Time to get back to our hero's as they discover Regime Superman's plan to draw them out.
After the hero's explained the situation to Cyborg, he instantly was keen to help out. Insurgent Deathstroke just stood in the shadow listing to their plan of action. While Insurgent Lex Luthor made sure he helped out as much as he can.
"Alright. Let's rev up your transporter, fix the laser in our dimension." suggested Cyborg, at least in their dimension they had the resources to fix it.
"And come back with reinforcements." added Green Lantern.
"I'm sure I can-"
"There's no time. Insurgent Batman interrupted Wonder Woman as he walked towards the table.
"Why not?" asked Manzilla as Insurgent Batman brought up a live video of Regime Superman making an announcement.
"Five years ago a tragic event cost the lives of millions" addressed Regime Superman through the video. "Overwhelmed by guilt for the part he played in the destruction, he was driven mad...He became an agent of chaos; an emery of peace and security."
"I can't believe him..." growled Manzilla angered by Regime Superman words of so-called 'peace'.
"But no longer. The leader of the Insurgency will pay for his crimes..." declared Regime Superman catching everyone's attention. Even drawing Insurgent Deathstroke out of the shadows.
"Oh I don't like this." said Green Lantern knowing he was talking about their Batman.
"At six P-M local time, Batman will be executed at Skryker's Island." Regime Superman went on. "Many Roo have mercy on his soul" he finished as Insurgent Batman stopped the video.
"Getting help will have to wait. Rescuing Batman just became our priority." explained Insurgent Batman.
"It's a trap." said a wise Aquaman.
"Of course it is." knew Insurgent Batman.
"They want us to come out and face them..." added Manzilla knowing what Regime Superman was planning.
"Then we'll have to be sneaky about it." advised Cyborg knowing how risky it will be.
"Sneaky how?" asked Green Lantern.
"The watch tower's teleporter." answered Cyborg.
"Stryker's is equipped with teleportation dampers." explained Insurgent Lex Luthor bringing up a interface of Stryker's Island.
"But they only cover the building." realized Cyborg noticing the damper fields were concentrated around the build, not outside. "Y'just have to get Batman outside."
"Straight through a brick wall. I'm in." volunteered Green Arrow.
"You'll need a diversion. To keep Superman occupied." advised Insurgent Deathstroke knowing Regime Superman will be expecting a rescue.
"Leave that to me." volunteered Aquaman knowing where to get a really big diversion.
"And the rest of us can hold off Superman." added Manzilla knowing they can keep him busy.
"I'll take the teleporter. I'm the most qualified to work it... and..." Cyborg explained as he turned into a perfect version of Regime Cyborg."...I can infiltrate their ranks."
"I'm with you." order Insurgent Deathstroke to Cyborg.
"You and me? Working together? No chance." denied Cyborg instantly not wanting his number on emery behind his back...stabbing a sword though his back.
"The only way to access the watch tower from earth is the Hall of Justice." explained Insurgent Lex Luthor.
"And if your cover's blown, you'll need someone shadowing you." added Insurgent Batman.
"Cyborg." said Manzilla catching his attention. "I know you hate Deathstroke more than anything...but this ain't your Deathstroke." he explained trying to convince Cyborg to go along with it.
"I'm not asking permission." said Insurgent Deathstroke determined to get onto the watch tower.
"But you will follow my lead." Cyborg finally agreed leading Insurgent Deathstroke out.
X 10 minutes later...
With Cyborg, Insurgent Deathstroke making their way to the watch tower. And Aquaman gone to bring in some help from the ocean. Manzilla headed to Wonder Woman and Insurgent Lex Luthor as they listened in on Regime Cyborg.
"How it going?" asked Manzilla only to a receive a 'hush' answer from Wonder Woman.
"Cyborg to Wonder Woman. I've found a duplicate of me." said Regime Cyborg through his communicator.
"Understood. Will send reinforcement. Wonder Woman out." answered Wonder Woman through her communicator giving a smile to Insurgent Lex Luthor as she hung up.
"Wait a minute, how did you hack Regime Cyborg's communicator?" asked a surprised Manzilla.
"Luthor managed to reroute his communicator." answered Wonder Woman taking off her communicator.
"Well that's great, but... aren't you little worried about facing Superman?" asked Manzilla surprised to see her in a good mood.
"Not as worried as you appear to be." answered Insurgent Lex Luthor noticing how nervous Manzilla seemed.
"First off; I'm only worried because Superman killed your Manzilla." explained Manzilla turning his back to them. "Second; Unlike Diana and Hal... I can't fly." Just then, Insurgent Lex Luthor realized he might have something to help out Manzilla.
"Maybe I have something to help you out." said Insurgent Lex Luthor picking up something from side. Looking back at him, Manzilla saw Insurgent Lex Luthor holding what look like a jet pack except... more Luthor.
"You built a jet pack." asked a surprised Wonder Woman.
"It was a prototype I had made before my suit." explained Lex Luthor showing it to Manzilla.
"Um, it doesn't have straps." said Manzilla pointing out the obvious.
"It's not meant to." explained Insurgent Lex Luthor placing it on Manzilla's back as the jet pack split in two, just then, Manzilla felt a slight pinch pain in his back, making him yelp a bit as the jet pack settled on both sides of his spikes. "It taps into your neural system, therefor you can use it similar to how Superman or Wonder Woman fly." At that moment, Manzilla tried to think of flying and the jet pack now attached to his back started to work, causing him to float up in the room.
"Wow, Wow, how do I work this thing!?" asked a panicking Manzilla as he started to crash into the walls and ceiling, causing Wonder Woman to chuckle a bit.
"Calm your mind, James." advised Wonder Woman as she floated up holding his arm so he didn't move about. Gradually, Manzilla started to control his flight as he floated around before settling down on the ground.
"That should give you the edge that my Manzilla didn't have." explained Insurgent Lex Luthor, just then, Insurgent Batman came in along with Green Arrow and Green Lantern.
"Come on. It's time." said Insurgent Batman catching Manzilla's and Wonder Woman's attention.
"Are you ready?" asked Green Lantern seeing Manzilla looking down. Looking back up, Manzilla made up his mind, this was his chance to bring justice for his counterparts death.
"More ready then I'll ever be." answered Manzilla as the others made their way out. But as Manzilla made his way through the door, he noticed Insurgent Lex Luthor checking his computers.
"Luthor? Aren't you coming." asked Manzilla walking to him.
"No, Ferris Industries has prototype technology that I can use to re-weaponize Batman's Kryptonite. I've already sent Deathstroke to retrieve it." explained Insurgent Lex Luthor getting his armor together.
"Re-weaponize? Why didn't you tell Batman while he was here?" asked Manzilla thinking the worse.
"He would of have planned to use it himself. I have to do it."
"Why?"
"He's the face of the Insurgency. If he dies, the Insurgency dies with him." answered Insurgent Lex Luthor getting out the Kryptonite.
"But your Superman's best friend!" shouted Manzilla knowing what would happen to him if he does so. "If he finds out you're helping us, then you won't be able to go 'Oh sorry Supes, won't happen again' because you'll be dead!."
"Then may fortune favor the foolish." answered Insurgent Lex Luthor knowing Manzilla's was right. As Manzilla left the room he took one last look to Insurgent Lex Luthor. Even now, he still can't believe he was worrying about the man that turn him into a freak.
"Good luck Lex's" wished Manzilla as he left.
"We'll need it." whispered Insurgent Lex Luthor as he looked at the Kryptonite. Today, someone is going to die...
Now it's on, now that Manzilla can fly, can he stand against Regime Superman?
