Hard-Boiled of the League
Previously
"CYCLONE!"
"JOKER!"
"Henshin!" the two said as they pointed their occupied arm out to the side.
"CYCLONE-JOKER!"
Phillip then fell down unconscious as Shotaro changed into Kamen Rider Double
Double saw the battle take place in the sky and pressed some buttons on the Stag Phone making the HardBoilder detached it's green half and the rotating wheel moving till the red hovercraft half was on the bottom. The red half then attached to the black half changing the HardBoilder into the HardTurbuler.
"Watch over my body please." Phillip's voice said as Double's right eye flashed.
"Phillip, I don't think he understands Japanese." Shotaro's voice said as Double's left eye flashed.
"Oh." Phillip said as Double then got on board the HardTurbuler and flew off to join the battle.
The guns on the HardTubuler barked loudly as they shredded through an alien ship. The hovercraft then flew off attacking more ships and dodging their attacks.
As Double flew through the air they noticed the other heroes that showed up.
"Oi Shotaro look..." Phillip said pointing at the heroes.
"I see them. Superman, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl too...this is bigger than we thought." Shotaro said shooting another ship down.
Double then saw Hawkgirl get shot down and crash on a cliff. They were about to go help her when she was rescued by a dark haired woman who deflected a ship's laser attacks back at it blowing it up. The ship was about to crash into them when Green Lantern created a shield and protected them.
"Who's the rookie in the tiara?'' He asked Superman.
"I'm not sure! I don't recognize the guy on the hovercraft either." responded Superman throwing the last ship in a side of a mountain.
Double seeing no other enemy ships landed the HardTubuler next to the RevolGerry, got off it, and stood next to Batman.
"I recognize you now, Kamen Rider ." Batman said in English.
"Oh?" Double replied.
"I've seen newspaper clips of you. Oh and I speak Japanese fluently." Batman said in Japanese.
Double's left hand smacked the left side of his face while the right eye lit up as Phillip chuckled.
"He's got you there Shotaro." Phillip said.
"Shut up Phillip." Shotaro said.
Soon every hero grouped together with Batman and Double, including The Flash who appeared with the missing side of Batman's ship.
"Hey Bats, I think you dropped this…. Whoa…where have you been all my life?" asked the dazed Flash seeing the black haired beauty for the first time.
"Themyscira" answered the woman completely oblivious to Flash's attempts.
"Huh?" answered Flash confused.
"The home of the Amazons, I always that it was merely a legend." Hawkgirl said as she landed.
"I assure you it's as real as the ground we stand on. I am Diana princess of the Amazons." She presented herself with a smile and pride in her voice.
"Pinch Me. I must be dreaming." Flash said just before he was nudged by Superman.
"Themyscira is protected by the gods, but I could no idly stand by while the rest of the world was in danger" said Diana
"It was lucky you showed up when you did" said Superman
"No, not luck I telepathically summoned them" explained J'onn
'Her home sounds Interesting. This gives me something to look up in the Gaia Library when this is all done.' Phillip thought as he didn't realised that Shotaro was talking to him.
"Search later Phillip we have work to do." Shotaro said as Double turned to see the other heroes staring at him.
"Yes?" Double asked.
"We were waiting for you to introduce yourself, the rest of us know each other in some shape or form, but you are new around here." The green alien answered.
Double chuckled and said "I am...No. We are...the 2 in 1 Kamen Rider, Double!"
"I've read about him. He's a hero in Japan. Don't know how he decided to come here though." Batman said
"And you are J'ohn J'onzz who until recently was incarcerated in a military facility not far from here." Phillip said.
"Yes I am but how did you know?" J'ohn asked.
"I caught your telepathic messages and did a look up for you in the Gaia Library." Phillip shocking a couple of the heroes.
"You can access the Gaia Library? I thought it was just rumors." Superman said.
"What's the Gaia Library?" Flash asked.
"A collection of all of the information in the known world. I've heard rumors myself but they were never proven." Batman said.
"It does exist and my partner can access it." Shotaro said.
"Okay now I'm confused, what partner?" Flash said getting frustrated.
"You didn't notice that there were two different voices coming from him?" Batman asked getting annoyed.
"I just thought I needed to clean out my ear." Flash said.
"Can we get back to what's going on here?" Green Lantern asked.
A minute later J'ohn explained his story about his life on Mars before the invaders they were parasites who fed off of their psychic energy, How they stole the martians shape-changing ability and how the once great civilization fell.
He then told about how a small group of Martian survivors planned one final desperate attack, they used a powerful nerve gas that paralyzed them but in the end J'onn was the only survivor. J'onn kept them in a state of suspended animation and watched over them for five hundred years, but while he was in a hibernation cycle some astronauts accidentally revived the invaders.
"Wait, those astronauts never said anything about finding life on Mars" said Flash
"Some pencil pusher in Washington probably decided it should be classified information" said Green Lantern
"Maybe...Maybe not..." Phillip said as he began to think
"With all the Martians gone the invaders had nothing to feed upon, so they turned their sights on Earth" explained J'onn "I narrowly escaped and came here to warn you, but upon my arrival I was captured. While I was being held the invaders sent advanced agents to Earth to disable its defenses"
"That's why they sabotaged the deep space monitoring network" said Batman
"We've gotta stop them before its too late" said Green Lantern
"It may already be too late" said J'onn
The heroes then noticed a bunch of storm clouds suddenly appearing with lightning flashing and thunder cracking.
"What was that?" asked Diana
"Its begun" said J'onn
The heroes could see what was happening even at their distance "What are they doing?" asked Hawkgirl
"The invaders are nocturnal, they want to block out the sun so they can live in perpetual darkness" said J'onn
"Friends of yours?" asked Flash to Batman
"Its no joke" replied Batman
"Can't you just whip up another batch of that nerve gas?" suggested Double
"Unfortunately no. The gas can only be made from a rare Martian plant, I brought a sample with me but when I was captured it was destroyed" explained J'onn
"What's Plan B?" asked Flash
"We'll have to take out those factories" said Diana.
"Lady this is not job for amateurs" said Green Lantern
"We Amazons are warriors born! Want to try me!" barked Diana
"Let's not fight each other" said Superman "John we're gonna need all the help we can get"
"Fine. Sorry, you're highness" said Green Lantern "Tactically we'll have multiple objectives, so we'll need to split into teams"
"Dibs on the amazon." Said the Flash with a smile and a hand over Diana's shoulders making her face Blank
"Flash and Double you're with me" said Green Lantern "Diana you go with Batman and J'onn. Superman and Hawkgirl will form the other team, any questions?" said Green Lantern.
Double quickly typed in a few commands into the Stag Phone and the RevolGerry drove off carrying Phillip's body with it. Double turned to see everyone looking at him. "Just sending it home. Don't want to leave it in the middle of woods after all."
Everyone quickly got into their teams and headed off. Green Lantern led his team to a jungle across the seas, Flash ran across the water at light speed with Green Lantern and Double on the HardTubuler flying alongside with him.
"You are no fun" complained Flash
"This isn't supposed to be fun. We have a job to do and we would do it better without distractions" said Green Lantern
Double just ignored the two as Shotaro noticed Phillip was being awfully quiet.
The three of the arrived in the jungle and found the invaders guarding the drilling machine, they took cover on a cliff above the invaders. "Okay here's the plan we take out the guards and then-"
"Who needs a plan we kick their butts lets get this over with" said Flash and he ran up towards a invader walker.
Flash mocked the walker and was doing a good job until he tripped on some kind of trap and landed in a puddle of sticky goo. The invader was about to kill him when...
"JOKER: MAXIMUM DRIVE!"
Flash looked up to see Double high in the air inside a mini tornado.
"Joker Extreme!" His body split down the middle and both halves came down, the feet crashing into the walker, resulting in a huge explosion destroying the walker.
Double, now with both halves together hovered down to the ground as Green Lantern rescued Flash "I hope the others are having better luck than we are" Green Lantern said.
Shotaro meanwhile was still trying to figure out why Phillip was so quiet.
"Oi Phillip what's going on?" Shotaro asked his partner.
"Something has been confusing me since J'ohn told his story." Phillip said
"You think J'ohn is withholding information about something?" Shotaro asked.
"No actually it's more about the comment Flash made about the astronauts not saying anything about finding aliens. Something just doesn't sit right." Phillip said.
"Worry about that later we have other things to worry about." Shotaro said as Double turned to see a pair of the alien walkers coming towards them.
Green Lantern created a protection bubble around himself as the walkers blasted him. They then fired a gas bomb at Green Lantern and he fell to the ground, unconscious. Flash spun his hands around fast and the gas was blown away.
"Grab him and let's get out of here" said Double as he quickly typed in a command for the HardTubuler to pick him up. Flash did as he said and picked up Green Lantern and ran into the forest, followed by Double on his HardTubuler.
Minutes later after Green Lantern woke up they all got a telepathic message from J'ohn telling them to come to Metropolis.
A little while later the three of them arrived only find J'ohn and Diana on a rooftop.
"What'd you call us back for?" asked Flash
"Superman's been captured, He's trapped somewhere inside there with Hawkgirl." explained Diana
"That's bad." Double said
"And what about Batman?" asked Green Lantern
"He acted heroically…even in the end" said J'onn
"The Bats gone!" exclaimed Flash
"He was a true warrior" said Diana
"This is not good…definitely not good" said Green Lantern
Soon the five heroes were hiding just outside the factory with a walker walking past not noticing them.
"You sure they're still in there J'ohn?" Double asked.
"They're in there but we must act quickly The Imperium is coming." said J'onn
"The who?" asked Flash
"The supreme intelligence that controls the invaders, we have met before" explained J'onn his mind seemed to be in a distant place.
"Can we trust this space case?" whispered Flash
"What choice do we have?" asked Green Lantern
The group then made their way in. Flash distracted the walker while Diana, Green Lantern, J'onn and Double blasted their way into the factory. They went in followed by Flash.
"Where are they being held?" asked Green Lantern
"This way" said J'onn but around the bend they could hear some invaders talking in their strange language so J'onn shifted into a invader form and then attacked them by phasing his hands through their chests.
"Come" instructed J'onn
"Is it just me or does he creep you out to?" asked Flash
"A hard-boiled man like me doesn't get creeped out." Double said
J'onn led them into a room where they saw Superman and Hawkgirl hanging upside down from the roof. They approached them but then they saw that their eyes were red. The exits in the room sealed off and a gas filled the room they all fell on the ground.
"Lantern use your ring" coughed Diana
"Can't focus" said Green Lantern, soon he and all the others had passed out. Superman and Hawkgirl jumped down and they turned into the white aliens.
"Shotaro wake up." Phillip voice said as Double shook the cobwebs out of his head.
"What happened?" Double asked.
"We got captured along with everyone else." Phillip said.
On the cliff above them a white alien approached them and said "Earth's mightiest heroes" and it then shifted into the form of a human in a suit.
"Senator Carter" gasped Superman
"Ah that explains everything." Phillip shouted.
"A little late for that." Shotaro replied.
"Unfortunately the real Carter never returned from Mars" said The fake Carter
"And you used me to weaken Earth's defenses!" exclaimed Superman
"You were so eager to cooperate, thanks to you the humans were totally helpless against us"
"Its not over yet" said Superman
"Wrong again Superman" said The alien and the roof opened up and a ship landed in the room "All hail the Imperium" and then out of the ship came a large purple-black octopus like creature and it floated over to J'onn
"J'onn J'onzz its been a long time" said The Imperium as it pulled J'onn towards it. The aliens then zapped him with electricity and J'onn fell to the ground, everyone else watched helplessly.
"You have defied us for centuries" said The Imperium
"And I will never bow before you or any of your kind!" argued J'onn
"Then I will personally see to it that the last Martian is killed" said the Imperium and its tentacles went into J'onn's skin and started to eat away at him and eventually entered his brain. It took J'ohnn inside of it and started to destroy him
"Let go of him you filthy…"exclaimed Superman as he tried to free himself from his imprisonment
"If only I could just get my hand free I could switch Cyclone for Heat and get us out of here." Phillip said as Double tries to free his right hand.
"Bow to us J'ohn after all these you have finally lost, accept it" said The Imperium
"Have I?" said J'onn
"Wait you're hiding something, a secret hidden deep in the recesses of your mind. Is this a Martian trick?" exclaimed the Imperium
"Do I sense fear?" mocked J'onn
"What are you hiding?" asked The Imperium
"Now" called J'ohnn and an explosion came from above. Everyone looked up and they saw Batman emerged from a hole in the roof.
"Batman!" Double shouted
"It can't be!" said Diana
"I mentally shielded him so he couldn't be detected" explained J'onn
Batman then placed the crystal into the veins of the machine and the red liquid that was passing through it turned blue.
"What have you done!" demanded the fake senator Carter.
"Reversed the ion charge" said Batman
"The crystal, destroy it!" ordered The Imperium and the aliens began firing at the crystal but the blasts simply bounced off. As the blue liquid passed through it was shot out of the top of the machine and it caused the clouds to disappear and the sunlight was visible again. The aliens' skin began bubbling as the sun burnt it and J'onn busted out of The Imperium and dragged him further into the sunlight.
"You live under the ground and shun the light why does it burn your pale putrid skin?" said J'onn and The Imperium cried out in pain as its flesh burnt away.
"That's one nasty sunburn" said Flash
"Ultraviolet rays, coming from the depths of space, the invaders have no resistance to our sun's radiation" said Batman as he flew over to them via Batrope. He used his laser device free Diana of her binds, while Superman used his heat vision to free Double who jumped up to where the aliens were then Superman freed Hawkgirl with his heat vision as well as Flash and Green Lantern.
Double pointed his left hand at the aliens and said "So, count up your crimes!" just before the other heroes showed up and started attacking the invaders.
Superman flew through the surface of the facility and aking wholes that let sunlight to enter and hit the invaders burning them. The rest of the superheroes proceeded to help him and ripped entire sections of the roof letting sunlight enter.
Double meanwhile attacked the aliens with punches and kicks till the aliens figured out his fighting style.
"Shotaro let's switch it up now." Phillip said.
"All right." Shotaro said as Double took out the Cyclone and Joker memories and replaced them with the Heat and Metal memories.
"HEAT-METAL."
Double's right half turned red as his left half turned silver. On his back was the Metal Shaft. He took hold of the staff and pulled it off his back.
Double swung the Metal Shaft several times hitting the aliens and turning them into puddles of goo.
A bunch of the aliens were trying to get away when Double removed the Metal memory from the Double Driver and inserted it into the slot on the Metal Shaft.
"METAL: MAXIMUM DRIVE!"
"Metal Branding!"
Double charged the aliens as both ends of the Metal Shaft came to life in a blaze of fire which looked hot enough to cut through almost anything. He smashed the flaming ends at each alien completely incinerating it.
Several of the aliens shot at him from behind barriers. Thankfully the ones that did hit hit the sliver side.
"Time to switch Phillip." Shotaro said as Double replaced Heat and Metal with...
"LUNA-TRIGGER!"
His red half turned yellow and his silver half turned blue with lighter blue highlights. Attached to his chest was a blue submachine gun with a yellow 'W' stamped on it.
Double fired his his gun at the hiding aliens as they ducked behind their barrier only for the beams to curve around the barrier and blast the aliens.
Double then noticed that the Imperium managed to free itself from the Martian Manhunter's grip and get in his shuttle. The entrance closed and started to fly to the ship but Diana used her lasso to grip the tail of the ship and cease its decent. The shuttle fired a beam from the tail and the princess was forced to deflect it thus releasing its grip. The shuttle started to fly again but Hawkgirl flew above it and powered her mace hitting it at the nose disabling it.
"As the americans say How about one for the road." Double said as he removed the Trigger memory from the driver and inserted it into the gun.
"TRIGGER: MAXIMUM DRIVE!"
Double took aim and declared, "Trigger Full Burst!"
A barrage of yellow and blue laser beams shot out of his gun and rained down on the spaceship.
The shuttle fell and hit the factory exploding and almost falling on Batman had Flash not rescued him. The facility started to fall apart and they were concentrating on releasing the prisoners. Superman used his heat ray to burn the cocoons and he and Flash started to round them up.
Green Lantern appeared and used his ring to make a protective dome around then started to ascend out of the building with the rest of the Superheroes with Superman holding the Flash, Wonder woman carrying Batman, J'ohn carrying Double with Hawkgirl following them, getting out just as the facility exploded.
They watched as light began to shine again on the city and the glimpse of victory finally shined and the nightmare ending. But as they looked on in triumph they saw a ship fly into the sky and out of the planet.
Days later...
Shotaro and Phillip were walking through the halls of this 'Watchtower' floating above the Earth. They still couldn't believe that they were here. Just that morning when they opened up the office there was Batman standing there scaring both Shotaro and Akiko.
As Batman explained to the detectives what he wanted with them, Akiko snuck up behind him to smack with her green slipper only to stop when Batman said "Don't even think about it." making her drop the slipper and hide behind Phillip and Shotaro. Afterwards he took them to a strange looking aircraft called a Javelin and flew high above the Earth to this space station they were now exploring.
Now the two ended up in a kitchen occupied by Flash and Diana. Flash was making drinks for the two of them when he noticed Shotaro and Phillip. "Are you two supposed to be here?" He asked.
"Batman brought us here." Phillip said.
"Oh. Well okay then. Ice Mocha?" Flash asked.
"Just coffee." Shotaro said.
"Any type of vinegar." Phillip said.
"Okay one coffee and...did he say vinegar?" Flash said raising an eyebrow though you couldn't tell.
Phillip nodded and Shotaro shrugged his shoulders.
Flash got Shotaro's coffee and found some vinegar and a glass for Phillip.
"Who are you two anyway?" Diana asked.
"You don't know?" Shotaro said while Phillip smirked behind his glass.
"We're the 2 in 1 Kamen Rider." Shotaro and Phillip said at the same time.
"Wait you two are Double?" Flash asked.
The two nodded and pulled out their Gaia Memories to prove it.
"Well then let's see what Bats wants with us." Flash said
As the four walked towards where Superman and Batman were, they overheard part of their conversation.
"This watchtower will act as an early warning system for detecting other threats from space" explained Batman
"And it has a fully stocked kitchen, Ice Mochas anyone?" asked Flash
"No thanks" said Superman. Diana sipped some of hers and said "Mm they don't have these on Themyscira"
"Stick around princess. I'll show you the ropes." Offered the Flash with a smile.
"Perhaps I will."
"An impressive installation" said Green Lantern as he and Hawkgirl flew down from the upper deck
"but what's it got to do with us?"
Hawkgirl was about to comment on the two detectives but was stopped by Flash saying "They're Double."
"It's true." Batman said.
Then Shotaro, Phillip, Diana, Flash, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern and Batman all looked at Superman
"I once thought I could protect Earth all by myself, but I was wrong we saved the Earth and if we stick together as a team we would be a force that could truly work for the ideals of peace and justice" said Superman
"What like a bunch of Super Friends?" asked Flash
"More like a Justice League" said Superman
"Do you have any idea how corny that sounds?" asked Flash "But maybe the big guy's got a point with all us behind it, it just might work, count me in" said Flash
"Me too" said Green Lantern
"And Me" said Hawkgirl
"My mother may not approve but I find man's world to be intriguing I'll gladly join" said Diana
And she put her hand in the pile of hands that had joined together
Shotaro and phillip talked amongst themselves in Japanese before they finally stop and looked at the others.
"My partner and I have decided that..." Shotaro started
"We're in." Phillip finished as Shotaro placed his left hand on top of Diana's and Phillip placed his right hand on top of Shotaro's.
"What about you Batman?" asked Superman
"I'm not really a people person but if you need help and you will call me" said Batman
"Great then we're all agreed" said Superman
"Wait J'ohnn's not here" said Diana
"Yeah where is he?" asked Flash
"Up there." Phillip said pointing at the command console above them.
Superman just flew to it. They found J'onn sitting in front of the console staring at Mars. "J'onn are you alright?" asked Superman.
"My family and loved ones are long gone. I am the last of my kind." He said with an akin heart.
Superman placed a hand on his shoulder. "I know the feeling."
"Mars is dead, and I am alone in the Universe."
Superman decided to add to him "J'onn, we can never replace your family you lost, but we'd be honored if you learn to call Earth home."
The two of them smiled and flew down to their future teammates that all gathered around them and started to chat.
Next chapter is here. I'm going gonna write chapters that are based on the series. However I do intend to put some Dopants in here as well to show how the Justice deals with them.
Till next time
