J'onn or also known the Manhunter was starring at the command area, at the view area, he look through the solid glass where people can watch the view space at the outside. He then use his vision to look at the condition of Mars. The Thanagarians had build their military station at Mars as a support to counter attack with Gordanians, so far he can see through his vision, their empire at Mars are grew larger and larger. But his place, his city and his home are remain untouched.
As Long as they didn't disturb that place, he was fine, Just then he was approach by someone, Jun Himeya. "Looking at the nice view?" he ask, "Home" J'onn said. "Oh" Himeya didn't spoke words since he knew he was talking about loss, J'onn still miss his home, just like how he miss Sara, Sakuta, Negoro, and Komon, he miss his home either. "But at Mars least had grew habitable again.....and they didn't touch the place" J'onn said. "We sometimes lost what precious to us" Himeya said.
"But sometimes it teach us to be strong, it teach us to keep move forwards, our past can't be change, but the future can still be changed, so keep moving forwards to continue living in the future" Himeya continue. J'onn listen to him, every words. "The day i lost Sara, i though my life was over, i couldn't live with the burden of my guilt, one day i was brought to Ruin, i didn't know why i was choose, but after i knew why, it's because of what our purpose are and something really powerful" Himeya said.
"The bond and hope, those two are powerful, the stronger the bonds are with other, the powerful we are" Himeya then bring out his Evoltruster. "The power that was given to me, had been inherit by many before me, before human, had you remember the ancient place we had going, you may notice it, the place, the time, at first i didn't understand it either, but after i was told, now yes i am" Himeya spoke.
"I guess universe was still full with mystery and uncover answer, no matter what, we just small part of it" J'onn said. "You're not wrong about that. "By the way, do you had a free time?" Himeya ask, " I wish i had, but not today, as it was turn on duty for monitoring" J'onn said. "Maybe i can help you with monitoring, i may not use with this, but at least i could learn" Himeya said. "Sure" J'onn said.
"By they way, where are the others?" Himeya ask, "They all went to duty early, some goes to earth to investigate if any source of space beast, other travel other planet, consider they were galactic wide threat, they could be anywhere" J'onn said. "Huh, well i guess it's just you and me then" Himeya said, "Yes, it was likely so" J'onn said as he floating and fly towards to the monitoring deck. Himeya use the elevator to go up to Monitoring deck.
At there Himeya see the device for monitoring, though he do was part of constructing and build these, and spent his life in watch tower, but he never set foot on here. J'onn then explain every device and how to use it, Himeya was a fast learner, so he can get use to this. One of the reason J'onn and Himeya are close friend, because they share the same pain and same experience.
Both once had a good life but had been ruined by war, J'onn lost his whole of his home world and his family, Himeya had lost someone he consider a sister and live with regret and sin in the past, both keep move forwards and keep fighting despite facing more and more challenge, both were once been captured and been experiment by the government. But deep down, they always had people who support him from behind, J'onn had justice league as he saw them as a new family, Himeya had Night riders and get known to one of the member named Komon.

Just then a sliding door that meant to enter the assemble area was opening, guess who? his suit was entire gold with some blue of it, with blonde hair and of course his glasses and he had some floating device with him, which was believe to be A.I partner, he was said to be a hero in future, 25th century, Booster Gold. And he was eating Nachos when he came here. He spot only spot a few members on the watch tower and decided to went to assemble area.
And spot no one except people at the monitoring deck, he then fly towards to monitoring deck with bowl of nachos mix with cheese with him. "Hey there guys what's up?" he greet them, "Hey there Booster Gold" Himeya said while keep his eye on the monitor on earth and some place that might be potential of space beast appearance. "Yes, finally somebody recognize the Booster gold, hero of 25th century and my partner Skeets" Booster gold said.
"Don't you have any duty today?" J'onn ask, "Well everything was been taken by other member.....sooo....yeah i'm off duty for today" Booster gold said as he put some nacho into his mouth. "Want some nachos?" he ask. "No thanks, i just eat at the cafe" Himeya said. "Your lost" Booster said as he take bite on other nachos. He then approach the Monitor which Himeya was working on it.
"So, no more of those space beast huh, i mean i hope that will be the last" Booster gold said, "All of us hope so" Himeya said, "Why don't you look around, see if you can had a talk with question, he was on his room if so, he was obsess with these space beast" J'onn said. "You got it boss" Booster said as he fly away with skeets follow him. Himeya watch through the monitor and spot a civil war raging in Europe. With Wonder Woman, Hawk and Dove had to settle this. He then spot a powerful a war machine called the Annihilator.
Either and Wonder Woman was fight with the machine. Himeya wanted to help but knowing Wonder Woman, she was one of the steel. Booster Gold then went to question room and open his door room. "Yo question, anybody home?" he called out, but nobody was spotted in the room. "Yo question, i had a lot of thing to ask you" he called out but no answer. Skeet then look at the dashboard on the wall. "Sir look at these" Skeet called out.
Booster came to see the dashboard and found many mystery on the map like lochness monster, bigfoot, alien conspiracy and finally about these space beast. Shortly after Superman make announcement about these space beast. Question immediately took interest on the mystery of this beast, what are they and what they want. So far it write on file with red marker said, wild, beast, devour human?. "Creepy" Booster said.
"It will be more if you enter someone personal's room without asking permission" a voice came from the room entrance and they both flinch. Stood at the door room was a man wearing a detective coat and hat, his coat was blue and wearing a hat which any detective will. And he appear to had no face at all. "Hah there you are dude, so i came for these, space beast" Booster said. "Ah i see, so you also find space beast are interest creature" Question said.
"I wouldn't said interest, but rather than curious, i mean you look at the news right?" Booster, "Everyone knows and so far, those two were just the beginning" Question said as put both of his hand into his coat pocket. "Beginning?' Booster ask, "I think a lot of people forgot, when they were fighting something they only target the symptom but never once search for what cause it" Question said. Both Booster and Skeet look on each other and then look at question.

"Perhaps the clue on the wall will make it clear" Question said as he point to another bill board where he put all the evidence, he was a conspiracy investigator, he took a case about mystery and conspiracy. Booster gold look at the wall and Skeet took a picture of it, the first picture was about Galberos rampage at Africa, and then Pedoleon attacking oil factory. But what hunted them most when they saw an article about the dark giant.
Many natives in Africa believe, these giant and Galberos were the demon, another article was about some dark figure with joker like body suit black and red, but had feminine body shape, or a female body shape, but she had face almost exact same like Ultraman, but had three fin on top of it's head like it resemble a crown. But what capture it more was it's dark black eye. This picture was taken by one of the local in Jeju, south Korea, and it went viral.
Some believe that Ultraman and this dark giant were related and had a conspiracy, but the Justice league had make it clear that Ultraman and this dark giant was not related. When Booster look at the article, he admit it make him shiver, it's like he was reading a ghost story or something. "Found some answer?" Question ask. "No, not really, buddy where did you got this?" Booster ask, "Daily planet resource, they had many copies of these news article" Question answer.
"Hmm" Booster look at the billboard and start to act like a detective. "So where did you want to start?" Question ask. "Ah well......sorry bud but i', not kind with this detective stuff, so i let you take in charge" Booster said. "Fine by me, i will start with the dark giant, Dark Mephisto, perhaps that's what they called him for now" Question said, "Sheesh sounds more like a demon to me" Booster said, "Is it? but he looks more like a grim reaper to me" Question said.
"Can we talk later about this stuff" Booster said, "Fine, the first question is why it defend this Galberos, perhaps maybe because it was his subordinate?, goons?" Question ask, "Or a pet, you know the face of these guys remind me of a dog" Booster said, "That could be logical, but one thing we can't sure is, was this mephisto control the beast and the rest, such as Pedoloen, which just attack the oil factory a day ago" Question said.
"Ugh, don't remind of that monster" Booster said as the image of Pedoleon Klien was inside his head now. "Our next step was this was dark figure that spot in South Korea, so far i can said that, possibly she and Mephisto was related" Question said. "Had to admit that" Booster said. Question now begin about his investigation and Booster just listen what he wanted to speak. At the monitor deck at the assemble area of watch tower.
Seems like the conflict of Europe had been ended, Wonder Woman, Hawk and Dove had succeed beat the Annihilator but it didn't destroy but more like shut it down. "Looks like Wonder Woman did it" Himeya said. "Yes indeed" J'onn said, "Perhaps we're going to lift that machine to here right?" Himeya ask, "It was the only way to keep it safe from falling to the wrong hand" J'onn said.
Suddenly Himeya sense something, something really familiar, this feeling, it was fill with darkness, hatred, consume and corruption. "J'onn did you sense something?" Himeya ask, J'onn then use his telepathy as Himeya spoke, he also sense something really strange, it was similar to Ultraman, but unlike Himeya, this was one was filled with darkness. "I sense it too" J'onn said as his eye finish glowing.
Batman was like his usual monitoring on Gotham city, he receive a report from commissioner Gordon state, several strange activity just happen around the Gotham and it scare the both criminal and citizen, many were went missing that's including wanted criminal and several civilian. Batman and Batgirl leap onto building and another building. To search for clue, so far the view of the Gotham was very quite, really quite like unusual. Gotham use to be a havoc city, but today it was quite like a ghost town. Many citizen were stay indoors as they receive order from the GCPD and the president of Gotham.
They stop at one building as and bring out their tracking device. "Found something yet?" Batgirl whisper, "Not yet, you?" Robin ask, "Same" Batgirl replied. Both hero and heroin under training were look around, so far Gotham was quite. Can believe many people were went missing, just only in three days. "What do you think happen to them?" Batgirl ask, "I don't know, don't ask me, even this was new for me" Robin said.
"Just asking" Batgirl said as she then look at Batman who was focus to search for any sign or source of strange energy from his device and hope this could lead them. "Nothing" Batman said, both Robin and Batgirl look very disappointed to themselves, even Batman himself. For the first time he met with this kind of case and mystery. It was to complicated, to search for what cause this and he didn't found any evidence. "Any news from Nightwing?" Batman ask. They both shook their head.
"Keep searching, maybe we could find something" Batman said as he bring out his graplin hook and shot to the building, Robin and Batgirl do the same. This time they had to separate to search for clue, but however when they spot something strange or something pickup from their device, they were not allow to engage. Report to the others. Batgirl went down to the street to search for any clue. The street was empty and silence as it was used to fill with street thug, now it was almost like a ghost town as many of them went missing.
She spot many poster that been put on the wall, some of them were civilian, wanted criminal and children. All the poster label missing. Robin was search on the some at the Gotham dock, no sign of anyone except himself. "Hello" a sound of his reflection voice can only be heard. "Wow, this place really like a ghost town to me" Robin said. "Or is it?" a mystery voice answer for him.
"Who's there?" Robin ask, "Over here" the voice said as he was hiding in the shadow between the warehouse. The figure appear to be short around Robin's height, from voice alone a Robin can tell it was a man. It didn't take genius to figure it. The figure reveal to be a man, with short chubby body, wearing a black coat and black hat, and his nose is pointing out. It was Penguin, one of wanted criminal.
"Penguin, so is this some kind of your sick game or with Joker's game" Robin said. "Said's who, i'm here to hide" Penguin said. "What from who?" Robin ask, "From the demon" Penguin answer. "De-what?" Robin was confuse, "My men were missing, all one by one and i'm the only one who was left, you had to trust me" Penguin said, his voice sounds like he was in fear. "How can i know you're not trick me, last time we met and you and Joker set a trap and almost kill us" Robin said.
"No it's true, please you had to believe me" Penguin plead as he was look like he was desperate. "Alright, i will help you, but no trick" Robin said. "Deal" Penguin said, only for him to het throw a batarang to his head and causing Penguin to fainted, "I will help you by calling the police, can't let you wonder around like this" Robin said as he place at both of his waist and smile. At the industry area, Batman was searching at the old factory, his tracking device pick up some signal.
As he was at there, suddenly something a vision came inside in his mind, he saw a person who got tortured and abused. The person scream for help, it was not an ordinary person, but someone Batman knew so much, he scream for help as he got tied up at the chair, he got several fresh scar and bruise on his body. In front of him was none other than Jason Todd. And then the person who torture him appear, it was the Joker.
He's torturing him to death, despite how many times Jason had plead, and Joker refuse to stop and instead he continue it and laughing. Batman was wondering why this was play inside in his head, he didn't even think about this, it just suddenly appear. But the tragic of Jason Todd was still trauma him, whatever when Joker saw every recoding scene, how he tortured him, causing Batman to be furious, only to find out he was to late.
Jason was death, but soon revive once again as he was been drop into Ral' Agul's pond, and he was revived, but it didn't end there. Jason put the blame all to him, and because of that Red Hood was born, and he will forever hunt down Batman. Batman he indeed feel guilty, he did admit it was his fault. He's the reason why this was happen, and that's why he always make sure to keep Tim, Dick Grayson and Barbare to be prepare, he didn't want to loose another one.
Then he saw a vision, a ruin, no the same Ruin that Himeya brought him and other Justice league. Where Noa was located, why that also appear in his mind?. He shook his head and even smack it a little with his hand. As the vision fade away, he calm down a little to make sure he wasn't dreaming. After comform it, he then contacting Bat Girl and Robin.
"This is batman did you read me?" he said through the com device. But it was static, he tried again, but it was same. Guess he had no choice, this was the only chance. He then manage to enter inside the factory and look around, there is no one was spotted. But then he heard a sound of metal falling, and quickly investigate the area. He run towards to the place and finally stop, he was at the large space of the factory, with many stuff just been arrange at the it's place and some broken machine of the factory.
Only for Batman heard a loud stomp behind him. Behind him there was two large leg, larger than human, Batman turn around and look up and saw the giant behind him. It stood over 30 feet tall, it had similar look to Ultraman, but his eye color were dark black and had three short fin on his head. "Dark Mephisto" Batman hiss as he saw the dark giant, Batman was aware how dangerous Mephisto can be. But mephisto didn't spoke instead he turn his head towards to the Dark Knight, he just stare at Batman. As he knee down to him, Batman prepare his explosion Batarang.
"You.....are in sort of pain huh Batman" Mephisto spoke, Batman didn't spoke however he was prepare if Mephisto was trying something to attack him. "Yes i know you, Bruce Wayne a child who lost both of his parents when he was 8, left alone without love from parents, causing yourself to leave with the darkness, believing you are now alone.....your reason for fighting a crime is because of one thing.....vengeance.....it's like what both we are" Mephisto said in creepy tone.
Batman pause almost surprise when Mephisto knew his identity, but talking about his parents, really wasn't supposed to said about. "Corruption, Greed, power, control and finally money ......that is what people in Gotham were think about....don't you think Batman, if not, then the man who killed your parents, Joe Chill will do this, because he didn't fear of the Justice, he do this, because that's what he want" Mephisto said.
Batman however frowned when Mephisto mention about his parents, and their killer, he still prepare to throw the explosion Batarang "You at the other hand, bring hope, apathy to this city and most likely, fear......just like me.....bring fear to our enemy....in this wicked, pretentious world.....there is no Justice, good or evil.....all it that matter is that the strong survive".
