“Have you guy’s found anything yet?”
Psimon asked as he pushed over another piece of rubble.
“Nothing yet boss,” Mammoth replied lifting a huge
chuck of rubble off the ground and tossing it out of his way.
“Bird boy’s team really did a number on this place
that’s for sure.”
“So what are the odds that Simyan and Mokarri were in here
when the place went up?” Shimmer asked while walking around
the area a few more times.
Jinx stood looking over the wreckage of what was left of the Evil
Factory for a moment before she replied to Shimmer’s
question. “Those two were probably on the first escape
transport even before the place went up.”
From underneath some nearby wreckage a thundering noise could be heard.
Moving closer to the area Gizmo could hear the sound getting louder,
and louder as it drew closer as well.
“Hey are you guys hearing this?” Gizmo asked as he
waved everyone over to his location.
Walking over to where Gizmo was standing the members of the
Freedom Five began hearing the same sounds that their partner was
hearing. Looking at one another for a moment as if asking what it was,
the group each shrugged their shoulders in response.
“Can you read anything Psimon?” Shimmer asked as
she squatted down and placed her hand on the ground.
Taking a moment to concentrate Psimon reached out with his mind to
whoever, or whatever was underneath the rubble, and found nothing at
all. Whatever it was it had no mind for him to reach. Pushing his
powers harder for a moment Dr. Simon Jones delved further and found
something disturbing.
“God!” Psimon exclaimed as he fell backwards.
“What is it Simon?” Jinx asked as she kneeled down
beside him and placed his head in her lap. “What did you
see?”
“What ever it is, it has no mind,” Psimon replied
as he shook his head in order to clear his thoughts. “But
there is one constant thing echoing inside that thing.”
“What’s that?” Gizmo asked as the tremors
began to grow more powerful.
“Death. Nothing but death echoes in this thing’s
head,” Psimon replied as a gray flesh toned jagged boned hand
shot through the rubble in front of the group.
Everyone immediately fell backwards from the force as the hand shot
upwards. Scurrying to his feet Gizmo, popped a laser cannon from the
pack on his back and took aim at the spot where the hand was.
“Come on we have to go,” Mammoth said as he grabbed
Psimon, and Jinx by the arms and pulled them up to their feet.
“Now!”
Just as the team began moving away from the area suddenly the thing
what ever it was burst from the ground. The team stared at it for a
moment. They watched as the gray skinned creature looked around for a
moment, before focusing in on them.
“Rrrrrrrgh!!” He roared as he began walking towards
the group slowly.
With out warning Jinx released a wave of her magic that caused the
ground beneath the monster’s feet to crumble. As the ground
began to break away the monster leapt forward towards Shimmer.
“Back off creature!” Mammoth shouted as
he delivered a massive blow to the creature’s face. As soon
as his fist impacted Mammoth could feel several bones in his hand
shatter. “Aghhh!”
“O’ god Baran,” Shimmer said as Psimon
moved Mammoth out of the way. Once he was clear she used her powers to
transmute the ground beneath the monster into tar.
“Now it’s my turn,” Jinx said as she
created a large ball of green flame and unleashed it at the monster.
Once the flame hit the tar it set the creature ablaze instantly.
As the team began making their way from the flaming monster, they were
surprised to see the creature pull himself free from the tar. His
growls could be heard coming from the crackling flames, as he made his
way towards the Freedom Five. Psimon used most of his telekinetic
powers to push the creature away, but found the beast merely stood his
ground.
“That’s going to work,” Mammoth said as
he grabbed Psimon by the back of the shirt and pulled him along.
“We have to get out of here. That thing is going to kill
anything in his way.”
“Can you make us invisible to that thing, Psimon?”
Shimmer asked looking back at the monster as it kept coming after them.
“No. It doesn’t have a mind to attack,”
Psimon replied. “It’s working on pure instinct.
Nothing but rage and death.”
“Then we have to try and stop him,” Jinx said as
she turned around quickly and unleashed a massive force blast at the
monster.
Taking Jinx's lead Shimmer turned the ground behind them into
quicksand. Gizmo flew up, turned around, and then came down and
unleashed several small explosive devices that exploded on impact.
“It won’t hold him off for long,” Gizmo
shouted as he began firing another round of explosives at the creature.
“Arrhhh!!” The creature screamed as he leapt from
the smoke that the explosions created.
Gizmo wasn’t fast enough as the creature grabbed him around
the throat while coming down to the ground. Their partners muffled
cries could be heard as the thing simply crushed Gizmos head in his
large gray skinned hand.
“Oh god! Mikron! No!!” Shimmer screamed
as tears began to run down her face.
Fighting back more tears, Shimmer unleashed her powers once again. This
time she waited for Jinx to raise the ground around the creature, and
then she transformed the ground into steel, trapping the creature
inside.
“That is only going to hold him for a few minutes,”
Jinx said as she and Shimmer ran to catch up with Mammoth and Psimon.
“We have to find some way to get back to base,”
Shimmer said as she wiped the tears from her face. “The
transport was destroyed with Mikron. So how are we getting out of
here?”
“We must find a way to get in touch with the locale
resistance cell,” Psimon replied while leaning against a
tree. “I’m sending out a telepathic SOS I just hope
someone answers before it’s to late.”
Back where the monster was trapped in the steel box, a banging noise
could be heard coming from inside the box. The monster's fists slammed
into one spot with enough force to shatter a mountain over and over
again, until it appeared on the other side.
“He’s already broke through your box,
girls,” Mammoth said as he held his broken hand.
“We gotta keep moving. Come on people, let’s
move.”
As the team began to move out once again the creature suddenly appeared
behind Shimmer. She didn’t feel it as a large bone shot from
the creature’s arm and ran through her stomach.
“SELINDA!!” Mammoth screamed as he watched the bone
rip through Shimmer’s body.
“ROAR!!!” the thing screamed as the bone retracted
back into his arm.
Mammoth couldn’t keep his anger in any longer. Leaping at the
creature he used his good fist to repeatedly punch him in the face over
and over again. After a few moments the creature seemed to laugh as
Mammoth’s hand began to shatter. Placing both hands on the
side of Mammoth’s head the creature began to squeeze until
his head smashed like modeling clay.
Jinx and Psimon were the last ones and they both knew that it
wouldn’t be long before the creature finished them off as
well. As the creature neared them it was suddenly frozen in place
thanks to a blast of cold energy.
“Who?” Psimon asked as he and Jinx fell to the
ground. When they turned to see where the constant stream of frozen
energy was coming from.
What they saw was a team of eight men and women standing near one
another. Dr. Jones breathed a sigh of relief once he realized who it
was that just saved his and Jinx' life.
“I’m glad you got my message, Sam,”
Psimon said as a large bulky man who had a tube running into the back
of his head helped him off the ground. Jinx was helped up by a man
wearing a white suit that covered his whole body.
“When we got ya message Simon, I gathered my team and we
headed down here as fast as Emil here could carry us,”
replied an older man with white hair who was dressed in older clothing.
“How fast can we get out of here?” Asked Jinx.
“Not for at least an hour,” the French man known as
Emil LaSalle replied. “I had just brought a team back to base
from Mexico Block, when Sam asked me to bring the team here.”
“What he’s trying to say is the more times he ports
the more it takes it out of him,” Sam replied in simple
terms. “He’s gonna need to rest awhile before he
takes us home.”
“Well then we had better put as much distance between us and
that thing as possible,” Psimon stated. “Believe me
he won’t stay in that thing for much longer.”
Walking past Psimon and Jinx a man dressed in blue and white walked
over to where the creature was frozen. Removing the blue hood with
white fur trim from his head, he placed his hand on the ice for a
moment.
“He’s right Sam,” the man replied as he
felt small tremors coming from the ice. “What ever this
doomsday machine is, he’s going to break free before too
long.”
“Then we best be out of here before he does Cold,”
Sam said taking a look around. “Halo, Ray take point. Cold,
you and Bane bring up the rear. We have to put some ground between us
and this Doomsday before he busts out of his ice cube.”
“Then lets move before that happens,” a
large man made of mud said as he encased the bodies of Mammoth and
Shimmer in solid mud. He then pulled them into his body where he held
the body of Gizmo as well. “I’ll carry these three
inside me until we get back.”
“You’re a good man Hagan,” Sam said as
the team began to move out. “Once we get back we can give
’em a proper burial like they deserve. Freedom Fighters,
let’s move out.”
Taking the point the young blonde woman named Halo soared through the
air, along with a young man named Ray who appeared to be made of light.
The man known simply as Sam followed behind them with Clay Face,
Psimon, Jinx, Warp, and the Human Bomb right behind him. Bringing up
the rear of the group Bane, and Captain Cold kept watch for any sign of
danger that would try and sneak up on them.
“I’ve heard stories about you Sam. Are you really
as old as people say you are?” Jinx asked as they kept moving
through Opal Block in order to put distance between them and the
creature Sam named Doomsday. “I mean have you really been
around since the beginning?”
“People tell all kinds of stories ma’am,”
replied Sam as he ran a hand through his white hair. “But I
have lived a very long time. Longer then most people should.
I’ve seen many wrongs committed and have spent my life to see
those wrongs put right. Even I’ve forgotten what the world
was like so long ago. But I do know that, I can’t die until
this land sees freedom from Darkseid. She won’t let
me.”
“And are you really as strong as people say?” Jinx
asked.
“I’ve been known to give those Kryptonian fellas a
run for their money in a fist fight,” Sam replied as the team
came to a rest in an abandoned building. “It’s just
another gift I’ve been blessed with. Now I think
it’s time everyone rested for a spell. Warp let me know when
you’re up to full strength again.”
“Right away Sam,” Warp replied in his thick French
accent.
“It’s going to be dark soon,” Ray said as
he powered down to his human form. “When that happens, it
won’t be to long before the Para Demons and Justifiers start
searching the city for resistance members. You know their masters
aren’t happy that the Evil Factory was destroyed.”
“You may be right son. But I don’t aim to be here
when they show up,” Sam replied as he rolled up his sleeves.
“Roy if we get into trouble I want you to pick a wall in the
opposite direction and blow us a way out of here.”
“No problem Sam,” replied Roy Lincoln
also known as the Human Bomb because of his explosive touch.
“I’m not in the mood for a fight at the moment
anyway.”
“Well let’s hope we don’t have to fight
today old friend,” Sam said taking a seat by a near by wall.
Back
at what remains of the Evil Factory.
Same
time…
The ice that kept Doomsday captured soon exploded sending shards every
where. Taking a second the creature looked around the surrounding area
as if searching for something. Once he caught the scent of what he was
looking for he began making his way towards Opal Block.
With one giant leap the creature came crashing down right in the middle
of Opal Block like a missile. The ground shattered underneath his feet,
buildings shook, and glass shattered with the force of the
creature’s impact.
“Rooaarrrr!!”
Stomping down the road the monster known as Doomsday demolished
everything in his path as he made his way through the city. He smashed
and threw cars in all directions watching them sail through the air and
crash into buildings.
As people ran scared the monster would extend his bone claws and slice
people in half. Others he would grab and squash their heads like they
were grapes.
Once the alert had went out about trouble in the city the Justifiers
were dispatched in order to take care of the problem. Three squads were
sent out but even that wouldn’t be enough to stop the monster
Doomsday.
The Justifiers marched from the Aero Carriers, shock rods ready for
battle, and the fire of battle burning in their red eyes. As they came
upon Doomsday they activated their shock rods and brought them down
upon the monster’s head and shoulders.
Doomsday seemed to stare at the Justifiers for a moment
before putting his hand through the stomach or one, while putting his
other hand through another’s head. He roared once more as he
slammed to the two dead bodies into more Justifiers that neared him.
It didn’t take Doomsday long to cut a path through the
Justifiers. Leaving some of the foot soldiers in one piece while some
were left in several pieces scattered around the area of the city.
“RROOAARR!!!!!”
Back
at the abandoned building...
The members of Freedom Fighters and what remained of the Freedom Five
were awakened by the sound of the extremely loud roar that came from
the middle of the city.
“I reckon that monster fella done went and broke himself free
from the Captain’s ice cube,” Sam said as everyone
got up from their resting spots. “Warp are ya ready to port
out of here?”
“I should be ab...” Warp’s words were cut
short as the enormous hand of Doomsday broke through the wall behind
Warp grabbed his head and pulled him through the wall.
Looking through the wall Ray caught the last moments of the creature
ripping Warp in half. Ray then backed away quickly as Doomsday broke
through the building growling and snarling like an animal.
Removing one of his gloves Roy Lincoln yelled. “Everyone get
out of here!”
“You heard him Fighters. Move!” Sam ordered as
everyone moved out of the building.
Running towards Doomsday Human Bomb punched the monster, which released
the explosive energies within him, which stunned the monster for a
moment. Taking off his other glove he brought his hands together and
slammed them under neath the monster’s jaw sending him
backward with the power of a several missiles.
As the team ran down the streets they could still see the lights of the
Human Bomb’s explosions. However the lights didn’t
last long and were soon gone. The team thought for a moment that maybe
Roy had beat the monster, but those thoughts were soon dashed as the
monster came crashing through the building running after the group.
“We have to slow this thing down,” Captain Cold
said firing a large blast of cold energy from his twin freeze guns.
“You guys keep moving I’ll hold him as long as I
can.”
Pouring on the cold blasts Captain Cold watched as the beast busted his
way through the ice blockades. Taking to the air Halo and Ray prepared
to join the fight.
“Ready Ray?” Halo asked as she switched to her
orange aura. This aura gave her the ability to fire concussive blasts
of energy at her opponents.
“Ready when you are Gabrielle,” the Ray replied
while powering up. “On three Gabby.”
“One.”
“Two.”
“Three!” They both said as they unleashed a massive
force of concussion force that sailed through the air and impacted with
the creature knocking him to the ground.
“Now let me try this,” Halo said as her aura
switched from orange to green. “This green aura allows me to
access a stasis beam. It should hold him for a while.”
Firing her green stasis beam aura at Doomsday, Halo prayed that it
would hold him long enough for everyone to get to safety.
“How long do you think we have Halo?” Clay Face
asked.
“I’m not sure,” replied Halo switching
from her green aura to her red aura. “With his strength it
could be a matter of minutes. I suggest we get as far away as
possible.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” Psimon said
staring at Doomsday. “This thing killed my friends and I plan
on taking this thing down before he kills anymore people. He has to be
stopped. Now.”
“I think I have to agree with Simon,” Jinx said
touching Psimon on the shoulder. “If we don’t stop
him now, then no one will be safe from that thing.”
“All right Fighters, those who want to go I suggest you do so
now,” Sam said looking around at the group of resistance
fighters that stood around him. “Anyone willin’ ta
fight, then we fight. We’re going to need a plan of attack if
we’re goin’ ta beat this monster.”
“Well we know that this monster seems to be able to adapt to
our attacks,” Psimon said as he ran several plans through his
mind. “I believe we may be able to stop him but
we’re going to need something big to use against
him.”
“How big are we talking about Doctor?” Ray asked
floating down to the ground.
“I’d say about the same size of what took out
N-Block,” Psimon replied. “The only problem is I
don’t know where we’re going to get something like
that.”
“So we find a way to create our own,” Sam said as
he tried to come up with something. “Ray how much energy can
you generate?”
“Not enough for what you want to do sir,” Ray
replied. “Plus my powers are based around light. I could
probably generate enough light to blind him permanently, but not enough
to kill him.”
“Then we need another option,” Clay Face said as he
dug a large hole and placed the bodies he was carrying inside. Covering
them up he stood with his team once more. “Sam I suggest we
get the rest of the army together if we’re going to stop this
thing.”
“You’re right Matt,” Sam replied looking
over at Psimon. “Psimon can you contact Iron Monro and get
the Freedom Brigade here?”
“I’ll try my best,” Psimon replied as he
placed two fingers on each side of his head and concentrated as hard as
he could. Iron Monro can you
hear me?
Psimon
I’m here. A voice
replied. What do you need?
We
ran into something that has to be stopped.
Psimon replied as he continued to concentrate. Gather the Freedom
Brigade. You’re needed.
Lilith
can have us there in a few minutes. Stay alive until we arrive.
“Iron is on his way with his group,” Psimon said.
As his eyes went wide he suddenly screamed out, “LOOK
OUT!”
The monster Doomsday finally broke free of the stasis beam and
unleashed a mighty roar that showed he was more angry and blood thirsty
now than he was before.
Creating a couple of sledge hammers from his clay body Clay Face
unleashed them straight at Doomsday nailing him in the face.
“Bane go!” Clay Face said as he hit Doomsday over
and over again.
“You know I always thought this stuff was a curse from
Desaad,” Bane said as he twisted the knob attached to the
device on his wrist. With the twist a chemical strength enhancer was
released into Bane’s body. “But right now it could
save our lives.”
After his body had almost doubled in size Bane went after Doomsday head
on. The two power houses exchanged blow after blow with almost enough
force to break a normal human in half. Knocking Doomsday with a
powerful left, Sam followed up with a powerful right punch rather
surprising for a man his age. As the two stepped to the side so Clay
Face could create an anvil and use it to launch a powerful uppercut
that sent Doomsday flying backwards.
While Doomsday was still in the air Halo and Ray took to the air while
Jinx stood on the ground and all three fired blasts of energy that
together drove Doomsday to the ground. Captain Cold went next as he
unleashed his twin cold beams freezing Doomsday once again. Jinx saw
the next move was hers and used her ability to create ground tremors to
send the beast into a hole in the ground.
Everyone knew that the monster Doomsday wouldn’t stay down
for long. They each took the mere moments they had to prepare for their
next attack. Suddenly they heard the sound of someone teleporting
behind them.
Turning around they saw the leader of the Freedom Brigade, Iron Monro
standing with seven other men and women.
“I believe you called for assistance,” the muscle
man Iron Monro said as his team joined with the others. “What
are we dealing with here Sam?”
“A monster Arnold,” Sam replied as the monster
Doomsday burst free from his containment in the earth. “A
mighty big and ticked off sort of monster. I suggest we work together
people or this could be the last fight for any of us.”
“Livewire, Jinx, Ray, and Halo get ready to hit with long
range attacks,” Iron Monro said as Doomsday began to make his
way towards the group of heroes. “Go now!”
“Manhunter, Star Spangled Kid, Stripsey, Captain Cold hit and
run maneuvers,” Psimon ordered as the first team continued
hitting Doomsday with long range attacks. “Team one move!
Team two move in!”
As the long range hitters moved out of the way the second group began
moving faster then Doomsday could keep up with them. The group would
perform hit and run moves in order to keep him distracted for the third
team.
“Okay heavy hitters,” Sam said looking at the group
that consisted of Bane, Clay Face, Iron Monro, Amazing Man, and
Thunder. “Let’s see if we can’t knock
this fella down for the count.”
With the other team keeping Doomsday distracted, the third team moved
in pairs of two. Amazing Man took on the properties of a metal band he
wore before moving with Clay Face in order to hit Doomsday first. The
team knocked the beast backwards and then quickly moved out of the way
in order for team two to move in and strike.
Thunder and Bane teamed up next. Increasing her size and density
Thunder and Bane both began pounding on Doomsday with a barrage of
punches which kept the monster on the ground. Once they had done their
damage they moved out of the way of the last group to attack.
Sam the leader of the Freedom Fighters and Iron Monro leader of the
Freedom Brigade shook hands before making their way towards their
target. Just as Doomsday made his way back to his feet he was soon
being knocked around once again.
After a few more punches Doomsday’s eyes began to glow red
with rage and anger. He unleashed a roar so loud that it could shatter
glass and shake the earth around him. Sam began to throw another punch
but his hand was caught by Doomsday. His grip tightened around
Sam’s fist and then flung him to the side and into Iron Monro
knocking him backwards.
The monster seemed to howl with rage as he extended his bone claws and
sliced through Kirk DePaul AKA the Manhunter like he was nothing but a
piece of paper. Bringing his claws up they dripped with blood as he
chose his next target.
Star Spangled Kid and Stripsey began to attack as one. As Star kept him
distracted for a moment Stripsey would hit the monster with everything
he had. At one point if someone would to listen carefully they could
hear the bones in Stripsey's hand begin to break with the final hit.
When he tried to hit him once more Doomsday caught him by the arm and
then grabbed him by the other arm and easily ripped him in half.
Spinning around quickly he nailed Star Spangled Kid with half of
Stripsey's torn bloody body.
The Ray flew high and created a construction of light to hold the
monster Doomsday. At least that was supposed to be the plan until the
creature shattered the light construct like it was nothing. Using the
other bloody half of Stripsey the unstoppable beast threw it at the Ray
with enough force that when it hit it knocked the young hero to the
ground. Just as he was about to deliver Ray a death blow Doomsday was
tackled to the ground by both Bane and Amazing Man.
The two power houses each took turns pounding on Doomsday’s
face for a couple minutes before the monster ripped the tubes attached
to Bane’s head and then shoved his spikes into his chest. As
Amazing Man was shocked for a moment Doomsday took the opening and cut
the large hero's legs from underneath him.
“ARRGGHHH!!” Amazing Man screamed as he crashed to
the ground bleeding to death from his severed limbs.
Once they had an opening the other members of the teams began opening
fire on the behemoth with Halos force blasts, Captain Cold's freeze
blasts, and Livewire's electrical blasts. The three repeated the
attacks over and over again as Sam and Iron Monro both seemed to come
back to the land of the conscious.
“That boy sure knows how to pack a wallop,” Sam
said shaking his head. “God o’mighty.”
Looking around the area Sam and Iron saw many of their friends and
comrades laying on the ground dead and broken. A tear could be seen
falling down Sam’s face as he stared at everyone lying around
him.
“We have to do something about this thing Iron,”
Sam said staring at Doomsday with hatred in his eyes.
“I might have an idea but, it’s kind of a dangerous
one,” Iron commented as he used his link to the
team’s teleporter Lilith. “Lilith I want you to
bring Geoffrey here.”
We’re
on the way.
“Whose Geoffrey?” Sam asked a little curious about
Monro’s plan.
“His name is Geoffrey Thibodeux. He was a simple man until
Desaad started playing around with his genetic structure. He changed
the poor man from a small framed man into a very large
weapon,” Iron Monro replied as he explained about Geoffrey.
“He has the ability to control gravity. An ability
we’re about to put to the test.”
As he finished the teleporter known as Lilith appeared with a very
large black man in tow.
“What can I do for you brothers?” asked the large
man named Geoffrey.
“It’s time for you to play your part in the plan
Geoff,” Iron Monro replied pointing to the monster named
Doomsday. “Let us get everyone to a safe place and then do
your thing.”
“I knew this was going to happen sooner or later
brother,” Geoffrey said as he watched Doomsday being kept off
guard by the energy assaults.
“Psimon alert the others. We have to get out of
here,” Sam ordered.
Everyone fall back to a safe point quickly. Psimon said through his
telepathy. Halo we need you to use one of your stasis beams to hold him
for a few minutes.
Switching her aura from orange to green. Targeting Doomsday Halo fired
the stasis beam that hit Doomsday freezing him in his place.
As everyone moved to a safe distance Sam and Iron watched as Geoffrey
drew his arms back and then slammed his hands together creating a
extremely powerful gravitational pull towards him.
As the force of the gravity pull began to increase the monster named
Doomsday slowly began to break free from the stasis beam. Once he was
finally free he found himself being pulled towards Geoffrey. The
monster tried to move in the opposite direction from Thibodeux, but no
matter how hard he tried he couldn’t fight the force of
Geoffrey’s powers.
“The young man seems to have a fair control of his power but
how is that going to help us stop the monster once and for
all?” Sam asked as they watched Doomsday struggle against
Geoffrey’s powers.
“That’s where this baby comes in,” Iron
replied taking a mother box from a pouch on his belt. “Himon
discovered somethin he called a black hole some distance from this
planet. He amped up the power in this mother box in order to take the
monster here close enough to it so he can be sucked into.”
“So why bring Geoffrey into all this?”
“We both knew that there was no way for us to get that big
fella into the Boom Tube,” Iron explained as he prepared the
mother box for activation. “Geoffrey’s powers over
gravity made him the perfect weapon against the monster. He can take
Doomsday into the Tube and make sure he gets into the black
hole.”
“But that’ll mean he’ll have to sacrifice
himself,” Sam said before realizing that was part of the
plan. “You can’t ask him to do something like that
Iron. We’ve lost too many soldiers today as it is.”
“Geoffrey knows what he has to do. He made the choice to do
this for the good of everyone,” Iron Monro stated as he
activated the Boom Tube.
BBBOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once the Tube was open Geoffrey began to move himself and Doomsday
backwards into the open portal into space. Doomsday struggled with
everything he had until finally he used the jagged bone spike at the
end of his elbow and shoved them both into the sides of Geoffrey. Not
being able to fight through the pain Geoffrey let go of Doomsday who
then slowly began to move away from Geoff.
“I need your help Thunder,” Clay Face said as he
began to transform into something that could be thrown at Doomsday.
“I know you probably don’t want to do this but I
need you to grab hold and give me all you’ve got
kid.”
“But Matt you’ll be sucked in with them,”
Thunder said as Matt Hagan wiped a tear from her face.
“This monster has to be stopped no matter what
kiddo,” Clay Face said putting his large hand on her shoulder.
“You heard the man Thunder,” Sam said looking from
Clay Face to Doomsday who was slowly making distance from the Boom
Tube. “It has to end here.”
Anissa Pierce also known as Thunder smiled for a moment as she grabbed
the end of Clay Face and began to spin around as fast as she could.
When she had enough velocity she released and sent her teammate flying
towards their target.
Just as he had planned Clay Face sailed towards Doomsday with the help
of Thunder. Using the speed and velocity combined with
Geoffrey’s gravity powers Clay Face transformed himself fully
into a large solid hammer and knocked Doomsday, Geoffrey, and himself
into the Boom Tube.
The remaining members of all three teams watched as the Boom Tube
closed taking the monster and two of their friends with it. They all
said a silent prayer for everyone that lost their lives during the
battle with the monster Doomsday and when they were finished they stood
together as one combined team.
“So what do we do now?” Captain Cold asked saddened
by the day’s events.
“We fight on lad,” Sam replied. “The war
against Darkseid isn’t over yet. There’s going to
be plenty of battles until the end. But for now we bury our dead and
treat our wounded. Then we face a new day and pray that we can make as
much a difference as the men and woman who died here today
did.”
What the gathered group of heroes didn’t know is that the
final battle would be coming sooner then anyone had expected. For
Darkseid, god of death and destruction had found the one thing he had
been looking for since his creation.
The Anti-Life Equation!
