Welcome to chapter 3 of my Crisis and Ghost story. Hope you enjoy what's to come.
S.T.A.R Labs:
A rainbow light flashed and the group appeared back in front of Makoto, Alain and Kate. Takeru pressed the red button on the Eyecon Driver and reverted back to normal, Mia turned to look at Takeru then hugged him.
"Thank you, Takeru," Mia smiled, Takeru nodded then hugged Mia back. "I'm going, I need to be alone." Mia told everyone then she walked off to get some time to herself, Barry then walked off with Sara and Alain which left Makoto, Kate, Kara and Takeru in the Cortex.
"Takeru, Lyla stopped by and gave me these," Makoto spoke then handed Takeru three Eyecons which had the power of three past Kamen Riders: Wizard, Gaim and Drive. "She said that she was instructed by the Monitor to hand these to us." Takeru was confused why the Monitor would give him and Makoto the legend rider Eyecons.
"And also that she has got a Waverider for us to work from, it's from another Earth." Kate added, Kara and Takeru nodded then headed off to meet up with the others on the Waverider.
Earth-74 Waverider:
Once everyone was on board the Waverider, Alain started looking around with Makoto while Takeru went with Kate and Kara to bridge. At the front of the bridge stood the Monitor with Lyla, Ray, Barry, Clark and Lois who was holding baby Jonathan.
"Takeru, it's good to see you." Lois smiled as she walked over and hugged him, Takeru hugged her back when Clark walked over with a smile.
"I was hoping to meet again under better circumstances," Clark smiled and Takeru nodded, Kara was confused by the reunion. "Kara, me and Takeru teamed up a few times back home before me and Lois left for Argo." Clark explained, Kara nodded then shook Takeru's hand.
"Any friend of my cousin and his wife is a friend of mine." Kara spoke, Takeru nodded then the four joined the others in front of the Monitor.
"We've lost a great hero. You have all suffered a terrible loss but you have every reason not to lose hope," Monitor spoke as he took a step forward and looked at the people in front of him. "Seven, in fact. Across space and time exists seven heroes. Beings of the purest will who can ultimately who can defeat the Anti-Monitor and help save the Multiverse." The Monitor explained, the group were puzzled until Kate spoke up.
"And what are these beings called? You cosmic being types do like giving heroes names so what did you call them?" Kate asked, the others looked at the Monitor until he spoke.
"I've only recently discovered their existence: they are known as the Paragons." Monitor explained to the group. "I learnt after consulting the Book of Destiny." That news shocked Kara and Barry as they were there when Oliver destroyed it during Elseworlds.
"Do you know who these Paragons are?" Barry asked as he joined the line of heroes, Monitor looked down then looked back up at the group until someone spoke up from behind.
"If the book is as powerful as you say it is, can it bring back the other Earths? Or my Dad!" Everyone turned around to see Mia standing in the doorway with tears in her eyes.
"Using the book to bring back the Earths will result in them going mad," Monitor explained to Mia as he walked towards her. "As for your Father, he didn't die how I envisioned. I am sorry." Monitor apologised to Mia but then, a fist came from nowhere and punched the Monitor: it was Specter.
"I want a word with you and your god like friends; Harbinger and Pariah!" Specter shouted as he stepped in front of Mia. "Or should I say, we." Specter said then Alain walked in just as he transformed into Necrom.
"You caused Mia heartbreak! Her heart was crying as she lost her father just as she was getting to know him!" Alain shouted, the pair ran towards the Monitor and started fighting him.
"Stop!" Lyla shouted as she held her hand and blasted Necrom down the hall and he changed back to Alain. Takeru jumped and transformed into Ghost Ore Damashii as he tried to stop Makoto.
"Makoto, stop!" Takeru shouted, Makoto looked at Takeru then stepped back and the pair powered down. "Yes, he's used us but if we don't work together then everyone in every universe is dead and Anti-Monitor wins." Takeru explained to everyone, Mia walked off with Alain while Makoto stayed with the heroes and Takeru helped the Monitor back onto his feet.
"The Paragon of Humanity." The Monitor spoke as he looked at Takeru who was confused just as everyone else was. "Takeru Tenkuji: you have been helping people even when you were a ghost; helping them understand that life is more important than anything else." Monitor explained, Takeru looked at Makoto and he smiled.
"What about these other Paragons?" Kara asked, the Monitor turned and faced the other heroes. "Do you know who any are?" Monitor nodded as he took a step forward towards them.
"Kara Zor-El: despite all you have endured, you are the Paragon of Hope." The Monitor told Kara who looked at the ground and pushed up her glasses. Before Monitor could speak, everyone saw a white light glow behind the Monitor: it was coming from Takeru.
"Takeru, what's happening?" Makoto asked as he ran over to his friend, Barry ran over and helped the young hero over to the captain's chair and Takeru sat down.
"It felt like I could feel something growing inside me," Takeru explained then he looked up at Makoto. "I think the ultimate Eyecon is coming back." Takeru explained, Makoto's eyes widened but everyone was confused.
"What is this ultimate Eyecon?" Kate asked with her arms crossed, Makoto stood and faced the heroes.
"The Mugen Eyecon: it contains the power of all human emotions and they increase Takeru's power more than anything else." Makoto explained to everyone which surprised everyone. "What are about the other Paragons?" Makoto asked, Monitor looked at the heroes and spoke again.
"Sara Lance is the Paragon of Destiny but the others, I don't know their names but clues," Monitor explained to them. "One is a human who has not trusted anyone for a long time until something changed: the Paragon of Truth. As for the Paragon of Courage: the clue is the Bat of the Future." Monitor explained, Kate's eyes rolled then looked at the Monitor.
"Really? Bat of the Future?" Kate asked as she looked at her friend, Kara. "How many Earths are left for us to check?" Monitor looked at Kate then stepped towards her.
"Earth-99 where Bruce Wayne as dedicated himself, body and soul, to fighting crime." Monitor explained then Ray smiled and spoke.
"I'm sorry. Go back. Bruce Wayne is the Dark Knight?" Ray asked cheerfully, Kate walked over to the checkful scientist and looked at him.
"If we could keep that to ourselves, that'd be great." Kate told the scientist and Ray nodded, Kate then turned around and stood back next to Kara.
"The path to find Bruce Wayne will lead you to the Paragon of Courage." Monitor told them, Kate nodded then looked around the room.
"Okay, who wants to meet Batman?" Kate asked, everyone smiled then she and everyone else went to make sure they were ready.
1 hour later:
Kara was standing in front of the main computer console, she was checking which Earths were remaining then she checked Earth-38: it was just vanished. Kara was too busy looking at the computer that she didn't see or hear people walking up behind her.
"An entire universe wiped from existence distilled down to a computer graphic," Kara's eyes widened as she turned around to see Lex Luthor alive alongside the Monitor. Makoto had just walked in to check on the Kryptonian when he saw Lex and his fists tightened. "Gotta say, missing that wow factor." Lex smiled, Kara took her glasses off just as her eyes started glowing blue but the Monitor stepped in front of him.
"Everyone has a role to play, even Lex Luthor." Monitor explained to Kara, the news made Kara angry but then they were surprised by Specter jumping over and tackling Lex onto the ground.
"Why are you here?" Specter shouted but Lex didn't answer, he just smiled which made Specter so angry that he changed into Deep Specter. "Someone as evil and heartless isn't needed to save the Multiverse!" Makoto screamed, the Deep Specter Eyecon was glowing with energy and it was too powerful for even the Monitor to handle.
"Specter, calm down else you'll blow up!" Monitor shouted but Deep Specter didn't listen, Makoto was about hit Lex with his Omega Drive but then a golden fist punched Makoto away and caused him to power down and Kate removed the Deep Specter from his person: the fist belonged to Kamen Rider Ghost's Grateful Damashii form.
"Thank you for the save," Lex smiled, Takeru powered down from his Grateful form then looked at Lex. "It's you. Can I meet someone for once who doesn't hate my guts?" Lex asked as he got off the floor and dusted down his suit.
"I came here to speak to the Monitor," Takeru told Lex then he looked at the cosmic being. "I think we've found our Paragon of Truth." Takeru told the Monitor then Takeru noticed Kara.
"Don't know us in suspense, who is it?" Kara asked, Takeru turned around and out from a corner stepped someone that surprised Kara: it was Lena. Before Lena could say anything, Kara walked off and pasted Kate who had just entered the room. Lex was about to speak to his sister but Lena had other things in mind such punching her brother to the floor.
"Don't talk to me unless it has something with saving the Multiverse." Lena told her brother then walked off to find the lab to start researching.
Kitchen:
Kara was in the kitchen sitting in a chair as she was thinking about everything now as she just found out the Paragon of Truth was the one person that hated her. Kate then walked in and sat next to Kara who had just removed her glasses, she was rubbing her eyes as she was now started crying.
"Is she someone I need to sort out for you?" Kate asked, Kara shook her head as she put back on her glasses.
"No. That's Lena Luthor; my ex-best friend." Kara started explaining, she looked up at Kate then handed her a photo of her and Lena together. "We were best friends until Lex told her my secret. I was hiding it from her to protect her but I also doing it because around Lena, I could be Kara Danvers: a human being on Earth while working for a news company. But now, that's all gone." Kara was upset so Kate placed a hand on top of Kara's and smiled.
"Kara, if I know one thing about you, it's that you never give up hope." Kate encouraged her friend, Kara looked up at Kate and smiled a little. "Anyway, that chlome dome is a jerk." Kate smiled and Kara nodded, they heard footsteps and when they looked, they saw Makoto walking towards them.
"Sorry for earlier; Lex gets under my skin after when me and Clark last worked together," Makoto told them, Kate nodded then handed back his Deep Specter Eyecon. "What are you two doing?" Makoto asked, Kate and Kara nodded at each other then Kate looked at Makoto.
"We're going to Earth-99 to get Bruce," Kate explained, Makoto nodded then he felt a sharp pain in my chest. "You get some rest, we'll get Alain to come with us." Kate told him, Makoto nodded then he got up and took out a gold and black Eyecon then placed it on the table.
"When you see Alain, can you give that to him?" Makoto asked with a smile, Kara smiled and nodded as she picked up the Eyecon. Makoto then walked off just as Kara and Kate stood up to get Alain and leave for Earth-99.
Earth-99, Gotham:
A blue portal opened and out walked, Kate, Kara and Alain, they looked in front of them to see a house covered in vines and plants. Alain placed his Mega Urlorder on his waist and it started scanning while the three started walking towards the manor.
"The Paragon of Courage is apparently afraid of yard work?" Kara asked as she looked around while Alain checked his Mega Urlorder for anything out of the ordinary.
"Better let me do the talking." Kate told them as they approached the front door, Alain and Kara both nodded then Kate started knocking on the door. There was no reply until the door opened to reveal a black man with his shirt open and short dark hair.
"Do I know you?" The man asked, Kate looked at the figure while Kara tried not to blush as she could see the man's six pack and Alain was leaning up against the side of the building.
"No but I know a version of you," Kate answered, the man then shook his head. "I'm Kate Kane; Bruce's cousin." The man shook his head then took a step back.
"Yeah…. No." The man said then he closed the door on them, Alain stepped forward and took out an all white Eyecon and activated it then inserted it into the Mega Urlorder.
"Yes Sir!" Alain span the Urlorder and pressed the green button on the side then quickly tapped a green button on the top. "Tengan: Sanzo! Mega Urlord! Sai~yũ Ro~ad!" Alain had transformed into Kamen Rider Necrom Sanzo Damashii, he stepped in front of the ladies and placed his hands together.
"We've got no time for this!" Alain shouted, Kate and Kara stepped back in time for Alain to place his hands on the door and they flew off their heiges.
"Very nice." Kara complimented, Alain nodded and just as they entered the building, the man was standing at the end of the hall with a gun pointed at them.
"You need to leave…. Now!" The man shouted, Alain shook his head then used some kind of power to turn the man's gun into a bouquet of roses.
"Don't be so rude, Luke!" A voice shouted, everyone looked up the stairs as they heard a machine moving. "You'll have to forgive him. We're not used to having guests." The voice explained as he got to the ground floor, it was an eldery man who was using an exoskeleton to help him move. He turned around to look at their guests but one of his guests made the eldery man's eyes widen as if he saw a ghost. "Kate?" The man asked, Kate stepped forward just as Alain powered down and placed the Sanzo Eyecon back into his pocket.
"Bruce?" Kate asked as she looked at the man who he thought was her cousin and in matter of fact, it was.
Meanwhile:
Back on the Waverider, Barry and Mia were trying to convince John Constantine to get him to locate a Lazarus Pit but he was trying to convince not to. Makoto walked in and that was when the argument stopped.
"What's going on here?" Makoto asked, everyone looked at him until Makoto walked over to Mia and looked at her. "Mia, what's wrong?" Makoto asked, Mia looked up at Specter like he was her big brother.
"Constantine won't look for a Lazarus Pit so I can bring back my Dad." Mia explained, Makoto sat down in a nearby chair then looked at Mia then at Barry. Before Makoto could say anything, John had already performed the spell and had revealed to them the location of a working Lazarus Pit.
"There is your needle in the celestial haystack," John told them, Barry and Mia then walked off which left Makoto, Sara and John in the library. "Not even a thank you? How ungrateful." John said as he lit a cigarette and started smoking, Makoto stood up and walked over to Constantine.
"I'm coming with you," Makoto told him, John was about to suggest not but stopped when Makoto held up the Deep Specter Eyecon. "You can try and stop me. I'm coming along to protect the people Oliver asked me to protect." Makoto told the sorcerer, John nodded then the pair walked off to catch up with Barry and Mia and to revive Oliver.
Earth-99:
Back in Gotham, Alain and Kara had gone with Luke Fox to look around until they arrived in what looked like a trophy room. Kara flicked through some pages in a book while Alain stood by Luke who was standing in the doorway.
"How did you two say you know Kate?" Luke asked, Kara turned and looked at Luke while Alain walked away and started looking through a nearby book.
"We didn't," Kara answered as she moved her glasses up her nose. "We're still sort of getting to know each other." Kara told Luke, she turned to her left and saw a glass cabinet with a bunch of stuff inside it.
"They're mementos of Batman's greatest victories." Luke explained, Kara looked through them all until her eyes froze on to one memento or trophy in particular. "Those belonged to the alter ego of Superman, it's because of him that Bruce is in that exoskeleton." Luke explained, the news shocked Alain and Kara which made them realise that Bruce Wayne couldn't be trusted.
Earth-18, North Dakota:
Barry, Mia, John, Sara and Makoto had arrived at the location of the Lazarus Pit. John checked to see if the water was clean to use then he and Barry went to get Oliver while Makoto stayed with Sara and Mia to tidy it up.
"Are you want to do this?" Sara asked Mia as she picked up a plank of wood and tossed it to the side then she turned around and looked at Sara.
"More than anything," Mia answered, Makoto walked over to Mia and placed both hands on her shoulders. "If you don't want to help, then you know what to do." Mia told the pair of them then pushed Makoto's hands off her.
"Just like your father, wouldn't take no for an answer either," Sara smiled, Mia and Makoto smiled back then they got back tidying up. Mia was about to speak when a figure with a cowboy walked in and was about to shoot Mia. "Down!" Sara shouted, Mia ducked in time for Makoto to kick the figure.
"You get everything ready, I'll handle this!" Makoto told them as he took out his Deep Specter Eyecon and activated it but it glowed brighter than usual, he then threw it into his Driver then quickly transformed.
"Gen Kaigan: Deep Specter! Get, Go! Kakugo! Giza Giza Ghost!" Makoto, now as Deep Specter, started fighting the unknown figure but what no one noticed was that the Deep Specter Eyecon was glowing more brighter than before which was also increasing its power.
"This mine is ours!" Makoto shouted as he tossed the cowboy into a wall, the man tossed his knife only for Makoto to throw his DeepSlasher and smack the knife away. "No one harms my friends until they want to disappear from existence!" Makoto shouted as he jumped and kicked the man in the chest.
"Like hell I'm letting a freak and two ladies have this mine!" The man shouted, Makoto placed his hand on the handle and was about to pull it but he knew if he did, he wouldn't as better than the people he had fought against.
"One last chance: leave by yourself or I'll make you leave." Makoto warned as he pointed the DeepSlasher, in gun mode, at the unfriendly cowboy but the guest wouldn't leave. "How about show you how much my gun has?" Makoto offered, he fired a blast as the wall behind him which caused the rocks to turn into sand.
"The mine's yours! It's yours!" The man shouted, Sara and Mia were impressed then they were surprised when Makoto kicked the man out the cave.
"Couldn't help yourself, could you?" Mia asked as she patted Makoto on the shoulder. The Rider chuckled as he removed his Eyecon and powered down. A portal opened and out walked Barry and John with Oliver in Barry's arms.
"Let's do this then." Sara told them then they continued with their plan to bring back Oliver with his soul intact.
"Hand him to me," Makoto told them which surprised them all. "We don't have time to make a gurney so I'll lower him in." Makoto told them as he transformed into his Specter form, Barry handed Oliver's body to Makoto then he walked into the water and slowly lowered him in. Now all they could do was wait to see if Oliver could be brought back to life or was it too late for him.
