Chapter 9

Note - I will admit, so far, my favorite character personification is Gorilla Grodd.


Grodd laughed evilly. He was in a room with only Professor Zoom, the Thinker, and T.O. Morrow. The people were all Elite members of the Flash Exterminators, including Captain Cold. Since these members were the ones who were assisting Grodd in building a new organization to defeat the Justice League, Grodd had decided, when his idea was enacted upon, to give them information until all six Elite members were recruited. Grodd said "It's perfect for the Legion of Doom as of now. Doctor Sivana brought in Black Adam, Captain Nazi, Doctor Death, Dummy, Ibac, I.Q., King Kull, Matter Master, Mister Atom, Monocle, Professor Ivo, Sabbac, Shadow Thief, and Veronica Cale. Doctor Psycho's team brought in Devastation, Maxwell Lord, and Silver Swan. He reported that Egg Fu refused to join our society. Calculator is currently planning for what we are to do as soon as formal recruitment ends. I will be checking in with Vandal Savage soon. The Rogues should be recruiting our sixth Elite member, Ocean Master, soon. I now invite all three of you with the addition of the Rogues to be in the Legion of Doom. After the six Elite members are recruited, I will no longer be filling you in on these details because it will begin to exist as a separate organization. Currently, the Legion of Doom is not yet an organization itself but rather a future project." stated the evil genius.

Professor Zoom smiled. "Now that it's out of the way, I want to tell you all that I am inducting the Top into the Rogues. He has shown his abilities to be very productive and I will be notifying the Rogues and the villain shortly. Anyways, that team caught three members of the Justice League investigating the facility's disappearance. Aztek, Green Lantern, and Vigilante are now in our prisons." T.O. Morrow said "I've already copied down the designs of the Justice League comm devices. I believe that they can be used in the future if I am able to recreate them correctly. Also I am temporarily suspending my infiltration project due to lack of funding and new priorities." "I have no further reports, as of now. I have calculated that the expenses of assisting the Legion of Doom totals over $5,000,000." analyzed the Thinker. Grodd nearly choked. "That is an outrageous demand. Obviously, the Elite will consider compensation of an appropriate amount. It would do well not to test the patience of the leader. I believe this meeting is over."


Batman told the Leaguers "Take them down hard." Deathstroke leapt to face Hawk. Hawk charged at Deathstroke but he was prepared and did a frontal flip. As Hawk turned around, Deathstroke sent a flying kick, knocking him off the building. The hero crashed into another building's windows, knocked unconscious. He saw that his chance to kill Batman was gone so he slipped into the shadows.

Dove found himself looking at a strange-looking assassin. "How about we can talk about this over lunch instead of fighting? To you, fighting is simply a method to ease pain by inflicting it upon others inferior to yourself." In response, the assassin attempted a leg sweep but Dove simply did a flip backwards. "I'll give you one more chance. I honestly don't want to hurt you at all." The villain faked an uppercut and delivered three blows to the stomach, with sharp blades attached to his knuckles. Dove stumbled back bleeding, "Know the one who is the greatest killer and shall destroy you. My name is Saiko." He launched himself at Dove with a flying kick. Dove caught the leg and threw him into the building. In the air, Saiko took out a revolver and shot at Dove twice before being knocked out. The first bullet embedded him in the shoulder. The second bullet went into the stomach. The hero fell to the ground, losing a lot of blood.


Captain Atom flew to where one of the assassins was. "I'm telling you to surrender now or else you're screwed." The assassin quickly took out a strange-looking gun and fired at Captain Atom in seconds. The ray hit him and he suddenly felt powerless. He collapsed on the building but was still conscious. He suddenly heard a voice in his head. "The name's Tommy Monoghan. I'm called the Hitman for a reason. The experience you're having is thanks to my power-dampening revolver. You won't be able to use most of your powers for time period. You are a living containment suit of energy so the blast would physically wound you more than others. Well, you can't die in the normal sense so I'll leave you alone for now." Captain Atom slipped into unconsciousness as the Hitman left with all his weaponry because the target had escaped.


An assassin was about to shoot a rocket launcher at Booster Gold before being quickly blasted into unconsciousness. "Skeets, I'm trying to be modest but wasn't that a bit too easy?" said Booster Gold as he blasted another assassin into unconsciousness. "Sir, Alpha is a well-respected assassin that has not only claimed hundreds of innocent lives but taken down other assassins including Mad Dog. Ubu is also a master assassin that happens to be Ra al Ghul's personal bodyguard. You should not mock dangerous people like them simply because you've defeated them." commented Skeets. Booster Gold had been knocked to the ground by a leg sweep. He couldn't see who the attacker was but was then punched in the face. He blasted at the direction and knocked out a strange-looking assassin. "Who's that, Skeets?" Skeets replied "That was Camorouge, an accomplished international thief and hired assassin." He blasted one unknowing sniper on one building and then a second one on the other. He saw another one and blasted them, each one slipping into unconsciousness. "Sir, you just took down the team of Expediter, Owens, and Z from the League of Assassins." told Skeets. Booster Gold was about to say "I need to focus here, dude." but a bullet slammed into Skeets first.


Note - I will be completing the full-scale battle between the assassins and the heroes in the next two chapters. Review and enjoy, my fellow friends. I'll try making two each week.
