Apokolips war

Ahh, Apokolips.

What can I say. Seeing it from space in real life was completely different from seeing it through a comic book. I mean I could practically feel the heat from all the way here, miles away from the planet.

As we reached the planet's atmosphere, the monarch signaled for all of us to stop. We all complied, waiting for the monarch's signal to continue our charge.

I did not understand why we had to wait. Couldn't we just charge into the planet? Isn't that what Saiyans do? Sigh, I don't know I'm not an army general or even a soldier, just a highschool chemistry teacher.

"Hey, why are we waiting?", I whispered to the friendly Saiyan. He merely glanced at me with a look of confusion.

"How the hell did you get promoted to Sergeant first class? Anyway, just wait you'll see" he explained, leaving me still confused.

"Wait, for wha-", suddenly I heard the noise.

"Skreeeeeee", a loud thunderous screech resounded through the atmosphere, shaking me in my armor. I quickly took off my helmet in order to get a better look at what was making that noise.

It was just a gigantic mass of demons flying straight for us from the planet's surface. All were making that horrible noise. Their unorganized formation and sheer size made them look like locusts, as if they would drain as dry by simply passing through us.

"Skreeeee", they all screamed with that deafening cry. How the hell are we supposed to deal with those numbers? All of us Saiyans combined would probably only equate to 10,000 soldiers, while these demons had almost billions.

"Soldiers! FIRE!", the monarch ordered. Suddenly, everyone launched ki blasts at the incoming horde. Looking down, I was mesmerized by the brilliant lights that revealed themselves. The planet's atmosphere became a mass of red, blue, purple, yellow, and green energy followed by the shrill cries of the disintegrating parademons.

"Soldiers! Charge!", cried the monarch commanding the entire army to push forward.

I could only gawk at the full might of the Saiyans. In just a few seconds, billions of parademons were reduced to dust. No wonder, they were so arrogant. Wait? Were they arrogant in this universe? Sigh, where are the memories when I need them.

Shaking away these thoughts, I followed the rest of the Saiyans to the surface of the planet.

There it was. Apokolips, home of Darkseid, in all its glory. A raging inferno fueled by the despair of billions, littered with industrial waste and hastily built buildings.

As I looked around at the apocalyptic planet in awe, I was suddenly attacked by parademons. I was jumped by four parademons, all attempting to clawing away my skin and unfortunately for me I did not have superman-level durability.

"Aaaargh", I groaned in pain as a parademon dug its claws into my back. One was currently clinging to my back, while three others were attacking my front, biting at my legs and arms.

I quickly grabbed the head of the parademon attacking my back and used its hardened body to smack away the parademon directly in front of me, thus freeing my left arm. Crushing the head of the parademon I had used as a bat, I twisted the neck of another parademon, instantly killing it. Without even a moment's hesitation, I desperately grabbed the final parademon and brutally tore it in half.

I groaned in disgust as its green blood landed on me. It was surprising to kill for the first time. I had fully expected to throw up in disgust or get a sick feeling in my stomach, however I had suffered no such thing. In fact, the only emotion I felt was calm even when I looked at all the carnage in front of me.

BOOM

An area the size of a city had just been reduced to rubble by a fellow Saiyan, yet I did not feel any fear from it. Perhaps it was because of my Saiyan physiology? Perhaps the Saiyan instincts that had been built-in to this body was influencing my mind, like an inferior version of the Gamer's Mind ability? Saiyan's Mind?

Whish!

I rapidly tilted my head, in order to avoid whatever object was thrown at me and not a second too late. I could feel the blood dripping from my cut on my cheek, from the earlier attack. I had been to focused on other thoughts, that I failed to notice the thrown weapon until it was only seconds away from my face.

"Tch, to think you managed to dodge that. I must commend you, Saiyan", I heard a gruff voice coming from behind me. Whipping around, my eyes met with a gigantic man. He was quite easily 7 feet tall, completely eclipsing my own height, which seemed to range around 5'11" to 6'0". He had black hair all over his face, like a lion's mane, and was covered by green armor from head to toe.

"I am Kalibak, son of Darkseid", spoke the man in a prideful tone, before he readied his weapon.

For a second there I thought it was another new god, thank god(lol) it was just his dumbass son. Wasn't this guy getting wrecked by batman of all people?

Kalibak fired his weapon, shooting a red beam right at me. However now that I was aware of it, I easily dodged the beam. Using my wings to propel myself forward, I punched Kalibak directly at his face. The sheer power of the punch resulted in a sonic boom, before Kalibak was sent flying back.

"Whoa!", I exclaimed in admiration of my newfound strength.

"Damn you, Saiyan", the angered Kalibak stepped out of the burning wreck, wiping away blood from his nose. Although, his nose was little bent there was otherwise nothing wrong with his face.

'I guess this is going to take longer than I thought'.

Kalibak bumrushed me, before sending a right hook at my face. I ducked, narrowly avoiding the fist before tackling him. Unfortunately for me Kalibak was much heavier than I expected, he grabbed my torso before kneeing me multiple times. Managing to block all of the blows, I used a small Ki blast to get me out of his grip.

I flew back a short distance away from Kalibak, and sent out multiple miniature Ki blasts straight at him. The ground began to break apart, and dust filled the air. I ended the volley, unfortunately I already knew that Kalibak was still alive even after all that.

Kalibak again rushed at me, sparing no time to think, however I used my wings to propel me into the air and dodge him once again. We started to exchange blows, with me continually punching his armor in an attempt to break it as well as blocking his fists with my wings.

How was I able to contend with such a powerful opponent when I had just arrived in this world? Well, it was combination of my Saiyan instincts, powerful body, and a little extra something.

'When he blocks with his wing, I'll send a kick his way', thought Kalibak as his punch was blocked by my wings. He attempted kick my seemingly vulnerable stomach, however I easily blocked it with my calf.

Yea, that's right baby: mindreading. I was reading Kalibak's mind and simultaneously copying and analyzing his movements. That when coupled with the natural genius that is Broly, allowed me to rapidly improve throughout the fight. Going from a man who had never fought a day in his life, to contending with Darkseid's second-in-command. Although, I did have to admit that Kalibak wasn't exactly the best fighter, constantly using the same attack pattern over and over.

As Kalibak continued to punch me, however I had enough. Looking around, I could tell the Saiyans were winning this battle with most of Apokolips in flames. Even Granny Goodness and the furies had fallen to the might of our race. Darkseid will come and I will be majorly screwed.

I used wind pressure from my wings to mess up his focus, before emitting a Ki blast at point blank range. The surrounding area was completely vaporized by the energy bomb, however I managed to come out unscathed thanks to protecting my body with Ki. However the same could not be said for Kalibak, his armor had been destroyed and he was now lying unconscious inside the crater.

To think my control over Ki would increase so much over the course of the battle. Saiyans really are cheats!

I decided to keep Kalibak alive for now. I owe him one for helping me grow stronger, and if I did kill him I would probably gain the anger of Darkseid. Something that I did not need right now.

"Good on you soldier! You have done the empire proud!", came a voice from above. Looking up, there was a male Saiyan wearing full white armor, that glistened in the dark background of Apokolips. His Ki was radiated a pure, white light that signified divinity, in stark contrast to my own which was merely chaotic energy.

"My lord!", I instinctively bowed. The monarch had arrived, in tow with the remains of the Saiyan army that had invaded the planet. It seemed like the battle was almost over, with the only thing remaining was to gather everyone up and storm the castle.

"What is your name soldier!", the monarch asked.

"Ah-um, i-its Rhubie, sir", I answered.

"Well, Rhubie. Have you realized that you have just defeated the prince of this planet", the monarch informed, of course I already knew this information.

"N-no, sir. It is quite surprising"

"Well it seems a promotion is in order"Wow, I thought the monarch would be like DBZ Vegeta. I guess he is a bit more humble.

Our conversation was interrupted by a loud explosion, followed by a deep, menacing voice.

"WHO DARES INVADE MY PLANET!".

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.

"So the coward has finally arrived", laughed the monarch. I quickly turned around in order to get a better look. There he was in all of his glory. If I thought Kalibak was huge, this one was like a titan. He was wearing a large, blue armor and his arms were crossed behind his back. His darkened skin and red eyes that were infused with the omega effect made him look like a literal embodiment of fear.

Darkseid, the ruler of Apokolips and true incarnation of evil had finally arrived.
