Chapter One

Two Weeks Later, At Metro Tower

Wesley watched as his dad, Conner Kent, checked out his costume changes in the floor-length mirror. Wesley was thinking hard.

Conner had asked for one adjustment to his black and red costume (think of Superman's new 52 look but in black and red). On his red belt was the old logo of the S that Clark had worn proudly on his chest for decades. He wanted to pay homage to all of the work his older brother had done.

He noticed how his youngest son was staring and Conner knew that look. M'gann had that same stare. He cleared his throat. "Wesley?"

Wesley snapped out of it. "Yeah, Dad?"

"What is it?" Conner asked.

"Nothing."

"Wes...your Mom has that same look when she's thinking."

Wesley sighed. "Dad...who am I supposed to be?"

Conner walked to his son and sat down so he didn't tower over him. "Explain that."

"Am I supposed to be a White Martian or Green Martian? Am I supposed to be like Great Uncle J'onn or like Mom."

"Wes..."

Wesley cut him off. "I know I can't be Kryptonian. Kara, Kevin and Luna are Kryptonian and do that side of them proud; so...who am I?"

Conner had to think about that for a few moments. "You're you." Conner finally said.

"But. Who. Am. I?"

Conner realized that this wasn't going to be solved in a half an hour.

At Baton Hill

Meygan sat at the grave site of her family, meditating.

She could feel the magic that swirled around those graves, and she SO needed the guidance of the dead…of the ghosts themselves. She reached deep inside her soul and her light pulsed.

She was in a forest. The trees were lush, the streams were running. She looked back and saw Baton Hill with all its glory.

She looked ahead and saw a toddler kneeling before the water.

Fearing for that kid, she ran to save him.

She touched the toddler and he turned.

When she saw his face; she knew who he was. "Trey?"

"You're Meygan."

"Uncle Trey?" Meygan said, still in disbelief about meeting this spirit.

"Yeah; I think we just got that…and you're Meygan."

Meygan felt like she was going out of her mind.

"You want to see Trinity?" he asked.

Meygan's eyes widened.

A gust of wind came from behind her and she turned.

"Leave my brother alone...meanie." A young voice said.

The wind died down and there was Trinity, as a toddler.

"Wait. Aunt Trinity?"

"Huh? You look like Serenity." Trinity said softly.

"She's my mom."

"Kids, let us go somewhere more...suitable."

There was a flash and Meygan was at the table in the main hall of Camelot Castle.

"What's going on?"

"You came for answers."

The woman before her was an older spit image of her mother. The man next to her had light brown hair and grey eyes.

"Grandma? Grandpa?" Meygan asked. She didn't know how to react to seeing the ghosts of her family. "Um..."

"Meygan," her grandmother whispered. "You can ask."

"Okaaayyy... How do I take out Zacharius?"

"Very direct; so much like Serenity." her grandfather said with a proud smile.

"I get that a lot." Meygan said.

"Taking out an uncle who has centuries on you? Very dumb." Trey spat out with a smile.

"I'm aware of what our son did to Camelot and is doing to you and your family now. You DO know that you can't beat him, even with Excalibur." her maternal grandfather had spoken harshly.

"Wait... I'm not an Omni-Wizard?!" Meygan cried.

"Re-lax!" said Trinity. "You are. He's just too smart for you."

Meygan put her hands on her hips. "Gee, thanks." she said sarcastically.

"You feel like you HAVE to do this all on your own...but you're not alone."

"I know that, but I can't endanger any of the other wizards." Meygan interjected.

"Daddy means the queen, trust in her." Trinity remarked with a smile. Meygan heard the confidence in her aunt's voice, but then her grandmother cleared her throat.

"You need Marik."

"Which one?" Meygan asked.

"Our son. You may not know this, but he came dangerously close to taking out Zacharius.

Meygan was floored.

"Ok...so if I can't beat him, how can my family stop him?!"

"Cassidee."

"She's not an Omni wizard!"

"Meygan...she is. It's due to the lack of training as a toddler, it's just taking much longer." Serenity's mother explained.

"He did that on purpose."

"I like her, dear. Very sharp and speaks her mind. Serenity all around." Her grandfather said as he held his wife's shoulder.

"To stop Zacharius, you need to drain our magic."

"I can't." Meygan said, a shocked look on her face.

"You can and will, but unlike Marik, you can drain magic from everyone, not just water wizards."

"That kind of spell though..." Meygan remarked.

"If you're given permission, then you can touch them, take it, and not need Excalibur." her grandmother explained.

Meygan had so much to think about.

"Meygan, don't forget, trust in the queen, okay." Trinity said as she walked up to her niece.

"I won't. But...he...did you..."

"No. We saw it too late..." Trey whispered.

"But why? Do you know why?"

"He did it for attention. It was how Morgan noticed him. He...felt like he was being ignored. It was him, Marik, Gallaen, Serenity, Trinity, Trey and I had been expecting..."

Tears came to Meygan's eyes at the last words from her maternal grandmother. "I never knew about you expecting….."

"You don't think on it, Meygan. You can do this if you truly try. One misstep and you're gone." her grandfather added.

Meygan felt a thud in her head and she blinked her eyes.

She was still at the graves of her family.

"I guess I need a plan." Meygan remarked.

Grayson Property

After talking to his father, Wesley Kent still didn't have a straight answer so he was flying along the beach and that's when he saw Areina, the young mother that had cared for him when he was just a toddler and she also watched him when she was needed. If anyone could help him understand himself, he figured she could.

"Ari?" Wes shouted as he flew toward her.

"Wes, what's wrong?"

"Do you know who I am?" Wes questioned.

"What do you mean, sweetie."

"You know my secret, but am I a white Martian like mommy, or is the green Martian in the family what I am?"

Areina could see the question in his eyes and knew he wanted an answer. "You know why you don't have any Martian or Kryptonian weaknesses...don't you?"

"Yeah...So..."

"It made your dad unique too, that human DNA inside of him helped him fight Clark and STILL remain conscious when the Kryptonite that Uncle Dick had brought as plan B was used. It may have vanished some when Conner got a blood transfusion from Clark, but it's still within ALL of you Kent kids, it just so happens that you didn't get ANY of your parents' weaknesses. We're all who we are. Just find that and you'll have your answer."

Later that Night

Wesley stared out at the night sky. He talked to a few other people after his dad told him to go explore himself, then talking to Areina only added more questions.

He was no closer to the answer than he was at the start of his quest.

Half of him came from Kryptonian DNA, yet no Kryptonian powers or weakness to Kryptonite.

He had human blood in him but like his father, that blood didn't define him.

He was the only one that could define who he was.

"Penny for your thoughts?" whispered Iesha as she stood next to Wesley.

"Hey Ie."

"What were you thinking so hard about?" She asked.

"Who I am."

"You're Wesley." Iesha said with a smile.

"But what else?"

"Why does there need to be an else?"

Wesley thought about that for a few moments.

"You're putting too much into it. Besides, when I grow up, I plan to be a forensical science."

"Um, that's forensic scientist."

"Who cares?"

"Isn't that what your great uncle did?" Wes asked, remembering the history of the heroes.

"Yeah. So?"

Then it dawned on him. He was the only one that cared about who he was. No one else did. "You're right, Ie."

"Thanks." She took his hand. "Want some tacos? Mom made them."

"Are there any left?" he teased.

"She made 300." Iesha said with a smile. "We only ate about 250. Besides, I'll be the Ultimate Speedster someday, like you'll be the Ultimate Martian. So let's go!"

Wesley followed Iesha back to her house and smiled for Iesha had his answer.

He was the Ultimate Martian…according to her.

….And that's all he cared about.

Two Weeks Later

The Light was ready for the JLU when they arrived and it was the main six members: Superman, Aquagirl, Big Barda, Warhawk, Kai-Ro and Micron. The disaster in Central City was too big for Flash alone so he gave the JLU the mission. Slade Bots had entered the city and caused the citizens to scramble. Once the bots were just about gone, the Light saw their opportunity. Ra's and Zach were hiding in the shadows and ready to spring their trap.

"Is the Yellow Lantern ready?" Zach asked.

"Yes; Sinestro despises the Green Lanterns and your plan will work for Kai-Ro as Sinestro is very smart and powerful."

"I hope you are right."

"I see you found a way to stop Superman, but is it operational?"

"Yes." Zach answered.

"Then let us begin." Ra's said and with that he came out of the alley and Superman spotted him….well spotted Ebon.

As the Man of Steel started flying toward 'Ebon', Zach came out of the alley holding a strange device…one that Superman recognized.

"Where did you…" Superman asked as he stopped two stories in the air.

"You know where…thanks to a clone friend of mine…well before he was found dead." Zach said. "Have a nice rest of your life, Kryptonian, which won't be long."

The immortal sorcerer fired the weapon and a red beam headed toward Superman, which he seemed shocked that it wasn't yellow orange. Once the beam hit, Superman fell under the Earth's gravity and created a crater. As Ra's and Zach walked to the edge of the crater, they smiled as they saw a small pool of blood under his head.

Back at the fight; after Kai-Ro, Earth's current and only Green Lantern, took out the last of the Slade Bots in his sector of the city, he felt something and recognized the energy right away.

"Nice to see you again, young Kai-Ro. It's a shame that Stewart is dead and Jordan has retired. With Garner now dead this world will know fear like it never has before."

Kai-Ro turned to see a DISGRACED EX-Green Lantern floating nearby with a yellow aura surrounding him.

"It is not wise to pick a fight with me, Sinestro." Kai-Ro said with his ring aimed at his enemy.

"You're nothing but a pacifist, boy. Why a ring chose you is beyond me." Sinestro replied.

"Violence is never the answer, but if I have to I WILL attack you."

Sinestro scoffed at this. "You may have the willpower for that ring, but your COMPASSION keeps you from doing what is right with it."

"From what I know; you were a wonderful and revered Green Lantern…until you decided that fear was stronger than willpower. I will not give you the satisfaction of feeding off my fear." Kai-Ro bravely said.

Sinestro was mad at this point and an explosion drew the young Green Lantern's attention and that's when the Sinestro Corps founder quickly flew to Kai-Ro and punched him in the stomach. Kai-Ro's eyes widened and Sinestro grinned as he pulled his hand back and was seen to have made a set of spiked brass knuckles…and those spikes had blood on them.

Kai-Ro fell to the ground and his blood started to show on his stomach were there were now four holes in his body. The pacifistic Green Lantern tried to form a fist to punch Sinestro back but he felt the world shift, and his eyes rolled as another JLU member arrived. Just then another JLU member arrived.

"Get away from Kai-Ro!" The hero said.

"Micron isn't it; well let's just see how well you do against me." Sinestro remarked.

"Alright, but let's just say you've been warned." Micron said as he started to grow.

Once he was about two and a half stories tall, a needle came out of nowhere and pierced the size changing hero's skin. Thinking it was just a sedative to knock him out; he continued to grow to fight the affects but didn't get much further as once he was about three stories tall, he felt it: something burning in his blood as he felt incredibly weak and fell asleep. He fell backward and was now unconscious, then returned to his regular size.

Warhawk and Barda were still fighting their sets of bots when Warhawk saw Kai-Ro and Micron go down.

"Barda, we're losing…any ideas?"

"Did you guys forget me? I'm on my way. And I'm sure Ebon's itching for a fight with me."

"Alright Static; we'll hold these guys off till you get here." Barda said over the link.

Warhawk landed with the last of the distressed citizen so he took to the sky to start fighting the bots. On a nearby roof, a figure appeared out of the half Thanagarian's view.

"Time to introduce myself." The figure said and it pulled out a strange gun.

The gun was aimed at Warhawk's back and a laser left it as soon as the trigger was pulled. Warhawk was hit and cried out as the laser went into his back and moved.

"WHAT…" The hero said as he turned around and saw that his wings were gone; he started to fall and as he did, he caught sight of his attacker. Warhawk could have sworn it was Gear. He soon enough fell to the ground and was out of the fight.

"WARHAWK." Marina cried out and a tidal wave came to help her fight.

"Hello Atlantean." A voice said.

Marina turned around and saw Zach flying right for her. She knew she had a fight on her hands as he probably wanted to try and take her magic channels.

Zach stopped a good distance from her and smiled. "I am after stronger ones than yours, brat, your father should just surrender his kingdom to me."

"Father will NEVER surrender to anyone." Marina said as she was ready for a fight.

"This humid wind will see to your end, and your father's kingdom WILL be mine. Dniw dimuh ni reh revoc." Zach said then cast his spell.

The humid wind was too much for the Atlantean princess and it remained around her for some time. The humid wind was too much for her. As she summoned her water wave to combat the wind, her skin cooled enough to put 'cracks' into that spinning wind tornado.

Zacharius then forced the water away from the wind, taking control of the wave from Marina.

Soon enough, it dissipated and Marina fell to the ground. Zach walked closer and saw that her dense Atlantean skin was cracking and there were several spots where it was so bad that she was bleeding.

"Stupid girl, you should have known better than to fight a master sorcerer." He said with an evil grin.

"Aquagirl!" Barda shouted after she got close and saw the condition of her teammate.

"This will be fun; I hear you've endured MANY tortures. The question is, have you endured this?" Zach said with a smile as he turned to the Apokoliptian Fury turned hero.

"Anything you can throw at me." Barda said as she readied her Mega Rod for whatever Zach was planning.

"Very well." Without speaking another word Zach's body turned to water and he rushed at her.

Just as he was about to trap her in a water prison; lightning hit the water. The living water was disoriented at first and turned back to Zach, but it didn't last long as the evil Omni wizard took control of the electricity, redirected it away from himself, then went back to his water form and separated into two directions: one way was Barda….the other way was seen to be Static.

Both heroes were encased in the water and Static's body shorted out. Soon he and Barda were drowning. It lasted for about five minutes then the prisons left their captives and the two heroes fell to the ground.

"The younger generation will be here soon, we must leave them for the next part of the plan." Ra's said as he came out of the Shadows.

"Yes; my sister is going to pay. I hope my step son has captured the traitor." Zach said as he solidified.

"That will be interesting…why would you want young Cassidee back?"

"That is MY business." Zach said and he turned to leave.

"Very well." Ra's said and he vanished in his own portal.

Zach then teleported away in fire.

Ten Minutes Later

Nightwing I, Flash, Red Arrow, Serenity, and a couple of powerhouses from Alpha squad came to the site after hearing from the local PD that the threat was neutralized, yet the JLU had been rendered unconscious.

"No way." Flash AKA Wally West said as he saw that Warhawk's Nth metal artificial wings had been cut from his armor and there was a cut THEOUGH the armor and in his back.

"This was precision planned." Nightwing one said as he checked the nearby Marina.

"They knew how to take each member down with their weakness." Serenity said as she and Red Arrow checked on Superman.

"Let's get them to Metro Tower, maybe we can figure out what happened from there." Red Arrow said.

Nightwing nodded his agreement and the heroes each picked up a fallen JLU member and soon enough they got through a boom tube to care for the fallen heroes.

"Wait...what's that written on the wall." Nightwing said as he paused getting in the tube. He walked over to the wall of a building that had been damaged. He then saw the faint glow of letters get brighter and brighter as he neared.

He then saw the words as clearly as if it was sunny out.

The war has begun. Death to the

traitor and all who follow.

"Dick?"

"We need to get the JLU back to the Tower…" Dick said with urgency in his voice.

"And call in the teams?" Roy added.

Nightwing nodded his agreement and with that Roy and Dick headed into the boom tube.
