Hi all. Here a new chapter of this story, I hope you are liking the story and I also hope you like this chapter. With nothing more to say, here is the chapter. See you later, bye dattebayo.
Metropolis can be a quiet city. But when night falls, the streets can be very dangerous. Especially in the slums.
An old woman was walking through the streets but even though she seemed to be calm, inside the woman had enormous fear.
Suddenly the old woman landed when she heard something fall but her fear disappeared when she noticed that she was only a cat.
The old woman looked forward only to see a man looking at the woman with a smile that made the old woman's fears intensify.
"If you think you can convince me not to steal your purse. You are very wrong." The man said as he quickly took the woman's bag from her before running off as the old woman fell to the ground due to fear.
The man would be going through the bag until he found the old woman's wallet, the man wasted no time and would take the money while he laughed.
"Hahaha, that was really easy." The man said but at that moment the thief felt something that was watching him and when he turned around he looked at a person hidden in the shadows.
"One of the Teen Titans? Hahaha, okay I give up. Come on take me, but remember I'll be on the streets in a week." The thief said with a smile. But the person didn't say anything and neither did a muscle move.
"I said I give up." The man said with some annoyance.
Like lightning. The shadow launched itself with extraordinary speed before attacking. The thief fell to the ground but his eyes were completely glassy and his skin was now a very gray hue. As if his soul was no longer with him.
"Those who dare to poison the peace of the people, or try to stain the floors with blood. They will know the edge of my weapon." The person said before disappearing into the shadows at high speed.
It was a quiet morning in the city. Today was Saturday, which meant that Diana and I would be training. The Amazon warrior and I had found out about a fencing club at the recreation center so the two of us wrote to each other to get a better handle on the sword.
Diana would be in her fencing uniform while in front of her was her rival ready to fight. The Amazon warrior would rush to attack while her rival made a great effort to defend herself from her, Diana would quickly destroy her defense and manage to hit her with the sword in the chest.
"Good work, Nathaniel." Diana said as she took off her mask and helped her partner up.
"Haha, it only lasted two seconds." The boy said as he stood up.
"Yes, it was twice as long as last time." Diana said with a smile.
"Does anyone want a rematch?" The Amazon warrior asked with a smile. All of her companions upon hearing that would simply leave the place due to nerves and fear.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry Diana. I think there were enough losses for today, by the way where is Benja? I thought he would come with you." Nathaniel asked curiously.
"Benja told me that he would be busy training, but he told me that he would come soon to give you the revenge that he owes you." Diana said with a smile as she cleaned her sword.
"Hahahaha, I hope so. Turn off the lights before you go." Nathaniel said before leaving.
Diana would be cleaning her sword until the Amazon warrior noticed that in front of her was a girl who was wearing a fencing uniform.
"Oh hi, are you new here?" Diana asked curiously. But she got no response from the person.
"Recently I joined, I find that the fencing struggle very exciting and incredible." The warrior said Amazon with a smile. At that time the person showed his sword and put a pose of combat by smiling to Diana.
"Very well, we'll fight here and now!" He said Diana before before starting a duel of swords with the girl in front of her. The Amazon warrior would be very excited to see that his rival had a great handling with the sword.
"By the gods. Your combat technique is impressive." Diana said with emotion in her voice as she continued to fight the girl.
"It's the best technique because I don't know my opponent's defense. Now I do." The girl said as she began to launch attacks with more speed making the fight more frantic. Something that would thrill Diana.
"I'm impressed, you're very good. But I'm better than you." The girl said as she watched the Amazon warrior smile grow.
"Haha, do you think your defense works? I can also fight with the left. And I'm not left-handed." Diana said as she threw her sword into the air to quickly switch hands. The fight would now be in favor of the Amazon warrior while her rival would have a little difficulty defending herself.
"There is something I have to tell you." The girl said, drawing Diana's attention.
"You're not left-handed either?" The Amazon warrior asked curiously.
"No, I am. But there is something that I am not." The girl said before making a quick movement to remove the sword from the Amazon warrior before hitting her on the chest causing Diana to fall to the ground and she saw her sword away from her.
"Distracted." The girl said as she looked at Diana.
"Touche !!. Oh it's exciting to know what it feels like to lose, you're amazing! My name is Diana." The Amazon warrior said as she shook hands with her rival.
The girl takes off her mask to show her face. The girl had black hair and her features were Asian.
"Tatsu yamashiro." The girl said as she and Diana shook hands.
"I just moved from Japan. You are the first worthy opponent I know." Tatsu said with a smile.
"You have to teach me to fight like this one day." Diana said with a smile. That made Tatsu show a smile before handing the Amazon warrior her sword.
"And why not now?." The girl asked as she got into a combat pose. Diana seeing this would show a smile before doing the same.
"Take a good look at my left hand." Tatsu said before starting with his training with Diana.
The day passed so fast that the two girls would not notice it but they were not interested in the time, the only thing they wanted was to continue training to improve their knowledge with their weapons. Diana at one point took advantage of Tatsu's carelessness to touch her chest with her sword, something that left Diana's new friend very surprised.
"Incredible. You learn fast." Tatsu said very surprised.
"And you are a great teacher." Diana said before turning around and looking in disbelief that it was already night.
"By Cronos. Time's up." Diana said before going with Tatsu to the locker room to change clothes.
When Tatsu and Diana were about to speak, the moment was interrupted when they heard their stomachs growl something that made the two girls blush a lot but they would also start laughing.
"I guess so much training was exhausting. Tatsu, do you want to accompany me home? We can have something for dinner." Diana said with a smile.
"Well, okay. I guess." Tatsu said with some shyness.
"Don't worry Tatsu, anyway. I'd like to know more about you." The Amazon warrior said with a smile.
"Ok Diana, I also want to know more about you." The girl said with a smile.
The two girls were leaving the recreation center as they began to talk about the training they had earlier today as they approached the city.
I had my eyes closed while in my backyard meditating. Suddenly I opened my eyes to quickly draw my sword to start deflecting a flurry of thorns that came out of my plants, however I quickly jumped to avoid a root attack but it would only be a distraction for some arrows of water to attack me.
"Fire Element: Dragon's Breath !." I yelled before unleashing a blast of fire at the water arrows creating a dense screen of smoke.
Now I was shrouded in mist while I had my sword ready to defend myself and suddenly some thorns would rush towards where I am causing me to quickly start dodging them, but at one point I saw how a blast of water shot towards where I was. Seeing this I use the Earth element to create walls to block attacks.
I saw how the walls were breaking down as the attacks became more and more intense. I quickly took a great leap just as the walls broke and I would now be in the air to prepare my next attack.
When the smoke clears some very rare flowers were seen at one end of the patio and at the other end there were buckets full of water.
"Who will it be?" I asked myself before walking towards the door and when I opened it I saw Diana and Tatsu.
"Hi Benja, hehehe. Sorry for taking so long." Diana said shyly as she and her new friend entered my house.
"Don't worry Diana is fine, who is she?" I asked curiously looking at Tatsu.
"Oh Benja, this is Tatsu my new friend, Tatsu this is Benja. We both live together." The Amazon warrior said with a smile.
"Kon'nichiwa oyasuminasai." Tatsu would say hello in Japanese making her nervous to forget that she was no longer in Japan. But.
"Kon'nichiwa, hajimemashite." She said with a smile as she greeted Tatsu. The girl looked at me in surprise before speaking in Japanese again.
"Nihongo or hanashimasu ka ?." Tatsu asked curiously as she looked at me.
"Hai, demo sorehodode wa arimasen." I said with a small smile.
"In the name of Zeus. What kind of ancient language is this?" The Amazon warrior asked, that statement made Tatsu and I start laughing with some embarrassment.
"Hehehe it's not an ancient language, Diana. It's Japanese." Tatsu said with a smile. At that moment our stomachs growled making us all laugh.
"I'll go fix something for dinner." I said as I took an apron and walked towards the kitchen while Diana and Tatsu followed me.
"And Benja, where did you learn to speak Japanese? Besides, your Japanese, despite being basic, seems almost fluent." The Japanese girl asked curiously.
"Well, I learned Japanese thanks to a teacher I met. We got along very well, but unfortunately he had to return to his country for family matters. But I learned a little Japanese thanks to him, maybe not enough but at least I can speak it. basic." I said as I start to cook.
"And tell me Tatsu, what are you planning to do tomorrow?" Diana asked curiously.
"Hmm, I think I'll keep training." Tatsu said shyly
"Oh, Benja and me too. I have an idea, how about the three of us train together tomorrow?" The Amazon warrior asked with a smile. That statement caught my and Tatsu's attention.
"I don't know Diana, I don't want to be a bother. Are you sure?" I ask with some shyness.
"You won't be a bother Benja, and what do you say Tatsu?" Diana asked curiously.
"Sure, I think it's a good idea." The Japanese girl said with a smile.
Thereafter. Diana, Tatsu, and I started dinner while we talked about what training would be like and other things until it got really late. Diana didn't want Tatsu to leave her at such late hours so she let her new friend sleep with her.
The next day Diana, Tatsu and I would be in a gym to begin our training. The girls would be lifting weights while I was doing the same before grabbing some heavier weights just like Tatsu and Diana.
After being in the gym, the girls and I decided to run up some stairs to see who would get to the top the fastest. Tatsu would start jumping over the railings causing her to take the lead, but Diana and I looked at each other with a smile before imitating the same idea as Tatsu.
The three of us reached the top very tired as we viewed the city from the top of the building.
"The best of three ?." Diana asked with a smile.
"Yes." Tatsu and I said at the same time before running down while Diana followed us.
Tatsu would be training his kicks and punches before starting to hit Diana's stomach, but the Amazon warrior stood firm with a smile as she received the blows before hitting Tatsu's stomach in the same way while the Japanese girl would be calm.
I on the other hand was hitting the punching bag of the place before seeing the girls looking at me with a smile. At that moment I understood what they would do so I would stand my ground while Tatsu and Diana started punching me in the stomach while I stood my ground.
The girls and I would now be climbing a mountain while the wind was blowing so hard that it seemed to intend to throw us but we held our ground until we reached the top of the mountain before sitting down and watching the sunset.
"God. I'm so tired, today was an amazing day." I said as I took out of my backpack some bottles of water for Diana and Tatsu.
"You're right Benja, today was an amazing day." Diana said with a smile.
"I'm surprised. They are the first people who are able to keep up with me." Tatsu said with a smile.
"Diana and I always train together, I suppose our bodies are able to withstand this kind of training." I said as he looked at the Japanese girl with a smile just like Diana.
The girls and I look at the sunset with a smile. Not only had we trained like never before, today we had forged a friendship that could be impossible to break.
The next day. After school, the girls and I were dating while Jessica talked about a movie that would be released today.
"Alright, we're going to see explosive ninja pirates from space IV." The Green Lantern girl said as she looked at us.
"It has a good story for me, good special effects for Karen, a great costume design for Zee, a lot of action for Kara and barbara doesn't care what we see as long as she's carrying her bucket of burritos." Jessica said as we all watched as the redhead was putting the burritos in her backpack.
"Benja, Diana. Are you sure you don't want to go with us?" Karen asked curiously.
"Sorry girls, but I have to help Barry and Diana has plans with Tatsu." I said with a shy smile.
"Oh right, Diana's strange friend. Tell me, are we going to meet this Tatsu one day?" Kara asked mockingly.
"If you wish ..." the girls would suddenly step aside in shock and look at Tatsu.
"Oh wow, you came out of nowhere." Barbara said with a smile.
"Yes." It was all Tatsu said, that made Barbara's smile disappear.
"Emm, it's nice to meet you. They told us a lot about you." Jessica said with a smile but at that moment the girls were scared when they saw that Tatsu was giving off a murderous aura and her eyes were shining a little red.
"Tell me who it was that told you about me. And I'll make sure they never speak again, ever." Tatsu said with a terrifying tone that made Karen quickly hide behind Jessica.
"Actually, Diana and Benja were what they told us about you." Jessica said nervously. That statement made the whole atmosphere relax a bit.
"Oh I understand. It's okay." Tatsu said now more relaxed.
"And where do you come from?." Zatanna asked curiously.
"From a far away place, to which I will never return." The Japanese girl said as the wind caressed her hair and made it move.
"Hey, I never thought possible but Diana and Benja say you like training as much as they do." Kara said with a smile trying to improve the atmosphere.
"Strength is achieved through discipline. Not with gusto." Tatsu said. That statement made the Kryptonian girl look at Barbara, the redhead didn't quite understand what the Japanese girl meant either.
"Isn't she amazing?" Diana asked with a smile. But the girls only looked away in embarrassment while Tatsu looked somewhat sad.
"Here you go, enjoy your ice cream." I said as I put the ice creams of two customers on a table before I went to prepare the next orders but I heard something on the news that made me show a very serious expression.
"We have just been informed that they found another body in the alleys of the slums. The body matches the rest of the multiple bodies that were found in recent days. In total, a total of 59 men were reported in this state. Doctors they don't know for sure what it can be. " Said a reporter as he changed to show a doctor.
"We are completely unaware of what we are dealing with. We have done all kinds of tests on these bodies and the result is the same. These people are alive but judging by their eyes it seems that they could be in a kind of trance, however we do not know why the subject acquires the skin of this gray tone and also the origin of the transe. But we will continue investigating to find the cause of all this. "
"No one knows what happens to these people or what kind of monster is on the streets of Metropolis. We will continue to report this news shortly." Said the reporter as the commercials began to air.
Barry and I looked at this in amazement but also seriously as we continued to work.
"Barry. Did you manage to see anything last night?" I ask while he was preparing two smoothies.
"I did it as you asked. But I couldn't find anything, it's as if that thing was hiding very well in the shadows." Barry said with some seriousness.
"Thanks Barry for trying. I guess after work I'll go patrol." I said while I continue to prepare the orders.
"I can accompany you." Barry said as he looked at me.
"No Barry, it can be very dangerous. I don't want anything bad to happen to you, I'll talk to the team later to do a patrol around the city. I know you want to help, but I don't want to see my friends get hurt. I never do. I would forgive. " I said while looking away. Barry seeing this would put a hand on my shoulder to encourage me.
"Okay benja, but if you need any help. Just give me a call and I'll get Hal together with the rest of our team to help you." Said the sprinter with a smile.
"Thanks Barry, let's keep working now. The ice cream is melting." I said smiling as the sprinter and I kept working.
Diana and Tatsu were in the recreation center training some boxing but the Amazon warrior noticed that at no time was the Japanese girl returning her blows, she was only covering herself.
"What's wrong Tatsu? You haven't hit me in the face yet." Diana said somewhat confused and worried when she saw the sad expression on the girl.
"What are you talking about?." The Amazon warrior asked as she approached Tatsu.
"Since I left home, I had trouble fitting in. Many people say that I am very weird and very intense." Tatsu said with some sadness.
"Can it be very intense?" Diana asked curiously.
"Exactly. You and Benja were the only ones to give me hope that Metropolis would be my new home. But apparently, I'm destined to be alone." Tatsu said as she lowered her head.
"I love my friends, but sometimes I feel like I don't fit in here. I feel like sometimes nobody understands me. But you do." Diana said as she put a hand on her new friend's shoulder with a smile.
"And if we understand each other, at least we are not alone if we have each other." The Amazon warrior said with a smile. That statement made Tatsu smile too.
"I really appreciate your friendship, Diana Prince." Tatsu said with a smile as she looked at the Amazon warrior.
"And I also appreciate your friendship. Now we are going to train to understand each other better !!." Diana said with a huge smile something that made Tatsu laugh before starting to train with the Amazon warrior.
The girls were leaving the theater while talking about the movie.
"It wasn't bad, but I still hope it improves a bit for explosive ninja pirates from space V." Barbara said but at that moment Kara stopped and suddenly the Kryptonian girl would stop the rest of the team.
"Wait. Something's wrong." Kara said as her super ears seemed to be hearing an alarm.
"The jewelry!!." That statement made everyone serious.
"We call Diana and Benja ?." Jessica asked concerned.
"There is no time. It is time to fight." Kara said as she and the rest of the team quickly prepared to fight.
When the girls arrived they saw that the entrance was open but in the shape of a cat which made them know who the person was inside and without wasting time they quickly entered.
"Alright clowns, you picked the worst night for." Kara was about to continue her prayer but saw that Catwoman was on the ground which caused the entire team to have a bead of anime-style sweat on the back of their heads.
"Did you fall asleep in the middle of the robbery?" The Kryptonian girl approached the villain's body but at that moment when they turned Catwoman's body they noticed that her eyes were crystallized and her skin was gray which scared the girls a lot.
"She is...?." Karen watched everything with fear while Jessica reviewed the condition of the villain.
"No, she's alive. But, I don't understand what's wrong with her." She told the Green Lantern girl until Zatanna would use her magic to see Catwoman's status but the magical girl was horrified to notice something.
"I don't like this. They used dark magic on her ... to take away her soul." Zatanna said with horror something that had a great impact on the girls.
"Now what?." Karen asked concerned.
"Let's take her to a safe place until we see what she has. Kara, can you please pick her up?" Jessica asked as she looked at the Krypton girl. Kara gave Catwoman an annoyed look before picking her up and leaving the jewelry store with the rest of the team.
"Couldn't we just take her to the cops?" The Kryptonian girl asked with some disgust. The last thing she wanted tonight was to carry Catwoman's body.
"They didn't know what to do with it. We better have it for a while until we know what happened." Jessica said as she and the rest of the team started walking while they thought about what to do.
"Agh, alright. But you realize this is very similar to ninja pirates from outer space II, it didn't end well at all." Kara said suspiciously but what no one noticed was a shadow that was moving across the ceilings.
"We have to get her to a safe place first." Jessica said with some seriousness.
"Oh you have to hide a body. No problem girls, I grew up in Gotham City and I know the perfect place. Besides, it's just a sick body." Barbara said confidently but suddenly she would fall after tripping over something. When the redhead turned around she saw with horror Harley Quinn lying on the ground in the same state as Catwoman.
"What were you saying?." Zatanna asked as she watched everything in amazement.
"Now what now?" Karen asked while all in disbelief.
"Agh, I have an idea. I'll be right back." Jessica said before flying off leaving the rest of the team behind.
The girls would be waiting for a few minutes until they saw Jessica but the Green Lantern girl had brought a car and was stopping near the rest of the team.
"I'm not sure about this. I shouldn't put friends in Mom's car, especially supervillains." Jessica said as she opened the back of the car but.
"Supergirl !! Don't do that !!" the green lantern girl yelled when she saw that Kara was drawing on Catwoman's face with lipstick.
"Is it my lipstick!?." Zatanna asked very angry.
"I'm sorry." He said Kara with a smile as he returned the lipstick to the magic girl before taking Catwoman and Harley Quinn to the car.
"Do not worry, my house is very close to here and also only two very light bodies are." Barbara said with a smile while the Krypton girl was about to put the bodies in the car. However, at that time, a certain giant villain would fall from the sky by crushing Jessica's car and left everyone very surprised.
"I am detecting a pattern." Zatanna said with fear seeing that Giganta was in the same state as the rest of the villains.
"Now, now, now what?" Karen asked concerned.
Jessica had used her ring to recreate an identical copy of her mom's car while taking the rest of the team and the villains to Barbara's house. The only question that she was afraid of was how she would tell her mom about what happened to the car.
"We have to hide three bodies, that's nothing. We always hide three bodies before breakfast." Barbara said without concern but the Green Lantern girl stopped when they saw with horror the bodies of Livewire, Poison ivy and Carol in the street and in the same condition that they found the other villains.
"Now, now, now, now what?" Karen asked now more scared than before.
Commissioner Gordon was in his chair ready to watch his favorite show, but he never noticed that Barbara was at the window to make sure his dad didn't see anything. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Commissioner Gordon to fall asleep just as the show was about to begin.
The girls seized the moment and began to enter with the bodies of the villains but Kara was having a hard time moving Giganta.
"Come on whale ass, don't make this harder for me." The Kryptonian girl said as she pushed with all her might to move the villain's body until they reached Barbara's room.
Jessica would leave Livewire's body on the ground but at that moment she would see Kara playing with Carol's hair.
"Supergirl, please." The Green Lantern girl said somewhat annoyed. The Kryptonian girl, upon hearing that, would stop playing with Carol's hair, but Kara winced as she saw Carol's body fall to the ground dry.
"Wait, where is Poison ivy?" Karen asked when she realized the absence of the villain, however Jessica hearing that she would be stunned before letting out a small yell and running quickly to the window.
"We left it on the roof !!." She screamed Jessica before quickly going to find the villain and set her up with the rest of the other bodies.
"Now, now, now, now, now, now what?" Karen asked as she looked at the rest of the team.
Diana would be training fencing with Tatsu but at that moment the moment was interrupted when the Amazon warrior received a call.
"Umm, what's going on here?" Diana asked confused.
"Don't you understand? We found these unconscious villains so we brought them here to help them." Barbara said as she looked at the Amazon warrior.
"Yes, I understand that but. Why are they like this?" Diana asked uncomfortably seeing that the villains were in positions as if they were putting on makeup while their arms were tied with strings as if they were puppets.
"Oh that, well I told my dad that we were having a sleepover. So it occurred to me to make them look like this so that dad would think we're putting on makeup." She said the redhead with a smile. At that moment the girls heard someone knock on the door and saw that it was Commissioner Gordon.
"Is everything okay around here, little princess?" Commissioner Gordon asked curiously.
"You know dad, we're putting on makeup." Barbara said as she discreetly began to move a mechanism that would make the villains' arms move as if they were putting on makeup.
"Alright, have fun." Commissioner Gordon said with a smile before leaving. Barbara at that moment saw that the girls were looking at her with a raised eyebrow due to the idea of her.
"What? He doesn't even know I'm Batgirl." Barbara said with a smile.
"And Benja? Where is he?" Diana asked worriedly.
"Benja said he was busy. Apparently he and Barry have a lot of clients tonight." Jessica said as she watched the rest of the team.
"We must find the one responsible for this. Right now." Diana said seriously.
"Yes, but how will we do it?" Kara asked as she looked at the Amazon warrior.
"Don't worry sister, I have a plan." Diana said with a smile as she and the rest of the team put on their hero clothes before going out to find the person in charge.
"We have to find him before he attacks the next villain, before his soul is taken from him." Diana said seriously.
"But where will we find more villains?" Karen asked but the little bee would let out a yell making everyone stop.
"Villains. Their souls are stained, and tonight. Their souls, they will be mine." Said a girl. The girl wore samurai-like clothing while she looked at the girls coldly.
