Here we are at Chapter 6 and the final chapter of the story. This will be a long one. I had with this one. Time for the final battle. First, I had to change Kilgore's name in here because every time I write the comic book version of his name, it always shows up as something else, so I apologize for that. That's not what I wanted, but I want his name in there for the story, so it's what I have to do. Second, for the one asking for it, I will NOT be writing a RWBY KEPL version of the Blazblue CTB game because I'm not familiar enough with the other two game series in there besides RWBY and Blazblue and I'm just not interested in writing it. Third, the one asking for a Winter x Yukari lemon story, I'm sorry, but I'm not writing that either. I know that may not be what you want, but ultimately, I decide what stories and what content to write. The only case where that's different is with my Transformers RWBY story with twilightnite13 since we work together on that. I take suggestions, but not all of them. Again, I apologize. Anyway, on to the story. I do not own RWBY or Justice League. They belong to their respective owners. I only own my OCs. Here's chapter 6. Enjoy.
Chapter 6: To be Alive
Ruby slices the head off of an Ursa, followed by twirling her scythe around before slicing through a second. A third comes at her flank, but it gets blasted away by Khazhak's lightning. He charges up his semblance before swinging his sword wide, sending out several lightning bolts at grimm flying over him.
"Everyone alright?!" Khazhak calls out.
"Just good here!" Lloyd yells back before punching a Beowolf away.
A Boarbatusk rolls towards him, but he kicks it away and into another Beowolf.
Vixen runs up and stabs a Sabyr through its chest before flinging it aside, "Finally getting my groove here," she says before a Beringel tries to smash its arms down on her, only for her to catch it with a gorilla's strength as her semblance activates.
Vixen throws it away before picking her blade back up.
"How's everyone else?" Ruby calls out.
"Well, could really use some coffee right now," Flash notes as he runs past Vixen.
For a brief moment, Vixen sees what looks like her necklace on Barry's neck and Jessica's ring on his right hand.
"W-Was... that-," Vixen mutters.
"Running out of steam!" Ren yells as he fires his pistols at a few grimm. One Ursa charges at him, but he flips out of the way. It comes back around and he jumps onto its side, going for a ride. "The Wyvern is constantly producing more grimm,"
Cyborg's droid flies next to him, "Are grimm always like this? This doesn't seem normal... or at least, our level of normal," his voice sounds out from the droid before it flies up to shock several grimm.
"Not usually," Khazhak notes, backhanding a Beowolf away with his left arm.
He jumps into the air, skewering a Nevermore with his blade, then jumps off to cut off the head of a Gryphon before landing back on the ground.
"How's Nora doing?" Ren asks as he fires his pistols again.
Off to the side, Clark slices through a grimm with his heat vision while defending an unconscious Nora.
"Focus on winning this fight for now," Clark says, but then looks up when he hears some noise and spots four motorcycles flying over a cliff, with Yang, Porphyrius, Blake, and Diana as the drivers, and Edom riding with Porphyrius while Weiss rides with Blake.
They all stop near Clark, "Couldn't wait to start the fun without us, huh," Diana smirks, and Clark give her a fist bump.
Ruby slices through a grimm, but then gasps as she looks back, "WEISS!" she jumps on her partner in a big hug, nearly knocking her over.
Weiss pats her head, "I'm fine, Ruby. I won't let some temporal displacement keep me away from my team,"
"Is that what's going on here?" Ruby asks, confused.
Lloyd smashes his steel fist down on a Sabyr and looks over, "About time you guys showed up!"
A grimm comes at his rear, but a shot from Porphyrius takes it out, "Hey, we know you wouldn't survive without us," Porphyrius jokes.
"You always start the fun without us. Typical," Edom teases, twirling his twin-scythe.
Clark watches as Diana creates her lasso, "Did you find Batman?"
Diana smirks, "Let's show these guys what we're made of,"
Diana rides forth while Clark takes to the skies. He knocks away one grimm with his hammer, then blocks a Manticore as it tries to sink its teeth into him. Diana swings her lasso up, catching the leg of a Gryphon just before it could reach Clark. She pulls it onto the ground, while Clark kicks the Manticore away, then flings it onto the downed Gryphon before smashing both of them with his hammer. Just then, a pair of green energy blasts ring out to kill a few grimm before Jessica lands on the ground.
"Lantern!" Clark says.
"We've been looking for you guys!" Jessica says as Jaune and Voshkie'ahk, with Tiamat flying next to her, run by.
"This isn't the real world. It's just one big virtual reality," Voshkie'ahk explains while Jaune heals Nora, shocking the group.
"I knew it!" Cyborg yells.
"So, who's responsible?" Ruby asks.
"I..." they all look up to see Bruce on a cliff above them, sun right behind him. "May know exactly who that is,"
"...Batman?" Clark is surprised by his old friend's new look.
Jaune gets stars in his eyes, "Wow, so cool,"
Bruce flies in and lands near them as Clark lands in front of him, "I'm glad you're all okay,"
"Bruce... You have powers now," Clark notes, in awe.
"Yeah," Bruce flexes his wings. "Got some wings too. As to who's responsible..."
"Maybe you should start talking... Flash," Clark drops a bombshell as they turn to him.
That is another surprise for everyone, "That's... why you don't smell right," Vixen realizes.
"Where's my ring?!" Jessica demands.
They all star accusingly at Flash, making him backpeddle, "Woah, hey now... what are you guys going on about?"
Bruce steps up, "Keeping this world going would take a large amount of energy, even if you added Dust to the equation. Flash, you've been running slow. Getting injured. Because you're so busy running a single equation throughout every computer in this world... Kilgore!"
Flash stands there before smirking and takes off, with Ruby, Weiss, Clark, and Bruce in pursuit.
"That's what's been going on. Every time we feel like we figure out what's going on, more grimm would suddenly show," Clark notes.
"He's the one who made this place," Ruby says as they surround Barry.
Flash turns, only to crash into Clark, "Where is Barry?"
Barry laughs as his eyes light up and bright markings spread over his face and his body glows.
"He's in here. Just fine. Been a nice change to run with you guys than from you. You all think you're so clever," Kilgore laughs, but Bruce notices his right hand twitching with his semblance. "But, you never realized what was wrong with the Scarlet Speedster," Kilgore raises his hand, causing digital spikes to spring up from the ground, forcing everyone back. "It was far too easy to confuse you all and keep you from the truth. You may think that Brainiac or Vandel Savage are real geniuses..." Kilgore says as Vixen and Diana face a large Beringel, Yang and Porphyrius face an Ursa, and Blake and Lloyd face a Manticore, while the grimm slowly surround everyone else. "But, I succeeded where they failed... I trapped the Justice League!"
Khazhak and Edom join them, "And don't forget us. Why bring all of us into this mess when we're not even from your world? What was the point in all of this?" Khazhak demands.
"He's right. This wasn't just your little project, was it Kilgore," Bruce realizes.
"Do you see anyone else with us in here?" Kilgore takes out his staff and runs forth. "I trapped all of you in this digital prison for eternity," he says as Cyborg helps Nora up while Ren gives them cover. "I used the Dust from their world to power this place," Kilgore dodges Weiss' thrusts before swinging at her feet, making her fall back.
Edom jumps over her, twirling his twin-scythe around and trying to slash at Kilgore. Kilgore dodges his swings before zipping behind him and kicking him away. Khazhak swings his blade, sending out an arch of lightning at Kilgore who runs around it. He runs around Khazhak, but Khazhak's eyes glow as he unleashes a lightning explosion to force Kilgore back.
"I did what no one else could," Kilgore says as Ruby spins in the air at his rear.
Kilgore dodges her strike, runs around and grabs her cloak before throwing her away, only for Khazhak to catch her safely. A knife wraps around Kilgore's stomach, who looks just as Edom swings him around and then up into the air where Bruce flies in and kicks him away to the ground.
"Then why are you here then?" Bruce asks, but sees his hand twitching again with his semblance. "That's why you have to keep the equation going on every system," Kilgore charges at him, but Bruce leans right just as he runs by, running right into a left fist from Khazhak. "You're stuck here too!"
"I gave him the idea to use Dust from his world to help create and power this one. This world wouldn't exist without me!" Kilgore yells as a storm of digital rocks appear above him. "But, I wanted no form of compensation for my brilliance,"
The Beringel knocks Vixen away and then forces Diana to the ground, trying to crush her under its hand.
"I just wanted to use this place. The perfect plan," Kilgore says, launching the rocks at everyone. Clark breaks a few with his hammer and heat vision, while Bruce flies around to dodge them. Meanwhile, Lloyd throws Blake over a Beowolf as it swings its claws at her and then smashes his fist into the ground to kill it with steel spikes. "Trap my foes in this place. Turn them into teenagers to put them at their weakest. Filled with hormones and anxieties as I watched this world tear you all to pieces," he creates a large boulder and flings it at Bruce, but Weiss blocks it with a black glyph. Voshkie'ahk throws several fire Dust cards at several grimm while Jaune slices the head off of a Centinel. "And he agreed to work with me as long as I sent his enemies into their world as well," grimm charge at Ren, but Voshkie'ahk blows them away with a wind Dust card. Kilgore sends more rocks at Ruby and Khazhak, with the former flying around them and the latter slicing through them with his sword. "I brought you all here and watched as you heroes struggled with the emotions and insecurities your adult selves ignore or fight against," Vixen taps into her semblance, gaining the strength of a gorilla to grab the Beringel hand on Diana. "You once said that I was a few lights short of an electric grid, but you all stumbled so easily in this world," Jessica flips over a Boarbatusk, blasting away with her semblance, only to get knocked aside by another grimm. "You, especially. A little girl pretending to be a heroic leader. How amusing," Kilgore throws his staff at her.
Ruby narrowly dodges it, but Kilgore is right behind her. Ruby fires her scythe to propel her away to get some distance. However, his words make her hesitate.
"Don't listen to him, Ruby," Khazhak places a hand on her shoulder. "He doesn't know you, not like we do. Not like I do. You're far more than he says you are,"
"Khazhak's right," Clark lands next to him. "Being a good leader doesn't mean being old enough. It's about having a good heart,"
Yang and Porphyrius glance back at each other and nod. Porphyrius fires his rifles while Yang jumps up and smashes her fist down on an Ursa, followed by grabbing a Boarbatusk by its tusks. She throws it away, while Porphyrius throws a gravity punch a a Beowolf coming at her rear. Purple flames erupt from his eye patch as he uses his semblance to make a few grimm float in the air and then smashes them on the ground. Yang jumps up, eyes red and hair on fire, smashing her fist down to release a shockwave that takes them all out.
"You will struggle. You will fail. But that's what makes you alive," Clark says as Kilgore twitches in pain from the grimm getting destroyed.
Jessica trips over a stone and falls, only for Jaune to catch her. They smile as they and Voshkie'ahk stand together.
"You have no way to leave because whoever worked with you... trapped you here," Bruce says.
Jessica uses her semblance to fly right through the grimm as it breaks apart. Ruby notices how with more grimm falling, Kilgore looks to be in pain.
"Khazhak and Clark are right," Ruby looks up, seeing a blue ball of fire hit Kilgore from behind. Weiss flies in on a Manticore summon, flips off as it dissipates, and lands next to them. "I will always fight by your side, Ruby," Weiss says.
"That's what you don't understand, Kilgore," Bruce says, kicking Kilgore from behind as he flies over and lands next to them. "That's why you underestimate humans. We're at our strongest when we're fighting together. Whoever you worked with before; they trick you into being their puppet,"
Vixen rips the hand off of Diana as the Beringel glitches out. Blake dodges a grimm with her semblance, bisecting it in half, while Lloyd fires off his gauntlets at two Sabyrs. Weiss creates two black glyphs, sending Khazhak and Ruby flying at Kilgore. Kilgore blocks Ruby's strike, then Khazhak's. Khazhak smashes his left fist into the ground, sending out a burst of lightning that forces Kilgore back. The pair jump up with their weapons reeled back, but Kilgore sends out two digital pillars to knock them back. Bruce flies in, but Kilgore ducks under him, only for Weiss to land on a glyph behind him and kick him across the face. Clark adds to it with a right cross across his face, sending him rolling back. Kilgore gets back up, but groans and holds his head in pain.
"You're stuck with us. Now, Weiss!" Bruce says. Weiss creates two black glyphs over and under Kilgore, pulling him and Barry apart. "Barry, now!" Bruce yells.
Barry yells as he's able to force Kilgore out of him, leaving Kilgore as nothing but a digital specter of his true form, which looks like a large robot.
"How'd you know Barry was listening to us?" Clark asks.
"I didn't... but then I noticed his hand twitching and my semblance decoded messages from them. It was morse code," Bruce replies.
"Ah, morse code! And people say I'm a boy scout," Clark jokes.
"How are we supposed to get rid of him?" Ruby asks.
"You can't!" Kilgore declares, flying off while laughing before fusing into the head of the Wyvern, taking control of it, and roars.
"He took control of the Wyvern!" Khazhak says.
"Well, didn't see that coming," Bruce notes.
"I will annihilate all of you!" Kilgore yells.
Flash comes up after coming to and notices Vixen's necklace and Jessica's ring in his hands.
"Lantern! Vixen! I'm pretty sure these are yours," Flash runs up beside them to hand them their items, then stop with the rest of the group while taking out his staff. "Looks like I came back just in time for the final battle,"
"Let's move!" Khazhak calls out.
Yang, Blake, Diana, and Porphyrius ride their motorcycles while everyone else charges forth. Vixen jumps onto Diana's bike as they race around a Beringel trying to smash them with its arms. Porphyrius rides in, firing off some gravity shots to keep it grounded. Blake rides in and slices off its head with her katana as she passes by. Yang rides past them, sliding her motorcycle into a Beowolf while firing a shot at another Beringel. She rides past as Lloyd comes in and punches the grimm with a steel fist to the face. He looks back as Diana and Vixen ride by, swinging their swords at any grimm that get too close. To the side, Ren fires his pistols at one Sabyr, then flips over another while swinging his blades. A third comes at him, but a bolt of electricity flies by his head and takes it out. He gives a look at Cyborg, who just smirks. Cyborg punches one grimm away while Ren slices the head off a second, and then the two fire off some shots together. They hear yelling and look to see Nora falling down with her hammer reeled back. She smashes it down on one grimm, then swings it all around at a few grimm that get too close, before swinging wide and sending another far into the sky. Three Gryphons fly down towards Jaune, but a green spear and a few fire Dust cards fly past him and take them out. Jaune looks to see Voshkie'ahk with her cards out, and Jessica wielding green versions of Pyrrha's spear and shield. He nods to the grils before the charge into the fray.
Up in the air, Bruce flies by a Manticore, only for said grimm to get chopped down by Ruby's scythe as she rides behind Weiss on a Queen Lancer summon. Behind them, Edom and Khazhak fly on one of the former's large skull phantoms, swinging their blades at a pair of Nevemores. Bruce comes in, smashing his hammer against a Manticore as they all move towards Kilgore. Bruce uses his semblance and spots several key areas on Kilgore's back. They fly close, with Khazhak, Ruby, and Clark landing on his back while the others fly over them. The three run up his back while taking out any grimm that appear. Kilgore roars, drawing more flying grimm towards him and those on his back. As they reach the top of his back, the trio jump off, with Ruby returning to Weiss, Khazhak returning to Edom, and Clark flying again. Bruce ends up in front of Kilgore's mouth, but Clark smacks his head away with his hammer. Edom flies over them, with Khazhak jumping off. Charging up his left fist, he smashes it against Kilgore's face. Ruby comes behind him and stabs her scythe into one of his eyes. Before they can continue, a Manticore flies in, but Clark crushes it with his hammer. Black feather rain down on them as Nevermores fly by. One flies in and knocks Clark off of Kilgore. As he gets up, he sees Ruby falling towards the ground. Bruce flies in and catches her, but they both still hit the ground as grimm surround them. Clark lands in between them, firing off his heat vision, and then Khazhak lands beside him while swinging his sword to release a buzzsaw of lightning at the grimm as Ruby and Bruce get back up.
"This isn't looking good, guys!" Lloyd shouts.
"We can still win if we can defeat Kilgore while he's in the dragon," Diana says.
"Wyvern," Ren and Cyborg correct her.
"Yeah, well, the last time we took that thing down, it split off into another grimm," Vixen notes.
"Only because Kilgore was with you," Bruce says.
"But, now he IS the Wyvern," Ruby says as they split off.
"Still, with him in complete control of the grimm, we're facing a difficult challenge here," Edom says while slicing his twin-scythe through an Ursa.
"If we can just get close enough, I can deconstruct it with Jaune's help. Rip Kilgore and the Wyvern apart," Jessica says as they see the grimm army before them.
"Maybe I could clear a path-," Flash suggests.
"There's too many of them," Blake shuts down the idea.
Clark lands next to Ruby and Khazhak, "You got a plan, kid?" he smirks.
Ruby slowly smirks back as she remembers the previous fight, "I just might,"
"I like that look in your eye, little rose. Alright then... Voshkie'ahk!" Khazhak calls out.
Voshkie'ahk joins him, "Got it, brother,"
The siblings look ahead, "Bahamut/Tiamat!" they call out their dragon partners.
Bahamut and Tiamat fly out from the trees, their bodies glowing. They fly up and then down into their partners' bodies as their Dragon Spirits activate. Half of Khazhak's face gets covered in blue scales, as do parts of his body. A bladed tail pops out of his rear waist and blue dragon wings sprout out from his back. One side of Voshkie'ahk's hair turns white with light green tips, and one of her eyes turns green. Sparkling white wings sprout out from her back. Their transformations surprise the Justice League.
"Let's do this!" Khazhak says, and they all nod.
The army of grimm charge towards the group. Khazhak, Voshkie'ahk, Edom, Bruce, Clark, and Vixen take to the skies, while everyone else ride on their bikes, and Flash runs beside them. The only people who are missing are Ruby, Jessica, and Jaune. As they close in, Cyborg pats Yang's shoulder, who nods in reply. Cyborg jumps off her motorcycle and waits as the grimm close in. Yang rides in between them, kicking up dust and smoke. Cyborg jumps through the smoke and punches one grimm in the face. His droid comes around and he swings it around at the grimm with his electricity, shocking them all. Yang rides by, kicking away two Sabyrs running on her sides and then riding towards a Goliath.
"Incoming!" Yang cheers before launching the motorcycle at the Goliath, killing it in a fiery explosion.
Yang looks back as Porphyrius and Lloyd race behind her. Lloyd drives while Porphyrius fires off both of his rifles, killing several grimm. Lloyd smirks as a Beowolf runs towards them. Readying his left claws, he drives by while slicing his claws through the Beowolf. The boys look over as Diana rides by them, with Weiss standing on a black glyph on her bike to keep her standing on it. She creates a few more glyphs to fire off ice shards at nearby grimm, or the pair swinging their blades at them. A Manticore lands in front of them, but Weiss and Diana jump off while launching the motorcycle at it, exploding when it hits. Up in the air, Edom throws his twin-scythe as it spins and cuts through a few Nevermores before it returns and he catches it. Khazhak and Voshkie'ahk fly by him. Khazhak spins with his blade, slicing through a Manticore, while Voshkie'ahk cuts through a Nevermore with her card swords. She flies up and folds her wings around her as they glow. A moment later, she spreads them out, releasing a storm of energy missiles that fly in and destroy several flying grimm. The Leviathan fires a breath attack at her, but Khazhak intervenes.
"RAIRYU ROAR!" Khazhak fires his breath attack in kind, canceling the two attacks out.
Riding by the Leviathan's feet, Blake drives as Nora swings her hammer at any grimm near them. Nora sees a Gryphon flying in and hops onto her hammer, pulling the trigger and sending her flying at it. She smashes her hammer down on its skull, but then Blake throws her chain-scythe, wrapping it around Nora's leg. She swings Nora around, who swings her hammer at any approaching grimm. An Ursa goes after them only to get knocked aside by Flash as he races by, with Bruce and Clark right behind him. All the grimm getting taken out seems to cause Kilgore pain, who's too focused on the battle to notice Ruby flying by with her semblance in the forest. Flash runs by, quickly taking out two grimm with his staff. Bruce flies over him to punch one Gryphon aside, only for Clark to finish it off with a swing of his hammer. Flash stops and grins at a pack of grimm running at him. He spins his staff around, creating a twister that sucks them all in. Raising the twister up into the air, Porphyrius jumps off of Lloyd's motorcycle as they race by. He jumps up from under the twister, spinning like a drill with his blades out and slicing through each grimm before coming out on top and then landing back on the ground.
In the air, Clark swings his hammer at a Nevermore and then a Lancer, but a Sphinx comes at his rear. Bruce drops kicks it in the head to knock it away. It tries to go back after them, but Khazhak flies in, grabbing its skull and then ripping it off with his left hand. Voshkie'ahk twirls in the air, evading two Gryphons before releasing the cards of her swords, sending the sharpened cards to slice them into pieces. Kilgore roars in pain as Ruby flies in closer from the side. Edom, Weiss on her Queen Lancer, Diana on a Manticore summon, and Vixen fly by, taking out any flying grimm near them. Edom sends out two more skull phantoms that catch a Gryphon in their teeth before pulling back and ripping it in two. Vixen slices the head off a Gryphon, but nearly gets eaten by the Leviathan. She flies under its legs, switching her eagle power for that of a tiger as she lands on the ground. She swings her blade at a Beowolf, and then Blake rides in to finish it off. As she comes around, she sees the Leviathan's foot coming down on her and jumps off her motorcycle. Blake looks up as Khazhak flies by. He flies over the Leviathan, lightning corsing around his blade.
"Azure Thunder, Explosive Tempest Slash!" Khazhak swings his sword downward, slicing the Leviathan in half as it glitches out.
"You little-!" Kilgore roars as the Leviathan disappears.
"Should be just enough time now," Khazhak smirks.
In the forest, Ruby comes to a stop with Jaune and Jessica, close to Kilgore.
"You can do this, Jessica!" Ruby cheers her on.
"She's right," Jaune places a hand on Jessica's shoulder, activating his semblance.
"As long as my friends believe in me," Jessica's eyes glow and she flies into the air, stopping right in front of Kilgore's face.
"What are you doing?!" Kilgore rages, but Jessica activates her semblance, calling on the full power of her ring. "No! No! NNOOOO!" Kilgore screams as Jessica engulfs the whole area in green light.
When the light fades, Kilgore and the Wyvern are gone, and any remaining grimm glitch out and fade away. Everyone regroup as the battle finally ends. Khazhak and Voshkie'ahk deactivate their Dragon Spirits, with their dragon partners returning to their shoulders. Voshkie'ahk starts to fall, but Lloyd catches her and holds her up, while Ruby catches Khazhak.
Khazhak pats Ruby's shoulder, "Nice job, little rose," they look to Clark, who nods with a smile.
"Yeah, cool, but what happened to Kilgore?" Vixen asks.
"He's gone. I don't feel his code anymore in this world. It feels better now," Cyborg says, checking his droid.
"So, what, he's not dead?" Lloyd asks.
"We'll look for him back home," Flash says.
"I thought Bruce said he was stuck here, too," Weiss notes.
"As it appears... Jessica is stronger than she thought," Voshkie'ahk says as Lloyd keeps her up.
"Thanks, but... what about getting back home?" Jessica asks.
"I think I have an idea for that," Bruce says.
"And then what? Are you coming with us, or staying with them?" Diana asks.
"Bruce," Khazhak gets his attention. "Edom told me about your situation. While Remnant would be lucky to have you here to aid us, I think you know that there's somewhere who needs you a lot more than us. A place you truly belong,"
Bruce thinks a moment then looks to Diana, "I'm a warrior, even back home," he says, making her smile.
…
A while later, everyone is back in the lab at Atlas. Bruce and Edom are typing away on the computers with Weiss standing between them. As they work, Cyborg walks up to Nora and Ren.
"Hey, I just wanted to say... thank you. Both of you. I respect you both," Cyborg says, making them smile.
"And... that takes care of that. Okay, Cyborg. You're turn," Bruce says as he finishes up on his end.
"All good here as well," Edom adds.
Cyborg turns to Ren and Nora, "It's been a blast," and then walks up to one monitor to do his thing, but Khazhak stops him.
"I wanted to say... sorry about before," Khazhak apologizes.
"No, it's fine. I was out of line before. You were just looking out for her," Cyborg glances at Ruby, who's talking with Clark. "You really love her, don't you,"
Khazhak looks back at her, "With all my heart. Have anyone like that back home?"
Cyborg rubs his head, "That's... complicated,"
"Well, I wouldn't give up. I never thought I'd be with someone... and then I met Ruby. You never know what will hold," Khazhak says.
"You're right. Well, it's been an honor," and Cyborg walks away, past Diana, Porphyrius, Yang, and Blake.
"Yeah, same here," Yang notes.
"Me too. You guys were right. It's not easy growing up under fire. I guess I forgot. That's the most important reason for why we fight. Not because of where we come from. It's so others won't have to grow up like we did," Diana says.
"And sometimes it's just fun to kick ass and look good doing it," Porphyrius jokes, earning a nudge from Yang.
They share a group hug. Meanwhile, Cyborg types away on the computer. A moment later, he finishes his work.
Bruce turns to Jessica, "Alright, Jessica. You're up,"
Jessica looks at Voshkie'ahk and Jaune, who give her a thumbs up. Jessica smiles and nods. Turning to the back of the room, a screen of formulas and equations appears before her. She focuses her power, and the formulas split into two doorways. One leading to the Kingdom of Atlas on Remnant, and one leading to the Hall of Justice on Earth.
"There it is," Bruce says.
"Home sweet home," Yang adds.
Jessica grunts, "I can't hold it for too long. Time to go,"
Vixen, with Flash leaning on her shoulder, is the first to move.
Flash looks back at them, "I'm sure it was fun hanging out with you guys. Sorry about the whole 'being possessed by a bad guy who tried to kill you' thing," Flash waves to them.
"Take care, guys. If you're ever on our world, look us up, okay," Vixen says before the pair walk through their door.
Jaune walks up, placing a hand on Jessica's shoulder before entering his door. Voshkie'ahk does the same before following behind him with Tiamat. Diana offers a nod to Yang, Blake, and Porphyrius they all enter their doors. Cyborg walks up to his door, waving to Ren and Nora before they enter their door. Lloyd gives him a fist bump before following behind him. Cyborg is about to enter before his droid flies up behind him. He offers a sad smile before fist bumping it and walking through, leaving the droid behind who beeps sadly.
"You know, you're still a kid. Even if only on the inside," Ruby says.
"Well, Ruby Rose, being a kid ain't so bad after all. Being a good leader isn't about your age, right," Clark replies.
"Right. Thanks for that," Ruby says before they hug.
"And it's been an honor, Khazhak Rairyu. And Bahamut," Clark says, offering a hand.
"It's been interesting, to say the least," Bahamut notes.
"The honor was mine, Superman," Khazhak smirks before shaking his hand.
"You're sure you're good here?" Edom asks Bruce.
"I'm good. Thank you, both of you," Bruce offers a hand, which Edom shakes and then Weiss.
"Likewise," Weiss replies.
Jessica grunts again, "Okay guys, hurry up, please," she pleads as Clark walks through the door.
Ruby and Khazhak walk up to their door. Weiss and Edom offer one last look back at Bruce before walking through their door. Ruby and Khazhak offer one final nod to them before walking through back to Remnant.
…
Back in Atlas, Ruby, who was sitting in a high-tech chair with a visor on her face, suddenly bolts up while taking the visor off and gasping for air.
"Ruby, you alright?" she looks to see Khazhak approaching her.
She looks around, seeing everyone in the room with her, all back in the clothes they received when they came to Atlas.
"Ugh, anyone else have a really crazy dream just now?" Lloyd groans.
"No, it's all coming back now. That... wasn't supposed to be the virtual training mission, was it," Blake says.
"That world... The Justice League... Kilg. I remember it all. That was real," Edom says.
"That wasn't what was supposed to happen in there," Ruby realizes.
"Someone else created that place. Someone... from our world," Khazhak says as they all join him.
And that's the chapter and the story. I had fun writing this story, adding KEPL to the movie, and I liked the movie too. Once part 2 comes out and I've watched it, I'll make a story for that one too. Ruby, Khazhak, and their friends defeat Kilgore and finally return to their respective worlds. However, the question remains: who was Kilgore's partner that helped create that world (I have a good suspect for that since it looks like this was set back in volume 7). Will they ever see the Justice League again? Until then, please Read and Review.
