"But something else is wrong something bigger than just Roy" Aqua Lad said he even sounded very concerned this worried the remaining Leaguers he was usually calm one in these situation
"The Justice League was under the thrall of Vandal Savage for over a day we've accounted for most of that time well you were unconscious" Robin explained bringing six images on Wonder Woman Batman Superman Hawk Girl and John Stewart
"But these six went missing for a full sixteen hours that we can't account for their weren't any public sightings and the Zeta-tubes were not used by any of these six within the hours they were missing" Ronin continued sounding just as concerned as Aqua Lad
"Sixteen hours what did we do" Batman asked dreed clear in even his voice
"That of course is the million dollar question Batman one that even I dread to learn" Ronin stated lowering his gaze everyone in the room silently agreed with him
Gotham City January 1, 16:16 EST
Snow had covered the ground in Gotham a perfect day to build a snowman drink a cup of hot coco with a plate of cookies or eat some of that left over Christmas dinner unless you're a member of the Team's Delta squad then you have to spend your time chasing after a super villain through the dank dark sewer tunnels and unfortunately for Superboy he was on that team the sound of his running echoed off the walls Superboy slide to a stop next to a pile of gray goo keeling next to it he discovered that it was still pretty fresh that means their target couldn't be far before had the chance to move a tentacle shot out of the water and wrapped around Superboy
"What the" the kryptonian hybrid began only to interrupted as he was pulled toward the now forming Clay Face Superboy was slammed against the villains chest
"You always fall for this" the villain mocked with a laugh
"GUYS BACK UP NOW" Superboy mentally screamed as he struggled against the slime that was slowly drowning him
"Struggle all you want kid even a kryptonian has to breathe" Clay Face stated as Superboy fully sank into his body
"Let Him Go" a voice ordered Miss Martian flew in uncloaked above them and telekinetically tore Clay Face open freeing Superboy who jumped back avoiding two tendrils Clay Face reformed his body
"Delta squad we've flushed out the target converge on our signal" Miss Martian thought
"We could play at this all day Missy" Clay Face stated forming his hands into a pair of spikes clubs. "Nothing you can do hurts me"
"Oh Yeah" Robin thought tossing bird-a-rangs from the shadows they stuck into the villains back causing an electric shock however the villain laughed it off as the discs fell harmlessly out of his back
"That don't work anymore"
"Then try this" Superboy said taking a capsule out his pocket annoyed the villain turned toward him again and charged at the kryptonian hybrid Superboy smirked as he flicked the capsule into Clay Face's mouth halting him a moment later the capsule went off turning the villains body into concrete. "Distraction went off as planed Robin"
"Thanks Just happy it worked" the new boy wonder replied stepping out of the shadows with his bo staff over his shoulder an alligator suddenly came swimming down a nearby pipe and morphed back into Beast Boy who stood up and saw the defeated villain
"Aw man is it over already I didn't get a souvenir for the trophy room" the younger hero complained that's when Blue Beetle and Bumble Bee came flying in
"Dude I think that smell qualifies" Blue Beetle stated covering his nose Superboy stepped out of the water Miss Martian as Bumble returned to normal size next to her Miss Martian pulled down her hood reveling her short hair Miss Martian turned the com in her ear on
"Delta squad to cave…target has been neutralized" Miss M stated
"Cop that Delta…we've already contacted the GCPD take Clay Face and meet them at the North East exit it's… about a mile and a half from your current location better hurry up no telling how long that concrete capsule will hold him Cave out" Ronin's ordered over the com links before they shut off
Mount Justice moments later
Ronin, Night Wing, Lagoon Boy and Mal Duncan stood as control center with this mission complete they shut the coms down
"Lo de siempre" Ronin stated with a small smirk after shutting the com and the holo screens off
"Sí, es genial, ¿no es así?" Night Wing asked crossing his arms
"Una vida encantada" Ronin replied turning around to face the others
"Okay what are you two saying" Mal Duncan asked
"Don't worry about it" Ronin and Night Wing replied in English this time
"Better not be talking about me" Lagoon Boy muttered visible annoyed
"We weren't talking about you Lagoon Boy so just relax fish boy" Ronin stated in a board tone Lagoon Boy's glare sharped he hated that nickname. "Any who you two I'll pair up with Mal Night Wing your with Lagoon"
"Neptune's beard"
"I really hate sometimes man" Mal muttered but he knew this was important Ronin just was looking out for his wellbeing making sure he was able to defend himself if absolutely necessary
Time Skip Mount Justice January 1, 18:18 EST
Both Lagoon and Mal were knocked down again
"NEPTUNE'S BEARD you did it to me again" Lagoon Boy exclaimed Night Wing offered him a helping hand up which he accepted. "I don't care how many years you trained as Robin and then Night Wing one of these days you're mine chum"
"I don't doubt it Lagoon Boy" Night Wing replied with a smirk meanwhile Mal was breathing heavily while holding his ribs he slowly sat up still feeling quite a bit of pain he was exhausted
"How'd I do this time" he asked Ronin who shrugged as he finished a bottle of water before pulling out a golden watch flipping it opened he checked the time Ronin sighed making Mal worried as Ronin flipped the watch shut
"Alright it's passable" Ronin finally admitted as he pulled Mal to his feet

Both Lagoon and Mal immediately went up to there girlfriends
"Slow down beautiful I want to tell you about what's on for tonight"
"Sorry Mal I can't" Bumble interrupted pulling her cowl down. "I'm already late for a lab season with Dr. Palmer"
"Well then you'd better hurry we all Dr. Palmer can pretty…impatience" Ronin stated
"Oh right thanks Ronin RAIN CHECK BABY" Bumble shouted rushing down the hall
"Yeah right rain check sure" Mal muttered disheartened mean while Megan and Lagoon were sharing a moment that didn't help Mal in the least Superboy just walked passed ignoring them
"I'm hitting the showers" he stated
"Now that sounds like a plan for you hermano" Blue Beetle told Beast Boy as deactivated the beetle amour and walked away Beast Boy shook his tail getting sewer water on the floor
"YOU'RE CLEANING THIS UP WHEN YOU'RE DONE" Ronin shouted after the shape shifter he then thought. "Oh God I am a father not my father because he was a total-no that's in the past move beyond it you're better than that better then him"
"Clay Face is safely back in his Arkham cell" Robin told his predecessor
"Good work" Night Wing replied
"I didn't do much I just-"
"Guys we got a call bringing it up now" Ronin interrupted connecting the call from the Watch Tower to the Cave Captain Atom came on screen
"Team we have emergency alert the United Nations headquarters is under attack" the elder hero informed
"Copy that watch tower standby"
"Beta's only two blocks away" Mal informed
"War Hawk, Wonder Girl and Bat Girl should be able to handle it plus Green Lanterns not too far from DC he could meet them there" Night Wing stated
"Captain the Team's Beta squad is in the vicinity ETA is about three minutes Green Lantern's is at top speed eleven minutes Cave out" Ronin replied cutting the call and turning his com to contact Beta squad and the Lantern Ronin then muttered in a concerned tone. "Kokuren o kōgeki suru no ni jūbun'na, matawa jūbun ni orokana mono"
New York City January 1, 18:23 EST
A tall imposing red eyed white gray skinned leather, metal and bone wearing alien with long black hair busted into the United Nations and easily took the guards down with some kind of hook launcher weapon the alien sniffed the air with a sneer mean while the guards retreated with Secretary General Tseng back to his office but the alien easily punched the wall down knocking out the first guard the second guard open fired only for the bullets to bounce of the intruders skin alien just looked annoyed like a bug had just bite him so he plugged his finger into the gun barrel blowing the gun to pieces while the blast knocked the second guard out cold the alien began speaking to Tseng
"Please I don't understand I don't know what you want"
The alien sighed with an annoyed glare as a button activating a translator
"So that's how you want to play it fine contract calls for the main man to put on a show for the locals" the alien stated in English this time. "So one more time surrender or die"
"Contract show" Tseng asked
"Die it is" the alien decided War Hawk flipped over him and swung her mace as soon as she landed with ever once of strength she had crating a shock wave strong to shatter the windows and send the alien sliding back into Wonder Girl who wrapped her arms around the big guy and suplexed the alien Bat Girl jumped in through a broken window Wonder Girl rolled away and stood up next to War Hawk as the very angry alien slowly got to his feet he was clearly not expecting such powerful creatures to be on this planet
"War Hawk Wonder Girl keep him busy I'll Secretary General Tseng to safety" Bat Girl ordered
"We're all over Bat Girl" Wonder Girl replied with a thumbs up just as the alien fully stood up before dropping into a fight stance
"Alright big guy who the hell are you" War Hawk asked just as Bat Girl entered a hidden elevator with Tseng
"Feisty, beautiful and straight to the point I like that…fine I'll give you the courtesy the names Lobo bounty hunter" the alien replied (Note: I'm just trying to get closer to Lobo's personality so don't lose your shit and roast me alive)
"Alright Lobo let's see how much punishment you can-" Wonder Girl started landing a punch Lobo caught the second one grabbed her face and lifted her up
"Well normally I'd be all for that babe-"Lobo began with a sneer War Hawk was stunned by his strength as he easily held Wonder Girl up not many could do that Lobo turn and threw Wonder Girl through the wall behind him. "But I'm on a tight schedule"
War Hawk recovered from the shock she slew up and swung her mace down at the alien who blocked with the metal bracer on his arm he grabbed her mace and tossed it aside War Hawk then went to engage in fisticuffs with the alien blocking and dodging each hit however her hits had little effect well Lobo's hurt like crashing into a brick wall War Hawk dodged a left swing only to be hit be a right uppercut to the heroine's stomach knocking her breath away she stumbled back holding her gut Lobo took a few steps back before he charged forward shoulder checking her sending them both through the elevator doors and down the shaft during the fall the two continued the struggled at the very bottom Bat Girl and Tseng had finally made it
"Come on we'll get out through the general assembly building" Bat Girl decided pulling Tseng out of the elevator just as Lobo came crashing through the ceiling with War Hawk under his feet the two were sent falling forward Bat Girl managed to and land on her knees she reached into her belt pulled a smoke pellet out and threw it at Lobo's feet blanketing the area in smoke allowing her and Tseng slip away to the assembly building Bat Girl was forced to tackle Tseng to behind avoid Lobo's hook he placed the weapon on his back again as he walked out of the smoke seemly unaffected by the smoke War Hawk suddenly flew out of the smoke and struck the back of Lobo's knee's knocking him off his feet but before he could hit the ground Wonder Girl flew in with a sledge hammer to his chest Wonder Girl jumped back and landed as Lobo started standing in the crater
"Keasy fem's" the alien half shouted growing anger
"Yeah yeah Keasy fem's we've been called worse" Wonder Girl stated not dropping her stance but she looked down."…Um I think"
"Don't drop your guard" War Hawk shouted Wonder Girl was shaken her from her thoughts just in time to dodge a punch and retaliate with an upper cut followed by a spin kick sending Lobo stumbling back Wonder Girl grabbed her lasso and throw it around Lobo attempting to subdue the alien Lobo grabbed the lasso and pulled Wonder Girl into a clothes lined he grabbed Wonder Girl's leg and used her hit the charging War Hawk sending them both flying Bat Girl watched this she ducked down again
"When I move you run" she ordered Tseng nodded still scared Bat Girl turned and propelled herself off the table they were hiding Tseng made a break for it Bat Girl glided through the air landed on Lobo's shoulders shoulder and flipped landing on the table in front of Lobo the alien flipped the table sending Bat Girl flying
"Planet of Keasy fem's" Lobo mocked that's when he noticed the two bombs Bat Girl had planted on him they both detonated knocking him back into a table Wonder Girl recovered again and flew at Lobo in an attempt to punch him but he ducked the attack grabbed her leg spun her and then flung her at War Hawk who was helping Bat Girl up Wonder Girl collided into both of them knocking the three heroines down stunning them meanwhile Tseng nearly made it to the door when Lobo jumped in front of him halting any chance of escape
"Time to die Krolo" Lobo stated Lobo then grabbed Tseng wrists and lifted him up the three heroines recovered and attempt to stop the alien but in on swift motion Lobo tore Tseng in half reveling he was a robot the heroines stopped a few steps away from Lobo Wonder Girl cringed
"EW"
"He's a robot" War Hawk asked it was more of a statement Lobo let what they thought was Tseng and pulled out a tiny green alien it struggled in his grip. "I was not ready for today"
"The main man's contract is complete" Lobo said pressing a button on his belt while still keeping a grip on the tiny alien. "Keasy fem your world's your world"
"Ok seriously what does that mean and what is that thin-" Wonder Girl began she was interrupted as the double door behind Lobo the alien turned and leapt through the hole and landed on what looked like a large space bike the bike took off upward
"I think he might have been an alien" Wonder Girl muttered looking out of the hole
"Really what was your first clue" War Hawk stated sarcastically walking up next to her
"And that's not even the scary part" Bat Girl stated studying the robot causing the other two to turn to her only for a bright green light to come through hole they turned toward it to see Green Lantern flying into the hole he landed observing the damage including the robot suit of Tseng a confused look crossed his face
"Okay what happened here and what did I miss here" he asked
"Nothing babe just your normal everyday alien bounty hunter attack" War Hawk replied sarcastically she walked up to him and kissed his check unknown to them Lobo was giving them a gesture as he flew
News Report
See? See the big alien rips open the phony secretary Tseng and pulls out the little alien" G Gordon stated as he step in front of the camera after he finished replaying the video from the attacks for lord knows how many times at this point. "Oh I know what you're saying folks Good old G. Gordon's lost it what's this the eighth billionth he's run that clip But that's because I'm trying To wake you up! Turn and look at the person next to you, my friends. How can you be sure he, or she Is even human? When is the old mighty Justice League going to find a way to scan for these aliens? Who exactly are they trying to protect? OK, sure Superman and the Manhunter from Mars seem to be on the side of the angels, but That's two aliens in the good column and two in the bad Let's see if we can get some answers"
News Reporter Cat Grant Hall of Justice
"Thanks, Gordon. This is Cat Grant, at the Hall of Justice. I'm gonna try and get a statement from the three newest members of the League" Cat began. "Zatanna, Super Girl and Rocket"
"No comment!" Zatanna replied clearly annoyed a lady opened the door for them and they walked in
"Miss Grant, I've told you. The League will issue a statement soon" Katherine told Cat before shutting the door
News Room
"Did you see that, folks? That was League public liaison officer, Katherine Cubert, literally stonewalling GBS's own Cat Grant. What's the League hiding we know it provides a safe haven for two Kryptonians and a Martian But what if that's not all What if the Amazons came from outer space or the Atlanteans how can we really know Flash isn't an alien Or Hawk Man or Icon what are they keeping from the real earthlings Like us?" G. Gordon asked

"The news is always so negative seriously why can't there be anything positive" Ronin complained as Zatanna Rocket and Supergirl walked in next to the others. "It's always just a white cop shot a black guy must be a hate crime or other crap like that"
"Yeah right" Superboy replied uncertain
"Anyway the big guy Lobo he's an intergalactic bounty hunter he's extremely dangerous War Hawk, Bat Girl and Wonder Girl got lucky he wasn't trying to kill them fortunately he's not likely to return without a contract but little guy is an entirely different story that's a Krolotean, and Kroloteans always travel in packs" Aaron explained
"Meaning, more of them are on Earth" Jon Stewart concluded nodding at Aaron he had learned a lot since basic training
"I believe my friend may have vital information on that point" the Manhunter stated turning toward said friend a blond haired man in a lab coat. "Some of you have not met Adam Strange, of STAR Labs' O'Dell Initiative. He is the scientist responsible for maintaining the Zeta-Beam technology we use for teleportation."
"That explains a lot for me" War Hawk thought
"Yeah I was wondering why a stranger was allowed in the top secret Watch Tower" Superboy mentally agreed
"And he has a story to tell"
"Hold that thought Dr Strange" Ronin interrupted clapping his hands together just as Adam was about to speak. "Would one of the Martian's kindly link us up so we can see what he exactly saw"
"Very well brace yourself Adam" Manhunter replied his eyes glowed as he connected everyone's mind Adam winced as he was not use to such a foreign presents in his mind. "What you remember we will see"
"Uh that's great?" Adam said out loud not too sure what to make of this
"Well, I was performing a routine Zeta-Tube upgrade, when something went wrong and I found myself transported halfway across the Galaxy, to a planet called Rann. There was a scientist there, Sardath. He was conducting his own experiments in enhanced, very enhanced, Zeta-Beam technology. It took weeks to establish even basic communication. But Sardath eventually made me understand some of his Zeta tech had been stolen" Adam thought as he told the story various images of the alien world and tech went through their minds
"Fits the Krolotean M.O their entire culture revolves around stolen tech" Aaron stated
"Sardath detected transmissions between a single location on Rann and multiple locations on Earth he was attempting to trace those when he accidentally transported me to Rann" Adam explained pulling a triangle shaped object from his pocket it opened and projected a hologram of the Earth with dots spread around it fourteen in total. "He gave me this. It detects trace of Zeta radiation and can pinpoint all the locations where Kroloteans have beamed to Earth."
"Then I'm ordering two pronged attack we'll stage simultaneous raids on every Krolotean target on Earth" Captain Atom decided letting his military side show. "While a contingent of Leaguers travels to Rann, with Strange here, to cut the Kroloteans off of the source"
"Ahem we might have a problem with that Second prong. Totally unclear on the "why", but earthlings are personae non grata in Rann's corner of the Galaxy" Adam interrupted switching the hologram to show the missing six Leaguers. "And these six Leaguers are Wanted criminals."
"WHAT" Jon exclaimed voicing everyone's thoughts
"Those six-it's the missing sixteen hours that's what you did" Ronin stated as he face palmed for not thinking of them being in space
"We didn't think they could have or would send you off world" Night Wing added
"Agreed Five years ago, Vandal Savage took complete mental control of the entire Justice League. These exact six Leaguers went missing for sixteen hours" Bat Man explained Adam nodded unnerved by this
"Never even occurred to us that Vandal might have sent us into space" Jon stated. "I'll alert Hal He and Guy are on Oa, with the Green Lantern Corps Aaron you stay here help them"
"Yes sir" the younger Lantern replied with a two fingered salute
"Meanwhile, we have fifteen other active Leaguers to send to Rann to investigate"
"You're not getting it Captain there's a planetary watch alert out on Rann for every Leaguer" Adam interrupted again
"Not all of us are Leaguer I'll take a squad to handle things on Rann" Ronin decided. "We'll not only stop the Krolotean's but also find out what happened during those sixteen hours hopefully without causing an intergalactic incident Night Wing you're in charge until I return I'll be taking Miss Martian, Beast Boy and Superboy"
"Are you sure about that" Night Wing asked
"Positive you led the team in my absents before I trust your judgment the most" Ronin replied. "oh and Superboy if you're going with us you might want to change that shirt"
"Right" he replied the team then moved to leave but were stopped by Zatanna, Rocket and Supergirl
"You know, that thing about you not being Leaguers - You five still have an open invitation" Zatanna thought
"We know Z-" Night Wing thought
"We appreciate the offer-" Ronin thought
"And are glad we're trusted by the League that much-" Superboy thought
"But we're all happy-" Miss Martin thought
"Where we are right now" Lantern and Hawk thought at the same time Ronin paused as his teammates and two former teammates left he was left with Supergirl they just awkwardly looked away from each other
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have-" they both suddenly said they paused staring at each other before chuckling a bit
"Um you first"
"There's no way we can keep doing this I'm sorry that I left with nothing more than a video explaining why it was stupid and selfish and I am truly sorry that I hurt you" Ronin began with a heavy sigh as he looked down Supergirl held onto every word. "It's just I needed to regain my confidence as a fighter and leader after what happened to Tula and-Jason and I just felt Natas my father's mentor could help"
"I'm sorry to I was just so angry when you left I couldn't think straight i should have seen your side of the story you only wanted what you thought was best for the Team" Supergirl stated calmly. "Let's just start over when you get back"
"I'd like that" Ronin replied walking past her with a hidden smile he stepped into the Zeta Tube and looked back at Supergirl she smiled slightly and wave to him as the Zeta Tube turned on and just before he was transported out Ronin returned the wave

"Come on Alpha squad" Lagoon muttered under his breath
"War Hawk, Wonder Girl and l are Alpha"
"Smart choice"
"Yes"
"Neptune's Beard!"
"Assignment Philadelphia"
"Ok ok give me Beta"
"Green Lantern, Bat Girl, Bumblebee you three and Wolf are Beta" Night Wing ordered Lagoon sighed as Lantern started petting Wolf. "Assignment Vlatastok"
"You got it boss man" Lantern replied creating a leash for Wolf's collar he then lead his teammates to the Zeta Tubes (Note: Yes I know Wolf doesn't wear a collar I don't know why but I really want Wolf to have a collar like a really large one like a brown one leather one made by Bat Man to be nearly indestructible but it's also comfortable for Wolf to wear) Night Wing walked up to the remaining three heroes
"Robin, Lagoon, Beetle you're Gamma prep the Bio-Ship you're headed to New Orleans" Night Wing ordered
"Gamma always gets the soft gigs" Lagoon muttered in an angry annoyed tone as he turned walked toward the hanger followed by Beetle
"Tim you'll be running Gamma" Night Wing stated stopping Robin from following his teammates
"Dick I've never led a squad before" Robin protested
"Making this a good opportunity to get your feet wet as a field leader" Night Wing replied
"Because it's Gamma and you're not excepting trouble" Robin asked raising an eyebrow. "Or is it because we're stretched thin and you have no choice"
"Just don't die ok" Night Wing asked thinking back to Jason he didn't want to lose another brother Robin eyes went wide was there something he was missing. "And no unnecessary risks to the squad that's an order"
Robin merely nodded he knew how serious this mission was especial with how Night Wing was acting
New Orleans January 4, 21:59 CST
Gamma Squad parked the Bio-Ship above a junk yard and located the source of the Zeta radiation as they floated above it
"A tool shed there's barely enough room for one Zeta Tube in there" Lagoon exclaimed with a sigh as he leaned back in the pilot's seat letting go of the controls he crossed his arms with a annoyed look on his face. "I knew we got the soft gig"
"And yet I'm strangely ok with that" Beetle stated relieved as he leaned back hands behind his head scarab began speaking to him. "Yes I am…Yes I Am…YES I AM"
"Um" Lagoon began as both he and Robin stared at like he was completely insane Robin shook it off and contacted the Cave a holographic screen appeared in front of him
"Gamma Squad to Cave we're in position" Robin told Mal
"Acknowledged Gamma all Team squads and Justice League units are in place and ready its go time" Mal stated Gamma squad opened the Bio-Ship's bay door they leapt down onto a stack of cars across from the shed Robin glanced over at Beetle and nodded who returned it he raised his hand creating his sonic canon aiming it at the shed and fired the weapon completely obliterated the wooden structure scatting tools, wood and a ladder Lagoon jumped down and landed in the rut Beetle made he glanced around as his teammates came to edge Lagoon then kicked over the tool box sitting at his feet
"Congratulations Blue you took out an actually tool shed" the fish man stated in a sarcastic tone Robin raised his two fingers to his ears
"Gamma to Cave there's no Zeta Tube here no Kroloteans no hidden entrance nothing" Robin stated
"Watch Tower sensors still read trace Zeta Radiation from that site" Mal stated Robin pulled out a scanner connected to the Watch Tower it showed him where the radiation was
"Confirmed but the radiation signature is coming from…Below the water line" Robin stated he turned to Lagoon. "You're up Lagoon"
"You got it bird boy" Lagoon replied he was really hoping for some action luckily they weren't too far from the ocean Lagoon dove into the water swam to the bottom and found a hole cut into the wall that led to a metal door not natural Lagoon pressed his com signaling Robin and Beetle that it was safe (Note: Wait Lagoon doesn't even have ears to put a com in) behind him his teammate jump in together they swam into the cut hole where a hatch was continually opening a little bit then closing Lagoon knew he was up again his tattoo's glowed as he used his magic to expand his muscle mass grabbing the door Lagoon forced it open allowing them to swim through into a metal tube that was distinctly alien once they surfaced they discovered It was a huge base they had clearly been here for a while the three heroes quickly ducked behind cover
"This was a little more action then I was hoping for" Lagoon thought glancing around the base Robin raised two fingers to his ears
"Gamma to Cave we hit the mother load huge base alien tech multiple zeta uh platforms and more Kroloteans than I can count" Robin informed Mal
"Acknowledged we'll send back-up until then lay low" Mal replied
"That might be a problema Ese" Beetle stated pointing toward a holo screen that had them on it the three looked back to see a bug drone camera recording them all the Krolotean's turned toward the intruders and rushed toward them
"Soft gig huh" Beetle asked
Mount Justice
"Beta to Cave we found a zeta platform the kind Adam Strange described there were two Krolotean's here but they Zeta beamed away before we could apprehend them no human prisoners" Bat Girl informed
"Acknowledged destroy the platform and report back" Mal replied
"Alpha to Cave one platform now non-operational one Krolotean escaped zero abductees" Night Wing informed Mal paused and taped his chin in thought
"League units are getting the same results ditto with Beta" Mal stated
"What about Gamma?" Night Wing asked worried Mal nervously glanced to the side
"Yeah about them…"
Gamma Squad
The Krolotean's ran at the heroes screeching Beetle and Lagoon glanced at Robin he narrowed his eyes and jumped up grabbed his bo staff
"Form up Blue you have our six" the boy wonder ordered Lagoon jumped up next to them
"Si hermano" Blue replied
"Stay liquid minnows" Lagoon quipped he and Robin charged the aliens by leaping into the fry Robin kicked one in midair then hit three others with his bo behind him Lagoon grew in size and slammed the ground as Robin continued to fend them off with his electric bo and martial arts he tossed three exploding pellets at a group of them Lagoon ripped the ground sending a large group flying Beetle men while gave cover fire with a sonic canon knocking the aliens back he then blasted the ones running at Lagoon Krolotean leader finally noticed Blue he began screeching in fear most of ran to the Zeta platform to escape Lagoon shrank back down and threw the alien that were clinging to him away
"They really don't like you I'm a little jealous" he commented the scarab began speaking to him again as the leader was typing something in
"HE SAID WHAT?" Beetle shouted
"I said I'm a little jealous DON'T RUB IT IN" Lagoon replied tossing away two more Kroloteans
"Not you pescado that Jefe over there" Beetle stated pointing to the commander
"Wait you can understand these things this screeching How?" Robin asked as he continued fending off Kroloteans with his Bo
"I-I don't know exactly but I can and that Jefe is ordering all the Kroloteans to Zeta off world he's setting the base to self-destruct in four minutes" Beetle stated
"Then we're getting out of here" Robin ordered backing up to the water. "Is there anything else I should know?"
"Jefe said something about sacrificing the play things below" Beetle replied landing
"Play things?...Oh man the abductees" Robin realized
"Three minutes thirty seconds Líder then BOOM!" Beetle reminded
"And Night Wing said unnecessary to the Squad" Robin thought his morality kicked in. "But this is necessary"
"Below we have to get below" Robin ordered Lagoon looked to other side of the room and pointed to a bunch of tubes the aliens were crawling up
"There"
"Blue one point Go" Robin ordered
"Got it going" Beetle replied forming his wings he took off toward the tubes his hands formed into a ram he rushed through the aliens they reached the bottom in moments knocking one Krolotean down
"Grab him" Robin ordered Beetle picked up the Krolotean they knocked down
"HELLO IS SOMEONE THERE PLEASE GET US OUT" a Guy yelled Robin immediately ran around the comer to find a cage filled with people
"It's Robin" another guy said
"The boy wonder" a woman added Lagoon and Beetle came running up behind Robin
"MORE ALIENS"
"Hey we're not aliens" Beetle stated as he stopped running he then glanced to the Krolotean in his hand and remembered he was carrying an alien. "Ok well he is but we're not"
"Get this open" Robin ordered he moved out of the way allowing Lagoon to grow and rip the cage in half freaking the people inside out Lagoon shrank back down
"Thank you we didn't mean to-"the real Tseng began
"Its fine I get that a lot chum" Lagoon interrupted Robin then turned to Beetle
"Ask him the fastest way out of here" Robin ordered
"Dude I don't speak the-wait you can what are you waiting for" Beetle said Lagoon walked up next to the boy wonder
"Blue's an odd little isn't he" the fish man commented Beetle began speaking to the Krolotean who replied and pointed Beetle turned to his teammates and attempted to tell them he coughed switching back to English
"I mean this way come on" he ordered leading his Squad and the civilians to the exist with seconds left they escaped behind them the junk yard blew up moments after Robin, Beetle and the civilians surfaced Robin glanced around
"Where's Lagoon" Robin asked pulling the rebreather out of his mouth a half a second later the fish man broke the surface with arms raised in victory
"THAT'S RIGHT GAMMA SQUAD RULES" Lagoon cheered Robin just sighed in relief
"Uh…hey Rob we got company" Beetle suddenly said Robin looked in the direction Blue was to see Super Man, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter and the Hawks (Note: Yes War Hawk to) were descending from the sky a gust of powerful wind picked up behind them they turned to see Red Tornado, Zatanna, Icon, Rocket, Captain Marvel, Captain Atom and Green Lantern John and Dr Fate then came in carrying Green Arrow, Plastic Man, Black Canary, Black Lightning, Bat Man, Aqua Man and The Flash and last but not least Night Wing flew in on the Super Cycle with Wonder Girl, Bat Girl, Bumblebee and Wolf Gamma exchange a worried glance
"Dude way to get your feet wet" Night Wing commented Robin smirked in response

"Whoa"
