DESCRIPTION: A crossover between Dragon Ball Z (Anime Series) and the Justice League (Animated TV Series).
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Dragon Ball Z or Justice League. Everything related Dragon Ball Z and Justice League belong to their respective creators.
A/N: Finally posted a new chapter (yaaay~!) and Vegito's gonna get some more action in this chapter (yaaay! for Vegito fans). I'm still trying to figure out how to better write the action scenes as I find myself focusing too much on a character and end up giving him/her most of the limelight during a fight. I'll try to balance it out as I continue producing more chapters. Well, practice makes perfect right? :)
Also, regarding the pairings for this story, I've not thought that much about it yet as I don't find it necessary for Vegito to start a relationship just yet but then again, that doesn't mean he won't ;)
Therefore I'm open to suggestions from my fellow FanFiction readers out there who are reading Justice League Z to choose a partner whom you want to see with Vegito.
And to end it off, again, I apologize for the long waiting time. In any case, please enjoy and review Chapter 6 of Justice League Z! :)
Chapter 6: The Imperium
Lightning stuck from yellow cumulonimbus clouds that filled the skies of the city Metropolis. A bio-mechanical alien factory stood, taller than the neighboring buildings, as it continues to drill into the Earth while pumping out more of the yellowish toxic gas into the atmosphere. By now, the entire city had fallen into darkness as the gas had already spread throughout, blocking out the sun. The invaders got what they desired, eternal darkness.
On the roof of a building not far from where the alien factory was, Vegito and J'onn landed from their flight. It was where they were going to meet up with the others.
"Hey J'onn." Asked Vegito. "For what purpose do you think the heroes of this Earth hide their true identity?"
"For many reasons. Sone do not wish for their civilian life to be affected and yet they wish to be the hero of their people, while others simply hide their identites for various safety reasons." J'onn replied.
"Back in my world, we don't really see the point in hiding our identities. We are what we are, helping people openly, doing things honestly without having to hide anything from anyone." Vegito said as he recalled his memories.
"I guess it's each to their own preferences. Though, I'm never putting on one of those silly looking costumes." Vegito chuckled.
"You seem pretty wise from the way you speak." J'onn smiled as he complimented him.
"Hey, two minds in one remember?" Vegito joked while pointing to his temple.
A red blur sped up the building, followed by John whose greenish aura disappeared as he landed beside Flash. They were soon greeted with Diana who was carrying a wounded Batman.
Making sure that she does not aggravate his injuries, Diana gently placed Batman down on the roof as everyone gathered.
"What happened to Bats?" Flash was the first to show concern. As the fastest man alive, he has got to be the fastest in showing concern too.
"He got shot by one of the foot soldiers while we were trying to escape the factory." Diana replied.
Batman grunted as the wound stung. He knew that he would not be able to carry on fighting in his current condition as much as he hates it.
"He can't fight alongside us anymore, not with a leg like that." John's remark only gotten him a bat glare which caused him to back off briefly.
"Green Lantern is right. You will only aggravate your wound if you were to continue fighting." J'onn agreed with the Green Lantern.
"I don't need you guys to tell me what I can or cannot do. It is my decision whether I can continue fighting or not." Batman cringed as a sharp pain came from his wound.
"Stop being so stubborn!" Diana reprimanded as she felt irritated by his actions.
Vegito sighed as he unfolded his arms as he knelt down beside Batman.
"What are you-?" Batman said in his usual demanding voice but Vegito cut him off by placing his palm above the wound, which a yellow glow formed around his palm as Vegito concentrated. The wounds on Batman's leg healing rapidly.
"There, as good as new." Said Vegito as he stood up, satisfied with the result. Batman's eyes widened in disbelief the moment he tried flexing his leg muscles. It was like the injury was never there to begin with.
"Now that was unexpected. You have healing powers as well?" Green Lantern remarked.
"Cool! Now we have a medic on our team." Flash joked.
"Well, I can only heal minor physical injuries such as cuts and burns, so it's not that great of an asset." Vegito rubbed the back of his head while grinning.
The entire city was in the state of chaos. Building were either severely damaged, people were either fleeing for their lives or stealing stuff since the world was "about to end".
"Perhaps Mother was right about mankind. They act like untamed savages." Diana shook her head with displease as she saw two men robbed a store.
"You made your assumption just from that? Oh please." Vegito scoffed, earning a stare from Diana which he brushed off.
"Do not judge them too quickly. They act out of fear." J'onn corrected her views.
"You should be more observant princess." Vegito took off the building towards two men who were trying to move a fallen debris. It was then where Diana's view on mankind took a turn for the better.
"Help! There's a little girl trapped underneath!" The two rugged men pleaded for help as the debris would not budge.
Landing beside them, Vegito lifted the debris and flung it aside with ease, revealing a frightened young girl who was in tears. Diana landed beside the girl, bringing her up to her feet.
"There there, it's okay now." Diana comforted the girl.
"We'll take the girl to her mother. Saw her leaving for help not too long ago. Thanks." The two men thanked the heroes as they took the girl to her mother.
"Well?" Vegito smirked."Pretty helpful for a bunch of savages don't cha think?"
Diana agreed that she was naive and simply looking at things in a shallow manner.
"Perhaps there is more to mankind which I have yet to discover." She reflected on her words earlier as she waved to the girl.
"Just in case you guys haven't noticed, but we're still short of two person." Green Lantern raised a concern which caused everyone to realize that Superman and Hawk Girl are missing.
J'onn's eyes glowed yellow which led everyone to wonder what he was doing, except for a certain Saiyan.
"Superman and Hawk Girl, they're in trouble." He spoke which made everyone wonder how he knew of their condition.
"What makes you so sure?" Green Lantern asked.
"He's right. They are currently unconscious and are being held captive in a factory nearby." Vegito simply responded, supporting J'onn's statement.
"How do you guys even figure these stuff out?" Flash was puzzled.
"I can sense them." J'onn replied while Vegito remained silent. To him, it was not that big of a deal to be able to sense others. Heck, he could even sense every living being on this planet and beyond.
"We can save the conversation for later. Right now we got to make rescuing Hawk Girl and Superman our top priority." Batman interrupted. They cannot afford to waste anymore time.
With the decision made, the team made their way towards the factory closest to them. It was heavily guarded by five alien walkers that were patrolling the grounds.
"Not more of these things..." Green Lantern grumbled as the walkers turned their attention towards them.
"Time to kick some white alien butt!" Flash exclaimed as he super sped his way in the middle of all the walkers.
"Over here you white alien freaks- Hey what the?" He looked up surprised to Vegito already floating above him with his arms crossed. He just out sped "The Flash" who held the title of 'The Fastest Man In The World'.
Diana blinked and looked to her side before looking back to where Vegito was.
"By the Gods..." Diana gaped.
"When did he even get there? I didn't even notice he was gone!" Green Lantern looked just as flabbergasted as Diana.
Batman narrowed his eyes. There was more to this Saiyan than it meets the eye and he is going to get his answers after all this has ended.
"His ability is beyond my comprehension." Even J'onn could not make out what really happened.
"Gotta love Instant Transmission." A technique he inherited from one of his fusees. Just by homing in and focusing on a Ki source, he could transport himself instantaneously anywhere near the source of the Ki signature.
Holding out his hand, five Ki balls formed at the tip of his fingers.
"Banshee blast!" Using one of his signature techniques for the second time, Vegito shouted as the Ki balls enlarged and homed in on each of the five alien walkers, obliterating their heads, leaving behind toppling alien limbs.
"Hate to admit it but I'm impressed by his strength." Green Lantern said, amazed by Vegito's power.
Vegito descended with Flash frowning as he did not have a chance to do anything. "Oh c'mon, at least save some of the action for us will ya?"
"Heh heh. Sorry, got a little ahead of myself." Vegito rubbed the back of his head as he apologized.
Diana flew to the factory's base with the others following behind.
"Hah!" She shouted as she threw a straight fist towards the wall of the factory. The wall gave way and created a large opening, startling the alien foot soldiers.
Lifting their weapons, the aliens fired beams at their threat while a few retreated to call in reinforcements.
Diana shifted her arms to accurately deflect the oncoming beams, killing a few of the attacking aliens as some the beams got deflected towards them.
With the aliens focusing their attacks on Diana, Batman threw an exploding batarang that lodged itself into one of the alien's head. Beeping rapidly, the batarang exploded, the shock wave sweeping some of its victims off their feet while killing those that got caught in the explosion.
Flash ran circles around his enemies, knocking them out before they could even notice him, while Green Lantern created a giant solid shere of green energy using his ring. He swung his ring arm with the green sphere following his movements, taking along with it several alien foot soldiers. The fight ended quickly even without J'onn's and Vegito's aid.
"I sensed the location of Superman and Hawk Girl, they are just below us. This way." J'onn flew off towards the location where Superman and Hawk Girl were held captive as the others followed.
After engaging several more foot soldiers along the way, the team finally made it to the room that held Superman and Hawk Girl captive. They were hung upside down while being trapped in a pod that covered till their shoulders.
"Superman, Hawk Girl!" Diana ran towards them wanting to free her allies as quickly as possible.
There was something odd about their Ki signature. Superman's Ki was not suppressed at all like when he first encountered him. He then sensed and notice the aliens around them at the exits around the room.
"That's strange, why aren't they fighting us?" Vegito thought to himself as a sudden realization hit him.
"Diana wait! It's a trap!" Vegito's warnings were too late as the exits started sealing themselves. Diana turned around and then back to Hawk Girl whose eyes opened suddenly. Superman awoke as well and his and Hawk Girl had blood red eyes. They were fakes!
As they were stunned by the sudden deception, toxic yellowish gases spewed from tiny openings of the walls, ceiling, and floor. Everyone inhaled the gas and started coughing. Their body also started to feel numb as the paralysis side effect from inhaling the gas started to kick in.
"*Cough* G L *Cough* Your ring- *Cough* Ugh..." Flash soon lost consciousness as numbness took over his mind.
"Can't... focus... *Cough*" Green Lantern tried his hardest to focus his will but the numbness was taking over his mind.
Diana, Batman, and J'onn were down for the count as well, leaving Vegito who wobbled as the numbness was getting to him too.
"Gotta get out of here!" Vegito tried to form a Ki shield around him but felt as if his body was not his and can no longer control his Ki. Sure he was overpowered, but he not invulnerable. Numbness soon took over and every thing went black.
"...ito." A muffled voice was heard.
"Ugh…" Vegito groaned and he tried to focus, his aching head and blurry vision subsiding slowly.
The voice became clearer, "Vegito... Vegito! Wake up!" It belonged to Superman, who attempted to wake the Saiyan up.
With the paralysis wearing off, the team woke up to find themselves stuck to a wall of sticky alien substance similar to the one that Flash had encountered.
Scanning every detail in their surroundings, Vegito now knew where they were. He could get out of this flimsy tissue paper of a substance if he wanted to but he'll act helpless and observe quietly for now.
Superman's eyes glowed red as he tried using his heat vision to free himself, but the paralysis was still in effect, not allowing him to use his powers. "I can't control my powers yet." He cursed.
"Well well well, look what we have here? And I thought the Man of Steel was confident in being able to protect the Earth." A voice that sounded familiar to all but the Man of Steel himself spoke.
Standing before them was U.S. Senator Carter, with two foot soldier acting as bodyguards beside him.
"Senator Carter? You're with them?" Superman felt shocked and betrayed.
"He's not who you think he is. The real Carter got killed on Mars." J'onn felt the fake Carter's energy being the same as the invaders.
"Ah, the last surviving Martian. You will be joining the rest of your kind soon enough. Our leader is coming, and he'll have the pleasure of putting the Martians to extinction. Of course, not forgetting the Earth." The fake Carter smirked as a continuous booming noise could be heard getting closer and closer.
"He's here." J'onn remarked while looking up, with the rest of the team doing so.
The top flaps above opened revealing a huge black alien spaceship that spanned across the skies, hovering above the factory. It was then the ship released a similar but smaller sized spaceship that descended just meters above them. From there, the bottom of the ship opened and brought down a hideous black creature believed to be the alien leader. It looked like a giant black egg-shaped jelly with tentacles squiggling about, and was levitating.
"Eww... I'm never eating japanese food ever again." Flash felt disgusted looking at it.
Fake Carter bowed at the presence of his leader. "Our leader, we have successfully suppressed and disabled the Earth and its defenders. We've also found the last surviving Martian who suspended us in stasis."
As if satisfied with what was said, the alien leader levitated towards the heroes, its voice seemingly echoed mysteriously from within its body. "J'onn J'onzz. You had been a thorn at my feet."
Black tentacles reached out towards J'onn and wrapped around his torso, ripping him easily from the substance that was trapping him.
"Let him go!" Superman shouted as he tried to stall for time.
"Silence human!" The alien leader boomed, thrusting one of its many free tentacles, hitting Superman across his face, not that it hurt him.
"You will get your turn soon enough after I rip this eyesore from the inside out." The alien leader planned to penetrate its tentacles through the flesh of its victim as it raised its remaining tentacles.
*Yaaaawn*
Vegito let out a loud yawn that had everyone's attention on him.
"This is getting way too boring." Vegito flexed his muscles and emitted a small wave of Ki from his body, easily ripping apart the substance that was "restraining" him. With a speed before anyone could react, Vegito fazed out and reappeared between J'onn and the alien leader, shocking all who were present.
With one arm grabbing the tentacle that was holding J'onn, he gave what seemed like a solid punch that sent the alien leader to the other end of the factory like a missile, the sound of its body slamming against the factory walls echoing throughout the area. There was a moment of silence.
Pointing his index finger towards his new allies, Vegito fired swift streams of Ki beams that freed the them from their prison.
Vegito looked around seeing as all the alien invaders are prepared to launch an all out attack. He looked to the other heroes, seeing as they too are ready for battle.
He fell into a unique stance that felt natural to him, similar to that of a boxer.
Vegito gave his usual confident grin. "Alright, let's have some fun shall we?"
The DC heroes got kind of left out from all the action but only because I wanted more action time for Vegito since previously the DC heroes did all the fighting and Vegito just observed. As said earlier, I'll try to fairly distribute the fights in the oncoming chapters, giving each character their awesome moments.
Oh, and don't forget to review :)
Till next time.
