4 Chapter 4: Invasion
Hey guys, extra chapter upload since I'm feeling very generous today. I've decided to reread LOTM, so that I can make Klein as accurate as possible.
Hope you guys enjoy this chapter!!
———————————————————-
(3rd POV)
One day went by, after warning every hero who would partake in the defense of Earth, Klein returned to his house. He bought a house in the suburbs, away from the Caffé. He didn't need to be close to the it since he can teleport wherever he wants too. He wouldn't want his house to be destroyed by the invasion, so he bought a house away from the city. The Caffé however was filled with protection charms and wards saving it from getting destroyed, if it ever happens.
Sitting in the living room, watching TV, Klein is awaiting the moment when the Aliens start to invade. He can already feel them getting closer. After much deliberation, Klein has come to the decision to get involved, in order to minimise casualties. He will use his abilities to create an avatar. Similar to the ones Amon creates.
'It's time for Gherman Sparrow to join the hunt' Klein thinks with a nostalgic smile, remembering the amount of pirates who's bounties he went after.
Changing into his Gherman Sparrow disguise, Klein appears in Gotham where evil takes root in the hearts of every Gothamite.
'This place really reminds me of the darkness of East Borough, but with less poverty.' Klein thinks as he brandishes a revolver, 'I can't use too much power since this is an avatar'
Snapping out of his thoughts, Klein spots the Aliens running around causing destruction. Seeing them, Klein teleports to them and starts firing his revolver, killing each one with a bullet. Not wasting anytime, Klein uses 'air shots' and 'fire control' to kill and burn the army of pandemonium's.
In another part of Gotham, Batman already had the necessary preparation to combat the aliens causing so much less death. However, even with all his preparations, he never imagined the army would be coming after him, even though he's been trying to save Gotham. As Batman was running from the helicopters, he gets a notification from Alfred that there is a super powered invidual massacring the Aliens nearby. He believes it's one of the 6 that 'The Fool' told him about.
Arriving at the scene, Batman watches Klein massacring the aliens, as well as protecting the innocent bystanders from dying. He doesn't recognise him from the description he was given. Seeing that, Batman decides to support, so he glides down to help. As he lands, one of them lunges towards him, however Batman parry's it to the side and shoots it in the head.
As Klein was combatting the aliens, he notices Batman. Looking at him, he nods at him, with his usual cold expression, one seemingly mirroring Batmans. Seeing Batman acknowledging his nod, they start to kill the army of pandemonium's.
As they continue killing, Batman notices one of them run of with a box like device. Seeing that they were nearly finished, Batman chases after it. Klein already knowing what happened, finished his last kill and follows him. Brandishing his revolver, Klein shoots it in the leg before it could go further.
"WHAT WAS YOU DOING AT THE DOCKS?!" Batman questions, but gets ignored and then punched in the face.
Seeing Batman get punched, and was about to get seriously injured, Klein shoots it in the head before anything more can happen.
"Why did you kill it before I could question it?" He ask, his tone clearly showing he's pissed.
Ignoring him, Klein since he has a premonition something was happening in it. Before he could descend, a bright green light shines, causing him to cover his eyes.
"Batman? You're real?" Asked the Green Lantern.
"Turn down the lights, it's pissing me off." Said a voice behind the Green Lantern.
Turning around, Green Lantern sees Klein pointing a gun at his head.
"You ignored 'The Fool's' warning and now you want to act high and mighty with your little light show, so I'll tell you again turn down the lights." Said Klein, getting pissed off at this arrogant hero.
"Who do you think you are!"
"It seems your hearing has failed you" said Klein before pistol whipping him on the chin, causing him to become disoriented.
Klein ignoring his state grabs him and throws him into the sewers before they are caught by the helicopters, with Batman following along.
"Why did you do that?" Batman asks
"He was getting on my nerves and his light would alarm the military, so the quickest way to handle an arrogant guy is by showing them they are weak." Klein replies.
As they carry on walking, Batman just observed Klein, as he's never seen him before, not in any database according to Alfred.
Seeing Klein stop and drop the green lantern on the floor; Batman goes to his side and watches an alien implant something onto the wall.
"FoR DaRkSiDe!" He shouts before it explodes.
Before it explodes a green construct is placed around them before they were engulfed by flames.
"I just saved your life, you owe me one now." Says the Green Lantern, who was already up from the floor.
"Oh? The sleeping beauty is already awake?" Retorts Klein, he really dislikes his prideful attitude.
"Shut up!"
"ENOUGH!" shouts Batman, putting a stop before a conflict happens.
Klein just ignores him and walks up to the thing placed on the wall.
"What is that?" Asks Batman
"Ring, scan and identify this." Says the Green Lantern as he scan the box.
[Unable To Identify]
"WHAT?! That's impossible. The ring knows what the guardians know. And they know everything." Says the Green Lantern in shock.
"Not impossible, improbable maybe but not impossible. Your Lantern Corps may know everything within their part of the universe, however there are some they don't know." Says Klein. So as to identify it, Klein use divination to divine the origins of the box.
"Origins of this box," says Klein as he puts his hands on the box.
"This is a Mother Box, a sentient, autonomous computer, usually found on New Genisis, home to the New Gods. There is too much information on them so I'll just tell you what they are going to use it for. They are going to open up Boom Tubes, which allows for long distance teleportations. It seems the mastermind behind this will be teleporting directly onto Earth." Klein informs them of the results of his divination.
"And how did you come to this?" Asks Batman.
"That's for me to know, and you to find out." Replies Klein. "We should get to Metropolis and meet Superman. He is the one they seem to be after." Says Klein before an illusionary door is conjured.
"Hold onto my shoulders, or you will be lost in the spirit world with no way out." He says with a blank expression.
"Where are we going?" Asks Green Lantern.
"To Metropolis."
~~~~~~~
(Scene Change)
In Metropolis, in a demilitarized zone, owned by LexCorp, an illusionary door with stars appears. As it opens, three individuals appear coming out of the door.
"How does this work?" Asks Batman.
"Magic" replied Klein, not really knowing what to call it since it isn't really magic.
(Guys what are his abilities called. Since he can't say it's a Beyonder ability, and he it's not magic, so what really is it? Divinity?)
"So where is this Superman?" Asks the Green Lantern, not caring about Kleins abilities.
"I am here." Says a deep voice. Looking up, they see a man in a tight spandex with a red cape, floating down.
'Why do these hero's like wearing such tight clothing' thinks Klein as his lips twitch, not trying to break his persona.
"You guys must've gotten the warning from that man, it seems he was correct." Says Superman.
"What, you as well? Who was he? He nearly destroyed my ring when I tried to scan him. He seemed to know who we was." Says Green Lantern with a vexed expression
"Yes we were warned by him. He said they were coming for you. Why?" Asks Batman
"I do not know. All I know is-" before he could finish off what he was saying a red blur passed by them. We watch it as it stops and runs towards us. As it stops we see a man in yet again a tight spandex suit.
"Hey guys, fastest man on the planet here. Red Flash!" He says with a smile.
"Batman" introduces Batman
"Superman" introduces superman
"Green Lantern, but you already knew that." Says Green Lantern.
They all turn towards Klein, since they've never heard his name. With his eyebrows twitching he introduces with a small courtesy;
"Gherman Sparrow."
After the introductions, Superman leads the way to an abandoned printing press, where they try an analyse what it is with the information Klein gave them. They are attempting to try and hack into the box.
"A fruitless endeavour." Says Klein.
"What do you mean?" Asks Batman
"It is a Mother Box, a computer made of Element X, the purest form of creation itself. Although I do not know much about computer, with the equipment you have here, it'll be impossible to hack into it." Says Klein.
"We will have to try." Says The Flash.
As the group of 'smart' men try to analyse the box, it starts to ping. Looking at it Klein gets the intuition that it will be another wave of pandemonium's.
"Everyone, the book tube device has turned on. Get ready for a fight." Klein warns the group of hero's whiles he reloads his bullet.
'The hunt must go on'
~~~~~~~~~
(Scene Change)
In a laboratory, similar to the group of Hero's group, they have acquired a mother box somehow and are now trying to analyse the alien technology. However, similar to the other mother boxes, this ones boom tube device was activated. As it activated, it releases a huge red beam, incinerating the things in its path.
Unfortunately, a young college student was caught up in the bean of energy causing his body to burn.
The father of the child, refuses the let him die, so he decides to fuse the mother box and promethium skin graft as well as the nanites that haven't been tested to save his son from his inevitable death. Activating the machinery on his son, Victor Stone starts to scream.
"AHHHHH010101000010111!" Victor starts to scream before he recites a binary code. It is basically him screaming in binary since he is now fused with a mother box, he has become a living cyborg.
~~~~~~~~
Back to Klein, he is currently facing off against the army of pandemonium's, leaving nothing but a massacre in his path as he is drenched in their blood. His cold, magical but ruthless massacre causes the aliens to start to feel fear. Not in Darkseid, but Klein as his eyes see them as prey for his hunt.
"Scaryy." Says The Flash as he punches another alien whiles watching Klein absolutely destroy the army with his wide range of abilities.
As they continue fighting, Diana arrives at the scene with a sword and whip. She ruthlessly cuts down on her enemies.
"Creatures of evil! BACK TO HADES!" She shouts as she slices them with a her sword and whips them with her lasso. Not minding the stares from the other hero's, she watches Klein as he ignores her presence whiles killing the army. She admires his abilities to not get distracted and his strength during this war.
"You, fine warrior, you are strong. I would love to spar with you sometime." She calls out to Klein.
'Is she catcalling me? Tsk tsk, Diana I didn't think you were this frivolous.' Klein jokes as he steals the distance between himself and a horde of aliens. Conjuring a sword from the historical void. Everything from the start of the street to the end of the street is cut cleanly in half, showing his prowess to the other hero's.
'Hopefully no one asks for reimbursement" he lampoons as he admires his own strength. 'This is getting tedious, should I just summon a supernova'
As the battle rages on, a green alien joins the hero's. It was the Martian. He uses his fire to burn away the enemies as well as using telekinesis to crush on the destroyed buildings to kill en mass.
"And you miss be the Green Martian we were told about." Says Superman, thinking whoever warned them, saved them from ignorance reducing casualties and in fighting.
"Indeed, I was warned by 'Him' about this invasion. Earth is my home, so I should protect it as well." He says in a serene voice.
As the battle rages on, another hero joins the fray. It was Aquaman, who emerged from the sea whiles an enemy was stuck on his trident.
"They were in the water too. So who's in charge here. I vote me." Aquaman announces himself. "I'm Aquaman"
"Your real too? I thought you were a sketch Conan O'Brein?" Asks Green Lantern.
"I'm very real." Replies Aquaman
"More incoming." Warns Klein as he sees another horde of aliens rushing towards them.
"Is there never an end to them?" Asks Batman, as he is an ordinary human, his stamina is running out.
Continuing their fight, Klein suddenly gets a spiritual warning, as if in time another boom tube opens up. This time however was a cyborg kid. Ignoring him, Klein continues fighting, but ultimately stops when he hears;
"Mr. World is that you?" Asks a feminine voice nearby.
"Miss Justice?"
To be continued…

Sooo, how did you like this chapter. Did you like the cliffhanger I set. Hehehe. You guys wanted Audrey, you got Audrey. I thought this would be the best time for her to make her appearance.
I say this because, it took a little bit over 3 years, for Klein to become a God in LOTM. He was in this world for a little over 3 years, now the same thing is happening. Audrey came after 3 years.
Do you guys think this was a bad or good idea.
Anyways stay tuned for more chapters!!
