Chapter 109: Earth ??
-(Metropolis???)-
As the evening crowd walked the streets of the city, some headed home after a hard day's work, others just going about their business. A young blond boy looks up in wonder at the roof of a nearby building that sports a spinning globe with the words Daily Planet visible from so far below.
A fluttering catches the young child's eye. Falling from above the clouded sky were little pieces of paper. By luck, the first piece landed near him. He picked it up to see a picture of a bald man in the middle and a 100 on all four corners.
A man wearing a dark blue uniform sees the child pick the piece of paper up and reaches out for it. "Give me that brat." Seeing that it was a hundred-dollar bill the man smiles. "I must have dropped it. Now get on home before I run you to the orphanage."
Putting his hand suggestively on the baton hanging from his hip, he glares at the kid. Red letters spell out POLICE on the back of his blue uniform.
"But there is so much falling." The child points up.
By this time a crowd had gathered, and many looked up and started to cheer. The sky was littered with falling money and people were jumping to get as much as they could. The smart ones grabbed quickly and left. The not-so-smart ones were filling their hands as much as they could. Those ones fell prey to the stronger people who were waiting for others to pick it up for them.
Cars had stopped and a general riot broke out over the falling money. One man swinging his baton and stuffing all the money he could in his Police uniform.
As this was going on, a man stood atop a floating platform that was hidden from below by the clouds. A figure wearing a blue skintight outfit with a red U on a yellow background on his chest accented by a red cape gently blowing in the breeze, watched on as he dropped more money.
"By the time they realize all those notes are fake, the economy will be in ruins again." He dropped another million of these fake 100-dollar bills over the side and watched the wind scatter them across the city.
"And with Luthor locked up, I am almost bored." Ultraman turns to the green mechanical figure that was approaching him from behind. "What do you want Brainiac? Are you here to spoil my day?"
-(Ultraman and Brainiac Image)-
"Master, I regretfully must inform you that Lex Luthor has escaped his prison cell with the aid of The Jester."
"WHAT?" In frustration Ultraman hit Brainiac on the top of his head, destroying the mechanical body.
Two more Brainiac androids stepped out, one began to clean up the parts of its destroyed copy and the other to continue its report.
"J'edd J'arkus and Angelique are currently in pursuit. It also appears that the duo broke into the vault with the trigger device for Owlman's Quantum Eigenstate Device."
"Put out a Syndicate meeting notice, meet at The Vault NOW."
"Yes Master"
-(Gotham???)-
On top of the GCPD building. "We can't let him get away men, that info he downloaded could mean doom for all of us."
Three men rushed onto the rooftop, two in tactical police uniforms and the third in a trench coat carrying a bullhorn. "Yes, Commissioner!" the two men shouted.
The man in the trench coat held the bullhorn to his mouth, "I don't make deals with Boss Gordan, and the only deal I will offer you Owlman is to arrest you, put you on trial, and personally throw the switch at your execution. Show yourself! I know you're up here!"
The air cuts with the sound of thrown metal and the two policemen beside the commissioner fall to the ground with blades in their necks. "But you don't know where I am, do you, Old Man? You should have traded."
-(Owlman Image)-
The commissioner grabbed a radio that was in his pocket, "He's here! Hit The… llliguuuus!"
The figure dressed in black jumped towards the Commissioner with his half-moon blade swiping at him, just barely missing his neck but cutting the cheek open. Lights flooded the rooftop from the surrounding buildings and men started shooting at the now illuminated figure in a black and grey outfit, complete with a grey cape that looked like feathers.
Owlman jumped off the roof and down into the alleyway. He calmly threw a device into the dumpster he was falling towards. "Airbag."
On his command the device inflated just as Owlman hit it, breaking his fall. Three men carrying assault rifles charged the dumpster. When they approached Owlman spoke.
"I have Razorangs and Blood seekers. Smart guys run. Are you guys smart or dead?"
"You're Nailed MOTHFU…"
Three intense blasts of lightning fall from the sky and incinerate the men who were pointing guns at Owlman.
Looking up Owlman sees a stunningly beautiful, black-haired flying woman wearing what looks like a black one-piece swimsuit with gold accents, boots that come up to her mid-thigh, and gloves that cover up past her elbows. A black and gold collar with a medallion that has a red lightning bolt on it completes her outfit.
-(Superwoman Image)-
The woman reached out and grabbed Owlman by his armpits, "You took your time." He said as she lifted him out of the dumpster.
She just smiled and asked, "So, what was that all about?"
Replying in the same dead tone he had used all night. "Thirty cops still support Wayne in the GCPD. Who knows where he finds these bleeding-heart heroes, but they're all here on this disk. All their family's information and more is now in my hands. As soon as we deal with this Crime Syndicate Emergency Ultraman called, I am going to enjoy finding them all and playing with them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Superwoman flew to a nearby rooftop and started passionately kissing him. "Please let me watch. You come up with the best entertainment. I promise I will make it worth your wile." She reached down and started to caress his genitals through his suit.
"Later, let's answer the signal first."
-(The Vault)-
"Let's go, Jester. We can make it together."
A man with a pale face and wearing a hat with bells on it. "Get out of here Luthor, the glare from your stupid bald head is bugging me. I got a showstopper special for these two. Now get." He closed the pipe lid and waited for the two that had been chasing them.
A green 4-armed Martian wearing a blue cape burst through the wall and entered the room with the Jester. He was followed by a woman dressed all in white who had white wings on her back.
The woman stopped next to the green man, "Where is Luthor, Clown?"
-(Angelique & J'edd Image)-
"No. No. No. Pigeon wings. I am a Jester." He pointed to his hat. "See bells, Clowns have red noses, big shoes, and baggy clothes. I do wonderful balloon animals though; just give me a couple of minutes and I can make one for both of you."
Angelique unsheathed her flaming sword and stabbed Jester in the belly with it. "We don't have time for your games, where is it?" She slowly started twisting the long sword.
Jester screamed out in pain as he was burned and stabbed at the same time. "Wait, wait. That's exactly what I needed for my show." Jester pulled out a small device that looked like a grenade and set the wick alight with Angelique's blade.
Luthor was climbing up out of a sewer grate when he heard the explosion from the building behind him. "Damn it Jester, we were both supposed to go. You won't have died in vain, old friend." The thought that Jester took everyone within a hundred feet of him down when he went was little consolation for the loss of his best friend.
"Give it up Luthor, you got nowhere to go. There isn't a place on this planet you can hide from my Ultra vision!"
Ultraman, Superwoman, Owlman, Quick and Zeak were all staring at Luthor with smirks on their faces. "Now give me the QED trigger and walk back to your cell like a good middle-aged bald man."
Luthor pulled out what looked like a gun, "I think I can get somewhere you can't find me, but don't worry, I'll be back to finish what The Jester started."
Before anyone could do anything, Lex Luthor seemed to expand into 7 bodies and disappear from in front of the most powerful group on this world.
-(Hours Later)-
Five figures sat around a table with six chairs. Ultraman sat at the head of the table addressing the group.
"J'edd and Angelique didn't make it. The Jester used a low-yield nuclear device to take them out, along with everything else on the floor. And after his little disappearing act, Luthor is nowhere to be found."
Zeak, wearing his silver and red armor had his helmet on the table, "I picked up some trans-spatial readings with my girl Wednesday here."
-(Ezekiel (Zeak) Stain Image)-
"Readings indicate spatial warpage *ERROR* unknown prosses, not on file. Readings inconclusive."
Ultraman turned away from the helmet, "Luthor being out of our hair is a cause for celebration. However, the loss of the QED trigger breaks my heart. We spent billions making that energy source. Can you replicate it Owlman?"
"The materials used were a one in a trillion find. There is no telling if we can ever make another one. I told you it should have been left in my care."
Ultraman snorted, "You make the bomb and I hold the trigger, that was the bargain. Don't forget, you designed the cell for Luthor. It was supposed to be draining that armor of his so we could finally kill him. How the hell did he get out?"
Owlman's eyes narrowed, "That's a good question."
A man wearing a red and yellow outfit emblazed with two lightning bolts coming together spoke, "The explosion at the armory has people thinking we are on our back foot. I think we need to have another race to 10,000 dead each, to remind them to keep their heads down. I will even put up 5$ for the winner."
-(Johnny Quick Image)-
Superwoman, "That sounds like a fun thirty minute's Johnny. But you being willing to spend 5$ makes me think you have a plan to win already. What, you have 10,000 people fitted with bombs again?"
"Nothing of the sort love, I just feel like stretching me legs for a cause. You know, go on a walkabout."
Owlman stood up, "I am on the brink of finding the Justice League base, this is a waste of my time."
Ultraman also stood up, "It's business as usual for now, but be ready to gather again if I call."
