DCU Shazam! - Issue #15

DCU Shazam! - Issue #15

 

Black Adam: “So nice to finally meet you, Champion!”

 

Black Adam lowers himself from the air and goes to approach Shazam, his black suit with a tainted yellow emblem shining in the hot summer sun.

 

Shazam: “S-Stay back, Black Adam!”

 

Black Adam: “So I see The Wizard has told you his lies! My name is not Black, it is Teth. Teth-Adam!”

 

Shazam: “Quite frankly, I don't care what your name is! You just killed a Superhero! You’re gonna pay for that!”

 

Black Adam: “And I'll kill a dozen more if they stand in between me and you!”

 

Shazam has had enough. He pulls the golden staff from Bulletman's bloodied body and begins flying towards Black Adam with it.

 

Black Adam: “You don't even know what that thing is! You have no idea what it can do… the power it possesses!”

 

Shazam: “I know it can probably kill you!”

 

Shazam uses his hyper-speed to ram into Black Adam with the staff, but Adam easily dodges it, more experienced with his powers, and Shazam smashes into the side of a corner store, dropping the golden staff as he does. The debris almost hits some people crowded below, too scared to move. Victor and Freddie are still amongst them.

 

Black Adam: “You fool! I've had these powers for thousands of years, and you've had them for what, a few days! You are no match for me!”

 

He's right. Shazam doesn't know all his powers yet. He discovered the ones he knows about by pure luck. He thinks back to what The Wizard told him… about what Shazam

really stands for.

 

He stands up from the debris of bricks and shards of glass, and faces down Black Adam, who now stands maybe a dozen metres away.

 

Shazam: “Perhaps you're right… but maybe you're WRONG!”

 

Shazam punches his fist high into the air, and lightning begins to crackle in the lower atmosphere.

 

Shazam: “Everybody run for it!”

 

Shazam then charges at Black Adam, who is distracted by the thunder. He collides into him, then says the magic word…

 

Shazam: “SHAZAM!”

 

An enormous bolt of lightning strikes Shazam and Black Adam, who both tumble down the street. Black Adam's suit is charred and sizzling, and he’s dropped the staff. Meanwhile, Billy has transformed from Shazam and back into himself. His knees and elbows scraped from the tarmac, he stands up and runs into the crowd, who are darting around in all sorts of directions.

 

It's chaotic pandemonium, during which Billy manages to run back over to Bulletman. He takes a second to close his eyes, then grabs the device he used to trap King Kull. He looks over to Black Adam, who is stirring awake. He could grab the staff… but it’s too risky while he isn’t Shazam.

 

Still running through the crowd, he sees Victor leading Freddie away from the action, with Freddie nervously looking around behind him, looking for Billy. Billy sees them make it to Victor's car, and they begin to quickly drive out of the city. At least his family is safe, for now.

 

By the time Black Adam comes to his senses, Billy has vanished into the crowd and is running off towards the suburbs. Black Adam raises the golden staff from the ground, admires it, then floats high above Fawcett City.

 

Black Adam: “Go hide like your Wizard did, Champion. I control the magic in this world now…”
