A Nazi soldier, dead for decades but reanimated by otherwordly forces, stood at the helm of his ship, waiting for the orders of his leader, the legendary Adolf Hitler.
His gun was cocked over his shoulder, and his face remained expressionless.
This could be due to the fact that most of the flesh had rotted off, but it also served to make him look loyal and determined.
A small splash alerted him to the water's surface, directly beneath him. He leaned over the rail and aimed his gun towards the water. Staring up at him was the face of Danny Hearn.
Danny ducked back underwater as the soldier fired.
Bullets struck the water in a wide circle, sending up a spray of sea water that almost coated the deck.
Satisfied that the intruder was sufficiently dead, the soldier resumed his post, looking back towards the shore.
Behind him, a battle raged on... a low flying craft of some sort and a naked man that had appeared from underwater were terrorising his shipmates.
But he had his orders to guard the front of the ship. And, lacking all initiative or independent thought, here he would stay.
He heard something else in the water beneath him. He leaned over the rail again, and cocked his gun. Something flew in front of his and he stepped backwards. It was a tentacle... like something you'd see on an octopus.
Had the soldier possessed the ability to be started, he probably would have been startled.
The tentacle wrapped itself around the railing.
Before he could react, Danny Hearn, the man he thought he had shot, pulled himself up to the ship's deck with his tentacle. He leaped forward, and tackled the dead soldier.
Danny soon realised that the soldier was a zombie... already dead. The rotting flesh and lack of emotion was a dead giveaway.
So, Danny had no problem with killing the man again.
"Rhino horn..." Danny said, then ducked downwards, crushing the Nazi's skull with his newly grown horn.
He stood up, and began to move down the ship, to where the rest of the fighting was taking place. But then, something on the shoreline in the other direction caught his attention.
The ship was close enough now to get a good look at the beach, and the nearby areas of the city.
And what he saw disturbed him deeply.
"Hal... are those dinosaurs?"
"I think so, yes."
Danny paused. He could fight the Nazis, or the dinosaurs...
A closer look at the prehistoric visitors revealed a multitude of heroes fighting them... practically all of them resembling Joker1.
A look down the ship gave him the impression that only Nemo and Mordecai were there to fight the Nazis.
He decided to help against the Nazis.
