Chapter 04 Epic throwdown! Best fight in the book

When I came to, I was in a clearing with nine other people. We all stare at each other for about a second. I noticed a few people had selected items that would be good for me. My mind reeled as I thought of all the uses of a set of Mandalorian armor before I felt my leg buckle. My shin bone decides the amount of weight settling on it is too much and snaps. I go down like a sack of potatoes and can’t tell what else is happening around me because I pass out from the pain.

I woke up a week later in the hospital. I was told a gigantic fight had happened right where I was found and if not for the regeneration I would have most likely died from someone punching my unconscious body. When I could finally check with a diagnostic touch I knew how close I had come to death in the first few seconds of my new life.

Several of my organs were still being repaired from rupturing. I had several blockages in my blood vessels which would cause necrosis in my toes if not handled and the bone break had started to heal incorrectly. They had life and death issues to deal with and thought they could wait to worry about realigning my leg but my LSH regeneration had already started refusing my bone.

The few times I made eye contact with the nurses I knew my situation was bad from the wincing away and breathless gasps that would escape from their mouths. Seeing someone truly ugly isn’t a very common occurrence. The messy facial scar that looked like an incorrectly healed axe wound let me know why they tried to not make eye contact.

If you cranked strength to peak superhuman and didn’t spend any on endurance your body would explode the first time you tried to use your powers. Several other people had the same problem with powers or equipment they had purchased. The idiot who selected an ironman suit was stuck inside because the suit connected with Tony Stark's network and it shut itself down from unauthorized use.

More than ten percent of the 100 were killed the first day. More than half were already dead by the first month. People got their powers then thought they could use them without any repercussions. Any that were one trick ponies themselves often ended up dead because they went against someone with a well rounded set of skills and didn’t account for help they would get.

The super heroes would call for backup and the villains would have henchmen to also fight in most cases. It doesn’t matter if you can stop bullets like magneto if someone in a clown costume can sneak up on you with a bat and bash your head in before you can do anything. Three different people showed up at Titans tower to try and fuck Raven and all three ended up dead.

Anyone with a mind control power was flushed out by Charles and just like above stated were captured and locked away or killed during the fight. The same plot armor that protected most heroes and villains wasn’t given to us newcomers. The few that went and made a name for themselves had joined a group in the first week. Just about everyone who joined the Justice League was still alive.

That was at least those whose values aligned with the Justice League. Any that thought they could antihero their way through villains and their henchman were crippled or killed by those said villains. The absolute clusterfuck of knowledge brought into the world from people with an outside view had done significantly more damage.
