Chapter 306: Declaration of Independence Of The True Men of Tomorrow.
While it was easy for Mike and the others in his group to see the "Gan Knot" world as one just full of monsters trying to kill everyone, there were people who had thoughts of there own, and some of those people were trying to keep in touch with the masses to keep things under control.
At the moment the most" normal" of the high command of the Hydra Empire was making a public announcement, John Smith. After getting a nod from the camera man he declared," My fellow Americans.
The last few days have been difficult for us all. Heinrich Himmler was a father to our people. We mourn his loss. But with his passing comes an opportunity for rebirth and renewal.
A change has come to the Western states, and with it, a chance to take our divided land and bring it back together. A great transformation is coming.
Soon, we will be one nation again and no one will be able to weigh down the true master race ever again."
The camera man then gave a thumbs up." And clear. Let's wrap it up, everyone."
"Thanks, Ted."
"Great speech sir."
John looked at a small blond girl, his child before he smirked." How did I do?"
His daughter smiled and cooed out," You were wonderful, Daddy."
He pat her on the head before a woman with blond hair cleared her throat." Reichsfuhrer, our meeting with high command - is about to begin, so - John, I need a moment in private."
John saw her eyes before looking at his staff." Give us a moment."
The soldier to his right gave a salute." Of course."
He then looked at the woman body guard before his wife uttered." Stay with Bridget, girls."
"Yes, Mother."
As his children went off John narrowed his eyes." Sorry, Helen, I haven't had the chance to get back to the apartment since the plane touched down. So what is it?"
His wife looked around before she winced." Two SS came by the apartment this morning. They tore out a rat's nest of wires and microphones from our walls, our phones and,"
"They were acting on my orders, Helen."
John uttered bluntly, causing Helen to nod." Are you sure they got everything?"
"Hoover is no longer a problem."
"Oh But I'm not just thinking about Hoover."
"Relax, I showed Führer Palpatine how our actions were being distorted by those who wanted to sabotage us, there won't be a misunderstanding again. Now are family will be where it should be."
"John, it's not just that its, huh? Amy no!"
Helen saw her older daughter Jennifer run up before John cleared his throat." Sweetheart. It's, it's time for bed. Come on, I'll tuck you in in a minute."
His child Jennifer spat in his direction before jabbing her finger at him." You, you killed them. The Negroes, the Jews, all those people. What happened to them? I need to hear it from you!"
John looked around before in a hushed voice he uttered," Okay, uh, they, they they sent them to camps."
"And what did they do in the camps?"
"They forced them to work."
"Then what? Where are they now?"
"They're gone."
"You killed them…you were part of it daddy."
"You could have escaped to the Neutral Zone.
"Yeah, we could have, yes."
"But we didn't. So you joined the Party instead. I did it because I well, I believed in it. Not at first, but later I-I - I believed in all of it."
"The camps where they killed - the Jews and the Negroes?"
"All of it. They told us it was necessary. I didn't ask any questions. I didn't even think about those people until…Oh…until we became those people."
His child looked at him with disgust as she pointed at his medal." You did all that so you could get a gold star!?"
"We didn't do it for this. We did it to keep you alive. Yes I know how you must see us, but everything we have was bought with other people's lives. You were our children. Our babies."
"How many were there? In America. In Europe, in Africa, how many?"
"I-I don't - I don't know."
"And they're gonna do it all over again, aren't they? And Daddy's gonna be in charge, isn't he?"
"I don't know."
"I don't ever want to be like you."
"Listen there, there is,"
Everyone heard a knock before a gruff voice uttered," Reichsfuhrer I don't mean to interrupt but a word, if I may?"
John tensed up before putting his arms over his child." No, its fine…we were just finished talking."
A Hydra storm trooper walked in before saluting him." Your wife's minder, Agent Martha Stroud, has disappeared, sir. She was last seen guarding your wife at the Davenport Women's Clinic. She never returned to her post. Or her apartment. Staatspolizei believe that she's been murdered by the Resistance, sir. Your wife may have been in contact with them without even realizing it."
John eyed his wife carefully before he cleared his throat." Thanks for informing me. I want you to escort my child hear to a secure area, make sure no one gets to her while I, finish things up here understood?"
"Of course."
The guard left with his child, before John pressed a button to lock the doors before he narrowed his eyes." Helen? Take a seat."
His wife saw from his eyes that it was not a request before she sat down." Helen, I want to ask you a question. And I want you to answer truthfully. Have you ever been approached by the Resistance?"
His wife sighed before with bitterness she uttered," Yes. Julia Mills, you remember her. That day at the department store. She showed you doing horrible things."
"After we just cleared up one threat trying to bring us down with lies…you fall for someone else's lies?"
"I saw you kill all those people John! What you did was far more then just protecting are home!"
"Julia Mills is a terrorist, Helen. But that was the truth. But if I do what the Furer wants, he will revive are son Thomas."
"What? Your…you gone mad."
"I saw the clone chamber, I saw our son! I will be rewarded for what was asked from me!"
"And he will hate you for what you did!"
"He will be alive to hate us! He's gonna hate us, but he's gonna be alive, - and I can live with that."
"Well, I can't, I can't. I can't live with that. Thomas is dead. Amy isn't ours anymore. Her mind belongs to the state. And Jennifer, well, Jennifer has rejected us. We had three chances and we wasted them all."
"Well because we are going to be on the winning side we will have as many chances as we take to get it right! You're saying you have a chance to see your son again and you're not gonna take it?"
"I wouldn't want him to see what we have become."
"We become winners Hellen, that's all that matters! You took enough pity on the scum to be infected by their worthless ideals? And worst…you infected are child with the same dreck?
All those fools who had compassion have been wiped out, and we are on the verge of crushing all the foolish" Freedom Fighters" once and for all. Are you really going to throw everything away because your feeling guilty?"
All of a sudden a tremor nearly shock them off their feet before an alarm showed an image of Castle Bat being blasted into the Situmpe Wall barrier. As the barrier shattered Helen winced." John…don't you see that there are always consequences! I was swept up in the glamor, but then I saw how angry people looked. No matter how many death machines the Reich has…it's still not enough to keep down all the people you wronged. I've seen the plans, John.
The plans for the camps. How did we get here? You and me, how did we get here? This thing that we have been a part of it is a crime."
"It's only a crime if we lose, because history, and justice is written by the winners! Some rats may have stuck around but this was there last act of defiance! We will find who has been leaking information to the enemy and."
"It was me John."
As her husband froze she looked at him with grim resolve."
I made arrangements for the girls. As long as they survive, this can all burn down."
Before his rage could burst the solider form before ran back in." Reichsfuhrer!
Führer Palpatine and the Red Skull both want to wipe out the resistance once and for all. The 500th Airborne is ready to deploy. The Luftwaffe has recommended we launch."
John saw his wife looked tense before he narrowed his eyes." Well if it's been ordered, we will obey. Get my wife secure, we will have to reunite with the children later."
As Helen tensed up John smirked." You and the rebels alike will all see what really matters in the end" Dear", if you see the light, you might even be given mercy. But, before that I have to clean up this mess and show these scum who the master race is once and for all."
He looked bitterly at his wife before going to prove her wrong, but little did he know that his enemies were preparing to prove him wrong even harder.
As we now swing back to Mike's group after shutting down the Batman Who Laugh's attempt to wipe them out.
Despite how little time they had to waste, most of the group still could not just stand to let the survivors of Arkham City be left to rot so they did what they could to free the prisoners.
While some were tortured so bad and starved so much that they could hardly digest a piece of bread without throwing up, those like Doctor Who and the magic users among them, and even Doctor Doom helped to heal those who were not already dying. Mike tried to reunite some kids with their families, and at the moment had just reunited a parent with their daughter along with Tyson, Mark, and Eve.
Uncle Sam and Captain America walked up to the curly haired man before Sam smirked." You only been here a short time kid but you done good."
Mike sighed as he looked at the kids." Let's just say, I know how much it sucks to lose your family. Just, hope we can do what we can to prevent anyone else from going through that."
Captain America nodded before he looked around." That's how I felt when Dr. Abraham Erskine died in front of me from a Hydra spy.
I wanted to make sure no one would die because of me, but you try and carry a weight too heavy and it will crush you Mike. We just got to make sure the choices we make matter."
"Fair enough cap, so we know what the game plan is?"
Calvin nodded as he flew down." In some ways what comes from here is real simple. We get to the "Tunning Fork" that took the place of the Washington Monument and sabotage it in the way that will give us a chance to stop Sieg from having total mastery over the Multiverse. The hard part is getting to there without the enemy knowing are play, and sabotaging it."
Mike took a deep breath before he cracked his neck." The Batman Who Laughs was already going to call Sieg right? How long can we keep this planet jammed?"
"At best, a few more hours."
"Well…I been holding back so I can use my full power for when it counts so sounds like this is that time. The Batman Who Laughs may be one crafty asshole but he already played the mental card and the self-destruct card so now he has nothing left but to get a really hard kick in the face."
"That might be safe to feel normally, but don't underestimate the resources the IV have. Just be prepared for anything. But…at the very least we can misdirect where the traps my spring. They expect us to come in where the hole in there "Aryan Wall" is, so we throw them off by appearing through the back door."
Tyson raised an eyebrow before he shrugged." So, what, we like, blast a whole in the earth and just burst out of the ground? I know this Earth is some planet smashed together from a bunch of universe's but, still seems risky."
"Not quite." The Batman from the same universe as the Joker uttered as he jumped into the area." The Joker explained to us an underground railroad that Lex and the others had to quickly send troops to other bases. We can get in that way."
Tyson saw the Joker smirking despite being in a force-field created by Jessica Cruise's Green Lantern ring before he cleared his throat." Yah, I know you guys may know the clown a bit longer but should we really trust the guy who's not even honest about his backstory?"
Batman sighed before he looked at his arch enemy." I agree that normally trusting the Joker would not be a sane idea. However, the one thing consistent about the Joker is that he won't stand being betrayed or replaced. I won't say he's a changed man but, his desire for payback is real. With all that's on the line its worth the risk."
Mike saw the Caped Crusader looked serious before he shrugged." Well if the clown expert gives it a go then it's worth a shot. So, we fight through wave to wave of Nazi's, get to the tower and rig it so Sieg's endgame gets sabotaged? So we need a key or something?"
Calvin chuckled as he looked around." Well, are "tech support" will make sure it is working but the only key is the counterpart of your dad."
Everyone looked to the right, to see Bugsy was rapidly devouring a ham sandwich with the teeth he had left. The informant saw Mike was looking at him before he let out an uneasy chuckle." What, break time is over already? C'mon on guys maybe you do this as your job but I feel like my heart's about to run out of my god damn throat!"
Mike let out an uneasy chuckle as he walked up to the counterpart of his dad." Sorry but not time to "get back to normal" yet."
"Eh...that's fine normal kind of sucked for me anyway but is the fighting starting soon?"
"Yah. That other thing we need you to do? It's coming up fast."
"Look Mike…I don't think even the best smooth talkers around can trick those kind of guys twice."
"You don't have to do that, all you really have to do is press a few buttons that are guys tell you to."
"The hell is this? I really am just the guy who gets shot at eh?"
"It's not like that. I'll be real with you but I'm warning you it's a lot to take in."
"Kid…in a week I saw talking turtles, the Statue of Liberty come alive, legit demons come out of the ground and all kind's of crap I thought was just stuff that could only be nightmares so anything goes at this point."
Mike took a deep breath before he shrugged." You think that, but there's always something. Alright here we go. The reason we need you is because the thing we need you to press only works with your face."
"This a joke?" Bugsy blurted out." I'm a nobody…why would it only work for me unless that Joker prick set this up as one of his punchlines?"
"I know how crazy it sounds, but the reason it only works for your face, is because the big boss of all the Nazi's here, beyond the Joker, the Goblin, the Red Skull, and even the Führer and all the other Nazi's, is you, from another universe, a man named Sieg "V-Day" Elgan. He calls himself a lot of other names but in the end the biggest asshole of all time is the one that fits most of all."
Bugsy nearly choked on the drink he was having before he saw Mike was serious." I'm not drunk already right? You're saying that the person who is rich enough to take over the world, is men from, another life or something?"
Mike looked around before replying with a grim," Depends, would you be ok with being rich if the cost was killing everyone else, including every other you from every other earth?"
Bugsy let out a tense chuckle in response." Look Mike I'm still getting a grip on what other universe's even mean so we have to really go over just what,"
He saw Mike looked deadly serious before he cleared his throat." You know before anything else I have a question. This other guy…did he whack your dad?"
Mike winced before he looked down." Not sure…but he killed my brother just for being related, had my mom devoured by something that made those Lizard men earlier look like cuddy cats, and wanted everything to make anyone related to them suffer just for being inferior. So, I ask again, you want to be rich bad enough to burn down everyone else?"
Bugsy looked around before he gulped." So, this Sieg guy is the one bossing all the others? And its all to kill, everyone? What's the point of having the most money if you have nothing to spend it on?"
"He's crazy enough to make the Joker seems sane, that's the best I can say. "
Bugsy sighed before he leaned back." Damn it, making it big is all I ever wanted, but I wanted to make it big and enjoy it without being shot because I pissed too many people off to be able to revel in it yah know? So based on what you said, sounds like this Sieg will want to wack me just for existing eh?"
"That's the impression we been getting man." Mike answered grimly." To be honest, the only reason your still alive is that you have not been important enough for him to know about you."
"Hah…to think being a loser had some perks eh? Guess it's true. You'll be judged by what you succeed at boy, not by what you attempt. Still, if someone like me can screw up this guy's gig then that will make him look like the loser eh? I might not have this Sieg's wealth, but I seen enough to know that reputation takes a lifetime to build and only seconds to destroy. But what happens if I pull this off eh?"
Mike took a deep breath before he looked up." Well, either after this we take down Sieg, or everyone he finds "unprofitable" is going to get killed. But at least this way your death won't be a slow one eh?"
Bugsy suddenly looked very tired before he looked outside the city." Well…that's something at least. So I just have to press the stuff you guys tell me to do?
I been just pressing the switch's guys have told me to do for a long time now, at least this time it might help someone. But if it's more important than the treasure in any vault then it sure sounds like it's going to be guarded."
"Leave that to us." Mike answered as he threw out a thumbs up." We are going to give these guys hell."
"No offense but even though you guys did pull some seriously crazy stuff back in the Asylum, sounds like the whole god damn army is going to be gathering around their base."
"Maybe." Calvin uttered." But we do have a whole god damn army to back us up. We just wanted to wait till we knew the right time to reveal it. But that time is now. Master Qui Gon…tell them they have the go ahead." Bugsy nearly jumped off his seat as he saw a flash in the sky, before the USS Dauntless, the Outlander, the Normandy SR-2, the Serenity, The Battlestar Galactica, The Ebon Hawk, Home One, and a few more warped in over the planet, to start engaging the Star Destroyers over the planet.
Bugsy saw all kinds of ships he never saw before come out before he wiped some sweat off his brow." It really is a war of the worlds…and I'm going to win it if I press the right button?"
"It's not that you will press a button, and everything blows up." Calvin replied." It's to change things so that when Sieg does tried and go for his endgame, if you and a few others pressed the right buttons and we can keep it from the IV …it will sabotage things when it counts, and at last put this madness to a end. Are friends Rachet and Clank here will help you through it."
Bugsy raised an eyebrow as the humanoid cat and the small robot walked up before Clank nodded." To be a bit more precise…the key point is the Meta Terminal. These towers are causing an anomaly that is causing these worlds to fuse together, and to cause universes to collapse on each other. I will help you do what needs to be done Mister Bugsy, no matter what."
Anakin walked up before he looked at the ships in the distance." I'll lead the assault in the air and keep Palpatine distracted. I know how he thinks…and he's manipulated enough people for a lifetime."
Calvin saw how dire the Jedi looked before he sighed." Just be careful Skywalker…the reports have told us that this version of Darth Sidious has managed to break many counterparts of yourself."
Anakin nodded before he grasped his fist tightly." I admit I was grateful that Master Qui Gon was around to keep me from being swayed by his tricks. The man likes to act like he's the most cunning man around, but he does not even like people to know his first name is Sheev. I want to free my counterparts that suffered because of him."
Obi-Wan patted his fellow Jedi on the shoulder before he nodded." Just be mindful of the force brother…we must not let Padme or anyone else suffer to his aims."
As the two prepared to take off Bugsy saw them run off before he gulped." So…when's this all going down?"
Everyone heard explosions in the distance before Mike looked solemn." Right now man…might be the last break we get till this is over."
Bugsy let out an uneasy chuckle before he shrugged." Might as well screw them before they can screw us so let's do this."
Sam nodded as he looked around." Like Roosevelt said…the motto of war is: "Let the strong survive; let the weak die." The motto of peace is: "Let the strong help the weak to survive." Today…we prove which one is stronger.
The value of truth and sincerity is always stronger than the value of lies and cynicism, we have to prove that it's real everyone. A selfish victory is always destined to be an ultimate defeat, no matter how much power these Nazi's have gathered…that's something I know is still a fact."
Mike nodded as he looked at his friends." Guess we got to make sure we play the right cards to make sure all these egos crash into each other. After what we seen…should not be too hard. Let's go!"
Deadpool twirled his guns around before he laughed." Hell yah time to storm the capital! Oh…oh wait…not that way damn it. Er…this time the Nazi's are already their ok guys? Just…don't take it the wrong way."
"Who are you talking to?" Spider-Gwen replied, causing Deadpool to laugh." Oh…no worries they got the message."
Deadpool just ran off with the others as the invasion to decide the battle over the corrupt Washington DC begun. As they did their attackers prepared to counter attack, even if they had not decided just how that was going to be just yet.
At the moment we turn to the throne room of the Eclipse Super Star Destroyer, were Palpatine was now seeing all the ships of the Multiversal Rebel Alliance enter. The leader of the Hydra Empire saw the ships starting to engage his own ships before he snickered." So at last the Rebels show there hand…they are even more desperate then we assumed.
Still…the fact that they were able to gain a footnote on this world when we control it so utterly is…embarrassing. We either have traitors or fools among us."
The Red Skull walked up before he sneered out," Worst Führer Palpatine, it was both. After Arkham City was infiltrated, I went over all the transmissions, and found some that were misdirecting information! Inquisitor Reva Sevander, Asaji Ventress, and Qumir were both misleading troops!"
Sidious snickered before he leaned back." So those two were even dumber then I thought. Lord Vader, bring them in."
After a few moments, two Darth Vader's marched in, with two black skinned woman and an Asian man with a helmet to his side. Palpatine snickered as he saw how tense the three lesser dark side users looked. "Mae-ho "Mae" Aniseya…Asajj Ventress...Fennec Shand, Shin Hati, Reva Sevander… Qimir…you all thought rather highly of yourselves if you thought you could keep your treachery from me."
The Asian man snickered before uttering," Qimir is not my real name. I have no name…you can just call me…Sith! So get ready to…AHH!"
Palpatine snapped his fingers before a burst of lighting came out and zapped Qimir into one of the pillars in the throne room. As the younger man twitched Palpatine sighed." I am the Sith you twit. You're just a failure that was allowed to be alone for too long. I thought you had some potential as an apprentice to Darth Plagueis…but now it's clear you were just a waste of a side project he got bored of."
"No…I AM THE FUTURE!"
The left most Vader took out his lightsaber before uttering," You all were warned what defeat would bring! We will tolerate your weakness no longer."
The woman Reva tried to remain defiant before she spat back," Your wrong…we will tolerate your weakness no longer! You thought you were so mighty that the death of my family meant nothing to you! But I wanted to see you come so close to reaching your dream, so that you could feel the despair I felt!"
Ventress nodded before the white bald woman took out two red lightsabers." Yes...all the pain I went through will be returned double fold!"
The woman named Mae nodded as she took out some knives." My coven will at last be avenged, with the power of many! We have unfinished business. Attack me with all your strength."
She, Shin Hati, Asajj Ventress, Fennec, and Reva all charged at their former master in the blink of an eye. As Palpatine saw many lightsabers and knives coming for him he narrowed his eyes." If you insist."
The explosion of his fury caused the thrown blades to be blown back before he unleashed a barrage of force lighting so intense, that the moment it hit the two black women their bodies exploded instantly.
As the charred remains of Reva and Mae landed on the ground, Vader instantly slashed Qimir, only for his light saber to bounce off the fully enclosed and battle-scarred helmet with a thin eye slit and decorations resembling teeth in a predatory grin on his head before his target laughed." Mindless fool this Sith cortosis helmet can't be sliced through with your lightsaber! It's proof I am the superior acolyte that will see the, GUH! "
The moment Vader saw the result of his slash, he force choked Qimir so hard that the helmet crushed his eyes. As the weaker member of the Dark Side of the Force fell to the ground with a broken head Vader sneered out," All to easy."
Palpatine saw Mae's head roll over near him with a shocked look before he snickered." If not for all this Multiverse business such petty dogs would not even have gotten this close. No matter…they were easy enough to root out."
A new snicker cut across the throne room before the Batman Who Laughs walked out of the shadows." I'm glad you thought unrooting spies was such an easy task, for it would have been a problem if it was anything but. At least we can focus on exterminating the rebels without delay gentlemen."
Palpatine saw the Batman Who Laughs walk up before he sighed." If you're here…then that means that the will of the dark side doubts are victory?"
"Not doubts." The Batman from the Negaverse retorted." Just…was curious. The rebels who are attacking you, are ones who managed to elude the most powerful among us. They are not hear randomly…the fact that they care more then anything that we can't alert HQ proves that."
Palpatine glanced at the tower below his ship before he sneered." They seek to deny us are ultimate victory I take it?"
"Yes…but the fact that they did not just appear, attack the tower and flee seems to indicate its more than just simple demolition. They were also determined not to have their plans be pried out vie the mind readers. The most logical solution…is it's not just this tower but some sort of chain effect."
Palpatine nodded before he leaned back." And if we uncover this plot…the glory goes to us among all of the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation."
"Indeed. I have had experience with some of these rebels so…I have a " game for them " that's about to take off. Just keep the rest of the rebel scum out of the way so they don't interfere. This world…this" Good War" is making " Heros" run right out of this planet's very core.
But the fact that this event is a crises that ripples across the Multiverse is why its one of the Gan Knots in the first place. It seems that in many universe's, this war is what caused humanity to believe they were bigger then what they were…and thus its ending as a failure will caused despair that will vibrate across the Multiverse till it collapses."
Palpatine nodded as he looked at the plane the was occupying below." So many fools that cling to the terms good and evil to define them. But there are no such things…there is just power…and those who lack it. For their entire existence, men have longed to be gods. But it's time the weak submit to reality once and for all.
Yes… All power comes from outside the weak. Inferiors keep endangering their own lives and the lives of others through poor decisions and reckless behavior, and simple in ability to engineer the reality of their ambitious dreams. They are like children, crying in frustration because they do not comprehend their own limitations. These weaklings need structure...to be shown their place in society.
It is left to the wise and powerful to provide that structure in order of civilization to survive ant thrive in the universe. Those who cannot...or will not accept that order are far more important then their own selfish desires must be removed from society before they can inflict any lasting damage. First, the must know that all power comes outside the weak. The weak have never been known to believe in themselves or in their ability to wield power.
Next is the face of authority. The weak live as in a dream. All their thoughts, actions and urges are covered by the face and the voice that controls this dream. The face and voice they have learned to obey. The face and voice of authority. Next is the law of fear. A consequence of the first two tenets is that the weak live in fear.
The mere suggestion of violence from one in authority is enough to inspire obedience. How can one who does not have faith in his own power stand against the power of another it is impossible. And lastly. the Force is the ultimate means to gain authority over the weak. The weak do not understand any true power, but they will before the end of the day.
So let's quell the final rebellion of the powerless scum once and for all. Heh…I can sense…a younger Anakin among those coming. We can place this game one more time my ever foolish apprentice, is that not right lord Vader?"
The Vader in the room was motionless, even as a screen of himself was shown before he uttered," As you wish my Master."
Palpatine laughed as he had lighting crackle around his finger tips." And lastly, how is the rate of completion coming along for the project Osborn?"
A image appeared that showed Osborn among many other elite scientists. The Green Goblin just smirked as the pillar behind him glowed brighter and brighter each second." We don't want to rush this supreme leader, since the whole point is to purge the weakness of the parts of those beforehand. But the situation is secure here at the Pentagon.
I have the Leader, Doctor Sivana, Hank Pym as Ultron, Arnim Zola, Leopold James Fitz, Baxter Stocken, M.O.D.O.K., and the rest of the Intelligencia smoothing over all possible complications. Are final trump card will be ready for when it's needed to be played."
The Sith lord saw a thin man with a large brain with green skin, a half man half robot, a humanoid fly, a man with a face in his chest and a robotic head, and another Human mutate-cyborg with tiny limbs and a big head all doing experiments before he smirked." At last…the final demise of the Jedi, and all who believe in ideologies as foolish as them is at hand. Serpentor, Savage, have the fleet attack, and take no prisoners."
He, Red Skull, and The Batman Who Laughs begun to command the counterattack.
But Mike 's group was moving too fast to even see the fireworks. Despite their reservations, Joker was telling the truth about there being a underground railroad from underneath Arkham City to the capital.
As Mike emerged in a station that said" Wonder city" he saw a whole underground city and raised an eyebrow." Damn guess you own me Tyson Joker seems to be telling the truth. Sure as hell never heard of a whole city underneath the capital."
The older Batman looked around before he sighed." Well, in the world the League of Shadows was from, they already had a whole city planned to replace the" heathens." It might have started after DC was burnt to the ground in the war of 1812. This Wonder City is the start of that."
They walked past a broken robot before a light came on and a voice uttered," This world is doomed. Cities like Gotham and Washington DC will grow to resemble hell, breaking through the sidewalk, continuing up into the sky. Structures will grow to blot out the sun.
And the people who live in them will be choked by the pollution they create. Eventually, when no space remains, this world will die, struggling for breath as man's mistakes nail the coffin shut. But this doesn't have to be your future, Gotham.
There is a better way. Behind this wall is mankind's chance for survival. A glimpse at a future based on an amazing discovery. A discovery that will allow Gotham to rise like Lazarus, becoming a beacon of hope for this world. Are you intrigued?
Then step closer. Witness the future of Gotham City. The heart of Gotham's future beats with Lazarus technology. The power of Lazarus us pumped into every street, every home, providing clean, safe energy.
Mechanical guardians will serve you, watch over you, and where necessary, protect you from the worst of mankind's sins. But most importantly, our beautiful world will survive. Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to present to you the future... Wonder City!"
Joker just rolled his eyes before hissing out," Maybe my humor is not for everyone but the League of Windbags really thinks everyone is buying what they are selling."
People heard noises before they saw a soldier in a American outfit run up. He gave a salute as he looked around." William B.J. Blazkowicz reporting sir. Things are moving fast but Operation: Eisenfaust is on track!"
Mike heard explosions above before he shrugged at Blazkowicz." Well time for them to learn all of their products are being recalled! Let's go!"
Everyone quickly charged out of Wonder City to emerge in Washington DC. They saw countless Storm Troopers, Cybermen, Foot Ninja and Stone Soldiers, Cylon robots, Leauge of Shadows and Hand assassins, Cobra Troopers, Übersoldaten soldiers, AT-ST's, TIE fighters,Sentinels, and spaceships firing in all directions, but also saw their target in site, the inter-dimensional tuning forks fusing and directing the universe in between a Lex Corp building and a Oscorp building.
The giant round grey tank with an eye, the Technodrome was in the right, while the giant black ship that was the flagship for the Legion of Doom was above before Tyson narrowed his eyes before he shrugged." Well I'll be damned…we are right near the target this just might."
An alarm sound was heard before a giant energy wall sprung up all around the tuning fork. The Black Panther just rolled his eyes before he rubbed his head." Sure walked right into that one."
They heard a burst of laughter in the distance before the hologram of the Batman Who Laughs appeared in front of them all." Did you really think it mattered where you came from when we monitor every inch of the area?"
Mike shrugged as he flashed a bitter grin," Maybe we wanted to keep you guessing where your face is getting caved in eh?"
"Ah…an immature taunt from a child…that's the best you can do eh? You always been out of your depth Michael Auro…and there's nowhere left to run.
You thought making it to the Alliance could save you…only to learn the hard way that no one in the Multiverse is in the same depth as the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation! You thought you could trap us, and now my trap will be your end."
The younger Batman saw the cage before he took out a Batarang." No matter how much of a sick twisted version of me you are, if anyone knows a trap from Batman, it's Batman! I'll, huh? Alfred?"
Everyone was confused as a thinner version of his long-time butler walked up before Alfred smirked." Can I help you sir?"
"Alfred this is no time to, RAHH!"
Alfred touched Batman, before nanomachines went into Batman's body as Alfred smirked." Fixing all flaws sir…Alfred Protocol commencing."
As the Murder Machine, the corrupt fusion of Batman and Cyborg arose out of the ground the Joker snickered." Ok that is a good joke.".
As the younger Batman became a mindless drone, The Batman Who Laughs snickered." You know nothing! For all your hatred of me…I'm your friend Batman. I'm the best damn friend you'll ever have!"
"I've always taken up the belief of "tough love." In the end, I'm trying to make you see what you all could be, what life can be what it always wanted to be. A place where a new, strong man will be incubated…one that will live for the new era. In the end, why did we really choose to be Batman?
For me…it was because a Bat is the only mammal on are planet that could fly naturally. It learned to rise above all other creatures like it by embracing its strengths, its true nature, its urges. The Bat shows us how to evolve, how to win!"
"Yes…what a wonderful way to celebrate are victory! Such fireworks are fitting for your " Fourth of July" eh?"
Deadpool rolled his eyes before spitting out," They say I'm crazy but it was clearly Christmas dude!"
"On that earth, but on this earth its your precious birthday of this nation! And there will be fireworks."
Captain America saw everyone's resolve before he glared at the pale man." C'mon people! No matter what tech these Nazi's have they don't have are heart and that's why they will fall! We got to keep moving."
While he and the others prepared to advance, a new snide voice interjected with a dismissive," You think it's all about heart Captain? Oh…you American's have been so deluded about yourselves for so long…but the farce ends here!"
Captain America widened his eyes as he saw none other than the Red Skull walk up to him as those like Lex Luthor, the Shredder, Sinistro, Ra's al Ghul, and more of the" Legion of Doom" were behind him along with a hologram of Palpatine.
The leader of the Invaders saw the cruel smirk of his arch enemy inside a version of the Destroyer Armor from Asgard...and grit his teeth." At least you have the guts to come to the front-line Schmidt! But this nightmare is ending today!"
"Oh, your nightmare is just starting Herr Rodgers! I wanted to see you break up close! All this time…you really think that your precious" American exceptionalism" can change destiny?"
"Its who I am!"
"Is it? I beg to differ…because how do you explain him?"
He motioned behind him, before another man walked up. He looked just like Steve, only in green armor. He had the same shield as Cap, but a glowing ax, Stormbreaker in his other hand, and had Nazi and Hydra logos on his chest and shoulder armor.
This man who looked just like Cap grasped his ax tightly before uttering," Heil Hydra…Heil Hitler!"
Sam and some of the other Invaders looked at the version of Cap loyal to the Red Skull before Sam spat out," What in tarnation is this? Another one of those Negaverse scumbags? You're a disgrace to America you phony!"
"No…you're the facade…but I'm the true face of America." Hydra Cap spat out bitterly." We are going to make this world, this universe, and everything else stronger than it's been. Where you failed, Hydra will succeed. You can kneel and lament your failure, or die in agony.
We are going to break this broken existence and forge it into something better…something stronger. Free of all the weakness and corruption you infected it with. We can make something truly glorious."
Rodgers saw his counterpart's detached resolve before he cracked his neck." I almost feel sorry for you. But I won't let a mockery of everything American stands for go on a moment longer."
"I'm the mockery? You're the lie of the American dream, I'm the American reality! You think you're the one who's worthy of protecting this country, and its people? You could not even protect your own mother!
Your warped and twisted ideology that venerates fear and weakness above all else…you think it gave people hope but it just gives them despair! You're all too blinded by the lies your whole society is built on.
But that's the problem is it not? If you want to blame someone for the fact that all the" Good people" are gone…blame yourself! You claim to be protecting this country. From what? Over and over again, the same threats rear their ugly heads because you don't have the resolve to really end threats. Then others, seeing how it's tolerated, follow their example, chaos multiples.
You lead a band of arrogant, out of touch sycophants in masks and appoint yourselves the purveyors of justice. But when will you be held accountable?"
"Is this what you call all of this? Trying to hold us "accountable"? You're just a bully who is trying to torture everyone till they break…but we won't ever break to you Nazi scum!"
Hydra Cap's eyes twitched before he uttered," Because justice is on your side? I told you…this is not me embracing Germany, but America! I'm just honest about what America and its manifest destiny always really was!"
Red Skull laughed before he added," He's right Rodgers. All of you dogs fight for a lie that is the American dream! Don't you realize who the true puppets are? Don't you realize that Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, and all the other members of the Axis were inspired by America's lust for power in the first place?
You condemn are death camps, when it was how you Americans massacred your own " Indians" with things like the Trail of Tears, and became powerful by enslaving and exploiting all around you that inspired the Holocaust in the first place with having" Final solutions" to unwanted inferior races infecting your volk!"
Uncle Sam had his eye twitch before he jabbed his finger at the skull faced man." Shut your mouth you subhuman demon! American sinned…but we learned from are mistakes and are fighting to atone for it all!"
"Are you?" Red Skull snapped back." I seen so many alternate futures across the Multiverse you know, many showed America's true nature. I wanted to see the biggest mistake the Axis made in War World 2, and you know what it comes down to? Pearl Harbor, and Hitler declaring war on America right away.
Do you know what happened so many times when we did not offend America and made a treaty with them? They joined us…eagerly! America said it was fighting for justice after the fighting started to make it sound better, but the reality was that it was really sheer outrage for Japan thinking they would make America give up after mocking them!
The reality was in the universe's when the Nazi's made an offer to pay respect, while some lovers of inferior races protested, they were pushed aside from those who wanted sheer money! Because it's always about money to you Americans in the end!
America started from those who wanted to make more money and cast out the British, who were trying to stop them from killing Native Americans and exploiting minorities! So many became hero's because they were swept up by the propaganda of peace and justice, but the reality is that America is the most ruthless, power obsessed nation of them all!"
"You lie!" Captain America shouted out bitterly." There might be some greedy folks out there, but that's not what America stands for as a whole! When push comes to shove…we stand for what's right!"
His counterpart in fascist symbols just smirked coldly." You say that you stand for what's right, but it's not up to you now, its them, the citizens that you insist are "good people." You wear that flag. You say you represent the things this country stand for.
I'd say those ideals have been called into question. You made all these assumptions about what they're looking for from you. What they believe, what they're inspired by.
Turns out, if anything, my methods are a good deal more in line with their hopes and dreams. I offered them power, and they took it. What do you offer them? A chance to go back to being afraid of their own neighbors? To being left behind by you, and all the others like you, racing for the starts while they grovel in the dirt?
Right now there's the euphoria. You're telling them the hero's won, and maybe some of them are getting swept up in it. And you're promising that things will be different this time. But they won't be. And that's when they start to remember. They remember…how it felt to be part of something bigger than themselves.
To stand untied…finally fighting back against those who have oppressed them for so long. To take control of there communities and see real order imposed. To have their moment in the sun. To know real strength! So, who do you really think they will side with in the moment of truth?
Who do you think they are more like, you or me? Because I saw them, and a loot more of them then you're willing to admit were proud to call themselves part of the Hydra Empire, they were proud to be part of the final solution!"
As Rodgers looked conflicted the Whizzer snickered." Don't tell me you're chocking down the baloney from this clown eh Cap? Red Skull just got some Skrull to take your face to try and mess with yah! If he's just some copy with your powers he's got nothing on yah! We are already short on time so I'm taking what he does not have the right to have!"
The speedster member of the Invaders tried to take Hydra Cap's shield, but as he moved at super speed, he realized Cap was following him with his eye, and only had time to swear as Hydra Cap revealed he was just as fast as the speedster, by slicing Whizzer's head off with his Stormbreaker ax before uttering," Güten Taag."
As the fellow members of the Invaders saw their friend fall to the ground without his head, Hydra Cap smirked." Oh…your right I don't have your heart…I have a heart unclouded by foolishness!"
Toro screamed out before firing a massive fire ball, but his target easily blocked the original human torch's attack with his own shield, and threw it at the man. Captain American threw his own shield to counter it as he shouted out," No…no more!"
Red Skull snickered at this before he grasped his hand tightly." Nein…the massacre is just getting started Rodgers! It will only end when every fool like you across the multiverse is so broken that they will never defy destiny again!"
Palpatine nodded before uttering," Wipe them out...all of them."
As his hologram vanished, Captain America and Uncle Sam both charged Hydra Cap, only for their counterpart to counter both of their attacks at once.
Mike grit his teeth before he glared at the Batman who Laughs and yelled out," I think you thrown out enough messed up clones! No more holding back…let's do this! Round two asshole! "
The son of Ben and Lacus once more had his hair turn golden and have angel wings come out before he uttered a deadpanned," So you have a Super Saiyan Bat devil form you want to spring out of your belt or something or can we just end this? Too bad, you played enough cards!"
In a flash Mike tried to unleash a lighting fast roundhouse kick to end the laughing man, only for a new figure to suddenly catch the blow.
Mike saw the new foe was someone who looked like Batman, with rock like skin before Batman Who Laughs, laughed." Heh…oh…not quite, but he did."
Calvin saw the new Batman and tensed up." He…looks like Darkseid?"
"More like Darkfather." The thinner Batman replied." "Darkfather" used to be the Batman of his world and defeated the evil god Darkseid, before taking his powers and acquiring a skin like him.
He also gained mastery over the Anti-Life Equation and altered the Parademons of Apokolips into the "Pararobins", outfitting them with uniforms matching that of his sidekick Robin. And all of that power, is mine to command!"
Mike saw Darkfather's eyes glow before he grit his teeth." That's all? That's still not enough!"
Darkfather unleashed Omega Beam's right at Mike's face, and the golden haired man unleashed a quick Stardust Breaker blast to push the beams back. While he seemed to stand his ground with Dark Father Mike suddenly noticed a shadow over him, followed by a savage roar before the Batman Who Laughs uttered." Who said that was the only one? Its clobbering time…right Bat Thing?"
Mike winced as an Batman with the body of the Thing from the Fantastic Four came for him from above.
Mike parried with one of the Bancho Adolla Fangs, and while the impact caused the ground around Mike to cave in the golden-haired man stood his ground even as Dark Father and Bat Thing both tried to overpower him at once.
He glared at his enemies while yelling out," You think you can just throw a few rip off's and that will be enough!? Hell no!"
"You think that's all I have?" The Batman Who Laughs replied." I have dark horrors from all across the" Dark" Multiverse. Robin King, see that Bat Hulk…Bat Tekkaman...Bat Vision… Bat Buu...Mindhunter all…finish him!"
A crazed that looked like a pale Robin with a crown of thorns on his head walked up and hissed out," Hear that? It's the sound of the Robin King, and a new spring is coming!"
As corrupt versions of Batman fused with the Hulk, the Vision, Majin " Super " Buu, Lobo,Tekkaman, the Mandarin, the Martin Manhunter and more came down their master laughed madly." See? Every single version of us I pulled through…are the happiest versions. They're all selfish. They gave up on ideas to compromise…to win they are bats! I helped many of my brothers become who they are meant to be, but I still am not done.
Get ready to laugh, Bruce…because for all the dark truths you seen, I'm going to show you a funny one right now. See, the happiest Bruce Wayne in all of existence isn't any of the Dark Knights so far.
My final knight, is the version who finally lets go of his sadness, his mistaken ideals…and becomes who he was always meant to be, the true bat of Gotham across the Multiverse…Have you ever had a moment when something that seemed so complicated suddenly just…made sense?
When you just got it? When you just stop fighting and just…accept it? When you throw off the illusions, the masks…and…just be yourself. And for that moment is right…now! "
As all the counterparts of Batman tackled Mike his eyes widened." No…no matter what I refuse to accept that psychopaths like you and Sieg are the true nature of people! I'll show you…what we all really want! RAHH!"
Mike dug in and unleashed his full power, and unleashed a shock-wave powerful enough to knock his enemies back. As he ascended to the air in his Nephilim Bancho state The Batman Who Laughs sneered." Yes…the same power you displayed in the Prime Universe. This time…I'm prepared."
"You think you are, but I'll prove how wrong you are! Guys just let me end this…we don't have time to waste playing their games any longer!"
As he fell to the ground Bat Buu threw a piece of himself and flung it like a Batarang to try and absorb Mike. However Tyson vaporized the pink projectile before it could touch Mike and narrowed his eyes." I don't care how many rip off's you can spit out you can't copy us!"
"Bat Panther might disagree with you on that boy."
The ruler of Wakanda saw a man with the Black Panther outfit and Batman's cowl and cape on him before his eye twitched." You think this is funny? We will see who the joke is before the end of this asshole!"
As Tyson went to fight the counterpart of his from the Negaverse fused with Batman, Calvin saw Mike casually deflect Dark Father's Omega Beams before he nodded." Just be careful. You heard the man…we got to free everyone from them while those two fight off the hoard from the Negaverse."
Deadpool shrugged before he flipped his guns around." Well did want to check the Nazi Boss rush from hell card off the list. Lets dance!"
As the member of Justice League Incarnate took the lead to get away from Mike's fight, a beam smashed into his chest.
Sveryone saw Lex Luthor calmly walk out of the White House with a smug look." No matter what universe you're from, every Superman is so pitifully naïve."
The Superboy that Mike's group freed from Arkham Asylum saw the bald man and winced." Lex Luthor is here to? He did this all to become president?"
The bald man looked at the younger Kryptonian and smirked." Please...like I would want to settle for something as limited as the president. Sorry to wait, I was just putting on my best suit."
Calvin looked at his burnt chest and narrowed his eyes." Luthor…I'm telling you now what ever armor you built it's not going to be enough!"
"Oh…I'm far above a mere suit…see for yourself."
Lex's eyes glowed before his skin became ghost white, and the symbol of Brainiac appeared on his head. As his body became clad with a golden armor, Seg-El, Superman's grandfather form another universe's eyes widened with shock." Wait…I'm seeing his cells, all have bits of Brainiac on him! This man's a puppet of Brainiac!"
"Please…Lex Luthor is no one's puppet."
" I was under the impression you were smart but you seem like your being played like a fiddle."
"I'm about to get everything I ever wanted power, ultimate knowledge, immortality."
"And you'll destroy the Earth to get it?"
"It's business, Superman. There are always tradeoffs."
"Like being a puppet to Braniac and his masters?"
"You don't get it. With the Dark Heart Tech, I assimilated him into me, to become a true man of tomorrow, not just mistakes like your entire race."
"If you think that's all that it takes to make you Superman, you're the most foolish Lex I seen Luthor." Calvin replied, causing Lex to casually point up." It's time to give it up heroes. Look up…our army is endless…and we have the masters of all creation on are side. Are none of you really smart enough to surrender?"
Superboy grit his teeth before spitting back," I got news for you! We are no where near that smart. In fact, I think we are all about to get real damn stupid in here right guys!?"
Lex frowned before his eyes glowed." Then you will all die as fools."
John flew up before his ring glowed." There's enough crap going on without another smug Luthor rant. You know, Lex, I've built a lot of constructs with this ring finger over the years. But constructs are channeled energy, pulled punches. Some people, just deserve the finger!"
The Green Lantern fired a massive green energy beam, only for Lex's eyes to glow before he waved his hand, and caused a barrier that caused the projectile of will power to shatter.
Lex looked delighted at John's shock before he grasped his hand tightly. Your right Lantern. You are a very creative builder. Do me a favor, look up."
John was about to yell till he saw a shadow, and looked up to see a sphere of buildings, machine parts and other tools, all constructs John used to create from his own ring before Lex's eyes widened as he uttered a vindictive," Yes John…from the data that's very construct recorded…about to be dropped on your thick head!"
As the Green Lantern got buried from his own previously used attacks. Lex smirked before uttering," I would kill you but I made a promise to Sinestro, and he does seem like he still interested yes?"
The leader of the Sinestro Corpse came down to tackle John before the red man snickered." Its time you submit to fear…once and for all boy."
Lex laughed as he saw John get dragged off." Don't get me wrong, it warms my heart seeing you all struggle so, GUH!"
In an instant Supergirl punched Lex through the chest as the rougher version of Kal-El's cousin glared at Luthor and spat out," What heart? I can't find one. All I see is an abomination!"
Lex shocked his attacker as he laughed despite the hole in his chest. He then widened his eyes." Ah…you're a much more direct Supergirl then the one I dealt with. You could have made a fine Lexcorp employee if you did not have so much pride. But truthfully I don't care what I am seen as under the gods of Krypton, I'm under a new god and I'm an ideal employee to them!"
He blasted Supergirl off him, and the hole in his chest repaired itself in moments before Lex prepared to follow up till Mark slammed in to him.
The bald man saw his shoulder was twisted before he snickered." Which man of steel are you boy?"
"Not a man of steel but to you I might as well be Invincible!"
The current leader of the Viltrumites race tried to tackle his target, only for Lex to catch his fists before his grin widened." Bold words boy...to bad your a knock off out of your depth!"
He blasted Mark into Allen the Alien before he formed energy in his hands." I'm the true man of steel now…your all just obsolete trash to be disposed of. So."
In a instant Tal-Rho tackled him to the ground till the man who in one Universe was Superman's brother pinned his arms before having his heat vision go off right on Lex's head as he yelled out," Arrogant, self-deluded, small-minded, selfish, clown! You think you're a true superior being! Don't make me, GUH!"
Lex suddenly had metal tentacles burst out of his back to lash at the Kryton attacker from all directions before his tongue also extended and he slashed Tal-Rho's right eye.
As the bearded man cried out in pain Lex snickered." At least your more honest about your views then your brother…but you will find out the hard way now you're the inferior being! I have become, GUH!"
In an instant Calvin punched Lex in the head, and sent Luthor through many walls of the White House.
Lex 's head twisted completely around, before the transformed leader of Lexcorps felt his head and looked detached." I always wondered what it would be like if Superman did not hold back…I'm disappointed."
Calvin saw how the other Kryton warriors were doing before he grasped his fist tightly." Luthor…no matter what the IV promised you, I know this is not who you are. What you're becoming under them…is something else."
"Tsc…the Luthor you think you know is in the past…I am what I was always meant to be."
The two punched each other, and while Lex looked delighted that his blow was pushing Clavin's fist back the man in front of him grit his teeth." Luthor…you might believe that people…that their nature is dark but…"
"You know…nothing alien! You are not one of us!"
Luthor uttered as his right fist became a mace and he smashed Calvin in the head. "You never will be! Humans are superior to Kryptonians…we are meant to be predators! It is our destiny! It's who we are!"
He tried to impale his target only for Calvin to catch the mace as he uttered," Maybe so but its not who you were meant to be!"
"You don't know me, you don't know what I was fated to, GUH!"
A spray of acid hit him in the neck, causing part of him to melt. Lex found himself laughing before his eyes glowed and he tried to take control of his body. While his body repaired himself, he looked to the right and saw the attack came from the Joker. The clown laughed as he made a mocking gesture." I do know you Lexy…and he's right that this is so not you."
Lex's eye twitched as he hissed out," You dare betray us Joker? You're the last one that ever cared about justice! I am going to cut open your brain and make sure that every nerve ending is firing nonstop pain and agony, while making sure you never go into shock!"
"That's the sprit Lexy! But still, all too true about justice. But see…your replacement dared to try and replace me first! And I think it's a laugh you don't think the same thing's in store for you. That eyesore up there…he's a wrong thing…a twisted thing…and if I think its twisted you know that's messed up! Lex. Listen to me.
You promised all of us the world. Hell, you offered us the Multiverse. The powers of creation and all that jazz. But at the end of the day, what am I going to really do with the Multiverse? No, that seems like an awful lot of paper work and red tape that sucks the fun out of things. But I did think it would be pretty funny to help you get right to the edge of winning, and then blow it all up in your face.
The scale of this thing…of your whole new state of being that you got as a promotion from your" Boss". Its too Big. Our stories don't work when they get this convoluted!
It's supposed to be the clown prince of crime and the Dark Knight Detective! Neither of us are supposed to the god damn moon or the punchline just gets to loony! You're in too deep. You want so badly to be bigger then Superman that you let the new cosmic god on the block to convince you to give up everything you are."
"You have no idea what you're talking about. You just don't like to be left behind! I'm a man of the future…you're a clown that's never really moved on from the great depression! I thought you would be thrilled about the Batman Who Laughs since he's proof that your way beat the Bat."
"If you think that your not as smart as I thought. I say that to accept that there's no meaning in your actions is to win while the Bat says that to believe there is meaning in all your actions is to win. But that eyesore...he's a dream, what he says is that there is no meaning in your actions therefor the only meaningful act is to win. He is the ideal that both the Bat and I am right, that the fear of that without any grander meaning at hear we are all cold, animistic selfish things.
He's a wrong thing Lex...he ruins the whole game and if that's the company policy then I want to burn it all down."
"You really can't just accept that you been replaced Joker. To bad...your little gasses and tricks are so far beneath me now."
"Oh don't be petty Lex. If you're going to survive this, you're going to survive this because your Lex Luthor, not the number one suck up in this multiverse phone company! See, Lexy? I'm a courteous clown. And I know you all to well. We've been at this a long time have we not? Through the good times and the bad. But you never really change. You must think you do. You plaster some class on top of the kryptonite death ray sand red sun generators.
But you're always Luthor. Your always predictable. You try the same things over and over and over again. It's funny. You really think you're up to something new this time, but it's the same old game Lex.
Now me…I don't like doing a retread. Its too predictable. It loses all the humor. I change personalities three times before breakfast but you're the same easy to read badly you always been!"
Lex's eyes twitched before they suddenly glowed." No…I'm Lex Luthor…no one is more of a genius then me so just, GUH!"
A blast came out of the ground and hit him right in the chest. He felt his whole body become paralyzed as he saw Doctor Doom float above him. The man with the green cape saw Lex look at him and just narrowed his eyes." Doom begs to differ. If you're a mere twelfth level intellect you're not even close enough to be a true rival."
Lex snickered before his eyes glowed again." Says the man who can only hold on to a small dreck of a nation named Latveria? Heh, well it is an exquisite place to start a corporatocracy!"
Lex formed out a laser gun of his right shoulder before charging and firing the first shot. Doom sidestepped it and fired his own weapon before ducking return fire.
Levitating upwards to get the high ground, Doom aimed and shot down. Lex dashed forward, avoiding the laser fire to shorten the gap. He then aimed his gun steadily ahead of him and fires another beam ahead of him as his opponent lands.
Just as Doom aimed, the beam knocked the pistol out of his hand. In retaliation, he raised his palm and fired a powerful blast, which Lex countered with another beam.
Doom saw his beam was being overpowered before he hissed out," You wretch!"
"Pathetic." Lex replied dryly as the two mad scientists both increased the power of their beams. After a few seconds the opposing streams of energy appeared to merge and caused an explosion.
As the light faded, Doom appeared in the other direction. For a moment he thought Lex was blasted apart, only to see Lex rise from the ground. Doom noticed what he thought was Lex fade into liquid metal before he sneered." Hmph. A mechanical replica?"
"It's called a Lexbot, you knuckle-dragging buffoon."
"Its design is rather ingenious. Not as ingenious as mine, of course. But enough talk, let us end these charades."
Lex had blades form out of his wrists before he had a mad look form in his eye." With pleasure."
Luthor dove in to try and cut his target up.
But he was blocked by Doom's instantly summoned Techno-virus staff. Doctor Doom landed some hits while dodging the reach of the blades before finally shattering them and knocking Lex back.
Doom readied himself and leapt to finish the fight, but Lex took advantage of his newly gained distance to dispel the staff's virus and activated a barrier. It successfully trapped Victor, rendering him flat and whirling him helplessly around and around in a two-dimensional space carousel.
Doom hissed out," What is this confounded contraption?!
Lex snickered as energy formed in his hands." Two-dimensional morphographic technology. I haven't perfected it, but it's more than enough to exterminate an imbecile like you!"
"Pitiful. What kind of a man are you?"
"A superman…one that the likes of you can't understand!"
He prepared to try and kill Doom, only for a green energy blast to rocket out and suddenly hit Lex in the chest. As Doom was free and Lex was pinned to the ground the new voice said," Maybe he does not understand what Lex Luthor is, but I do!"
Lex widened his eyes as he saw Alexander Luthor descend before his eye twitched." Your…me? A me…helping Superman?"
Calvin saw his fellow member of the Multiversal Rebel Alliance land besides him before he nodded." Just in time Alex."
"Sorry for the delay." The Luthor with red hair uttered." When I heard Lex Luthor was here, I took the proper counter measures."
Lex saw his counterpart's sorrowful look before he snickered." You are suppose to be me? You're a spineless sell out in every sense of the word. You may have a fraction of my intellect, but I have access to superior resources so its natural who will win."
"Is it?" Alexander replied bitterly." You should know that a true superior genius can turn things around Lex. I was like you once…I became consumed with seeing a project through no matter the cost, and I lost my soul in the process. I won't let you make the same mistake, and drag the entire Multiverse down with you!"
"Allow me? Your about to learn just where your place is "Alex." I have my own pawns to throw away to!"
With a wave of his hand two figures burst out of the ground. As the others blinked Calvin winced as they saw none other then Clark Kent, as Superman, with purple glowing eyes and metal spots on his body, with curly hair to his shoulder before he winced." No…what did you do Lex?"
"Make Superman what he always should have been…a Lex corp employee!Everyone talked about how he's such a better person then me, but I seen that in one universe after another he easily was a worst person then me! The Superman that was Born in an alternate timeline where the Soviet State raised him, this Kal-El variant fought for "Stalin, the Superman that became the Justice Lord after Lois was killed by the Joker, there are so many examples to prove my point. But this one, this one landed in Brazil as a adult and was raised by no one. It made him powerful but also made him need guidence, a thing I was all to happy to provide.
If you care so much about my " Absloute" Superman then you will die at his feet!"
The brainwashed Superman had his eye twitch before he uttered," So we come to casting " stones"? Looks like you rebel scum are all losing your cool. Let me help!"
He tried to freeze everyone around him with his ice breath, and as Calvin countered with his heat vision Alexander looked at his counterpart with disgust." You think this is the zenith of your life Lex…but you are thinking so pitifully small."
"Don't think you know me defect! I KNOW WHAT I WANT!"
As Alex and Lex fired blasts at each other Doom paused before he looked past Lex." I can detect him…the Richards working with these scum. I'm advancing…you all finish this."
As Doom took off and Lex and his counterpart tried to overpower each other,
Spider-Gwen saw Miss America try and tackle Hydra Cap from behind, only for the Red Skull's child, Sin, to blast her in the back with an energy blast before she snickered." This…this has gotten so messed up. But its all because of psychopaths like you! You all have to be shut down for good!"
She tried to web Hydra Cap from behind, only for a red web to intercept it. She winced and turned around, only to see it came from another Spiderman, with elements of Carnage in him. The new interloper landed on the wall before his back twitched." You inferiors can't defy destiny any longer! You will submit to your superiors!"
Scarlet Spider's eyes narrowed before he muttered," That looks like one of us but I swore it sounded like Doc Ock!"
"No… Doctor Octopus is dead. Long live the superior Spider-Man! Together we could touch millions. An octopus, after all, has so many arms... And spiders... Spiders have so many eyes...to catch prey!"
Spider-Gwen narrowed her eyes at the new arrival and only crouched down as four metallic arms burst out of the Spiderman with Doctor Octopus's body before she hissed out," So your like that guy below? How dare you use Pete's body like a puppet! You're going to pay Ock!"
"No you will pay!" The Superior Spiderman hissed out," Write your stories, fools. Mark this day well. For today, I cast off the last of the chains Peter Parker saddled me with...and begin to craft my own legacy. I am no more bound by Parker's life than I am by my own former existence. For with great power, comes great opportunity.
I shall create something entirely new. Something wonderful. This shall be my legacy. A Brand-New Day...No, A Brand New Age. The Age of the Superior Spider-Man... The Greatest Spider-man of them ALL! And nothing will stand in my way."
"Your looking at a few things." Scarlet-Spider uttered." You may have four arms but we still have more webs then you." Ock twitched before the Carnage symbiotic formed around his body. As axes formed out of his back the now" Monster Ock" roared out," I AM SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER SPIDER-MAN! I'll devour you all!"
He had tentacles burst out of the ground to bind the Spider hero's around them before they could react to there Spider-Sense, and he prepared to devour the Scarlet Spider till suddenly a high-pitched scream caused him to grasp his head in pain. A new woman voice cut in with," Your so smart but you forgot you got all the weaknesses of your pal eh Doc? You made yourself Spider proof but your still prey to cats to!"
A woman in a skintight black suit with long sliver hair and a mask landed on the ground with a sonic gun. Ock had his eye twitch before he hissed out," Trying to be a hero now Felicia Hardy? Even if Black Cats really do have nine lives…you will lose them all today!"
"Oh… I'm not a hero." The Black Cat retorted." I'm a thief. Born a thief. Raised a thief. Will die a thief. But…you guys really rubbed me the wrong way and I won the Spider's a favor for getting me out of that damn torture tree. Besides…hearing your voice out of Spider-Man's body makes me want to throw up. You're a fraud Otto…so you can go down with all other disgusting frauds here."
"Damn you cat!" Otto roared out as his arms twitched." Otto Octavius has conquered death! I am immortal! I am superior! Who can stand against me now?"
As he had bladed webs go for his target a bulky black figured jumped up and bit the webs before he landed down with a thud. He was like Spiderman, only pitch black and with a reptile like tongue. He licked his lips before hissing out," How about us? You may be a fusion, but we are Venom! We were wrong about Spider-man in the past, but you deserve to be eaten!"
Ock hissed in outrage before howling out," You think a simpleton like you can stop us Eddie Brock? All those people... I can save, and your trying to stop me? Please, your the real villain here! I tried to warn you, Spiders, I really did. But there's no one to blame but yourself. Maybe the most merciful thing to do is to wipe us out of existence entirely. Save us both some aggravation!"
"Watch us!" Spider-Gwen retorted as she, Venom, the Black Cat and the other Spider-Men tried to corner Monster Ock.
Batman saw the man with many arms get more fanatical, and saw Mike fighting the seemly endless army of Dark Knights in the sky with Tyson backing him up, before he saw the Joker, the Supermen, and Alexander Luthor still trying to overcome Lex before he winced." This has gotten out of hand. We have to be ready to end this before there is nothing left."
He prepared to throw something, till a new voice uttered," You can't think your way out of this detective! Death does not wait for you to be ready! Death is not considerate, or fair! And make no mistake: here, you face Death."
Batman winced as he turned around and saw Ra's al Ghul walking up to him. The leader of the League of Shadows took out a sword before hissing out," When a forest grows too wild, a purging fire is inevitable and natural. It makes no different if that forest is the very multiverse, it just needs a bigger fire!"
Batman glared at the bearded man before hissing out," I can't even blame your mental state on the Lazarus Pits anymore Ra…you truly are more insane than the Joker if you think this is the right path for humanity."
"And the state you kept things in is the right path detective? Crime. Despair. This is not how man was supposed to live. The League of Shadows has been a check against human corruption...for thousands of years.
We sacked Rome. Loaded trade ships with plague rats. Burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence...we return to restore the balance.
We are back to finish the job. And this time no misguided idealists will get in the way. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them... and stab them in the heart. Crime cannot be tolerated. Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding, and the legacy of Batman is one that's been far to forgiving."
Batman grit his teeth before spitting back," No matter how bad I want to save lives, burning everything to the ground won't help people."
"For the man who spreads fear you always been too afraid to do what truly needs to be done. But if you fight for the weak you will die with them."
"And you can carry on your insanity alone."
Batman prepared to charge at his enemy, only for another blade to come out of the shadows, he saw it came from a elegant woman with long brown hair in a black battle suit. Batman quickly parried the blade before he winced." No…you will stand for this Talia?"
"Unlike you I'm loyal to family beloved." Talia uttered bitterly." You could have been in the place of that clone out there if you just let go of your fears."
"Talia…this is why I will never be part of your family. And if you side with all this, it has to end here. GUH!"
He prepared to counterattack, till suddenly a nightstick suddenly hit his side and caused a volt of electricity to cause him to stagger. As he was hit back a cold voice uttered," It will end when your put down…father."
Batman looked up and saw the man who attacked him was dressed in black and red armor, and almost looked like Robin before Talia smirked." That's just like we prepared for. You did well, Damian."
Batman coughed as he staggered up." No…this is to sick a joke even for the Joker Talia."
"It's clear you would never be what I wanted to be, so now my son will be what I always wanted from you. Damian…will you see the destiny through that your father will not?"
"Yes mother." Damian replied before he glared at Batman." You shunned your family father…you get what you deserve!"
He prepared to attack the stunned Batman, till a whip suddenly grasped the biological son of Bruce and Talia by the wrist before a surly voice cut in with," With a mouth like that what father would not be pissed off at you eh brat?"
Everyone saw the interloper was a woman in a cat suit with a whip before Batman widened his eyes." Selina? What are you doing here?"
"What else?" The Catwoman replied as she winked." A place like this is loaded with treasure. But more then that…want pay back for being tied up on the damn tree. Joker may have put me on there, but it was you assholes who threw me to him!"
Talia had her eye twitch before she hissed out," You should have just died like the whore you are! It's because of you that my beloved is confused. You're just a damn thief that can't commit to anything or anyone. What right do you have to meddle?"
"Because I'm more fun." Catwoman threw out sassily." Seriously you all are just kill this and new world that, your parties are the worst. People like you who never are happy with anything, can't be allowed to tell everyone what their future is."
Batman snickered as he let out a grin." I don't agree with Selina on everything…but I do agree with her on this. You're still going back to jail after this though."
"I don't think we have a legal system at the moment."
"Even so."
Ra sighed before he grasped his sword tightly." You shown how weak willed you are when you go for the thief over my child Detective. You can't put your short term desires over the common good. That's why you will die alone as a failure!"
Before he could attack the other members of the Bat family got along side Batman and Catwoman before Terry growled out," Back off…we won't let you condemn the old man right in front of us!"
Tim saw the charred remains of the other Batman in the distance before he tugged his collar." Er…at least not again."
Damien snickered before hissing out," None of you are real scions of Batman, I'm his true son!"
"What to bet on that punk?" Terry replied before he suddenly turned invisible. As Damien raised an eyebrow, and got punched in the face Batman looked at Talia bitterly." I don't need to succeed you, I can save Gotham, and all humanity my way. And I'm not losing my family to you!"
As Batman and his most trusted comrades took the fight to the League of Shadows, Wolverine saw how bitter Batman looked before he took out his claws and crept up." I'm glad I don't know a soul on this world…makes the job easier. I'm the best I am at what I do, and got to get the job done no matter what. So get ready to, huh? GUH!"
The wall behind Wolverine collapsed before a clawed hand shot out to slash at him. The X-men was slashed back before a cruel voice spat out," You may not know me, but I know you, runt!"
Wolverine saw the man on the other side was feral man with jagged teeth before he groaned out," Of course they have a Nazi Sabretooth hear to."
"HAH! I smelled your scent and ran all over the capital to get here in time!" Sabertooth replied." Looks like I'm getting my bonus after all Logan! I don't care where you're from…you're going to join the others soon enough."
"No chance in hell that's how it's going Creed." Wolverine replied." I don't care what your claws are made out of in this universe…you still don't have it in you to top me. You always been a mad dog and I'm doing this for far more then myself! So get lost!"
The two stabbed at each other, before they got in a deadlock. Wolverine suddenly headbutt Sabretooth and made him stagger. The man with adamantium claws prepared to slice off his rival's head, only for him to hear a feral roar, and see a figure from above dive down and slice Wolverine right in his lungs and pin him to the floor.
As the X-men cried out in pain as he saw someone that looked like him but younger with only two claws in his hands was his attacker. As Wolverine blinked the new male snarled." You're the one that's going to die alone…dad!"
"What…are you?"
"He's your son…Logan."
Wolverine widened his eyes as a woman came out of the shadows, one with Asian features and metal claws before he blurted out," Wait…you…your Yuriko? Guh!"
Sabertooth slashed Wolverine across the face before he snarled out," Treat my wife with more respect Logan!"
"Your…wife?"
"That's right." Yuriko hissed out." I am Lady Deathstrike, and I won't be denied. Creed lacks my finesse, but that's how we make a good team. And for the rest, my son Daken here."
"Daken?" Wolverine uttered as he widened his eyes." I could have sworn he reminded me, of me."
"That's because he is your son, at least the you from my universe." Deathstrike hissed out." Well, you and the woman Itsu, but I adopted him to get my revenge. Logan…Weapon X…Wolverine…whatever you call yourself, you're a eyesore! Every last version of you will suffer!"
Wolverine saw Daken snarl before he grit his teeth." I know…I got a lot wrong. But the only way to atone for that…is to make it all be for something worth a damn. Not even my own kid is going to stop me from doing that!"
Wolverine heard more growls before Deathstrike smirked." Who said Daiken was your only spawn? Come give your father your regards, Mongrels."
Wolverine saw more people dressed like him before Sabertooth smirked." Gunhawk, Shadowstalker, Fire Knives, Saw Fist, Cannon Foot, get to know your father! You failed so many times runt…it's only fitting your failures with your family is what rips you apart!"
Wolverine winced before he muttered," Damn it…in the end… Nature made me a freak. Man made me a weapon. And God made it last too long. Maybe…this is what I deserve."
"Glad you are stop struggling dad" Daken hissed out. No one cares about you so just drop, GUH!"
While he and the other "Mongrels" were about to rip Wolverine apart, Daken was shot in the head before Deadpool ran up and reloaded his gun." Hey you can't kill him! He still owns me a shawarma!"
Deathstrike saw Deadpool looked serious before she snickered." You're out of your depth "funnyman." How many bullets can you fire before you get sliced to ribbons?"
"Hey I can regenerate to so a lot!"
"Your still one man compared to an undying family!"
"Hey I have a family too, cause I finally found my Deadpool corps! Give them hell boys!"
Wolverine saw Sabretooth and the others pause as dozens of men and woman looking like Deadpool run up behind the original before the X-men winced." Oh god…just kill me now."
A female Deadpool with long blond hair strut up before she winked." Uzi time baby?"
"Oh its definitely Uzi time Ladypool." Deadpool proudly uttered." Headpool, Zenpool, Welshpool, Canadapool, Piratepool, lets show these guys a good time!"
One of the Deadpool variants nodded before uttering," The Proposal."
"God damn it I told you it does not work that way! Anyway you're not getting Wolverine guys…he may be a grumpy but he's are grump! Us grumpy rejects got to stick together! Get them!"
The Deadpool Corps opened fire and unleashed a barrage that caused Deathstrike, Daiken, and the Mongrels to be hit back. Blade, the masked warrior in white named Moonknight, and Electra then charged Sabretooth before Electra slashed at the hairy foe and cried out," No matter how far we fallen, we still will fight to define are own legacy!"
Deadpool nodded before he took out a needle." Hey Logan I know your not a juicer normally but I did bring something to help yah. Its golden adamantium! If everyone has the same gear you need a upgrade right? the 'gold adamantium' is actually an ancient deposit of Adamantine, which where I was from awoken in the modern day only to find the gods replaced with flawed super humans and its own legacy stolen by an inferior imitation. See, adamantium's creator Dr. Myron MacLain was inspired by the legend of Adamantine in creating his original alloy, making adamantium very much the usurper of Adamantine's legendary status. So, its all about the original upping the has been copy cats!"
Wolverine sniffed it before he growled." Will it hurt?"
"Hell yah but not as much as letting your family from another universe dice you up so suck it up buttercup! Baby Knife!"
He jabbed the needle right down Wolverine's wound, causing the X-men to yell in pain. Wolverine yelled furiously, but as Sabertooth went to cut him Wolverine slashed back on instinct, and his claw was suddenly golden, and also suddenly hard enough to slice through his rival's blade.
As Deadpool shot the others back he laughed before he took out his blades." Oh yah…this is more like it! I get the , hey!"
His right hand got shot off before a new male voice cut in with," Think you can crash the party freak? I hear you grow back body parts now, Wade. When I'm finished, parts will have to grow back you!"
Deadpool saw a white man with a bald head, with a long gray shirt, gloves, and a bulletproof vest, wielding two metallic fireman-like axes running up before he rolled his eyes." Oh come on they even have another one of you Francise?"
"Tsc, don't worry, one way or another I'll be the last one you see!"
With a burst of speed the Hydra soldier sliced Deadpool in half. As the merc with the mouth fell to the ground he saw the other Deadpool corps members shoot at Francis before he moaned and looked up." Just bear with us folks, got a few more showdowns to go through. It's the final call, got to get everything in before the end right Peter? Wait…that's not Peter…that's a rock…I might be in worst shape then I thought. Better, whoa!"
Deadpool saw the Technodrome roar by, and had to flop out of the way of being crushed before he yelled out," Hey I'm Deadpool not roadkill damn it! Can't a guy settle a score in piece?"
Deadpool tried to regenerate in time to help the others, but those on top of the giant war machine were too busy to notice anything but the threat in front of them, the Shredder.
After the Turtles confronted their arch enemy to the Shredder saw he was surrounded and snickered out," Tonight I suppose I will dine on Turtle Soup."
"You can't act like you're all that anymore Shredder." Raphael uttered sorely." We all schooled you so many times it don't even feel special no more."
"Maybe the inferior Shredders form your universe's, but I am the one true Shredder that lives up to his reputation. You do not tell your counterparts you only escaped your judgment because the Utrom's and traitors bailed you out! There won't be any worthless clowns saving you this time by putting back in a plug, I control this Technodrome entirely now!"
"Then today is the day we settle the score forever Shredder!" Leo spat back bitterly before Michelangelo shrugged." You said this Shredder is just really some angry Krang like dude in a robot suit right man? Just short the suit dude! Sure its not honorable but Shredder deserves it!"
Donatello shrugged as he took something out from his pocket." It's the blunt version but guess he is right! Get shell shocked!"
The turtle with the purple bandanna turtle took out an Electro-Grenade and batted it at him with his staff. However Shredder only had his eyes glow red before a burst of lighting blasted out of him to neglect the projectile before he snickered." To think my counterparts would fall to such tricks…pathetic. All weaknesses I use to have been purged, because I have absorbed what useful aspects the other Shredders across the Multiverse had, so that I truly am the ultimate Shredder!"
Ralphal rolled his eyes before spitting out," Just means you are the ultimate blowhard Shred head!"
He tried to stab his target, only for the Shredder to casually catch the Sais. He snickered before lifting Raphael right in the air." All this time…and you learn nothing. Go join your counterparts across the, huh?"
While he was distracted he saw a projectile come at him, and slashed at it, only for it to explode into a cloud of smoke.
As he was distracted Michelangelo grasped Shredder's hand, before Donatello jabbed him in the neck with his staff. As he was distracted Leo charged it to prepare to stab Shredder through the head.
His target widened his eyes, before unleashing a burst of lighting that shocked all four turtles. Leo managed to slice Shredder across the face as he was blasted back, causing Shredder to wince. The man known as Oroku Saki, Ch'rell, saw sparks come out of his face before he snickered." I admit…I did not think you four from different universe's would be able to fight so well so quickly…turtles seem to learn fast despite there nature."
Leo grasped his twin blades tightly before uttering," We all knew what was at stake…we took notes to figure out how to best work together. After all…everything's on the line today!"
"Your still slavishly devout to a race that scorns you? Your only reward for all you done for humanity is to keep living under ground like the vermin you are!"
Michelangelo shrugged as he looked around." Hey those other versions of us were able to live a normal life and go to school and everything!"
"And that made them weak lambs that were all to easy to break!"
As most of the turtles winced Leonardo shrugged." No…I saw the future of my world thanks to Cody Jones…humanity can be a place were we all can be accepted! But we can't…we won't let you and all the other dictators ruin it for everyone!"
"You can try…but playtime is over! I commend you for making me take this seriously…but looks like you will be the warm up before I erase the other " heroes!"
Shredder pressed a button on his helmet before the Technodrome shot out a glowing purple crystal. As Shredder grasped it Donatello winced." Oh no…that's giving off the energy waves of mutagen… along with energy from a Twilight Realm, and a demon named Kavaxas?"
Shredder widened his eyes before hissing out," At last…let me show you the face of the ultimate Shredder!"
He jabbed himself with the gem, and instantly unleashed a wave of blood red energy that blew the turtles off their feet. When they got back up, Shredder had transformed. The spikes around his armor and grew and become blood red, and he formed demonic wings as well as his whole body glowed gold.
Leonardo winced before he uttered," Wait…you merged with the original demonic Tengu Shredder?"
Ralph raised a eyebrow before uttering," Wait…he just became a "Super Shredder" Like mine did? Big deal…he got so stupid that he took himself out by crushing the pier on himself!"
Michelangelo winced before he rubbed his head." I don't know dudes…when my Shredder went Super he killed my Splinter! But you said this Shredder did not love Splinter's ex wife right?"
Leo sighed as he saw demonic fire form around the new state of the Shredder." Right…instead he just hates everyone! And no matter how super he gets, it won't be enough!"
"Fools!" Shredder hissed as he landed on the ground with a thud.' I'm not just a "Super Shredder",
I'm the Omega Shredder!
And now…I really will turn you into soup!"
The Omega Shredder waved his hand before unleashing a wave of purple flames at the turtles. As they dodged the fire, in a flash Omega Shredder hit Raphael so hard, that his shell cracked before he was smashed into Donatello. Leonardo tried to strike Omega Shredder, only for a sphere of red energy to form around his target and stop the blade.
Shredder snickered before he took out the Sword of Tengu and blasted Leo to the ground so hard that he dented the Technodrome. Michelangelo moaned before he rolled over." I hate to say it but this version of the Shredder might be living up to the hype!"
"It does not matter." Leonardo spat out bitterly." We have to be whatever it takes to stop him!"
Omega Shredder grasped his fist tightly." What you have to be? Still refuse to understand that you're nothing but freaks? You tried to run away from what you really are, but I'll shred your mirage apart! The mutagen that made you thorns in my sides…now I'll purge it all from you!"
He suddenly unleashed a purple orb at the turtles. Leonardo tried to slash it, only for the orb to explode and hit all four of them. Donatello saw his body glow before uttering," Shell, AHH!"
To their horror, all four of them transformed back into normal turtles and fell on the ground. As they helplessly flopped around Omega Shredder laughed." When bugs defy their superior, all that's left is to be crushed! You spent your life fighting for those who shunned you, and your only reward will be to be crushed by it!"
He prepared to crush the transformed Leonardo, before someone suddenly tackled Omega Shredder form behind. It did little more then annoy him, but he looked around to see it was a man with a hockey mask and a baseball bat revealed to be the target.
The man jabbed his bat at the Shredder before growling out," The turtles are never alone as long as I'm following them! No matter what happens I'm not letting you kill my wife Shredder!"
Shredder snickered as his claws glowed." You came all the way hear just to be killed by me Casey Jones? The only thing you can do is die!"
"Maybe not…but she can do something so I'm glad I brought her!"
Shredder saw a new turtle land next to Casey, a more woman like turtle with a more lighter blue mask before he widened his eyes." You…your Venus de Milo…the sister of the Turtles from another universe where my counter part's mind was…divided.
Bah…I'm nothing like the Shredder you so easily confused who had two personalities! You will be ripped apart for not knowing your place and thinking I'm anywhere close to that "Dragon Lord.""
"Maybe that's true." Venus uttered." But I still have to try. I can still undue your dark magic on my brothers!"
Venus cast a spell to reverse the reverse mutation spell the Shredder cast. As Michelangelo transformed back to normal he saw Venus and rubbed his head." Wait we have a sister now?"
"We may not." Leonardo uttered." But one of are counterparts did…and we have to protect her for their sake! Thank you, but I'm afraid this fight's only getting started."
"I know, but I'll do what I can. I, can't defeat him on my own, but I think I can counter his magic. I can't say for sure, but if we can undue his fusion with his counterparts, it could destroy him for good. Just give me time."
"You got it Venus."
Shredder had his eyes glow before uttering," Your last moments will be in darkness fools!"
He punched the ground, and a wave of dark energy erupted. As everyone was blinded he snickered." This is not mere smoke but true darkness. Now you are exposed as the frauds you are. DIE! GUH!"
He prepared to slice apart the turtles while they could not see, only for Daredevil to suddenly appear and jab his Billy Club in Shredders eye. As the masked man staggered back in shocked rage the man in red got into a fighting stance." Not all of us need to see. Even if we just met, I won't let scum like you harm those who share my resolve."
Venus then cast a spell to repel the darkness before Ralph gave Daredevil a thumbs up.
As their enemy recovered Shredder narrowed his eyes." You're not turtles, you're cockroaches! Such loathsome creatures denying me my place, causes me to have a rage that spans the very multiverse! And that collective rage, will shred you to ashes!"
Omega Shredder had his aura explode, before it broke off to take the shape of the various Shredders across the universe.
As the more demonic Shredder charged at Leo from the left, and a more robotic Shredder with blades like a Swiss army knife came at him from the right before he closed his eyes." When are you going to get over yourself? You have no right to deserve anything Shredder…its time your forced to wake up!"
Leonardo suddenly had an aura of blue energy burst out of him, with enough power to shatter the Shredder shadows. As it became the form of a dragon Leonardo grasped his fist." You were not there when I was part of the eight acolytes under the Ninja Tribunal's training to defeat your demonic counterpart. I surpassed you long ago Shredder."
"You will never surpass me Leonardo Splinterson!"
Omega Shredder seethed out as energy burst out of him." Your legacy from a foolish rat is just to be crushed like one!"
As Shredder formed a massive purple energy ball Leonardo grit his teeth." Don't mock Master Splinter! He might not be here, but I'll finish this in his honor!"
"Like you can!"
As he fired his projectile, Venus suddenly got in front of the attack before she cast a sphere of light out of her hand." All your evil is at last being reflected back at you Shredder! Go Leonardo! She cast a sphere of light and threw it at Leonardo. He took out the Gunshin blade he brought with him and absorbed the magic to have his sword absorb the spell before he yelled out," Take this Shredder! Are love, are anger, and all of are sorrow!"
Shredder saw Leonardo was able to push back the projectile and had his eye twitch." No…you will fall before me!"
He raised his hand before Donatello pressed a button." Don't underestimate my turtle tech Shredder!"
Suddenly the Pizza Fire Delivery Van burst down and crashed into Shredder from behind. As he went to bat it aside, Michelangelo appeared out of a burst of smoke and yelled out," This Mike-anator is so not letting you cancel this pizza party!
Booyakabunga Sato oshi strike!"
The normally goofy member of the turtles got deadly serious as he moved his hands so fast that they were vibrating before striking Shredder in the chest, and caused a ripple to surge through Omega Shredder's body.
As he yelled out in pain he unleashed a wave of lighting, but Raphael, Daredevil, and Casey Jones all got in front of Leonardo and intercepted the attacks as Raphael cried out," You're not rage quitting out of this one! Get him bro!"
Casey nodded before yelling out," Finish this now man!"
Leonardo used all of his willpower to slash Shredders blast back at him. Shredder yelled out in pain as he was impaled and as he realized his magic was being sent back into his body he yelled out," No…you cannot do this to me! I AM THE SHREDDER!"
"And you're a demon who's destiny is to be shredded Shredder!" Leo cried out." Death comes for us all, Oroku Saki, but something much worse comes for you. For when you die, it will be...without honor!"
Leonardo slashed right through Omega Shredder, and the helmeted man was blasted right to the core of the Technodrome and widened his eyes." YOU WRETCHED TURTLES CANNOT STOP ME! I AM…AHHH!"
Despite his howls of rage, his last thoughts were of pain as he hit the core, causing a explosion that vaporized every cell of him. Leonardo saw his hated enemy at last perish before he took a deep sigh." At last…its done."
Michelangelo wiped a tear out of his eye before he tried to stay strong." You can rest easy Splinter…we finished your fight for real now."
Venus sighed before she fell to the ground." I'm glad I arrived in time to help the nightmare end."
An explosion caused the entire Techodrome to get blasted down, and as Leonardo helped his sister from another universe keep from falling off he sighed." Thanks Venus, Casey. But are vendetta may be over but the nightmare's far from over. Lets make sure we can end this with a pizza party right bros?"
As the other turtles nodded they tried to figure out how to best help the battle from here.
As they did, Sinestro was one of the many who was gauging the current state of the battle.
He saw Doctor Doom took the attacks of members of the " Sinister Six" Rheinholt Kragov or Electro, and Franklin Hall or " Graviton", and had the redirected gravity take out Electro, while the redirected lighting shock Gravitron unconscious, and also saw the soldiers Bill Rizer and Lance Bean shoot down the giant worm like Emperor Demon Dragon God Java while S.H.I.L.D Agents May and Quake took out the traitor Grant Douglas Ward and his powers from the Inhuman parasite Alveus before he snickered.
As he saw many of the other members of the" Ultimate Legion of Doom" being beaten back he grasped his fist tightly as he glared at John Stewart. " Don't you fools realize how worthless it is trying to keep your spark of light going? The very universe itself, has a dark soul at its core! Your flames of will power mean nothing! I'll prove it!"
Sinestro had his ring shoot a beam out to go to planet Umbrax, before it unleashed a shock-wave. While it did not seem to do anything the red faced man smirked." That…just stopped the universe from expanding…and the last barrier to the invisible spectrum has been dropped!
You killed the entire planet of Xanshi out of your arrogance! The hate you hide inside, the guilt, that energy…your potential is limitless! Its your fate to down in darkness Stewart!"
He waved his hand before he created a projection of Hal Jordan, and had the purple shape of a man charge at the Green Lantern like a homing missile as Hal moaned like a zombie." Why Johnn…why!?"
Sinestro saw John try and block the projection of his former student before he snickered." See Stewart?! You've done nothing but damn your kind! Give up! You failed!"
He created more twisted projections of dead Green Lanterns and other friends of John and had them swarm him. As John was consumed Sinestro looked bitter." I would have made you my paladin in the greatest corps in the multiverse, one that would have some of the best results in all of the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation! But I knew better…you've never been anything but a foot soldier!"
John winced before he grasped his ring tightly." Actually…I'm also an architect! "
Jessica Cruze flew by and blasted the twisted shadows off her teammate before John had a whole building of will power come down to try and crush Sinestro like a bug.
For a moment John wondered if it worked, till a giant demonic claw burst out of the green building and headed right for him. John tried to block the energy, but could only stop himself from being ripped apart as he was still sliced in the chest. As Sinestro emerged he looked coldly at the man in green." Your will to build means nothing when it lacks any clarity. Will is useless, fear is the one true light of order! Let what stands for worthless relics be gone!"
Sinister cut off John's ring hand before he snickered." And now it's done. We will show this multiverse true fear. After its done and I made my Sinestro Corps burn brighter then the pedestrian Green Lanterns ever could…then everyone will understand there is no alternative but to join order, or be crushed by it!"
John grasped his hand before uttering," If the right way does not work, I' try harder, be better!"
"You can't try harder when the spark in your lantern is blown out! Its over!"
John saw the wave of energy coming from what Sinestro unleashed before he grasped his sole hand." Its only over when I say its over."
"If you can't accept reality, then just die!"
Sinestro smashed John all the way into Umbrax, and shrugged before he looked at the Tuning Fork. He saw Doctor Doom, Doctor Who and some others escort Bugsy inside before he grasped his ring tightly." Tell Sidious I'm cleaning out the rats. I'll, huh?"
He saw a spark of light from above before John showed he was not done yet and came back down with his limb burning with raw green energy.
John narrowed his eyes before uttering," You're not being anyone's back up Sinestro…it's not over!"
"What…but your ring!"
"I don't need it, when I'm part of the Godstorm!"
"What…did you become a White Lantern? No…even the life entity can't grant that kind of power!"
"It's beyond even the emotional spectrum Sinestro, its entirely unlimited, stemming from the Source itself. Your blow just, kick-started it.
You looked down on humans for so long, but Earth is one of a few "Crux" worlds that are basically worlds that have the most potential or something
Some can have a "Ascension" where inhabitants of Crux Worlds basically evolve into 5th world beings, and you smashing all that energy into me caused that to go into overdrive!
Instead of putting my light out, you put fuel on the fire! I can restart Oa's Central Power Battery right about now and still have enough energy to go all day!"
Sinestro's eye twitched before he yelled out," That's still not enough! Your just one fool trying to carry on a dying cause!"
"Your wrong!" John yelled back." They are all still in my memories, and with the Godstorm…my memories are your nightmares!"
John showed his new power by having projections of his fellow superheroes friends like Flash, Mister Miracle, Stargirl, Cyborg, Starfire, Firestorm, Hawk-Girl, Doctor Fate, Plastic Man, and Hal Jordan himself.
Sinestro found himself being barraged at all sides before he yelled out," No, Korugar 's future can't be in the hands of fools like you!"
"Better a fool than a fascist Sinestro! Whatever happens, at least they will have a chance for freedom! In the end your vision was way to damn narrow!"
"NO!"
Sinestro realized how quickly things were reversing for his situation as John burst through his construct, and smashed the leader of the Sinestro Corps into Warworld hard enough to cause explosions to break out.
John saw Jessica was taking out many of the lesser Corps members before he glanced back at the tower." If we just hold the line, we can do this!"
As the supercharged Green Lantern attacked the incoming Star Destroyer's, some of the others were able to get into the tower.
Bugsy was just trying to hang on the entire time and not be blown away or crushed. Doctor Who, Ratchet, members of the Doom Patrol and the others were able to get inside the tower.
The counterpart of Ben Auro from another universe ducked as he saw more lasers and bullets fly by before he gulped." T…this is the place right? We made it?"
Robotman blocked a bullet from hitting the gangster before moaning out," Ever hear of jinxing yourself dude?"
"Yah I get it metal man but like, I just have to press the button now right?"
Doctor Who looked around before she sighed." It does seem we have to do a bit of house cleaning first."
They saw many scientists in the chamber, including the Maker. The radical version of Reed Richards snickered as he made a mock gesture." Oh…you're a cheeky one eh? We will have to show these simpletons how stupid they are, eh Brain?"
A brain hooked up to a vacuum cleaner like machine rolled up before uttering," Yes…we are going to make an example of them eh Monsieur Mallah?"
A Gorilla with a red beret on his head roared before the Maker smirked." Oh…this is going to be fun. Crossbones...Hans Grosse...start the party."
Before the gunmen could act, a loud voice shouted out," RICHARDS!"
An explosion blew open the roof, before Doctor Doom descended. The man with the metal mask narrowed his eyes before making a dramatic gesture." I knew these reeked of a machination however corrupted, that was just like you. Now…I can wipe out this disgrace."
The Maker looked at Doom and snickered." Ah, another vintage Victor eh? You know…the Doctor Doom in my universe thought he was so smart having Magneto flood earth…but all his dramatic Ultimatum really did was piss off my version of Ben enough to crush his head."
"I assure you…I'm not from your inferior universe "Maker." You may not be the same…but you're still a meddler just like my Richards. Only this time…the stakes are far more then my pride."
"You dare think a has been like you can stop us? Even if you were big enough to take over your entire universe, we think in much bigger terms."
"Oh I dare quite a bit."
"Maybe…but the thing is I don't have the weakness most of my counterparts have. My version of you said that I was distracted with modern concerns so precious to my kind.
Ethics, order, society…when all that mattered was survival. In the end I realized you were right, and I became far better at world building than you ever could be."
"Did you really delude yourself into thinking power makes impossible choices more palatable? As foolish as my Richards was, he was never this stupid. I always had power, Reed. But nothing has ever been easy.
And if it was easy, it was not worth doing. You want to close your hand on everything left and call it yours…because you're so afraid of losing things that you failed to see that a tree is just a seed in its realized state.
That is what always causes your fall Richards…abandoning the good because you desire the perfect. It took looking at my own ego, but I understand now…I know what this is. It's the same thing as always. You, all of you think you're better than me."
"Because I am better than you doc." The Maker spat out." I'm just not trying to be modest like your Reed apparently was!"
"No…you're an inferior mockery of the man who is my rival."
"Inferior eh? Let's see how long that lasts!"
He pressed a button before many beams hit Doom before he could react. As Doom fell to his knee the Maker laughed." You think this is the first time I had to shut down a mad Doom? I just shut down all your tech and magic in one fell swoop! Was that your trump card? Some super new Doom machine?"
"Doom 's trump card was not a machine this time, it's your true weakness."
"What…a magic rock? You, GUH!"
A blast came down from above to hit Maker to the ground. As he was sent flying a new voice cut in with," No…me."
Everyone saw a man with long blond hair and a beard fly down. The Maker noticed the four on the man's chest before his eye twitched." What? You, you're not another me, who are you!?"
"Your smart" Dad" Figure it out."
The Maker winced before uttering," Wait…your Franklin Richards…Reed's son that's power to bend reality is so strong that even Galactus fears you?"
"Yup…and you piss me off."
The Maker twitched as he saw Doom get back up before he smirked." Oh so that's it eh? You're the boy raised by Doom to prove you did it better?"
"That's not what it is." Doom uttered." Franklin here was raised by Richards…and we fought many times. But, we both cared for his sister Valaria, my god child. And your master killed her. So we are united…to avenge her."
The Maker saw some of the others in the room get anxious before he laughed." I thought you two were smart but your reduced to base emotions…what a joke."
Doom grasped his fist tightly before hissing back," You're the one who understands nothing Richards. Across this multiverse there are universal constants…things that always happen. A Reed always walks through a bridge to join the Reeds' across the Multiverse.
You all build suns and try and save universes. But the true strong one was the one who left them because he refused to make the sacrifice each of them had…he refused to abandon those he loved for the greater cause.
They put the desire to fix the Multiverse ahead of the few…their families. It was a logical rational choice…but the wrong one. And out of all the Reed's across the Multiverse…you are the most foolish of them all" Maker."
The younger Reed Richards grit his teeth before he snickered out," You think you can guilt trip me? All your feeling mean jack in the face of a god damn Universal Entropy Gun that will blow punches a hole in an "impenetrable object" with an anti-matter shell and delivers a payload of rapid equilibrium!
You make mistakes, don't you, doom? Mistakes that kill friends, ruin lives. Mistakes that blow up in your face. That's you, doom. Doom is your name, I'm as sure of it as I am my own. Everything you touch, everything you are, everything you love - all doomed. Accept this, and be free."
The Maker laughed madly as he fired a shot from the Universal Entropy Gun, only for Franklin to fire a beam at it. The Maker snickered as he had his bullet neglect Franklin's power, but Doom combined his power with the son of his rival, and their combined power was too much for the Maker as Doom uttered," Doom will only accept his terms, no one else! Be gone!"
The Maker saw the projectile go into his chest before he uttered," I can fix this…I am the…AHHH!"
The projectile consumed him before he was vaporized. As he was killed the Brain winced before uttering," Wait, we can do anything if we put are minds to it, I, AHH!"
Rita of the Doom Patrol poured hot eat over his exposed brain before uttering," Sorry, we are just about done putting up with fascists nutjobs ranting."
Doctor Who looked around before she shrugged." Alright…this just might be secure."
Before the others could go to work a new voice cut in with," Doctor…have you not realized it yet? You will never be secure from who you're opposing."
As a barrier of energy came down to paralyze everyone a old woman in a IV & J uniform walked out. While no one recognized her, the Doctor's eyes widened." You…you changed your face but I'd never forget your energy any ware… Tecteun."
"Well with your pal Missy being all tripped up I knew I had to take charge…Galfrey 's destiny was on the line. But yes, I'm the one who found you. I brought you to Gallifrey and raised you.
I'm Tecteun. The woman you used to call Mother. It's over, Doctor. It has been ever since we let a virus into the experiment.
"What sort of virus...?"
"You. You got out from Division, and you couldn't leave the universe alone. Tsc…I blame myself a little, but mostly, I blame you. I thought you were manageable. But I had to admit what I always knew deep down—you'd never stop if you rediscovered what Division had done. Morality was always your flaw.
"Morality is a strength.
"And when you knew the truth, you'd never stop hounding us.
"So the multiverse has to end to protect the existence of the Division's sins?"
"Precisely, which is why we are helping Mister V-Day engineered this Flux that will shut the multiverse down, and you within it. Except even then, you interfere, disrupting the Flux, just as it came into existence—throwing yourself and a TARDIS in front of it!"
"And you're being evasive. A completely transparent power move, and not very effective."
"I'm just doing what will put an end to the risk that would deny us what we deserve. But you been very stubborn so if you want to die in peace, I'll answer a few questions. I mean Of course, you have a lot of questions. It must be hard to know where to start."
"No, not hard at all. The hard bit is getting you to deign to answer."
"So, you'd like to know about Division.
"Yes. Are you in charge of it, or just behaving like you are?"
"Well, it's complex, but I suppose yes, right now, leadership falls to me.
"Leadership of what, though? What is Division now?
"Division is simple, and indescribable. It began on Gallifrey as a group to ensure the safety of our galaxy. As our ability to travel grew and our horizons broadened, Division kept pace. The number of operatives grew.
"And what did these operatives do?
"Anything we needed. Guided and shaped events.
"Interfered, in contravention of all Time Lord directives."
"Not every civilization works or is enlightened. Some require help. Some needed to be told. Division assessed and acted accordingly.
"How much did it interfere? How big has it become?
"Colossal. Across Space and Time, its influence is unparalleled, its reach is unlimited. All from the shadows. It achieved its aim beyond our wildest dreams. Division is magnificent.
"I don't think having Weeping Angels do your dirty work can be classed as magnificent.
"Division recruits across all dimensions, from all species. It had to."
"You… You're generating the final waves of the Flux from here, forcing spatial compression on the Multiverse. You're trying to move this structure into the next universe while you wreck the one you leave behind. No wonder this place feels under so much pressure."
"We all need to clear up after ourselves. That's why I had you brought here, to ensure you won't be in the multiverse to save it.
"So, was what the Master…what Missy told me true?"
"Yes. I found you. A lost child, alone, beneath a monument on a deserted planet, seemingly deposited thereby a wormhole. No way back, no one to care for you.
"You took something that didn't belong to you."
"I rescued you. Would you prefer to have been left?"
"You assumed I came through that wormhole, but you don't know. What if I was waiting there to collected? What if I was supposed to be taken through it? What if whoever left me there was taken by that wormhole?
"What if, what if, what if?"
"You denied me my life!
"I gave you a life. Everything you are is because of me. But I understand. You think you could have been something else, someone else.
"Maybe. I'll never know."
"You judge me for giving you the journey of your lifetime. What do you do, Doctor? Pick people up, take them with you? You adopt them, use them, for reassurance, for company. They're your experiments, just as you were mine."
"We are not the same. Listen to me. I'm gonna save my friends. I'm gonna save the Multiverse. And I'm gonna destroy Division and the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation you merged with.
So hold on to that hat, because you, me, and the end of the universe? Oh it's personal now. And I'm gonna win. AHH!"
The figure Doctor Who once saw as her mother had energy rupture course through everyone else as she snickered out," No you won't. We will initiate the Final Sanction. The end of time will come at my hand. The rupture will continue until it rips the Multiverse apart. Then, something new will come…something pure…and…GUH!"
She was blasted to the ground, and as she got up, she saw Missy stagger in. The former Master had her eye twitch before hissing out," They call me mad…but mum…that' s just plain suicide!"
The older Time Lord glared at the interloper." You always been a broken twit! We will ascend to become creatures of consciousness alone.
Free of these bodies, free of time, and cause and effect, while creation itself ceases to be. You are diseased, albeit a disease of our own making. No more. You had a chance to be part of the new era, if you just behaved!"
"As your dog!?" Missy spat back." No…no " mum" the bells in my head were all from you! You did this to me! All of my life! You made me! One! Two! Three! Four all the moments of pain were from you! ENOUGH!"
She fired at Tecteun, and while the former Shobogan scientist from the planet Gallifrey countered with a beam, it distracted her long enough for Doctor Who to take out her Sonic Screwdriver and utter," Yes…enough of the lies, the new era free from your lies starts now!"
She and Missy combined their power to vaporize Tecteun, and everyone was able to get back up before Bugsy coughed hard." Is…is everyone else done with there lifelong grudges or are we going to be here all night?"
The Doctor saw that the others in the chamber were either killed or knocked out before she sighed." No…we cleared out the hostiles. Well, almost. Missy…what are you going to do now?"
The long-time rival of Doctor Who snickered as she staggered up." Further revenge of course…but that means I have to help you stop these dicks right?"
"Yes…thank you. Do you know anything about are enemies' plan?"
"Tsc, just that they are going to keep ramping up how nasty they get till they win, so we don't have time to waste."
"Very well. Its time Bugsy, I know this is all new to you but please follow are instructions as best as you can."
The lanky man saw Clank motion to the center of the room before he shrugged." Hey…I'm all for doing something that people will be happy about for once. Just hope to see at least one of these assholes faces by the end of it to know someone like me blew up their plan."
As Bugsy prepared to do whatever he had to, Missy was not wrong, for the other members of the Hydra Empire were not taking the fact that they were losing very well.
Palpatine, among with everyone else onboard the Eclipse Star Destroyer saw that all the cameras from inside the Tuning Fork had gone offline before the Dark Lord of the Sith snickered." Do these Rebel scum think just because they can hide in one of are structures they won? They don't realize it's the property that matters, not the people.
One of the perks of a clone army. Gideon…Dagan Gera...Baylan Skoll…do what Maul, Grevious, and Dooku could not and finish this war. Bombard the capital with poison and radiation till no one can survive on it. The Sith have waited for so long, we can wait a bit longer."
A older black man in Imperial armor, and a older white male with a beard with black robes and armor that had an orange-bladed lightsaber bowed before Baylan uttered," As you get older, look at history, you realize it's all inevitable. The fall of the Jedi, rise of the Empire. It repeats again and again and again. But this…this will break the cycle forever."
Palpatine saw the hologram showing all the guns on the Star Destroyer that was about to fire before he smirked." Its time they all learn that there is only one plan—one great design which shall govern the universe…if not the Multiverse—mine. They will all pay for their lack of vision as the, what?"
An alarm blazed out, before a refined EML-850 light freighter shocked the Sith Lord by flying right through the shields of his ship, and crashing through the window.
While the ship crashed right into the Star Destroyer, the ship was stable as Anakin, Kenobi, and Qui-Gon Jin landed before Anakin glared at the man who was his master in another universe." You're going to pay for your lack of vision Sheeve…once and for all. That was some slick flying Kay."
A woman who wore a blue jacket over a white shirt in jeans. in staggered out of the door before she gave an uneasy thumbs up." It's cool, the Trailblazer got through worst getting away from Zerek Besh. Still, I need to lay down now."
Palpatine saw the Jedi take out their light sabers before he smirked." How good of you not to hide, my apprentice. Submitting to destiny will make things much easier for everyone."
"I'm not your tool! I won't fall for the lies like the others!"
"Don't worry Anakin, you don't have to go through this alone." Qui-Gon uttered, causing Palpatine to snicker." So, in a universe where Maul fails to kill him, Qui-Gon Jin keeps you on the path as a Jedi? Well then…I'm even more delighted I saw him die at Maul's hand. You can not defy destiny my apprentice, it will end at the same spot ,right Lord Vader?"
The five masked warriors all walked up and in unison uttered," Yes…my master."
Anakin saw himself and looked disgusted at there master." Becoming Vader is not my destiny, just the one you forced on me! You forced the others into being the piece you wanted with your lies, but when your true nature is exposed in the light you will answer for what you done!"
Palpatine no longer looked amused as he hissed out," You only say that because you don't know the true, full power of the Dark Side of the Force. A you that was too afraid of the Dark Side, can never oppose it!"
He suddenly unleashed a burst of Force Lighting, before another man with a Light Saber jumped out of the Trailblazer. He had a red lightsaber and had armor like a Sith, but clearly was with the Jedi as he looked at Palpatine." You don't know the Dark Side as much as you think, but I do."
Palpatine winced before uttering," You look like…Darth Raven? It matters not, another traitor to the Sith can't change anything."
Raven grasped his blade tightly before uttering," Maybe in your universe my counterpart died to, but in mine I overcame Malik's betrayal and managed to shut down Sith Emperor Vitiate— 's invasion, and I'll do the same to you."
Palpatine just widened his eyes before hissing out," You understand nothing traitor. The force I'm aligned with makes the old Sith Empire's look like mere street gangs. None of you have what it takes to stop this. Your deaths will be the final word in the story of rebellion!"
"We will write are own stories damn it! Bastila, Meetra, Cathar, Bindo, cover me!"
Dagan Gera snickered as he had his lightsaber float around him." I'm not afraid of inferior Jedi! That wretched Order will rue the day they betrayed me and forsook Tanalorr!"
He had his lightsaber float around before Raven blasted him in the face with Force Lighting while uttering," I'm no Jedi fool."
Four other Jedi surrounded their friend as the others tried to attack him and instantly warded off attacks from Gidon and Baylan as Anakin charged at Palpatine, only for the nearest Vader to attack him.
As he got into an intense lightsaber battle with himself the former Pod Racer yelled out," No way am I losing to a crippled version of myself!"
Palpatine snickered as he leaned back." It's true that in some realities the process that turned you into a full dark lord of the Sith, eroded your performance in this case my apprentice, its quantity over quality."
As Anakin saw a red colored Vader come at him form behind he shrugged." As someone else said, double the pride, double the fall!"
Anakin dodged another lightsaber slash and sliced the pillar behind him. He had the black Vader slash the pillar and cause it to fall. The red Vader used the force to catch the pillar, but Anakin threw his lightsaber to hit the Vader. His target withdrew his head fast enough to be decapitated, but still got hit in the face.
Anakin braced himself, but widened his eyes as he saw someone that was not his face, but someone that looked a bit different. He saw the frozen look in the man behind the mask before he winced." That…looks like…he could be related to me."
"That's right…search your feelings…you know it to be true!" Palpatine hissed out, causing Anakin to scream out," No!"
"Yes…he's your son…Luke."
Anakin saw Luke looked frozen like a puppet before he glared at the one pulling the strings." Damn you! You could not turn me so you turned my son!"
"Sometimes." Palpatine coly replied." Sometimes…I go all the way to a great, great, great grandchild. Right Cade Skywalker?"
The Green Vader took off his mask, to show a man with curly blond hair, a descendant of Luke from another timeline just nodded before his master 's grin widened further." No matter how long it takes…destiny reach's ' fated point. Don't you see now Anakin? You Jedi are fated to fall to the dark side…because it's the true nature of the Force.
You Jedi have always been the ones who tried to repress the true nature of things. Sometimes you delay it better longer than others, but you always fail. That's why this is all so very…very futile."
Anakin winced, and one of the Vader's took his pause to try and slash his face. However Kenobi threw his own lightsaber and caused that Magenta Vader's helmet to get destroyed to.
Both Jedi were shocked to see it was Padme behind the mask before she uttered," Its all your fault Ani, I would have been happy, if not for you!"
She tried to impale Kenobi, only for Raven to parry the strike. Anakin saw Gidon and Baylan get impaled by Bastila and Meetra, before Raven uttered," Stick to the plan! He can spin things all he likes but the reality is clear!"
"He's right." Anakin uttered as he grasped his lightsaber." Sheeve…you twist everything to make it seem like you're the best person to rule, but its all based on your lies! When you cut them down…you're just a heartless man who had no right to lie to everyone."
"I have every right Anakin…because I have unlimited power! But so be it Jedi...if you will not turn you will be destroyed!"
He unleashed a massive lighting bolt at Skywalker, and his target blocked the bolt with his lightsaber and nearly got blown off his feet. Palpatine saw Anakin look pained before he looked even more psychotic." This is your only destiny if you renounce your master, one of ashes! Because you could never overcome me boy!"
Kenobi and Qui-Gon both ran up and blocked some of the lighting with their own lightsabers before Qui-Gon uttered," Maybe one on one, but he's not alone! You made him seem like you were his only family but he's not alone, he has a real family and you're not part of it!"
Sidious saw the lighting was about to come back to him before he quickly cut it off. He saw all the Jedi breath hard before he snickered." Did you really think I would just allow you to kill me with my own attack? Your pitiful band is worthless in the face of one who is all of the Sith!
Thanks to my…alliance with the IV I have all of the powers of the Sith Lords of the past! Vitiate, Bane, Ragnos, all of their powers is within me! I even mastered Vitate's ritutal that he used to absorb the souls of all beings on planet Nathema to make himself inmortal.
And with all the strong souls below...absorbing them all into me would make me become what I always deserved to be.
And yet you think your youthful vigor is enough to overcome what I have become?"
Anakin saw lighting crackle around the man he once saw as his father figure before he noticed Raven nod, and smirked." We won't know till we try."
"If that's the case then what Dooku did to you will look like mercy before we are done you, huh?"
From the Trailblazer a battle droid with a jacket on it, JX394ND-5777, fired something out of a bazooka right at the leader of the Hydra Empire. Palpatine used the force to freeze the projectile before he hissed out," You really thought a mere bomb could be enough to, huh?"
He saw something was in the orb, a lizard-like tree-dwellers about fifty centimeters long. The Lizard just moved around in the sphere before Palpatine felt his grip weaken and he uttered," No…NO!"
Anakin smirked before he cracked his neck." You may have every power of the Force of every Sith lord, but it's still powered by the Force! And if this Ysalamiri with its power to repel the Force by creating a Force-neutral bubble cuts you off from the Force, then its useless!"
Palpatine tried to cast Force Lighting, only for nothing to come out before he grit his teeth." No…I cannot be denied!"
"You spent so much time obsessed with the force that you forgot that there is life outside it! And you can't live without it!"
Palpatine took out his lightsaber before yelling out," I am still the supreme, GUH!"
With his link to the force cut off Anakin punched him in the face with his metal hand, and hit him hard enough to knock him out. Kenobi ran up and kicked the old man in the face to knock his tooth out before he took a sigh of relief." Nice work Anakin. As long as we keep the Ysalamari around him, it should keep him neutralized."
A explosion broke out, but Raven's group was able to secure the bridge before Qui-Gon nodded." Good work controlling your feelings Anakin…if anyone here has information about the bigger picture it would be him…so if we can secure him for just a while longer we might be able to get a advantage. He may be to dangrious to keep alive, but we have to risk it for the sake of the mission. We just have to secure the rest of the planet."
Anakin saw Raven and ND-5 go to secure Palpatine before he nodded." You and the rest of your group of would-be Emperors will never end the rebellion Sheeve even with a fleet of Death Stars. Before this is over, you're going to see we are not going to break no matter how hard you try. C'mon!"
The Jedi made sure to secure the bridge before seeing how the rest of the plan went. Down below, the other members of the Alliance were also turning the tide.
At the moment Ra's was still fighting Batman, and got cut in the face before he snickered." For all your bluster, you are just an ordinary man in a cape! That's why you couldn't fight injustice and that's why you can't stop our destiny! No tool you have can stop this."
"Maybe, but my family has tools as well."
Ra's saw Dick Greyson run at him, and while he prepared to counter the Robin just yelled out," Adhesive Bat-Bomb!"
While his target parried the blast, he was instantly caught in black goo. He yelled out in outrage before hissing out," You…your no warrior!"
"I may not be a killer but that does not mean I stick to a warrior's honor!" Batman cried out." I'll do whatever it takes to keep people alive, because unlike you I still think people are worth saving and I'm not just a killer from the shadows, I"m the god damn Batman!"
Taliah saw Batman punch her father in the gut, and while she was distracted Catwoman lashed her with her whip and threw her into Damian. As the two were both taken out the woman in a cat suit smirked." That's what your family gets for being too uptight. Now, if only it was that easy for everyone."
As the Bat group prepared to move on, back around the Lincoln memorial, after Deadpool injected Wolverine with Golden Adamantine, the X-men was able to turn the tide with his superior metal.
This made Sabertooth and Lady Deathstrike both go berserk, and at the moment, Wolverine bitterly slashed at the alternate version of the woman he once loved before Deathstrike yelled out," Just submit and die " Weapon X!" Silver Fox, Janet, Seraph, Mary McKenna, Catharine, Atsuko, Abilene, Rose Carling, Itsu, Cracklin' Rosa, me, you ruined enough woman by getting in their life! You're a curse…just vanish!"
Wolverine was pressed to a wall before he grit his teeth." I know…my life has caused more harm then good. But its not over yet…and if I stuck around this long…I'm going to make it mean something damn it! A lot of people have tried to kill me, and I'm still here, cause I'm fighting till my family is safe and I don't have to fight anymore! So family from another universe or not, GET OUT OF MY WAY BUB! FATAL CLAW X!"
With his new golden claws his unleashed a X shaped energy slash that sliced through Sabertooth and Death Strike. As the two fell Deathstrike yelled out," Damn you…Logan."
Wolverine sighed before he looked around." Sorry…but I got to keep fighting. Even these pain in the asses are still worth fighting for."
As he saw his children from another universe get taken down he dodged a bullet, snarled and kept fighting.
Meanwhile "Superior Carnage" saw his allies fall and yelled in fury," Damn you simpletons. Your refusal to accept you are inferior just delays the destiny of all fools!"
His back twitched before he had a barrage of spikes burst out in all directions, only for Venom to yell out," We are not inferior, WE ARE VENOM!"
He then extended his jaw and bit many of the spikes at once to give an opening before Felicia blasted him again with the Sonic wave. As the corrupt fusion of Doc Ock and Carnage screamed in pain Spider-Gwen, Scarlet Spider, and Spiderman Noir surrounded their foe before Scarlet Spider yelled out," If you think that killing is the only solution, you will never be the superior Spiderman! Its over doc!"
"That's right!" Spider-Gwen uttered." Stop making a mockery of everything Peter stood for! Triple Maximum Spider!"
All the Spider powered individuals hit "Superior Spider Carnage" In all directions so hard that the Carnage Symboite was launched out of him, right into Venom's mouth. As Doc Ock was launched out he was instantly hit by Scarlet Spider's Impact Webbing and slammed to the ground before Venom burped, and Gwen sided." We won't let you monsters get away with this."
She saw that despite Lex getting more frantic, those against him were starting to cause him to lose his cool thanks to his counterpart in the Alliance joining the fight.
At the moment Superboy tackled Lex through the White House gates before he hissed out," Damn it Luthor, the you where I'm from created me as his son. He did show he cared for me, so you guys must have some compassion."
"I do have compassion boy." Lex replied." Just for those on my side. In this business, there is no room for mercy."
As he smashed the younger Kryptonian through the ground his eyes widened." You knuckle-dragging morons. It was almost too easy. I can see clearly now. I can see through the clouds of possibility. I can see…that the fundamental forces are yoked by…will? Tsc…is this always how he sees things? Everything is connected. This is how he sees things…all the time…every day? Its all just us…and we are all we got."
Calvin took a deep breath before uttering," So you at last figured how things work Luthor? You see why all us Superman that take the job seriously?"
"Bah…I see how to save things better then any of you men of Steel ever did. If it was not for you humanity would be where they are suppose to be already"
Alexander Luthor blasted him before he could blast the others as the red haired man sighed." If it really mattered to you Lex, you could have done it already. I was the same, I made excuse after excuse, till my eyes were open. The time for you to prove between your ego and your desire is now."
"Don't lecture me you damn sell out! Well, I guess it all comes down to survival of the fittest. Doesn't it? The only path between Superman and Lex Luthor is one where only one is left standing."
"That's because you refuse to open your mind!"
All his enemies combined their attacks to fire a beam that blasted him so hard that his control over Superman wavered. As an explosion blasted out in the distance, and into the Legion of Doom ship hard enough to smash it to the ground, it was not clear if Luthor was down but he seemed knocked out for the moment.
Hydra Cap saw the state of most of the " Legion of Doom" and glowered." No…you can't win this war when you're this out gunned!"
"Who's tired?" Cap replied." I can do this all day."
Hydra Cap snickered before hissing out," Because you're just a blind fool! But you will learn soon enough who's resolve is real!"
Both Rogers' frisbee their shield's at one another which clang away as they brawl. Hydra Cap tried to slice his counterpart with Stormbreaker before veins formed on his forehead." I'm not just someone with your face, I am you! I had your hopes, but I'm the one who woke up to realize how worthless such things are!
Do you think your faith in the American Dream ever will be rewarded? Do you want to know who ends up being the true leader of America despite being a man who is everything that disgusts you? Twice!?"
"You can tell me whatever story you want, but in the end no matter what mistakes people will make in the future, I still have faith in America! Because I have faith that if we lose are way, others will steer us back!"
"Then you're a damn fool who will die alone!
We're the same. I have your strength, your skill. I know every thought you have and am superior to you in every way!"
Cap blocked his counterpart's strike while digging in with his shield."There's more to human beings than our bodies and minds. Something you'll never understand, our spirit! We never surrender. We never give up. Ever!"
"Then your going to learn the hard way what happens when the fool does not back down he loses his head!"
He prepared to slice the leader of the Invaders in half, before a shield hit him in the face. It bounced back, to Pagey Carter, one from another universe who had the same powers as Rodgers before she caught the shield and spat back." He's not dreaming alone Nazi."
Rodgers then head but his Hydra following counterpart before yelling out," I'll never accept your right soldier! FINAL JUSTICE!"
Captain America unleashed a barrage of attacks that smashed his counterpart into the air, before Carter threw Hydra Cap's shield at his head.
As he was knocked out, the Batman Who Laughs saw that most of his allies were falling, and saw that no matter how many "Dark Knights" he threw at Mike and Tyson, the duo kept taking down one foe after another before the pale man stopped laughing at seeing the Robin King being sent flying." Heh…your so very determined…but will can't last forever. Just like before…no matter how strong your flame burns…it will burn out!"
"You're the one who's not getting it asshole!" Mike yelled out as he blasted Devastator and Bat Hulk into the sun." Are back's to the wall…so we will keep the flame going for as long as it damn takes!"
Mike tried to go for Batman Who Laughs, only for Bat Ultimo to take the hit. As he got vaporized instantly the man who was the fusion of the Batman and the Joker winced." This joke's getting stale…it might be time for the trump card here."
At the moment Red Skull was punched through the Congress building and landed on a thud. He saw Uncle Sam come at him, and he was having trouble holding him back despite the Destroyer Armor, and saw Sin try and blast him in the back before Miss America hit his twisted child in the back with her own energy attack.
Sam saw the red man's anger before he yelled out," No matter how dig you Nazi's dug into the land of the free, we are kicking you out of our country you damn Kraut!"
"Heh, but don't you know what they say Sam? You can't go back home again. America will never go back to how you fools want it to be!"
"You don't understand what good people can rebound from Herr Schmidt! Your kind of evil never holds on for long!"
"Nein! All that power within my grasp…so the requiem will begin! I'll show you…how hard a grip that is. Its time…Osborn…is Project Gottmorder ready?"
The ground started to shake before the Green Golbin cackled out," Why…it just finished being completed."
"Then what are you, huh?"
A massive light blasted out of what use to be the Pentagon, before the Green Golbin flew out. Spider-Gwen rolled her eyes before spitting out," And hear I thought Gobby just turned tail and run."
Osborn smirked before he shrugged." Surprised? I knew you would be, but the best surprise is yet to come!"
The Scarlet Spider winced before he stepped back and put his hand up as the others prepared to charge." Stay focused…Spider Sense is going off the charts…Osborn did not come here unprepared."
The Batman Who Laughs eyed Osborn carefully before hissing out," You…you had a trump card ready eh?"
The Red Skull's eye twitched before hissing out," Then hissed out," Do it now Osborn…give the power to me!"
"I thought the power was supposed to go to the Führer?"
"He's been captured…now I am the highest-ranking member of the Hydra Empire so I take command!"
"Well…then its time the leader, takes charge."
Mike saw Osborn press a button and prepared to attack him, before a portal appeared right behind his target. And moments later a beam of light went into the Green Golbin.
For a moment nothing happened, till a shockwave of golden energy flashed across the entire planet. When it cleared, Osborn was still where he was, but his body now was pitch black. The Red Skull winced before spitting out," You failed Osborn! Your apology will be your life you damn goblin!"
Osborn let out a demonic roar before hissing out," Winners don't apologize Schmidt! I am done with putting up with your outdated nonsense! I'm beyond the Green Goblin…
I'm now…the Onslaught Goblin!"
Osborn's body transformed as he sprouted demonic wings, and had black fire come out of his mouth. He became a true demonic being as the very fabric of reality started to bend around him and he nearly looked like a living shadow.
As he growled out with what seemed like three voices at once he grasped his hand tightly." Spiderman…you think you and your amazing friends have won anything? Misery, misery, misery, that's what you've chosen. You had the chance to grasp true power but you choked on your weakness.
I'm showing mercy really, because no matter how much all of you be good dolts, in spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you. That's why its better to rule with fear, not love. Otherwise, your strong enough to have it all. BUT TOO WEAK TO TAKE IT! "
Tyson realized the entire planet was shaking before he winced." What the hell just happened? That dude had no power back in Arkham and now he's causing the entire planet to shake!"
Mike widened his eyes before adding," Wait…the energy from that bald chick, and the guy who was in pieces, they are both coming from this guy now! He…absorbed them?"
"No…just parts of there body." The Onslaught Golbin smugly replied." I transplanted Cassandra's brain into me, as well as Mister Nobody's heart. Thus…all their powers were merged into me, turning me into a quantum being of nearly unlimited power. Nigh-Omnipotence, was wasted on such immature brats, but at last such power is in the hands of someone who deserves it, me!"
The Batman Who Laughs winced before chuckling bitterly." He…upstaged my own plan?"
Osborn snickered as he grasped his hand tightly." I saw that someone tried to rig the transfer system, I just rigged it back! Sheeve, Shmidt, and half the other scientists tried to rig it so they got the power, so I had them all cancel each other out and rig the process even earlier than everyone else! Because no outsider is going to deny me my glory!"
The Red Skull widened his eyes before hissing out," Damn you Osborn! That was the body that was supposed to be mine!"
"You really trusted me Shmidt? You and Sheeve's obsession with outdated dreck from the past was non profitable! You bought your own propaganda but there is only one thing that matters here, and that's winning! Even Luthor and some of the others cared more about being" Right" than winning! I'll just kill everyone that gets in my god damn way! That's why "Skull"…YOUR OUT! Grow back from this!"
The Onslaught Goblin had his muscles expand before his eyes glowed, and he formed a sphere of energy that looked like one of his pumpkin bombs. He casually hurled it at the congress building where Skull, Uncle Sam and some of the others were.
Tyson winced and instantly moved at full speed to grasp Sam and Lady Liberty and warp them just as the projectile headed for the Red Skull. The long time Nazi already felt like he was burning before yelling out," HAIL HYDRA…AHHHH!"
He was vaporized instantly as the explosion vaporized the entire building. Mike saw how deep the hole went before he grit his teeth." This guy did the same thing Brandon did…but he seems like he knows how to use that kind of power a whole lot better…damn it."
Scarlet Spider saw Osborn give off a psychotic burst of laughter before he winced." You really are out of your damn mind Gobby! You really think your god?"
"Guilty, guilty. And oh, so very guilty. Of being the new Big Man of crime and sin across the Multiverse! Still…that's the best quip you got left boy? No more clever little jabs and barbs? C'mon boy, I could use a good laugh! We're gonna play so many games you and I!
Oh, the screams I'm gonna wrench outta you! But don't worry, you're the lucky ones cause its going to be quick! It's my thanks for distracting everyone so I could rig the game to come out on top Parker! You kept sticking around like the stubborn bug you are, but your reward is finding out that life's a game, its not fair…and you lose! You lead these little spider sidekicks to the slaughter! But you see…of course, I can't abide divided loyalties. So you either get with the program, OR DIE! Forget Hydra…its bow to the Goblin King or get erased!"
He unleashed bombs in all directions, one able to blow up half of the Eclipse Star Destroyer in an instant. Kenobi saw the alarm bells go off before he looked at his fellow Jedi." You can still pilot half a ship right?"
Mike got into a fighting stance before uttering," That was some four degree chess alright asshole. But don't think it's enough to get away with this. You may have moved up among the ranks here, but your still over your head."
Scarlet Spider swung up next to Mike before nodding." You just bought the whole god program Osborn, and we sure as hell are not going to give you time to read up on how to use it!"
"Meddlesome bug!" Osborn yelled out as his aura blew the remains of the Techodrome, the remains of the Legion of Doom ship, and more away." This is where I finish you all forever and devour you whole! With all this power, it's easy to create a "aide program" to instantly give me the instincts to use the new options I got! I always planned ahead…and even when things were out of my control I always figured out how to one up the competition. That's why the day has finally come, behold! Normon Osborn, victorious!"
"Your wrong Osborn." Spider-Gwen muttered as she swung up." No matter how big you get, it just means your fall is going to be all the more painful!"
"She's right." Captain America uttered." We are not going to bow to any tyrant no matter what form they take."
"Oh you will…YOU ALL WILL!"
Osborn howled out as chucks of the ground broke out as more of the ground surrounded him." I held back for too long, but I'm not stopping till everyone gives me the respect I deserve! Time for your final curtain heroes!"
As everyone begun to do whatever it took to make sure" World War Hate" ended in their victory, Osborn's play for power was not only felt everywhere on the planet, but beyond.
At the moment Mary was looking at the Totality 's progress report before she felt something. She paused a moment before she smirked." Sieg…I think I'm going to take a walk. Seems that as the Song of Nephilim goes on, everyone's making their last push to be "at the seat of the table." I think I'll go on a walk to get a close up look…I want to see some moments up close before the end."
Sieg's eyes did not move an inch as he shrugged." Do what you want to amuse yourself, long as it does not deviate from the bottom line."
Mary closed her eyes before she turned around." Oh you don't have to worry about that…every thing I do is to see the Endsinger's Aria completed…everything."
Authors Notes: Welp…I know we had another massive battle royal but let's get started. The stuff from the Man in the High Castle may seem random but wanted to show how " Mostly normal" people were reacting I guess. Serpentor is from GI Joe.
William B.J. Blazkowiczis and Hans Grosse are from Wolfenstein 3D.
The Gomeramos King is the final boss of Contra one.
Catwoman, Talia, and Damian are all from Batman, I made Damian mostly be how he was in Injustice, never really liked him too much to be honest.
Black Cat and Venom are from Spiderman, Doc Ock's Superior Carnage is a merged of the final boss of the first Playstation Spiderman and the final boss of Spiderman Edge Of Time in some ways.
Crossbones and " Hydra Cap" are from Captian America.
Lex was mostly inspired by how he was in Justice League Unlimited with some aspects of how he was in Snyder's comic run, the brainwashed Superman was inspired by the Suicide Squad game and based off the new" Absolute Universe" DC has going on at the moment.
The "Godstorm" power up John Stewart got was from the comics, along with the Gold Adamantium is a recent comic arc for Wolverine as well.
Lady Deathstrike, Sabretooth, Daken, and the rest of Wolverin's children are all from various X-men comics.
Francis is from the Deadpool movie, the Deadpool Corps is from Deadpool 3.
Venus de Milo is from the Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation live action series, as reviled as that one is wanted to get aspects of all the Turtle history in the fight.
Casey Johnes is from the 2003 version of the Turtles show, and while Omega Shredder is an original idea, its inspired by the TMNT: Shredder's Revenge - Dimension Shellshock DLC boss fight.
And while we are on it, RIP to Peter Renaday, voice of Splinter from the 90's series. While I liked the Splinter in the 2003 series more, got to give the man props for being the first version of the rat mentor and for coming back a few times.
But meanwhile, Nathan Richards is from the Fantasy Four, The Brain and Mallah are from Doom Patrol, and Tecteun is from Doctor Who. I combined some bits of her confrontation with that of Rassilon's confrontation with the Master earlier but, both were corrupt time lords I suppose lol.
For Star Wars, Kay Vess and ND-5 are from Star Wars Outlaws, while Reva is from Star Wars Kenobi and…Mae-ho "Mae" Aniseya and Qimir are from Star Wars: The Acolyte.
Dagan Gera is from Star Wars Jedi Surivor, Shin Hati and Baylan Skoll are from the Ahsoka show, Ventress is from Clone Wars, while Moff Gideon is form the Mando.
Meanwhile Cade Skywalker was from the Star Wars: Legacy comic series, the end point of the EU timeline…to think THAT use to look like the most bleak future for Star Wars but now seems like a successful future lol.
Meanwhile…sadly also have to say rest in peace James Earl Jones…realizing that Darth Vader 's voice was from someone else got me to respect Voice Acting, and he still was one of the most iconic bad guy voices to me so, may the Force be with him…always.
Lastly…Onslaught Goblin is an original creation of mine inspired by both the original Onslaught from the X-men comics and the Batman Who Laugh's final form in Death Metal.
I'm going to be honest, originally I really thought that Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was going to be out by now and hoped to tie that finale to my arc, but with the movie that was suppose to be a direct follow up to Into the Spiderverse now maybe not coming out till 2027…waiting for that to come out would be a drag.
SO…had to make a few calls but Osborn's also inspired by his " Red Goblin" state where he was merged with Carnage in the comics, aspects of his more demonic version in the Ultimate Spiderman timeline, and what the Spot seemed to be turning into in the Spiderverse movie.
Osborn may not seem like the most natural choice of the one to come out on top out of the likes of Lex, the Red Skull, and Palpatine, and it's true that those guys have much bigger empires.
But while it's true that Palpatine has had a much bigger legacy, to me it was how Osborn, in most versions aside from those like the recent Spiderman games where he was a tad toned down, is one who's hell bent on making Peter suffer, where as Palpatine only really went after Luke after he died.
SO…hope people are happy with the choice of who came out on top, to boot I envision Normon in his "Onslaught Goblin state" sounding like the version from the Spider-Man: The Animated Series cartoon, The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon series, and the 2002 movie version all at once for extra insanity lol.
I know it was a lot going on, wanted to make it seem like a very expansive battle of legends to say the least. I know Mike and Tyson have not had much direct stuff but I'll just say it will get a bit more personal in the next chapter. Hope everyone likes how it turns out, thanks for the reviews, hope you like what you saw to leave more and see you all next time.
