THE WATCHTOWER: Aug 9 1:06 pm

Inside the Watchtower, the entire Justice League were present starting to begin an important meeting. They were all in the meeting room and each of them sat down.

Batman looked around and saw the heroes were present and accounted for. "We are all here today to talk about the Anomly that appeared five days ago during the Team's first mission."

"Aw man..." Green Arrow muttered to himself quietly. This topic again.

"Good because I got something to say." Black Canary said as she stood up, glaring at Batman angrily. "What on Earth makes you think that he's a potential threat to the planet? From the reports that have been given by the team, this being helped them by knocking out the last of Kobra's cult. Not to mention, Kobra himself! Not to mention the fact that from what the team said, he appears to be around their age."

"A possibly incredibly dangerous thirty foot being who was able to knock out multiple enemies without so much as twitching a finger." Batman stated, recounting the report that the Team has given him almost a week ago.

Wonder Woman simply shook her head and said, "Regardless, that alone does not mean that if we ever do meet this being, we are to automatically treat him like he is a criminal, especially since he has done nothing to warrant this kind of behavior from you."

"What was his name again?" Superman asked suddenly. Everyone turned towards him after hearing him finally speak up. "You said that the Team had asked him for his name and that he gave it to them. So, what's his name?"

Batman narrowed his eyes and said, "From what the Team said, his name was Kaido. Beast D. Kaido."

Wonder Woman, after hearing this name stood up with widened eyes and a shocked look upon her face as she looked at the Detective of the League with a look of fear that she had never shown before. "D? Your sure that they said Beast D. Kaido?!?"

"Whoa, Diana, calm down! It's only a letter. Why are you so worked up!" Asked Flash since he had never seen the Amazon so nervous before over a simple letter in someone's name.

Everyone paid attention towards the female warrior when she spoke up. "There's a little-known saying on the Themyscira, passed down from generation to generation for centuries: 'D. will bring forth a storm.' The D.s bring change, they bring upheaval and renewal… and above all, they are the enemy of the gods, whether they know it or not. And of the D.s alive in this current generation?" She chuckled weakly. "I'd have to say that Beast D, Kaido is now someone that we should be wary of."

"Hold on hold on." Superman said as he stood up. "Why exactly are you so scared Diana?"

"The D's are known for changing the world, wether it for the better or for the worst. The only true D's that I know of shared the name Beast in their lineage. And if I'm right, then this Kaido must not be angered at all costs." Explained the Amazon.

The League stared at Wonder Woman after she finished that statement.

"If we want to know who and what he is, we have to find him." Batman said.

"Oh come on Bats, he's a big giant of a kid with horns sticking out of his head. It shouldn't be too hard to find him." Flash stated in a joking manner.

"Besides he's been here for only five days. He's probably out there lost somewhere." Green Arrow added.

"We will find him." Batman stood up. "Just keep your eyes open and watch-"

The screens turned to the TV News Channel, and it was being recorded live as Vicky Vale was on it.

"Breaking News ladies and gentlemen, this is Vicky Vale coming to you live in Star City! The super villain Icicle Sr. has robbed the bank!" The screen showed the ice villain attacking the cops. "There's no sign of Green Arrow, Speedy and Black Canary but the heroes will-"

"ARGH! Ooooff!!0

The cameraman turned to Icicle Sr. and saw he had been hit very hard as he was punched right into one of the surrounding buildings walls, and by the way he gripped his shoulder and how his arm was simply limp, it didn't take a genius to know they his arm had been dislocated.

"It would seem that one of the Justice League members have arrive-"

"Wait! It wasn't someone from the League!" A woman called out as she pointed in a direction. "Look!!"

The cameraman turned to the direction and the League's eyes widened as they saw the young and very tall being that they were just talking about. He was standing right next to where Icicle Sr was before he had been punched into a wall.

The heroes watched as Vicky's eyes widened in surprise as she saw him. She turned back to the camera and smiled.

"I don't believe it! Ladies and gentlemen, it would seem that we are seeing the appearance of a brand new hero, right here in Star City!" Vicky exclaimed.

"Well that was fast." Flash smirked.

Black Canary stood up and was about to Zeta Tube back to Star City but was stopped as Batman called out to her.

"Wait a second." Batman calmly stated as he gazed at the screen.

"What do you mean 'wait a second'!? He's gonna need help!" Black Canary exclaimed.

"Just watch." Batman told her as the League watched.

Wonder Woman watched the screen as well while saying, "He will not require any assistance. This battle is already over.

STAR CITY

August 9, 2008 1:27 EST

Kaido had to admit, he did not see this coming. Once he used his cloud manipulation abilities and flew away, he was enjoying the flying. It felt incredible! Is that what birds feel when they flew? He can see why they love the feeling of flying!

After he flew off of the island of Santa Prisca , he flew across the vast ocean and up above the clouds. He stayed there for a while to contemplate all that he had accomplished so far and maybe hone his newly gifted abilities. He knew that he had all three forms of Haki, evident by how he had knocked out Kobra earlier. He tested out the range of his Observation Haki and found that he could sense and tell the difference between the lives of all the creatures below him in the ocean for about 20 miles. He clenched his hand and saw how it turned into obsidian color, showing that he was especially well versed in Armement Haki. And surprisingly, he knew some of the Six Powers, though that could be saved for another time.

His dragon form was easily over 100 feet long and was 20 feet wide. He didn't want to use his dragon fire, lest he let everyone know where he was. He discovered the extent of his control over the weather and just how destructive it could be.

When he got hungry, he finally tasted one of the Senzu Beans and discovered that it was like eating at one of your favorite restaurants. And the best part, is that he only had to eat one to sustain him for over ten days.

Once he got close, he saw a city ahead and decided to land there. It was then he found himself in a place he instantly recognized that was called Star City. He was going to explore the city before he heard an explosion. He turned to it and saw a man made of Ice come out, holding a bag filled with what looked like money. Kaido was able to recognize this villain as one Icicle Sr. One of the few Ice villains ever known. He always wondered what crime spree the ice themed villain did that landed him in Belle Reve.

But Kaido didn't have time to think about that as he saw Icicle Sr freeze everyone and everything that was in his path. That already told him he was the first person on his list to receive a major butt whooping!

So, without anyone seeing him for the moment, Kaido jumped down from his spot on the roof that he had been occupying so as to make sure no one saw him, lest they run in terror, and sucker punched the ice villain into a wall. Everyone was surprised by his entrance, but were even more surprised by his appearance and stature.

"Well well, what have we here? A new hero?" Icicle Sr. said as he pulled himself out of the wall that he had been punched into. "I'm gonna make you pay for that little sneak attack that you did." He went and fired an ice beam at him.

Kaido simply stood in place as he was frozen solid. Everyone was shocked at just how the supposed horned hero just stood in place intentionally let himself be frozen.

Icicle Sr. laughed out in what seemed to be an easy victory, but was soon interrupted by the sounds of cracking. He stopped laughing as he and everyone turned their attention towards the frozen hero, only to see large spiderweb cracks beginning to form in the ice that looked like it was seconds away from cracking. Suddenly, the ice that surrounded Kaido blew apart, showing a seemingly unaffected individual.

"You Bastard!!!" Icicle Sr. roared as he fired another ice beam, but was surprised when the horned being seemingly began to simply tank the beam and sped seemingly through it and slammed his arm into Icicle Sr's midsection with such force that, he coughed up a glob of phlegm and blood before he was thrown into the side of a car, which dented it beyond repair, but that still wasn't enough to stop the ice villain as he and the car seemingly crashed into another one of the walls of the surrounding buildings, causing a small dust cloud to obstruct everyone's view of the menace.

As soon as the small dust cloud subsided, Kaido was able to see the faint outline of the ice villain that had the gall to challenge him. Icicle Sr.'s eyes were rolled in the back of his head, showing he's unconscious. He had a broken arm, I'd the way that it was twisted was any indication, a concussion as well as some blood that was dripping down his head.

Vicky, along with the audience, were all shocked and amazed at what the horned Hero had done and the skills he displayed. The Goliath like individual seemingly took down a villain with only one punch?! What else was this being before them all, possibly capable of!?

Back at the Watchtower, the League were watching the whole thing and they too were shocked by the power that the horned teen displayed. Superman, along with Wonder Woman, who had finally managed to get a look at the new bearer of the Will of D, looked interested at the sheer amount of strength and the control that he displayed when he took down Icicle Sr.

Batman narrowed his eyes at the Individual that had the Amazon of the League, Scared from just a single letter in his name.

This individual was supposedly thirty feet tall, and had the ability to shrink down to the size that he was at right now. And the sheer physical abilities he displayed were like that of a superhuman nearing at at the level of Superman. He turns around and starts walking to the Zeta Tube.

"It's time to meet our guest." Batman said as he continued his walk to the teleportation device that the League used to go to specific locations.

As he said that everyone stood up, especially Captain Marvel as he stood up excitedly.

"Awesome! I wanna see if this guy would like to join us!" Said the weilder of the power of the Sorcerer Shazam.

Everyone stared at him, making him blink.

"What? The guy-er, kid was badass with how he took down Sr." The hero comments.

Back at Star City, Kaido watched as Icicle Sr. fell and landed face-first into the pavement. He simply looked down at the superpowered bank robber that he had beaten down.

He heard the cheers of people and saw everyone running towards him. They immediately crowded him as many reporters were asking him questions and some shaking his hands.

"That was incredible, thing you just did there, kid!" Said one of the bystanders.

"Way to go!" Another one said.

"What is the reason that has lead you to visit Metropolis?"asks one of the many reporters in the crowd.

"How old are you?"Another reporter asks while holding a tape recorder next to Kaido's face for his reply.

"Oh my gosh, he's so hot!" One of the many females in the crowd exclaimed, causing Kaido to develop a slight blush, since he originally never got any attention from the female gender.

"Are you some kind of alien like Superman?"

Kaido couldn't help but to blink at the last question. He never thought that someone would think that he was an alien? But he did have to admit, he liked the praises everyone was giving him. It felt...nice. Back home, he was never praised or thanked for anything that he had done, both in or out of work. Here though, these people only saw him a few minutes ago and they already loved him.

"Oh! Look! Look! It's the Justice League!" That caught everyone's attention as they turned around and more questions began to pop out from them along with comments.

Kaido's attention was immediately caught by this single sentence. He thought that he was going to meet just either one or two members of the Justice League. He looked and saw what everyone was looking at. There before him was one of the most famous group of superheroes ever to have known to exist. He watched as the people parted ways, to make room for the Justice League, and saw them walk to him. His eyes widened as he looked at the familiar man in blue with big 'S'.

He watched as they walked up to him while he looked at them with raised eyebrows.

"Hi there." Superman smiled. "My name is Superman, I am a member of the Justice League. May I ask you who you are?"

Kaido simply smiled and decided to have a little fun before he said, "My name is Kaido, Superman. And the pleasure is all mine. Never expected to meet the last Son of the planet Krypton."

Superman along with everyone else in the League was surprised by the statement. Not a whole lot of people knew of Superman's homeworld.

Batman knew that he would have to be careful if he was to proceed with his questioning later on.

Later

After the League's entrance, some of the members went to Icicle Sr. when they saw he tried to escape, weakly mind you since the blow that Kaido had delivered to his midsection left quite a bruise that even now, still left the ice villain winded. Icicle Sr. then went inside a Police Van and got sent somewhere.

Kaido watched as some of the League members were trying to calm the media down, as they tried to get an interview from him. He sighed to himself as he looked around some more as he was excited to see that he wasn't dreaming as he was now in one of the most well know DC universe cities.

The new King of Beasts felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up and saw an attractive woman, with long blond hair and blue eyes staring down at him, smiling gently. She had a tone slender build. She wore a black, one-piece bustier-leotard combination. Gray stockings with seams up the front and back. Black, heavy, calf-length boots. Black fingerless gloves that go past the elbow to the biceps. A blue jacket and a black choker. Her outfit did nothing to hide her generous cleavage, which if he had to take a wild guess, was probably at least a D Cup.

"Hello. How are you?" She asked as she sat down next to him.

Kaido couldn't help but return the smile and said, "I'm doing fine. Just didn't expect all of this when I made my way to civilization." He comments before he waves his hand at the place where the so called 'battle' between him and Icicle Sr took place..

"Yeah, same here. None of us thought that we would be meeting a new hero today either. Oh but where are my manners? My name is Black Canary. It's nice to meet you." Black Canary introduced herself as Kaido nodded. "You know, I saw you fighting on the news. It was amazing."

Kaido simply shook his head and said, "It wasn't anything special. The guy was pretty weak to me. Not even very hard to take him down."

Canary didn't doubt his words, but couldn't help but think on it. Icicle Sr wasn't a problem for some of the more stronger members of the League but could still give some of them a trying time. She then decided to ask him a question that was on her mind since the moment she heard of the Teams first encounter with him. "If you don't mind me asking, and I hope that this doesn't offend you, but what exactly are you?"

Kaido couldn't help but chuckle at the inevitable question and simply said, "I'm a partial giant. I can shrink myself down to this size but my true height is around twenty nine to thirty feet tall.

Black Canary couldn't believe what she was hearing. Sure the Team said that he was tall when they first laid their eyes on him and that he seemingly shrunk down somewhat, she didn't expect for his true height to be at the one that he had revealed. Even more surprising that he said that he was a half Giant. If he was a half giant, she would be pretty darn shaocked to see just how tall a full giant was. She then decided to try and ask him about how old he was, since she was curious about how young he appeared to be.

"That's really incredible. It's not really common though to see a person of your stature." Black Canary commented while trying not to be offensive. "How old are you exactly? I'm curious since you look to be around Twenty."

Kaido realized what would happen if he revealed his current age, and while he could say that he was twenty something, he didn't want to be caught in a lie, not that he needed to lie anyway, so he decided to bite the proverbial bullet and simply said, "Actually, I'm over sixteen years old."

"You're sixteen?" Canary shockingly said, in disbelief at this revalation.

Kaido simply nodded while smirking at her shocked look. "How old were you when you gained your powers? My first time was in high school." Canary revealed as she was now even more curious of the horned being before her.

Kaido knew that he only had his powers for about nearly a full day but decided to go with the flow. "I was born with my strength. Even as a newborn, my parents had to be careful around me " Black Canary thought.

While she was so deep in thought, she didn't notice Kaido standing up and stretching his limbs out. He turns around to leave only to stop as a red blur appeared in front of him making him blink in surprise.

"Hey hold on a sec there, dude" The Flash said. "Where are you going off to in such a hurry?"

Kaido simply shrugged his shoulders in response and scratched his head right near one of his horns and said, "I was actually going to have a little tour of the city."

"You're not going anywhere." Said a voice that Kaido instantly knew and cautious of ever since he watched and read anything of the DCAU.

Kaido looked behind himself and saw a man in bat costume walking to him, a scowl on his face. He instantly knew this man by many names. The Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader, the Worlds Greatest Detective, or as he was wildly know, "The Batman".

"You are an anomaly. A complete unknown. We have questions for you and we want answers." Batman said.

Kaido knew that this was just Batman being his normal paranoid self, but he wasn't going to go with him after he just finished his first fight. He was excited to just look around one of the most historical DCAU cities. So with a snort, Kaido turns around to leave and starts to walk away but stopped when Batman grabbed him by his shoulder.

"That wasn't a-" Batman stopped as Kaido grabbed Batman's hand and flipped him over his shoulder, slamming him onto the ground so hard that he left a crater, and by how he grunted, he may have winded him a bit from the force of the impact.

The League were surprised at the show of strength the teen before them demonstrated, but shouldn't have been surprised after they saw how he defeated Icicle Sr. They watched as he jumped back away from Batman and took a defensive stance, eyes narrowing at the Dark Knight as he stood up.

Kaido was about to walk away from the groaning form of Batman but stopped when he hear a series of beeping noises. He looked at his shoulder cape and saw a black bat shaped device with blinking red light in the middle. Kaido took it off and stared at in confusion, thinking that maybe it was probably a small explosive, that was before red smoke erupted from it and into his face, making him throw the device away as he coughed.

He didn't know why but he suddenly began to feel very sleepy. He then saw Batman stand up through drooping eyes, and figured that the smoke was probably a sleeping agent. He figured that if he was going to be knocked out, he would at least say one last thing before he succumbed to the darkness of sleep, just loud enough for Batman to hear. "Nice move, Rich Boy."

This immediately caused Batman to go wide eyed in shock at how the person of interest before him could possibly know of his secret identity.

Kaido fell on one knee before he slumped onto the ground, and before he was fully knocked out, he was able to see both Black Canary and Superman looking at him in concern and worried before Canary turned to yell at Batman. That was all he saw as he went to sleep.

WATCHTOWER

Inside the Medical Wing, Kaido was on a bed snoring softly. His cloak and pouch were sitting on a desk right beside him. Right in front of the bed were Black Canary, Batman, and Martian Manhunter.

"Dinah, he's an anomaly. We need to find out more about him." Batman said.

"That still doesn't give you the right for what you did to him Bruce! He's only 16!" Dinah exclaimed before turning to J'onn. "And J'onn you can't just enter his mind like he's some sort of criminal!"

"I know Dinah and I apologize, but Batman is correct. We just need confirmation that he is simply not a threat."

Dinah, as much as she hated to admit it, knew he was right. The teen was strong and she had heard his last words to Batman before he succumbed to slumber, but going into his memories while he's asleep is just wrong! They all have personal privacy that needs to stay that way, but to have to do something like this makes her sick.

She sighed to herself and shook her head, before she resigningly said, "Fine."

Batman and J'onn looked at each other before Batman nodded his head. The Martian walked up to Kaido and touched his forehead as his eyes glowed red.

As soon as J'onn entered the horned giants mind he was met by a pure dark mindscape and a single locked door. He made his way over to the door and tried to force his way in, but was soon stopped by the sound of what he presumed to be growling. Turning around, he was instantly greeted to, in both his astonishment and fear, a blue dragon that seemed to be glaring hatefully down upon his form.

But was soon shocked when it suddenly spoke and said, "GET OUT OR MY HEAD!!!!!!"

After this was exclaimed, J'onn immiediatly felt himself being ejected from the mindscape.

Out in the real world, only a few seconds had passed since J'onn attempted to enter Kaido's mind. And so, the other two heroes in the room were shocked at the sight of their friend being flung from his spot and into the wall of the infirmary, knocking him out due to the force of the blast.

Both Canary and Batman rushed to their Martian ally and tried to wake him up, but to no avail. Batman instantly turned his attention towards the still sleeping form of Kaido and thought, "This is going to be a long day."

New chapter!!! Whoo. Hope you like. Will try to update Protoge of Sin next, but only time will tell.
