Chapter 25: Target
Location: Taipei, Taiwan at Earth YJ
00:00 - 00:44
The first scene started with the introduction of the famous reporter Cat Grant, who was doing a live broadcast about the current event in Taipei. The cast was confused; they had never heard of the northern and southern countries that were mentioned.
"Northern and Southern Rhelasia, I swear I never heard of those two countries before," Ochaco said, confused, at the mention of the two conflicting countries.
"I think it's a country that only exists on this Earth, like how I-Island doesn't exist in their world," Izuku explained and listened to what the reporter had to say. "Cat Grant mentions that both Northern and Southern Rhelasia are at Taipei for a groundbreaking peace summit for both of their countries. Prime Minister Tseng of South Rhelasia and North Rhelasia's General Singh Manh Li have agreed to bring in an independent arbitrator. I'm sorry but what's an Independent Arbitrator?" he asked.
Midnight answered for him. "An Independent Arbitrator is a neutral third party, chosen by disputing parties, who hears arguments and evidence, then makes a legally binding decision. To resolve the dispute, acting outside of a formal court setting. So instead of having the peace summit at a court. They're having it here in Taipei. Perhaps even on live television for the whole world to see."
"We're going to see it too." Aizawa continues for her. "This event is very important. Like the ceremony of a new US President, Prime Minister, or Electing a new Pope. However, not all events go as planned. Similar to this historical event that became tragic, like the JFK assassination, or Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. If this was done in our world. There would be Pro Heroes being vigilant in case there are assassination attempts."
"Let's not dread, this is still a great day." Present Mic said. "Yes, I agree with the need to be vigilant, and Cat Grant mentioned the Independent Arbitrator. Sadly, many were hoping that it was Superman to be the Independent Arbitrator for this summit, but her resources say the Arbitrator will be coming by car, not by cape."
Many of the students groan, they want to see the Man of Steel again. All Might on the other hand is hopeful whoever this Independent Arbitrator is, they will help to accomplish peace in both Northern and Southern Rhelasia.
Before the scene continues Izuku's book opens, and saw that Cat Grant is someone important in this world.
(I'm a fan of Calista Flockhart's performance of Cat Grant at ABC's Supergirl from the Arrowverse.)
00:44 - 01:24
The audience sees there are a lot of civilians at the scene and plenty of guards as well. What caught them by surprise was Roy Harper blending in wearing a black suit.
Aizawa is glad to see that there is a Hero among the crowd even if they're not Superman as the public believed.
The scene continues as Roy contacts Kaldar at the cave. He has intel that there is an assassin ready within the scene. This particular member of the League of Assassins is someone that the audience recognizes. Jade Nguyen, Cheshire.
Both Shoto and Dabi have been waiting to see more of Cheshire ever since that interaction with Artemis. They believe that there is more to them besides their mask identities. They also want to know who is Artemis' father and why he trains his daughter in combat.
The Heroes learned that the Justice League has information about Cheshire, even her real name Jade Nguyen. They recall when the Team fought Cheshire they didn't know what she even looked like, and had zero information about it. However, Can't say the same with the Justice League's computer. It has her name, height, and facial info.
They continued to watch and they were surprised at Roy's sunglasses. They weren't just meant to look good, but it was also spyware. He is able to locate Cheshire by matching her height.
"You have to admit that is quite impressive. More than the body cam that the police department uses." Preset Mic whistles at the shades.
"I have no doubt that Batman has to do with the invention of the shades. He alongside Lucius Fox and Wayne Enterprise ." Aizawa said impress at the shades. "I definitely need to modify my goggles. To work the same way. "
After spotting Jade Nguyen, Roy gets ready as the limousine is headed to the site.
01:24 - 01:46
Seeing that the limo has arrived at the sight. They stop that Jade Nguyen is gone, now replaced with her assassin identity, Cheshire, and more importantly, she is wielding a rocket launcher.
The Heroes pales if Cheshire succeeds at this assassination attempt with a bang. Cheshire will not just kill the Independent Arbitrator, but also anyone caught within the blast radius.
They Pale more when Cheshire has her aim directly at the Limo.
Shoto Todoroki stood up from his chair not wanting for her to kill the Arbitrator. "Jade no!"
01:46 - 02:03
Thankfully with one arrow. Roy was able to make Cheshire miss her target, and the civilians are now running to safety, and the guards to get ready.
Shoto is glad that Jade missed her shot, but he knows that she isn't done, she has a contract to fulfill.
02:03 - 02:30
The second attempt started and this time on foot. She plans to get her hands dirty. The bodyguards did their best to hold her, but Jade was trained to stop bodyguards from trying to keep her away from her target.
"She's on the move, and with her sais too!" Uraraka is scared for the life of the arbitrator. However, Roy tries to use his net arrow, but this isn't Cheshire's first time facing a student of Green Arrow. 'The Archery Girl' she fought is as skilled as Roy, and herself. However in the end Roy was able to tackle Cheshire down.
Couldn't say the same about her kiosk, which exploded.
The Heroes praise Roy and the Taipei Police Department for capturing Cheshire once and for all.
02:30 - 02:44
Now that Cheshire will be handcuffed, it is safe for the mystery Independent Arbitrator to leave the limo in peace. To reveal it was this man, Lex Luthor.
To the casual DC Comics fan they know who this man is, can't say the same to the cast of My Hero Academia and their first introduction of the Man of Tomorrow.
Inko sighed, glad that the man was unharmed. "Thank goodness the assassin didn't get her hands on this nice man."
"I'm glad too, mom." Her son agrees. "Can you imagine what could go wrong if this man was killed before the upcoming peace treaty? That would be a tragedy."
"Good thing Red Arrow was there to stop Cheshire. Rot in prison bitch." Even Bakugo agrees with them.
Aizawa sighed glad there was no harm to this man, many of the Heroes were glad that Lex Luthor was okay.
"I can't believe this." said All Might. "That there was an assassin to prevent a peace treaty between these two countries, if Lex Luthor dies there might be a civil war between Northern and Southern Rhelasia. Praise the heavens no harm happened to him." Even the current Number one hero, Endeavor agrees with the former symbol of peace.
"I have to say, it was nice that Red Arrow was there to prevent the assassination." praised the Madame President of the Public Hero Safety Commission.
My Hero Academia cast sees this man as a saint, or as a noble. To any other day this would be a great ending. The Hero saved the day, Lex Luthor is unharmed and Cheshire goes to jail. However, this isn't the story.
This is not the end, but it's only the beginning.
02:44 - 03:32
After the police drove out of the scene with Cheshire in custody. The Taipei police department arrested Roy too. The cast may know him as Speedy/Red Arrow, but that's not what the police department sees. They know Speedy from the news, but not this gentleman in a suit. Who's to say this man and Cheshire are not teammates, it is his words against his.
The cast sees as much as great this world is with the heroes saving the day, and the world from time to time. There is sadly a flaw. That the My Hero Academia universe doesn't, is proof that they are heroes with the help of a plastic card. Their Pro Hero License.
This is Star City in which Police Captain Quintin Lance can just give Green Arrow and Speedy a pass. Here in Taipei, the police see Roy as an illegal vigilante, not the Hero Speedy, or a member of the Justice League.
Tenya Iida understands the flaw. "I understand that the Justice League and the Team aren't Pro Heroes based on our universe's terms and laws. I am grateful for all the good they have done. Sadly I couldn't say the same to the Taipei police department who wanted to question Roy for his actions. If they have proof of identity that says that he is well, Speedy. The outcome would be different."
Tsuyu Asui continues for him. "But unless Roy was in costume as Speedy. The Police would understand, but because he has to blend in order not to catch any attention from the civilians, or Cheshire herself. He has to wear the outfit of a civilian that wouldn't scare off the assassin. Even Cheshire had to blend in as Jade Nguyen. We all saw her unmasked and in civilian clothing. The police wouldn't think that normal-looking Jade Nguyen was an assassin." She said. "Let's just be glad that Lex Luthor was there to help Roy out and say to the police that Roy is Speedy."
The students as much as they love the heroes of this world, it isn't perfect. They're not saying that their world is perfect, after being in this Fifth Dimension they see the flaws and cracks of their world. The smart ones see those cracks, but it isn't easy to accept, they can relate with the rest of their classmates. No one wanted to live in a world in which what they were told about their society growing up, was a lie.
That discussion can wait because there was one thing that didn't make sense to the heroes.
If the Police department doesn't know that this man is Green Arrow's formal sidekick, how was Lex Luthor able to figure it out?
03:32 - 03:53
Roy mentions that he didn't need his help in clearing his name for the cops, and he taunts Luthor, mentioning he knows Luthor's true colors outside the lights and cameras.
The audience has no clue what Roy meant. Unlike the casual DC Comics fan who knows Lex Luthor by heart. What the My Hero Academia cast only has is if the formation of Lex Luthor is uniting two nations toward peace.
That doesn't sound evil or villainous at all.
It is Roy's words against Luthor, but there is no proof to back up his claims, if anything they see Lex Luthor as a nobleable and trustworthy man.
"I don't understand Roy, what's the beef with Lex Luthor?" Midnight asks. "He is just trying to solve peace between two conflicted nations."
"Midnight is right, Yo." Present Mic agrees with her. "Roy Harper my bro, just chill. Now Cheshire is gone."
The two Pro Heroes are right, Cheshire is gone, the peace summit can continue and in a way, the mission is a success. They believe they just have to watch for the whole summit to be completed, and it would be the end of the episode. Smooth sailing pretty much.
03:53 - 04:33
Even though the violence has left the area, it cannot say the same between the leaders of Northern and Southern Rhelasia, things were getting too spicy for the pepper between Prime Minister Tseng and General Singh Manh Li.
"Interesting, even though no one got hurt by Cheshire it was her presence in the area that gave both Rhelasian leaders a reason to point fingers at each other." Mr. Compress chuckled at the situation.
Seeing the conflict boiling Dabi sees that his friend is right. "Tseng believed that it was Singh Manh Li who sent the assassin after him, but the General believed it was the Prime Minister who sent the assassin after him. This became a real shit show, they're not sure who truly sent Cheshire to this peace treaty."
Toga laughs. "Oh man, I love situations like these it a classic shenanigans from sitcoms."
The audience listened to Cat Grant, she believed because of the appearance of Cheshire, that solving peace with only the Prime Minister and the General is gone, and the only hope left is for Lex Luthor to solve peace between the two Rlelasian countries. The Hero side hopes that Lex Luthor can in fact solve peace between these two nations.
04:33 - 05:03
Roy gave out a good question, Among all the people who would have been the Independent Arbitrator, why would the Prime Minister and General trust Lex Luthor?
Luthor gave out a simple answer, because of his company LexCorp, and in Luthor's words. 'LexCorp is a company founded on peaceful enterprise for all humanity.'
Izuku understood what Mr. Luthor meant, "Oh I see, LexCorp is like Wayne Enterprises and Wayne Tech, Both companies helping better the lives of people. Like the Martha Wayne Foundation that helped Artemis enrolled at Gotham Academy, and before her death Martha Wayne reopened Arkham Asylum to help out and cure the criminally insane. That's so nice of Mr. Luthor and LexCorp."
How nicely it sounds that LexCorp is a peaceful enterprise company, Roy however, knows the bullshit outside the glitz and glamour. Like the intel that Roy has about LexCorp selling weapons to Rhelasia, in summary, Lex Luthor is profiting from their war.
That is true and all, but the Madame President sees it differently "I hear what you're saying Young Man, but companies making weapons and selling them to countries is nothing more than a business ploy. Many countries do the same either during a war or to protect themselves from a possible war." She said. "His actions aren't shady, but rather just a business."
05:03 - 05:20
Roy put out a good statement. Even though Cheshire is heading to jail, the contract that was given to the League of Assassins has ended with them.
Aizawa understood what Roy meant. "He has a point, Cheshire may have failed, but we know how the League of Assassins operated way back at the Roquette mission. They will send another assassin, and just like the assassination attempt at Happy Harbour. There could be assassins ready and waiting here in Taipei." He continues. "Unlike Roquette, we cannot just move Lex Luthor, The Prime Minister, and the General. This Peace Summit is too important, and I doubt the two leaders would move to a safer location, even if it is logical. They're too proud, and with the camera rolling, it would show a moment of weakness that is captured in camera."
Present Mic agrees. "Sadly it is a common trait to politicians. Continuing to stay after an assassination attempt at the same site, it somehow showed its strength, especially towards their followers."
They continue to listen, and Luthor gives out a good question, is he even their true target, or his possible death was meant to sabotage the summit?
Hawks steps in. "Lex Luthor is right, What were Cheshire's orders from the League of Assassins, Is Lex Luthor even the real target, or is her order was to sabotage the summit." He turns back to the Prime Minister and the General seeing them bicker. "If it is to sabotage then, having the two leaders argue is step one. To have the event to be truly sabotaged then either one or both would sign the treaty, and their civil war against each will continue."
It was a good question. What did the League of Assassins want, kill either the three possible targets, or sabotage the peace summit?
05:20 - 05:44
They're not getting any answers at this site, Roy has to investigate.
Interestingly enough Lex Luthor agrees with Roy, and he would like to hire him, but Roy doesn't want any of Luthor's money.
Plenty of the Pro Heroes and students don't understand this mindset of not getting paid for Hero work, but for someone like Stain, he is glad that Roy didn't accept the money.
Stain has been quiet the whole episode. He knows Cheshire that she is a wolf in wolf's clothing, but he is getting a different vibe when it comes to Lex Luthor. It's at the tip of his tongue, he can't figure it out fully. He is keeping a closer eye on this bald man.
05:44 - 06:01
Location: Mount Justice.
At the Cave they watch Superboy fixing his motorcycle, and many raise an eyebrow when they see the Sphere from Biayala roaming around the Cave very casually.
"I don't want to ruin the good and quiet time, but should we discuss the elephant in the room, 'The Sphere'?" Jiro asked. "Are we even call it that?"
"What is there truly to discuss?" Tokoyami asked. "The Light doesn't know what it is, the only clue that we know is it's from Space, and possibly from the intergalactic ally. Even saying the fact out loud I sound kooky, or wispy."
"Which is it, are you Kooky, or are you Wispy?" Tokoyami glared at the 1A pervert.
Hawks rubbed his temples "Let's put a Pros and Cons towards this Sphere. I'll start." The hero said. "If it is a weapon, let's be glad it doesn't in the hands of the Light, or Bialya."
Izuku plays along. "Pro number 2, Sphere seems to be sentient like Bio-Ship, and she is like the Martian equivalent of an animal. Though I don't want to know where the poops go, that's just gross."
Mirio played too. "They can teach the difference between right and wrong. He can be the newest member of the Team, just like Bio-Ship."
"I just hope Sphere doesn't poop like Bio-Ship." Izuku said under his breath.
Endeavor let out his cons. "The Alien who sold him probably wants it back, and they believe the only way to get it is by attacking Earth, and enslaving the human race!" He shouted.
As much they all have plenty of Pros and not much cons from the Number One Hero. The audience decided to push aside the topic of discussion and wonder what the universe planned for Superboy today.
06:01 - 06:29
The audience was in for a surprise when M'Gann came down to the meet-up with Superboy. However, Miss Martian wasn't alone, behind her was Kaldur'ahm, her Uncle, and Red Tornado. The audience learned the two Justice League members wished both of them well for their first day at Happy Harbour High as students. While Kaldur is there to show his support.
There was a hint of sadness that a small handful noticed that Superboy wished that Superman would greet him too, in the same way as J'onn and Red Tornado currently are.
Their attention was moved from Superboy to Megan Morse.
"Woah, M'Gann into Megan. The outfit isn't bad, girl." Toru supported Megan's outfit.
Mina Ashido felt differently about this scene. She believed just like Megan had to cover her natural green skin, it also probably meant the same to Mina if she was born on Earth YJ. In a universe in which the Super Normal is more aligned with Heroes and Villains, it didn't mean to her everyday life outside of being her Hero-self.
This begs the question of a lot of mutant types who cannot hide their powers by 'Looking Normal.' How to do the Meta Humans, Homo Magi, and Aliens who live on Earth, who don't have the luxury of Looking Normal.
06:29 - 06:56
Now the true elephant in the room.
"Oh that's right, Superboy doesn't have a secret identity within his everyday life outside, well the cape and mask." Denki reminded everyone.
They listen more, and learn that Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado in fact have human civilian names. They already know that J'onn J'onzz is the martian name of Martian Manhunter, but he also dawns a human identity. To gain a social life among humans outside the Justice League. He chose the name of John Jones.
"That makes sense. J'onn and John do sound alike." Eijiro added. "Also he is a good friend to Red Tornado, John Smith, manly name I add."
I wonder what John Smith does in his civilian life, I know that John Jones is a Police Detective at Middleton. I bet John Smith is a weatherman." Hanta joked about a possible identity of John Smith.
"Guys, we're going off-topic. What would be a good civilian name for Superboy, if not 'John'. What about Thomas, Dylan, or what do you guys think of this epic name, Peter. Parker. Sounds epic right." Denki giving out name suggestions.
"Nah Kaminari, Peter Parker is a dumb name."
"Sounds like a pedophile, or a crack dealer," Jiro added.
"Why not use 'Kr.' as a hint." Itsuka gave out a good suggestion. "At Project CADMUS he was Project Kr. if we turn Kr. in a name there are plenty of possibilities like Kris,Kristopher, or even Kristian, all spelled with a Kr.
As nice as those name suggestions that Itsuka gave to Superboy, Megan gave her own suggestion.
"Conner. I like it." Neito said. "Something about the name felt right and fitting. Through he would need a last name too. Perhaps Smith, or Jones." Neito paused having a good last name that is fitting for Superboy, but before he gave out the name, J'onn said the last name first.
"Kent?" Hanta raised an eyebrow. "Does he mean Dent like the District Attorney that Poison Ivy tried to kill?" After a little more explanation, it was a name to honor a fallen friend and hero. "Oh Kent Nelson, the last host body of Doctor Fate, before Wally wore the Helm. J'onn it's a good last name especially to honor the fallen hero."
Many of the students do see it as a great way to honor the fallen hero, but many of the smart individuals like Monoma and Midoriya see the connection towards the Man of Steel, but just like Super— They mean, Conner said. It is also a way to remember Nelson's sacrifice during his last fight against Klarion the Witch-Boy.
06:56 - 07:24
Now that Conner Kent has chosen a name, the final step is the outfit.
"That's right, Conner cannot just walk around in his iconic S Shield," said Denki.
"Kaminari is right, surely you have… an… outfit." Monoma immediately blushed and was able to finish his sentence. He, Kaminari, Midoriya, and plenty of the girls were red as a tomato when Conner removed his shirt and just flipped it around to hide the insignia of the House of El.
"Momma likey."
Jiro almost choked on her drink when Toru spoke with a deeper and Man-ish voice.
Hitoshi and Shoto do not like that the boys they like are ogling Superboy's bare torso.
07:24 - 07:54
Location: Taipei Police Department.
The scene shifted back to Red Arrow at the Taipei Police Department, showing he is asking Cheshire questions about the contract, but they're not getting the real answers that they have been wanting from Cheshire. Her answers were simple and vague
Who hired her?
The Shadows.
Who's their client?
She doesn't ask.
Lastly the most important question: who was her target?
Two birds and one stone.
"This is going nowhere. She is answering, but each answer is like she is just toying with him." Endeavor is frustrated with Cheshire's answers. They still don't know who the main target was to eliminate. Was it one of the three possible targets, all three wanted dead, or was it just scare them?
If it was Endeavor who went to interrogate Cheshire, there is a chance he would lose his temper. Which would be bad if he does. Giving more reason for Cheshire not to speak, and brute force wouldn't be useful too, if Rumi decided to interrogate her.
For the UA staff, they would either bring Hound Dog who is known for his interrogation tactics, and ask a favor from Naomasa Tsukauchi and his reliable quirk, but the problem is all her questions were true. Tsukauchi cannot force the truth out, his quirk doesn't work like Wonder Woman's golden lasso.
Kai Chisaki chuckled, he does know someone who would forcefully tell the truth after being asked. One of his members, Shin Nemoto's quirk Confession, can get the answers from Cheshire easily. However, there is one flaw Confession wouldn't work as much as Hitoshi Shinso's quirk. They have no clue if Cheshire has telepathy blocking based on her training with the Shadows. They recall Bane and that he can block telepaths like Miss Martian. Who's to say it works the same with their quirks, even if the trigger was done vocally?
If Hitoshi was there with Red Arrow he could try using his quirk on Cheshire, just to test out a theory, if not hopefully there are other ways to interrogate an assassin.
07:54 - 08:01
Cheshire gave out her question. Where Red Arrow's sidekick friends and plenty of the smart audience were able to catch the little mistake that Cheshire made. She almost spilled the name of Artemis, but quickly called her, theArchery Girl.
They know that there is a connection between Artemis and Cheshire. They just don't know what it is, but they also recall that Roy knows the truth about Artemis, especially since she isn't the niece of Green Arrow.
This gave them an idea, that among the 'Sidekick Friends'Roy is the only one who truly knows about the connection between Artemis and Cheshire.
Perhaps even Artemis Crock and Jade Nguyen.
Shoto and Dabi are at the edge of their seats wanting to know the true relationship between the two.
08:01 - 08:14
There was an odd scene in which it looked like Cheshire was flirting with Red Arrow.
The League of Villains knows about Toga and her feelings with a certain Greenette, it isn't like she hides her feelings. But it was different from seeing Cheshire a villain flirting with Red Arrow a hero.
But then Cheshire decided to cling on to the metal bars, like she knew something was going to happen, and it did. The wall that was connected to the other outside exploded, the explosion also revealed the one who is here to get Cheshire free.
"It's Sports Masters!" Izuku shouted, recalling the villain from Santa Prisca. "He and Cheshire are planning to escape, probably to escape the country as well."
"Roy better catch them before they flee the country." Aizawa growls, not wanting the two villains to leave freely.
08:14 - 09:43
The entire chase scene was thrilling.
Both sides were clever and quick-thinking during the chase. All three are quirkless and they use their available arsenal to slow the other to get the speed boost that they need. Like Cheshire using her tools to catch down all of Red Arrow's strings that would help him get close to them, but he wasn't able to catch them. However, he was able to fool them by using a track arrowhead that was attached to their helicopter.
"That's good, even though Roy couldn't stop those two, he was able to place a tracker at least.
09:43 - 09:55
In the next scene. It turns out Sports Master and Cheshire didn't flee the country as many would assume. They were still in Taipei at a Traditional Asian mansion, Almost like the Todoroki house, but more luxurious.
They listen to Sports Master and Cheshire. The audience learns that there is beef between the two. Giving a clear idea that they knew each other, that it was Sports Master who helped Jade Nguyen towards this line of work, and how she dawned her Cheshire Cat mask.
"Sounds like the two have a huge chunk of history between the two," Mic added. "What do you think their relationship is like, is Sports Master Jade Nguyen's mentor?"
Aizawa shrugged. "I'm not sure either. What we know is there is a history between those two. He did say he got her the job in the first place. What I don't understand is how Artemis adds to all these puzzle pieces. Like does Sports Masters know Artemis, or is he only familiar with Jade?"
"Right now, we at least got another piece of the puzzle. We haven't even solved the big picture yet." Midnight added being the voice of reason. "Plus, you got to wonder, among all the hiding places for Sports Master and Cheshire to hide under at Taipei. Why hide here at this Mansion?"
"She's right." Hawks stepped in. "They could have hidden themselves towards something more dirty and abandoned. Anywhere else, but they chose this noticeable and luxurious Mansion." He paused and thought of the helicopter pilot from earlier, and Cheshire's profession. "I don't think this Mansion is a hideout, but rather a meeting place. Someone had sent Sports Master to free Cheshire from the Taipei Police Department. Rather sending another assassin to deal with the Peace Summit. I believe this mystery someone wanted Cheshire to be the main assassin to do the deed, rather than risk another assassin to sabotage the Peace Summit."
"You have to be higher rank within the Shadows to keep Cheshire to fulfill the contract, rather than sending another assassin. Who could it be? " Gran Torino asked his fellow heroes.
"I don't mean any disrespect, Gran Torino, I don't believe it would be someone higher ranked like Sensei. I believe the one who wanted to ruin the Peace Summit was the Head of the Demon, the one who trained Bruce Wayne, and the same head who wanted Batman to be his successor. We all met him back at the Hall of Origins, but we would finally have a proper introduction to the Head of the League of Assassins."
09:55 - 10:26
Hawks was right, it wasn't a random upper-rank member of the Shadows, but it was rather the Head of the Demon himself.
Izuku almost dropped his book after seeing one of the men who trained Bruce Wayne into Batman. "Ra's Al Ghul… I never thought to see him again." Izuku gulped realizing how bad the situation is now. Knowing how big of a threat Ra's Al Ghul is, as much as The Light is.
Kai Chisaki was speechless too. He has high respect for Ra's Al Ghul if his boss is the Head of the Yakuza. He would like to assign an alliance with the Shadows. Just to be in the same room as the Head of the Demon is a great honor, but he feels unworthy to be in the same room as him.
Thankfully Red Arrow has a good hiding spot and from a far distance. The binoculars he is using are high tech and can hear their far-distance conversation, Melissa creates a mental note towards an invention she wants to recreate, and more importantly, the audience learned that Lex Luthor was the main target, also no client wanted Lex Luthor dead. The contract came from the head himself.
"So it was Ra's Al Ghul who wanted Lex Luthor dead." Izuku listened more. "Also, I'm 100 percent sure, but it sounds like Ra's Al Ghul and Lex Luthor are enemies. Ra's mentioned that Mr. Luthor has been torn at his side, on sure on the 'Why', but they're enemies."
Hanta raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps the Shadows and LexCorp are rivals, or the plain old enemies. If you think about it. Lex Luthor is a humanitarian. While Ra's Al Ghul is an assassin, a fancy word for killer for hire. One saves lives and the other takes lives. hence their Rivals/Archenemies."
The audience blinks a couple of times after listening to Sero's simple, and reasonable explanation. Jiro raises her hand. "It does make… sense… but, we don't know much about their–" She paused for a second and pinched the bridge of her nose. She couldn't believe what she was going to say next. "-Rival-archenemy-ship— Oh dear god I can't believe I just said that… You know what, THAT'S NOT THE POINT! The point is, whatever beef that Ra's Al Ghul has, Roy has to save Mr. Luthor from being killed by the League of Assassins. The world needs this peace summit to go well."
The Hero side agrees with Jiro, that this Peace Summit is too important, and none of them wouldn't let Ra's Al Ghul and his assassins ruin the event. However, even though Roy was able to get the information. He was also spotted by Ra's Al Ghul.
"Oh shit, Roy run!" Jiro shouted.
10.26 - 11:19
The next scene is Red Arrow trying to escape the area, but Cheshire and Sports Master are at his tail. The heroes watched as Red Arrow tried to fight the two, but one of the Sports Master's gear broke his bow. Now they have him at the edge of a cliff.
I hear you go by Red Arrow now, more like Broken Arrow.
"Hey, don't you disrespect the name, that's so not manly!" Eijiro insulted the villains.
11.19 - 12:07
Location: Happy Harbour Rhode Island, Happy Harbour High.
The scene shifted outside of the school. The students spotted Megan Morse and Conner Kent. roaming around with the other teenagers in the area. Things went on the awkward side when Superboy picked up a boy and questioned him for his tee shirt, of a Green M. inside a shield.
Many of the students and UA Teachers don't like how Superboy is holding the boy, and how he is projecting his anger towards this innocent young man. Yayaorozu may have an idea why Superboy was offended. "It's a tee, the letter M. Inside the shield can be offensive towards the eyes of a Kryptonian." From her explanation, more and more students understood Superboy's actions.
"It's just a shirt, he isn't mocking the Kryptonian culture," Denki said defending the young man. "Also dude, you caused a scene. You're getting a lot of attention for you and Megan. I suggest letting the boy go."
There was a scene in which Conner observed the shirts of the other students. They knew this wasn't a private school meaning no school uniforms like at UA High. They weren't expecting the majority of students to wear Superhero tees. The teachers are just glad that UA High has school uniforms rather than seeing shirts of the students' favorite heroes. The teachers also notice that a fight is brewing, and as teachers, they don't want that, especially since this other young man is just a civilian standing up to a superpowered bully over a tee shirt.
12:07 - 12:46
The heat between Conner and Mal Dulcan never happened, all thanks to a teacher on the site. The UA teachers were impressed at the teacher's approach to stopping a possible fight, That would go wrong knowing Conner's background. The UA girls on the other hand were smitten with the handsome and cool teacher.
"That's a teacher, why can't UA have a teacher as good-looking as him," Setsuna said as she bit her lower lip. "That man is just FINE, Awooga!" Itsuka's face palmed at her best friend's behavior, but looking up and down at the teacher, she wasn't wrong.
As the rest of the students went to Homeroom, plenty of the students were glad that Megan was there to stop Conner, and hope to calm him down from his rage. Just like her, none of the students doesn't want Conner to knock Mal Duncan's head off with one punch. Even Bakugo knows it would look bad for Conner.
Before Conner and Megan were able to start heading to the homeroom. They were stopped by Wendy Harris and Marvin White. The students listened to Wendy after she introduced herself to Megan.
"Woah, cool, you want Megan to join the cheerleading squad, The Bumblebees, that's so fire. Megan, you should try it out." Mina said happy for Megan.
Jiro shivered at the humiliation back at the Sports Festival when she and the rest of the girls had to wear those cheerleading outfits for the halftime show. "Is it possible to have PTSD from being a pretend cheerleader?" She asked. "I still have nightmares of that horrible experience."
12:46 - 13:26
Location: Taipei, Taiwan.
The scene returns with Red Arrow at the edge of the cliff at the mansion. There was nowhere else to go and surrender isn't an option. So Red Arrow did what was necessary to survive. He dives off the cliff seeing he can land safely in the water. Tsuyu believes she would have done the same thing. She gulped not expecting Sports Master to throw an explosive javelin.
Many of the students cried out loud for Roy's name. The explosion happened at a close radius as Roy. Many believed Roy had died from the blast radius, if not he could have been injured and drowned to death.
Many sigh in relief to see that Roy was untouched by the explosion.
Chiyo sighed as well. "That was dumb luck, or even a miracle if you believe in miracles," she said. "On any other day, Roy or anyone else could have died from the blast radius. It is dumb luck that Roy is alive and all four of his limbs are still attached. That explosive javelin is no joke."
Tsuyu listened to Recovery Girl and realized that she was right. Sure, her quirk would help her stay underwater much longer and she has always been a fast swimmer. But the moment the Sports Master threw his javelin. All of her strength can go out the window. That area would be her tomb. Blood is everywhere and all of her limbs are blown off making her unrecognizable and ends up at a closed-casket funeral.
Roy did nothing special when he dived in, and the explosion happened so quickly. His surviving and having all limbs attached is dumb luck.
She is happy that Red Arrow is alright, but her breathing is still rapid. She has to calm down. Roy is fine and it wasn't her who dived in.
13:26 - 13:36
After escaping a near-death experience at the hands of Sports Master. Red Arrow realizes he needs help.
Aizawa is proud of Roy, and realistically the only villain to worry about is Cheshire. Aizawa would be in this case, and he knows her weapons are laced with poison. However, the situation changes when Sports Master and Ra's Al Ghul are involved. Having a backup is necessary.
Especially now that we know that Lex Luthor is the Target. There wouldn't be a window of opportunity in which Cheshire would be alone with Lex Luthor. He isn't like Doctor Roquette when she was the target, this time the target cannot just hide he is needed for the summit. Lex Luthor would be surrounded by tons of cameras, lights, and of course the Media.
Aizawa believes a silent assassination is possible and most likely her first option. However, Red Arrow just called up for backup. Even if she managed to sneak away from the security. There would be heroes in the room too, that would recognize her based on the Justice League files.
"We know Ra's Al Ghul will send Cheshire to kill Luthor, but she has Sports Master at her side now. I believe this wouldn't be a silent assassination like she tried against Roquette. This would be loud, like earlier with the Rocket Launcher." Aizawa said letting out what he believes could be Cheshire's second attempt.
All Might agree with him and let out his thoughts. "But this time, Red Arrow wouldn't be alone. He called out for backup."
The question is now, who picked up his call for help?
13:36 - 14:12
The scene shifted to a hotel suite that Lex Luthor was staying at.
The audience watches as Red Arrow informs Lex Luthor that it was Ra's Al Ghul who sent the hit on him, also the situation gets a lot worse mentioning that Cheshire will come, alongside Sports Master, and perhaps the head of the League of Assassins himself would take this opportunity to slain Lex Luthor once and for all.
They listen to Luthor and he is aware of Ra's Al Ghul's deep hatred of him. They continued to listen and they didn't like Red Arrow's suggestion.
"Roy, that's a terrible idea. You cannot let Lex Luthor defend himself, just because you don't like him." All Might scolded Red Arrow. "It is our job as Heroes to protect everyone, even if they don't see eye-to-eye, or share the same moral values as we do."
Even Aizawa agrees with him. "I agree with him. I know All Might and I don't see eye-to-eye, but we push that aside for the greater good. " He said. "I don't understand your beef with Lex Luthor. but from what I saw tonight, He is just trying to stop a war between two countries by being the voice of reason at tonight's peace summit. None of that sounds villainous."
Midnight shook her head disappointedly. "Roy, you stepped out from being Speedy to be your Hero as Red Arrow," she said. "However, from everything I've seen you're just being an angsty teenager. From how you acted at the Hall of Justice when you rejected your friends from becoming a member of the Team, and now this. You calm that you deserve to be a member of the Justice League, but you are acting like a child with a tantrum."
Many of the adults agree. Roy sounds like his typical angsty self. There is no evidence that Lex Luthor is a bad guy.
Afterward, Lex Luthor gave Red Arrow a hypothetical. Let's say Lex Luthor and Ra's Al Ghul do settle their rivalry. What would happen to the Peace Summit?
Izuku stood up agreeing with him. "Lex Luthor is right, Roy, you can't just let Lex Luthor and Ra's Al Ghul settle their rivalry once and for all. Mr. Luthor is too important for this Peace Summit, it cannot go wrong."
They watch as Roy may not like Lex Luthor, but he has a point. This Peace Summit is too important. He cannot just leave and let the two have a death match.
"The true enemy here is Cheshire. She is coming back and this time not alone. They need a plan."
Everyone heard what Mirio Togata said, Cheshire, Sports Master, and Ra's Al Ghul are coming.
The Hero side is glad to know that Roy does have a plan, it just requires Cheshire to come.
14:12 - 14:22
Location: Happy Harbor Rhode Island, Happy Harbor High.
The scene shifted to Conner and Megan's homeroom class watching the morning news.
The audience listened to Cat Grant. She mentioned that if the Peace Summit fails today, the media is expecting that the civil war between Northern and Southern Rhelasia will continue.
They even fear that I may even expand to a world war.
"This is bad, Mr. Luthor has to be successful at this summit," Uraraka added her absolute support to Lex Luthor.
14:22 - 14:44
The audience learns more about the lore of was founded in 1855 and was ruled by the Bokun Dynasty. After World War 2, it was divided into North and South Rlelasia by the great power.
"So it was around World War 2 when Rhelasia from a single nation that ended up splitting into two, fascinating." Midnight said intrigued at this history lesson.
14:44 - 15:05
Conner gave out a good question to his teacher. Why are both Northern and Southern Rhelasia at war with each other? They're both Humans and Rhelasians. The teacher agreed with Conner and he was right on both counts.
Megan however gave out her own thought, in the literal sense. She mentions what's happening at both Rhelasia is no different from the social norms back on Mars. Plenty of the mutant-types such as Spinner, Koda, and Shoji are surprised. That there is racism on a whole different planet based on their social norms and the color of their skin. The Green Majority and the White Minority are treated poorly as second-class citizens.
"I have no idea, there is racism on another planet," Spinner said disappointed hoping that racism only meant on Earth. But he was wrong.
Izuku was a surprise two. Even though every Martian has the same abilities as the other Martians, on the planet Mars there, it is the same in his universe. The same lingering annoying echo has haunted his mind ever since as a child.
Not all men are created equal.
On his Earth, and now Mars.
Being born Quirkless, and now being born as the minority skin color.
15:05 - 15:38
Location: Taipei, Taiwan.
The scene returns to the Summit and the audience listens to the argument of the Prime Minister and the General. The audience wasn't there to listen to the main conversation, what they just heard was an agreement that Northern and Southern Rhelasia have nothing in common anymore, and that unionship is impossible.
"Drama!" Toga shouted liking the heat between the two. "I think the two haven't stopped bickering even since Cheshire got locked up."
All For One agrees, just the failed attempt alone by Ms. Nguyen created this chaos and made both leaders paranoid.
The hero side sighs when Lex Luthor mentions the ceremony tea that is an exquisite luxury to both Rhelasian countries. They even see the lovely lady with the ceremony tea on her tray.
Shoto got his eyes wide recognizing who the lady was even with all of that heavy makeup. "It's Cheshire!"
Many of the audience gasped when Todoroki revealed that the waitress was Cheshire in disguise. Thankfully someone in the crowd recognized her too. The hero who answered Roy's call for backup wasn't a Justice League member or his former mentor Green Arrow, but rather it was his friend and member of the Team.
"It's Aqualad, Roy called Aqualad!" Kota cheered lovingly to see his favorite hero in action again. However, the joy of seeing his favorite hero turns pale when Cheshire presses a button on her tray and throws it directly to the hero.
The scene shifted outside showing an explosion so loud the audience had to cover their ears. They even see broken glass caused by the blast radius. It turns out her tray had hidden a bomb underneath its disguise.
The audience wonders what happened at the summit when the bomb exploded.
15:38 - 16:08
The screen reminded me to show what truly happened.
It turns out Aqualad and Red Arrow work together. The Pro Heroes, the Students, and the Villains were impressed at Aqualad his water shield protected everyone from the blast radius, what they were more impressed with was the little amount of water that was used to protect them all. The source was from the drinking glasses of the Press at their table, and Aqualad's very own water from his weapon.
That was how strong Xebelian sorcery is, it was as impressive as Queen Mera's Octopus technique with her own magic, but that was done under the sea. His Water Wall happened in a dry area with little water only. The Students wondered did Aqualad just went Plus Ultra.
They believe he hasn't, but that was impressive, He and the civilians are safe at his side of the Water Wall.
As for Red Arrow, he shot an explosive arrow toward the tray, and both bombs exploded before impacting the Water Water.
These two young brave men saved the civilians of the Peace Summit.
16:08 - 16:52
The audience learns that the fight isn't over and that Cheshire was just fine after the explosion.
The audience knows that a huge fight is coming and they also know that Sports Master is joining the battle alongside Cheshire. Also, he brought more party ragers for the summit.
"Great, Sports Master has brought ninjas from the League of Assassins."
"Provided by Ra's Al Ghul himself," Tokoyami replied to Jiro. "The party is just starting."
The audience sees that Red Arrow will be facing Cheshire, and Aqualad will be facing off against Sports Master.
Setsuna chuckled, "Funny that Cheshire is calling this rumble a date." seeing that Cheshire's battle has started with Red Arrow.
The security guards tried their best to outnumber Sports Master, but the villain is too skilled and he happens to be quirkless. Until Aqualad went to strike his attack at Sports Master.
Once again, The audience is going to witness a battle of a Xebelian Boy against a Quirkless man. The closest thing to a battle of Power vs Skill.
16:52 - 17:01
So you called one of your sidekick friends, but didn't you tell me that they're out of your league?
The students recalled that Roy in fact told Cheshire that earlier at the jail cell, and yet he called Aqualad.
"Perhaps, there is some respect that Roy has, but doesn't show when it comes to the Team," Izuku said hoping that Roy would ease up on the team, Especially since three of their members were his friends.
17:01 - 17:30
Location: Happy Harbour Rhode Island, Happy Harbour High.
It was absolute chaos at the summit, but the screen shifted back to Happy Barbour High.
"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL! WE WERE HEADING TO THE GOOD PARTS. WHY ARE WE NOW WITNESSING THE MARTIAN GIRL AT HER CHEERLEADING TRYOUT!" Bakugo shouted at the screen, but it just continued to play.
Float like a butterfly!
Sting like a bee!
Hornets!
Hornets!
Can't be beat!
Sting!
Ow!
Mina is screaming loving Megan's cheer, while Bakugo is screaming wanting to know what happened in Taipei.
17:30 - 18:18
After Megan's audition, there was a moment of silence as Wendy Harris and the rest of the Bumble Bees made a decision, but out of nowhere two of the cheerleaders Karen Beecher and friends got Megan all wet with Water.
"What the freaking hell girls!" Jiro shouted not liking the bucket of water.
Even Conner didn't like what just happened to Megan, but he tripped after Megan used her telepathy.
The heroes did not like Conner losing control of his emotions. First the Tee shirt, and now the cheerleading tryouts.
What's next, a food fight gone wrong?
Megan cannot be there with Conner forever only because she is angry.
Thankfully the cheerleaders explained that the bucket of water is part of their initiation ritual.
Mina shrieked at a high pitch that made Jiro cover her ears very tightly. "OMFG!" She shrieked again. "She is now a Bumblebee, This is the greatest thing I ever saw tonight. Nothing can compare to my happiness, Top of the world Ma! Top of the world!"
Meanwhile, Bakugo bangs his head on the wall wanting to see the fight at Taipei.
18:18 - 18:28
Mina is squealing like the fan girl that she is that Connor is carrying Megan's books. Bakugo on the other hand continues to band his head against the wall.
"WHY!"
*BAM!*
"WAS!"
*BAM!*
"I!"
*BAM!*
EVEN!"
*BAM!*
"BORN!"
Inko shook her head wanting Katsuki to stop banging his head. What would his mother think?
To Izuku, his book opens towards a page that has the name of the cheerleader and her boyfriend. "Karen Beecher and Mal Dulcan. I assume they're important later at Earth YJ."
18:28 - 18:53
Location: Taipei, Taiwan.
Bakugo immediately stops banging his head at the wall Seeing the scene return to Taipei, returning to the fight at the Peace Summit.
"Oh thank god it's back." Before Bakugo could return to his seat. The body collapses after banging his head on the wall repeatedly. Kirishima and Recovery Girl help Bakugo out of the cinema and into the Lobby for Chiyo to heal the lad. This caused Bakugo, Recovery Girl, and Kirishima out of the fanfic and won't be returning until the next chapter.
On the screen, the episode showdown continues.
"Holy shit, Bakugo is missing a lot of epic scenes." Denki teased the ashed blonde but realized he already left the room. "Oh poop, I was hoping to see his reaction."
The first thing that happened was Red Arrow blocking Cheshire's shurikens.
"You have to admit that was so impressive, and the distance is quite close too. Comparing the distance between Cheshire and Red Arrow." Midnight said impressed by Red Arrow's reflexes. "It's almost ironic Cheshire did something similar against Artemis."
The scene continues with Aqualad and his fight with Sports Master. The Hero side didn't like what Sports Master just spilled.
"He knows about their mission at Bialya, but Sports Master wasn't even at Bialya. We only met him from the previous mission at Santa Prisca." Present Mic ranted.
"Hizashi, it's pretty clear now ever since the Roquette mission that a Light Agent is working alongside the Team." Aizawa reminds him and the other adults in the room. "We don't know who it is, but the update that was just given to us is that the Light Agent isn't a hoax. Whoever He or She is is leaking information to the Light, even to agents of the Light, Like Sports Master," he said. "We'll discuss this much later, but for now. Red Arrow and Aqualad have to prevent Cheshire and Sports Master from ruining the Peace Summit any much further."
18:53 - 19:22
It was time to end the fight as Red Arrow fired one of his arrows to trigger the sprinkler system causing all of the water to burst out. The students understood why Red Arrow did what he did with the Sprinkler system, it was for Aqualad to use and it was for him to go beyond and plus ultra.
They watch as Aqualad uses his Xebelian magic to shape the water and take the form of a Water Serpent, and it attacks the other ninjas.
The villains watched the Water Serpent and believed the villains lost, back in their world the concept of Go Beyond and Ultra meant the villains lost the heroes won. That is why they were shocked when it was Cheshire who easily got rid of the serpent with quick thinking and a simple grenade.
In the world they are familiar with, the concept of Go Beyond and Plus Ultra meant instant win. Just like the iconic Rasengan or the Kamehameha Wave. However, universe Go Beyond and Plus Ultra, means nothing. Quirkless men and women like Sports Master and Cheshire can use their brains to overcome obstacles like Xebelian magic, and other quirks.
Cheshire gives inspiration to the villains. They have so much more to improve and learn from this universe.
For the League of Villains to be stronger.
19:22 - 19:33
Due to the smoke that was created, one of the ninjas had an opportunity to strike, and he was aiming to kill the Prime Minister and the General.
The heroes realize that because of the smoke, Red Arrow and Aqualad are too distracted to even react to the ninja who was heading to Prime Minister Tseng and General Singh Manh Li. There are no heroes who can save them.
Until Lex Luthor ordered his bodyguard Mercy Graves to attack the ninja. What they didn't expect was that her right arm was a cybernetic arm-rifle that fired hyper-focus energy bullets that knocked out the ninja.
The audience was not expecting a cybernetic arm-rifle from Mercy Graves, they were expecting a pistol, but not that.
Then the Heroes and the Madame President recall the discussion with Red Arrow and Lex Luthor earlier. That Lexcorp indeed creates and sells war weapons to countries like Rhelasia. However, they were expecting ordinary rifles, guns, and perhaps tanks like they had seen pictures from World War 2, but after seeing Mercy Graves' arm it was a game changer. Her arm can harm superhumans like themselves, and perhaps aliens like Superman and Martian Manhunter. If his weapons were sold to villain groups like the League of Villains and The Shie Hassaikai it would be a game changer for sure. To the point, it would be the villains who would win.
A prime scenario would be the invasion at the Shie Hassaikai hideout when the Heroes went to save Eri. Hypothetically, if the yakuza purchased weapons from LexCorp they would still have Eri, and the heroes like Deku and Lemillion would be dead.
The Heroes are finally starting to see Lex Luthor in the eyes of Roy Harper.
"Holy shit," Kai mutters under his breath.
Kai started to realize that his first idea was to join a business with Thomas Wayne in manufacturing the Quirk cure would go sour very quickly. He admitted he was wrong, he wouldn't invest his work with Wayne Enterprises. He rather do it with LexCorp.
Tomura finally sees the value of Lex Luthor and his company. 'We need weapons from LexCorp to ensure our victory against the Pro Heroes.' He thought as he laughed under his breath.
19:33 - 19:52
When the smoke cleared, Cheshire and Sports Master were gone. What makes things worse is that the Priminister and the General thank Lex Luthor for saving both their lives, and owe him a debt of gratitude.
A while ago, the heroes would be happy for Lex Luthor for saving the day. However, with the current events they are not sure what to think about Lex Luthor.
19:52 - 20:02
The scene shifted to Cat Grant reporting thanks to Lex Luthor's heroic deeds tonight at the Peace Summit. He was able to succeed in having Prime Minister Tseng and General Singh Manh Li the peace treaty that could unify Northern and Southern Rhelasian back into a single nation.
To the Heroes they were happy that the conflict between both Rhelasian countries had settled their differences. That is good and all, but could they continue to trust Lex Luthor?
That's for them to figure out, it happens to be quite sooner than later.
20:02 - 20:40
The audience listened to Red Arrow and Aqualad. Due to the fact that both world leaders signed the Peace Treaty, it was a mission success for both of them, but a mission failure for the League of Assassins.
The Hero side can agree with that, however, the adults couldn't say they could sleep peacefully tonight, when Roy mentioned Kaldar's conversation with Sports Master, about a possible mole leaking intel within the Team and passing information to the Light.
The students wish the mole to be just a hoax because they like and relate to the young heroes of the Team. However, they cannot ignore the possibility of a mole, a traitor among the young heroes.
Despite what the student feels about their friends, they have to push it aside in case one of them is a traitor. Whatever bond, or relationship they have with that person, either he or she has to go out of the window.
It isn't easy, no one says it is.
They must do it even if it hurts them.
They have to snuff out the mole.
It was a lot harder for Midoriya and Monoma when Aqualad mentioned he had to do it, and not tell the team. He has to keep it a secret, he cannot trust the other members 100 percent, and as leader, he has to expect the possibility of a mole, rather than ignoring it.
Midoriya and Monoma see that Aqualad is planning to investigate to see how big of a percentage of the mole's existence. They cannot just say it's a hoax. They know that Sports Master knew about their activities at their past missions like Bialya.
If a mole is one of their dearest classmates or close friends. They HAVE to be in Aqualad's shoes. Even if it feels like betraying their friends.
The fact of the matter is, that someone is betraying their class, Just how else would the League of Villains know about the camp location?
To prevent another Bakugo kidnapping incident. They have to find the mole or more people will be hurt.
Midoriya and Monoma took a breath. Wondering if they can truly do what Aqualad is about to do, and do they have the willpower to give them the strength to push their personal feelings aside.
'It's not easy, but I have to do it.' thought both Midoriya and Monoma.
The UA mole pales knowing that their days are numbered.
20:40 - 21:05
Before Roy could leave, Kaldar went to ask his friend a question. Earlier after he escaped a near-death experience Roy's first instinct was to call the Cave. He could have called any member of the Justice League tonight, or even Green Arrow, but no, he called the Cave.
Izuku agrees with Kaldar. "Hypothetically, there is a chance no one answered the cave and Aqualad was surprising the one available. But what if it wasn't him, It could have been Red Tornado, Dick, or Wally who could have been fighting alongside Roy today."
Monama continues for him. "It may not even be someone familiar who picks up his call. Like Miss Martian, Superboy, or Artemis." He said. "Roy, I understand you are close to Kaldar, Dick, Wally, and Red Tornado. But if anyone of them including the ones that are new to you. They will come to Taipei and help you. Despite how you act around them."
Roy nodded and admitted that he does respect the Team. He is also still new to being a Solo Hero. But if he needs help again he will call help from the Team, and he will answer if they need his help.
Many of the heroes and students like Roy's honest answer. He does respect the Team, but his attitude and behavior are just that angst and nothing more.
21:05 - Final Scene.
The final scene shifted back to Lex Luthor's hotel suite.
The audience was shocked to see who Lex Luthor was talking with.
"Holy Shit, Roy was right all along. He is a scumbag." All Might was speechless after seeing Mr. Luthor share a drink with Ra's Al Ghul.
They listened to the conversation. They mention their true goal was never to make sure Rhelasia remained separated, they wanted Rhelasia to be whole again, and this 'Peace' is nothing more but manipulation. To help the nation of Rheleasia to see the Light, and it's all thanks to the help of LexCorp.
The Heroes couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"They wanted the Peace Wanted to go well, but to ensure it did go well. Ra's Al Ghul sent Cheshire and Sports Master to create fear and paranoia." Madame President explained. "The assassination attempt was nothing more, but moot. A performance act to ensure The Prime Minister and the General to sign the treaty."
Izuku is shocked to learn that Lex Luthor isn't who he thought he was. More importantly, he realizes what Ra's Al Ghul and Lex Luthor have accomplished. "They turn 'Peace' into a weapon of manipulation. By gaining the trust of Rhelasian leaders." He said. "Also there is nothing we, or the Justice League can do to show that Lex Luthor is a criminal. The entire peace summit was caught on camera. He would gain more followers and supporters. They wouldn't see the corruption under the glitz and glamour. Roy was right, he and probably Green Arrow saw Luthor's true colors."
Even Monoma was surprised too. "He tricked us with his good guy aura, but behind the camera, he is a member of the Light as much as Ra's Al Ghul."
The audience is shocked to learn about the truth of the Peace Summit and the assassination attempts. The Light is a manipulated event, they would even make the heroes look good if need be.
The Audience from both sides realizes how powerful The Light is.
A powerful enemy for the Pro Heroes, and a powerful ally for the League of Villains.
Before the episode ended there was a music video featuring Lex Luthor as the star.
Who's been messing up everything?
It's been Luthor all along.
Who's been pulling every evil string?
It's been Luthor all along.
He's insidious (ha-ha!)
So perfidious.
That you haven't even noticed
And the pity is (the pity is)
Pity, pity, pity, pity
It's too late to fix anything
Now that everything has gone wrong
Thanks to Luthor (ha!)
Naughty Luthor
It's been Lex Luthor all along!
That's all folks!
"Oh fuck." Neito swore hating being tricked.
