I do not own the rights to Justice League Unlimited or Guyver: The Bio Boosted Armor. Each is owned by their own representative company and creator(s). This is a 2nd series that will be similar to my 1st series, Justice League: OOO Unlimited, but with a much darker tone. Both this story and OOO Unlimited are heavily inspired by their parent series, Justice League: The Spider which is written by Agent-G, and by Justice League: Ultimate Hero which is written by sandman7734. I strongly recommend reading those two series as they are the ones to start this type of idea, with Agent-G being the first to do so. You can read this one first, or theirs but I would recommend reading theirs first.
This story will be using the Guyver 1 from both the manga and its 2005 anime counterpart but it will be placed during a future scenario where Shou is almost 20 years old instead of being 18.
~Note: This is a test chapter for now. It's an experiment to see how people like this one. If it get's enough reviews then it will become a full fledged series but it will be written at a slower pace than OOO Unlimited and will be much shorter in chapter length as a whole.~
~Note 2: While this story will be similar to those of sandman7734 and Agent-G, it will have a much darker nature to it during a lot of chapters and will have a few twists as well. Plus, using the Guyver grants me a bit more leeway on ideas and lessens the strain of having to give 3 heroes ample screen time like with OOO. I do not wish to rip off either of these two authors so, while trying to stay close to the original, I will also deviate from it as much as possible so as to make it different.~

JUSTICE LEAGUE:
BIO BOOSTER WARRIOR
By: Toku Warrior
The Mysterious Youth
Floating high in the sky above what appeared to be a currently active volcano was a being donned in what appeared to be a type of bio-organic looking suit that was somewhat teal blue in color with the inner material a shade of pinkish tan. Jutting just slightly from the armor near his elbows was a pair of small spikes and set in the center of his waist was a singular silver orb. On his armored face were two vents that seemed to resemble breathers with two smaller silver orbs situated between them, where his mouth would be. He had pinkish blank eyes with a silver orb-like medal resting on his forehead that had a small green orb situated above it. On the top sides of his head were two more silver orbs that rested along a set of bio-organic tracks. A single foot-n-half long horn jutted out from atop his forehead and curved backwards over and to the back of his head.
"Why…why did this happen? What did I do to deserve this fate?" the being asked himself quietly, his voice seemingly a bit distorted due to his armor.
He looked down at the lava flowing from the volcano and then concentrated on the orb-like medal on his forehead, causing a circular ring within it to glow a bright blue hue. Appearing behind him was a giant brown chrysalis-type cocoon, the organic object heading its masters' call. He looked back at it and then back at the volcano.
"Mizuki…Tetsurou…even Aptom and Natsuki are gone. Not just them but the entire human race; all because of Chronos and their Zoanoids." He then looked up to the sky to see what appeared to be a moon sized asteroid heading straight for the Earth. He sighed as he welcomed his oncoming end. "It's for the best. Everyone and everything that I ever loved…that I ever held dear is gone. And nothing can bring them back." He then looked at his armored body but felt no remorse towards it. "I don't blame you…not this time. I just wasn't strong enough to save them…to stop Chronos. I don't blame the Guyver…only Chronos and the Creators."
His thoughts were then brought back to the asteroid above as it started to impact against the Earth's atmosphere. Electrical storms began as lightning crackled throughout the sky, the ground trembling and cracking due to the massive object that was preparing to end the planets' existence. The young man within the armor looked back at the chrysalis, "I refuse to let the Creators get their hands on something as powerful as you. If they did then there's no telling what kind of weapon they could design with your data."
Looking back at the asteroid the young man accepted his fate as his whole world began to break apart before his very eyes. He no longer wanted to fight; he couldn't fight anymore for his spirit no longer had the spark. He no longer had anyone nor anything else left to protect and with no other human left alive, he decide to die along with his race.
'Mizuki…Otou-san…minna…I'llbetheresoon.' he thought to himself as the immense heat and force of the impact began to bear down on his body. As he looked on the last thing he saw was nothing more than a bright flash of light and then…darkness.

Theme: WAITING FOR…
By: Reiri
—
Floating high above the Earth was the space station base known as the Watchtower, the high-tech headquarters for the Justice League. It had been well over six months since the defeat of the Thanagarian Invasion and the resignation of one of the League founders, Hawkgirl. With the destruction of the old Watchtower the remaining founders decided to commission a new base but this time they added many improvements. Surrounding the base were several small stations that could be used for staff housing, storage and as extra docking bays for the League's main form of transportation, the Javelin. Located with the Watchtower was a meeting room with a round conference table situated with several steel chairs.
Sitting around the table were the six remaining founders of the Justice League and they appeared to be talking about a very important matter. Sitting in one chair was a main with a built physique who wore a blue body suit and red boots and bottoms. Around his waist was a thing gold belt and on his chest was his insignia, a big red S set inside a diamond pattern outline of a hint of yellow. Attached to the collar of his uniform was a red cape that went down his back and ended near the back of his knees. This was Superman. Sitting next to him on his left was a man of African American decent who sported a goatee and no head hair and emerald green irises while his body was covered in a black body suit that radiated with emerald energy as did his emerald green arm bands, collar guard and boots. In the center of his chest was a white circle that radiated with emerald energy that appeared in the form a green lantern-like insignia. On the middle finger of his right hand was an emerald green ring that also radiated emerald energy. This was the Green Lantern.
Sitting next to him was another man clad in a full red body suit with golden lightning bolt designs around his edges of his boots and gloves and also one that acted like a belt around his waist. His head was covered with a red mask that was attached to the suit which only left the lower half of his face bare. On the side of his mask was a pair of small white wings and on the center of his chest was a white circle with a thunderbolt emblem going through it. This was the Flash. Sitting next to him was a beautiful woman with long black that reached the middle of her back and a pair of crystal blue eyes. She wore a pair of navy blue bottoms with a pattern of white stars on them and bright red high heel boots with gold trim. Around her wrists were a pair of silver bracelets and on the top of her brow was a golden tiara with a red star emblem in the center. She also wore a red brassiere that had a golden double W design that wrapped around the majority of her bust and a golden belt that held a looped golden lasso on the left side of her waist. This was Wonder Woman.
Next to her was a man who also had a built physique that was covered in a grey body suit with black boots, gloves and a cape attached to it. The gloves had three small curved spikes that resembled a bats' wing and the ending tips of his cape were also fashioned after a bats' wing. He wore a black cowl with pointed ear like that of a bat and a pair of black bottoms. Around his waist was a tanish-brown utility belt and on the center of hi chest was a black bat emblem. This was Batman. And, finally, next to him was an alien looking man with green skin that wore a pair of blue bottoms and a pair of blue boots. Around his waist was a red belt with a golden belt buckle. Strapped across his chest were two red bands that connected to a long flowing blue cape by a set of two gold cloak locks; the cape rising up around his neck in the form of a high collar and his eyes were a deep red color. This was the Martian Manhunter.
"Well, I'm open to suggestions." Superman said to the rest of his team. In front of them all on the table was a pile of papers that had pictures of various other heroes from around the world on them. The League was considering expanding itself and wanted to bring in more help as the world had more heroes but also a lot more villains than just the six of them could handle alone.
The Flash picked up one picture and looked it over before showing the others. "Hey, how about this guy? He kinda reminds me of that old detective movie…what was it…oh yeah, Dick Tracey!"
"The Question? Are you serious? He's even more paranoid than Batman is and that's saying something." Lantern said and then looked over at the dark knight. "Sorry, no offense."
"None taken." was his simple reply as he picker up a picture of his own. "How about Vixen? She has the ability to call upon the powers of animals and use them to her advantage."
"Only if you're the one that goes and asks her." Lantern quipped. "Last time I talked to her she tried to get me to out on a date with her." Still recovering from his breakup with Shayera, it was obvious to the others that he was just not quite ready for another relationship yet.
"Lucky." Flash pointed out.
"What about your cousin, Superman? Do you think she might be interested?" Wonder Woman asked the man of steel.
"Maybe, she has wanted to get in more on the action but I still don't know if she's fully ready to join an actual team. She prefers to follow her own rules in a fight." Superman said in response. He really hoped that Kara would join them but she did need a bit more training when it came to team work.
"Well we need to get more members and soon. It's becoming pretty clear that with the low numbers that we have right now that, sooner or later, we're going to fail." Batman added sternly.
"Batman is right." J'onn said. "We should start going around and start recruiting as soon as possible."
"Come on guys," Flash sighed. "It's not like Heaven itself is going to open its doors and send us someone in a ball of light." The others just looked at him funnily while he just propped his head on his hand which he was resting on the arm rest of his chair via his elbow. As the others were about to continue their conversation a bright light suddenly appeared out of thin air as the fabric of space and time began to warp. After a moment, and in a ball of fire, a being was suddenly hurled through the shinning void that was a tear in space/time and down onto the table below, hard. After that the tear closed and the light disappeared. Looking around, "I wish million dollars…well…a guy can dream."
Looking at the strange looking being with shock and utter surprise, they soon noticed that his body was covered in cuts and even a few gashes and blood stains. For a few seconds he didn't appear to be alive but then the strange circular orb on his forehead began to glow for a mere moment and then he started to shift. Slowly getting up while putting a hand to his head, the being moaned in pain as he tried to get his bearings.
"Oh man…what hit me? It can't be death cuz I shouldn't be feeling pain right now." the being said to himself in a distorted voice. Slowly making his way off of the table he had landed on, he was finally able to stand, albeit a bit wobbly at first. Looking up he soon noticed that he was in some kind of metal room. "Okay…note to self, never go towards the bright light ever again." Still, groggy from the fall, the being never even realized that his hyper sensors were going crazy until he was suddenly thrown into the ground with enough force to have possibly cracked a rib if he had not been wearing his armor. Looking back behind him, he noticed that he was being pinned down by a man that appeared to be dressed up like a bat. "Okay…not a Zoanoid…but still freaky."
"I'm only going to ask you this once. Who are you and how did you get in here?" Batman demanded coldly. He put more pressure on the beings arm which he had pinned behind his back, putting more emphasis behind his question. "Answer…now."
This was something that the young man didn't need. First he tried to let himself get wasted by an incoming planetoid and the next thing he knew he was in some strange room being interrogated by people who dressed funny. It wasn't Halloween, was it? It couldn't have been seeing as it was still spring time back when he last checked. The young man then finally snapped. He had been hunted down; tortured, killed more times than he could count and he had just literally lost his whole world and the one person he loved. And now some guy dressed up like a bat was trying to play bad cop and ruff up a living bio-weapon like himself. Violent was one of the many things he usually wasn't but, for the moment, it seemed to fit the situation just fine.
"Here's your answer…freak!" With that he levitated both himself and Batman into the air and then, with his sheer force of will, flew them backwards until he slammed Batman into the far wall behind then, back first. Knocking the wind out of him, Batman released his grip on the armored young man who then landed back down on the floor and looked at the others before him; his hyper senses going crazy. "Okay…this is too weird, even by my standards. I'm outta here." With that the young man bolted right out of the door and ran down the hall.
"Stop him; we can't have him running around the station!" Superman ordered as Wonder Woman helped Batman to his feet.
—
Running through a corridor while trying to find any type of exit that he could find, the Guyver could constantly sense other beings walking around the strange place that he found himself in. As he come to a stop in front of a door his hyper sensors picked up on a being coming upon him from behind and turned around in time to see the form of Wonder Woman flying straight at him.
"Hey you, stop right there!" she commanded as she took her lasso and roped it around the Guyver. "Now just stay still and you won't get hurt."
The Guyver just looked at her in disbelief, did she not know who or what he was? What even made him more dumbfounded was that all of them looked completely human. But that couldn't be as he was there to see the last human die in his arms. His beloved Mizuki…the Guyver's shoulders sunk a bit until he found a new resolve in wanting to just get away from it all.
"Sorry, but you're the one who's going to get hurt." And with that he grabbed the lasso and, with a powerful yank, slammed the Amazon princess right into the wall with a powerful thud.
With her down the lasso loosened from around his arms and fell to the floor. He then looked back at the woman who had slumped to the floor in a heap and was glaring at him with eyes that seemed to show pain in them. Raising her hand to a communications device in her ear, she called out to the others.
"Guys, he's near the observation deck." Noticing her contacting her fellows, the Guyver looked back at the door and then pressed a button on the wall but noticed that the door would not open. Wonder Woman slowly eased herself up, pressing herself against the wall to help support her body. "I don't think so. We've locked out all the doors. There's no way in there unless we turn the locks off."
"That's what you think." The Guyver proved his threat valid as he moved back a bit and then cupped his hands together in front of his waist, suddenly collecting gravitational energy between the palms of his hands. Wonder Woman watched him and noticed as he threw his arms out like he was shooting an energy blast from his hands. "Pressure Cannon!" In a sudden show of power, the red and black gravitational sphere was flung out from within his hands and slammed into the steel door, blowing a hole clean through it. Wonder Woman just stood there, amazed at the type of power that this being possessed.
Then, in a quick burst of speed, the Guyver rushed at Wonder Woman and slammed his fist into her gut, knocking the wind out of her. Falling to the floor with a dull thud, she looked up to see the Guyver force his way through the hole in the door and enter the observation room which was also the tower's new teleporter bay. Once inside, the Guyver began to look for a way out but only saw things that made the room remind him of a military bunker from one of those old war movies. Looking up, he noticed what appeared to be a glass window with what appeared to be starlight shinning through them. Concentrating on his gravity globe, he floated up to the second floor of the deck and landed down and looked out the window to receive the most startling view of his entire life.
"I-it can't…be. How is that possible?" he said to himself quietly as he fell to his knees. What he saw was the vastness of space and the whole Earth, just floating there in a sea of stars. "But…I don't understand. I was there. I was there when the asteroid struck."
The Guyver was so caught up in his emotions that he never even noticed the Martian Manhunter rise through the floor and come to a stop behind him. The rest of the League soon joined him, with Batman helping an injured Wonder Woman up the stairs as they encircled their 'guest'. J'onn walked over and noticed how the Guyver was just starring at the Earth as if it shouldn't even be there. Taking a deep breath, he finally spoke out.
"Please, we mean you no harm, we just wish to talk." The Guyver was nearly scared out of his wits as he turned around to see them all there looking at him, still kneeling on the ground.
"You guys…where am I and how is the Earth still there? Who are all of you people?" the Guyver shouted out in apparent frustration.
"Please, you must relax. If you calm down then I might be able to explain." J'onn told their guest and the Guyver did just that. "You are on an orbiting space station called the Watchtower, the base of the Justice League."
"The Justice League? What's that?"
"A group of superheroes that help to protect the Earth from enemies both planet side and from afar." Superman said as he walked forward. "I'm Superman and this is J'onn, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and Green Lantern. We're the League's founding members." The Guyver just looked at him incredulously and then looked back at the Earth.
"But I don't understand. How is the Earth still there? And what about Chronos and the Creators?"
"Whoa there, what do you mean 'Why is the Earth still there'? It's always been there." Flash told him.
"But that can't be. I was there when it was destroyed by a planet sized asteroid. I saw it happen as I was at the impact zone."
The League looked at him strangely as they didn't even know what he was talking about. "Look…uh…whoever you are…there was never an huge asteroid or small planetoid that crashed into the Earth. Well, not in the last few billion years anyway." Green Lantern said softly.
The Guyver looked back at the Earth and, after all that had happened to him in the last few days, he finally snapped and started to have a mental breakdown. Getting back up he put his hands on the glass as his guilt, rage and sorrow were finally unleashed in waves of intense emotion.
"But that's not possible! I was there…I was there when they died…when she died." The Guyver tried to cry as he clenched his fists. He couldn't take it anymore. "No…no…no it can't…can't be true." He began to stumble backwards a bit as he held his head with his hands as if he was in intense pain. Finally, throwing his head back with scream of intense rage, he snapped. "!"
In that very instant the control medal on his forehead began to glow as the Guyver armor disengaged itself from his body and vanished back into the sub-dimension that it housed itself in, awaiting the next time its master called it forth. Falling down to the floor on his knees, hot streams of tears began to roll down the young mans cheeks and the League was surprised to see that the warrior that had appeared before them appeared no older then a boy. His short scruffy brown hair a mess and his clothes all torn and tattered from what appeared to be done during an intense fight.
Kneeling down next to the young man, J'onn placed a sympathetic hand on his shoulder and looked him over. "I'm sorry. Whatever kind of pain you are feeling must be unbearable at the moment. But for now you should rest and regain your strength." And with that he sent a mental suggestion to the young man, causing him to black out and fall asleep. "We should get him to the medical wing and look him over for any injuries; Diana as well."
—
Inside one of the medical wards of the station, the League had the young man hooked up to a monitor while they checked his body for injuries. Interestingly enough, they couldn't find a single scratch on him with the exception a single burn scar on his arm and two strangely shaped depressions on the skin around his shoulder blades.
"J'onn, do you think you go into his mind and find out who he is and how he got here?" Superman asked.
"I'll try…not that I would like too." J'onn replied. He did not like going into the minds of others without their permission unless it was an emergency.
Placing his hands on the young mans head; he began to make his way through the scores of memories, looking for any information that would be useful. While he did not want to look into the more personal memories they seemed to flow right to him. What J'onn saw was nothing but darkness and terror. He saw nothing but death and destruction, love and loss and intense emotional pain as he saw what this young man had been through. After a few moments J'onn released his hold and opened his eyes, a disturbed look on his face.
"Well, what did you see?" Wonder Woman asked as Batman helped her apply an ace wrap around her stomach to help with the pain of her bruised ribs.
"Darkness, war, suffering, loss…this young man has led a life that not even we could have possibly imaged." J'onn replied emotionlessly.
"Anything else?" Batman asked.
"Yes, his name is Shou Fukamachi. He comes from an Earth that is parallel to our own but also vastly different. For instance…his Earth…is no longer there."
"What? You mean…what he said about an astero—" Flash began but was cut off.
"Yes, beings that are known as the Creators hurled a planet sized asteroid at the Earth and destroyed the whole planet. He…is his worlds' sole survivor." They all looked at him and then back at Shou. Superman, J'onn and Batman could sympathize with the boy on that notion to some extent; Superman and J'onn the most.
"What about that strange armor he wore?" Green Lantern asked.
"It's called a Guyver unit; a bio-weapon of immense and immeasurable power that can bond with an intelligent host and enhance them beyond their normal limits. It was originally created by the Creators eon's ago and was a normal part of their space armament. The Creators, in his universe, are also the one who created the human race."
"Whoa, freaky, humans being created by a group of super smart aliens." Flash said jokingly.
"Anything else we should know about, J'onn?" Batman asked him again.
"Yes, but it might be best if he were to tell you. But for now, it might be best to just make him as comfortable as possible. And someone should watch over him for a while. He was originally going to die with his planet willingly until he arrived here so he may be mentally unstable for the moment."
"That's a good idea, who'll take first watch?" Superman asked.
"I'll do it; the rest of you should go and start the repairs to the observation deck doors." Batman said as he went over to the life monitor and checked Shou's vitals.
They all nodded and went to get to work while Batman stayed and kept an eye on their new 'house guest'. As he watched Shou sleep, Batman began to wonder if maybe they had gotten what they asked for. Only time would tell until they would find out everything they could him.

TokuWarrior: Okay people, this was just a test chapter to see if you all might like a story like this one. If it get's enough reviews then it'll be made into a full series but I'll work on it at a much slower pace than what I do for OOO Unlimited. It will be much darker as well and also have a few twists along the way. Well, let me know what you thought about this chapter and I hope you all enjoyed this little experiment.
