The Zenko of the DC

Chapter 5: A Power Reversion

While J'onn and Diana thought Naruto and Batman was gunned down by the white alien invaders on the other side of the sealed tunnel, they were unaware of what was really occurring with the duo. Naruto focused on the enemy as they took aim with their blasters, ready to fire at them.

"Get ready to move once I create an opening for our escape," Naruto whispered to Batman. The Dark Knight was confused at first but nodded in affirmation to the plan. Right before the aliens opened fire, Naruto had many chakra chains to shoot out from his back and enclose them in a domelike structure against which the lasers would then bounce off upon collision. The aliens soon stopped firing when their attacks proved ineffective, that was when the chains dispersed to reveal Naruto finishing the last set of handseals and was taking in a deep breath "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" then he blew a large blast of wind to which knocked away everything in its path which included the aliens, Sigmis joined in by opening its beak to unleash a stream of fire which fused with the wind to transform into a massive fiery blast.

Batman was momentarily stunned at the sight of the powerful attack but snapped back into focus as they ran down the now free pathway towards a possible exit, more white aliens appeared to attack them but Naruto and the Dark Knight made use of their incendiary kunai and batarangs respectively to ward them off.

"We need to find the exit quickly before they can box us in again!" Batman called out.

"There's no need to worry about finding a way out when I can simply make one," Naruto formed his signature handsign to create a shadow clone, surprising Batman yet again as he watched them weave their hands around to conjure a large blue spiraling energy sphere then held it before them "Giant Rasengan!" they charged forward and rammed it into the wall to blast a large hole through it but they kept going and continued blasting through wall after wall with Batman while the aliens were in pursuit of them. Eventually Naruto through the last wall to emerge from the factory, they turned round to see the aliens backing away instead of continuing the chase.

Batman looked up to the sky to see the sun shining its rays upon them "Just like I suspected, they seem to be highly susceptible to ultraviolet rays which explains why they quickly constructed the factories to block out the sun,"

"Like a stereotypical vampire, is there any way we can turn things around? I feel that our backs are pretty much against the wall right now," asked Naruto.

Batman held up the red crystal "I believe I can modify the ion matrix crystal to perform the opposite of its original function,"

"I hope you can do it fast so we can meet up with the others,"

"I have to return to my lair over at Gotham to use the tools needed there to do so,"

"Okay, I'll come along and wait at Gotham before heading to Metropolis to back the others up and turn the tables on the invaders," said Naruto, then both heroes began to make their way to Gotham city to prepare the means for a counterattack against the white aliens.


Back in Metropolis, things were taking a turn for the worst. Numerous parts of buildings were broken apart and spread out along the among the streets alongside wrecked and burning vehicles, people were running in a state of panic and chaos with a few others seizing the opportunity to break into stores and steal various items. The police and the military are doing everything they can to oppose the threat but their crippled battle strength isn't putting the odds in their favor

Up above on the top of a tall building are Diana and J'onn looking down at the ensuing chaos with the former feeling appalled buy it. She was expecting the citizens to at least join forces with their military to fight against the invaders, but instead they perform selfish acts in order to save themselves. She couldn't help but feel that they were not worth the deaths of the two fallen heroes.

"Perhaps mother was right about mankind, they're nothing but untamed savages," Diana spoke with disgust.

"Do not judge them too harshly, they act out of fear," J'onn spoke up.

The duo didn't need to wait much longer as Flash and a recovered Green Lantern arrived at the building, having been called over by J'onn via telepathy.

"Sorry we're late, had to stop and help civilians," said Green Lantern.

"What did you call us back for?" asked Flash.

Diana pointed at the alien factory ahead of them "Superman has been captured, he's trapped somewhere inside there with Hawkgirl,"

"Whoa," Flash was finding it hard to believe that someone like the Man of Steel could have been captured, even when he had backup.

"Where's Batman and Zenko?" asked Green Lantern but Diana remained silent so J'onn spoke instead.

"They acted heroically to the very end,"

"The bats and ninja dude are gone?" Flash was in disbelief, he knew Batman was always the kind of guy to get out of many jams and also saw how Zenko operated just like the ninjas he saw on TV but far more advanced than them.

"This is not good, definitely not good," Green Lantern said this with a frown on his face.

Moments later, the group had arrived close to the proximity of the factory which was currently guarded by an alien walker with Green Lantern and Flash scoping the area.

"I can't believe we're doing this again," said Flash.

"If Superman and Hawkgirl are in there, someone's go to rescue them…you're sure they're in there, aren't you?" Green Lantern turned towards J'onn who remained silent "…J'onn?"

"…yes your friends are alive but we must act quickly…the Imperium is coming," J'onn spoke ominously.

Flash quirked an eyebrow in confusion "The who?"

"The supreme intelligence which controls these invaders, we have met before,"

Flash towards Green Lantern to whisper to him "Can we trust this space case?"

"What choice do we have?" Green Lantern whispered back before speaking to the rest "Okay, we're going in…Flash, create a diversion…Diana, watch my back,"

Diana placed her hands on her hips with a smirk "You want to rely on an amateur?"

Green Lantern could only growl inwardly at the snarky response before speaking up "Alright…let's move!"

The group split into two directions with Green Lantern, Diana and J'onn going down a route while Flash took another with the latter running in between the alien walker's legs to appear behind it. Flash threw a rock at the head to catch its attention as the alien robot turned round and began firing at him but he quickly outran the laser fire to strategically position himself close to a hidden explosive mine then taunted it to attack him again. The alien walker approached then raised one of its legs to stomp on him, only for the speedster to move out of the way for it to strike the landmine and have the leg destroyed, the walker unable to maintain its balance toppled to the ground and exploded.

The group made their way inside the factory with Flash soon rejoining them soon after, a pair of alien invaders were patrolling the passageway so J'onn transformed into one of them and led them to the others before striking them both down from behind. The group continued on with their search for Superman and Hawkgirl with J'onn in the lead while cautiously keeping out of sight to avoid being detected by the alien invaders. They stopped before a wall where J'onn placed a hand on it and concentrated his powers for a moment before speaking up.

"I sense that they're somewhere behind these walls," said J'onn.

Diana approached the wall and tried to push it down to make a way through but to no avail "It's no use, we'll have to find another way,"

"Stand back," Green Lantern stepped forward and aimed his ring at the wall to fire a thin green energy beam and began to cut a hole through it.

J'onn looked up to the ceiling "We haven't much time left," eventually Green Lantern was able to cut a hole through the wall and there they found Superman and Hawkgirl hung from the ceiling unconscious, they ran to help them but J'onn suddenly spoke up "Wait! Something is not right…"

At that moment, the unconscious heroes suddenly woke up to reveal red eyes, confirming J'onn's suspicions as the hole behind them quickly sealed itself up before they could pass through it.

"It's a trap!" Green Lantern called out in alert, then small openings appeared in the ceiling which then proceeded to expel yellow gas that was all too familiar with Green Lantern and Flash. Everyone struggled for consciousness but they eventually succumbed and laid out on the ground. The 'Superman' and 'Hawkgirl' stood before them with smirks on their faces before transforming to reveal that they're the alien invaders.


Meanwhile, the Batplane was closing in on the outskirts with Naruto riding on the wing as he didn't want to attract much attention and so had Sigmis revert to his chick form and stayed within the hood. When they had left Egypt, Batman had Naruto wait for him at the clock tower in Gotham city while he headed to his lair to modify the ion matrix crystal to their advantage. Later on, they regrouped and made their way to Metropolis. Batman had the plane land close to the boundary before he and Zenko began their approach to the alien factory by foot.

"Can you sense where Superman and the others are?" asked Batman.

"Already did before we got here and they're all together in one place but they aren't moving. My best guess is that they're being held captive," Naruto replied "So how's this device going to work?"

"By inserting the component into the similar alien pod, it should reverse the factory's primary function and disperse the black clouds for the sun to shine through,"

"And giving us the natural home advantage, I'm all for that," Naruto smiled behind the mask but he sensed something which caused him to frown instead "We must hurry, I sense something heading towards the city…something big,"

"It must be the leader of the invaders, let's go!"

The duo took several routes and avoided traversing the rooftops to avoid detection from the alien invaders until finally arriving at the factory. Naruto and Batman were able to find a way inside via a gaping hole in the wall. The moment they were inside, they then heard J'onn's voice in their minds.

"Zenko, Batman, can you hear me?" asked J'onn.

"Loud and clear, we're on our way towards your location and Batman has the device ready to disable the factory. Have any idea where the control room is?" asked Naruto whilst making sure that no one was nearby to listen in.

"The others and I are held in it, I'll use my powers to mentally shield you both to avoid being detected,"

"Then we'll make our way over there quickly," said Batman.

"Please hurry, the imperium will arrive at any moment,"

"Got it," Naruto replied.

J'onn snapped back into focus as he along with Superman and the rest of the group bound to a platform looked up at white alien invaders with one of them stepping before them and began to speak up.

"Earth's mightiest heroes…" the alien then transformed into Senator Kelly, Superman was mildly surprised before glaring at him "…welcome,"

"Just as Zenko thought, you really were an imposter all this time," said Superman much to the surprise of the alien.

"So you know of who I am, a pity that your very comrade lies dead alongside Batman," said 'Senator Kelly' with a sneer, causing Superman to grit his teeth with rage.

"This is far from over!"

"That's where you are wrong…" the imposter pushed a button on a control panel next to him for the ceiling to open up widely for everyone to look up to the sky, there they saw a massive spaceship hovering overhead and a smaller shuttle descended from it before coming down to land on the platform. The hatch opened up with a hiss as something descended from the shuttle it resembles a giant violet jellyfish with black and white matter swirling within…needless to say, it was very grotesque in appearance "All hail the imperium!"

The putrid being floated towards the group, particularly J'onn and spoke to them via telepathy "J'onn J'onzz, it's been a long time," it raised two of its tentacles upwards the part of the platform which J'onn is on to move towards the imperium and drop him, two of the invaders stepped forward with gray staffs and struck him to unleash large amounts of voltage which forcefully reverted J'onn to his original form before collapsing to the ground much to the horror of the heroes "That is much better, you have defied us for centuries,"

J'onn struggled back to his feet "And I'll never bow down before you or any of your kind,"

"Then we will personally see to finishing what should have been accomplished long ago…the elimination of the last Martian," the imperium lashed out with its tentacles to grab J'onn then drew him within itself as he screamed out in pain.

"Let go of him, you filthy…grrrrr!" Superman yelled as he struggled to break from his bonds but to no avail.

"Yield to us, J'onn J'onzz," said the imperium.

"Never!" J'onn refused defiantly.

"Why do you resist? Embrace this truth, after all these years you have finally lost,"

"…have I?"

That response casted an unsettling feeling upon the imperium "You're hiding something, a secret deep within the recesses of your mind. Is this another one of your Martian tricks?"

"Do I sense fear?"

"What are you hiding?" the alien demanded.

J'onn transformed back into his Manhunter form and yelled out "…NOW!"

*BOOOOOM!*

There was a loud explosion and everyone turns towards the source which happens to be close to the ion chamber, there they saw something which was extremely hard to believe.

"Batman and Zenko?!" Flash spoke in disbelief.

"It can't be, they're alive?!" Diana was shocked but inwardly happy to see the duo especially Zenko are alive and well.

"I mentally shielded them so they couldn't be detected," J'onn grunted out in pain.

"Sorry we're late, needed to prep up for the retaliation strike," said Naruto as Batman inserted the device through the damaged shield of the ion chamber to attach to the crystal and was activated, causing the crystal along with the fluid inside to change from red to blue.

"What have you done?!" 'Senator Kelly' demanded.

"Reversed the ion charge," Batman replied rather bluntly.

"Destroy the crystal!" the imperium yelled out in rage, the alien invaders opened fire at the duo and the ion chamber but Batman quickly using a grappling gun to swung away whilst Naruto performed a chakra enhanced jump to evade the lasers which struck the chamber but to no avail.

"It's shielded!" 'Senator Kelly' spoke in shock.

In midair, Naruto called out to Batman "I'll keep this guys busy while you work on freeing the others!" the Dark Knight nodded in affirmation as both landed on separate platforms then took to their self-assigned tasks. Naruto landed before the white alien invaders and took a combat stance as his chakra flared out from his body in the form of a blue aura "Let's get this fight started!"

"Finally, we get to hit something!" said Kurama excitedly.

"You know it, time to show em how a Konoha Shinobi does things back in his neighborhood!"

Naruto dashed forwards at high-speed in a zigzag pattern to avoid the laser fire from the aliens before leaping into the air and coming down with a flying kick to knock down on of them then quickly cartwheeling to the side to evade an attack from behind, he quickly went up to one of the invaders to execute a one-two punch and a chakra enhanced high kick to send it flying. Naruto quickly rolled to the right to avoid the next barrage of laser fire then stood back with his hands blurring through a set of handsigns "Fire style: Phoenix Flower jutsu!" he opened his mouth to launch a salvo of fireballs to strike down many of the invaders but there were still more running in to attack him and the others, Naruto went through another set of handsigns "Not done with you yet, Wind style: Twin Twisters!" he swung his arms to conjure two large tornadoes and launched them to blow them away. Naruto was about to take a step forward when he felt heat coming from the dragon tattoos on his body and sensed their intentions.

"So you guys want a piece of the action, well I'll be an idiot to leave you out! Starting off with Inazuma!" Naruto thrust out his hands as there was a flash of light before the draconic three-section staff appeared in his hands, he grabbed one end and the middle of the staff to spinning the other end rapidly like a propeller to deflect the lasers shot at him then swung an arm in an arc as a chakra chain shot out of his palm and wrapped around a small cluster of alien to hold them in place. Naruto rushed towards them whilst twirling the staff by one end as it emitted an orange aura before slamming it down upon them to unleash a large pillar of energy to destroy them. Naruto grabbed both ends of the staff and bashed the aliens rapidly with its draconic energy along with several kicks added to the mix whilst evading the shots fired, he somersaulted overhead to land in the middle of the group as the staff glowed once more with energy "Let's go Inazuma!" he then held the middle section of the staff with both hands and proceeded to twirl it rapidly over the chest and back while alternating between leaning back and forward with the ends lashing out to strike at high-speeds.

"Time to tag out, come forth Banrai!" the three-section staff switched places with the red chain sickles as Naruto was now slashing the enemy with twice the speed and agility, he flipped into the air and was stomping on their heads like stepping stones "Running lightning!" he plunged Banrai to the ground, causing red lightning to trail along the surface and shock. Naruto slammed into an alien with a shoulder charge and struck out a few times with Banrai before knocking away with a roundhouse kick. Naruto dashed sideways to dodge another salvo of laser fire and began to charge Banrai up with energy for an attack "Annihilating Dancing Dragon!" he moved at blurring speeds and began slashing in a combo all the while disappearing and reappearing amongst the enemies before finally stopping in the middle with Banrai no longer glowing.

"Kill him already, he's just one human!" 'Senator Kelly' yelled out in frustration, he himself was firing at the ninja but the target was just too evasive.

Naruto smirked behind the mask "Awwww, you guys are that impatient for more playmates? Then how about this for a stand-in before the real deal?" he crossed the middle and index fingers of both hands together "Shadow Clone jutsu!" there was a large puff of smoke which cleared away to reveal many duplicates of the original much to the shock of everyone present "Now there's enough of little old me to go around…let's mess these guys up boys!" he then switched Banrai out for the Byakko the draconic Japanese spear and dashed at the enemy.

"Yes boss!" the clones called out in chorus then they all charged forwards to engage the enemy and began taking them out with either ninjutsu or taijutsu.

"Man look at Zenko go, he puts the stereotypical ninja to shame right now!" said Flash in amazement, he had heard of the new hero's prowess but actually witnessing it is a whole different story. His skill with the weapons and use of elemental attacks is straight out of a cartoon or comic book but in high-definition, and it's been a while since he saw someone move around that quickly asides Superman.

"And to think I called him and Diana rookies, this guy fights like he had been in a life full of battles," thought Green Lantern as he watched Zenko fight against the alien invaders. The ninja battles to the point that every action is viewed as instinctual and unlike any hero or villain he had ever encountered during his time as a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

"The way he fights, it's no wonder how he and Batman were able to avoid getting killed by the invaders," thought Superman.

"As I thought, the amount of experience he has is close or if possible, surpassing that of ours. How many and what kind of battles has he taken part of to reach up to this level?" thought Batman as he used a laser gun to help free the others from their bindings. The Dark Knight had been trained by ninjas during his younger days and could see traces if not higher levels of training from the ninja's actions, making him all the more curious about his origins.

"By the gods of Olympus, I never would have thought that I would encounter a man would fight with the burning aura of a warrior. I wonder whom his teachers are to be able to train him into such a state," thought Diana as she watched her ally engage the enemy on his own and could see how he made it a priority to make the invaders focus on him and away from them and the ion chamber until its process is complete. Even now she wishes to be free and immediately move to assistance him before there was a chance of him being overwhelmed.

"He fights like it's second nature to him," thought Hawkgirl, although highly proficient with the mace she was also experienced in other weapons and so was really impressed with Zenko upon seeing the way he wielded his weapons.

Soon enough, the reversal of the ion charge was now complete as the factory launched a blue energy beam to the sky and pierce through the dark clouds, causing them to dissipate and the sunlight finally shone through. The sun's UV rays effect was instantaneous for any which was shone upon melted into a puddle with screams of agony while the others quickly took cover to avoid evaporation.

J'onn managed to break free from the imperium's grasp and grabbed it by the tentacles before forcefully pulling it into the sunlight all the while taunting it.

"You live underground and shun the light, why?! Does it burn your pale putrid skin?"

"NO!" the imperium shrieked in pain as its skin steamed and bubbled as the sun shone upon it.

"Oooh, that's one nasty sunburn," Flash commented, looking pretty revolted.

Superman seized the opportunity to absorb the sun's rays to reenergize and then used his heat vision to free himself. He tore off a large part of the upper platform and raised it to serve as a shield for Batman to work on freeing the others without interference which he did so with Diana first, Superman used his heat vision to free Hawkgirl with her doing the same by using her mace to smash the restraints holding down Green Lantern. Diana smashed the binds holding Flash as he dashed straight into the fight to help out Zenko.

Hawkgirl went swooping in with her mace swinging left and right to bludgeon the alien invaders, Flash was nothing more than a red blur as he blitzed through the opposition and knocking them out of his way, Green Lantern used his ring to encase his enemies before slamming them hard into the ground. Diana and Superman took to tearing open large parts of the factory's roof to let in more sunlight and exposing the invaders to it much to their horror.

Naruto looked to see Batman currently taking cover behind a pillar while a group of invaders continued to fire at the Dark Knight and immediately dashed over to help "Lightning style: Electro Grenade," a small blue sphere of electrical chakra formed in a palm which he then threw at the aliens to unleash a discharge, causing them to twitch and spasm due to the afflicted paralysis. Batman then seized the opportunity to jump out from behind to the pillar to throw an explosive batarang at the immobile invaders and destroy them, he simply nodded at Naruto and moved on to face the next enemy.

"Kit, that ugly menace is getting away!" said Kurama, Naruto turned around to see the Imperium retreating into its shuttle as J'onn laid on the ground nearby before Superman flew to him to help only for more of the invaders to fire at them, he shot out a chakra chain with was fused with wind chakra to pierce the wall behind them to make a hole for the sunlight to shine through and burn them.

Diana saw the shuttle attempting to escape to the mothership and quickly launched her lasso to prevent it from escaping, the shuttle fired a laser beam at Diana which forced to block the shots with her bracelets and to let go of the rope. Hawkgirl flew at the shuttle and proceeded smash at it repeatedly, giving Diana the chance to retake the rope and pull it away from the mothership. They heard a screech and looked to see Sigmis in his true phoenix form with Naruto on his back with Gunshin the draconic katana flying up to help them as he too began slashing at the hull of the shuttle with Hawkgirl resuming her attacks.

"Now Gunshin, punish them with the Flames of the Dragon King!" the blade of the katana lit up in blue flames before he swung it to unleash a large crescent to slice cleanly through the shuttle with Hawkgirl's last strike serving as the deathblow. The imperium shrieked in despair as its completely destroyed shuttle plummeted into the factory and almost crushed Batman had it not been for Flash getting him out of the way in time then exploded upon crashing to the ground.

"We need to get out of here!" said Flash as he saw parts of the factory beginning to explode.

"Not without them!" Superman pointed at the people trapped in pods nearby. He used his heat vision to break them out but two of the alien invaders started to fire at him, but a recovered J'onn appeared from behind and quickly took them out "Flash, give me a hand!"

Flash rushed on over to help but was a little put off by the slime on them "Eeew gross,"

"No time to be whiney, reddy," Some of Naruto's surviving clones jumped up to the platform and began carrying the people out of the pods.

"Don't call me that," Flash picked one up and ran after the rest.

"The whole place is about to blow!" Hawkgirl called out.

"Everybody stay close to me!" Superman, Naruto's clones and Flash gathered the civilians in one place before Green Lantern used his ring to encase them in a bubble then immediately took off with the others quickly following after him, and soon they escaped from the exploding factory. The black clouds are clearing away and the sunlight now shines upon the earth once more, however the heroes saw that the alien mothership was making its escape.

"Those cowardly aliens are fleeing!" said Diana angrily.

"They won't get very far though," said Naruto with a smirk.

"What do you mean?" asked Superman confusedly.

"Wait for it…"

*BOOOOOOOOOMMM!*

Everyone looked up to see the alien mothership suddenly explode in a rather massive way, then they all turned to a chuckling Zenko.

"What did you do?" asked Green Lantern.

"While I was fighting the aliens before you guys joined in, I had Sigmis carry a shadow clone up to their ship and place a lot of specially customized exploding tags then set them to detonate once they're clear of the earth's atmosphere. I'm pretty sure that no one wants these guys to go leeching off another planet," said Naruto, getting nods of understanding and agreement.

"Not to mention they were infused with my chakra, good to see that they performed up to my expectations," said Kurama proudly.

"Yeah but I think we should lay off them unless under extreme emergencies," thought Naruto.

"Whatever you say," the fox shrugged.

"But now, we need to deal with the rest of the invaders left on the planet," said Superman.

"Then let's get to it, I could use some R&R afterwards," said Naruto.

Flash nodded in agreement "You and me both pal,"


A TV switched on to display Snapper Carr standing amongst the ruins of the alien factory days later [This is Snapper Carr, in the aftermath of the Metropolis meltdown, majority of the alien invaders have been eliminated. Superman and a tag group of heroes have driven out remaining packets of resistance, helping to restore order around the world]

The screen switches to display Superman and the other heroes destroying alien walkers and factories in different countries.

[Despite this stunning victory, some are warning that we must remain vigilant]

The scene changes to a press conference with a dark-skinned military general speaking from a podium

[We got lucky this time, what will we do when another group of aliens attempt to invade our planet just like these ones almost did?]

The screen was turned off to reveal that it was Batman watching the news in his Batcave, he reclined on his seat with a hand on his chin as he thought on the statement which the general had just made.

Sometime later, a massive space station was seen orbiting the earth. Inside, Superman was looking through the window in awe at the sight of the earth.

"Incredible, do your stockholders know about this Bruce?" Superman turned towards the approaching Batman.

"A blind item hidden in the aerospace R&D budget, this watchtower will act as an early warning system for detecting other threats of invasion from space," said Batman,

The elevator door opened up for Flash and Diana who now goes by the name Wonder Woman to walk towards them while holding cups of iced mocha.

"And it has a fully stocked kitchen," said Flash, then he offered a cup to Superman "Iced Mocha?"

"No thanks," the Man of Steel politely refused.

Flash simply shrugged before sipping on the drink "Suit yourself, more for me,"

Diana sipped her own and was quite surprised with the foreign but pleasant taste "Mmmm, they don't have these on Themyscira,"

"Stick around princess, I'll show you the ropes,"

"Perhaps I will,"

"Sigmis, wait up!" everyone turned to see the phoenix flying around whilst chirping excitedly with Zenko running after the flaming bird and trying to catch it, and was able to do so successfully before turning towards the others "Sorry about that, it's our first time in outer space and Sigmis was overexcited,"

"Heh, who wouldn't?" said Flash with a shrug of his shoulders.

Then Green Lantern and Hawkgirl descended from the higher level to join the group with the former speaking up "An impressive installation, most impressive but what's it to do with us?"

Superman was silent for a moment, then he spoke "…I one thought that I could protect the world by myself…but I was wrong," he gestured through the window towards the earth "Working together, we saved the planet and I believe that if we stayed together as a team, we would be a force that could truly work for the ideals of peace and justice,"

"What? Like a bunch of super friends?" asked Flash.

Superman smiled in response "More like a…Justice League,"

"Do you have any idea how corny that sounds? But maybe the big guy's got a point, with all of us behind it, it just might work," Flash strode forward and placed his hand on Superman's own "Count me in,"

"Me too," Green Lantern joined in by placing his hand over theirs.

"And me," Hawkgirl was next.

Diana looked a bit hesitant "My mother may not approve, but I find man's world to be intriguing. I'll gladly join," she walked up to them and placed her hand over theirs. The group turned their attention towards Naruto.

"So how about it Zenko? This new club could use an awesome ninja like you," said Flash.

Naruto was at first silent for a moment before speaking up "You kinda remind me of another group which no longer exist much to my relief, but you're doing this for a much nobler cause…" then he pulled down the hood to reveal his blond spiky hair before taking off the fox mask to reveal a facemask covering the lower half of his face "…So as long as this team never strays from its main goal, then you'll always have my full support," then he joined then by placing his hands over Diana's, causing her to notice that the fingers felt soft to the touch.

Superman turned towards Batman who was standing away from them "So what about you, Batman?"

"I am not really a people person, but when you need help…and you will. Call me," Batman replied.

"Understood, then we're all agreed,"

"But wait, where's J'onn?" Diana spoke up.

Superman and Naruto were able to locate where J'onn is at the control panel and ascended to meet with him, the green Martian was silently looking out into the deep space as they approached him.

"J'onn, are you alright?" asked Superman.

"A rather dumb question to ask," said Kurama only to be shushed by Naruto.

"My family and loved ones are all gone, I am the last of my kind," said J'onn.

"I know the feeling," Superman placed a hand on the alien's shoulder in understanding, especially since he is or rather was the last Kryptonian until he met Kara.

"Now Mars is dead and I am alone in the universe,"

"You're not truly alone J'onn," Naruto getting the Martian to turn to him "You still have the bonds shared between you and the ones close to you deep within your heart. As long as you have those bonds and make new ones in addition, you'll never be alone," J'onn looked into his eyes and could see signs of loss in them and yet he still held on strongly.

"Zenko is right, we'll never replace your family but we would be honored if you could learn to call earth your home," said Superman with a smile. J'onn looked at both heroes silently for moment, then a small smile appeared on his face "Come on, the others are waiting for you too,"

The trio descended from the control panel to meet up with the rest of the newly formed Justice League, hoping that they would be well prepared for the tribulations and battles soon to occur in the future.


This is Hussbek online with the latest chapter, despite Diana's initial belief of their death, Naruto and Batman were able to escape from the white alien invaders and the latter would return to the Batcave to analyze the crystal and come up with a means to counter the alien's technology. Meanwhile J'onn and Diana regrouped with the others to rescue a captured Superman and Hawkgirl only to fall into a trap. They were then brought before the leader of the invaders and J'onn was almost killed if not for the timely intervention of Naruto and Batman. The heroes fought back and emerged victorious with the elimination of the alien invaders.

Sometime later, Batman invited the group to a recently deployed space station and there Superman suggested that they form a group which focuses on the protection of the earth potentially beyond to which they all agreed. Now the question is…what's next for Naruto and the others? Stay tuned to find out.

This is Hussbek from Ghana.
