Apokolips
Steppenwolf came rushing into the throne room at his sires command. He had called for him and by what he heard the furies talk about…his sire was not pleased and that usually turned out fatal for the immediate minion in his presence. He walked in front of Darkseids throne and knelt down with his head bowed.
"Master, I am at your service." He announced still looking down.
"What is the meaning of this!" Darkseid told his general pointing at the projection behind Steppenwolf who had looked up to see what his master was talking about.
He was dumbfounded. He was too busy preparing for the earths invasion to check how their Doomsday weapon was fairing on against the Justice league.
They had tested the weapon on a planet rumored to be comprised of well trained armies which it proceeded to decimate together with their respective heroes. The weapon also killed two green lanterns in the process and also went toe to toe with Darkseid when his master intended to gauge its level of strength and combat skills. So he had no doubt that the Justice league would fall like flies giving them the freedom to invade, conquer and enslave the earth and its habitants.
"I don't know sire. I assume it is the one they call Shazam." Steppenwolf thought back to everything he read about each member and seeing as how the figure controlled thunder it had to be him.
Omega beams suddenly burst from Darkseids eyes and obliterated every parademon in the throne room before finally connecting with Steppenwolfs back who gritted his teeth in pain. He knew it couldn't kill him since he was a god but it sure hurt as hell.
"I fought Shazam and this is not him. Shazam is reckless in battle but this one fights with experience. He has seen the heart of real battle." Darkseid told his general. He had seen how easily Doomsday defeated Batman and his sidekick and the arrival of the Amazon princess was expected and he knew Doomsday would soon handle her. What had taken him by slight surprise was the appearance of the Amazon accompanied by the other guy with a hammer. Most of the moves he pulled on Doomsday were moves taught to the gods to fight other gods and some were just too lethal that if it weren't for Doomsdays adaptability and durability, it would have been killed a long time ago.
The guy was not tiring too, after a short but fierce battle with Doomsday he kept on going, something that Kalibak and Steppenwolf could not accomplish when sparing with Doomsday. He made Darkseid wonder who he was which brought them to the point,why he called his general who by planning earths invasion obviously got every kind of information about it.
"Find out who he is." Darkseid ordered noticing the kryptonian had joined the fight.
Darkseid smirked enjoying how he had a front row view to the kryptonian said end and whoever was helping him. He had also planned to send Doomsday to the planet the interdimensional travelers settled on. He didn't like leaving loose ends.
Watchtower
Supergirl watched her cousin join the fight, helping the new guy who was actually holding his own against the massive beast. She was too caught up in the video to notice booster gold receive an incoming transmission before activating the teleporter where Wonderwoman and Black widow materialists from and were supporting a patched up Batman.
They found him in a local veterinary shop where the owner had recognized the masked vigilante and had taken him to patch him up a little till he could get some real help. Batman didn't remove his facemask but his chest was bare. The watchtowers oncall doctors came with two stretchers on which they placed Batman and Black widow who were barely holding on to consciousness.
Supergirl flew to them. "What is that? What happened to them? Why is superman and that guy the only one fighting the beast?" She asked worried because she thought Wonderwoman being a god and all would be down there helping to save humanity.
"I'm heading down there now." Wonderwoman said already heading for the teleporter after the doctors took hold of the batman and black widows situation.
"Wait for me I'm coming" Supergirl said falling in step with Wonderwoman.
"Wai…wait" batman removed his oxygen mask and called out to them. Both ladies and the other heroes heading for the teleporter to go help, heard him and stopped.
"What is it?" Captain atom asked looking back at him. "It's too dangerous." Batman spoke up out of breath.
"We know. That's why we are going." Supergirl said before turning to Wonderwoman who looked about ready to fly out of there due to their time wasting.
"You don't understand. It will kill you! All of you in order to fight them!." Batman half shouted again alternating between wearing his oxygen mask and breathing while pointing at the huge screen showing the ongoing battle via their satellites and news feeds.
Batman had studied the creature through the feeds in the veterinary office and noticed how it quickly got rid of Cyborg and J'onn in order to fight Thor who was clearly the strongest among them concluding that it was programmed to make heavy hitters its priority. He knew it wouldn't hesitate to put an end to them in the quickest way possible.
They all turned to the screen trying to understand what batman was talking about. They saw blood all over Thor's armor but he didn't look injured or tired in the least bit with him exchanging blows with Doomsday and his hammer while superman was coming out of a building that had just toppled on top of him.
"We can handle ourselves out there." Booster spoke in conviction having seen enough and wanting to help.
"I know you all can, but it is being handled." Batman spoke in an ordering voice to the junior leaguers.
"He's right. It's too dangerous." Captain America spoke out from black widows side. They had come out of their wing when the alarms went off and watched through the monitor everything that happened from the time the meteorite hit the earth.
"Who are you to tell us what to do!" Red tornado angrily looked at Cap.
"He is a league member and he has far more experience than all of you combined." Batman angrily voiced out already getting tried of arguing with his surbodinates.
"That beast is pure rage rivaling that of the Hulks. It would be wise to heed Batmans words." Wanda said having sensed the beasts rage from the watchtower.
"And why isn't the green guy there helping? Is he not a part of the league?" One hero asked them clearly noting that the guy who knocked out superman could be of great use right about now.
"He can't" Captain America answered immediately. "He is in our base on monitor duty. If he joins the fight, let's just say Metropolis would be completely unrecognizable." Captain America further explained when he saw the confused and angry looks on the leaguers faces. Cap knew from what he saw from the monitors that the hulk and this Doomsday would no doubt leave a trail of damages in their wake trying to subdue the other.
"Well..I am going. It can't harm me." Supergirl explained standing defiantly infront of batman. He couldn't make her stay even if he wanted to.
"I knew you would say that." Batman said before Wanda activated the watchtowers comm system. Batman had telepathically called out to Wanda and explained what had to be done without alerting the others.
"Supergirl stand down! We've got this handled. Activate protocol safe house." Supermans voice shouted from the audio system.
"Confirmed" batman acknowledged. The whole watchtower was now on lockdown with every access point closed down and barricaded. It took Batman and Supermans voice to activate that protocol. It was designed incase the watchtower came under attack.
"We want to help." Supergirl said clenching her fists, angry that the senior members did not trust that they could handle it.
"I know but it's not a world ending threat. They will deal with it. Wonderwoman will also help them." Batman replied before putting the oxygen mask on and being wheeled away on the stretcher. He knew when he was beat and needed some rest.
"Shit!" Supergirl cursed when she noticed Wonderwoman had slipped away, probably flew down to earth instead of using the teleporter. Wonderwoman knew about most of the protocols put in place in the watchtower thus she slipped away before batman engaged the lock down because she too knew the younger in experienced superheroes would be at a disadvantage with the beast that could go blow for blow with superman.
Supergirl could have easily broken through the barricades but didn't. It was all about respect and responsibility. She couldn't undermine her cousins orders or Batmans infront of the leaguers and that's why she chose to go follow the fight via the monitor and would head down by force to help if the beast proves too much.
"Who is that?" Booster gold asked having returned to the monitor making the other heroes to gather around him staring at the new figure joining the fight.
"I have no idea" Cap answered confirming to them it wasn't one of his teammates.
The dust settled and both targets were buried underneath the ruble in both their craters. The force of collision was so great that they were thrown back and into the ground. Thor surfaced…his arm bleeding with two of Doomsdays bone protrusions pierced through his arm and chest while Doomsday surfaced with a broken hand and both legs broken which were already healing at a rapid rate.
Opening his arm, Miljonir flew back into it then a huge lightning blast engulfed him with Thor emerging as good as new. He knew once he removes the bones he would heal but he didn't want to waste any time thus using the power of Miljonir to make heal him fast.
Doomsday was already up and charging at him again. A stone throw away, a red and blue blur collided with Doomsday sending it crashing in a petrol station which exploded sending it further back.
"Thor, sorry I took so long." Superman apologized floating above Thor who was walking towards the now flaming station.
"I was handling it." Thor dismissed Supermans statement.
"Sure you were." Superman retorted.
"The beast is stronger than it looks." Thor said. "Doomsday" superman stated.
"What?" Thor asked. "Doomsday… It's what they are calling it." Superman explained and as if on cue a flying car knocked superman out of the air with him crashing into the side of a building with it toppling on top of him.
Doomsday roared with anger knocking everything in its path heading to them. Although it was a weapon that was programmed to exterminate all living beings, it was intelligent to a point that it noted this planet was not like the last one it decimated. This one had protectors who were just as strong as it was, considering the force of the blow which the flying guy just dished out on it. It's program noted that it needed to finish this assignment fast and that was what it was going to do.
Thor narrowed his eyes at Doomsday and engaged it again. Now the fight being more brutal than before. Thor landed an uppercut on Doomsday pushing it back a little only for superman to land a quick succession of punches disorienting Doomsday further. Thor and superman tag teaming against it proved too much for it to cope up with" Superman unleashed his heat vision blasting Doomsday towards Thor who jumped at it pummeling it to the ground with all the strength he could master. Doomsday collided with the ground which gave way from the sheer force of it and Doomsday landing on the subway system. An abandoned train was parked there, probably by the fleeing citizens as the railway line was blocked up front by the rubble created from the fight.
Doomsday got hold of one part of the train and threw it through the hole it created, colliding with superman who was flying down the subway to engage it again.
Superman managed to get hold of the train midair and stop its momentum before Doomsday leaped and crashed into it with his fist tearing through the train and connecting with Superman who was thrown back and out of the hole with the wrecked train adding to his momentum. Thor saw superman crash out of the hole with a train on top of him landing somewhere behind him then heard a roar. Gripping Miljonir, he jumped into the hole.
In a cave
Banner was watching the whole fight going on. He had to acknowledge Doomsday was quite powerful to still hold up against superman and Thor with the other league founding members defeated and recuperating aside leaving their top hitters to handle it.
He wanted to join the fray but Black widow had communicated with him that bringing the Hulk into the fight would be the last option if all else failed. Now he was waiting for their signal to join the fray. Banner knew that was the best option because the beasts and hulks combined rage would probably lead to half the continent of the USA being destroyed or buried under the ruble.
He relaxed In his seat when he saw the beast was slowly being overpowered although it was still putting up a fight each contenders punches stronger than the last.
Half of metropolis was destroyed. The windows were shattered from the shockwaves created by the powerful punches and collisions while buildings crumpled under the contenders superior physiologies when colliding against them.
Superman was currently climbing out under the ruble of his huge statue which stood in the middle of Metropolis park and Thor was being pummeled into the ground each punch stronger than the last. Doomsday had since activated his heat vision which was much more powerful than Supermans to both their surprises.
The bone protrusion on Doomsdays knuckle extended in length, wanting to end Thor with it before he regained his footing on the battle, having had enough of their interruptions. Miljonir was cutting through the wreckages flying to Thor who had summoned it when Doomsday managed to surprise him by his heat vision which halfway melted his body armor with his chest having intensive cuts from the durable bones in Doomsdays body.
An explosion engulfed both of them but only launched Doomsday away from Thor who's Miljonir had just arrived. He stood up gripping Miljonir and looked around trying to figure out who had just temporarily blasted Doomsday away.
"Yeah yeah…you can thank me later Prince." Tony's voice was heard as he landed next to Thor in his iron man suit.
"You should not be here." Thor stated to Tony. "It is too dangerous. This beast is unlike any we have ever faced apart from the hulk." He explained while Doomsdays roar alerted them to his rampaging rage again heading for them.
"He's right. I think it's part Kryptonian. That's why it can keep up." Superman added flying down next to them wanting to form a new plan of attack because brute force only lead to more property damages. "It kills anything that moves. That's why the Justice league members have been ordered not to engage. Unlike the hulk, this one has no conscious"
"I know" Tony said shrugging as if it was a normal occurrence. "That's why I brought my own back up." He revealed while smirking inside his helmet.
On cue, a huge red hulking figure collided with the oncoming projectile that was Doomsday with both of them crashing into two tanks that were abandoned by the fleeing soldiers before an explosion engulfed both of them.
"I didn't know the hulk could camouflage" superman wondered out loud looking at the raging flame that engulfed Doomsday and the red figure.
"That's because he can't." Iron man answered superman. "That is Ben." Iron man clarified at their confused looks. Thor also thought for a second it was Banner because all of the Hulks powers were not yet known and he too, Banner, didn't know the full extent of his alter egos power.
Thundering punches could be heard from the other side of the flames before Doomsday came flying through the flame and past them colliding with an electric pole behind them breaking it in half before ending up in an abandoned tour bus some distance away.
"This is what I'm talking about!" A rough excited base voice shouted before charging past them with powerful footsteps at the direction Doomsday ended up. It had been too long since Ben had participated in a good fight.
Superman and Thor looked on with surprise at the hulking figure running past them with each step cracking the Tarmac and many debris on the ground crumbling under its feet.
They saw a buff and red being with four green eyes, it had spikes on its arms. What made it so intriguing or surprising to look at was that it had four arms, the upper two looking more like its primary set because of their huge size and muscles while the second lower set were smaller but also had well defined muscles. Each of its four hands had three fingers and a thumb and it was 15 feet tall. It definitely had a build much like the Hulks or Grundy as per Supermans knowledge.
Doomsday emerged from the tour bus ripping it in half and throwing both halves at its new contender. Doomsday could go on fighting forever, that was what it was created to do after all, fight. Four arms (Ben's form) punched the incoming projectiles to the side before colliding with Doomsdays fists and Four arms second set of arms punching it repeatedly before Doomsday head butted him thus making him to release it. It unleashed a roar before punching Four arms as hard as it could sending Ben flying past superman, Thor and ironman who were momentarily stunned at Ben's new form.
This brought them out of their daze and attacked doomsday again. They were the only thing standing between humanity and this raging monstrosity with some of Supermans physiology.
Doomsday was barely holding on against all those powerhouses. When it bested one of them temporarily the others would rain down on it making it hard but not impossible for it to keep up even with the advantage of Kryptonian DNA in it. It was Darkseids ultimate weapon for a reason and only he could get it to stand down or stop an attack because the only way for it to stop is if it kills everything in a planet or it is killed which was a very hard thing to do.
Anytime Doomsday used its heat vision, Thor countered and blocked it with Miljonir which rendered it useless. Thor spun Miljonir granting him the power of flight and took off for Doomsday who saw the attack coming and countered it by avoiding Miljonirs blow at the last second due to his speed and reflexes which were quickly adapting to the fight. It took hold of his cape and pulled it intending to slam him on the ground but Thor expected that because instead of stopping, Doomsday was dragged along holding onto Thor's cape. Miljonirs momentum which was extended to its master at the moment could not be stopped unless Thor commanded it to stop.
Doomsday noticed his mistake and let go of Thor's cape causing it to crash into the Tarmac before coming to a stop only to be bombarded by an angry Supermans punches disorienting it further until it blocked his right fist before with great force pierced Supermans thigh with its left fist which had extended a bone protrusion on its knuckles.
"Aargh" superman cried out before being punched away into an office building which was barely holding on.
Before Doomsday could gather itself, Four arms thunder clapped creating a large shockwave which brought down any weak building within a mile radius but Doomsday powered through with minor bone protrusions breaking off from its body before growing back.
Four arms was already on it punching away. His extra arms proved useful as Doomsday could not dodge all of them but being faster than him certainly gave it an advantage as it blocked two of his incoming fists before it met the other two head on with them being at a stalemate for a few seconds until it kneed Four arms in the stomach its bone claw slightly penetrating Four arms extremely durable skin then punched him away.
Thor and Iron man were helping superman to evacuate the remaining civilians in the office building superman was thrown into. He had since healed from the injury and was flying the civilians out of the area and handing them over to Cyborg and J'onn who were also evacuating the people before the fight got to them.
After getting over the pain, Four arms stood up facing Doomsday cracking his knuckles walking towards it smirking while Doomsday did the same but with an angry expression intending to end him once and for all then proceed with its mission. It charged for the hundredth time that day. They had been fighting the whole day since it was nearly night time.
"Ok.." Four arms said stretching his muscles. "I'm going to fuck you up!" He bellowed the words of the brave soldier that died earlier and charged at Doomsday who was more than ready to make the red being submit by sheer force.
Ben had been with Iron man heading to the avengers cave in the Amazon forest when they intercepted the feed being streamed by every top government official and the Justice league making them to turn and head back to help.
A few meters apart, a bright green light engulfed Four arms blinding the cameras from the daring helicopters flying up in the air capturing the entire fight for the whole world to see. Doomsday didn't flinch from the light and charged on with his fist raised to punch Four arms into submission.
A second later… BOOOOM! Was heard and Doomsday was seem flying up and back into the air colliding with one of the flying choppers before ending up in another petrol station whose explosion rocked Metropolis for the hundredth time that day.
