Clark and Barry. "Let's win this for everyone's future!" Clark shouted and everyone nodded just as a swarm of Shadow Demons flew towards them.

"DOWN!" Diana shouted and just as everyone ducked, Diana used the huge gold wings to send a powerful gust of wind at the Shadow Demons; sending them flying.

"LANA, NOW!" Clark then shouted as he and Lana stood up. Together, they used their super breath to blow the Shadow Demons back even further. But instead of retreating, the Shadow Demons started to swirl around on the ground near something: it was the Anti-Monitor.

"Man, I thought Doomsday was ugly. This guy makes that thing look handsome!" Ollie joked and Clark smiled. "Write that on the calendar; The Blur chuckles at a joke made by the Green Arrow." Ollie smiled and Clark nodded.

"Ollie, Clark. Assist me!" Diana shouted as she looked at Clark and Ollie, Clark then looked at his friend and chuckled again as they ran with Diana. The Princess threw her sword just as Ollie took out a bow, it flipped open as he inserted an arrow then fired; the arrowhead was sparkling with electricity.

"Clark! Heat it up!" Ollie shouted as Clark used his heat vision to make both the electric arrow and the sword hot. The Anti-Monitor caught the hot arrow but he didn't pay attention to Diana's sword, the hot slashed his shoulder then the arrow started to electrocute the Anti-Monitor.

"LOOK OUT!" Lana shouted but it was too late: the Anti-Monitor punched the ground hard, sending the three lead heroes flying into the air. Lana jumped and caught Clark, Flash used his speed to catch Ollie and Supergirl caught Diana.

STAR Labs:

Meanwhile, a science and technology team made of Ray, Nash, Chloe and Lena were currently working on ways to construct the device and how to make sure the Anti-Monitor would get hit by it.

"STAR Labs! You've got Shadows inbound!" Dinah Drake told them which made the team concerned but they knew they had to get the device completed. The small team looked at the entrance of the Cortex to see Earth-167 Kara, Nora, Alura, Mia and Frost ready for a fight.

"You ready for this, Auntie Frost?" Nora asked as her eyes started to spark. Frost smiled as she cracked her knuckles and looked at Nora.

"Girl, I was born to kick ass." Frost chuckled and it made both Nora and Alura smile. "Let's show these Dementors what happens if you mess with us." Frost shouted then Mia looked at Frost with a puzzled expression.

"Did you just call the Shadow Demons Dementors? The floating black ghost things from Harry Potter?" Mia asked and Frost nodded.

"What? They look like them." Frost answered. Their chat was cut short when they heard roaring. A couple Shadow Demons were flying towards them when E-167 Kara used her super breath to push back the Demons, Mia then slid across the ground and fired three arrows; each one hit the Demons.

"Eat lightning!" Nora and Alura shouted as they threw lightning bolts at two more Shadow Demons coming from the opposite direction. The team then looked around to see that the corridors were empty, they then split up while Kara Kent stayed in the doorway to guard the science team.

Gardner Pier:

Back with the away team, the heroes were trying to fight off the incoming swarm of Shadow Demons whilst the Anti-Monitor stood and watched. Clark and Lana were standing back to back, using their heat vision and super breath to push many of them back.

"Clark, throw me at tall ugly!" Lana shouted and while Clark didn't like it, he nodded then grabbed Lana's hand.

"Be careful, Lana!" Clark shouted as he spun in a circle once then threw Lana at the Anti-Monitor. Lana was just about to kick him but the big bad put up a shield, Lana's kick hit the shield and sent her flying into a truck. "LANA!" Clark shouted as he punched a Shadow Demon then ran over to Lana. Luckly, Lana was fine as she stood up but she was holding her ribs.

"That shield's tough!" Lana exclaimed just as Supergirl landed next to them. "Together. We'll hit that shield with our heat vision. Ready?" Clark asked and both Lana and Kara nodded. Then together, the trio hit the Anti-Monitor's shield with their heat vision to try and break through the shield. Both Olivers then started shooting explosive arrows at the shield to help.

"ENOUGH!" The Anti-Monitor bellowed as he punched the ground hard, causing his shield to shatter as a shockwave was sent through the ground and knocking all the heroes on to the ground. As the heroes started to recover, the Anti-Monitor started to glow with orange energy as he started to grow. "THE AGE OF HEROES ENDS NOW!" The Anti-Monitor bellowed as he looked down at the heroes.

"Sky team, go high!" Clark shouted as he launched himself into the sky, Lana and Kara shortly followed with J'onn flying close behind.

"Team, we need some help to get the device finished." Lena told them over the comms. Oliver nodded at Barry then the Flash as fast as he could.

"STAR Labs, Flash is on route to you." Green Arrow told them over the comms. Oliver then looked at his other Earth counterpart and nodded. "TEAM! We need to keep fighting until Barry gets back!" Oliver shouted and everyone nodded as they started to fight back against the Shadow Demons.

STAR Labs:

The girl team had just taken out the last of the Shadow Demons until two more came roaring towards Kara Kent. Frost was about to shoot icicles at them but they were blasted by an ice blast, they looked to their left to see Lois Lane holding the Cold Gun.

"No creepy ghost goes after my cousin-in-law." Lois smiled as she looked at Kara and smiled. Kara smiled back then walked over and hugged Lois. A yellow lightning blur ran past the group which made both Nora and Alura smile.

"GO DAD!" The girls shouted then the team ran off to catch up with the Speedster. The heroines ran in to the Cortex in time to see Barry, who had just finished building the device.

"Once you're near the Anti-Monitor, press the button then throw it." Lena instructed and Barry nodded. "Palmer, let's go. I called in a Lexosuit for protecting reasons." Lena explained then Kara and the others walked over.

"We're all coming too, let's see this to the end." Kara Kent told the Speedster and everyone nodded in agreement. Ray and Lena then walked in wearing the suits as Kara picked up Lois. Lena picked up Chloe while Ray picked up Mia.

"Nash, stay and look after the place." Frost told him and as the team ran out to end the fight, once and for all.

Meanwhile:

Back at the Pier, the fight wasn't going well as more Shadow Demons had appeared and the Anti-Monitor was too tough for them, even for the supers like Clark and Kara. A cold beam came from nowhere and hit the Anti-Monitor in the ankles.

"Try some frostbite!" The team looked behind them to see the others from STAR Labs. "Powergirl, fly up and help your cousin. We've got these losers!" Frost told Kara and she nodded as she blasted up into the sky while the others joined in the ground attack.

"DAD! DOWN!" Mia shouted as she fired three arrows, Oliver rolled to the left for the arrows to hit the three Shadow Demons flying towards Sara and Nia.

"Trying to show off your old man?" Oliver asked as he stood next to his daughter. Mia smiled then together, they kicked and smacked the Demons away. Barry was throwing lightning bolts until he saw Alura shooting blue heat visor while Nora had just jumped then threw lightning in the shape of shurikens.

"You two are making me and your Mom very proud!" Barry shouted over to the two, both Alura and Nora smiled at their Dad then ran back to continue the fight.

In the sky, Kara was flying alongside Lana while shooting their heat vision. The Anti-Monitor smacked Supergirl high into the sky until something caught her.

"Ready to try fighting together, Kara?" Kara looked behind her to see a Lexosuit, the helmet opened up to reveal Lena's face. "I know we had issues after finding out the truth. But with a new Earth, let's start fresh? A new beginning?" Lena asked as she held out her hand, Kara smiled and nodded as she shook Lena's hand.

"Let's show this creep some girl power!" Kara shouted as she, Lena, Kara from Earth-167, Lana and Diana all floated together. The team then flew as fast as they could as their extended both arms with their fists clenched, the Anti-Monitor turned around in time for him to be punched in the face by five women. The giant Anti-Monitor started to lose his balance as he flew backwards and crashed into the empty harbour.

"CLARK! NOW!" Barry shouted over the commlink then a red and blue blur ran past them. It was Clark as he threw the device, it was about to fly over the Anti-Monitor when Nia used her powers to create a whip and pull it downwards; smacking it into the Anti-Monitor's chest. The giant tyrant started to scream as he stood up and tried to remove the device but it was too late, he had started to shrink but it didn't stop. The Anti-Monitor was now human sized as Clark walked over to him with his traditional smile.

"You said the age of heroes is over?" Clark asked as the Anti-Monitor was still trying to remove the device. "I would say that the age of the Anti-Monitor is over." Clark told him then he punched the Anti-Monitor hard in the face, sending him forwards as he continued to shrink into nothing.

"Is that it? Did we win?" Diana asked as she removed the helmet from her armour, everyone looked around then they looked at Lena who was checking something on a computer.

"Scans show no signs of Antimatter or traces of the Anti-Monitor." Lena told them which surprised everyone. "We won! We've saved the Multiverse… again!" Lena shouted, then the team cheered and smiled as they were happy: they had beaten the Anti-Monitor and saved the Multiverse!

That's the end of chapter 9 but it's not over yet; one more chapter to round up everything! And a surprise that you probably wouldn't see coming!

See you next time for the finale!
