Omega Protocol : Epilogue

[The Last Czarnian]

The damage was extensive. As the pale bounty hunter looked onward in the distance at the smoldering battlefield that was Washington DC, he reached in and fished out a cigar from his pocket before lighting it. Walking down a destroyed street the piles of parademon bodies he smiled happily at the site of all the destruction. Upon seeing a destroyed limo the alien sat down on the reclined damaged roof while enjoying his cigar. He was tired, worn, and dirty which was nothing out of the ordinary for him.  

[Talon_TheNew52]

Rose returned to Gotham in a helicopter provided by Lex Luthor or rather President Luthor.Finally making it back he headed to the headquarters of the Court Of Owl to speak with the leading talon at the time."Rose thanks to your participation in the battle against Darkseid we maybe able to receive assistance from Luthor in our plans for Gotham.....""Well I tried my bes....."Then suddenly he was cut off.".......But for not taking the Batman out when you had the chance or even had just let him rocket down to his impending doom you will be put on ice for a month..."".....How did you kn....""...We have Talons everywhere and did really think we would leave you unwatched...""...But..""..But nothing Talons take him..."Commanded the leading Talon.  

[Akuma Hirushima Hellblaze]

Doctor Vifo Vya

Akuma growled in frustration. "You're usefulness is shrinking more and more doctor, I don't want to hear excuses. Find him! Use every spell, charm and incantation you can conjure! I want him found! Dead or Alive!" Akuma's wings appeared as he flew towards another section of Ground zero to assist in the search. He was desperate to find Kruger; if he was gone...everything that Akuma had done up to now would have been pointless.

Doctor Vifo Vya

Akuma Hirushima Hellblaze

The closer she approached to the location of what was left of the tower that had crumbled, the louder she could hear the irritated voice barking orders towards someone. The picture became clearer as she watched from her spell cloaked position as two noticable individuals came into view. Recognizing the winged man who had been fighting Wonder Woman and Cheetah earlier. The other was some witch doctor she recalled fighting against back in New Orleans before all hell broke loose. Snatching a hold of her communicator badge then, she idly rubbed the crest before turning it on to contact anyone left within the area on a secure channel. "Not to burst anyone's bubble, there's still movement down here at what's left of the tower. Apparently it's Kruger's commanders, searching the rubble for Kruger himself. Should this be something we need to concern ourselves over?" Sensing that several of the league's magic based users had already left the playing field. Traci could not shake the fact that something horrible could evolve from these characters wandering around the burning wasteland. While others were celebrating, retreating to safer ground there were those who remained behind to make sure that everything was right in the world before departing the playing field.  

[Celia Redfield]

"Urrgh..." Celia groaned miserably as she trudged through the wrecked streets of Washington DC. She didn't know where she was going, it was difficult to tell, all the ruined buildings and piles of rubble looked the same. But what she did know was that she had to get as far away from the city as possible. To find a place where she could rest safely. The mental encounter she'd had with the martian did more than make her miss out on the fight, it left her feeling sluggish, disoriented. And perhaps the worst of all, it left her with the most wretched headache she'd ever had in her life. However her headache became the least of her problems as she heard the sound of a familiar voice near by.

Peaking out from behind the corner of a building she would discover a group of Templar soldiers searching amongst the wreckage, being led by none other than 'Doctor' Vifo Vya. "He's still alive!?" she whispered to herself in disgust. Out of all of those who could have fallen in battle, she had wished for him to die the most, besides Kruger that is. Less than eager to stick around and find out what they were up to Celia quietly slipped away to continue on her way out of the city.

After a long, dull stretch of desolate scenery she stumbled upon something else she was less than thrilled to see. It was the remains of one of the many, massive towers Darksied had erected in his attempt to destroy the earth. Cautiously moving through the tower Celia caught a glimpse of something unusual mixed in with the rubble out of the corner of her eye. Curious, she moved in for a closer look, only to find something that struck true fear into her...

Curious, she moved in for a closer look, only to find something that struck true fear into her...

Right across from Celia was the body of the Templar leader, Kristov Kruger, laying face down in the rubble. He laid motionless, seemingly dead; this was even more apparent due to the fact that he was missing the entire lower half of his body, thanks to the actions of a certain Green Lantern. As the shocked and terrified Celia got closer and closer to the body, every other step her heart would skip a beat. As Celia crouched down in front of the body to get closer look, suddenly the arm shot up and gripped her by the neck tightly and pulled her close, and it drew her as close as possible the head lifted and through the damaged helmet, Celia could the the half exposed face of Kruger looking at her with rage and confusion, growling like a wild animal. At this point Kruger would have snapped her neck but as fast as the moment happened it ended as Kruger quickly passed out yet again.

"Not to burst anyone's bubble, there's still movement down here at what's left of the tower. Apparently it's Kruger's commanders, searching the rubble for Kruger himself. Should this be something we need to concern ourselves over?"

Green Arrow stood amongst the rubble on the ground, with his partner Speedy as well as his best friend Hal Jordan, a fellow Green Lantern. He craned his head directly in the direction over at Hal Jordan's communication badge hearing a plea for assistance. Looking away from Hal and over at his partner Speedy who was exhausted from the battle. Hell! They all were. Hard to keep your game on when you don't exactly have super powers. That of course never stopped him before. But even Oliver had to admit, he was not just physically exhausted he was mentally exhausted. Debating on just walking away since he no longer associated himself with the league. There was a part of him that just could not turn down a request for help. "Well, what do you say Hal? Speedy? One more round before calling it a day?" Oliver would fuss later over his injuries. Right now, he did not exactly feel like leaving someone calling for help, behind. Reaching down for his quiver, along with several of his retrieved arrows in hand, he made an executive decision without really allowing Speedy that much of a say in the matter. Covered in battle wounds, his outfit torn and worn in certain areas, but it mattered not. One more round before calling it a day.

The Green Lantern checked his ring's status. With the bulk of the Lanterns on crowd control, they had exhausted a large portion of their resources keeping the fight as contained as possible. The ring spoke in an almost soothing voice, "Power levels at 22 percent. Recommended for rechar--," it added before Hal could cut it off. "Good enough for now," Hal said as he nodded toward his fellow green-clad companion. All the years Hal had fought alongside the League, if there was anyone else who would charge in without a second thought other than Jordan, it was always the Arrow. And other than Barry, one of the few that he would fly beside without delay. "Ring's got enough juice in it to keep whatever bugs that creep has at bay. Let's bring this jackass down, once and for all."  

[Halys Circus]

After the battling war in Washington D.C., Nightwing found himself walking around in the streets of the destroyed city. The world looked to see another day as he looked up to the bright sun in the sky. He glanced over to his cycle that'd been laying down next to some more debris. He walked over feeling some effect to what had happened to him. What was next for him, maybe head back to Gotham to make sure everything was right with Haly's. Just then his comm-link began to read into some radio feeds he had hacked in to know everything going on in Gotham. Sounded like Clayface was out again. "Hero time." the last of the Flying Grayson's said. He picked up his cycle and reeved the engines, soon he took at 75mph and headed to Gotham.  

[LexCorp CEO]

Dr Amanda Blake Waller

LexCorp CEO

Location: LexCorp Tower, temporary headquarters of the United States Government



Lex Luthor stood in his old office in LexCorp Tower looking down at the crowd that assembled. He began to sweat as he made his way to the elevator to go down to the lobby and speak not only to this crowd that had assembled, but also to the entire world. He was now a hero in their eyes. Humanity’s savior. The one thing he had always wanted, by completing a feat that even the Justice League had difficult doing.

As he made his way into the lobby, he was surrounded by secret service as the elevator door opened and he stepped out. He was immediately blinded by the flash bulbs of cameras by reporters as he tried to make his way to the podium. “5 minutes Mr. President!” one of his assistance shouted at him before giving him his queue to step outside onto the stage and podium. He wiped the sweat from his brow with his hand and began to straighten his tie before the queue was given to play ‘Hail to the Chief’ then Luthor took the stage steps and walked outside to the crowd which erupted in cheering like he was some kind of rockstar when they saw him. He smiled and waved to the crowd as he made his way to the podium and began to speak with much vigor and charisma.


“My fellow Americans and citizens around the world, today marks the end of an era of Tyranny and Destruction. We have been faced with our own mortality and stared into the abyss of oblivion and the eye of extinction, and prevailed victoriously and united in spirit. This day is a testament to the iron will of the human race and spirit. For we have the audacity to tell those who wish harm and enslave us to say ‘we won’t back down. We will not sacrifice freedom and liberty for tyranny and slavery!’”

We have faced a foe unlike any other, and fought a war like any other. And we have then we have heroes…”

Then the crowd erupted as they heard the word heroes, then they started chanting “Luthor! Luthor! Four more years!”

“Thank you thank you!” he said as he motioned the crowd for them to let him finish his speech. “It is with great reluctance, that I accept this calling and role as a national hero. It wasn’t an easy task, but my resolve should be a testament and an example by banishing the menace known as Darkseid, and saving the life Superman, that humanity is capable of doing anything if we have the will to do so! Never again will I, or any other human will be enslaved or our God given rights be infringed upon again. We have the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness. Today also marks a time of rebuilding and healing. It will not be an easy road ahead, for we have lost much. But united in spirit we can overcome and rebuild! Let today mark a new era, of a humanity united in spirit can overcome anything and everything in its way! Nothing can or will stop us!”

The crowd erupted again with thunderous applause and cheering as he finished his speech. He waved and smiled to the crowd as he made his way back inside LexCorp Tower to the elevator which took him back to his office.

Vice president Waller was there to witness President Luthor's moment of triumph. She watched as the masses celebrated and gave the President the respect and adoration he deserved. This was a moment that would live in the hearts and minds of the citizens of the United States Of America and the World forever. She made sure all media outlets kept replaying the last minutes of Darkseid's defeat. She made sure that most of the Justice League efforts were put to the back as Luthor was put out front. Everything was going according to plan. soon after the Meta-Human Registration act was passed. Then They could proceed with what was her true goal. Complete control of the meta-human population and the world! Now they needed one thing to occur..something to tip the balance and bring the public out in protest against the meta-human population. The invasion by Darkseid and his Dark Templars only helped to push the public opinion of President Luthor in his favor, but there were other things moving behind the scenes. Amanda Waller was fully aware of this. her ultimate goals were to be soon realized, and once she set these events in motion..Nothing would stop them. She waled into President Luthor's office and smiled as she spoke

"Congratulations Mr,President. All power has been returned to you. Any and all emergency acts have been rescinded. I have taken care to make sure all news reports of this victory have been tilted in your favor Sir. Your ratings are at an all time high, public approval is at 90% and rising. I am making other preparations to have the meta-Human act passed. This invasion could not have happened at a more opportune time Mr. President. While I hate to leave the celebrations earlier. I do have other matters to attend to Sir. I will be in touch if you need me Mr. President."

She then turned and left his office. As two of her personal secret service/agents waited for her outside the door. She told then to get her transport ready as they were departing Lexcorp tower and headed to her own secret base

"Excellent Amanda, all is going according to plan" Luthor as he took his office chair and sat down and turned to his view of the skyline of Metropolis and starred out at it. After awhile a communications alert came in from his old friend Calculator..


"Hiya Lex, there has been an unauthorized upload to LexCorp Satellite LX-053. There is also a Transmission in there that you might want to see. Accessible with only your access code and a retina scan. I've tried 50 billion ways to get around it, but I can't do it"

Lex quickly grabbed a laptop computer in his desk to investigate this strange satellite ordeal. His computer scanned his eye then suddenly his entire office went black with no power. Or so it seemed. Then video footage appeared of a familiar face...his future self! The one that was on the battlefield at DC and the same Luthor that took his place while being captured and eventually rescued.


"Well, hello old friend. Surely by now I've caught your attention. Unfortunately, I cannot stay to see through your presidency.But I have something for you that will serve you well in the coming days ahead. Do not worry you haven't seen the last of me" then shortly the video transmission ended.

Then suddenly Luthor's holographic emitters in his office came on and displayed a holographic projection with complete technical specifications of the contents inside Darkseid's Tower in the Armory due to the scans future Luthor did while he was escaping capture. All of this information was uploaded by his future self to allow his present self to reap the benefits Luthor now had access to Apokoliptian technology. But that wasn't all, one of the emitters also displayed proposed upgrades for his current sets of battle armor as well as plans for new ones. This was Christmas for Luthor. It would take years to reverse engineer Apokoliptian technology such as weapons. But no matter, this was another feather in Luthor's cap.

Smiling, went to his office phone and contacted one of his assistants "Send in my new associate..."  

[Dr Amanda Blake Waller]

After she arrived at her secret location. She told her meta-human agents not to disturb her for awhile as she entered into her private office. It was very dimly lit and as the doors shut. She sensed someone was in her office and she knew who it was. As she stood a ways from the visitor as he sat in the dark. She grimaced and then smiled as she asked him

"Well what do I owe the pleasure of this visit? I am not going to ask how you got in here. As I know you have your ways of coming and going. so..What do you want?"

The Visitor said nothing at first, but tapped his finger nails along the arm of the chair in which he was sitting. His silhouette image remained in the dark and his face could not be seen. she could feel him sitting their smiling and his aura gave off something quite sinister. He began to open his mouth to speak but he paused for a moment, as he knew that he made her uncomfortable. His head tilted to the side as he spoke "My,my, my Amanda, you have been very naughty as of late. I have been looking over your secret files and you do have allot of leverage over many a criminal and hero on this world. Very impressive I must say."

Amanda Waller smiled slightly as she turned toward the visitor and she replied
" Well in my work, It's important for me to be able to have such control over others. That's how I stay ahead of the game. Now why are you here? I told you before that I would need more time."

The Visitor smiled an evil grin and said "I am well aware of that Vice-President Waller. Did I not make it possible for Your man Lex Luthor to gain the Presidency of this country? Did I not engineer certain events in your favor to be able for the people of this nation to fall under his spell like lambs. Power such as mine has not been witnessed on this world...However, a bargain was struck between us. I need that artifact! Without it, My Associates plans can not come to fruition."

Amanda Waller turned towards him saying

"I know that, but if this artifact is where you claim it is. How can I get into the magical sanctuary of Furious Styles? That's Impossible! I thank you for revealing the Green Mist's true identity. I have no idea how you found this information out, as we have been trying for years to discover who he truly was. Still, If his sanctuary is protected as you claim it to be. With powers such as yours, how come you can't just go in there and get it yourself?"


The Visitor smiled even more as he stood for a moment, still in the shadows and then his expression turned to a scowl as he answered "Because it is protected by many powerful white magical wards and it is also Holy ground. A place that I can not enter at this moment. However if You follow my complete instructions, there may be a way to get what My associates need. Time is running out Amanda. We need that artifact!"

Amanda Waller felt a chill go over her as her eyes widened and then she took a step back as she could feel an ominous chill go down her spine

The Visitor sat back down in the darkness and only his smile could be seen and he spoke "So Amanda it is time to do what you promised...My Associates are waiting patiently."

"I need that artifact! Get it, and do not fail me! It's time to set this in motion.I will be watching and waiting..." He smiled once more and then he suddenly faded from sight as he vanished from the room




Vice-President Waller then looked around the room, and the evil presence was not there anymore. she stood and looked off into the dark room. knowing that she had to complete this task. She then pushed a button on a console and spoke
"Agent Rafferty, I need you to get in touch with Senator Williams. Inform him that he will need to get legislation on the meta-human act moving faster. Tell him after next week, the catalyst he will need to have Congress approve it will be happening very soon. Tell him to be prepared."
She then sat down in her seat and poured a glass of water and took a drink and shook her head from side to side. What she had planned for the act that would put the nations opinion against meta-humans, would put this nation, and possibly the world on a path of no return and gain her control of the meta-human population  

[Sonic Cry]

Standing off in the distance, covered by a thick shroud of smoke was the silhouetted shadow of a figure. With the spray of several fire hydrant's water hitting along the side of a ruin. The identity of this figure remained hidden for the time being. Observing in silence for now, by remaining off radar from wandering eyes.  

[The White Duke of Death]

Down in the sewers under gotham, mumbling could be heard, along with the sounds of someone dragging something along with them. "Damn this place has gotten messy! And it wasn't because of me! I've been enjoying playing the house of cards that is politics and this is what happens when I hang out with a different group of clowns for less than a few weeks! Disappointing! Revolting! They did it completely wrong! If I had a word with that rock monster I'd say-ugh come on Jeffrey you're slacking behind!" The figure was lugging what appeared to be a damaged offline parademon with two knives in the eyes and missing most of its lower body. "You and me Jeffrey! We're gonna show these amateurs how your REALLY F*ck with people's minds!" The figure began to giggle before humming a tune.
"Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me
'Cause we need a little, controversy
'Cause it feels so empty, without me
I said, "This looks like a job for me"
So everybody, just follow me
'Cause we need a little, controversy
'Cause it feels so empty, without me~

Guess who's back
Back again
J is back
Tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back~ heeeheeehahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"  

[Flannery Aurora]

Darkness Yatomo stood in what use to be the Mayor's office of Gotham city, looking out at all the mess and needless destruction that had been caused to the city. to think, she went through all that work to take over the whole city, and hardly a month or two the place was already ruined. It really was a pity, but now however, she had an even bigger opportunity to rebuild the place with a few minor changes to her own liking.
"Lenny." Darkness beckoned, looking over her shoulder to look at the eight foot tall monstrosity that was her seemingly human bodyguard. "Give out the order to repair the city immediately, I'd like it standing tall and strong again as soon as possible, but be sure to leave open invitations to the rest of our brothers and sisters to take take the places of the ones we have lost. Gotham is still ours, and I would like to keep it that way. But keep it subtle, I'd like to keep the capes blind to our inhabitants." Waving her hand in dismissal, Lenny would simply disappear to set out and spread the invitations, while giving orders to the rest to begin cleaning and rebuilding. Everything had been hit hard, but having thousands of possessed humans working day and night, it wouldn't take long for Gotham to recover.  

[Traci Thirteen]

Traci had not heard anyone respond to her calling yet and this bothered her a great deal. ~I don't want to be wrong! I don't want to leave without further investigating this.. this... thing that was once under command of Darkseid. I would truly hate for the Justice League to ignore a threat that's still about. Someone please tell me I'm wrong in thinking this!~ Her thoughts hovered about in the air like static. The only mind within the area that might have heard her would have been Martian Manhunter Jonzz. ~I feel as if I'm about to do something stupid by going in alone. But then later I will forever hate myself by turning my back on what I consider to be a threat! I know this guy isn't Darkseid! Dammit! He worked for that wanna-be-evil-god!~ The waiting for someone to respond to her calling did bother her. The fact that none of the Sentinels heard her, bothered her as well. Speaking under her breath as she fought off the chills, "Time to make a decision Trace. Go on in and deal with regrets later. Maybe by some slim chance someone heard your call. In the mean time, this guy needs to die a thousand deaths for the hell he rained down upon every innocent that perished. And if anyone is found helping this monster, Kruger? They will perish too. I will not show them any mercy!" With her decision made, she moved from her position heading directly over to where Kruger was located. Still covering Traci Thirteen was a spell she had cast a while ago. A protective shield spell, while the other was an invisible shroud that draped around her body like a veil allowing her to camouflage perfectly in with her environment.
