"I see so Darkseid attempts to invade outworld." Shao Kahn said.
"Thats what we believe. None of us have forgotten the horrors he's done to Earth Realm and other worlds in the past." Raiden said.
"I can take him down. I did before." Superman said making Sean scoff.
"Please you barley pulled it off. The only reason you beat him is because you used his own weapon against him and still didn't kill him." Robbie said.
"This time I intend to finish what I started." Superman said.
"Don't even think about it. You'll only be clouded by your rage for what he did. No I'll handle him." Sean said.
"Look Fly boy if you do what we always do you can never be your old self again it only takes just one kill to keep doing it." Carter said making Superman sigh seeing their point.
"We'll figure out what to do about Darkseid later right now the Tournament is about resume again." Sean said.
"Agreed." Shao Kahn said.
Later
"So whats going to happen?" Diana asked.
"For now we continue the tournament." Sean said.
"Our next match will begin. Erza Scarlet against Sean Ashburn Kruger." Shang Tsung said as a red head woman with brown eyes and white skin walked to the center. She also was dressed in armor like a knight.
"Oh boy another redhead." Flash said fearing the worst before Hawkgirl and Jean bonked him on the head for the redhead comment since they were redheads.
"Shut up." Jean said annoyed.
"This should be fun." Sean said.
"Don't underestimate me." Erza said as two swords appeared in her hands.
ROUND 1 FIGHT!
Erza charged at him slashing her swords at him getting multiple cuts on him which healed almost instantly. Sean quickly jumped away from her before drop kicking her back.
"Not bad." Sean said before her armor changed into a different version she called heavens wheel and she controlled multiple swords in the air which she tried to attack him with had he not dodged them all swiftly.
"Impressive seems your victory against Red Sonja was not just luck after all." Erza said before trying to slash him again but he grabbed her sword in his hands which surprised her before he head butted her making her dizzy and wrapped his chain around her swinging her around the walls fast before she crashed into a pillar.
"I'm not the leader of the Riders for nothing." Sean said before she changed into a new armor again called purgatory armor and tried to smash him with her weapon but he just dodged and kneed her in the stomach making her lose the air in her lungs before giving her a powerful upper cut knocking her out.
"Ouch." Jean said before Sean picked her up.
"Let the next match begin. Storm against Thor." Shang Tsung said.
Erza slowly opened her eyes as Sean sat her down in the healing chamber of Outworld since he knew where everything was here. Also in the room was the still knocked out Red Sonja.
"Awake already?" Sean asked amused making her let out a small smile.
"I guess I underestimated you." Erza said.
"Your not the first." Sean said as he left to watch the other fights.
"And Thor wins so pay up." Tony said to Flash who groaned in annoyance before Storm blasted him with lightning.
"Is there ever not a time when a woman doesn't want to kill you?" Mileena asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Nope." Practically everyone said making a storm cloud appear of Flash's head while the others laughed.
"Ok whatever next match please." Sean said between laughs.
"Very well. Our masked warrior against Smoke." Shang Tsung said as Reznov and Smoke appeared in the center.
"Sean this masked killer who is he?" Batman asked.
"Let me guess you've dealt with him before haven't you." Sean said.
"Yes he killed two Gotham cops in cold blood." Batman said.
"Corrupted cops otherwise he wouldn't have killed them. His name is John Reznov a friend of mine from childhood. He's the best assassin in Russia due to his mutant power that basically makes him almost un killable. I'll ask about that later right now lets just watch the match then you'll get your answers." Sean said getting him to nod.
"May I at least have the name of my opponent?" Smoke asked.
"Call me the winter assassin." Reznov said.
(Skip fight)
"Not bad." Reznov said.
"How could you survive such fatal wounds?" Smoke asked.
"Because I'm a mutant thats why. Un killable." Reznov said.
"We'll see about that." Batman said entering the center.
"Damnit Bruce." Sean said.
"Oh its you again." Reznov said rolling his eyes in his helmet.
"You killed 2 Gotham Police officers in cold blood." Batman said.
"They were guilty cops besides like those at your Asylum who died by the Riders hand they got what they deserved." Reznov said getting into fighting position swirling his blades around.
(Skip fight)
"Your coming with me." Batman said.
"Batman enough." Sean said picking up Reznov. "Start the next match. I need a word with him." Sean said taking them to a different part of the area.
"Very well. Our next match will be Temari against Jinora." Shang Tsung said as the two wind fighters entered the arena.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Sean asked Bruce.
"He's a killer." Bruce said.
"No he's a soldier. He like you lives by a set of rules and one of those rules is never to kill innocent people or bystanders." Raiden said.
"So the officers he killed were guilty then?" Bruce asked.
"No shit sherlock." Reznov said standing up and cracking his neck. "Thats first time someone other then them took me down." Reznov said. "Look I only killed those two because I was under orders to." Reznov said.
"Orders from who?" Sean asked.
"General Sam Lane." Reznov said.
"Wait what?" Sean asked since that was Lois's father.
"Why would General Lane order you to kill them?" Bruce asked.
"I don't know I don't ask questions but he presented me enough evidence to prove they were guilty." Reznov said.
"I hate to break it to you Reznov but I think you might have been set up." Sean said.
"Huh?" Reznov said.
"General Lane, Lois's father is how should I put this? A fanatic for national security. I cant tell you the amount of times he's come to my office requesting me to find ways to have every enhanced person human or alien under the United states control and all those who opposed his ideas have gone well missing or end up dead. Though no one could prove it was him because of his reputation." Sean said.
"Wait your saying he lied to me?" Reznov asked not happy.
"More then likely." Sean said.
"Ok he's dead." Reznov said about to head back to earth.
"Don't even think about it." Sean said blocking his way with a wall of white fire.
"Out of my way Kruger." Reznov said.
"No he's right. If you kill him without a proper reason you'll be hunted down for the rest of your life." Raiden said making Reznov groan.
"Fine lets just get back and watch the other fights." Reznov said.
The four soon made it back to the others.
"So what did we miss?" Sean asked.
"Nothing much. Temari won her match against Jinora then Power Girl won her match against Skarlet and right now Tony is up against Cyrax." Diana said before Cyrax won his match.
"That should shut you up." Cyrax said.
"And as usual Tony pisses someone off." Sean said.
"Our next match will be Sean Ashburn Kruger against Korra." Shang Tsung said as a woman with brown skin brown hair and blue eyes walked into the arena.
"Well this should be interesting." Batgirl said.
"This is going to be easy." Korra said.
(Skip Fight)
"And as usual I'm underestimated." Sean said.
"No fair." Korra said pouting.
"Not my fault you got cocky." Sean said before a boom tube activated. "Oh great." Sean said before Darkseid walked through.
"Ah the ghost Rider of Earth." Darkseid said as if he was king here.
"The hell do you want?" Sean asked glaring at him.
"Simple I have come here to claim what should be mine." Darkseid said in arrogance.
"And what would that be?" Shao Kahn said getting his war hammer while the others prepared for the worst.
"Him." Darkseid said pointing to Sean. "My ultimate weapon." Darkseid said before trying to fire his omega beam at him but Sean deflected it away.
"Go to hell." Sean said activating the Ghost Rider state.
"It seems I have to be more forceful on capturing you." Darkseid said as his forces came through the boom tube.
ROUND 1 FIGHT!
Darkseid tried to use his powers to restrain him but Sean quickly dodged all his attacks before head butting him hard in the face making him crash into a wall.
"Today I'm going to finish what Superman didn't." Sean said wrapping his chain around Darkseid and smashed him into the pillars hard.
"Impressive you fight with such power even stronger then Superman. I will enjoy watching you conquering each world in my name." Darkseid said.
"Yeah fuck off. I will never serve the likes of you." Sean said punching him hard in the face making him spit out blood. "The Riders are summoned when the world is engulfed in to much evil." Sean said before kicking him back making him grunt in pain. "And as the leader of the Riders It is much duty to end the ones causing pain and suffering and you have caused enough!" Sean yelled slamming him hard in the face with his fist making him spew out blood.
Darkseid's forces were defeated or had retreated minus Lashina as she was captured by Supergirl and Sheeva.
"This is not possible. I am a god you are nothing but an instrument of my will." Darkseid said in denial while Sean in human form scoffed.
"Please your no god. Your just a killer of the innocent and now your time has come." Sean said about to end him.
"Not yet." A voice said before Darkseid was engulfed in a sphere and vanished.
"What just happened?" Liu Kang asked.
"Search the area and find him and his forces now!" Shao Kahn said as everyone started looking.
"That voice. It was powerful and deadly just like him." Sean said.
"What are you saying?" Kitana asked.
"I think whoever that voice belonged to was the one who gave Loki his army to conquer earth." Sean said.
Unknown location
Darkseid appeared out of nowhere from the sphere.
"Hmm? Who has brought me here?" Darkseid demanded to know.
"Still as arrogant and foolish as always Darkseid." A powerful voice said behind Darkseid making his eyes widen before turning around and saw the only person more powerful then himself a master of power and ancient knowledge.
"Thanos." Darkseid said blankly.
"Its been a long time my old friend. You were foolish to think you could defeat the leader of the Riders so easily." Thanos said.
"If he was alone I..." Darkseid tried to say.
"You still would have lost. However I cannot fault you for your attempt. Such power in a single human body. Remarkable. I have my own plans for him and earth. It would seem we have a common goal." Thanos said.
"What are you suggesting?" Darkseid asked.
"An alliance. In time we will conquer the Earth even with your arch rival high father in the way. When that happens all of the galaxy will belong to us. But first I need your help in finding what I seek." Thanos said.
"The infinity stones. And what of my search of the Anti Life Equation?" Darkseid asked.
"We will find that together." Thanos said.
Meanwhile
"Unfortunately we're going to have to call off the Tournament now since DarkSeid ruined it with his attempt to capture me." Sean said to the others.
"Where the hell did he even go?" Reznov asked.
"I have no idea." Sean said.
"I do." Lashina said after Sean managed to free her mind from Darkseid's control. "Only one being can do something like that and he's more powerful then Darkseid." Lashina said.
"More powerful then him?" Diana asked in surprise.
"His name is Thanos." Lashina said.
"That name sounds familiar. I'll look into with the other guardians once we get back." John said.
"Hey Talbot's on the line." Frank said.
"Talbot what is it?" Sean asked.
"You guys really need to get back here like now." Talbot said.
"What happened?" Raiden asked.
"Uh lets just say an exploration team found something you're not going to believe." Talbot said confusing them.
Later
"What in the world?" Sean said seeing a massive metal cube that was giving off waves of energy.
"Where did you find this?" Raiden asked.
"In the Arctic buried under 50 feet of ice. The strange thing is this." Talbot said entering a command into the device holding the cube and suddenly a container full of energon appeared.
"This thing whatever it is produces raw energon. I think we might be looking at the origin of where it came from." Sally said.
"Know anything about this?" Sean asked Raiden.
"No I've never seen this object before. But it clearly is powerful but I think you've only scratched the surface of its power." Raiden said.
"We need to keep this a secret for now. Whatever this cube is, is obviously from another world." Sean said.
Meanwhile in deep space
A metal figure stood on a platform looking at the burning metal landscape of its world when suddenly a screen appeared.
"By Primus it has finally been found." The Metal figure said.
Back on Earth
Sean was looking up at the stars when his sisters tackled him to the ground.
"What are you two doing? Your supposed to be in bed." Sean said amused.
"We don't have school tomorrow its a holiday." Dawn said.
"Oh right." Sean said scratching his head.
"Look a shooting star." Sarah said seeing a shooting star. However though it wasn't a shooting star as whatever it really was crashed down near the forest area near the mansion.
"Huh?" The Twins said in surprise.
"You two go back inside I'll see what that was." Sean said as they rushed inside to tell the others.
Sean made his way through the trees till he came upon the sight of what really crashed. It looked like a small pod and two women were seen on the ground in rags of sorts. Both had orange skin while one had red hair and the other had black hair. The girl with the Red hair opened her eyes reveling them to be green and spoke in an unknown language to him.
"Huh?" Sean said not understanding her till she pulled him into a kiss much to his surprise before she pulled back.
"Please help us." The girl said before she passed out.
"Well that was strange." Sean said before placing them on his shoulders and carried them back to the mansion.
"Sean whats going on?" Shayera asked before seeing the two girls. "Tamaraneans?" Shayera said in surprise.
"You know what they are? The red head just kissed me then started speaking english." Sean said making her grin.
"Thats how they learn languages. Don't know how that works but it does. They're Tamaraneans basically human like people with abilities like flight and super strength and star bolts but they usually only had red hair so I'm not sure why the other one has black hair." Shayera said.
"We'll figure that out later right now help me set up the guest room for them." Sean said.
