Chapter 2: Rescuing Batman

Authors Note: This Vegeta is from DBS, while he is still cocky and an ass, he has changed drastically when it comes to his DBZ counterpart, which is why he acts the way he does later on in this chapter.

It had been a day since the incident with Sinestro, while it took too long for Batmans liking to convince Vegeta and Goku that now wasn't the time to strike at the heart of Superman's empire, he was at least able to get them to come along and stick with their plan, promising them that they'd each get to fight the strongest among Superman, with Goku winning the ridiculous bout of rock, paper, scissors with Vegeta to decide who would be the one to take on Superman first. Batman and the others could not understand why the two Sayians took Superman to be nothing but a fun challenge, he was a terror that needed to be stopped, plain and simple. Batman sighed as he went through the final plans he had drawn up to rescue the other universes Batman from imminent execution by Superman and his world government and turned to the group who was standing behind him waiting for the details. Wonder Woman and Green Arrow were standing side by side talking in a hushed tone, Green Lantern and Flash were both sitting at a table sipping at their coffee silently, Aquaman leaning on his trident staring at the screen, Goku and Vegeta both staring at the screen both looking as if they were itching for this to get over with to begin the fight. Batman finally stood up and looked at the assembled heros and two saiyans in his secret cave, "Since Goku and Vegeta are keen on fighting the strongest they have and have shown us their strength, I am assigning Vegeta to go and rescue the other me as he will no doubt be guarded by some of the strongest men Superman has to offer. Goku, you will take on Superman yourself and lead him as far away from where he is being held and do your best to take him out, but don't kill him if you beat him as we can safely imprison him once dealt with. As for the rest of us, we will provide support. There's no need to sneak in when you have someone like Vegeta that can just blow a hole in the structure and get him out with relative ease."

The room stayed relatively quiet for a moment until Aquaman spoke up, "While we do have these two on our side I think that it is also best that I use my powers over the sea to create tidal waves aimed at the structure, that should take out a majority of the defenses they have and make it easier for the rest of us to get in."

Vegeta chuckled, "By the time you get there all of their 'defenses' will have been obliterated by myself and Kakkarot, there's no need for your magic."

Green Lantern puts his coffee mug down and stands up, "While you may be able to get that all done you have your job to do and we'll have ours Vegeta, I don't deny that you have the power to do all that you've stated but we all have our jobs, do yours so we can do ours."

Batman nods, "Exactly, we need you to be a team player Vegeta, can you do that?"

Vegeta scoffs, "Fine, I'll do as asked to make this easier for us all. Besides, I'd rather focus on the bigger challenges as guns and missile launchers are child's play."

Batman nodded, "Beware of this man, Vegeta, his name is Black Adam" a picture of a odd looking man wearing black and gold robes filled the screen, "Not only is he powerful, he is ruthless. Recently, he killed scores of men, women, and children for the crime of getting in his way." Goku visibly tensed, but Vegeta instantly thought of families much like his own being ended on a whim without thought, imagining children like Trunks and mothers like his Bulma wiped out. Vegeta screamed and blacked out with rage flying straight through the caves roof and towards their destination. Batman could only sigh at the sight of Vegeta losing his cool, nodded at the rest of them to follow Vegeta, and off they headed towards the fortress of solitude, where Batman was held.

In a matter of seconds Vegeta arrived at the scene with Goku slightly behind him, Vegeta, noticing the weakened ki of the captured Batman and flying straight through the fortress of solitudes walls, plowing through Black Adam and the Flash in the process. Black Adam and Flash are surprisingly unfazed and rush towards the intruder, "Who the hell are you?" the Flash asks as he and Black Adam prepare to take on the short mysterious individual staring at them.

The short man smirked, "I am Vegeta, and I'm here to end you and your ilk for praying on the innocent, for the crimes of you especially. I'm quite lucky that I found my new found target this early" Vegeta suddenly frowned and turned his attention solely on Black Adam, "Batman has told us what you have done to innocent men, women, and children… I will for once hold nothing back!" with a mighty yell Vegetas hair arched up ever so slightly and his dark eyes and hair changed instantly to a dark blue color, "To hell with the plan!" Vegeta with speeds that put the flash to shame ran his fist straight through the sorcerers chest with blood gushing everywhere after the impact. "Now you will experience the pain you have laid upon mere Children!" The Flash, who was caught off guard by this new enemy's speed tried to save his ally who was already near deaths door with a punch, the fastest and strongest punch he could muster, only to have it caught by the Saiyan princes spare hand. "You'll get your turn later" the prince said angrily as he backhanded the fastest human alive through several sets of walls. Vegeta turned back his attention to the barely conscious Black Adam, "Now, where were we?"

Above the fortress of solitude, a battle of epic proportions shook the sky and the land, Goku in his Super Sayian two form fought Superman in a near stalemate, but for some reason Superman kept slowly getting stronger and stronger. The sun was out, but from what Batman explained to them it shouldn't be like this, Goku was slowly getting overwhelmed as he blocked and parried as many punches as he could, dodging a right hook from Superman and slamming his fist into the Kryptonians stomach, the power gap had now tipped in the favor of Superman, with the martial arts skills of Goku being his only saving grace. The man of steel slammed his fist into the Saiyans face and kept punching him repeatedly until Goku was able to kick the Kryptonian away with all of his might. The man of steel suddenly stopped his offensive and shook his head, "You are powerful, it would be a waste for me to kill you when you can join me and help me shape this world. You don't have to stand against me, you can be at my side. Besides, you're losing as it is."

Goku smirked, "Sorry, but I will not join someone who hurts others without remorse, I still have yet to really try. While this is fun I cannot allow you to continue to rule the Earth like this, I'll show you what I really can do." Goku flexed his muscles and let out a massive scream heard throughout the globe as his body exploded with blue light, his once green eyes and yellow hair had been replaced with a blue hue. The once smiling face of the Saiyan replaced with a look of stoic determination, "Now we'll see who comes out on top." Goku immediately rushed towards the Kryptonian with one goal in mind, ending his tyranny.
