Overhead dangled the moon, brightening a city deemed the most beautiful around the world. But anything delightful passed that was scarce. It was also known for its substantial crime rates, which included hustlers, rapists, murderers etc. Above all it was the home to arguably the craziest most treacherous psychotics on the planet. Most outside the city believed anyone with sense wouldn't dare set foot in such a godforsaken capital. Yet there was him…the one that attracted people to the nightmarish town. The one, only so many had set eyes on. In some ways he was like a dark angel, defending the hell from the shadows and darkness.
There wasn't a single criminal that didn't know or trembled at the legend. Some weren't sure he was even human, but any criminal that got in his way fell. Well at least that was the perception the dark knight, caped crusader and more commonly Batman. Dozens speculated why the police had not yet brought him down. He was a vigilante working outside the law and in essence was no different than any other criminal. Civilians believed he secretly worked closely with the police, it was the only rational explanation for his delayed capture.
The night was much like any other in Gotham city. Loud, obnoxious and the melody of gunfire! A large truck darted down the street switching from lane to lane, avoiding the police vehicles in pursuit of it.
"Damn they're persistent!"
"Whenever are they not," someone responded from the passenger side, aiming his weapon out the window. He fired several rounds and didn't caring whether or not the bullets tagged police vehicles or other cars.
The chase continued for several blocks, the driver of the vehicle unexpectedly steering off the road. His eyes were set on a warehouse. During the chase they managed to put enough space between themselves and law enforcement. Each quickly stepped out of the vehicle, opening the trunk and inside was a boy and young girl, no older than seven years of age. Their mouths were covered by duct tape, with their ankles and wrists tied down.
"Get them inside. It won't be long before the police have this place surrounded."
Together they carried both children inside the building, locking the doors. Already awaiting them were six others, sitting around a table and counting money from an open briefcase. The two children were placed in a far corner of the room.
"Now be a good little boy and girl and keep quiet. Stay still and don't cry, I hate the sound of it," one gunman made clear, his weapon pointed at the two.
Having nothing else to say, he joined everyone else around the table.
"Is it all there?!" he asked with a hint of impatience.
"Looks that way, but I'll need a couple more minutes to confirm," another replied, smoking a cigar.
During that time, two stood in front of a window keeping a lookout. It wasn't long before police sirens filled the air along with bright red and blue flashes. Soon the building was surrounded by numerous police vehicles.
"Dis doesn't look good Chip, they've got us cornered from all directions it seems."
"Don't start chickening out, you forget we still have the brats. If they want these kiddies alive they will do exactly as we ask."
What remained of the money was carefully counted while the other captors positioned themselves next to surrounding windows, giving them a view of what went on outside. Even with the two hostages, none felt fully secure. The group had never seen so many police cars in one place at once.
"What the hell are we gonna do?! There's no way out of this!"
"Shut the hell up and relax, we've got them right where we want them," Chip replied, leaning against a wall with an overly confident grin.
With the two children at their disposal he felt there was nothing to worry about. Chip had a feeling the police would soon send someone to negotiate. The two children were Alice and Jay Welcess, members to one of the richest families in town.
"It's all here Chip," The one counting confirmed.
It happened so fast they were unable to react! The skylights smashed through with smoke canisters exploding over the floor! Chip ran toward the hostages but quickly lost sense of direction as smoke filled the room. It was difficult to say for certain but through the shattered skylights one perceived something large drop through, a wingspan of what looked to be six to ten feet. Was it him…the one all criminals feared?! That was the last thing the criminal saw before the smoke completely took away his vision. Next thing he knew cries of pain and the splitting sound of bones shattering filled his ears! He held his weapon tightly, understanding firing at random could injure his own allies.
The commotion around him persisted and echoes were followed by loud thumps. His partners in crime were taking a beating and there was nothing he could do to put things in their favor. It wouldn't be long before whatever it was feasted its eyes on him! Bracing himself for impact, he swallowed deeply. Soon the thunderous strikes and tussle ceased, only the sounds of footsteps remaining.
"You hide behind this smokescreen! Come out and fight coward!"
He waited for what felt like minutes for the smoke to clear, grasping what he already knew. All around the room were his accomplices unconscious! Slightly biting down at his tongue he slowly walked backwards looking all over. Suddenly his momentum stopped as he bumped into a solid object, and he was certain it wasn't a wall. Immediately revolving around the weapon was knocked from his hand and before him stood a 6'2 masked individual with glowing white eyes! Without asking knew exactly who it was. The pointy ears, silver armor, black boots, gloves and bat symbol over the chest all but confirmed it.
The trembling criminal threw out one punch in a desperate attempt to bring down the legendary myth, only to have it dodged. In a single strike the head he fell to the floor knocked out. Gradually walking across the wooden surface, the dark figure took a knee untying the rope and removing the tape from the children.
"You're free to go."
His appearance was intimidating and frightening but they were thankful for what he did. The boy and girl stood upright and took off toward the exit. As they reached the door Alice looked over her shoulder.
"Thank you, Batman," she said in almost a whisper.
Together she and her brother exited the warehouse to a very astonished yet relieved police force. Establishing the two were unharmed the swat and other law enforcement quickly moved in kicking the front door open. Again they found themselves astounded! All through the large space laid the beaten bodies of the kidnappers! The commissioner of police situated himself in front of the unit. A grin slowly crept onto the corner of his mouth.
"You think it was him, sir?" one officer asked.
"Work fast and cuff these convicts before they have a chance to gain consciousness. I want each and every one of them taken back to the station and questioned!"
It went without saying, each of them knowing precisely who was responsible for the take down. James Gordon had worked at his side for quite some time and was positive it was the work of Gotham's dark knight.
Fleeing the scene undetected, Batman traveled to the rooftops. He carried on jumping from building to building. Just as he made another jump the small communications piece inside his cowl beeped.
"Batman, we need you here in the watchtower," a female voice spoke from the other end. "We're making updates to the tower itself as well as the computer systems and could use your assistance."
Touching down atop another building, he stayed quiet for several moments. "I'm on my way, princess," he replied pressing at the side of the cowl.
He uncovered a small mechanism from his utility belt. It came in handy when needing to make quick trips to the watchtower. In one click a bright light surrounded his entire body, teleporting to the watchtower. He re appeared on the main dock and walked down the steps into the main facility. To his surprise Superboy, Starfire and Wonder girl walked around with different equipment in their grasp.
"What're they doing here?" Batman asked bluntly.
None were members to the Justice League. A single hand touched down over his right shoulder.
"We needed extra sets of hands. With other league members out on missions it was necessary. I took the liberty of contacting them each myself," Wonder Woman emphasized, taking her hand off his shoulder.
He followed her to the main computer where Superman stood.
"Good timing," the one donning the red cape and boots spoke. Typing away for a couple moments longer he focused his gaze on Batman. "The rest is yours, Bruce. All that's left is to update our systems with your pass codes and modification of firewalls."
Superman stepped aside allowing the Caped Crusader to do his thing. Just as his gloved fingers touched down over the keyboard a bright light manifested within the middle section of the room. The light died down and in its place was a woman standing at 5'9, shoulder length green hair and purple eyes.
"It would appear the dimension jump was a success," a smirk shaped over her lips, but disappeared just as quickly. All around her were strangely dressed individuals and their eyes directly on her. The unknown coughed, clearing her throat and wanted to get straight to the point, "I am here for the Ovatrector. Give it to me and I'll be on my way."
"Overt…what?!" Superboy set down the heavy equipment, directing his attention to the unknown woman.
Batman jumped into somewhat a defensive stance pulling out two batarangs. He'd never seen the woman and more importantly wondered how she appeared in the watchtower. The name Ovatrector didn't sound familiar.
"What is this Ovatrector, and who are you?" Batman asked.
In total were eight inside the space, including the unknown woman. She only slightly looked at Batman before turning and walking the opposite direction. She appeared to be heading for one of their closed off safes. In the process of taking another step an S appeared in front of her eyes, Superman blocking her path.
"You can't just appear in our headquarters and start demanding things. Give details of your situation and we might be able to help."
"You've got quite the speed," she smirked moving a strand of hair from her face. "Normally I'd talk it out but I'm in a bit of a hurry," she pointed her finger directly at the man of steel, blasting him through the metal door!
He grabbed at his chest feeling a strange sensation throughout his body.
"Magic…" he uttered, positioning on one knee.
"Wow, you're truly magnificent! That attack typically demolishes the target. Just who are you?!"
Superman slowly stood dusting himself off, whilst the other leaguers stood their ground.
"If anyone should be asking questions, it's us. You've infiltrated our base insisting we hand over something we don't have."
Due to her attack both she and Superman stood inside the safe, surrounded by some of the JLA's artifacts, and other strange objects they'd stored after battles. Much of it was alien and had yet to be identified. She grabbed hold of a specific item, taking on the form of a rock, bright gold glow stemming from its center. The item itself was a dark purple and weighed somewhere between fifty to sixty pounds.
"This is the Ovatrector, and it's more than just any ordinary rock. There is only so many throughout the different galaxies and universes and unfortunately the ones from my universe were destroyed. It is the ultimate power source!"
The excitement was evident in her tone.
"What do you want with it?" Wonder Woman inquired.
"What else then to become a world conqueror! But not of this earth," she pointed out the large glass window, a great view of earth from the watchtower. "But of the one dominated by users of magic or to rephrase it, my home world. My work here is done…this will be the first and last time we meet."
"rotcertavo otni ym sdnah."
The Ovatrector disappeared from her hands reappearing in the palm of the Justice League's greatest magic user.
"Good work Zatanna," Wonder Woman complimented.
"What're doing?! Didn't I just say your earth isn't of interest?!"
"What you speak of is wrong," Superman went on taking a couple steps. "It doesn't matter if you're bringing harm to this world or another. The fact you've brought it to our attention was a bad idea, we are some of the most powerful individuals in this world or the next and because of that we banded together and created a team to bring justice to the world. We will do everything in our power to stop this vision of yours from succeeding. That's what the Justice League is all about."
"Justice League…" she murmured, having no clue what he spoke of.
All that mattered was getting the large rock and returning with it to base. In a hiss she took her eyes off Superman and ran straight for Zatanna, who then tossed it across the room to Batman.
"Bitch!" she snarled, looking Zatanna in the eyes.
She didn't know nor care who the costumed persons were. Just as she came within a few inches of the Dark Knight Starfire dashed from out of nowhere tackling her to the ground. A bright green light formed simultaneously, quickly growing in size from with on her belt.
"Well isn't this something," she said with annoyance.
"What do you mean? What is ha…"
Starfire was unable to finish as the light filled the entire space and everyone was zapped away in a bright green flash.

Through a window peered the sunlight awakening her from deep sleep, the curtain only halfway closed. Her eyes journeyed to the nearest clock which showed it was after 7:00 AM in the morning. Sitting up and yawning she got out of bed, heading straight to the bathroom. What the day had in stored was yet to be seen, but she looked forward to it. Every day was an adventure, especially being a member to Fairy Tail. It was arguably the most powerful guild and seen that way by much the public. They had their share of run-ins with the magic council concerning property damage among other things, but none of that stopped them from doing things the way they wanted.
She stepped into the shower running the water over her body, soaping and shampooing her long blond hair. At the conclusion of the wash she finished with the remainder of her daily bathroom routine. Upon exiting had one towel tied around her body and another in her hair. She paced across the carpet, refreshed. She Stopped in front of a drawer in a corner of the room and pulled out a yellow tea-shirt, black bra, panties, pink socks and purple skirt. Dragging the clothing alongside her she set them over the bed and dried the rest of her body.
She changed into the selected clothing standing in front of a mirror tying her hair into pigtails. Last she slipped into a pair of brown leather boots, placing a brown belt around her waist with silver and gold keys connected to it. On her way out she grabbed hold of a black whip connecting it to her belt. A slight wind blew over her face as she skipped down the stairs, and the sun hadn't fully levitated over the top of the mountains. The lake looked especially beautiful that morning, fluttering back and forth in an endless wave. From the corner of her eye she noticed a seagull touch down over the bridge.
"Hey Lucy, up here!"
She quickly turned, spotting the two sitting atop the roof of her home. A blue cat or more accurately exceed hung over the shoulder of a pink haired individual.
"Natsu, Happy…what are you doing?"
Standing to his feet with a piece of paper, Natsu leaped off the ledge touching down in front of Lucy.
"I found us the perfect mission. Fifty Six thousand jewels for any Mage that can stop the one called Titan Hound! Isn't it great?!" He spoke with exhilaration. "We should get going, and according to the job offer our culprit is in the town of Shirotsume. If we go and catch a train right now we'll be there in no time."
"What about Mira-san, I promised to talk with her about something?"
"That something can wait, it's time to hit the road!" Natsu took off at top speed.
"Aye sir!" Happy added, removing himself off Natsu's shoulder using his angel like wings and flying just above the dragon slayer.
"Hey guys wait up," Lucy called out with neither slowing down. "Working beside these two can be so draining."She thought silently. Lucy took off following close behind with really no other choice.
Having only the mission on mind, they didn't realize the bright green flash out to the north of them. Someone also watched them from afar. That someone was dressed in a combination of purple and black, staring down at them until they were no longer in sight. The unknown also had a combination cape hood that hung over her head. A small piece in her ear beeped and she answered straightaway.
"Kayley Nisakih here, what do you have to report?" she asked.
"The superiors demand your return to base. Neisa located the power source capable of initiating phase one of our plans. She located the Ovatrector in a realm called Prime Earth. It is uncertain when she will return, but the master wants you at base for whenever that happens."
"Prime Earth? What the hell are you talking about?!"
"It's a diverse dimension, and has the power source we were unable to locate here in Earth land."
"As you wish, I'm on my way."
She grinned, knowing they were one step closer to overpowering any and all guilds throughout the entire planet. World domination would soon be theirs and she could hardly wait!
