We were all watching Darkseid slowly approach until Lantern spoke up, "I guess this is going to be our enemy," and Batman replied sarcastically, "Good job." Superman joined the conversation too, saying, "Hmm, he doesn't look very tough." I looked at Superman and said, "Don't judge a book by its cover, Superman. Darkseid can destroy us without much effort, which is why we have to work together." Superman now focused on me, nodded, and seemed to agree with what I said. "I'll trust you, Revan." Batman nodded as well, only Lantern looked like he wanted to say, Cooperation? That's not for me, but at least he stayed quiet and reasonable.
From a distance, I saw three fighter jets rapidly approaching Darkseid and his army of Parademons. I muttered, "Frickin' idiots," but still ripped a piece of the building with the Force and jumped onto it. Everyone looked at me, but I told them to wait, and then suddenly I heard the system sound for the second time in the last 24 hours.
{New Side Mission}
{Description:}Save the three people in fighter jets from Darkseid
{Reward:} Lightsaber, Nihilous's Life Drain
{Penalty:} Title "The Aftercomer" – This title makes you always arrive after the disaster
Yes/No
I clicked yes. Nihilus was just too OP; maybe his ability could even give Darkseid trouble. Hmmmm, we'll see. Now I had to save those three idiots. The fighter jets were closing in fast on Darkseid and his army. All of them fired their missiles at Darkseid, and guess what those missiles did to him? Not a thing, they didn't even damage his armor.
I flew quickly toward the jets and from the front row, I saw Darkseid's eyes glow red, and then those cursed Omega Beams came out. They moved incredibly fast. I almost didn't make it, but with my skill, I barely managed to pull all three pilots out of their jets before Darkseid could get a triple kill. In the next instant, all three jets exploded one by one.
I didn't waste time and threw the three toward Superman. He caught them and then handed them to Flash, who took them to safety. Darkseid turned toward me with mild interest, but in the next second, he fired his Omega Beams at me. I didn't even turn and flew full speed away.
"Jarvis, what are the chances I survive Omega Beams without major injury?"
"The chances of avoiding serious injury are very low, sir. Less than 5%."
"Jarvis, is there anything I can do to block them? Anything from Star Wars or whatever comes to mind?"
Jarvis was silent for a moment as I kept accelerating. I flew around buildings, but the Omega Beams kept tracking me, even though I made sharp turns. Slowly but surely, they were catching up.
"Sir, if you use Force Barrier, it might be able to stop the Omega Beams."
Damn… I hadn't learned Force Barrier yet. I facepalmed in my head. I had no time. The Omega Beams were closing in, and there was nowhere left to fly. In front of me was open sea, and if I tried to go another direction, I was sure the Omega Beams would hit me immediately.
I had to try. I wasn't going to die to Omega Beams. I'm the frickin' Chosen One!
I turned toward the Omega Beams coming at me and started imagining a barrier forming in front of me.
The Omega Beams kept coming until they were just a few inches away.
"Bshummmmmummmmm"
Water exploded in all directions, and I, like Icarus, fell from the sky and was swallowed by the sea.
Meanwhile, with the rest of the team:
Darkseid slowly approached them, along with his army of Parademons, and began speaking A.K.A. aura farming:
"I am Entropy."
"I am Death."
"I… am Darkseid."
Everyone waited to see what would happen next, but Lantern? No, he decided to act and get himself beaten. He flew forward and said to the rest of the team, "Fall back and watch the light show. Green Lantern's got this." Then that idiot took off, using his ring to form a giant spiked glove around his hand and went to punch frickin' Darkseid. Well, everyone has to admit, that idiot had balls. Green Lantern hit Darkseid in the face with his glove, but it shattered the instant it touched him, and the hit didn't even faze Darkseid.
Darkseid immediately struck back and sent Lantern flying. Lantern slammed into a building, then crashed to the ground, and a swarm of Parademons pounced on him, beating him while he lay there, dazed.
(Well, that's what you get for trying to aura farm when you're weak. Lantern's in aura debt for life for this.)
Lantern was being jumped, but Flash decided to save him, taking down the Parademons that were on him. The very next moment, Darkseid's army of Parademons surged forward toward the heroes, and everyone started fighting.
Lantern, who probably had brain damage by now, slowly got up and said, "That's all you got? I've got more." Lantern transformed into a massive green train, but the moment the train touched Darkseid, it shattered, and Lantern was sent flying until he crashed to the ground.
Darkseid was about to fire his Omega Beams and end Lantern's life for good, but Superman flew in, hitting Darkseid three times. Before Superman could land more blows, Darkseid grabbed him by the cape and slammed him into the ground.
Lantern got up again and said, "I'm not done yet." He took off once more, creating a massive hammer, but just like before, the moment the hammer touched Darkseid, it broke apart. Darkseid grabbed Lantern by the arm and snapped it. Then he activated his Omega Beams, tossing Lantern high into the air, expecting to see nothing but Lantern's lifeless body fall from the sky. But no.
He watched as Green Lantern was caught midair by an unknown force and gently placed on a rooftop. When Darkseid looked up at the roof, he saw a man he thought had been killed by his Omega Beams. Aaron stood there, and beside him, Lantern hovered in the air, held up by the Force.
Aaron stared at the incoming Omega Beams and smirked. He raised his hand in front of him, and just as the beams were about to hit Lantern, a barrier appeared between them and Lantern. The Omega Beams slammed into the barrier, but it didn't budge. After a moment, the beams faded away.
All eyes were on Aaron.
Aaron stared straight at Darkseid and spoke, "Who gave you permission to hurt my friends, you ugly bastard?"
