Neo Metropolis-Lex Corp

(In Lex Jr's office, Eternal Exitium was looking in boredom as the CEO was in the middle of a rant.)

Lex Jr: Those three IDIOTS! They have one simple job and they've blown it! Now their in the enemy's hand and who knows how much information the HRL has extracted from them.

(Eternal just rolled his eyes as he continued to listen to the ranting villain. That's when an idea crawled into his twisted mind. With a mischievous look in his eyes, he cleared his throat, gaining Lex Jr's attention.)

Eternal: I just thought of something. Does you device have access to the Phantom Zone?

Lex Jr: It does... What are you planning?

Eternal: Let's just say, a old friend is going to show our enemies... Armageddon.

Themyscira

(Dragnarok, Wonder Woman, and Belial arrived in Themyscira, having to come here after receiving a message from Queen Hippolyta, saying that the Amazon's home was attacked. Wonder Woman basically ran as fast as the Flash to save her birth home. Dragnarok, and Belial followed for their own reasons. For Dragnarok, he wanted to help, as well as expecting Eternal or the Spawns of Darkblood might be involved. For Belial, he was good friends with Hippolyta. Anyway, upon entering, they saw the place covered in dark crystals. When they approached a patch, they started to hear strange noises and dark, ghastly whispering can be heard. Dragnarok recognized these crystals anywhere.)

Dragnarok: Dark crystals... There's no doubt about it, Eternal and the Spawns are involved somehow.

Wonder Woman: What do they want with my home?

?: I'm so glad you'd asked.

(Turning around, the group spotted Eternal sitting on top of a pillar, looking down at them in amusement.)

Dragnarok: Eternal!

Eternal:(Looks at Dragnarok) Ah! It's nice to see you again, Master Darkblood. How's the family?

(Dragnarok just growled while unconsciously grabbing the amulet around his neck. Eternal just laughed, enjoying poking at the dragon's psychological and emotional scars. He then looks at the rest of the group.)

Eternal: If you want to save the inhabitants of this pathetic place, then meet me at the arena. I've got a surprise for you, and I know you're going to love it!

(And with that, Eternal disappears in a flash of Aether. With no other choice, the band of three went to the arena. Once they arrive, they couldn't help but stare in shock. Dark crystals littered the area, with tower size crystals sprouting out the battlefield's outer rim, acting like a giant cage. In the audience seats were the Amazons, caged in by the crystals. In the spectator's stand was Hippolyta, beaten and battered.)

Wonder Woman: Mother!

Hippolyta:(Weakly) Diana... It's... A... Trap...

(That's when Eternal appears right next to her, laughing.)

Eternal: Indeed it is. I thought a little... Reunion is needed.

(Suddenly, A giant three digit hand made entirely out dark crystals came out and grabbed the arena's edge.)

Eternal:(Starts talking like a announcer as the giant hand's owner slowly rises up from behind the ledge.) Coming from the Phantom Zone, created by the Dark Master Darkblood, like yours truly, and can be consider my "big brother", please welcome, ARMAGEDDON!

(Just as Eternal finishes, the creature is fully up and towers over the arena, roaring in the sky. The creature was a Golem made entirely out of Dark crystals.)

Dragnarok:(In fear) I-It can't be!

(Dragnarok knows Armageddon all to well, considering he was one who created the monster. Armageddon was based on the Golem Malefor made and his parents fought, both in design/appearance and prowess. There are a few differences. One is what the creature is made of. While the Grublin Golem is made from volcanic rock with a few dark crystals, giving it power, Armageddon was made entirely out of dark crystals and is powered by pure Aether, as it's mouth and eyes emit a purple glow. The crystal Golem looks down at the three, mostly staring at Dragnarok.)

Eternal:(Sees the stare) It seems he remembers you, Master. I guess he also wishes to restore you to your former glory. Isn't that right, "big brother"?

(Armageddon roars loudly, as if agreeing. Eternal just laughed before looking at the heroes.)

Eternal: Glad to see you agree.(Sadly sighs) As much as I want to see you all get teared into pieces, I've got other things to do.(Turns to Armageddon) Remember, capture Master ALIVE. He's too important for our plans.(Turns back to the four) Ciao.

(And with that, Eternal disappears. Armageddon, in a surprisingly fast motion, swipe it's claw down and grabbed Dragnarok, holding him in a vice grip in it's left fist.)

Dragnarok:(In pain) Augh!

Belial: Dragnarok!

(Belial then notices the Golem's other fist coming down on top of him. The Demigod just barely avoids getting squashed like a bug. Wonder Woman sent a fury of punches to the fist, only for it to do nothing. Belial then launched a barrage of smoke pellets and earth missiles at the creature's crest, only to once again do nothing.)

Belial: Damn, I'd forgot Darkblood created him to be indestructible...

Wonder Woman: There must be a way to slay this beast.

(Armageddon then caught the two off guard by firing a beam of Aether from it's mouth. Unable to react in time, the beam sent the two demigods flying. Dragnarok, who saw this, could no long leave his allies at Armageddon's mercy. He then launches a Aether Fury attack, completely blowing the crystal golem's fist apart. As Armageddon screeches in pain, Dragnarok runs to the down demigods.)

Dragnarok: Are you two okay?

(The two got up, ready for some more. That when they noticed some of the arena's structure started to float to the stump were Armageddon's fist was. The pieces attached themselves to the stump and formed into a hand, giving the beast a prosthetic replacement. The crystal golem looked it's replacement limb over for a bit before returning it's attention to the three heroes.)

Belial: If it can do that, how are we going to beat this thing?!

(That's when Dragnarok got an idea. It was risky, but it could work.)

Dragnarok: I created this thing, and I'm going to destroy it.

(Dragnarok then did something no one would've expected. He got into the air and flew into the creature mouth. Belial and Wonder Woman just stared in shock, while Armageddon started to grasp it's chest, also confused by the dragon's action. Suddenly, the Golem started clench it's stomach in pain, cracks starting to form around it's body. With one final roar, Armageddon exploded. The explosion not only destroyed the Golem, but it also destroyed the dark crystals that littered across Themyscira. Flying out of the smoke leftover from the explosion was Dragnarok.)

Dragnarok:(As he lands) Whew... That was one of the craziest things I've ever done.

(Belial and Wonder Woman ran up to him and, after punching him from pull that stunt, congratulated him.)

Belial: That was incredible!

Wonder Woman: Indeed, willing to march at death like a true warrior.

(That the entrance, Hippolyta and Amazon were sending their thanks and regards.)

Hippolyta: The Amazons and I thank you for helping us in our time of need.

Dragnarok: Think nothing of it.

Meanwhile

Void of Nothingness

(Looking through a sphere of Aether, Eternal watched the celebration.)

Eternal: So "big brother" failed? Pity, but it is of no matter. Once our goal is complete, we'll simple revive him.

(That's when Malphas walked up behind him, carrying a green stone and a blue stone in each hand.)

Malphas: Eternal, we've manage to obtain the Space and Time stones.

Eternal:(Turns around with a pleased look on his face) Excellent! Now, we are one step closer to completing our goals!

And that was chapter three.
