I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters within the Arkhamverse. They belong to Square Enix, Disney, DC, and Rocksteady. And we are back with the second chapter, and considering the amount of follows and favs. so far is definitely a good sign is you guys like what you see so far. Hopefully, by the time we reach the end, we can reach as satisfying conclusion to this crossover. Now before we begin, let's reply to some reviews...
VaderSkywalker: Glad you like this so far, and the gameplay does take some getting used too. Especially, if you played the previous Arkham games, but it's actually more fun than one would think. Now, I totally understand, kill our heroes is upsetting but to be fair they did let us know right from the first trailer it's what we'd be doing... I know it doesn't make it better and they way some of the majority of the League is less than the way we would have liked them to go out, but if you think of it as an elseworld story the timeline was based on the Arkham Batman games... than this is something I can play with my brothers-in-law, and we'll enjoy. Besides, there's always next time, Gunn did say this wouldn't be the last of Arkham games so it could get better after the reception of this game. But enough about that game: in this timeline Sora's going to save the League, how he does it, you'll just have to stick around to see.
weavile101: That's the plan for the moment. We'll see what happens this year.
the mysterious Mr.E: Wait no further as the next chapter is here!
ShadowWolfG31: Hey, I get it. Gameplay is not for everyone. Hope you enjoy this story nonetheless. And I can neither confirm nor deny your question about Wonder Woman, you'll just have to stick around a find out.
Valkoor123113: Not planning that much interaction between Sora and the Suicide Squad from their "Earth-1" but we'll see what happens.
Superwheeltires: Maybe... ;) (Glances down to the current chapter)
Darth Mando: First off, love your name! Second, I didn't want to give Sora all of his abilities right from the get go like my Injustice crossover, he'll have to level up and learn new abilities in this fanfic. He'll get to the League's level when it's time to face them. And true, Disney owns Marvel so... the Watcher works too. Plus, I know the Watcher's character more than the Monitor. Plus, who's to say we won't see any other Marvel characters in this?
Guest02957: Fair enough, while I will warn you that there is no guarantee that every character will be saved in this adaptation. Right now, all I can confirm that the Justice League will be saved. Hope you enjoy this fic all the same. As for your questions, who's to say won't get some new powers from all of this. ;) That's all I'll say for now...
Alright, with that out of the way let's dive into the chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Here We Go Again
"This place is AWESOME!" Sora beamed as he checked out all the advanced technology. It had not been a few minutes since unintentionally hitting the button introducing him to Superman. He didn't know much about the Justice League but they must have been true heroes like Hercules if people made giant statues of them. He didn't know what to check out first!
He then noticed the hologram of the warrior woman from the statues, kneeling on the ground with a sword in one hand and shield in another, "Guess this makes you Wonder Woman... since you're the only woman in the League I've seen so far." Noticing the button by here like Superman, he smiled, "Let's see what you are about."
He ran over and pushed the button, as Wonder Woman looked up at him and smiled, "I am Wonder Woman but you may call me by my real name: Diana!"
"Diana, huh?" Sora thought aloud before smiling, "I suppose names like Superman and Wonder Woman would be a little strange for real names."
"I was born on Themyscira, the secret island home to the Amazons," She continued as she stood up as she put away her weapons, "As a child, I grew up believing I would remain on Themyscira with my Amazonian sisters. That is, until I learned a BIG secret."
"What secret is that?" The Keyblade Wielder wondered out loud.
"Would you like to hear it?" She asked. Even though, he knew she wasn't truly there, he eagerly nodded as she answered, "I learned that I was the daughter of Zeus, ruler of the gods!"
"Zeus?!" Sora blinked in disbelief before slowly recalling, "Wait..."
"I hope I'm wrong, but my family may need me."
"Family?"
"Yeah. Dad's king of the gods."
"SHE'S HERCULES'S SISTER?!" Sora's jaw dropped in disbelief, "HERCULES HAS A SISTER?!"
While he believed in only one God, he never knew Hercules had a sister. In fact, he thought all of Herc's family was on Olympus. Did that mean this was Olympus Coliseum?! No, it couldn't be. That world was nowhere near close to the technology he's seen here. He quickly made a mental note to ask Herc if he knew about Diana next time they meet.
The hologram of Wonder Woman continued, "From my father's side of the family, I was given strength to wield my impenetrable gauntlets..." She then held out her arms in an defensive position to show off said gauntlets, "...my sword, my shield..." The hologram had changed to her holding her sword and shield, "...and most importantly..." It had changed again to her holding a rope that looked like it was made from light as some sort of bad guy was wrapped up in it, "...my magic lasso which compels ANYONE to tell the truth."
"Wow. That's a lot of stuff," Sora nodded, "A magic rope that makes people tell the truth, huh?" He continued help but think, "I wonder what Jiminy would think of that."
The hologram changed to her being alone again kneeling down as she smiled at Sora, "How could I remain on Themyscira with all of these gifts? When I learned your world was still at war, that the strong hurt the weak, I knew it was my duty to help."
"Oh, I can see the relation to Herc now," Sora nodded. Other than her strength, she also had what it took to be a true hero. Something he inspires to be. Now, he just have to convince Phil that he had what it takes too. Wait, she mentioned their world? Was she from another world too? It could explain a lot.
Pulling out her sword, she stood back up, "Despite my mother's concerns, I decided I should join humanity. I would come as a warrior for peace. A protector." She then admitted, "I miss my home. But I've made new friends, like the Justice League." Just then, holograms of Superman and the other members of the League appeared beside her, "There's nothing we wouldn't do for each other. And alongside them, nothing can stop us from making a better world."
As the hologram of Wonder Woman switched back to the kneeling stance, the recording started with, and the rest of the League gone. Sora slowly nodded, "Okay, she seems pretty cool too. I wonder what the rest of the Justice League is like." He looked around the room and saw the man with the glowing green ring, "I'll try him next!"
Running on over to the button by the hologram, Sora pressed as the recording began, "Far, far away from here, there is a planet called, "Oa,' home to the GUARDIANS."
"Does the World Order not exist here because they're not exactly trying to keep it a secret..." Sora wondered aloud as the recording continued.
"The Guardians are really old. Tiny, blue, and super smart," The hero described before lightly joking, "MAYBE smarter than Batman." Kneeling down to Sora, he closed his hand with his ring making a fist, "The Guardians created these rings." Just then, a much larger of his ring appeared in the hologram, "They're powerful. Even a little dangerous. But if a ring chooses you, you can make ANYTHING you can imagine."
Sora's eyes widened in shock. The way he said it, it sounded like this powerful ring and the Keyblade had something in common. Still, the power to make ANYTHING... that was a pretty cool power. The hero continued, "Green Lanterns like me are peacekeepers. The Guardians picked us from all over the universe."
"All over the...?!" Sora's jaw dropped, "How come I never heard of you until know?! You guys could have helped out in the Keyblade War!"
He knew Green Lantern couldn't answer but... it would been nice if some of these other Green Lanterns could've helped whenever Xehanort or Maleficent threatened the worlds. The superhero continued, "Well, I come from here on Earth. I used to be a Marine, but in the Green Lantern Corps, I'm more of an intergalactic policeman." The hologram changed to the former Marine aiming his ring and his construction of giant guns at bad guy who dropped his weapon and surrendered, "A Green Lantern uses the ring to help as many people they can AND stop the bad guys when they have to."
Sora smirked, "Man, they sound real tough. I wouldn't want to be in the bad guys position..."
Just the hologram changed back to Lantern alone as he raised his ring,as Superman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the League joined his side, "I'm the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 and I'm proud to defend the planet alongside my friends in the Justice League."
As Green Lantern's hologram appeared alone once again, Sora nodded, "Cool! Guess the ring he uses is like the Keyblade in a way!" He then crossed his arms, "But if there were a lot more of you all over the universe... why didn't you guys show up to help us stop Master Xehanort?" He then shrugged it off, "Ah, I'm sure you have a plausible explanation for all of this. I got a feeling we'll be seeing each other very soon!"
He then looked to the statues of the League, "Let's see... so far I've learned about Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern. Two to go." He then looked around, "Now, where to find them?"
He saw another holographic image of Wonder Woman, but he figured he could check that out later. He wanted to learn about the last two members of the League: Flash and Batman. He then noticed some stairs he passed, "Good place to check. I'll start with the left stair case."
Quickly running up the steps, he saw another holographic image of Green Lantern. There sure were quite a few recordings to check out, not that he minded. In fact, he was loving the place more and more every minute, he turned the other way and finally saw the guy with the lightning bolt on his chest, "There ya are! Time to learn a bit about you!"
Pushing the button, the recorded hero smiled as he waved to Sora, "Oh, hey! Didn't see you there. Look, I know I'm called the 'fastest man alive' and sure, it's true." He then thought aloud, "Though Superman MIGHT disagree."
"Fastest man alive, huh?" Sora crossed his arms. That was quite a claim. He knew that he shared his own races against Riku. He wondered how they hold up against this guy.
The man in scarlet armor smirked humorously, "He'd also tell you that I didn't outrun the LIGHTNING BOLT that hit my lab."
As the recording fastest man alive laughed out loud, Sora could think of the dozes of times he had to doge lightning. Magic and normal. Maybe it would be a closer race than he thought...
...that is until man with the lightning bolt on his chest revealed, "But that was BEFORE I could draw energy from a interdimensional power source called the Speed Force."
"Speed Force?" The spiky hair teenager blinked in confusion, "What's that?"
As if he was expecting Sora to ask that question, he explained, "It's like the universe's largest supercharged battery and it never runs out. That's my secret." Sora slowly nodded, thinking he was beginning to understand what this hero was saying, "With the Speed Force, I can do a LOT more than just running really fast..."
With that the hero ran to on end of the lab with in a blink of Sora's eyes, completely startled before he ran to another end of the room and the back to him. All thoughts of him or Riku beating this guy in a race immediately died down. He'd finish the race before either one of them could take the first step... even if they did use flow motion.
The superhero then explained to Soraof the many things he could do, "I can wipe up a cyclone!" He then did so in the recording much to Sora's amazement, "I can vibrate my body's molecules so fast I DISAPPEAR!" He then showed off in the recording, as Sora's jaw hit the floor before the hero reappeared to him as the recording chuckled, "It's also real good for getting out of tight spots!"
"Wow, I never thought there was more you could do with speed other than moving really fast," Sora muttered to himself.
"And kids: let me tell you getting chased by lightning when I run is pretty cool."
It definitely sounded cool! Especially, knowing you'll always be able to outrun the lightning! Just then, the other members of the League appeared beside the Scarlet Speedster, "But the Justice League isn't only what I can do - and it's not really what the others can do, either." The hero then gestured to Sora, "It's all about YOU." He then knelt to Sora, "You can be a superhero, everyday, by doing the right thing. It's YOU who inspire US to be great." He then stood up as he nodded, "So thank you."
As the hologram of the others vanished only the interactive hero remained, "Wow, these guys must have a lot of fans to inspire them to be heroes. Because of the whole World Order, I've had to keep my heroics on a need to know basis. Even on Olympus Coliseum." He then crossed his arms, "I wonder if I could convince Herc's dad to use one of his lightning bolts to..." He ultimately shook his head, "Nah! I'll stick with the Keyblade and there's no way of really knowing if I would get super speed from the bolt anyways."
He then turned back to the hologram, "If I had to guess, since yours no probably introduced yourself, you must be Flash. Guess, the only one I haven't interacted with is this Batman I've heard so much about." He then looked to his left and saw on the opposite stair case, had a hologram of said hero, "That must be him! All of these guys have been cool so far! I wonder what's he's all about!"
He then ran back the way he came, down the steps before going up the opposite staircase passing a glass window of a bunch of stuff inside. He then saw the button for recording of Batman, eager to hear his story, he pushed the button. Unlike the others though, he didn't smile, "I was born Bruce Wayne, citizen of Gotham. At too young of age, I lost my parents to the city's greatest enemy: CRIME."
"Oh... that... stinks..." Sora felt bad for the guy. It wasn't quite the same as losing your world but from what Superman explained, it sounded like he was only a baby when it happened. This guy, while he was probably young, was old enough to remember his parents.
"From that day forward, I swore I would dedicate my life to defeating those who would prey on the heart and the spirit of Gotham," Batman stated as his eyes narrowed, "So I became a symbol. Something even evil would fear. I became vengeance. I became the night. I became BATMAN."
Sora didn't know why but those last three sentences sounded so epic. And that's not even mentioning becoming something that even evil would fear. He wondered if this guy could scare those like Maleficent or Oogie Boogie. The Dark Knight continued, "Of course, I would have to rely on more than just my wits. I'd have to work hard. Train every day to fight against crime. I'd have to design high-tech tools, equipment..." Just then a holographic image of some sort of jet appeared beside him, "...and the most advanced vehicles you've ever seen."
"Wow!" It definitely looked cool. While the design was cooler than any GummiShip he flew, he didn't think he had the capability to travel to other worlds... he wondered if he could convince Chip and Dale to design something like it, but more colorful.
"Before, I had allies," Batman admitted as the jet vanished, "...but I thought I had to push them away to protect them."
"Oh, yeah, this guy definitely reminds me of Riku," Sora lightly chuckled, "Did that whole thing with me back when we first confronted the Organization."
"Now as part of the Justice League," Batman concluded as Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern came to his side, "I'm grateful to my companions because together, we are stronger than we are alone."
"All for one and one for all," Sora smiled at the found memory of him meeting Donald and Goofy for the first time as the other members of the League. Ever since then, they were three half-pints that made a pint and a half. He felt there wasn't anything they couldn't accomplish. He was glad Bruce or Batman was able to learn that as well.
That was all of the Justice League: and in conclusion... They were totally awesome! He definitely needed some pictures of them and check out every single interactive thing he could touch.
And he did, apparently Superman's S wasn't an S back on his world, Wonder Woman's armor was made from the strongest metals, Flash showed him of some of the stuff they gathered over the years and some stuff about his suit, Green Lantern did the same with his ring and talked about how they prepared to take on the bad guys not only using their powers and skills but using tech with help from Batman's company. Batman explained how his cowl worked along with some of his other tools. Oh, and having this for a club wasn't cool enough, there was also one watch over world: the Watchtower!
Every bit of it was so cool and he got plenty of photos to show his friends. He took selfies which each hologram member of the League doing silly posses such as pretending to squeeze Batman's head for one. He even did one where he pretended to be lifting up the statues with one hand. He had just needed to be in the right position to get it.
There was only place he had yet to check out, the big massive doors. He wanted to know where that lead. There didn't like there was anyway he knew how to open it that he knew of. The Keyblade could unlock it no problem but he didn't wish to make a bad impression on some potential new friends still...
"What are behind those doors?" Sora wondered aloud before noticing another hologram of Diana standing near the door, "Oh, yeah, I haven't checked out this one yet." He smiled, "Maybe she has answers."
Walking over to Wonder Woman, he activated the recording, "Though those doors lies the inner Sanctum of the Justice League." Sora's eyes widened in awe as she smiled, "Sounds very grand, doesn't it? And it is. The inner Sanctum is where we all agreed to join the League. And since that day, it's become the nerve center of the League where we planned for battle against forces to great for any one of us to face alone."
"Come on! Grand tour! Grand tour!" Sora cheered happily.
"Sorry, we can't allow visitors to the Sanctum." The hologram of Diana apologized.
"Aw, man!" Sora frowned as he lowered his head in disappointment.
"But if you dedicate your life to good, to being a champion for peace and protecting others no matter what," Wonder Woman's recording smiledas Sora lifted up his head, "...you can join the Justice League - and join us inside."
Sora blinked as the recording ended before looking up to the statues. He smiled as he tried to flex like Hercules would. Those requirements were easy enough. Heck, it's what he's been doing ever since getting the Keyblade... all he had to do was talk to them and maybe...
"No, I promised my friends that I'd be back before they know it," Sora remembered his promise. Pulling out his phone, he started to dial up Kairi, "I'll call them and let them know I'm okay."
He was expecting to wait for it ring a little. Unfortunately, all he got was an annoying beep, "What?!" Hanging up the phone, he tried dialing Kairi's number again, "Okay, let's try that again."
He was only met with the same results. Blinking, he muttered to himself, "That's odd." He then snapped his fingers, "I'll try Riku!"
He typed the number to get that annoying beep again. Okay, he knew he dialed it correctly.
"King Mickey?"
Same thing.
"Ienzo?
Nothing. Groaning in frustration, "Ugh, this things busted!" He stated, "I'd call to ask Chip and Dale to ask what's wrong with it but I doubt it'll reach them either!" He slumped down, "How am I supposed to get back if I can't contact my friends? The GummiShip is likely light years away from this world."
Suddenly, his eyes widened in realization, as he looked around the Hall of Justice, "Oh! That's right! They know about the worlds and Superman and maybe Wonder Woman are from other worlds. Even Green Lantern admitted that his power came from another world!" He then gestured to the statues, "I just need to find the real Justice League and they can help me find my way home! Easy!"
He then crossed his arms, "Although, if they were here, I surely would have ran into someone by now..." He then looked to the exit, "Guess I'll just need to get outside to look for them."
He then ran to what would have been the exit but it was blocked off by shutters, "Okay, not that way. Even if I'm able open them up, I don't want to let just anyone who's not supposed to be in here. Is there any way out?"
He looked around and saw to open pathways far above him, "That could work. Just need to reach them. Somehow..."
He then looked back to the weapons and gear the Justice League gathered over the years, and recalled see on of Batman's grappling hooks. Summoning his Keyblade, he turned to the key chain on it before looking up, "I wonder..."
Pulling his Keyblade back, he thrust the end forward which extended the key chain, which hooked on the upper pathway and pulled him straight up. He chuckled to himself, "The highlights of starting back from the ground up, is that I always manage to learn new tricks!"
He then followed the path, higher in the massive superhero HQ before finally discovering some doors, "That'll work. Just exit through here, lockup when I leave, find the League, befriend them, ask them to help me get back to my other friends, and I'm home free." He then smirked to himself, "And if they happen to notice I have what it takes to be a part of their team and asks me to join them, so be it."
He then pushed the doors open, "This should be a walk in the parrrrrrrr-" His eyes widened in horror as he saw the current state of the world, "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED HERE?!"
The city looked like it was in state of being toppled over, and there was a giant skull ship flying above the city. In the distance, he could hear gunfire and screams throughout the city. He sighed to himself, "You know... I should never assume the next journey is easier than the last because every time I do something like this happens." As the doors closed behind him, he pulled out Kairi's lucky charm, "Guess I'm not going to be home as soon as I would like too... just wait for me a little longer..."
He knew, even at a weaker state, he couldn't leave this world in the state its in. He couldn't live with himself if he abandoned an innocent world to forces of darkness. Putting away the charm, his eyes narrowed, "Okay, let's find out what happened here."
Running off the roof of the Hall of Justice, he used the Keyblade's grapple keychain to give the boost he needed to reach the ground. Just as he reached the ground, dark shadows rose from the ground with a three circles on their heads all connected with each other merge in a purple like substance. While the design of them was new. He knew these creatures anywhere, "Heartless!"
He quickly went into his battle stance, as the Heartless surrounded him. He prepared to fight them when something he heard threw him off, "Surround the human! Don't allow him to escape!"
"Huh?!" Sora blinked in disbelief. Did that Heartless just speak?! The only Heartless he knew that could do that was Xehanort's! And these ones looked nowhere near Ansem's level!
"For the glory of New Colu!" Another exclaimed as one pounced at him. Sora snapped out his shock to avoid their first attack before countering with a strike destroying it.
He then proceeded to engage the other Heartless. Cutting each one of them down, as the Watcher witnessed these events, "When Brainiac's invasion breached the Final World, it also had unintended consequences. As it also gave an opening from the Realm of Darkness to this world, three weeks prior."
Sora dodged roll as the Heartless continued their assault on the Keyblade Wielder, the Watcher turned to the Skull Ship, "As Brainiac, corrupted the members of the League he had, the Heartless came to this Earth. Which took the Coluan interest deeply. Studying them, he found that no weapon on this world could destroy the creatures of darkness so he augmented his army combing the DNA of Colu to the Heartless, as well as their unfortunate victims. As a result, there was very little resistance the military could do against these enhanced intelligence monsters from the darkness with the League either MIA or under Brainiac's control."
Sora cut down three more when he noticed something diving in behind him, "And the Heartless weren't the only things Brianiac experimented on..."
Sora's eyes widened in disbelief, "Nobodies are here too?!"
While no longer white, the now purple husks with the same symbol on their foreheads turned to Sora, "Meta human detected. Potential threat is high. New orders... bring to Brainiac."
...and the Husks were talking too? And who is Brainiac? Shaking it off, he aimed his Keyblade at them, "Hope I still got this power! Fire!"
A small burst of fire came from his Keyblade as the Nobodies did their best to avoid it. Thankfully, it still followed their path and destroyed one of them. Now fighting the enhanced Heartless and Nobodies, Sora did what he did best and continued to strike them down.
"Thankfully, they still had the same weakness to the Keyblade."
Sora sliced a few more as proceed shooting out more fire magic. As usual, he felt getting a little stronger after every monster he slain. As he destroyed the remaining Nobody, he turned his attention to the remaining Heartless.
"Unfortunately for him, the Heartless and Nobodies would not be the only major threat this worldwithin Brainiac's forces."
With one final slash, he destroyed the remaining Heartless. Before he could even get a chance to breathe a green construct clasped around Sora's arms forcing him to drop the Kingdom Key as it vanished, "Hey! What gives?!" As he struggled to get free, his restrains pulled him in the front outdoor center of the Hall of Justice. Just then, green beam of light came down from the sky, and landed a staircase, the newcomer created. Sora's eyes widened as he recognized him from the statues and holograms, "Green Lantern!"
As the Green Lantern walked down his created stairs to get a closer look at Sora, he beamed, "This is great! I'm Sora! Big fan by the way! Listen, we need to get the rest of Justice League, your world is in terrible dan-" He then blinked in concern, "Wait... your eyes... are you okay?"
The Lantern's eyes were purple, like the same color as the talking Heartless and Nobodies bodies were. Instead of answering his question, he raised his ring pulling Sora closer to him. The former Marine chuckled, "Well... what do you know... I was ordered to come here to see who managed to breach into our universe and it turns out... a meta that can actually harm Brainiac's new and improved army. What are the chances..."
"Meta?" Sora blinked in confusion.
"A person with powers. They call you something different in your universe," The Green Lantern explained. The more former marine talked the more Sora noticed something was off with his voice. It was almost as if...
"Xemnas and Xehanort formed the Organization for a specific reason... round up a bunch of empty husks, hook them up to Kingdom Hearts, then fill them all with the exact same heart and mind. Translation... they were gonna turn all the members into Xehanort." He recalled an old memory from Xigbar, "Me? I'm already am half Xehanort."
Sora's eyes widened in horror. He was possessed. Someone possessed Green Lantern! Like when Ansem controlled Riku. And Xehanort controlled most of the true Organization's actions. The possessed Green Lantern smirked, "Aw, you know what? I'm in the middle of recon for Brainiac." As he lightly flew off from his step, he told Sora, "Let's walk and talk."
As Green Lantern flew off, Sora was pulled in to follow him, "WHOA!"
The Justice Leaguer took the Keyblade Wielder to another end of the city as he watched as they saw flames going off everywhere, and Heartless and Nobody ships patrolled the skies. Sora looked in horror while the superhero smiled, "Look at that. Insurgents can't touch us. Brainiac says it gets-"
"I don't know who this Brainiac is," Sora cut off the Lantern, "But I know when someone is being controlled! Is he the one who's making you do this?! What does he even want?!"
The Green Lantern turned to the teenager as his grin remained, "Control? Nah, if anything, he opened my eyes. Brainiac's the one final bringin' order to this world. Making it a home for his people." He gestured to the planet they were on, "All of this... soon it'll be a new Planet Colu. That's been my mission for, what, three weeks now? That, and securing loose metahumans. Even if they're from another universe."
He kept mentioning 'another universe.' What does that even mean? He thought there was only one universe. Green Lantern continued, "But lookin' at you, I don't see the potential. Then again, you were more successful holding your own against Brainiac's new creations."
"You mean the Nobodies and the Heartless?" Sora's eyes narrowed.
"Nobodies and Heartless? Is that what you call them?" The Lantern tilted his head, "Fitting names. But let's get back to main subject. You actually might have some more surprises that I don't see. Either way, we'll put you to good use. C'mon."
With that, he flew off with Sora as his captive to another section of the city, where several humans were surrounded by Enhanced Heartless and Nobodies. In desperation, he tried to warn the superhero, "Green Lantern! You need to listen... the monsters Brainiac is using... they're dangerous... as long as they continue roam free-"
"Sssh," The former marine gestured to the hostages, as Enhanced Husk placed down a container before freeing a purple creature with tentacles as one Heartless slowly followed it, "I want you to see this. Pay attention, boy."
"Let me go home! Please!" One of the human's eyes widened in horror as he tried to get away, "Help me! Get them off of- ARGH!"
Unfortunately, both the Heartless and creature were able to get the man as they latched on to him. Sora's eyes widened horror as the man lost his heart as the alien and Heartless consumed the unfortunate victim transforming him into an Enhanced Heartless as Enhanced Nobody was created with it. Lantern turned to Sora, "Even without the... Heartless... it looks bad. Feels worse. But once you've been 'enhanced...' There is no going back..."
He then turned to the horrified Sora, "And with these Heartless, them and the Nobodies make them all but unstoppable... well, almost. Seems like your power is their vulnerability. Brainiac will want to look into that."
Sora glared at the Green Lantern, he knew he wasn't control of his actions, he was angry at this Brainiac guy pulling his strings. The possessed hero flew himself and Sora further into the city where the Enhanced Heartless and Nobodies marched and searched. It didn't take a genius to know what they were doing, Sora grunted, "They're search for survivors. Increasing Brainiac's army!"
"That's right. You're smarter than you look," The Green Lantern nodded, "We shipped out eight million already!"
Suddenly, they could the sound of laser fire come as some survivors were being shot down by Sniper Nobodies. The remaining survivor, noticed the member of the Justice League and ran to them in a desperate attempt to call for help, "Green Lantern! Help!"
However, Lantern did nothing as the man was shot down as well. Shaking his head in amusement, "These resisters just don't respect martial law." Sora knew he had to get free from Lantern's restraints, or this world would be lost to Brainiac and the darkness. Soon, the landed on a roof of a building, Lantern turned to face the teen, who was forced to be on his knees, "Time to rally up with Brainiac. Ready to make the leap?"
Knowing the answer was rhetorical, Sora attempted to reach out to the hero, "Listen to me, Brainiac is controlling you somehow! If there's a part of you in there than know this... No one can control the Heartless! Soon or later, they'll turn on you, consume your heart, and along with the rest of world!"
"You've got spunk, kid," He chuckled, "And you clearly know more about Brainiac's army than any in this universe." The Lantern smirked, "Brainiac's control is too strong... they'll do whatever he says like it or not. But don't worry, you'll have a chance to voice your complaints to him before he see what makes you tick!"
Suddenly, something came in fast and struck Lantern, making him stagger. Sora's eyes widened in recognition. It was the Flash and he was still in the light! Flash and Lantern paced around one another, as the latter smirked, "Flash! Brainiac wondered how you got off the ship-"
"Speedster secret," The fastest man alive countered as he walked in front of Sora, "The League doesn't leave anyone behind. Let's make you right, buddy."
As Flash prepared to charge, Green Lantern constructed two massive guns and aimed them at his former friend, "You know, I was about to say the same thing."
Before he could fire, the Scarlet Speedster ran straight at him, taking the fight far away from Sora. So far, the restraints that once held the teenager vanished making him fall on all fours. He quickly recovered though as he summoned his Keyblade to his side and ran to the edge of the roof.
This wasn't exactly how he wanted to meet his new heroes. If Green Lantern was under Brainiac's control, who knew who else in the Justice League was. Well, he knew at least one person who wasn't, the Flash. He had saved him. If he was going to figure out how to save this world, he needed to get Flash before something happened to him too.
For all he knew, Flash and Lantern could be fight miles away from this building. Almost impossible for anyone else to find them until one was still standing. Still, he had one advantage those people didn't have, placing his hand over his heart, he whispered, "May my heart be my guiding key."
With that, his eyes narrowed with determination, as he leaped off the roof, to help Flash free Lantern from this Brainiac's control. He just hoped he could reach the former before it was too late...
And that will conclude today's chapter. Well, at least Sora had some fun before diving into the action as now he's tasked to save this world. In a desperate attempt to save the Flash, Sora must confront another corrupt member of the League. Can Sora survive his first encounter with the Dark Knight? Will the Flash be okay? Who will Sora meet if he survives? Stay tuned.
