Chapter 01: Division

Wally West smiled down at the twin cities of Central and Keystone. The buildings were not as elaborate as those found in Gotham or Metropolis but there was still plenty to offer everybody. Jobs were plentiful, crime was down, and people were happier than they had been in years. And no matter how many times he stood here and watched the sun set behind his cities, the warmth and love for them or the people within them never dulled. Especially now.

With only a small contraction from his right leg, Wally West, the Flash, took off across the landscape toward Keystone City, leaving only the barest hint of a streak of his red uniform with its stylized gold lightning bolt on his chest in his wake, leaving the three jewelry thieves tied up and unconscious to a tree even as the wailing sirens of police cars grew louder. Detective's Chyre and Morillo should be able to handle it from here. He had a very important engagement in four minutes.

Being the Fastest Man Alive, Wally West had always strived to make the most of his powers and expected himself to get a great deal done in a very short amount of time. Which also meant that he was also chronically late for most things. So, on his way through Keystone, he broke up two attempted robberies of old ladies, took a bag of drugs from a startled drug dealer before taking him, and the drugs, over to the Keystone Police Department, saved a scared cat from a tree, and even scared the pants off of a bully before arriving at his destination six minutes after he had left.

The gentleman standing at the door on this warm summer evening nearly jumped out of his tails and cap as the Flash skidded to a stop in front of him. "Hi," Flash said with a warm grin on his face. "I should be meeting someone here."

"Of course," the man said, recovering enough to open his guest book and paging through it. "Your reservation would be under Mr. Flash?"

Flash smiled lightly at the thought and pulled the cowl of his outfit off to hand like a hood behind him to reveal the young face and red hair of his true identity. "Probably under Wally West."

"Ah, yes," the man said. "Right this way. Mrs. Park is already seated."

"Hold on just a second," Wally said, looking down at his uniform. "Not sure if Linda would appreciate having dinner with the Flash when she is expecting Wally West." In a flash, the Scarlet Speedster was instantly replaced by Wally West, now wearing a black pants and sweater with a white buttoned down shirt underneath it. Black shoes now adorned his feet instead of the red boots. His Flash outfit, now neatly packed into a small ring, was traded for his wedding ring in his pocket.

"Allow me, sir?" the man said, stepping over to Flash and helping to adjust the collar of his undershirt that Wally hadn't noticed was crooked. "Can't have our city's hero looking shabby, can we?"

"I appreciate it," Wally said, blushing only slightly before the two made their way to a small table off to one side of the romantically dim room where his wife waited. Linda Park-West sat patiently as she watched the small orchestra in the center of the restaurant with a curious eye. She wore an attractive black dress that showed off just enough of her figure without being revealing to make most men turn their heads to the Korean-American woman. Her long dark hair was styled for the occasion, just the way Wally liked it.

Wally recognized the silver chain and its diamond bordered gemstone that Wally knew matched her green eyes perfectly. He had given it to Linda on their first anniversary and nearly broke the bank doing it. A matching set of earrings hung from her ears from their second anniversary. It was then that Linda turned her green eyes on Wally and a smile spread across her beautiful face.

"Hey there, mister," she said as Wally took the seat next to her and kissed her. "You're late again, I see."

"That's what happens when you marry a super hero," Wally teased. "I can save the planet fifteen times in an hour but I will still always be late to dinner."

"That certainly seems true enough." Linda smiled to make sure Wally knew she was joking. "Mother warned me about that. Even the press warned me about it but I went ahead and married you anyway."

"And it has been an incredible three years, Linda," Wally said and pulled a small box that contained the matching bracelet from his pocket. "I got this for you. Happy anniversary, honey."

She leaned over and kissed him again and took his hand in hers. "I love you, Wally."

Wally smiled warmly down at his wife. "You too, sweetheart."

In Wally's ear, there was a quiet beep of his ever present Justice League of America communicator. Wally winced at the sound and glanced down, hoping that Linda hadn't heard it. She had.

"Wally?" Linda asked, her frown severe.

"Don't worry," Wally soothed. "They know that it is our anniversary tonight. This will be quick. I promise."

"I've heard that before," Linda said.

"This is the Flash. What is it, J'onn?"

"Sorry to interrupt, Wally," J'onn's voice said, "but we have something of a situation here."

"What's going on?" Wally asked, shooting a furtive look at his wife.

"Batman has found something rather disturbing. He is hoping to assemble all of the members of League."

"I understand," Wally said. "Can it wait a while?"

"Of course," J'onn said. "Superman, Wonder Woman, and Kyle Rayner are all here but Hawkgirl is still on her way back from Thanagar. If you wish, I can contact you when she arrives."

"Please," Wally said. Depending on when Kendra Saunders left Thanagar, she should be arriving either later tonight or in the morning. "But I think I better go before Linda's glare cuts me into pieces."

"A battle in which not even I would wish to face," J'onn said with his typical dry amusement. "Please apologize to Linda for me and enjoy your dinner."

"I will," Wally said. "Later, J'onn."

Wally West, back in the well known red and gold of his uniform, walked off the transporter and down onto the main command center. Batman's artificial gravity, a byproduct of Kryptonian technology, did a good job of creating an Earth like replication on the moon-based headquarters for the Justice League of America, but Flash could still feel the slight differences but by the time he reached Superman, Batman, and the other four hero's on Earth, he had forgotten about it entirely.

"So what's the big emergency, Batman?"

"The Watch Towers sensors picked up an anomaly in space several hours ago," Batman said, touching a key or two and brought up a large display of space. It wasn't a color picture like you would see on television but a graph of space and what might have been a black hole forming.

"So it's a black hole, then?" Kyle asked, his tone sounding confused. "What's the big deal with that?" Kyle was the newest member of the Justice League of America and had often showed his inexperience in the past with questions like this when there was some underlying problem but this time, Wally had to agree with the Green Lantern.

"The big deal is that it formed in the exact coordinates of where Apokalypse use to be. Coincidence?"

"I thought you didn't believe in coincidences?" Kyle said.

"I believe in them," Batman said, glancing at Green Lantern then back at the screen and the flurry of numbers and equations. "I just don't trust them."

"That's nothing new," Superman said, resting a hand on Batman's shoulder.

"So what exactly are you expecting us to do about it?" Hawkgirl asked. Technically, Kendra Saunders was not from Thanagar, being born in Texas but lived most of her life in St. Roche, Louisiana. As an orphan, Kendra attempted suicide in her teen years to escape her tormented life. Incidentally, she was then inhabited by the spirit of an ancient Egyptian princess and the first Thanagarian to arrive on Earth. Since then, she was trained by her grandfather, Speed Saunders, an adventurer from the 1940's, and was he who gave Kendra the original artificial wings from that first Thanagarian which stretched out behind her and the green and yellow outfit and hawk headdress.

"At this point there is very little that we can do," Batman said. "What concerns me is that this does not appear to be a black hole." Batman tapped the screen with one finger. "There is not enough mass for it to be one. In fact, as far as the Watch Towers sensors are concerned, there is no mass at all."

"So what could it be?" Superman said, frowning.

"I don't know," Batman said. "I have sent probes out that direction but it will be some time before I have any conclusive ideas."

In the darkness just before dawn, the ever vigilant Batman kept a close eye on his center monitor as his probe creped ever closer to the anomaly. As he had been certain of, this was no black hole. Space itself warped light in a beautiful kaleidoscope that seemed completely unnatural, much less at all possible.

Batman's eyes narrowed behind his cowl as the probe finished getting into position and revealed its picture; several hours late because of the great distance. It took Batman several minutes to understand what it was he was looking at. He was looking at Earth but it was not his Earth. He was looking through this anomaly as if looking through an elaborately trimmed window but where his Gotham was shinny and clean, this Gotham was wrought and foul, a place where murder and corruption passed as daily norm.

Even as he watched, he could see an alternate version of himself swinging through the buildings with a younger Robin following close behind as they chased down one of the Dark Knights foes. Like watching a slide show, the image wavered and shifted to show a Metropolis very different from his own. A place were Superman flew through the sky and landed atop a building named "The Daily Planet". There, someone met Superman with an embrace and a kiss. Who was that?

The image shifted again and, revealing a man wearing an outfit similar to that of this Earth's Captain Marvel only with a black outfit with a gold lightning bolt across his chest and a matching belt sash and boots. The banners behind him as he sat on a throne, in a different language but thanks to Batman's sophisticated computer, Batman could read them as banners proclaiming Black Adam as the ruler of Khandaq.

Large androids with a single blazing eye swept through the skies in another scene, killing super heroes and villains alike as they opposed the OMAC's. Fire erupted around the city, which Batman belatedly realized was Keystone City, Wally West's home town.

One final image passed briefly upon the screen before a twitter from the probe announced its detection of another anomaly. Barbara Gordon, the original Batgirl, confined to a wheel chair, typing rapidly at a computer.

Batman tore his eyes away from the scenes and immediately sent out more probes to find any more of the distortions then sat back in his chair and tried to process what he had just witnessed. Were these visions of alternate realities? Or could they possibly be merely visions of potential futures or what could have beens?

After several hours of running questions around his mind, he stood. This was beyond him and he needed answers. Despite his reluctance, it was time to consult with the founding members of the Justice League of America.

"I see," Captain Marvel said, resting his chin on one powerful fist. "And you are certain of what you saw?"

"Of course," Batman said. "I have a complete documentation of the events right here." He pulled out a data chip and reached it forward. Beside Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel stepped forward and accepted the chip with a smile. On Captain Marvel's other side, Captain Marvel Jr turned on the over head screen of the Justice League's Metro Tower while Mary placed the chip into a reader.

Despite his name, Captain Marvel Jr bore no actual relations to either Mary Marvel or Captain Marvel but long ago after being nearly killed by a villain named Captain Nazi, Captain Marvel split his power with the young Freddy Freeman and transformed him into Captain Marvel Jr by calling out his idols name. As such, he began calling himself CM3 to prevent himself from turning back into his mortal form and called Captain Marvel "Big Red" instead. From then on, the original Justice League of America consisted of those three. Batman, Superman, and the rest of the League followed shortly their after.

"What we are looking at are visions through what is called the Source Walls," Captain Marvel said, drawing upon the Wisdom of Solomon. "A long time ago an ill-conceived experiment was carried out by an Oan scientist that created an Infinite number of universes. As I understand, many of them were similar to each other, with only minor variations of each other, most dramatically altered and twisted where neither you, nor I, or anyone else we know existed.

"At the same time, a negative universe was also created called the anti-matter universe of complete evil. In the positive realm, a being called the Monitor stepped in to become the guardian of the multiverse. In the anti-matter universe, the negative version of the Monitor also came forward and tried to introduce a new wave of entropy into our realm. The Monitor defeated the Anti-monitor in the end but at the cost of his own life and the infinite universes were collapsed into one. Or so the story goes."

Captain Marvel's brow creased in concern. "I had always assumed that this Earth was the compilation of that event but now I am beginning to have my doubts."

"What does this all mean for us," Superman asked. "Is the multiverse being resurrected again? If so, how do we stop it?"

"I am not certain," Captain Marvel said. "Nor am certain that we should. All of this just doesn't make any sense. I will have to speak with the Wizard on the Rock of Eternity before we make any moves. The problem really is in who's doing this."

"You mean as in one individual?" Batman asked darkly. "Is that possible?"

"You would be surprised, Batman," Captain Marvel said. "The universe itself, not just our own but in any of them, everything is based in probability rather than possibility. For example, what are the probabilities that you, Superman, would have been shot off through space and just happened to arrive on a planet with breathable air for you survive on, or even more improbably that the man and woman that found you were kind and noble rather than harsh and exploitive."

"I suppose you are right," Superman said.

"My concern is that magic has much to do with keeping the Source Walls in place and impenetrable. If there are holes appearing into other universes, then there may be a magical connection. Which I why I must go to the Wizard and learn more. If you will all excuse me." Standing up, Captain Marvel strode from the monitor room, leaving Mary and Captain Marvel Jr behind with the rest of the League.

Outside on the Earth based Tower of Justice, Captain Marvel looked into the skies. With one powerful push, the World's Mightiest Mortal launched himself into the Heavens. Although the Rock of Eternity did not truly exist in any one realm, the Wizard preferring to exist just outside of reality, Captain Marvel soon found himself magically transported outside of the fortress. Shaped like an enormous diamond, the rock floated on the boundaries of reality, forever hidden from the eyes of those in which it protects.

Captain Marvel landed lightly at the entrance to the rock and strode confidently inside. He had been here many times in the past, either to gather knowledge or ask permissions from the one who had bestowed his powers to him. The fortress itself housed not only the wizard Shazam, but also contained the Seven Deadly Sins of man, preventing them from ravaging the cosmos.

Despite the evil this place contained, the Rock of Eternity was a place of solitude and a place to draw absolute wisdom. Stalagmites hung from the high ceiling like works of art, their slightly dulled tips looking sharp enough to spear through the Great Wall. Ancient artifacts from a forgotten age lined the entrance hall to the core of the rock. Horrifically twisted human faced busts lay side by side with the regal looking figures of ancient Egypt. Next to them where scarabs and hawks, some carvings that symbolized various goods or evils, others frozen in legend.

He had made it maybe halfway to the wizard's throne room when the Rock of Eternity shuttered violently. Large sections of rock fell from the tall ceiling to crash with unnatural force upon the ground. Captain Marvel did not hesitate. He flung himself down the passage way until he made it to the center of the fortress where a terrible sight awaited him.

The 5,000 year old wizard lay on the floor, his fingers clutching his elaborate throne and a look of horror consumed his gaunt face. His long white hair and beard were flung about, flecked with the red of his own blood from what could only have been a vicious battle as ancient relics littered the floor around him. His body, incredibly fit for even a man in his early thirties, was bruised and broken; one leg pointing in more directions than his joints could ever afford.

Standing over Shazam was a ghastly figure. An instrument of retribution, the Spectre, normally one of the greatest forces of good in any realm, quietly fulfilling justice where ever the ghost found sin, held a form of a human with a chalk white body wrapped in a hunters green cloak and hood. Despite the hood, it did not disguise the marred face as plasma leaked like blood from its disfigured face, nor over his body. Even as Captain Marvel looked on in shocked horror, he could see the magical ghost reconstituting itself; literally pulling itself back together after the damage the wizard had inflicted.

"Spectre!" Captain Marvel shouted in rage as he started to rush forward but before he could reach the wizard, another shutter of the Rock of Eternity dropped more building sized rocks to crash down around them, several passing directly through the Spectre's intangible body. Shazam's eyes locked onto to his champions for only the briefest of heart beats but the meaning behind the look was infinite.

"So it ends," he said, his voice resigned but under control. "For now." And with a crash, an enormous boulder crushed Shazam and the high backed throne.

"No!" Captain Marvel shouted and dashed forward.

"Foolish mortal," the Spectre said, its voice the cool hissing of a cobra as it turned to face Captain Marvel, its green cloak spreading out like giant wings. "You are already too late."

"OUT OF MY WAY!" Captain Marvel screamed. His punch passed clean through the vengeful spirit with not but a tug to mark its passage. Spectre retaliated with astonishing strength, grabbing hold of Captain Marvel and slamming him into one wall and one deathly cold fist wrapped around Captain Marvel's throat where not even his great strength could pry it loose.

"Why are you doing this?" Captain Marvel asked as he clawed at the impossibly powerful hand that choked him. "You fight for justice, don't you?"

"My only purpose is to eliminate evil," Spectre said. "Magic is a perversion to the Gods orderly laws. By eliminating magic, all magic, evil itself shall be purged from the universe."

"What are you talking about? Some of the greatest heroes for good are magic users. Zatanna, Adam Strange-," Captain Marvel managed, his breathing becoming more and more strained as Spectre's grip tightened. "But you are a product of magic, too. That would mean killing yourself."

"I am not ignorant of this fact," Spectre said, passing over Captain Marvel's arguments. "Once all other magic is gone, I will extinguish myself. That way, the universe will be cleansed of all evil. So it was written. So shall it be done." With that, the Spectre vanished into wisps of smoke.

Captain Marvel fell to the ground, gasping for breath and wondering what in the world had gotten into the Spectre. Before he could stand, a mystical presence seemed to coalesce in front of him like particles of sand being drawn together before taking the glowing shape of Shazam.

"Billy Batson," Shazam said, his voice reverberating all around the disintegrating room. "You are my greatest champion and this universe's greatest hope for salvation."

"What is happening?" Captain Marvel asked. "First, there are visions from beyond the Source wall start showing up, then the Spectre kills you, what's next?"

"Indeed, I am dead," Shazam said. "But not all is yet lost. The Infinite Crisis is about to begin. There is much you need to learn yet not enough time to learn it. Listen very carefully." Shazam seemed to take a moment to collect his thoughts before continuing on. "Before the Anti-Monitor was slain, it had annihilated all but five realities from existence. This is one of those realities that has been named Earth Five. Four others remain, a glimpse into one of those you already have. That Earth is called Earth One and the focal point of the entire multiverse. If that Earth is destroyed, and make no mistake that the Spectre, if unchecked, could do so in its delusioned state, it will set off chain reactions that will wipe out the multiverse and leave only the anti-matter universe in its wake." Around them, the Rock of Eternity cracked and shook like a beast in its final death throws.

"As we speak, the Spectre's mad rampage is collapsing the magical boundaries that keep the five Earth's separated from each other and soon, these five realities will collapse into one. What will happen then, I do not know. There are too many possibilities to sift through and too many contradictions to smooth but one thing is for certain. The Spectre must be stopped at all costs before it tears apart the entire multiverse for good."

"I understand," Captain Marvel said, standing up and facing Shazam. "No matter what the costs, I will not let that happen."

Outside the Rock of Eternity, reality swept past, changing scenes and places faster than eyes could realize what was there before it vanished from that reality. More chunks of stone fell from the rock, crushing people, vehicles, temples, and mountains as it flashed by before it appeared over a new Earth. With one final flash of mystical light, the Rock of Eternity cracked, shuttered, sagged, and then exploded.

To be continued...

I have been looking forward to doing this one for quite some time. This story will explain quite a lot as to the complexities of this DC Comics/Marvel/VIZ Media compilation. I hope you all enjoy and please remember to REVIEW!
