THE VILLAINS BEGIN THE GLOBAL HUNT FOR THE "FIRE FRUIT USER"
1. THE SPY INSIDE THE JUSTICE LEAGUE
Three days after Damian woke up, the Watchtower's internal message logs were quietly copied.
Not hacked.
Not brute-forced.
Copied
by someone with access.
A spy.
A traitor.
The data package included:
Batman's summary briefing
Wonder Woman's lasso-confirmed results
Superman's battlefield analysis
Damian's half-truth explanation of the Devil Fruits
Within twelve hours, the package reached a private, encrypted server belonging to—
The Light.
2. THE LIGHT — FULL EMERGENCY SESSION
Inside a blackened holographic chamber, seven figures appeared.
Lex Luthor
Vandal Savage
Queen Bee
Klarion the Witch Boy
Ocean Master
Ultra-Humanite
One empty seat… for someone missing
All staring at the paused Watchtower footage:
Damian Wayne erupting into a pillar of divine fire that split the clouds, scorched the atmosphere, and disabled Doomsday's evolution.
Luthor rewound it frame by frame.
Again.
Again.
He whispered:
Lex Luthor:
"…In one attack, he accomplished what Kryptonians and New Gods failed to do.
Fire that halts exponential regeneration? That violates every rule of biology."
Queen Bee leaned forward.
Queen Bee:
"These… Devil Fruits.
They are real."
Ocean Master slammed a fist on the table.
Ocean Master:
"Why did Atlantis never discover such artifacts?!"
Ultra-Humanite spoke through his modulated voice.
Ultra-Humanite:
"Because these fruits do not originate from any known Earth realm.
Magic, meta-gene, alien—none of it fits."
Klarion was shaking—not angry.
Excited.
Klarion:
"Fruit that makes fire bend like a primordial god's flame…
I want it.
I WANT ALL OF THEM!"
Vandal Savage finally stood.
His voice calm, ancient, heavy.
Vandal Savage:
"For 50,000 years, I believed I knew every power that touched this planet.
But this… 'Devil Fruit'…
I have never encountered its like."
He turned to Luthor.
Vandal Savage:
"Locate Damian Wayne."
Luthor smirked.
Lex Luthor:
"Oh, I already have a list of plans."
3. LEX LUTHOR — NEW WORLD PREDICTION
In private, Luthor recorded a personal note.
Lex's Log – Meta-Evolution Threat Assessment
"If these fruits can grant elemental dominion, bestial metamorphosis, or reality-altering abilities…
then the world will enter a new superpower era.
The first to mass-produce them wins the next century."
He paused the video on Damian's blazing form.
Lex Luthor:
"Wayne… What have you eaten?"
4. INFINITY ISLAND — THE DEMON'S HEAD SPEAKS
In the heart of the League of Assassins, Ra's al Ghul watched the same video.
Next to him stood Lady Shiva and several elite shadows.
The room was silent until Ra's finally exhaled.
Ra's al Ghul:
"My grandson has become something this world has no name for."
His tone was not pride.
It was calculation.
Ra's al Ghul:
"Power like this changes destinies.
Empires.
Bloodlines."
Lady Shiva watched Damian erupt into flames capable of killing gods.
Lady Shiva:
"…He did not learn that from us."
Ra's nodded.
Ra's al Ghul:
"No.
And that frightens me more than anything."
5. THE US GOVERNMENT — EMERGENCY THREAT FILE: WAYNE-02
Amanda Waller slammed a folder on the table so hard that her staff flinched.
Inside:
Photos.
Scans.
Battlefield readings.
Psychological profiles.
Waller:
"There is a CHILD walking around with a weaponized ability that nearly killed Doomsday."
A general protested.
General:
"But he's Batman's son—"
Waller:
"I don't care if he's the Pope's son.
This boy's fire broke all known threat scales."
She glared.
Waller:
"I want contingencies.
And I want them YESTERDAY."
6. DAMIAN — HE ALWAYS KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN
Meanwhile, Damian sat alone in his Watchtower recovery room.
His eyes opened as a familiar system notification flashed in his mind:
[ALERT: MULTIPLE FACTIONS INVESTIGATING "DEVIL FRUIT ORIGINS."]
[SUGGESTED RESPONSE: IGNORE.]
Damian sighed.
Damian (thought):
"I knew villains would eventually learn about Devil Fruits…
but it doesn't matter."
He clenched his fist.
A small, controlled flame flickered above his palm.
Damian (thought):
"In this world, Devil Fruits don't exist unless my system gives them to me.
No one can find them.
No one can replicate them.
My power is not something anyone can steal."
His expression hardened.
Damian (thought):
"And I'm done making excuses.
Done pretending my abilities are normal.
Done hiding behind stories."
He stood up from the bed.
Damian (thought):
"If this world wants the truth…
they're not ready for it."
7. EPILOGUE — THE LIGHT'S FINAL DECISION
Back at the Light's meeting—
Vandal Savage gave the final order.
Vandal Savage:
"Activate Project: Convergence.
We will acquire a Devil Fruit…
or the boy."
Lex smiled.
Lex Luthor:
"Then let the hunt for Damian Wayne…
begin."
The holograms shut off.
The world's villains moved as one.
The search for the Fire Fruit User had begun.
**And none of them knew the truth—
no Devil Fruit existed outside Damian's system.**
