Atlantis

Aqualad, Kaldur'ahm to be exact, stood in the court of his King. He glanced to the side as he heard a call coming through on his earpiece. It was Supergirls S.O.S.

"Calling all Titans, Titans Tower is under attack! I repeat, Titans Tower is under attack! Need aid, immideatly!"

"My king, the Titans require assitance." Aqualad informs his mentor.

"I know." Arthur answers, walking past his pupil and towards his throne to take a seat.

"Should we not go?"

"The surface has cost us enough. We stay here and fortify our defenses for when they come to us."

"If we aid our allies up above we can stop our enemies before they reach us."

"..."

"... Fine. I shall go it alone." Kald said as he left his kings chamber.

He darted out from the palace of Atlantis and dashed through the sea with his twin blades sheathed on his back.


Titans Tower Beach

Titans Tower was on fire. The Metallos surrounding it from both the air and the ground. Aqualad marched onto the beach, dripping from the seawater, and held his weapons in hand. The Metallos turned and approached him. Kald cut the first two down with his weapons before kicking the third back and into several others. Each of which simply rose back up. A series of lighting volts then struck each one,mixing with the water Aqualad had drenched them in and detonating them. Kald looked up and saw Static Shock hovering down from the sky on his retractable disc.

"Aqualad. It's been years since I saw you. Thought you got caught in a fishing net or froze in the artic."

"Your humor eludes me, Static. Where's Gears?"

"Guarding the home town with the other Bang Babies while I came to answer the Titans call. Good to see I'm not the only one."

First one to enter the fight is Aqualad.

"I'll go low, you go high." He tells Static as he walks forward.

Static flies up and away, leaving Aqualad to deal with the ground forces. The first Metallo approaches Aqualad. Aqualad swings one arm forward, changing his blade into pure water and lashing it out in a whip, pushing Metallo back. He follows up by gripping his other swords handle and remolding the water that made it into a harpoon, tossing it and skewering Metallo before summoning it back to his hand, dragging Metallo forward a couple of steps. Aqualad wraps both blade handles around Metallo's neck and pulls him down to knee his face before kicking him in the torso and pushing him back. The unit explodes, letting another Metallo to take its place. Aqualad tosses one of his blades like a boomerang, cutting the Metallo as it flies past him, and followed it by sliding across the floor and into Metallo, pushing him back, before catching the blade as it flies back and cuts Metallo in the process. Aqualad then runs around Metallo and locks his handles around his neck once more, lifting him over his head and throwing him across the ground, causing him to explode upon impact with the floor.

Kald flexes causing some moisture to ride off of him, possibly the water his body had absorbed from the sea. But it was not long until a new Metallo arrived. It shot over the rocket fist, which Aqualad had blocked with his twin swords. He then turns and takes hold of a boulder, swinging it and throwing it at Metallo, knocking him down. Aqualad slides across the ground to reach Metallo sooner, so that when he stood back up Kald could run both blades into his torso and pulls them out by kicking him off. The unit detonated, allowing for another to come in. The new unit used a Kryptonite Scatter Beam to daze Kald and took hold of him by his throat, shooting him into the air with his exploding rocket fist. As Kald got back to his feet, he stomped into the ground and began to pour out water from his body. He was now gliding across the ground, moving faster than Metallo could strike, and dashed by him, similar to Flashes attack. The unit soon explodes, unable to keep up with Aqualad.

Kald looked around, observing all the scraps of various Metallo's he had toppoled. Static hovers down to him, both looking equally exhausted.

"The more we strike down, the more arrive." Aqualad states.

"We'd need an army of our own if we'd hope to win this fight." And as Static said that, the cries of a whale fill the air.

The humps of some sort of crustacious creature begins to surface. Something resembling a cross between a lobster and a tyrannosaur storms onto land. Followed by two, then four, then eight, the number of them continuley rising. One of them widens their mouth lashing out several cephalopod tendrils that ensnared and crushed the Metallo's. Static and Aqualad watched on in amazment.

"Should've done that sooner."

"It wasn't me."

Elsewhere, in the city, the forces of Atlantis march onto the surface. Arthur leading the charge.

"Return them to their maker in pieces!" Aquaman commands as his soldiers charge into the city.

On a nearby rooftop, Kid Flash and Arsenal watch on.

"Aquaman? He's a good guy again?" Wally asks.

"Huh, that fourtane cookie was right. Today is full of surprises." Arsenal answers before the two press forward.

Meanwhile, Aqualad and Static continue their fight, zapping and cutting their way through the robotic horde. Kald then looks to one of the Bomb Tombs opening up as more Metallos March out.

"Do you think those things go both ways?" Static asks.

"Suppose there's only one way to find out." Kald answers.

Both of them dashing towards the portal and leaping through.


Cadmus Labs

Cyborg stands in the middle of a room, placed high above the rest on a platform with several tubes pulsing energy into him. Around him, just one floor level below, a number of engineers and technicians operate the controls below. One of them turns as they hear a struggle breaking out in the halls. From one of the corridors, an engineer goes flying out. Static and Kald had found their way to Cyborg.

"See, told ya. I'd recognize that electirc signature from anywhere."

"It would seem you are more than just lights and quips, Static."

"Yeah, I- Hey wait a minute!"

The two cease their banter as another speaks to them. The rantings of being called a crud-muncher fills the air. Croc and Gizmo step into the room from where everyone else was running away into.

"You take the glorified patato Croc, my tech and electricity don't mix so well in heavy doses."

"My hide will reduce your sparks to nothing more than a lite tickle!"

Static steps up for his fight as Aqualad and Gizmo zoom off to the side. Static strikes first, holding his hands out and firing a lightingbolt from his hand, swiping across the control room and hitting Croc, but failing to knock him down due to his resistance to electricity. Croc stomps the floor, shaking Vergil where he stood. Croc charged forward, mowing Vergil down and swatting his tail down onto him. He turns as Static gets back up, more pissed than hurt. Static tosses a ball made of lighting across the air, like a friendly game of catch, and hits Croc in the face, dazzling him. Static then wipped out his hovering disc and dashed underneath Croc with it, swipping his legs out from under him and toppling him. He then turns and dives into the downed Croc and summons for a volt to strike right atop of him before leaping off and storing his disc back into his jacket. Croc reaches up and grabs a passing drone, throwing it down and into Vergil, knocking him back. However, this played into Vergils favor as it had put some distance in between him and Croc. Static leapt back up and jumped into the air, using his lighting to propel him forward and over Croc, landing behind him where he would place his hands on his spine and discharge into him with enough energy built up to blow up and send Croc flying forward.

Vergil chuckles, casting the same symbol on his homemade shirt over his head with his powers. Croc, snorting and ready for another go, leaps back up. Vergil leaps off of a nearby control panel as Croc dashes forward, not only dodging him but overloading the panel and having it explode with Croc next to it. Static fires off another stream of lighting from his hands, barely hurting Croc, and leaps back to gain enough distance so that Croc wouldn't be able to hit him with another charge. Croc, knowing it would hit, proceeded to do one anyways. All the while, Static built enough energy into an orb over his head that he held in both hands and tossed it into the ground, sending a surge of electricity through the floor. Had Croc been further away he would've been able to jump it, though it mattered little as his resistance allowed him to recover rather quickly. He leapt down bitting at Vergil, and preformed a deathroll with him in mouth before spitting him out. Static rose back up and pulled out his disc, throwing it across the room and cutting Croc with it. On its way back, it swept Croc's legs out from underneath him and Static leapt off of it to stomp on Croc and discharge another orb of electricity into him.

"Lights out leatherback."

Static looked up and watched as Kald was thrown over head. He landed against a wall and Vergil ran to him.

"Discount Gears given ya trouble?"

"No, he has a friend."

Brother Blood then walks over with Gizmo by his side.

"Incredible, is it not Aqualad? Once, Cyborg and I were the greatest of enemies. Now, only when chained together by the shackles of servitude, we find ourselves the closest of allies."

"Take Cyborg down from there, let's see if he feels the same way." Static answers.

Now both he and Aqualad step up to the tag team of Brother Blood and Gizmo. The first two to Clash would be Blood and Static. Static made the first move, firing a volt from his hands and across the room at Blood. Blood was quick though and blocked by summoning his wall of fire to guard him. Blood, using his range to his advantege, summons his fist construct made from flames to uppercut Vergil. He then stomps down with his leg coated in fire and by doing so had summoned a leg construct to stomp on Static, pressing him into the ground. Static tagged out, leaping back as Aqualad took his place. Kald's resistance to fire made it easier for him to bounce back from Bloods simple summons. Aqualad swung one of his blades out, breaking it down into a whip, and struck Blood with it. He does the same with his second blade but lassos it around Bloods neck this time, yanking him forward and impaling him on his free blade before hoisting him over head and tossing him. Aqualad then leaps back and tags Vergil in. The moisture from Aqualads attacks still dampening Blood, making him less resistant to Statics lighitng. Vergil held his arms over his head and formed an orb of lighting, tossed it to the floor, lighting up the stage and tazzing Blood. While stunned in place, Vergil shot out another volt from his hands and across the room, knocking Blood out of view and leaving Gizmo to take his place. Gizmo being at a disadvantege now as his tech was highly vulnerable to Static's high voltage. Static strikes first by tossing a baseball sized orb of lighitng at Gizmo, dazzling his eyes and leaving him open for Static to fire a volt across the room at him. Static leaps back and let's Kald take the fight. Kald combines both handles of swords and forms a harpoon, tossing it at Gizmo but is blocked by Gizmos dome shield. Gizmo tries to strike back with a small rocket launching from his jetpack but barely misses as Aqualad slides across the ground while crouching. Kald stops and stands back up in the center of the room, utilizing the whip attack of his swords, pulling Gizmo in and pressing him to the floor with a foot before reshaping his other sword into a trident in which he thrusts down onto him before kicking him across the other side of the room.

Gizmo gets back up, beating his gaming controller to start his packs jets back up. Gizmo attacks by activating his shoulder mounted tazzer, hurting Aqualad especially due to his vulnerability to electricity. This left Kald open for a rocket blast from Gizmo, pelting him with the three smaller ones that break off from the larger first one. Aqualad leapt back up and dove out of view, letting Static fill in for him. Static socked his fists together and began to surge with electricity riding up and down his arms. Gizmo launched his tazzer attack at Static, his missle attack, and even a bomb that glided across the ground, all of which were easy to block for the charged up Static. In response to the assault, Vergil fired out a supercharged volt from his hands, blasting through Gizmo's defenses and tazzing him. Static then pulled out his disc and threw it, sending Gizmo flying back, bolting him again, and striking him a third time from behind as the disc hurled back to Vergil. Gizmo is sent flying out of view, leaving only Blood to take up the fight. He tried to summon his constructs but his ranged attacks proved useless as Static was also capable of such feats. Dazing Blood with his baseball bolt, zapping him through the floor with his atlas orb volt, and striking him quicker than he could move with his dual-hand volt. Blood was quickly defeated.

Both Blood and Gizmo were laid out on the floor.

"We did it." Static said in shock.

"Our job's not done yet." Aqualad retorted.

The two climbed up to Cyborg and inspected the wires.

"What do we do?" Kald asked.

"This." Vergil answered as he took hold of the wire plugged into Cy's back.

Had he been anyone else the surge of electric discharge would've blown him away. With all of his might, Vergil pryed the screaming Victor Stone from his insidious hook up. Both of the Titans took a step back and readied themselves for a fight, remembering that this is not their friend but a Regime member. Cyborg rubbed his head and turned to the two, his bionic eye frittzing out.

"Ver... Vergil? Aqualad?"

"Yeah... Do you know where you are Vic?" Static asked.

"Not a clue. But I can take a guess." Cyborg answered, firing a beam out with his Cyonic Cannon arm.

Both Titans leap aside,dodging the blast.

"The two of us versus you? Hate to say it but you got boned Stone!" Static states with a smirk.

He then notices a red target skimming across the floor and towards him. Static leaps out of its way as a beam shoots down from the sky.

"Don't count me out so quick, kid. I've got friends in high places."

The Titans reform their tagteam order, standing against Cyborg together. First opponent being Static. He starts by shooting out a volt from his hands and across the room, but Cy dodges by leaping off of a nearby control panel and landing behind Verg. Cy then blasts Static back with his Cyonic Cannon and follows it up by summoning a Parademon from a Boom Tomb, having it hover over his shoulder as He steps towards Static. Meanwhile, the targeting system from the Electric Eye sweeps across the floor, growing closer to Static as it closes in its crosshairs. Surrounded and outnumbered, Static did not know any fear, as he pulled out his disc and rode it under Cyborg, knocking out his legs from underneath him, dodging the Electirc Eyes beam and wasting the Parademon summon by watching it commit suicide as it pulled its collar off and activated its detonation. Static landed and tossed the disc back at Cyborg the moment he got up, cutting him when sending it out and once again when summoning it back to his hand. Yet this chain of attacks came to an end when a second beam from the Electric Eye hit Static, stunning him. This gave time for Cy to leap up and grab a drone that was passing by, throwing it at Vergil and knocking him to the floor. Vergil tags out, leaping out of view as Aqualad enters the ring. Cyborg greets his old firend by leaping across the room with his hand altered into a jumbofist and slamming it down onto him. Vic continued the assault by kicking him like a football while Kald lied before his feet and sent him flying back. Aqualad leapt back up only to be quickly knocked back down as Cyborg tackled him like a quarterback would, landing atop of him and beating his face into the ground with three brutal punches. Cyborg gets off and shoots a beam into the air yelling his signature Booyah while doing so.

Aqualad gets back to his feet and flexes to moisten up his body. As the targeting system locks onto him he slides across the floor, tripping Cyborg and dodging the Electric Eyes beam. While he's on the floor, Kald turns and uses his whip attacks on Cyborg, lashing his back, lassoing his waist and slamming him back into the floor. Aqualad then leaps out of view as Static jumps into his place and tosses one of his Lighting Atlas Orbs to the floor, the water covering the stage and his electronic nature causing Cyborg to build up in damage. Vergil chuckles while playing with an electric current between his own hands before smashing them together to make sparks fly out of them.

Cyborg leaps back to his feet and pries a control panel out of the wall behind him, throwing it at Vergil. Static is hit and sent flying back with the Electric Eye following close behind him. He leaps back up and as the Electric Eye is ready to fire, Vergil leaps off of a nearby control panel and towards Cyborg. Static claps his hands together, pushing out a ring of electricity around him and tazzing Cy, leaving him open for Static to grab hold of him, discharge some volts into him and throw him over head into the floor. Cyborg gets back up and summons another Parademon to his side. He then leaps up and grabs a drone hovering over head to toss at Static. Vergil blocks this object by building his Volt Wall and punches it forward. Cy counters by sending his Parademon forward to take the hit, causing it to explode, leaving Static defensless as Vic leaps over with his modified fist and slams Vergil into the ground. Cyborg readies to deliever the final blow but is stopped when Static flexes his muscles and sends out a bubble of lighting out, stunning Cyborg.

Static pulls out his disc and hops abroad it, firing out some volts from his hand to cling Cyborg to him as he flew up and into the sky. The two fly into a storm where Static released his pull on Cy, leaving him to freefall. Vergil then clentches his fist up into the air where several bolts strike it and build up the friction around it. Static then turns and dives back out of the air. Cyborg hits the ground followed by Static striking atop of him, sending off a EMP Wave.

"You may be Cyborg, but you're not even half the man you used to be."

"Is he...?" Aqualad asks.

"Nah, he'll live. Hopefully some sense has been knocked into him too."

"Third Level, come in! What's happening down there?" The duo turn to a intercom placed on a control panel. "Repeat, third level do you copy? Damn it, where is everyone?"

"Well well, what do we have here?" Static asks while placing a hand on the panel.

With a slight discharge. He's hacked the system, scrolling through countless of slides in just a few seconds.

"Since when can you do that?"

"Been practicing it in computer labs, makes homework a breeze. Among other things."

"There!" Aqualad says, pointing to a map with Batman and Slades picture to the side of it. "They have Batman?"

"Hold up, let me send an S.O.S out to the others. Alright, let's go!" Vergil and Kald run off, leaving the signal on the monitor to go off.

The screen of the monitor then changes to Brother Eye.
