Braedey Martin: Unlimited

Ch 8: This Is Kid's Stuff

Braedey Martin had fought plenty of villains in his own universe. He'd faced down warlords, thieves, even extra-dimensional gods; which made the battle he was currently fighting seem like a walk in the park. He, transformed into Bulkhead, along with Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman and Green Lantern, were fighting several supervillains inside of a Federal gold reserve.

The villains weren't all that tough. In fact, any one of the heroes facing them probably could have taken them down by themselves. As it was, it wasn't too long before only one villain was left standing; he was called Copperhead, a man who was dressed like a snake, complete with venomous fangs.

"I won't go down so easily!" He hissed as he leaped towards Green Lantern. Lantern calmly created a brick wall with his ring, which his opponent promptly knocked himself out against.

"Sure you will." Green Lantern responded. As the other fallen villains were brought together, he bound them together with some willpower-generated rope. "Guess that's a wrap."

The other four heroes gave him a funny look.

"Sorry; been hanging out with Flash too much."

Bulkhead grinned. Finally, it wasn't him making bad jokes. He opened his mouth to tease the guy, but he was interrupted by the appearance of a wave of purple and gold energy. Before anyone could react, the wave covered them, and then they disappeared.

Another Dimension

The five heroes opened their eyes to find that they weren't in Kansas anymore. They were floating on a chunk of rock, surrounded by a white sky, crisscrossed by jagged red and black lines. Bulkhead could see dozens of other rocks in the distance, each one with people on them.

"It was Judgment Day!" Copperhead raved. "And we got sent to the bad place! The bad place!"

Any further freak outs were halted when Cheetah, another villain, slapped him. "Snap out of it Copperhead!"

"This place is weird." Bulkhead commented. "It kinda reminds me of Kaon?"

"What's Kaon?" Wonder Woman asked.

"Decepticon citadel and prison complex on Cybertron." The green Wrecker responded. "Used to hold innocent Autobots during the Great War, but now used to contain the most dangerous bad guys of my universe. I've had to send a lot of my villains there before." Bulkhead looked around. "At least there aren't any flying seeker jets around."

"Have you noticed something odd about all this?" Batman interrupted.

"Aside from the obvious?" Bulkhead snorted.

"There are only adults here." Batman said, as if Bulkhead hadn't spoken.

Wonder Woman looked around. "He's right; there aren't any children here."

"That's because a child is responsible."

The heroes turned to see a woman in purple and gold robes floating towards them. Bulkhead couldn't see her face, or any of her true features; she was completely covered. The other heroes went into fighting stances.

"Morgaine Le Fey." Growled Batman. "I should have known."

"Calm yourselves; I mean you no harm. My own son, Mordred, is responsible for this treachery, banishing all adults to this shadow-realm." She looked out to the distance. "And after I spent millennia feeding him, bathing him, preparing him to be king. Where did I go wrong?"

"See, this is why you shouldn't teach your kid magic if you're evil." Said Bulkhead while rolling his eyes, "It always comes back to bite you later."
