A rip in the fabric of reality tore open the skies above Metropolis, and from the swirling abyss emerged the ominous figure of Darkseid. His towering form cast an imposing shadow upon the city below as he levitated, seemingly unaffected by Earth's gravitational pull. Dark clouds gathered, reflecting the malevolence that accompanied his arrival.
Darkseid hovered above the cityscape, his eyes gleaming with the cold, unyielding power of the Omega Beams. His granite-like skin bore the weight of countless conquests, and the air crackled with the aura of impending doom. With both hands clasped behind his back, the Lord of Apokolips surveyed the destroyed city of Metropolis with a disdainful gaze.
Brilliant beams of otherworldly energy erupted from his eyes, leaving trails of destruction in their wake. A sinister smirk crept across his visage as he unleashed the devastating force of his Omega Beams. Buildings crumbled under the relentless assault, their structures disintegrating into clouds of dust and debris.
The city trembled beneath Darkseid's power as he effortlessly targeted anything that dared to catch his attention. Vehicles were incinerated while in mid-motion, their metallic frames reduced to molten slag. The air echoed with the screams of panic as civilians fled, their attempts to escape the wrath of Darkseid proving futile.
The skies themselves seemed to groan in protest as Darkseid's presence distorted the natural order. The once vibrant cityscape transformed into a nightmarish tableau of destruction, with fires blazing amidst the ruins. The very essence of fear permeated the air, choking the hope out of those who witnessed the cosmic despot's malevolent display.
Darkseid's eyes glowed with a cold, calculating brilliance as he continued his merciless assault. Each sweep of his Omega Beams left a scar on Metropolis, a symbol of his absolute power and the impending darkness that had descended upon Earth.
He continued his assaults of destruction as he awaited an interruption from earth champions, the Justice League.
"Hey, ugly." A voice called out to him from behind but he didn't turn to find out who it was, because he couldn't care less of their identity.
"Giving us the silent treatment ugh!" A second voice exclaimed.
"Never mind, we will get your attention either way." Green Lantern stated as six rocket launchers materialized before him, while Flash disappeared in the opposite direction..
Green Lantern launched all six of them at Darkseid but they all exploded in an instant. He materialized two missile launchers and did just as he had done with the rockets.
Without turning or even batting an eye, Darkseid's Omega beams moved through the air in a zigzag motion, destroying the missiles in their tracks.
The beam didn't stop with the missiles but went in pursuit of Green Lantern who managed to materialize a shield in the nick of time.
Unfortunately, he was unable to defend against the Omega beams and destroyed his shield as the shockwave from the collision sent him down. "Come on Barry, hurry." He muttered.
Darkseid slowly approached Green Lantern, ready to incinerate him with another hazardous beam.
Just as he was about to release the beams and melt off Green Lantern's face, Flash arrived at the scene in time and hit him with a sonic punch.
Considering the effort he put into the punch, it had little effect on Darkseid as he only stumbled backwards. Looking in front of him, he saw Aquaman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern, all ready to fight him in defense of their home planet.
"This must be a bad joke." Darkseid said to them as he looked around. "You dare stand against me without your champion in your midst." He added, taking note of Superman's absence.
"Sorry to disappoint, Superman is unavailable right now. Luckily you have us all to yourself and ready to beat you to a pulp instead." Wonder Woman countered before charging in at Darkseid, leading the attack as everyone jumped into action.
…
Back at Lex's underground Lab, Cyborg had everything in place and ready to send Darkseid back to Apokolips but the mother box was yet to lock-in on Apokolips.
"I'm out of here." Cyborg said to Lex as his mechanical arm opened up and safely procured the mother box within it.
Headed towards the elevator, Lex called out to him. "Just so you know, I had no involvement in this madness." Lex said, making it crystal clear that he wasn't willing to take responsibility for the consequences of his actions.
His plea fell on deaf ears as Cyborg didn't entertain him even for a moment, but just proceeded to exit the lab without uttering a single word. He was headed to the battlefield so he could help with the fight against Darkseid, taking to the skies as he left LexCorp.
He flew over what he could hardly believe was the city of Metropolis, it was looking more like a war zone now.
Cyborg spotted them in the distance as he bustled through the air, transforming his arm into a destructive blaster as he closed in on them. He took aim at the preoccupied Darkseid and shot an intense laser blast at Darkseid who tanked the blast like it was nothing.
"Hope am not too late." He inquired from no one in particular as he joined the league members in fighting against swarms of Parademons attacking them.
"Right on time." Green Lantern replied to him with a big thumbs up as he rustled at Darkseid, materializing a gigantic fist construct with metal spikes on its knuckles.
Green Lantern slung a solid blow against Darkseid's face, but his construct immediately shattered into pieces upon impact.
Darkseid bitch slapped him to the side like some pest, dispatching Green Lantern through the air as he bashed into a wall and fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Flash asked as he extended his hand to help him up.
"Of course I am." Green Lantern replied.
He whisked through the air for another attack. "Let's see how you handle this." He quipped.
As he drew-on Darkseid, a train moving with vigorous force instantaneously materialized around him.
He stood firm against the incoming train and did not make the slightest attempt in eluding it. The train crashed against Darkseid but shattered into many glass-like fragments.
Darkseid grabbed the arm which bore Green Lantern's ring and raised him up in the air.
"Ahhh!!!" Green Lantern screamed in pain as Darkseid crushed his arm, flew to the top of the Daily Planet, then whacked Green Lantern against the monumental golden statue at the top of the building.
"Lantern!!"
Wonder Woman called out in concern as she cut off a parademon's arm and decapitated it on the spot.
Flash ran up there and grabbed Green Lantern as he immediately took him to safety, decamping him from the fight. Wonder Woman made a break for Darkseid with her sword in hand, but he fired his Omega beams at her.
She dodged them as she continued to advance but the Omega beams made a dynamic turn and chased from behind. She made a sharp turn as she brought both hands together and blocked the beams with her bracelets, just at the nick of time.
As she turned around to resume her attack, Darkseid struck her to the ground and started a rush of violent blows, crating the ground with every blow. "I'll ensure you die a painful death, Amazon." He said to her as he raised his hand and landed a heavy blow on her chest.
Aquaman leaped in the air with his trident in hand as he struck Darkseid from behind. His attack proved to be ineffective as his trident bounced off Darkseid's armor.
Darkseid violently kicked Wonder Woman like a soccer ball, dispersing her so he could give Aquaman the attention he seeked.
Aquaman charged in for another attack but was so unfortunate as Darkseid quickly disarmed him of his weapon and stabbed him with his own trident.
He coughed up blood as the trident speared through his torso, and slowly dropped on his knees.
Cyborg was preoccupied with bringing an end to the swarm of parademons which were interrupting their fight against Darkseid, when he saw the bleeding Aquaman drop to the ground.
Cyborg ran a quick scan on his vitals and saw that they were definitely going to lose him if nothing was done on time.
With rage filled eyes, Wonder Woman engaged Darkseid once more, while Flash disappeared with Aquaman who was barely alive at that moment.
"I'm taking him to Central City, hopefully Star Labs might be able to save him." Flash communed with Cyborg and Wonder Woman as he continued his run.
Starting with Green Lantern, their numbers had been reduced to just Cyborg and Wonder Woman. Hopefully Superman, Batman and Martian Manhunter make it on time or else it might spell the end of the League as we know it.

Wonder Woman battled head on with Darkseid, exchanging blow for blow. Left, right, and with an uppercut, she punched him into a building, pursuing him through the air as she continued with her series of blows.
He caught her fist mid attack as he turned over in the air, flinging her by her arm as she burst out the other side of the building. Darkseid chased after her but was suddenly cut off by laser blasts the moment he came out the building.
Looking above him he spotted Cyborg who flew around the air, still shooting at him. Darkseid flew after him but was abruptly stopped in his tracks by Wonder Woman's lasso which she used to throw him into a construction site
They pursued him into the construction site as metal beams crashed to the ground. A beam flew out the dust cloud and struck Cyborg in the air, when Darkseid suddenly emerged right in front of Wonder Woman, grabbing her by the neck as he dived her to the ground, driving her along the ground with trails behind as she struggled to free herself from his grip.
Darkseid pinned her to the ground with his knee pressing on her torso as his hands pushed hers against the ground, swiftly using the back of his fist to smack her across the face.
His eyes glowed menacingly as he severed her left arm with his Omega beams. She screamed in pain as blood gushed out of her severed limb.
"Remember what I said, I always make good on my word." He said with a wicked smirk tugged at the side of his lips. His eyes glowed crimson red as he aimed to finish the job by drilling through her eye sockets with his Omega beams.
Wonder Woman struggled to get Darkseid off her but he wouldn't budge. She stared into his soulless eyes and spat on his face, knowing this might be the end of her.
"Don't worry Amazon, your fellow heroes will be right behind." Darkseid said with a menacing growl as his Omega beams charged up.
Just as he was about to scorch through her eye sockets, red hot lasers hit him on his shoulder and he was forced off of her.
He looked up to see Superman hovering in the sky, gritting his teeth in anger. That instant, Flash returned to the scene and punched Darkseid with another sonic punch which almost knocked him off his feet but only ended up stumbling backwards until he regained his footing.
Cyborg shot Darkseid with a blast which packed quite a punch, unlike his previous attacks. Superman tore through the air at sonic speed and whacked Darkseid into an underground parking lot.
"I never thought I would say this but, I am glad you're okay." Flash said to Batman who was busy giving Wonder Woman the little first aid he could provide at the moment.
"What's our status?" Batman asked, ignoring Flash's comment as he focused more on the situation.
As Flash filled him in, Superman held Darkseid to the floor of the underground parking lot, giving him three heavy blows, then proceeded to laser him on the chest with his heat vision.
Darkseid let out a grunt as he shot his Omega beams at Superman who quickly got off him in an attempt to escape the beam's reach.
Flash ran through the parking lot then punched Darkseid across the face, canceling out the Omega beams that were locked-on and in chase of Superman.
Martian Manhunter appeared from beneath the ground as he materialized behind Darkseid, He shot Darkseid with his heat vision.
Darkseid turned around to grab him but his hand passed through the Martian. Superman landed an uppercut on Darkseid, lifted him off his feet as he speared him upward, smashing him through each floor in the parking lot, continuously bashing him through the concrete until they got out to the surface.
Darkseid used his elbow to strike Superman in the back, grabbing onto his cape as he aggressively whacked him on the ground over and over again, then rammed him into a building.
Flash ran circles around Darkseid, concentrating his lightning as he shot it at point blank range. The moment Darkseid had been waiting for since all the while Flash kept playing peekaboo, finally arrived.
Before he realized it, Darkseid grabbed hold of his arm, pulled him in, then crushed his knee.
*Aghhh!!!!*
Flash cried out in pain as Darkseid moved him to the side and crushed his other knee. Martian Manhunter rushed in, and with great speed Darkseid hurled Flash his way.
Martian Manhunter caught Flash in his arms when he suddenly let out a shrill scream as he collapsed and both bodies dropped to the ground. Darkseid's Omega beams made their way to his back and struck his back the moment he caught Flash.
Exiting the debris and rubbles, Superman got even angrier upon witnessing the aftermath of what had happened, and charged through the air with rage in his eyes. Darkseid weaved to the side in a quick motion as Superman completely missed his target.
He caught him by his cape as he yanked Superman back, then smacked him through a short distance in the air as Cyborg attacked Darkseid from behind.
Darkseid viciously hunted him through the skies, dodging his blasts as he closed in on him. He caught Cyborg and lifted him up to the sky like some sacrifice as Superman darted at him, trying to stop him from completing what he was about to do.
Before he could get to him, Darkseid ripped apart Cyborg's upper body from his lower half, hurling his lower half at Superman.
…
[Tom Hendricks POV]
I got to the heart of the action about twenty minutes earlier, and within the past ten, I've watched Darkseid violently take down most of the League members.
I currently had the best seat in the city, watching them fight from way up in the night sky. Superman engaged Darkseid, while Batman carried the beaten heroes to a presumably safe zone, one after the other.
He shot his grapple hook into the walls of a building and zipped himself into the air, then hurled explosives at Darkseid as he swung past him.
The explosion didn't seem to phase Darkseid but Superman took advantage of it and struck him with all his might. "That's some good teamwork right there." I muttered as I remained a spectator to their battle.
I could probably drop into the fight and help take down Darkseid, but it would seem like poking my nose in hero business, we all know how that turned out the last time I did.
Call it pride or whatever you might, but I demand an invitation. Didn't know how I was going to get one though, so I decided to wait until the heroes were probably killed off or mortally wounded by Darkseid.
"Sir, you have an unread text message from Rachel." Gwen informed me. "At a time like this?" I muttered as it seemed illogical for her to send me a text when the world might get plunged into eternal suffering.
Technically this fight might lead to the end of our world if we were to lose, I guess sending a goodbye text or a love message wouldn't be too absurd.
I clicked on my earpiece and the message displayed on my now visible visor. [Hey Tommy, I know it's not the ideal time to send a text and your phone might be elsewhere. But if you're seeing this, please help humanity win this battle. I know you have the power to save our world, I've seen it, so please help us win even if you have to fight alongside the heroes.
Although I know you probably wouldn't, so please just put an end to all this already…]
I canceled the text there, I didn't feel like reading any further. I guess I have to drop in, I am already itching to clash against the guy who has sent most of the League members near their death beds. I guess it wouldn't be fair to call him the grinch because he didn't only steal Christmas, he literally destroyed it.
Well, I gotta make my way into my 1V1 sooner than later.
…
Batman shot his grapple hook at a building and zipped through the air once more, but unfortunately for him the building structures in the area had been weakened and the hook pulled out the wall just as he had reached for something in his utility.
Darkseid, seeing that Batman had lost his balance mid air, intensified the force of his Omega beams and shot at him. Batman quickly hurled some exploding batarang at them but they slipped through the explosion, headed for him.
Batman shot another grapple hook to change his position but the beams followed him and were about hitting him.
"Agghhhh"
Superman groaned in pain as he intercepted, quickly making his way in front of Batman and got hit in the chest with the beams, forcefully sending him to the ground, unconscious.
"Are you sure you can win against me? You know what I am. You know the doubt in your heart. You so-called heroes are false gods, all of you. And when people stop believing in you, you'll shatter like glass." Darkseid said to Batman as his Omega beams glowed with ominous energy, promising destruction.
"Don't think you've won yet. Even if you kill us, there are others who will carry on our will and will eventually bring you down." Batman replied as he stood to his feet, maintaining his stoic demeanor even at the face of death. He found himself in an open space, the buildings had been destroyed and there was nothing he could use to tank the beam.
"Let them try." Darkseid responded as he released his Omega beams right at Batman, and with no hope of avoiding the attack.
Batman looked Darkseid in the eyes as he watched the beam make its way to him, just as it was about making contact and disintegrating him to ashes, Ace appeared right in front of him.
The beam seemed to hit him right on his forehead but got dispersed both ways, Batman's eyes widened as they hit the ground behind them and exploded.
"Guess I'm right on time." Ace said with a smug tone as a smirk tugged to the side of his lips beneath his mask.
