"Listen up, everyone," Raiden said, getting the room's attention. "We don't know what kind of attack they're planning, or if they're already prepared So This is a stealth mission, Our goal is to gather as much information as possible, then use Merlin's magic to communicate and coordinate our attack! I've already assigned each of you your targets. Now, our main objective is to take them down, but we must be smart about the timing of the attack! Be careful, we don't have a clue on what sort of Hostages or threats they have prepared for us, attack when you're confident, I believe everyone here, is a good judge of when that is"
Raiden showed the screen displaying their target, Queen Bee's Castle in Bialya, Merlin was going to be the main communication leader of this attack, as Raiden couldn't use mental magic directly, Instead, he would communicate with Merlin, who would relay his messages to the others
As Raiden finished with the plan, Batman, looking slightly annoyed, said "I thought you didn't care about hostages and threats."
Raiden turned to him, annoyed at Batman's Accusation, saying "I do care about the people, Batman, I want to save them, But if it comes down to it, I'll sacrifice a few to save the multiverse, Priorities. You should know this better than me"
….
With everyone prepared, The stealth Mission started, Raiden immediately transformed into his Assassin Servant form, delving into the shadows as he infiltrated the castle, The others followed suit, each in a special way, Batman was no stranger to stealth, heading directly to the castle, disabling all securities measures and infiltrating it, Scáthach had is Easier, entering the shadow of guards one by one, she hoped around till she was inside, Merlin was a master of Illusion, blending into reality, once a soldier, once a painting, once invisible, you can never detect him unless he wanted you to! As for Dr. Fate, well magic was key, as he turned invisible and flied inside
Merlin was the first to reach his destination, "I'm inside the throne room," he spoke "No one can detect me here, I see Queen Bee, and it looks like she's talking to one of Owlman's lieutenants, Green Arrow's counterpart"
Queen Bee's frustration was evident as she demanded a meeting with Owlman and Neil, but she was denied, As Merlin relayed this information to Raiden he quickly pieced together the situation. "It's clear now, that Neil Queen made an agreement with the Light, but Owlman has broken it without their knowledge, They're controlling the castle through force."
Batman, who had been surveying the area and infiltrated the Castle's Square, said "There are a lot of soldiers here, more than usual, Normally, Queen Bee controls her troops with her special ability to control man, but they're not being affected, Instead, it looks like there are some sort of small tentacles attached to the backs of their necks"
"Small tentacles…" Scáthach said as she added, "I saw something similar in Japan, The Monsters spewed small tentacles and tried to take control of people who couldn't escape, I eliminated them, but it seems they serve a similar function here"
Raiden thought for a bit as he said "Merlin Inform the others, they're still fighting against them and might end up affected by them"
Raiden, still in his Assassin form, continued deeper into the castle, His destination was the basement, heavily guarded by soldiers, Using his skills, he slipped past them unnoticed. Inside, he found a lab—reminiscent of his past, when he was nothing but a weakling under Dr. Ivo's experimentations, Scientists were all around it, and in the middle of it, Neil was connected to numerous wires, those wires connected to a device, Raiden quickly identified that as the bomb.
To his shock, he also spotted familiar faces, Superwoman, Owlman, and a third person who looked exactly like Kara ("They reported there was another variation of Kara, Looks like that's her") Raiden muttered as he preceded to inform the others.
Immediately after, Scáthach reported, "I've located First Born and also found Johnny and Flash. They're running on some special treadmill, generating energy to power a ….gate of some sort"
Raiden Looked up to see some sort of wires coming down from the ceiling "Looks Like I'm under you Scathach, they've split up, to protect their useful assets" he then looked around and saw some scientists report to Owlman "Only two Hours and the Bomb Will be Ready, and in another Three hours, he Gate should be open"
Raiden once again Reported this to the others as he said "Merlin, Meet me where Scathach is, Batman come down to where I am and assist Scáthach in dealing with these guys, fate too, we have a Kryptonian here, your magic should keep her at bay"
Doctor Fate then spoke, revealing critical information "First Born isn't the one controlling the soldiers…. And I won't be able to help with the Kryptonian" Everyone was shocked hearing that, as Dr. Fate continued "If found Klarion he's helping create the tentacle monsters and control the soldiers….."
Everyone was stunned, especially Raiden, he had used Klarion's information, and it was reliable, if he had betrayed them, wouldn't he misguide them? "Shouldn't that be Impossible? He's a lord of Chaos! Why would the lords of Chaos want the multiverse dead? It would be against their interest! They'd lose their source of Chaos" to which Fate Agreed, saying "That's what I was thinking, but It seems FirstBorn is smart, has somehow threatened Klarion's position with the Lords of Chaos, forcing him into this alliance, he must have made a deal with them"
"Narrowing his eyes, Raiden said, Fine, deal with him! You know him best, Everyone else proceeds as planned, we'll attack in Three, Two, One! GO!"
…
The attack had begun. Raiden moved into position, his mind focused on his target, It was time to confront the one known as First Born, A being ranked in the Dark Army, Raiden knew this wasn't going to be like any battle he had fought before, Even his battle with Trigon paled in comparison to what he was about to face, as he appeared, he looked at FirstBorn, The air around him seemed too dark, black ooze energy was emanating from him, almost like a living entity, spreading around the area, unleashing what can only be described as Dread
His appearance was that of pure darkness, eyes filled not with anger and the rage of a killer, but with a cold, calm evil, This was a man who lived for destruction, relishing in the chaos and ruin he could wreak upon the world,
As FirstBorn noticed Raiden, a twisted smile curled on his lips, although his face was hidden beneath the red mask, one could sense the excitement he exuded, as if this fight was what he had been waiting for! It didn't matter to him whether his plans with Owlman succeeded or Not! What mattered was the thrill of destruction, the challenge of facing a worthy opponent
Rising from his seat, First Born addressed Raiden in a voice that was both mocking and indifferent, as if bored by him "So, you're the special one, the one that even Empty Hand was worried about? I've wondered for a long time what kind of man you might be, I've asked many about you, from what Neil had told me Nile, You went through a tough childhood?"
His voice filled with disdain as he continued "Tested upon, you suffered, lost your parents, lost in space… all of these things made you who you are today, Intriguing to most perhaps, but to me, it sounds like you had it easy, Compared to me, your life has been a mere picnic….. But that's irrelevant…I am one to believe that pain forges glory, and I intend to destroy everything in my path until the world itself shivers upon hearing my name"
Raiden sighed, a hint of amusement in his eyes As he said "I expected more from one of the strongest beings in existence, I didn't expect to be swapping stories of trauma here, I know little about you, but I know you're a god, a son of Hera and Zeus, A son so powerful that even Zeus feared you and cast you aside, lived hell and all that, but the path you chose, is not that of a man who overcame his past, it's those of a man chained by them! But as I said, I'm not here to help you change, I'm here because you are a threat to Earth, to my kingdom, and to my world, And I'll treat you as such, you want destruction, and I'll bring that upon you!"
Raiden's form shifted as he reverted to his Enkidu form once again, Hunderds of Swords, spears, and a variety of weapons, materialized all around the chamber, and with a swift motion of his hand, Raiden threw them directly at FirstBorn, The swords sliced through the air, their power enough to reduce buildings to rubble, But FirstBorn was unfazed, He didn't flinch as the blades approached, Instead, he simply walked forward, and the swords either shattered upon impact with his body or failed to touch him at all! His expression remained unchanged, cold and calm, as he closed the distance between them with frightening speed
Raiden barely had time to react before FirstBorn's fist connected with his guarded hands, sending him flying through the castle walls and out into the open, The impact was brutal, the force behind the punch something Raiden hadn't experienced in ages….not since his battle with Trigon. As he struggled to regain his footing, he noticed a dark energy hurtling toward him from the sky, like a meteorite descending, First Born landed with a crushing punch aimed at Raiden's face, creating a massive crater on impact!
Pain shot through Raiden's body, but he forced himself to stand, watching as FirstBorn approached slowly, as if he wasn't even trying "You seem to misunderstand your position" FirstBorn said, his voice calm, but dark, sending shivers through Raiden's body "Others may have needed years of preparation to face you, but me? I am different! I stand above all things…
You will die, but it will not be a beautiful death. It will not be glorious, nor heroic, You will die like a dog, crushed by sheer power, by absolute destruction, That is the fate I offer those who stand against me"
Raiden, bloodied and in pain, Knew that what he said was accurate, This was no ordinary enemy, even with his Enkidu form, one of the strongest he had, had been rendered almost useless against this being!
And rightly so! Firstborn was not just an entity of destruction, Unlike Raiden he wasn't special, there was one Firstborn in almost every reality, but this one was different, he was the one that won! He defeated and destroyed Olympus! And conquered the world, and with Empty Hand's guidance, he was sent to other worlds! Where he could conquer and absorb Olympus's power! He was a being who had already destroyed and conquered four different variations of Olympus!
Realizing he needed to tap into his true strength, Raiden decided to unleash the full power of Enkidu. He could feel the energy of the planet itself, Gaia's will, flowing into him. Enkidu was not just any Servant; he was the embodiment of the planet's desire to survive he may not have qualified as a Grand, but that does not lessen his powers at all! In fact, his power grows more the more threat to the planet there was, and Firstborn was one of those threats
"You're an abomination," Raiden said, his voice in pain but still standing, as green energy began to swirl around him. "You don't think, you don't live…..you simply destroy, you are the antitheses of humanity, of dreams, of life, honestly….. You're the worst thing I've ever seen, and you don't deserve to exist"
The green energy increased and intensified, surrounding Raiden as his power grew, His green hair flowed behind him flying due to the sheer amount of energy, it was a calm energy, the true power of a being connected to the very essence of Gaia
"I will awaken the breath of the planet...
For I walk with humanity"
Raiden's body began to rise, the energy forming the chains of heaven, a Divine construct capable of binding all the gods from all pantheons!
The chains hit the peak of the skies, then descended upon FirstBorn with a shout, Raiden's body fully became the chains, becoming the tip of them, akin to that of a dagger as he shouted
"ENUMA ELISH!"
crashing through his mental and physical defenses, piercing straight into his heart. The explosion that occurred was immense, the shockwave felt across the world the clouds around the skies parted and a sound wave unleashed!
As the Noble Phantasm's power faded, Raiden reverted to his normal form and quickly retreated, knowing he had given everything in that attack, The battlefield grew quiet, the dust settling around FirstBorn's broken and bloodied body, each limp was destroyed, his blood scattered, there was nothing left of the all mighty conqurer of four earths!
It was Raiden's victory.
.
.
.
.
But then, a sound emerged from the silence…..a dark, ominous laugh, It sent chills down Raiden's spine as he watched in disbelief, The dark energy began to ooze from the ground, wrapping around First Born's limbs, his body slowly regenerating, atom by atom, limb by limb an attack that was supposed to end a pantheon was nothing to this man
Firstborn's eyes gleamed with a twisted joy as he looked at Raiden "That was the strongest attack I've ever faced" he spoke with a cruel smile "Back in my days as a god, it would have killed me instantly, nay just the sheer force of it's energy would have ended me, But as I stated before…..seem to misunderstand something, I was a god... Now, I've transcended that. You're looking at the Firstborn, Not merely the Firstborn of Hera and Zeus! No! I am the Firstborn to have ascended beyond Godhood! I have become an Eternal Sovereign!"
