Crisis of Infinite Visions: A Wonder Woman Fanfiction Story
Episode 4:
Thirty or so mortal minutes later...
Wonder Woman is standing before a part of the super long viewscreen. And, on the viewscreen...is Steve Trevor.
But, with a mostly yellow and blue swirled spirit energy shield emitted from that very same part of the viewscreen... They can talk freely without the other Wonder Women on the station listening in.
Wonder Woman talked The Monitor into it.
Solemnly... Wonder Woman tells him, "sorry to disappoint you, Steve. I know we were looking forward to starting a wonderful two week vacation with Etta Ranch around the Mediterranean Sea."
Kind of convincingly, Steve insists, "it's all right Diana. Duty comes first to save the universe."
Slightly amused... Wonder Woman points out, "faint chuckle. You mean a lot of universes. Don't you, Steve?"
Kind of uncomfortably now... Steve admits, "yeah. It's just..."
Wonder Woman asks, "just what, Steve?"
Steve answers simply, "it's a lot to take in."
Wonder Woman adds, "same here."
Wonder Woman then questions kind of uneasily, "you sure you'll be all right by yourself back on Earth?"
Somewhat bitterly... Steve concludes, "I'll live. I wish I could fight up there with you. But... Moderate sigh. Chaos the god is too powerful for a average United States Colonel like me."
Wonder Woman somberly says, "no. Please don't be like that. You're more than just a soldier. You're the bravest, kindest, and most thoughtful man I could come to know. I'd even give you some ambrosia if I had any. Then you'd just have to come with us to fight Chaos."
Steve slightly smiles.
Sounding better... He figures, "that's a very nice gesture, Diana. Really. Thank you."
Wonder Woman smiles back. She even blushes a little.
Wonder Woman says, "you're welcome Steve. I love you."
Steve says, "I love you too angel."
They wave to each other a little.
Then, reluctantly... Wonder Woman taps the touch screen.
The section of the viewscreen and the spirit energy shield around it turns off.
Wonder Woman moderately sighs annoyedly to herself.
But, she just as quickly starts to look for the other Wonder Women.
Into the 30th century, on Antitime Earth 2...
City streets cover everything aside from the rivers and oceans.
Up and down the city streets... There's colorful apartments of purple and sky blue, black and silvery hovercraft monorails, monolith sized skyscrapers of wildlife preserves and national parks, and floating corporate run International Space Stations of yellow, sparkly silver, and light tan brown filled with restaurants, malls, and fast food joints.
Holographic displayed billboards are projected across high up metallic rimmed windows.
A next generation of the Green Lanterns patrols the civilizations of this future: With green and yellow swirled astral rings and mostly dark purple jumpsuits. They're the Astral Monitoring Police.
They prefer to fly off on rustic gold rimmed mostly sliver and black police hover motorbikes. But, swirled astral energy from their rings is what they use to fire back at robbers and demi-gods alike.
At the AMP's headquarters in Washington, DC... Animated holographic window plaques of past Green Lanterns line the great hall. They're of Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner becoming one with the Green Lantern entity Ion, Harbringer as a Green Lantern, and Laira.
Out of worry of too much power falling into the hands of others... Spirit energy is heavily restricted by corporate powers and government powers alike through Gaianetarium Monitor Stations.
They're only authorized against Olympian Muses, gods, or immediate devastation events. Not even recreation in the Gaianetarium flames is allowed in competition with holo-rooms.
These restrictions are largely under The Laws of Time and Spirit Energy. So are similar restrictions on time travel machines and other Gaianetarium level technology.
Sentient holograms with robot frames that can pass for superheroes and supervillains of the past walk around like it's nothing. Some even help patrol the streets.
After many failed attempts by Brainiac to try to destroy Earth and carry all its recorded information with it... Techno-organic beings have risen out of the scraps.
Over the 28th century, there were many shady dealings from others trying to recreate Brainiac's nanobot technology. But, in a twist of artificially twisted fate, most of the nanobots rebelled and found new masters of their own choosing to merge with: Becoming techno-organic beings.
Some were mind controlled. But, most of them were chosen willingly.
Techno-organic beings each have a Brainiac symbol on their foreheads and waterproof nano-casing throughout their bodies for their nano-circuits. The nanobots are grown from birth into adolescence: Circuits and all.
With some flashes of spreading out purple, pink, and white nebula rings... Lyla as Harbringer appears and disappears by the base of a towering apartment. The Wonder Women are briefly seen there.
With another flash of spreading out purple, pink, and white nebula rings... Harbringer appears on top of the apartment with a slightly confused looking Wonder Woman.
Finding it hard to look up... Harbringer explains, "I should go check on a universe. Good luck."
She turns to start to fly off into space, away from the Astral Monitoring Police's patrols.
But, as she starts to hover in the air... Wonder Woman says something.
Wonder Woman kind of nervously figures, "but what about the disappearances in this universe? You've been fighting for the multiverse for years. You sure I'm ready to lead the Wonder Women?"
Harbringer turns back to her. She faintly smiles.
With her arms wide and her hands open... Harbringer assures, "you're one of the best heroic fighters I know, Diana. You'll do all right."
Wonder Woman very faintly smiles.
Wonder Woman says, "thank you Lyla."
Harbringer adds, "you're welcome."
Harbringer waves goodbye. Wonder Woman waves back.
After a bit... Wonder Woman then mutters to herself, "damn."
She's just realized it's a long way down to jump down: Even for her.
She instead goes down the set of steps going up to the roof, heading for the elevator.
Not long after...
Modeled after Kal-El's rocket ship... There's the mostly very dark blue rimmed marble Legion of Superheroes headquarters, anchored and resting up in a old rocket junkyard parking lot.
And, from among the techno-organic beings... There's a being among the first: One with super intelligence and super fast computational skill. He has circuit detailed bright blue android like microchips and lines down his face and the rest of his darkish green body.
He is Brainiac-5: The only known Brainiac to turn on his creator for good.
His organic side is Coluan. He has brownish blond hair.
He wears mostly dark purple battle wear with black and gold twin crescent upper plating. He wears a matching belt full of pouches for silvery flask like battery juice mix packs to drink on a daily basis for his cyborg nano-circuits. And, his eyes are solid black.
Brainiac-5 is up in the observation room by himself, looking at rustic gray monitors looking at Gaianetarium Monitor Station security monitoring footage across the galaxy in mortal seconds.
Then... He hears footsteps.
Without even turning around... Brainiac-5 comments, "ahh. Saturn Girl."
Standing behind him is Saturn Girl: Aka Imra Ardeen, one of the most powerful telepaths of her people the Titanians. She has slightly chiseled looking paleish clay like skin.
She has blond hair very short on one side and long on the other side.
She wears a closely knit Saturn rings like belt, with a mostly silvery yellow watch face like L symbol on it against dark brown. She wears a custom made mostly dark red Titanian Procedural Forces uniform: With whitish purple shoulder pads, vacuum cleaner styled upper arms in the sleeves, whitish purple gloves with mentally chargeable telekinetic power through intermediate level techno-organic circuitry, and a yellow rimmed mostly chiseled looking black symbol of Saturn in the center.
The symbol of Saturn comes with intermediate techno-organic circuitry. It translates loud grindy sounding Titanian language into languages better on most other beings's hearing by the Titanian wearing the clothing pressing the symbol and thinking of the other language.
Saturn Girl very faintly smiles, trying hard to not show nervousness.
She talks freely in Titanian. Brainiac-5 just calmly has his nano-circuits translate it all.
In translation... Saturn Girl is saying, "have you found Dawnstar and Cosmic Boy already? I'm getting really worried for them."
Relatively last night...
There was Dawnstar: One of the handful of Legion of Superheroes on night patrol for the night.
She has long black hair.
She has bio-engineered white feathered angelic wings. She wears Starhaven battle wear: With a gold tan headband with a gem like symbol in the center, chin guard like gold wing plates by her neck, and blackish gold plating and bright yellow plating with a bright white star medallion in the center.
She flew gracefully and unsuspectingly for the mostly silvery and orange tan gear pillar styled warehouses with garage styled dark blue doors.
There was a call for the Legion of Superheroes about some missing AMP officers.
She found some fallen AMP astral rings by one of the dark blue doors.
Dawnstar called out, "all right then. Whoever is in there, you can't hide from my tracking for...!"
With her gold locket styled Legion flight ring with a big tan L on it against black, she telekinetically raised the door open.
She opened the door...to see magic dancing lights behind it.
A distorted evil laugh echoed through them. A silhouette of a Amazon resembling woman with unruly long hair was faintly seen through the magic dancing lights.
Dawnstar reactively shielded her eyes with her wings.
As she did... She called out, "who are you?!"
But, in mortal seconds... She vanished in her cry before a bright white flash of light.
She tapped her Legion flight ring to send out a distress call.
But, by the time the Legion of Superheroes could get there... The magic dancing lights in the warehouse just vanished away.
Relatively presently...
Sounding like it was obvious... Brainiac-5 just slightly turns to her, "I am searching for Dawnstar and Cosmic Boy. Several more disappearances of Legion members have regrettably come up in my search on the Alpha-Omega scale. But, if I find anything, I'll inform you of..."
He pauses.
In translation... Saturn Girl asks kind of nervously, "what is troubling your Techno-organic mind now, Brainiac-5?"
Turning back to the monitors... Brainiac-5 answers, "more lights in cosmic power. But, a stampede is coming through. Gaianetarium Monitor Stations show they're from the thirty first century of Earth-295: Stemming from a Great Disaster on their Earth where animals became the new major sentient beings in the wake of very few humans left."
Over some monitors, just blocks away... Animal People are coming out from magic dancing lights over a city plaza: With ragged overcoats and light gun pointers of dark blue and dark red.
They're bear, giant giraffe, dog, and giant elephant humanoid people with hands and feet: Firing laser fast fire and charging at each other with claws and hoofed fingers.
They angrily call out, "down with the human fodder! For the bears! For the giraffes!"
The Astral Monitoring Police are firing back with astral energy. But, the Animal People outrun the blasts and just fire at them without breaking a sweat.
City blocks are lit ablaze with laser fire. Hovercraft are blown to flaming pieces as the humanoid giraffes and humanoid elephants stomp past them without a care.
Teary eyed... Saturn Girl realizes, "the Astral Monitoring Police won't stand a chance out there. We better get out there."
She is already fast walking to the rustic light blue golf cart styled elevator.
As he presses keys at super speed by the monitors... Brainiac-5 kind of assures, "I have already sent out the call over the Legion rings."
Meanwhile...
Harbringer is flying into space.
As soon as she's leaving the atmosphere... She calls upon her Green Lantern ring to shield herself from the sudden lack of air with a astral bubble.
She cloaks herself in scattered starlight, blending with the stars and falling stars in space.
She zooms past blurs of fifteen international space stations for many a civilization undetected.
She then slows down in a upward arc, hovering to a stop.
She looks slightly relieved.
And in a crackling spirit energy energization and a flash of spreading out purple, pink, and white nebula rings... She and several forming spirit duplicates are gone.
Back to the year 2013, in orbit of Earth-1...
There's the Justice League's Watchtower. Or at least, what's left of it.
There's no movement. No rescue has come. For unbeknown to Earth-1197 Lex Luthor...this parallel Earth's headquarters has had its electric life ended in abandonment.
The vibrational cosmic space capsule rests in the charred blackened ruins of the watchtower.
Inside the capsule... The baby Alexander Luthor still sleeps. But, in fits of faint cries.
Magic dancing lights, mostly yellow lined dark red android parts of Red Tornado, and fragments of mostly black cosmic Amazon battle wear, of Superman's costume, of Lex Luthor's battlesuit, of a Supergirl's costume, and of a purple visor and helmet circle around.
All the while... The Monitor's station is shrouded in uncertainty in the cosmic balance.
Harbringer appears with her several spirit duplicates.
With their chronokinesis... They freeze time long enough against the very slowly moving magic dancing lights all around them to make a clear path to the space capsule.
They rejoin as one being by the space capsule.
Harbringer takes a heavy breath.
She opens the space capsule.
She gasps in surprise.
For, before her... The baby is already one year old, and he's not even up yet.
No wonder he's having fits in his sleep. He's cramped inside the creaking capsule with barely any room left to turn on his side.
After a bit... Harbringer recovers from her initial shock.
She reaches over to the one year old Alexander Luthor, kind of scooping him up in her hands.
And, with a flash of spreading out purple, pink, and white nebula rings... They're gone.
In the 30th century, back in a certain city plaza on Antitime Earth 2...
AMP hover bikes crash down in fiery explosions.
Only the AMP's astral shields shield them in time. But, they're already fluctuating.
Propeller less hover helicopters of mostly dark red, green, and purple are coming to put out the fires: With water producing hose tubes quickly turning atmospheric particles into liquid water.
Two AMP officers are slashed at by humanoid bears. Their astral rings are slashed to pieces.
Ten are scooped up by bulgy long humanoid giraffe arms...and thrown hard into then shattering glass windows of apartment buildings.
Many people are running for it screaming: Techno-organic or otherwise.
The league of Wonder Women arrive...just as several members of the Legion of Superheroes are flying in: With flight and anti-gravity generating Legion flight rings.
One is Colossal Boy: With medium dark brown hair, wearing a mostly light red and bright blue jumpsuit and a light red headband. One is Lightning Lass: With short blondish red hair, wearing a silvery and yellow lined dark blue sleeveless jumpsuit and matching gloves. And, one is Wildfire: With a gray black, red, and dark orange containment suit for his antimatter energy essence.
Their acting leader is Saturn Girl, who has just given them all orders.
The AMP retreat.
They're falling back with the crowd, with astral shields to shield them from the laser fast fire.
The AMP call back, "headquarters won't believe this one! This is more up your alley anyway, Legion! Who in Gaia blazes let these animals loose?!"
Noticing the Wonder Women... Saturn Girl swiftly hovers in front of them, her Legion flight ring on hand.
She presses her Saturn symbol over her upper body.
With a kind of funny look... Wonder Woman asks, "why are you pointing to yourself like that?"
Saturn Girl explains kind of awkwardly, "it's my techno-organic translator. You're from the 21st century, aren't you?"
She's already picking up a fairly clear mental image of the Wonder Women's thoughts: However off putting at first all the new divergent thoughts at once are.
Somewhat nervously, Earth-1975 Wonder Woman points out, "we've been going from universe to universe to do our best to stop Chaos and the devastation its bringing to the universes."
Saturn Girl concludes firmly, "then let's come together to stop this devastation."
Earth-1975 Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman faintly smile. Saturn Girl faintly smiles back.
With her hands by her head, and with her eyes closed... Saturn Girl projects telepathic illusions into the minds of all the Animal People at once: Making everyone else around invisible to their senses so they only keep firing at each other and no one else.
Fires in the streets are fading quick. The hover helicopters are falling back.
Earth-1975 Wonder Woman checks, "you okay?"
Not even opening her eyes... Saturn Girl comments back sternly, "only if you let me focus my mental illusions to help us."
Earth-1975 Wonder Woman looks at her a little funny. But, she doesn't argue: Not noticing any illusions around her for it to seem to be a trap of some kind.
Around then... Magic dancing lights are appearing and disappearing across the street like crazy...with thirty or so Shadow Manhunters fly charging out from them.
With her Amazon crested shield out... Earth-947 Wonder Woman charge fly slams and kicks through many humanoid animals in a row. They all go down stunned.
Wonder Woman, being nearly hit in the crossfire of laser fast fire, jumps for it while getting out her golden lasso.
She gets her golden lasso around a apartment balcony, using it to swing up: Kicking out many humanoid animals in a row in mid-swing.
She's a little out of breath when she lands. But, she's in good condition.
Then, realizing someone is hovering there... Wonder Woman annoyedly says, "what is it?"
Devastator Woman complains, "you've got other mes having fun destroying. What about me?!"
With a arm pointing out to the magic dancing lights... Wonder Woman suggests, "see those shadows? Go have fun with them."
Devastator Woman goes all too happily, "ooh! Fun!"
She goes after the Shadow Manhunters trying to charge for the others.
Wonder Woman sighs moderately to herself, shaking her head.
Wildfire is up there over the magic dancing lights.
The plan was originally to absorb their energy and channel it back at the Animal People. But now, he's channeling rays of antimatter at the Shadow Manhunters: All slowing down significantly.
But then... A darkly laughing Devastator Woman is quick to surprise blast them all to near blinding destruction in goddess falling stars.
Kind of amused, Wildfire comments sarcastically, "and the Legion says I'm Wildfire."
Lightning Lass and Earth-1900 Wonder Woman electro-blast and God-Overkill lightning blast most of the humanoid elephants to unconsciousness. Earth-2011 Wonder Woman is run charging and diving past humanoid animals with two tranquilizers: Eerily happy to send them to unconsciousness.
Colossal Boy grows giant sized to literally tackle and throw back most of the humanoid giraffes through the mostly still magic dancing lights like goalposts.
Earth-1975 Wonder Woman holds up her Amazon wristbands, deflecting a lot of laser fast fire into most of the remaining humanoid animals's light gun pointers.
The light gun pointers explode out of their hands...temporarily blinding everyone but Wildfire and Wonder Woman in one fell swoop.
The scream of a disappearing Colossal Boy is heard...as the magic dancing lights fade away.
When Wonder Woman uncovers her eyes... She sees Saturn Girl offering to help her up.
Wonder Woman accepts, letting her help her back up to her feet.
Wonder Woman says, "thank you."
Saturn Girl somberly concludes, "you're welcome Diana. But, even with our good thought out plans...I have a feeling this is not the end of the disappearances."
Wonder Woman nervously points out, "Saturn Girl...you sure you know how close you are to the truth about Chaos's devastation?"
Teary eyed... Saturn Girl admits, "I do know. Faint sniffle. I don't want to think about it much. But...I know someone who already is."
Not long after, back at Legion Headquarters...
Down in the dark basement level... Brainiac-5 is by a mostly dark purplish blue console laced with light blue nano-circuits, pressing bits of it super fast.
A electrically charging glass like bubble on a dark purplish blue stand is in front of it.
From across the way... Saturn Girl says, "be careful. There's only one Brainiac-5."
Brainiac-5 insists assuringly, "I always calculate the possibilities to the best of my intelligence."
Saturn Girl very faintly smiles before getting into the elevator to go up.
Wonder Woman very faintly smiles, "you know, you don't have to get your time machine ready. Harbringer is going to come any mortal time. You're welcome to come back with us without it."
Brainiac-5 concludes, "moderate sigh. I appreciate your help. We all do. But, with a antimatter temporal spatial rift machine that can be charged up by Chaos... Yes: That was my findings from the scan on the lights of cosmic power. The point is it could be fired anytime Chaos feels like it: Even if the records currently record it as different."
Wonder Woman sarcastically comments, "yeah. Thanks for bringing that up."
Not taking the hint... Brainiac-5 adds, "you're welcome."
Wonder Woman slightly glares. That catches Brainiac-5 off guard.
But, just as quickly... Brainiac-5 points out, "still, even if Harbringer comes before the point in time the antimatter rift gets to our universe... Any member of our Legion going back in time will otherwise be quickly noticed by the Astral Monitoring Police. One or two of us is already a big risk when it comes to Gaianetarium Monitor Stations. But, I can perfectly calculate how to fool their scans. We'll have to break the Laws of Time and Energy for me to go back with you so we can bring back disappearing members of our Legion, save this universe, and save many others from the antimatter rift."
Sounding very off put... Wonder Woman figures, "then why didn't you just say that?"
Sounding kind of confused... Brainiac says, "I just did. Didn't I?"
Wonder Woman just moderately sighs to herself.
With some flashes of spreading out purple, pink, and white nebula rings... A faintly smiling Harbringer returns alone: Reaching out her hand to a relieved looking Wonder Woman.
Around Legion Headquarters... Her spirit duplicates reach out to the other five Wonder Women.
Taking the hint... Brainiac-5 gets into his time pod, closing the circular door behind him.
And, in a electrified very bright blue flash and another flash of spreading out purple, pink, and white nebula rings... They're all gone from Legion Headquarters and from the 30th century.
