Cadmus on life support Batmans warning

"How are you alive? I shot you in the head!" exclaimed General Lane while aiming his gun again at the samurais head.

I then throw a senbon into the gun's barrel ,to jam it. Then shuriken was thrown at the General's wrist holding said gun, when the man brought the gun away from aiming it at the red samurai. Crying out in pain, General Sam Lane managed to drop his gun on the table without it going off, and preventing the risk of a ricochet from the result hitting him in the process.

"As you can see, I'm more then just a handsome man. My body is quite durable that would be almost comparable with superman ,but without the weaknesses. Not just that but let me tell you a secret, I can live in the shadows." said Madara phasing into the shadows under the table. Then one of him ,apeared out of everyone's shadows behind them!!

'His power allowed him to warp the area around him. Like the Martian. Also he can become one with the shadows, no wonder he is able to toy with the league of Assassins. Also these clones are made of the shadows, can they hurt us? Is he human, but have the ability? Could it be duplicated?' thought Lex while believing with such an ability mastered under his command, he could actually kill Superman, and the other members of the Justice League. They all turn around to their respective Madara.

"Now, the reason why I came here, aside from messing with you, is to put you all on haitus." added Madara while the four Cadmus members in the room, disliked being talked to like that.

"On haitus? That sounds like a threat to me, as you know we wont do so willingly." countered Amanda while she hit the alarm underneath her table.

"Threat? No if I don't do such things, I do it or I don't. If I did you would be all dead without any notice.If I wanted to I could, make you not want to live unless you're complying. THIS Amanda Waller is me being nice. Oh and in case you are wondering why, no one is coming in here to save you from me possibly killing you. The alarms are temporarily disabled, and the men are all dead, and I must say you choose delicious souls for guards." replied the Madara while the idiot people around him, finally

understood who they were dealing with.

This was someone who took his profession of not only killing people, but being in control of other people surrounding him very seriously. He didn't let others with their supposedly superior strong minds, bodies, or anything else in terms of power intimidate him. This man in front of them was a master manipulator. He made sure that when the time came, to show his own hand to others at the card game...he always had the winning hand.

Aside from General Lane, no one had been armed at this meeting. And even now, the man was trying to keep himself from bleeding to death, from his injury with his gun having become completely useless. So anyone plans of thinking of using it against the man was useless.

"What do you want from us?" asked Amanda knowing this man held all the cards, had all the power, and had all of them at his mercy.

"Nothing much. I want you to back off in hunting me. Don't bother looking for Galatea after this. I killed her, Unfortunately she didnt have a tasty soul. Before you ask, yes I do have the power to kill Galatea. It helps when they have a well known weakness. I think clones if used for evil purposes, and programmed to be like that is evil. So i felt it was the right thing, to do. Don't like it? To bad, soo sad! Next, no more cloning, or experimenting with alien DNA for your own sick purposes.Just so you know, I took care of your little apocalypse spiky monster. I even woke him up, but he didnt fight for to long in the desert ;I took him too. He was too weak, only took one slash of my blade. I didnt forget the the data research, material along with it." said Madara with Dr. Hamilton going pale in the face, since Project Doomsday was in its infancy. Also it was meant to one day combat Superman, in an all out fight.

The ultimate deterrent against ,the Man of Steel was now lost.

"Fine. What else?" asked Waller while seeing General Lane looking at her in horror, over the fact she was giving into him.

"Second, you leave the Justice League alone. No hiring criminals, mercenaries, assassins, psychopaths, meta-humans, and certainly none of your 'suicide squads' either. As far as I am concerned, Cadmus is on life-support, and I can pull the plug on you anytime I see fit." said the demon-like samurai with Amanda frowning and part of her wanted to protest, like the others wanted to right now.

"Now before there is schemes and possible retaliation, we both know how r***sts are treated in prison. Look at what I recorded, now before you say it's fake; we can prove it. Parallel earths like this one, makes it easily possible, also I have the video of your orgey in a meeting. Isnt there a thing called work ethics, disgusting people I say." I show the two videos side by side, on my holophone ;so they seem physical manifestations. They were shocked and disgusted by this, I even "had them" supposedly make child cells for preists. It was all fake but if you put it ,under even advanced tech it would say real.

Only to be silence before they could even speak when ,I pulled out his scythe from behind my back. It was, also excreating a black aura around it. The move was sending a message to these people, loud and clear about what the alternative was.

"And the third condition? There is always a third condition." questioned Luthor gritting his teeth as he knew with this it was over. He even had blackmail of "them" r**ing ,various important figures children, including the league of assassins. "Here is a copy, as I'm sure you want to see if its real." I then let the chuckle he let out ,this time become darker.

"My third condition? Oh that's an easy one. I want the soul and life of one member here, among Cadmus's High Council Committee members in this room." answered Madars with all of them going tense.

"You can't be serious?!" protested Dr. Hamilton while Amanda frowned, General Lane grit his teeth, and Luthor looked at him with calculating eyes that glanced at the exit from time to time.He seen the shadows move there and frowned but knew he was too important.

"Deadly serious.I'm hungry! BUT, to show I am not entirely without mercy, I will let you all choose, who among this group of ambitious morons; gets to die for the whole collective. Who here is willing to prove their undying loyalty to Cadmus and give their life. Which three here are willing to sell out, the fourth person in their group. That they all believe is expendable, above all others? I for one can guess, and I must say my tastebuds are tingling. " questioned Madara while he looked at each member of Cadmus here ,and waited for three of them to sell out member number four.

Amanda Waller was gritting her teeth hard.This will undermine their trust in each other, causing damage that may be irreversible. While the other members of Cadmus in this room, looked at each other, she didn't. Amanda was by far the sharpest mind, of all the members of Cadmus's High Council Committee. She had made it her business to be smarter then everyone around here ,and everywhere else. All in the off chance those who worked with or under her here at Cadmus, plotted some kind of coup against the woman for the seat of power she possessed.

Already she knew her position was secure. She knew too much, seen too much, and was a woman with considerable influence in various branches of the United States government.

Both the real ones few knew about and the ones off the books ,were even fewer people knew even remotely existed.

General Lane was not expendable. Though normally with his temper and injured state, would make him be considered an sacrifice. That would happen if it wasn't due the fact everyone ,else here was considered lower on the hierarchy totem pole. The man was a four star General, and had many military contacts within the government like herself. But his desire to start a war with the Justice League early, caused friction to arise between them at times. He believed military muscle and recruiting or forcing anyone, with powers to his side was the way to win.

Next, she glanced at Lex Luthor with a sigh as he would be the sacrifice; that she wish she could afford to offer. But if Luthor died, Cadmus would be crippled further from their main source of income ,being cut off with their other private backers, which Luthor got involved. They would abandon them ,after they declared Cadmus as a lost cause.

And finally, Dr. Hamilton himself. Former friend and ally of Superman. He was also the key scientist and geneticist for Cadmus, who made Galatea, and was working on the top secret military weapon codenamed Project: Doomsday. Whom are either dead or out of commissions, if what he said is true. Amanda got a gut feeling that if Dr. Hamilton, were to try in making another Galatea or Doomsday. Their new life-support ,would pull their plug and kill them all.

And Madara made it clear he hated him the most. Even implying that he would be their choice, and he was right. Dammit ,hes too good! There was no choice to begin with.

"Dr. Hamilton." said Amanda Waller coldly out of the blue ,while seeing everyone look at her.

"W-What?! Why me?" questioned Dr. Hamilton while he gawked at the woman, who so callously spoke his name, and essentially offered up his soul over the others.

"Because you are expendable. While a great scientist, you are not the only one in the world now. Cadmus can replace you." said Amanda heartlessly while the other two in the room glanced at her, before looking at Dr. Hamilton and nodded that they agreed with the decision too.

"Your talents can be replaced Dr. Hamilton. As such, you are the most expendable." said General Lane with some effort to block out the pain.

"I agree. I know half a dozen scientists in my company alone ,who could replace you. We only chose to let you join, because of your past connection with Superman. Nevermind the data that you provided, if only you had more then that. But that was given as your initiation fee, finalizing your being valuable to us. At this point we would only like to keep you, as a reminder to superman." added Luthor while Dr. Hamilton started to sweat.

"N-No! Wait! Please! You can't be serious?!" pleaded Dr. Hamilton while seeing him freeze as he was trying to get up from his chair. As he saw them all determined.They chose him to die.

"Well, you know what they say...majority rules. Goodbye Dr. Hamilton." remarked Madara before the shadow clone behind him, and removed his soul for all too see. Putting a genjutsu to make it look like he ate it, and storing it away in his space diemension to transfer later. They all looked intrigued at this, as it was basically a one hit ko.

"Satisfied?" asked Amanda while looking horrified at what he did to the scientist ,as they could see the soul as he eats it. Then he inserted his sword into his body ,causing it to disintegrate before their eyes.

"For now. But you would do well to keep this organization under control ,in not doing anything to provoke the Justice League. If anyone here does, regardless if it is done in the name of Cadmus, or your own personal ambition...your next! Oh and to prove I'm not bluffing in the slightest..." replied Madara before he was gone in a puff of smoke, and the sounds of explosions on different levels of the base could be heard. Followed by the many different alarms going off.

'Damn him. We need to get this preverbal reaper to our souls ,away from us or removed from play. Then bring Cadmus back from this situation. But how?!' thought Amanda while seeing soldiers finally enter the room, and several Medics managed to treat General Lane's hand.

Luthor in the meantime, was frowning at what he had just seen from this guy and was already scheming ;to find a way to make that power his own. Afterwards when batman returned to earth, based on a lead in Gotham. There was a man claiming to work ,for the one and only madara uchiha.

(Gotham City-Asian District)

Like many cities, Gotham City was divided up into many different cultural, and ethic territories that either coexisted or clashed depending on the people living in Gotham. There was the Little Italy Sector, run by the Mafia, and the Mob families who controlled the territory with a respectable, yet strong iron fist. The Irish had their gangs along their own territory within the city. The Russians had their own Mafia though they occasionally clashed with the Italians from time to time regarding the claiming of territory. And finally there was the Asian District of Gotham City, which was divided up evenly, or close to it by the Japanese Yakuza Clans, and the Chinese Triads.

Right now, the Dark Knight of Gotham City known as the Batman was moving through the slowly growing, if not thriving Asian District with a purpose. He had gotten word from one of his contacts here of a strange masked ninja currently alone in an old, yet still quite popular Chinese tea shop, and drinking said tea...alone.

The reason for him drinking alone ,may have had something to do with the masked ninja having a mini war with the Triad. Kicking their members out calling them "Cleashee overbreeders". He clearly did this to piss them off and it worked as they already tried to take back the shop. Which ended in disaster with more of their group being brutally beaten, and shipped to the hospital. All receiving what he called "Thousand years of death zeus style" least to say they are paralyzed permanently now. The place was big enough ,to start a Chinese restaurant if they wanted too. But they wanted to make a tea shop and have a more enclosed design. That's why it's considered a small tea shop and not big.But what puzzled the Dark Knight the most ,was the reason for the masked ninja's sudden appearance. Also

announcing his master in Gotham. For one, why do it in public? Why drink tea in a public place in Gotham knowing full well ,his master was being hunted by the police, friends of the inmates of Arkham, and Batman himself? And finally, the fact this masked man had also revealed, he was actually waiting for Batman. When Batman did enter the tea shop via the front door, he quickly shut, and locked it. Though he suspected this ninja knew many other exit points. He certainly did, so it stands to reason his adversary did too. Still, the last thing the Dark Knight wanted was for his enemy ,to sneak out through the front door.

Turning around, Batman saw his intended target sitting cross legged on a table drinking tea hovering, almost like a monk being in a position that looked like serenity, which in his mind was a big contradiction to the ninja way. Ninjas were the shadows that walked through the darkness, killing without mercy, without feeling, and without regret to their actions. He had a

But this man here...he was content. He even had a pai sho table ,with a white lotus symbol etched in the middle. He was calmly drinking jasmine tea. Also, the mask itself was strange but fitting. It was a orange swirled mask, sort of resembling the masters eyes. Which he heard rumours of afterwards. Plus, this ninja was wearing a straw hat with some dangling bells and a black cloak of sorts with red clouds on it.

This was not the masked ninja who attacked Arkham Asylum. A partner? Subordinate of some kind? Student? Were they from the same ninja clan?

"Your brain will explode, from the amount of questions going on in your head Dark Night." commented the ninja while sipping his tea through his mask.

Another act which actually baffled Batman. How was he doing that?!

"You are not the man I seek ,but you claim to be his underling." said Batman with the ninja nodding.

"No. I am not my Master. But I know you are looking for him." said the ninja with Batman frowning ,further knowing intimidation of this man was not going to be easy.

Ninjas walked through the dark places of humanity. They ate, drank, breathed, lived, and ultimately thrived in it. No doubt this ninja was not going to merely comply in answering his questions, and if he did...there was chance they were not entirely truthful. Ninjas never spoke the truth. Not the full truth. They kept themselves surrounded in the shadows, only a twisted distorted truth will apear.

"Is that so? Then you know I have to bring him in for what he did at Arkham." replied Batman while walking toward the ninja.

"Yes. Excuse me for my manners, I haven't introduced myself to you. You may call me Obito." said the now named Obito while Batman frowned further.

"Well given the fact you know me ,I wont introduce myself." commented Batman while Obito nodded and got off the table he was sitting on.

"My Master felt this would be an appropriate setting, for the two of us to meet. He would come himself, but he finds you unworthy of his presence. " said Obito with Batman frowning further in confusion.

"And he sends you in his place? What does that say about you?" questioned Batman in the hopes of making this ninja's loyalty to his "Master" be shaken.

"I am his subordinate. One does not question the wisdom of the Master ,and who he sends to meet others. You of all people should know this given your own past affiliations, he also believes in my abilities." said obito while Batman didn't respond to the jab at his own connections ,when training to become the Dark Knight.

"So what now? Why meet me here?" asked Batman with obito tilting his head slightly to the right.

"Im sure you found nothing, of a man who didn't exist untill the incident.With your obsessive behavior ,I'm not surprised ra's al ghul left you. As you won't dare involve the Justice League, because Gotham City is as you always put it 'your city'. Not that it matters ,as the governments are folding to the anti-heros ways." said obito with Batman's scowl increasing slightly at the jab to his pride.

"Who is your Master? Why did he kill those inmates in Arkham? Who does he work for? Who hired him? Did he come from Novatopia?" asked/demanded Batman with obito letting out a small chuckle.

"His name is madara uchiha and no hes not closely related to Novaverael uchiha. As for why he did what he did, he has his reasons and wouldnt want to spoil his plans. I cant believe the villians always tell you their plans, idiots. Then they call you the greatest detective hahaha a joke as the joker would say. Oh did I hit a sweet spot. What I will tell you is this...no one hired him. My Master killed those people in Arkham ,because they deserved it. More importantly to bring order to the world, and to prevent their awakening." replied obito then Batman inquired

"He has no right to play God with someone's life, but what nonsense are you talking about?" countered Batman with obito letting out another amused chuckle behind his mask.

"Are you sure? Even if it's their lives or the worlds at stake, even superman knows the choice then. You see its them, the old ones they are comming back and soon they will rise. They feed off of evil and madness then produce more. You ever wonder why this city is so bad, even with all your effort. Its them they are the cause an...." said Obito then stopped ,when a large tenticle came out if nowhere to attack. "C'thulu seeks your death!" it hissed and sent more to just be dodged ,while Batman backed away. "What ever you do dont look them in the eyes, in fact dont look at them at all. They will make you go mad, just like the mad hatter." Obito said. Meanwhile batman seen him put on a blindfold and looked in awe, as he dodged even things he couldn't. Batman did join the fight, but didnt listen to his advice. After enough time ,batman ended up going on a rampage; throughout the chinese district. The ones not attacked ,where recording this incident. The ones who looked at him and the tenticle monster, got influenced. Of course "obito" is not heartless. So he had the avatar of Mr.Sauron, direct their madness influence; to attack people with evil karma. Eventually the league was called in, but the ninja obito "killed" the doppelganger in it's true form. It then went up into black flames, and everyone who was under control ;went back to normal. Just then the first to arrive was the flash. He looked at me whom had torn clothes and looked like I went through a shredder. All the blood I left behind ,was of course controlled to go into the void space I have. With the power of the Ketsuryūgan, it made this easy; nevermind the additional use of bloodbending. I'll have to report to the original, this was a sucess.

"Woah man, you sure took a beating are you alright?" He asked as he was notified and seen a video before dispatch.

I nodded and said "I might as well take this off now ,since I killed it. Now let me introduce myself, I'm obito and I work for Madara Uchiha. Now before you judge his actions, he did so because of these hideous beings. They all work for the old one, C'thulu himself. Hes using this cities evil and madness to reemerge. If you think the effect of the small ones are bad. If C'thulu comes just being in his presence, blindfold or not will turn you like it did to batman." I explained in a very fast past, as I knew he would understand. I also respect him , for being patient with everyone else.

He nodded back albeit a bit pale and we heard batman groan and get up. "I feel like I was hit by a truck." Just as he said that ,a tenticle emerged from the shadows to strike him!!! Even the flash didn't have the speed to intercept it, as the shadow was too close. I teleported, right to where it would hit him through his heart. It hit mine instead!!! I then grabbed the tenticle ,not letting go and activated my seal. Amaterasu flames apeared all over my arm that grabbed him and I looked to the flash sadly and he said "DON'T!" "Dont touch me or the flames or you will die, these ar-" I was interrupted when Diana and superman arrived.

"FLASH GET BACK! THOSE ARE HELL FLAMES, THEY NEVER EXTINGUISH!" Diana yelled.

"B-but he saved batman...." He felt bad because he felt like he should do something, but I said.

"blcough Its alright, this is to ensure we both die, and Cadmus doesn't get my DNA. Boy, master is gonna be mad at me for saving him. I read his report....I I just couldn't let him die. This world needs him, but I hope he changes his behavior for the better. Goodbye Al." The specialized clone made from my dna dropped dead, after the flames spread to his heart and head. Superman,The flash, Diana, and batman look at him in shock. As he just sacrificed himself, for someone he only knew from a file; for the betterment of the world.

"H-hes gone...." Batman said in a cracked voice, as he didn't know what to think about this anymore.

"Yes and he saved you, even knowing he would die and it would upset his master." Superman said in a solemn voice.

"I-I wasn't fast enough, if he didnt teleport to save him...." The flash said looking at the ashes covered in black flames, slowly dissipating.

"We should at least commemorate him or something." Diana said but batman said "No! Do you have any idea who his master is? Its Madara Uchiha the red samurai.We don't know what horrible acts ,he has done so far." He said growling

"He said he's trying to prevent C'thulu from rising ,as hes using the evil and madness from the city to reemerge." Thr flash said getting a scowl from batman.

"That's just a cover! He sacrificed himself to make it more believable! He-he must have set this up, the red samurai did this I tell you!!'" Batman said. This got the audience to start booing and throwing rocks at batman.

"Gahhh Damnit Let's go to the tower, well discuss it there." he said. The rest reluctantly nodded and they headed of thinking

'Even if this was a setup, this isn't going to end well for you batman.'

Little did they know Madara was currently on the worlds biggest supercomputer, that he borrowed. In a scientific research center that he subdued and left know trace. He didn't kill anyone , and just left them unconscious. He was currently on the most biggest social media platform ,akatsuki-social-network. He used his advanced ai to troll.

[TraitorBat61] : Look at this batman has had it with the low crime rate. So he decided to make some crime. What a f**king hypocrite!

[Batfan101] : Hes obviously under brain control you idiot.

[TraitorBat61] : Did you see his fight with the league, hes clearly gone rogue. Couldnt save his own city and lower the crime rate, so he decides to blame the anti-hero who saved him ;by sacrificing himself. Batman should have died, usless trash. Did you see the city now its like metropolis, almost crime free. Arkham with no crime means batman is not needed, don't you get it.

[Giovanni Pizzeria] : I don't want to be biased on this, but..... this doesn't look good for batman.

ect.....

[Meanwhile in the shop]

"All went according to plan?" asked the original Novaverael, who appeared behind obito.

"Yes. The fight showed him I was his better. The threat of his identity being possibly known, and the media network will make him back off. If only for the moment, and if he doesnt he will be kicked from the league. " said obito the shadow clone that observed the incident.

"That's good. I knew it was a good idea to send you. If only I could bring about the real obito and not a Shadow Clone with my memories of him. I can't resurrect souls and hes a shattered man anyways." commented Novaverael

The Clone then dispells.

"Yeah it is a little bit disturbing. It might change his ways, or force him to. I guess only way to make myself feel better, is find more people to troll!" declared Novaverael in dramatic fashion with his right hand's thumb up with shining teeth smile. He recreated the Gai-sensei genjutsu of youthful sunshine. 'Now for the next step.'
