Chapter 3
The New Gods
Ruby took Kara to the training room and could tell that Kara had questions about the way Sam and Cain lead the team "Kara you have questions so ask them." said Ruby "why are Sam and Cain like this." asked Kara "Kal took something very important from both of them he took their families from Sam he took his birth mother, his maternal grandfather, his adoptive mother, his father, his brothers, and his sisters, from Cain he took his mother, father, and friends and even made him kill Sam whom he considers his best friend and now his only brother." Ruby explained "but Sam was alive and standing right there." said Kara "yeah that's because we brought him back though probably a lot less sane than he used to be." said Ruby.
"Not even kryptonians have learned to revive the dead how could earthlings?" asked Kara "just because there's no way on Krypton doesn't mean other planets haven't figured out a way for earth we have the lazarus pit a pool that produces a strange chemical which can reverse old age and bring back the dead essentially making who ever has control of the pit immortal we have one here in Nanda Parbat the original master of this house Sam's grandfather Ra's Al Ghul the demons head used it for centuries before Sam killed him to take control of the league and just in case he needed it the pit as well." said Ruby.
"Kal is a cruel and evil man who won't hesitate to use his own family as weapons after all he used Cain as just that when we were in the Regime Cain knew what he was doing was wrong but he still did it because he hoped to change the Regime when he took over as Kal's one and only heir but after he killed Sam and Sam showed us things, we just knew Kal would never give up his power so now we just want to fight him and hurt him the way he hurt us." said Ruby "why do you hate my cousin?" asked Kara.
"Because he had my mother and the man I loved killed, before the war began Kal had found out my mother Hippolyta was supporting Batman and Phoenix in the war so he had her killed so my older sister Diana who was a firm supporter of his would be put on the throne and he would receive support from the Amazons because at the time we had thought Sam had killed her even though deep down we knew he would never hurt someone he considered family." said Ruby "So now you want revenge." said Kara "more than anything." said Ruby.
Ruby and Kara arrived in the training chamber "now if your anything like Kal and Cain in terms of powers than you'll need yellow sun radiation." said Ruby and the ceiling opened "now try flying." said Ruby "how." asked Kara "I don't know Cain and Kal never explained how it works Cain usually uses Ki to fly but when he can't he never knew why he could naturally fly and Kal doesn't seem privy to it either." said Ruby and so Kara just concentrated and eventually Kara was flying.
Cain and Sam arrived in the training room later after having delivered Kara's ship to Kal "that should keep Kal off us for awhile, Ruby I want you to gather the others so I can finally explain my plan on how to stop Kal bring Kara with you." said Sam "yes Sam." said Ruby and she and Kara went to find the other members of Shadow Justice and they sat around the table "alright Sam whats the plan?" asked Adam "time travel." stated Sam "time travel." said Cain.
"yep, I was talking with Mirai while I was in otherworld he said I should do what he did and go back in time to stop Kal and so I went to first the supreme Kai to allow me to go to Conton City to speak with the Supreme Kai of Time and she's given us permission to fix the timeline because according to her this is not how things were supposed to turn out but we can't build the portal here we have to use otherworld so Kal and the Regime can't track us right away besides the portal is already being constructed there we were working on it when you guys put me in the Lazarus Pit to revive me according to Gohan, Bulma, and Mirai the portal should be in good working order in another couple months sense they don't require the need to eat, drink, or sleep with them already being dead." said Sam.
"Remember Sam time travel isn't an exact science it's highly possible will just make an alternate timeline that has nothing to do with our own." said Cain "well at least we can make a somewhat better world and if we want we could just stay in that timeline like Mirai stayed in ours." said Sam "yeah I guess you're right." said Cain "also guys I have something else to tell you, I didn't come back from death alone, you guys remember Deadman don't you?" asked Sam "yeah we remember Deadman." said Ruby "and remember how he was forced to move on to the afterlife?" asked Sam "yeah." said Cain.
"Well I brought his successor with me my oldest brother Dick Grayson." said Sam "wait so Dick is here right now?" asked Dean and then Sam froze and went rigid "yep I'm here Dean." Sam said in what sounded like a combination of his own and indeed Dick Grayson.
"How is this possible you've been dead for five years?" said Adam, "yeah I know but when Deadman died he gave me the chance to be his successor and so I took it and I've been watching all of you ever since when I saw Sam die I made sure I was one of the people to personally greet him in Otherworld and told him the story when he was being revived with the Lazarus he asked me to come back with him so I attached to him and now we're connected for pretty much ever." explained Dick "So what are we supposed to call you, Samuel Grayson, Richard Wayne?" asked Orion "it's Sam's body I'm just taking up residence for a while, in simple terms were roommates." said Dick and then he gave Sam control of his body "now we need to decide who will become the next Ra's Al Ghul in my absence and we need to also know who will be leading the insurgency in case the new Ra's doesn't want the job." said Sam.
"Why not one of us like when you died." asked Ivory "because Ivory everyone at this table if they so choose is going back in time to a certain time period, but if someone wants to stay behind and become my replacement if I may never return they are more than welcome to you have one week to decide who wants to go and who doesn't." said Sam and the meeting was then adjourned.
Cain and Ruby decided then and there they weren't going to let Sam fix the timeline on his own so they would join him, Dean also decided that he should join to since his speed would be useful in getting the time machine to work, The brides decided they wouldn't abandon Sam, and Kara despite being new decided she wanted to stick with her new friends.
Cyclone didn't know what to do on one hand he could go back to a point in his father's life to make sure he didn't join the regime but he also knew someone had to stay he knew if he went and his friends ever needed atlantis's help he could convince his father to help them instead of remaining isolated it was then he made a decision he to would join his friends if nothing else to stick by their side.
When the week was up they told Sam their decision and he said they would need to restart the war effort to distract the Regime from their plan they needed multiple assassination attempts at the same time on the regime leaders so he sent Cain and Kara to Metropolis he said it was time Kara saw her Cousins evil up close he also told Cain he better watch her and Cain couldn't help but notice how his cousin stared at his two best friends and he knew she had the hots for them he would talk to her about it on the way to New Metropolis, he sent Adam and Thea to Star City to attempt to assassinate their family he sent Cyclone to Atlantis, Dean would go to Central to attempt to kill Barry and Caitlin, and he and Ruby would go to Gotham to deal with Batman and Wonder Woman they had no illusions of succeeding they just needed a good distraction and a reason for Kal to start the war again so everybody went their own way.
Cain and Kara
"So Kara I saw the way you were looking at Sam and Ruby." said Cain "what I don't know what your talking about I mean they've been so nice and everything" said Kara a little fast "relax Kara I'm not mad in fact I approve if you want a relationship with them but you have to be willing to share them with others." said Cain "I can do that." said Kara "that's good Kara, were here you want to see how my uncle works this is how." said Cain and Kara saw the way the so called villains were treated by the so called heroes.
There were people in chains and people being whipped and there were people in clown makeup being executed "this is horrible." said Kara "yeah I'm honestly very disgusted that this is how I use to treat villains to their evil but if your going to kill them make it quick and painless don't do this." said Cain come on you haven't even seen Kal yet.
So Cain brought her to Kal's palace and they snuck in and saw him raping a girl with clown makeup "Harley" whispered Cain tightening his fist "forget sneaking we attack now Kara." said Cain and he came down and kicked his uncle in the side he then toss Harley a trench coat "Harley run get out of here and I'll escort you to the insurgency base when I'm done here." said Cain she nodded put on the coat and ran "well, well Cain welcome home." said Kal "Kal do me a favor, DIE." said Cain shooting KI blast at his uncle Kara came out and help to attack Kal "well Cain who is this one of Sam's new pets?" asked Kal "no unlike you Sam doesn't keep pets or slaves he leads with loyalty and friendship in mind so she's our new friend and she's going to help me defeat you." said Cain and they attacked the older kryptonian.
Kal may have had experience but not even he could defeat two Kryptonians at once so he called in his guards but before they could get in Cain and Kara left after all they needed to attempt to assassinate him not succeed and so they found Harley and brought her back to Nanda Parbat and met with the others about their mission.
Adam and Thea
Adam and Thea were in route to Star City to attempt to assassinate the Green Arrow the arrived at the manor and saw Oliver out front with his family that they were no longer part of with Roy, Cheshire, his multiple wives and children.
Adam notched an arrow in his bow same as Thea and they shot the Arrows at Oliver, Oliver caught the arrow before it could hit him as well as the other arrow the arrow kids started shooting at their aunt and brother and the two retreated into shadows and got away from Star City and returned to Nanda Parbat.
Dean
Dean stood in an alleyway outside of STAR Labs where he knew his Family was his mother Caitlin Snow, his Stepmom Iris West, his older half siblings Don and Dawn, his young nephew Bart, uncle Cisco, uncle Wally, Jessy, Harry, HR, and Finally his father Barry Allen the Flash, or as he's more popularly known now Savitar the god of speed and death.
Dean started to run around Star Labs to get everyone's attention and everyone came out so he stopped just long enough to throw a lightning bolt at his father and mother and ran off back to Nanda Parbat to report his mission.
Sam and Ruby
Sam and Ruby sat on a building next to the old bat signal and they activated it waiting for the batclan and they appeared Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, Catwoman, Zatanna, Black Canary, Batgirl, Batwoman, Huntress, Batwing, Wonder Woman, and finally the Batman himself the Batclan attacked their old members Phoenix and Ice Witch quite easily took down their bat siblings and approached the Matriarch and Patriarch of the Clan, Batman and Wonder Woman.
The two younger bat and amazon stared their mentors down Sam looking like he just wanted to burn his father to ash and Ruby wanting to freeze her sister solid and the duo attacked their mentors with lethal precision but alas the bat and amazon are always worthy opponents but like the other bats they soon fell incapable of fighting the younger, stronger, teens and the teens left their injured family and returned to Nanda Parbat.
They arrived at the same time every body else did and each reported their mission, and minutes later Kal was addressing the world and explained how the masked terrorist organization Shadow Justice has declared war on the regime and that he was now issuing a kill order on the masked vigilantes know as Midnight Phoenix, Ice Witch, Lightspeed/Black Flash, Super Saiyan, Martian Girl, Cyclone, Black Arrow and their newest member Power Girl and every member would be hunted along with their followers to full extent of the regime law and the distraction was complete so Sam asked Dick to tell everyone in Otherworld that the distraction is on and so he did and the Shadow Justice team went back to training.
A month later
One month after the war began Sam was visited by the gods Ares, Ra, and Erebus the gods of war, fire, and darkness they had told him they were fading and needed a successor and they had chosen him a warrior who fought to protect the sacred flame from darkness, Sam had not known how to react he had asked what would happen should he accept and he was told that he would become the god and embodiment of war, fire, and darkness and possibly become a conduit for all the chaos in the universe to latch onto and was his job to keep it in check for with out those three the chaos energy in the universe would be so much more out of control.
Sam knew there was no choice in the matter he had to become the God of war, fire, and darkness but there was one more thing that concerned him "your friends." said Ra reading his thoughts "they have been made a similar offer to you, your friend Cain has been asked by the angel Vados to become the new god of destruction for universe 7 and Ares brother Hephaestus wants him to replace him as god of craftsmanship, your lover Ruby has been asked to become the new goddess of ice by Khonie, light by, Amaterasu, beauty by Aphrodite, and as you are conduit for chaos she is a conduit for order, and you could probably guess your other friends domains just think about it child it may go along way in helping you in your war with Kal." said Erebus "alright I'll be your Heir." said Sam and he felt himself fill with more power than he could have ever imagined.
And so rises the new gods the shadows have now gained a power in similarity to their mentors so will this make a difference let's hope so see you guys in the next chapter.
