Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter stationed themselves in Metropolis. While Martian Manhunter was fighting off his brother Wonder Woman was battling through hordes of Brainiac's drones. Animals started to turn up on the street and Wonder Woman knew where they were coming from. She took off into the air and looked around the area until she found the center of attention, Circe. Wonder Woman lands down near her, glaring. "Restore these men Sorceress or will I have to make you?"
"Oh relax Diana. You can join them too, I have just the spell." Circe smirks.
"Your fate has been decided upon."
Wonder Woman flew towards Circe but was jumped and tackled to the floor by another familiar face, Cheetah. Wonder Woman was caught off guard and Cheetah gave her a good slash across her cheek, licking the blood. Wonder Woman grabs Cheetah by the tail and flings her against a wall. "Your distraction won't last." She says to Circe.
"It'll last me plenty." Circe watches the scene unfold.
Cheetah charged at Wonder Woman and jumped forward, swinging her claws at her. Wonder Woman rose her shield to deflect the claws, sweeping Cheetah's feet and knocking her over. Cheetah's tail wrapped around her leg and pulled Wonder Woman down, jumping up and hitting Wonder Woman with a elbow to the face. Wonder Woman pushes her off, rising up quickly. Cheetah got up as well and the two engaged into combat once more, exchanging blow after blow to each other.
Wonder Woman ended the combat by throwing Cheetah through a wall. She went for Circe next but she brought up a energy shield. Wonder Woman bashed on the shield in an attempt to break it. Martian Manhunter was struggling a little himself, despite him and his brother being evenly matched. Malefic slams him through a building and pins him down. A missile crashed near them and the explosion knocked Malefic back, burning him a little. Batman swoops down from the roof and leaves knock out gas for Malefic, taking John and leaving to help Wonder Woman.
Circe and Wonder Woman were having a fierce sword duel, which was interrupted by the two other heroes. Clearly outmatched, Circe teleports away. "She got away!" Wonder Woman cursed.
"We have more important things to worry about." John insisted.
"John is right. Whatever this threat is, we need to figure out it's motive."
"We don't have much time. The other cities are in danger." Wonder Woman pointed out.
"The others are handling it. But to insure safety, spilt up and check the other cities. Call in once you are sure the cities are secured. Then we will devise our plan." Batman informs.
The three agree and spread out once more to check the other cities. Green Lantern resided in his home, Coast City. He was flying around the city and battling with his ex, Star Sapphire. "Can we work this out another time? I have a city to protect you know."
"I'm going to crush you Jordan, so then you will watch your city fall with it's hero." Star Sapphire snapped at him.
"I guess make up sex is out of the picture?"
Star Sapphire formed a hand construct and crushed Hal. He fought back and broke out of the construct, forming a bat and smacking Star Sapphire across town. "Homerun!" Hal declares with a grin, flying after her and catching the now unconscious Carol. "One day this'll pass by.." He sets her down. "Everything is clear here, maybe I should check on Atlantis.." Hal decided and flew off, bolting towards the water. He forms a bubble and dives underwater, heading towards Atlantis.
Batman was flying off to the next city when Alfred called him. "Sir, your parents grave is under attack." He said. Batman froze, and everything he had planned was soon wiped away.
"I'll be right there."
In seconds Batman flew into the city and stormed towards the graveyard. The grave was dug up a bit but whoever had did it left mid-way. A sharp pain entered Batman's side, Circe showing up unexpectedly and stabbing him. Batman falls over and Scarecrow walks over next. "My theory must've been correct. Attack the grave of Gotham's biggest family, and out comes the Batman. It's almost like you were related to them… Bruce Wayne." Batman pushes Circe aside and goes for Scarecrow, ready to beat the hell out of him. Circe intervenes and pulls him back roughly, Batman falling to the floor. "Get him to the ship, one less hero to damper our parade." Scarecrow instructs Circe.
Nightwing and Robin had also been alerted by Alfred, but by the time they arrived only Scarecrow was there. "What did you do to him?! Where is he?!" Robin lunges towards Scarecrow and punches him up against the gate. Scarecrow swung his sickle but Robin ducked and stabbed him next.
"Enough!" Nightwing stops him before he could murder Scarecrow.
"Where did she take him?!" Robin asks harshly.
Down at Atlantis Aquaman's army was dealing with the drones, while Aquaman himself was fighting his brother Orm. "What is the meaning behind this?" Aquaman asks.
"In time all will unravel. For now I will defeat you, take your throne, and your wife.."
"Watch your words, or else you'll end up with a hook hand. Or worse." Aquaman warns.
"I'd like to see you try!"
The two push against each other, trident to trident. "There is only one way this'll end. With me taking over as the rightful leader of Atlantis!" Orm declares. A green Battle Ram steps in and slams Orm across the floor.
"I believe this city has a ruler. You, more tyrant i'd say." Green Lantern walked in.
"Thank you." Aquaman nods to him.
"My pleasure your highness. Need a hand?"
"That would be welcomed."
"Alright, then let's kick some ass!"
