Chapter 8

Chris/Superman pov

Chris was now in the air viewing down at the ground troops that were killing people in New York, so after formulating the best plan of attack, he flew down to face them head-on.

Third person pov

Terry Labe was on the field with her cameraman, at first she was stuck on a boring story of a newly opened pet shop, but then the aliens came, and being the reporter she was, she took the opportunity to have her big break, Curtis, her cameraman was pointing the camera at her as she was saying, "this is Terry Labe from CBS news, in what seemed to be a span of seconds the earth came under the attack of this mysterious visitors from outer space, we don't exactly know what have we done to provoke their wrath, or even who this enemy of them that we are harboring is, but as the Quarth had declared, today seems to be our last day."

Just then Terry saw a shadow above her, and Curtis was looking up in fear, she slowly turned around and saw one of the alien's mechanized units toppling above her, and his canon arm was aimed at her.

She froze in her place, for what else could she have done? She had no way of outrunning that weapon, so she just closed her eyes and silently prayed for god to have mercy on her soul.

Just before the mecha could fire though, she felt a sudden rush of wind, and the sound of something powerful impacting it, and metal being torn apart.

Against her better judgment, she opened her eyes and saw something unbelievable, there he was, a man clad in red and blue looking every bit the part of him, and suddenly, she remembered the urban legend that started to pop up around a mysterious figure operating from the shadows, all the while being dressed like superman.

And then he turned toward them, and she saw the emblazoned 'S' on his chest, and the red trunks on him, and knew for a fact that it was him.

She quickly caught herself, turned to Curtis her cameraman, and said, "make sure you catch it all." And then she turned to the colorfully clad man and asked, "Who are you?"

He was just busy finishing off the unit by melting it to slag using his heat vision, and when he turned to her, his eyes red glow died down, and they became sapphire blue, and he smile at them and just said, "I'm hear to help, tell the world that if they will be willing, please hang on to hope a little bit longer."

And with that, he bent down and flew off to the sky at break neck speeds.

Terry was quick to capitalize on the situation and said, "ladies' and gentlemen, it seemed the Superman urban legend had just been proven true, and as you all witnessed, he means us no harm, so hang on to hope because superman is here to save the day!"

And deep down, she started to feel hopeful about the situation.

Dave/Green Lantern pov

Dave was making his way from the fortress to New York, he was reveling in the feeling of flying on his own, free as a bird, if he was honest, he always envied his brother for being able to do this, but now he as well possessed this ability.

He was so excited that he let out a big yell, "woooo hpoooo!!!! This is awesome!!!!!" he yelled loudly as he was above the ocean.

Just then Dave noticed something swimming under him and keeping up, but he knew it was impossible, at the speeds he was going, no mere animal could keep up with him at the state he is flying right now.

Just then he saw a figure breaking out of the water and briefly hanging in the air, and Dave's eyebrows rose up at the sight.

It was a human, or at least human adjacent, and he was wearing a green an bronze armor, and in his hand he was holding a weapon that he was not expecting,

He halted in mead air, hovering above the water, looking on with shock.

Just then he saw the man from before pup his head back out from the water and say, "excuse me, but would I correct to assume that you are heading for the land dwellers city known as New York?"

"Uhhh…. Yes? Hold on a minute… who are you? Or should I ask what are you?"

The figured was taken aback for a second, but then a realization appeared on his face and he said, "I am the pri- king of Atlantis, Kalthor son of Theseusion."

Dave noticed the quick correction and had to asked, "recently crowned?"

Kalthor just nodded his head and said, "yeah, the invaders took the life of my father, and then as the first in line, I had to take the throne."

Dave nodded his head in understanding and said, "I get, now you can come with me if you'd like." He said pointing his ring at him and he slowly started to form a bubble construct around the Atlantean.

Seeing this he quickly said, "no need, I can manage on my own, last one there is a rotten wale dong." He then quickly plunged himself back to the ocean a sped out towards New York.

"oh it is so on." Dave said and then he blasted himself forward, a wicked smirk on his face.

Now the world had felt a whole lot bigger with each passing moment.

Third person pov

in a small town in Norway a man and his son were walking together on the street, the boy was holding his toy in his hand, after begging profusely to his father, he finally agreed to get him a Thor action figure, resembling Chris Hemsworth's version of the character.

The boy was so giddy with joy that he only noticed the invasion happening around them, the sky were suddenly filled with strange looking ships at the sky.

The boy's father quickly grabbed him and took him to hide in an alley, he was shielding him with his body, hoping to spare him from seeing the carnage that was going around them, the boy however could still see people getting slaughtered by the weird-looking yellow aliens.

He then looked down at his new toy, and even though he was a good Christian boy who went to church every Sunday, at the moment he remembered watching the Avengers movie with his father, and seeing the superhero there fighting the invading alien force, he could only say one thing at that moment.

"Thor, redd oss!" and as he held his toy close to his chest, he saw a giant figure hulking on top of him.

Just then the already cloudy sky turned even darker and cloudier, and then several lightning bolts stuck down at several invaders, including the one on top of them.

As they looked on in shock, they noticed that right infront of them, a figure was crouched down, the boy could only see his back, which was draped in a red cape.

Just then the figure stood up, wavy red hair on display, red beard, and a winged helmet was on his head. In his right hand, a big shorthanded hammer was held, and the figure looked around before letting out a bellowing laugh, and then he spread his arms aside, letting his muscular physique, and called out, "rejoice! Mortals! For Thor the thunderer had joined this battle.

Just then one of the downed mechs whirled back to life, and then the boy saw it training his canon at the newcomer.

He couldn't help but yell out, "se opp!" the figure turned, but it was too late, the mech already fired his gun at the figure, completely destroying him.

The boy was saddened by this, and the aliens were about to return to the fight, but soon after that one of them was hit in the head and went down, he could see the hammer from before was the reason for that, but instead of falling to the ground, it changed direction midair, and flew back to the figures hand.

At the moment the boy had no doubts about this figure's identity, it was Thor, the famed mythical god of thunder. 

One of the mechs suddenly opened, revealing the alien inside it, he was massive yellow shell like skin, four green eyes, and a crown like horns protruding from it's head, it looked at the thunder god said, "no one will stop the Qurath, we will conquer this backwater plane-" suddenly his head had exploded in a show of blood and gore.

Looking back, the boy saw Thor calling back to his hammer, Mjolnir returned stained with the alien's blood.

Thor simply shook it off, then he said, "well, somebody just did."

Then the God turned to the boy and walked towards him.

The boy's eyes widen, he looked at his toy, and then at the God infront of him. The god seeing this smiled at him and said, "Do not fret child, Midgard always had a special place in my heart, I am here to help."

The boys eyes went wide, even though he was sure the god spoke English, he heard every word as if it was spoken in perfect Norwegian to him.

He was about to ask him something, but than the god's face scowled, and he turned away and started to walk off.

Then he took both his fingers and put them in his mouth and let out a loud whistle, one that the boy could swear reverberated for miles.

They waited four a moment, and then they saw something approaching them from afar, and as it got closer, the boy saw it, it was a flying carriage, and strapped to it were two massive goats, they soon landed next to the god, and the boy was awe struck at the sight.

Thor quickly climbed on top of the carriage, and as he settled in his place, he looked at the boy and winked before taking the harnesses and yelling, "heeyyya!" and he whipped the goats to move.

The whole town watched in awe as the god took of to the sky on top of his godly carriage, no doubt of his way to his next battle.

All the while the boy looked at his action figure in his hand, thinking to himself, I need to paint his hair red.

King Arthur pov, London

Arthur soon was out of the weird vortex Merlin had put him through, he looked around, seeing a city in ruins, he did not recognized this city, but if he knew his grandfather, he was here before, even if it was centuries ago.

He looked around and saw a tower with a giant, strange round thing on top of it.

After looking at it further, he realized it reminded him of the sun clocks his grandfather was so fund of.

He saw a man in armor of sorts, carrying a strange transparent shield. In his other hand he held a strange object of sorts, but judging by the man's appearance, Arthur guest he was a knight, and that must have been his weapon.

Arthur seeing him approached the man, "excuse me good sir, would you be so kind as to let me know what is this place?"

The knight looked at him and said, what is wrong with you man? Don't you have anything better to do than to dress up and go out to cosplay?"

Arthur had no idea what the knight meant and said, "I beg your pardon?"

The knight sighed and said, "look, just take some cover, I have enough of a Headache with London being invaded by aliens to worry about some nerd playing dress up in the middle of a bloody battle."

Just as Arthur was about to question that statement, he heard heavy footsteps approaching them, and then his eyes widen at the sight of a giant suit of armor, and he was aiming something at them.

The knight yelled out, "get down!" as he pushed Arthur out of the way, just in time for the giant to release a massive projectile of some sort the had hit the spot they were in just a second before.

Arthur looked at the knight next to him, both of them were panting heavily, he then said to him, thank you, brave knight, you have saved my life, what is your name?"

The knight looked at him and said, "I am no knight, I'm a police officer, name's Thomas Potter, and you can drop the act you know."

Just then, several demonic looking yellow creatures approached the giant in armor, and they said, "give up earthlings, your planet is doomed, as soon as you accept that, the faster and painless you'll die."

Arthur could not ignore these words anymore and said, "you know, I've died before, didn't really cared for it, so I'll make you a deal, why don't you leave, and I won't kill every last one of you lot?"

As he finished his sword was drawn, they looked at him for a second before they started to burst out laughing, "oh yeah? And how did you figure you would do that?

Arthur just looked at them for a moment and said, "like this." And he started to run forwards.

At first they just started to shoot him, but he quickly dodged every one of their shot, and then he approached the first one, and with one swing of Excalibur he quit literally disarmed his opponent, and with a show of orange blood splashed out of the creature's stumps, then the creature fell on its knees and roared in pain, so Arthur quickly put it out of its misery with one swing to his neck.

After that he made quick work of the other creatures, the giant was aiming his arm at them, and then Arthur heard a shout, and he saw Thomas running towards the giant and tackled him using nothing but his shield.

He had hit the giant in the leg, and it didn't do a thing, the giant just looked down at him, Arthur though quickly took advantage of the distraction and had thrown his sword at it's head, as it hit, Arthur saw strange sparks and then the giant collapsed, as he let out a breath of relief he heard a massive hissing sound like steam being released, and to Arthur's surprise, he saw the giant's helm opening and another yellow demon was crawling out of it.

Arthur took out his dagger, and before the creature could make his way down, he threw it to his head, impaling it, the devil quickly fell down to the ground, Arthur made his way to it, and after he checked that it was indeed dead, he took out the dagger out, and walked away from the creature, leaving it in an orange pool of his own blood.

The giant frame had collapsed, leaving the sword stuck upwards. Arthur had put one of his feet on the helm, and then one hand on the handle of his sword and pulled it out.

Then he walked back to Thomas who was looking at him wide eyed and asked him, "how in the bloody hell did you do that?"

Arthur simply shrugged and said, "they ware tough, but in the end, Excalibur was the superior weapon." He emphasized the last part by showing him his sword."

The man's eyes widen in shock and he said, "wait, Excalibur? You're not saying what I think your saying?"

Arthur raised a brow at that and said, "well that depends, what do you think I am saying?"

"oh come on, you can't be him, you can't be…"

Arthur smiled and said, "Arthur pendragon at your service." He said as he put one of his hands on his chest plate and gave a short bow of his head.

Thomas was just shaking his head and said, "first aliens are invading, now bloody king Arthur is here, what's next? Superman will swoop down from the sky to save the day?"

Just as he said that they heard multiple massive footsteps approaching them, and then a bunch of those metallic giants approached them, and then Thomas prepared himself and asked Arthur, "ready for another round?"

Arthur smirked and said, "the question is, are you?" before Thomas could answer, a red and blue blur flew by them, Arthur was shocked, one moment he saw massive metallic giants, and the next they were being torn apart, and were being reduced to molten slag, the source of this anomaly surprised Arthur even more.

It was a man, with jet black hair, a red and blue leotard much like a court jester, and he had a big red cape on his back, and as he stood up, Arthur saw a strange insignia on his chest, in a red diamond shape, was a red letter 'S' emblazoned, with a yellow background.

Then he heard Thomas behind him, "me and me big mouth, I should have asked for a million quids instead."

Arthur ignored him and just looked at the man who single handedly took out all those metallic giants, and the man approached him as well and he seemed to be taking a pause as if he was scanning him for something, then he smirked and said while raising his hands in the air, and said, "I am not here to hurt you ok? So can you drop that sword please? I don't think it would do none of us any good."

Arthur looked at him for a moment, and then at the melted slag behind him, and he lowered his blade.

The man sighed in relief and said, "now this is much better." He then put his hand on his chest and said, "I'm… Superman," Arthur caught the pause in the man's speech, as if he was resigning himself to a fate he tried to avoid.

then Superman spoke again, "and who might you be?" Arthur had put and armored hand on his chest and said, "I am Arthur Pendragon, at your service." At that, Arthur noticed the man's eyes widening and he asked, "you mean… THE Arthur pendragon?"

Arthur heard Thomas behind him saying "the very one and the same, I had the same reaction a few moments ago mate."

"well… it seems that you have the situation here under control for now, so I'll leave you to it, believe it or not, I need to coordinate with other heroes the decided to pup up at this time of crisis to save the day, so if you'll excuse me." He said that as he walked off, he crouched down a launched himself to the air.

Arhtur looked at the sight with awe in his eyes, but then he returned himself to reality.

He turned his head to look at his new ally, at his current condition, he wouldn't survive the battle ahead, so he said to him, MR. Potter, if you would please take a knee?"

The knight, or police officer as he said he was looked at him weirdly, and then asked, "why? What are you planning on doing?"

Arthur just smiled and said, "if you are going to fight alongside me, I believe you would need a greater weaponry and armament , so if you would trust me, take a knee."

Thoms let out a sigh and did as he told, and Arthur held Excalibur in his hand and said, "Thomas Potter, for your unrivaled bravery you have showed in battled, and protecting your king, I will bestow upon you the honor of knighthood." Then he tapped his shoulders and then the top of his head and said, "arise, sir Thomas of house Potter." And as he did so, the armor he was wearing started to change, to look more like that of a knight, and his shield changed as well, it still the same size, but now was made of metal instead of whatever material it was made before, and the strange stick he was holding before, was now a sword fit for a knight.

He looked at himself with awe and said, "waw… what am I supposed to tel the logistic department that happened to the gear they gave me?"

*CHRIS/ SUPERMAN POV-BACK AT NEW YORK*

He was back at new York, he fought off a massive squad of invaders that came at him and Peter, who managed to join the fight after saving as Manny civilians as possible, including funnily enough, Stan Lee, who said excelsior as he saw him save him and his wife.

Chris heard all that from peter as they were fighting the mechs that were coming at them from all sides, but then Chris noticed something that sent chills down his spine, there was a school bus filled with children the they hadn't Had the chance of evacuating, the one of the mechs was aiming his canon at them.

"no no no no!" Chris was shouting as he knew he wouldn't be able to make it, at the rate he was being swarmed, but just when the mech started to fire, and he thought it would be too late, he saw something that made his jaw drop.

It was a massive green energy shield that wrapped itself around the buss, completely protecting it from the gatling fire from the mech.

But what interested Chris was the green energy, it was almost like…

"green lantern reporting for duty." He heard his brother's voice all of a sudden, and he looked up, and sure enough, there he was, still clad in his green lantern outfit, only now he had a functioning power ring.

How in the hell did you..?" Chris started to ask, but was cut off by his older brother who said, "long story, I'll brief you in later, now I have brought a friend to help."

Just then, Chris' super hearing piked up sounds of crashing waves from the bay area, and he turned to Dave- green lantern and asked, "don't tell me… Aquaman?"

His brother took a moment and said, "yeah I guess you could say that, though I think he is more like Namor the sub mariner."

Just then Peter interjected by yelling, "that is all well and good, but can you please help us not being swarmed over here please!!!!"

"oh, sorry about that…" Dave said with a sheepish green, and then proceeded to take the buss somewhere safe.

After that he returned quickly and said, "I think this should help, as he created a giant force field that pushed everyone he didn't want outside of it, and in that case, it was the Quarth.

Peter was now leaning his hands on his knees, panting heavily, it was obvious how desperately he needed to catch his breath.

Just then the noticed something odd, the soldiers and the mechs started to move their heads to the side, as if it was being hit by something.

Just then they heard a voice yell out, "let me in! I'm an ally!" and all three of them quickly recognized the voice, and Dave did make a small opening in the force field and a red blue and white blur came rushing inside.

The first thing Chris noticed when he came inside was the shieled in his hand, of course it wasn't made from Vibranium like in the comics, but a metallic shield was better than nothing, and the man himself was dressed in a functioning looking costume of the titular hero, instead of a leotard body suit version, complete with red army boots to add to the functionality of it all.

And as the man stood up, they recognized him, it was David Clark, now dressed in a captain America outfit, and he just said, "I'm here to help out."
