This Is getting fun right?
HERE IS CHAPTER FIVE!
When the Kratts arrived at the beach, it was a mess everything was out of place, knocked over, or destroyed and in bits. There was a hoard of gorillas harming a group of teenagers nearby. The bad news, they looked tough and were armed with some sort of laser rifle, the good news there were only fifteen.
They were actually fairy easy. Chris managed to cocoon some of them in vines while Martin managed to beat down the remaining five really easily. The super strength helped. It only took a few punches for him to knock them out.
Chris: Well done, bro.
Martin: Don't mention it. (Martins Cpod began to beep, he pressed the CALL button on it and a hardlight screen with Oracle's avatar appeared.)
Chris: Hey Oracle!
Oracle: We meet again. Nice to see you uh...
They decided to give her their alternate names; they were already in costumes.
Chris: "Jungle Lad."
Martin: "Frost Falcon." Frost for Short.
Oracle: Alright Jungle Lad, Frost. I heard from superman that you two accepted the mission to back up Kid Flash. So, here's some background info. Gorilla Grodd is a hyper-intelligent ape who hates humanity. He believes that apes, meaning himself, should rule. As if Brainiac weren't bad enough. Head over to the Queensland Boardwalk. Superman has more work for you if you want to save Kid Flash.
The two headed over to the Queensland Board walk. There they received a call from Superman.
Superman: Those Gorilla Troopers are trapping civilians using Grodd's Devolution Devises. Destroy those devises and free the citizens.
Jungle Lad: Alright.
They saw Gorilla soldiers every here and there.
Jungle Lad: Alright Bro., you deal with the Gorilla Soldiers, I'll take out the Devices.
They had split up so I'll just go for Chris's Point of View. The devises were easy to destroy; they weren't activated yet. Chris was able to pull some of them apart with his special vines. The rest were difficult though, Chris however, turned into a large Ape and smashed the Devolvers into pieces. It was pretty easy then. A few soldiers showed up and restrained him. That was bad, Chris turned back into himself and went into plant mode. He was surprised when he made the branches from the nearby trees reach down and grab the Soldiers and knock them out.
Jungle Lad: [Whoa, (looks down to his hands) I really need to practice whenever I get the time. (looks to his left) There's the last Devolver.]
Chris was about to take out the last one when all of a sudden... it activated.
The effect was instant, Chris felt something inside him that felt... dangerous. He looked down to his hands. And was shocked they had become apelike. He then felt a really strong sensation in his head. Then he heard a voice that was odd, menacing, and truly primitive in his head saying the same thing, over and over again, "Obey Grodd... Obey Grodd... Obey Grodd... Obe-"
SMASH!
Chris looked up and saw a giant ice shard where the Devolver once was. Then he looked behind the frozen structure and found Martin, or rather, Frost Falcon, smiling at him.
Frost Falcon: you okay bro.? Your hands look...
Jungle Lad: It's alright Frost. (Turns his hands back to normal with his powers) See? (CALL.) (I will use the phrase CALL whenever they get an incoming transmission on one of their Cpods.)
Oracle: You guys okay?
Jungle Lad: Yeah, I almost got devolved though. And there was this weird voice inside my head, I think Grodd was trying to control me.
Oracle: My guess would be would be that it was; Grodd's usual trick is mind control you know, so I'm pretty sure that's part of those Devolvers. Grodd turns people into apes, then controls there minds. And he considers us uncivilized? (scoff) Villains...
Frost: I know Right? (they deal with people like Zach almost every time.)
Oracle: Anyway, head over to the nearby street. This isn't over yet.
They managed to get to the area near the boardwalk and they saw a bunch of devolution devices in the area. Along with several devolved citizens rampaging.
Jungle Lad: Alright this is getting crazy. (CALL)
Superman: Good work, guys. I spoke with your friend Jimmy Z. He is sending you a special Re-evolution device via the Tortuga Teleporter. (There was an orb of light in front of them that quickly vanished and what looked like an iPod took its place. Martin naturally caught it and handed it to Chris.) It will only work for a little while, but until that device loses power you can free people from Grodd's devolution effects and help those citizens. But first things first. Get that tech off the streets. (End CALL)
The two bros decided to get a birds eye view. Martin flew up to the sky with Chris behind him; he used his powers to sprout wings from his back. He looked like a Thanigarian with those wings (you know, a Thanigarian. Like Hawkman and Hawkgirl are?) they saw that the devolution devices were at one place and the Devolving citizens were at another.
Jungle Lad: We'll split up again. Frost you deal with those Devolvers, I'll re-evolve those people.
Frost: Alright bro. (POV Martin)
Martin Immediately went to the Devolvers. It took some work (considering he wasn't as tech-savvy as his brother), but Martin was able to rewire one of them to work in reverse. The effect was instant: one by one the apes around him were quickly turning him back into human beings. He then went to the other Devolvers. One by one they were rewired to re-evolve and restore the humanity of these poor citizens.
Everyone was happy to be human again! The all began to flee the scene except for two people.
Young Man: Thank you. My son and I could feel out humanity slipping away.
Little Boy: Mister, who are you?
?: Hey bro! (Chris showed up, back from re-evolving those poor citizens where he went.)
Jungle Lad: (noticing the father and son) Frost, who are these guys?
Frost: Yeah... uh, it looks like we already have fan's.
Jungle Lad: You too? I just got kissed by some teenage girl. Don't tell (whispers the name) Aviva I said that okay, Frost Falcon? (This Story will mention events that have happened in the fanfics written by SilverWaterBombadil)
Frost: Alright, Jungle Lad.
Little Boy: Jungle Lad and Frost Falcon?
Young Man: Well whatever you're called, thank you. (he and his son leave the scene. CALL from Oracle)
Jungle Lad: Hey Oracle.
Oracle: (Worried voice) Get ready, I have bad news. Kid Flash is out of contact. He and the Flash have always beaten Grodd before. Grodd is Definitely out for revenge. (Call end. That did not induce happy thought into the Kratt bro's heads. CALL form Superman)
Superman: I assumed Oracle told you about Kid Flash, right? (The two nodded) We're not going to let Grodd win this one; if you two can find and save Wally in Grodd's base, the three of you can take Grodd down. I had your friend Aviva track down Kid Flash's signal (a hardlight map of Little Bohemia appeared there was a yellow dot on a street that was just around the corner) to this location. Good Luck. (Call end)
The two were then standing in front of Grodd's base; it looked like a normal building.
Frost: Ready Bro?
Jungle Lad: Ready. Engage "Operation: Simian Sucker Punch!" (The two went inside)
The placed looked like a normal library. Martin and Chris were looking around the two rooms that make up the place for a sign, a secret door or something that would lead them to Wally.
They eventually found one near the back. It led to an eerie looking hall that would normally appear in sci-fi movies.
Chris/Martin: [… … … this is spooky.]
The two proceeded throughout the lab. There were no guards though. In fact, there was no one else in the area (which was weird) until they entered an actual room. There were around eight men in cages that were made out of what seemed like pure energy. There was no one around but in the center of the tech-room there was a giant Devolution Device. The two superheroes immediately suspected that this was the Master Control Devolver. Then an intercom played in that room. A recording.
Recording: Commencing Prisoner Devolution process.
Then it happened, the Devolver emitted an energy beam that hit the caged prisoners. They began to change. Their muscle began to expand uncontrollably, fur began to grow from their skin. Their faces were being filled with a more rough-look kind of quality to them. They began to burst from their clothing. When the process was completed the brothers were face to face with eight large human-like gorillas all looking at them. One of them spoke.
Gorilla: Please you have to stop Grodd. He is going to do this to all of us! The machine only tuns us into apes. It doesn't control our minds like the other devices. Hit that lever over there. (points to a lever on the Mega-Devolver) it should turns back to normal.
Chris pulled the lever downward and suddenly the whole room was filled with a golden light. When the light cleared the cages broke and the eight apes were turned back into humans.
Former Gorilla: Thank you, now we can get out of here. (as he and his friends were running out of the building) When you find Grodd, go kick his ass!
Frost: Oh don't worry! We will! (They were gone) Let's keep moving Bro.
Jungle Lad: Alright then.
The two proceeded throughout the base now more empty than ever. They kept going until they found a doorway. The two went through. Guess where they ended up.
In Grodd's primary control room.
There were computers and monitors on the wall opposite the doorway they used. A large tough-looking Gorilla with a purple cape was using those computers. The two bros realized that that ape was Gorilla Grodd.
?: (A whisper) PSST! Guys!
The Two turned to their right. Kid flash was trapped in another pure energy cage.
Kid Flash: Boy am I glad to see you uh... (clearly does not recognizes them)
Jungle Lad: Wally (He and Martin take off their masks for a sec) It's us!
Kid Flash: (NOW he knows) Chris? Martin? Whoa... nice costumes... Now Quick! Smash that controller over there before Grodd sees you. It'll deactivate this cage.
The controller was next to the cage. Frost Falcon walked over to the controller (which was a small terminal) an, with a single punch caused severe damage to it. The cage that held Wally Suddenly vanished.
Wally: (A little too loud) YES! I'm out!
?: Not for long, hairless runt.
The three heroes turned around and saw him. Gorilla Grodd was looking right at them.
Grodd: So you are the two heroes who threaten to stop my plans for the world?
Martin: Uh... maybe?
Grodd: Hmph. Pathetic human.
Chris: (he suddenly began to talk a little bit like the Batman) Grodd, (Frost and Kid were surprised by the change in his tone) stop this insanity right now. I'm not gonna ask again.
Grodd: Ignorant scum. Tremble before the might of Grodd! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRR RR!
Grodd began to charge at Chris at a good speed and was about to break his face, but Martin knocked the big ape with a football tackle before he got the chance. Wally then circled around Grodd using his amazing Speed Force Powers, landing hits here and there. This did not help hold back Grodd's temper. Kid was even using that to his advantage.
Kid Flash: (After sticking out his tongue. In a baby-ish tone) Who's a big angry gorilla? Grodd is! Yes he is!
Grodd: (Clearly ticked of) I will smash... your bones... TO DUST!
Chris then attacked him with a large horde of vines but then Grodd had emitted a mental energy attack that repelled each vine that tried to hit him. Chris kept hitting him with vine after vine but the mental barrier stayed up.
Chris: [Okay, I cannot keep this up]
Grodd: Fool. You cannot stop me! I am the true evolutionary path for the world. HUMANITY WILL FALL!
Kid: Really?
Grodd looked behind him and saw Martin and Wally. The three heroes anticipated this: Chris distracted Grodd while Wally and Martin pulled out a large chunk of their powers to use. Wally was transparent, and it looked like his body was made up of bight, orange lines; he was in perfect sinc with the Speed Force. Martin was bigger, his build certainly made him look so. His skin was bright blue and looked like ice, and there was an aura surrounding him that looked like it was made out of pure cold. Chris assumed that Martin just went into Ice Brute mode. Frost aimed his open hands at Grodd.
Frost: Gotcha.
Frost immediately emitted an EXREMELY powerful icy wave from his hands, while Kid Flash circled around Grodd at a nearly unrecognizable speed. The two created a cyclone of pure subzero air. When the cyclone cleared up Grodd was encased in a block of ice. Kid Flash and Grodd seemed to be slightly drained; they returned to their normal forms.
Jungle Lad: (Relieved) Whew, I didn't think that trick would really work.
Kid Flash: I did! And I was right! (there was a n awkward pause) Anyway... you guys did a great- (The three then heard cracking sound and turned around. The ice was cracking up) uh-oh. (the ice cracked further)
Frost: … crap.
Grodd had broken free of his ice prison! The three heroes were knocked down and tried to stand up but then a barrier came up separating the heroes from Grodd.
Grodd: (running for the teleporter on that room) You may have defeated me, but I will return, humanity WILL fall before Grodd! (the teleporter activates and he is gone)
The barrier deactivates leaving the room, and possibly the whole base empty except for the three boys.
Wally: Great... he escapes before I can arrest him... again. Why is this becoming a thing with him? (to his new friends) I'm going to run over to Gorilla City and check in with King Solavar.
Jungle Lad: (suddenly shocked) Wait a sec. That place is real?
Kid: Uh, yeah. It was all over the news. Anyway (Uses Super Speed to fiddle with the teleporter interface then steps into the teleporter) I'll see you back at the safehouse! (is teleported out of there. CALL from Oracle)
Oracle: Nice work you two. Don't worry about Grodd; he won't be any trouble for a while. There is a surprise waiting for you back at the safehouse. Kid knows what it is and will meet you there. Trust me; he's gonna get there first. (End Call. CALL from Superman)
Superman: (The Kratts are now flying to the safehouse. Chris was riding on Martin's back) S.T.A.R. Labs has confiscated Grodd's tech, which should put a stop to his plans for world domination. At least for today... (pauses then continues) I want to thank you for your courage under fire. You've done great work today... And I know Kid Flash wants to thank you personally with a little surprise I've set up for you. He's at the local safehouse, with thanks. (End Call.)
The two got back to the safehouse. It was late afternoon. The whole place was empty except for the officers that guard the jail cells. The all of the lights were turned off in the main area. The bro's couldn't see a thing.
Jungle Lad: Where is everyone?
?: Chris, Martin?
The two turned around. It was M'gann.
Frost: Miss Martian! It's only you.
M'gann: well not only me. (She went and turned on the lights)
All: SURPRISE!
There was a large banner in the middle of the room that said "Congratulations!" and another one underneath that said in both green and blue letters, "To our newest heroes: Jungle Lad and Frost Falcon". Kid Flash was in the middle of the room with Kitty and the Wild Kratts Tech Crew (Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z) as well as a group of people the Kratts have only seen on the news: The Young Justice Team.
There they were. The entire team: Nightwing, Superboy, Miss Martian, Kid Flash, Artemis, Zatanna, Rocket, Red Arrow (The Roy Harper clone decided to return to the team), Robin (Tim Drake), Blue Beetle, Lagoon Boy, Wonder Girl, Beast Boy, Batgirl (Cassandra Cain), Bumblebee, and Impulse were in the same room with the Kratts. Chris and Martin were pretty stunned at the sight of so many heroes in the same room.
Jungle Lad/Frost: Whoa...
Kid Flash: Quite a surprise right?
Aviva: Guys!
Jungle Lad: Aviva!
Jimmy: Man are you guys a sight for sore eyes!
Superboy: Uhh... (Superboy had walked up to Martin and was looking at him with curiosity.) everyone been taking about a guy who looked like me being one of the new heroes, could you?
Slowly, Martin removes his mask, revealing his now altered face. There were looks of expressions of shock, especially from the tech crew. This confirmed it; if it wasn't for Martin's blond hair and cyan-blue eyes (different from Connor's Deep blue eyes that he got from Superman), the two could easily be confused for twins.
Martin: Whoa.
Superboy: Freaky...
Kid Flash: (to Nightwing) I told ya'! Pay up.
Nightwing: (calmly) No way dude. There was no bet.
Kid Flash: Really? I forgot. Heh.
Beast Boy: (To M'gann) This is kinda weird sis.
M'gann: I know.
Beast Boy: Is that even possible?
M'gann: Well, its true that the Exobytes can alter ones appearance if need be.
Impulse: HEY! (Everyone turned to the young speedster) We're here to have a party, right? (Cheerfully) Then LET'S PARTY!
In a few minutes everyone was having fun; a few of the people were having a dance contest, Beast Boy was winning of course. Martin was in a corner, having an intense make-out session with Kitty (I know right?). Roy, or rather Rory Harper, was in another corner, smiling at all of the people having fun as he was telling Nightwing about the time he found out that he and Jade, a.k.a. Cheshire, were parents.
Rory/Red Arrow: You couldn't imagine the look of shock on my face when I saw my actual daughter.
Nightwing: Actually (Smiling with that cocky grin he was known to use back in his Robin days) I think I can. (Rory began to feel embarrassed as Nightwing began to whisper him his thought of Rory's own facial expression at the time.)
Zatanna was entertaining Aviva, Koki, Blue Beetle and Impulse by doing a magic trick involving sawing Jimmy Z in half.
Jimmy: (worried voice) Are you sure this wont hurt me at all?
Zatanna: Don't worry, I've done this trick many times before. I learned it from the best.
Chris was talking to the Team's original leader, Aqualad.
Aqualad: That was quite an impressive day of heroics newcomer.
Chris: heheh. Thanks. That really means a lot coming from a hero like you.
Aqualad: Just remember, Brainiac will be looking for you from now on.
Chris: Don't worry, Martin and I will be fine. (at that moment all of the lights went out) What the- ?!
Everyone heard footsteps, which was odd because no one was moving. Judging by the sound there were three people moving. They kept walking until they stopped. Then, the lights came beck on, revealing three very specific people: Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman.
Chris and Martin just stood there in absolute shock. The three leaders of the JLA were standing right in front of them!
Superman: Hey everyone.
Chris/Martin: …
Batman: (In his usual monotone voice) You two aren't going to faint right?
Chris: uhh... n-no sir!
Martin: (To Superman, since they were already familiar with him) Superman, What's going on?
Superman: The three of us saw how you two dealt with Grodd. We also noticed that you have shown more skill as a team than most of the new heroes at your level would.
Batman: We were impressed, although I was a little concerned that you were sent unauthorized, even under the given circumstances (he sent a batglare over to M'gann and La'gaan, who immediately gave away guilty expressions). We were happy that you were able to save Kid Flash.
Wonder Woman: So, to prove our gratitude, we have decided to grant you the opportunity of working directly with the league as an official Team of your own.
Chris and Martin were just shocked; the League wanted to make them a Pre-League Team?! There was only one time that ever happened, and that was when Nightwing (as Robin), Superboy, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Miss Martian were put together to form the Young Justice Team.
Chris: Whoa... r-r-realy?
Superman: But of course, It's the least we could do. There's just one catch though.
Martin: What's that?
Wonder Woman: Each Team working with the League must consist of at least three members, no less than that.
Batman: Fortunately, we already have someone who will be a part of the team.
Chris: Really?
Martin: Who?
?: So does that mean I can come out now, Bats?
One of the doors opened and a boy came out. He looked about 14. He had a Pallor-African Medium skintone, but at the same time he bore Caucasian features. His eyes were black and has this mixed look of heroism and mischief on them. The weird part about him was his hair. It was black but it had a white, star-shaped streak on it.
Batman: This is Zak Saturday, he has been fighting alongside me and Robin as Warlock. His powers come from source that I'm sure he will want to tell you about himself during his free time.
Chris: This kid is Warlock?
Martin: (smiling) he doesn't seem so tough up close.
Zak: (He had this cocky grin on his face) gniliec eht morf pu mih gnirts!
The next thing Martin knew, he was strung up from the ceiling, tied to a rope.
Martin: What the- ?!
Zak: (begins to laugh) I got 'ya didn't I?
Chris: whoa...
Zak: My powers and where they come from are... complicated, but basically I can control Cryptids, special creatures hidden throughout the Earth... and with the Exobytes, I have powers from both Circe and, obviously, Zatanna.
Chris: Whoa cool.
Martin: Yeah, but can you get me down.
Zak: Alright. ylefas nwod mih tel!
And the Martin was standing next to them.
Zak: so Chris, Martin... It's a new beginning huh?
Chris: Yeah... by the way... how did you become the Bat's newest partner?
Batman: Zak, or rather Warlock, was able to save Batwoman from the Scarecrow on his first mission. After that I just took him in as my partner; his mother works alongside the Justice League, so it was fairly easy to let him into our line of "work."
Chris and Martin each gave a smirk; they were given permission to know about the Secret Scientists, and therefore, the Secret Saturdays Family.
Chris: So... now what.
Batman: For now everyone here lock up; you'll all need the rest.
Wonder Woman: No one knows what tomorrow will bring.
Chris: Alright then.
Zak: I'll just clean the place up. revoekam emertxe!
In a large puff of smoke the entire place was cleaned up, as if the party never happened.
Zatanna: … (smiling) Showoff.
Batman: Alright, the Young Justice Team needs to come with me, we need to speak about the Brainiac ships.
Nightwing: Alright. (the Team followed the three heroes back to the area with the Zeta portal.) (To The three new heroes) 'Night. (he leaves with them closing the door behind him.)
Chris: So... (To Zak) your our new teammate.
Aviva: Guys (the Kratt Bros. turn to her) I need to tweak the Creature Power Suits for some modifications.
Chris and Martin at that moment froze; they didn't have the suits anymore.
Martin: uhh...
Aviva: MK?
Chris: (nervously) Well Aviva we woke up in a prisoner bay at the harvester ship and we weren't wearing them.
Aviva: Yeah?
Martin: and we weren't thinking about them the entire time, just on getting out of the ship alive.
Aviva: go on.
Chris: … (deciding to drop the bomb and get it over with) Brainiac probably took the suits and is probably dismantling them as we speak. (gulp!)
There was a moment of silence in the room... then...
Aviva: WHAT?!
She began to shout something out so loudly that the whole of Little Bohemia could hear her...
Chapter End...
REVIEW! 'Cause this will be the last chapter for a while!
