Hal Jordan from the personal card collection of Green Lantern
The Sunny Skies Above the Southern California Coast
Di Di Queen awoke to bitter sting of her hair slapping her face and eyes. She had experienced the insecure feeling of falling from the clouds before. This time she was too distracted by the fact that she was in her Green Arrow costume to feel the full horror of the situation. “It’s happening again,” she thought as she felt her throat knowing fully well that her sonic cry was gone…again. The “hows” and “whys” of her waking up in another horrific fall over the California coast didn’t matter at the moment. All that was important was survival.
“Last time Daniel was falling too,” she mused as she turned to see if her beau was also falling somewhere nearby. That was when she noticed the verdant glow of Green Lantern Hal Jordan and the sinister smile on his face.
“I can’t believe it!” she thought as the Green Lantern assumed an attack position. “I am really back in the Universe of Evil again!” She reached into the quiver that she sensed on her back and drew an arrow. “The power battery for this universe’s Green Lantern runs like Alan Scott’s,” she thought as she readied the collapsible bow in her possession. “A simple stick manipulated the right way could take care of this Green Lantern.”
Before the daughter of Oliver and Dinah Queen could aim, an energy based green dragon appeared before her in the sky. Its thirty-foot tail waving in the air was a frightening sight, but the newly christened Black Canary only thought about positioning and trajectory. Her very life depended on it.
Thwip! The energy dragon immediately dissipated upon contact. Though she hadn’t planned it, the blunt arrow not only successfully eliminated the threat of the dragon, but it went on to strike her attacker in the shoulder.
“You’re gonna pay for that, witch!” shouted Hal Jordan as a barrage of razor sharp oriental stars burst forth from his power ring.
The blonde bombshell dived downward to avoid being sliced by the onslaught of blades. She shot three more arrows simultaneously at the evil Green Lantern, two of which turned into boxing gloves and pummeled his jaw and chest. Then sparks of green fire raged in a fury from the Green Lantern’s ring. When Di Di’s cape caught aflame she quickly discarded it, attached to an arrow and sent it straight for her prey. Hal Jordan panicked when the flaming cape covered his face and began flailing in the sky. Due to his excessive movement his body edged nearer to the “Green Arrow.” Seizing her opportunity, the beautiful heroine grabbed the evil Green Lantern, ripped the power ring off of his finger, and placed it on her own. To her amazement her costume was immediately transformed into that of a Green Lantern.
Noting that she would imminently crash into the rocky shore below she shouted, “Stop our fall.” After quite a bit more concentration a green blanket appeared around Hal Jordan and smothered the flames all over his costume. He was unconscious, but the ring had prevented his body from any significant harm. The new mistress of the power ring ordered her new weapon to create a straight jacket for her prisoner. Noting that her Hall of Justice communicator was not working, she decided to head eastward to deliver Hal Jordan to Gull’s Island prison.
“Now to figure out how I ended up in the Universe of Evil and more importantly, how to get back home,” she thought.
Gotham City, New York
Helena Wayne woke up to the stench of rotting garbage. Strands of her hair were stuck to her cheek by a gum-like substance. She flicked a rotten tomato off of her costume and sat up to find herself in the center of a garbage dump. There were numerous small, green worms and some cockroaches with her.
“Déjà vu,” she thought as she secured a Bat-line to the roof of a nearby tall building. “Could I be in the Universe of Evil again?”
Removing a pair of Bat-binoculars from her utility belt, she scanned the area. “This is the exact same location I was in last time. Did we experience some type of explosion at the Hall of Justice during the Super Friends meeting?”
She pondered the wisdom of changing into civilian clothing and going to ‘her’ apartment, which was owned by Christopher M. Martin in this universe. The Sportsmaster in the Universe of Evil was the protégé of the late Lex Luthor, both of whom were heroes. Just as the Huntress was about to stow her binoculars she noticed some suspicious activity at a new building. She adjusted the focus to find that Gotham City in the Universe of Evil now had their very own S.T.A.R. labs.
“Curiouser and curiouser,” she thought as she swung in the direction of the building. It only took her two and one-half minutes to arrive. She hid herself ably in the shadows to stake out the building before making any decisions or early moves.
BOOM! “Stealth was a good plan,” thought the Dark Knight daughter as she watched the evil Superman spin head over feet out of the fresh hole in the outer wall of the S.T.A.R. labs building.
“Grundy smash alien!” shouted a zombie-like hulk.
Helena watched Bizarro fly out of the building as she loaded her crossbow and stood by to help if needed. “If Superman is a bad guy here…does that make Solomon Grundy and Bizarro good guys?”
Then the Cheetah came running out of the building in a panic. Aquaman followed her with obvious intent to kill. Suddenly, the evil King of Atlantis was frozen in his tracks from an ice beam coming from a different building. The Huntress quickly took her binoculars out again and traced the trajectory of the beam to a Caucasian man dressed in blue and white. “Captain Cold,” she thought. Then her attention turned back to the Cheetah.
“You have just been cheated by the Cheetah!” remarked the feline who had only pretended to run afraid from Aquaman. “Thanks for the asssssssssissssssst, Captain!”
[glow=red,2,300]Ping! Ping! Ping! [/glow]“What’s this now?” thought the daughter of the Catwoman as Wonder Woman came out of the S.T.A.R. labs building backwards. She was playing ‘bullets and bracelets.’ Helena changed positions to see better and prepared her wrist launcher with a ‘knock-out’ dart.
An army of toy soldiers and tanks came out of the building and launched an all-out war on the evil Amazon. One of the tanks bore a flag with the Toyman’s face on it. Helena could hear high pitched giggles coming from the vehicle.
“Cute,” thought the Huntress. “What is this? A good version of the Legion of Doom?”
Bullets flew everywhere as Wonder Woman put her full concentration into defending herself from her attackers. Then without warning a red-headed woman dressed in leopard skin came from out of the shadows and grew to the size of fifty feet.
STOMP!
“Great set-up, Toyman!” said Giganta.
“Thanks, Super-sis!” answered the Toyman.
Then the Batman came swinging out of a window on the top floor of the S.T.A.R. labs building. Helena’s blood curdled as she thought of the perversion of the evil Bruce Wayne daring to wear the uniform of the Batman to commit crime.
“You Super Fiends are going right back to prison!” shouted the Sportsmaster as he followed the Knight of Darkness.
“You think your silly ‘Legion of Hope’ can capture us?” jeered the Batman.
“Legion of…Hope?” thought the Huntress as she continued to watch the battle between the Sportsmaster and the Batman. She trained her bolo at her ‘uncle’s” ankles and tossed it. The Sportsmaster was surprised to see his foe trip and stumble.
Thwip! The Batman fell unconscious at the dart of the Huntress.
“Who?” asked Christopher Martin.
“I am the Huntress,” declared the steel-eyed beauty as she jumped down from her perch, “and I always get my prey.”
A silly schoolboy grin came over the Sportsmaster’s face at the sight of the woman of his dreams. “Huntress!”
“No time for playing right now, boss!” said the Toyman.
“It looks like Solomon Grundy and Bizarro are having difficulty capturing Supahman,” said the Cheetah.
“…And he’s heading towards Belle Reve!” added Giganta.
The Sportsmaster quickly scribbled a message, folded it, and handed it to the Huntress. “Read this later…In case I don’t see you again before you go home.” He gave her a quick peck on the cheek and said with a blushed face, “Thanks for the help. Do you think you could deliver these three to Gull’s Island Prison?”
“No problem,” answered Helena Wayne as Captain Cold finished securing Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman in the back of a jeep. “I am always glad to assist the good guys.”
“You can borrow my car,” said Leonard Snart.
The Huntress watched the Legion of Hope dash off towards the south as she drove away.
Gull’s Island Prison: The Cell of Wonder Woman
Princess Donna woke up laying on a cold and damp concrete floor. She had a headache and her vision was blurred.
“Where am I?” she whispered as she rubbed her bruised back. “What happened to me?” She was crippled again. The beauty and strength she once enjoyed from the properties of her armor and weapons was now gone. She lay helplessly in an old ragged dress.
“She did this to you,” explained an eerie female voice.
Wonder Girl glanced up and squinted her eyes and realized in horror that she was at home once again in the Universe of Evil. “Lilith!” she exclaimed.
“When you appeared suddenly in your sister’s cell she beat you almost to the point of death and took back the weapons and armour you stole from her,” explained Lilith.
“Diana did this to me!?!” cried the young adopted Amazonian. “I HATE HER!!!”
“She broke out and rescued the Super Fiends. They escaped and went on a villainous rampage. But don’t worry, my friend,” said Lilith in a soothing and comforting voice. “You will have your opportunity for revenge soon. Your friends will be coming for you. Princess Diana will be returned to the very cell you are in and you can take back your weapons. They will offer for you to stay here in our universe, but you have to go back to the Universe of Good with them. Horrible things will happen if you stay here.”
“I don’t want to be here anyway,” sobbed the homely princess.
“I have seen the future,” said the red-haired beauty. “You and I are the only hope for our universes to survive the coming crisis. But we will have to keep our plan a secret. No one must know.”
“What plan?” asked Donna in confusion. “What crisis?’
“Listen carefully to my every word…” began Lilith.
Fifteen Minutes Later
Lilith discontinued sharing her evil plan when she heard the noise of the footsteps which marked the arrival of the first restored prisoner.
“This way,” said Commissioner Harvey Dent as he directed the new female Green Lantern to a cell. He opened the cell and a green energy beam gently deposited an unconscious Hal Jordan onto the small, hard bed. “I cannot thank you enough for your help, Miss…?”
“You can call me Sonic Boom,” said the Green Lantern.
“Di Di!?!” shouted Wonder Girl. “Is that really you?”
“…yes,” answered the new Black Canary in a sad hesitation. “Donna…what happened to you?”
“My sister Diana beat me, stole my weapons, and left me here like this,” answered the teen bitterly. “Can you get me out of here?”
“NO!” shouted Lilith. “Not yet.”
Sonic Boom walked in irritation to the cell of Lilith and asked, “What are you trying to pull?”
“Trust me. Just wait for another few moments,” answered the green-eyed lady mysteriously.
“Why should I trust you?” demanded the blonde Green Lantern.
Then the door to the prison hall opened again and the dark visage of the Darkknight Daughter entered with a small assembly of prison guards. Wonder Woman, Batman, and Aquaman were in their custody.
“Huntress!” shouted Di Di Queen.
“Nice costume. How many of us made the leap to the Universe of Evil this time?’ asked Helena Wayne.
“Just the three of us, as far as I know,” answered Di Di Queen motioning to Wonder Girl.
The prison guards placed Aquaman and Batman in their cells. Helena stared down the Batman as he glared at the woman who could have been his daughter.
Three guards assisted the sedated princess of Themyscira to her cell. “We brought you back your cellmate,” said one of the guards as he threw Diana onto her crippled sister. Donna quickly removed the Belt of Beauty, the Bracelets of Strength, and the Lasso of Deception from her sister and was instantly transformed into the beautiful Wonder Girl.
“…and this time I am taking the Tiara of Telepathy with me too,” she said as she removed her sister’s red-starred crown. She placed it on her forehead and turned around to see Lilith smile devilishly.
“You are welcome to return with us if you would like, Donna,” offered the Huntress. “But if you want to stay here we understand. There is a new super-hero group here called the Legion of Hope. They could use your help in bringing order to this world.”
Lilith gave a mysterious nod of confirmation to Wonder Girl. “No, I think I will be returning with you,” answered the beautiful titan.
“So, does anyone have a plan on how to get home?” asked Sonic Boom thoughtfully.
“I can answer that for you,” said Lilith. “You all came here by accident. A villain from your universe trapped you into a dream and you three were all literally transported here.”
“How do you know this?” challenged the Huntress.
“I just know,” answered the empath. “If two or more of you return to sleep, you can easily transport to your home. This was supposed to only be a dream. You can break the nightmare by waking up simultaneously. But if any of you are late in waking up you will be trapped here.”
“How are we going to manage that?” asked Di Di.
“It won’t be too difficult,” answered Helena Wayne. “This has been a long and tiring day for both of you, Donna and Di Di. Falling asleep shouldn’t be to hard considering how comfortable you are feeling. Even as I speak you eyelids are feeling heavy and your entire bodies are feeling very relaxed. You are feeling very, very sleepy. In fact, you cannot even keep your eyes open. You are now entering a deep and restful sleep. When I count to the number five you will both awaken feeling refreshed and alert and ready to face whatever villain is threatening our friends at the Hall of Justice. One..two…three…four…five.”
The Hall of Justice (The Universe of Good)
“Listen up, everyone,” said Power Guy authoritatively as he stood on the Hall of Justice meeting table, “We need to identify the location of every member of the Titans of Justice and then we need to come up with a rescue plan for those members who are missing.”
“Please respond when your codename is called. If you are aware of the whereabouts of anyone unaccounted for please share the information when their name is called,” instructed Wonder Warrior.
Air Wave – “Present.”
Arachnid – “I don’t know why we have to do this. You can see that I’m here.”
Argos – “I can confirm that Argos is currently on mission in the South Pacific,” answered Kid Comet.
Atmosphere – “He was in my dream,” answered Stellar. “I saw two dinosaurs fighting over his cape.”
“Was Aura there too?” asked Wonder Warrior. “Yes,” answered Stellar grimly.
Black Adam – “Confirmed ín Kandaq,” answered Lieutenant Atom.
Blackbird – “Don’t ask,” answered Nightvision. “She’s in Gotham.”
Black Orchid – “I haven’t seen her around too much lately,” answered Black Vulcan, “But she did confirm that she is alive and well when I contacted her.”
Black Vulcan – “I am also alive and well,” answered Celeste Pierce.
Dark Arrow – “He’s on his way,” answered Green Lantern. “Do you think it would be more expedient for a few of us to start working on a plan to rescue Sonic Boom, Huntress, and Wonder Girl from the Universe of Evil?”
“GL, we aren’t even sure if that’s where they really are,” answered Air Wave
.
Doctor Fate - “Doctor Fate and Firebrand are both on a mission in Khandaq with Black Adam and the others,” answered Lt. Atom.
Flash – “I can’t get her to respond,” answered Velocity. “She was in my dream…she…she and Junjie, they…We need to find them.”
“We will,” assured Totem.”
Green Lantern – “Present, and I still feel that we need to start working on a plan to find Flash, Huntress, and the others.”
“GL, calm down, man,” suggested Wonder Man. We are already working on it.”
Hawkgirl – “Here,” said the Thanagarian thrasher with a wave of her mace, “and I’m with Green Lantern on this one.”
Huntress – “She’s in the Universe of EVIL!” exclaimed Green Lantern, “and we need to DO something about it!”
“I think GL’s got a point,” agreed Whirlpool, “and I need to get back to Atlantis to check on my home. Some really bad things happened in my dream.”
“Just another few moments, guys,” said Wonder Warrior in an effort to bring a sense of control to the group. “Can I assume that Isis is with Black Adam and Firebrand in Kandaq?”
“Comfirmed,” answered Lt. Atom.
Jemstone – “Here,” answered superstar Jerrica Benton.
Kid Comet – “Present,” answered the telepathic titan with his fingers at his temples, “and I have located both the Flash and Junjie Quick. Both are safe.”
“Praise the Lord,” whispered Green Lantern.
Lady Light – “Here. Maybe there is a chance that all of these nightmares have been nothing more than just that: dreams,” answered the lovely oriental heroine in an effort to encourage the team.
Lt. Atom – “Present, and I am still unable to contact any of the Rangers.”
”Was Mirage in your dream, Stellar?” asked Wonder Warrior.
“Yes,” answered the Star Spangled Kid.
Nightvision – “Here. Don’t worry, Stellar. We’ll find them.”
Stellar felt it very strange that Nightvision should comfort him now in public after alienating him at the Super Friends meeting. It almost seemed as if he were two different people.
RING! RING! “Can you get the phone, Hawkgirl?” requested Wonder Warrior.
“Hall of Justice,” answered Hawkgirl. Then the red and blue visage of the world’s smartest super-hero appeared from out of the receiver.
“That was a timely entrance, Nucleus,” commented Wonder Warrior. “I was just planning to ask if anyone knew anything about your whereabouts.”
“The Queen Bee and I were doing dwarf star research,” answered Nucleus.
“It’s good to hear that she is also accounted for and well,” said Wonder Warrior.
Phantom Lady – “She is also in Kandaq with the others,” answered Lt. Atom.
Power Guy – “Present. Does anyone know where Power Lad is?” asked the Kryptonian powerhouse. The assembled heroes looked around.
“He was here earlier,” answered Bulletboy.
“And I am on my way out,” announced the loose cannon as he flew into the meeting room.
“Where have you been?” asked Ky-El.
“Trying to contact my dad,” answered Power Lad in clear irritation.
“How is he doing?” asked Vince.
“I can’t contact him. Someone has swiped both my cellphone and my dad’s!”
“What were you doing with your dad’s cellphone?’ asked White Wraith.
“I swiped it,” answered the angry teen frankly. “Look, I am heading out of here. I gotta find my dad.”
“But –“ began Wonder Warrior.
“Let him go,” advised Power Guy softly.
Powerstorm – “He is in the South Pacific with Argos,” answered Green Lantern. “I asked the two of them to look for the Rangers.
Wonder Warrior looked up at the emerald gladiator and thought for a moment. “Good work, GL. I hope they find them soon.”
Then Sargona entered the building and said to Green Lantern. “I haven’t been able to find anything on Wonder Girl, Huntress, or Sonic Boom yet.”
“Thanks for looking, Sar,” said Green Lantern.
Wonder Warrior again commented, “Good work, GL. They’ll turn up too. Stellar, can we assume that the Scorpion was in your dream?”
“Unfortunately,” answered Opal City’s hero.
”What about the Sixty Minute Soldier?” asked the Prince of Themyscira.
“No,” answered Stellar.
“Soldier is still out looking for Sonic Boom and the others,” answered Sargona. “He’s fine.”
Then Dark Arrow arrived. “Can I get an update? Has anyone found Di Di yet?” asked Sonic Boom’s twin.
“We were hoping you knew something,” answered Wonder Warrior.
“Can I take a small team out to look for her?” asked Dark Arrow.
“We think she is in the Universe of Evil again,” said Green Lantern.
“But I will gladly go look with you,” answered Kid Comet.
“Jemstone and I will help too,” added Wonder Man.
“Very well,” agreed Wonder Warrior as the quartet of heroes left the building. “Let us know as soon as you find out anything.”
Starman – “Over here,” he said as he gestured with his Star Rod.
Stranger – “He is busy,” answered the White Wraith, “but he said that he would come at a moment’s notice if needed.”
Strato Hawk – “He said he’d be late,” answered Hawkgirl. “Convenience store robbery in St. Roch.”
”Stellar, is there anything else you can tell us about your dream?” asked Wonder Warrior.
“Only that a flying dinosaur swallowed Nucleus whole,” said the teen hero.
“I have no recollection of anything like that ever happening to me,” said Nucleus.
”Then maybe Tatau and the others will turn up soon,” said Wonder Warrior.
Totem – “Present.”
Trickshot – “Here.”
Velocity – “Here,” said the Mexican hero as he clutched his chest.
“Why don’t you let me take you to a doctor?” offered Daniel Jordan.
“I think that would be a good idea,” concurred Power Guy.
As Green Lantern and Velocity left, Powerstorm and Argos arrived with a man dressed as a cowboy.
”Vigilante!” shouted several of the Titans.
“You’re alive!” exclaimed Stellar. “Where are the other Rangers?”
”Gone,” said the cowboy as he removed his hat and placed it over his heart. “I searched and searched but I couldn’t find them.”
“We scoured the entire South Pacific and it’s as if they vanished from off the face of the earth,” added Powerstorm.
“Perhaps they are no longer on this earth, but in another dimension,” offered Argos.
“I sure hope a dinosaur didn’t eat them,” thought Stellar in deep concern.
Whirlpool – “Here, and I have got to leave now. I am sorry for your loss, Vigilante,” said the Atlantean prince as he shook the cowboy’s hand. I have to go check on my kingdom and my loved ones.”
”White Wraith, do you sense their presence at all?” asked the Vigilante.
“I am sorry, my friend,” answered the spirit, “but I cannot sense Mirage, Atmosphere, Tatau, Aura, or the Scorpion.”
“Wonder Man just left, and I am here,” said Wonder Warrior. “So now we need to concentrate on finding Wonder Girl, the Huntress, and Sonic Boom.”
Then a psychic lash emanating from Dr. Destiny knocked all of the assembled heroes to the ground. The building was filled with an evil laughter. But before anyone could react, Sonic Boom and Wonder Girl appeared.
Seeing that all others were down on the floor, Di Di Queen took a deep breath and blasted Dr. Destiny with all of her might. Wonder Girl then captured the villain with the Lasso of Deception and said soothingly, “You have defeated all of your enemies. They are buried. You are at home and comfortably in bed. You may relax and sleep now.”
“Good work, ladies,” said Power Guy in praise. “Where is the Huntress?”
Wonder Girl and Sonic Boom looked at one another in confusion. Then the Black Canary realized what had happened. “That idiot! She must have hypnotized us. She sacrificed herself for us.”
“You mean she is still trapped in the Universe of Evil?” asked Wonder Warrior.
“…or worse,” said Nucleus grimly.
“We’ve lost so many teammates today,” said Jemstone as she wiped a tear from her eye, “…so many friends.”
“I know this is probably not the best time,” began Nightvision, “but in light of our depleted ranks we could use some new members.”
“What are you getting at?” asked Power Guy.
“We haven’t yet officially accepted Bulletboy as a member,” explained the Darkknight Detective trying to cover his pain at the loss of his cousin Helena and the shame of the break-up with Blackbird.
Stellar was shocked that Nightvision had made this suggestion. “That is NOT the same guy who tried to scare me earlier!” thought the Star-Spangeled Kid.
“What do you say, Bulletboy?” asked Power Guy, also struggling with the notion that he might never see the Huntress or the Rangers again.
Bulletboy looked around the room. All eyes were on him. As an outsider he could clearly see that all of the Titans of Justice were preoccupied with the trauma of loosing their teammates. None of them seemed to have made the connection that Dr. Destiny somehow knew about this first official meeting of the Super Friends. The only way the villain could have possibly known about it is if one of the Titans had tipped him off. “Who betrayed the Super Friends?” thought Bulletboy to himself as he thought of some of the strange costumed characters on the team. He had no idea who he could and could not trust, but he knew that someone had to identify the traitor quickly or it could be the death of the entire team.
“I gladly accept membership,” answered Bulletboy.
“…at least until I figure out who the impostor is,” he thought.
Suddenly the doors to the meeting room swung open. In the doorway, there stood Black Orchid holding up both Fausta and Tsukuri by their collars, both villains were groggy and looked like they had taken quite a beating.
“Venus! You’re back!” exclaimed Sargona as she ran up to her close friend. “Where have you been???” Black Vulcan and Jemstone quickly followed Sargona in greeting Black Orchid.
“Working under-cover,” smiled the plant elemental. “Nightvision asked me to infiltrate the new Female Furies. I busted them up before they even got started though Nefertiti and Star Sapphire escaped.”
Wonder Warrior approached his newly returned teammate.
“Anyone that can capture Fausta should pat themself on the back for a job well done,” insisted Christophe Rayner. “Looks like it’s back to Reform Island for you,” smirked Wonder Warrior as he looked the wounded Fausta in the eyes.
Fausta just gave him the glare of death knowing that there was no way she could take on the entire team of the assembled Titans.
Nightvision stepped towards the conversing group, “And I’ll make sure that Tsukuri is returned to her homeland. Perhaps Katanna will be able to help her.”
Nightvision then pulled Black Orchid aside, “Great job. I couldn’t be more happy with your results.”
“You were right, it was just like when I was in the Suicide Squad,” smiled the purple-clad heroine. “Thank you for helping me feel useful again.”
Epilogue: The apartment of Power Guy, 36 hours later
[glow=yellow,2,300]Ding! Dong![/glow]
Sargona turned off the shower, quickly toweled herself off, put on a robe and answered Vince Starr’s door.
“Huntress!” she exclaimed in shock. “We thought you were gone for good!”
“I’m back,” answered the tired heroine of Gotham. “Where is Vince?”
“He went to visit your parents and tell them that bad news…” answered the enigmatic mage.
“Great! Just what I need,” commented Helena Wayne. “Look, Sargona, I was hoping to talk with Vince first, but we’ve got a problem. I thought my trip to the Universe of Evil was just a dream, but when I woke up I realized that it was as real as anything.”
“What do you mean?” asked Sargona with a raised eyebrow.
“The good Sportsmaster helped me get back home. I checked my pocket when I woke up and I found this note from him,” explained the Huntress as she handed a piece of paper to Sargona.
Sargona’s eyes widened as she read the message:
Huntress!
A new villain called Red Arrow has put together a new gang called ‘the League of Injustice.’ My sources say that they plan to recruit the Super Fiends and attack your universe. Get your team prepared!
Love,
Sportsmaster

Hal Jordan from the personal card collection of Green Lantern
The Sunny Skies Above the Southern California Coast

“Last time Daniel was falling too,” she mused as she turned to see if her beau was also falling somewhere nearby. That was when she noticed the verdant glow of Green Lantern Hal Jordan and the sinister smile on his face.
“I can’t believe it!” she thought as the Green Lantern assumed an attack position. “I am really back in the Universe of Evil again!” She reached into the quiver that she sensed on her back and drew an arrow. “The power battery for this universe’s Green Lantern runs like Alan Scott’s,” she thought as she readied the collapsible bow in her possession. “A simple stick manipulated the right way could take care of this Green Lantern.”
Before the daughter of Oliver and Dinah Queen could aim, an energy based green dragon appeared before her in the sky. Its thirty-foot tail waving in the air was a frightening sight, but the newly christened Black Canary only thought about positioning and trajectory. Her very life depended on it.

“You’re gonna pay for that, witch!” shouted Hal Jordan as a barrage of razor sharp oriental stars burst forth from his power ring.
The blonde bombshell dived downward to avoid being sliced by the onslaught of blades.

Noting that her Hall of Justice communicator was not working, she decided to head eastward to deliver Hal Jordan to Gull’s Island prison.
“Now to figure out how I ended up in the Universe of Evil and more importantly, how to get back home,” she thought.
Gotham City, New York
Helena Wayne woke up to the stench of rotting garbage. Strands of her hair were stuck to her cheek by a gum-like substance. She flicked a rotten tomato off of her costume and sat up to find herself in the center of a garbage dump. There were numerous small, green worms and some cockroaches with her.
“Déjà vu,” she thought as she secured a Bat-line to the roof of a nearby tall building. “Could I be in the Universe of Evil again?”
Removing a pair of Bat-binoculars from her utility belt, she scanned the area. “This is the exact same location I was in last time. Did we experience some type of explosion at the Hall of Justice during the Super Friends meeting?”
She pondered the wisdom of changing into civilian clothing and going to ‘her’ apartment, which was owned by Christopher M. Martin in this universe. The Sportsmaster in the Universe of Evil was the protégé of the late Lex Luthor, both of whom were heroes. Just as the Huntress was about to stow her binoculars she noticed some suspicious activity at a new building. She adjusted the focus to find that Gotham City in the Universe of Evil now had their very own S.T.A.R. labs.
“Curiouser and curiouser,” she thought as she swung in the direction of the building. It only took her two and one-half minutes to arrive. She hid herself ably in the shadows to stake out the building before making any decisions or early moves.
BOOM! “Stealth was a good plan,” thought the Dark Knight daughter as she watched the evil Superman spin head over feet out of the fresh hole in the outer wall of the S.T.A.R. labs building.
“Grundy smash alien!” shouted a zombie-like hulk.
Helena watched Bizarro fly out of the building as she loaded her crossbow and stood by to help if needed. “If Superman is a bad guy here…does that make Solomon Grundy and Bizarro good guys?”
Then the Cheetah came running out of the building in a panic. Aquaman followed her with obvious intent to kill. Suddenly, the evil King of Atlantis was frozen in his tracks from an ice beam coming from a different building. The Huntress quickly took her binoculars out again and traced the trajectory of the beam to a Caucasian man dressed in blue and white. “Captain Cold,” she thought. Then her attention turned back to the Cheetah.
“You have just been cheated by the Cheetah!” remarked the feline who had only pretended to run afraid from Aquaman. “Thanks for the asssssssssissssssst, Captain!”
[glow=red,2,300]Ping! Ping! Ping! [/glow]“What’s this now?” thought the daughter of the Catwoman as Wonder Woman came out of the S.T.A.R. labs building backwards. She was playing ‘bullets and bracelets.’ Helena changed positions to see better and prepared her wrist launcher with a ‘knock-out’ dart.
An army of toy soldiers and tanks came out of the building and launched an all-out war on the evil Amazon. One of the tanks bore a flag with the Toyman’s face on it. Helena could hear high pitched giggles coming from the vehicle.
“Cute,” thought the Huntress. “What is this? A good version of the Legion of Doom?”
Bullets flew everywhere as Wonder Woman put her full concentration into defending herself from her attackers. Then without warning a red-headed woman dressed in leopard skin came from out of the shadows and grew to the size of fifty feet.
STOMP!
“Great set-up, Toyman!” said Giganta.
“Thanks, Super-sis!” answered the Toyman.
Then the Batman came swinging out of a window on the top floor of the S.T.A.R. labs building. Helena’s blood curdled as she thought of the perversion of the evil Bruce Wayne daring to wear the uniform of the Batman to commit crime.
“You Super Fiends are going right back to prison!” shouted the Sportsmaster as he followed the Knight of Darkness.
“You think your silly ‘Legion of Hope’ can capture us?” jeered the Batman.
“Legion of…Hope?” thought the Huntress as she continued to watch the battle between the Sportsmaster and the Batman. She trained her bolo at her ‘uncle’s” ankles and tossed it. The Sportsmaster was surprised to see his foe trip and stumble.
Thwip! The Batman fell unconscious at the dart of the Huntress.
“Who?” asked Christopher Martin.
“I am the Huntress,” declared the steel-eyed beauty as she jumped down from her perch, “and I always get my prey.”
A silly schoolboy grin came over the Sportsmaster’s face at the sight of the woman of his dreams. “Huntress!”
“No time for playing right now, boss!” said the Toyman.
“It looks like Solomon Grundy and Bizarro are having difficulty capturing Supahman,” said the Cheetah.
“…And he’s heading towards Belle Reve!” added Giganta.
The Sportsmaster quickly scribbled a message, folded it, and handed it to the Huntress. “Read this later…In case I don’t see you again before you go home.” He gave her a quick peck on the cheek and said with a blushed face, “Thanks for the help. Do you think you could deliver these three to Gull’s Island Prison?”
“No problem,” answered Helena Wayne as Captain Cold finished securing Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman in the back of a jeep. “I am always glad to assist the good guys.”
“You can borrow my car,” said Leonard Snart.
The Huntress watched the Legion of Hope dash off towards the south as she drove away.
Gull’s Island Prison: The Cell of Wonder Woman
Princess Donna woke up laying on a cold and damp concrete floor. She had a headache and her vision was blurred.
“Where am I?” she whispered as she rubbed her bruised back. “What happened to me?” She was crippled again. The beauty and strength she once enjoyed from the properties of her armor and weapons was now gone. She lay helplessly in an old ragged dress.
“She did this to you,” explained an eerie female voice.
Wonder Girl glanced up and squinted her eyes and realized in horror that she was at home once again in the Universe of Evil. “Lilith!” she exclaimed.
“When you appeared suddenly in your sister’s cell she beat you almost to the point of death and took back the weapons and armour you stole from her,” explained Lilith.
“Diana did this to me!?!” cried the young adopted Amazonian. “I HATE HER!!!”
“She broke out and rescued the Super Fiends. They escaped and went on a villainous rampage. But don’t worry, my friend,” said Lilith in a soothing and comforting voice. “You will have your opportunity for revenge soon. Your friends will be coming for you. Princess Diana will be returned to the very cell you are in and you can take back your weapons. They will offer for you to stay here in our universe, but you have to go back to the Universe of Good with them. Horrible things will happen if you stay here.”
“I don’t want to be here anyway,” sobbed the homely princess.
“I have seen the future,” said the red-haired beauty. “You and I are the only hope for our universes to survive the coming crisis. But we will have to keep our plan a secret. No one must know.”
“What plan?” asked Donna in confusion. “What crisis?’
“Listen carefully to my every word…” began Lilith.
Fifteen Minutes Later
Lilith discontinued sharing her evil plan when she heard the noise of the footsteps which marked the arrival of the first restored prisoner.
“This way,” said Commissioner Harvey Dent as he directed the new female Green Lantern to a cell. He opened the cell and a green energy beam gently deposited an unconscious Hal Jordan onto the small, hard bed. “I cannot thank you enough for your help, Miss…?”
“You can call me Sonic Boom,” said the Green Lantern.
“Di Di!?!” shouted Wonder Girl. “Is that really you?”
“…yes,” answered the new Black Canary in a sad hesitation. “Donna…what happened to you?”
“My sister Diana beat me, stole my weapons, and left me here like this,” answered the teen bitterly. “Can you get me out of here?”
“NO!” shouted Lilith. “Not yet.”
Sonic Boom walked in irritation to the cell of Lilith and asked, “What are you trying to pull?”
“Trust me. Just wait for another few moments,” answered the green-eyed lady mysteriously.
“Why should I trust you?” demanded the blonde Green Lantern.
Then the door to the prison hall opened again and the dark visage of the Darkknight Daughter entered with a small assembly of prison guards. Wonder Woman, Batman, and Aquaman were in their custody.
“Huntress!” shouted Di Di Queen.
“Nice costume. How many of us made the leap to the Universe of Evil this time?’ asked Helena Wayne.
“Just the three of us, as far as I know,” answered Di Di Queen motioning to Wonder Girl.
The prison guards placed Aquaman and Batman in their cells. Helena stared down the Batman as he glared at the woman who could have been his daughter.
Three guards assisted the sedated princess of Themyscira to her cell. “We brought you back your cellmate,” said one of the guards as he threw Diana onto her crippled sister. Donna quickly removed the Belt of Beauty, the Bracelets of Strength, and the Lasso of Deception from her sister and was instantly transformed into the beautiful Wonder Girl.
“…and this time I am taking the Tiara of Telepathy with me too,” she said as she removed her sister’s red-starred crown. She placed it on her forehead and turned around to see Lilith smile devilishly.
“You are welcome to return with us if you would like, Donna,” offered the Huntress. “But if you want to stay here we understand. There is a new super-hero group here called the Legion of Hope. They could use your help in bringing order to this world.”
Lilith gave a mysterious nod of confirmation to Wonder Girl. “No, I think I will be returning with you,” answered the beautiful titan.
“So, does anyone have a plan on how to get home?” asked Sonic Boom thoughtfully.
“I can answer that for you,” said Lilith. “You all came here by accident. A villain from your universe trapped you into a dream and you three were all literally transported here.”
“How do you know this?” challenged the Huntress.
“I just know,” answered the empath. “If two or more of you return to sleep, you can easily transport to your home. This was supposed to only be a dream. You can break the nightmare by waking up simultaneously. But if any of you are late in waking up you will be trapped here.”
“How are we going to manage that?” asked Di Di.
“It won’t be too difficult,” answered Helena Wayne. “This has been a long and tiring day for both of you, Donna and Di Di. Falling asleep shouldn’t be to hard considering how comfortable you are feeling. Even as I speak you eyelids are feeling heavy and your entire bodies are feeling very relaxed. You are feeling very, very sleepy. In fact, you cannot even keep your eyes open. You are now entering a deep and restful sleep. When I count to the number five you will both awaken feeling refreshed and alert and ready to face whatever villain is threatening our friends at the Hall of Justice. One..two…three…four…five.”
The Hall of Justice (The Universe of Good)
“Listen up, everyone,” said Power Guy authoritatively as he stood on the Hall of Justice meeting table, “We need to identify the location of every member of the Titans of Justice and then we need to come up with a rescue plan for those members who are missing.”
“Please respond when your codename is called. If you are aware of the whereabouts of anyone unaccounted for please share the information when their name is called,” instructed Wonder Warrior.
Air Wave – “Present.”
Arachnid – “I don’t know why we have to do this. You can see that I’m here.”
Argos – “I can confirm that Argos is currently on mission in the South Pacific,” answered Kid Comet.
Atmosphere – “He was in my dream,” answered Stellar. “I saw two dinosaurs fighting over his cape.”
“Was Aura there too?” asked Wonder Warrior. “Yes,” answered Stellar grimly.
Black Adam – “Confirmed ín Kandaq,” answered Lieutenant Atom.
Blackbird – “Don’t ask,” answered Nightvision. “She’s in Gotham.”
Black Orchid – “I haven’t seen her around too much lately,” answered Black Vulcan, “But she did confirm that she is alive and well when I contacted her.”
Black Vulcan – “I am also alive and well,” answered Celeste Pierce.
Dark Arrow – “He’s on his way,” answered Green Lantern. “Do you think it would be more expedient for a few of us to start working on a plan to rescue Sonic Boom, Huntress, and Wonder Girl from the Universe of Evil?”
“GL, we aren’t even sure if that’s where they really are,” answered Air Wave
.
Doctor Fate - “Doctor Fate and Firebrand are both on a mission in Khandaq with Black Adam and the others,” answered Lt. Atom.
Flash – “I can’t get her to respond,” answered Velocity. “She was in my dream…she…she and Junjie, they…We need to find them.”
“We will,” assured Totem.”
Green Lantern – “Present, and I still feel that we need to start working on a plan to find Flash, Huntress, and the others.”
“GL, calm down, man,” suggested Wonder Man. We are already working on it.”
Hawkgirl – “Here,” said the Thanagarian thrasher with a wave of her mace, “and I’m with Green Lantern on this one.”
Huntress – “She’s in the Universe of EVIL!” exclaimed Green Lantern, “and we need to DO something about it!”
“I think GL’s got a point,” agreed Whirlpool, “and I need to get back to Atlantis to check on my home. Some really bad things happened in my dream.”
“Just another few moments, guys,” said Wonder Warrior in an effort to bring a sense of control to the group. “Can I assume that Isis is with Black Adam and Firebrand in Kandaq?”
“Comfirmed,” answered Lt. Atom.
Jemstone – “Here,” answered superstar Jerrica Benton.
Kid Comet – “Present,” answered the telepathic titan with his fingers at his temples, “and I have located both the Flash and Junjie Quick. Both are safe.”
“Praise the Lord,” whispered Green Lantern.
Lady Light – “Here. Maybe there is a chance that all of these nightmares have been nothing more than just that: dreams,” answered the lovely oriental heroine in an effort to encourage the team.
Lt. Atom – “Present, and I am still unable to contact any of the Rangers.”
”Was Mirage in your dream, Stellar?” asked Wonder Warrior.
“Yes,” answered the Star Spangled Kid.
Nightvision – “Here. Don’t worry, Stellar. We’ll find them.”
Stellar felt it very strange that Nightvision should comfort him now in public after alienating him at the Super Friends meeting. It almost seemed as if he were two different people.
RING! RING! “Can you get the phone, Hawkgirl?” requested Wonder Warrior.
“Hall of Justice,” answered Hawkgirl. Then the red and blue visage of the world’s smartest super-hero appeared from out of the receiver.
“That was a timely entrance, Nucleus,” commented Wonder Warrior. “I was just planning to ask if anyone knew anything about your whereabouts.”
“The Queen Bee and I were doing dwarf star research,” answered Nucleus.
“It’s good to hear that she is also accounted for and well,” said Wonder Warrior.
Phantom Lady – “She is also in Kandaq with the others,” answered Lt. Atom.
Power Guy – “Present. Does anyone know where Power Lad is?” asked the Kryptonian powerhouse. The assembled heroes looked around.
“He was here earlier,” answered Bulletboy.
“And I am on my way out,” announced the loose cannon as he flew into the meeting room.
“Where have you been?” asked Ky-El.
“Trying to contact my dad,” answered Power Lad in clear irritation.
“How is he doing?” asked Vince.
“I can’t contact him. Someone has swiped both my cellphone and my dad’s!”
“What were you doing with your dad’s cellphone?’ asked White Wraith.
“I swiped it,” answered the angry teen frankly. “Look, I am heading out of here. I gotta find my dad.”
“But –“ began Wonder Warrior.
“Let him go,” advised Power Guy softly.
Powerstorm – “He is in the South Pacific with Argos,” answered Green Lantern. “I asked the two of them to look for the Rangers.
Wonder Warrior looked up at the emerald gladiator and thought for a moment. “Good work, GL. I hope they find them soon.”
Then Sargona entered the building and said to Green Lantern. “I haven’t been able to find anything on Wonder Girl, Huntress, or Sonic Boom yet.”
“Thanks for looking, Sar,” said Green Lantern.
Wonder Warrior again commented, “Good work, GL. They’ll turn up too. Stellar, can we assume that the Scorpion was in your dream?”
“Unfortunately,” answered Opal City’s hero.
”What about the Sixty Minute Soldier?” asked the Prince of Themyscira.
“No,” answered Stellar.
“Soldier is still out looking for Sonic Boom and the others,” answered Sargona. “He’s fine.”
Then Dark Arrow arrived. “Can I get an update? Has anyone found Di Di yet?” asked Sonic Boom’s twin.
“We were hoping you knew something,” answered Wonder Warrior.
“Can I take a small team out to look for her?” asked Dark Arrow.
“We think she is in the Universe of Evil again,” said Green Lantern.
“But I will gladly go look with you,” answered Kid Comet.
“Jemstone and I will help too,” added Wonder Man.
“Very well,” agreed Wonder Warrior as the quartet of heroes left the building. “Let us know as soon as you find out anything.”
Starman – “Over here,” he said as he gestured with his Star Rod.
Stranger – “He is busy,” answered the White Wraith, “but he said that he would come at a moment’s notice if needed.”
Strato Hawk – “He said he’d be late,” answered Hawkgirl. “Convenience store robbery in St. Roch.”
”Stellar, is there anything else you can tell us about your dream?” asked Wonder Warrior.
“Only that a flying dinosaur swallowed Nucleus whole,” said the teen hero.
“I have no recollection of anything like that ever happening to me,” said Nucleus.
”Then maybe Tatau and the others will turn up soon,” said Wonder Warrior.
Totem – “Present.”
Trickshot – “Here.”
Velocity – “Here,” said the Mexican hero as he clutched his chest.
“Why don’t you let me take you to a doctor?” offered Daniel Jordan.
“I think that would be a good idea,” concurred Power Guy.
As Green Lantern and Velocity left, Powerstorm and Argos arrived with a man dressed as a cowboy.
”Vigilante!” shouted several of the Titans.
“You’re alive!” exclaimed Stellar. “Where are the other Rangers?”
”Gone,” said the cowboy as he removed his hat and placed it over his heart. “I searched and searched but I couldn’t find them.”
“We scoured the entire South Pacific and it’s as if they vanished from off the face of the earth,” added Powerstorm.
“Perhaps they are no longer on this earth, but in another dimension,” offered Argos.
“I sure hope a dinosaur didn’t eat them,” thought Stellar in deep concern.
Whirlpool – “Here, and I have got to leave now. I am sorry for your loss, Vigilante,” said the Atlantean prince as he shook the cowboy’s hand. I have to go check on my kingdom and my loved ones.”
”White Wraith, do you sense their presence at all?” asked the Vigilante.
“I am sorry, my friend,” answered the spirit, “but I cannot sense Mirage, Atmosphere, Tatau, Aura, or the Scorpion.”
“Wonder Man just left, and I am here,” said Wonder Warrior. “So now we need to concentrate on finding Wonder Girl, the Huntress, and Sonic Boom.”
Then a psychic lash emanating from Dr. Destiny knocked all of the assembled heroes to the ground. The building was filled with an evil laughter. But before anyone could react, Sonic Boom and Wonder Girl appeared.
Seeing that all others were down on the floor, Di Di Queen took a deep breath and blasted Dr. Destiny with all of her might. Wonder Girl then captured the villain with the Lasso of Deception and said soothingly, “You have defeated all of your enemies. They are buried. You are at home and comfortably in bed. You may relax and sleep now.”
“Good work, ladies,” said Power Guy in praise. “Where is the Huntress?”
Wonder Girl and Sonic Boom looked at one another in confusion. Then the Black Canary realized what had happened. “That idiot! She must have hypnotized us. She sacrificed herself for us.”
“You mean she is still trapped in the Universe of Evil?” asked Wonder Warrior.
“…or worse,” said Nucleus grimly.
“We’ve lost so many teammates today,” said Jemstone as she wiped a tear from her eye, “…so many friends.”
“I know this is probably not the best time,” began Nightvision, “but in light of our depleted ranks we could use some new members.”
“What are you getting at?” asked Power Guy.
“We haven’t yet officially accepted Bulletboy as a member,” explained the Darkknight Detective trying to cover his pain at the loss of his cousin Helena and the shame of the break-up with Blackbird.
Stellar was shocked that Nightvision had made this suggestion. “That is NOT the same guy who tried to scare me earlier!” thought the Star-Spangeled Kid.
“What do you say, Bulletboy?” asked Power Guy, also struggling with the notion that he might never see the Huntress or the Rangers again.
Bulletboy looked around the room. All eyes were on him. As an outsider he could clearly see that all of the Titans of Justice were preoccupied with the trauma of loosing their teammates. None of them seemed to have made the connection that Dr. Destiny somehow knew about this first official meeting of the Super Friends. The only way the villain could have possibly known about it is if one of the Titans had tipped him off. “Who betrayed the Super Friends?” thought Bulletboy to himself as he thought of some of the strange costumed characters on the team. He had no idea who he could and could not trust, but he knew that someone had to identify the traitor quickly or it could be the death of the entire team.
“I gladly accept membership,” answered Bulletboy.
“…at least until I figure out who the impostor is,” he thought.
Suddenly the doors to the meeting room swung open. In the doorway, there stood Black Orchid holding up both Fausta and Tsukuri by their collars, both villains were groggy and looked like they had taken quite a beating.
“Venus! You’re back!” exclaimed Sargona as she ran up to her close friend. “Where have you been???” Black Vulcan and Jemstone quickly followed Sargona in greeting Black Orchid.
“Working under-cover,” smiled the plant elemental. “Nightvision asked me to infiltrate the new Female Furies. I busted them up before they even got started though Nefertiti and Star Sapphire escaped.”
Wonder Warrior approached his newly returned teammate.
“Anyone that can capture Fausta should pat themself on the back for a job well done,” insisted Christophe Rayner. “Looks like it’s back to Reform Island for you,” smirked Wonder Warrior as he looked the wounded Fausta in the eyes.
Fausta just gave him the glare of death knowing that there was no way she could take on the entire team of the assembled Titans.
Nightvision stepped towards the conversing group, “And I’ll make sure that Tsukuri is returned to her homeland. Perhaps Katanna will be able to help her.”
Nightvision then pulled Black Orchid aside, “Great job. I couldn’t be more happy with your results.”
“You were right, it was just like when I was in the Suicide Squad,” smiled the purple-clad heroine. “Thank you for helping me feel useful again.”
Epilogue: The apartment of Power Guy, 36 hours later
[glow=yellow,2,300]Ding! Dong![/glow]
Sargona turned off the shower, quickly toweled herself off, put on a robe and answered Vince Starr’s door.
“Huntress!” she exclaimed in shock. “We thought you were gone for good!”
“I’m back,” answered the tired heroine of Gotham. “Where is Vince?”
“He went to visit your parents and tell them that bad news…” answered the enigmatic mage.
“Great! Just what I need,” commented Helena Wayne. “Look, Sargona, I was hoping to talk with Vince first, but we’ve got a problem. I thought my trip to the Universe of Evil was just a dream, but when I woke up I realized that it was as real as anything.”
“What do you mean?” asked Sargona with a raised eyebrow.
“The good Sportsmaster helped me get back home. I checked my pocket when I woke up and I found this note from him,” explained the Huntress as she handed a piece of paper to Sargona.
Sargona’s eyes widened as she read the message:
Huntress!
A new villain called Red Arrow has put together a new gang called ‘the League of Injustice.’ My sources say that they plan to recruit the Super Fiends and attack your universe. Get your team prepared!
Love,
Sportsmaster
THE END?
