Hello once again my ever lovely and ever loyal peeps!
So we're going to be starting the chapter with the episode of "Fury" from Justice League series with some terks to the timeline, as many heroes have joined the League. Basically, the entire league is formed, with their sidekicks creating the Young Justice team and Tim is leading the Teen Titans, not Dick, who is now Nightwing.
Basically, switching the timeline around a lot and you'll understand, once the story progresses.
To put it simply, much of the timeline won't be cannon. Somethings will happen in cannon style, just WHEN they happen has changed, like how the entire League has formed and Aresia has yet to make her move. Now she has made her move. So not much to say, as i'll let you all just enjoy this new version of Chaldea in Gotham, so enjoy as i own nothing but my OC.
So please read, review and "What the fuc-BOOM"
Chapter 1: Fury Part 1
American and its neighboring nations were spiraling out of control.
Without warning, seemly out of nowhere people everywhere were getting sick, as their skin paled and veins became viable for all to see. Glass eyes, unresponsive, high fever, and grey blotches appearing on the skin in random places became a common sight in the past twenty-four hours, it looked like the Black Plague had returned with a vengeance.
Thankful, this mysterious virus only left people comatose, rather than killing them, reports of many males, namely the oldest to youngest dying of this unknown plague were coming in like wildfire.
Yes, only male deaths.
For whatever reason, this mysterious virus only effected the male population of the world, as the female half of the world scrambled to find a reason and cause for the sudden plague that seemed to target men indiscriminately. But it wasn't just young and old or even male effected by this new plague, as many people have already died because of the plague's effects.
Car crashes from frozen drivers, planes falling from the sky as their piolets froze allowing the planes to spin out of control, causing hundreds to die as a result of the ensuring crash, trains derailing from the sudden increase or decrease in speed, fire spreading out of control due to equipment being left on too long, choppers spiraling out of control and worse were places of work or the crashes that occurred around gas stations and such. Namely hospitals and factories were hit very hard, as their workers, be they factory men or surgeons/doctors suddenly dropping ill for without warning, causing them to either hurt themselves, co-workers or cause people to die.
For doctors, it could be something as simple as being unable to perform their duties in keeping a watchful eye on their patients and the sudden intake of new ones without the proper number of workers, can cause some to be overlooked for new ones, letting them silently slip away like a small fire being snuffed out in the wind.
That wasn't even including the doctors working in intensive treatment or those preforming surgery on someone.
In factories, male workers either using forklifts or working on machinery sudden freezing up and falling into a comatose state has caused them to either fall to their deaths, fall into the machine's gears causing their bodies to be torn apart in said gears or just holding up ladders, causing the one working to fall to their deaths as a result.
That wasn't even including those on forklifts or behind any kind of wheel, as the result was the vehicles in question, running wild into something or someone, causing damage and MORE possible deaths due to the sudden intake of damaged items.
This wasn't even including those working with very fragile, explosive items that could cause a chain reaction to a much bigger disaster.
And it was growing worse and worse as time went on.
Newborn boys were still born and the very young, male babies under a year old suddenly dying from the virus, caused their parents to fall into despair or in some much more serious cases, the female commit suicide over the loss of their loved ones.
Rare but the number of suicides were steadily growing to horrifying numbers.
Even with the response of the female workers and the female members of the Justice League trying to stabilize the nations slowly falling apart but there was simply just too much work to do and not enough people to do it. All female workers, both hero and non-hero, were working themselves to the bone to keep their nations afloat
The number of victims gravely outweighed the number helpers.
It was thanks to their work; they were able to determine that the virus had originated from Gotham city.
It was there that almost all of the male members of the Justice League had been, when the plague had suddenly begin taking hold of people, to investigate a 'disturbance'.
The Martain Manhunter, J'onn J'onzz was not sick but all the female members of the League knew that could change at ANYTIME. After all, the Man Of Steel himself was sick, despite his own alien biological, he was one of the first to get sick.
It was only a matter of time before he too got sick.
Namely when for no apparent reason, a building of unknown make and strange symbols and a MASSIVE spike of energy that could only be called magic, suddenly appeared on the docks, one of Gotham's life bloods.
Batman and the "Bat clan" were trying to find a way in and when that failed, he called in the magical members of the League to get past the "Wards" on the building keeping anyone and everyone out. Seeing as the energy output was more than the entire magical division of the Justice League combined, Superman decide to get all hands-on deck for this one.
Seeing as they had a lot of problems with parallel and alternative universes, the Man of Steel decide not to take any chances.
While he liked to see the good in everyone, yes even Luthor despite the man having LONG since exhausted any and all chances of turning his life around, Superman decide to take a page out of his best friend's book:
Better safe than sorry.
But by the time the entire League assembled, the man killing plague claimed its first victim and began to spread. All the way from the shores of the USA to Canada in the north and Mexico in the south. Due to the share amount of chaos happening all over these three nations, the Justice League had to spilt up, in order to help EMS and other emergency services deal with the rising deaths tolls.
But for some, like Martain Manhunter, Cyborg (Victor Stone), Raven (Rachel Roth) and Zatanna Zatara were attempting to figure out just WHAT the blonde Amazon used to create the plague but were having little progress.
That ultimately left Diana Prince and Shayera Hol too hunt down the rogue Amazon and her cohorts. Which lead them to witinessing the remaining EMS workers trying to help those that they could.
"They seem to be on top of things."
Hawkgirl noted, as she watched firewomen and EMT's help several people, as Diana started wistfully at the sight with a sad smile, "Almost reminds me of home."
Seeing as she had not only left home without permission, but she had also broken Themyscira's most scared laws by bringing her teammates to the island, in order to save them from Hades's plans. As her mother was queen, she could not make any exception. Even if it was her daughter and even though her actions had saved their home, the queen, Diana's mother, was forced to banish her from Themyscira.
Forever.
"Seriously, who wants to live in a world without men?"
"Men can't be that essential to your life."
Diana just couldn't wrap her head around it, seeing as she grew up just fine without men in her life. More and more, she was struggling with the concept, and it was only yesterday that she had been forced to confront how much women were supposed to objectify themselves towards men. While the male members of the Justice League were fine examples of what men can become, there were plenty of bad examples of men as well.
Sometimes she wondered if it was a good thing the Amazons had hidden themselves from the world. On one hand, during the time they did seal themselves off from the rest of the world, the world was just like her mother said: Men were in control of everything, and woman were less then second-class citizens.
But now?
Now things had changed and while things were better off than they were back then, there was still a lot of strife in the world. Woman may have gained a lot of respect in the USA and various places all over the world, there were a lot of places, where woman weren't as respected.
Slavery, despite being outlawed, was still a thing after all and in many cases, women or little girls were the victims of said crime.
Ones Diana personally hunted down and broke those rings, earning a whole lot of support and love from the people all over the world for her actions. Along with bringing a lot of support for her home, Themyscira and becoming an icon for women everywhere.
"But after today, win or lose, i fear much of that support will dry up very quickly. Myself, mother and the rest of my sister will be under intense scrutiny thanks to Aresia's declaration broadcasting all over the world."
Following Superman falling ill, her blonde sister broke into a TV studio to send her message:
"Sisters! The time has come for you to rise up and make this world our own! As i speak, my plague is ravaging the USA and its countries neighboring countries. Soon, my plague will spread to the world, and we will be free from men, FOREVER! Sisters, join me, Aresia of the Amazons to rid this world of men once and for all!"
It didn't take a genius to figure out that the blonde meant the Amazons of Themyscira and even if they stop her and her allies, Diana's home WILL take a huge blow after this is over.
An even bigger one, if her insane plan actually successes. It won't be just the world that suffers for Aresia's actions, the underwater city will also suffer and seeing as one of the gods, Poseidon, favors the Atlantis over Themyscira there is a good chance the god of the sea will sink her home in retribution.
"Does Aresia even realize that, or does she simply not care how this will affect everyone else? Mother always wondered if taking her in was the right choice and now, i am beginning to wonder the same."
"Don't knock it, till you try it princess."
Hawkgirl spoke with a knowing smile, as Wonder Woman flinched, knocking her out of her thoughts, "Now let's find Aresia, before your sister causes the human race to go extinct in a few decades."
"Aresia? Is she the one responsible for this disaster?"
Wonder Woman and Hawk Girl both jumped at the sudden cold, female voice speaking and span around to see a very odd group of eight.
The one to stand out the most, was the obvious male of the group. Not only was he a shocking 7'0 foot tall with a slender but muscular physique that made it clear that he was indeed a man, despite the tattered cloak covering his upper body and shadowing his face. He wore what looked like a tight black shirt, pants and combat boots, as that was all she could see.
But what concerned the two Justice League members were his weapons.
One looked like a sawed-off shotgun with a very deadly, sharp meat hook at the end of the barrels. While the native of Themyscira was very unfamiliar with guns, the Thanagarian woman knew guns very well and had no desire to be on the receiving end of that shotgun.
Nor that meat hook either.
THAT looked like it made not only to kill but bring pain too. Lots of pain and possible, in a very brutal manner.
The second weapon was even more worrying, as while it may have looked like a great sword, the two Leaguers could see the 'teeth' on the right side of the blade. Teeth that one would normally find on a chainsaw. Given it's bulky, thick spine and how wide the blade was, the two female members of the Justice League guessed that this weapon was in fact, a chainsaw-Sword.
How and why, anyone would need such a deadly, brutal weapon they didn't know and honestly, neither one wanted to be on the receiving end of the obviously deadly weapon.
Nor did they want to know WHY he made or worse, needed such a weapon in the first place.
The second one to stand out, was, well actually three as the girls looked EACTLY the same.
Triplets.
Despite it sounding offensive, the three girls didn't even look human. The pale skin, pure white hair and red eyes might have been off putting but what stood out the most were their dog ears atop their heads and black tails jutting from their backside. If that wasn't odd enough, the three girls were matching black and red suits with admittedly, very cute little ties to top it off.
The aura coming off of the three almost reminded Diana of Hades's aura but not enough to make her too worried.
Only a little.
It didn't change the fact the three were oh so adorable, Diana was tempted to hug them to death and take them home with her!~
The one who spoke, was probably the most threatening looking of the group, despite wearing nothing more than a very pretty black dress and being petite in stature. Not only that, she took looked inhuman to a certain extent but was a sight to behold in terms of beauty. Moonlight pale skin that went well with her pale blonde hair tied up in a tight bun and yellow/golden eyes that seemed to pierce into your soul with her stoic demeanor.
She had a powerful aura that remind Diana of her own mother, a queen.
Or a king.
The next one was another blonde and if Diana was going to be honest, she wore a much more revealing outfit then herself.
No, it couldn't even be called an outfit, as it was basically just a red tube top with a red/black loin cloth to cover her lower body, red arm warmers and red leggings. The blonde girl was short but had a slender built with a clear six pack abs, tanned skin and green eyes. Her hair was done up in a ponytail and the aura of confidence she had around her, told Diana that she was not only a warrior, but she also came to win.
But was it confidence or arrogance?
The next woman however was in a lot of ways, the same as the pale blonde one.
The first thing Diana noticed about her; was the fact her hair was pink. Bright pink tied in a braid with healthy pale skin and striking crimson eyes that betrayed nothing of what she was thinking or feeling. Having worked as both a hero and ambassador for a while now, Diana had gotten good at reading people, able to tell what they were feeling just from reading their faces. But she could get nothing from the pink haired, red eyed woman.
Only thing she could tell, was the fact she was a medic, given her unique choice in clothing. She wore a red coat and a black skirt with res trim, with white boots and gloves. The fact the coat did nothing to hide her buxom figure made her stand out even more as a result.
Wonder Woman knew she was beautiful and very few women could match that beauty but the woman before her, certainly met her at the very high bar she raised.
The next woman looked an awful lot like the triplets.
Nearly reaching her height, this woman had a feral, primal charm to her. Her long hair that reached down her back was sliver with very faded pink/purple highlights at the tips of her hair. She had an equally athletic body as the rest of the woman with a flat stomach, large breasts and strong legs. What made her look like the three slivered haired sisters, was the fact she had two lion ears coming out of her head and oddly enough, a two tailed tail coming from her backside.
Unlike the others however, she looked ready to go to war.
She wore heavy, black/purple spiked like shoulder guards, vambraces, a chest plate that allowed the underside of her breasts to be seen and some lightly armored chausses on her long legs.
Whoever she was, Diana knew a predator when she saw one and this woman was the definition of a predator.
But the thing that stood out to Diana the most, was the tattoo on her stomach, just above her navel that seemed to draw attention to her...underwear. It was red, spiked circle with a wolf's head, howling.
Diana didn't know why but for some reason, she felt a surge of anger flash through her mind. Like, the tattoo was some sort of brand on the armored woman and a mockery to her sister and mother, who fought to break the chains that enslaved them during the first age.
Since coming to Man's World, Diana was aware that some people had those kinds of 'fetishes' and it was ultimately none of her business nor her place to interfere with how someone chose to live their life.
"But if some man did in fact, enslave her like Hercules and his men did to my mother, then i WILL interfere, laws be damned!"
Wonder Woman had no idea how half wrong and half right she was in that regard.
The final woman was the only woman that had the darkest skin of the group. Much like tha pale blonde, this woman had equally golden/yellow eyes with snow white hair that reached down to her knees tied back at either side with red tassels and as said before, dark skin. She wears a red and black dress bearing similarity to a short kimono and long European style coat, complete with high collar held closed by a rope tassel. She appears to wear long stockings as well.
"By Hera, it almost like I'm back home."
Not to be insulting to the women of Man's World, but all these exotic beauties could give many of her sisters a run for their money. Even members of the Justice League.
Along with the dangerous aura that seemed to surround all the women to varies degrees.
"Not to mention, the way their positioned...do they honestly expect someone to attack the male?"
Stupid question, Diana realized, of course they do. Given what Aresia had done, openly admitting that she was an Amazon and did it, to 'free women from men's rule'. While many, MANY would object and try to find a way to stop her, there were those that wouldn't.
Those very few crazies that saw the death of MAN-kind as a good thing.
"She is, what's it to you? Who are you anyway?"
Hawkgirl asked, as the pale blonde spoke, "You may call me Saber Alter and we want to find this woman so we can ensure she cannot stop the cure's dispersion."
Her answer caught both League woman off guard, as Diana looked at her with wide eyes, "You found a cure?!"
"Indeed, but in the interest of ensuring all things go smoothly, we need to find this woman before we can deploy it across the countries. To make sure she, nor her allies can stop our men from delivering the cure."
That made sense. While having a cure was good, it would be a moot point, if the blonde Amazon created an even worser version of the plague and make the current cure worthless. Not to mention, it could kill a hell of a lot faster if she decides to speed things up.
But...
"So, I'm assuming the cure works, seeing as he is standing there?"
Hawkgirl pointed at the cloaked male, who had been very silent.
"Not quite."
The two women almost jumped back at the deep, almost demonic voice coming from the cloaked male, "While the Plague has affected me, my unique biological, the cure doesn't work on me, but the plague won't kill me. Unlike my fellow men however, i have to tough it out sadly. Like waiting for a stomach bug to go away and even then, i have to use my Awakened form to move around, as my true form is very much human, thus is affected but not length, thankful."
"Awakened form?"
"Not important."
The cloaked man dodged Wonder Woman's question, as he looked at the winged Leaguer, "We must find the blonde bitch before she can do something even more stupid than this."
"Excuse me? That woman you're calling a bitch is my sister and-"
"Is responsible for the deaths of goddess knows how many innocent people, all in the name of some sexist dream of the world having no men, which by the way, will lead to the ultimate extinction of the human race. And for what? What possible reason could she have that could justifiy her doing this?"
Diana growled and deflated at the same time, as she took a deep breath and spoke, "I know. But when she was young-"
"That was a trick question: There is no good reason. The blonde BITCH must be stopped and dealt with."
"When you say dealt with, you mean arrested, right?"
Hawkgirl cut in, stopping Diana from very possible throwing a punch at the newcomer, as his crew went very silent for a couple of seconds, as the pink haired woman said in a very monotone tone, her voice not giving anything anyway as she spoke, "That will depend on her. Given the severity of her crimes and the deaths toll rising because of it, not to mention the nature of her crime, your sister will more than likely be tried for war crimes. Which shall more than likely be given the death penalty."
Suddenly, the pink haired woman pulled out a gun from somewhere, pointing it towards a woman, covered in a pink aura as she raised her hands up in the air, a sign of surrender, "Wait! Don't shot, I'm here to help, i know where Ariesa's is!"
The small group stayed silent, as the pink haired woman kept her gun trained on the newcomer but nevertheless asked, "You do? I assume you were working for Aresia in stealing the objects she needed to create this plague. Why turn on her?"
"Why?! Cause she's crazy that's why! She wants to wipe out all the men on the planet! I joined her to get paid not causing the exctient of the human race!"
The woman, Star Sapphire spoke in a very convincing earnest tone that fooled Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman.
"She's lying mother. Morgan was a much better liar then this pink clad bitch."
But...not the cloaked man and his own group. The cloaked man heard the shortest blonde's voice in his head, through their mental link.
"I noticed Mordred but as to why, i do not know. Perhaps this Aresia woman wanted Wonder Woman to join her in her so called 'Noble Cause'."
"It does sound/like something a/crazy bitch would do master."
The three bodies of Cerberus titled their heads, a sign of her distrust as they narrowed their eyes at the woman, tail stiff as board and ears ramrod. The other Servants of Flornce Nightingale, Artoria Alter Saber, Atalanta Alter and Mordred all cast an eye to their shared master, as he thought on what to do, as Hawkgirl spoke in a very bland tone.
"Yeah, we noticed. Where is she?"
"Aresia and Tsukuri are at a nearby air base. They're getting a stealth plane ready to fire cruise missiles into the atmosphere to disperse the plague globally. We don't have much time before they lunch!"
"If she does that, the death toll will be over 3.29 billion in male deaths alone. Commander, we need to move. Now."
The cloaked man nodded, as he looked at Star Sapphire, "Alright, take us their pinky."
The woman growled for a second, as she nodded, creating a pink energy contraction under them to carry the group towards the airfield, "By the way, who are you guys anyway and, you're a guy right? Does the plague affect you too?"
The cloaked man just shrugged, "Good genes. You can just call me Phantom Xero. These guys are Saber Alter, Saber, Berserker, Flornce and Ceru."
The now named Phantom Xero answered without answer as he pointed towards Artoria Alter, Mordred, Atalanta Alter, Nightingale and Ceruberus. The lack of information seemed to annoy the pink clad woman even more, but she said nothing, knowing it would blow her cover. Not that it mattered, there was no way they could stop Aresia after all, once everything was sent into motion.
Idiot.
"Mazoku, you there? Did you find a lead?"
Feeling his Focus coming to life, Xero moved to click "Answer call" revealing a hologram image of Olga Marie Animusphere appeared, shocking the hell out of the three super powered women.
"What in Hera's name?"
Diana looked at the hologram in shock, as Xero ignored her, answering Olga, "We did Olga. I and my group, alongside two Justice League members and the criminal Star Sapphire are on the way to stop Aresia as we speak."
The woman nodded, very pleased to hear it.
"Good. Seeing as she is an Amazon, we have to assume she is as strong as Wonder Woman, so if you can't apprehend without risk, then you are to terminate her and her allies if the need arises. She has proven to be a threat to humanity as a whole and a zealot as well if she is willingly to go this far, for her own twisted beliefs. Not to mention, we cannot afford to lose you too. Your too important to us to lose and honestly, you shouldn't be out in the field at all. You SHOULD be on bedrest, as we wait for the plague to flush itself out of your system.
Diana's eyes widen, alarmed at this Olga woman's callous words.
While a part of her was willingly to admit, she had a point, that didn't mean they could just go and kill Aresia like she some sort of wild animal!
"Maybe. But you know i hate sitting on the sidelines, while our people are fighting for their lives. I am the master of Chaldea Olga, the ONLY master of Chaldea and thus, it is my responsibility to see this mission through. Besides, Berserker and Saber Alter will be more than enough to take down some crazy bitch with a messiah complex."
"Hmph. Let's hope your right Mazoku. Remember, if you can't capture her without risk, then don't take any chances. Kill her if you have to but whatever you do, DO NOT let her escape."
"Understand, director."
Olga nodded, as the call ended, as the three super powered women looked at him with various degrees of shock.
"Who...was that? Your boss?"
Hawkgirl asked, as Xero nodded, "Director Olga Marie Animusphere of the Chaldea Security Organization. You know that building that suddenly appeared in Gotham, that was us. But believe me, under no willingness, do we arrive in your world willingly."
"So, you ARE from another world?"
Star Sapphire prodded, no doubt trying to find some info on them, as Xero chuckled, while Saber Alter nodded, "More to the point, we aren't from this universe, this REALITY, this dimension to be precise. You are aware of the Multiverse theory, correct?"
When the three women nodded, as Hawkgirl spoke, "We are aware and have experienced it enough times to make us wary of anyone from an alternate reality. So that begs the question, how do we know we can trust you?"
"You don't and believe me, we do not intend to stay any longer than necessary. While we may have something of a truce for now to deal with that damn Amazon and her little plague, due note that this cooperation will more than likely be for the last time. I and Chaldea have no interest in working for or with the Justice League in any shape or form, as we do not need YOUR enemies coming after us just because we dare be around you."
That confused the two Leaguers, as Wonder Woman asked, "What do you mean? You make it sound like we attract the bad guys."
"You do. Not intentionally of course but simply because of the strength you possess. As a wise man once said: Our very strength incites challenge. Challenge incites conflict. And conflict... breeds catastrophe."
The rest of the ride to the airfield was in silence, as Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl digested the pale blonde's words. All the while this happened, Xero was having his own conversation with a certain Amazon queen.
"Master, this is unacceptable, I should be the one dealing with this child."
And it wasn't going well, as Xero was trying to persuade Pentesilea to NOT go on a rampage, tearing the city apart looking for the foolish Amazon that was sullying the ideals she stood for. Understandable angry about it, but he didn't want to show all their cards just yet.
"I know Pen, i get it, your pissed off and you have every right to be pissed. But please, wait until we have her in our sights at least. We need to make sure the bitch doesn't have some sort of contiguous plans or any hidden aces up her sleeve."
The Amazon stayed silent for a minute, before answer, voice ripe with anger, "Very well then master but remember, once we ensure she does not have some sort of secondary plan, that bitch is mine.'
Well, he supposed that was all he could ask for.
Xero sighed for real under his hood.
"This entire thing is going to become a clusterfuck, isn't it? Amazing how much can happen in two days."
Yep.
That's all it took, was just too days for everything and the future of this world to change.
In just two days.
How did this happen you ask? Well, let's wind the cloak back two days, in a different time, in a different world entirely.
Done, first chapter is up, and the bio is done.
The first part of Fury is finished and now, we will move onto the second part soon, as the next chapter will reveal what Xero has done in HIS version of Chaldea.
Important notes:
Some events like Hawkgirl's people invading, Luthor getting poisoned by the kryptonite and Cyborg has yet to join the Justice League. The Teen Titans are being led by Tim NOT Dick, as Dick is already Nightwing.
Also the Young Justice team also exists, as they just formed a week ago, oh well you'll see when i progress futher into the story. Till next time everyone!
Devil out!
