Batman cried out in pain as he rag-dolled across the battlefield, tumbling and rolling painfully before stopping in a heap on the ground. Wonder woman cursed whilst unsheathing her trusty sword and grabbing her shield off her back before turning to face the group"Flash get Batman to a safe area, Cyborg you're with me."She commanded, assigning quick roles. 'Please Goku, I hope you get here soon.'
Her pulse skipped, hearing her name. Like echoes across a canyon, the familiar voice reverberated through the earpiece. "Bruce? What's wrong?"
"Where are you?" She tried to get her thoughts together, pushing her loneliness aside for asec.
"Somewhere over the ocean, don't know where exactly."
"Have you found Goku yet? If so, can you come with him to Metropolis. We may need his help." Diana drew a sharp intake of air through her teeth, contemplating waiting for Goku or just going to the aid of her allies. Choosing the latter, she confirmed her decision to Bruce "No, not yet but I'm on my way now!" Wonder Woman looked longingly at the spot where Goku had previously vacated, before taking off in the direction of Metropolis.
"Alright then, I'll brief you on the way."
The heroes knew they were fighting a losing battle. All their tactics were in-effective against the monster now dubbed 'Doomsday' and considering the fact they were low on numbers did not help their case. "We must hold him off until the others arrive."cried out Diana as she attempted to uplift the spirits of her fellow heroes "Flash can you disorient him? Cyborg a sonic blast can stun him allowing me to run in and hopefully finish him with a quick stab in the heart."
Flash nodded before he streaked away from the group, making his way towards Doomsday. He began to fleet in and out of the Harbinger's eyesight. Seeing an opportunity Cyborg's arm morphed into a cannon before it whined into life as he charged an attack. Barry sped towards Doomsday once and struck him with a quick punch to the head, dazing the beast momentarily. A loud 'BOOM' resonated in the air as Cyborg released his attack, with large waves of sound that shattered any glass in the nearby vicinity struck Doomsday, eliciting a cry of pain as its hearing got overloaded. Diana seeing her opportunity leapt into action by streaking towards Doomsday. Readying her sword above her head sprung up into the air and came down with a war cry "Hya!" she roared as her blade impaled the harbingers heart but watched helplessly as her sword barely scratched its thick hide.
Doomsday attempted to thwart her away with a powerful backhand however she quickly blocked the hit with her shield, grunting at the effort of negating the power behind the blow. Grabbing Cyborg by the throat, it watched as he clawed desperately to escape before passing out. It threw Cyborg's limp body towards the Flash, who had attempted to run at the Behemoth, but he just stood his ground as Cyborg's metallic frame crashed into him. Barry hit the ground hard, Cyborg lying on top of him before succumbing to his injuries. Doomsday suddenly reared his head into the air and looked at certain as if anticipating someone.
In the horizon two dots could be seen flying at supersonic speeds growing larger by the second as they made their way towards the battle. One was earths greatest heroes, Superman and he was accompanied by the Green Lantern Hal Jordan. "We must strike this abomination as quickly as possible; the rest need us to subdue or destroy. There is to be no mercy shown today. We must go all out!" stated Superman as he rallied his fellow League Member for the upcoming battle. Hal nodded in understanding, knowing the destructive capabilities of said enemy.
The duo landed softly on the battlefield and looked on in horror at the damage. There was heat, plenty of it, accompanied by the rubble of former buildings. Thick layers of smoke and dust clung to the air reducing visibility. Out of all their comrades, one remained standing, this was Diana Prince who looked like she had seen better days. Her armour was heavily damaged, her left arm hanging dangling by her side looking broken while her right clutched at her chest, one did not need x-ray vision to see that she had a few broken ribs. Her breathing was laboured as she stood far away from her adversary who looked spotless. No signs of damage on his skin.
"Diana!" cried out Super-man with a voice edged with concern. He floated over to her side "Clark…" was all she could whisper before she fell into unconsciousness in his strong arms. Super-man was saddened initially, before rage began to bubble from within. In fact, he was seething, and with a voice fuelled with malice he yelled at Doomsday "You-you Bastard. Why you heartless, ruthless Bastard!"he screamed, eyes glowing red with barely restrained rage, his voice hard signifying his anger.
Doomsday however just grinned, before taunting Superman into attacking him. "Raaagh!" roared Superman as he launched himself at their adversary, choosing not to waste any time, considering the level of threat Doomsday presented. Doomsday reached out to grab him, however Clark ducked beneath the outreached hand and slammed a devastating uppercut to the Harbinger's chin, rattling its teeth in the process. The punch held so much power the resounding shockwave blew what remained of the nearby houses away. He soon followed with a full-on assault of punches, kicks and laser beams as he mercilessly and brutally beat down on his opponent.
"Leave some for me!" cried out Hal before he launched into the battle to aid his ally. Green Lantern created a large construct of a bus that smashed into Doomsday, pushing him back. The behemoth however blocked the attack and reared its right fist to punch back however Clark swept in with a powerful punch. Ceasing to attack, it instead shielded itself from Superman, ignoring Hal. Doomsday took a beating of his life from the meta-human, but it was all for nought as Doomsday started to retaliate with his own blows. Doomsday ignored the construct to instantly connect a haymaker to Superman's midsection which released all the air from his lungs and a head-butt which knocked him away dazed and temporarily un-able to fight.
Doomsday then shifted his focus on the last Green Lantern. Launching of the ground, he rocketed towards Hal who scrambled to quickly form a shield to protect himself. Doomsday smashed through it relatively easily however before knocking Hal to the ground with a vicious axe handle. Landing on his back and with all the air in his body forcibly forced out, he could only watch helplessly when Doomsday dropped a two-footed leg drop straight into his chest knocking him out instantly whilst blood spurted from his mouth.
The asteroid came hurtling through the atmosphere burning up upon entry, but it stayed intact long enough to crash into the residential areas of metropolis. The small group of heroes made up of Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Cyborg responded quickly enough to reach the area as it was just about to break open to reveal what lay inside. With a hiss the asteroid cracked open in half to reveal its inner core which contained a being that lay motionless.
All the heroes present gasped at this revelation before Batman's voice cut through the silence, as he took charge of the situation "We must subdue it whilst it's still defenceless. Superman is on his way, whilst Green Lantern should be here soon. Let us try and hold out until they arrive."
Batman knew that they did not have the numbers to successfully complete the objective however all they had to do was survive until Superman and Green Lantern arrived to help. 'If only that idiot Goku was here…' he mused, before attempting to think of a suitable battle plan. But alas it was not to be as the being suddenly opened its eyes and with a ground splitting roar launched itself with speed that beguiled its bulky appearance, at the distracted Batman quickly taking him out of the fight with a clothesline.
