Apokolips

King Durran and his elite forces stormed the palace of Darksied, taking down his Parademons and Female Furies, who fought fircely for each corridor. It was clear that they had been expected. But the Paladins were all coated in Plot Armour and were armed with blades that were as sharp as the story needed them to be, and they hewed through the opposing forces with ease.

Thrawn had warned them of Darksied's possible ambushes, and had told the King that he had sent Orion and Squirrel Girl to spring the traps before the main assault began. King Durran thanked him silently as forces continued to surge through the halls, overcoming the automated guns and blast doors that stood in their way. Finally, they busted into Darksied's throne room.

There, they found the Ruler of Apokolips already dead, with Orion and Squirrel Girl figthing Kalibak, Darksied's other son who belonged to the forces of evil, and Granny Goodness, head of the Female Furies. Acting quickly, King Durran ordered his Paladins to form a circle around the figthers, and to ready their powers.

"One...two...three - Flame Salvo!" Jets of fire emanated from the Paladins' blades and engulfed Kalibak and Granny Goodness, thus ending the fight. Orion and Squirrel Girl said hurried thanks.

"Now," said Orion. "I can take my rightful place as Ruler of Apokolips, and transform it into a fairer, better world. Thank you, King Durran."

"That was a great fight!" said Squirrel Girl. "Didn't expect this sort of victory, didn't you?"

"No, not really." said King Durran. "Thank you. Even though your sector of the Multiverse is also suffering from the Multiverse Lords, you still chose to aid us."

"It's nothing," said Squirrel Girl. "Anyway, I brought something for you." She then got out a Cosmic Cube.

"But, won't that only work in your Universe?" said King Durran.

"I know," said Squirrel Girl. "But I'm sure that Makes-Things and your other Inventors can devise a way to make it work in this dimesnion as well."

"That's a good idea," said King Durran. "Very smart. I'll send it to them right away."

"Thanks!" said Squirrel Girl.

The Dark King's Labyrinth

The Dark King of the Multiverse raged and howled for the better part of the day. Why did he not complete the extermination of Earth (DC)? Or better yet, why did he not leave a force to keep them enslaved and keep out enemy operatives?

On a whim, he transported himself to the ruins of Legal. The Flowers that had staffed it were among the first to vanish during his Invasion of HQ, and the Dark King had feared that they would launch a counterstroke against him one day. It seemed that day had come and gone without him knowing.

He howled again, raging and fuming. Returning to the Dark Observatory (what was once the Intelligence department), he began to inspect his dominions.

On the Warhammer 40000 universe, the Mary Suetopia of Ultramar had launched a Sapphire Crusade against Chaos Emperor Abbadon, who now reigned upon Terra thanks to his aid.

At the same time, the Darklords of Ravenloft were being overthrown by League of Mary Sue Factories-backed operatives. The Dark Powers that backed them were also being sent holwing, especially when Suevian artifacts such as the Tenth Millenium Item were deployed.

In Dark Sun, a way to acess Arcane Magic without deatroying the plant life had been found, thanks to the influence of more Suevian artifacts.

And of course, the world of Shadowrun was turned over its head as the Mega-Corps were dismantled and a new, democratic government was installed.

The Dark King's first impulse was to rage further, but then an idea came to him. Of course! The New Multiverse Freedom League was only one-half of his problems. He had been focusing on it because of its leader's claim to his throne, but that only distracted him from the damage done by the Yarrow and the LMSF. Now he knew where to hurl his forces.

He then portaled in another set of champions, and began barking orders at them. This war wasn't over yet, not by a long shot...
