Disclaimer: I do not own DC or any of its characters( even though that would be frikn' awesome). I am only using them to write a fictional story, nothing more. Well now that that's out of the way, on with the story!

Chapter 1: The Agreement

Izayoi slowly opened his eyes, waking from his night-long slumber. He let out a loud yawn as he shifted his body out of his bed and onto the cold metallic floor. He lifted up his head, looking around at the room that he had awoken to. It was the same one that he had become use to seeing over the past 3 years. The walls were made of a dark, almost black, metal that smelled slightly like iron; even though he was sure it probably wasn't any common form of metal. "Well, that was a good nap," he said, stretching his arms and legs, "although I'm kind of sad that it's over, I was having a really nice dream about cake." He then raised his head and studied his room.

The room was bleak and empty with little to no other furniture decorating it, but this had never seemed to bother Izayoi. His bed was situated into the far left corner of the room, facing the entrance. To the right of the bed was a giant window, or more like large hole that had been carved into the metal. Izayoi walked away from his bed and stepped toward the 'window', scanning the landscape and the complementary horizon. The sky was black, but plumes of red smoke almost seemed to block it out entirely. Vibrant red flames danced from within circular pits made completely of metal.

"Wow," Izayoi said with a half-smile, "Apokolips has seen better days." He continued to stare out of the window, examining the view as if it was some kind of painting. A few minutes later, he began to get dressed and headed out the door. 'Shit. I might actually be late this time," Izayoi thought as he zoomed through a massive corridor, ' Even though it doesn't really matter. He'll probably just yell at me like last time or call me a 'fool' like he always does. Jeez, what are the points of these meetings anyway? It's not like they've ever been important to me anyways. Hell, the only reason i'm even here is to get stronger…..and to finally beat HIM. The only person who has ever offered me a challenge was HIM. Darkseid.'

*Flashback*

He didn't really know exactly what happened ,or how he got there, but one day it just happened - he was teleported to another universe.

Izayoi Sakamaki, a blonde 15 year old high school student, was quietly walking down a road until he spotted something bright off in the distance. He looked up and saw a strange white vortex appear directly in front of him. The blonde teen stared at the phenomenon in wonder and watched as horde of winged beasts emerged from within it. The beasts growled and screeched as they headed toward Izayoi, who simply raised his right arm and struck the one closest to him. The Monster went flying back, colliding with many of the other creatures.

"Is that all you've got?" Izayoi asked calmly as the remaining beasts continued their onward attack. Izayoi swiftly disappeared and reappeared behind the group of monsters, reeling his fist back, prepared to deliver a massive attack. His fist launched forward, connecting with one of the monsters and generating a shock wave that obliterated the remaining enemies.

The road was silent again, and Izayoi examined the various bodies and blood-covered organs that stained the sidewalk. He sighed and continued down the road; however, he stopped as soon as he saw something else emerge from the vortex. Izayoi's eyebrows slightly raised as he watched a large man exit the portal. The man was extremely tall, about 9ft in height, and his body was insanely muscular. His skin was grey and seemed to have a rock-like texture to it. Furthermore, the man's eyes were red and glowing, generating a sense of unease within Izayoi.

"So….i'm guessing you're their boss," Izayoi finally said as he gestured to the bodies of the slaughtered creatures behind him. The man said nothing, and he began to walk forward, his eyes set on Izayoi. The blonde boy stood his ground as he glared back at the rock giant. The large man finally stopped a few yards in front of Izayoi before he began to speak. His voice was deep and rough. "What is your name?" The man said, looking down at the boy. Izayoi let out a chuckle, "Izayoi Sakamaki. And yours?" Izayoi looked up at the man with an unwavering face. "I am," the man said as his eyes began to glow even more, "the being who shall exterminate you."

With that being said, a beam of red energy escaped the rock man's eyes and headed toward Izayoi, darting in seemingly random directions. The beams were too sporadic to avoid, so Izayoi decided that he needed to block them. He quickly raised his hands above his head, expecting the attack, but it never hit. Instead, he felt a surge of heat and pain connect with his back as he stumbled forward. "Owww. What the hell was that?" Izayoi scratched his back, trying to comfort the pain; although in all honesty - it didn't really hurt that bad.

The rock-like man cocked his head to the side in a seemingly confused manner. "Interesting," the man mumbled to himself as he shot forth another set of his eye beams. Izayoi looked up just in time to see the lasers headed for him in the same previously random style. The boy stood up and darted to the right, narrowly avoiding the attack. The man continued to send a barrage of these attacks at Izayoi who began to dodge them more and more easily. Finally, Izayoi decided to attack. He pushed off from the ground, leaving behind a large crater, and darted toward the rock man. He jumped up and smashed his fist into the side of the man's jaw, producing a conclusive blast that possibly echoed for miles. The man stepped back slightly and let out a grunt.

"How dare you," the man said before delivering a powerful kick to Izayoi's ribs, sending him sliding into a nearby building. "Well, well, well. You're really strong," Izayoi said as he emerged from the rubble that was created, "it looks like this might actually be fun." The man snorted at the blonde and sent forth another wave of red beams. Izayoi laughed and dodged them both quite easily, despite their seemingly random movements. "Those won't work on me anymore, dude," Izayoi confidently boasted as he neared the rock man's figure. "How are you suddenly able to dodge my Omega beams?" The man asked in a voice that was more curious than angry.

"'Omega Beams', huh? That's what those are called? Gotta admit, that's a badass name. Well, if you really want to know, i'll tell you. I analyzed their pattern." The rock man's eyes widened. "Impossible. You were only given a few looks at my attack. How is it that you were able to fully analyze it?" A small smile crept onto Izayoi's face, "Well the answer is simple…..I'm a genius." Suddenly, Izayoi disappeared and then reappeared about to punch the man directly in the face; however, the man was quicker than he looked and was able to block the attack.

Izayoi sent his other hand sailing to meet the rock man's face, but just nearly grazed the cheek. With speed that didn't seem possible for a man his size, the rock giant quickly grabbed Izayoi's head and smashed it into the ground, creating massive cracks in the concrete. "Fascinating. You are more powerful than many of the beings I have fought in a while; however, you are untrained. I sense great potential within you." Izayoi finally escaped the man's grip and jumped back, widening the distance between the two.

"Thanks," Izayoi said with a smile on his face, "you're not half bad either." The man ignored the teen's comment and continued to talk, "I have a proposition for you - join me ,and together, we will rule the universe!" Izayoi stared at the man for a few seconds before bursting out laughing, "HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahha..haha….ha...hahaha...haaaaa. That was such a cliche thing to say! What are you, a mad scientist or something?" Izayoi wiped a tear from his after he had calmed down a bit, "That's a great offer and everything, but to be perfectly honest with you: I don't really care about 'ruling the universe' or whatever. It sounds boring. The only thing I want to do is get stronger and fight people who will offer a challenge."

The rock man looked at Izayoi with a blank expression, "I see. It is only natural for powerful beings to seek out other powerful beings. It is the law if the universe. If it is a challenge you want, then joining me would be in your best interest. During my quest to conquer the universe, I have encountered a plethora of powerful beings, many of which my test your skills. Furthermore, I can train you to become stronger, as well as teach you powers you never imagined you could possess. So, I ask you again: Will you join me?"

Izayoi stayed silent after listening to the man's speech, weighing the pros and cons of taking the offer. After much internal deliberation, he finally decided to accept. "Alright, fine. I accept. Sounds like just what I need." The rock man nodded before turning back to the vortex and beckoning Izayoi to follow. Izayoi shrugged and followed the man into the portal, examining the rock man's face. "Hey, by the way," he began as the man looked down at him,"do you have a name or something?"

In a gruff voice, the man replied, "On my planet, my followers call me - Darkseid."

"Wow, cool name. Edgy," Izayoi said as he placed his hands in his pockets and stepped into portal.

*End of flashback*

It had been nearly 2 years since that day, and 17 year old Izayoi had gotten use to his surroundings. In fact, he came to regard it as a second home (almost). It was here that he was taught by Darkseid how to manipulate the magnetic field of nearby objects using his own energy - telekinesis, if you will.(although a much weaker version of Darkseid's) It was here that he trained everyday to increase his strength, speed, and stamina.

Izayoi sighed, remembering how intense the training was. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even realize he had come upon a large door. "Oh, I'm here!" Izayoi said in an almost gleeful manner as he pushed the massive doors aside. He walked into a large room and looked around. Ahead of him were a large set of stairs that led up to a throne-like chair. In the chair, Darkseid sat, glaring dangers at Izayoi. "You're late," his voice boomed as Izayoi nonchalantly strolled further into the room. "Yeah, sorry about that," Izayoi said as he rubbed the back of his neck, "I overslept."

"How dare you keep the grand and noble Darkseid waiting, you pathetic worm!," yelled a shrill voice. That voice didn't belong to Darkseid. It was then that Izayoi noticed that there were other people in the room too. He looked around at the faces that stared at him. He was only able to recognize a few of them. Among them, he realized that Kalibak had his eyes set on the teen. During his first month in Apokolips, Izayoi found out that Kalibak is actually Darkseid's son as well as the fact that Kalibak hated Izayoi's guts.

Izayoi grinned at the bearded demon and continued to scan the room. Soon enough, his eyes rested on a few members of the Female Furries - Lashina, Mad Harriet, and Stompa. He remembered them quite fondly, having been trained alongside them, although they were much older than he was. "What do you have to say for yourself you little punk?" Izayoi groaned once he finally saw who was behind the insults. "Granny Goodness…..." he mumbled as he rolled his eyes, "Is this suppose to be revenge for the time that I put a grenade in the toilet?"

Once Izayoi started talking, a short, white-haired, and very old woman suddenly walked out. "No, this has nothing to do with me. This has to do with YOU keeping our lord waiting!"

Izayoi simply shrugged, "What can I say? I was late." Granny Goodness simply glared daggers at Izayoi as he looked up at Darkseid. "So, why did you want me to attend this meeting so badly?" Izayoi asked with a somewhat serious tone. Darkseid simply leaned back in his throne chair, keeping his eyes on Izayoi. "I called you here today because I am assigning you to my elite group of warriors."

Izayoi looked skeptically at the Lord of Apokolips, "why me?" He finally said. "Because you have proven, time and time again, that you are indeed the strongest amongst my army," replied Darkseid. "Very soon, we shall be leaving to conquer a planet, and I want you to accompany my forces." Izayoi gave the rock man a boarded expression, "but i've helped you conquer many other planets before. Why is this one different?"

"Because on this planet, there exist powerful beings that have stopped me many times from ruling their world. They have been a thorn in my side for too long, but today they shall fall," explained Darkseid. Izayoi stroked his chin in thought, "So the beings on this planet were powerful enough to stop even you? Sounds fun. When do we start and what is the planet's name?"

A wicked scowl appeared on Darkseid's face, "We leave immediately, and the name of the planet is….."

"...Earth."

Author's Note: Hey guys, how's it going. I literally just thought of this story just a few hours before I started typing it so I don't even know where it's going to go. But rest assured, I will eventually have Izayoi join the Justice League (or Young Justice - I haven't really decided). If you have any suggestions for the story, please comment and I will read them. Thanks and Peace! :)
