"Perhaps, I'll just wait here then while you get the Kryptonite." He said and watched as Nicolas left. This couldn't be going better, but he still needed to learned at least how the ring worked. "Now, little contraption. How do you work?" He said. Never having used a Lantern ring, Loki was actually rather stumped. "I've seen the mortal man use this to fight! He creates thing... Oh." The answer was obvious when he saw a construct from the ring of Kilian. "A weapon that creates the thoughts of the user. How imaginative." He says and the construct fades and not too long after he saw Nicolas return. "This is the Krpytonite? My friend, I promise you the heroes will be none the wiser about your escapades. Thank you for your time." He says offering to shake Nicolas' hand as was the human custom.

God Lee listened intently as Augustus, getting a good look at the man's face behind the gasmask. "That seems rather inconvenient." He said, "Perhaps we can develop a serum or something to let you breath in the smog and smoke, so that way your lungs can be saved. A pesky drawback, not that we don't have them." He finished, turning his head forward and staring straight ahead.

The journey was quick, extremely fast, as the use of a hyperdrive allowed the team to bypass actual space-travel. All in all, the trip was roughly 20 minutes or so long. It ended with a sudden shake, and an announcement over the intercom. "Arrival at Cyklon-B orbit." This prompted God to put on his own mask and such, already having fitted himself with the armor he had to wear for special operations - despite his own superpowered nature. An ominous display popped up for all the team to see, showing the planet, but also showing a major portion being taken up by a metallic, tumor-like thing. God spoke softly to Augustus, tossing him a small ear-piece so that they can stay in contact on the surface.

"They call it the Big Gete Star."

Big Gete Star on Cyklon-B

"Wow, we're going to destroy that? This may take a while, also, it looks nothing like a star. Ah, never mind." Augustus put the ear-piece in his ear and put his gas mask back on "As for the serum, at least my powers downside is better than that one guy, Anthony, he got electric powers at the cost of his sanity."

God smiled under his mask, "Ah, yes, it's name is quite...misleading." He nodded intently at the mention of Anthony as well, "Yes, that man had good in him. Maybe he still does, somewhere in that melted mess he calls a brain. We have reason to believe he has a higher agenda that what he claims." God Lee explained, the planet coming into full view, the spaceship rapidly approaching the drop point.

"He didn't think anyone had backdoors on the Watchtower, Pentagon, and Wayne Enterprises, did he? No, no, we know what he's doing. We just need to connect a few more dots and then we can have an answer. It's not one that we like, though, but it's the most obvious choice, considering where he is targeting." A shift in the lighting bathed the occupations in red, prompting the other four members of the team to stand up, God Lee following them. "We're approaching the drop-off point. Augustus, are you ready?" He said, the ramp opening to provide the team with a jumping platform, hundreds of feet above the planet's surface. "You're sitting next to our version of a parachute. It's like a jetpack, really, and you simply press down the buttons to slow your force."

God stood ready, alongside his soldiers, all waiting on the confirmation of Augustus, to begin the mission.

Augustus nodded and said "I'm ready." he grabbed the jetpack thing "Well guys, I'm out." he ran and jumped out of the ship "WOHOOOO! This is awesome!" Augustus pressed the button and landed, he then said "Screw you, Isaac Newton!"

[The Republic of Atria]

After taking the Kryptonite, and shaking Nicolas' hand, Loki instructed the ring to take him to Daud, which it did with quite an impressive amount of speed. "Daud." He says landing with the Kryptonite in his hand. "We're fighting Kryptonians. I procured some Kryptonite from... Luthor's Vault. IT's unlikely he saw me, but even if he did. I'm sure he won't be too cross. We are trying to do what he wanted. K-Stop the Kryptonian threat. I suggest we create a weapon using this. So we have a plan in the event we cannot win the fight. Kryptonians are not to be trifled with from my experience. A single one is worth a million men. I cannot imagine what hundred will do."

[The Rebel Alliances]

Solar Girl/Sora El/Caroline Kent-Rio de Janeiro
I stood as the sun began to rise over the bay. Our forces in this city, numbering only about 300 with the only larger cell in Japan and the French behind them. We lack the numbers of UC, and to make matters worse, IJ is spreading it's forces around the planet, to areas that we are normally not responsible for. I am among the most powerful in this group, having scattered the Kryptonians that sided with me around the world as they were needed, and I have sun soaked for ten minutes before regrouping with everyone else. Looking around, I could see Morgana, Super Saiya, Gravity, Humantis, Night Watcher, Scarlet Bird and Silver Star as well as many other faces. From both Brazil and other parts of the world. Shifting my eyes back to the sun above us, I clenched my fist. Knowing we would likely be outnumbered. But not by too much, not to mention they will have to break through the UC's orbital forces. Looking back, I thought about the training that these heroes have, and how they will fair against some of the most powerful forces in the Galaxy. IJ, training focuses on the abilities of each member, developing those abilities to the fullest and teamwork. We dont expect like UC, for human heroes to defeat a Kryptonian like me, as we understand that most of them dont have the wealth Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne has. Sentinel got lucky, or unlucky, with his power armor. As a beneficiary of both of those mighty heroes. But he started out like many of our street level heroes here.

Instead, IJ training focused on using what abilities you do have as a team most effectively, preserving civilian life and getting a job done with minimal property damage. Sentinel is adamant that our operations are not a burden to the host nations we work with. Each recruited member goes through a pretty standard 2 months of training, to perfect their own abilities. This time is of course, either shortened or lengthened depending on the applicants progress. Then, another three months of team training. Where each member is assigned to a cell or team by superiors on the best combination of abilities and personal skills and leadership qualities. This period will have them work together and learn to fight seamlessly, and if a wrong addition was made, change rosters around as needed.

The central pillars to being a member of Infinite Justice is teamwork, tactics and damage control.

As I looked over the tense faces, a shadow's overcast appeared. And looking up, I saw what at first seemed to be the Kryptonians. But rather, their otherworldly armor marked them as Asgardians.

Dallen...bringing the air calvary. I smirked.

As he landed along with a large compliment of forces to bolster our own. He informed me he had gathered thousands and that he has convinced Odin to go to war with Zod. Seeing Dallen, Sif and Ellyn I warmly welcomed them.

"Thank you, we will need them. I have with us a small hand full of Kryptonians. But I have sent most who have splintered away from Zod, to our other IJ cells around the world. We have all the forces here that we can spare from our Brazil division. Most are pretty raw however, the biggest threats they took down are bank robbers and some muggers and rapist. And of those that are experienced only faced up to at best some C or Maybe B rank villains. None of them have faced odds like we do now. However, with me, you and your forces at their side, and they knowing the stakes. I know they will hold firm." I confirmed, amazingly not having to convince myself, but morale would have been much higher had Sentinel been well.

It was then, with a silent force, hearing nothing until the statue of Jesus, the trademark of the city, came crashing down in a thunderous rubble. Striking my eyes up, the sky was almost covered in a wave of raining Kryptonians. Our heroes, stationed throughout and around the city, rather than a large pack so that we can better coordinate and respond. Prepared themselves, those who were able retaliated.

I shot myself into the air and without looking back behind me.

"Gravity! Forge a black hole strong enough to stop the core of their force in their place! Powerful enough to keep them from fighting, but weak enough as to not harm the city! Morgana, work with Gravity disabling as many of the Kryptonians as possible! The two of you will be our disrupters!" I then glanced over at Super Saiya. "Super Saiya, use whatever members you need and protect Morgana and Gravity as they restrain and disable Zod's men!"

I then spoke into a communicator, connecting me to the remainder of IJ forces in the city and around it.

"All IJ forces, defend your zones from any who break our defenses and your primary objective is to secure civilian evacuation and safety. Engage only enemies who enter your area and aid any allies who are being threatened with being overrun! Does everyone understand?" I surge of OKs and affirmatives echoed and then I turned to the half dozen Kryptonians I had and Dallen.

"The six of you will be a mobile defense. Move around the city and aid any IJ force in danger or escort any civilians who are unprotected." Lastly, turning to Dallen.

"We are the main attack. I will accompany you and your Asgardians to face them head on, those who escape the grasp of Gravity and Morgana."

Not waiting for a response, I shot into the sky at blinding speed. Engaging the alien threat I had unleashed, trying to restore my race.

After taking the Kryptonite, and shaking Nicolas' hand, Loki instructed the ring to take him to Daud, which it did with quite an impressive amount of speed. "Daud." He says landing with the Kryptonite in his hand. "We're fighting Kryptonians. I procured some Kryptonite from... Luthor's Vault. IT's unlikely he saw me, but even if he did. I'm sure he won't be too cross. We are trying to do what he wanted. K-Stop the Kryptonian threat. I suggest we create a weapon using this. So we have a plan in the event we cannot win the fight. Kryptonians are not to be trifled with from my experience. A single one is worth a million men. I cannot imagine what hundred will do."

Kilian seemed rather...off, to Daud, but the leader had much more to worry about. He gladly took the Kryptonite, uncaring of where it came from, and a bit alarmed that it came from a vault of President Luthor's. "A million men you say?" Daud said, twirling the radioactive rock around his fingers, "This may bring that number down, significantly." He looked to Kilian, peering deep into his comrade's eyes, "I trust that you will be there, no? Your comms have been rather hard to come by. Perhaps a product of the Speed Force." Daud hadn't the time to worry about Kilian beyond the speedster's aid to the mission, and thus, was oblivious to the fact that he spoke to Loki instead.

"This will prove to be very useful, the boys in the lab had a design up and running, and only needed something like this. Combined with our Red Solar Gauntlets, I feel safer about this upcoming conflict. Thank you, Kilian." He said, rather plainly and with little emotion. Daud was already psyching himself up for the coming battle, running through all the scenarios in his head, but each one came to the same conclusion. Daud had the material delivered to the research and development wing, ordering the members to take up shop in the Hyperbolic Chamber of Gravity and Time, that way they could complete the device in mere minutes rather than hours.

"I'll see you on the battlefield, Kilian, I'm sure you can handle yourself. You're our best independent agent. I'm counting on you."

Daud began to take to the skies, his forces alongside him. Thousands of Ultra Corps members from the United States and everywhere they had affiliates began the ascension protocol on their power suits, entering low earth orbit without much strain or issues. Daud's forces would help meet the forces of Zod, but, he knew that his forces would be the one to ultimately defeat the Kryptonian general. He glanced back at the Earth for a moment, knowing that by now his weapon was completed in the Chamber, and he thought of a familiar, smiling face. Not a recent memory, either, one from four years ago. That perky, can-do girl who was assigned to his team. Back on Oa, during the Lantern's War. Solar Girl...He thought, tragically, knowing he had to do this, not against her, but for her. Infinite Justice wouldn't understand, maybe even she wouldn't understand, but the world will.

Daud knew he would be the hero in the end, but to everyone else around him, he'd be the villain for now. He couldn't change his fate.

---

Alarms sounded in his suit, knowing that it was time. "Army Groups, ensure your positions. Remember our tactics, remember your training. Behind you stands Earth, your one and only home. Look at it now, from this spectacular height, you can't see any borders, you can't see cultures. You can't even see hate from this high up. This is our defense of what we call home, Let no one take your home from you, Corpsmen. Now, pray." Daud commanded, spearheading his forces in their chant.

"When justice seems no more..." They began, some Kryptonians beginning to appear and smash into their ranks, others moving around them to besiege Earth itself - right into the hands of Infinite Justice. "By this oath I have swore..." More arrived, Daud's forces slowly being paired off to fight Kryptonians who outmatched them at every possible angle and feat. "To end all battle and any war..." A slow moving force made it's way to face Daud, standing steadfast, managing to block a punch from a rogue Kryptonian, locking eyes with the alien in righteous anger. "Beware my fury..." He and thousands more cried, their souls on the brink of extinction and their passion lighting up the starry night sky over Earth.

"BEWARE THE ULTRA CORPS!" Daud screamed, firing the Red Solar energy from his fist and forearm like a radiant, incandescent light. The Ultra Corps' lights illuminated the sky and orbit over Earth, the Humans who were so helplessly outmatched suddenly finding themselves on more stable ground. Daud delivered a gruesome strike to the Kryptonian whose fist he blocked, expelling the Yellow Solar radiation from the alien's body, only to be replaced by Daud's emission instead, robbing the Kryptonian of power. Delivering another strike, the tables evened, Daud smashed the alien's skull and left him afloat in the void of space.

One down, hundreds to go. He thought callously, waiting for the signal he had agreed upon beforehand with his scientists. He only had to outlast at this point, and as the Ultra Corps paired up and fought as twos, threes, and fours against the alien threat, he could pin down only so much of the invasion. He left the rest to Infinite Justice, not caring about ideology or bitterness, trusting them with his home.

[The Fallen Jedi]

The Founding Masaki | Asumar Masaki
Sigma Galli Prime
1 Hour Later

By the time of the Kryptonian Invasion of Earth took place, the 60 Million Thanatos Guardians that were In service to the Old Masaki Dynasty had amassed at Sigma Galli Prime, lining up in rows of Hundred, standing outside of the Grand Warlord's Temple, waiting for their creator, and their father to deliver his heart-felt speech. They stood patiently and as deadly as If they were mere statues awaiting the day that they would once again be unleashed and ordered by the creators that painstakingly, and carefully created them, fixing every structural weakness to make them something near perfection, tending to their creations with great care as If a mother with Its child, careful In no losing It forever. In the Thanatos Guardian's eyes, The Founder and Asumar were their fathers.

Waiting only about roughly 5 Minutes, both The Founder and Asumar, the latter of them In their signature Red War Armor that represented their position as the two remaining Grand Warlords of the Masaki Dynasty, the supreme leaders that had nearly supreme power over everything that ran smoothly within the Old Masaki Dynasty, nurturing their nation carefully, In the hopes that It would survive to stand the test of time for as long as the two brothers lived. Asumar stood by his brother's side, looking down at their creations with smiles on their faces, glad to have created such marvelous children In the name of Peace, their desire to maintain peace In the Universe continued to glow brightly with their determination.

"My Creations, My Sons, and more Importantly, the protectors of this Galaxy!!!" The Founder's voice echoed across the planet, reaching out to the Thanatos Guardians who stood quietly, eyeing their creators with neutral eyes, emotions were welling up in these sentient androids that were created with much time and perfection, to achieve the greatest feat that mankind could ever know, the perfection of Bio-Technology, staring up at their creators with happiness running within their data processors "To those Thanatos Guardians who heeded my call, a call for action to those who cry out in help has arrived to our ears!" The Founder boomed his voice. The Founder was aware of the ongoing Kryptonian Invasion by Asumar's Masaki Guardians whom of which were station on the planet, providing information and Intelligence where needed.

"A cry of help from Invaders from a planet called Earth has reached our ears, the lone survivors of the Great War that killed off so much of our children, and the children of the Machines, we stand as what remains of the Old Masaki Dynasty, and as those sole remains, our objective to help all those who cry out in terror for help still remains, we must always stand by with our weapons held high, ready to heed that call whenever It reaches our ears!" From Asumar's perspective of the speech, he knew that this was not a written speech prepared by The Founder, but a speech that was delivered from the heart and soul of his brother, the one who desired to reach out to the metallic hearts of the Thanatos Guardians.

"The call of help that resonates from Earth Itself has shattered even the most sensitive ears of The Force Itself, a cry so great that It even has the potential to shatter the very walls that keep this Universe together. As the Father of the Old Masaki Dynasty, and as your creator, we must not let this cry of help Idly pass by on deaf ears... We must respond to the cry of help whenever It reaches us, It is the will of the shattered spirit of the Dynasty that we forever heed this call until the very day we fall to our own deaths, To Defend The Universe Is our Creed, and to heed the cries of the Innocent is our Inspiration!!!" Screaming the final line of his Inspiring Speech.

Staring down at his troops of 60 Million, The Founder knew that he could not sacrifice the entire army of Thanatos Guardians to the assault, but with a massive amount of 60 Million, he could provide roughly 10 to 15 Million to the Initial defense of the planet, knowing from history and rumors that the Kryptonians were never to be underestimated with merely an understatement. The Founder turned to his brother, who would serve as the Supreme Commander of the Defense Force, Asumar stared back at his brother "My Brother, I know what must be done, but In order to better understand the Kryptonian's power, I will attack with a smaller force of 1 Million Thanatos Guardians, and 300,000 of my own Guardians. I'll expect you to arrive suit with the remaining forces." Asumar stated.

[The Republic of Atria]

"I'll get on the attack!" Loki had enchanted the Kryptonite with a very unique spell. When it was used in the weapon, it would unleash a deadly wave of Kryptonite throughout the world. Though harmless to humans and everyone else. To Kryptonians, it would be extremely lethal. His work here was done. He flew to an isolated area reversing the spell he used to swap bodies and Kilian and he were switched back to normal, as a precaution, he erased his memory of the event and ensured that Kilian knew about the attack. This victory was going to be so simple, and all he had to do was watch it all unfold from the safety of Asgard.


Kilian woke up. "Weird dream... Oh shit! Invasion!" He said shooting into space. "I'm going to be fighting Kryptonians. Holy HELL this is going to hurt like hell. Come on Kilian. You screw up here, you lose earth and likely everyone on it."

[Pantorrum]

Nicholas had shaken his hand and watched him leave...
"Interesting being...I...I think he is an alright guy in my book..."

He returned to his base, examining the information from the current attack...

"Kryptonians...big whoop. Don't make me frown and telekinetically rip their skulls out...that would be aweful."
He laughed a little, as he pressed a button and a satellite in orbit shifted its camera. He began to watch the battle unfold...

10 more drones were done, and heading out to the base. When they arrived, that would make 18 total...his army would build, and when it was done, he would have great power over the world...

[Neros]

God smiled under his mask, "Ah, yes, it's name is quite...misleading." He nodded intently at the mention of Anthony as well, "Yes, that man had good in him. Maybe he still does, somewhere in that melted mess he calls a brain. We have reason to believe he has a higher agenda that what he claims." God Lee explained, the planet coming into full view, the spaceship rapidly approaching the drop point.

"He didn't think anyone had backdoors on the Watchtower, Pentagon, and Wayne Enterprises, did he? No, no, we know what he's doing. We just need to connect a few more dots and then we can have an answer. It's not one that we like, though, but it's the most obvious choice, considering where he is targeting." A shift in the lighting bathed the occupations in red, prompting the other four members of the team to stand up, God Lee following them. "We're approaching the drop-off point. Augustus, are you ready?" He said, the ramp opening to provide the team with a jumping platform, hundreds of feet above the planet's surface. "You're sitting next to our version of a parachute. It's like a jetpack, really, and you simply press down the buttons to slow your force."

God stood ready, alongside his soldiers, all waiting on the confirmation of Augustus, to begin the mission.

Augustus nodded and said "I'm ready." he grabbed the jetpack thing "Well guys, I'm out." he ran and jumped out of the ship "WOHOOOO! This is awesome!" Augustus pressed the button and landed, he then said "Screw you, Isaac Newton!"

Landing softly on the planet's surface, the rest of the team organized themselves around God Lee for instructions. "Alright, our first priority is recon at the ground level. We need to assess the threat of the Star, and then see what we can do with it." He said, looking over at the large metallic wall that formed the Big Gete Star's beginning. "It's about a mile away, and growing."

He pushed a small device into Augustus' hands. "This is a teleporting beacon. We all have one. When shit hits the fan, you press it, and you're back on the spaceship. You put it on your chest like this." God said, placing a small circle on his armor, it locking into place automatically. "Hopefully we don't get to use these, but, anything can happen. Any questions, ask on the way. Let's roll out." He said, beginning the journey to the Star with his squad in tow. "We'll need to see if there is any sentient life remaining. If there is, we need to take caution and send out a beacon for refugees. If not..." He said grimly, "We will begin preparations for busting the planet."

Android 7

The Android shot from Earth with tremendous speed, piercing the atmosphere with ease, smiling as his base form gave way to his Super Saiyan transformation, but not to his Legendary form just yet. 7 sighted hsi target quickly, a straggler, looks strong, a fighter. His eyes locked on, he increased his speed, intending to slam into the alien with a massive hit to the stomach. Approaching his target, he began to channel his energy into his fist to make it all the more effective.

Colliding with impressive speed and force, the alien barely leaned over, causing Android 7's eyes to fly open wide. "Didn't even budge..." He said, knowing his rush attack failed. He spun around into a back kick, finding something hard for before he expected - the Kryptonian blocking it with minimal effort. "Fuckin' hell." He murmured, increasing his power in order to better combat the alien, diving into a series of repeated blows to his opponent's face. Not a scratch, hardly even a movement, either. "What..." He said, pausing for a brief moment, only to be kneed in his abdomen with what felt like an entire planet's weight. Flying away quickly from the force, he was stopped and reversed by a lone punch from the same being.

Android 7 was hopelessly outclassed, and so, grew angry. His eyes shot open as he channeled more and more power into himself, inflating his muscles and height to spectacular degree, flaring his hair out more, and causing his aura to take on a greenish appearance. He was upset that he had to use this form so quickly, despite his training with Kyoten. He began to trade blows and attacks with his opponent, some unnamed Kryptonian from before, and still found himself at a disadvantage. His pupil-less eyes showed his rage at the fact that he was losing, an inner Saiyan trait that surfaced sometime ago.

"Take this, you bastard." He screamed, firing an Eraser Blow at point blank range, engulfing the Kryptonian with it's energy. He breathed a bit heavily, thinking that this was the end of that battle, only find his opponent still standing where the blast hit him - only slight singe marks. Android 7 struggled to find the words to express his disbelief, but his mind trailed back to his training with Kyoten. The Android took a grim face, understanding that this was the only way to beat these full-powered threats, as he quickly hit a wall with his opponent. He screamed and powered up, becoming a beacon for the Saiyan warrior as he screamed "KYOTENNNN!" As if he were enraged at the thought of performing that damned technique, upset that he alone couldn't defeat someone so lowly as a Kryptonian.

[The Republic of Atria]

Kilian flew into Space to see the equivalent of what could be called the meat-grinder. He saw a Kryptonian sneaking from behind Android 7 and hit him with a large number of train constructs. "I got your back big guy! Keep punching and don't stop until you're dead!" The Kryptonian recovered from the blow quite quickly which surprised Kilian when he put his shield up and the blows were knocking well past the moon and each blow cracked his shield more and more. Holy HELL these guys hit hard. This was going to be a knockdown dragout and then some. Kilian weakened the shield and the Kryptonian put far more effort into breaking the shield than he needed to which allowed Kilian to get out of the way and slam the Kryptonian into the Planet Mars from behind. "You want Earth? you're going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands!" He was actually going to have put a large amount of effort into this.

The Kryptonian was fast, but he was still faster even if there was barely a moment to breathe. He could easily run circles around the Kryptonian... If he wanted to shatter the planet just to take out one man. He wasn't crazy and wasn't going to rearrange the solar system to take out one Kryptonian when there were hundreds to deal with. Which meant this fight had to go quickly. Normally not a problem, but Kryptonians were tough. He slammed one through a large rock formation and the Kryptonian didn't even seem to notice. He needed room. He flew into the air aiming to get into space only to have the Kryptonian fire his heat vision and graze his left leg. Kilian bit his teeth and flew through the pain. It would heal. But something was going his way for once. He was far away from any known planet and was ready. He flew around the Kryptonian faster and faster until the Kryptonian lost sight of him. Kilian shot about 200,000 miles away and then shot back going beyond the speed of light and Infinite Mass Punched the Kryptonian away from the sun. He couldn't see where the Kryptonian went. But it likely wasn't anywhere close. "Jesus Christ... How the Hell are we supposed to beat an army of these bastards..."

[The Intergalactic Russian Empire]

Augustus nodded and said "I'm ready." he grabbed the jetpack thing "Well guys, I'm out." he ran and jumped out of the ship "WOHOOOO! This is awesome!" Augustus pressed the button and landed, he then said "Screw you, Isaac Newton!"

Landing softly on the planet's surface, the rest of the team organized themselves around God Lee for instructions. "Alright, our first priority is recon at the ground level.

If there is, we need to take caution and send out a beacon for refugees. If not..." He said grimly, "We will begin preparations for busting the planet."

"Yes sir." he started following them "So, what do you think this thing is anyway? I think it is a type of weird alien virus or bacteria that is consuming the planet." he looked around "I don't think there is anything here that is alive." He was thinking about the whole UC being a paramilitary force, which felt weird having a superhero group that acted more like a global military force.

[Rob Halfordia]

The Kryptonian was about to finish off Android 7, when it was suddenly taken by surprise by a punch, sent flying backwards. A fully powered Kyoten stood where it once did, rubbing his fist, "Fuck hat hurt.", he said, unaware how tough Kryptonian skin was. Despite the pain, Kyoten snickered little, "If you think that he is the best the Saiyan race has to offer, I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken. Now prepare yourself, Kryptonian, as I show you a real Saiy-", he was cut off as the Kryptonian sent him flying into the moon with a single punch. Android 7 quickly followed and the Kryptonian landed. As Kyoten lied in the dirt, he thought to himself.

Alright, less talking more fighting.

Getting up, he charged the Kryptonian, only to have each of his blows deflected. He growled, "Why are my punches not working!", he shouted as jumped backwards. Smiling, he stuck out his hand at the Kryptonian, "Take this!", he said, firing an energy blast powerful enough to destroy the planet many times over.

But the Kryptonian laughed, waking through the beam unscathed. Kyoten yelled in anger, "Why won't you die?!", he shouted, giving the beam even more power in his rage. But the Kryptonian lumbered forward, grabbing Kyoten's arm, causing the blast to stop. As it tightened it's grip, Kyoten dropped to the ground, clutching his arm in pain. The Kryptonian tossed Kyoten at Android 7, and he landed on top of him.

Kyoten was pissed. Not even at the Kryptonian. He was pissed that he would have to use the Fusion technique. Getting up, he looked at Android 7 and nodded, as they both knew what had to be done. They left Super Saiyan, aligning their energy, and standing apart.

Doing a strange dance in synchronicity, they spoke at the same time, "Fuuu-sion!", they said, assuming a rather abnormal position. They moved in unison, touching their index finger, "Ha!", they both shouted, as a massive explosion of energy emerged from them, obscuring them from sight. The Kryptonian was launched backwards by the energy. When the dust cleared, stood not two beings, but one. He had messy and spiky black hair, and was slightly taller than Kyoten, but not as tall as 7. He smiled, "Hello. I'm Kyoseven. This is where things get interesting.", he said smugly, in the voice of both 7 and Kyoten.

The Kryptonian laughed, "So what, you fused? It doesn't matter, you still can't win.", he said, equally smug.

Kyoseven laughed harder, as if trying to make a point. The Kryptonian charged him with a punch but hit nothing but air. Kyoseven stood behind him, "You'll have to do better than that.", he said, going Super Saiyan. The Kryptonian charged again, but Kyoseven delivered a brutal punch to his gut, making him dry heave a little. Kyoseven snickered a little, before grabbing the Kryptonian's arm, "Goodbye.", he said, hurling him upward, and releasing an energy blast powerful enough to not just destroy the sun and cause a chain reaction, but actually destroy the Solar System. The Kryptonian dropped to the ground, dead.

Asumar Masaki
Earth Orbit
Thanatos-2nd Gen Defense Force (600,000 Masaki Guardians)
The Return of the Dynasty

From above the orbit of Earth could another massive group of Individuals, numbering In about Six Hundred Thousand strong could be seen above the continent of South America, this was where the majority of the fighting had been taking place according to the Masaki Spies on the Earth, other fighting was In some places, but the most was taking place In South America, possibly due to the presence of the Infinite Justice base located on the planet. It was just as Asumar figured, the Kryptonians were going to launch an attack on the first line of defense that the planet of Earth had In It's arsenal, It was going to be a perfect example to show the world that the Old Masaki Dynasty was nearly at It's full power once again.

Asumar stared down at the planet, feeling the battle taking place in South America, no doubt that It was turning very destructive down on the planet, the Kryptonians were amongst one of the most powerful races according to rumors that had spread around on the planet yet another perfect example and a test for the Thanatos Guardians. Asumar smiled, a perfect test for his newfound power "Alright then... a perfect test for my newfound power." Asumar turned to his Thanatos Guardians, whose android energy was pulsating from their metallic bodies, they were Innately gathering energy to fight the Kryptonians, It was all out from the very beginning "My Thanatos and Masaki Guardians, now Is the perfect time that we show both the Kryptonians and the Humans of our burning will and determination!!!" Asumar yelled.

A Crimson Red Aura started to surround Asumar as he spoke out from the heart "- We go down there to the planet, we fight for It's Inhabitants -" Asumar's hair started to drastically shorten, as well as Red Cracks appear around his body, as If he was beginning to transform Into something "And More Importantly, WE FIGHT FOR THE EARTH'S FREEDOM!" Asumar yelled as within moments the Red Cracks around his body exploded into a massive Red Light, rivaling that of the Sun Itself. Within the glowing red light, a single figure could be seen within It. No longer the dark Asumar Masaki, but an entity once thought long ago extinguished by the flames of darkness, he was Asumar Masaki. However, he was the embodiment of Determination and Will, the New Asumar Masaki, the mighty and powerful New Asumar.

"Now My Children, Lay Waste to the Kryptonians and protect the Infinite Justice and the Inhabitants, Fight for the Old Masaki Dynasty!" The Figure calmly stated, taking off at speed rivaling that of Light Speed, his form enveloped in a Red, Comet-Like Aura, In which he was followed by the Hundreds of Thousands Masaki and Thanatos Guardians that were In his Defense Force, no longer hellbent on Invading the planet called Earth, no longer Intent on killing the people of Earth, nor dominating them by fear, but to encourage and Inspire Its Citizens to take arms and defend their home.

The Kryptonian was about to finish off Android 7, when it was suddenly taken by surprise by a punch, sent flying backwards. A fully powered Kyoten stood where it once did, rubbing his fist, "Fuck hat hurt.", he said, unaware how tough Kryptonian skin was. Despite the pain, Kyoten snickered little, "If you think that he is the best the Saiyan race has to offer, I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken. Now prepare yourself, Kryptonian, as I show you a real Saiy-", he was cut off as the Kryptonian sent him flying with a single punch. As Kyoten lied in the dirt, he thought to himself.

Alright, less talking more fighting.

Getting up, he charged the Kryptonian, only to have each of his blows deflected. He growled, "Why are my punches not working!", he shouted as jumped backwards. Smiling, he stuck out his hand at the Kryptonian, "Take this!", he said, firing an energy blast powerful enough to destroy the planet many times over.

But the Kryptonian laughed, waking through the beam unscathed. Kyoten yelled in anger, "Why won't you die?!", he shouted, giving the beam even more power in his rage. But the Kryptonian lumbered forward, grabbing Kyoten's arm, causing the blast to stop. As it tightened it's grip, Kyoten dropped to the ground, clutching his arm in pain. The Kryptonian tossed Kyoten at Android 7, and he landed on top of him.

Kyoten was pissed. Not even at the Kryptonian. He was pissed that he would have to use the Fusion technique. Getting up, he looked at Android 7 and nodded, as they both knew what had to be done. They left Super Saiyan, aligning their energy, and standing apart.

Doing a strange dance in synchronicity, they spoke at the same time, "Fuuu-sion!", they said, assuming a rather abnormal position. They moved in unison, touching their index finger, "Ha!", they both shouted, as a massive explosion of energy emerged from them, obscuring them from sight. The Kryptonian was launched backwards by the energy. When the dust cleared, stood not two beings, but one. He had messy and spiky black hair, and was slightly taller than Kyoten, but not as tall as 7. He smiled, "Hello. I'm Kyoseven. This is where things get interesting.", he said smugly, in the voice of both 7 and Kyoten.

The Kryptonian laughed, "So what, you fused? It doesn't matter, you still can't win.", he said, equally smug.

Kyoseven laughed harder, as if trying to make a point. The Kryptonian charged him with a punch but hit nothing but air. Kyoseven stood behind him, "You'll have to do better than that.", he said, going Super Saiyan. The Kryptonian charged again, but Kyoseven delivered a brutal punch to his gut, making him dry heave a little. Kyoseven snickered a little, before grabbing the Kryptonian's arm, "Goodbye.", he said, hurling him upward, and releasing an energy blast powerful enough to not just destroy the sun and cause a chain reaction, but actually destroy the Solar System. The Kryptonian dropped to the ground, dead.

Daud was having a hard time keeping up with each combatant, taking their superpowered hits and speed brutally until his Red Sun emitter began to affect them, giving him a quick shot at paying them back for damages with interest. His durability was slowly rising as a result, as was his speed to counter their moves before the Red Sun emitter took effect. He smiled a bit, thinking that he may soon have enough to take on a Kryptonian without the aid of his device, slowly beginning to trade blows with them without his Red Sun device, but still needing it's power to level the playing field.

That is, until he saw his prized soldier, Android 7, alongside Kyoten. Not that he didn't trust the man, but whatever he taught Daud's android made him almost gasp. The sheer magnitude of their raw power and the definitiveness of their abilities allowed them to take out a Kryptonian without the need for Red Solar energy...but for how long would that last? And against how many opponents? "It's...amazing." He said, grabbing onto a punch from a low-ranking Kryptonian, hurling him away as Daud stared in wonder at this ability. "I've never seen anything like it. Fu...sion?" He said, "Two fighters as one?" He quickly thought of the possibilities of this new ability, if it wasn't exclusive to Saiyans that is, and how Kyoten didn't teach the rest of the cast. The two struggled against one alien each, and together, demolished it! Imagine if Solar Girl and Daud fused, or Kilian and Daud, or anyone for that matter! It was too incredible for words.

But, the fact remains, there were too many of them, and judging by his Corps, Ultra was handling them as best as they could, but was slowly giving more ground. Where is my device... He pondered, still locked in combat with the low-ranking Kryptonian he had thrown before. We can't win this...No one can win this. This was only his fifth Kryptonian, and the others were only neutralized...for now. Daud wasn't even sure if he could kill these bastards. His Red and Yellow Lantern rings glowed instinctively, remembering something he had stumbled upon in the Chamber, but feeling that he should save it...for now, at least.

"There's just too many of them..."

Much like a few members of the Ultra Corps and Infinite Justice, Frank flew to space to counter this new threat - the Kryptonian invasion. Probably being the only person in his side of the frontline not affiliated with any of the two groups. Mostly. His scanners said that all of the invaders were Kryptonians. Like Superman. It's an invasion of Supermen! Frank took out his sword and charged at one of the enemies, only to get slapped away. They noticed him. There was no way back anymore. Only a road of blood. Frank tried to slash the enemy he tried to charge at, but the opponent easily dodged the attack and hit him from behind with heat vision. A few others joined in and kicked him around. And there was no place to stand on - it was just space.

"Alright then. You are just asking for it." Frank stopped in mid-air and shouted, though nobody could hear him through space, then advanced to Level 1 of Power Overload. A medium-sized outburst covered the area, though doing only minimal damage to his opponents. Frank quickly dashed at his opponent, overwhelming him with many quick strikes, but unfortunately, they had little effect. He was against three opponents, each stronger than him. Frank started flailing around with his Heat Blade, until he cut off someone's hand. The Kryptonian shouted in pain, then proceeded to slam his fist into the cyborg's face.

"Well, at least I did that." Frank tried to stay optimistic, but things were getting worse, He had drawn more and more attention, and his enemies were more and more pissed. Now there's seriously no chance of escape. Frank wanted to fire an energy blast, but his opponents rained down on him with FTL attacks, pummeling him around, using all kinds of heat visions and other stuff. He was not going to stay alive much longer in this level of power.

Just as the Kryptonian was about to deliver the final blow, a shining light of energy, from the Moon, drew their attention. Something important happened here. Frank took the chance and powered up. Not just to Level 2, he skipped it. Even if he could compare to one of them, there were hundreds. He went further. To a rank of power he had only been once.

"Level 3. We'll need to do this quick..." Frank said. His eyes were now glowing, his body was covered by a white-yellowish thick and fiery aura, and his hair was starting to stand up. The Kryptonians in front of his were confused. One of them tried to throw a punch, but Frank caught it and crushed the bones in it.

"Simple as that. I'm back on top." Frank gave a cocky comment, then kicked the enemy right in the lower intestines. He flew right to his group, which scattered around, though was ready to attack.

[The Republic of Atria]

Kilian flew back to the main battle to be greeted by not one or even two, but 4 Kryptonians. "This is going to hurt. Really bad." He muttered. He was in space, so dodging wasn't the hard part. Getting enough speed to actually do some damage? That was the hard part. Made even more difficult that he was trying not to kill them, but knocking them out was just as much of a challenge. Possibly even more so. His Infinite Mass Punch was more than enough to disable them, but in such close proximity to both Earth and the Moon, it would likely destroy both. Not something he was willing to do. It didn't take long for the Kryptonians to just grab his arms and legs. He tried to break free, but had very little luck actually getting free. He could feel their grip on his bones. The pain was immense. "GET. OFF. OF. ME!" He shouted at the top of his lungs and channeled Speed Force energy throughout his entire body and therefore, the Kryptonians. He kept it up for a few seconds and their grip finally loosened. Mostly because they were unconscious, but Kilian was hardly conscious as well, which lasted about 5 more seconds before he actually lost consciousness as well and dropped falling towards Earth. He ring and the Speed Force were still protecting him as he reentered Earth's atmosphere, but he was down for the count.

[The Rebel Alliances]

(OOC: Sorry about the short post. Been up all night. Better one coming after I wake up.)

Solar Girl/Sora El/Caroline Kent
I was fighting two Kryptonians at once, and it was draining my power far too quickly. I grabbed at one and fired heat beams at the other, needing to conserve energy, but becoming hard to do. Spiraling through the sky, we collided into a abandoned office building. Exiting the other side as quickly as we entered and then onto a street below. Separated from the rest of the group, I faced off against the two. One in front and another behind, the one in front lounged at me, grabbing him I threw him into the woman behind me. Then fired off a large blast of my heat beams. Keeping the blast up for ten seconds, I let it die down and used my thermal vision to see if they were still alive. Seeing they were, I tried to determine if they were in fighting shape. They answered that one for me, each one grabbing a hold of an arm and attempting to subdue me. I thrusted myself into the air, trying to shake them off. But an another soared at me and slammed me across the face. Then another smashed into my back. Before a last one drove me harshly back to the earth. Bringing the total to five. Crawling from my crater I was kicked back inside before another stomped my arm. I retaliated with ice breath, but with my current energy, the attack was weak. And only earned me more severe punishment. As the five solar charged Kryptonians proceeded to take pleasure in beating me.

"So, you are now the ones in fear? How-" Frank was about to say a long speech about overpowering his opponents, when he was hit hard by a migraine from the power, then he grabbed his head and started screaming. Six Kryptonians attacked him, but their punches did no damage, like a bullet hitting a vibranium shield. Frank suddenly grabbed one of their arms and ripped it off, then shoved it right back at the original owner's face. A second Kryptonian was hit by an energy blast so strong it vaporized him. Frank then took out his Heat Blade and cut a third enemy into two halves. The others were trying to back up, but even they could not escape. Moving at near-light speeds, the cyborg caught up to them and slammed them into each other.

Even with his amazing power, he could not keep fighting for long. It looked like he was the only one fighting the Kryptonians, at least in the space, and now the entire force was directed at him. Frank was greeted by a huge group, and he immediately fired a large energy wave at it, killing at least 15 of them. However, dozens or even hundreds of enemies were raining down on him, and he was almost completely covered in Kryptonians. What followed was a huge energy outburst, looking like a huge explosion from Earth, outshining the Sun. At least 50 of his opponents were harmed or killed, but the solar energy was recovering them. Frank kept having short power fluxes and migraines, some of his devices were malfunctioning, and his energy levels were slowly dropping. Suddenly a perfetly aimed Heat Vision hit him right in the chest, shutting down some of his reactors for a few minutes. He quickly went back to Level 2.

"If that's the case, then I'll use it!" Frank was about to take out the Kryptonite inside one of his reactors when dozens of Kryptonians rained down on him, slamming him back to Earth. A few minutes later, he hit the surface with a large shockwave.

As Daud and Kyoseven stood on the moon, Kyoseven observed his new body, before looking up at Daud, speaking in both Kyoten's and Android 7's voice, "You think this is good?", he remarked smugly, "You haven't seen anything. Now, get ready, because I'm gonna show you something. And it's gonna wish they never left the Phantom Zone. Prepare yourself for the next level of power.", he said, going Super Saiyan 2. He hunched over, as a yellow aura surrounded him, growing higher and higher. While exerting massive amounts of energy, he looked up at Daud, "Now... behold the power of a real Saiyan warrior!", he shouted, as the entire moon began to shake. Kyoseven's power began to skyrocket, and pieces of the moon began to break off in massive chunks. His power was now almost incapable of comprehension, and still continued even further. Even the Earth felt the tremors now, as earthquakes spread across the globe. Kyoseven hair began to extend, and his muscles began to bulk up. The tremors could be felt throughout the Solar System now, as his power grew far past that of the Kryptonians. An explosion of energy fired outwards, taking out a massive chunk of the moon.

When the smoke cleared, Kyoseven stood there, his eyebrows were gone, and his hair was in long strands, extended down his back. Electric energy circled around him. He looked at Daud again, "This is a Super Saiyan 3.", he said, with a smugly confident look on his face.

Snipper no snipping!

"That's one tall order, but I'll do my best. I mean, I'm not one for killing, but... I'll try to save as many as possible, I promise. Oh, Morgana, I'd be willing to guess that Black Holes are very good for shadows." I stretched up, gazing at the cloud of Kryptonians above us. I sighed, trying to calm my mind, floating up above the skyline but below the fighting.
"Okay, everybody, I'm highlighting an area on your HUDs, if you have 'em. If you don't, get as far from me as you can. Let's do this." I closed my eyes, inhaling deeply and reached into a small compartment in my suit where I kept some tiny grains of sand particularly for this kind of thing, taking out a handful. I chose one grain, dropping the others. I took another deep breath, outstretched my hand and focused on the tiny grain floating above my hand. I outstretched my hands, sending the tiny grain right into the middle of the oncoming Kryptonians.
I'm sorry.
A small black orb, about the size of a bus, suddenly appeared, immediately enveloping some Kryptonians and creating an incredibly powerful pull, sucking more towards it.

Because of the stupidity of destroying part of the moon, as it would negatively affect costal areas, the chunk of the moon spontaneously froze as it began drifting off into the vacuum of space. It then traveled back to the moon and reformed itself as though time had been reversed. As this was done, a human shaped figure floated beside the chunk -Black Bolt. Dumbasses, he thought.

- Snippy, Eh? -

Asumar Masaki
Earth Orbit
Thanatos-2nd Gen Defense Force (600,000 Masaki Guardians)
The New Speed Demon of The Masaki's

As the Thanatos Guardians, and Asumar's Masaki Guardians started to intercept the Kryptonians In battle and began to assist both the Ultra Corp and Infinite Justice in their endeavor to defend the Earth, Asumar Masaki, now In his full power state had observed Kilian begin to fall rapidly down to the Earth's surface, yet he could not respond as he had clashed with a nearby Kryptonian keeping up with the Kryptonian with his newfound speed and durability, as well as the power Increase that was bestowed upon him with the transformation. Asumar closed his eyes for a mere second, connecting to the Natural Energy that was very much similar to The Founder's own Natural Energy "Natural Energy Technique: Natural Energy Clone Technique!" From behind him, an exact copy of Asumar's appearance appeared in a flash of Green Natural Energy.

This Duplicate had already been hardwired with an order to retrieve Kilian and help him recover as to get him back Into the battle, going at speeds rivaling that of the Speed Demon himself, the Duplicate Asumar caught Kilian before he would burn up in the atmosphere, bringing him down to the edge of the battle where there would be almost no Interference. The Duplicate Asumar then slapped Kilian once, before growling and then transferring some of his Natural Energy Into Kilian's body "I know good and damn well that you ain't dead yet Kilian, wake up and fight before I kick you ass while you sleep." The Duplicate Asumar stated, making an attempt to revive Kilian.

Back to where the Real Asumar was, who was In the midst of clashing with a Kryptonian, appearing as If he was getting his ass handed to him. However on his face, the Real Asumar had a sly smirk on his face before a powerful kick was delivered to his abdomen sending him flying towards the moon's surface. They Kryptonian landed towards the rubble where Asumar was buried, and as he approached did Asumar rise up the ground with only minor wounds on his body, a smile still on his face "I assume that you must be a low level Kryptonian, your abilities are no doubt Impressive for a low level Kryptonian... but." Asumar's aura changed from a crimson one to a Silver and Gold Aura "I have yet to use my full power In this form!" Asumar stated triumphly as he would quickly dissapper, attacking the Kryptonian at Light Speed, delivering seemingly hundreds of punches per second to the Kryptonian.

[The Republic of Atria]

Kilian awake from the ground with a stinging pain on his face to see what felt like a hollow version of Asumar. "I'm up... ow. Look man. There isn't much I can do. I have the power to take them out in one shot. But because they're so close to Earth, we can kiss it goodbye if i use it. Anything else I have will either straight up kill them, or do little more than tickle them. I'm not going to kill again. Been there, done that, not doing it again. If you've got any ideas on what I should do, believe me I would love to hear it." He almost didn't believe that it was Asumar telling him to get off his ass, but there really was much he could do. The infinite mass punch was too dangerous at the range the fight was taking place.

[New Jordslag]

Forests of Maine, near Bangor
James Forrest crept quietly through grass and Bushes, to catch his prey. The target was a 23 Year old man who had committed a Robbery. He had fled from the house into the Forest. It would be his last mistake. Now within range, James took careful aim with his bow-long hours if practice really paid off- and fired. The man was hit in the Shoulder, knocking him to the ground. James dashed through the bushes, and pinned him down just as he was getting back up. He had brought Justice to yet another Forest. He looked away from the man briefly, then back at the man. He could tell the man looked terrified through his Iron mask. "Who... Who are you?" He asked. He sighed and said: "I'm the Gray Ranger. And I protect the Forests." At which point he picked the man up, carrying him back to the Victim's house. After dropping him off there, doubtless to be captured by the Police and the Victim, he headed deeper into the Forest. Finding a nice, empty clearing, he sat down and meditated. He found he regained Magical Power faster if he was calm. Then, something strange happened...
