I don't own Young Justice or Naruto

Home Front

Gotham City; September 22nd; 6:00AM

A blaring alarm rang through the small apartment filling each room with its annoying alerting sounds but, it did its job well as Artemis swung her hand from under the covers and slapped the 'snooze' button on the top of the device. She turned over still covered by her long blonde hair and wrapped in her mounds of blankets trying to absorb its warmth but, failing; she turned over to face the empty twin bed juxtaposed to her own with an 'Alice in the Wonderland' poster hanging above it covered in dust as if it had hung there for years.

She remembered who had hung it and she remembered well.

Jade pulled the duffle out from under her bed and began shoving clothes into it furiously; an eleven-year-old Artemis wearing a pink shirt and denim overalls, "Please, don't go, don't leave me here."

"Sorry, sis," Jade announced without looking back towards her, she looked back pondering for a moment, seeming to be in deep thought until she snapped her fingers, "Toothbrush, knew I forgot something!"

Artemis watch her move towards their bathroom as she grabbed the toothbrush and explained herself, "Mom's not getting outta jail anytime soon and I refuse to live here with just Dad; I'd take you with me but, you'd just slow me down."

Artemis looked to the ground as she pondered her own inner thoughts, "He'll go looking for you… he won't be happy," she spoke ominously.

Jade grabbed the hilt of her baseball cap and swung the duffle over her shoulder, "And so, just like the Cheshire cat, I'll just disappear."

"Artemis!" a voice rang through her memory as she snapped back into reality.

"Artemis, wake up!" Her mother shouted from her chair in the hall, "I don't want you to be late on your first day at your new school!"

Artemis groaned loudly covering her face with her sheets as she dreaded moving a single inch but, life was full of things she didn't want to do.

…

Gotham Academy; 7:15AM

The school was full of life as kids of all ages mingled and spoke to one another but, the blonde archer knew not a single soul and felt alienated the moment she stepped foot on the grounds.

Artemis pulled down on her skirt trying to cover more of her legs but, failing, as her new uniform annoyed her to no end. She continued to pull whilst simultaneously holding her textbooks but, ultimately failed at that too as she spilled her books across the courtyard grounds. She knelt down attempting to pick them up when a hand met her own as they each grabbed the same book, she looked up and was completely surprised, "You've got to be kidding me."

Sasuke stoically rolled his eyes, "Do you want me to help or not?"

"I've got it, thanks," she said grabbing the books herself and holding them to her chest, "What are you doing here?" she asked him obviously as they walked side-by-side in the courtyard.

"I go here too, duh," he stated as he adjusted his tie, "I don't like it either don't worry."

Artemis chuckled, "It's not like I thought I was the only one," she turned to face him looking up into his eyes as their strut stopped quickly, "I just wasn't expecting to see you here."

"Well, here I am," he stoically raised his arms with an annoyed glare, "I'm learning math I don't care about, English I've already mastered, history that's not my own, and physical education that I definitely don't need; what a wonderful place to spend my days."

Artemis tapped her foot as she got closer to his face, "So, why go to a school you're already above of anyways?"

"At first?" he pondered, "To get a lay of the land; this Earth, this language, but," he made eye contact with her this time, "After finding out you would be here too…" their lips lost distance and gained proximity until…

"Hi Artemis!" a preppy blonde Senior announced herself with an excited attitude, "I'm Beth, the student liaison, welcome to Gotham Academy," she looked up to Sasuke and her preppy demeanor faded into a jealous glare, "You already know mister show off here then?"

Artemis took a quick look between the two where obvious tension laid, "Yea, we went to the same school at one point or something," She was quick on her toes to make up a story but, she pushed him back and away from her, "But, I only knew him for a while so I wouldn't call us friends."

Sasuke nearly smirked at this; "Well, if you have any questions just ask me and I'm sure I'll be able to help you out."

"Thanks, I'll… let you know," She smiled as Beth walked off leaving the two to themselves again.

"You know her?"

"She used to be the number one at this school till I showed up; she's just jealous that I'm in the running for valid-Victorian"

Artemis giggled again, "It's 'valedictorian' and you must be popular."

He turned around as the bell rung, "I am and I hate it with a passion," pretending to run a stake through his heart.

Suddenly, a boy with slicked back black hair came running up to them with his phone out and grabbed Artemis by the shoulder snapping a picture with a bright flash, "We'll laugh about this someday," by the time she turned and looked for him, he was gone.

"Who was that?"

Sasuke grinned for the very first time that day, "Just a freshman, I wouldn't worry about him."

…

Gotham City; September 22nd; 6:23PM.

Pain and Artemis approached their disguised Zeta-Tube teleporter dressed fully in costume, Pain held his hand out implying ladies first until a figure dropped from the sky and landed on the teleporter scaring the ever-living piss out of Artemis who backed away and reached for an arrow, "Relax, it's just little ol me," Robin said with his hands up still smiling. Pain gave no reaction at all, simply staring at the two as they argued.

She put the arrow back in her quiver as she stomped her feet, "Don't do that!" she huffed as Robin hopped off of the telephone booth and leaned against it.

"So, I know why Pain is here, I mean, he can be anywhere he wants in a couple minutes but, Artemis; shouldn't you be in Star City?" He coyly smiled and approached her as she cleared her throat, "With your Uncle Green Arrow?"

Pain simply looked back towards Artemis as she rubbed the back of her neck and chuckled, "I'm actually here, uh, visiting my cousin, she was in the state spelling-bee."

Robin folded his arms, "C-O-O-L, did she, W-I-N?"

Artemis furrowed her brow, "N-O."

"D-R-A-G," He spelled proudly as if knowing exactly what the real story was which he in-fact did.

"Yea, let's just go to the cave," she said quickly as Robin bowed and slipped his hands in the same motion as Pain.

"Ladies first," he stated as the archer rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Your town, you go first," she stepped back into Pain whom still didn't respond.

"Whatever floats your boat," he stepped inside as a flash of yellow light engulfed the booth sending him away.

"Why didn't you back me up?" She turned to Pain and asked.

"Because watching you two bicker is entertaining," he stepped towards the teleporter and stepped inside forgetting 'ladies first' entirely and zipping away at light speed.

"Sometimes I wonder why I even date him," she sighed deeply before opening the telephone booth and allowing the yellow energy to disassemble her molecules and reconstitute them somewhere else.

…

Mount Justice; 6:30PM; September 22nd.

She entered the cave to an odd damp sensation and, once she was fully teleported, she noticed steam completely covering the entire common room obstructing her view of the area.

"Get down!" Pain shouted as she backflipped through the fog dodging a pulse of water as Robin flipped into a crouch and launched three shuriken into the smoke hitting something metallic but, having no effect.

She readied an arrow on her bow pulling it back and shouting, "Who are we fighting!?"

Pain leapt in front of her with his arms out-stretched tanking a massive orb of flames to his chest dispersing on him, "Not sure!" he shouted back before preforming a quick hand-sign; forcing himself to hide the pain of being struck by a blast of heat at such oddly high-temperatures.

"Water Style: Raging Waves!" From the bottom of his mask came a massive torrent of water clashing with yet another orb of intense flames dispersing and creating even more steam.

Clanks of metal hitting the ground could be heard as the enemy stepped through the steam clearly unable to see through it themselves, "We're sitting ducks by these entrance tubes!" Robin announced as he launched more shuriken and ducked under a pillar of fire which exploded on contact with the wall behind them.

Artemis launched several arrows into the smog as Pain announced, "Move for the exit!"

They sprinted to the side individually dodging attacks as they did so; Pain looked through the smog but, saw nothing but silhouettes, "There's two of them but, I can't see them properly; somethings not right!" His Mangekyou had no problem seeing through the mix of smoke and steam but, all he could see were the two figures and no details about them, no chakra signatures, nothing.

As they approached the exit, a tsunami of water approached them from down the hall, "Get behind me!" Pain shouted as he quickly formed a sign at lightning speeds, "Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!" A massive wave of fire bottle necked from Pain's mask before expanding into a massive wave colliding with the Tsunami and causing yet another plume of smog to cover the area.

"We're blind, deaf, and dumb right now; we need answers!" Robin shouted looking over his holo-gauntlet.

"Well we have two enemies," Pain announced as he turned and launched an exploding kunai out towards the direction of the tsunami along with explosive arrows from Artemis causing a small explosion but, through that smoke came another pillar of water narrowly missing them, "That's about all!"

They turned and cut through into the gym as the doors closed behind them, Robin began announcing, "Robin to Team; Aqualad?"

Artemis spoke through the mental link reaching out towards her friend psychically, "Hello? M'gaan, can you hear me?"

A tornado of flames approached them as it blasted down the doors to the gym but, the three-kept moving into the showers as the doors slid shut, they began turning on the faucets for each of the shower-heads spewing water into the already steaming room, "Robin to Bat-cave; RG4-HoJ/Watchtower; Robin calling Justice League, can anyone hear me?"

Pain growled and removed his mask taking a deep breath and tossing it aside, "The communications are down."

"Blocked," Robin corrected as he attempted to contact the outside world, "At least the water is helping."

Artemis pulled another arrow back on her bow and aimed it for the locked door; Suddenly, the entire room begun to shake as the pipes behind the walls creaked and cracked, several tiles fell off the walls from the pressure as each shower-head exploded with water pouring down into the sealed room filling it slowly, "Or not," Robin corrected himself as they began to float in the room filling with water.

Pain swam over towards the left-hand wall where his Mangekyou could see a hallway behind, he reeled back and slammed his fist through the wall causing it to completely shatter opening a massive hole in the room releasing all of the water and spilling the three heroes onto the floor. They stood quickly catching their breaths and sprinting towards the kitchen where they stopped looking for any way to avoid the enemy until they could plan a counter attack, "We need to get lost!" Robin exclaimed as Artemis looked around the room quickly pointing out the large vent above the stove.

"The air vents!" she shouted.

Pain slapped his hands together and shouted, "Good, go!" He turned and formed yet another hand-sign, "Earth Style: Mud Wall!" a massive wall of rock sprang up from the ground perfectly covering the hall being 5 feet thick.

Artemis and Robin pulled the grate out and jumped into the vent sprawling through it until they were sitting on horizontal grounds; they heard Pain's wall being destroyed just as Sasuke pulled the grate up and made it seem as though they were never there.

"So, you guys had this idea too, huh?"

Artemis nearly shrieked as she turned to see a sobbing wet Naruto with his Sharingan bleeding and closed, burn marks running down his right arm as well, although; he had a smile still plastered across his face.

"You couldn't beat them either?" Sasuke immediately asked.

"It was an ambush; I think the rest of your team are trapped as hostages," He leaned against the cool metal of the vent, "I only made it out because I was in my room when the attack happened, I gave it my best but, these guys are good."

A pillar of flames came rushing past them upwards from the air vent as the enemy apparently discovered their hiding spot; all-the-while, Robin had been downloading information off of a hardware station installed in the vent, "Make a left!" he shouted as they all turned and began crawling like children through the maze of air conditioning vents, "Now, right!" they all followed as another explosion of flames barely missed him.

"Too close," Sasuke stated as he kept moving at the front of the line, "Naruto! Anata yusō ga hanarete iru koto ga dekimasu!" Sasuke spoke in his native tongue on habit.

"If I do, it'll be the last time! And short distance!" Naruto shouted struggling to form his Mangekyou Sharingan once again blood trickling down his cheek.

"Just do it!" A pillar of flames approached them as Naruto shouted "Kamui!" space and time bent at the activation of the technique; the enemy peered down the vent noticing them all gone and no sign of ashes.

…

Naruto, Sasuke, Artemis, and Robin were all dropped into the library as they all held their heads with mild headaches; "Never doing that, again." Artemis spat.

"Words of the wise; if I try that again, God's blessing or not, I'm done for," Naruto closed his bleeding eye and allowed it to relax for a moments peace.

"There's a secret passage way behind one of these book-cases," Robin announced as Artemis scoffed at the comment.

"Cliché, much?"

Sasuke scoped the area intently with his Mangekyou looking left and right until he spoke, "Left-hand corner, 4th row, sixteenth book from the left," he pointed towards it as they all headed for the corner wall; they reached the corner of the library and reached for the book before hearing a familiar voice calling their names out from out of sight, "Artemis? Pain? Robin? Naruto?" Artemis immediately felt her heart skip a beat in joy as she whirled around facing not who she assumed she'd see, "Red Tornado?" His body structure and android appearance with yellow markings resembled their android but, this was not him.

Robin grabbed her and pulled her back quickly as a torrent of fire hit the shelf in front of them, "Yes on the Red; No on the Tornado!"

Robin pulled the book and opened the secret entrance out of view from the android with a female android of similar design approaching with a long full head of flames as hair dancing down to her hips; Sasuke focused chakra he'd been building quickly through his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan activating his unique technique, both androids fired their elements simultaneously as Sasuke shouted "Amaterasu!" through his focused sight-line he met the attack dead-on with a blast of eternal flames overpowering the fire from the female android and dispersing the water from the Male android into a thick smog of steam and smoke covering his getaway.

Sasuke reached the secret entrance and was forced to deactivate his Amaterasu due to its chakra usage; the androids were released from their stalemate and immediately stepped casually towards the secret entrance finding nothing but, books and toppled shelves.

…

They made it safely into a small room leading into a long corridor but, as they waited and listened, they noticed the secret entrance hadn't opened. They weren't being followed, hopefully they'd lost them.

"What are we gonna do about this?" Artemis asked taking deep breaths from all the running she had been doing.

"The Androids seem familiar but, they're definitely not Red Tornado," Sasuke stated, "My Mangekyou scoped them out in the library and their inner-workings are more advanced than even Tornado's."

Artemis threw her hands up, "Perfect, two Androids more powerful than a Justice League power-house are after us and we can't do anything?"

"I can't; not from in here," Sasuke stated as he adjusted his weights, "how's about we hatch a plan while their searching for us?"

"Attention: Artemis, Pain, Naruto, Robin; you have exactly ten minutes to surrender or the lives of your friends will be extinguished," A voice eerily similar to Red Tornado's spoke through the PA system.

"Ok, now we need to think a bit faster," Robin remarked as Artemis punched his shoulder.

"Don't joke!"

"Let's everybody calm down" Naruto stated, "I've been doing a lot of research since I got here and I've heard of something called an EMP."

Artemis scoffed, "Electro-Magnetic-Pulse generator; yea, how do you think we're gonna pull that off? None of us are smart enough to build one of those!" She threw her hands into the air again turning around to face them.

"We know someone who is though," Robin stated boldly.

They all looked towards him with confused glares, "Wally, even with that big-mouth, is a straight-A student who recreated Flash's science experiment."

Artemis approached Robin with a glare, "News flash: Wally was probably captured by the droids before we got here."

Sasuke opened his eyes drawing all attention to him with his powerful eyes, they all stayed silent and looked towards him, "I'm going to distract them, Robin is with me; the rest of you are to wait for Robins signal to work on this EMP-whatever," Sasuke turned and walked towards the common room where the androids awaited them.

"Eight-minutes and forty-two seconds remaining."

Artemis reached out and grabbed his arm stopping him, "Be careful," she said softly looking directly into his Mangekyou without feeling a bit of tension like most would but, he flashed a caring smile at her.

"I'll be fine," he deadpanned and pulled away walking towards the droids as Robin followed him and the team separated.

"Alright, what's the plan, big man," Robin clapped as they approached the entrance to common room.

"You've got a comminutor shuriken?"

"Well, yea, but…"

"I'm gonna fight them, make sure you get one to Wally's position; first thing you do is dive underwater, I'll keep them distracted and you make sure we can speak to Wally."

"That's it?"

"You've got the easy part," Sasuke stopped at the edge of the hall as the androids noticed them immediately.

"Hey!" Sasuke shouted as Robin narrowly dodged a blast of fire leaping into the water and placing an air-breather into his mouth, "You two want a fair fight? Stop picking on children and deal with an adult."

A torrent of water with enough pressure to obliterate solid steel flew towards Sasuke at speeds inconceivable as the male android only gestured at him; a purple rib-cage formed around him before the blast hit and protected him completely as he smiled behind his defense, "Status; you are no adult, your age is seven-teen."

"Status update!" Sasuke fired a massive wave of fire at the male android blasting him across the mountain and slamming into the rock-walls.

Robin swam through the murky depths of the small lake in the corner of the mountain approaching the trapped teens; as the two androids dealt with Sasuke, Robin popped his head above the water directly in front of Kid Flash and Superboy whom had been trapped by some metallic substance, incapable of moving, "Hiya," he said quickly but, the two hostages said nothing as they observed Sasuke fight and didn't want to blow any ones cover, he pulled the com-shuriken from his belt and slapped it onto the trap right next to Wally's face, "Where are you go-" he was cut off as Robin dipped back under water and swam away back towards the entrance.

Sasuke allowed his Susanoo to evolve into a different appearance than what they had seen in Biaylya; As Sasuke stood on the water, this Susanoo was only half-a-man, in the sense that only half of its body could be seen. It wore a violet cloak made of chakra-energy and sported a hood masking its face with two glowing yellow eyes shadowing it; in one arm, it held a massive purple shield and in the other, a purple blade, "This… This is my Armored Susanoo!" Sasuke shouted as the avatar swung its blade and cleaved directly through the wall of the cave narrowly missing the hydrokinetic android.

His pyrokinetic counterpart fired a wave of heat towards him where his shield came into good-use as it blocked his Susanoo from the blast, however; from behind the water lifted up and formed a massive hand wrapping his fingers around the Susanoo and pulling it down, "Shit!"

The Susanoo quickly sliced through the pillar of flames as the android dropped her flight to avoid the attack and landed on the ground next to a cage made purely of fire containing Aqualad and M'gaan.

From the water, an orb raised containing Robin floating unconscious, "You let them go!"

"They will live if you drop your defense and surrender immediately," Sasuke questioned as he looked at Dick floating in the water, he glanced up at Naruto and Artemis working on the EMP.

"Fine," he said as his entire Susanoo began to disperse, "Just give him air," he pointed to Robin as the water slowly dropped him to the ground near Kaldur and M'gaan; he coughed up water and began breathing again suddenly.

"Where is the location of the ones known as Naruto and Artemis?" The female android asked as she jumped down to the lower level next to the water Sasuke stood on.

"It wouldn't be in your little databases; it's new they just built it," he stated bolding taking a deep breath looking up glancing up at Artemis briefly, "I'll lead you to them…"

The male android spoke up this time, "I shall stay and watch; allow him to locate the others and if your signal disconnects for any reason; all of his friends will die."

…

Naruto spoke through the communication shuriken which Wally was surprised to hear a voice coming from, "We need an EMP and we need it now; is it doable KF?"

Wally smiled as the water reached his neck, "Totally doable!"

"Five minutes," the male android announced.

"Ya know, if we had more time…"

Naruto and Artemis opened a panel as Kid directed them, "Med-lab, x-ray machine, you'll find a small vacuum called a vircator that converts high-energy pulses; reprogram the units microwave conversion from x-rays to EMP's."

All the while Naruto followed his instruction and unlatched the x-ray machine where he found exactly what Wally described; Artemis grabbed the unit knowing full well Naruto couldn't reprogram a calculator much less this machine. She plugged into the device and after two minutes she managed to reprogram its settings and functions, "Two-Minutes twenty-seven seconds," the android spoke over the PA.

Artemis rubbed her chin, "Setting this off will be like dropping a stone in a river; a ripple effect," she noted as she pulled out the device.

Wally chided, "A stone with ten to the twelfth power wattage, yea!"

Naruto sighed, "To get that kinda power we're gonna need to get access to the central-power grid…"

"And where's that?" Artemis asked and the answer she was given was simply the icing on the cake.

…

Sasuke walked with the female android, "So, do you talk at all or just observations."

She stepped behind him without flinching, following his steps, "I can speak freely, yes."

"Good," He said as he focused chakra into his eye, "I just wanted to hear you scream when I do this!" Mid-sentence, Sasuke whirled around at incalculable speeds kicking the android across the hall slamming into the wall.

"Amaterasu!" His flames were sent but the distance was too great; she dodged to the right and sent her distress signal whilst simultaneously sending orbs of flame in Sasuke's direction.

…

The male android quickly noticed Naruto and Artemis working on the power generator but, Naruto could force his Sharingan open even if he wanted to so he resorted to Sage Mode, "Keep working, Sage Art: Massive Rasengan!" Naruto leapt from the platform holding a truck sized orb of destructive chakra in his palm as a thick arm made of water intercepted it and grasped it, another pulse of water came from the right slamming Naruto into the rock-walls and sending him fifty-feet towards the ground.

"Red wire to blue, blue to green," Artemis mumbled to herself for a moment as she rewired the EMP and looked around, "All I need is a conductor, my last arrow!" she reached behind her and grabbed it but, it was far too late.

"Your friend has attacked my comrade and betrayed you all; your lives will now be forfeited," he raised the water levels covering Kid and Superboy completely and grabbed Artemis by the neck with a whip of water; encasing M'gaan and Robin in water where they would soon drown.

"Just… one… shot…" She struggled and aimed her best shot as she pulled the arrow back on her draw string and released the arrow flying through the air at an accurate angle. The arrow nearly missed its mark but, it hit dead-center, exactly as it should have hitting the conductor in its place sent a pulse of energy through the entire cave. Artemis was dropped nearly twenty feet but, she didn't sustain any real damage as she rolled to a halt, she was feeling lucky to be alive at all.

The android using water to float in the air, fell fifty or so feet and clanked lifelessly to the ground as it short-circuited and its eyes turned a shade of grey as if deactivated.

…

Sasuke ducked under a blast of heat until he heard the collapsing of a heavy metal object short circuiting and spasming in the center of the hallway, "Finally…" he mumbled relieved as he leaned against the wall and slid to a sitting position.

…

The cage of fire holding Kaldur and M'gaan dissipated as Naruto physically pulled himself from the ground, "Kaldur, is she…" he asked with concern in his voice, concern more than that of a friend, perhaps.

Kaldur took a long deep breath and checked her pulse before announcing, "She breaths!"

The former jinchuriki rolled over onto his back staring up at the ceiling; "If only I had Kurama with me; I could have taken those guys by myself, no sweat."

Superboy struggled with all of his strength to move but, still couldn't, "Would someone please cut us out!"

…

Mount Justice; 8:32PM; September 23rd.

Artemis wrapped her arms around Sasuke's burnt waist and held him for a moment, "You're honestly so dumb; if her fire could burn both you and Naruto, you never should have led her away by yourself."

Sasuke scoffed and pushed her back, holding her hand tightly, "It's fine, I'll be fine."

Kaldur huffed as he sat on the ground beside Superboy and Kid Flash still trapped in their metal-substance, "Their abilities were far beyond the norm," he finally stated, "Fire hotter than anything I've ever encountered; water with more pressure than anything Atlantis has ever taught me…"

Sasuke released Artemis' hand and turned towards them, "They were more powerful than just elemental wielders; one of them was fast enough to avoid my Amaterasu."

Naruto mumbled from his sitting position, "Too fast and strong for even us; it's like they were expecting an army not a group of children."

They all looked at him with disapproval; angered that he even referred to them as that, he stood up and shouted, "That's what we are! Like it or not! These guys came busting in here as if they were…" Naruto stopped and pondered, "Expecting the Justice League…"

They all slowly turned towards one another, exchanging looks of confusion; "This place was abandoned by them decades ago; why would they expect that?"

Artemis spoke up, "Unless they're 30 years behind on their information?"

Superboy growled, "Would someone PLEASE just cut me out!"

M'gaan scoffed, "I can't," she held a gun of some-kind which would supposedly free the two trapped heroes, "EMP's shut down all machines, remember?" she explained when, suddenly; the cave door opened through force and Sasuke readied himself for the threat but, was met with Batgirl and Red Tornado rushing in towards them.

"Correction," Tornado spoke accurately, "EMP's shut down all machines present at the time; what has occurred?" he floated down as his spiraling wind dispersed in front of them.

Robin spoke up first stepping in front of everyone and motioning to the two lifeless machines in the corner of the room laid next to one another, "We received a little visit from your extended family…"

Artemis scoffed throwing her hands up, "Your very nasty family!"

Red Tornado passed them all stoically and approached the two droids, kneeling down to examine them closer, "I was unaware I had relations," for a single second he pondered their existence as suddenly Robin asked a very good question.

"Where have you been?"

Tornado didn't even turn to look at him, "Monitor duty on the Watchtower; when it became clear that cave communications were no longer functional I attempted to investigate, only to find your Zeta-Tubes to be nonfunctional as well," he turned back to them for a moment before continuing, "I Zeta'd to Providence where I met up with Batgirl and made my way here."

The ray-gun suddenly went off in M'gaan's hands sending a beam through the concrete, "Finally!" Superboy announced before they all realized at once, darting their heads back towards the androids and shouting in unison.

"The EMP wore off!"

Tornado reached out to grab his 'sisters' hand but, felt a spark of electricity flow through his finger. Suddenly he turned with glowing red eyes and formed a tornado with his legs and arms sucking the oxygen from the room.

The first to go unconscious were Kid and Superboy whom had no time to hold their breaths, Batgirl, Artemis, and Robin collapsed quickly enough after grasping at their throats for air. Naruto and Kaldur passed out and flew across the room immediately, the strain from the Mangekyou and recent fire usage was simply too great to stay conscious without oxygen.

Sasuke reached for Tornado, getting close to him with his hand outstretched but, after such a long battle and his wounds; he fell to one knee and soon passed out too.

…

Mount Justice; 11:24PM; September 22nd.

"Sasuke?" he heard his name but, couldn't see a thing, just darkness; it reminded him of the first arrival in this dimension, "Sasuke!"

His eyes snapped open and he shot up right as he looked around and noticed time had definitely passed; Black Canary was above him attempting to wake him whilst Green Arrow, Superman, Batman, and Captain Atom spoke to his individual teammates whom were too waking from their unconsciousness.

"Where are they? The Red's?"

Robin responded from behind without looking towards Sasuke, "Gone. All three of them."

Review! Review, and oh yea, Review!
