Luthor then pressed two fingers to his right ear before attempting to call the rest of the members of their small group "Hello! We require backup, I repeat we need backup."
"Roger that, we'll be there in ten!"
The bald hero cut the connection, before looking at Superman and noticed him still staring at the wall. He cleared his throat to catch the kryptonian's attention. Superman averted his gaze from the wall and towards his companion "Yeah, what is it?"
"Backup will be here in ten." Superman nodded in understanding once more, allowing Luthor to continue speaking. "Well then let's go ahead."
Both men flew through the giant hole as they made their way towards the theoretical start of the destruction. Superman kept his vision trained ahead of him, almost as if he were concentrating on something whilst the bald hero besides him could not help but whistle at the sheer destruction surrounding them. Every room they had passed through so far had been the same, there was a massive trench that had been melted into the ground and the roof leaving sparking wires to be exposed. They continued to fly in silence until they reached the starting room of the destruction.
Superman landed and acted as if he had seen everything, and he had with his x-ray vision. Luthor on the other hand was in shock. His eyes darted all over the room as they took in every small detail. He noted that the walls had cracks in them, with the roof once again missing for some odd reason.
Luthor also noted the unconscious forms of Johnny Quick and Power Ring on the floor and wall respectively but there was no sign of Owlman or Ultraman. His eyes then landed on the two forms in the middle of a make-out session in the middle of the room.
The leader of the Justice League in this universe instantly recognized the black corset that was worn by none other than Superwoman, however the other man was a mystery. There had been no info on a lean and tall red-haired man, dressed in a bright orange martial arts gi with a blue undershirt, wristbands and boots. 'I wonder who he is?' thought Luthor, eyeing the mysterious male."It seems you have found yourself a new boy toy already Mary?" the sound of his voice was enough to make them separate quickly from each other and face him. He noted the furious blush on the female whilst the male had a foolish grin.
Superwoman attempted to recompose herself whilst the mysterious man just continued grinning with his hand on his neck."I know, isn't he handsome?" she smirked towards a flustered Goku who looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"Don't play games with me Mary. I want you to show me the weapon that caused that!"replied Luthor, pointing at the large hole that stretched all the way out of the base. A cold wind rushed within the room as he spoke, carrying ash and smoke along with it, before rustling loose paper along with dust on the floor.
Superwoman opened her mouth to retort when Goku beat her to it "That was me, I didn't mean to. I got too excited and used too much power."
Luthor raised a brow quizzically, before he looked at the silent Superman,"He's telling the truth, his heartbeat stayed regular when he was talking."
"And what happened to them?" inquired the gold clad superhero as he motioned to the bodies of Johnny Quick and Power Ring,
"I knocked them out when I was fighting their entire team."
Luthor raised an eyebrow in disbelief, his mind refusing to believe such tales "What about Ultraman and Owlman, surely they must have tried to stop you?
"Oh well see the thing is..."
"He killed them both. Ultraman was using kryptonite as well which makes it even more amazing, and he vaporized Owlman with some blue beam conjured from his hands as well." boasted Superwoman whilst cutting Goku off. She grabbed his free hand, interlocking it within hers, before sidling up close to him once more.
"How could you do such a thing!?" exclaimed Superman, taking a step towards Goku, eyes furrowed in fury "You didn't have to kill them!"
"YOU killed Ultraman!?" asked a shocked Luthor, as he looked at Goku who had his gaze averted to the ground, which just raised Luthor's curiosity as to who Goku truly was.
"I didn't want to. I gave him a chance to walk along the path of good, but he just threw it back in my face." the bald hero then watched as Superwoman of all people show compassion as she placed her hand delicately on the cheek of the man who had supposedly killed Ultraman, and give him a smile which he replicated.
"Who gave you the right to kill him though? He had to face judgement for his crimes." retorted a furious Superman, hands clenched tightly by his sides.
"I saw the things he had done. The number of innocents he had ordered to be killed and his plans to enslave other universes. I couldn't allow such a person to walk free, and so I had to kill him." Superman lost all rational thought and launched himself at Goku with a yell. He moved quickly as he covered the distance between themselves in the blink of an eye.
Superman noticed his targets mouth move quickly followed up by Superwoman levitating a small distance to the side as he cocked his fist back and threw it forward in a hay maker towards Goku's cheek, and he felt it connect with a resounding 'BOOM' accompanied by a bright light. He smirked confidently thinking he had done it until he attempted to withdraw his fist only to fail.
Superman gasped as the light died down to show his fist enclosed by his opponent's hand, his eyes widened involuntarily at what he saw "Was that it? I was expecting more." taunted Goku upon noticing Superman's expression
"Grr I'll show you."growled Superman as he attempted a punch with his free hand that Goku dodged by releasing his captured hand, following this Clark launched into a flurry of fast moving punches and a few kicks however they were dodged easily "Stand still damn it!"
Goku in response just chuckled as he continued to dodge the sloppy punches, "You have power behind your punches, but you lack the training to make them effective. When you punch you leave yourself open, like so..."commented Goku, dodging a punch before countering with a hard punch to Superman's sternum making him release a combination of air and spittle out of his mouth. The saiyan watched as he took a few uncoordinated steps backwards, gasping for air whilst clutching his stomach in pain.
It was at this moment that backup decided to arrive, in a sleek black jet that entered through the opening in the wall. It landed and thus allowed its passengers to disembark. The cargo door opened to allow the passengers to disembark. A red blur whizzed from the ship and stopped besides Luthor to reveal the Flash, Green Lantern levitated through the open cargo bay door, followed closely by Wonder-woman who walked down the ramp before making her way towards her companions. They were simple greetings passed around between the Justice League members and Luthor, until they noticed Goku standing over Superman who was clutching his stomach in obvious pain.
"Who's that guy?" commented the Flash, unknowingly asking the question on everyone's mind.
"That guy is responsible for that!"replied Luthor, pointing to the massive hole in the opposite wall "…and according to Mary he knocked out those two, vaporized Owlman and Ultraman before tousling briefly with Superman." He continued while motioning to the bodies of Johnny Quick and Power Ring.
"I find that hard to believe." commented Green Lantern, snorting slightly in disbelief.
"Well the evidence is there as you can see." pointed out Luthor as he indicated towards a downed Superman, who was slowly getting back to his feet with an angry expression etched on his face.
