Chapter 6

Summary AU!: Eighteen years ago, the wolf goddess, Lupa, adopted the demititan son of Atlas. Out of the five years, she adopted the clone of Superman. She raised the two as her own, turning them into something more. Something the world needs now more than never.

(Line Break)

"I got an idea" Cyborg grunts as he blasts another parademon, "I could open up boom tubes for the survivors. Send them back to Earth"

Flash throws another lightning bolt through three parademons, "But there are like tens of thousands of people here. How will we be able to find them?"

Cyborg didn't have an answer. But his Mother Box gave him several.

"Yeah...yeah, that can work" Cyborg mutters to himself.

"Care to share with the rest of the class?" Flash asked as he dodged a fireball. The flames hit a nearby consul, creating an explosion that blew the whole up the wall behind them. The two heroes and parademons were knocked to the ground by the force.

"I can force them back while sending the people back" Cyborg groaned as he tried to help Flash back on his feet, "I'll just need a minute to connect to the sys-"

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

The heroes tensed as more explosions echo throughout the building. Looking through the hole they accidentally made to see two blurs soaring across the red sky.

"Is that the kid? When can he fly?" Flash questioned. A parademon tries to sneak up on Flash, but was decapitated by a familiar looking shield. The shield ricocheted back to Batman's hand as he ran up to them.

"He's not flying" Batman says, "he's creating small platforms underneath his feet and jumping off from them"

"How is that even possible?" Cyborg asks.

"Most likely magic, he doesn't seem to posses anymore Kryptonian abilities" Batman answers, ignoring Cyborg's shocked expression.

The Flah scoffed, oblivious to the information he was just told, "Yeah sure, 'magic'...wait, Kryptonian?"

*BOOM!*

The ground shook again as the two Kryptonians clashed once more. Batman looks at the two and asks, "You two got a plan?"

Atsáli blocks another strike from Superman with his forearm before following up with a right roundhouse kick to the face. The kick connected, knocking Superman away.

'Just as I predicted' Atsáli thought as he used the magic that coursed through his body to create a small platform underneath his feet, 'magic does infect Kryptonians'

Reacting subconciously, the halfblood dropped the platform just in time to dodge a fist from taking his head off. Creating another platform underneath his feet, Atsáli leaps up and uppercuts Superman.

But he recovers quickly and blasts him away with his heat vision. Atsáli crashes through a nearby building, onto the ground. His armor protected him from the blast and absorbed the shocks, but that didn't stop him from growling in pain.

Superman soon flew in and picked up Atsáli and started strangling him. And as the young Atsáli struggled for breath, he couldn't help but notice how identical the two were.

Aside from the glows in there eyes- crimson red meeting cold blue- they both had the same hair, same face. He was pretty sure they even had the same voice.

'Gods, my brother's the one with ADHD, not me' Atsáli thought as he bit down on Superman's hand, causing him to lose grip. Atsáli breaks free and punches the Man of Steel in the face. As Superman spun away, Atsáli grabbed him by his cape and spun him like a helicopter.

He lets him go, sending him through a wall. He then grabs a piece of debris and jumps after the Man of Steel. The brainwashed hero turned in time to have a piece of debris break across his head.

Superman merely spits out a wad of blood before glaring at Atsáli.

"Gods protect me" Atsali whispers as he pushed more magic through his body. The two charged and swung there fists with all there might.

Darkseid dodged an emerald chainsaw to the face before headbutting Green Lantern away. He growls in pain as Shazam comes in and lashes at his torso, lightning surrounding his fists.

He knees the man child in his face before grabbing him and repeatedly slammed him on the ground. It wasn't until Wonder Woman kicked him in the face Shazam was free. Wonder Woman raised her fist to smash Darkseid's face in once more, but was stopped when parademons tackled her and carried her through the sky.

The other heroes were soon overwhelmed by Darkseid's forces. After hours of fighting, it seemed as though they've all reached there limits.

All except one.

The ground trembled as Viribus came charging in on all fours at inhuman speed. Diana only saw a blur as the demititan ripped several parademons apart in a minute.

He skidded to a hault, parademon blood dripping from his clawed hands and jaw. His wild grey eyes locked on to Darkseid and charged. Parademons tried to intercept the young heroes, but they were torn apart in seconds.

Darkseid gritted his teeth and sent a one eyed Omega Beam at the young Beta, but Viribus created a small platform underneath his foot and used it to spin out the way of the blast.

He landed on the ground on all fours and grabbed a manhole lid that was beside him. He chuck it hard at the dark god's throat, making him give out a strangled cry and stumble back.

Viribus then lunged at the parademons surrounding Shazam and started beating and clawing them down. He stood protectively in front of Earth's champion and snarled at any incoming enemies.

The parademons who were programmed to feel nothing slowed there advance towards the demotitan out of fear.

It gave Shazam enough time to conjure two massive thunderbolt to free Green Lantern and Wonder Woman from there captors.

Soon they joined there companions and ready themselves for another bout.

Shazam groans as more parademons began to show up, and Darkseid clutching his throat in rage, "How many of these things does this guy have?"

"Never mind them, we still need to take out Darkseid's other eye" Green Lantern says, "once we do that, taking these guys out will be nothing but smoothe sailing"

"Sailing will not be smoothe, not until we send all these monsters back to hell" Diana said as she eyed the portals, "I hope that our allies have better luck than us"

She then looks at Viribus who was staring intently at Darkseid. Though wild, there was patience in his eyes. The way his body twitched meant he was ready for another fight with the evil being, but she knew he was restraining himself.

'So much power, flowing through his veins" Wonder Woman thought as she eyed the wolf tatoo on his back, 'wild, untaimed power that can't be controlled. He must've trained very hard to have this much power at this age'

She looked to her left to see Green Lantern smirk and wink at her, and to her right to see Shazam sulking until he straighten himself up at her gaze.

'Harder than these two from what I see' she thought with a raised eyebrow.

"Darkseid...mine" Viribus growls out, "eye's mine...cover me...waiting for...or-orders..."

Diana looks at the demititan in slight awe, 'It appears this power puts a strain just as much on his mind as does his body. He's ordering me to take charge'

"Then sick him"

A savage grin returned to Viribus' face as his hair grew slightly in length and wilder. He released a howl as he drew out more magic power and charged on all fours. Darkseid charged at him as well.

Both sides followed after, but staggered back as the two clashing created a shockwave. Viribus clawed at the Darkseid's leg with his left arm before hooking him in the ribs with his right. Darkseid grunts punches at Viribus, but he backflipped away.

Viribus jumps to slam both his fists onto the back of Darkseid's head, but an Omega Beam blasted him into a building. He lands on the bathroom floor with a grunt, white dust covering him.

As he shakes the dust off of him, he saw something move out the corner of his eye. He turned to find a gray cat staring at him with intensely with green eyes.

Viribus growled and the cat hissed back, before a scream echoed through the house. The two ran around to find a family cowering before a parademon. Before Viribus moved, everyone was surprised when the cat leaped onto the monster's face and clawed viciously.

The parademon roared in pain before Viribus punched a hole through its chest. The demon slumped to the ground as the cat landed by his feet. The two shared a look before Viribus lept through the roof.

The cat meowed before crawling back to the family.

"Good boy, Dexter"
