A/N: Thanks for the reviews for the previous chapter guys though it was kind of short as it was only a prologue. Some of you were disappointed that the JL (Justice League) didn't have any screen time, well this new chapter will be JL all the way (Sorry DBZ fans .). As you can see, this will be my first thousand word chapter, thus it would be great if you could leave some feedback in your review :) It will help me a lot in writing the future chapters ;)

Let the first official chapter of Justice League Z begin! dOb

Chapter 1: They Came From Mars

On the fourth planet from the Sun, two astronauts were conducting scientific research on the planet, hoping to find some elements that proves that life can be sustained on Mars.

"Would you look at that, a little slice of heaven." Said an astronaut while staring into the depths of space above him.

His partner looked a little irritated, "Carter, we didn't come for the view. We are here for scientific research, now concentrate on the objective will you?"

The astronaut just smiled back at his friend. His partner rolled his eyes before asking, "So, any readings on your side?"

Carter looked at his machine readings and it showed no signs of water being detected. "Nope, no detectable levels of H2O." He replied in a disappointing tone while turning to face his partner. Just then, in a few meters away, something shiny caught his attention. "Hold on." Carter stopped whatever he was doing and "hopped" over to the shiny object. "What is it?" his partner replied.

As the gravity was smaller on Mars as compared to Earth, Carter was able to hop quite a few distance before landing beside what looked like a crystal. He knelt down, took out his pickaxe and started mining the unknown crystal which was grey in color. He thought aloud, "Could be an ice crystal." His partner was startled upon hearing what he said and removed his detector like device, going over to find out what his partner had discovered. If it was an ice crystal like what Carter said then it would be a breakthrough in the research on Mars! With each "hop" he got even more excited.

With that last chunk of rock out of the way, Carter brushed off the debris from the crystal caused by the mining with his pickaxe. With little effort, he removed the crystal and stood up inspecting it. It was smooth and unlike other rocks or crystals, its texture was completely different. He corrected his previous statement, "No its not an ice crystal at all. It looks almost organic."

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound coming from beneath the two astronauts. Carter's partner stopped a meter away from him upon hearing the noise. The rumbling grew louder and louder, and soon the ground beneath them started to vibrate. "Carter look out!" His warned while pointing to the floor in front. Carter, who was engrossed in the organic crystal, was shook back to reality and turned to his friend before turning back at where his friend was pointing to. The spot where he mined the crystal was starting to collapse and the hole grew bigger as more chunks of rocks gave way to the earthquake. More cracks started to form and those existing ones started to crawl outwards, with more of the terrain giving way. Carter took a few steps back before turning and running for life together with his partner ahead of him as the terrain started to give way even more. His partner managed to escape to higher grounds unharmed but Carter was not so lucky. The ground beneath him crumbled as he took his next step and gave way causing Carter to fall deep into the dark abyss. Soon enough, the earthquake stopped and all that was left was a huge hole filled with chucks of the terrain. After recovering from his shock, Carter's friend turned around and saw that Carter was missing. "Carter come in! Do you read me? Carter!" He anxiously tried to get a response from Carter through the communication device built-in his suit but no one replied.

Rolling and tumbling along with the debris, Carter landed in a dark unknown. "I'm ok Ed. Ed? Come in Ed!" He repeatedly tried to get his partner, Ed, to respond but the communication signal was dead, he was on his own. Because the cave was pitch black, Carter turned on the torchlight on his helmet and surveyed his surroundings. The area where he arrived from was sealed by debris and rocks, and that he was in what seemed like a cave. He turned around and gasped at what was before him, it was like a wall of some sort with some strange writings carved onto the wall. He couldn't believe his eyes that there was actually a structure built underground of Mars! He had made a groundbreaking discovery!

Carter traced the walls to its end and what he saw left him in awe, it was as if he was at the entrance of some sort of structure. He then made his way to what Carter thought was the entrance to the structure. In the middle of it was some mechanism that looks as if it was a lock of some kind keeping the structure's entrance sealed. 'I wonder what's behind his entrance, maybe I can pry open this mechanism' Carter thought to himself as he placed both hands on the lock and tried to turn it with all his might but it was not budging. Then he remembered that he has his pickaxe. Carter turned to look for his pickaxe and saw it in a distance behind him from where he first entered the cave. He picked it up and stuck it into the lock mechanism on the entrance. He summoned all of his muscle strength to try and pry it off. "Grrrraagh!" Carter grunted and true enough, the lock gave way and a "clank" sound was heard. In place of the lock was now a circular hole and as Carter went closer to inspect it, light shone from within the structure which can be seen through the hole. The light spread upwards through the markings on the entrance and then it opened by itself, revealing nothing but blinding light. Echoes could be heard which sounded like shrieks and Carter was taken aback by it. While he was processing what was happening in front of him, something came from within the blinding light and the last sound anyone heard was Carter's screams.

(Two years later)

Night time, in a Metropolis satellite lab, a black figure was running across the roof. He found a grill-locked air ventilation and removed the metal frame before stealthily jumping down landing on a platform near the ceiling. Four scientists were working late into the night and one of them was about to leave. The dark figure remained in the shadows on the platform and observed the four as he sensed something suspicious.

"Remember, Barbecue at my place Saturday night. You're all invited." Declared one of the scientists excitedly.

"I'll be there." Replied one of his colleagues, who was an Asian and skinny looking.

"Sounds great." Replied another of his colleague, who was probably a man in his 60s.

"Alright, see you there." Replied the last person who was a slightly plump and dark skinned woman.

"Ha ha, good night." Said the scientist who left the lab after waving goodbye to his fellow colleagues.

As soon as the doors are closed, there was a few seconds of silence before one of the remaining scientists stood up. The dark figure who was still hidden in the shadows paid closer attention while still remaining hidden. One of them spoke in some unknown language and the other two stood up as well. The three suspicious "scientists" then walked over to behind where their work stations are. There were two big metal storage cupboards and the skinny looking Asian went up to one of them and lifted it up with ease, exposing the wall behind it. The dark figure, who was still in the shadows, gave a look of surprise as there was no freaking way that skinny looking Asian could have lifted, let alone move, that heavy metallic cupboard with such ease. He continued to observe and saw the dark skinned woman walk towards the exposed wall before literally grabbing (using one hand) a chunk of the wall out, revealing what looked like a weirdly shaped black object with three red circular marks linked to one another by white patterns all over. The woman then took the object out and held it in her arms protectively before speaking in the same weird language. The skinny guy placed the cupboard down to where it belong before the three head towards the elevator. The hidden figure shifted his position whilst keeping track of them as the three walked into the elevator which was going up. He narrowed his vision, determined to see what they are up to.

Arriving on the roof, the three suspicious individuals climbed up the giant satellite mounted on the building itself. They walked along steel supports on the dish and head towards the transmitter at the center. The two stopped halfway while the woman carrying the black object continued towards the transmitter. She placed the object onto it and the black object changed somehow transformed into a liquid state and went into the transmitter. As soon as it went it, they heard someone spoke in a low tone, "I doubt that modification is legal." They turned around but only to have two of them being tied up by two well thrown bolas (rope with weights tied on each end). An hidden figure from before leaped on the two before jumping off using them as a platform, knocking them down. He landed in front of the dark skinned woman before speaking in a superior tone, "You guys should have stuck to your desk jobs."

The unknown figure was a well-built man who was suited in a dark grey suit. The first noticeable feature about him was the bat logo on his chest. He was wearing a black colored bat-eared hood, as well as a black colored cape. His also wore black gloves that reached near his elbow and had three sharp razor-like blades attached at the side. And his boots too were black in color. He goes by the alias of the Batman, a crime fighting superhero of Gotham City. As the Batman walked towards the woman, she suddenly went on the aggressive but with an expressionless face. She threw a right fist and he ducked just in time. He was not expecting that. The woman threw another right and this time, Batman blocked it using his arm. He was surprised as the strength behind that punch was abnormal. Caught off guard, a left swing hit his face and as soon as he turned back to face his opponent, a fist went straight to his guts. He bent over with his eyes opened wide. Batman was shocked at the strength behind that blow and knew this woman was not ordinary. While still stunned from the pain, the woman literally grabbed and threw him a distance. The Batman landed but on his knees, massaging his face where he was hit.

'This isn't gonna be an easy fight.' He thought, as his eyes narrowed as he thought of a strategy against these abnormal people.

The other two guys who were tied together stood up and suddenly changed their body to become thinner to free themselves. It was as if they were rubber. The bolas that was constricting them earlier fell to the ground and they were free. The woman then went on the attack first and ran a few steps towards Batman before leaping to abnormal heights. She stuck one leg out with the other tucked wanting to knock him down but he jumped backwards, evading her kick. Whilst in mid-air, he took out one of his signature weapons, the batarang, and threw it towards the woman. The batarang spun and flew towards the woman and it hit her head with a metallic clash before bouncing off her head. There was not even a single scratch and was as if her head was made of solid rock. The skinny looking Asian ran towards the Batman and with his abnormal strength, he pushed Batman off the platform. In a quick reaction, the Batman took out his bat-grapple and fired it towards the platform where it attached itself firmly. Using the momentum he got from the fall, he swung himself right back up to the platform.

"Need a hand?" Asked a guy from behind.

Batman turned around and knowing who it was, he turned back to his enemies, "Thanks, but I can handle this." Said the Batman in irritation as he preferred to handle the situation alone.

The man was floating in mid-air and he wore a red cape and a blue outfit with a red "S" shaped symbol on his chest. This was Superman the Kryptonian, superhero of Metropolis City.

"Hmm, they don't look so tough." Said Superman with confidence.

Seeing that another opponent has joined in, one of them spoke in the weird language which probably was to signal the rest to run away. And so they did, as the three turned their backs and ran with Batman and Superman giving chase. Superman was pretty confident that he could end this quick but out of a sudden, images begin flashing through his mind causing great pain. He screamed while grabbing onto his head till the images were gone and momentarily passed out from the pain. He fell crash landing behind causing the Batman to turn around wondering what happened to him. As the Batman tended to Superman, the three scientists ran to the other side of the satellite. One of them stopped and took out a controller which looked like a miniature version of the black object placed in the satellite transmitter. He aimed it at the transmitter before pressing the controller activating the black stuff. Energy started gathering in the transmitter for awhile before it glowed yellow. With his bat senses tingling, Batman placed Superman's arm over his shoulders, supporting him up before making an escape from the transmitter. The three scientists jumped off the satellite dish free falling down towards the ground.

With the bat-grapple still attached to the satellite and Superman's arm over his shoulders, the Batman jumped off the satellite dish as the transmitter exploded. Other parts of the satellite began detonating one after the other. One of the explosions caused Batman to lose grip on his bat-grapple, dropping Superman, throwing them both downhill. They tumbled and rolled for quite awhile before coming to a stop halfway.

Looking at the destroyed lab, Batman spotted the three scientists who landed a distance away beside the lab. Their bodies were bent in weird angles and one of them even got his arm stuck through the other's chest. The woman bent her painfully angled head back with a sickening crack and left the area with the other following two behind. They walked off unscathed into the woods, leaving no evidence behind.

Batman could only watch as his arm was injured from the explosion that hit him and Superman earlier. Just then, Superman woke up clutching his head.

"What happened?" He asked no one in particular.

"You tell me." Replied the Batman while helping the Man of Steel up.

"I'm not so sure. I saw images, they were so intense and then... nothing. Well that's all I can remember" Said Superman while trying to recall what he experienced earlier from the mental attack. Batman then turned towards the destroyed lab.

"Obviously they didn't want to leave evidence behind." Said the Batman changing the subject as he knew it was pointless getting Superman to recall something that he could not remember.

Confused at what was going on, Superman asked, "What's this all about?"

Batman turned back to face Superman before telling him of his findings, "Over the past few months I've detected several security breaches in our global deep space monitoring network."

"Then no one's claimed responsibility?" Superman questioned.

"No, there's to this than it meets the eye." Stated Batman believing that there was something fishy going on.

"I'd like to stay and look into it but I'm expected back in Metropolis." Said Superman while reaching for one of his compartments on his belt. He took out a watch and handed it to the Batman.

"It's a signal watch, call if you need anymore help." Superman told Batman before taking off into the skies towards Metropolis City.

Batman gave the watch a look and thought aloud, "Right..." As if the Batman requires help. He works ALONE.

Looking at the destroyed lab which was in flames, he recalled the difficulties he encountered when combating those... abnormal people or whatever they are. 'Best I keep this with me just in case.' Batman thought to himself. He gave the watch one last look before keeping it in his utility belt. He went back to his bat cave to recuperate and plan for his next course of action.

A few minutes after the Batman left the crime scene, the air above the burning satellite lab started to shimmer. Greenish lightning crackled around the shimmering area and a green portal expanded from the center. From there, a man wearing a blue martial arts gi with an orange undershirt with white gloves and boots fell out of the portal. With his quick reflexes and ability to fly, he stopped himself in mid-air. The man had hair that stood firm upwards with a widow peak. He also had two bangs like a downward "V" shape. "Phew, managed to stop myself in time." Said the martial artist. Almost immediately, the fire below caught his attention. His expression turned into that of a serious and concentrated one as he thought to himself, 'Looks like something happened just before I got here. Hmm?' With the ability to sense the Ki (life force) of others, he picked up three irregular Ki signatures not far from his location. 'This Ki isn't human, and going in the direction away from here fast.' The martial artist smirked, 'I think I'm beginning to like this place.' Levitating in mid-air with a pair of Potara earrings reflecting the moonlight, things are going to be exciting now that he has arrived.

Enter, Vegito.

Finally the moment everyone's waiting for, Vegito has arrived in the DC universe ^^ You might ask, "Why the big skip from the previous chapter?" Well, the previous chapter was only a prologue for me to kick-start this chapter and give a little background on Vegito. Fear not, for all will be revealed slowly as the story progresses. And yes as you can tell, this chapter was waaay longer than the previous one and I intend to keep it this way so that you guys can enjoy more of the story in each chapter :) Lastly, keep a lookout on the next chapter of Justice League Z!
