Memoirs of a RAFian

[Cloak]

Point me to a wikipedia link, crossoverfan.  I may consider it -- I have done books based on comic arcs before. (Death of Superman, Phalanx Covenant, etc.)

Even if I do, it won't be until Book XIV.

Anyway -- I'm gonna take one liberty with this one . . . gonna be a bit short.

CHAPTER FIVE:
Fear Me, If You Dare

Demos and Dino woke up on a frightening-looking planet.  Faerie had awoken but kept her eyes closed.  Demos and Dino stood up but Faerie stayed down, and spoke from that position, "PLEASE tell that there are no saccherine bears around and that we're not on clouds."

"If THIS is the Care Bear univers, Faerie," Dino said, "then it's the Care Bears as created by Steven King."

With this Faerie's eyes snapped open, and she was in the air faster than you could say -- oh, never mind, that's a cliche.

"Where ARE we then?"

"Ain't Hell."

"'Ain't' isnt' a word, Demos." Dino scolded absently.

"So?"

"Enough," Dino said firmly.  "We should try and find a civilization or something, right?"

"What makes you think this lifeless rock even has people on it?" Demos asked earnestly.

"Just a hunch," Dino replied.

"Great, our lives depend on a hunch."

"Not a hunch, guys." Faerie said, landing with her hands up.  "It's fact."

Then the other two realized they were surrounded by people in what appeared to be yellow spandex suits with black trim.

"You think it was something I said?" Demos asked.

And the three were taken to see Sinestro. . . .

[The Spectre]

So basically batman has contigency plans in case member of the JLA are ever brainwashed or go rouge, these plans are stolen and used by Ra's Al Ghul. The JLA is seemingly defeated but...

So I assume that (if you picked this idea) the plans would be cloak's and the rest would be, well us.

[Cloak]

*winces*

One problem with that.  The Mark immunizes RAFians from being brainwa . . . except I did that with Oceanspray, didn't I?  Hmmmm . . . well, I'll consider it.  But I don't think it should be me -- because I could always hide in the Nexus, and no Dweller can enter the Nexus without a Realm Walker . . . or . . . hmmm . . .

Oh, more storylines at the bottom of the page!  Hmmm . . . well, I suppose that means there are potential more storylines I can incorporate, but first things first, let's finish the books I've already planned out.

As such -- another shortish chapter.

CHAPTER SIX:
Hope Lost

Blue, Parker, and Rocklobster awoke on a planet that was soothing somehow.  The atmosphere seemed charged with some uplifting feeling.  Rocklobster was sedately working out a burr in his arm rotator, or some other such thing.  Blue and Parker stood up and looked around.

"What is this place?" Blue said.  He could not hide the awe in his voice.

"I dunno," Parker confessed, "but it's real . . . real peaceful here."

"I wonder why?" Rocklober said, diagnosing his body for any more errors.  He was naked -- that is, he wasn't wearing his hologram.  He was pure Pemalite automaton.

"Why are you naked, Rock?" Blue said.

"Huh?" he said, and then looked down.  "Oh."

His human avatar hologram shimmered into place.

"Oh, there's no need for subterfuge," a calm voice said.  "You should be comfortable with whatever form you want."

The voice belonged to a decidedly alien creature.  He, assuming he was a he as he had a male voice, was bipedal with gray skin and a dulap structure at the back of his head.

"Who are you?" Parker said, with no hostility.

"Oh?  I'm Saint Walker," he said, genially.  "And you three are new to this place, I believe?"

"No kidding," Blue said.

"Not to mention with no real way back home," Parker mentioned.

"Oh, my new friends," Saint Walker said, "have hope.  You wil get where you need to be."

[Blazing Angel]

We get captured by various color themed bad guys, and Blue Parker and Rock all end up on a planet where the species has the word saint in it's name. *jumps off bridge*

[Cloak]

Oh, who says that you can't get uncaptured just as easily? *ambiguous-yet-telling smile*

[Ash]

Loved catching up Good stuff!

[Cloak]

It's on hiatus now.  Found out that Shadow's coming Tuesday or Wednesday.  THIS Tuesday or Wednesday.  Got to do housecleaning.

Sorry about the short notice.  If I have some time in the next month, I may post a chapter or two.  But I want to spend my time with Shadow, as I don't get to see her often enough (she just lives too far away, although she and Faith are moving closer -- we'll be in the same time zone, at least).

[Blazing Angel]

Don't worry, have fun.

[Cloak]

Well, I might be on more than I expected.  (Shadow wants to see parodies she's in.)

[Noelle]

Just caught up, great stuff.    Can't wait to see more, but no rush, enjoy your hiatus. ^_^

[Cloak]

I cannot resist but add another chapter.  I feel I also should remind everyone, the Lanterns of the Prime Universe are different slightly from the DC-verse.  Shortish chapter, now.

CHAPTER SEVEN:
Tribal Compassion

Horse, Terenia, and Phoenix groggily woke, got up, and looked around.  Peering blearily around, they saw they were on a world with a slightly lavender color.  They could see a faint indigo light.  They did not feel threatened in any way.  But the feeling of calmness somehow felt alien to them after what just happened.

"Oh, I wonder what realm we're in," Horse said, giving a little seal yawn.

"But didn't Cloaky say it wasn't a interdimensional depth charge?" Terenia asked.  She was a Yeerk nothlit with a human host.  "Didn't he say it was a subspace something-or-other?"

"Subspace displacement bomb, maybe?" Phoenix suggested idly.  "Okay -- that light is getting closer."

It was true.  The indigo light was approaching, but at a rather sedate rate.

"We could hide." Horse suggested.  She was adept at hiding from the Pootang.  Not always succeeding though.

"No . . . I don't think . . ." Terenia said, but she sounded more confused and perplexed than fearful.  "I dunno . . . they don't FEEL like a threat, do they?"

"'They'?" Phoenix asked.

"They're people, that indigo light," Terenia said, matter-of-factly.

"How do you know this, Terenia?" Phoenix asked, flummoxed.

"A hunch," she replied.

After what felt to be an hour, they saw that she was right.  A bunch of beings surrounded them, but their intent did not seem hostile.  But it did not help that none of the trio understood a word the weilders of this indigo light of compassion spoke.  Apparently their staffs -- they did not seem to have rings -- did not have a translation function.

"Uh . . . we come in peace?" Horse said, hopefully.

"That's so cliche," Phoenix muttered.

"You have anything better?"

[Cloak]

'Nother chapter. (Shadow wants to read her Hunger Games -- she keeps this up, she'll have no books to read on the way to Washington! . . . She is so much like me. . . .)

CHAPTER EIGHT:
Oa, A Minor Problem*

Cloak, Goku, and Sam (aka crossoverfan) landed on a strange world with strange technological buildings.  Cloak was right on his feet within minutes.  You'd think that by being a Realm Walker that he'd be accustomed to walking in foreign lands.  That's not always necessarily true.  But Cloak could feel a certain frosty feeling that he could place.

"What hap --" Sam started, then saw where they were.  "Why are we on Oa?"

Oa, Cloak already knew, was the headquarters of the Green Lanterns and home of the Guardians of the Universe.  Though the claims of immortality the Guardians have Cloak didn't believe for an instant.  He thought that they were like Realm Walkers, just extremely long-lived.  But Cloak was unaware that he was not the first Realm Walker to step foot here.  He was not the first Realm Walker that the Guardians ever met.

It was at this moment that Cloak noticed some of the mechanical-appearing planet was severely damaged, but slowly being repaired by some other Green Lanterns.  Ones that he didn't know.

"That subspace translocation bomb!" Cloak exclaimed quietly.

"And what would that be?" Goku said, surly.

"Unlike the interdimensional depth charges, which blow anyone in their vicinity to other realms (depending on it's explosive yield and craftmanship), the subspace translocation bomb basically blows us into various directions, speeding through space and subspace, and there's no telling where you'd end up!!"

"So, we're still in our universe?" Sam asked.

"Yeah.  I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not a subspace expert," Cloaky said.

Suddenly, Sam and Goku were addressed by their sectors, and a whole group of Green Lanterns surrounded Cloak.  There rings were glowing green, and they looked quite angry.  Sam and Goku were, needlessly to say, quite taken aback.

One of the Green Lanterns spoke directly to Cloak, "Malice, you're under arrest."**

---
*Supposed to be read as "Oh, uh, a minor problem".

**They apparently think all Realm Walkers look alike. . . .

[Blazing Angel]

I was always under the impresson you're face was covered the majority of the time.

[Cloak]

I understand that misconception, but Realm Walkers have different builds, based on the animal/mythological form they take on. . . . For instance Malice is a bit more burly and stout than I am, being a Tasmanian devil (and I'm talking a real Tasmanian devil, not the Looney Tunes one).

Oh, if I could only find that picture that Damien once did of me . . . it was absolutely perfect. . .

Anyway, more chapters will probably come tomorrow . . . after this one.

CHAPTER NINE:
A Brief Interrogation

Cloak was deeply offended.

"I am NOT Malice," Cloak said with a dangerous tone.  He was unconcerned about the power rings directed at him.  Energy is energy, and he knew it well, as he and all Realm Walkers were born from it.  Granted, it wasn't this particular type, but still Cloak had no fear.  "First of all, Malice is female.  I'm male.  Second of all, I'm taller and a tiger.  She's stout and a Tasmanian devil.  She's pretty much evil incarnate, and I'm just the elements incarnate."

"You will come with us," another one of the Green Lanterns ordered.  Sam and Goku looked confused, but did not train their rings on him.  Cloak did not the arrogant timbre of this being's voice.  With all his powers, Cloak could easily snap him in half.  But that would not be very PR-friendly, Cloak thought.

"And if I refuse," Cloak said with narrowed eyes, "what then?"

"You will not refuse."

"Willful thing, aren't you?" Cloak said, with a weary tone to his voice.  "Oh, of course, you're Green Lanterns.  Those little trickets you wear are powered by it.  I forgot."

This Lantern shot a venomous look at Goku and Sam, who looked thoroughly mollified.  Cloak interceded on their behalf, "Oh, don't give them that 'You-Are-So-Dead-Meat' look.  They told me nothing.  Do you honestly think that you are the only Green Lanterns in all the realms?  Really?"

Silence.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"Come with us." he said.

"Ask nicely."

"You have no authority to give me orders!"

"What makes you think you have the authority to give me orders?"

"You came here," he snarled.  "Of your own accord, no less --"

"You know very little." Cloak countered.

"Well, then, these two must have apprehended you."

"Still you know very little," Cloak said, matching his snarl.  "I did not come here of my own volation.  Neither did they."

"You must come with us," he repeated.  He sounded less sure about being able to force Cloak do anything he didn't want to.  Of course, he still thought Cloak was Malice.

"To be tried, indicted for something I had no part of?  To be punished for the actions of someone my grandfather's peer?" Cloak said.  "I think not.  But I want to speak to your Blue Boy bosses." Cloak said, heading toward where the Guardians are located.

[Sakki]

I had to look up so much to understand what is going on.

Everything makes so much more sense now.
