Chapter 304: The Band of Brothers that Answer the Call of Duty to Infinite Warfare.
While the last group of those across the Multiverse prepared to do whatever they could to win against impossible odds, there was still those who were not able to fight. And those who were just trying to seek shelter from the wrath of the IV&C were doing all they could to help. After the plan was finalized, Mike went to see how those from the Bethal Kingdom were doing.
Now that it was clear that they were refugees that might never see their home, friends or family again, people were in an even more traumatic state of mind now that the shock was wearing off.
While members of the Alliance tried to comfort the refugees, it was only after seeing Mike and the others did most regain at least a flicker of hope. With his new power, Mike got respect for the fact that he had not gotten his entire life from Die-Hardman and some of the others.
After eating with some of them, Mike prepared to leave. Astra walked in to see that Jerry was trying to cheer up some of the others with a comedy act. Bria's son looked around before he proclaimed," You know I know we only got to talk a while, but I think Superman probably has a very good sense of humor." "
George raised an eyebrow before he shrugged. "I never heard him say anything really funny."
"It's common sense. He's got super strength, super-speed; I'm sure he's got super-humor."
"Either you're born with a sense of humor or you're not. It's not going to change. Even if you go from the red sun of Krypton all the way to the yellow sun of the Earth."
As George made his point, he used the red ketchup bottle and yellow mustard bottle to represent the red and yellow suns. But Jerry just shrugged. "Why? Why would that one area of his mind not be affected by the yellow sun of the Earth?"
"I don't know. But he ain't funny."
"Well he's risking his neck so we can keep being funny am I right?"
As the two siblings kept arguing Astra rolled her eyes." The fate of every world is about to kick off and those two still are arguing over pointless stuff? Much as I ragged yah Mike, those two are so spoiled it's a lost cause."
Mike saw some of the others around his nephews laugh before he shrugged." I think they are just trying to keep everyone distracted with enough B- jokes so that people don't have to think about everything bad. Even a bad joke can do that I guess. I would know, I tried to do that a lot.
Maybe got a few moans more than laughs but hey, did the job right? For most of my life, that was all I thought I could do to help, distract people from the bigger problems by flopping around like a "good clown". Thanks to a lot of sacrifices and lucky breaks I can do more than that now, but I did not forget how it feels when you can't do anything worthwhile."
Astra winced before she nodded." Yah…I guess I can get that. Most of my jokes were the ones made when you're kicking someone's ass. As much as some want it to be otherwise there are the strong and the weak. I think…my dad really hated the weak. But I don't, not if they are not delusional about how they are. It's not wrong for someone weaker to ask someone stronger to help them long as they pay back in anyway they can.
It would be nice if everyone was equal, but that's just not how it works. But, to me being an Equalizer is making sure no matter what that someone is the fist for those who can't throw a punch. A way to equalize nature you know? Still, if we are going to fight the most god damn brutal fight in the entire multiverse what are they going to do?"
"Hide." Bria answered bluntly as she walked up." I talked with, this other Lacus, Xena, Padmé, and some of the others. As the fleet goes to battle, this House of Hope will try and dig as deep as it can in the Bleed.
No universe seems to be safe, even the ones Sieg has not invaded yet will be affected soon. So, we just have to dig down as long as we can and hope the IV&C cannot find us till you stop them. I…feel so powerless now. I may be the queen but there is no Bethal or Lylat government anymore, we are just refugees now."
Tyson cracked his neck before uttering," We still are the leaders of are people Bria, even if it went from millions to dozens it still means something. We got to keep are ways of life and culture and memories alive no matter what universe we end up being in."
Bria saw Jerry, George and their kids were looking at her before she took a deep breath." Sorry…your right Tyson. Survival is all that matters now and…and as horrifying as this all is at least I don't have to fight the people trying to do this. Thank you…for doing what we can't."
Mike smirked before giving her a thumbs up." Hey at least we have a plan now other than run away. No matter how bad the odds are, I'm not just letting Sieg think he can just take everything from us without a fight! And who knows…maybe dad's still out there somewhere."
Bria paused before she thought over the image seen of the Tri-Edge." You…really think that Ben is trapped in some limbo between universe's…trying to free Lacus or something? "
Mike paused before he grasped his fist tightly." Despite how stressed out they got, I know dad never stopped loving mom. He, really would do whatever it took to save her. Guess, we got to do are part to."
Astra smirked before she cracked her neck." Well now that I know you can do more then just be a decoy I am expecting you guys to pull your weight more."
Tyson rolled his eyes before throwing out," And I'm expecting you to follow the plan girl."
"Hey plans just fall apart in the best of days so I won't screw things up but all I can expect, is to change plans."
Mike snickered as he looked down." Well, I had to be flexible enough to work while I thought I was dead so I guess that makes sense. Still, whatever it takes to have a future. Hey Astra…if…no…when we do beat Sieg what do you plan to do next?"
Astra paused before she shrugged and looked at Gorr before she closed her eyes." I don't even know what the universe will be like when this is done dude so how the hell am I supposed to give a solid answer? Long as there is asshole's ass to kick and people to drink with, I know what I'm doing."
Mike chuckled before he looked around." Long as the rules of reality don't completely change, still don't want to give up on the restaurant idea. If you really consider the special moments, you know of your life … I feel like, you know they always happen around food. I think that's why I want to build something around a thing that no matter what you believe in, everyone can share a moment like that compared to politics. And hey, if you need a job no matter what, my restaurant is going to need a bouncer or something."
Astra rolled her eyes before she snickered." Yah I don't think I'm keen on sitting around smacking around anyone wanting to steal overpriced food dude."
"But its not going to be like that. Long as we have a universe, I had an idea to make it kind of like a soup kitchen but…like a classy one eh? Give people that need food real damn good food, and maybe a show to take their mind off things. Yah, it would not really change anything but, it would be a place where people could feel safe and happy."
Astra saw Mike looked determined before she nodded." Don't ever think that just making people happy is not good enough Mike…sometimes that's all that people really need. Hell…I would not mind keeping a place like that safe…at least some of the time. No promises I would want to move around after a while though. Still, a place were you belong does…sound nice. Still, you really think they will want the devil child working in your business?"
"Astra...I'm still counting on us saving something, but I admit whatever is left to save stuff like that is not going to matter anymore...at least I think that's how it will be."
Astra saw Mike was serious before she smirked." Sounds good to me.
Mike saw Astra was serious before his grin widened." Hell if it works out there would be a chain brand sooner or later anyway so sounds good. Thanks for not blowing it off. Maybe after everything that's happened I'm just aiming for anything at all before dreaming bigger.
I don't need to be inspired. I don't need to be impassioned. I don't need to make a new "enlightened" era, I just want to see my friends, and my people having good times over a meal. Maybe its small scale but, again, I seen what shooting to high has done for everyone else so I'm just tired of all the drama from high in the sky dreams you know?
Dad seemed to be fixating on his legacy for life times, and one way or another I can't decide what would fit for him, mom, or any of you. But for me, I think I would want my legacy to be: I kept my chin up. Listened and learned. I did honest work, fun to be around, and an excellent emergency contact."
Bria giggled before following up with a solemn," If nothing else, you never ran away Mike.
As I found up I was the Queen I admit at times I felt like you're watching the fire and you're thinking, 'if I don't do anything…this place will burn down and all my anxiety will go away with it. But, that was disgracing everything Richard and everyone else died for. Right now, Sieg is acting like he's everyone's boss and forcing everyone to obey his whims. We have to create a culture we want, one where we can be happy.
The greatest mistake is working for a bad boss, such that, what it unlocks in you is the culture that you choose to create. So please, please live through this so we can all try and move on."
"Don't worry Bria…I tried dying and I'm not digging it so I'm going to try and avoid it so just do the same ok?"
"It's a promise."
The two siblings hugged each other before Diehardman walked up and nodded."Mike...I have no real authority anymore. I'm just a man asking you to do whatever you can to give us a future. Anything else, can be figured out later."
Bria nodded before responding with," Whatever there is to make a future out of, we will work with."
Astra sighed." Bria…even if it took the total collapse of everything...glad to see you try and grow a little. Just don't collapse the moment things go to hell alright?"
"That's fine, I'm already to hollowed out to get surprised at this point."
"Heh, guess we have that in common now."
Tyson nodded before he heard an alarm." Keep it real Bria, are people need us to hold things together. Let's just see what there is to hold together. C'mon."
The three saw Bria try and keep everyone calm before they ran out. They met up with the others at the House of Hope's hanger bay and saw Ezan, James, Daigo, and the rest of their group with members of the alliance. Ezan nodded as the trio came up." Hope you said everything that needed to be said…this mission as the riskiest odds of completion yet."
"Well…just hope we can keep the streak up just a little bit longer. Still, I admit it does seem like we don't have much room for error. I still am getting use to how the Multiverse works and all but, no matter how chaotic these Gan Knots are won't it not take long for Sieg to realize who's show up and go try and play Six-Dimensional whack a mole? It, it's so bad that most of us are the decoy's?"
As James and the others looked uneasy a woman voice uttered," We are not the decoys."
Mike turned around to see that it was Xena. The one known as the Warrior Princess looked before she shrugged." You're right that if we were the only one's that would attack, the IV&C would quickly come with everything they had. But…others will be attacking other Gan knot worlds and other IV&C bases so that we can move without having to fight everything they have."
The curly haired man winced as he looked at the ships around the moon like station." Wait…so there are others? And…they are just…throwing themselves at Sieg and his upside-down asshole board members to by us time?"
Xena shrugged and looked out into the Bleed." All rivers run to the sea, even if it's the cosmic sea. We'll end up in the same place, I'm sure of it. You must not be hesitant to fight in the just cause. It is better to die following your own way than to live following someone else's.
At least, that's how things are now. Many know they will be killed or tormented by Sieg so at least they can fight to the end. Its cruel I know…but like they said before, we don't have the luxury of being picky how we go about this, all lives are on the line, and if we have to stain are hands to save more then so be it. I'll take what Ares taught me and shove it down his throat. I know Calisto will be looking for me, I'll do my part to."
Mike saw the woman's grim resolve before he sighed." With all these different universe's out there…guess it's hard to see any truth out there but whoever shouts their truth the loudest."
Xena shrugged before replying with," So you really wanna know what truth is?"
Mike paused before uttering, "Yeah."
"It's life. We must revere it wherever we find it. To bring peace to as much of the Multiverse as possible, we have to teach a reverence for life. It is the beauty of the multiverse. Each line has its place. Each has a meaning. Each drawing on the other to complete its totality. That's what I'm fighting for, to honor what the people I care about."
Mike nodded before he looked around." That's what I would like to do to Xena. But…um…which ship is getting us to the fight again?"
Before she could answer Calvin flew down near them and replied with," We are not getting there by a ship Mike. We are doing are best to land on the Gan Knot without getting noticed."
Mike raised an eyebrow before Tyson shrugged." So is Goku warping us there again or something?"
They all saw a flash before a blue box appeared next to them. It mimicked a police box, an obsolete type of telephone kiosk that was once commonly seen on streets in Britain in the 1950s on Earth Prime.
As the door opened Calvin shrugged." More like our group is getting there vie TARDIS. The TARDIS is an acronym of "Time And Relative Dimension in Space."
Mike saw the TARDIS up close before he let out an uneasy chuckle." So, we are doing the whole stealth angle eh? Well must be one hell of a pilot."
"Not a pilot, a doctor."
Everyone saw a person come out of the TARDIS and Mike realized he saw the woman in the meeting earlier but now had a closer look at her. She was a dark-skinned middle-aged woman. She had black hair, which she wore in braids.
ore a frock coat of navy tweed with seven silver buttons on the left side and one on the right. She wore a kente shirt with frilled trims including cuffs and a mandarin collar under a double-breasted waistcoat of Prussian blue tweed with a shawl collar sixteen bronze buttons. She also wore black combat trousers tucked into black Doc Marten shoes.
As she walked up Mike let out an uneasy chuckle." Sorry it's been a lot of faces to remember so who are you again?"
"That's Doctor Who to you boy."
Mike paused before he glanced at Tyson." Did I miss a joke at some point? Are you like the alliance medic or something?"
"More like the Alliance timelord "Prince" do try and keep up."
Tyson eyed Doctor Who carefully before nodding." Timelord…I heard some of them were the aces of that Time Patrol but did not think any were left. But…guess they did still exist in another universe?"
"Close but…that's not the whole story." The Doctor uttered bitterly." There was far more to the story than the Timelords wanted to admit. I don't know who you know but I'm not a Time Lord, but the "Timeless Child."
The Timeless Child is a being of an unknown species from an unknown planet, discovered by the Tecteun of the Shobogan race on another planet.
As a child this Tecteun found me next to a monument beneath a wormhole when Tecteun found me with no context as to why I was alone.
I was Tecteun I, who discovered my power to regenerate after I suffered a fatal fall from a cliff and regenerated before Tecteun's eyes. Tecteun went on to study my power for a number of years and regenerations, which led to a total of at least seven incarnations.
Tecteun was eventually able to work out how to gene splice a piece of my DNA into her Gallifreyan DNA, which she did after killing herself, successfully regenerating into a new incarnation. Tecteun II eventually spread this power to other Shobogans, who would go on to become Time Lords."
Tyson saw how causal Doctor Who was about this revelation before he let out a uneasy chuckle." So you cool with creating a whole super race like that?"
"Hardly…they lied to me about my past for lifetimes. I was recruited by a Time Lord called Solpado into a Time Lord black ops organization called the Division, whose job it was to intervene in the affairs of other planets and times when necessary.
After being tested, the results came back saying they were the best the Division had ever seen. Upon completion of my tasks, my memories were redacted, and I was forced into the form of a child, and only remembered this after going through oh, thirteen or fourteen lifetimes and splitting in half. So naturally I was rather cross about it and became a fugitive and long story short I crossed paths with the rest of the Rebels here."
Tyson took that all in and just responded with," Damn…no matter the universe assholes that gain power by tricking" minorities" sucks hardcore. To hell with any colonizer in any universe."
"Seriously." Mike added." Still…if I heard your story correctly you're an immortal…doctor? So…you're the go to gal for first aid?"
"Well I thought that at first." The Doctor replied." But honestly, while I can't just shot down the IV&C I am rather godly myself so, should be able to add a bit to the mission long as you boys throw your weight.
One of those powers includes rather impressive time traveling abilities, that will help us get to where we want to be without the enemy greeting us."
"Sounds like a good plan to me Doc." Mike answered wryly." So, like…do we have a contact for who we are supposed to meet? It's a lot of universe's that are all going through various kind's of World War 2 stuff all smashed together right? So which soldiers of Uncle Sam are we meeting then?"
"No need for the middlemen, the contact is Uncle Sam himself."
"Come again?"
Calvin pressed a button before a hologram appeared of a old man in a top hat with clothing in the colors of the American flag, red white and blue." In one universe, Uncle Sam was a spiritual entity created through an occult ritual by the Founding Fathers of the United States.
This "Spirit of America" was initially bound to a powerful talisman and would take physical form by merging with a dying patriot. The Spirit of America had taken human form as the Minute-Man during the Revolutionary War, Brother Jonathan in later conflicts and, during the American Civil War, had been split in two as Johnny Reb and Billy Yank.
He was from what we labeled" Earth X." One which Germany won World War II. All of Earth-X's superheroes and most or all of its masked adventurers were immigrants from "Earth-Two." On most Earths across the Multiverse, President Franklin D. Roosevelt died of a stroke, on April 12th, 1945.
On Earth-X, FDR passed away from a heart attack, in 1944. Also at this time, Nazi Germany was able to develop atomic weapons. The Axis and the Allies now faced the prospect of Mutually Assured Destruction, but for the time being, the conventional warfare continued.
This went on until 1968, when Adolf Hitler's Nazi war machine developed a system of mind-control technology, which worked directly on the enemy's will to fight. After that, the war ended very quickly, with complete Nazi victory. Very shortly later, the Nazis double-crossed their erstwhile Axis partner Japan, and turned this technology on them as well.
Uncle Sam has managed to hold his own, even as the Nazi forces are being reinforced by a hybrid of Hydra and the Galactic Sith Empire forces along with those like the Yellow Lantern Corps. But the IV&C is not going to let this stand."
Mike nodded before he reacted with," So we are there to clean house?"
"In time but don't go in guns blazing just yet." Calvin uttered cautiously." I know you just gotten a new level of power that will allow you to defeat a lot more enemies but, just remember you still can't match Sieg and just showing up right away will likely bring him directly to us, and compromise the whole situation.
That's why we are treating this as a stealth mission at the start. Even if it leads to more casualties in the beginning, hopefully it will lead to less by the end."
Mike nodded bitterly as he sighed." I get yah man, got to think long term. Been doing that so far, might as well stay consistent eh? Just, how much time do we have to pull this off?"
Before they could answer a tremor nearly knocked everyone off there feet before Mike turned pale." Oh hell, did I really just jinx us all and have Sieg show up?"
Doctor Who took out a screwdriver before she tensed up." No not him but it's not much better. The Bleed is deteriorating worst then we thought. If we don't move out soon it might quickly become much harder to get to Gan Knot C in time to do anything. Even for me, we won't be able to waste much if any time with this. It's time to move."
Calvin nodded as he looked around." You all know what you have to do and where you're going. Do what you can, so that we can hopefully have a better tomorrow."
Astra winced before she looked at Mike and Tyson." You guys better be on top of things…it's going to be tricky bailing you guys out across the Multiverse."
Mike gave a salute before he flashed a half-lopped smile." I was just going to say that to you "Equalizer". Don't go picking fights across the Multiverse when you don't even know what the customs are."
James chuckled before he nodded." Don't worry, I'll support her as much as I can. At least I know even more experienced field leaders will be guiding you."
Ezan nodded before adding," We may be the only Enji left, but at least for this mission, everyone has the same goal. Just keep your eyes alert, and may the force of light be with you all."
Mike saw Astra, James, Zero, Sonic, and others go in one direction, before Ezan, Daigo, Cid, Aries, went another way, and he took a deep breath." Well dad, let's see if you're in the neighborhood. Ready Tyson?"
"Always bro." The Black Panther replied. The two friends fist bumped before they, Doctor Who, Calvin, Spider-Gwen, Mark, Eve, Chole, Hutch, Wolverine, and the others in their team run into the TARDIS. Mike expected a closet but was pleased to see that somehow the inside was much bigger.
As he looked around and saw a wide blue and white room with circles on the walls and a platform in the center he shrugged." Well was worried we were going to have to start this with my foot asleep but at least that's one less thing to worry about. Still, where's the seat belt?"
"This is not a luxury cruise kid just hang on." Doctor Who replied before pressing a few buttons." The TARDIS can do a lot of stuff so, you won't even realize your in a Time Vortex. Speaking of that, starting the Time Vortex!"
One of the people in the group, a man dressed as a red and black ninja with swords and guns that's name was Wade Wilson, but mostly gone by Deadpool let out a wild laugh." And this is just the first five steps to a prostate-assisted orgasm! Can you see it? Do you see that beautiful bright light? There it is. Oh, that's the sun. Don't stare directly into that!"
Wolverine was part of the group to, and the man with retractable metal claws snarled at Deadpool." You better zip those lips unless you want to lose them bub."
Deadpool just laughed before retorting with," Oh you want my mouth! Its cool I got a spare! Oh you Wolverine's are always so adorable when your being all macho."
Calvin sighed before clearing his throat." Calm down Logan, Wade…has been through so much that it's effected his sanity a tad. But he is good at what he does, and he can regenerate so, he will be helpful for what's to come."
Wolverine saw Deadpool wave before he sighed." I put up with worst. But how long is this ride going to, huh?"
The TARDIS made a" ding" noise before Doctor Who smirked." The answer is, it's over. A Time Lord, and those who practice in their craft does not waste time."
Tyson chuckled before he cracked his neck." Damn…you really are a pro eh Doc? So…we really landed without being detected?"
"Only one way to find out." The timeless being replied." But best not be expecting a picnic."
The black panther got his kunai out before he nodded." I can take a hit and throw it back so, I'll go first."
Tyson opened the door and saw what looked like a decrypt tunnel outside the TARDIS. The ruler of Wakanda looked around and saw they were outside a run-down tunnel.
He heard alarms in what seemed to be above before he looked at the others and shrugged."Well at the very moment it seems stable, though we might have just landed in some old space station or something."
Doctor Who raised an eyebrow before walking out. She took out her Sonic Screwdriver and smirked." Oh it's not a space station "King", it's a subway station. I landed on target, away from prying eyes.
We are on Gan Knot "C", in New York City. To be more precise, in the New York Pennsylvania Sub Station."
Mike raised an eyebrow and walked out. He saw to the right a platform and smirked." So we really are in "the Big Apple?" My folks took me to Earth Prime a few times but…seeing it when it was not a planet wide museum is…really like seeing history in motion. Wait…we are supposed to be here when World War 2 was going on right? Were subways even invented yet?"
Calvin chuckled before responding with," Remember we are on a single Earth that is a knot of many other universe's smashed together so, trying to get a sense of " historically accuracy " can be an ordeal. "
Mike looked at his own attire before he saw a poster of a man in a Nazi uniform with a red skull for a face in the walls of the station telling children to " put country over family" Before he shrugged." Fair enough. Still…should we change to not get attention or something?"
"Yah, just wear these trench coats they are the style for the times." As he handed out brown trench coats and hats he shrugged." And once the fighting has started, people are not going to care much."
Mike saw dust fall on the ground before he winced." If it's not already started."
Wolverine sniffed around before he growled." I'm smelling all kinds of folk around here, but all cramped together. Sounds like a fight's already started and people are taking shelter."
Everyone then heard someone yell out," MEDIC!"
Before Mike grimly nodded and he got the Adolla Fangs ready." Well…one way or another might as well see what kind of party we have going on around here."
The group walked out of the subway tunnel, and saw that it seemed that people had indeed ran in a hurry because dropped items were littered all over the stairs.
They heard explosions in the distance and ran out of Pen Station to see New York City. People dressed in US military uniforms were running to the right and yelling, and a barrage of explosions quickly gave Mike's group an idea on where the fighting was coming.
In the distance more soldiers with American or " Allied" uniforms were shooting at men with Nazi outfits. But among the Nazi's were others such as Hydra Imperial Storm troopers, Rock soldiers, Battle Android Troopers with" Cobra" symbols, and a few other inhuman looking demonic soldiers.
He saw tanks in the distance, and several of those tanks were being rolled over by giant War Wheels that were several stories tall. The red and black machines exceptionally well armored and were mounted with two artillery cannons and an antipersonnel weapon.
Tyson saw the symbol of the Nazi army on those machines before he then also saw machines most known being used by the galactic empire, the two legged All Terrain Scout Transport or AT-ST and the four legged camel like All Terrain Armored Transport or AT-AT's.
On top of that Wolverine saw giant red and purple robot giants among the mix and he took out his claws." They have Sentinels to? Well that sure leaves a impression."
The Sentinel scanned the battle zone before declaring," Exterminating all Jews."
Deadpool just rubbed the back of his head before throwing out a dry." My common sense is tingling, it's telling me that these guys can't take a joke. And, hey, HEY! You guys just killed the nice, deranged nurse I was going to score with when this was over! That's it it's on!"
As Tyson saw even Deadpool was looking semi serious he narrowed his eyes." Well at least it's real damn clear what the situation is. I get what you mean about not bothering to try and make sense of this. It's just Nazi's trying to cheat with tech form the future or from other universe's. Well if all they got is bigger toy's time for them to, huh?"
The group saw some tanks blowing up in the other direction before a mad laughter could be heard." Oh come on boys, if your this bad at hide and seek then this game might as well end tonight! Time to go to town Demogoblins!"
They saw that the person that yelled that out was a man that looked like a goblin with yellow skin in a blue and yellow outfit that had a hood over his head and was on a floating metal glider.
As the man fired pumpkin shaped bombs at tanks from his glider, and as other men were around him and did the same thing Mike raised an eyebrow." So we have demon Nazi's eh? Sounds about right."
Spider-Gwen ran up before she narrowed her eyes." That's not a demon, just a crook pretending to be a demon. He's the Hobgoblin…a crook who just took stuff from Normon Osborn and acts like a big shot. There's a lot of guys who said they were the Hobgoblin but seems like they are all running around today!"
Mike saw that the" Hobgoblin's squadron" were zooming around buildings and bombing tanks and other soldiers before he saw the War Wheels before he grasped his fist tightly." After being in hell, fakers pretending they are demons have no shot now."
Tyson paused before he snickered." I don't think all of them are faking bro."
Everyone felt a tremor, followed by another roar before one of the buildings in the distance collapsed. Moments later soldiers screamed before a dark yellow monster burst out of it.
It was hideous enough to make Mike wince, but he could make out a giant dragon-like alien beast with its two semi-sentient, tentacle-like appendages, which were moving in a serpentine-like manner before Doctor Who just gave an exasperated sigh." In all of my travels across the Multiverse, this is the first time I seen a Shadow Beast Demon Statue Gromaides Nazi."
Calvin nodded before looking around in disgust." It's clear that this Hydra Empire also has assimilated the Red Falcon group too. Well…just more tyrants to knock down."
The group prepared to take action till they heard an even more vile burst of laughter than from Hobgoblin, as a Sentinel bigger than the others with three heads burst out of the ocean.
Suddenly a man in a blue military outfit came out of the center head of this " Tri-Sentinel" with a blank sliver mask over his face before he laughed madly. " Time for you American's to face reality at last! Bow before the cobra, or be swallowed by it!
I am the one born to rule, destined to conquer! Let those who fear me follow me. Let those who oppose me die! For I am Cobra Commander, and this I command!
Iron Claw…flank them! HAHAHAHA!"
Mike saw this Cobra Commander bark out orders before he rubbed his head." Wait is it Hydra or Cobra?"
Calvin sighed before answering with," Cobra's another shadow Nazi group from other universe's…I think they are competing with each other now to show the IV&C who is the most productive fascist army across the Multiverse."
Tyson saw Cobra Commander and Iron Claw's troops coming their way and cracked his neck." They can call themselves cobra, Hydra's or whatever but they are just panther's prey in the end! I know we are trying to keep a low profile but we can't get anything done just watching from the sidelines! "
"I know." Calvin replied." Let's just figure out the chain of command to make this quick, huh?"
Just as Cobra Commander seemed to be ready to fire something a stern male voice declared," America is not being blown away by scum like you! You will never blast away freedom fascist scum!"
A man that looked like an old man with a beard with a top hat looking like the American Flag jumped off a building and casually punched Cobra Commander's Tri-Sentinel to the ground.
Cobra Commander saw the intruder just land on the ground and readjust his hat before he snarled out," Damn you Uncle Sam! You freedom loving mutants can't punch your way out of this armada!"
"We will see about that! Say, can you see by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? And the rockets' red glare
The bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night, that our flag is still there! So Black Condor, Doll Man, the Human Bomb, the Ray, the Phantom Lady, get these Nazi collaborators out of my city!"
A man in a bird like outfit, a man in a black suit and a golden helmet, a man in a black suit, and a woman in a golden suit flew out of a building and proceeded to blast and punch all the Wheel Tanks that were about to run through New York.
Mike saw Uncle Sam casually punch the incoming tank into the ocean, and saw the others with him easily punch down down the Sentinel and AT-AT's before he chuckled." So that's the "Spirit of America" eh? Well, just met him but at least he's selling the image alright."
Cobra Commander grasped his helmet before hissing out," You think we did not think you were going to show up!? I wanted to see you so I could see your stupid face melt! Iron Claw…fire the Super Dragonfire cannon!"
The head of the SCAR division of the Cobra division of the Hydra Empire division of the IV&C pressed a button on his own warcraft before a cannon appeared out of the snake face of his tank and quickly fired energy at Uncle Sam's back. Just as Mike was about to yell out, a round shield with the image of the American flag shot out and intercepted the blast.
As the projectile that Cobra hoped would kill his target get shattered a new male voice uttered," Your tricky won't win, not today Cobra! Okay, Axis—Here we come! Invaders…assemble!"
Everyone saw that the man who caught the shield, was Captain America. The" first Avenger" looked around before crying out," Miss America, Whizzer, Thunderer, Destroyer, Black Marvel, Toro, lets show these Krauts just what their tech amounts to!"
Tyson saw even four other men , and another man that seemed to be living fire, plus one woman in patriotic superhero outfits fly out to further pummel their enemies before Tyson snickered at seeing Black Marvel's uniform." Damn…this really is old school alright. Well…history is history."
Cobra Commander screamed as his forces were being blown up all around him before he pressed a few buttons." You think you can out invade the invaders? You dogs of uncle Sam will get what you deserve! You think you can protect your precious " Liberty" Please…the symbols you hold so dear will be what crushes you! Krang…do it now!"
Everyone was shocked to see a giant robot with a brain in its center fly past Cobra before the brain laughed." Oh how I waited years for this! Mandroid…fusing with the target now!"
Everyone was horrified to see the one named Krang have the machine he was piloting fly into the Statue of Liberty, before the two fused together to become a horrifying machine.
Krang laughed as his new machine glowed." Liberty no more! You filthy apes will be crushed by the Statue of Tyranny! Time to crush some bugs!"
Tyson saw the "Statue of Tyranny glow before he winced." Man, that's some hardcore violation all right."
Krang fired twin beams at Cap and Sam while firing missiles at everyone else. Cap blocked the laser with his shield he grunted out," You're going to pay for trampling over what we hold dear!
Cobra Commander laughed as he had the Tri-Sentinel 's three heads all glow." Enough! Time for you patriots to learn what values were the losing side the whole time!"
Before he could fire a rocket headed right into his cannon to cause the whole attack to backfire. As Cobra Commander roared in outrage another gruff male voice yelled out," You first Cobra! Go joes!"
Cobra saw a man in a military outfit with a gun before Cobra snarled out," DAMN YOU GI JOE!"
"It's over Cobra! Hawk…Heavy Duty…Ripcord…Scarlet, don't give him an inch while Bill Rizer and Lance Bean get the other side!"
"Right Duke!"
The G.I. Joes bombarded Cobra's machine from all sides before Mike saw the Gromaides monster get blasted by two soldiers form the Contra division and smirked." Even if these guys are old school they know how to get the job done."
"They are good at what they do." Calvin replied." But the IV&C is playing a very different war then what they are use to so we got to figure out how that war is being played before they blitz them."
As Mike let out a grim nod Uncle Sam, Captain America, and the G.I. Joes all charged at Cobra and Krang as Sam narrowed his eyes." You fella's are going to learn the hard way that no amount of bombs won't help a lick if you don't have the heart of a true patriot!"
He was going to pummel Cobra, till a yellow energy beam suddenly came at him. He dodged it, only for the beam to suddenly morph into a snake and wrap around Sam. As the other Freedom Fighters looked on in shock a much colder voice uttered," We have more them bombs patriot…we have something far more primal…fear!"
Everyone saw that the attack came from a man in a yellow uniform that was flying in midair. He had red skin and a thin mustache, and the beam was coming from a ring on his finger.
Tyson saw the man's cold glare before he rolled his eyes." I knew this was going to be crazy but did not think that Hitler was going to be fighting directly with a demon ring or something! Whatever, writing slugging Hitler on the bucket list works just fine for me!"
"That's not Adolf Hitler." Calvin uttered bitterly as he tensed up." Though it is someone who is just as fascist as him. That's Thaal Sinestro of the Korugar race. "
Mike paused before he remembered some of the history he read and widened his eyes." Wait I think we had him in are universe! Yah, he was the arch-nemesis of Hal Jorden and the rest of the Green Lanterns.
At one point the greatest member of the Green Lantern Corps, but he was corrupted by his power and exiled for crimes against his own people.
He now seeks to impose his own order and control onto the universe, employing a Yellow Lantern Ring to combat the green he has grown to despise. His prowess and ruthlessness have made him one of the most feared villains in existence, and eventually, he establishes his own Sinestro Corps.
But wait…I heard after a while he reformed and became a Green Lantern again! I mean it took joining a newer order after his home planet got nuked and all the old bosses of the Lanterns died but still!"
"That may be true but I don't think that whatever Universe this Sinestro came from saw the light man!"
Tyson uttered bitterly. Mike saw the G.I Joes and some of the other Super hero's fire at Sinestro, only for a yellow aura to defuse all of their shots before Captain America grit his teeth." No matter how much dark magic your ring possesses you Hitler body double, it won't be enough for you to escape answering what you done! Back me up Torch!"
Cap threw his shield just as the original torch set it on fire, but to his dismay Sinestro had a hand of raw energy come out of his ring to catch the shield before he looked at Cap with pure contempt." You think your bravado will unravel me?Your attempts at frightening me are puny and futile, Earthling! Nothing frightens me. I am fear."
"You can be the devil himself but your still one crook!" Sam uttered as he tried to over power the construct on him, causing Sinestro to smirk." I'm not just one "madman" but the leader of a superior unit! Now my Sinestro Corps!
In Blackest day, In Brightest night, beware your fears made into light! Let those who try to stop what's right, burn like my power, Sinestro's might!"
Suddenly flashes of yellow light came out of the ground like snakes that smashed into most of the superheroes. Everyone saw that dozens of others in the same uniform of Sinestro descended before Mike winced." Yah…I think this is the whole new kind of war you were talking about."
Deadpool snickered as he looked at all the new enemies." Oh big deal the Deadpool Corps is a whole lot more badass then this! Only thing is...they are so badass they all are doing there own thing but one Deadpool Corps members is worth a dozen of you hacks!"
Sinestro saw his target's struggle before he grasped his hand tightly." Warworld came here just in time. Your resistance, your valor will be blown out like the pitiful flame it is.
After all, the Green Lantern Corps thought they knew better, and they were proven wrong about how stubborn Willpower really is. Enjoy your final moments…as you die screaming! Arkillo… Lyssa… Duel Eknham…Karu-Sil...Bur'Gunza...make sure no one escapes."
As the leader of the corps named after his name formed a drill, before he could fire it through Sam and Captain America, Mike showed he had enough before yelling out," No…you're not just shoving fear down everyone's throats! Come on Tyson!"
"Hell yah!" The ruler of Wakanda yelled as Mike suddenly flash stepped in front of the incoming drill energy construct and cast an energy barrier.
Sinestro saw the barrier absorb his light before he raised an eyebrow." What…there was a few lanterns left? Wait…I don't see a ring. Who are you?"
Mike grinned at the red skinned man before shrugging." Just a concerned patriot who does not want ring loving fascists wrecking the good old Big Apple!"
"Oh…so your another boy that stumbled into some radio active waste or a dying alien's belonging to become what he did not deserve to be? You have no idea what power your messing with boy!"
He formed a spinning ring and flung it at Mike, only for Eve to form a glove of energy before she glared at Sinestro." You're not the only one who knows how to throw objects of energy together creep!"
Sinestro blinked in shock before he looked around." So, there was a Star Sapphire among you? No matter…love is devoured by fear in the end. Arkillo…you have your new chew toy."
The grey reptilian like Vornian member of the Sinestro corps roared before charging at Eve, only for Tyson to flash step in front of Arkillo to smash him in the face before Mark appeared and further smashed the man trying to rip apart his girlfriend to the ground. Tyson glared at Sinestro before making a mocking gesture." Yah you're the assholes who are out of your depth."
The ring welding villain saw his other corpsmen being knocked down by Calvin before he narrowed his eyes." So you want to learn the hard way the depths of my fury? Young earthlings are doubly obtuse! Have the courtesy to expire quickly I have business to get done! "
He formed a construct shield and forced it towards Mike. As the curly haired man blocked it, he quickly shackling the opponent with a beam from his power ring, he created twin beams of energy as Mike was caught off guard.
He prepared to try and vaporized everyone till a green shackle caught his hand. He widened his eyes and saw it came from a man with black skin in an outfit like his but green. The man glared at Sinestro before declaring," How about you have the manners to stop dragging lanterns everywhere down the mud!?"
"Heh…John Stewart…did not think you would show your face again ally rat. You want to join Hal, Guy and Kyle that badly?"
"More like avenge them you traitor."
"Well you are a good soldier to a fault but your so devoted to duty your failing to realize your one Lantern against an entire corps!"
He prepared to unleash a snake head, before a large green glove suddenly smashed into Sinestro. As he was knocked into the ground he saw the attacker came from a woman in a Green Lantern outfit with a mark over her face. As he looked at the woman she glared at him." He's not alone jackass!"
"Sorry…I don't have time to get to know whatever desperate rookies that have just joined to die."
Before the woman could snap back John yelled out," Don't let him get in your head Cruz…just keep the pressure up!"
Sinestro fired a raw beam of energy at the Green Lanterns, only for Mike to catch the beam again. He condensed the beam before uttering," You been throwing a lot of capital around…time for a refund!
Compound Fracture Flash!"
Mike unleashed a reflected projectile that smashed into Sinestro, and cut through his barrier. As he realized he was bleeding the Green Lantern's smashed him into a building with their constructs before Sinestro yelled out," Enough! I'm no mere grunt, I'm the master of fear! I suppose I'll have to show you why. Lash…direct all the captives in the Fear Engine to me!
Time to come out… Parallax!"
Everyone heard a demonic roar before a giant demonic yellow dragon came out of his ring, and merged with the man who summoned it before a shock-wave knocked everyone back.
Sinestro emerged with shoulder armor and a cape on him, and now had sharper teeth before his aura became a dragon before Calvin winced." No…that…that was a powerful cosmic entity, which is fed by fear. If he merged with that…he's going to be even more of a pain."
The master of fear energy glanced at the Superman before he snickered." Another dog from Kryton eh? You can join the others in the " pen"."
"Others?" Calvin uttered with contempt." What the hell are you planning?"
"Oh…if you want to find out then bend the knee already."
Mike glanced at the transformed enemy before he winced." So…he's merged with the kind of thing my mom merged with?"
Sinestro formed a demonic drill the size of a building before he widened his eyes." Now do you realize how much you're out of your depth street rat? Annoying little gnat! You will submit or die! I am Thall Sinestro of Korugar, first harasser of the yellow light of fear. Creator of the Sinestro Corps.
Devourer of the life force of Parallax, the all powerful fear entity. I remove the safeguard of my ring, I open myself willingly to the flood of the fear engine. Power that would rend the flesh of any other shall be bent to my whim."
His ring then glowed before saying,"Power level…increasing by one thousand percent."
Tyson narrowed his eyes before snarling out," You think you're the only one with a mythic beast empowering you? You're not as special as you think red Hitler! I'm Damisa-sarki" the panther and if you don't know what that means, I'm giving you a crash course! Let's show this dick who the prey is Bast!"
The Tri-Force surged before he went into his "Tri-Path Sage Mode" and the Truth Seeker orbs appeared around the Black Panther once more before Sinestro raised a eyebrow." That…does not look like one of the Emotional spirit entities that I am familiar with. Is it…from another universe? No matter…it to will submit to fear and your head is full of stone to think otherwise while my head is full of conviction!"
He waved his hand before his aura formed a giant armored being the size of New York's biggest buildings. Tyson saw the armored being form a sword before he shrugged." That's all?
Din's Erupting...Burning...Desgarrón!"
His aura once more took the shape of a panther as he in a flash unleashed a wave of fiery energy claws that intercepted the blade of energy. Sinestro was shocked to see his blade pushed back, before he saw the blade of energy crack. He glared at the Black Panther before his eyes glowed again."
"You think mere hero's can stop me? In folktales, a hero is someone who is changed by the truth. And I was, as you will be. I understand you think your will is stronger than the ugliness inside. But you can only avoid looking for so long can't you? Embrace it "panther"."
Everyone saw souls of all the dead in the battle start flowing around Sinistro's ring to form a storm of skulls before Tyson winced." I thought these rings can just make stuff, not summon the dead damn it!"
Calvin winced as he looked around. "The Black Lantern rings can but this does not seem like that…this wave-length is not death but…Ultraviolet?"
"Heh, you're smarter than the average Superman but it's not enough! You are right though, for this energy is not fear, but from the Ultraviolet energy. The Ultraviolet Corps is the Lantern Corps of the unseen light, part of the "Invisible Emotional Spectrum". The "heart" of the corps is a "Living Phantom Galaxy", powered by a sentient sun called Umbrax.
Umbrax moves unseen through space, drawn toward planets where self-destructive forces are strongest. It surrounds these places, animating them with its energy, and then pulls them into its galaxy, adding them and their inhabitants to the Ultraviolet Lantern Corps.
With the help of Lex's tech, and Darth Sidious's " dark side" I tamed it, to also be its master! Umbrax was drawn because you humans love fighting so much. At last you will get the destiny you deserve!
By shield of day, and shield of night
we feed and grow, beyond all sight
your darkest self shall be our knight
wield the sword of unseen light!"
As Sinestro seemed to be gathering even more energy from his new oath Mike winced." Figures that the IV&C is decking out their guys with all kind's of broken tech."
Sinestro formed a new aura claw of raw Ultra-Violent energy and was starting to push Tyson's attack back before he looked manic." You fools are out of your depth…I have a power that the likes of you could never understand!"
Mike prepared to power up before Doctor Who walked up and sighed." Your ego is almost as big as the Master eh wanker? Maybe most would not be able to understand, but I seen even more than you mate. And while you're playing with some seriously nasty stuff, it's still stuff that can be blocked, or jammed."
She took out her sonic screwdriver, and unleashed a shock-wave. The energy from the shock-wave caused Sinestro's ring, along with all of his crew's rings to become unstable before Sinestro's power weakened. He glanced at the Doctor before hissing out," No…you can't dismiss this power that casually like some god! Who are you?"
"I'm not a god, I'm the doctor."
"Bah…no Doctor can patch up the targets of my wrath!"
He prepared to issue another command before a woman with short black hair in a doctors outfit suddenly flew up to Sinestro and had her eyes glow blue before uttered," Deflection is a sign of insecurity. Its time you are honest with your feelings."
Sinestro felt something in his head before he grit his teeth." You dare think you can enter my mind?"
While he tried to fight the newcomer's power off Tyson powered up further."
"Not fun when someone tries to control you eh asshole!? But if you are not going to learn then game over!" Tyson roared out as his aura exploded." Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Tyson fired a massive blast of energy at Sinestro, only for another beam to come down from above to intercept it. Everyone looked up before seeing that the beam came from a ship above, one 17.5 kilometers in length.
Mike glanced at the black ship before he winced." That ship, that's a Star Destroyer right?"
"Not just a Star Destroyer." Calvin uttered bitterly." The Eclipse-class dreadnought, also known as the Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer, one of the ship's that are under the personal command of Emperor Palpatine."
Sinestro saw the Eclipse class Star Destroyer in the distance before he winced." He dares try to take my glory away from me?"
All of a sudden, the Hobgoblin flew up to Sinestro before the man on the glider snickered." Looks like the tides have changed and it's time to kill another day Sinestro."
"You think you dare to give me orders imp?"
"Heh, no but the boss told me to tell you we are changing the plans because of unexpected reinforcements bucko! For me all I know is that there is no profit to be made in my own annihilation in this war! Be nice and I'll let you hitch a ride!"
The Hobgoblin took out a time dilation accelerator portal-making machine before opening a portal behind him. Sinestro glanced at Mike, Tyson, Doctor Who, and the others before he grasped his fist tightly." I'll admit these rabble have more surprises than we expected. Damn it, we must suppress this filth. No matter how much you defy fate, you will get the destiny you deserve."
Cobra Commander and Krang both tried to get out of there wrecked machines before Cobra yelled out," Wait…don't forget me!"
"Who said I forgot?" Sinestro hissed out as he fired a beam at the Tri-Sentinel and the "Statue of Tyranny". As the two exploded and the pilots screamed before being vaporized, Sinestro looked around coldly." That's mercy compared to what's in store for you all. No matter how many "allies" you "patriots" call for, you can't change destiny. And the destiny of man is to be consumed by their own rage, we are just molding that rage to make something out of it."
He and the rest of the Lanterns followed Hobgoblin through the portal. Mike saw that the Star Destroyer and any of the ships still standing were leaving New York before he blinked in shock." Is that it…they are given up?"
"Don't let your guard down, they just realized that things are not as they expected are are regrouping." Hank uttered as he and the other GI Joes ran over." We won the battle, but we got to make sure we don't lose the war."
Uncle Sam saw the fragments of the now transformed Statue of Liberty before he bitterly swept dirt out of his top hat." These damn Space Nazi's are not going to get away with this! They can mock good old American gutso all they want but they will see who gets the last laugh."
Calvin nodded before he sighed." I understand your anger Sam, I sure as hell have been there but we got to do this right or it's all over."
Sam then eyed the Superman carefully before he snickered." You…you are dressed like Clark. So you're the reinforcements that Frank Frink told us were coming from another world? I can see what he meant about it being from beyond our world. But not going to deny you boys and gals saved us from a whopping. You have my thanks."
"No problem." Mike answered as he nodded." Seen enough…cities fall to guy's who think they can do whatever they want, want to see it stop. Sorry we did not have time to give you guys the memo but, the name's Mike Auro.
I'll just say, fighting fascist runs in the family." Tyson nodded before he powered down." Name's Tyson Hamilton M'Baku. All that you guys need to know is that kicking fascists runs in my family too. Sounds like we showed up just as things have been getting crazy. Just, how long have you been fighting these half Cobra half Hydra ALL asshole loving Nazis?"
Cap walked up before he cleaned blood out of his shield." Can't give an answer for everyone. This world is a mix of many of our worlds. I have been fighting for the Allies since Project Rebirth in 1940. But some have been fighting for lifetimes."
Hank nodded before adding," Most of my team, the G.I. Joes or Special Counter-Terrorist Unit Delta's were formed after Pearl Harbor, but, then after a flash of light we were here and quickly noticed things changed."
Sam closed his eyes before throwing in," While these boys seen hell, they still are lucky compared to some. In Earth X, the Nazi's won and became hell on earth. But that still was not enough and they wanted more earths. Me and my Freedom Fighters fought off those who tried to add our Earth to their "Galactic Empire".
But while we were making progress putting the pressure on the Reichsmarschall, all of a sudden, they got back up from that red Hitler, another red fella with a skull for a face, and all kind's of space Nazi's and the monsters they pulled out right out of hell! I admit, we mostly just been trying to hang on so thanks for giving us breathing room."
Mike nodded before he looked around and saw how bombarded New York was before he grasped his fist tightly." Hope we can do more than hang on man but got to get an idea on the situation.
Has, any of the enemies said anything about an Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation? Short story is that they are the ones giving the Nazi's all the bonus perks and they are trying to see it that the Nazi's win on every earth forever. Have…any of these guys been talking about an end game? Have…you seen a tower anywhere?"
Sam paused before John flew down. The Green Lantern looked around and raised an eyebrow." Superman was captured earlier, and Batman said he was taken to DC, and that there was a rather big tower where the Washington Monument use to be. All we know is that its tech far beyond what Lex Luthor, Sinestro, or even this Galactic Empire seemed to be able to create."
Mike's eyes widened with hope before replying with," You have a Batman here? Is he here?"
Cap looked at the others before he shrugged." The Doom Patrol was still with him right? Jane…can you get us in touch?"
The goth like woman that caused Sinestro pain cursed at the first Avenger in words Mike's group did not even understand, only for the man with the shield to wince." Sorry still getting use to your, situation. I meant Doctor Harrison can you get us in touch with your friends?"
The woman either known as Doctor Harrison or Jane landed on the ground and paused. Mike wondered if the woman with the blue glowing eyes was going to attack them all before she shrugged." Yah, he's still there. But old man Niles wants to remind everyone to use the back door with all that's going on."
Uncle Sam eyed her carefully before he eyed the others carefully." Are you sure this lass is with the Doom Patrol? I fought with the Doom Patrol and they were a lot more…organized."
"Maybe from your universe Sam but this Doom Patrol is a bit…more…erratic." Cap replied." Even so, we work with the army we have, not what we wish Sam. Fair enough, we will take the Sewers to the Batcave."
Tyson blinked a few times before responding with a blunt," Wait…the Batcave? I thought Batman set up shop in Gotham City?"
"He did." Sam uttered but based on what Niles told me, of the history of Earth-X was merged with that of Earth-One, Earth-Two, Earth-Four, and Earth-S, to form one composite universe and in Earth four Gotham is New York city. Better to move where the enemy can't detect us. Nightwatcher…do we have a secure path?"
A bulky male completely covered in black armor just walked up and nodded." Got a few Mousers and some of those "Probe Droids" lurking around but we should be able to get back to the manor long as we go carefully. You think you can sense any trouble Parker? "
Everyone turned to the left and saw a man that looked like Spiderman, only clad in black come down from above upside down on a web before the black Spiderman uttered a cold," I told you, in the field my name is Noir."
Spider-Gwen looked at the other Spiderman in shock before she eyed the new arrival carefully." Wait…Spider-Man Noir? I did not know you were here! I thought you were killed when the IV&C wiped out Nueva York and the rest of Earth-928!"
Spider-Man Noir eyed his female counterpart carefully before he narrowed his eyes." I think we got things mixed up toots. My name is Peter Parker, in my universe it's 1933 and I'm a private eye.
I like to drink egg creams and I like to fight Nazis…a lot. Sometimes I let matches burn down to my fingertips just to feel something anything. I know your fighting the good fight but I'm just here to make sure Osborn gets what he has coming no matter how many crooks he cozy's up with."
Spider-Gwen winced before she looked down." Oh…you're not the one I know…sorry."
Deadpool laughed before shrugging." Oh man this reminds me of the time I mistook Webby for the Hulk…but even he should have got the joke! I mean seriously what's green and makes noise? The Incredible Honk! You get it right!?"
Wolverine rolled his eyes before muttering a deadpanned," How are you still breathing bub?"
"I mean it helps that I can't die!"
As Wolverine resisted the urge to stab Deadpool through the throat Calvin cleared his throat." I have a feeling we are going to have a lot of mistaken identities today, but as long as you can get the job done then that's all that matters."
Spider-Noir nodded before he got on the ground." We don't pick the dance floor. We just dance. Just get ready, where I go the wind follows, and the wind smells like rain. We will head in at the Javis Center to throw them off."
Mike was about to say something till he realized there was another moon in the sky, and quickly realized it was not in fact a moon but what looked like a battle station before he tugged his collar." Well guess it's always a good place for people from all over to visit no matter the Universe. Still…not that smells are going to mess with me at this point but well…do we have time for the "Scenic path" right now?"
Calvin paused before he nodded." It may seem like we are wasting time but, if we can keep our enemies guessing just a bit longer than it's worth it Mike. We got to do everything we can to make sure it's not too late to fix this."
Tyson felt the ground shake before he nodded." Only one way to know how much the racist convention knows without it being the" hard way" so, let's make it count."
Mike nodded before he, Tyson, and the others followed Nightwatch and Spiderman-Noir as they tried to get to the Batcave without their enemies seeing them. Meanwhile at the Legion of Doom, as in the legit leaders of the organization known as the Legion of Doom were meeting to deal with the factors that derailed their plans.
In a wide grey hallway a man with graying black hair in a Hydra Empire uniform walked up at two guards before saluting." Reichsführer Skull…we have the information that the Führer desires."
The door opened, before a man in a Hydra Imperial uniform with a red skull for a face walked out. He eyed the man carefully before he looked back behind him." You think you have the right to know your master's will SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer John Smith? Does this fool live or die today…Lord Vader?"
The man named John Smith tensed up as he heard cold…mechanical breathing before a even deeper voice uttered," Are Master will grant an audience, to personally see if there words will be enough."
The Red Skull shrugged before he made a beckoning gesture." Best make sure you're worth the time standing before the Throne of the Sith. The Führer is in a far less forgiving mood then I am boy."
Smith could smell the blood on the Red Skull's hands before he cleared his throat." Sinestro…you can all explain yourselves now."
He motioned those who fought Mike's group before they entered an throne room. In this wide black room they saw a wide chamber with a window that showed Earth below.
A man in a black hood was sitting on a black throne that had three sets of spikes on it before he uttered a dark chuckle." How good of you all to be punctual…we are quiet eager to hear how the operation could fail so spectacularly."
Sinestro saw even some of his fellow Corpsmen looked tense before he bowed." The plan would have worked but…things changed Führer Palpatine."
The red faced man looked up to see a decaying old man that looked elderly, aside from his yellow eyes looking sharply at everyone.
Palpatine snickered before waving his hand." You may rise. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.
I was aware that those who rebel against the dark side would seek reinforcements, but they must learn that there is only one plan—one great design which shall govern this and every universe—mine. But I had you withdrew because I sensed a disturbance in the Force, and we must know just what we are dealing with before making are next move."
The Hobgoblin smirked before nodding." Hey just tell me what bombs to use boss man and I'll blow up anyone for the right price."
As the Emperor glared at him another angry voice shouted out," You made Oscorp tech look bad for the last time."
The Hobgoblin winced before he saw a man in a business suit walk up with a furious look. He had a short auburn hair mixed with black in a checkered pattern, and the Hobgoblin just winced." Oh hey there Normon, I heard you got bombed back in Hollywood. GUH!"
Normon Osborn grasped the Hobgoblin by the throat before he looked furiously at his employee." Nothing keeps me down, Kingsley. Not death. Betrayal. Even the entire universe against me! Every time I rise back up! Stronger than before! But you just make the goblins look bad when you run the moment things get chaotic!"
"Hey ease up Osborn! We were told to retreat. AHH!"
Osborn looked even more angry before he grit his teeth." Sinestro was told to retreat…you were supposed to spy on the enemy! With the portal tech you could follow them, and we would crush these maggots!"
"Hey…it just did not seem possible man I, AH!"
Osborn took a pumpkin bomb out of Hobgoblin's pocket and slammed it down his throat before uttering," That's why your vision was always inferior. You broke your contract Kingsly…YOUR OUT!"
The Hobgoblin screamed before suddenly his skin was ripped from his body. The now skinless man walked a few steps in shock before his organs fell out of his body and he died as a pile of bones.
All of a sudden, a cruel female voice giggled in the distance before cutting in with," Sorry but I read your mind and I liked my idea better."
A bald woman in a Hydra outfit with a cape walked up before Osborn grit his teeth." Don't meddle in my affairs Cassandra Nova!
I brought him in, so I felt I had to take personal ownership. We can't have dead-weight compromise us now."
Palpatine snickered before he nodded." All to true Reichsmarschall Osborn…there is no tolerance for failure now. That's why I want to know just want these unexplained factors are. Oberst-Gruppenführer Vandel Savage… Oberst-Gruppenführer Lex Luthor… Oberst-Gruppenführer Ra's al Ghul…I do hope that this is the only part of are operation that has not gone according to are design yes?"
Three men in high-ranking Hydra Empire uniforms walked up. Two of them, Vandel Savage and Ra's Al Ghul had wild beards while the man in the middle, a tall man with a bald head, Lex Luthor walked up before Lex smirked." I assure you…whoever these aliens are they are not smart enough to outwit us. Or at least me. But after all…some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.
These fools are being strung along by those damn aliens into thinking they are something they are not, but that's why we have to show them who the fools are yes everyone? I admit even I could not get everything figure out just yet but I did pick up traces of what match's Superman.
It's entirely possible that my Superman tried to call for help and this new one is another cousin of his, with his own team of fools. But even if this is delaying our plans I can't hate them for this.
After all, you can learn a lot from someone you hate. Getting the upper hand isn't about size. It is about divisiveness and speed. While I do believe I can forge a Lex suit stronger than the new arrivals with enough time, I think we can be more productive by attacking them in another way, from their minds. If done properly, we will be able to get a idea on their plans and thus be able to be even more effective in any follow up strikes eh?"
Palpatine saw Lex looked confident before he nodded." That does sound like an ideal way to crush these Rebels as swiftly as possible. Do you think you're up to the task… Cassandra Nova Xavier? "
The mad sister of Charles Xaiver giggled in response." And I was just getting bored! I think waking up these" patriots" from their silly dream sounds lovely. After all… Mandela said, 'People must learn to hate.' And, yes, I admit I'm paraphrasing here-leaving out a lot of lovey-dovey inclusion stuff-but he was right. People must learn to hate. I'm going to be their teacher."
"Good…but I won't just leave this task to you alone. The reports said that among the new threats was one who could control time. You will supervise this… "Mistress."
A middle-aged woman in a purple Victorian dress sipped some tea before a murderous look formed in her eyes." Oh no need to be so formal Sheeve you can call me Missy! See, I'm cutting to the chase, baby. I'm streamlinin'. I'm saving us ac-tu-al mi-nutes. But… if I get this right you want me to turn the intruders into good little slaves like all those Supermen eh? this could be rather fun if that game I had thought up with Mr. Nobody can work out quite nicely now that we have enough players for a fun game."
The Red Skull saw "Missy" walk up to Cassandra and smirked before he grasped his fist tightly." It's time even the most stubborn hero will have to bow to their masters! America is a weak, morally bankrupt country whose underpinning is being eaten away. Let's make sure even these fools realize how bankrupt they are. There won't be a place for any Jews to escape to in any world, any universe! This will at last be the true final solution!
Freedom is only for the one who rules! All others must be slaves! It is the fist that conquers, not worthless "inner peace"my dear Sinthea…play Chopin's Funeral March! That's my symbol of death... the sign of doom that awaits Captain America and Bucky when we make our next move!
Just make sure they are around to hear it! I won't let the Invaders, the Freedom Fighters, those" GI Joe's" and the rest of the vermin slip away to whatever hole these new "hero's" Came from!"
Ra's al Ghul nodded before adding," When A forest grows too wild, a purging fire is inevitable and natural. If the forest is the Multiverse...so be it.
Palpatine chuckled before he leaned back on his throne." Good...then let Operation Eisenfaust begin. No matter how much they struggle...they can not stop the Jahr Null ..." year zero"for the new true un corrupted culture from starting. I know just how to draw these rebels out. After all…we know what they really want. They desperately want to stop the final phase of are plan, so we will give them an impression that there is a weak spot in our defenses.
And in the end…they will find that they are mistaken about a great many things. Do you think you can make sure that the Kempeitai have the trap will be sprung properly… Oroku Ch'rell Saki? I would hope your plans were not as…childish as Krang's were."
From the shadows came out an armored man with blades all over his armor walked out. He had claws come out of his gauntlets before his eyes glowed red." My counterpart that obeyed Krang was a feeble fool, but I'll show these scum the wrath of the one true Shredder above all others!"
"Then make sure your able to prove those words." Palpatine uttered with disdain." We are at last at the final phase of the grand design."
He pressed a button to show an image of the capital of America, Washington DC. It showed a giant tower, the inter-dimensional tuning fork that was inciting the " Song of Nephilim.
The "Emperor" saw the energy coming out of the device before he smirked." Soon…the ultimate will of the dark side of the force will be realized. This will be the last rebellion, and all like the Jedi and these foolish "heroic super powered rebel scum" will be erased from this and every universe so that true balance will be brought to existence.
I caused the Jedi to walk to there deaths because there devotion to justice lead them to there undoing. After all...they refused to see humanity and the Force for what its true nature is. History has shown from age to age the human condition. They need a hero...a champion...a savior. But when salvation has come, they turn on that embodied hope. Why you may ask? Because to be saved is to be weak.
And to be weak, one must acknowledge that one exists in a constant state of need. That, in his natrual state, man is found to be lacking. Mankind resents its hero's because it needs them and because, more then the hero's themselves, man hates his own needlessness.
But we will give them a place were they don't have to face there weakness eh? Thus " heros" that keep acting according to the dictates of ignorant valor and misplaced courage will have to be show just how antiquated, old and lost they truley are.
Still...this" Multiverse" has brought some use though…eh my Dark Lords of the Sith?"
The others got on guard as four other identical Darth Vader's all walked out of the shadows and bowed while all saying," Yes my master."
Palpatine leaned back on his throne before he snickered." Even I can be…surprised by the differences between people across one universe from another. But in the end people have the same true nature, one bound by the darkness. And we will remind them all…before we put things right…eh "Captain Hydra?"
Sidious saw another man enter the throne room. He had a green uniform with a shield and just saluted." Hail Hydra! I am going to destroy everything those frauds ever built.
I am going to tear down these institutions that they used to give themselves power. I'm going to reduce all that they worked for, all they bled for, to a pile of rubble and ash - and from it we am going to make something better. We are going to make this a stronger universe, one forged by fire. Just tell me where to start my lord."
The Superior Spider Carnage then walked up next to Captain Hydra before laughing madly." Oh the party is going to begin soon...then everyone will get what they deserve."
The elite members of the" Legion of Doom" looked delighted at the new arrival's zeal, but as they plotted something even more Sidious, we leave them to go back to those who were plotting to topple them.
Spider-Noir and Nightwatcher guided the group through the sewers, and while there were a few scouts from the enemy, with the Spider sense and other skills the group had they were able to keep their cover.
After half an hour of going through smelly pathways, just as Mike was about to challenge that everyone knew what they were doing, Nightwatcher suddenly stopped and shrugged." Alright we are here."
Mike saw what seemed to be a random sewer wall before he let out an uneasy chuckle." So…I'm taking it that this wall is a fake wall?"
Nightwatcher nodded before uttering," Got to know the "password" or your going to be drowning in sewer waste. Just hold on."
The masked man tapped the wall like he was doing Morse code for a few seconds before he uttered," Cowabunga."
After a few seconds the bricks made a clicking sound, and folded back. The walls opened, and revealed a humanoid teenage mutant ninja turtle with a blue bandana over his eyes with two katana's sheathed on his back.
The turtle just eyed everyone before he smirked at Nightwatcher." Ralph…I knew you would make it back."
Nightwatcher casually pulled off his helmet to reveal he too was a turtle, with a red bandana over his eyes. This Ralph just smirked as he high fived the other Turtle." You think those jokers could crack my shell? As if Leo."
"Fair enough. But then what's with the red Foot ninja tagging along?"
Deadpool realized the other Turtles were looking at him before he laughed." Me? Oh I'm more of a hand kind of guy mister Overexposure!"
Ralph sighed before shrugging." He's more of a idiot then Casey but he knows who the enemy is."
Mike saw the two turtles' smirk before he shrugged." So, you guys are from the same…planet?"
"Not even the same universe…but we are brothers."
As two more turtles walked up, one with a purple bandana and a bo staff, and a forth one with an orange bandana and num-chuks Tyson raised an eyebrow." I don't know what catch phrases make sense across the Multiverse but you lost me dudes."
Leo looked around before he nodded." We are all brothers, but each of us is from another universe. I am Leonardo, the man you been with is Raphael, the purple turtle with the staff is Donatello, and then we have Michelangelo."
Mike smirked before he waved at the Turtle with his name." I see your father had good taste in names. Is, he another Turtle?"
Donatello winced before he looked down." We were four baby turtles that were exposed to radioactive ooze, transforming them us into humanoids. We were raised by are Master, Splinter.
In my universe, Splinter was Hamato Yoshi before the mutagen turned him into a humanoid rat. But in Leo's universe, Splinter was once the pet rat of ninja master Hamato Yoshi. We had different lives, but Splinter was there for all of us so we are honoring all of are masters so acting like we are brothers."
Raphael snickered before shrugging." Aside from that other group that just had no shot. Wanted to help them but they were all teenager and no ninja! Seems that Splinter only showed them online videos from freaking movie clips…that was a mistake."
Michelangelo let out an anxious chuckle before he shrugged." There were also the other guys that all acted like me that got shell shocked really quick. Its…not fun when everyone is acting like me yah know?"
Leonardo nodded before he grasped his fist tightly." Even if they were not as…focused as we are on are skills they still did not deserve what happened to them. The Shredder, well, all of are Shredders have been insane, but their new allies are…truly horror itself. You guys have a plan that can stop them?"
Calvin nodded before he walked up." We are doing everything we can to make sure it stops the enemy, but to do it right we have to know what you guys know."
Leo nodded before he motioned to his brothers. "Well, then you should talk to the others. Let's go."
Mike's group followed the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles up a pathway. They then went up to a wider, much more high-tech door before Leonardo pulled a lever. The door slid open, and bats flew out of the doorway.
A fat butler was seen as the door opened. The butler watched everyone before he eyed Calvin and nodded." I see your venture was productive Master Leo. So, I take it you with the S is a a friend of Master Clark?"
Calvin looked at his S before he shrugged." I know it might be hard to believe but I am Superman, from another universe. But I was a friend of Batman in my universe too. Are you named Alfred?"
Alfred smirked before he nodded." Don't worry sir, it's been a lot to get use to this week so it's not…to baffling a story to hear. But let's discuss more over tea. Welcome to the Bat Cave…but please clean your feet with the rug before entering. It may be war but we still need to have some manners eh?"
The group cleaned up a bit, and then went down a wide tunnel to enter the Bat Cave. Mike saw a wide room with a large computer, and a few other random objects like a defunct full-size mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex, an equally large U.S. penny and a Joker playing card.
He saw a wall with many bat-like suits in a glass case, and saw an older man sitting on a wheelchair near the computer next to a humanoid robot, another woman, and a man that looked like a mummy with goggles on his face before he widened his eyes." Oh wow…your Batman?"
The robot moaned before throwing out a crass," Seriously? Do bats look like me where you are from kid?"
The old man in the wheel chair put his hand up before he chuckled." I'm afraid I'm not the man your looking for. I am Niles Caulder, the " Chief" of the Doom Patrol. Here are my teammates Cliff Steele, the Robotman, Larry Trainor, the Negative Man, who has an entity of negative energy living inside of him, and Rita Far, the Elasti-Woman. And I see you meet Kay in the battle. Oh, sorry, are you Kay at the moment?"
To Mike's group's shock the blond woman from before was now a woman with black hair and just shrugged." Yah, the others are napping."
Uncle Sam nodded as he looked around." Glad you all are keeping it together Niles but we don't have time for small chat. Is Batman around? These boys got some info we need to keep fighting the good fight."
The Elasti-Woman giggled before replying with," It seems are batty friend was hunting down a lead. But you all found something helpful?"
Tyson looked around at the Batcave before he shrugged." Depends. First of all…what do you know about what the Nazi convention is planning?"
Robotman snickered before spitting out," That they want to kill everyone that won't kiss their ass."
"Fair point but, like, how? With an even bigger bomb? They retreated from the big Apple but sounds like they were far form out of men."
Captain America nodded before he looked at his men." It's true that the Red Skull and his allies are acting like they already won and that this is just a game to them…that there is no way we can win. All we really know is that the Nazi's are most concentrated on Washington DC…and not just because they want to keep the landmarks.
They put a new tower up over where the former Washington Monument was and won't let anyone near it. Also seems they been looking for someone but, not any of us. It…seems to be someone that the Skull's new backers want found because it's a problem for them."
Mike raised a eyebrow before he cleared his throat." I know it's a long shot but…was it someone named Ben Auro? He…he's my dad and he's been on the run from the IV&C for a while now."
Niles paused before he looked down." No…I don't recall anyone named that. There have been others that arrived here, but they quickly are caught by the Nazis and are never seen again. We have been trying to get information from those who are trying to get into the good graces of the leaders of the enemy.
At this moment, crime lords like Wilson Grant Fisk, Tavaroff, Hun of the Purple Dragon gang, Kraven the Hunter, Deacon Frost ,Silvio Manfredi, Tobias Whale, Lonnie Lincoln the " Tombstone" Ricardo Diaz, John McIver or the" Bushmaster", Oswalda Cobblepot or "The Penguin," Mister Negative, and even the "Joker" are about to gather to present an offering to be allowed to join the Nazis.
But Batman was trying to hunt down one of the grunts to get information out that could help break that meeting, and from there get into the capital without detection. As far as I heard that was going well, yes Alfred?"
The Butler looked around before sighing." I did not hear news that pointed otherwise, correct Master Drake?"
The group saw someone in bright red and green with a mask on his face walk up before smirking."
" Holy cliffhangers, Alfred! You can't get away from Batman that easy!"
Alfred cleared his throat before uttering. "Easily."
"Easily."
"Good grammar is essential, Robin."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Mike and Tyson looked at each other before looking at Robin as Tyson cleared his throat." No offense but Batman was a guy big on stealth right? Just…this dudes outfit seems to clash at that kind of thing."
As Robin looked insulted Alfred sighed." I understand, but you must know that Master Drake hear is from another universe where he and Master Bruce are a bit more, direct in their approach. It was rather confusing when we found ourselves with a Bat family which each member being from a different universe, even more so when Barbara said she was my niece. But, we are making due."
Mike saw another Robin, a woman in a bat suit, another woman with a blade, a man with a more high-tech Bat suit, a woman with a batman like suit with red hair attached to the helmet, and a man with a blue helmet over his face before he nodded." Hey…in crazy times got to do whatever you can to hold on to something. Fair enough, but just how long do you think it will take Batman to find this rat?"
Everyone heard an alarm before Alfred saw the Bat Computer and shrugged." Oh, about now it would seem."
The waterfall in the distance opened up, before a bat shaped car shoot out of the waterfall. It casually swerved around to park in what was clearly its usual spot before the" Batmobile" stopped.
After only a few moments, a man in black armor with a cape and bat like ears on his helmet leapt out of the car. The caped crusader glanced around at all the new arrivals before he narrowed his eyes at Alfred." I told you to let me know about any new arrivals."
"My apologies master Bruce, but the line seemed to be jammed. Besides…Rogers vouched for everyone hear. They did seem to be the reason you were able to go on your hunt undisturbed."
This Batman looked at Mike and the others before he narrowed his eyes." I'll be the judge on that. You…you look like Superman. You're here to finish what Clark started?"
"That's the intent." Calvin answered." I'm Calvin Ellis, leader of this group of rebels, and we are all here to make sure this world is not enslaved, along with every other world. Right now we are trying to find out a way to get to the tower in DC, and I heard that you were following a lead that could help us get in?"
Batman looked around before he shrugged." That's what I am about to find out. It is true that time's not on are side, and Scarlet Spider did help with this already. Very well, if you can help then so be it.
I did track down an informant that worked with both the Penguin and the Kingpin, someone that would do whatever he was asked as long as he was paid enough. He's sold out co workers, innocent people, anyone if it meant he bought himself more time. He's stuck to the shadows to avoid attention but his luck's run out.
He's Bugsy Aalto Raszkowski…and one way or another he's going to tell me everything he knows so we can get to the truth."
Mike snickered before retorting with," Sounds like the guy has it all coming. Well, can't say I feel to, wait, huh?"
Batman had the trunk of the Batmobile open as a voice shouted out," Truth? You can't handle the truth bat brain! Besides...first rule of politics and business, never let the truth get in the way of a good story."
and then threw out someone inside. He was a thin balding man who's legs and arms were chained in webs that seemed to come from another Spiderman, who swung in behind the Batmobile.
But his blue eyes and nose caused Mike to feel a chill down his spine. As soon as this Bugsy landed on the ground he yelled out," Hey watch it you could have broke my leg! AH!"
Batman at once hurled Bugsy up before hissing out," I'll break a lot more then my leg if you don't come clean with everything you know!"
The Scarlet Spider landed before he snickered." Listen up creep, you may have spun enough lies to be a human onion but we are going to peel it all away to get to what you know!"
"Personally I think I'm more of a avocado,because, hey!"
As Batman hurled Bugsy around Mike looked right at the man's eyes, and turned pale at seeing the man looked like he had some rotting teeth, and some that seemed punched out.
Leonardo was one of the many who noticed before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle paused." What is it? You know this man?"
Mike saw Bugsy looked confused at all the new arrivals before he grasped his fist tightly." I…he…he…looks just like my dad!"
Tyson snorted before adding," If he let himself go a ton."
Doctor Who took out her Sonic Screwdriver before she nodded." I can confirm that while it's not a precise match, the two do have matching DNA. Bugsy Aalto Raszkowski…is indeed Ben Auro's counterpart in this universe."
Deadpool made a mocking gasp before shouting out," What a twist!"
Bugsy saw Batman raise an eyebrow before he looked at Mike and shrugged." What are you looking at kid? Wait…that one night with Roxy…I was not that drunk was I?"
"He's not your child Bugsy." Calvin cut in with sharply." But you two are bound by fate. We need your help, and the fate of everything depends on you being quick about it."
Bugsy looked at all the glares coming his way before letting out a uneasy chuckle." Oh yah? Well what's in it for me?"
Mike let out a pained sigh before he facepalmed." This…is going to be a drag."
Authors Notes: Well we have another chaotic chapter today so lets get started. Doctor Who is indeed from Doctor Who, but the one taking part in this is the "Fugitive Doctor".
The "Missy" is also from Doctor Who, and is the female form of the" Master". Still feel annoyed at how they just threw away her whole redemption arc without any real explanation even if maybe it was explained in some book.
Cobra Commander, and the GI Joes are of course from the G.I. Joe series. I admit I was never a big fan of them but , did feel like they fit for this arc. Also Iron Claw was from the G.I. Joe Extreme series.
The Gromaides is a boss from the Contra series.
Krang is from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And of course the Turtles are all from there series, but in this arc the Leonardo is the one from the 2003 cartoon, the Donatello is from the 1987 Cartoon, the Mikey is from the 2012 cartoon, and Raphael is from the 2007 movie, which also means he's the one from the original movies as well.
The Shredder is the one from the 2003 series, still the most competent of all the Shedders.
Sinestro is from the Green Lantern corps along with the members of his Sinestro Corps.
The Hobgoblin and Normon Osborn are from Spiderman, mostly inspired by the 90's cartoon versions though with Normen it's going to be a little bit of all his versions for him.
Spiderman Noir is the one from Shattered Dimensions. Scarlet Spider is mostly based on the comic version with a few things form the time he was in the 90's show.
John Stewart and Jessica Cruz are Green Lanterns mostly inspired from the Comic versions.
Deadpool is of course from, himself, and Cassandra Nova is a mix of how she was in Deadpool 3 and in the X-men comics.
The Doom Patrol are all based on the versions from the HBO MAX series.
Uncle Sam and the "Freedom Fighters" are all from the DC comics that fought in Earth X.
Meanwhile Captain America and his Invaders are all based off the early days of World War Two like the original human Torch, Toro.
Red Skull and Sinthea Shmidt are from Captain America as well, though " Sin" is mostly how she was in the Marvel Midnight Sun Game.
The Hydra Cap is the one from the" Secret Empire" event.
Meanwhile Vandal Savage and Ra's al Ghul are from DC as well.
John Smith is from The Man in the High Castle series.
Darth Vader and Darth Sidious are of course from Star Wars.
Meanwhile with Batman, again his " Bat family " is all from different universe's. The Dick Robin is the Adam West live action one, but Tim Drake is from the 90's Animated series…while Batgirl is from the Batman and Robin movie, Katana is from the Beware the Batman series, and Jason Todd is the one from the Arkham Knight game, while Terry is of course from Batman Beyond. Batwoman is Katherine Rebecca "Kate" Kane, the one based on the Arrow show played by Ruby Rose before being replaced by Ryan Wilder because of tension with the staff.
Batman himself and Alfred are the versions from the Batman: Caped Crusader Amazon Prime series. Eh…might as well make the most of Multiversal madness eh?
Lastly well, Bugsy is indeed an original creation, I suppose his last name is based off someone in my Zilos Chronicles series lol.
Well, I know it's a lot of sides introduced today and maybe not what one would expect so far from a World War two arc, but hope it sets the stage for how chaotic the battle is going to be with all the plotters trying to out plot each other to be the " employee of the month" to Sieg. Hope you liked what you saw enough to leave a review, and as always thanks for the reviews so far and see you next time.
Oh...just to make sure there's no misunderstandings no matter how many fascists are bad guys just want to make it clear, Nazi's are bad. Maybe its stating the obvious but well...chaotic times and all, sigh.
