Endgame
"Time to leave this meat infested world" Black Beetle announced
"Warrior look" The head scientist pointed out the front window "The infestation is aboard ship"
"Enough, the ambassador tied my hands but the ambassador is gone" he made a sword out of his hand "Now all the hero meat will die"
"I would not be so sure" they turned to see Aqualad with Blue and Green Beetle at his sides. Blue Beetle fired two staples to trap the scientist against the window. They flew up and Green Beetle did the same to the Reach soldiers "You are alone" Kaldur walked forward with one of his water bearers in the shape of a sword
"I am sufficient" Black Beetle ran forward at Kaldur and they began sending slashes at each other until Kaldur used his other water bearer to make and hammer and hit it against Black Beetle's leg to try and weaken him. It didn't do much since Black Beetle armed a sonic wave from his chest and fired it at Aqualad sending him into the wall behind him. "As for you brothers, I'll try to keep you on mode or at least salvage your scarabs but clearly all 4 of you are corrupt beyond redemption"
"It is you who are corrupt" Green Beetle's eyes began glowing red so when Black Beetle tried to strike him he used his Martian telekinesis to smash him to the ground then lift him up in front of him and attach his scarab to Black Beetles "But I will reset your scarab and set you free" his energy began flowing into Black Beetle's scarab
'Freedom is overrated' Black Beetle turned the odds against Green and began flowing his own energy back to Green's overpowering him until his scarab fell apart and re was reduced to a mere Martian "I hate Martians, destroying your scarab would kill most meat but you survived" he formed a cannon in his hand "If briefly" he aimed the cannon at Za'arr
"No!" Blue Beetle blocked the attack with his own body and was pushed back from the blast
"You!" Black Beetle growled "You are the cause of this debacle it is long past time your scarab was destroyed" he began taking the cords out for it to attach to Blue's scarab "And your life ended" the cords reached over to Blue and attached to his scarab making him yelp as the energy began flowing into him 'You can fight back meat, but you cannot survive against me'
'I will survive because I am not alone in this battle am I scarab' Blue Beetle smirked
No Jaime Reyes once we fought for control but now we are united
'Friends, hermanos standing together against any attack'
Black Beetle was shocked when Blue Beetle's energy began flowing toward his Scarab "No" Blue Beetle's own cords attach themselves to Black Beetle and began flowing more of his energy to his scarab until it began overloading and he was reduced to a simply Reach member and collapsed
Aqualad walked to Blue Beetle
"What have you done" Blue Beetle eyes widened in shock
"It is over we have won"
"No. we lost when my scarab tapped into Blacks we learned he's already set a plan in motion to erase all evidence of The Reach's attempt to conquer us by destroying the earth
In Gotham City out of a pond in the park three machines lifted out of the water, two of them were armed to protect the machine in the middle as it began forming a small blue sphere above it and in the sky began getting dark with lighting similar to a thunderstorm
The same clouds formed over Paris along 5 large tornados
In Taipei the lightning from the clouds were already striking the surface while The Reach's machines were forming the blue sphere's
"Natural disasters have escalated" Batman reported, he had moved Selina to the Watchtower with him to keep her and their unborn children safe from there occurrences, Barry had done the same with Iris and they were both currently in the living quarters of the tower watching the news "The rest of the league is spread thin saving lives across the globe"
"It's Black Beetle's MFD's, they Magnetic Field Disrupters of The Reach seated in multiple places across the earth" Blue Beetle informed them "They're causing a deterioration of the planet's magnetic field which in turn is causing these not so natural disasters I can locate all the MFD's but each is defended by Beetle tech drones" he formed his own holographic image of earth with the information on it "that are programmed to run interference until the MFD can built up enough power to go chrysalis and end the world"
"So how do we shut them down?" Batman asked
"I don't know because Black Beetle didn't know there's no failsafe this was an endgame"
The Holographic computer pulled up a screen INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY GENERAL SANG DAN GOON but instead of sang appearing on the screen it was one of the members of The Light
"Luthor!" Batman growled "What are you—"
"Secretary Sang was kind enough to let me borrow this frequency as I have a possible solution to our mutual problem"
"A problem created by you and The Light who collaborated to bring The Reach to earth" The Atom retorted from Dick's shoulder
"Perhaps but as I believe you know The Light always planned to betray The Reach" He held up a flash drive "Lex Corp has developed anti-reach software a virus that should disrupt their Magnetic Field Disruptors. Now I believe time is of the essence"
The Batwing, The Bio-ship, The Supercycle, and Za'arr's own Bio-ship had all come to Lex Corp to help the heroes travel around the world to disrupt the MFD's. all the heroes were listening to Batman's instructions from the podium
"Every single magnetic field disruptor must be disabled before they chrysalis to guarantee earth's safety each MFD is protected by multiple beetle tech drones and each drone is equivalent to a beetle warrior Blue Beetle has located 20 MFD's around the world, there's 51 of us assembled here (The extra Bat family members and The Justice League members from Rimbor) so you'll be in squads of two and the extra's will provide back up to those in need"
Blue Beetle was forming eggs from his cannon "Just a few more should do it"
"You will all be issued multiple Reach tech eggs containing my anti-reach virus software while one hero runs interference with the drones the other only had to physically touch his or her egg against an MFD to disable it" Lex took the one that was finished from his cannon and inserted his Flash drive into it letting it light up before taking it out
Wonder girl whispered to Red Hood "You really think we can trust Luthor?"
"It's his world too pretty sure he doesn't want it reduced to space dust besides we don't have much choice"
"Alright we have your assignments" Superman took over "We'll distribute these eggs and go"
"Ladies and Gentleman the fate of the world is in your hands" Lex announced
Selina was able to put some help into saving the earth by coordinating the missions from the Watchtower through the holographic screens "Alpha squad engaging drones"
"Acknowledged all squads report in"
"Sigma has engaged"
Aqualad, Lagoon boy, and Aquaman were taking cover behind some rocks to avoid being shot by The Reach's drones and all of them were speaking in atlantien together
"You plant to egg" Kaldur took out his water bearers "We will provide cover" gesturing to himself and Aquaman
"So now you trust me?"
"La'gann I have always trusted you. Did I not trust you with my place on the team?"
La'gann smiled taking the egg out of his pocket looking to his fellow atlantiens as they nodded. Kaldur formed a large wave with his water bearers and sent it over the rocks and landing on top of the MFD and the drones. Out of the smoke Aquaman came up behind one drone and smashed it while Kaldur slashed the other and La'gann headed to the MFD and attached the egg to it making the sphere fade
"Neptune's beard we did it!"
Nightwing and Zatanna had gone together to Paris to stop an MFD that was located under the Eifel tower Zatanna was flying around the avoid being hit by the drones lasers while Nightwing sent batarangs at the Drones but he missed one. The drone shot a car that was behind him and he quickly flipped back to his feet
"Seems ironic that we were sent to The Eifel Tower the most romantic city in the world huh?" Zatanna asked while sending a blast of magic at one of the drones "We are defiantly coming back here one day well when we don't have a world to save"
"There's always gonna be a world to save. But I promise we'll definitely come back here" He smirked before sending four batarrangs above the drones and each attaching a small disk to them electrocuting the drones and reducing them to useless
Zatanna flew to the bottom of The Eifel Tower and attached the egg to the MFD
Nightwing smiled "Omega squad has taken out the MFD"
"Good work"
Black Lightning and Vigil were going after an MFD located in the sewers of Dakota City. Vigil flew around on his sewer cover to avoid the lasers from the drones then took cover behind some pillars as Black Lightning came out and shot lighting at the drones
"I gotta say playing hero starting to feel pretty sweet" Vigil smiled taking out the egg from his pocket and flying to the MFD
"I'm not surprised you show real potential for this gig" Black Lightings attacks destroyed the drones letting vigil pass by them and attach the egg onto the MFD letting it fall into the water "You ever need a mentor vigil you just let me know"
Vigil smiled
"Asami has deployed the egg and disabled the MFD"
"Good work Beta" Selina commented "20 squads deployed 20 MFD's destroyed the mission was a success we have done it!"
"We missed one" The Atom pulled up his own holographic screen "The earth's magnetic field is still being disrupted"
"Blue Beetle to Watchtower I'm reading a 21st MFD in the arctic hidden from my previous scans by north magnetic pole sending coordinates"
"There are no Zeta-tubes in the arctic how are we going to—"
"Don't worry gang I've got this" The Flash responded
"Not without me you don't" Impulse ran after his grandfather joining him at the north pole "Squads of 2 remember it's a good way to crash that MFD's mode fall in gramps" they ran into a ice cave where the MFD was located but their eyes widened
"Flash to Watchtower Magnetic Field Disruptor it's already gone chrysalis" the drones and the machine making the MFD dropped to the ground from the large blue sphere "I'm not sure if the egg—"
"The Egg is useless now you are too late" Lex Luthor contacted them
Strom clouds began forming over the North Pole and all over the earth green light was shinning on the surface. The two speedsters had to run out of the cave when the sphere became too large and it starter breaking through they looked back to see the sphere turn into a large tornado "What now?" Flash pressed his com
"Now you run"
"Hey I'm no quitter there's gotta be-"
"I didn't say run away I said run together you and Impulse should be able to negate the chrysalis by running counter to its energy flow"
In the Watchtower the heroes were listening in on their conversation "I wouldn't call it simple" The Atom spoke "You'll be attempting to siphon it's power with your own speed trails it'll take a massive amount of kinetic energy"
"Do you think it'll be enough?" Artemis asked wally but she heard the Zeta-tubes light up
RECONGIZED: KID FLASH B-03
"And no matter what don't slow down until the chrysalis is completely neutralized"
Flash and Impulse looked to each other before running up to the blue tornado and began running in a circular motion around it, parts of the chrysalis began shooting off and going in random directions "I think it just might be working" Bart said
"It's defiantly slowing but not stopping even at our top speed I'm not certain the two of us can generate enough kinetic energy "
"Then how about the three of us" Wally ran up and began running at the same pace they were "Thanks to that training I am able to run at the same speed you can remember? Can't let the new kid take all the credit for saving the world"
"Good man!"
"So crash!"
The three of them began running at the same pace in the circular motion around the chrysalis
The Bio-ship flew up to the Arctic and out of the hatch came out the original members of the team, Aqualad, Nightwing, Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis, Zatanna, and Rocket along with Blue Beetle "Look it's working their shutting it down"
Earth's magnetic field is stabilizing "Yes!" Blue Beetle cheered But there is a problem Jaime Rayes the Kid Flash is in danger
Kid Flash was running along side his uncle and his cousin when he noticed one of the beams from the chrysalis coming at him so he quickly moved out of the way to dodge it letting it hit the ground instead and began running again "Whoa that was close, don't even wanna know what that would have done"
The danger is gone The Kid Flash is safe "Awesome!"
The three speedsters ran around the chrysalis for a couple more minutes until the tornado finally came down "They did it!" Miss Martian cheered , the smoke from the bottom was clearing letting them see the three speedsters trying to catch their breath
"It's over!" Miss Martian hugged Impulse
"Congratulations" Aqualad helped Flash up
"Great Job Wally" Artemis ran up and hugged her boyfriend
"Nothing the Wall-man can't accomplish right?"
"This is Cat Grant reporting live from the UN where the entire planet earth is celebrating a special Independence Day free of Reach invaders thanks to the brave heroes of the Justice League" Cat Grant looked up to see the Reach ship was being led away by some League members
Captain Marvel, Superman and Green Lanterns
Inside the Reach ship the scientist was aggravated "I told you I should have been allowed to complete my research into the scarab problem" she turned to the men but the Ambassador and former Black Beetle growled at her silencing her
The Green Lanterns escort The Reach to stand trial before The Guardians of the universe thus completing your triumph over those who sought to use you against your own world it is over Jaime Rayes Blue Beetle smiled
At the Watchtower the league was watching Godfey on their holographic screen "Sounds like someone's finally listening to old the lone voice of reason calling for the ouster for you and old secretary general Sang after his disastrous collaboration with The Reach well guess what folks Sang finally resigned. Your Welcome. Now his successor had not been chosen but I think we all know only one man qualifies, the man responsible for saving all our lives from The Reach's MFD's ladies and gentleman I give you Lex Luthor!"
"You have got to be kidding me" Superman frowned before turning the screen off
In the viewing dock of The Watchtower which had also been turned into The Grotto with Aquagirl and Ted Kord's holograms in it were Red Hood and Wonder girl talking too Vigil
"Welcome to the team Vigil" Cassie congratulated him
"Call me…static"
"Catchy" Jason mused "So what about your pals? I take it they declined our invitation"
"Well Arsenal was always more of a solo act and the others are getting out of the game"
Superboy was watching their conversation from afar and noticed how close his Ex-girlfriend was with Jason "Since when are Jason and Cassie a couple?" he turned to M'gann
"Since the MFD situation, it was kind of a life is short thing it gave them the courage to finally think about the future"
"Well that kind of courage…"
"Can be hard to come by" she smiled
"Man I am so beat" Wally stretched his arms
"Don't worry we'll have a large dinner when we get back home" Artemis assured him
"Babe you rock!"
"Yeah well I can't wait to get home either, after being away from so long" Dick smiled over to Zatanna "Did you at least keeps the place clean"
"Of course it's a synch with my spells"
"Must be because I half expected to go back and find it looking like a tornado went through there" he smirked at her offended look "I'm just kidding"
"You better be"
"So what do you say about you and me getting a place together huh?" Raquel asked Kaldur
"I don't see the problem with it. I'd love to"
"Great"
"Look at us guys" Wally pulled Dick and Kaldur into a hug with his arms around their necks "Look at how far we've come after all this time. It seems like just yesterday we were going to Cadmus and freeing Superboy right?"
"We have come through some major changes and we have grown stronger by overcoming them" Kaldur nodded
"Yeah I'm no longer that dark brooding teenager anymore either" Dick smirked
"I don't know I kinda liked the bad boy act" Zatanna smiled
"Really?"
"Yup"
The Justice League was standing across from The Team letting Batman speak "Having stopped The Reach Invasion and broken the light in half the team will now operate out of the Watchtower side by side with the league not because Mount Justice was destroyed" he smiled "But because you earned it"
"And so we'll leave you to it" Black Canary added before all the League members left leaving the team to go about their business as usual
