Chapter XXVIII: Hereafter.
Last Time.
Deathstroke jumped up with his staff, and attacked Naruto multiple times. Naruto blocked each one with his arms before grabbing the staff, and kicked him away. "I always wanted to test you Kage." Naruto raised an eyebrow as he glanced to see the others doing better in their fights then last time. "Really? I'm touched."
Naruto charged at him, and delivered multiple punches, and hits him in the stomach before punching him in his helmet knocking it off. Naruto looked at the greying hair of the Deathstroke before blinking. "Slade Wilson? I heard you became a Mercenary.." Slade took out a katana, and charged at Naruto.
Only for Naruto to disappear, and reappear behind him with a Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) in his hand. "Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere)." Slade was sent flying over to a downed Sinestro, Volcana, and Shade just as Cheetah flipped Copperhead over her shoulder, and knocked her out.
Naruto turned to see Clayface explode with fireworks as Grodd ran away. Superman flew over, and Grodd attacked him. "Supergirl now!" Naruto yelled as she flew over, and punched Grodd through the field goal.
Naruto walked to the others who were looking down. "Guys... I know we all said things we shouldn't have... But like I said being on a team is new to you.. You're either used to fighting alone.. or with a partner you fought with for years. It will take time to trust each other, and rely on the others." Naruto said looking at each one.
"You have anyone you couldn't work with?" Supergirl asked as Naruto walked forward. "Yes... He drove his hand through my chest once.." Naruto said before looking back. "Best to get past this, and move on."
Now.
Smallville, Naruto's House.
"YOU HAD SEX WITH HER?!" Naruto jumped over the couch, and hid as Kara threw a vase at him. "Honey It's no..." He ducked as she threw a plate at him. "Don't 'Honey' me you jerk!" Naruto looked to see Hunter hiding with him covering his ears, and eyes with his paws. "Any chance I can get you to distract her while I run?"
Hunter whined before crawling away on his stomach. "Yeah I don't blame you buddy." He looked up at Kara wearing jeans that's cut into shorts, and one of his black shirts knotted up to show her midriff. "Kara.. Honey... Dear... I can expl..." He stopped as her eyes glowed red. "Explain what? How some slut had sex with you while the others, and I were tied up in a cave?"
"It wasn't like that! I was tied up, and drugged!" Barbara, in black jeans, and red shirt, Cheetah, going in to her human form, and Diana walked in as Naruto was trying to explain his... 'Time' with Copperhead. "I.. Actually feel bad for him." Barbara asked as Cheetah looked to her. "Really?" Barbara took a thoughtful look, and then shook her head "Nope."
Unknown Location; A Few Days Later, Night.
Four cloaked people sat at a circular table with another standing in front of them as candles lit the room. "We have all been wronged by the same man." The one standing up said in a male's voice. "We have." The others said together before the male standing continued. "We all seek the same thing."
"We do." The standing man looked up, and continued. "We agreed to work together to achieve our ultimate goal." The others nodded when the man lifted his right hand, showing it's robotic. "Speak your names." One by one they took off their hoods.
"Toyman." The one beside him took their hood off. "Livewire." The one by her took theirs off. "Weather Wizard." Weather Wizard is a man with short brown hair wearing green glasses as the one beside him removed their hood. "Kalibak." The man standing removed his hood. "Metallo."
"Speak the word, and seal the pact." Metallo finished holding a knife up as the others stood, and did the same. "Revenge." They brought their knives down on the table showing Superman's Shield painted on it.
Smallville, Naruto.
Naruto grumbled as he moved around on the couch that Kara made him sleep on. "It wasn't my fault." He sighed before looking up at the ceiling. "I should have gotten one with a fold out bed." He groaned before hearing Kara speak up from upstairs. "I would have welded the frame so you can't use it!"
"I knew I should have waited for her to graduate High school in a few months before allowing her to live here." He heard footsteps, and looked up to see Cheetah walking out of the kitchen. "Hello Naruto... Comfy?" He glared at her as she walked over to him, and leaned on the back of the couch.
"Be a little better if you slept with me." She smirked as her tail wagged behind her. "Isn't 'sleeping' with a girl the reason you're sleeping on the couch?" She asked before jumping over the couch and straddled his waist. "Just let her cool off Naruto... It took about two years before you did the deed with her." (1.)
"And close to a year with us... It really only took a few meetings with Copperhead before she bed you." He sighed as he grabbed her waist with his hands, and leaned up. "Like I said I was drugged. I can't help if women can't control themselves around me." she deadpanned at him before purring as he started to rub her sides. "Stooop... You're on punish..."
"YOU BETTER NOT BE FEELING BARB UP WHILE WE'RE MAD AT YOU!" Naruto stopped as Kara yelled down. Cheetah smirked before getting off of him, and walked away with a sway in her hips. Naruto sighed before laying back down, and tried to go to sleep.
Morning.
Naruto in his costume drove out of his garage on his motorcycle after getting a briefing from J'onn of Kalibak, Weather Wizard, Metallo, Toyman, and Livewire attacking near the Daily Planet. He looked up to see Wonder Woman, and Supergirl flying above him before focusing back on the road.
When he got to the Daily Planet, he saw the others excluding Batman and Superman fight the group of villains. Weather Wizard raised a wand, and created storm clouds just as Naruto saw J'onn fighting Metallo. Naruto Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) to him, and grabbed Metallo. "Hello Terminator wannabe."
Naruto greeted before flashing away with him. "Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere)." Naruto hits Metallo in the chest as he stopped near the ocean, and sends Metallo flying away. He flashed back to see a downed Wonder Woman in front of a giant toy robot with a canon on its chest, and a glowing green energy started building up.
"NO!" Naruto yelled before flashing to her, and wrapped his arms around her while having his back face the robot. It fired just as Superman flew in front of them.
BOOM!
Rain fell down as Naruto flew away, and dropped Wonder Woman before flying through a building, and came out through the other side. "Kage!" Wonder Woman yelled before seeing everyone stare in shock behind her. She looked back to see a piece of Superman's cape fall down. She growled before flying over, and punched the robot as tears fell from her eyes.
Toyman fell out before picking up a water gun. "Stay back.. It's full of acid." Wonder Woman kicked the gun out of his hand before lifting him up by his collar. "Do I look like I'm playing games?" She asked pulling her fist back. Only for a bloody hand to stop her. She looked to see a bloody Naruto holding his left side as blood dripped through his hand.
"We don't do that." He weakly said before coughing. "Speak for yourself." He groaned before moving his hand showing a small rebar sticking out of his side. "I'm... Trying.. To speak... For Super..." He stopped as he fell face first on the ground.
A Few Days Later; Smallville, Naruto's House.
Naruto in his stealth costume with the hood down walked to Diana's room with a small limp. He pushed the door open, and saw Diana wearing a white gold trimmed dress with wings decorations on her tiara sword on her side, and gold, knee high heeled boots, and put on a cape.
He smiled before walking over, and wrapped his arms around her. "You feeling alright?" He asked as she stared at him through the mirror. "I should be asking you that." He smiled weakly before replying. "Big injuries take longer to heal.. That rebar went through me.. Just a little tender at the moment."
He looked back before letting her go, and walked out of the room. "I'll let you two talk." He said walking past Hippolyta, and closed the door.
A few hours later, Naruto, Wonder Woman, Cheetah, and Supergirl got out of his now red Charger, and walked in the Church. He looked to see the others were there at the front along with Aquaman, Dr. Fate, and their wives. He looked to his left, and saw John, and Martha sitting with two of his clone with one Henge (Transformation) to look like Kara.
Sitting beside them is Barbara, and another clone with Jim, Alfred, Tim, and Richard. Naruto, and the girls sat with the League, and waited for the funeral to start. A few moments later, Naruto heard the crowd whisper, and looked back. "Is it Batman? I can't see." Hawkgirl asked standing up before Lois Lane walked down narrowing her eyes.
"I can." Naruto got up, and walked behind her as Lex Luthor walked in. "Luthor.. How dare you show your face here?" She asked before slapping him "Come to gloat? You always wanted him dead.. I hate you!" She started crying as she pounded on his chest before Naruto grabbed her, and hugged her as she cried on his chest.
Later, the League carried a black coffin with Superman's shield on top through Metropolis. Wonder Woman looked up, and saw Batman on a rooftop before looking back, and walked to the park where a large stone with a metal Superman shield is before burying him.
Later, Watchtower.
Naruto picked up a drink as Green Lantern finished telling a story about Superman. They looked to each other, and started discussing the future of the League. Suddenly, a hover motorcycle with a skull on it bursts through the door having everyone grab the table as the air was sucked out. Naruto groaned as he was standing up.
"What's with the long faces Justice Dweebs." Naruto heard a male's voice speak up before his eyes widened. "Oh Lord no." He looked up, and saw a man with chalk white skin black hair that reached his neck with muttonchops, and a mustache. He has red eyes with black around them. He's wearing a black leather jacket with the right sleeve ripped off, over a grey shirt, and fingerless gloves.
He has a black spiked belt with a skull buckle, blue jeans, silver knee pads, and black combat boots. "Oh damn it!" Naruto cursed before the man picked up on of the black arm bands, and puts it around his head as a bandanna. "Lighten up.. The answer to your entire problem is right here... But you can call me Lobo."
"You are not welcomed here this is a private gathering." J'onn said walking to Lobo. "Yeah, yeah... Superman kicked the bucket but that's why I'm here." Naruto face palmed as Supergirl glared at Lobo. "Guy's... This is Lobo... A bounty hunter." Naruto said before looking up to see Lobo smirk. "The Main Man's the best bounty hunter in the known Universe. You can ask Superman if he wasn't busy pushing up daisies."
"Hey Kage... Girly." Supergirl glared harder before Lobo continued. "The Main Man is here to take Superman's place." Wonder Woman grabbed Lobo, and threw him over her shoulder, making him hit a wall. "You're no Superman." She said holding her fist back. "The ladies say different." Lobo replied closing his eyes in a smile.
"Shut up Kage." Supergirl said as Naruto opened his mouth. "But I was just going to..." He was interrupted by Supergirl, who looked to him. "You were going to make a joke with you replacing Lobo in that sentence." His head dropped as she looked to see Wonder Woman throw Lobo across the room. "Oh I see.. You want the Main Man to audition. Well ladies... Let's dance!"
Lobo ripped a piece of the wall off, and threw it at them. Naruto groaned as he walked to a monitor as the others fought Lobo, and saw Copperhead, Livewire, Volcana, Deadshot, Star Sapphire and Kalibak attacking Metropolis. He ducked under a chair before yelling. "Guys! We have a problem!"
Later with Lobo, they saw the group of villains in a pile, and saw Superman float down with Kalibak in hand. "S.. Superman?" Hawkgirl asked as Superman ignored her, He repeatedly punched Kalibak creating a sonic wave behind him. Naruto narrowed his eyes before trying to Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) to him….
Only for nothing to happen. "What the hell?" Naruto asked before bringing out his bow, and pressed the button on the inside of the handle. The bottom of the quiver rotated before he grabbed a Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) arrow, and shot up to Superman. He flashed up, and wrapped his arms around Superman. "What are you... AAHHH!"
Superman grabbed him, and threw him away in to a building. "KAGE!" Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Hawkgirl yelled before flying up to Superman.
Unknown Location.
A man under rubble groaned before pushing off a large rock-revealing Superman. He groaned before looking at his hand, and saw several cuts on it. Confused, he looked up to see a large moon with a asteroid ring, and a red sun. He looked back to see several old cars before shouting. "Hello!" After no response, he puts a hand to his ear.
"Superman to Justice League.. It seems that we've transported to a planet with a red sun... My powers aren't working... I'm picking up the homing beacon but have no audio." He looked at a old red convertible before continuing. "I'll leave this channel open, and move to your position."
A Few Months Later. (A/N: Everything until Superman runs into Vandal is canon.)
Superman with longer hair, and a beard walked through the jungle with a makeshift sword on his back. He's wearing a pelt to act like a cape, and a white shirt with a pouch around his waist. Walking out, his eyes widened at a destroyed Watchtower before running up to it. He ran inside before going to a computer to bring up the members whereabouts.
Only to see everyone's status is unknown with Naruto's, and Supergirl having 'Deceased' on their pictures. "What happened to them?" He asked before a male voice spoke up behind him. "They died..." He looked back to see Vandal Savage in a suit standing behind him. "Thousands of years ago." Vandal finished before looking up. "They don't build them like this anymore... Lost orbit seventy-five hundred years ago."
"This is Earth thousands of years in the future.. That simpleton Toyman didn't know what he had." He finished as Superman's eyes widened. "That disintegrator ray?" Superman asked as Vandal looked to him. "An energized takeon beam that sent you into the future." He said before walking up to Superman. "Hello."
He took Superman to a destroyed Metropolis is a tall skyscraper, and explained a few months after Superman 'died', he stolen a vital part to make a machine that controlled the gravity, and declared himself ruler of the World. "But sadly, it went haywire, and caused this." He finished pointing to the moon. "And ultimately destroyed the Earth."
"The Justice League would have stopped you." Superman said before Vandal nodded. "Yes... If that cyborg didn't take out the heavy hitters." Superman raised an eyebrow causing Vandal to continue. "About a week after you died, several villains decided to attack Metropolis thinking it would be easy to take over."
"But then 'You' came in, and stopped them... The fake you tried to kill Kalibak making the League thinking it wasn't you, or you were being controlled... After a fight that ended in Supergirl's death, it was revealed that he was a cyborg that hated you for the death of his family after a solar flair, and wanted to tarnish your reputation when you couldn't save them in time. So it took on your appearance for the extra addition towards its revenge.."
"Kage used a power move that caused his death as well as the cyborg." Vandal finished before taking him to his tower. "So... You're the only human left?" Vandal shook his head before answering. "Until I found four teens ten years ago." They walked inside, and saw each level filled with fossils, books, and antiques before hearing a baby cry.
"It's alright Kamarni.. Mommy's here." Superman saw four people, one male, and three females. The females all have black hair, and dresses with two looking younger, and obvious twins. The male has long blonde hair, and blue eyes wearing old clothes. "Superman, this is Kamandi, Arna, and their son Kamarni." (2.)
Arni stood up holding a baby boy with black hair. "The others are Spirit, and Flower.. We are the last of humankind. "Hello." Spirit, and Flower said together before Vandal went to make lunch, and explained all of the projects he did. "Have to do something for thirty thousand years or you'll go mad."
"So you're the Superman Vandal told us about... I thought you'd be taller." Kamandi said as they went to the kitchen, and ate as Vandal explains all he did to stay sane.
Nighttime.
Superman got up from the couch, and looked around the tower. As he got to the end of the hall, and opened the door. His eyes widen as he saw a time machine that looks like the one he, and the others used to travel to WWII to eventually stop Savage. He ran down the hall, and opened Vandal's door. "Savage!" Vandal woke up, and rubbed his eyes. "What?"
"You've got a time machine." Vandal nodded before explaining he never finished it after losing interest. "It wouldn't work... The design won't allow me to go back in any timeline where I already exist." Superman nodded before speaking. "Well... I'm already 'dead'."
Later, after finishing the machine with Kalmadi's help, Vandal turned the power on. Only for it to fizzle out after a second. "As I thought... Not enough power." Vandal said looking down in thought. "What about that generator that you said was stolen a while back?" Kamandi asked as Vandal smirked before walking outside to a giant dragon fly pen.
They each flew on one to a giant termite hill, and scoped it out from a distance. "It acts like a sun, and it provides warmth for them." Vandal explained as he, and Kamandi pulled out pistols. Superman pulled his sword out, and sliced at them as a giant beetle that jumped out of the ground. Kamandi, and Vandal shot at it as several more attacked forcing them to run to the hill.
Kamandi shot at a beetle that tried to fly at them as Superman sliced it when it fell. "Go! It's just up ahead! We'll cover you!" Vandal shouted shooting more insects that came his way. They attacked any insects that came to them, and ran to a hole where a yellow light shined. Superman jumped down as Kamandi, and Vandal continued to attack.
Suddenly, red lasers attacked the insects forcing them to flee. They looked back to see Superman flew to them holding a yellow orb. Later, Vandal walked out of the machine, and wiped his forehead. "I had a hunch that the radiation would restore your power but I didn't want to get your hopes up." He said as they walked up with the girls following after.
"You know if this works.. This version of you won't exist." Superman said to Kamandi, and the others. "We're hoping for that if it's a better future." Kamandi said as Spirit pulled a camera out. "How about a picture to remember us by?" Superman smiled at her as Vandal turned the machine on.
Present.
The Cyborg Superman stood over an unconscious Supergirl, and his eyes glowed before being punched. Naruto groaned as he got up to see Superman floating in front of the imposter. He waked to Supergirl just as Superman flew to the Cyborg, and flew away with him as a shock wave came off, and broke the windows on the buildings surrounding them.
Up with Superman, they traded punches as they flew high above the City. The Cyborg shot lasers at Superman, and hits him in his chest. "Why are you doing this?!" Superman asked as his imposter glared. "Because you ruined my life!" He yelled before flying to Superman. Superman punched him tearing off his skin revealing his metal exoskeleton.
The Cyborg flew at Superman, and punched him down, and flew at him. Superman topped before flying up, and punched the Cyborg in the face before using his freeze breath on him. The Cyborg broke free before shooting lasers at Superman who did the same.
Naruto looked up to see Superman, and the Cyborg fight up in the sky. He picked Supergirl up, and walked to the others before seeing an explosion, and a moment later, Superman flew down. "No time to explain... Kage, Get Supergirl to the Med. Bay.. We have to stop Vandal Savage." Superman said as Naruto disappeared, and the others flew off with Green Lantern bringing Flash, and Batman in a ball.
Thirty Thousand Years Later.
Vandal, Kamandi, Arni holding Kamarni, Flower, and Spirit sat at Superman's destroyed gravestone before hearing something. Looking up, they saw projection of people in white clothing walking around as buildings, and flying cars came in to view. "Thank you... Friend." Vandal said as he, and the others faded away.
