Infinite Justice: Beyond (Marvel,DC,DBZ X/Over, IC, Open)

[The Republic of Atria]

"Well. I'm not sure what you could do exactly..." She replied, then sighed and shrugged. "But I suppose I should keep an eye on you, don't want you sneaking away again. Plus we probably could use all the help we can get on this. It's a real headscratcher." She replied, winking softly as she suddenlt grabbed Roy's hand and jumped towards the computer. Though instead of smashing into it they both were electrically transported back to the lab. "Sorry guys, gonna have to break the rules." She spoke as she appeared before Val and Cora. "But Roy wanted to help us, so i decided to see if he could."


"True. Though we don't really need to take payment for that. And I think the idea of instilling people with hope is a good one. It's one I've tried to do myself for so long. Something I hope I can aspire to." She remarked. "It's part of why I have the no killing rule for myself. You kinda have to set an example after all. And if your doing stuff that is kinda like what the baddies are doing, then it gets all muddied." She commented. She then gave him a wide smile and another kiss on the cheek. "Well I wouldn't mind being surprised by something. And there are other ways to earn money with superpowers than stealing. Though meth labs kinda do have it coming..."

Suddenly the Martian got up. She frowned, staring at her ring before a long of annoyance came onto her face. "Stupid ring." She muttered as it glowed, relaying her the information. Her frowned increase. "Well. This is going to be fun. Seems like there is some sort of metahuman trouble nearby. No one's doing anything to stop it, so we probably should step in or something."

Nightmare thought for a moment. "I suppose we should. Does it say what we're dealing with?" He asked sitting up from the bench. A little exercise wouldn't hurt. Even if he wasn't allowed to kill.

Alex and Naja

They ate the food Alex had prepared earlier. "Yeah. So it turns out, Loki and Osborn tried to frame Asgard for an attack. Everyone found out that it was a fake, and we went to take them down, but lo and behold, they had an unstable clone of me, or something. He went by Sentry. Turns out the guy was completely insane and nearly killed everyone. But I got these cool magic rocks. So. How was Ultron and the Kree?"

"He's definitely a jerk. We found a way to keep him from switching bodies, so we blew him up. I also fought the Photon guy. You weren't kidding about him being tough. But if nothing else, I got to have some fun. Also, Kylie misunderstood me when I said that you find human women boring. She thinks you meant that they are boring. Not that you don't find them attractive. So she's gonna try and impress you. I think. I would have explained it to her, but we were kinda in the middle of a fight."

"It's fine. I spent so much time in space. I guess I'm a little picky when it comes to women." He snickered a bit and used his magic to clean and put up their dishes when they finished eating. "I'm starting to get the hang of this. Now. If you're going to be a superhero, you need a cool costume. I mean running around as you are now is fine. But it's more tradition than anything else. Besides. It's like in the animal kingdom. The brightly colored animals are the ones that ward off predators."

"You're smarter than you lead on to be sometimes. Be right back." She said and Alex blinked and she was gone. A few seconds later she came back. "Well. I found a few designs that I like... Particularly this one." She said showing a sketch she drew in the few seconds she was gone.

"Huh... I can do that."

[The Republic of Atria]

Alex studied the design she drew up for him. "Alright... Give me a minute. I haven't perfected matter manipulation yet. It takes some focus." He said and his hands began to glow as he transmuted the air around him into the spandex costume she wanted. It took a few minutes of looking back at the sketch and just plain winging it to finish it. The top and leggings were done in about 7 minutes. "Alright. It's spandex, typical material for these things. Try it on, if it's too big or too small, let me know." He said.

Naja changed her clothes quite quickly. She went so fast Alex thought he was going to have to put out a fire. She looked at a mirror and then back to Alex who sat awaiting her judgement. Said judgement was her practically squeezing the life out of him on the verge of tears. Even though she wasn't using her powers when he hugged Alex, being an Inhuman, she was twice as strong as the strongest human. Alex was just a normal human. So it was slightly jarring. And painful. "Thank you so much..." She said and put him down. "You really don't have any idea how I feel right now.

"Ow... And you're welcome. I don't? You look pretty happy."

"I am happy! Ever since I became... This." She said referring to her head and tail. "I lived in Attilan because that was the only place I felt normal. I wanted to come back here. There are plenty of weird looking superheros. People love Nightcrawler. How come people like him, and then give people like me the stink eye? Then, I met you." She said. "You didn't care what I looked like. You were this... Shining perfect epitome of humanity. And there you were with me. Listening, talking, treating me like a person. You even went as far as to give me powers so I could hang out with you more. I'm a superhero now. I live in a big fancy tower with other superheroes. And now, I have my outfit to prove it. For once. I... I like being me."

"I want you to be you. I want you to be happy. I have to admit. I'm happier now than I was before." He said and sprawled out on the couch. "Maybe after I get some sleep, we can go on an adventure together."

"I'd really like that."

[The Republic of Atria]

Both Alex and Naja slept through the night and were awoken by a knock at the door. Naja was still fast asleep so Alex went to get it. He opened the door to none other than the Man of Steel himself. "Superman?" He asked rubbing his eyes. "What's up?"

"Oh. I must have gotten the wrong room. I was looking for the Golden Guardian."

"Riiiight... News of my recent depowering has spread slow. I was the Golden Guardian. Naja has my powers now, long story, but she can help you. She could use some time in the field. She's a little strange looking, so don't mention it. Come on in." He said and when he closed the door to his apartment, Naja woke up. "Morning sleepyhead, Superman needs your help."

"Wha..." She said rubbing her eyes and finally focused to see Alex and the taller man in blue behind him. "OHMYGOD." She said. "Superman... Needs MY help?!" Naja was ecstatic. The Superman was asking for her help. "Sure!" She said jumping into her costume, opened the big window and flew out.

"She's... Excitable."

"She's also new to the whole Superhero thing. You're like THE Superhero. She can handle herself. She's every bit as strong as I was. I've got some meditating to do, and she could use some words of encouragement from someone other than me. Treat her right, I'll I'll... Erm... Dammit, I had a funny."

Superman snickered. "I will. It won't take long." He said and flew out of the window with Naja. Alex closed the window and floated just about his cursed coffee table and began to meditate on with his universal awareness. Nothing caught his fancy, with the except of Arctico and Frost. Something he would worry about later. Develop some spells to fight him. The Masakis caught his eye. Both Alasitr and Asumar were sulking because they felt weak in the face of danger. He felt bad and decided to help them out a bit. Alex sent his projection over to one of their computer rooms and warped there.

"Alright..." He said and used his magic to bypass their security and opened the closest thing to a notepad. It would have taken him weeks to type out what he wanted to. His typing speed was pretty terrible. But his Magic wasn't. It took about a minute to get the formula for his Sentry Serum onto it and then saved it for them to find. "There." He said and warped back home feeling better about himself.

[The Republic of Atria]

Alex watched the Masakis debate what to do with his serum. He was projecting his consciousness and as such would be undetectable without magic. The Masakis clearly relied strictly on their technology. This was to serve as his beta test for the serum. It worked fine by giving it to one or two people. But introducing it to an entire galactic superpower? If things got too out of hand, he could suppress the serum with his magic, but he wanted to see what would happen on a larger scale. If the results were good, then he would think about introducing it to Earth. He was slightly annoyed by their stubbornness, but then again, people refuse to accept change sometimes.

He was about to appear physically, when he found himself forcibly shunted back into his body which was seemingly floating in empty Space. Despite that, he was able to breathe normally. He was confused for a few seconds until several people surrounded him. All of different races and ethnicities. Some alien, some at least appearing human. Another, the smallest shortest one wearing a funny hat and sitting on a cloud. "Heya. Sorry 'bout the abrupt cramming your consciousness back into your body. I'm Dhklyx. We're your... Add a bunch of greats to Grand kids."

Alex blinked a few times. "Excuse me? What? Who are you people?"

Dhklyx sighed. "I forget that 3 dimensional being don't get some stuff. We're your descendants. Ya know? From the future?"

"I have kids?"

"Tons of em."

[The Republic of Atria]

"So... What's the problem?" She asked as they flew along the surface of the planet.

"Doomsday. We managed to push him to the Sahara, but we need to get him off world as soon as possible. How much do you know about him?"

"Ummm... Big. Gray. Spiky. Beat you up that one time..."

"Yeah. But I learned from my mistake. This time I'm bringing backup." He said as they approached the rampaging monstrosity known as Doomsday.

"He looks bigger and even meaner than the last time I saw him." She said. "So what's the plan? Hit him until he stops moving?"

"That's because he's getting stronger. And bingo. Let's stop him here and now." Superman said and smashed into the monster, but was quickly swatted away by Doomsday due to his new evolution. Naja caught him by his leg. "Dammit..." He muttered and put his hand over his nose, which was bleeding. He looked up to see Doomsday retreating. "He's trying to find a spot so he can finish his metamorphosis."

"Don't worry. I'll take care of him." She said and left Superman standing.

"Wait! Naja!" He said but it was too late, she was already on Doomsday like stink on a skunk. She hit the creature in the stomach, following with a nasty uppercut which knocked Doomsday off his feet and into the air. She flew after him, but this proved to be a bad move as he grabbed the snake woman and used her to cushion his fall, not that he needed to, and then grabbing her and throwing her so hard she resembled a fireball. That was caught by Superman before she left orbit. "Okay. New plan. We attack together and keep him guessing. Don't use the same thing twice or he'll wise up to it."

"Yeah... Okay. That sounds less painful."

Alex

It was slightly, nay, very, confusing. His indirect descendants from thousands of years in the future came to see him? "Why?" He asked. "As in, why are you here?"

"Well. The short version is we were hunting a Chronovore. Time eater. Nasty thing." Said one that seemingly appeared to be a Skrull and wearing an outfit similar to his first one. "And we wound up here. This is a historic event in the history of the Golden Guardians. Where it all starts?"

"Where... What all starts? I have no idea what you're talking about."

"We can't say too much for risking damaging the timestream. But this is the time where you begin to build the Golden City. By the way, my name is Kl'wl." The Skrull said and tapped a device on his wrist for a moment.

"Do any of you have names I can pronounce? What're you doing? I thought the Humans and Skrulls were enemies."

"Seeing if what I can and can't tell you that will damage the timestream or not... Well. The short version is, you saved us from extinction. Showed us mercy and offered us a place in your city. That's all I can say. I can also say this: You get sick of how your intelligent humans have incredibly advanced technology, but they don't use it to fix the world like they should. So you do it."

"That's the easy version, Chief."

"I have no idea how to even build a city."

"It's easy chief! After all, we're the ones who help ya build it!" Dhklyx said surprisingly eager.

[The Republic of Atria]

"I think that thing broke my head..." She said feeling around her head for the fracture which was healing.

"He fractured your skull, but it's getting better. Alright. Let's attack from the sides. You get his left arm, I get his right. Then we both pull." Superman explained his plan. Which was to literally tear Doomsday in half. It was like putting a rabid animal down. They both flew at Doomsday, but kept their distance. Superman hit the monster with his heat vision to get his attention. Which worked enough so Naja could grabbed his left arm while he was distracted with Superman. He was going to hit her with his free arm, but Superman wound up grabbing it before he could. "Now!"

Naja flew in her direction and Superman in his. Doomsday let out a monstrous roar as his joints began to dislocate. In order to free himself, he jumped with all of his might, which cause his arms to be ripped off, but he was free. Naja and Superman smashed across the desert until they got their balance back along with their prizes. "He... Ripped his own arms off. Or let us rip his arms off. I think I'm going to puke." She said as the purple gunk leaked out from the end of Doomsday's arm. "So what's the plan now?"

"Find him and throw him out of the solar system before he grows his arms back."

"He can do that!?"

Alex

"Okay... That actually makes some sense. I could see me doing that. But building a city takes time and resources. Resources that I don't have. Nor do I have technology better than what Earth's best scientists have. By the way, how far in the future are you all from."

"We're from the year 852,135." Kl'wl explained. "We're allied with the Superman Squad. Dhklyx here is a 5th dimensional imp that was born in the 3rd dimension. He's not a pure Imp, but he's half, which still makes him quite powerful." He explained. "He has senses even Kryptonians don't have."

"It's cause our plane of existence is a few levels above you flatheads. But it's fun horsin' around down here. Don't worry bout a thing chief." the Imp said and put his arm around Alex. "Good ole' Cousin Dhklyx is here to take care of ya. We're just gonna give ya a quick kick in the pants to get ya started, then we're gonna head back home. The rest is up to time."

"I hope you mean that figuratively." Alex said as the Imp warped them all down to the middle of nowhere. Which was quite a shock to him.

"First thing's first chief. Location, location, location. Where do ya want the city? It can be anywhere!"

Alex blinked a few times. "Um... I guess someplace out of the way. Where no one can complain that it's on their land. Is it possible to put it in the ocean? Or better yet, above the ocean. A floating city."

"Sure thing! Atlantic or Pacific?"

[The Republic of Atria]

Both the heroes flew after the now disarmed Doomsday. Following the trail of purple smog wasn't too difficult. Naja shot ahead and tackled the monster to the ground. Without it's arms, all Doomsday could do was flail it's legs. Superman grabbed one and Naja grabbed the other, and using their incredible strength and blasting their eye beams full blast, they ripped Doomsday cleanly in half. "Ugh..." Naja muttered waving what she though was dust out of the way. "He stinks. So what do we do with the body."

"I'm going to throw it into the sun, oh, Naja. Thanks." He said and offered to shake her hand, which she took. "You'd make a really good member of the League. But I'm sure you've got your hands full with your team. Thanks again for the help." Superman said, grabbing the parts of Doomsday and flying into space to dispose of the body.

Naja flew back to her apartment, noticing that Alex was gone. Which was strange. He was usually good about telling her where he was going, but it didn't bother her that much. She was just happy to look at herself in the mirror. "I'm a Superhero... I teamed up with Superman... AWESOME!"

Alex

"I'd prefer the Atlantic I suppose... So you're really from 850 thousand years in the future? Am I still with Naja?"

"Oh yeah. Still lovebirds even then." The Imp replied and snapped his fingers, creating a huge chunk of land roughly the size of Texas, 2 miles into the air. "How's that chief?" He asked to the dumbfounded Alex. The Imp made Alex's thoughts visible for the others to see, but there wasn't much. "Huh... I guess that's a good place to start." He said floating over to Alex and poking him in the head. "Hey chief, wake up. We gots stuff to do. Now. We're gonna need buildings! Lots of em! And given your liking of the color, gold. I think that'll be the color of the city. Any objections."

Alex blinked a few times, coming back to his senses. He couldn't believe that the little man sitting in the air just created a mass of that that bit with just a snap. He knew what little that the humans knew of 5th Dimensional imps. But words don't do them justice. The imp was likely more powerful than anyone else on Earth or even the universe. "Umm. Yeah. Sure." He said and finally came to completely. "Okay. First things first. Homes. According to my magic, this is about the size of Texas. We can fit at least 30 million to start with. So apartment complexes, laboratories..." He paused, thinking about what about food, and water, and dismissed it when he realized that he was going to be gassing his citizens up on his serum. So essentials were simply extra.

[The Republic of Atria]

"I suppose a golden city would be-" Alex started but was interrupted by the sound of a loud beeping coming from Kl'wl's watch. "What in the world is that racket?"

"Oh. It appears we cannot help you from this point on. Not without damaging the timestream." the Skrull explained.

"Sorry chief." The imp said and opened a time portal back to their time. "Rules is rules. Even I gotta follow them. Most of the time anyways. That land'll still be there and floating. I made sure of that! See you in a couple hundred thousand years!" He said with strange glee as they all vanished. Alex blinked a few times. That was certainly an experience that would be hard to beat. He wasn't really sure what to do next. That was one of the strangest things to ever happen to him. Not everyday that children from an incredible amount of time in the future come to visit their great grandfather.

Strange suggested that if he wasn't sure what to do, meditating was always a good choice. It would allow him to, in a way, see what he should do next. Or at the very least give him something to do. Stop a crime. Help out in a fight. He teleported himself back to his apartment and floated in the middle of the room and focused on the universe. Nothing out of the ordinary. Naja celebrating her first mission with Superman by going to a burger joint. Still getting some looks, but some people began to recognize her. Which made him happy to see her finally getting some credit for being a hero.

Looking elsewhere, he found something that he had seen before. Or rather someone that he had seen before. The Saiyan he fought on Earth long ago and far away. When he still had his powers. Albiet they were heavily dampened. At the very least he was impressed that the Saiyan was still alive despite saying he was going after Frieza. Something Alex deemed a death sentence. He made himself visible. "I am honestly impressed. You said you were going to kill Frieza. I will admit I thought you were going to die and thought you dead for the longest time. I was wrong. I'm getting ahead of myself. You remember me, right?"

[The Republic of Atria]

As a new, clean set of armor appeared on Okarot, he responded to Lisa, "My name is Okarot, heir to the Saiyan throne." he said, his face growing slightly agitated, "I can tell he's awake. His energy signature has grown in power. Fortunately, it seems as though he's calmer than before. He simply attacked me out of nowhere. I assume that the Planet Trade Organization must have programmed him to attack any Saiyan on sight. The perfect machine for Frieza's plan to eradicate the Saiyans. But, clearly, he had not taken the legend of the Super Saiyan seriously enough."

Suddenly, Okarot heard a familiar voice. As he turned around, he smiled, "If it isn't the Golden Guardian?", he said, in a friendly tone, "Frieza was a challenge, I will admit. And, you would be correct in believing that I died, because I did the first time I tried to fight him. But, shortly after, a man called Mad Max used the Dragon Balls on Namek to bring everybody back who died to Frieza. In my second confrontation, Frieza pushed my anger to it's limits. And, it was at that point that I realized the legend of the Super Saiyan. Here, let me show you."

All of a sudden, a golden aura appeared around the Saiyan, and a flash of light flared momentarily, as his hair turned golden, and his eyes blue. "This is a Super Saiyan, and it increases my power by around fifty times," he said, his muscles growing slightly larger as a shockwave suddenly firing out around him and his hair spiked up slightly more, becoming less blocky and more defined. His aura became jagged and bioelecicity swirled around him, "This is a Super Saiyan 2." he said, a spark of electricity surging past his face, "It improves upon the former in every way. Speed, stamina and strength. It multiplies the last transformation's strength by two times, and my base form's strength by 100 times. But, I can still go even stronger from here. But, that form is new, and draws a lot of energy. I can't use it right away after using it so soon."

"Sadly, I'm not the Golden Guardian anymore. That title has been passed to my girlfriend when I lost my powers. Long story. I've since been dabbling in magic, and I must say that I've gotten quite good. Even if it's not as satisfying as braining someone with my knuckles. I've noticed you're quite a bit less hostile since we last met as well." He explained what happened to him in the past. He did miss his old powers, but for some reason didn't have the drive to get them back. It wouldn't be hard. With his magic, it would probably be even easier than it was before, but he just didn't want them anymore. It wasn't something he could explain.

He watched carefully as Okarot explained his transformations. "Huh. Interesting. The closest thing I can do is summon the powers of other magical beings for a few minutes. But that can be dangerous as some... Most of them are not friendly. Most of my fights are different. I can use my magic to mess with my opponent's senses. Make them see what I want them to see. Or curse them. Curses and hexes are always fun. That's the fun part about magic. Your imagination is the limit."

[The Republic of Atria]

Okarot was slightly taken aback by what Alex told him. Supposedly, Alex had had unlimited power at his disposal, and was baffled as to why anyone would give up such a thing. Perhaps, he lost the thrill of combat, and opted to remove his powers to make things interesting. Either way, he knew that if he sat around and talked all day, he'd accomplish nothing.

"His name is Alex", he said to Lisa, before turning back to the gold haired magician, "Alex, I'm going to train in another one of these time chambers. I've found my own limit in the for of Super Saiyan 3, and now that I've found it, I wish to break it. You can join me if you'd like. Such a room is cut off from the normal universe, and cannot be destroyed or damaged. It's nothing but a white void, prime for pushing yourself to your limits and beyond. Not only that, but time passes at 365 times the speed of the outside dimension. That means, you can get a year's worth of training in a day. It's how I've gained so much power since you've last met me."

"I guess I'll join you. The most recent fight I had could have gone better. It took three gods, a Kryptonian, and an army of superbeings all gassed up on magic steroids to bring down. I haven't had a real fight in ages. But I'm going to warn you now. I'm going to be much more difficult to fight now than I was when we first met. I'm not tough anymore. So I have to rely on some other things to get by." He said and in a small flash of white, went from translucent to completely solid. "If you wanted to see how powerful I was at full strength, I could go get my girlfriend. She's every bit as strong as I used to be. Maybe even more. It wouldn't take long and you'd probably get a better physical workout from her than you would me."

He turned to Lisa. "I'm Alex. Sorcerer from Earth. Formerly known as the Golden Guardian. Nice to meet you." Training with Okarot? That could be something. Though he would have to rely more on his tricks. In a straight fight, he wouldn't last long at all. He would have to fight on his own terms if he wanted to stand around. But on the plus side, he would likely be able to develop some new spells. Which he always welcomed.

[The Republic of Atria]

"I've been taken apart at the atomic level more than once." He said as they appeared in the chamber. "Though it was a circumstance where I wasn't supposed to live. I suppose that's what happen when you take on gods." He said and looked around. "The only time chamber, but not the only dimension like this. I've been to several. Though they were far more hostile." He smirked and snapped his finger which sparked a bit. "Well then, let's not waste any time." He said as magic energies coated his hands and he floated into the air. "Fair warning. I'm going to be unlike any opponent you've ever faced. It's not going to be as simple as last time. Keep hitting eachother until one of us falls over? Nah. For example..."

Alex vanished, only for one of him to surround Okarot in the cardinal directions: In the front, behind him, and on both of his left and right sides. "Here's the kicker." The one behind him says. "I'm messing with your ability to sense Ki. I wouldn't rely too much on it if I were you. But I don't need to tell you how to fight. You're a Saiyan after all. So let's see how you handle a simple elemental barrage." The one in front of Okarot shot hellfire, the one from behind, ice chilled to absolute zero, the on of the right fired lightning that rivaled Thor's, and the one on the left shot razor sharp wind. "They won't kill you, but I'm pretty sure it'll hurt like hell."

[The Republic of Atria]

Naja made the mistake of turning her powers off when she ate lunch. A few people began to recognize her. Her appearance made that slightly easier than average, but it was a good thing. She was thanked for her being a superhero. It felt good. Unfortunately, as she was talking with them, someone pointed out that she was beginning to look bulkier and taller than she did when she first arrived. She almost lashed out at the man who pointed it out, but stopped herself before she did. She never got angry over something minor like that before. It was genuine rage. "You're... Right. I'm pretty sure this isn't supposed to happen. I need to go see someone." She said, paid for her meal and shot into the sky in a brilliant streak of white energy.

This had to have been due to her fight with Doomsday. Increased size, muscle density, a significant increase in aggressive behavior when previously she was quite happy go lucky. She arrived at the Watchtower which was seemingly waiting for her as the hanger was left open for her to just walk in. It closed behind her and she was greeted by none other than the Flash. "Just in time. I was just going to come and get you. We think something happened when you two fought Doomsday."

"What was your first clue long-johns?" She said almost through her teeth which made Barry take a step or two back. "I'm sorry! It just slipped out... I'm not usually like this, I swear." She said.

"It's okay. I know. Superman is going through the same thing. Come on." He said and led her to a separate containment chamber right next to Superman's. "Hey Bruce, you think you've figured it out yet?"

"Yes." Batman replied still running scans on Superman and just starting with Naja. "What appears to have happened is, during your fight with Doomsday, you ripped him open. He had apparently evolved to release some sort of spores that when inhaled, would reproduce and turn you into... Well, Doomsdays. I don't think I need to tell you why that's bad." He said. "We're working with the Avengers to try and find a cure, the obvious symptoms are the physical deformities, and increased aggression. Naja, you're an Inhuman. Unfortunately, your immune system, even with your powers, is weaker. So you might be the one changing first. However your powers are definitely slowing the spread of the infection. So keep them on."

"Wonderful." She said and sat down. "So we stopped Doomsday and then we're actually becoming Doomsday? That sucks. Where's Alex? He's really good at magic, maybe he can help us, or at the very least slow down the infection some more."

"We just sent Barry out to look for him. But so far we have no idea where he's at."

[The Republic of Atria]

"I've been taken apart at the atomic level more than once." He said as they appeared in the chamber. "Though it was a circumstance where I wasn't supposed to live. I suppose that's what happen when you take on gods." He said and looked around. "The only time chamber, but not the only dimension like this. I've been to several. Though they were far more hostile." He smirked and snapped his finger which sparked a bit. "Well then, let's not waste any time." He said as magic energies coated his hands and he floated into the air. "Fair warning. I'm going to be unlike any opponent you've ever faced. It's not going to be as simple as last time. Keep hitting eachother until one of us falls over? Nah. For example..."

Alex vanished, only for one of him to surround Okarot in the cardinal directions: In the front, behind him, and on both of his left and right sides. "Here's the kicker." The one behind him says. "I'm messing with your ability to sense Ki. I wouldn't rely too much on it if I were you. But I don't need to tell you how to fight. You're a Saiyan after all. So let's see how you handle a simple elemental barrage." The one in front of Okarot shot hellfire, the one from behind, ice chilled to absolute zero, the on of the right fired lightning that rivaled Thor's, and the one on the left shot razor sharp wind. "They won't kill you, but I'm pretty sure it'll hurt like hell."

Okarot's reaction time was incredible, as he increased his energy output just enough to counteract the wind and melt the ice. But, as the fire came from the front, he was forced to jump to the side, right where the lightning was coming from. It was too fast to dodge, so he quickly attempted to dematerialize and teleport. But, as his deconstructed matter left the dimension, the lightning seemingly vanished as well. The cause became apparent as a small explosion occurred twenty feet left of where Okarot had been, and the Saiyan flew out of the reentry portal he had created. The weakness of the Bunkai Teleport was a dangerous one, in that, if the attack was fast enough, it could enter the pocket dimension with the user, and cause them to exit said pocket dimension rather explosively.

As Okarot got up, his left arm was in severe pain, but he had a smile on his face, "Is that all?", he asked, looking down at his arm, which now bore a massive hole where it connected to his shoulder. Blood streamed down it, as a chunk of flesh had been torn right out. But, suddenly, it started glowing green, and the flesh began to regenerate, the wound healing itself. Okarot chuckled, "You are going to have to try harder than that if you want me to fight you with my all."

Alex watched as Okarot destroyed his constructs and healed the wound they gave him "Wow. You're actually better at manipulating matter than I am. Then again. I don't do it much. I have plenty more up my sleeve. Like I said. That was simple." His voice coming from seemingly every direction around him. "Cool trick huh? I can't fight you head on. I'm not suicidal. So the last thing I want is for you to find me. But since you want something more intense..." He said and a construct of Naja appeared, though was void of emotion and wearing her outfit the he made for her earlier in the week.

"This is my girlfriend, or rather what she looks like. This construct isn't as powerful as she is, it's just the most I could muster while maintaining my cloaking spells. You do good against her, and I'll give you someone to fight who is much, much stronger." Alex explained. "Let the games begin!" He said and the construct started off by firing two powerful beams from it's eyes. Though they were magic based instead of energy based. Alex made them so they would hurt rather than kill. Their normal intent was they they flayed things apart at the atomic level. It still happens, but with much less power behind it.

[The Republic of Atria]

Alex watched Okarot's portal technique. He could create portals to other dimensions quite easily, but using it as an attack method never crossed his mind. Which gave him several ideas on how to use it in the future. At some point he would have to fight head on. That would make an impressive defensive spell. Unfortunately for the construct, it wasn't truly self aware and capable of abstract thought. So getting blasted from behind wasn't something it had expected. It's intelligence was limited to fighting skills rather than creativity. Obviously no match if they were evenly matched. Saiyans were gifted fighters after all. But he was a sorcerer. To them, knowledge is power. Coupled with imagination would make him even more powerful, but that was his weakness. His imagination was pretty bad.

The construct was knocked on the ground. What little damage that beams had done was healed via mimicking Naja's healing factor. This time, rather than just firing a few blasts, it flew at Okarot throwing a flurry of blows, and then blasting at him with her eye beams. Okarot had much more up his sleeve than last time. Fortunately for him, his bag of tricks was much different and larger than what he had previously.

Fortunately for him, his bag of tricks was much different and larger than what he had previously.

As the strikes hit Okarot, he was incapable of doing anything to counter attack. In Super Saiyan 2, he couldn't even hope to match that speed, but, with what little sensory abilities he had left, he was able to dedicate a small amount of energy to move around, forming Ki shields wherever the attacks were anticipated. He continued amplifying his energy, but, it was not a normal powerup, as the energy was not spreading throughout his body, instead, it was all gathering in the center of his being.

That was when something happened. His muscles bulked up to incredible proportions, and the energy that was gathered in him exploded through his body, and his power increased beyond that of even a Super Saiyan 3, all while being attacked, a true show of his mastery over the energy that flowed through him. This was not a mere transformation. This was something else entirely. An attack that was nearly impossible to avoid, but, comes with a drawback...

The Saiyan extended his arm's and legs, and the two warriors were surrounded by a small dome of golden energy. A surge of electricity shot around it, making a distinctive noise before a bright light could be seen emitting from Okarot. Suddenly, the Saiyan screamed out, "OMNIPULSE!"

With that, an explosion emerged the Saiyan, carrying enough explosive power to destroy an object with the mass of many solar systems, but expanding only to the size of a small moon. The attack flew out in all directions, and expanded in mere milliseconds. Alex would be able to escape, as he was capable of dimensional travel and was a decent distance. The feeling was faint, due to his senses being blocked, but Okarot could feel Alex was just far enough away to make it out in time. And, if he didn't, then he could always be brought back.

Alex kept his eye on the fight through the eyes of his construct. Okarot didn't seem to be fighting back, he retracted his sight from the construct when Okarot started to bulk up. His power output increased significantly. Which meant a counter attack was coming, and knowing Saiyans, it was going to be a big one. He put up a powerful magical barrier simply for safety while dropping his cloaking spells. The construct was obviously destroyed in the blast, but that just served to give more power to his shield. After the attack faded he floated down with the blue barrier still up. "I figured there'd be a big explosion. One of the few things I do remember about Saiyans. You're a lot trickier than the reports for normal Saiyans say. Your bag of tricks is much larger."

"But." He said dropping the barrier. "Saiyans aren't the only ones with transformations." His hands began glowing bright orange and he smiled as a second pair of orange eyes appeared under his normal pair. "Let's end this with a bang." He said and grew taller and taller, his features growing more and more demonic until he finally reached his final form. Well over 20 feet tall and grinning like a kid in a candy store. "I've been itching for a place to use this. I don't have a lot of inhibitions when channeling the powers of demonic forces. I just like hitting things. Oh, and I've always wanted to say this."

"ALEX SMASH!"

[The Republic of Atria]

Alex stood patiently waiting for Okarot to finish powering up. "You're chock full of surprises. But a bigger hairstyle isn't going to help you." He teased and began to heat the entire chamber steadily showing no signs of ever stopping. "There are so many demons to choose from. This is but a lowly fire demon. The higher ups are far more powerful, but are also known for doing more harm than good. Hence them being demons. This guy, I can control with relative ease. So we can have a nice long fight. Provided you can handle the heat of course."

He readied himself for the fight. When Okarot fired the ki blast, he opened a large portal that swallowed the blast whole. "As it turns out, you're not the only one who's capable of thinking with portals. A rudimentary ability that has so much potential. Like this." He explained and turned around to see Okarot knock him back several hundred feet, but no worse for wear. "Interesting. That hurt a bit." He then opened 3 separate portals, each blasting three of Okarot's own blast back at him each at the same strength that he used on him. "I know of many dimensions. Some where time moves faster than on earth, some where time moves slower. And ones where your Ki is amplified to incredible degrees. I watched you using portals in your fight with my construct, and it never occurred to me that I could do the same thing."

[The Republic of Atria]

"Redirecting your own energy? Interesting. I didn't know that you could do that." He said and didn't both moving as the extremely powerful blast seemingly obliterated him. "But. If I've learned anything while watching you fight. It's to always be 2 steps ahead. You have a laser focus. One to be admired. However, that works against you. Your senses mean nothing to me. You see what I want you to see. Like the decoy." He explained telepathically as orbs of Hellfire surrounded the Saiyan. "I have to keep you on your toes. By making you question what's real and whats not. Though I promise this Hellfire is very real, and powerful enough to burn the skin off of Kryptonians." And the 6 spheres of fire all shot towards Okarot, aiming to engulfed him completely.

Alex didn't have the speed to keep up with a straight fight. His biggest advantage was to use his magic to create illusions and then counter attack. Okarot had no way to tell what was fake and what wasn't in the split seconds of a fight. By combining his illusions with his constructs. He could have an army of nothing, but no one would be able to tell otherwise. Okarot's lack of knowledge of the arcane arts was also something that was in his favor.

[The Republic of Atria]

2 years/days later

Two years had passed in the chamber, two days in real time. He had developed many new spells that allowed him to fight openly rather than relying on his illusions and constructs. Not that he gave his opponent any leisure. Okarot was hiding something from him. That much was certain What it was however, he wasn't sure. His newest technique, a form of his auto shields mixed with portals was something he had yet to use, but he was beginning to get tired of fighting and wanted to go see his girlfriend, luckily the Saiyan was feeling the same way. "Yeah. I haven't seen Naja in awhile, so I'm probably going to check in with her and take a few days to relax. Earth somehow winds up being a playground for many a being with incredible power. I couldn't tell you why."

Unfortunately, over the two days Alex was gone, Both Superman and Naja's condition only got worse. Both were nearly ten feet tall and physical deformities where making them both look similar to Doomsday in appearance. They were getting more and more aggressive until they actually broke through the containment units on the Watchtower and began to make their way to Earth.

[The Republic of Atria]

The massive Naja and Superdoom ignored Ulan as they shot towards Earth for their rampage. Killian however, knew Ulan was looking for him and decided that he should let him know what happened. "I'm here Ulan." He said being little more than a humanoid shaped mass of energy. "It's been awhile. Haven't seen you since the end of the Multiverse. I've since... Changed. The simplest way to put it was that I grew weary of mortal stuff. I had so much power, and my perception of time was altered so much that I found myself unable to enjoy the presence of slower beings. I couldn't take it anymore and now, I am moving so fast I'm everywhere at once." He explained. "Now, what isn't that you were looking for me about? As for Naja, she's infected, along with Superman, with a virus that is turning them both into Doomsday. A creature that is aptly named. Don't worry about that. These things have a tendency to work themselves out."

These things have a tendency to work themselves out."

Ulan smiled as the energy appeared before him. He listened intently at every sentence of his statement, and began to understand what happened. Killian was very powerful when he knew him, and now he was Omnipresent? It was impressive. Surely his power was limitless if he achieved this.
"I wanted to let you know I am deeply sorry, I abandoned you when I may have been great help. You took me in and allowed me to survive with you. You considered me strong enough to go into the new existence, and I abandoned you after surviving the event. I have thought of what would happened if I had stayed. I have thought for a long time about The events that took place, and I hope you can forgive me for leaving you. Is Alex, too, like you? Both of you were considerably fast, where is he now?"
Ulan had thought so long of his selfishness, and that was another factor he considered when he gave these cosmic weapons away. Could it be, possibly, that he had been corrupted? Was it the power that drove him to abandon his friends? It was to late to change it now, and he hoped he wasn't corrupted at his core. He hoped not only that Killian would forgive him, but also Alex.
Alex was the one he probably truly wronged, leaving him to pursue a selfish avenue. He wasn't even sure what they had endured when he left them. He had no idea what heart breaks they had or what challenges they faced. All he did know was that he Could have been there to help, and he was truly a monster for leaving them.

"Don't worry about it. I don't do anger. Except that one time, but we don't talk about that. Reality is stable, and nothing you could have done would have prevented my becoming this. As for Alex. Well, he lost his powers and became a sorcerer. Quite a good one if I do say so myself. Held his own against a very powerful Saiyan longer than most. His girlfriend, Naja, got his powers and they're still a pretty good couple. She's loaded, powerful, and probably one of the nicest people I've ever met. Don't let the red eyes and snake body fool you, she's really cool. Though now she's kind of kill crazy because of the Doomsday virus. Also, Odin kicked the bucket and now Valka runs Asgard. Even if it gets blown up every other day. I honestly think Alex forgot about you. I don't know if you're like me and find guilt to be a pointless emotion. But that's just me."

[The Republic of Atria]

As Okarot prepared to transport both of the warriors to Earth, something shot across his senses. Something with terrible power, right on Earth. No... two things. He had felt extreme power before, but this was different. It was chaotic, and seemingly endless. Despite his countenance remaining confident and proud after feeling such a malevolent and boundless power, Okarot deep down felt apprehension and fear. If he went into this fight without serious consideration, it could be his last.

The Saiyan looked over to Alex, his face deadly serious, "Alex.", he said, his tone solemn, "There are two beings on Earth, vastly powerful ones. Both their powers are not only seemingly endless, but purely chaotic. If we go their now, we will be walking straight into a fight, one that is likely an impossible battle to win. Do you have any idea what we might be up against?"

"There's definitely some raw emotional power going on... I'd say a very angry Hulk and Doomsday beating the tar out of each other. But I'm going to consult my magic before we head into something without knowing everything we should." He said and created a portal, one for them to view, and one over the source. What came up was both a horribly large Superman and Naja destroying everything in their path. "Two days! I was gone for two days! Oh God... Okay. From what my magic is telling me. We've got two Doomsdays with MORE power than the original. One being Kryptonian, and the other being my girlfriend... Two of the strongest people on the planet are now even stronger."

He hesitated on what to do next. Fighting his girlfriend was not something he wanted to do. "They're so... Angry. They're fighting it as best as they can, but it's not getting any better. We need to find out how they're transformed, and cure them. And before you suggest killing them. Not only am I NOT going to kill my girlfriend or Superman for that matter, but if we don't erase them completely, they'll come back even stronger and more invincible." He explained. "And that's not something we want. I'll try to get into their minds, but their rage is a powerful deterrent, and I can only connect to one at a time. So one each. And by that, I mean I'm going to help Naja, so you're stuck with Superman. Or... SuperDoom in this case."

Killian

"You'd be surprised. Emotions are powerful things. There are literally 7 different armies, each fueled by them. Love, hate, hope, fear, rage, will, compassion... There's many. Besides, you do feel emotion other than that. You have a temper whether or not you'll admit it. At least from my experience you do. As for Alex, he and the Saiyan he's been practicing with are about to go fight his infected girlfriend, and the Kryptonian that protects this planet. Now might not be the best time, but that's just me."

[The Republic of Atria]

Okarot sighed as Alex spoke, "Superdoom huh...", he said, with a hint of hesitation, "That sounds... dangerous. It's perfect. It will more than test my abilities. And, if he pushes my current form to it's limits, I've got a little something up my sleeve.", he said, giving slightly worried chuckle.

Suddenly, the two disappeared, moving a couple miles away from where the enemies were. Okarot could feel it from here, and up close, the power was even more terrifying. He looked over to Alex, "Alright, I know you want me to take care of Superdoom, but how exactly do I do that? We have to separate them somehow. The battle between me and Supes could get pretty heated, so I'll try to draw him into space and to another planet. While I personally don't care, I extend you the pleasantry of keeping Earth intact.", he said, looking out in the direction they were in, "So, you gather Naja's attention, I'll gather Superman's attention. Sound like a plan?"

"Luring him away is probably the best idea until we can find a way to cure them. I can keep Naja down, hopefully there's enough of her left in there to remember me. And yes, I was the one who suggested it. I would suggest powering up to your biggest blondest hair, Kryptonians are not a joke under a yellow sun. Even less so when they're angry and under the influence of a super-virus. I would try to avoid their blood. The last thing I need is for you to turn into one too." He explained. "Also try not to die. That would also be bad." After he was finished he teleported down to his lover who was in the middle of tearing a poor defenseless car in half. "Naja? It's me. Calm down. Let me fix-"

She responded by throwing the engine block at him, his auto shields bounced it away, but once she got a good look at him she calmed, marginally. "Alex... Is.. Where?" She was obviously struggling to talk and fight off the Doomsday Virus at the same time. What little control she got was lost and she threw a punch at his head, only fora portal to open and redirect the blow straight back at her.

"I'm sorry Naja. I've been away for a little bit." He said and floated over to the dazed woman monster. "Hold still for just a second..." And put his hand on her head, forcing himself into her mind. This rendered both of them unconscious. "Naja?" He said and looked around to see Naja, trying, and failing to overpower Doomsday. Alex created magic chains that grabbed the monster and pulled him away. "That won't hold him for long. How do we stop it? You can be mad at me for not being here earlier, later on."

It took a second for her to regain her composure. "Okay..." She said rubbing her head. "They said something about my energy holding it off, and Superman's solar charged metabolism doing the same thing. The idea was that if I used all my my power rather than just a little, it might burn off the spores... Or make me a billion times angrier and stronger. But. I don't use that much power unless I have to. So..."

"I'm gonna have to hurt you..."

"I can take it."

"Yes. And then someone sees my fighting my girlfriend in public-"

"Shut up and hit me with your magic lightning bolts."

[The Republic of Atria]

Alex undid the spell that allowed him to enter Naja's mind. Physically, she completely outclassed him by lightyears, and that was in her restrained state. In theory, getting her to full power should start pushing the virus back. All he had to do was survive until that point and keep her at that level until she got back to normal. Of course that was easier said than done. As he came to and hopped to his feet, Naja was already about to crush him. If not for his intangibility spell, he'd be a smear. "Naja... I'm really sorry about doing this. I really hope you're not too mad at me after..." He said and let out a torrent of unholy Hellfire at the beast. The flames so intense that the ground immediately burned to a crisp... Straight to the bedrock.

The flames weren't the only thing that was unholy. The screaming. The thought of burning his lover alive to save not just her, but an untold number of lives. A quick glance over to Okarot showed that he wasn't fairing very well. "Don't die already... I swear. If you leave me with two of these things, I'm going to-" He was cut off from talking to himself by the monster having finally made it's way through his flames, burned almost to the bone, but still kicking. His training with Okarot made him able to think on the fly. He created the same magic chains he used to bind Doomsday in Naja's mind, and pulled her into the air. A decent portion of her muscle was burned away, which reduced her strength considerably. As much as it pained him to do it, he made the chains twist and wrap, attempting to rip her apart.

"Come on Naja... Just do it!" He shouted at the monster that was once his mate. It seemed to hit something, because Naja not only began to resist the chains, the wounds that he inflicted were healing at an incredible rate. Watching muscle and tendons regrow themselves, followed by the final coating of Naja's scaly hide, she shattered the chains that were comparable to Adamantium. The best part was that her body was now beginning to glow bright white. Her signature power color. Which was both good and bad. The good news was that now, her body would hopefully be able to overcome the virus. The bad news was, she was more powerful than ever and he had to survive until she burned off the spores.

"This is gonna hurt..."

[The Republic of Atria]

Fighting her at this point would be pointless, unless he had a death wish. All he had to was survive now. So he put up an extremely powerful magic barrier. It absorbed energy, making it stronger the more it was struck. Unfortunately for him Naja was stronger than he thought. She smashed the shield with enough force that it sent him flying. It was supposed to remain stationary until she burned out the spores, but her strength while at full power was enough to tear a star in half. Coupled with Doomsday making her stronger, he was surprised that it didn't break. But now he was an indestructible pinball heading for orbit at an incredible speed with Naja right behind him.

She was getting slightly small as time went on, but that didn't stop her from smashing the barrier, again and again. It had absorbed enough energy to make it immune to her blows. The important thing was that she was getting better. "Okarot. You need to get him close to the sun. You're going to run out of steam before he does. And I'd rather you cure him before you two level another city. I'm glad the League evacuated it first. Otherwise... Nevermind. It'll boost his metabolism and start fighting off the virus." He explained as he passed Mars with Naja still following him and shrinking with each second that went by.

[The Republic of Atria]

Alex was still back jackhammered by Naja whilst keeping tabs on Okarot and Superdoom. The good news was Okarot got Superman to the sun, and it seemed to be working with burning off the Doomsday virus. The bad news was that there was some sinister energy on him and he still had to deal with Naja. "I didn't want to do this, but I don't have the time." He said and Naja flew straight at him. He turned his shield into a portal and sent them to where the unconscious Superman and injured Okarot were. Though Alex had opened Naja's portal inside the sun to buy himself some time while he found out what was going on with Okarot. "I just sent my girlfriend into the heart of the sun. So please don't die on me yet."

Alex created a bubble around Okarot, meant to be a potent healing spell. "Okay... This should take care of your wounds, but that energy is something else. I don't know too much about Saiyans. So you're going to have to explain what it is before I act. And you don't want to know what my version of act is. I'll give you a hint. You're losing the arm if we can't fix it."
