Brain Damage

Cajun Strong Man

We had loaded everyone into the QPC and started off to the other earth. We got back to the position where Thundarr and the rest had entered our earth. I removed the control device from where I had it in my utility belt and activated it....

(Barbarian Earth)

[Batman's POV]

….We passed through the portal and landed on what seemed to be a mountain. Hawkgirl flew down and took a look at the mountain and reported that it looked like Mt. Rushmore. When we got there, there was a contingent of blue-skinned Amazons, along with Zatanna waiting for us.

Diona said, "Our spies have told me that Braniac is situated over what used to be a place called Baton Rouge, and is sucking out the technology of the oil drilling and chemical companies.

Superman flew up and tried to get to him but Brainiac had erected a forcefield around himself.

Superman had said, "Brainiac, I am not going to let you try to wreck another earth."

Brainaic answered, "Kal-El, I do not see how you can stop me seeing how you can't get through the forcefield."

He had sent out thousands of clones of himself, for protection.

The both sets of amazons were fighting hard against the clones. I had takthe extra utility belts out and had haded one to the Flash, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, and Diana. I took the rest o the weapons with me and started to fight.

I found myself, like the others were, surrounded by Brainiac clones. I took out a couple of exploding batarangs and through them. They stuck into the clones, beeped for a couple of seconds and then they exploded. They I took some batarags and threw them as well. When they exploded it showered the clones with a special type of foam that when it touch the clones it short circuited them.

I looked over and saw my future mother-in-law, Hippolyta doing what I thought she would be able to do. Diona and her band of Amazons were doing the same thing. The difference was that some of Diona's people had what appeared to be laser guns. Diona, herself, had what appeared to be a version of Aquaman's Trident. When it wasn't being used to skewer the clones, it was firing a bold of magical energy that was taking out several of the feaux-Braniacs, at the same time. Diana was doing her thing and using her god-given gifts. She would throw her Tiara and it would be used to kill a robots at a time. John was using his ring to eliminate hundreds of clones at a time. Ookla was using his bow and what the land provided. He would uproot trees and pick up boulders and use them to crush the bots. Then there was Shayera. She was fighting in the way that we all knew that she would.

Clark called down to the magicians, " Dr. Fate, do you think the you and the others can create a magic cannon able to break through Braniacs forcefield?"

Dr. Fate answered, "I do not say why not."

He, then, cast a spell that brought Ariel, Jason Blood, and Zatanna to him. He explained what Superman wanted and to reoeat after him.

He said, "By the powers of magic, while waving our hands, I command to appear a magic cannon."

What appeared was a world war II-style mega-cannon.

As it turned out, it would take four people to fire the gun. They each magically entered the four contorl pods and activated it.

Dr. Fate telepathically told Superman to 'be ready.'

The ground started to rumble and shake. Then we heard it. The cannon sounded like a jet engine warming up and then it happened. When it fired is sounded like an atomic bomb firing.

When the blasting concluded, there was a big hole in the forcefield that Brainiac had erected. Superman, then, flew through it and started to pummel the robot. Superman flew in an pinned Brainiac to his ship but Brainiac reached around with his tentacles and threw Superman off and into a mountain. No less than a second after that, Brainiac got with a big bolt of magical energy from the super cannon. It weakened him then I threw a few of my assorted batarangs at him. The first won that hit him made the temperature on the outside of his body rise to over one-thousand degrees. The second, lowered it to minus five-hundred degrees. Then, Diana flew up and hit him. After which, Shayera spun around and threw her mace at him. It hit him in the eye. By that time, Superman had rejoined the fight. He flew at supersonic speeds and started to hit Brainiac again.

As Clark and Brainiac were wighting, the clones seem to be weakening.

Finally, it seem the Superman was getting the upper hand.

Kal angrily said, "Brainiac, I will never allow you to destroy Earth, any Earth.

Brainiac robotically replied, "You really do not know exactly how how many alternate Earths, in how many universes, that I have destroyed.'

That, then, pushed Superman over the edge. What happen next was even more scary than what went down when the "other" Superman killed his Lex Luthor."

He then turned to us and gave us a look that scream "It is finished, at least for now."
