Kuro-tan: So this some kind of sequel to your previous fic
Game2002: You can say that, though it doesn't take place right after Universes' Finest. That honor goes to White World. This story takes place after The League of No Creativity.
By the way, thanks for reviewing! People seem to be coming to this site less and less, thus resulting in lesser reviews all the time. I really do hope that you will continue to review every chapter, or at least often. I will try my best to work on the quality of this story, so even if the wait is taking some time, please do know that it will be worth it in the end! I'm sure as long as I make this story exciting and high quality, more reviews will pour in!
Again, thank you very much!
God bless you!
I made the mistake of saying that the Joker scene at the end of the previous chapter came from the movie, because it sounds like he jumped into a vortex in that movie, which never happened. I was actually referring to the scene where he is having a conversation with his henchman regarding Harley's whereabouts.
Chapter 2
Entering the Land of Fantasy
"We've lost contact with the squad." That was what an A.R.G.U.S. operator told Waller when the former saw her computer screen showing the message that contact was lost.
Waller growled in frustration upon hearing this She tried all sorts of method to get in touch with Rick, but nothing worked. She even tried detonating the neck bomb of a random member, Killer Croc, but that didn't work as well. They were either somewhere too far away to be reached or in an entirely different universe now.
Due to the lack of cameras at the sewer, Waller still knew that the squad went into the vortex, as she heard what happened through Rick's communication device. She hated not being able to get in contact with the squad in fear of them going their own way, but at least Rick was there to keep them under control, assuming he still had control over the neck bombs.
"What do we do, director?" the same operator asked her.
"Search everywhere for them; otherwise, we'll just have to wait for them to call back, if they ever will," replied Waller.
The leisure area of Infernal Prison was a large space with several tables and chairs for inmates to hang out at. It was currently filled with people, both inmates and guards. the latter being there to keep the former under control.
Many of the people there looked human, though there were no humans in this place. Everyone present were demons of some kind. Some were indistinguishable from humans, but some had features such as horns, wings, tails, and odd skin colors.
Several of them had special cuffs around their necks to keep them from using their powers, which would help them escape with ease. It also lessened the strength of those with inhuman strength so that they were only as strong as an average person.
Seija had such a cuff around her neck in order to keep her from using her power to reverse things. Not that it made her less of a troublemaker, though. Even when unable to use her powers, she still found ways to get on people's nerves.
She hummed happily as she walked down the lane between two tables, looking for something to do. She noticed a female bespectacled inmate with pink hair tied into a ponytail reading a book, so she went up to her.
Seija didn't understand nor did she care what she was reading, but she still said, "Nice book you're reading, but I think it'll be a more interesting read if you..." She then took the book, flipped it upside-down, and placed it back into the inmate's hands. "There! That's better! Enjoy reading!" The inmate looked at the amanojaku with an annoyed face as the latter walked away before flipping the book right side up to continue reading.
The amanojaku then across two inmates playing jenga, the game where one builds a tower of blocks and then remove each of the blocks to place at the top, seeing who was able to keep the whole thing from collapsing. Both inmates were female, and one had a lizard tail, while the other had red skin and a pair of small curved horns sticking out of the sides of her forehead. Their tower was narrower towards the top, but thicker towards the bottom.
Seija observed them playing for a few seconds before suddenly grabbing the tower and then flipping it upside-down. Because the lower part was now narrower, the tower was unable to stand still properly, so after wobbling around for a few seconds, the whole thing came crashing down, and the amanojaku laughed. The lizard-tailed girl grabbed her collar in anger and said, "You have a death wish messing with us, don't you?"
"Just having a bit of fun! Why so serious?" replied Seija, undaunted.
"I ought to teach you a lesson!" that inmate said to her.
"Yeah! Beat her up! Kill her!" said the other inmate. Hearing and seeing this, all the others present turned to see what was happening and anticipated what would happen next. The prison guards were on alert to interfere in case things turned bad, but for now, they decided to stand by and see how things were going to turn out. They didn't like Seija, so they didn't mind seeing her suffer.
"You do know I'm bad at learning, don't you?" Seija said to the inmate. "You can school me all you want! I'm going to come back and turn your life upside-down again! Heeheehee!"
"You won't be doing that after I'm done with you!" the inmate said to her as she pulled back her fist, ready to punch her in the face. All of a sudden, a vortex appeared next to the former, and Harley came flying out of it and crashed into her, knocking her away and making her let go of Seija. The amanojaku backed away in surprise, and everyone else was surprised at what happened too.
Harley groaned in pain as she sat up on top of the lizard-tailed girl. "What a ride!" she said afterwards. "That was pretty fun! But I'm gonna get that snake for hitting me like that, though!" Shortly after saying that, the Evil Dragon flew out of the portal and landed in front of her. "Aha! Perfect timing!" She got out her bat to take a swing at the snake, but he moved away in time fast.
"This is the last time you're messing with me!" the Evil Dragon angrily said to her.
Harley stood up to face the snake, and shortly afterwards, the rest of the squad appeared from the portal to join her. "Oh, you guys are all here! I knew you couldn't bear to leave me alone!" Harley happily said to them.
"Teams always stick together, no matter what people it's consist of," Rick told her.
"Though honestly, I don't mind missing you out," Captain Boomerang said to her.
"I knew you'd care!" Harley said to the Australian with a smile.
Needless to say, the appearance of these people surprised everyone present to no end. "Ooh! Looks like something interesting is about to happen!" commented Seija with interest while rubbing her chin.
Noticing that Harley had the Necronomicon, the Evil Dragon swung his tail at it at a speed almost equivalent to the blink of an eye, snatching it away from her before she could figure out what happened. "This is mine! I will use it to get more power and conquer the world, and you won't stop me this time!" he said.
"Hey! I got it back, so you're not taking it again!" said Harley angrily as she whipped out her gun to fire at the snake, but he dodged it.
Deadshot aimed one of his wrist guns at the snake and fired rapidly, but the latter flew at a fast speed all over the place. The inmates and prison guards screamed and ran for cover to avoid getting shot by him. Captain Boomerang pulled out and threw several boomerangs at the snake, but as if the latter was seeing them coming in slow motion, he dodged them skillfully and swiftly. Some of those present were unfortunate enough to become the boomerangs' targets instead, though the Australian didn't care about who he hit all that much.
Bronze Tiger leaped at the Evil Dragon to slash him with his claws, only to miss. Killer Croc grabbed a nearby table and tossed it into the air at the snake, but the result was like the others. Killer Frost pointed her arms at the snake and fired icicles, but you can guess the result.
"I hate to say this, but that guy's good at dodging!" said Deadshot.
"Funny hearing that coming from the guy who never misses!" said Rick while trying to gun down the Evil Dragon with his machine gun. "Where are we by the way?"
"How would I know? You're the one who suggested that we come here in the first place!" Deadshot said to him.
Rick stopped shooting and observed his surrounding. Judging by the black and white striped clothing most of the people were wearing, they were obviously inside a prison building, but where exactly, as he saw people who were clearly not normal people due to their odd features. Wherever they ended up at, he had the feeling that they weren't going to get the best welcome party, especially after thrashing this place just trying to get rid of a snake claiming to be a dragon.
The rest of the squad ran around the place trying to get their hands on the Evil Dragon, not caring about the damage they were causing and the people they were hurting. As Harley busied herself trying to get rid of her target, she heard the voice of someone familiar calling out to her, and one that she cared about the most. "Oh Harley!" said the voice. She turned to the source of the voice and was more than overjoyed to see her favorite Mister J. "Pudding!"
Holding up his smartphone, the Joker said to her, "C'mon, Harley my dear! I've deactivated your neck bomb! We can get out of here now!" He pointed to the vortex behind him, but it disappeared when he turned to look at it. "Well duh..."
"Hey! How and when did you get here?!" a surprised Rick asked the Joker. The clown was the last person he expected to see showing up in a place like this.
"You've sure got guts taking my favorite girl away from me and using her like your toy!" the Joker said to her, "which is why I followed you guys all the way here to take her back!"
"Oh great... The last thing we need is another lunatic around here..." commented Deadshot upon seeing him.
"Every one of you! Stop what you're doing at once!" shouted a loud voice. Everyone turned to see several oni and fairy guards running into the leisure area with clubs and spears in their hands. Their ruckus had attracted the attention of most people at the place, so it was obvious that something would be done about the situation.
"Looks like we crashed into the wrong party..." said Captain Boomerang.
"Tell me about it..." said Killer Frost.
While everyone was distracted, the Evil Snake used the Necronomicon to create another vortex to escape through it. The Joker saw it and called for Harley to go with him into the vortex quick, thinking it could take them back to where they came from. As much as Harley enjoyed being with the squad, the thought of being with her most favorite person in the world was even better, so she happily ran towards the Joker to get out of this mess with him. She was suddenly pushed onto the floor on the head by Seija, who performed a leap frog over her. "Sorry! Coming through!" said the amanojaku. Harley was going to get back up, but she got pinned down by prison guards before she could do so.
Seija pulled down an eyelid and stuck out a tongue at everyone present before running into the vortex. The Joker looked at her running into it and then at the sight before him. He saw the rest of the squad being subdued by the prison guards, and as much as he wanted to help Harley, his selfishness got the best of him, especially when he saw a couple of guards nearing him. He swung a knife in their direction to repel them before running into the vortex. Before the guards could enter the vortex, it disappeared.
"Darn it! That snake got away again!" said Rick angrily while being held back by his captors.
"And we got ourselves into some deep s* too!" cried Captain Boomerang, who was also being held back.
As much as the squad wanted to fight back, they weren't able to do so due to the oni guards being much stronger than them. Killer Frost was knocked out after she froze her captor. Soon, the squad was taken out of the place, and order was eventually restored.
A vortex appeared in the middle of a forest, and the Evil Dragon came out of it, shortly followed by Seija and the Joker. Looking angrily at the two, the snake said, "You people are persistent, are you not? I can't believe I am running from you rather than fighting you! Just you wait! Once I've restored by full power and unlock the secrets of this book, I will see to it that you are the first ones to die! Until then, you better have your funeral prepared!" With that, he hastily flew away and disappeared among the trees, carrying with it the Necronomicon in its tail.
The Joker scratched his head and asked, "What was that all about? Do I know him?"
Seija observed her surroundings and then said, "Well, a familiar sight! I know this place! It's the forest not too far away from the Human Village! Looks like I made the right choice to jump through that portal after all! It was fun while it last in prison, but being out in the sun is a lot more fun!" She then stretched her arms as if waking up from a nice sleep and did a short workout.
The Joker looked at her doing such things with an unimpressed look and then said to her, "All right, you better tell me what I want to know, and you better give me a good reason for messing up my subordinate's chance of escaping with me! I'm not exactly in the best mood right now, and you wouldn't like it when I'm in a bad mood!"
Seija stopped what she was doing and looked at the Joker with a confused look, the reason she had no idea what he said at all, since he was speaking English, a language she was unfamiliar with. Shrugging and shaking her head, she said, "Sorry, I don't speak your language."
Unfortunately for the Joker, he didn't understand Japanese. Slapping his forehead, he said, "Great, I'm stuck with someone whose language consists of stuff like 'konichiwa' and 'sayonara...' I knew I should've taken Japanese school..."
The two looked at each other for several seconds, even tilting their heads and raising eyebrows. The whole situation almost looked awkward, to say the least. After several seconds of looking at each other with nothing to say, the Joker was on the verge of snapping and doing something when suddenly they both heard the sound of leaves rustling. They turned to see a woman dressed in traditional clothing of ancient Japan appearing from among some bushes and trees, carrying with her a basket full of herbal plants. Seeing the two, the woman nicely greeted them, "Hello! Nice to meet you! Good day, isn't it?"
"Yep! Good day! Haven't seen the sun in a while!" replied Seija, waving back at her. She then walked up to the woman and placed her arms around her neck. "Tell me, my fair lady, how fare things in the Human Village nowadays? Is everyone happy there that I'm gone?"
The woman was confused as to why she was asking her this, but after getting a better looking at the amanojaku, a look of horror appeared on her face as she realized who she actually was. "You... You're Seija, that wanted amanojaku!"
"Oh, took you a while!" said Seija. "Miss me?"
The woman was horrified and tried to run from her, but before she could scream for help, the amanajoku grabbed her head and, with a powerful twist, broke her neck. In fact, she twisted her head so hard that it almost went 180 degrees backwards. The woman dropped her basket of herbs and fell to the ground, obviously dead. Seija then searched around her clothes for valuable, and all she was able to dig up a small bag containing a few coins. "Not that bad of a start," she said.
The Joker approached her and the dead woman with a smile on his face. "I like what you did there!" he said in an impressed tone. "She seems to be terrified of you. Either it's what you said or you're someone she knows well and doesn't want to get involved with. It's a pity I have no idea what you're saying. I might actually like you if I can understand your moonspeak..."
Seija had no idea what the Joker was saying, and she wished she did. She rubbed her chin as she pondered if there was a way to communicate with him, and after much thinking, something came to her. She remembered there was something in the Human Village that might provide the solution to this language barrier issue. She gestured for the clown to come with her, and though the Joker didn't know what she was up to, he decided to go with her. It seemed to him that she was familiar with this place, so he might as well follow her around so that he wouldn't get lost. After all, someone who broke the neck of another person without hesitation couldn't be a bad person, at least to him, after all.
About a minute after they both left, a floating black sphere came over to where the dead woman was and hit a tree close to her. A feminine cry came from within the sphere before it dissipated, revealing Rumia to be inside it all along. The demon of darkness rubbed her head while crying in pain, which she forgot about as soon as she saw the dead woman. Landing next to her, she felt around the woman to check if she still had a pulse. After seeing that she was dead, she smiled happily and then clasped her hand together before giving thanks for her what was soon to be her meal.
After being subdued by prison guards, the squad was taken to the interrogation room to be questioned by the prison warden regarding their unexpected appearance and actions.
Language wasn't an issue, as Rick could speak Japanese and therefore communicate with the warden. Though he wanted to keep things as secretive as possible, he figured that it was better to be honest, but made sure not give out too sensitive information, such as the squad being composed of criminals. This was clearly a prison, so who knows what would happen if the people here learned about their presence.
After Rick explained to the warden their mission and how they got here to the warden, the latter told him that someone else would be speaking to them regarding this matter before leaving the room.
"So... how are things going?" Deadshot asked Rick.
"I'm sure everything will be under control," the soldier told him.
"You better have a solution for getting us out of here!" Captain Boomerang told him. "It was your idea that got us into this mess in the first place!"
"And I was so close to reuniting with Mister J!" lamented Harley.
"Speaking of which, what is the Joker doing here? How come we never noticed him on our tail all this time?!" asked Deadshot.
"Your question is as good as mine..." said Rick.
The door then opened, and in came a woman with green hair. Taking her seat directly in front of the squad, she said, "Greetings. I am Eiki Shiki, the judge of the afterlife." To the squad's surprise, she spoke English.
"Finally, someone who doesn't moonspeak!" said Deadshot.
"Judge of the afterlife? Yeah, we're totally screwed, considering who we are," commented Captain Boomerang while chucking, implying that he didn't actually believe her.
"Trust me; I do have the power to determine whether you go to heaven or hell after you die," Eiki told him. "And I can already see that all of you here more or less are deserving of hell."
"Cool!" commented Harley for whatever reason.
"Do you get excited over everything?" El Diablo asked her.
"That's a pretty harsh first impression... You gotta work on that," Deadshot said to the judge.
"I'm being honest," said Eiki. "The pitch blackness of sin seeps deep within your hearts. You people have committed atrocious crimes and managed to laugh it off without a shed of remorse and guilt. You may try to hide it with your outward appearances and even actions, but you cannot hide what is in your hearts, for that is what I see when I look at a person." She then turned to Rick. "You, however, are in the gray area. You are a soldier, a man on a mission, so there are times when you are forced to make tough decisions that are morally questionable, but even so, there are times you purposely chose to take the path that could have been avoided, claiming that things are better off that way."
"I won't deny that," said Rick, sounding a bit guilty. "I've done lots of things and swept them underneath the rug, hoping to forget about them... Can't say I'm always proud of what I do, but as a soldier, some things are inevitable..."
Eiki then turned to El Diablo. "You have remorse and guilt in your heart for the actions you have committed. In your rage, you committed a mistake that can never be undone."
"You know what I did?" El Diablo asked her in shock.
"It doesn't matter whether or not I know the exact things you did, but I can tell in your heart that there is good in you," Eiki said to him. "Every darkness has a ray of hope that can be found, and I'd say that your ray of hope is likely the brightest among these people. If you let go of your past and focus on what you can do in the future, surely you can forgive yourself and become a truly changed man."
"I don't know, ma'am... I was born with this curse..." said El Diablo as he made a small ember appear on the palm of his hand. "As long as this curse remains in me, I don't think I can ever forgive myself for what I did nor do I think I can amount to any good in this world..."
"There is always hope and the chance to make things right, as long as you have the heart to do so," Eiki said to him with a smile.
"Yeah, that's a good comfort talk and all," Deadshot said to the judge. "How about we get down to business? We don't have all day to chitchat with you, while that slithery son of a b**** go hide somewhere and grow up to become some ugly mofo and take over the world!"
"I would watch your language if I were you," Eiki gave him a glare that made chills run down his spine. Deadshot wasn't exactly someone to be daunted so easily, having lived a life full of sin and seen several things and all, yet a simple glare from the green-haired woman somehow made him tremble in fright. It was as if she was someone you truly did not want to mess with you, likely even more so than Waller...
"I apologize for my teammate's language," Rick said to Eiki, "but he does have a point. Did the warden tell you everything I said?"
"Yes, the warden told me everything," Eiki told him. "I understand the gravity of your situation, so I do not plan to take up too much of your time. This Evil Dragon you are seeking is indeed a native of our world. He is an evil being sealed away centuries ago in this place and buried underground in a vessel. However, several months ago, invaders from your world came here and caused massive destruction. It was during that time that the vessel became unearthed unintentionally. When several of our inhabitants were forcefully pulled into your world after the invasion was over, the Evil Dragon's vessel was one of the things pulled in."
"How come you people didn't notice this beforehand?" asked Bronze Tiger.
"The Evil Dragon's existence is largely forgotten by the people of this land," replied Eiki. "In fact, he was sealed away before the land of Gensokyo was created. Chances are likely that you will no longer find anyone here who is aware of his existence, thus it is easy for one to overlook something like this going missing."
"What can you tell us about the Evil Dragon?" Rick asked her.
"The Evil Dragon you see now is not his true form," Eiki told him. "True to his name, the Evil Dragon resembles the typical portrayal of a dragon, but after falling to the hands of his captors, he had most of his powers drained away and ended up taking the form of a snake. Even so, the Evil Dragon shouldn't be underestimated. Now that he is freed from his prison, it is only a matter of time before he regains his full power and return to his original form."
"How powerful are we talking here?" asked Captain Boomerang.
"Regarding that, you do not have to worry too much, actually," Eiki told him. "The Evil Dragon, even at his strongest, does not pose enough threat to an entire country. At most, he is only a threat to a settlement. However, since you say that he obtained a book of dark arts, it is possible that he will use it to enhance his power even more and therefore become a bigger threat."
"All the more reason we should be going after it," said Deadshot. "If only we know where it is..."
"Who knows? It may be in another universe again," said Killer Frost.
"No, he is still in this world," Eiki told her. "I can still sense his presence here. As much as I do not wish to see the Evil Dragon rise to power again, I am afraid that I cannot help you in this matter. This is something you have to settle yourself. After all, it is a mission given to you by your superior."
"Well, you are right... We are given this mission, so we should be the ones to handle this," said Rick, "but why did you say you can't help us anyway?"
"Because judges of afterlife are not allowed to interfere with the lives of mortals unless it truly is necessary," replied Eiki. "At most, we can only offer guidance and convince mortals to take the right path, but we cannot force them to do things."
"Tsk! Why is it always the powerful ones who sit back and do nothing but bark out orders?" grumbled Captain Boomerang.
"Now that you know everything, I will see to it that you are led to Gensokyo," Eiki said to them. "I believe this is a matter that the Hakurei shrine maiden should know. First, you should go to the Human Village, and there, you will have to seek out its guardian, Keine Kamishirasawa. From there, she will guide you to the Hakurei shrine maiden. Tell her your story, and I am sure that she will be of aid to you in this matter."
"We appreciate the help!" Rick said to her.
Marisa could not believe it. She had been through several things in her life and was expecting to run into a lot more things in the future, but walking down the prison lane of the Human Village's local police station was the last thing in her mind.
How did things end up this way?
If you pissed off Patchouli enough with your constant "borrowing books for a lifetime," so much that she set up a fail-proof trap and then decided that you should learn your lesson the hard way, this was what would happen.
After falling for Patchouli's latest exploding book trap that would wrap you up in sheets of paper afterwards, Marisa found herself handed over to the law enforcers under the charge of theft, invasion of personal property, and vandalism. No matter how hard she tried to defend herself, Patchouli was going to have none of this and insisted to the law enforcers that she be locked up for her own good, and also for the good of her library. Her master Remilia gave approval to this too.
"Don't worry; it's not like you will be executed or anything," the policeman leading her down the prison lane told her. "You'll just be locked up for a few days, unless someone decides to bail you out early."
"I can't believe Patchouli would go all the way to do this..." grumbled Marisa. "I can't believe I called her my friend..."
"She doesn't seem to see you as a friend, though," said the policeman. "If you truly consider her your friend, then you would've respected her properties more."
"I did promise her that I will return her books when I die!" said Marisa.
"Sure..." said the policeman. "All right; here's your cell. Hope you have a fun time with your roommate. Don't worry; she's a nice person actually." He opened the jail door and let the witch in before locking it and then leaving.
Marisa grumbled as she went over to a bench to sit down and sulk. In all her life, she never felt so down. Wanting to cheer up somehow, she turned to look at her cellmate and saw that it was none other than the living drum herself. "Oh hey, Raiko! Surprised to see you here!" Marisa said to her with a smiling face. And to think she was sad just now... "What are you in for?"
"Instigating a rebellion..." grumbled the red-haired woman.
"Seriously? I thought you were over that!" said Marisa in surprise.
"I didn't actually incite one," claimed Raiko. "All I did was tell a bunch of newly born tsukumogami about my past and the superiority objects have over humans. Somehow, this inspired them to start a rebellion against humans, and they actually went and cause trouble at a pawn shop. Since they weren't strong, they were easily dealt with, and when questioned by law enforcers, they pointed to me as being the mastermind, so I ended up being their scapegoat..."
"Ouch... Pretty unfair if you ask me..." said Marisa.
"It was your shrine maiden friend who suggested that I be locked here..." grumbled Raiko.
"Reimu sent you here? Wow... Didn't think she was the kind of person to do this... I did realize that she's rather grumpy nowadays, though..." said the witch.
"Yeah... She's a real pain at times..." complained Raiko.
"Probably has to do with no donations, which isn't anything new," said the witch. "So how long have you been here?"
"Since yesterday..." replied Raiko. "Since no harm was caused, it's considered a small crime. They say they'll let me out in a couple of days... By the way, what are you in for?"
After the interrogation was over, Eiki decided to personally lead the squad to Gensokyo. She also told them that she wasn't in charge of Infernal Prison. She simply came to check up on the place to see how the conditions were, something she would do every few months.
Leaving the prison building, the judge led the team through a massive gate guarded by two large and intimidating oni. Despite their fierce appearances, Harley was undaunted and even cheerfully greeted them. Surprisingly, the oni smiled and greeted back.
They then walked across a strip of land that went across a pool of magma that served as the prison building's moat. After that, they entered a cave with a passage made of blue energy that, according to Captain Boomerang, looked trippy.
"Ya smoked weed before?" Deadshot asked the Australian, referring to his "trippy" comment.
"Nah, there are some things us Rogues don't do, such as taking drugs," replied Captain Boomerang. "Never had the interest in them either."
After leaving the passage, they stepped into a spacious cave and saw a red and white yin-yang orb floating in the air above the exit they came out from. It spoke in an echoing voice that sounded male and female at the same time, asking Eiki who they were.
Eiki made her response simple, saying that they were outsiders who ended up at the prison by mistake and were being led out to Gensokyo. She then told the squad that the orb was Shingyoku, the gatekeeper of Infernal Prison and the Demon World.
They continued into another passage, a normal-looking one this time, and finally emerged outside, where they found themselves standing on the cliff of a mountain overlooking a forest. "Nice view!" commented Harley. "Could use a little more color other than green, though. Like perhaps, red!"
"You mean blood, don't you?" Killer Croc asked her.
"Awww! You know me too well, Crocky old boy!" Harley said to him.
Pointing to the distance, Eiki said to them, See those buildings over there? That is the Human Village. It should be straightforward from here. I have business to attend to, so I have no time to lead you there. I hope it isn't too hard for you to get there yourselves."
"Don't worry, ma'am; getting to destinations is also a soldier's job," Rick told her.
"Be warned on the possible appearance of man-eating demons," added Eiki. "It is forbidden for demons to eat humans in the village, so they hide out in the forest often to attack unsuspecting people. They may look human and innocent, but do not fall for them. Make sure you pay attention to their behaviors."
"Nothing we can't handle," said Deadshot with confidence.
"Remember what you have to do. May good fortune be with you and avoid causing trouble. You do not want to get on the bad side of the protectors of this place," Eiki said to them before jumping off the cliff, much to the surprise of the squad. They ran up to it and looked down to see what happened to her, and to their surprise, she floated back up and took off into the distance, going higher as she did so.
"If this isn't the result of smoking weed, then I wonder how it's like if I did so..." commented Captain Boomerang in disbelief.
TO BE CONTINUED
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please look forward to more crossover interactions in the next chapter! Hope you will consider reviewing!
I gave Captain Boomerang lots of speaking roles not because I like him, but because I think it fits his personality to be talkative and comment on several things. He's also one of the most important members of the Suicide Squad, so it makes sense that he has lots of screen time. Don't worry; everyone in the squad will eventually have a decent amount of spotlight.
