Kahn’daq

Hawkman readied his mace as Black Adam looked at each of them murderously as lightning sparked from his body. His eyes glowed blue with power as he looked at each of them as he mentally picked which one was going to die first.

“NOW!!!” Hawkman yelled as Black Adam zoomed towards him and his fist went straight through his head but instead of feeling blood, he felt nothing but air as his body dissipated into glass fractures.

Theo fired a lightning bolt at Cyclone who dissipated as well before he charged Doctor Fate but he disappeared before he could be grabbed as Theo stood there in anger.

“Show yourselves!!!” Theo ordered as he floated into the air and looked around for the heroes as his hidden audience watched the encounter with wide eyes at how ruthless Theo has become.

Black Adam looked around the area before he heard a metal creak behind him and he turned around as he saw Hawkman swinging his mace at him. Thinking quick, Theo grabbed the mace before ripping it out of Carter’s grasp and slammed it into his head repeatedly as loud bangs were heard.

Carter dodged the next swing and punched Theo in the face but it barely did anything as he then grabbed him by the wings and slammed him on the ground. Still gripping his wings, Theo sent lethal shocks of lightning into Carter’s body as he yelled in agonizing pain as his body begin to spasm.

The bolts of lightning got thicker and thicker as Theo poured on the power as he intended to kill Hawkman. Carter felt nothing but pain as his skin began to burn from the lightning shocks as Theo continued to shock him before a strong force ripped him off of Carter’s body as he just laid there, his skin was steaming.

Theo looked and saw Doctor Fate holding him back before another one held his arms as he had enough of this, enough of the tricks and enough of these heroes. Theo gritted his teeth before throwing one of the duplicates away as he began throwing punches and destroying the duplicates.

The real Doctor Fate was switching amongst the duplicates as Theo destroyed five at a time as he threw punches and kicks with the occasional ripping apart. The duplicates then casted magical binds and chains as they chained each of Theo’s arms to the ground in hopes to restrain him.

“He has to have a weakness.” Doctor Fate mumbled as he looked at Theo’s chained state and saw the lightning ensignia glowed yellow as blue lightning erupted and destroyed the contraptions as Black Adam now moved faster than the speed of light itself as duplicates were being shattered left, right and center.

Doctor Fate summoned more duplicates around him and enhanced their strength attributes as two of them caught Black Adam and one held him in a choke hold as the second one held his left arm. As Kent watched, he saw Theo was now looking directly at him and not at his other duplicates.

“He’s learning fast.” Doctor Fate thought to himself as he switched places with a duplicate and charged Theo to throw him off guard but Theo destroyed the duplicate he recently switched with and nailed a devastating right hook into the real Doctor Fate as he went flying from the blow and smashed past two cars and into a building.

With a yell of anger, Theo summoned more lightning and vaporized the duplicates around him as he flew through the hole where Doctor Fate was and saw that the sorcerer had disappeared again as Theo immediately flew back out and went back to Hawkman but he now saw that the man was not where he left him.

Theo scanned the area before Hawkman entered his line of sight as he had his wings folded in but now he had his mace just in his hand as he gestured with his other hand to the ground.

“This ends here and now, Black Adam.” Hawkman yelled in anger as Theo landed on the ground about twenty feet from him.

“So you choose to meet your end in hand to hand combat? You obviously don’t learn.” Theo snarled out as Hawkman twirled his mace and then brought it down as it transformed into an axe.

“You’d be surprised at how relentless I can be.” Hawkman said before he charged forward as Theo did the same. Carter swung his axe but Theo dodged it easily as the metahuman punched him square in the jaw. Taking the blow, Carter swiped at Theo with wings and created a dust cloud in front of Theo.

Clapping his hands, Theo created a shockwave that dispersed the cloud just as quickly Hawkman swung his axe straight into Theo’s side. The sharpness of the axe didn’t cut into Theo’s suit but the force of the swing made him skid on his feet a bit as a little bit of pain was felt from it as Theo looked at Carter murderously.

“You’d be surprised at how relentless I can be.” Theo quoted Hawkman’s words before blitzing straight into Hawkman as his body went flying into a car. Carter shook off the blow and looked up to see Theo fired a bolt at the car behind him as he flew from the explosion.

As Hawkman tried to gain altitude, Black Adam took to the skies and nailed a nasty right hook straight into Carter’s jaw at full strength as a loud SNAP! Was heard as his body carved a trench into the ground below. Not wasting time at all, Theo zoomed to a recovering Hawkman and grabbed his arm before bending it the other way and a loud, wet SNAP! Was heard.

“ARRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!” Hawkman yelled with a broken arm and jaw as he felt Theo grab his wings but he retracted them. Theo, however, didn’t mind this as he lifted Hawkman’s body over his head and slammed his body down right on his knee as a loud groan was heard from Carter.

“A pitiful attempt.” Theo said as he threw Hawkman’s body into the ground as blood was beginning to pour from Carter’s mouth as he tried to get up before Theo stomped on his skull to stop the attempt.

“This was the group of heroes sent to stop me?!” Theo bellowed before he grabbed Carter by the neck and flew into the air and raised his motionless body to the crowd nearby.

“They came here to stop me when they don’t even put up much of a fight!!!” Theo bellowed as the crowd cheered and voiced their agreement before they turned into one of alarm as Theo raised his hand and caught a metal pole that was aimed directly at the back of his head.

Dropping Hawkman’s body, Theo turned and saw Cyclone spinning a storm that was full of debris and other various things.

“Stop! You’ll kill him!” Cyclone yelled at him.

“You sent him to his death from just standing there and doing nothing.” Theo retorted as he faced her.

Cyclone spun in the air and twirled around as the wind speeds increased before she spun around one more time before letting loose the debris in her storm directly at Black Adam.

Chunks of concrete, cars, metal poles and other things were hurled directly at Black Adam as nothing affected him but his eyes widened when he turned around and saw that some of the debris were going to strike and kill some of his people.

Using his speed, Theo quickly grabbed the civilians and moved them out of the way while destroying some of the debris that came close to them as he fired lightning to vaporize the objects thrown at them. Theo looked to his right and saw that a metal pole was about to spear a mother and her baby as he rushed to them and covered them with his body as metal poles rained down on his body before they stopped.

Theo looked at the mother, “Are you alright?”

“Yes, thank you so much.” The mother cried out as her baby was crying as the sight of this made Theo angry as he turned around and glared at Cyclone murderously as she had a horrified look on her face as she realized her mistake.

“You dare try to kill my people?!” Theo yelled in fury before zooming towards Cyclone who threw a car at him as he slammed it aside before grabbing her wrists and snapping them as Maxine cried out in pain before Theo looked and saw there was a bunch of the metal poles that she threw and they were imbedded in the ground.

Theo threw her with his strength as her body went flying towards the metal poles threatening to stab her body but before her back made impact with the poles, Doctor Fate appeared and caught her and teleported her to the Hawkcruiser’s medbay.

The sorcerer reappeared before Theo as his gloves glowed with powerful magic, “This isn’t the way, Black Adam.”

“You say that like that’s going to change me, put me on the right path and make me a hero… well guess what, that’s not happening.” Black Adam spoke sternly before firing a lightning bolt but Doctor Fate blocked it with a shield before teleporting behind him and encasing Theo within a Ankh-shaped prison.

Working quickly, Doctor Fate teleported to different angles around Theo as he created chains and heavy constructs to hold Theo down and try to overpower his strength. Chains were wrapped around Theo’s wrists and ankles before clamps were formed around his torso as he tried to move as the constructs creaked a bit but the sorcerer kept on stacking the constructs on top of one another before Theo literally couldn’t move at all.

Doctor Fate floated in front of Black Adam as the metahuman was trying to move but the weight and gravity of Fate’s magic wouldn’t budge.

“Now we can talk like civilized beings.” Doctor Fate spoke calmly as Theo glared at him.

“You wield powerful magic that you have not dared to tap into, I can feel it. You need help controlling it and I can help you.” Doctor Fate spoke as Theo glared at him.

“I don’t need your help, I don’t need anyone to help me at all.” Theo growled as he tried to break himself free.

“Don’t bother in trying to break free, it would take an extremely high level of magic to break this prison.” Doctor Fate replied calmly as Theo immediately began to think of whatever he had in his arsenal that can help him break free.

“Black Adam, you must understand that the scales of order and chaos must be balanced otherwise the consequences could be catastrophic. You represent the rock that can unbalance one over the other but that can be avoided if you join us. Please think this through before responding as I won’t ask a third time.” Doctor Fate warned him.

“Why? Why bother?” Theo couldn’t help but ask the sorcerer as he continued to think of a solution.

“Because I can see where you are from. You are unfamiliar with this world much less our biology yet you adapt to it very quickly. You wield magic that you can’t compare to and yet you choose to become Kahndaq’s savior rather than bend the world to your will so I ask you the question Black Adam… why?” Doctor Fate replied.

Theo looked at the sorcerer before his mind came up with an automatic solution, say the magic word. He then looked at Doctor Fate and gave a dark smirk before replying.

“You want to know why?” Theo questioned as Doctor Fate nodded before he gave his reply.

“Shazam.” Theo said and immediately after he spoke it, a large and powerful lightning bolt struck from the heavens and hit Theo in the chest as the magic construct exploded immediately and the shockwave knocked Doctor Fate back into a car which crushed it in half as a massive cloud of dust exploded into the air.

Theo shook his head before he looked and saw that he was in a skinnier but rather muscular version of his magic form but he immediately spoke again, “Shazam.”

Doctor Fate recovered and looked at the cloud before another massive lightning bolt struck the same spot and sent up another cloud of dust before the sorcerer created a shield in front of him to block the attack.

“Interesting.” Doctor Fate noted before he saw Black Adam rise from the dust cloud and glared at him.

Immediately, Black Adam used his speed and appeared behind Fate but he replaced himself with a duplicate as Theo’s fist went straight through the duplicate’s chest and shatter it. Doctor Fate used his reflexes and dodged Theo’s blazing fast attacks before one lucky and well timed punch socked him in the helmet so hard that it knocked Kent’s helmet off as it fell to the ground.

Kent lunged towards it but Theo grabbed his throat and lifted him into the air as he looked down at the helmet before kicking it away.

“Don’t worry, you won’t have to ask me a third time… ever again.” Black Adam spoke darkly as he prepared to crush Kent’s throat before a loud shout echoed throughout the streets as both Kent and Theo heard it.

“NOOOOOOOOO!!!!” The voice of a boy shouted.

Theo looked at Kent before throwing him into a building and flew towards the noise as he zoomed through multiple streets and a few blocks. Turning a corner, Black Adam came across the source of the scream before he noticed a missile flying right towards him and caught it but something caught it his eye.

The rocket had a small chamber that was glowing blue which confused him as he looked at it but then the missile exploded and the power behind it knocked Theo back as he flew back and slammed into the road and formed a small crater.

“Quick! Get her into one of the bikes and go!” Someone yelled as Black Adam got back up and took in the sight before him.

A couple of Intergang soldiers in high tech suits were wrestling a woman into the trunk of a strange vehicle that Theo hasn’t seen before. There were about five bikes and as soon as they stuffed the woman inside, they jumped on their own bikes and it glowed blue with power before they zoomed down the street as Theo walked and peered down the road at them.

“Sir!!!” A young voice cried out as Theo turned his head and looked down to see a boy looking at him with tears in his eyes.

“Please save my mum!” He pleaded desperately as Theo nodded seriously before he took off as he used his enhanced hearing to track down the bikes.

Flying through the streets, Black Adam caught up to two of the five bikes he encountered from before as he flew towards them at high speeds and grabbed one of them and ripped the back compartment out to find nothing inside.

“Looking for something?” The Intergang biker gloated before Theo grabbed him with one hand and destroyed his bike with the other as he caught up to the other one.

“Wait, what are you doing?!” The biker yelled in horror as Theo looked at him in disgust.

“I’m looking for something.” Theo quoted the biker before he threw him into the second biker as their bodies emitted a loud crack as the corpses fell to the ground before Theo caught the bike and landed on the ground and checked the compartment… nothing.

Frustrated, Theo threw the bike upward and blasted it with lightning, destroying it before focusing on his surroundings to locate other similar noises before he found what he was looking for and took off. Flying faster than before, Theo zoomed and weaved around tight corners before he came across a biker by himself as he zoomed to catch him.

Before Theo could grab him, the biker activated a transparent blitz which made Theo grab thin air before returning to its normal state.

“What the fuck?” Theo said in confusion as he gave chase again as the biker kept on blitzing around corners and forced Theo to pour on the speed. As Theo chased him, he noticed a large sign attached to a metal pole and fired a lightning blast at it to knock it in the path of the biker.

The Intergang biker blitzed through the sign before his eyes widened when he saw Theo right in his path and before he could blitz again, Theo used his hand and sliced the biker’s head off clean as the headless corpse fell off the bike before Black Adam caught it and checked the compartment to find nothing again.

Luckily, the last two bikers zoomed ahead of him on a different street as Theo smirked and gave chase in a parallel street as he closed the distance and grabbed one of them and checked… nothing.

The other biker looked behind him to see his partner get ripped in half as his screams were heard in the earpiece before they were silenced as Theo chased him with rage in his eyes.

“I need backup! I’m not gonna make it to the rendezvous point!” The biker reported frantically as he poured on the speed as he made sure his compartment was closed so the woman couldn’t get out.

About two miles from them, Ten Intergang Bikers armed with Eternium guns and rocket launchers took position and waited to spring the trap on Black Adam and before long, they saw their target right behind their comrade.

“Come on, hurry up! We got your back!” One soldier yelled in his earpiece as the recipient nodded in understand as Theo poured on the speed and was ready to grab the bike itself before he had to stop and catch a missile with the same blue glow.

Thinking quick, Theo threw the missile at one of the bikers and killed him before the bikers began shooting him as Theo smacked bikes out of the air and threw them into each other as his rage grew and grew as he killed each and every one of them.

The biker who escaped looked behind and saw nothing but smoke as he poured on the speed as his bike blurred in the air as he pressed the button over and over again to get to his destination faster as he pressed against the sound barrier critically.

After about eight seconds, the biker stopped and landed his hoverbike in a farm as he was now in some part of China… faraway from Kahndaq.

“Perfect, now to get answers.” He said as he opened his compartment to reveal his captive as she tried to attack him but he held her still and looked at her.

“Now, where’s the equation?!” He demanded.

“I don’t know.” She replied.

“So be it.” He retorted as he prepared to punch her but he heard a sound behind him as he turned around and saw Theo standing right behind him and his face was covered in the blood of his comrades.

“Wrong move, pig.” Theo spoke darkly before grabbing the soldier and throwing him into a nearby mountain as he went sailing for miles before a loud crack was heard as it made impact with the hard rocks.

Black Adam then turned his attention back to the woman as his eyes narrowed with recognition as he saw her before.

“You were the woman in the tomb, you were there when I awakened.”
