Author's notes: End is near. Both this year's and this story's ending. It's more bad stuff going to happen but not here yet. I promise you, I will attempt to finish this story by the New Years and a whole cataclysmic fight against Voldemort/Earth-3 Luthor will bring everyone trying to fight him on their knees.
He is our you
Using her hydrokinetics Mera had been hold her own against Superwoman by throwing as much of the ocean as she had at her, who responded by turning it to steam with her heat vision. After the pattern had kept repeating itself, Mera had turned the tables against Superwoman by jumping to the waters herself and surrounding herself with so much water that attacking Superwoman from above, she managed to get her submerged and use her own element to her advantage. Thought Superwoman could fly incredibly fast, that was not helping her underwater as Mera had pulled her to the ocean with her, not far from where the Atlantean forces were fighting the Trench. After keeping Superwoman under water for long enough, Mera threw her back on land where she still had strength to stand and fight.
''Will you ever tire?'' Mera questioned Superwoman right before she charged at her again. Mera moved out of the way and grabbed onto Superwoman's cape, smashing her to ground again.
''You are already tired, yet you keep fighting,'' Mera said beginning to use her hydrokinesis on Superwoman herself as steam was pulled from her skin. ''You have little to go on anymore and I can make that even less. I can drain the liquids out of you as if you haven't drank any water for a day. Or two days. Now it's three days without any water, do you still think you can fight on?''
''I… always… fight on…'' Superwoman attempted to spit at Mera, but barely had any saliva in her mouth to do so, ''puny… mermaid…''
SMOCK!
Mera kicked Superwoman to the stomach, making her faint as she was already weakened. Mera then took Superwoman's barbed wired lasso and tied her with it, before throwing her next to detained Johnny Quick and Atomica.
''Don't just stand there,'' Mera told the Outlaws and super villains. ''We are not done here!''
After waiting long enough, Billy Batson had left the Gryffindor Tower and to cover his secret, ran to a distance away from Hogwarts castle before calling down the lightning.
''SHAZAM!''
KRA-KA-THOOM!
Young boy Billy Batson turned in adult Shazam as the lightning had stroke and immediately jumped up in the air, beginning to fly in the direction Ultraman had flown to with Rose and Hugo. Flying on, Shazam was suddenly distracted by
Thoom!
another lightning striking in the distance on his left. A black lightning? Even Black Adam didn't have that kind, his lightning was the same as Shazam's. As much as Rose and Hugo's saving was important, Shazam's duties as the Champion of the Wizard overruled them and he had to change his course and see what the black lightning was.
TZOOOOOOM!
''Holy moley!'' Shazam said as that black lightning speeded past him.
Shazam looked back and forth to where it had gone and where it came from. Again, his responsibility as the Champion of the Wizard made Shazam to go see the place of impact before following the black lightning.
Justice League Watchtower
''There's Firestorm.''
Batman, Element Woman and John Constantine had made their way to the the secluded part of the Watchtower where Firestorm had been locked into. The engine room usually was what kept the Watchtower on orbit, but now it was keeping Firestorm locked in a similar lock as Ron had been put into. He also looked like a balloon filled with too much air and few seconds away from blowing up.
''Alright, let's see'' Constantine said lighting one of his cigarettes on the flame on Firestorm's head and begun to inspect the stance of which the nuclear man on. ''Possession is simple to notice from out-of-characteristic behavior, such as not protesting this situation, and from external sights, such as extreme sweating, twitching and speaking in tongues.''
''Spare us the diagnosis and stop him from exploding,'' Batman told Constantine.
''Not a diagnosis, that wos just the bloody observation,'' Constantine shot back at Batman by pointing his cigarette at him. ''The crash course of how the Firestorm Matrix works gave me a little insight on how the two persons in it create and divide the bloody thing, but that's done by their own free will. And when I exorcise bad spirits from their victims, the victims are forced in their predicament.''
''But with Deathstorm-'' Element Woman asked.
''Deathstorm was the exact opposite of both situations,'' Constantine said scratching his head. ''He wos a bad bastard forcing a recently deceased to co-inhabit his version of this. I should be able to do what I did to the bad version to this good version too, but with what!? I could call to the people trapped in there but first I would need to get through the two first people driving in the bloody cockpit.''
''It is an Imperiatus curse.''
Batman, Constantine and Element Woman turned around to the voice and were faced with Owlman, who also had Zatanna with him. She looked like she had cough and her hair was a bit messy, but otherwise she looked fine. Nervous, but fine.
''Outsider cursed him with his own version of Imperious Curse to stay and not divide just yet to keep everyone inside,'' Owlman said standing in a not defensife or offensive position. ''Hello, brother, ms Sung and mr Constantine. As I said, remove the Imperiatus Curse and begin your exorcism.''
''Zatanna?'' Batman asked looking at her, who nodded and tapped her throat. ''What did you do to her?''
''Muscle relaxants, just to keep her from speaking,'' Owlman told Batman, showing that he wasn't keeping Zatanna in any kind of leash. ''Constantine, your exorcism?''
''Corpus in carcerem appello victimarum,'' Constantine said turning around and put his hand on Firestorm's forehead. ''Ronnie Raymundi et Martini Stein, audi vocem meam, et duc exercitum in carcerem, sunt in lucem, ut tecum.''
''What do you expect to gain from this?'' Batman asked Owlman, walking between him and Zatanna. ''You do realize that no jury on this Earth will condone to this or give you anykind of asylum from the Crime Syndicate?''
''The world already knows that the Crime Syndicate is an evil version of the Justice League,'' Owlman said looking at all the exits in the engine room. ''If I get incarcerated, they will attempt to identify me and my DNA will immediately match to yours. Not one hundred procent, but enough to connect us as relatives. 'Crime Syndicate's Owlman is related to Wayne Family.' Think about that, Bruce.''
''Batman!''
Lex Luthor walked to the engine room followed by Deathstroke and Captain Cold carrying barely conscious Ron Weasley after his near death experience and whatever-had-happened-to-Granger keeping the children under her cloak. The children, Rose and Hugo, seemed to be accepting to their mother being whatever she now was but their faces told that they were wondering what had happened to her.
''We need to move out now!'' Luthor said showing hologram on is suits left hand. ''This is connected to LexCorp satellites I have set out in Jupiter. The nearest piece of technology not corrupted by the Grid Virus. Something is heading our way.''
''What is it?'' Batman asked looking at the holographic image of air surveillance.
''It's him,'' Owlman said looking at it as well and gritted with his teeth. ''It's the last thing we fought on our Earth after Valeyard sent the Cybermen against us and got sent here.''
''We don't have time for a pronoun game!'' Luthor told Owlman with a very serious face. ''What the hell is on its way here!?''
Owlman looked at Luthor through his round, dark goggles and answered:
''He is our you, but we called him by another name.''
Shazam landed in London where the black lightning had stroked. No civilian causalities, not everyone had dared to come out in light of these events, but in ground zero, Shazam found Superman and someone who Billy had seen a picture of in History of Magic's class, Harry Potter.
''Superman, Auror Potter,'' Shazam said landing near them. ''What the hell happened here!?''
''YOU!'' Harry said alarmed and aimed his wand at Shazam, before lowering it. ''No, you're not him. But you have the same lightning powers.''
''You can call me Shazam,'' Shazam told Harry holding his hands where Harry could see them. ''What caused that black lightning?''
Mention of it caused Harry to look down at Superman who was really in bad shape. No Sun to power him and now he couldn't jump over the Moon.
''You can fly?'' Harry asked Shazam kneeling near Superman and tried to get him up. ''Can you fly him to a contact with Sun light so he could get his powers charged up?''
''I can and I will,'' Shazam said helping Harry hold the unconscious Superman up. ''But I need you to tell me what was the cause of the black lightning that did this to him.''
Harry didn't say it immediately. He was himself still processing it after the revalation had happened. Hearing his voice again without his scar hurting had felt unsecured since he couldn't foresee his plans of action, but then there was also the other voice. Harry's own voice had echoed from Alexander's mouth.
''Lord Voldemort,'' Harry told Shazam, who according to the look on his face was aware who he was. ''He flew to southwest from here.''
''How can it possibly be-''
''Fly him to Sun!'' Harry told Shazam, not giving him a chance to speak back and waved his wand. ''At least this works again. I'll follow Voldemort and signal you to follow me when I catch up. Now go!''
Shazam looked at Harry skeptically, but nodded and set to fly up to the sky with Superman. Harry looked as they went before waving his wand towards where Grimmauld Place was and yelled:
''Accio Firebolt!''
''Good news! I made contact!''
Firestorm shook his face slowly in front of John Constantine. He slapped him to cheeks couple of times as he reacted, confirming the success.
''Then hurry up!'' Batman told him taking a syringe of adrenaline from his belt and stuck to Zatanna's throat. ''If Owlman is right about that thing, you need to be inshape to magically teleport us out of here once Constantine is done.''
''…ou can't trust him,'' Zatanna spoke in scratchy, coughing voice. ''He is obsessed and working only on his own survival. The only reason he has not killed us is because he sees you as his brother and me as my counterpart from their world.''
''Problem!'' Constantine said.
''What is it now, John?'' Zatanna asked.
''I got through Stein and Raymond, but I can't reach the others trapped in without a stronger link.''
''What would that need to be?'' Pandora asked stepping closer to Constantine, who looked back at her hostilely before replying.
''Something physical that get's through inside their mind stronger so they can recognize our end as a friendly welcome.''
''Would it be this?''
CHANK!
Everyone turned to the direction of the voice and saw Grid being thrown to the floor deactivated, and an upgraded Cyborg walking over machine.
''Cyborg is back!'' Newly reborn Victor Stone said holding in his hands Wonder Woman's golden lasso. ''I got this from A.R.G.U.S. Also my new augmentations helped me hacking into Crime Syndicate's systems and shut down my old hardware.''
''Ingenious,'' Luthor said as Cyborg handed Constantine the golden lasso. ''How did you get here?''
''Boom Tube.''
''Then Boom Tube her to straight to A.R.G.U.S and tell them to get her freed from that!'' Constantine said, stopping his tying the lasso around Firestrom's neck pointed at Pandora. ''I swear to God if I get to that bloody bastard who did that to her, I'll kick their arse straight to Hell.''
''Hermione!?'' Ron said between Deathstoke and Captain Cold. ''What happened to your face and your hair?''
''Some sick bastard gave you wife the burden of one of the biggest sinner in mankind's history to carry on, mate'' Constantine said ready to pull. ''I just about done soon. Just need to-''
TZA-ZAAAAP!
As Constantine pulled, bright red-yellow-orange light flashed in the engine room as Firestorm was split into a number of people. Everyone who had been captured and trapped inside the Firestorm Matrix were now on their knees on the floor and getting up, including Professor Martin Stein and Ronnie Raymond.
''Watchtower?'' Wonder Woman said getting up as Cyborg handed her her lasso.
''I'll brief you all later,'' Batman told everyone with his voice letting them know they needed to hurry. ''Zatanna, teleport us out of here!''
''ENOYREVE YAW-'' Zatanna attempted to cast her teleporting spell, but was cut by
''HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO EVERYBODYYYYYYYY!'' loud voice said in high volume from all the intercoms, making everyone put their hands on teir ears. ''Oh, was that too loud? Well, if your ears are bleeding, think of it as those coming and going things. But can you imagine how happy I am to see my king again?''
''JOKER!'' both Batman and Owlman said in unison, as the monitors opened up to static that changed to link of the said individual, in black suit and tie.
''Hello, to you my two kings, or actually just the Bat King, I'm only one jester,'' the Joker, whose grinning face was shown in high definition having closed up wrinkly skin. ''To the Owl King, who I still don't see as the actual monarch, if you're wondering the face from before, keep on wondering, hahahaaha. But everyone in general I'd keep tight on where you are now and not do anything haste.''
''Cyborg, Boom Tube everyone away from here and-''
''Aaa-pa-pa-pa-pa-paa, wait my good king. Or do whatever the hell you wish, you are the king after all,'' the Joker stopped Batman from telling anyone what to do. ''Still you should know I have been busy serving you on this tower in getting rid of your kingdom's invaders. I wasn't expecting you to be here, your majesty-''
Aquaman snarled.
''-but since you have taken your time to immunize yourself to my compounds during my service, you should come home as your grim self. Everyone else though…''
''Gas,'' Batman realized from the Joker's speech. ''He is trying to poison everyone inside the Watchtower!''
''And more bad news,'' Luthor said showing his hologram. '''Voldemort' has reached us.''
''What the Hell are you even supposed to be!?'' Ultraman asked fighting against the creature bearing the reversed S-symbol and his suit.
''Me… am… Bizarro,'' the creature muttered taking his beating and almost not minding it. ''Hurrrr…''
It kept coming at Ultraman all the time, blowing fire from it's mouth and shooting ice from it's eyes.
''What you are, is a damn EYESIGHT!'' Ultraman said firing his own heat vision at the creature's ice vision. ''Whoever it was who created you, SHOULD HAVE LEFT YOU TO DIE!''
''LUTHOR AM BIZARRO'S FRIEND!'' the creature roared at Ultraman. ''AND LUTHOR WANTS BIZARRO TO DISTRACT THE U-MAN!''
''You are one whose- WHAT!?''
KRA-KA-THOOM!
A black lightning hit Ultraman and Bizarro, sending them to hit the ground near were Mera, the Outlaws and the super villains were. They only got to notice them before their attention was turned to the the orange and and black clad figure wearing a large dark blue lighting on his chest and a lighting shaped thick scar over his right eye.
''Ultraman, Crime Syndicate, and the people of this world,'' the figure spoke with his hands charging up lightnings' powers, threatening to throw it at them, ''KNEEL BEFORE YOUR LORD VOLDEMORT!''
Author's notes: With the new casting news about Jared Leto being the Joker in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie, I here by change his actor from Troy Baker to Jared Leto. And the face issue, same thing as whatever Scott Snyder is writing in his current Endgame story arc.
NEXT TIME: Voldemort will fight super villains, superheroes are fighting the Joker Venom, brothers will fight, sins will become heavier and Hell will open it's doors on Earth.
Replies to Reviews:
Miss Singing in the Rain: Pretty much the same. And I also still miss Young Justice.
Tiger5: Rose can become very resentful after what happens when this is over. She is pretty passive now, but madness just needs it's little kick.
Guest: In Earth-3, Ultraman's influence changed the events drastically by Harry never being purged of his part of Voldemort's soul. Also, Harry and Voldemort came to an understanding that Ultraman was worse than what either of them wanted so they made a truce to kill him with Avada Kedavra and failed. Doing this killing Curse piece of Harry's soul, which also had that splinter of Voldemort's soul, flew into closest person near by along with anther small piece from Voldemort himself. Alexander Luthor who had arrived to Hogwarts following the trail of clues to his sister's killer. That is how Alexander Luthor of Earth-3 became a horcrux like Harry Potter once was and the two splinters of Voldemort eventually took over, after discovering Earth-3's Rock of Eternity.
Exodus5: Where we are going? To battle of high and might divine magic pushing down on those who have discarded it for science. Yeah, I just made that up, but believe that's what Voldemort is going to do. I was pretty much okay with Forever Evil, but as you might have noticed, I have been improving the plot my own way.
Scott: Better late than never to get in. And I will take that as a compliment.
