Waking up with the most powerful weapon in the universe on my wrist would make any world easy, even if it was the prototype. sees a sign that says Jump City. "F*CK!" The original name of the book is 'Omnitrix de la Justicia' and it is written by 'Sombra-Solitaria ' over on Fanfiction.net Also, Royalroad said I should post here that I am posting over there as well. Link:https://www.royalroad.com/profile/571217/fictions
The citizens of Jump City were enjoying their peaceful city sometime after the alien invasion, the workers with the help of their resident hero had been rebuilding the city.
However, someone was willing to change that, at one of the construction sites a battle was underway.
In a small explosion, a large body flew until it collided with an industrial crane, which was destroyed.
"Come on out you damn freak, I'm not done yet!" From the origin of the explosion a rather large man came out screaming.
He wore a green industrial suit, a pair of gloves, boots, and a carmine belt, his face was covered by a mask of the same color leaving his mouth exposed.
In his right hand, he carried a metal bar which gave off small electrical charges.
As the crane began to move, a voice responded, "Gartwaite, I suggest you give up before you hurt someone." A green hand was the first thing to come out, quickly followed by a body.
When the being came out, his appearance was visible to the few nearby civilians, he was some humanoid made of some mineral, four-pointed crystals stood out on his back, and his face was angular, presenting a large jaw and yellow eyes.
"I TOLD YOU, MY NAME IS DEMOLITIONING!" The proclaimed demolishing ran towards the being with the bar raised, as soon as he was close he tried to deliver a blow, failing in each attempt.
Releasing a small sigh, I transformed my two arms into a shield and mallet. "You're not leaving me much of a choice right now." Dodging his next blow, I attacked him with the shield. He received the blow with his face. However, he was quite resistant since he only stumbled a little.
"Fortunately Diamonds are just as resistant" When he returned the blow with his weapon I countered it with my sword, unfortunately, Diamonds are not strong enough to resist him, since my sword was destroyed.
[T/N: Yeah...because the Petrosapian species are silicon-crystal based, Ben was just a kid that could think of anything better than diamonds to compare a durable creature to.]
"Die freak!" Dodging his next attack I regenerated my arm, when his weapon hit the ground it caused a small earthquake which made me stumble.
"This is getting dangerous, we better finish it Garthwaite" Without allowing him another movement I put my hands on the ground and a second later large diamond pillars emerged stopping him in the air while his weapon fell to the ground.
[T/N: F*ck it! Diamonds are so weak in DC that basic superhumans can break them.]
Seeing that he was defeated I returned to my human form as I walked towards his metal crowbar "This technology is very powerful, I hope the police can find out where you got it from" Taking it I began to walk towards the police officers who had just arrived.
[T/N: OOOOOoooo! APOKOLIPS]
"Omnaz, I see you took care of the problem" The officer who dealt with these types of problems was one of the oldest in the force.
Letting out a sigh I responded "Yes officer, this weapon seemed to give him his powers, at the moment he seems just as powerful as any other human, the diamonds will disappear in twenty minutes" Giving him the lever I said goodbye to him after shaking his hand.
[T/N: Ok nevermind APOKOLIPS tech makes that understandable]
Greeting some people I walked towards a small parking lot, my goal was the vehicle that I had created for myself a few days before.
"-I still can't believe I found a Harley Davidson Iron 833 among so much garbage-" In front of me was said motorcycle, only with several changes to a normal one.
[T/N: Anyone got a pick? My dad has a Harley Davidson but I never got into the brand]
Instead of gasoline, that beauty worked with an inexhaustible source of energy, it was incredible what one could do with the right subjects.
A few seconds later I was leaving the parking lot, it was time for a break, or at least that was the idea until the communicator integrated into my Harley rang.
"Omnaz here, what's the situation?" In a flash J'onn's voice answered me.
"Omnaz there is a raid in progress, I'll send you the coordinates" As the coordinates appeared on a small screen I grimaced a little.
"I understand, I will try to get there as soon as possible, Omnaz out." Finishing the call, I thought about the fastest way to get there finding a single solution.
Parking I touched the Omnitrix, I knew the right alien.
In the blink of an eye, a black semi-liquid metal being with green lines was sitting on the motorcycle.
"Well it's time to work" In one thought my body began to melt as it began to engulf the motorcycle which began to change.
In a few seconds, it looked more like a mini Jet than an old motorcycle. "Well, let's see the speed of this beauty." In the blink of an eye, the vehicle left the ground and began to disappear into the sky.
----------------------------------------------------
Several minutes later, alien incursion site.
----------------------------------------------------
As I approached the coordinates I could hear the sounds of battle, when I finally reached the origin I found some big red guys fighting with Flash, Hawkgirl, and J'onn.
As soon as I hit the ground I separated from my motorcycle to run towards the first subject, he tried to stop me with his electricity baton however my body became semi-liquid falling all over his body in a second.
As he fought I came to an interesting revelation, he was not wearing armor.
The entire body began to change color when I finished coupling, in a second a body a little larger than his appeared while his friend's back was turned as my eye appeared where the face was.
"I was wrong, it's not armor, it's a body" When the closest one tried to touch me I sent him flying with one blow, the second one hit me causing me to slide a few meters away from him.
However, before he could attack me again, Superman arrived. "Back off," in a display of strength, he hit him into a building where they began to fight.
"Omnaz, is that you?" Looking down I found Flash and Hawkgirl both on guard.
"Yes Flash, although in this form you can call me Upgrade, these guys are robots and I can control them" Before anyone could say anything we heard a scream and an explosion.
Superman was in trouble and J'onn was joining the fight again.
"Less talking and more fighting" Hawkgirl flew in Superman's direction to support him while Flash and I went with J'onn.
The fight that had already been going on for a few minutes began to escalate in destruction when Superman was sent flying into a gas station, when we were going to counterattack a wall of green light prevented us from doing so.
"Enough!" Green Lantern had arrived, as he landed he approached the two red guys, surprising us.
"Green Lantern, your John Stewart?" that seemed to be Lantern's name.
"Yes I am" raising his hand the being spoke.
"Your ring" Looking up he looked at me "And our partner" I raised my hands which were transformed ready for fights, however, they stopped me.
"Boy, leave your partner, they're just doing their job!" As he handed over his lantern ring he looked at me, returning his gaze I strolled, once I was close to them I separated myself from the red being who stumbled a little before looking at me.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" It seemed like Flash had reached his limit.
"Don't get involved" While two of them were handcuffing him, the third guy spoke.
"You will come with us" It was at that moment that a yellow light surrounded them we could only watch without knowing what to do.
A second later they took off towards the sky, in a green flash I returned to my human form "Any idea what happened."
"Not at the moment, we better go to the watchtower" While we all obeyed Superman I remembered my motorcycle.
"Superman, a favor, could you take my motorcycle to the ship, I would waste time waiting for the Omnitrix to charge" Superman gave me a yes while he asked me what it was.
"Easy, a Harley Iron 833, it has the Omnitrix engraved on it" At my words Flash whistled in surprise while he asked me questions and Superman took off in search of my motorcycle.
-------------------------
A few minutes later…
-------------------------
While we were all wondering what had happened to Lantern, J'onn looked into space very focused.
"I sense confusion, a heavy heart" J'onn's words did not give good news, however, Flash tried to be funny.
"I could have told you that" While looking at him annoyed Superman walked toward J'onn who continued talking.
"Look at the stars" flying towards a console Superman asked which ones, and as we all approached J'onn indicated the place on the space map that had appeared.
"That's where he is, Ajuris 5 " Looking into the distance I couldn't help but ask a question.
[T/N: Yes...that is a real planet in DC.]
"Will our ship be fast enough?" As we walked to the hangar it was Superman who answered me.
"Yes, Batman helped with the design," accepting the words of the being from a very distant planet, I calmed down.
[T/N: ...Guys, please, he does not know about the DC Multiverse.]
Several minutes later the ship was traveling through space in the direction of Ajuris 5.
As we entered the atmosphere Hawkgirl asked the question that was on everyone's mind "Why would he give them his ring like that without a fight? It doesn't make any sense."
"John is strange that's for sure, but even he must have his reasons" Hawkgirl's next comment made me laugh.
"I'm beginning to believe that all humans are strange" When she felt Superman's gaze she continued "No offense to those present" While Superman calmed her down I couldn't stop laughing causing Flash to laugh with me.
"You can see that we don't take it as an insult, it's more of a compliment" While Superman touched the console he spoke out "Start landing procedure" However some shockwaves shook the ship surprising us all.
While Flash took care of communications I checked the damage to the ship.
"They don't respond to our calls!" Checking the stability of the ship, I noticed that the damage was minimal but was accumulating.
"It's very clear what they want, I'll aim the guns" I heard how Superman stopped Hawkgirl from shooting.
"Superman, if we're not going to shoot we must do something, the damage is accumulating, and the ship won't be able to hold on forever!" Getting up he left the controls.
"Omnaz, you and Flash land the ship, and the rest of us will stop the shooting." As I watched the three leave, I got up to get to the controls where Flash was trying to figure out how to operate it.
"Do you have any ideas?" Flash responded nervously as he tapped buttons like crazy.
"Of course not, I've never flown!" Letting out a sigh I held up the Omnitrix quickly choosing Upgrade.
When Flash looked at me because of the green glow I barely heard him "Hey what...?!" I quickly began to merge with the ship and in a matter of seconds, an elegant green ship began to fly around the planet.
"I'm looking for a landing zone, hold on" Out of surprise Flash sat up quickly as the ship moved quickly.
"A...Are you okay, I mean, are you the ship now?" Finding a place thanks to the lack of shooting, I answered.
"Yes and no, Upgrade allows me to combine with all technology, I manipulate it and improve it but I am still me, so I am not at risk if what I possess is destroyed" Accepting my words Flash prepared himself when the ship began to land.
As soon as I touched the ground I separated from it, standing in front of Flash "Perfect landing" A moment later he ran towards the exit hatch where he was greeted with gunshots.
"We are not alone!" While he was returning, I looked at the console and found several guys who were fighting with the others.
Touching the Omnitrix I became me again "The others are taking care of it" In a matter of seconds everything was over, so we both left the ship.
"Now we just have to find Lantern" Luckily J'onn had that covered.
"Lantern should be over there," following his gaze we saw a large building in the distance.
"Come on, we better get moving." Superman carried me while J'onn carried Flash, and Hawkgirl followed us.
Superman was fast so in a matter of a minute we were in front of the building where he cut a hole with his heat vision.
The place was full of beings, and while the handcuffed Lantern was in front of a screen with three faces, our entrance seemed to cause a commotion.
While we were listening to the order being called, we noticed that we were in some kind of trial.
"Take out the intruders!" two beings obeyed the order as they tried to hold Superman, being sent flying with ease.
As the red robots were getting ready to attack Superman spoke "Wait, we apologize for interrupting this process but John Stewart is our friend" one of the faces on the screen spoke.
"This is a public trial," another continued.
"They can very well stay, but they will watch from the gallery, but one intervention, and they will be judged." Accepting, we began to move to go up to the gallery.
Having found seats a few minutes later we paid attention as the trial continued.
When the witness who turned out to be a pirate recounted the crime I was quite surprised by the damage that Lantern's power could do.
One bad shot and a planet was destroyed.
After the testimony, a break was ordered so we could approach John to talk to him.
Flash arriving first spoke "I understood everything, you wanted to clear your name that's why you turned yourself in" However Lantern was upset.
"I told them not to intervene," Hawkgirl ignored him as she watched the witness leave.
"It's obvious that this criminal is lying, give me five minutes with him and he'll shout the truth" John's voice sounded annoyed again.
"Hawkgirl, everyone, listen to me! He didn't lie, you've seen it." Following his gaze we saw a large number of inert asteroids. "I did it, I'm guilty." They weren't asteroids, they were the remains of the destroyed planet.
Minutes after John's confession, the five of us were analyzing the situation.
"Three million victims, I still can't believe it" Superman was just as incredulous as Flash.
"Me neither" Walking away he continued speaking "I want to investigate in detail what happened."
"Why? John admitted his guilt, no one says it wasn't him." I was a little surprised by Hawkgirl's simple way of thinking.
"Maybe I do," returning to us Superman approached J'onn and me "J'onn, Omnaz I want you to come with me" Seeing no problem I accepted.
"Flash, Hawkgirl, try to buy some time." Flash didn't see the point of the simple request but he accepted.
Minutes later the three of us were returning to the ship.
"What do you hope to find on the moon?" J'onn asked, apparently Superman had suspicions about him.
"I don't know yet, but something is bothering me…I think" he sounded a little like Batman.
"Your intuition"
"Exactly Omnaz" Returning the smile I couldn't avoid my last comment as we boarded the ship.
"I learned from Batman" A moment later the three of us shared an amused smile.
While the two of them went to the controls I decided to take my designated place as a passenger, I still hadn't completely learned how to fly.
Thanks to the speed of the ship we reached the moon in a matter of minutes.
"I'm surprised that Batman created a space suit leaving room to use my Omnitrix" My suit had an opening to place my watch without letting oxygen escape.
"Batman is very meticulous with what he does, come on we must hurry" J'onn and I followed Superman as he began to walk on the moon.
A few meters away from the ship Superman stopped. "Don't you notice something strange?" I could only look at the ground. The truth was I had no idea what he meant, but J'onn did.
"Yes, how is it possible that the moon is orbiting a planet that does not exist" That caught my attention.
[T/N: ...the moon does take some time to change orbit, especially if there are no other astral bodies close to it.]
"Wait! What do you mean, please explain to me." Superman looked at me before speaking.
"The moon must have exploded when the planet was destroyed" which made me understand.
"And since it's still here, it means something very strange is happening." Superman rose a little from the ground.
"Let's separate, Omnaz, you stay close to J'onn, although your suit has thrusters I don't want you to get lost in space, look for anything strange," agreeing to activate the thrusters of my suit while J'onn began to fly.
Seconds later we had separated from Superman.
"I wonder how you keep a moon in orbit when no such orbit exists?" looking at the sky J'onn replied.
"That's what we're going to find out" It was time to explore the entire moon.
Sometime later, while we were passing through a crack in the moon, J'onn detected something.
"Omnaz wait, I think I saw something, follow me" Following him we went down to the crack, finding a huge machine attached to the wall of the moon.
"That's not natural." J'onn looked at his intercom when Superman's voice rang.
"J'onn, did you find anything?" looking at me and then at the machine he responded.
"We found something, but we don't know exactly what it is, I'll activate the suit's signal." A minute after turning it on, Superman arrived flying.
"What do you think that machine is?" As I approached I listened to the conversation between them.
"When I was a kid we had little toys called illusions, they projected images onto objects and empty spaces." That technology sounded pretty impressive for a toy.
"Do you think it's a bigger version?" playing with the machine I heard J'onn's response.
"The engineering designs seem similar, which would explain why this moon is still intact." Listening enough I started to choose Upgrade.
"If you don't mind, I'll check." A second before touching the Omnitrix, a shot hit J'onn, hurting him while Superman and I looked at the sky.
The next shot hit Superman so I quickly transformed, it was at the right time since a third shot caused rocks to fall on the three of us.
As I started to get out of my Upgrade-shaped suit I heard Superman yell "Omnaz! Are you okay?!" Coming out between the cracks I stood in front of him.
"Yes, I barely had time to transform, I will join the machine to prevent it from being destroyed" Without waiting for a response I threw myself on the machine, however, I was surprised when I noticed that it took me a bit of work to join the technology.
"Any problem...?" creating an eye I looked at J'onn, Superman seemed to have gone to help the ship that had appeared to defend us from the attack.
"You can call me Upgrade J'onn, and it's taking me a while since this technology is quite advanced, but I'll make it." In the blink of an eye, I returned to my task.
[T/N: A Galvanic Mechmorph can tamper with the Omnitrix, they can tamper with Galvin Tech, but DC can not be that much harder.]
Several minutes later when I was in the middle of work, Superman returned with the witness from John's trial, the ship that helped us turned out to be piloted by Hawkgirl.
While I listened to the conversation my work was still in progress.
When she explained who was behind everything I was a little surprised.
"J'onn and I will return to our witness" Superman took the alien before looking at Hawkgirl "Stay with Upgrade, when we give you the signal, tell him to turn off the machine, don't destroy it, it will serve as proof" Seconds later the three left.
"Is it difficult to assimilate?" Almost crushing the machine I responded.
"It's like a puzzle that you've already completed once, it's tedious but not difficult." I hurriedly continued my work.
Sometime later, when the machine was in my control, I dedicated myself to studying the plans while waiting for Superman's signal.
"Upgrade, it's time to turn it off!" Listening to the signal I turned off the machine with a thought, a second later a blue planet appeared where there was a large group of rocks before.
Finishing my task, I separated from it to move towards Hawkgirl's ship where she was beginning to hover.
"Come on, we should go get some people before we go help the others" Entering my suit I returned to my human form.
"Ok, let's go" When we returned to Ajuris five I waited in the ship while she left, when she returned I was surprised to see her surrounded by some green lanterns.
"They will help us" Showing them the signal from Superman's communicator, the Lanterns cheered up, very surprised by the coordinates.
"Come on kid, I'll take you" The biggest Lantern wrapped me in a sphere of light to follow his companions and Hawkgirl.
The lanterns were equal to or faster than our ship, in a matter of minutes we found ourselves arriving at a planet that was in battle.
As we approached, I managed to identify our companions who were fighting against the red robots. "Hey big guy, is there oxygen in the atmosphere yet?" He blinked at me before answering.
"My name is Kilowatt dwarf and there is already oxygen" Smiling I chose the heavyweight of my aliens, and in a flash, there was no longer a human next to Kilowatt.
"I apologize Kilowatt, my name is Four Arms, I'm not a dwarf and I would like to go now" Without saying anything the bubble disappeared so I prepared myself for the fall.
The robots below never stood a chance as a red giant crushed them easily.
Fighting the robots was no problem for Four Arms, however, there were too many of them so no matter how many he finished, more continued to arrive.
When I saw Flash stumble and about to be attacked from the sky I opened my arms "Don't get up Flash!" Fortunately, he obeyed me since in a double clap a powerful air current destroyed his attackers.
I jumped up to him to see how he was feeling. "How are you feeling?" Releasing a groan, he slowly stood up.
"Good, but there are too many of them, this will take us..." an explosion silenced him while a large being left the main building, preparing to attack. I could only blink as I saw how it disappeared.
"That was anticlimactic" seemed to be the end of the battle since the robots were finished, all that was left was to wait for John.
Meanwhile, Kilowatt approached me "Boy, I don't know what you are, but there's no doubt about your strength." A moment later he offered me his hand so I smiled and accepted it.
"Likewise Kilowatt" I let him go back to his friends while I went back to mine.
Minutes later John returned to us after finishing talking with the other lanterns.
"Are you okay?" Lantern looked at J'onn before speaking.
"You believed in me when even I didn't." approaching the Flash spoke.
"That's what friends are for" Lantern surprisingly smiled at Flash, a moment later he looked at his glowing ring before pointing it at the sky.
"Let's go home!" A second later the sphere rose into the air, disappearing into space.
---------------------------
Days later, Jump City.
---------------------------
Jump City was having a quiet day, or at least it was until a huge pillar of ice attacked a money truck.
The truck was left with its engine running while a person approached the rear doors.
The attacker was a man dressed in a blue and white winter suit, in his hand he carried a gun from which ice seemed to emanate.
"But look what we have here, easy money" As he shot at the doors freezing them he destroyed them with one blow "It's nice to have a job without that annoying loose mouth Flash."
"Flash would be offended if he heard how you talked about him." Turning quickly, the subject fired his pistol at the origin of the voice, causing a powerful blue beam to hit him squarely.
When he looked at his handiwork he and some civilians found Heatblast encased in a rather thick pillar of ice.
"HA! Just like Flash, all words" Ignoring his work he did not witness how Heatblast's body began to glow causing the ice to begin to melt, a moment later all the ice disappeared in a giant column of fire.
"That wasn't very nice...Commander cold? I don't remember your name" The guy turned around annoyed while listening to me speak.
"It's Captain Cold freak!" Seeing that he was pointing his gun at me, I raised my hands at the exact moment, his freezing beam collided with my flames.
The clash of attacks caused a large amount of steam, however it seemed that the ice weapon was beginning to win over the flames.
"That weapon is quite powerful, unfortunately for Cold so am I." Concentrating, I caused the flames to grow in power and in a few seconds they surpassed the beam.
As a result, the weapon exploded into ice freezing Captain Cold's hand and making him scream.
As I watched him kneel I began to get closer "Okay Captain, it's time for you to go back to jail" Reducing my temperature to a minimum I gave him a backhand that knocked him out.
Having finished walking towards the block of ice to touch it with my flaming hands, I slowly began to increase the temperature.
The result was that the block began to melt little by little, in a matter of a few minutes the truck was on the ground with a giant hole where the engine should be.
Returning to my human form in a flash I approached the cabin of the truck finding the two knocked out guards.
While I began to take them out I heard some patrols approaching, when they arrived at the area they were both outside the truck.
"Omnaz, what a joy to see you here" Looking at the officers I could only point to Captain Cold.
"His name is Captain Cold, he is a villain from Central City, I don't think he would cause problems without his ice weapon" As he spoke they began to help with the guards.
"We understand, we'll take care of it, you can go in case there are more emergencies." Accepting his words, I began to walk towards my motorcycle while talking into my communicator.
"Omnaz to Watchtower, I need communication with Flash" To my surprise it was Batman who answered.
"This is Watchtower, communication in progress." Before the communication was cut off, I decided to ask what he was doing there.
"Thanks, Batman, by the way. Where is J'onn? He usually handles communications." For a moment I thought he wouldn't say anything, but he answered me.
"J'onn, Superman, Lantern, and Wonder Woman responded to the call for help from a Nuclear Submarine" A moment later the communication with the Watchtower ended leaving me in the process of talking to Flash.
"Hello there, Flash speaking! What's going on Omnaz, do you want that race?" Listening to his comment made me roll my eyes as I drove around town.
"No Flash, I just want you to know that Captain Cold attacked Jump City, the police already have him but I don't know if your city will come for him or you" That seemed to surprise Flash.
"Wait Captain Cold's in your city, that just hurt my feelings! I thought what we had was personal" At those words I couldn't help but agree with a little.
"You tell me, I don't have personal villains, only those of one of the League members come here, well forget it if you can, please take care of him, a few days ago I unlocked an alien and I need to train with him" at that revelation Flash got excited.
"New alien! Great, I hope to see you soon, Flash out." Finishing the call, I began to drive towards the city garbage dump.
A few minutes later I was inside the dumpster selecting a new image in the Omnitrix.
"It's kind of ironic who I'm facing considering what I'm going to become." In a flash, my form disappeared.
[T/N: If this is F*cking Fasttrack!]
-------------------
A week later…
-------------------
I was taking a short break after saving some people from an earthquake when I heard a police alert that made me let out an annoyed sigh.
"Attention all units, the criminal known as Bane was seen near the city dock, he is not there, just be careful" I now had a little regret for having linked the police radio to my Harley.
As I headed to the area I decided to try and talk to Batman "Omnaz to Batman, do you hear me?" A moment later his voice responded.
"What do you need?" It was easy to talk to Batman when he was so direct.
"Bane was seen in Jump City, any advice" Batman's intercom was silent for a moment.
"He's strong, not at the level of Superman, but unlike him, he knows how to fight, be very careful" Well at least he thought he could beat him.
"Thank Batman, Omnaz out" A few meters from the docks I got out of my vehicle while touching the Omnitrix.
"-Let's see who's stronger.-" In a flash, the huge form of Four Arms was ready to jump.
In one jump I ended up reaching the dock, which was full of people dressed in black with white-painted masks.
"I'll ask you to surrender peacefully" Those who had not seen me had now heard me so they all began to shoot at me without hesitation.
Covering my eyes with one arm, I clapped, causing a shock wave that knocked down most of them. When I was getting ready to jump against a group, a voice stopped me.
"Stop it, I'll take care of the red chico!" Looking for the source I found a thin guy with a black leotard, he wore a black and white mask, the most interesting thing was the glove on his arm which had a red tube that went directly to his head.
"Bane I guess" Waiting for an answer that didn't come I continued "You know I wonder, why are the enemies of my companions coming to a city that they don't care about?" Bane didn't say anything he just smiled as he touched a button on his glove.
In a few moments, his body grew considerably, gaining a lot of muscle, a moment later he jumped towards me.
"Damn" Using two of my arms I stopped him in the air, however, the floor under my feet broke from the force of the blow, before I could return the blow he kicked me causing me to skid a few meters away from him.
"Good resistance, chico," jumping, he attacked me again, however, I moved, intercepting his attack halfway.
The crash caused a small wave, while holding his arms I left him open to a direct blow to the chest, lifting him off the ground, another blow raised him higher.
However, the third he stopped with his leg, although that did not prevent him from flying until he collided with a container, destroying it.
"What do you say about my strength?" A large piece of metal was my only response as I quickly dodged it.
A second later I had Bane running towards me quite quickly, so I couldn't avoid the blow he threw at me, the blow hit me squarely in the face, sending me flying through a container.
Witnesses were shocked to see Four Arms pass through three containers before crashing into a building, collapsing it.
Without Four Arms noticing, Bane spoke through an intercom "The boy is strong, I had to use all the poison I can tolerate to not faint from his blows" While the rubble began to move someone answered him.
"I understand, I'm waiting for my payment" A moment later he destroyed his communicator "Guys, leave with the merchandise, I'll find you later" When he finished speaking an angry Four Arms came out of the rubble.
"I'm going to break your skull." Jumping, I reached his side. This time I didn't hold back and the blows were with all my strength.
The first blow broke Bane's defense, surprising him, a hook lifted him off the ground, a right to the side stopped him and to finish it off, a backhand sent him flying against a crane.
Having calmed down I ignored Bane's men fleeing as I began to search for him in the rubble, when I found him he was passed out and in his thin form.
When I returned to the main street I encountered reporters and police as they surrounded the area, ignoring them I headed to the containment truck.
"Lieutenant Steel, here is your passenger" The blonde man in charge of the city's new containment agency just looked at me before making me notice something.
"You're bleeding" Touching my face I found a small cut on my lip.
"Nothing important now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go." Ignoring the reporters, I jumped away, reaching where my motorcycle was parked.
Returning to my human form I began to drive until the League's communicator rang "Omnaz speaking" Batman answered me.
"The entire League is needed at the Metropolis hospital, Aquaman has just been attacked" Turning around I began to drive towards the road that would take me to Metropolis.
"I'll arrive as soon as possible" Waiting for the end of the conversation I was a little surprised to hear Batman again.
"Any problem with Bane?" Annoyed by the memory, try to sound as professional as possible.
"No, it was over within a few minutes, Omnaz out" I hoped that would end the talk, which it did after a minute.
Needing to vent my anger I decided to drive normally to the city, it would take a few hours but if Aquaman needed medical attention I would get there in time.
-----------------------------
Metropolis hours later…
-----------------------------
When I had finally reached the city I quickly headed to the hospital where I was guided to the other members of the League.
"You're late" Ignoring Flash's comment I looked at Batman who looked at me for a second before looking at Lantern who was trying to wake up Aquaman.
"What did he do with the plutonium?!" Lantern Hit the tube which woke Aquaman.
"Plutonium?" Jumping, he stood in front of us while he removed the cables from the monitor.
"Yes, you stole it from the submarine." Lantern seemed very confident for someone who had recently been convicted for a farce.
"My orders were to leave that ship where it was" that seemed to bother Lantern the most.
"And you expect us to believe that!" Aquaman responded.
"Believe what you want, someone tried to kill me and I need to know who" As he began to leave Batman stopped him.
"Wait, I can help you, but you'll have to trust me." Aquaman looked at him for a moment before accepting.
---------------
That night...
---------------
Batman's plan was good, however, he made a mistake by leaving Lantern with me protecting Aquaman.
Watching both men glare at each other bored me.
"Lantern, I'll go get something to eat, I'll be right back." When he heard me, he looked at me with annoyance.
"We are on a mission, this is not the time to waste time" Letting out a sigh I begged for patience.
"You're saying that the powerful Green Lantern needs help from a child to take care of Aquaman," which caused him to look at the blonde man before speaking.
"Hurry up, Batman's plan has already begun" Without saying anything I left the room in search of a vending machine.
A few minutes later an explosion made me realize that the plan was in motion, when I found the machine I took my time in choosing.
Minutes later when I returned I found Aquaman leaving the room upset.
"Will stop me as well young man" Knowing that I had no chance in my human form I tried to be diplomatic.
"If you allow me to accompany you as a sign of good faith, I will not try to stop you." Looking at me for a second, he began to walk.
"Come on, I need to be back soon" Taking my chance I followed him.
Having found an emergency exit we left the hospital, seeing his haste I offered him an idea.
"Do you think we should take a vehicle?" Giving me a nod, he crossed his arms.
Fortunately for me, there were many cars so touching the Omnitrix transformed me into Upgrade.
Merging with a car I opened the door inviting Aquaman "Come in, his Majesty" Looking at me with distrust he got up slowly.
A second later I was driving at top speed toward the dock.
"What kind of creature are you?" Even with my concentration on the street, I answered him.
"I am a human with a watch that allows me to take different forms to help people, including Atlanteans" That seemed to calm him as we continued moving.
In a matter of minutes, we arrived at the dock so I separated from the car to return to my human form.
Looking at me for a second Aquaman asked me a very important question "Do you have a way to swim?"
"Yes, but I need a few minutes before using it" My response seemed to bother him so he started to leave.
"Wait! Could you take me, my mask allows me to breathe, I would like to go for any help I can give you" looking at the sea for a moment. Aquaman looked at me for a second and then grabbed my arm and jumped into the sea.
Ripjaws was fast but Aquaman easily eclipsed him, his speed was such that it created a bubble that protected me from the sea currents.
In seconds Metropolis was far behind.
---------------------------------
Atlantis, some time later…
---------------------------------
The city of Atlantis was a very beautiful place, while following Aquaman I had the opportunity to admire its structure, however, when we approached the palace I stopped for a moment, drawing his attention.
"What's happening?!" looking at the Omnitrix I responded.
"I would like to go unseen, I don't know what we might find there, with an invisible ally you will have the advantage."
Without waiting for his response I transformed, and in a flash, a legless being was in front of Aquaman.
It was a type of white creature with black stripes, and large claws instead of hands, that appearance surprised Aquaman who took a step away from him.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's me although in this form I respond to the name of Ghostfreak, I will become invisible but I will be there" and to Aquaman's surprise I disappeared however my voice sounded again "Let's hurry."
Aquaman resumed his walk, very surprised.
When he reached the doors he opened them violently while he spoke angrily "Orm!" Entering furiously I followed him "What betrayal is this?" While he arrived with his men I saw everything a few meters behind.
"No betrayal brother, I thought you were..." Aquaman interrupted his brother.
"Dead, no reason to plunge Atlantis into war, if left clear orders" Orm didn't seem intimidated by the king.
"I'm just doing what you would never have the courage to do" That ended up making Aquaman angry.
"Enough! I won't listen anymore. Arrest the traitor!" I was shocked to see that Aquaman's men did not obey him while they looked at their brothers.
"You heard him" Listening to Orm the soldiers pointed their weapons toward Aquaman.
"What?" He was just as surprised as I was, I decided to get a little closer in case he should act.
"You are the traitor! You abandoned your people to the will of the surface dwellers! Look around you, I am in charge now" Aquaman said nothing as he glared at his brother, I on the other hand was waiting for the signal to attack.
"For years I was in your shadow watching you leave Atlantis on the brink of ruin, but I won't take it anymore and neither will your generals" A guy next to Orm took the moment to speak.
"We should have fought this battle years ago, but he betrayed us by allying himself with our enemies!" That seemed to annoy Aquaman even more.
"Listen to me carefully, I don't care what happens to me but my family is important!" Listening to those words I noticed a hidden message while Aquaman launched himself to fight against his guards.
Unfortunately, Orm used his weapon to quickly knock him out. "Take him away." While I watched them take Aquaman away, I floated around the room. I had to fulfill Aquaman's request.
As I prepared to follow the men as they left the room, a voice stopped me.
"Orm, they say my husband is back! Is it true?" Moving my only eye I noticed how a beautiful red-haired woman arrived next to the usurper, she seemed to be Aquaman's wife.
Mera seemed to be her name and according to Orm's words, there was also a child, whom the madman had taken from his mother.
When Orm left Mera crying I decided to make myself noticed, being away from her I became visible "Excuse me Queen Mera" my voice scared her and when she saw me she was even more scared so I returned to my human form in a flash.
"Queen Mera, I do not wish to harm you, I am on your husband's side, he arrived a few minutes ago however he was betrayed and taken prisoner by his brother" Those words seemed to calm her down a little.
"If you are with my husband, why did you allow him to be taken prisoner?" walking slowly until I was kneeling in front of her I responded.
"It was his request, I am in charge of the safety of his family, of you and his son." At the mention of her son, she began to cry again.
A little lost, I just took her hand, drawing her attention. "Queen Mera, don't worry, I'll try to find your son, and I'm sure my companions will arrive to help Aquaman." My words seemed to calm her down a little and she stopped crying.
"My son...my little one" Letting out a sigh I got up to look at the Omnitrix, I thought I knew how to find the child.
"I have a way to find your son, but I will need you to follow me so I don't get arrested" My words seemed to give her hope as she stood up.
"Can you?! Tell me what you need!" Selecting the correct icon, I looked at it for a moment.
"I will transform, I won't be able to speak but I will understand you, I will only need something that smells like the prince" Seeing that she understood I pressed the Omnitrix.
In a flash, my human form disappeared, and in its place was an orange quadrupedal creature.
My new form seemed to surprise the Queen but when she saw that I didn't make any movement other than pointing my eyeless head at her she slowly held a blanket from her son out to me.
Using Wildmutt's superior sense of smell, I began searching for the child's scent, finding it in a few seconds.
With a few grunts, I made the Queen understand that I wanted her to follow me while I began to walk around the room.
In a few minutes, we were outside the palace with many guards amazed by the Queen's new pet.
After a lot of searching the trail led us to an empty hangar where we only found a piece of the prince's clothes.
That caused another bout of crying from the Queen, so returning to my human form I tried to calm her down "Queen Mera please, that means he's not here, but it doesn't mean we won't find him."
That's when something was heard on the radio that alerted me "Four intruders are being taken to the palace, they are believed to be surface inhabitants" That only made me think about the league.
"Your Majesty, I need your help, those could be my companions. Where could they take them?" Somewhat calmly she answered me with regret.
"Without the King, it is likely the execution chamber under the palace" That was problematic, with Wildmutt he had noticed the number of guards, and even with Ghostfreak it would take time.
[T/N: HOW?!]
"If I took you to your companions...would they help look for my son?" Hearing the pain in the Queen's voice, I did not hesitate to respond.
"Yes, with them it will be faster," once again determined, the Queen began to guide me to the execution chamber.
--------------------
Minutes later...
--------------------
When we arrived I was surprised to discover that the method of execution was only by drowning the enemies, fortunately, there were only two guards so I took the weapon that the Queen had provided me to attack.
The first guard never noticed the attack until the mace hit his head. His friend tried to defend himself but the momentum of the first attack was enough to knock him out.
The Queen ran to the lever to empty the chamber where the others were, so when it opened she took the key from the first guard to begin freeing them.
When the four were free and recovering I told them about the Queen's request.
"Aquaman's brother Orm betrayed him, and also kidnapped his son, I need your help to find him" The good thing is that the four of them agreed to help in the search for the child.
-----------------------
Sometime later…
-----------------------
We had all met again at the palace after searching almost the entire city for any trace of Aquaman's son, however we had not been able to find anything, causing the Queen to despair.
"We searched every possible place, however, we found no trace of the child or Orm" Where on earth could that nut job have hidden the child?
"We didn't find Aquaman either, possibly he is not in the city" Those words caused more tears in the Queen however a noise alerted us.
Through the door of the palace, a staggering Aquaman entered holding a small child.
"My love!" Running Mera arrived before her husband and her son, however my attention was on what was left of Aquaman's arm.
When he gave his son to his wife he started to fall so we quickly went to help him.
Minutes later we were in the medical area of the palace where Aquaman was receiving treatment.
"His hand, I can't believe it" Superman was shocked by what Aquaman had done.
"I told you he was crazy." Annoyed, I stopped him.
"He did what was necessary for his son, so I wouldn't call him Crazy" Lantern's comments bothered me.
"I won't be able to work any faster." Aquaman didn't seem at all bothered by his loss.
"This is a delicate job, Your Majesty, I cannot rush it" The doctor seemed accustomed to Aquaman's impatience.
A sound made me look at Superman as Batman's voice rang out.
Explaining the problem J'onn said "If this continues the ecological effects will be catastrophic" Lantern decided that we should go check it out.
"And what about the crisis here?" Aquaman responded to Wonder Woman.
"Maybe they're connected" That caught our attention, so Superman asked for an explanation.
"The thermo-reactor of the day of judgment, we designed it to melt the polar cap" That was very dangerous according to my little knowledge "I built it as a weapon of last resort to protect Atlantis if the surface were to attack us"
That confession left us even more surprised "But I never put it together."
"Orm must have armed it with the Plutonium he stole from the submarine" We finally knew where the lost plutonium was.
"If I understand, when the polar cap melts the whole world will sink, right?" Superman agreed with me, very worried.
"We have to stop Orm" Starting to follow Superman, Aquaman came with us.
Being all prepared we began to travel to the polar cap, however, I've thought of a plan to stop the melting.
"Lantern, when we arrive I need you to put me down as quickly as possible" My words caught everyone's attention.
"What do you have planned kid?" smiling I responded.
"I'm going to create ice to compensate for the melting" Hearing my reason they only increased our speed.
--------------
Polar Cap…
--------------
As soon as I touched land I transformed while the others talked to Aquaman.
It was just in time since an explosion indicated the arrival of Atlantean ships, which prevented them from noticing my transformation.
However, when a turret was going to fire again, a powerful ice beam hit it, freezing it in seconds, and causing it to explode.
Everyone turned around looking for the source and that's when they found a creature similar to a cross between a fish and an iguana, it had three dorsal fins that reached down its back and gills on both sides of its head.
"Omnaz?!" Lantern's question made me look at him.
"Arctiguana, this boy is new but perfect for the occasion" The shot of another ship caused everyone to return their attention to the battle while I stopped it with another beam.
While we all separated, I was in charge of freezing the nearby ships, since I was on ice my mobility was quite fast.
Jumping into the water I fired a beam freezing ships of the nearby Atlanteans.
While using the ice to move my goal was the machines that seemed to be guarded by something, however, it was that moment when I noticed that the glaciers were beginning to melt so I would need to hurry.
Moving until I was close to Lantern I spoke to him "Lantern, I'll need support, it's time to stop the melting!" waiting for him to follow me to reach a location close to the melting glaciers.
Taking a deep breath I began to freeze everything around me while the Lantern protected me from the gunshots.
The machine and I melted and froze then I at more or less the same pace, however, I had the disadvantage of having to take a breath from time to time.
"Arctiguana, Batman needs my help I must go!" Stopping shooting, I looked at him to shake my head and watch him fly away quickly.
A shot that was going directly at me was stopped by Superman who destroyed it with his heat vision "I'll cover you."
[T/N: really, what can Lantern do that Superman couldn't do.]
"Thank you"
It seemed like the machine would never stop when I noticed that the caps stopped destroying themselves, so I stopped for a moment.
"Superman, is it over?" He used his communicator for a moment before looking at me with a smile.
"Yes, they managed to stop the machine." Releasing a cold sigh, I allowed myself a break.
"Thanks to you the damage is minimal" Listening to Superman I looked at him for a moment.
"Thank you to the Omnitrix for unlocking Arctiguana" My words only made him laugh.
Hours after returning from Atlantis I was in the Watchtower eating something to recover the strength spent in the last adventure with Aquaman.
I was so focused that I was surprised to hear Batman's voice, "Can I sit down?" Looking at him, I invited him.
As I continued eating I waited for him to speak "I saw the security camera footage of your fight with Bane" I was so tired I just looked up.
"I understand that you are the youngest of us, however, you are perhaps the most powerful and I am no one to lecture you but you must control your emotions in battle" Looking him in the eyes I responded.
"I know, I could have killed him just because of that momentary loss in my emotions, I'll try not to let it happen again." Batman just looked at me for a few seconds before getting up and leaving while I tried to return to my food.
--------------------------------------------
The Watchtower, two weeks later…
--------------------------------------------
The Watchtower was so well equipped that it had its gyms, where I was doing some tests.
After the last mission where Lex Luthor had been detained, Batman had decided to fix my lack of equipment, so he requested my presence to give me a package.
Said package turned out to be a fairly light armor that protected my body.
The design was quite practical, it allowed me mobility as it was not bulky at all but it spectacularly protected me, it was the same color as my normal clothes so the difference was almost not noticeable, however, it had communications support included so I would no longer depend on the intercoms that could be destroyed.
"Move faster" Luthor had escaped from prison accompanied by another fugitive a few days ago, so most of the League was looking for them, however, Batman was supervising my training with the armor so I could learn at least the basics.
However, I quickly discovered that he was a pretty tough coach as he pushed me to the limit.
"You can stop" Letting out a sigh I relaxed.
"Finally, I thought it would never end!" walking until I was in front of him I looked at him waiting for his verdict.
"You know the basics of defending yourself in a fight, the next lesson will be held in two days," thanking him, we began to leave the place when a call alerted us.
" Superman here, Ultra-Humanite was found, I'm sending you the coordinates get here quickly" We started running to the Watchtower hangar.
As soon as we got on the Batjet, Batman set the coordinates "Don't push yourself too hard, even I get tired after training" Listening to those words I smiled with amusement.
"The dark knight worried about me, you flatter me" Without looking at me he spoke.
"I see you still have some energy, good to know for your next workout" That wiped my smile away as he noted that he had ruined it for me.
----------------------------------
Minutes later, Metropolis…
---------------------------------
Batman landed the Batjet on a building near where a group of police officers and reporters surrounded the city's federal building.
It seemed to be a hostage situation, Superman and Lantern went against Ultra-Humanity when we landed near the hostage.
As I watched Lantern go in looking for more hostages I heard Batman say "You're safe now" However the woman's response made me turn around in alarm.
"But you aren't" Batman dodged the blow that was going straight to his face, however, I could only raise my arm to protect myself from the claws that were going straight to my face.
The force of the blow sent me into the building, looking up I noticed Batman dodging an attack from a woman in the form of a Cheetah.
As I tried to get up I noticed that the Omnitrix was flashing yellow before I heard its voice "NEW DNA IDENTIFIED, UNLOCKING MATCHING ALIEN" I could barely scream being consumed in a green flash that caught the attention of Superman and Batman.
[T/N: LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!]
When the light disappeared everyone heard the roar of a tiger only amplified "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING WOMAN CHEETHA, YOUR SCRATCH IS NOTHING COMPARED TO RATH'S" In everyone's sight was an orange and white bipedal tiger, even with his arms in the air they could notice a claw coming out of his wrists.
[T/N: it comes out of the top of his wrists.]
When he looked at Cheetha and noticed her green eyes, a second later he jumped intending to crush the woman who moved at the last moment causing Rath to destroy the floor.
"Omnaz, calm down" Hearing Batman's voice I looked at him.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT, RATH WILL FINISH THE CHEETHA WOMAN NO MATTER WHAT!" ignoring Batman I attacked the woman again who was trying hard to avoid my blows, which destroyed everything in my path.
A few moments later a pink lightning bolt hit my back, stopping me from crushing Cheetah.
Growling he turned around finding a pink woman flying.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING FLYING PINK WOMAN, RATH WILL TURN YOU PURPLE FROM THE BEATING HE WILL GIVE YOU" I quickly jumped causing the woman to barely be able to stop me with a lightning strike in the chest that forced me to fall to the ground.
Before I could attack again Wonder Woman arrived attacking my flying prey.
When I was about to yell at her I heard a growl nearby so I turned around finding my first opponent attacking Batman along with a snake man.
Running on all fours, I arrived, taking the Cheetha woman with me until we both crashed into a wall.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING WOMAN CHEETHA, RATH WON'T LET YOU ESCAPE" Standing up Cheetha looked at me annoyed.
"I don't understand why you scream so much, you brainless muscle" Those words stopped me as I stared at Cheetah.
"You are looking at Rath's body even during our fight, that means..." Walking until I was in front of her I continued speaking "You love Rath!" Due to the surprise of those words, Cheetha barely managed to avoid the blow that would have hurt her.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? If you say I love you, why are you attacking me?" attacking with a roar before answering.
"RATH MUST KNOW IF YOUR LOVE IS STRONG, SO RATH WILL TRY TO BEAT YOU IN A FIGHT" Cheetha, tired, decided to counterattack with her claws, which did not damage Rath's fur-filled skin even a little.
Being so close to her, she couldn't avoid my backhand, which sent her flying against a wall. A second after her, I appeared trying to crush her with both feet.
However she managed to turn at the last second "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING MAYBE RATH'S FUTURE PARTNER, YOU MUST HIT HARD IF YOU WANT RATH TO FEEL SOMETHING" Cheetha's only response was a powerful blow that sent me flying through several walls.
When I stopped I stood up as if nothing had happened with a big smile as I watched her arrive "THAT'S WHAT RATH MEANT!, RATH SHOULD TAKE YOU TO HIS FRIENDS AND MAKE THEM KNOW ABOUT HIS ENGAGEMENT" faster than Cheetah could move, she was again charging through several walls until reaching where the justice league was fighting several criminals.
A moment later she lost consciousness "EVERYONE LISTEN TO RATH" The scream stopped everyone who turned to look as I showed an unconscious Cheetha "RATH WILL MARRY THIS WOMAN, IF ANYONE WANTS TO BE THE GODFATHER HE MUST WIN A FIGHT WITH HER!".
A second later a large amount of darkness filled the entire place, mowing down everyone, as quickly as it arrived it disappeared as did all the villains, which angered Rath.
While the others were looking for the villains, I began to roar while destroying the ground.
"Boy calm down, you don't need to freak out" Listening to Lantern I looked at him furiously.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING GREEN LANTERN JOHN STEWAR, RATH IS UPSET BECAUSE THEY TOOK HIS FIANCEE" Superman approached me while he tried to calm me down.
"Rath right?" Growling I agreed with him "It seems you have something on the Omnitrix symbol" Looking at my Omnitrix I touched it causing me to return to my human form.
"Well, what a headache," looking at the others, I apologized while J'onn called us when he found a wounded Batman next to a passed-out criminal.
[T/N: ...oops]
"We must quickly return to the Watchtower" While Superman took Batman we all got ready to return while Flash took the criminal to the police.
-----------------------------
Watchtower, minutes later…
----------------------------
While watching Batman being monitored by J'onn and Superman I took an aspirin to relieve my headache.
"The antidote to the poison is working" As soon as J'onn spoke Batman began to regain consciousness.
"Welcome, we were afraid we had lost you" Listening to Batman wakes up I approached his bed.
"Luthor and the others? What happened?" Hearing that they had escaped did not make Batman happy.
"Flash and I are going to interrogate Cooperhead" At that he tried to get up, only to be stopped by Superman.
A few minutes after Superman left I was standing next to J'onn while Batman used a computer.
While J'onn tried to help Batman with words, telling him that he was as useful as everyone else, he left the computer having finished his work.
"I'm leaving, unless you want to stop me" he would admit that he understood the fear they had of Batman as he stood firm before J'onn causing him to move to let him pass.
Watching him leave I decided to make a decision "J'onn, I'll go with him" Listening to a farewell from my Martian friend, I caught up with Batman as he arrived at the shuttle.
"What are you doing?" Ignoring Batman, I followed him until the ship began to take off. "I don't need help." As we entered the atmosphere, I responded.
"I know, but a lookout never hurts" As we began to travel towards Metropolis Batman spoke again.
"Your new alien, Rath, what's with his behavior?" I knew he was referring to the talk we had so I looked at the Omnitrix before touching it and speaking.
"Omnitrix, give me the available information about Rath" The symbol blinked before the voice sounded "DNA SAMPLE CALLED RATH: APPOPLEXIAN ORIGIN, APPOPLEXIANS ARE BEINGS GUIDED BY ANGER, THEIR PERSONALITY GUIDED TO CONSTANT FIGHT IS ACCOMPANIED BY GREAT STRENGTH AND AGILITY" well that explained a little.
"In other words, a tank with anger" As we began to reach the city did not save me from Batman's last comment.
"It seems that Rath already set his sights on someone." Looking at him I could swear that for a second he had a smile, but due to my embarrassment, I didn't say anything.
Minutes later Batman and I were in front of an old Museum where according to his tracker Luthor was staying.
"I'll go in alone, if you don't hear from me in an hour you can come in, but without being seen" Without waiting for my response he quickly left, leaving me alone.
When the hour had passed and Batman never contacted me I knew something had gone wrong.
"Well, Batman said unseen so I guess he meant Ghostfreak" A few seconds later I found myself entering the museum in my invisible form while trying to figure out where Batman was.
"It seems like he never entered, let's see what's under this place" Using Ghostfreak's ability to become intangible I began to descend below the ground.
To my surprise, instead of land, a solid steel wall was the first thing I crossed.
The room I had arrived at looked like some kind of warehouse with several boxes full of technology. "It's obvious that Luthor built this place a long time ago." It was time to continue, so I tried to go through the wall again, but I was surprised.
As soon as I tried to cross the wall it lit up for a second and then gave me an electric shock that paralyzed me for a few moments while I screamed in pain.
When I recovered my body was releasing smoke, fearing that someone could enter I turned invisible to quickly escape through the clean door.
"Damn Luthor, he's almost as good as Batman when it comes to long-term plans" As I flew down a large hallway I heard a commotion, moving cautiously to the origin I found Ultra-Humanite fighting Grundy.
Looking at the room I found Batman under an illuminated machine, avoiding the giants I approached until I reached him "-Batman, it's me Ghostfreak, shall I free you?" He only made a small sign letting me understand that no when the elevator rang as it opened.
I quickly hid when I saw Luthor with his accomplice.
"Stop!" The two ignored Luthor as they continued fighting of course until he yelled at them again angrier.
"Morons will kill me faster than kryptonite" they both apologized like two children which almost made me laugh.
As they headed to the elevator Luthor went with Batman "This is your doing, right?! But it won't happen again" Turning around Luthor spoke to Cheetah.
"Take care of him, if our friend causes more problems, finish him off!" Said the woman only showing her claws at Batman as she growled.
When everyone was gone Batman surprised me by trying to talk to Cheetha
"I have a hard time figuring out what an Anthropologist like you is doing with Luthor, Miss Barbara." There was no doubt that Batman was the best with women. In a single sentence, he had captured the woman's attention.
Several minutes later I had already learned Cheetha's story, all thanks to Batman.
However, when he tempted her to kiss him, something in my blood bothered me a little... I hope it was Rath.
A few moments later the kiss broke when Luthor told the woman to come up.
However she did not leave without one last comment "By the way, tell your friend…Rath that I don't want to marry him" With those words the elevator opened allowing Ultra-Humanite to relieve her.
"-I want classes on those Batman techniques-" With a small laugh I floated away from him.
"Ultra-Humanite, how much does Luthor pay you?" Fantastic is another example of Batman's abilities.
Sometime later I found myself in an empty warehouse while I was in my human form, the time of use with Ghostfreak had run out and with our new ally I could leave Batman alone.
While I was resting I was very surprised to hear Grundy's voice next to someone drowning.
"Luthor doesn't want traitors, I must finish you off." Peeking out from my hiding place I discovered that Grundy's victim was nothing more than Cheetha.
"Ok, I blow my cover or save her... hell if I didn't know her story I probably wouldn't do this" Choosing Four Arms I activated the Omnitrix.
However, I got a surprise when I turned into Rath, growling I came out of my hiding place, earning the attention of the two villains.
"Let me tell you something Grundy, why don't you mess with a cat your SIZE" With a powerful scream I jumped on him causing him to let go of Cheetah.
My attacks hit him squarely in the chest, with each blow his huge body began to be lifted into the air.
However Grundy quickly recovered stopping my next blows, the effort of both of us making us grunt.
Unfortunately for Grundy, Rath knew how to fight so with a headbutt I made him let go.
Grabbing him by his clothes I threw him against the wall destroying it, while he was traveling my ears detected another sound, it seemed that the reinforcements had arrived.
Looking down at Cheetha who was still a little disoriented, I gently took her in. "Cheetha, Rath is wondering if you're okay?" Returning his gaze a little more recovered, she answered me.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean I'll marry you" That caused my eyebrows to lower but I ignored the feeling without noticing the change in Cheetha's eyes.
"Rath understands, I heard your talk with Batman" A moment later the noise of Grundy running caused him to growl in annoyance "Hide while Rath finishes off Grundy!"
Getting up I waited for the giant's arrival, when he got close enough I released a powerful roar that was growing in my chest, which caused him to stumble, which I took advantage of to jump on him and hold him by the face.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING GRUNDY, RATH WILL TAKE OUT ALL HIS WRATH ON YOU TO NOT…NOT OPEN…NO CARE RATH WILL HIT YOU!" Using all my strength I buried his head in the ground, lifting it and repeating the action several times.
With no resistance left, I lifted him before giving him a powerful right hook that ended up knocking him out. Seeing him unconscious on the floor, something caused me to put my foot on him and let out a roar that made the room vibrate.
Leaving him I started looking for Cheetha finding her hiding behind some boxes "Rath finished, ready to go?" She looked at me without getting up.
"I can't walk...I need you to carry me" Seeing no problems, I carried her until I had her settled in my right arm, making sure she couldn't fall, I walked to Grundy to take him by the neck and take him with us.
[T/N: I bet you can't you bad little kitty.]
--------------------------------
Minutes later first floor…
--------------------------------
When the elevator opened what I found was the majority of the league with all of Luthor's accomplices defeated.
Superman was the first to notice my arrival "Rath I'm glad you're okay, I see you beat Grundy and Cheetha" When Lantern took hold of Grundy I left him however when Wonder Woman tried to take Cheetha I let out an involuntary growl stopping her and gaining attention of all the others.
"Calm down boy, you have to drop me, I'm not worth enough for you to get into trouble" Watching her jump from me to stand next to Wonder Woman my eyebrows lowered, and in a moment of lucidity, I touched the Omnitrix returning to my human form.
[T/N: AWWW! POOR BABY!]
"Rath, he's very difficult to control" Completely tired I sat on the floor ignoring the others.
-----------------
Hours later…
-----------------
When the police arrived for the criminals I decided to decline the others' offer to get to Jump City, with what had happened with Rath I needed some time alone, however, I knew that this would be an everyday thing with Rath, at least until I could control myself better.
[T/N: FINALLY! That took so long! I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, it feels like I'm reading an entire comic/manga instead of just translating a chapter every time I touch this book.
