Hello, everyone! This is SuperHeroTimeFan, back with another new chapter of my newest story, Advent Justice. Just as I always do, I would like to start out with questions. Nero Angelo Sparda, Kit and Artemis start out as friends during the early part of the story, but later, they begin to get close to each other. Weretiger, I answered all of your questions via Private Message, so there should be nothing to worry about. I would like to thank all of you for reviewing and favoriting my story! It means so much! Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for, here's Chapter 3 of my story! Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Reunion
Mount Justice 1042 hours
The eight Kamen Riders and the eight members of the Team gazed at the sight of these powerful-looking new heroes. Batman glared at them carefully, inspecting every one of them. "If there is a situation involving Earth's fate, then I have a right to call in the rest of the Justice League." The Dark Knight told Eubulon. The Advent Master nodded in agreement. "That would be the best decision to make. I will summon the rest of the thirteen Kamen Riders for this meeting too." He told Batman.
Kit and Len looked to each other and nodded. Kit cleared his throat as the Team, as well as the Kamen Riders, looked to him. "Master Eubulon, I have something to ask of you." Kit Taylor told the Advent Master. Master Eubulon nodded. "Please tell me now, then." He asked the young Earth Rider. Kit rubbed the back of his neck and sighed. "Before Kase, you or any of the other Kamen Riders arrived, there was a friend of ours who was always faithful to our cause to fight for Ventara and Earth." Dragon Knight explained. Master Eubulon awed in understanding. "Chris Ramirez, the Earth Kamen Rider Sting." Eubulon guessed. Len stepped up and nodded. "We are aware that you brought him back from the Advent Void and erased his memory of being a Kamen Rider, but our cause was stronger with him around." Len said.
Master Eubulon smiled. "I can ask Quinn to hand me the Sting Deck, restore Chris' memory of being a Kamen Rider, and give a new Advent Deck to Quinn." The Advent Master stated. Kit smiled to Len, but Len kept his usual concerned look on his face. "How will Quinn continue to fight as a Kamen Rider?" he asked. Kamen Rider Kaiser stepped up. "As the Rider Master, I can create new Advent Decks at will. Quinn will become Kamen Rider Slither." The Rider Master explained to the large group. Kaiser presented a light-blue Advent Deck in his hands and showed it to Master Eubulon. "Quinn shall receive this Advent Deck and Chris Ramirez shall become once again Kamen Rider Sting." He announced to Kit and Len.
Batman sent his usual BatGlare at the Advent Master and his Kamen Riders. "I will be back with the rest of the Justice League. This is an important matter we need to discuss." Batman told everyone. Kamen Rider Brigade, who had been silent the whole time, cocked his gun at Batman. "Watch your tone in the presence of the Kamen Riders, especially Master Eubulon and Master Kaiser." He scolded the Dark Knight. The Team gasped at the fact that someone was actually scolding the Batman! Batman tensed up and walked away without a word into the Zeta Tube. Recognized Batman 0-2 said the female computer voice as he left.
As soon as the Dark Knight left the Cave, Eubulon departed through the same Zeta Tube, only he went through the reflective surface wall of the tube. Kaiser and Brigade walked with him to the No-Men base, as the eight Kamen Riders were left with the Team. Artemis walked up to Kit. "How'd you become a Rider?" she asked curiously. Kit chuckled as he redirected Artemis with him to walk through the Cave. "Well, I'll tell you this: it was never that easy!" he exclaimed. Artemis chuckled as the rest of the Team started to chat with the Ventaran Kamen Riders.
Hunt had been silent the whole time, so he decided to talk to Connor. As he walked up to him, Hunt cleared his throat, which caught Connor's attention. "So, I may be from a different world and all, but what is the Justice League like, because I hear a lot of good things about them?" he asked the Kryptonian. Connor shrugged. "They're pretty good, I guess." He admitted before jumping onto a question himself. "Why is your name Hunt? Are you some kind of poacher or hunter or something?" he asked. Hunt sighed. "My name is just natural. What about yours?" he asked back.
As the two were having their conversation, Pryce looked to Aqualad. "Are you a human or fish?" he asked. Aqualad gritted his teeth and looked to Strike sternly. "I am from Atlantis, making me an Atlantean." He explained. Pryce held up his hands in surrender. "Whoa, I didn't mean it like that, my gilled friend." He apologized. Kaldur sighed and nodded. "Forgive me for sounding too rash." He apologized as well. Pryce held his hand in front of him. "Hey, it's no problem." He reasoned. Aqualad smiled and shook the hand.
Wally walked up to Chance and looked him in the eye. "So tell me, are your powers magical or scientific, because I'm all about science and I get ticked to hear stuff about magic?" the speedster asked. Chance sighed. "The powers of the Kamen Riders are a combination of magic and science, so don't hit me or anything." He explained quite rashly. Wally pondered for a while before turning back to the Ventaran. "How can one become a Rider?" he asked. Chance patted his arm on Kid Flash's shoulder and chuckled. "There's a lot you need to learn about Ventara and Kamen Riders." He explained.

The seven members of the Light: Vandal Savage, Ra's al Ghul, Klarion, Lex Luthor, Queen Bee, the Brain, and Ocean Master, all met in their secret headquarters. Vandal Savage cleared his throat before he started talking. "So far in our plan, the Justice League has been sent to the planet, Rimbor, to wreak havoc and we are currently in possession of Project Match, as well as Roy Harper, and we are still yet to hear from our partner." The eternal man brought up. Lex Luthor nodded. "Agreed, but we are still in the midst of the loss of Hugo Strange, the Riddler and as of now, Mister Freeze and Cheshire, alias Jade Nguyen Crock." The billionaire spoke up. In front of the screens of the Light were two of the Light's top assassins: Sportsmaster and Deathstroke. "Please forgive me for my daughter's resign, but she was just too stubborn." Crusher spoke with an aggressive temper. Deathstroke scoffed. "Rose would last longer." He stated. Queen Bee interrupted the two assassins before an argument could emerge. "We still need to keep our plans in motion, and with a lack of supporters for the Light, we have a problem." She reminded the organization.
Just then, a voice came out of nowhere. "There's a certain problem you have that I can handle." Everyone looked around, but no one was there. Just then, Klarion's screen started to manifest in the shape of an orb and a man in blue armor stepped out. He had a helmet with no visible pupils and his belt buckle had the symbol of a shark. His left hand was a black shark, and he looked like he had been in years of battle. "The little… Light of crime, I'm about to make you shine." He quipped in a deep voice. Lex Luthor looked to Deathstroke and Sportsmaster, who nodded. Slade unsheathed a sword while Crusher had his ball and chain in hand. "That won't be necessary. Warhead, Hydra!" he called out. Before the assassins could strike, a man in purple armor slashed down at Deathstroke with a double-bladed, claw-like gauntlet and a man in silver armor shot at Sportsmaster with a gun. The Light gaped at the two bodyguards as they walked up behind the man in blue.
"Forgive me for entering without a proper introduction; I am Xemnas, also known as Kamen Rider Depth Charge. These two here are JTC, James Trademore, known as Kamen Rider Hydra, and Drew Lansing, also known as Kamen Rider Warhead." He introduced to the Light. Klarion gazed at them before furrowing his brow in confusion. "What are you?" he asked in his usual brattish voice. Xemnas chuckled and stepped up. "We are Kamen Riders, your new allies." He replied. Hydra stepped up. "Lieutenant, permission to speak?" he asked. Ra's al Ghul widened his eyes when he heard the word 'lieutenant'.
"Permission granted." Depth Charge acknowledged. Hydra chuckled and cracked his neck. "Are you aware of the world known as Ventara?" he asked. Ocean Master gasped. "Ventara is a myth! How could it exist?" he asked dumbfounded. Depth Charge laughed. "Two years ago, while the Light was still active, my master attempted to transport all of Earth to be enslaved, but thirteen other Kamen Riders got in the way." He explained. Vandal narrowed his eyes at Xemnas. "Go on." He urged the man in the shark suit. Xemnas sighed. "I'm ashamed that you have forgotten a former member of the Light. You and I, as well as my two faithful Riders here, all know him as General Xaviax of the planet Karsh." The Brain started to stutter. "Pardon, Mon ami, we had no idea that the great Général Xaviax had been taken down. You have our deepest apologies, Maréchal de camp." The Brain apologized in his French tone. Queen Bee's eyes widened. "Xaviax reported that he had Trademore, Lansing, and many other men on his side to help him conquer Earth. He also mentioned that he eliminated all the Kamen Riders with the help of a Ventaran named Adam." Xemnas sighed and shook his head. "Adam betrayed Xaviax and joined the thirteen Kamen Riders to help take him down." He explained.
Vandal Savage looked to the other members of the Light and they all nodded. "Considering the fact that you were the lieutenant to Xaviax, you will have a place with us on the Light." He granted Depth Charge. Kamen Rider Depth Charge chuckled. "I'm so glad you approve." He stated. He then cleared his throat. "My assassin will help to take care of the sidekicks causing you trouble." He announced. Just then, another man entered from a screen and stood by Xemnas. His armor was blood red, and he had a razor-like shield with a rapier in his hand. He had black eyes on his visor and his helmet was shaped like a Roman soldier's. Splitting down the middle of the helm was a silver jagged line. "This is Apollo, my top assassin from Karsh." Xemnas introduced to the Light. "I will make short work of the Team, trust me." Apollo promised the Light. Vandal Savage started to chuckle with delight.

The Riders' conversations with the Team were quite brief. Connor found a common ground with Hunt for brute strength, Kit and Artemis started to bond more, but Wally didn't mind as he had learned a lot from Chance about the Kamen Riders and Ventara. Robin started to hold a grudge against Len for impersonating his mentor, in which the Ventaran returned the favor. Zatanna was able to learn a lot more about how to use her powers from Nolan; M'gann was beginning to like Kase as the sole female of the original thirteen Kamen Riders. Rocket seemed to like the way Adam had lived his life his entire time, even though it was all an illusion and Aqualad started to learn a lot more combat skills from Pryce.
As the Team continued to talk, Masters Eubulon and Kaiser entered through the same reflections they left through, with Brigade following them in tow. Kit and Len smiled at this, and their smiled increased when they saw an eighteen-year-old with a grey sweater and denim jeans enter through. This was Chris Ramirez, the Earth Kamen Rider Sting. Chris looked around at the place and looked to Kit and Len. "Semper Fi, guys, I'm back." He announced. Kit chuckled and walked up to him. They both gripped each other's hands tight and smiled at each other. Pryce and Hunt walked over to the two as Chris started to back away. "What are they doing here?" he demanded to know as he pointed to the Ventaran with the Strike Deck. "That guy vented me!" he stated. Artemis looked to Kit and raised an eyebrow. "What does 'vented' mean?" she whispered. Kit sighed and silently motioned a cutthroat death hand signal, making Artemis shiver. Len walked up to the Marine and patted him on the shoulder. "Chris, it's all right. These are the original Ventaran Kamen Riders, just like me." He explained. Pryce walked up to him. "Kit, Trent and Maya had the same reactions when they first saw us too." Pryce explained. Chris shrugged. "Sorry, it was just a bad experience having to deal with the other Kamen Rider Strike." He apologized. Pryce shook his hand. "It's all right." The Ventaran said.
Aqualad looked to Master Eubulon. "Master Eubulon, where are the rest of your Kamen Riders?" he asked. Eubulon smiled. "They're just about to arrive." He explained. Master Eubulon was right. Out of many of the reflected surfaces came the rest of the original thirteen Kamen Riders. All five other Kamen Riders were in armor, looking around at the place. The Team gaped and their jaws dropped when they saw all of these warriors. Immediately, every Kamen Rider spread out their arms and orbs started to split apart from them. The Kamen Riders were perfectly human! Kaiser looked to Brigade, who nodded as well. They both spread out their arms and orbs started to split apart, canceling their transformations. Kit and the Team gaped to see that Kaiser, the Rider Master, was also a human. He was pale-skinned with brown, smooth hair and had crimson eyes. He wore a suit similar to Eubulon's, except it had violet highlights. Brigade was another pale-skinned human with blue eyes and black hair. He had a golden leather jacket with a brown shirt underneath, and he wore black jeans. Kaiser smiled to the large group and chuckled. "My Rider name is Kaiser, but my real name is Nicholas." He formerly introduced himself. The lieutenant of Kaiser stepped up. "'Sup? Call me Scipio." He told the Riders and Team. They all nodded in unison and looked back to the Zeta Tube.
Recognized Batman 0-2 called the female computer voice as Batman entered the Cave. Out of many of the tunnels and other Zeta Tubes came the rest of the Justice League. From Superman to Icon, the members of the Justice League filled up the entire Mission Room. Martian Manhunter looked to Master Eubulon and widened his eyes in surprise. "I was sure that all beings of Karsh had been wiped out during the Civil War of that planet." He exclaimed. Master Eubulon chuckled. "All the people of Karsh are all right. The war's over." He told the Martian. J'onn still stood fazed. "But what happened to Xaviax?" he asked. The Team looked to the Advent Master confusingly. "Who's Xaviax?" Zatanna asked. M'gann stepped up and cleared her throat. "Xaviax was the leader of the North Side of the planet Karsh, and he became a dictator for power." She explained. Kit took the stage and spoke, "But Xaviax was defeated when all thirteen Kamen Riders eliminated him." Master Eubulon nodded at this. "Correct, but I fear that he may return." He stated. Superman stepped up. "Is Xaviax the reason why Earth is in danger?" he asked. Master Eubulon nodded once again. "I have had a vision where Xaviax returned with more evil Kamen Riders at his side." He explained. "Artemis has already found her Advent Deck, and two lay in the hands of Xemnas, Kamen Rider Depth Charge." Master Eubulon went on. Len nodded. "This is why we need to form this alliance, so we can take him down." He added on.
Batman looked to the core members of the League and nodded. "We will need to talk about this with you, Master Eubulon and Master Kaiser. For now, we have an alliance." He stated. The Team and Riders smiled. "Our top priority as of now is to find these Advent Decks and Kamen Riders." He added on. Master Eubulon nodded at Batman's antics. "Very well, if you would like to discuss about our alliance, then please, by all means." The Advent Master said. Nick also stepped up. "I am ready to talk about whatever plans or concerns you have, Dark Knight." The Rider Master stated. Black Canary nodded. "Alright, while you are all talking, I would like to give the Kamen Riders some training lessons." Dinah Lance said. Len put his hand up and nodded his head in disagreement. "That won't be necessary, Black Canary." He told the training instructor. Black Canary raised an eyebrow at Len. "Why is that?" she asked. Len chuckled. "All Ventarans have been trained to fight in all kinds of combat, even the ones never thought possible." He explained. Black Canary chortled. "We'll see about that." She quipped. With that, she attempted a low knee kick at Len, who blocked it with his bare hand. As Black Canary tried a left hook at Len, he lifted her foot and grabbed her arm, both left arm and foot in hand. Dinah attempted to a straight jab at Len with her right hand, but the Ventaran used her own leg and arm to block it. He twirled and released the three limbs as both kicked each other. Their legs crossed in the air as Dinah attempted a high kick swing. Len dodged it and they both moved in tandem, twirling into the air to attack each other. As they stopped twirling, Black Canary swept underneath Len and attempted to step on him, but Len blocked her foot with his bare hands once again and used his leg to sweep her to the ground. The Team gasped at how experienced Len was. "Do you see now?" he asked nonchalantly. Dinah chuckled. "You may have to teach me those moves." She exclaimed. Len smiled as he looked over to the other Riders.
As soon as Batman and the founding League members left to the Watchtower, the Team and the Riders made their way to the Training Room. On their way, Kit stopped Artemis. Artemis looked to Kit Taylor confusingly. "What's wrong, Kit?" she asked. Kit chuckled. "You may now wear the armor, but I'll be the one to teach you how to fight." He stated. Artemis chuckled. "We'll see." She snippily said. Both chuckled as they entered the training room. An alliance was now made to stop Xaviax's forces.
