Hello everyone. This is officially the start of my new story. It will take place a few months after Season 1. When I saw Season 2, I lost interest when I saw Aqualad being a traitor but later realize he is a mole and how Kid Flash died in the last episode. But I did like the new characters introduced. Anyways, let's get started!
Prologue
It has been months since The Team saved the Justice League from Vandal Savage's control. During that time, The Team had been successful in every mission they have taken. After they saved the League, everyone was more confident in their skills and believed that their abilities have improved. But all that will change sooner or later.
It was 6:30 pm on June 9 when The Team was in the living room picking a movie to see. School was out for the young heroes and they were going to enjoy their first summer together. As Kid Flash was looking at the choices of movies, he said "I think we should see a horror movie."
Artemis shook her head and said "No way, I don't want to start off summer with a scary movie. I want to see something that we all will enjoy."
Just then, the computer said "Recognize: Batman, Red Tornado."
"We will have to wait on that," Aqualad said, "Looks like we have a mission."
When Aqualad said that, The Team got up from their seats and headed towards the briefing room. Once they got there, they saw Batman and Red Tornado standing there. As The Team was near them, Batman looks at them and said "Glad to know you are all present. We have a mission for all of you."
Red Tornado then brought up the screen and showed an image of a 6' muscular robot with a metallic skull for a head. This was one of Superman's enemies, Metallo, a robot who uses Kryptonite as its main power source.
Batman then said "We have reason to believe that Metallo is going to strike Star Labs tonight. We need you all to confirm that by staking out the place and find anything suspicious. If you do encounter Metallo, contact the League before anything happens."
When everyone agreed, Red Tornado said "This is a powerful foe. I don't want anyone of you to fight him, especially Superboy."
As Superboy raised an eyebrow, Miss Martian said "I get it, since Metallo has Kryptonite, then Superboy would be weak against him."
Superboy huffed and said "I can take him."
"I said to contact the League," Batman said, "Metallo is far too powerful. Understood?"
As The Team nodded once more, Batman said "You all leave right now and help the scientists set up defenses."
Once he said that, The Team left and started to get dressed in their uniforms. After that, they all walked to Miss Martian's ship and took off into the distance. On their way, Rocket said "Why do you think this Metallo guy want to attack Star Labs?"
Robin replied "Star Labs has secured technology in there. Many have tried to steal some of its technology, but none of them succeeded."
Zatanna thought about it and said "So…This Metallo is going to attack Star Labs because he can't have its technology?"
Everyone thought about it and Robin said "Appears so."
Superboy then said "So what's the plan to take down this Metallo?"
Aqualad shook his head and said "You heard what Batman said; we are not to engage in battle with Metallo."
"He said we can't fight him," Artemis said, "But we can delay him from attacking Star Labs until the League gets there."
Kid Flash then said "Besides, we can handle ourselves. I mean, we did save the entire League from Vandal Savage."
"But we had help," Miss Martian said, "Without Red Tornado, Black Canary and Red Arrow, we wouldn't have done it."
"Still," Kid Flash said, "I think we are strong enough to beat this Metallo."
Miss Martian sigh and said "Alright, but Conner can't fight him since Metallo will have Kryptonite."
Superboy said "I can handle myself."
Aqualad then said "You cannot. Remember, Kryptonite weakens Superman, which can weaken you too."
Artemis said "Let's just focus on helping the scientists setting up the defenses. And if we encounter Metallo, we contact the League and hold him off until they get to Star Labs."
"Sounds like a plan," Robin said, "Just hope it goes well."
Unknown to them, that their plan will fail and everything will fall apart.
It has been 4 hours since The Team had arrived at Star Labs. Once they got there, everyone had different roles as they were helping setting up the defenses. The Team split up into two teams: Team A consists of Artemis, Robin, Rocket and Miss Martian who patrolled outside the labs to see if Metallo will attack from the outside while Team B consists of Aqualad, Superboy, Kid Flash and Zatanna were inside the labs to protect the scientists.
As Team B was walking about, Aqualad said in their telepathic link "How is the perimeter?"
Rocket replied "All good out here. No sign of Metallo."
Robin then said "Don't forget, according to the records, this guy can disguise himself as a person and he could sneak in."
Miss Martian said "I could try to read his mind. If he is a machine, then I wouldn't read his mind and we will have him."
"Do that," Aqualad said, "We will need all the help we need."
At that moment, one of the scientist said "I would like to thank you for assisting us. When we heard that this Metallo person is going to attack us, we became afraid."
"It's no problem," Kid Flash said in a confident way, "We handle situations like this."
As the scientist smiled and thanked them, Superboy said "What I don't get is why Metallo wants to attack Star Labs? There are technologies to steal."
The scientist replied "True that there are plenty of technologies to steal, but as you can see, the defenses will prevent him from entering."
Curious, Zatanna said "So…what kind of things you are creating at the moment?"
The scientist replied "For one thing, some of the scientists have created a full-function jetpack."
Kid Flash's eyes widen and said "Oh!"
But the scientist said "But it hasn't be fully tested yet."
"Anything else?" Aqualad asked.
The scientist thought about it and said "In a matter of fact, we have created a device that can amplify any energy; we call it the Energy Amplifier. We tend to use it for constructive uses, but we didn't have the time. Right now, it is being tested."
As they were talking, in the other side of the building, there were a few scientists that were analyzing the Energy Amplifier. The Energy Amplifier was a mini-cannon that was resting on a table inside a room that was connected to several wires. On the other side of the room, three scientists were on the controllers and were ready to test it. Once everything was ready, one of the scientists pushed a button and the Energy Amplifier started to power-up. In a matter of seconds, the Energy Amplifier fired a blast of energy towards the target, a block of stone, and it exploded.
As two of them were taking notes, one of them said "Looks like it works."
The other one said "Now that we tested it, let's return this to the vault."
They all then unplugged the Energy Amplifier and placed it on top of a rolling table. After a few minutes of transporting the device, the scientists arrived at the vault. When they were about to open it, the last scientist said "Let me handle this. You guys go on ahead."
When the other scientists nodded, they left the last one alone. When the scientist took out a keycard, he swiped it and the vault opened. Once it was fully opened, the scientist walked in as the vault closed. Inside the vault was full of advance weapons. The scientist smiled and said "Perfect."
All of a sudden, the scientist's body started to twitch and their body started to tear apart. The body started to grow 6' tall and metallic muscles started to grow. It was none other than Metallo!
Metallo laughed and said "That went perfectly. Now time for some upgrades."
He then grab a hold on the Energy Amplifier with his right hand and his hand started to merge with the device as it was starting to change into his own. Once the device was completely covered with Metallo's metal, four large fingers appeared at the end of the barrel and the energy started to glow green.
As he looks around, Metallo said "Now what else am I going to add?"
Team B couldn't believe how many weapons there were in Star Labs' vault. Titanium armor, heat seeking missiles, even laser cannons! Superboy then said "Is it really necessary to make all these weapons?"
The scientist replied "They are for the defenses. We are being invaded constantly and we have to be well armed."
Kid Flash sighed and said "Whatever works for you."
Wanting to hear from the other team, Aqualad said "Anything yet?"
Miss Martian replied "Still nothing. Maybe the information was false?"
Robin replied "No way, Batman is never wrong. If he says that Metallo is going to show, then he will show."
"But we have been waiting for hours," Artemis said, "If nothing happens in the next five seconds, I am going to scream!"
All of a sudden, there was a huge explosion on the other side of the building. Kid Flash then said "Well babe, looks like we are going to have some action after all."
"That's impossible," Rocket said, "We were on patrol for hours! Where did it come from?"
As Superboy used his super-hearing, his eyes widen and said "It came from the inside!"
Alerted, Team B made their way towards the explosion. Once they got there, they were standing at the now destroyed vault as Metallo walked out with a few upgrades. He was now standing over 8' tall, his back was slightly hunchback and his right arm was bigger that the left one. Everyone gasped and Zatanna said in a terrified way "Metallo?! But…how did you get in?!"
Metallo chuckled and said "I just disguised myself and walked in."
Superboy growled as he charged towards him. As Superboy was near him, Metallo's chest opens and revealed his Kryptonite Heart. In an instant, Superboy was starting to become weak and fell to his knees. Metallo then swings his right fist and sends Superboy flying into the ceiling and out of Star Labs. And after he sends Superboy flying, Metallo closed his chest. Deciding to do something, Kid Flash readies himself and used his Superspeed towards Metallo, hoping to knock him down. But due to Metallo's body armor, when Kid Flash collided, he was quickly knocked down.
Metallo laughed and said "Is that the best you got?"
Zatanna raised her hands towards the ceiling and said "Gnirb eht gniliec nwod no mih!"
At that moment, the ceiling above Metallo fell down on him. As she smiled at her success, the crumbles started to move and Metallo stood up unharmed. The machine laughed and said "My turn."
All of a sudden, his shoulders popped up and missile launchers appeared and aimed at Zatanna. Targeting her, Metallo launched several missiles at her. Just then, Aqualad pulled out his Waterbearers and created a water wall to protect them. When the missiles made contact, it released a powerful explosion that knocked Aqualad and Zatanna away. As that happen, Robin, Artemis, Miss Martian and Rocket appeared behind Metallo.
"How the hell did that metal head get in here?!" Artemis yelled.
Robin replied "I don't know, but I am contacting the League."
He then taps on his wrist to use this communication link and said "Batman, Metallo is here in Star Labs! We need back up!"
But all Robin could hear on the other end is static. Pressing his buttons, Robin said "What's going on? The communication is messed up."
At that moment, Metallo said "That's because I used the communication disrupter to knock out any communication."
Miss Martian said "I don't get it. Why are you doing this?"
Metallo then turns to them and said "To test out my new upgrades so that I can use them against Superman."
"Isn't that a bit overkill for us?" Rocket asked.
Metallo shrugged and said "Pretty much."
He then raised his right hand and fired a massive blast of green energy at them. Rocket flew in front of Robin at the others and set up a shield to protect them. When the blast collided with Rocket's shield, she was barely holding on as Metallo was continuing firing. Behind Metallo, Aqualad and Zatanna got up and Aqualad swings his Waterbearers at him and wrapped his neck and released a blast of electricity. But Metallo remains unfazed from Aqualad's attack. Stopping his attack on Rocket and the others, Metallo turns to Aqualad and points his right hand at him. But Miss Martian points her hands at the machine and levitated Metallo off the ground. However, Metallo looks at Miss Martian, opens his mouth an unleashed a powerful sonic scream at Miss Martian, which caused her to cover her ears and dropped Metallo to the ground.
Metallo laughed and said "There is nothing you can to do stop me now."
Just then, Superboy appeared behind and wrapped his arms around Metallo. Superboy said "Let's take this outside, shall we?"
Once he said that, Superboy leaps into the air with Metallo as they left Star Labs. When they were gone, Kid Flash got up and said "How are we going to contact the League?!"
Robin analyzed his wrist comm and said "If I can fix the problem then I can send a signal to Batman."
Aqualad said "Do it. Meanwhile, we will hold off Metallo."
"Aw man," Kid Flash, "This guy is tough."
Zatanna then said "We have to before he ends up destroying everything."
Kid Flash sighed and said "Fine, how long is it going to take to fix that?"
Robin replied "Give me five minutes."
Artemis said "Then let's go help Superboy."
When they all agreed, everyone made their way outside to fight Metallo while Robin fixes the communication. But even if Robin fixes the communication, the League will not make in time to help The Team. And if the League shows up, Metallo is too powerful to be stopped. It will take more than the League to stop Metallo.
In the far distance of the galaxy, there was a flash of light travel through space in an intense speed. The direction it was heading, this light was making its way to Earth. A closer look in the light, it was actually a small dome-shape spaceship with a circular window. Inside this ship held a being so powerful, they alone can wipe out an entire city with a wave of his hand. And as the ship was making its way to Earth, everyone's lives will change forever.
And that is all for now! Next time: my OC Saiyan character will be introduced!
