Central Park, New York, Marvel Universe: Present Day
“Who the heck are these guys?!” Plastic Man cried out as his eyes popped (literally) as he and the others were in a bit of a tussle with most of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
“I don’t know,” Cyborg said, as he and Plastic Man were trying to avoid most of Hawkeye’s arrows, “but I know that we want to keep ourselves intact, we might need to kick butt!”
Things were definitely tense, as it was hero vs. hero from two different worlds.
Nova and Power Man had to go head to head against Superboy, Green Lantern and Miss Martian, while Scar and Falcon was using their sword and blade skills, competing against Wonder Woman and Aquaman’s.
“Man, never taking down someone with these bracelets before,” Falcon stated, as he struck Wonder Woman with his blades, only for his surprise that she was using them to deflect the strikes, without leaving a scratch on them either, “what are these things made of?! Some sort of new type of titanium?!”
“Scar slash fish man!” Scar cried out, as his sword and Aquaman’s triton clashed with every swing.
“Fish man?!” Aquaman said, very peeved, “You dare speak to the king of Atlantis?!”
“Wait,” Squirrel Girl then spoke up during her fight as she heard, “YOUR’E king of Atlantis?”
“I thought that Attuma guy that the S.H.E.I.L.D. files have on said he was the king?” Agent Venom said, doubtfully.
“Perhaps he’s Attuma’s good looking brother?” Hawkeye said, as he continued shooting several of his arrows.
Hawkeye tried to shoot Cyborg with an EMP arrow, however, just as it was about to strike the cybernetic hero, Kid Flash was able to catch it, Hawkeye grunted as he tried again and again, and each time, the young speedster was able to catch every arrow.
Just then, the archer got whistled at from behind, as he turned to see Kid Flash with some of his EMP arrows.
“You didn’t see that coming?” Kid Flash asked, as he dropped the arrows then speeded back to the battle.
“How you holding up, She-Hulk?” Spider-Woman asked, as she was fighting Jinx while She-Hulk was taking on Superman.
“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine,” She-Hulk said, as she was almost in a scrunch with the Man of Steel, “Though I admit, this guy seems just as more muscle as my cousin!”
“Even if that big, ugly starfish took me on, I’m still standing!” Nova said, as he and Green Lantern were sending out blast after blast with each other.
But as he mentioned that, Green Lantern stopped for a second as he was in a quick bit of thought about Nova’s description.
“What… big, ugly starfish…?” he said, until he spoke up in realization, “Starro?! You encountered Starro?!”
“So, you know that slimy sushi dish, do ya?” Red Hulk said, as he then got out his guns, “You better start talking! ‘Cause if ya working with that Starro starfish, you gonna be green and red all over after what it did by making me a stupid puppet!”
Red Hulk then started firing several shots, as Green Lantern deflected them with a shield he conjured with his ring.
As the red version of the Hulk noticed this, he decided to turn his attention to Superman.
“Hey, you Hyperion wannabe!” Red Hulk shouted, getting Superman’s attention.
“Let’s see ya eat lead!” it was then that Red Hulk fired another round of bullets, however, as he did, he was shocked to see that, despite the bullets hitting their mark, Superman wasn’t injured or didn’t even felt anything… almost like he was made of steel.
“Head’s up, guys!” Plastic Man cried out, as he wrapped himself around Red Hulk, then, in comic fashion, used his arms to control Red Hulk’s arm and hitting him in the face.
“Stop hitting yourself! Why you hitting yourself? Quite hitting yourself!” Plastic Man joked as he continued the gag.
However, it didn’t last, as the red bulk began instantly grabbed a hold of him by his plastic neck and pulled him se they were face to face, and the rubber hero began to look worried as Red Hulk said with gritted teeth, “Bad. Move. Rubberface.”
While the two groups were fighting, Atom was able to shrink down to size while he approached the shard that Miss Martian discovered.
“By the microscopic particles, this thing is letting out such strange readings…” Atom said to himself, as he checked the radar, noticing how high the power level was, “bizarre how a shard have this much power, imagine it would be if it were whole.”
As he continued studying the piece, a female voice came from behind him.
“Seems that he beat us to it, Hank.”
As he turned, the Atom caught sight of Ant-Man and Wasp having landed by where he was.
“Whoa, steady there,” Atom said, calmly to the other small heroes, “I don’t want to hurt either of you.”
“I guess so,” Ant-Man said, and he then looked to the shard that Atom was looking at, “and I take it that it’s not one of yours that brought Starro here.”
“That’s right,” Atom replied, “I’m just surprised that Starro wound up in your dimension for some reason, but right now, this thing is containing a lot of energy, quite possibly completely unknown to both of us.”
“Do you think that’s what brought Starro here in the first place?” Wasp asked, pointing to the shard.
“Perhaps.” Atom answered.
“Well, it’s quite bizarre, but we had some of our friends find out where that giant starfish came from and sent them to its universe of origin,” Ant-Man said, as he was in thought a bit, “my guess would be, knowing that your comrades know that alien, that our friends have wound up in your dimension.”
“Guess so.” Atom nodded in agreement.
“Then why were you lot here?” Wasp then asked.
“We were actually here looking for some friends of ours who suddenly vanished,” the tiny hero of the DC universe explained, “one of our allies ended up here looking for them, though he had a bit of bad welcome committee, and we then journeyed here to see if our missing friends wound up here too, though my guess is it’s a no.”
“Then it looks like we better call truce for now.” Wasp stated.
“Good idea, Janet,” Ant-Man said, as he then looked to Atom “we better start with stop them fighting right now, and then we get this shard to the helicarrier and let Nick Fury know about this, and hopefully our friends and yours are doing all right.”
Metropolis, DC Universe: Present Day
Though it seemed that Ant-Man may have spoke to soon, as at the same time, back in the Justice League’s home world, few of the League, the Teen Titans and Titans East were facing off most of the Avengers and Spider-Man’s team.
A moment ago, Captain Atom ordered them to stand down and be taken in for questioning.
A moment ago, Hulk (accidentally) responded for the Avengers, as he slammed Captain Atom into a wall (all due to the guy giving him the stink eye).
That was a moment ago.
“Avengers, stand your ground!” Captain America called out to most of his group; as he was defending himself with his shield from Hawkman’s strikes, “don’t let these guys get you down, no matter what!”
“Steady on, Cap!” A-Bomb said, as his cameras were still recording everything that was happening, “these guys could possibly be this world’s heroes!”
Spider-Man was able to dodge several of Green Arrow’s… well… arrows, as he said, “Well, someone should tell these guys that we’re good guys too, and that we’re really sorry about what Hulk did!”
“That Atom guy talked too much,” Hulk explained, as he threw Aqualad into Bumblebee, “and besides, I didn’t like him anyway!”
Iron Man, meanwhile, was firing plasma blasts from his armor gloves at Supergirl, as she counterstriked with her laser vision, until she got into a headlock, holding her back from fighting.
“I do not wish to hurt you, fair lady,” Thor said, “but I have no choice but to hold you down, quietly.”
“Oh, you did not just call me ‘fair lady’!” Supergirl said, as she kicked Thor in the chest and they began their muscle struggle, from blow to blow.
But soon, just as Thor threw his hammer at her… Supergirl was able to grab hold of it!
“By Odin’s Ghost!!” Thor exclaimed, as he couldn’t believe what he saw.
Supergirl zoomed at Thor, his hammer in tow, as she then slammed Thor with his own hammer, causing him to crash into the road.
Most of the heroes saw this, and were amazed (and shocked in the Marvel heroes case) as Supergirl floated down to Thor, the hammer still in her grip.
“No way.” White Tiger said, as she was trying to see if she was dreaming.
“Someone else was able to lift Thor’s hammer?!” Spider-Man said in shock!
“Whoa!” A-Bomb said, as he then turned to one of his cameras, knowing that it was recording all of what was happening right now, (as well as know everyone watching this was going have loads of reaction remarks from seeing it) “Did you guys at home saw that?! That chick was able to lift the very hammer that Thor could lift!”
“Wait,” Beast Boy said as he turned to Raven, Starfire and Speedy, “did that blue dude say that guy is Thor? As in the God of Thunder with the lightning and all that?”
“Alright, ma’am,” Captain America said, getting Supergirl’s attention, though she was still a little ticked on being called a ‘fair lady’, “stand down and put down the hammer gently.”
“You want me to put the hammer down?” Supergirl said, as her twitched, which made Beast Boy gulped, knowing that when teaming with Supergirl, it’s best not to call her lady names like ‘ma’am’ or ‘missy’, knowing that there would be trouble.
Supergirl then threw the hammer straight at Captain America, which caused many of his team to look in realization and shock as to what was about to happen.
“Head’s up!” cried Cloak, as he used his powers to teleport most of his friends (including Dagger) to safety, just as Cap. America brought his shield up to protect him as the hammer made contact with it.
As the hammer struck the shield, a powerful sonic shock wave was released, as the shield acted like a gong, sending most of the heroes flying, and some of the glass of the buildings instantly shattered from it, most far off covered the ears from the loud sound as while they were far from the battle, they could still hear the loud sonic sound.
After the sound wave cleared, Cloak reappeared with his rescued few, as most of the heroes got up to recover from what had happened.
Once they stood up, they all looked to each other.
There was a moment of silence until Spider-Man broke it, “So… we good? Call it a time out?”
“Think we should listen to them!” Beast Boy spoke up, getting his team attention, “I mean, they do have the god of thunder here… right?”
“It would believe so,” Martian Manhunter said, “their thoughts speak the truth, despite what has happened, they do not wish to hurt us, but seek to known how Starro came into their world from here!”
“Wait,” White Tiger said, “did you just read our minds?!”
“And I take it you know about this Starro creature as well?” Captain America asked.
“Yeah,” Beast Boy explained, “I was told that the Justice League had a few encounters with that starfish from outer space, so how did it-”
Before the young shape shifter could continue asking the question, Iron Man’s systems went off as it detected something.
“Hold that thought, kiddo,” Iron Man said as he looked to Beast Boy, “JARVIS, what’s happening?”
“Sir,” JARVIS spoke, “I am detecting an anomaly up ahead, it’s origin seems unknown.”
“There!” Starfire called out, as she pointed to a rift that had opened up and suddenly, several giant robots appeared.
The robots were red giants, with a big wheel to ride on, round waist and a circular head. They had long arms and claws, with a big, red eye on their faces.
“Whoa!” Dagger gasped, “What are they?”
As the robots observed their surroundings, they began to chant, “DESTROY ALL FLESH AND THE WORKS OF FLESH!”
“Uh, did those robots say what I think they said?” A-Bomb said, with a worried look on his face.
“They wish to destroy all things flesh!” Starfire exclaimed, “And we are indeed flesh!”
“As well as everyone else in the city!” Captain America stated, before giving out the command, “All right, we take these things out, then we can have explanations later!”
“Alright then, AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!” Iron Man shouted to some of the Avenger members, as the young heroes followed their lead, heading towards the giant metal menaces.
“Avengers?” Speedy asked, as he looked to his mentor.
“It must be the name of these heroes of their world.” Martian Manhunter guessed.
“Then what are we waiting for?” Beast Boy spoke up, “We have to help them, I mean these robots are trying to destroy this city after all!”
“Then we must, Beast Boy!” Bumblebee said, as she flew with Beast Boy to join the other earth’s mightiest heroes.
“Wait up!” Raven called out, as she went after her teammates.
Soon the other DC heroes decided to go ahead on what Captain America said, as they then hurried of to join in the fight.
“DESTROY ALL FLESH AND THE WORKS OF FLESH!!” the robots repeated as they began to attack, sending everyone in panic, until the Marvel heroes approached them.
“Not on our watch, tin cans!” Spider-Man shouted.
“Ready, Hulk?” Thor asked his muscle partner.
“Always ready to smash!” Hulk said with a grin, as they leaped onto one of the robots and knocked it down hard from the eye stock.
“White Tiger, Iron Fist,” Spider-Man called out to his team, “try and keep the citizens out of the way of the battle! We’ll try and get the robots’ attention!”
“Got it, Spider-Man!” Iron Fist said with a thumb up, as he and Tiger Claw hurried to the peoples’ rescue.
While most of the were nervous and or confused about these new heroes, the citizens of Metropolis were brought to safety by the young teen heroes, who were protecting them from the new invaders they had never seen before.
Just then during the fight, Iron Man’s team heard out a magic chant.
“Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!”
Following that, a wave of black energy struck one of the robots, until it was trapped in what looked like a black, wavy bubble, then it was crushed from inside like paper.
Most of the group looked back, and saw the other group of heroes coming into the fight, as Raven asked, “Mind if we join in?”
“More the merrier, I would say.” Iron Man replied, as both teams took on the robot invaders.
During the fight, as Spider-Man manage to take down one robot, he saw another come at him, until a arrow shot a bulls eye onto the robot’s eye, causing it to explode.
“All right! Good aim, Hawkeye!” Spider-Man said as he turned… only to face Green Arrow.
“Hawkeye?” Green Arrow asked in confusion.
“Oh, sorry,” Spider-Man said, a little embarrassed, “wrong archer.”
As the fight raged on, Thor was suddenly next to Supergirl once more.
“You are the one they call ‘Supergirl’, is that correct?” Thor asked.
“That’s right,” Supergirl said, as she then confessed, “I just want to say I’m sorry for what happened with your hammer.”
“It is alright,” Thor said, “if you are able to weld Mjolnir, then you are worthy to be a true ally.”
“Ah, thanks.” Supergirl said, until she saw one of the robots about to strike Thor with it’s arm, the God of Thunder noticing another robot doing the same for Supergirl.
“Behind you!” they both shouted, as Supergirl used her laservision while Thor used his thunder powers, striking the arms down.
Once they saw that the other had helped them, silence went down on them until they both said, “Thanks.”
Despite that several more of the robots appeared, the heroes did their best to keep them from destroying the whole city.
Central Park, New York, Marvel Universe: Present Day
As Atom, Ant-Man and Wasp were about to call off the fight between their teammates, the shard suddenly sparked up, as Atom’s device began to alert them.
“What is it, Atom?” Ant-Man asked.
“It’s the shard,” Atom explained, as he grew worried and concerned, “it’s sparking up a lot of energy!”
Just then, the shard instantly let out sparks of energy, causing the small heroes to fall back and return to normal, while it got the attention of those fighting.
As the shard lifted up for a few seconds, one bolt of energy caused a rift to appear, and a pack of what looked like vicious wolves appear… the strangest thing about them was, they were all made of wood!
“Whoa! What are those things!” Squirrel-Girl said in shock.
“I don’t know,” Falcon replied, “but I think they look like… wolves!”
The pack of wolves were little curious of where they were, until they sniffed out the heroes, as well as several citizens that were watching what was happening, and let out vicious growls before they let out a howl from each of them.
The citizens began to panic as they saw the beasts coming at them, making the heroes realize what was happening.
“Now may not be the time to know what they are,” Aquaman said, getting most of both teams’ attention, “right now we have to stop them before they cause harm to the people here!”
“Easier said than done,” Red Hulk said, as he grinned at the ball that he made out of a nervous Plastic Man, “I hope they like rubber annoyance here as I do.”
One of the wolves were about to strike Spider-Woman, until Jinx jumped in and used her magic, as the beast collided into it, causing it to break apart, stunning those who saw it happen.
“Hey, not bad.” Spider-Woman said.
“Thanks.” Jinx replied back.
Kid Flash was able to avoid getting trampled by one of the wolves, and then he managed to jump onto one of them, riding it like how a cowboy did on a bull in a rodeo.
Meanwhile, the fight against the wolves made of wood looked pretty much easy, as following Jinx’s example, they were able to destroy them with ease, taking them down one by one.
Unfortunately, it turned out quite the opposite, as soon as one of was broken to pieces, another would instantly, for some reason due to the possibility of magic, fix itself back to before it was broken by one of the heroes.
“Man, that’s what I call pulling yourself together!” Plastic Man said with a chuckle.
“Good grief,” Red Hulk groaned in annoyance, “can we throw this rubber nuisance to them, play with him like a squeaky toy?”
“Easy, Red,” She-Hulk said, trying to calm her hot-headed team mate down, “let the plastic dude go, and let’s try and get along and beat these woodchuck hounds.”
Meanwhile, not far from where the fight was, Deadpool was watching the excitement from his hiding spot in one of the tall trees.
“Oh, this is so good!” Deadpool said to himself.
“Shouldn’t we help them out right now?”
“Not yet,” Deadpool said, “when the time is right… any second now…”
At that moment, another spark from the shard another rift to appear, catching most of the beasts’ attention.
They then began to charge towards the rift, but as they did, during her fight, Jinx was suddenly rammed up by one of them, causing her land on one of them and holding on for her life.
“Jinx!” Kid Flash cried out, as he rushed after them.
“Aaaand that’s our queue!” Deadpool said, as he jumped out of his hiding spot, crying out “Banzi!”
He bounced off Red Hulk’s head and then landed onto the wooden wolf that Jinx was holding onto.
“What th-Deadpool?!” Squirrel-Girl spoke out, surprised to see the merc of the mouth as the others.
“How did he get there?!” Hawkeye asked.
“Fear not, fair maiden!” Deadpool said to Jinx, acting like a knight, “I, Sir Deadpool, am here to save ya!”
“Fair Maiden?” Jinx said, not very amused, “Serious? I could take you on if I wanted to.”
The pack (along with Deadpool and Jinx) had reached the rift and pounced into it, with Kid Flash catching up behind, Nova and Miss Martian tried to catch up, but the rift closed up on them.
“Dang!” cried Nova, “They’re gone!”
“There’s no telling where they could have gone.” Wonder Woman said, as she joined up with the others and the heroes from this world.
The two groups approached the shard, as Green Lantern took a hold of it via the power of his ring.
“Right now, though,” he said, “it would be best to keep this shard under tight security. Make sure that nothing else pops up.”
“I suppose so… Green Lantern, is it?” Falcon said, as the Green Lantern nodded in agreement to the Avenger’s question, before he continued, “We should take an analysis on this, right Ant-Man?”
That question, however, came with no answer, as Ant-Man seemed to not have replied.
“Uh, Ant-Man?” Falcon called again, still nothing.
“Where do you think he went?” She-Hulk asked.
“Strange,” Miss Martian said, “I seem to can’t sense the Atom anywhere either.”
“I suppose it would be best to head to these guys’ base for now,” Cyborg suggested, “and from there, we’ll ask questions when we get there and know who’s who.”
The others nodded in agreement, as they headed off, Falcon contacting Nick Fury about some new arrivals that would need some briefing, while the heroes of the other world were wondering what happened to the two Teen Titans.
Metropolis, DC Universe: Present Day (at the same time as when the wolves entered the rift)
As the two teams were nearly done on finishing off the invading robots, a rift suddenly opened up, catching their attention.
As they looked they saw the pack of wooden wolves stampeding throught the streets, and most of the team spotted their respective teammates (though Deadpool isn’t really a teammate, those of their world recognized him on one of the beasts).
“What the heck?” Spider-Man said, “Where did these bozos come from?”
Supergirl then spotted Jinx on one of the creatures, guessing that there was trouble, then another rift popped up in front of the pack, despite that they were still rampaging towards it!
“Hang on!” she cried out, as she flew after the pack, flying along side Kid Flash.
“Hey, wait up!” Spider-Man called out, as he used his webbing to tag along with Supergirl, grabbing her by the cape (though she didn’t notice), before being pulled after her.
The pack then entered the next rift to who know’s where, as Kid Flash, Supergirl and Spider-Man followed after them to help Jinx and Deadpool (though mainly help Jinx and find out why Deadpool was there), until the rift snapped shut.
“Dude,” Beast Boy said, “did you just see what I saw?”
“You mean those strange wooden animal carvings that almost look like a pack of wolves?” Iron Man asked as he landed next to him, “Yes, yes we did?”
“Have you seen anything like this where you came from, Thor?” Captain America asked the God of Thunder, who replied by shaking his head.
“Neigh,” he said, “those beasts are nothing from Asgard, nor from any other of the nine realms I have been to.”
“Then how do you suppose we figure out-” before Aqualad could finish, another rift suddenly appear above Starfire, catching his attention as she saw the rift herself, and was getting sucked into it.
“Starfire!” he cried, getting the others attention, but too late as she was pulled straight in.
“She’s gone!” Bumblebee spoke out.
“Dude, first Robin vanishes, and now Starfire is sucked up in that rift thingy!” Beast Boy cried out, “What next?!”
“I believe some answers would be next right now.” Green Arrow said, as he looked to the heroes of the other world, “Right now, we should head back to Watchtower and learn a thing or two about you guys.”
“And please no mind reading,” White Tiger said, as she looked to Martian Manhunter “I think it be best that speak from our lips, thank you.”
“As you wish.” Martian Manhunter said, before speaking through a communicator, saying, “Transport us back.”
Before the visitors could asked what that was, they were instantly teleported away to the Justice League’s Watchtower, where all their questions, as well as the heroes of this world’s, would be answered.
Canterlot High: Human World: Present Day
“What the heck happened?!”
That was question that Sunset Shimmer asked as she, Sci-Twi and their friends had returned, only to discover a small crowd looking to where their study lab was, and as looked they discovered papers were scattered a little and the room looked a little messy.
“I have no idea,” one of the students, Sandalwood, said as he explained, “we were sorting things out with an up coming cake sale, when we heard a noise, next thing we knew, we saw that someone had came into the room, and seemed to have tried to take something.”
Sunset and Sci-Twi took a look around, checking most of the draws and cupboards, when most of their friends, as well as Principle Celestia and Vice Principal Luna came in as well.
“I’m sure who came in here didn’t take anything important,” Rainbow Dash’s human counterpart thought aloud, “it’s probably all just egghead stuff around here.”
After a few minutes of searching, Sci-Twi turned to her friends with worry, “Though, they did take something important… the blueprints for the device are gone!!”
“Who the heck would want the plans for that do-hicky?” Human Applejack asked.
“To probably try and collect magic for something big…” Sunset explained, getting a nervous as Sci-Twi was, “if that person were to do something like that, then…”
“It would be like what happened at the Friendship Games all over again.” Sci-Twi said, as she too was equally worried.
“You don’t think it could have been that new art teacher, do you?” Spike asked.
The question instantly got Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna as they looked to Sunset, Sci-Twi and Spike.
“New art teacher?” Celestia asked.
“That’s right,” Sci-Twi explained, “we saw him on our way to meet up with the others, he was quite rude… and a little creepy.”
The two sisters looked to each other with confusion and concern, as they looked back to the three.
“I’m sorry,” Luna said, “but I don’t my sister and I remember hiring a new art teacher for you unless we announced it.”
Surprised by this, Sunset began sinking in to what the vice principal had said, until Flash spoke up.
“And what about those pendants?” he asked, “It could be possible that he might have scavenged the whole room looking for them besides those blueprints as well.”
“Well, it’s all right,” Sunset said, as she and the others showed him the necklaces that they got back from Camp Everfree, “we had them with us the whole time, but still, something seems off, an unknown person who claimed to be an art teacher, as well as the blueprints missing… something is definitely going on.”
“Do you think we should contact the other me?” Sci-Twi asked Sunset.
“That could be a good idea,” Sunset nodded in agreement, “we should get my book and contact Twilight back in Equestria ASAP.”
As she and her friends headed to get her diary, Sunset was in deep thought to herself, ‘I just hope that Twilight isn’t having a problem quite similar to this…’
