Chapter 3. blood shed
Goku finally came round, after a srious concussion, he had no idea how he got knocked out in the first place. All he could see was a dark sky, and superman lying across from him. Was it night, how long was he out for. Superman made a sound that sounded like a groan. Goku paid him no attention. He tried to get up but immediately regretted it as shooting pain was felt in his head and back. "what have they done to me," goku muttered to himself. Superman managed to train his eyes on goku. "Your bones and spine are broken, I am sorry, I don't know what came over me, it was like a boiling hot rage, I just wanted to beat you to a pulp for no reason, I am truly sorry." Goku considered his apology, he did look calm and collected, he had no evil intent. "All right, where did you come from." Superman breathed a sigh of relief. "I came from a universe, another dimension not related to this world. I come from a universe where most of my group are known as heroes while the others are known as villains, we all have powers, otherworldly, but probably very familiar to you, but we try to use these powers for good," Goku now had a clearer understanding of what superman and his crew could do. "Okay, so you are not evil, you just were forced to fight me," goku looked puzzled. "Yes, I don't know where the rage came from, I just know that who ever can do this, is extremely powerful." Goku looked grave, "we need to stop this before anyone else gets taken," superman whole heartedly agreed. They both then got down to talking about strategy, but neither of them even thought about mental defence. Where as on the side of the joker, he was already awake after his untimely knock out, that wasn't in the plan. Who would dare knock out the mostevil man in all of history. The joker started laughing uncontrollably "hahahahahahahahaha, hahahahahahahaha, I'm back people, hahahaha," the joker had no apparent reason to laugh, but he had the strong impulse to laugh. Then he saw a very grave face, it just happened to belong to none other than, "Super man, why, so , serious," Superman whipped around, "joker, why are you here, I thought you were dead," the joker revelled in his fear, "too bad, I'm still here, do you want to test my solidness, here take my hand, it will only take a minute," superman was grabbed roughly by the joker, "you didn't have a choice, dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," The joker sent an electric charge through supermans body, jarring him, He gritted his teeth, to bite back the pain, but it was excruciatingly painful. Pain beyond pain, super man bit back a cry of agony. "Enjoying this hard man, I can do this for as long as I want, and there's nothing you can do about ahhhhhh, screw you, ahhhhhhh," goku had interrupted the jokers rant, and threw him into a wall, the joker was boiling with anger at this. But goku on the other hand was deadly calm. "Don't harm a defenceless opponent, why won't anyone get the message, it isn';t honourable," superman was too busy recovering his strength to notice any of this. "Who are you, how, dare, you, challenge, me," the joker weezed, the wind had been completely taken out of him apon impact with the wall. Goku looked at him, with a look that would kill any low ranked human being. "I am the light that shines in the darkness, I am the justice that inocense call for, I am you killer," goku delivered a sharp right hook to the mad mans face breaking his cheekbone. The joker fought off the pain and lepta off the wall with surprising agility and ease. "You can kill me, if you can catch me," the joker let out a smoke bomb and obscured every bodied vision. He started climbing from roof to roof, he knew that the man in orange and blue had strange powers and he was ready for anything. Goku was unaffected by the smoke and immediately started chasing after the joker. He did not tire of the chase, he actually started to enjoy it. The joker on the other hand was quickly tiring, he can't continue, I have to escape and reccoperate. "Joker, get back here immediately," goku shouted at the top of his lungs. The joker ignored him and continued running, I must escape, I must escape, I must escape. These thoughts ran through the mind of this crazed man. Goku, fed up with the chase took a leap and grabbed the joker by the hair and yanked him back, ramming his knee into his back. All that could be heard was a loud snap of the spine and blood pouring out the open wound. The joker let out a guttural scream of pain. "I hate you," the joker choked out before blacking out due to blood loss.
…
In the blackness of the gap between universes the dark being who was overseeing events was slightly surprised at the ease of which the strong man put away the joker. But he had a lot more power than that. He was in a suppressed state. The pawns could fight it out, while feeding him power in the process. No one can stand up to this dark and unforgiving being. "All of you, everyone, in existence, will die, and I will make a new existence, in, my, image," the dark figure said in a whisper, a slow speech that would strike fear into anyone. The malevolent being cackled uncontrollably. "Soon, all shal know there place, in the next world.
The heroes and villains had no idea of these developments. The joker was trying to fight off the pain shooting through his body after that stupid idiot harmed him. Who would dare harm the worlds most awesome genius, he's dum, the joker thought, the dumbest thing anyone has ever scene. Goku was focussed on calming down after his explosive rage, blood was everywhere, superman was shocked to the core, literally, his body was wracked with electricity, pain was still there, as if he was still being held in the vicelike grip of the joker. Goku felt no guilt at what he had done, the man should never have done what he did. The joker finally managed a small smile. "Well done, you've finally managed to harm me, good for you, now, hahahaha, I'm still funny." Goku paid no attention to the futile attempts to defuse the situation. He merely took in deep breaths, trying to control his emotions, the anger was still boiling inside like a pit of lava waiting to overflow. Superman was close to blacking out after a few minutes of trying to should back the pain of being electrocuted for 3 minutes straight no breaks. He held on to the edge of consciousness, his vision black around the edges. Goku was boiling with anger still, but he was starting to succeed in calming down, all though he could snap at any moment.
…
The Saiyan prince came around just after the events of the dc war and goku's intervention. Vegeta had no clue where he was, or why he was exactly where he was lying. The only thing he knew was that idiot cackerott had put him there. He soon noticed that he was embedded in a cliff face, how did he get there. He couldn't have mysteriously have been put there, but he also knew that no one was strong enough to get him stuck there, except cackerott. Memories slowly started to trickle back to the princes brain, the first was being beat up by the low class, the second was being thrown into this cliff, then he blacked out, and now he was where he was, stuck on a cliff, and bleeding profusely. "Damn it, I need to leave here," the prince muttered to himself, he tried to move but pain erupted in his spine and his lower body. "What has he done to me, how has he done this, how," vegeta tried to move again but couldn't muster the effort. He was too weak, he was never weak, why now. He couldn't even sense any energy signatures, was he really this weak and close to death, I won't accept this, ran through his mind. He dug down deep and found new reserves of strength that were previously non existent, he climbed out of the ravine he caused in the cliff face and slowly flew towards the nearest city. He needed rest, he needed a senzu bean, but he didn't want to get them himself. He was almost there when his energy supply suddenly cut and he fell towards the ground, he hit the ground with a hard thud, he felt bones shatter, he felt even more blood spill out of him, I'm going to die in the most pitiful way possible. I can't die like this. Vegeta started to crawl but soon gave in and flopped to the ground.
…
Deathstroke wasn't fairing much better, he woke up to find everybody down and out except for lex luthor, a man in a robotic suit, why he wares the suit, he had no idea. But that suit contained lethal gadgets that could kill or if not kill knock out anyone. Death stroke itching for fight despite his injuries stood up and stumbled towards the armoured tech. {It's your time to die," death stroke said confidently. Luthor paid him no attention, he was focussed on meditation, getting his thoughts into order, prepared for the inevitable battle that was to come once superman and that other orange man were healed. Death stroke, frustrated at being ignored drove his sword down apon luthors head, but the sword just rebounded and slammed into the ground up to it's hilt. "damn it," deathstroke muttered under his breath, "he's good." Deathstroke yanked his sword out of the ground and attempted to behead luthor several times, each time ending in the same result, death stroke would swing, the sword rebounds and gets embedded into the ground. Frustration built with deathstroke and he soon ditched his sword in favour of a high vaultage gun. "Take this," deathstroke aimed with high accuracy and shot rapidly but all bullets just bounced off his suit. Luthor grew tired of the futile attempts to kill him, "resigned to petty gadgets, your predictable and weak, I'm growing tired of you." Luthor then merely lifted his left arm and without any effort shot a short narrow red beam of energy at the swords masters arm. The beam penetrated the armour and contimued through the skin severing every vain every bone and any other things. Deathstroke screamed in pain, his left arm now completely useless. "How dare you, you, you, you've taken my arm, now, what else do you want." Luthor looked at him through his visor with no hint of remorse, "I wanted to shut you up for good, now good bye," luthor let loose a cillinder of gass, and knocked everyone out in the surrounding vercinity. Luthor then took off in the air and started casually flying in no particular direction not caring what happens. He passed over flat desert landscapes with no trees no life or even any water. It was just a desolate landscape with nothing in sight in any direction. Who could possibly live here, luthor thought after yet another hour of pointless flight. This isn't normal. Day6s passed without any change, luthor growing frustrated after every passing minute. His frustration built to such an intensity that he decided to start destroying utterly everything. Energy beams were everywhere as luthor continued in the direction that he had been going. "Screw this," he shouted to the air. The desert landscape, one a peacefull place, was now reverberating with the shockwaves of the beams impacting the ground. Scorch marks scarred the earths surface and would continue to the nearest city and beyond.
