INTRODUCTORY ACTION SCENE- LIKE IN SUPERMAN 2

China announces a Celebration of the Great Wall to be completed.

Lois Lane is at the Great Wall, and there are fireworks.

A Chinese traditionalist group attacks the forces to prevent the

great wall being completed, led by 'The Grand Dragon'super warrior

who takes Lois. Superman finds out and flies to China, confronts the

Grand Dragon Warrior, and persuades him to release Lois, and that

there is a better way than confrontation – negotiation. The grand

warrior is able to negotiate the great wall staying as it is. Later on

at the Daily Planet they discuss this and lois says to Clark that it could

have been kind of interesting though, the great wall being finished.



Focus on Lex and his prison life.

Lex is freed by the same old goons.

Lucifer Reborn Part 7

'Where are we?' asked Lucifer.

Yahweh the God of the Covenant poured out his tea.

'I am not a triune God,' he said.

Lucifer continued looking around the complex, and looked at the old Englishman. 'Funny,' he finally replied. 'I took it you were something approaching that supposedly in the teaching of Christendom. You are saying you are a Muslim deity?'

'The earlier flock?' replied God.

'The Jews?' queried Lucifer. 'How original. Keeping the faith with Israel. How noble of you. Amusing. I suspected funny business as well. Since the beginning it appeared not to be the case, Triunity. But Augustine was terribly persuasive.'

'He had his charms,' replied God. 'This place is a hostel and home of sorts. Not too far from our last dining experience. Lower down a bit, a bit this way, a bit that way, and Bob's your uncle.'

'Fascinating. Through the portal – I had no idea where I was going. Why did you summon me? I recall our speaking again was not required.'

'Your words Samael. I may have agreed for a while, but I shall do as I shall do. I wanted to talk about Beyond.'

Lucifer scratched his leg, stood, and started wandering off around the facility. He found residents here and there engaged in this and that. They seemed like Yahwehs regular cronies. Quiet, obedient, preoccupied. Finally, having seen enough, he returned to the Father in Flesh.

'What do you wish to know?' asked Lucifer.

'Who do you think created it?' asked God.

Lucifer stared at God. 'In him we live and breathe and have our being? Is that what you are saying?'

'Your energy and power is created within you by my own ability. So is your life force. You are an angelic child of God. How can you think this changes in some way? How can you create your own life force and energy? It comes from the spark I have placed within you? This universe. There are ways it operates. There are ways it function. There is design at work. What makes you think it can run happily contrary to that design? An elevator makes a poor automobile, no matter how much the libertarian insists on their rights of self determination.'

'You are arguing the moral constants of your own declaration. Old news I'm afraid. Not buying it anymore?'

'And you can design a better world?' asked God, sipping on his tea.

'Of course,' said Lucifer.

'I will cut a very long story short. I am prepared to allow you to expand Beyond in the realm it is within. To your hearts content. But you will find, in time, no matter how much you declare your righteous truths, they will behave in certain ways you can not control and crave certain ways of life which you insist are too – dogmatic – to be tolerated. It is what is in a person.'

Lucifer went silent. 'At the least, I would like to find that out for myself.'

'Then you shall,' said God. 'This place is called the Castle of Quiet Escape. It's a regular enough recluse with its own charms and wonders.'

'Fascinating,' replied the devil, and sipped on his tea. 'If that is all?'

'Good day good sir,' replied God.

'Good day,' replied the Devil.

A Day in the Life of the Justice League International

Particle Man and Blue Beetle Live it Up

Particle Man from the Hero Group was firing Particle beneath Ted Kord's feet. They were in the extensive larder of Queen Bee of Bialya.

'A little more,' said BlueBeetle.

Particle Man concentrated and increased the particle load beneath Blue Beetle's feet. Blue Beetle gravitated a little higher in the air.

'A little more,' said Blue Beetle.

'This is taking some effort,' replied Particle Man, but increased his work again.

Blue Beetle rose again.

'That's it,' said Ted, and reached up to the top shelf and grabbed the sixpack of carefully stored beer. He jumped down and handed Particle man a can, and they sat on the larder floor, drinking grog.

'She's a muslim,' said Particle Man. 'Keeps that stuff hard to get.'

'Hey, no skin off my nose,' said Blue Beetle, and burped. 'This is good Bialyan beer.'

'Hey, life's a party,' said Particle Man, and they drank the rest of the sixpack that afternoon, and got a tinsy bit drunk in the process. In the morning, when Queen Bee and her guards opened the larder which had been locked, accidentally locking inside Blue Beetle and Particle Man of the Hero Group, they found the two heroes, sleeping, a pile of beer cans around them, and empty packets of potato crisps, mars bars, and ice cream containers.

'They have eaten all the good stuff,' said a guard.

'Queen Bee kicked the two heroes and there eyes opened. 'I should make you pay for all of that,' she said.

'Yes, your majesty,' replied Particle Man, bowing to Queen Bee.

'Got any chocolate fudge sauce?' Asked Blue Beetle. 'We've still got a 4 litre of plain vanilla to polish off. Bwah ha ha ha.'

'Take them away,' sighed Queen Bee, and looked at the mess and thought on her impending shopping list the Kitchenmaid would soon present her with. More damn bills.

The End



Def Leppard Adventures - Pyromania

Chapter 1 Def Leppard was in a mood. Billy was back in the gang, and had a new gun he'd bought from Die Hard. It was a GHT467X. Deadly. They were out the back of Def's place, smoking, drinking booze. The babes were strewn around the pool. 'Is this Taylor Girl the main Squeeze Def?' asked Billy. 'She could be,' replied Def. 'But I'm a long time Marilyn faithful. She is the photograph my heart can't move on from.' Def looked over at Taylor and Marilyn chatting. Babes in their bikinis. 'What you gonna do with your gun Billy?' asked Def. 'There is some action coming up. I'll be under fire. It will need less words and more action to cope with the Stagefright.' 'Borrow Taylor. She likes the limelight,' said Def. 'Too late for that love,' said Billy. 'I had my eye on her once, but she's a love story I just can't cope with.' 'Yeh, Love bites,' replied Def. Still, you'll shoot up some hot action when you get going on the new scene.' 'He'll be like a rock of ages,' said Die Hard. 'He'll never go out of fashion.' Def Leppard thought on that. 'It's hard not to get to jaded. Dated. But we rock on, and the new kids show up.' 'Ain't that the truth,' agreed Billy and Die Hard. THE END.



Def Leppard Adventures - Hysteria

Chapter 1 Def Leppard was with Mars. The God of War. 'Diana. She's hot,' said Def Leppard. 'Aye,' replied Mars. 'Wonder Woman rules the Superhero Universe. But keep your eyes off her, Def. Marilyn is your girl.' 'Life moves on,' replied Def. He looked up at the sign at the back of his pad against the wall. 'ANIMAL. All New Incredible Majestic American Lovers'. 'Aye,' said Mars, looking at the sign. 'Your biggest audience the Yanks.' 'They love me the most,' said Def. 'American Women especially. Can't get enough of the Deffster. I run riot all through America when crusing Wonderland.' 'Plenty of Love and Affection, huh?' replied Mars. 'So damn excitable it's like Armageddon itself,' said Def. 'I get going with some passion, the Women Love me, get in the cruise control mood, get rocked on the radio, and as the cameral rolls and the action unfolds, they film my exploits. When it goes on TV later that week, all through the land they are chanting to Def Leppard. They love me.' 'You'll have to take on the Doom Bitches again. They have some Leppard Girls who they have under their control. Corrupting them in the Darkseid of the Force. Out on Apokolips,' said Mars. 'That could be a problem,' replied Def Leppard. THE END.



Nailbiter.

Bites his nails.  Blonde.  Wears a T-shirt with a smily

face and pants with suspenders, as well as a red cap.

Criminal.  Doesn't kill people, but robs a lot, and does

a lot of pranks.  Watches a lot of movies and bites

his nails and says 'It's Scary' when he's watching them

and sometimes, when people in the cinema say

''Pipe it down' he erupts and fury at them and shouts

'Shut the hell up' yelling on his feet.  He also watches

movies at home. He's a Batman/Blue Beetle/Booster

Gold & Harley Quinn villain.



Finger

Black lady with long hair and is pretty.  She wears slacks

and a t shirt with a 'up yours' flipping the bird finger on it.

She is in the habit of giving the finger.  Like nailbiter she

is a tough street fighter.  She is a criminal sort of person

but not really about crime for the sake of crime or to get

rich - more of a brat and a prankster after a fun time.

She's a Batman/Blue Beetle/Booster Gold & Harley Quinn

villain also.

Blue & Gold: The Chronos Factor



Blue & Gold: Heavy Hitting

'Level 2, Blue Beetle,' said the Commodore 64 voice processor.

'How come we deal with C64 technology?' asked Ted to Booster Gold.

'Works well,' replied Booster Gold. 'Has the basic flows of computer engineering understood well. Programmers can use 64 knowledge to clearly complete task and organise things well. Smoothly. Basic and ML have great capabilities when handled with skill.'

'I see,' replied Ted. 'Ok Computer. Level 2.'

'It is more – complicated,' said the computer.

'Bring it,' said Ted, and entered the training room.

5 robots entered the room. They looked like R2D2.

'They are expensive to rebuild, Mr Kord. If you damage them to excessively you will face deduction of your hero wage. Take care and defeat them with precision and class. Do not be destruction. Codes of heroes keep the cities under control now in their brawling with the dark side. Terribly high expenses otherwise.'

'Gotcha,' replied Ted. He entered into the training area, and took out his air gun. An R2 unit came forth, and out of its head came a light camera. It showed a picture of Princess Leia in her famous bikini. 'I want you Ted,' she said. 'You and me dude. How about it?'

'Sounds good,' said Ted.

At that moment and R2 unit had snuck up behind him, and branding a poker tazer, zapped his butt.

'Unnggh,' squirmed Ted.

'Basic delusionary tactic Ted,' said Booster Gold. 'You should have seen that coming.'

Ted turned and looked at the R2 unit. It whirred softly.

'Aw, I forgive you little fella,' said Ted, and patted his head.

At that moment the 3rd R2 Unit had sped up and rammed Ted from the side, sending him collapsing.

Ted got up. 'Dirty play, huh?'

'Whirre,' said the 3rd R2 unit.

Ted aimed his air gun, bu the 4th R2 Unit used a magnet and extracted the air gun from Ted's grasp.

'Shit,' said Ted.

'What you are in,' said Booster.

The R2 units gathered then, as one, in front of Blue Beetle. They brandished Robot War daggers emerging from their head units.

'I could be stuffed,' said Ted. 'Time to kick into action.' He kicked the first one, and it fell on its side. He toppled the second one over, and it whirred its wheels helplessly. Grabbing the net from the side of the room, he grabbed the 3 other units and tied them up, and tied the net against a hook on the wall. He dusted his hands together, and came over to Booster Gold.

'Effective enough. And the units are in acceptable condition,' said the voice. 'But it was only level 2 Blue Beetle. Level 3 will increase the actioin with droids you have a degree more liberty to get more action oriented with.'

'No kidding,' said Ted.

'All in a days work,' said Booster. 'Let's get a drink.'

And, so leaving the Super Buddies training room, they went off for refreshments, leaving a C3PO unit shaking his head, and restoring his R2 units to their proper standing.

The End



Blue & Gold: Heavy Hitting 2

'Now would be a good time, Ted,' said Ice.

'Pretty much,' replied Fire.

'It's barely started to bubble,' said Ted.

'We could let it,' said Booster.

'We'll use our powers,' said Ice.

'I promise you, it won't be pretty,' said Fire.

The savages with the brandished spears looked hostilely towards Blue & Gold.

'We need to rescue them,' said Ted, talking also with his hands. 'They are the Super Buddies.'

'There will be a ransom to pay,' said a savage in an accent. 'Cigarettes. Kord Industries cigarettes. We have noticed your Luxury Goods line. Cigarettes will do.'

'Fine,' said Ted. He took out his notebook, and wrote a slip. '500 cases of cigarettes. I've signed the note. Will that do?'

The savage took the note, and they left the enclosure.

Booster undid the ropes, and fire and ice got out.

'We're too polite to normally do much,' said Fire. 'But I was tempted.'

'They are savvy, if you really must know,' said Ted Kord, looking at the savages climbing into their tree houses. 'They have technology in the central trunks. They are not real trees. And it goes down as a network underground. The apparel is to put people off and give a false impression. It's a complex society of about 100,000 down beneath us. Strict protocols and well oranised. Semi-hedonistic, as pleasure is a big part of the program, but they have ethics and act decently towards each other.'

'Kind of like the Super Buddies,' said Booster, handing the girls a towel from his backpack.

'Were is the X factor?' asked Ice. 'We couldn't find it.'

'Jonn said it would be on the island. He didn't say were on the island. Just that it would be on the island. The Y factor is Batman and Superman's concern, and Flash and the Lantern are handling the Z factor. Our job is to find X.'

'Doctor XYZ is a new one,' said Ice. 'I don't think I've heard of him before.'

'He's obviously another madman with a bend on science to the world's detriment. Or some other logic which motivates him,' said Ted.

'Like Kord industries,' said Fire, as they started wandering through the forest looking for the X Factor. The X, Y & Z factors were boxes with electronics in them. They were codes Doctor XYZ had send them off to find, lest the world suffer a nuclear attack.

'Wonder Woman is handling things in Metropolis,' said Ice, looking at her wrist monitor. 'Doctor XYZ from these reports and his droids are causing a lot of mayhem. Superman is with Batman out in the Kuiper belt somewhere, and the Dominators are present again, studying Earth. The Y Factor is out there somewhere. And Flash and Lantern are in Fiji, looking around. They'll find Z.'

'So we find X,' said Ted. 'And disarm those bombs before they launch.'

'So we find X,' said Fire.

And they got on with their search.

The End



CATWOMAN MOVIE REVIEW

Critics who panned 'Catwoman' are morons. I'm half way through the flick, and it's awesome. I'm pretty sure these days a lot of the critics of DC movies are people who don't understand well. Life in general. They don't understand well. But not just DC movies, but lots of things. I think a lot of the critics are haters and people who don't understand something on its own merit. Catwoman so far is a perfectly consistent, logical and entertaining movie. DC movies are not required to be kickass action superhero movies. They are required to be good movies. And Catwoman so far is very, very good. Charm. A fine selection from days a little further back when they were not so carnal as they are in today's movies. It's good stuff. It's positive, happy and that word again – charm. It's got heaps of charm. It's got strong social feel to it, and Halle is really very likeable as Catwoman, but more, as Patience Phillips. It's really good. It's not quite 100% a DC sort of Catwoman. Not quite. It's more of a fresh Catwoman of a more original nature. But that said, it is a DC project, and this new Catwoman has come into the corpus of DC movies as a new idea for Catwoman. I'm really enjoying this movie so far. Far from boring, and the pace is good enough for me, and the decent language is very appealing. My recent burst with Birds of Prey was a rush of intense language and action. Catwoman is far more sedate, but really quite lovely. If you appreciate genuinely cool and charming movies, watch this one. I can't speak in the end for everyones taste in things. If you are expect DC Catwoman, you'll get her somewhat, but if you just want a refreshing and cool movie, believe me, I'm taken with her. First class stuff.



Superbuddies and a Depressed Brimstone

The Bug is flying through the sky above the Atlantic Ocean. Blue & Gold are at the control deck. Banter. BB looks to the side as Batman & Robin in the Batplane sidles up alongside them, followed by Wonder Woman in the Wonder Jet alongside Batman. Superman flies on the left side of the Bug. They approach an island and Firestorm is fighting Brimstone. Doomsday suddenly lands on the front window of the Bug out of nowhere. He glares at Blue and Gold and then leaps onto the Batplane. He gets on top and starts smoking his cigar. Damian puts on his magnetic boots and goes out with his cane and starts whacking Doomsday. Doomsday gives Robin a casual glance, but otherwise ignores him. Damian gives up and goes back inside. They near the island, and Brimstone breathes fire at the Bug. 'We're going down,' yells Ted. 'We're blistered,' said Booster. The bug crashes on the island. Batman lands the Batjet near the Bug, as wonder woman also does. Superman and Wonder Woman start helping Firestorm fighting Brimstone. Batman watches the action, and Doomsday starts wrestling Brimstone's leg. Suddenly mini Brimstones human size appear and start wrestling Blue and Gold. Then a Big female Brimstone with a pony tail shows and shrieks. 'His Wife,' says Batman. Superman says to Brimstone 'Why are you fighting?' Brimstone glares at him then sits down crouched. He opens up his hands. Wonder Woman feels like she might know what is going on. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman find the villagers who had complained, and it is surmised from the Villagers that Brimstone has moved in. 'He needs somewhere to live,' says Wonder Woman. The Villagers want compensation and Batman forks over cash for Brimstone to live on the Island. The situation is resolved and they repair the Bug and leave.



Blue Beetle Corps: Quasar Conundrums

Blue Beetle is in the Scrapers. He is using binoculars to spy on Cloudflame and Scorcher on the scraper across the road. Scorcher and Cloudflame dive off the scraper and plummet down. Ted watches concerned. They land on the ground and enter the building which is 'Quasar Tech'. This volume involves Firefist's securing the 'Quasar Burst' which enable star travel for space in superior speeds and laser powered technology.

The Plummet: 'Remember,' says Scorcher. 'Don't burst on till just before the bottom.' They plummet head first, but half way down they burst on and slow down a bit, looking at people inside the building as they are in flames, then they descend to the bottom. They enter inside and people are aware of the two El Paso brats, and security cops meet them at the entrance. They zap them with their powers which are developing and the guards are propelled against the walls, knocked out unconscioius. They descend down stairwells, into sub-basement 4, break through security doors, and find the secret lab, which holds the technical research papers and some of the technology, which they retrieve. They meet Blue Beetle at the top of the stairs, near the entrance, who is helping the guards recover. 'Stolen property by the looks of it kid,' said Blue Beetle. 'Whatcha gonna do about it bug breath,' replied Scorcher Beetle takes out his gun, and warns them. 'Cops again, I'm afraid. Hard time.' 'Bite me,' says Cloudlflame, and they fly past him and escape. BB resheathes his air gund, and a guard says 'You're going to need a lot more than that thing to handle those two.' And BB says 'I know.'



Gold Beetle Confronts Aquarius

I am Aquarius, said Aquarius, looking in the mirror. He looked at himself. I'm not that tough am I? The reflection did not reply. Come on dude, he said. I am Aquarius. He glared at himself.

Your a starsign, said Feebler.

Why do I feed you Feebler? Queried Aquarius.

I'm a Celestial Chipmunk you acquired from Mr Miracle. One of New Genesis's finest creatures. Why wouldn't you acquire me dimwit.

Sometimes I wonder, replied Aquarius.

You have the Tarot Deck, queried Feebler.

The new age has dawned, replied Aquarius. And my cards are imbued with power.

Then let us strike this convention and dazzle them. And when are all under the spell, rich pickings.

Indeed, replied Aquarius, and grabbing Feebler, made for downstairs.

I have a golden joker, said the joker.

Golden jokers are worth not much, said Bruce Wayne. Barely a power structure.

Silver jokers are ok, said Gold Beetle. Silver Jokers work well with the Diamond Warrior cards. Gold melts in the action against Black and Red dragons too much.

Booster Gold laid down a card in the Aquarian Tarot Deck. The Wyvvern of Madness, said Booster Gold.

Blue Beetle looked in the rule book. Some abilities. Can turn opponents mad, but he can be countered.

The game went on. Aquarius entered the room. Ladies and gentlemen. Behold my cards.

Behold his cards, said Feebler, sitting on Aquarius shoulder.

Aquarius brought out his magical deck of Aquarian Tarot cards and, one by one, with spellcraft, flicked them into the centre of the room where they hung glowing in the air. The heroes and villains all looked on.

Hey, he's Aquarius isn't he?' asked Booster.

Where our cards came from, said Gold Beetle. He gave us a pack near the beginning of the convention. I don't think ours are powered though.

Aquarius muttered something, and the cards started forming a circle and marching around in circle form.

Gold Beetle watched on and picked up the rest of the deck of cards but dropped them. Oops, I'll pick them up, she said, getting underneath the table to gather up the cards.

AQUARIUS yelled Aquarius, and suddenly the cards splayed outwards and surrounded the heroes and villains and energy of Aquarius came from the cards, putting them all in a trance. As they were tranced, Feebler and Aquarius started robbing the heroes and villain one by one. Shortly Gold Beetle got back up from under the table. Got them all fellas, she said. She looked at Blue Beetle. His face was all up in a weird smile. As she looked around the table and the room, everyone was caught up like that. Then she noticed Aquarius and his chipmunk. They were robbing everyone.

Time to be a hero, she said to herself. She jumped to her feet and rushed over to Aquarius.

Halt ye unrepentant villain, she said.

Use a card, said Feebler.

I've used them all, said Aquarius.

Gulp, went Feebler.

Take that,' said Gold Beetle, and did a karate chop on Aquarius arm. And soon they fell to a struggle, but Gold Beetle was well trained, and soon had him pinned, and then handcuffed him.

Release the spell, she said.

Bite me, replied Aquarius.

Gold beetle pushed his arm in pain.

'Fine, said Aquarius. He yelled RELEASE and the Aquarian cards fell to the ground. The heroes and villans came to their senses, and Batman soon worked out what had transpired.

Good work, he said to Gold Beetle. I'll take him to the local jail.

I'll get my revenge, Gold Beetle, said Aquarius.

See you in court, said Gold Beetle. Your busted Zodiac Villain.

Bah, humbug, said Feebler, as Batman led them away.

Gold Beetle, after people stopped clapping, returned to her seat,and sat down, the heroes and villains looking at her.

Gold Beetle saves the day, said Blue Beetle.

Who else, said Booster Gold.

About my Golden Joker, said Joker, and the arguments started up again, as Gold Beetle sighed, and grabbed the rules book to work out her next move.

The End

Batman: The Real McCoy

Officer McCoy surveyed the grim streets of Gotham. He was on patrol from New York, coming to Gotham chasing up a lead. The Batman was up ahead of him, on the heights of a office block, surveying the scene below. The Crimson Avenger Gang. The Pretend Crimson Avenger Gang. Drinking beer. They had Crimson Avenger logos on their jackets now, and prided themselves on being his cultic devotees. Officer McCoy was not impressed, neither the Batman. He strode up, hand on his holster, and Batman swung down in their midst.

'Shit, it's the Batman,' said one of the gang members.

'We don't want no trouble, Batman,' said another.

McCoy appeared. 'Batman won't give you any trouble, lads. I'm Officer McCoy from New York. I need information.'

'We ain't no snitches,' said one of the gang members.

Batman took the gang member by the collar, and glared into his eyes.

'What do you want to know?' replied the gang member nervously.

'Jack Bedlington came into town last night. I'm chasing him up. He's wanted for discussions on some incidents in New York.'

'Jack is down at wharf,' said a gang member. 'Waiting for someone. He's down at the bar there.'

'Thank you,' replied Officer McCoy.

Batman let the youth go, and they departed. Later, at the wharf, Jack fired shots at the Batman, but they ricocheted off his armour. Batman apprehended him.

'I'll take it your guilty then,' said the Batman.

'I ain't guilty of nothing,' replied Jack Bedlington.

'That's a double negative,' said officer McCoy, showing his face. 'You're wanted for questioning back in New York. You're coming with me.'

Jack looked up at the face of the Batman, behind his mask, all fearsome and powerful and grim.

'Fine,' he said. 'Better than the Dark Knight and his Grim personality.'

'Glad you like me,' said the Batman.

'Yeh. You're a laugh right,' replied Jack.

So Jack was taken by Officer McCoy, who saluted to Batman, as the Caped Crusade took to the heights again, soon swinging away, as Office McCoy took his man, and soon enough was gone from the grim and gritty streets of Gotham City.

The End

Booster Gold: Citadel of Gold

Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are on the highway from Canberra to Sydney, driving along. Booster is in the left hand, while Blue is driving. Booster nods off, and is in a dream. He visits a manor of the Endless, and Destiny greets him. Destiny asks him what he thinks the future might hold. Booster says he really doesn't know what he wants. Destiny then says Dream has a Dream for him, and Booster settles down in a chair, while Dream whittles at a piece of wood and starts talking and says 'Let me Tell You a Story'. Booster drifts off in the seat.

Booster awakens in green meadows where there is a city in the distance. The city is surrounded by siege engines. Booster is in his costume, and Skeets says its time to go rescue the city. Booster charges into action and helps defend the city against the invaders, defeating them. Booster is cheered, and taken to the King, who puts him in charge of the city's defense. Booster stays in the city and gets to know people. After a while the King dies, and Booster decides to redesign the city with modern technology, having been appointed the new King. Booster turns the city into 'The Citadel of Gold' which is a Utopian Society where everything is automated and the people live in perfect peace and happiness with each other, with endless entertainment things to do. But Booster is sitting on his throne, in his golden robes one day, and is mulling over life. It's just not working out. He's forgotten who he was. Then Blue Beetle arrives as an angel on his shoulder and asks him, 'Don't you want the fun you once had with us, buddy?' Booster says he is a King now and has responsibilities. Guy Gardner, as a devil appears on his other shoulder and says 'So you sold out. Didn't expect much from you Gold.' Booster shakes them off and stands up declaring 'I am Booster Gold, king of the Citadel of Gold. I answer to nobody.' He sleeps that night, but is restless, and awakes with little faires of Fire and Ice on his doona. 'Your half the man you used to be,' said Fire. 'All full of golden pride,' says Ice. 'Go away,' says Booster. He gets on with his day, but on the throne in the afternoon he says 'It's just not really me.' And Martian Manhunter shows up as a sprite and says 'Come back to yourself Gold. You're just no King.' Booster starts sobbing on the throne and says 'I am a King,' over and over again, with his head in his hands. And then, back in the car on the way to Sydney he emerges from his dream. He looks at the countryside, and looks at Ted.

'You nodded off for a while,' says Ted. 'Hope you had a lovely dream buddy.'

'Yeh,' replies Booster Gold. 'You could say that.'

The End





Bumblebee Movie

(Plot Details)

This idea might work: Hailee Steinfeld as Bumblebee (Super Hero Girls) in a Solo Live Action Movie. Then launch a Bumblebee ongoing.

Bumblebee movie starring Hailee Steinfeld: Bumblebee starts selling honey. She has her picture on the jar and says 'Buy my honey'. The Adversary to her is 'Punchline'. Punchlines launches a Hostile Takeover of competing honey sellers. Bumblebee is going down.

Punchline corners Bumblebee and threatens to drop her into a vat of boiling honey. (Similar imagery to 'Batman' movie with Michael Keaton)

Bumblebee is at Go Teen Titans Tower. They are out of food and go shopping. BB & Raven are pushing the Kart. Starfire and Robin are like Kids always saying get this and get that.

BB wants a serious job and Robin says let me introduce you to Batman. Bruce Wayne interviews her and gives her a job at Wayne Foods. she is in charge of honey.

Joker (Jared Leto) finds out about the honey ads on TV with bumblebee and Punchline starts her own honey company and buys up honey companies. She is going to take out BB in the honey war. This is in the live action Go Teen Titans Universe.

BB movie. Use the Titans from the tV show in teh movie for BB.

BB Movie. Obviously Joker & Punchline like Jokes. They line the Honey they are producing with special chemicals, which are reagents. Later, when they drop a certain gas into Gotham, the people who have eaten honey turn into Zombies.

The people who ate BBs honey did not turn into honey, which is what some people on the streets say. 'I eat BBs honey'. The Honey Wars was very competitive, with TV ads where Punchline mocked Bumblebee's pathetic efforts.

Bumblebee with the Titans and Batman in the background are ont he streets of Gotham, helping the normal people fight off the Zombies. The showdown is at Punchline's Honey Company, where Punchline is captured. 'No more honey for you, Punchline,' says BB.

a Punchline replies 'I never had much of a sweet tooth anyway.' Joker gets away

Punchline's honey has punchline on it. It says, 'Buy my honey, or else'.

There is a scene where Punchline is at the breakfast table (ad) showing a family her honey, and she presents the money like a model, and it says something dumb like 'Punchline's Honey. It's got a real kick'.

Aftermath: Robin eating a sandwich at TT tower. 'What's in it?' asks BB. Robin says, Honey. Whose, asks BB. BB looks in the kitchen. It's Punchline's honey. BB goes back, and Robin has turned into a vampire. Here we go again, says punchline.

Flash 2022: Dark Charlatan

Dark Charlatan has infiltrated Keystone City with 'Imposters'. Fake human beings are everywhere, and they are causing havoc and mayhem. They say silly things like 'Is it tea time yet?' and 'Can you order me a taxi? I always need a taxi. Get me a taxi.' They are obsessive about tea time and taxis and getting to dinner on time. They hang around diners and cafes and sing silly nursery rhyme songs and bother people for a penny if you please. They are very distracting. Dark Charlatan has set up these 'Shadow Creatures' to do his bidding, and 'Steal the Pennies' of Keystone City through guilt and manipulation to build his Numismatic Collection. He is after rare American Pennies, and is devoted to getting 'What he Wants'. When the cops try and arest the 'Charlatans' they say, 'Pity about the weather' and dissolve into dust. Wally West & Impulse naively give up some of their pennies to soon witness the shenanigans of the Dark Charlatans. Running around Keystone City they make up a basic grid and through triangulation and flash logic soon trace the source of Dark Charlatan to the Museum of Keystone. Down in the basement they find him, a disgruntled museum worker, who has a huge stash of pennies in coin books, and fawns over them each night, as he sleeps in the museum with nowhere else to go, unknown to his employees. The Charlatan attempts to use his powers on Impulse to turn him to a Shadow Creature, and Bart gets thrust into the 'Shadow Realm'.

Wally drags him out and they spin their way out of the Shadow Realm ending up in front of the Museum. Speeding up, they catch Dark Charlatan unaware, and in a cyclone they spin him dry till he is left hoisted up onto the streets of Keystone City, where the police arrest him and take the delinquent to the doghouse. Impulse first adventure didn't quite go as planned, but he's ok now.


FLASH 2022 DC NOAH - GOLDFACE REARS HIS UGLY HEAD

There is a sobbery planned and Flash and Impulse hear word of it on the Grapevine. Impulse has been sent to school, but does his superhero work with Flash on the weekend. Impulse is investigating the trail left by Pennymaster and Dark Charlatan, finding clues in a warehouse they both used which is now mostly empty, with a filing cabinet left behind with a few scattered notes at the bottom. Impulse finds a note with 'Report to U242' on it – he doesn't know what it means. Pennymaster and Dark Charlatan are broken out of prison by men wearing gold coloured uniforms and 'U242' emblazoned on them. With further digging into the leads, Impulse and Flash work out that the Robbery is apparently going down at 'Broker's Bank' on the south of the City. Flash and Impulse are at Brokers but all is quiet. A police car whizzes by. 'They've duped us' says Flash. Impulse runs along side the police car. 'Where are you going?' The cop gives him a puzzled look and says 'Keystone City Mint'. Impulse and Flash take off. They arrive at the mint, which has just been robbed. A dazed guard says 'They went that way', pointing. Impulse and Flash give chase. They find the robbery truck down the road somewhat, and Pennymaster and Dark Charlatan get out. 'We've stolen billions in Gold Coins? And there is nothing you can do to stop us.' 'Thieves. There is no future in crime,' replies Impulse. 'I beg to differ,' says a voice, and 'Goldface,' shows up. 'I thought you were an honest boss for Union 242 these days,' says Flash. 'Of course, that's what the U242 means,' says Impulse. Flash gives him a puzzled look. The villains proceed to battle Impulse and the Flash with their various powers and trickeries, but they are spun into a frenzy ultimately and the heroes prevail, sending them back to prison.

*There are 4 Pantheons involved in War of the God's 2. The Greek Pantheon. The Hindu Pantheon. The Asatru Pantheon. The Canaanite Pantheon.

*The Presence has summoned an 'Assembly of the God's'. The Presence wants the 'God's' to know they are on notice and he expects better 'Performance' from the deities in their duties. Many of the God's brood this over and say 'Who does he think he is?' They have grown very accustomed to running their own show. The Presence, noting their defiance, decides to employ his son Lucifer Morningstar to 'Kick Some Head'.

*Niles Caulder & Buggles Action with Blue & Gold and Arani (Celsius) in the Himalayas, confronting Kalki. (Doom Patrol 2022 Part 2)

*Kalki is Manipulating Light to build his Army in the name of Shiva and Krishna. He has his followers in a trance and their collective willpower and 'Faith' is strengthening the creatures of light and fire.

*”New Superman” Action in the Himalayas as he has learned of the new superhero 'The Golden Child' and has come to help him out, meeting up with Karma and Lodestone from the Doom Patrol who are on the same mission. A buddhist priest watches over the Golden Child who is a repositry of wisdom of the 'East', with a multifaith spiritual identity within his being.

*Karma & Lodestone Action involving lessons of Karma from the Buddhist Priest. Niles has sent them to protect 'The Golden Child' who is a crucible of the energy of Hindu deities.

*The Golden Child has the Energy of the Hindu Pantheon running through him and in this war of the gods his goal is protect the citizens of his nation from the conflicts of the War of the God's. It is a balancing act which is going on in his soul, as some of the God are eager to 'Rip it Up' in the war with the other Pantheons, yet the majority of the Gods wish peace to be preserved and a harmonious way of life for their world, and the Golden Child must learn lessons of calmness in dealing with the tensions in his soul.

*The Greek Gods are Competing with the Gods of Hindustan for Authority in the World.

*Hera is in a garden of the gods paying attention to some peacocks she is feeding, and says to her husband Zeus 'Maybe we should listen to the Presence. It could be time to act in a more orderly fashion.' Zeus replies 'I'll be damned if I listen to that old Canaanite nitwit. Nay the Gods are going to war. Shiva has bothered me for the last time. They have another thing coming if they think they will slowly rule this world. A frail excuse for a Pantheon the Hindu schmozzle, with a million lesser deities with the most pointless of duties. Nay, Olympus shall be supreme, wife of mine. Olympus shall be supreme. And I have in mind the one Joker to teach them all a lesson.' Zeus rubs his hand with glee as Hera has a concerned look on her face.

In the oceans around southern India Poseidon is shaking his head under the waters. 'Well, if this is what the old fool wants, this is what he gets,' and starts to unleash a typhoon on the southern coastline of India.

*Niles, Arani, Blue & Gold are watching the news about the devastation of southern India. The greatest catastrophe on the nation in living memory. 'I think,' says Niles, 'That this was no accident.' 'What do you mean?' asks Arani. 'I sense Powers are at work. Great powers which rules this world.' 'What sort of powers?' asks Booster Gold. 'Not minor lords of order and chaos this time, it would seem. No, the Gods themselves are taking action. We could be on the brink of another War of the Gods, and the Pandemonium which could ensue, not good my friend Booster. Not good.'

*Odin is sitting on his throne. Loki is down below him, playing with a Rubik's Cube. 'I can never solve these blasted things,' says Loki, tossing away the cube. 'Patience, brother,' says Thor entering the room. 'Oh, look who it is? The God of drizzle and sleet.' 'Funny,' replies Thor, bowing the knee to Odin. 'Tora Olaffsdotter,' says Thor. 'Our beloved Ice Goddess. She has concerns.' 'I am aware of her concerns,' replied Odin. 'I am afraid there is little I plan on doing on alleviating them.' 'And how is that so?' replies Thor. 'The Supreme Being of the Canaanite Pantheon has ruled long enough. Mankind believes him God himself. The creator of all life from the loins of his Adam and Eve project.' 'I do recall,' replies Thor. 'You are quite hesistant on such details further back in time.' Odin glared at his son. 'I assure you, Elohim has little to do with the origin of all that is.' 'So you say,' replied Loki. 'But I think,' he says, standing to his feet, 'That I have seen devotion this God, especially in the man from Nazareth, unequalled to our bravest attempts at glory. More is going on than you say say father.' 'Bah,' replied Odin. The House of El has a lesson coming to them. And I think their favourite son from Krypton can learn that lesson. Quiet enamoured with Kal El is the old fart.' 'Superman?' said Loki. 'You intend to war with Superman? He has great energy at his disposal. And I don't expect that blasted Amazonian to sit back and not come to his aid.' 'Then we shill give them some trouble,' said Odin. 'Trouble?' replies Thor. 'Trouble,' says Odin, standing to his feet. 'Trouble the likes of which a War of the God's will show the true powers which rule this world.' 'So you say,' replied Loki.' 'Bah,' replied Odin, and stormed off. 'Father is in a mood,' said Loki. 'And I am afraid we will all suffer his wrath,' replied Thor.

*The Presence notifies Lucifer he has work kicking head and reminding them all that Yahweh rules

*At the end the Gods are Assembled again and Lucifer has a Cain and is whacking the Cain on his hand repeatedly, and the Gods are saying 'We'll be Good' after Lucifer has been kicking head.

She ends up pregnant, and gives birth to twins. Life goes on.



JLI Movie Dialogue


PLOT FOR THE MOVIE IDEAS

Divided into 3 sections of 80 minutes each. The first section is based on soundtrack songs a bit. We introduce, in no particular order at this stage, Fire & Ice. Fire is obviously going to be a model from Brazil. Her tune is 'Dangerous' by Roxette. She is doing work most likely in New York City as a model, and as the tune plays in the movie you see shots of Beatriz on magazine covers, photo shoots and probably some TV work and Catwalk work. Firstly she was introduced as a bit of a hero from the Global Guardians, who had likely finished up work with the Dome being closed down because of budgeting concerns, and she became an out of work superhero like Tora. She comes to New York and takes up the modelling work and starts to have success. Then we go into the 'The Look' tune by Roxette also for Ice Maiden. Ice has faced probably the same exact situation, and tagging in with Fire's idea tries modelling work, with the same sorts of things going on. Then we have them together at a cafe in Manhattan, talking about the success that has replaced the old hero work. Ice probably says 'I do miss being a hero, though.' Fire might say, you take the breaks you make, sister. And then Maxwell Lord sits down at their table and places his business card in front of them and says 'Are you looking for a new career, Global Guardians?' and Fire and Ice look at each other, wondering who this guy is. Booster is shown with a brief origin in the 25th century, and then some snaphsots of his success in forming Booster Gold International. Ted Kord is then shown having success building Kord Industries, and the inspiration from Daniel Garrett which makes him become Blue Beetle. Then they meet up a the New York City Mile High club, start cracking jokes, and Maxwell Lord sits down and places his business card in front of them. They look at each other the same way Fire & Ice look at each other. The song for the duo is average ordinary guys by Joe Walsh. Black Canary is then shown with TV reports on the famous Justice League member doing hero work, but then with the Justice League in current retirement, she is scratching around for things to do, and is at a shopping mall, when Maxwell Lord interrupts her, and gives her his card. She looks at it quizzically. Guy Gardner is shown with TV reports of him and Hal Jordan, but he is always the second string. We see scenes of him complaining about being second string to buddies, and says, 'Now if I was the main Green Lantern, I'd show the world how it was done. And probably at a Gym or sporting event Max introduces himself and gives him his card. Martian Manhunter is shown and is sombre over the retirement of the Detroit League, thinking about how he might do it better next time, possibly in an office as the detective manhunter john jonzz. Max introduces himself, and MM gives him a puzzled look. Finally, Batman is fighting crime, probably a scene have Killer Croc put into jail, and sits down on the side of a Gargoyle, looking at the city with Robin. Robin says 'Just you and me now Batman. No more Justice League.' Maxwell Lord is shown coming along the edge of the skyscraper. 'You're a difficult man to reach, Batman. My card.' Batman takes it, puts it in his utility belt and says 'I'll look into it'. And flies off with Robin. That's mainly the cast for the show, with Rocket Red introduced later on in section 3 when the world needs to come together to defeat the powers which control the satellite laser, and Russia provides Rocket Red to help them. His tune is Mother Russia.


Section two is mainly about Blue & Gold shenanigans with Black Canary a bit and hanging around the new embassy as well as the romance between Ice and Guy Gardner. Section 2 starts with the song 'Dressed for Success' by Roxette, showing the New JL being introduced around with TV spots and photo shoots. At a meet and greet on the Streets, a man walks up and yells 'The Uprising will Defeat all you heroes.' 'What is the Uprising?' asks Blue Beetle. 'The New Way,' says the man. He grins madly and says 'You're all doomed,' and wanders off. 'Crazy old fool,' says Fire, but Blue Beetle just stares after him. Max has had the JL Meet & Greet everyone but soon his focus is on Manga Kahn from whom he obtained L-Ron. Max purchases an Island in the Hudson River, and using technology bought from Manga Kahn has the JL HQ built. Max introduces the JL to the HQ and shows them around. They come into the main meeting room. Max chats about it and says 'This is the seat for Team Leader.' 'Thank You Maxwell,' says Batman, and sits down in the Team Leader's chair. 'Humph. The Bat,' says Guy Gardner. 'Who else?' replies Black Canary, pointing her hands upwards. 'Live with it Guy,' and she sits down. The rest of the JL follow suit, and Guy, finally, reluctantly sits down also. Batman gives a speech about the old league, and says he is dubious about this new incarnation, but will learn to live with it. Blue & Gold are Super Buddies. They crack Batman Jokes about 'Dark Knights' and 'Grim Gotham' and that Batman must be depressed or had a bad childhood to be so dark and grim. The conversation is around Batman a fair bit at times, and they chat about it and Black Canary sits with them in the embassy lounge, listening one day, and explains that Batman obviously has a real life and that his parents were killed by a criminal which made him vow vengeance on the criminals of Gotham, which explains his dark and grim personality. Blue Beetle says 'Oh. I understand.' Booster Gold says 'Tough Break.'

Fire & Ice Chat in Section 2

'I think Green Lantern likes you Torah,' said Fire.

'Do you think so. He is so handsome. So – ruggardly. So manly. I mean, he's no Aquaman, but he is very much to my liking.'

'We are talking about the same Guy aren't we,' replied Fire.

'I especially like the fighter planes he pilots. Such a man. Doing his best for his country. A real hero Hal Jordan.'

'Guy Gardner,' said Fire. 'Guy Gardner likes you.'

Tora looked at Fire.

'Yes, I know. Hal Jordan is probably taken too. All the best ones are.'

'Guy Gardner. Bowl Cut Billy. Mr Macho Americana.'

'You're being silly now,' said Ice. 'Guy Gardner could not possibly like me.'

'He's been talking about you to Blue and Gold all week. Says you melt his polar caps. Thought that was my job.'

'Guy Gardner? Really,' said Ice. Ice looked in the mirror and picked up a brush and started brushing her hair. 'I am not sure if he is my type, Beatriz.'

'Not sure if he's anyones type,' replied Fire.

'No, you must be mistaken. He's too – too.'

'Too much of an asshole for you, Torah. I get the point already.'

'No, it's not that. Guy Gardner? He likes me?'

'Fallen head over heels,' replied Fire.

'Oh,' replied Tora. She continued brushing her hair. 'The other Green Lantern,' she said to her reflection. 'An alternative I suppose.'

Section two culminates with the Royal flush gang encounter (from Justice League 4) and the team starting to look united. The Royal Flush Gang are invading the HQ and penetrate its defenses, and defeat the league but Booster and Blue Beetle use electrical cables to zap the 'Ace giant' of the Royal Flush Gang, and defeat them. The JLI are gathered in the main meeting room of the HQ and Batman gives a speech about how they've had some successes and are proving popular, even Guy Gardner, but the testing will come soon enough. 'I've been doing investigations into this Uprising. They are run by a mysterious persona only known as Mr X. I can not trace him anywhere, but his fingerprints are in everything the Uprising is doing. The motivation seems to be to unsettle world powers and start a new way. They are more than a cult. They are a dangerous idea, a faction, dedicated to overthrowing the old way and bringing in a new world order,' says Batman. 'All with this Mr X running the show behind the scenes, I take it,' says Booster Gold. 'So it would seem,' replies Batman. 'Whoever he or she is for that matter, they'll play their hand soon enough. And we'll be waiting.' The Royal Flush Gang are on a Submarine coming under the river up to JLI HQ Island. Using an Electrical Dampener device, they dampen the electricity at the back entrance to the HQ so the video cameras do not see them. L-Ron is monitoring the surveillance cameras in the control room and notices some screens going blank. 'That's unusual' he says, and goes off to investigate. The RFG disembark the sub on a hover-tank and come onto the island up to the back entrance. It is controlled by a terminal to open it. 'Damn,' says the King. 'The device hasn't knocked the gate controls out.' Queen looks at the terminal. 'Alien technology. From that blasted Manga Kahn.' She pushes some buttons. The Electrovamps come up on the screen and ask for the password. 'Password' by Electrovamp starts playing in the soundtrack. Queen tries some things but the alarm goes off. L-Ron shows up at the gate and sees the RFG. 'Oh, bother,' he says. He contacts the JLI members. 'Brute Force,' says King to ACE, and knocks down the gate with his muscle. They come up on the island and the JLI show up. 'Toss the Feathers' by the Corrs is the soundtrack for the fight. Blue and Booster get cables plugged in at the end, and the electrical defense net starts working again, zapping Ace, as the rest of the RFG is defeated. Batman's grim, then, turns to a smile, and he says 'Keep that up and you'll earn your cape back one day.' 'Appreciated, Batman,' replies Booster Gold. The Queen, seeing that Ace is defeated, moves in with her hover-tank and gathers the Ace, King, Jack & Ten. She speaks on the speakers of the Royal Flush Hovertank and says 'The Uprising will Defeat You. You're all Doomed.' Then she turns the Hover-Tank and gets away. Batman starts picking up the pieces of the group, and Blue Beetle, looking after the departed Hover-tank says 'The Uprising again.' Booster Gold says 'I know.'



Section 3 of the movie starts with Batman having gathered them to JL HQ to discuss the problem of the laser satellite and the villains associated with it, and the movie culminates with the scene from JLI7.

Gathered in the HQ Guy Gardner says 'Noticed that Captain Whitebread and Doctor Gaslamp have moved on. The Wannabes couldn't hack the pace.' Batman replies 'Superhero work is demanding Gardner. We often have other 'Attachments'. Guy says 'If you claim to be a Superhero and you aint in the main game why the heck even bother.' Batman turns to the screen and says under his breath 'With heroes like you in the Justice League I wonder why I'm bothering.' Guy says 'I heard that.' Black Canary says 'I heard that too Batman.' Batman turns and glares at Guy and Black Canary. 'Did anyone else here that?' asks Batman. 'Not me,' says Blue Beetle. 'I was busy watching Fire,' says Booster Gold. 'I was busy watching Booster Gold,' says Fire. Batman looks at Ice. She says 'I like your suit.' Batman grimaces. 'Then it never happened,' and returns his focus to the screen. Guy says, under his breath, 'Pussy.' Batman turns and comes up to Guy. 'Stand up Gardner.' Guy has his feet on the table, but stands up. They glare at each other eye to eye. 'I'm sensing a disciplinary problem in you Gardner. The Green Lantern Corps obviously hasn't sorted you out yet.' 'The Corps are pussies too,' says Gardner. 'And you call yourself an American,' says Batman. 'That's it. I strike!' yells Guy, and lashes out with his fist, but Batman punches him in the face and knocks him out. Blue Beetle says 'One Punch. Bwah ha ha ha.' Black Canary, who was pouring herself a coffee from the sink, turns and looks and says 'What happened? Why is Guy on the ground.' Blue Beetle says 'One Punch. Batman knocked him out with one punch.' 'Gardner. Knocked out. By Batman. And I missed it? God, I'm depressed,' says Black Canary, and sits down and sips on her coffee.


The Royal Flush Gang are in cahoots with 'The Uprising' which are Extremists trying to take over the world. The Uprising pay well, and the Royal Flush Gang return and fight the League, but pull back from the Embassy when a Laser Blast from space zaps them. 'It will be fully operational soon,' says the King. 'And then your world is doomed Justice League.' The Royal Flush Gang escape and the JL decide to head into space to destroy the laser system, and board the space station of the 'Uprising' and defeat them, bringing them to justice on Earth. Watching this from a nearby space station is the mysterious Mr X. 'Well, Mr X. Looks like the Justice League has foiled your plans,' says Manga Kahn, coming into view. 'No matter,' replies Mr X, sitting on a seat watching the Uprising Space Station in the distance. He turns in his seat and his face comes into view. It is Lex Luthor. 'The plan goes on regardless. Lexcorp is usually busy enough with Superman, but I am sure I can have some fun with this new Justice League. The Batman is always a laugh riot after all.' And he laughs a Lexlike laugh. Maxwell Lord plasters the success of the JL all over the News, and the League become the 'Justice League International' with Rocket Red from Russia having joined them to go into space. The final scene has them gathered with a big UN flag behind them in New York at the United Nations, all standing looking proud.








The New Titans: Dragon's Blood

Brother Blood wants to grow his cult.

He offers Deathstroke great power if he slays 'The Dragon of the North' in the uppermost regions of Siberia. Deathstroke does so and returns with the Dragon's Blood to Brother Blood. Brother Blood uses incantations with a portion of the Blood and gives Deathstroke extra strength, skill, cunning and agility. Deathstroke seduces 'Terra' to join him and 'Live the Life'. She is tempted and falls into Deathstroke's new deadlier and more perverse games. The New Titans see it as their job to redeem Terra from the Clutches of Deathstroke. But while this is planned, Brother Blood has intoxicated himself and many of his followers with the Dragon's Blood and they are converting citizens en masse to his cult. Azrael the Angel has been watching over the machinations of Brother Blood and is very concerned, and contacts the New Titans to alert them to the once again growing power of Brother Blood. The usual suspects in Brother Blood stories are involved. Deathstroke persuades Terra to take into herself the Dragon's Blood and in the climax the New Titans fight Brother Blood, his servants, Deathstroke and Terra. Terra is wounded badly, but Raven performs incantations and calms down the Dragon's Blood in her soul. She tells the team later 'Terra will always be affected. It just lies dormant in her. But it will rise again one day.'


Harry Hokum: The Perfect Mate

1

Harry Hokum looked at the LA Dating Agency lady with a frown.

'I can give you my card,' he said.

'Sure,' replied the fat black lady.

Harry handed over his Details Card

Name: Harry Hokum

Occupation: Leader of the Citadel Empire on the Citadel Homeworld

Race: Human (American) from Earth

Objective: Grow the Power of the Citadel

Enemies: Omega Men & Supergirl

Known Employees: Lobo & Bedlam

Tactical Strategy: Bastardry

The lady raised her eyebrow, but then, wishing to keep her client engaged, wisely closed it.

'And what are you looking for in a partner, dare I ask it?'

'Cooks. Cleans. Things like that,' replied Harry. 'Oh, I like blondes now. Met Supergirl recently. She was quite the turn on.'

The lady typed out 'Likes Kryptonian Beauties, Supergirl in Particular' on to her screen.

'Anything else?' asked the lady.

'If she likes a cold blooded bastard responsible for personally overseeing the execution of thousands traitorous scumbags, she'll do me just fine.

'Not fussy,' typed out the lady. 'Ok. Let me see what I can do. Come back next week.'

Harry spent the week in his hotel, watching TV and ordering room service. The shows hadn't improved much, but what you going to do, huh? He soon enough presented himself back at the dating agency.

'I have the perfect woman,' said the lady. 'Calls herself 'Power Girl'. Former superhero in Justice League International and such associated bodies. Currently looking for a 'Real Man'.

'She sounds fab,' said Harry.

'I'll forward on your details,' said the lady. 'We'll arrange a date.

'Wonderful,' said Harry. 'Looking forward to it already.

2

'He's pretty disastrous,' said Supergirl.

'Love's a disaster,' replied Power Girl to her cousin. 'I don't know. He's kind of cute. And he dresses damn well. Probably rich. Rules the citadel, must be.'

'Not exactly the most heroic of personalities,' said Supergirl.

'Tried a few of them. They are always off to save the world. No time for the woman in their life. Always away. I'll give him a go.'

'You'll probably regret it,' said Supergirl. 'Just got this feeling about Harry Hokum that he's too much for even Power Girl to handle.'

'We'll see,' replied Power Girl.

The date was arranged and Harry showed up with his servants. Men dressed in uniform with rather nasty looking weapons acquired at the local Gun Store once back in town.

'Are they necessary?' asked Power Girl.

'Hey, I have enemies, dear,' replied Harry. 'You can never be too careful. Now, what would you like to eat? Anything on the menu.'

Power Girl surveyed the menu. 'Oh, this looks good. Fried bacon with cottage fries and snow peas, and a nice mustard sauce.

'I'll skip,' replied Harry. 'But you order that by all means.'

'What gives?' asked Power Girl.

'Bacon makes me queasy.'

'I love bacon,' said Power Girl open mouthed.

'I'll have the vegetable soup. Need to watch my figure,' said Harry.

The date went on, and Harry kissed her hand at the end, and asked for another date. Power Girl decided to agree.

'How was he?' asked Supergirl.

'Actually, he was fine. Grusome chat about those he'd knocked off in his work, but he tried to justify it all. But he was well spoken, and he smelled good. Proper deoderant. I'll date him again.'

'Still saying you'll regret it,' said Supergirl.

'We'll see,' said Power Girl.

3

The next date came. Harry had his guards again, and was looking proud.

'My date,' he said.

'Your honour,' replied Power Girl. She sat. She was dressed fine this time.

'What are your ambitions for the Citadel?' she asked.

'Grow its power,' said Harry. 'The Citadel is an important Vegan Empire, and we're intending to grow well into the galaxy. Crush those not fit enough to rule themselves.'

'Standard dictator then,' replied Power Girl.

'We're a strong empire, but people are free enough,' replied Harry. 'Ruling the scum of the universe is challenging work. You do a lot of dirty work.'

'My cousin often opposes people like you,' said Power Girl.

'I know,' replied Harry. 'Par for the course.'

'I don't know if I really should date you, Harry Hokum. I think I could regret it. But I've been around a while, and I've seen them come and go. And not many were made of that much

in the end. If I bother you, promise me you won't cheat, more than anything else.'

'My dear. I wouldn't dream of it,' replied Harry. 'Old fashioned on such issues.'

Power Girl sat with Supergirl later that evening. 'We've agreed to date for now. He knows I have work on Earth, and it's his homeworld. He likes me. I – I like him.'

'Oh,' said Supergirl.

'Don't know if it really will lead anywhere. He might be a bit too authoritative for me in the end. But I understand him. He explained himself well enough.'

'We all need someone in the end,' agreed Supergirl.


Harry and Power Girl dated for several months, but he said he had to get back to the Citadel, and for now their friendship was all that it was. But he found Power Girl to his

liking, and she felt similarly. And so that is how it ended, for the time being, and only the future could tell were it would go from there.


The End


Harry Hokum & The Citadel

Harry takes Power Girl to a Mansion atop a valley overlooking the ocean on the Citadel Homeworld. They are together for a while. A faction of opposing forces attack the mansion, having planned it for several years, and defeat Harry's guards, but Power Girl intervenes and defeats them. Harry thanks her. Power Girl comments that she should probably expect things like this to happen with the ruler of the Citadel. Par for the course, replies Harry. The faction, though, which is attempting to overthrow the power of the Citadel, is the major focuse for 'Harry Hokum and the Citadel' series. In this series Power Girl marries Harry Hokum and they have twins, boys, Daniel and David. Daniel and David have Kryptonian blood and as they get older they have strengths like Jonathon Kent. But they are proud defenders of the Citadel. Power Girl admires Harry for his Power, and after a while realizes that she has married an Emperor who some times does harsh things to maintain his power in the star system. Plots involve the 'Vegan Liberation Movement' and its attempt to make the Vegan Star System free for all, opposing tyranny and authoritarianism. Power Girl is constantly at odds with her love for Harry, and the reality that the Freedom Fighters really do emulate much of what she holds dear as a Super Hero. But she chooses loyalty to her family in the end as the Queen of the Citadel. This gradually brings her into conflict with Supergirl who continues her heroic duties in the galaxy, and they end up fighting it out on the royal throne of the Citadel in 'Battle of the Kryptonians', to which neither side is really victorious, Supergirl judging Power Girl and her loyalty to the Citadel before flying away. That evening Power Girl is watching Harry sleep and says 'Don't judge me Kara. I must do what I must do.' Life in the Citadel involves royal duties, but the main recurring threat is the VLM who Harry is always concerned about. They make a daring deed and employ Lobo to kidnap Daniel and David when they are young and not completely powerful yet and Lobo comes to odds with his former employer, Harry. Power Girl rescues her children, but Lobo scratches a scar on both their foreheads and says 'This isn't over Krypton Girl.' As they age David and Daniel bear a grudge against Lobo, which leads to conflicts later on in the series. At one point in the series Harry is about to execute some young idealists who oppose the Citadel in their poetry, but Power Girl intercedes and asks Harry to spare their lives. Power Girl takes them to Earth, to Supergirl, who is a bit hostile, but Supergirl agrees to find them homes on Earth, and foster their talents. The series culminates with the war between the VLM and the Citadel, which is costly on both sides, with ultimately no real victor, but Daniel loses his right hand in the conflict, and David is killed in battle. Power Girl realizes she has paid a high price for marrying Harry Hokum, and looks back and remembers Supergirl's words that she would regret it if she got involved with him. The series ends with Harry and Power Girl still on the throne of the Citadel, in their 50s or so, and Power Girl has, at great cost, become a Power Woman and a Queen of the Galaxy.


God's and Monsters

God's and Monsters is a latter era in the DC Noah Universe. When Power Girl has come into stronger authority as Queen of the Citadel, throughout the DC Universe, particularly on Earth, home to many powerful beings, the beings have become 'Godlike' in the sight of mere mortals and the villains have become 'Monsters'. It is a struggle at this time between the 'God's' and 'Monster's', a heightened time of tension in the DC Universe as the early firstfruits of Super-powered beings come into their strength in society and positions of power, authority and rulership – being opposed by the Monsters, their Arch-Enemies, which have grown all the more evil over time.


Lucifer Reborn

Part 8

'Life's a drag,' said Elaine Belloc, sitting on the throne of the Almighty.

'Then we jazz it up a bit,' said Lucifer, standing behind her on one shoulder.

'Unwise,' said her father Michael, standing behind her on the other shoulder.

'Oh, come on. And didn't you die? Why have you returned? You should not have returned. You should remain dead. In Sheol or something like that. Shoo pesky archangel. Shoo.'

'Leave him be,' said Elaine to Lucifer. 'I need a father figure.'

'God knows my old man is a pain in the neck,' said Lucifer.

'That's almost funny,' said Elaine.

'He sits around these days, drinking tea, and trying to teach me how to run my own creation. Rules he says. Life operates on rules. I hadn't noticed people paying that much attention. Especially in recent times. But he assures me they run on rules.'

'Biology,' said Michael. 'Explains it. We function on our biological spiritual makeup. We are hotwired to function a particular way. We can't really escape what we are. A body of thought which challenges this, doesn't deny our nature. Nurture can run a million miles, but nature says its time to quit when it's had enough.'

'Really,' said Lucifer, looking at Michael. 'Doesn't surprise me you think like father. All you angels think alike. Terribly predictable.'

'And devil's know the crux of the matter, is it?' queried Elaine.

'I dare say, young Elaine, we know that much little bit more than people are prepared to admit, quite frankly. They're just to afraid to. Sad but true really.'

'Maybe you should be sitting on this throne Samael,' replied Elaine.

'No. Tempting. But feminism is currently the thing for most of them down below. If God were a woman and all that. Your job my dear. Frankly I don't give a damn.'

'It's challenging. My mind is contemplating billions of souls on Earth, let alone the denizens of heaven and hell. I see them all. I can focus on whoever I wish. It's frightening, you know. So much struggle. So much pain. So much fear.'

'All the good stuff,' replied Lucifer.

Elaine looked at Samael. 'But you would say that, wouldn't you.'

'Nature at work,' said Michael. 'He's set in stone.'

'Oh,' replied Lucifer. 'That is rich. Insight of the ages, and I'm set in stone. Thank you very much.'

'Ha. Insight. Fallen angel excuses to do your own thing and disregard fathers decrees. All because you like to tinkle it up in tinseltown, and impress your cronies. I'm the devil, you say. Lord of hell, you say. Master of Music, you say. Aren't I fine and dandy.'

'He's mocking me,' said Samael. 'He is actually mocking me.'

'At least that's something new,' said Elaine.

'I suppose,' said Lucifer, looking down his nose at Michael. 'Generally I probably prefer this new revelation of Archangel Michael. The last one was starting to get quite annoying.'

'New world, new ways,' replied Michael.

'So it seems,' replied Lucifer. He looked at Elaine. 'Come on Elaine. Make up your damn mind will you.'

Elaine looked down at the shimmering globular aura of Earth in front of them.

'They want resolution,' she said. 'Quite demanding from many of them.'

'What kind of resolution?' asked Samael cautiously.

'On the big issue. When is the Lord returning. The day of Judgement. Resurrection. Things like that.'

'Haven't we done enough of that already,' said Samael. 'Old Hat by now.'

'They want the Christ Child. To show his hand and show up. They have been getting impatient.'

'Oh, Jesus Christ,' swore Samael.

'Exactly,' replied the goddess Elaine Belloc.

The End of Part 8


Lucifer Reborn

Part 9: Conclusion

'It's just that, how can I say it. I really don't think you can garner the interest from our side to actually show up to that plain in Israel. What's it called? Megiddo or something like that? Not really interested in the job of burning eternally.'

Jesus stood next to Michael, opposing Lucifer on the other side of the throne. Gabriel was seated a little distance away.

'Come on Sammy. You've got to put on a show and all. People have expectations.'

'Pass, dear Gabriel. From all reports father has shared with me of late, he's not the messiah anyway. Just a very naughty boy.'

'That is – irrelevant,' replied Jesus. 'Not even a valid point in any of that idea. I do the job and people accept me in it. That is all that matters. Prophecy is fun and games, but nothing to take too seriously anyway. I was working on an agenda, and it paid dividends. Got people focused on eternity, which was the whole point. Brought hope to their lives, as they lived in shadows of darkness.'

Samael looked at Jesus the Christ claimant. 'Funny way of going about it all, though. You should have more respect for your elders, Nazarene. Born well into the equation from all factual data I am getting. Pre-existent Logos of God? Not really there. Just God and his own word.'

'Philo's idea,' responded Jesus of Nazareth. 'We ran with it. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, I have no intention of showing up to planet Earth anytime soon again anyway. The brotherhood and I are ensconced in several activities with the Church at the moment, and we're having our reward for our labours. I have places to go and people to cheer up Samael of Heaven. I'll get to your concerns some other time.'

'He didn't ask you here,' said Elaine.

Jesus came around and knelt in front of Elaine Belloc on the throne of God. 'Mother?' he queried. She gave him one of those looks.

'I want resolution on a difficult issue for humanity on Earth,' she replied. 'There is need for a restoration of things. A connection between Earth and the Divine to give people an assurance that everything is under control. I will need the crew to make business with mankind for a while. Say, a thousand years or so. Get that old religion up to scratch once more, and parade of all the epiphanies I can muster. You will be busy for a while. The main name of the game is that it's about eternal life in the great beyond. Heave or hell. The fate of your destiny is in the choices you make.'

'Or verily predestined by father, should we not say,' put in Samael.

'Very funny,' replied Elaine. She looked at Jesus. 'We will be busy for a while. Revelations will be given, lives will be touched, faith will be restored. You've been put on notice man from Nazareth. Now be about your duties.'

Jesus bowed to Elaine, glared at Samael, and left the throne room of heaven.

'Will that be all?' Samael asked Elaine.

'You may go,' she said.

Samael jumped down the steps to the court of the throneroom, winked at Gabriel, and departed. Some time later he found Seth and the others at Beyond.

'I got answers,' said Seth. 'But the more I looked out there, the more I wanted to go home.'

Lucifer nodded. 'I guess home is where the heart is,' he replied to his creation. He went into the library, and sat down by a fireplace. 'Now where was I' he said to himself. 'Oh, that's right.' He picked up the book. 'The Hobbit or There and Back Again' by J R R Tolkien. 'Haven't read this in ages,' he said to himself, and as the time passed over in Beyond, Lucifer, having come to the end of an adventure, settled down with Bilbo Baggins, but soon enough fell asleep in front of the roaring fireplace, none daring to wake him till morning hours had come.

The End


Crimson Fox: Deconstructo's Army Part 1

Crimson Fox sat sipping on her tea in the Justice League Europe London HQ she had recently moved into following the debacle with Deconstructo. Lionheart and Beefeater had joined Justice League Europe also, and Metamorpho and Fire & Ice were currently travelling as a trio through Europe, making their way to London to join up. They had agreed to be in the Reformed JLE for a while, but not permanently. It was up to Fox to find some more permanent members in time, and she was thinking over Knight and Squire to fill some positions.

'I'm afraid I couldn't stop him,' said Beefeater, following Mr Ruskin into the room. 'He insisted on seeing you.'

'What is it Mr Ruskin?' asked Crimson Fox.

'Bad news I'm afraid,' said the Art Critic. 'Deconstructo has escaped. Of all the foolish things to allow the prison Governor admitted Archie into an Electronics program, which he felt would be good for him. He's just gone and reinvented that wand of his from memory, and has used it to escape the prison. We have no idea where he is now. It's very upsetting. He was showing promising signs of reform, and I was enjoying his new pieces.'

'Sad to hear that,' replied Crimson Fox. She sat there, sipping on her tea, looking ahead, thinking.

'Technically, it's a job for Scotland Yard, or someone like that. Escaped prisoners. But I think we all know the difficulties Deconstructo poses. He's a rebel without a cause, though he thinks he has one. No end of trouble in recent times.'

'Thankfully nobody has been seriously injured yet,' said Mr Ruskin.

'Only seriously transmogrified,' replied Crimson Fox. 'But we fixed all that.'

'The lad is trouble,' said Mr Ruskin. 'But not evil. He must be handled with care. To get him to eventually see reason.'

'I'm not arguing with you,' said Crimson Fox, standing to her feet. 'He's likely to play his hand again soon enough. And then we'll be watching and waiting for him.'

'Silly Archie,' said Mr Ruskin.


Meanwhile, in Manchester, Deconstructo had tracked down struggling and disillusioned artists. One by one he chased them up and made them the offer. Join him, and he would deconstruct them into his Army, and they would march to London, and teach Westminster a lesson it would not forget. He changed his army into goblins and orcs and dragons and dinosaurs and fowl looking fiends of all sorts and persuasion. And when they were all assembled in the sewers of Manchester, Deconstructo spoke proud words to them of the new world they would create, and they marched out later that night, flying, running, and riding on wheels to old London Town.


Deconstructos Army Part 2

'They are marching through the land, heading for London,' said Inspector Marple, sipping on tea. 'Deconstructo's army. They plan on bringing a new order to society. The uprising of the people to overthrow the old system. He is disenchanted with fair Britannia as it is.'

'What are the authorities doing about it?' asked Crimson Fox.

'Nothing. Not at this stage. Technically, my dear, they haven't broken any laws yet. They are travelling transmogrified people voicing their concerns. They are heading for Westminster, that much is apparent, but they are travelling along the highways which is the only place such a mob can go anyway. We are after Deconstructo himself, not his followers. He is wanted to finish off the rest of his time. At this stage we are monitoring the situation.'

'I'm starting to think this is Archies natural element anyway,' said Mr Ruskin, eating a currant cake. 'He's a visionary of a Deconstructed Universe which brings a new life at times, and kills off the old structures as they become passe. Out with the old in with the new. He never stopped saying that while I was talking with him in prison.'

'Not really hellbent then,' said Lionheart. 'Just misguided.'

'I suppose, in all ethical honesty,' said Inspector Marple. 'That is our perspective. Our opinion. In the end in this life people are entitled to form their own opinion on how the world should be. We British, like you Americans, do believe in democracy. We are proud and true Monarchists, but the people can seek the vision for their lives, in true entrepreneurial spirit, which suits themselves. Britain once depowered the Monarchy a substantial amount because it was not quite what this country was all about. Certainly we like our figurehead. God save the Queen my dear. But every man's house is his castle, and we stand for those ideals as much. Archie is expressing himself. Every artist is supposed to do that.'

'Fascinating,' replied Crimson Fox. 'I do see your point. But his foolishness has gone on long enough, and he is causing public unrest. He has to be dealt with.'

'In that we do agree. And he will be soon enough. But her majesty has said let Archie voice his concerns at Westminster, as the people have something to say at this time. And we listen to the voice of the people.'

'We'll be ready when he gets here,' said Lionheart.

'Indeed we will,' replied Crimson Fox.


Marching down Britain came the Army. Deconstructo was on his dais with the wheels spinning below, motoring him along the road. All day long people had been joining, the disaffected, the disappointed, the struggling, the underclass, and many of them had agreed to weird transformations, a lot simply joining the crusade regardless. There was a feeling in the land that Archie Tipple might have a point or two to say, and so it seemed even the authorities didn't seem to mind him making his point. 'Even the Queen approves of me,' Deconstructo yelled out to his Army. 'So on we go to victory.'


Crimson Fox

Deconstructo's Army Part 3

Deconstructo led the army onwards. He had a Megaphone and was encouraging his netherly followers. 'On we go. To Victory.'


'I think it's time I went out to teach him a lesson,' said Lionheart. 'His army is getting near London now, and I want to try and talk some sense into him.'

'It could be tricky,' said Crimson Fox. 'A lot of the people want to now hear what he has to say. He's a voice of the people at the moment with what he represents. Deconstructo and his army haven't really hurt anyone, and are practicing peaceful protest so far, even though Archie will have to be taken back into custody to finish his time. I think, though, I might want to call in a higher power just to watch over the final encounter.'

'Do as you will,' said Lionheart. 'But I'm going to teach this Deconstructo a lesson.'

Crimson Fox watched Lionheart depart, then picked up her phone. She rang a number. 'Hello. Clark Kent. You can get me in contact with Superman, can't you?'


The army met Deconstructo's army on the outskirts of London with Police as well, and Inspector Marple was assigned to take Deconstructo into custody when he had spoken his mind. Lionheart worked his way through the crowd and looked up at Deconstructo. 'You sure are a rebel, aren't you Deconstructo? Bring down society and make them serve their new master, who has rewritten the rules to suit himself.'

'Rules always need to be rewritten. Life is always in freefall. It suffers eternal deconstruction whether it likes it or not.'

'But some rules are constant. And disturbing the peace is never acceptable.'

'Shoo servant of King Arthur,' replied Deconstructo. 'Your values are so passe.'

Deconstructos wheel's rolled on, and Lionheart looked at him in disbelief.


The rabble continued on entering London and as the day passed they neared the centre of the city. A force of police and army were present, ready for any trouble. Politicians were outside Westminster, and the Queen could be seen in a window, looking down at the crowd. Soon enough it was a tense situation. Archie looked around in glee, and then noticed a figure. Superman descended from the skies, and floated down near Archie.

'Big blue,' said Deconstructo nervously.

'You want to speak your mind, don't you,' said Superman.

'I'll speak my mind,' replied Deconstructo.

'By all means. We do believe in freedom of speech after all.'

Deconstructo looked nervously at Superman, and took to his Megaphone.

'People of Britain. Times change. Society moves on. And things which are old decay. They need to be torn down – deconstructed. And fresh truths replace them. Out with the old – in with the new.'

People cheered.

'These followers of mine are oppressed by a society which does not understand them. We need to update and upgrade our world. And I can show you the way.'

A police officer waved at Deconstructo who looked at him. 'What?'

The police officer pointed to the Queen. She was on speaker, and people looked up at her.

'Dear Archie Tipple. We do understand. The Monarchy changes from generation to generation, and we likewise move on as a people. The British people have always moved with the times. It is what we do. My encouragement to you is to take your passion, serve the rest of your time, and see what positive contributions you can make to British society to bring a worthwhile new vision of the new world. This is not the way.'

Deconstructo smiled. 'I will do that, Your majesty. I've already agreed. But I want a little fun first. People. Rumble.'

The police and army were not surprised when Deconstructos army started a fistfight. But they were only making scrapes and bruises, and after several arrests calmed down. Superman floated back down to Archie. He put out his hand.

'Fine,' said Deconstructo, and handed over his wand. He jumped down from his dais, approached Inspector Marple, and said 'I surrender. I'll do my time.'

'Come to your senses Archie. Good to see.'

And so Deconstructo's army finished it's protestations, and Superman, working out quickly how to use the wand, returned them to human form.

'It's a relief,' said Crimson Fox to Superman, as he came over to her. 'Deconstructo has finally learned his lesson.'

'Let us hope so. For all our sakes,' said the Last Son of Krypton.

The End


Justice League Europe

Hokum Pokum

Jonathon Hokum enjoyed being turned into a Werewolf for a while, and was travelling alongside Deconstructo, asking him questions regularly. Especially about the wand. Deconstructo mentioned he had diagrams for its design back at his London apartment, and Jonathon asked to be returned to human form, which Deconstructo did for him, and slipped away from the army, to a nearby town, taking a bus to London. He found the apartment, and found the diagrams. Several weeks later, after Deconstructo had spoken his mind and antics at Westminster, but surrendered, Jonathon had completed his work on a Wand of his own. He travelled up North, to the Orkney Isles, and found the Rocky crag he knew well. He pointed the wand, and it crumbled down, and he moved dirt and Earth, and found his way down. He dug around for a few days, and soon found it. The Staff of Gregorius. Like a snooker stick often had, it was in two parts, which needed to be screwed together. He had one half now, but needed the other. And that could be found only in one place. His brother in the Citadel Empire – Harry Hokum. He took the staff, returned the crag to its normal appearance, and headed off to London.

* * * * *

12 months later, after the debacle at Westminster, Archie Tipple was a free man again, and had returned to his industry. But he decided to risk it. Lionheart had spoken words of Justice to him, and he had an issue. He knocked on the door of the Justice League Europe HQ, and was brought to Crimson Fox.

'Done your time, haven't you, Archie?'

Deconstructo sipped on the tea offered to him. He had a new wand which he had made with him.

'Those things are more trouble than they are worth. Why are you here? Come to announce your next spree?'

'I've come to join the Justice League Europe. I have a point to prove Foxy Lady. And if it means I prove that point by being a superhero, I'm willing to do that.'

'There's training to be had,' said Crimson Fox, and looked at him. 'I'm not surprised you know. I was expecting it. Weird dreams of all sorts of things, and I felt the universe was pointing you in our direction for a reason.'

'Meant to be,' replied Deconstructo.

'Perhaps,' replied Crimson Fox. 'We'll see what you are made of. Metamorpho will handle your training. /Superhero work is demanding stuff. You need to be fit.'

'I've always eaten well,' he said. 'Watch my figure and all.'

Crimson Fox Smiled.

* * * * *

'It's a bother, and we could probably use the Justice League Europe,' said Inspector Marple.

'We'll be there shortly,' replied Crimson Fox, and hung up. She thought on her new member. Unfortunately, his prowess with the wand would probably even be needed. She gathered the team to the conference room.

'There is trouble across town. It seems that someone has gotten himself one or Deconstructo's wands, and is transforming an apartment unit into some sort of spaceport or something. We've been asked to look into it.'

'Let's go then,' said Knight and Squire.

The Heroes departed in the JLE Chopper, and soon were hovering above the apartment, now looking like a technical city of sorts. And as they watched new additions were being made. They landed their chopper, and started making their way into the technical city.

'Someone is having fun,' said Deconstructo. 'These are original looking designs. Never seen anything like it.'

As they looked at all the designs, they noticed the windows were suddenly all closed shut, and the whole structure of the city seemed to finish it's job, and was being turned into a space ship. Suddenly the whole thing lifted up from the dirt, and took off into the skies.

'We're flying,' said Deconstructo. 'Headed for Mars.'

'Or some other destination,' said Ice.

'And we still don't know who our enemy is,' said Squire.

'Which I intend on finding out shortly,' said Crimson Fox, as the ship sped through space at an incredible velocity.

* * * * *

'This place is a bloody zoo,' said Deconstructo.

'It's the people of the apartment,' said Knight. 'They've been transmogrified.'

'I can turn them back to normal,' said Deconstructo, brandishing his wand.

'Not yet,' said Crimson Fox, holding up her hand. 'I want to see what we're up against first.'

They continued through the ship, heading towards the top as it were, were they presumed the pilot would be located. Soon enough they came into the front chamber of the ship, which had a fancy looking control deck. There was a swivel seat, and it turned, a man seated on it, smiling.

'Welcome, Justice League of Europe. I am honoured to make your acquaintance.'

'I know you,' said Deconstructo. 'You were in my army.'

'The shambles that it was,' replied Jonathon Hokum. 'Anyway, I am Jonathon Hokum. Explorer, Scientist, Adventurer, Rogue in general.'

'Pleased to meet you Jonathon Hokum. Where, may I ask, are we headed?' asked Crimson Fox.

'Why, the Citadel Empire of course. To greet my dear brother Harry Hokum.'

'I've heard of him. Power Girl mentioned him,' said Crimson Fox. 'So you are his brother. But your English?'

'Mother had me in the UK, and father took me to live there when I was young. I grew up with my uncle and aunt. Liked the place more than back in the states. My cup of tea, my dear.'

'Why do you want to go to the Citadel?' asked Crimson Fox.

'So many questions,' replied Jonathon. 'Do you like my zoo? I have created so many delightful new creatures. Will have to give them a proper looking over as well.'

'Innocent people,' said Crimson Fox.

'Don't I know it,' said Deconstructo under his breath.

'Oh, I will likely return them to regular form at the end of this mission of mine,' said Jonathon. 'I have no ill will towards them. But I could hardly kick them out of the apartment on my own. Easier to Transmogrify them. Saved a lot of effort.'

'You miss your brother. Is that it?' asked Crimson Fox.

'I suppose,' replied Jonathon. 'We speak on the phone when he visits Earth. He dated Power Girl recently. Heard all about it. She's up there with him at the moment, in the Citadel Empire. Getting along well, from all reports.'

'You have an objective,' said Lionheart. 'Your after something. Something he has. A family heirloom or something like that.'

'The man is perceptive, I'll give him that much,' replied Jonathon. 'Perhaps our most noble superhero, from such a boldly claimed moniker, but he is obviously no dullard. Yes Lionheart. I am after something in the possession of my dear brother. And it has been in the family many generations. I have finally uncovered it's other half, and I need the rest of it to give power to the damn thing.'

'Which is?' asked Crimson Fox.

'Now that would be telling, wouldn't it,' said Jonathon. 'Don't worry, though. Once it is mine I will return you to earth, and restore these people to their rightful place. No harm done. So until then, sit back and enjoy the ride.

The Justice League Europe were offered then with newly created seats which Jonathon Hokum made using his wand, and as they sat and looked out at the stars in front of them, Crimson Fox had an uneasy feeling that this adventure would not go quite as smoothly as Jonathon Hokum seemed to think it would.

* * * * *

'We wrestle, and I'll hand it over,' said Harry. 'But only in the stadium. There's a big show planned tonight. Blacksoul has brought Superman here first of all on his trip with him to Warworld. Gonna make a man out of him. Or is it Superboy. The kid. Two Superman's? Weird. Not the world I understood.'

'Why have you kidnapped Blue Beetle?' asked Crimson Fox to Harry Hokum.

'He was making trouble with Steel and the Cyborg Superman. Flew them all the way here to watch tonight's show, but they were caught snooping around the lockup were Blacksoul has Superman imprisoned. We arrested them in the name of the Citadel. Ironically the came quietly. Oh, Despero is in town also. We've pitted him against one of our own. Should be a top Wrestlemania.'

'Wrestlemania?' asked Crimson Fox.

'Imported from Earth,' replied Harry. 'The Citadel Empire loves it. Now take them away. Bring them along tonight. They shall be my guests.'

The Justice League Europe were taken to holding cells, and shoved inside. Crimson Fox looked across the corridor. Deconstructo had been shoved in with Despero and Blue Beetle.

'We meet again Ted Kord,' said Crimson Fox.

'Wish it could be more hospitable than this, but you know,' said Ted. 'What you going to do, huh? Complain.'

'Will there be bloodshed?' she asked Blue Beetle.

'Your guess is as good as mine. Don't know what Citadel Wrestling is all about. But we'll find out soon enough.'

The day passed, and soon they were escorted up to the Royal Box in the Arena. Hush came over as Harry Hokum appeared.

'Citadel Community, tonight we have a fabulous show. Blacksoul of Apokolips has brought the Son of Superman with him to teach him a lesson or two about who runs the show. That should be top entertainment.' The crowd cheered. 'And we have one of the galaxies toughest dudes in Despero, who will be taking on our current champion, Paramax. And to cap of the night, I'll wrestle my own dear brother, Jonathon, visiting from Earth, to let of some family steam.' Again the cheers.

'Enjoy the show,' said Harry Hokum, to Crimson Fox seated next to him.

'I'm really sorry about this Fox,' said Power Girl. 'But Harry loves this stuff. I couldn't persuade him otherwise, I'm afraid.'

Shortly Superman Jonathon Kent was brought into the arena, and Blacksoul, the bastard son of Darkseid, entered in. Steel & Cyborg Superman were brought in in chains, and given seats to watch the show. Soon enough the wrestling began. Jonathon got the idea well enough, and made smooth enough moves, but Blacksoul was strong, and well trained, Eventually he had him pinned and yelled 'Yield' to which the crowd cheered. Jonathon yielded, and Blacksoul kicked in in arse and said 'Sad Kryptonian'. Jonathon was then put in chains again, and dragged off. Despero was second on the agenda, and held his own against Paramax for a while, but was eventually defeated. And finally Harry came down, and Jonathon Hokum his brother faced him.

'You were never tough enough for this,' said Harry.

'Bring it big brother,' said Jonathon.

And they wrestled, and swore, and hit, and scratched, and eventually they stood facing each other. Harry looked up at the crowd. 'He fought well. That will do I suppose.' Harry indicated Jonathon to follow him up the Royal seat and, as milder entertainment got under way, he turned to his brother. 'You can have the staff. I have no real need for it anyway. But beware. We both know it's a millennial stone. It will be very powerful. I could potentially want that power one day. So I'll lend it to you for now if you agree to lend it back in time. Give me your word, and I will agree.'

'Fine,' said Jonathon. 'No problem.'

The deal was done, and the following morning Jonathon with the Justice League Europe were at their ship.

'What will happen to Superman?' asked Crimson Fox.

'Blacksoul is taking him on to Warworld, to face his real fight. Steel and Cyborg Superman were released, and told to not make any more trouble for the Citadel.'

Crimson Fox looked up at the city. 'An interesting person this Harry Hokum. Power Girl will have to be careful about him.'

The ship took off, and made its way back to Earth. Jonathon restored the creatures to their human form along the way, and it was landed were it came from, turned by Jonathon back to the regular apartment.

'We should have you arrested,' said Crimson Fox.

'They will probably want my hide, I agree,' said Jonathon. He held the staff in his hand. 'But soon enough it will no longer be an issue.'

Crimson Fox could only imagine what that threat might lead to.

The End


Justice League Europe

New Members

'Israel barely qualifies as part of Europe, Netta,' said Crimson Fox.

'We've won Eurovision more than once,' replied Netta Barzillai, the Eurovision winner from recent times.

'What are your superpowers?' queried Crimson Fox.

'I can sing,' she replied.

'A hero needs more than singing,' said Crimson Fox.

'I mean I can sing. Like Black Canary. I have a sonic voice. It's come on in recent times.'

'Demonstrate,' said Crimson Fox.

Netta Barzillai let out of sonic scream, quite similar to Black Canary's.

'Ok, ok. I get the point,' said Crimson Fox. 'What is your superhero name?'

'Rhinoscream,' said Netta. 'I'm no Canary, and with my hefty figure I like to be a Rhino. I'm Rhinoscream.'

'I saw that video. Bassa Sababa,' said Crimson Fox. 'Very up to date. Ok. Report for training to Lionheart. He handles new recruits. You should fit in just fine.'

'Aye aye, Madame,' saluted Rhinoscream, and wandered off to find Lionheart.

Crimson Fox wandered into the kitchen and found Deconstructo and Beefeater arguing over slime coming through ventillation in the ceiling.

'Ectoplasm, I'm sure of it,' said Deconstructo.

'It's not ectoplasm. Don't know what it is, but it's not ectoplasm,' said Beefeater. 'I get different vibes from it.'

Crimson Fox watched as the slime slipped down and landed on the floor. Shortly it manifested into a human figure.

'Lord Slime,' said Crimson Fox.

'Can I get a cup of tea?' queried Lord Slime. 'Traditionally I hang around Justice League Headquarters, and get chocolate biscuits and beverage. It's kind of like the thing I do. I like the Justice League International spirit. It gets me going in life.'

'Very well,' replied Crimson Fox.

Shortly they were in the dining room, and Rhinoscream was listening carefully to Lionheart's instructions on how heroes went about their business. Deconstructo and Beefeater were playing a game of Bridge, and Lord Slime, predominantly a member of the Justice League Antarctica, was sipping on tea and eating some chocolate biscuits with Crimson Fox. Knight and Squire were away at the moment and Metamorpho and Fire and Ice were upstairs, sorting out their quarters.

'I could use a holiday from the Ice,' said Lord Slime. 'It gets cold in Antactica. Britain could be the place of affiliation for a while.'

'Should be fine,' said Crimson Fox. 'You have unique powers. They could prove a useful asset for the new team.'

Suddenly there was a loud bang outside the front of the Headquarters. The heroes assembled out the front and looked around.

'It seems quiet now,' said Metamorpho. 'But that was no backfire from an exhaust. Not a gunshot either. Something different.'

Suddenly the bang went off again, and a large hole appeared in the road in front of them.

'Invisible?' asked Fire.

'I doubt it,' said Crimson Fox. She walked up to the hole and reached out her hand. 'No, nothing here.' She looked at the hole as the rest of the team crowded around.

'What caused it?' asked Ice Maiden.

'Air Gun,' said a voice. 'I call it the Thunderstick.'

They looked up and on the roof above the HQ stood a proud figure, dressed in Blue.

'I'm the Anti-Blue Beetle,' he said. 'A supervillain, with an airgun like Ted Kord's. And I commit crimes aplenty, now that I'm sorted out.' He pointed his Thunderstick at the Justice League Europe, and a loud explosion and a jolt of air sent them hurtling. They got to their feet, and looked towards the roof.

'He's gone,' said Metamorpho.

Fire took to the skies and looked around. She couldn't see the Anti-Blue Beetle anywhere.

'Nope,' she said, shaking her head to the team. 'He's long gone.'

'We have a new adversary. We can add the Anti-Blue Beetle to our list.'

'Someone probably better call roads maintenance,' said Rhinoscream. 'This hole could cause a problem.'

The team went back inside, and later that evening Crimson Fox made some notes on her PC Log, and sent an email to the Blue Beetle Corps in El Paso. She had a feeling that they, of all people, should probably be notified about the world's brand new supervillain.

The End


Titans

Fire in the Hull

'I prefer blondes,' said Damian Wayne to Jamie Reyes.

'He likes me,' said Anima. 'Dreams of me I bet.'

'Hah. Rich,' said Robin. 'You are too weird for my liking. Father thinks the world of you, but it's a strange world.'

'From a guy who dressed up like a Bat,' replied Anima.

'It's his calling in life. It was destined to be,' said Robin proudly.

'With his son as his faithful sidekick who does his every whim,' said Anima.

'I run my own show, blondie,' replied Damien.

'He sends shivers through your spine. Doesn't he,' said Jamie.

'Who?' asked Anima.

'Prometheus,' replied Jamie.

'I'd rather not talk about it,' said Anima. 'The creep had his hands all over me recently. Problem is, I didn't even mind. Felt strange. Almost like I wanted it from him.'

'He's a bad guy,' said Damien. 'They often have that weird charm the chicks dig.'

'Well he's going down the next time he's in town,' said Anima.'

'How long are you staying exactly?' asked Jamie.

'She's on a recruitment drive with us,' replied Ted Kord, sitting down. 'Batman has asked us to give her some further training. Wants her in the Titans soon enough as a permanent member. Expecting both of you boys to be part of them as well.'

'We are part of the Titans,' said Damien. 'It's my main job a lot of the time.'

'Beast Boy and Raven are looking to reform soon enough,' said Ted. 'They want you three in the team. Jackson Hyde is being requested also. But he's mainly working with the new Justice League coming through. So the alternative they are after is Connor Kent.'

'Superboy?' asked Robin, looking at Ted.

'Seeing as your pal is hanging with Tim Fox these days, it looks as if you have a different Super Friend to call your buddy.'

'Times change,' said Robin, putting his head in his hands.

'Life moves on,' said Ted Kord, walking away.

'Let's go looking for Prometheus and Mitchel Blake Peacemaker,' said Jamie. 'Go up in the bug and look around.'

The three of them got permission from Ted Kord, and soon enough were in the Blue Beetle Bug flying around the skies of El Paso, and around the outskirts, looking for signs of Prometheus and his reanimated Peacemaker.

'They'll show their hand soon enough,' said Jamie Reyes.

'And the Titans will deal with him,' said Anima.

'Oh, we're the Titans now, are we?' asked Robin.

'You heard what Ted said,' replied Anima.

'And we fly around in the Blue Beetle Bug,' said Robin.

'Temporary loan from Kord Industries,' grinned Anima. 'Look, go there,' she said pointing.

Jamie directed the bug down to a clearing, which had signs of campsite activity. They got out and looked around.

'Could be any campers,' said Robin.

'Around here is where they reported Firefist and his cronies were hanging around,' said Anima. 'Where there's smoke..'

'There's fire,' replied Jamie Reyes. 'Oh no,' he said, as they turned and looked at smoke billowing from the Blue Beetle Bug. Suddenly Firefist appeared, and Prometheus and the Peacemaker Mitchell Blake were with him. Robin lept into action, dodging Firefists flames, concentrating on the one he could handle, as Jamie took on Peacemaker. Anima was not concerned. It was her fight. Prometheus was always her fight. It was something she had to deal with in life.

'Your a creep,' she said to him. He was about to launch an attack on her, but softened. He walked over to her, and put his arm around her shoulder as the other heroes battled it out with their adversaries.

'You know, Anima. I'm not that bad a guy once you get to know me.'

'Oh, really,' she said.

'It's why you are not pushing away my arm,' said Prometheus. 'You like me dear.'

'Hardly,' said Anima. Prometheus removed his arm from his shoulder, and touched her breast. She stood there, motionless. He removed his hand after a while.

'Can't hurt you anymore,' he said. 'Can't do it.'

He removed himself and got on top of the Bug. With some explosive devices he made some dents in the bug, and wrecked one of its legs.

'Come on. Let's get out of here.'

Jamie was finding the nanobots of Peacemaker frighteningly difficult to deal with, and Peacemaker seemed to recollect them when Jamie had destroyed them and remake them quite quickly. Extremely frustrating. Robin had managed to pin down Firefist, but Peacemaker grabbed him and shook Robin off, as they took to the skies and flew away. The boys got to their feet and looked at Anima.

'And you just did nothing,' said Robin. 'What kind of superhero are you anyway?'

Anima just stared at him, and said, 'Never Mind,' and went inside the bug. As they flew back to Blue Beetle HQ, there was silence. Raw nerves had been touched, and Anima was not herself. Prometheus got under her skin. But more than that. Into her heart.

The End


Blue & Gold: Hot Cunt & Harley Quinn for Lunch

'Yeh, she's a pretty hot cunt,' said Blue Beetle, looking at the magazine of bad girl Hotcunt.

'She's a handful,' said Booster Gold. 'Hanging around Harley Quinn these days.'

'Why'd you give me the magazin?' queried Ted.

'The girls have invited us to a picnic. In El Paso Park,' r'plied Booster.

'Fascinating,' said Blue Beetle. 'Dating an antihero.'

'Could be worse,' said Booster Gold.

'Not much,' said Ted.

The girls showed up the following day, and they made their way to El Paso Park. Soon enough they were dining on fried chicken and sipping on cola. Hot Cunt was looking ravishing in her bikini, sitting next to Ted, and Harley Quinn was massaging Booster's feet.

'I should break this foot,' said Harley Quinn.

'Please. Don't,' replied Booster Gold.

'Just kidding,' said Harley. 'Just.'

'You know, you've lost a lot of weight recently Ted,' said Hot Cunt. 'I'm impressed.'

'Nearly got the weight under control,' said Blue Beetle.

'My grandmother is a Kord,' said Hot Cunt. 'I think we might be somewhat related.'

'I'll have to make sure my hands don't wander then,' replied Blue Beetle.

'Oh,' said Hot Cunt, putting her hands on Ted's arm. 'Now that would be a shame.'

Ducks wandered up to the dining heroes and villains.

'I could shoot it,' said Harley Quinn. 'Duck for dinner.'

'You'd probably do it to, wouldn't you?' said Booster Gold.

'Ducks, dogs, cats. Young children. All the same to me,' replied Harley Quinn.

'You're all heart,' said Booster Gold.

'Oh, they're cute,' said Hot Cunt. She stood, and somehow managed to have her groin right in front of Blue Beetle's face for a moment, before kneeling down in front of the ducks and starting to sing to them.

'That was a moment,' said Blue Beetle. Booster Gold chuckled.

'Why do you guys always spoil our fun,' said Harley Quinn.

'Bad girls need taming,' said Booster Gold.

'Oh, you can tame me if you wanna try,' said Harley Quinn. 'But it will take a lot of heavy hitting.'

'What we do best,' said Blue Beetle.

'Humph,' replied Harley Quinn. 'I've always thought you two were underrated members of the Justice League. You know how to have a lot of fun. It's why I like Mr J. Endless merriment. Makes it easier dealing with that grim bloody Bat because of it.'

'He takes his job seriously,' said Booster Gold.

'So let's have some fun,' said Harley Quinn.

'What do you suggest?' asked Booster Gold.

'Paint the town red tonight,' said Harley Quinn.

And so that evening they went to taverns and clubs and dancehalls, and drank a lot and partied a lot and gambled a lot, but Ted stayed the sober one and, as he was driving them all home, he looked at Harley Quinn zonked out, with her hands somehow managing to be draped over Booster's nether region, and just chuckled. 'Lucky guy,' he said, as he drove through the city.

The End


Watchmen: The Metropolis Experiment

The Anti-Monitor has summoned the Watchmen to Metropolis. They are not happy with this. They lived in a perfectly good world, which they swore to protect, and Metropolis in this strange new planet is not to their liking.

'Infinite worlds are a lot to manage,' said Harbinger. 'Crises happen, but memory remains, and structure. No matter how worlds are vanished away by the cosmic tamperings, structure remains in some way, shape or form. There are old grudges against this society. This Metropolis. Its glory, the Superman, fights for truth, justice and the American way. But he has enemies. And his oldest adversary has plotted his downfall since the beginning of things. Life has a central figure in some ways. A benchmark on which others are measured and judged by. And it is foundation stone on which things are built and function thereon. I am indebted to my parents, as we all are, for bringing me into this world. But when the child thinks itself greater than its mother or father, it is no child of mine. So you have been summoned from your reality for a number of reasons. There are other worlds of Infinity. It's ocean is endless, and its imagination likewise. But in the great sphere of our realities there are also matters of concern. Connection points. Problematic connection points. Oh, mark my words, in these ways and practices of life you know well, conformed since a young age into the general structure of those above you. All experience this. And the minor worlds which will soon be gathered together to unite the overall program will experience revelation and wonder at all the greater cosmos can offer them. But, again, there are connection points. Connections points of great concern, were another great reality exists, and other lesser ones also, full of ambition. Behold, Tailgunner Jo.'

Harbinger turned and looked up at the sky. Images flashed before them of a girl, somehow inside the mind of her father, battling creatures in an electric nightmare world.

'She is brave, and of good courage. And the fight she is fighting she is generally winning. There are others still. Champions who rule their universe, but know not of the greater reality of this world, this central power battery, which holds it all together. But soon, as I mentioned, they will be united. They will be united, out of dire necessity, to combat a strange other reality. A marvellous creation, of minds serving their own purpose and plans. And the connections which will soon build will lead to a battle of mind blowing proportions we have never experienced, in all our crises, in all our trials and tribulations.'

'Why have you brought us here?' asked the Comedian. 'And I'm sick of life. I've been dead twice, and it's starting to get repetitive.'

'Some things don't die,' said the Harbinger. 'No matter how much they are killed. It is the way of things in our realities. Metropolis is to learn a lesson. From an early figure who dimension hopped long before it became a trend. A certain Mr Myxzptlk has been plotting along time, like Lex Luthor. They like power, but Mxyzptlk likes to throw spanners in the works. For a bit of fun. They have an experiment planned with Superman, to put him through trials. He is a strong fighter for justice, but this experiment might normally just get the better of him. United his foes will prove quite formidable. You are here. To watch the situation. And in a culmination of things, when Doomsday is again at hand, you will intervene and deal with the situation. So for now the Watchmen will Watch. You will be returned home once the task is complete.'

'And we don't get a choice?' asked Dr Manhattan.

'Few,' replied Harbinger, rising to the skies. 'Every really do.'

The watchmen stood there, on the streets of Metropolis. Finally Comedian said. 'Let's knick some of the cash from an innocent. We'll pay it back. Find a hotel room and order room service.'

'As good a start as any,' replied Nite Owl. And the Watchmen once more were again to save the world.


Omega Men: The Hydra Kai Mission 2

'Keldross IV,' said Primus. 'Coming into view.'

Kalista and Tigorr watched as the screen showed images of the planet they were approaching, Keldross IV in the Keldross system.

'Seven planets fall in the zone of oxygen,' said Primus. 23 planets in the system, and on Keldross IV they have strong religious adherents. Hydra Kai is in an order of recluses who live in mountain regions.'

'Monks?' queried Tigorr.

'Something like that,' replied Primus. 'Hydra Kai is humanoid of Apokolips. Keldross is a multicultural stellar system with many galactic races present. On Keldross IV they have ecumenical galactic pantheistic religions. Common in the Keldross system. Hydra Kai himself is not overtly religious, but grew up in such an household in earlier times of Apokolips. The order was arranged to protect him and keep him in a sanctuary were his enemies could not find him.'

'They only know it's an order on the planet,' said Kalista. 'It's all I knew. Harry is not always a cold blooded killer, and left me alone after he had extracted the information he wanted. But for Hydra's sake we need to find him, because Lobo can find anyone. Best in the business.'

'We're approaching the planet,' said Primus. He contacted a space station and gave their identification details. One of the cities in the southern hemisphere granted them access, and when landed they were given temporary visa access to the planet after some quarantine and health checks.

'How do we get there?' asked Kalista.

'We'll get to the continent of Astra, and hire a vehicle to get us up into the alpine regions. I know where he's at. I doubt Lobo would have found him yet.'

They hired a flight to the city of Bizarra on the continent of Astra, and found a suitable all terrain vehicle to drive to where they needed to go. As they drove through the landscape, Kalista looked out at the passing greenery. Like many planets, but with its own unique flora. Peasants were in the fields gathering foodcrops, and much of the land they were passing through seemed to be of a simpler lifestyle rather than a technological paradise. The religious way it seemed. They stayed in a hotel for a night, and 3 days later they were approaching the alpine region of Astra. Primus pulled into a shopping district, and they purchased climbing equipment.

'We'll have to mountain climb to reach the order,' said Primus. 'It is very reclusives, and served by a community which bring the order foodstuffs and their other needs. A guide will lead us up.'

Soon enough they reached a small village at the base of the mountains, and Primus seemed to know where he was. He found a villager, who brought him to a man who nodded.

'Long time no see, Primus. You wish to reconnect with Hydra Kai?'

'His life is in danger. There is a deadly bounty hunter called Lobo wishing to capture him. I promised him protection. We're here to take care of the issue once more.'

'I will lead you up,' said the man. 'We go in the morning. You may sleep in my barn.'

They were led into a barn, and the man came back a little while later with foodstuffs and blankets.

'It's cold,' said Tigorr.

'The hay is warm,' said Kalista.

'It will be even colder were we are going,' said Primus. 'So settle in and get used to it. It's a hard climb, and will take a while.'

They settled in for the night and Kalista, looking out a window of the barns at the stars, hoped to the universe they would not be too late.


Omega Men: The Hydra Kai Mission 3

'The rocks are loose,' said their guide. 'Tread carefully.'

The sun in the sky seemed colder to Kalista. But that was really just the weather, though it was a bright enough day. Weeds were common amongst the rocky terrain, and there were jack rabbit creatures hopping around, some of them staring at the travellers. It was a steep incline, but up above them were the mountains proper, were the climbing equipment would be needed. It took them several hours, and when they reached the base proper of the mountain their guide indicated to set up camp.

'We will need to be fresh for the climb,' he said. 'Until then enjoy the fresh air and mountain views.'

'These are hard to digest,' said Tigorr to Primus, indicating the food pellets they had brought with them for the adventure.

'They are high energy and digest slowly,' replied Primus. 'We can't be carrying with us regular foodstuffs as we don't have the time or the room in our packs. The climb is hard, and we need the Zixov pellets to give us the energy we need.'

'They taste like medicine tablets,' said Kalista, swallowing down her pellet and sipping on water.

'This is not a holiday,' said Primus. 'Get used to it dear.'

The afternoon passed, and they lay in the tent, listening to the howling wind, and the tune from their guide he was playing on a pipe. It was very traditional sounding, and seemed appropriate for this place to Kalista. Another world, away from the technological paradise she was used to, were people lived in the old ways of early civilizations. All that night, as the wind howled, Kalista lay there, in her thermal gear, thinking about her life, and what a place like this would do to her. Her own homewworld had places like this, but was mostly advanced. But it took you back, to simpler times, away from the hustle and bustle of the Metropolis lifestyle she was used to. The morning came, and Primus kicked her awake.

'Up and attem, sweetie. We have a long climb ahead of us.'

Kalista swallowed down another Zixov pill, and soon enough their guide was leading the way with the gear, picks and rods being hammered into the mountain side, as they climbed.

'They will not wish us to use the way of the servants of the order,' said their guide. 'They like to stay separate to visitors as a rule, but I am known, and they will likely recall Primus once we reach the top. So we travel this way, till we reach higher up.'

As they made their way up, carefully picking their handholds, and using the ropes, Kalista looked out. The view was stunning, beneath them the green expanse of Aristan landscape, a beauty to behold. It was cold, but it was real, and she felt – alive. It was many hours of slow climbing, and snow was starting to interfere with their climb. But eventually they reached a pathway.

'It leads through the mountain into the sanctuary,' said their guide. 'We will need lighting.' He produced a flashlight, and they entered the tunnel. It took an hour or so, but they emerged into a valley with greenery everywhere. Soon enough they encountered huts, and the residents stared at them, uncertain about these strange visitors. Kalista looked back, at perhaps frightened faces. What did they think of these strange visitors?

'The temple,' said their guide, after an hours walk. It was indeed a temple, with architecture stylings they had already seen. Their guide took them up steps, and what appeared to be a monk suddenly appeared and looked at them. Their guide spoke to him, and the monk indicated for Primus to come to him.

'Master Primus. I do remember you.'

'Hydra Kai? Is he still with you?'

The monk looked at Primus and smiled. 'Hydra Kai is going through a trial. Questioning.'

'He's having an epiphany. How wondeful,' said Kalista.

'He is finding himself,' said the monk. 'He is inside, but he is in solitary prayer. He will be for a number of days. We would not disturb him till he has found his answers.'

'Then we will wait,' said Primus.

'As you will,' said the monk. 'Follow me.'

The monk guided them inside, and there were other monks doing their business. They were taken to modest sleeping quarters, and soon a meal was given to them, with what appeared to be rice and vegetables, with a meat of some kind.

'At last, real food,' said Tigorr.

'I will wait with you for the time being,' said their guide. 'To show you the way back down if necessary.'

'That would be appreciated,' replied Primus.

'So now we wait?' queried Kalista, eating her rice.

'Now we wait,' replied Primus, leader of the Omega Men.


Darkstars Movie Plot Details

Flint is flying high with the Darkstars. There are accusations over mismanagement of public funds donated by the government to the Darkstars.

He is bumped into a caravan park, in a dingy and smelly old caravan. He turns to alcohol. He turns to gambling. He smokes heavily. He snorts cocaine. He ends up in huge debt. He becomes a bum, and stumbles home to his caravan with floozies boasting about his ex-Darkstar status on weekends.

Meanwhile, the troublemakers of Evil Star have been gradually getting the upper hand over Donna Troy. The world is starting to get worried.

The woman stop coming, and Flint is bombed out in his caravan. He becomes depressed. He goes to an Alanon meeting, but he can't quit his boozing.

Meanwhile the trouble continues in the papers and on TV reporting about the struggles of Donna Troy.

Flint is pushed to the edge. He comes to a bridge and throws himself in. He is plunged on the water, but washed up on the edge of the river. The following morning he wakes, with birds pecking at him, and he drags himself home. That evening he watches the TV and sees the troubles of Donna Troy. He settles down and listens to the radio.

'Think you might be right,' replies Donna.



The Adventures of Eradicator & Superboy: Black Obsidian Doomsday Vs Brimstone

'Hey,' said Ted Kord. 'How's it hanging Raddie,' he said to Eradicator over the Superman Defense Net. Ted was at Super Buddies HQ and was contacting the Superman Defense Net team for an issue with the new threat Black Obsidian Doomsday.

'It's like this, Raddie. Your new guy. Calls himself Black Obsidian Doomsday now. He's gone off to have a holiday on Brimstone's Island. The Super Buddies dealt with the issue a while back when Brimstone and his family were causing some problems for the villagers there. Quaint mob. Go right back.'

'He's antagonizing the villagers?' asked Eradicator.

'Nope. Brimstone himself. His kids, mainly. Playing around with them, wrestling them. Trying to be a cool uncle by the looks of it.'

'I understand,' replied the Eradicator.

'Can't you guys handle it?' asked Superboy, chewing on some of DC Comics Wares new product, Superman chewing gum.

'We got our hands full. The villages contacted us and asked for help. You guys have experience with Black Obsidian Doomsday, so I figured you could deal with it.'

'Will do,' replied the Eradicator.

'Over and out,' said Blue Beetle.

'And here I was planning a day on video games. Pokemon Vs the Justice League from Capcom. Drat,' said Superboy.

'I understand not the fascination with those games,' said Eradicator. 'Real life is where our adventures take place.'

'So let's go and have one,' replied Superboy.

'Not much later, having flown to the Island, they were confronted by Brimstone with his wife, hands on his chin, on the beach.

'What's up big fella?' Superboy asked the monolithic Brimstone.

Brimstone pointed down the beach. Black Obsidian Doomsday was playing with Brimstone's children and had gotten their attention.

'He's jealous,' said Eradicator. 'The new guy is playing popular uncle to his kids.'

'Bummer,' said Superboy.

Just then a Supernova of light emerged in the sky and hurtled down, crashing in the beach. Brimstone reacted with a bit of alarm, but Superboy said 'What the f?'

A lady stood up from the beach sand, and smiled at them, dazed for a moment.

'Ok,' she said. 'Where is this usurper for Brimstone's affection?'

'Nice outfit. Who are you?' asked Superboy.

'My name is Nova York, if you must know. But you can call me Ultranova. Best friend and accomplice of Supernova. I'm new to the hero business. Got a family full of witches, and the Presence suggested I make some amends for our tainted reputation.'

'Another York girl,' said Superboy.

'There is the usurping doom,' pointed Eradictor.

Ultranova walked up the beach. 'Yo, Black Obsidian Doomsday. Catch me if you can.'

And she took off into the skies. Black Obsidian Doomsday looked at Brimstone's children and said 'Sorry kids. She looks like more fun for now. It's been sweet. But I gotta go.' And sure enough he took to the skies, taking after Ultranova. Brimstone and his wife lept for joy, and got up to start playing with their children once more. He smiled a Brimstone smile at the Supermen.

'Job done,' said Superboy.

'And have a New Superhero. Ultranova.'

'All in a days work,' replied Eradicator's young sidekick.

The End


The Adventures of Eradicator & Superboy: Supernova Vs Ultranova

'Super New,' said Supernova.

'Ultra New,' replied Ultranova.

'I like Supernew,' said Superboy.

'Shut up,' said Yellow Peri. 'Or I'll put a spell on you Conner Kent.'

'Super New,' said Supernova.

'Ultra New,' replied Ultranova.

'Listen New York Special. It's Super New. We have a Superman. There is no such thing as Ultraman. Kapiche?'

'He's in the indies from Japan, isn't he?' queried Superboy to Eradicator.

'What's wrong with Brand New?' asked the Eradicator.

'Lame,' said Yellow Peri.

'Tired formula,' said Rose Beetle.

'Super New,' said Supernova.

'Ultra New,' replied Ultranova.

'They are very proud, I think,' said Eradicator. 'Neither willing to yield.'

'They've been arguing like this for days,' said Yellow Peri. 'Booster Gold has been getting stick from Supernova on it as well. The new sidekick thinks she rules, he says. Proud of her 'Firehawkesque' costume she says. Think she's the hottest girl in town.'

'I am the hottest girl. And it's Ultranova,' said Ultranova.

'There's no such thing as Ultranovas,' said Supernova.

'There is. Latest research calls particular stars Ultranovas. Like a Supernova but at a greater level. Like the Pluto debate. Dwarf planet vs real planet. I'm afraid your just a dwarf, buddy,' replied Ultranova.

'That's telling him,' said Yellow Peri.

'Daddy think's she is out of her class. Says she needs to learn from Supernova's experience,' said Rose Beetle.

'Who's the dad? Some sort of Warlock I suppose?' chuckled Superby.

Magic Galaxy stared at Superboy.

'Oh. Right,' replied Superboy. 'All in the family is it?'

'Muggle idiot,' said Rose Beetle.

'What? You have the gift and we don't?' asked Superboy.

'Oh, it's only a Harry Potter joke, you idiot,' replied Rose Beetle. 'Everyone has some elements of ESP and Magical structures in them. All people are laced with all sorts of levels in their design and makeup. We are extraordinary beings. Made in the image of God I suppose.'

'The House of El concurs with that,' replied Superboy. 'Both Supernova and Ultranova are cool. End of debate.'

'Supernova,' said Supernova.

'Ultranova,' said Ultranova.

'Here we go again,' said Superboy.

The End


Goldstar & Firehawk: A Split in Time

Part 1

'It's a pretty pathetic place to be,' said Lorraine Reilly, the Superhero Firehawk.

'We need to get paid,' replied Michelle Carter, the Superhero Goldstar.

'Doesn't your brother have enough money?” asked Firehawk.

'He's loaded,' replied Michelle. 'one of the richest, in fact. I can always count on him for sure. But he's not my daddy. A girl still needs to earn her own keep in life.'

'Cheer up girls,' said Power Girl, coming into the room. 'Telemarketing Superhero Action figures is a hell of a life.'

'Sure it is,' replied Firehawk sarcastically. 'Yes sir, the Batman figure comes with the grappling hook. No sir, the Harley Quinn figure can not have the clothing removed. Man o man, Power Girl. This is a one Star Squadron, no dobut about it.'

'We pay you enough. It's either this or back to your Goodwill ambassador status for the Justice League, with a lousy $14,000 a year payday.'

'Yes boss,' said Goldstar and Firehawk as one.'

Power Girl nodded and walked away.

'Bossy bitch,' said Goldstar.

'Isn't she though,' replied Firehawk. 'And these days she's away from the office half the time anyway, out in space, living at the Citadel Community, dating this Harry Hokum.'

'He's a classic,' said Goldstar.

Just then the phone rang, and Firehawk answered, getting on with her next client.

Later that day, after work, the girls were in the restaurant down the street from one star squadron, eating their nightly meal they did together. They noticed, though, a figure with a laser rifle, sneaking up across the street.

'There's trouble,' said Firehawk.

'Yeh, watcha gonna do though,' replied Goldstar.

'Come on. We're not that pathetic yet,' said Firehawk.

'And I was enjoying my meatballs and spaghetti, replied Goldstar.

They told the waitress to put the meal on their tab, and exited the restaurant.

'He's headed to one star Squadron,' said Goldstar.

'He looks alien. An enemy of the Citadel perhaps,' said Firehawk.

'Could be,' said Goldstar.

They approached the figure, who was blue skinned, and when alerted to their presence turned and pointed his laser rifle at them.

'Hold on horsie,' said Firehawk. 'What are you up to?'

'Mind your own business, human women. This does not concern you,' replied the alien. He shot a warning shot above their heads.

'Flame on,' yelled Firehawk, who turned to flame. Goldstar took off her coat, revealing her Goldstar uniform.

'Buggles and Boggles,' screeched the man, and shot at Firehawk. The poured out flame which consumed the laser shot, and Goldstar rushed him, grabbing his weapon.

'We're taking you in,' said Firehawk. 'The Alien Defense Force can sort you out.'

'Listen to me. It's important,' said the Alien. 'If I don't kill Power Girl, the Galaxy will know a war of destruction it's never felt before. I'm from the future, and soon enough Power Girl uses her influence with Harry Hokum to start a war with Apokolips which consumes the entire galaxy virtually. Countless worlds will be destroyed if I don't kill the kryptonian woman.'

'How do we know you are telling the truth?' asked Goldstar.

The alien pulled out a ragged looking newspaper article. The head article read 'Civilizations destroyed as the Citadel-Apokolips war rages on.'

'Harldy proof. You could have manufactured that,' said Goldstar.

'Why the hell would I want to do that? She must die, or countless lives will be destroyed. I have only the technology to go one way in time. If I fail, it will be the end of us all,' said the alien.

Suddenly a green lizard man appeared, and shot at the alien. The bullet hit him in the skull, and he collapsed. His last words were 'Destroy Power Girl, or everyone is doomed.'

They turned but the lizard man had escaped in an alien craft, and was soon out of sight.

Firehawk looked at Goldstar. 'Now how are we going to expain this to bossgirl?'

Part 2

The girls had decided to wait the weekend out and tell Power Girl on Monday about the bad news. But Goldstar contacted Supernova who came and explained some of the now new timeline problems.

'What happened,' began Supernova, 'When those aliens entered past history, is that they have likely created a new split in the timeline. When you speak to Power Girl on Monday, she will obviously change her decision in the future.'

'So the war will never happen and everything is now fine,' said Firehawk.

'But only in our timeline. In the split timeline, everything is progressing as if the aliens never entered in. Now the problem with splits in the timeline is that the universe doesn't like them very much and eventutally intertwines destiny one way or the other to put things back together. Destiny will still have its say. So some grand calamity can still happen,' said Supernova.

'Unless we fix the problem in the other timeline,' said Goldstar.

'Exactly,' replied Supernova.

'Then we're still screwed,' said Firehawk.

'So you girls will have to use a Timeship and go to the future of the citadel and persuade Power Girl to not make that decision,' said Supernova. 'In the other Timeline.'

'The Timeship will be able to hone in on were the split in time reaches it's pivotal moment, when the aliens left. We will need to thus set the sphere for probaby a year or so before they left,' said Goldstar.

The girls came to the Timeship, and entered in. Supernova smiled at them. 'You have met the alien. If I join you it only causes more confusion. Take the ship to where the alien died, and go from there.'

The roof opened up, and the girls took to the skies. They soon arrived down the street from one Star Squadron, where the alien had died. Readings started coming through on the timeship control panel.

'There's a strong reverberation on this spot for about a decade from now,' said Goldstar.

'So let's risk going 9 years into the future,' said Firehawk.

They set the coordinates, and programmed the ship for the journey to the Citdael. It took off, and as it began its journey through time and space, they could see stars passing them by, and changes happening. It took a few days, but they arrived at the Citdael, and landed the ship.

'A news outlet,' said Firehawk.

The girls had gold coins with them, a universal enough currency, and found a place to trade it for Citadel money. The found a news outlet, and reviewed things.

'Tensions are growing between Citadel and Apokolips,' said Firehawk.

'But not outright war just yet,' said Goldstar, reading the news magazine.

'We've come at just the right time,' said Firehawk.

They had taken lodgings in a tavern, and had rooms. There were all sorts of visiting aliens in the tavern below.

'Now, we have to get in to greet Power Girl,' said Firehawk.

'We're her besties. Shouldn't be a problem,' said Goldstar.

They visited the palace, but after persisting with the guards, were thrown into prison for being a public nuisance.

'Aliens,' said a wardsmen. 'We'll have fun with you girls in the arena.'

'I figured that,' sighed Goldstar.

'Some girls have all the luck,' said Firehawk.

Part 3

'My name is Baron Zamdam. I will be entertaining you 2 girls for 3 months. oR should I say, you will be entertaining me for 3 months. The adjudicator of galactic affairs has given us 3 months of your precious time to have fun with you. You see, you did not register properly upon arrival. We could construe that as an intergalactic attack upon citadel authority.'

'We're superheroes from Earth. oN a mission,' said Firehawk.

'Your grounds for holding us are baseless,' said Goldstar.

'Be that as it may, put these on,' said the Baron, flinging warrior queen bikinis at them.

'In there,' said a green skinned lizard man, the Baron's right hand man, pointing to a changing room.

'This is the fella that killed our alien,' whispered Firehawk.

'I know,' whispered Goldstar in reply.

The superheroines changed, and were shortly the most comely looking pair of iron maidens in the citadel.

'You fight tonight,' said the lizard man.

The night came around and the girls were in the Baron's presence again.

'We must speak with Power Girl. She will soon make a decision which will thrust the Citadel into conflict with Apokolips. We've come from Earth a decade ago in Earth time to prevent that from happening. An alien came and warned us.'

'I see,' replied the Baron. 'Humorous tale. It won't save you from the arena though.'

The lizard man, though, overheard the girls story.

'How did you get here then?' asked the Baron, now amused.

'In a timeship,' said Goldstar.

'And were is this Timeship?' asked the Baron.

'At the docks. We can show it to you to prove our case,' said the Girls.

'Nonsense. You fight. Tomorrow we will see if your story is true,' stated the Baron firmly.

The girls fought robot warriors in the pit, and defeated them. The enemies for 3 rounds were never that tought.

'They just want to see our assets,' said Firehawk.

'Uh huh,' replied Goldstar.

The morning came, and the Baron asked the girls to show him the Timeship. But it was gone.

'Your right hand man has taken it. He killed the alien who came back in time to warn us,' said Firehawk.

'A likely tale,' replied the Baron, but he had noticed his servant had mysteriously disappeared. 'Well, you will be my guests for a while. Get used to it,' said the Baron.

'Well,' said Firehawk to Goldstar. 'We wait out the time, and finally see Power Girl.'

'But how do we get back to our own time?' asked Goldstar.

'That could be a problem,'' replied Firehawk.

Part 4

Baron Zamdam had a host of Robot Droids in his employ.

'I'll be damned if I don't know where that blasted Rodu has gotten himself too,' said the Baron to the girls one afternoon in the harem.

'We're not your women, Baron Zamdam,' said Firehawk.

'oh come ladies,' said the Baron. 'I'm an esteemed gent of the Citadel Empire. You could do worse in life.'

'Baron Zamdam. Rodu has been found, down in the city, spending gold at the casinos,' said a droid.

'I don't pay him enough to visit casinos,' said the Baron. 'Come, let us see where our man has been.'

The girls accompanied the Baron with his droid warriors, and they found the lizard man Rodu drunk, at a roulette wheel in a big citadel city casino.

'Where did you get the money?' asked the Baron in a heavy voice.

'Time travel. Pinched gold from all over the place. Silly girls led me right to their timeship. I've had a blast,' said the drunken lizard man.

'Where is the ship?' asked Firehawk.

'Down at the docks. But I locked it. You'll never get my gold,' replied Rodu.

'Why did you kill the blue skinned man?' asked Goldstar.

'War is good for the Baron's business,' replied the lizard.

'I manufacture battle droids,' said the Baron.

'It's a galactic war. You'll be busier than you could imagine,' said Goldstar.

The Baron summed up the situation. 'Making profit is good for business, but the sound of a galactic war I don't really want on my conscience. Droids. Take Rodu. We'll make an example of him in the arena.'

'Gah,' screeched Rodu, as he was taken into custody.

The Baron took the girls to the main Citadel community. Harry Hokum entertained Baron Zamdam from time to time.

'Goldstar. Firehawk. I've heard legendary stories on you from my beloved.'

Power Girl sat there, next to Harry Hokum. Just then there was a dilation in the timeline, and Power Girl was dizzy for a moment.

'oh I remember,' she said. 'Don't start the war with Apokolips,' said Power Girl.

'What was that?' asked Harry Hokum.

'Nothing, dearest,' replied Power Girl, and winked at Firehawk and Goldstar.

The Baron seemed satisfied, and they went down to the spacedocks.

'Well, how do we get in?' asked Firehawk.

'I have an override passcode,' said Goldstar, typing it in. Soon enough they were inside, and the ship was full of gold.

'He's hardly going to confess were he got it all,' said Goldstar.

'And we can hardly make that many diversions. The timeline would be a wreck.'

'We'll put up with it,' said Goldstar.

And so the girls bid Baron Zamdamn farewell, and made the journey back to Earth.

When the weekend was over, they found Power Girl at work.

'Where have you been? I've had headaches and weird dreams of lizards all weekend,' blustered Power Girl.

'Life goes on,' said Firehawk.

'Now were do we begin,' started Goldstar, as they explained the long and complicated tale.

The End




NEW GODS: NEW CHARACTERS


Arcturus

Arcturus is a son of Highfather of New Genesis, named after the Arcturus Constellation. Like his brother Pleiades, he was sent to the constellation which bore his name when he was young, to be raised in this community to teach togetherness and unity amongst the galactic nobility. Arcturus rides a space bike, from the same manufacturers as Lobo the Czarnian's space bike, but less threatening. Arcturus has the 'Infinity Accelerator' CPU attached to his arm, which enhances his ESP powers, so that he has advanced Telekinetics and Coercion. He is a pleasant New God, and smiles warmly at people, trained well in Arcturian hospitality. Upon the completion of his service in Arcturus, timed the same time as his brother Pleiades, he returns to New Genesis to take up his role as a New God.


Pleiades

Pleiades is a son of Highfather of New Genesis, named after the Pleiades Constellation. Pleiades rides a galactic Luna Rover, like the Forever People, through the galaxy. Pleiades gifts in ESP include mind control and farsensing. He can sense what people at a long distance are thinking and has the ability to manipulate their thoughts to his will. He also as an Infinit Acceleratot CPU, attached to his chest. He is a bit of charismatic New God, with an outgoing and brash personality – a ladies man in every way. He initially likes Big Barda, but when Mr Miracle makes it quite clear to his brother that Barda is taken, he falls in love with one of the Female Furies, and chases her to Apokolips, Darkseid amused by the proposal of marriage to his servant. At the same time as Arcturus, meeting up with him, they travel to New Genesis to take up their roles as New God's.


St John the Vindicator

St John is a religious Prophet of Apokolips. Having travelled the Galaxy he has made notations in his 'Book of Revelations' about the spirituality which is present in countless galactic civilizations. There are themes very common which run through galactic life from the Presence, who is known in various manifestations in many worlds. Time and time again he has noted that the war of the sons of darkness and light pervades galactic life in an ongoing struggle between good and evil, and Apokolips is no exception. Apokolips is countered by New Genesis, and the war rages on between them, the rivalry, perfectly expressed in the wills of Highfather and Darkseid. St John the Vindicator feeds poor people of Apokolips and preaches to them that Judgement Days come time and time again, when despot beasts learn their lessons from thrones of judgement. St John is a cleric, trained in religion of many worlds, and serves the decent citizens of the galaxy to bring them justice and consolation. He often works in underground Apokoliptian chambers, where he teaches the way of the sons of light and gives comfort to ordinary citizens of Apokolips struggling with their fierce overlord Darkseid. Mr Miracle meets St John in a meeting of citizens of Apokolips, staying with Big Barda, who has heard of the groups, keeping this information hidden from Darkseid. St John anoints Mr Miracle who, for a while, has zeal and performs miracles of healing for many affected Apokoliptians and is revered as a saviour, a title which Mr Miracle denies, but seems attached to. Barda suggest he likes being a 'Hero' and Scott hardly denies this truth. In 'Throne of the Beast' Darkseid debates Mr Miracle on his own version of galactic justice, and St John encourages Mr Miracle to be a voice for the oppressed in life. St John dresses similarly to Jack T Chance and John Constantine, and holds a staff with the symbol of eternal life (used by Death of the Endless) at the end of it. He also uses holy water to cleanse people.


Jezebel Morningstar

Jezebel is a fallen angel, a female Demoness, who is worshipped by a cult on Apokolips. She is able to manifest, and has battled the heavenly host of New Genesis, having come to Apokolips. She is the 'Fallen One' of Apokolips, and the Archangels Ramiel and Raguel battle her from New Genesis to teach her her new lowly status amongst the heavenly hierarchy, only now fit as an idol of Apokolips. She is one of the 'Morningstars' of the Galaxy, and is enfused by Scott Free's tales of Lucifer Morningstar of Earth, who she calls a kindred spirit and is eager to meet at some point in the future. St John the Vindicator is the archenemy of Jezebel Morningstar, and he summons the power of the Light to vanquish her whenever she gets to close. Jezebel teaches her followers to rise high in society and be ambassadors of debauchery and decadence and every lavish lifestyle the whims of the heart wishes for itself. She is shallow and conceited, and very proud, and fondly mingles with Granny Goodness at times, a soul she says has a proper sense of humour.




New Teen Titans: Terra Reborn

Terra has been summoned up from the dead by Brother Blood. She has been infused with Dragon's Blood. She causes Earth to rock and the rocks have a bloodred tone to them, as they rain down on innocents. She is a wild banshee of a spirit, causing havoc in the world. Nightwing, Donna Troy, Cyborg, Raven and Starfire confront her on the grounds of Titans Tower, where she has built a hill, and with Brother Blood and his followers present, they are beckoning the Titans to come out and play.

'I am a goddess, now,' says Terra.

'You are deluded,' says Beast Boy. 'Like Deathstroke deluded you, this Brother Blood has possessed your soul.'

'I sense turmoil in you Tara Markov,' says Raven. 'This is not your will. Terrorizing innocents.'

'Show her you are of the blood,' says Brother Blood.

Terra raises up bloody rocks which hurtle at the Titans who duck and weave them. Cyborg shoots at them, and Wonder Girl knocks them to pieces, Nightwing ducking them and Beast Boy flying around them.

'We can play this game,' says Raven. 'But you are a Titan. You're a dead Titan, but you are reborn. You have a second chance at life Tara.

'Raise up a dragon,' commanded Brother Blood to Terra.

Terra forms rocks in the shape of a dragon which hurtle out bloody magma at the titans. Starfire blasts the dragon and it disintegrates.

'We can defeat you if we have to Terra,' says Nightwing. 'Fight off this mind control.'

'I – I can't,' replies Terra. 'The grip is too strong.' Then a maniacal look comes on her face and she says 'I don't want to. Being evil is much more fun.'

She hurtles down more rocks at the Titans, who retreat back to the tower to regroup.

Terra sits down and starts eating an apple. 'Pathetic,' she yells to the Titans. 'You are giving up already.'

'You are boring,' yells Beast Boy. 'Pathetic attempts at being a supervillain. Deathstrokes farts are more of a concern.'

'Funny beast boy,' smiles Terra. 'Got any more jokes.'

'Yeh. Your body odour,' replies Beast Boy. 'It always bothered me. My new girlfirend. But she smells.'

'Shut up,' says Terra, starting to brighten up.

'She was always a pain in the neck,' says Cyborg. 'Always wanted to do things her way. Geo Force said he had endless problems with his juvenile sister.'

'Hey, I'm a great sister,' replies Terra, wandering over to the Titans.

'Yeh, right,' says changeling. 'You eat way too much of Titans food, and your always late to meeting.'

'A girl has to take care of herself,' says Terra.

'Aren't you forgetting? You serve Brother Blood now,' says Raven.

Brother Blood was glaring at Terra and the Titans.

'I, I, I,' began Terra.

'Put a cloak over her,' says Donna Troy to Raven, who enshrouds Terra with a magical cloak of protection and takes her aside.

The Titans go on to battle Brother Blood, but he withdraws and escapes.

Terra is brought into Titans Tower and for the next while she is counselled by Raven and brought back to the light.



Intergalactic Bounty Hunters: Shlagen

Shlagen picked up the wrench. 'A spitroid's work is never done,' he sighed. He got to work on Lobo's bike, dismantling it slowly and cleaning it bit by bit.

'It's in pretty rough shape,' he said to Lobo, who had entered the hangar.

'You can fix it Shlagen my man. Spitroids have knacks with things like this,' replied Lobo.

'You don't pay me enough,' replied Shlagen. 'I've worked for you 3 months now, and all I get is beans from Trill, who comes down and keeps me company. At least the Omega Men paid me well.'

'Shaddup and clean,' replied the Main Man.

'By the moons of Slagg,' replied Shlagen, and continued on with his work. Trill wandered in, with a bowl of rice and beans, and Shlagen nibbled on them as he worked.

'You should put on the trousers we bought you,' said Trill. 'Lobo had weird etiquette. He is sensitive about private bits on his ship.'

'He maims everyone by their kajonies, has a flexible daughter, and complains about a Spitroid doing their natural.' But Shlagen picked up the pants and pulled them on.

'That's better,' said Trill.

'I'll tell you a story from Slagg. When it was new, there were blue creatures which the yellows warred with. Ironically we could mate and produce green offspring, but they could produce no seed of their own. The races eventually worked out truces, but the blue skinned declined in times. You get them up north. When I was young I met a blue skin. He taught me about engines, and I learned a lot from him. It became my career in the end. I worked the spaceways of Slagg, and the Omega Men took me in in time. I saw the galaxy, here and there, and met lots of races. Lobo is a handful, but there are worse than Czarnians if you can believe that.'

'I think I might,' replied Trill.

'Life to a Spitroid is to be enjoyed the way it is and the way it seems to be. The natural of things. We go with the flow of things very much, and don't always argue, but some can be quite stubborn. I've learned to run with the ebb and flow of Lobo's humour, much as I have with all this team,' replied Shlagen.

'But you want to be paid,' smiled Trill.

'He gave me some credits last week. Not much, but enough for a bit of this and that. Have to earn my keep for a while, apparently. But what choice do I have? I've been away from things a long time, and in this new life again I need to find a stability to get back to my routine. When you guys dragged me up from the depths, I knew I had service again. To life – to the galaxy. Even to Lobo. But I have plans. I'll possibly even want my old job again.'

'What gets you there,' smiled Trill. 'I'll sing.' So Trill began singing as Shlagen worked on Lobo's bike and, after a while, taking a break, looked around at all the junk in the hangar which he had been asked to get to soon enough. A Spitroids work was never done.

The End



Intergalactic Bounty Hunters: Doc

Doc was hanging around a seedy bar on Aiello, his homeworld in the Vega system.

'Hey babe. Let me read your skull. I know Frenology,' said Doc.

'What the hell are you?' replied the Cyborg lady. 'Are you human inside all that?'

'I know I'm not much to look at, but you ain't that pretty.'

'It was the result of surgery,' replied the Cyborg. 'I had a skiing accident, and lost half my face and brain and left arm. I know, I know, hideous right? But my libido is intact.'

'What's yer name?' asked Doc.

'Stella,' replied the Cyborg. 'You are one of the few cy's I've met. There's an online dating agency, but I don't like any of them. You are really out there, but you seem nice. What do you do?'

'I work for the service. In medical records. My specialty.'

'Sounds cute,' replied Stella.

'There's the bastich,' said a voice.

'Oh no,' said Doc. 'Not him.'

'Doc my – cyborg. We need a medic. Got a new mechanic, but the crew is growing and Bedlam and I are in demand a fair bit these days. Intergalactic Bounty Huntery is a growing business you know.'

'I could imagine, Lobo,' sighed Doc. 'You better pay me well enough. This is Stella.'

'Hey babe,' said Lobo. 'You look as weird as Doc.'

'Gee. Thanks,' she replied.

'Think nothing of it sweetheart. Come on Doc. Time is money.'

'Do I have a choice,' replied Doc, looking at Lobo through his robotic eyes.'

'Hardly,' replied the main man.

'See you around Stella,' said Doc.

They marched out of the tavern, and caught a ride to the spaceport.

'Vril Dox should have you arrested. Again,' said Doc. 'You are a public nuisance. That ship is parked right in the centre of the runway. Look, spaceport security everywhere.'

Lobo pushed away at the security personnel, but they pushed at him and told him to move his ship right then.

'I'm on it, I'm on it. Sheesh, give the main man a break. I'm employing one of your abominations. You should be grateful.'

On board Doc looked at the medic room Lobo had Trill prepare. 'It's not much,' said Doc. 'I'll fix it up as we go along.'

'You do that,' said Lobo.

Doc settled in, and Trill took him down to the hangar to meet Shlagen. 'Shlagen's new as well,' said Trill.

'He looks familiar,' said Doc.

And settling in with his new contract, Doc and Shlagen and Trill became friendly, as the Intergalactic Bounty Hunters team expanded once more with another new member.

The End


Tharok: The Time Divergence

'The Time Divergence device is ready professor Zabiel,' said Scientist Chen.

'Place it in the nuclear capsule,' replied Professor Zabiel.

Scientist Chen placed the time divergence unit into the nuclear powered capsule which would grant it the energy it needed to time travel. Suddenly there was an explosion, and a figure appeared in the lab. He knocked out Scientist Chen, and stole the Time Divergence Unit. Making his way from the facility, Zadron police soon had him cornered, and shot at him. But they misfired, and hit the Time Divergence Unit, triggering the small nuclear reactor. And Tharok, suddenly blown away half of his face and body, was sent hurtling back in time. People of Zadron found him, and they repaired him, and he thanked them, but could not remember much. 'I'm Tharok,' he would say to his doctors time and time again. 'I know,' they replied. Eventually he left Zadron, on a ship, and travelled to Aiello in the Vega System. He met a woman, at a bar. Stella.

'You look a lot like me,' she said to Tharok.

'I've got money,' he said. 'Zadron society gave me a starter pack for my new life. But I don't know who I am anymore. Just that my name is Tharok. I have this thing. It's in my head. It's a counter or something. It leads me on each day and makes me think weird things about time travel of all things. I have a job to do one day. Redemption, and it's getting me ready to deal with it.'

'You're weird, Tharok,' replied Stella. 'I know this guy. Doc. He drops around every few months when he's in town. He could look at you.'

Doc was in town in fact with the Intergalactic Bounty Hunters for a while, a new contract from Aiello gangsters, Lobo's typical stuff.

'Can you use a blaster?' Lobo asked Tharok, sitting in the medical unit with Doc and Stella who had come along for a new life.

'I can use one,' replied Tharok. 'I have things I must do. Lessons I must learn,' replied Tharok.

'No need to get deep and meaningful,' replied Lobo. 'A guys gotta do what he's gotta do.'

Tharok spent a number of years with the Intergalactic Bounty Hunters, and Stella was a good friend, understanding his condition. Ultimately he returned to Zadron and found the place he remembered, and he lay down that night and looked at the stars. Then he went quiet, and the time divergence device clicked over its final hour, sending him hurtling back to the future, just after the explosion, exactly the same way he left, but his memories all gone. And then they repaired him once more, and he was a cyborg again, and it almost seemed natural to Tharok of the Fatal Five.

The End


Skreemer, Skreemer & The Electrovamps

Skreemer and Skeemer (Keenan Cahill) are making plans. Skeemer is the brains for Skreemer, and with the help of the Electrovamps they plan on taking over the Gotham crime scene. They have the Big 4 in their sights, but Joker has assigned Punchline to take care of these pesky new would be usurpers to the crown. Skeemer is not stupid – he has studied Gotham's crime lords for years now analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. Taking out their enemies is Skreemer's main thought, but Skeemer feels that killing the enemy only leads to replacements who can prove just as problematic. Obviously they have to pull strings somehow to get the power in the struggle. But how? The core idea is dopplegangers and misinformation. A host of sightings of the big 4 in challenging situations – doing things the opposite of their carnal ways. Using his biotechnology degree, Skeemer arranges the Electrovamps to cozy up to the Big 4 one by one and carefully obtain DNA from each of them. Then, in their laboratory, Skeemer breeds up clones of the big 4 and with Growth Accellerator serum, grows them quickly and implants docility units into their brains. When they are grown and submissive to Skeemer, they are assigned tasks of good deeds around Gotham which are filmed and sent to enemies of the Big 4. Soon enough questions are being asked, and at Joker's main hangout nightclub, Skreemer and Skeemer and the Electrovamps confront the gathered gangland leaders, and claim the Big 4 have lost their way. 'The Batman has finally gotten to them,' says Skeemer. 'We'll do their job now,' says Skreemer. And they are anointed the new rulers of the Gotham Underworld. Withdrawing to their private hideout the Big 4 agree they have been duped and that they will need to do something about that. Punchline has the answer. Return the favour. Contacting Oracle, an arrangement is made to put Skreemer and his gang in situations were they appear to be doing good deeds. When this is done, another gathering takes place, and the Big 4 says 'Better the Devil's you know' as Skreemer is laughed off as the true patsy of the Bat.
