I do not own any characters from the Justice League Unlimited series or from Kamen Rider OOO. They belong to their creators. I will only claim ownership of any original characters, monsters, Core Medals, Combos and Greeed that appear in this story. This story is set as a cross-section between the JLU and KR OOO. For the moment, this is a one season story but it may develop into a full series if interest in this idea grows and if the reviews are plenty for it.

Justice League: OOO Unlimited

The three things that happened last time…

One – Eiji, along with Ankh and Uva, are transported to a parallel Earth after the defeat of Doctor Maki.

Two – The Justice League and the Amazons are interrupted during a Ceremony when OOO and the Razor Wasp Yummy fight on Themyscira.

And Three – With the power of the unknown Core Medals now coursing through his body, Eiji's Greeedification restarts and he's thrown into a berserk-like state once more.

—

"!" Eiji screamed in his Greeed form, his mind in a cloud of confusion as his Greeed body went berserk.

The sight before them was a monster out of their worst nightmares. His body was now an almost pure black color with the exception of his forearms and lower legs. His lower legs were a dull grey and his knees had pad in front of them in the shape of a small dinosaur skull with frilled edges. The sides of his thighs also had frilled edges as well and had a small orange tint at the frill line. His forearms were a dull purple color while his hands remained black; each finger tipped with bright purple claws. His shoulders looked like armor platting with the same frill pattern on the top like the ones on the sides of his thighs. The side of each shoulder had a jutting spike that jutted first outwards and then down just ever so slightly for at least a foot in length.

A big frill wrapped from the top of his collar area and all the way around the back of his shoulders to resemble that of the shield-like frilled plate of a Triceratops skull. As if to mean more to that point, the center of his chest had a black colored Triceratops head with the horns jutting out in curves. The top center of the Tricera head had a small golden orb embedded in it which resembled the golden orb embedded in the center of his new silver buckle which was at the center of a silver segmented belt with gold inner linings. His head looked like a white Tyranno skull where the mouth held a single lengthy eye plate colored crimson. The skull also had spikes trailing down the back of the head and, where Eiji's mouth would be, as a black metal mouth that slightly resembled that of a human.

Acting on instinct alone, Eiji lunged at the small group of super heroes in front of him which caused them all to duck out of the way. Turning to his left, he quickly struck out with his right arm, intending to slash at the face of the Flash but the super speeder quickly moved to his own right. He then got right in front of Eiji and began to deliver blow upon blow in a flurry of punches that seemed like nothing but blurry motion of red and yellow. Eiji, his chest in pain from the multiple hits, quickly jumped backwards and then lunged his left arm out, sending a destructive wave of purple energy right at the Flash in retaliation.

"Whoa!" Flash shouted as he barely got out of the way as the energy wave passed right over him and slammed into a table of computer equipment, destroying the cluster of machines upon impact.

"And here I thought the demons of Tartarus were powerful." Wonder Woman commented as she jumped over Eiji and landed behind him, binding his arms to his side as she wrapped him up a bear hug. "Okay now, just calm down. We're not going to huraaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" Her sentence was quickly changed to a scream of agony as her body was suddenly frozen from the waist down which Eiji followed up on with a powerful hind kick to her gut, sending the Amazonian Princess flying right into the side of a medical bed back first.

"Diana!" Batman shouted out as he took out a few Batarangs and threw them at Eiji but the human turned Greeed swatted them out of the air with his hand before making a lunge for the dark knight. Coming down on top of him, Eiji took Batman down to the ground and began to punch him in the gut repeatedly until he felt the strong grip of something powerful pick him up and toss him right into the far wall.

"I think that's quite enough out of you." Superman protested as he turned his head towards the Green Lantern. "John, keep him pinned while we get Diana free."

Nodding his head in understanding Green Lantern aimed his ring at Eiji and let loose a stream of energy at the Greeed, wanting to keep him subdued but without hurting him anymore than her already was. But the berserk Eiji had other ideas as he fired another intense wave of purple energy, using his own destructive power to compete for a foothold against the Green Lantern.

"Man, guess it's safe to assume that these Greeed's are definitely not pushovers!" John grunted as he focused all of his will into not letting his ring be beat by a medal powered monster.

While John kept him busy both Superman and Batman acted quickly in getting Diana's legs free from their icy cast. Flash helped by getting the medical staff out of the room while J'onn stood next to Green Lantern and focused his thoughts as he entered Eiji's mind. He didn't like intruding into the minds of others without their permission and he only did so the first time to learn what he could about the young man. Now he had to in order to find a way to calm him down and return him to normal.

Entering inside Eiji's mind, J'onn could see the images of Eiji's friends and a few images of his family and how he used to live his life before becoming OOO. He then saw the image of his Greeed form and then another Greeed that looked almost identical to his own. Digging deeper, J'onn saw something else; it was the mental shield that was protecting one of Eiji's few dark secrets. Studying the shield, he got the sensation that part of the reason the boy was going berserk was because of what this memory was. Slowly making his way through, J'onn finally made his way through the mental shield only to be blown away at the freezing mental power of what was in his sights. What the Martian saw was an internal struggle of light and shadow within Eiji's soul as he tried to regain control from within his own mind.

The Shadow that Eiji fought was a group of Greeed's that looked different from one another. One was a big hulking brute that seemed more silver in color and wore heavy fitting armor. The second was a slender female looking Greeed that had a small blue cape and an Orca shaped head. The third Greeed looked like slender Wild Cat in armor and on steroids. Then he saw a fourth Greeed which was the identical twin to his own. This Greeed destroyed the other three Greeed's and then turned his attention on the being in light. Or, to be more accurate, the beings in light. One was another Greeed that was red in color and appeared bird-like with control over the element of fire. The other looked like a different armored version of OOO.

His body suit was silvery-white while his armor was mostly a metallic purple with black under casings. The sides of his arms and front of his thighs and stomach had purple stripe patterns running down them. His shoulder armor looked platted around the sides and the tops each had a singular forward facing curved horn. He also had two narrow wing-like flaps hanging from the back of his torso armor and his helmet was black for the most part. But the face of the helmet took on what looked like the appearance of a Pteranodon with wings jutting out from his two emerald green eye pieces while the beak was a solid gold color and looked almost like a gem. In his right hand was a moderately sized battle axe with a dual silver back handle and a front cylinder that was purple in color. The axe blade seemed hollow in the middle but looked somewhat like a Tyranno head. His chest plate had a circular emblem on it outlined in gold trim. It reminded the Martian of a Core Medal. It had three segmented images on it. The top was a Pteranodon while the middle was a Triceratops and the bottom was a T-Rex.

This Dino-OOO and the Bird Greeed were facing off with what was scarring Eiji. It was part of what was making him lose control. That was when the Dino Greeed twin sent out a wave of energy and destroyed the Bird Greeed in front of Eiji's eyes. Eiji dropped to his knees and as J'onn moved closer he was suddenly encountered by a strange set of two different colored lights. One was black and the other was gold and they both didn't seem to like that the Martian was intruding in on their hosts mind. With a sheer force of power, J'onn was quickly ejected out of Eiji's mind as his body was sent hurtling backwards towards the others. Green Lantern was about to call out to him when Eiji suddenly increased his power output, causing the colliding energies to explode. Taking this as his chance, Eiji quickly darted out of the medical bay door and down the hall, scarring the pants off of any staff member he came across ever few intersections.

Chapter 2:

Purple Medals, Berserk Greeedification and the Extended Hand

Author: Toku Warrior

—

Sitting on a table in the medical bay, Batman was gently applying some antiseptic to a cut on Diana's arm while Flash was handing J'onn an ice pack. As the two of them helped their injured teammates, Superman was busy fixing up the medical bay as best he could while John went over the security footage to see if they could locate their highly erratic guest.

"I don't understand. Just what caused him to go-OW!" Diana started to say until she felt the sting of the antiseptic on a sensitive area of one of her cuts.

"Sorry, but I'm almost done here." Batman apologized as he started wrapping a bit of gauze around her injured arm.

"It's okay. Anyway, did you learn why he was freaking out J'onn?"

"Somewhat. I was able to get past one of his stronger mental shields and it seems like his was reliving a nightmare. I saw a Greeed that appeared similar to the form he took on just a few moments ago and, whoever that Greeed was, he terrified Mr. Hino right down to his very core." J'onn took a moment as he sat up and rested his back against the backside of the chair he was sitting in before continuing. "It seems that they may have shared the same set of Core Medals at one time or another and a battle ensued to see who would possess them all. Or at least that is what I could understand from what I was seeing. Whoever this Greeed was, he eliminated all the other Greeed that got in his way."

"So it was the power of the nightmare that pushed you out like that?" John asked as he turned away from the monitor for a moment.

"No, it was something else. There seems to be a great power lying dormant within him. A power that is evolving him even further than what the Core Medals could ever have created. It did not like me in his mind without permission and so that power cast me out." J'onn then looked at all of them and then at the door way. "But I will say this. For the moment, he is scared and possibly confused. We need to try and help him back to his senses."

Batman reached his hand into his utility belt and pulled out the red Core Medal that he kept on him while J'onn held up the shattered medal. Looking over the medals it then dawned on Batman that Eiji's Greeed form may not be anywhere as dangerous as his Rider form.

"J'onn, does he have the power to transform right now? Can he become OOO?" Batman asked, the dark knight already heading for the door.

"No, I do not think so. From what his memories showed me, he needs three certain medal types to pull of a decent transformation. At the moment he only has those two medals inside him while we have the rest of them locked away."

"Do you think he has the ability to track them down?" Batman asked in a monotone voice which caused everyone to look at him. J'onn's eyes went wide as he understood what Batman insinuating. Eiji was too freaked out to sense the single Core that they had in the room but now that he was more focused on staying clear of them, he might be able to hunt down the rest of the Core Medals.

"Alright, everyone split up and find him. If you spot him, contact the others but do not engage him on your own. We want to keep him contained but we shouldn't have to hurt him if we don't have to." Superman ordered and the others nodded as they all headed out. Batman would go to the Javelin Bay while John would return to the Tower Control Room. John and Diana took the East side of the Tower while Flash and Superman took the West side. Both lead straight to the room that held the Core Medal container but this way they would be able to Eiji somewhat faster.

—

Rounding a corner that led to one of the few gyms that the tower had, Eiji stopped in his tracks as he looked around at his surroundings. He senses, like those of a normal Greeed had become dulled for a short time and his mind was still foggy. Though somewhat more reserved, he still felt like an animal backed into the corner of a steel cage. Walking slowly through the gym he turned his head towards a small cooler that held a few racks with bottled water on them. Just as he headed over to the cooler his head snapped up and to the right, looking behind him as he felt the sudden sensation of something calling out to him. Something…familiar.

"Oi, Eiji, can't you hear me?" Ankh shouted though it seemed useless. Sighing, he watched as the Greeed in front of him opened the cooler door and took out a bottle of water, as if curious to what it was. 'Baka, you've lost control again, haven't you? Damn, if only there was someway to…wait, that's it!' His train of thought focused, Ankh floated over and, with perfect aim, whacked Eiji upside his head once more.

Now wondering what kept hitting him, Eiji turned and looked around the gym and staggered backwards at the sight of the ghostly transparent arm of Ankh. "A…A….An…..A-An…Ankh?" Eiji said as he fought to regain control of is mind. Floating backwards, Ankh followed the sensation he was getting from the contained Core Medals. Leading Eiji on, he just hoped that his berserk friend would follow him long enough so that he could spring into action and save his mind.

"That's it Eiji, come this way. Follow the ghostly hand…okay why did that sound so wrong just now?"

—

Flying through the hallway, Wonder Woman kept passing door after door as she searched for Eiji. He was a newcomer to their world and was, most likely, scared out of his mind. 'Poor guy, he must be terrified if he's acting this rash.' She thought as she turned the corner to see non other than Eiji slowly walking down the hallway which led to observation hall where one could look out the windows and view both the Earth and the rest of space. She then noticed that he was acting strangely. It was like he was following something that only he could see but no one else could. 'What on Earth is he doing?'

As she was about to move forward she was stopped by feeling of a hand grabbing onto her shoulder. Turning around she came face to face with both Batman and Superman. With a finger pressed to his lips, Batman instructed her to remain quiet as they looked around the corner and continued to watch Eiji.

"How long has he been doing that?" Superman asked in a whisper.

"I don't know. I just got here and all I've seen him do is slowly walk down this corridor." Wonder Woman replied back in a whisper of her own. "Where're John and Wally?"

"I sent Flash back to help J'onn with tracking him on the monitor while Lantern is ahead of us. He's already in the room with the Core Medals awaiting Eiji's arrival." Batman replied in his own hushed whisper.

Taking a closer look, Superman decided to try and see of he could distinguish what Eiji was actually following. For a man with dozens of different types of vision, it should be a piece of cake. Focusing his eyes he then got what he asked for but was plenty surprised at what he saw.

"What the hell?"

"What is it Clark?" Batman asked quietly. Diana looked up at him and then back at Eiji as he came close to the corner. If he turned that corner it would only be a matter of a few doors before he reached John and the Core Medals.

"You're not going to believe this. But he seems to be following some kind of…ghostly…arm." This caused both Batman and Diana to develop quirked looks as they realized what it was he just exactly said. Placing his finger on the communicator in his ear, he waited for Eiji to turn the corner before calling out to J'onn. "J'onn, come in."

"What is it Superman?"

"J'onn, I'm going to send you a mental image I just saw. Do you think you can place it to why it would have some meaning to Eiji?"

"Of course, give me a moment." Taking a few moments to go over the image of the ghostly arm, J'onn scanned Superman's mind and then traced his own memories of where he had seen that arm before. It only took a moment before he realized what it was. "Superman, that arm is actually a spirit of the Greeed that was once Eiji's friend."

"His friend? Do you think that spirit is trying to help him regain control of his mind?" Diana asked over her own communicator.

"I can't say for certain. But I would keep a close eye on them once they make it to the Core Medal container." After a few seconds of talking to the Flash in the background, "I'll be right there. I might have an idea that could help him regain control. Batman, do you still have that Core Medal on you?"

"Yes." was the simple answer he gave.

"Good, we may need to give it to Eiji. It might be the only way to help him win out against that nightmare of his."

—

Deep inside the Javelin Bay, no one was around and not a sound could be heard except for the usual humming of the anti-gravity system that kept everything from floating all over the place. Next to one of the Javelins a portal shaped like and Egyptian Ankh appeared, glowing a bright blue color as a man started to emerge from it. Wearing a full blue body suit and a golden belt, gloves, boots and cape the man landed gently on the ground as he looked over the hangar through the eyes of his golden full helm.

"Strange…I sense the presence of ancient yet unnatural energies coming from the inside the tower." The man said to himself as floated into the air and headed towards the direction of the strange energy.

—

Slowly entering the room, Eiji's mind was suddenly enveloped by the overflowing power of the Core Medals as their energies pooled together and seeped through their confinements. Ankh himself was silently pleased to see that this Justice League had not destroyed them. Though, it would take some effort, it could be done. As Eiji reached for the container he soon found his body slammed against the wall by the familiar emerald green energy of the Green Lanterns' power ring. Held firmly against the wall, John slowly came into view and calmly walked up to him.

"Alright now, son, just relax and stay there for awhile." John was about to back up when he heard the footsteps of the rest of his team come through door. "What took you guys so long?"

"Sorry, we had to take a moment to come up with a plan." Superman told him.

"Well, did you?"

"Sorta. You see, big green here says that the kid is just afraid of some big bad from his own world but that guy is gone now." Flash said quickly, his impatience showing easily.

"Uh…what?" was the only thing John could say to Flash's reply.

"Mr. Hino is fighting his repressed fears of the Greeed that nearly destroyed his world. Apparently, when he was transported into this world, something from the void he was in took residence within his body. It's so powerful that both his human and Greeed forms can't handle it separately." J'onn said, clarifying everything for the others. "I think it might be best to keep him in an isolation chamber until I am absolutely sure that giving him the Core Medals will work in calming him down."

Nodding in agreement, John slowly placed Eiji in an energy bubble as they took him out of the room and escorted him to an isolation room. Placing him inside, Batman entered the code to activate the Tachyon field which was meant to keep people from getting out. As they turned to leave they were suddenly stopped in their tracks as the site of an old friend flying through the door way surprised them all.

"My friends, I come here trying to find the source of a strange and ancient energy that's been flooding the mana stream for the past couple of days now." The strange man asked.

"Dr. Fate, it is a surprise to see you here. We were just—" J'onn began until he was cut off when Fate walked passed him and saw Eiji banging his fists against the tachyon field, his body still in its Greeed form.

"By the pit, the source of the energy I've been feeling…it's all coming from this creature."

As Fate turned around to talk of his travels in search of the source with the others, Ankh floated above them; watching them all until he saw both J'onn and Batman reveal both his sole Taka Medal and shattered medal to Fate. 'Kisama!' Ankh thought as he saw them with his medals. He was about to try and slip through the wall when he saw Fate looking directly at him. "What are looking at, bowl head?"

"My friend, please, there is no need for such anger." Fate replied to Ankh's surprise. He knew that only Eiji could see and hear him but he had no idea that anyone else could.

"Doc, who are you talking to?" Proof that Ankh was nearly 100% accurate with that assumption. Flash and the others were looking around to try and see what Fate was looking at but only Superman and J'onn knew for certain.

"It's that ghost from earlier. Looks like Fate can both hear and see this thing." Superman told him, trying to calm Flash down. The speedster didn't care for spooks and specters that much and knowing that a ghost was in the room just wasn't sitting well with him.

Floating down low enough so that he was eye level with Fate, Ankh just cursed himself for actually getting spotted. "Anger? Anger? They have MY Core Medals and I shouldn't be angry?" Ankh demanded.

"What are these…Core Medals you speak of?" Fate asked. In response Batman handed Fate the red Taka Medal at which Ankh tried to grab it but apparently, Eiji was the only one Ankh could touch at the moment.

"Give it back!"

"A….A…..Ankh!" Eiji shouted from within his isolation chamber as he slammed his hand against the wall. He then thought of something and placed his palm against the wall where the key pad was located and sent out a burst of cold into the wall. In a matter of moments the key pad began to shoot out sparks as the tachyon energy wall began to fade.

"What the hell is he doing?" John shouted as the tachyon field was about to fade away.

(Insert Theme: POWER to TEARER – Theme for PuToTyra Combo)

In response to the near possibility that he would be free, Eiji's body ejected three purple Core Medals which then slammed into his gut, reverting him back to his human form. The medals then situated themselves into their respective slots as his eyes glowed an eerie violet hue, his own Greeed power about to be unleashed in the form of OOO. The O-Scanner lifted itself off of his belt and floated across the driver as it scanned his three medals.

"It can't be. I thought he didn't have enough medals for a transformation!" John shouted as he and the others stepped back. As the scanner scanned the medals they could hear an explosion from down the hall and they all began to wonder what was going on.

"PTERA – TRICERA – TYRANNO….PUTOTYRANNOSAURUS!" the O-Scanner said as Eiji's body was covered in the familiar purple armor and white body suit of his PuToTyra form. J'onn instantly recognized this form from the memories he saw inside Eiji's mind and he knew that they were in trouble.

Ice began to form on the ground around him as Eiji threw his head back as he brought his arms down, his fingers flexing like claws as he shouted out loudly with a roar of power. The power of the roar caused the ice to shatter and Eiji once again went on the attack, heading straight for Batman; his eyes locked solely on the Core Medal in his hand.

Throwing out a powerful right hook, Eiji's fist connected with Batman's forearm which he was using to block the attack but the force of the blow sent him skidding across the ground and straight into the far wall behind them. With another roar, Eiji moved in again but this time Diana threw a punch to his face, causing him to stagger a bit to the right before he countered by throwing out a left hook of his own. Diana blocked this with her right arm but soon found herself in Eiji's grip as he grabbed her by the elbow and began to freeze her in place one more.

"Damn it all, frozen again?" she complained until she was sent hurtling out of the ice as it shattered from the force of a big boot kick to her stomach. Flying across the room she hit the wall behind her hard, the wind completely knocked out of her. As Eiji moved in he was soon face to face with Superman who moved right into his field of view.

"There are two ways we can do this Eiji. Either you calm down or I make you calm down." Eiji didn't even bother to listen as he charged the man of steel and fought with him with punches and kicks. Superman blocked every one of the attacks but soon found out that, whatever kind of power Eiji really had, it was putting some real power into his attacks.

Striking out with an elbow strike, Eiji went for Superman's face which he easily caught but then found the armored Rider stomping down on his foot. Letting go of his elbow, Superman backed away at the pain of the stomped foot only for Eiji to punch him square in the chest. The Kryptonian was sent flying into a work bench before falling to the ground. He was only down for a second before he got right back up and dusted himself off.

"That had better not have been your best shot. Because if it was…then I overestimated you." Superman said though he knew that that last attack had hurt him pretty good. Not many people could hit him hard enough to where he actually felt it but that punch had hurt.

Just as Superman began to run forward he was suddenly stopped in his tracks as all of the other Core Medals that had been stuck in the container came flying into the room. They whirled around in the air for a few seconds before they began to encircle Eiji's body. Each Medal then suddenly flew into his body one by one; his body jerking with each medal as he screamed in pain at the sensation.

"The Core Medals…but how?" Ankh asked aloud and then looked back at both Batman who had gone over to Diana and helped her up.

(End Theme: POWER to TEARER)

"This has not been my best day." Diana said solemnly as she watched the Medals enter Eiji's body. From what she could understand, it seemed as if the medals were trying to save him, as if accepting him as their new owner.

"Trust me; I've had better so you're not alone." John said as Batman brought her over to them.

"I've had worse." Batman said emotionlessly as he walked over to J'onn and held out his hand, the Martian placing the shattered medal in his opened palm. "Let's just hope that this works." With that, Batman tossed both medals at Eiji who instinctively caught them in his hand.

Looking down at his hand, he saw the shattered medal that was once his friend. A friend he had come to rely one. Sure, they had their fights but they got along in their own way. It seemed weird to some but back then, Ankh needed him and Eiji needed Ankh. Without Ankh, Eiji would have most likely gone on forever without realizing his dreams of gaining the power to reach those that needed his help. But even with the power of OOO he could only help so many and even then many other people were either hurt or had lost their lives because of the Greeed. It tore him up inside and then he remembered how Ankh had wanted to evolve into a Greeed that lived and was not just some pile of medals.

Eiji had felt what being a Greeed was about. He desired the power that they had but also found himself wanting more medals as well. He didn't want to have the need for cell medals but only have the power to help others, even if the cost was him becoming a monster. It scared him but at the same time he accepted it. But he wanted Ankh to have his dream but now he was gone. Ankh wanted to become a new kind of Greeed and Eiji had to wonder what that would feel like. Would it have the powers of a Greeed but also the benefits of being human? He wanted to remain human but he also wanted the power he had obtained. He wanted to stay human but, at the same time, he didn't mind becoming a Greeed as long as it meant that the innocent could be protected. He just wished that there was someway that the two attributes could be combined into a new type of being.

As he looked at the two medals in his hand his eyes began to glow as did the Taka Medal. His body then jerked in a recoil action as two of the Core Medals ejected themselves out of his body and, along with the whole Taka Medal, jammed themselves into the driver, ejecting the Dino Medals in the process and sending them back into his body. Eiji gasped in pain as he looked at the driver at his waist and then reached his hand for the O-Scanner.

"What's he doing?" Superman asked.

"It seems that he has found something to latch onto. A new desire." Ankh replied, not that anyone but Fate could hear him. Fate expressed Ankh's words aloud for him and the others looked around for him. This was something that, to Ankh, was going to take a lot of getting used to.

In a slow motion swipe, Eiji passed the scanner over the medals, allowing the scanner to shout out the medal names in its tune-like rhythm. Superman and the others watched as Eiji's armor changed from that of PuToTyra to another combo that both Ankh and Eiji were very familiar with.

"TAKA – TORA – BATTA….TA-TO-BA…TATOBA...TA-TO-BA!"

As the three medal symbols formed in the air as energy, a multitude of glowing medal symbols encircled Eiji's body as his armor changed. After the transformation was over his body suit and nearly all of his armor was pitch black. The symbol on his chest plate was the usual segmented three animal symbols with the Hawk on top, Tiger in the middle and Grasshopper on the bottom. The emblem was encircled with gold trim as the bottom ends of his small half circle shoulder armor was also trimmed in yellow. The sides of his upper arms had yellow track patterns that led to his forearm armor. Yellow like his Tora Medal, the palms and three stripe underside of the armor was black while the top part of the armor wielded three two foot long claws. The bottom part of the emblem had two green track patterns that went over his stomach and under his belt.

Going over the front of his thighs, the tracks stopped his green knee pads and green leg armor. The front of his throat had a single red track pattern that stopped at his helmet. His helmet was mostly black in color with a single red stripe running down the back. His eye pieces were a soft emerald green color and were framed by a slightly less brave version of a bird wing pattern just slightly similar to that of his TaJaDor form. This was Kamen Rider OOO: TaToBa Combo.

As the power washed over him, Eiji fell to his knees as he finally regained control of his mind and body. Breathing hard he took a few moments to collect his thought as he recalled all of the events that had transpired while he had gone berserk. He could remember it all and, even though he had wanted to stop, his body pushed onward without stopping. To him, it was as if some strange force had causing him to act. Looking up as he quickly snapped his head up to look around him, he noticed everyone just staring at him; as if waiting for him to make the first move.

"Ano…koko wa doko…" he asked as he looked around. Everyone breathed a small sigh of relief. They could see that Eiji had finally regained control. Looking at them all and then noticing all of the injuries that most of them sported because of him, he quickly bowed as he started to apologize. "Ah, minna-san, gomen nasai! Gomen nasai! Gomen nasai!"

"Whoa, whoa, take it easy. Everything is fine now so you don't have to apologize." Superman told him as he placed a hand on his shoulder. Superman was clearly at least a foot taller than he was but he could see the gentle look in the strong mans' eyes. "Well now, since you seem to have gotten your self under control..." he started and then jutted his thumb at the door way, "how about you tell us about yourself and maybe you can explain your little ghost friend over there." Superman pointed to Ankh who was still floating next to Dr. Fate.

"Hai…ano…sorry but…who are you?" Superman laughed at this question as did most of the others wit the exception of Batman. The man almost never smiles so what else is new.

"I'm Superman and that's Batman," pointing over to the dark knight.

"Konnichiwa." Batman replied with a courteous bow which Eiji returned.

"And that's the Flash," pointing over to the red speedster.

"Hi there." Flash said while waving his hand.

"And next to him is the Green Lantern," pointing over to John.

"Nice to meet ya kid." John said with a smile.

"Likewise." Eiji replied kindly.

"Over there is J'onn and next to him is Diana," Superman continued.

"Greeting Mr. Hino" J'onn said which caught Eiji off guard. He didn't remember telling them his name. "Don't be alarmed. I am a telepath and read a few of your memories when we brought you here so that we would know how to tend to you in case you had any unknown complications.

"Oh, I see. That's okay then."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Eiji." Diana said with a smile. Something about her made Eiji wonder if he had done anything wrong to her and then he looked down at her legs and noticed a few remaining fragments of ice on her boots.

"Ah, I remember now. I froze you while I was in both my Greeed form and as PuToTyra. Gomen na—"

"Eiji, please, it's alright. I'm fine. Besides, it's not everyday that someone can get the best of me with the same trick twice I one day." She said; her smile still there on her face. Though she wouldn't say that even though she didn't mind, she never wanted to go through a battle like that with him ever again. Eiji breathed out a sigh of relief as Superman pointed over to the last person of their group.

"And he's called Dr. Fate. He's well versed in the mystic arts so maybe he can help your ghost friend there."

"A pleasure my friend. Maybe once everything has settled down you and I can have a talk about those medals of yours. If I can learn about how they were created I may be of some assistance in helping your friend here." Eiji hurriedly walked over and took Fates hand and shook it enthusiastically.

"Honto? You think you can really help Ankh?"

"It's possible but I would have to try and learn the creation process of the medals before I can say for certain."

"Yokata…ne, Ankh, you hear that?" Eiji asked excitedly which got him a slap upside the head. "Itai….ne, Ankh, why do you keep doing that?"

"Bakayarou! Stop asking sill questions and focus. If Fate here can rework Gara's alchemy then he might be able to either restore my shattered core or transfer my remaining life force to one of my other medals."

Dr. Fate just laughed lightly as Superman and the rest of the League walked Eiji out of the Isolation room and down the hall to the galley. There they spent the next few hours going over every detail of Eiji's past year as OOO. They wanted to know as much as they could about him but also what to expect out of the Greeed now that Uva was still alive.

(Later that night)

After a nice long talk the League had decide that they would let Eiji stay up on the station for the time being until they could decide what to do with him. While it was easy keeping a straight face and looking like nothing was wrong in front of his new friends, deep down he was still hurting inside. Lying down on a bed inside one of the unused quarters, Eiji looked out the window and watched the Earth from afar. He remembered the space motif Rider, Fourze, telling him that seeing the Earth from space was just so breathtaking.

As he watched the Earth his thoughts went back to his friends and his own world. It was most likely that he would never see them again and, even worse, was that for the time being Ankh was stuck as a ghost. He had tried to do things on his own, believing his power alone was enough to defeat Maki but, in the end, Ankh gave his life to prove to him that even the most powerful of warriors need help sometimes. And now he had gone berserk again and attacked a group of people who just wanted to help him. They had forgiven him sure, but he didn't think he had what it took anymore to be a hero. He still wanted to reach out his hands to those that truly needed help but now he found himself miserable and confused. Because now he was filled with emotional pain but also two desires. To protect the innocent and to somehow become a being that transcends both human and Greeed.

"Ne…Ankh?" Eiji called out to his ghostly friend who was just floating there, enjoying the view.

"Nani?"

"I don't know if I can continue being OOO at the moment."

"Huh…baka, what are you babbling about this time?"

Eiji just let out a sigh as he turned out the lights and pulled up the covers. "I…I think it might be best that I don't use OOO until I can figure things out. At this point and time I could go berserk again at any moment."

"That's why it's called training. Train your heart, body and mind and make those medals obey you. Believe in them and they'll help you. Doubt them and they'll destroy you. Remember, desire breathes life and paves the path for evolution. As long as you keep your eye on the prize and accept no substitute, then you'll do fine." He then turned and looked at Eiji before floating over to a pedestal and laid himself down. For being a ghost, he sure could get tired easily. "And remember, what you can't do alone can be done if you let them help you. Besides, if you can't be a hero then how else will you accomplish your desire?"

"Yeah, I guess your right. Oyasumi…Ankh." With that Eiji drifted off to sleep but it wouldn't be a good one. He would end up waking up almost every hour from nightmares of Maki either killing him or his friends or both. But, for now, he would have to bear with it and take every day one step at a time.

"Oyasumi…Eiji."

Chapter 3: Depression, Training and Therapy

—

Toku Warrior: Hey guys, 2 chapters in less than a day from me? That's unusual. Since I'm taking a break from writing Ben 10 Forever I feel like I can focus on some other stories. Mostly this one as well as Kabuto EX and a rewrite I'm working on. But don't fret too much. I'll be getting to all of my currently unfinished stories soon. But for now, it seems that Eiji has finally gotten out of his berserk mode and back to normal for the most part. Now he's gone and gotten into a state of depression. Will he be able to rise out of it and once more be the hero that Ankh knows he can be? And speaking of Ankh. Will he remain a ghost forever or will Fate be able to help him in some way? And what about Uva? When will he strike next? With those two purple medals inside of him you just know he's going to go insane sooner or later.

And for those who are possibly wondering when Cadmus will rear their ugly heads, don't worry. They will but in small doses at first. They big battles with Cadmus are still a long way off so for now it seems Eiji will just have to get his groove back. And what of those Black and Gold Core Medals? With their power now inside Eiji, what's going to happen to him and how will it affect both his human and Greeed forms? Heck how will it affect OOO in general? Stay tuned and find out. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and please R&R. Until the next time, just keep counting the medals.
