It is time for the aftermath of Raizen's actions. And just a little heads up, I am a Batman/Wonder Woman pairing fan. Just to let you all know. Anyways, let's get this started.
Chapter 2
It has been an hour since Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and The Team arrived back at the base. Once they got there, Miss Martian started to put bandages around Superboy's wounds. Since Metallo's destroyed body was lying around after the battle, they called the Watchtower to send some members to pick up the remains. After everything was settled, Kid Flash said "Okay, now that everyone's fine, let me ask something…"
He then yelled "What the hell just happen out there?! Who the hell was that guy?! And how did he just defeated Metallo like nothing?!"
Batman replied "We were hoping that one of you knows something."
Robin said "I guest is safe to say that I speak for everyone and say we have no idea who that guy is."
"Just who is he?" Miss Martian asked, "At first I thought he may be Kryptonian. But after what we saw, there is no way he is one."
Hearing the word Kryptonian, Superman looks at her and said "What makes you sure that he is one?"
Miss Martian replied "When we first saw him, he had super strength, speed, flight and endurance. But when we saw that he wasn't getting weak by Kryptonite and fired a blast of energy, those thoughts were thrown aside."
Artemis then said "And did you see his attitude? When Superman was nice to him and thanked him, he just turned his back and flew off! I mean, who would do that?!"
"Alright everyone," Wonder Woman said, "The important point, you are all safe."
Everyone sighed and Zatanna said "I suppose your right. But what about that guy?"
Batman replied "For now, he will be on League's radar. We need to know who he is."
Rocket then said "When Miss Martian tried to read his mind, she couldn't. We thought that he may be an android. But he wasn't."
"What makes you say that?" Batman said.
Aqualad said "Because what he said afterwards. He said 'We Saiyans' as if he was referring to his race."
Knowing what he meant, Superman said "So maybe he is an alien. We'll ask one of the Green Lanterns to check for any 'Saiyans' and see if we can find more info about this kid."
Batman then looks at The Team and said "For now, get some rest, you all earned it."
When The Team nodded, the three old heroes made their way to the Zeta Tubes and teleported to the Watchtower. As The Team was heading towards their bedrooms, along the way, Superboy said "I am tired."
Miss Martian rushed up to him, wrapped her arms around his right arm and said "You deserve it. After what happened, you need to recover."
"Besides," Robin said, "We should thank that guy for saving us."
Rocket sighed and said "Wonder where he is."
After a few minutes of flying, Raizen made his way back to his ship, where it was still there. Once he landed, he walks over to his ship and got in. When the doors closed, Raizen started to press the buttons.
The moment he stopped pressing his buttons, Raizen said "Computer, how far are we from Planet Vegeta?"
As the computer was making noises, the computer said "Error: Planet Vegeta not found."
Surprised, Raizen pressed the button and said "Computer, what do you mean 'not found'?"
The computer replied "Planet Vegeta is nowhere to be found."
Irritated, Raizen said "Where the hell am I then? It's not like I have gone for that long. It has been only…what…a week?"
The computer replied "According to the records, it has been over 2 month since your departure from Planet Vegeta."
"What?!" Raizen shouted, "2 months?! How is that possible?! We left a week ago!"
The computer replied "Something interfered with the system and threw the ship off course."
Sighing in frustration, Raizen gave up and said "Forget it then. I need to get some rest. Wake me up when there is a challenge."
With that, Raizen shut his eyes and went to sleep.
Looking at the battle between The Team and Metallo, Batman was observing the fight when he saw Raizen arriving. He pause the video and zoomed in on Raizen. From what Batman can tell, this guy looks to be in his teenage years. But from all the action and powerful this young person displayed, he could be more than that. Just as Batman was watching the video, Wonder Woman walked in.
She looks at the video and said "Is that him?"
Batman nodded and said "He almost has all the same abilities as Superman, except that he has to power to somehow manipulate energy and he is immune to Kryptonite."
"What about his race?" Wonder Woman asked, "Is he an alien from around here?"
Batman leaned back in his chair and said "I asked Hal to ask the Guardians for the Saiyan's homeworld or where they are. And do you know what he said?"
As Wonder Woman shrugged, Batman replied "He said that the Guardians have never heard of a race called the Saiyans. They don't even exist."
Wonder Woman's eyes widen and said "How is that possible? How can this boy say that he is this Saiyan if they don't exist?"
Batman replied "I don't know. But he may be a potential threat."
As he played the video and saw the rest of the footage, Wonder Woman said "I don't think he is a threat."
Batman looks at her and said "What makes you sure about that?"
Wonder Woman said "Play it before he left."
Turning back at the console, Batman played the video until he paused at the part when Superman offered his handshake while Raizen stood there. Wonder Woman points at Raizen and said "Look at him, that doesn't look a threat to me."
Batman looks at Raizen's expression and said "It does to me."
Wonder Woman shakes her head and said "No, really. That face doesn't look like a threat. He has the face of a warrior. Besides, if he is a threat, then he could have eliminated us the moment we got there."
"And how do you know all this?" Batman asked.
Wonder Woman smiled and said "I am an Amazon, Bruce. My sisters and I are trained to see this. Speaking of which…"
Batman looks at her and said "What is it?"
Wonder Woman replied "It has been a while since I left Themyscira. I am heading there for a few days and return soon."
"Alright," Batman said, "Be careful."
As Wonder Woman smiled, she walked up to him and kissed on his lips. When they departed, she said "Remember, never judge a book by its cover."
With that, Wonder Woman made her way to a nearby Zeta Tube and teleported out of the Watchtower. Once she was teleported in Metropolis, she started float in mid-air and made her way to Themyscira. As she was flying through the air, the sun was barely rising in the horizon. Along the way, she couldn't help but think of Raizen. Despite being a young person, he displayed great power and defeated one of the most dangerous foes. And the way he looks at people, there was no evil in him nor good, he had somewhat a passive feeling towards everyone. Anyways, Wonder Woman put those thoughts as she was near Themyscira.
When she saw the Temple of Athena, Wonder Woman landed in front of the temple and made her way inside. As she made her way into the temple, a voice said in a cheerful way "Sister Diana! You have returned!"
Wonder Woman smiled when she heard that voice. The moment she turned around, she saw a young woman who looked around 16 years old, had long black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing an Amazon armor and had a sword and shield. This Amazon was name Donna Troy, Wonder Woman's younger sister.
When Donna was near Wonder Woman, she smiled and said "Sister, you have returned!"
"I have," Wonder Woman said, "It has been too long since I have left home."
"So…" Donna said, "Have you decided yet?"
Confused, Wonder Woman asked "Decided what?"
Donna replied "If I can join your team?"
Surprised, Wonder Woman said "First, you cannot join MY team mostly because it is full of experience heroes."
"But what about the other team?" Donna asked, "I am ready."
Seeing Donna's determination, Wonder Woman said "Donna, you have become a great warrior, but…"
All of a sudden, there was a giant blast of red energy exploded and a large figure wearing a demonic armor appeared. It was none other than Ares: the God of War!
"Ares!" Wonder Woman yelled, "What is the meaning of this?!"
Ares laughed and said "I heard that you were returning and I figure to give you your welcome home party."
Donna gritted her teeth and said "You will regret coming here."
Wonder Woman looks at her and said "Sister, give me your sword and shield."
Donna's eyes widen and said "But Diana…"
Wonder Woman interrupted and said "I want you to warn the other Amazons."
Hesitating on what to do, Donna finally gave in and gave Wonder Woman her sword and shield and said "Be careful sister."
With that, Donna turns around and made her way into the temple. Once she was out of sight, Wonder Woman turns to Ares and said "Invading my home while I am gone is low for you. Especially for a god."
Ares laughed and said "Doesn't matter. Now that you are here, I guess we can start."
With that, Ares disappeared and reappeared behind Wonder Woman and swings his sword at her. Seeing the God of War behind her, Wonder Woman places her shield towards Ares' attack and blocks the attack. But the impact from Ares' attack sends Wonder Woman flying away. When she recovered from the attack, Wonder Woman got up and flies towards Ares. When she swings her sword, Ares blocks it, but Wonder Woman bashes her shield at Ares' face. Taking a few steps from Wonder Woman's attack, Ares roars and releases a wave of red energy everywhere. The blast sends Wonder Woman away, knocking her shield away. Ares then charges at Wonder Woman and swings his sword before the sword hits her. But instead, he sends a slash of red energy towards her. Even though Wonder Woman flies out of the way, Ares was already in front of her and swings his sword. Seeing him, Wonder Woman held out her sword to block Ares' attack, but she was sent to the ground.
When she crashed to the ground, Ares lands on his feet and said in a vicious way "What's the matter? Being away from your home made you lose your touch in battle."
As she got up, she saw her sword broken in two. Throwing away the hilt, Wonder Woman said "I have been away saving the world of men."
Ares laughed and said "And you are doing a marvelous job. Many men are fighting wars and no matter what you do, men will give into their instinct. And that instinct is to fight and kill."
Wonder Woman gritted her teeth and said "But that doesn't give you the right to just suddenly appear and attack my sisters."
Gripping his sword, Ares smiled and said "We shall see about that."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Raizen moaned as he opens his eyes. When he looks at his device, it was showing him a large power reading near him. Rubbing his right eyes, Raizen opens his ship and got out. After stretching his body, he looks at his device and said in an excited way "A power level of 8,000?! Now that's a challenge!"
After closing his ship, Raizen flew off into the distance in intense speed. Along the way, Raizen smiled and said "I just hope this one is a challenge than the last one."
Wonder Woman was thrown across by Ares' attack. She was already getting weaker just by trying to land a clean hit on Ares. At that moment, Donna along with a few more Amazons appeared and were witnessing the battle. In a fast movement, Ares rushed towards Wonder Woman and swings his sword downwards on her. However, Wonder Woman pushed herself out of the way just as Ares' sword crashed to the ground. Grabbing her lasso, she threw it at Ares and wraps it around his body. But then, Ares grabs the lasso and hurls it over his head, dragging Wonder Woman along with it. As he drags the lasso to the ground, Wonder Woman crashed to the ground again.
Moaning in pain, as she tried to get up, Ares was already near her and places his foot on her back. With a slight movement, Ares pins her body to the ground, causing her to cry in pain. Ares laughed and said "Look at you, the great Wonder Woman, broken underneath my feet. It appears that I am a lot stronger than you."
As he raises his sword, Ares said in a devious way "This is your end."
All Wonder Woman could do is close her eyes and pray for help. She has been in many battles while she was in the Justice League and for her life to be ended by this person, she did not want her life to be ended like this.
In horror, Donna cried "Sister, no!"
When the sword was closer to her body, a blast of yellow energy appeared out of nowhere and landed a clean hit on Ares' chest, sending the God of War flying away from Wonder Woman. Opening her eyes in surprise, Wonder Woman was wondering who saved her. All of a sudden, a figure appeared in front of her and landed on their right knee and slammed their right fist on the ground. Focusing her eyesight, standing in front of her was Raizen, the person who fought Metallo.
In rage, Ares got up and yelled "Who the hell did that?!"
After getting up and crossing his arms, Raizen laughed and said "That is very humiliating. I barely used my strength and I managed to knock you away."
"A child?!" Ares yelled, "I have been in thousands of battles and I have been knocked down by a child?!"
When he said that, Raizen growled and said "I am not a child!"
At that moment, Raizen places his hands towards Ares and fires a blast of energy at the god. But in a split second, Ares disappeared and the reappeared behind Raizen and allowed the blast to destroy a nearby statue. Gripping his sword, Ares swings it across Raizen's body. Sensing Ares behind him, Raizen disappeared and reappeared behind the God of War. Right before Ares was going to defend himself, Raizen delivers a powerful knee kick into Ares' back and sends him flying into the sky. When Ares was far away, Raizen flew towards the god in intense speed and was already in front of him. As Ares tried to attack him, Raizen grabs his legs and flew towards the ground while dragging Ares with him. When he was a few feet away from the ground, Raizen throws Ares to the ground and released a giant shockwave. Once the smoke cleared, there was a huge crater with Ares in the center. Just as Raizen landed to the ground and thought he had the upper hand, Ares got up and jumped out of the crater.
Landing in front of Raizen, Ares roared and shouted "You dare make a fool out of me? Ares, the God of War!"
At that moment, Raizen smirked and said "You, a god? Ha! You don't look like one."
Wonder Woman's eyes widen and thought "He is a fool mocking Ares."
Ares points his sword at Raizen and said "You will regret the day you mock Ares!"
Raizen got into his fighting position and said "We will see about that."
I hope you enjoy this prequel battle. And yes, I am going to include Donna Try (Wonder Girl) into the story. But that won't be until later. And in case you are wondering how Ares looks like, if you have played Injustice: Gods Among Us, that is how I picture Ares to be. Next time, the battle between Ares and Raizen.
