Thanks for the reviews of the previous chapters by the way. YOSH! Let us begin

~Story Start~

Venice Beach, CA 12:01 AM, It was a quiet day at the beach, kids were playing with beach ball, burying each other in the sand, the ladies were in bikinis and they did what they do best, walking around and getting tanned in the sun one girl in particular (AN: definitely a victoria secret model) sat on a chair with the beach umbrella shielding her from the all scorching rays of the sun. She was busy drinking a mimosa in a glass cup when she was engulfed in a shadow more than her umbrella shed, she left the chair to investigate and saw it was a rock, on a human body, was it a human body? It was a body nonetheless fact is it was harling towards her, she screamed and run to the left and the body crushed into her umbrella and chairs sending sand shrapnel everywhere she shielded herself by laying on the ground and after all shrapnel had passed her she stood up

"My umbrella" she whined

"That's what you get for staying close to my crush zone" groaned Nightghost (AN: His suit is now the one on the cover page, you haven't seen the cover page?! What are still reading this for CHECK—THE—COVER—PAGE) as he got up

"You owe me an umbrella" she said

Nightghost got closer and tapped her on the head

"Leave now, this beach is about to get ugly" he suggested

And for a second the girl froze and left packing up her things which weren't broken, as soon as she went for the exit, a group of cowering citizens followed some grabbing their kids, some pulling their kids like rag dolls

"Oh this will get worse before it gets better" said Nightghost in a British accent

"Tempest how are we holding up?" he asked telepathically

The scene changed up in the sky some meters away from the beach Kaldur, a girl that was dressed like Hawkwoman, and Shazam where battling Black Adam and Metallo (AN: the Metallo version that looks like iron man only black suit with a green core) well, Kaldur and Shazam were battling Metallo and Black Adam respectively, the girl had a device in a container carried behind her back and was trying to get away but lightening circled around them and created a shape like an arena and para demons kept attacking so she was busy unleashing the carnage

"No good…Shazam and I are holding them off while Hawk girl takes the device, but with their enhancements…"

"Yeah, yeah it's a problem" he finished.

Back at the beach, Nightghost launched himself into the air looked towards the pier and the rest of the team were busy fighting para demons and a girl with silver—or was it white—lets just say she had hair like the ice queen, but her suit seemed to go with the hair made her kind of cute snap out of it he thought and flew towards the dark clouds circling the combatants he stopped and looked behind and explosions rocked the pier para demons were everywhere but there numbers were decreasing because—the team— he narrowed his eyes and saw Wondergirl taking on the hot white haired chick (AN: and was that a supermodel running away from the carnage and explosions?... in slow mo?) he continued his journey towards the arena of clouds when he arrived the swirling vortex of lightening, Tempest was covered in his own swirling vortex of water from the waist down fighting Metallo as Shazam took on Black Adam and Hawk girl had the toughest of all the jobs, she had to fend off the para demons 38 in total

"Can't go head on, last time I tried landed on the beach, cant phase through magical clouds and lightening" he said to himself "and how did it go south that fast?"

7Hours earlier, Floating Justice; Nightghost and Artemis were training, well Artemis was firing a torrent of trick arrows and Nightghost was supposed to get to her while Red Robin, Beastboy, Batgirl and Tuppence (AN: Terror girl. Why? Don't question Beastboy) were acting as her defense

"This is so unfair" said Nightghost

"Oh puhlease, with your powers, I don't think so" said Artemis and shot an arrow

Nightghost tried to phase through but the arrow mirrored him and blew up sending him flying and crushing to the wall

"Different approach" he groaned scratching his head and phased to the ground he then appeared above Artemis but was soon kicked by Red Robin and Terror girl pulled him and gave him a suplex

"Ow" he groaned

"New approach" he said and grabbed Terror girl's hand punched her multiple times on each shoulder while intercepting her punches, he then turned around and delivered a back fist screaming like Bruce Lee sending her to the left wall of the training hall

Beastboy then transformed into a Bengal tiger and lounged at him, he dropped back first, grabbing Beastboy as he landed on him and threw him back with his legs he then teleported no top of Beastboy, while Beastboy was still in the air transformed into a gorilla and smashed him to the ground he then knelt on Beastboy when he was back to normal

"Don't mind if I borrow your powers" he smiled still in gorilla form and Beastboy just groaned

Red Robin and Batgirl attacked at the same time and Nightghost turned back to normal he intercepted all their punches and kicks and delivered a an open palm fist to Batgirl sending her sliding to the ground then tried a sweep kick to Red Robin who jumped and tried to deliver a roundhouse but Nightghost dodged and flipped with and axe kick but Tim grabbed the leg and flipped to a distance to which Nightghost lay on the ground, leaning on his left hand smiling

"What's so funny, oh schist" said Tim as a pellet blew underneath his feet covering him in foam

"Which just lives…the queen" he said looking at Artemis who narrowed her eyes

He run towards her and she begun releasing a torrent of arrows, he knelt to the ground and slid on his knees dodging the arrows whilst screaming "Matrix!" and then bent towards the ground and used his hands to launch himself and fly towards her, she threw six arrows simultaneously and he spun to evade them, one arrow went to Terror girl and blew up sending her back to the wall she got out from, another covered Beastboy in foam and the other tied Batgirl up two where sent in the air and got stuck to the ceiling and Nightghost grabbed one then when he was near Artemis, he teleported because she swung her bow he appeared behind her saying "tag you are it" and lodged the arrow in her quiver

"You have got to be kidding me" she exclaimed and foam covered her up

"And your winner, Ren Fields" he shouted like an announcer

"Oh don't get ahead of yourself." chided Wondergirl

"I think I should, given the fact that you and Jaime failed the same task yesterday and the day before, respectively" he replied with a smug look

"yeah whatever" said Jaime who was in the audience stand together with Cassie.

The training hall was modeled like a miniature version of the roman coliseum Nightghost stood on the middle, his hands outstretched and he was making a sound imitating a roar of the crowd

"Okay, play time is over" said a voice as a woman entered the slider door

"Ah! Kuwaii Bakemono!" screamed Nightghost

"You need to stop watching anime, Beastboy make sure he does not watch anime" she said looking at Beastboy who was still covered in foam, only his head stuck out

"Roger that Black Canary" he replied

"Oh come on!" he whined

"Stop whining, you are a hero, heroes don't whine" chided Terror girl as she slapped him on the shoulder

"Sometimes" he pouted

Black Canary massaged her head

"Ugh this one is a case" she whispered "Anyway everyone is to report to the briefing room now" she ordered and everyone followed her

In the briefing room, Batman was talking to Superman and Superboy, Martian ManHunter had his arms closed next to him was Hawkman who had a girl on his side she was as old as Tim by the way she looked, she had brown eyes, and curly brown hair she was wearing green and black pants that had a knife hoisted on her left leg, she had an Nth metal belt and bracelets and a brown tank top Nightghost figured she was a new recruit probably related to Hawkman, he looked towards the computers and the new Robin was looking at the news together with Kaldur and the new guy what was his name again? Yeah Garth, the new Aqualad; Kaldur had taken the name Tempest, which in Nightghost's opinion suited him, ever since his last visit to Atlantis he gained respect of the guy, they way he took down the villain called Black Manta it was, what did Beastboy call it, like the Manta was fighting against a Tempest

"Robin" he said as he came close to the screen

"Ren" replied Damian his tone was so belittling

That is the reason I hate him that tone, he thought to himself

"So what's up?" he asked looking at Kaldur on the screen was a man, it looked like a man, dressed in black attire with a yellow bolt sign on his chest and a golden belt on his waist

"So who is this, Dark Shazam?" he asked

"No that is Black Adam, although Dark Shazam would suit him too" replied Beastboy

"Okay listen up" ordered Batman "Black Adam broke into Star Labs…"

"It's always Star Labs" whispered Beastboy and Batman narrowed his eyes Then he continued "and stole a Quantum Disruptor" (AN: I don't even know what that means, it just seems awesome)

"The thing that distorts time and space, Why does that lab always create doomsday devices?" asked Jaime

"Jaime Reyes, you of all people should know that even devices that can cause doom can be used for the good of man kind" said his suit

"What does…oh yeah I get it" he replied and everyone looked at him like he kills baby panda bears for a living

"Continue" he said embarrassed

"Anyway our other problem, Metallo broke out of Bereft…lets say he boomed out of Bereft prison" said Batman

"Where to?" asked Nightghost

"Thanagar" replied the girl

"Hawkman's planet not good" said Red Robin

"Yes he stole something at one the Thanagaran labs that if merged with that technology could create a space bridge that could transport an army from one end of the galaxy, to earth in no time" she concurred

"Yeah this has The Light and Apokolips written all over it" said Beastboy, Nightghost clenched his fists and his face showed he was holding back anger Wondergirl studied him for a while

"Yes the Metallo guy was accompanied by Para demons from Apokolips and said something about the light" said the girl

"Okay this is rude of me, but who is she" whispered Nightghost to Garth

"Her name is Khi'yera Hol, Hawkman's niece" he whispered back

"The satellites show that the two want to set the device somewhere in the Pacific near Venice Beach" said Superman

"But the Justice League is spread thin dealing with most members of the Light" said Batman

"Recognized Shazam" said the AI

"Okay so who is coming with me?" asked Shazam raising up his fist his enthusiasm was intoxicating for a grown up…scratch that his enthusiasm was the right amount for a fourteen year old

"Tempest you take Hawk girl, go with Shazam find the device before they switch it on disarm it if you can" said Batman and the other JL members left except for Shazam and Hawkman

"See you uncle Kator" said Hawk girl

"See you Khi'yera" said Hawkman and left

"Okay I guess the rest of us are back up, lets go to Cali" said Nightghost enthusiastically

Venice, Los Angeles; California, The back up team were all on stand by at Sunset Pier Nightghost was with Terror girl he was dressed in a red leather jacket, black shirt and black pants and black shoes with red print, Terror girl was dressed in a green frilled mini skirt that rode up at the back, inside, she was wearing black yoga pants (AN: oh the frustration on all the pervs, hahahahah don't worry not now…maybe later), she had a black tube top and a green jacket and she was wearing leather boots. Nightghost and her were standing on the line to ride the roller coaster, Robin was walking around looking for something to do he was in a gray hoodie and black pants, next to him, was Wondergirl she was in a pick blouse and blue jeans, Beastboy and Bluebeetle were at the arcade being Jaime and Garfield-y, Batgirl, Aqualad (Garth) and Red Robin standing at the edge of the pier scouting the place for any anomalies, Nightghost used his telepathy to create a mind link (AN: thanks to the training by Miss Martian) so that when things went down every one knew what to do.

"This is Tempest, Team Alpha has target on site" said Kaldur

"Team Beta on stand by" said Nightghost

"Team Delta same" said Gar as he mashed the buttons

"Same with team Epsilon" said Batgirl

"Team Sigma ready" said Robin

"Okay get ready guys" cautioned Shazam.

Tempest, Hawk girl and Shazam were now spotted by the two villains (AN: actually one villain and a very confused Anti-hero *Sakura Haruno voice* Nightghost-kun please, bring back Black Adam *Sasuke Voice* he is beyond saving kill him…that's it! No voice is allowed in this fic but mine own! And the characters of course if you don't belong in this fic, stay out)

"So the League has sent, you and their lap dogs" laughed Black Adam

"It is enough to deal with the likes of you" replied Tempest

"True, in another universe, but in this one…you will die" said Metallo as he pressed a button on his arm and two portals opened, Shazam quickly punched Black Adam away from the device and Tempest swept Metallo to the side and Hawk girl rushed to the device and grabbed it and put it in a container, Black Adam widened his eyes

"If you have the device, no one is living this area!" he shouted and dark clouds circled around them in a three mile radius, then lightening flared at the edges

"Only one way out of this, give us the device" he demanded

"Or die" said Metallo as he approached

"Hawk girl can you fight all these demons?" asked Kaldur

"You underestimate me" she smiled and attacked the para demons

"I'll fend them off and try to find a weak point, you deal with Black and Ugly" Tempest just gave her a grunt of respect "Be that as it may guys, we need help"

Back at the pier, "No can't do man busy here too, para demons have over run the pier together with our other old headache" said Red Robin

"Who?" asked Tempest as he intercepted a punch from Metallo and dodged the torrent of blasts

"Ravager" said Wondergirl who was fighting with the assassin

"I can help" said Nightghost

"We need you here…" argued Robin

"Go" said Terror girl interrupting Robin "We can handle it here, you are needed there"

She looked at him he nodded and flew towards the vortex. When he arrived he turned into his shadow form, Black Adam saw him and fired lightening at him it zapped him

"Ow…wait he zapped me, in this form?" wondered Nightghost then his eyes widened "powers of the wizard, magic"

Then he begun to circle the vortex, going counter clock wise from the vortex Black Adam grunted and released a burst of energy that converged near Nightghost and mirrored his flight path

"Oh schist" he said at the energy started to glow brighter and sparked, it then blew up sending him flying towards the beach

NOW…"Of course, Tempest" he said as he realized something, he looked at Kaldur who was busy with Metallo and all of a sudden he grew gills then he plummeted into the see, spun himself and he had successfully arrived at the center of the vortex and flew up as the gills disappeared, he came up with a rising dragon fist and smacked Black Adam square on the chin "success" he said to himself and flew higher than Black Adam because the fist sent him up, Nightghost then came down with an axe kick screaming "dynamic entry!" and landed it square on his mid riff sending him in for a drink the clouds dissipated and Hawk girl finally crushed the last of the para demons Metallo fought in reverse

"Oh look he is retreating" said Nightghost

"Its called fighting in reverse" laughed Shazam as he slapped Nightghost on the shoulder, they begun to fly back to the pier Impulse caught up with them running on water

"Dude where were you?" asked Nightghost

"Problems at Star labs, but all good now" he replied. They arrived at the pier and helped the rest with the remaining para demons, Ravager just vanished without a trace

"Got hand it to that girl, she knows how to make an exit" said Red Robin

"Wait was she fighting toe to toe with Wondergirl?" asked Impulse

"Yeah why do you ask?" replied Nightghost

"Just a wild guess" he said as Wondergirl was being helped up by Robin

"Is it true that she fought Superboy?" asked Nightghost

"Not just fought, KO-ed Superboy, but don't bring it up when he is around" said Beastboy

"Okay, good work team, now lets get going" ordered Tempest and they left for Floating Justice.

Sunset Pier 20:39 pm, the fire department had put out the fire that happened due to the para demon attack and the battle royal that followed, what was left was reconstructing it, on the lake shore Black Adam lay as the waves hit him he then punched the ground and did a one arm push up, his eyes glowing yellow and sparking electric bolts

"You have made an enemy of me boy, when I find you, you will pay dearly" he said to himself and launched into the night sky living a circular wave of sand and a mini crater

"It is time you know the fire of the yellow star" he said.

Los Angeles 22:24pm, Metallo landed on top of one of the skyscrapers and was met by Vandal Savage and Deathstroke who had the girl with white hair on his side

"Did they take the device?" asked Vandal Savage

"Yes just like you ordered, undamaged" replied Metallo

"Where is Black Adam?" asked Deathstroke

"Here" replied Black Adam as he descended from the sky, the full moon in the background

"So I went just as your plan Virman Vundabar" said Vandal Savage looking at the figure who was propped up on the wall he stepped in full light he was a dark skinned fellow with a monocle on his right eye, he hair was cut military style, and of course he was wearing Prussian officer attire

"Of course it did" he replied with a tone of pride that would have made the devil jealous

"Phase one of Thirteen, complete" smiled Vandal Savage and a boom tube opened and they all walked through it.

New York City, New York; 09:08 A.M, a girl was in a taxi that was on the middle of the worst traffic jam, she was Latina and by first glance you could tell, she couldn't be more than eighteen was wearing a black long sleeved blouse, a white mini skirt and knee high boots and a white scarf tied at the back and the taxi driver was busy honking the horn when the street was plunged into complete and utter chaos, the Outlaws were fighting Trident (AN: you remember that guys in the teen Titans comics who was working for H.I.V.E *rolls eyes* goddamn it I will reveal too much) cars started flying as Trident blasted and threw bombs at the Outlaws then the glass of the cab window where she was sitting broke, a hand reached in and grabbed her, she gave out a panicked scream as she was pulled and soon she was outside, a hostage of one of Trident

"No sudden moves or the girl gets it" he said Red X, Starfire and Match stopped in their tracks then Match smiled

"Imagine the serendipity" he said Red X looked at him with surprise

"Since when have you been able to say dictionary words? And full sentences?"

"That coming from a lab rat" he retorted "And genius and professional thief…by the way that argument is misplaced" Red X fired back with pride

"Guys could we be living the fighting, after the hostage is liberated" suggested Starfire

"Oh don't sweat it, she's got this…don't you Danielle"

The girl smiled

"So you finally broke free of there control" then her eyes glowed a dark shade of purple and release a burst of energy that sent Trident flying back and smashing into the jumbo-tron, he was enraged and came rushing towards Danielle but a dark portal opened out in front of him and swallowed him it then appeared to the left of Danielle and he grabbed him by the head and smashed him to the ground she then stretched her right arm and a dark purple sword materialized and she stabbed his spine "what the…" Red X was left speechless

"So this is the team you told me about…not what I expected" she observed

"But we get the job done" said Red Hood appearing from behind a taxi with the lifeless body of the other Trident

Donna descended from the sky with a grotesque Trident and threw him on top of the Trident Danielle had killed and Red Hood followed suit Arsenal then fired a flaming arrow from the top of one of the skyscrapers and Trident was set ablaze

"We are living" said Red Hood then he looked at Danielle

"Are you coming with?" and Match extended his hand at her, Danielle studied Red Hood as if trying to figure him out then she realized she could not she paused as if weighing her options

"Are we going to destroy The Light?" she asked

"No…we are going to erase it from the history books" replied Red Hood

"Am in" she said and took Match's hand and then Red X pressed his belt and they all disappeared including Arsenal living a surprised group of spectators

"Since when do heroes kill" said on cab driver and the gentleman next to him just raised his shoulders looking at the burning trident

"Well I say its about time" said one old man.

Floating Justice 12:34 PM, Nightghost was playing video games with Beastboy, Impulse, Aqualad, Robin and Bluebeetle, the girls—Wondergirl, Terror girl, Batgirl and Hawk girl—were busy watching something on the other TV, Red Robin was with Superboy, Cyborg and Tempest discussing about the device

"Batman suggested we keep it in the hall of justice" said Cyborg "says it was way too easy black Adam and Metallo's defeat"

"Its like they wanted us to get it…he is right his paranoia might be perfectly placed" agreed Superboy

"Guys enough of business, come over here and relax" screamed Beastboy and then the AI sounded

"Recognized Spectre, Black Canary, Batman" and the guys looked over to see and saw that their was another person with them, it was a girl, at one moment she was solid and then she was transparent

"I have to lay off the peanut butter is it me or is that girl transparent" said Nightghost

"This is your new teammate, Greta Heyes the Spectre's…colleague" Black Canary chose her words with care to avoid calling her a sidekick she did not want another riot on her hands

"Secret" said Greta

"I guess that is your codename…Secret" said Beastboy

"Welcome to the team" said Batgirl

"Another girl" said Wondergirl excitedly and all the girls shrieked

"As if the shrieks weren't enough" said Beastboy and the guys went back to there game as the Leaguers left.
