This is my first Young Justice fanfic. I've had this fan theory about what would've happened if Klarion had not ignored Conner's cry for help in the Phantom Zone in season 4 episode 12. Anyways, enjoy the story.
Summary: Takes place during season four episode 12. What if Klarion had heard Superboy's cry for help in the Phantom Zone and helped him escape rather than ignore him. As a result, the future is somewhat changed. Hopefully for the better.
Chapter One:
Klarion, the once all-powerfull Chaos Lord was in way over his head. One moment, he was at the Tower of Fate, begging for help. Next thing he realized, his cat Teekl had been slain by the new Chaos Lord, Child.
The result led to Klarion being stripped of his anchor to the mortal plane. He then had to possess a school bus from ten years ago to use as a temporary anchor and spent hours in search of someone who could help him.
As Klarion took the school bus through a strange dimension known as the Phantom Zone, he heard a familiar voice cry out "Help me, please!"
Klarion turned around to see who was calling out for help, and was shocked by what he saw.
The person standing there was Conner Kent aka Superboy. From what Klarion had heard from the news reports, Superboy had been presumed dead on Mars after stopping a virus bomb that was laced with kryptonite. Laying next to him was an unconscious female of an unknown species.
"Superboy, is that you?! Boy are you a sorry sight for sore eyes." Klarion said in a snarky tone.
" Klarion?! What in the world are you doing in a school bus?" Conner asked, thinking that he was going crazy from being trapped in this wretched dimension for too long.
" Well long story short, a new Chaos Lord named Child is wreaking havoc across Earth. She had her anchor, Flaw kill my cat Teekl. Resulting in me losing my corporeal body. So I took possession of this school bus from ten years ago as a temporary anchor. I've been searching all over for a hero to help me out, and it looks like you're my only option.
" And I should trust you why?" Conner asked warily, knowing how evil Klarion could be at times.
" Because, I'm your ticket out of this wretched place. I only ask that you help me out in return. What will it be, Boy of Steel?"
Conner pondered for a moment. If he accepted Klarion's offer, he could go back to Earth and reunite with his friends and family. He could also go home to M'gann, after all he had not seen his fiancée since they had been separated from each other on Mars.
" All right Klarion, you have a deal. I'll help you in exchange for you freeing me from wherever we are." Conner said as he gently picked up the unconscious girl he had nicknamed "Ghosty".
" Well then climb aboard, I haven't got all day you know." Klarion said grumpily as he automatically opened the doors to the school bus.
As much as he hated Superboy, Klarion knew that the Boy of Steel was currently his best bet to stopping Child before she could destroy the entire world.
As Conner stepped aboard the school bus, blood suddenly poured out of the open wounds on his chest, causing him to cry out in agonizing pain and lose consciousness.
Klarion quickly took the school bus through a portal, knowing they had to get back to Earth right away.
And that's the end of Chapter one. Next chapter will take place during season four episode 13. Leave a review and let me know what you think.
