I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO DC COMICS (AND IN SOME PARTS, MARVEL OR CARTOON NETWORK), if I did, you would see this fiction in a TV show with me playing the original character. Not really a spoiler, but to be safe, I DO NOT OWN THE FOLLOWING: SMALLVILLE, THE JUSTICE LEAGUE SERIES, LEGION OF SUPER HEROS, OR YOUNG JUSTICE; THEY BELONG TO DC COMICS. Just to clarify, this fiction is based in the Young Justice Universe, with a few themes and ideas from Smallville and the Justice League series. Thoughts and visions are in italic. If you watch Doctor Who, I am using something really similar to a plot device from the 3rd and 4th series to help me explain a certain piece of the story, so I don't own Doctor Who, all rights go to BBC.

Chapter 10 The Trans-Dimensional Arch

My flight to the Fortress was a quick one. No hero ever got in my way. When I entered the building, I was amazed. It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw. The way the crystals came together and formed the Fortress was remarkable. As I was walking through the building, a fierce wind came blowing.

"Who are you?" asked a booming voice.

"What the-" I started.

"How do you know about the Fortress?" the voice demanded. It sounded like it was coming from every direction.

"You must be Jor-El." I said. I continued walking. I was looking for the control console.

"Who are you?" repeated Jor-El.

"I don't really know to be honest." I said. "You see, when I was younger, my name was Kyle, and then I chose the alias Phoenix. Then Brainiac possessed me, but we were fused body and mind, with mine being dominate."

"The Brian Interactive Construct. You survived." said Jor-El.

"Didn't you hear what I just said?" I asked. "Oh that's right. You're an A.I. system. A highly advanced A.I., but artificial none the less."

"Your arrogance will be the end of you." said Jor-El. A tube of energy then came down on me, and I felt pain. "You have killed my son. You must pay for this."

"He already completed the destiny YOU gave him!" I screamed. "Arghhh! What are you doing?"

"I am separating your biological cells from the nanites that compose Brainiac." said Jor-El.

"That can't happen!" I screamed. "If the nanites were to be removed, I'll die!"

"I'm sorry, but it must be done." said Jor-El, showing what sounded like sorrow.

"NOOOO!" I yelled with all my might. I then released a psychic blast that disabled the energy tube. I fell to my knees, trying to catch my breath. My head also was hurting. After a minute, I stood back up and continued to look for the console. As I was looking, the wind became fiercer. I had to use some of my abilities just to keep walking. After a few seconds, I found the console.

"Young one, you must stop." said Jor-El as I was rearranging the crystals. "You don't know what you are doing."

"Well since you asked so nicely." I said sarcastically. I then touched the console and put in a virus. The voice of Jor-El screamed in pain and his voice sounded full of static.

"Wh- bzzzzt- re you doi- *crackle*- me?" asked Jor-El.

"You're getting on my nerves Jor-El." I said. "So I'm getting rid of you presence and your control over the Fortress." The crystals then slowly turned dark while they were being corrupted.

After a few moments, the Fortress was completely dark and under my control. Because of the virus, I could control the Fortress with just a mere thought. I decided to see what the world's reaction is to the death of its greatest hero. I created a holo-screen to display the entire world's communication networks.

"The whole of the world is mourning." said a Metropolis newscaster with tears running down her face. "Our greatest hope has been murdered. The other members of the Justice League, specifically Wonder Woman and Batman have taken the body to the Hall of Justice. I'm Cat Grant, and you're watching-"

"I'm Michael Jay, and I'm bringing you, the citizens of Gotham, the most tragic news. The Man of Steel is dead." said the reporter.

So many reports of Superman's death from all over the world were being shown. I remembered that Superman broadcasted what I was planning; it would be only a matter of time before I have the League interrupting me. So I came up with a way to fulfill me promise to Amanda Waller.

"Hack into the Watchtower." I demanded. The control console began to glow faintly, and I saw a holographic image of the Watchtower. "Scan for life." On the image, appeared several red orbs that indicated a living creature. "Identify." Names appeared next to the orbs. The entire League was on the Space Station, excluding Red Tornado and Black Canary (who are dead), the Green Lantern John Stewart, Captain Marvel, and Zartarra. "Scan for missing members of the League." A holographic image of the Hall of Justice then came up next to the Watchtower. It also had shown me that the rest of the League is located here. "This is going to be easier than I thought. Dead lock both the Watchtower and the Hall." The holograms then turned red. "Divert 50% of the Watchtowers power to the canon. Now take aim and-"

"Kyle! What are you doing?" asked my former mentor.

"Hey Bruce. Tell me, how did you contact me?" I asked.

"Never mind that!" yelled the Bat. "How are you alive?"

"I never actually died you idiot!" I yelled. "I thought you're the world's greatest detective? It was my new Technorganic form. It allowed me to stop my heart and 'die'. Because I'm half machine, I don't require oxygen to breath. Basically, I put myself in stasis. Now if you excuse me Bruce, I have a laser to FIRE!"

"Kyle, NO!" screamed Batman.

-Washington D.C.-

An average citizen looked up in the now brighter sky. She was walking home when she noticed that in the sky was a bright light, but it wasn't the sun. She thought this very peculiar, especially when the clouds started to swirl. She then saw a beam of light. This woman, being very smart, knew it was a laser, and from its position, she knew where it was going to hit. She ran up to a high place where she saw the laser hit the Hall of Justice. There was a large explosion completely destroying the Hall, leaving nothing but a crater.

-Fortress of Solitude-

"Kyle, you've become a monster!" said Bruce.

"I know Bruce." I said with sorrow. "Because of Brainiac, I've become an abomination. When we fused our minds together, I used every bit of my telepathy so I was the dominant one. But… what I didn't count on was Brainiac corrupting me. Bruce, I want your forgiveness."

"What are you talking about?" asked Bruce.

"This. Watchtower, self-destruct in 25 seconds. Divert all remaining energy to the power cells and overload." I said.

"No, no!" screamed Bruce.

"Good-bye…" I said.

"Noooo-bzzt!" said Bruce before I ended the transmission.

"…father." I said, with a tear running down my face. All of the sudden, my head began hurting. The pain was getting worse and worse. "No… not… again!"

I was again looking at the man that created that device, the Arc Reactor it was called, that created tremendous amounts of energy. The man looked fairly sick.

"The Palladium core is that you use for your reactor is slowly poisoning you, Mr. Stark." said a computerized voice.

"Oh really, JARVIS? I never would've guessed." said the man that must have been known as Tony Stark.

"Sir, you must find a substitute substance or you will die." said JARVIS.

"I know!" screamed the dying man. He then typed codes on a keyboard that brought up the blueprints for his personal reactor. I quickly memorized the blueprints. "But we've tested every element and every combination of elements!"

"How am I able to see into other universes?" I asked aloud, half-expecting an answer. I then remembered the vision of the highly technological world from that other universe, and I remembered that I usually see that universe after the one with Tony Stark. I decided that it was time to use the Fortress for what I intended. I mentally commanded the Fortress to create an arch with the crystals to my exact specifications. The process was slightly difficult, even with my new powers. It could have been easier it wasn't for the annoying feeling I had at the back of my mind.

After a few minutes the feeling got on my nerves, so I concentrated on the sensation. I sent a mental pulse and I was angered by what I saw. Miss Martian was alive! So was the rest of the Team. All of them were angry and were coming after me. I realized that Miss Martian was trying to learn what I was doing, and learned enough that she sped her ship up to its highest speed.

I went to working on the arch at a much faster rate, after putting blocks on my mind so the Martian wouldn't read my mind again. I felt annoyed that I let a weak telepath like her read my mind. After a few minutes, the arch was 98% complete, but that is when the bio-ship crashed through the Fortress walls. The team jumped out of the ship, with Robin throwing his bird-a-rangs and small explosives. Artemis began shooting her arrows. I stopped all of these weapons with my telekinesis and through them back. The dodged, but there was a big explosion, but it didn't do anything to the console or the arch.

Aqualad jumped and formed a hammer of water and hit me. I was sent flying for a little ways, but I didn't feel any pain.

"Wally!" screamed Aqualad. "Try to destroy that thing!"

"Got it!" screamed the speedster.

"NO!" I yelled. I ran in front of him and punched him in the stomach. Kid Flash was pushed by force right into a wall. Robin then jumped from behind me. He lifted his hand I saw his thumb press a red button. I heard a clicking noise and then realized that he had put explosives on my back. They exploded and I was thrown forward by the blast, but I caught myself and floated back to the arch. When l landed, I fell to my knees. I felt really weak for some reason. "What's happening to me?"

The team picked up that something was wrong, and attacked. Miss Martian came out of the ship and mentally picked me up and threw me at a crystal pillar. Kid Flash ran towards me and punched me at high speeds until I pushed him away. Aqualad grabbed me and sent a surge of electricity through me. It hurt, but I felt slightly better afterwards. I grabbed Aqualad's arm and tossed him over my shoulder.

"Activate energy barrier over the arch!" I yelled. The Fortress did as I commanded. I then brought my attention to the two heroes with no powers. Artemis fired more arrows but I dodged them. When they hit the barrier, they disintegrated. Before Robin could do anything, I ran behind him and grabbed his wrist. I put his arm behind his back and formed a blade with my finger. I put the blade to his throat. "Make a move and he will die!"

"You wouldn't do that!" screamed Miss Martian. "You're like brothers!"

"Correction- we were like brothers." I said. "Until Brainiac took me as a vessel and fused us. And if you think I wouldn't do it, you're wrong." Robin was struggling. "Now stand over there and let me finish my little project." The team went where I indicated. I let go of Robin and pushed him to the team. I turned around and was about to de-activate the energy barrier when I was kicked into the barrier. "ARGH!"

The energy barrier was causing me immense pain. I was able to turn around and I saw the person who pushed me into the barrier: Superboy. I gave a questioning look, and he lift up his hand. He was missing a finger; the finger that wore the Blue Kryptonite. I grew angry. So angry in fact, that I released a mental pulse that deactivated the barrier and blew the Team across the room. They were unconscious. I lifted them up and formed crystals around their limbs. I decided to forcibly wake up the team so I could get a few answers.

"How did you all survive the destruction of Mt. Justice?" I asked.

"We were saved by Miss Martian's telepathy." said Robin. "She put up a bubble that protected us from the rubble."

"Then Black Canary sacrificed herself to keep it up so we could get to the bio-ship." said Artemis."

"That doesn't explain a lot." I said. "But how did you save Superboy unless… you mastered Density-Shifting M'gann. Then let me guess, Robin took you all the Bat Cave. Speaking of which, how did you all like my fireworks?"

"YOU KILLED OUR MENTORS AND FRIENDS!" screamed Kid Flash. "FOR WHAT REASON?"

"They were the only ones at the time that could defeat me." I said. "Fighting the entire League at once had high probability of failure. And since I didn't know you survived till M'gann probed my mind. Now there is something that's bothering me; how did Superboy get over the sedation?"

"Batman had files saying that Kryptonite weakens Kryptonians and how Kryptonians under the yellow sun have a faster healing rate." said Robin.

"So we had to remove the ring." started Aqualad. "We tried everything, but we just couldn't. So we had to remove his finger."

"That explains it." I said. "Without the ring, his cells quickly went through the sedation. Well that's enough with small talk." I went back to completing the arch. After a minute, the arch was complete. "Everyone, take a look at the Trans-Dimensional Arch!" I activated the Arch and it started to glow. The space between the Arch made a red swirl.

"What does that thing do?" asked Miss Martian.

"Isn't it obvious?" I asked. "It will allow me to travel to other universes."

"There are other universes other than ours?" asked Superboy.

"Yes Superboy, there ar- AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!" The pain from my visions came at me again, and it hurt more than ever.

"What's going on?" asked Robin with some concern in his voice.

"MY VISIONS!" I yelled. "THE PAAAIIIIIINNNN!"

I saw the teenager that had the shape-changing device again. He was with his friends- the red headed girl and the black headed boy. They were just talking and walking, passing a sign that said Bellwood and that it had 30,000 people living there.

"I must make a connection with that universe!" I thought. "I must send a signal to their minds!" I then put a simple signal that the Arch should be able to find; the sound of a wind though trees. I inserted it into the three of their minds, and through them I was able to do the same with the rest of the town. My sight then became blurry and the vision faded.

I went to the console and put in the signal for Arch to locate. I figured that since this isn't a congruent universe, it will require a lot of power.

"Divert all of the Earth's power to the Arch NOW!" I said. The console began to glow again, and with my mind connected to the Arch, the portal opened. I was so happy that it worked, that I didn't realize that the Teams restraint broke. They got in their ship and powered it up. "Fortress, after I have entered the Arch, self-destruct so no one can follow me."

The console now began to glow red and the Fortress was shaking. I finally walked over to the Arch. As I was about to enter it, I heard the bio-ship. I turned around only to see the ship ram into me and push through the portal. I looker to my sides and saw what seemed like a vortex swirling around me. This vortex looked like a mass of dark red and blue clouds with lightning shooting at the ship. I looked at the Team through the window and grew angry. Since the ship was of Martian design, I figured that it must have the same aversion to heat, so I used my heat vision on it. I don't know why, but it didn't feel as strong.

After what seemed like a few seconds, we left the vortex and descended. I flew towards the ship as fast as I could and grabbed it. I ripped pieces off and attacked it with my heat vision again. I then spun the ship around at high speeds and let go. It and the team were sent flying. I then felt weaker than I ever had before. I looked around and saw a sky with many stars. I looked down and saw a town. I descended a bit and saw a sign. I couldn't believe my eyes, so I used my telepathy to find that signal. I did and I smiled.

"Bellwood." I said, with all my plans coming together.

I finally finished a story! Wow this took a while. To be honest, this was the hardest chapter I have written. Please tell me what you think of it as an ending. And as I made it obvious, there is going to be a sequel. Thanks to everyone who has read this story and those who have left comments.
