Hard-Boiled of the League
On the planet of Ajuris 5, a tribunal was being held to discuss a matter of grave urgency. All throughout the court room, citizens were yelling and arguing with one another. The court official commanded them to be quiet "Order, we will have order!" but the crowd continued to bicker among themselves.
All of a sudden, the large screen in the centre of the court room emitted a bright light, and a voice boomed "Silence!" and on the screen the head of Gamma, one of the judges appeared "This high tribunal has now convened. Never before have so many put aside their differences and come together in pursuit of a single goal." Then the heads of the two other judges, Alpha and Omega, appeared "But never before has there been a crime so heinous, so vast that it had the power to unite us grief and repulsion" said Omega
"We are gathered here today to seek justice" said Alpha, then the prosecutor got onto his stand and pushed a few buttons and he floated towards the large screen "Where is the accused?" asked Gamma
"Unfortunately he's still at large" confessed the prosecutor
"Manhunters, step forward!" ordered Gamma, and then a small group of large robots marched towards the screen "This is no ordinary criminal, finding him and bringing him back will almost certainly involve great risk" said Gamma
"Are you prepared?" asked Omega
"No man escapes the Manhunters" said the lead Manhunter; the other Manhunters started chanting "No man escapes the Manhunters!"
"Show us an image of the accused"
"He's a native of the planet Earth" then a ray of light beamed down from the roof and projected and image of Green Lantern "The Green Lantern, known as John Stewart"
Aboard the watchtower…
Hawkgirl was busily fiddling with some buttons while Flash and Phillip asked her questions about her life on Thanagar, her home planet. Shotaro meanwhile was doing some fine-tuning on the memory gadgets.
"Back on Thanagar you were a cop?" asked Flash
"Detective" replied Hawkgirl
"Oh like Shotaro and myself. What's it like there?" asked Phillip
"The same as anywhere I suppose; there are criminals and we catch them" said Hawkgirl
"And what about when you're not catching criminals, when you're not at work?" asked Flash
"What about it?"
"Well…is there a Hawkboy?" asked Flash. Shotaro rolled his eyes as J'onn entered the room.
Hawkgirl flew off and said "I'll be doing maintenance."
Phillip went to where Shotaro was to help him tune up the gadgets.
Flash zipped up to J'onn and "watched" Hawkgirl as she left. He looked at J'onn who was giving him a questioning look "What? Don't you ever get lonely?" asked Flash
"More than you could ever imagine" said J'onn
"I'm sorry I didn't mean-"just then the warning alarms sounded and everyone in the room had a panicked expression.
J'onn ran over to the windows and said "It's an incursion".
Flash, Shotaro, and Phillip followed him over and they saw three of the Manhunters fly past the watchtower and down towards Earth.
"More like an invasion"
"I'll notify the others" said J'onn.
Hawkgirl came back and said "We'll meet you in the Javelin. Flash lets get going." Flash followed her .
"Let's go partner." Shotaro said as he pulled out the Joker Memory
"Right!" Phillip said pulling out the Cyclone Memory.
"CYCLONE!"
"JOKER!"
"Henshin!"
"CYCLONE-JOKER!"
Soon Double appeared in the hanger with Flash, J'ohn and Hawkgirl.
They all got seated and Hawkgirl started up the Javelin and they flew off.
"Wonder Woman is on another case, Superman is dealing with an earthquake and Batman would only say that he's busy" informed J'onn
"Typical"
"What about GL?" asked Flash
"I couldn't reach him" replied J'onn
In the streets of Manhattan, the three Manhunters marched down a busy road; pushing aside anyone or anything that got in their path. All around them, people were running away; they were terrified of them.
"Stop!" yelled J'onn as he and the others got out of the Javelin "What do you want here?"
"John Stewart, The Green Lantern" replied a Manhunter
"What for?" asked Flash
"That's not your concern"
"Wanna bet" challenged Hawkgirl, the Manhunter attempted to grab her but she ducked and then proceeded to strike him with her mace but her grabbed her wrist and threw her away down the street. Flash raced after her and caught her just before she hit the ground
"Aren't you gonna thank me?"
"Down boy"
J'onn leaped at the Manhunters but as he was about to attack, one of them lifted up their weapon, a lightning pole, and it zapped J'onn and sent him tumbling to the ground.
Double attempted to charge the Manhunters to be swatted away like a bug.
The Manhunters continued to march down the street, but then Hawkgirl flew at them and whacked one with her mace, knocking it over. Hawkgirl was about to hit another one but it countered with its pole and then zapped Hawkgirl with an electric blast and she was knocked through a nearby diner window.
Double picked himself off the ground groaning in pain. "That wasn't such a smart move."
"Then perhaps we should change our tactics." Phillip suggested.
Double nodded before pulling out the Trigger Memory
"TRIGGER!"
Double then switched the Joker Memory for the Trigger Memory
"CYCLONE-TRIGGER!"
Double grabbed the Trigger Magnum and started shooting compressed air bullets at the the Manhunter to no success.
Flash charged one of the Manhunters but it just simply extended its pole in a horizontal position and Flash ran right into it and he went flying into a nearby car.
"HEAT-TRIGGER!"
One Manhunter turned to the sound only to be hit by bullets of intense heat that was started to melt its armor.
"You're a tough one. Let's see how you handle this." Double said as he pulled out the Trigger memory.
Before he could put the blue memory into the gun he was struck in the back with a lightning pole and he fell to the ground, the Manhunter was about to stab him when a voice called out "Back off" and Superman flew at the Manhunter and knocked it into a wall. He was about to destroy it when he was hit with an electric blast, he attempted to charge through the attack but couldn't.
Doubler quickly got up and insert the memory into the gun and pointed it at a Manhunter.
"TRIGGER: MAXIMUM DRIVE!"
"Trigger Explosion!"
A constant stream of fire came from the gun and turned the Manhunter into melted scrap.
Double then ran up to Superman and asked if he was okay.
Superman nodded as Hawkgirl, J'onn and Flash came up to them "We thought you were busy with an earthquake?"
"It was just a 4.0. Mind telling me what's going on here?"
"I wish I kn-" but Flash was cut off as an electric blast electrocuted himself and Superman. It was the third Manhunter and it was standing on a nearby car. J'onn landed directly on top of it and crushed it leaving behind a car in flames. J'onn walked away but as he did, the Manhunter emerged from the flames and picked up the flaming car
"J'onn, behind you!" called out Double.
The Manhunter then threw the car at him, and fortunately Flash ran up to him and grabbed him and pulled him out of harm 's way.
Superman, Double, Hawkgirl, J'onn and Flash faced off against the two remaining Manhunters, they charged up their poles and Superman prepared his heat vision, they both fired but a green wall appeared in front of the attacks and intercepted them "Stop!" called a voice, and out of the smoke emerged Green Lantern.
"Better late than never" said Flash, but John didn't say anything instead he walked over to the Robots
"Maybe now we can get some answers." Double said
"You are the Green Lantern that is John Stewart?" asked a Manhunter
"I am" replied John. He was then asked to hand over his ring to the Manhunter
"John!" called Superman
"What are you doing?" Asked Flash
"Stay out of this" warned John. The Manhunters then ordered him to go with them and they bound him in Energy cuffs and then they disappeared in a beam of yellow light.
"So much for getting answers." Phillip said.
Ajuris 5-
John's ship had finally stopped and landed on a planet that even from space looked very populated. In the Spaceport, John was met but a very large crowd of unhappy aliens that screamed and carried signs with the emblem of the green lantern with a cross cutting it. This was definitely not the best of welcomes but John looked at it and was not the least bit surprised, in fact he slightly welcomed the screams, howls, even spit and humiliation.
When he reached his destination, he was welcomed by his Green Lantern comrades that welcomed him with a scorn, and showed signs of disgust and anger at him.
"Galius, Arcas, Kilawog Good to see you"
He somewhat welcomed and was slightly relieved to meet his comrades, deep inside expecting them to stand up for him for their shared history. Yet their welcome shattered that feeling/need. "I wish I could say the same, Stuart"; "You're a disgrace for the Corp."
He was slightly shocked that they abandoned him so quickly, but he expected it." Get me out of here…" he told to his guards, who proceeded to take him away.
One of the robots hit one of the Green Lanterns, who scorned behind his back, yet the machine still heard. It turned around with its staff ready but an arm on its shoulder stopped it. The arm belonged to the head ManHunter "No, not yet."
John was taken to a platform that held other aliens with a barrier of light in a cylinder shaper surrounding them. He guessed that this was a holding cell.
"What's next?" he asked the manhunter that brought him.
"Your trial will begin soon. If I had been programmed with emotions I'd almost feel sorry for you." The giant turned around and left John who turned himself to look at the shattered remains of a planet in the sky, before closing his eyes his eyes and his face features changed to that of guilt and regret.
-Earth- Watchtower-
J'onn was looking at space yet his eye were not focused on anything, in fact they glowed yellow, this meant that he was using his telepathy.
For the past hour they had been tracking J'onn, looking for him.
Turning around to face his teammates "I sense turmoil, a heavy heart…"
"I could have told you that…" was the fastest man's reply, then returning to his position with both arms crossed.
"I looked it up and apparently there are only 3 moments when a warrior lies down his weapon willingly." Phillip said. He had been standing staring at Earth for a while now, rethinking the events over and over. Now he turned to them and raised a hand.
"When he is close to death", he raised a finger, "when he knows he doesn't have the strength to lift it up" he raised his second finger, "and..."
"When he's lost the will to live." Shotaro said as he was finishing up putting thye memory gadgets back together.
"Exactly! We all know John was in top shape, so that dismisses the first two. The fact that he didn't even look at us tells me that he knows what this whole thing is about. And his tone was full of regret and guilt."
J'onn interrupted their conversation "He's looking at stars."
Superman flew at a keyboard panel and activated a hologram "but what stars?"
J'onn pointed it at a spot and the name 'Ajuris 5' appeared.
"Then maybe it's time to get those answers we wanted." Shotaro said as he put the fully put back together memroy gadgets in his jacket pockets.
-Ajuris 5- space -
Approaching the planet they were discussing the events again uncertain about what had happened.
"Why would he give them his ring?" she asked.
"John's a strange one. That's for sure." Superman said
"I'm beginning to think all you humans are." Was her response.
Superman held a sad look on his face.
"Sorry" she said.
Superman just chuckled nervously. "It's alright, I take it as a compliment."
"Those robots talked like they were law enforcement. Their attitude suggest they're more like bounty hunters." Phillip said as he and Shotaro sat in the back.
Suddenly they were attacked from the front by 3 patrol ships.
"Definately not the welcome we were expecting." Shotaro said.
"They're not responding to our signal!" said the red hero double-checking his panel.
"It's clear what they want, I say we give it to them." She was already preparing the weapons when hear hand was caught by Superman
"We're not here to start a war."He said as he turned around and Hawkgirl and J'onn were already following him. " Flash take the controls."
Flash took the controls with uncertainty.
"You know how to fly right?" Shotaro asked.
"No." Flash replied.
While they were worrying about how to fly, the other heroes took down the ships with Superman and J'onn taking down their power-supply that forced the ships to land. Hawkgirl on the other hand flew the last ships' thrusters sending it crashing down.
Superman however flew and caught the ship, saving the pilots.
But now another problem appeared. Apparently the Javelin activated the autopilot and was flying to the port but the way was so narrow that the ship was skidding on the surrounding building sending sparks everywhere. He knew that if he didn't activate the landing system, the ship would hit the buildings. "Come on, come on!" he finally initiated the landing system. The ship hit the platform yet skidded forward because the thrust was still active, then it finally stopped.
Flash was relieved. "Kind of rough around the edges…"
The two detectives looked at Flash like they wanted to kill him slowly.
They finally turned to leave through the hatch. "They say any landing you walk away from..." When the steam finally dissipated the saw the security team of over a dozen soldiers with weapons aimed at both.
The soldiers all started to fire their rifles at the heroes. The three of them took some cover. "I'll keep these guys busy Flash while you close the hatch."
"On it!" Flash answered and ran back to the control panel.
Shotaro pulled out his camera and shoved a memory into it
"BAT!"
The camera changed into a bat which flew around using it's flash to blind the soldiers as the rest of the Justice League appeared and quickly defeated them.
Shotaro grabbed the bat out of the air and reverted it back into a camera.
Flash came down the ramp saying "I had everything under control honest. OW!"
Flash felt the back of his head as Phillip walked by holding a familiar green slipper which Shotaro recognized.
"Does Akiko know you have that?" He asked.
Phillip shook his head and said "This is her spare."
Meanwhile J'onn used his mental powers to search for Green Lantern. "Green Lantern is close by. That way." He pointed at a huge structure with two towers for support holding a dome-shaped object.
When they finally reached the dome, Superman used his heat vision to melt the hard glass of the dome to make an entrance. He with Shotaro, J'onn with Flash, and Hawkgirl with Phillip flew in.
"Oh no…" Green Lantern didn't take their arrival very well, in fact he looked disappointed.
"What is this? Some kind of trial?" asked Flash seeing all the people.
"Apparently…" answered Superman.
"Remove the intruders! Immediately!" A voice spoke from the center of the dome.
The voice came from a screen that displayed 3 figures that looked like robots. One looked on with a sad, bored expression, the second with a vengeful expression and the last with a monotone expression. All the faces had different yet similar robotic designs.
Two reptilian creatures jumped on floating discs and flew at the heroes, intent on capturing them but Superman grabbed them by the collars, of their clothes, and with his strength threw the guards several meters away. The same robots that they fought on Earth were there as well and they looked ready to jump in and attack.
Superman decided to avoid anymore conflict. He turned to the faces "Wait! We apologise for disrupting these proceedings, but John Stuart is our friend."
The voices thought of his words. "This is a public trial," "Very well, you can take seats in the gallery" "But this tribunal will not tolerate any further outbursts."
"Thank you, your honor."
They stepped on a disk and it flew them at some empty seats and watched the trial.
"Are you ready to call your first witness?" asked the 'judge'.
One of the aliens that looked very skinny with a yellow bald head with no eyebrows, purple eyes with a black instead of white with some strange round devices for ears dressed in a futuristic robes came forward. "I am, my lord. I call Ken'Ja Ro."
As he spoke a human sized figure appeared with pinkish skin with insect-like eyes with a long nose that teeth that looked sharp came forward dressed in a blue and pants and a matching blue with white sleeveless shirt with a helmet on his head that had that had space design.
"Ken'ja Ro, you agree to let us probe and display any and all memories you have?" asked one of the guards.
"I got nothing to hide." He spoke getting on a disk. It flew him straight to the 'prosecutor' who started asking questions.
"State your name and profession."
"Ken'ja Ro, I'm a pirate."
"A criminal? Yet you come here to bare witness to another crime. Why?"
"I may steal things but it's nothing compared to what he did." The pirate pointed at John Stuart.
The prosecutor pushed a few buttons and a light started to glow on the dome and hit the pirate. "Tell us of your encounter with John Stuart."
The pirate told a story about how he 'found' some blasters, how he was flying to Ajuris 4, how he attacked John, how his ship was disabled and how he crashed on a moon. He then told how his friends attacked Lantern in an attempt to save Ken'Ja Ro and finally how John fired his beam at one of the ships, which had deflector energy shields that bounced his beam at Ajuris 4 in a volcanic region causing a devastating chain reaction that caused the planet to explode. "Three billion, that's how many were on that planet."
Everyone looked startled and speechless until they started to whisper. Shotaro and Hawkgirl were both thinking of the scenario and the pirate.
"I have no more questions." Finished the prosecutor.
"This account is most disturbing, we will recess." spoke the judge. The monitor shot off and the aliens left on their break.
The Justice League went to John with Flash speaking. "Now I get it, you wanted to clear your name. That's why you didn't put up a fight back on Earth" glad that he realized what had happened.
"I told you to stay out of this" spoke John urgently.
Hawkgirl looked at the pirate. "That scum is an obvious liar. Give me 5 minutes alone with him and I'll get the truth" she spoke with clenched teeth and narrow eyes.
"Hawkgirl! Flash! All of you! Listen to me! Nobody is lying! Do you see that?" He asked looking at the rubble. "I did it, I'm guilty…"
TO BE CONTINUED…
Next Time: Flash and Phillip play lawyer while the others do some detective work to prove John's innosence. Also more smacks to League members from the Spare Green Slipper of Doom!
Review if you want me to keep to the series have John declared guilty or change it based on the fact Phillip's gonna help Flash.
I know people have been asking when or if Ryu Terui aka Accel will show up. Let me say this. Accel will show up but it might not be till much later though he will be mentioned at times.
Also since this is supposed to take place after the finale of Double which hasn't happened yet both FangJoker and CycloneJokerXtreme will show up early.
