YES! My apologizes. Wally does not like me writing him and I got a full chapter out!

Now I must warn you there is most likely going to be out of characterness. I tried however. This is an AU and I am taking some references for some characters from the comics. (Mainly Klarion and Teekl, but that is more prominent later on.)

There is a small crossover in this chapter! Can you figure out where The Essence of Chaos and The Essence of Order are from?

I hope you enjoy!


(Chapter 3)

Hello Wally

When Wally fell asleep, in his own bed at that, he was expecting to sleep the night away hopefully have some dreams with some good looking chicks and be awakened by his alarm in the morning. What he was not expecting was to wake up suddenly in a location he did not know.

Instantly his senses were on high alert. He was sitting in a black chair which was not the comfiest thing to be in. The room was large and no doubt would echo if he said a single word. The floor was a deep gray while the pillars were a off white. Before him was a series of chairs arranged in a semicircle facing him with a semicircle table in-front of them.

And in those chairs were people hidden in shadow.

Tensing his muscles Wally got himself mentally prepared for a fight. While part of his brain tried to figure out if he was dreaming. Though everything around him screamed, meteorically, that this was no dream.

Looking at the people in shadow he tried to see who was before him. The last chair on the left caught his attention. The person in it was curled around something which they were petting. Squinting he could catch a glimpse of pale skin and long black nails.

His eyes widened. Wasn't it only a few days ago he fought against someone with those hands?

Looking around he hoped there was a so called Lord of Order to stop the Witch-boy from getting all sorts of revenge on him for stopping the kid from getting the Helmet of Fate.

That was when his eyes landed on the white haired man dressed like a Egyptian straight out of a Hollywood movie. The man was facing the chairs and seemed clam about everything around him.

Light flashed and the two chairs in the center of the semicircle reviled their occupants. In the left chair was a man with light blue hair, pale skin, and yellow eyes of which were glaring down at the Egyptian guy. The blue haired man was dressed in a skintight suit which was the same shade of blue as his hair with light green gemstones and lines making patterns on it. In the right chair was a teen with black hair and red bangs. Their eyes were a deep pink and there was smile on the person's face that made Wally think of Loki from Norse myth. The person was very effeminate or just was just keen on making people guess their gender. The black armor with red gemstones and lines was not helping for one moment the chest looked like it could be female then it could be male. Wally just brushed it aside. He could ponder about the one on the right later. There was more pressing matters at hand.

"Nabu."

The room did not echo as much as it vibrated as the blue haired man spoke. The white haired man looked up.

"As an acting Lord of Order you know that Chaos must be played with so balance shall be maintained."

The one on the right leaned forward as the man stopped speaking.

"Tell me, Little Lord. Why did you try to kill my Small One?"

Wally could not hold back a shiver at the teen's voice as it filled the room. While the man made everything vibrate, the teen's made everything stand at attention. It gave off such a feel of power that you could not help but look at the one speaking.

The white haired man, who was apparently the Helmet's resident, stared at the teen before answering.

"Chaos needs to be contained. The brat needs to see that messing with another Lord's artifact disturbs the balance. I merely done what needs to be done."

The room filled with a tense energy after Nabu's words. Wally could only stare as the face of the teen darkened and they sat in their chair.

The man in the left chair turned his head and looked at the last chair on his side. Wally followed his gaze. Klarion was shaking and looked like he was trying to make himself as small as possible.

Even though the logical side of him was saying otherwise, the speedster could not help but feel sorry for the guy. Apparently Nabu nearly killed him and the guy was just brushing it off.

Gulping down his guilt Wally tore his eyes away. He was the host for Dr. Fate when he attacked Klarion. Even if he did not know that was what was going to happen, he was still part of the plot. Dread filled his stomach. Was that why he was here? To pay for nearly killing a kid? Sure he was a bad guy going after the Helmet and killing Nelson, but he did not need to be killed in return. That is not what good guys do after all.

Whatever was being said afterward went right over his head. There was numerous voices speaking at once most of them in languages he did not know.

Suddenly everything went quiet as a soft sound echoed through the room. It was very quiet and Wally was surprised he even heard it.

It was a mere whisper. Just one word spoke with such heartache it made the speedster's chest clench in sympathy.

"Why?"

Nabu looked over to Klarion's chair. Wally's fists clenched in anger at the look on the man's face. There was no remorse nor sympathy. Green eyes looked over at the kid only to blink as he realized the boy was leaning forward into the light giving everyone a good look at the tears which fell from black eyes.

"Why Nabu? It was just a game. One Kent and I was playing before you got involved. He was nearing the last of his days." Black eyes closed for a moment and the Witch-boy toke a breath before continuing. "I wanted to play one last game before he past on. He wanted an interesting way to pass on. So why Nabu? Why did you attack Teekl?"

The man's blue gaze did not change, and Wally could punch the guy. At least show some sort of emotion which was not pure contentment.

"You need to learn better."

The words echoed not only in the room but in Wally's head. Though the words themselves could be taken as someone speaking a hard truth to another. The tone and feeling behind them told a different story. Just what was the story Wally could not tell, but by the betrayed look on Klarion's face it seems he did.

The black haired lord returned to the shadows and the room could have heard a pen drop, it was so quiet.

The teen with red and black hair broke the silence with a deep growl.

"You dare break your Oath?!"

The pale man placed a hand on the teen's arm.

"Essence of Chaos is correct in asking this. Nabu do you dare break Oath?" Yellow eyes looked down at the man.

Nabu met the yellow gaze and said nothing.

Wally swallowed. The atmosphere was so thick you could trip on it.

Essence of Chaos stood from their chair and glared down at Nabu.

"So be it. As one of the Original Chaos Lords your life falls under my rule. I hope you enjoy my domain Nabu of Cilea. You are striped of rank and power until the day comes until you are fit to gain them once more."

With that the teen and Nabu vanished in a spiral of colors, causing Wally to blink.

The light blue haired man stood from his chair. His gaze met Wally's.

"I, the Essence of Order, declare Wallace West of Central City, Earth 16:12 the holder of the Powers of Order of the Fallen."

Wally's mouth fell open. This guy did not say what he thought he said right?!

"As a Holder of Order, you shall have a Holder of Chaos to be bounded with. I do hope that you shall be a better choice than the Fallen young Wallace." With that the Essence of Order left in a spiral of colors like the Essence of Chaos and Nabu did before.

The people in the chairs started to get up and leave the room. Wally did not really notice who was leaving or what they look like as he stared in shock at the chair the Essence of Order was before.

A dark giggle caused him to close his mouth and look over to his left. It was saying something about his day that he did not jump nor run ten thousand steps back when Klarion entered his view.

The black eyed lord smiled.

"Hello Wally."


Little Man I toke your idea. But the rest of it came falling out when I was merely was going to describe the room. I am not complaining, and I hope you aren't as well.

The people who can figure out who are the Essences get a mention in the next chapter's Author note! Here is my hint: they are from Anime.

See you soon!
