Chapter 11 The Final Battle

"Beta team what's your status?" asked Mal Duncan from the base with Oracle.

"Were at Metropolis now." announced Robin.

"Good, keep Luthor as safe as you can and update ever so often." ordered Mal.

"Understood." said Robin.

When Robin got off with Mal he looked over to see Beast Boy and Blue Beetle about to just walk into Lex-Corp. He grabbed them by their shirts and dragged them back.

"What the hell do you to think you're doing?" he snapped.

"What?" asked Beast Boy confused.

"We can't just walk in there." he yelled.

"Why not." asked Wonder girl.

Damian was close to slamming his head against the ground and the mission barely even started.

"Do you really believe that Luthor would just let us heroes walk right into this company building and straight into his office?" he questioned.

"Yes" replied Beast Boy and Blue Beetle stupidly.

Robin held a perfect poker face but on the inside he was screaming.

"Lex Luthor hates all heroes, especially those involved with the Justice League. There's no way that he's going to willing go with us if we ask him or order him to." he explained to them.

"So why not just tell him what's going on?" asked Beast Boy.

"Oh yeah let's just walk in there and tell Luthor that 7 seven of the Justice League original members from another world are here to kill him all because they don't want him to become President. You might as while tell him that he's ballad while you're at It." snapped Robin.

"Okay, you don't have to be grumpy." said Wonder Girl. "But what are we going to do; we can't just leave him unprotected."

"No were not, that's why we're going to kidnap him." declared Robin.

"WHAT!"


"Delta squad, report." ordered Oracle.

"Delta squad here, we have approached the location where the Justice League members are being held. Getting ready to move in." reported Aqualad.

"Good, keep updated and keep safe." She said.

"Understood." replied Aqualad.

Aqualad got with Oracle and looked to the rest of his teammates who were analyzing the place.

"There doesn't look to be any guards." said Miss Martian.

"There probably is a security but we just haven't noticed it yet." replied Red Arrow.

Sphere rolled up next to him and made a silent beep.

"I'll take a look around and see if I can find anything." offered Bumblebee.

"Alright, but be careful." ordered Aqualad.

She nodded before shrinking down and flying off around the building.

"I hope none of them are hurt." whispered Miss Martian.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that they are fine." offered Batgirl. "There the Justice League they are tough."

"Agreed, I have seen them in many battles, they are as strong as they come." said Aqualad.

"Hard to believe that our Wally is one of the League members." commented Miss Martian.

Red Arrow let out a chuckle. "Yeah, little Wally really has grown up."

Soon Bumblebee returned. "There doesn't seem to be any type of security."

"Then let us make our move." decided Aqualad.


"So what exactly is the plan?" asked Artemis.

Nightwing, Superboy, Artemis, Red Robin and Flash were currently in the bio-ship flying to the Watch Tower.

"Go in there and stop whatever the hell their doing." replied Superboy.

"And not die." commented Red Robin.

"We can't just go in there and wing it. We have to have a plan." snapped Artemis.

"We do, we'll surprise attack them and take them out." said Nightwing.

Artemis jaw dropped. "That's your plan!"

"Sadly yes, we don't know what they're planning up there in the Watch Tower. If we did than we could plan this better but we can't." explained Nightwing.

"It's a good thing that we have the Kryptonite, I don't want to imagine what the fight would be like without It." admitted Superboy with a shiver.

"But that still leaves five of them." pointed out Artemis.

"That is if we survive long to even to take on all of them." said Flash.

"Um guys…" called Red Robin.

"What?" asked Nightwing.

"I think I found out what they planning." He announced.

Everyone looked to see where Red Robin was looking at and saw that coming out of the Watch tower was the fusion cannon.

"Well shit." said Superboy.

"What the hell is that?" shouted Artemis.

"The Watch Tower's fusion cannon." explained Flash.

"You guys have fusion cannon in space." said Red Robin.

"Yes, but it was supposed to be disabled." said Flash.

Superboy gave a grunt. "Doesn't look disable."

Flash couldn't help but be mad, mad that Conner was right. The fusion cannon didn't even look damaged, the same as when they first made the damn thing. Now Wally was only mad at him-self and felt so betrayed. Of course the original 6 decided not to keep their end of the deal and disable the fusion cannon.

"So what do we do now?" asked Superboy.

"Go in there and shut it down." declared Nightwing.

Flash nodded in agreement as Nightwing drove the bio-ship up to the Watch Tower.


"Okay Delta, remember we go in get Luthor and get out." commanded Robin.

Robin and Beast Boy were in the air vents above Luthor's office. Wonder girl and Blue Beetle were outside standing watch in case Robin and Beast Boy were caught.

"So how are we going to do this?" asked Beast Boy in a whisper.

"On my single, you keep the woman business while I grab Luthor."

"Got it"

"One…..two….."

Suddenly an alarm went off ringing through the building.

"What's going on?" asked Beast Boy.

Robin growled. "Probably Blue Beetle and Wonder girl tripped an alarm."

Lex Luthor below them sat at his desk working turned to look at this assistant. "Mercy it seems that we have a few intruders."

Mercy pointed her arm that turned into a gun up at the rafters and fired. Robin and Beast Boy soon fell and hit the carpet ground front of Luthor's desk.

"Well looks like the League is sending children to do their dirty work again." remarked Luthor.

Then Wondergirl and Blue Beetle came bursting into the room with guards following them.

"What the hell happened!" snapped Robin.

"Her fault, not mine." said Blue Beetle, pointing at Wondergirl.

"Hey!" the young amazon yelled. "You're just at fault as I am!"

"I don't have time for this, get rid of them." ordered Luthor.

"Wait Luthor, were here to protect you." explained Robin.

"Protect me from what?" questioned Lex Luthor.

"From the Justice Lords!" blurred out Beast Boy.

Robin shot the green boy a look as Luthor raised an eyebrow and glared harder at them.

"If this some kind of trick let me tell you that-"

"It's not a trick, their back and they want you dead when they somehow heard that you were running as President again. And trust me if it were up to me to me I be just fine with letting them kill you." informed Robin.

"I see, so what is your plan?" asked Luthor.

"To protect you from them." answered Blue Beetle. "We have to hide you where they can't find you."

Luthor sat back down at his desk. "So they send children to protect me, the League must not care enough then. Sorry I think I'll pass."

"Well to bad, but were not giving you another choice." snapped Robin.

"And it seems you aren't for me either." commented Luthor. "Mercy, destroy them." He ordered.


Batman wasn't sure how long they had been in there, maybe for 16 hours maybe 20 but Bruce knew that there was no way for him to escape otherwise he would have already. Bruce still remembers how it happened, Green Lantern had zeta beam up then a smoke screen went off and everything went dark. Batman kicked himself for being so careless, his mind had been on focus of nothing but finding Wally. When he came too chained up staring at another version of himself he knew that his theory had been confirmed that the Justice Lords were behind this.

Bruce worried about his son's. Were they alright? Did they notice that the Batman with them wasn't him? Of course they would, they were Bruce's boys he trained them after all. This meant that the Lords would have to get rid of them. He growled, if they hurt any of his boys then nothing is going to stop him from putting all of them in body cast. He looked around at all of the other capture League members and noticed the only one missing was Flash, Wally.

BOOM

Batman looked over to see that part of the wall had been blown off as smoke cleared to reveal Red Arrow and Batgirl.

"Nicely done Red Arrow." commented Batgirl.

"Thank you." he said.

Miss Martian flew in as Batgirl ran over to him.

"You okay?" she asked as she cut him free.

"How did you find us?" he asked.

"Nightwing, not exactly knew how he did it but he did." She answered.

Batman rose to his feet and the other League members got free.

"Where are the Justice Lords now?" questioned Superman weakly climbing to his feet with the help of Wonder Woman.

"At the Watch Tower." answered Aqualad.

Suddenly a loud alarm went off and a red flashing light went on.

"Did you check for any alarms?" asked Batman.

"Ops"


Flash crawled next to Artemis to look below at the Justice Lords; they were rebuilding the fusion cannon fast.

"There almost done fixing it." informed Flash. They had to hurry they were running out of time.

"If they plan to use that to kill Luthor than their going to kill more people than Luthor." said Artemis.

"I know and that's what scares Me." admitted Flash.

Flash looked above him to see Nightwing and Red Robin in the shadows hiding. He looked below him to see Lord Batman and Lord Wonder Woman walking away from the fusion cannon.

"I'm going to get in closer." said Flash.

Aretmis nodded "Be careful." she whispered.

He started to crawl down in a fast pace that couldn't be seen under the human eye. He ducked down behind a computer and glanced up at the fusion cannon. Wally remembered the last time the fusion cannon were used; it hit a town full of innocent civilians. He still remembers flying down helping with the damage. The homes that had been destroyed, the children separated from their parents and the number of people's death. It sent a chill to his spine thinking about all of it or at least that's what he thought it was.

"You're wasting your time trying to stop us."

Wally cursed himself, he had been caught. He whipped around to see Lord Batman standing before him.

"How did you escape?" he demanded.

"Help from your son's." Flash finally said.

"I see" He looked up at Nightwing and Red Robin hiding in the shadows.

"Stop it, leave them out of this." hissed Wally. "There not yours just like I'm not him."

"Maybe not but they're now involved and just like you I'm not going to let them stop me either." declared Lord Batman.

Batman hit a button and the alarm went off. Wally cursed under his breath; Batman had already called the Lords and informed them they were here. He ran out as Lord Batman started to hit something hard and flew back into the man standing before him. "I knew keeping you alive was a bad idea." he said. Before he could move Lord Superman grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off his feet. He struggled as the air was sucked out of him. The whole time Superman gave him a pure look of hatred that Wally had never seen in Clark's eyes before. Suddenly an arrow hit Superman in the shoulder and gases shot in the Man of Steels face causing him to drop Wally on the ground. He looked up to see Artemis firing arrows at Lord Superman. He coughed and gagged as the smoke cogged his throat.

Flash saw this as a chance to escape before the smoke cleared out. But as Flash ran off Lord Superman started to randomly fire his heat vision. One shot hit him in the leg near his knee. He screamed and hit the ground hard. Another one went off and went towards Artemis one went off and went towards Aretmis, all Wally heard was a scream before he saw her falling down from 10 feet in the air. Flash pushed the pain in his leg aside and ran towards Artemis and slid his body across like he was sliding to home base, he caught the female archer in his arms. She was bleeding from her shoulder but besides that she seemed fine besides a little shaken from the fall. Wally placed his hands over hers to stop the bleeding. He didn't notice the oncoming danger.

"Look out!" she screamed.

Wally whipped around to see Lord Superman flying at them. Without thinking Wally put himself in front of Artemis and used his body to shield her.

"Enough"

Superman stopped in mid-air and Wally and Artemis looked to see Lord Batman standing there with Lord Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter with a Nightwing, Superboy and Red Robin unconscious. The Dark's Knight hand was a metal case that Flash knew to be the Kryptonite they brought.

"Stand down, they're beaten." ordered the Dark Knight.

The Man of Steel looked like he was about to protest but decided to stand down when his eyes met Conner lying on the ground.

After the Lord Superman settle down Lord Batman walked up to Wally and Aretmis and stood over them.

"Game over"


"Next time we see Nightwing remind me to punch him in the face!" yelled Robin as he dodge another punch from Mercy.

"Yeah if we live that long!" shouted Blue Beetle.

He fired at Mercy who only dodge it and punch the boy in the chest sent him flying.

"Dude" he groaned "What did you make her out of?"

"Steel" answered Lex Luthor watching from his desk.

Robin flipped over and put an explosion on her back. It went off but Mercy was still standing there unscratched.

"I upgraded her since last time she was in a fight." remarked Luthor.

"Great, now it's almost impossible to beat her." said Wondergirl.

"That my dear is the whole point." replied Luthor.

Mercy arm turned into a gun again and shot the team down. Luthor smiled from his desk.

"Finish them"

Just as Mercy was about to shot them Robin threw a bat-ringed, it hit Mercy's gun and exploded causing her to fly back and hit Luthor's desk. Her face now burned and the fake skin peeled to show the metal face.

All the teens stood up in amazement.

"Whoa, that was cool." breathed Beast Boy.

Luthor reached under his desk and pulled out a gun but Blue Beetle shot out and knocked the gun out of his hands. Then Wonder girl threw her lasso and trapped the man. Soon they had Luthor tied up sitting before them.

"Now that we have Luthor we can get out of here." cheered Beast Boy.

"Good let's go, we wasted enough time here." ordered Robin as he made his way to the door but soon a metal wall came down and sealed them off.

Robin turned to Luthor "What are you doing?" he snapped.

"It's not me, someone must have turned on the lock out system from the outside." admitted Luthor.

"What does that mean?" asked Wondergirl.

Robin looked up in terror. "It means were too late."


"Well that wasn't too bad." cheered Green Arrow.

All around the floor were broken robots from the Watchtower.

"Easy for you to say." groaned Superman still dizzy from the red sun he was under.

"But why did your robots attack us?" Bumblebee asked.

"They probably were reprogramed to make sure that we wouldn't leave." stated Batman.

"So what's our next plan?" asked Black Canary kicking one of the heads of the robots.

"We have to get back to the Watchtower." declared Wonder Woman.

"Yeah good luck with that, the Lords have overtaken It." commented Batgirl.

Batman glanced around the room. "Where is the rest of the team?"

"Robin, Blue Beetle, Wondergirl and Beast Boy are protecting Lex Luthor." informed Miss Martian.

"And the others?" asked Green Lantern.

"They went up to the Watch Tower." answered Red Arrow bluntly.

"They what!" both Superman and Batman cried.

"They're the ones that kidnapped Wally and you all just let them go up there!" scolded Superman. "What if they get killed!" he yelled.

"I know you are all worried but this was Nightwing's plan, and I have faith him and the others." said Aqualad.

"Having faith in someone doesn't change the chance of what might happen." growled Batman.

"We have to get up there." declared Shayera.

"That's going to be a little hard to do since the Lords have shut down all zeta beam transportation." announced Aqualad.

"I could bring a squad up there that can go in outer space." offered Green Lantern.

"Wait, let's hold on until they contract us back." suggested Miss Martian.

"We can't just wait here and hope that the Lords don't kill them before then!" snapped Batman.

Red Arrow walked up to Batman. "Bruce I know you scared but your boys and Wally can take care of themselves. They are strong we have to believe in them."

Batman sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He knew that Roy was right and he hated it, part of him missed the time when they were all just little kids and he could just send them home and know that they were safe. But then they got older and decided that they didn't want to listen anymore to their mentors and the next thing Bruce knows Dick is Nightwing leading the team, Roy is a solo hero and Wally took the mantle as Flash. Why did time have to move so fast?

Aqualad walked up the Red Arrow and Batman that were huddle with the other original members of the League.

"We have a problem." he stated.

Shayera groaned. "What is it?"

Aqualad's face was grim. "Oracle just contacted me; Beta squad is trapped inside of Lex Corp with Lex Luthor."


Flash struggled and thrashed. "Let me go!" he yelled. The metal binds pieced into his skin as he struggled more. He looked up from the table he was strapped down to glare into the back of Lord Batman facing away from him. He had been separated from the others when they were captured by the Lords. Flash only hoped that they were only being held hostage and not killed.

"Don't bother escaping." said Lord Batman. "This time no one is going to rescue you." He pressed a button the gravity beam hit Flash pinning him to the lab table.

"You…can't do…t-this!" gasped Wally from the pressure on his body. "P-please….it's…not….-"

"Nothing you can say is going to make me change my mind."

"If you do this not just Luthor will be killed, millions of people will die!" shouted Flash.

Lord Batman walked up to Wally and removed his mask before taking off his own. At the corner of Wally's eye he could see a lost broken down look in the man's face that reflected off the others from the other world.

Lord Batman reached forward and placed his on Wally's forehead.

"Don't touch me!" yelled Wally.

"I'm doing this all for you." explained the Dark Knight.

Wally did his best to jerk his head away from the hand. "You're not doing this for me or even the other me that died. You're doing this only for revenge!" he shouted "And you have gone as low as Luthor to achieve what you want." he snapped.

Lord Batman was quiet just staring at him until he removed his hand and put back on his mask. Then the Dark Knight stormed out of the room and locked the door behind him leaving Wally completely trapped.
