A.N. Ohhhhh geez, I'm sorry for taking a while to update. I wanted to come up with a story line I liked, and one that would let me further expand Ten vs Twelve and the rest of the world of Earth 42. This lets me do both, easily!

Firstly I'd like to thank my reviewer CrossoverFan for inadvertently giving me this idea, by suggesting a certain character who shows up in this chapter.

Enjoy the chapter!

Ben frowned, holding his hands up as he eyed his opponent, one Jade Chan who was grinning at him from across the room. Between them was Jackie, Max sitting off in the corner. They were at a temporary Section Thirteen headquarters, the previous headquarters having been destroyed by Shendu and the Demon King Piccolo.

Section Thirteen was being converted into a full time magical enforcement agency by the United States government, the first of it's kind, but resources were currently scarce, most of everything going towards New York City and the Ray Sphere blast that had decimated it, along with it's ongoing quarantine.

"Now you two, be nice, you're just practicing some forms," Jackie insisted, "This is not suppose to be a spar."

"Yah, yah," Ben said dismissively, waving his hand idly, "Besides, I'd kick her butt anyways."

"And what makes you say that?" Jade asked, raising an eyebrow, still smirking.

"Because I'm a bonafied hero!" Ben answered, "And you're not."

Jade laughed, shaking her head, "Alright then. Let's see how well you do!"

Jackie groaned as Ben barreled forward, Jade moving to the side and sticking out her foot, tripping Ben as he ran by. Ben hit the ground hard, scowling and picking himself back up, Jade just laughing now.

"Jade, Ben!" Jackie said, waving a finger, "Behave!"

"Oh, they're fine," Max said, "I'm sure they can play nice. Besides, it'll be good for Ben to lose now and then."

"I'm not gonna lose!" Ben yelled, turning back to Jade and throwing a punch now. Jade dodged the punch, then brought her foot up, stopping just short of hitting Ben's chin.

"Win," Jade grinned. Ben scowled and grabbed at the leg, only for Jade to move yet again out of the way. She spun around, letting out a loud "kiyah!" as her hand stopped short of Ben's neck.

"Win," Jade said again. Ben scowled and backed up, activating his Omnitrix.

"Well you'll see how well you do when I go hero!" Ben said, selecting an alien. Before he could press his hand down, Max had gotten up, grabbing his arm.

"Ben, no. You can't always rely on the Omnitrix," Max said, "And you especially can't be using it for petty reasons. It's not a toy."

"I don't see why I can't...I've saved the world! And the universe!" Ben protested, "I should be able to use it how I want."

"And you should know better by now to not use it for personal gain or want," Max chided, releasing Ben for now, "Why don't you go and find Dani? She should be outside."

Ben frowned, turning around and heading for the door, grumbling under his breath as Jade just continued to smirk.

"I...need...more...power!" Shendu roared, sweeping his arms across a desk, sending books scattering to the floor, before proceeding to slam his fists unto the old oak desk they had been on.

"Master, I can find you more tomes..." Hak Fu said, bending down to one knee. Shendu scowled. Hak Fu had been the only one still at the warehouse when Shendu came back, the others of the Dark Hand having fled what they assumed would be destruction at the hands of Piccolo.

Which would have been accurate, had not Piccolo been defeated by a young Son Goku and Ben Tennyson.

"No...these...books, can not help me. I am still strong, still powerful, even with most of my Talisman powers stripped of me, but it is not enough..." Shendu said, "I need...something else, something to add to my substance, to counter the weaknesses I gained from these Talismans, along with their strengths..."

Shendu paused, leaning back. He was currently in his regular form, having no need to pose as human in front of Hak Fu. They had moved to another location, an abandoned warehouse further inland and away from the water.

Hak Fu bent down to pick up the books that Shendu scattered, the demon dragon growling lowly as he looked upwards at the ceiling.

"Hmmm...perhaps..." Shendu said to himself, "They could work..."

Shendu stood up, his size shifting into a smaller form as he walked to a bookshelf. He paused at one, selecting it and pulling it out. Flipping through the pages, he stopped at one, smiling.

"Yes...Hak Fu! We are going out!" Shendu ordered, transforming into a human form in order to move about in public, "We will need some things..."

Dani sighed, hands in her pockets as she walked down the street, idly kicking a can. It clattered over the pavement, before it fell off the sidewalk and rolled into the gutter.

"Dang it..." Dani said, frowning. There were people around, so she just couldn't ghost and grab the can back. Besides, it was just a can.

She looked up, pausing as she looked around. She did not recognize where she was, having wandered farther then she thought.

"No problem... I'll just call the Antique Shop..." Dani said, patting her pockets for her phone. She pulled it out. No bars...

Dani groaned, putting the phone away. "Okay... no problem... I'll duck into an alleyway, go ghost, and fly out. Easy."

She ducked into the alleyway, glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention to the girl, moving down them for a bit, turning a corner and stopping.

Teenagers, sixteen, seventeen years old, dressed shabbily, a few of them smoking, hanging out in the alleyway. They turned as Dani appeared, and one of them grinned.

"Hey girlie... you get yourself lost?" one of them said, stepping forward, grinning. A tooth was missing.

"Ugh..." Dani said, "You really don't want to try anything, okay? I'll just be on my way..."

"Acting tough?" the teen said, spitting on the ground. He pulled out a pipe now, waving it in the air, "What are you, some rich girl who thinks she's all that? Hand over your money..."

Dani stared at the teenager, then looked at the others, who were preparing to surround her.

"Look, I really don't want to have to hurt you," Dani said, shaking her head, "But you're going to force me." She wouldn't need to go ghost to deal with these guys. Just a little use of her powers would be all she needed... Dani prepared herself, when a voice suddenly called out!

"Hey you bullies, let her go!"

Dani froze as a voice called out from behind the teenagers. They moved slightly, a couple of them turning, then laughed.

A young boy, about Dani's age stood there, attempting to stand heroically. He wore a red shirt with a white color, with blue jeans. They were dirty and a little torn, looking like they hadn't been washed for a couple weeks. He had dark hair, with blue eyes, glaring at the teens.

"Look, another one!" one of the teens laughed, "Alright then..."

He hefted his pipe, then ran at the newcomer. The black haired boy jumped and rolled, the teen's swing missing widely, the teenager stumbling forward and tripping over a garbage can, spilling it's contents as he fell into them.

The other teens laughed, the one on the ground scowling, picking himself back up.

"Stop laughing and show that kid he can't mess with us!" the teenager yelled. The others stopped laughing, then turned to the black haired boy, and ran at him.

The kid smirked, dashing forward as well, then slid under the legs of one of the teens, taking them by surprise. He hurried by Dani, grabbing her arm.

"Come on, follow me!" the boy yelled. Dani started to argue, but stopped, turning and following him. If he hadn't shown up, she could have just gone ghost, taken care of these guys, and been on her way... Now she was stuck with this guy playing hero.

Dani raced after him, stopping as the boy ducked downwards, sliding through an opening between a building and the ground, where a window use to be. After a moment Dani followed suit, sliding in easily, being smaller then the boy.

She landed, blinking in the dark, looking around, a little light filtering in.

"Shhhh..." the boy said quietly. Dani nodded, hearing footsteps. Soon she saw several feet of the teens passing by the window, and then nothing.

"Okay... so who are you?" Dani asked, turning back towards the boy. There was a flicker of light, and a bare bulb illuminated the area. Dani's eyes widened. There was a very beat up couch and threadbare blanket, some cardboard on the ground.

"... is this where you live?" Dani asked, looking towards the boy again.

"Just temporarily," the boy answered, "And my name is Billy. Billy Batson."

He held out his hand. Dani paused, then took it, shaking.

"My name's Dani... Dani... Fenton..." Dani answered, frowning as she looked around. "Look... I don't mean to intrude, but isn't there family or something you can go to? Someone?"

"...No..." Billy answered, "I'm an orphan... I ran away from my foster home. I'm going to find some place better."

Dani sighed. She really couldn't argue against running away from home. Vlad...

"Look... maybe I can help," Dani offered, "I know some people..."

Dani paused. Would Black and the others help? Sure, they had helped her... but those had been extreme circumstances. She was half ghost, a clone created by a super villain. Billy was just some average kid...

"Heh, don't worry about it!" Billy said, "I don't need any help. I'm going to be a hero! I'm going to go to Metropolis, and learn from Superman!"

Dani raised an eyebrow, about to ask how exactly he planned to do that, when she heard voices.

"Hey, they're in here! Those damn brats!"

Dani spun, seeing one of the teenagers staring down at them. He shifted, sticking his feet through, starting to squirm through the opening...

"Quick, this way!" Billy yelled. Dani turned and followed him, Billy opening a door and rushing down the concrete hallway. He stopped at a hatch in the floor, opening it up. Billy clambered down, Dani pausing for a moment before she followed him, closing and locking the hatch behind her.

It was dark again as Dani made her way downwards. It wasn't far, and she felt the concrete, turning and looking around in the dark.

A flash of light, and Billy was holding a flashlight now, illuminating the area.

"An old subway tunnel..." Dani said, "Wow..."

"Yup!" Billy grinned, "I haven't explored much of it, but there's got to be a way back up. Come on."

Dani sighed a little. This would be so much easier if she could just go ghost, but she couldn't do that in front of Billy. He might seem nice, but she didn't want to reveal herself as Dani Phantom. Besides, there was no telling how he might react.

"So... do you live with your parents nearby?" Billy asked after a moment.

"Errr... no..." Dani answered, "I... don't have a mom... and my dad's a huge jerk, so I came here. I'm... living with an uncle right now."

Partially true, and Captain Black was essentially posing as her uncle.

"Ahhh..." Billy said, quietly. An awkward silence followed as the two preteens continued down the abandoned subway.

There were lights ahead, and they heard voices... sounds of possible construction! Dani and Billy rushed forward towards the light.

Then, voices. Dani froze, eyes wide. One of those voices was very familiar...

"Here, Hak Fu! The power we seek is here..."

Shendu.

"Billy!" Dani hissed, grabbing his shoulder, "Come on, we need to turn around now..."

Billy turned to look at her, "What do you mean?"

"Quiet, there's a very bad guy up ahead," Dani said, "We have to run..."

"Who's there?"

Billy and Dani froze, and a figure jumped forward. Billy scrambled with his flashlight, pointing it towards the large red haired figure.

Hak Fu...

"Two children?" Hak Fu said, then laughed, "Hah! I feared it might be a challenge... I'll take care of you easily enough..."

Dani didn't have any choice now. "Billy, down!"

Dani shoved Billy to the side, focusing now.

"I'm going ghost!" Dani declared. There was a brilliant flash of light, and Dani changed from her human form into her ghost form. Hak Fu's eyes widened, and Dani flew forward, hitting Hak Fu hard and forcing him backwards.

"What is this interruption?!"

Dani cried out as fire came at her, Shendu striding forward in his dragon form. Lights were set up, some construction equipment stolen for the job. Dani gulped, staring upwards at Shendu. She knew he was weakened, possessing only a fraction of his former powers, but still...

"You..." Shendu snarled, glaring at Dani, "You're one of those brats, who robbed me of my Talismans! I will destroy you!"

Shendu roared sending a blast of fire at Dani. The girl focused, creating a shield of ecto energy around herself, barely blocking the attack.

Shendu ran forward, slashing at Dani, his claws going through her as the ghost girl turned intangible.

Dani floated upwards. She could grab Billy and fly out, turning them intangible. Call Black and the others... get help!

"Let go of me!"

Dani froze, turning. Billy!

Hak Fu had Billy by his collar, holding him up, grinning. "Alright girl, change back."

Dani held up her hands. She floated downwards, changing back in a flash of light.

Shendu smirked, stepping forward, then paused.

"No... you may live for now. I may need a suitable sacrifice," Shendu said. He strode towards where Hak Fu had been digging. Making a fist, he slammed downwards, shaking the tunnel. A few more slams, and the floor broke apart under his fists.

Shendu turned, grabbing Dani, the girl barely able to breath as Shendu leaped downwards. Hak Fu followed suit, still carrying the struggling Billy.

They landed in a well lit tunnel, stone everywhere. A large door was down the hall, but Shendu ignored it, turning to look at seven statues that lined the side.

Seven figures stood there, looking like they were made of stone. They stood on pedestals, a word beneath each one.

"The Seven Deadly Sins of Man..." Shendu said, smiling, looking at each one in turn.

"Lust..." a statue of a beautiful woman with long hair.

"Gluttony..." a short, rotund man, with a large mouth and tongue.

"Wrath..." a tall man, several swords strapped to his back, an eyepatch over one eye.

"Envy..." a short figure of indeterminate gender, with an odd hairstyle, like that of a palm tree.

"Sloth..." a towering, muscled figure, slouching over the others.

"Greed..." a tall man, who looked fairly ordinary, at least compared to the others.

"And Pride..." a short figure, who looked like a young boy.

Shendu tossed Dani aside.

"Watch her, Hak Fu. If she makes any move, kill the boy," Shendu ordered.

"Of course sir," Hak Fu smirked, grabbing Billy's neck tightly.

Billy gasped, Dani staring back and forth as Shendu held up his hands, beginning to chant in a strange language.

"Naal fin command do aan dovah, I summon fin seven sins do mun," Shendu said, his voice crackling with power.

The statues began to glow, the figures sparking with red energy...

"Billy Batson... Are you a hero?"

Billy's eyes darted back and forth. Someone... talking to him? In his head?

"Who is that?" Billy wondered, struggling in Hak Fu's grip still.

The statues began to move, taking form...

Billy gasped, seeing a sudden flash of light before his eyes.

When it died down, Billy found himself free, on his hands and knees, breathing heavily. He took a few staggering breaths, then stood up carefully. He gasped, looking around. He stood on a stone pathway, over which was nothing but stars. His gaze going upwards, he saw an old man on a throne, wearing a long white robe, accompanied by a long white beard.

"Billy Batson... are you a hero?" the man asked, picking himself up and striding towards Billy.

"I..." Billy paused, then sighed, "...No... I'm not. I can't stop whatever's happening... that guy... that... weird lizard thing... I dragged that girl into all this too. I'm not a hero..."

The wizard smirked, nodding his head, "Good answer. Billy Batson, I am the wizard Shazam. For thousands of years, I have safeguarded the Seven Sins of Man... Homunculi created by a dark and terrible being many millennium ago. The demon dragon known as Shendu intends to awaken them for his own purposes, and steal their power. For too long I have been without a champion to defend man against the darkness."

Shazam held up his arms, and Billy felt power swirling around them, blue eyes opening wide.

"Billy Batson... I grant you the power of the gods! The wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Heracles, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and speed of Mercury!" Shazam declared. Billy felt the power surge into him, gasping as he stumbled backwards.

"Should you ever need this power, call my name, Billy Batson..." the wizard said.

"Wait, I have so many questions!" Billy yelled.

"You will find the answers, in time..." Shazam said. There was a brilliant flash of light, and Billy gasped, once again finding himself gripped by Hak Fu.

What was that? Had it been some fear induced hallucination? But it had felt so real.

He struggled, and one of the statues, Envy, began to laugh.

"Oh ho ho ho!" Envy laughed, "So it looks like we're being freed!"

Shendu smirked, "Perhaps... but I shall take your power, for my own! I gron hin suleyk fah wruth own!"

The Sins suddenly began to cry out in pain, dropping to their knees. Red energy sparked from them, condensing in front of them...

"No!" Billy yelled. What had the wizard said? Call his name... His name... what was it what?

Billy struggled to remember, when one of the Sins moved. Wrath... His sword was out faster then could be seen, slashing at Shendu. The dragon roared in pain, without the Horse or the Dog, he could not heal, and he was not immortal...

The red energy died down, the Sins standing back up.

"Humph... idiot!" Envy laughed as Shendu grabbed at his chest. "But look... people to kill!"

"Lord Shendu, what do we do?" Hak Fu asked. He dropped Billy now, stepping backwards.

"We do not let them win!" Shendu roared, "I am Shendu! I will destroy you and take your power!"

He roared, sending a blast of fire at Wrath.

Greed was suddenly there, his body being covered from head to foot in some kind of black coating. The fire hit him, doing nothing.

"Nothing gets past my shield," Greed smirked. "You can't take us, dragon..."

"Billy!"

Dani had rushed towards Billy once Hak Fu dropped him, "Come on, we have to get out of here..."

"But... we have to stop them!" Billy said, "They're evil..."

"We can't stop them by ourselves..." Dani said, shaking her head. But even with Ben's aliens, the Talismans... what were these things?

"It's my fault we're here..." Billy said, "But if we didn't... no one would know..."

Billy got up, clenching his fist. The name of the wizard...

"There was someone watching over these things... He talked to me. Said he'd grant me his power," Billy said carefully. Dani was quiet, listening. Being a half ghost clone that had been stabilized by magic, she had no room to refute strange people talking to others in their heads.

"His name... it was..." Billy began, focusing.

"...Shazam!"

A brilliant bolt of lightning, Dani stumbling backwards as it hit Billy Batson. As the dust died down around the young boy, someone else seemed to stand there. A tall, muscular young man, with black hair and blue eyes. He wore a red suit with a yellow lightning bolt on it, a white cape with gold trim partially over his left shoulder and down his back, yellow armbands around his wrist.

"Woah..." Billy said, staring down at himself, "I feel... strong..."

"Billy...?" Dani asked, eyes wide, "What happened?"

"Heh... don't call me Billy... I'm a super hero now! Call me... Captain Marvel!" Billy declared, "Yah, that's it!"

Silence, the Sins, Shendu, and Hak Fu having paused, turning to look at the spectacle.

"The Wizard!" Pride hissed, the young boy glaring at Marvel, "Fine then... brothers and sisters, we should escape for now. Sloth... stay behind and deal with these troublemakers."

"Ugh, do I have to?" the behemoth that was Sloth asked, "It sounds like it'll be a real bother..."

"Yes Sloth..." Pride said. Shadows began to wrap around him and the others, and they disappeared into the darkness.

"Alright then... Ugh..." Sloth said, "Let's get this over with..."

In a flash Sloth was by the transformed Billy, throwing a punch that sent him into the wall.

Dani yelped, transforming herself into her ghostly form, flying backwards. Captain Marvel picked himself back up, only for Sloth to hit him again.

"You're pretty fast, huh?" Captain Marvel smirked, "Well so am I!"

He threw a punch, knocking Sloth backwards. Red energy sparked around Sloth, healing the wound as Captain Marvel came at him again in a series of punches.

"Speed of Mercury, you got nothing on it!" Captain Marvel laughed. Sloth growled, moving quickly and suddenly grabbing Captain Marvel, pinning his arms to his side.

"Such a bother..." Sloth bemoaned, then jumped upwards, smashing through the hole already made by Shendu earlier, entering the subway. He kept going upwards, smashing through ground, until they burst out into the street, into broad daylight.

People screamed, cars coming to a halt as Sloth landed, using Captain Marvel as a landing cushion, smashing him into the ground.

"Not bad..." Captain Marvel said, "But not good enough! I have the strength of Zeus!"

Captain Marvel managed to break free, flying upwards and smashing into Sloth, forcing him into the air.

He flew after him, unleashing a series of powerful strikes, hitting the Homunculi again and again.

Sloth hit the ground hard, hitting an abandoned lot.

Sloth groaned, red energy crackling around him as he picked himself back up.

"Such a bother... why can't you just die?" Sloth moaned. Captain Marvel flew down at him, hitting him again. Sloth stumbled backwards, then unleashed his own punch. The captain flew backwards, smashing through a car and landing in the street.

He started to pick himself back up, when Sloth was there, picking up a car. He smashed it down on Captain Marvel, again and again...

"Hey, let off!" Dani yelled. She flew in, firing a powerful blast of green energy, burning through part of him.

"Ugh... not another one..." Sloth moaned. Another crackle of red energy, the burn healing now, looking like he hadn't been hurt.

"He keeps regenerating!" Captain Marvel shouted, "We need to stop that, somehow!"

Sloth sighed, looking almost bored as he picked up another car. He tossed it at Dani, who turned intangible to dodge, the car smashing into another one behind her.

"We're causing too much damage too, we need to end it quickly!" Captain Marvel added, flying upwards to assess the situation.

"But I just got here..."

Captain Marvel and Dani turned, a red skinned being with four arms stood atop a store, smirking. He cracked his four sets of knuckles, along with his neck.

"Ben!" Dani shouted, "You're here! Any other help coming?"

Ben shook his head, "Just us for now... Of course, you know Jade..."

Dani nodded. Jade would undoubtedly arrive, Talismans in hand to help, whether Jackie and the others wanted to or not.

"Oh! You're one of those alien heroes I heard about!" Captain Marvel said, flying over to Ben, "Oh man, it's great to meet you! I'm a big fan!"

"And you are...?" Ben as Fourarms asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh! I'm Captain Marvel!" Captain Marvel declared.

"Right then..." Ben said. Before he could say anything else, Sloth had grabbed another car, and had thrown it towards them.

Ben leaped forward, punching the car back at Sloth. It hit the Homunculi, and Fourarms continued on, smashing his powerful arms downwards.

Sloth moved, avoiding the attacks, crackling with red energy as he healed.

"...I think I have an idea!" Captain Marvel said. He flew down at Sloth, grabbing the behemoth and lifting him, flying upwards now.

Dani flew after him as they climbed higher and higher into the sky.

"What are you doing?" Dani shouted over the high speed winds they were creating.

"What I have to! You can't follow me!" Captain Marvel shouted. He accelerated, pushing against the planet's gravity. Sloth was struggling, trying to free himself. Dani quickly fell back, unable to keep up.

Then... nothing. Captain Marvel broke through the atmosphere. His eyes widened as he turned staring down at the earth. It looked... so beautiful. So delicate. He couldn't describe it.

Sloth grabbed him in his moment of distraction, grappling with the red hero. The two fought, and the gravity of Earth began to pull them back downwards, hitting the atmosphere.

They glowed red hot as they started to plummet, Sloth hitting Captain Marvel away from him as he started to catch fire from the friction. Red energy sparked around him, trying to heal him as soon as he was being burned.

"Ugh... this is such a bother..." Sloth moaned, one last time as he fell. His energy ran out, and his entire body began to burn rapidly, soon only leaving a small red stone, which shattered.

"Heh...I... did it..." Captain Marvel said as he fell too. It felt very warm.

He started to black out, but focused, shaking his head.

"No!... not gonna die, I'm a hero now!" Captain Marvel declared, focusing. He began to slow now, the fire of the friction dying around him, until he came to a stop just above the clouds.

He laughed, finally coming to the realization that he was flying. He had been too focused on the fight to realize what it was he was doing.

"BILLY!"

Captain Marvel turned around, hearing someone shout. He paused, seeing a black and white figure against the clouds. He flew towards it.

"Dani!" Marvel yelled, coming to a stop by the ghost girl, "I'm okay!"

"Oh thank goodness," Dani said, looking relieved, "I thought... Ummm... that Sloth guy?"

"Taken care of," Captain Marvel said, "That monster won't be hurting anyone again."

"Good," Dani said, nodding her head, "Come on, we should get back... You can meet my friends. And maybe we really can help Billy Batson."

"Yah! Man, I'm really going to have to thank Shazam for-" Captain Marvel began. There was a clap of thunder, a magical bolt of lightning hitting Captain Marvel, and there Billy Batson was, suspended in the air for a brief moment, before he started to fall.

"Billy!" Dani yelled. She flew after him, catching the boy now before he got too far. "Are you alright? What happened?"

"I guess... when I say the wizard's name, I change," Billy said, scratching his head, "Heh... better be careful about that, huh?"

"I'd say so..." Dani nodded, flying downwards now.

"Ai ahhhhh, does Uncle's shop look like a home for wayward children?" Uncle yelled. Dani and Billy were at the shop, with a smirking Ben and an annoyed Jade, who was angry that she had missed all the action.

"Just listen to what happened!" Dani pleaded.

"We probably should, Uncle..." Jackie reasoned. Uncle sighed, slumping backwards.

"Fine, fine. Tell story. Then leave Uncle's shop!" Uncle said, waving his hand.

Dani and Billy began their story. When they got to the Homunculi and the wizard Shazam, Uncle quieted them.

"Shazam? The Seven Sins?" Uncle said, "No... this is very bad!"

He turned, disappearing into the backroom. After a few moments he returned, slamming the book down, opening up a page.

"Those Sins...the... Homunculi..." Uncle began, pointing to a picture, "They were made by a being of shadows... a demon called Aku..."

Jackie and Max gasped, the kids looking confused.

"It was about five years ago," Max said to them, seeing their looks, "the reason the Justice League formed, was because of this demon..."

"Yes..." Uncle nodded, "Legends say that the wizard Shazam crafted a magical blade, and gave it to a noble samurai warrior, who challenged Aku. In response, Aku created his generals, the Seven Sins of Man, using a powerful artifact of terrible power. The wizard Shazam imprisoned them, while the samurai warrior fought Aku. It seems that they have awakened now, thanks to Shendu... Shendu must have been trying to steal their powers."

Uncle sighed, closing the book, "They must be stopped... You say you fought the one called Sloth? You destroyed him completely?"

"Umm...yes..." Billy answered, "He burned up in the atmosphere."

"Good..." Uncle said, "Then there are six others that must be stopped."

"Uncle, what are we suppose to do?" Jackie argued, "I will call Captain Black. He will talk to the government, and they can talk to the Justice League. They handled Aku, they can handle these Sins..."

Uncle scowled, "Perhaps, but these are magic... Magic must defeat magic. And young Billy here has been gifted the powerful of the great wizard Shazam. It is not a coincidence he has come here to us. He and the others, will undoubtedly play a role in the fight against these Homunculi..."

The kids glanced towards each other, smirking.

"We can handle these guys! I've fought Vilgax, they can't be much tougher!" Ben declared.

"After dealing with Plasmius these guys don't scare me..." Dani added.

"The Amazing T-Girl will finally have a chance to prove herself!" Jade grinned.

"And I can be a hero, with the power of Shazam!" Billy declared.

A bolt of lightning, and Billy changed into Captain Marvel, knocking over an old vase, smashing it on the ground.

"Errr..."

"AI AIIIIIIII, NO TRANSFORMING IN UNCLE'S SHOP!"

A.N. Muhahahahaha! Did you see all that coming?

Now Ben, Jade, Dani, and their new friend Billy Batson/Captain Marvel are going to have to worry about some new foes... and of course, Shendu is still around!

Expect Goku to make a reappearance in a later chapter, along with them to make some more friends and allies, and the Homunculi will be showing up in various places, wreaking havoc...
