Arnold vs Darkseid 3

[Arnold POV]

I looked on as a 7ft tall biblical angel on steroids appeared between me and Darkseid. It was a towering, muscular humanoid figure with four wings protruding from its eye sockets and a tail-like appendage extending from the back of its head. Hovering just above this was a large eight-handled wheel. It also sported black hakama bottoms and a white sash around its waist to cover most of its lower body.

"A new trick of yours? It doesn't matter. All shall still fall before Darkseid." he said.

Darkseid then approached Mahoraga, and Mahoraga quickly turned hostile, launching its fist at Darkseid, hitting him square in the jaw. Darkseid was still undeterred, and he hit back, much harder and Mahoraga went flying, crashing straight into a wall.

Mahoraga got back up, as the wheel above him rotated once and he rushed back punching Darkseid in the gut, only this time, with enough force to send him tumbling to the ground before stabbing at him with his blade. However, since Darkseid was not a curse, it seemed to have little effect on him, other than seriously pissing him off.

Darkseid once again punched Mahoraga straight in the jaw, creating some distance before continuing to hammer away at him with punches and kicks. This lasted for a good minute, before the wheel above Mahoraga rotated again. Mahoraga suddenly grabbed Darkseid's fist, before grabbing his head with his other arm and throwing him into a wall.

Darkseid got back up before tackling Mahoraga, and the Shikigami retaliated by using his blade to slash at Darkseid forcing him to create distance between the two, as Mahoraga rushed forward using cursed energy to enforce his blade, before hacking away at Darkseid's left arms causing it to bleed heavily. Darkseid didn't just take this blow, instead using his right arm to stop Mahoraga from swinging his blade and then grabbed Mahoragas other arm as well, using his still bloody left arm, before delivering a powerful headbutt sending Mahoraga flying once more. As I watched this fight go on, I constantly thought to myself 'Come on, use it you asshole! Use the damn omega beams.'

So far Darkseid has taken all of Mahoraga's attention which allowed me to rest and think about my win conditions. I knew that if Mahoraga adapted to the Omega beams, I would definitely win. On the otherhand, if Mahoraga was killed by the omega beams, I would be undoubtedly fucked. Best case scenario would be me figuring out a way to get past Darkseid losing to Mahoraga and then me killing Mahoraga by using a Domain Expansion. But for that to happen Darkseid would need to lose which was unlikely.

But if Mahoraga could just adapt to the Omega beams, I'd be able to attack Darkseid with no worries. If he fired his omega beams at me I'd be able to switch in Mahoraga with «Boogie Woogie» at the last moment, making him tank the attack for me, ending my worries. That was the way I had initially hoped to win.

Unfortunately Darkseid seemed to have realised how Mahoraga functioned, and I don't know how. He was intentionally avoiding the use of Omega beams to not give Mahoraga an opportunity to adapt.

This led to a stalemate, which was really risky. The chances of winning right now we're 50/50. On one hand Cyborg and Batman configure the portal to enact their plan, sending Darkseid to the same shothole he came from, or my free trial ends, Mahoraga disappears and Darkseid kills all of us. This situation, combined with the fact that only 5 minutes of my free trial left, made me very nervous about my situation. Soon enough the situation changed, but not for the better.

Funnily enough, it seemed that my calculations didn't account for the most likely outcome. In a brilliant move, Darkseid grabbed Mahoraga's arm before ripping it off. He then used the blade attached to said arm and stabbed it straight through Mahoraga's face, ending the Shikigami.

Darkseid then looked at me, before saying in his rough voice "Do you have any tricks left, or shall we move to your final words?"

Not gonna lie, I was slightly shit-scared when I heard this. I mean holy shit, I threw every trumph card I had at this fucker and he's still standing. I mean, the power balance of this world is fucking broken.

Anyways I just sat there, terrified. Well I was scared until I noticed a tiny little detail about the room. Now, I'm usually a very composed guy but I gotta say, when I saw it, I burst out laughing.

"Kh,kHuhuuhu…. HAHAHAHAHAHA! WOOHOO!" I howled.

Confused by my actions, Darkseid concluded "It seems that you have lost your sanity. A pitiful way to die."

Hearing this, I calm down and speak up "Ah, you asked me if I had any more tricks right? Well, let's just say we have one final trick. A team effort this time. Cyborg! HIT THE PORTAL!!!"

"Cyborg! HIT THE PORTAL!!!"

As Nostradamus says these words, a portal suddenly forms behind Darkseid and begins to suck him in. Although Darkseid appeared confident in front of Nostradamus when he defeated Mahoraga, he was exhausted due to fighting the entire Justice league as well as Nostradamus and Mahoraga. This exhaustion showed when he was pulled towards the portal, as he was too weak to resist and could only be helplessly sucked into the vortex of energy which pulled him in.

And as he was desperately fighting off the attractive force of the portal, he was too busy to notice his enemy, Nostradamus slowly limping towards him.

Darkseid still desperately tried to resist, now half inside the portal. He grabbed the seams of the portal, where the portal was ripping a hole in space time itself, with his bare hands as he held on with every last bit of strength still remaining in his body.

Soon one of his hands gave out, as it was injured in his fight with Mahoraga, leaving him hanging on with just one hand. As he lay there suspended, constantly being forcefully pulled through the portal, he looked ahead, only to see Nostradamus standing in front of him.

He looked on helplessly, as the man he had begun to feel an incomprehensible amount of hatred for, despite only knowing him for a few minutes,spoke up "Yo! I'm at my limit so listen up buddy. This next attack, I'm gonna put everything I've got into it. So when you get back to… whatever hole you hibernate in, just remember this. Remember this planet. Remember the humans that live on it. Remember who exactly fought for it. And most of all, remember the time you lost to a bunch of FOCKING MORTALS, YEAH!?"

As he said this, Darkseid felt a deep stinging pain on his right arm as his grip somehow slipped. This caused him to fall fully into the portal, as his hand hit his face. It was then that he realised that his arm had been cut off. He began to scream, as his vision turned white and he was teleported to his world.

"We did it!" I screamed as I watched the portal close. We had won. No Leo or John required. Fuck YES! OH I AM SO GOING TO BRAG ABOUT THIS.

I then heard a voice. It was Batman "We need to go. This place is going to be sent back to the planet it came from in 4 minutes, along with everyone on it as well as

every parademon on the planet."

I was baffled by this statement. I asked Batman why he didn't set a longer timer "Why can't you teleport it a bit later? And how does it teleport every parademon on the planet anyways?"

Batman just stared at me, while Cyborg answered my questions "We made the timer this short to make sure no one would have time to reconfigure the ships computers and stop the teleportation process. And all the parademons and executives have coordinate trackers on them, so the computer knows where they are at all times. I've removed Mr. Miracle and Barda from the ship's mainframe so the ship won't know where they are and it won't be able to portal them. But everything else as well as everyone that is still on the ship is programmed to be teleported to the invaders' home planet."

"Now, can we get out of here?" snarled Batman.

"Yeah sure, It'd be my pleasure" I answered, glad to be finally getting out of here.

I look at Cyborg "So could you be so kind as to portal us out?"

"I'm on it!" Cyborg replied.

A couple seconds later, a portal appeared in the room. Batman and Cyborg grabbed two heroes each as I carried the remaining three and we walked through the portal, returning to Metropolis.
