Dark Sorcerer.
Chapter II.
Thirst for knowledge, especially the forbidden one… never will end well. But as people say… the forbidden fruit tastes better than all.
Naruto Von Doom, about obsession of Lex Luthor.
Sitting in his personal plane, with glass of wine in his right hand, Naruto thought about the future talks with mister Wayne. He looked in the illuminator and thought about his current problems.
His spies reported to him, that on the science symposium, started by Wayne Industries, will be visited by Lex Luthor and he could bet, that this wasn't some sort of coincidence. The bald bastard was waiting for him to get out of his country.
Right now, when Lex decided to try and become the President, he will need the allies. And he alongside Bruce Wayne will be the first in his list.
What really surprised Naruto was the fact that in this world there was no teams of the superheroes, which worked worldwide.
Of course, there were Teen Titans, created by the former protégé of the Dark Knight, Nightwing, where young Zatanna and Raven met and started their rivalry and Sentinels of Magic, currently led by Zatanna followed by Raven and former thief-turned-hero Jinx.
In a way, hero society was very similar to bands. Bat Family looked over Gotham, Superman and his kryptonian relatives looked over Metropolis. Members of each 'fractions' didn't have anything against each other, however, because of their so-called 'leaders' saw each other as a threat (Batman's point of view) and ferocious lyncher (Superman's point of view).
So, the unity between the two will not be seen in nearby future. However, Powergirl alongside Huntress and Supergirl alongside Batgirl worked really good in pairs. That brought some hope in Naruto's heart. To make sure that his kingdom is prospering he needed a stable world.
And without a doubt Alexander Luthor will bring chaos to it if he will not do anything. But what can he do? Those were the thoughts of Naruto as the plane landed inGotham airport and he left it for the comfort of his private limousine.
Once again with a glass of alchohol in hand he thought about possible strategies against Luthor.
First of all, he needed to summarize all that he knew about his opponent. He posed himself as kind and humble man, but inside he was arrogant and rotten. His ego knew no bounds, however he illusion himself, trying to pose as savior of humanity, while making attempts on Superman's life.
He himself believes that he will make Humanity a favor, through ridding it of such a threat as Superman, thus claiming a right to lead them for himself. While he sat in his limo, another one passed his machine, with a familiar bald headed man inside.
Since Luthor will be at the point of destination faster than he will be, Naruto continued to forsee the actions of his opponent. Lex maybe sadistic and arrogant, but he certainly wasn't foolish. Right now he needed to play fair and not dirty his hands.
Recent attack of Darkseid and his role in repelling it has risen his reputation tremendously. Once again as he left the limo, Naruto reminded himself that Lex shouldn't be underestimated.
"Ah! Mister Von Doom! What a coincidence! We even arrived at the nearly same time!" 'coincidence' his ass, Luthor stayed here for several minutes, waiting for him. "Coincidence? Mister Luthor, you passed my limo twenty minutes ago. I hardly believe that you get there just a second ago, since there is only one road, and there were no problems with traffic."
"Sharp as always." Said Lex. "Just the man I need."
"And what kind of man do you actually need? And why should I even try to work with you? Despite your accomplishments in the politics and business, your personal vendetta against the Superman has yet to achieve any kind of positive, at least for you, change." Said Naruto.
Lex narrowed his eyes.
"Be as it may be, but I found the reason why. I need someone with the same mindset as me. Someone, who knows, what responsibility and debt to his people means. Someone… like you."
"And what part of me screams: 'hey I'm insane sadistic bastard!'?" asked Naruto. "Of course I look all dark and gloom in my armor. Bur seriously you will have better success in hiring Batman for your cause, than me." Said Naruto moving past Luthor.
"Not bad idea, actually." Thought Luther. "If the main plan with the presidency fails, I can always use this one. Hmm… Batman versus Superman. Human against a being with powers equal to god. Sharp mind against brute power. Just the thought about it sends shivers down my spine."
Meanwhile, on the balcony for the VIP clients Naruto listened to the speech of Bruce Wayne.
"I thank you for coming her, all these bright minds, who gathered here, for scientific symposium made by Wayne Industries. I hope here you will inspiration for new ideas and sponsors for your projects." With these words he ended his long speech and went to the balcony.
Naruto waited for Bruce slowly sipping wine through his metal mask (In old Fantastic Four, when Dr. Doom talks with Susan Storm, it was showed).
"Mr. Wayne!" greeted said man, Naruto, when he entered the room. "I hope you will hear the reason of my visit, before denying even the possibility of our companies working together over one project."
"Hmm… maybe I will listen." said Bruce.
"Good then let me show you." Said Naruto, moving aside and showing him… a plant.
"Plant? What's so special about it?" asked Wayne.
"Special isn't the plant itself, it's the stuff that we put inside. Now, observe…" Naruto ripped off one of the leaves and under astonished eyes of Bruce Wayne, it regrew in mere seconds.
"What? How?" Bruce made a step to the plant, but hand clad in metal glove, gripped his shoulder firmly and stopped him in his tracks. Naruto nodded in direction of the plant. Under surprised eyes of Bruce Wayne plant glowed with bright orange light and seconds later small explosion happened.
"As you can see… We managed to create the serum, which I called regenerin. Unfortunately, even has failed it primary purpose – regenerate lost limbs. Thus we created the new serum and it did what was needed, however the metabolism was fastened so much that it turns the subject, in our case plant, into the living bomb."
"You speak like you had tested it on people." Said Bruce.
"Part of the reason why I'm here, one of the doctors tested it on himself. Poor man wanted to hug his wife with both hands once again, even if I had offered him the cybernetic replacement. Now the wife id a widow and their son I fatherless… Moreover, I had lost an entire research facility and barealy managed to save all the personnel, aside the said doctor, who worked there."
"You still didn't explain; why do you need Wayne Industries." Said Bruce.
"Because alone, I will reach the so desired result in decades but together with you it will be months, maybe several years. Finally, after all these years the cure for cancer will be made. Our names will be put in history books, Bruce! And it is very needed for someone, who is portrayed by other countries as usurper and tyrant. They do not even care for the fact that it was me, who picked Latveria up, piece by piece!" roared he the final words in anger.
Bruce placed his hand on the metal shoulder pad of Naruto's armor. "As a child of a doctor, I know, how harsh it was for my father to lose his patients. He was an excellent doctor, but even he failed before the cancer. So if you wish to create a cure from it… I'm in."
"Good." Said Naruto shaking the stretched hand. "By the way, I need another favor from you…"
Blackgate prison. Secured cage of a certain red haired villainess.
Ivy looked at the ceiling and small smile crawled up her lips. Her conquest of Harley was progressing rather well, Joker with all his insanity slowly lost positions after she stated to give the blonde woman the injections.
She scowled.
Even with all her efforts, Harley's mind was too destroyed by Joker and too bound to him. Of course… Smile returned to her face. There were another means to comfort and get Harley away from 'Mistah J', which she used with a lot of passion.
Harley after all had a really soft skin and sexy butt, and… Ivy shook her head. She needed to focus on the problems ahead. First of all, she must get out of here.
Suddenly the doors opened and policemen in the suits, which protected them from her pheromones got inside.
"Pamela Isley. You have a visitor."
They convoyed her through the dark corridors of the Blackgate, to heavily secured room, used for meetings. One of the policemen released her of her shackles and left, leaving her alone in the room.
"I hope they weren't too rough on you?" asked the voice from darkness. Pamela turned her head and saw a man in the armor and dark cloak sitting behind the table.
"And you are?" asked Isley.
"Well, you must have heard about me, if you had ever looked the TV in these several days. I'm Naruto Von Doom, sovereign monarch of Latveria."
"Ah! A European Tyrant."
"European Tyrant? Something new, I heard about the Tyrant of Latveria… But then again, nicknames just stick to people." Said Naruto.
"Why are you here anyway?" asked Ivy.
"I'm in need of one certain red haired botanist skills." Answered Naruto.
"And why do you think that I will do this instead of this?" Asked Ivy using her pheromones on Naruto.
"That's very big mistake." Said Naruto.
"I don't think so." Said she. "Now obey me!"
Naruto didn't bulge.
"Obey me!" screamed Ivy releasing the increase of her pheromones. She knew that even with the greatest filters in the armor which he had probably had, there was absolutely no chance that that her pheromones didn't pass through them. She felt them inside him.
However, he didn't follow her commands.
"Obey me!" screamed she, now more out of fear than any other feeling.
Now he moved. He slowly rose to his full height black eyelashes of his mask looked into her eyes and with one word he answered to her.
"No."
When Doom searched for an heir, one of the primary criteria was a characteristic that Doom also had, an Indomitable Will. Once he withstood the might of the mightiest telepath and also the man, whose ability was to bend the will of others to his own, add to boot that this ability was amplified by the invention of Victor… and you will see the odds he was against.
So, from his heir he wanted nothing less than this. Being someone, who will never bend before anyone will that be a god, a demon, or someone else.
Thus when Ivy decided to use her pheromones on him, she lost even before she knew about it.
Naruto forced Ivy into the seat in front of him and returned to his.
"You see now, Ivy? The Will is the only thing that matters. The Will is something that will never leave you, it will always be with you and through sheer willpower you can achieve greatness like no other. You saw what my will can do, you saw what kind powers it gives to me."
"Then why do you need me?" asked Ivy.
"Because you are the someone, who can greatly help my cause and I can change you in return." Said he.
"I will help you, Lord Doom. But I will also need something from you. It's about someone, who need help. And I'm the only one, who cares and can give her one…"
