At the rift point to Earth-2

Feb 25, 2006 16:42

The flickering pinprick of light starts oscillating furiously, then pulsing, and finally it rips open, revealing - well, a warehouse that looks exactly the same as this one ( Read more... )

He braces himself for the impact, never taking his eyes off that insane glare.

Come on, Kent... don't hold back...

And he doesn't - he slams into Luthor's power armor with the force of a tsunami, driving the genius back almost a quarter mile in a second.

Every plate in his armor groans beneath the impact, but he stays conscious, and manages to grab Ultraman's arms.

Got you -

And ripples of energy cascade from Ultraman as Luthor's anti-K absorbers begin their work...

The Mightiest Man Alive howls in pain as his strength begins ebbing, but even weakened, he's still stronger than this worm, and he starts pushing hard, hearing the actuators in Luthor's armor grind and whine and fail as he forces backward, trying to get the absorbers off his flesh...

Overhead, a half dozen figures soar into the matter skies, picking targets rapidly. Superwoman hangs back briefly - let the expendables die first...

That hesitation loses her a half-second in comparison to Superman's immediate action. His prior dealings with Alexander Luthor gives him enough trust to let his plan for Ultraman unfold.

Plus, several months ago, during the Croutex affair, someone fitting Wonder Woman's description attacked a plane, causing Diana serious distress. Superman puts two and two together, and decides that four equals a heat vision shot right to the face.

"Luthor sent me to handle his light work. Don't suppose you want to make this easy." Superman glares at the abomination that has the face of one of his most beloved friends...and braces for retaliation.

Her eyes glow red.

I've no interest in fighting you, Superman - I'm a hostage! You've got to rescue me!

Superman approaches and slows in front of her for about a second...

when the reality kicks back in again. Superman hesitates...

Another Syndicate member picks his target instantly.

Well, well. Sigma. Long time no see.

Less talking.

Electromagnetic force streams forth from ghostly hands.

John immediately whips up a brass-knuckled fist to crack this guy across the face while Sigma distracts him.

He barely blocks the fist with a shield of his own.

A little fist. Cute how you do things here.

And he responds with a howitzer blast right at John.

As the fliers soar overhead, Dinah Lance walks out of the rift unhurriedly, her robes flapping around her - and then she sees the pretender ahead of her, with her stolen face, her hair dyed cheap blonde. And she points.

You. The blonde whore.

"Don't charge for it." Flippancy. "Care to dance?"

She's gonna live to regret this later--she hopes--but she cartwheels away. When she comes to a stop, she assumes a defensive stance that just happens to involve a cocked hip and a flash of leg.

Mom, she thinks.

Barely worth my time -

A dismissive wave - that sends a half-dozen throwing knives, concealed within her robes, flying at the bitch.

Bait her in.

One dropped jaw. One Canary Cry.

One plus one equals how many broken knives tumbling to the ground?

He whizzes towards the groundpounders. Most of them won't ever see him coming.

One of them does... and he doesn't have time to shout a "Look Out!"

Just a full on blast to tackle him from the side.

He manages to pull on Flash's arm as he goes down and the two of them roll a long, LONG way, tumbling in the dirt, before anybody even sees the dust.

Take the arm for now, he's got another one.

And he puts it to work, hoping to bloody up his nose and face, maybe knock that helmet off.

This might be Hoboken.
