The Conversion Bureau: The Multiversal Fronts

by KrspaceT

Vs the Justice League

Earth was not a stranger to horrible events, far from it.

For the Earth was a world of heroes. Champions of all orders, famous and obscure, who fought for the good of all. Aliens and men, wizards and warriors, man and woman, they could be found all over the world.

They had fought against alien conquerors and demons from beyond, criminals with guns and criminals with ice guns.

Not long ago the dead themselves had rose.

So when the mysterious energy barrier had formed on the edge of Star City, the world did not react as one might think.

They did not panic, they did not fear, for the superheroes were there.

....

On a hill overlooking the sea beyond, the waters and shore now covered by a ever growing wall of pink that destroyed all it touched, a man stood.

He was an odd chap, dressed in green and armed with a bow. He also had a goatee, a odd yellow thing.

"......Everyone's out?" he asked to one that did not appear to be there. However as he asked a red blur appeared behind him before slowing down, revealing a man dressed entirely in red, with a lightning bolt symbol on his chest.

"Star City's been completely evacuated," the man confirmed, sounding relieved about it "We have virtually no casualties".

"That's good......after we barely avoided that incident with Prometheus and I really am glad that we didn't just delay the inevitable." Looking up, the two masked men saw four men, masked in green and black with green auras, fly towards the barrier.

The four men took up sides around the barrier, before they formed a variety of giant green energy constructs (Swords, guns, drills, a giant robot with drill swords and guns), and began to hammer at the barrier.

It had no noticeable effect.

"Is that really the best idea Bruce could come up with?" The archer questioned incredulously. The man in red turned to the archer, an eyebrow raised.

"Hardly Ollie, this is only the first plan."

....

Meanwhile on a satellite in space, a dark and brooding man stood over a holographic display of the situation at hand.

(BLOW UP DAMMIT!)

"Gardner seems annoyed." A man in blue with a red cape, a large S crest on his chest observed.

"Then he is clearly fine. Zatanna, are you ready to give it a shot?"

"You got it Bruce!" A female voice announced from the holographic display, even as odd words began to flow from it (REIRRAB EVLOSSID!)

"So, we're already on plan B?" The S bearer questioned as the brooding man shook his head.

"Hardly. That implies I only have 26 plans. Speaking of which, you're going to be helping set up plan 13."

"Well if I can't punch the magic barrier....." the man snarked, before resolving himself to the task "Okay Bruce, tell me what this plan of yours is."

.....

"That plan is a horrible idea."

"Then hope that in the time it takes you to find it we'd have deal with this instead of resorting to such extremes."

....

Plan 5

A man in red with a white shoulder cape was flying along the top of the barrier, louding shouting the word SHAZAM. Lightning would fall as he did so, the man dodging the falling bolts and having them strike the barrier.

Have Captain Marvel fly over the barrier, shouting down the name of the Wizard to bring down powerful magical lightning to destroy the barrier. Results, ineffective

Plan 7

A giant kracken, larger than some countries, rose from the nearby sea. A man in gold and green stood upon the beast, and pointed at the barrier. The Squid promptly began to smash at the barrier, even as he and a dozens other emerging from the seas began to attack it with energy weapons.

Have Aquaman lead an Atlantean attack on the barrier with magic, technology, and giant sea monsters. Results, ineffective

Plan 12

A man in silver armor, a red mark on his chest, flew at the barrier at fast speeds, even as a caped man in a bronze helmet followed

Have Captain Atom use his energy absorption powers to drain the odd energies of the barrier that are not magical, then have Doctor Fate dispel the magical portion of the barrier. Results: Captain Atom unable to absorb the energies: Doctor Fate instead required to prevent explosion. Atom should return to us in a few weeks mostly unharmed.

Plan 15

A man in red and blue began to shrink rapidly in front of the barrier.

Have The Atom, not to be mistaken with Captain Atom, shrink down small enough to pass through deformities in the barrier and disable it from within. Result: Mission aborted upon discovery that there are no holes in barrier.

Plan 18

A man in yellow and orange whose hair was fire itself formed several glowing orange blasts of energy, striking the ground before the barrier. From each strike, a wall formed: each made of different materials.

Have Firestorm form a series of barriers made up of various powerful materials to test potential barriers to block barrier. Result: Nyth metal, Kryptonite, Radion, and other exotic materials not effective barrier material.

Plan 20

The helmeted Doctor fate, along with a blue man with horns and several people in wizardry garb, vanished into darkness

Have Doctor Fate lead a strike team into the barrier through Hell. Results: Barrier leaked into hell. So far has no sign of sucking barrier down into it, instead only expanding into it.

Plan 21

Have Wonder Woman get Greek Gods to deal with it. Results: Gods refused.

Plan 22

From the sky above, a trio of harsh lights fell upon the barrier. Great beams of destruction, leaving ruin in their wake.

Manipulate/trick/convince Lex Luthor to fire his satellite lasers at the barrier. Results; Ineffective, but Luthor is once more a wanted man for having illegal space lasers.

Plan 25

A scantily clad red-head with green tinted skin waved her hands before the portal. A duo of giant vines rose up, cracking the streets as they escaped the earth and lunged at the barrier.

Get Poison Ivy to aide us on carrot of barrier having unknown effects on plant life. Use plants to enter barrier and destroy source. Results: Plants successful in infiltrating barrier, but Poison Ivy unable to control them inside of it.

Plan 30

Dozens of heroes stood around the now swollen barrier, which now had removed about half of the city. Among them was the archer, but also a young man in blue, bug-like armor, a black teen levitating on a floating metal disc laced with electricity, a hispanic woman with green hair, a blond woman in black, a red robot, Firestorm, several of the men in green, a black man whose hands sparked with dark electricity, and a man dressed in a golden uniform.

Have an assortment of heroes blast the barrier simultaneously, unleashing a wide variety of power sources on it. Results.....

"Bruce! I'm coming in hot!"

Inconclusive, as a loud sonic boom shook the sky as the caped hero from before returned, a struggling gray mass in hand.

"Everyone, clear the area! Plan 13 is about to be implemented! Booster, quickly to me!"

Plan 13A

Have Superman find Doomsday, the Lifeform that recovers every time it dies , and throw it at the barrier.

Results: Ineffective, Doomsday dies on impact, bodily partially dissolves away.

Plan 13B

Have time traveler Booster Gold go to the future Doomsday revived in, bring Doomsday back, throw it back at the barrier.

Results.....Successful. Barrier and all lifeforms maintaining it destroyed. Attackers revealed to be magical horses. Resulting paradox removed the Doomsday from the future before resulting rampage in civilian areas.

Promptly begin recovery of ruined parts of Star City.

.....

Due to the world's experience in earth threatening crisis, this world of heroes was able to respond with the good will and cooperation of the civilians and local governments, being the 4th world saved from the Barrier.

48 more worlds still fear the dangers.

Among them another world of heroes: one that was not so fortunate.

Author's Note:

While I am not a hater of the New 52, the longer history of the pre New 52 makes this comic a bit easier. Also note that some of that continuity will be ignored.

JUSTICE!

Chapter inspired by Batman vs Superman film. It is not as bad as the critics say.

[Mr cold ghost]

The part at the end about the other world of heroes that was not so fortunate. Would that be the marvel earth by chance?

[Dustchu]

Hahahahaha, that was funny, nice job.

[NewKerbalEmpire]

Ooooh! Idea! Try Adventure Time! Also, I do indeed hope that the Main Six each get their own universe to try and conquer. These nobles are all unfamiliar to me (because they're OCs) and as a result I have trouble quantifying their characters due to the lack of established characteristics.

Also, I think it would be fun to read one about Sesame Street, but I understand how hard writing something like that would be. And you can also write a hundred words or so on how one of the ponies ends up assigned to the EqG universe and leaves because that would be too weird.

[KrspaceT]

7078357 Well given that the Image Universe never went anywhere.....yeah the Marvel Earth.

[floppy_seal99]

Why not Worm?

The Simurgh, Behemoth, Leviathan, Skitter, Jack Slash, and the Triumvirate versus the Equestrians. I actually pity the ponies.

[KrspaceT]

7086562 I have never seen anything of Worm

[floppy_seal99]

it's here, at Worm. Be warned. It's really fucking long. However, it's also supremely well-written and for almost the entire thing, an incredibly realistic take on superheroes in a post-Cold-War universe.
Notable or really dark concepts/moments/characters:
-The government is willing to sponsor/recruit superheroes that may or may not be sincere reformed villains/violent vigilantes.
-Heroes may not be such great people, and the entire story plays with the question of whether the ends justify the means. Sometimes, villains are better civic protectors than heroes. Ex(s): One rather powerful superhero got his powers in large part to do something worthwhile with his life and to stroke his ego after being crippled during what's implied to be 'Nam. Some heroes are willing to orchestrate the gruesome deaths of villains simply to further their own careers.etc.
-Powers are gained when people suffer psychological breakdowns. The type of underlying stress, and how violent/conflicted the sufferer was in dealing with that stress plays a large part in what powers are obtained and how strong those powers are.
-Africa contains the largest number/concentration of parahumans in the world. That's rather telling in how much more of a shithole the continent is ITTL.
-Giant monsters called Endbringers pop up every few weeks and casually kill absurd numbers of people and destroy cities/landmasses. Madison, WI; Kyushu; and Newfoundland are just a few of the casualties.
-China has an emperor again! (He is Mao's grandson, however. Kinda sucks.) And they got rid of the Norks.
-New England is full of superpowered Neo-Nazis.
-A grieving omnicidal widower who may be somewhere on the autism scale is beaten/stabbed/killed to death with his own missing body parts in one of the story's most pivotal scenes.
The list goes on. It's the perfect setting for a TCB fic.

[KrspaceT]

7088994 As a New Englander who prides himself on it's superiority and diversity, the simple statement of New England being ruled by Neo-Nazi's turns me off from it. Really, there are plenty more areas far more suited to bowing to Neo-Nazi rule in the country than New England.

[floppy_seal99]

7090381

Well...it's only part of New England- and a fictional city at that. In reality, the super-Nazis have major recruitment issues. The fact that their former leader Allfather pulled together almost all the white-supremacist supervillains from all across the country means that they outnumber the local government-sponsored heroes by an almost 2-1 margin. However, any new capes the Nazis want must be sought locally in the city or brought in from Europe. Everywhere else has run dry. The Protectorate can keep pulling heroes from LA, NYC, or Houston, and the other gangs have plenty of druggies or frustrated Asian college students that trigger. (Yes, Brockton Bay is rather racially divided in Worm) The Nazis are actually pretty evenly matched, or are being played by more powerful groups of assholes. I did kinda simplify it a little overmuch.

[Ganondad42]

7090381 Can you fo a Zelda one next, or at least some ways down the road. With Ganondorf being key in driving the ponies out...

But really like this chapter. Wouldn't the orange or white power rings have worked on the barrier though?

[KrspaceT]

7121333 Perhaps white, but getting Larfreeze to help would likely have required a very big bribe. I mean, I suppose Larfreeze could have gotten the ponies inside, but would he want them?

[Atlas55]

Do a Star Wars one, and have the Imperial Fleet and the Death Star send those B****** Packing!

[KrspaceT]

7122021 That.....would also destroy the entire planet. Sure the Empire would probably do it, but if they blow up something important they'll make the Rebellion look very good.

[Atlas55]

7136032 Since when does the Empire care if they look better then Rebel Scum? Besides, i'm sure it would be a very popular Chapter.

[KrspaceT]

7170690 Yep, that is Speed Demon(s) from PPG

[Wanderer101]

How I thought it was going to go.

Plan 1: Batman Glares at Barrier

SUCCESS! Barrier instantly dissolves because it knows better...

[mrkillwolf666]

i want to see vs the l4d world

[Rakaziel]

Conversion Bureau vs Red Alert 2 (and Yuri's Revenge) would be interesting to see. Does the Barrier stop mind control?

[The_Poket_Umbreon]

I can't wait to see the Harry Potter and the last Airbender takedowns

[Ariel Schnee]

I want to see a Vs RWBY.^_^

[bh18]

All that and Wayne's working plan is to throw a guy at it, twice.

[Cipher800]

8708473
Don't know 'bout that guy, it's hard to say what his fate is. If he's not converted, he probably escaped and may have even supported Bowser in his conquest against the nobility-controlled Mushroom Kingdom.

Between you and me, I want an aftermath to that chapter.

[MegaMasterKing]

7222499
No that is just Mr. Popo dressed up as Batman😈

[black night sun]

7090381
If you would be so kind do a undertale versus the conversion bureau I'd love to see them fight asriel dreemurr the god of hyperdeath, Chara dreemurr the demon that comes when you call their name, Omega flowey or just plain old sans

[Nitro19]

Good story, would like to see it get an update.
