The Rebirth of Black Adam Part 2
(Fawcett City, Illinois. McKeon History Museum. February 16th, 11:05)
"…Next time a super hero visits, I'M choosing the first place…" Pedro said flatly as the group was walking through a museum. The main room had many attractions, from a large triceratops skeleton to a large statue.
"Oh come on, Pedro. I wanted too show these guys the exhibit for the first-and so far, ONLY-super hero from Fawcett City." Eugene said as they went to the WWII-era wing of the history museum.
"There he is!" Said Billy as he pointed too a large glass dome over a display dummy wearing a dark brown military-styled uniform with a red diamond symbol on the front, brown gloves, pants, and black boots. On it's head was an aviator's helmet with a pair of goggles on top of it and a strange-looking pistol in it's hand.
"…Who is this?" Asked Jimmy, confused.
"THIS is the Spy Smasher's uniform. He was a super hero from Fawcett who helped fight the Nazis, especially their Super Soldier, Kapitän Nazi." He motions too a large poster near by, showing a dark blonde haired man with dark blue eyes, a black and red Nazi uniform on. The most surprising thing was his large size and swastika tattoo on his forehead.
"Well, he seems…Nice." Lois said calmly as she saw the other war heroes of World War II, such as the Blackhawks, the Freedom Company and the regular soldiers of WWII. "OK, they I recognize."
"Indeed. All of them were great heroes of the old days." Eugene said with a nod as Superman smiled a photograph of Spy Smasher shaking hands with a middle-aged, muscular man dressed in a black jacket over a striped shirt, white and red stripped pants and a nice-looking hat with stripes and stars on it.
A beep is heard as Superman pressed his hand against his comlink "Batman, what is it?"
"We have a threat in the area. He's very powerful and is looking for someone. Keep an eye out for him." Batman on the other side said, as he continued "I also called others from the League too aid us in this caper."
"Understood, I'll keep my eyes out for-" Before Superman could finish his sentence, Black Adam Crashed through the ceiling. "…Never mind, I think I found him…" as he turned and glared at Black Adam, who brushed off the rubble.
He looked towards the group…specifically at Billy. He walked over and asks "You are the chosen of the wizard? You are nothing more than a child." Tawny wiggled out of Billy's coat and hid behind Darla, hissing at Black Adam.
"Hey, back off the kid, elf-boy." Jimmy said with a glare, as Black Adam picks him up by the back of his shirt. "Hey! Put me down, ya jerk!" He then punched him square in the face, making Jimmy then yell out in pain from the thickness of his skin.
"…Hmm…I felt a small bit of that…impressive." Said Black Adam as he threw Jimmy to the ground and picking up Billy. "And now…to dispose of you before it's too late." He then took off at this.
"Billy!" said Darla in shock as she and her friends began to panic, as Lois came over to calm them down.
"Lois, get the kids to safety. I'll go get Billy." Superman said as he flew off after Adam, as Billy was struggling in his grip.
"Hey! Let me go!" Billy said, squirming a bit as he looked down. "Uh…when we get closer to the ground that is."
"Hmm…how about you get closer." Black Adam said calmly as he dropped him, causing Billy to scream as he fell.
"Billy!" Superman yelled as he quickly flew after the falling boy, but Black Adam tackled him out of the sky, smirking as he watched him fall before…
"GOTCHA!" said a voice as Billy looked up to see that he was in the arms of Wonder Woman. "You alright?"
"Uh…yeah…" Billy said with a nod as Wonder Woman set him down carefully as he saw that Batman arrived soon after her, followed by some of the other Justice League members: Zatanna, Green Lantern, Etrigan and Aquaman. "WHOA…the Justice League! THIS would be SO awesome of I wasn't in mortal danger!"
"Billy, isn't it? Why is he coming after you?" asked Batman calmly, looking at the boy with a stern look.
"Heck if I know. He just said something about a 'wizard' and that's all I know." Said Billy. He then yelled out when he saw Black Adam fly over, but Green Lantern sent a giant green fist too send him back.
"Kid, find a place to hide. Fast." Green Lantern said, as Black Adam broke free from the hold as he glared darkly. He then flew forward, but got sent back by a sonic scream from Black Canary.
"Not so fast, pal." Black Canary with a glare as she got into a stance. "Lets see you get past all of us first."
"With pleasure." Black Adam said as he powered up some lightning, but Etrigan quickly retaliated with a fireball. Adam smacked the fire aside, glaring deeply at the demon, who withdrew his sword and got into a stance.
Etrigan then says "You shall not harm the boy, Lightning user…" as he growled, charging at him as Black Adam flew forward, his fists ignited with yellow electricity. The two clashed, fiery blade connecting with electrical fists as the two different magic's caused a backlash.
"Ezeerf ni eno ecalp!" Zatanna said as a icy energy formed over Black Adam, freezing him in place. "That should hold him for a bit-wait, why is he still moving?" She then saw the ice was cracking, as Black Adam was breaking free.
"Nice try, girl. But the magic I have is above yours, Homo-Magi." Black Adam said, his eyes narrowing darkly as yellow energy formed out of his eyes.
"Wait, how did you-" before Zatanna could finish her sentence, Black Adam was infront of her, grabbing her by the neck.
"You use Backwards Magic…I have heard of it before I was banished again…it is a rare magic, that can only be done by the Homo-Magi."
"How do you know so much about magic?" Asked Batman, giving him a glare.
"Isn't it obvious? I have the Wisdom of Zehuti, which gives me many information from studying of the Wizard's tomes." Black Adam said calmly as he threw the magical girl right at Batman, making the two cringe as they hit the ground.
"So you have the power of the Egyptian Gods, am I correct?" Wonder Woman asked, giving him a glare as she got her grabbed her tiara.
"That is correct…and from your aura…you are affiliated with the Greeks, yes?" Black Adam calmly. Wonder Woman just nosd as she threw her tiara like a discus, but Black Adam catches it without a flinch. "Was that really you're best move?"
"Ever hear of a distraction?" asked Wonder Woman as Black Adam was hit from behind by Superman's heat vision as Wonder Woman sent an upper cut his way, sending him as she grabbed her tiara from his grasp. She put it back on calmly as she watched Adam go up.
Adam caught himself in the air as he growled. "Why you little…" He began before three batarangs were thrown at him, as they exploded on contact. "Alright dark one…you die first." He said, his eyes glowing as a giant green fist slams him down.
"Yeah…no." Hal said in a flat tone as the energy fist grabbed him and threw him into a wall, as Black Adam glared darkly.
"Alright…fair enough…lets see you finish this fight with your lives." Black Adam said calmly as he powered up, his body sparking up as his insignia glowed brightly with the power.
Superman glared as he says "Black Canary, look for Billy. Make sure he's safe. We'll keep this one busy." Dinah nods as she got thumbs up, but a blast of lightning stopped her.
"Sorry, but no one can exit this battle until it is finished." Black Adam with a smirk as he glared darkly at them. The League got into a stance, getting ready for his next move.
(Downtown Fawcett City, Illinois. February 16th, 14:32)
"Ah man! Ah Man! Ah man!" Billy repeated over and over as he ran through the streets. "OK…I gotta find a place to hide, quick." He headed towards a tall building, with the words WHIZ Radio on it.
Billy then heard a voice say "Billy? What's wrong?" He looked and saw a middle-aged man with a balding head, a short white mustache, a pair of wire glasses over his eyes and a blue suit.
"Mr. Morris! There's a psycho with lightning powers trying to kill me!" said Billy, as the old man looked at him oddly. "…Yes I know it sounds crazy, but look!" He said, pointing at the sky as Mr. Morris saw Superman and Wonder Woman fighting against Black Adam in the sky.
"…OK…you need to go somewhere underground." Mr. Morris said. He looked around and saw the opening of a subway near by. "Go into the Subway and find a place to hide there." Billy nods as he ran ahead, going down the stairs, panting a bit as he looked around.
He then saw that the subway was completely empty, as a train arrived. He then saw one man walk out. He wore a trench coat and fedora, keeping himself hidden greatly as Billy noticed a familiar kitten run down the steps. "Tawny?" he asked as he saw the cat go into the train.
Billy followed the small feline, looking around inside o the train. It looked like any other subway train, but more filthy and an old man sleeping in a seat. Billy then felt the train start as he got inside, sitting down as he saw Tawny wandering around, jumping from seat to seat with curiosity.
He watched the outside, as he noticed it slowly starting to turn into a bright blue vortex of some kind. "What the?" he asked, shocked as he watched the energy fly right by. He then felt the train stop as he got up. He then saw the doors open as Tawny jumped out. Billy followed him as he looked around nervously.
Billy noticed that the train had stopped in what appeared to be a large cave, with a large door in front of him. He walked over to it, as it creaked open, like it hadn't been touched in years
He looked around the large room, as he saw that it had 7 large statues, each with some sort of gem in its forehead. In the middle of the room however, was an old man sitting on a stone throne. He wore a long, white robe with a silver lightning bolt-like medallion around his neck and dark gray eyes under his long white hair and a dark tanned skin tone.
"Uh…sir? Who are you?" the boy asked, as the old man chuckled.
"Me? I am the Wizard SHAZAM!" He said, releasing a blast of lightning from his palm. "And you, Billy Batson…are the one who will help protect this realm from evil…especially the corrupted, such as Black Adam…" The old man said calmly as he looked at him.
"Who IS Black Adam? The guy who's trying to kill me?" asked Billy.
"Yes…you see, 6000 years ago, Teth Adam was taken from his home by the Pharaohs of Egypt. He saw that people were in great need of aid, so when the prophet Moses asked for his aid, he agreed…but he felt he didn't have the power, so he sought out the power needed too save his fellow slaves."
"And after a long journey, he had found my home and asked for my aid. I agreed, as I could sense there was good in him. So I gave him the power of the gods he believed in: Which, coincidentally enough, were the same gods as the Egyptians. But when he used the power too help free the slaves along side Moses, I sensed an evil forming inside of him."
"After the slaves were freed, the slaves that came form his homeland asked him if he could bring them back home, which eh agreed to do, so the two groups parted ways. When they arrived home, they were welcomed back in thresholds. The people looked too Black Adam as if he was a god and that made him grow more dark and corrupted. When he tried too take over, a being known as Blaze fully corrupted him by his darkness."
"What happened?" asked Billy, cautious now. Shazam sighed as he got up and looked at a mural on the wall.
"I was forced to seal him away…but after the many millennia, his tomb was reopened, releasing his spirit into his descendent, a man named Theo Adam…an innocent man who had become corrupted by his darkness…so when he came back, Theo asked too be away from Earth before it was too late…so I sent him to the farthest star…"
"but it seems, even after these past 8 years…he had been fully corrupted…but I do see that there is still light in his soul from where Theo is at…" sighed Shazam. "But for now…he is a threat that must be dealt with…so I have chosen someone who hasn't been corrupted by any outside forces…you."
"Wait, me? But why?" asked Billy, confused.
"Despite your hardships, you have kept yourself kind and generous to those who needed it. That proves you are able to handle the burden I will give you…but you will need aid too fulfill this quest…will you accept this duty?"
Billy looked at black Adam's mural, and at the statues behind him, each of them representing a sin, as he nods. "Yes…I think I can if I have the right help."
"Good…" said Shazam with a small smile as he raised his hand, storm clouds forming over their heads as lightning began to form around Billy, making a ruin circle form around him as the two's eyes glowed. "And now I shall give you six gifts" The Wisdom of Solomon…the Strength of Hercules…the Stamina of Atlas…the Power of Zeus…the Courage of Achilles and…the speed of Mercury…" He said as the lightning went into him, making him glow before…seeing that he wasn't any different.
"Uh…Mr. Wizard? I think you need to fix your magic lightning, because nothing happened." Said Billy.
"In times of great importance, you can call upon the power…it is only to be used too defend the innocent, never for personal gain. Remember this." Shazam said calmly as he sat down, not noticing the large stone about to fall onto of him. "Good luck, Billy Batson…you will be aided by a good ally soon enough…" He said as Tawny jumped onto Billy and climbed up onto his shoulder as he purred.
"Wait, But I have more questions" Billy said as he began to glow.
"When you need my aid, just speak my name." Shazam said calmly as Billy vanished, causing the cave too cave in slightly as he just closed his eyes, as the rocks fell onto him and his throne. "I know you can do it, Billy…I know you can…" was his final words as he vanished under the rubble of his lair.
(Back in Fawcett City. February 16th, 18:02)
Billy blinked, as he was now in an alleyway, confused. "What the heck?" He asked, looking around as he saw a neatly folded pile of clothes with a familiar set of glasses on it. "Huh?" He then looked and saw that the alley way was only a few miles away from the park where he met Clark, Lois and Jimmy.
Tawny poked at the glasses with his paw, purring as Billy picked them up and rubbed his chin. "Wait a sec…" He then pointed to the glasses and then to the bench before going wide eyed. "Clark is Superman?" he asked himself as he looked at the glasses "WOW people are stupid for falling for this trick…"
"Billy, is that you?" asked a voice as Billy quickly hid the glasses in his pocket as he saw Lois arriving with Freddy. "Thank god you're alright. Where's Superman?"
"He and some of the Justice League are fighting against that Black Adam guy." Billy said as a grunt is heard as they saw that Superman hit the ground with a loud thud as Black Adam arrived, glaring darkly at them.
"So it seems the boy has been touched by the wizard's magic…I guess I have to finish you off now…" He said as he powered up a lightning bolt, but a lasso got around his neck, making him cringe as Wonder Woman kept it on him.
"Billy, go somewhere safe! Now!" Said Lois as he and Freddy ran off to stay away from him, as the two ran into a building.
"OK, explanation, now." Freddy said with a few pants.
"Long story short: Wizard chose me to fight this guy, gave me magic powers, said to say a magic word that can help me activate them." Billy explained as Freddy just looked at him flatly at this. "Yes, I know it sounds insane, but it's the truth!"
"OK…so how do you activate this power?" asked Freddy, looking out the window for a second as he saw Black Adam slamming down Wonder Woman with her own lasso as he removed it from his neck as he got a punch from Superman.
"I can only use it to protect others and at really important moments." Billy explained as he heard a bolt of lightning outside as he saw the building shake. "Uh…I think we should leave before this building falls down on top of us…"
"GOOD idea…" Freddy as the two ran ahead, but then saw Black Adam fly in, causing the ceiling's stones too fall apart from the age of the building. It began to fall as Billy was pushed ahead.
"FREDDY!" said Billy in shock as he saw the stone and bricks hit his friend, as the dust cleared, it showed that Freddy was okay, but his legs were covered with the remains of the ceiling. "Ah man, Freddy!" He said as he went forward to try and uncover him.
Black Adam, seeing this, flew forward too attack but was hit by a sonic scream from Black Canary as she arrived. "Oh no…" She said in shock at this site as she went over and helped pull the stones off of the downed 12 year old.
Freddy groaned as he was pulled out of the mostly moved rubble, as he cringed. "I…I can't feel…my legs…" He panted in pain. Billy looked at this with shock, as he glared at Black Adam.
'dammit…I get this power and I can't help my friend! OK Shazam, You better give me some sort of sign or something…wait…that's it!' Billy thought as he says "OK Adam…I think I know what to do now…I'm gonna call up the Wizard."
"Heh, good luck with that." Adam said with a dark smirk as the rest of the league arrived.
"Watch me…" Billy took a deep breath and then yelled "I NEED YOUR HELP, SHAZAM!" very loudly, as if calling for the wizard. He then heard thunder forming as gray clouds began to form over them.
"What's going on?" asked Zatanna as she saw a lightning bolt go down onto Billy
"BILLY!" Superman said in shock as he saw the lightning hit him, but then saw him glow brightly into a new shape.
"Whoa…" said Wonder Woman, seeing a new person from the lightning. Black Adam glared as a figure took the new shape, glaring with glowing blue eyes.
