Chapter 12
Star City Suburb, December 15, 11:46, No POV

Miss. Martian stopped the Bio-ship," Is this the spot?" she asked Gale (Mary).
Gale looked down out of the bio-ship's windshield," Yep," she pointed," There they are- in the shadows."

Sure enough, the team could see two boy-ish silhouettes.

Miss. Martian brought the ship down and landed it o a building's roof," Okay, Gale, Robin, Aqua-lad this is your stop."
The three that were named unbuckled themselves and headed for the door/hole Miss. Martian had created for them. Gale landed right next to the two boys- who jumped.

"Dang Weather," Jet-Stream muttered," It's so nice that you could drop in on us."

"It's Electric Gale now," Gale snapped," Gale for short."

Aqualad and Robin landed next to her," Are these the people you were talking about Gale," Aqualad asked her.

Gale crossed her arms," Yep, these two are the ones I was talking about."

Blaze raised an eyebrow," Oh you were talking about us?"

Gale sighed and checked her watch," Look I've got a friend who was captured by a bad dude. We need you two to come with us the Justice League's cover Opps team will let us go rescue her."

Jet-stream yawned," Yeah, so?"

Robin had to put his hand on Aqualad's shoulder so he didn't attack the wind controller," Listen," Robin said," If you help us, we'll all owe you one, some of the Justice League will be very grateful."

Blaze sighed," Alright, I'll help, but you don't need to owe me one."

Jet-fire stiffened," Same here, I don't want the Justice League owing me anything."

"I am glad you are willing to help us," Aqua-lad said.

"By the way," Gale said," Aqualad is team leader- so you'll have to listen to him."

Outside of Shadow mansion, Star City Suburb, 11:50 pm

Robin and KF crawled along the north gate, "Everyone hooked up," Megan asked them.
"Whoa" Jet-Stream said, "that is totally awesome!"
"It's defiantly different," Blaze agreed.

"Robin, Kid- are you in position," Aqualad asked.

"Yep," Rodin answered, "There seems to be two guards at every gate. Just warning we'll all have to take them out before we can he into the house," The house he was referring to was a huge mansion at the center of the large plot of land that was surrounded by about an acre of land on each side.

AquaLad nodded at Artemis, Gale and Jet-Stream, "Head towards the east wall," he turned, "Arrow Super-boy and Blaze- You can go to the west wall- Miss. Martian, Wolf and I will head towards the south wall. We breach the walls and blow holes into the wall five minutes after midnight when he is giving the announcement. Let's get into positions."

IN THE HOUSE, 11:59 pm
Maya POV

I groaned and looked around. My mouth dropped open. I was in some sort of glass orb and my collar was chained to the lid. I tried to bang on the glass- only to find out my hands had been zip-tied. Lioness, Dark and Cheshire were standing next to the clone of me -that we had used earlier. The clone was still chained to the chair and had the bag on her head. I growled," Hey!"

Shadow Master turned to me," Oh she woke up."
Lioness turned," Good. Now we don't have to!" I gulped- that did not sound good.

Suddenly the clock started to chime- One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, And Twelve.

Midnight

The camera turned on and Shadow Master smiled into it," Hello," then he launched into a speech that I didn't really listen too, until he started to wind down," I know many of you are questioning why the government should follow my orders but if you must know. This is why, Dark, if you please?" Dark pulled out his feather, and started to mutter a spell. I felt the stone in my collar heat up. I yelped and started pulling at it.

December 16, Outside the mansion, 12:05 am
No POV

Aqualad pulled out his water-bearers, "GO, GO, GO!"

All at once each group if young heroes jumped over the walls. They made a mad dash towards the walls. As if on cue; metal cylinders shot out of the ground and started shooting at the team. On the west wall, Blaze was shooting fireballs at two of the cylinders- destroying them. Super-Boy was up-rooting one, and Red Arrow was shooting arrows at the openings- making them explode. On the North wall, Robin was throwing batatrangs exploring the cylinders. KF was easily dodging them, and then he made it to the house wall where he easily hit a small button and turned their sides' cylinders off. Then he planted some C-4, "Planted," KF told everyone.
On the east wall, Artemis was doing the same thing Red Arrow was, Gale was zapping the electrically powered items with lightning turning them off (exploding them in some cases) and JetStream was creating tornados strong enough to uproot them.
Lastly, on the south wall, Aqua-lad was cutting the cylinders in half, while Wolf was just tearing them to shreds and Miss. Martian was blowing them up with her mind.
Aqua-lad made it to the wall and planted some of his own C-4, then ran back to safety, "Ours is planted as well."

On opposite walls, Red Arrow an Artemis notched arrows, with C-4 tips, "Ready when you are," Artemis said.

"Same here," Red Arrow said.

"On my count," Aqua-lad said pulling out a remote switch, "One, two- THREE," the arrows flew through the air and Aqua-lad pressed the button. All four walls exploded; when the smoke cleared everyone gasped, "Robin" Aqua-lad said, "Call the League!"

The androids that were staring back at the young heroes attacked.

BACK IN THE HOUSE, 12:12 am

Dark finished the spell and threw the feather at me, its stem (?) landed in the center of the jewel. At first nothing happened. But then, a spark of purple light shot out. I yelped, and then I was zapped with dark purple electricity. I screamed as I was shocked over and over- all over my body. It hurt, it hurt so bad. I could see in my reflection that my eyes were glowing again. But this time this power up was being fueled by my pain and fear. But this power was also being taken from me. The orb that was surrounding me was absorbing my power and sending it to a reactor that was sitting below me. I could feel the energy getting sucked out of me. That hurt even worse than the shocks that had caused my power boost.

Shadow Master looked angry, he shouted at Dark, Lioness and Cheshire. They ran out of the room, Sports Master muttered something to Shadow Master, who sent Sports Master after them. Even the two ninja bots went with them. Whatever was going on- I was glad it was- even if I was in pain.

Back Outside, 12:14 am

The team had managed to fight their way to the walls, when Lioness, Dark, Cheshire, and Sports Master all busted into the room from one staircase. Blaze melted an android after android. But he was totally surprised when Dark tackled him from above.

Cheshire got into a fight with Red Arrow, and Artemis, KF, and Jet-stream with Sports Master. Lioness prowled around the fights looking for a good spot to jump in. The ninja bots had Miss. Martian, Wolf, and Super-boy busy. From the looks of things the Justice League would be here in a matter of minutes. Lioness scanned the crowd for Aqua-lad... THERE! She roared and tackled an android that was sneaking up behind him; she slit its throat and then stood.

Aqua-Lad gave a grateful nod," Thank you L."

Lioness smiled, "Anytime, Aqualad, anytime."

*FLASHBACK*
December 14, THE CAVE, 12:03 pm
No POV

Kaldur and the others stood in the garage. When someone beamed in, the computer didn't announce them," That's weird," Robin muttered.

Imagine the whole teams surprise when Lioness walked into the Cave. The team snapped into action, getting into attack mode. Lioness held up a white handkerchief," Relax," she said in her accent," I come as a friend."

"How can we trust you," Artemis growled.

Lioness sighed and pulled off her mask," I'm Angie- Maya's cousin," she said in her normal voice.

Gale blinked," I saw a picture of you- Maya used it in her journal."

"That still doesn't explain why she's here," Red Arrow said.

Angie groaned," I want to help I've devised a plan to help you all get Maya back from Shadow Master."

Most of the team lowered their weapons," Can we really trust her," KF asked.

Angie rolled her eyes and pulled out blue-prints for a house," Here this is the house blue-prints I managed to copy."

"But," she stressed," They are pretty worthless- except for this part," she used the claws on her gloves to cut off everything except a staircase and the whole upper floor," Shadow Master did some remodeling. He took out all the walls except for the staircase and she removed all the walls on the upper floors. The upper floors' floor is reinforced metal on reinforced metal support beams to support this big reactor that he's going to use to try and take over the world. The ceiling is also reinforced with metal- so it would be pretty hard to break into from above."

"Why are you telling us this," Superboy asked.

"Because," Angie snapped," If you don't save Maya- Shadow Master will kill her!"

"What," Megan screeched.

"Yes," Angie conformed," You see... Maya does have the power to create things and to change her shape. But she also has this thing called blood-rage. If she's provoked enough by her emotions a type of energy-power is awakened deep inside of her, and she has unlimited power- it's like super adrenaline- but it comes at a cost. If she over uses this Super Adrenaline she risks dying. But not from Over Dosing- she'd die from lack of energy."
Everyone was silent and Angie continued," Shadow Master will push her to that limit. He doesn't care," Not anymore Angie added silently in her head.

The team glanced at each other. After a simultaneous nod, Kaldur stepped forward," Go on."

Angie smiled," Okay, so you're going to come from here, here, there and there..."

Cheshire turned to see Lioness pounding away at Androids, clearing a path towards the staircase- where the whole team was trying to get too- it all clicked for her," Lioness you traitor!"

Lioness turned to Cheshire," Sorry Cheshire! But you should get out of here." Miss. Martian and JetStream sent Dark towards the floor, where he landed unconscious, and they zip-tied him. The ninja bots had been crushed and melted long ago. Sports Master and Cheshire took the hint and ran out of the building.

Aqua-lad dove towards the stairwell, The rest of the team hard on his heels. Lioness bounded above him and crashed through the door. At first they were shocked at seeing Fang Paw in that orb suspended about twenty feet in the air. Maya's eyes giving off a dim glow and the gem in her collar giving of a stronger shine. A large computer station buzzed in front of the reactor that stood ten feet below Fang Paw, the reactor hummed with white energy. The Maya clone whimpered in fear.

"It's over Shadow Master," Aqua-Lad shouted," Give up."

Shadow Master turned to them," Is it young heroes?" Shadow Master held his thumb above a remote-control button," It's a shame, that you double-crossed me Lioness."
Lioness spat at him," Better you than blood," protecting her cousin's secret.

Shadow Master smirked when the group took a step forward," Un-uh. You see is any of you take one more step- I press this button and totally deplete your friend here of her energy," he chuckled," and you know what that means!"

Of course they did- she'd die.

Maya POV

"and you know what that means," Shadow Master gloated.
I wanted to snarl and snap his neck- but that's a bit hard when you're chained to a glass orb and slowly being drained of energy. (So much so that you can't even stand.) When suddenly a (stupid) idea came to my mind.

" Oh," I snarled into the open air from my mind," You just think you can threaten my life like that."

Everyone gasped, that fueled me. The fear started to fade away; it was slowly being replaced... with my anger and hope that this idea would work, I never got to release my betrayed feelings from earlier. So I could vent now, better late than never! "You want my energy?" I continued my rage, "Well, you can have it."

I felt new power fill me; I looked in my friend's shocked eyes. I started to stand on shaky legs," No way!" Lioness gasped.

Shadow Master laughed," She won't have any energy to make it all the way up. That and she's just helping my reactor will be so successful!"

Think again, I growled to myself.

My friends (and you know- the two who I had no clue who they were) shocked and hopeful gazes gave me strength. Slowly and surely I stood. Shadow Master started to worry," No! Impossible."

I gave a cry as I started to empty my energy into the reactor. Not even after thirty seconds- the computer monitor started flashing red. The sirens and a voice started saying," OVERLOAD, OVERLOAD! SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE MINUTES!"

Robin ran to the computer and plugged his wrist-computer into it. Robin typed furiously," I can't hack it! There too much energy in it! It's gonna blow!"

Shadow Master growled," I'll let you handle this," then disappeared.

Aqua-Lad looked up at me," Everybody out! I'll get Fang Paw and meet you outside!"

"No," Lioness cried," We'll never get away in time- that is pure energy! The blast radius is like miles!"

"This is not open for discussion," Aqua-Lad said," Everyone out!"

I tried to hold it in," I can't stop it!" I felt fear but it wouldn't stop my energy flow," You all need to run! I can't stop it!"

"THREE MINUTES."

"GO!" Aqua-Lad and I screamed at the same time.

The team (and my clone) left reluctantly and Aqua-Lad ran towards the reactor. He somehow climbed up onto the top of the reactor- which must have hurt, it had to be hot," Kaldur," I yelped," You should run! Please! I can't stop it!"

"ONE MINUTE, THIRTY SECONDS."

Kaldur shook his head," I will not leave you behind," he climbed up on the orb and broken into the top- cutting my chain free. Then he shattered the whole orb and caught me as we fell onto the rector- which was probably as hot as a laptop charger battery. He helped me stand on shaky feet.
"FOURTY-FIVE SECONDS."

I whimpered," I'm so sorry Kaldur. It's my entire fault, I couldn't control myself and now... Now," I felt tears sting at my eyes.

"Shhhh," Kaldur said," We'll be together."

"THIRTY... Twenty-nine... Twenty-Eight..."

I blushed," Kaldur, I, um, I think I ... I really like you."

"TWENTY... Nineteen...EIGHTEEN..."

Kaldur smiled," I have strong feeling for you as well Maya." I leaned up and kissed him.

Love it? Hate it? TEEEEELLLLLLLLL MMMMMMEEEEEE!
