Hello everyone welcome to the next chapter in The Justice Warriors. This one was actually difficult to write, there were actually a few rewrites if I'm honest with you. But I have finally got a good chapter together so here we go.
.
Under the sea, a shining city stood firmly on the oceans bed. That city was called Atlantis. It once stood proud as the most technological city in the world. Before it submerged into the Atlantic Ocean. Legend said that a long time ago, Atlantis was once on the surface of earth. Until the elders made a deal with the god Poseidon to protect their city. What they didn't know was that in order to help protect it. Posiden sunk it into the ocean floor.
What they lost however the also gained. The then King of Atlantis was given a powerful trident, that would bestow great power to whoever wielded it. This trident was passed down from one generation to the next. Presently it's current owner is Queen Atlanna. Though it will soon pass down to her son Orm, when he becomes of age.
Queen Atlanna was swimming back to the palace. With her was Orm and their most trusted advisor, Black Manta. Who wore a helmet with big red lenses. Accompanying them were a legion of guards.
"Isn't this exciting mother?" Orm said. "In two days I will be of age, and Ruler of Atlantis." He was met with a scowl from his mother.
"Remember Orm a good King never boasts about his power." Queen Atlanna shouted. "This trident is to be used for the benefit of Atlantis, not to measure di..."
"My queen, it seems the civilians are already waiting for us." Manta cut in, as they looked over, a bunch of civilians were waiting for the royal family. All of them were chanting Orms name, the soon to be King waved at his subjects. They all arrived at the palace.
"Come on Orm, stop making yourself look like an idiot and get in here!" A now dejected Orm swam with manta towards his mother. The trio then went inside as they were confronted by a guard, who bowed.
"My queen, your special request has arrived." He said.
"Excellent!" The queen replied as she turned Orm. "I must take my leave, don't do anything stupid while I'm gone Orm." Atlanna then turned and swam with the guard, leaving a saddened Orm.
"My King, permission to speak freely?" Black Manta asked.
"I'm not a King yet Manta, but yes you may." Orm replied.
"Do you not think that Queen Atlanna should treat you with more respect?"
"My mother maybe strict, but she is only doing what any parent would. To look out for her child. Listen I know my mother, she would never betray my trust."
"If you say so." Orm swam away as Manta looked back towards were the queen had gone.
.
Over in the throne room, Queen Atlanna entered to see a young woman standing in front of her. She had long red hair and a green outfit fitted.
"Mera, it is so good to see you!" The queen said as she hugged her friend. "So what of my son?"
"Arthur is as well as can be, after losing a loved one..." Mera paused for a bit remembering her life. "It can be hard. Last night he confronted a couple of thugs to help a fish. Arthur could have finished them all off, yet he showed restraint." This has got Atlanna thinking.
"Then he is ready, bring him here at once Mera. It seems it's time for my son to receive his crown."
"Listen about that. Are you sure it is wise to let Arthur be King? I mean the people love Orm, and he has more knowledge of our people."
"There is more to being a King than knowledge and popularity Mera. Orm may be respected but he lacks skills for the crown. Arthur has all the qualities of a monarch."
"At once my queen." Mera left as neither of them noticed Black Manta was listening in to their conversation, the masked man smiled.

Goku hated wounds, it was a constant reminder that he couldn't fight. It was like a part of him had temporarily been taken away. Still Korin said that a fresh batch of senzu beans were only days away from being ready. His wife had made sure that Goku stayed in bed till he was at one hundred percent. Still at least Chi Chi was feeding him well, even after the incident with Gohan. Sending him off to Namek was one of the hardest things the Saiyan ever had to do. He did trust Krillin and even Flash, although they didn't really know each other very well. As Goku layed in bed pondering about the future, Chi Chi entered.
"Goku, Bulma and that superman guy are here to see you." Chi Chi said. As he heard this the Saiyan got very excited.
"Thanks, can you send them in please?" Goku asked as the two visitors entered the room.
"You ok Goku?" Superman questioned the Saiyan.
"Yeah still healing a bit, should get some more senzu beans soon. I see that you've gotten better already."
"I know, turns I can heal myself faster than an ordinary person. I have to apologise Mr and Mrs Son. If I had known I had this ability I would have gone to Namek instead of your boy..."
"You can not blame yourself for that child's reckless behaviour." Chi Chi interrupted. "And please, call me Chi Chi." Clark smiled as Bulma stepped forward.
"Now that's out of the way, I have some great news. Turns out that my father was working on another ship. Once those Senzu beans are ready you can go and help the others!" Bulma explained.
"Wait I thought you didn't have an engine?" Goku asked.
"Well that's why we're here. You were bought to this planet when you were a baby. So there should be a space pod, with an engine to take us towards Namek." Goku looked down in disappointment.
"I'm sorry guys, but I had Roshi look for it, all he found were broken parts. My grandfather probably destroyed it to stop me from ever knowing the truth." Everyone now looked in despair.
"What are we going to do now?" Superman whispered.
"Perhaps I can help." A voice called out. Everyone looked around until they saw Mr Popo next to the window. This made everyone but Goku jump, the Saiyan just laughed.
"Easy guys, that's Mr Popo, Kamis assistant. So what did you have in mind Mr Popo?" Goku questioned.
"Once I found out that Kami was an alien. I searched for the ship that took him here. The actual ship itself is beyond repair, however all the mechanical elements are working fine."
"Wait if Kami knew about his past, why didn't he ever tell us?"
"The guardian of Earth is recruited by the Olympians. They managed to make a pact with the Namekian's. If the Namekian's sent over someone as a guardian, they would remain in isolation from Earth. This meant Kami was forced to never reveal this information. Now if one of you would like to join me, we can get started on the ship." Everyone suddenly looked at Bulma.
"Why me?" Bulma shouted.
"Cause your the expert on this kind of stuff." Clark replied. Bulma sighed knowing that he was right. The CEO of Capsule Corp stepped out of the window and onto Mr Popo's flying carpet.
"Hey Bulma, remember... I can show the world." Goku sang, which upset Bulma.
"I hate you!" She yelled. Suddenly Bulma and Mr Popo disappeared from the view of Goku's home.

Tien never really liked going into big cities. The noise and smell always turned him off. This was especially true in a place like Gotham city. Yet the three eyed warrior was here. Batman had promised him an extra arm and he wasn't going to leave until he got it. Tien was told to meet a friend of the batman's at Wayne tower. It wasn't that hard to find, just walk till he saw the building with a giant 'W'.
As he entered he looked around. There were a lot of men and women in suits on their mobile phones. Thankfully he wore a hat, so no one would freak out about his third eye. Tien made his way to the reception desk, where a women was at.
"Hello my name is Tien Shinhan I was..." Before he could finish that statement the receptionist butted in.
"Ah yes Mr Shinhan, we have been expecting you. If you'd take the elevator to the top floor, someone will meet you there."
"Thank you." Tien did as he was told and took the elevator upwards. He couldn't help but think however that something wasn't quite right. Tien didn't have time to think though as he arrived. He was then greeted by someone in a very expensive looking suit.
"Hello Mr Shinhan, my name is Bruce Wayne." Bruce said. This certainly surprised the former assassin.
"Wait, the Bruce Wayne?" Tien replied as Bruce laughed.
"Yes it's me. I was told that you needed my help from our mutual friend." Tien nodded.
"Yeah, he said you can give me a new arm." The two of them walked into Bruce's office where the arm was at. Tien looked at it with happiness in his eyes. "So, this is mine?"
"It's all yours. Just report back to our friend in a couple of months to tell him if everything is ok. If it is then Wayne enterprises will start mass producing them." After about an hour of programming plus trial and error. Tien's new arm was ready to go.
"Listen Bruce, I don't know what to say." Tien said.
"Just, make sure you put that arm to good use." Bruce replied. Tien nodded as he left the office. At that moment Bruce's communicator went off. "What is it?"
"Sir I have located Arthur Curry. He lives in a lighthouse a few miles south of Gotham city." Alfred told his boss.
"I'm on my way." Bruce moved a couple of books off his shelf to reveal a scanner. When he put his hand on it the shelf moved. Inside of it was a room with an armoury of bat related items. Including a spare batsuit. The billionaire got dressed as he made his way towards what would hopefully be answers.

Arthur sat on his sofa with a beer in his hand. Life had become pretty boring now that his father was gone. There was no one to talk with, except for the fish. Ever since he was really young Arthur found he had the ability to talk with aquatic life. He always found their stories very interesting. Even if it usually involved some very weird stuff.
As he drowned in his sorrows, Arthur heard his doorbell ring. The man opened it to reveal a women with red hair and what looked like green body armour. Arthur really didn't know what to expect, she was very beautiful and had a wonderful smile.
"Are you Arthur Curry?" The lady asked as the blond haired man struggled to answer.
"Er... Yeah that's me." He replied.
"My name is Mera, I would like to talk to you. May I come in?" Arthur nodded as both of them sat down on his sofa. "I need to talk to you about what your father always hid." Arthur looked in shock.
"Wait, you knew my father?"
"To be honest no, however I do know your mother." Arthur's heart skipped a beat, his mother was alive? "She sent me to get you."
"Look I think you must be mistaken Mera. My mother died when I was a baby."
"No she's alive, and needs your help. Your mother is the queen of Atlantis and she would like you to become her successor." Arthur couldn't help but laugh.
"Atlantis? Ok you are officially even crazier than I am."
"We're not crazy Arthur, you are the heir of the Atlantian throne. Where do you think all those abilities come from? The communication with aquatic life, super strength, incredible durability. What about being able to breath underwater?"
"How do you know about all of that?"
"I know because I'm telling the truth. Your mother once told me about a time when you were lost at sea. You were a child, I believe?"
Then it clicked, something that had been repressed in Arthur's mind for a very long time. When he was a child Arthur and his father was on one of their fishing trips. At one point he slipped of the boat. With the current very high it looked like he would be stranded in the ocean. However before that happened, Arthur had a glimpse some woman swimming towards him. That was the last thing he remembered, before waking up on his dad's boat.
"I remember." Arthur stuttered. "The woman I saw as a kid, that was my mother?"
"Yes, she never stopped loving you Arthur." Mera said as Arthur got up.
"Alright I guess I'm starting to believe this Atlantis situation more. So what's going to happen?" Before Mera could reply however there was a loud shake from outside. Both of them went to check, they saw creatures walking their way towards the lighthouse.
"Trenchers? We have to go now!" Mera grabbed Arthur's hand, the two of them looked at each other sharing a moment. Until they were snapped out of it due to the trenchers noise from outside.
.
Speaking to the crowd was always a delight for Orm. They all loved him, and he in turned deeply cared about them. Being the ruler was going to be difficult, yet the Atlantean was up to the challenge.
"Thank you. Thank you all. Once I am king you will all be treated as equals!" Orm shouted as the crowd roared in celebration. As he swam inside, Orm was met by his angry mother.
"So I don't treat others equally?" She bitterly said, the future king backed up in fear.
"No mother that's not wha.."
"Listen here Orm. And listen well! I am the ruler at this point not you. If you ever make me look bad again, I will turn my son into a daughter. Do I make myself clear!"
"Yes mother." Queen Atlanna left as Orm was approached by Black Manta. "I don't get it Manta, why does she treat me this way?"
"Sire I bring troubling news, your mother has sent Mera to fetch someone. I believe he will be a threat to your rule." Orm looked concerned.
"Manta, that's crazy. Why would my mother do something..." Orm said as he realised that Mera had not been seen for a couple of weeks now. "No, my mother wouldn't do something like that. She loves me!" Orm stormed off in anger as Manta smiled underneath his helmet. Knowing his plan was coming together perfectly.
.
I have to say it's really fun writing Orm. What I have planned for him will make him the best villain I have ever written about. So stayed tuned for that. Review time!
Dark flacon: Really? I heard senzu beans can't heal any injuries that have already been healed over.
Coronadomantes: I will definitely do 2, 4 and 5. 3 i am debating. 1 is unlikely I'm afraid.
Guest 1: Thank you
Guest 2: Yeah its aquaman, I remember the show was amazing! This arc is something I have always wanted to do, mainly because of one scene. (though you will have to wait until next chapter for that).
Until next time. Have a good day!
