"Who are you?" Dawnbreaker had been desperately trying to contact the Batman who Laughs but there was no response. When Devastator first spoke about the intruders for the first time they didn't pay attention.
There had been multiple attempts before to breach the Castle and every time it ended with the death of their opponents. The weak bugs were never even able to come close to the Castle.
But here they were. A special team which seemed like to be made specifically to stop the four of them and counter attack them. And it was pretty apparent that they would go down soon. Devastator was being punched, mauled and thrown down like a piece of stone. He didn't have unlimited energy source and these heroes seemed to know his weakness too not allowing access to any kind of energy.
He was their trump card, but here it looked like no trump cards, nothing would stop this special team.
"I am Pietro, the Quicksilver..."
"We are not here to introduce ourselves." Yennefer shouted at Pietro who seemed like was having a great time. Quicksilver laughed in shame and made a run as he saw Red Death getting up slowly. The punch was not enough to kill him but he healed slowly this time.
Blood was stained in his costume and it seemed like a few more punches would do the job. Peitro, seeing Red Death setting up, punched him in super fast speed and that made Red Death fly in the air backward and fall.
"Stay down Kid." Pietro said while being arrogant. Pietro was still not mature and was as goofy as Flash. Captain America would have smirked seeing Pietro like this.
Dawnbreaker didn't understand what Pietro meant by Quicksilver. He had never heard of these superheroes before. Neither in his Dark Universe nor in this. As these thoughts made him more confused, the more distracted he became and more easily were his constructs broken.
His green lantern suit was not able to hold him for very long and with one fire ball that went straight through his face burnt his skin with at least second degree burns.
He felt unconscious and thus Dawnbreaker was the first to go down. Drowned was beaten very badly from the beginning itself and it was just his strong body that was able to hold on. The castle was built like a moat with water surrounding all the sides so Drowned was using the power to water to fight all this time, but the team of superheroes chosen to fight them proved too much for him and he was second.
Though there were no visible fatal injuries in his body, the knock on his head with the Stormbreaker was enough to put full cracks on his skull. Drowned had been hiding from Thor for such a long time and only lightning was little effective on him but it wasn't enough.
But the water wasn't going to help him always and was finally taken down by Thor and his buddies that was making sure that this Drowned guy didn't get more access to water. And with that the second person was down. Red Death was already breathing heavily after being hit by Hyperion.
He was like a false Superman and the punch of one was still huge and he could never hope to against his brutal strength. After being knocked out, it was Red Death. He was already bleeding profusely before and Pietro made sure to knock him unconscious with a horse tranquiliser gun.
A speedster who has any versions of speed force normally would never go down against a tranquiliser gun because the lightning in their body would just burn it. But it was different if the subject was too weak. And Pietro wanted to give a gift to the DC Flash. He had seen the series and being a part of Speed Force himself he had more hatred against Red Death.
And the last was Devastator. He wasn't going to go down easily. He was fighting hard and fast. Hyperion, Thor and Pietro had to tussle against him a lot.
"Pietro, use lightning on him." Thor shouted.
"Are you an idiot, lightning will just give him energy. Even after all the knowledge from the world tree, you forget the basic common sense." Yennefer complained while using vines that looked like they were made of surrounding bricks and entangled the hands and the feet of Devastator.
Any elemental attack would be fatal to them. Only pure strength would work.
"Leave me alone." Devastator shouted as he jumped high and was trying to escape. Yes, he was escaping, in no way he could last long. Batman who laughs was out and these guys seemed like they came with a mission. Being a previous Batman himself he knew that something was fishy.
He just needed time to find out and then save the other three.
