DC vs Namco Spectrum

Chapter 8: The Convergence

(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.

Apokolips

3 days before the Convergence

The throne room of the king of Apokolips, Darkseid. He has his attention on the master computer but still knows something is coming through his Boom Tube generator.

Darkseid: "I know all those in Apokolips who can access my Boom Tubes and other machines. Yet I do not know you, human. Explain." Kazuya is the one to walk in.

Kazuya: "You must be Lord Darkseid. My name is Kazuya Mishima, and I'm afraid that I'm not from this planet... or this universe, even. My universe is one where many heroes have escaped death countless times. And I believe you might like what you see."

Darkseid: "And what exactly is it that you are proposing, Mishima? Not only that, but what is your goal here? I am no fool. I know a man with personal interest when I see one."

Kazuya: "Hmph! Smarter than you look. I like it. Though my proposal is for my interest, it does benefit you as well. My goal is to find a stronger opponents than that of my own world, to finally get strong enough to destroy my son. And to access them with ease, I suggest a union of our two universes, have them reborn as one. And this benefits you as it'll align with your goal to conquer universes as their king."

Darkseid: "And what of you?"

Kazuya: "Ruling the world was never my goal. Killing my father and son are all I care about."

Darkseid: "Hm... I see. But regardless of my power, something like combining universes would require something extraordinarily powerful."

Kazuya: "Such as your world Lantern Corps?" Darkseid stands there dead silent. "You didn't think I came to your universe without doing my research, did you."

Darkseid: "Hmph! Smarter than you look. I am not familiar with all of the Lantern Corps planets, but I do know someone who is."

Apokolips

2 days before the Convergence

Now in Darkseids briefing room, he is meeting alone with Black Hand.

BH: "Lord Darkseid. You summoned me?"

Darkseid: "I require your services in gathering the seven colors of the Lantern Corps."

BH: "If I may ask, why do you require their services?"

Darkseid: "I grow tired of this one universe. I wish to conquer another and I believe they will suffice in assistance. As for how they will help, that's on a need to know basis and you don't need to know."

BH: "Fair enough. If it helps, I sense two colors lost without a host, they will be easy to gather... I have have already gathered one: the Ring of Hope..."

Darkseid: "And the other?"

BH: "The Ring of Fear... but I sense it may be lost... I can't seem to find it in this universe."

Darkseid: "Not lost..." He opens a Boom Tube and it shows the city of Tokyo but it looks different from what they've been. "But concealed. Somewhere within this other universe. But something artificial is keeping us from tracking it."

BH: "Us maybe. But I think I know someone who might be able to... an earth criminal known as Lex Luthor."

Apokolips

1 day before the Convergence

In Darkseids lab seeing other worlds Tokyo again through the Boom Tube. Lex is in his super suit... but no AIDA claw yet.

Lex: "Hm... An interesting proposition, Black Hand. However, what are you to do to stop me from backstabbing you and taking these rings for myself."

BH: "You cannot use my power without dying first human. And one such as yourself cannot perfectly use every emotion in the spectrum. I doubt someone like you could easily change to use something like love or compassion. But help me find the Ring of Fear and this city and it's technology can be yours."

Lex: "A power that could possibly rival the Lantern Corps."

BH: "This Boom Tube will take us to the city's edge." As they go through. "But the interference we're receiving."

Lex: "Oh please." He pulls up several hologram screens. "First I'll track down where the interference is coming from and the go on from there." He takes a few moments doing his thing. "Hm... It seems the problem isn't interference per se, but that the ring is within something artificial. I have pinpointed its energy to be coming from a well known digital world. An online game known as The World by CC Corp."

BH: "And how do we recover it?"

Lex: "With the help of my new neuro-link, if I wish to enter The World then I need simply will it so." As he puts on a device over his eyes. His consciousness has now entered the Outer Dungeon. "Now then, I simply need to track down the ring from here..." He pulls up his screens again but then he hears something behind him... it sounded like a gun cock.

???: "I would stay right there if I were you." Behind him was Ovan, with his gun in his right hand and holding it point blank at the back of Lex's head. His left hand has a smaller gun and his left shoulder has a the Tri-Edge AIDA claw in its Kusabira design.

Lex: "Hm... I suppose I should've seen this coming."

Ovan: "Noe when you said ring, did you mean..." He put away his smaller gun and pulled out the Ring of Fear. "this?"

Lex: "Where did you get that?"

Ovan: "I should be asking who you are. You don't look like a normal character from The World."

Lex: "With a claw like that, I think you know how that feels. My name is Lex Luthor, I was looking for that ring to find my way home."

Ovan: "Home?"

Lex: "Yes. My friend and I got lost and so I scouted ahead to find the ring we lost to get home. We're not exactly from here."

Ovan: "I see... I just found this in the Hulle Granz Cathedral and came here to investigate it with what little time I have."

Lex: "What do you mean by that?"

Ovan: "This world will be ending here in a few days and a new one will be born."

Lex: "I see." 'That claw keeps intriguing me. This energy signature is definitely interesting. Perhaps it may be useful.' "I don't believe I've got your name."

Ovan: "..."

Lex: "Well?"

Ovan: "Ovan. And if you want your ring back, then you and your fiend meet me at these coordinates tomorrow." As he hands Lex an item with instructions and then disappears.

Creators Room

Day of the Convergence

The next day, Lex gave Black Hand a neuro-link of his own to enter The World with him and they found the location Ovan wanted to meet them.

Ovan: "Welcome to the Creators Room. A room deep within The Worlds Black Box left by its brilliant creator, Harald Hoerwick. A room that not even the Admin observation system, the Serpent of Lore, couldn't detect."

BH: "Making it the perfect place to negotiate the return of the Ring of Fear." They didn't that Luthor was pretending to wander in curiousity, only to get back Ovan and backstab him... literally. Ovan dropped to his knees and Luthor took advantage of this to take the AIDA Infection from Ovan.

Lex: "Gaaaaaaargh!"

BH: "Luthor...!" Lex now has an aura AIDA particles.

Lex: "Heheh! I'm afraid I'm not the same Lex Luthor that I was before. Not only that... but the terms of our deal have changed!" As he takes the Ring of Fear away from Ovan.

BH: "Disappointing... You have made a grave mistake Luthor!"

Lex: "Oh no... Everything is going according to plan."

Lex Luthor with the Fear power ring vs Black Hand with the Hope power ring.

Theme: Injustice 2-Bloodbath

With Black Hand down, Luthor has taken the Ring of Hope and the AIDA within has changed behavior, resulting in the Tri-Edge claw growing from Luthor's left shoulder.

Lex: "Fool! You have given me the tool of your own destruction! The union of our two universes shall rest in MY hands now!" A bright light occurs. When the light clears we cut back to our heroes on Wayne Towers roof and Batman, Flynn and Starfire wake up.

Batman: "Huh, what do you know?"

Justice League Watchtower

92 days since the Convergence

Cyborg: "The dispersal of toxin was relatively limited. No more than ten blocks of Gothanu have been exposed, and at minimal levels. It could have been much worse."

Jin: "But we WERE exposed."

Urashima: "Yep. I can confirm that much. I'm detected traces in everyone's system. Organic and artificial alike."

Xiaoyu: "How much longer until we turn?"

Urashima: "I can't exactly make an exact estimate for that. The best rough estimate I can come up with would be hours rather than days. And as strong as it was, the Data Drain technique from both Kites bracelet AND Haseo's avatar couldn't save us as this is the first time we've seen it in the form of a gas. I can tell the Data Drain was able to slow down AIDA's progress, but if you want to cure yourselves... then Lex Luthor and Tri-Edge MUST be stop!" Superman steps up for a speech.

Superman: "You've all fought well, and with honor. We've lost allies and friends. No one could ask any more of you... and yet I must. Lex Luthor has three rings of the Electromagnetic Spectrum... Fear, Hope and Will Power, as well as the powerful Tri-Edge AIDA. We have ourselves also have three... but if we're to stop Lex Luthor, stop AIDA, we need a fourth... We need the Ring of Greed."

BH: "Kazuya Mishima has returned to Dark Azarath with the Ring of Greed in his possession."

Heihachi: "If the Ring is want you want then I'll gladly take on Kazuya myself and get it for you."

Jin: "Hmph! Fat chance! Kazuya Mishima is mine!"

Xiaoyu: "Jin, please calm down! I can't let you do that! Same goes for you Heihachi!"

Haseo: "She's right!" They all look up to see Haseo at the top of a staircase leading to another room. "We can't let either of you go after Kazuya."

Jin: "And why not?"

Haseo: "Because there's a slim chance you'll both forget what's at stake and let your personal vendetta against him get in the way. With that a fight between you two and Kazuya will take way too much time, and with this AIDA toxin, we definitely don't have that kind of time. Which is why I volunteer to handle Kazuya and get the ring."

Superman: "You're sure?"

Haseo: "I'm the type of person who gets the job done quick. I'll try not to waste too much time."

Jin: "What are you, crazy? You have no idea what your getting into-!"

Superman: "That's enough! Haseo is right: we can't let time be wasted with personal grudges. Your request is granted Haseo."

Urashima: "Um, that's great and all, but even if we manage to retrieve the ring, we still can't regulate the rings power yet."

Nightwing: "Way to bring down the mood Doctor Downer..."

Batman: "As much as I hate to admit it, she's right. After Luthor's attack the other day, the towers power supply has been drained. All we can do right now with the backup power is keep this place afloat and run the main computers basic functions. We don't have enough power to do a big task like construct a powerful device."

BH: "Even if you had enough power, Luthor knows where both this place AND Wayne Tower is, meaning he can try to stop you in the midst of creating it. But there is an alternative."

MM: "What is that?"

BH: "The Creators Room. A part of The World R:2's Outer Dungeon."

Haseo: "How do you know about that?"

BH: "I was there for the Convergence. The Creators Room was the epicenter of the event. The room itself still remains."

Starfire: "But just what is the Creators Room?"

Haseo: "The Worlds creator, Harald Hoerwick, left a Block Box somewhere in The World. The Creators Room is a place that exist deep within that block, holding all of The Worlds wisdom, as my friend Ovan put it."

BH: "I met this Ovan myself before the Convergence. He claimed that something called the Serpent of Lore couldn't even detect the room."

Lindow: "The Serpent of Lore?"

Haseo: "A room that acts as The Worlds surveillance system."

BH: "Ovan is also where Luthor gained AIDA and the Ring of Fear. Ovan is Tri-Edges original host. Luthor killed Ovan and stole the Tri-Edge as well as the ring."

Batman: "At least we know where Lex got those things. Regardless of that, Black Hands not wrong... not about the rooms privacy at least."

Alisa: "How are you so sure of this?"

Batman: "...I'm Batman."

Alisa: "Again with that cryptic ass answer..."

BH: "Take me there, and I will help you complete your device."

Batman: "As for what we're going to use, that Blastia technology is the best we got. Flynn? Do we have any Blastia on hand?"

Flynn: "We have some in the cargo hold if it'll help. You'll need my help to piece it together."

Batman: "Works with me."

Lindow: "And about the rest of us? What are we doing?"

WW: "We'll take the fight to Luthor-keep him occupied."

Alisa: "You know, we barely made it out of there last time."

Robin: "But this time is different. The Ring of Hope is cracked. He's hurt-vulnerable."

Yuri: "And were desperate."

Starfire: "But we're not alone." A moment of silence.

BH: "You must strike now. Before he repair the damage... and before this virus consumes you all." Superman then faces both Batman and Haseo standing next to each other.

Superman: "Understand, everything depends on you two-on the Ring of Greed, and the device. If you fail..."

Batman: "Hey, this is Batman you're talking about. I'll get the job done."

Haseo: "Seriously... we've got this."

WW: "Don't worry, Kal. I believe they can do this." Nightwing then speaks with Starfire as she's on her way out with Black Hand.

Nightwing: "Listen-do NOT let your guard down with that guy-even for a second. I'm serious."

Starfire: "They say Black Hand risked his life for us."

Nightwing: "Except he doesn't have a life... Just watch your back, OK?" Cut to Yuri and Flynn crossing swords before departing again.

Flynn: "This is it, old friend. See you on the other side." To which Yuri just nods with a smirk on his face.
