Enchantress took a step back, her emerald-green eyes narrowing as she felt an aura of power completely different from Tom's. Her wild dark magic was now confronted by a sacred power that was pure, orderly, and incredibly strong. For the first time that night, she felt a true threat.
"So you were hiding your true form, Mortal," Enchantress hissed, her voice now deeper and filled with ancient hatred. "No matter what mask you wear, you will still be crushed before me!"
She raised both hands, and the dark energy from the sarcophagus and the artifacts throughout the museum was siphoned towards her. The marble floor cracked, and the shadows in the corners of the room seemed to elongate and come to life. She unleashed a barrage of dark magic projectiles, each the size of a human head and crackling with necrotic energy, speeding towards Shazam Tom.
Shazam Tom just laughed, a laugh that echoed with the Power of Zeus. "Nice attack! But too slow!"
With the Speed of Mercury, he moved so fast he appeared as a red blur, effortlessly dodging every projectile. He then stopped, hovering a few feet above the floor, and extended his hand forward.
"My turn!" he shouted. Golden lightning leaped from his palm, not just one, but a dozen bolts that struck towards Enchantress.
Enchantress quickly created a shield of dense emerald magic. An explosion erupted as the lightning and dark magic collided, sending a shockwave that shook the entire museum. Billy and his NPC team were thrown back; only Granite managed to stand his ground with his "Bastion Formation" to protect the others.
Enchantress realized that raw power wouldn't be enough. She turned to deception. She cast an illusion spell, trying to attack Tom's mind. Instantly, the museum scenery vanished. Tom was now surrounded by figures from his previous adventures: Number Six, Yennefer, Fubuki, Tatsumaki, all looking at him with accusing and hateful glares.
"You only take and destroy, Anomaly," Enchantress's voice whispered in his mind. "You are alone. No one wants you."
However, Shazam Tom, now blessed with the Wisdom of Solomon, saw the illusion for what it was. "Oh, a little reunion!" he said cheerfully. "Sorry, ladies, I'm a bit busy right now. Maybe we can have tea together some other time." He snapped his fingers, and a small burst of Zeus's lightning shattered the illusion, returning them to the ruined museum.
Enchantress growled in frustration. Her mental attack had failed completely. She switched to her final tactic: summoning an army. The shadows in the room writhed and formed into creatures of darkness resembling wolves with glowing red eyes. Dozens of them lunged at Shazam Tom.
Billy and The Quirkies tried to help. Billy used "Brutal Surge" to punch one of the shadow creatures, which only resulted in him passing through it and crashing into a wall. Nova fired a "Kinetic Blast" that destroyed a few of them, but more emerged.
Shazam Tom just sighed. "Alright, playtime's over."
He flew into the midst of the shadow army. With the Strength of Hercules, every punch of his disintegrated the creatures into puffs of smoke. With the Stamina of Atlas, he showed no signs of fatigue at all. He moved with lightning speed, a red and gold storm in the middle of a sea of darkness.
Seeing her army so easily destroyed, Enchantress gathered her remaining strength for one final attack, a giant ball of dark energy that could destroy an entire city block.
"Die!" she shrieked.
Shazam Tom stopped. He watched the giant energy ball hurtling towards him. He didn't dodge. He didn't counter it with lightning. He simply flew to meet it.
Just before the ball hit him, he yelled, "SHAZAM!"
A second bolt of lightning struck, this time hitting the ball of dark energy. The resulting explosion was far larger than before, but strangely, contained. The divine lightning energy neutralized the dark magic, creating a blinding light show. When the light subsided, Tom was back in his normal human form, standing before a now exhausted and powerless Enchantress. He had used the energy from Enchantress's own attack, combined with his transformation lightning, to nullify the threat.
Enchantress collapsed to her knees, breathing heavily. She had given it her all and had been utterly defeated.
Tom walked up to her, his playful expression returning. "That was a fun fight," he said. "You're much more entertaining than those crab monsters." He crouched in front of Enchantress, who stared at him with a mixture of hatred and a hint of reluctant admiration.
He touched Enchantress's forehead.

Tom felt a new sensation, an understanding of magic different from the power of Shazam. It was cold, wild, and full of potential. He pulled his hand back, a satisfied smile on his face.
The destroyed museum was silent. Tom looked at Enchantress, still on her knees, her heavy breaths creating a thin mist in the cold air.
"Now," Tom said, his calm voice sounding more menacing than any shout. "Let's talk about the payment for all the chaos you've caused tonight."
"I have nothing for you, Anomaly," Enchantress hissed.
"Oh, I think you're mistaken," Tom replied, lifting his chin. "Behind all that," he touched Enchantress's chin gently, "there's a scared mortal woman, isn't there? June Moone?"
Instantly, Enchantress's emerald-green eyes flickered, and an expression of genuine fear from June surfaced for a moment. "Please... don't hurt me," she whispered, before the dark aura took over again.
Tom laughed softly. "There it is! A two-personality show. I love it! How about we see which side is more... fun?" He then turned to his team and snapped his fingers. A transparent wall of force-field appeared, isolating them.
Tom pulled Enchantress into his arms. "You missed this, didn't you?" Tom whispered as his tongue touched June's earlobe, "Missing someone who could make you... completely submit."
June moaned, her body moving on its own closer to Tom. Tom caught the reaction, his smile widening. "Look at you," he hissed as he bit her shoulder. "Even without your magic... you're still mine."
With a swift motion, Tom pushed June against the ruined wall, pinning her wrists above her head. He pressed his body against hers, feeling every curve of her trembling form. "I can feel it, June... your racing heart, your ragged breath... you want me as much as I want you."
He pressed his knee between her thighs, making her gasp. "But I'm not going to give you what you want... not yet." Tom pulled away, leaving a panting June behind. His smile was triumphant as he watched her reach for him, pleading without words.
He caught June again, this time pushing her down onto the cold floor amidst the rubble. His hands tore away the remnants of Enchantress's clothes, exposing pale skin that flushed under his touch.
"You can't run from me, June," he growled, biting the sorceress's neck, leaving a red mark. He pressed June's body deeper into the floor, his iron grip clamping both of her wrists and holding them above her head.
"You really can't lie with your body, darling," he hissed as his tongue traced her trembling navel. "Look how you welcome me... like a starving whore."
June turned her blushing face away, but Tom roughly forced her to look back at him. "Oh no, you're going to watch me as I break you," he growled. "You're going to see every second of how I turn this mighty sorceress into" With a brutal thrust, Tom filled June completely, making her scream. "into my plaything."
He roughly flipped June's body over, pressing her face into the dusty floor while his iron hands gripped her trembling hips. "I know you've never felt this," he whispered as his cold fingers traced the tightening cleft of her buttocks. "But don't worry... I'll loosen you up nicely."
June bit into the dust on the floor, her body arching as Tom spat into her tight hole before slowly pushing one finger inside. He added a second, making June scream. Tom pulled his fingers out with a painful motion, slapping June's reddened ass.
"You're truly pathetic, June," he growled as he lubricated his hard shaft with his own spit and June's fluids. "Look how you push your ass towards me, like a bitch in heat."
"I... I hate you...!" June sobbed.
Tom laughed darkly before thrusting in completely with a single, brutal motion. "Lying again," he hissed as he began to move his hips in a cruel rhythm. "You love every inch of this." He grabbed June's hair, pulling her head back. "The powerful sorceress who can now only shake her ass for me like a common slut."
He then reversed their positions, letting June be on top of him. "Come on, my sorceress," he hissed, slapping June's thigh. "Show me how desperate you are for this."
June, with teary eyes, slowly lowered herself onto Tom's still-hard shaft. But Tom was impatient—he gripped June's hips and pushed her down harshly.
"Damn it...! T-too deep...!"
"No, darling... you can go deeper."
Tom felt an explosive heat at the base of his groin, his grip on June's hair tightening as he pushed to the hilt. He pumped once, twice,then released everything with a deep stroke that made June convulse wildly.
"Drown in it, darling," he growled, his canines sinking into June's shoulder. "Feel how much you are mine."
June thrashed beneath him, her body trembling as Tom filled every inch of her with his hot fluid, his iron hands holding her weak body down.
When it was all over, Tom rose. He had gotten his payment.
Tom dismissed the force-field wall. "Alright, kids," he said to the bewildered-looking Billy & The Quirkies. "Class is over for tonight. Let's go home."
He didn't glance at June Moone again. He had gotten what he wanted: a victory, a new power for his collection, and priceless entertainment. He teleported away, followed by his NPC team, leaving June alone in the ruins of the museum, forever changed by her encounter with that laughing anomaly.
