Chapter 67 - Carnage

---Universe 15---

Fully equipped for giving aide, all of us hurried to Universe 15 to help. Arriving on the scene as a Flash was dropping off people, we ran over to assist with the injured. The injured people were covered with burns, and missing body parts.

"Where are the refugees coming from?", I asked the Universe 15 Batman.

"They are coming from Universe 12, Universe 13 is under siege and 14 isn't taking anyone.", he replied.

Watching civilians, Heroes, and Villains alike being brought to us my heart heart seeing all the broken families. Waiting for their turn to get treatment I watched parents calling out for aide for their dying families, It reminded me of the many warzones I had been to providing aide to those caught in the crossfire, the innocent civilians.

"Is everything okay?", Mera (Universe15) asked me.

"No...", I said looking at the severely injured children, "No it isn't!"

Turning towards to where the Universe 12 Flash was running in and out of, I knew I had to step in. I wasn't about to stand by, and watch this happen with me right here. For now I didn't need to win the fight, I just needed to buy time for them to evacuate as many people as they could. Suddenly time froze as Lucifer appeared behind me.

"So, finally going to step up to the plate?", he questioned.

"Don't lecture me, I didn't want this to happen. All I was trying to do was give us the best chance at taking him down. These people need help, and I won't turn my back on them when they are asking for help!", I said firmly, "I saw this shit in my last life, and I won't-"

"You don't have to tell me that, go do your thing.", he chuckled.

"What's wrong?", Mera (Universe 15) asked me.

"I am going, get these people help and contact the other universes for help!", I barked.

"You're going!?", Mera (Universe 15) shouted, "What the hell do you mean your going!? You'll be killed if you-"

"I am not turning my back on what I see!", I remarked glaring at her, "Melissa! Call the other Heroes from our world, and get Nezu to send aid! I am going to hold the line as long as I can before falling back!"

"Wait what!?", she replied.

Lightning danced around me as I activated the Speed Force, and shot out of Universe 15 barreling towards Universe 12.

"Is he nuts!?", Fury (MHA) snapped, "That's suicide!!"

"Trust in Clark, let's do what he asked and get back up!", Ochaco and Toga said.

"Let's trust our husband to be, if he made the decision we have to back him up.", Maxima stated, "These people need help, and he is trusting us to provide them safety! Let's not fail to meet his expectations!"

"Exactly, I believe he won't give his life up so easily.", Kara (MHA) added.

Nodding her head Melissa picked up her cell, and called All Might and Nezu for assistance. Explaining the situation, she pleaded with them for assistance which they readily promised to give.

---Universe 12---

Dashing past Universe 12 Flash, I appeared in his world only to find that world was a blaze. Civilians were running towards the safe zone the Heroes and Villains were barely holding as the Black Lanterns and Prime marched towards them.

"Damn it all!", I spat, "Life Entity if you can hear me, I need your assistance to hold them back!! I can't do this without your aide!!"

As if it had been expecting me the beaten and battered Life Entity, in the form of a lion, appeared before me. Telling it that I need to by time in order to save as many people as I could, it nodded it's head saying it would give me everything it had. Charging me ring and then merging with it, I felt I could hold the line at the very least. Touching down where the this world's Supergirl and Superman were struggling to hold the Lanterns back, I blasted them to pieces with the White Lantern Ring. Turning back to look at me I nodded my headed to them.

"Focus on evacuating the civilians and injured!", I shouted making a mace out of part of my armor, "Once you have gotten all that you can to Universe 15, fall back and don't come back for me. I can get out of here myself."

"Wait, who are you!?", they asked.

"I am your counterpart from an alternate Earth, now shut up and get moving!", I snapped.

Swing my mace around I slammed into a Solomon Grundy, and let loose a massive blast of lightning that arcs through the Black Lanterns. Grabbing a city bus, I ran forward using it as shield as I forced the corps back. Slamming my mace into the ground I didn't worry about the property damage I would cause, and dropped the part of Gotham in front of me into the earth. Dashing around to save civilians I handed them over to the League before returning to keeping the Black Lantern's preoccupied.

Making a Gatling Gun out of White Light, I started firing into the sea of Lanterns. Doing everything I could to make them focus on me I kept my eyes peeled for Prime and Nekron. Watching me throwing the Lanterns around, and kill them without hesitation Batman observed me closely.

"Something wrong Bruce?", Wonder Woman (Universe 12) asked.

"He is similar to Prime.", Batman (Universe 12) pointed out.

"I don't think it matters at this point.", Deathstroke (Universe 12) said, "He is on our side, and that is enough for me."

"Agreed, the Heroes on the other side say we can trust him.", Flash informed Batman, "He's called in aide on the other side, and they are already treating the injured. Don't look too much into it right now."

"I am just making an observation, I am not complaining.", Batman (Universe 12) stated.

"Good, I thought you were crazier than me for a moment there!", Joker (Universe 12) laughed.

Blasting the Black Lanterns with microwaves they started to cook from the inside out as they kept charging forward. Raising my hands into the air the atmosphere started crackle as electricity started to build up. Swing my hands down, lightning dropped down like a massive waterfall vaporizing hundreds of the Lanterns almost instantly. Sensing a Speed Force user approach me, I dodged a Infinite Mass Punch from a Black Lantern Flash. Grabbing him by the throat I hoisted him into the air.

"Burn.", I said as I siphoned his Speed Force energy from him and reduced him to ashes with my heat vision.

Turning to the approaching Black Lanterns I decided to use Yellow Light to see how it work on them. Looking down at them I released my killing intent on them. The effect was almost instantaneous as their advance halted in it's tracks.

"Where is Prime...", I demanded, "Where is the man responsible for this carnage?"

"He...he isn't here...", a few of them said, "He...he is in Universe 11 squashing the remnants of resistance."

"I see...", I stated narrowing my eyes, "Then no one is here to save you from me..."

Vanishing from their sight, the next thing most of the Lanterns saw was the sky as their heads were ripped from their bodies. Following that their bodies exploded from the force of my punches as their bodies turned to mist. Crushing the disbelief expression Batman head I was holding I looked to the sky trying to find more Black Lanterns. Spotting a large group in outer orbit, I shot up into the sky to wipe them out.

"You...you just saw that right?!", Shazam (Universe 12) gulped, "They didn't realize what happened!!"

"I couldn't even keep up!", Flash (Universe 12) said, "Where the hell did they find that guy!?"

"Don't ask questions, just keep moving Barry!", Reverse Flash (Universe 12) snapped.

At that moment they felt a massive pressure wave hit them as I obliterated a Black Lantern Superman. Watching me mercilessly destroy the Black Lanterns with brute strength and the White Lantern Ring, their Superman told them they need to finish the evacuation. Agreeing with him they hurriedly transferred people over.

---Universe 15---

"Critically wounded and children come here for treatment!", Recovery Girl and Emergency Woman shouted, "We have beds open for those that need them!"

Having called Section 13, and my acquaintances around the globe Nezu had Sonico use my experimental portal generator to get aid here in a hurry. Running around with medical supplies for those that needed, Sonico was doing the best she could to help.

"This is terrible...looking at it through a monitor is much different than seeing it in person.", Ryuko said looking at the injured civilians.

"I see why Clark couldn't stand by, and watch.", Nezu added looking at the children, "This is simply inexcusable."

"Agreed, it is hard to believe even though I am seeing it in person.", All Might said.

"We have brought more medical supplies.", the Princess of England said dropping of a box of medicine, "Where did you say this is?"

"A different universe.", Aizawa stated, "There is a lot more going on behind the scenes than you realize.",

"I can see that...", she said looking at the chaos, "This is a nightmare."

"Ain't that the truth.", Ivan chuckled as children clung to him thinking he was a giant teddy bear.

Seeing as they were all injured, he didn't have the heart to tell them he wasn't a teddy bear. It made them feel safe, and that was what matter most to him. Asking about the status on the other side from an injured Green Arrow he hung up his bow before speaking.

"Honestly...it's Hell over there. They came in without warning, and caught all of us off guard. Half our planet was destroyed in a few days along with a good portion of the universe.", he said, "We did everything we could to stop them, but we were out gunned and unable to really stop them. It was like as soon as we put one down another got back up."

"How is Clark doing over there?", Ochaco and Toga asked.

"You mean your Superman?", he clarified, "He mean something too-"

"We are his girlfriends!", the two snapped.

"Okay got it...", he said scooting away a bit from them, "He is fine, he came in the nick of time. Our defensive line was about to crumble when he came. When I was evacuated he was fighting a horde of Black Lanterns single handedly, and ordering everyone to evacuate the civilians. It looked like he was trying to get the Black Lanterns to attack him instead of everyone else. I have to admit...you two ladies got real lucky to have a man like that."

"It's not just two.", Selena (MHA) said, "There are a lot more than two."

"You telling me he has a harem or something?", Green Arrow (Universe 12) asked.

"A harem with two pregnant women in it.", Starfire (MHA) boasted.

"We agreed to keep that under wraps, Star.", Raven (MHA) sighed.

"Opps...my apologies.", Starfire (MHA) said remorsefully.

"Two!?", David shouted, "Melissa please tell me that it isn't-"

"I am not pregnant father...", Melissa sighed.

"Thank heavens, you almost gave me a heart attack.", her father said.

"Let me guess it's Rumi and-", Aizawa started to say with a grin.

"Say another word, and I will end you.", Nemuri seethed.

"Got it...", he said backing up.

"Ahem...I will pretend I didn't hear that.", Nezu said breaking out into a sweat.

Seeing Universe 12 Flash again bringing more people there, Toru and Blackfire asked for an update.

"Your boyfriend...damn he is something else. He wiped out the horde single handedly and is engaging another group in the atmosphere.", Flash (Universe 12) said.

"Really!", Maxima and Blackfire shouted, "...to be expect of him!"

"So the other side is calming down enough that we can finish the evacuation?", Green Arrow (Universe 12) asked.

"We should be done in thirty minutes.", he replied, "So long as he can hold them back, we can get everyone out."

"That's a relief.", Green Arrow (Universe 12) sighed.

"Yeah...", Flash (Universe 12) said, "He...he's kind of like-"

"Don't you say it.", Kara and Fury snapped, "He isn't anything like Prime, don't even insinuate it."

"Got it, sorry!", he said bolting.

---Universe 12---

Obliterating the former Corps members of other universes before they could reach the planet surface, the remaining Black Lanterns fell back to regroup. Flying back down to the safe zone I checked to see how evacuations were proceeding.

"We are nearly done.", Batman (Universe 12) stated, "Where did the Black Lanterns go?"

"The fell back to regroup, they will likely come back in force so now is the time to hurry up.", I stated.

Helping ferry people across I did it as safely as possible given the state some people were in. Halfway through getting people out the Black Lanterns came back to fight. Tell the JLA to finish the evacuation I would hold their attention till they were done. Flying straight into the swarm of Lanterns, I made two machine guns and started firing into their group. Using my heat vision to intercept faster flyers, I stopped their advance in the stratosphere.

After a few minutes I decided to switch tactics. Dismantling the guns I went full blown Supernova to take a large swath of them out in a single go. Releasing an explosion ten times the power Nova had, the Lanterns within a few miles of me vaporized instantly without so much as a scream.

Witnessing the explosion on the ground the concussive wave hit everyone nearly sending them flying. Releasing they really had to hurry Flash and the other Speedsters redoubled their effort. Hurriedly transporting people they managed to finish in ten minutes. Calling out to me that everyone was evacuated, Superman told me they were clear.

"Finally, now no more fucking around!!", I shouted hitting a turned Superman hard to erase him from existence, "Now you scumbags, whose next!"

Throwing Lanterns around at blistering speeds towards the ground, hundreds of them burned up before hitting the ground. Taking my anger for what I saw out on them, I steam rolled the Corps. After a bit of time the Corps retreated again fleeing from me. Teleporting in front of them I used my psychic powers to throw them all to the ground.

---Universe 15---

"That's the last one...", Iris (Universe 12) panted, "We are all evacuated."

"Where's Clark?", Momo and Rumi asked.

"He's still on the other side.", Superman (Universe 12) said, "I don't know what he is doing."

"Knowing him he isn't going to stop with just evacuating the people.", Ivy (MHA) said, "He's probably going to make them pay dearly."

"That is our darling boyfriend!!", Starfire (MHA) shouted, "Always making evildoers pay!"

"You can take it down an octave Star, I don't think people performing surgeries want you shouting.", Raven (MHA) sighed.

"Sorry.", Starfire (MHA) said softly.

"I don't think it really matters.", Melissa stated, "Clark's robots aren't going to react to loud noises like humans do."

"So...he made these machines?", Mera (Universe 15) asked, "These are far more advanced than anything I have seen."

"That's true, how advanced is your world?", Luther (Universe 15) asked.

"Not much more than this world, Clark made them himself.", Ochaco said.

""Nothing like this existed before hand?", he inquired.

"Nothing.", Melissa said.

"Hmm...you sure he is from your world? It is too strange for something like this to come out of nowhere.", Luther (Universe 15) stated.

"Don't start problems Luther.", Selena (Universe 12) hissed, "We are happy the way things are."

"I am not trying to start any problems. Seeing as he is the only thing keeping the Black Lanterns back, I am not trying to cause him issues. Unlike the boy scout Supermen here, he has no issue killing people that are causing problems.", Luther said, "I respect him for not trying be something he isn't, and play a false saint."

"I admit his tech is far beyond anything we have, and yes it's strange but he is a good person. He is a kind, caring guy who treats people in need with respect. While he may be a bit overly aggressive with villains, he has never once hurt an innocent person. He goes out of his way to shield them from danger using himself as a shield if needed.", Nejire told him, "If he is hiding something he is only doing so for a good reason. I won't question his motives because all of us trust him. He came to all of you with nothing to gain, and put his neck out for the people of Universe 12."

"I...", he said taking a few steps back, "That is a fair statement, I apologize. My Superman was always very secretive about his life, and kept most people uninvolved with his identity. Yours seems to not hide his identity, and openly embraces who he is. That is an admirable trait considering some Heroes here are only a single murder from being a villain."

"Hey!", Shazam (Universe 12) said.

"I said some, you're barely out of potty training kid.", he retorted.

"I see this world's Lex Luthor isn't any better than ours...", Superman (Universe 12) sighed.

"Well maybe if you stopped acting like you were better than everyone else I wouldn't treat you like a threat. Your one killing away from being a tyrant!", Lex (Universe 15) said.

'He doesn't know the half of it...', my girlfriends thought.

---Universe 12---

Having slammed the Lanterns into the surface of the planet, I pushed the moon down towards them while pinning them in place with magic. As the Moon breached the atmosphere the Moon's surface started to heat up as it hurtled toward the ground. While I was pushing the Moon down, I heard the voices of people that had escaped the reach of rescuers in the chaos.

Activating the Speed Force, I shot around the planet in the span of fractions of a second. Grabbing people, and taking them to Universe 15 I made short work of grabbing them. I had never run at this speed before, to completely cover the surface in the span of less than half a second was something I had never thought I could do yet I did so like it was natural. With the entire planet cleared I continued pushing the Moon to the ground.

---Universe 15---

"Where the bloody hell did all these people come from!?", Constantine (Injustice) asked.

"Your boy Clark brought them.", Lucifer replied with a smirk.

"Lucy!? What the hell are you doing here?", her gasped.

"Here trying to get him to protect my precious alcohol!", Lucifer answered looking at the crowd, "These people were those the Heroes of Universe 12 missed."

"We did what we could!!", Superman (Universe 12) snapped.

"You keep telling yourself that.", Lucifer laughed, "If you weren't such an idiot you could have actually fought Prime a bit. All of you Supermen, aside from Clark, rely too much on brute strength to resolve issues. Had you actually trained to master your powers you would have been a better match for Prime who is strong than you."

"What did you say!?", he shouted.

"Clark, it's not worth it.", Batman (Universe 12) stated, "He is only saying that to get a rise out of you. Don't give him what he wants."

Calming himself down Superman sighed, and remained silent.

"Whether you want to admit it he's right. Our Superman never trained either.", Wonder Woman (Universe 15) said, "They killed him with a good effort."

Clapping his hands Lucifer nodded his head, and said that the show was about to start. With a snap of his finger a view portal appeared showing me slamming the Moon into the Earth's surface. Watching their world implode from the blow, they watched thousands of Black Lanterns burn as I destroyed their rings.

Cheering as they watched the invaders be wiped out, my girlfriends smiled with excitement watching it unfold. As for the others from MHA, they were in utter disbelief.

"I...I thought he was joking!!", Aizawa gulped, "He pushed the freaking Moon!!"

"He brutally slaughtered the enemy as well.", Ryuko stated.

"We can't put the same standards on the Lanterns we put on our villains. We can clearly see the damage they caused looking around us.", Nezu said.

"Precisely, he is doing what he feels needs to be done to protect the refugees!", All Might laughed, "Exactly as a Hero should!"

Thinking that the battle was over, the women got ready to receive me till they saw me turn to an eerie looking portal. Watching a figure that looked similar to me step out, Kara and Fury became enraged.

"Prime!!", they seethed.

---Universe 12---

"So you're the one causing my troops issues.", Prime said, "Interesting, you look and feel similar to me."

"Don't compare you and I.", I replied narrowing my eyes, "I am not the monster you are, nor will I ever be you."

"Haha you can say that all you want, but you know that we are a completely different breed from them. I only became this monster because they took my world from me, and no one wanted to accept me!", he spat.

"That's bullshit and you know it!! No one made you follow that Superman!!", I retorted, "You are just a sick and twisted manchild that is making innocent people suffer like you."

"So what!? If I can't be happy no one can!!", he shouted.

Cracking my neck as I removed my helmet, I stared him down with stare that would have scared most to death instantly.

"I have seen the carnage you brought here...I will dish it back to you twenty fold!!", I said in a cold tone, "When I am done with you I will send you to embrace the sweet embrace of death as you are dragged into they lowest places in Hell!! I will dig out a level just for you with your face!!"

"I'd like to see you try! You know how many people have said that before you? I remember one of the Kara's that escaped me said a similar thing to that.", he laughed, "She was so pissed off when I killed her cousin, his wife and child."

Knowing he was talking about my girlfriend, my anger snapped. Vanishing from his view, the next thing he saw was my fist slamming into his face.

---Universe 15---

The force of my blow shook the entire Multiverse causing the inhabitants of Earth 15 to grab onto something to stabilize themselves.

"What the hell was that!!", Luther (Universe 15) shouted.

"That would be him when all the safeties are off.", Lucifer chuckled, "You know Kara, he got pissed off on your behalf. Prime was mocking what happened to you, and your boyfriend lunged at him in anger."

"He...he did!?", Kara said not taking her eyes off the monitor.

---Universe 12---

The sudden blow caught Prime off guard causing him to shoot out of the Solar System in only a few seconds. Catching up to him he sucker punched me in the face, but I phased right through the punch. Having Spectre hit him in the face as I pumbled him, Prime got pissed off. Grabbing an Asteroid he hit me with it though it didn't even register to me. I wanted his head I would be damn if anything got between me and him.

Remembering that his armor constantly supplied him with Yellow Sunlight, taking the armor out first was the top priority. Having my suit activate the Blue Sunlight emitters on the inside I felt my powers skyrocket as I grabbed Prime by the throat.

---Universe 15---

"Haha we are about to see your boyfriend come unchained.", Lucifer laughed with glee.

"Lucy, he isn't going to mentally snap is he?", Constantine (Injustice) asked.

"Of course not, we have the keys to his sanity back behind us. With them here he won't go off the deep end.", Lucifer said, "I would hate to be Prime right now, this is gonna hurt."

---Universe 12---

Throwing a deadly gut punch with my right arm, my hand blasted through his armor and right through him. Keeling over in pain from the hit, I grabbed hold of his spine and twisted. Crushing it I ripped it out of place severing his connection to in his lower body. Howling in pain I place my hand over his mouth with my right hand as I started punching him over and over with my left hand. Adding his own strength to the fight, Spectre assaulted Prime as well in between my blows.

Coughing a mouth full of blood as we beat him down we smashed him through planets, the two of gave him not even an inch of space to fight back. Beating his face into a bloody mess as I dragged him through planets, I coated my fists in Red Sun Radiation to cause him even more damage.

"What's wrong?! I thought you were supposed to be mister tough guy!!", I mocked, "You wiped out 11 Universes, and killed countless people!! How does it feel to be helpless against me!!"

Glaring at me in anger I could tell he still had fight left in him. Since he wasn't going to break, I would make him feel all the pain he caused.

"Spectre, I am going to borrow your power.", I told him mentally.

"What do you intend to do?", he asked.

"Watch, you will see that you aren't the only one that can torment living criminals.", I responded.

Grabbing his head I forced him to look at me. Staring into my eyes he watch them change to green glowing orbs of fire. Instinct took over as he tried to break free not knowing what was about to happen.

"Look into my eyes.", I commanded, "Your soul is stained by the blood of the innocent. Feel their pain!"

Looking at my eyes for a fraction of a second he felt unbearable pain come over his body. Screaming and grabbing at my face trying to get me off of him he started crying literal tears of blood.

"What the hell was that!?", Spectre gasped, "That was amazing!!"

"It's called Penance Stare, and it's a skill from a Hero of another universe.", I replied with a smirk, "This will slowly eat away at his soul while making him suffer all the pain he caused in these past months in less than two days."

"Haha now that is vengeance!", Spectre said watching Prime writhe in pain.

The sight was short lived though as another portal opened in front of us. Shooting out of the abyss black tendrils came right for me with intent to kill. Dodging them while holding onto Prime, the tendrils chased after us.

"Kid that's part of Nekron!", Spectre said.

Shooting out of the area, portals opened all around us as Nekron tried to take Prime. Increasing the rate of his portal making I knew he was getting desperate. Coming up with a plan, I dove into the Speed Force which made Prime go even more ballistic as he was utterly petrified of Speedsters. Realizing that I was one as well he put everything into trying to get away for fear I was going to trap him here. Slamming him in to the barrier with Universe 11, I increased my speed drag him along the wall.

Speeding the end of time itself, Nekron knew what I was intending to do. Launching an all out assault against me, he sent all the Speedsters he had under his control after me but none of them could catch me. Lining themselves up they tried to streamline themselves to catch me, but I wasn't about to let that happen. Pulling the Speed Force into me more and more the world around me slowed down more and more till time looked like it had completely stopped around me while I kept moving forward.

---Universe 15---

"Barry what the hell is going on?!", Constantine (Injustice) spat.

"I...I don't know.", Barry (Injustice) and Barry (Universe 12) said, "He...he is going faster than we ever have!"

"What about you cocksucker, any idea?", Constantine (Universe 15) asked Reverse Flash.

"Don't ask me either, if my counterpart can't keep up then he is running faster than I can too.", Reverse Flash (Universe 12) stated, "Also, don't call me a cocksucker you drunk Harry Potheads!"

"You take that you piss stain!", Constantine (Injustice) spat.

"Will you children stop making a noise? I am trying to observe this unlike you two.", Lucifer stated.

---Universe 12, Speed Force---

Feeling my body become lighter and lighter, I felt myself want to keep going faster like I had no limit.

"Kid you got stop!!", Spectre stated, "You have your Solar Rechargers on and are absorbing Speed Force energy too fast!! If you don't stop your going to become a Living Energy Entity!!"

Snapping out of it I mentally turned off the Blue Solar Radiation, and willed myself to stop absorbing Speed Force Energy. As I approached the end of time, I put Prime in front of me as I readied myself to blast him deep into the chaos that was the end of everything. Just steps from Entropy I let go Prime, and threw a punch with every ounce of strength I had into his chest. Covering my right arm in White Light, I slammed my fist into his armor. The impact from the blow sent ripples throughout the timeline as Prime shot out of the timeline into the abyss at the end of the world.

Turning around I barreled forward head long into the Speedsters as the ran forwards. Readying my ring I was going to see if I could turn them back like in the comics. Focusing myself on the ring, I said my oath while pointing the ring at them.

"In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight.

When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the stars, for hope burns bright!", I shouted.

A blinding white light flooded the area as I finished the oath, and bathed all the Speedsters.

---Universe 15---

"My eyes!!", Mina protested as she was momentarily blinded.

"Damn that's bright!", other people said shielding their eyes.

"Haha!", Lucifer laughed shielding his own eyes with sunglasses.

---Universe 12, Speed Force---

As the light died down, I saw the Speedsters standing there as their black uniforms fell apart. Replacing the Black Lantern uniform with their own, the Speedsters looked like they had come out of a fog. Looking around like they had no idea where they were they got their bearings quickly, and looked at me.

"Uh...this is embarrassing, but what are we doing here?", Barry (Universe 15) asked.

"Yeah...why are we in the Speed Force?", Iris (Universe 2) added.

"Haha I can explain that when we get back to Universe 15.", I replied with a smile removing my helmet, "For now all I can say is...welcome back."

---Universe 15---

Together all of us ran back to Universe 15. Stepping out of the Speed Force, survivors from Universe 1 through 12 came rushing forward to greet us. Friends, family, and colleagues of the resurrected Speedsters high fived and hugged them holding back their tears. Seeing their reactions made them remember what had happened, and all the horrors they had seen. Looking at their hands guilt overwhelmed them as they recalled all the deaths they caused.

"You weren't in control of yourselves, nor were you in the right mindset.", I told them, "You gave your lives to protect as many people as you could before they turned you. All of you should hanging your high with pride, all these survivors are here because of sacrifices all of you made. The smiles you see are still here because you gave everything to save them."

Looking back at me then to the survivors that nodded their heads in agreement, they thanked me and their friends. Just as we were about to walk towards everyone an other portal opened behind us. Pushing everyone forward, I turned and blocked a scythe swung by Nekron. Blocking it with the White greatsword the two weapons clashed as the opposing forces meet. Nekron was no slouch and was easily on par with Prime while being in much better control of himself.

"This is only a minor setback Mortal. I will retrieve Prime, and we will see your worlds fall under my control.", he said in a deathly cold tone.

"And I will be here to meet you both head on!", I retorted with a hardened look.

"We will see Mortal.", he stated easing off as he fell back into his portal, "Let's see how you fair when my army pours into this world."

Putting a smile on my face I looked him in the eyes.

"I will be ready and waiting. No evil will draw near because I. AM. HERE!", I shouted back at him with a signature All Might smile.

Fading back into his portal Nekron left Universe 15 unwilling to fight me alone. Turning around I gave the public the same smile I gave Nekron I saw the civilians smile with relief as they felt safe. Walking forward to the line of people waiting to receive treatment I used my magic and White Lantern Ring to heal people. Getting through the line of people in a few minutes, due to healing groups at a time, I headed over to my girlfriends who looked drained. Elbowing All Might, Melissa pointed at me with a grin.

"Haha!", All Might laughed, "Excellent work Young Clark!! That is exactly how a Hero should be!!"

"Thanks All Might, also thank you to the rest of you that came out to assist.", I said bowing my head to the Heroes.

"It's no trouble.", Shazam (New Earth) said flexing his muscles, "Always happy to help out."

"You only carried boxes...don't act like you actually fought.", Wonder Woman (Universe 15) sighed.

"She's right Shazam, no need for show boating.", Wonder Woman (New Earth) said.

Sighing he nodded his head, and shook hands with me. Turning to Nezu I apologized for calling for aide so suddenly. Telling me not to worry about it, he looked over towards the refugees.

"There is no need to apologize, you were only doing what a Hero should do.", Nezu said, "You have certainly shown tonight that you are truly worthy of your International Hero License."

"International Hero License..?", the JLA members and Villains asked looking at us.

"Oh gosh...", I groaned, "Not this again..."
