《Reborn In DC (anti-hero)》 Chapter 1 - Wish Today is the start of the one week vacation of Marcus. Since he had been working very hard at his job ever since he started his boss had offered him a week of vacation. Tonight after getting out of work he went drinking with some work friend. after finishing he took a Taxi to go home. After getting out of the Taxi he enters his apartment and took the elevator. although he didn''t drink much he still felt dizi. While taking out his key and was about to open the door, he heard a woman cry out for help from the room next door. Usually, he would have turned a blind eye to any similar situation. But he was a little drunk and today was considered a great day for him. So he wanted to be nice, so he took out a coin "heads I interfere, tails I turn I blind eyes" then he flips the coin ======== ''Knock knock '' ''fuck, why was my luck so bad'' at first, it was one flip, then 2 out of 3 and 3 out 5, but it landed on heads most of the time. So here, he was knocking on the door of a drug addict/drunkard, who was also an ex-prisoner at midnight all that for is bad luck. At first, there was no response, so decided to leave but as soon he turned around. there was a loud crashing sound from the room immediately followed by the pleading voice of a woman. So he had to man up and ram through the door. Upon getting into the room the walk, he saw something that he thought he would only see in the movies. Is neighbors was on top of a woman, pressing her down under him with her clothes ripped off and is thing out, ready to **** her. All while she struggles to escape while crying and telling him to stop. Upon saying him, the woman immediately ask for help while upon is neighbor, in is crazy state, got up, grad the knife that was next to him and run toward him After a brief moment of silence, the women got up and run out of the room cry while holding her stuff. "Damn she didn''t even tha... Aaargh" looking down he could see that is neighbor had got up and had stabbed him. Looking at his neighbor face he could see a frenzy look in his eyes. Marcus immediately got mab using the rest of the broken bottle he stabbed his neighbor back. then both of then fall down, bleeding to death on the floor. ========== The next time he opens his eyes he found himself standing in a white room, where there was only an old man in front of him. "young man thanks for saving my daughter" '' let me get these straight the daughter of a god was so almost **** by a mortal'' "It was because I sealed her power for 100 years for sneaking out of the house (is universe )" ''she sneaked out... you know what I am not even going to ask'' "so for saving my daughter, I will grant you 5 wish" [First], I what to be reborn in the dc universe with all of my memories [Second], Tony Stark, knowledge and intelligence [Third], I want an upgrade version of Goro Goro no mi (lighting devil fruit). a version without the weakness and more powerful. [Fourth] I want to have the power of creation [Fifth] I want to have a beautiful wife that will age together with me.she have to be in love and loyal only to me. also, I want her to be a legendary Saiyan, she should be skillful in martial arts. "So those are your 5 wish" "yes" "those wish shall be granted, thank against for saving my daughter and have a good next life" "Thank you so much... God "after those words I blackout Chapter 2 - 5 years later Opening his eyes, Marcus could see that he was on a bed. Looking around him, he discovers that he was in a simple and clean room, with a little girl standing next to him. The little girl was excitedly looking at him. When she saw that Marcus had woke up she runs out of the room. Later she came back with a woman following her "you''re finally awake," say the women while approaching him and lift him. ''oh shit, I have to start as a baby'' ====== 5 years later it has already been 5 years since Marcus started living is new life. 5 years ago, the woman who lifts him was his mother. While the lite Girl was named Gine and she was the companion that he had asked God. During those 5 years, Marcus had started to train is power while showing his new parent is extreme intelligence and helping Gine train her self. Due to his intelligence, most of the time his parent would bring him a new book to read. But the bizarre thing is that he couldn''t figure out is parent Job. Most of the time his parent and Gine''s parent wasn''t at home. Our parent had said that they work out of the state but I didn''t believe it, after some research, I discover that they work out of the countries. Also, one day, while test the iron man armor interface, Marcus discover a hidden space in is parent room. After some searching, Marcus found the hidden room in the closet and open it. Inside he could only see a collection of different type of gun, munition and even grenade. if there living at Gotham he could of accept but they were living at Central city. I''m So after discovering this he immediately grabs his ??ptop and starts searching for his parent identity. while doing this Gine walk in the room and sit next to Marcus "what are you doing" "searching for our parent real Job" "why" after checking the closet Gine return and sit next to Marcus. After a few minutes, Marcus found that their parent was mercenary. that''s cool having mercenary parents. After that, Marcus told Gine to keep it a secret, fix the closet the way it was before. They also check Gine parent apartment and found that the also had a hidden room full of Gun and sword. anyway, Marcus had progressed with his plant during those five years. For example, he had already created the A.I Jarvis and right now he was using his computer to upgrade it with the help of the new knowledge he got from this world. After finishing it, Marcus walks to the bookshelf that was in his room, pick up a book and started riding it. A few years ago went had shown his parent his intelligence than were making him read a lot of science book he could see that some of them were more advanced than those in his memories. soon Gine walk in the room excitedly "its time for training" " Ok" Marcus got up and close the book and place it back on the bookshelf and walk in the middle of the room with Gine standing next to him "Jarvis, please start the teleportation " "Yes, Sir" "Yeah" ====== in an all-white room, two Kid suddenly appeared go change your self Ok, Gine says excitedly and run out of the room. Marcus walks to the computer that was in the room and started typing some code. "Jarvis is everything working alright " "yes, sir everything is working perfectly. With the help of this new upgrade, I can ?ssist you more properly." "Great" finishing typing the codes, Marcus walks out of the room toward the changing room, changing is clothing. he went in the gym where he could see Gine doing some stretch. so He went next to her and also start stretching. "Jarvis, you can start the danger room" immediately the room started changing. Building and skyscraper started growing out of the ground. after a few second Marcus and Gine was standing in the middle of a city. Suddenly the voice of Jarvis resounded through the city announcing the start of the training. ===== Gine was standing next to Marcus. after the announcement, he took a step forward whit electricity surrounding his body. in front of them, a group of robot started appearing, all of them were equipped with different types of weapons. Those whit gun immediately started shooting at them. Marcus retaliated by producing a force field around them, stopping all of the bullets. all was alright until the force-field was hit by an armor-piercing shell from a tank that was behind them. It had destroyed the force field but Marcus had created a more powerful one that b?r?ly manages to stop it. "Gine, go take care of those from the back" "Ok" after accepting her order, Gine immediately run toward the tank. although the order robot was firing at her it was alright she only had to put her hand in front of her face to protect it, while letting the bullet hit the order part of her body. Although when to bullet hit her she feels a little paid she could still endure it. Arriving in front of the tank she rams into it, pushing it back. then using all of the strength she could muster and flip it over. But she didn''t have time admire her work because she was surrounded by the robot ready to fire at her. But she didn''t wait for them and took action first take action. she runs toward the close robot to her and punches it. Gine when in a rampage destroying anything she could found. Marcus was floating in the air, with a force field around him stopping anything that was about it him. "I better start too" while floating in the air Marcus started concentrating is power forming a lance made of pure lighting. after evading the shell fire by the tank that was in front of him and throw the lance at it. the lance when trow the tank, melting the metal in is way and explode after entering the tank, sending a arc of lighting around it. "damn it," Marcus said while getting up. suddenly a robot came out of the shadow whit a sword stabbing it toward him Marcus immediately took action grading the sword, melt it using is power and touch the robot ?h?st, melting it. After touching the melted metal he starts reforming it as a sword and starts fighting with the order robot who appear one after one while keeping is force-field up protecting him from the bullet. BOOM.. aaaarg with the loud exploding sound and Marcus cried Gine was in panic locking toward the sound she could see that the building that Marcus was in was getting fired at by a squad of tanks. She immediately runs toward him. Arriving under the building she saw something that shocks her. she saw that Marcus was trow out of the building from an explosion, but luckily he use is power landing safely next to her. Enough Marcus cried angrily while using all of is power causing a thunder rain destroying the building he was in and the squad of tanks that were firing at him. after doing this he was filling weak forcing him to half kneel on the floor. "sigh it''s finally done ..oh no" After the smoke clears up he saw that a tank had survived the lighting storm is canon pointed at him. Having us all of its power he could form a force field. damn one more "aaaaaaaa" suddenly Gine started yelling while concentrating her ki and fire it at the tank destroying ''Would you like to continue to level two " "yes" Gine cries out excitedly. "No " "Ok sir" looking toward Marcus she was mad "why didn''t you let us progress to level two." "It is seen that your Saiyan side is acting up," Marcus said while walking in front her and flick is finger, sending a jolt of electricity through her body. which immediately paralyzing her, helping her realize the stat of her body. then she passed out. "Jarvis, can you bring us to the medic room." than Marcus past out from fatigue. "yes, sir." Chapter 3 - New powers Opening my eyes, I could see that I was sleeping in a medical bed. I slowly got up and walk to the bed beside me checking on Gine. With the help of advanced healing technology, all of her injuries had already healed. ======= A few days later Our parents had come back home. Give immediately run toward the door excitedly while I was walking behind her. But upon seeing my parent face I could see that something was wrong. Because when they look at Gine they had a look of sadness, regret, and pity. Later I discover that Gine parents had died in a car accident. Although I didn''t believe I try consoling her. After some research, I discovered that they had sadly died in a mission. That day Gine had cried herself to sleep and all this time I stay beside her until she went to sleep, consoling her. In the few days that follow, my family fallow the procedure and took Gine under them as her legal guardian. Like that she spent another 3 years together. ==== 3 years later it was already been another 3 years since Gine started living together with me and parent. They had treated her well. Yesterday, my parents are leaving for a week to complete a job. what they didn''t know was that I was the one that gives them the mission, sending them away for a week. Right now I and Gine were in my personal pocket space, packing some stuff. Finishing packing I walk toward the central computer and press a bottom opening a compartment showing a rectangle black box. I pick it up and put it in my bag. After packing we walk to the teleportation room and teleport on the rooftop of our apartment. Soon we arrived at our destination, it was an apartment. I had reserved one of the room on the top floor for three days. we sink in our room, after confirming there was nobody in here. we left what we didn''t need in the room and went on the roof, using the thing s that were in Gine backpack we started building a machine. the final versions of the machine was a futuristic chair. the chair was built to restrain me and process a type of energy. Standing in the edge of the building was looking down. further away from the building we were on was Start lab and today they will active the particle accelerator. the thing i am about to do might kill me or might give me superpower. "Sign" I took a dip breath and give out my command "They will active the particle accelerator in a few minutes so let prepare our-self" Gine was helping me get in the chair with a look of reluctance. after binding me to the chair and checking that everything was alright she took out the black box that was in my backpack, opening it and took out a chip. she places it in the back of my head, back away and activates the machine. After a few minutes, the particle accelerator was activated after a few more minute it explodes at that moment the machine activated attracting a park of the energy and send into me and the chip on the back of my head. the moment the energy hit me I could fell an otherworldly pain then I passed out. "Hmm," I slowly woke up, I could feel that I was on a bed. opening my eyes, I could see an unfamiliar siling. Looking next to me I could Gine sleeping. I was about to wake her up went suddenly I felt a huge headache. in my fill of vision, I could only see line code after line of code. The line of code kept increasing while my headache keeps getting worse to the point I felt like my head will explode. "Jarvis... stealth mode," I said through grinding teeth, immediately a small device flew out of my bag and project a low humming sound around the room. in this mode this device cool content any sound which me any sound made inside while not be heard outside. went couldn''t endure the pain anymore and started welling while holding my head. "aarg quick ..aaa...bag ..aaaa ..syringe..aaa.. quick" she tries to process his work, she immediately jumps out of the bed and runs to Marcus bag. After searching for a moment she found a transparent plastic box with a syringe in it. she runs back toward Marcus "is that it," she said while trying to show it to Marcus to confirm it all that while she was still crying. upon seeing it Marcus immediately well out " DO IT" Without any hesitation, she administrated the syringes through his neck. After a few second Marcus stop struggling and blood started ???k?n? out of is noose "Thanks" after seeing those work he passed out. ====== it was already morning, the sunlight was penetrating through the window. I slowly open my eyes, I got up and sit on the bed next to me Gine was asleep. so I am not dead I try to observe the surrounding went I suddenly notice something in the corner of my vision. it was my bag, this bag was full of tech went my eyes landed on it my vision became full of information, "i-it works... it really works" i cry out in happiness but it was short-lived. I suddenly start to be overflow by the information, I could already feel another headache coming "stop stop" I yell out. then I heard a female voice in my head respond to the order "ok" then the flow of information stop. My yell had caused Gine to wake up seeing that I was fine she immediately hugged me. I could ear my bone-cracking, I was about to tell her to stop but she was crying so I let her hug me while hugging her back consoling her. Chapter 4 - life 2 years later It has already been two years since the explosion of the particle accelerator. During those years a lot of things had happened. The most unexpected one was that Marcus parent had started to come home less and less. When they came home most of the time they spent less than a week. So Marcus and Gine had to spend most of there time by themselves but at least they had the privacy to develop secretly in a safe environment. That is until that day. ===== When their parent returned from there mission and arrived home they immediately told them to pack their stuff. Since Marcus was curious he told Gine to do it while he when to speak with his parents. when he arrived in the room he could see them packing their stuff like crazy. Seeing this he asked them what it''s going on. "We have to live quickly," his mom says while putting clothes in a bag. His Father squats in front of him and looks at Marcus. " Marcus, son I know you and Gine are not normal kids. that why I going to be truthful with you " he then took out a flash drive and pass it to me " your mom and I have betrayed some really powerful people and b?r?ly manage to escape. " he then grabbed my shoulder "if we don''t make it out alive you can get all the information in this flash drive also ... you to promise us..." Sadly my father didn''t get to finish his sentence because at this moment a string of warning appeared in my field of vision. I immediately took action by pushing my dad next to mom and use my power forming a force field around them. then there was a loud explosion and everything when black. ==== while Gine was packing the stuff like Marcus had told her there was an explosion. The shockwave had even sent her flying. For a brief moment, she felt disoriented. but after regaining her sense she remembers Marcus and her parent were in the room next door where the explosion can from the room. Realizing this she immediately runs out of the room getting in their room. The room was completely destroyed with fire everywhere. She immediately went into panic mode and started searching the room for them. Suddenly she heard a groaning sound, going toward it, she saw that dad was on top of mom protecting her. But it didn''t work very well as a metal bar had pierced both of them. Dad was already dead while mom was b?r?ly breathing. Suddenly there was the sound of lightning crackle, looking behind her. She saw that a part of the roof had fallen and she could hear lightning crackle coming under it. She when toward it and lift it up. under it she could see Marcus and his right arm was completely missing but it was getting reform by lightning that was gathering, forming a new arm. he got up and looks at Gine with sadness and regret. She stops paying attention to him and kneels next to mother, gently holding her and spook with her... b?r?ly holding my rage back. ==== After reforming his destroyed arm Marcus then stood in place watching Gine kneeling next to his mom comforting her. after a few minutes in Marcus field of vision, a 3D version of the apartment was created. Showing red dots moving toward his position. Seeing that Gine was occupied Marcus decided to take the situation in his own hand. Moving out of the room, while walking toward the door he took off his already destroyed shirt, then touch and modify any piece of metal I could get my hands on, reforming it as two sharp swords and using his power of creation creating a blank metal mask, a comfortable and durable one. Walking out of the room in stood in the middle of the alleyway looking in front of him. "I am going to make it simple. you guys just kill my parent and the next step is killing you guys... also don''t underestimate me " One of them had fired a bullet at Marcus and seeing that he had cut it in half with his sword, they were shocked. After a brief moment all of them open fire but with his years of training gaining strength and reflex, he cut every bullet in half. But just when they were reloading and he was about to go fight with them the wall next to them explode and Gine runs out, grabbing the head of the guy close to him and smash it on the ground then the look at the rest of whit a look of extreme rage. the strange thing was the color of her hair had changed to yellow " holy shit " ===== My name was jack, I was a member of a secret organization and with years of hard work and self-sacrifice, I manage to get in one of the top squad. Our squad had 12 people, the captain, one tech guy and the rest was the ground group. we were tasked with the ?ssassination of a family and to receive something. but seriously sending all of these people just to kill a family of four. Anyway now we were waiting for the signal to take action. A guy was supposed to fire a rocket at the room which will be the signal for the start of the mission. "Everyone in position," the captain asked. "affirmative " "start the plan" Arriving on the floor where the objective was we started walking in the hallway toward there door. when the door slowly opens immediately everyone stop and pointed their gun toward the door. A kid calmly walks out of the room with a mask and a sword in each hand he was only wearing a pair of pants and... he had a muscular opposite to his age. Another bizarre thing was that the kid mask was grey and had no features. He suddenly introduces himself and told us that he was going to... kill use for revenge ''hahaha'' I seriously was about to laugh out loud but I manage to hold myself back. The captain who took everything seriously didn''t even hesitate and fire at him but something. but something shocking append using his sword he cut the bullet in half. "you guys better take me seriously" All of us immediately open fire at him until we were out of bullet but the kid was still standing with no injured. "My turn" the kid leisurely announce and was about to run toward use when suddenly the wall explodes and another kid grew out of it grabbing the close person to her and smash is head in the ground. she was probably older than the order kid since she was older. she was strange she had yellow hair and a savage look right now even an ?du?t-like myself was afraid of her. why? because she had destroyed a wall with her b?r? fist and crush a grown man skull with her b?r? hand. Taking a deep breath ''were fu?k?d''. She leaps toward another teammate and ripped him in half while we were reloading. Seeing this we fire at her while retreating I wasn''t dumb I knew of the existence of superhuman and seeing her shrugging the bullet like it was nothing and her brute strength I knew we weren''t going to win so in stop using my gun and use all my strength to run away. while I run toward the stair I could hear the cry of pain or help of my teammate. Chapter 5 - The escape after getting out of the alleyway he made a left turn toward the stair. The apartment he was in had 50 floors and he was on the 43rd floor. He was running down the stair at full speed, even skipping a few stairs eventually falling down the stair at the 40th floor and breaking his ankle. He knew that he couldn''t continue with his broken ankle, he then suddenly remember the elevator. Moving out of the stairway to the alleyway there was suddenly a loud explosion sound, the ceiling broke and he saw a blue figure past through landing heavily on the floor a few steps in front of him. "The heck was that " he was stunned for a few moments before regaining his sense. In front of him the figure slowly got up with lightning surrounding him, completely blue and he took out the war hammer that was on his back looking up at the hole he came from. looking up like he was waiting for something. he then realizes that it was the kid with the blank mask. then a yellow shadow flew out of the hole but immediately got hit by the war hammer sending it flying back. The blue figure squat, the lightning around condensing then he despaired. Standing there dazed when he heard loud sound on top of him he could feel the building shaking. Looking up, he saw a piece of the ceiling falling down, on top of him. kill him on the spot. ======= When Marcus saw that Gine had a few a green spark around her. he knew that it was a sign of her berserk mode. He immediately knew things were bad so he starts to prepare himself. He then melted the sword and throw it away. Creating adamantium and modifying it as a futuristic war hammer. just when he had finished creating the war hammer Gine had finished her killing spree. "Gine" Marcus call out causing Berserk Gine to look toward him "are you alright, can you control yourself" Marcus ask but she did respond but keep looking at him. Placing the hammer in his back he slowly walks toward Gine while trying to coax her. but it didn''t go well when he arrived in front of her. she suddenly grabs him slamming him down and proceed to compress some energy in her mouth, firing a powerful ki blast at Marcus. it was so strong, that he went through the floor of the building. "so we have to fight" in that brief moment when he got slam down Marcus realize that they were really about to fight. Using his lightning power generating lightning around protecting him from the energy blast that fallow but it didn''t stop him from going through the floor. getting up from the floor and took out his hammer. Concentrating a part of the lightning onto the hammer. The hammer light up with blue light and arc of lightning randomly flashing around it while making a humming sound "3,2,1" at one Marcus swung his hammer up. that exact moment, Gine hat appeared out to the hole and immediately got hit by Marcus hammer sending her flying back into the hole. "I have to end this fight quickly, I better go all out" using his power at full strength Marcus turn completely into lightning figure even getting taller and getting more muscle. Move at his full speed which now was the speed of light. he disappeared from the spot he was standing from. at this moment Gine at went four-floor up and was about to stabilize her self went suddenly she was hit by a lightning hammer to her left side sending her flying in the opposed direction. keeping up with Gine using his speed Marcus appeared behind her and swung his hammer at her but was greeted by a sudden blast of energy and before he could do anything he was attacked by an enraged Gine which now had green hair. after a few rounds, he discovers that she was getting strong and strong ". Marcus knew that this fight could not keep going on. so he teleport his hammer away, moisturizing all of his strength has he runs toward Gine while she did the same arriving face to face to each other trowing there most powerful punch. both punches hit each other face creating a shockwave around them sending them flying back in the direction they came from "aah" Gine slowly got up she could feel her body aching. Looking around she could see that everything was destroyed then she remembers her self becoming berserk and attacking anyone she could see. she runs toward him with a look filled with regret "are you alright" she says will hugging him "I am sorry, I am sorry" "it alright it''s not your fault," Marcus says while hugging her back. but he didn''t have time to console her when he suddenly receives a message from his A.I. that a certain hero is on his way. ===== After Gine regain her sense Gine was sad seeing that she had destroyed the building she had been living in for all her life and most importantly she almost killed her secret lover. "Don''t worry about look at me, I down a have scratch. listen I know that you''re sad but we have to live quickly ..." "y-yes Gine got up" Luckily before everything started Gine had put all of their stuff in a bag. after tracking there bag and digging it out of the rubble we immediately live the half-destroyed building by flying away. After a few minutes of flying, we arrived at a hotel. After some hacking and some lies they manage to get a room. the room wasn''t overly decorated. it had two bed and one bathroom. Marcus told Gine to go take a shower while he checks the bag. he discovers that a few of is stuff was destroyed like the teleportation device that helps him access his pocket space and ??ptop. a few moments later Gine came out of the shower so he went and take out. getting out the bathroom he saw that Gine was already on one of the bed. getting on the other bed he was prepared to go to sleep went he could feel something moving on is bed opening his eyes he could see Gine on is bed moving toward him Chapter 6 - New Home just after They left a certain speedster arrived. He was quick enough to save the people that were about to be hit by debris. "quick work as always Flash," Cyborg says while landing next to Flash looking in front of him at the destroyed building. "can you tell me what had happened here," flash says. "Yeah, Cyborg," say as he pulls a hologram, searching for information about what had happened. Eventually showing a video from someone phone. In the video, the person runs out of the building after the fire alarm. He then proceeded to film the street where there were some people, then the building. After a few minutes, there was a loud sound coming from the building fallow by yellow light. Then the thunder cloud started to ?ssemble in the sky. Then a huge fight started taking place since in the building every second there was either the sound of lightning rumbling, flashes of yellow light that soon changed to Green and explosion. Then after a huge explosion and everything stop and the building started shaking then come down creating a huge smoke cloud "it''s definitely metahuman fighting in there, we have to report this to the league they might have survived," Cyborg says "do that while an investigate the surrounding" Flash say has he run away. Cyborg pulls out a new hologram screen showing Martian Manhunter. " I just send you a video there might be new metahuman if they survive the fight we need to track them down. " "I will relate this information to the rest of the league." ======= Marcus slowly woke up next to Gine. She was still sleeping while holding him. Turning around he gently brushes her hair. Getting out of the bed, he reaches into his bag and took out his ??ptop, opening it up and taking out the flash drive his dad had given to him he plug it in. There was only a video in it so he plays it. In the video, it was his dad talking to the camera. his dad talk about them, knowing that he and Gine were not normal kids but Marcus already know that their parents had suspected them were going to be like that since they were born with a bizarre hair color and eyes while Gine eat a lot Marcus even had to create a special nutrition bar for her and why all of this happen. Anyway, the important part was that the video help discovers why his parents got killed. Marcus knew if Gine says this video she will want revenge and personally, he didn''t care that is until his father informed them that at Gine birth they had taken some of her D.N.A. and that is why they hunted his them, they achieved a certain breakthrough with the help of our D.N.A. Marcus knew that he immediately had to stop them. "Lucy I want you to create new identities for me and Gine. Also, delete every information about me, Gine and my parents. Make them despair from the internet. When Marcus was creating the chip that gave him his technopath power ( and more) I had created it with an A.I. to help him manage it and he had named her Lucy. Jarvis, I also went to create d a few things for me Lucy will send you the blueprint. Soon Gine woke up looking to next to her he couldn''t see Marcus anymore scared she got up and started searching the apartment only to find him in the kitchen "You finally woke up were about to eat I had commended some food it just arrives... I am sorry" Marcus told Gine "if I had..." Like that they eat in sadness. Later Marcus let Gine watch the video and explain to her what it means and why their parents were hunted down. She immediately wanted revenge but Marcus stop her. I know you want revenge. I also do to but there is a condition. You have to master your transformation, normally it should take you a long time. the time I don''t want to give then so I just ask Jarvis to create a time chamber. you have one-month real-time which will be Three years during this time you will train I will also train with you but I also have to reorganize our self. "If I manage to control my power can kill all of them" With a dangerous light in her eyes. "... yeah" "went are we going to start" "in a few days but first we have to move to Gotham" "why" "if I need to create a foothold in a city I don''t want it to be in a city where there is a guy that can move at the speed of light. Anyways I already bought the ticket were living tonight" ==Night, Gotham City== Later in the night sky of Gotham City, a figure was flying it was Marcus. After flying for about ten more minutes he arrived at his destination. It was an abandoned warehouse luckily he had bought it a few months ago. Who did he make the money for all of this? Doing some hacking for people good or bad, stealing and doing some investment but mostly illegally. Landing behind the warehouse he breaks the lock and went in. he then proceeds to walk to a corner of the warehouse. There there was a group of stack boxes. Moving them away there was a wall. Using some of his strength he punches the wall, breaking reveling a reinforced door. Moving in front of it he melts it. Behind it, there was a stair and was pitch-black. Creating a ball of lightning a throw in the air providing light. Arriving at the end of the stair with the help of the light he could see a wide space. Marcus had bought this warehouse special for the basement. he levitated and place the disk on the selling. he then active it, teleporting in the pocket space. checking on Jarvis progress with the construction of the time chamber, he then gives some instruction and teleported out of the pocket space. appearing in the basement he looks around in the darkness "I have a lot to do... First defense" [Lucy did you take care of it][yes all the all of you, miss Gine and your parents have disappear][good job, I also want you to eliminate any information about the basement of this building also start a company under the name of... Gray industry] he went up the stair arriving at the door and started remaking it. He also upgrades it by reforming with stronger metal and new function. "Jarvis send me two construction robot" "Yes sir" He then went to the basement Jarvis I am going to need a robot to ?ssist me I also need the thing it the list I just send you. " I guess I will have to work all night." Chapter 7 - Playing God Waking up Gine look around and didn''t see Marcus but she didn''t get agitated. Last night Marcus had already told her that he was going somewhere. Taking a shower and brushing her teeth she went into the kitchen where she saw Lucy making food. Truth be told she was a little curious about her. Marcus has described her as a more advanced A.I then even Jarvis and she was based on herself. She wasn''t mad about it, he told her that logically she could think by itself which means that she is a life so who don''t want to make a new friend. So after sitting down Gine immediately started a conversation with Lucy. At first, everything was alright although, she was responding to the question like a robot but went the subject change to Marcus she was a little hesitant and Gine being curious asked the ultimate question "soo, if you are base on me, do you also love him" "...yes and I feel shy about it" "so you don''t know if he loves back" "No, never ask him" Gine suddenly had an idea "...but you are in his mind, can you read it, right?" "he never says not to do it... I know deep down that you want to know" "placing the food on the table Lucy pull a chair and sit down look straight at Gine "I am going to try" Lucy then proceed to close her eyes. At this moment Marcus was in the pocket dimension working when he suddenly felt something entering his mind but he wasn''t worried about since he had prepared himself for those type of situation. So he continues to work. =with Lucy= Her mind appeared in a room with one door she immediately knew that she was trapped. she tries to attack the wall but nothing happens. Giving up she proceeded to walk to the door opening it. A light immediately ?ssault her Recover her vision, she finds her self standing in the middle of a room. "Give me a few seconds that I finish this game." " And done. How can I help although I think it is to soon to be attacked by a mental attack" say that person while turning around. "oh it''s you ...Lucy you can actually enter my mental space, interesting. anyway, can I help you." the figure say then turn around. starting another game you can sit in the couch if you want. walking and sit next to him "who are you" "I am me, just with black hair and normal eyes color instead of grey and older. but that some fu?k up eyes and hair color they give me. anyway like I said, what are doing here?" immediately a sense of shame washed over Lucy so she didn''t say anything. "Guest I have to search your mind" "wait, What? no" "and done... that why you are here. haha I guess you want answers" "...yes" snapping his fighter Lucy immediately had new knowledge inside her head Gine was already done eating and was waiting for Lucy when she suddenly opens her eyes. "I am done" "So did you learn anything" "...no, Miss Gine you should get dress. Marcus had asked me to bring you somewhere" ======= Later A car drove in the dock and stop in the back of a seemingly abandoned warehouse. "where are we?" Gine asks Lucy. " new secret base." " more in between." Walking in front of the door Lucy places her hand one it. It immediately split open. Walking in, they could see that the inside was totally different from the outside since the inside look brand new while the outside look old. They could also see some robot still working. They continue to the back. were Lucy place her hand on a wall. It immediately splits open. After going down the stair they enter a completely futuristic room. They walk in the middle of the room were Jarvis teleported them. they vanish from the room and appeared in the pocket space...in mid-air. They both immediately started falling. Gine didn''t even have the time to react she could see the floor approach. closing her and putting her hand in front of her. preparing for the impact, an impact that never occurred. Opening her eyes she could see that she was floating in mid-air. Looking in front of her she could see Marcus laughing. "haha, next time should prepare yourself for any situation. like her" Marcus said while pointing at Lucy that was using the propulsor from her Hand and feet. "that not fair she is a robot" After walking for a few moments the arrived in front of a door Marcus opens the door and enters but immediately after he vanishes. Gine wasn''t surprised it was not her first time seeing teleportation. So without any hesitation, she enters fallow by Lucy. The next time she opens her eyes she was presented with a draw-dropping scene. She was standing on the moon looking down on earth. "were in space" "hahaha yeah. but it''s not what you think. this his not actually earth" Marcus said while pointing at the Plane "this is an accident" "what do you mean?" "If you compare them you will realize that the continents are different, that it is more populated and less advance then earth and most importantly it bigger, by a lot. "so you created a planet." "... it was an accident me, Lucy and Jarvis went a little crazy over an argument and this is the result ." "yeah" "can we go visit," Gine say excitedly "there his a problem we also went crazy playing god, all in all, there his a bunch of genetically modified monster populating this planet." "soo" "and went I teleported on the plane my face greeted the ground first. I couldn''t even react from the powerful Gravity pull and I couldn''t even get up. I had to teleport back." "amazing." "so went do you want to start training." "as soon as possible." "So let me explain the plant again. You will spend more than 3 years training in here which will be one month outside. The objective is for you to master your Saiyan transformation and for us to become more powerful. I will spend the first year with you here. I know so I have to spend the other 2 years by myself "...sorry, you have to become stronger by yourself. so you ready" "yes, Jarvis do it." Gine yield out, immediately she vanishes. "She really wants to become powerful, do you also fill the need to became more powerful too," Marcus says to Lucy. "Yes, in some way" "Do you know how to get powerful" "...yes" "If you need any help ask Jarvis" Then Marcus Vanish. Chapter 8 - The Beast (part 1) Appearing on the planet, Marcus felt something pulling him down. He immediately found himself laying flat on the ground. Looking next to him he could see Gine struggling to get up and amazingly she was doing it. After half an hour, she finally manages to stand up, although she was trembling. ''Guest I have to give it a try too.'' gathering his strength, Marcus tried to get up but it was too hard, even for him. So using his power he manages to get up. Standing up she looks at Gine who was still struggling to stay standing. "We will spend the first-week getting use to the gravity." "OK. so where do we stay" "the material should arrive soon" "A few moments later space ship entered the planet atmosphere and fly directly toward Marcus and Gine location. It landed and some robot started unpacking the jet. Those robot or the material weren''t normal. They are made from vibranium so there were only five robots. After creating a space, 4 of the robot bring out a machine and place it in the middle of the new camp. Marcus walks to it and activated it. Immediately a blue beam of light shot to the sky and create a dome around the camp. "What is that?" "As I said before, there is some freaky animal on this planet and if we want to sleep properly we need protection and that dome is going to protect us. By the way, you better start exercise to get used to the new gravity. Gine had finally finished the exercise and she could b?r?ly keep standing. Looking toward the camp, she could see that the camp was partially completed. Walking in she could still see Marcus and the robot still working. "Are you done with the camp" "not really. that is only 1/3 of the camp" "so is the bathroom part of 1/3 completed? Because I need to take a bath" "luckily for you yes." walking to one of the tables Marcus pick up a syringe and walk next to Gine. "was is that" "Nanobots, they are very useful for a lot of stuff" Marcus then insert into Gine neck." also it will hurt" Immediately after they enter her bloodstream Gine felt a great amount of pain ?ssault her forcing her into her knee. =A a few moments later= "Are you alright" "ask yourself for a map of this place," Marcus told Gine. Doing as Marcus say a map suddenly appeared in the corner of her eyes. "You can ask them for whatever you need " "Ok" Think for a path to the bathroom immediately a route form on the map. "thanks" Following the path, she soon reaches the Bathroom and took a bath. After finishing, she changes clothes when she suddenly received a message from Marcus, telling her to go to the kitchen. Fallowing the new pathway she walks toward the Kitchen. While doing so she passed by a window, where she saw something that surprised her. On the edge of the dome, she could see some type of rhinoceros. It was the size of an elephant charging at the dome. She immediately runs into the kitchen where she could see Marcus sitting on a table with food in front of him waiting for her. Arriving in front of him Gine pointed toward the direction where she saw the rhino telling Marcus about it in which Marcus just responded. "oh, that, don''t bother about it. It''s just a child a fully m?tur? one is two to three times that size. also, the force field around us was created to be strong enough to receive a nuclear blast. "OK" choosing to believe in Marcus Gine relax and sit down. while eating the start talking about stuff. soon it was night and they were done eating. so Gine when to there room in when to sleep soon after taking a bath Marcus joined her and the both when to sleep. =A week later= 30 minutes later Gine enters the room were Marcus was spread into the ground. Marcus was so exhausted he couldn''t even get up. "need help" "sure" Picking Marcus up and throwing him over her shoulder, she walks to the med bay, where she put him into a healing chamber. waiting for a few minutes Marcus walkout. After a few minutes into the healing chamber, Marcus fell brand new he was not fatigued anymore. after stepping out Marcus did light stretching "So can we go outside" "you are that excited. We should go outside soon, let me get prepare first." =a few minutes later= standing on the edge of the dome Marcus look at Gine "you ready" They both walk through the dome. In front of them was a beautiful forest, they both ran at full speed into the forest. "So who are we going to fight" You remember the Rhinoceros you saw on our first day here. We are going to fight it.soon they arrived next to a stream. Where they could see it drinking water. "can I fight him first" "Ok," Marcus said as he jumps on a tress branch. stepping out of her hiding place Gine run toward the rhino. Immediately when Gine got out of the hiding place she was detected by the beasts but Gine still runs toward it the beasts seeing this without any hesitation also charge at Gine. It was when it happens the beast demonstrated a speed irregular for his size. So in a few seconds, he was already in front of Gine. Because of the much stronger gravity, Gine could demonstrate her full strength. Not having the speed to evade she only prepare herself for the impact. Marcus who was crouching on the branch of the tree could see Gine running toward the Rhino and when the rhino saw her and charged at her. He was amazed by the rhinos sudden speed. In a few seconds, it was in front of Gine. With a powerful blast of energy, she pushes everything away while getting up. She was looking angrily at the rhino. ''Thank God I had prepared myself'' Marcus thought as he took out a bag of popcorn from his spatial dimension and started eating it while looking at fight. Chapter 9 - The Beast (part 2) Full of rage Gine run at full speed toward the rhino and she was much faster than before whit the help of the ki fuse with her self. The rhino not scared of anything also charge at her. But this time instead of blocking, she also attacked. But it was the same result as before, she was send flying back. Without hesitation, she stood back up and attack the rhino again. That process repeated again and again and every time she changes strategy getting better and better, eventually injuring him. But she had her limit eventually she was enabled to stud up while the Rhino injury but they were mostly superficial. Standing a few feet from each other the rhino was looking angrily at Gine. It was probably the first time he was injured. Gine could b?r?ly keep standing she knew that she had reached her physical limit because of this damn gravity. In front her she could see the rhino looking madly at her. '' guess I have to use my trump card.'' Give stoop up and took a position. she started gathering energy in her hand. She put both of her hand together and pull then back locking them in place trying to put more energy in the ball of ki that started forming in the middle of her hand, pumping more and more energy in it. "you going to use it" Gine suddenly hear the voice of Marcus in her head. "yes, that the only thing I can do" "Haha" "why are laughing?" "Nothing" Why a war cry the rhino brought the attention back to himself And started charging at her. Without any hesitation, she fires it. Marcus had tough her this technique. He also told her that it was called Kamehameha. So yelling out the name as she fires it, she pours all of her energy in it and fires it at the rhino. "Finally, I defeated him," Gine says while dropping on the ground. Gine started taking deep gulps of breath. This attack had used the last of her energy. Right now she passed her limit and could stay flat on the ground. "Well done," Marcus said as he jumps out of the tree and walks toward Gine "Although you wasted a lot of attacks and energy to kill him you still made it" suddenly Marcus then look at the direction where the rhino was. There was still smoke rising. it was then he found something strange. So he switches vision and he saw it "Fuck" "what is wro... holy shit" The smoke suddenly clear over reviling the rhino and now he was bigger and...on fire. All of his body was on fire. He was not burning he was the one producing the fire and he was enraged. With every breath, he was snorting out fires. When they made eyes contact, Marcus knew that he was not about to let them live alive. Without hesitation, Marcus picks up Gine and run at full speed toward the base. As he runs the rhino was fallowing them destroying and burning anything on is way and was catching up with them. "fuck, run faster" "you weight too much" "Who are you calling fat" "Seriously, I am just seeing that because of the gravity your weight is mult..." Marcus couldn''t finish his sentence when he had to dodge the rhino sudden burst of speed. After a few more minutes of running, they could already see the camp and so could the rhino. Apparently, he wasn''t dumb having remembered not being able to pass the dome so the rhino ran at an even greater speed and he was catching up with them. Marcus saying this choose to use his trump card. Using his power even though it was more difficult to control it because of the gravity, it was still enough for it completely transforming into lightning, boosting his strength and speed. Marcus grabs Gine and ran at full speed in which he b?r?ly manages to save themselves because as soon as he passes through the barrier there was a loud sound behind them even creating a shout have sent them flying. Gine got up and look at the place of the impact she could see the rhino laying against the ground Marcus you alright she say as she looked at Marcus who was still laying down skating next to him he slaps him a few time and he still didn''t wake up ''fuck'' "hmm, Jarvis" "yes" "Please can you help out with the beast" "yes" Suddenly a part of the space ship open and the five robots run out and they when directly for the rhino. While the rhino was stunned from the impact against the dome, they surrounded him, deployed their weapon mounted shoulder missile, wrist mitraillette, and lasers and open fire at it. In the distance, Gine could see explosion after explosion "wow " Then Gine suddenly remember about Marcus she picks him up runs to the med bay and throws him in a healing chamber. "yes" "Thank god," Marcus said as he closes his eyes, watching videos to learn what had happened. "wow, Jarvis quickly gather the rhino body, burn the blood that is left outside and eliminate the smell. I don''t want his parent to come at us." "Also, store the body I need to do some research on it. Those beast are more fu?k up then I thought" "So you didn''t know that they have powers" "No" "So are we going out tomorrow" " We need more training. Truthfully that beast could have killed you" "Ok, also what happens? why did you past out?" "So what are doing next" "I am going to study the rhino and I just send you an idea for new techniques to learn and training exercise." Chapter 10 - The beast (part 3) Later that night Give had just gotten out of the healing chamber. taking a towel she wipes herself since there was water in the chamber. It wasn''t the first time she when in the healing chamber today. In the past few days after the fight, she felt frustrated with herself. She thought it was her fault, that she wasn''t strong enough to fight back and was too ???ky. Think she could win, Marcus even had to save her and in the process got injured all in all she put both of there life in danger. now she concluded that she had to become stronger. When Marcus had told her that she was different, that she could get stronger, breaking her limit and making a new one meaning that she had virtually no limit to grow, that she could get strong enough to destroy planets and even universe if she d?s?r?d. She thought it was going to be easy for her to reach such a level of power. But now she understands, she had to work for it, that she had to train. So she had been training in the past few days, training until she couldn''t stand up. Still mad at herself and being determined, with her sheer will power she forces herself toward the healing chamber, dragging herself out of the gym toward it. That was the first time the second time she was discovered by Marcus who in response ?ssign a robot to monitor her. Every time she drops down unable to move the robot will pick her up and brought her to the healing chamber. At first, Marcus tried to stop her but she was so determined that he couldn''t do anything but let her be and decided to support her. leaving the med bay and when in her bedroom to take a shower. after taking her shower. in her und?rw??r she was walking to the kitchen to get something to eat while doing so she was trying to use her new power. She discovered that with a thought she could check everything even accessing all the cameras she could see everything around the base even ?ssessing the satellite she decided to explore the satellite function playing with it trying to track down herself with it. Soon she had an overview of the base looking on the edge of her vision she could see there few functions and a red bu??on. obviously, she tries pressing but she received a message that she didn''t have the authorization. after pressing a few times and receiving the same answer she gave up. so she pressed the next bu??on which in turn the screen red. looking at it the place where the base was in had completely turned bright red. she suddenly discovers something bizarre kilometers away from the base he could two very bright red spots moving directly toward the base quickly switching view to the normal one and she saw them. "No, no, no, Jarvis pass in red mod" While she was training Marcus was on another side of the camp, in the ??p. He was working on the rhino death corpse. Marcus was very impressed. Some parts of the body were still on fire, for example, is heart was still beating even after he dies also it''s like it was crafted from lava. With every beat, it will produce a red glow. When Marcus was about to do more research on it when suddenly the alarm when off, the base started glowing red. Marcus faces change from happiness from doing research to gloomy like someone had killed his fevered pet So without hesitation he runs out of the lab.and he reserved a message from Gine, telling him what happens. "So help me understand something. We fought with the Rhino, he was young and apparently his three to five-time weaker than an ?du?t." "With the research, now when they awaken which is when they release their power they might be 10 times strong" "...Ok, ten-time strong. when we found it, we couldn''t do anything and had to run away, while the robots b?r?ly manage to kill it. SO TELL ME HOW ARE GOING TO KILL TWO FULLY GROWN ON." looking in the distance Marcus could see that two full-grown rhino. They were walking toward them and they were already on fire, burning anything 15 to 20 meters away from them. "Sign, they still manage to know that we kill their kid. Jarvis activate protocol alpha" "Yes, sir" "What is that" "something amazing" one of the robots brought a robot a box in front of them do you want to open in what is inter less say that it will help you" "that''s it" "hahaha don''t worry about it, you will definitely need it," Marcus says as he picks one of the glasses and puts it on. still not understanding what''s happening Gine put the glasses on. "so what is supposed to happen" "Jarvis, you can start" "yes sir" immediately there was a countdown "10, 9..." "look in front of you soon something extraordinary is going to happen," he says to Gine I was at that exact moment it happens, in a brief moment, the sky and even the cloud turn red completely. then the sky was split open by a giant red beam of light. That hit directly on top of the rhinos. That giant beam of light lasted only a few seconds. even with the glasses, she had to cover her eyes with her hand to block some of the light. after the light clear away she took off her glasses and look toward the blast zone and it was full of smoke. it slowly started clearing up and what she saw shocked her in the place of impact there was nothing no threes nothing and no rhinos. on the opposed, there was a giant hole in the ground "wow" "Amazing right, this a prototype satellite. I created it intending to take anything down, anywhere in the world. You can see it a giant gun in the sky. that shit costs a lot (of material and time) and on the plus side, it can also teleport." "so you see why a wasn''t worry. Do you to see the blast zone" "no, I am good" "Ok I am going to see it i want to see the result myself, see you later. Jarvis send a quinjet" "yes sir" A part of the spaceship separated and flew in front of them. Marcus jump in it accompanies by two robots. The jet flew toward the zone arriving there the jet keep floating in mid-air. Opening the back of the jet Marcus peer down, looking at the hole. The hole was dozens of meters deep. "damn somebody part that survives the blast, that is some great defense. anyway is time to work, pack every body part left" "yes, sir'' Immediately Marcus and the robot went to work. Taking every part they could find they flew it back to the Jet. =A while ago= as Gine saw the jet flying away she started thinking again. Right now Marcus was stronger them her while only using his power of lightning as he had proved to her before, during their lass fight and their many training practices, where most of the time he came on top. That wasn''t the only thing, Marcus had greater control over his powers than her and even he even control ki better than her and she was the one that had taught him. Also if his power or fight skill or technique wasn''t enough he had his technology which has just displayed can turn the sky red, split it open and create a giant hole in the ground. Now she understood for her to become a woman that Marcus would love, admired and trusted. Trusted even with his life that she must be able to protect him that she had to be strong, stronger them everything, stronger then Marcus and everything he could create. For her to rely only on the brute force would be simple-minded, but she can be like him. master her power and even create new techniques. but all of that requires knowledge. that idea reminded her of something. When she was younger after a training session she found Marcus working at the lad, where she found him staring a giant glass tube with a black box floating in the middle of it. she knew what it was. It had already been months since he has been working on it and almost every day he will check on it fixing some bugs or upgrade it''s function and sometimes introduce it with new stuff. Today was apparently one of those days. When she asked what it was he explained to her that this new programs will help him analyze someone movement to know its next step and that is top it can even predict something a few seconds in the future and if he gets enough information about someone he can even predict that person''s future decision. Basically with this new upgrade if Marcus gets enough knowledge about someone it impossible to win a fight against him. but for this to work it requires knowledge. Sometimes she saw Marcus go into great lengths to acquire them. She even remembers him saying knowledge is power. So having made her decision, she turned around walking toward the library, she decided, she will not be a mindless brute, that she will have both muscle and brain. Chapter 11 - 1 Year Later 1 year later "boom" A loud collision sound resounded through the forest, as two figures flew in the opposed direction from each other, from the place of impact. But as soon they regain their footing, the flew back at each other at an even greater speed. After a few more blows they separated from each other, standing a few feet away from each other. "You really made some progress over the year" Marus say as he held his jaw "that was a great punch by the way." "I already know that but we both know we are not serious. Also, you hit pretty hard too" she says as she holds he rib cage. "sign... I guess it''s time to get serious" unleashing his full power Marcus turns into a lightning figure, lightning crackling around him and was floating in mid-air "I am always impressed with your transformation, being all blue and being lightning in self" as soon she finish her sentence Gine started concentrating, putting her full power at use breaking her limit activating the kaio-ken technique, turning red, looking more fearsome and energy surrounding her. "so, how do I look" "haha I still like your white hair more than being all red but it still all change of style" "Like last time, no cheating which means no turning intangible." "Sir, if I didn''t control this part of my power our fight would never be fare." You know this fight will be your lass for me for two years so NO HOLDING BACK" "no holding back" Marcus confirmed and in the sky, grey clouds started gathering, turning darker and darker by the second with lightning flashing every moment with crackling sounds. Nobbing Marcus released his power, activating his ki. "so we''re really getting serious" Gine says as she smirks. Getting more excited, she releases more energy, activating kaio-ken * 10, producing more air current around her. After taking her fighting position, she looks at Marcus and nodded and they immediately ran at each other. Arriving face to face to each other. Marcus landed the first punch and dominated the next few rounds with his speed, evading Gine hits and landing ever of his hit on her face. Being frustrated by the punches, she released even more energy activating * 15 punching Marcus back. Not wanting to let him get his footing, she ran in front of him which with her speed is like teleportation, in this short distance run. First, she punched him in the face for payback and fallow with a punch in his guts but before she could continue, she was hit directly by a lightning strike from above. as a side effect, it froze her for milliseconds and it was enough time in a fight. Marcus kicks her sending her flying back hitting a few trees along the way, creating a small dust cloud. But this dust cloud didn''t last long. It was immediately scattered by a ki beam coming directly for Marcus. Marcus reacted by creating a barrier in front of himself but it immediately shows cracks, so he fused his ki in the shield, which immediately shows results as the shield fix itself and successfully blocks the attack. Just as the attack stops, Marcus duck escaping Gine kick. So they started another round of close carter fighting but this time it was different. This time Gine was the one dominating this fight the first time Marcus was winning because of his speed but this time she was dominating with her fighting technique. As she had promised herself one year ago the will no rely only on brute strength. One part of the knowledge she acquired was her fighting techniques. During this year she had study every fighting technique she could find. Although she wasn''t proficient in all of them, she was still better than Marcus. Although he was stopping most of her attack, he still received some, but he nerve laded one back. "I know you are now using your full potential yet." Getting at a safe distance, he teleported behind Gine throwing a punch toward her. Gine also knew about Marcus''s ability to teleport. Turning around she blocked his punch and create a ki ball on her left hand and buried it in Marcus stomach. Even made Marcus puke blood and the ball proceeded to explode blasting him in the air. But he did come crashing down. He uses is power and stays floating mid-air. looking down at Gine he wipes out the blood that was on his lips " well played. But now " all the thunder cloud that was in the cloud turn even dark and started raging with lightning appearing more and more stronger and louder lightning crackle. " it''s my turn" just has he finish his sentence it literally rains lightning and every lightning strick were bright blue, dense and powerful. In response, Gine created a dome around herself protecting herself from the rain but she knew she was not going to last long. after every lightning strick, she discovers that the next strick that fallow was getting more powerful. so she didn''t have time to spare she knew that it was one of Marcus most powerful techniques. pushing herself at full potential even creating muscle over her muscle, she activated kaio-ken * 20 and then she proceeded to fly up, lightning still falling down but she was still protecting herself. using pure strength she boldly full toward Marcus Seeing this Marcus decided to take measures. The lightning rain was an AoE attack. So he decided to use another of his attacks. The lightning rain stopped and all of the energy converse in the middle all fire a Gine how was flying straight up. This lightning strick was different it was a few meters of radius falling straight at Gine. They both collided in the middle and surprisingly Gine was still going up pushing against the flow. This time Gine was going all out she wanted to win this fight to prove herself since she would not be seeing him for 2 years so using her full strength she pushed against the flow which was Marcus strongest technique he ever shows her. After a few more seconds of struggle, she felt a release, her breaking another limit filling that she had got more powerful. Managing to pierce the lightning and cloud to her delight, she had beaten his strongest technic. But his delight was short live just when she got out she felt a strong impact while also filling a million needle stabbing her immediately knocking her out and sending her flying back down. Just before she hit the ground a blue figure flashed past her grabbing her and hugging her and took the impact for her. "Damn, that hurt," Marcus said as he got up with the pass out Gine on his arm "Jarvis quickly send a quinjet." while waiting for the quinjet he places Gine down and looks at his right shoulder which now was dislocated. "This is going to hurt, wait, is it suppose to be. Lucy lower pain level" "thanks" without hesitation Marcus relocated his shoulder without a grunt. I almost lost if it wasn''t for this last move Marcus say as he remember the fight. As soon as she brakes through his attack and pierce the cloud. He was shocked, Gine was blond and he knew what it means so he had used his strongest technique, which was him transforming into a giant lightning figure and he proceeded to put both hands together and smash it on top of Gine. That attack was his most powerful even though it was incomplete. It was his most powerful technique because he uses both Ki and electricity. Chapter 12 - 1 Year Later (Part 2) After waiting for a while a Quinjet arrived on top of them Marcus, peeking Gine up he flew to the jet. Getting in he immediately put Gine in the Quinjet emergency healing chamber. After checking her state for a wield, he took the drive sit and flew the jet. Marcus wasn''t flying the jet at full speed, he wanted to take the view of the scenery. since they were far from the base it would take him around 15 minutes at this speed to arrive. You may ask yourself, why he would watch the scenery? This planet was an exotic one it was very beautiful and far in the distance he could see the sun setting which made the view even more beautiful. Watching the forest under him he could see trees of every color side and shape. With his advance eyes sat, he could see every little thing. he could animal running through the forest even the small on. Actually, most of them were fighting, even some of the plants were event carnivore and there were also birds flying and some try to attack the jet, they were immediately shot down. Sure the planet was dangerous but it was also beautiful. So Marcus was proud of the planet, his planet, his creation. "With the sun setting, we surely have a great view," Gine says as he came in and set next to Marcus. "How do you fill" "As soon as we get to the base I while to pay the med bay a visit since every part of my body hurt. Didn''t you really had to hit that hard" "Sorry, but I had to and most of the pain your filling is a side effect of using the Kaio-Ken" "it alright since I was the one that asks you to get serious. but what do you mean you had to" Putting the plane on autopilot Marcus turn to Gine "be proud, you force me to use my ultimate technique and most importantly this Marcus says as activated a hologram on the window" A video plays showing the fight in Marcus point of view. more precisely it shows the last fight scene. In which it show the beautiful scene of Gine braking to the cloud while being blonde "i.i finally did it" "Congratulation" "yes, it is incomplete. I could only create the top half. Creating the top half was already too costing in energy for me" "You know if you didn''t let down your guard and had more experience with you super Saiyan transformation you would have won." [Lucy send it to Gine] "yes, sir" Gine immediately received a file "What is that" "Sadly you know we will have to separate for me it might be a few weeks but for you it will be around 2 years. we have been living together for full-year i know what you want you. You want to get stronger and learn new techniques. So the file i just send you have a compilation of every ki technique I learn, know and even created some technique especially for you. Also Me Jarvis and Lucy crate this fighting technique and made it better over the years and what i just send you was the result." "but it will take you years to master it. We predicted that it will take you more than 5 years to learn. So during my absence since you already control your super Saiyan form i challenge you to learn the full technique in those 2 years if you do, you can ask me to do anything. "it a promise" she responds excitedly "I am going to miss you Gine boldly declare." me too soon they landed on the base. getting out of the jet Marcus help Gine walk to in the base to the healing chamber. he then place her in it while telling her that since he will be living he his going to finish his project and clean the lab. after being fully heal Gine got out of the healing chamber. since it was already night she went to take a bath and went to get something to eat while eating she also check the file that she had received from Marcus. just reading the first page she could already see the hard work they had put in it. she spends more than an hour submerged in information reading stuff watching photo or video which provide visual for the information. went she woke up from her trance she saw that she hadn''t toke a bit so reheating the food and eat it. going in there room she sits on the bed she started to read the file again. Later Marcus enters the room. and went to the bathroom to take a shower. after finishing, he got out of the bathroom and lay on the bed. seeing that Marcus was on the bed she stop checking the file and lay on the bed next to him. With a thought the light turn off. In the dark Marcus suddenly fill a pair of hand wraps around him and she could hear the sound of sobbing. Seeing that Gine was crying Marcus rap his hand around and hug her back in response and until they went to sleep. What Marcus didn''t know is that he was the only one you want to sleep. Gine was still awake looking at Marcus face ''will really miss you and during those years that we will spend apart. I will prove myself worthy of your love'' She then proceeded to kiss Marcus and went to sleep. = Next Morning = " That son of a bitch. he didn''t even say b¡­" "woof" Gine sentence was interrupted by a dog bark. Looking to her left, she was shocked there a giant wolf staring at her. Looking more precisely that wolf was almost the side of a horse his fur was blue and black and more importantly he had a pair of an angel-like wings. "woof" it bark and jump toward her using her quick reflex she immediately jump out the bed. which let the wolf past by her. But while jumping her feet got caught by the bedsheet, which causes her to fall down, before she could get up the wolf was already. She was scared she was about to fire a ki blast at it but before she could she found that the wolf was only ???k?n? her face, with his tell wagging behind him. While he was ???k?n? her face she received a message from Marcus, more precisely a video. In the video, he says that he was sorry about leaving and not saying goodbye since he didn''t want to wake her up as she was sleeping peacefully. That the gift he left her (which was the wolf) will appease her anger and that it can keep her company during his absence. He also gives her a file about the wolf describing him and she was free to choose a name for him. Chapter 13 - Grey In the morning Marcus just woke up, look next to him. There she could see Gine, sleeping peacefully. After looking at her for a moment, he strokes her chick and got up from the bed. He went into the bathroom and did whatever he needed to do. Getting out he put a short on and when in the kitchen. Made himself a sandwich and even left one for Gine. He then proceeded to walk toward the lab. Arriving there he immediately when in the backroom. There was a giant fortified looking door. With a though the door split open. immediately he got tackled to the ground by a wolf-like creature, who proceeded to lick his face. After a few tries, he manages to calm down the wolf. he created some snacks and give it to him. After he gives him some instructions, he immediately ran off. watching it running away he laughing and went in and peek up a briefcase. He then proceeded to walk out of the lab, outside the camp. looking up in the sky with is advance vision he could see the moon and the sun, He had personally created them and another planet in the distance, that he also create from his power of creation. He created it last month, after having a certain mastery level over his power. but right now he was more interested in the moon, to get out of this dimension there is only one way and it is on the moon. To get there, you can either teleport or fly there. This time Marcus didn''t want to teleport there, he wanted to fly there and flying out of the gravitational pull of this planet, is easier said than done. "This will be my first try," Marcus says as he looks at the suitcase that he was holding. the suitcase suddenly started wiggling and move to is arm wrapping itself around him climbing his ar, enveloping his, turning into a grey Iron Man armor with a green cap. ''wow, I even fill lighter, I don''t even fill the gravity'' Marcus then do some light stretch. he then checks the function of the armor adjusting it to his need "So guest time to go" Marcus then proceeded to crouch and then jump flying only using his lightning power. Soon arriving at a certain height and he could go up anymore, so he activated his propulsor, at full power. With this boost, he continues to fly up without any problem getting in space. Deactivating his propulsor in the middle fly. He looks down at the planet, During this year he could see that it had changed, it had become even more beautiful. turning around he activates them, flying to the moon. There he landed on his base without hesitation, he then walks in. Gotham city in the docks A 12 years old kid walks out of an abandoned looking warehouse, he was dressed in casual clothing. He then waits for a while until a black car stops in front of him. He got in and they drove away. In the car Marcus look toward his left were Lucy was drive "so how are was everything during those past days" Lucy smile at Marcus "pretty well I had fallow your order. but sadly I had some problems along the way" "and you could break your way through" "Can you give more information" "ok... I just send you a file" "Yeah, I received it, give me a few seconds" Marcus close his eyes skimming through the file. after a few seconds, he opens his eyes and started laughing they are looking for trouble. In the horizon he could the sun setting " damn, in the dimension, I just woke up and now it''s almost night" "since I got nothing to do tonight and that I am wide awake he will take care of some stuff tonight." yes Soon they arrived in front of an apartment. She parked the car and got out of the car. then they proceed to walk in the apartment. He then when to his room and teleported a box out of his pocket space. Opening it up there was a grey mask that had no emotion. it had extinguished blue design over it. Taking it out of the box he places it on his face. This mask was special. he had created it from the strongest metal he could produce after years of testing. It was full of technology and more importantly, it was magic. When he asked for Tony Stark knowledge, it wasn''t limit from the Tony Stark of the main universe but all of them. So in an alternate universe if there''s a Tony Stark that learns magic Marcus will also receive his experience. So yeah Marcus also knows magic. The magic symbol he put in it was for security. It was to protect him from mind related power, Make it impossible for someone to see his face, upgrade all of his senses and most importantly to limit his power. "Oh, Sorry" suddenly Lucy clothes slowly transform into that dark and tight costume around her. "Great, lets go" ====== Soon they arrived at their destination. After parking the car in an alleyway They climb to the top of the building with Lucy following behind him. Arriving on top of the building he looks toward the dilapidated building that was across the street. activating his power he analyzed the building "So here is the plan, I will go in there and take care of everything and you would take care of the escaping leaders. Also on the signal explode that door" "Ok" Having confirmed the plan with Lucy. He decided to take action. Creating two desert eagles, he jumps off the roof. Using his power he slows down his fall helping him land quietly. He ran toward the door at full speed. the front door was guarded by two people, when they finally saw Marcus running toward them they didn''t even have time to react, they each received a bullet in there head. Getting next to the door he gives Lucy the signal. In a few seconds Lucy fire a blast that blows up the door creating a smokescreen. Moving in the room he activated his thermal vision. In there he could see more than 20 people and ten of them were looking toward him with their Gun pointed at him ready to fire. So went he entire the room, he fires at them he ran toward one of the pillars while firing at them and every bullet hit their target. By the time the smoke clear he was already behind one of the pillars. "damn, was that batman?" "fuck, look behind you, they death"'' "and he obviously uses guns" "Fuck, who the hell are you" "aha, I am sure as hell, he is not Batman" '' Shit, I never thought about that, but right in don''t have a name let think of o..." Marcus didn''t finish his sentence, he moves out of his hiding place and moves to the next pillar. While he was doing so, the pillar he was previously hiding behind was destroyed by a rocket. " call me... Grey" Marcus moves out of the pillar this time with two swords in each hand cutting every bullet coming his way and jump in the middle of them starting a massacre. Chapter 14 - Grey (Part 2) Lucy was standing on top of the building that was opposed to the warehouse. After watching grey kill the guard that was in front of the door. She received the signal from Marcus and proceeded to blow the door, destroying it and create a smokescreen. Immediately Marcus runs in. Watching the warehouse she could hear gun shoot coming out of it, fallow by explosion sounds. Then with her high sense, she could hear the cry of help our plea of pity help coming out of the building. Soon the fight progress to the second floor there looking through the window she saw a man running than stop and start shooting at the direction he came from, suddenly there as a shadow that flash and the window was painted red with blood. Using her thermal vision, she could see a figure moving through the building killing everyone else. "Bang" a sudden sound broke the silence of the street as a ground of people struggle out the building. They did event stop as they proceeded to get into three different cars and drive out of the area following each other, in some sort of formation. Looking at this Lucy smile and immediately started to follow them by traveling from rooftop to rooftop. ======= His name was Jake and he was goons working for Black Mask. he was proud that he had managed to climb to his position become the drive of one of Blank Mask lieutenants. He even had a plan, how he was going to get promoted in the future but right now, all of that was irrelevant, now he was scared shitless. Scared of the massacre that was going on in the warehouse but he was happy, he had managed to escape. he was part of the first group that saw that monster enter the building. He was wearing a suit and had a grey blank mask at first he was happy he thought that guy was a wannabe hero. but that thought process was cup short since after a few moments of gunfights. He took out two short and jump in the middle of them starting a massacre. Jake wasn''t dum he knew what it means when someone uses swords to cut bullets, so without hesitation, he runs away. He wants to the top floor the warn his boss. At first, the boss didn''t believe him but when a ground of his guard came running back telling him what had happened, they immediately ran away using the stair the run to the 1 floor. kicking the door open, they immediately got in the car. Getting in the drive sit of the boss car follow the car that was in front of him. Driving out of the parking they took a left drive at full speed. Jack starts to calm down seeing that they escape. But his happiness was short-lived, as the car in front of him suddenly explode. He immediately presses the brake. The car came to a sudden stop, looking in front of him he was chock "Damn pull back pull back" hearing the boss frantic order. he immediately took action looking back he could see that the car behind him had the same ideas. With adrenaline coursing through his body he saw it, a red ball of light hit the side of the car, exploding it "stop. stop, stop " he heard the boss cry out. he presses it on reflex looking toward the direction where it came from he saw a strange figure with another grey mask looking at them although it was more feminine. He was scared shitless he was about the press the gas pedal when he saw another red ball of light coming toward them forgetting everything even forgetting to press the gas pedal. "boom" the attack landed on the ground close to the car flipping it over. Jake could hear a buzzing sound as he climbs out of the car. Looking back at the car he could see the boss struggling to get out. Going toward the back seat he helps him out pulling the boss out of the car. "what that fu?k was that" The boss hell out. After a few seconds, the sound got closer and closer. Eventually, a figure made the turn, without hesitation his boss fired at her, emptying his gun but incredible the bullet that hit her just stop and fall on the floor. He was so choked that he forgot to fire his gun. He was stun, looking at her, it was the same woman he had to see on the roof. "bang" A gunshot sound resounded throughout the street, looking behind, he saw his boss with a hole in his head then "blob" he falls down. Behind his boss, he saw the same guy that had gone on a massacre inside the apartment. He immediately started shrinking back " Listen, man, I don''t know anything, I am just a driver" but seeing that Marcus was still walking toward him. he freak out. "Listen, I have some secret infor.." Jake did get to finish his sentence as he was grabbed by Lucy and press against the car, holding him up by the collar. Marcus then steps in front of him. Jake was staring back at Marcus'' mask, he could see every detail. The mask was grey and had some beautiful pattern, but it did have to expression, no mouth, no nose only two blue eyes. In those eyes, surprisingly will staring at those eyes could see some sparks. "I don''t need anything from you, I just want you to pass a message. I want you to tell black mask that..." Lucy then lets go of him which causes him to fall on the ground. She then proceeded to flip the car back, she then opens the door. Seeing this Jake was even more scared, seeing what Gine had done but he did have time to complete it, He was picking up by the collar by Marcus who proceeded to throw him in the car, in from sit. "Make sure that he receives the message or else" "... I will hunt you down, kill you and everyone you care about. so go and deliver the message if you don''t want to die." Scared shitless, he tries to start the car but it wouldn''t start, after trying a few tries, the car finally starts and he immediately drove off, while doing so he would regularly check his mirror, scar that they would attack him. "Do you really mean it." "mean what?" "That if he didn''t deliver the message that you would kill him and everyone he knows." "Hell no, who to tink him I don''t that much time to waste on him... I would have blown up their HQ as an example of the rest." "..." "Anyway, let''s go, before someone notices us" Immediately a car stops in front of them. It was the car they used to get here. They both go on and drove away. Chapter 15 - Grey (Part 3) Later that Night A car looking half-destroyed stop in front of a tall building. A man immediately struggles his way out of the car, moving toward the building. Two of the guards who were guarding the building move toward him try to stop him. On the top floor of the same building, there was a single office and on that chair, a man was sitting in it. He was dressed in a white suit and most importantly he had a black skull mask on. It was the Black mask, he was sitting reviewing the progress of his "business" for the day. His secretary was standing next to him handing him documents while giving information and updates about everything. Suddenly the door was flung open as two guards walk in while dragging someone. He was clearly beat up bloody. They trough him in front of Black mask desk. The room immediately got quiet as everyone was looking the man that was on the floor then back at Black mask. "...and this is," Black mask asks, as he looks coldly at the guard that brought Jake in. "Sorry boss, We found him outside saying that he was a subordinate of one of the lieutenants." pausing the guard looks at black mask scared of his reaction for the latter half of his sentence " he said that his boss and every one of his subordinates have been killed and that the persons who did it only leave him alive to deliver a message to you" Black mask frown, he then looks at Jake " What his the message" One of the guards grabs jake and hold him up "answers the question" "I am jake..." before he could even continue he receives a punch in the guts by one of the guards " the message, not for personal information." After coughing a mouth full of blood, Jake immediately informs them of what had happened and he didn''t forget to tell Black mask about the message. Black mask was mad, a few seconds of silence, after the story finished he started cursing, saying that the people from the warehouse were useless trash, that they deserve death. As he got up, every guard in the room unconsciously took a step back, fearing Black mask action. Walking in front of Jake, he was about to punch him but suddenly the sound of a phone ringing resounded throughout the room. Searching for the origin of the sound, everyone in the room found out that it was coming from Jake''s jacket. One of the guards search Jake pocket and took out the phone. He then looks at Black mask, looking for approval. After seeing him nobbed in response the guard answers the phone and puts it on speaker. "Finally, someone answers this fu?k?n? phone... so to who I''m talking to" "..." "Hmm, no answer. Anyway, I am ?ssuming that I am speaking to Black mask. I am going to make it simple there is a certain part of the dock (more pricey the area around his secret base/ warehouse) will be off-limit. If I see any of your men there I will kill them. This is just a warning, right now you have three passes and if you use all of them hahaha" Angrily grabbing the phone Black mask yell a few curses at it and threw it on the ground and step on it, crushing it. The room was silent " this part of the dock is off-limit... for the moment" "THIS PART OF THE DOCKIS OFF-LIMIT. This is an unknown enemy, we need more information about him, stop underestimating people. But when I get my hand on him I will break him, torture him and make him regret messing with me." ======= On the other side of the call, a beautiful and gentle hand put the phone down, it was Lucy. She had changed her voice to match the voice Marcus had used earlier that day. She had received this mission from Marcus. Since she had finished it she planned to tell Marcus. Getting in his room she discovers that he was already sleeping. Seeing this she stood there, staring at Marcus face, quietly watching him sleeping, trying to remember every part of his face. ======= In a dark place more precisely a cave which was under the Wayne manor. sometimes you could hear the squeaking sound of bats. Going deeper into the cave you could see a giant computer, in front it was batman, staring at the screen listening to a recording of the event that had happened in Black mask office. ========= A week has already passed since Marcus came back to the real world. During this week he had done a lot of things. he creates his personal territory around the warehouse and more importantly, he develops his business. He had started the company since he was five, He had trained someone and put her in charge of almost everything, only helping out in important situations. From the start, the company was slowly developing, now it had reached a medium size. sure he could have made it reach one of the top companies in one year but if he did, he will have gathered too much attention around himself. Looking outside the car, he could see the street of Metropolis. He could see how Metropolis was so different from Gotham. "Do you like here more than Gotham," Marcus asks, as he looks next to him, at Lucy. She was the one driving the car. "yes, who wouldn''t. Looks around, Metropolis is...more sophisticated, more beautiful and with less crime then Gotham." "True...how long will it take us to get there." "a few more minutes." Chapter 16 - Scarlett (Part 1) After a few minutes, their car stopped in front of a huge building. Looking at it could see that it was newly built, you could see "Grey industry" written all over it. If you look in front of the building, you could see a line of people and Journalists entering the building. Getting out of the car they both walk toward the building, after passing a few checkpoints they finally enter. They immediately move toward the elevator, getting in. Under the direction of Marcus, Lucy pressed the bu??ons in a certain order, causing some part of the elevator to open, revealing a screen. Lucy proceeded to place her hand on it. After scanning her hand the elevator started moving up. Very quickly they reach the top floor, getting out they walk in the hallway. In the end, there was a giant door, as soon as they got close to the door it slid open. Walking in the room they could see a desk with a woman sitting, with her head down doing paperwork. Behind her, seeing through the glass, you could see a beautiful view of Metropolis skyscraper. Alerted by Marcus and Lucy''s footsteps the woman lookup. Seeing them she shows a surprised. getting up she started asking questions "Who are you, people? why are you here? No, how did you get here? You need a ..." she says all of that while searching something in one of her desk drawer. She had to stop mid-question, looking at the card Marcus was waving around. "How did you get this?" She said while moving toward Marcus and Lucy with a gun pointed at them. Even though at the start she looks surprised, but now with a gun in hand, anyone could see her fierce and confident eyes behind her glasses. "Damn, you don''t even know your own Boss," Marcus says as he walks past her, ignoring her gun and sit on her desk. Hearing Marcus sentence you could see that she was shaking"W-what do you mean by b-boss" Marcus didn''t even look at her as he scanned through the file on the desk. "You forgot me already. Think about it. Who asks you to build this company, give you the start-up founding, give you invention and most importantly help you in your time of need." "You are him? wait! why are you so young?" "soo, you are going to judge me by my age" "No, that''s not what I mean." "Relax, I''m just playing with you, it not like we meet face to face before. I came here to congratulate you on getting into the big league. You did a great job along all of these years." He says as he points toward one of the chairs offering her to sit. Looking carefully at Marcus she sits down, while Lucy walks past her and stands next to Marcus. "you trust me, right" "...yeah, of course, I do. You were the only person who helps me. Getting me out of the street to this position. It''s just that, I didn''t think you were so young" "hahaha, Don''t worry about it. As you get further in life and climb the rank there will be greater dangers. But you will get new opportunities." Suddenly, Marcus moves his hand in the air as it vanishes in a black hole, pulling it back there was a phone in his hand. "How did you do that?" "Super Powers, (it was advanced technology) you live in Metropolis, soon you are going to see a certain person flying next to your window, this, " Marcus said as he passed her the phone "his for tanking you for your service." "I-i can get those power" "Yes and no. Right now, you can only get one of them but with more accomplishment, you can even get all of them. Looking at Lucy "Does she also have powers" "hmm she is a little... very different" "What do you mean?" "You can consider her as a cyborg and she has some ability. Back to the mean point are you interested" "I want the first one " "Good, very good choice. We are going to spend a few days in Metropolis. Went you are ready, you can contact us using this phone. pointing at the one that was already in her hand. Marcus got up and start leaving the room with Lucy following him. "Good luck with your presentation." She said to her while living. After Marcus left she looks around the room and walks to a mirror. Taking off her jacket and her long sleeve shirt. She looking at her reflection. you could see her upper body with only her bra on. The shocking thing was that most of the left side of her body was burned, all the way up to her neck. Later that day Standing on the second floor Marcus was looking down. Were she was presenting about Grey industry new product in front of a group of people and reporters. You may ask, why did Marcus name his company Grey industry? it''s because of two things. First, in a world of black and white, he wanted to be in the middle, nor white or blank. He wanted to have his freedom of choice, not a hero or a villain but an anti-hero and second, he wanted to call like that. Anyway, the presentation was about the release of Grey industry phone and most importantly A.I. "Looking through the system, I don''t see anything about her." "Oh, I didn''t put it in the system and I also placed her in the blacklist." "Blacklist" "let''s put it like this. If I put a name in there, it will protect your identity, stop people from going to deep into your personal life while tracking down anyone who tries to get information about you, access their danger level and if necessary (if the danger level is high) we will take action." "Can I get some information about her" "Curious?" "Yes." Fixing his posture, Marcus tap a few bu??ons on his phone and a hologram appears showing her and her full body analyze "more than 5 years ago. Me and Gine made a trip to Gotham while our went on one of their missions, I discovered her. Her name was Scarlett, at that time she had just graduated from college, she came back to celebrate. You also have to understand that she came from a very low-income family. She was smart, so she had great financial help to pay for her college but her parents still had to take some loans to help her in her daily life. that day at night went they were about to celebrate the loan shark came, asking for there money." "After a huge argument and a fight her father was killed while her mother was r?p?d and killed while she had to watch everything. Then they r?p?d her, after finishing they set the apartment on fire while living. " "you just stood there watching?" "...we got in and save her. she had already passed out. Sadly even though we save her she was already burned, a few months later I got some information about her. After the incident She had nobody to help, she was broken (mentally and physically) and she had to live on the street." "At that time our parent was at home so I sent Jarvis with a body. He introduced himself as my subordinate. We made a deal I fix her face, help her out of the street and give her a job, the CEO of Grey industry. I am happy for her having chosen the Extremis serum, it can heal her scars and giving her superpowers." Suddenly clapping sound resounded throughout the place. "She is done, let go I want to get something to eat" "Can we get burgers?" "Ok...wait, you can eat?" "yes" "You give yourself this function" "..." "Let''s go get burgers." Chapter 17 - Scarlett (Part 2) A few days later A beautiful sports car stops in front of the hotel. A woman steps out of the car, walking in the hotel. After checking in She made her way to the room number she had received. After knocking a few time another woman opens the door. It was Lucy, She let her in. Following Lucy she found Marcus sitting on the couch playing video games. "Oh, you final arrive," Marcus says as he gets up from the couch while pausing the video game. Standing in front of him, she had to look down since he was shorter than hers. "You sure you want to do this" "Yes... will it really fix m... what the heck what just happen, "she said while looking around. She had to stop mid-sentence because her surroundings had changed, she wasn''t in the hotel anymore but in a futuristic-looking room with white walls. "Follow me," Marcus said as he starts walking "This my pocket space and this is the place where you are going to get your powers. "Pocket dimension. did you make it? is this was a secret base?" "Yeah, you can consider it like that, so about you getting your power you don''t need to worry about it we did some adjustments to it. It will be more stable, after some training you will have complete control over it. but here is the thing, it''s going to hurt, a lot. "I thought about it this past few days, I am ready" "Good" Stopping in front of a door, Marcus places his hand on a screen after scanning his hand the door slid open. Getting in, if you look around there was a medical bed in the middle with equipment around it. "Please get on the bed" "I don''t do anything, change clothes or anything " "Oh, I almost forgot Lucy, please" Lucy then proceeded to move behind Scarlett and use a syringe to inject something in her neck. "Arg, what was that" "I will explain it to you later, it''s very useful." Nobbing Scarlett decided to trust them and sit on the bed. immediately she was restrained to the bed by some metal cuffs. "don''t worry, it will all be over soon" immediately after hearing those words Scarlett felt something insert in her veins, nake and spine. "ahh, what did..." She had to stop mid-sentence as she felt something was wrong with her body, something coursing through her body, then she felt it, wave after wave of pain. It was like her body was in a sea of fire and it was getting hotter and hotter. suddenly she starts coughing mouth full of blood and it didn''t stop but it was getting worse and worse with blood flowing out of her seven orifices causing her skin to become paler and paler. Marcus knew about this so he had already prepared for this. the tubes that were connected to her vein and spine started pumping blood into her body replacing the blood she lost which cost a circle of pain. In the room, the only sound you could ear was only the scream of despair of Scarlett. "Is she going to be alright?" Lucy ask. Even though her sentence sounds like she cares about what happens to Scarlett but if you look at her face you couldn''t see any emotion. "yeah, she will be alright and if anything happens Jarvis will take care of it." "Can we go to taste new food today" "I guess you have a new hobbies. Ok, you can choose the food." While leaving the room Marcus turns the light off. ==== More than 6 hours later A huge explosion happens in the med bay of the pocket dimension. As the smokes clear you could see a woman struggling to stand up in the middle of the room, she was n?k?d, her hair was burning with a few parts of her body glowing bright red. Looking around her, Scarlett discovers that she could only see in different shades of red. Suddenly, she felt like something was climb out of her throat. Not being able to hold it in, she let it out. To her surprise, it was a pillar of fire. She was breathing fire like a dragon. Seeing this, she immediately tries to suppress her powers. After taking a few deep breaths she discovers that her ability was slowly calming down. She also discovers that she could see normally again. Looking at the room she was surprised. The room was devastated, the bed she was sleeping in was completely melt she was even surprised that the walls were red and the wall her fire breath had hit was completely melted. Suddenly she felt strange from deep inside her she could sense two heat sources moving toward her. Then they arrived in front of the door and open it. She saw Marcus walking in when he turns around and his eyes landed on her she could see him visibly froze looking at her. He then proceed to look up and down at her like he was scanning her, he also had a...perverted type of smile. she suddenly had enlightenment, she was n?k?d. Quickly she covers her private part with her hand while squatting down. "Hehe, you look way better than before," Marcus says as he creates a towel and passed it to her. Grabbing it she quickly covers herself with it making sure that everything was covered she turns around but this time she saw Lucy standing next to him looking at her with a look of shock. "Wow, that is a huge difference," Lucy announced. "right, I tell her that too." "What are you guys talking about" Scarlett ask curiously "ho, here," Marcus said as he created a mirror and put it in front of Scarlett "omg, this-this face, is that really me." ''apparently'' Marcus thought. Here is the thing if you were putting the previous Scarlett on a beauty scale of 10 she would be a 6 or a 7 but know you can say that she was a 10 plus her physique you could give her a 12 and nobody will deny it. This Extremis was special. it was a mix of a boost version of the original Extremis and Extremis 3.0.(and a few other one) The original Extremis will provide her with superhuman strength (able to toss a car like it was nothing.), superhuman speed (up to 300mph), superhuman stamina(almost unlimited stamina, with no need to eat, drink or breathe air), superhuman durability(able to withstand bullet impacts), Fire-breathing, claw-like pincers, electrical discharge, healing factor ( able to heal wounds at an incredible speed). While Extremis 3.0 further boost strength, agility, reflexes and healing factor. Also, it alters your appearance to the most beautiful versions of yourself and nigh-immortality(halting of the aging process and rapid regeneration of body cellular structures.) "Wow, that is a lot of powers." [Is that all of them, after doing some analyze the should have been more abilities.] [Like] [Enhanced intelligence, technological interfacing and being able to adapt to hostile environments.] "Do you want to go test your new powers" "We can test them" "Yes, and you should. Letting you live here and then you proceeded to lose control over your power in the middle of the city. can you imagine the amount of damage you could have done." "..." "Follow me" Getting out of the room they walk in the hallway, After making a few turns they arrive in front of a giant door. Chapter 18 - Scarlett (Part 3) "This is the danger room" Marcus announced as the doors slid open. "That''s it," Scarlett says as she looks around. the danger room was square with metallic walls. "haha, when you see it like that, it is not impressive but when it is activated you will have different thoughts. Lucy, you will be in charge of her training" "Okay" Hearing this Scarlett look at Lucy skeptically. Why? because she mainly sees Lucy as a robot. "Oh, also go in the locker room to change Lucy will give you your uniform." ====== A few minutes later they were standing next to each other in the danger room. Lucy dresses in a secretary uniform while Scarlett was dressed in a skintight purple suit with Lucy standing across her. " Are you guys ready? " Marcus asked, his voice resounding in the intercoms. Lucy responds by announcing that the will start by testing her speed first. "wow," Scarlett cries out with shock express all over her face but without caring about her emotion Lucy orders her to start running. After half an hour, Marcus was surprised by the result. Scarlett had managed to run as fast as 500mph. Next, they tested her strength, she managed to lift more than 75 tones. Seeing those results They Continue to test her reaction speed, stamina, heat level and most importantly her healing factor, which was Lucy cutting Scarlett right arm off causing a huge explosion. Scarlett was mad but surprisingly her harm grows back in a few seconds. Seeing this Lucy declares that she wanted to test her further and try to decapitate her, this scares Scarlett shitless, causing her to fight with Lucy not wanting to have her head cut off. When he saw that from the commanded room of the danger room. Marcus took a bowl of popcorn out his pocket dimension and watch the fight. Marcus could have stopped but he didn''t want to for a few reasons, one of them was also to test her healing factor since the serum was working better than expected. After the previous testing, Scarlett was a little familiar with her power. At first, she uses all the skills she could think of to attack Lucy in self-defense but Lucy wasn''t a pushover, she evades Scarlett every hit while retaliating with fatal blows. Even though Scarlett had a healing factor she still felt pain. She could feel the pain when Lucy uses a pair blade to pierce her ?h?st and th??h. All of it hurt, seeing that she couldn''t win she decided to escape. Seeing this Marcus had an idea, after presses a few bu??ons on the panel, the environment the danger room suddenly change, it changes into the city of Metropolis. After making this change he adjust himself on his sit, eating looking to how the fight will proceed. [Lucy do you want to make a bet.] Lucy who was in the process of tracking-down Scarlett, when she receives this message from Marcus [What do you want to bet?] [If she manages to defeat you, you will have to dress as a maid for an undefined amount of time.] [And if she doesn''t?] [You can get anything] [Even if I want to create my own organization?] [wow, where did that idea came from?why?] "you said anything!" [Ok.] [Just like that ?] [ Even if you didn''t ask me I would I have let you do it,] [So can I..] [No, know you have to win this fight.] After making the bet Lucy became more motivated. What Lucy didn''t know was that Marcus also made a bet with Scarlett. ========== A few moments ago while she was escaping through the city she found a dark alley and hid. Just when she was about to relax, she heard a voice in her head, surprise it causing her to let out a small scream. [Relax, it''s just me] [Marcus... do you know telepathy?] [No, not really. You remember that Lucy injects you with something, those were nanorobots and right now I am using them to communicate with you.] [Is that the only thing it can do?] [No.] Immediately a screen appeared in front of Scarlett. [This is just one of its basic functions...OH SHIT!!] [Don''t stand There start running Lucy his moving toward you [Can you tell her to stop.] [Damn it, duck!] When Scarlett heard is words she did immediately react but surprisingly her body move on is own. Ducking and evading the repulsor blast that Lucy had fired at her. Looking up she could see Lucy standing on top of the building, ready to fire at her again. Immediately, she ran out of the alleyway at full speed escaping again. A few blocks away, on one of the skyscraper floors, Lucy set down. [Ok, what do I do know and why is she hunting me down?] [We had a bet] After seeing that Marcus proceeded to give Scarlett information about him and Lucy bet. [You- you dare bet on my life!] [ I am helping out I''m my not] [Not really, she didn''t say that I couldn''t help you out.] [You think I can win against her, she almost blow my fu?k?n? head off.] [Haha, today is your lucky day. she is using one of her weakest bodies plus she is mostly made of metal and with your power, you can definitely melt her.] [Your ruthless] [Not really] [So what do I get if a win.] [I will give one of her as a bodyguard] [i don''t want that] [So what do you want] [hmm, sure] Marcus decided to accept since even if she knew everything and decided to betray him, with a thought he could have killed her. [So what do I do?] [You have some advantage, you have speed and element advantage so all you have to do is get close to her and melt her] [Is it that easy.] [No, a soon as you get in her firing rage if you don''t watch out you will have your head blow up but don''t worry it can grow back. Probably?] [Probably!!] [I''m just joking... hmm, she already catch up to you.] [Already, what do I do] [Activate your power] [How?] [Like that] Immediately her head got to blow up splattering blood everywhere and her body fell limply on the ground. [hmm great shot] Marcus said to Lucy [so I won?] [For that you should have knock her out,] [Why?] [Haha you are going to see in 5, 4] [Why are counting down?] [Because of this and 1] immediately Scarlett''s entire body went in flame. Lucy who was standing on top of the building across the one Scarlett was in. she was using her advance eyesight looking at Scarlett''s body. shockingly her head was actually growing back. In the spend off a few seconds, she had her head back but looking at her you could see that she was mad, her hair was on fire the temperature around her was so high that everything at close proximity to her was melting. [That was fun] Marcus said to Scarlett [Shut up] Scarlett yield angrily. [haha] [Stop laughing, you could have warned me.] [Don''t worry about it. Now with your powers fully active, you can..oh run] knowing what had happened before Scarlett didn''t hesitate and started running. Immediately after everything started exploding with Scarlett firing missiles at the building With her super-speed, she manages to live the building jumping out of the window and landing on the street. Looking at the building, she could see it coming down in flames. Looking at the origin of the missile with her super-sense she could see Lucy standing on top of a building with a sniper pointed directly at her. Moving at such a speed even living afterimage she manages to get out of the way of the laser beam. Using all her strength, Scarlett jumps up making foot-hole by melting the place her feet touch. she runs across the side of the building. In the spends of a few seconds, she was already on top of the building and immediately got hit by a huge blast throwing her off the building. she draws a beautiful arc in the air and landed heavily on the ground forming a small crater. [...] [You could have waited for her to get up there] [This is a fight, not a game] [For you] [...] The place where Scarlett landed slowly started melting. Scarlett got up and looked directly at Lucy with a fierce look in her eyes and she disappears. Lucy didn''t even hesitate as she jumps off the building breaking the window of the building across. Looking back at the place she was, you could see Scarlett with fire surrounding her with a hand piercing the group were she us to stand up. "This is going to be a long fight." [Yeah] Chapter 19 - Scarlett (Part 4) In a few hours, the fight expanded throughout the entire city, living the city with destroyed buildings and stuff burning everywhere. In that short expand of time, Lucy and Scarlett had exchanged a lot of blow with Lucy fighting while retreating not wanting to fight at close distance and Scarlett hunting her down in a frenzy. As the fight continues Scarlett becomes better and better, getting injured less and less. while all of that was happening Marcus who was in the command room had stopped eating popcorn, now he had a serious look while looking at the fight. Since the fight started Scarlett had got mortally injured a few times which mean having her head or earth destroyed. the thing is every time it happens when she awoke she would get stronger and stronger. Which means with every dead she grows stronger. Marcus new that the serum wasn''t created to be like that, he even check the data about serum he injected Scarlett, he double check and triple check but nothing was wrong with it. ''what the heck is going on'' [Lucy, you are seeing this right.] [That she is getting stronger with every death.] [it looks like you are about to lose the fight.] At this point in the fight, Lucy had to escape, hiding to refill her ammo since during the fight Scarlett did everything to stop her from ?ssessing the spatial dimension. So after getting in a building, she would start taking stuff out of her spatial dimension, This wasn''t the first time she did this. During those times, she would give herself a few upgrades which mean she was also growing stronger which helps her keep up with Scarlett and most importantly she was building a weapon to take down Scarlett. In the last stop, she had finished building her weapon but she didn''t complete the power source, right now she had just completed it and she was doing the final adjustment when suddenly the wall next to her explode and a hand can out of it and grab one of her, immediately melting it. Lucy didn''t sense pain, so having her hand melt away didn''t hurt her but she felt annoyed since for her, losing her hand will drop her battle power. Lucy knew that in close combat with Scarlett she would be at a disadvantage. So she made a lightning-fast retreat drop smoke and flash pellets while exploding the wall behind her and jump out of the building. after landing on the street she made a few boost jump back. At this moment, a female figure landed on the street looking at Lucy. Lucy and Scarlett were 100 meters away from each other. "Look at what I got," Scarlett said to Lucy while holding Lucy half-melted left arm, that continues melting in her hand. "It''s just an arm," said with no expression and plunge her right hand in her spatial dimension and took out an arm replacing the one that Scarlett had destroyed. "I can replace on at any time" she responded with a smug smile on her face haha, I am going to cut much more so prepare some replacement she then took a fighting position. Lucy knew that in term of speed she was weaker than Scarlett so decided to take action and she took out a giant futuristic canon from her space dimension and pointed it at Scarlett activating it causing it to gather energy "if you are so strong why don''t you take this attack of mine." Scarlett was about to respond with a quick remark when she heard the voice of Marcus [Oh no, don''t later her finish quickly stop her.] [Why?] [Don''t why me! stop her] Remembering what had happened when she did not license to Marcus''s instruction, she took action running at full speed toward Lucy but sadly it was too late. Lucy''s fire, a white ball of light can out of the gun immediately the temperature around the white ball drop. Seeing this Scarlett knew she was in great danger so she concentrated all the power she could into a flaming ball and threw it at the white ball. ...and she totally misses it. Previously she had no marksmanship practice causing her to mist. But today it seems like God was merciful toward her although the fireball misses it, it flew directly toward Lucy. After firing there attack both of them couldn''t and didn''t have time to evade but had to take the attack head-on. So Scarlett formed a wall of fire in front of her, while Lucy formed a forcefield in front of her. Then... BOOOOMMMMM A few seconds after the explosion sound, steam clouds flew up covering the entire city. "Wow, amazing" Marcus said while standing on top of a skyscraper, looking down at the fight. A few moments ago he had got out of the danger room to watch the fight. Using his power Marcus gathers cloud and formed a strong wing, blowing the steam away letting him see the battlefield clearly. On his left side, there was a block of huge ice and inside it, you could a frozen Scarlett while on the right side he could see a crater with melting stone like lava and inside it, he could see a half-melted Lucy. Jumping off the building he flies and landed in the crater next to Lucy''s body. Squatting down Marcus flick Lucy''s head "Are you still in there?" he asks. Lucy''s eyes light up and flicker a few times before stabilizing. "I won" "I don''t think so. If she has the willpower she might break out of the ice, while you can do nothing but lay down slowly running out of energy." "So it''s a draw?" "Yep" "Sigh. so I am not going to be able to make it" "Relax, I was happy with the fight so I am going to let you build it but" "But what?" "As I said before, you have to wear a maid outfit but you will wear it for an undefined amount of time. So do you accept?" "...Ok" "haha" creating a hologram Marcus places it in front of Lucy. In the hologram, you could see different types of maid outfit. "Which one do you want to wear?" "..." After talking to Lucy, he deploys a few robots to reconstruct Lucy''s body. Marcus then walks to the ice and uses his powers to start melting the ice. Suddenly an alarm resounded throughout the room. "Jarvis, what happens?" "Sir a few moments ago I discover a change in the time chamber it''s out of control" "Damn it, Lucy let go, Jarvis takes care of Scarlett," Marcus said will pointing at Scarlett. Marcus immediately runs out of the room at full speed toward the time chamber "Jarvis prepare a suit for me." "Yes, sir" ==== This body was Lucy''s although it was incomplete it was the strongest one she had. Walking to the corner of the room a door slid open revealing an armory. immediately she stated equipping herself, finishing she teleports out of the room directly in the time chamber. Looking next to her she saw Marcus in one of his armor. Marcus was wearing a completely black version of mark 39. "Let go." On his signal, they both fire their repulsors and flew toward the giant planet that was facing them. Chapter 20 - Legendary Saiyan (Part 1) Doom Doom Two explosion sound resounded throughout the forest, with smoke cloud rising. In one of those craters, a black armored hand pierces the ground, pulling out the rest of the body. Standing up Marcus look at his surroundings. "Are you alright" Marcus ask Lucy who also got out of her crater and walk next to Marcus "Let go. " They both flew toward the base. After a few minutes, they arrive at their location, looking at the base Marcus immediately saw that something was wrong, even though the force field was activated, surrounding the base and protecting it the base was half destroyed with smoke coming out in some places and only one robot working to fix it. After flying in Marcus immediately start to gather information to know what had happened and the result surprised him. He discovers that Gine was the cause of all of this. "We have to find her," Lucy said with a rare look of seriousness. "Jarvis" "Yes, sir" "Please start searching for Lucy location, at all cost" "Yes, sir" "Damn... Lucy help me reconstruct the base" ======= an hour had already passed, during that time Marcus and Lucy had fixed most of the base basic system, and the rest of robots. Right know Marcus was out of his armor he was in the med bay fixing the healing chamber while doing so, he receives a message from Jarvis. "Sir I have managed to locate miss Gine I have already transfers her location to you" "Thank" Immediately Marcus got up and inform Lucy, getting in his armor a different one this time (mark 45) he flew out of the base with Lucy quickly following after him they were flying to Gine location. After 15 minutes of flying at full speed, they arrived toward there objective. They landed on a mountain and looking in the distance In the direction, they were looking at they could huge explosion and smoke being the sign of a huge fight. After further research Marcus was shocked. "Is this a different Saiyan form" "No, this is a legendary Saiyan" in front of them Marcus produces a hologram in it you could see a giant humanoid monster more precisely a cyclops he was more than 30 meters tall with a giant club in his hand and he was fighting none other then Gine. the thing is she was different. Now she was more than 2 and a half meter tall with muscles all over her body and more importantly, she had green hair. "She went full legendary." "What do we do now?" Nothing, I don''t feel like fighting a legendary Saiyan, we are going to wait for her to get fatigued and canceled her transformation. After saying this the look down at the fight. The fight was caustic, the size of the Cyclops wasn''t a joke with one swing of his bat he could probably destroy a mountain but a legendary Saiyan wasn''t a joke with pure strength alone she managed to dominate the fight, going on a rampage. "Wow" As the fight came close to an end, Gine started going more berserk fire ki blast everywhere and one was coming directly toward Marcus and Lucy. Even though he fears the power of a legendary Saiyan. Marcuse decided to test his strength, stepping in the trajectory of the ki blast. He gathers is ki and prepares himself taking the attack head-on. After a few seconds of struggle, he manages to deflect the ball ki to another direction. "Wow, that was great," Marcus said as he turns around to see the damage of the ki blast he reflected. At this moment he heard Lucy yelling at him. "Watch out" What Marcus didn''t know was that when he had activated is Ki reflected the ki blast Gine felt it. Looking toward Marcus'' direction Gine saw him immediately deep down a feeling of hatred light up inside of her ''he left you'' This feeling of hatred was growing stronger and stronger. ''He did come back'' ''he left you alone'' it was at this moment a taught dominate her mind. ''MARCUS KILL'' With that, she flew at full speed toward him Marcus was in the process of turning around when he heard a voice full of killing intent "Kill " Marcus wasn''t dum in that slip second after hearing the voice he knew he was in trouble he immediately active his helmet and force field but it didn''t stop her. Her hand that was coming directly for his head, breaking the force field and easily grab Marcus holding him up. Marcus quickly tries to talk some sense into Gine but she didn''t even listen to him, only looking at him with a murderous look. Marcus tries to get free punch her but she didn''t even flinch. She than slam Marcus in the ground in her right hand she started forming a ki blast ready to fire it at Marcus "You abandoned me" but she gets to fire her Ki blast since she got tackle by Lucy, flying away with her. Knowing that Lucy could not fight Gine by herself he quickly got up and flew after them. Halfway through Lucy receive a massive punch causing her to fly in a different direction. "Damn it" Marcus stop flying and levitated in mid-air. He did want to get close to Gine he knew for a fact if he starts a close-quarter fight with her he would get slaughter. So while levitating he activates all of his weapons and fires it at hovering Gine. her in response didn''t even care and flew toward the barrage of bullets, laser beam, and missile. On contact, there was a huge explosion but all of that didn''t stop her from flying toward Marcus. Just went she was close to him she received a massive laser beam from her left side. Lucy can you distract her, we are not going to win this fight with strength only I need to take action." "I can get you 10 minutes." Marcus flew for a distance and landed he quickly got out of the armor and took some box out from his personal space using those materials he starts creating a portal. 5 minutes in Marcus suddenly receives a message from Lucy. [Damn it, she went past me] The thing is Lucy''s body as said before was incomplete so during the fight she glitches, shutting down her flying system. Receive the message Marcus look in the direction of the Lucy he could see Gine coming at him with a enrage look coming straight at him "Fuck it, I didn''t even finish" he quickly put the armor on and look at Gine. [Lucy will take care of the rest, I will take care of her.] ''I have to all-out'' immediately the armor light up with neon-like blue light running all over, with blue lightning surrounding it. Marcus flew directly at Gine when they got close, they both punch at each other. After struggling Marcus finally manage to stand up retracting his helmet, coughing a mouthful of blood, his face showing shock, looking at his hand he could see that it was fractured in different places and dislocated. Looking back at Gine, he saw a smug smile on her face, which got on his nerves. Standing up he activated his helmet, with cracking sound, his arm when back in place. All over his armor, all types of symbols started appearing while the sky turns black with lightning flashing every moment. Around his armor you could see lightning and more importantly he release is ki at full strength. "Jarvis we''re going all out send the Hulkbuster and activate protocol red " He then flew at full speed at Gine. . Chapter 21 - Legendary Saiyan (Part 2) Their fight took place in both the air and the ground with Marcus b?r?ly injuring Gine while he had to use all of his tricks to keep up with her, predicting her move and teleporting to evade her attack. Sadly during the fight, he discovers that he couldn''t phase through her attack. She might not be super smart but in a fight, a legendary Saiyan could adapt to anything which means after discovering that she couldn''t hit Marcus went he phase through her attack, she used her Ki in a strange way that makes him take truth damage. He had been keeping up with Gine for more than 15 minutes but he wasn''t happy about it. Even through with his ability he could evade her blow, it cost him a lot of mental and physical energy since he had to keep up with her outrageous speed. He knew if the fight keeps going he would eventually tire out. But he receives good news from Jarvis, that the Hulkbuster had arrived. [Lucy I need your to distract Gine for me to put the armor on.] With that Lucy came out flying out of the forest ready to brawl. In a few minutes, Lucy got pretty badly injured, even losing an arm...and leg, causing her to be enabled to fight or flight. With a loud impact sounds, she landed on the ground with Gine on top of her, with a savage smile on her face, right arm stretches out with green ki ball forming, ready to fire. When suddenly she was hit by a long stream of repulsor blast, sending Gine flying away. "Damn, she completely destroyed you," Marcus said as he walks out of the forest in the Hulkbuster armor. The armor is more than 3,5 meters tall while it weighs more than 6 tones. Marcus had to use more than 25 arc reactors to alignment the armor and the armor color was black with blue sprinkles. "Shut up and help me. Also, how did she get so powerful?" "Hahaha, some droids are already on their way, coming to fix you. Is it complete yet" "I still need another 15 minutes" "I will try my best to stall for time." With that Marcus run in the direction, he had sent Gine flying. Soon huge collision sound resounded throughout the whole forest as it lights up a green glow and Marcus came out flying out of the forest after being hit by a powerful ki blast. He landed heavily on the ground, Marcus immediately got up, even using some to the repulsor to help him out. Before he could do anything Gine had come flying out of the forest and throw a powerful punch. On contact with the armor, a blue ripple appears, absorbing the energy, negating the power of the punch, choking Gine. In her moment of chock, she didn''t have time to evade Marcus'' hammer punch. He proceeded to step on her, grabbed her by the hair and proceeds to throw her in the air followed by a repulsor blast. He quickly teleports behind Gine ready to attack her but he was the one that received an attack, sending flying down. A huge fight proceeds to take place on the ground but with their roll were reversed, this time with Marcus being the huge figure trying to hit Gine while her hits were rendered mostly useless again Marcus Hulkbuster armor. This armor was special. Having Tony Stark''s knowledge also means having some of his paranoia. So he had especially created this armor to fight Gine. In the past when Gine had gone berserk Marcus knew that she would eventually get stronger and stronger and he didn''t have an armor that could take hits from her. So he decided to create this armor. This means having an unbreakable metal, meaning that it should be even stronger than Vibranium and adamantium. Going all out in is research during those past years, he manages to make a half passable metal. Meaning that the metal had a weakness, the metal is like vibranium, it could absorb kinetic energy. But this metal is much, much stronger and absorbs more energy, but it could not release it, and at a certain quota of energy absorbs it will start deteriorating. So after ten minutes of fighting, receiving Gine relentless attacks the armor had finally reached its limit, showing cracks on the armor after receiving a punch from Gine. After firing his repulsor, he made some distance between himself and Gine [Fuck, Lucy are you done yet?. My armor is not going to last for long.] [I need more time.] With that Marcus started fighting while retreating evading every he could. But this couldn''t last for long. Eventually, Gine brook one of his legs, destabilizing him forcing him to activated the repulsor on his back to not fall, using the momentum he punches Gine who meets his punch with her own, destroying the arm of the Hulkbuster on impact. Even though Gine was in a berserk form she wasn''t dumb, seeing that she could damage the armor. She smiles at Marcus and when on a rampage, demolishing the Hulkbuster armor, ripping out is remaining arm and leg. She forcefully opens the ?h?st of the Hulkbuster and pulls Marcus out of the armor, holding him by the neck. "Is that it. don''t you have any other tricks?" Gine said with a mocking tone. Marcus smile, he then activated his ki. Suddenly he buffs up gaining more muscle and becoming taller. He then punches Gine in the face with all of his strength, only managing to make Gine take half a step back. " Is that it?" Brings his right hand up Marcus started gathering all types of energy in his left hand Ki, lightning, Magic. He then combines them together, forming a ball that spread all around his body. He then punches Gine, but this time he managed to send her flying. Marcus then took a fighting position while consolidating is power. All over is body magic symbols started appearing, while behind him a small black hole appears in a silver liquid came out of it and formed a new pair of pants since when he transforms he had ripped his close to shreds. He then took out a silver mask out of his dimension and put it on. In front of him, Gine got up and look straight at Marcus. "You know, since the fight started I try to play it smart and I never let loose." With that, a lightning strike landed on top of Marcus. When the smoke clears away you could see that he had completely transform he had turned into lightning in human form. Seeing this Gine just smiles and a dash straight at Marcus. Marcus didn''t even hesitate and dash at Gine turning into a silver figure in a moment he was already in front Gine. They both punch at the same time their fish meet in the middle. On contact, a huge shock wave produced, clearly the forest and creating a crater we''re the stand. But they did stop they keep throwing punches at each other. With every punch creating a shock wave. Chapter 22 - Legendary Saiyan (Part 3) Seeing this, Gine smiles and a dash straight at Marcus. Marcus didn''t even hesitate and dash at Gine turning into a silver figure. In a moment he was already in front Gine. They punch, their fists meet in the middle. On contact, a huge shock wave was produced destroying the forest and creating a crater we''re the stand, but they did stop they keep throwing a punch at each other. With every punch creating a giant shock wave. And even if a punch manages to hit them they didn''t stop, they didn''t care about defense, only focusing on the attack. Every punch Marcus took from Gine would create a huge hole where it hit him, but it would quickly close up, while Marcus didn''t stop his attack. Even though Marcus punch wasn''t as lethal as Gine they still injured her. In a minute they had exchange hundreds of blows. Proving the superiority of her Saiyan physique with every attack she would adapt, getting stronger, faster and even more savage with every hit. But Marcus wasn''t playing around, he uses everything he could, going all out. The sky was getting darker and darker with thunder cloud spreading as far as the eyes could see, with lightning thundering, every stray lightning bolt that landed on the ground would create a crater. His ki was so savage and tyrannical that even as a stray rock that gets in contact with it would immediately get disintegrated. While his magic was so powerful and vast that for a millisecond it created a temporal storm. Which by itself was rare And such rare event it could get powerful magicians'' attentions and one of such a being was Doctor Fate. ====== In the middle of an ancient style room, was Doctor Fate, gently levitating. Suddenly is eyes radiated with light. He had just discovered a temporal storm, a very rare event even for him and it can only be produced by powerful magicians. Upon analyzing it he discovers that he didn''t know this magic signature. As the protector of fate, he had to know what had happened and who did this, if it was an evil sorcerer with an evil agenda. So Doctor fate was preparing to teleport there when suddenly he felt that the entire place was seal by a powerful magic and that the defense that he had set around this place was getting destroyed, pretty rapidly at that. He suddenly felt the wind blowing behind him, as the room gets illuminated in blue light. Turning around he saw a blue portal and inside this portal, he could fill a devastating amount a magic power pouring out, he felt like his magic power was like an ant in front of an elephant, no in front of a huge mountain. He could feel the energy getting closer and closer "Who are you'' "You can call me Grey and I think we have to talk." ========= A few minutes later Marcus finally reaches his limit but he did everything to keep up, even though he is getting completely dominate at this point in the fight. As the fight continues Marcus first runs out of magic power, which quickly drops his battle power. But he was still fighting, that is until he got a ball of ki exploded is belly breaking is Ki and sending Marcus flying. "Marcus the trap is ready, you proceed with step one at any time." Now having run out of both magic and Ki Marcus knew he couldn''t fight with Gine anymore and having heard Lucy green light to proceed with the plan, so he started flying away from her at full speed in the direction of the biggest mountain in the surroundings. Marcus was halfway through went suddenly, he got hit by a Ki blast. This attack destabilizes him sending him plummeting down. Marcus manages to slow down his fall and was ready to fly away when suddenly he felt a hand grab his feet. Looking down he saw Gine. She then when full berserk on him, throwing him on the ground which created a huge crater she landed on top of him making the crater even bigger, she smashes his face on the ground, she then drags it across the ground. She then spun him around and throw her toward the mountain at full strength which was immediately followed by a ki blast. With a loud boom, Marcus crashed on the side of a mountain, forming a huge crater. Laying there, Marcus cough a mouthful of blood and even a few teeth. Before he could do anything there was already a green pillar of ki coming down on top of him. It was fire by Gine that had flown on top of him. As a reflex, he brought his left arm up and formed a protective cover, Magic and Ki shield and even a force field but he wasn''t fast enough. Then! "BOOOOM" "aaargh," Marcus yells out while struggling on the ground holding his left shoulder having his left arm blow. Gine slowly flew down with a smug smile on her face and stand on top of Marcus. Squatting down, she picks Marcus up by the neck. Before she could say anything Marcus immediately teleport away, appearing next to Lucy. "Amazing, she even managed to destroy one of your arms. Haha, She¡­" "DO IT" "Ok" With a tough, the trap Lucy at been setting during Marcus and Gine fight activated. Suddenly Gine who was standing on top of the mountain was pulled down by a gravity field, magic spell and laser ray that increase her weight, while magic rope and chan came out of the ground and tied around Gine, bring her to her knees while keeping her in place. Gine immediately releases her Ki, struggling to escape. "You think she might escape." Lucy asked while looking at the hologram scream in front of her showing Gine struggling to get free." "Shut up and proceed with the plan," Marcus yells out while using the Endo-sym to stop the bleeding. "HAHAHA, it''s already coming, "Lucy said while looking up. The sky was completely black with cloud covering it when suddenly it was pierced by a bright red laser beam, that directly landed on top of Gine. With a loud explosion and debris falling everywhere the top half the mountain was completely destroyed. "So that''s the Helios," Lucy said in amazement "Jarvis fire it again, go into overdrive mode," Marcus yells out. [Going into overdrive, power at 200%] Immediately after an even more powerful laser beam landed on top of the mountain, destroying the rest of the mountain. "Can we fire it again?" Marcus asks while looking with shock at the hologram screen were he could see Gine trying to get up despite receiving those powerful attacks. [No sir, the laser cannon is overheated.] "So it''s my turn," Said with a fierce light in his eyes. Marcus turns into lightning and appeared in the sky, above the destroyed mountain. The hole in the clouds quickly closes up with even more powerful lightning energy. With every lightning falling a crater will appear, and with every thunderclap, the earth would shake. Holding his right hand up a bolt of lightning immediately landed on it, morphing into a blue spear (Zeus style) while his eyes turned blue with lightning flashing in them. Lucy who was standing far away could watch all of it happening. Even with her supercomputing power, when the lightning left Marcus'' hand, she only saw a silver string of light then "boom" a huge explosion, making the crater even bigger and even where she stood she could feel the feedback of the explosion. Looking up she saw Marcus falling, apparently, he had passed out. He landed heavily on the ground, with his left shoulder bleeding profusely. "Damn it, I am the one left to clean their mess." "Jarvis, please send the Quinjet at soon as possible," Lucy ask Jarvis as she flew toward Marcus. [Yes, Miss.Lucy.] Chapter 23 - The Gift Slowly, she opens her eyes. Looking around she discovered that she was in a slick white room. Searching through her memory she remembers the design of the room. They were the same as the one in the clinic room back on their base. sitting on the bed, she tries to remember what had happened. Slowly the memory started coming back to her. She remembers the long years she hand to spend without Marcus. She had grown up with him, use to see him every day. She had promised him that she could spend those years by herself but she had underestimated the difficulty of doing so. It was already hard for her to survive those 2 initial years but she did with the help of her loyal pet (The wolf) but sadly had the end of her second year he was badly injured, She tries to fix him but there wasn''t anything in the base capable of fixing him. She did everything to hold up for the rest of the years. But the two years ended and one more year. In the end, she lost control of her suppress filling and transforms. Just as she remembered everything, she felt her anger rise against, she was about to transform. But at this moment she felt great pain, having been electrocuted by the collar on her neck the electrical current was so powerful that even with her Saiyan physique she still fell down, paralysis causing her to be unable to transform. A few moments later the door slid open and someone walks in, standing next to the twitching Gine that was on the ground. Pressing a bu??on on her wrist, the collar stopped working. Getting up Gine looks at the women in front of her. "Lucy" "It seems that you have finally wake up" "How long was I asleep?" "Don''t worry about it, it only been one day?" "...You guys left me alone" "oh, that." Lucy proceeds to explain to her what had happened. That the time chamber had malfunction resulting in the rate of time to receive a boost causing one year and some to go by in a few minutes." "How? what happened?" "After some research, which mostly involves hacking the watchtower we found that an intense fight had happened, a magical one which involves time and space. A feedback result to all of this." "So he didn''t leave me?" "Nah" "Were his he?" Right now he is in another room, still pass out. That fight was pretty intense, even costing him an arm." "i-i am sorry," Gine says with tears in her eyes. "Don''t worry about there are so many ways for him to get his arm back. I am here for you, to help you" ======== A week later "Wake up" "WAKE UP" Slap "I SAID GET THE F*CK UP" hmm, what?! Who dare..." Marcus having been abruptly wake up by a slap, was ready to rage. He had to stop upon seeing the person how to slap him. "No way" "es way I am you front the future and bla bla bla" "...what are you doing here?" Marcus said as he got up. "To deliver some stuff and a message." "you''re not the real me are you?" Smiling"No, I am one of your clones. How did you know?" "Just a guest. Is the real me too busy to meet me?" "No, his...dead" "¡­" "Yeah, I never you would die one day." "Let me fix my hand first then we can speak about what happened." "Oh yeah, don''t heal it" "...Why not?" "Because now you go those." The clone said as a square box appeared on the floor. he also took out a square little black box and place it on top of the square box. "Having received those gifts, you will know everything. Sadly as a consequence, I will disappear in a few minutes," "You will die?" "Yeah, don''t worry about it." "How long have you guys live for?" "There are 8 of use clones and we already live for more than a billion of years "... I lived for billions of years." "Yes, you did. If you use the chip inside the armor you learn everything. Hmm, it seems that I have run out of time, I will take my leave. enjoy!" With that, a purple portal appeared behind him and suck him in. ==== ''What a short meeting... so I can travel in time'' Marcus walk to the stuff his clone had left behind. As soon as Marcus touches the square box something happens. The box created sharp tentacles, piercing Marcus palm, entering his body. After entering his body it started moving, going to every corner of Marcus'' body even his brain, hurting him a lot. Marcus couldn''t do anything to stop it, he just falls down grinding his teeth, trying not to pass out. After a few minutes, the pain stops. " Son of a bitch he could at least warn me." Getting up Marcus looks down at the rectangle box. Opening it up, inside it he found a left mechanical arm. The arm looks very futuristic. touching it he felt a new memory in his brain. Opening it up Marcus discovers that it was information about the arm. After skimming through it, Marcus was shocked. Why? because in the message future him that said that he had lived for more than billions of years and it took him half of his life to craft this arm. That this arm is the greatest and most powerful weapon he ever made. That he had used the best material to forge it, that he had obtained those materials from different multiverses and reality and even some powerful people. As a prof, the pall of the gauntlet is a more powerful and modified version of the power stone. This actual shock Marcus when he tries to get more information on how his future self got it he got blocked, seeing that for his safety is best that he doesn''t know how his future self got it. Marcus proceeds to found out how powerfull was it and the response he received was never tested. "..." The only information he got was that at full power by self, it can take out a universe but if he gets strong enough he might be able to wipe out the entire dc universe and at its strongest, he could wipe out the dc universe with a sneeze. Marcus then searches about the black box. He discovered that it was the last armor his future self made. After a few hours of going through some of the knowledge, he got bored. So he walks out of the room, after asking Jarvis he found were Gine was so he proceeded to walk to her location. Soon he arrives at the danger room the door slide open as soon as he got close, walking in Marcus almost fall since the Gravity was crazy high. After taking a few seconds to adjust himself, he creates a gravity shield around himself he continues to walk in. In the middle of the room, he could see Gine doing upside down push up with one finger. Standing at a distance he could see how she struggle but never give up. Pulling a hologram Marcus could see how since she wakes up, she would train until she passes out. [Jarvis prepare a Quinjet] [Yes, sir] Closing the hologram screen Marcus walk to Gine. As soon as she saw him Gine stop training and run toward him "Are you alright i-i am so-so..." Before she could finish Marcus approach her and hug Gine "Don''t worry about it, everything is alright." Gine didn''t say anything and just hug Marcus more tightly. "Listen go take a shower and put some close on we''re going out." "Where?" "Somewhere I should have brought you much sooner." Chapter 24 - The Punisher (Part 1) Not far from Gotham, on top of the ocean, a blue portal appeared in the dark sky and a quinjet came flying out of it. Inside it, in the pilot sits was Marcus with Gine sitting next to him. While he was piloting the plane, Gine who was seated next to him was staring at Marcus'' right mechanical arm with a painful look on her face. Looking at Gine and seeing what she was staring at, with a though Marcus grey metallic arm changes, taking the color and the form of a real arm. "Don''t worry about it, I got a better one to replace it." "But..." Gine had to stop mid-sentence upon seeing Marcus looking at her in sadness. "It''s my fault, I shouldn''t have left you alone... I am very sorry. So right now, I am trying to make it back to you. So we are going to the organization that causes the death of our parents." Upon hearing Marcus, she remembers the death of her parents, her anger grow but she manages to suppress it" Finally" "Yeah, finally" Personally Marcus didn''t care about taking revenge since he didn''t really give a fu?k if their parents were dead or alive, all in all, he wasn''t a someone that will go crazy over revenge. But Gine was and she wants it so badly, so he decided to help out... Also, they got their DNA and apparently they manage to make some clones using it and Marcus doesn''t like people messing with his and Gine DNA. "We should arrive there in a few hours." ==== I and my team were sneaking through the forest. I am part of the Teen Titan. The team consists of 7 of us. Raven, Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, Robin, Terra, Starfire and me, Nightwing. We had received a mission from the League to investigate an organization based in Africa. We are supposed to infiltrate this organization and bring back any information we could find. We slowly progress near a cliff where we could look down on all of the bases. " I will be in charge of this mission. I want us to get what we need and get out without any confrontation." Starfire announces while standing in front of the team. "This is going to be easy. Just live everything to me" Robin said " with my skill, I should be able to get in and out with the information without being seen. "No, We have to do this as a team and we don''t have any information on what might be inside." with that they both start an intense discussion. "Guys, can we decide on a plan first" Starfire interrupts wanting the team to focus on the mission "Everybody lookup" Beast Boy cry out. ==A few moments earlier== The quinjet was on autopilot. Marcus and Gine were standing at the back of the jet. Gine was dressed in an all-black th??h outfeed with her tail wrapped around herself as a belt and an upper face mask. While Marcus was also dressed in a black outfit but with a long coat on top of it while having a sword and a sniper strapped to his back. "Soon we are going to arrive on top of the base. When we land, I have to go underground to take care of their servers, while you can go all out, taking care of everything else. Gine grins. "Hmm, it''s about to be time for use to jump with that." the hatch open. "Let''s go," Gine said as she took the lead, jumping first. Marcus laugh then took out his signature mask and place it on, he then follows her jumping out of the plane. While they were falling, Marcus suddenly feels ki gathering, looking down he saw Gine starting gathering Ki into a ball. "This is going to be fun." === "What is going on?" blue beetle said while looking up. "I don''t know what she is doing but we have to stop her, quickly," Nightwing said. "I got this" Blue Beetle said, changing his right hand into a cannon and the suit sprout translucent wings and rocket, he was ready to fly. Just at this moment, in a split second the suit took control, bringing his arm up and forming a shield but it was too late. It was only half complete went bullet broke through it and hit Blue Beetle right in the face, sending him flying back. "What that hell!" just as Beast Boy finishes this sentence the sound of gunfire arrives, proving that the bullet had broken through the sound barrier. Looking back up Starfire discover that there was someone next to the girl he was also dressed in black but he had a blank grey mask "Look next to the girl" Starfire cry out. Using a pair of binoculars the look next to the girl where they found Marcus. "It''s him," Robin said. "Who?" Starfire asks "He matches the description of a new villain that appears in Gotham," Nightwing responded. "She is about to fire it," Starfire said "Raven¡­" just when she was about to give Raven her order a bullet graze her cheek. ==== "It seems that we have some guests." "So no killing?" "If you really have to I will prefer you to beat them up but please don''t kill them. also down go super Saiyan," "Why can''t I kill them?" "To much heat." "Ok" "You can still go on a rampage, I will take charge wiping out there server" with that Marcus took the lead by using his power to fly down faster. Before he hit the grown he slow down landing in the hole that Gine had created. He then proceeds to infiltrate the building with his object, the basement. The Teen Titans who were standing on top of the cliff watch all of this and they were shocked. Upon seeing Gine walking out of the destroyed building without any injury they snap out of it. Starfire immediately took command " Robin, Nightwing follows him inside the building. The rest of use will try to stop her. Their objectives seem to be to destroy the base" With that Robin and Nightwing, both jumps off the cliff going toward in direction of the hole Gine had created and where Marcus had jumped. While the rest of the team fly in the direction of Gine. After flying in the hole Marcus could see how powerful Gine attack was. It powerful enough to destroy the entire building and going deep enough to pierce a few underground floors, you have to understand that all of it was reinforced to be able to survive a nuclear attack. After landing Marcus immediately created a 3D map of the underground base in is head. After choosing is objective, he then proceeds to go to the elevator. As he got in the elevator he proceeds to hack it and choose the floor just as the door was about to close he saw Nightwing and Robin landed in the hallway. after the stop for a brief moment to look around they saw Marcus in the elevator. At the same time, Robin through a birdarang while Nightwing through a wingding. Just went they were about to hit Marcus he caught them and immediately through the back. Marcus knew the tricks, the chance of them being explosive was high and as expected they exploded. By the time the smoke clears the elevator door was already closed, leaving them behind. Running through the smoke Robin run toward the elevator soon followed by Nightwing, throwing a birdaring at the door blowing it up he jumps down trying to catch up with the elevator. the elevator was moving at a really fast speed, in a few seconds, it reaches its destination. As Marcus left the elevator he left a boom in it. He then proceeded to run toward the server room, just as he turned a few corners he heard an explosion behind him. but he did have time to enjoy it since he detected a ground of guard moving his way. Putting his hand in his personal dimension he pulls out two modify desert eagles. As he reaches the corner where the guards were coming stop and throw a grenade just he turn the prepare to shoot he saw a blur then there was no one. "You kill them." cry out as he manages to catch up with only to see him stand in the middle of a massacre with more than ten men dead around him. "...Yeah.I am going to make it simple for both of you. We don''t want any trouble with you guys since if I kill any of you guys, I will the league on my back. So if you guys don''t give up even though I cannot kill you I will have to break some bones." "I hear villain with better monologue than you" "Bang, Bang" two gunshots resounded through the hallway. Robin was fast enough to evade the first bullet that was shot using his skill, but the second one grazes his arm without him being able to do anything. Seeing this Nightwing dash toward Marcus and smash his escrima sticks in Marcus'' face causing Marcus to step back. "Sigh you guys are not going to give up, are you?" "No," Robin said while getting up, taking a fighting position. Chapter 25 - The Punisher (Part 2) Marcus sighs while putting his gun back into his holster, while also taking a fighting position. Taking action first Marcus move toward Robin and they started fighting. At the start, even with robin training, Marcus had a little advantage but with Nightwing as a backup, everything changes. With both of them teaming up they dominated the fight, that is for a few moments until Marcus decided to get serious which means he uses his ability to analyze their fighting pattern, predicting their movement and dodging all their attacks, while landing his. After a few more rounds he causes both of them to retreat. "Last warning" Marcus warn them in a deep voice. Without responding or taking Marcus'' warning into account they dash toward Marcus, which costs Robin a broken arm and Nightwing a broken leg. "By now you guys should know that you''re not going to win against me. don''t make it worse by getting up. You guys already ask for backup just wait for it." "hon do you know?" Nightwing asked in shock. The fact is since he saw Gine super attack he knew that things were serious so he had already sent a message to the league asking for backup. Marcus didn''t wait for them and started running but robin being stubborn, try to catch up to him only to have a birdaring trow by Marcus to hit the wall next to him and explode. Apparently, during this fight, Marcus had sneakily stolen his belt. After a few confrontations with a few guard group, he finally reaches the server room. Getting into the room, he inserts a flash drive into the central computer. [Jarvis, can you copy everything, then erase and insert a virus in their system.] [Yes sir } With that Marcus walk around placing boom everywhere, and when Jarvis was done he left, whit his destination the last floor. ====== Gine stylishly walks out of the building using the hole Starfire was throughout. She stopped at a respectable distance as she looks at the ground of superheroes in front of her. "The Teen Titans right" "Yes" "...I am not here for you guys and this is none of your business. SO SCRAM."Gine said as her last sentence was said in a murderous voice. "You planning to destroy this place and killing everyone is our business" Starfire replay in a righteous voice. "If that is so, prepare to get extermi...hmm something is coming," Gine said while looking to her left, Teen Titan also look at the direction she looks at and there they saw a man flying directly at Gine. The men look like he was in his 20s, his hair was short and green while one of his eyes was black and the other one green. Also, he was only wearing a pair of pens. In a few seconds, he was already in front of Gine ready to punch her, without the Teen Titan even having the time to react. But his punch didn''t land, as he was the one that receives a lightning-fast punch from Gine, causing him to fly back at an even greater speed. "Haha showing yourself in front of me is the worst decision you made in your life. You are just a clone of me. and today I am here especially to kill you and destroyed the whole place." Gine said in an ominous voice. Getting up you could see a savage look on her clone face "You think you can stop me, not even Superman can win against me." "Don''t make me laugh I bet the give you a few tests, then toll you this to make you confident. Getting mad he charge back toward Gine but Gine took the lead'' this time charging at him grabbing his head and smashing it on the ground. But Gine didn''t stop there she dragged his face across the ground. She then proceeds to throw him into a car which was immediately split in two. And before he could get up Gine was already standing on top of him, gathering ki in her mouth, forming a ball ready to fire it. When suddenly she was hit by a black pillar of magic fired by Raven. The attack was powerful enough to send her flying into a building, as the smoke clear Gine look at the direction the attack came from where she saw Raven flying with black energy surrounding her. The Teen Titan was surprised there wasn''t any scratch on Gine. Getting up she coldly looks at them. With a massive release of Ki, her clone flew toward Gine in his madness and punched her in the face, only to have her take a step back, being shock he tries many other attacks only to have both of his hand grabs and get head-butted. It was so powerful that a shock wave was created, the attack also knocks him out. She then places her food on her clone stomach. She then formed a little ki ball at her fingertip (Freezer style) and while coldly looking at the Teen Titans she fires it at his head killing him instantly. "You guys are next." Hearing her sentence Starfire had an ominous feeling" Watch out" she cried out as a warning. Moving at super-speed, she appeared in front of Raven she grabbed her cape and smash her into the ground. Forming a ball of ki she fires it at Starfire, who was flying toward her. She then moves toward Blue Beetle who she proceeds to punch but he was quick enough to form a shield in front of him ready to receive the punch, which sent him flying back. Just went she turned to attack Beast Boy she was hit by a massive boulder that pushes her back, with a punch she broke the bolder apart. Terra attack had managed to slow Gine down which give the Teen Titans enough time to react. Which lead to their counter-attack, where everybody attack. Gibe quickly formed a shield to protect herself, as she flew through there attack, grab blue Beetle by the neck and fly into a building with him. She was suddenly throughout by an energy blast fired by Blue Beetle how flying out ready to attack but he wasn''t the only everybody else as a group was attacking her in every direction. Seeing that she was in a predicament, she gathered her ki in her hand she then clap, The shock wave was so powerful that it pushed everything back, only leaving Raven up since she had her magic to protect herself. Getting up the Teen Titans could see Gine looking angrily at them. "That''s it, no more playing around" Gine announces as she fully releases her energy, the ground around her was cracking, floating and then crumbling into nothingness. Pushing herself to her physical peak she dashes at Raven who was the one in front of her. She was so fast that the ground crack under her step will she turn into a blur. But Raven wasn''t weak either she created a shield in front of her to block her punch which she immediately fallow by using magic to chains her. But using her absurd amount of strength Gine just rip it apart. She then unleashes a devastating combo breaking apart any defense Raven creates and she even catch up to Raven went she use power to perform a short distance teleport using her absurd speed she still manages to keep up with her and finally she manages to catch up with her. But just when she was about to deliver the last blow there was a red blur and she disappeared. "What?"Gine exclaim in confusion as she looks in the direction the blurt when "Eh," Gine heard a voice calling behind her. Looking back, she receives a massive punch that sent her flying into a building. "DAMN IT" Gine cry out as the building she was sent flying in explode, with debris flying everywhere" Who was it this time?" "It was me" suddenly a woman responded to her question. Looking in front of her she saw wonder woman and behind her next to the Teen Titan was Flash, who was setting down Her clone "sigh more people to fight'' "Young woman you..." Wonder Woman was about to start one of her great speech went she had to bring up her shield to block one of the Gine super attacks. Gine didn''t stop she ran toward the teen titan prepared to fight for a glorious fight. Chapter 26 - The Punisher (Part 3) At the deepest floor of the underground base, the elevator doors open as Marcus walk out of it. Looking around, he could see that this floor was abandoned. Why you may ask? it was because it looks creepy, the wall was destroyed or scratch in most of the places, most of the light was not working and there was no sound. Wanting to be cautious Marcus took out his sword and one of his guns. He was slowly progressing through the hallway when suddenly he felt a powerful force, push him back. It was so strong that he went through a few walls. Getting up Marcus immediately fires a few warning shots. Getting up Marcus uses his power to scan throughout the place, it was like an underground maze. He immediately felt someone moving at a very fast speed throughout the place. Predicting his or her movement, he fires a bullet where this person should be and as predicted it was a headshot. Using his lightning power he appears in front of that person, only to discover two things. First, she was female and second Marcus discovers that she had his abilities. Which means that the bullet didn''t make any damage to her. "This is going to be hard" than a fight ensued. While fighting Marcus discover new stuff. That she a combination of himself and Gine and that she was in berserk like state. She was fighting in such a brutal way that Marcus get through around like a toy. Getting serious Marcus starts using his power but mainly focuses on avoiding her movement, wanting to study her. Impressively it was like she had unlimited energy, attacking Marcus none stop. While they were fighting Marcus was also searching through the database he got from his future clone about her. Strangely he learns that he didn''t might her this soon because he didn''t attack the lab so soon and she somehow manages to escape. She then lives in hiding until she appeared more than 10 years later was she killed 1/5 of the league members and the destruction of more than 3 major cities. Forcing Marcus and Gine had to come out space to take care of her. He manages to capture her and he had experimented on her, discovering that the fusion of our Gene was incomplete but in the end, she dies while future me was trying to fix her. Deciding to stop this fight Marcus throws a few disks on the ground which immediately moves by itself, formed a circle around her and started su?k?n? her energy, both ki, and lightning while some other one increases the gravity around her, immobilizing her. "BANG" ====== On the surface, an unfair fight was taking place, 7 against 1 but surprisingly Gine was still fighting back, holding her ground. But even so, as the fight continues she was being thrown around and getting closer to losing whit ever round. So this was getting on her nerves, making her angrier and angrier by the second, eventually he rage was cut loose. She was ready to transform some of her hair even started turning green. Immediately the collar react releasing a devastating electrical charge forcing her to stop her transformation and grab her throat, even causing her to kneel down Taking advantage of Gine''s predicament, Wonder woman uses her lasso to capture her. When the electrocution stop, it took Gine a few seconds to come to her senses. Seeing that she was tight up with a rope she tries to break free from her binding, only to discover that she could. "You can stop struggling the Lasso is unbreakable," Wonder Woman said as the rest of the Teen Titans and flash approach her, standing behind her. But Gine didn''t listen and still try to struggle to get out of her binding. Seeing this wonder Woman tightens the lasso. The lasso shines a golden glow, compelling Gine to stop struggling and forcing her to calm down. "..." "Young woman, why are you here" "As I said before is none of your business, release before I make you regret it." Tightening the Lasso even more Wonder Woman ask her question again but this time Gine was forced to answer her. "I am here to destroy this place." "Why?" "Because they kill our parents." "So the other guy is you brother," Starfire says while stepping up "No." "Where did he go" "He went underground to destroy their research about our DNA" "So that guy was really your clone." "Yes, a defective and weak one" "Are you guys human Starfire ask" "I am not, but he is." "What are you?" Wonder Woman asks curiously. "A Saiyan." "Never heard of it before" "So if he is human, why do they need is DNA?" Suddenly smoke pellets landed all around them creating a huge smokescreen, then the voice of Marcus resounded all around them. "Damn, you guys ask a lot of questions" "Who are you?" "You can call me The Punisher and today I was here for some family business. I don''t want to complicate things even more so we are leaving." "You think you can leave." "Yes," With the sound of a jet engine the quinjet appeared, it pushes the smoke away revealing the quinjet. Surprising the superheroes. Taking advantage of this distraction Gine took action, grabbing the lasso she spun it around smashing Wonder Woman into flash and sending them flying into a building causing the rope to come loss She quickly release herself from the lasso. The Teen Titan seeing what had happened, they distance themselves from Gine. Immediately the quinjet weapons start firing, Taking the league raven created a shield in front of the team. Gine was ready to reenter the fight when she suddenly received a message from Marcus to get in the quinjet, that they are living. As Gine began flying back toward the Quinjet although begrudgingly. Flash came out running out of the haul Gine had through them in. He runs toward the Teen Titans moving them away from the quinjet firing range since Raven could hold much longer under the quinjet powerful attack. And a few seconds later Wonder Woman came out of the haul and seeing the situation, she took out her sword and prepare to attack when suddenly she was hit by a rocket. After firing the rocket Marcus who was on top of a half-destroyed building put it back in his personal dimension. He then dashes to the edge of the roof of the building and jump. He landed on top of the quinjet, Moving to the back of the quinjet, he got in the quinjet. Inside he could already see Gine sitting in the co-pilot seat. Getting in the pilot sit Marcus turn off the autopilot and immediately started taking altitude. Looking at Gine he could see that she wasn''t satisfied. After getting to certain altitude Marcus put the quinjet mode open the hatch and walked to the back of the quinjet whit Gine behind Him. Looking down the could see the entire base. "What are doing?" Gine ask Taking a cell phone out of his coat he passed it to Gine. Use this and everything will go inflame." "What about the superheroes" "Don''t worry about them they can take care of themselves." After a moment of quiet Gine press the bu??on and in a few seconds later the base when in flame why explosion happening everywhere. Leaving Gine at the back of the quinjet Marcus started flying away. Chapter 27 - Upgrade After a few more hours of flying, they arrived at Gotham. Lowering their altitude and getting close to the general direction of the warehouse a portal opens and they flew directly in it. On a lower floor of Marcus dimension portal open up and the quinjet came out of it. After hovering for a few seconds the jet landed. The hatch of the quinjet open, Marcus and Gine walk out of it. "Are you satisfy." "Yes." "Great, you can go change and take a shower we are living soon." "Got it. " "Oh I almost forgot," Marcus said as he stretches out of his hand and a small round blue object flew in his palm. "What''s that?" Gine asks, being curious. "Just before we left blue beetle manages to place a tracker on the quinjet" "Do they know where we are." "As soon as we got in this dimension the tracker was deactivated." "So they know our general position." "I wanted them too." "Why?" "To give them some information about us?" "Wait, you let them question me?" "Yes, when they don''t know anything about their enemy they get paranoid. Don''t worry about it I will explain it to you later." With that, they separated, while Gine when to the changing room, Marcus when in his lab. Walking in Marcus took off his coat and drop it on the ground with a loud "boom" sound, it creates a crater on the floor. ''Next time I should make the flour with stronger metals.'' Marcus though. Walking further in the lab, in the middle of the room there was a medical bed, it was Scarlett. While stretching his body to adjust himself from lack of weight on his body he walks next to her. Although Marcus took off his coat it wasn''t the only weigh he had on him, every piece of code was sharing weighed tones. He used then to severely limit his physical strength. But they weren''t the only thing he uses to limit his strength. The belt of his uniform was something that he specially creates, it produces a field around his body that increases his weight several times while not affecting his surroundings. This means that he could weigh tones but he could stand on a press and would only weigh his normal body weight. Standing next to Scarlett he looks closely at her, Marcus could see how the serum had worked a miracle on her body, by making her perfect. She even has abs while she didn''t work out a single day of her life. While he and Gine had to actually work out to get well-toned muscles and abs. "Jarvis are you done with your analysis." [Yes, Sir] "How was it?" [I discovered that she had a dormant meta-human power.] "Oh and what is her power?"Marcus ask being curious. [Strangely she could make herself and anything she was in direct contact with, for example, her close get better.] "What do you mean by better?" [Let''s say that you could cut her and her close with a knife but under the influence of her power after a long, long amount of time it would become impossible to injure her and her clothes (if she wears it every day) even with a gun.] "You make it seem like it would take a long amount of time for her to achieve it." [Yes, in her lifetime her power would have been pretty useless, But with the serum it became different. Her power would have taken the base form of her body and make it better. And now after being injected with the extremist serum and having gotten a super body and semi-immortality. The effect will show more since it would provide a greater boost, plus her power work in a linear way. So with her immortality she has no limit to her growth.] [Then what about when she dies.] [it''s not about dying it about critical injuries. The greater the injury, the greater the growth strength.] "Amazing." Pulling up a hologram screen containing the files about her. he started passing around the room while reading it. "Jarvis I want you to extract her DNA and created a serum with her power property. Also, name her file and power upgrade." [Yes sir] "Another thing, you said that everything she has contact with will also get an upgrade" "Even if it is inside her." [Yes ] [hahaha this is going to be fun.] "Jarvis I want you to get me, project Bleeding edge, project prime, project Pym and project Bloodshot." [Sir with all due respect, you want to get all of this in her] "..." after a short moment of silent thinking of what hat is had said. "She can take it right?" Marcus asks. [Yes.] ["Then do it." "Yes, sir." After finishing, Marcus and Gine teleport out of the dimensions appearing in the basement of the warehouse. Walking there was already a car waiting for them getting they could see Lucy in the driver''s seat. After more than 15 minutes of driving, they arrive at there house. They had change house, they didn''t live in the apartment anymore but live in a house in the middle class of Gotham. After ordering a pizza, that the chair with each other, Marcus was ready to go to bed. Just as he got in bed he heard the squeaking sound of his door opening. Not needing to look he already knew that it was Gine. What''s wrong Gine didn''t answer and just got on the bed next to him, turning around Marcus'' to face Gine, just when he was about to speak his lips were sealed by a sudden kiss. Marcus taught about stopping her but which man in their right mind would. So he decided to enjoy himself and as things turn more intense by the second. Which, in the end, turns to a full-on s?x session. Chapter 28 - Grey ==== In space, the Watchtower. The members of the league had an urgent meeting. Right now there were seated in a round table. "Why this meeting," Superman asks. After Batman press a bu??on, a hologram appeared in the middle of the table. The hologram screen was showing a picture of Marcus and Gine in their costumes. Batman then proceeds to explain to the league that during the Teen Titans'' mission of infiltrating a base in Africa. they encounter with some interference." The hologram then changes, minimizing Marcus and Gine''s picture, while showing a satellite view of the base before the mission, then changes to another picture of the base after the mission. What was the difference you may ask? The base was in complete ruin and there was a giant hole in the middle of the base. "What happened?" Aquaman asks. "They had put bombs throughout the base and when they left they explode it." Flash replies while pointing at Marcus and Gine''s picture. "Did everyone make it out?" Cyborg asks being concern about the Titans'' well being. "Yes" Wonder Woman answer him. "Who are they?" Martian Manhunter asked looking at their picture. A video then shows up, of Gine firing her super attack, then her fighting against the teen titan and when Wonder Woman and Flash came as backup. Showing that even under their combined ?ssault she held her ground. "She is pretty powerful," Superman said, now being even more interested. "and skill." Batman pointed out. "but she wasn''t the only skill one" Batman then show a picture of Marcus. "He named himself ''The Punisher''. He first appears in Gotham a few weeks back and took out a gang cell by himself." "A lot of people can do that" Shazam said, not being impressed. "In the mission, he fought with both Robin and Nightwing and won. Walking out of the fight with no injuries, while living each of them with a broken bone each. "What!" the rest of the league cry out in shock, except for those who already knew. "Yes, he is not to be underestimated. Nightwing said that it was like he could predict every of their movement. More importantly, when Wonder Woman interrogates the girl, we got some key information, that they were taking revenge, that they had taken their DNA and created clones of them. Which she proceeded to described as defective, as she had killed her clone in a few minutes. "And most importantly she revealed that she wasn''t a human but an alien, a Saiyan" "A what?" Shazam ask. "Don''t worry, nobody knows what race she is, not even the lanterns. So they had taken their DNA for some reason. Taking her DNA since she is an alien was understanding but for then to be interested in a human DNA is questionable." "Do you mean he might be more dangerous?" Cyborg asks. "I don''t know but it seems like he was the leader, so he might have some special abilities." "Is that wall we got on him," Martina said. "No," batman said looking at the flash "A few months back, a building was completely destroyed in Central City." a hologram video showing the building where the fight between Marcus and Gine had taken place started playing. "They are the same light you saw during the fight" Batman point out, comparing the super attack of Gine then and now. "You think it might be her." "Yes, we try to get more information about her but we found nothing," Batman said, " I think they are covering their traces" "I don''t ?ssume we know where they are?" Green arrow ask Blue Beetle had managed to place a tracer on their jet before they live. But when they got close to Gotham the tracer suddenly stops working. "So there is a high chance that they are in Gotham?" Green arrow asks. "yes." After a moment of quiet "And you want to take care of it by yourself, right?" Superman addresses Batman, saying what everyone was thinking. "Yes." ====== The Next day Marcus wakes up seeing Gine next to him. Remembering what had happened last night Marcus didn''t know how to proceed. Looking around and focusing back on the bed he discovers that both the room and the bed were destroyed. Marcus just life while also remind himself to give the room and the bed an upgrade -Later that day- Marcus, Gine, and Lucy drove to the warehouse. After arriving at the base, they immediately got in the pocket dimensions. While Gine when for her daily training, Marcus visited the lad. "Jarvis did you finish" [Then wake her up.] In front of Marcus was a giant tube with Scarlett floating in it [You really when crazy with this one] Lucy said, standing next to Marcus. As the water was su?k?d out of the tube lift up it only left Scarlett on the floor. After a few seconds, she started to wake up. "Hmm, what happens?" She asked being confused. Although at the start it was like she was drunk but in a split second her healing factor kick in. "Standing up she starts looking around eventually fixing her sights on Marcus and Lucy. Lucy proceeded to throw a towel at her. Marcus first presented Gine and explaining what had happened. That she was frozen and that a few days had passed, she immediately freaks out, seeing that she had missed work. Only for Marcus to inform her that Lucy more precisely one of Lucy''s body which now will be her ?ssistant /bodyguard had taken care of everything. Marcus didn''t tell Scarlett anything about her meta power or the different stuff he had but in her. After getting her dress and having eaten some food she was teleported back to Metropolis. Finishing with this Marcus was prepared to go training when he was approached by Lucy. "So you know about the secret organization I wanted to build." "Yeah." "I need a few stuff." After taking for a moment Marcus went in his safe, took out a briefcase and give it to her. "Use this and I will give you access to certain information from my memory. The thing is that Lucy was partly in Marcus'' head but she did have access to everything. She has a strict limitation, she only had access to anything only if Marcus let her. Just like that week past. But today was different Marcus didn''t follow their routine and stay late in the lab. in front was a giant tube with a body similar to his gently floating in it. Marcus was excited this body was special. Although it didn''t have Marcus''s power of lightning or creation it had other stuff going for it. First, it was completely immune to mind magic, body manipulation and have a powerful regeneration power but still, Marcus was satisfied. He wanted the body to have human attributes. Deciding to start the experiment, he asks Jarvis to seal the room. "Jarvis" "You can start." Upon activation Marcus immediately felt a tingling feeling go throughout his brain then everything went black. After an unknown amount of time pass, Marcus woke up but this time it was different Marcus felt weird. After taking a few moments to adjust himself he opens his eyes only to discover that he was seeing from two different directions. Through the eyes of the artificial body he created, he could see his real body standing in front of him while his original body could see his artificial body in the tube. "Jarvis open the tube." As the water was su?k?d out and the class tube was lifted Marcus artificial body was left standing in place. Marcus decided to take a step and they both walk at the same time. Surprise Marcus tries to make is original body move his hand, only for both of them to move there hand at the same time. ""It is going to take some time to get used to all of this"" They both said at the same time. ==== -A week later- Marcus was in the time chamber floating in space looking down at the planet he had created and next to him was his artificial body in an Iron Man armor. "Are you ready?" artificial Marcus asks. "I never thought of this. What am I supposed to call you" Marcus to his artificial self They both became silent thinking together. "What about this" Artificial Marcus said. "I can be called Marcus since I will take your place most of the time. While you can call yourself Grey." "Ok" Grey responded "Great, can we go over the plant one more time," Marcus asked. Even though I am strong I still need to get stronger, since him not like Gine it will become harder and harder for me to get stronger. So I split my mine in two one will have a normal body(for the fun of it) and my original body will stay in the time chamber to get stronger mostly focusing on getting stronger. I will also be able to come out one day of the week" "Yes, that''s it." "See you in a week." With this last sentence, using his power Grey disappeared in a flash of light. Staying in space for moment Marcus looks at the plane, he then activates his propulsor and flew toward the moon. Chapter 29 - Iron Man (Part 1) ==== One year later Scarlett was seated in her office in one of the highest floor of Grey industry HQ. Right now she was watching the news on a hologram screen. It had already been a year since she had gained her power. At first, she taught that life would have become easier but it wasn''t. She had to train every day to master her power. Marcus had told her that she had not reached the full potential of her power, meaning that her training was getting harder and harder. Sometimes she even dies mind-training, but it was true that she was getting stronger so she couldn''t complain about it. She was mostly cool with her train but it wasn''t the same for the company. Right now she was under a lot of pressure. During this year everything went wrong, the press and the nation were blaming them for everything. They indeed sell weapon but it wasn''t like they were the one selling or giving it to terrorists and there were not the only one in the weapon business. Grey industry only sell to different nations and it wasn''t their fault that they were stolen or used to do bad things. But the media, in consequence, the people weren''t listening to anything they said. Getting ma, Scarlett fire a fireball at the hologram projector melting it. She had decided that she had enough. After press one of the bottom of her desk, Lucy walks in. She immediately asked for a meeting with Marcus. Later that day. Scarlett was in front of Marcus. Who right now was playing a video game. "So can you do something to fix our reputation? It''s not like it''s not your company too" she said pleading for help. Scarlett said after explaining to Marcus the situation of the company, that if he let things keep going as it is, that the company will be finish. Hmm that so much work But you know you will make less money right Gine remark while she was spotted next to him playing with him. It''s not like you didn''t know this was going to happen and not plan for it." Gine said trying to motivate him. "I know but you have to understand that when we split I took all the laziness." "But right now you can afford to be lazy. You have to act." After a moment of silence. "I guess it a time." "Time for what?" Scarlett ask. Marcus just laughs and started to explain to Scarlett his plan to fix everything. ==== A few days later. In front of Grey industries HQ, there was a group of people with signboards protesting against Grey industries. But although they were protesting inside there was a group of journalists and other important people seated or standing in front of a podium and behind the podium, there was a giant screen. That wasn''t the only thing. Grey industries had special buy Tv channel, to broadcast what was about to happen today the entire country. When the time arrives for everything to start Scarlett walks on stage. She was dressed in a professional female suit. Arriving in the middle of the podium, in front of the mic. She introduces herself and started to speak about the negative statements about the company, that they were false. Immediately the journalist started arguing against it. At this moment some of the reporters and people started gloating. But the had to stop upon seeing Scarlett fierce gaze. The journalist who was used to her throughout those past 5 years of interviewing her we''re surprised. She had never been so agitated under any circumstances. She then started speaking angrily " Now because of all of this, you have pushed the boss to personally take action." "The boss?" "Boss?" A few of the journalists exclaim. They were not dum, on the contrary, their job requires them to be sharp. So they immediately pick up the word ''boss'' from her sentence. But before they could say anything, Scarlett continues to speak with an even louder voice. "It has been decided, starting from today the Grey industries will not make or sell weapons. We will focus on other areas." She then presses a bu??on from the remote that was in her hand, turning on the giant screen behind her. In it, they could the sky and cloud. "This is a drone that we created. It has no weapon but it is equipped with an advanced camera that will be used to live stream what will be happening soon. The camera then zooms in showing a shocking scene. It was a terrorist camp they could see all types of weapons everywhere and most importantly they weren''t weapons of Grey industries only. The camera then zooms in other directions showing people that were enslaved. "luckily it, not the only thing that can stream the scene down below." The screen was cut into different dimensions showing all types of different views and some of those screens were showing some really gruesome stuff. They were not blurred, they were left for everyone to see. "Using our superior technology, skill and connection we manage to sneak camera throughout the base." "Excuse me but what does it change showing us all of this and even throw you said that the company will stop producing weapons what about the one you already made, they can still be used to make evil things one of the best journalists of Metropolis said while getting up. It was Lois Lane. Scarlett just smile and at that moment, as the camera of the drone was zooming out a red blur when past it. In a cacophony of noise, the Journalist started asking questions about what was that blur or if it was Superman. You have to understand even though the justice league is a thing in this world it wasn''t like it was lawless the league couldn''t move everywhere under the UN laws which limit them in a lot of ways. But Scarlett ignored them while speaking over then. "Please enjoy the show." with that she walks off stage. Chapter 30 - Iron Man (Part 2) In Metropolis, a family of four was living in an apartment. The family consumed of a married couple and two kids. Right now the father was both scared and anxious. He is a scientist and he works for Grey industries. For him, those last few months were the worst days of his life. Why? Because he was scared of losing his job. He likes working for the company, not that he worked for anyone else. He started working for the company just as he graduated. His coworkers told him that it was the best job he could hope for. He could do any research as long as he has proof that his research would be valuable and that there was practically no funding limit. Sure the company was mostly known for making weapons but it wasn''t the only thing it made. Plus the company paid its employees very well and had great work benefits. But it wasn''t why he loves the company. The reason why he loves the company was for the fact that it was thanks to them that his wife was alive, they cured her of cancer. Yes, they have the cure for cancer...although they didn''t make it public. At first, he had stumbled upon some of the company employees bullshitting at a bar, that the company had some way to cure cancer. The thing is he had just received the news that his wife was a lethal case of cancer, that she would die in a few days. And since he was drunk, without a second thought he went back to the company, to the highest floor and barge in the boss''s office. When he walked in, he could see that the boss was doing paperwork and looked up as soon as he entered. But before she could say anything he walks in front of her begging the boss to save his wife''s life. Had the end she did, Although she said that he could not speak of this and that now he owns the company. Anyway, right now he was in front of the TV with his wife and kids. Watching the broadcast of the company You may ask why he was watching the TV? It was because when he had confronted the boss yesterday she told him to watch the broadcast and to let his kid watch it too. He trusted the boss, so he did. ====== Back Grey industry HQ After Scarlett left the stage the people had no other choice but to watch the giant screen. In the terrorist camp. They were gathering people, getting them in trucks. They had abducted those people from their house. While they were doing the terrorist who was in charge had one of his subordinates run toward informing them that they finish. But before he could give the order to move out he hears a strange sound, prompting him to look up where he saw a red figure flying down, in a few seconds Marcus landed in a classic Iron-Man superhero landing in front of him. He then got up while looking around. During those few seconds, the terrorist and anyone who was watching this even from there TV could see the armor in all of its glory. This armor was a modified version of Mark 7. It has a classic red and gold color. After a few seconds of contemplating the terrorist took action, they knew that a robot appearing in front of them was definitely her for a fight. So without hesitation, they open fire. Only to discover that it was bulletproof. After emptying their clip they could only stand in shock, while some were trying to reload their gun. But it didn''t matter, as Marcus started attacking. Moving toward the closest terrorist to him, which was their boss, he punches him, sanding him fly toward another. He then turns around, bringing his hands up and pointing it toward one of the terrorists. The terrorist who was opposite to him knew that he was in trouble. He was in the middle of reloading his gun. He was looking in front of him, he could see the robot hand with a circle in the middle of his hand and it was getting brighter and brighter. Before he could react he was hit by a repulsor blast in the middle of his ?h?st killing him while sanding him fly. He wasn''t the only unlucky one, as in a few seconds he fires his repulsor more than 5 times taking down other terrorists. But just as Marcus turns around to fire is repulsor he was it by an RPG. The blast sends him flying back but in a few skillful movements, he did a flip while activating his repulsor to stabilize himself. To the shock of the entire group of people, that the explosion did no damage while only dirtying him. Looking in front of him Marcus could see a small group of the terrorists with their gun pointed toward him while there was one in the middle with a rocket launcher on his shoulder. Being done with them, he scans the surroundings for more enemies. After seeing that everything was clear, he activates his repulsor as he flies away. Now it was time for the real deal. This was a small stop which he did for two reasons. First to save those people and second to alert them that he was coming after them. Marcus wanted them to be ready, for them to fight at their hardest, for him to have a glorious fight. After a few seconds of flying, he was already on top of their base. Just as he arrived he saw a bright light in the corner of his vision. But it was too late for him to react. Which is why Jarvis took control, creating a force field around him. But sadly it was incomplete so even though the force field reduced the power of the laser he was still hit by the laser beam, sending him spiraling down. Marcus tries to stabilize himself but he could do anything only to prepare himself for the crash. In a loud "boom" sound Marcus crashes forming a crater around him. After a scan of the armor, to make sure everything was working alright. He got up, he discovered that he was surrounded by a robot squad. All of those robots came from different sources. Some come from Grey industries, from Lex Corp, etc. And most importantly they have all of their weapons pointed at him. Chapter 31 - Iron Man (Part 3) Immediately an all-out fight took place. The robot started firing their machine gun. Since most of them were firing armor-piercing bullets or lasers. So Marcus had to evade them. So he performed a boost jumps out of the hole, easily getting out of the firing range of the robot. While his repulsor blast, they were powerful enough to create a hole in the robot ?h?st. But it didn''t stop there some robots turn around and start firing at him, while trying to engage in close-quarter combat with him, only to get destroyed. For less than half an hour Marcus as Iron Man proceeds to destroy the robot and kill any of the terrorists that he could find. He even managed to destroy their HQ and to kill their leader. But right he was stuck having to fight there reinforcement. As the fight was going on, in the giant screen in the middle a warning sign appeared this warning also appeared in Marcus'' helmet informing him that a missile was coming toward the drone. Since the drone was the main camera and it was worth a lot of money, that it wasn''t for him and that it was asked of him to save it. So he had to save it but right now he was surrounded. So he activates his laser while spinning, cutting anything or anyone close to him in half. He then flew up at full power trying to catch up to the missile he fires a repulsor blast at it destroying it. But he didn''t have time to rest he had to dodge another laser beam but as soon as he finished dodging the laser he saw a bunch of warning appearing in his hub as a bunch of missiles were coming toward him, as well as anti-air weapons being fired at him. Flying at full speed he manages to dodge some of them while also releasing flares, while firing his own missile at them. After a few rounds of fighting, he suddenly had to dodge a laser beam. But sadly in that brief moment of distraction he was surrounded by missiles. After a huge explosion Marcus was plummeting down even going through a building and crating a crater on impact. After a brief moment he got up, but just as he got up a string of warming appeared in his field of view. Turning around he saw it. It was a new prototype tank from Lexcorp. It had spider legs with a powerful laser cannon on top of it, their most powerful and right now it was pointed directly at him, with it cannon charging up ready to fire. "Jarvis transfers power to the ?h?st piece." [Yes, sir.] Immediately the arc reactor started to glow brighter and brighter. Just as the tank fire, Marcus also fires. Their laser beam meets in the middle, it could clearly see that the tank was overpowering him. "Jarvis transfers all the power to the ?h?st piece." As soon as the unibeam stops. The armor shot down causing Marcus to half kneel on the ground. In a few seconds, the armor rebooted, powering back up. Marcus stood back up even though he struggled a little. "Jarvis scan the armor." [Yes, Sir.] Upon seeing the result Marcus was surprised. First, the power level had dropped all the way down to below 10%. He was out of ammunition, his left leg was badly damaged with the repulsor not working. His right arm had spark flowing out of it. "I guess it''s time to leave. Jarvis sends a quinjet." [Yes, Sir] Marcus then proceeded to fly up activate his repulsor and destroyed all the weapons that were left. Finishing Marcus proceeded to turn around and flew away. Everyone watching the broadcast could see everything going in flame with explosions happening everywhere. He then turned around and flew away. The people were left standing, watching everything happening. The camera some time, special zooming in, showing Grey industry weapons going in flame. But this wasn''t the only one this scene repeated itself three more times although without all of this trouble before it finally ended. ====== Later that night In the LexCorps HQ, Lex Luthor was sitting in his office, watching a replay of Grey industries broadcast "I didn''t think they had such an advanced piece of technology." Lex''s secretary who was standing next to him commented. "Yes, I might have known that if any of the spies we sent there came back." "Oh, about them some or death while some betrayed you a female voice resounded through the room. Immediately lex secretary arm transformed into a canon. She quickly moves in front of lex while taking a battle stance, while pointing arm all around the room. "Who is it" Lex cry out From the corner of the, there was a change as Lucy deactivated her camouflage. Before his secretary could do anything her arm was hit by a small disk which released an electrical charge that short-circuited her arm, while also knocking her out. "Who are you? What do you want?" "Oh, I forgot." Lucy then changes her complex back to the one she had as Scarlett secretary. "You''re her secretary" Lex immediately identified her as Scarlett secretary, since he had spent years targeting Grey industries. "No, another me is" "What?" "Anyway, it has been asked of me to deliver a warning to you." "And what is that." Lucy smiled "I think you already know. You just have to know you two more passes before anything gets serious, oh also please stop giving terrorists our weapons." "haha, you think that was a trait." She just shrugged "Personally, I wanted to kill and destroy your entire company, but he didn''t feel like dealing with the aftermath. So here I am giving you a warning." "Who are you, people," Lex asks filling that something was wrong, As Lucy turns around a blue portal opens behind her. "People you don''t want to mess with," she said, as she walks in the portal disappearing. After standing shocked in the middle of the room, Lex moves toward his secretary and gives her a few slaps until she wakes up although. "What...what is going on? what happens.?" She asks being confuse "She is already gone "What do we "Postpone all of a plan and stop any operation toward Grey industries." "But Sir..." She tries to stop him knowing well how much money they spent trying to sabotage Grey industries. "We have different objectives now, we have to get all the information we can get about grey industries and the person behind it." Lex declares as he stands in front of his window looking down on the city with a cold and determined look in his eyes. Chapter 32 - Huntress (Part 1) ===== In the pocket dimension In the white hallway of the pocket dimension, two different footsteps could be heard. As they reach their destination they proceed to open the door. "Oh, you came to visit," Marcus said as he was sitting on top of a medical bed. Although he wasn''t critically injured, he was injured from the fight nonetheless. Although the armor took all of the hits, the blunt force of being hit by laser beam, missile, being sent through buildings and creating a crater on impact will still injure him. Scarlett stared at Marcus for a moment. "What?" "Can I fight with you?" "What." "She went to spar with you." Marcus looked at Lucy who was standing next to her "She wants to test my strength?" Lucy just smiled. Marcus then looked back at Scarlett with a serious look on his face. "Sure we can fight but there is a condition." "What is it?" "We will only fight for one round." "Ok" "By the way can I see your armors?" "Sure, Jarvis sent us to the armory." In a flash of light, they disappearing then reappearing in a giant room. Looking around the room Scarlett was shocked. She was already impressed by Marcus''s armor and upon hearing from Lucy that he had more she didn''t believe her but now she could see countless armor all around the room. "So many," Scarlett said in shock. "Yep," Marcus said proudful. "But are they that powerful?" Being doubtful. Marcus stared at her for a few seconds. "You really want to test my strength. Why?" haha, Lucy laugh by the side "We have to he became a great friend..." "And¡­" "I told her that you don''t have any power or take any serum but you could still win in a fight.'' "So you antagonize her to spar with me." "It''s not like you get anything to lose." "true Jarvis prepare Mark 23." [Yes, Sir] = A few minutes later = Marcus and scarlet were standing facing each other in the middle of the danger room. Right, it was set in the city of Metropolis. After a few seconds of looking Marcus up, she asked, not understanding. "Why did you change armor?" ''Oh very simple, most of my armors are built to face specific situations. it can go from fighting underwater, to fighting in space and even a large scale war." "Like, the armor you used previously." "No, the armor I use was a normal one, an all-rounder. but for a big war the armor I would have used is different." as he said that, a hologram of the war machine was projected in front of Scarlett. "This is a subcategory of my armor. This is the War Machine." "How is it different?" "Apart the obvious weapon on his shoulder it has more weapons, more ammunition, more defense. If I want could put a nuke in it." "So what is the specialty of the armor you are wearing now?" "Oh, this armor is perfect for fighting you, meaning it has great resistance to fire." "So basically you got armor for every situation." "When to test it." "Nodding" Scarlett created a ball of fire and through it a Marcus, upon impact it just disperses without making any damage. Taking this as the sign for the start of the fight Scarlett released her full powers, turning into a burning figure and even melting the ground she was standing on. She dashes toward Marcus, arriving in front of him she immediately punches toward his face bringer along with her fist a massive amount of fire, only to have her blow deflected while having her head blast by repulsor blast straight in the face. Immediately her body froze up and fall down. [ you didn''t have to go that hard on her. ] Lucy''s voice resounded in Marcus''s helmet. "I still won." as soon as Marcus said that, he had to twist his upper body to evade Scarlett fireball. The fight already ended." Marcus announced "But¡­" "But what I only said that we were going to fight one round. You have to understand my fighting as Iron Man is based around you. So if you want to win you''re going to need more then raw strength and power. "... Do you know how I can get stronger?" "Sure," Marcus responded as he proceeded to get out of the armor and stood next to it. " I am going to let you borrow this armor, every time you need to train you can just call for Jarvis. She will teach you martial arts, how to control your power and a lot more." Currently, Marcus was walking to the end of the armory, at the end of it there a door which he proceeds to entire. Did you really have to do that" Lucy said as she walks next to him "What?" Marcus asks, while not even looking back. "The fact that you use a suit made of adamantium to fight her," "What did you want me to do, with her power she could melt through any normal armor I have, plus I had to prove that I was stronger than her." Having heard his answer she decided to drop the subject. So you are going out. She said as she looks at Marcus changing into his Punisher costume. It''s not like I got anything to do, and it''s only the two of us since Gine went back into the time chamber. Marcus then took two desert eagles and placed them in the holster. He then took a sword the shaft it in is back fallow by him picking his utility belt and finally picking up a new version of his silver mask. This one was different since it was made of nanotechnology and just like the costume, he was wearing they were made of vibranium. This mask wasn''t plane like the previous one since it has eyes (although they are white) and a mouth. Marcus then wears a long coat on top of his costume as he walks out of the armory. "Will you need help?" Lucy offers. "No, I will be alright, oh need your help with something else I need you to employ a few people." ====== In the night sky of Gotham, a female figure was gracefully traveling from rooftop to rooftop. Her superhero name was Huntress and right now she was performing her daily superhero work through Gotham. Suddenly, she heard an explosion. Stop she turn around and look toward the origin of the explosion. After a few minutes of travel, she reached her objective which was a Star Lab warehouse. She immediately found a way to sneak in. Inside she started to search for the intruder, which was easy as she heard a gunshot. There she found him, He was apparently Gotham''s new villain "Let see if you have the skill to survive as a Gotham villain." she whispers. Taking out her crossbow and load it she then proceeded to aim it at the punisher, she then. Chapter 33 - Huntress (Part 2) Marcus had decided to go out tonight. His objective was of the many inventions Star Lab created. After arriving at one of their warehouses, and since he didn''t feel like doing it sneakily, he directly blows up any door that was in his way. After knocking out the guards, he then went to their computer and started looking through their inventory. After he found what he was looking for he went for it. Arriving in front of the box, he took out his gun and fired at the lock. Putting it back in its holster, he then opens the box in which was a tube with a strange orange liquid inside it. This was Marcus''s objective, this serum was known as velocity 9. It was a serum that grand superspeed. Just when he was about to take it. The hub of his mask went red, informing him that he had entered combat. Immediately Marcus knew that he was in danger, so he took action. Turning around he had to catch an arrow inch from his face. "Holy shit," Marcus yelled in his mind, being mad. "Who was it." he cries out while dropping the arrow and took out his gun and started shooting from the direction the arrow came from. Only for him to have to dodge another arrow that came behind him. Seeing this he stops firing while calming down. He then started scanning the building. "Oh, so it''s the huntress." a little surprised by the fact she was discovered, she responded " And you a..." "Bang." she didn''t finish she had to move to the side to dodge a bullet. "The name is Punisher, I thought you were a hero but you try to kill me.": "You are a criminal, of course, I would take the step necessary to kill you," She responded while she kept changing her hiding place. But to no avail, as The Punisher red mechanical eyes keep following her. "Hmm, it seems you haven''t learned to temper your methods yet." "What do you mean?" "Don''t worry about it," Marcus says as he put his gun in his holster. " What about fighting seriously?" He said while he took the serum from the box and placed it in his belt. After a few rounds, Huntress was already losing. Just when Marcus was about to bypass her defense and was about to punch her in the face, he was sent flying by a flying kick. He collides into a box, destroying. "So we got someone new in the ring," Marcus said as he got up. Next to Huntress was Nightwing. "I guess I was right for coming back to Gotham." "You want revenge?" Marcus asks looking at him. "What do you think?" He responded while taking a fighting position with his escrima sticks in hand. "2 against one, you guys are still going to lose," Marcus said as he moved toward them. But in a few minutes of fighting, he had to dodge a birdarangs. "I guess it 3 against one." but in a few rounds, Marcus discovers that he was at a disadvantage, not that he couldn''t contend with them, but he discovers that he was getting tired and he knew if he keeps going he would get defeated. He also came to the realization that eventually Batman will also arrive, and with the four of them fighting him, without him taking drastic measures, he will not only be defeated, he would also be captured. So after receiving a hit from a huntress, he quickly drops a smock pellet as he fires his grappling gun, trying to get to the second floor, as he gets there he starts running toward the window. When he looked back he could see all three members of the bat-family were running behind him. fuck after cursing under his breath he just through the window destroying it and landing on the street. Having landed on the ground he was ready to run away. but when he looked toward his left he saw a batmobile coming toward him. Marcus immediately knew that he was in trouble. So he stops in the middle of the street and took his sword, taking a stance. Suddenly the sword turned blue and he swung it. A huge arc of blue electricity flew toward the batmobile directly cutting in two and exploding it. Marcus didn''t have time to enjoy his work since he had to dodge the attack of the bat-family who was dropping on top of him. A soon after he got up after glazing behind him he immediately started running. Using his grappling gun, he manages to get to the rooftop. Just like that, the hunt started with The Punisher being the prey. While The Punisher was jumping from rooftop to rooftop he had to dodge arrow, birdarangs, and wingdings. But he still manages to dodge every single one of them while keeping the same speed. So everything was alright, that is until midjump from one of the rooftops his foot was entangled by a grappling gun, pulling him down. In his decent he even hit a few fire escape stairs with manage to slow down is fall but eventually, he landed in the middle of the street "Hmm," the Punisher grunt as he gets up. Looking in front of him he could see a car come to an abrupt stop. "Shit," he curses knowing that he was in trouble and as expected before he could do anything he was surrounded by the bat family in all four directions. "I know you would have escaped." The punisher said while looking at Batman. "Surrender peacefully, you have no way out," Batman said in a deep voice. "That is true, with you here, there is no way out. But I came prepared." All the members of the Batfamily felt something wrong, knowing that they weren''t going to like his next word. Four of you, perfect. He said while smiling which was surprising since they thought the mouth on the mask was only for esthetic. He brought his hand up to press a bu??on on his wrist computer. " Right now throughout Gotham, there are four bombs and each of them as a timer. " He then proceeded to give out their location. "So you guys know have two choices, either you guys save people or you capture me." "Your bluffing," Huntress said plainly. Seeing this Bat-Family was angry and ready to attack him. "Relax there is nobody in the building but there is a tone of people in..." The Punisher sentence was cut short as he was punched by Huntress, which he saw coming and did care enough dodge. He only looks back at her with a savage smile on his face. Chapter 34 - Huntress (Part 3) "So what is it going to be?" "You think you are going to escape," Nightwing said. "Are you going to let people die, if not then yes, I am going to escape." The Punisher said in response. Not saying anything the member of the Bat-Family all looks at Batman waiting for his decision. "Bombs" As soon as he said so each one of them chose a bomb and went to it. "Great choice." The Punisher said as a motorcycle pulled up next to him. "We will meet again." With that Batman fired his grappling gun, going toward one of the bombs. "We sure will." He said to himself as he got on the bike. "Hey, Jarvis," Marcus calls out as he puts his helmet on. [Yes, Sir.] "Can you tell me, toward which direction Huntress went." ===== At blinding speed, a dark figure brooks through the window of an apartment as he gets in the building. Without a moment of hesitation, he moves toward the bedroom getting in there he... found a computer on the bed. The figure slows down, scanning the room after finding nothing he turns on the computer. As soon as he turned it on The Punisher voice came out of it. " Damn I managed to trick Batman hahaha," His laugh started to resonate throughout the room. But Batman wasn''t surprised, he already knew that he was taking a risk since he didn''t know a lot about the punisher, he didn''t know his bottom line. Just when he turned around to leave the room he was stopped by the Punisher. "Ok ok ok, listen I don''t want you to have a vendetta against me. so I am going to give you something." Immediately a group of files appeared on the computer screen. "Those are the file of some villain, their plans and a lot of other stuff. So are we good?" Without saying anything Batman inserts a flash drive into the computer, After he was done he left the room without saying anything. After a few seconds, he got on the rooftop. Using his earpiece he contacted his Team. "Did you guys find anything?" "No Bombs, Just a ??ptop that not working," Robin responded "The same thing," Nightwing said. "..." "Huntress" Batman calls out. But there was no response. "Alfred get me the location of Huntress." In one of Gotham many apartments. In one of the middle floor bedrooms, Huntress woke up from being knocked out. A few minutes ago after getting into the building, she was hit behind the head. Anyway right now she was tight into a chair and in front of her was the punisher sitting on the bed. So I know you are going to play it badass by not saying anything but I don''t have a lot of time... "What do you want?" Huntress interrupts him. "To make a deal." "Why would I want to make a deal with you?" "Because it would be very beneficial to you "Even so, I would make a deal with a criminal?" "We are not that different." "I am not a criminal." "You also kill people." "I don''t steal." "you stole from Wayne''s industry to fund yourself." "How do y..." This time it was The Punisher turn to cut her off. " Like I said before, not a lot of time. The deal is to help you... and best friend gets back to your earth." Upon hearing him Huntress was visibly shocked. " I can even help you save your plane." The Punisher said with a smile on his face. "H-how..." "Listen, I''m going to give you time to think about it. When you decided..." He said as he inserted a phone in her belt "Give me a call." With that, he left. A few minutes later, the room is infiltrated by the bat-family. "where is he?" Batman asks. "You guys are a few minutes late" She responds absentmindedly since she was still thinking about what The Punisher told her. ===== At Marcus''s apartment. Dress as the punisher he parks his bike in the garage and walks in the house. He did care since it was dark and there was nobody on the stress close to his house. "Damn, this time I almost got caught." He yells out as he throws his jacket on the couch while also taking out his sword and guns, placing them on the table." "Yeah, it was sad to look at," Lucy said. "Thanks, for the help anyway. I will need more and better equipment." he then proceeded to take the serum out of his bell and through it toward Lucy, which she caught perfectly." Can you give this to Grey next time you visit him," "Sure" ===== A few months have already passed. During this time a lot of things had happened. During this time Grey industries have made a complete turn over from the public eyes with them stopping making weapons and investing more into more useful inventions ( and making more money.) while also investing in charities. But more importantly there popularity grows with the help of Iron Man. After his fight with the terrorist during those past months, he has been running around saving and helping people...while also looking badass. But that wasn''t the only thing the world got a new supervillain, one that was very active for the past month, With no hero coming close to catching him. Anyway, tonight Marcus dressed as The Punisher and was standing in front of a warehouse in Gotham. of course, he just bought it a few days ago. As he was waiting he took out his phone and started playing video games. With a "whoosh" sound a female figure landed in front of him, then a few seconds later a purple bike also stopped in front of him. "You guys finally arrive." Marcus said while not looking away from his phone screen. Walking in front of Marcus. Power girl said in all seriousness. "Can you be serious." "I waited for you guys, but you guys were later. Now let me finish my game." After a few minutes, He finally stops playing. Look in front of him he could see both Power Girl and Huntress looking at him. " Follow me," Marcus said as he got in the building with them walking after him. Getting in they could immediately see a giant machine in the middle of the warehouse. "Is that it, the machine that can send us to our earth?" Power Girl asks. "Yeah," Marcus answers lazily. When are we going to ask" This time it was Huntress who questioned him. We have to wait for a few people." As soon as Marcus said so a blue portal opened in front of them. After a few minutes, Grey steps out of the portal equipped with the grey Iron Man Infamous armor with the cap and all. Then Gine also comes out, she was wearing the same type of armor but it was dark, with no helmet or cape and it was more feminine. " Who are they," Power Girl asks, being wary of them. This Grey and Gine." Marcus introduces them. " They are going with you and are going to help you save your world." Chapter 35 - Demons (part 1) "How can they help," Huntress asks. Marcus smiles, "you want to test their strength, you guys can fight to test it out ." "You sure," Power girl asks in confirmation. "Don''t underestimate us, try your best." This time Grey was the one that answered her, as he walked in the middle, while Gine moved awaits from him and standing next to Marcus." Nobbing Power girl levitated off the ground, then at blinding speed she flew at Grey ready to punch her, but even though they told her to go all out, secretly she was holding back since she believed that she was stronger. But her fist was stopped a few inches away from Grey''s face. She was shocked that he managed to stop her, after a few seconds she tried to move but she discovered that she froze in mid-air. With a tub sound she fell face-first on the ground, she quickly got up, looking at Grey seriously. " Are you going to get serious now?" Grey asks. Backing away from Grey and taking a fighting position, "I am not going to hold back anymore" Power girl warns him. Now having taken things seriously, She dash tower him cracking the floor with every step she takes. She was moving so fast that Huntress and Marcus only saw her despaired. During her mad dash toward Grey, Power girl was very cautious, since last time she didn''t know how he manages to stop him, But she mostly related to telekinesis and she had broken free from then many times, so she was confident that at full strength she could break through it. Anyway, as she was a few feet away from Grey she saw no reaction from him, which made her happy, boosting her confidence, even more, thinking that he couldn''t follow her speed since she was much faster than the previous time. Arriving in front of him, she punches. her fist breaking the air apart approaching Grey face suddenly there was a change. Power Girl saw Grey''s armor blue eyes stop staring into her previous location and was looking at her. Even though that surprise she still believed that she was going to win since it was already too late to dodge the attack... She was so wrong and she was proven so when at a speed at even faster then her, Grey moved his head to the right dodging her punch. In those milliseconds, she could see her fist grazing along Grey''s helmet creating sparks. But she had to look away from this beautiful scene to look down at Grey''s right arm, which he had suddenly pulled back. Even though she could see what was happening her body wasn''t fast enough to react. So she had to watch in horror as she felt two different energy gathering in Grey. One formless and vast having great vitality and the other one sharp and chaotic. She had to watch him gather those energies in his... palm. Although she could see the other energy, she could see the chaotic, discovering that it was electricity. Then with a motion so fast, that she only saw a blur as she felt a strong force impacted in her stomach. Causing her to immediately spat out blood before blasting her away, even faster then she came. Suddenly as she flew out Gine appeared behind her, catching her and doing everything she could to slow down their momentum while not trying to injure Power girl further. "W-What just happened?" Huntress asks being lost at what happened. For her, a moment Power Girl d?s?r?d and another moment she appeared at the opposed end of the warehouse coughing blood with Gine holding her. But being a true detective, with a look at the battlefield, she could somehow guest what happens. "H-how?" She suddenly heard Power Girl ask. "Are you satisfied now," Grey asked. A few moments later after everyone comes to an understanding Marcus turns on the device letting them walk through the portal. Right now Marcus was standing in the middle of the warehouse looking around himself. "You see in moments like this I wish I smoke so that I could look cool." If anybody was in here they would have thought that he was talking to himself but suddenly a woman walked out of the shadow. "So why not do it?" "Why are you here?" Marcus asks, changing the subject. "Scarlett tries to contact you but there were no answers." "Oh, yeah this place cut any signal... it blocks everything since I wanted to keep it secret." "Ok, I got some news that is going to make you happy." So right now Marcus in a quinjet Flying toward one of the portals that, after he made a deal with the Justice League to team up, he was ?ssigned too." So I am doing all of this work to make your company, what do I get out of it." Marcus said to the hologram of Scarlett. "But, You get the fame and financial support from the company. Plus I know you like being Iron Man." "You have a point. So why did you call?" "So you always say that you are bored, so the company has been pressured to reveal their top scientist. So since you''re the one that created most of our invention do you want to be the face of the company." "...Sure why not." Marcus said while smiling. " So do you want to do a big revelation or not?" "I would like to have a big one, but we would need a great invention for that." "oh, I got the perfect invention for that," Marcus said as he looked through his file. Finding what he was looking for, he sends it to Scarlett. "This is," she asks. "You know the glowing thing in the middle of the ?h?st of my armor." "Yeah" "It''s called the arc reactor and the file I just sent you is about a giant version of it. It will be powerful enough to power the entire city." "Got it I will start building it." "Got it, I will come to check it out when I have time. I have to end the call since I got work to do." As soon as Marcus said so the quinjet turned upside down, performing an evasion maneuver to evade attack from the demons. "Goddamn it, they could have waited for me to put my armor on." After the plane stabilizes Marcus quickly puts on its armor. This time he was wearing the War Machine. As soon as Marcus flew out of the quinjet, it flew higher getting out of the battle zone. As Marcus flew closer to the battle the machine-gun on his shoulder started firing bullets and missiles, taking out demons. while he gets closer and closer to the ground, he performs a superhero landing. As he got up while all of his weapons came to life, his shoulder mountain gun, and his mountain wrist guns. He killed every demon that was on his path while firing a missile at them when they formed groups. While Marcus was enjoying himself, massacring the unlimited amounts of demons coming out of the portal he suddenly reserves an alarm from Jarvis. "Guest the league finally sent a magician. Can you get us in contact." "Yes Sir" After a few seconds, Jarvis finally manages to hack into the communication device of that person. "Who do I have the honor of talking to ?" Marcus asks. "Nice to meet you my name is Zatanna." Chapter 36 - Demons (part 2) Suddenly a portal appears next to Iron Man "So you are the famous Iron Man." "So you are the person the league sent for the portal?" "Yes," She responded while playing with her signature magical hat. " But it is seen that you have the situation in control "I''d like to say yes, but I have been going at it for a while but their number never decreases." "hmm, this portal seems troublesome." "Yeah," Marcus responds while he never stops killing demons, while also protecting her. "If you get me close enough, I can take care of the portal. ''He made the job easy for me, I don''t have to kill or call for backup, just have to close that stupid portal.'' With that, they team up. While Marcus was protecting her, she started to form his spell. While she was preparing the spell he was also observing Iron Man. She was impressed by Marcus. In this dark mechanical armor of his, he was killing demons better and more efficiently than anyone she ever partners with. He was holding the line of defense by himself never Letting any demon get close to her. While doing all of this he was still saving people, getting them out of there house and protecting them while there doing their escape. She had to give it to him; he was a one-man army. "Hmm, we got a problem." "What is it?" "I can close the portal but there is an abnormally huge amount of them that are going to get out before I manage to close the portal." "Can you do anything to stop them." "No, it''s already too late." "Guest, I have to take care of it myself," Marcus said he started preparing himself for the final fight. [Sir, the amount of ammo is less than 20%, it is recommended to restock] Jarvis announced through his helmet. Marcus almost running out of ammo wasn''t strange, since for the past hour he had been killing demons, none stop. With a loud sound, Marcus landed next to Zatanna. "Jarvis, you already know what to do." She suddenly hears him say in his classic Iron Man mechanical voice. ''Jarvis'' she thought [Sir the package will arrive in a few seconds.] Suddenly Zatanna heard a mechanical voice respond to Iron Man. ''So he even got an A.I.'' In a swooshing sound, a black mechanical box landed next to Marcus. "What is that," She asks him. " Ammo and more powerful weapons." "Ok" "Anyway, close the portal as soon as you can. Oh can make them draw to me" Like making you a bet Yes" "Ok... done." She said after finishing to cast her spell. As per our deal said you can leave the portal to me and when done I will go help out somewhere else.'' "Got it" As he said so the box that was as tall as himself split open and let him step in it. Immediately some mechanical arm stretches out, helping him reloading his armor and adjusting a giant cannon in his left hand. As soon as he was done, the building in front of him was destroyed as a wave of demons was frantically running toward him. "I close the portal. Good luck." With that Zatanna opens a portal and leaves, with the last thing she saw a group of demons running toward Iron Man. Who weapons were firing and the cannon in his hand charging. As Zatanna Left the cannon on his left-hand start gathering energy, turn redder and redder, all the while, the demon keeps running toward him. "That was alright," Marcus said as he looked at the destruction, then down at the melting cannon. [Sir, it would be better if you build your weapons with strong materials,] "I know it was just a prototype, I just wanted to test, it did pretty alright." With him finished playing around, Marcus got in action starting killing demons again. ==== An hour had already passed Marcus as Iron Man was walking through the city. The city was completely ruined, walking around he could see both demons and humans dead bodies. As he walks around his shoulder-mounted machine gun would fire, taking down any stray demon. There was also the quinjet flying overhead with its machine-gun fire every moment also killing demons. As he walks around, he keeps scanning around to detect heat sources, either human or demon. Detecting something he walks toward a house, kicks the door open, gaining the attention of the demons inside. ====== My name is Jennifer, Jennifer Walters so far I have for 20 years. Right now I was squatting in the corner of a bedroom with the only source of light, the fire of the city burning outside of the window. Right now I have given up on life. Yesterday I had hoped, but today it was completely crushed with today''s demon invention. You may ask why I mentioned hope in life previously? Because after I and my family came to visit the bird village of my mother, The village was attacked by terrorists. While I was captured, my family was killed, I was part of the group of people lucky enough to survive. They captured us and brought us to their base. I had previously heard about what they did with the young woman they captured. So obviously I was very scared. So scared that I already accept my fate. That even if I wanted to resist, I was too weak to do anything. Meaby If I had powers like those so-called superheroes I could have killed them and saved my parents. But all of this was just fantasy, I knew my fate. But that changed, with him dropping out of the sky. Destroying the base, their weapons and killing them. After all of this happens, I found an extended family who accepts me in their house. Although I was very sad about my parent''s death. I thought I had a second start in life but today there was a demon invention. And finally, now I was in a dark room and outside the door was a demon trying to get in. If I hadn''t blocked it, he would have gotten in already. But still, how could a door hold a demon back. The door was already starting to crack. With one last kick, the door broke apart and he pushed away whatever was blocking him, slowly moving toward her. She could see the demon looking at her with killing intent ready to move but at this moment she heard a strange sound and then a red flash, then the head of the demon was destroyed. After the corpse of the demon falls limply on the floor it reveals the War Machine with his hand extended out having fired a repulsor blast killing the demon. Even though the War Machine was different from the previous iron man armor they had the same style, they were basically the same. So upon recognizing him as the same person who had saved her previously she felt safe and relieved so she started crying knowing that she was saved. "Let''s go." I suddenly heard Iron Man''s voice, snapping me out of my crying. "Let''s go, I''m going to get you to safety." I quickly move in front of him and kneel "Please accept as your disciple. " "Family" "They die." "...Name" "Jennifer Walters" "Hmm, did you learn anything" "I went to law school" I responded with a puzzled face. "Follow me," He said as he turned around. Chapter 37 - Earth 2 (Part 1) Earth 2 Geneva, Switzerland. In the sky, two figure was flying overhead. It was Power Girl, flying holding a Huntress. Right now they were looking at all the destruction in shock. While doing so they found a Tv display 3 heroes. A new Superman, a new Batman and a lady in red. Anger by people taking the symbol of Superman and Batman in a fit of anger they flew to the location of those so-called heroes. As they flew away in the shadow of a destroyed building Grey and Gine were standing there watching them fly away. "Is there really someone stronger than us in this universe?" "Yeah, He also exists in our universe. It is just that fighting him here will have fewer consequences on us and bring us more benefits." "If you say so. I thought we were here to save the world, why not go with them?" Gine said, referencing to Power Girl and Huntress. " He could even come here sooner." Grey''s helmet retracted as he looked around. "I want them to struggle, for them to learn that they are stronger people than them." "Why?" "So I can take over this universe with less struggle" "So you''re going to let all of those people die." "No, in a few minutes from now Lucy will release a statement. If they accept it I will save them. The sooner the better." "Why do you want to take over this universe?" "I just want to know what I feel like, If it''s too much work I will just leave." Gine smiles, "I also want to know what it feels like to be on top of everything." She said tying her hair into a ponytail in preparation for the fight. " What is the plan" "We''re going to save Atlantis." As they were talking, around the world four boom tubes opened, releasing the furies of Apokolips. As Power Girl and Huntress had already met some of the world superheroes and in addition to this world Green Lantern, they teamed up to face one of the furies that appeared before them calling herself K''li. As they face their new trait Batman suddenly receives a message from commander Khan, the leader of the world army, telling him that Jim Olson who has the power to access any technology around the world had discovered that there were three more of them around the world. Having heard that Batman put out a call, telling Hawkgirl, Doctor Fate and Aquawoman where to go while sending Green Lantern to Brazil. Just as he did so, Grey''s message was sent around the world. Announcing that he can stop Darkseid, stop their suffering, save the planet. But at a price. A few moments Later Aqua woman was swimming down to Atlantis getting she discovered that it was abnormally silent, continuing to explore the city. She found everyone in the middle of the city kneeling with their hand-bound in their back. Even though she didn''t know what happened, she was angered. Full of anger she swims toward them. It was at this moment she felt something wrap around her, She discovered that she couldn''t do anything, except watching in horror as she was dragged to the castle. As she got inside she saw that in the throne room that there was a banquet. On the table, there was a lot of Atlantis signature food, while more and more were being brought by some Atlanteans chefs. Look at the table, she could see Grey and Gine leisurely eating. "Who are you?" She yells out, gathering the attention of everyone in the room. With a wave of Grey hand, she was dragged to the seat in front of him. "The name is Grey" and he pointed at Gine. "Her name is Gine." After he said so. he started eating again. "What do you want? She said with anger clearly seen on her face." "Hmm¡­ I almost forget," Grey said as he stops eating. Taking out his phone he throws it in front of her, immediately a hologram was created, changing her surroundings. "Listen I want you to contact the commander and tell him that Atlantis has fallen and you''re going to release Atlantis secret weapons." "Why would I do so?" she said in defiance, all the while struggling to escape grey''s control. Grey didn''t feel pleased with her defiance so he looked at her "I have saved your civilization that also means I can destroy it." After a brief pause, he started eating again and having felt Grey killing intent, She did as she was ordered. ===== Grey didn''t lie as he really saved her civilization. Moments ago when he just appeared in Atlantis the fury had already started her massacre. Seeing this Gine when super Saiyan flew out and punch her, immediately knocking her out. Before that Atlanteans could do anything, all of them those you were running away or the ones that were standing in shock were suddenly frozen in place as this was happening they saw Grey coming down toward the monster that was massacring he then proceeded to slap her. waking her. Upon waking up everyone could see after she came to her senses she tried to pounce on him for her to be bound in the same position as them. "W-what is happening she cried out." Listen we don''t have a lot of time." Grey said as he looked at her. He then proceeded to snap his figure and at the same moment, her eyes went wide. Suddenly Grey releases his energy at full strength suffocating her and her power. At the same time, Grey released a poison that infected her without her knowledge. " I know who you are martian. I know your past in your suffering." Grey proceeded to grab her by the neck while looking at her straight in the eyes. For her she could see inside his eyes was destruction, she felt suffocated and pressure, she felt weak, her power of death was like a joke to his vitality. She felt just killing intent that her death was scary. "I came here to kill your so-called leader. But before I do so there is some stuff I must do." Grey then proceed to look at her belly, Immediately she turns cold, fearing what is going to happen next, " When I release you are going to go back to your companion to speaking of anything that happens here" She didn''t know what when through her, but she asks him " and if I do" she said so will trembling" "Like I said I know your pass. I will kill you in the most pain full way you can imagine. of course, after I did the same to your child." "You dare," she said in rage. But she was immediately suppressed by Grey. "Oh, I''m not done. Here is the good stuff. I will make you relive the destruction of your planet, your death and most importantly your child''s both of them. I will make you relieve their death over and over and over. Do you get it" She nodded. "Great and if you do your job well I will even save you." Grey then releases her. " Now go to then and speak of nothing that happens here." Fearing for her life and most importantly for her child, she immediately swims away. Even forgetting to ask to want he means by saving her life. As she swam away she suddenly heard him " and your first child." As she went away, the kneeling Atlantis that didn''t pass out under Grey''s killing intent (even though they were only affected by a small faction" watch in shock trembling. "Will you really save her?" Gine asks. Immediately Grey killing intent and pressure disappeared. "Yeah...Do you feel hungry" He suddenly asked. ====== Having finished the call with the commander, Aquawoman watches the hologram disappear away only to see Grey eating with Gine eating even more than him. It was like their belly had no limit. After a few moments of silence, she tries to initiate the conversation. "What do you want me to do now.?" Grey stops and looks at her like she was dumb "of course release Atlantis secret weapon, the avatar of Water Azathoth." Chapter 38 - Demons (Part 3) As they got out of the house, she could see all the destruction around the city. Suddenly a bright light shines over her as she sees the quinjet flying down and landing in front of them, in the middle of the street. "Are we living?" "Yeah" "What about the rest of the demon?" She asks concern. "The cleanup team will take care of it." ''Cleanup team.'' As she got in, she could see the beauty of the plane. After setting one of the sets, the Quinjet finally took off. Where are going" She asked confused. Although she pleaded him to help her become strong by taking her as his sidekick, she thought that he would have ignored her. But now it seems that he is going to do it. You said you want to become stronger Not sure why Marcus was asking she still answer "Yes" At any price "...Yes," still confused, she answered after thinking about what Marcus said. Your word" With that Marcus grab her head and set it to the side. He then proceeded to take out a futuristic-looking syringe and inject something in her neck. While he was doing so she didn''t even struggle. Knowing that she had chosen a new path in life. "What was that?" she asks feebly. Suddenly the War Machine opens and Marcus steps out of it. "Nano-machines. They are very useful and they also have a lot of functions. For example, they can tell me when someone is lying, their location and most importantly explode if necessary. Upon hearing the last part she got scared "Don''t worry, it''s just a precaution. Anyway, we''re going to¡­" "Sir" suddenly Marcus was interrupted by Jarvis "There is a call for you" "Accept it." Immediately Marcus heard a frantic voice in his earpiece. "I will be there soon" after saying those words, he hung up. "¡­ Fuck I thought I was done with this. Jarvis changes our destination to this coordinate." As he said those words he moved to the back of the quinjet and pressed on one of the walls, revealing another iron man armor, this time it was Shotgun. The quinjet had up to four armor in it as back up and Shotgun is one of them. Marcus had decided to put it in because of his speed. This armor was an upgrade version on the previous one and it was the fastest iron man. The Previous version could go up to Mach 8.8 But the update version could a terrifying speed of up to Mach 10. Jennifer watches after Marcus takes the call he curses then yells out an order, he then proceeds to put on another armor, which is different from the previous one. She saw him jump out of the jet and with a loud sound that resembles a shotgun he flew away at ludicrous speed. Upon hearing the clicking sound of the War Machine closing she sap out of her daze. She stops looking out of the window and stairs at the war Machine. "I-is anyone here?" She asks scared and in doubt. "Is mist in need of anything" She suddenly heard a polite and Mature voice like a butler respond to her and that voice was coming out of the War Machine "Who are you?" She asked remembering that there was nobody else in the jet when she got in. "My name is Jarvis, I am an A.I," Jarvis said as he introduced himself. "A.I." She said in shock. Upon seeing her look Jarvis interpreted her shock for ignorance. He then proceeds to give a textbook definition of A.i. "So where are we going?" she asks curiously "Sir had received a message demanding his help." "More demons?" "Yes" "And we''re also flying there?" "Yes." ==== Martian Manhunter was in the watchtower coordinating the league to stop the invasion. While he was doing so he received an alarm that something appeared on their radar. He had reserved the alarm because of the sudden appearance and the ludicrous speed it was flying. Looking at the direction it was going he immediately identifies it as the position of Zatanna. He suddenly remembered a few seconds ago that a team of leaguers was fighting at Las Vegas and that a powerful demon had appeared and that they don''t have any heavy hitter, but sadly all the order leaguers were occupied with their own demon to fight. But suddenly he had received a message from Zatanna telling him that she had already called for backup. Seeing at the speed it was flying Martian calls Zatanna telling her that her backup will be there in a few minutes. ====== On Zatanna side Right now she and her team consisting of her, Black Canary and Green Arrow. Right now they are moving through the city killing the demons and helping people evacuate. "Hold on tight backup should arrive soon," Zatanna told her team. Who''s going to be our backup" Green Arrow asks all the while firing an arrow nonstop while traveling on the rooftop, covering escaping people. "Iron Man" "You''re talking about the poster child of Grey industries." Black Canary said with a lack of respect. Yeah, but I actually met him." She said while dodging to the side to evade an attack of one of the demons, whose head was immediately pierced by an arrow, killing it. "What do you mean." Green Arrow asks "He had made a deal with the League, which had him taking down all the demons from one of the portals by himself." "Not bad for a newbie." "Could you do it?" "..." "Watch out!" Black Canary cries out while pushing Zatanna away dodging the foot of a giant demon. "Damn, he catches up." Green arrow said as we were about to fire arrows, even though he knew that it wasn''t going to work. While Zatanna was ready to fire her spell and Black Canary ready to yell out her iconic canary cry. "Head up" they suddenly heard a mechanical voice. Then suddenly the demon was hit by a bunch of missiles throwing the demon off balance, causing it to fall, as Marcus landed in front of the Zatanna team with a superhero landing. Chapter 39 - Demons (Part 4) "Boom" With a huge explosion Marcus was Blasted out of the building, going through a building, landed heavily on the ground and finally, he hit a car. Finally stopping him. "I thought he was stronger," Arrow said sarcastically while trying to hold the normal demons back. "Relax," Marcus said as he got up. "This armor is built mostly for speed. I use it to get here as soon as possible to help you guys out. A more appropriate armor should arrive soon." As he said so he had to fly up to evade the punch of the giant demon. He then proceeded to fire both of his repulsors at the demon''s face trying to distract him. With the rest of the team backing him up. Right now the city is in flames, everyone has been evacuated and the demons kill only leaving the Giant one to kill. But right now they were struggling to keep him contained. Suddenly while they were fighting the demon suddenly gained a boost of strength. With a sweep of his hand, he sent Marcus flying down and then proceeded to step on him. But at the final moment, Iron Man manage to fly out of the crater. "We really are losing this fight," Arrow said as he zipline, followed by Black Canary and Zatanna teleporting next to him, next to Marcus. who right now was half-kneeling on the ground holding his right arm. "Not anymore," Marcus said as he got up. "I am going to make him pay for breaking my arm." With that suddenly the demon that was in the distance rampaging was hit by a barrage of missiles, enveloping him in flame. As the flame cleared up, the demon was suddenly uppercut by two armor at the same time, causing him to fall down. "I am going to finish this." Marcus then proceeded to fly toward the Demons who by now started to get up. Flying overhead the other Iron Man armor proceeded to form a circle around him With all of them powering their arc reactor. At the same time, they proceed to fire their unibeam. "Jarvis full power." And with that, a giant white light. As the light started to clear Green Arrow stopped covering his eyes and it took him a few seconds to get adjusted with it. "What the f**k was that." He asks in confusion. "I don''t know." Black Canary responded while still looking toward the direction of the explosion. "Let get closer" Zatanna still in a daze, not understanding what happened teleported them closer to the explosion. Appearing in the explosion radius they could clearly see the destruction and most importantly the dead body of the demon. Even though his lower body was relatively intact, his head was another story. "Separate we have to find him" with that they started search throughout the area for Iron Man. "I found something." Black Canary cried out. Hearing this, the rest of the team got to her location. Arriving there they find the first Iron man Armor Marcus uses. "That one of his armor, right?" Black Canary asks. "Yeah" "Eh, do you think he''s going to make me one if I ask." Green Arrow asks with simile Ignoring Green Arrow, Black Canary started speaking with Zatanna. "Seeing the state of this armor, which right now is in pieces, do you think he survived?" Zatanna asks. "I hope¡­" "Eh, guys look at this" Green Arrow interrupted them, pointing at the armor. When they look back at it they saw the pieces of the armor flying up and reforming the armor. After it was done ?ssembling the armor flew toward another direction. "Follow it," Black Canary said as she started running after the armor. After a few minutes of running the arrive at a surprising scene which was both Iron Man armor the previous one and the War Machine was furiously searching through building debris. "What are they doing," Zatanna asked confuse "I think they''re searching for him." "Should we help out?" Zatanna asks. "Yeah," Green Arrow said as he tries to get close. but immediately the machine gun of the War Machine turn toward him. "Nah let''s watch to see where this is going." After a few minutes of digging the Armor finally found the pass out Marcus inside the half-destroyed Shotgun who had no energy left. Even though the Shotgun was an armor of great speed to reach such a requirement there were a few sacrifices. Like it''s firepower, the huge amount of energy it uses and most importantly it likes defense. Which means that the armor wasn''t built for those types of fight. "Should we transport him to the league for treatment," Zatanna asks. Black Canary and Green Arrow were talking about it when they suddenly heard the sound of an engine. Looking up they saw the quinjet fly down. After it landed the Iron Man armor quickly proceeded to transport Marcus inside with the door closing after them. They placed Marcus on one the medical bed of the Quinjet and after a few seconds flew away at full speed. The team was left on the ground watching the quinjet flying away. "I think he got it," Green Arrow said. ======= Jennifer was inside of the Quinjet. For the past hour, they have been flying at full speed. Sometimes she watches the clouds going by or she looks at the passed out Marcus on the medical bed. "His he going the be alright," She asks, wary about Marcus. Yes "Have we been flying for a long time" "Yes" "So are we there yet?" "We should arrive in a few." Hearing Jarvis, she watched the sky in silence. Suddenly a few minutes later she saw a giant flying ship appear out of nowhere. After a few seconds, the Quinjet landed on top of it. The platform on which the jet stopped quickly started going underground. Stopping at its destination, the door of the quinjet opens immediately the medical bed levitated out of the quinjet. She was sitting there not knowing what to do when she suddenly heard Jarvis'' voice "Please follow '''' after hearing him it, she walked out of the quinjet following the Bed. She was immediately presented with a bustling environment with a lot of people moving around. "This is?" "This is the helicarrier, the HQ of Shield" Lucy announced as she walked next to her. Chapter 40 - Earth 2 (Part 2) -In Geneva- The team consisting of Power Girl, Huntress, Batman, Superman/Val-Zod and Red Tornado was planning for their new action. Sadly they just suffer a crushing loss in the hand of one of the fury. If it wasn''t for her having another Mission they would have been all death. Looking down at the firepit next to them, Batman informs them that they need to put a stop to this. With the team agreeing with him, Batman calls Green Lantern to tell him to protect the earth while they go in the fire pit. Green Lantern told him that he would do it, but he loses the fury he was supposed to fight, while also asking him about Aquawoman. ===== -Amazonia- Amazonia had turned into the world army HQ and right now it was under attack by Darkseid forces. Mr. Miracle who just got free from his cell by Big Barta and Fury ( the daughter of Wonder Woman and the New God Steppenwolf.)

Where Commander Khan decided to make a deal with him. His mother box for information on how to infiltrate Apocalypse. Telling everyone that the only option left for earth is to fight back with an invasion of their own. Although Mr. Miracle agrees with them, but he informs them that it wouldn''t work, that everyone in this earth is doomed, telling him that there is only one way to save the earth. to which Jimmy Olson enters with the Mother Box. ==== -In Brazil- Just as Green Lantern manages to relax out of nowhere Grundy, the avatar of grey came out of the ground ready to fight. ==== -Back at the world army base- Mr. Miracle returns to the group, telling them that no human can survive a trip to Apocalypse. Only for Sloan and Mister Terrific to tell him that they have some ideas, as they were the earth''s smartest people. ===== -The Firepit In Geneva.- The group was prepared to enter the pit but before they could get far, DeSaad grabs Huntress by the foot holding her on top of the hottest part of the pit. -Back in Brazil- The green Lantern began battling Grundy, but their fight was cut short with the green itself appearing telling them that they had to team up, all of them the green, the green, the red, the blue and the white to save the planet. ==== -Back at the Firepit- The team tries to save Huntress by DeSaad didn''t lose time jumping in the pit, no one dares follow him.

Telling everyone that they are going to finish this. As the team continues to descend in the firepit they discover something shocking. Superman who they taught was death. ==== While all of this was going on, in an underground tunnel Grey and Gine were being led by Aquawoman. While Grey and Gine were being chatty Aquawoman was quiet throughout the walk. Seeing that they were close to their objective she summoned the courage to ask them something. "Are you sure you want me to free him? H- he might kill all of us and even destroy the planet" Although she did know the power of Grey or Gine she knows of the power of the beast they told her to release. She fears it, she thought her warning might stop them but she was greeted by laughter from the bought of them. "I welcome anyone that can fight back," Gine said. " Don''t get excited, it''s powerful but not that much. You can fight it but don''t injure it, he has a fight later on." "Got it." Hearing them, Aquawoman tries to warn them again only for her to see Grey stop While looking up in a certain direction. "Sorry ladies but have to deal with some stuff." and with that, he teleported away. "That was magic," Aquawoman said faintly, as she identifies the energy he uses. She also felt her restraint going away. "Yeah" She heard Gine respond to her. "Do you also know who uses magic?" She asks Gine. Gine smiles "Don''t think of escaping in terms of danger, I am much worse than him and by that I mean I have less control than him." Gine said as she released a portion of her ki pressuring Aquawoman. As they keep walking they reach the end of it. In the end, there was a bunch of corp laying around in front of a huge door. "So it is inside?" "Yes but..." Before Aquawoman could say anything she was pushed away by the sudden release of Gine ki, as she dashed toward the Gate and punched it. ==== -Firepit- Lois Lane who on this earth was now Red Tornado was trying to figure out what had happened to superman, the rest of the group continue to explore the chamber the discover that they were cloning Superman, that the one the found was a clone, that there was a lot of superman clone in the next room. -Meanwhile In DeSaad''s lab.- Huntress wakes up, only to discover that she was bound by DeSaad. He then proceeds to tell her he has a gift for her. In defiance, she told him that Wayne doesn''t break But he told her not to worry, that she won''t be a Wayne for much longer. As she starts looking around the room tears started gathering in her eyes as she sees corpses torn in two and wires hanging out of them. ==== -Chicago refugee camp- Dick and Barbara Grayson are trying to fend off the scavengers trying to get to the rations when someone steps up introducing himself as Ted Grant. ==== -Amazonia world Army Base- Everyone there suddenly begins to feel hungry and fate as the power of famine arrives at their location. This causes every normal person to get skinny and fragile. Mr. Miracle realizes that their base has just been discovered. In anger he holds up his mother box to declare war on apocalypse, But then the mother box teleports itself into the hands of Jimmy Olsen the tech genius and at that moment the wall was ripped open as Dr. Fate landed in front of Jimmy and the Mother Box, with the power of famine he previously absorbed killing everyone around him.

But Power Girls gets mad at him for even having Kryptonite and in response to his drug-addled anger, Val Zod melts the rest of his drugs. ==== -Amazonia- Getting inside Dr. Fate walks in front of Jimmy. He then proceeds to lean in taping his helmet against the mother box. Suddenly there is a massive expulsion of power and then it seems to go in Jimmy Olson but at that precise moment, Grey dropped a nanochip inside him. The scientist that was there immediately recognized that the helmet of Naboo must be another form of the mother box and that it just procreated with another mother box. That Jimmy is being transformed. ==== -World army ?ssault team- Right now, they were on a spaceship intending to meet apocalypse halfway as the plane was flying toward earth. But suddenly they lose the planet from their radars only to have it boom tube onto the moon shattering it. Previously they thought that they had close to a month until apocalypse arrived but now they have mere hours. Pieces of the moon begin to fall to the planet''s surface and realizing that he is the only one that could stop them, the Green Lantern flies into space to block what he can. While telling Sam (who is the avatar of white and his previous lover) and Grundy to find the avatar of blue. ==== While all of this was happening Jimmy was becoming something totally new and no one knows what he''s becoming but at least the famine powers have vanished. As Khalid the wielder of the helmet of Fate came to his senses, he tells Jimmy that he left Hawkgirl and flash in trouble. Much of the world army begins to recover from their starvation but over their heads, they begin to see the meteors from the moon come crashing down towards them, they realize it''s about to get even worse. And even worse around the world, the powers of the Furies begin to affect the human population.

It was the Avatar of Blue, the secret weapons of Atlantis, known as the strongest of the avatar and unknown by anyone he was escaping. ==== -Chicago- At this moment, the last train was about to leave the Chicago station. Because of this, a huge fight was taking place for the right to get on the train. You may ask why everyone wanted to get on this train. It was because one of the meteors had hit Lake Michigan and a tidal wave was coming toward the city of Chicago. Watching all of this happening was Constantine and his team. While they were looking at this happening they saw a redheaded woman fighting with the thugs trying to gain access to the train. Seeing this Constantine team asks if they should intervene. But he decides to see how it''s gonna play out. While Barbara was trying to climb on top of the train she was suddenly kicked by one of the thugs, throwing her down only to be caught by Dick. On her face she had a fierce look, deciding that no one is going to stop her from getting her son out of this doomed city. Getting back up she went back in the fight, sucker-punching one of the thugs. But as he falls he shoots her in the stomach.

Chapter 42 - Earth 2 (Part 4) Atlantic Right now both Aquawoman and Gine were back in the throne room. While Gine back at her sit eating and watch the Atlantean entertaining her with a show. Aquawoman was sitting next to her quietly. Deep down in her heart, she was in shock, she was thinking about what had happened in her mind. What happened could be explained in a few steps. 1. She destroyed the seal that was holding the avatar of blue, freeing him. 2. She proceeds to one punch him and scare him away. "I never ask but why are you guys here," Aquawoman asks with a serious face. Stopping eating Gine looks at her. " Here in the Atlantic or in this world?" "If you could answer both I will appreciate it." "Hmm, I think Grey wanted some subordinate." "You want us to become your subordinates." "We did save all of you. Plus you will find that being our subordinate is very advantageous. You got nothing to lose and everything to get." "...So why are guys on this earth" Stretching out her hand from the suit repulsor a hologram was produced, showing earth in its current state, with the pieces of the moon raining down on it and all. "This planet is doom to be conquered by Darkseid but luckily for you guys, we were in search of an opponent. "The hologram then switches showing Darkseid." Right now he is trapped and we''re just waiting for him to make the first move." "He is trapped?" "Yes, but not for long as you people are going to free him soon." "No, you can stop them and end-all of this." "True, but why should we do that? As I told you we came here to fight." New York City, World Army Refugee Stronghold. Flash a=had been running away from Hawkgirl for a while but he never manages to get very far from her.

But flash had Hawkgirls from harming his mother. Suddenly Dr. Fate and Jimmy Olsen arrive. Immediately Dr.Fate uses his power, turning all of the people''s rage into a thunderstorm so that it can fizzle out, clearing the minds of everyone, Hawkgirl included. ==== Apocalypse The World Army, Mr. Miracle, Big Barda, and Fury all charged in ready to attack. The first enemy they faced was Paternus, a giant multi-eyed purple head. "You are nothing more than a pawn, a son of two fathers," He said to Mr. Miracle. They immediately started fighting. In the middle of the fight, Mr.Miracle manages to remove the key that was in his forehead, infuriating him. So he breaks his whole body out of the planet. While Fury and Big Barda continue to fight with him Mr.Miracle takes the key and leaves. Reaching his destination he uses the key to open hole, leading to the center of the planet. Firepit After finding Superman Lois and Powergirl help him up. You see due to all the experiment and blood the drain out of him he had become weaker. But just as the group was talking to each other a window behind all of them shatters and there stands Huntress. But she had changed, she has wings, a wip and reverses jointed legs. Seeing this Batman step in front of the group "Helena" he said. ( Her name) She sneers "Not anymore" Powergirl jumps in, fighting with her former sister while Val Zod and Lois fly Batman and Superman out of the room. ==== Chicago Refugee Camp Dick Grayson stands up and he walks with the body of Barbara and his son to the train and informs the men who killed her that he will be leaving this place with the both of them. But a man pulls a gun on Dick, telling him that no dead body is leaving today. Suddenly the man can''t help himself as he puts the gun to his own forehead and pulls the trigger and with a bang, his body falls limply on the ground. John Constantine walks over introducing himself, telling everyone that that was him. He then gets his team to help beat down all of the gang members that started this. After the fight ended John helped get Dicks, son, on the train as there was no more space on the train. Had he given his son to John he yells out "I will find you again son." He then falls to his knees as the train leaves in tears with Barbara''s body next to him. ==== Apocalypse The tunnel took Mr. Miracle down to the center of the planet where he finally Darkseid himself. Darkseid doesn''t even move or respond to Mr. Miracle''s appearance. So in anger, Mr. Miracle declares that he will find a way to stop him. Darkseid smile. The rest of the world army sees Mr. Miracle coming back up the tunnel and he informs them that Darkseid is down there. So Mr. Terrific gives him a weapon that he created using the technology of the boom tubes, The Boom Spheres. Mr. Miracle proceed to bring them in the tunnel and surrounds Darkseid and his shield with them and then he declares that he is bringing Darkseid death before setting them off Out of the fire, Darkseid floats up smiling " No, my son you have given me my freedom HAHAHAHA" As he was free he immediately attacks Mr. Miracle while Big Barda turns on fury and her lover (Mr. Miracle) as she informs them that Darkseid will reward her well. Mr. Terrific and Sandman decide to get the hell out of there as fast as they can realizing that these are god''s fighting it out, that they don''t stand a chance. Mr. Miracle and Fury also begin to make a break for it as fast as they can. But Fury gets captured by Barda and it pains Miracle to leave her behind. But Darkseid survives, while Mr. Miracle was knocked out by the explosion and walked over to Fury, as She had managed to defeat Barda, informing her that she will join him or be annihilated.

Looking up he could see the tidal wave. But he discovers something strange. the wave wasn''t moving anymore, he then suddenly felt some weight on his shoulder. Looking next to him he saw Grey metallic figure standing next to him "Who are you?" Dick cries out as he tries to move away, only to discover that he couldn''t move away from his iron grip. "Relax, if my hand leaves your shoulder you will go back into normal time." "What do you mean?" Grey pointed at the wave " For example right now you will see everything around you frozen" "Looking around him Dick discovered that it was true "How are you doing that?" "Explanations are for another time. Right now have a deal for you." "What deal?" Dick asks cautiously. "Look at your wife," Grey told him, so he did so. "What am i supposed to see?" "Look closer." Looking at her more seriously he discovers something " What is that gray string?" When Dick looks at his wife he discovers that there was a string going from his wife to Grey. "The deal is that I will save your wife if you both work for me." "That''s it?" "What, do you want me to ask for more? Right now your life is crap, your wife is dead, you give your son to strangers and you don''t even know if you are going to survive, Your life is the only thing you got. What I am basically giving you is a sure way for you and your family to survive, all the while also giving you a job and a great future. "..." "We don''t have a lot of time." "Why us?" "Let say that from other timelines or universes you have a great resume. "I accept," Dick said even though he did know what will happen next. But he knew he had to save his wife. "Great" Grey declares. Suddenly Barbara''s body levitated from the ground and floated in front of them. Grey then proceeded to stretch his hand out, forming a ball of ki and letting her Body absorb it. After a brief moment, Dick saw the bullet extracted out of her than her body healed. "Can I talk to her?" "No, not right now." "When then?" "When all of this ends." "What do I do now?" "Go search for your son and speak to nobody about what happened here." And with that, Grey teleported away with Barbara, Leaving Dick stunned while he returned to normal time. ==== Terry Sloane and Commander Khan prepare to leave Apokolips But Commander Khan of the world army isn''t easily fooled.

So in extreme anger of his betrayal Khan punched Sloan across the face. ==== On Earth In preparation for the end of the earth, Major Sato of the world army was enacting a plan to move everyone into the subway tunnels of the cities using Flash, Hawkgirl, Dr. Fate, and Jimmy Olsen to lead the charge.

On Earth The tunnels have been clear and right now Major Sato was standing in a room with a tunnel leading down deeper in the earth, with the heroes around her. She was holding a box which she promptly opened, revealing a miniature Atom. She proceeds to drop him in the tunnel with the superheroes watch. He didn''t say much as he went down into that tunnel to the open cave system deep beneath the earth''s crust and Sato told him, "Godspeed Sarge." Once he got into the cave structure he grew as big as he could in that little small space, to push it further and make it larger, killing himself in his efforts. He made a place of hope, a place of refuge and it would be called Adams haven. Major Sato thanked him for his sacrifice and ordered him to rest in peace soldier ==== Apokolips While this was going on Khan was flying right into Darkseid''s tower and he was preparing to destroy himself and take out Darkseid hopefully but Darkseid who was standing on the balcony fire is Omega beams. His Omega beams went sideways taking out the ship. Darkseid didn''t even turn his head. Chapter 44 - Earth 2 (Part 6) Atom''s Haven The cave had turned into the earth''s primary bunker. After some preparation, the world army already started moving people in it. Major Sato who was in charge of the place suddenly got a call that she was now commander Sato as she watched the refugees of the earth coming down into Adams Haven. ==== Chicago Grayson looked on at the destruction and then decided it was time to find his son Johnny. He walked with Ted Grant for three hours until they reached the train station and that''s when they got the news from on the guard. The train had derailed. ==== Firepit The group continues to fight the red avatars until Val sees the real Red Avatar bound up and being used as the raw code for these clones and it''s her heat that is making up the fire pit. That she is the power source that they have been seeking. While the fight progresses Superman gets injured by one of the clones and he falls to the ground. He then tells Batman that they were using his blood in the pipes running it along this place to pump it into the creations that they made. He then asks him to give him a distraction because the blood in his body right now it''s a poison to all of these clones. So Batman breaks one of the pipes, taking some of the Kryptonian blood altered by apocalypse and he ejects himself with it. Instantly he feels the power. Charging in, he literally started throwing the red avatar clone aside. ==== On surface The avatars are failing and dying. So the Parliament decides that they need to give the avatar a boost of power, that they need to make them powerful. Receiving a boost of power the avatar got up, ready for another round. ==== Flash had an idea so he brought Hawkgirl with him to where they defeated the original fury of famine. As no one saw her body leaves, so maybe she''s there. That she can give them answers on how to stop the rest of the Furies. After reaching London and searching they finally found her body laid out on the rubble. ==== Apocalypse Mr. Miracle and Fury Sandman and Mr. Terrific are becoming overwhelmed by apocalypse armies. So Mr. Terrific has an idea to use the disks of power that Mr. Miracle flies on to protect them. Sandman sets off a massive bomb and using the power of the disks they all stand in the center seemingly dying but they were perfectly protected Later Barda reported to Darkseid that they are dead and he tells her to get back to earth and awaken the horde. ==== Meanwhile at The World Army''s headquarters. The Mother Box that is inside of Jimmy Olsen decides that it''s time to go back to its proper owner and it pulls itself out of jimmy. But as it informs Jimmy that he is now the source. Not a God, not a man but from now on Jimmy Olsen serves the very fabric of reality. Then the mother box rockets to Apocalypse. ==== London Flash and Hawkgirl see the creature that was the Fury of Famine and now she is in her right mind again. So she tells them that each member of the furies is the last of their races. Meaning that they all have weaknesses. With this information in hand Flash runs across the world to the Green Lantern, to let him know. The Fury of War is a Tamarin and she gets her power from ultraviolet lights. Green Lantern tells Sam to cover her, to shield her from the sunlight. Pestilence is a Czarnia and able to heal from almost any injury so Green Lantern tells the avatar of blue to fill her lungs with water. While the fury of Death is a Martian, meaning use fire. So Grundy smashes two rocks together creating a spark. It was working and all three of the Furies were dropping calling out for their sisters but they forgot about Huntress. She flings the avatar of blue into the fire, putting it out. Pestilence then shoots a black fluid of disease into Sam''s eye, stopping him and at that moment the parliament loses its power to aid them. They need the avatar of the red, they need to complete the Parliament. ==== Chicago Grayson is digging through the wreckage of the train calling out for Johnny as he didn''t when to lose for his son As he was searching he was suddenly attacked by a few thugs. After beating them up he realizes that there''s nobody there. So there is hope for his son. ==== Firepits Clark is so weak that the red avatar clones are actually ignoring him. So he crawls over to a device that will extract his blood and pump it into the clones poisoning them with his currently corrupt DNA. He sees this as one last moment to save everyone, one last chance to be a hero. It drives his needles into him poisoning all of the clones and using this chance Batman frees the real avatar of red. Everyone looks one as Lois and Powergirl cry as this time Clark Kent has actually died for real. Now free the avatar of red breathes fire on the ceiling and began to burrow her way out of the fire pits Lois can tell that she has started a chain reaction and while they''ve lost two of their friends to this mission it''s time to get out of here as they''ve won so everyone to begins to follow the red avatar out of the fire pits. ==== At the Surface The avatars are losing their battle as they are outnumbered. Suddenly the ground begins to crack and it begins to crack and it begins to break but the power of red pours through it as the avatar of red breaks through the ground, revealing herself, Batman Val Zod Lois and PowerGirl. All walked back up to the surface. Thankful to have survived the cost was high but now apocalypse can''t make any war parademons. It''s the biggest victory that they have won since the war started and while they know that this isn''t done Val Zod and PowerGirl take a moment to bury Superman. Chapter 45 - Earth 2 (Part 7) Mr. Miracle, Fury Sandman, and Mr. Terrific boom tube back to earth as their mission had failed. Everyone welcomes them back, Mr. Miracle explains to them that the mission was a failure,that they were betrayed By Barda and Sloan. But with everything that had happened, Jimmy has now become a part of the source itself and he tells them he found something interesting. Terry Sloan has a ship cloaked in space that can hold 100,000 people and it''s time for them to commandeer it and save who they can. ==== Back with Powergirl team Flash radios in, informing about the Furies and where they are. So everyone loads up and they head out. ==== Airspace over Russia. Hours Later. Lois grabs the Fury of Pestilence and since she is a robot the disease won''t affect her while Val Zod grabs war to offset her solar-powered ability. While this is happening Batman is flying a jet into the Fury of Death. But Huntress flies over tearing the wings off of his jet, luckily he jumps out of the jet. Green Lantern catches him while Powergirl tackles Huntress, they slammed into the ground so hard that she brings Huntress to the brink of death, tearing Apocalypses hold off her. With tears in her eyes, Power Girl realizes what she did and Huntress tries to say a few words " Darkseid won''t let you keep me" Powergirl began to cry even more. But this isn''t a time for mourning as the fury of Death has just given birth to the child that she''s been carrying this whole time. Batman rubs over to Huntress''s side. Being that he is her Grandfather and a surgeon he can''t allow her to die. While his drugs were destroyed earlier by Val Zod he has always carried a backup, The Venom drug. He injects her with it. Her heart begins to race and pump adrenaline as she snaps back to life. She begins to throw up whatever Desaad injected her with. The child of the fury of Death rips her open, as he rises into the air Shouting that it is the death spawn of apocalypse and then buries itself into the ground. Everyone wonders what just happened but the Green Lantern Knows it''s after the power of the Avatars the Parliament of Earth. ==== Firepit Barda was standing in front of Desaad asking him what his next plane was. Luckily for Apocalypse, he isn''t even close to done and proceeded to show her his proto Fury''s ==== The Flash and Hawkgirl are walking the original Fury of Famine to safety now that she isn''t under mind control but then she drops to the ground, dying telling them that the Furies had been defeated and their link to Apocalypse is gone. The Furies are all dead. While flash and Hawkgirl debate what to do with her Body the Proto Furies attack them. They radio Lois, telling her that the proto Furies are attacking the tramway, the Last bastion of human civilization and they need to get there fast. Using their speed, Powergirl Val-Zod and Lois all head off to fight against the proto Furies leaving Huntress and Batman there. They look over the destruction and Huntress thanks him for saving her life. Then as they head over to the world army outpost Jimmy calls up Batman, telling him one to find Oliver Queen. Bruce Wayne has a contingency and he gives it to Oliver and that he went missing. ==== Over at the Furies battlefield In a flash of lightning, Grey appeared next to the body of the Fury of Death. By now she should have been dead but he had kept her alive. Seeing Grey appear in a weak voice she asks him to save her. Grey walks next to her and then squatted next to her. With a thought, his helmet retracted, revealing his face. Grey smiled " Why should I save you?" "i did what you ask me to do" "So?" "WE HAD A DEAL" She yelled out. Smiling even, more Grey stood up " you kill millions of living beings in cold blood. What makes you think that you deserve my pity... Plus you are no use to me alive " Grey then brought his hand up, as the repulsor began to glow brighter and brighter. "No, you can''t we ha..." And with that she died. Grey then threw her body in his pocket dimension and teleported away. ==== Now with everyone feeling that they might win this war, Darkseid gets the report that the heroes have defiantly pushed back the armies of apocalypse and he decides it''s time for world end and unleash the terraformer. Everyone looks up, they see something happening, something terrifying Apocalypse''s newest weapon of war is literally hitting the entire planet with everything. They have unleashed their superweapons. Hawkgirl and Flash watch them send something down into the fire pits and then all the fire pits begin to look up. The Avatars all look on as they''ve realized they aren''t even close to save the planet. Then to make matters even worse they all drop in pain. The Death spawn has made its way to the Parliament of Earth and it is hurting them from the source of their powers. The Green Lantern screams into his ring to bring him to the parliament. He has teleported down, only to see the death spawn with Earth in its grasp. He begins to blast the creature with everything and then he jumps in giving it a solid punch but the death spawn catches him and throws him into Earth. He then slams into the ground trying to the core and if he does the earth is done. Green Lantern tries to stop him but he can''t and Death spawn creates a hole jumps into it. ==== Meanwhile Mr. Terrific team all load into a rocket aimed at Terry Sloan''s ship so that they secure it. ==== The entrance of Adam Haven Powergirl and Val-Zod and Lois all see the satellites of apocalypse appearing over their heads. The thing that is burning the ground around them and they take off to do what they can. That is when they quickly realize that these things are intended to tenderize the earth so that apocalypse can devour it. Chapter 46 - Earth 2 (Part 8) Meanwhile over in New York Batman and Huntress are getting dropped off at Terry Sloan''s old office, huntress figure that if anyone had the data as to where Bruce hid the failsafe it would be Terry Sloane. As they land they see the thing''s scorching the planet and they realize this is the end, that they can''t stop this. They walk inside and they hack into the computers pulling up the information and then have their ride come to a flyby so that they can escape the building just as it''s engulfed in the flames of Apocalypse. ==== Atom Haven Dick Grayson has finally arrived. He immediately started searching for his son. As he was searching he found one of the men that were there with Constantine. After a slight battle because Ted Grant wants some answers they explain that Brainwave has his son, that they will bring them to see him. ==== Endurance-Cockpit Mr. Miracle''s team managed to get in Terry Sloan''s spaceship. The heroes walk into the command center and they realize that the ship has been put on lockdown. so that no one can access it. That''s when Terry Sloan himself walks onto the command deck " You guys seem to have forgotten me on Apocalypse" Everyone turns in shock and calls him a traitor and then he explains that they need his help to escape or he''ll drop the dimensional camouflage keeping Apocalypse from finding them over with the Avatars The Avatars decides that they only have one option to pump the powers of every avatar into a single Avatar. They inform the Green Lantern that this means that he will lose Sam (White Avatar) forever. That there is no other option. It''s the planet Earth or his lover. So Alan (Green Lantern) says one final goodbye to Sam Grundy then fades away, giving his power to Alan and then Sam fades away giving his power, the white avatar also gives his power to him and the Red avatar gives Alan her abilities but since she is a human she softly lands on the surface of the planet. The Parliament all speak to Alan telling him to prepare for the ultimate conflict. ==== Powergirl, Val-Zod, and Lois were hovering over the earth looking at Apocalypse terraforming satellites and they realized they may not be able to stop this. But that''s not enough to keep them from fighting against it and they get back into action ==== Meanwhile They eventually find him and he is in shock to discover that Huntress was alive and since he knew her he decided to take a seat and explain what''s going on. Bruce''s last failsafe wasn''t a way to stop the invasion, it was a way to start over. He created a codex that contained the DNA coding of every living being on the planet. A way to start the planet from scratch. Bruce Wayne was the ultimate doomsday prepper. ==== Over at Adam Haven Major Sato gets an odd report, all of their escape ships are launching into the air and leaving without her approval. She calls up the wonders, Flash and Hawkgirl and she tells them to get back because if these ships leave everyone here will die because they can''t get off the planet. Suddenly one of her soldiers turns to her and states " Do not take back those ships that I commandeered. I intend to use them for their purpose and evacuate the planet." Major Sato knows this isn''t one of her soldiers and she asks who is controlling them. "Brainwave, I am the savior of the earth." ==== Grayson and Ted snuck into his area because they were looking for Grayson''s son, Johnny but as they find the location that they are all in and they find Johnny Brainwave begins to get into Ted and Grayson''s head. Brainwave then sands over the masses welcoming them to his flock as he will save them all. ==== USS Endurance Multiversal Escape Ship. Mr. Miracle tells Sloan to start the engines on the endurance, they''re going to leave once Major Sato gets the survivors on the ship. So Sloan turns on the ship and he aims it at the planet of Apocalypse. Mr. Miracle yells at him to stop this. The ship can save a lot of people, they can sacrifice it. Sloan smirks. I already did something, this is all part of my plan and the USS Endurance blows up as it collides with Apocalypse. ==== He rises into the sky and puts up the ultimate shield that he hopes can keep the terraforming back. He tries to shield the entire planet but he can feel it, the strain the earth is going through is breaking it apart, It won''t survive. ==== On the Surface Barda and Kalibak are tearing through the human race one by one, leading the charge of Darkseid troops when out of nowhere a blast of power hits the ground in front of them. Barda looks up to see Jimmy Olsen, the same one that used to be a tech wizard, now is merged with the power of the Mother Box. He removes Barda''s war armor instantly and then he is suddenly struck down by Kalibak. He then heads buds Jimmy''s so hard he spills his new blood, the blood of a new god and that''s when Kalibak realizes Jimmy has been changed and that he just defeated a god. ==== In Space Everyone watches as more portals begin to open and outcomes more endurance ships. Sloan explains that while an endurance escape ship was destroyed it wasn''t their escape ship the one that was destroyed was empty and the Terry Sloan''s of the multiverse built more Endurance, as an escape plan for whatever planet Darkseid decided to attack. ==== ==== Adam Haven Brainwave was going on a monologue as to what his plans are, a Batarang hits him in the head and Batman jumps in telling him to shut up forever as he buries brainwaves head into the ground. Grayson and Ted both see the Cavalry arriving and Grayson grabs the Batarang off the ground " This is cool!" All of the people are now free of Brainwaves'' mind control and they begin to run to the ship that is now parked in front of them. At that moment Grayson begin to panic again as he remembers his son, ==== The Green Lantern slams into the surface of the earth hard. His shield had failed and he couldn''t maintain his power. The Planet is dying and right next to him in another explosion Powergirl, Val-Zod and Lois landed next to him. He told them that he can slow down Apocalypse but he can''t stop it. Val-Zod told him a lot can happen in a few minutes. Chapter 47 - Earth 2 (Part 9 End) Barda begins demanding Kalibak to finish off Jimmy Olsen but Kalibak is done being treated like a child by Barda. She couldn''t even beat this boy and if Kalibak can beat a god then what is she without her armor? She is nothing. So he jumps in to take his fight to her. While they fight it out Jimmy gets back up and he creates a boom tube to carry all of the survivors back to Adams Haven. Barda seeing her only chance for survival makes a break for the boo, tube, jumping through it just as it closes up with Kalibak calling out to her Coward. She quickly grabs a disguise as she slips in among the other survivors where she eventually finds K''li the fury of War who managed survive who is also hiding amongst these survivors ==== Up in Space Val-Zod, PowerGirl, and Lois distract all of Apocalypse''s forces while the Green Lantern charges one final push and one final amount of power. He blows a hole into the terraformer, allowing sunlight to pour in and power the Kryptonians. Val-Zod flies like a comet into Darkseid''s planet landing right in Darkseid throne room. "Earth still has some fight left in it monster" He yelled. ==== Grayson and Ted have found Johnny with his journey to find his son complete now he was left to ask himself what next. But at that moment, in a white light, all three of them were teleported away "W-What just happened?" Grayson says as he looks around him. At that moment an Atlantian approached them, "Please follow me." "Why should we?" Ted asks. The Atlantian then looks at Grayson "I can bring you to your wife." while this was happening the escaped ship begins to lift off with Sato turning on the artillery to protect them, they have to escape the planet. ==== Apocalypse Val-Zod and Powergirl are beating on Darkseid forces but this is Darkseid. He throws Val-Zod aside while smacking Powergirl down. She informs Darkseid if he is looking for the Superman of Earth it is her and she uppercuts him While on the outside of the escape ships are in a battle for their lives as the forces of Apocalypse are trying to stop them they are blowing up in the sky, they are destroying their landing gear, they aren''t going to make it to the Endurance. Powergirl continues to fight with Darkseid but he hits her with his Omega Beams and then throws a knockout Val-Zod to earth. Luckily as he was falling he woke back up in time to see one of the ships crashing down. So he grabs it and makes sure that it lands safely before flying back into the battle. Darkseid is still all-powerful as he manages to defeat both of them and throws them down on earth and as he lands, he stomps on Val-Zod but this was enough time for the heroes to gather where Darkseid has landed and all of our remaining wonders arrived to battle Darkseid. While they keep pushing him back the Green Lantern is with everyone trying to get more ships to warp in and he''s tapping into the multiverse as they unlock the doors to the multiverse more and more doors open up and more and more Endurance ships appear, each built by another version of Sloan. all of the Endurance are empty and they''re ready to save the day they can possibly save everyone on the planet. But another effect is happening with the doors of the multiverse opening up all over the place the Green Lantern could feel the Power of Green from every earth. Overflowing with power, he joins the rest of the wonders in the battle against Darkseid. But Darkseid is still too much as he throws the Green Lantern. So he had a new plan, he heals all of the heroes, bringing all of them back into the fight. But this time they know that they can''t stop Darkseid in a head-on fight so the plan is to save as many survivors from the ships that crash-landed after they were under attack in the escape. They need to get those survivors to the Endurance space ships. Darkseid isn''t too concerned with the wonders. He has won and he continues to wreak the planet with his troops now that he''s down here. The Green Lantern isn''t done and as the spirit of Sam, his lover appears before him he explains that it is time for him to give in. He has ultimate power but he isn''t using it because he''s still clinging to his old self, he needs to give himself up to the power of Earth, he needs to lose himself in it. So the Green Lantern asks Sam if he will remember him if he does this. Sam tells him no he won''t remain. He doesn''t want to but he knows he has to, he can protect everyone, he can save everyone and he gives himself up to the power of the earth. ==== Meanwhile in Adam Haven Darkseid himself kicks the door open. He had arrived and it''s time for everyone to die. When out of nowhere the Green Lantern hit him with everything. Darkseid tries to blast him back but the Green Lantern holds a shield up to protect himself and with the power of every planet he is using he cracks Darkseid over the face. Now with the survivors of Earth gone, the Green Lantern, Val-Zod, Batman and Flash were left to confront Darkseid while the rest of the superhero was in space. At that moment something strange happens. All types of hologram screens appeared in space and inside the endurance. All showing the same thing. The superheroes left on earth about to get hit by Darkseid Omega beam. But just when it was about to hit in a flash of white Grey landed on the path of the Omega beam. Bringing his hands in front of him he created his most powerful force field. The Omega beam was so strong that on impact, it created a giant shock wave, while also pushing Grey back. Everyone only saw lightning collide with Darkseid Omega beam, then an explosion, then a cloud of dust. As the dust cleared away everyone was greeted with a grey armor, with a green cape floating in the wind. Chapter 48 - Darkseid (Part 1) But they didn''t have enough time to admire him as a huge explosion gathered everyone''s attention, the hologram switch view showing the planet which was surrounded by Darkseid terraformers and one by one they were being destroyed by a Green blur. Sometimes the green blur would throw green balls that on impact would cause a grow larger then cause a giant explosion. Still traveling a blur of green light the figure flow down toward the earth, to the battlefield In an explosion, the blur collides with the ground. Suddenly the dust cloud was pushed away revealing Gine. "Why are you here, it''s already too late," Power Girl said with deep anger as she looked at the hologram screen. "Do You know them?" Batman asks, having heard Powergirl from his earpiece. "They are the one that brought us here," She said all the while looking at them angrily "We each had our goal," Grey said, having hacked their communication line while also broadcasting their conversation for the world to hear. "Your''s was to save your plane and as I can see you failed." "You could have helped." She said almost ready to fly out of the spaceship to confront him if she wasn''t being held back by her team. While she didn''t know a lot about Grey and Gine she knew that they were stronger than her. "This is where you are wrong. We came here to fight with him." Grey said as he turns around looking at Darkseid Angered by Grey, Powergirl decided to taunt him "You think you can stop him, even with all of us we couldn''t." "Watch and learn." "You think you can stop Darkseid," Darkseid said in a deep voice To which Grey didn''t say anything and proceeded to fire a repulsor blast at his face. Of course, it didn''t do anything but made Darkseid angry. In response, Darkseid proceeded to fire his signature omega beam. The team who were behind him saw that they proceeded to get out of the way while warning Grey to be careful. But Grey didn''t bother with them and only put his right in front of him. On impact, a bright light blinded everyone while a smoke cloud was created, As the smoke cleared and everyone regained there to view the watch in amazed that Grey was only pushed with no injuries. Even Darkseid was surprised as it was very rare to survive his Omega Beams and Grey survived it twice. "You better watch out!" Grey''s voice suddenly resounded throughout the area. Which prompt everyone to look toward Darkseid only to see Gine appearing in front of him and punch out with such ferocity that it created a shock wave as Darkseid was send flying, As the smoke cleared everyone watched Darkseid get up with no visible injury, to which Gine proceeded to smile and crack knuckle as she announced. " You are tuff one, this is going to be exciting." And at the same time, they proceed to dash at each other, both punching. On impact, Gine was sent flying back. Grey had to evade her as he approached Darkseid, arriving in front of him he jumped, as Darkseid was taller than him and punched him in the face to which he had no reaction too. He then proceeded to grab him by the arm then punch him, sending him flying back. As Marcus got up he looks at Gine who landed next to him " He is strong right" Gine nobbed, smiling ready to fight ==== A few minutes later The team was watching as both Grey and Gine were getting dominated by Darkseid. "They doing better than use," The Flash said joking "But they still losing," Batman said "Should we go help?" Powergirl asks who by now had flown down to earth. At that moment there is a loud explosion as trow grey at and Gine then fire is Omega beam. "Darkseid is not entertained," Darkseid said as he turns around ready to call is minion to take care of the rest "Hahaha" A maniacal laughter resounded through the area " oh, you are not leaving, we just started" Gine announced as the smoke around was pushed away revealing her standing in the middle with rock flying strangely around her and then crumbling strangely. Gine when Super Saiyan. The team and Darkseid who promptly turned around feeling the amount of energy she had released saw Gine air changing from silver to Green. "It seems that we have some company," Grey said as he strangely appeared next to Gine in a flash of blue. Suddenly dark clouds started gathering the sky completely covering in. The only light source anyone could find was the incessant flash of lightning from the cloud which also created a loud noise. Suddenly lightning of all types of size started raining down like rain. Strangely the lightning rain evades the superheroes and Gine while those that landed on either Grey or Darkseid didn''t affect them. But Grey did make use of this technique to affect Darkseid but to hurt or kill Darkseid forces. As if the lighting had a mind of its own it would adjust the size and power of the lightning when targeting a specific group of Darkseid forces. For example, the lightning targeting the Parademons was different from those targeting the Proto-furies as they were weaker. "I guess it''s time for round two" Gine announce while dashing toward Darkseid who immediately fire is omega beam only to have Grey appear Infront of Gine in a flash of lightning blocking it. Gine went by and arrived in front of Darkseid they both punch. On impact a giant shock wave was created, pushing the cloud away, creating a giant crater where they stood but it didn''t stop there as they kept punching at each other. With every impact, a shock wave is created. Not wanting to be left out Grey also jumps in the fight. Now with the both of them teaming up Darkseid discovers that he couldn''t keep up. Getting enraged with a swap of his hand he sends Gine flying. Seeing this Grey tries to take control of the situation. Coating his fist in both Ki and Lightning he tries to punch Darkseid only for him to catch it. Before Grey could do anything Darkseid fist was already in front of his face. Receiving Darkseid punch Grey was still standing up as his shield manages to block it but it wasn''t the end as Darkseid second punch broke his shield landing on his armor, the third on crack his helmet while also bringing Grey to his knee and finally as Grey manages to look up he was hit with Darkseid full power Omega beam resulting in a huge explosion While Gine and Darkseid were engaged in a fistfight the rest of the superheroes left on earth ran toward the crater and in the middle of it was Grey. Right now his cape was half burned while his armor had cracked all over and with half of his helmet destroyed revealing his burnt skin. Chapter 49 - Darkseid (Part 2) "Is he alive?" The Flash asks his teammate but the one who answers him wasn''t them but Grey. "Yes" "Do you need help?" Green Lantern offers him. "No," Grey said as his skin started healing. "Listen if we team up we might be able to defeat him," Powergirl said as she landed next to the heroes "I don''t need your help" "You already lost, you had your ?ss ended by him. you can see that you have no chance of winning..." Powergirl started yelling "Hahaha" Grey suddenly started laughing. All the time they were talking Grey was just looking at the sky now he turns his head looking at the superhero " You guy better step back." As he said so in a huge explosion Gine landed not far away from them. "Listen if we work togeth..." Powergirl sentence was cut by Grey "Shut up" He yells "Gine" He calls out in a gentle voice. Immediately Gine appeared in front of the group of hero What "Sit this one out." "What even with you working together you were already losing" Powergirl kept talking in the back. "Sure, I was getting bored already, I thought he would have been a challenge the way you hip him up." The group of the Heroes and the people watching were left flabbergasted; What type of people were clearly losing but still thought they could win. "Yeah, that was my fault" Immediately after he said so lightning landed on him. As the light fades away it reveals a completely healed Grey, both his cape and armor fixed. Darkseid who saw Grey standing saw it as a provocation. Full of rage he flew at his fastest speed toward Grey but he also did the same, in a blurt of blue lightning Grey ran toward Darkseid. Reaching each other Darkseid punches but Grey dodge it while uppercutting him. Even though he was shocked both in the fact that now grey was faster and stronger than before he managed to stop his fly but before he could do anything he was hit by a giant lightning strike, sending him flying back down Getting up from the crater he created Grey was already standing in front of him. " You recommend that you give up, you have to chance of winning" Enraged by the fact that a lowly mortal shows pity toward him, Darkseid punches toward Grey. But in a blurt of light Grey was already behind him "I seem that I have to prove my superiority.'' Hearing Grey voice behind him Darkseid turns around wanting to hit Grey but in that brief moment, Grey concentrates on Ki, his lightning and the power stone he created a blade around his hand. With this blade, he cut one of Darkseid''s arms. But Darkseid wasn''t a joke, even though he lost his arm he still had the mind to throw a punch. But Grey was already far away. "Give up" "You dare humiliate Darkseid," He said in his deep voice as he then proceeds to attack Grey with him, keeping his distance away from Darkseid. But with every punch, Darkseid was getting more enraged while with every punch dodge Grey was getting frustrated. "Enough" he yells while pushing Darkseid away with a ki blast "So be it, if you are not going to give up it''s your death." Suddenly Grey''s upper armor turns into a liquid, detaches itself from him, turning into a grey ball in the air while his helmet changes into a silver mask. Through his years he spent sparring with Gine even though they fought a lot pushing each other to get stronger and to develop new techniques. Grey mostly uses tech or tactic to match Gine. But fighting with Darkseid Grey saw it as a way to go all out. So he wasn''t about to use tech or tactics. So he pushed his power to the max. In a huge lightning strike, Grey grew taller and became more buff with the power of his ki, while he turned into lightning with his skin turning blue and lightning crackling all around him. "Let see for along you can confront my full might," Not wanting to be outdone Darkseid fired his Omega beam but Grey did do anything and kept walking toward him. The Omega dean hit Grey with its full might but Grey wasn''t affected by it with his ki and lightning shield. In a student burst of speed, Grey appeared in front of him, through his years of experience, Darkseid immediately punches only to discover that his arm when through Grey "Like I said no holding back" Placing his palm inform of Darkseid ?h?st, he fires a ki blast, sending Darkseid flying back. Just as an angry Darkseid manages to get up, he gets hit by a lightning strike forcing him back to the ground. But Darkseid didn''t give up so easily. As soon as he stood up a lightning strike was already coming down on him but he fires his Omega Beam blocking it but as he did so he receive a punch from Grey but this he was prepared, he immediately counter but his fist when to Grey not even affecting him while he receives a massive electroshock. "This is just bullying at this point." Teleporting away Grey appeared in the sky, "Let finish this" He announces as he brings his hand together and starts gathering his powers. While Darkseid was a prideful being he knew that he was over his head and even though he didn''t want to he knew he had to escape to survive. At first, he questions whether to leave or stay. But upon feeling the amount of energy Grey was gathering he made up his mind. So he activates his boom tube, immediately walking through it. But as he disappears and the boom tube close behind him a Boom tube opens not far away in which Darkseid walks out "What?" He yelled out. Of course, he tried a few more times but there was the same result. You see Grey had infected Mr. Miracle Mother box for two reasons and one of them was to understand it with the goal of being able to hack them and right now he was doing just that, having hacked Darkseid Mother Box stopping him from living. While it took a minute for Darkseid to come to the realization that he couldn''t leave, it was enough time for Grey to finish gathering his energy. Pulling his hand away Grey formed a Grey spear with Lightning flashing all around it " Let see if you can survive this Grey announced as he threw the spear. Chapter 50 - Darkseid (Part 3) Darkseid knowing full well that he couldn''t Boom Tube chose to do the next best thing, getting out of the way of the Spear, only to discover that he was locked in place. He could only watch in despair as the spare approached him. In that moment of despair, Gine appears behind him. Release her Ki at full strength Gine when Super Saiyan, Growing in size, her hair going a shade of Green while her eyes went white. Concentrating her ki in his hand she stabs him in the ?h?st, her ki traveling all over his body damaging him from the inside out, killing him. As his lifeless body fell on the ground she kicked it away. Using her full might she deflected Grey spear., Sending it to fly in the sky. Even though the spear wasn''t in the path of any of the Spaceship some of the stray lightning manage to damage some of them. Going by the ships and by Mars, the spear collided directly with Jupiter. Even from Earth, everyone could see the explosion in the distance. "Oh, I see where I went wrong,'''' Grey said as he looked at the explosion. Looking back at Gine " Thank for deflecting it, I go to into it." Going back into her normal form, Gine smirk" I always thought out of the two of us you had more awareness of your surroundings." "Yeah, I should be more aware of my surroundings." "No joke, you almost destroyed the planet." "I got it the first time you don''t need to bring it up ag¡­" Grey had to stop his sentence as he felt a massive power as he was overcome by a shadow. Looking up Grey could see a giant hand coming out of a giant Boom Tube" "ahh, Shit" "What is going on?" Gine asks while looking at the giant hand coming toward Earth. "Something we don''t want to deal with right now" as he said so Grey flew into space, in the direct path of Darkseid''s hand. Stopping in the middle of Earth and the Darkseid hand. As he floated in space all over his body magic tattoos started appearing and all of them started moving to his left hand, reaching his fingertips they all fuse forming a massive magic circle in front of him. Suddenly the skin of his left arm melted away revealing his metal arm, as the skin couldn''t, sustain the amount of power that was traveling through his arm to the magic circle. Applying his power the magic circle grew bigger and applied it to Darkseid''s hands, But Darkseid wasn''t a joke, with a push Grey spell completely broke.In that split second Grey realized something, that this Avatar of Darkseid was way stronger than the previous one, even stronger than him. "So be it," Grey said as he decided to truly test his limits. Removing whatever limit he was putting on himself Grey poor every ounce of his energy but that wasn''t going all out as multiple portals opened behind him. Out of them came out multiple tubes that connect with his metal arm. Those tubes were pumping Grey with energy, this was his back up plan which was a huge pool of energy he had been gathering over the years. ''Lucy a little help please!'' ''I thought you will never ask.'' Suddenly all of the spaceships started moving, flying at full speed away, distancing from both Grey and Darkseid''s hand. As this was happening the ball of silver Grey had left floating down on earth started shifting around and suddenly it flew up. It was flying so fast that it turned into a silver line. It flew out of the planet atmosphere, past Grey, and stopped behind the Boom tube. As it stopped the ball started shifting even more furiously until it opened, revealing a black hole. Not like a hole that was black but a Blackhole the type that su?k?d everything in. Anyway, the black hole started growing bigger and bigger. ''Can you watch out, I don''t need the planet to be more damaged than it is. Sadly as Grey didn''t want to damage the planet further he had Lucy contain it, meaning limiting its power. "I am not going to let you have all the fun," Gine announced as she went Super Saiyan and flew straight toward Darkseid''s hand. "No stary back" Grey yells, but Gine ignores his warning as she continues to fly. You see Grey knew something that Gine didn''t. He understands that Darkseid''s goal was Gine, as she was the one that killed his avatar she had gained Darkseid attention and if she got closer he might just grab her and leave. Grey was determined not to let this happen so he decided to make full use of her weakness. Pointing his right hand toward her he fired a small lightning strike toward her, directly hitting her tail. At that moment Gine felt powerless and before she could even react a boom tube opened next to her su?k?n? her in. Having learned how to hack a Mother Box also means knowing how to open a boom tube. Now having to take care of Gine, Grey focus back toward Darkseid''s hand. Now using his full might and even his backup Grey created an even bigger and brighter magic circle. Using his full strength he blasted Darkseid''s hand but it wasn''t enough as Darkseid''s hand was still moving forward. As this was happening, portals started open all round Darkseid hand release all types of chain, metal, magical, etc wrapping around his finger to pull it back but that still wasn''t enough. This in response pushed Grey to use his trump card. The palm of his hand started to light up revealing a purple light as Grey decided to make full use of the power stone. The magic circle that was originally green turned purple as it took it over. Now having his power multiply, Grey wanted to go all out. Now power by the time stone the Magic circle changes turned into a massive ball of purple energy. Upon contact with Darkseid palm, a huge explosion took place resulting in a blinding purple light. As the light fades away, it reveals a sky free of Darkseid but one with a black hole which right now was limited enough to not pull the planet but it was powerful enough to start pulling an unconscious Grey. Lucy tries to take control of Grey''s armor but she discovers that it only had enough energy to run the life support system. so she immediately took action, closing the black hole but now Grey was left floating in space. "Lucy" Gine suddenly yell. Not wanting to anger an already angry Gine, she frees her. Not even taking a moment of hesitation she blasted off the planet flying toward Grey. Chapter 51 - Taking over After a second of flying at full speed, she finally reached him. Grabbing him by the arm she pulled him closer, forming a Ki cocoon around them. Immediately after she turned around and flew back to earth as the little amount of energy his armor had left was quickly running out. After landing next to Lucy, she gently placed him on the ground. "Don''t just stand there, do something." "You know that he is alright" "Do something!" "Ok ok," Lucy said as she walked next to Grey. She proceeded to place her hand on top of his ?h?st and release a huge amount of electricity. Then in a sudden flash of light Grey disappears, appearing a few feet away from them. "Why did you do that ?" Grey said as he looked at the burning mark on the ?h?st plate of his armor. "Like I tell you he is alright." "At least I was more worried about his well being than you." "I knew he wasn''t going to die that easily" "Yeah, yeah I will remember this by the way. Bring the ship down" He said as he ripped apart his armor, dropping the piece on the ground cracking it. "Sir, yes sir" "While you do so Gine and ... oh we have companies" No far from them the heroes landed. "If it isn''t my old friend Powergirl, Huntress, and some new acquaintances. "I thought you were here to help." Huntress yell "You could have stopped all of this." "As he said before we were here for the fight even though he had most of the fun." "Yeah, like she said. By the way, I better inform you of this now. We are taking this planet and its inhabitants over." "You, what," Batman said as he stepped forward. "Unlike Darkseid, we are not killing the people or destroying the planet. Better us than Darkseid. "That wasn''t part of the deal" Huntress yelled. "The deal was that we bring you here and help you save the planet>" "But now ¡­" "And we did just that. You never ask if we were going to take his place." "We cannot let you do this." "So you think we care about your approval." "You want to enslave the people of this planet." ''" yeah, but not really." "I am not going to let this happen," The Green Lantern said as he slowly started to floating with green energy surrounding him "So what do you want to fight us?" Grey said smiling, seeming excited about the fight. Seeing this Batman squinted his eyes "They are weakened by their previous fight" He whispered. "This is the best time to fight them." "Having heard him, Powergirl knew that their fight was unavoidable. It was true that they were weakened as Grey had spent all his power and even lost his armor. So eyes turning red she looked straight at Grey " Back down or we will have to fight." "So it''s a fight." "Do I have to stay for it?" Lucy said, seeming annoyed by it. "No, I can take care of them." "What about me?" "They are not your opponent but I got a job especially for you. Lucy will give you the information." "Better be challenging." With that, both Lucy and Gine departed. "Oh, don''t worry about them. You guys are going to have to go through me first, as an incentive, if you manage to defeat me we will stop our takeover. What about it?" "Your words'''' Huntress announced as she fired an arrow at him. Inches away from his face, he grabs it then throws it back at her. Seeing this he brings his hand up blocking it as he looks away from the red light he was suddenly tackled into the ground by Powergirl creating a crater. She then dragged him across the floor living a huge gash behind. Placing his hand on Powergirl he electrocuted her, paralyzing her for a brief second taking advantage of this she got loose from her. Grabbing her by the arm he then spun her around then threw her away. As he stood, admiring his work, Val-Zod landed next to him and threw a punch. Only for him to discover that it went straight through. "What!!" "Oh yeah, physical damage doesn''t work" He then blasted Val-Zod away with a powerful Ki blast. But out of nowhere, he was su?k?d into a tornado. Flexing his ki, disrupting the tornado causing it to fade away, sadly as soon as he says so he was tackled by both Kryptonian. But as they were about to reach the ground Val-Zob was struck down by a lightning strike while Grey turned into lightning appearing behind Powergirl and smashed her into the ground. As he got up and was about to attack her a fist when straight through him in that millisecond a dozen more when through him. Matching the speed of the flash exchanging a few hits, ending with the flash a mile away from him. Turning into lightning he appeared in the air evading the sudden attack of the green lantern. As he stood mid-air he slowly got surrounded by the Kryptonian, Hawkgirl Green Lantern, Red Tornado, Doctor Fate, Fury and more "It seems that I have to get serious," he announces as his eyes turn white with lightning in the corner of his eyes. ==== "Who are you?" "We came here to make a deal," "What type of deal?" The White asks. "It''s obvious that the planet is dying. We are offering you a way to fix it but at a price." "And what is that?" "The ownership of this world." "You, you are just like them." "Even so you got nothing to lose and everything to gain." "And if you refuse we can still kill you and find another way to take care of the planet." "..." "..." "What do you want from us?" The Green asks. "Oh, so you accept. Let''s take care of the green first." "Got it" Gine answers as she walks behind the green "So what am I supposed to do?'''' she asked worriedly. " Healing the earth." "How I am supposed to...hmm" she suddenly m??n?d as she felt a huge amount of energy pouring into her. "What is this?" "Just concentrate on healing The Earth." "1,2,3,4 hmm it seems that we are missing one of you." "Yes, The Blue. Sadly he was the casualty of the fight, killed by Darkseid Deathspawn"The white answered "Sign, more work for me to do. By the way, can you cut the power of your avatar?" ==== Next chapter in two day. Also please check out my friend Isseisenpai fanfic "Back to the DC world?"

Chapter 52 - Taking Over (Part 2) ==== On the surface At the present, a huge fight was taking place. Their fight was being observed by the world as Lucy had never stopped broadcasting them. The people of this earth had suffered the worse as they had been in an emotional rollercoaster. During those past days they faced Darkseid, then the heroes came and protected them. Then it got worse as the watch as the heroes couldn''t even injure him but they were saved by two new arrivals that manage to do the unthinkable, only for them to turn around and announce that they are taking the earth over. Now they were forced to watch an epic showdown to learn the fate of their world. Before we start, I will remind you that injury or death is not my fault. If you feel that this fight is above your power level feel free to step back. "..." "Nobody, alright so be it." Grey then proceeded to snap his fingers. Immediately after a portal opened behind him as a grey like slim surrounded him, transforming into his grey armor and a green cape. Upon the appearance of his armor, he could see that the heroes were a little surprised "What you guys didn''t think that I had only one set of armor." "Even so we will defeat you." "So much conviction." she suddenly heard a voice behind her before she could react. She was struck by a kick immediately after the fight started. First, heroes with long-range abilities started to attack him of course he performs evasion maneuvers as he flew down. As he landed The Flash was the first one to reach him. Only for him to get blasted back by a lightning bolt. Grey then appeared next to him and did the next logical step breaking his leg. As he screams in pain Grey picks him up, then flung him away only for a portal to appear and sucks him in. "What, that?" "Where did he go?'' "What did you do to him." Powergirl who was flying toward him to attack him asked worriedly. "Taking the annoying ones out first "Grey answered as he disappeared in a lightning strike. He then appears behind Batman and Huntress. Smashing their heads together he proceeds to throw them into a portal. Just as he did so he was struck by a mace which only managed to turn his head while leaving some marking. Grabbing Hawkgirl''s hands he exercised extreme force, enough to make her drop it. With his free hand, he grabs her mace before it reaches the ground and cracks her across the jaw with it. Suddenly a hand then went straight through his ?h?st from the back, grabbing it, Grey pulled Val-Zod through himself. Creating a ki ball, he buries it into his belly, blasting him away. "Boom" a loud sound resounds through the area as a portal opens as Jimmy Olsen steps out of it "I shall not let you continue." Not even looking toward him Grey snapped his finger, resulting in Olsen dropping on the ground, pass out. But just when he was about to take his next step a golden rope suddenly wrapped around him "Hmm so the doctor." "I cannot let you continue." "Then magic it is." As he said so, different types of magical symbols light up all over his armor. Flexing, he broke it then flew toward, him starting a huge magical fight in the air. But Doctor Fate wasn''t alone, with the help of the other heroes it was difficult for Grey to land any effective hits. ''This is getting troublesome'' Teleporting away he appeared in the sky, spreading his arm and unleashed his power, immediately at speed visible to the eyes dark cloud started to gather with lightning rumbling. "You not getting away" the Green Lantern yell as he flew up but as he was halfway through he was hit by an abnormally huge and powerful lightning strike, that instead of lasting a few seconds continued until he smashed him on the ground at the speed of light. But strangely the lightning divided into four upon smashing on the ground, the lightning divided each going for someone. Some try to protect themself others try to evade but what they expect was that upon getting close to them that the lightning would transform into avatars of Grey. Only Fury manages to react, which doesn''t change anything, as everyone receives punches or kicks. "Begin!" Grey announced as he flew at full speed toward Dr. Fate. Of course, Dr. Fate wasn''t someone to be underestimated. He immediately created a Gold shield in his signature symbol, only for it to break under Grey punch. Seeing this he brings his hand in front of himself to protect himself only for Grey to fly by him then drag him by his cape and smash him in a huge mountain in the distance. The rest of the heroes watch as this happens, unable to do anything as they had to protect them against Greys Avatars attack. Only for them to discover that they couldn''t deal true damage to them as even if they manage to destroy their hand or head they would grow back while they never stop attacking. What was even worse for them was that their attack wasn''t to be underestimated. As everyone was fighting, The Green Lantern got up. As he looked around himself he saw Fury, Powergirl, Val-Zod, and Hawkgirl struggling to fight blue looking people. With great rage, he was ready to go help them. Only for him to feel that his connection with the parliament was growing weaker. Filling something was wrong he immediately flies toward there direction but as soon as he was about to reach the edge of the cloud he was struck down by a lightning strike. As he crashed he had to bring his hand up and create a shield but lightning strike after lightning strike his shield was broken and he was hit. Finally resulting in him passing out. As he lay down unaware of his surroundings, unknown to him his power had faded away. ==== In Space As they were watching the fight going on, suddenly they heard the screaming of someone as he yelled pointing down at the planet. As the people look down they discover something shocking, the earth was actually healing, reverting back to its green self, instead of the previous wasteland Darkseid had caused it to become. ==== Sorry for the late chapter i had to take care of some stuff. Next chapter in two day. Also please check out my friend Isseisenpai fanfic "Back to the DC world?" I help him translate it. i hope you guys like it and support him. Also check my other story Lord Doomsday. Chapter 53 - Taking Over (Part 3) In the night sky, Grey was laughing maniacally looking down at the scatter defeated heroes on the ground. After an hour of battle, he had sealed Dr. Fate away Starve the Kryptonian of sunlight, Hawkgirl had her wings burn, eventually passing out from the pain, while Fury had become so tired under the attack of the four avatars that she could stand up and Red Tornado was taking out from a random lightning strike that damaged her system. "You will not win" Power Girl said as she could b?r?ly stand up with burn marks all over her body, as even her suit was burned. In a flash of blue light and the sound of thunder, Grey appeared in front of her. "You might not know this, but I could have taken any of you out." As he looked at her smile. "Let me give you an example." Snapping his finger a portal appeared far away as an all-green iron man Armor stepped out of it. "You see this suit over there." He said while pointing at it." it''s made out of Kryptonite. So pure that just by being close to you it would have defeated you or even killed you but as you see I decided to starve you of sunlight. Anyway, I have a question for you. What do you think will happen if I don''t take over?" "We wouldn''t be ruled by a tyrant." "Not exactly." Snapping his finger the thunder rumbling and the rain suddenly stops, as a giant hologram screen appears in the sky playing a video, showing the earth half-destroyed "This is what is going to happen in a few months later, as the video speeds up. A month later Boom the Earth exploded. But with me here it''s different: the video changed to show that the earth was healing at a speed visibly to the eyes from the scar it had suffered from the battle. "If you don''t remember I had sent my companion away and what you are seeing right now is the result of their work. What I didn''t tell you is that I plan to fix your earth but everything has a price." "So your price is our servitude?" "You can say that, but with me here I guarantee that this world will be...Better." "You don''t have the right to..." "And you don''t have the right to speak for everyone." Grey then proceeds to look in the direction of the Spaceship, at the same time the hologram screen changes to show his face. "Let me present myself. My name is Grey and I come from a different...earth. Upon learning of the fate of your earth we came here to save you. As you see your heroes couldn''t do anything to save you. For example, to your knowledge, most of you die except for those that manage to make it on the ship." "What if I told you that I saved most of you. '''' With a thought, the hologram showed Atlantis which right now was packed with people. As you can see I can do way more and way better than any of your heroes, with me here this will never happen again. I¡­ Oh, fu?k." As soon as he said so he disappeared. With Grey gone the dark cloud in the sky slowly started to disappear while the transmission only showed the place, Grey had disappeared from. ==== Underground Cave Right now, Gine was standing in the corner recuperating from the energy she had used on the green as healing the planet wasn''t going to be done in one try. As she was watching Lucy speaking to the parliament, Just then she saw Lucy suddenly getting up. Just when she was about to ask her what happened she felt it, her connection with Marcus getting cut. When she saw Lucy open a portal she didn''t say anything as she walked into it, after her. ==== Suddenly in a wasteland, a portal opens as Grey appears in the sky, levitating. "Sign, I thought that by saving the planet I would have resolved all this. God damn it, now I have to take care of this." As he opened his palm of his hand he created a silver coin "Back to the old coin toss." And with that flip, the fate of this world was decided "Slaughter". He wasn''t obligated to take care of this passively; he had nothing to gain from being gentle. But with his knowledge, he knew that fighting here is 10 times more difficult than fighting with Darkseid. Suddenly, the ground all around him started shaking as it broke apart. All around him robots rose out of the ground and started swarming toward him. Without a second thought, his armor changed from his usual one to the WarMachine. With the boost of weaponry, Grey started a massacre, flying around destroying robots nonstop. After around 10 minutes of fighting Marcus discovered that the robot started forming a dome around him. "Hmm, oh yeah almost forgot about this." Flying up as his weapons were still taking them out. Reaching high enough, Grey changes his armor to an all-White one. Putting his hands together he started gathering energy forming a white ball when it reached the limit immediately released it. In a white light, all the robots around him became ice. Reverting his armor to the normal one he kept floating in the air "Show yourself. " he suddenly yelled. "Intruder." there he appears mid-air, the being behind all of this. "Why are you here without a city." "Maybe because there was no city." "No city unacceptable. Could I have miscalculated, I meant to take you just before the destruction of your world but perhaps I was off by a second." ''Yeah, by a second." "This is what my master instructed." "Hmm, and where is your master?" "Away from here, leaving the decisions to me and here you are with no city and by yourself, an error." "..." "I have to continue to work of my Master Brainiac." "About that, I have stuff to do, can I leave?" "Know your place without me you would be dead and perhaps you arriving in this matter is a sign. Yes, it must be, the time has come to determine who will be reflected in the universe of worlds and who will perish.'''' With those words he releases lightning from the palm of his hand in the sky, while a tornado starts forming around them while a metallic liquid swirls around Grey, trapping him. "Now with me trapped, I guess you are about to explain to me your plan." I am going to pit all of the universes against each other, each world within the multiverse in a battle to decide who deserves to live. As he said so Telos appear in the sky of every city "Citizens of my world I have brought this convergence upon you. Now is the time the hour is near judgment is here only one city shall survive, only the strong. " Next chapter next week. Chapter 54 - Taking Over (Part 4) Since your arrival I''ve been the air that you breathe the water that you drink, I a the very ground that you walk upon I am your starless and night I am this world I am Tellus and I attended to your every needs some of you came here in a time of infinite crisis, others were brought in the final moments of their zero hours, whether it was a flashpoint for a time that never was or of kingdoms that will never com As he goes on his speech Grey smiles while waiting to set a few things up. As his speech went one Grey could feel his restaurant growing weaker "This gonna be fun." With a sudden release of energy, grey blasted the liquid away. In a flash of lightning before Telos could even react Grey was already behind him. Placing a hand on his shoulder Grey formed a sword with the other one and with one swing he was headless. At the same time, his fingers ding into his skin infecting him and stopping Telos'' body from deteriorating as Telos'' head which turns into sands before hitting the ground. This event shocked everyone greatly as they were greeted with another unknown person. Currently Grey was in full showoff mode. His green cape flowing behind him, his eyes turning into lightning while his hoodie shadow hides all other aspects of his face and finally, lightning traveling around him. Looking straight toward the screen Grey starts his introduction. "The name is Grey and sadly for all of you, I am not here to help you. Telos'' objective was to make all of you fight against each other living behind only one city. If you don''t understand me or don''t believe me you will be presented with reality when the shields go down. Anyway with me here there is a little change. My goal is knowledge any city that cooperates with me will receive my protection while those that when to stop will be taken care of. Dropping the Telos body, Grey pointed his right hand into the sky. As the camera view changed to show the sky everyone could see dark clouds gathering and not wasting a second a bolt of completely white lightning struck his palm but it didn''t disappear but instead kept going. This was soon followed by another 10 different lightning strikes which all gathered on his palm. As he absorbed its power Grey hoodie and cape were burned away and were replaced by one made out of pure lightning, while every line on his armor started glowing bright blue. Pointing his left hand in the distance Grey started to direct the energy to his left hand, more precisely the power stone as this was happening every one watched slowly the lightning burn at Grey armor. Opening his palm up a strange green stone flew in front of it. And start glowing. "What did you do to me?" Telos said as his body reformed. "I merely did some hacking to slow you down." Telos was about to attack him but upon seeing Grey''s strange position he felt like something was wrong. "What are you doing?" "Oh that''s simple, I am summoning a few people." "Impossible, only I can do so." "To tell you the truth you got more power over this place than me, plus we are outside of time and space. I currently don''t have great experience in this but even after infecting you, it is still impossible for me to summon them. That is the normal way, this is why about to brute force my way through." "I am not about to let this happen." Before you start attacking me you should be more worried about stabilizing this place as what I am about to do is not beautiful." and with that he released the energy he had been gathering from the planet which was amplified by the power stone, blasting it the distance. ==== Earth 2 "Where is he?" "Arg...I fu?k this." Powergirl proceeds to fire he heat vision a full power straight into Gine''s face. After a few seconds, she stopped. She was prepared for everything but she did expect to be greeted with Gine''s angry face which only had some burn marks. "¡­" With a thought, Gine turns super Saiyan "Shit!" Powergirl said as she embarrassed herself for the incoming hit. "Stop!" She suddenly heard a voice, and when she opened her eyes she was greeted with the sight of Lucy holding Gine fist. "They don''t know what happened and by god stop overreacting. Out of the three of use, he is the one with the greatest chance of survival." "But he.." she had to stop mid-sentence as she felt a strange energy. "Do you feel that?" "Yeah," Lucy answered as she flew down followed by Gine, who was still holding Powergirl. As they reach the ground they all watch as a green portal slowly forms in front of them. So before I progress I need to tell you guys a few things. As much as I like to write chapters, read comments, and review I have to slow down a bit now that college started for me. So the more support the story gets the more I will try to write a chapter. The story with the most comments gets updated first.
