Chapter 47: Accelerating Plans
(The Watchtower, a few days later)
Vandal Savage is roaring with utter fury. The Light hadn't ever seen him this furious before. Even when Aqualad and the team had sabotage their summit with the Reach, Savage hadn't ever been this angry. Something made him snap.
"I'm guessing our military project has gone completely wrong since I've been imprisoned?" The Brain asked.
"Indeed." Savage snarled.
"It's fortunate to have you back. Now that we have one of our original council members back amongst us. We can continue on with our plans." Luthor stated.
"How did he get out? No one ever told me." Sportsmaster grunted.
"I was able to convince the president to free him and Monsieur Mallah. He, the government, the military, and law enforcement are continuing to agree with me on all matters. They shall soon accept the Light as their true leaders." Luthor replied in his usual confident persona.
"Indeed, and also thank you for this new suit. It is most acceptable." The Brain replied.
The Brain had been outfitted with a suit similar to the one before, except this one is colored white and silver.
"What of our plans?" The Brain then asked.
"We must accelerate them! With the Chimera and Queen Bee free, the represent a threat that will disrupt one of our major goals! The goal that of which we've been preparing for since we designed the Chimera Project." Savage answered.
"Are you're sure we're ready?" Ra's asked.
"This was the basis for our new world's armies and enforcers for humanity's evolution & rise to power! We must act quickly and ruthlessly!" Vandal replied.
The others looked didn't look so sure.
"If we don't, there is no telling what shall occur! The children shall sabotage our efforts even more with their Chimera ally freed. Queen Bee possibly has connections we don't know about; perhaps that thing that killed Ra's assassins provided her shelter & protection." Savage grunted as he rubbed his chin.
The others agreed.
"Good." Savage grunted.
Savage snapped his fingers and the group disappeared.
(An unknown location)
The group stood on a catwalk, except for Ra's who stood in front of his army of assassins, possibly hundreds of 'regular' men totally loyal to their master.
"Today is the dawn of a new age for humanity! You, the Earth's greatest warriors, shall be the Light's army to bring this new age into this world's history! You shall be strengthened with a gift to bring about this new age to protect humanity's evolution & our rise to power in the cosmos!" Ra's proclaimed.
The League of Shadows cheered in excitement and pride at their master's words of encouragement.
"Mr. and Mrs. Bright, it's time. Administer the serum to them." Savage stated.
"With pleasure." The two replied in unison, sinister grins on their faces.
The two mad scientists administered the serums by injection to each of the men under Ra's command. The white liquid had been duplicated into mass quantities, having been mass produced. Savage walked down to talk to the scientists.
"So their powers are as I requested?" Savage asked.
"Of course! Superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, durability, stamina, enhanced senses, an accelerated healing factor…everything." Carrie chuckled.
"How did you complete the new serum? I've been too busy to ask." Savage asked.
"The unknown black cells were removed by human DNA. It bonded with the rest of the DNA we gathered to give you our perfected serum. Your army of light is ready." John answered.
"You two are oddly happy." Vandal replied.
"Soon that thing shall die, by our greatest creations." The two chuckled in unison.
Savage nodded, and walked back up to the catwalk. Ra's now there as well, all of them watching as the Brights and other scientists who had aided them injected each man under the Light's command with the serum.
"I have a question that has been bugging me for some time since you all created this project, Savage." Sportsmaster said.
"What is it, old friend" Vandal asked.
"Why use the abilities of animals for your army? Why not a combination of the powers of the Justice League?" The man asked.
"If we had gone hunting for the League and their powers, it would've made quite the mess. It would've been too risky and inevitably messy. Also, animals present powers that are quite useful…also…it's a sense of vengeance for me." Savage answered.
"Come again?" Lawrence grunted.
"Before I gained my immortality, I gained these three scars. That of which never fully healed, even after I gained my immortality by bathing in the radiation of that meteor…" Savage replied.
"What gave you those scars?" Sportsmaster asked.
"A hideous cave bear...as black as night…that night still haunts my dreams. But now knowing I'm basically enslaving the animal kingdom by using their powers for an army under our command…makes me smile." The immortal replied, a satisfied grin on his scarred face.
"Ok…but now you have that army…what now?" Sportsmaster asked.
"They shall be outfitted with gear that shall be used for a very important mission to secure humanity's place as the dominant species amongst the cosmos." Savage answered.
After the army had been injected with the serum, they were given different weapons and armor for their eventual conquests.
"My men are ready Savage. What now?" Ra's asked.
"Having a detachment stay here. Klarion, I, and part the army shall head to the designated location to complete our mission. You shall lead the rest until my return. Deal with our enemies here. Also, I want the first Chimera to suffer before he dies. I have related the plans to you and the others earlier." Savage answered.
"Of course, it shall be done. The boy's parents will be present; they shall be instrumental in his suffering." Ra's replied.
Savage and Klarion with Teekl stood before the section of the army going with them.
"Now is the time to start our conquest of the cosmos! We shall eliminate a major threat to our goals and eventual rise to power! Come, we take control of our destiny!" Savage shouted as Klarion opened a huge red portal.
The army cheered as they followed their leaders through the mystic portal, before it disappeared. Ra's turned to the rest of them.
"It is time to take care of things here. Luthor you know what to do. I'm sure the children are completing their part. Sportsmaster, Deathstroke you shall organize your team and the remaining part of the Chimera army. It is time to end the opposition." Ra's ordered.
To be continued…
