Chapter 2: An Unexpected Discovery
As the Justice League got into their fighting positions, they made their attack against the dark wizard Wartz. Superman, the Green Lantern and Wonderwoman were the first three to race toward the dark wizard, Wartz, however was not impressed by this. Instead he stayed floating in the air laughing at their attempts that was until Superman laid the first punch on Wartz. As Wartz recovered from the attack he then turned his head toward Superman.
"Is that the best you can do?" asked Wartz.
Wartz then aimed his staff at Superman, before he was about to fire at him; Wonderwoman knocked him off balance by giving him a strong punch and another kick at Wartz. Green Lantern then fired several green blasts by using his ring at the dark wizard. The dark wizard uses his staff to create a sphere around him that acts like a shield. As the dust cleared, Wartz stood right in mid-air with the shield still activated.
"Is that the best so far?" asked Wartz as he taunted the League members.
"How about this!" replied Hawkgirl as she was carrying her match and flying toward the dark wizard.
Hawkgirl smashed her mace on the dark wizard, and destroyed the shield that protected him. Superman then raced in again and gave a stronger punch at the dark wizard, sending him flying across the air, but the dark wizard soon recovered and raced toward Superman. He then created a fist with his staff and knocked Superman down to the ground of the temple. Flash raced toward Superman's aid.
"Are you okay?" asked Flash.
"Yea" replied Superman, "I'm fine."
"I can see why a couple of super-powered kids had trouble with this weirdo" said Flash.
"Can't imagine why" said Superman as he got himself up from the ground, "J'onn, why are you not attacking him?"
"There is something strange about this dark wizard" replied J'onn as he was in some sort of a trance.
"What do you mean?" asked Flash.
"I mean" replied J'onn, "is that this dark wizard's source isn't his staff he is carrying, it's something else."
"What could be possibly be his source of his power?" asked Superman.
"I am not sure about it right now" replied J'onn, "but I am sure we are going to soon find out."
"I believe I need to have a few more questions answered" said Batman to Superman, "can you hold off this dark wizard?"
"Hopefully I can" replied Superman.
"Yea" said Flash.
"Sorry" said J'onn to Flash, "but I am afraid you won't be able to help that much since most members of the league can fly and you can't."
"I think it's important that you along with Batman and Flash get some answers from the people who brought us here in the first place" said Superman, "Wonderwoman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and I will keep him busy."
"That's a good idea" said Flash.
As the three went into the temple, the others were busy fighting Wartz. Wartz fired several fireballs from his staff, but the Green Lantern blocked it by creating a wall with his ring. Yet the blasts from the fireballs were strong enough to send him off flying away. Superman got up from the ground and raced toward the dark wizard. He grabbed his leg and threw the dark wizard toward the ground. Then Superman used his heat ray beams and tried to attack the dark wizard. Wartz then created a shield with his staff, blocking the heat ray beams. Meanwhile in the temple, Pan was wondering why Flash, Batman and J'onn were not fighting in battle.
"What's going on?" asked Pan, "Are you three hurt? Do you need medic care?"
"Not really" replied Batman.
"We need some straight facts" said J'onn.
"Yea" said Flash as he chimmed in.
"First off" said Batman, "where did this dark wizard originated?"
"It was just after the tournament Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. had their match" replied Pan, "they were about to claim a prize for their tournament, but the dark wizard appeared out of nowhere."
"And just what is this temple really?" asked Batman.
"I would explain that" replied the green humanoid as he walked into the room.
"And you might be?" asked Flash.
"I am a Namek" replied the green humanoid, "I am the guardian of this planet in this dimension."
"And I am Mr. Poo Poo" said the black-skin toned humanoid as he came into the room.
"And what is the source of this dark wizard we are facing?" asked J'onn.
"That's the whole point" replied the temple guardian, "we don't really know. He just appeared and kicked the butts of Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr."
"And that's why we were brought here" said Batman.
"Exactly" said the temple guardian.
"Just one more question" said J'onn, "what are these dragon balls you speak of?"
"I would be able to answer that" replied Pan, "there are seven dragon balls. Gather all seven together and you have a wish."
"Where did these dragon balls all go?" asked Batman.
"We don't know" replied Pan, "they stay dormant for awhile until they are ready for more wishing."
"I didn't see them go anywhere on this planet" said the temple guardian, "I'm doing a dragon ball radar test here."
"And your result?" asked Flash.
"The dragon balls are strangely right here at the temple" replied the temple guardian, "but they are not visible."
"J'onn" said Batman to J'onn, "do you think when the light that hit us back at the tower might have something to do with the dragon balls still being here at the temple?"
"I don't know" replied J'onn.
"Here" said the temple guardian as he handed J'onn a dragon ball radar, "see where the dragon balls are located."
"It says there are three in this room right here" said J'onn looking at the radar screen.
"That's strange" said Pan, "the only people that have recently arrived are you three along with the others fighting outside against that dark wizard."
"Wait a minute" said Flash, "you are saying these dragon balls are inside one of the Justice League members? Cool."
"Then I believe that might be the only way to defeat the dark wizard Wartz" said the temple guardian, "is that you seven somehow activate the power of the dragon balls."
"Can't we heal these two little guys?" asked Flash.
"True" replied the temple guardian, "but I am afraid you will have to learn how to do it once the dragon ball powers have been activated."
Meanwhile outside of the temple, Wartz wasn't breaking a sweat as he was fighting the other Justice League members. Hawkgirl used her mace and clashed with Wartz and his staff. They dueled for several minutes until Wartz fired a blast from his staff at Hawkgirl, sending her crashing to the ground. She eventually recovered, but this made the Green Lantern angry, so he made a fist out from his ring and tried to knock down Wartz. Wartz used his staff and created a fist of his own and arm wrestled with the Green Lantern. Wartz, however, won and threw the Green Lantern down to the ground. Wonderwoman tried to use her lasso against Wartz, but Wartz pulled the lasso toward him and knocked Wonderwoman down to the ground.
"This is pathetic!" said Wartz, "the two Saiyans were a small warm-up, but I consider them to be even stronger than you!"
"That's what you think" said Superman as he raced toward Wartz.
Superman gave several good punches at Wartz. He then managed to knock Wartz out of the air and sending him falling down and onto the hard ground, but the ground wasn't on the temple, it was the actual dirt ground. Superman then raced toward Wartz where he was trying to get up. Superman hoped this would end the reign of the dark wizard. But not even Superman could know how strong the dark wizard was.
