Should Shikamaru be helping the others dealing with the Injustice League?
Maybe.
Sure, they are dealing with a league that is comprised of villains… whom are probably being led by another ultra-secret group. The Justice League are there helping them deal with them. Plus, if things are taking a turn for the worse, Lee is there. The green clad hero/shinobi has no qualms… in taking care of things if things get too out of hand. Right now, Shikamaru's priority is figuring out if there's another unfortunate schmuck who ended up in this wayward world. Of course, there's a possibility it could be someone who wants him dead, along with everyone else in this world. Or it could be someone he knows that doesn't want him dead and could go along with the Justice League.
Either way, long as whoever ends ups here, could find a way to stay under the radar and help to get them all back home.
Shikamaru pulled back the sleeve of his jacket to look at his wristwatch computer. By the looks of it… he's near where the energy source first started. Looking around, to see he found himself near the edge of a forest and is near of a cliff. Looking around, he couldn't find or sense anything off. Walking further towards the cliff, he began to wonder if some other group picked up the unknown.
Oh, that would not be good. Not go-
Shikamaru blinked when he felt a sudden surge of chakra before it quickly it quickly goes away. He couldn't help but grin, it looks like he found his target.
-.-
Shikamaru doesn't know if he should be more worried at the fact, he's seeing someone filing down their teeth or the fact there are several individuals clearly from Cadmus, pretty much strewn around… dead. Fully dead by the looks of it. Eyes scrunching up in an attempt to see who exactly is filling down their teeth, and a slight realization began to hit him. "Chojuro?"
"Huh?" Chojuro turned around, metal file in hand raised defensively in front of him. His clothes fit loosely on him and looked more… childish than the last time he had seen him. He looks younger, older than Shikamaru and Lee, but far younger than he was before. "Do I know you?"
"Nara, Nara Shikamaru." Shikamaru responded.
"…So, this isn't some messed up dream?"
"Nope. Not by a long shot."
-.-
Green Beast knew he's not supposed to kill anyone, against the rules of the Team. Against the rules of the Justice League. Something he fully understands but couldn't fully comprehend. These individuals are clearly not holding back their own intent on killing them, by a long shot. Which could explain why the Injustice League made it a point to separate him from the others when Miss Martian's ship went down.
More so that they are keen in keeping him alive unlike the others… more so in said individuals look like the same men Green Beast attempted to get in contact with the others, but it looks like their comms are down and he'll have to play things by ear at this point. Jumping up towards the treetops to get a better vantage point, he saw a glass building with a massive… tree thing growing out of it. He grinned at the sight, that's the target!
"He's in the tree's get him!"
Green Beast's face scrunched up at the sight of the individuals, he knew if he gets close to the others, they'll back off. They said so themselves. The last thing they needed is for the possibility of the others to make some sort of connection between Cadmus and the Injustice League. Nodding to himself, determination filled within him. He needed to get there soon as possible. Who knows how are for the others!
-.-
"Plan B."
Green Beast made it just in time to see his teammates were being electrocuted by the man floating in the sky. Then seeing Aqualad putting on the Helmet of Fate. That is note good! Kid Flash nearly was trapped in that horrid thing months ago! Now seeing Aqualad putting it one, brought back those memories. If the Atlantean risked putting the helmet on, it meant things were dire.
Green Beast didn't waste any more time in running towards the others, to help them against the enemy. He did take note how his pursuers stopped trying to follow him at that point.
"Wonderboy, you are mine!" Joker threatened Robin, pulling out a knife from his person. Robin eyes widened as Joker began to laugh and proceeded to lunge at him with the knife. It wasn't easy for Robin, as he still felt disoriented due to Count Vertigo's constant attacks. "Always wanted to carve this bird…"
"Now, that isn't very nice to say!" Green Beast called out, appearing just in time to kick Joker away from Robin. Causing the clown to slam against a tree, letting out a pained wheeze. "Mr. Clown Man!"
"It's… Joker!" Joker managed to wheeze out, before he lunged towards Green Beast. To only get kicked back towards the same tree once more.
"Of course, it is, Mr. Joke!"
"It's Joker!"
-.-
Shikamaru typed away on the holographic computer in the Mission Room. He had just arrived with Chojuro and took the older teen to his assigned room to wash up and get some rest. While he figures out what's been going on with the Team and League. This resulted with him catching the tail end of both teams defeating the Injustice League and watching Doctor Fate revert to Kaldur, after removing the helmet. That's going to be a hell of a story. That's for sure.
He'll have to get Kaldur to tell him about his time as Doctor Fate. Magic is an unknown… and it intrigues him.
A sharp ping from the computer had Shikamaru reach over to press a button and a screen popped up to reveal Batman. "Insight."
"Did you find what you were looking for?"
"Besides finding out that the Injustice League has connections to Cadmus… things went well." Shikamaru responded with a yawn, ignoring Batman's pointed glare. "I found someone else from my world. He's in my room, and probably having a breakdown. I'd put off interrogating him."
"And old friend of yours?"
"Not an exact friend. More of a comrade in arms… Just don't try to spook him."
-.-
Chojuro doesn't know what to think what had happened to him. He knows he's in good hands considering that it was Shikamaru Nara was the one that found him. He has heard the stories and knows the guy has as high standing considering the Nara was appointed as a Proxy Commander. Even if he looks young at the moment… well, they all look young when he spoke to Gaara. The memory sent a chill done his spine.
"Hey, Chojuro. Ready to meet everyone?" Shikamaru asked from the other side of the door. "Batman is being troublesome about meeting you."
Chojuro fiddled with his glasses, nerves getting the better of him. He clothes feel loose on him but from Shikamaru had mentioned before, at least he didn't shrink down massively that his clothes no longer fit him properly. Placing Hiramekarei on his back and proceeded to leave the room. He saw Shikamaru standing by the door, waiting for him. "What should I be expecting?"
"A test of power. See if you're not going to kill any of them. The usual."
"… the usual usually involves an interrogation, blood and possible death."
"Well…"
-.-
"Chojuro's part of the Daimyo Protection Squad and the Fifth Mizukage's bodyguard. It's rumored that he's the one of the best swordsmen Kiri has seen since the previous generation of the Seven Swordsmen." Shikamaru explained as much as he could on Chojuro to Batman, Superman and Black Canary as they watched Chojuro fight against Kaldur. The rest of the Team watched on, with Lee providing information when needed. "He hails from Kiri… a village surrounded by thick mist and a bloody history. Dubbing it the Village of the Bloody Mist."
Superman and Black Canary glanced at each other; worry seemed to fill within them before they looked over at Batman to see him keeping a close eye on Chojuro.
"Bloody?" Superman cleared his throat questioningly.
"From what I've heard and been told, to be promoted to Genin, the Genin hopefuls were pitted one against each other. Whoever lives, get's the ranking." Shikamaru shrugged, not bothering to acknowledge how Superman flinched or how Batman started to glower at Chojuro. "Luckily, that practice was wiped away years ago when one kid killed his entire class which ended that practice rather quickly."
"What exactly is that on his back?" Batman questioned, eyes narrowing on said item Chojuro started to reach for.
"That? From what I know, it's called Hiramekarei. Twinsword… or was it, Great Twin Blades?" Shikamaru grumbled to himself, racking up his brain to see if he got his info right. "What a drag… I was told that it's capable of storing chakra and with a single command, he could do that!"
Shikamaru didn't hesitate to use his shadow to help Kaldur get away when Chojuro called out, "Hiramekarei Unleashing" and the chakra enveloped the weapon into the shape of a massive hammer. Chojuro missed his target but was unable to fully stop and slammed Hiramekarei down, smashing down onto the floor. It caused a massive tremor and the floor where it was hit, is damaged.
"Oops…" Chojuro couldn't help but laugh nervously at the sight of the damage he had just created. "It looks like I need to train on my control again… heheh…heh."
Chojuro looked around to see Kaldur is a good distance away from him, expression filled with surprise. "Sorry. I got carried away."
"Carried away!" Kid Flash called out, waving his good hand around. His other hand was in a cast. "You almost killed him!"
"Keyword! Almost!"
TBC.
