Titans Tower
The Titans of both sides and League members inspect the field of dismantled Metallos.
"That's the last of them, I think." Cyborg says.
"What happened to you back there Cyborg? You left us On our own." Robin asks.
"I remember hacking into Brother Eye, then nothing. It's all blur to me up 'til I wake up with Quinn looming over me. She told me to check the places computer logs and then ran off on her own. I found some... Distrubing content."
"Harley's alive? What about Batman?" Supergirl asks.
"Don't know, don't care. That traitor deserves worse."
"Now is that the Cy I know or has the Mother Box taken control?" Nightwing asks.
"Richard. I'm glad to see you alive and well. Can't say I'm too happy on where you still stand on this debate though."
"Does this mean I'm going to be met with a hug or a punch?" Nightwing asks while holding his batons.
Cyborg inspects the batons and builds his cannon arm.
"Got it." Nightwing says while readying for a fight.
Cyborg lands the first blow, propelling Nightwing back with his seismic cannon arm. Cy follows up the attack by opening a Bomb Tomb and summoning a Parademon to assist him. Nightwing gets back to his feet and tosses a Birdarang, only for it to be blocked by the Parademon. Cyborg counters by launching a small rocket from a turrent mounted on his shoulder. Nightwing ducks, barely missing the rocket, but is left open to the Parademon's kamikaze as Cyborg sends it flying at him and detonates it. True to his football background, Cyborg runs forward and stampedes Nightwing to the floor. He then shoots a beam of his cannon's energy into the air and shouts his signature Booyah.
Richard gets back to his feet, slamming his batons together and discharging some of their electrical volts. Cyborg acts quick and summons his Electric Eye to target onto Nightwing, forcing Dick to remain on the move rather than focusing on attacking him. And while Nightwing is successful in dodging the beam, he remained open for a grapple-hook hand attachment launched from Cyborgs other arm. Cy shouts for Grayson to get over there and meets him with an enlarged fist to the face.
"That's right, that's... Oh man." Cyborg quickly changes his expression from prideful victory to realization of what he's done. "Nightwing, I'm-"
"No need. I knew you just needed a little way to vent some frustration."
"Heh, still my Titan." Cyborg says as he helps Nightwing back to his feet.
"What do you say? Up for one just for old times sake?"
"Let's burn Cadmus to the ground."
Cyborg turns and opens a Bomb Tomb as everyone enters into it.
"If you expect me to get into that thing..." Beetle says.
"It's not a trap." Cyborg answers.
"You'd like to see us locked up, wouldn't ya Stone?" Firestorm adds.
"Yes, but that's not the point. I'm bringing my team too."
"The hell you are." Beetle says while stepping up.
"You runaways are going to your new home, the rest we'll figure out on our own." Firestorm orders while stepping next to Beetle.
The duo engage Cyborg. Beetle is the first to step up. Cyborg utilizes his armored half and football training, ramming Beetle down and trampling over him with a second charge. He swiftly turns and uses his Sismeic cannon to repel Blue as he gets up and off the ground. Beetle rises back to his feet and grabs the mini fridge behind him, tossing it into Cy and causing it to explode, releasing pizza slices and tofu bricks in all directions. Beetle dashes forward, constructing his wings for a moment of flight to grant him more speed, and uses his own constructed cannon arms to blow Cyborg back. Cyborg springs back up and launches his grapple-hook hand at Blue, tazzing him before whipping him into the floor. As Beetle rises back up, Cyborg takes hold of the couch to the side of him and swings it into Beetle. Firestorm then takes his place. Fire starts by building a wall of fire, stopping Cyborg from continuing towards him but within enough of a range of Firestorm for him to fly forward and dash into Cyborg. Cyborg hits the floor as Firestorm hovers over him and changes his body into a led statue, landing in T-stance atop of him. Firestorm reverts back to norm and backs up, shooting some fire out of his hand.
Cyborg leaps back up, slamming an enlarged fist into the floor before resuming his fighting stance. Firestorm made another wall of fire between him and Cyborg, believing this would be enough to protect him. It was not. Cyborg launched his grapple hand and tazzed Firestorm before whipping him into the floor. By then, the firewall had burnt out and left Firestorm open to Cyborgs next attack. He dashed forward, steam rolling Firestorm like a quarterback. As Firestorm lied on the floor, Cy turned around to face him. As Firestorm got back up, Cyborg tackles him to the floor, modifying his fist and sock Firestorms face into the floor with three clean socks. Firstorm rolls off to the side as Beetle leaps into his place, meeting Cyborg with a blade construct through the chest to hoist him up and into the air and smack him twice in a horizontal fashion with a mallet construct before flinging him off. Cyborg, now with some distance put between him and Blue, activated his Electronic Eye for assitance. Beetle hovers back, doing what he can to avoide the target as it closes in, only to be met by Cyborgs grapple arm as it latches onto him and tazzes him. Cyborg released before continuing with the attack and watched as his Satelite beam struck Beetle.
Beetle, undeterred, leapt back up and shouted at his pack to shut up. Beetle, with the distance between him and Cy, constructed his wings while charging up his thrusters. Cyborg worked his way closer to Blue only for him to be rammed into by Beetle with his blade constructs activated, impaling him as Beetle flew up and into the air before twisting around and throwing him to the floor. While he lied sprawled out, Beetle lands atop of Cyborg with a T-stace. Beetle struck hard but was now slow, using all of his charge to his power up. This allowed Cyborg to twist around and tackle Blue, socking his face into the floor three times. Cyborg got off of him and stood idly by as Beetle pulled himself back up. Cyborg, with Beetle infront of him, takes hold of him by the shoulders and pushes him into a Bomb Tomb portal behind him, turning as another opens from above and spews Beetle into the ground. Beetle bounces off and to the side, leaving Firestorm to take the fight. Cyborg starts by activating his electric eye, keeping Firestorm on the defense. Backed into the wall, Firstorm could only block as the beam shot down and ontop of him. Slightly stunned, Firestorm was incapable of blocking Cyborgs next hit which sent him flying into the window wall next to the former TV screen.
It's discovered the window was another TV monitor as it turns on, changing channels rapidly while zapping Firestorm. The opponent that had socked him into it, Cyborg, then runs up and tackles him through the monitor, using him as a surfboard as they freefall from the top of the tower and lands atop of him, crushing him into the ground of the beach.
Firestorm gets to his feet only to fall to his knees in defeat.
Back in the Tower, Firestorm and Beetle are down on their knees, unable to go on. One of them then looks up as Cyborg looms over them. Cyborg then extends an arm out for them to take, which they do.
"I could've killed ya, but I didn't." Cyborg states.
"That's doesn't change anything." The defeated kid says as he pulls his arm away.
"It does actually." Nightwing answers. "Cyborgs the best we got in the terms of a guide right now. And if we hope to stop this attack, we all need to come together for one last mission. Whether we like it or not, we must unite for one final crisis." Everyone nods in agreement.
Cyborg opens a Boom Tomb for the heroes to tread through.
Cadmus Labs
The otherside of the Boom Tomb opens, allowing the League and both factions of the Titans to step through. The lab was in a more worse for wears as the manufacturing line of Metallos had broken down and the controls Cyborg once was operated by were devestated.
"What is this place?" Beetle asks.
"Ugh!" Everyone turned to Raven as she placed a hand on her forehead. "So many... howling out in pain... So many have been damned here."
"That's more than what I needed to know." Kyle stated.
"There's three levels to this place. Surface, where we're at. The Storage, just down below where the goodies you guys practically handed over to the government when you left the Fortress Of Solitude unguarded. And The Basement. That's where all the inmates are." Cyborg explains.
"Well divide into three teams." Nightwing takes lead. "Cyborg, you, Beetle, Firestorm, figure the controls out and shut this system down for good. Robin, Arsenal, we're clearing out the trophy room. Everyone else, you're the heavy hitters so the inmates will have to fall onto you."
"Understood." Starfire nods.
"Wait, why are you in charge? Like who are you anywa-" Beetle stops as Cyborg and Robin step up to him.
"Know your history kid, that's the original Robin there." Cyborg answers.
"It's his way or no way." Robin adds.
"Go-Got it." Beetle stutters.
His pack taunts him with some beeps only he could understand forcing him to hiss at it to shut up under his breath.
"Titan's, GO! God that feels good to say again!" Nightwing says.
"Music to my ears." Cyborg assures him.
The team divides and heads their own ways. The moment everyone leaves, however, is the moment a voice catches the reamining team's attention.
"Well well well, look what I just spotted in my crosshairs."
"Deadshot!" Cyborg shouts.
"The one and only."
"Keyword being 'uno'." Beetle said.
"You thought I came alone?" As Deadshot asked that, Manbat swept down from the ceiling and hoisted Beetle up with him.
Killer Croc also joined in the fight by bursting out of some debris and deathrolling Firestorm out of view. Cyborg and Deadshot lock eyes, Cy giving just a shrug as his not friends are dragged off into battle. Deadshot answers by taking the saftey off of his rifle. The first blow landed went to Deadshot, bouncing a shot off of the floor and upwards to uppercut Cyborg. His follow up was a straight blast into the chest, barely pushing Cy back but increases in damage as it explodes. Cyborg changes the course of the fight by tearing a control panel off of its barely hanging wires and throwing it into Floyd, whom was blocking it. With his opening, Cy activates his Electric Eye, having it trace towards Deadshot and keeping him on the defensive. Planning ahead of time, Cyborg summons his Parademon crony and begins to charge forward. Deadshot dodges the Electric Eye beam by leaping off of a nearby panel and towards the center of the room, only for the Parademon to grapple onto him and restrain him in place. Cyborg uses his Cyonic Beam to blast Deadshot and the Parademon down, detonating the Parademon as Floyd lands atop of it and sending him flying back into the air. Cyborg used his grapple-arm to catch Deadshot in the air and hoist him over head and into the floor. Cyborg quickly activated his Electronic Eye once more and dashed towards Deadshot as he stood back up. Floyd was met with a tackle and socked into the floor three times before Cyborgs Electric Eye attack beamed down and smoked him.
Floyd leapt back up, switching guns from rifle to dual-magnums. He twisted around to catch sight of Cyborg and spun another one-eighty to fire a shot off of the wall behind him, weave out of the way, and watch it hit Cyborg. Deadshot then combines both magnums and forms a small oozy out of them, riddling Cy full of led. Cyborg launched his grapple-hand once more and this time tazzed Deadshot before pulling himself in to land atop of Floyd. While he was down, Cyborg proceeded to stomp atop of Deadshot and kicked him away. As he was halfway in the process of getting back up, Cy used his grapple-hand again and tazzed Deadshot, finishing the fight by whipping him into the ground.
"If I had time for you..." Cyborg mumbles under his breath.
He turns and finds Manbat hitting the ground.
"Glad to see you showed some restraint." Blue says.
Cyborg then takes aim with his Cyonic Cannon, forcing Beetle to take aim in self defense.
"Get down!"
"Or what!?" Beetle shouts back not seeing the Metallo reaching out of the darkness from behind him.
Beetle is taken out of the fight as a Kryptonite beam blasts him in the back. Cyborg watches, unphased and more pissed that he's now on his own to face the Metallos.
"Damn it, took to long to crash them for good."
Cyborg readied himself for the first Metallo. Metallo struck first, firing it's rocket propelled fist into Cyborg. It then rocketed over to Cy and blasts him with a scatter beam of Kryptonite energy from his chest piece, stunning him in place. It then took hold of Cyborg and socked him in the gut with its nubarm, tazzing him with the missing components. It then finished by detonating with Cyborg still in its grip.
A second took its place, barely planting its feet onto the floor as Cyorg tackled him, socking its face into the floor three times. As Cyborg got back up, he stomped on the Metallos head and activated a trustee under his boot to go off. The Metallo exploded, pushing Cyborg back without hurting him and summoning a third in its place. Metallo attempted to retake the fight with a scatter beam but was too slow, giving Cyborg enough time to dash back and to summon a Parademon slave to his aid. Cy commands the Parademon to charge forward, exploding upon impact but doing little damage to the blocking Metallo. This left Metallo open to the grapple-arm attack, in which it was tazzed and slammed into the floor before exploding.
A fourth Metallo flies into the deceased ones place and locks onto Cyborg. It launches a fist only for it to be blocked by Cyborg. In retaliation, Cy fires a shoulder rocket into the air and watches as it breaks into three smaller ones, raining down on Metallo. While he was dazzed, Cyborg launched his grapple arm at Metallo, tazzing him and pulling himself in to land atop of him. He stomped atop of its head and kicked away, watching as it explodes in the air.
Cyborgs then takes a look around. Seeing that he's in a room filled with the unfinished Metallos and the husks of their deactivated spread through out. All of their eyes begin to light up and turn to glare at him. Cyborg sighs and socks his fists together.
"Booyah..."
