Teen Titans All Stars, Vol. 2
Chapter 12
Rise of the OMACs
Jason and Grant raced down the corridor towards the arena with Red Hood leading the chase. He'd never seen him move so fast and couldn't figure out why he'd even want to help the heroes. Hell he was still trying to figure out how Jason talked him into it in the first place. Whatever the reason, he was intent to put a stop to it. He figured he'd blow the whistle on Iscariot if what he said is true. Right now he was just trying to keep up with the assassin. He could just teleport ahead of him and wait for the Titans, but Jason was headed towards the weapons vault.
"Your really serious about this aren't you?" he called out.
Jason didn't answer him as he kept running up the hallway. Grant groaned and teleported directed infront of Jason with arms folded. Red Hood skidded on his heels stopping just short of him.
"What is this really about?" he demanded.
"Level with me. Ever since you joined us you've been acting weird. Not finishing off Grayson back in the cemetery and now trying to save Infinity Inc what the hell's your angle?" asked Grant.
"I don't have to answer to you." he told him.
"Then we're going to stand here for quite a while. Something's off about you Todd, I don't care whether or not you're loyal to us. Just answer my question." He huffed.
His eyes narrowed as he looked at the wall without answering him.
"Your still loyal to that Ra's Al Ghul aren't you?" he said.
"I have my orders." Jason said looking back at him. Grant drew back his fist and punched him as hard as he could. A metallic ring echoed as his fist connected with Hood's helmet.
"You son of a bitch you've been looking out for him all along!" he yelled.
"What kind of investment does he have in him?!" Red-X spat.
"That's none of your business." Jason answered. Grant grabbed him by the jacket.
"The hell its not!" he yelled and slammed Jason against the wall and drew back his fist as an X-shaped blade appeared on the back of his glove aimed at his gut.
"Tell me!" he screamed.
The Hood looked back at him without saying a word. X grit his teeth as he prepared to sink the blade tips into his stomach. Jason grabbed his wrist and drove his knee into Grant's stomach and decked him across the face knocking him out.
"Sorry Grant but that's classified." He said tightening his glove.
"Guess I can't really count on you anymore can I?" he quipped to Grant.
On the arena floor Infinity Inc was corralled towards the entrance by the guards. The Infinitors looked at each other as they stood at the edge of the doorway. Amongst their number stood about a half dozen teenagers with Star Spangled Kid standing at the forefront. As Roulette called them out the teenagers stepped out into the stadium light for the first time. Most of the members were in their mid to late teens. One of the females a blonde wrapped her arms around her teammate an Asian boy dressed in civilian clothing.
"Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Infinitors! Fury, Silver Scarab, Brainwave, Nuklon, Double Trouble, Trajectory, Rougewing and the Star Spangled Kid." She announced.
The crowd cheered as they stood in the arena. Fury was a young girl with wavy blonde hair wearing a red and gold armored bustier with scarlet leggings and crimson bracelets similar to Wonder Woman's with a red armored headdress. Silver Scarab was an Asian boy dressed in a silver jacket with a black shirt and blue jeans and had blonde streaks throughout his hair with blue eyes wielding a katana. Brainwave stood considerably taller than Scarab wearing bright red spandex with blue leggings, gloves and red boots. On his chest was a blue oval with a stylized wave similar to an EKG and had a red ski mask attached to his costume with spiked brownish blonde hair. Nuklon was the tallest and strongest member of the group wearing a red and black costume with a gold hazard symbol on his chest and a blue ski mask that covered his features. Beside him stood a smaller African American boy wearing a red and black costume similar to Nuklon's with a gold star across his left shoulder with a red number 1 and was maskless. Trajectory was a female speedster in a burgundy and gold outfit with a lightning bolt that raced across her chest with one dark pigtail, while Rougewing was a Thanagarian teenage girl. Rather than a Hawk costume Rougewing wore civilian clothes; a red midriff shirt, with black leather jacket and green pants.
The Titans marched up the corridor single file with Nightwing and Starfire leading the group. Roulette smiled as she looked across the crowd, seeing a door open from the corner of her eye she turned around to introduce their opponents.
"And their opponents the Teen Ti…" Roulette looked at them stunned. Her jaw hit the floor seeing them wearing the strange armor.
"What the hell?" she muttered not realizing she had spoken it into the microphone. Members of the crowd were equally stunned and whispered to their neighbor to figure out what was going on.
"Why are they wearing that armor?" a woman asked her companion.
"I don't know." He answered.
"What does that mark mean?" another woman behind them asked.
Roulette regained her composure and pushed her sunglasses up close to her eyes while still peering over them.
"Well this is new." She said to herself.
"Uh, Ladies and Gentlemen I give you they're opponents the Teen Titans!" she said trying to rev up the crowd.
The Titans stood in silence as they stared back at the Infinitors leaving Star Spangled Kid notably stunned.
"Chris we're going up against them?" Fury asked.
"Chris!" Brainwave yelled.
"What's the matter Cap? Aren't you happy to see us?" Ravager asked in a dark sarcastic tone unnerving him even further.
"Chris focus man!" Brainwave yelled grabbing his shoulder. His eyes widened as he looked back at his teammate.
"Yeah sorry guys." he replied.
"What's gotten into you?" he asked.
"Nothing. It doesn't matter anymore." He said looking back at the OMAC Titans.
"Infinitors ready!" he yelled holding out his Cosmic Rod.
Roulette nodded seeing them get into battle stance.
"All right then ready, set…go!" she yelled throwing down her arm.
But the Titans remained still to the confusion of the Infinity Inc members that quickly turned to frustration for some of them.
"What are you doing?!" yelled Rougewing.
"Don't attack yet we don't know what they're…"
Rougewing yelled and attacked before Chris could finish his sentence. Starfire narrowed her eyes and flew up firing a corrupted red starbolt at her and nearly destroyed her right wing. Kendra screamed as the energy beam ripped through her wing and crashed against the far side of the arena wall. The other Infinitors switched to defensive mode as they stared down the Titans. Including Star Spangled Kid as he narrowed his eyes and held out his lance. In the balcony high above the battlefield Iscariot stood with arms folded and a smirk on his face. The door opened a second later as Waller stormed in.
"What is the meaning of this?" she demanded.
The portly director marched across the room as Iscariot turned towards her with the same smug grin as before.
"Thought I'd raise the stakes a little. It was starting to get a little boring with them taking on villains individually." He stated. She made her way over to the window and saw them in their armor.
"What did you do to them?" she demanded.
"Just thought I'd augment their abilities a bit." He replied. She glanced down at several of the Titans and saw a familiar marking on their chests.
"What? I thought you'd be happy? Think of them as the world's foremost metahuman extermination squad. I'm merely picking up where you left off." He said with hands folded behind his back.
"After all you were the one that wanted this. And that's not even the best part." He told her as several guards grabbed Waller from behind and struggled with them.
"What are you doing?" she yelled.
"Call it a changing of the guard. Its time we become more serious in our endeavors, as of right now I'm calling the shots and I think its time we put you out to pasture." He said producing a gun and aimed it at her face. A single shot rang out. The guards looked up as Iscariot fell to the ground a second later and saw Jason Todd standing in the doorway.
Guards fumbled for their guns as Waller decked a man with her elbow. Red Hood took out an R shaped shuriken and threw it at one of the guards and barreled in a second later with a flying kick. Amanda ducked as he nailed the guy behind her and slammed his elbow into the back of the last guy's neck.
"Thank you." she said.
"Come on we have to get out of here." He said before racing out. Waller followed behind him as fast as she could.
Back on the battlefield the Titans continued to pummel Infinity Inc as Star Spangled Kid went up against Nightwing. Star Spangled Kid yelled as he batted at him with his Cosmic Rod. The OMAC controlled hero blocked the attacks with his forearm and projected a blade above his fist and jabbed at him. Chris jumped back avoiding the blade, while blocking it with his lance. Dick lunged forward tearing the front of Chris' costume with his blade and punched out the Infinitors with his opposing fist. The blade retracted as his arm transformed into a cannon and pointed it directly at him. Chris pointed back his rod and fired a blast of cosmic energy at Dick blowing him back.
In the sky above Fury clashed with Starfire, the two girl exchanged punches in midair with Starfire having the upper hand against her opponent. Fury blocked the pounding of Kori's fists with her forearms as Starfire's eyes glowed red and barreled down on the Infinitor who jumped out of the way at the last second. The beams struck the ground next to Nightwing, Beast Boy and Silver Scarab. Fury drew a staff with massive weights from behind her back and twirled the weapon. Starfire brought her hands together in a sledgehammer and brought them down on the weapon with a deafening thud sending a shockwave through Fury's body. Kori drew back her fist and plowed Fury to the ground. Beast Boy crouched down on all fours ready to pounce on Silver Scarab. The Asian teen took a scarab from his inner coat pocket holding the scarab above his sword. Beast Boy leapt towards him he raced towards him.
"Henshin!" he yelled placing the scarab on the hilt.
A blinding flash of light consumed him forcing Beast Boy to cover his eyes; Scarab elbowed him in the chest knocking him to the ground. Beast Boy turned around to see him clad in stylized silver samurai armor. Beast Boy growled as his chest panel opened up and fired a blast of energy knocking Scarab into a wall with a cloud of dust.
Near the stadium floor entrance members of the Judgment League watched the battle between the OMAC empowered Titans and the Infinitors. Some of which couldn't believe what they were seeing. Others like Kid Zoom were enjoying the battle far too much to actually care.
"I don't know what he's complaining about this is great!" Kid Zoom said stealing some popcorn from a patron.
"Mind if we crash?" a female said from behind.
Kid Zoom turned around and was struck down by Inertia with a powerful punch to the face. The violet and gold speedster hit the ground unconscious as the other Judgment Leaguers looked up and saw Terra and her other Titans in their midst. Hawk punched out Renegade knocking him flat and skidded on his back with legs in the air. Hawk grinned and cracked his knuckles while others fled.
"Must you always do that?" Dove said annoyed.
"It gets the job done. Not like your methods." Hawk replied his brother moaned.
"There's no time for that. We've got more pressing matters to deal with." said Terra.
"You're the boss." Hawk told her.
"Inertia." She said.
"On it." he told her.
The green speedster charged up and fired blasts of lightning from his fingertips that raced across the battlefield gaining everyone's attention. Spectators stood up in shock as the emerald lightning arced throughout the dome with Roulette praying she didn't get zapped.
"Think that got their attention?" quipped Dove.
"Team Titans Go!" yelled Terra.
The OMAC Titans turned and opened fire on the party crashers. The team scattered evading the blasts. Terra threw her arm out infront of herself as she ran tearing out slab of rock and flew Nightwing and Starfire. As they shot at her, Terra's glove glowed brighter summoning an energy shield and blocked the attacks.
"Nightwing, Starfire it's me Terra!" she said.
Her teammates continued firing never answering her. Terra propelled herself off the rock as it crashed infront of them and flipped high in the air. On the far side of the arena Impulse and Flash double-teamed the female speedster Trajectory as Inertia raced towards them and took out both of them simultaneously and stood infront of Trajectory.
"I gotta say this is kind of bittersweet." He said.
"Thanks whoever you are." She said. Inertia smirked and looked at her from the corner of his eye as Flash and Impulse stood up.
"How you feel about a lil double team?" he asked her and she smiled and nodded.
Flash and Impulse drew back their opposing fists and generated them at cyclone wind tunnel. Inertia and Trajectory split up as the wind tunnel pummeled the wall behind them. The green and burgundy speedsters double back behind Flash and Impulse. The OMACs looked back and saw them come towards them with fists drawn back. Flash clotheslined Inertia while Impulse dodged Trajectory, grabbed and spun her around before throwing her into a wall. Flash picked up Inertia above his head and slammed him against his knee. The Titan choked and gasped for air as he rolled to the ground. Flash stood over him activating his cannon and aimed it at the boy's head. Supergirl flew in and punched him in the face causing his cannon to misfire in the air and struck the ceiling of the force field. Another hit sent him crashing into the wall. When the smoke cleared she looked up at the ceiling.
"We got to find a way to shut down their programming." She said as Impulse punched her in the back.
Across the field Nightwing decked Terra as hard as he could sending the Geomancer tumbling backwards.
"This isn't working." She said.
"Charging headfirst into a situation rarely does." Dove commented while holding off Starfire.
The Tamaraian decked him across the face and knocked him next to Terra. Supergirl flew at Impulse and sent him flying back into Raven.
"We need to shut down whatever's controlling them." she said.
"Dove see if you can hack the main computer that's controlling the other Titans." Terra instructed.
"Now that's more like It." he said getting up.
"You might need backup." She told him.
"I appreciate it but you guys need all the help you can get down here. I'll be fine." he told her.
"Supergirl clear a path." She said.
"Can do." she told her and flew up towards the shield.
"One exit coming up." she said as her eyes glowed red.
Kara fired a blast at the force field generator suspended from the middle of the arena ceiling and exploded allowing Dove to fly out of there. Once he was gone, Kara grabbed the burning generator and spun around hurtling it towards the arena floor and erupted forcing patrons to evacuate. Dove flew towards the balcony and smashed through the glass before somersaulting across the floor only to discover he had crashed into a VIP section.
"Sorry guess I picked the wrong one." He said rubbing the side of his head in embarrassment. And made his way towards the door and left without saying anything further. Dove ran down the hallway as several guards approached him.
"Well I was hoping it wouldn't come to this." he said.
The white and blue Titan barreled towards them as they opened fire. Dove threw himself in the air and landed in the midst of them slamming the flat of his palm into the ribs of two men on opposite sides of him. The guy infront of him turned around, Dove grabbed his rifle and wrestled it out of his grip with one move and smashed the heel of his palm into the man's face and used the gun as a baton on the remaining guard forcing the man to use his own as such. Dove forced him into a wall with his weight and took the gun out of his hand before hurling him over his shoulder and onto his chest. The guard landed with a thud with his legs in the air. Dove discarded his weapon and continued on.
In the Ops Center of the Cadmus Arena, Iscariot lay on his side in a pool of blood. His back saturated clear through as the life slowly drained away from his body. His eyes were open as he struggled to remain conscious, to remain alive.
"No…I will not…I will not let it end like this." he said as his heartbeat resounded.
"They cannot beat me…not like this…not after all the work I put into It." he thought.
"Do you wish to live Brandon Iscariot?" Saida deep malevolent voice.
"What? Who said that?" he wondered weakly.
"I can give you life Iscariot. I can improve your body and give you the power needed to crush your opponents." The voice told him.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I am Brother Eye, the soul of the OMAC processing system. From which you gleaned the surviving technology from my father…HARDAC." It said.
"Yesss. My work is not yet done…feed me your power so that I may live and have my vengeance on everyone!" he yelled.
The computers crackled as jolts of electricity raced across the controls. The floor panels bust off as cables race towards Iscariot and ensnare his body. The cables implanted themselves in his arms and legs while another one implanted itself in the back of his neck and lines of green circuitry fed across his body, his eyes glowing red. Meanwhile Dove continued towards the command center and soon met with a certain bug.
"Whoa!" Jaime yelled as his arm shifted into a cannon and aimed it at him.
"Hold on their buddy." Dove said holding up his hands.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Dove, I mean you no harm." He told him.
"So, your one of the good guys?" he asked. Dove nodded.
"We're here to save the others." He replied.
"Oh cool! So you're here to shut down the system." He said lowering his arm, which changed back.
"Come on there's not much time." Don said.
In the Ops Center armor plating began to cover Iscariot's body slowly reviving him and the blood that was spilt was flowing back into his body through the wound in his back. Iscariot's eyes flew open with an illuminating greenish glow with thin lines of circuitry branching out into the whites of his eyes. And rose to his feet as cables attached to his back hovering inches off the ground. Dove and Blue Beetle ran towards the ops center as the armor plating sealed over his back and began to cover his chest with the OMAC symbol appearing dead center. The door opened behind him as a pair of angular plates appeared over his shoulder sporting the logo on each one.
"Something tells me we came at a bad time." Dove said, as Jaime looked on stunned.
A large helmet covered the top and sides of his head as he turned towards them. A single hornlike projection appeared over his crown, and large metallic teeth and jaws wrapped around his face.
"Dude he looks like an Eva!" Jaime pointed.
"A what?" Don said.
"Evangelion! Don't you watch animes?" he said.
"A bunch of guys smacking each other around? Not really my thing." Don replied.
"You wear spandex! How can you say that?!" Jaime yelled.
"It's…complicated." He said.
The OMAC roared at them and transformed his fingers into scarlet blades.
"This could be a problem." Said Don.
"You know another thing about Evas?" Beetle asked.
"What's that?" asked Dove.
"I forgot how ugly they are." He said.
OMAC Iscariot launched itself at the team. Jaime activated his cannons and opened fire blowing it back through the wall.
"I don't suppose hacking the system is still an option is it?" Beetle asked.
"I hope so." Dove said racing over and accessed the system.
"What?!" he yelled.
"What?" asked Jaime.
"The system's…not in the system!" he said.
"What does that mean?" Jaime asked as the OMAC reentered the room.
"Nevermind I think I know the answer." He said looking back at it.
"It must have downloaded itself into Iscariot." Dove said.
"Yeah I just figured that." he said in annoyance.
"We really got our work cut out for us." Said Dove.
"You can say that again." replied Blue.
The OMAC growled as he lunged at them again. Jaime leapt over his shoulders while Don ducked past his left side as it pierced the computer with his blades. Blue Beetle's right arm changed into a gatling gun and fired lasers at him, but had no affect on him as he turned to face them once more. Iscariot launched his hand via cable and caught Blue Beetle as he struggled.
"Jump in anytime!" he yelled before Iscariot drew him in.
Dove rubbed his arm as he watched. As he flew towards Iscariot, Jaime fired the rockets on his soles and roasted him at close range. The flames doused Iscariot's body in an instant. The Beetle smirked until he saw him emerge from the blaze unscathed and propelled Jaime towards the back of the room and smashing into the wall Beetle's arm transformed into a circular saw and grinded the appendage.
"Dove any day now!" he yelled.
"My powers don't really work that way." He said.
"What? What kind of hero are you-ooo-ooo!" he yelled as Iscariot threw him into the ceiling before slamming him to the ground again.
Asserting himself Dove jump into the line of battle and grabbed Iscariot's cable appendage.
"I know I'm going to hate myself, but in this case I'll make an exception." He said.
Iscariot hissed as a blaster appeared under his right shoulderpad and took aim at his head with a laser pointer.
"My power only works when I'm directly threatened and you're about to see why. By the power of the Lord of Order!" his voice echoed as his muscles grew.
Iscariot looked at him in shock as Dove grabbed the cable and threw him over his shoulder into the wall simultaneously snapping said cable with his grip. He freed Blue Beetle from the appendage as his body gave off a sky blue aura. Iscariot righted himself as Dove took a defensive stance with his body still glowing. The cable arm quickly reattached itself as his mouth opened and fired a beam. Dove pushed Beetle away and somersaulted over the wave in a barrel roll and landed infront of Iscariot. The monster coiled his bladed fingers around Dove and was punched in the stomach knocking the cyborg back. Iscariot sprang back up and fired a second beam blast from his mouth. Dove crossed his arms and was blown backward but kept his guard up as it drove him through the window. Dove backflipped towards the stadium ground as everyone including his brother Hawk looked up.
"He actually did it." Hawk muttered.
Blue Beetle retreated through the broken window on his jetpack and made it to the stadium floor as Iscariot tore apart the balcony and perched himself on the balls of his feet ready to pounce on the group.
"What is that?!" Osirus yelled.
"Iscariot he's somehow managed to fuse himself with the OMAC system." Said Don.
"Dude your glowing!" Hawk said. Dove let out a soft almost inaudible chuckle as he glanced back at his brother.
"What can I say?" he smiled and shrugged.
"Figures the one time he finally decides to man up and I miss it. Knew you had it in you bro! Now was that really so hard to kick someone's butt for a change?" said Hawk.
"Guys focus!" Terra yelled.
The monstrous OMAC roared again as it's one white eye glowed as the OMAC Titans suddenly broke off their attacks and regrouped with one spectacular leap infront of the prime OMAC while the Titans and Infinitors did likewise and regrouped in the middle of the arena. The OMAC roared even louder as the deadening cry destroyed the arena seating directly behind him in waves while the structure of the arena itself started to cringe. The sound wave rippled through the catwalk reducing it to a tangled mess that folded backwards and smashed against the wall on the second level. The OMACs turned to the heroes and pointed their cannons at the two teams and opened fire.
"Now!" Jaime yelled as the Scarab shot out of his back and projected a blue force field infront of them creating a massive explosion.
The OMACs lowered their cannons as the smoke cleared and the force field held. The Scarab then returned to Jaime and his chest plates converted into a large cannon with handgrips on either side as beams of light raced into the cannon. The OMAC Titans looked back at him perplexed.
"EM Disruptor." Jaime said softly and pressed the triggers launching a massive bluish-white energy wave at them.
Iscariot leaped out of the way as the wave plowed into the Titans tearing away chunks of armor in the process. The Titans fell to their knees as the armor short-circuited and shattered afterwards. Currents of electricity continued to surge freeing them of their internal programming. Iscariot clung from the rafters and growled at the teams.
"Oh no you don't!" Jaime yelled and pointed the cannon at him.
Iscariot leaps as Jaime fired a second blast. The monster flipped evading the blast and sliced off the cannon with his claws. Blue Beetle yelled as his armor struggled to reformat. Iscariot lands and launches dozens of cables from his chest ensnaring Jaime and goes to absorb him. Blue Beetle struggles as he pulled into his chest cavity. Beams of bright blue light burst forth in a circle breaking the cables and he escapes. Jaime turns on his side and uses his Gatling blaster on the monster shooting him point blank in the chest but has no effect on him the monster bats him aside like a ragdoll.
The Titans that were under the control of Brother Eye came to and soon realized what was going on as they saw the monster infront of them.
"What is that?" Nightwing asked.
"Don't know. But whatever he is, he's going down." Cyborg said.
"Question is how?" asked Dick.
"Leave that to me." Raven said as she flew towards the monster's face.
"Azarath Metrion Zenthos!" she said switching to asterial form.
The OMAC menace growled and lashed out at the spectral being and dove into the OMAC's mind. Raven's spirit swam through the circuitry and soon phased into Brandon's subconscious mind. There she found the soul of Brandon Iscariot with Brother Eye feeding off of him as a technological parasite.
"Brandon can you hear me?" she asked trying to make contact with him.
His eyes opened glowing white.
"How did you get in here?" he inquired.
"Its part of my power. Let me help you." she said holding out her hand.
"Help? My dear lady I don't require help." He said as scores of cables snaked out of the shadows towards her.
"It doesn't have to be this way. Why are you doing this?" she asked.
"Because its what I was put on this Earth for." He replied.
"I don't believe that. You don't truly want to destroy us or anyone else for that matter. It's what that thing wants, not you." She reasoned.
"And what makes you think you know me so well?" he inquired again as he laced his fingers together.
"I don't but I want this to end in peace. Don't make us destroy you Brandon." She said.
"Is that a threat?" he narrowed his eyes at the young woman.
"I'm saying there's other ways we can end this Brandon. Fight it. Brother Eye has corrupted you." she said.
"I am corrupt, I have always been corrupt this is the path I choose in life. Brother Eye has just made it easier for me to access. You cannot save those who don't wish to be saved." He told her in a matter of fact tone.
"But I can try." She said as she raised her arms.
"Azarath Metrion Zenthos. Karadon Volerepos Azmarith. Cancerous Veramipudin Azmarith. Azmarith. Azmarith!" She said as waves of black energy circled around her attempting to free him of Brother Eye. But Brandon just laughed at the young woman.
Outside OMAC Supreme was seemingly lifeless as the monstrous android just stood there looking off into space giving Flash an idea.
"While she's doing that…" he said and dashed through the corridor until he found what he was looking for and raced back to the android.
With an electric socket wrench he started dismantling the OMAC's legs at supersonic speed. Pieces of armor came falling off as he worked his way through exposing wiring and other parts.
"What's going on out there?" Brandon said.
The OMAC started to cave under his weight, his legs buckled as Flash continued to work on other sections of the body such as the back and arms.
"No!" he yelled.
The OMAC groaned and pointed an arm cannon at Flash and blasted him. Cyborg retaliated and blew out his legs with his Sonic Cannon.
"Titans take him out!" yelled Nightwing.
The OMAC roared again as he fired his cannon a second time at the team. Nightwing yelled for his team to duck but were blown back by the blast. While Starfire hurled starbolts at it as fast and hard as she could. Superboy and Supergirl unleashed their heat vision on the OMAC attempting to break through his armor, while Star Spangled Kid fired energy blasts from his rod. While Impulse and Inertia raced to rid him of more armor plating. Inside Raven continued to battle with Iscariot and Brother Eye trying to forcibly separate him from his soul. But neither of them would have it and summoned several OMAC constructs that surrounded Raven.
"Don't make me do this!" she said getting into defensive stance.
Brandon pointed at her and the OMACs attacked. Raven converted to her bird form and fought back. Outside the battle continued as Blue Beetle sliced through his armor with wrist mounted blades. Supergirl flew at him and punched him in the head knocking him back. The OMAC regained his balance, and the underside of his forearms transformed into giant cannons with large metal cylinders connected at the back of the barrel.
"Pumper Cannons?!" Beetle said as the cylinders dropped and fired an explosive blast. Jaime took cover as several of his teamates were blown backward by the attack.
"This dude's ripping off Big O!" he yelled. As OMAC turned his attention on him.
"If that's the way you want to play it." he said transforming his arms in a simular manner and fired back at him.
But instead was blown backwards by the blast and smashed his head against some rubble. The explosive blasts hit but didnt do what they were suppose to. Inside the OMACs buried Raven under the mass of their forms. Brandon smirked, as victory on this end seemed eminent. Violet lightning surged through the OMACs as rays of light appeared through the gaps and destroyed the OMAC constructs with Raven back in her human asterial form with the same lightning surging through her. Eyes glowing white with a tinge of violet Iscariot looked back in shock as she raised her arms and fired a blast of white-violet energy at him. The blast tore through his shoulder where Brother Eye was attached to him. Outside a similar effect seemed to have happened as arcs of violet electricity surged through the OMAC's body. Inside Raven had her hand on both Iscariot and Brother Eye forcing them apart. Iscariot yelled as she attempted to sever the link between them. Eyes blazing, and body cast in shadow she opened her mouth and fired a blast between the two at the cords holding them together.
"Noooooo!" he yelled. Outside a large violet crack appeared down the middle of his torso. The Titans look on in shock as multiple cracks appear around his armor. Inside Raven concentrated all of her power on her final move.
"Azarath Metrion Zenthos!" she yelled tearing the two of them asunder. Her bird form appeared behind her as it screeched and waves of purple energy emanated from out of her body.
The cracks on the OMAC's armor glowed with brilliant rays of light and shattered his OMAC form. Iscariot dropped to the ground moments later as the armor came raining down in chunks and Raven hovered in the midst above him. As she came down a computer chip fell from Iscariot's neck and landed beside him bearing the Brother Eye symbol. Raven stepped on the chip crushing it underfoot as she landed. The other Titans and Infinitors surrounded Iscariot as he lay on the ground unconcious. Amanda Waller emerged out of the shadows and saw the heroes standing around him. Red Hood leaned against a wall in the hallway watching them from a distance with arms folded. The assassin turned disappeared into the shadows.
