"Dude… did that little girl just turn into a giant monster?" Beast Boy, former member of the now disbanded Doom Patrol and current solo vigilante, asked as he landed beside the huge guy in a hoodie as a green eagle and transformed back into his human form.
"Yes… yes she did." The guy in hoodie said, not even paying any attention to Beast Boy as he watched the monstrous… thing in front of them trashing the orange girl that had just kissed the boy she was with while yelling 'harlot' over and over again.
It was seriously disturbing.
"That's... a ghost?" The girl in cloak muttered with a somewhat disturbed look on her face as she gazed at the destruction before them that was getting bigger with the passing of each second. Also, a ghost? That sounded terrifying.
"If we were to go from official terms, Rika is what you would call a vengeful spirit. The soul of a dead that is full of negative feelings that allow them to remain in the physical plane." The guy that had been kissed said with a sigh and Beast Boy retracted his thoughts about ghost being scary, what he had said was far more terrifying!
"You! What exactly does that mean?!" Robin, the sidekick of Batman, demanded as he latched onto the guy's collar. On an unrelated note; oh god the Boy Wonder was here, the most well known young hero was here!
Though Beast Boy's excitement was rather short lived as the dude who said super scary things gripped the Boy Wonder's wrists and somehow flipped him off of his collar!
"Calm down Traffic Lights, your Batman is showing." He said as he dusted off his collar and turned towards the battle between super creepy vengeful spirit girl and alien girl.
"Man, of all the things to have to deal with." He said while scratching the back of his head and he walked towards the battle between two angry females. Rest in peace weird dude who said creepy things.
---------------------
Honestly, of all the possible ways this situation could go, it just had to be like this. I loved Rika, heavens knew I loved that little sociopathic murder loli, but her absolute lack of self control was going to get us both killed in a universe like this.
A fact that she was proving by picking a fight with Starfire like this, someone who was a low seventh tier with potential to become a high eighth tier; strong enough to fight against almost anyone in this universe, even Kryptonians.
So yeah, I had to stop this fight from escalating any further or the city would be in deep trouble.
So I concentrated deeply into the teachings in my soul that I had obtained from my template and allowed the energies from between universes to flow through me and purplish sparks appeared from my hands, forming into circles as I thrusted them towards the two fighters who were busy destroying the city.
"That's enough!" And the circles flew out of my hands and towards the combatants, capturing both of them as they phased into their bodies and became bindings.
"Zarbnarf!"
"James?!" They cried out but I merely held my hand up towards Rika.
"No, we will talk about this later." I said and the monstrous form of Rika shrunk until her little girl form was the only thing remaining inside the magic circle, pouting at me in an effort to make me forgive her.
"No." Instead I raised my finger against her and gave her a small glare in order to make my displeasure known to her before I turned towards my other captive.
"I assume that you can understand my words." I said, completely unbothered by the glowing green glare she was giving me.
"I swear to X'Hal that you and that beast of yours will pay…"
"I'll take that as a yes." I said with a roll of my eyes before sighing.
"I would like to apologize in the place of my friend. The… lip contact you made with me is considered to be a very intimate act between two lovers and the way you did it made her think that you were forcing yourself on me." I said with a small bow, giving her a little white lie as Rika likely would have attacked even if the kiss had my consent, which made her flinch. Not sure if it was due to me apologizing or the fact that her action could be considered as 'forcing herself on me', it likely depended on how close her backstory was compared to her comic book counterpart.
"I… apologize for that." Well that was easy. She could be faking it just for me to release her but her body language and tone made me think otherwise. Just in case I released her at the same time as I released Rika from her magic circle too.
"Well, now that we are all willing to talk…"
"You should leave." Starfire interrupted me before I could finish, her face set on a frown.
"There are people who are after me and you all will just get hurt if you stay near me." She said with a glare as her eyes glowed a brighter green, likely reflecting her anger towards her enemies.
"Umm, excuse me!" The child with green skin, that was more than likely Beat Boy, made himself known as he raised his hand as if he was in class.
"What is it, small green creature?" Starfire asked, looking less than interested in Beast Boy.
"First of all, I'm not small; I'm fun sized. Second, would these people who are after you happen to be green scaled aliens wearing yellow armor and going around in a super big spaceship?" The shapeshifter asked, making the alien princess look at him with surprise.
"Yes, that's exactly how they are. How did you know? Are you some sort of oracle?" She asked with a tilt of her head, making Beat Boy scratch the back of his head.
"Not really, but you might want to look behind you." He said as he pointed behind us where a spaceship was hovering over the city with a giant hologram of a green scaled and yellow armored alien on it.
"Hear me earthlings!"
How did I miss that?
