Domina had been fast at work ever since the fall of the Vatican's soldiers, after all, her current vessel's true spirit was losing the will to continue fighting and even becoming harder to control. Luna was no longer a good vessel for her power. So, she was building herself her own body, one that was much stronger, faster, and far more enduring than her original human one she was in now. "The body seems to be strong enough, regenerate abilities are fairly strong, it's adaptability is great as well, but this is all in theory, I need to see what it is truly capable of." She spoke solely to herself as she looked this prototype of her body to be over. It was an eight foot tall featureless body, but masculine in build; the only features visible on it were its eyes. She didn't bother putting in details as this was merely an experiment. "Rise." She commanded resting her hand on it. Purple energy surged out from her hand and over the body, animating it to do as she said. "Follow."
She walked all the way into the center of her sanctuary where her throne room was, a crystal ball standing on a pedestal in front of it. Waving her hand over it to decide on a few places to have a test in a true fight for her new experiment, she focused on the White House, and Lex Corp in Metropolis. Weighing her options for a moment, knowing the military would eventually get involved for the white house, however if she went for Lex's place, that was a whole different world of possibilities of what could come after it there, testing the body against more than bullets and explosives. Shifting her gaze to the side as one of her stalkers walked in with clothes held in its maw, she grabbed them and tossed them at the prototype body. "Get dressed, and head through this portal when you are." She ordered forming a portal close enough to Lex Corp so it wouldn't be a long ways, but far enough so it wouldn't be seen. "See that building there? I want you to raise it to the ground, and kill anything that tries to stop you, and don't stop till you've succeeded." This time her order had no real meaning to it as the others; she was purposely sending this thing to its death. Just to see what its limits were.
Within a couple of minutes of the portal being formed, the Prototype, or Alpha as it was going to be called now, stepped out dressed in a large black duster, jeans, and T-shirt that had a bulls-eye on the front of it, and oddly enough a mask that resembled that of Hanibal's, just for show. It's movements as it walked was a bit awkward, its arms hanging at its sides without moving while being hunched forward a little. As it approached the Lexcorp building, and if any Security moved up to try and confront it, they'd be met with swift and skull shattering blows to the head, killing them instantly, while also sending off the alarms that they were under attack

Since the Alien Invasion with Darkseid, LexCorp Tower had become arguably the most secure location on the planet. The White House and Congress had temporarily moved to LexCorp Tower while the main government buildings such as the Pentagon, The US Capital Building, and the White House were being rebuilt. At this time, construction in Washington was almost complete. At the LexCorp Tower itself had security on every level, with a mix of LexCorp Security, Government Security, and the Secret Service. Not to mention automated systems such as cameras and weapons. Any trespassers would be met with extreme and hostile prejudice. Nothing got in, or out on the LexCorp grounds without anyone noticing Immediately when the individual stepped on the LexCorp Campus, trespassing alarms went off and alerted security. LexCorp security was immediately on scene along with Secret Service.  One of the security officers ordered to have weapons drawn and pointed at the individual as one of them barked out "Halt, you are trespassing on Federal and Private Property! On the ground now with your hands behind your head or we will open fire, NOW!" All personnel on the ground near by this...individual now had their weapons drawn and ready to fire

Alpha stopped to look at all security personnel that were moving in to greet it, its grey eyes glancing around at each one as their guns were aimed and ready to fire upon it. Only capable of letting out a growl from its throat, it blindly rushed at the closest man next to it, quickly starting the barrage of gunfire upon it. However, its speed was to great for them to keep their sights trained, barely grazing it until it was on the man who had barked out the orders to it. Alpha's fist swinging and smashing into the front of their helmet, making the whole front of it sink into his head as he went went flying back. By then it was to close to avoid the barrage of bullets, quickly being riddled with them as it slumped to its knees. For a moment it just sat there as they had to reload, almost appearing to be dead before the sound of bullets clinking to the ground could be heard as it was rapidly regenerating from its injuries. With another Feral growl Alpha stopped playing with them and launched itself at them, killing each and every normal man outside with single blows; it was clear that conventional means weren't going to work here

From the security hub in LexCorp Tower, each man's heart beat was being monitored and they had a live surveillance camera feed in the area this trespasser was in. They watched as one by one each heart rate monitor went dead and were in shock over how this...thing took apart of a squad so quickly.  Then from the security up, automated defense systems were activated and proximity alarms started to go off with a deafening klaxon siren. Soon out from the ground, platforms arose with both manned and automatic defense turrets that began to fire a barrage of energy blasts at the creature. One of the security officers shouted out, "Activate Emergency Lockdown! Inform the President!"Immediately all entrances, exits, and windows to the outside were sealed with 4 inch ballistic plated steel. Nobody could get in or out without authorization. Mean while in the Executive Level of LexCorp Tower, President Lex Luthor himself was on the telephone when suddenly the plated steel began to cover his windows and his office had become dark. He hanged up the phone then walked down the corridor to his assistants' desk and immediate began to ask "What in the bloody hell is going on" then one of his security officers approached the desk "Mr. President sir, we're in lockdown. The perimeter has been breached by an unknown individual who has slaughtered one of our squads" then immediate out of the security officer's pocket, he showed the president from his cell phone footage that had transpired outside. "Why didn't anyone pick up this freak from 5 blocks away?! Get some birds in the air. Deploy the Gladiators!" he said walking away from his assistance desk down the corridor and back to his office. Going to his desk he pressed a button underneath, opening a door to a secret express elevator that was concealed by wood paneling. Luthor began to undo his tie as he placed it on his desk, while he opened a nearby drawer, grabbing an ear piece and placing it in his ear. He then walked into the elevator and shut the door. Raising two fingers towards the ear piece, he activated it and spoke as the elevator quickly descended from the top of LexCorp Tower down towards the underground levels and he began to speak "Calculator...are you aware of the situation? You caught all of that? Who do we have on standby?"

Alpha growled louder when the defense turrets came up and began firing energy blasts at it. It raised its arms up in an attempt to shield itself as it seemed to be taking the blasts surprisingly well before it darted off to the side to start avoiding the incoming fire. It's regenerative abilities seemed to be phenomenal! Much to Domina's satisfactions as she watched from her sanctuary through a crystal ball. Soon Alpha was jumping onto one of the turrets, crushing the barrel partially in one of its hands before leaping further back on it to land behind the man behind it. Before very brutally picking him up and ripping his upper body from the lower, and throwing both at another manned turret knocking the man off of it. Grabbing the barrel of the turret again it ripped it from its stand; showing an even greater deal of strength still before it started to use it as a club to start smashing the other ones as it seemed to just become enraged from their constant fire. "This is going even better than i could have imagined." Domina chuckled with her hands brushing along the skull heads on her throne of bones; watching the whole scene unfold. "But I'm already seeing stress on the body, wonder if the energy blasts are creating burns." She hummed in thought, waiting to see what else they'd send out seeing as the turrets were lasting as long as that previous squad now.

"But I'm already seeing stress on the body, wonder if the energy blasts are creating burns." She hummed in thought, waiting to see what else they'd send out seeing as the turrets were lasting as long as that previous squad now. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor was now underground beneath LexCorp Tower. Many of secrets were locked up underneath here. This is where most of Luthor's pet and personal projects and 'other business' dealings were dealt with. Down here is where Luthor's top scientist besides Luthor himself worked. Access was restricted due to high security clearance. On his way to put on his Powered Suit, he walked by a cryogenic-stasis tube, and looked at the vitals on the individual on a tablet stand. Then he spoke aloud "Computer, give me status completion on Test Subject: B-0?" a computerized voice soon chimed in "Cloning status gestion 4 years 5 weeks 340 days. Time to completion 5 years 7 weeks 270 days" "Damn" Luthor said to himself "Still not enough time" he said walking away as he went to the display case that contained his armor. He climbed inside of it as the suit began to seal itself shut and a self preflight check was being conducted, and it began to power up. In the middle of all this, Calculator chimed in through the suit's communication's system. "Lex I've got the personnel you requested an a few more on standby incase things take a turn for the worst" "Good work Calculator, prepare to Zeta Beam me outside of LexCorp Tower on my mark". Luthor began to walk around pacing and moving the joints of the suit so it was ready to go and waited to be teleported by Calculator. He walked over the the teleportation pad, meanwhile he began to continue to watch the events outside though his holographic heads up display. Back outside the Gladiator Units along with LexCorp Heavy Assault Ships came out on the horizon approaching the campus. The Gladiator units had similar weapons, armor, and strength level to Lex Luthor's armor, but not quite on the same level.  The Gladiator units landed on the ground each in a triangle formation surrounding this...creature. Each of them activated their energy beams from their gauntlets and pointed the beams on the general direction of the creature as the Assault Ships took the same type of formation but did not open fire yet. They simply hovered at a safe distance observing the events.

Alpha was just having a hay day with the defense turrets at this point after it learned their patterns of firing, and the fact it was able to move faster than the human's could keep up with. Smashing and tearing each one apart till they were soon rendered inoperable. By the time the Gladiator units arrived it was tearing the last automated turrets insides outs with glee in the savage destruction. Sensing them arriving as well as hearing, it turned its head with a deep growl from its throat, peering up at the next cannon fodder coming its way. "Regeneration has shown great promise, but lets see adaptability next." She waved her hand over the crystal ball to send a mental message through to Alpha to make changes to handle this new threat. Alpha's body began to glow with a deep purple energy as the surrounding turret and severely mauled bodies on the ground started to shake and shift before moving towards it. Its left hand digging back into the turret to grab the energy corp that powered it, its body soon growing larger as it absorbed the bodies; allowing him to take the whole corp up and into its shoulder while the barrel soon started to mold into its flesh. Breaking the barrel in half so it wasn't so long, the turrets outer armoring started to mold into its flesh in a near perfect unity of flesh and metal. Giving itself armor, and now standing a full ten feet tall from absorbing the men into itself. This only took a mere minute or two to completely do, but in the process it had picked up the base of the turret it took the barrel from and chucked it up at the Gladiator unis, and getting ready to fire with its new arm cannon. Of course this also created a weakness; as only flesh and scarce metal armoring covered that source of energy in its shoulder.

Laughing in unison with her twin sister Neko, Ai felt a cold shiver down her spine. It had been awhile since Ai saw Luna last. Wondering what had become of her. Ai was worried. Chou lays a hand on Ai's shoulder; smiling at her gently. "Everything will be fine Ai. She'll come back for you." "You're right." Forcing a smile to appear. Ai glances to the hills, still a bit worried, a tear rolls down her eye. Whispering gently to herself, "Please come back my Luna." Clenching her chest as it started to hurt.

Of course this also created a weakness; as only flesh and scarce metal armoring covered that source of energy in its shoulder. In a matter of minutes Luthor himself was teleported to the outside of LexCorp Tower and observed this creature from a distance. “Time to end this charade” activating his repulsors he flew overhead from the creature near by the LexCorp Heavy Assault Ships that were still hovering over the creature. Then Luthor began shouting at the creature from the air over head “You think you can come into my house and wreck it? Think again!” After shouting at the creature, missile mounts began to unfold from his back and shoulders of his armor. His heads up display showed projected weak points on the creature, and he immediately fired a volley of homing missiles in the creature’s direction. After firing his missiles, the mounts folded back into his armor and he hailed one of the Assault Ships hovering near by him. “Falcon 2, open your cargo bay doors and drop your payload!” “Acknowledged Mr. President, dropping payload!” in a matter of minutes the hydraulics of the Assault Ship’s cargo bay doors slowly opened and what came out of it could only be described as a gray and black blur that fell to the ground at an alarming rate and on impacted caused a crater in the ground. Out of the crater the only thing could be heard was a growling sound “GRRAAHHHWW” With a huge leap that shook the ground, the individual was able to get out of the crater and revealed himself. This individual was no other than Solomon Grundy!  Grundy soon set his gaze on the creature and the target it had on what was left of it’s t-shirt. Then Grundy bellowed out “Grundy no like target man! GRUNDY KILL TARGET MAN! GRAAWWHH” then Solomon Grundy ran at full speed at the creature like a mad bull out of a rodeo bucking gate ready to pummel the creature into oblivion.

(Sorry for such a delayed reply; summer tends to make me suffer from serious writers block sometimes. sweatdrop ) Alpha looked up at Luthor as he came out to join in on the little battle going on, and he very boldly yeld at it to catch its attention after it started to attack the Gladiator units as best as it could. With narrowed eyes, it turned its gun arm towards him as he fired a volley of missiles its way; the tip of the barrel glowing as the energy charged up before being released in a single wide beam, which swept along to detonate the missiles in a chain reaction in the air. Alpha tilted its head at the blur that fell from the assault ship, lowering its gun arm down to aim at it knowing it was something else to challenge it. About to charge up another beam, the energy source in its shoulder instead seemed to fizzle out. Domina who was watching from her crystal ball raised a brow before waving her hand over the ball; channeling some of her magic to recharge it with magical energy instead of electricity; after all Alpha had no magical abilities on his own. Howver that as if he even got to use it, as Solomon grundy would be ramming into him head on,

Howver that as if he even got to use it, as Solomon grundy would be ramming into him head on, From above Luthor simply glared and looked down at the creature. Sure the missiles didn’t work, but he had plenty of tricks still up his sleeves. The missiles were merely a delay. He continued to monitor the battlefield from above. Down below on the ground, it appeared that Solomon Grundy’s bull rush connected head on with the creature. Grundy growled at the creature before he started speaking to it “Solomon Grundy! Born on a Monday!” he attempted to grab the end of the barrel of the creature’s cannon with both hands with all his strength. ((No worries, you're not the only one with a case of writer's block, myself included. My apologies for the supershort reply)

Alpha landed flat on its back with a snarl of growl escaping it. Glaring up at Grundy, it was already charging up a blast and planted both its feet to his gut to push him back. Giving Alpha enough time to lift his arm and point the end at Grundy as he released a blast of energy right at him, which would easily connect with how close together the two currently were

Grundy was blasted backwards and yelled out “GRRRAAWWW” he said in anger and some pain. Not a significant amount anyways. He landed on his back but quickly regained his footing and leaped up in the air yelling out “GRUNDY KILL YOU DEAD” while in mid-air he took his hands and put them together in a double axe handle grip. If he connected with with the creature it would surely knock him to the ground and Grundy could gain the upper hand. Meanwhile Lex was still overseeing the battle up above. Through his communication system he hailed one of the other LexCorp Assault Ships. “Falcon 3 drop your cargo!” “Affirmative sir!”. Then the ship’s cargo bay opened and the ship landed right behind Grundy and the creature. Stepping out of the ship was no other than Brother Blood.  Blood immediately taunted and insulted the creature as he spoke “Abomination! Blasphemer! You are no match for a Disciple of Trigon!” he gripped his cloak as the Assault Ship took off from the group scattering the dust from the ground and causing wind gusts on the battlefield

Alpha quickly got to its feet after blasting Grundy back like that, giving it more than enough time to get regain composure. Watching as its foe jumped into the air, Alpha realized its current foe was stronger. Starting to raise its arm up to fire another blast, an audible snap could be heard from seemingly nowhere as Alpha suddenly burst into deep purple flames. With Brother Blood on the field, she didn't want to take chances for her creation to be caught or ties being led back to her; not that she was worried, she just didn't quite want to get attention on herself again. Plus she had more than enough information for what she needed to do. By the time Grundy came crashing into the ground, ash was all that was kicked up on his landing

By the time Grundy came crashing into the ground, ash was all that was kicked up on his landing When Grundy landed he was perplexed and confused where his opponent had gone in a cloud of smoke. The same went for Brother Blood as well. Grundy shouted "WHERE DID TARGETMAN GO?!" Above Lex frowned upon the events on the battlefield. "A disappointment, we didn't even get started..." using his communications system he signaled the Assault Ships to pick up Brother Blood and Solomon Grundy. Soon afterwards the ships began to depart. Luthor went back inside LexCorp Tower and began barking orders to his head of security "Stay at security level 5. I don't want to risk whatever that thing was to come back"
