DC: I'm The Ultimate Lifeform

Chapter 3: Chapter 3



(A/N: I plan to post 2 chapters every Saturday and Sunday, so I will post two chapters today since the first two chapters were supposed to be on Saturday.)

I watched everyone quickly run away... all by the guy who was super fast since he noticed me. He quickly ran over to try and grab me, but he was too late as a piece of the ceiling fell on my head... just for that piece of the ceiling to break apart, unable to affect me in the slightest. 

"Crap!" He said realizing something, he quickly ran off, dodging all of the falling pieces of the ceiling, and quickly alerted everyone to my existence.

"Why is he naked but you have clothing?" The lasso girl, unable to look at me for long asked. 

"He is something called Ultimate. They used the DNA of Doomsday, along with many other alien races to try and create the Ultimate weapon." the clone said, causing everyone there to grow tense as they all knew Doomsday, the being that almost killed Superman.

I on the other hand got bored of simply looking at them, I floated into the sky, looking at the beautiful full moon in the sky... although I paused seeing as something came flying from the moon. He was joined by many others, and seeing as they were all dressed up like it was Halloween or something, I was guessing they were superheroes. 

The guy dressed as a bat was called Batman... well, everyone knew Superman. I knew Wonder Woman since my wife was a fan of hers... and that was just about everyone I knew. There were at least a dozen of them, and they were all sizing me up and down at the moment, all on high alert.

'They all have some nice abilities.' I thought while eyeing all of them, as I looked at them, I gained the power to transform into them and use all of their powers while at the same time, I adapted to their powers. Without the power to transform, they were stronger than me... but still, they were impressive. 

"Who are you?" Batman asked stepping forward, seeking answers.

"..." I looked at Batman... that was a good question. This was a new life and a new chance for me to be something new and better. What should my new name be?

"I'm... Broly." I said lightly, picking the name to which I had the deepest connection. Broly was one of the templates I had, unlike most of the Templates I held, I connected to Broly the most.

"I wish no problems with you all... good day... good night," I said lightly, not knowing if Good Day would have the same meaning as good night. After all, when you hear good night, the first thing that comes to mind is going to bed.

But that wasn't important right now, I woke up, wanting to leave and explore this new world... but my path was blocked by Superman.

"I understand you just got free, but we can't let you go without ensuring you're not a danger to yourself or others. Come with us, and after everything is clear we can give you an identity." Superman said to which I paused... for I had two options ahead of me.

1. Go with them, and have to keep acting under their rules. No matter what, at the end of the day, I would have to play by their rules if I wanted to walk around freely in this world. They would most likely want to create means to defeat me, which I wanted to avoid.

2. Show them I'm free and don't care for their rules, as for an identity, I could make my own. I needed to put my foot down, for failure to do now when mean my future footsteps wouldn't be as steady.

"I refuse," I said calmly, stunning Superman who wasn't expecting such words. I floated there, looking straight into his eyes, and he matched my gaze.

"We can't let you go," Batman said with narrowed eyes, and honestly, I understood where they were coming from. Would you be able to rest knowing a clone that could be related to Superman was out there doing who knows what? They were making the best move here to try and capture me... but I didn't care, I will not sacrifice my interest for others. Like Rob said, I had been a good kid all my life, it was time for me to be a little bad.

"That sounds like a you problem." Saying that I flew by Superman, but he grabbed my shoulders, putting strength in his arm to stop me.

"Let go... that's your only warning," I said calmly,

"You have to come with us," Superman said seriously, to that I sighed... I would be lying if I said my choices were not being influenced by my templates... I wanted a good fight, and this was something that I couldn't adapt to, 

I turned around and punched Superman in the face... but Superman stood there, not even moving in the slightest by my fist. This shocked me a little, but I expected as much since I scanned him, and knew his current level of power... but did that matter? I could feel it, as my blood pumped, my strength began to start growing at a scary rate.

My second fist, stronger than before, slammed hard into Superman's face, sending him rocketing toward the ground at extreme speed. I shot toward Superman, who quickly dodged while countering, his fist slamming hard into my face. That was a strong fist for it paused me in my attack, but I recovered quickly and threw a counter, just for Superman to dodge and sent me flying with a punch.

Superman quickly shot after me, before punching once more towards my face... but to the shock of everyone there, I caught his fist. I grinned before I punched Superman, sending him rocketing away at extreme speed.

'Broly is overpowered.' I thought sensing my power level which just kept increasing. Broly was a Saiyan. Saiyans had the unique power to grow stronger after healing from an injury... Broly took this to another level as he grew stronger mid-combat.

His power would grow at such a scary rate, that with the right push, one could go from being barely planetary to universal in minutes of battle. Superman was strong, but the rate I grew was nothing he could keep up with.

In just those few seconds, my strength had grown to a level where I could match the current Superman. Of course, this wasn't purely thanks to Broly. 2 other templates helped out. The first being the Omnitrix, and the last being Doomsday... but later on that.

I moved, dodging a silver man with a red atomic symbol that appeared behind me. I dodged his attack, but I was hit from behind by Wonder Woman, sending me rocketing towards the ground. But I flipped, kicking the ground to dodge follow-up attacks from the other heroes, slowly I began to grin seeing all of this.

With a flash, I disappeared punching through a green projection. I moved, dodging a beam from what looked to be a half-machine half-man, before punching my fist hard towards Wonder Woman. But she moved, dodging my attack while countering me, a counter which I barely dodged thanks to her unmatched levels of martial arts, and my little understanding of martial arts. Behind me, a man and woman with hawk wings shot towards me, weapon in hands... but sneak attacks from behind couldn't work twice on me.

I flip backward, dodging both their attacks and Wonder Woman's attack. Grabbing their wings, I slammed the man into Captain Atom, and the other into Green Lantern. Wonder Woman shot towards me, and I dodged, pushing her into the way of a man with a lightning symbol on his chest. He was known as Shazam.

'Martian Manhunter!' Batman called out while looking at the battle, this caused the Martian who was just about to join the battle to freeze while turning to look at Batman.

'He is growing both stronger and more skilled as he fights. look into his mental state.' Batman said to which the one known as Martian Manhunter wasted no time and looked forward.

At that moment, I felt a strong force entering my mind. This caused me to pause for a moment, giving Superman the chance to punch me and send me rocketing toward the ground.

'Stop attacking! He is adapting as he fights, this is like Doomsday all over again... but worse. His strength grows seemly to adapt to all danger, all while he grows immune to all that could harm him.' The Martian Manhunter's voice filled everyone's minds, causing them all to be shocked.

They looked at the dust cloud down below, and there I stood without even a scratch on my body while cracking my neck.

"You're all too weak," I said while I disappeared, I appeared before Superman, my fist slamming hard into Superman's neck. On reflex, Superman held his neck, just for me to clap my hands on his ears. This was painful, as I had destroyed his eardrums. This left Superman falling to the ground, his pained scream filling the night sky.

Captain Atom, fist covered in energy punched my face, but my head didn't even move in the slightest, instead under Captain Atom's horrified eyes, I slowly grinned.

"What are you?" Captain Atom asked in fear, and to that my grin grew deeper.
