We are shown a countryside with a quiet looking house that was shown in the mountains.
"This looks like something out of Little House on the Prairie." Cherry commented.
They soon saw Atticus looking in through the window of the house. It seemed to be a peaceful evening so far.
"Oh, Patrick, he's such a beautiful baby boy." Emily smiled to her husband.
"He sure is, Emily." Patrick smiled back.
Atticus couldn't help but stare at his parents since he hadn't really seen them before as they soon put him in his crib to let him get some sleep. Emily and Patrick began to hum a song to their baby son to help him sleep. Baby Atticus smiled to his parents until his eyes felt heavy and he began to fall asleep in his crib. Unknown to anyone, that song would be the key to the magic Atticus had inside him which would be more powerful then Sombra.
Atticus stared in through the window as his parents let his baby self sleep. Cherry soon began to run towards Atticus to stop him. Atticus soon took a deep breath and made his way in.
"Atticus! Stop!" Cherry gasped and panted while running.
Once he heard Cherry's voice, Atticus looked to see not only Cherry was there, but also the others. Cherry panted and looked over.
"Cherry... What're you doing here?" Atticus asked.
"Stopping... You..." Cherry panted. "Phew... Gimme a sec."
"We're here to stop you from changing history." Mera told Atticus.
"But I wanna see my parents!" Atticus told them.
"Atticus, don't you watch movies?" Cherry asked. "If you change the past, it could cause a major paradox in our timeline!"
Atticus frowned as he nearly forgot that.
"Come on, let's go." Cherry told him.
"...I have to risk it," Atticus replied. "Cherry, don't you want me to be happy and have a family like you?"
"Well, yes, but..." Cherry frowned.
"Sombra, what are you doing here?" Patrick's voice interrupted.
"I'm just checking in." Sombra's voice replied.
Atticus and the others soon looked in through the window.
"That's nice," Emily said. "But we can already tell in your eyes that you're here for something."
"Or someone." Sombra smirked.
"Pardon?" Patrick and Emily replied.
"I believe you've heard me." Sombra said as he took a look to the sleeping baby.
"Wait, did he just say he was going to take me?" Atticus whispered to the others.
"I... I guess so..." Cherry replied.
Sombra soon came into the crib and picked up Baby Atticus.
"Sombra, what are you doing?!" Patrick demanded.
"I told you that I needed an heir." Sombra smirked.
"But... Now?" Emily asked. "It's so soon!"
"I didn't say when, but the deal was set, so if you don't mind, I'll just take my nephew and leave." Sombra said, but as he was about to leave with the baby a spark of magic zapped him, keeping him from taking the baby boy away.
Patrick and Emily rushed over.
"What is this?!" Sombra glared before looking over. "You two are trying to hex me, aren't you?!"
"No, it's our magic of love." Emily told him.
"We had a deal, Fudos!" Sombra glared.
"Yes, but we thought you would have him as your heir to your throne when he would be older like as a teenager." Patrick told him.
"Early bird gets the worm." Sombra smirked.
"NO!" Emily shrieked. "Put down my baby!"
Patrick soon used his magic and where their baby boy was teleported to them. Baby Atticus soon began to cry from what was going on before he felt safe with his parents and quietly cooed.
"I will have that child!" Sombra glared as he was about to use his magic when music began to play.
Emily held Baby Atticus close. Baby Atticus seemed to snuffle before looking up to his mother with a quiet whimper.
'Where is that music coming from?' Cherry thought to herself.
"There's a powerful magic, Where two hearts are one, A powerful magic bright as the sun~" Patrick and Emily soon sang to the evil being. "Goodness will triumph and evil's undone, When you dare to heed love's call, 'Cuz love is the most, Powerful magic of all~"
'Are they singing?' Cherry thought to herself.
"Down with love, down with hope, Don't need blind faith to cope~" King Sombra sang to the fudo couple as he made his way to Atticus. "Or inspiring songs in my heart, Got the magic I need, For my darkest of deeds, Love at times can entrance, But love doesn't stand a chance, No, no, Love doesn't stand a...~"
"I can say anything I want now." Cherry muttered.
"Shh." Batman told her.
"It's a powerful magic, When two voices soar~" Patrick and Emily sang as they protected their only son. "I'm ever more hopeful, For what lies in store~"
"Once I loved and once I learned, Love is weakness, Love will leave you burned~" King Sombra sang as he tried to use his magic to take Atticus from his parents.
"Nothing will stop us, no, not anymore, With our son's fate at stake~" Patrick and Emily retorted as they did their best to protect their son.
"Happy endings you see~" King Sombra retorted as he kept trying to use his magic to take Atticus.
"Seems we found our lucky break~" Patrick and Emily replied.
"That happy ending will end with me~" Sombra grinned darkly.
"Now let our song show the powerful magic~" Patrick Emily replied.
"Love doesn't stand a chance~" Sombra grinned darkly.
"Show the powerful magic, We can make~" Patrick and Emily frowned for poor Atticus.
"Got you where I want you now, Your spell will soon be broken~," Sombra grinned as it seemed like he was winning. "Let us see how strong you are, When everything you love is taken~" He soon aimed and shot magic at the ceiling, setting it on fire.
Emily shrieked from the fire as it seemed to scare her.
"If I can't have him, then he'll die in flames with the two of you." Sombra smirked as he teleported out.
"NO!" Patrick and Emily cried out.
Atticus looked in horror before looking to Cherry. "Now my parents are gonna die again!" he then told her. "Are you happy?!"
"Watch." An angelic voice told him.
"Huh?" Atticus blinked. "Who said that?"
"Look, Atticus, things happen for a reason," Cherry said. "I'm sorry your parents died, but we can't change that."
They soon saw Atticus's parents pray that their baby son would be sent to somewhere safe even if they wouldn't survive. Atticus seemed to be sent away safely, much like when Baby Moses was born and was adopted by the Egyptians.
"Whoa." The others said.
Patrick and Emily looked to each other and hugged each other while crying as this looked like the end for right now as Atticus was sent away for his own safety and protection. They just hoped that he would outlive them if anything were to happen. Atticus frowned as he was about to save them, but he now realized that if he did that then Sombra would get what was after which would be the history being changed.
"Atticus, I'm sorry." Cherry told her best friend.
"It's okay, at least I now know how the fire really started." Atticus replied.
Cherry looked to him and she soon started out giving him a hug since he usually was the one who started the hugs. A short time later, the spell soon sent them back to where they were before.
"Cherry, I'm so sorry!" Atticus cried. "I was selfish, wasn't I?"
"No... No, you weren't." Cherry told him.
"So, you failed." Sombra's voice sighed.
"It's Sombra..." Atticus replied.
They soon saw Sombra appear and before they could do anything, he froze the Justice League and the others except for Atticus and somehow missed Cherry.
"Ch-Cherry, what's going on?!" Atticus gasped.
"I don't know!" Cherry replied.
"I've froze them so then they don't get in the way and as for your friend, I won't freeze her with my magic this time," Sombra said. "Now just use the spell again and this time, alter your past."
"NO!" Atticus told him.
"What did you say?" Sombra asked.
"I know how the fire really started, and I know how I ended up at the orphanage." Atticus told him.
"Ah... You are a smart one..." Sombra replied.
"Leave my friend alone, ya jerk!" Cherry glared.
"Why don't you leave?" Sombra asked Cherry.
"Leave Atticus alone," Cherry glared. "Now."
"You always got in the way!" Sombra glared back as he lifted her up with his magic.
"Leave her alone!" Atticus told him as a crystal came between Chery and Sombra.
Out of nowhere, a picture of Patrick and Emily with Atticus as a baby appeared and where it also had a glowing light that was around him as they hummed and which told her one thing.
"No way..." Cherry whispered out of amazement as she now knew what to do next.
"Leave Cherry out of this, it's me you want." Atticus told Sombra.
"Then join me." Sombra smirked.
"If I join you... Will you let Cherry go?" Atticus asked.
"Yes." Sombra smirked.
"I'm sorry, Cherry..." Atticus said.
"What for?" Cherry replied.
Atticus soon came to join Sombra's side.
"No, wait, Atticus, you don't have to join his side!" Cherry told him.
"What else can I do, Cherry?" Atticus asked. "At least you won't get hurt."
Cherry soon came over to Atticus and where she showed him the picture. Atticus looked over and soon took the picture from his best friend.
"Atticus, the answer you've been searching for has been inside you all along and your magic was made from your parents' love, you can defeat him," Cherry said. "And I know that you feel like you're alone, but you've never been alone because your parents have always been with you because of the song."
"Don't listen to her!" Sombra told Atticus. "She's just jealous!"
Unfortunately for Sombra, Atticus did listen to Cherry and where he could heard his parents humming the song.
"You believe me, right, Atticus?" Cherry asked.
"...Cherry, you're my family..." Atticus said. "You're the sister I've never had."
Cherry smiled as she felt touched.
"I'm sorry, Sombra, but I'm on Cherry's side." Atticus glared firmly.
"I'll have to turn you evil by force then." Sombra glared back.
"NO!" Cherry cried out.
"Stay out of this, emo!" Sombra glared as he shoved her aside like she was worthless.
Atticus glared before he stayed focus as he wasn't going to let Sombra win. Sombra glared back as he charged up his own magic to change Atticus by force.
'You know what to do, Atticus.' Cherry thought to herself.
Atticus soon took a deep breath as he prepared himself. "Once I lived in darkness, Out there on my own, Left to brave the world alone~," he then began to sing. "Everything seemed hopeless, No chance to break free, Couldn't hear the song inside of me~"
Sombra shot his magic at Atticus only for it to not have any affect on him.
"Once upon a time, A song inspired them: be brave, They gave me up because my fate~" Atticus continued to sing while trying to stay brave and determined. "Was as the one who'd save, The world from your dark magic, And the wicked things you do, They placed a song inside my heart, More powerful than you~"
A wave of magic was soon sent out, unfreezing the Justice League, and the others slightly.
"Keep going, Atticus, you can do it!" Cherry cheered.
Atticus looked over and smiled as Cherry looked happy for once and soon continued to sing from the bottom of his heart. "All the years of running, No, not anymore, I know what I'm living for, I'm no longer searching, Turns out all along, The answer was inside me, With a song~" he soon sang as he seemed to be getting stronger than his uncle.
The wave of magic was soon like a tidal wave as it over powered Sombra and unfroze the Justice League and the others completely.
"You guys okay...?" Atticus asked.
"Atticus... Thank you." Superman smiled to his adoptive son.
Atticus smiled back before they all saw Sombra glaring.
"You should have done this the easy way because there's a war coming the Atlanteans against the surface world and I will enjoy every moment of it." Sombra told them before vanishing.
"Gulp... War?!" Atticus replied with wide eyes.
"That's bad," Cherry said. "Really, really bad."
"Oh... Cherry, I'm sorry..." Atticus frowned. "This is my fault..."
"No, I'm afraid I know who is behind the attack onto the surface world." Mera frowned.
"I'm not listening, I'm not listening~..." Cherry plugged her ears.
"Prince Orm." Mera sighed.
"Daaugh!" Cherry cried out.
"Before anything else, where's Black Manta?" Atticus asked.
"I'm not going to find out." Cherry said.
"Cherry...?" Batman called.
"What?" Cherry replied. "I don't want to find out..."
"Cherry, you believed in me, and now I believe in you," Atticus said as he put his hands on her shoulders. "You can help us stop Black Manta before something terrible happens. I know you can."
"Alright." Cherry sighed.
"It's going to be okay." Atticus smiled to her.
"If you say so." Cherry shrugged.
"Have faith." Atticus smiled.
"Why do you always gotta be so positive?" Cherry muttered to him.
"One of us has to." Atticus smiled.
"Hm... I guess so." Cherry hid a small playful smirk.
"So then let's start searching." Atticus said.
"All right... I guess I can do this." Cherry sighed softly.
"You sure can." Atticus smiled.
"Hmm..." Cherry replied, not too sure, but she had to admit that it was nice that Atticus believed in her.
