Chapter 37 Crisis on two Earths
Up in space the heroes of the galaxy were working on one of Earth's new space weapons called the rail gun platform.
"Superman wheres that piece?" Sean asked.
"Hang on I'm almost there." Superman said as he carried a large piece of tech to the platform.
Wonder Woman was carrying a large piece of tech with ease before setting it down as it slides down below.
"Sean how much is all this costing?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Don't know Don't care." Sean said inserting some commands before the screen lite up with the Flash on the other end.
"You know the work would go faster if I was up there." Flash said.
"Hang on Barry I'm almost ready." Sean said adjusting the new device teleporter.
"I don't know Sean this seems pretty radical are you sure it will work?" Flash asked.
"Eh pretty sure." Sean said.
"Pretty sure? That isn't..." Flash tried to say before he vanished and appeared on the station. "Good enough." Flash finished before seeing he was on the Platform.
"Dude I was joking." Sean said getting a few gears to laugh.
"Yeah very funny." Flash said.
"So what does this thing do?" Dom asked.
"Think of it as a high speed cannon capable of destroying a Trade Federation blockade cruiser in one shot. This way we're not caught off guard again during the event of another invasion. I've already ordered several of these things to be built in orbit of every allied planet for protection." Sean said.
"With this much fire power I'd love to see someone try to get past this." Cole said.
"In the event someone does Sally has deigned a secondary protection protocol called the Energon grid which uses stored up Energon to make a large shield protecting the planet." Sean said.
"Your not taking chances are you." Marcus said helping Dom move some heavy tech.
"Would you if you knew the dangers in this universe?" Sean asked making him snort.
"Power supply is up at a hundred precent." Adam Fenix said.
"Docking bay is stable for oxygen." Baird said.
"At this rate I'd be shocked to see some arrogant moron try and take this planet a second time." Eiling said.
"Eiling don't say shit like that." Tom said.
"He's got a point you'll jinx us with talk like that." Sean said making Jinx glare at him. "Oh come on Jinx you know thats not what I meant." Sean said annoyed.
"So how many platforms are being built?" Dom asked.
"Three for now but more in time." Sean said inserting come commands into the console and the energy grid came online.
Superman outside was placing the needer shielding parts outside for the station when the group got an Alert.
"This is Superman go ahead." Superman said.
"We've got a problem. One of yours." Batman said.
"Great." Sean said annoyed.
Minutes later
Superman, Wonder woman and Sean made their way through a group of Gears and Swat team officers before they made it into a room where Lex Luthor was in and...Naked. (Seriously why the hell did they do that it was so disturbing)
"Ok this is awkward." Sean said.
"What do you think you're doing?" Superman asked.
"I've come to talk. As you can see I'm not armed." Lex said making Sean roll his eyes but sensed there was something different about Lex as did Superman who used his Xray Vision on him. "You're going to find what I have to say very difficult to believe." Lex said.
"Your from a parallel Earth." Superman said.
"How could you possible know that?" Lex asked surprised.
"Your internal Organs are reversed your heart is on the wrong side." Superman said.
"Not only that but his energy wave is different from our Luthor. Plus..." Sean said showing a security footage of now at Strikers island where Lex was in right now. "Our Lex is still in his cell." Sean said.
"And now that we've clarified the matter of my evil twin I've got quite a story to tell you." Lex said about to stand up but Superman stoped him.
"Pants." Superman said making him look down.
"Oh." Lex said.
Later
Sean and the others brought Lex to the Rail gun platform where the other heroes were gathered.
"My world is similar to yours in many ways but very different in others." Lex said.
"Oh wait let me guess on your Earth you're the leader of the Justice league." Baird said being a smart ass.
"Baird." Sean said annoyed.
"As a matter of fact, I was." Lex said surprising them all.
"Past tense." Adam said.
"I'm not just the leader of my world's Justice League. I'm its only surviving member. We were systematically destroyed by a group of superpowered beings known as Crime Syndicate." Lex said. "They've run rampant for years, doing whatever they pleased. They rule through fear occasionally turning their powers against the populace, just to remind us. In the hope of maintaining some minimal order the authorities simply pretend they aren't there. But increasingly they refuse to be ignored." Lex said.
"The Only thing that seems to be stopping them from fully taking over the government is this." Lex said showing a picture of SuperWoman with a little girl in her arms.
"Who's that?" Sean asked.
"That would be your Double ganger's daughter." Lex said surprising them. "Three years ago SuperWomen came to your counterparts office in order to intimidate him into the family however instead of that she got more intimate and got pregnant. Once she gave birth to Angel Kruger she simply stopped killing losing the will to kill anyone anymore out of fear of her daughter seeing her as a monster. This in turn has set back the Syndicate greatly but not enough. The only thing the Syndicate fears is a nuclear response. You people are my worlds last hope." Lex said making them all look around in the room before J'ohn approached Lex.
"We have to discuss this. Wait out here." J'ohn said leading him outside.
"I don't trust him." Superman said.
"Oh grow the fuck up." Sean said.
"He's not our Luthor." Reznov said.
"Still never met a Luthor I liked." Superman said.
"I've read his mind he's telling the Truth. Regardless we have a responsibility to the millions of people being oppressed on his world." J'ohn said.
"Look for all my power, when it comes down to it, I'm just a beat cop. There are rules. Another dimension may be out of our jurisdiction." Hal Jordan said.
"You guys didn't seem to mind when you helped us." Dom said.
"That was different we saw how bad you needed help and ended the war you had for 17 years." Batman said.
"I cant believe we're just talking about this of course we're going to help." Cole said getting many of the others to agree.
"Cole's right thats what we do." Superman said as a few of the others stood up.
"Not this time." Batman said.
"Why not?" Anya asked.
"We've got to much on our plate right now. We haven't even fully completed this station yet and we're still recovering from the Terrorcon invasion last week." Batman said.
"He's got a point on that." Sean said.
"Our responsibility is to protect the innocent no matter what Universe." Superman said.
"I never said we shouldn't. I just don't think this requires a full group response." Sean said.
"Any suggestions?" Iron Man asked.
"Since this Lex is the leader of his worlds Justice League I suggest we send in ours. Carter is busy with something else on Coruscant so Johnny Blaze will be leading the League till he gets back." Sean said.
"Is everyone else agreed on this?" Superman asked getting various nods.
"I'll stay here and help finish this station." Batman said.
Lex waited patiently outside till the doors opened and the Justice League including Johnny Blaze was on the other end.
"Alright Lex we'll help. But we'll need a plan." Johnny Blaze said.
"I have one of course." Lex said as they left.
Sean looked at the Earth as Batman approached.
"Something doesn't feel right. He didn't tell us something." Batman said.
"Probably for safety reasons. Doesn't matter though he needs help and he got it. I need to head back to the office to look at some files you keep working on the station." Sean said using the transporter to head back to Earth while Batman and the Gears stayed.
Hours later
After arriving on the Parallel Earth the Justice league had a run in with the Syndicate led by SuperWoman and Owl-man.
Lex and the League arrived at an abandoned toy factory before Luthor turned on the lights by voice.
"Love what you've done with the place." Flash said.
"It's not mine. It used to belong to a friend." Lex said.
"The Joker?" Superman asked.
"The Jester but pretty much the same person." Lex said.
"So what exactly are we up against?" HawkGirl asked.
"This." Lex said showing six people on a screen. "These are the big guns. The heads of the six. I should say, five families." Lex said as the Martian picture vanished. "Ultraman is the boss of bosses, but they all front formidable organizations. However like I said SuperWoman has been changing since she gave birth to her daughter three years ago." Lex said.
"Where do all those other superpowered guys fit in?" Johnny Blaze asked.
"Each of the family heads have thousands of criminals working under them. They reward their most trusted lieutenants by giving them superpowers. They're called Made men." Lex said.
"Cute. How many?" Wonder Woman asked.
"No more than seven or eight at a time. Perhaps 50, total. We'll conduct a series of attacks, coordinated by me. All of us will hit specific syndicate operations one after the other." Lex said.
"Thats a waste of time." Johnny said.
"I beg your pardon?" Lex asked confused.
"We don't have time to just hit one target at a time here we need to get this done and head back home. Heres the plan. We'll each hit multiple targets in groups. This way we don't waste time. Superman is with Lex. J'ohn with Flash and the rest of us will par off into different groups." Johnny said.
"We'd be hopelessly outnumbered." Lex said.
"You asked us for your help and we agreed but we never said we'd be following your lead." Johnny said making Lex sigh seeing it was a waste of time to be arguing.
Later
The League had indeed succeeded in destroying the Syndicates operations and managed to capture Ultraman but the President which shockingly enough was Slade Wilson also known as Deathstroke on Earth Prime. Slade had ordered the release of Ultraman out of fear of the Syndicate attacking civilians however the league wouldn't give up.
Meanwhile
SuperWoman smiled as she rubbed her daughter's head as she slept on her lap.
"She's always happier when your home." Parallel Sean said as he sat down next to her making SuperWoman smile and kissed him.
"So am I. I assume OwlMan sent you the schematics for Luthor's little toy he used to travel to the other Earth." SuperWoman asked making him frown.
"He's planning something. I really do not approve of this bomb you guys are building." Sean said making her sigh.
"Neither do I but OwlMan won the vote in the idea." SuperWoman said.
"In any event yes I got it and made some improvements." Sean said handing her the Device.
"What about the trigger?" SuperWoman asked.
"I've already located it. It's on the Earth Where Luthor brought his new Justice league. My advice bring some backup before you leave." Sean said making her grin before Angel yawned in her sleep making both Parents smile at her before Sean picked her up without waking her. "Don't worry she'll be here when you get back." Sean said making her smile before leaving to get her top Made Men.
Back On Earth Prime
Batman was outside the station inserting some tech outside to instal security sensors when he got an alert.
"Perimeter breach. Potential intruder alert." The computer said making Batman narrow his eyes.
"Figures just when Marcus and the others left." Batman said.
Inside SuperWoman and her three lieutenants arrived on the station.
"It's here find it." SuperWoman said as the three men known as the Supers looked for it. (They are known as Uncle Super Captain Super and Captain Super Jr which is really weird)
One of the doors opened making them look behind them and saw Batman in a Exo suit.
"Your on restricted property. Stand down." Batman said making SuperWoman roll her eyes.
"You're in over your head. Back off before I come over there and hurt you." SuperWoman said before he made a hand jester to come and fight making her sigh. "Alright don't blame me when your all broken and bruised." SuperWoman said as they charged at him. Batman was doing ok for a minute but then SuperWoman threw him into the wall into the next room. Batman got out of the suit and reached for the Transporter. "Stay down. You're outnumbered." SuperWoman said.
"Count again." Batman said activating the transporter and incase five heroes. Spider-Man, Spawn, Deadpool, Alex Mercer and Spectre.
"You guys are in so much trouble." Spider-Man said.
"Take them." Batman said as the group of heroes attacked the made men while SuperWoman went back looking for the Trigger. Batman followed her and found her holding the Quantum Trigger before attacking her only for her to defeat him. Two of her Made men were killed by Spawn and Spectre The last one rushed to her.
"Lets go." SuperWoman said as she activated the device to get back to their Earth when Batman got back up and ran after them and teleported to their Earth.
Later
OwlMan had managed to get back to Earth Prime so he could detonate a bomb that would destroy not only Earth Prime but every other Earth in existence.
"Time to make the most logical choice." OwlMan said.
"Think again." A dark voice said behind him before shoving his fist through his chest making OwlMan let out a silent pained scream before collapsing on the ground dead while the person deactivated his bomb. "This will come in handy during the final phases of my grand vision." The person said before it was revealed to be the Dark Rider.
With OwlMan dead and the Syndicate minus SuperWoman behind bars due to her actions for saving the world. The Parallel Earth was finally freed again and now officially allied with Earth Prime using the portals to travel between universes.
The Earth Prime Justice league arrived back on the station.
"Home Sweet Home." Superman said as they walked around.
"There you are." Spider-Man said approaching them.
"Spider-Man?" Flash said surprised.
"I called for some backup when SuperWoman and her made men attacked the station.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Sean yelled in anger seeing the damage done to the first Rail Gun station.
"Oh crap." DeadPool said.
"BATMAN!" Sean yelled making Batman sigh.
"This is going to be difficult to Explain." Batman said.
Later
"So what happened to the bomb?" Sean asked.
"Unknown but I think we all can assume what happened." Batman said.
"The Dark Rider." Sean said.
"Why would he need a bomb like that?" Tom asked.
"I don't know dad. But my gut tells me he's got some nasty plans with it." Sean said.
Meanwhile
"Impressive." Makarov said inspecting the bomb that could destroy an entire planet. "Tell me my friend why purpose do you need a bomb like this for." Makarov asked.
"I plan to use this during the final stages of our grand vision. I plan to use this for Blackmail to release every single criminal on Coruscant to my ranks." The Dark Rider said making Makarov smirk.
"An Excellent plan my dear." Myyrah said approaching.
"Why not simply use to rule the entire planet now?" Doom asked.
"Ruling one planet is hardly enough for all of us. No I plan for us to rule the entire Galaxy and every other universe in existence. However we still need more Recruits." The Dark Rider said.
