(Last time on Return of the Cupboard)
"Yeah and so what? I got rid of the invasion didn't I?" He asked has he tossed his toy.
"Yes you did, but do you really expect us to pay now?" She asked.
"If you know what's good for ya. Of course I could just take you for payment. After all I like threesomes." Lobo said has he licked his lips.
"We will pay the bounty, but be warned your actions may come back to haunt you." The young female lantern said before she typed something into a console. In an instant Lobo checked his holdings card and saw a massive deposit on it.
"Thanks for the pay day lady. Next time you have something like this happen just call me." Lobo said has he gunned the cycle again. This time he headed toward Earth. He thought of seeing Superman, but first he wanted get his prize some kick ass gear like his own.
(Juari Throne Room Tenchi's Universe)
Auzha looked on has his royal guards where being ripped apart and ate in front of him. He could stand back no longer and launched a large blast of power toward the 'Thing' before him. The blast hit the rock like creature and blasted part of its right side apart. The creature stumbled a little before the king struck it with his sword and caused its upper body to fall from the lower half.
"Take this creature and attempt to contact Miss Washu. Inform her that the king of Juari wants to know what this creature is, and how it ended up on our planet through one of her portals." The king said before he left. He looked down at his hand and brushed part of the rock like dust off of him. He then noticed that a small piece of the creature had actually managed to break the skin on his hand.
(DC Universe near Suicide Slums)
Ashley H Williams looked at Morgan has they moved through the city. He had come this way to see if anyone was still alive when they heard the sounds of screaming coming from above them. He looked back at her and shook his head.
"Well lady if trouble doesn't follow you then I'm a Japanese jet pilot." He said with his usual sense of humor. Walking forward he started his chain saw and stepped into the door of a run down apartment building. Morgan followed him up the stair well has they came toward a group of infected gang members ripping the clothes off of a girl and stepping around her.
"Face it Julie you where going to give it up to one of us anyway. Only now we want more than just your ass." The head gang member said.
"That's no way to talk to a lady." Ash said has he revved his chainsaw.
"Your right. Hold her and let's get him first!" The leader shouted.
The first one jumped toward him and Ash buried his chainsaw into its head. The effect split the infected gang member's head open.
"Oh looks like you have a splitting head ache." He said has he grabbed his famed boom stick and opened up on the others attempting to surround him. One of them tried to jump back only to have part of the buck shot blow his head off.
Morgan watched him for a moment before she raised her hands and the rest of the infected lifted their weapons and shoved them into their own heads.
"Has much as I enjoy watching your actions I believed we needed to end this now." She said looking at him.
"Granted I agree, but why help me?" He asked.
"I told you before I am your servant for has long as you live. I can't allow you to die until it is fated for you to die." She said nearly sounding depressed.
(Smallvillie)
Doomsday continued to tear up the small town until a large blast hit him in the back. He turned around to see not Superman, but Super girl standing there.
"Leave these people alone!" She shouted.
"Hungry!!!" Doomsday shouted back before jumping toward her.
Has Doomsday jumped toward her a large blast of energy hit him. Instead of landing on top of Super girl he landed inside of the rubble that once was a bar Lana owned.
"You're not going to hurt anyone else!" Goku shouted has he transformed into Super Sayian 3.
(Currently on return of the Cupboard)
(In the Fortress of Solitude)
Clark looked at both Lois and Martha Kent. He smiled at his son and then listened to the drones has they began to began to read out incoming information from the watchtower.
"Lois I have to go." Clark said has he held his beloved wife for a moment.
"Clark… I know the world needs Superman, but I need my husband and Kal needs a father. I'm not asking you stay here, but I am asking that you come back Clark." Lois said has she kissed him
"I will." He said before he shot toward Smallvillie.
(Nearing the Earth's solar system)
Lobo looked at the girl riding behind him and wondered exactly where a catch like her had come from. He had known several girls and never really planned on settling down, but she could be someone to break the boardom of everything for a while.
"So exactly what are you? I know that you're not something that can live in the vacuum of space, but I've never seen nothing like you out here before." Lobo said has they closed on in the Earth.
"I'm human actually. Before I explain very much what 'Earth' year is it?" she asked.
Lobo groaned and dug out a digital watch he had 'borrowed' from one of the criminals on Earth.
"According to this it's 2009. Why the question?" he asked.
"That explains most of it. Strange has it may sound I come from 2039. I was working for the Justice League of that time repairing a damaged Lex Corp communication satellite. The Satellite was sent this far into the space because of some old battle between Superman and a creature called Doomsday. I remember being told that it was an early detection system for Lex Luthor. Anyway the League wanted it up and running again because of some connection it had with another criminal called Brainiac. So I was minding my own business when all of the sudden a huge bright light surrounded the satellite. An instant later the satellite was destroyed and those three things where there." The girl said.
"Alright I'll buy that. It kind of makes sense I guess, but why do you look like a fraggin cat?" Lobo asked.
"I was a splicer. I had my genes spliced with tiger and house cat DNA I did it at first for a boy friend who was big into the whole cat girl hentai thing, but I kept doing after he dumped me and became this. Later after I finished getting my engineering degree I went on to study several kinds of fighting. I guess that I wanted to prove that I didn't need anyone. Well one thing lead to another I was going out at night playing hero, and that's when Princess Diana found out about me and asked me become a junior member of the Justice League." She said before she looked at Lobo who was almost snoring.
"Where you even listening?!" she asked.
"Yeah, but I really didn't care to hear about those geeks. I've messed with them enough to know that not one of 'em holds a light to the Main Man except for Superman.." Lobo said has they neared the earth and came down near Gotham.
(Near the destroyed Lex Luthor communications satellite.)
Terry McGinnis looked around at his surroundings and noticed nothing near him. He could remember being aboard the Watchtower 3 when Chetra was repairing the old advanced warning satellite and suddenly a bright flash engulfed the entire right side of the Justice League satellite. He groaned and looked around at the damaged part of the satellite he was in and did a mental head count.
"Alright I know that Chetra is here, and I see Nightstar over there. I know that I did see Superman, but he went back to the original watchtower. Slowly the 'current' Batman wondered toward Nightstar and tapped her on the shoulder. She raised up and looked him in the eyes.
"Tell me Batman why did you wake me from my shlorvak? It was very nice and I was feeling peaceful. Why is it so cold in here?" She asked.
"I woke you because something has happened to Watchtower 3. Over half of it is gone and I am not sure what happened." He said has he connected the emergency back up power to a working computer terminal.
"Computer what happened to Watchtower 3?" He asked.
"Watchtower 3 struck by charged tackion beam. The beam was launched by the current Toy maker from his Lego designed battleship." The computer answered and then showed the blast hitting them.
"Computer didn't this happen to Superman at one time?" He asked.
"Yes the Toy maker alive in 2000 blasted Superman with a charged tackion beam that launched Superman into a future where he was believed to be dead. He noted that the time of his arrival in the new time was around 2109." The computer stated.
"Did the beam send us to the future?" McGinnis asked almost hoping that it did. After all he could find a way of returning to the past in the future he believed.
"Connecting with closest Wayne Tech Satellite. Please stand by." The computer said has it attempted to connect.
"Closest Wayne Tech satellite found. Connection secured. Current year is 2009." The computer stated.
"That's not possible. I mean I'm not even born yet." Nightstar said has she begun to freak out.
"It is possible. This sucks hard. That means that the old man is the current Batman. It also means that something else is wrong." He said looking at her.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"The old man told me that when the Justice League picked up something strange they would go and check it out. If they aren't checking it out then something has all of them too busy. I don't like the idea, but we need to head toward Earth." He said has they began to leave the room. He stopped her and pulled up a map of the stable rooms and docking stations on the satellite.
"Docking station 3 is in good shape and the Batmobile is in there." He said has they moved toward the Docking station. Once they where in the bottom a strange sound began to come from outside. It was sounding like something was banging against the closed doors and what ever it was wasn't going to stop until it came through.
"Get in now." He said opening the Batmobile's hatch. Both of them entered into the sleek machine before the door gave way and behind them was a large creature wearing two power rings. The creature roared and screamed about being hungry. Before it could jump at them McGinnis gunned the Batmobile in reverse and let the computer set a coarse for the Batcave.
"What was that?" Nightstar asked.
"I don't know, but I hope no one else was in the Watchtower." McGinnis answered has the Batmobile shot toward the earth.
(Inside the Watchtower 3)
Aquagirl walked out of her room confused. She had seen the bright light hit the watchtower and now her computer was non-responsive.
"Batman, Chetra, Nightstar, Superman, Lantern?" she asked the night around her.
"Is anyone here?" She asked again and this time a powerful force blasting through the door in front of her answered her. The creature looked like something from a horror movie. Its face was scarred has though most of the skin had been removed. She noticed that the eyes appeared dead and its teeth where misshapen and broken.
"Come here girl and I will end it quick. Fight and I will rip you apart a piece at a time." It said.
"No!" she screamed has she run toward the bridge and hit the emergency lock down switch. She dove into the bridge has the blast doors lowered and locked into place.
"These won't hold me out long!" It screamed has she heard the super steel bending and then breaking all together.
"It doesn't have to." She said has she grabbed a containment blaster from under the console that Lantern usually sat at. She smiled remembering how he told her that this containment blaster would entrap any being with a power ring. It had been designed by the guardians and used on Sinestro himself. She waited and the moment he came through the last blast door she fired. She watched has the energy cell around him encased him.
"That should hold you." She said has she connected the emergency power and opened a channel with Watchtower 1.
"Watchtower 1 this is Watchtower 3. I have trapped a disturbed Green Lantern with the energy cell containment blaster. Requesting backup." She said.
"This is Watchtower and who the hell are you?" a female voice said over the line.
"I am Aquagirl granddaughter to the King of Alantis. Who is this?" She asked.
"I am the lady Maxima ruler of not only my world, but several others. I have aided the Earth heroes for a time while I search for one worthy to be my king." She said with distaste of being addressed by royalty.
"That's impossible… Lady Maxima left the Earth solar system in 2012. She found her worthy partner in the Atom." Aquagirl said.
"That is untrue and outlandish. I have seen the Atom, but I believe he is less than worthy." Maxima said before she hit a button on the communicator. In a few seconds the message shows that the girl is telling the truth. She is talking from a satellite called Watchtower 3.
"If you are Maxima, then the Toymaker sent us back in time. Great…" Aquagirl said before she heard the energy cell beginning to crack.
"Look I need help now. This Lantern is going to break out and when he does he will come that way." She said.
"I will send someone when I can, but we have our own problems. A virus has spread through the Earth and it is spreading out through the Universe. I fear most who come into contact with it will change into something below subhuman." Maxima said
Aquagirl looked behind her to see the cell break and the creature run toward her. She screamed and jumped out of the way. The creature caught her and then lifted the microphone.
"Like she said I'll be heading your way." It said has a grin appeared on its face.
"Unlike the others I am smart enough to know that I need to keep you alive long enough to ensure my hunger doesn't get the best of me." It said has it created a bubble around them both and took off into space.
Once it was outside of the satellite it changed the bubble into a room. She noticed that there was a lab table and several saws and scalpels.
"Get on the table and I will keep you alive. Don't and you won't be so lucky." It said.
She began to cry and crawled on the table. The moment she did he hit her knocking her out.
"Sorry, but I don't want you to freak out when I do this." He said has he took a saw and cut her right hand off. Using the other power ring he closed the wound and began to eat.
(Earth Gotham City)
Lobo looked at the streets and let out a long whistle.
"Looks like someone greased these geeks." He said has he noticed the streets littered with dead bodies.
"What happened?" Chetar asked.
"My Guess a virus. I do have some experience with viruses." Lobo said has he walked over toward a shop and reached inside. He pulled out a skin tight black leather outfit.
"Any girl riding with me is going to dress the part. Put that on, and let's see what has happened over at the cop station." He said has they made their way toward the Gotham Police department.
(Batcave)
McGinnis looked around in disbelief. The cave looked like the one he came from, but the old Batmobile was here. Not only that but he saw Tim Drake dressed up has Robin and pushing buttons at the computer.
"Where's the old man?" He asked before even thinking about it.
Tim turned around and saw a man dressed like Batman and a girl that looked kind of like Starfire.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Robin asked.
"Oh yeah I figured I would be talking about this. Look that computer does have USB connections right?" he asked.
"Yeah…" Robin answered.
"Take this player and hook it in. Trust me it will explain everything." McGinnis said.
Robin looked at him in disbelief but did what was asked. In a few seconds the screen played back everything that happened.
"Ok I believe you, but you sure chose a bad time to come back. There is something out there that is turning people into flesh eating zombies. One of them bit Alfred, and it took me using everything in my ullity belt to catch the old man. He's over there in a stasis unit that was installed in here, but I don't know if there is any kind of a cure yet." Robin said has he looked at the new Batman.
