Chapter IV
(Earth 2 Outpost)
"Report number… 145," Sergeant Grayson checked the list, "No activity. All systems normal."
He leaned back in his chair and sighed. Being stuck on this outpost was the most boring job in the military. This remote station was designed to be an early warning for Earth 2 in case of an attack. In his long career he had never heard of it actually being needed.
"I'm missing my kid's birthday because of this." He muttered to himself as he watched the other five members of the outpost excitedly discussing the capture of Voltage, "Still, we have a job to do and I'm going to do it as best I can."
One of the soldiers looked back at his console for a moment and paused, "Sergeant, sir, we have something metal. It's heading this way, fast."
Grayson looked up at the main screen as the image was displayed. A large red dot was rocketing on a direct course for the planet, "Go to yellow alert and inform command. I don't know what it is but it's not an asteroid."
The room was filled with sirens and red lights flashed.
"Sir, we have incoming!" the defence operator called as two red dots emerged from the large one and zoomed towards their station.
Grayson could feel the rush of adrenaline coursing through him, "Raise shields!"
Suddenly every piece of equipment stopped. All the lights went out and the sirens stopped.
"Report," the Sergeant reached for his console's emergency power switch, "Did we send the warning? Shield status?"
"The warning was sent," his communications officer answered, "But something has infected our systems. We have no power, no communications, nothing."
When the defence operator spoke it did not sound good, "Shields are offline."
The room was bathed in a chilling green glow as a pair of emerald eyes appeared on the main screen, staring down at them.
"I bring death." A cold voice announced.
A screen appeared on the console informing Grayson that all escape pods had been launched, empty. The shuttle bay doors had been sealed. Leaving no escape from the station.
"How long till those trajectories hit?" he demanded.
"I don't know," the defence operator called as he frantically pushed every button on his console, "Come on, work!"
The eyes turned bloody red, "Let your technology destroy you."
A loud hissing sound filled the room and Grayson could feel the pressure shifting drastically. All the air was being pumped out of the station. In a few seconds the building would being to break up and the people would suffocate or get torn apart.
He grabbed an oxygen mask from his desk and put it on, just in time to watch his communications officer collapse.
"Masks on!" Grayson yelled, "Evacuate the station! We'll use the ship's weapons to blast our way out."
As his men stood up with masks on the eyes widened and the voice announced.
"Self-destruct sequence overridden. This station will self-destruct in one second."
Explosions tore the station apart into tiny pieces. The few left alive were adrift in space in spacesuits they had managed to grab before detonation. All they could do was drift and wait for a rescue shuttle to arrive.
But the two incoming dots were revealed to be a pair of winged human shaped robots. They ignored the humans and focused on scanning the wreckage for any useful materials left over. When they had finished the two robots turned to the survivors.
"We surrender!" one of the cried, raising his hands, "Help us!"
The two robots raised their right arms in unison. A section of the arm slid open and a small blaster barrel emerged.
"Terminate all survivors." They announced.
One by one the helpless humans were killed, unable to defend themselves. All the while, the large red dot drew closer to the planet.
Legion of Super Heroes HQ
Brainiac 5 is with Bouncing Boy and Kid Quantum who had created a stasis field using her powers to keep Voltage from escaping. He has taken every precaution to make sure Voltage doesn't escape until he can be transferred to his new prison at the new prison facility the government told him they are making where it will house the worst criminals.
This new prison facility is being kept a secret from everyone, including the heroes. Brainiac 5 kept asking the government where the prison facility is, but all they could tell him is it's in a secret remote area where no one will be able to find it. He didn't like this, but he knew it's the right of the government to do what is right to keep the people safe. Many of the heroes though wonder why the government doesn't trust them and are keeping a secret.
"Are you okay Brainiac?" asked Kid Quantum breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Yes sorry what were you saying?" asked Brainiac 5 wondering what his friends said.
Kid Quantum sighs and repeats what she said. "Like I said this agent from the GPA is coming in to help interrogate Voltage. I asked you if you are going to join him?"
"GPA?" asked Brainiac 5 who has no knowledge about this agency or if it's even part of the government. "Are we sure it's real?"
Bouncing Boy nods his head. "We checked with the world leaders and they told us this agency is real."
Brainiac 5 waited for his friends to say more about the agency, but they just stopped. "And what? What else did they say about them?"
"Well that's it actually," said Kid Quantum explaining that the government didn't tell them anything else. "We asked them if they knew anything else about this agency, but they told us we didn't have the clearance to know anything else about the agency."
Brainiac 5 sighs in annoyance that once again the government is keeping things from them. "I guess I'll have to ask this agent when he arrives, who is he anyways?"
"Agent M-8," said Bouncing Boy giving his friend the name of the agent. "And no, we couldn't find any information about this agent."
"Great, I still wonder why the government doesn't trust us," said Brainiac 5 concern about this and remembers the last time the government didn't trust a group of heroes it almost turned into a war between both sides.
The doors opened near the trio and a woman's voice is heard nearby. "For good reasons I'm afraid."
The young heroes turn towards the door and see a woman in her 20's entering the room. She has long black hair that is tied in a ponytail, she has green eyes, and tan skin. She is wearing a black skirt that reaches her knees, black blouse shirt, black shoe heels, and is wearing black sunglasses. This appearance made everyone see she is working for the government, but for the men, including Brainiac 5 she is a very beautiful woman.
The woman takes out her badge and shows it to the three heroes. "I'm Agent M-8 from World Protection Agency. You must be Brainiac 5, Bouncing Boy, and Kid Quantum." Agent M-8 extends her hand towards Brainiac 5. "Nice to meet all of you."
Brainiac 5 snaps out of the trance he was in staring at the agent. He clears his throat and shakes the woman's hand. "Um yes that's us it's nice to meet you ma'am."
They broke the handshake and Agent M-8 shake hands with the two other heroes. "Now I'm sure you three have questions, but before you do I have some things to say to you before we begin. One, I am not in liberty to say what my agency is, but I have been authorized to say that our goal is to protect the planet and its inhabitants from things they shouldn't know about."
"I thought that was our job?" asked Kid Quantum.
"You're job is to protect the people from criminals our job is to protect the world along with its inhabitants from things I'm not in liberty to say," said Agent M-8 as she continues explaining her rules. "Number 2, do not use your powers against me. I came here to interrogate Voltage not pick a fight with you guys. If any of your teammates tries to read my mind I will take action, got it?"
Bouncing Boy nods his head. "We wouldn't try doing anything like that. We just want to know some things."
"I know what you want to ask and this brings me to the third thing I want you all to know," said Agent M-8 as she answers the question the heroes have been asking about. "I don't know why the agency or the government doesn't trust you guys with our secret. All I know is that whatever the reason is must be important so I'm sorry, I'm sure they do trust you, but just like you have your secrets from them they have their own secrets from you."
Brainiac 5 knew Agent M-8 is right. They do have their own secrets. They never told the government how they have a time machine and used it to go back into the past to ask past heroes to help them. He thought if the government did know about the time machine they would have asked to use it and that would have been bad.
The time machine doesn't even work anymore since Supergirl asked Brainiac 5 to destroy it to make sure no one can use it. A criminal found out about it and tried to use it, but they stopped this criminal. After that they destroyed it when Brainiac 5 realized his girlfriend is right. Still, he never told the government they had a time machine since if they knew how to work it that would end badly.
"Now then do you have any questions for me?" asked Agent M-8.
"Just one," said Brainiac 5 as he approaches the agent. "Why does the government want to interrogate Voltage? I know you informed us it's because he attacked the government, but I know there's another reason."
Agent M-8 nods her head and takes off her sunglasses. "Voltage attacked several military bases taking out half our satellites and damaging the X-Bomb."
Kid Quantum looks confuse when the agent mentions the name of the bomb. "X-Bomb, what's that?"
Before Brainiac 5 explains what it is the agent explains. "It's a powerful weapon that was made long ago when Earth 2 was found. The weapon was made to help wipe away any invading army that comes towards our planet. We only used it once when an alien invasion came to our world."
Brainiac 5 continues the rest surprising the agent a little. "It's also a last resort bomb and only the world leaders, including the president of the world can activate it. Still, I thought it was in a secure area where no one knew where it was hidden. How did Voltage find it and why did he just damage it?"
"That's what I'm here to find out," said Agent M-8 as she puts her sunglasses back on. "The president wants me to find out by any means necessary to get the information out of Voltage."
"Even harming the prisoner?" asked Brainiac 5 who doesn't approve physically or mentally harming a prisoner. "I'm sorry but we can't allow you to do that."
Agent M-8 takes out a data pad and hands it to Brainiac 5 who reads it. "It's from the president and the world leaders who agreed to let me do whatever it is necessary to find out what Voltage knows. Besides from what I heard that monster likes pain so I have a different idea on how to get the information out of him."
Agent M-8 walks down the hallway heading towards Voltage's cell, but Brainiac 5 stops her after he finished reading the message from the president. "It also says I can be present to make sure you don't kill him. So whether you like it or not I'm going with you and will make sure you don't kill him."
The female agent stares at Brainiac 5 and she knew he was serious. "Fine, but if you try to stop my interrogation just know this. I will take you down."
Brainiac 5 nods his head knowing the woman is serious. "I don't doubt it."
New Metropolis
After the capture of Voltage the citizens went back to work and continued going by their day as if nothing happened. That is until a large fiery object headed towards them. The people took off running as the object crashes in the middle of the city creating a large crater. The people look on wondering what landed as the police arrives backing the people off.
While they waited a large section of the street still covered in smoke erupted in a large exposing, filling the area with smoke as police took up positions ahead. The people took off running while the police wait for the target to emerge.
There was a scream that came from the smoke and a civilian is flung out of the smoke and crashed to the ground, before a long sharp leg skewered his body. A massive machine, easily twenty feet tall with four long, thick metallic grey legs each ending in spikes strode out of the smoke. Where all four legs meet was a body the size of a small van with two powerful arms ending in claws. As for the head, it was v-shaped with a pair of flashing red eyes that scanned the area before launching beams of energy that burned the police to ash.
"Acquiring secondary targets, begin termination." the machine droned.
Legion of Super Heroes HQ
Supergirl is in the memorial room where she decided to pay her respects to her fallen teammates. She arrives to see Light Lass paying respects to her brother who died at the hands of Voltage. Supergirl feels bad about this and knows what it's like to lose someone. She approaches her friend and places her hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, if we had known what Voltage was doing we could have stopped him earlier," said Supergirl wishing they had caught on what Voltage was doing instead of focusing on small time criminals.
"It's okay, I'm glad we caught him and I know my brother would want me to move on," Light Lass wiped away tears that were forming in her eyes. "The hard part for me was telling our parents what happened."
Supergirl knew her friend is right. She had a lot of trouble when she told the parents of her fallen friends what happened and that they died. Many were devastated, some didn't seem to care, and others blamed her for the death of their children. She just hopes this is the last time she loses more teammates to a psychotic killer. Supergirl doesn't know if she'll be able to handle losing more of her friends.
"So, what do we do now?" asked Light Lass.
"Just hope we don't run into someone like Voltage again," said Supergirl hoping and praying they don't lose more friends.
Suddenly Supergirl begins receiving a message from Bouncing Boy. "Kara, we got trouble. Some sort of robot is attacking the city and the police has requested our help."
"Got it, contact Colossal Boy, Cosmic Boy, and Timber Wolf to assist me," said Supergirl knowing she's going to need help to fight the robot and get people to safety. She then turns to Light Lass who looks ready to fight. "Contact Andromeda and Phantom Girl to make sure the people get away from the fighting."
Light Lass nods her head. "I will, you sure you don't need our help?"
Supergirl smiles and reassures her friend all will be okay. "We got this and tell Brainiac 5 what's going on." Supergirl takes off flying out of the room and heads towards the city to take down this robot that is attacking her home.
Meanwhile
Brainiac 5 and Agent M-8 enter the holding cell of Voltage where the agent of GPA is planning on interrogating the electric villain. The young hero didn't like what Agent M-8 is going to do, especially since it goes against what he stands for, but he knew there is no choice in this. The orders came from the world leaders and the president.
"Remember no electronics of any kind," said Brainiac 5 reminding Agent M-8 about the use of technology inside the holding cell. "We can't afford him to try escaping or using any technology to try to use to escape."
Agent M-8 looks at Brainiac 5 raising her eyebrow. "What about you? Aren't you concern he won't use you to escape?"
Brainiac 5 shakes his head. "I have made sure my body is immune from Voltage taking it over. Also remember he likes to talk and insult people so don't let him get to you with what he says."
The female agent rolls her eyes and nods her head. "He's not the first guy I had to deal with who uses insults."
Brainiac 5 can tell the woman is serious and is curious about her. "I see, well just be careful around her."
As they make their way inside Bouncing Boy approaches his friend. "Brainiac, we have a problem. A robot has been sighted in the city and Supergirl took off to fight the robot."
Brainiac 5 sighs knowing this is the last thing they needed. He turns to Agent M-8 who is waiting for him. "Um listen I have to go. Can we do this another time?"Agent M-8 shows Brainiac 5 the data pad knowing that's out of the option. "Fine, Bouncing Boy you stay with her and make sure she doesn't harm Voltage."
Brainiac 5 takes off leaving Bouncing Boy alone with the federal agent. "All right ma'am if you follow me we can begin with the interrogation."
Agent M-8 approaches Bouncing Boy and sprays him with an orange gas knocking the hero out. She then walks towards the holding cell and goes inside. There she sees the room is made out of rubber and rods that suck away Voltage's energy if he gets violent. The electric villain is locked in a see through plastic containment cell where he can't escape.
"Are you Voltage?" asked Agent M-8.
Voltage sees the woman and begins to laugh. "Are you my smoking hot lawyer?"
Agent M-8 removes her sunglasses and puts them away. "No I'm not. I'm Agent M-8 of the Global Protection Agency."
"GPA?" asked Voltage before he breaks out in laughter. "What a fucking stupid name."
Again the female agent is not amuse or shows sign of emotions. "I came here to asks you some questions. If you don't answer them truthfully then this will end bad."
This got Voltage's attention and he approaches the woman. No one threatens me you bitch."
Agent M-8 approaches Voltage as they're inches away from each other. "Until I get what I want you're going to become my bitch."
Agent M-8 takes out a small device and uses it which creates a loud screeching sound that is causing Voltage a lot of pain, but she is immune from it. The electric villain begins to scream and tries to escape from his prison cell, but to no avail. The rods begin zapping away Voltage's powers causing him more pain. Agent M-8 stops the device which stops the noise.
"Now then let's start over," said Agent M-8 as Voltage gets up slowly and glares at the woman. "Shall we?"
New Metropolis
The robot continues its attack destroying anyone and anything that stands in its way. The police tried to stop the robot, but its armour made it impossible for their weapons to penetrate. This would cause the robot to blast the police killing them. The law enforcement decided to try to hold the robot back, while they evacuate the people who are trying to get away.
The robot grabs a bus and throws it towards a group of children, but then the bus is caught in mid air before it hits the kids. The kids look up and see its Supergirl who grabbed the bus and tosses it towards the robot hitting it, but it didn't go down.
Supergirl turns to the kids knowing they had to get away. "Follow the adults and get out of here kids, now."
The kids listen to Supergirl and take off, while the young heroine charges at the robot. The robot swings one of its long arms at the heroine who dodges it and punches the robot in the face. The robot staggers a bit, but it doesn't go down so it slams its other arm grabbing Supergirl with its claws. She tries to break free of the claws, but as she moves the claws away from her the other arm claw grabs her then slams her to the ground.
The robot continues to slam Supergirl on the ground over and over until it throws her towards the ground. The robot approaches the disoriented heroine and tries to crush her with its metal legs, but she uses her freeze breathe on the leg. Once it became frozen she dodges the attack as the leg come crashing down hard shattering the leg leaving the robot with three.
"Take that you tin head," said Supergirl taunting the robot, until she saw it detached the frozen leg and a new one appears. "Oh come on that's so not fair!"
The robot shoots a laser blast towards Supergirl who counters with her heat vision. Both attacks collide and the young heroine concentrates to try to deflect the attack back at the robot. The robot begins going over the numbers and comes up with a plan. It fires off four missiles towards Supergirl who doesn't have time to dodge the attacks. The missiles hit her and the robot's laser blast hits Supergirl sending her to the ground.
The robot approaches the injured heroine and goes to finish her off. As the robot goes to crush her a fast blur grabs Supergirl taking off with her. The robot tries to stop the blur, but then four lamp posts are seen lifted off the ground and wrap themselves around the robot's legs, and arms trapping it. The robot looks over and sees another hero appear with his hands glowing around the lamp posts.
"Magnetism Manipulation, nice trick huh?" said the hero Cosmic Boy who uses his powers to control the metal lamppost. "Doesn't work on you for some reason, but oh well this will have to do to take you down."
Before the robot can break free another hero, Colossal Boy appears behind the robot and uses his power to grow into his giant form. He then stomps the robot with his feet crushing it. He continues to stomp on the robot until he is sure he has destroyed the robot.
Timber Wolf, another hero returns with Supergirl and sets her down. "Are you all right?"
Supergirl nods her head and stands on her feet. "Thanks guys, what took you so long to get here?"
"Sorry, we were taking care of another crime in another part of the city," said Colossal Boy and looks over where he crushed the robot. "Still, it doesn't look like we weren't needed to take out the bucket of bolts. All it took is one big boot to end this."
Suddenly the heroes can hear some sort of cracking sound underneath Colossal Boy's boot. They then see his boot being lifted by the robot that appears undamaged. The robot throws Colossal Boy's boot causing him to fall, but before he lands on the ground he uses his power to shrink to keep himself from causing any damage. As he gets up to go big again, the robot shoots missiles at him taking out the hero by knocking him out.
Timber Wolf charges at the robot using his super speed and uses his sharp claws to try taking the robot out. However, the robot shoots a cable from its leg wrapping around the young hero and zapping him. The robot then tosses Timber Wolf into a building. The robot uses its laser blast to cause the building to crumble over the hero.
Cosmic Boy uses his powers to lift two cars then tosses them at the robot. However, the robot grabs a car with one of its hand claws and smashes the two cars away. Then it throws the car at Comic Boy who uses his powers to stop it, but when he stopped the vehicle the robot shoots its eye beams at the hero sending him towards a bus.
As the robot is about to finish him off, Supergirl tackles the robot flying away from her friends to keep them safe. The robot shocks then uses an electric shock that shocks the young heroine causing her to let go. The robot then grabs Supergirl and begins slamming her over and over to the ground for almost a minute at high speed creating a crater and once it finished the robot leaves her in the crater injured.
The robot uses rockets from beneath its feet to fly up towards a building where it got a good view of the injured heroine. The robot goes over some calculations and simulations before coming up with a plan on how to kill the Kryptonian girl. The robot begins gathering power for its eye blasts. Then it gets a lock on Supergirl and makes sure to narrow its eye blasts into one attack.
By doing this the robot is sure its eye blasts will pierce through Supergirl's chest killing her. Once she is dead it will resume its previous attack and that is wiping away the humans. As the robot continues gathering energy and aiming at Supergirl its vision of the heroine is suddenly block. The robot's sensors detect another life form blocking its view. The robot sees it's a soul reaper and is protecting Supergirl.
"I don't know who you are or why you have come here," said the Soul Reaper speaking in a calm tone. "But if you want to fight someone, why don't you try fighting me?"
"Target identified as Soul Reaper. Threat level medium. Termination will begin."
"Medium huh? I'll show you," the soul reaper takes out his sword and the handle begins to glow red. "Let's do this."
The robot finishes up charging its attack and takes aim at the soul reaper. It fires its attack which heads towards the Soul Reaper who smiles. "Hi Ryū (fire dragon)!"
The Soul Reaper swings his sword which sends a powerful fire blast towards the robot. The attack of the robot is deflected and the robot soon is engulfed in the fire destroying it. The Soul Reaper pulls his sword back and places it in its sheath stopping the fire. As the fire disperses the only thing left of the robot is ashes.
Supergirl wakes up and sees Nathan helping her up. "You okay?"
The young heroine is surprise to see Nathan is here, but after all the times he has helped her she shouldn't be surprise anymore. "Nathan, what are you...wait let me guess you got rid of the robot?"
Nathan points to the ashes falling down from the sky. "What do you think?"
Supergirl sighs and rubs her head. "You soul reapers make fighting bad guys look so easy."
"Sometimes it is and sorry again for getting involved," said Nathan apologizing to Supergirl for again getting involve in a fight when he is not suppose to. "But when I saw that bucket of bolts about to kill you I had no choice."
Supergirl should be mad that Nathan broke the rules again, but is glad he did get involve. She knew that robot was going to kill her and if it wasn't for Nathan's involvement she wouldn't be standing where she is now.
"Thank you Nathan for the help," said Supergirl.
"You're welcome," said Nathan who can sense Supergirl's friends heading their way. "I better get going then before your buddies arrive. See ya later."
"Wait," said Supergirl knowing this is probably not a good idea, but she does owe Nathan for all he has done. "About you asking me out for lunch, I accept."
Nathan looks excited and happy that Supergirl is going with him out for lunch. "Really?"
Supergirl lifts her finger up to stop Nathan from talking. "As friends, we're going out to lunch as friends, okay?"
Nathan is okay with this and knew they were going out as friends. "All right I'll meet you at the Pizza Hut V2 around the corner at 4."
Supergirl nods her head as Nathan takes off using flash step just as her friends arrive. "Hey guys, what took you so long to get here?"
"Sorry we were just...wait where's the robot?" asked Colossal Boy wondering where the robot is at. "Did you destroy it?"
Supergirl didn't want to lie to her teammates, but she knew they would tell Brainiac 5 about Nathan getting involved. "In a way yes, anyways let's go find where it came from and report back to the others. I have a want to know who made this and why."
The three male heroes nod their heads and head off to find the ship the robot came in from. As they left a cloak figure watches on as the heroes take off. The figure looks over where Nathan is at and follows the young soul reaper. "Nathan, you are so going to get it."
(Unknown Location)
It was almost funny. Almost because it couldn't be funny. Humour was irrelevant.
The UDF-XL9 had been defeated by a Soul Reaper. One who clearly did not value the rules that governed the planet. That could be exploited quite easily. Organics were so easy to manipulate.
"Awaiting orders." The computer's voice announced, "UDF-XL9 recovered information at 96.5%."
So one of the oldest robot models had failed. No matter. There were far more advanced ones waiting to be deployed, and with the information recovered they would be more than a match for these so-called heroes and this Soul Reaper.
Everything was going according to plan. Soon, very soon, the C.O.I.s would be born and they would be invincible thanks to all the upgrades at hand.
The planet of Earth 2 would be utterly destroyed by superior might and technology while the organics watched their own destruction.
A smile crossed the face as the green eyes turned red, "Begin upgrades 2174 to 2200. There will be nothing to stop the purification now."
Cold, emotionless laughter rang through the hallways as endless waves of machines rolled off assembly lines. Millions of them. All far stronger and smarter than the UDF-XL9 had been. Each one took their place inside the massive transports, awaiting deployment to Earth 2 where the slaughter of humanity would be completed.
"There is no-one, and nothing," the red eyes relaxed to green, "That can stop me now."
A countdown began. A countdown to launch the millions of machines at Earth 2. A countdown to destruction.
End of the fourth chapter and it looks like something bad is heading towards Earth 2. Will the planet find out of the arriving evil or will it be too late? Who is following Nathan? And there's a Pizza Hutt 2? Please leave reviews and let us know what you all thought of the chapter. Nothing negative or any flame reviews please. Take care and have a nice day.
