I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters within the Arkhamverse. They belong to Square Enix, Disney, DC, and Rocksteady. And here it is, the next chapter for the next mission or should I say missions? One was hinted in the preview, but the other... well, you don't need to be the World's Greatest Detective to know who else is going to be a problem in this fanfic-verse. Been busy with this and seen the new Wolverine & Deadpool, Beetlejuice, and played the new Star Wars Outlaws game. Let you guys know my thoughts later. This chapter will help future storylines in this fanfic moving forward. Now before we begin, we have a lot of reviews to go over so let's reply to them and move on to the new chapter...

gaming-is-served: And here's another a month later! Enjoy!

God of the Nobodies: Maybe~ Read the chapter and find out...

Indomiraptor: Should be fixed now, although, it would be nice to hear your thoughts on this story so far—spelling errors aside, of course.

johnymike98: Right now, don't have any plans for Hades or Deadpool showing up but who knows... things could change. As for Hercules and Phil on the other hand...;D

VaderSkywalker: Those were the two highlighted ones. He killed pretty much everyone inside the museum before Sora showed up. In Bruce's eyes when this is all over, he has a lot to repent for... even if it wasn't entirely his fault. Along with the rest of the League. And it's very likely those two will show up and I had to have Sora at least talk to Diana about Herc at some point so she wouldn't straight-up attack when he shows up... which is sooner than they both thought.

keybladelight: Well, Sora's not likely to repeat the work. If it was teenage Groot on the other hand... XD No plans to do any DLC arcs, right now the mission is to complete the main storyline of the AU game. If Sora meets the Suicide Squad from the cannon game again, it's likely to be in the endgame chapters. Probably after the final battle is over. To be honest with you, I haven't seen the anime Suicide Squad yet. So, I'm unsure how Sora would react to them. Zero plans for Deadpool to show up other than maybe a short cameo, but things could change. Yes, I have seen Wolverine and Deadpool as mentioned before. Seen it three times now to be exact. So, you can put your idea now in the next review after reading this new epic chapter of course.

Kejax Xashy: Thank you! And yes, I am aware of the games many flaws but I still enjoyed it overall. But I understand why many gamers won't touch this game, so I won't force you to like either. Still, glad you like my version of this What if...? of the game. Have a feeling if Square Enix, Disney, DC, and Rocksteady put their differences aside and made this What if... KH game instead... it would have sold like pancakes! And trust me, I have plenty of more fun with Jack's antics in this... including an interaction with a new character in here that has a history with the pirate but was never seen on the big screen or otherwise. You made some pretty good guesses overall but while Spider-Man is one of the many Marvel heroes set to appear here, the powerful hero isn't him.

I'll go into more detail of how Marvel heroes show up right before we dive into the chapter because I know some reviews are just going to scroll over these just to get to the chapter they've waited for.

Harold Godwinson: Glad you enjoyed it. I have more moments between Sora and mother Diana (cough, cough) within this crossover. As well as fun break moments between missions. Hope you enjoy what's to come.

Sinner and Redeemer: Exactly what I was thinking, considering you know who was hinted in the last chapter. Soon enough, she see he's more like Clark than the Hercules she knows. Oh, and you'll definitely see that for the big fight in this chapter!

IrishKatana: Well, wait no more, more characters are joining the cast today!

ZeroOrHero: That's going to be unlikely in this case because the majority of them mutinied Jack again for Barbossa. I suppose there is always Mr. Gibbs. We'll see for Big Hero 6. Plenty of Marvel characters though, I'll explain how that work in a bit. To be fair, Disney owes Marvel right now so the idea isn't unlikly... especially since they've been doing what if comics featuring Mickey and friends as Marvel Heroes. No joking. It's an actual thing. Look it up. Yes, Marvel and DC had many crossovers in the past, which I think is getting a re-release this year. Saw it up on Amazon recently.

Anyways, for this fanfic, I'm mostly sticking with movies rather than Disney Channel; I might make an exception or two. Keyword: might. Don't push it or it won't happen. Phineas and Ferb might be possible but I'm not making any promises.

For now, just expect theaterical Disney movie releases. I will confirm Yen Sid won't show up in this universe at all, I can't make things too easy for Sora. He'll most likely show up at the end of the story. In the epilogue. Also, this doesn't take place that long since KH3, so the events of Frozen just happened as the sequal took place like five years later. If I recall correctly, but there's a chance the others could show up but we'll see.

Guest02957: They don't know the full story yet. Just the small bits from Leon. Trust me, you'll know when they know the full story.

Yorozuya Forever: Kinda had to considering he shows up in the next chapter, and trust me when I say, I'm bring some big guns from Disney to take on the Man of Steel.

columbus3hunter: While I can niether confirm or deny that Carol will join our heroes, you'll have to read that in the chapter to find out, I will say... she doesn't stand a snowball's chance against Superman. They actually did fight in the comics before when she was Ms Marvel. Superman won without putting in too much effort. However, she would be a good ally against another member of the League, like Green Lantern... for example.

Guest: Dude, not cool. It's okay if you don't like the character, but you don't have say that someone who does. She's not a bad character at all, I just believe the writters don't know how to actually write her character. And to be honest, having her beinf played by an actual feminist activist wasn't Marvel's best ideas. I have other medias were she is portrayed much better. Like Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Midnight Suns for example. Still, even if you still don't like the character, even if Shazam should have kept the name Captain Marvel, don't diss on someone who actually does like Carol Danvers.

Doortolight47: The fact his personality is like Clark's doesn't hurt either. Lol. Heck, this version of Herc pretty much grew up with similar backgrounds with Superman.

carlsbad1315: You'll see how accurate your guesses were soon enough. And I actually have big plans of how Terrific helps get the resistance into shape and provide additional backup.

Seeking the Miraculous Dream: No form changes in this I'm afraid. Sora's powerset will be so great he really won't be needing it in this fanfic.

danifan3000: Absolutely zero chance of including Disney Descendants. Never got into it. Sorry.

Pinkflamingwarriorofjustice: While some DC characters do die in this, Wonder Woman or the founding members of League will not be one of them. After all, the title says that Sora saves the Justice League.

musizlover2008: Now I do have plans for some Pixar characters to appear in this. And while I did enjoy the second Incredibles, you can't deny it was a little woke. The first one was much better. I'm a little scared to see what they do with the third. Sorry, getting a little of topic. Point of the matter, you'll have to see which characters show up.

Stand Up Be Strong: Funny you should mention that...

Spiral-Voltron-Zero0Q1: True, Sora's not quite ready to here how DC's version of Herc turned out.

Guest: It's possible, no promises though. Need to see how they'd work.

KingNice92: He would be, and givin the chance he'd definitely check it out. But I think he would be more interested in one thing only. Cash's hook! He needs it. (Glace to Rocket snickering to himself)

Valkoor123113: It would be if we weren't more focused on the heroes, not the Suicide Squad. Sorry, those two didn't make the cut. But Remy has a good chance at showing up.

ShadowWolfG31: Some will be based on MCU characters while others focus more on blends of comics, games, and other media. And yes, some of the heroes will check out the Journal once its uploaded but Diana wants to hear from Sora's end personally. It'll be healthy for him to talk things out of what happened prior of coming to the DC universe.

Darkpheniox343: You'll see how Lex reacts to all of this, but I will say this. He isn't going to put the fate of the world on a teenager's shoulders, fictional characters, or coustumed vigilantes. His ego's too big for that. XD

mrstardust89: Stan Lee will be included, I just need to wait for the right opportunity.

Now one more thing before we begin, and its for those looking forward to the Marvel characters to show up here. Note that they'll appear as groups throughout the story so far example in this chapter focuses on the space heroes, then later on the outcasts. We'll also see the supernatural heroes of the Marvel Universe along with its Mightiest Heroes. So if you don't see a character you were hoping for in this chapter... there always a chance they'll show up later.

Now then, with that out of the way, let's start the chapter! Enjoy!


Chapter 8: Riddle Me This? Zero or Hero?

Later that evening, Sora and Wonder Woman regrouped with Commander Lane and some of the other resistant fighters. Those by the computer were Mr. Terrific, Oracle, Nightwing, Hawkgirl, Captain Atom, Captain Jack Sparrow, Plastic Man, Leon, Cid, Yuffie, Tifa, Areith, Din Djian, and Stitch along with a fully recovered Black Canary and Green Arrow. The map of the city showed up on the computer before a certain section had been zoomed in, as Lois told the group, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. After your efforts today and everything we've learned, you all could use some well-deserved rest. However, Oracle picked up a coded message in Hob's Bay." She turned to the redhead who had just rolled over to them with a laptop on her lap, "Barbra?"

"Playing the message back now." The woman in the wheelchair nodded before tapping on her computer.

When she pressed the enter key the message played on the Batcomputer, "Lane. It's me, Bibbo. If you're hearing this, I'm still alive. I've been laying low like you said, but I found a bunch of folks that haven't been turned to those alien monster hybrids. Dozens of 'em. Problem is, I saw Green Lantern passing by here. Something ain't right with him. He ain't himself. I don't think we can make it to the Hall of Justice on our own. If you can hear this, please send help."

"Bibbo's an old friend and a good man," The former Reporter told everyone, "He's been a big help in getting our people to safety. He went silent worried Batman was on to him, if he's still alive with a group of survivors, we gotta get them out of there."

"Agreed," Diana nodded, "We've lost enough lives to Brainiac than we already have."

"Excuse me, I don't mean any disrespect but why are we even discussing this," Plastic Man raised a hand, "Then why not have Cyborg Boom-Tube them here right now?"

"We couldn't get the exact location for their own safety," Oracle explained, "He couldn't take any chances if Bruce overheard the message. Besides, even if we did know their exact location, we risk bringing over Heartless and Nobodies here. And that's the best-case scenario."

"I need volunteers to find them, and get them to a secure location, so Cybrog can bring them all here," Lois turned to the heroes around them.

I'll go," Sora didn't hesitate, "Maybe I can pick up some more help along the way."

"I will go as well," Diana stepped in, "If John's there, I have the best chance of standing up to him at the moment."

"I'll go too," Hawkgirl declared, "Double those chances. Seeing me might cause him some pause."

"Arrow and I will tag along as well," Canary declared.

"So will I," Mando declared.

"Meega go," Stitch raised his hand.

"I've been nothing but a chair for weeks," Plastic Man declared, "Can I come along too?"

Everyone smiled at Plastic Man before Captain Jack Sparrow cleared his throat, "You'll be needing me as well. I'm your best chance of finding your survivors."

"How," Diana raised an eyebrow of speculation.

"You're compass," Lois realized.

Jack grinned as he placed his compass down, the Amazon Princess raised an eyebrow, "I don't understand."

"Well, in the Pirates of the Caribean franchise, Jack's compass isn't an ordinary compass," Nightwing smiled at Wonder Woman, "While it can't point north like most compasses, it can't point to whatever or whoever the user desires most."

"So that's how you knew where to find your ship," Sora turned to the pirate captain.

"Aye, mate," Jack nodded to Sora before turning to Nightwing, "And it's Captian Jac-"

"Thank you, everyone," Lois smiled to the Volunteers, "Now when you're ready, you may move out on your-"

Just then, the map grew fuzzy as a voice spoke on the computer tauntingly, "Ah ah ah! Don't touch that dial just yet!"

"Huh?" Sora blinked in shock, "What's happening?"

"Oh no," Barbra groaned.

Nightwing complained, "Really? Now, of all times?"

Just then a green image of a man dressed in clothes with question marks appeared on the holographic screen, "Not what, my spikey hair friend. Who? It is I, Edward Nigma! I'm sure you must have heard about me!"

Sora blinked in confusion, "Who?"

Nigma blinked in shock before turning to him, "Oh, right... um..." He then smirked, "I am Batman's arch-nemesis and intellectual superior."

"I thought the Joker died..." The Keyblade Wielder stated innocently.

"I'm not the Joker. He did die."

"So you're Scarecrow?"

"No!"

"Bane?"

"No, I'm-"

"Polka-Dot Man?"

Despite the annoying situation, those in the room couldn't help but hold back their laughs at the villain's dumbfoundedness, "DOES IT LOOKS LIKE I'M COVERED IN POLKA-DOTS, YOU LITTLE-?!" He then calmed himself down and cleared in throat, "I will forgive this case of mistaking identity just this once for what's to come." He then raised a staff, "It is I, the Riddler!"

"Never heard of you," The Keyblade Wielder stated while shaking his head.

Riddler frowned before gesturing to the Hall, "OH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! THE LEAGUE HAS A TROPHY FOR ONE OF THEIR SO-CALLED 'VICTORIES' OVER ME IN THERE LITTLE MUESUEM!"

Sora only blinked in confusion, as Diana managed to calm herself, and help the boy out with a smile on her face, "He's the one with the hat."

"OH!" Sora then realized, "YOU'RE THE BOWLER HAT GUY!"

Nightwing and Barbra only laughed harder at that statement with the former clutching his sides, as he made an unintentional mention of another villain from Sora's universe, as Riddler sighed, "Yes... I'm the guy with the bowler hat..."

"What do you want?" Leon, who had just as much as a clue of who Riddler was as Sora did, wanted to get straight to the point, "We're a little busy here."

"Yeah, trying to save the world." Yuffie nodded in agreement, "Your world to be exact."

"I was getting to that," Riddler muttered in annoyance before going back to his cocky grin, "Am I aware of the situation we're in, with most of the League, Batman including, playing for team Brainiac... needing someone to step up and save the world." An image of Amanda Waller appeared on his side, "From what I've gathered, the Government was planning to turn to Waller and her little Suicide Squad to save the world. Of course, Batman had her and her entire agency killed weeks ago, so then they turned to you..." He then pointed a finger at the resistance leader, "Miss Lane. Daddy managed to pull strings for that to work out, huh?" Lois narrowed her eyes at the criminal, before Riddler continued, "You know, I figured you just assembled a half-baked team with Wonder Woman as a pitiful attempt to save the world before turning to ME! Edward Nigma! The Riddler! But you..." He then laughed maniacally as he gestured to Sora, "You were willing to bet all of humanity on a child in oversized shoes, who can bring fictional characters to life with that oversized key, and doesn't look like he's even graduated high school! You truly must be desperate!"

"HEY!" Sora complained.

"Oh, did I hurt your feelings?" Riddler pretended to feel guilty, "Good!" He then smirked, "And to prove how much he'll fail, I set up riddles and challenges all over the city for him to attempt to solve."

"He has nothing to prove, Riddler," Diana spoke up on Sora's defense, "As you can see, we have better things to do than play around with you! We'll deal with you after this invasion is over!" She then turned to Terrific, "Lock him out."

"Already on it," Terrific grinned as he tapped on the keyboard.

"Oh, well, I suppose the lives of the hostages I have are forfeit then," Nigma sighed as he pretended like he was disappointed.

"Wait," Lois told the world's third smartest man before turning back to Riddler, "What hostages?"

"I said I've been watching," Riddle stated before pressing a button on his staff revealing Sora using the Keyblade to free the Mandalorian and Grogu from the portal, "Including the child using his oversized key to free poor unfortunate souls from the tears in our reality..." Just then, the footage charged to some kind of robot walking up to one of the portals and absorbing its energy, "So, I had my new and improved Riddlerbots collect several of these tears as an incentive."

The footage vanished as he turned to Sora, "Listen carefully to this next part, boy, this is the important part." He proudly declared, "Solve my riddles and the hostages go free..." He then grinned wickedly, "If you fail, oh, and I know you will, the Riddlerbots are programmed to send a transmission to Brainiac's force and they will go directly to him."

Everyone in the room gasped in horror, as Hawkgirl slammed her fist on the table, "YOU BASTARD!"

"Let them go!" Sora snapped as he summoned his Keyblade, "They have nothing to do with this!"

"Oh, the fate of their lives is in your hands, boy," Riddler pointed back as he declared, "Riddle me this, 'even Lois Lane relies on me, to get her news out to the city, efficiently. What am I?'"

Sora rubbed the back of his head, something Lois relies on? News? Sora's eyes widened as remembered passing it when they were looking for the Penguin, "Oh! The Radio Tower!"

"Very good," Riddler smirked, "Then again, it was one of the easier ones. Now, you want your hostages, go to the radio tower, and I give you my next Riddle. I left you a little present there for future purposes." His eyes then widened, "Oh, and to show I'm playing fair, I am allowing you to bring along one friend. You need 'em!"

With that, the transmission ended, and Barbra sighed, "So much for Brainiac being our main focus..."

"I felt like I got lucky on that one," Sora sighed as his Keyblade vanished. He then rubbed the back of his head, "Riddles aren't my thing."

"It's alright, Sora," Diana placed a hand on his shoulder, "You won't face this alone. We'll save the hostages together."

"But what about Bibbo," Green Arrow spoke up, as he stated, "We can't abandon him and the survivors either."

"We may have to do both," Lois frowned at that, she then turned to Batman's old protégés, "Nightwing, Oracle. You two know Riddler the best outside of Bruce, your thoughts."

"Unfountaly, we know Riddler enough to know he isn't bluffing," Nightwing's eyes narrowed, "If he really managed to contain some of the portals with the hostages, he'll have no issue using them against us."

"His over-inflated ego needs to prove that he's smarter and better than everyone," Oracle warned the heroes, "Since Batman is under Brainiac's control and with Waller dead, he thought the world would turn to him for help. But then Sora shows up with the Keyblade, and with Diana praising his predecessors, we're turning to him to save the world."

"Wait, he's doing this all because he's jealous?!" Sora blinked in disbelief.

"Unfortunately, it would seem that way," Lois looked to the Keyblade Wielder with sympathy, she then turned to Terrific, "Can you get the coordinates of where he's hiding?"

"I should be able to, but we'll need to keep him talking," Terrific answered as he tapped on the Bat Computer, "Best way to do that, is to play his game..."

"Guess we have little choice," Commander Lane sighed.

Diana then turned to Black Canary, "I'll take Sora to the tower so we can get started on Riddler's challenge. Dinah, can you lead the others to Hob's Bay..."

"We'll meet you there," The blonde hero nodded, "Watch yourself out there."

"To you as well," Diana smiled as she turned to spikey hair teenager, "C'mon, Sora, we're going beat Riddler at his own game!"

"Yeah," Sora pumped a fist as she and Sora turned to leave and the rest of the team went in a different direction.

Jack raised a finger, "Ah, question. Since none of us are going to be riding on our lion king, how are we going us non-flyers going to get to the other side of the city licky spit?"

"We have transportation in the Hall," Dinah answered, "We'll travel in pairs."

"Aye!" The pirate grinned lustfully, "Dibs on traveling with you, Luv."

"Oh, I don't think so!" Green Arrow glared as he chased after the pirate.

As both Leon and Lois clutched their heads, Cid picked his toothpick, "God, please don't let them kill each other."


Moments later, Diana flew herself and Sora to the radio tower. The teenager was at least having a blast, as he laughed, "Ah, man! I forgot how much I like flying!" He then looked up to the Amazon, "You think if we find, TinkerBell, she can give me pixie dust so I can fly around Metroplis too?"

While the fact of Disney films was still unfamiliar, she did enjoy her talks with Sora about his journey across the other worlds. They did go into details of some of the friends he'd met. She smiled, "Who knows? Maybe you'll pick up flight on one of the abilities of a metahuman from one of the tears. There are plenty of metas who can fly."

"Oh, I can't wait!" Sora beamed, he then frowned slightly, "How much do you know about this Riddler guy?"

"Bruce has clashed with Nigma since he first showed his cowardly face," Diana proceeded to explain, "He wanted to control Gotham through blackmail with the help of Joker pretending to be Black Mask. Batman stopped him and since then, he's tried to prove he's smarter than Batman. He's done unspeakable things to his friends to draw his attention so I'm not that surprised that he'd try something to ensure we do the same. Even after he joined the League." Sora frowned at that before reassuring him, "Don't worry, as crafty as he is, he's not as smart as he thinks he is. We'll stop him. And once we get Bruce back, we'll throw him back in Arkham where he belongs."

Sora smiled at that before he noticed Diana making their descent. It was then he realized, they had reached the tower. Setting him down, she told him, "Okay, Riddler said he left something for you."

Sora looked around before shrugging, "I'm not seeing a portal."

"With Nigma, it's never that simple," Wonder Woman advises, "It's likely another one of his toys..."

"Oh, got it," Sora nodded as they walked around and searched for whatever Riddler left them.

As they searched, the two could hear Batman speak to Brainiac's forces, "All forces: if your comms are hijacked by a Terran determined to present you with riddles - ignore him. The Terran criminal in question is... obsessive. And not with duration from the main mission."

Diana sighed in relief, "That might be a good thing in our case. It gives us more time to solve his riddles and save the hostages."

Sora nodded in agreement before spotting something leaning up against the tower, and picked it up, "Hey, I think I found something."

The Amazonian Princess turned to him as he presented her the device. Her eyes narrowed, "I know this device. I saw this device in the Bat Cave."

"Yes, yes, your primitive eyes do not deceive you," Riddler's voice spoke in their coms, alerting the two, as he continued, "It is the same device I gave to Batman in Arkham City. Allow me to explain how rules of this little game of ours..."

"Let me guess," Diana cut him off, "...you've had riddles and your Riddler Trophies all over the city, Sora needs to find enough of them for you to give us a another riddle to solve for you to give us a location of a hostage, afterwards Sora has to face a challenge to rescue that hostage." Her eyes narrowed, "You did the same thing with Batman back in Arkham City."

"Very good. I see Batman has told your own primitive mind about our previous endeavors," Riddler replied in a cocky voice, "I felt like since this kid feels the need to bring Disney characters into this, I felt the need for nostalgia." He chuckled, "I even made some of my latest riddles Disney themed."

"Okay, Riddler, we're here!" Sora snapped, "Where's the hostage?!"

"Patients. First, a little example of how this works," Riddler replied calmly before starting his next riddle, "'My shadow falls across the city, my piecing gaze knows no pity. What am I?'"

Sora turned to Diana, as she stated, "Don't worry, the answer is usually nearby. Remember when you had to scan the portals for data."

"Yeah," Sora nodded as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Same principle, when you find the answer, just look at it and scan it when the same button," The Amazon reassured him.

"But what is the answer to the riddle?" Sora pondered, "My shadow falls across the city, my piecing gaze knows no pity."

"Think Sora, what's currently threatening this city?" Wonder Woman gave Sora a small hint.

"Heartless, Nobodies, Brainiac..." He started before his eyes widened in realization, "The Skull Ship!"

Sora then quickly turned to the Skull Ship and pressed the scan button to show his answer. Riddler's voice soon followed, "See? That wasn't so hard. I don't want to fail this soon! Now a riddle for the location of my first hostage! You have my device, use it well."

Sora leaned to his com. as Riddler went to ask his next Riddle, "I'm the fairest of them all, but my beauty is also my greatest fall. Who am I?"

Sora smirked to himself as Diana admitted, "I admit, I'm unfamiliar with this one but if you know the riddle all you need to do is..."

"It's okay," Sora smiled as he sat down with the device, "You don't need to explain everything... I got this one..."

Wonder Woman smiled and nodded as he imputed his answer. He knew one Princess who fit that description: Snow White.

"Well, well, well... so you know that fair Princess. Well done! You have barely reached below my expectations," Riddler chuckled causing Sora's eyes to narrow in annoyance, "Now as promised the location of the first hostage, I suggest you heigh-ho yourselves over there! Otherwise, I'm afraid they won't be wishing their way out of this one."

Not soon after, Oracle spoke through the coms., "Hey, we received coordinates from an unknown user... guess you managed to solve the first riddle and earned the location of the first hostage."

"I guess so," Sora admitted, "Where did it show?"

"It looks like it's somewhere near the Daily Planet," The former Batgirl answered.

Diana reached for her own coms, "Figure's. I'll get us there in no time."

"I don't doubt that," Oracle reassured her before stating her thoughts, "But Sora... be careful... Riddler's challenges can be deadly and get more so as you keep solving his riddles."

"Even so, we can't leave those hostages in Riddler's hands," Sora replied, "We have to help them." He then smiled confidently, "Besides, Riddler doesn't stand a chance with all of us against him."

The redhead chuckled, "I suppose you're right..." She then spoke with a concerned voice, "Still... all the same... be careful. We lost enough good people from this invasion."

"I will," Sora promised before turning to Diana, "Alright, let's get that portal."

"Hold on," The Amazon smiled as she picked up Sora lifted off the ground, and flew to the Planet.

As they flew to the other end of the city, Mr Triffic spoke through the coms., "Sora, Diana... I've been talking with Cid and we have a favor to ask the two of you before you confront Nigam's challenge."

"How can we help?" Sora asked Terrific.

"That Riddler guy, as nuts as he is, he was smart enough to find a way to contain and move about pathway from our universe to this one," Cid spoke through the coms., "You can snag what's left of the bot you beat, we may be able to do the same and bring them to the Hall where it's safe."

"So, Brainiac or Riddler can't use them against us," Diana realized.

"Exactly, but we need those components for us to study," The man in the 'T' mask told the two, "Once the hostages are safe, make sure you have someone bring back whatever's of the machine is intact."

"The head would be preferable," Cid quickly added, "It should contain the data we need."

"You got it," Sora smiled, "We'll give you the heads up when we get it." With that, the communication ended, as they went closer to the planet, as the spiky-haired teen turned to the Princess of the Amazons, "Hey, Diana? Have you ever fought the Riddler before?"

"Once, and it was enough to know how much of a headache he can be," She admitted, "But Oracle is right to be concerned, Riddler can be a danger to you and anyone he comes into contact with. The sooner we rescue the hostages he has the better."

Soon enough, they landed just outside the planet building, she told him, "Stay close and keep an eye out. He's likely to have a lair hidden filled with traps."

Sora nodded as they two headed inside, as they did, the teen activated his detective vision on his visors. Looking around the room, he pointed to a wall, "Hey, I see a green question mark by that wall to our left."

"The Riddler's calling card," Diana glanced at the Keyblade's chosen one, "That has to be it." She then told the young man, "Show me exactly where you see it."

Sora nodded as he walked up to the wall and touched it, "Here."

The Amazon walked up and knocked on the wall, which sounded hollow. She then kicked the wall down revealing a hatch to the basement floor. Sora looked at it, as he deactivated the detective vision, "Guess that's where we go."

She nodded as she opened the hatch, she glanced back to the key barrier, "I'll go down first... just in case..."

Sora nodded as she climbed down the ladder and after a moment, she called out to Sora, "Okay! It's safe! You can come down!"

The boy quickly followed the founding Justice League member as he slid down the latter as they turned to the first challenge room. Sure enough, a projector screen rolled down as Riddler's image appeared, "Well, well, well... our contestants have finally arrived. I thought it would be forever for you two to show yourselves." The two heroes glared at the projection in response as Riddler gestured to the two light green pressure floor plates at the other end of the room, "Now then, the challenge is simple, simply cross the room and stand on the plates. Can you do it?"

Sora was about to walk across before Wonder Woman placed an arm on him, "Wait... this is too easy..."

Her eyes narrowed as she took a step forward while keeping Sora back. When she did, hatches within the walls opened and turrets fired about the Amazon, she quickly deflected each bullet as she stepped back. Sora's eyes widened, "Whoa!"

"See what I mean," She glanced to the Key barrier, "She scanned the room, "He must have invisible sensors to trigger the turrets..."

"Any ideas how we can see them?" Sora glanced at the Amazon Princess.

She crossed her arms and hummed in though, before turning to him, "Maybe if we can make the room colder, the hidden sensors might reveal themselves..."

Sora blinked in thought before staring at his hand, thinking of his new enhanced ice powers from... well... Ice. He stretched out his hand as he activated that power causing the room to get colder and colder until many red beams revealed themselves. She smiled, "Good work. Now we just need to get past them." Wonder Woman flexed her arms as she smiled at Sora, "You think you can get to the other end without touching the sensors?"

Sora smirked confidently as he did a few stretches before preparing to make a dash to the other end of the room, "Easy."

Diana smiled back, as she told him, "Alright... now!"

The two used their agility in perfect sync avoiding all the beams of light. Diana had faced many trials and challenges back in Themyscia. While both Shang and Phil mentored Sora to prepare for similar situations on their respective worlds. Soon enough, both heroes landed on the green floor plates which glew brighter causing the lights to dim. Just then, floor panels opened up from below the entrance the heroes entered, and Riddlerbots leaped out and went into battle stances as Riddler spoke through the coms., "Hmm... I expected Wonder Woman to get past here but you, kid, were more agile than anticipated. Ah, well, a deal's a deal, but first can you survive my Riddlerbots?"

Sora summoned his Keyblade while Diana drew out her sword, as the former stated, "Now this is a challenge I know I can get into!"

"Oh, I don't doubt that and I do hope you appreciate the effort for your shared love as Batman's and the League's taste for their barbaric against my Riddlebots," Riddler stated as the two heroes charged at the machines, "It's the most fun you'll have this whole pitiful attempt to outwit me."

Sora brought his Keyblade down upon the robots knocking them back, as Diana kicked one and sliced the head off another. The heroes continued to destroy the incoming Riddlerbots as Sora asked her, "So, which one has the portal?"

"I'm not sure," She admitted as she plunged her sword into one machine's chest, "Look for any that seem different from the others."

"But they all look the-" Sora started as he shook his head as he sent another bot crashing into another. His eyes widened as he realized, "Wait..." He then pointed to one that was different from the others, as most of them had green lights but the one he pointed at showed a different light, "That one! That one's blue! Like the portals!"

Pulling out her golden lasso, Wonder Woman nodded, "Go. I deal with the remaining robots."

She wrapped her lesson on one of the Riddlerbots before swinging it around and smashing it into the others. Sora cut through two before aiming his Keyblade at a group of robots, "Deep freeze!"

Magic ice, enhanced with his new ice powers froze the group of robots, including the robot with the the one with the portal. He then raised his Keyblade and smashed the entire group of enemies. "Take this!"

Shattering like glass, the portal was free as stretched out further, as Riddler projection appeared, "Well done, you managed to complete this first trail and you deserve your prize, but don't let it go to your head... it only gets harder from here." He then told the spikey-haired teen, "Solve my riddles, boy, your friends are welcome to but in the end, you will have to face these challenges alone. I'll be in touch when I believe you are ready for the next challenge." He chucked, "As long as it may take for you."

With that the project ended, as Sora turned to Wonder Woman, "Has he always been like this?"

"To my knowledge," She admitted, "Bruce encountered Riddler more times, you would have to ask him, Nightwing, or Oracle if you want to know more." She then smiled, "But still, let's get the hostages out of there."

"Right," The teenager nodded as he twirled his Keyblade and he aimed it at the portal, light swirled around the tip of the blade before a beam shot out and struck the portal.

Suddenly, a small round stuffed yellow bear with a red shirt walked out of the portal and looked around, before frowning in disappointment, "Oh, bother... and here I was hoping this would lead to an endless supply of honey..."

"Pooh?!" Sora blinked in shock.

"Oh, Sora," The bear turned to Sora and smiled, "Why this is a pleasant surprise after all!" He then stated, "Wherever we are might not have honey, but at least we found our dear friend!"

"Sora? You know this bear," Diana turned to Sora in surprise.

"Oh, yeah, this is Pooh," Sora gestured to the stuffed bear, "He's from the Hundred Arced Woods. I guess a portal opened over there too." He then paused, "Wait, we?" He then turned to Pooh, "Pooh, did any of the others follow you?"

"Oh, yes," Pooh smiled before turning to the others, "It's okay everyone, Sora's here too."

Just then, a small pink pig nervously peeked his head out of the portal, "R-r-really? Sora's here?"

"Hey, Piglet," Sora waved to him happily.

"Oh, it really is Sora," Piglet smiled before and stuffed donkey with a frown on his face, "Guess something came out positive for your house getting knocked over for once, Eeyore."

"Ooooh," Sora winced, "The portal destroyed your house? Sorry, Eeyore."

"No worries," The stuffed donkey replied, "It was likely to fall over anyway."

"I'm sure we can fix your home once everything is said and done," Diana reassured Eeyore, startling Piglet. She quickly apologized, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you."

"It's okay, guys," Sora reassured the newcomers, "Diana's a friend."

"Oh, y-you're Sora's friend?" Piglet blinked as he turned to Diana. She gave him a reassuring smile before nodding as the small stuffed pig sighed in relief, "Oh, thank goodness..."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Diana," Pooh greeted the Amazon, "My name's Pooh. Winnie-the-Pooh." He then gestured to his nervous friend, "This is my very good friend, Piglet." Piglet gave her a small wave which she returned, as Pooh continued as he gestured to the donkey, "And that's our friend, Eeyore."

"Thanks for noticin' me," Eeyore stated with a frown.

"And Tigger..." Pooh gestured to the portal before turning around, when his bouncy friend didn't come out, "Tigger? Are you still in there?"

Suddenly the orange-black stripped cat bounced out of the portal and tackled Sora to the ground before laughing cheerfully, "Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Sora! It's so good seeing ya again! We haven't had a good bouncing challenge last time you visited! Spent too much time in long-ears garden!"

Sora chuckled, "Maybe some other time, Tigger."

Just then, the portal vanished concluding everyone got out as Tigger looked around, "So what were you doing in that magic sparkly hole on Eeyore's house."

"Well, Sora was introducing us to his friend, Diana," Pooh answered on the spiky-haired teenager's behalf.

"Friend? What friend?" Tigger blinked before turning to Wonder Woman, "Oh, didn't see ya there!" He bounced over to her allowing Sora to return to his feet as the stuffed Tigger shook the Amazon's hand, "Well, good to meet ya! The name's Tigger. T-I-double gah-er! That spells Tigger!"

While Diana knew how to write in English quite well to know that he was missing some letters, but still smiled and greeted him, "The pleasure's all mine." She then glanced to Sora, "They're not fighters are they?"

"Nope, in fact, their world is inside the pages of a book," Sora whispered back.

That was all that Diana needed to hear, they needed to get them straight back to the Hall of Justice. Tigger then bounced around, "Say this isn't the Hundred Arced Woods..." He then gasped in awe, "Is this where Sora comes from?"

"If it is," Eeyore stated, "It's too dark and gloomy for him."

"Well, this isn't my home," Sora admitted, "And, you're right Tigger, this isn't the Hundred Arced Woods either... it's... well... it's complicated... but we're on a different world... in a different universe... honestly, I don't even understand it all but we're figuring it out."

"Another world..." Piglet blinked, "In another universe..." He then shivered, "Oh, d-d-dear. I don't think we've ever been this far away from home before."

"Don't worry, we'll find a way for everyone to get home," Diana reassured the scared friend. She then reached for her coms, "Cyborg, we rescued the hostages but there's no way they'll stand a chance against Brainiac's forces... we need a pickup for them."

"Okay, I'm opening up a Boom-Tube in your location to pick them up," Victor answered, "But you and Sora need to get back to the Suicide Slums... Lantern's closing in on the Bibbo and the other survivors' location."

"Understood," Wonder Woman nodded, "We'll head right over once we know Sora's friends are safe."

With that, she ended the call, and a boom-tube opened up right behind them, startling Piglet, "Yipes! Not another one!"

"It's okay, this one will take you to where a whole bunch of our friends are staying," Sora reassured the pig, "They'll keep you safe until we find our way back home."

"R-r-realy?" Piglet turned to Sora nervously, "Well, I suppose if it's your friends..." He couldn't help but wonder, "But how long do you think we'll stay there until we find a way back."

"Days, weeks, months," Eeyore replied, "Who knows?"

"We'll get you all back home safely before you know it," Diana reassured the newcomers, she then turned to Sora, "Also, don't forget the-"

"Oh, right," Sora slapped his forehead, he had almost forgotten. He did a quick look around before spotting one of the Riddler's robots, whose eyes still flickered with blue light. He picked it up and handed it to Tigger, "You think you guys can pass this off to our friends back in the Hall of Justice? It'll help a lot of people out here."

Tigger brightened up, "No problem, Sora! Helping folk is what Tiggers do best. Well, that and bouncing."

"Um, what exactly is a Tigger?" Diana wondered. Based on Tigger's appearance, she assumed he resembled a tiger and assumed he was one until that statement.

Sora, however, knew what was coming as Tigger smiled, "Well, I'm very glad you asked. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"

"Please. Not the song," Eeyore pleaded for even as a bounce-like musical beat started much to the Amazon's shock.

"The wonderful thing about Tiggers," Tigger started to sing as he danced, "Is Tiggers are wonderful things~!"

"Their tops are made out of rubber~" Tigger explained as he bounced around the Riddlerbot's head with his tail before bouncing around Sora, Wonder Woman, and his friends from the Hunderd Acred Woods, "Their bottoms are made out of springs~!They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy! Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun! But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is~" Diana blinked in shock as Tigger concluded his song, "I'm the only one~"

The Amazon Princess glanced at Sora, "How often does he do that?"

"Ever since I've known him," The Keyblade Wielder admitted.

"I'm the only one," Tigger whispered with a smile.

"You absolutely sure it safe to travel down this hole, Sora," Piglet asked the teenager.

"Sure," Sora smiled and nodded to Piglet, "Like I said on the other side are even more friends of mine and a guy who kinda looks like a penguin."

"A guy who looks like a Penguin," Tigger raised an eyebrow, "Now this I've gotta see!" He then waved to Sora and Diana, "TTFN! Ta ta for now!" He then bounced through the portal, "C'mon, Donkey Boy! Let's go see the Penguin guy!"

"Oh joy," Eeyore stated sourly as he slowly followed the bouncing Tigger.

"...they also have plenty of food back there," Sora offered to Pooh and Piglet, "Including honey."

"Honey?!" Pooh beamed happily.

"Oh, dear," Eeyore turned back to Diana and Sora, "You probably won't have much honey left when he gets his hands on it."

"Oh, I wouldn't mind a small smackerel or two," Pooh smiled as he turned to Piglet, "Come along, Piglet, a place that has Sora's friends and honey couldn't be that bad."

"You're probably right, but..." Piglet nodded as the two walked through the portal to the Hall of Justice, "...I just hope they find a way for us to get back home soon."

Eeyore once again glumly stated, "Probably won't."

As the Boom-Tube closed, Diana turned to Sora, "Mr. Terrific and the rest of the resistance will fill them in on the rest of the situation, we need to keep moving. The others need us in the Suicide Slums." She then noticed the frown on teenager's face, "Are you alright?"

"If Riddler managed to get his hands on Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger..." Sora turned to her, "I'm worried who else he managed to get his hands on."

The Amazon sighed as she placed an arm on his shoulder, "Yes, your worries are true concerns. Riddler will target anyone for us to play his twisted games. Fortunately, they seemed unaware of the true danger they were in, and I'm certain we'll rescue the others. Take solace in that." When Sora didn't look like his spirits were lifted up just yet, Diana gave him a kind smile, "Besides, Riddler's not as smart as he claims to be."

Sora blinked as he tilted his head, "What do you mean?"

"Despite Bruce's identity being public knowledge for over five years," She gave an amused smile, "He is still in denial that Bruce is Batman."

Sora blinked, "Seriously?"

"Oh, yeah, when he was unmasked on live television, Nigma was in deep denial as he never deduced it," The Amazon Princess stated, "That he believed to be a ruse. Still believes it to this day."

"Wow, even Pete wouldn't be that much in denial," Sora stated in shock, he then slowly smiled, "In that case, then we can beat this guy!" He then blinked, "So how long will it take before he reveals the next riddle?"

"Well, we need to solve more of his riddles in the city before he reveals that information," Wonder Woman smiled, "Thankfully, he's allowing us to help because he doesn't believe you're smart enough to do it on your own, which gives us an advantage. The other heroes and friends of yours that volunteer will help solve the majority of Riddler's riddles, but we also need to focus on helping the ones still out there, freeing my own friends, and stopping Brainiac from terraforming the Earth."

"Right, we can do both," Sora nodded in determination, "Let's help the others at the Suicide Slums."

Diana nodded as they quickly went back upstairs, and the Amazon flew the two of them across the city. While in flight, Sora wondered, "Hey, Diana? How'd Riddler have time to make all of that anyway?"

"The incursion has been going on for weeks, so he might have prepared his riddles and challenges using his robots within that time frame," Diana explained as she continued her flight path, "He probably was hoping to use it for Bruce, or Waller if Bruce didn't... Anyways, since you came here and the world is turning to use to save it, he also turned his sights on you, and made what adjustments needed to challenge you."

"Does he seriously have nothing better to do?" Sora blinked in disbelief, "Why not use that brain of his for something useful?"

"Sora... if I had an answer for that, we wouldn't be dealing with him now," The Amzaon stated as they flew closer to their destination.

As they did, Lois appeared on the screens throughout the city, "This is Lois Lane. If you're seeing this, you are the resistance. Ever since most of the League had been... turned... by Brainiac, most of us believed we had only Wonder Woman left to defend us, I am here to inform you that is no longer the case." The former reporter for the Planet continued, "Heroes from all over the country, like Captain Atom, former U.S. Air Force pilot, and Cyborg, founding member of the Titans have been volunteering to defend us despite the odds against us. Also, while I can't go into too much detail, a great hero from another world, Wonder Woman and the Amazons, who even respect legacy, has returned to defend us, and I believe he could be the key to saving our world, as he already made constant victories the past two days."

"Until then, if it's safe, try to make it to the Hall of Justice if you are able, stay low and stay safe," The resistance leader concluded, "This is Lois Lane... sighing off..."

Sora and Wonder Woman had landed on the ground as Green Arrow peeked around the corner, and gestured over to the two. They quickly ran over and rejoined the group consisting of himself, Black Canary, Captian Jack Sparrow, Stitch, Mando, Hawkgril, and Plastic Man. Sora asked them, "Did you find the survivors yet?"

"Not yet," Arrow admitted before gesturing to the pirate, "But according to our pirate friend, we're getting close..."

"But we do have a problem," The Mandalorian stated as he hid behind another building as he gestured Diana to look carefully. The Amazon did so, peeking out slightly, as Batman looked down below them from the buidlings above, "He's been following us."

"If we go any further, we could lead him to the hostages," Dinah warned the two, "He could call down Lantern, along with any Heartless and Nobodies near the area."

"So what are we going to do?" Sora wondered, "We can't just leave the hostages either."

"You're not," The Mando stated as he drew out a blaster, "I can stall him as long as I can while you get to the hostages and pull them out."

"You plan to take on the most dangerous man alive by yourself?" Plastic Man's eyes widened under his goggles, "That's suicide!"

The Mandalorian raised his blaster, "This is the way."

"Regardless, it's not a terrible plan," Black Canary stated.

"It isn't?" Everyone turned to her like she had grown a third head.

"His beskar armor could protect him from most of Batman's gadgets," Dinah explained, "It wouldn't be enough but if enough of us aid him, the rest of you could go and help the survivors. The you can single us to retreat once the innocents are safe."

"You sound like you're volunteering," Arrow blinked, "Why are you volunteering?"

"Outside of Diana, I'm probably the best fighter among us," The blonde woman answered, "I could get some hits in with Mando."

"Well, I'm not letting you face him alone, I'm in too!" Oliver declared before turning to Plastic Man, "Plas, you're coming too."

"I am?!" He gasped.

"We can't all go," Hawkgirl told the group, "Some of us need to aid Wonder Woman and the kid if John shows up..." She then turned to Sora, "...and we'll need some heavy hitters. No offense, kid, but at where you are now, you won't stand a chance against Lantern."

"To be fair, they also have you and Stitch," Oliver pointed out.

Everyone turned to the alien experiment who had his tongue in his nose to eat his boogers. As most winced in distrust, Plastic Man chuckled, "Oh yeah... I remember when he did that in the movie... classic."

"He's stronger and smarter than he looks," Green Arrow defended himself before adding, "You also had whoever you saved from Riddler." He then couldn't help but wonder, "Where are they anyway?"

"We sent them back to the Hall," Sora explained, "It's not safe for them out here. They're not like the rest of us."

"Aw, they can't be that bad," Oliver shook his head, "It's not like you brought someone like Winnie the Pooh and friends here." After an awkward moment of silence, he realized, "It was Winnie the Pooh, wasn't it?"

"And Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger too," The teenager nodded.

"Ooooooooh~," Plastic Man rubbed the back of his head, "I don't think they'll be much help in this."

"At best, they can keep the children entertained with Timon and Pumbaa," Canary nodded in agreement, "Still, even with Wonder Woman and Stitch on the front, it might not be enough to take on an unhinged and out-of-control Green Lantern. You'll need backup."

"Perhaps you can call the Hall, and ask for Captain Atom?" Arrow suggested.

"We can't risk opening another boom-tube, we could risk letting Brainiac know what we're up to," Diana stated, "And even if he flew here and top speed, it still take him a while for him to arrive and the survivors have waited long enough."

"I might have an idea," Mando got their attention as he hosted his blaster, "I didn't just see Batman upon arriving in this sector." He walked past the group, before walking up to a building, and gestured placed his hand, "My scans are picking up a portal within this building, it could posses the reenforcements you need while we keep Batman occupied."

"Could and will, are two completely different things," Hawkgirl stated, "What if we get someone helpless like more of this Pooh's friends?"

"Or we could get someone good," Oliver argued, "Like Mr. Incredible, or Luke Skywalker, or Maui?"

"I don't know who any of those are," Sora admitted, "Be regardless if I met them or not," He then summoned his Keyblade, "I can't just leave them in there. If they can help then that works just better."

"Agreed," Diana nodded before encouraging him, "Go for it, Sora."

Sora nodded to the Amazon Princess as he walked toward the building entrance, as Oliver wondered, "You need someone to pick the lock for you?"

"It's alright," Sora reassured the archer as he raised his respective weapon, "I have the key, remember?"

"Oh, it works on any lock in existence," He recalled before glancing to the others as he lightly joked, "What thieves and burgers wouldn't give to get their hands on one of those."

"You do realize my point still stands, right?" Hawkgirl stated, "We could get someone completely useless, and end up being an obstacle than a benefit."

"Regardless," Diana glanced to the Thangarian, "We can just leave those trapped inbetween our universe and Sora's."

"Even if it was someone like me?" Jack raised a finger as Sora easily unlocked the door and went inside.

She sighed, "Even if it was someone like you, Sparrow."

Just then, a light show went on inside and everyone turned to see who would come out. Sora came into their sights, "We got people coming in!"

After a moment, a large tree-like figure exited the building and looked around. Sora gave a wave to the living tree, as the newcomer waved back before turning back to the door, "I am Groot."

"I said NOT to touch it," An angry voice explained back, as he came into the heroes sight as an anthropomorphic raccoon, "Groot! Ya gotta stop touching everything until I know it's safe to grab!"

"I am Groot." The tree replied as he gestured to the area around them.

"So what it was just a portal to Terra?!" The angry raccoon exclaimed, "You didn't know it would take us to Quill's stinkin' home planet! For all we knew, it could have taken us to the Negative Zone or the Dark Dimension!"

Then a third, this one-looking human walked out, a blond woman with a red and blue uniform with a yellow star on his chest, "Cut him some sack, Rocket. No harm was done. We just need to confirm with the remaining heroes who weren't caught in the portals to ensure the other tears in reality didn't bring anyone like Thanos or Galactus to Earth."

"Yeah, yeah," The raccoon, now known as Rocket, slowly nodded in sighed, "I'll call the rest of the Guardians and they can bring the Milano to pick us up." He then noticed the Sora and the other heroes, "Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer."

The woman turned to the group of heroes, "Hey, does any of you have a phone I could borrow? I need to make a quick call."

Green Arrow blinked in shock, "Captain Marvel, Rocket, and Groot." He turned to Canary, "Pretty good heroes to go up against Lantern."

"Yeah, let's just hope she isn't like her... movie... counterpart..." Black Canary stated.

"Beggars can't be choosers," Arrow shrugged.

Jack glanced to the newcomers, and blinked, "I didn't think I was this drunk... cause I don't know what you mates have been seeing but I see a talking tree, raccoon, and-"

"YOU!"

Everyone turned to Captain Marvel, who was glaring at Jack, the pirate blinked his eyes narrowed before he whispered, "Carol?" He then smiled pleasantly, "Carol!"

The new hero marched past Sora, who was baffled, along with the others. Diana blinked in confusion, "You two know each other?"

"Aye. It's been years and she wore a more... lovely outfit..." The pirate grinned, "But we worked together befo-"

Soon enough, Carol stood in front of Jack who slapped in the face. Diana gave him an unamused look, "I suppose you didn't deserve that one either?"

The Captain of the Black Peril admitted, "That one I did deserve."

"You... stole... my... cat!" Captain Marvel glared.

"I am Groot?"

"Wait," Rocket blinked as he gestured to the pirate, "This is the guy who snapped your flerken while you were drunk?!"

"Hold on, by cat, by flerken..." Arrow blinked as he turned to the heroine, "You don't mean the cat that can pretty much eat anything or anyone?"

"Huh?" Sora tilted his head along with Diana, Stitch, Mando, and Hawkgirl.

"Well, actually..." Jack raised a finger before Carol slapped him again. After a brief pause, he continued, "Borrowed. Borrowed your feline with an appetite greater than the Kraken. With every intention of returning her. Which I did."

"After I tracked you down with Mar-Vell, she consumed the rival pirates, and you stuck away with the device that crashed on your planet, which we all agreed beforehand how dangerous it was," Carol glared at Sparrow as a third party watched the events unfold.

"It was true. Before these events had taken place, before Sparrow and Sora even met each other. Carol Danvers and Mar-Vell, captain of the Kree army, traveled to the Carribean to with the freklin known as Goose to search for a device so powerful, even the planet eater, Galactus feared its capabilities." The Watcher explained before waving his hand, turning back time, as the previous Captain Marvel and the young and eager Ms. Marvel exited the Kree ship and touched down on the planet's ground with said flerken. Their ship turned invisible as they wandered the new world, "The three would track it down that world and by extension turn, they gaze to one of the world's greatest pirates the world would soon come to know..."

Smashing through a window, a young pirate stumbled back onto his feet and ran as another group of pirates chased after him. He ran towards the disguised Mar-Vell, Ms Marvel, and Goose. The youthful pirate ran into the young woman before collapsing to the ground. He quickly recovered, shaking his head, "Captain Jack Sparrow."

The young woman tilted his head, as Jack gave a nervous smile at her, before remembering the other pirates after him. Before they could get to them though, Goose opened her mouth as tentacles launched out and swooped up all of the other pirates and pulled them into her mouth. The other occupants of Tourtga blinked, many if not most wondered if they had too much to drink. Jack including. Carol looked down at the young pirate and offered him her hand, which he gratefully accepted...


"It just so happened, that Sparrow was also after the artifact the heroes from another world were after," Time passed, and the four discussed the stakes of the Caribbean, "He not only knew the pirates who had the alien artifact, but more importantly..." Jack placed his compass on the table,"He had the means of tracking them down."

The disguised Kree, and young woman all stared at the enchanted compass before turning back to the pirate, who gave them a cocky smile and crossed his arms. "Their goals seemingly aligned, an alliance was forged..." Carol gave a smile to the confident youthful pirate, who's grinned increased,...and, well, let's just say something sparked between the young pirate and the Kree/human hybrid."


"However, Jack had his own plans for recovering the device," Sitting on a bed, the future Captian of the Black Peril placed his hat on his head, turning to the young woman lying on the other side of the mattress with a half-drunken bottle of rum in her hand, and then turned to the sleeping alien cat, and grinned, "Witnessing the flerken's capabilities, Sparrow believed he could recover the alien device on his own and make a name for himself..."


Time passed again, Sparrow unleashed the power of the flerken on the enemy group of pirates with his crew. His first mate, Barbossa, blinked as the cat consumed the crew of pirates. Jack turned his first mate as he handed him the alien cat, he recovered the Ultimate Nullifier, twirling it with his finger, "While successful," Sparrow's eyes widened in horror to see a pissed-off Ms. Marvel coming after them, "Carol Danvers was far from happy."

"All crew, get this ship moving!" Sparrow exclaimed to his crew.

Everyone went to their stations as they quickly set sail, realizing it wouldn't be enough. Barbossa threw the cat overboard, causing Carol to diverge her path to save Goose. Diving into the salty waters, she pulled out the flerken, sighing in relief, before glaring at the pirate ship as it was getting further and further away. She was about to pursue, it when Mar-Vell called out to her, "CAROL!"

Ms. Marvel turned to the Kree Warrior, who flew over to her, "It's okay. Let them go. The device is broken and useless now. They can't do anything with it."

The young Avenger stayed her hand but glared where Jack as his ship sailed further from the distance, "With the threat seemingly resolved, Carol hoped she'd never see that pirate again... but I see all... and... it's funny how life plays out sometimes..."


Waving his hand, the Watcher returns to the persent as Canary admitted, "This is... not how I thought this would play out."

"Jack," Sora looked at him with disappointment.

Sparrow's only excuse for himself, "Pirate."

"You either gotta be either the bravest or the stupidest Terrian I have met," Rocket stated to the pirate, "And I know Peter Quill."

"Look, I admit mistakes were made," Jack raised his hands in defense, "But the device was useless, so the important thing that happened is no one got hurt."

"Your first mate three Goose overboard," The current Captain Marvel glared at the pirate.

"Former first mate," Jack raised a finger, "Lots happened since we split was. He and my old crew betrayed me and left me marooned on an island with nothing by my things and a single bullet. So, I killed him and took back my ship, until Tia Dalma brought him back, to help us stop Davvy Jones and Beckat... and stole my ship from me... again..." Sparrow then quickly added, "You want to rip someone in half, do it to him! I'll even help you!"

"I don't need your help," She growled, "In fact, he's next after I..."

"Woah! Easy!" Sora stood between the two, Carol raising an eyebrow to the boy, and Jack hiding behind him. Sora turned to the former, "Excuse me, uhhhh, Carol is it? It sounds like you and Jack have a lot of history, but we've got other things to worry about."

"Listen to the lad," The pirate captain gestured to Sora.

"I'm sorry but who are you?" Carol blinked.

"I'm Sora," He introduced himself, "And well, from the sound of it, you've been on Jack's world before..." The Key Bearer continued, "You know Jack, if he's here, how'd he end up here."

Carol blinked before easing up as she turned to the pirate, "You saw the tears in reality too."

"Aye," Captian Jack Sparrow admitted, "It brought me here, along with many others."

"Others?" She blinked as she turned to the other heroes.

Rocket looked to the group as he turned to Rocket, "I am Groot."

"Yeah," The raccoon nodded, "This is more widespread than we thought." He sighed, "I'll call the rest of the Guardians. Figure out how to get everyone home." As he went back to his device, he muttered to himself, "Gonna cost a lot of fuel. Should charge some of these losers."

"Anyways, these are Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Plastic Man, Hawkgirl, Mando, Stitch, and... you've clearly already met, Jack," Sora introduced the others as they all nodded and waved to the new comers.

After a moment, Carol sighed and smiled at Sora, "Carol Danvers. Most people know me as Captain Marvel."

"Captain Marvel?" Wonder Woman repeated.

"I thought Captian Mar-Vell was your friend," Jack raised an eyebrow, "And when did you become a captain?"

"A lot changed since we last saw each other, Sparrow," Carol glared at the pirate before smiling towards the others, "Anyways, I'm sorry if he gave you any sort of trouble."

"It's fine, nothing we can't handle," Canary reassured her, "And we're well aware of who you are, Carol. Along with the Guardians of the Galaxy; with Rocket and Groot."

"I am Groot." Groot waved over to him.

"Well, our reputation does come in handy every now and again," Rocket smirked before grumbling as Stitch crawled over to him, "Saves us time on these pointless introductions."

"Well, all the same," Captain Marvel nodded, "It's good to meet the rest of you." She then reassured the group, "I swear, we'll do everything in our power to bring you home."

"Yeah~" Arrow rubbed the back of his head, "About that..."

"What the flark?!" Rocket exclaimed. He started pushing buttons again. Only for the device to beep at him, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE NUMBER I'M TRYING TO DIAL DOESN'T EXIST?!"

"I am Groot?" Groot leaned in puzzled by his friend's antics.

"Yes, I'm dialing the right number!" Rocket snapped at Groot, "You think I wouldn't know how to contact our own ship?!" He groaned loudly in frustration, "This thing's busted!"

After a brief pause, Carol turned to the group, "We're on an alternate Earth, aren't we?"

"Yep," Plastic Man nodded.

Rocket blinked while in the middle of dismantling his communication device, "Say what now?"

"You seem strangely calm about all of this," Green Arrow stated.

"Eh, the Avengers deal with the Multiverse every now and again," Captain Marvel admitted before turning to some of the heroes, "So... the question is... how do you know about us if we're from another universe? Do we have a counterpart here too?"

"I know of a Captain Marvel in our universe," Diana admitted before turning to Dinah, "But I don't think it's necessary the same thing..."

"It's a long story, but in this universe, the Avengers, the Guardians, Sparrow, even Mando, and Stitch here..." Canary quickly explained, "...are all works of fiction here. You were trapped by tears in reality, only freed because of Sora."

Groot tilted his head, "I am Groot?"

"Us? Fictional?" Rocket raised an eyebrow before laughing, "Yeah! Right! Like some two-bit story writer could just come up with a story like mine! If you actually believe that, you're as nutty as that nutjob: Deadpool."

"Well, in our reality they did," Green Arrow stated, before shaking his head, "Anyways, we've got bigger things to worry about than proving that your lives are works of fiction in our universe as we are in the middle of a crisis here."

Captain Marvel raised an eyebrow, "What crisis?" Sora gestured to the destruction of the city around them and Brainiac's ship descending upon the city. Carol's and the two Guardians' eyes widened in horror, "Oh, that crisis?"

"I am Goot..."

"Yeah," Rocket agreed with the tree-like alien, "Whoever owns that ship is clearly compensating for something."

"Okay, get us up to speed," The Avenger turned to the others, "What's happening to this world?"

Diana quickly explained the past few weeks' events, about Brainiac, the League, and Sora coming into their universe and being their best shot of saving it. Rocket then finally spoke up, "So let me get this straight..." He pointed to Diana and Brainiac's ship, "You and your goodie two shoe buddies saw a creepy alien ship come down to your planet and tricked you all into a false peace treaty, he captures all of you and experiments on your friends to become his minions, with only you still free from his control, and the same big bad, by the way, is using multiversal technology bringing folks from our universe..." He then gestured to Sora, "...and you think this runt from our universe is your best shot of saving your world from being terraformed because he's the only one who can destroy the humans turned monster alien hybrids and free the folks trapped between our universe and yours." He crossed his arms, "How?"

Wonder Woman nodded to Sora as he stretched out his hand and summoned his Keyblade. Groot's eyes widened, "I am Groot!"

"Holy shit!" Rocket swore in shock.

Carol blinked in disbelief, "That's a Keyblade!"

Green Arrow turned to Canary, "Are we like the only people that don't know what a Keyblade was until Sora?"

Before she could respond, Jack whispered, "Truth be told, mates, I never heard of Keyblade until I met the lad as well."

Sora nodded as he put his Keyblade away, as he nodded, "Yeah... listen... I know a lot happened but if you guys could help that would be..."

"Oh, I'm in," Carol smiled, "Doesn't matter if it's my universe or not, I can't stand aside and allow good people to suffer." She then turned to the two Guardians, "I can't say the same for my friends though."

"Ah, I'm in too," Rocket stated as he put away his now dismantled communication device and pulled out a large gun from his back, "I don't like people who experiment on others to make weapons out of them."

Groot lifted his hand, "I am Groot."

"Groot says he's in too," The raccoon translated.

"Listen, I know for a fact we're not the only heroes from my world that was trapped between our two universes," Captian Marvel glanced to Wonder Woman, "Many of my friends, heroes from my Earth, got trapped in other portals as well."

"Who are we talking about here exactly?" Plastic Man wondered.

"I don't know who exactly," She admitted, "I just know that Strange, Wanda, Spider-Man, Blade and some of the X-Men and Avengers got caught between this as well. They'd help too if you can find them and free them."

"No problem," Sora smiled as he went into a relaxed position, "The more the merrier!"

Plastic Man then leaned towards the others, "Considering who were up against, I personally hope the Avengers include Thor and the Hulk."

"What's the plan?" Carol asked the group of heroes.

"We need to evacuate the people from Hob's Bay," The Amazon Princess explained, "Unfortunately, most of our team volunteered to be a distraction for Batman while we get the people out."

"But we'll need some heavy hitters incase we incounter Lantern," Hawkgirl stated.

"Guess we quilify," Carol smirked before slamming her fist into her palm, "Still, if this Batman is a smart as you say he is, he might not take the bait for an ambush."

"Perhaps not," Mando admitted before theorizing, "But it's likely tracies of who he was still reside within him. He might be more willing to take the bait if its something he would target before being controlled."

"And that would be criminals," Plastic Man realized, "So, out of people in our team, who would he most likely go after?"

After a moment of thinking, everyone slowly turned their heads to Jack. He tired looking behind him to see if there was anyone else behind him but unfortunately for him, there wasn't, "Oh, buggar!"

"Guess you're the bait," Rocket stated before shrugging, "Hey if you have the guts to screw over Carol in more ways than one, then you should have no problem distracting the guy in bat pajamas."

"I am Groot," The tree-like alien spoke up.

"So what if he's the most dangerous man alive," The raccoon alien glanced at his best friend, "I'd say screwing over Carol was suicide so I don't see how this situation is that much different!"

"You clearly never saw his getup," Jack stated in response.

"Sparrow, the way I see it, you either be a good bait and lead Batman to whoever volunteered to still him," Carol glared at him, "Or I put you three feet in front of him and claim you want to take him on yourself. What do you say?"

After a long pause, the pirate raised his finger, "I'm about it..."

"C'mon, Jack, you've got this," Sora encouraged him, "This plan resolves around your greatest strengths."

Everyone turned to the teenager dumbfounded, as Green Arrow asked what everyone was thinking, "And those strengths are...?"

"Running away and talking your way out of things," Sora answered with a smile.

After stroking his beard, Jack nodded to Sora, "You have a point there." He sighed, "Very well, since this plan won't work without Captain Jack Sparrow, I will do my part." He then leaned into the others, "Just make sure he doesn't kill me. I'd rather not be going back to Davvy Jones Locker, savvy?"

He then handed Sora his compass, as he told the Keyblade Weidler, "Just follow your heart, and this will guide you to what you seek."

As he walked to join the group of volunteers, Canary told the group, "We'll buy the time you need to stall Batman, just send up the single for us to pull back."

"Presuming Bruce hasn't broken each and every bone in our body by then," Oliver half-joked quietly.

The pirate blinked in shock, "What was that?"

"Nothing!" Oliver smirked, "You'll do great!"

"Just tell me we have an actual plan to take on the freakin' Batman," Plastman turned to the Mandalorian.

"I have a few ideas," Mando stated as he drew out his blaster...


The corrupted Dark Knight looked down to try to locate the survivors or any members of Lois's resistance. He had picked up the message between the Bibbo Bibbowski and the resistance. He had no doubt Wonder Woman, the rookie kid she seemed fond of, and other members of the resistance would try to save them. If he could locate one or the other, it would be the perfect way to convince- integrate Diana into Brainiac's cause, capture the boy for study, and eliminate the other resisters. He just needed a lead...

... that's when a stray bullet coming from a pistol no longer made in this period was fired and struck the building he stood on. He turned to the individual who fired the gun, when the same individual called out, "Hey, mate! Are you going to stand there sulking all night, or are you actually going to come here and do something?!"

"Sparrow," He growled.

While it has been ages since he's seen a Disney movie, he was well aware of who Captain Jack Sparrow was. A pirate. A criminal. He couldn't stand any criminal surviving Earth's transformation to New Colu surviving. Just as well, Sparrow could be the key to leading him to the others. He'd make him talk!

Just then, he descended up the pirate, causing his prey's eyes to widen in horror, "Buggar!"

With that, he started making a run for it, like all criminals and all who opposed Brainiac would at the sight of him...


Sora peeked around the building to see that Batman had taken the bait. Jack was leading him away. He smiled at the group who had stayed with him and gave them a nod, "His focus is on Jack."

"Good," Diana nodded as she told the team, "Sparrow and the others will do their part, it's time for us to do ours."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Rocket responded with an annoyed voice, "Find the survivors, save them, and knock some sense into the space cop Nova rip-off!"

Groot turned to the fellow Guardian, "I am Groot."

"So, what we're considered to come from a fictional universe, and in concept the Nova Corps is a rip-off of the Green Lantern Corps," The raccoon-like alien replied, "Doesn't make anything I said less true."

"Kinda does," Hawkgirl muttered to herself before turning back to Sora who held Jack's compass, "So, you think you can work that thing to find our survivors before Lantern does?"

Sora nodded as he opened his compass, closed his eyes, and wished with all of his heart that he wanted to save the survivors, and like so, the compass turned and pointed to his left. He then singled them, "They're this way! Come on!"

With that, he ran towards the direction of the hostages, as Wonder Woman, Hawkgril, Captain Marvel, Rocket, Groot, and Stitch all followed Sora to accomplish their objective. They just hoped the others could keep Batman busy long enough...


An hour earlier, Billy had seen many things since Brianiac invaded. Most of the Justice League taken over, monsters and aliens turn people into monster/alien hybrids, meet a new friend with a giant magic key, and many Disney characters come to life from another universe from Big Hero 6, The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Lilo & Stitch. Just when he thought he'd seen everything, he saw the same Disney Characters working with the heroes to take back his world.

He saw Cyborg from the Titans opening a Boom-Tube to pick up the hostages rescued by Sora. He saw the Penguin, hoping it was a wealthy Prince or Princess, to greet them personally. Only to be bounced on by Tigger who greeted the crime lord with his classic line, "Hello! I'm Tigger! T-I-double gah-"

"Oh, just get off already!" The Penguin complained as other characters of Winnie the Pooh entered the hall. Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore. Now they had the Pooh and friends too?! Which Disney characters don't exist in Sora's universe?

Billy witnessed Tigger giving Terrific the robot head of one of Riddler's bots. Seeing him smiling, the young boy didn't need the wisdom of Solomon to know that he had big ideas with that bot's head. Hope it was worth it.

Crowds of children eagerly went up to greet the newcomers, the secret champion of Shazam would have to greet them later. He wanted to know the situation with Sora before calling it a night. He ran towards the Sactumm of the Hall of Justice and saw Mrs. Gordon-Drake with Miss Lane around the Bat Computer, as the former declared, "And... that should be that..."

"So we now have all the data we need of the Heartless and Nobodies Sora faced before when he arrived in our universe," The Leader of the Resistance asked her.

"Along with all the heavy hitters he faced in the past," Oracle revealed, "It could be a good workout for our heroes that agreed to work with us. They all should be available in the training simulations from the Hall."

"Then our fighters should be well prepared against the majority against Brainiac's army, we can add any initial new breed as we go," The former reporter smiled before frowning, "It's the League that worries me."

"We'll cross the bridge when it comes to it," The redhead technician reassured her, "For now, I believe Wonder Woman and the others can figure out a way to help our fallen friends."

"I hope you're right," Lois sighed, "And we find a way soon. The only thing that prevents my dad from nuking this city is that ship around Brainiac's ship. If we can prove that there is a way to save the League, he might ease up on the trigger."

Billy walked over to the two, as the former reporter greeted him, "Oh, hey Billy, didn't realize you were still up. How are you?"

"I'm fine," He admitted, "I just wanted to let you know that Sora and Wonder Woman managed to rescue some of the hostages. It's the characters from Winnie the Pooh."

"Figures. They've been around even before joining the Dinsey franchise," Barabra smiled before lightly joking, "We just need to be careful of our honey and make sure Pooh doesn't eat it all."

Lois lightly chuckled, "Yeah... I don't think that bear knows the meaning of a small smackeral." She then turned to Billy, "If you're worried about Sora, he's fine, he's with Wonder Woman and if the hostages just arrived here, then that means he's on his way to help the rest of our current squad out there."

That eased Billy up before something pinged on the Bat Computer as files were uploaded to the device, "What's that?"

"It doesn't look like it was just data about the Heartless and Nobodies have on his phone," Mrs Drake admitted, "It looks like everything that happened to Sora the past few years has been chronicled on this device too."

"Really now?" Lois blinked, the reporter side of her taking over.

Oracle turned to her, "Would you like to check it out?"

The former reporter thought about it before answering, "Maybe later. I need to inform the people still out there of what's been happening." She then stood up and pulled out her iPhone, "Download the journals to my phone when you can, I'd like to know the full story about our young hero but don't show it to anyone else, I'd like Sora's permission before revealing it to the others."

"Of course," The hacker nodded as she already was doing so.

As the Commander walked away to give her live report, Billy turned to the other woman, "Guess I should turn in as well. Good night, Mrs Drake."

"Good night..." Oracle smiled back as Billy turned away, "... Captain..."

Billy froze for a second. What did she just say? D-did... did she know he was...


"Buggar, buggar, buggar!" Jack panicked as he ran towards the building where he was told to go... knowing Batman was gaining on him. He had heard the stories from the Penguin's men about what he was like before Brainiac got a hold of him. He did not want to see what he was like now!

While the pirate was never the religious type, he was praying for his life now. He hasn't been this scared since he received the black spot. Since Davvy Jones and his pet Kraken. At least, they were six feet under now.

He entered the building he was told to go, to avoid any grates, vents, and gargoyles around him. However, he eventually reached a dead end by a wall. His eyes widened, "Oh, buggar!"

He turned back around and his eyes widened as Batman was already behind him. He yelped, "Bloody hell, mate! Someone should put a bell on you!"

Batman's eyes narrowed behind his mask, "If you don't want the last moments of your life to be in agonizing pain, you'll tell me all you know!"

"Of course," Jack smiled nervously, "I know two, and two is four, King George the Second is the current King of England on my world..." Batman knew he was trying to fast-talk him and slowly approached him before the pirate lightly smirked, "...and I know... I lead you straight to an ambush, mate!"

Batman stopped in a moment, likely mentally pounding if he was actually telling the truth... when Plastic Man wrapped his arms around the World's Greatest Detective, pulled out of the room, and threw him into the air. Just then, Mando flew down and tackled the Dark Knight back to the ground.

Batman managed to kick the armored warrior off of him before getting back on his feet. Just then, he realized he was surrounded by the Mandalorian, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Plastic Man, and Captain Jack Sparrow. Oliver drew an arrow and aimed it at his opponent, "Bruce, if you're still in there, then stay down. We don't want to hurt ya."

"But we will stop you if we have to," Mando spoke as he drew out his own blaster.

"You'll try," Batman growled as he tightened his fists, "And you'll fail!"

With that, he threw a batarang to knock the Mando's blaster out of his hand, and an ice grenade at Plastic Man freezing him in place. The latter complained, "N-n-no... f-f-fair..."

Batman then charged at the group as Black Canary screamed at him...


Meanwhile, Sora and the others walked alongside the docks. As Jack's compass pointed the way, he whispered to the others, "I think we're close."

"How close are we talking about?" Carol asked the boy.

When he shrugged, "I'm not sure... guess we have to keep moving until we find them..." Stitch decided to play a part as he closed his eyes before he opened them again as they turned green. Unaware of this Sora asked, "By the way, what did Rocket mean screw Carol more than once? Did he mess with you more than once..."

The half-kree winced and blushed, "Trust me, Sora, you don't want to know." She then glared at Rocekt, "Rocket! You better not tell him! He really doesn't want to know!"

"Hey, it's a fair question," The raccoon argued without care, "Besides, this conversation might be good for him. He might never had 'the talk.'"

"What talk?" Sora blinked.

"You see?"

The alien experiment scanned the buildings around them, as the conversation continued Diana asked the spikey hair in concern, "Uh... Sora... did anyone tell about the... um... birds and bees? Where most babies come from?"

"Ugh, don't get me started," Sora groaned, "I already had this conversation with Donald and Goofy. The worst thing is, I had to get it explained twice because I had difficulty understanding what Donald was saying... Goofy surprisingly did a good job of explaining it to me though. But I rather not want to have that conversation again."

Diana sighed in relief as she didn't need to give him 'the talk' while Groot glanced at Rocket, "I am Groot."

"Yeah, I guess I stand corrected." Rocket admitted, "He does get it."

"But what does that have anything to do with-" Sora continued when soon enough, Experiment 626 spotted a small shack filled with heat signatures.

Blinking back to their natural black color, Stitch called out to the others, "Ikata!" Everyone turned to him puzzled, as Stich pointed to the shack, "Found them!"

"You did?!" Everyone exclaimed in shock as Diana asked, "Where?!"

Stitch gestured for them to follow him as he led them toward the shack, as they did Captain Marvel warned the raccoon-like alien, "I mean it! Not one word to Sora."

As they followed the blue fluffy alien, Groot stated, "I am Groot!"

Diana glanced toward the tree, before back at Rocekt, "Why does he keep saying that?"

"Yeah, he don't know talkin' good like me and you," The small Guardian told the Amazon Princess, "...so his vocabulistics is limited to "I" and "am" and "Groot," exclusively in that order." He then stated, "By the way, he says he likes your hair."

"Oh, um, thank you," She nodded to the tree-like alien.

Soon enough, they were all gathered in the shack, as Hawkgirl turned to the alien experiment, "They're in there?"

"Ih!" Stitch nodded as he once again pointed to the shack.

"He may be right," Sora smiled as he looked at the compass as it pointed toward the shack, "Jack's compass also says they're in there."

Diana approached the door and knocked on it, before they heard a gun load, "Unless you want to be pumped full of lead, you better identify yourself!"

"Bibbo," The Princess of Themysica called out to the sailor, "It's me."

After a moment of silence, they heard the door unlock as a middle-aged man in a traditional sailor jacket and hat opened the door with his shotgun at the ready. His eyes widened in relief, "Wonder Woman..." Lowering it, he smiled, "You look like your still you! You with Lane?"

"Yes," Diana smiled back, before gesturing towards the others, "We're here to get you all safely towards the Hall."

"You got my message," Bibbo smiled at that before calling out to the others, "It's okay, everyone. Help has arrived."

Just then people of all ages, the older ones with weapons of their own in hand, smiled in relief as they immediately thanked their rescuers. Some of the children stared at the characters from another universe in awe. Carol gave them a wink while Groot knelt down to a little girl who grew a flower in his palm and offered it to her, who happily accepted it. Bibbo turned to the group, "Lane sent us a codded message you were bringing characters from Disney with ya to help but I wasn't sure I heard her right. Guess, I did." He then turned to Sora, "Guess you must be Sora. Any friend of Lane or the League is a friend of mine."

Sora chuckled as he went into a relaxed position, as Diana told the sailor, "We'll get you all to safety, but first we have to let our friends keeping Batman busy know we found you."

"Well, well, well...!" Said a booming voice-heighted voice.

Carol narrowed her eyes, "We've got company!"

Hawkgirl's eyes widened, "John..."

Everyone turned to face in horror, as the corrupted Green Lantern flew above them, constructing a giant green body of himself towering over all of them. Just like when Sora witnessed him taking on the Flash. The Lantern grinned wickedly, "And here I was worried I'd have to track you all down! Break through that shield of yours in the Hall of Justice to get you all out! And yet, here you all are with even more insurgents! Must be my lucky day!"

"Lantern!" Diana called out to her teammate while drawing out her shield, "You're not yourself! Please stay down and let us help you!"

"Diana, Diana," The brainwashed member of the League shook his head, "Integration is the best thing that ever happened to the League! Sure! It hurts at first, but it is so worth it!" He gestured to the world around them, "Just look at it, our world has always been divided against each other. When we formed the League, we done very little to change things! Now we can finally bring order to this world! To New Colu!" He then grinned, "Flash is now on board as well!" Diana's eyes widened in horror, "Once you join us, the whole gang will be back together again!"

Tearings falling from her eyes, Hawkgirl stepped forward, setting down her mace and removing her mask, "John..."

The Lantern blinked, "Sheyra?"

Flying towards the Lantern, for the first time since Sora met her, she seemed... vulnerable. Did she have feelings for Green Lantern, he heard the Lantern chuckle, "Today's just full of surprises."

Realizing she was keeping busy, Sora leaned towards Bibbo, "Excuse me, have you seen any tears in reality blue or red?"

"A couple of 'em, sure," The sailor admitted while tightening his grip on his gun before wondering, "Why?"

"My powers can get access to them give me new powers or get us back up," Sora whispered to him.

"Really?" Bilbo blinked in shock as Sora nodded, "Why didn't you say so? We'll get ya to 'em." He gestured inside, "One's inside, and I saw another just a block from here." He then turned to one of the armed men, "Jones, can you show our new friend."

"I can," A dark-skinned bald man nodded as he pulled out a pistol, and gestured towards Sora, "Follow me."

"The rest of us will protect the survivors and keep Lantern busy," Carol told Sora while the others prepared for a fight.

As Sora followed Jones, Hawkgirl pleaded to the Lantern, "John, if you're still in there, then I know you hate what Brainiac did to you. What he's making you do. I also know if our position were reversed you'd at least try to reach me before doing whatever you had to protect Earth." Tears fell from her face, "You have one of the strongest wills I know, out of all the League, I believe you can beat this. I ask you... No, I beg you not to do this. Fight Brainiac's control over you. Let us help you. I... I love you, John, I always will."

"Love won't save the world, Sherya," Lantern shook his head, "Only Brainiac can do that... but if you surender willing, I can convince Brainiac to convert you as well. We can still be together."

"John..." Hawkgirl tried to plead before Carol flew next to her with Stitch on her back.

"I'd listen to your girlfriend if I were you, Lantern," Captain Marvel warned him, "You're not yourself. So, either you come with us willingly or we're going to have to knock some sense into you!"

With that declaration, she slammed his fist into her palm and she started glowing brighter. Green Lantern smirked, "Carol Danvers. Captain Marvel. One of the MCU's failed projects. You really think you can take me on?"

Carol glared at him while Diana glanced at the sailor, "They're not that bad, are they?"

"Eh, not bad, not great either," Bibbo admitted, "Still, liked her films better than the Eternals movie a while back."

"What about ours?" Rocket wondered.

"Actually, all the Guardian of the Galaxy movies are golden," The sailor answered.

"Sweet," The raccoon-like alien grinned, "You hear that, Groot?"

"I am Groot," The tree nodded.

"Oh, we should so watch 'em when this is over," Rocket agreed.

As Sora followed Jones to the red tear in the back, he could still hear the conversation going on outside. Carol retorted, "Oh, I know we can!"

"I wouldn't be too sure of that," Lantern glanced down to the heroes with her, "Not with this little rag team of yours." He then turned to them, "Any last words?"


Meanwhile, on Brainiac's Skull Ship, the alien invader continued to search the multiverse of Brainiac of who Sora was, before noticing what Lantern was doing on one of the screens. He saw a little blue-like creature climb on the glowing woman's shoulder as he cleared his throat. Interested of what the creature was he put the audio on...


With that, Stitch grinned as he told the corrupted hero, "Meega nala kweesta!"

Now, to those on Earth, most would have assumed that was a made-up language made specifically for the movie, but apparently the ring could translate it, because Lantern began to actually gage. Groot gasped in horror, "I am Groot!"

"Yeah," Rocket nodded in agreement, his face turned green, "...and I thought I had a mouth!"


At the same time, Brainiac actually started vomiting on the floor as he knew what that meant. He gasped, "So... naughty..."


"Ah, ha ha ha ha ha!" Stitch proceeded to laugh like a maniac.

"Not that..." Lantern gasped after pulling himself back together, "...was just messed up!"

"Wait, does that mean... Disney actually came up with a legitimate alien swear word," Bibbo blinked in shock.

Diana turned to him in concern, "What did he say?"

"Yeah," Rocket slowly nodded, "You don't want that translated."

"Right, I'm gonna skin ya alive just for that," Lantern glared at Stitch before Captain Marvel charged at him, breaking his giant construct.

With her friend distracted, "Cyborg! We have the survivors! But we've got company! We need an immediate evac!"

"Already on it," Cyborg replied in the coms, "Just try to keep them busy!"

Just then, more Heartless and Nobodies appeared to aid the Lantern. Diana unsheathed her sword before a large gush of red winds pushed the enemy back. The Amazon blinked, "Red Tornado?"

But when she turned around, she didn't see Red Tornado, but Sora who had aimed his Keyblade at the enemy as the red tear vanished. Smiling, it would appear the Key Bearer had received the android's powers. Rocket loaded his guns as he turned to the Amazon, "Okay, Groot and I can keep the monsters busy! You go help Carol, the bird lady, and the blue-furred freak with the mouth! I doubt they can take him on alone!"

Meanwhile, Diana watched as both John Stweart and Carol Danvers were trading blows with each other. Stitch had leaped on Lantern's head and covered his eyes. He struggled to get him off, "Grrrr... Get... off... of... me!"

"Okay," Stitch did as Captain Marvel punched him. The alien experiment leaped on Carol's shoulder as she charged at the Green Lantern. The corrupted hero constructed a giant badminton racket and smacked two flying back.

He was about to pressure them, when Hawkgirl smacked him with her mace, "John! Don't!"

He then turned his ring toward the Thanagarian and fired a green blast at her, Diana flew up and deflected the blast, "Don't make us do this, John!"

"Already you freaks of nature," One of the Heartless told the two Guardians defending the survivors, "Prepare to join us or suffer the consequences!"

Groot grew in size as he glared at the enemy, "I AM GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!"

"Take them," A Nobody ordered as the alien hybrids charged at the survivors.

Rocket fired everything he had at them while Groot swatted the ones he missed the two let out a war cry. The armed survivors also shot at the enemy, Sora wanted to join them when Jones stopped him, "Wait, young one, I know you wish to help them, but if we are to survive this encounter, you must free those trapped inside the other crack! One of them in particular could be our best chance of saving these people and surviving this conflict!"

Sora blinked in shock, did Jones know who was trapped in the portal? He couldn't make out who was in there until he already freed them! How could this guy know?! He gestured towards the back door exit, "This way quickly!"

Regardless, Sora indeed followed Jones as they quickly ran to the docks. At the same time, Carol had recovered and threw Stitch directly toward the Lantern. The former rolled into a ball and struck him in the head throwing him off balance. Dianan and Shyera used this opportunity to fly and forced the Lantern of Sector 2814 to the waters below.

Stitch had landed on the docks but dared not to reengage the fight. Carol flew by the blue alien, "Uh... why aren't you going in there to help?"

"Dunga haga blabla," Stitch pointed to the water in concern.

While Carol was unfamiliar with the language, she quickly put two and two together, "Ah, can't swim, huh?" Stitch nodded in confirmation, as she sighed and nodded in understanding, "That's fine... just do what you can when the resurface."

Suddenly, the water began to glow green as Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl were blasted out of the water. John resurfaced as well and reconstructed his giant form. He also constructed a giant minigun... and aimed it at the survivors.

The heroes' eyes widened as they charged to inspect the attack. The Lantern fired, thankfully, Groot noticed the sudden attack and grew giant branches to defend himself, Rocket, and the survivors. It wouldn't last long but it did buy Stitch and Carol enough time to take the bullets themselves.

John continued to attack the heroes when he noticed something was off, and saw Sora and another survivor running across the docks. The corrupt Lantern smirked, "And where to think you're going!"

The minigun construct vanished and he turned his run on Sora. Without hesitation, Carol flew towards Sora and the survivor... just as Lantern shot out a beam of light. The beam would have struck the two dead on if Captain Marvel hadn't taken the hit instead.

The beam didn't harm her though, to everyone's shock she absorbed the beam of the Green Lantern charging her up. She then glanced at Jones and Sora, "Keep going! We've got this guy!"

She then blasted John back with his own power, pushing him back slightly. A recovered Wonder Woman flew back in and slammed her shield into the giant construct's face. Hawkgirl flew with mace in hand and stuck against the giant construct. Carol flew in and struck against the Lantern as Diana told the others, "Don't give him a chance to think!"

"Go!" Jones told the Key Bearer as Heartless and Nobodies appeared to cut them off. Sora charged in, Keyblade in hand, struck down each monster as Jones, fired his pistol to shoot at the coming creatures of darkness, giving Sora a little elbow room.

The two carved their way through the docks before they witnessed Diana getting knocked down hard. Sora called her out in concern, "Diana!"

He ran over to her while Jones provided cover. The spiky-haired teen whispered to himself, "Hope I have enough strength for this!" He then raised his Keyblade, "HEAL!"

Green light shined from the tip of his blade and the same green light covered Diana, as she seemed to recover quickly, she looked up to Sora smiling in appreciation, "Thank you..."

Just then there was a loud commotion coming from the shack. The three turned in horror to see Lantern going after the survivors as he tried to plow them all down with a massive locomotive. Groot, Stitch, and Captain Marvel combined their strength to keep it back. Rocket and Hawkgirl did everything they could to break through John's giant construct. However, it didn't look like they were going to break through in time, and the survivors were going to pay the prince. Sora's eyes widened, "We've gotta do something!"

Before he could run back, Jones stopped him, "If you wish to help, you must reach the portal! It's just another mile from here!" He pointed to where it was, both the Amazon and Key Bearer turned and saw it on the top of a building from the docks. There was a large way of monsters between them and the portal. Dropping his pistol, Jones told the two of them, "I will keep the Lantern busy!"

"Uh... what?" Sora blinked as the man ran towards the giant Green Lantern. The spiky-haired teen turned into the founding member of the League, "You heard that too, right?"

"Unfortunately, I don't believe you misheard him," She admitted in horror before reaching out to the man, "Wait, don-"

That's when the man jumped off the docks, flew toward the Lantern, and changed into a green dragon-like creature with multiple arms. The two blinked as the "man," once known as Jones, phased through the giant construct and stuck the man inside making him lose focus causing the train to vanish. Stunned by this new coming, the saw the green creature deliver several more hits before Green Lantern back at him and constructed a green sword to slash at him only for it to pass through as well.

Sora lifted a finger as Diana nodded, "Yes, Sora, we all saw what Jones became..." He lowered his finger as they saw Captain Marvel and Hawkgirl fly in to assist their new ally, the former blasting a photon beam at the Lantern who created a shield to protect himself from the attack before knocking her back and constructing a hammer, and striking the newcomer with it. Only for Hawkgirl to get a hit in. The Amazon Princess turned back to Sora, "They won't be able to keep John at bay for long. He'll find a way to adapt, whoever's in this portal might be our only shot at keeping everyone alive!"

"Yeah," Sora nodded in agreement before turning to the small army of Heartless and Nobodies between them and the portal, "We just need to get through that. Normally, it wouldn't be too much trouble but..."

"...but it's too much of a distraction," Diana agreed, "We need a strategy!"

Sora thought for a moment before an idea sparked, he turned to Wonder Woman, "Could you throw me to the portal?"

"..." She blinked turning back to the teen, slightly concerned, "I could but can you stick the landing?"

"Oh, please that's nothing..." Sora reassured her, before giving her a serious look, "I once fell from a crashing GummiShip from a world's atmosphere." The Amazon blinked again in shock as he admitted, "It wasn't fun but I was up fighting a hungry leopard minutes later."

Blinking once more, she realized, "Yeah, you should be fine then..." Picking up Sora, she asked him, "You ready?"

"Nope!" He admitted, "But let's do this!"

She then through Sora directly towards the portal before drawing out her sword and went to reengage her friend, mentally praying that the boy would be okay. It didn't help that, said boy was screaming as he flew towards the portal. A few flying Heartless attempted to intercept him, but Sora cut through them, but doing so, made him realize he wasn't going to reach his goal. With one final attempt to help his friends, he trusted his Keyblade forward as light swirled around the Keybalde and fired a beam of light that struck the portal. He would have crashed until the building below if a large muscly arm hadn't caught him from a shirt. A familiar voice greeted him, "Hey, Sora, I thought I saw you falling out of the sky again! You never cease to amaze me!"

Sora blinked and looked up to see a familiar face as well. He couldn't believe it. It was...


Meanwhile, John was starting to recover when Diana joined the fight, slamming her shield into John. Carol and Jones flew in to assight with a combined punch which sent the Lantern to the ocean waters below. However, he stopped himself before he could hit the water, he regained control over his flight. He then reconstructed his giant construct of himself and sent a wave of green energy that knocked three of the four off balance and fell towards the docks. Captain Marvel was able to absorb the attack but was now on her own as she charged at the Lantern at full speed only to be knocked aside by a giant green construct of a bat. The heroes quickly recovered only to be swarmed by more Heartless.

Jones looked like he was ready for anything when several of the Heartless were lit with magic fire. The creature's red eyes widened as he backed away in fear of the flames. John towered over all of them as Stitch growled at him. His eyes narrowed, "I didn't want to have to do this, but if you won't join Brainiac then I can't let any of you threaten his vision for the world."

Raising his ring, he constructed a giant meteor and threatened to crush them all. Most of the heroes could survive the attack, but the survivors wouldn't stand a chance. Hawkgirl gave one final plead to the corrupted Lantern, "John! Don't!"

"I'm sorry, Sherya..." John looked at her for the first time with sympathy in his eyes, "I really wanted you to join us!"

He then threw the meteor over all of them. Acting quickly, Groot attempted to shield all of them with his branches, "I... AM..." Suddenly, the meator was smashed to bits by an unseen force causing everyone to blink in shock, "...Groot?"

Suddenly, a figure landed in front of the group, sending many Heartless and Nobodes back by his mere presence. That's when everyone finally had a good look at their savior. He had strawberry-blond hair and blue eyes and wore a brown sweatband on his head. He was handsome, robust, and looked just as masculine as Superman. He also wore a brown cuirass with a dark brown belt, brown wristbands, matching warrior sandals, and a blue cape. He turned to group with a reassuring smile, "Someone call for a True Hero?"

Everyone blinked in shock of this new hero, Carol lightly smirked, "He's cute... Anyone know who he is?'

"Good glory..." Bibbo blinked, "Isn't that...?"

"Hercules..." One of the children stared in awe.

Diana turned to the child in shock. That was Hercules? The one from Sora's universe? That's when one of the young women, deeply attracted to this new hero, "Honey, I think you mean... Hunk-cules!"

"Well, well, well... as I live and breathe," Lantern grinned, "The mighty Hercules! I remember watching your movie when I was younger! Loved every moment of it, never thought I'd actually have to kill you along the way!"

"And I know who you are," The son of Zeus approached the Lantern, "Sora told me the short version of what happened. You were a hero here, but this Brainic tricked you and your friends, and now... he's made you his puppet." He looked at him with sympathy, "I'm sorry for what he did to you and your friends, but I'm not going to let you hurt these people." He then clutched his hands into fists, "So, if you're really still in there, back away, or I show you what it means when you mess with a True Hero."

Lantern merely laughed as the others began thinking of what to do next. Groot looked around and spotted a CD track connected to all the stereos by the docks. Interested, he walked on over to it and spotted a soundtrack labeled, 'We Love Disney.' At the same time, Lantern replied to the True Hero's statement, "I know what happened. You gave up your godhood for your woman. Mere strength alone can't defeat me."

He then reconstructed a locomotive and had it charging at the survivors again. Hercules managed to glow brightly as he channeled a ball of light and smacked it at the train. The ball smashed through the construction and slammed into the Green Lantern, stunned, he turned back to the strong man. Hercules smirked, "Yeah, whatever a movie is... it clearly hasn't shown all my feats!"

Groot took out the disc and placed it into the CD player, Rocket glanced at him, "Groot, what are you doin'?!"

"I am Groot."

"Music?!" He exclaimed quietly before groaning, "You and Quill have been hanging out too much." He then told his fellow Guardian, "Groot, Quill ain't here now, we don't have to play music in every battle! Besides their music could be very different from the kind Quill listens to! Absolute trash! Don't play the-" But Groot had already pushed in the disc and pressed the play button. The raccoon-like alien sighed, "Why do I even bother?"

"Hercules~ Hercules~"

The heroes of the two worlds stared at each other, each one waiting to see who would make the next move. Lantern then created a construct of a sword and charged at Herc, who drew out his own sword and clashed with his.

"Bless my soul~ Herc was on a roll~"

Hercules managed to push Lantern away, as Sora called out to the other heroes, "Hey, guys!" Diana and the others looked up to Sora and stared in away as he, a young woman in a purple Ancient Greece dress, and a satyr rode on a pegasus, "I brought really good backup!"

"Person of the week in ev'ry Greek opinion poll~"

Diana smiled and waved to the boy as the Green Lantern fired balls of light toward the survivors only for Hercules to use his weapon as a bat knocking the orbs back at the brainwashed Justice Leaguer.

"What a pro~ Herc could stop a show~ Point him at a monster and you're talking SRO~"

Lantern decided to change tactics and used his ring to create giant constructs of Greek Sea Monsters, every survivor was terrified but the heroes stood their ground as the winged horse landed beside them. The satyr called out, "You got this, champ!"

"He was a no-one~ A Zero, Zero~"

Herc bent his sword as it began to glow as he threw it like a boomerang, and it broke through each of the constructs much to the Lantern's shock. The young woman turned to the woman, "Spikey here mentioned something about an evac. How's that coming along?"

"Now he's a honcho~ He's a Hero~"

Diana blinked, she had almost forgotten, she went for her communication device, "Cyborg? How's that Boom-Tube coming along?"

"Sorry, Diana," Victor apologized to her and the others, "Brainiac managed to figure out what were doing and is trying to lock me out. I just finished the security protocols to block him out with Cid's help. Opening a Boom-Tube to ya now!"

"Here was a kid with his act down pat~"

Herc straightened out his weapon before seething it, and leaped on the white and blue feathered winged horse, as he flew towards his opponent, and the Lantern created a giant construct of himself again... only for Herc to get into hitting range which knocked the construct back.

"From Zero to Hero~ In no time flat~ Zero to Hero~ Just like that~"

A Boom-Tube opened up behind the survivors, as Rocket told the group, "Alright, Bibbo! Now's yer chance to get everyone out of here! We'll keep the brainwashed space cop busy!"

"You heard him," Bibbo exclaimed as he gestured to the portal, "Let's get out of here!"

"When he smiled~ The girls went wild with~ Oohs and Aahs~"

As the evacuation began, Carol turned to the fight between Hercules and the Green Lantern, "C'mon, ladies! We can't let the pretty boy have all the fun!"

With that, she, Diana, and Hawkgirl flew towards the battle, as the son of Zeus knocked the giant construct's teeth off.

"And they slapped his face~ On ev'ry vase~ On every vahse~"

The Lantern within the construct, quickly recovered as he then created a giant minigun and started to shoot at the demigod. Herc rode his mighty steed, brave through knocking the bullets away but received additional backup from Diana who deflected the bullets with her gantlets. Blinking in shock, he gave a nod to her in gratitude.

"From appearance fees and royalties~ Our Herc had cash to burn~"

While spectacle of him, even after Sora's explanation of him, she returned the nod. Their goals are aligned for now. They then turned their attention back to the Lantern as Groot wrapped his branches around the giant construct's legs.

"Now nouveau riche and famous~ He could tell you what the Greecizns earn~"

"I AM GROOT!" Groot exclaimed as he pulled the construct to the waters as the flying heroes dived in to strike their fallen friend. At the same time, Heartless and Nobides recovered and attempted to prevent the survivors' escape. Sora, Rocket, and Stitch were there to keep them at bay as a young Greek woman aided Bibbo with the evacuation.

"Say Amen~ There he goes again~"

Carol weakened the damaged construct with a proton blast as Hercules broke through the construct. Diana then wrapped him around with her golden lasso around the Lantern and threw him towards Sheryra.

"Sweet and undefeated~ And an awesome 10 for 10~"

While it broke her heart to do this, she slammed her mace at him but it wasn't too hard, as the Lantern quickly recovered from the attack. He was about to blast her with his ring when Herc leaped off his pegasus and tackled him back toward the Earth.

"Folks lined up~ Just to watch him flex~

The satyr was trying to keep the fire Heartless away from the down green alien, thankfully, Sora was also there as he used the red winds to blow out the flames of Heartless. The satyr gave Sora a grateful look, "Good to see ya again, kid."

"Good to see you again, Phil," The Keyblade Weider smiled as Hercules and Lantern crashed by the docks.

"And this perfect package~ Packed a pair of pretty pecs~"

Hercules wrestled with the Green Lantern, each trying to overwhelm the other. The former headbutted the latter, but he shielded himself unaware that Stitch was behind him.

"Hercie, he comes~ He sees~ He conquers~"

"YEEEHHHHHAAAAAA!" Stitch cheered as he leaped on the Lantern's head blinding him. Diana flew to Herc's side and attempted to remove the power ring from her friend's finger.

"Honey, the crowds were going bonkers~"

Before she could though, Lantern let out of burst of green light knocking them all off him. Stitch would have crashed into the water if Herc had not caught him and thrown him back at the brainwashed hero.

"He showed the moxie brains, and spunk~"

Lantern's eyes widened as the little blue alien slammed into his stomach, crashing him through a building. As a result, a green question mark trophy fell on the ground. Stitch stared at it in awe.

"From Zero to Hero~ A major hunk~"

Diana slowly recovered, Hercules helped her to her feet, "You alright?"

"I'll live," She nodded in gratitude, "Thank you."

"Zero to Hero~ And who'da thunk~"

Just then, they witnessed the Lantern recovering, he glared at them and prepared to attack them when Sora came in swinging Keyblade at him.

"Who put the glad in gladiator~? HERCULES~"

Sora's blade slammed into Lantern followed by the recovered green creature, punching as the Lantern created sharp constructs at starting swinging widely. The teen blocked the green axe while Jones phased through the other as Hercules charged in grabbed John and threw him back to the ocean.

"Whose daring deeds are great theater~? HERCULES~"

The Green Lantern skipped across the surface of the water before Carol slammed her feet into him, knocking him into the blue waters. Hercules then charged up more orbs of light for when he resurfaced as Sora went into position.

"Is he bold?~ No one braver~"

Diana saw what Sora and Herc were planning and raised her shield to do the same.

"Is he sweet~ Our favorite flavor~"

Just then, John Stewart emerged from salty waters with a giant green fist, punching Carol, catching her with a giant hand, and throwing her back towards the docks. Hawkgril flew in to catch her before she hit the side of a building. Sora and Diana slammed Hercules's glowing orbs at Lantern. He managed to avoid the first but got hit by the other.

"Hercules~ Hercules~ Hercules~ Hercules~ Hercules~ Hercules~"

Just then, the last survivor leaped inside the portal, Bibbo turned to the Greek woman, "That's everyone! You can tell your boyfriend and the other heroes that they can pull back."

She nodded before calling out, "Hercules! Sora! That's everyone! We can pull back now!"

"We've got friends keeping someone else occupied," Sora turned to his friend from Olympus, "I'm going to send a signal so they can retreat too!"

Seeing the Lantern recovering, Herc smiled and nodded, "Go ahead! We'll keep him busy!"

Sora smiled as he ran over, as Lantern stared launching balls of light at him. Unseething his sword, he smacked the balls of light right back at him.

"Bless my soul~ Herc was on a roll~"

Sora raised his Keyblade in the sky as he exclaimed, "Fira!"

Magic fire combined with his new green flames launched in the sky. Singaling the others holdinf off Batman. Meanwhile, John created more constructs of monsters as the heroes fought as Bibbo, the woman, Phil, and the pegasus entered the portal.

"Undefeated~"

Sora joined the others slashing down a green monster construct's head, as Groot shielded him. Diana and Herc made quick work of the others.

"Riding high~ And the nicest guy~"

Making a new construct of a chainsaw, John charged at the heroes as Stitch and Rocket were the next to enter the Boom-Tube. Followed by Captain Marvel and Hawkgirl. Diana blocked the strike with her shield as Herc kicked him back.

"Not conceited~"

Sora then launched a wave of ice at that Lantern, nodding to Groot and Jones to enter the portal. As the two aliens did so, John flew over Sora's attack.

"He was a nothin'! A Zero, Zero!"

Herc lifted up the ice and threw it at Green Lantern, forcing the corrupted hero to create a shield to block the massive check of ice. The impact blinded John in a mist. Diana grabbed Sora by the shoulder, "We did what we could. Let's go!"

"Now he's a honcho! He's a Hero!"

"Go ahead, Sora, I'll be right behind you," Herc smirked as Lantern tried to crush him with a large robot. Keyword: try. Hercules easily stopped the consrtuct of the machine with one hand.

"He hit the heights at breakneck speed~ From Zero to Hero~"

As Herc easily pushed the construct back at Lantern, while Diana and Sora dashed to the Boom Tube.

"Herc is a hero~"

Herc then performed a bunch of backflips toward the portal as John was recovering. He stared in anger as Herc landed on his feet as he entered the Boom-Tube and his song began to conclude.

"NOW HE'S A HEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRROOOOOOOO~ OOOOOOOHHHHH~ YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHH~"

Herc gave him a trademark wink as the Boom-Tube began to close, Lantern attempted to reach the portal before that happened, "NO!"

"Yes indeed!"

By the time he reached where Herc was, the portal closed. Both the survivors and resistance had escaped. In anger, he destroyed the CD player before it could play the next song. After taking several deep breaths, he muttered to himself, "Hope Batman doesn't find out about this."


Earlier that evening, Batman tucked and rolled to avoid Mando's flame thrower, before swatting aside one of Green Arrow's arrows. He charged at the archer who swung his bow at him. The Dark Knight dodged the hit from the boy and struck him in the shoulder twice, dislocating the emerald archer's arm. Thankfully, Canary was there to keep the deadliest man alive at bay, with the Mandalorian to assist her. As skilled as Dinah was as battle-hardened as Din Dijian was, they both knew they could only last so long against Batman.

Jack Sparrow remained on the sidelines as he cheered on the others, "Get 'm mates, you nearly got him I just know it!"

A frozen Plastic Man, who had been pelted with ice grenades since the fight started glancing at the pirate, "Ain'tcha gonna help us."

"I am helping my stretching icy friend," The pirate captain smiled before gesturing to the window, "Someone needs to keep an eye out for the signal, so we can all run away together!"

"Oh, that's bull," Oliver narrowed his eyes and grunted, "You just don't want to be in the fight period."

"Hush," Sparrow lifted a finger as he glanced to the window, "I'm waiting for the signal."

Oliver sighed, as he muttered to him, pulling out one of his arrows, "Next time we need an outlaw, I'm going to suggest Rocket. He would've been more helpful."

As he placed the arrow in his mouth, he tried to relocate his shoulder, causing him to muffle in pain. At the same time, Batman knocked Mando to the ground before refocusing his attention on Black Canary. However, Mando quickly recovered and fired a wire that wrapped around the brainwashed billionaire's legs. He then focused him to the ground before he could react. Dinah attempted to use this opportunity to knock out the Batman but her opponent rolled out of the way before she could lay the blow. Pulling out a batarang, Bruce cut the wire and threw the sharp projectile at the beskar armor warrior, who rolled out of the way as it hit the ground harmlessly. Just then, an arrow struck Bruce with a taser on the end of it. He grunted, but his armor protected him from doing any more damage than that. The two glanced at the man who fired the arrow, as he asked, "How much longer do we need to keep this up?"

"As long as it takes," Canary stated.

That's when Jack something launched into the sky from a distance, an explosion of green flames. He brightened up, "That's it! That's the signal!" He turned to the others confronting Batman, "We can go!"

"Great, we just need to lose the Batman," Oliver kept his eyes on the Dark Knight as he stalked them, "Any bright ideas of how to do that?"

Suddenly, they all heard gunshots from a distance sniper, which broke through the case and struck Batman in the chest knocking him back. Blinking in shock, everyone turned to Sparrow, who shrugged, "Don't look at me, that wasn't me."

Not so long after, a canister was also shot through the window and when it landed, blinded the room with smoke. Mando glanced to the others, "Someone's covering our escape..." He turned to Plastic Man and used his flame thrower to unthaw him quickly, "We need to move quickly before he recovers."

"Wait, is he or she one of ours or someone Sora found," Green Arrow lowered his bow.

Black Canary grabbed her partner as they made a dash for the door, "We can ask those questions at the Hall. Mando's right. We've got to move!"

Once unthawed enough, Mando grabbed the former crook and followed them, as the latter let out a yelp. Jack was the last to follow, "Wait for me, gents! ...and lady!"

Batman emerged from the smoke moments later, but he could see with his detective vision that the insurgents had already escaped through Boom Tube. This whole thing had been a distraction. Lois's resistance was becoming more organized by the day since that boy arrived. And even more curious was the mysterious sniper.

Picking up one of the bullets, lodged into his armor, the crest, which was part where the armor was the strongest. Even so, the bullets were customed to make sure he'd stay down for a moment and used a canister of smoke to cover their escape. Whoever made the shot knew what they were doing. They wanted to help the resistance without actually killing him.

Already having a suspect in mind, he traced the bullets to where they were fired from, only to find the sniper was no longer there. Just a red graffiti bat signal was left at the scene. This confirmed Bruce's suspicions, "Jason..."

Jason Todd. The former Robin. The former Arkham Knight. And the current Red Hood... was working with the resistance...


Thought about making this chapter longer but I realized that could be saved for the next chapter! Whew! Took a month but I finally did it! Another good long chapter of this story. With new faces from Sora's universe: Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Rocket, Groot, Captain Marvel, Hercules, Pegasus, Meg, and Phil. Not to mention some DC faces like Bibbo, Riddler, Martian Manhunter, and last and certainly not least, the Red Hood!

That's right! Jason Todd is back! And he appears to be on the Resistance side... or is he just out there doing his own thing?

Bet you didn't see Jack and Carol having history together, now did you? While it was a little outside my comfort zone, she and Jack did spend a night together, and it's in the latter's character to get woman who were attracted to him wanting to kill him later or at the very least get slapped in the face. How will things play out from that time will tell.

Also, some new media came out and lets just knock the new Beetlejuice out of the way to start. It was alright. Not bad. Not great. The original was way better though.

Deadpool and Wolverine: Now that! Was a great movie! Tbh, wasn't a fan of the first two Deadpool films prior but I felt like that did a fantastic just with this one. So good to see many familiar faces in the films again including Hugh Jackman as the X-Man! Wolverine! Although, they may have swore and used the Lord's name in vain too much and yes, it's violent but still a great film!

Now finally Star Wars Outlaws: I will be honest; its not perfect, and the story isn't the greatest but it's really fun. Sure, it could have been a bit polished up before release but I had such a blast playing the game. I loved trying to figure out how to complete missions and winning mini games for credits, that the flaws didn't bothered me as much. I can understand why many didn't want to play the full price but I do recommend at least trying it out before judging.

Now then, preview for the next chapter, we see Yozora again as he discusses with his mysterious benefactor about how to 'save' Sora. While our heroes discuess and plan how to approach things with the return of the Red Hood. What will Terrfic do with the Riddlerbots head? What's been upgraded in the hall? Can Diana get along with her brother from another universe? Stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Be sure to leave a review. Also if you haven't already, be sure to leave a follow and fav. as well. See ya real soon!
