Apokolips Cometh part 1
🕑 Added 2022-03-31 10:52:20 +0000 UTCThe idea was simple: I watched Justice League Dark: Apokolips War while exploring of genderbending of Justice League heroes. I found out that there is an official multiverse world called Earth-11 where our superhuman idols, especially the DC Trinity, are the gender-swapped version of themselves.
I wonder what would happen if things go as bad in that universe? Darkseid would invade, but I’m sure the Lady of Apokolips would have extra kinkiness to spice up her subjugation effort.
Somehow, the fanfic extended itself too long. I gotta split it into two parts with equal goodness!
Note: inspired by Dan Mora’s rendition of DC tokusatsu, I decided to make the Earth-11 heroes have a similar vibe in their costumes. For example, Powerboy (male Powergirl) has a Sentai helmet and a slightly-armored costume.

Apokolips cometh!
“I want to make this perfectly clear,” said Superwoman after shocking the heroes present in the Justice League Watchtower assembly with images of planets conquered by Lady Darkseid. Thousands of bloody dead bodies littered the cities of alien worlds. Hellish Parademons screeched as they patrolled the burning sky, some snacking on unfortunate victims. Silhouettes of the dreaded Furies continue the massacre of powerless survivors against the background of devastating metropolises. “We are facing an existential threat to the planet. We can not let Darkseid make the first move. We have to attack.”
Everyone was silent, even the previously doubtful Jesse Quick. Then, Cyborg broke the silence with her stern voice. “It’s a tough job. The place will be jam-packed with Parademons.”
Batwoman pointed to the hologram of such a monstrous creature courtesy of Darkseid’s torture factory. Muscular build, armored, and armed literally to its humungous teeth. The Parademons may inspire the description of Satan himself in Earth’s historical lore. “The League’s faced them before. We know that these are their weak spots.”
“This is madness. We can’t risk an all-out war against Darkseid,” blurted Aquawoman by stomping her trident. “At least, we should send an envoy to Apokolips to know-”
“NO!” barked Superwoman as she punched a control panel to oblivion. “Darkseid created a demon that nearly destroyed me. What chance does humanity have against her if she invades? This isn’t up for discussion. We’re going to stop Darkseid once and for all.”
“We won’t ask you to do more than we do,” added toned Wonder Man in his silver and red costume.
“Here’s how we’re going to do it,” explained Batwoman. “The main team will attack through this entryway to Apokolips. In the meantime, the Titans will safeguard the Earth. We’re going to do an interdimensional jump to get close to it and sneak our way to Lady Darkseid’s palace. With her Furies and Parademons off-world, Darkseid will be vulnerable.
Everyone paid attention to the laid-out plan, including Cyborg who unbeknownst to the heroes, had been hijacked by the Lady of Apokolips. Darkseid had been made aware of the attack even before it was launched. A smirk grew on the dark goddess’ lips.
Powerboy saw the League’s departure. Three Javelin spaceships left the Watchtower toward the orbit of Mars. His helmet visor reflected the warp jump’s short flicker. The young superhero sighed. “Was it really worth it to make war like this?”
“The real question should be ‘Was it really worth it not to take the living fortress Powerboy along’?” said the voice from the com radio. That was someone Powerboy knew so well.
“If it isn’t Aquagirl,” snorted Powerboy before the face of the Atlantean girl appeared in the helmet interior. “I don’t why I got stuck with you.”
“Not just her. With me too,” added the other face that appeared. That was a boy with a slightly-messy hair like Powerboy himself. His suit was black with sparkles like the night sky. “Say hello to Wonderous Boy!”
“I thought you hate that name,” commented Powerboy while crossing his arms on the bulky manboobs. The weird window gave anyone thirsty enough a glimpse of his breathtaking pecs.
“Well, today’s gonna be the end of the world. I can’t think of other times to enjoy it.”
“So, what now?” asked Kid Quick. The non-binary’s face was as tanned as Aquagirl. “We’re just gonna wait?”
“Well, back to business I guess. Fighting boring crime and whatnot,” said the other voice. This time, it felt closer. Another figure joined Powerboy in the vacuums of space. It was Supergirl. “Haha, don’t worry, the big guys will clean up Apokolips in no time-”
The sky erupted. Another celestial body appeared behind the Moon. It was big, fiery with hellish pits and jagged with black superstructures. It was Apokolips.
“Oh god,” gasped the shocked Powerboy. “Teen Justice, get ready!”
The Watchtower entered an emergency mode. Roars of siren blared the corridors with reddish hue of spinning lights. “Already at it. Let me scan that thing,” said Robin as she took over the headquarter’s system. “Shit, it’s big. Bigger than the Moon itself! It’s… It’s gonna wreck the Moon!”
“No, it won’t! Supergirl, are you with me?” asked Powerboy. The Kryptonian hybrid girl nodded. “We’re gonna stop the apocalypse!”
The two alien heroines darted across the Earth-Moon orbit faster than any human spaceship technology. While the rest of their team got stuck in the Watchtower due to their need for oxygen, the two became the first line of planetary defense against this eldritch invasion.
Apokolips’ massive bulk grew bigger as the girls flew closer. It also became hazier with thin cloud of dust. Supergirl gasped as she realized that wasn’t a cloud at all.
“Parademons!” she called out.
But Powerboy’s supervision caught a better glance of the creatures. A swarm of heavy-bodied monsters wearing crimson colors. Their faces… He wouldn’t forget those faces. It gave him a traumatic callback to the moments when Superwoman was on her knees. “Doomsday?” uttered the muscular hero.
The Kryptonians heard the Paradooms’ scream in radio frequency. It was loud. Thousands of them flew across the vacuum toward Earth. They shouldn’t be let to reach mankind’s homeworld. “We gotta intercept them!” cried out Supergirl.
Without warning, her eyes glowed with a laser blast. Double beams of destructive energy streaked toward the front end of the Paradoom swarm.
“Uh oh,” mumbled Powerboy before he too blasted the coming demons with his laser vision.
Normally, such an attack could topple skyscrapers and even stopped a meteor. This time, it didn’t do any good. The blasts simply bounced off the Paradoom’s armor. “Watch out!”
The swarm engulfed the two. Supergirl tried her best to fend off the blows and bludgeoning attacks, but they all hurt. The young heroine screamed in pain as she desperately tried to launch her own attack.
Her jab hit one of the Paradooms, yet it meant nothing. The scared Supergirl watched as the demon grabbed her arm and crushed it. Not too strong to break her bones, but still giving her a very bad day. Her eyes glowed and luckily it hit the Doom’s own eyes. The monster roared in pain and let go of her.
But Supergirl’s relief was short-lived as another Paradoom tackled her at high speed. It sent her to a waiting second monster with a fist ready. The Kryptonian vomited her breakfast as her abs were hit by the clenched hand.
“Supergirl!” Powerboy’s fight was somewhat better. He managed to land some punches on the Paradooms before narrowly avoiding their fatal counterattacks. He was after all the more experienced and senior of the Teen Justice team. But fighting alone was never the best option.
Powerboy darted toward the strangled Supergirl. His fist struck the previously-laughing monster. He wouldn’t let his little sister be a victims of these abominations.
Little that Powerboy knew, he was being toyed with by the swarm. As he fought a small number of Paradooms, the rest observed their fight from a distance like a living cage. Then, the perimeter opened for Lady Darkseid’s signature warship to hover above.
The city-sized fiendish flying saucer charged its main cannon battery before firing. A hellfire-like energy beam struck the two heroes. Supergirl and Powerboy screeched in pain as their body caught ethereal fire. They wouldn’t die and their wounds would easily heal, but the agony pierced their souls.
What was left were two smoldering unconscious superhumans that the Paradooms easily grab to bring back to their master. Apokolips’ hellish landscape grew closer and closer, including the thousands of new slaves that Darkseid forced to spend their feeble lives under the command of his new Furies.
But there was something else. Something so horrifying that prompted the young heroes to debate their next decision.
“We gotta warn everyone,” heaved Aquagirl. Seeing her mentor turned into a mindless slave of demonic perversion had taken its toll on her, but catching a glimpse of Earth at the wormhole’s end was even more horrifying. “I gotta warn everyone!”
Robin was about to make her argument when the Watchtower command center trembled. “I sense a great evil is coming,” said Klarienne as darkness engulfed the space station. Something massive blocked the sun. It was the Apokoliptian flying saucer, its heart burning with ever-glowing hellfire. The giant war machine approached Earth’s last line of defense.
But it didn’t even need to engage the Justice team. A small swarm of Paradooms would do just fine. Robin controlled the station’s defense system. Just as she predicted, the Kryptonite-based energy cannons were potent to take them down. Too bad that she didn’t have enough to eliminate the swarm.
One by one, the arsenal was destroyed into clouds of floating wreckage in the vacuum. Then, the Paradooms came from the main prize. They clawed their way off the robust Nth metal outer shell. Their failure in penetrating it only resulted in them in becoming more violent and suicidal. When their comrades fell, the other Paradooms took over the job to do damage to the space station.
“It’s not gonna last much longer!” exclaimed Wonderous Boy with concern while listening to the ever-closing rumble. They all felt the thud as the Watchtower shifted orbit.
“What’s going on?” asked Aquagirl as she sensed the motion.
Robin hurriedly went to the console. Her findings shocked her. “We’re losing altitude. Those things are pushing us out of orbit toward Earth.”
“Do you have any idea what would happen if the Watchtower crashed onto our planet?!” exclaimed Klairenne.
“No less than an extinction-level event. You don’t need to tell me twice.” The Girl Wonder used her techno-wizardry to hack into the system. There must be a way to fight these things. Furthermore, there must be a way to still hurt them even when defeat was imminent.
“I’ll go out there,” said Wonderous Boy sternly. He inherited Wonder Man’s ability to kick ass in space.
“Likewise,” replied Klarienne the pale Witch Girl with a nod.
Robin slammed the console. “Can you do it after we crash?”
The simple question shocked everyone. Talia Kane gave her team an awkward giggle. “The system’s fried. The only chance we have with the Watchtower is to crash it on the Moon.”
Everyone was scared. Sweat ran down Wonderous Boy’s temple, but he nodded. “If there’s anyone who can do this, it’s you. I’ll provide cover so that you can divert the station long enough.”
“Got it.”
“Klarienne, Kid Quick, let’s be the welcoming party,” commanded Donny Troy as he hovered. He darted toward the entry corridor with the floating witch girl and dashing speedster before splitting toward their posts.
“This place has water, right? It’ll be enough,” said Aquagirl as she sent blobs of water to form transparent shield around her teammates.
The Paradooms who breached the Watchtower was met with heavy resistance, but they kept on moving forward. Even when the red Kryptonite beam struck them, they continued their advance. Even the best of Earth’s technology infused with Kryptonian and Atlantean gizmos was no match against their powerful aggression and laser eyes.
In some areas, the beams simply cut through the walls like knives through hot butter. An entire section of the Watchtower was separated. Inside was Klarienne.
But then, the space station fired its main engine. “Here we go!” announced Robin as she held on to the console. The massive superstructure fought the swarm’s push toward the Moon. some demons tried to kill the engine fire but got vaporized instead. There was no way that the Justice League’s legacy would cause a global disaster.
The Moon’s gravity took over. The greyish hue slowly turned into a crater-laden landscape of desolation. Then, the Watchtower struck.
The crash was silent. The dust cloud grew beyond anything on Earth could create. Sparks of fire erupted from the broken sections of the space station. The main body rolled and crushed multiple Paradooms. The whole carnage stopped when the Watchtower hit the edge of Tycho Crater.
“Robin, come in,” said the uptight Wonderous Boy to his helmet communicator. There was no response except an unintelligible static. “Robin!”
He walked falteringly on lunar landscape. Around him, the dying explosions and flames were extinguished by the lack of oxygen. But Donny was safe inside his spandex suit.
“Donny? Donny, is that you?” asked another voice to his right. Wondrous Boy observed the coming shape of Jess the speedster.
“Kid Quick, so glad to see you!” exclaimed Donny as he hugged his nonbinary teammate. “Any signs of the others?”
Kid Quick simply shook their head. “I can’t find anyone… Klarienne, Robin, Jacqui, they’re-”
“You can stop worrying about Aquagirl,” announced the third voice in conjunction with a feminine figure’s arrival. It was Aquagirl, still in her jade and azure-colored superheroine spandex suit. Her helmet was battered, but still functional including a pair of small spotlights above the visor.
Somehow, Donny and the other Teen Justice heroes heard a boom in the distance. They suspected the return of Supergirl or Powerboy. A silhouette of someone floated toward them in silence.
No, that was not Laurel or Kyle. That was definitely Wonder Man based on the outline. “Dane!” called out Donny in excitement. It was a relief to meet his mentor in such a dire situation.
But his gladness turned to terror as Wonder Man’s dark form didn’t change even as he came closer and closer. It was as if the superhero was made of black goop in human shape. The sinister symbol in his chest alarmed the Teen Justice.
“You gotta be kidding me,” gasped Kid Quick as he saw Lady Darkseid’s symbol on Wonder Man. it glimmered and spouted out flames as if burning its victim’s chest.
“He’s… He’s been enslaved!”
“Dane, please! Don’t listen to his lies. Leave Darkseid behind and return to us!” cried out Wonderous Boy.
The figure before his team hovered without speaking. It simply disappeared. Moondust exploded around the empty space where Wonder Man was. It also erupted where Wonderous Boy was.
“Donny!” called the weakened Kid Quick. He witnessed everything in slow motion. Wonder Man tackled his own recruit with ferocity and speed. They rolled across the greyish landscape of the dead world, exchanging punches and jabs. Donny was able to kick Dane’s featureless face, but his attempt to make a distance between them was thwarted by the lasso. The young hero heaved as his neck was entangled by the glowing magical rope. From there on, it was nothing but a curb stomp battle.
Wondrous Boy obeyed the lasso’s power, putting a woeful resistance against the corrupted mentor. Wonder Man flipped the Teen Justice hero and trampled the front side of his helmet with his latex-covered boot. Like squeezing a bug, he twisted it until the unholy black goop began to permeate onto Donny’s head.
Kid Quick heard his cry. Exhausted by the crash, the armor and spandex suit was no more useful than a normal spacesuit against the Apokoliptian latex horror. It seeped through the small gaps of his helmet and flooded Wonderous Boy inside out of his costume. He gagged and vomited, but the material kept on coming to drown him. It was a black deluge that entered his mouth and covered his face.
Unbeknownst to him, Aquagirl had suffered the same fate under the hands of Aquawoman. Jacqui’s helmet was removed, but before she could have a painful death in vacuum, Ariel Curry’s blackened hand forced itself into her mouth. From it, the goop invaded the young Atlantean.
Kid Quick was the last. The enslaved Jesse Quick stood behind Jess. Her body was black the same as all the other broken Justice Leaguers, no telling the difference between her tight costume and her helmet. The evil symbol between her busty breast corresponded with the smaller, reversed one that burned her crotch.
Knowing that the battle was already over, the mindless mentor put her groin against Kid Quick’s hardy ass.
The Watchtower exploded around them with megatons of power. A significant portion of the lunar surface was displaced into an ejecta. Its glow could be seen by everyone on Earth as the first clear sign of their doom.
Yet, the enslaved Teen Justice remained. Not even a nuclear-scale explosion to tear through the latex. Wonderous Boy, Kid Quick, and Aquagirl slowly succumb to their final fate as the symbol of Lady Darkseid burned their chests. Of course, the Paradooms also came with beautiful branding irons to seal the deal. No one could hear the Teen Justice’s scream in space.
