SANTA PRISCA
June 19 00:43 ECT
A group of well armed red and black clad men all dressed in similar outfits rushed through a chemical factory in another section a group of men were being held at gun point from what seemed to be ever connectible angle however out of all of these men the one who stood out the most among the group was the one who stood taller than anyone else wearing a white and black wrestling mask he was simply known as Bane and was the leader of the entire place pushing the Illegal Venom Drug till these cultists came in.
"Nuestro sublime maestro proclama que se irá de esta instalación y esta isla si uno de ustedes derrota a su campeón en combate singular." the Leader of the group of red and black clad men said as he stood in front of a bar door which to an arena Bane simply pushed passed his men and walked by the leader to grab a hold of one of the metal bars.
"Solo hazlo interesante." Bane requested with a board tone confident he'd win as an siren sounded signaling the door would open allowing Bane to enter the arena the leader however smirked at the statement and tone across from Bane was a scrawny young man known as Mammoth, Mammoth was a lean, pale teenager with shocking red hair he was wearing a blue tank top that exposed his abdomen along with black skin tight pants and a black collar with a metal ring almost like a dogs caller behind him leaning was what could be assumed was his sister her named Shimmer a young Caucasian woman with short, red hair and green eyes the right half of her head is bald and adorned with a black Cobra-tattoo she had on blue lipstick and she also wore several earrings this caused Bane to raise an eyebrow he'd expect something much more than this.
"No pensé que sería tan fácil que parte de mí esperara una pelea real." Bane thought that's when he heard a clank sound behind him he looked to see the lead Guard had dropped his wrist apparatus on the ground by the door which he picked up as he turned,
"¿Me devuelves mi mejor arma? ¿Cuál es el truco?" Bane questioned his motives.
"Sin trampa, difícilmente pondría a prueba la destreza de los campeones si no estuvieras en tu mejor momento." the lead Guard replied as Bane strapped the apparatus to his wrist.
"¿Me quieres en mi mejor momento? Lo tienes." Bane stated connecting a clear tube to the back of his skull when he activated his wrist apparatus it began feeding a red liquid directly into his brain immediately Bane's muscles and body began expanding growing in until he was standing at six foot eight inches tall with a few heavy breaths Bane turned back to his opponent and cracked his neck Shimmer came up behind her brother with some kind of injector filled with a purple liquid inserted a needle straight into his arm and pulled the trigger sending the purple liquid into his bloodstream as soon as she removed the needle Mammoth bared his teeth as he stumbled forward before to dropping to his knees groans of pain escaping his lips his bones and muscles began painfully expanding ripping his shirt as his leg arm grew larger than the right with Mammoth yelled again as four of his teeth sharpened to a point.
"¿Qué es esta criatura?" Bane thought narrowing his eyes Mammoth's body finally ripped the shirt along with the caller as Shimmer shut the door behind her Mammoth was now done transforming he was down on his hands and knees breathing heavily his skin was changed to a greenish-brown color almost snake like he kept his red hair his teeth were now pointed and as a result of the purple serum his skin cracked in places exposing the muscles underneath namely a few slices on chest, legs and arms Mammoth stood up and with a yell he charged Bane prepared to defend himself Bane crossed his arms blocking Mammoth's strike the force however still sent him sliding back Bane therw an uppercut followed by a punch to the chest both of which had no effect on his opponent.
"Qué en el-" Bane began only to be interrupted by Mammoth grabbing the back of his head and punching him straight in the gut causing Bane to cough up spit and a little bit of blood Mammoth moved at a speed not fitting for his size and immediately followed this up with uppercut knocking Bane's head back then he hit Bane with a right cross a Bane started falling Mammoth grabbed ahold of his hand and rag dolled him tossing him into the wall causing him to as Bane began recovering Mammoth charged forward again with speed not fitting his size and body checked Bane into wall again breaking some pipes as Bane slid down to the floor a plum of steam was released from the now broken pipes covering both Bane and Mammoth from sight not letting him off easy Mammoth grabbed Bane's head again and tossed him through the smoke causing him to crash back first onto the ground with a leap Mammoth followed after fist drawn back the force of the impact caused Bane's men to go wide eyed at the sight of their leaders defeat or wince and look away as Bane gave a groan before falling unconscious as his head lay in small crater the Lead Guard smirked.
"Hail Kobra, Hail Kobra." the Lead Guard began soon all the other Guards were chanting 'Hail Kobra' as the leader Kobra watched with a smirk on his face Kobra is very tall towering over most people his eyes are red with black rings around them he has high cheek bones coupled with a fairly muscular build His skin is very pale almost grayish he wore a red cape which features a snake-like hood with two fangs and sharp orange eyes he has black pants with a yellow belt that features a snake symbol on the buckle he also wears long red greaves se has padded red gloves that cover most of his forearm the gloves are primarily red, but has a yellow streak encircling each end on the back of his hand the gloves have small yellow "eyes" and yellow fangs at the ends of each glove very much like the fangs of his hood his smug smirk only grew wider as his followers chanted his name.
CARIBBEAN SEA
June 22nd 22:08 ECT
"So this is our first real mission okay just keep calm everything will be fine." Ronin thought coaxing himself feeling a little nervous about the whole thing as he and his Teammates were flying in the Bio-Ship heading to an Island Nation.
"We're approaching Santa Prisca." Miss Martian said but Ronin was barely to hear her as he turned his head to look out the window to watch the ocean for a moment before he closed his eyes thinking back to what Bat Man had told them beforehand.
Flashback
"This island nation is the primary source Of a dangerous and illegal neo-steroid a strength enhancing drug sold under the street name "Venom" Infrared heat signatures indicate their factory Is still operating at full capacity But all shipments of Venom have been inexplicably cut off." Bat Man explained turning to the Team while using the Holographic image of the Island.
"And that is where this team comes in." Red Tornado added.
"This is a covert recon mission only observe and report. If the Justice League needs to intervene it will the plan requires two drop zones." Bat Man ordered, "Are their any questions?"
"Yeah who's in charge?" Robin asked Bat Man and Red Tornado looked at each other and silently decided on an answer.
"Work that out amongst yourselves." Bat Man simply said turning back to the group, "For now get ready you leave in ten."
Flashback Ends
"But who is worthy of leading well let's see Robin has more training than the others but he's also the youngest he is use to working with Bat Man in silence they do not need to talk this Team is different, Miss Martian is too inexperienced too eager to please she wouldn't be able to put her foot down and take charge, Kid Flash is the second youngest and smartest but he acts as childish as Robin can be, Super Boy on the other hand has little to no battle experience sure he's the strongest out of all of us but he's just too hotheaded which just unfortunately leaves myself and Aqua Lad, alright Aqua Lad is the second oldest with me being slightly older he has more experience than the others but less training then me and Robin however he is the most level headed he'd have my vote." Ronin thought, "As for me I'm better trained and experienced than the others but I don't have the makings of a true Leader."
"Aqua Lad, Ronin Drop Zone A is in Thirty." Miss Martian spoke this time breaking Ronin and the others from whatever thoughts they were stuck in Ronin stood to put his helmet on and with a press of a button any crack or openings sealed shut with a hiss sound signaling it was now air tight Aqua Lad stood up as well moving his hand he pressed the emblem on his belt changing his suit to all black Ronin looked over and nodded to Aqua Lad the Atlantean returned the nod knowing it was now or never.
"We're ready." the two spoke in the most calm and confident tone they could they would be going through with the mission.
"Putting Bio-Ship in camouflage mode." Miss Martian replied on the outside the whole ship turned nearly invisible and Miss Martian lowered it down till it was just barely above the water with a message from the Martian a hole opened in the floor.
"Um You first you are the one with gills." Ronin insisted Aqua Lad simply nodded knowing they had no time to argue and jumped out of the ship with a diver pose into the likely freezing waters below with a sigh Ronin jumped in next mimicking Aqua Lad's movements the two young heroes hit the water with a splash Aqua Lad took the lead of course but Ronin at least kept up thanks to his strength.
"Yep this is really freaking cold-Just focus on the Mission." the Former Assassin thought as he and Aqua Lad swam down in an arch passed some underwater bombs attached to chains before they could run into a rope Aqua Lad pulled out a Water Bearers to form a sword and slice through allowing both himself and Ronin to swim through the duo Teen Heroes popped their heads out of the water and peered around to find the beach empty once on shore the two kneeled down behind some rocks just in case.
"Are you okay?" Aqua Lad asked
"Y-yeah I-I'll be f-fine." Ronin replied stuttering with the press of a button on his wrist immediately steam rose from the suit and heat flooded Ronin cold body while his healing fixed everything else, "I'll take care of the Sensors you give me cover or a warning."
"Understood I'll position hold here unless I am needed." Aqua Lad agreed nodding Ronin flung himself over the rock and while in a low crouch rushed across the sand to the giant machine pulling a device from his belt Ronin plugged it into the large machine which light blinked for a few tense moments before stopping signaling it worked Ronin reached up to press the side of his helmet.
"The heat and motion sensors are patched the data is now on a continuous loop from say the past hour or so you are now free to move in without concern." Ronin informed the Team while giving Aqua Lad the all clear sign.
"Now our mission only gets more dangerous from here." Aqua Lad stated knowing they were going deep into enemy territory.
"And that is why we have to stick together cover each others backs watch out for each other." Ronin stated with a silent agreement on that the two set off to regroup with the others Miss Martian with the all clear continued to fly the Bio-Ship until they reached-.
"Drop Zone B." Miss Maritain announced to the rest of The Team the others stood up belts and seats retracting into the floor again raising her hand Miss Martian reopened the hole in the floor while also lowering wires from the ceiling allowing Robin and Kid Flash to attached them to their belts with that down Kid Flash pressed the lightning bolt emblem on his chest switch his suit to all black.
"How cool is this?" Kid Flash questioned turning to Miss Martian.
"Very impressive." she simply replied with a smile before she used her powers to change her suit this made her heels disappear as a black color made it's way up her body to her neck while also removing the gold object from her neck while giving her a hood.
"Um that works to I guess." the Speedster stated before turning away, "Hey Supey not too late to put on the new stealth tech."
"No Capes No Tights No offense." Super Boy simply said in reply.
"It totally works for you-As In that you can totally do good work in those clothes." Miss Martian said before realizing how awkward it was and that her Teammate was staring at her Miss Martian pulled her newly formed hood over her head and went into camouflage mode to avoid further embarrassment with that Miss Martian, Kid Flash and Robin jumped from the ship while Miss Martian floated down Robin and Kid Flash repelled down the two younger heroes and Miss Martian had just enough to unhook themselves and turn visible before looking and jumping aside as Super Boy came crashing down shaking the ground and sending smoke everywhere.
"Knew I didn't need a line." the Boy of Steel said with a smile as he stood up.
"And yet creating a seismic event May not have helped us much with the covert." Robin snapped he sitting leaning on a tree base Super Boy just shrugged as Robin stood up and Kid Flash started walking back to them.
"Aqua Lad, Ronin drop "B" is go." Miss Martian said into the com on her ear as she floated down to join the others again.
"Head for the factory." Aqua Lad sounded over as both he and Ronin were now climbing up a cliff side using just their hands while Robin crouched down to turn on his glove in order to check their positions the others looking down at the map.
"I'll track your GPS and we'll rendezvous with your at the Factory ASAP." Ronin's voice added.
"Roger that." Robin replied shutting off his glove he then began leading the group through the jungle into an opening clearing followed by canyon with a water fall as the Boy Wonder was ahead he was first to get up the side so he could activate his glove showing him a bunch heat signatures in front of them and the best path around them Super Boy's ear twitched at a twig snapping.
"Did you hear that?" the Boy of Steel asked stopping this made Miss Martian and Kid Flash halt in their tracks too.
"Uh No-Wait a second is this a Super Hearing thing?" Kid Flash asked remembering who his Teammate was.
"You do have great ears." Miss Martian said in a dream like state as she was eyeing him up luckily for her this bit was ignored.
"Okay Robin now what?" Kid Flash questioned his friend as he turned his head back to find no Boy Wonder and that he had once again seemly vanished into thin air leaving them behind, "Man I hate it when he does that."
"Super Boy Kid Flash switch to infrared see if you're being tracked." Ronin's voice cut in over the coms as both he and Aqua Lad were running full speed through the jungle to the others location as the coms were still on they had heard everything Kid Flash pulled down his googles over his eyes to spot a group of armed thugs.
"Got a squad of armed bozos incoming." the Speedster informed the group before leading them down the Hill to duck down behind a rock and log Super Boy narrowed his eyes changing his vision to see another group of armed thugs coming from the other way.
"Two squads but they'll meet each other before they find us." the Boy of Steel stated suddenly gunfire erupted as the two groups engaged each other causing Miss Martian to cover her mouth for who knows why.
"No super hearing required now." Kid Flash said sarcastically before stepping out from behind the rock.
"It's best that you just swing wide and steer clear." Ronin's voice commanded from the coms.
"Yeah, as soon as I find Rob." Kid Flash said waving his concern off as he vaulted over the log.
"Kid you'll blow our cover just stay put we're almost at your location." the Former Assassin hissed over the radio however his wise advice was ignored as Kid Flash took off at super speeds down the hill but the mud caused him to lose his foot and fall unto his ass and slide all the way down the incline and roll straight into the gun fight near the first squad causing a cease fire as Kid Flash pulled up his googles to rub his head he saw both Bane and his men aiming their weapons at him.
"So much for the stealthy." the Speedster mused to himself.
"I hate you so much right now." Ronin voice sighed over the coms as they fired everything went into slow motion for Kid Flash as Bane, his men and the other group of thugs open fired at him the Speedster back flipped to his feet and began running away with a few panicked sounds as he evaded the bullets Super Boy suddenly came from the same direction Kid Flash did and tackled Bane sending them both flying using his superior skills Bane was able to slip from the Boy of Steel's grip they spun and as they landed on the ground Bane pinned his face in the dirt and held his arm up however with Super Boy's far superior strength he was able to break free fairly easily swinging it forward then back he sent his arm into Bane causing him to go flying into a tree he fell off the trunk in an unconscious state as Kid Flash continued dodging bullets Robin suddenly dropped from the trees kicking one guy away.
What is wrong with you guys? Remember covert? Why didn't you follow my lead, vanish into the jungle? the Boy Wonder questioned as he took the other guy down looking he saw Kid Flash taking on another thug using some speedy punches.
"That's what you were doing? Way to fill us in We're not mind readers you know." the Speedster retorted finishing the guy off with a back flip kick behind him some other guy was slammed into a tree by Miss Martian, "Or I'm not anyway."
"You told me I could only read the bad guys' minds." the Female Martian pouted that's when Robin heard a guy running so he pulled out a Birdarang but before he could thorw it Ronin dropped from the trees and hit the guy with a shocking punch knocking him out.
"Let's get these guys tied up before they come to." the Former Assassin ordered the Team as he crushed the radio the guy was trying to use under his foot as Aqua Lad came up behind him within no time at all they had the two group tied to two different trees.
"I recognize those uniforms they belong to the cult of the Kobra." Robin informed the Team.
"Oh yeah I remember these guys nasty fellows people not to be messed with why they want Venom is beyond me." Ronin stated, "But I'm certain Bat Man would have mentioned it If he knew a dangerous extremist was running Santa Prisca's Venom operation."
"Agreed and since there's clearly no love lost Between these cultists and those goons I'm betting Kobra came in and tossed them out." Robin deduced rubbing his chin.
"And that would also explain why normal supply lines have been cut off." Aqua Lad added.
"We get it Kobra wanted super cultists mystery solved radio Bats and we'll be home in time-" Kid Flash began.
"Kid none of these cultists are on Venom if I was a betting man which I am I'd say there's more to this story." Ronin interrupted.
"Exactly Kobra's hoarding the stuff we don't leave not until I know why." the Boy Wonder firmly said.
"Until you know why?" the Speedster scoffed.
"This team needs a leader." Robin stated.
"And it's you? Dude you're a 13-year-old Kid who ducked out on us without a word." Kid Flash retorted.
"And you're what? a mature 15? You blew our cover first chance you got." Ronin and Aqua Lad sighed at this pointless argument.
"Don't you want to lead?" Super Boy asked turning his head.
"After the mister Twister fiasco? Yeah no thank you." Miss Martian replied.
"You did all right." the Boy of Steel encouraged causing the Female Martian to blush and look away Super Boy picked up on some of the tied men talking as Robin and Kid Flash continued so he nudged Ronin and gestured with his head toward them.
"¡Míralos discutir! ¡Libérate y tómalos mientras están distraídos!" the one tied up next to Bane said.
¡"Tranquilo! Por ahora juego, me darán lo que necesito." Bane replied Super Boy and Ronin shared a knowing smirk with a nod.
"Yeah? Well you don't even have super powers!" the Speedster childishly stated as he tried to walk away.
"Neither does Bat Man!" the Boy Wonder retorted acting just as childish following after this made the Speedster stop.
"You're Not Bat Man!" Kid Flash snapped getting in Robin's face.
"Closest thing we've got." Robin retorted Kid Flash's response point over at Ronin, "Oh...yeah right I..uh forgot about him-"
"Such clever ninos but you only know half the story let me show you the rest I can get you into the factory via my secret entrance." Bane suddenly said Miss Martian walked up to him kneeling down to his level she attempted to read his mind.
"There is a secret entrance but he's also hiding something." the Female Martian confirmed her eyes glowed as she tried using force.
"Ah, ah, ah, chica Bane is not that easy to read" the Burly Genius patronized after of moment Miss Martian let out a frustrated sigh.
"He's mentally reciting futbol scores in espanol this could take a while."
"It's not complicated the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Bane said grinning the Team fake contemplated these words until Bane found that a sword pointed at his throat Ronin had taken out his blade and pushed Miss Martian aside back to stand with the others.
"Fine you can help us but one slip up, if I or the others suspect something than I will gut you like a Fish with a honest to God smile on my face and then I will proceed to paint that factory with both yours and your men's very blood understood." Ronin said in a completely serious tone Bane hardly looked fazed but pretended to be as he nodded while his men went a little pale from the threat the Team however knew Ronin was bluffing as he stated he never wanted to take another's life.
"Very well I accept your terms." Bane stated with a single slice of his blade Ronin cut the ropes only restraining Bane allowing the villain to stand up and begin leading the Team through the jungle over at the Factory everything machine in the building was in full swing moving and making Venom with all of it being observed by Kobra himself that's when one of his followers approached.
"Sublime master, he approaches." the Cultist stated lowering his a walkie talkie from his ear.
"Activate the radio jamming net nothing must interfere." Kobra ordered not turning to look at him with a bow the Cultist walked away outside the Factory Bane led the Team to a cliff side Ronin, Robin and Kid Flash walked passed Bane the Former Assassin used his helmet to zoom in the Speedster used his goggles and the Boy Wonder used a pair of binoculars he pulled from his belt.
"Look at all that product a buy is going down-." Robin began lowering his binoculars as Bane started walking away seemly unnoticed.
"But if Kobra's not selling to the usual suspects then we need to identify the buyer." Ronin continued zooming out.
"Just what I was thinking." Kid Flash said pushing up his goggles.
"Yeah you the thinker." Robin said as he stood up Ronin simply turned chose to ignore them and walk over to where Bane was.
"Sarcasm dude a real leader would focus on getting answers." over off to the side with a grunt of effort Ronin and Bane lifted up a large boulder they moved it to the side revealing a mine shaft after putting it down next to the opening in the cliff Bane dusted off his hands as Ronin cracked his neck while Super Boy and Miss Martian began walking toward them.
"Your answers are this way." Bane stated with a gesture the Team came up behind him and watched as he walked in first.
"Okay so this is not a trap not yet anyway."
"So now el luchador is our leader." Kid Flash said with distain Ronin rolled his eyes as elbowed the Speedster in the ribs before following after Bane the Speedster shrugged at the others as Robin went next the Team and Bane kept walking down the mine shaft for about five minutes till they read a red metal door which Bane opened using his thumbprint to revel a room small room.
"Gotta admit I was expecting more frankly I'm whelmed." Ronin said board while taking the room in he noted that there was one hanging light Bane, Robin and Ronin moved over to the door as Bane opened it the three peered out into the building.
"All clear." Robin said before running out much to the Teams annoyance as they and Bane walked out to find he'd vanished-again.
"Has the Little Fool already been caught?" Bane questioned.
"No he just does that." Aqua Lad sighed.
"Stay put I'll get our intel and be back before the boy wonder." Kid Flash ordered pulling his goggles down.
"Kid wait-" the Atlantean began again only for the Speedster to take off as he was talking and round a corner.
"Great chain of command." Bane said with a sarcastic edge.
"You're really preaching to the choir with that one Bane." Ronin muttered as the others looked at each other up on the catwalk Robin ran across the platform as Ronin led the Team forward Robin entered a control room to see some Cultist typing away so he therw a Batarang which stuck into the wood realizing a gas knocking the guy out Robin walked over and pulled the guy out of the chair.
"Okay let's see what we got here." Robin thought sitting down he began typing away trying to hack in meanwhile outside Ronin directed the group behind a stack of crates where they watched as Kobra Cultists were moving crates around the building.
"It seems to be a massive shipment something big must be going down." Ronin said.
"But they are only taking new product off the line." Aqua Lad observed.
"They're not touching this Venom." Super Boy added looking down at the crates they were behind he noticed they held Venom too.
"Maybe freshness counts?" Miss Martian suggested everyone even Bane gave her a 'Really look' until the Boy of Steel heard-.
"There's a Helicopter coming." Super Boy stated looking at a large window this made the others turn their heads as well however something changed in Bane's eyes back in the control room Kid Flash ran in behind Robin holding a half eaten protein bar.
"Whatcha got?"
"Chemical formulas I'm guessing it involves Venom but-" Robin began as Kid Flash cam up behind him.
"This one's Venom, and that one's- whoa The Blockbuster formula from Cadmus mixed correctl, Kobra's new juice is three times stronger than Venom and permanent." the Speedster explained, "But how did Kobra get access to project blockbuster?"
"Our mystery buyer must also be Kobra's supplier! Using the cult to create a blockbuster Venom super formula Robin to Aqua Lad we got-" Robin said standing up and placing his fingers to his ears only to be met with- "Static."
"Well I guess we just hope for the best then." Kid Flash muttered shrugging his shoulders outside the Helicopter from earlier that Super Boy had heard landed a door opened one part going down as a ramp while other went up to reveal the villain known to the world as Sports Master stepping down and off the ramp Sports Master went up to Kobra who had Mammoth and Shimmer with him.
"Lord Kobra." Sports Master greeted.
"Sports Master the shipment is ready." Lord Kobra replied looking at Shimmer who took a few steps forward and opened a small metal case with vials of purple chemicals as Sports Master reached for one and took it out holding it up he observed it.
"The new Kobra Venom?"
"A complete success." Kobra confirmed gesturing to Mammoth, "Our friends will not be disappointed."
"This really is a game-changer finally we can go mano-a-mano with the Justice League." Sports Master said tossing the vial into the air and catching it above them a nearly completely invisible Miss Martian floated there watching shady deal go down.
"Everyone I'm sending a telepathic image of the buyer now." the Female Martian thought back inside the Factory Ronin, Aqua Lad and Super Boy had moved to the catwalk while kneeled they received the image as Bane kept watch.
"Sports Master he's the buyer but something doesn't add up here." Ronin stated.
"Agreed Aqua Lad to Red Tornado do you read me." the Atlantean tried using the Radio but was met with static same with Ronin.
"We can't reach the League, Robin or Kid our comm's must be jammed now we need a real plan."
"I have a suggestion." Bane suddenly said with that he flung himself over the railing of the catwalk to land on the ground between two cultists before they had time Bane backhanded one away sending him flying before knocking the other ones gun up just as he pulled the trigger shots rang out through the building and were heard outside causing them to turn back to the Factory.
"What does he/What is he-." Ronin and Aqua Lad were interrupted by a loud roar and the three Teens turned to see a large creature crash through the window and land on the catwalk breaking it in two and dropping them to the floor as well they landed on their feet behind them Bane held the knocked out Cultist as Ronin, Aqua Lad and Super Boy prepared to face of against Mammoth who roared.
"Destroy them now leave no trace." Kobra ordered as he Shimmer and Sports Master entered the Factory the creature that leapt through the window known as Mammoth charged them so Super Boy rushed to intercept halting the creature in its tracts but unfortunately this beast was stronger than Bane of Venom and Block Buster combined so Mammoth grabbed the clone by the waist lifted him into the air by this time Bane had already began making his escape so Ronin drew out one of his swords and held it in a defensive position Aqua Lad grab his Water Bearers forming a shield using one crouching down he protected himself from bullets with the other one he fire out small orb shaped water projectiles as Ronin used his blade to deflect any shot that would hit him.
"Why are there so many of these stupid Cultists." Ronin thought as he backed up still deflecting rounds seeing more Cultists coming Ronin drew out his other blade and used that as well to add extra defense Bane let out a chuckle from his cover before slipping out above the villains Miss Martian flew over them and entered the factory with her powers she began throwing Cultists around Sports Master narrowed his eyes as noticed the slight distortion indicating where she was deciding to try a new approach Ronin made his way over to Aqua Lad and rolled behind his shield to use his crossbow Super Boy was sent flying to slam into some metal object.
"Aw God that hurt-and so will this." Super Boy thought noticing Mammoth charging at him the creature swung his fist up slamming it into the Clone's stomach smashing him back up into the stone pillar again quickly recovering Super Boy swung his fist forward throwing the strongest punch he could muster knocking Mammoth away sending him flying Super Boy charged forward to continue his assault now that Sports Master confirmed what he was seeing he grabbed a retractable javelin from his pocket and threw it the Javelin flew through the air towards its target Miss Martian saw this and narrowly avoid it only for it to explode.
"M'gann NO!" Aqua Lad screamed seeing her flying back both he and Ronin wanted to help her but knew they couldn't now visible she landed on top of some and land on one of those metal objects as Super Boy and Mammoth continued their fight Robin leapt above them across the metal containers and landed on the catwalk as Kid Flash came up next to him they both observed for a moment before the Speedster rushed in to help the Boy Wonder however had a different idea as he grinned the Former Assassin and the Atlantean kept backing up with the shield the two got behind one of the metal containers using it for cover.
"Alright we just need to think of a way out of this we nee-." Aqua Lad began only to be interrupted by two flanking Cultists who had run around to the other side aiming they prepared to fire only for Kid Flash to run in and kick them both away out of nowhere.
"Hey how's it going." the Speedster greeted before being forced into cover by more Cultist firing from a nearby catwalk.
"Miss Martian if your still conscious over there we need your power our radios have been jammed! Link us up!" Ronin ordered loudly on his words the Female Martian slowly pushed herself up and put a hand to her head connecting the Team.
"Everyone online?" Miss Martian thought as Super Boy was knocked back by one of Mammoth's punches.
"Yeah." the Clone thought recovering from the blow still not liking the whole telepathic connection.
"I am here as well." Aqua Lad thought.
"You know it beautiful."
"Kid now is not the time to be flirting for now we need to retreat and regroup." Ronin mentally ordered.
"Busy now." Robin interjected outside the factory the Boy Wonder landed by the Helicopter pad behind him a man stood.
"Batman must be desperate If he sends his whelp to task me." Kobra stated Shimmer standing by him as Robin turned to face them.
"What's wrong, Koby? You look disconcerted." Robin stated smirking.
"This is beneath me Shimmer take him." the Cult Leader ordered Shimmer rushed forward to attack however Robin leapt up and flipped over her causing her to miss her strike completely he landed in a fighting stance ready to take her on.
"Robin Now! We need to go." Ronin demanded as Shimmer stopped and turned to face him again.
"Alright fine." the Boy Wonder muttered looking back at the Factory as Shimmer charged once more Robin pulled out a flash bang to thorw it on the ground disappearing with a bright flash Shimmer stop before she ran into Kobra as Shimmer stared at the spot where Robin once was Kobra looked over to the Factory back inside Aqua Lad used some water whips to knock cultists of the catwalks.
"Strategic Retreat Everyone Now!" Ronin ordered using his a combination of throwing knives, stars and his crossbow to knock the weapons out of the Cultists hands and then pin them to the wall or floor, "Kid you're on point clear a path to the exist."
"Right I'm on it." the Speedster thought in return running out from cover Kid Flash took off down the way they came in knocking Kobra goons out of the way as he went the Team followed soon after with Super Boy lagging behind they reached the door and rushed inside the closest just as Mammoth jumped from the side and attempted to get Miss Martian but Super Boy intercepted him however by grabbing his hands the two briefly struggled before the Clone won by grabbing one of the Creatures hands and tossing the beast aside sending him flying into a group of Cultists that were chasing them he then followed after the others.
"Super Boy are you alright." Ronin called back as both he and Aqua Lad lagged behind waiting for the clone.
"Yeah I'm good-still here let's go." Super Boy replied entering the Mine Shaft turning Super Boy shut the metal door to the factory causing it to lock shut he then took off with Ronin and Aqua Lad in tow behind them there were two slams on the door before it gave way on the third allowing Mammoth in the Mine Shaft as he slumped a group of Kobra thugs followed after shooting at the Team.
"Super Boy The Support Beams." Ronin shouted over the gun fire the Clone understood and slammed his fist into the old wood of a few of the beams Ronin did the same on the other side behind them part of the ceiling started to give way behind them Miss Martian narrowly pulled them out of the way of the falling rocks while the Cultists narrowly evaded getting splattered Mammoth stared at the fallen rocks before walking away on the other side of the rocks Aqua Lad snapped a glow stick lighting up the area they were in.
"How could my first mission as leader go so wrong?" Robin questioned himself mostly staring at the rocks blocking the path back.
"And back to this again." Aqua Lad sighed breaking the glow stick in two and dropping it.
"When did we decide on that?" Miss Martian asked.
"We didn't Robin just put himself above the rest of us." Super Boy replied crossing his arms.
"We actually never even decided of that did we." Kid Flash added.
"Whatever..."
"Other than myself you do have the most experience but perhaps that's exactly what has left you unprepared I was raised to fight and lead others in the Shadows." Ronin stated causing Robin turn around walking up to the Boy Wonder he placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "Fighting alongside the Bat Man your roles are already defined you two do not need to talk however this Team is new different and a leader must be clear explicit he just cannot simply vanish and expect others to play parts in an unknown plan."
"Oh so I'm suppose to hold everyone's hand now." Robin scoffed pulling back from Ronin's grip.
"No but a little heads up when we need it a direction on what we're suppose to doing or a warning perhaps instead of just vanishing on us would be nice." the Former Assassin stated Robin simply sighed knowing he was right knowing he really couldn't argue.
"Oh who am I kidding you should lead us James you're the only one who can." the Boy Wonder stated.
"Well I don't know about-"
"Please I can run circles around-" Kid Flash began
"Wally come on you know he's the right one for the job we all do." Robin insisted causing the Team to turn to him.
"Hello Megan it's so obvious." Miss Martian said.
"Could have told ya." Super Boy stated smirking.
"He does seem to be the best choice." Aqua Lad spoke up.
"Okay I admit it you guys are right." Kid Flash agreed Ronin silently gazed at his Teammates mulling this over in his head.
"Very well then I will accept the burden of leadership until you are ready to lift it from my shoulders I truly believe that you were meant to lead this Team maybe not now but someday." Ronin said Robin smiled and nodded Ronin then turned to address the rest of the Team, "All right everyone our first priority is preventing that shipment from leaving this island."
"Funny I had the same thought." Robin snarked as the others moved closer to them.
"Now here's the plan so listen closely-" outside the Mine Shaft Sports Master tried to start the Helicopter only-.
"Sabotage Robin right?" Sports Master said more then asked stepping out of the Helicopter.
"Undoubtedly find the problem and Fix it." Kobra ordered Shimmer who bowed before walking away.
"Master shall we send search parties out after the intruders?" a Cultist asked as he walked up to Kobra with Mammoth.
"Don't be absurd they'll come to us."
"-So Sports Master's the supplier slash buyer but it still doesn't track." Robin stated looking at his holographic screen glove as the Team raced down the Mine Shaft, "He doesn't have the juice to acquire the blockbuster formula or to get Kobra to do his dirty work."
"And neither of them have the chops to bond block buster with Venom that took some major nerdage." Kid Flash added.
"So with all that it implies a third party working with them and possible even more we also have to consider why Sports Master wants this Kobra Venom because I doubt he'd use it on himself it's likely that he or whoever he's working for have volunteers or maybe even forced volunteers if I'm right about all of that this could go even deeper then we think." Ronin said as they came up on the exist only for Bane to reappear seemly more muscular causing the Team to stop , "But his is likely just the tip of the ice berg."
"Halt, ninos I'm feeling explosive." Bane joked with that's when the Team noticed C4 packs on the stone walls surrounding them.
"Okay did he seriously just make a Wally a pun."
"Hey I'm way funnier than this guy."
"Shut up and back up Kid just back you'll need a running start I just need to get him talking." Nodding Kid Flash stepped backward.
"So you decide to betray us and why exactly is that?"
"Simply I want my factory back so I forced you into a situation where you would either take down my enemies or die trying If the latter, the Justice League would certainly have come To avenge their sidekicks." Bane explained.
"Alright I'm ready." Kid Flash thought.
"And when the smoke cleared, Santa Prisca would be mine once more blowing the tunnel with you inside should have the same effect." Bane said just before he could press the trigger a blur rushed and the trigger was gone confusing Bane.
"With what? This trigger thingy?" Kid Flash taunted Bane turned to attack but Miss Martian stopped and lifted him up into the air.
"Finally I've been waiting for this since we met this creep drop him." Super Boy ordered cracking his knuckles as he walked up dropping into a stance he drew his fist back Miss Martian obliged and dropped Bane the Clone swung his fist up knocking the Burly Genius out cold with that down the Team quickly tied him to a tree but something else was wrong-, "The Helicopter is fixed."
"That didn't last nearly as long as I hoped it would have." Robin muttered.
"Kid get down their do not let them leave under any circumstance." Ronin ordered with a nod Kid Flash pulled his goggles down and took off down at the landing pad the Helicopter had just started up once more.
"The helicopter is operational exalted one." a Cultist informed Kobra bowing to him without a word Sports Master began walking toward the vehicle when a blur shot passed in front of him taking out a number of Cultists they all knew it was none other then the side Kid Flash who ran up leapt over a wooden crate and kicked a guy who was shooting at him.
"Take the shipment!" Kobra ordered not needing to be told twice Sports Master full on sprinted to the Helicopter the metal case from earlier in his hand Super Boy suddenly fell from the sky near the Helicopter sending people flying while cracking the ground.
"You want to go again?" the Clone taunted Mammoth growled and charged forward.
"Not this time." Aqua Lad said unleashing a huge blast of water using both his Water Bearers and a water tower along with a broken pipe which struck Mammoth sending him flying away smirking Super Boy turned to the helicopter.
"Yeah sorry that's not apart of the plan." the Clone stated seeing that Aqua Lad and the water was doing their jobs and holding their foe back Super Boy drew him fist back and prepared to punch the Helicopter's fuel tank only to shot in the back by Sports Master who was holding a powerful laser crossbow which sent him stumbling Sports Master kept coming and firing the blasts knocking the Clone away behind him a camouflaged Miss Martian flew into the Helicopter flying into the cargo hold she planted something before watching a Super Boy and Sports Master came into view trying to catch him off guard Miss Martian flew at him but Sports Master somehow already knew she was there and thus was able to flip over her before firing a shot into the dirt making the Female Martian turn visible again wrapping an arm around her neck Sports Master returned to shooting Super Boy.
"I really don't like this part of the plan." the Clone thought with his back pressed against a bunch of crates meanwhile Kid Flash dodged shots as he ran up to where Kobra and Shimmer before upper cutting a Cultist knocking his mask off stop Kid Flash.
"Souvenir." the Speedster exclaimed catching it before running off Robin suddenly dropped from the roof.
"So just you and me sister." the Boy Wonder challenged Shimmer grinned as she rush to fight him on the other side Ronin walked in.
"It'll be just you and me Kobra." the Former Assassin challenged cracking his knuckles, "I know you hate getting you hands dirty."
"True-" Kobra admitted removing his red cape letting it fall to the ground, "But sometimes even a God must stoop to conquer."
"And I thought Ra's was arrogant." Ronin muttered to himself unbuckling his swords along with his belt he let them fall to the ground before removing his jacket and tossing it aside as well with that done the Former Assassin dropped into a fighting stance for a few tense moments the two fighters remained unmoved but knowing he'd be the only one to move Ronin charged leapt into for a jumping spinning back kick Kobra blocked this by crossing his arms though it did slide him back a bit landing on the ground Ronin rushed forward with a spinning back fist followed by a leg sweep but Kobra dodged both of these by simply stepping back Ronin leapt up with a flying knee Kobra caught it with both hands and kicked the Former Assassin away sliding he ended up on one knee.
"What's wrong, boy? You seem disconcerted." Kobra taunted Ronin stood to resume his fighting stance with narrowed eyes he wouldn't let his opponent goad him but now he was more determined than ever to land a blood drawing punch in Kobra's smug face meanwhile Kid Flash rushed into knocking them down making a U turn the Speedster came back around taking down another guy down Mammoth suddenly was pushed passed the unconscious Cultists still trapped by Aqua Lad and his water blast Mammoth had been pushed half way across the field storing away one Water Bearer Aqua Lad kept the water coming with other but channeled electricity into his now free hand the Atlantean placed his hand in the water sending an a current through the water.
"I pray this works." Aqua Lad thought as the electric shock reached Mammoth's body sending wave after wave of forced electrical pluses through him and thanks to be soaking wet it only made the electrocution even worse a moment later Aqua Lad cut both of the water and electricity off allowing the now fried Mammoth to fall back first onto the ground unconscious sighing Aqua Lad stored away his other Water Bearer meanwhile Super Boy kept getting closer forcing Sports Master backed up onto the Helicopter ramp.
"Thanks for the workout, but I got to fly." Sports Master stated as he stopped firing before throwing Miss Martian at Super Boy causing them both to fall to the ground as they lay their Sports Master started the Helicopter and began raising it up into the air they let him get to a certain point in the air that's when Miss Martian pulled out Bane's C4 Trigger causing Super Boy smirk slightly and nod at her pressing the plunger she detonated the C4 she had attached to the Kobra Venom shaking the whole Helicopter as the a fire raged behind him Sports Master tried to gain control but it was useless looking out the window he saw where he would crash.
"Well thank God Skydiving is a Sport." Sports Master thought unbuckling himself from the seat he rushed grabbed a parachute from the wall and bailed out through the side door pulling his cord to slow his descent and land somewhere in the Jungles of Santa Prisca moments after this the Helicopter crashed into the Factory and both with up in flames faster than a BBQ likely due to all of the chemicals that were there Ronin dodged around Kobra's strike and hit him with combo of gut punches following it with an upper cut.
"What kind of God gets injured by a mere Mortal." Ronin taunted seeing that his attack had actually done damage.
"I am plagued by mosquitoes." Kobra snapped in rage it had finally reached seeing that the Factory was destroyed and Ronin had given a bloody almost broken nose at that moment Shimmer was suddenly thrown at his feet tied up by bolas and unconscious.
"Good cause these mosquito's mighty concerted over your pain." Robin called over as he and the others stood behind Ronin the Cult Leader glanced around looking at the Teenage Heroes then at Shimmer and Mammoth knowing he was no match for all of them.
"Another time then." Kobra said backing up into the Jungle and disappearing Ronin rushed in after and searched around.
"He got away." the Former Assassin reported returning to the Team.
"It doesn't mater we stopped the Cult's Kobra Venom from leaving this island took down Bane and we picked the right guy to lead." Robin encouraged this actually brought Ronin's sprits up before Robin began laughing as turned to face what was now the still burning wreak of a Factory, "Automatically making you the right guy to explain this mess to Batman."
"That is the most backward underhanded thing ever you traitor." Ronin muttered watching him go.
MOUNT JUSTICE
August 4th 01:06 EDT
"A simple recon mission observe and report." Bat Man snapped getting in Ronin's face
"With all do respect Bat Man I have no regrets over my actions I got results." Ronin stated not flinching under the Bat Glare knowing he wouldn't get him to crack the Dark Knight began walking down the Team's line arms behind his back as he spoke.
"You'll each receive a written evaluation Detailing your many mistakes." Bat Man continued he stopped at the end of the line and turned so now he was facing the Teen again, "Until then Good job."
"Wait what was that." the Team collectively thought looking over at him with surprise, "Was that a compliment."
"No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy how you adjust to the unforeseen is what determines success and how you choose who leads determines character." Bat Man explained as he began walking away to the exist.
"Well now that that's done with I got to go I've got a friend to visit." Ronin told the Team once had Bat Man left he started leaving too.
"Be seeing you soon Kara I guess it has been a while-"
Location Unknown
"All I recovered is a single ampoule of Kobra Venom." Sports Master told the monitors in front of him.
"Peut-etre the drug can be reverse engineered."
"Mais, what of our young heroes? First, Cadmus, then Mister Twister now, Santa Prisca."
"Once is happenstance twice is coincidence but three times is enemy action and enemies of the light must not stand."
