"Wait, what do you mean, there's someone heading towards us?" Iida asked.

"Uh... that's exactly what I meant," Iron Man clarified. "There's someone heading right for -"

He was cut off by a blur landing on the ground, sending up a cloud of dust, accompanied by the sound of pavement loudly cracking and crumbling under military boots. The dust cleared, and Superman's eyes widened.

"Oh, no," he whispered as he recognized the figure, standing in a small crater that they made with their landing. The figure was a tall man, well over 6 feet, with slicked black hair with a little bit of gray on his temples, a neatly-shaven beard, fair skin, brown eyes, and a toned body visible under his bulky suit of jet-black armor, with metal gauntlets, a gray cape that went down to his calves, and a large red "Z" inside of an upside-down pentagon on his chest. The man grinned when he saw Superman.

"Hello, Kal-El," the man said with an upper-class English accent.

"Zod..." Superman replied with contempt.

"Of course... General Zod," Bakugou muttered.

Zod's eyes flicked over to Deku, who flinched when he felt his gaze land on him. "Hmm... must be seeing double." He gaze shifted back to Superman. "I assume that boy is your... doppelganger?"

The Man of Steel narrowed his eyes. "This fight's between you and me, Zod."

Spider-Man once again felt the hairs on the back of his neck tingle. "Uh... guys?"

"Look, Spidey, now really isn't the time," Yagi interrupted, preparing for a fight.

"But there's -"

"Quiet, Terran!" Zod spat.

"But there's another vil-"

He was interrupted by another figure landing a few feet away from Zod, kicking an even bigger dust cloud, accompanied by the unmistakable sound of metal clashing against cement, while a green glow emanated from within the cloud. The dust cleared, revealing a massive, hulking figure. The figure was well over 7 feet tall, made of light gray metal with several glowing, green highlights, and a blocky, expressionless head with two glowing lines running vertically along the front.

"Ooooohhh, shit," Iron Man said, recognizing the figure.

"Hello, Midoriya," the figure said in a low, distorted voice.

"Oh, who's this asshole?!" Bakugou asked, clearly more annoyed than scared.

"Monoma..." Iron Man growled, not bothering to hide his contempt.

"Wait, Neito Monoma?" Uraraka asked.

"Good, that gives me even more reason to hate this guy," Bakugou responded.

"It's Titanium Man, Midoriya," Monoma replied.

"Look, I get that one of you has an invincible suit of armor and the other is practically a god amongst men," Deadpool said, "but there's still only two of you, and, uh..." He stopped to do a headcount. "... 11 of us. How do you expect to win this?"

Zod grinned. "Like so," he said smoothly, holding up a small, black, rectangular box with glowing, blue lines running across it, all connected to a circle in the middle. "Mother Box..."

The "Mother Box" made a dull clanging sound, before everyone was taken by surprise when they heard a loud sound, like thunder, followed by a massive, glowing, crimson portal composed of several rings opened up beneath them, like a massive hole in the ground. The heroes all yelled out as they fell into the portal, which then spit them out into a dark room before disappearing with a loud snap. The heroes got to their feet, most of them rubbing their temples.

"Ugh... where the hell are we?" Uraraka asked.

"Well, if I had to guess... I'd say we're probably in an abandoned warehouse where the bad guys are waiting to turn on the lights and ambush us," Deadpool replied, causing everyone to look at him.

"Uh... that's an oddly specific -"

Iida was cut off by the lights in the warehouse turning on, revealing Zod and Titanium Man standing next to two other men and a woman. The first man, standing to Zod's right, was just a little over 6 feet tall, with pale skin, long, white hair, and red eyes, and he was wearing a dark blue vest over a light blue, long-sleeved shirt, matching dark blue pants, and black, fingerless gloves.

"Ajax! Buddy! How you doin', man?" Deadpool exclaimed, causing "Ajax" to scowl at him.

The second man, standing to Titanium Man's left, was a tall, stocky version of Todoroki with a combat vest, brown cargo pants, black combat boots, a dark brown gauntlet on his right arm, and a strange mask covering his mouth and nose, with several tubes on the front that almost vaguely resembled a skull.

"Todoroki?" Deku asked.

"Bane..." Batman growled.

"Ah, Midoriya..." Bane said, speaking in a posh English accent that was heavily muffled and distorted by the mask he was wearing. "How's your back?"

The woman, standing between Zod and Titanium Man, was of fairly average height and build, with long, pink hair, yellow goggles over her eyes, a navy blue tank-top with light brown cargo pants and black combat boots, and four large, mechanical tendrils coming out of her back, each on tipped with a massive, menacing claw.

"Hatsume?" Uraraka asked.

"Not your Hatsume," Spider-Man replied before turning to the evil Hatsume. "How's it going, Doc Ock?" he asked in a sarcastic tone.

Doc Ock smirked. "Well, if it isn't the webhead himself."

"So, you've got your own little League of Villains, huh?" Yagi asked.

"League of what?" Zod asked.

However, they were all interrupted by a man groaning at Yagi's remark. "Such a terrible name."

Deku's eyes widened as he recognized the voice. "Oh, no..."

They all turned around to see the familiar golden eyes and red-and-gold plague mask attached to the figure standing up in the rafters.

"I much prefer 'The Cabal'."

Deku scowled. "Overhaul..."

Well, this one took a while. Sorry to keep you guys waiting, but I've had to deal with a lot in the interval between these chapters. For one, I'm starting classes tomorrow, so I have to get used to waking up at an unreasonably early time to get dressed, eat breakfast, and clean myself up in time to... sit in front of a computer all day and barely do any physical activity. Not to mention the fact that I'm slowly transitioning over to writing on AO3 (don't worry, I'll still be posting on here), and of course, if you've ever tried to write on AO3, you'd know that it's not the easiest thing to do, because there's no autosave feature, so you either have to crank out an entire chapter in one sitting, or keep a copy of your story on a separate document. Mostly, my attempts to write consist of this:

- Get a cool idea for a story.

- Fill out the tags and related stuff.

- Realize that I have no idea how to actually start the story because I barely put any thought into it before writing it down.

- Take pictures of the tags so I don't forget anything and can use them for reference when I try again later.

- Get bored and do something else.

- Come back the next day when I get a brand new idea.

- Rinse and repeat.

Needless to say, it hasn't been very easy.

Anyway, I know this might be a little premature, but I feel like this is a good place to let you guys know that this story won't be the only one that involves the Multiverse. I have (at the very least) 4 sequels planned, each inspired by one of DC's "Crisis" events. But of course, I'm still planning for there to be at least 10-15 more chapters in this story, and my upload schedule is gonna be completely thrown off (more so than it already was) by all of the stuff I'm gonna have to do outside of this story.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this story, so stay tuned!
