Battle With Darkseid (2/2)

{Superman POV}

We all stood, looking at Darkseid in shock, how couldn't we when the US army was destroyed by Darkseid's Omega beams? Beams that locked onto a target, and moved so fast that they easily caught up to the jets, destroying them along with those inside. 

"I am entropy. I am death. I am... Darkseid." Darkseid said while landing before us... I can smell the cruelty coming off this being, a being who didn't value life. I froze, knowing this being was above even the likes of myself.

"Stand back and watch the light show, Green Lantern got this." The Green Lantern said as cocky as ever. He shot forward. Using his ring, his willpower took the shape of a giant fist which slammed into Darkseid's face... just to shatter.

Darkseid's arm moved, grabbing Green Lantern's head, and aiming to crush it. Flash being the fastest reacted first, running forward to try and help his friend, with me following behind... yet with a wave of his hand, Flash was sent flying away along with Green Lantern who had blood raining down his nose. It was clear Darkseid's grip wasn't gentle.

Darkseid moved, trying to grab me, normally I would take on all forms of danger knowing nothing could hurt me... but today, I knew I couldn't take on Darkseid with such a mindset. I dodged and moved in to punch Darkseid, although my punch had more effect than Green Lantern, all I did was move his head to the side.

I quickly tried to follow up with a punch, but I was punched hard into the ground, nearly knocking me out... I never felt such pain before, I guess this is what it would feel like to be hit by a train.

Wonder Woman moved quickly, just in time to save me from another blow. She used her lasso which seemed to be unbreakable, wrapping Darkseid up. But was Darkseid alone? The Parademons hit her when she wasn't paying attention, sending her slamming hard into the ground, Darkseid took hold of the Lasso which she didn't let go of, pulling her in for a fist, luckily for Wonder Woman, Shazam saved her by flying inwards with a punch.

Shazam was shockingly near my strength, but that wasn't enough as he only drew Darkseid's attention. I moved, attacking Darkseid just for him to dodge my blow, grab my cape, and slam me into Shazam.

Cyborg wanted to move in to help... but he was horrified seeing all of us getting defeated. Darkseid looked coldly at everyone, mainly Batman who didn't step in at all because he knew he was out of his league.

I was held by my cape, slowly turning towards an ally away where a red-haired man came walking out. This man had the physique of the gods, godly level charm which was not of this mortal world.

I looked at him, too weak to do anything, wondering just who he was.

"You are all used to working alone, so the concept of teamwork is new to you all..." He said lightly while holding a sword and shield in each hand. With a step, he shot forward, his movement so hard to read, that it left behind after images.

It wasn't that he was fast, his body worked weirdly together in such a way, leading to the sight of the human brain being unable to read such movement. I wasn't alone as even Darkseid was caught off guard, Darkseid reacted too late as the man appeared before him, the sword stabbing into his eye, causing Darkseid to cry in pain while letting me go.

We all watched as the man punched Darkseid, a fist that didn't carry power, but simply the force needed to push Darkseid backward using the fact he was off balance at the moment.

He picked up his sword which he had dropped, and calmly turned to look at all of us,

"Hurry up and get up, today you shall all learn the power of teamwork." He said while stepping to the side, smoothly dodging all of Darkseid's attacks, before jumping into the air while turning his body, just in time to block the omega beams that shot at him using the Shield he had. he was sent flying backward, but he landed smoothly on his legs,

"Wonder Woman, you're mainly a close-range fighter, you would join me. Flash you would act as the distraction. Cyborg, you focus on seeing if you can use that device to send them back home. Superman and Shazam, you're our heavy hitters, we will buy you the opening and you will move in. Batman, you help any way you see how." He said while stepping forward to face Darkseid, who glared at him with a burning hatred.

"And who are you to order us around?" Green Lantern said while getting up, using his Lantren ring to heal himself.

"He is right," Batman said to which the Redhead smirked at him before he ran forward to fight.

"Then, let's go! To Victory!" Wonder Woman roared before joining the redhead, Darkseid moved to crush the redhead, just for the flash to flash landing countless blows on Darkseid. This left Darkseid open to the redhead. Darkseid had to act on instinct to combat the redhead, but this left Wonder Woman free to attack Darkseid, sending Darkseid to one knee.

This allowed Shazam to fly in, slamming a hard fist into Darkseid's face, and sending him up. Darkseid wasn't given a chance to react, as I appeared, slamming my fist hard into his face, followed by my eyes glowing red as I shot my heat vision into his eyes, 

Darkseid roared in pain, he moved to grab me, just for a lasso to move, binding him, followed by me and Shazam punching him hard, slamming him into the ground. Green Lantern appeared, shooting a huge beam at Darkseid and keeping him down.

"How is it going?" The redhead asked Cyborg while looking at the sight of us working together, giving Darkseid zero chances to react. Cyborg was currently connected to the Mother box using what looked like tentacles, 

"I need a signal," Cyborg said before bursting into the sky, his arm turning into a weapon that killed the Parademons that neared. The Redhead sat down, his sword moving smoothly to kill any Parademons that neared without him having to look or do much, It was like his arm had a will of its own.

"What are you doing?" Batman asked looking at the Redhead who was just sitting back, studying everyone.

"Don't worry about me, go help your friends. I will leave you as the team leader." He said while getting up and walking off, slaying all Parademons that dared to near with scary ease...

Batman's eyes narrowed watching him walk off, but he didn't stay for long as he went on to join the battle.

With all of us working together, Darkseid didn't have the time to counterattack, his Parademons tried to come in and help him, but we moved around, working together to take them down while keeping Darkseid too busy to do anything else.

Darkseid Omega beams were powerful, but he couldn't fire them with us always getting in the way of him using them. Either my fist would force him to stop, Shazam lightning to his eyes would, or even Wonder Woman would shield us from them. We had this in the bag, it only got hard for us when Shazam moved to support Cyborg and the others, leaving us behind to have to push Darkseid into the boom tube that opened. 

As for what a boom tube was, well it was a portal used by Darkseid to reach Earth, it had a lot of ability yet to be found by the mortals...

"Well, I didn't expect to see you so soon?" I said to Death who was currently working.

"I'm working right now... Oh, I just took the king of Atlantis, that might bring you some problems." Death said lightly, to which I frowned at her words.

"I see, I'm guessing you're not going to be nice enough to tell me where the half-blood is at," I said to which Death paused for a moment, before shrugging. The Half Blood would be the next king of Atlantis, someone I wanted to join the Justice League.

"No, I don't know. But he is most likely near the sea," She said with a shrug, not knowing the information. I sighed at her words knowing she didn't use her Omniscient, before going on to start thinking of how I would deal with this matter.

"His name is Arthur, I forgot the last name. Well, I got to get going." Death said while heading off, I sighed while thanking her. She gave me more than enough help, I looked toward Superman and the others, and seeing as they had sent Darkseid away, I teleported back home...

And so the war against Darkseid ended as soon as it started, Superman and the other heroes stayed up all night, working on helping those who needed help. Luckily, not many people lost their lives since the Parademons were capturing people to turn them into other Parademons, even so, that didn't mean millions were not turned into those monsters.

But the world united in time of need, and the video between the heroes vs Darkseid spread around the world, leading to many people thanking the heroes they once feared. For the first time since ever, the world came to understand that the heroes were not all so bad, seeing them put their lives on the line to combat that demon showed the world just that.

Those group of heroes went on to be thanked personally by the president of the US before a crowd the following week. Superman, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Shazam, Green Lantern, and Cyborg all stood... and so the Justice League took its first step to being formed. Sadly, the group had other ideas...
