Earth has many parallel universes, many with as tiny differences as a person sneezing one second and in another universe the same person sneezing one second later. Others have huge differences such as the Egyptian gods never existing and others with gods using earth as a playing field.
On this particular version of earth a battle for the planet was taking place. Heroes like Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman, and many others vs. villains of the likes that wanted the world to burn a.k.a the Joker, Lex Luther, Circe, and hundreds more. Our story focuses on one little team of villains who were instrumental to tipping the balance of the scales between good and evil.
This team consisted of a fire elemental monk, a telekinetic warrior, and a yellow lantern. Each had their own style, the fire elemental named Shadowkon who used fire and a oversized staff. Many would say his outfit suited his name quite well. Wearing a midnight black suit with a red trim, coupled with the mask and tattered cape he was the ashes of hell itself.
Viconis the telekinetic warrior wielded two blades that acted as extensions of his arms. Those who saw him and lived to tell of him said he looked more like a man in demon armor with soulless eyes. In fact they were quite spot on for he wore a gas mask, and a demonic armor forged in hell being a sickly corrupted gold and red, with its trim being black. giving him the appearance of one of the many demons who resided in hell.
Now the yellow lantern Kirn used his ring to make all those who met him run in fear. Many a story have been made about him all ranging from him being able to beat armies of men to groups of heroes all single-handedly. But those who ran away to tell their stories spread more fear about him increasing his power therefore making him an even more unstoppable force.
Currently they were fighting in the ruined city of Metropolis, within the first hours of the fight, towers had fallen, entire buildings had been blown up and hundreds were killed. Now let’s focus on our hero- ahem villains.

Ducking underneath an arrow Vicon sent a telekinetic blast back at the archer, sending said archer flying off the roof. Turning his attention back to the battle at hand he blocked a swipe from one of the hundreds of heroes and trapped the hero inside a ball before flicking his hand away.
“That’s fourty-nine Kon!” Turning towards Vicon, Kon raised his staff at him, sneering underneath his mask Vicon raised a shield made of pure thought around his body. Taking care to aim right Kon shot the heroine sneaking up behind Vicon with a fireball of pure fury.
“And that’s seventy-eight for me!” Rolling his eyes underneath his mask Vicon set his eyes on another hero and leaped at him, blades outstretched and rocket boots firing. Seeing a group of cops Shadowkon turned himself into flames and popped up in the middle of the group.
“’Ello guvs!” Twirling his staff in his right hand he batted away one of the cops and summoned a wall of fire in front of himself. Gesturing with his hands he sent it towards the cops, incinerating more than half of them. Seeing out of the corner of his eye one of the cops leveling his gun at him he threw his staff. The cop ducked underneath it and smiled.
“You’re gonna pay.” Shaking his finger Shadowkon sent two whips of fire to the two ends of his staff now on the other side of the cop.
“GET OVER HERE!” Pulling with his fire whips he flew the staff into the back of the cop. The cop in turn was sent flying towards him. Freeing one of his hands he grabbed the cop by the throat and made him burst into flames. Looking at the ashes in his hand he laughed. “Heh references.”
Turning into flames once more he went back into the fray. Kirn stood abov- er well hovered above it all. He paid no mind to the flying magicians or demons, buzzing all around him. He had eyes for one lantern and one lantern alone. Leaning forwards he flew over the battlefield, quickly reacting he barely avoided Wonder woman, sent flying by Black Adam. Giving a nod to Black Adam as he flew by he continued on his quest.
“Where are you…?” Directing himself to the remains of a skyscraper he kneeled on the edge.
An irritating buzzing noise came to life in his ear. “Hey Kirn what are you looking for?”
“You should know by now Vicon.”
Another voice joined in before Vicon could reply. “Give it up already lugnut Killowag isn’t going to hand himself over to you on a silver platter.” Raising his left hand up to his face Kirn admired his ring.
“He will die by my hands whether he wants to or not, for willpower is nothing compared to fear.”
Picking himself up off the ground Vicon saw Supergirl sent flying underneath a leaning skyscraper. Using his mental powers he dropped the building on Supergirl, Vicon paused and said, “You’re not going to help us until you find Killowag are ya?”
No was his only reply sighing he gestured to the other villains that had helped him fight Supergirl to go on ahead. Bringing up his gauntlet he typed in a new frequency. “Betty where are you?”
“Oh hey boss! I was wondering if you were dead! Hey on a totally unrelated note can I have your stuff when you die?”
“No. But tell me have you seen Killowag?”
“Yea- Hold that thought.” While he was waiting he heard several dozen gunshots. After a minute or so he heard heavy breathing. “Sorry I’ma back!”
“That was a minute.”
“Well I’m sorry if I saw someone trying to take my guns. Anyways I saw Killowag down by the mall complex, well what’s left of it anyways.”
“Alright Betty head there. I’ll be there in a minute.”
“Aight boss! See ya in a minute!” The girl turned off his communicator, causing the line to go dead. Reaching for his gauntlet to switch back to the other channel, he noticed somebody sneaking up from behind him. Flipping forward he turned around, and just in time too, for the lady who had been sneaking up on him just made a huge crater with her fists in the ground.
“How bout you take me on bub!” Rolling his eyes Vicon brought both his hands up and sent her flying into another building, and with a few well-placed telekinetic blasts it was burying her. Turning back to his communicator he switched back to his previous channel. “Kirn, Shadow, I’ve got Killowag’s location. It’s the downtown mall complex, meet me there. And Kirn before you say anything I am not letting you take him on alone.
Swinging his staff into a hero’s face Shadow jumped backwards to avoid the counterblow. Setting his staff ablaze he threw it like a javelin into the hero’s gut. Pulling it out he touched the communicator in his ear. “Let’s have some fun!” Running over to a car he used it as a miniature trampoline and sent himself flying upwards a few stories. When he started to lose speed he used his fire powers to make his hands and feet into artificial jets sending him up to the top floor. “I’ll be there in a minute!”
Standing up from his kneeling position Kirn said into his own communicator, “Just don’t get in my way.” Jumping off the roof he headed towards the mall.

Luna stared at that which she had found in her own dreams. She was both amazed and scared of what she saw in it. Hundreds of thousands of aliens, many of them the same and others being drastically different. Some of them flew through the air blasting those below them to smithereens; others used magic and summoned monsters to do their bidding. Others still used metal sticks that spat out metal and fire, then even more used magic or something of the sorts to manifest constructs like fists, boots, anvils the list goes on and on.
All in all it was a battle for the planet. Taking a few steps forward from her perch she flew into the air passing harmlessly through a few of the combatants. All of a sudden a flash of gold passed through her she wondered what had this one in such a hurry. Flapping her wings she easily caught up to the creature. She wasn’t surprised when it started talking, after all it was her dream albeit it was quite different from what she was used to.
“Shadow where are you at,” Replying to something she couldn’t quite hear, it said “Alright remember mall complex man!” Following the thing she flew in front of it to see if it reacted, when it didn’t she decided to go back to shading it.
After a few minutes of semi-peaceful flying, which meant flying over aliens being dismembered, burnt to crisps among other things the alien suddenly stopped flying. Dropping straight to the roof next to another shorter alien it jumped and looked at the one which she had been shading.
In a cute sing-songy voice the little one hugged the bigger one and said, “Hey Vicy! I was wondering when you were gonna show I was getting all bored like ‘Should I go test out my new bazooka!’ Then I was like nah and now you’re here!”
Picking up the little one Vicy as it was called asked in a much deeper voice, “Have you seen Shadow or Kirn yet?”
“Nopety-nope-nope!”
Sighing the bigger one set her down, or at least Luna thought it was a she. “Well looks like we are going to wait aren’t we?”
A frown appeared on the little one’s face. “But that’s so boring!”
“I know. I know.” The bigger one sat down on the edge of the roof. The little one followed suit.
“Looks like we’re playing the waiting game again Vicy.” Leaning against the Vicy the little one sighed.
“Yeah.” Luna watched the two relax in the middle of a battlefield. She briefly wondered how these things could get so used to battles that they could actually relax.
