Juna faded into blackness. She cried. She had fallen.

She had failed.

"Juna," A voice whispered.

"What?" Juna realized that a light was growing; she opened her eyes and saw a familiar face.

"Madeline?"

"In a sense yes," The woman gave a soft smile.

Madeline was taller than Juna by a few feet; she had beautiful olive skin and chocolate brown eyes. Her hair fell down her back in loose curls. Luscious and beautiful as a goddess would be. Her lips were a full cherry red and beautiful curling tattoos framed her face and down her neck. She wore a strapless blue leotard with white tights. While the leotard was a light pastel blue, her cloak that floated gently behind her was a dark midnight blue. White jeweled bracelets adorned her arms and ankles. Unlike her persona in Juna's world, she wore no cowl, instead allowing her beauty to shine. She was absolutely stunning. An aura of power and energy waved off of her tenfold, shocking Juna.

"Who are you?" She asked, she wasn't stupid, she wasn't Madeline.

"I am Seer. That is my true name. Madeline was simply an alias," Seer spoke softly; "I am here to confirm what you already know."

With a sigh and foreboding sense of fate laughing at her, Juna looked down. The damage was done and she was gone, the world destroyed.

"You are not dead, do not think you are." Seer's voice was wonderful, rich and soft like melted chocolate.

"Then where am I?"

"I saved you from death. To help you," Seer explained, "I do not have much time so I will only tell you what is necessary."

"Tell me," Juna begged, hopeful she could still stop the apocalypse, "Please!"

"What ShadowMist said was true, we did ask for her to be our hero in her realm. We, the Guardians, Gods, Deities, we have lived a millennium and had grown careless over time watching the realms. Chaos however had grown strong over it. He tried to kill us all," Seer explained sadly.

Juna saw images appear of a monstrous black force wrecking a world. It was large, intimidating and even as an image, struck fear into Juna. She knew that she was seeing Chaos rising.

"We managed to barely overcome his power and seal him between the realms. We decided that the realms had to be separate and we kept a casual eye over the worlds allowing the inhabitants to go on as they pleased. ShadowMist came almost 500 years ago. A young brash woman unlike yourself. She was impulsive, wild and defiant. Qualities that made her a hero. Chaos escaped the bindings that had held him for billions of years to wreak havoc on the world. He had taken a human form and through a binding contract between all gods we could not return to your realm without taking a human host."

Juna gasped, seeing the story unfold. Chaos was reduced to nothing but smoke and fog, trapped behind golden bars. She saw the Gods guard each realm from crossing over, their forms inhuman and only a blinding energy field to a human eye. She watched as Chaos bided his time and broke his cage, fleeing the Gods' dimension and taking a human host by force. He only needed a seed of doubt to possess the poor man. She then saw ShadowMist as a young woman with no scars, playing in fields and dancing in towns. She knew that this was the ShadowMist before she became evil.

"We set out to gift an extraordinary human with a partial sliver of our energy that would manifest as abilities able to trap Chaos once again. We chose ShadowMist. As she told you, she defeated Chaos. However it wasn't without a cost. Through her violent abilities she drove her own family, friends and love away from her. She begged to us to bring them back but we could not force them. Humanity was free to do as they pleased and we were not their masters to order around. She of course blamed us for her loss of a future and stripped her powers."

Juna's eyes watered at the horrific scenes played out. First was ShadowMist accepting her gifts from the Gods and defeating Chaos. As she did however, people were terrified of her display of power and began to hate her. They hunted her like a dog, trying to kill her. She pleaded to the gods as she killed to defend herself. The Gods refused, leaving her bare at the mercy of the violent mobs.

"Heroes do not kill. Heroes do not destroy homes. That is why we stripped her powers. Not because we refused to make someone love her. She of course craved her power and performed a ritual to get her powers back. Chaos helped her, by whispering his plans and creating a false hope of beauty for her. She fell quickly and set out to destroy the realms and break Chaos free. We recruited you and Delaney to stop her."

"Why me?" Juna asked.

Images of ShadowMist appeared, performing a dark ritual of blood and sacrifice. With anger and hate she grew strong. Chaos was seen whispering poisonous thoughts in her ear and ShadowMist wiped away her entire home. With a rush of power and Chaos's praise, ShadowMist grew more powerful. Eventually, the meteorite crashed into Juna and Delaney, them being questioned and graced with incredible powers.

"We saw a strength and goodness in you, none that had ever been seen. As for Delaney she understood balance and held a silent but powerful view of the world. Combined, we were sure you would never turn like ShadowMist. We had given you something extra that ShadowMist didn't. We gave you a direct connection to the Godslight, to our energy and power, our very life force and the barriers between realms."

Juna watched with wide eyes as something flared within herself, a fire that burned and an energy that was untapped. Something stronger than her telekinesis or teleporting. More unique and defining then her telepathy with Delaney.

"Delaney was chosen to be the lock, you the door. Overtime we underestimated your power, realizing that you would let the Godslight flood you. That is why, against all decrees of the Gods, I came. It was only to guide you. I could not imprison ShadowMist myself, not without losing my right as a Guardian of the realms. I came and crafted a human form, something only a few Guardians know how to perform and accompanied you. I saw that you had tapped into the Godslight and had let energy seep into the realm, gifting other individuals. I gathered them, forced you together in hopes that ShadowMist would be defeated."

Clips of Bruce, Clary and Sam escaping the labs appeared as Mistress was shown, changing her mind, Juna saw how a light was lit in Cody and Darin's eyes as they became a group of heroes. Juna smiled at how Seer had manipulated their meeting.

"Kid Flash, Wally was unexpected. We realized the barriers were incredibly weak. That is why I could not come to you before. I returned to help keep the lock against Chaos. You and your new friends, forced to battle ShadowMist. You Juna, your blood and your soul is what is left of the lock keeping Chaos from being free. With your death, ShadowMist will win, Chaos will rule and all will be lost."

"How do I stop it?" Juna asked, waving away the images of a grim future.

"You must open the door and trap ShadowMist, using your own energy, however…" Seer trailed off.

"However what?"

"There is no guarantee that it will work. No human has ever held the Godslight like you do. Let alone control it. You may entrap ShadowMist but you may also free Chaos."

Pictures appeared of Juna falling in blood and ShadowMist's laughter ringing. Sounds of the Justice League, the Team and her own group of heroes screaming and falling under Chaos's assault pierced Juna's eyes. Juna saw and understood.

It did not matter.

She had been asked to protect the realms, she had been tasked to imprison ShadowMist, she had promised to fight for those who couldn't.

Juna stood up and looked directly into Seer's eyes. She spoke deliberately and slowly. She enunciated every word harshly and felt a power in herself grow.

"Send me back. It's time to end this."

Tada! ShadowMist is born! Also the reason why Juna was picked and how she has so much power! Chaos is introduced as well! What do you think? Ass hole Guardians? Sympathetic to ShadowMist's past? How was it seeing how the group was manipulated to meet? Review and Speculate!
