All-Out Brawl
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters in this fic, they are owned by the respective owners and studios. This is just a fun little idea I came up with. And please, none of those silly debates about who is stronger than who and this guy would win against this one, it's just for fun.
Note: Hey everyone! Just a quick note to apologise to everyone who has waited patiently for this story, I've had loads of things distract me, college being the main one. Also had a bit of a writer's block a while back, but now I'm here and ready to bring you the next chapter. This one isn't as long as the others, it's just more like a bridge between the last chapter and the next, which will arrive very soon! Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 4
Since the little scuffle with the incredible Hulk earlier, and some distrust amongst the warriors, things seemed to have settled down between them as they prepared to rest for the night; well at least what they assumed was night as the sky above them darkened and the stars became brighter. Willow began to tend to Bruce and Neo who were still shaken up from their fight earlier, although from the beatings the group took the witch was really behind with bringing them all back to 100%.
As Goku used one of his Ki energy blasts to start a fire from some wood that Superman had gathered, and then for no apparent reason flinched and burst out laughing earning looks from all the others. ''Care to tell the group what's so funny?'' Superman asked a little puzzled by this fighter's behaviour.
Goku's laughter had quietened down as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. ''I almost forgot, I actually have something here that'll help everyone get better quicker!'' He reached into his pockets and brought out a small brown sack, reaching inside he pulled out what looked like an ordinary green bean.
''What is that?'' Bruce asked as Goku had everyone's attention.
''It's called a Senzu bean! Just eating one of these will heal any injury and bring you back up to full strength. I can't believe I couldn't remember I still had these on me.''
No one moved from their spot, baffling Goku at first until Kratos, who was standing guard away from the group, approached and spoke the minds of everyone in camp. ''How are we to know that these beans are…edible?''
''What you think I poisoned them?''
''That's a possibility!''
''No, no, these really do work, look I'll eat one for myself!'' And with that Goku threw the one in his hand up into the air, and it fell back down into his wide, waiting mouth. The others waited in anticipation for a few seconds, then in the blink of an eye, all of Goku's scratches and scars disappeared instantly, leaning them shocked. ''See!'' He said.
However, Kratos still wasn't convinced. ''What if you're the only one that can eat them?''
''Oh come on!''
He wasn't going to be getting through to the ex-God of War any time soon, so he held the bag up in front of Superman, silently asking him to try one. Superman just simply stared at them for a few seconds. ''From what I can see there's nothing in there I can recognise, all the vitamins and minerals in it are different from anything I've seen.''
''You can see the minerals in it?'' Neo asked. He weakly got up and then he took looked at the bean to make sure. ''Nothing I can recognise either, I can't desirer the codes.''
''Codes? Minerals?'' Goku said with annoyance. ''Guys I swear, it's just a simple bean. Trust me, it will heal you!''
Superman considered as many options as possible, although there weren't that many. He turned to Willow quickly. ''Willow, how long would it take you to fully heal the group?''
''Oh um…I don't know, a few days maybe? I've never had to heal this amount of damage from so many people, not to mention the aura of all of us is somehow different, so it could even be a couple of weeks at most.''
''Fine then!'' Kratos called out. ''I will take one!'' He reached over about to take one from Goku's hand, when Superman stopped him with his own hand.
''No, I'll test them, just in case!'' Superman ordered. Kratos was reluctant to listen to the Man of Steel, so use to being his own man and leader. But he saw for himself how powerful this man was, and if he was willing to risk his life on this miracle food, so be it. As Kratos backed off, the Kryptonian stepped forward, took a bean from Goku and ate one. Straight away feeling the effects as his wounds healed and he felt a new burst of life and energy. ''Wow, don't worry everyone, they're fine!''
''I'll say better than fine!'' Willow mumbled noticing Superman's posture and expression of amazement. She took another bean from Goku's bag and ate one herself, feeling her strength and power returning to her and then some. ''Whoa, are you sure these things aren't illegal in your world?''
Soon enough Neo and Bruce took some as well, and despite some persistence from Kratos that he doesn't need them and it's against the Spartan's code to be offered medical aid from non-Spartans, he eventually gave in and took one, and was also impressed with the results. With everyone back to full strength, and darkness now covering the land, the restful night seemed all the more easy for them as they sat around the fire to keep warm as Kratos volunteered to watch out for any attacks.
The quietness of the night was interrupted by the grumbling of Goku's stomach as he moaned heavily. ''I'm starving, I haven't eaten since I got here.''
''Speaking of which we have no clue how we got here, or where here is!'' Willow pointed out.
''It may be another world,'' Superman stated. ''Although I can never fully explore the whole universe, I know most of it well, and this planet is unlike any I've visited before. Even the stars in the distance are unrecognisable.''
''Same here,'' Goku agreed. ''This planet isn't one I'm too familiar with.''
Bruce then interjected his theory. ''Perhaps it's possible we've all been transported to a different dimension.''
''You think so?'' Willow asked.
''Like I say, perhaps it's possible.''
''Hold on,'' Neo cut in. ''So what planet are we all from?''
''Earth!'' The same answer from everyone in the group all at the same time.
''So if we're all from the same world, don't you think we all should have heard of each other. I think Bruce is right, this is a completely new world we're on, one that none of us will recognise.''
''This is just painting a hand more red by the second!'' Willow went on. ''Someone had to have done this, someone extremely powerful if they could do it too all of us without our knowledge. Not to mention that it's someone we know if they can send former enemies after us.''
''Then we have to find whoever did it,'' Superman summed up. ''If they've transported us here, and know about us, then realistically they should still be watching us. But we won't look tonight, let's rest up, and make a move at first light.''
''If this planet ever turns light again.'' Neo muttered.
Following that conversation was another moment of silence in the group, once again this silence was interrupted by the grumbling of Goku's stomach. ''Hey, can we talk about something else, just to get my mind off the fact that I'm so hungry!''
''What should we even talk about?'' Bruce asked.
''Ourselves,'' Superman said. ''I think we're all victims of some force of evil, they thought they could defeat us by pitting us against each other. But now we know we're not enemies, we can be allies together. And my parents told me the best way to make friends, is to just simply talk.''
''Okay so who wants to start?'' Willow asked nervously. ''Please not me, my introductions never turn out to be good and tend to get worse whenever I hear others better and more interesting introductions.''
''Don't worry I'll start,'' Superman said. ''I may have been going by my name Superman, but I also have two names. My home planet name Kal-El, and my earth name Clark Kent. When my planet was destroyed I escaped thanks to a capsule created by my father Jor-El and escape the destruction. Landing on Earth and raised by a kindly couple; I wanted to repay how good the Earth had been to me, giving me friends that I care about and a woman that I love with all my heart, by becoming it's protector along with other heroes fighting for what's right.''
''Aw,'' Willow cooed and then cursed herself as all eyes drifted to her. ''Guess it's my turn then. Hi, I'm Willow, witch extraordinaire. I've only been at this for a few years now but I've helped save the world with my friends on numerous occasions. And yeah…that's pretty much all the interesting stuff, anyone else?''
''I'll go,'' Bruce offered. ''I'm Doctor Bruce Banner a physicists, until a gamma accident happened, and somehow I turn into this…monster, this Hulk whenever I get angry. When I am the Hulk I can't control it, that's no longer me, the Hulk is just pure power…''
''Then remind us never to get you angry again!'' Willow teased.
Bruce smiled before continuing. ''Although, there are times when the Hulk has saved lives and helped others, so I still believe there is some control I have over its mind. That's why I've given up looking for a cure, I've tried loads of times but they never work. All I can do now is hope to control the Hulk and let it become something good for our world by protecting it.''
With Bruce's story over, everyone then looked over to Neo next. He shook his head playfully. ''I have to warn you, this story could be confusing to some.''
''Aliens from other worlds, witches, not-so-jolly green giants! I think we can handle it.'' Willow joked.
''Well the world I come from isn't even a real world, it's sort of like images created by computers to keep the human world from thinking they're not real. Only a few know about it, they call it the Matrix. And I'm this chosen one that stopped the machines from keeping the humans trapped in this wasteland which…''
''Huh?'' Goku said. ''Sorry I kind of got lost, so the machines have got who now?''
''Don't worry about it, just that thanks to computer hacking into my head, I know how to fight and protect my world from the machine threat.''
''That was easier to understand,'' Goku said then realising everyone had turned to him now. ''Well I guess it's my turn then. Like Superman I also come from a destroyed world, only mine is gone because of an evil tyrant. I was raised on Earth, learned martials arts from many masters and now look for any opponent that I know is strong and will keep me on my toes.''
''So from the sounds of it,'' Superman said. ''We're all heroes from our respective Earths, we must be each the strongest of it and…''
''Me? The strongest? Cool!'' Willow said. ''Oh sorry did I interrupt? Sorry, go on!''
Ignoring her comments, Superman continued. ''So whoever did this to us must have some way of looking into different dimensions and have enough power to bring us here.'' Everyone in the group agreed with Superman's statement, someone brought them here and they needed to find out who and why.
''Hey, what about Kratos?'' Goku said pointing to the Spartan behind him. ''Hey you never told us your story!'' He called out to him.
''And I don't plan too!'' Was his reply.
''Oh come on, it's fun!'' Goku tried once more, but Kratos wouldn't budge from his spot, causing the Saiyan to groan in disappointment.
Willow pated on his shoulders. ''Don't worry, I can always read his mind later on. He's probably just one of those macho men that hides the tears and sappy stories.''
Just when it seemed like the group would finally settle down and rest for the night, the silence was interrupted yet again by the grumbling of Goku's stomach. He chuckled lightly. ''Say Willow, you can use magic right? Would you be able to summon some food or something? I'm starving.''
''How can you still be hungry?'' Bruce asked. ''Those bean things you gave us made me feel like I'm about to burst.''
''Oh yeah, Senzu beans can keep a human full for up to 5 days, so you guys should be fine. But I'm not human so I need a lot more to eat!'' He smiled.
FIVE HOURS LATER
Kratos hadn't moved from his watching spot at all since the group had settled down, he was use to this by now, years of training as well as the powers of a God and giving by Gods and Titans a like. Thankfully there had been no real threat since earlier, although Kratos would much rather fight something then stand around just waiting for something to happen.
''Anything?'' Superman called out as he stood next to Kratos.
''No!''
''Then we better make a move now.''
''Finally!''
The others in the group walked by next to the two of them. Bruce being the first one to state the obvious. ''We don't even know where to go!''
''Goku,'' Superman called out. ''Can you use that power sensing you used before to find Hulk and Kratos?''
''Yeah sure!'' Goku said as he stood at the front of the group, holding two fingers to his forehead he put all his focus around any area of the planet he could, trying to sense even the slightest power that could give them some lead. After a minute or so of concentrations, he came across something. ''It's faint, but there's something a good few miles from here, but I can't tell what exactly.''
''Let me try!'' Willow said as her eyes started turning pale white, as did her hair. Holding out her hands, white aura danced around the fingertips, not too long she returned to normal. ''It's like a magic sort of aura, but not any I'm familiar with.''
''Hopefully one that won't affect me!'' Superman said mostly to himself. ''Come on then, let's move out!''
To Be Continued...
