Chapter Three: Apokolips
On the other side of the Sun, not too far from where Krypton was, lied a fiery red planet. The planet had massive volcanoes the size of the craters on Mars. Huge bursts of lava flowed out of them. Red burning rock paved the ground. The planet was Apokolips.
A great being known as Darkseid ruled Apokolips with an iron fist. He was around twelve feet tall and always wore a helmet. The helmet went around his cruel looking face. He had two pinkish-purple eyes that glowed darkly in the night. He wore a navy blue cape and armor. He sat upon the lave throne.
His servant, Metallo, was held up in chains. He was a human. From the planet Earth. That was the reason that Darkseid had selected Earth as his next target. Metallo's real name was John Corben, who had a near fatal accident. Darkseid had sent his servant Kara, daughter of Zor-El and last descendant of the planet Krypton off to find new planetary targets. She had found Earth and brought back a specimen. This specimen had just had his entire body replaced by uranium alloy. Only he needed more to survive. Kara was sympathetic and took him to me. I gave him Kara's weakness, Kryptonite. His body was now rich with it. It was his lifeline and his greatest weapon.
Now Darkseid had two great fighters on his side. While he was gone, he would leave in charge the brainwashed Scott Free of New Genesis, traded for Orion son of Darkseid in order to instill peace. It was time to depart from Apokolips. It was time to set out for Earth with his two dominions at his side. It was time to once again use his Omega Beam. Earth would soon be his and he would use their kind as soldier slaves to wage war against New Genesis. Then he would control the universe!
