AN: This is going to be an Ultraman Tiga crossover with Justice League. But I grew up with the English dubbed version of Ultraman Tiga; so that's what I'm going to use. So his Ultra modes are going to be called Omni, Power and Speed. And instead of calling it the Spark Lens; it's going to be called the Torch of Tiga. And some of the attacks are going to be based on the English dubbed version as well; go to YouTube and type in Ultra modes tiga, that should help explain why I called the attacks what I did. Also, I'm not going to say who I'm going to make Ultraman, you're going to have to read it to find that one out.

Millions of years ago, the earth was protected by an ancient race of giant guardians. They were beings infused with pure light energy. They came from a distant and unknown planet; they were given many names by the people of earth, but the one name that they would be commonly known as was Ultramen. And the bravest and most powerful of the Ultras, was the incredible Tiga. There was once a war between the good and the dark Ultras, and Tiga was one of the strongest dark Ultras that ever existed. But one day, he witnessed the boundless strength of the human spirit; and it was then that he understood the value of protecting humanity. He turned on his dark brethren in favor of the humans, and then he proceeded to vanquish the dark Ultras, one by one. Soon more threats started to emerge, but none of them were a match for Tiga. Eventually the danger had passed, and it was time for Tiga to rest.

He and a few of his comrades, sealed themselves in a pyramid of light, and waited as their bodies slowly turned to stone. As the centuries went by, the legend of the Ultras soon gave way to myth, and then soon a non-existent story. Eventually everyone forgot about the Ultras, as the rise of the superheroes began. But before Tiga was put to rest; he made a vow that should the earth or it's people ever become threatened again, that he would be there to save them. So he waited, until the day when someone worthy would inherit his powers.

When the age of the superheroes started, there were many extraordinary people. Most notably, were the cases of Superman and Batman. Superman was the soul survivor of the destroyed planet of Krypton; his parents had sent him to earth when he was a baby to survive their planet's coming apocalypse. He was then found and adopted by a kindly couple in Smallville, Kansas; he grew up as the son of a farmer and his wife. But when he discovered who he really was, and the powers that the Earth's yellow sun gave him; he decided to use his newfound abilities to help the people of earth. As for Batman, he was eight years old when he saw his parents get murdered in an alleyway. And he swore that he would never let that happen to anyone else; so he trained for years in the art of detective skills and marshal arts, he also achieved peaked physical and mental human condition. Now he roams the streets of Gotham; using the gadgets he built with his vast fortune to strike fear in the hearts of criminals. To that extent, he also dressed as a bat to add a theatrical flare.

Soon they were joined by other heroes, who would then go on to become the Justice League. They would go on to inspire other heroes, and as a result, the League would get much bigger. Hundreds of heroes, all keeping an eye on earth from their space station, which they took to calling the Watchtower. Their mission was to protect the earth from all manner of threats; weather they be from criminals, magical forces or extraterrestrials. But even they couldn't foresee the coming dangers that the earth would soon face. And thus the time of the Ultras would begin again.

Metropolis

A man with red hair, blue eyes and a freckled face; was walking down the street of Metropolis. He wore a brown jacket with a green shirt, blue jeans and black shoes. His name was Jimmy Olsen, photographer for the Daily Planet. Accompanying him was a woman with brunette hair with a hair clip to the side; she wore glasses, a yellow t-shirt, a purple skirt and brown shoes. Her name was Sarah, food critic for the Daily Planet; and on a side note, Jimmy's girlfriend. At first he thought that she was a geek with glasses; but after he got beat up by the would be girl of his dreams, Sarah came to visit him in the hospital with a bag of cheeseburgers and chilly fries. It was then that he realized that Lois was right, beauty wasn't skin deep. When he got past the glasses, he noticed that Sarah was a very attractive person; and she also happened to be a rather kind soul. And they've been dating for a while now.

It was early in the afternoon and Sarah wanted to do something fun with Jimmy, hence the reason they were walking down the street. "I mean come on Sarah, do you really want to spend the rest of our date going to some flea market?" Jimmy asked. "Yes, I saw the add in the paper, and this place is supposed to have some really nice stuff. Jimmy, I'd be happy no matter what I do, as long as I'm with you, I just thought that this would be something different to do. It might be fun to go together, I might even find something nice for you, PLEASE!" she begged. "You know it's pretty much impossible to say no to you, right?" Jimmy said with a sigh and a half a joke. "Thank you Jimmy, you're the best" she said while placing a kiss on his cheek.

When they made their way inside the building where the flea market was held, Sarah was amazed at all the stands that were set up. Each stand had different items at them that more than likely had a unique story behind them. At one of the stands sat a white haired lady; she wore a white shirt, a tan vest, gray sweat pants and brown sandals. The lady noticed that one box in particular at her stand started to glow. She looked at the box and opened it, knowing full well what that meant. "Could it be, he's here" she said as she took the object out of the box. "But where could he be?" she said as she held the object in her hand. As she moved the object around the room, the light glowed brighter and brighter; until finally she set her sights on Jimmy and Sarah, where it glowed the brightest. "He's the one, I'm sure of it" the lady said.

As Sarah made her way around all the stands, she eventually came to the one that the lady was minding. Luckily to avoid suspicion, the glow seemed to die down by the time Sarah reached her. "Are you perhaps looking for something for your boyfriend? I don't mean to pry, I just saw you two cozying up to one another that I just assumed that you two were together." "Uh, well you assumed right; he is my boyfriend and I am looking for something nice to get him" Sarah responded. "Well in that case, I've got just the thing for you" she said as she held out what looked to be some sort of small relic made out of stone. "This is the Torch of Tiga, it's an ancient relic of great power." "I can't take that, because if that's an ancient relic like you say, then it belongs in a museum. It'd be too valuable for me to take" Sarah said. "It would do no good for this relic to be in a museum, surrounded by people who would not appreciate it. My greatest hope is that it goes to someone who will respect it. It is said that it brings good luck to whoever possesses it, if you give this to your boyfriend, it will keep him safe."

While Sarah thought about it, Jimmy has been getting into a lot of trouble lately; and more often than not, Superman has had to save him on more than one occasion. Maybe if she got this for Jimmy, he wouldn't always need Superman to save him. "Well, how much do you want for it?" Sarah inquired. "How much do you have? Bear in mind, you can't put a price on destiny." "How's ten dollars sound?" Sarah murmured. "SOLD!" the lady replied in excitement. After the transaction was made, Sarah ran over to Jimmy to give him his gift. "Jimmy, look what I got for you" she said as she handed him the Torch. It was stone gray with dark red lines running down the sides of the top. "Ok, what is it?" he asked. "It's the Torch of Tiga. I got it from that nice lady who runs the stand right over-" she said but was unable to finish as the woman and everything at the stand had vanished. "Huh, where'd she go; I know she was there a moment ago. Anyway, this is an ancient relic that's supposed to grant its owner good luck; she told me that it would keep you safe" she said as she looked back at her boyfriend.

Jimmy didn't know what to say to that; on the one hand it looked like a hunk of stone to him, but on the other, he was touched that his girlfriend thought of him in such a way. "Um, thanks, I love it. I'll keep it with me always" he said just before they embraced in an affectionate kiss. Jimmy didn't know it at the moment, but after he accepted the Torch, his life would never be the same ever again. By taking the Torch, he had accepted a responsibility, the likes of which the world has not seen for thirty million years. Now he was the only thing standing between the earth and the coming darkness.

A few hours after his date with Sarah; Jimmy could be found resting in his apartment. Then suddenly he was awoken by the sight of a bright light. As he focused his eyes, he noticed that the light was coming from his nightstand, and was being emitted by the gift his girlfriend gave him. Then after he got up from his bed to pick it up, he heard a voice. "You are the one, the one it's been waiting for." He turned to the sound of the voice, only to see a strange woman who was now in his apartment. "Who are you and how did you get in here?" Jimmy demanded to know. "I am the one who sold that object that you hold in your hand to your girlfriend. And as for how I got in here, I can do many things" she said. "Well, what do you want?" he asked. "Only to help" she claimed. "With what?" Jimmy inquired. "With the protection of our world" she stated.

"Your girlfriend probably already told you about that object being called the Torch of Tiga. But what she couldn't of told you is that it is a relic of great power. Many centuries ago, the earth was attacked by a plague of darkness, and monsters the likes of which you could not possibly imagine. Many heroes fought in Earth's defense, but out of all of them, the strongest one was the one they called Tiga. He was an Ultraman; and it was thanks to his strength, that the forces of good were able to turn the tide against the darkness. And when the danger was passed, he rested; until the day he would be needed again. Now the darkness has returned, and there must be someone to stop it. That torch is the key to Tiga's power, and it has chosen you. You and you alone will have the power to save this world. You will be transformed into a great hero, you will become Ultraman."

She then went on to explain in detail, the history of the Ultras and Tiga. From how Tiga betrayed the dark Ultras in favor of the humans; to when the ancient race of humans vowed to keep watch over him, and await his return. She also told him of how she was a descendent of the ancient race of humans; and she was here to ensure that Tiga returned. "I'm not saying that I believe you, I mean I got this thing from a flea market for crying out loud" Jimmy said. "Hey, even us guardians need to eat, you know" she said. "Whatever, my point is that I'm no hero, I'm the guy who helps heroes. So I'm sorry, but you've got the wrong guy." "You really think that you walking into that flea market was an accident, no, it was fate. The world needs Ultraman; and if you still doubt that, then behold" she said as she held out her hand.

From her extended hand, an image of a far away land started to materialize. "How'd you do that?" Jimmy questioned. "Tiga taught us many things, this is just one of the many things that I can do. This is the land of Chong-Mai, and it's people are in danger, but you can save them." "Chong-Mai, that's in Asia right; I've heard about it, it's illegal for any U.S citizen to travel there. So I couldn't help even if I wanted to, besides, what could they possibly need my help with?" Not long after he said that, he saw a giant red and black robot with a flaming skull, burn everything with fire. "Ok, yes that's bad; but the world has other heroes, like the Justice League, so those people don't need me." "Oh, do you mean this Justice League?" she said as images of the Justice League trying to fight back appeared. There was a black bald man with a goatee, he wore a black and green outfit, his name was Green Lantern. There was a young blond woman who wore a red cape, red boots, white gloves, a blue skirt and a white t-shirt with the Superman logo on it, she was Supergirl. A man with red gloves and boots, and a silver containment suit with the atomic symbol on it; he was Captain Atom. And finally, there was a blond man with a beard, who dressed like Robin hood with a bow and arrow to boot; he was Green Arrow.

Each image he saw, showed them getting hammered, even Supergirl was no match for the robot. "Just because you don't have any faith in yourself, doesn't mean that no one else will. So the question's not if you can be a hero, but will you be a hero?" the lady asked. Jimmy couldn't believe what he was seeing, the Justice League were losing; and he knew that if something wasn't done quickly, then the people there could die. He closed his eyes and clenched the Torch tightly in his hand and said "What do I have to do?" before he opened his eyes again. "Follow me and I'll show you" she said as she opened up a portal and stepped through. Jimmy was a bit hesitate, but he eventually followed her through the portal.

Unknown location

After Jimmy walked through the portal, he saw three giant stone statues, but the light was so bright that he could barely keep his eyes open. "Where are we?" he asked. "This is the Pyramid of Light, and these are the Ultras" she said as she motioned to the three statues. "Tiga is among them, and you must wake him up, so choose wisely" she said. "How am I supposed to know which one's him?" "You'll know, just trust yourself" the lady said. As Jimmy walked up to the steps of the platform of which the statues stood; he could feel this power pulling him towards the middle statue.

He couldn't explain it, but somehow he just knew that this was the right statue. "This is him isn't it, this is Tiga?" Jimmy asked. "Well done" was the woman's only reply as she nodded her head in confirmation. Then the Torch that Jimmy held, started to glow and change. The stony gray was replaced with a smooth white, and the red lines were replaced with gold. After it changed, Jimmy gave it a light squeeze; but that's all it took to activate it. The top part of the Torch opened up revealing a lens that lit up with an intense glow; then without warning, Jimmy was flying through the air and sucked right into the chest of the statue. Then in a blinding flash of light, Jimmy and the statue were gone. Then the lady smiled knowing that the earth had its guardian back.

Chong-Mai, Asia

The Justice League was having trouble with the giant robot, but still they continued to fight on. Apparently the Chinese built the robot to protect them from foreigners, but they lost control of it. Since the robot was nuclear powered, the League was given carbon damper rods to stop it. All they had to do was place one of the rods in its chest to stop it; but it was too hot to get close to, so it was easier said than done. Green Lantern, Captain Atom and Supergirl had been taken down; which left Green Arrow to get one of the rods in its chest. He shot rod after rod, until he had only one left. He knew that if he missed this last shot, that it would be all over; so he was kinda praying for a miracle.

His prayers were soon answered in the form of a bright light that formed in the sky. "HYA!" could be heard as a giant appeared out of the light to kick the robot in the chest, forcing it back. Part of the giant's body was gray, including his hands and feet; he had a silver head with a crystal in the middle of his forehead and somewhat pointy ears. His eyes were in the shape of horizontal ovals, he had a blue light in the center of his chest that was attached to a gold and silver band that went from his upper torso to his upper back. The rest of his body was both blue and red, which gave him equal parts strength and Speed. This mode was called Omni mode, because of its combination of Power and Speed.

For some reason when Jimmy appeared as Ultraman, it felt like he just instantly knew what to do. He was Ultraman now and he was going to stop this monster. When Green Arrow saw Ultraman fighting the robot, he didn't know what to think. He didn't know who he was, where he came from, and most importantly, whose side he was on. But one thing was for sure, if he was fighting the robot, then he couldn't be all bad. Just then Supergirl flew up next to Green Arrow and said "Ok, who's this guy?" "I don't know, but he sure picked a good time to show up" Green Arrow said. Ultraman continued to fight the robot, he threw punch after punch with great success. But then the robot blasted him right in the chest, sending him to the ground. When he got up, he realized that he needed more strength to beat the robot and to resist its fire blasts. So he raised his hands to the crystal on his head and then lowered them really quickly; in a flash of light, all the blue on his body disappeared, leaving him with only red. This mode optimizes his strength, so it was called Power mode. Now every time he punched the robot, there was more power packed behind it. As he wrestled with the robot, the blue light on his chest started flashing red; and he knew that meant that he was running out of time.

When Green Arrow came to his senses, he realized that he still had one last rod that he could fire. "HEY BUDDY!" he shouted and waved the rod, in an attempt to get the big guy to give an assist. Ultraman got what Green Arrow was trying to tell him, and gave a nod to show that he understood him. He grabbed the robot and held him still, so that Green Arrow could line up the shot. Then Green Arrow took the shot, hitting it right in its core. When the robot fell motionless due to a lack of power, Ultraman used all his might to throw it straight into the sky. Once he was sure that it was high enough, he brought his arms up to his head and then back to his sides; he then proceeded to raise his hands in the air to gather energy into a sphere. He settled the sphere next to his chest; he then fired the sphere with his right hand while he closed his left hand into a fist and brought it to his side. This attack was called the Spirus Sphere.

When the blast hit the robot, the explosion that followed could be seen for miles. Ultraman then turned to Green Arrow and gave him the thumbs up sign, before shooting off into the sky and flying away. "You want me to fly after him and get some answers?" Supergirl asked. "No, let him go; whoever he is, I don't think he's our enemy" Green Arrow responded.

Watchtower

Some of the heroes who went on the mission to Chong-Mai, were in pretty bad shape. Captain Atom was trying to recover from having all of his energy sucked out, and Green Lantern had a few broken bones; but luckily the other two that went had been more fortunate. Green Lantern just finished scolding Supergirl on her reckless behavior; but at the moment, he was more concerned about their mysterious savior. "So you're saying that some giant showed up, helped you defeat the robot, and then just flew away?" Green Lantern asked. "I know it sounds weird, but that's what happened" she said. "In this line of work, you learn to accept the weird; but at least if he's fighting bad guys, then that means that he's not a supervillain. But I still think that it would be a good idea to keep an eye out for him. Who knows, maybe we might even send someone to recruit him" he said right before turning to leave.

Metropolis

When Jimmy got home, he could not believe what he had just done. He fought a robot and won, he was a superhero. But the one thing that he didn't expect when he got home, was to find that same strange lady waiting for him. "I hope that you can now see the seriousness of the situation; there will be many dangers that you will have to face from this point forward. And what you fought today was just a creation of the human race; just wait until you see what you'll have to fight in the future" she said.

"Ok, I have so many questions right now. But first I just got to say that, that was pretty awesome. I mean I destroyed a giant robot, and then I actually flew all the way back home, all on my own too. But I just gotta know, why'd you choose me; out of all of the entire people on earth, why did you choose me to be Ultraman?" "Because it had to be you. I'm afraid there's something that I neglected to tell you in all of the excitement; you see, the Torch would only work for someone that is one of Tiga's descendents or Tiga himself. If one of his descendents were to use the Torch, they would still be able to transform; but they wouldn't be able to use his power to the fullest, but you can. And I know this is going to be a lot to take in but, what that means is that you are Tiga reincarnated."

"So in short, you are Ultraman, and no one other than me knows your secret. And that's how it must remain; because if the forces of darkness were to ever learn who you are, then it would be disastrous for both you and the people that you love. And one more thing; I'll be checking in every now and then, so don't do anything foolish like using your powers for stupid reasons. And remember, always keep the Torch with you at all times." After she said her peace, she opened up a portal and prepared to leave. "See ya" she said before she stepped through the portal and then vanished.

When she was gone, it was then that Jimmy realized the gravity of the situation. Everything she just said was a lot to take in, and he wasn't quite sure how to process it all. "Wow, that was really heavy. Ah well, I'll deal with it tomorrow; for now I just want to pass out and go to sleep" he said with a yawn. So he walked over to his bed and lied down, before he set the Torch on the nightstand. He knew that he had a lot to sort out, but he also knew that tomorrow was another day. And with that he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

AN: First off, I don't own Ultraman Tiga or the picture I used for the cover. I tried to ask for permission to use the picture from a person who posted the original, but I couldn't get in contact with them. So if whoever runs the site wants me to take it down, then I will; but please don't sue. Also, I found out later on that Ultraman Tiga's host was a reincarnation of him; so I just decided to get it out of the way now. I also found out that any one of his descendents could use the Torch, but only Tiga or his reincarnation could use it without difficulty; so I put that in there to stay somewhat factual. I almost forgot to tell you, I used the girl from Superman Brainiac attacks as Jimmy's girlfriend; I just thought that they would make a really cute couple. STAY AWESOME!
