Chapter 9: Big Trouble In the Watchtower
A/N Enjoy and Please Leave a Review
Flash:
"Hello," I says, tapping my phone before bringing it back to my ear. "Hello? Are you there? Pick up! Pick up!"
"Yeah," Green Arrow says, arms crossed and back lending against a wall. "I don't think he's going pick up. Flash, we have to know, who the heck is that guy? Where did he come from?"
"I have no clue. All I know about him is that he's a strong fighter, a talented hacker, and is not a people person."
"What give you that idea," Catwoman asks, adjusting her googles.
"The time he slam my head against the window of batmoblie and threaten to kill me."
"And we're just suppose to not assume this guy is bad or anything," Black Canary says. "I mean, he did just kidnap Firestorm and Blue Beetle."
"I know I'm going out on a limb here Canary, but I don't know. There's something about the man that says something! I honestly don't think he would have taken Firestorm and Blue Beetle without some sort of plan! I'm sure right now, they're just fine.
Firestorm:
"Stay back," we screams, shooting the ground in front of them and covering it with fire. "Stay back or next time, you're barbecue!"
"Behind us," the Professor yells, turning us away to face some more Regime soldiers! Firing off their guns, we blasts the ground and launch into the air, leaving in our dust a blanket of dust!
Coughing and pounding their chest, the soldiers couldn't do anything when we drop to the ground and hurl fireballs at them, knocking each and everyone of them to the ground.
"That went better than plan," I says, smiling and clapping my hands. "No, it did! Yeah, I know the first plan was just to come here, put the bomb in its place, and then leave, and we did most of that before the soldiers came! What I'm saying is that-Oh nevermind! Let just get out of here before we face someone big! Someone threatening! Someone like-duck? Oooooffff!"
Someone tackling me to the ground, I didn't have time to react before someone else jump on! And then someone else! And someone else!"
"Jason," the Professor yells while we struggling to get free. "Those-Those are Brainiac bots! We're begin attack by Brainiac Bots!"
"What?"
The Man:
Dodging to my right, I grab the brainiac bot by its wrist and elbow. Pushing up on the elbow, I rip it off completely and use it to attack the head, the head of the bot slamming against the Watchtower's hall.
"Brainaic bots," Kara screams, backing up as more and more pile into the hallway, their eyes and hands on us. "How! Brainaic is-"
"Gone," I interrupt, backing up alongside Kara. "He's "gone". Unfortunately, his ship isn't. And neither is anything in the ship! These are the leftover bots that weren't destroy during the invasion. On the bright side, at least your crazy cousin is putting them to use and they not just letting them rust. That would be sad. What? I'm more a "user" than a "presenter". And speaking of "user", Kara!"
Watching as some of the bots rush forward, they separate Kara and me! Latching onto Kara like moths to a lights, I pull back my fist as far back into the air as I could. Channeling a little bits of it into my fist, I look toward Kara as she laser through some bots.
"Kara! Lay low!"
Blue Beetle:
Slashing the gun in half, I then pull back my fist and punch the last solider as hard as I could, the solider flying into the air before dropping onto the ground.
"Finalmente," I say, bending over and letting my hands rest on my knees. Letting myself rest a little longer, I activate my wings and left the generator room. Going back to where we first arrived, I drop to the ground when something pop out in front of me and hit me!
"Aaaahhh! What the?"
"Blue Beetle," Hawkgirl says, walking into the hallway, her mace in hand. "I do not know how you got up here, or what you are planning, but I do know it end now!"
Spreading her wings, she leap into the air, raising her mace even further into the air. Bringing my hands together, I form a shield and block the attack! Despite blocking, the attack still knock me down to the ground! Freeing one hand, I turn it into an arm cannon and fire at Hawkgirl, Hawkgirl begin blasts into the ceiling above and dropping.
Now, the both of us getting back to our feet, we prepare for a fight.
"Do you really think you can defeat me," Hawkgirl says, bouncing her mace up and down in one hand. "I was once a member of the Justice League! I fought bad guys for years! I have years and years of experience! You're just a kid!"
"A kid with an arm cannon," I reply, bringing up my dual arm cannons. "Dual arm cannons. Let see how your mace does against these!"
Firing off two shots, Hawkgirl easily block them, slamming them with her mace while moving forward! Preparing a third shot, Hawkgirl hit my arm cannon just as I fire, and then hit me with it!
"Aaaahhh," I yells, falling to the ground. Shaking my head to get rid of the blurriness, I manage to get out of the of Hawkgirl's attack, rolling out of the way of her mace! While Hawkgirl is on her knees, I aim my foot at her. Despite begin short a kick, I got creation and fire off the rocket booster, hitting Hawkgirl directly in the face with a bit of exhaust!
Blind, confuse, and stumbling around, I charge forward. Hawkgirl, now wildly swinging her mace, almost hit me but switching an arm cannon for an arm blade, I block it and put the end of my arm cannon right against her chest. Giving it a few seconds to get enough of a charge, I fire and sent Hawkgirl flying into a wall.
Groaning, moaning, and slowly getting up, I bring back my weapons.
"Where's your experience," I joke, smiling and preparing for the second wind. Back on her feet, Hawkgirl leap into the air and rush toward me, her mace at her side. Hovering in front of me, she strike me over and over again with the mace! Blocking with my shield, I couldn't do anything when Hawkgirl kick me against the window of the Watchtower, the only thing separating us from the breathless space.
"Don't suppose you have a space feature," I ask my Scarab, "Something like a oxygen helmet so if this window crack, I won't dead in the emptiness of space. Wow! Really?"
Hearing a woman screaming, I remember where and what I'm in the middle of. Blocking with my shield once again, the spikes on Hawkgirl's mace still came through, small needles mere inches from my eyes. Struggling to keep the needles from getting any closer, I had to focus on another problem when I heard the sound of glass cracking.
"Hawkgirl," I struggle to say, "Stop! You're breaking the window!"
Going in one ear and out the other, I had to think of something fast. An idea dawning on me, I activate another power of my suit! Two long, large appendage shooting out of the Scarab on my back, I launch them toward Hawkgirl! The first appendage hit Hawkgirl in her chest, distracting her and freeing up some room. The second appendage pierce one of her wings and pin her against the wall. Before she could even scream, I combine my hands once more to form my "big blaster", firing it the second it was ready.
Kara:
"Rockbreaker," the man yells, punching the Watchground's floor with a glowing fist? As he did, the floor shatter and send yellow waves traveling along it, the waves breaking more of the floors as it travel. As the waves hit the bots, they all explode, bits of shrapnel flying all over. Begin right in the middle of a group of bots as they explode, I was expecting to find myself cover from head to toe in shrapnel and broken brainiac bots bits. Instead however, I find myself in what look like a see through ball.
"Force field," the man says, walking up to me, his hand glowing a new color. Fading away a few seconds later, the force field too, he then offer me his hand.
"Come on! I sense that Firestorm and Blue Beetle have already finish their parts. It'll look really bad if we don't do our. Archive aren't much farther."
A little skeptical at first, I took the man's hand. Pulling me up, we travel alongside each other until finally stopping at a lock door.
"Guard please."
Entering the passcode, the door open and the man slip in, leaving me. While gone, I replay what the man says to me a few minutes before.
"I like you," he said. As soon as he said those words, I felt uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable.
"Why did he have to say that? I mean, here of all places! When we're trying to blow up the Watchtower!"
Sighing, I place my fist to my mouth and suck on my lips.
"I can't do this! Not here! Not now! I have to stay on focus and keep an eyes for troub-"
Jumping a little into the air when the door open and the man walks out, he looks around for a bit before grabbing my hand and dragging me.
"Hey," I says, pulling free of him. "What the big idea? What happen in there! Did you get anythings useful?"
"Oh yeah, I got something really, really useful! Some incredible useful information! And as much as I like to tell you right now, I can't."
"Why now?"
"Because we're kind of on a strict time limit. That and also because the crazy king himself, Superman, is coming."
