Where it all begins:http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=299729

Annihilus and Blastaar had not been very happy about the merging of the Negative Zone with the DC Antimatter universe.

They had forged an alliance to fend off the Crime Syndicate and the Weaponers Of Quard..

Their alliance had been effective but difficult. The one called Ultra Man was a powerful enemy and more than a few times the Crime Syndicate had tried to kill them.

They were in a war council when two green shards plummeted from the sky to the ground beneath their feet.

Annihilus scrambled to grab the one that landed before him. His natural greed drove him to covet the green glowing rock.

Blastaar was a little slower about it but he grabbed the one that landed near him before Annihilus thought to try to grab that one too. He withheld it from his erstwhile ally out of mere spite.

Annihilus reluctantly gave up trying to get both green glowing rocks.

Neither had any idea just how powerful an artifact they were now in possession of.

Day 76: Early Morning. The Negative Zone merged with DC's Antimatter universe in an alternate reality where heroes and villains from various realities but primarily the Marvel and DC Universes are brought together to coexist by an unknown entity or entities using two avatars. A cosmic being called Captain Beyond who aids the heroes and another cosmic being called the Midnight Rambler who aids the villains.

The Eradicator found himself fully resurrected but had no idea where he was.

His appearance was as it had been when he attempted to replace Superman during the latter's temporary death.

Doing some fast calculating he concluded he must be in the Anti Matter universe. He was close. He was in the Negative Zone which had been merged with the Anti Matter universe but was a separate part of it.

General Dru-Zod was confused. How had he been released from the Phantom Zone? Where was he? Somehow he was at full power without having to recharge at all.

Zod was delighted but not exactly excited about where he seemed to be. He needed to get out of here and into the universe that housed Superman.

He began to fly around and spotted someone who looked suspiciously like Superman. He decided to look into this further.

Reed Richards had been given a heads up by Captain Beyond that the Fantastic Four might be needed in the Negative Zone and the problem might be big enough that they could use help.

Reed called in She-Hulk and Ant Man (Scott Lang) for back up. He suspected that the Negative Zone was the next arrival point for new heroes and villains.

Superboy, Mon-El, Ultra Boy, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5 and Element Lad were also given a heads up.

Brainiac 5 had no problem devising a means for the Legion to enter the Negative Zone and they too were on their way.

The Eradicator heard General Zod coming and he turned to confront him.

The two struck each other and an epic battle began.

Annihilus and Blastaar could not help but notice the epic conflict and they rushed to confront the disturbance.

Blastaar could not fly so he was using a device that resembled a flying pogo stick to get around.

They came upon the sight of the Eradicator and General Zod in deadly battle.

They weren't sure what to do because they didn't know who these two were though one of them seemed to slightly resemble Ultra Man somewhat. All those humans look alike to them though.

Annihilus and Blastaar moved in for closer looks. They were ready to attack if they needed to but it looked like the two combatants might save them the trouble by destroying each other.

The closer Blastaar and Annihilus got to Zod and the Eradicator the weaker the latter two became.

Eventually, neither Zod or the Eradicator could fight anymore as they were too weak to continue.

They were easy pickings for the two Negative Zone heavies.

The Eradicator and Zod each collapsed in great pain as Annihilus and Blastaar approached them. Neither of them had faced Kryptonite before.

Blastaar and Annihilus stood over and gloated over their pain wracked bodies.

That was when the Fantastic Four arrived with She Hulk and Ant Man.

The F.F. didn't waste time. They lit into both of the villains they knew.

As they fought, they drew the action away from the two stricken products of Krypton.

Zod recovered first. He stood up, looked around and got the Hell out of there.

The Eradicator saw Zod go but he refused to pursue him. Zod was a son of Krypton and his programming made him sympathetic to Kryptonians. He hadn't really wanted to fight Zod in the first place.

As he recovered, he tried to go toward the F.F. and the others but everytime he approached Annihilus or Blastaar he was overwhelmed with debilitating pain. Finally, he too flew away to get away from the kryptonite.

Superboy and the Legion arrived as well. They arrived in the DC Antimatter universe part of the dimension.

They were attacked by the Crime Syndicate upon arrival.

General Zod fled right to Quard, home of the Weaponers.

He was surrounded by their elite soldiers.
