Huge thanks to Elfendrago and Crafty Blaine for buying my Patreon! It really means a lot to me! anyways, onto the story!
[3rd POV] [Mount Justice]
A few hours had passed since the spell had separated the adults and children, and a few things had happened. For one, Gwen had begun to go around the world, finding children and taking them to the local refugee centers that were set up all over.
The group was standing in the mission room, trying to decide a new course of action, after Gwen had used a simple tracking spell, finding exactly where the spell was originating from. The group had been coming up with plans on defeating the magic users that are no doubt the cause of this, while Gwen was mostly ignoring them. Why? Because she had her own plan, one that she was quite sure would work...she hoped at least.
Nabu had been a major help, and basically been the one to confirm the possibility of the plan working in the first.
Within these several hours, Gwen had also went around taking care of some...locations. Cadmus, Lexcorp, basically Light affiliated places that had data, were being attacked all across the planet, whenever she got even the slightest chance to do so.
By the end of the fourth hour, she had completely absorbed, and destroyed, the data of at least 15 different Light affiliated data centers. All of that knowledge was hers now, and would be quite the boon. Bialya was the biggest target during this time, while also being a place she had to help kids at.
Currently, she was standing in the mission room with the team. As they were looking over the recent data and videos that were shared across the globe. The picture it sent...wasn't entirely pretty.
"How much longer should we wait? I don't think we can handle this for much longer" Artemis asked, knowing that it was only a matter of time before they started to get overwhelmed.
"It would be best we destroy the ritual that is doing this soon, before casualties begin to grow" Raven said softly, knowing that it was only a matter of time before people started dying, just as they would get overwhelmed.
Before anyone could comment on what was said, a soft *Krackoom* filled the room. Immediately everyone turned around, only to find a short, black haired kid standing there.
"Who are you? Where did you come from?" Kaldur immediately asked, tensing at the unknown child now in their homebase.
"Captain Marvel?" Gwen asked, looking to the young boy. She obviously knew that it was him, but kept herself covered.
"In the flesh!" Billy Batson, aka Captain Marvel, aka Shazam, replied, a smile on his face.
"You really expect us to believe this is Captain Marvel? He's just a kid" Wally asked, looking to the unknown child.
"Gee, Wally, do I really need to bring you more nachos and pineapple juice to get on your good side?" Billy replied, a smirk on his face.
Wally went silent, as did the rest of the team as they all glanced at one another.
"Told ya" Gwen said with a smile, before looking to Billy.
"You can travel between the two dimensions, right? I'm assuming dear old pops sent you here to get into contact with us, so that we can execute a plan to stop the ritual?" Gwen asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yep!" Billy responded, a grin of excitement on his childish face.
'This is gonna be fun'
Alongside a large pathway, lined with dead trees, Klarion stood. The ground was marked with a large, magical circle, humming with power, as it glowed a soft red color. Within the middle of the circle was a rather large stone, glowing a golden color.
The Lord of Chaos was focusing on the ritual, and keeping it running. The Lord of Chaos stopped as he began to look around, sensing something amiss.
Klarion was cut off as arrows and throwing stars flew his way. Blocking it with a wave of his hand, conjuring a reddish shield, the Lord of Chaos turned amused.
"Is that the best you can do?" After saying those words, Klarion raised his hand, causing a bolt of red energy to fly out like lightning, slamming against the ground where Dick and Artemis were standing. The two were thrown back from the blast, as Klarion grinned at the sight.
From every other side Kid Flash, Kaldur, and Superboy sprinted in. Each of them trying their best to get close to Klarion, close enough to actually inflict some damage on the Lord of Chaos himself.
That would have worked, if Klarion didn't conjure a large energy dome around himself, throwing the three young heroes back.
Running forward, Zatanna began to incant a spell, in an attempt to destroy the dome. Only for the dome to effortlessly absorb the magic.
"Huh, baby magic" Klarion said with a scoff, before incanting his own spell, throwing Zatanna high in the air, and then back. She began to fall to the ground with a small scream, only to be caught by Superboy.
Next M'gann tried her luck, throwing large rocks at the barrier, only for it to be ineffective. The team continued to hammer into the barrier, with M'gann lifting larger and larger rocks, while Zatanna was casting stronger and stronger spells.
All the while, Gwen was waiting, preparing for the perfect moment.
Sitting on the branch of a dead tree, cloaked in a multitude of ways, Gwen silently watched them fight the boy.
'Are you certain you wish to try this?' Nabu asked inwardly, knowing of the plan that his host was planning.
'Yep. There's not much of a negative if this fails, right?' Gwen asked inwardly.
'I suppose not. But it is risky, child. Not only that, but we have no way of knowing the effect this will have on you' Nabu responded, worried for his host.
'I know that, but I also know that this is way too good of a chance to pass up. The pro's outweigh the cons, we both know this' Gwen said inwardly, sighing at the worry of her friend.
'I suppose you are right...just...be careful child, I quite like being bound to you' Nabu inwardly said, causing Gwen to chuckle.
'Big softie'
Gwen silently continued to watch, as the attacks began to wear on barrier, before noticing the Lord of Chaos falter, his focus entirely on keeping the barrier up.
'Now!' Gwen thought, before blurring with pure speed.
Flashing, she reappeared in front fo her true target...a small stripped cat. "NOOO!" Klarion screemed in fury as Gwen picked the cat up, and apparated off with a soft *pop*.
"Everyone, remember the plan! Get that crystal!" Kaldur yelled, not entirely sure what Gwen was doing, but trusting her.
[In another location, far away]
Reappearing with a soft pop, Gwen looked down at the cat in her hands.
It was a small little thing, pretty cute too. Ginger fur with stripes, red eyes that blinked up at her innocently, and a small collar around it's neck.
"Well aren't you just the cutest little thing" Gwen said with a soft coo. Smiling as the cat just meowed at her, not threatened by her, seemingly.
Gwen frowned when she noticed something. 'Is that...well if I didn't hate Klarion before...I certainly do now' Gwen thought, noticing the obvious signs of bruising around the cats neck. Not to mention just how thin the poor thing was.
'Seems this universe is a bit more AU than I was expecting...not surprised' Gwen thought, knowing that something like this was definitely possible, even in canon. Klarion was a Lord ofYôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
Chaos, at the end of the day.
'Alright, system, is the idea I have genuinely possible?' Gwen asked, knowing that the system would answer her now, unlike before when she questioned the possibility of this plan. [Yes. But it is up to the user to gain the allegiance of the familiar. Should that happen, then the system will naturally aid with the rest, as it did with the Helmet] 'Good, and that should be easy enough. Especially now that I know what that Klarion has obviously not treated this little cutie very well' Gwen thought, a soft scowl on her face, before softly petting the cat on it's soft head, which Teekl leaned into.
"He didn't treat you very well, did he?" Gwen asked, softly rubbing under Teekl's chin, causing the cat to purr and nod. The cat was far smarter than a normal one, as she had the
ability to telepathically talk with her "master".
"And do you want to keep being his familiar?" Gwen asked.
The cat meowed and tilted it's head, before shaking it's head.
"How about you become mine? I've got all sorts of little toys for you and enough food to last you forever" Gwen asked, crouching down to the cat that was now curiously looking up at her. "Mrowr?" Teekl tilted her head, wondering what the nice human meant.
"I mean, I can sever your bond with Klarion, permanently, and then bond you to me instead" Gwen answered calmly, knowing the cat was confused.
Teekl tilted it's head before meowing again "Meow?"
Gwen, thanks to her...immense knowledge, had a good idea about what the kitty was saying
"It's pretty simple. You just need to direct the magic inside of you to me, instead of Klarion,
therefore making me your master instead of him"
"Mrowr?" "It's that easy" Gwen replied, amused at the fact that she was having a fullblown
conversation with a literal cat.
"Oh, and if you do this, you'll be able to sleep as much as you want, and get catnip" Gwen
added, smirking as the cat perked up.
"Mrowr, meow meow mrowr" Teekl replied, jumping to it's feet.
Chuckling, Gwen slowly reached her hand forward "It's easy Teekl. You know the bond you
have with Klarion? The magic that is within you, the magic that he uses to cast his spells? That Chaos magic? All you need to do is imbue it into me through contact, and everything else will happen naturally"
Teekl looked at Gwen for a few moments, before nodding and moving forward. 'Who knew
cats would be so easy to bribe...' Gwen thought with a soft smile, as she put her fist out, as if she was about to bump fists with Teekl.
In response, Teekl just glanced at her fist, before slowly raising it's paw, as dark, powerful red energy swarmed around it.
In Rhode Island, where a certain Lord of Chaos was struggling against the might of the Young Justice, and the newly returned adults, a scream of horror began to wretch itself from his
throat.
"What is that brat doing! IS SHE INSANE?! STOP STOP STOP STOP! STOP HER BEF-" Klarion
couldn't continue as a scream of pure pain escaped him, his body glowing red, slowly
beginning to dissolve.
"What the hell?" Dick muttered, as Klarion looked...afraid?
"You must stop her! Even I'm not stupid enough to do what she's doing!" Klarion screamed
out, fear filling him as he realized what Gwen was doing.
"What is she doing?" Batman asked, moving forward, while Zatara was casting every spell he
could, trying to pinpoint her location.
"Answer us Klarion!"
"It's too late! The idiots already g-oing through with i-it" Klarion stuttered as the last of his body disintegrated into absolutely...nothing.
Back with Gwen, she was watching in interest as Chaos magic, swirled and poured into Teekl.
As the last of the energy gathered inside Teekl, the cat opened it's glowing red eyes, and meowed one last time, before slowly touching it's paw with Gwen's fist. And then...all Gwen knew was...pain.
Chaos power poured from Teekl from her paw, directly into Gwen herself, as red chaotic
energy swirled around both of them.
The skies above began to boom, lightning flashing in the skies. The seas in the areas around them picked up, as the waves heightened more and more. The wind picked up in their surroundings, causing tree's to sway and crack.
The energy surrounding the two continued to grow larger and larger. Creating - to the outside
- a large tornado of red energy, swirling around the cat, and "human".
Said "human" was trying her best not to scream in pain, as the pure chaos wrecked havoc on
her organs, magic, and very soul.
Nabu was forced to watch, and feel the effects of what his host was doing. The idea had come
up with her at one point, after Gwen had realized that Teekl was more than just a mere "Familiar".
It would be more accurate to say she (Teekl) was a "container" of sorts for Klarions power. A
container that...wasn't completely bound to Klarion, courtesy of Teekl being an ordinary cat at one point.
So the question was asked..."What if I somehow bind Teekl to me?". Familiar's weren't
entirely rare in the magical world, thus, she found the way in which to bind an already existing animal as a familiar, and just...edited it a bit.
Nabu was...not entirely for the idea, but after realizing that this would permanently rid the
world of Klarion, while also strengthening his host, he thought more of it. Not to mention, Gwen was more than just order, she was Chaos as well. Both of them were equal inside of her...somehow. She was quite literally the perfect host for a Lord of Order AND A lord of Chaos. A perfect combination of Order and Chaos, both the magic of Order, and magic of Chaos. A perfect equilibrium impossible to others, an anomaly unlike any others. 'F-fuck this hurts!' Gwen thought groaning in pain, trying her best not to scream. She hadn't felt pain like this in...a long time. The feeling of chaos running wild inside of her,
was...not fun.
But as the chaos continued to wreck havoc, she began to slowly feel it. The bond, the energy,
the power. Slowly she began to "grip" and "control" the magic running havoc inside of her, as Teekl watched in slight worry, hoping it's new master wouldn't die so soon. Using all her experience with magic, control, mediation, chi, etc. Gwen began to slowly control the new energy, reigning it in, making it submit to her will.
Slowly the pain began to cease, as what replaced it was complete and utter...ecstasy.
A deep laugh escaped Gwen's lips as red energy swirled around her, hey eyes glowing a soft
deep red. "Man this feels great!" Gwen said with a grin, controlling the power in her hands.
'... It worked...you did it...' Nabu inwardly spoke, genuine and rare shock in his tone.
'Are you alright, mistress?' Another voice asked, powerful, and...feminine? Blinking at the voice, Gwen looked to Teekl, before realization hit her 'Teekl? Is that you?'
'Did the bond work? Is that...man gone?'
'He is, for good this time' Gwen thought, a soft smile on her face as she slowly leaned down,
and allowed the cat to jump to her right shoulder, it's favorite spot.
'Good, I never much liked him. He never gave me good food or treated me very nicely' Teekl
inwardly said.
'Well you won't have to worry about that Teekl, I'll be taking care of you from now on, I
promise that' Gwen inwarldly said.
'Are you alright Nabu?'
'I am, child. I'm simply...shocked that this was possible. You truly are the greatest anomaly I
have ever come across...ever will come across' Nabu replied, causing Gwen to chuckle in
response.
'Thanks Nabu, for helping me with this' Gwen thought, knowing that the being had aided her
in reigning in the chaos.
'It was my pleasure child. Now, I suggest you return back to your team, bef-'
'What the fu-' Gwen thought as everything...stopped.
[Alert! Alert! Alert!]
[...The Endless have gazed upon you]
Gwen paled as every instinct in her body screamed to run. Her spider senses flared in every
direction. Teekl, who was not frozen, tensed as her fur raised.
'Do not run! You cannot get away from them'
'I know, I know!' Gwen inwardly responded.
[Destiny has taken interest in the anomaly that is the host]
[Death has taken interest in the anomaly that is the host] [Destruction has taken interest in the anomaly that is the host] [Dream has taken interest in the anomaly that is the host] [Delirium has taken interest in the anomaly that is the host] [Desire has taken interest in the anomaly that is the host] [Despair has taken interest in the anomaly tha is the host]
'...I'm so fucked' Gwen thought, sweat trickling down her forehead as she felt...fear. For the
first time in a long time, she felt genuine, real fear.
as I could have hoped for' Gwen thought with a smile.
'Go ahead and assimilate'
pretty great, but not as good
As she thought those words, pain began to filter in. The pain was...not really that bad to be
honest. It was nothing compared to getting the chaos magic, that pain far surpassed this.
The pain only lasted a few moments, as Gwen thought over her new memories, mainly Tony's. 'He...he's even better than I thought. As in, better than Reed, in inventing and engineering at
least' Gwen thought, realizing that the man was far more genius than she thought. His
knowledge would be quite the boon in the 'Go ahead and continue, system'

current characters pale in comparison to this mans knowledge. Includes all
helpful/important knowledge, and his species as a Timelord.

'...Holy shit' Gwen thought as she read the explanation for "The Doctor". It didn't even cover
half of the mans intelligence and knowledge, as she knew he was so skilled, that he could tell
what planet he was on, by the air, and tasting the soil.
'...That might be the best character I've gotten so far' Gwen thought, knowing that the Doctor while not physically powerful, was easily the smartest character she had gotten so far...by a longshot. He made Reed Richards and Tony Stark look like newborn children in comparison.
The man was just that intelligent, skilled, and knowledgeable. The rest weren't bad either, but the Doctor was easily the best of the bunch by a longshot. His
knowledge was far far superior to anyone else, primarily due to his age, and the species he
was born into.
'Go ahead and assimilate' Gwen thought, before being stricken with pain once more.
This time, it was far worse than the previous bunch. As the pain didn't just assault her heart
and chest, but also her brain. Her brain was being reworked, evolved, and improved, just as
many other parts of her body was. A second heart soon grew, while her very DNA began to warp and change.
Knowledge began to swarm into her brain, knowledge far surpassing that of anyone else so
far. Knowledge that would be vital in future worlds, knowledge that she was most certainly
going to abuse the shit out of.
Just as that happened, magic swirled around her slightly, before stopping, not nearly as much
as it was last time. The knowledge of Dahlia was okay, but nothing really all that special.
As her body finished adapting to the new changes, a soft sigh of contentedness escaped Gwen.
'The show does him no justice' Gwen thought, as she scanned through the hundreds of years
of knowledge. She noticed the new changes in her brain, the way everything seemed even
clearer than before, even faster than before, but quickly got sued to it thanks to her new
memories.
'And yet it still doesn't include his name' Gwen thought with a chuckle, knowing that it was
the greatest secret within The Doctors Multiverse for a reason. 'The Doctor is the only really good one of the bunch. The rest are fine...I guess, but not at all
comparable' Gwen thought with a sigh, before smiling. 'System, go ahead and do 5 more, I'll do the last 15 later Gwen thought, wanting to simply
snuggle with her girlfriend and sleep at that point.

'System, go ahead and assimilate those while I'm sleeping' Gwen thought, as she slowly
began to close her eyes.
Gwen had one final thought before she fell asleep, snuggling up with her girlfriend.
'Hopefully the talk with the League won't be too annoying'
Gain
access to an
additional chapter early, as well as other bonuses (like more than 25 exclusive stories) on my
patreon for three dollars a month! Or 30 dollars for an entire year!
https://www.patreon.com/Fanfictions770?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator
(Or just look up Crazedmadman on Patreon and you should find me)
That's the end of the chapter!
You have no idea how long this took to make...it was an actual pain in the ass. Finding
characters, adding them to the wheel, and then reading up on them took longer than writing
the beginning lol.
Give me some ideas for characters, please. They've gotta be Urban level or below, use the Vs
battles wiki as reference for that, if you
want.
Also, give me some ideas for things she can create. Be it serums, technology, or whatever else,
give me em! If I like it enough and use it, I'll make sure to shout you out for the idea!
Next chapter will be shorter (it's still 4600 words lol). The next 15 characters will be used over the next couple of chapters.
Was anyone expecting the Lord of Chaos thing? It was a plan I've had for a little while now, as
I thought it would be interesting. As I've never seen anyone do anything like it. It involved a
lot of BS on my side so...sorry if it didn't really make sense lol, attribute it to being partly AU.
The Endless part came to me as I realized that she was sort of breaking several laws/rules of
the DC
universe by being a pseudo Lord of Chaos, and host to a Lord of Order at the same time.
But the system is a bro, and she's an anomaly, so she's in the clear for now.
She won't be getting more tickets for a while after this, as this was the biggest bunch of
tickets she has ever gotten, and for good reason, considering what she just did.
I plan on her going to quite a few worlds, some longer than others, here's a few worlds I'm
interested in her going to:
Owl House
Naruto
My Hero Academia
Highschool DxD
Black Clover
Star Wars
Doctor Who
Jujutsu Kaisen
Legend of Korra
I also plan on her having a total of 5-6 love interests, so yeah. 4 of which are already
guaranteed, and a few others I've been contemplating.
Sorry about not uploading, I ended up going out for 4th of July, and got home late. This
chapter was also written over like 2 days because of this, so the quality might not be the best
at certain points.
Any ideas what the hidden reward could be?
Anyways, have a good day, see you tomorrow!
