"I don't see the problem," Jasper said sitting and looking out the small window that looked out to space. He could see Tamaran fading in the background.

"It's a problem because you're a lazy asshole!" Blackfire said standing there with her arms crossed and tapping her foot on the Spaceship ground.

"I'm not a lazy asshole... Well... Nevermind I don't care about this conversation... What are we doing again?" Jasper asked yawning and proving Blackfire's point, even after all this time he hadn't changed completely. At least he knew he was the main personality though.

"Damn it see!?" Blackfire said with her hands suddenly covered in Black energy. Jasper chuckled and ran forward faster than she could see her and tapped her shoulder as he stood next to her.

"Your sister right?... I know where she is... I might as well return..." Jasper said before biting his lips causing blood to draw as he got his heart rate under control. ' It's gonna be fine...' He thought to himself as Blackfire stood staring at him in Shock.

"What do you mean?... I thought you didn't want anything to do with this?... Remember... when I asked before" Blackfire said shrugging his hand off and turning away, still not believing he knew where her sister was.

That would be too hopeful to believe. Blackfire always hated her sister. The sister that seemed to be able to get whatever she wanted, She had even tried to kill her one time when they were younger, something she had never told anyone. Starfire was aware of this of course, but she never knew why Blackfire hated her so much. Blackfire of course, was simply jealous of her younger sister, so much so that it grew to be hate.

"Well... That was before... And I might as well get back there... Your sister was actually someone I trained... She's pretty strong..." Jasper said still distressed about the fact of going back to earth.

What should he expect? Would Darkseid be in control, will Rize even care about him? Had everyone forgotten him in these few months?... Most importantly of course, how were they?

Jasper was scared... Scared of going back and finding nothing... Even more scared of going back and nobody liking him anymore. He had no idea how he'd react to something like that.

Blackfire looked at him for a few seconds before sighing and gesturing for him to follow her. Jasper nodded and eventually they made their way to the front of the ship. After giving the pilot the coordinates Jasper finally lied down for some much-needed rest...

...

*Crash*

Jasper's eyes snapped open a few days later as the ship rumbled. Nothing much had happened these days of traveling back to earth except for a few space pirates who he'd swiftly killed and devoured without a second thought.

He never gave a shit about Bruce's no-kill rule anyway, and he'd already stopped using it after the battle on earth.

So, with this in mind he jumped up, thinking they were perhaps being attacked again. He honestly hoped they were, after eating beings again he finally felt hunger, a hunger he needed to satisfy, so hopefully, these guys would be tasty.

Much to his surprise, however, he saw someone very familiar... except he was a little different. "Hal?" Jasper asked seeing the man in a yellow suit with yellow energy radiating off from his ring on his finger. Turning to the side Jasper saw many Tamaranians thrown and beaten to the floor as Blackfire was standing ready to fight but badly beaten.

Before Jasper could ask any more questions he was hit from the side by a large yellow fist, courtesy of Green Lantern... or Yellow Lantern as they called him these days. Flying into Blackfire Jasper opened a portal and appeared behind Hal kicking him in the back still holding Blackfire.

"What are you doing!?" Blackfire said as she was held in Jaspers arms. Jasper ignored her however and dodged to the right seeing Hal storming at him.

"Hey extra baggage, can you be useful?... Because that guy isn't listening to reason... He's all evil right now..." Jasper said in a slightly surprised tone seeing as the last time he'd seen him, he was perfectly fine and spewing Justice crap.

"I'm in full control, Jasper..." Hal said looking down on him as he floated in the air. Jasper widened his eyes as he realized that Hal was doing this of his own free will... but why was he attacking?

Jasper got no answer to his question, but he was able to get a large sword to slice off his arm. Throwing Blackfire to the side Jasper jumped up through a portal, fully ghouled out as he appeared out of another one with his teeth sunk into Hal's flesh.

"Humans... taste the best," Jasper said smiling as he put his finger to his lips taking off some blood and licking it off. Jasper then dropped through a portal and grabbed Hal after reappearing, slamming the lantern to the floor.

"Tell me, Hal!... What happened..." Jasper asked after biting off Hal's finger.

"Ugh!" Hal yelled struggling to get out of Jaspers grip as the Ghoul had a bloody smile above him.

"T-Things have changed!" Hal said before shaking violently and passing out from blood loss. Jasper sighed as he put his fingers against his forehead and read his mind in Hal's Pov...

(Hal's Pov)

"We... Did it" I said with a smile as Darkseid retreated with the Paredemons. Superman was bloodied on the ground but still smiling that we had won.

"Did we?" A deep voice says and we look over to see Bruce standing there while looking at his torn-off mask. Before we could ask he dropped a smoke pellet, disappearing somehow without us being able to do anything about it...

Things were fine for 2 weeks after the events. Earth had finally started to get back to normal, albeit with a few more fears... and heroes. They had shown up suddenly when fighting, Like the new member of the titans, Bumblebee, or the one in Young Justice, Blue Beetle.

Then things changed... One day we were called for a murder, a simple murder that I went to... but what I saw... scared me. "B-Bruce?" I said fear creeping into my voice seeing the 6-foot man standing there in his usual bat suit... except he was covered in blood...

"These types of filth don't deserve to live..." Batman said smiling crazily as he grappled away with blood dripping off. Feeling the chills I gulped and left the area, all to report what happened to Superman.

Finally, a month passed of us trying to stop Batman... Aquaman died... then Hawkgirl and hawk guy... after these deaths, we slowed down until finally Wonder Woman was beaten and an even bigger accident occurred... I vividly remember... some guy came and... told me to find jas-... wait... why am I remembering this?... God... hell no, Jasper! Get out of my head!

Jasper's eyes opened as he woke up in shock after reading Hal's memories. "God... all that?... I need to know what happened... why would he go so far?... what's going on now?... why is hal part of the yellow lanterns..." Jasper gripped his head as he finally realized something.

"We're falling dumbass!" Blackfire said slamming into him as Earth's atmosphere sucked them in, causing the room to heat up as they fell down into Earth's atmosphere.

...

"Fuck... we survived at least..." Jasper said coughing as he looked around the land they'd landed in. Hal was gone, but Blackfire was right next to him in her now ripped outfit.

"Seems everyone else but us died... we got lucky," Jasper said grabbing Blackfire and putting her on his back, and walking away from the wreckage, not noticing the man walking behind him.

Before he could do anything he was knocked into a tree, barely able to protect Blackfire as he was hit in the stomach by the man who was following him...
