Hi everyone, I've returned from my holiday. A month long in Japan, there I had read several Dragonball Z/GT cross-over with Justice League or DC, and I started to love those. While I was there, I started to write the story on my mobile. I hope you will enjoy this one...
Prologue...
A gentle breeze danced through the forests that surrounded the foot of a mountain that hid the wonderful treasures of mother earth from the destructive habits of humans. A relative large lake that is filled with life. Large school of fish are swimming under the crystal clear water surface of the lake, however a dark shadow moved amongst them. It moved rapidly towards the school of fish, closing the distance… whoosh! A geisher of water erupted, water shot into the air that was followed by the shadow that now clearly resemblances a man. Somersaulting through the air, arms spread as the man held in each hand a long spear that held enough fish to feed a small army. Landing nimbly on his bare feet, water cascaded down his well trained muscles that he gained through years of training, and fighting powerful opponents. Moving, the sun reflected from his body that was still slightly wet from the swim.
"That was a good catch." Laughed the young man, his black hair pointing in all kind of directions, giving it the shape of a palm-tree. Reaching his living place, which is a simple Hut that was almost an exact copy of the one that he lived in with his wife a long time ago. In front of his Hut burns a campfire at which he placed his soon to be victims above the fire, roasting them. "However the size of them is a bit on the small side if you compare them with those of my former world." Shaking his head which caused to free him of the water that stayed behind between his hair while he moved through the entrance, entering his house. Behind him the door slid shut, completely automatic while the plasma screen on the wall flashed on, showing the morning news which showed the world's greatest hero rescue a bus full of children from falling into a ravine. "Metropolis is quite lucky with a hero like you, Superman. Saving them, reuniting parents and children." Pulling his limbs through the sleeves of his shirt, and lastly pulling his head through. His dark eyes shifted towards the images of his family, his wife and sons, including his grandchildren are long passed over to the next life. "A most beautiful gift you give them each day."
Pulling on his jeans and finished his attire with a blue jacket, the man moved back out of the house and his eyes lighted up when the scent of roasted fish reached his nose. "Great, my food is almost finished." Exclaimed the young man while trying not to cause a waterfall with his saliva. His wife had trained him properly, teaching him from a young age well mannered behavior, counting and writing out of books until he was on the same level as her. A wishful smile formed on his face when he thought back, pausing for a moment before Shaking his head lightly. 'She wouldn't want me to dwell on the past, nor will my children and grandchildren. Self proclaimed emperor pilaf and his servants found the black star dragon Ball, wishing me younger… and in retaliating I must leave earth to find those dragon balls to stop earth from self destruct.' Reaching out to the spear with fish, bringing them to his lips and took a bite. 'Hmm… not bad. Almost done, it can stay for several seconds longer above the fire. Where was I, oh yes, leaving earth. While traveling the universe to find the balls, I discovered that my youngest son, and granddaughter had sneaked into the ship without anyone knowledge. My wife wasn't overjoyed at the news, demanding the immediate return of the two, however the saiyans did not return as the course of the ship had a strict schedule.' Reaching out once more to his food, taking a bite and smiled brightly after he had swallowed the fish. 'Oh boy, it taste great!' Taking a quick bite, the saiyan fondly remembered his past great fight, defeating Baby, who had the whole earth enthralled, including his wife. 'Super Saiyan Four, a transformation that I achieved by controlling the mental ability of the golden great ape, and in this form I defeated the tyrant Baby and freed earth.'
Chewing on his fish, Goku glanced up into the earth's atmosphere, feeling a need for an adventure once more. Something that his late wife would have wanted, or correctly said, demanded as she knows that he can't sit still for a minute. Digging his teeth in the fish and ripped them off the spear, the once more young saiyan moved to his Hut and pressed a button, a hissing sound and a plum of smoke erupted around the building. When the smoke dispatched, it revealed that was on the place of the building lay now a small capsule. Picking up the capsule, glancing at the item with a fond smile before pocketing the item away in his pockets. Standing tall as a gush of wind erupted around him before he shot into the air, leaving behind a campfire that was the only sign that someone lived here a mere second ago. Flying through the clouds, feeling the wind caressing his hair and pulling against his clothes made him feel weightless. All his thoughts forgotten about his past, and only focused on the flying. "Where should I go if someone like me is looking for an adventure?" Mused the saiyan in wonder, a bright smile lit up his face when a thought entered his mind. Focusing his powers to search for any special life force, Goku was not disappointed when several non-earth like energies was picked up by him, however he frowned when he felt almost no life around them, as if they are in a bare land, a desert. Shrugging his shoulders, Goku's form changed when an energy force erupted from him. His midnight black hair turned pale gold, dark eyes shifted to tropic ocean blue while his clothes changed to his trusty orange gi, and blue boots. "Ready or not, evil or no evil… here I come!" Goku shouted out in utmost glee, acceleration his speed and flew towards the source of the ki that came from a remote place… Bialya desert.
From his high view from out of the clouds, Goku could see several military objects moving through the desert. They were moving in circles, patrolling or closing in on a target. And if Goku have to guess, he would bet all his food on his latest suggestion as the tank aimed his barrel at a lone, small Hut that was ready to crumble into dust. A missile shot out of the end of the barrel, flying towards the building… whoosh! A yellow streak blurred out of the building before the missile impacted into the building and a explosion erupted. "That boy is quick, and a strange energy emitted from him, his energy still feels human but not entirely, that something probably grand him his speed ability." Goku's ability in combat noticed that immediately. "However, using his ability of speed to run in a straight line is predictable, as these soldiers are trained human to eliminate their enemies and they already noticed the hole in this boy's escape route."
Goku's prediction came true, a second missile was released from the tank, speeding towards the speedster path of escape and impacted. A loud explosion resounded through the desert of Bialya and the alien could see the two young costumed heroes laying down several feet from the crater. Watching, or more precisely hearing the tank reload and aimed at them for the final shot. Vanishing from his place in the sky, Goku blurred towards the two costumed youths, and an explosion resounded for a second time through the desert.
Artemis had a bizarre day, first she woke up in a run down shack that had seen better days. Followed her discovering of her clothes, or more like something that wouldn't miss with someone that plays cosplay in Japan. She wears a green tank top with a slight darker shade green that formed the shape of a pointed arrow that was placed between her remarkable cleavage. Her stomach, slim and flat that showed slightly muscles from all the deathly workouts she endured under the harsh and hard training of her father, her attire finished with a tight, green leather shorts with two belts around her waist that held two small quivers with throwing knives and darts. Suddenly a shadow glided over the ground and through the doorway of the shack, and within seconds Artemis has her bow loaded with a green tipped arrow, string pulled back and ready to kill the first bastard that enters this place. "Show yourself bastard, if you don't… you'll meet the tip of my arrow!" Threatened the archer in a low, cold voice. Her eyes firmly focused on the entrance of the shack as the shadow grew and the sounds of sand spreading outside caused her to tighten her grip on her bow. "I'll countdown to zero, if you don't reveal yourself by then… I would assume that you're an enemy." She tightened her eyes, her fingers that held the string already moving to release and launch the deadly projectile from her bow.
"Stop! Don't fire...!" Cried out a dark figure in warning when in a blur he entered the shack. "I come in pea….aaaah!"
Artemis released her arrow when the owner of the shadow entered the shack in impossible speed, her arrow speeding towards him that captured his attention. What followed was him capture her arrow effortless in a quick motion, almost too fast for her to follow. She nicked a second arrow at her bow, aiming again at this figure. "Spare me your speech, we'll talk after you are no longer a danger to me anymore." Spat the archer in a threatening tone, however before she could release her second arrow, her opponent had in a quick motion stole her arrow, leaving her only with the bow. Glancing down, Artemis grimaced slightly at her weapon while she pushed a button and two knives sprung out of the tip and bottom of her bow that she can use in close combat. "You did disarm my bow, only to meet it in close combat!"
Artemis launched herself at her opponent, bow vertical positioned that came down with deadly accuracy at her opponent. As for her opponent, he was taken back at the recovering of his opponent, believing that without her arrow that she was weaponless… ehm, less dangerous. "Stop, I don't want to harm you after all I have done to get you here." Shouted the boy while avoiding every trust and sweep of the bow that almost nicked him in such a small space. "Is this how you say 'thank you' to your savior?" By this time Kid Flash has stopped moving and clenched his eyes tightly shut, expecting a hit from the bow, however it never came. Instead a question came from the girl he had rescued.
"You did save me… I think a thank you is what I would say, but instead I ask, who are you? And what have you done to me!" It looked hopeful for Kid Flash when she started in a 'normal' voice that showed some confusion that quickly turned in a deep hole of mistrust. Inwardly sighing, Kid Flash lifted his hands in a surrender gesture in the hope that he would gain some trust, alas it would not be. Still with an arrow in his possession that he now held in his right hand, position the tip to her that if he wanted he could end her life. This is what Artemis saw, as she spread her legs slightly in a firmer position on the ground, her bow vertical in a defensive position. "You think I will fall for such an obvious trap, keep dreaming boy!"
Eyes traveling to his hand, Kid Flash noticed the position of the arrow and how she arrived at such a train of thought. 'Great first impression Kid, now she thinks that I will try to lure her in a warm, safe conversation before I take her life. Groaned Kid Flash inwardly, trying to find a way out of this misconception between them. "You have it all wrong, I didn't try to lure you in a safe, comfortable environment. It was all a misunderstanding." Tried Kid Flash to explain as he slowly lowered his hands and his fingers lost the grip on the arrow that fell to the floor. "See," Kid Flash said with a shaky smile, seeing the girl opposite of him lowering her bow with a fraction. It was then that Kid caught the sound of a falling object, something he had heard on the tv countless times when he played Call of Duty on his PlayStation. Without a second though Kid Flash blurred behind the female archer, wrapping an arm around her waist before she could protest and rushed out of the shack that blew up a moment later behind them.
"What do you think you're doing by touching a girl!" Artemis cried out in shock at what just happened. She knew that this stranger just saved her for a second time, however the events triggered a defense mechanism. "Keep your hands off me, you pervert! Don't touch my rear…!" Her voice rang through the desert while Kid Flash groaned at how he is treated. Not like a handsome Prince that swept the feet from under the Princess, but like a rough bandit that kidnapped one. "Hey! Where do you think your hands wander off to…! Pervert! Just you wait when we reach a safe place…uwaaah!"
'Oh boy, why must I rescue such a troublesome woman. All she does is scream and yell at me, and don't let me start when I 'accidentally' touched her rear, which I must say is not something special.' Whined Kid Flash mentally as he ran away from the tank with her on his left shoulder, with her butt in the air. 'I would not want to touch her, even if she is the last woman on earth…' Complained the speedster, running in a straight line through a valley of sand.
Artemis huffed in annoyance when the speedster denied his molesting assaults. She crossed her arms under her chest, pushing them slightly up as they sized beautifully round. Plans formed in her mind in how she would punish this pervert when she noticed in the distance the tanks releasing a new missile at their location. Turning her head slightly, she shouted loudly, "Incoming missile!"
"What?! I don't hear you, speed force ya' know." Retorted the speedster back when Artemis voice drifted away in the wind. With the speed Kid Flash ran, it was not a wonder that the archer's voice could not reach him. And without hearing the warning… the missile impacted in the ground in front of them. An explosion blasted them out of the way, Kid Flash flew through the air and crashed against the hill. Using his quick reflections and mobility, Flash apprentice managed to change course slightly in order to decrease the damage, regards Kid Flash ended up with bodily harm. Crying out in agonizing pain as his legs are unnatural twisted. "Gaah! My…l..legs, they a..are ruined!"
For Kid Flash's companion, she landed several feet further away from him. She had several burns on her skin and a bit of her costume was shredded, a twisted wrist and a burning headache as the explosion still rang through her head. "Gaah…! That hurt, I need to stand up and find him…" Hissed Artemis through clenched teeth, trying not to scream out. She had worst, much worst on that island, and she needed to find her rescuer. "I hope that the boy survived that explosion, as a quick demise is not something that he deserves." She crawled to her feet, stumbling to stand straight before she searched for her companion while she cradled her injured arm. Falling forward when she lost her balance and rolled down the hill, that was when she noticed her companion that lay down there at the feet of the hill, writhing in agony as it seems that his legs are broken and unnatural twisted. 'Hang on, I am coming for you.' Artemis mentally encouraged herself as she tried to push herself back up her feet. She slid down when she lost her balance and stopped several feet above him, seeing him cry in agony made her feel that too. "Hang on, am almost there…" Called out the Huntress as she rolled next to him and slid an arm under his shoulder. "We'll get out of here… alive!" She tried to encourage him and herself, however that light dimmed when a second whistle of a missile reached her ears. Knowing that this will be the end, she glanced up into the sun and thought about her beloved mother. Closing her eyes, accepting her fate she suddenly felt the sun rays being blocked from her skin. Confused, Artemis' eyes fluttered open and her view was filled with a broad, muscular back, a sea of orange as the figure in front of her wears a Japanese gi with a large mark on his back in black and white.
Kaboom! Goku landed in front of the children, his right arm extended outwards with his hand open and fingers spread. The missile's head crashed against his open palm, and exploded that send a shockwave through the desert. His form strangely protected the pair behind him, only a gush of hot air made their hair dance in the wind. Turning his head slightly to look over his shoulder towards the pair, his voice was soft and kind when he spoke. "Phew… that was close don't you think. Those guys almost got you with their little missile's," Laughed the saiyan. "Are you two alright? How are his legs, and your arm?"
The archer blinked her eyes several times in disbelieve at what just happened several seconds ago. She believed that her time has come, and no matter how much she thought that it was unfair without having a chance of paying her father back for all the kindness he showed to her by dropping her on that cursed island, and only to find herself in a desert when she awoke. Being rescued now twice, and this time by someone that is indestructible and possible insane strong if the muscles indicate their display. However, Artemis was surprised when the man spoke in a soft, kind tone and asked how they are. Deciding to answer the man's question while trying to ignore her wounds. "Not good I believe. With my arm injured I can't use my bow, as for my 'companion', his legs are broken and from what I've seen he needs them." She sees the young man nod his head in understanding and could see that he opened his mouth to say something when a second whistle sounded through the desert. Artemis lips parted, her mouth hanging askew when she witnessed the insane strength of her savior, who turned around and made a arm gesture as if to ward off an annoying fly. However what happened was a powerful gush of wind that knocked the missile out of his destination path and crashed several feet away from the tank, as for the latest mentioned, that vehicle was send flying through the air and landed on its side before an explosion occurred and the tank became history. "N..no way! That is impossible, with just a swept of his arm the guy just blasted away a missile and a tank! Is this boy a Kryptonian?!" Exclaimed Artemis in shocked awe, and she didn't notice that her second savior shook her a bit to gain her attention. "Umm, yes?"
"I have something that might help with your injuries." Goku said to her to gain the huntress attention and his hand searched for his well trusted beans. "These little beans," showing now his small leather bag of beans, and picked two out. "Has helped me a lot in dire situations. These beans have the abilities to heal any wounds and restore the consumer his or her total energy back." Explained the alien of what these beans can do. Goku let out a small chuckle when she stared with disbelieve at the beans, clearly not believing at all what he said, and a moment later it was confirmed.
"Are you jesting me, how can you make a joke in such dire circumstances?" Retorted Artemis angrily, her surprise at the moment pushed far away in the back of her mind. "Or do you try to poison us, after all we don't know if you speak the truth. For a moment she glanced at the unconscious form of Flash apprentice who's mind blackened out because of the pain and the heat. "However dire situations calls for dire actions. I'll trust you for now, but if am I poisoned my friends will find you." She Threatened this person, knowing that she actual stands alone with no one wanting to help her. Artemis reached out with her hand, and grasped a small bean and brought it warily towards her lips and swallowed. At first nothing happened, when suddenly an energy sourced through her veins. Her chest grew several sizes, her pink nipples hardened while her juice seeped out between her lower lips as she came from an intense orgasm. She breathed heavy, sweat rolled down her head while her eyes focused back while she send a glare at the young man. "You lied! You gave me some kind of drug to make me submit to you." She jumped to her feet, and slammed her fists against the man's broad chest that felt like concrete to her. In her anger she didn't noticed that all her wounds, including those from her precious missions were healed. "You'll pay for…" Artemis finally noticed her pain being gone, and her bruised and wounded arms were healed. "I don't feel any pain, and my wounds are gone.
"I told you." Commented Goku with a bright smile. "So, can I now give your friend one? It heals him too."
Not trusting her voice at the moment when her thought was at the moment split between anger, disbelieve or that this is all a cruel dream and she wakes up on the island. Or that all this madness truly happened around her, and that she was just rescued by two complete strangers with the latest carrying magic beans like Jack. So, she nodded her head to give him permission to feed the boy who seems to have the same abilities like the well known hero of central city. 'Will the same thing happen to him too?' Wondered Artemis with a sharp eye, watching her second savior feed her first savior a bean that worked immediately. With sick fascinating she watched the boy's leg twitch back in its natural position before his muscles swelled and he was launched in the air before crashing down with a blissfully expression on his face, and she noticed to her disgust a wet patch at little willy's place. Her disgust increased when she caught his mumbling.
"Mmm… Miss. M, yes, that is the spot…!" Artemis lifted up her left leg into the air before she let her limb crash down in the unprotected stomach of her companion. Her lips stretched in a satisfied smirk when she sees her companion upper body launch up, and his arms wrapped around his stomach. "What in speed force did you do that Artemis!" Cried out the speedster in contained anger while he tried not to lash out towards the girl.
Artemis narrowed her eyes at him, moving her arms under her remarkable bust for a sixteen old girl that pushed her pride a bit up while she retorted coldly. "That, Kid Flash is because you had a nasty dream about Megan, and I as a girl need to protect her from a dirty old man like you."
"Am not a dirty old man! It is natural that I have dreams like that, after all you will never come close to her beauty." Denied Kid Flash while also insulting her that caused to spark some red sparks in Artemis mind. However before she could do something, possible something lethal, her second savior stepped in.
"Umm… excuses me, but do you two known one another now or not. As this confuse me, first you didn't known one another name, and now you know. Please explain." Goku shared his confused thoughts about the pair, and that triggered a lot of things. For once, Kid Flash suddenly jumped to his feet, dashing towards the stranger from his prospective that wears a screaming orange bathing suite. And attacked, Kid's fists blurred in disbelieving speed and rained down on his opponent who seemed to deflect them with ease.
For Artemis, she turned her head to her savior, trusting him what more after rescuing her from certain death, healing her wounds and that of her companion with magical beans, so far this guy is okay in her book. She opened her mouth to say something when suddenly her companion blurred in front of their savior and attacked him. Artemis eyes widened slightly when she watched the pair fight, or more Kid Flash trying to land a punch on his opponent who avoid easily any incoming assaults. 'Okay, this guy have super speed, super strength and indestructible body… definitive a Kryptonian. Perhaps Superman will open up a bit to Superboy, now that there is a second full blooded Kryptonian. Or Superboy and this guy can become great friends, he looks around our age.' Artemis called down the list mentally, and actually hoped to see this guy on the team, however her eyes narrowed in annoyance. "Kid Flash stop attacking our hero, this guy helped us out when we were out for the count! And if you don't stop now, I don't know what he might do to you as I believe that he is a full blooded Kryptonian." Shouted the huntress in annoyance, feeling a headache growing already when her teammate retorted with his usual dumb reasoning.
"How can you trust him?!" Kid Flash started in disbelieve when he saw Artemis defense this stranger. Someone who was possible responsible for removing several important memories before restoring them. "I bet it was this guy who removed our memories before restoring them, or what we believe that he restored us." Reasoned Flash apprentice at which Artemis thought for a moment before thinking, running down memory lane and see nothing out of ordinary. Shaking her head, she replied.
"He can be trusted, I vow for him." Artemis said with steel in her voice at which she earned a huff from her teammate. Her glare intensified when she clearly heard the unspoken word, 'traitor', and that he, and many others still distrusted her, especially after this when Kid Flash opens his big mouth. "After all, this person just saved our life. If that is not a reason to give him some of our trust, who are we then to give others trust in us." She reasoned, and effectively shut down Kid Flash who tried bring in his own thought, a victorious smirk appeared on her face when Kid Flash's mouth opened like a fish on dry land. Artemis turned to the tall, athletic muscled person who quietly laughed. "While I'll regret to admit that Flash apprentice is in some way right, we don't know you. So, who are you, and why were you here in the first place? Because it is not everyday that you're suddenly rescued in the middle of a desert."
"For starters, you can call me Shenron. And as for me being here, I had a feeling to go on an adventure and stumbled upon you two." Answered Goku with a bright smile, rubbing the back of his head with his hand. 'Shenron, am sure the big dude do not mind if I use his name to keep my own hidden. After all, we have experienced together so many adventures.' The alien reasoned mentally with himself while an mental image of a jaded green Chinees green dragon appeared in his mind for a second. "Nice to meet you, what are we going to do now?"
"We are not the only one that arrived here, Kid Flash and I arrived here with a team. I suspect that whatever got us got them too. For all we known, they might be wandering around through the desert without any supply, especially no liquid." Artemis told the person that had introduced himself as Shenron. "Can you help us? And you might call me Artemis, and this moody person is Kid Flash."
"Fastest Kid on the planet," Kid Flash boosted, pushing out his chest while sending a thumb to himself. Proving to the others that he is the better one with his powers before his eyes narrowed at the Green archer and called her out. "And who gave you permission to tell a stranger about our mission?!"
"I did not, I only told that we arrived here with some more, a group that is in dire need of our assistance." Shot back the archer with heat in her voice. "Perhaps you don't understand our situation Kid, but one of our companion is an Atlantian who won't survive in this kind of environment, and nor will we if we stay longer here!"
Kid Flash eyes burned with enraged flames when his companion, Artemis raised her voice against him. Him, a well known apprentice of the Flash and one of the first member of Young Justice while she has just joined us. "Yo..you have some balls to speak so against me. I, Kid Flash who have a better, and more well known mentor than you. And not to mention, I'm a more senior member than you!" Blew Kid Flash from the high tower, trying to point out that he has more weight in command than her. "Rookies like you must let the work by done by the professional."
"And assholes like you must listen to other people with better suggestions, like less arguing an do something to rescue the others. Snarled Green Arrow's apprentice with narrowed eyes before she stormed off, Shenron decided to keep around her, offering his assistance in helping her finding her comrades. Marching, Artemis climbed a hill to have a better lookout view to see if she could find any clue about the others. "Why! Why must it be him that am I stuck with? Why not Aqualad, Miss Martian, even Robin is better than him… argh!" Cried the hunter out in frustration while she reached the top of the hill. Glancing around, seeing only sand, sand and guess what… more sand as far as the eye see.
Shenron stepped next to her, his eyes focused on a specific part of the desert. Clearing his throat slightly to announce his presence to the slightly irritated bow wielder, said wielder turned around to glance at him with narrowed eyes, however they softened when she noticed who it was. "What is it Shenron?"
"You mentioned that one of your friends could not survive long in this heat, it is just that I have an ability to feel someone's life force, and there is one that rapidly decrease over there." Shenron informed the archer about one of his skills at how he could feel someone's life force, and possible has found one of her comrades. With his index finger of his right hand, Shenron pointed at a few hills a few feet away from them.
Artemis followed the direction of her new friend's index finger with her eyes before she launched herself in the air and down the hill. Gliding down the hill, leaving a trail behind before she reached the feet of the hill before running towards the appointed place. She ran around the hill that Shenron told her that he felt there something, and to Artemis happiness she found another teammate. "Aqualad! Oh my God, you're almost dried up!" Cried out the girl in shock at the state of her comrade before she turned around to call Shenron. "Can you help him with your magical beans, please!"
Shenron rushed towards Artemis who kneeled next to the Atlantian who murmured weakly in his native language. She placed a hand under Kaldur's head, and lifted it slightly from the sand. "Hang on Kaldur, a new friend of mine have magical beans that might help you recover." Spoke the archer in an encouraged tone that managed her companion to quiet down. She glanced up to see Shenron kneel next to them, bringing a bean to Kaldur's lips.
"This is the last one that I can use to cure someone, after this it will not be possible to use the beans as I have one left, and that one I want to use to grew more of them." Commented Shenron his reason as this will the last bean to be used. Seeing Artemis nod in understanding, Shenron pushed the bean into Kaldur's mouth and helped him chewing by moving his jaw with his hand, while his other massaged his throat to help him swallow. "Now we wait," Said the alien when the Adams apple moved and Kaldur had swallowed the bean, and the effects happened. "So, another recovery thanks to the magical senzu beans."
"Senzu beans, is that how they are called." Artemis repeated the name, trying the name on her tongue. "Well, am I glad you felt a need for adventure or else we has lost our life without your magical beans." She commented with a smile, a smile that brightened when Kaldur pushed his upper body up to a seated position, and spoke in a shaky voice.
"Wh…what hap..happened?" Glancing around, Kaldur noticed two familiar faces. One of Artemis who glanced down at him with a rare smile, because so far he hadn't seen her smile much. Sending her a smile of his own before his eyes wandered to Kid Flash who stood a bit at a distance, awkwardly looking at him, that confused the Atlantian. Deciding to call for an answer for that later, Kaldur focused on the unfamiliar face of someone with sea-green eyes, pale blonde hair and wears a orange martial art gi. "And who is he?"
Artemis introduced Kaldur to his savior. "Kaldur, please meet Shenron, this guy healed you…"
"With a so called magical bean, something that possible does not exist! Probably it is a product of an experiment…" Interrupted Kid Flash rudely, earning a glare and an slap to the back of his head when Artemis doomed up behind him before she moved to stand next to Shenron. "Tsk… is the truth too painful for you to accept, woman?"
"No, just plain annoying to listen to you. We have more important matters, like searching for the others. Especially now we can't rely on his beans. If we meet Robin, I suspect that he would react just like his mentor…" Artemis pointed out what was important, and what might happen if they come in confrontation with one of their brainwashed members. However she was Interrupted by a sand storm that had erupted when something crashed into the sand dune.
"Gruaaah!" A tall, half naked boy, bordering a young man roared out towards the heavens. This person wears a dark, blue jeans, followed by a tight black shirt that was shredded and only left his chest bare. Gone was the Superman shield of House El, and so was the young man's mind. Replaced by feral instinct as he charged towards Artemis with insane speed. "Ruaah!" Another feral roar bursts out of his throat, and his hands are positioned like sledgehammers, ready to bury Artemis several feet under the earth surface.
Kaldur who just recovered from his amazing about the wondrous effect of the beans, and worked his body to stand up on his own two feet followed what happened. Superboy arriving with no memories of them, reversing back to what he once was and see them as enemies. The Atlantian's right arm shot out, extending towards Superboy to stop him in a desperate attempt. "Superboy…No! That is Artemis, your teammate!" Aqualad voiced out, watching powerless how Superboy closed the distance… Bwam!
Green Arrow's apprentice was once again saved by Shenron who had backhanded Superboy into the nearest sand dune. For Kid Flash who was unconscious that time when he effortless destroyed a missile and a tank turned speechless, and as for Kaldur, his eyes widened in proportion at the display of strength. Never had one of the two boys seen someone effortless slam Superboy into a sand dune, perhaps a super villain, only not into a sand dune. "That's impossible! Superboy is our team heavy hitter, and this guy smacked him into a sand dune!" Cried Kid Flash in disbelieve, turning his head to glare at the stranger. "Why did you do that? He is our teammate, not an enemy! It is not his fault that he sees her as one."
Shenron quickly placed a firm hand on Artemis left shoulder, preventing her to March towards the speedster and deck him. "That guy might be your teammate, however at the moment he is a danger. I guess that Superboy is brainwashed just like you guys and does not know about his past that he shares with you."
"He is right, I admit that Superboy is a danger for us at the moment due to him not remembering us.." Aqualad chimed in, cutting off Kid Flash who stared at him betrayed. "I propose that we find Miss Martian, if she read our mind and watch our past, she perhaps can restore Superboy's mind."
"Uwaaah!" Roared the half kryptonian, launching itself through the air with a fish extended that sunk through an after image of Shenron. A surprised look overcame him, with dark eyesight the half kryptonian looked around, only to gain a fist himself in his face that send him through the air. Crashing into the sand, causing a cloud of sand into the air.
"Fire, that is one of them…fire!" A voice roared through the desert and a moment later a missile impacted atop of him, causing an explosion. "It is a hit! We can take down these freaks!"
Artemis grasped Shenron firm arm and pulled him along with her. "Let go Shenron, Superboy can survive something that small, and he will keep them busy while we search for the others." She said thoughtful. "And if we pull him along when he is in such a state, he will only be a liability to us."
"You heartless bitch!" Kid Flash raised his voice at her in anger. "Only because you are not accepted in the team, you think that you can sacrifice Superboy who is a crucial part of the team, while you're powerless normal human being. Someone that is easily missed."
Kaldur had enough, raising his voice in a commanding tone. "That is enough, Kid Flash! You forgot that it was I that proposed to search for the others, and Artemis is right. For now we can't rely on Superboy without Megan. Let's go." Aqualad added the last part when he started to run up the hill, away from Superboy's battle with the military vehicles.
"What! You're just leaving him all to himself?!" Demanded Kid Flash angrily, not believing that Aqualad shift the blame of Artemis to himself. "If you want to play like that, don't count on me. I'll find them on my own." Spat the speedster before he dashed away, leaving a trail of sand dust behind.
"What is wrong with him?" A confused Aqualad questioned his companions who just blinked at him with their eyes. Not gaining an answer out of any of them, he too shrugged Kid Flash strange behavior off his shoulders, and instead focused on finding his lost companions. Bursting out in a sprint to join Artemis, and this new person Shenron. Aqualad glanced at Shenron with an intense gaze, wondering how this guy ended up here in the middle of a desert. "So, Shenron was it… how did you end up here in Bialya?"
Artemis turned her head slightly to listen to their conversation. "I've come here to find an adventurer. And here am I, flying from the east to join you in this wondrous adventure that I find myself in."
"So… where is your plane?" Voiced out Aqualad with a sweat drop trailing down his head. 'How can this guy be so nonchalant about this. My team and I have each trained under a mentor to prepare us for the harsh world, we choose this path to make a difference. So why did he come here?'
Shenron let out a nervous laugh. "No, you misunderstood me. I don't use a plane to fly, because I fly on my own." His laughter increased when Aqualad jaw dropped in almost disbelieve before quickly reeled in, possible remembering that a race like Superman can fly.
"If you can fly, and have super speed and strength, are you from the same race like Superman…a kryptonian?" Aqualad summarised when he summed all the stats that he knew about kryptonian. Something that gained Artemis attention too, however sounds of a battle reached them. Quickly the three of them glanced around until Artemis shifted her bow from her back, placed an arrow on before she released it. Her arrow flew straight between two hills and exploded, knocking two soldiers out.
"Heh, found them. And got first hit." Exclaimed the archer with a smirk, tilting her head slightly to glance at Shenron. Only, Shenron had disappeared much to her shock and she started to look around to find him. However a familiar voice yelped in surprise that gained her attention, and somehow she knew that Shenron was the cause of it.
Rolling out of the way of incoming bullets, Robin avoided them while he pulled out a pair of birdarangs from his utility belt. With a fluent movement of his wrist, the birdarangs cleaved through the air and attached themselves to the machine guns and exploded. 'Let think about how I end up here in Bialya. I awoke in a desert, and with luck I avoided a patrol car and had some water tablets with me.' Mentally spoke Batman's apprentice to himself. 'After having recovered slightly from hydration a mental image of Batman giving us an mission flashed in my mind. In that image I noticed several individuals…' Lifting his left arm to deflect a punch from a soldier, at which he retaliated by delivering a low kick to the kneecap, shattering it in the process. 'My best assumption is that I arrived here with a team, and possible they too have some memory loss.'
"Get him guys, it's just one little boy!" Cried out the commander who pulled out a small hand gun, aimed the loop at the young hero and pulled the trigger, with the others following his example. "This is your end, street rat!" Screamed the commander in utter glee as he and his followers released a hail of bullets that sped towards Robin.
With widened eyes, Robin watched frozen the bullets sped towards him. 'Is this my end? Here, dying alone in the desert and become one of the food for the wild animals here.' Spooked through his mind, however his spirit was much stronger than fear and with a last desperate middle finger to fate, Robin jumped to the side and avoided his death…for now. "Like a common Street rat, you are just as annoyed to exterminate them." Spoke the commander when he and his men let fall their weapons to the sand, and picked up new one and aimed as a fresh new salve of bullets sped towards the bird themed hero. "Dance little bird, dance as this will be your last." Mocked the commander while he and his men released one salve of bullets after the other.
Before Robin could prepare himself for another jump, an green arrow impacted out of nowhere with one of the soldiers who's weapon exploded and disfigured his hands. "Finally, back up has arrived." Muttered the Boy Wonder in relief. "About time you showed up."
"Kill him before his force comes to his aid!" Commanded the commander with a cry of fury at the possible defeat through the hands of these freaks. All the soldiers ignored the one that just lost the abilities to use his hands, which the commander aimed his weapon at and shit him through the head. "Queen Bee doesn't need a weakling like you. Fire!"
Robin and his surrounding assaulters widened their eyes in absolute shock, bordering disbelief for the lone hero when a tall, young man around Kaldur's age appeared in front of him, his left arm blurred in light speed when the bullets neared them. "I got the bullets Artemis, do you want me to knock them out?"
Robin was brought out of his frozen state when a voice that was slightly familiar to him came from over the top of the sand dune. "Of course Shenron, knock them out but keep one alive."
"If you say so…" Shenron opened his left hand with his palm down, and several empty bullets husks fell towards the sand, scaring the soldiers and it's commander. Before anyone could blink, Shenron disappeared and appeared again, something that brought question marks above Robin's head before the bird themed hero noticed the soldiers sunk through their knees and crashed unconscious on the harsh sand.
'This person is dangerous, catching deadly bullets, and moving in light speed with the result of knocking them all down. Am sure that Batman want to know about this new person, and someone to keep an eye on.' Robin noted mentally of what he had discovered so far. Glancing towards the dunes at which he heard the slightly familiar voice, however he was surprised to see a female Green Arrow that was followed by a dark skinned young man with fish appendages around his neck. "Hey, this might sounds to be strange, but I think that we known one another before our mind was wiped." Spoke Robin to them at which they send the younger hero a slight smile, well at least Kaldur did.
"You are indeed a pupil of the Dark Knight, as no one else would have solved that so quick." Praised Kaldur with a smile, "We need to compare notes after we find Megan."
This brought a surprised expression on the Boy Wonder's face when he could make out that the female archer ansand this persons mind were already restored. "How did your memories return, if I may ask." Questioned Robin as his eyes glided between the three, with the latest he held a confused expression.
Artemis decided to answer partly the question for the boy. "Shenron, that is his hero name, rescued us by using a pill that recovered our battered body, and recovered our mind." She said while sending Aqualad a well meaning look to keep that a secret for at the moment. "Rescuing Kid Flash and me from military vehicles that aimed a missile at us before we found Kaldur who was in a very bad state due his Atlantian's structure. We came in confrontation with a brainwashed Superboy, and decided to find Megan to restore you and him."
Robin nod at the explanation of the archer while suddenly looking up when a green skinned girl hovered in the cloudless sky, and slowly descended towards them. With a little disturbing of the sand she landed, and glanced around with a smile, however when her eyes landed on Shenron a confused expression appeared on her face. "Hi, my name is Megan, and I made cookies for you." She started her way of introducing herself. "However you don't perhaps don't remember that because of memory loss."
"Ehm… Megan, Kaldur and my mind are already restored. We wanted to find you to see our memories and share that with them. I recommend Kaldur as he is already here from the start, however we lost Kid Flash, rushed off in anger when we had a disagreement." Shares Artemis the news that she and Kaldur were already restored. "Shenron and I will look for Kid Flash and Superboy, s don't worry about us." She told them before moving towards Shenron and grasped his neck and pulled herself up, which Shenron automatic brought her arms under her body, carrying her bridal style. "Let go Shenron, I know you can fly."
"Fly…!" Three voices thundered through the desert, and eyes followed the pair when Shenron flew away with Artemis in his arms. Robin, Aqualad and Megan soon recovered from their astounding new discovery about this new person before they all focused on the task at hand.
Megan indicated with a hand gesture that they must stand in a circle. "I know that you don't quiet trust me, Robin, but what Aqualad and I will do is building some bridges from his memories that might triggers yours. I gained mine through meditation, however I don't know how Aqualad get his, but with from two perspective view you can easily compare them if they are true…or false." Explained Megan, grasping Robin's right hand with her left, and grasped Kaldur's left with her right. "Now close your eyes…and focus on my voice…" The two young heroes followed her instructions, flashes of images doomed up in Robin's mind before they faded towards the background of his mind, and being replaced with other images. Suddenly a bright white Flash erupted in Robin's mind and the bridges connected before he was thrown out of his mind.
Stumbling, Robin, Kaldur and Megan fell backwards into the sand, each rubbed the side of their heads slightly before looking up at each other. "It worked Miss M!" Cheered Robin in happiness before his bat training took over. "Now that Miss Martian is here we can search for Superboy. Megan link us up, we have a teammate that need to be found.
'Linked up, however Artemis friend's mind can not be found. It feels as if it is not here at all.' Megan spoke through the mind link to her friends.
'That doesn't matter, this Shenron guy is not part of the team. We can't trust him, regards he saved our life, but he could have planned that out and trying to get in our good grace." Robin in his copied Batman persona spoke his thoughts out to the others. "For now let us focus on recover Superboy, and regroup as a team." The boy wonder formed the plans at which the other nodded in agreement.
Artemis and Shenron glanced down at the large camp that was erected in the desert between two hills, protecting the people that work there from the harsh environment. Soldiers patrolled the ground, machine guns resting on their right shoulder. She noticed that there were other people moving around, some of them were walking in long, white coats like those doctors or professors. Turning her eyes back to her companion who held them in the air through flying. "I don't like this. There are too many guards around here, and those guys in white are probably concocting something dangerous." Commented the archer while she used her binoculars to see what happens in the tent. "I can see several heat visions moving in the tent, and from time they are testing something. One is a giant sphere, while the other is a human being that is bound to a generator."
A cry of torture raised up from the tent, and Artemis could see through her binoculars what is actually happening. "We must move now Artemis, now that they are distracted we can take them out with surprise." Green Arrow's apprentice heard her companion speak through clenched teeth, feeling his agitation and his muscles tense up. "And think about this, that person can be a teammate of yours that is in need of our help." Moving her head in agreement at the wise words of her companion, Artemis ordered them to start the surprise assault.
Shenron descended in a blur towards the camp, and landed behind a few craters that were neatly stacked. Letting Artemis go who neatly landed on her feet, Shenron glanced around to see that the coast is clear. "We've arrived without a sound of alarm, let's do what we have planned." Said Shenron before his body vanished in a blur, arriving behind a soldier. His arm moved into the air, and with a quick jab to the back of the head the soldier fell unconscious into his arms. Carrying him with him while taking out several more of them before Shenron placed them all in the center of the camp with robes binding them and underwear stretched out over their heads. "So, that will keep them out of our hair for a moment." Clapped the alien his hands together with a satisfied smirk plastered on his face, before his body blurred once more and vanished. Not a moment later, Team Young Justice minus Superboy and Artemis showed up, Kid Flash gazed in surprise at the bounds soldiers.
"What happened here?" Summarised Kid Flash for the whole group before a cry of agony ran through the night, that cry caused everyone move towards the source. As for Artemis, when her new friend vanished from her sight she sneaked towards the entrance of the large tent and entered. She held her bow loose in her hand and pulled an arrow out of her quiver. Pushing the tent flaps aside while she crawled low over the ground until she reached a cover that would keep her out of sight, but for her will be everything in perfect view. Her attention turned to a voice that is filled with malice, and sick amusement. She glanced around the edge of her hideout, and could just hold in her gasp when she sees a grey skinned man with a large head that contained a brain that was visible through the glass that protected the organ. However that was not what caused her to let out a gasp, no, it was Superboy who was chained to a machine. Intense sparks of electricity bursts out of his skin, burning him while the sphere a feet further from his place rotated at high speed in another machine that send energy to a portal, said portal lighted up and a doorway like the boomtube appeared. However that portal fell shut when the clone of Superman fell unconscious.
"This is unacceptable, unforgiving… how can they do this to him, using Superboy like some energy converter!" Artemis growled out beyond anger, disgust was clearly seen in her eyes. Without a second thought, she placed the arrow on her bow, pulled her bowstring back and release the arrow. A true master shot as the arrow flew with a neat curve towards its target, namely a sensitive part of the machine that exploded when the arrow disrupted the energy. 'Yes, a shot in the rose. Take that!' She Exclaimed in her mind before her eyes widened when her cover floated up into the air, revealing her position. 'Oh shit, that freak sees me.'
"You again, was it not enough for you to lose your memories? Seems not, don't worry, Psimon says…forget!" The villain, Psimon spoke in a low, quiet voice. His hands rested against the side of his head while he send psi-waves towards Artemis. "Forget who you're, forget all what you am, and die!" Cackling the villain, however before his powers took any effect on her, a birdarang flew out of nowhere that impacted with his head, disrupting his thoughts.
"Not if we can do anything to stop you." Robin entered the tent with a flying kick, his feet connected with the side of Psimon's head. Sending the villain a few steps back, "Now Kid Flash!"
A yellow blur entered the tent, and Kid Flash fists connected at several places. Chest, solar plexus and stomach with the latest causing Psimon to fold double. "Take that, this is payback for what you did to us." Yells the speedster, finishing his assault with a devastating upper cut.
Psimon flew with a bow through the air and landed with a hard thud on the ground. From the ground, Psimon glared at the young heroes and snarled. "You are fools, if you think that defeating me will stop us. Nor am I defeated, you're alone here while I have an army ready at my command!" Shouted the villain in superior voice, his finger pressed down the call button to summon his soldiers here.
Robin slid in a ready stance, smoke bombs ready to be unleashed to cause confusion and chaos if the soldiers storm into the tent, as for Kid Flash, he prepared his muscles to spring into action to disarm the soldiers anytime. The speedster glanced for a second at the archer, sending her an arrogant look, "Hey rookie, I'll show you how a real hero works like." Rang his voice through the space of the tent, and Artemis send him a withering glare.
"Just do you thing and be done, I have no time for your nonsense." Retorted the archer, her bow released another arrow that pierced a chain that held Superboy against the machine. That action was like a flood wave, Psimon who noticed that none of his soldiers arrived used his psychic powers to lash out to the birdarangs that Robin threw his way. "Instead of trying to irritate me, try at least helping in rescuing Superboy."
Clenching his fists, Kid Flash lashed out at the villain, using him as his punching bag to spend out his anger. However, Psimon wasn't a low villain, and quickly invaded Kid Flash's mind, sending him cruel images. "You brats are not ready to fight against someone of my greatness. The league had trouble with me, so why do you think that you brats had any chance?!"
Robin stepped forward, closing the distance between him and the villain. His hand shot up, his palm open that connected with Psimon's chin that send his head back. A satisfied grin could be seen on Robin's face. "One, you took us first by surprise, now, we'll show you what we can do." Said Robin before launching himself in the air, rotated his body and delivered a roundhouse kick towards Psimon's chest that send him a few feet from his previous position.
"Hey Brainy, looks who is glad to see you?" Commented Artemis with an evil look. Everyone turned their attention at her before a roar cleaved the silence and Superboy lunged at the person that had hurt him so much. Superboy appeared before a frightened Psimon who tried to crawl away from the enraged clone who raised a fist up that gleamed in the light of the lantern above their heads, before it came down straight into his back. His left fist pulled back from villain's bruised back, however that place was immediately replaced by his right, and in a beating rhythm the super villain was slammed deeper into the ground.
While Superboy was delivering justified rage, Shenron calmly, and lazily dispatched the army. An iron grip he have on the barrel of the tank that swung from left to right, knocking out soldiers whose screams filled the air when their bones broke at contact. The soldiers, terrified by this monster in human flesh tried to run from the place of horror. "Run! Run for your life!" Came a terrified cry from one of the soldiers.
"Already leaving guys, it just became so much fun." Shenron said with a feral grin on his face, twirling his body and swung the tank that is still in his grasp around his body before releasing the vehicle of death. Sailing through the cloudless desert air of Bialya, the tank crashed against several military planes that exploded in the air and the person that caused the whole incident grinned as he rubbed with his index finger the underside of his nose. Floating up, his feet leaving the rough, hot desert sand and left behind a chaotic field of broken bodies, ruined military vehicles that burned in red and yellow. A rumble spread through the air, and Shenron let out a amused laugh out when his stomach complained. 'Oh man, I am starving… time to hit a nice restaurant.' Are his thoughts, flying higher into the air and became nothing more than a black dot before he completely vanished.
Megan's eyes radiated a feint, green light when she completed her task of restoring Superboy's mind. Her hands that she held at the side of Superboy's head, near his sleep dropped to the side of her body. The Martian's chest rose up and fell, stretching her uniform as her breasts threatened to tear her top apart as she filled her lungs with air. "That was harder than I thought, his mind was severally damaged by the other mind Walker. Perhaps we must let uncle Jon check us when we return to Base." She said when the energy slowly returned into her body as she wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead. "I'll call my ship and we can return, I remember that the dough for cookies is waiting for us."
"Hold on Megan, I fear that your cookies has to wait because of an unexpected new person showed up. Artemis'new friend is still an unknown to us, and I like to know on who's side he is or what his plans are." Robin commented at which Artemis eyes narrowed in disgust at how Robin pays back her rescuer in kind. Her eyes slid to her right, seeing Aqualad showing a bit of discomfort between keeping quiet because that stranger had rescued him, and his loyalty to the team. "Let's search for him and bring him in to Batman."
"Now, hold on you. You can't believe that I will help you after all our rescuer has done to help us!" Shouted Artemis in disgust at how Robin backstabbed her new friend. "He healed us when our body was in critical state, our mind that was wiped out was also restored by him. So, do you really want to hand him out to your mentor?!"
Without any hesitation, Robin replied. "Yes, we don't know anything about him." Moving past Artemis and moved his arm to push the entrance open at where he paused and looked back over his shoulders to her. "And I believe that we will find that answer at why the soldiers didn't come at Psimon's call."
Artemis watch him leaving the tent, looking around she found that Aqualad had turned his head away. Shame clearly seen in his eyes that he allowed Robin to leave without saying something in defense for his rescuer. Turning her head, she noticed the smug smile of Kid Flash before in a quick movement the speedster followed Robin out of the tent. "Ugh... how could they live with themselves if they bring the person that has saved their lives." Snarled Green Arrow's apprentice before she too rushed out of the tent, only to came to a stop. Her eyes wide in disbelieve at what she just now see, and a reason that Robin now surely will tell his mentor of what had happened at the end. Clenching her teeth tightly together, she decided to use Green Arrow's friend to try to find her new comrade and warn him while in the distance the bioship flew towards their destination, possible to bring them back to their base.
Goku is incredible strong, and before everyone flame about him being too strong, let me start at how I see it. My Goku will be a Super God Saiyin, with red hair. However, I know that will be overpowered so he will not use it too much or at all. In my opinion, people like him will take everyhing not so seriously and will barely show it at all.
In Dragonball, Goku easily survived a bullet to his neck when Bulma panicked, and so I believe that not much could harm him. As why he choose Super Saiyan mode, it is to keep his identity a secret. Another thing is, this Goku will be OOC, different that the battle smart Goku as he will use his smart also outside the fight.
About his wife, it is not chi-chi.
Well, I hope this get some nice reviews, and ENGLISH IS NOT MY NATIVE LANGUAGE!
