The week was evil and the dried up reviews sort of...ailed me. Then I had my father's birthday to celebrate. But, this chapter will help me ensure that a certain character is seen for his power.

Best: I'll be getting back to Dick, but Wally has his story line coming up, in the current timeline that will give him a new status quo and set up the Phantom Stranger scene from earlier

61394: You have a point

Timewalker: Thanks.

Recap

"This is a, its all your fault moment, isn't it" Vandal deadpanned.

"What is it you speak of?" Thor demanded in confusion "Why do you hold that Neanderthal in a manner in which you plan to slay him?"

"I am not a Neanderthal"

"Whatever race of human had the misfortune of spawning this freak, he's the leader of The Light! He ruined everything, and created this mess!" Robin demanded "If the overgrown tiger..."

"HEY! I AM NOT AT THE MOMENT!" he was actually a giant bug now, with translucent green rings, a sharp tail and four eye stocks.

"..or whatever is thinks we're responsible for this, why is he still alive!"

"Because, Dick Grayson, I didn't vanish. I stayed to fight. I admit my mistakes, my poor choices, my extreme actions, my faults, and have tried to make amends for them. Have you come to accept your problems?"

"Your problems can be discussed later...the Rot's ally is here" Red Torpedo said in a voice that felt familiar to Robin as a fleet of something came from above.

A huge army of robots, most gold and smaller than a single, metallic colored robot with its visor eyes and face area glowing red.

"Ultron" The one formerly called Ben growled as rot monsters began pouring up behind them.

"Termination of all organic life, 99.99% complete. Process to be finalized"

End Recap

Space, Sector 665

Space Sector 666 was a lifeless place, decimated by the Manhunters, the predecessors to the Green Lanterns.

It was once home to a dark empire, but now it was home to nothing at all. And thus, on the very edge of one of the nearby sectors, came a being who could change that.

If Being was a correct word, that is. It was a huge mass of energy, fiery and shaped like a bird.

The Phoenix Force, the embodiment of life and death, was going to repair the Guardian's work...

ZZMMMMM

A blue blast of energy slammed straight into the energy being, causing it to dissipate and reform a few space yards back.

Icon flew up, his hand glowing from his energy blast, as other came up all around the powerful force. With him were 20 Green Lanterns, the only non alien being Hal Jordan, Superman, Captain Atom, Black Adam, Zatara, Wotan and a trio of minions of mutagen origin that hadn't made an plot contribution yet.

The father of two other mutated minions who had been affected at the same time due to an explosion in a Polish area of Buffalo in up state New York , a white haired man in dark purple armor named Magneto.

A red version of the Hulk, but under the control of the Light.

A man with long blond hair with a yellowish Superman rip off costume, called the Sentry.

And leading them, was Klarion, with teekl who was put in a magic bubble by Wizard, who was there for only that purpose and that purpose only.

"Hello Phoenix Force...your coming with us"

Their impending ass kicking aside

While the army of the future mostly went to battle the armies of the Rot and the rest of the Ultron army, Dick's group, Thor and Vandal ended up fighting the head bot himself.

"PARCS TI" Zatanna cast as the robot briefly glowed, before the glow faded and the robot fired a laser blast at her.

Due to her training with Dick with gymnastics, plus the chip lend lease power trick, she managed to avoid getting fried

"I installed a magic firewall to my system not long after my first encounter with hero designation, Cyclops and hero designation, Ben 10. Such an attack was a poor use of your human RAM equivilant"

"I have no idea why thy speaks of goats, but I will not have it!" Thor yelled as he lunged at the robot, his hammer sparking. The hammer slammed into the robot's chest, which was not affected at all.

True, it did go back a few yards before the thrusters on its back put it back on track.

"This unit's metal structure was synthesized from the body of the hero Laura Logan, who had bones made of a powerful and nigh invulnerable metal. Your attacks can not damage my internal processor due to blunt trauma..."

He briefly stopped as Ororo blasted him with lightning.

"Or electricity. I, however..." Thor was blasted with a face full of laser. "Can"

"The joints...if my brothers transformer toys broke easily when he yanked on them, maybe this guy will too" Barbara whispered to Dick as Ororo the thief got blasted by Ultron's laser.

"You have a brother?" Dick didn't know that about Barbara.

"...There's a reason for that. The guy...isn't alright in the head." She said darkly as they gave a hand signal to Donna and Zatanna.

"Hcnual eht nozama llabnip!" Zatanna cast as Donna flew at the robot in a magic powered Manuever seven.

"You humans call machines repetitive" Ultron almost sighed as he fired a laser blast from his mouth at Donna, as a magical force field formed around her, repelling it.

Donna the Amazon pinball then smashed into Ultron, knocking him to the ground through force

"Yeah, you could call us pedetitve!" Dick and Barbara slammed two batarangs into both joints of his arms, right where the arm would bend.

Sparks exploded from those points as Ultron attempted to escape, flying up into the air, leaving his arms behind as Vandal lunged at him, a huge curved knife made of some sort of bone in his hands.

Ultron blasted him away as his body began to glow with a fiery energy as new metal arms began to grow.

"Fools, do you think that they haven't tried that!? I digitized the power of the Phoenix Force's second host. My circuitry is self repairing, my power core is infinite...I am immortal"

"Let me tell you something about immortality" Vandal said darkly as he stabbed the robot with his knife into one of his red eye like visors

"It, is greatly overrated"

Ultron didn't react to the manner most would if someone stabbed their eye out. He merely just grabbed Vandal's throat and yanked him out of his repairing automatically visor.

"A knife made from the bones of Wanda West nee Maximoff, a being whose magical energies would have caused my Phoenix Force Program to malfunction. However, I created a patch for that.

Vandal's body then was set afire with cosmic life and death fire.

"You are deleted" Ultron said darkly as he let go, to leave only ash.

"I thought Vandal Savage was immortal..." Dick said in horror. While he utterly loathed the guy, Batman had always taught him that killing was wrong.

And that killing immortals was not easy. Though that was just common sense.

"Sgnar' moaf erif on!" Zatanna cast as Dick and Barbara found themselves armed "Gib kcor!" and Donna with a really big rock.

"Drah thgil tih eht live tobor!" A blast of hard light flew from Zatanna, along with a lightning blast from Ororo, the bat normal's special bat and bird arangs and Donna's rather large rock.

A wall of that fire that Ultron had used to kill Vandal fired up, protecting him.

"You really expect that to have succeeded? My processors allow me to know what spells your casting and elements your firing before even you do. Now burn..."

"ONLY THY METAL MONSTROSITY SHALL BURN THIS NIGHT! TASTE MJOLNIR!" distracted by the other attacks, Ultron was not ready when Thor's hammer slammed through his body.

"Error...Error, Phoenix Force Program being harmed by unknown material. Hammer designation, Mjolnir absorbing away Phoenix Force Programming. Unit loosing power" Ultron's eyes dimmed as he crashed to the ground, deactivated.

However, the thing did have power cells that were not phoenix powered, and began to reactivate...

"OG YAWA!"

And promptly found himself in a little placed called Benin.

Back to reality

When the ever charming author commented about ass kicking...the nerd with the computer and no day job that didn't involve backpacks, text books and the occasional piece of gum on his chair didn't mean THEY would kick ass.

Oh no, not at all

"Klarion...Klarion report!" Vandal of the present demanded over a deep space communications frequency that was vaguely radio like.

Klarion, who was missing his legs and most of his lower torso (Slowly growing back via the power of the universe's chaos), managed to move his arm up to his com link on his ear.

"The capture...failed" Klarion moaned in agony.

"What?" Vandal said in shock. "But we sent a force that our scenarios have shown could conquer Hala!"

"The force we sent...it was completely curb stomped...we've lost Sentry, 16 of our Green Lanterns, Zatara 2, Captain Atom, Wizard and our Hulk. The rest...well they aren't going to be useful for a while...and I currently am half the person I was when I left. No chance you have spare legs anywhere?"

"Grr..." while they could get more Green Lanterns and clone another Zatara, Captain Atom's powers were now completely lost to them.

"Though I did manage to send the Phoenix Force to Earth and managed to put a spell on it to make it unable to destroy the planet"

"Now, all we have to do is find it"

The energy of the Phoenix Force emerged from one of Klarion's black and red portals and, dividing in two, and going to two completely different areas of the planet.

One to a Hospital in Mid State New York, where a local Honor Roll, Soccer star Red Haired female had just been orphaned due to a five car pile up, and wasn't doing that well herself.

Though just as the energy was entering her, her heart beat began to pick up and she stopped approaching flatline.

And another to a dark alley in England, where a plain and glass wearing brown haired girl was crying in an alleyway, a huge hand print on her cheek and her right eye glass broekn, who began to glow a fiery red.

The Nature of Universes

In the Multiverse, there exist two sorts of realities. One could further break them down, but the differences were like Amphibians, Reptiles and Mammals to the above's Plants and Animals.

In a majority of universes, such as the one you are reading now, the reality only takes after one version of an original world, found close to the core of the Omniverse. The reality may take some ques after additional versions of reality, but its predominately one, and every planet can be accessed.

But, in some realities, many of the concepts that in many would make up an entire universe, are confined to singular worlds. These worlds can't be visited, easily.

But all of them, share a singular danger.
