DC vs Namco Spectrum

Chapter 3: The Ring of Rage

(Note: I do NOT own any of the characters of DC or Bandai Namco. I simply own my idea here.)

Note: I will not be writing descriptions on how the fights go. I'm gonna let you guys imagine that for yourselves.

Hacker Ship

90 days since the Convergence

BH: "The Ring of Compassion is also concealed on earth within the remains of Brainiacs crashed ship not far from Gothanu..." The inside of the ship shows signs of an @HOME from The World R:2 and judging by the scrambled data... Brainiac has joined alliances with The Worlds more nefarious hackers. Kite has now entered the ship and is sneaking through the entrance hall.

Kite: "Now then... Watchtower, come in. I'm inside. Batman? No response... must be interference from the hacks in this place... I would Data Drain this place but I don't wanna get caught. I wish I wasn't sent on this mission alone... that's just a risk if I run into an enemy." Then we here a voice from above.

???: "Well then consider your wish granted." A man in black known as Nightwing, with his red logo, drops from the ceiling.

Kite: "Nightwing... haven't seen you for long while."

Nightwing: "Good to see you to. Phew, even though it looks a bit different I can never get over this place. Bats called, figured you could use some help."

Kite: "Thanks, I appreciate it. I feel a lot more confident now."

Nightwing: "Right! So... let's uh... huh?" He turns to see two of Brainiacs drones covered in a strange pattern of glowing green hexagons.

Kite: *gasps*"Data Bugs!?"

Nightwing: "That doesn't sound good..."

They finally protect break and Kite uses his Drain Arc to Data Drain them both which removes the hexagons, and Nightwing finishes them with his electric pitons to decapitate them.

Kite: "There. Enemies gone." Nightwing sees an alarm in his mask.

Nightwing: "No... there's something else here..." He draws a wingding and throws it at the control pad for a nearby door and it opens and comes out... "Kogoro Tenzai... I should've known."

Kogoro: "You say that like its a bad thing."

Kite: "It's not, but why are you here?"

Nightwing: "Yeah, you may be in Shinra but this isn't exactly your field, you know."

Kogoro: "Well, someone has to fight in the field with Arisu and Xiaomu gone. And to answer your question: I'm here on an investigation. Some odd rumors about disappearances and monster sightings have been going around lately in Gothanu so decided to look more into, Ive discovered that every one of these incidents happened within a three mile radius of this vessel. Way to sketchy to be a coincidence... It just so happens that I decided to do a stakeout when you showed up. I get the feeling this could be connected to what Luthor is doing. If we're after the same thing then why not cooperate here?"

Kite: "Thank you. Our party was looking short anyway."

Nightwing: "Oh, that hurts." They continue until they reach the containment hall. A room full of stasis pods with humanoid figures inside.

Kogoro: "I don't have the words for what I'm seeing right now."

Nightwing: "No...! He's turning people into his drone lackeys!"

Kite: "He also seems to be infecting his subject's with Data Bug virus that made monsters invincible in The World. My bracelet was by far the only method of removing the virus in a fight." Then Kogoro eyes a particular capsule.

Kogoro: "Guys, check it! We got a fresh one... it's a soldier... Sänger Zonvolt..." Sänger appears to be unconscious inside the capsule.

Nightwing: "Is he alive?" That's when Sänger's eyes suddenly shoot open and he breaks out, forcing Kogoro to teleport back a little and draw his weapon.

Sänger: "You just kidnapped the wrong warrior, evildoer!" Speaking in a German accent. As he draws his large broadsword, the Type-0 Reishiki Zankantou.

Sänger is lying on the ground after that fight but...

Kogoro: "Hey hey hey! Calm down, we're not-" He was interrupted by Sänger grabbing his sword and swinging at him as he got back up.

Sänger: "I'm not out of this fight, yet!" He swings his sword down to which Kogoro blocks it with his weapon and keeps him in a hold, while trying to reason with him.

Kogoro: "We're here to rescue you!" Kite tried to get him from behind which broke the hold but Sänger swung his blade again, making Kite step back. This is when Nightwing decided to step in.

Sänger: "Nightwing!? What is going on here!?"

Nightwing: "Long story, cadet. Do you remember how you got here?"

Sänger: "I was patrolling at the edge of Gothanu on security detail."

Kogoro: "Argh! With THAT sword? Feels like your compensating for something..."

Sänger: "Next thing I know, I'm here, smiting the likes of Tenzai."

Kogoro: "And technically not for the first time."

Sänger: "Where exactly are we, anyway?"

Kite: "Hold on... I hear someone..." They open up another room and hide behind the door frame. It's Brainiacs collection room.

Nightwing: "There he is! Brainiac himself. The alien android running this place." Brainiac is at his main computer filing some information and he's talking with someone hidden in the shadows of the room. Who ever he is, he's standing next to Brainiacs attempted copy at a Slideways Teleporter the Justice League to travel between allied planets.

Brainiac: "The parasite doesn't seem to be mutating as planned. I will require more time."

???: "Except we don't have anymore time. We need the parasite at full strength NOW. Perhaps your scrapheap of a mind is clouded by that ring." Sure enough, Brainiac has the Ring of Rage on his finger.

Brainiac: "My processor is unmatched! You shall have your army in time... Now leave me so I may work."

???: "Hmph! Just don't fail me, Brainiac." We can see a single red eye glowing in the darkness. The man then enters the teleporter, which is when our heroes decide to enter.

Nightwing: "Sounds like your having trouble with your lab partner, huh?"

Brainiac: "You...! I don't have for the likes of you..." He jumps and land atop one of the silver orbs floating in the room containing a shrunken city. "Go forth my creations!" More Data Bugged Brainiac drones enter.

Hint: Brainiac will be firing projectiles from the background as well as using the Rage Rings powers.

After dealing with them, another, much larger figure enters the room...

Kite: "No... it can't be...!"

Nightwing: "Friend of yours?" The monster says nothing and it taps its red wand on the ground and then points it at Kite.

Kite: "Skeith..."

Brainiac: "Hahahaha! The Terror of Skeith has been waiting for you, DotHacker Kite!

Skeith: "..." He merely swings his wand into position.

Sänger: "Your silent ways can't hide your evil me, monster!"

Upon successfully Data Draining Skeith, Sänger ends this fight by completely cutting Skeith weakened state in half with his colossal blade.

Brainiac: "No! My one of a kind specimen!"

Nightwing: "Whats with all this crap anyway, Brainiac?"

Brainiac: "I've used by upgraded mind control power to take control of the human hackers responsible for the virus that made monsters invincible, as well in aiding me in an attempt to recreate the supposed legendary 8 Phases of Morganna! But it seems I still need to recalculate the schematics..."

Kite: "That won't be happeing! Hand over the ring!"

Brainiac: "Fools! You'll never take the-" As he showed the ring off, Nightwing used his grapple line to grab and yank the ring off his finger. "Aaaah! The Rage Ring!" Then the teleporters portal starts going nuts. "No! Nooooo!"

Nightwing: "Shut it down! Shut it down NOW!" Sänger tries cutting the portal frame with his blade which leaves a dent but it's not shutting off.

Sänger: "I can't! Somethings forcing its way through!"

Brainiac: "Hahahaha! It's here! Our masterpiece! You will regret ever crossing the likes of I!" Something absolutely humongous made of some strange brown ooze starts coming through the portal.

Nightwing: "Oh boy... We need to go... We need to go NOW!" They all get out of there with whatever this is chasing after them.
