SupergodzillaSailorCosmos: Thanks for the review. Glad it was awesome. Venom exists on Earth-85. Enjoy the chapter.
Jason's POV.
Let's just say that I was very hesitant to trust this new Ra's Al Ghul.
I had a very good reason to be weary; I had a bad encounter with a Ra's, which resulted me in me almost dying.
"What do you want from me?" I demanded.
This Ra's appeared to be older than the Earth-1 version but he still held a cold look in his eyes.
"I need your aid in stopping my counterparts from Earths 1992 and 2005. They seek to unleash the full power of the Lazarus Pits onto the Earth" Ra's replied calmly.
From what I knew of the Lazarus Pits, which would be very bad, especially if no one died.
"I don't trust you, but I'll help you for now" I replied.
Ra's smiled thinly.
"Wonderful. There is someone else who is helping me. I believe you know her" Ra's said to me.
Out of the shadows stepped out Rebecca.
"Becky?" I asked.
She seemed different though, colder and more hardened.
She had dark hair, a scar on her forehead and a strange look in her eyes.
"Sort of. I'm her clone" Rebecca-B replied.
"Clone?" I asked in confusion.
She went into detail about how Rebecca, Reed Richards and Victor Von Doom were working on cloning but Doom went behind there backs and made this clone.
My head was still reeling from the information but I decided to table it.
"Call me Xandar" the clone said to me.
"We must travel to Nanda Parbat, to access the Lazarus Pit there" Ra's said.
"Let's go" I replied.
I was not willing to trust either of them yet, but then again I probably didn't have a choice in the matter.
Xandar could fly a plane for some reason.
She was hesitant to talk to me for some reason and I definitely didn't want to pressure her.
Together, we flew all the way back to where my journey began.
When we arrived, Ra's said that we needed to get to the Pit and that there was something in it that could help us beat the 2 Ra's.
Strangely enough, there was no one in Nanda Parbat for some reason.
The 3 of us made our way into the place where we found the Lazarus Pit.
"What exactly is the point here?" I asked in annoyance.
"We must enter the Pit and swim to the bottom in order to see if we can find the source of the Lazarus Pit" Xandar replied.
"What?" I demanded.
"Have you ever wondered where the Lazarus Pit comes from? A constant pool of energy that operates on many Earths and has the same affects. I am looking for the source of it" Ra's explained.
I never knew that there was a source for it, but it sounded cool.
"Xandar will accompany you on your way down" Ra's said.
Okay, what the hell?
I sighed and jumped into the water.
It had the consistency of juice as I swam on my way down.
I noticed a bright light at the end and swam towards it.
There was a bright sphere of energy that was glowing golden.
I had no idea on what the hell I was supposed to do so I just touched it.
It was transparent and I phased into it.
I was completely surrounded by energy and I felt past injuries of mine heal.
It truly was a miracle cure.
I felt someone tap me on the shoulder and I turned to see Xandar there with a smile on her face.
I didn't actually know that she could smile at all.
"We found it" she said.
Wait a minute; we could actually talk in here? That was new.
I grabbed a tendril of the energy and turned around, exiting the bubble.
It was still in my hand and I swam back up to the surface.
There Ra's was waiting for me with a pleasant smile on his face.
"Well done Jason" he congratulated me.
He held a warm fondness of sorts in his eyes.
"Yes indeed. For doing all the hard work for us" a new voice spoke.
We both swung around to see 2 men dressed in outfits similar to Ra's walking in.
"Who are you?" I demanded.
"We are both Ra's Al Ghul. From Earths 1992 and 2005 respectively" one said.
"You're never going to complete your plan Al Ghul" Ra's sneered.
"Oh I wouldn't be so sure about that Ra's" the other spoke.
"Demon's Head. You have such confidence" Ra's shot back.
"Unlike us, you are weak. Still not willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish your goals. No wonder the Detective keeps defeating you" Al Ghul sneered.
"Because unlike you, I have honour. I do not commit genocide simply because a brave man stands in my way. I admit that I am crazy. But you 2…you 2 are just batshit insane" Ra's shot back.
"Enough talk! Hand over that Lazarus Pit energy, or else" Demon's Head said, drawing his sword.
"I would rather die" Ra's snarled, drawing his own sword.
"Oh that can be easily arranged" Al Ghul said, drawing a sword.
Realising that I had no choice, I drew my sword and Xandar stepped up beside me, fingering a bow.
Together, we charged at our opponents.
"Xandar, get this out of here!" I ordered her.
I engaged Demon's Head in combat.
He was very skilled, but I had been trained by Oliver, Slade, Nyssa, Shang Chi and briefly by Earth-1 Ra's.
He sent a slash at my face but I ducked, elbowing him in the face.
"Nicely done boy. My doppelganger on Earth-1 told me about you" Demon's Head smirked.
He then kicked me in the knee, staggering me.
"I am disappointed. I heard great things about you. Don't you have anything new?" he asked.
"How about this?" I retorted as I grabbed Demon's Head's blade and broke it with my meta-human strength.
Demon's Head stared at me in shock and then pulled out a dagger.
Faster than I could react, he stabbed me in the stomach.
Blood spilt from my mouth as I staggered backwards.
Al Ghul and Ra's were evenly matched although Ra's seemed to be tiring much quicker.
I had a feeling it was because Ra's was older than Al Ghul.
I pulled the dagger out of my stomach as my wound slowly began healing.
Demon's Head stared at me with a neutral expression which gave me everything I needed to attack.
I jumped, kicking him twice in the chest.
He ducked under my hit and punched me at the back of the head, sending me forward.
I flipped to avoid a strike and got into another fighting stance.
"Hey, want to switch?" Ra's asked me.
"Yeah" I replied, moving to attack Al Ghul.
He was even more skilled than his Earth-2005 counterpart as I barely ducked to avoid a swing.
I flipped and kicked him at the back of the head, staggering him.
He spun around, slashing my face, and creating a large cut.
Then, as Al Ghul moved in to attack, an arrow struck him in his side.
I turned to see Xandar standing there, lowering her bow.
I gave her a grateful nod which she returned.
Ra's ducked to avoid an attack from Demon's Head and elbowed him in a rotary motion.
Xandar notched another arrow and patiently waited.
I moved back and she loosed the arrow.
It impaled him through the side of his side and Ra's knocked him out with a solid punch.
"Guys, the Pit told us we need to enter it" Xandar informed us.
"Why?" I frowned.
She shrugged in response.
"No idea" she replied.
"Well I do not suppose we should ignore it, especially if it is a powerful god" Ra's said.
Once again, I didn't exactly have a choice.
Together, we dived into the Pit, swimming down to that globe of energy.
As we entered, a portal was open which led to the City of the Gods.
I moved into the portal and gasped as we emerged onto a vast green landscape, on the outskirts of the city.
"I know where we are" I told them.
"Where?" Ra's asked.
"Follow me" I replied simply.
I walked for a while, and found dozens of large rivers flowing together.
They all had the same consistency and colour of the Lazarus Pits.
"This is where all Lazarus Pits flow from" I heard Nalia speak behind me.
Turning around, I saw her standing there with a fond smile on her face.
Ra's and Xandar were all weary but I motioned for them to stand down.
"Nalia" I bowed.
"No need to bow Jason" she waved her hand.
She then turned to face Ra's and Xandar.
"Ah Ra's Al Ghul from Earth-51. And Xandar" she said, her eyes brightening.
"You know who we are?" Xandar asked.
"Of course. I know all that has happened and all that forever will be" she said calmly.
"And who are you?" Xandar demanded.
"Nalia, Queen of all" she replied.
For some reason, it made Ra's sheath his sword.
"So this is where the Lazarus Pits flow from?" I asked.
"Yes. It is commonly known as the Blood of the Land. It makes crops here grow, and regenerates anything it touches. On Earth, you only get small, concentrated doses of it in the form of Lazarus Pits" Nalia explained.
I nodded, absorbing this information.
"Now come with me, Jason and I have some important matters to discuss" Nalia said.
She waved her hand and we reappeared back in her palace.
Nalia led me to the balcony, overlooking the City.
"Jason, I have some very bad news. The Scarlet King, Chaos King, Azathoth, a powerful demon known as Domammu and a powerful being known as Darkseid have all joined forces to destroy Creation" Nalia said grimly.
I paled in horror.
"But, they will all turn on each other. Domammu and Azathoth wish to conquer and destroy the Hyperverse by themselves. Chaos King hates his nephew Khahrahk and Darkseid doesn't want to see Creation destroyed. So sooner or later, they will betray and fight each other" Nalia explained.
"And there are a series of events set in stone. Heaven will be destroyed and all souls will be ended. And Brian Braddock must wield Excalibur to rescue the 7 Brides of the Scarlet King" Nalia said.
"Aren't they, you know all evil like there dad?" I frowned.
"A'habbat is the only one who hates her father and she will fight him. But only one person can fight the King and rescue her and that is Brian Braddock." Nalia said.
"And you must beware of the Great Darkness. Because when my husband, He Who Made Dark attacks, the dead will rise" Nalia said grimly.
"What about the other one? He Who Made Light?" I asked in confusion.
"He's not really much better than his brother. They are both idiots who want to destroy everything. Several SCP's are fragments of there essence" Nalia sighed heavily.
She looked stressed and although she hid it from everyone, I could tell she was worried.
I wrapped my arm around her.
She looked at me with a smile.
"You truly are one of the bravest souls ever" she complimented me.
"Thank you" I replied humbly, taking the praise.
"Although, you need to find Alex J McAdam" Nalia said.
"Who is Alex J McAdam?" I asked.
"He is a member of the G.I Joes. His codename is Seaplane" Nalia replied.
"I will face it when the time comes" I assured her.
She pulled me into a tight hug, not that I minded.
"There is more to this world than just good and evil. Khahrahk believes that only great power can change things. But I believe it is the smaller things that change things. Daily acts of simple kindness that keeps the darkness at bay" she said to me.
She was totally right about that.
"I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow" I whispered.
"If ever I loved thee, its now" I continued.
She smiled as tears flowed from her eyes.
"I was right. You are the best out of all of us" she said to me.
I smiled and accepted the compliment.
She touched my forehead and instantly, all of my fears, worries and injuries went away.
I smiled at her.
"I have one question though. Have you ever used your powers against an individual?" I asked.
"I have no ill will towards any entity, nor do I wish to wreck harm upon those who even harm me" she replied lightly.
"Also, do you have any relationship with SCP-001?" I asked.
Her face darkened and for the first time ever, she looked angry.
"Don't ask me that question again" she said hardly.
I gulped and decided not to ask her that again.
"Don't obliterate me or anything, but which is SCP-001?" I asked hesitantly.
"The Database is the true SCP-001 while the Gate Guardian, Scarlet King, When Day Breaks, the Ouroboros Cycle and the Factory also exist" she replied, much more calm than she was before.
"Ah! That explains it. I understand that no one would want to be associated with a fanfiction author" I chuckled.
She smiled and lightly patted me on the shoulder.
She led me back to where Ra's and Xandar were waiting.
Both of them looked very mad.
"We have been waiting, for 30 minutes!" Xandar snarled.
"Come with me" Nalia replied.
By some miracle, the 2 nodded and moved away.
I guess Nalia had that kind of way with people.
I waited patiently in the throne room.
It was carved with marble, with a golden roof and a silver floor.
I felt sorry for the poor dude who had to craft it.
Later, I was talking to Xandar.
She seemed much more mature than her clone and spoke quite differently.
There was a trace of Arabic in her tone, which made me wonder what the hell happened to her.
I decided to test that theory then, by starting a conversation in Arabic.
I silently thanked Nyssa for teaching me Arabic to begin with.
"What happened to you Becky?" I asked.
She looked at me.
"None of your business. And I told you to call me Xandar. Rebecca was my progenitor. But I am my own person" she replied in fluent Arabic.
"I know that. Still, you gotta have faith kid" I said.
"Faith for what?" she snapped.
"Faith for faith. My faith is in people, I guess, individuals" I replied.
Her face softened.
"Maybe you're right" she sighed softly.
I smiled.
Maybe she wasn't so far gone after all.
"Jason, it is time to confront my counterparts and end this once and for all" Ra's spoke from behind me.
I turned to see him and Nalia approaching us.
"All right then" I said, getting to my feet.
I kissed Nalia's hand.
"Thank you my lady" I said.
She smiled and pulled me into a hug, which I gladly returned.
Nalia then opened up a portal and Ra's, Xandar and I stepped into it.
We were back in Nanda Parbat and the 2 Ra's were both there.
Both had probably used the Lazarus Pit to heal themselves.
"Let us end this now!" Ra's said.
Xandar cracked her neck while we rushed them.
Xandar and I tag-teamed Demon's Head, and I ducked under an attack.
I drew my own sword and our blades clashed, the sound ringing across the place.
Eventually Xandar managed to get a lucky hit and jammed an arrow into his throat.
I delivered the final strike, decapitating him.
His body then fell to the floor with a thud.
Ra's and Al Ghul were still locked in tight combat, both combatants evenly matched.
Ra's parried a strike from Al Ghul and elbowed him in a rotary motion.
Al Ghul staggered back and then threw an object down, disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Ra's sighed afterwards.
I could easily tell that this was sure not over.
Later, I gathered with Ra's and Xandar.
"Thank you for your help Jason" Ra's thanked me.
I nodded.
"What will you do now?" I asked.
"I will travel across the Multiverse and hunt down my counterpart before he can cause anymore damage" Ra's replied.
"And I'm going with him" Xandar added.
She had tied her hair back into a ponytail at this point.
"All right. I wish you both good luck" I said, shaking hands with both.
They both seemed honourable to me.
As I left, I heard Nalia speak inside my mind.
"Jason, you need to go to Central City" she said.
"Why?" I frowned.
"Because it is time to bring Brian Braddock's sister Elizabeth into the fold. You must both travel to London where you will meet SCP-1440, also known as the Old Exile" Nalia replied.
Okay, looks like it was time to meet another SCP.
I remembered reading about SCP-1440, and how it was an old man who had cheated the Brothers Death in a game of cards, so they had cursed him to forever cause death wherever he went.
They were spiteful little pests weren't they?
But now it was time to kick ass.
Earth-1. London, same time.
Elizabeth Braddock was calmly walking towards her home when a 'ping' was heard in the sky.
A man fell from the sky and landed on one knee in front of her.
"Who the hell are you?" Elizabeth demanded.
"The name's Seaplane. I'm a G.I Joe from Earth-1984" the man replied calmly.
Elsewhere, Norman Osborn and Quentin Beck from Earth-199999 were watching Elezbeth and Seaplane.
"Damn it! We can't let them team up!" Osborn growled.
"I agree. We will win" Beck assured him.
And Chapter 58 is done. I hope you all enjoyed it.
I hope I handled the fight scenes well and didn't nerf anyone.
I also hope you all enjoyed the interactions between Jason and Nalia and Jason and Xandar.
So now you know a little bit more of what is to happen. SCP-1440 aka the Old Man from Knowhere is one of my top 10 faviroute SCP's ever and I couldn't resist using him.
And now you also know where the Lazarus Pits come from.
And now Norman Osborn played my Matthew McConaughey and MCU Mysterio are here as well. They will be the main villain's next chapter.
Also, I don't know who should portray Elizabeth so feel free to leave your suggestions.
He Who Made Dark is actually more powerful than the Scarlet King and his actually his father too. He Who Made Dark is the father of both the Scarlet King and the Brothers Death.
