Hello everyone welcome to the next chapter of the Justice Warriors. So wow now up to 40 chapters. Can't thank you guys enough. This chapter was a little delayed because I've been disappointed with some people lately. A story that I was actually getting into was abandoned because of the author being harassed by some fanboys. It's pathetic and I feel it's important to speak out not just for this author but for all. This has got to stop, harassing someone because of a story is just nuts. Now rant over time to get on with my story.

Walking through the streets of Metropolis felt like a chore for Vegeta. Usually he would have been able to fly around in a heartbeat. But keeping a low profile still seemed like the smartest move at this point. As the two men walked some more Vegeta started to get a little suspicious.

"So how much further is this crate of food?" He asked.

"Not long now, just have to reach that park." The homeless man replied. "The name's Jackson by the way, but you can call me Jack."

"Vegeta." The name made Jack chuckle. "Something funny?"

"Met a lot of people, but in all my years I've never heard that one before. What is that, Japanese?"

"Something like that." The two walked along and soon found themselves underneath a bridge. Standing there was a woman around the same age as Jack.

"Jack!" She lightly screamed running to him. "What the hell happened to your face?"

"Nice to see you too." Jack responded before sighing. "Got jumped by some muggers, probably thought I had drugs on me. That was until Vegeta here saved my life. Should have seen it, he was a hero." The Saiyan scoffed at that compliment.

"I'm no hero." He interjected.

"Well your a hero to us, names Jill by the way." The woman introduced herself. "The foods almost ready, though we have to eat it all tonight. Otherwise it's all, going to become rotten."

"That's not going to be a problem."

Hal's breathing became heavier with each second. Kilowog was pushing him to his limits and beyond with these training sessions. He shouldn't have been surprised a force that uses a magical ring has such tiresome training sessions. Yet the pilot could never have predicted this amount of training. The more experienced lantern was throwing large balls of energy at Hal, who had a hard time dodging them all.

"Come on fight back!" Kilowog shouted. Hal though continued to evade all the attacks that headed his way. Then an idea popped in his head, like the light switch had just been turned on. The ring could create anything, so he had limitless possibilities on how to redirect Kilowog's attack. Composing himself, Hal created a tennis racquet and smashed the ball right back at him. The alien only dodged at the last second. The two of them laughed and shook each other's hand. "Good job Jordan."

"How did I do?" The human asked.

"Adequate." A new voice answered, the two looked round to see Sinestro standing before them.

"Coming from you, I'll take than as a compliment." Sinestro ignored that comment.

"So your our new recruit, certainly not what I imagined." The experienced lantern the turned to Kilowog. "I would like to spar with the new recruit." Kilowog nodded as Hal and Sinestro took their positions. "So, show me what you've got!" Hal created a spear and threw it at Sinestro, who easily dodged. Next he created a turret and fired numerous bullets at his opponent. Sinestro though created a shield and blocked them all. Once they were all dealt with he threw the shield at Hal.

"Ha, you miss..." before the human could finish however, Sinestro's shield turned around and hit his back. Hal fell down, feeling the full weight of his opponents attack. The hatred only grew as he caught Sinestro smiling after that attack.

"Is that all you can do? Not surprising really, I can tell that your scared."

"I'm not afraid of anything!" With the anger growing Hal unleashed a rocket, hurling it towards the elder lantern. Who simply swatted it away like a house fly. All that power. All that might. And he didn't even make Sinestro flinch. Hal started to tremble at the sight of Sinestro's power. How could someone shake off attacks like that without a scratch? Kilowog though noticed this and intervened.

"All right that's enough from both of you." He shouted.

"Pathetic! Abin Sur was my mentor... My partner... My friend. You are not worthy of wearing that ring." Sinestro ranted, as he turned around and flew away. Kilowog offered his protégé a hand.

"You o.k?"

"I'm fine though I wished Satan over there wouldn't be such a pain in the ass." Hal replied.

"Don't worry, just give him time." Hal started cursing to himself, though he soon calmed down.

"Can I ask you something. You told me that a green lantern needed to be fearless, why?"

"It would be better if I showed you."

.

Back on Earth Vegeta and Jack were lying down, watching the stars above them. While Jill had gone to sleep.

"I still don't understand how you managed to eat all that food. That crate was meant to feed fifty people and you ate ninety five percent of it. How'd you do it?" Jack questioned the Saiyan.

"It's just who I am." Vegeta responded, laughing.

"Wow, Mr Grumpy over here actually smiled for once. Look I can tell from your clothes that you're not homeless. So why are you on the streets?" The Saiyan prince wanted to blast him into oblivion for daring to ask that. Yet he managed to restrain himself. Being complete bored Vegeta decided to play along.

"I got into an argument with a woman. She wanted to do one thing while I disagreed. So she gave me an ultimatum, obey or leave. So I left."

"Wait you left of your own free will?" The elite nodded. "Trust me when I say this. The loner thing you've got going on. It's only gonna take you so far." Again Vegeta's anger was at boiling point.

"And how would you know that?"

"Cause I know from personal experience, that you only fall flat on you face." A tear rolled down Jack's eye as he remembered his past. "I used to run a drug empire in metropolis. People would spend hundreds on my products, Coke, Meth, Heroine, you name it. I only started out to pay for my sister's cancer treatment. But the more money I made. The more I started to lose myself. The original plan was to quit once I raised enough money. But when that day came I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Eventually I was caught by a reporter and spent two years in jail. When I was finally released it was very difficult. My family disowned me, and I didn't even have a dime to my name. Then I met Jill, who saved my life. Best thing she ever taught me was to make the most out of a bad situation."

"So you just gave up? Where was your pride?" Jack chuckled at that statement.

"Pride? Weren't you paying attention? My pride's the exact reason that I'm in this situation to begin with. It's too late for me, but you can still fix this!"

"And what makes you say that?"

"Cause this reminds me of a story my mother told me as a child. Have you ever heard of 'The prince and a beggar'?" Vegeta shook his head. "Once upon a time there was a beggar who lived on the streets. He was a child no older than seven. One day the young boy was badly beaten by some other children. However without any money the boy was destined to die. In a last ditch effort the boy tried to receive aid from his king. Who just laughed and ignored the young boy. However the King's son took pity on him. Hired a doctor to clean the wound, had him washed and clothed as well. The prince even gave him some money to get started up. About fifteen years later the king was slain in battle, his kingdom taken. This forced the prince to run away from his kingdom. After a while the prince fell ill, but with no money every doctor wouldn't cure him. All except for one, the beggar he helped all those years ago." The homeless man paused, smiling to himself. "Listen I'm not telling you how to run your life, but I won't watch someone make the same mistakes as me. It doesn't matter what your heritage is, if you do good things people will repay that kindness."

One part of Vegeta wanted to vomit at what this man was telling him. How could his royal heritage not be a problem. Yet the other half knew that he was stuck on this planet. Maybe being nice to the locals was the only way to get something. Before Vegeta could say anything though a car parked near the camp. Stepping out of it was a beautiful young lady.

"Lois Lane as I live and breathe!" Jack yelled.

"How are you Jack? She questioned the homeless man. "Still mad that I ruined your drug empire?" Vegeta was left shocked at this revelation.

"Nah, got over that a long time ago."

"Wait a minute! This is the reporter that got you sent to jail?" Vegeta asked, believing Jack to be a mad man.

"Sure is, Vegeta meet Lois Lane best reporter at the Daily Planet." Jack introduced the reporter. "So Miss Lane, what brings you out to this neighbourhood?" Lois handed the two a picture of the night in Gotham two weeks ago.

"This is the only good photo out there of Gotham city's heroes. You know this city inside out, have they been here in Metropolis?" Lois stated, desperately looking for answers.

"Sorry Lois, haven't seen any of them."

"Well maybe your friend can..." Lois stopped when she noticed that Vegeta was missing. The elite stared down at the camp one last time. Vegeta knew that for the first time in a while he was thankful. Then he turned and set off into the sky.

Hal and Kilowog made their way towards the central battery. Kilowog explained that this was where the willpower lay, source of every green lantern's power. But unbeknownst to Hal it also served another purpose. As the two settled down Hal was left in awe when he spotted a huge yellow cockroach. It was trapped in the centre of Oa's battery.

"What the hell is that?" The pilot asked.

"That is Parallax, the entity of fear." Kilowog responded. "Long ago there was a huge divide between the guardians. One side wanted to use fear, the other willpower. This lead to an all out war between them. Blinded by their dedication to win, the fear guardians launched a plan. If they could turn the green power battery yellow then it would be over. So they created Parallax to do just that. It took everything from the guardians to defeat it. However since Parallax is pure energy you can't kill it, so they captured the parasite."

"What happened to the other Guardians?"

"They were all killed in battle, though not without cost." Hal stepped closer, unable to shake the feeling that it was staring at him.

So the next Arc will start next chapter and there will be a time skip to when they summon Porunga again. So I'll see you next time.

reviews:

X3runner:

1: I hope so

2: I was thinking about creating my own teen titans. But no promises.

3: I try to keep them as close to each other as possible. Though if I must change something for the stories sake I will.

4: I can't give any spoilers away, but if your thinking Vegeta and Gohan will go super Saiyan before Goku returns I'll have to disappoint you.

H0ckeybeast88: Thanks.

Sailor Dragonball 87: Vegeta's in metropolis because he had a fight with Bulma.

Dark Flacon: Thanks

Anime hotty lover 18: Thanks

Corondomontes: Thank you

DragonDave45:

1: There will be two arcs before that happens.

2: All three of those villains will be used though Darkseid will not show up unti really late on.

3: Again still undecided.

4: I really liked Videl during the buu arc but then her character just got worse. Losing the charm that made her character so good. Apparently it was because of the controversy of her match vs Sopopovich.
