Hello everyone, I am back with another chapter and the first part to the epic finale for ADJ's first Special: Heaven's Shadow. I apologize for the long wait but these past couple of weeks have been kind of rough not just writing but life in general, I will address that in my other stories. I won't get to into it but I was happy to get this out. Admittedly this wasn't one of my favorite chapters and that will be addressed in the last few chapters of AN for this special. But for now I will leave everyone to this first part. Enjoy!

Heaven's Shadow Part Eleven: Finale Part 1

(A Devil's Justice)

The Heroes of Justice stood on one end of the platform with Sofia, Aris, Lero, and her Angelos on the opposite end. Clouds hovered over the night sky, the very mountain shaking from the mere pressure of these forces about to face off. Bayonetta and Ragna eyed Sofia as the Nun glared daggers at the hybrid and witch. Aris snarled and growled at the Amazon, Diana glaring back through her lightning eyes, Ghia'ta standing by her side as were the other girls. Lero glared at the League, the heroes save Superman glaring in return. The army of Proto Angelos standing at the ready.

"...So…..What's the plan, Beloved?" Tala asked, staring over at the hybrid, the Morningstar blade aimed at the three Paladins. Ragna looked back at the group then back at the army, seeing what they were up against. Facing the two individually he knew Aris was the strongest between him and Lero. However, with the whole League and the girls here they definitely have a chance, they defeated Hades this can be a walk in the park.

"My dear Aris…..Lero." Both Paladins looked up at the Nun, Sofia eyes trained on Ragna.

"Deal with the other Sinners, the Son of Sparda is mine."

"As you wish, Milady."

"Understood." Aris growled as he slammed his fist together as Lero conjured three arrows.

"Kid, this ain't no time to go Gunhoe, we need a plan." Green Lantern stated, ring aimed at Lero. Ragna looked over at the space cop before taking a deep breath, nodding his head.

"You're right, GL, so here's what we're gonna do: I'll take on the Nun, you guys handle the army." Ragna said, twirling his blade.

"Are you serious?" Hawkgirl asked.

"That is not very wise, Ragna." Martian Manhunter stated.

"I concur with Manhunter." Aya added.

"She wanted me, she captured all of you because of me, so I'm gonna give her what she wants." Ragna growled, flickers of infernal fire dancing around his body. He needed to face her, he needed to protect everyone.

"Ragna, are you sure?" Ghia'ta asked, placing a hand on Ragna's outstretched arm.

"Don't worry about me, if you should be worried about anyone, it's Superman." Ragna stated, looking over at the pale Man of Steel.

"He needs solar radiation, his body is weakened from the kryptonite." Batman explained, a strange bat device in his hand as he held Superman up on his knees.

"Okay so we have even more on our hands." Flash muttered, stretching out beside Crush.

"Yeah but we got the numbers." Jennifer said, holding up two orbs of fire.

"Technically they outnumber fifty-three to seventeen." Aya corrected.

"Who fucken cares how many there are, we can beat the shit out of them." Crush growled cracking her knuckles.

"I agree, let's show these earthlings a thing or two about Tamaran Power." Blackfire growled, eyes turning purple.

"Agreed Sister." Starfire cheered, the two sisters flying in the air. Sofia scoffed as turned to her small army of Angelos, taking her large cross and aiming it at the group.

"CRUSH THEM!" At that command the Angelos charged, Lero and Aris at the head as the behemoth and archer dashed forward. Ragna held his blade up to block an attack but Diana appeared in a flash of lightning shielding a blow from Aris. Diana looked over at Ragna and nodded her head, giving him the go.

"Split up, I'll handle the Nun you guys the rest!"

"Kid, wait!" But it fell on deaf ears as Ragna jumped over Diana and bounced off several Angelos. Sofia twisted her cross and clashed blades with Ragna's Morningstar, sparks flying as Ragna's momentum knocked them both out of view from the growing army of angelos. Lero fired off three arrows that seeked out its targets. However to his surprise three flat circles of magic appeared taking the blow that would've pierced their targets.

"LETS FUCKING GO!" Crush cheered as she jumped over the Angelo's lung and slammed her fist over its head smashing it.

"Great, I guess we're doing this!" GL stated blocking a strike with his shield. However, to his surprise the angelos head exploded as someone leaned on his shoulder.

"Oh, are you afraid for the Little Devil will get hurt?" GL glared up at the smirking witch.

"Well don't you worry, I have his back."

"No offense, but I don't really trust the chick who just tried to kill him." GL retorted, shrugging her arm off his shoulder.

"Well you can't stop me regardless, I'll leave these pigeons to you." Bayonetta chuckled as she turned to go after Ragna, only for a hand to grab her shoulder. Expecting the lantern she turned around only to be surprised by Ghia'ta. The Sapphire Princess stared up at the Umbran Witch, even as the likes of Manhunter punched an angelo and Hawkgirl slammed one's head in.

"I…..I don't fully trust you." Ghia'ta admitted, a small glare in her eyes, Bayonetta cocking an eyebrow up in amusement.

"But…..But I need you to protect Ragna, can you do that?" Bayonetta turned and faced Ghia'ta, surprising the alien princess as she lifted her gun and fired a round, killing an angelo behind the princess. She twirled the gun and flicked Ghia'tas' nose with the handle of her pistol.

"Don't you worry, little one, I'll make sure that Little Devil stays out of trouble." With that the Umbran Witch launched herself into the air barreling through her enemies, jumping and hopping after the Son of Sparda. Red and white danced across the sky, Sofia swinging her cross with grace as if it was as light as a feather. Ragna's blade danced with flames around him, clashing with the holy steel, shockwaves shaking the sky above.

"Ya know when I took down the last guys operations, I'd thought I wouldn't be seeing ya soon!" Ragna growled, his blade sparking against her cross.

"You think Magnus represents us? Magnus was nothing but a nuisance: A failure to the Order. But where he failed, I will succeed."

"I mean you say that, but Magnus actually captured me, and you needed help to try and take me down." Ragna retorted, enjoying the Nun's eye twitching in rage before she pushed him away and twisted her cross, disappearing in a flash of light and behind Ragna with her cross held high. However, her blade was blocked by a heel infused with dark energy, turning to see Bayonetta smirking at her before she was kicked across the platform.

"Hope you don't mind but I'm crashing this dance, I think you make my Little Devil uncomfortable." Bayonetta chuckled, twirling and aiming her handguns at the Nun.

"You know I can handle this." Ragna said as he twirled his blade and aimed it at Sofia.

"Oh I am sure, Little Devil, but it takes two to tango." Bayonetta said, smiling down at the smaller hybrid, who offered her a small smirk and rolled his eyes. Sofia stared at the two, pulling her cross out of the ground and aiming it at the Son of Sparda and Umbran Witch.

"This matters not to me: Son of Sparda, Umbran Witch, both of you will die tonight!" Sofia roared, charging at the two with inhuman speed, the three clashing afar from the rest.

Back with the others, the League and Girls were fighting on all sides, flying and blasting through the Proto Angelos and trying to avoid attacks from Aris and Lero. Said archer fired several arrows that zipped across the battlefield, Crush cursing as she ran away from one while Jennifer formed a dorm around herself, blocking an attack as it exploded in golden light. Ghia'ta shot down one arrow while flying high above Aris' reach. Hawkgirl let out a battle cry as she swung her mace at the golden plated Paladin, hearing metal scrape against metal rang in her ears.

Aris roared as he swung down on the winged heroine, only for something elastic to wrap around his arm stopping it in its tracks. Martian Manhunter enlarged his fist and slammed it into Aris' face, blood splattering the behemoth's chin but it did little to slow him down as he slammed Manhunter onto the ground. Aya fired bolts at Aris' back, before ducking under a lunge from the Angelos only for it to be speared by a halberd of darkness made from Tala. Starfire shot forward lunging at Lero but the archer merely disappeared in a flash of golden light, only to duck at the last second as Blackfire appeared swinging her fists at rapid succession nearly catching Lero off guard but he quickly grabbed her wrists and kneed her in the gut. Taking a golden arrow he prepared to plunge it into her heart only for it to disappear from his hand.

"Think ya dropped something, Cupid!" Flash teased as he threw the arrow far from the mountaintop, only to gawk as it turned around and hurled itself right back towards him. Flash instantly bolted away at super speed, zig-zagging through several Angelos who were not fast enough to dodge the straight shot arrow, the golden light piercing the angelos and obliterating them and exploding from the contact. Flash stopped for a second, muttering that almost got his butt, looking up to see Lero with a strange blade of golden light in hand inches from his face, but at the last second a green shield appeared between him and Lero. Green Lantern grunted as he pushed Lero away and formed a gatling gun, firing several shots that razed through the angelos while Lero dodged them all.

Batman ducked and jumped over any attack from three angelos, pulling out three batarangs and hurling them at the automaton creatures, effectively blocking their vision as he ran back over to the barely conscious Superman, while Donna took his place and lunged a sword through one of the angelos chest and pulled it into another ones. She held her shield up to block a strike, but in a flash of lightning several angelos around her were completely destroyed. She looked up to see her sister floating in the air with lightning arcs across her arms and eyes.

"Sister." Diana did not respond to her sister, her attention entirely on the battle before her as she saw at least over three dozen more Angelos still alive, but her real focus was on Aris. The behemoth had grabbed Hawkgirl and slammed her into the ground, using Manhunter as a weapon before he shape shifted into an alien-like creature fighting the Paladin. Aris growled as someone jumped on his back, Crush laughing as she began punching his cheek repeatedly letting out every single earthly curse there was.

"Take that you fucken gorilla!" Crush roared as she slammed her fists into Aris ears, the behemoth growling before grabbing Crush's head and tossing her onto the ground on top of Hawkgirl. He prepared to crush them only for a blow to knock him back, looking back to see Wonder Woman glaring at him with lightning in his eyes. The two glared the other down, knowing that their fight was far from over, and were ready to finish this. Aris huffed as he reached into the side of his ripped pants, pulling out and revealing his golden cross. Diana watched as he slammed it onto his shoulder and let out a vicious roar. Several of the strong heroes watched as Aris body began to grow in size, his muscles bulging past the human limit. He now stood several feet taller than everyone around him.

(Aris: BEHEMOTH Mode)

"Holy shit." Crush muttered as Diana took a step in front of them, cracking her knuckles. Aris threw a punch, the Amazon lifting her arm to take the blow, the force sent out an air cannon that shot a hole through the side of a smaller mountain nearby. Diana growled as she pulled her fist back and slammed it into his over large knuckle, a sudden hole in the clouds above appeared from the punch.

"FRICKIN CHRIST!" Tala exclaimed as they were nearly blown away from the powerful punch.

"RRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Both Amazon and Behemoth traded blows, Diana disappearing in a flash of lightning and slamming into Aris stomach, knocking him on his back. Aris slapped Diana away as he stood back up, only to feel someone slam into his arm, looking down to see Starfire and Blackfire punching his right arm. He swatted them away but they were easily caught by Diana, the Amazon setting the sisters down and dashing towards Aris who was already swinging his fist. Diana easily flew under it and slammed his fists into Aris gut, flying right at the same second above his head and slamming her boots into his back slamming him back onto the ground.

"That was awesome, Earthling Diana." Kori cheered, while Blackfire scoffed and looked away as Diana flew off of Aris. Only for the Behemoth to lunge forward and tackle the two Tamaraneans, hurling them at the Amazon. She easily caught the two with lightning dancing across her body, only for Aris to take her moment of heroism to catch her by surprise and jump into the air, gripping Diana with both hands and hurling her to the ground and slamming on her back.

"Get off of her!" Hawkgirl roared, swinging her mace across Aris leg. Meanwhile, Lero disappeared in a flash of gold avoiding a green rocket from GL's bazooka. He formed three arrows and fired in rapid succession, only for each to disappear in an orange portal courtesy of Jennifer as she swirled her hands in different signs, forming several behind Lero as the golden arrows flew right out of them. The Paladin Archer disappeared once more as he formed a golden clone that quickly dashed around them and fired several arrows, only for some to be blasted by green bolts courtesy of Aya. Ghia'ta formed a pink shield and stood in front of Batman and Superman taking the blast of an arrow.

"DARKRAVA!" Tala conjured several hounds of darkness and sic em on the golden clone, who fired several arrows. However, the dark hounds easily took the arrows and still tackled the clone, the arrows exploding at the same time destroying the hounds and clone. Tala smirked in victory before someone jumped behind her blocking a strike from one of the angelos.

"Keep your guard up, Concubine." Donna sneered at Tala and pushed Angelo away before charging at a group while Tala huffed.

"You make it sound like thats a bad thing." Tala muttered as she lifted her finger and fired a beam of dark magic, piercing through two angelos skulls. Flash dashed around the battlefield, many of the movements were in slow motion, he even stopped to poke an arrow but let out a little yelp as it was a bit hot. Though he noticed two angelos charging behind Batman who had two batarangs ready. With an idea popping in his head he quickly ran over and grabbed the two winged automatons and pulled them right in front of the arrows intended for Aya. With a small bow he disappeared as the arrows pierced the angelos and exploded.

Aya flew into the air as two angelos chased after her, the energized robot firing off several bolts that blow off limbs from the angelos, but they continued to give chase. She flew back towards the ground between the crossfire between Lero and the heroes as the angelos followed, but unlike Aya they did not avoid bolts of dark magic and golden arrows, being torn apart.

"Perhaps if you surrender, Heroes, Sofia will be merciful in her repentance." Lero offered, ducking under a blast rom GL's ring.

"Sorry, but from my experience in those iron maidens, I don't think your boss and I have the same idea of mercy." GL retorted as he flew out of the strike from Lero's golden blade.

"Then be cleansed in Heaven's Holy Light." Lero declared, firing off several arrows as GL formed a shield.

"This isn't getting out of hand, if we don't take him out soon I'm gonna be out of juice." John muttered, grunting as someone reappeared behind him, Flash smirking as he clapped his back.

"Got any ideas, GL? I'm open for suggestions."

"If I can get a clear shot at him, I'm sure we can take him out, but he moves around the battlefield." Green Lantern stated.

"Want him to stop moving, The others and I got you covered then." Flash offered, patting John's back, disappearing in a red flash and leaving the confused lantern as Flash ran across the battlefield. He reappeared behind Jennifer and tapped her shoulder, whispering into her ear for a few seconds before disappearing again. He hopped across several Angelo in the air and grabbed Aya's shoulder, whispering into…whatever she had inside her helmet. He dashed back to the ground behind Tala and did the same thing before ending it with Donna. Every single one of them nodded in union not realizing it had all happened within a single second.

"And what do you think you're planning, Sinner?" Lero growled reappearing behind Flash who smirked deviously.

"Just try and keep up Slowpoke." Flash gave the Paladin a peace sign before running away, but Lero was quick to give chase, teleporting and dashing right after Flash just a few steps behind. Lero jumped in the nick of time as Donna hurled her shield, but the Paladin easily jumped over and kept chasing after the speedster knowing full well he would have to take this one down to stop whatever it was he was planning. He easily jumped over Aya's bolts and lunged at the speedster only for Flash to turn just as a dark wall of magic appeared. Lero grunted as he slammed into it. He shook his head before chasing after the happy speedster who waved at him before chasing him down, walls of dark energy forming on his left side but he had no care, even using on to boost his speed but Flash just kept running and turning.

Jennifer formed several light disks and hurled them at Lero but the archer teleported right through them, firing several arrows at the druid sorceress, but by Donna's amazonian training she blocked the arrows with her shield but the explosion pushed them back a bit. Flash looked back as Lero fired more arrows that seeked him out, the speedster now trying to outrun the arrows and the chasing Paladin. Flash smirked as Lero fired several arrows, the golden energy shots chasing after him along with the Paladin. As he kept running more walls appeared around them, confusing Lero…..before it all clicked into place.

"No…."

"Did ya catch on?" With that Flash stopped in his tracks despite the arrows heading straight towards him. However several portals appeared, sucking the arrows in, disappearing right after. To Lero's annoyance Aya flew down and grabbed Flash and flew back into the air, leaving Lero back on the ground. The Paladin attempted to teleport out but a shield slammed into his back knocking him on the ground. The dark walls disappeared, Tala giving a coy wink as Lero pulled himself back on his feet. However, several portals appeared behind him, and to Lero's shock his golden arrows shot out piercing the ground around him. The Paladin looked up to see Green Lantern constructing a large alien cannon aimed directly at him, the archer not wanting to give him a chance tried to run but felt his feet held in place. Looking down his eyes widened to see dark tendrils holding him in place, just as GL fired the cannon.

BOOM

(A Devil's Justice)

"GRAH!" Moments earlier, Aris roared as Diana held his fists up, protecting Ghia'ta and her shield around Batman and Superman. Ghia'ta looked up at Diana, seeing her body began to show fatigue, her strange state of power seemed almost invincible, but now it seemed the lightning began to fade around her body. The others joined in fighting the behemoth but it seemed his stamina had been boosted by that strange cross. They needed to stop this behemoth and help Ragna in his fight with the psycho nun. They needed ideas, and luckily for her the world's greatest detective was right here to help.

"Batman, uh, any ideas on how to beat this guy?!" Ghia'ta cried out as Diana slammed into her shield, the Sapphire making her construct form gauntlets and push back against Aris.

"Superman, we need Superman, but he is in critical condition." Batman explained, revealing the green veins spread across the Man of Steel's body. Ghia'ta figured whatever that Kryptonite was, it had weakened the superhero.

"However, if we can bring him up and in the sky and towards the sun, it should be able to heal him with its solar rays." Batman finished as the shield around them shook. Looking at the others heroes, they were all busy trying to dogpile Aris, that none of them would have time to help him. She was their only option, and she will gladly take this task if it meant saving everyone.

"Help the others hold off Aris, I'll help Superman." Ghia'ta offered, the Dark Knight stared at her for a few seconds before nodding and pulled out three batarangs. Ghia'ta made the shield disappear as she grabbed Superman by his shoulder. Albeit he was quite heavy but with some extra padding constructs on her arms she flew high up into the sky. She however heard several wings flapping behind her, turning around to see several Angelos flying after her as they flew past the clouds and into the night sky.

She flew as high and far as she could, and thanks to being far from Earth's gravity she wasn't as restricted and so began to gain more speed as she flew through the stratosphere. The Angelos had no trouble as they gained ground after her. Ghia'tas fear turned into hope as the Sun slowly rose over the horizon, the Sapphire Princess cheering before she cried out in pain as something slashed at her back. The Angelo grabbed her leg and pulled her back, letting the Man of Steel float hopelessly above Earth's orbit with the Sun slowly shining on him. Ghia'ta formed shields and blocked a strike to her heart, pushing one off before another bashed its shield against her. She formed a scimitar winging at one, clipping its wing, but the strange creatures continued their assault.

"Now, I think thats enough."

(A Devil's Justice)

Aris pulled Martian Manhunter and slammed him to the ground, stomping him with his boot only for the Martian to phase through his attack and slip out while Crush tackled his leg and began biting it. Starfire and Blackfire flew around Aris trying to confuse him, while Hawkgirl swooped in and slammed her mace into his knee. Aris snarled and pulled his hands back before clapping releasing a shockwave that sent everyone but Diana flying, the Amazon grabbing Crush and Batman by their arms and setting them back down before charging. Aris lifted his fists and slammed them down, but Wonder Woman caught them only for the ground to break below her. The slip of her feet and the ground breaking apart caught Diana by surprise and gave Aris the advantage of slamming his knee into her chin and slamming her to the ground. Diana groaned in pain as Aris stood above her, pulling his fist back to try and end this fight.

FWOOM

"I think I've had enough of you." Imagine everyone's surprise and happiness seeing the Man of Steel himself, back in his prime and standing firmly holding back Aris fist with one punch. Ghia'ta joined the others, leaving behind the destroyed Angelos in space, as Superman turned to Diana and held his hand out.

"Let's end this, together, Wonder Woman." Diana, her powers seemingly keeping her voice from unleashing untold wrath, simply smirked and nodded, taking his hand. The both shot forward slamming their fists into Aris face, blasting him to the sky. Superman and Wonder Woman flew into the sky leaving sonic booms behind them, slamming their boot and fist into Aris cheek and stomach. Superman rammed his fist into Aris' chest with his full strength that shook the mountain around them and sent Aris flying. The golden behemoth's massive frame made him strong, but his speed was lacking and because he was in the air he had no control.

Superman and Wonder Woman blitzed around Aris at inhuman speed, punching and kicking him across the sky, unrestrained and able to go at full power. Aris tried so hard to throw a fist but it either missed or was caught by one of the two, and because he had given Sofia the kryptonite to keep in the Man of Steel's iron maiden he had lost that leverage. He was now at the mercy of the two most strongest heroes in the Justice League. Superman fired heat vision from his eyes blasting Aris into the sky, the powerful rays burned off the cross on his shoulder that gave him the muscle boost as Aris flew high into the sky. Superman and Wonder Woman flew past the behemoth and pulled their fists back, letting out a battle cry before delivering the same haymakers that would send Hades flying.

BA-BOOM

A small hole dug into the mountain and nearly cracked it in half had it not been all focused on Aris, the behemoth's golden form disappearing as he laid on the ground unable to get back up. At the same time, Lero had taken a full powered cannon to the face, his clothes scorched and his body in pain before he collapsed. The Justice League and the Girls landed back on the ground standing side by side, victorious.

"...Aw dang it, I'm trying to think of a great quip about catholics." Flash joked, rubbing his chin.

"Really? Now?" Green Lantern asked with a groan.

"Oh, oh, how about: Catholic Justice has been served, Friend Flash." Starfire offered, beaming up at the speedster.

"...Could be a work in progress and that would mainly be shot at us and not them since they are catholic…I think." Flash muttered, Superman chuckling.

"NNNOOOOO!" Everyone turned around as golden light appeared in the sky, looking up to see Ragna and Bayonetta standing on a golden platform as a large halo appeared around Sofia.

"THIS ENDS NOW!"

(A Devil's Justice)

And we have concluded the first part to the finale, which I couldn't properly have a cool name for this chapter so I just stuck with Finale. We got roughly two...MAYBE three more chapters of his finale and I am more excited for the next one cause it focuses on Ragna and Bayonetta tag-team. Onto a bit of scaling: Lero is at the same level of strength to Base Magnus but is the weakest compared to Sofia and Aris however he is the fastest since he doesn't need to enter Lumen Sage to access Light Speed (Which is a my story only thing I'm pretty sure Balder can use Light Speed anytime in Bayo 2 when you can play as him). Aris is Wonder Woman level strength but in his golden form he is a bit stronger and around Superman's speed but in his 'Behemoth' mode he is relative to Restricted Hades but Hades is still the overall strongest character introduced next to Bayonetta...until next chapter lol. Behemoth Mode isn't actually a mode it's just a strength boost I made based on Cell's 'Powerhouse' Mode near the end of the Cell Saga before Gohan made him spit out 18. I also based it around PS4 exclusive game Broforce character titles cause I love that game. My main gripe with this chapter was...the number of people I have in it which is something I knew for a while and I'm gonna work on. It's easier in my full stories cause those have way more space and are usually not four thousand words. Regardless I am glad to get this out and can now focus on other stories and try and get this finished soon. Now we reach the penultimate fight: Ragna and Bayonetta vs Sofia! It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!

Zer0the0mega108 out!
