This is all owned by DC, but I am having fun with it.
This chapter is from the POV of Damien or the latest Robin in the comics.
Battle Ready
The team landed on the beach. The sky was nonexistent. Above them, there was a thick layer of rock high above the island. An eerie red glow lit the land washing the white beach in the color of blood. A hand pulled Damien back from the water's edge.
In a gritty voice, Dick gave a devilish smile, "Avoid the river, kid. It's literally the pathway to hell."
Damien glared at the river suspiciously watching the water lap on the beach. He followed the edge between paradise and hell on the beach. On the other end of the sands, a group of statuesque woman approached their group. The women wore matching blood-red tunics covered with skillfully layered bronze armor. Each one carried a round shield, bronze-tipped spear, and a leather sheath bound around their waists. Donna and Diana headed out to meet the infantry grasping arms with the women in greeting. Damien listened carefully trying to assess what they were discussing.
Diana shifted to address the Earthly heroes, "Scouts spotted a small group of lingering shadows lurking back the cliffs and dropping off into the River Styx. Ares has sent shades to search the island again. We have spotted the spies moving across our lands nearly everyday now. The infantry will assembly 500 meters south of here. The cavalry is preparing as we speak. The League on the ground needs to hold the left flank while the League in the air provides cover for the Amazon riders. Io and Agathe have brought extra weaponry."
"How long till Ares shows up?" Superman inquired looking skeptically at the double sided battle axe that Cyborg was studying.
"Now," Diana said with disturbing certainty.
Damien took a battle stance flexing his arms with the katana-style short swords that he received from a spikey haired blond Amazon that nodded at him with surprising respect. He carefully gazed over the surface of the murky water of the River Styx ready to identify any disturbance. Nothing. There was nothing. He snorted in frustrated. Obviously, the reputation of the Amazons was exaggerated. The second that he thought it was the same second the ground started to shake.
A creature with one eye thrust up out of the water towering thirty feet above the beach, and it was only at waist level in the river. As five more Cyclopes emerged from the river, dark, slithering guardsman became to climb from the dark depths of the river as well. Involuntarily, Damien's eyes went wide at the towering figures and slinking army of dead. The glowing eyes of the corpse-like shadows reminded him briefly of the manic lunacy that shined in the eyes of the Joker. He swore that there was a hunger in their eyes-a hunger for flesh, living flesh.
"Stay sharp. These things are already dead, so chopping them up may not stop them until they're actual dust. If the line breaks, fall back with the Amazons. Find Donna," Batman commanded as he assumed his own fighting stance. He whirled a spear low as if it was a bo staff.
"Only cowards turn in a fight," Damien voiced his opinion of retreating.
"And acting as a lone fighter will have a group of innocent Amazons running in to save your self righteous ass. Don't get one of them killed because you have a big head," Batman commanded.
Damien glared at his mentor through his cowl and gave the man a slight pout like a petulant child. He withheld his personal thoughts and ran into battle after hundreds of Amazons. Dick smirked flexing his bo staff ready to follow young Robin into battle. He stopped for a moment to see a shadow fly over the Amazon. He looked up to see a cavalry of flying horses carrying Amazons with bows into the conflict. He was surprised for a moment when he saw a mysterious figure in black leading the legion instead of Hippolyta. He grimaced for a moment as suspicion crawling all over his mind. Releasing the thought, he pushed the thought to the back of his mind before he charged into the gore.
A/N: Should I write the battle scene. It's not my forte, but I'll give it a whirl if you want it.
Lady-Isis: Can you guess who the mysterious figure in black is? It's about to get interesting people, I promise.
