Chapter 67 - New Reality Unfolds

(General POV)

Location the New Earth: Utah, Guardians of the Globe Secret Base; Meeting/Announcement Room

In a wide room, inside a massive hallowed cave a rounded platform with a couple of path, that lead to various parts of the base, and the main doorway sealed behind a rounded, reinforced door with a small, metallic suspended bridge that lead to the meeting room itself, as a massive computer monitor off the side, which Robot or better said Rudy, as he wasn't in his suit, at the moment was typing away at the massive keyboard of the computer.

After sending Amanda, Rex, and Zandale to the medic wing of the base, he rushed over to confirm what Mao told them is 100% true, while waiting for Mark to report to them, from his personal patrol and investigation.

As Robot typed away, all around the room the other Guardians wait for either Rudy or Mark to tell them what happened, Darkwing, Shrinking Rae, Atom Eve, Dupli-kate, Knockout, and Black Samson were clearly anxious and doing anything to keep themselves calm, while Allen, he'd originally wanted to fly out the base, and go to space.

In hope to contact the Coalition, and maybe find some sense on what happened, or maybe any information on Mao and these Forsaken, cause he believed that the Coalition with so many aliens apart of it, should know of these bad guy...but Allen expressed in this manner "someone that fucked up, and twisted which makes Viltramites seem like a cakewalk, should be known by someone out there." Eve agreed, but convinced Allen to wait for Mark and Rudy to tell them, if their in another Earth.

Cause last thing they want is to lose their friend, and such a powerful powerhouse, wandering around in a unknown vast space, more likely filled with aliens that Allen, or any of them have ever faced before.

So Allen sighed, and agreed he was off the side, tossing a large rock around, waiting with clear boredom and impatience wafting off of him.

At that moment the entrance spun open, the Guardians saw Invincible walking in, at first they were excite to know what Mark discovered...when behind him came a couple of people they'd never seen before.

Behind Mark stood Batman, Superman, Flash, and Wonder Woman, immediately Atom Eve glowed a bit pink, as her friends gathered around her, ready to strike at any time, Invincible said with his hands raised, "Woah!! Woah. Woah. Guys chill. These guys are..." that's when Robot spoke up, "Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash, members and founders of the team called, Justice League." everyone looked at the olive skinned, red haired, young man, that left the computer and was walking towards the group.

Knockout, she placed her hands on her waist, and said, "So...does that mean..." Rudy sighed, and nodded, before he answered in a sadden tone, "Yes...I've checked everything in this planet. News, history, and more...in this new world..." Batman in his cool tone, "The Guardians of the Globe don't existed in this world. Like you, we were taken from our world, our multiverse by the Forsaken. Because of that we came to talk, and explain things to you all, so you don't have to go through the same as us..." that's when Shrinking Rae noticed that the woman, that resembles War Woman, called Wonder Woman is not all focused on them.

Like someone that suffered something, adjusting her glasses, she asked Wonder Woman is she's alright, Wonder Woman, she'd looked at her teammates and friends for a moment, before sighing and explaining what happened to lead to their abduction, and forced merger to this world...

Location the Undisclosed Area in tge Himalayas, Talon Headquarters; Meeting Room

Vendetta no longer bound to a makeshift throne, which she cleaved into pieces, then ordered some grunts to come into the room to repair things, and the broken window...at first the Talon grunts, were confused but Doomfist told them that they're under Vendetta's command.

So they did as she ordered, she was now the official leader of Talon, Vendetta, she looked around the room, staring at the one arm Doomfist who is now loyal to her, as well as Reaper, Sombra, Maximilian, Mauga, Widowmaker, Sigma, Moira, Emre, along with some she didn't expect to see, the Deathlock Gang leader Ashe, and her bodyguard Bob, the bounty hunter, standing next to Emre, Freja.

Vendetta turned to see her companion, Domina pulling out a holo-phone, trying to contact her company, only getting through some optnics that expressed they've been teleported to a stranger location, with some of the assets of the company, but they too couldn't contact her father, and workers.

Sombra with a quick flick of her fingers, found the drama-queen's subordinates...inside of Talon, seems that Mao was true to his word, and gave Domina 100% of her funds, and data...but not her gilded palace, when she said that, Domina scoffed, and walked over to the cyberpunk hacker.

Pointing at finger at her, calling a poor, and uncultured child, this lead to a back and forth between the two women...annoying Reaper as he grasp his mask and sighed in exasperation, Doomfist called out, "Ladies this is important meeting. With the situation, that Talon and all of us, find ourselves in. I believe that your meager pride...is strong enough to hold out, until this discussions are over." Domina glared at Sombra, with Sombra smirking back at the heiress.

Vendetta while scowling, she was actually appreciative of Doomfist's quick resolving of that bickering, maybe he'll prove useful for Vendetta's plans, afterall, especially since he can't never betray or scheme against her.

At that moment, Sombra stood in the center of the room, activating the holographic projectors, and hardlight technology to show everyone that...Mao wasn't lying.

Showing files on recent events, all dating 2026, satellite feed of the world, and recorded history, they weren't only in a world that is way less advance than what their used to, but also cleaner with Australia not being a irradiated wastezone, optnic have never been created or the optnic crisis ever happened, Overwatch was never formed, their rivals and acquiescences never existed, and worse...

In this world there are countless of super-powered, or highly trained, or mystical, or even "high-tech" geared individuals that make any of them a easy target to take out.

With files hacked from SHIELD, ARGUS, and even involved on HYDRA, from the second world war, the rise of the super soldier and first superhero, Capt. America.

That man, he'd saved the world from HYDRA's schemes, and survived...Sombra enficided that a man, survived being frozen for years, and is now one of the current, and greatest superheroes in the world, as videos of the blue, star-spangled man with a shield, fought against robots, super-powered threats, aliens, and worse.

Vendetta, smiled as a wolf never run from a worthy prey, she'd commanded Sombra to continue showing what other threats there are, Sombra looked unsure, then one look from Doomfist made her relent and do as Vendetta demanded.

Files on Spiderman, Winter Soldier, Wolverine, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Black Panther, and so on, all were displayed, as Ashe she'd whistled and adjusted her hat, saying, "Damn...here I thought I'd leave this place, and try my luck on remaking Deathlock...but seems, that me and Bob here, are staying." Ashe was many things, but stupid and suicidal aren't one of them.

Bob just stood there, arms crossed and standing protectively beside Ashe, following her with whatever she decided, Freja originally wanted to take Emre and after forcing him to tell her, what happened to him, leave together and find answers.

But in this new world, she was just a small fish with a crossbow, there are literal man that ignite on fire, fly and burn everything in their way, it was better to stay put with a "trusted" friend, until a better opportunity appears for her and Emre.

Domina saw the tech of Iron Man or better known as Tony Stark, a billionaire that has soo much tech, and brilliant ideas that she can benefit, as a greedy smile spread on her beautiful face, Moira aside from learning more on Mao and these Forsaken, she was interested on the Hulk, the super soldier serum, the X-gene, and more that has been shown in Sombra's display.

Vendetta then commanded Sombra to stop showing enemies...and start showing potential rivals, it was wise for them to be informed of threats before they move, Reaper, Mauga, Maximilian, and Doomfist agreed.

Sombra sighed, swiping away the heroes' files, and using SHIELD data, showed Talon the known criminal organizations and individuals within SHIELD's radar, starting with HYDRA itself...

Location Utah, Guardians of the Globe Secret Base; Meeting/Announcement Room

Invincible, Atom Eve, Robot, Allen, Darkwing, Shrinking Rae, Dupli-kate, Knockout, and Black Samson looked shell-shocked, as Wonder Woman has just revealed, that the Forsaken.

Real twisted son of bitches, they'd not only merged two Earths with different superheroes and villains, but cause the deaths of countless, if they didn't want to upset Mark, they'd compare it to Omni-man's turning rogue, and the Viltramite invasions, then the Forsaken have taken Chicago off the world, destroyed two cities of Jersey City, and Bludhaven, but also did this.

Take them from their world, all cause Mao and the Forsaken got annoyed that the heroes and villains of this merged world, started getting comfortable and becoming stale, so they made a sick game, and they were a prize!!!

But the heroes didn't win persay, but they didn't lose either, the game ended in a tie and for their lose...Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman looked uncomfortable, as they'd revealed that the Forsaken along with taking a billion people at random, they also targeted their loved ones, and most trusted non-heroes.

Superman even revealed his parents were taken, and Wonder Woman said a mentor and caretaker, Julia Kapatelis, Eve, Kate, and Rae felt bad, and Allen scratching his head said, "Damn sorry guys, that sucks big time." as Batman took over to tell the G.O.G. more about their situation.

After the Forsaken took them from their world, and months have passed with the League and Avengers, along with other heroes, they'd lost many close people, all while the Forsaken found it all amusing, Robot turned to look to his friends, seeing them all very disturbed.

He'd immediately understood why, their thinking of their families, he even saw Mark clenching his fist soo hard, that blood was starting to cover his gloved fists, Batman ever alert noticed the mood change, and the action Invincible is doing.

He spoke to them, telling them that as twisted as Mao is...he is a devil of his word, he only took them and left their families alone...Batman, he lifted his right arm, a holo-projection appeared.

Showing them their home...or better said previous home addresses, and their family members weren't there, they remained on their Earth, as Batman let another bomb drop, "Sometime ago, the League and others learned of some artifacts, called the Cores of Reality, with them Mao forcibly merged the Earths. But a survivor from Chicago found and stole those reality altering artifacts, escaping the Forsaken's world. Now we, along with many others are hunting them. As we believe not only are they the key to defeating the Forsaken, but reverting everything back to its, proper state." Batman sent a copy of this data to Robot.

Telling them that from what they've learned, the G.O.G. have face countless challenges and threats over the years, coming up on top everytime, proving themselves heroes that they can trust, Flash the most social of those that came, he spoke next, that the main reason that the League came...after looking for their people is because, they need allies against the Forsaken, and the Guardians need someone from this New Earth, so they can adjust better.

Until they can retrieve the Cores, fixing everything that the Forsaken have screwed up, so with a relax posture, Flash, he asked, "Look were not forcing you guys, if need time take it. But remember you guys still have each other, and we're also here to help out." Rudy thanked them, and requested some privacy.

Diana, Bruce, Clark, and Barry understood, Batman transfered five million dollars to them, so they can use it for a better life, in this Earth, as they get better acquainted and settled.

With that the Leaguers left, Invincible suggested they tell Monster Girl, Bulletproof, and Rex Splode what they'd learn, and also get their input on what they should do, but he also enficided that they have to something fast.

From what Mao warned, the Viltramites aren't finished and Angstrom is planning something horrible, from what Mao has expressed not only will it surpass the Omni-man, Viltramite, and Conquest attacks, but some of them die.

But Robot spoke up, "Not necessarily." looking around his team, all with expression of worry and anxiety, but also hope, since Rudy always has a plan, he continued, "These tragedies occurred, cause we were caught by surprise. Now with information and access to resources not of our world. We can not only fight back, better prepared, but also prevent greater tragedies and deaths." the Guardians were shocked, as they'd realized Robot was completely right.

With whatever they can acquire from this New Earth, they can form a better plan to fight these upcoming threats, and also survive it, with that revelation Allen, Invincible and his girlfriend, as well as partner, Atom Eve, they'd officially join the Guardians of the Globe, with that they started cheering up a little.

Thanking Robot for thinking fast, making him a bit bashful, as they started heading to the treatment room, so they can check on Amanda and the others, but also update them of the situation.

As they regardless if they like it or not, their apart of this crazy situation, now having to face off with enemies that they'd never imagined on fighting before, as well as joining a screw up hunt for these Cores, as that their only ticket back home.

The Guardians passed Invincible as he'd thought of his family...his mom, little brother, and even his dad...he really needs to get back, cause without him, their in danger, and he'll damn to let anything happen to them!!!

With resolve on his face, he flew after his friends and new teammates...
