Ruins
Failure
Depletion
Humiliation
Nothing more than pure pity was shown upon him as his life flashed before his eyes in a blinding fury
His world…gone….in a single snap
Grill, Anti Monitor, Darkseid…Mobius All stronger than him ?
Him
Him !
HIM !
ULTRAMAN !
Snapping his eyes open Immediately the great Kryptonian swung his fist around in a blind furry awaking himself
"AHH !"
Kal-II for once in his life was confused ?
Confufused on where he was as he laid on the rubbled and ashed ground of this broken world…..wherever that was ?
With a quick groan and shake of his head Ultraman began Looking around his area finding himself in a shocked expression as not even a feet away from him laid his non associates his allies
The same allies he thought were dead
The same allies that watched him die ?
"Lois ? Thomas ?"
Soon enough the words he spoke seemed to have triggered something as faint grogging and groans escaped their lips surprising Ultraman even more signaling they were in fact alive
Superwoman had placed her hand on her head slowly getting up as she shook her head
"What the hell ?" she said Ultimately surprised by the fact that she was alive
Wait ?
She…..was alive ?
A faint pause sprung in the air as her hands began to shake the small and slow realization hitting her like a brick as everyone else had began to come to their senses
Thomas was faster than the others him missing his cowl with his face being revealed
Just like his superiors he found himself also confused with the fact that he was alive. But more so with the fact that everyone else was too as the more he looked around the more of his associates he saw more alive than dead ?
Ultraman died to Mobius on Earth Prime
Superwoman died shortly after she gave birth to Mazahs's child ?
Mazahs himself was alive even after the earth prime counterpart had happened to kill him ?
Same goes for Johnny Quick, Grid, Atomica, Deathstorm
Everyone's alive ? but how ?
"AHHHH !"
The sudden female scream had caught everyone's given attention as the surprised expression of Superwoman's blunt face brought everyone up to speed
"Earth Prime…..Grill…..Darkseid…..my baby…..gone….all of it…"
Mazahs himself had gotten to his feet more sore confused by it all but nonetheless his love was on his mind
"Lois ?...what's wrong" he began kneeling down to her side and touching her stomach
Weak sobs and cries escaped the Amazon's lips as she took in Mazahs embrace
A sudden feeling of anger filled within Ultraman's body as his hands clenched tightly. He growled in blind rage as he had remembered it all
Mazahs's reign, Superwoman's betray
She called him weak, inferior, as if Mazahs was better than him, STRONGER THAN HIM !
Before Ultraman could react on his blind rage a hand placed on his shoulder making him turn around
It was Thomas who just shook his head
"It's not worth it, not now, not yet" he said
But his sympathy only angered Ultraman even more as he just flicked his hand of his shoulder before snapping back to Mazahs, his eyes glowing a deep shade of crimson red
"LUTHOR !" Ultraman shouted with all the anger within his body
Alexander Luthor looked up to see Ultraman's return a smirk dwelled on his face as he just shook his head and chuckled
"Ultraman, I recommend you don't make this mistake again. You've been given a second chance at life. Don't waste it. Now if you mind I must attend to my love"
Kal-II's fist clenched in anger
His love
HIS LOVE !
EVERYTHING HE DID HE DID FOR LOIS ! POWER STRENGTH HIS WORLD WAS FOR HER !
AND YET LUTHOR WAS THE ONE TO IMPREGNATE HER !
Immediately with a rage of blinding bury Ultraman charged at Mazahs a sonic boom erupted as the two men had quickly flown from below into the sky above
"Already back from the dead and these two are fighting…great" Johnny Quick said with an eye roll
Rising to her feet Superwoman found this as nothing more than pure entertainment as she couldn't help but laugh at it all
"What's your game Lois" Owlman said as he came to her side
Lighting struck from above the clouds indicating who was winning only adding on to Superwoman's smirk
"You know me best Thomas. I'm a simple woman. I want what every woman wants. Power, Strength, Money, but most importantly I want a strong man to lift me off my feet, giving me the safe and secure feeling every woman wants"
"So you use the power of Ultraman to get it"
Turning her head to face the Billionaire Superwoman just rolled her eyes
"Ironic coming from you, you of all people should know a plan works even if you have to break a couple of eggs"
"But this isn't a plan"
Soon enough a final thunder strike shot into the air as with a loud thud hailing down from the sky came Ultraman and Mazahs. One more so hurt than the other as with a weak groan Mazahs held Ultraman's face to the ground pinning him with a smirk
"It's pure destruction"
"I told you not to mess with me" Mazahs said Ultraman struggled to get up but Mazahs kept him pinned to the floor like a weak puppy trying to get up
Nothing but pure humiliation filled Ultraman's body from head to toe as this….this was what he was reduced too
He was no longer the strongest anymore his powers have failed him and that….that hurt more than any punch or kick could
"Alexander enough" Superwoman commanded
With a groan of laughter Mazahs let go of Ultraman giving him the chance to get up
Grid and Deathstorm both had rushed over to help their team leader but Ultramam just whisked his arms away in furry telling them to go away
Truly Ultraman's never felt more embarrassed in his life
He wasn't the strongest anymore
His home world was gone
And the love of his life no longer believed in him
He truly was useless
But before Ultraman could think more of it a small fleet of Kroloteans began to appear around the Individuals
All small green aliens some with small coats other's wil devices but all had small speakers around their throats and the most interested in the Super Powered beings all with smiles on their faces
"Your Alive, YOU'RE ALIVE TRULY ALIVE !"
Each Member of the Crime Syndicate looked at one another in nothing but confusion but that didn't stop the Kroloteans from cheering and parading of their heroes return
"They do know who we are right ?" Johnny quick whispered to Atomica
"If they did they would be running in fear so let's play their little game"
Now coming closer to the group the Kroloteans began to invade upon Ultraman a move he took unlikely of as they tried to reach and touch him
"AH ! GET BACK YOU SPECIMENS KNOW YOUR PLACE !"
"Oh we mean no trouble at all Superman"
Right then and there everyone tensed up Especially Ultraman who's knuckles clenched
"What"
"We know what happened to your world. And we are the ever most sorry that the Anti Monitor destroyed it. We all were ashamed to find out the Justice League were destroyed"
"BUT YOUR BACK NOW !" A Kroloteans said
"THE JUSTICE LEAGUE HAS RETURNED HOORAY !"
Again the Kroloteans cheered an uproar as everyone processed this newfound information
"They think I'm Superman….." Ultraman said as he clenched his fist
"I've been belittled that low that Im compared to that weakling…it's….embarrassing"
"We know you all must be tired come, come let us show you around"
Truly they didn't have any other choice so what could they do

The Krooltean home planet was one of science where everywhere you turned you would see light years of scientific improvement. From flying machines to high tech buildings. A planet where the sky looked dark green and the planets were almost non existent
And truth be told no one truly cared for any of it but they had to keep up the look
"When we heard about your return we planned to prepare. It's not like your world but it's a place to live" a Krolotean said as the group of Kroloteans plus the Crime Syndicate continued to walk
"As you can see looking around our home planet we are well developed in technological advancements peaking in science that many different species won't even touch in millennials"
Turning to Ultraman Owlman spoke close
"The Kroloteans think were our Earth Prime counterparts so for the time being let's keep it that way"
"I want revenge it's those Earth prime imbeciles fault that we died in the first place and I won't be satisfied until I see their world smeared in their own blood"
Soon a sudden gust of wind flew by and it was Johnny quick and Atomica who joined the conversation
"Apparently this is Earth 25 light years in space away from Earth not Earth 1" Johnny Quick said
"But I'm sure we can convince one of these smart aliens to make us a gateway to Earth 1. Say we wanna see what's left of our home or whatever" Atomica added
"So then it's settled" Mazahs said as suddenly the whole team joined the conversation
Ultraman much to despite more the fact that Mazahs was speaking as if he lead the team even though he was the one to betray them
"We will ask these Aliens to build us a gateway to Earth Prime. From there we will exact our revenge on our counterparts"
Everyone seemed on board with the plan
And on a fairpoint Ultraman agreed with it too Just one problem
"Who told you to speak out over me ?" Ultraman questioned
"I did" Mazahs spoke back "As I will do for everything else as I am the new team leader"
That news right there made everyone go silent as a blood vessel almost popped in his head
"WHAT !" he shouted
It was so loud all the Kroloteans attention were caught as Mazahs just laughed
"We need a change in management. The Leader of the team needs to be the strongest one and as that is me I will be the Leader of the Crime Syndicate from now on"
Ultraman hated the news with every fiber of his being as his teeth clenched tightly
Of course Superwoman agreed with him only smiling at the chaos that was brewing between the two
All the noise, the tension, The anger the frustration
Ultraman hated it all. All of it
It used to be so simple
He used to be the strongest he used to be the leader HE USED TO HAVE HIS OWN WORLD
With all the new found emotion and looks and murmurs for the first time in forever Ultraman felt his powers all clump together spewing out his head like a firecracker
So he took to the sky blasting off in a sonic boom leaving everyone behind
"We kinda need him if we're gonna fight the League don't you think ?" Atomica stated
Mazahs only stared blankly into the sky and spoke
"No we don't we have me"

Ultraman was too angry to even think right about now, too angry to compute anything. All he felt was a sudden rage within the sky he was flying high above
Closing his eyes to feel anything but anger anything at all he tried really tried
But couldn't as he started to smell
That smell ? that one sniff made him stop in his tracks as he sniffed again
And once that second whiff hit a large grin appeared on his face as he knew what it was something he knew all too well as Immediately he flew fast and far to that all addicting smell not knowing how large he lucked out

In a matter of Time the Crime Syndicate hat the Kroloteans to their knees forcing them all to their will and wishes as they had the entire homeworld of the Krolotean race scattering begging for their mercy
Especially now as with one hand Mazahs held a Krolotean scientist up by by his neck the other begging for his life as he just growled
"You're gonna build us a portal to Earth 1 and you're gonna do it now !"
The small green alien just shook his head before Mazahs only chucked him down to the ground letting the creatures to get to work
With a wicked smile on his face Mazahs turned to Superwoman
"Was that intimidating enough" he sinisterly teased
His comment only made her chuckled before cuffing his face and displaying a passionate kiss to his bearded face
"More than enough"
The two only continued to laugh together darkly ready to display in a passionate kiss again before suddenly Mazahs was whipped out of Superwoman's hands by a large gust of wind
If that didn't catch her and everyone else's attention than the large smoke pile and even bigger crater would've as everyone from the Crime Syndicate to the forced enslaved Kroloteans working saw the sight of Ultraman with pure blood Red eyes and a wicked grin on his face holding Mazahs up in the air by one hand and his mouth keeping his lips closed
"Ultraman ?"
The Kryptonian only sniffled Owlman already knowing why before he brought Mazahs close making him groan as he desperately tried to pry his hands of his face but to no use
"You said you were stronger than me huh, How's that going for you"
Lighting started to erupt from Mazahs's body a desperate attempt to break free from his old but it was no use as he soon threw a punch at Ultraman's Jaw only to learn the man of steel didn't even flinch full force taking the punch
Everyone looked around in wonder questioning how Ultraman got so strong but Superwoman
She didn't care. She was interested in his strength than anything
Letting go of his mouth letting his jaw drop desperately Ultraman only picked Mazahs's up by his collar making him go face to face with him
"Go ahead say it" he threatened and with grit teeth Mazah's screamed
"MAZAH-"
Immediately right there and then Ultraman ripped his entire jaw off with great speed and furry
Everyone gasped in horror even Mazahs Superwoman's smirk only turned to a grin as she licked her lips
But before his cries could echo any longer Ultraman gripped the magical god by his hair an newfound expression within his face
"You thought you were stronger than me" he began as he quickly slammed the rest of what was his face into the ground
Picking him back up his bloody remains continued to stretch out like cheese with the floor as Ultraman continued
"Let me make an example of people who think they're stronger than me" he said before Immediately blasting off
Everyone grew confused on where he was but then suddenly they felt the ground shake before a loud boom and explosion was heard turning their heads all the Kroloteans cried in fear and horror as the saw the sight of Ultraman brining a building down in mass destruction with Mazahs's body taking all the impact head first
The destruction only began as again and again at blind Speed Ultraman drive forth with Mazahs in one hand driving him hard through a many series of walls and buildings into he was nothing more than a lifeless corps within his grapes a shell of a decaying body and flickering lighting bolts
Groaning Ultraman took hold of his skull in one hand
"You were right, The Leader does need to be the strongest" he said before crushing his skull a pint of blood splattering among his hand as his eyes popped out of his head and into the abyss of the planet below
"But unlucky for you Im alive"
Looking down at the world below Ultraman's eyes only flashed red before he continued his chaos
None of the Crime Syndicate has seen him ever act this violent or brutal usually even with his Brutality there were some lines even his ego wouldn't cross but this it was just pure violence
The world around them they once knew to be a highly technological one was nothing more than pure rubble and ash on fire as the planets began to tear itself apart by the flying kryptonian ripping it to shreds piece by piece
A loud boom was heard among the sky as a flashing blur passed by and soon enough a large dust cloud followed
Power Ring had Immediately created a giant bubble around his teammates but enough couldn't be said for the Kroloteans as they just held each other and whimpered as the large cloud of dust and destruction passed by destroying everything in everything
.

Working as fast as they could the Kroloteans soon finished in victory as a portal appeared in the midst of their worlds chaos
"Alright everyone show time" Johnny Quick said before Immediately rushing through the portal
Soon enough Grid, Power Ring, Deathstorm, Atomica and Sea King followed too all entering the portal
Owlman too made his way putting his cowl over his head before turning back
"You two coming ?"
Up in the sky Ultraman smiled as Superwoman placed a kiss on his cheek
"Let's destroy a world shall we"
"Only if you don't take the fun out of it"
With a smile Ultraman dropped the planet sized meteor he was carrying in his hand before him and Superwoman partook in a kiss
"Now come on before I leave you here to die"
With a smirk Superwoman grabbed Ultraman by his collar pulling him inside of the collapsing portal right before the meteor hit leaving the Kroloteans to embrace in a final hug
