Justice For Those Who Sin
Tsuiyo Zenith Theta
The First Chapter
E/N: I had a dream about this…I just had to write it out.
Just so you know, for my purposes, Red Tornado's body still isn't complete and he is still in the JLA computer.
The JLA Headquarters: The Watchtower
"It's your move, J'onn," Red Tornado said, playing a game of chess with the Martian.
J'onn J'onzz thought for a moment, going over his possible moves. As such, he missed the holographic smile on the Red Tornado's lips. J'onn moved his rook into the enemy's ranks, capturing a bishop and pinning a knight to a queen.
"No offense, my friend," John said. "But that's just what I expected you to do." He moved his knight, exposing his queen but subsequently forking J'onn's King and Queen. "Check."
"No offense, friend," J'onn retorted, grinning. "But that is what I expected you to do." The Manhunter's bishop shot across the board, capturing the Knight and cornering the King. "Stalemate."
John laughed. "Well played, friend."
"You do not have to play that," J'onn said. "You were planning to go for a Stalemate since your fifth move."
"How did you figure that out?"
"I may not be able to access your main data core," J'onn explained. "But the part of you that is human has a brain that I can access."
"Human…," Red Tornado said quietly.
"Do not worry, John," the Martian Manhunter comforted. "Bruce and John Henry are going to make sure that you get your body back."
"I know they will," John said. "If anyone can, they certainly can."
"And soon you will be back with your family."
"That is true. Thank you, J'onn. I-" Suddenly, Red Tornado's features changed from dreamy happiness to full alertness. "Trouble."
"Where?" J'onn asked, going on alert as well.
"I'm not sure-there are no known records of her in the systems," John said. "She looks like she's-oh no!"
"What's happening!?"
"She's trying to hack the system! She's trying to shut down the-" Then, the all the lights shut off.
"John? John!" J'onn called out. There was no answer in the pitch black darkness.
"I think I'll play with you a little bit." It was female voice.
"Who said that? Who are you!?" J'onn looked around, trying to get a link to the intruder. When he did, there was a painful feedback. He flew backwards into the hard, metal wall. "Guh!" He rubbed his head painfully.
"Naughty little Martian," the voice said again. "It looks like I'll have to punish you."
Suddenly, flames appeared all over the room, going all around the walls. They effectively blocked any escape route. J'onn screamed. "No!!" His skin began melting as he tried to look for a way out. There was none. He looked forward and saw the assailant. "Who are you!? Stop this!!"
The woman played a riff on the guitar. "I am the last voice you will hear for a while. Now wallow before me in despair!" She strummed her guitar, producing a massive sound wave. It flew towards J'onn, knocking him out. The woman sighed. "So weak…you irritate me!"
E/N: REVIEW PLEASE!! Tell me what you think of this so far! I just got a thought for a storyline when I woke up in the morning…
