Time for the next chapter of SuperStorm! I want to thank you gemm1mt and superfan for reviewing! And everyone who has fav'd or are now following this story. Note that because Diane/Wonder Women isn't called Wonder Women until a later episode she will just be Diane.
I still own nothing but the plot
Normal pov
On Themyscira
Diane wearing a robe that completely covers her body enters the temple of Athena. Looking around to make sure no one else was around she makes to the alter where a set of armor, a lasso and tiara were laid out.
"Mother forgive me." Diane prays as she takes off the robe and puts the armor on.
Cut back to the military base
"It's them." J'onn says as the group stares at the white aliens.
Without warning the aliens attack with their blasters hitting Superman knocking him into a tank, Storm then strikes at a group of them with some lightning causing the tanks next to them to explode.
"Stay down." Batman says to J'onn as he throws out a Bat-a-rang that explodes where some more of the white aliens were located causing a lot of smoke to fill the air.
"Behind you!" J'onn yells phasing through Batman to get to the aliens sneaking up behind the bat, he takes the hit meant for Batman and it knocks him down, Batman quickly throws another Bat-a-rang at his would be attacker.
"J'onn are you-" Batman begins to ask the green alien whom was now groaning in pain. "Hang on!"
"Get him to safety." Superman said now holding up a tank to block the blast from hitting them. "I'll cover for you."
Batman carries J'onn over to the Batjet where he seats J'onn down before getting into the pilot seat then taking off.
"They're safe let's go." Storm says flying after the Batjet.
Superman then chunks the tank at the white aliens which causes the base to explode and then flies after Storm and the Batjet.
"That was close." Batman says to J'onn from inside of the Batjet.
"We're not safe yet. Look." J'onn says as now a fleet of flying crafts seemed to be in hot pursuant of the four heroes.
The flying crafts began attacking the Batjet with its blasters but Batman manages to dodge the first attack. The flying crafts keep following and attacking the Batjet as Batman kept trying to maneuver around them. Superman then flies into the group of crafts and brings one down causing it to explode but then one of the crafts focuses its attention on Superman pointing it's blasters at him intending to knock him into a mountain, but Storm hits the craft with lightning knocking the craft down before it could manage to do so.
"How many times do you have to be knocked down until you realize that just flying in and punching them doesn't work?!" Storm shouts from the air then quickly flies after the others that were still after the Batjet. Storm manages to strike two more crafts down but then three of them started focusing their blasters on her. Storm found herself surrounded as all three of them were about to hit her at once but Superman came and pushed her out of the way causing them to destroy themselves.
"How many times are you going to nearly give me a heart attack because you put yourself in danger?!" Superman shouts in the air in front of Storm.
The rest of the flying crafts continue to go after the Batjet despite Batman's best maneuvering a blast finally managing to hit one of the jet's wings, it begins to spiral down just as it was about to crash it is saved by a green glow.
"What happened?" Batman says clearly confused by the green glow.
"Help has arrive." J'onn answered, the both look up to see that it was a Green Lantern that had come to their aid.
While Green Lantern aka John Stewart was holding the jet with his ring two of the crafts were about to attack him when a hawk woman with a mace flown to his aid, she flown towards the craft hitting two with her mace and destroying them.
"Hawkgirl?" Batman says in surprise. "What's she doing here?" He asked turning to question J'onn but the green alien had phased out of the jet just as Superman and Storm flow onto the scene.
J'onn now flying beside Green Lantern, Storm and Superman flies towards the flying crafts. "Sorry I'm late there was an uprising at Reyjlew nine." Green Lantern says to the group.
The five flying super heroes then move to attack the flying crafts, each of them taking on one craft Superman grabs a hold of a craft and swings it into a mountain, Storm sucks one into a tornado which makes the craft spin out of control and crash into the ground, Green Lantern uses his ring to destroy a craft. Hawkgirl uses her mace hitting it twice to make a craft explode onto the ground, and J'onn makes himself intangible and as a few crafts try to hit him with their blasters they end up destroying themselves.
From the ground Batman watches on as the flying heroes take down the crafts luckily he was able to jump out of the way of a craft that was falling near him. Hawkgirl was flying away from a craft that was trying to hit her when it blasted at a cliff next to her causing her and some rocks to fall down.
"Allow me." Diane says as she also came onto the scene, using her bracelets she is able to block the blast from hitting her and Hawkgirl. Green Lantern then comes onto the scene using his ring to create a protective barrier over them just as a craft was about to crashed into them.
"Who's the rookie in the tiara?" Green Lantern asked Superman who was holding up a craft.
"I'm not sure." Superman answered then throws the craft away destroying it.
"Thanks." Hawkgirl says as Diane helps her back up.
Having taken care of the flying crafts the six flying heroes fly back to Batman just as the Flash runs towards him holding up the Batjet's broken wing. "Hey Bats I think you dropped this." Flash says then turning to look at Diane. "Whoa! Where have you been all my life?"
"Themyscira." Diane answered honestly much to Flashes confusion.
"The home of the Amazons?" Storm asked from next to Superman.
"Yes! How did you-" Diane turns to look at Storm something seemed to click with the both of them when they saw each other. "Princess?"
"Yes." Storm answered nodding her head. "Princess?"
"Yes." Diane answers excitedly.
The two female lock hands together bowing to each other respectfully. "Sisters." They said at the same time.
"What just happened?" Flash asked turning to face Superman but he just shrugged just as confused.
"I thought Themyscira was merely a legend." Hawkgirl says as she lands to where the other heroes were.
"I can assure you it's as real as the ground on which we stand." Diane explains. "I am Diane Princess of the Amazons."
"Pinch me I must be dreaming." Flash says dramatically causing Superman to elbow him. "Ow!"
"Themyscira is protected by the gods, but I could not stand idly by while the world was in danger." Diane says explaining why she came.
"It was Lucky you showed up when you did." Superman says gratefully.
"We certainly need all the help we can get." Storm adds in nodding her head in agreement.
"No it wasn't luck." J'onn states. "I telepathically summoned them."
"Look I'm usually pretty quick on the up take, but would someone please tell me what the heck is going on here?" Flash asked with that question asked the group turn their attention to J'onn.
"So J'onn J'onzz you came from mars to warn us?" Diane asked after Superman was done fixing the Batjet with his heat vision.
"This is just too weird." Flash says.
"I've seen stranger things." Green Lantern counters.
"I've been through so much strange things that now I need a new word for it." Storm adds on with a shrug.
"We first encountered them a thousand of your earth years ago." J'onn begins to explain.
Flashback to Mars
We see a beautiful Martian society being watched by J'onn and his wife. "It was a golden age our Martian civilization was at the height of its peace and prosperity and then they arrived." Suddenly the sky turns bright as these beings fell from the sky appearing as though they were flames.
"Where they came from no one knew. But they were determined to make our planet their own." The Martian could only watch in horror as everything they built over generations was being destroyed.
"We Martians were peaceful people and the taking of any life was a horrent to us." A Martian knowing that he had no choice but to go against everything he stood for to save his race throws an explosive at the alien's machine and destroys it. "But we quickly learned the ways of war."
"For centuries the battles raged on, every trance of our once great civilization was obliterated we fought valiantly but the invaders were parasites who fed on our psychic energy as we grew weaker they grew stronger they even absorbed our shape-shifting abilities." The Martians could do nothings as they were captured and drained of their abilities and knowledge.
"Finally a small group of Martian survivors planned one final desperate attack." The small group which included J'onn ran into the white alien's stronghold to get rid of them once and for all battling them with everything they had.
"Inside their underground stronghold we unleashed a powerful nerve gas which paralyzed them." J'onn threw a device that held the paralyzing nerve gas but sadden to see that no other Martian left besides himself. "The attack was successful but the cost was dear, I was the only survivor. The last of my kind. I sealed up their underground chamber to keep them in a constant state of suspended animation."
End flashback
"For over five hundred years I stood guard over them." J'onn continues to explain. "But then while I was in a hibernation cycle astronauts from earth unsealed the stronghold and accidently revived the invaders."
"Wait those astronauts never said anything about finding life on Mars." Flash points outs in a skeptical tone.
"Hmm, some pencil pusher in Washington probably decided it should be classified information." Green Lantern explains.
"No." Storm says shaking her head and the other heroes wait for her to explain. "The invaders absorbed the Martian's ability to shape-shift. So then the only logically thing would be to get rid of the astronauts and take their place."
"This does make sense." J'onn says taking in her information. "With all the Martian's gone the invaders had nothing to feed upon. So they turned their sights to earth. I barely escaped and came to warn of the coming danger but was captured instead. While I was being held against my well the invaders sent advance agents to disable earth's defense."
"That's why they sabotaged the deep space monitoring network." Batman says finally seeing all the pieces in place. "So we couldn't detect their identities."
"We've got to stop them before it's too late." Green Lantern says with determination.
"It may already be too late." J'onn says evenly.
Cut to news report
"This is Snapper Carr reporting live from ground zero in Metropolis. Where the alien walkers continue to clear the area around the impact sight." Snapper Carr reports. "General Wells our military seems unable to stop them? Why?"
"All our big missiles have been disarmed and our self-proclaimed protector Superman has abandon us." General Well explains to the news reporter.
"Earlier Senator J. Allen Carter had this to say." Snapper Carr continues cutting to a clip.
"When I first purposed my peace initiative no one ever imaged we would face an invasion like this." Senator Carter begins to explain to the reporters. "Now we must stand together and resist this aggression!"
"Wait! We have a breaking development?" Snapper Carr says turning to face the carter. "Something is moving inside the carter."
Everyone could only watch in horror as an even bigger alien machine comes out of the carter.
"Oh, my lord!" General Wells says in disbelief as the much larger machine begins to drill a hole into the ground this new machine doesn't attack but it does start admitting a cloud of smoke and lightning into the air.
Back to the heroes.
"What was that?" Diane asked the group having heard the machine even from where they were located.
"It's begun." J'onn says evenly.
From the mountains the eight heroes watched as the thundering clouds got bigger and bigger until it completely covered the sky.
"What are they doing?" Hawkgirl asked clearly confused.
"The invaders are nocturnal they want to block out the sun. So that they could live in perpetual darkness." J'onn explained.
"Friend of yours?" Flash asked Batman.
"It's no joke." Batman proclaimed.
"What's the big problem?" Flash questions while getting in front of J'onn. "Can't you just whip up another batch of that nerve gas?"
"Unfortunately no, the gas can only be made from a rare Martian plant." J'onn explained to the group. "I brought a sample with me but it was destroyed when I was captured."
"Storm can't you part the clouds?" Batman asked looking up at the sky.
"Good idea." Superman says nodding his head in agreement.
"It would be except these clouds are not organic in nature at all." Storm states shaking her head at the group. "I can't get a lock on their electromagnetic field which means I can't do anything to change them."
"Uh, what's plan B?" Flash then asked.
"We'll have to take out those factories." Diane states.
"Lady, this is no job for amateurs." Green Lantern said.
"We Amazons are warriors born!" Diane states feeling insulted. "Want to test me?" she challenged.
"Let's not fight among ourselves." Superman says breaking them up. "John, we're going to need all the help we can get."
"He's right now isn't the time." Storm says in a serious tone. "First things first is to find out where the factories are located." Storm starts to use her psychic bond with the earth to find the factories only to end up groaning in pain.
"Storm?!" Superman yells in a panic tone he rushes to her side just as she was about to knee over. "What's wrong?"
"The factories are causing a great disruption to the earth and therefore disturbing my link to the earth." Storm explains as Superman helps her back up.
"Isn't that the source of your powers?" Batman questions in as much of a worried tone as he could produce.
"It is a source." Storm answers honestly. "But it's not the primary source I will be fine to continue."
"I don't know maybe you should-" Superman begins to say in a worried tone.
"Don't you dare finish that sentence Kal-El!" Storm warns poking him in the chest. "You're the one that needs the sun more than anyone here not me!" After that was said she walked away from the kryptonian. "I was able to locate three factories one in Metropolis, one in Egypt and one in the Amazon rainforest."
"Well then I guess we know who wears the tights in this relationship. Am I right?" Flash joked to no one's amusement.
"Anyway." Green Lantern states breaking the awkward silence. "Tactically, we'll have multiple objectives. We'll need to split into teams."
"Dibs on the Amazon!" Flash says excitedly as he runs and wraps in arm around her much to her surprise.
"No." Green Lantern says sternly shaking his head.
"You're no fun." Flash pouts.
"Superman and Hawkgirl can go for the one in Metropolis." Storm states taking charge. "J'onn, Diane and Batman can go after the one in Egypt which leaves myself, Green Lantern and Flash to go after on in the Amazon rainforest."
"You picked to go with me over Superman?!" Flash says with a smug grin using super speed he now stand next to her with his arm wrapped around her. "I knew this day would come!"
"Keep your hands to yourself Flash!" Superman says in an annoyed tone pulling the younger hero away from Storm.
"Excuse me but who put you in charge?" Green Lantern asked narrowing his eyes at Storm.
"How many people here can say that they've lead a team of heroes before?" Storm questions back, but before Green Lantern could say anything she spoke up again. "And I mean heroes whom had their own separate powers and abilities not a group of different people who still had the same powers or trained the exact same way?"
Cut to Amazon rainforest
"That's our target." Green Lantern says as the other two heroes as they hid away from the invaders sight. "Now listen here's the plan-"
"What plan?" Flash asked in a confused tone. "We kick their butts right? Let's get this over with." Before either Green Lantern or Storm could stop him Flash quickly ran towards the machine.
"My goddess he really is just like him." Storm whispered shaking her head.
Flash reaches one of the alien machines and whistles to gain its attention. "Hey over here!" Flash yelled waving his arms, the alien machine then tries to hit Flash with a beam but he got out of the way. "Ha missed me!" Flash then starts using super speed to run under the alien machines legs each of them try to hit him but miss, Flash super speeds towards the factor but falls into a booby trap before he can make it there.
"Fool." Green Lantern and Storm say at the same time from where they were watching the younger hero struggle to get out of the trap as one of the alien machines started approaching him. "Hang on hot shot." Green Lantern says as he and Storm fly in to save him, he used his ring to take out one of the machine's legs causing it to lose balance and fall.
"Ha, I'm kind of stuck here." Flash says sheepishly to Storm as she floated in front of him with an annoyed look on her face.
"I can see that." Storm says evenly using her powers she flash freeze the goo surrounding him once that was done she pulled him out.
"Thanks." Flash says in a still sheepish tone.
"I hope the others are having better luck then we are." Green Lantern says in an annoyed tone.
Cut to Egypt
Batman, and Diane were hidden from sight much to Diane's displeasure.
"Hiding like cowards is not the Amazon way." Diane says.
"They must have a weakness." Batman begins to explain. "When we find it we'll strike."
"I have scouted the outer walls." J'onn states suddenly appearing before them. "There are no openings."
"Then we'll make our own." Diane says with determination flying towards one of the alien machines.
"Wait." Batman says stopping J'onn from going after her. "Let's see what she can do."
Diane while still flying wraps the legs of the alien machine around her lasso. "Hera give me strength!" She says using her strength she forces the legs to close together knocking the machine out of balance and into the base making a hole. "There's your opening." Diane points from on top of the fallen machine, she then jumps through the opening.
"Not bad." Batman states as he and J'onn follow after her, the get there to see Diane blocking the white aliens' attacks with her bracelet.
"They run like cowards." Diane says watching them run away. "What are you waiting for?"
Diane and J'onn run after them but Batman observes the fact that the aliens were avoiding the sun that was pouring down from the hole.
Cut to Metropolis
Hawkgirl and Superman had just about finished battling one of the alien machines when Superman cut off a leg and used it to make an opening into the factory. "Hawkgirl follow me!" Superman shouted flying inside. "Keep a sharp eye out."
"I always do." Hawkgirl says in an aggressive tone while looking around.
The two heroes were walking around the factory when three aliens started attacking them. "Stay back I'll-" Superman starts to says but instead of listening Hawkgirl goes charging in to attack. "Whoa." Superman says as he watches Hawkgirl defeat the group of whit aliens.
"What?" Hawkgirl says taking in Superman's disbelief look. "There's a time for words and there's a time for action." With that said Hawkgirl continues on with searching the factory.
Why didn't Ororo just pair us together? Superman thinks shaking his head as he follows after Hawkgirl.
Cut back to Amazon rainforest
"Of all the idiotic, bull-headed, glory grabbing moves haven't you ever heard of teamwork?" Green Lantern lectures to Flash in fury.
"Uh, maybe we should save the motivation speeches till later." Flash says just as one of the other alien machine shot a beam at the trio.
Green Lantern flies forward using his ring he makes a protective barrier around himself from the beams but then the aliens threw a yellow gas at him that got through the barrier and makes him go into a coughing fit.
Storm blows the wind around to clear up the smoke and finds that the Green Lantern has been knock out by the gas.
"GL!" Flash says in a worried tone he super speeds towards the fallen hero.
"Get him out of here Flash!" Storm says as more alien machines started attacking once more. "I'll hold them off."
With Storm holding off the two machine Flash was able to get out of there with the Green Lantern. Once she was sure they were defeated she then flew towards where Flash had gone.
Cut back to Metropolis
"They're close by I can almost smell them." Hawkgirl says holding up her mace aggressively and looking around.
"Are you always so eager to fight?" Superman asked.
"My homeworld, Thanagar is a war-like world." Hawkgirl explains narrowing her eyes at him. "There one must strike first or die." After that was said one of the white aliens attacked with a beam just missing the two heroes, Hawkgirl moves to go after them but the door closes before she could.
Superman turns to see the door behind him also closed soon the room starts filling up with yellow smoke causing Hawkgirl to fall into a coughing fit. "Hang on Hawkgirl I'll-" Superman begins to say intending to break down the door but gets electro shocked instead.
Cut back to Egypt
Diane was blocking the attacks of the white aliens. "They've block us off again."
"It's almost as if they know what we're thinking." Batman says he then pulls out his Bat-a-rang in their direction which scares them off. "Any ideas J'onn?" he asked turning to face the green alien but to only see said alien zone out as his eyes begin to glow. "J'onn?!"
"Superman and Hawkgirl are down." J'onn says in an even tone. "They have failed."
"What?" Diane says in surprise. "Are you sure?"
"I can sense it." J'onn said. "This way hurry!" J'onn warns just as more aliens were about to attack, the group runs away managing to avoid any attacks.
"We lost them." Diane says looking around to see no one behind the group.
"For the moment." Batman stated while taking out electric brass knuckles to put on his hand.
"Look." J'onn states getting the other two heroes attention. "It's the center core." He explained as the group watched as the other white aliens worked on the center core.
"How can we shut it down?" Batman asked.
"The ion matrix crystal." J'onn explains pointing to the crystal. "If we can remove that we'll shut down the whole plant. I'll need a diversion."
"Got it." Batman says throwing a Bat-a-rang at a tube causing it to spill with what looked to be black ink.
Diane taking Batman's lead then pulls another tube which caused smoke to fill the air. J'onn then uses the diversion to go intangible and head towards the crystal while the other two heroes fought the white aliens. J'onn manages to get said crystal which does stop the factory but he gets shot down before he could escape.
"J'onn?!" Diane says in a worried tone flying to check on him.
"Get him out." Batman yells still fighting off more white aliens. "Now!"
Diane picks J'onn up and starts flying for the exit, with Batman using his grappling hook to follow after them. Diane makes it out with J'onn just in time but Batman is left behind with the crystal, he tries to use the brass knuckles to escape but it does nothing.
"Batman!" Diane yells running to go after the other hero, the sound of blasters going off can be heard from her side of the door. "No!" She says in dismay moving to break down the door only for J'onn to stop her.
"Wait! There is nothing more we can do for him." J'onn said stopping her.
"You don't mean he's…?" Diane hesitated to ask.
"Gone." J'onn says in a dejected tone.
"Hera help us." Diane said in a shocked tone.
