Okay, just to let you know, I changed the gravity from 100x to 10x. I guess I was thinking about Goku's training when he was going to Namek. Sorry about that.
Time for another exciting chapter! And in case you didn't know, I have closed down the poll. And the winner is The Mistress of Magic: Zatanna! I would have thought that Supergirl had it, but Zatanna won. Sorry Supergirl fans. Anyways, I have uploaded another poll question if you are interested in answering. The question is: If I were to write another crossover that involves Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, which of the following categories would you like for me to write with?
With that, let's get this started!
Chapter 6
It has been over a week since Raizen joined The Team. Since then, there hasn't been any mission provided for them. Wanting to train, Raizen, wearing his undersuit, went to gym that was inside the base and started to do some bench presses. Since he wanted to push himself to the limit, he filled the bar with all the 45 lbs. there were until each side of the bar was filled. As he was doing some reps, Zatanna walked in and saw him bench pressing.
"Oh my god!" Zatanna said in a startled way, "You should be careful with that!"
When Raizen places the bar in place, he sits up and said "My planet's gravity is 10x heavier than Earth's. This weight is nothing to me."
Zatanna's mouth dropped and said "10x the gravity? That is heavy!"
Raizen laughed and said "Tell me about it. If you can survive Planet Vegeta, you can survive anywhere."
Interested in Raizen's abilities, Zatanna asked "So…what else can you do besides almost having the same abilities as Superman?"
Raizen replied "Everything you saw with my battle against the one you call Metallo. But there is one thing that you all haven't seen yet."
"What is it?" Zatanna asked.
Raizen said "Under a full moon, I turn into a gigantic ape."
Zatanna's eyes widen and said "For real?! You turn into a giant ape?!"
Raizen chuckled and said "That is how I defeated the one called Ares."
"So," Zatanna said, "Every full moon you turn into an ape? That's amazing."
All of a sudden, Miss Martian's voice said in Zatanna's mind "Zatanna, can you find Raizen and bring him to the briefing room, please? I tried to contact him, but his mind is too strong for me."
As Zatanna nodded, she looks at Raizen and said "Raizen, Miss Martian just talked to me right now and we need to head to the briefing room."
When Raizen nodded, he followed Zatanna to the briefing room where Red Tornado and the rest of The Team were present. Once Raizen and Zatanna were there, Red Tornado said "Now that everyone is here, we should get started."
Tornado then summoned a hologram keyboard and started to type something. Just then, an image of Wayne Industries and Tornado said "There has been an alarm that went off in Wayne Industry and we need The Team to investigate it."
As everyone nodded, Tornado said "Since this is only a covert operation and there are a lot of you, only four of you will go. Robin, you will lead the team."
When Robin cheered, Tornado said "Miss Martian, you will accompany him. It is likely that they will pick up your communication, so use your telepathic link."
Miss Martian nodded in agreement while Tornado said "Artemis, you will act as a scout and watch over the team."
As Artemis smiled at this, Tornado then said "And in case you all are discovered or something goes terribly wrong, you will need strength."
Everyone all look at Superboy as if knowing what Tornado will say. But to their surprise, Tornado said "That is why Raizen will accompany you."
"What?!" everyone shouted.
"Forget that," Superboy said, "Why does he have to go and not me?"
Tornado replied "This would be a good time for him to learn how missions are carried out and to learn to work with others."
Raizen shrugged and said "Whatever you say."
"Glad to hear," Tornado said, "You all leave now."
The Bio-Ship floated on top Wayne Industry, which was a one story factory, while Robin, Miss Martian, Artemis and Raizen, who was wearing his armor, were getting themselves ready. Feeling like Raizen might get in the way, Artemis looks at Raizen and said "Hey, we are just going in just to look around. We need you to stay here until we need help."
Raizen huffed and said "You're just saying that to keep me out of the action."
Robin then said "We don't know how many there are."
As Raizen pressed his Scouter, the device started to make some noise until it made a beep noise. Raizen then said "Yeah you're right, I should stay here. There is only one person inside that factory."
"One person?" Robin asked, "Really?"
Raizen looks at him and said "Yeah, why? Is that strange or something?"
Robin replied "Well, yeah. This factory is usually full of workers. For this factory to be empty is suspicious."
"Well then," Raizen said as he sat on one of the chairs, "Have fun."
Artemis rolled her eyes and thought "Glad to know he won't ruin the mission."
Her thoughts were interrupted when Robin said "Okay team, let's go in and find out what's going on and why the alarms went off."
Miss Martian then said "And Raizen, be sure to have your mind open for me to contact you. In case we need back up."
When he agreed, they exited the ship and made their way inside the factory. Once they touch the ground, there was a brown mist that floated on the ground and the three of them inhaled its intoxicated air. Everyone coughed and Artemis said "What the hell is this?"
"I don't know," Robin said suspiciously, "But this looks familiar. Almost like…"
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
When Artemis and Robin turn towards the voice that screamed, they saw Miss Martian curled up in a ball. Confused, Artemis asked "Miss Martian, are you okay?"
Miss Martian then screamed "Fire! There's fire everywhere!"
"Fire?" Robin asked, "But…there isn't any fire."
"Yeah," Artemis said, "There is nothing to…"
All of a sudden, she felt something going up her legs. When she slowly looks down, she saw spiders going up her legs. Artemis screams and yelled "Holy crap, there are spiders here!"
She then drops her bow and starts to pat her body. Realizing what's going on, Robin said "Crap, now I know what this stuff is: Fear Toxin! Which means…"
Out of nowhere, there was a hysterical laugh bouncing off the walls of the factory. Robin knew that laugh and said "Scarecrow."
Suddenly, Scarecrow's voice said "Well, Well, Well, if it isn't the little bird. I was hoping to get the big bat here, but I could go after you and your friends."
When Robin was about to get his Batarang, his vision starts to blur and saw the whole room closing in on him. In fear, Robin fell to his knees as an image appeared in front of him. From the looks of it, it was an image of a scarecrow wearing rags, a brown mask with stitches on them and a hat. And in it's left hand was a giant scythe.
Scarecrow laughed and said "What's the matter? Are you scared?"
Looking up on Scarecrow, Robin saw his face being twisted and maggots coming out of the openings. Scarecrow raised his scythe and said "Let's see how Batman reacts when he hears about this little bird losing his wings."
When Scarecrow was about to swing it downward, there was a crash coming from the ceiling and something landed in front of Scarecrow. As Scarecrow saw who it was, he saw Raizen standing in front of him. Raizen huffed and said "Who the hell are you?"
"I am the Scarecrow," the villain said, "And you will experience fear."
At that moment, Scarecrow raised his right hand and sends a smoke of Fear Toxin right into Raizen's face. When the cloud hits Raizen's face, he sniffed the toxin and then he sneezed. Raizen said "What is this stuff? Are you trying to make me sneeze or something?"
Scarecrow chuckled and said "Not quite. This toxin exposes your greatest fear. And at any moment, you will tremble to your knees."
Expecting Raizen to fall to his knees and cower in fear, Raizen just stood there and said "When is the part where I suppose to be scared?"
Alarmed at this, Scarecrow said "It's…It's not working. How is it not working?"
Raizen smirked and said "Simple, if you toxin exposes my greatest fear then I have a surprise for you, I have no fear. I have faced things that only existed in your nightmares, hunted down creatures that are unmatched and have battle foes whose strength is beyond mines. So trust me when I say I fear nothing."
Gritting his teeth, Scarecrow grips his scythe with both hands and said "We will see about that!"
He then swings his scythe across Raizen's head, but the Saiyan ducks and allows the scythe to swing right past him. Missing him, Scarecrow swings it again, only this time it came downwards. Just as it came in contact with him, Raizen disappeared in thin air and then reappeared behind Scarecrow.
"It's over," Raizen said, "You are dealing with someone who is beyond you. Give up."
As Scarecrow looks at the frighten heroes, he grinned and said "If I'm going down, might as well let someone finish you off."
At that moment, Scarecrow lowered his right hand and released a cloud of Fear Toxin into the air, letting Miss Martian, Robin and Artemis inhale the toxin. Scarecrow then points his hand at Raizen, sending the Fear Toxin at him. Rolling his eyes, Raizen dashed up to him and sends a soft jab into Scarecrow's face, sending him across the room and knocking him unconscious. When Raizen looks over at the others, they were recovering from the Fear Toxin and got up.
Robin looks at Miss Martian and said "Miss Martian, are you alright?"
Miss Martian nodded while she looks at Artemis and said "What about you, Artemis? Are you feeling fine?"
Artemis wrapped her arms and said "Remind me to never EVER face that guy!"
Raizen let of a sigh of relief and said "Glad to know you are all alright."
When the three of them look at Raizen, they begin to panic and Miss Martian said "What is that thing?!"
Alerted, Raizen turns around to expect something, but saw nothing. What was scaring all of them? Artemis reached for her bow, picks it up, got one of her arrows and said "What the hell do you think it is? It's a giant lizard!"
"Giant lizard?" Raizen asked as he turns towards them, "I don't see any…"
But when he saw Artemis, she was pointing her arrow at him! That is when Raizen realized that Scarecrow must have cancelled out their previous fear and replaced it with a common fear. Now, instead of seeing Raizen, he is betting that the three of them are seeing a giant lizard in place of him.
"Ah crap," Raizen said as Artemis fires her arrow at him.
Knowing he can catch it, Raizen just held out his left hand and caught it. When he gave Artemis a disappointing look, the arrow started to beep, and in the matter of seconds, it exploded. Catching Raizen by surprise, he was send flying to one of the machines and knocks it over as he fell to the ground. When he tried to get up, Miss Martian already levitated a huge machine over Raizen's body and then drops it on top of him. As soon as the machince landed on top of Raizen, everyone felt relief.
"Nice job, you guys," Robin said as he looks at Scarecrow, "I don't know how Scarecrow got knocked out, but we have to call in Batman. He has to know that he got out of…"
At that moment, Raizen pushes the machine off of him, gets up and yelled "What the hell are you all thinking?! We were supposed to be on the same team!"
Everyone looks at Raizen and Robin said "How is this thing still breathing?"
Miss Martian then said "Let me see if I can enter its mind."
When Miss Martian's eyes glowed, they dimmed and said "I-I can't read its mind!"
Robin and Artemis looked at her as she said "Its mind is too strong for me."
"Oh for god's sake!" Raizen complained, "It's me!"
Robin then took out as few Batarangs and said "Let's see how this thing likes this!"
He then threw them at Raizen. However, when the Batarangs were near him, Raizen disappeared into thin air as the Batarangs hits the wall, causing an explosion. Their eyes widen and Artemis said in a worried way "Where did it go?!"
All of a sudden, Raizen appeared behind Robin and said "That's it, if I have to knock you guys out, then you leave me no choice."
Hearing Raizen's voice, when Robin looks back, Raizen delivers a soft strike into Robin's neck, causing him to fall to the floor unconscious. In horror, Miss Martian cried "ROBIN!"
When Artemis was about to get another bow, Raizen saw this and rushed up to her. With no time to react, Artemis just stood there as Raizen delivers a soft punch into her stomach. Gasping for air, Artemis just fell to the floor and was knocked out. Scared for her life, Miss Martian levitated a few more objects and began to throw them at Raizen. But with slight movements, Raizen was either moving out of the way or deflecting them by knocking them away from him. When he was near Miss Martian, he saw fear in her eyes as they were pouring down tears.
Raizen sighed and said "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
And before Miss Martian knew it, her whole world had turned dark.
Miss Martian gasped for air and she woke up. When she looks around, she saw that she was back in Mount Justice. As Miss Martian looks over, she saw Robin and Artemis barely getting up. Once they were all up, Artemis groan and said "What happened?"
Robin stretched his arms and said "Last thing I remember, we were fighting that giant lizard."
Not understanding any of it, Miss Martian said "Then how did we get here?"
Out of nowhere, a voice said "About time you all woke up."
When they all turned, they saw Raizen standing there with a stern look on his face. Furious, Artemis said "Where were you?! We were under attack by a giant lizard!"
"Where was I?!" Raizen shouted, "I was right there when you guys were acting like little crybabies! After I took down this Scarecrow, you guys attacked me!"
"You weren't there," Robin said, "We were under attack by…"
"No," Raizen said, "You guys were thinking that you were attacking a giant lizard. But in reality, you were attacking me!"
Not understanding, Robin said "That makes no sense, unless…"
Suddenly, a new voice said "Unless it was Scarecrow's Fear Toxin."
When they all look up, they saw Batman walking into the room. He then said "I have analyzed you blood and found large traces of Fear Toxin in your systems. Scarecrow must have a special one on all of you so that you see Raizen differently. And acting in fear, you all attacked him."
Their eyes widen in shock as Raizen said "I had to knock all of you out before anything happened."
Robin rubbed his head and said "And what happened afterwards?"
Raizen replied "I dragged you all back to the ship, flew it back to the base and contacted help. After I told Batman here that it was this Scarecrow, he returned to the factory and arrested him there. Then he brought some antidote and cured you all."
"Hang on," Artemis said, "If we all were infected by the Fear Toxin, how come you weren't infected?"
Raizen smirked and said "Sweetheart, I have stared death in the face countless time in the past. Fear has nothing on me."
He then turns around and said "Now, if you excuse me, I will take my leave."
With that, Raizen left them. Batman looks at them and said "Get some rest, the effects should wear off."
After he said that, Batman left the three of them. Artemis slams her fist into her bed and said "I can't believe that we fell for Scarecrow's mind game! How could we have known he would be there?!"
Robin shook his head and said "I knew something was wrong, but I led us in there anyways. I should have called it in."
After a moment of silence, Miss Martian said "We should be thankful that Raizen showed up. Who knows what could of happen."
"Be thankful?" Artemis said, "The guy knocked us out!"
Robin then said "Only because we attacked him. We thought we were attacking a giant lizard. But in reality, we were attacking Raizen. Let's face it, we were the ones who mess up here."
As Artemis sighed, Miss Martian said "Maybe we should get some rest. And the next time we see Raizen, we should apologize for what we did."
After thinking a minute, Robin and Artemis agreed as they all feel asleep. While they did that, Raizen was walking down the hallways towards his room. Right before he enters his room, a voice said "Raizen, wait up."
When Raizen turns around, he saw Batman walking up to him. Once he was near the Saiyan, Batman said "There is something that you have to do."
Suspicious, Raizen said "What is it?"
Batman replied "You have to take a placement test in order to attend school."
"School?" Raizen asked.
Batman replied "You want to fit in? You have to do as you are told."
"Alright," Raizen said, "What do I have to do?"
Batman said "Just answer the questions with the best of your knowledge and then we'll see what school to put you in."
As Raizen shrugged, he agreed and followed Batman to determine what school he will attend to.
And that is it! I hope you like it that Raizen is completely immune to Scarecrow's Fear Toxin. The reason why it didn't work is because a Saiyan's immune system is far stronger than the average human, which means that they are completely immune to any disease. Don't believe me, look it up. Originally, I wanted Raizen to be afraid of needles like Goku in the Dragonball series, but then thought it wouldn't work since it wouldn't go along with his personality. Next time: a surprise visitor!
