Prevent the Entry Part2
Prior to Wonder Whore’s defeat by the female members of the Justice League, and additional backup fighters, Supermaniac searched furiously through portals to portals to find the lantern he wanted to kill so much. It was not so difficult for Supermaniac to find him, but the portals was well guarded by Doctor Fate and Doctor Strange. The Green Lanterns also aided the powerful sorcerers by summoning countless energy nets to hinder Supermaniac’s entry, making Supermaniac roar in anger. Superman took care of their back by blasting the Betas behind them with heat vision, easily decimating them.
“Supermaniac. We all know who you really are and what you are capable of. There is no place for you in the multiverse, including your own universe”, Doctor Fate declared, as he created a mystical barrier which was too solid even for Supermaniac’s brute strength to break in an instant.
“You have two choices. Withdraw from the multiverse, or fail miserably”, Doctor Strange added as he summoned a backup portals to keep sending Supermaniac away, to the great rage of Supermaniac.
“Brainiac already destroyed a Doctor Fate! And I destroyed the World Collector myself! I can and will kill you, Kent Nelson! Then I shall bend even Fate itself to my will!”, Supermaniac roared as he tried to tear through the combined shield and energy nets. However, when Supermaniac tore through the shields, even more of them formed in the way of Supermaniac.
“Do not let him enter our universe!”, Doctor Strange ordered. The process repeated and repeated, until Supermaniac smirked.
“You cannot stop me, you Simpletons! You might had defeated the so called Shinnok, but now... You face the True God!”, Supermaniac declared as he unleashed his unknown power. Suddenly, Doctor Fate, Doctor Strange, and the Green Lanterns all held their heads, screaming in pain, as Supermaniac unleashed his telepathic torture upon them. Soon, all of them fell on the ground, losing their consciousness.
“All Too Easy!”, Supermaniac said with contempt as he looked at the heroes who were taken down by his telepathic power, making the combined shield banish into the air. Supermaniac wanted to get to the lantern, who had just recovered first duo to sheer willpower, which made Supermaniac smirk as he thought how painfully he could kill the lantern.
“YOU! You will pay for corrupting Lois and Kara!”, Supermaniac roared as he went to tear through Green Guardian’s chest, but someone else grabbed the maniac and punched him away. Supermaniac growled in rage as he saw his duplicate, the good Superman, standing in front of the blonde lantern to defend him.
“If you want to kill my friend, you’ll have to face the True Superman first!”, Superman retorted as he used his super breath to keep Supermaniac out of their universe. Doctor Fate had recovered by this time and joined Superman in the effort.
“I have understood your powers, Supermaniac. And I am now resistant to it. You cannot defeat me the same way now”, Doctor Fate declared as he aided Superman by creating mystical cages around Supermaniac, preventing the tyrant from moving a single muscle.
“I will never give up! Not until I save the multiverse, including this universe, by bringing absolute peace and order!”, Supermaniac roared in fury. Superman was in total disbelief, at how far his alternate self had fallen.
“My friend who you are trying to kill didn’t just tell us you are the worst tyrant in the multiverse. He also told me what happened to you when you were still a hero, and I felt really sorry for you. But... the death of your Lois wouldn’t justify your murders and your tyranny, except for killing the Joker! He did agree that the Joker needed to die! Why did you turn your back on your friends, your family, and everything you’ve stood for?!”, Superman asked.
“I saved my world! I killed them because they betrayed me! I tried the best... but when I saved the world the second time from Brainiac and the Insurgency, and restored the regime, my parents passed away from heart disease! The Insurgency failed my parents! If my regime had stayed, my parents could had been saved!”, Supermaniac retorted. Superman was bewildered by how ignorant Supermaniac was of the obvious truth, and blamed everything on others.
“Your parents... they died because they saw what you’ve become. It was their fear toward you that killed them! It’s not too late. End this madness once and for all, for your parents, for your Lois. You had been Superman once. You can do it! And I can show you how!”, Superman tried his best to convince his other self, but it was already too late. Supermaniac roared as he tried to enter Superman’s universe, by attacking Kent Nelson’s mind, but Doctor Fate had become resistant, not even showing any signs of pain. Supermaniac roared as he tried to tear through, but the combination of Doctor Fate’s shield and Superman’s Super breath had been too much for Supermaniac. Then Supermaniac saw the lantern he swore to destroy covering the two hero’s back, by using the lasso of truth to slice the Betas. Even if he could not enter this universe, Supermaniac was still going to kill the lantern.
“Enough! I might not be able to enter this world, but I am still going to kill the lantern!”, Supermaniac roared as he unleashed another of his unknown powers. Suddenly, Superman started to hear a heart beating at impossible speed rate, as if the heart was going to explode. Superman then looked at his lantern friend who was on the ground, holding immense pain. Superman could see this was the doing of Supermaniac, and immediately turned to Doctor Fate.
“Doctor Fate! Supermaniac is doing something terrible to our friend! Protect him with your magic!”, Superman ordered. Doctor Fate was about to oblige, but the lantern himself had stopped Doctor Fate.
“Don’t... Just focus on preventing Supermaniac from entering this world! My life doesn’t matter as long as he doesn’t enter!”, Green Guardian pleaded, his mouth now spitting blood.
“Well then! Join your predecessor in his Grave!”, Supermaniac ordered. He resumed his newfound power to control the insides of human body to his will. Supermaniac relished breaking the insides of the lantern who ‘corrupted’ Kara and Lois, by making the heart beat too fast for its own good, breaking the skull into pieces, and making the organs rupture as well. Soon, to Supermaniac’s delight, the lantern fell on the ground, blood pouring his skin as his organs were ruptured. The next moment, blood came out of the lantern’s head as the pieces of the cracked skull made its way to his brain. Eyes, nose, and ears were the next thing to pour blood on the ground as Supermaniac ruptured eardrums, eye balls, and nose bones of the lantern. Finally, Supermaniac heard the heart of the lantern stop beating, with an evil smirk, as the tyrant had finally killed him. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Erwin’s soldiers were using the excess firearms from Guardians of the Galaxy when the tragedy happened. They were quite impressed by the firepower of these weapons, as they shoot down the Betas which dared to come to them. None of the titan shifters had transformed as the guns were already enough.
“Wow! These guns are amazing! I want to keep these!”, Hange exclaimed as she kept firing.
“We need to ask permission for the one who had them, maybe our Guardian can help...”, Erwin tried to finish the sentence, but he couldn’t, as he saw the tragedy before them as they cleared the Betas. The 104th soldiers noticed the horrified silence of their commander and turned to see their friend lying on the ground, dead.
“No... why did you... have to rush to your own death...?”, Jean gasped in horror.
“He’s... dead?”, Connie murmured in shock, and despair. It was then they heard a laugh filled with immense grief, and guilt.
“You haven’t changed a bit! Damn you! I’m still useless... as I ever was! Ha Ha Ha!”, they turned to see Eren crying as he laughed at his misery of not being able to defend his best friend at all. Then, they heard the yellow lanterns smirking at the powerless humans.
“Humans... devour them!”, one of the monstrous lanterns ordered as the rest attempted to attack, but a violet light suddenly tore through them, slicing them into pieces with a bladed Amazonian shield.
“I’LL KILL YOU... ALL OF YOU!”, Mikasa roared as she fired violet blast from her lantern ring which sliced the horde into pieces. The violet lantern, now fueled by the love she had for her dead friend, tore through the yellow lanterns which dared to come to them, by using her base speed, completely ignoring the ground situation. Now it was up to the ground forces to repel the Betas. Sasha tried her best to repel them by her escrima stick. However, the grief and rage for the loss of her friend, her hero, had made her ineffective, as she forgot about her arrows. Soon, a Beta came from behind and struck her from behind, knocking her down.
Meanwhile, the Guardians of the Galaxy was fighting their own battles. Star Lord used his element guns to blast the Betas which came behind Yondu, while the latter used his Yaka to shoot the Betas down.
“Quill, even Supermaniac’s robots are nothing against us! We are the best!”, Yondu exclaimed.
“Dad... It’s just you who is the best”, Star Lord sighed as he took more of them down. The yellow lanterns tried to attack, but Gamora and Nebula were quick to react. Gamora used her godslayer sword and her assassin speed to slice the yellow lanterns even before they could notice, while Nebula turned her right arm into a blaster and blasted holes in their chest, as well as using her left arm as a massive blade to impale the ones that escaped the wrath of the sisters. Only one of them were spared, to be used as Mantis’ puppet as the empath took control, making the lantern fire at the Betas, to cover Drax who ripped the Betas apart with his own strength.
“Come on, Quill! If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t even be together!”, Drax cheered as he ripped another Beta apart.
“Yeah, we are all the best!”, Rocket added, as he fired his big gun at the flying Betas, alongside Groot who used multiple branches as his limbs to fire at the ground Betas.
“And I’m glad I met you, everyone here”, Gamora told Quill. Star Lord finally nodded at his teammates, hearing all the compliments. Mantis and Drax just smiled at them, as the world could end at any moment by Supermaniac.
“I am Groot (I love you guys)”, Groot also said. It was then Rocket realized someone who need his help. Star Lord saw Rocket walk away from them in disbelief.
“Rocket! Where are you going?!”, Quill yelled, but Rocket kept his cool.
“Just saving someone who need my help, because I am the part of this greatest team, the Guardians of the Galaxy!”, Rocket said as he used his jetpack to rush at the one who need him.
Meanwhile, Sasha was still struggling with the Betas which grounded her. The Beta tried to fire at her, but the potato girl used her escrima stick to make the cannon stuck. However, it was far from stopping the Beta, as its eyes glowed to blast the little girl to oblivion. However, the blast did not come. Sasha saw in surprise as the Beta had a big hole in its chest, and Rocket with a big gun which still released smoke.
“You okay?”, Rocket asked. Sasha then realized Rocket had saved her life, and recalled herself calling him a ‘meat’ by her appetite, in shame.
“I... I’m sorry I called you a meat... I was just hungry then... I didn’t deserve your help”, Sasha sighed in shame.
“It’s okay. Helping people is my job”, Rocket replied.
“Can I ask you who you are?”, Sasha demanded. Rocket made a grin and answered.
“The name’s Rocket, Rocket Raccoon. By the way, there seems to be something wrong with you”, Rocket replied and asked. Sasha could only point at the dead body of Armin in a pool of blood.
“He told me to apologize to you... and it was the last thing he told me... Was he a friend to you?..”, Sasha sobbed.
“Oh no... and he was a friend to everyone here. He didn’t deserve this at all. I guess I’ll have to get back to my team, to prevent a tragedy like him. He wouldn’t want it”, Rocket sighed and left. Sasha could only stare at the dead body, when the warrior unit arrived.
“Ms Blouse! Thank god you are alive!”, Gabi exclaimed, but she soon too had a face of dread as she saw the dead body.
“Why him...? I should had been the one in his place...”, Reiner sighed in shame. It was then the 104th soldiers joined them.
“No, he wouldn’t want it. I failed him! I was supposed to...”, Eren cried, until Kara landed at them. Kara too saw the dead body as well, as she gasped in horror and shame.
“No, you didn’t. I did. I should had known better than to let him face my cousin...”, Kara sighed in shame.
“I’ll make him pay... I WILL KILL Supermaniac!”, Mikasa cried in anguish and rage, but Kara stopped the violet lantern.
“No... Armin will never want you to die like he did. I’m going to KILL Kal, and do what I should had done a long ago!”, Kara cried as she flew away. The soldiers could only stare at Kara when they heard an angry growl which said, ‘I’VE HAD ENOUGH!’ as a red giant charged into the portal Supermaniac was attacking.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Autobots were firing at the Skull ships and the Betas that managed to survive the fire upon the skull ships. Metroplex, Omega Supreme, Superion, and Defensor used their firepower upon the Skull Ships. Volcanicus unleashed its wrath upon the skull ships by swinging his sword with immense force, slicing the skull ships with ease. Magnus Maximus used Mirage’s illusion power to create illusions of itself, making the skull ships fire at the illusions, helping the effort as Magnus Maximus also fired at the aerial forces with the firepower of Ironhide. Sky Reign used Trailbreaker’s force shield to trap the flying Betas inside, before crushing them by shrinking the force shield, before firing a black smoke at other flying Betas by Smokescreen’s ability.
“Go you big guys! Kick them out of the Earth!”, Cliffjumper exclaimed happily as he fired his ice guns at the ground Betas.
“And I can help them even more!”, Blaster cheered as he tried to do something, but this was met by dismay of a lot of Autobots.
“Please don’t! Just keep shooting at them!”, Perceptor pleaded.
“Just watch me do my job!”, Blaster retorted as he let out a interference currency, not his noisy music, to disturb the Betas from moving. This allowed Perceptor, Kup, Springer, and Blurr to fire at the frozen Betas, aiding Drift slicing the minions.
“Thank god we didn’t have to shut off our hearing processors!”, Kup sighed.
“Yeah, and it is our first time Blaster wasn’t noisy when he fights!”, Springer added.
“You didn’t to have be that mad at his music. This could be our final moment”, Drift told Kup and Springer, who had no choice but to nod.
“There is no need to be this pessimistic! We will win just like Megatron, and complain to Blaster again!”, Blurr cheered them up, as they needed to win and survive.
Meanwhile, Bumblebee, Hot Rod, and Arcee joined Sideswipe and Chromia in firing at the Betas.
“Clear a path for us, you scraps!”, Sideswipe yelled as his blades sliced through the Betas.
“Pieces of Tin!”, Chromia yelled angrily as she fired at even more Betas. Jazz joined as he handled even more Betas by himself, as he used his shield gun to cover himself and fire at the Betas at the same time.
“Too bad for your master, you won’t be getting any piece of me!”, Jazz yelled as he did his work.
“Yeah, Jazz! They are the ones who will end up in pieces!”, Hot Rod declared as he assisted Jazz in firing at the Betas.
“We won’t let Supermaniac recreate Tygar Pax! We can fight now!”, Arcee exclaimed as she used her hand blaster to cover Bumblebee, who kicked Betas away from him before blasting them with a big blaster.
“And our stings will hurt much worse than the last time against the decepticons who felt it!”, Bumblebee added. It was then Bulkhead joined them and used his wrecking ball to smack even more Betas on the ground, squashing them.
“We will wreck them all, and Optimus is gonna be the one to send Supermaniac back!”, Bulkhead cheered.
The yellow lanterns were forced to fight the Seekers with Windblade. Even though they could form objects according to their thoughts, the Seekers were the experts of aerial battles.
“You think you can beat us with such weak blasts?! It is nothing compared to the dark energon torture we went through!”, Starscream yelled as his null rays penetrated the shield constructs of the yellow lanterns, bombarding them.
“Yeah, I know how it feels. It’s definitely the greatest pain we all felt in our life. That’s why these creeps are nothing!”, Skywarp added as he teleported to avoid getting blasted by yellow beams. The next moment, the purple jet went behind the yellow lanterns and bombarded them long enough for the lanterns to notice, but a red jet and a blue one was already prepared to provide cover. Thundercracker fired sonic blasts to deflect the energy beams, allowing Windblade to slice the yellow lanterns while they were still suffering from the sonic blasts.
“They might be nothing, but we can be sure that they are as insane as Megatron and his followers!”, Windblade spat angrily.
“You are wrong, Windblade. Megatron still knew and admitted he was bringing a war to Cybertron, but Supermaniac is calling this peace! He’s even more insane than Megatron!”, Thundercracker replied in terror.
“Oh crap. And we should remember he will never stop at this universe, and seeks to conquer the entire multiverse. Also, he called himself a God. Even Megatron didn’t refer to himself as a God”, Starscream added.
“You are... actually right. Supermaniac is definitely the craziest tyrant in the whole multiverse”, Windblade nodded.
Optimus Prime, combined with Jetfire, fought alongside Elita One to back her up. Optimus Prime jumped in the air to shoot down the Betas, while Elita used her spear to slice the ones that escaped Optimus Prime. The yellow lanterns tried to come to them, but Optimus was wise enough to create multiple gun constructs and fired at them without giving them any time. The matrix of leadership enhanced the power of Optimus Prime’s power ring, and easily tore through the yellow lanterns. However, they noticed the yellow lanterns started leaving them, in surprise.
“Come back here, you cowards!”, Elita yelled as she fired at the yellow lanterns which attempted to fly away, killing some of them as a result. However, Optimus and Jetfire felt there was something wrong.
“Lieutenant Elita, I don’t think they are running from us. I fear they are attacking another target”, Jetfire said, as he separated from Optimus, who noticed something.
“No...”, Optimus mumbled sadly as he saw the dead body of his teammate. Elita joined Optimus and saw the same sight of tragedy as well.
“Optimus... it wasn’t your fault”, Elita told Optimus, who knew it well.
“I know, Elita. I hoped I would never have to feel this again since our arrival on Earth. This pain, I felt it every time when I lost friends to Megatron, and those who followed him. I do not blame those who had redeemed themselves... but it still stings my spark so much”, Optimus replied. Jetfire noticed the yellow lanterns were heading toward the dead green lantern to devour him, his optics wide with dread.
“Optimus... they are going to devour your dead friend”, Jetfire informed. Hearing this, Optimus Prime’s optics shone with determination, as much as the time Optimus fought Megatron when the Autobots escaped Cybertron.
“Freedom is the right of all sentiment beings, and he had sacrificed himself for freedom. I will never let his sacrifice in vain. Supermaniac must be stopped, no matter the cost”, Optimus declared.
“Please... Optimus... Even if you can’t beat him, it’s not your fault... Please just stay alive. I cannot stand losing you”, Elita pleaded as she placed her hand on the chest of the Prime.
“I will make sure of it, Elita”, Optimus replied as he transformed, and drove toward Supermaniac to stop the madness of the tyrant who had killed his comrade.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Superman stared in shock and dread as his friend fell to the ground with a pool of blood. The man of steel then turned to the tyrant duplicate of himself, with an angry glare.
“What did you do to him?!”, Superman yelled at his double, who still kept his evil smirk.
“I just punished this disobedient child! And now, my yellow lanterns... devour him!”, Supermaniac ordered. Then, Doctor Strange and the Green Lanterns recovered, and discovered the dead body.
“No!”, Hal cried in shock.
“Why did you have to die so early!? I had lots of things to show you!”, Kyle also cried at the dead body.
“He didn’t deserve this! Not one bit!”, Guy exclaimed angrily, when the yellow lanterns approached the corpse to eat it. John Stewart managed to find out and created a spinning sword which decapitated several yellow lanterns.
“All of you, defend the body! Do not let the yellow lanterns eat his body!”, John Stewart ordered. The Green Lanterns nodded as they summoned various constructs to repel the yellow lanterns. Hal summoned a flying buzz saw to deal with the filthy beasts, while Kyle summoned multiple mechs to crush them. Guy did the same as John as they defended the dead body of their comrade, as the rest used their ring to blast the yellow lanterns all at once. Supermaniac became even more angry at the sight of the dead body getting protected.
“Kyle Rayner, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, Hal Jordan... and the rest... My yellow lanterns! Kill these worthless duplicates like you did once! All of them!”, Supermaniac roared in anger as he still struggled against Doctor Fate, until Doctor Fate turned to see the dead body, then to Superman.
“Superman, Fate tells me there is still a way he can be brought back. I must inform the third child, who has the power to revive him. However, my focus will be diverted, so it will be up to you to hold Supermaniac at bay!”, Doctor Fate told Superman, then turned to Doctor Strange who just recovered in time, and ordered.
“Strange, you are to move his astral form to his power ring. In this way, the astral form will be intact when the third child can revive him!”, Strange quickly nodded and begun his job, waving his hand, and forming a magic circle beneath the dead body of Green Guardian to transfer the astral form to his power ring from a far away distance.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Justice League had seen the dead body as well, and Martian Manhunter knew he had to assist Clark to prevent Supermaniac’s entry.
“I must go. Clark needs my help against Supermaniac. You have one mission, survive, do not die”, Martian Manhunter ordered as he flew toward Superman’s location to provide help. Immediately, the Betas noticed Martian Manhunter leaving and tried to attack, but even without Martian Manhunter and Superman, the Justice League still overpowered them.
“I will crush you all! Trying to kill us again was your worst mistake!”, Hawkman roared as he joined Aquaman in defending Green Arrow. Hawkman easily smashed the Betas into pieces while dodging their blasts in the sky, while Aquaman used his Trident impale the ground Betas.
“Indeed. You will taste our wrath for the murders of our counterparts!”, Aquaman added.
“Man, I feel like I’m being a princess in the fairy tales! Having you guys protect me!”, Green Arrow exclaimed as he used his explosive arrows on the some Betas which managed to escape Hawkman and Aquaman. However, Flash was not moving for some reason, as if he couldn’t. Barry was confused as he had finally saw his double in front of him.
“Hello, Barry. Well, I’m also Barry but I need your help. I need you to merge with me so we can use the speed force to push Clark away from this world”, Insurgency Flash said.
“That lunatic is not Clark. Well not our Clark at least”, the Flash retorted.
“So your Clark is still good... too bad I’m used to him being an evil tyrant now... I must admit seeing Clark being good like we used to is heartwarming. Please help me be a hero again, for Billy, and for Armin too”, Insurgency Flash begged. Flash nodded and allowed Insurgency Flash to merge with him. The two Flashes combined into one, becoming one. Soon, the Flash suit begun to emit twice as much lightning as it used to
“Let’s go Barry. Run, to save this world!”, the two Flashes declared as they became one. Flash then turned to his friend Green Arrow, and smiled at Oliver.
“I’m sorry I hadn’t turned against Supermaniac sooner. If I had, all of this could had been avoided”, Insurgency Flash in the merged Flash said as he tore through the Betas which blocked his path toward Supermaniac, but before Flash would face Supermaniac, he needed another god’s help. Flash approached Hercules, who was still smashing the Betas.
“Hercules. We know you are awaiting revenge against Supermaniac. It’s time you had one, by merging with us”, Insurgency Flash said.
“What do you mean? You are not just the Flash?”, Hercules asked.
“We are the Flash, both your world’s and the other world’s Barry Allen”, Flash explained.
“I see. And I know how to merge with you like Raiden and Fujin. Now, let’s have our revenge”, Hercules said as he grabbed the Flash. Suddenly, a golden aura begun to surround them, as Flash and Hercules merged into one, granting Barry both the power of Speed Force and God of Strength. Now, Barry had a golden mace on his back, as well as a lion tattoo on his arms.
Meanwhile, Supermaniac smirked in delight as the mystical barrier of Doctor Fate became weak. Supermaniac begun tearing through the barriers until the last one. The tyrant could feel his victory was inevitable, and smirked.
“So you waste your power on that child... You are so weak caring for these criminals!”, Supermaniac roared as he flew toward the portal which were now open in the air, until Martian Manhunter’s telekinesis stopped the tyrant from moving. Supermaniac became angry at the one as he saw the Martian hold him at bay.
“Martian Manhunter! I killed you!”, Supermaniac growled angrily.
“Indeed, I know what you did to my duplicate, and to everyone else, which is why we will stop you at all costs!”, Martian Manhunter declared. Martian Manhunter then turned to Superman, who touched Doctor Fate’s helmet. Suddenly, multiple Superman emerged from nothingness as Superman used the duplication power of Doctor Fate. The Superman clones begun pushing Supermaniac back into the portal. The next moment, the clones of Martian Manhunter also emerged and aided Superman clones in sending Supermaniac away. Supermaniac could not hold against such amount of strength, as he roared in rage.
“I am supposed to be the God! Why are you this strong?!”, Superman then glared at his evil duplicate with contempt.
“Because we always help each other, unlike you who betrayed and murdered everyone else!”, Superman yelled at his counterpart, now angered by the tyrant who killed his friend.
“I perfected my universe, and they got in my way! And I could get support from everyone now that I’ve made them all obedient as they were supposed to be until someone ruined it! I will find out who did that and rip the one apart!”, Supermaniac roared as he struggled against the clones.
“We will never let you kill anymore, at least in this universe!”, Superman retorted.
“Indeed, and you will not enslave the multiverse!”, Martian Manhunter yelled back. Supermaniac struggled against the clones, now furious by the resistance. Then Supermaniac saw his yellow lanterns to devour the dead lantern, all slain. However, another wicked idea came to Supermaniac’s mind, as he used his telepathic torture on the lanterns again. J’onn attempted to defend the lanterns from the torture with his own telepathic shield, but Supermaniac’s telepathy was far stronger than that of J’onn. Soon, all Green Lanterns went unconscious again, to Supermaniac’s delight.
“You say I can control nobody?! Well then, I shall demonstrate you how! Convert the dead lantern!”, Supermaniac ordered his Betas. Soon the Betas attempted to swarm on the dead lantern to convert him into a zombie cyborg, but a red blast from above vaporized them. Supermaniac then saw his cousin Kara, her eyes burning in rage.
“Get Away From Him!”, Power Girl yelled in rage as she killed all Betas by burning them down.
“Kara!? Why are you defending him?! I am your cousin, and he corrupted you!”, Supermaniac retorted.
“You are the one who pushed me to corruption and grief! He is the one who saved me from the darkness!”, Power Girl retorted with hatred, as she used her heat vision to aid the clones by firing at Supermaniac’s eyes.
“He corrupted you with worthless hopes and freedom, just like other insurgents! I did all of this, the Regime, so I could prevent another Krypton from happening! My regime can make you safe, as well as Lois! It is my duty as your cousin!”, Supermaniac yelled back.
“You are not my cousin anymore! You are just the murderer of my friends, and the killer of the man who loved me! We were about to have a future together, and you took him from me! Just like everyone else!”, Kara cried with hatred. It was then Superman decided to enter the hateful conversation.
“You say you are making everyone safe, when you are causing the same tragedy as your Lois on others, even on your own cousin?! You are even worse than the Joker! And you had your best friend kill your biological son! How is that defending your family?!”, Superman yelled.
“Don’t you dare compare me to him! The Joker stole my Lois! And they disagreed on killing the clown! They all deserved to die! For disrupting my order and corrupting my cousin with their worthless ideals!”, Supermaniac roared back with hatred.
“If they really corrupted me, wouldn’t the same go to your Lois?! And you disgraced Krypton by merging with Brainiac and using his Betas, which destroyed our home planet and killed my parents! You are just the Joker and Brainiac combined to me!”, Kara yelled again.
“She’s right. And now I have no empathy for you. He was my friend too”, Superman declared as his clones used heat vision on Supermaniac’s eyes, burning them. However, Supermaniac roared in fury and pulled out a kryptonite tentacle to slice the Superman clones into pieces, then used his own heat vision to kill the Martian Manhunter clones. However, the number of clones kept growing. Supermaniac then realized the weakness of the duplicate sorcery.
“I now found out, you fools!”, Supermaniac smirked as he unleashed the telepathic torture on Superman and Martian Manhunter. Supermaniac’s telepathy was already stronger than J’onn. With both Superman and Martian Manhunter’s focus fully on their clones, they could not defend their minds in time. Soon, both Superman and Martian Manhunter fell down on the ground, unconscious.
“Kara. Don’t resist, because I am going to take you by (force)...”, Supermaniac tried to give his order, but a silver fist pushed Supermaniac away.
“I’VE HAD ENOUGH! With Tyrants like you killing my friends!”, Optimus Prime growled as he charged toward the portal and punched Supermaniac away with his own Prime strength. Optimus did not even allow the tyrant to react, as he went to his next move.
“After eons of conflict, I already learned the truth. The multiverse, no matter how vast, will never be big enough for you and us to coexist! Now is the time to show you the real power of a Prime!”, Optimus Prime declared as he opened his Matrix of Leadership to unleash its energy to push Supermaniac away. Supermaniac became even more angry at the sight of a ‘machine’ pushing him away.
“I don’t care what your so called Prime is! You are just a machine! I am a GOD!”, Supermaniac roared again as he gave his order.
“Doomsday! Kill that stupid machine, and destroy everything else!”, Supermaniac ordered, to get rid of the resistance once and for all.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
During all these battles, Doctor Fate managed to send his consciousness to the inside of EVA 01’s entry plug, where Shinji Ikari was using his EVA to fire at the skull ships with Positron Rifles, alongside the rest of the EVA Units.
“Doctor Fate?! Weren’t you supposed to be shielding this world from Supermaniac?”, Shinji asked.
“My mind and body can exist at different places at the same time. The third child, your friend needs you in order to live again”, Doctor Fate answered, as he showed the projection of the dead lantern to the third child.
“So the plan to lure Supermaniac succeeded... but at this cost?! I need to go, to revive him”, Shinji replied, as he summoned his mother back into the EVA’s entry plug once again.
“Mom, I have to be away from my EVA for a while. With the blue slime on your body, you can synch with EVA without being absorbed! Follow Asuka’s command in my absence!”, Shinji ordered, as he opened his comm link with other pilots.
“Asuka, I have to be away from EVA 01 for a while. I brought my mother back to take control. You are to lead the pilots and fire at the skull ships! I need to revive my friend who sacrificed himself to lure Supermaniac!”, Shinji told Asuka, who nodded.
“Well then, Shinji’s mom! Do you need any lecture on fighting with an Evangelion?”, Asuka asked Yui.
“I don’t need any. I was the one moving EVA 01 when it went berserk. I’m more capable than you think!”, Yui answered.
“Good luck!”, Shinji said as he opened a shadow portal to outside to jump into the battle field, as he flew on his wings. However, a pilot was quite worried by this action, Rei Ayanami.
“We have to help him! Supermaniac will kill Ikari kun if we don’t!”, Rei cried in terror, but Asuka knew better than to let fear consume themselves.
“Rei, Shinji is much stronger than you think. He may not be better than me, but I know he’s really good because He and I are the best team of EVA pilots! He’s gonna kick Super Hitler back to the Regime world and come back without any injury!”, Asuka cheered. Rei sighed in relief and nodded.
“Princess, aren’t you worried about our puppy? I thought you had some attraction with him”, Mari asked.
“Well, not in the way you think. We are the best team-up in battlefield. He’s the best teammate for me to have. That’s all”, Asuka replied proudly.
“So you see Shinji kun as a battle partner, instead of someone to love”, Kaworu concluded.
“Nagisa, you don’t have to be romantic when you love someone. Shinji loves us, and his new friends, but it’s not in a romantic way”, Asuka commented. Kaworu and Rei could nod in understatement.
“Well then guys! We fight our own battles!”, Asuka ordered. EVA 02, 00, 01, and 08 all fired their guns at the skull ships. Even though the skull ships had impressive energy fields, the shields were nothing against the firepower of Positron Rifles, resulting in their destruction by Evangelion Units. Mark 06 used its Cassius Spear to slice the skull ships into pieces, as Shinji jumped down from the sky.
Liu Kang’s kombatants were fighting their battles against the Betas as the war raged on. The ones in possession of firepowers took the front line to defend those with close kombat weapons. Kotal Kahn summoned his sun blasts to melt most of them into nothingness, assisted by Hanzo who used his hellfire. Raiden and Rain summoned lightnings to strike the Betas down as Fujin blew them away with a tornado. Ermac lifted the Betas up with no problem at all, allowing Nightwolf to summon a massive lightening upon them to destroy the Betas. Most of the Betas which dared to come to them were slain easily. The next ones to come were the yellow lanterns from the sky.
“What are these monsters?”, Kotal asked Raiden.
“They are led by the one called Supermaniac. He is a tyrant no better than Shao Kahn, and seeks to conquer all realms, and the realms that lies beyond ours”, Raiden explained.
“His madness must end”, Liu Kang said as he summoned a fire dragon behind the yellow lantern horde, which ended up burning them. Kung Lao used his bladed hat on the burnt lanterns and sliced them into pieces.
“Our burning is an eternal flame! You will never extinguish our fire!”, Kung Lao declared. Kitana, Jade, and Sindel rallied together to protect each other from the Betas, with Sheeva. Sindel screamed at the Betas and slowed them down. Kitana and Jade used their blades to slice the weakened Betas, while Sheeva breathed fire to cover the Edenians and ripped the surviving Betas apart by her bare hands.
“Mother... was Edenia’s end like this?”, Kitana asked with horror.
“I should say... yes it was. But when I came back, I promised never to allow such tragedy to happen again”, Sindel replied. Then Baraka and Goro joined them, as the two Outworlders used their blades to slice the Betas on their own.
“I am sorry, Kitana. Now we understand how devoid of honor we became, serving Shao Kahn and assisting him konquer many realms, including yours”, Baraka told Kitana in shame.
“You don’t have to be sorry. Shao Kahn would’ve killed your people if you didn’t obey him... and we can move onto a better future now that he’s gone”, Kitana replied.
“You’ve redeemed yourself. It’s the only thing that matters now”, Jade added. Then Reptile came as the Saurian blasted the Betas with acid spit, melting their blasters. Allowing Torr to rip them apart safely while Ferra used her arm blades to slice the melting Betas.
“We had been comrades than enemies. Even though we served wrong masters, us being comrades were the only right”, Reptile spoke.
“If it weren’t for these chosen ones, we might still be serving Shao Kahn. We must thank them for defeating us”, Goro said.
“And to think I tried to kill Liu the first time we met...”, Kitana sighed in shame.
“You were all manipulated, like Galatea. None of you are at fault”, Sindel told her daughter.
Meanwhile, the allied force of the remains of Special Forces, Lin Kuei, and Shirai Ryu fought alongside each other. They were never going to lose any one of them, and their resolve only made them stronger than ever.
“Touch Johnny or Cassie, you die!”, Sonya roared as she fired her energy rings.
“Guys, don’t get too close. These crazy robots can blast us to death if we get too close!”, Jax ordered, as his metal arms fired energy blast. However, Jax didn’t have the need to worry at all.
“I’ve got this, Jackson Briggs”, Sub Zero declared as he unleashed a huge ice wave which froze almost all Betas.
“Now we are free to kick them or punch them as you want! Thank Grandmaster Blueberry ice!”, Johnny exclaimed as he kicked the Betas down.
“Disrespect my Sifu at your peril!”, Frost growled angrily at Johnny’s words as she created an ice drill to penetrate the frozen drills.
“It is his way of being polite”, Stryker sighed as he fired his guns at the frozen Betas, while Kabal took care of the remaining Betas by slicing them with super speed. Meanwhile, Bi-Han and Hanzo worked with Sareena and Ashrah to kill the yellow lanterns which were about to get to their comrades.
“Hanzo... now I know what it was like for you when I killed your klan...”, Bi-Han said in shame as he used his shadow portals to make his shadow clones come out of nowhere, and rip some of the yellow lanterns apart. When the yellow lanterns dared to weaken Bi-Han with their twisted light, Hanzo used his hellfire chains to slice them into pieces with a yell of ‘Get Over Here!’.
“Bi-Han. I know that you were controlled. You were not yourself, and neither was I. We are both Quan Chi’s victims, and he paid for his mistakes. We have no crimes against each other, except me killing you”, Hanzo said. Bi-Han could only nod at Hanzo’s words.
“It’s okay, Bi-Han. He cannot hurt us again”, Sareena said as she used her kama inside one of Bi-Han’s shadow portals to slice the legs of the yellow lanterns, causing them great pain. This allowed Ashrah, also inside another of Bi-Han’s portal, to slit their throats while they were in pain. However, even with their impressive tactics, they could never kill all the yellow lanterns, which made their way to the ground forces.
“Kuai! These creatures are now after you! Brace yourselves! Hanzo! You are to defend my brother!”, Bi-Han ordered his brother as he and his comrades went back to work.
The battle between the ground forces became even more fierce as the yellow lanterns landed on the ground.
“Kill these pathetic humans!”, one of them hissed.
“That will never happen, you freaks!”, Smoke said as he summoned a cloud to blind some of the yellow lanterns, allowing Cyrax to fire some energy nets to slice them into pieces.
“You are all abominations no better than Sektor!”, Cyrax yelled. Meanwhile, Cassie and Jacqui fired their weapons at the yelow lanterns, who shielded themselves easily.
“Foolish humans! Your weapons are useless!”, one lantern hissed.
“We’ll rip you apart one by one!”, another added as they attempted to swarm on the two girls. However, them underestimating the teens got the better of them, as Kung Jin fired his smoke arrow to blind them, allowing Takeda to use his whips to slice them into pieces.
“Thanks!”, Cassie said as she kicked a surviving yellow lantern, her kick strong enough to slice the middle of the freak.
“I think I like you, the one with the whip. Who are you?”, Jacqui asked, as she fired her hand guns at another surviving lantern which lost its hands, killing it by headshot.
“Takahashi Takeda”, Takeda answered.
“I’m Kung Jin”, Kung Jin added.
“Maybe we could tell Nightwing and invite them too, Jacqui”, Cassie suggested.
“That is if we all survive this”, Jacqui said with anxiety in her voice.
Meanwhile, Hanzo assisted Sub Zero and Frost in dealing with the yellow lanterns. The yellow lanterns tried to shield themselves, but Hanzo’s hellfire chains went through, allowing Sub Zero and Frost to freeze them in no time. This allowed the special force members to fire at them. Kenshi also joined them and used Sento to slice another horde into pieces even before the lanterns could notice by levitating the katana. However, even with all of them, more yellow lanterns emerged.
“You can never kill us all, humans! Soon we will tire you out and eat you!”, one lantern hissed, before it was shoot by a red blast which vaporized it. They looked up at the sky and saw the child who defeated Kano shooting massive red beams at the yellow lanterns, killing them all with ease. Shinji spun around in the air and kept blasting the yellow lanterns, slaying more of them.
“Wow! Who is this kid?!”, Johnny asked.
“He’s the one who ended Kano”, Jax answered.
“We fought with him to end Kano’s invasion on his home city”, Sonya answered.
“He also treated the burns on my body and healed my body”, Kabal added,
“Really?! Why didn’t you guys invite me?”, Johnny asked.
“You were busy filming another of your movie”, Jax retorted. By the time, all yellow lanterns were now corpses, as Shinji landed on the ground.
“I’ve come here, to kick ass”, the third child declared.
“Weren’t you supposed to be with your fellow pilots?”, Jax asked.
“I was, until Supermaniac killed my brother, but Doctor Fate told me I can still revive him”, Shinji answered. Liu Kang and Kung Lao were in shock as they heard their student say his brother was killed. The Shaolin monks came to their student, and saw Shinji point at the dead body at the portal.
“Wait... how do we revive him? Even Lord Raiden or Lord Fujin cannot revive the dead”, Kung Lao asked.
“With my power. I have the power of Lilith to create my clones. I can use it to bring his body back to normal, and put his astral form in there. I need you both in your god form to assist me”, Shinji answered.
“Request granted”, Liu Kang said as he and Kung Lao merged with their respective gods.
“Thank you, Sensei”, Shinji bowed as they decided to head to the portal, which was now attacked by an impending Doom.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Supermaniac was now in a greater trouble as he found his suit almost become cleansed by the light of Matrix of Leadership, as he became even more angry.
“Matrix of Leadership, I call upon you! Cleanse Supermaniac’s madness and light this darkest hour for our fallen friend!”, Optimus declared. Supermaniac, who was slowing becoming immune to the Matrix thanks to his suit, became mad at the word ‘leadership’.
“I am the only leader the multiverse needs! And it is light and peace I will bring to them, not darkness and war! Except for you criminals who deserve none of my peace!”, Supermaniac retorted. However, Supermaniac found himself send away by an immense vortex. Supermaniac took a glance at the Flash, with a gaze of a rabid animal.
“You are weak, Barry Allen! You just used the rightful execution of Batson as an excuse to defect from my cause and become weak like Bruce was!”, Supermaniac roared.
“We are not just two Barry Allens combined. We also have Hercules with us! We are also a God, who will make you pay for everything you’ve done!”, God Flash declared as he unleashed a mighty vortex to repel Supermaniac. Supermaniac could not even move at all. However, the tables turned again as a mighty object charged into a portal.
“You think you are a god?! Then I will just call what is more powerful than a god!”, Supermaniac roared as he pointed at Doomsday who tore through the Matrix’s light and the vortex. Soon, Doomsday went outside the portal and attacked the heroes. Even with the strength from the Matrix, Optimus found himself grabbed by Doomsday, who ripped off his arm which had the power ring on.
“Optimus!”, Elita screamed in fear as Doomsday went for the killing blow by attempting to punch Optimus Prime’s head into pieces. However, God Flash was able to prevent it by sending Doomsday away with the vortex. This allowed Supermaniac to get to the portal, until Doctor Fate prevented him from going outside the portal once again. The Flash charged into Doomsday, now having the strength of Hercules, and sent the beast away. However, the blunt had stopped the Flash long enough to allow Supermaniac to make a next move on the speedster. Suddenly, God Flash fell to his knees, holding his head in pain.
“You are only speed and no brain! I have both, which makes me the most powerful GOD!”, Supermaniac roared as he tortured Barry with his telepathic attack, making the speedster fall to unconsciousness.
“Come back here, Doomsday! Rip Doctor Fate Apart!”, Supermaniac ordered. Shang Chi and Iron Fist heard this and went to stop Doomsday from killing Doctor Fate. Shang Chi used his Ten rings to lock Doomsday’s arms, while Iron fist unleashed his powerful punch on Doomsday’s stomach. However, their attacks didn’t damage Doomsday at all, as Doomsday easily did the thundercrap and pushed them far away. Doomsday then nodded at his master’s command and headed back to the portal, ignoring Shang Chi and Iron Fist who were still alive.
Supermaniac was still struggling as he waited for Doomsday to kill Doctor Fate. Then, he saw a burning bike driving toward him, as Ghost Rider glared at the tyrant with contempt.
“Kal-El of Krypton! You have escaped vengeance for too long! Now you feel the pain of your victims!”, Ghost Rider declared as he unleashed the penance stare on Supermaniac. However, the stare had no effect at all, much to the surprise to Ghost Rider.
“I am above your magic, and hell! You are no match for my Godhood!”, Supermaniac roared as he smirked. The next moment, Doomsday grabbed Ghost Rider and ripped him in half. Even though Ghost Rider was immortal, it was enough to put the spirit out of the fight, making it heal back to original state. Supermaniac smirked as he looked at Doomsday ripping Doctor Fate in half, until a teen punched the beast away with a hexagon shield.
“What!?”, Supermaniac roared angrily as he looked at Shinji, who glared at the tyrant with anger.
“I am the successor of your world’s Billy Batson, whom you’ve murdered in cold blood! And you also killed my friend! It’s time to avenge them!”, the third child declared.
“Billy Batson deserved to die! Just like this Lantern scum and YOU! Doomsday! Rip this brat apart!”, Supermaniac roared again. The third child faced Doomsday, alongside Fire God Liu Kang and Wind God Kung Lao, while Doctor Fate begun to heal his body back as well, while Power Girl used her super breath to repel her cousin on her own.
“I live to kill you!”, Doomsday declared as he smashed into the AT fields the third child summoned.
“I’ve fought monsters much bigger and worse than you before! And now I have their powers! You don’t scare me!”, Shinji retorted as he focused on his AT fields to prevent Doomsday from bleaching them.
“How do we even kombat such powerful monster on our own?”, Kung Lao asked, incredulous, as he watched the third child shield him and Liu Kang.
“Teacher Lao! I need you to take us up in a tornado!”, Shinji pleaded as he found his AT fields slowly being smashed by Doomsday.
“Got it, kid”, Kung Lao replied as he begun to form a tornado to shield them from Doomsday, which took him, Liu, and Shinji up in the air.
“Teacher Liu! I need you to cover this tornado in your fire and thunder!”, the third child added.
“With pleasure, my student”, Liu Kang replied calmly as he coated the tornado shelter in fire and thunder. At this time, Doomsday finally managed to tear apart all AT fields in time, and attacked the tornado. However, the fire and thunder brought at least pain to Doomsday, which made him follow the tornado.
‘This beast has no intelligence at all. It’s about time I used my brain like I did with Tremor”, Shinji thought to himself, as he moved onto his next plan, as his hand begun to summon some shadow behind Doomsday, as well as shielding the tornado with AT fields.
“Get the hell out of our universe!”, Shinji yelled as he begun to summon a shadow ball to encase Doomsday within. Being an angry brute with no brain at all, Doomsday could not see he was the one getting trapped. Soon, the shadow ball completely trapped Doomsday and banished, sending Doomsday to the Dirac Sea.
“Enjoy your stay in the Dirac Sea, Doomsday!”, Shinji chuckled.
“Good job, Shinji. You have defeated Doomsday by yourself at the first encounter. Not even Superman could do this”, Liu Kang complemented his student.
“Sensei... I couldn’t do this without you. Now, we stop Supermaniac! We can do this!”, the third child declared, as Kung Lao teleported them all to the portal which were now defended by Power Girl.
“No! It cannot be! Doomsday lost to a single brat?!”, Supermaniac shouted angrily as he saw the tornado appear in front of him.
“It was easy, you monster! Now it’s your turn!”, the third child declared as he used the shadow ball again, but Supermaniac was smart enough to avoid them and used his yellow lantern ring to erase the shadow.
“Shadow is useless! I even control lights! And Doomsday is an oaf compared to me!”, the tyrant roared as he flew toward the portal, only to have the entrance blocked by AT fields. Then, a tornado of fire and thunder begun to emerge from the At field, pushing Supermaniac away and away.
“You think you are a god?! You don’t know what it takes to be god, and its responsibility! You are just a big bully!”, Liu Kang yelled as he summoned even more fire and thunder.
“I bully them because they deserve it! Now, you shall see why I am the only God the multiverse needs!”, Supermaniac said as he put his hand in front of himself, trying to pull something toward him. Suddenly, to their disbelief, Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir came to the portal in a dark purple aura. Thor was dumbfounded when he saw his Mjolnir go to Supermaniac.
“No! Mjolnir! Come back to me!”, Thor pleaded as he attempted to pull his hammer back, but it was useless. The hammer made its way and hit Power Girl in the head, and unleashed a telepathic torture Liu Kang and Kung Lao. Shinji was too focused on blocking Supermaniac’s entrance, and could not defend his mentors in time, resulting in them falling to unconsciousness. Lady Sif and Loki watched with horror, as they could not believe the sight at all.
“No! That monster... he cannot be worthy of Mjolnir! How can he handle it?!”, Lady Sif cried in terror, but Loki was able to find out why.
“Sif... there is no way he can lift Mjolnir. He’s much worse than me... He’s corrupting it”, Loki gasped in horror as Mjolnir begun to have dark veins on its surface. Mjolnir then tore through the AT fields, allowing Supermaniac to unleash his heat vision to kill Shinji by blasting off his head. The third child managed to avoid getting killed by decapitation from heat vision by dodging the red beam, but it still managed to cut off his left arm, making the third child scream in pain.
“Now I enter your world without anyone to interfere! Prepare to DIE!”, Supermaniac declared as he flew toward the portal, only to have Doctor Strange throw a dimension at him, forcing the tyrant away.
“What?! Doomsday killed Doctor Fate! Who are you?”, Supermaniac growled.
“Like him, I am also a sorcerer supreme, Doctor Strange, who will stop your attempt to dominate us! And Doctor Fate is not even dead!”, Strange declared as he waved his hand and conjured multiple clones of himself, by posing like a Hindu deity. The next moment, thousands of Strange clones appeared to strangle Supermaniac with mystical lassos. The third child looked at Strange’s clones holding Supermaniac at bay, who was still corrupting Mjolnir. He could also hear Thor’s terrified words.
“No! Come back! Allfather Please! Save Mjolnir!”, Thor pleaded, now helpless. Those who were worthy were all fighting, and Shinji remembered Thor telling him he could be worthy as well. The third child let go of his doubts, and tried to bring Mjolnir back via a shadow teleportation, as he thought.
‘Please! Let me become worthy! I need you to save everyone from Supermaniac!’, the third child pleaded in his mind as he abandoned his doubt and decided to use Mjolnir. The next moment, Supermaniac saw a shadow ball take Mjolnir away from him. Mjolnir then came out of another shadow portal near Shinji’s right hand, and ended up in the hand of the third child.
“Wow! Thor was right!”, the third child exclaimed as he took the hammer, and cleansed it of Supermaniac’s corruption.
“No!”, Supermaniac growled with disgust and used heat vision to decimate Strange’s clones. Supermaniac then flew toward the portal to rip Strange apart, but the third child stood there, and whispered the ‘word’.
“SHAZAM”, the next moment, a massive lightning fell on the third child, giving Shinji an outfit which resembled that of Captain Thunder’s, with a big lightning mark on its chest. The next moment, a halo appeared on the third child’s head, and a golden arm made of AT field formed to replace the left arm which was cut off. The golden arm reshaped itself into some bricks after grabbing its fists, and created a huge AT shockwave which blasted Supermaniac away.
“What is this?! What kind of monster are you?!”, Supermaniac roared again in disbelief.
“I am Captain EVA, the successor of Billy Batson! The last champion of Wizard Shazam!”, Shinji Ikari declared.
“It doesn’t matter! You will soon join your predecessor in his grave like this lantern scum! And I will fry your eyes out like I did to your predecessor as I kill you!”, Supermaniac declared. However, Captain EVA didn’t even care at all and blasted him with eye blast made of powerful AT lightning fields, courtesy of Mjolnir’s enhancement.
Meanwhile, the Titans were still forced to fight against Dark Raven when Wonder Girl saw the dead body of her close friend, alongside many heroes which were taken down.
“NOOOOOOO!”, Cassie Sandsmark screamed as she sliced the demons into pieces. The Titans heard Cassie’s cry and saw their dead friend lying in a pool of blood.
“Why? Why did he had to die?!”, Nightwing yelled angrily as he turned into his Talon form and bit off another demon’s neck.
“I had my vision... and I still couldn’t prevent his death...”, Raven sighed in shame as she fought off the torment magic of her other self in the sky. However, Beast Boy noticed something going on.
“Wait guys... something is happening!”, Garfield exclaimed. The Titans looked in shock as Captain EVA with a Halo on his head begun to do something to the dead body of their friend.
The crews of AAA Wunder were in total shock, as they had never thought a human becoming a god without an EVA was possible.
“Former Commander Ikari, I never recall this in the scenario”, Kaji asked.
“I no longer need scenarios now. Now that Shinji with new powers brought Yui back”, Gendo retorted.
“She would be glad to hear this, Ikari”, Fuyutsuki told his former student, also surprised by Shinji’s transformation.
“What is happening to him?”, Misato asked.
“He’s... becoming an EVA with a human body, in its God form”, Ritsuko answered. Then, they saw Shinji’s body glow in rainbow as he begun to do something.
“Don’t do this! You can never be a human again...”, Ritsuko tried to call Shinji through their comm link, but Misato stopped her friend, and yelled.
“Go! Shinji Kun! Kick Supermaniac out of this universe! For everyone!”, even though Shinji could never hear them, Misato was still content seeing her brother grown up, even being worthy of being a champion and Mjolnir as well.
Captain EVA begun to glow in rainbow color as he begun his work. He instantly healed Doctor Fate, and ordered.
“Doctor Fate, shield this world again, while I bring my friend back”, Doctor Fate quickly nodded and went to the portal again, and trapped Supermaniac within his mystical barriers.
“Impossible! Doomsday ripped you in half!”, Supermaniac gasped as he struggled to break free.
“A Doctor Fate can never stay dead, and it will be the same for him!”, Doctor Fate retorted as he pointed at the dead blonde lantern, who were now turned into LCL. Soon, Captain EVA fired the power ring into the air and begun to form the LCL into a fully healed body once again. Captain EVA then turned to Strange, who quickly did his work and transferred Armin’s astral form back to his new body, which exhaled air after his second resurrection. Kara was in awe as her love was brought back to life. The revived lantern looked at Captain EVA, Doctor Strange, and Doctor Fate, and immediately understood they brought him back to life.
“Thank you... I owe you all my life...”, Armin bowed to the three who revived him, who just nodded at the words of gratitude. Kara quickly rushed to her beloved and held him in her arms, both happy and angry.
“You! You bastard! You promised you would give me happiness... and you left me!”, Kara cried as she held Armin in her arms, who had an expression of guilt.
“I’m sorry I broke my promise, Kara... I don’t deserve to be forgiven by you...”, Armin replied in shame, for not being able to know how much grief he would cause to his loved ones by sacrificing himself.
“I’ll forgive you... if you stay with me and never leave me again!”, Kara sobbed as the two embraced each other. Shinji smiled at the sight of the reunion, as well as God Flash who finally woke up from his unconsciousness. God Flash looked at Captain EVA’s outfit as Insurgency Flash wondered if Shinji had something to do with Billy Batson.
“Your outfit... it resembles to that of Billy, a lot”, Insurgency Flash in God Flash spoke.
“I am the successor of your Billy Batson... I now wish I can bring him back too... I know he didn’t deserve to die at all”, Captain EVA replied. Supermaniac saw the four heroes at the portal with disgust and hatred, as he saw Kara hugging the ‘lantern scum’ in a loving way.
“NO! You can’t be alive! I KILLED YOU!”, Supermaniac yelled in disbelief, pointing at his lantern nemesis, when Captain EVA stepped forward.
“Yes! You’ve murdered him! And I brought him back! Now you are gonna pay for what you did!”, Captain EVA retorted.
“Then I’ll kill him again and again until you cannot bring him back! Then Kara will finally understand how much I suffered when I lost my Lois! Then She will become like me and accept my regime!”, Supermaniac roared as he attempted to do the organ rupture attack again, but Captain EVA tossed a blue slime and equipped it on Green Guardian’s back.
“Not so fast!”, the champion said as the blue slime begun to have effect. Supermaniac watched in disbelief as he saw the blonde lantern with no expression of pain at all. Supermaniac scanned his insides with Xray vision, but it was still intact.
“How!? My power is unrivaled by any of you! You should be dead again by now!”, Supermaniac roared in anger.
“Not anymore! With my friend here, I am immune to your ridiculous power for killing! You will never take me from Kara, and hurt her again!”, Green Guardian retorted, his eyes glowing in green with anger.
“I almost became like you when I arrived here... but not anymore! And I will never let you take anyone, let alone him, from me ever again!”, Power Girl added, her eyes now red with hatred toward her insane cousin.
“Consider this as a revenge from Billy, Hal, Kara, and me, you lunatic!”, God Flash yelled as he readied his vortex attack.
“Well then! You will all join the Insurgency in EXTINCTION!”, Supermaniac roared as he prepared to fight the insurgency, to end his nemesis once and for all. The Insurgency also readied their powers, to avenge Supermaniac’s victims, and banish his tyranny from their world.
