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.

A/N: Due to having to cover many events set for this chapter, I had to make this one a 2-parter. Trust me, if I didn't do that then this chapter would have well over 16,000 words and I doubt any of you would want to read that much material in one chapter. Chapter 3 pushed the envelope by having just over 11,000 words in it but I don't want to bog down my readers with extremely long chapters.

Justice League: OOO Unlimited

So far on Justice League: OOO Unlimited…

One – Uva begins his plans by creating three new Yummies from hunters.

Two – To help Eiji out of his depression the League does what they can to help him by using therapy, discussions and training

And Three – A mysterious man lies in a coma at a hospital in Metropolis. What is his purpose and who is he?

—

Located in an unknown region of his subconscious, Eiji was currently floating around deep within the vast recesses of his mind, with J'onn as his guide. Having spent two weeks so far doing therapy sessions and having gone through four training sessions, Eiji was feeling a bit more up to the challenge of confronting more of his more powerful fears. While his minor fears were up front and easily accessible, his more nightmarish fears were kept locked away deep within his subconscious; places where even he wouldn't have expected to look.

"Alright now, Eiji, just relax and take a deep breathe. Today, we're going to face some of the fears that have caused you to become both reclusive and depressed in the past." J'onn said calmly. As long as he stayed calm then so would Eiji and that is what he wanted. "Now, tell me what you see."

"I…I see…explosions." Eiji began, his mind thinking back to events similar to the one where he was unable to save that little girl. "I see dozens of people running for their lives while both the U.S. and Japanese forces are trying to fend off a group of war lords and their militia."

"Very good, you seem to have found a memory that has caused you much pain. So much pain that it seems that this is one memory that makes you feel if you sometimes have what it takes to fight as OOO." J'onn watched the memory play before him from Eiji's mind as if he were watching a movie that was taking place all around him. "I can see it all now. The buildings that are on fire, the countless bodies of the deceased and the horrifying gathering of merciless war lords; I can see it all as if I were there when it happened."

As J'onn looked at the scenes of death and devastation he then noticed a small gathering of Japanese and American soldiers protecting a small group of people who looked more like businessmen than soldiers. Looking closer at them he noticed a young man with messy brown hair and war torn brown eyes watching the horror unfold as a few people who looked like bodyguards held him back, the young man trying his best to escape their grasp to help a mother and her child who were trapped behind enemy lines.

"Why…why did something like this have to happen? If only I had the power that I have now back during that time I could have saved them. I could have stopped the fighting…but…but I was completely useless." Eiji's grasp of reality within the memory began to blur and that was when J'onn took action.

"No Eiji, do not stop!" J'onn commanded, his voice a bit more serious but still holding a reassuring tone to it. "This memory frightens you to where there are times you doubt if you can save people. I have seen your abilities and also memories of your past actions as OOO so let me say that, by those memories alone, you are not a failure; you are not useless. Now stand up and face your past. Face it and accept this past as a part of your being. Learn from it and draw wisdom from it and then, only then, will you be able to move forward. Now…push forward!"

Eiji took a few deep breathes, his body slowly becoming more sturdy to the harsh memory. He would hate this moment of his past life until the end of time, it would always scare him to no end and he would never stop being afraid of a possibility that something similar to this memory would happen again. It had come close so many times during his fights as OOO but he pushed forward. After that battle with Maki and losing Ankh he thought that he just couldn't go on. But Ankh's spirit drove him on. The Justice League gave him a foundation to improve his life. So now it was up to him to decide if he wanted to continue being OOO, or just end up turning into a mindless beast of destruction. The same type of beast he had spent most of his life fighting against, the type of beast that he had been trying to defeat over and over again.

"H-hai, J'onn-san.!" Eiji shouted as his focus strengthened. He continued to watch the memory, one of his greatest fears being replayed before him. But he would not falter before it. He would remain strong and stand his ground against his greatest enemy, himself. After watching the memory fade away J'onn slowly eased Eiji back into his conscious mind as the young Rider slowly woke up from his trance. After taking a few moments to collect his thoughts and relax his strained mind, Eiji sat up and looked over at J'onn who sat before him.

"Well done Eiji. That was a brave thing you were able to do just now." J'onn spoke softly so as to help Eiji relax. "Not many people can face their greatest fears that they themselves have locked away in their minds. But you are slowly gaining ground. Soon you won't need these therapy sessions anymore and you'll be able to move forward."

"Hai, arigato…J'onn-san." Eiji replied, bowing his head politely. "Ano…if I may ask, just how many more fears must I face? Even I've lost count of how many I've developed over the years."

"Well, you've conquered all of your minor fears last week and so far this is the second major fear that you seemed to have kept hidden away. But by the decrease in the amount of mental strain that I seem to be reading from you I would surmise about…another two months worth of therapy." This caused Eiji to sigh a bit as he knew something like that was just going to be sitting in the back of his mind for the rest of the weekend. "But don't worry Eiji, these last few fears will only be taken on once a week. So your therapy will only take place every Monday."

"And then I'll have conquered all of my fears?" Eiji asked hopefully.

"To a point, yes. But remember, even a conquered fear can still cause the greatest of warriors the greatest trouble in battle." J'onn warned. "You must never forget that, even though you will have conquered them all someday, they will never go away. You will only know how to deal with them when they appear in some form later in life."

Eiji smiled as he got out of the chair and stood up, stretching out his back. He was currently dressed in a variant version of his training clothes but these were meant to act more as his regular clothes while he wasn't training. He wore black ankle high boots with green stripes on them and also a black shirt and long pants. His pants also had green stripes on them while his black shirt had the multi-king symbol on the left part of his chest. Yellow stripes went from the symbol and down the sleeves of his arm and the bottom of the shirt. The long neck on the shirt had a single red stripe on it that also connected to the symbol. As Eiji cracked his back some more his eyes glowed purple for a moment and then smiled as he looked at the door.

"Well, it seems that my purple medals are calming down some. I guess I'm probably getting used to being part human and part Greeed."

"That's a good thing I suppose. At least this way we know you'll have a less likely chance of losing control any time soon." J'onn replied as he led Eiji to the doorway. "Now come, I need to go and attend to looking over the last few system scans and it's already noon so you should go and eat something."

"Hai." Eiji replied as his stomach started to growl. No one said that therapy was ever going to be easy; or short for that matter. "I am a bit hungry. Well, I'll see you later J'onn-san."

"Enjoy your meal, Eiji." Once outside the room J'onn stopped and looked back at Eiji as he was about to head to the galley. "Oh, Eiji?" J'onn called out which Eiji replied to by looking back at him. "Superman said he wanted to talk to you once you were done with your therapy today. He said there was something important he wanted discuss with you if I'm not mistaken."

"Wakata." With that they went their separate ways as Eiji made his way to get some lunch while J'onn went to go check on the last of the system scans. They only had one more week until the League opened its doors to any hero that wanted in so they needed to make sure that everything was fully in order.

Chapter 4:

The Farm, the Beautiful Alien Girl & Warrior Re:Birth (PART 1)

Author: Toku Warrior

—

Walking down the hallway while heading to the meeting room to meet with Superman, Eiji was currently talking with Ankh about how Dr. Fate was fairing at restoring his life. Fate had sparred no rest for this task as he loved a good challenge and he wanted to fully understand how the Core Medals worked. He had been unable to make a connection with their old world but it was probably for the best.

"So, Fate-san is still having a hard time trying to rework Gara's alchemy on your shattered Core?"

"Yeah, even I can't believe how hard it is. It does sound simple to do but I forgot how complex Gara was with that alchemy of hers." Ankh said with a bored sigh. He was sick and tired of being stuck as a ghost with only Eiji, Superman and Fate being able to see him. "Ah mou, what I wouldn't give to be able to smack around a Yummy right now so that I can relieve some of this frustration!"

Eiji just chuckled slightly at Ankh's expense. He was used to seeing Ankh's famous short temper and even short lack of patience so seeing him act out in such a way was normal for him. They soon came upon the door that led to the meeting room while they finished up their conversation.

"Ankh, let's be glad that there are no Yummies to fight against right now. I'm still not sure if I still have what it takes to fight again and you don't have your body so we're both at a disadvantage for the moment."

"Huh? I thought your therapy was getting better?" Ankh asked as he had heard the Eiji's mental condition was slowly starting to improve. Sure he wasn't completely battle ready for a real fight but at last his training sessions had shown that he hadn't lost his edge in battle. Ankh would always be more of the tactician for their little duo but Eiji did have his moments.

"It is but it's only helping me deal with my fears at a slow pace." Eiji replied with a sigh. His therapy sessions with J'onn were really a great help as he had found the strength to overcome quite a few fears but he still had so much more to be afraid of. And his greatest fear would be the hardest to fight against since it was something that was, in a way, a part of his destiny; a destiny involving the world and his purple medals.

Looking at the door, Eiji pushed the button on the side to cause the door to slid open so that he could enter. Following him in, Ankh was soon surprised to see not only Superman but also Dr. Fate and Flash with him as well.

"Oi, what's the meaning of this? I thought that only Superman wanted to see Eiji." Ankh spat out, somewhat irritated.

"Calm down Ankh, there's a reason why they're here as well." Superman replied while gesturing to the others. "Flash is here as he also needs to tell Eiji something and Fate is here because he wants to go over some new findings he's been able to uncover regarding your Core Medals."

"I see, well then," Ankh looked down at Eiji, "Eiji, I'll leave you with these two for today."

"I take it that you're going back with Fate?" Ankh nodded his hand in reply and he soon followed Fate out of the door and towards the teleporter bay. Eiji then returned his gaze upon both the Flash and Superman and he began to wonder what they wanted to talk about. "So…you wanted to see me?"

"As a matter of fact we did." Superman replied. "Eiji, we've all been talking it over for the past couple of weeks and we've noticed that, even though you are starting to feel more at home here on the station, you still seem a bit apprehensive towards us in some way."

"Oh, I didn't mean to do so on purpose." Eiji said as he apologized quickly.

"Relax man, its cool." Flash said as he placed a hand on Eiji's shoulder. "We just think that with us knowing who you are and all while you know nothing about us is a but unfair. We're your friends and you've been really honest with us so we figured…" Flash trailed off for a second as he took his hand and pulled back on his mask, pulling it behind his head to reveal his real face with his short scruffy red hair and soft brown eyes. "…that it was high time that we introduced ourselves."

To say that he was shocked would be the understatement of the century. He was completely shaken to his core. He knew that these heroes guarded their identities with their lives because if any of their enemies ever found out about them then they would not stop until they made them suffer. To see Flash without his mask on, to have him sharing his true identity with him, made Eiji feel strangely relieved. He could feel that they trusted him more so than they ever had when he first showed up.

"Eiji Hino, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Wally West of Keystone City…and also the fastest man alive." Wally replied with a big grin while extending his hand. Taking his hand, Eiji shook it while smiling as well.

"It's nice to finally meet you too, West-san."

"Please, just Wally will do. Well, actually, only call me Wally when I'm not in costume and off the superhero clock." Wally said as he placed a hand behind his head, a sheepish look on his face.

"Hai." Eiji replied and then found Superman standing next to Wally.

"Clark Kent; it's nice to meet Eiji." Clark said as he also extended his hand out as well which Eiji took and smiled. "And please, same rules that Wally set down apply to me as well."

"I understand. I thank you both for trusting me with your lives." He then looked around and noticed that something was off. "Ano…where's Batman? I haven't seen him around since my last training session."

"Oh, Bats? He'll be around sometime later this week. Of course, he's still not sure if he can trust you with his identity. Don't take it personally; he just has…trust issues." Wally told him as he slid his mask back on. It was okay to take it off now with Eiji in on his secret but he didn't want to chance a tower employee walking in and seeing who he was. There were at least one or two people working there that were both from Keystone and Central City and he didn't want to be recognized.

"It's okay, I understand. He has been pushing me really hard lately and he still seems to think of me as unpredictable." As the tension in the air lightened Eiji looked back at the both of them and then thought of something. "So, was this the urgent discussion that J'onn-san told me about?"

Superman and Flash looked at one another and smiled a bit as they turned to face Eiji once more. "This was only part of it really. There was something else I wanted to ask you."

"What would that be?"

"Well, Eiji, you've been cooped up here in the Watchtower for so long I was wondering if you'd like to go down to our Earth and spend the weekend with my folks at the family farm. It'll just be for a couple of days and it would be a great way for you to take in the sights and some much needed fresh air."

"Really?" Eiji asked. He had wanted to explore this new Earth for a few days now but he had been hesitant on leaving the security of the tower. But he knew he could use the air and maybe some time away from the tower and having his feet on some real ground would do his mind some good. He thought about it for a moment as he weighed the pros and cons and thought nothing could really go wrong. Heck, the worst that could happen would be that Uva or a Yummy would attack a city. "Well, do you really think it's okay if someone like me is among your family? I mean, I'm not entirely human anymore."

"Hey, don't worry about. Big Blue's folks are some of the nicest and most down to Earth people that you'll ever meet. And I doubt you'd want to come back up here after trying some of Ma Kent's cooking." Flash replied with a longing look on his face for the old lady's cooking. Superman let out a small laugh at that remark and just smiled at the thought of Eiji falling in love with his mothers' cooking.

"He's right Eiji. You'll fit in just fine. My parents know all about us so that, if for some reason we need to go into temporary hiding from an enemy, we can use the barn as a safe house if we can't get back up to the Watchtower."

"So, does that mean that they also know about me, too?" Eiji was a little worried. He didn't want people to get hurt because of him.

"No, not yet. But if you decide to go then I would want to inform them about who you are. This way they can let us know if something were to happen to you without the two of them freaking out. And besides, my cousin will be there with them and it might be nice for you to have someone close to your own age to talk with."

"Don't you mean someone his own age and gender to talk with, Sup's?" Flash asked mockingly which got Eiji's attention.

"Your cousin? I think I read some of the files you guys have on her. Supergirl, whose name is also Kara Zor-El and also Superman's kid cousin; she is also one of the most powerful women on the planet. And, if I recall correctly, she's also been asked to join the new League upon opening day. Did I leave anything out?"

"Not really. That's some pretty nice detective work you've done there." Superman said with his arms crossed. He was starting to wonder just what Eiji had been looking through as only League members and staff had access to such files.

"Gomen, I kind of hacked my way into the mainframe one night. I might seem simple minded but coming from a well of family does have its benefits. I just can't seem to use my brain properly most of the time." Eiji replied as he did a knocking impression of his knuckles against his head.

After going over the final few details of that topic on how next time Eiji should just stay out of the mainframe unless he wanted an angry Batman on his heels, Superman brought up the original topic at hand.

"Well, what do you say? Want to go planet side this weekend?"

"Hai, I would like that very much. Plus it would give me a chance to actually see if I can track Uva at long distances. If anything, a weekend outing will help me hone my enhanced senses."

"Then it's settled then. Since its Thursday we'll leave tomorrow morning. Then we'll come back to the Watchtower on Tuesday afternoon. This way I can show you the sights of Metropolis and maybe take you out to a men's clothes store and get you some decent clothes." Superman suggested. Eiji nodded his head in approval and then left for his quarters to start getting things together. He was lucky that both John and Wally had some extra clothes on hand which they kindly gave him. Of course, with Clark's offer to buy him some new clothes would want to make sure to pack light.

— Friday Morning – Watchtower Teleporter Bay —

Standing on top of the teleporter platform was a well dressed Clark Kent in his usual dark blue business suit and red tie. He had his hair combed and had a single long bang hanging out in front. In his hand was a brief case and on his face was pair of glasses with fake lenses. He looked at the command station for the teleported to see both Batman and Wonder Woman standing there and they were all waiting for Eiji to show up. Clark looked at his watch and then looked back up at the doors, a small look of irritation on his face.

"Just where the heck is that boy? I told him to be here at seven."

"Maybe he slept in. Batman did push him kind of hard yesterday in the simulator." Wonder Woman said so as to ease Clark's worry.

"I wanted to make sure that he would be able to maintain control of his body. Remember, we haven't tested his PuToTyra form or his Greeed form yet so he's still unpredictable." Batman said in monotone as he looked down at the screen in front of him.

Just as they were about to call out to Eiji on the intercom they heard the sudden noise of a few tower staff members shout out in protest as well as a few Japanese apologies being uttered at well. They then noticed the doors open up to allow a quick black and yellow blur through which then stopped right in front of Clark, the form of OOO in his LaToraTah form panting a bit as he held a duffle bag slung over his shoulders.

"Eiji, what kept you and why are you using your LaToraTah combo?" Clark asked sternly.

"Gomen nasai! I was a bit exhausted last night and woke up only thirty minutes ago. So I had to rush with showering and other things and noticed that I was running late and that's why I used LaToraTah to make it down here without being left behind." Eiji explained quickly as he canceled out the transformation and returned to his human form.

"I see, well then I'll let it slid. You all set?" Clark asked with a small smile. He couldn't wait to see the look on Kara's face when she met Eiji, not to mention the fact how she would react to his transformations.

"Hai." was Eiji's only reply. Clark looked back at Batman and nodded and soon the two were teleported from the Watchtower to another location on the Earth.

—

— Metropolis General Hospital —

Inside the room of the young comatose man, one of the doctors was going over his chart while the nurse from that evening came into the room to do her daily cleaning. Even if he was in a coma he still needed a clean room to sleep in and the nurse admitted to herself that he was really cute as well. As she moved the chair with his personal belongings to the side so that she could clean the desk and reach the trash can next to it she heard the sudden metallic pang as something like a coin dropped to the tile floor. Looking down she noticed that she had knocked over the shattered coin half when she had moved the chair. Picking it up, she placed it back on top of his bag and then went back to cleaning.

As she cleaned the doctor was checking the young mans vitals and body reaction when he noticed his eyelids starting to bulge from left to right as his eyes darted back and forth from behind his eyelids. 'Hmm, he must be dreaming. A good sign that he might wake up soon.' The Doctor looked over to the nurse as she finished cleaning and moved the chair back next to the desk and then he looked back at his patient. He knew that they would soon be able to help this man find his way home once he woke up but only time would tell when he would finally awaken.

—

— Metropolis: Clark's Apartment —

Walking around inside the apartment that belonged to the man of steel, a young woman who looked to be no older than her early thirties was walking around while glancing at the watch on her wrist and then back to the big open window in front of her. She let out a sigh as she folded her arms under her breast line. 'They're late. I swear, Smallville just loves to make me wait for things like these.' the woman thought as she ran her fingers through her long silky black hair which reached the middle of her back.

Looking back at her watch she picked up her bag and started heading for the front door when she heard the ever too familiar noise of someone teleporting into the apartment. Looking behind her she saw both the forms of Clark and a young man of Asian decent appear before her. After a few seconds the lights from being teleported to the apartment died down, allowing the two travelers to take in the sight of the apartment.

"Sugoi ne, Kent-san. I never knew that you had such a nice home." Eiji stated as he looked around a bit.

"Thanks, and remember, it's just Clark. There's no need to be so formal with us Eiji." Clark reminded him as he smiled at Eiji's politeness. Not many heroes his age showed much respect to their elder heroes so it was quite refreshing.

"Yeah, it's a nice place. Kind of hard to believe that the salary that Smallville here makes can afford something like this." came a voice from behind them. They turned around to notice the young woman who quickly walked over and pulled Clark into a big hug as she placed her lips against his, the man of steel returning the gesture as Eiji watched on with some slight interest. After a few seconds the woman pulled away with a satisfied smile on her face which Clark also wore. "What kept you?"

"Sorry Louise, but Eiji here kinda slept in. Batman put him through a tough training session yesterday so he didn't wake up on time." Clark explained as Louise examined the young man.

"Well, I guess I can let it slide." she said with a smile. "So, is he that armored guy that you told me about? You know, the one who suddenly appeared in the sky above Paradise Island?" Eiji looked at her and then back at Clark with a bit of nervousness in his eyes.

Clark saw the look in his eyes and quickly slapped himself mentally for the small mistake. "Yeah, that's him alright. He's been living on the tower ever since we brought him up there." He then turned to Eiji with an apologetic look on his face, "Sorry Eiji, I forgot to mention that Louise knows all about us too. But don't worry though; she won't reveal your secret to anyone. If she can keep my identity a secret then I know she can keep yours."

Eiji breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of innocent people knowing who he was but he didn't know who he could fully trust here on this new Earth just yet. But if Clark was vouching for her then she must be a good person which made her okay by his standards.

"Trust me, my lips are sealed. Besides, if I can keep Smallville's true identity a secret after it took him nearly over five years to tell me his real name then I doubt you'll have to worry about me that much." Clark cringed at that part a bit. Louise had not been very forgiving of him after that. She felt both hurt and put out that he would take so long to her who he was. It was just shortly after the Thanagarian invasion ended that he gathered up enough strength to let her in on his secret. She didn't speak to him for over a month after that but she eventually cooled off and accepted it. Batman had also explained it to her that it was for her own protection due to how much Clark cared for her. If anything had happened to her because she knew who he was then he didn't know what he'd do.

"Louise, you're not going to keep hanging that over my head, are you?" Clark asked with a pathetic look in his eyes. Eiji laughed a bit at the sight of seeing Earth's most powerful champion being defeated by a mere human woman. He guessed this is what it meant when a man was whipped.

"Just long enough until I feel that I've had my fill. And judging by the reaction I'm getting it won't be anytime soon." Now Eiji was laughing so loud that he broke the romantic banter between the two love birds. "What's so funny kid?"

"G-gomen, but I've never seen him back down like this in any of the files I've seen on him. He can go toe to toe with this so called Darkseid yet he's powerless against his girlfriend." Eiji just could stop laughing. He was a kind person but even he found things like this funny sometimes. Louise thought about it for a second and then joined in as well as she laughed and they soon found Clark laughing as well.

"Not to shabby newbie. You might just make it here in this reality." Louise said as she wiped a few tears of joy from her eyes. She then looked back at her watch and then turned and gave Clark another kiss before heading for the door. "Well, I need to get going. There's a new museum exhibit opening tomorrow but Perry got us a special interview with the curator this morning. So I'll see you boy's later." she said as she opened the door and walked into the hallway. But before she closed it she poked her head back in with a warm smile plastered on it, "Eiji, welcome to Earth."

Eiji nodded a thank you as Louise shut the door, leaving the two of them alone in the apartment. Eiji then thought of something as he remembered the teleported bay controls. He had been shown how to work them one day while the League had gone on a mission and he had decided to go through the teleporters' library but noticed that he never did see any coordinates for the Kent Farm.

"Clark, I was wondering…"

"What is it?"

"How come your parents' farm isn't listed in the teleporter registry?"

"That's to keep them safe. Think about it. What if one of our enemies gained access to the file locations of all the coordinates that were listed in the teleporter's database? Then they could easily locate any of us. By keeping a few locations a secret, it not only protects our families but also gives us at least a place to lay low if we are ever hunted down by our enemies."

Eiji thought about this and found himself agreeing with Clark's reasoning. As he looked back at Clark he noticed that he was opening the window and started to float up into the air. He figured that Clark chose this apartment as it would give him the best vantage point of being able to fly in and out without drawing too much attention to himself.

"Well, let's go." Clark said as he offered one of his hands to Eiji but Eiji, instead, just tossed him his duffle bag. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, but I feel like stretching my wings a bit, that is if you catch my meaning." Clark nodded and then noticed Eiji pull out the OOO-Driver and place it against his waist, the belt strap fastening the driver onto his body as the O-Scanner and Medal container took form on the sides of the belt. Eiji then ejected three medals from his body and grabbed them as they fell down towards him. Sliding them into the driver and then tilting it into position, he motioned for Clark to move aside as he didn't want the excess energy to damage anything in his apartment. Taking the O-Scanner in his hand, he bolted for the window as he slid the scanner over the driver. "Henshin!" With that, he jumped out the window and started to plummet towards the ground.

"TAKA – KUJAKU – CONDOR…TAJADOR!"

In an instant, Eiji's body was quickly covered in flames as the phoenix symbol slammed onto his chest, creating the emblem of his current combo as his armor finished forming. Expelling the flames from around his body, Eiji quickly summoned his wings and then banked as hard as he could until he flew straight back up into the air to see Clark already airborne, floating there waiting for him.

"I see, so you wanted to fly under your own power then?" Eiji nodded as Clark handed him his duffle bag back and then they both started to rise into the air more. "Alright then, but try to keep up." And with that the two of them were off like a pair of rockets and on their way to the Kent Family Farm for the weekend.

— Woodlands outside of Metropolis —

Walking through the brush of the forest surrounding him, Uva slowly made his way towards the city of Metropolis. But he wasn't alone as his three new Yummies followed closely behind him from within the shadows. As they came upon a small lake near the forests' edge Uva looked up and saw a green sign with the distance to Metropolis listed on it.

"Eh, so this Metropolis is only another ten miles away, huh? Well then, it's time to see if this so called 'Man of Steel' can handle the powers of the Greeed." Uva said to himself which caused the three hidden Yummies to cackle from within the shadows as they shared their masters' feelings on the subject. With any luck, Uva wouldn't have to deal with OOO at all but he would not jinx himself that easily. He knew that if OOO did show up then he'd have to be dealt with quickly unless he wanted to be destroyed before he could show this world his personal nightmare. Looking back at the shadows behind him Uva just slightly nudged his head in the direction of Metropolis with one simple command. "Go!"

—

— Smallville, Kansas: Kent Family Farm —

Flying through the air was fun and exhilarating for Eiji as it had been some time since he was able to feel the wind in his face…well, his armored face anyway. He knew that it would only be a matter of time until Fate found a way to restore Ankh to corporeal form so Eiji wanted to enjoy using TaJaDor at his own discretion for just a bit longer. He was also going to give Ankh some of the other Core Medals as well to help make up for his three lost medals as he figured it was for the best.

While flying through the air Eiji used the power of enhanced sight granted to him by the Taka Medal to see the fields and streams that Smallville had to offer and he just smiled at how peaceful it all seemed. The whole county looked so surreal, as if it was from one of those vacation brochures that you would normally find at a gas station or a convenience store. Looking over at Clark he noticed the hero starting his decent which he too followed as they came down to the front yard of a beautiful two story white house with a picket fence surrounding it. Landing softly on the ground Eiji could see a few chickens running around and he even heard some cows mooing from the field on the other side. He then looked over to see a big red and brown barn and a few bales of hay in front of the barn doors.

"Ah, home sweet home." Clark said as he took in the country air. He looked behind him to see Eiji staring at the chickens and then saw him relax his body. Eiji also let out a sigh of relief as he sounded content with his new surroundings. "You can go ahead and disengage your transformation now, Eiji."

"Oh, okay then." Eiji replied as he set the Driver back to its horizontal position, canceling out his transformation and sending the three Core Medals back into his body. Taking a deep breathe he let out a content sigh as he took in the sights once more. "It all seems so…quant. It has the feel of a simple life style but also the feel of a life worth living."

"Well I'm glad you like it. Come on, let's go see if my folks are in and get you set up for the next couple of days." Clark said as he walked up the steps and opened the door, motioning for Eiji to follow him in.

"Hey, do your folks…you know…know about me? You said you were going to tell them if I agreed to come with you."

"Yes, I did. I made sure to give them the full story though. This way they'll know what to say and what questions they shouldn't ask. Some of your past memories are still hard on you and I want you to just sit back and relax for the weekend." Clark explained as they entered the house, closing the door behind them as Eiji set his bag down on the floor as he looked around.

"Sugoi…it looks so…so comfy. It has a real down-to-Earth feel to it." Eiji said with ease.

"Thanks, but what else would you expect for those who live on a farm?" Clark asked while trying to stifle a small laugh. They then moved into the kitchen as Eiji picked his bag back up. "Ma, Pa, is anyone home?" In an instant they heard noise coming from the stairs as the sound of footsteps coming down to them could be heard. Eiji then noticed the sight of a woman with grey hair and a soft and kind face walk over to greet them.

"Clark, welcome home." Mrs. Kent said as she pulled her son into a hug. After a moment she pulled away and looked at Eiji while Clark kept an arm around his mothers' shoulder. "Sweetie, is this the young man you were telling us about last night?"

"Yes Ma, that's Eiji Hino." Clark then looked over at Eiji, "Eiji, I'd like you to meet my mother, Martha Kent."

"Hajimimashite, dozou yoroshuku onegaishimasu." Eiji said as he bowed politely in a greeting. Clark had explained Japanese customs to his parents the night before hand after Batman had given him a crash course in the culture. Martha, not wanting to insult the young man, bowed in return and then took the young man in a hug like she had done with Clark a moment earlier.

"Welcome to our home Eiji. I hope that you'll enjoy your stay here for the next couple of days." Clark began to look around as Martha led Eiji over to the table so that she could start getting lunch ready.

"Hey Ma, where's Pa…oh, wait, never mind. I can hear his cursing from here." Clark said as he headed for the back door.

"That's because he's messing with the tractor again." Martha told him as he exited the house. Turning to Eiji, "Don't mind it too much dear, Jonathan is a nice man but he's as stubborn as his machines. He just needs a little help with the chores every now and then."

"I see. Well, while I'm here I wouldn't mind lending a hand with anything that you two might need help with. Besides, I could use the exercise and this fresh air would make the workout much more enjoyable." Martha smiled at his willingness to help and she just knew that he'd fit right in with the rest of the others, especially Kara.

As they continued their conversation they soon heard the back door open and looked to see Clark walk back inside with an older man following right behind him, the older man using a small cloth to wiped the dust off of his glasses before he stuck them in his overall's front left pocket. Leading his father over to the table as Eiji got up, "Pa, I'd like you meet Eiji Hino. He's the young man I was telling you about last night over the phone." Looking back at Eiji, "Eiji, this is my father, Jonathan Kent."

"It's a pleasure to meet ya son." Jonathan said as he held out his hand.

"Hajimimashite, dozou yoroshuku onegaishimasu." Eiji said as he bowed in return before righting himself and shaking Mr. Kent's hand. Jonathan wasn't used to foreign customs but he figured he would get used to Eiji's soon enough.

"Well, now that that's over with how about an early lunch?" Martha suggested. Jonathan beamed as he headed right for the table and took a seat.

"Dear, that's the best question I've been asked all day. Sit down boys. It's time to dig in." Clark and Eiji joined them and they soon began to eat while stuffing themselves with a nice home cooked meal. They made sure to leave some for Kara so that she could have something to eat once she got home from school which they put inside the fridge.

As they got around to doing the dishes Clark suddenly put his hand to his ear which held his communicator and listened to someone on the other side. "Sorry Ma, Pa, but I need to get going. There's a volcano erupting on a small island in the Pacific and the League has been asked to help out with the evacuations:" Clark said as he headed for the front door; his parents watching him leave.

"Should I go with you? I might be able to help." Eiji asked.

"It's okay, we got this one. You should just relax for now and let yourself get used to our Earth." And with that Clark was gone in a blur. Eiji looked out the window and then sighed. He didn't like feeling useless but the League wanted him to be sure of himself. They didn't want him going out to help people if he didn't fully believe that he wanted to be a hero again.

"It'll be okay son. Clark has everything under control and you know he'd call you in if they needed the extra help." Jonathan told him which seemed to help Eiji relax a bit. Jonathan then led Eiji to the back door while Martha continued with the dishes. "Come on, let's go do some old fashioned hard work out in the field to help get your mind off of things while Ma finishes cleaning up." Eiji nodded as he followed Mr. Kent out the door while Martha smiled at them.

Once they were outside Eiji could see the old green tractor sitting there as if it were waiting to come back to life. Walking over to it Eiji placed a hand on it and then looked back at Mr. Kent. "So, what's wrong with it?"

"Not too sure. I'll get it running for a few minutes but after that it will suddenly start to shudder and then shut off." Jonathan replied as he opened the hood latch and looked at the engine. Eiji joined him as they began working on the tractor.

"Well, I'm not too sure on how the mechanics work on a tractor but let's see what we can do."

"I'm game. Maybe with the two of use working on this we might be able to figure out what's wrong." Jonathan let out a sigh as he put his glasses back on. "What I wouldn't give just to have Clark's X-Ray vision sometimes. Then I could see what was wrong before ever taking this old girl apart." This gave Eiji an idea. He had used a similar tactic once back in his own world when fighting Kazari. Ankh had pointed it out to him and the move had gotten him the final Core Medal he needed to gain the ShaUTa combo.

"Mr. Kent, I might have something similar that could be of some help." Jonathan looked at him and then remembered what Clark had told him about Eiji's transformations.

"What, you got a transformation that could be of some use?" Eiji nodded and then stepped back as he took out the Driver and fastened it to his waist again. He then summoned three medals which he grabbed and slid into the Driver before passing the O-Scanner over it.

"Henshin!"

"TAKA – UNAGI – CHEETAH!"

The familiar suit and armor formed over his body as the powers of the hawk, electric eel and cheetah were granted to him by the three Core Medals. Jonathan watched in awe as Eiji then used the sight powers of his Brave Eyes to see into some of the tractor. Theoretically, if the Taka Medal could give him the ability to see inside a Greeed so that he could locate Core Medals then it could do the same with looking for a weak spot in the Tractor.

After looking around for a few moments Eiji soon noticed a few pieces out of alignment within the Tractors' engine and relayed the information to Jonathan. They soon went to work with Eiji still in armor. Using the powers of the Unagi Medal, he would absorb any electrical backlash so that Jonathan wouldn't get hurt. It took them about twenty minutes or so but they soon got it fixed as they closed the hood latch.

"Well, that should do it." Eiji said as he deactivated his transformation. He wasn't even the least bit exhausted from the work of fixing the tractor and even using TaJaDor for such a long period of time, just to fly to Smallville, hadn't been as draining as it used to be. He really wanted to get his body looked at by the League once he got back to the Tower.

"I hope so." Jonathan said as he climbed up and started the tractor. It soon came to life and within minutes he had picked up where he left off. After spending a few minutes going over the field with the tractor, he came back and stopped neat Eiji. "Hey Eiji, while you're hear, do you think you could go and get those bales of hay up onto the barn's second floor and then chop up some fire wood? I was thinking of maybe having a small family get together later tonight. You know, roast some marshmallows and tell stories over an open fire."

"Hai, leave it to me." With that Eiji summoned three new medals and slid them into the Driver before passing the scanner over them, transforming once more. "Henshin!"

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

In an instant, Eiji transformed into Kamen Rider OOO once more and went right to work. He couldn't remember the last time he had done such hard labor but it felt invigorating to him as he got to taking the hay into the barn.

— Metropolis: 2-n-half hours later —

It was close to early afternoon as the streets in Metropolis were slightly congested by the throng of cars and buses coming and going as some of the people left for their afternoon lunch breaks. It was almost noon and a young man in a nicely polished red sports car was driving down the road at a pretty high speed while his girlfriend cheered him on from the passenger seat next to him.

"Wahoo! Come on Troy, drive faster!" the girl, a brunette, squealed at the top of her lungs in excitement.

"Anything for you Briana!" Troy shouted back to her in an aristocratic tone as they came barreling down the highway, almost taking out a guy riding a Harley.

The speed of the car increased and the two of them were having the time of their lives but that was soon ended when a strange creature came slamming down onto the road in front of them. Seeing the monster, Troy hit the brakes as hard as he could but it was unavoidable. But to his surprise the monster easily grabbed the car while it was still coming right at it and swung it around until it slammed it down top first. Troy and Briana screamed out in terror until their screams were silenced forever by the sound of metal slamming into concrete as the car exploded in a burst of flames.

The monster just stood there as it was soon joined by three other creatures, all four of them having an insect-like appearance to them. The lead monster then let out a surge of emerald green lightning from his head horns and began scorching all of the cars and people in the vicinity as they slowly made their way downtown. The other three monsters, one resembling a Spider, the second resembling an Atlas Beetle and the third resembling a Scorpion, quickly went about attacking the people, the screams and terror quickly granting the lead monster even greater power.

"Yes…yes…it's working. I can feel my body growing stronger by the minute. Soon, I'll have enough Cell Medals that not even that so called Justice League will be able to stop me!" The monster then turned to see a woman in a business suit practically sitting on the ground in terror. She had a look of utter terror in her eyes as she scrambled and found herself backed against a wall.

"W-w-w-w-who…a-a-are you?" she mumbled out in a terrified tone.

"My name is Uva. Not that knowing it will matter to you in a few seconds. All I can say though is…welcome." Uva said eerily. The woman was now slightly confused but still terrified.

"W-welcome? Welcome to w-what?" she asked and then noticed his singular eye glow a bright emerald green as he thrust his arm out, letting loose an emerald green bolt of electricity at her, her screams of agony and death music to his ears. The last thing she heard him say before he attacked was only four words.

"Welcome to my Nightmare!"

Next time on Justice League: OOO Unlimited…

The battle for the people of Metropolis begins as Eiji and Kara go toe to toe with Uva and his Yummies. Just as things start to get out of control for our heroes, a new hopes arises from the shadows of Eiji's past in the form of an old friend. Enter the man who desires to 'Protect the World'. Enter, Kamen Rider Birth.
