Hello everyone.

Now the centipede is even more powerful.

Now for the reviews.

beninator5: No it isn't.

TheBlazzore: Mainly because she was so shocked at seeing Laird get eaten it didn't cross her mind.

DragonEmperor999: I know right. And yeah, being eaten by a centipede is not a good way to go.

Lets get to it.


The heroes looked in disbelief at how massive the centipede is now.

"Uh, any idea how we beat him now?" The Burner asked.

"Not really." High Card admitted.

The centipede grabbed several cars with its tentacles, and threw them all toward the heroes. The Barrier immediately put up a force field around them, protecting them.

"I think me, Wonder Gal, Superboy, Supergirl, Sungirl, Sunboy, Strong Suit, Muscles, The Boulder, The Burner, The Freezer, and Eight Of Spades have the best chance against that beast." Wonder Woman said.

"You're right, Wonder Woman." Superboy said. "High Card, should we go ahead with Wonder Woman's plan?"

"I guess." High Card answered. "All of you be careful, especially you Superboy."

"We will." Superboy said.

He then hugged his big sister, which she returned. After the hug, the powerhouses all charged at the monstrous arthropod.

The centipede immediately attacked them with his spike tipped tentacles. Luckily, Wonder Gal and Wonder Woman were masters with their swords. They managed to fend off one tentacle each with no problems.

Eight Of Spades magically conjured up a spiked mace. The third spiked tentacle was attacking her. Luckily, she was able to hold her own thanks to the mace.

The Freezer took on the fourth tentacle. The Freezer created an ice sword and managed to hold her own against the tentacle.

While those four taking care of the tentacles, Superboy, Sungirl, Supergirl, and Sunboy were all fighting off one arm each. The centipede's punches were a match for the four eleven year old heroes punches. The monstrous arthropod seemed to be just as strong as Superboy, maybe even a little stronger. But thanks to the teamwork, they were able to hold their own.

With the four most powerful members of the team fighting off the arms, along with the four other powerhouses fighting off the tentacles, this meant that the remaining four powerhouses, Strong Suit, Muscles, The Boulder, and The Burner were now open to attack. The Burner used several flaming punches along the right side of the centipede, while the boulder landed huge punches to the left side. Meanwhile, Strong Suit and Muscles climbed up the vertical segments from behind until they reached his head.

Once they reached hie head, they saw the power stone embedded in his head had grown with him. They then walked over to one side of his head each, Strong Suit on the left, Muscles on the right. They then lied down on their stomachs at the edge so they could see its eyes. They then started punching its eyes.

The centipede roared and tried shaking his head to try to get the two of them off, but they managed to hang on and keep attacking.


The rest of the team was watching all of this in concern. Card Counter realized something.

"High Card, it would be of best interest if we evacuated all the citizens of Great Lakes City." She advised.

"You're right, Card Counter." High Card replied. "Sorcerer, can you teleport all of the citizens here? And have them floating?"

"You've got it." The Sorcerer replied.

He then teleported all the citizens to that area, and as requested, had them hovering in the air.

The citizens all were fearful seeing this massive centipede. Although, they felt a little at ease seeing the powerhouses of the team fighting it off.

"LISTEN UP EVERYONE!" High Card announced, silencing everyone. "It is literally not safe for you all to be in this city at the moment! The Sorcerer will be evacuating you all to New York City, specifically Times Square!"

The citizens all agreed to this. Once they all agreed, The Sorcerer teleported them all to Times Square.

"Ok High Card, everyone's safe in Times Square." He reported.

"Good." High Card said.

Everyone then turned their attention back to the ongoing battle.

"Looks like they're trying to overwhelm him." Sonic Boom said.

"There must be something we can do." Night Club said.

Queen Of Diamonds then realized something.

"Wait a minute, thats it!" She exclaimed. "Royal Flush, that thing is an animal, and you can communicate with animals. Maybe you could tame that beast."

Royal Flush's eyes went wide in revelation.

"Of course!" She said. "Being that guy get eaten must have made it slip my mind that maybe I can tame him. I was able to get Fenrir on our side, maybe I can do the same with this thing."

"I can fly you there, mate." Lightning offered.

"Awesome!" Royal Flush cheered.

Lightning then picked up The Royal Flush, and flew her towards the centipede. They made it there in no time.

"Take me to the top of its head." Royal Flush requested.

"Got it, mate." Lightning replied.

She then descended toward the centipede's head, and set the six year old hero down.

"Be careful." Lightning warned.

"I will." Royal Flush assured.

Lightning then flew above the centipede's head. She wanted to be there on standby in case something went wrong.

Strong Suit and Muscles were still hammering away on the eyes, when they spotted The Royal Flush out of the corner of their eyes.

"ROYAL FLUSH? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Strong Suit demanded.

"IT'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR YOU TO BE HERE!" Muscles warned.

"I don't care." Royal Flush replied. "And I'm here to tame this big guy."

Royal Flush then started rubbing the top of its head.

"EASY BOY!" She said. "Easy there, just calm down."

The centipede's aggression started to simmer out. His attacks became slower.

"That's right, boy." Royal Flush assured. "I'm a friend. Just relax, I'm not gonna hurt you."

Finally, the centipede stopped attacking the powerhouses. He then let out a soft growl.

"It's ok, bud." Royal Flush soothed rubbing his head with both hands.

The centipede then bowed his head in shame a little. He then softly growled again.

"It's not your fault." Royal Flush assured. "Our enemy, The Slicer, did this to you."

All the powerhouses were shocked seeing Royal Flush tame this beast. But at the same time, they were relieved that she was able to tame him.

"If you want, you can be an ally of us." Royal Flush offered.

The centipede nodded and growled.

"Awesome." Royal Flush exclaimed. "It's good to have you on our side, big guy."

The centipede then growled a few times.

"Strong Suit, Muscles, he says he's gonna get us all down from here." Royal Flush translated.

"How?" Muscles asked.

She then got her answer as three tentacles grabbed one of them each. The centipede then set them down on the ground.

"Thanks, big guy." Royal Flush said.

The centipede nodded and growled.

Eight Of Spades then teleported the other heroes there.

The centipede growled a few times.

"He want's to know who were all are." Royal Flush translated.

All the heroes then introduced themselves one by one. Soon, introductions were out of the way. The centipede growled.

"He says 'it's nice to meet you all'." Royal Flush translated. She then turned back to the arthropod. "What's your name."

The centipede then bowed his head and gave a soft growl.

"You don't have a name?" Royal Flush asked.

The centipede shook his head.

"Well if you want, I could give you a name." Royal Flush offered.

The centipede nodded.

"How about, Dale." Royal Flush asked.

The centipede nodded and growled softly.

"Awesome, your name is now Dale." Royal Flush said.

A roar was heard from overhead. Everyone looked up and saw it was Fenrir. He then landed between Dale and the heroes.

"Hey Fenrir." Royal Flush greeted.

Fenrir growled softly and nodded his head at her to greet her.

"What brings you here?" Royal Flush asked.

Fenrir growled a few times.

"He said 'since Dale is now our ally, he want to take him to his home'." Royal Flush translated. "Is that ok, Dale?"

Dale nodded.

"Great." Royal Flush exclaimed. "It's great to have you two as our allies."

Fenrir and Dale then nodded their heads in agreement.

Fenrir then grabbed one of Dale's hands, and he flew them both away to his home.

"Good job, Royal Flush." Superboy said hugging her. "Thanks to you, we have another powerful ally."

"Thanks, big brother." Royal Flush replied.

"Well now we know, if any giant animal attacks again, you can tame it with no problem." Superboy said.

"Looks like it." Royal Flush replied.

"And that means we have another ally to help us when the time comes to fight Darkseid." Sungirl said.

"Yeah, no doubt Darkseid will be even stronger than Dale." Superboy said. "We already know that he's stronger than me. But with all of us working together, along with help from Fenrir and Dale, we can win."

"YEAH!" the heroes all cheered.

Suddenly, The Slicer appeared in front of them on his throne."

"YOU, LANA LOUD!" The Slicer growled pointing at her. "YOU'VE RUINED MY PLAN AGAIN!"

"Of course I did, Slicer!" Royal Flush replied. "I can communicate with animals, something you can't do."

"Looks like I will have to finish all of you off myself." The Slicer said.

"You do remember that we are now much more powerful then the last time we fought, and that we have more members of the team, right?" Superboy asked.

"I am well aware of that, alien." The Slicer growled. "That's why I have this."

The Slicer then held out a power stone. He then took of his helmet, revealing a horrendously scarred right side of his face, and that he was bald.

"Man, you look so gross." Queen Of Diamonds said.

The Slicer ignored her and put the power stone on his forehead. It then embedded herself in his forehead. He then put his helmet back on.

"Yes, I can feel the power." The Slicer said.

An orange aura started glowing around both The Slicer, and his throne. The Slicer then let out a yell of power as he was engulfed by an orange light. The heroes shielded their eyes. When the light was gone, the heroes all saw something terrifying.

The Slicer had now grown to eight feet tall. He had two black horns protruding from the top of his helmet. He had black eyes with orange pupils. He was also even more well built. His armor and helmet had also grown with him. Not only that, but his armor and helmet had also become alot stronger. Also, his throne grew with him.

The Slicer gave them all a look of pure malice.

"Now I will destroy all of you myself!" He proclaimed.


Lana has tamed Dale, but now The Slicer has powered up. Now the heroes will have to fight him.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. As usual please tell me what you think.
