The Great War Part 7 prologue
On the road to Warsaw Early 1941
Colonel Mikhail Semyonovich Filitov commander of the land battleships Moscow smiled as the German tiger died under there secondary guns. The Fastise had ben part of the panzer army that had finally made there stand before Warsaw after months of sending unfortunate creatures and enslaved populaces at the treads of the Eastern army the fitz had finally tried to fight like men, and they had brought their heavy Maus and Ratte tanks had formed a battleline on the plains of Poland and they had held for 12 long hours but the Germans had made a mistake they had put there puny tanks were he could get at them.
"Ignofe train the main guns at 20 degrees target tank the one with the two guns, load penetrators."
" Yes Comrade Colonel ."
The massive land ship shuttered as its 16 inch gun mounts moved into position
"Fire Comrades fire for Russia"
Outside Warsaw 1941
The German war machine was massive, the size of a small building with massive guns and skeletons hanging off of it, which did not save it when Moscow's guns hit it right on its guns turret. The noise from the land ships guns were almost enough distract from the pain, which was impressive considering he was sans an arm. Natasha was tying off his stump and berating him in Russian for jumping on the grenade. He would have been more worried about the approaching Nazi forcers if one of the children they had rescued wasn't somehow using his mind to operate about 20 different guns that were hovering in the air, he would have questions about that, but the pain was really distracting right now to bad the project had never developed those pain relivers that worked on super soldiers…
Bucky Barns and Natasha Rushman evacuated to the rear with injuries during the liberation of Warsaw, also evacuated several children rescued from a train bound for inner Germany. Warsaw is retakin by allied forcers at great cost after the Nazis field there new superranks. German regular forcers fall back towards the fortifications on the German border.
Of not after the war among the young families buying houses in suburban New York was the young family of James and Natalie Smith and their young son Eric.
With the medical retirement of both along with the deaths of Madeline Joyce, William Burnside, and John Steel the super soldiers find themselves shorthanded as their ultimate mission reaches its climax.
The Being known as Adam watched as the battle on the plains began to reach its climax, the Germans last two siege tanks were spilling flame and smoke as the Russian landships moved to bracket the Germans and the last of the frost giants were bleeding out on the field the Athima watched and waited.
As he watched the battle he saw reflections of the future and the past, images of battles that dwarf this one, images of a young man on a mountain top in the Middle East raging at his creator for the burden placed on him as his brother's blood cooled in the sand, he saw a great ship with a three headed dragon on its ensign, ( he was really going to need to check out that moon at some point). He saw glories and horrors untold and he waited with the raven on his solider as the path to berlin was open with blood and fire and waited for the true battle to begin.

To the gates of Hell
Airship USS Vengeance outskirts of Berlin
Captain Von Trap formerly of the Austrian Navy Had not really expected to see his homeland again when he and his family had fled after the Mad Corporal's little coup had plunged Austria into darkness along with the rest of the Empire, yet here he was in the uniform of his new nation as his airship pounded the hellscape that Berlin had become. It physically hurt to look at the shambling mounds and the flying what was it the ground pounders called them o yes Para demons yes were thick in the air yet he could not take his eyes of the drama unfolding on top of the nearest of the blasphemous dark towers that reigned the remains of the city.
The All Star squadron was locked in a death struggle with the Red Skull and some towering monster with wings, an axe and a truly objectionable amount of spikes. As the Nazi swung some short of spear at his nemesis Von Trap turned towards his guest
" Why do you not help them Doctor?"
" I cannot until the time is right and the ward is broken I cannot aha there it is "
As the captain turned back to the drama as he saw Captain America catch his mighty shield and the Skull looking in horror at two pieces of his spear came apart.
As energy hummed through the air the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth rose disturbing the ravens that had rested on his helmet.
"Trust in Fate Captain now I have work to do. Look up in the sky."
Then he disappeared with a theatrical booming shout
"Its time my Friends come forth….
And then he saw the blur moments before his lookout did
"Its some sort of Bird"
"No It's a plane."
"no Its….
Isaac Bradly really hated this Steppenwolf guy really a personal dislike that had very little to do with the punch he had just taken to the kidney really nothing to do with that.
As he used his shield to force himself to his feet, he felt a rush of air and heard a deep booming voice that caused no small amount of relief. As the famous S shield floated just outside Superman smirked and in a Midwestern drawl " General Steppenwolf care to step outside?"
The Fall of Berlin as we make our way to heaven
Justice
Jay Garrick ran through the streets of berlin in pursuit of his nemesis a German who for some reason only now to hydras squid god rejoiced in the codename the Wizer was trying to run away as he always did but this time, he did not have the wards to run to. In fact, the entire German city was falling to pieces from the bombardment from the airship fleet not to mention the oversized gorilla and attack bears the Russians had brought, adding to the madness were Jay's team he saw Clark punching Steppenwolf through on of the blasphemous temples the German's had erected to the various so call "gods" they had been communing with. He had passed Diana killing some sort of giant using a destroyed tank as a mace, he had seen the batwing overhead ( were the Bat had gotten his own fringing jet plane after 3 decades of rationing he did not know) He saw Allan generate a green dragon to eat some of the hoard of what he thought were demons, and there were others he had witnessed the human torch and some short of flaming ghost on a horse charging the mad corporals palace come bunker even the crimson avenger had come to the party with that gun of his. As he passed some power armored troops form Patton's third army, he saw the Wizer stop to catch his breath and then he was on him. When he was done, he was holding the Germans head.
All Star
Steve Rogers thought head hurt, probably from all the punches but as the fumes from where Hitler was being burned alive by the Human Torch, Ghost Rider and Blazkowicz ( and were BJ had gotten that flame thrower after he had beheaded that big deadhead trooper he did not know) and even without the fistfight listing to Red Skulls bombastic pronouncements about his dark god were really getting on his nerves but every step closer to that pulsing gate with the objecting every super soldier carried he got closer to fulfilling his mission he was almost there just a few more inches though it doesn't look like he would het to marry Bernie after all…
" I see a future with no flags all will bow before.. what are you doing you simpleton?"
" just Killing your squid god ."
And with that he threw Isaac Newtons ward stone in to the portal and bright light engulfed them both.
Steve Rogers woke up in a field next a man fishing witch as a good catholic boy was not expecting to be when he died..
"Your not dead young man not yet anyway you're hear to make a choice you can either enter paradise and a well earned rest or you can take on a task that will save many lives,"
It only took a second for Steve Rogers to make his choice
As he straightened his back Captain America asked the angel "Where do you need me sir"…
Meanwhile in Berlin
The being Known to some as Adam felt the world begin to right itself as portals began to close and demons began to disappear ( all except a young looking red one) leaving one portal open the one that lead to his greatest fear his dark reflection…
Berlin
" I am the superior man, I am the avatar of the master race I am…
Steppenwolf thankfully had his diatribe interrupted by Clarks first much to Bruce Wayne's relief and though seeing the German so called superman thrown trough one of the few remaining intact buildings in the city but the distraction gave him an opining to get close to the last portal in operation the one that gave off what felt like pure oppression and menace. He saw a golden armored figure dulling some sort of shapeshifting demon while Doctor Fate seamed be holding back what ever was trying to come through.
Apparently, he had arrived just in time for more evil speeches great
" Do you really think Antitham you can stop what's coming, you could barely hold back my four children do you really think you can fight me and the your kinds greatest failure soon humanity will have to chose between chaos and order between destruction and slavery what will you chose Kain and what will you chose Dark Knight and even as the creature fended of the flaming sword that the golden figure was trying to bisect it with its head turned toward him and for a moment it took on the features of a clown he was all to familiar with. It was then when Doctor Fates was sent flying back by a wave of pure power and a cloaked figure stepped through the portal.
" Prostrate your self's worms for mighty Darkside come to claim this world and I Desaad come as his herald chose your doom death at hands of chaos or an eternity of slavery at the hands of Darkside now humans chose."
Before the Batman could respond the golden figure made humanities reply quite clear.
" We chose Neither, we will survive and we will be free we will chart our own destiny."
" With what help do you think you pathic mud people could call upon?'
"This" And with that a rainbow stuck the ground and deposited a bearded man in strange armor wielding a spear and accompanied by to two gigantic wolfs"
For a moment Desaad gaped in shock and then he laughed.
" What is your name pretender do you really expect me to believe that high father would dirty himself on this pathetic mud... Why is he missing an eye?"
"I told you I would tell you my names. This is what they call me. I am called Glad-of-War, Grim, Raider, Santa Claus and Third. I am One-Eyed. I am called Highest, and True-Guesser. I am Grimnir, Crom, and Semkirk, I am the Hooded One. I am All-Father, and I am Gondlir Wand-Bearer. I have as many names as there are winds, as many titles as there are ways to die. My ravens are Huginn and Muninn, Thought and Memory; my wolves are Freki and Geri; my horse is the gallows. My reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph
I am Odin and depraved one I am your doom"
And with that Odin All father went forth to war…
The Nazi superman was really not leaving up to his name seeing as the real Superman was currently using him as a punching bag, but he was confident that he would rally and show this pretender who was the true superior man was as sone as he could regain the use of his limbs. At least that was the plan before the man of steel threw him threw the portal and into hell …
Darkside ruler of Apocalypse and the true lord of order was preparing to lead his army to this earth an bring it to heal when his herald and some cultist were thrown back into throne room and through the portal he saw what must be a kryptonian and more importantly he saw a face he had not seen in eons.
" Do you really think that old avatar can stop me crow reader? "
And then to his shock the old God stepped through the portal and for the first time in an age an old one walked the surface of his realm.
" This avatar has enough left in it to deny you this world and I say Nay."
Berlin
As pure force pored out of the portal as the All father went to war against the god of tyranny another drama played out in the city of berlin as the former Morningstar of the host tried to salvage something from the wreck even the feast of souls he had gathered over the past few years could be turned to ashes in his mouth as he saw the creators minions both the knights and the traitor Franks and that ungrateful wretch Slade were plowing through his minions at an alarming rate not to mention disorder dueling with the brother of Adam that should have been his damnation and this body was almost completely burned out from all the power he had to poor through it, really it was time to leave while the leaving was good at least this little venture had gone better than that thing in Georgia still maybe he could just take Fate and leave these humans to Darkside just needed a moment to gather power then he could escape back to his domain almost there
"Going somewhere brother?"
That was a voice he had not heard since the war so long ago
"I know I cant kill you but don't think you can escape the judgment entirely."
And as the Spector reached out Mephesto lord of Hell began to scream.
The Batman had know way to comprehend what he was seeing as gods battled at the threshold to the world he had never felt so helpless not even that night in the ally. What could a man do.
"Batman the Stone I need the stone." Doctor Fate was advancing on the portal his helmet cracking "the stone the stone is the only way to close the portal." He was pointing to some sort of pouch that fate had dropped he just needed to…
And Bruce Wayne of Gotham took the reality stone and threw it into the portal.
Apocalypse
"You can not win Old man not here in my domain and not in that tired avatar raven lord." The fact that the fallen lord of order was making his pronouncement even as he was skewered by Gungnir.
" I knew my fate the moment I sallied forth traitor I look forward to my place in Valhalla and I did not need to defeat you in this realm just hold you here." And then the All father raised is hand and caught the reality stone that had sailed threw the portal.
" The way is shut Darkside, and you shall not pass."
And then the world went white.
Berlin
The Poral closed with a unholy wailing and where the dark gate had been was an empty smoking set of Alien armor, and the Batman looked at it and began to plan…
The North 1978
Steve Rogers woke up which was surprising given that last he remembered he was in purgatory and before that in Berlin now he was in some sort of crystal room.
"Good its about time you got here."
Standing there was to men he had seen less than hour ago Superman looked almost unchanged though his uniform looked more streamline but it was Isaac Bradly who looked like he had aged 20 years.
" come on Irish boy the council is waiting."
German Italian Border
The Major really was starting to be glad that he had been separated Kruger otherwise he would have been in the way of that plow car that the American had used to pin the superior man to the remains of the villa thy had appropriated on there trip south. How had the brute managed to drive the thing while wearing one of the Allies armored suits but now, he was beating the impaled super Nazi while yelling in polish? Didn't matter while the brutes fought each other he could escape and bring the blood samples to Anu and Green the kryptoinan blood itself should buy him back into the fold, and then he could start his plan to destroy the vampire lord, and now to make his escape now that the American was using some sort chainsaw to remove Kruger limbs one by one.
Saint Petersburg Palace of the people ( Formally Royal Residence) February 1942
Vice President Lex Luthor supposed that the state of the palace was representative of the state of the human held world only standing because of great efforts and a little divine intervention. He had stepped out during Superman's speech, having heard Clark practice it a dozen times and not actually having a vote in this council though given that All was not going to run for reelection after the war he supposed that that would change soon enough. Really this whole conference was preordained with most of the back room dealing and pre vote politics taken care via the new Stark Wayne video conference system that had been installed in all Allied government headquarters, but there were some decisions that needed to be made in person for history's sake and it gave him an opportunity to do a little planning of his own, with some key men.
" Bruce its good see you out of the Windy City but I am surprised you were will to leave it unmonitored." And given that the clown was awaiting execution in a federal stockade, again maybe the bat was confident that the city could avoid falling to chaos for a few weeks. " My son and fiancé have the Wayne interested well taken care of Lex."
" Still can't believe you of all people are getting married Bruce I would have figured you for a life long bachelor." And there was Howard.
" We don't have much time Howard are the devices and the good doctor ready?"
" Yes my boys have produced over a hundred of the trinity devices and the Doctor is ready to do his part though I do worry about his state of mind."
" Good with them we will be able to shorten this war by 5 years and save millions of lives."
" At the cost of a lot of damage Lex and we cant maintain order for ever outside the major population centers its becoming the wild west murders are up by 60 percent over the past 2 years and some of the gangs are starting to be a real problem this war needs to end Lex we need to star rebuilding while we have something to rebuild."
"If the enemy doesn't take Kal's offer then they will leave us no choice Bruce to fight this war to the end we can not let any human land or peoples fall under the sway of a foreign power not again. That's why you studying that suit you found in Berlin is it you don't need something like that to fight gangs."
" You know project HellBat is a long term effort Lex it wont be finished for decades most likely but yes the next time a so called god wants to come to my planet I want to be able to fight them without having to rely on outside help. "
The Conversation was interrupted by a door opening and aid handing Howard a note.
"Well?"
"It was unanimous the bombs will be transported to their staging grounds and if we do not receive the enemies unconditional surrender in two weeks phase 1 begins, God have mercy on our souls."
The Yalu River
Sargent Michal O'Neil sr.
"Gogol get you helmet on we are less than 5 till detonation unless you want a face full of radiation you put that bucket on your head right now you Russian drumfunk." The multinational reconnaissance force had spent the last week carefully crossing the lines that race had maintained for the last half decade a task made much more difficult while wearing the power armor that would protect them from the radiation that Dr Stark had taken great pains to explain to the largely uneducated group of hardened survivors of the long war.
" Sarge flash warning" That was Pierce his radio man and that was the signals they had waited for.
"Everyone down button up!"
He had just gotten his suit sealed when a shockwave forced him to his knees. After a 5 second count that felt like an eternity he stood saw the blue shapes he had come to observe up and keyed his internal radio.
" Papa Mike to Barn I count 8 repeat 8 blue mushroom clouds repeat we have 8 trinity detonations. Phase 1 successful roll the armor…
Somewhere deep in the Pacific Ocean
The King had slept for a long time in his temple ages in the reckoning of man but the as a hint of radiation reached him the King of the Monsters opened his Eyes.
Outside the ruins of Peking Race occupied China
Fleetlord Atvar
To call it a command center would be an insult to command centers the galaxy but after he a narrow escaped from his last 3 command centers before the Emperor dammed humans had either dropped decent sized fusion devices on them or they had been attacked by the human with the rings that he refused to call magical who had s habit of impaling his deputies alive.
" We never should have come to the emperor damned planet! " The commander of the remaining race forces said to himself as he saw more mushroom clouds began to rise in the distance. That meant that the main line of land cruisers had just suffered the fate of most of his forcers at least the survivors would be able to surrender to the advancing human armies they may still accept surrenders the local partisans would not and were taking almost a decade of anger at their alien occupiers in increasing brutal ways.
If he could he would surrender but if he did he would doom not only his forcers but the colonists to follow but he did not delude himself to think he could not with the initial invasion force down to about 15 percent he could not win but ….
And that's is when a blue bald human walked through his wall and announced " Come with me if you want to live."
From The Daily Globe November 11th 1942
Dateline Hong Kong
Clark and Lois Lane Kent
" On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month 1942 the great war has come to an end …"
Statement from Allied Command
Newly sworn in President Lex Luthor Joined other Allied leaders in accepting the final surrender of Fleet lord Atvar and Herdmaster Pastempeh-keph at 11 am bring the great war to and end after nearly 28 years of brutal fighting that has left nearly 140 million dead and almost every government on the planet in tatters. Thanks to the effort of the Superman the surviving race soldiers will be placed in frozen suspended animation and returned to there emperor in exchange for the forfeit of all there Alien technology and weapons the few remaining Fithp soldiers on the other hand have thrown themselves on the mercy of the African Union….

Lex Luthor had never wanted to be President he was a scientist at heart not a politician the only reason he had let Al out him on the ticket was the fact that he had needed a scientific mind to help run the war effort but ow Al was dead probably of exhaustion and he was left to rebuild a shattered world so he really resented having his morning coffee and paper interrupted by a bald young man in a wheelchair suddenly appearing in his cabin especially when his wife was sleeping in the attached cabin.
"You have 2 seconds to explain how you got in hear before I have the nice Marine on the other side of this door come in and shoot you young man."
He smiled
" My apologies Mr. President but I needed a moment of your time and I sincerely doubt that young man who is currently day dreaming about his mother apple pie could do anything to hurt me but I came hear with no ill intent in fact I have a proposition that will interest you. My name is Charles Xavier and what do you know about genetic mutation?"

Apparently, he had arrived just in time for more evil speeches great
" Do you really think Antitham you can stop what's coming, you could barely hold back my four children do you really think you can fight me and the your kinds greatest failure soon humanity will have to chose between chaos and order between destruction and slavery what will you chose Kain and what will you chose Dark Knight and even as the creature fended of the flaming sword that the golden figure was trying to bisect it with its head turned toward him and for a moment it took on the features of a clown he was all to familiar with. It was then when Doctor Fates was sent flying back by a wave of pure power and a cloaked figure stepped through the portal.
" Prostrate your self's worms for mighty Darkside come to claim this world and I Desaad come as his herald chose your doom death at hands of chaos or an eternity of slavery at the hands of Darkside now humans chose."
Before the Batman could respond the golden figure made humanities reply quite clear.
" We chose Neither, we will survive and we will be free we will chart our own destiny."
" With what help do you think you pathic mud people could call upon?'
"This" And with that a rainbow stuck the ground and deposited a bearded man in strange armor wielding a spear and accompanied by to two gigantic wolfs"
For a moment Desaad gaped in shock and then he laughed.
" What is your name pretender do you really expect me to believe that high father would dirty himself on this pathetic mud... Why is he missing an eye?"
"I told you I would tell you my names. This is what they call me. I am called Glad-of-War, Grim, Raider, Santa Claus and Third. I am One-Eyed. I am called Highest, and True-Guesser. I am Grimnir, Crom, and Semkirk, I am the Hooded One. I am All-Father, and I am Gondlir Wand-Bearer. I have as many names as there are winds, as many titles as there are ways to die. My ravens are Huginn and Muninn, Thought and Memory; my wolves are Freki and Geri; my horse is the gallows. My reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph
I am Odin and depraved one I am your doom"
And with that Odin All father went forth to war…
The Nazi superman was really not leaving up to his name seeing as the real Superman was currently using him as a punching bag, but he was confident that he would rally and show this pretender who was the true superior man was as sone as he could regain the use of his limbs. At least that was the plan before the man of steel threw him threw the portal and into hell …
Darkside ruler of Apocalypse and the true lord of order was preparing to lead his army to this earth an bring it to heal when his herald and some cultist were thrown back into throne room and through the portal he saw what must be a kryptonian and more importantly he saw a face he had not seen in eons.
" Do you really think that old avatar can stop me crow reader? "
And then to his shock the old God stepped through the portal and for the first time in an age an old one walked the surface of his realm.
" This avatar has enough left in it to deny you this world and I say Nay."
Berlin
As pure force pored out of the portal as the All father went to war against the god of tyranny another drama played out in the city of berlin as the former Morningstar of the host tried to salvage something from the wreck even the feast of souls he had gathered over the past few years could be turned to ashes in his mouth as he saw the creators minions both the knights and the traitor Franks and that ungrateful wretch Slade were plowing through his minions at an alarming rate not to mention disorder dueling with the brother of Adam that should have been his damnation and this body was almost completely burned out from all the power he had to poor through it, really it was time to leave while the leaving was good at least this little venture had gone better than that thing in Georgia still maybe he could just take Fate and leave these humans to Darkside just needed a moment to gather power then he could escape back to his domain almost there
"Going somewhere brother?"
That was a voice he had not heard since the war so long ago
"I know I cant kill you but don't think you can escape the judgment entirely."
And as the Spector reached out Mephesto lord of Hell began to scream.
The Batman had know way to comprehend what he was seeing as gods battled at the threshold to the world he had never felt so helpless not even that night in the ally. What could a man do.
"Batman the Stone I need the stone." Doctor Fate was advancing on the portal his helmet cracking "the stone the stone is the only way to close the portal." He was pointing to some sort of pouch that fate had dropped he just needed to…
And Bruce Wayne of Gotham took the reality stone and threw it into the portal.
Apocalypse
"You can not win Old man not here in my domain and not in that tired avatar raven lord." The fact that the fallen lord of order was making his pronouncement even as he was skewered by Gungnir.
" I knew my fate the moment I sallied forth traitor I look forward to my place in Valhalla and I did not need to defeat you in this realm just hold you here." And then the All father raised is hand and caught the reality stone that had sailed threw the portal.
" The way is shut Darkside, and you shall not pass."
And then the world went white.
Berlin
The Poral closed with a unholy wailing and where the dark gate had been was an empty smoking set of Alien armor, and the Batman looked at it and began to plan…
The North 1978
Steve Rogers woke up which was surprising given that last he remembered he was in purgatory and before that in Berlin now he was in some sort of crystal room.
"Good its about time you got here."
Standing there was to men he had seen less than hour ago Superman looked almost unchanged though his uniform looked more streamline but it was Isaac Bradly who looked like he had aged 20 years.
" come on Irish boy the council is waiting."
German Italian Border
The Major really was starting to be glad that he had been separated Kruger otherwise he would have been in the way of that plow car that the American had used to pin the superior man to the remains of the villa thy had appropriated on there trip south. How had the brute managed to drive the thing while wearing one of the Allies armored suits but now, he was beating the impaled super Nazi while yelling in polish? Didn't matter while the brutes fought each other he could escape and bring the blood samples to Anu and Green the kryptoinan blood itself should buy him back into the fold, and then he could start his plan to destroy the vampire lord, and now to make his escape now that the American was using some sort chainsaw to remove Kruger limbs one by one.
Saint Petersburg Palace of the people ( Formally Royal Residence) February 1942
Vice President Lex Luthor supposed that the state of the palace was representative of the state of the human held world only standing because of great efforts and a little divine intervention. He had stepped out during Superman's speech, having heard Clark practice it a dozen times and not actually having a vote in this council though given that All was not going to run for reelection after the war he supposed that that would change soon enough. Really this whole conference was preordained with most of the back room dealing and pre vote politics taken care via the new Stark Wayne video conference system that had been installed in all Allied government headquarters, but there were some decisions that needed to be made in person for history's sake and it gave him an opportunity to do a little planning of his own, with some key men.
" Bruce its good see you out of the Windy City but I am surprised you were will to leave it unmonitored." And given that the clown was awaiting execution in a federal stockade, again maybe the bat was confident that the city could avoid falling to chaos for a few weeks. " My son and fiancé have the Wayne interested well taken care of Lex."
" Still can't believe you of all people are getting married Bruce I would have figured you for a life long bachelor." And there was Howard.
" We don't have much time Howard are the devices and the good doctor ready?"
" Yes my boys have produced over a hundred of the trinity devices and the Doctor is ready to do his part though I do worry about his state of mind."
" Good with them we will be able to shorten this war by 5 years and save millions of lives."
" At the cost of a lot of damage Lex and we cant maintain order for ever outside the major population centers its becoming the wild west murders are up by 60 percent over the past 2 years and some of the gangs are starting to be a real problem this war needs to end Lex we need to star rebuilding while we have something to rebuild."
"If the enemy doesn't take Kal's offer then they will leave us no choice Bruce to fight this war to the end we can not let any human land or peoples fall under the sway of a foreign power not again. That's why you studying that suit you found in Berlin is it you don't need something like that to fight gangs."
" You know project HellBat is a long term effort Lex it wont be finished for decades most likely but yes the next time a so called god wants to come to my planet I want to be able to fight them without having to rely on outside help. "
The Conversation was interrupted by a door opening and aid handing Howard a note.
"Well?"
"It was unanimous the bombs will be transported to their staging grounds and if we do not receive the enemies unconditional surrender in two weeks phase 1 begins, God have mercy on our souls."
The Yalu River
Sargent Michal O'Neil sr.
"Gogol get you helmet on we are less than 5 till detonation unless you want a face full of radiation you put that bucket on your head right now you Russian drumfunk." The multinational reconnaissance force had spent the last week carefully crossing the lines that race had maintained for the last half decade a task made much more difficult while wearing the power armor that would protect them from the radiation that Dr Stark had taken great pains to explain to the largely uneducated group of hardened survivors of the long war.
" Sarge flash warning" That was Pierce his radio man and that was the signals they had waited for.
"Everyone down button up!"
He had just gotten his suit sealed when a shockwave forced him to his knees. After a 5 second count that felt like an eternity he stood saw the blue shapes he had come to observe up and keyed his internal radio.
" Papa Mike to Barn I count 8 repeat 8 blue mushroom clouds repeat we have 8 trinity detonations. Phase 1 successful roll the armor…
Somewhere deep in the Pacific Ocean
The King had slept for a long time in his temple ages in the reckoning of man but the as a hint of radiation reached him the King of the Monsters opened his Eyes.
Outside the ruins of Peking Race occupied China
Fleetlord Atvar
To call it a command center would be an insult to command centers the galaxy but after he a narrow escaped from his last 3 command centers before the Emperor dammed humans had either dropped decent sized fusion devices on them or they had been attacked by the human with the rings that he refused to call magical who had s habit of impaling his deputies alive.
" We never should have come to the emperor damned planet! " The commander of the remaining race forces said to himself as he saw more mushroom clouds began to rise in the distance. That meant that the main line of land cruisers had just suffered the fate of most of his forcers at least the survivors would be able to surrender to the advancing human armies they may still accept surrenders the local partisans would not and were taking almost a decade of anger at their alien occupiers in increasing brutal ways.
If he could he would surrender but if he did he would doom not only his forcers but the colonists to follow but he did not delude himself to think he could not with the initial invasion force down to about 15 percent he could not win but ….
And that's is when a blue bald human walked through his wall and announced " Come with me if you want to live."

Lex Luthor had never wanted to be President he was a scientist at heart not a politician the only reason he had let Al out him on the ticket was the fact that he had needed a scientific mind to help run the war effort but ow Al was dead probably of exhaustion and he was left to rebuild a shattered world so he really resented having his morning coffee and paper interrupted by a bald young man in a wheelchair suddenly appearing in his cabin especially when his wife was sleeping in the attached cabin.
"You have 2 seconds to explain how you got in hear before I have the nice Marine on the other side of this door come in and shoot you young man."
He smiled
" My apologies Mr. President but I needed a moment of your time and I sincerely doubt that young man who is currently day dreaming about his mother apple pie could do anything to hurt me but I came hear with no ill intent in fact I have a proposition that will interest you. My name is Charles Xavier and what do you know about genetic mutation?"
