INVASION
PART 1. DARK HEROLD
BATMAN
Batman heads the investigation into Cyborg's origin. So to Star Labs he goes with Huntress, the Question, and Green Arrow. Professor Emile tells them that Silas had been fired from STAR LABS. So they go to his home. "He's not here." Batman says scanning the house with his sonar vision. They enter the House and as Arrow and Huntress search the House Batman sits at the computer and hacks into it. Question is standing over his shoulder.
"He owns a yacht, a cabin in Big Bear…And another House on the Hamptons." Question says.
"Yes but which one did he go to?"
"That is the Question."
Batman stops typing, "Do you have to say that all the time?"
"Yes I do…His son was born the yacht…He's on the yacht."
"We searched the House…" Huntress says joining them with Green Arrow. "Found a picture of the Professor, his wife, and son on a yacht."
They fly out to the yacht in the javelin which is at sea. They teleport down and find the yacht on autopilot. Professor Silas is drunk on the floor in his cabin. Arrow sits him up and Question sticks him with a medi-gun. "What is that?" Batman asks.
"A concoction of my own design. I had to question a drunk witness on many occasions. I invented this to bring them out of their alcoholic induced state."
"The Justice League! Why couldn't you just leave me to my drunken stupor?"
"The real question Professor is about the technology you used your son. Who gave it to you?"
"Some man named Dennis. I met him at the Goodness Hotel."
They go to the Hotel as Helena Bertninelli, Oliver Queen, and Victor Sage. Batman sneaks in as himself to try and get to the Manager's office. "Good Morning and Welcome to the Goodness Hotel. How may I help the Huntress, Green Arrow and the Question?"
"Uh Batman they know our secret identities…Batman? Batman!" Oliver says over the COM.
The tall woman behind the desk takes out a shield and spear. Steel doors cover the windows and main entrance as three more women come out. The three heroes press buttons on their watches and their costumes and weapons appear over their bodies. Green Arrow fires an arrow at the woman who blocks it with her shield.
"These ginger snaps don't have any powers…They won't be much fun." The bigger woman says. She stomps her foot shattering the floor and knocking the Question and Arrow off their feet. Huntress grapples up to the second level with her crossbow.
A woman with green hair and a slender athletic build leaps up after her. "Wanna play slice up?" She asks as claws sprout from in between her knuckles.
"I have a better game…It's called William Tell and we don't need any apples." Huntress replies firing her crossbow at the green haired woman.
Meanwhile below The Question and Green Arrow fight a losing battle against the other three women. Then the floor explodes up and Batman flies up throwing smoke pellets. "It's a trap…We need to get out of here!" Btaman says as he lands next to Question.
"We need backup! Preferably some heavy hitters."
WATCHTOWER
"We lost contact with Batman and his team." J'onn says.
"Teleport us down there!" Superman says flying over to the teleporter to join Wonder Woman and Black Lightning.
HOTEL GOODNESS
When they reach the front of the Hotel Superman uses his heat-vision to burn a whole into the main lobby. They fly into the hotel and Wonder Woman stairs in awe.
"Barda?" She says looking at the tall woman.
"Do I know you?"
"Barda it's me Diana."
"Shut up!" She attacks her as Superman flies into the building.
"Finally a real challenge." The bulky muscular woman says. She leaps at Superman feet first. He grabs her feet, spins her around and throws her into the wall. Meanwhile Black Lightning flies up and blasts the green haired woman with his powers.
"Huntress withdraw!"
CYBORG – WATCHTOWER
As the fight unfolds Cyborg accesses the internet and hacks the nuclear missile system of every country around the world. He launches the missiles into a space, but a few of the US missiles he targets at the Watchtower. Then he opens a boom-tube for some terror demons. "Unauthorized visitors lock down initiated." The computer announces.
"There are three US nuclear missiles heading our way." J'onn announces as Terror demons try to attack him.
"I'm on it!" Green Lantern says. John places a shield around the Watchtower just before the missiles hit and explodes. The rest of the nuclear missiles explode in orbit away from the Earth and Watchtower.
Just as all seems lost Red Tornado, Supergirl, and Blue Beetle return in the Javelin 2. "The computer says the Watchtower is on lockdown…We'll have teleport in." Supergirl says. The three heroes place the Javelin 2 on autopilot and teleport aboard. Supergirl blasts a Terror demon with her heat vision. Then she punches a second into another and freezes a fourth with her ice breath.
"Jaime Reyes…We are detecting Apokoliptan enhanced individual on board…We must attack with extreme prejudice."
"What if we reprogram him."
"Possible, but if we fail the father-box will corrupt us."
"Then we don't fail amigo."
They fight their way through the hordes of Terror demons and tackle Cyborg. Cyborg blasts him, but Beetle turns his arm into a shield and fires his sonic cannon. That is when Supergirl flies up behind Cyborg and bear hugs him. This allows Blue Beetle to plug into Cyborg and begin the reprogramming process. "We are father-box, you cannot defeat us!"
Green Lantern places a shield around Supergirl and Blue Beetle so that Beetle can work in peace. After a while Blue Beetle is able to reprogram Cyborg. "Thank you." Cyborg says.
"You can thank us by helping us to defeat these Terror demons." Supergirl says.
DARKSEID
"My lord…Fatherbox is off line. It refuses to communicate with the Dark Source."
"It does not matter the Cyborg has served his purpose and rid us of the Earth's nuclear arsenal…Open the boom-tubes and send forth the legions."
"It shall be done oh mighty Darkseid…Who shall lead them?"
Darkseid looks at his son, "Kalibak your time has come."
"I will not fail you father."
"We shall see. Bring the Earth to its knees."
Kalibak stands on a hover disk and raises his club. The legions of Apokolips cheer. "Death to the old gods…long live the new gods!"
PART 2. DARKSEID COMES
KALIBAK
Boom-tubes open up all over the earth and the Terror demons swarm across the Earth attacking military bases. The humans fight back, but they are overwhelmed by the enemy's advanced weapons. "Destroy them! Destroy them all…Bring glory to Apokolips and Lord Darkseid!" Kalibak commands from his hover disk.
Someone fires a missile from a rocket launcher at Kalibak. It explodes, but he is unharmed. "Nice try human." He points his mace at the man and sends an energy beam at the man. There is a an explosion and when the smoke clears Superman is standing in front of the soldier. "The Kryptonian! Come son of Krypton…Let us see if you can face a new god and win."
Superman explodes off the ground and flies at Kalibak. Kalibak swings his club, but Superman catches it and punches Kalibak who goes flying off the hover disk. He hits the ground tearing it up."So much for being a new god." Superman says floating above Kalibak.
"You dare strike the heir of Darkseid!"
"I dare!"
Kalibak spits and leaps up punching Superman, as he goes flying back Kalibak blasts him with his energy mace. When Kalibak lands Superman kicks him between the legs. Kalibak roars as Superman floats off his back and strikes Kalibak across the head with both hands. Then he grabs his left foot, spins him around and throws him away from the military base. Kalibak stands and picks up a bolder, which he throws at Superman who is flying at him.
Superman shatters the bolder, with one punch and tackles Kalibak. They trade punches fighting back and forth. Finally Kalibak's right fist glows blue and he gut punches Superman who hits his knees. "I win Kryptonian."
Superman looks up, his eyes glowing bright red and he eye blasts Kalibak in the face blinding him. He leaps up and punches Kalibak knocking him out.
THAMYSCIRA
The Amazon Legions are gathered armed and armored, "My sisters the time has come!" Queen Hippolyta says, "The Earth is peril, but it shall not stand alone…To war!" The Amazons cheer as they use their magic to open portals to key battle grounds across the planet. Despite their primitive weapons they are able to kill the armored bug-like terror demons and smash their machines of war. The Amazons also have giant cyclops, minotaurs, a Nimerian bull, and a Chimera to fight. Soon the skies turn dark as the Olympians Ares, Hercules, Ephestus and their children, Jupiter, Mars, Arpheena, and Vulcan appear to help.
DARKSEID
"My Lord the old gods have appeared. The one called Superman has bested your son Kalibak and the Amazons fight beside the humans."
Darkseid stands up and opens a boom-tube, "Tremble before me for I Lord Darkseid am come." He says floating through the boom-tube.
"Darkseid!" Ares says and leaps at him. Darkseid's eyes glow and he blasts Ares who hits the ground. Darkseid leaps at him and smashes his chest in with his Warhammer.
Hercules throws lightning bolts at Darkseid. Then he leaps at Darkseid punching him in the face. On the third punch Darkseid catches his fist and tries to hit him with his hammer, but Hercules stops the hammer with his free hand. The two godlike beings wrestle against one another. Jupiter son of Ares tries to attack Darlseid from behind, but Darkseid's eyes glow, his omega beams bend backwards and hits him in the chest.
"Stay back he is mine!" Hercules says.
"Not strong enough." That is when Wonder Woman lassos his neck and pulls him over slamming Darkseid into the ground. "A daughter of Zeus…Come half-blood! Show Darkseid what you are made of."
She slams her bracers together and unleashes a wave of lightning at him. Lightning bolt bounce off his body as he runs at Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman draws her sword and swings, but Darkseid grabs it with his hand and breaks the sword. She spins around hitting him with her shield and he blasts her with his Omega beams, which she blocks with her bracers after losing her shield.
That is when Supergirl, Blue Beetle, Cyborg, and Red Tornado boom-tube to the area. Another boom-tube opens and Steppenwolf appears to fight beside his Master. Blue Beetle and Supergirl attack Steppenwolf, while Cyborg and Red Tornado help Wonder Women.
Supergirl flies low and grabs Darkseid by his feet, she spins him around and throws him Blue Beetle who blasts him with his sonic cannon. He stops in the air and stands up as if he is standing on something solid. "The other Kryptonian."
"My Lord the scanners detect an army of Green Lanterns heading towards the Earth."
"Deploy more troops."
That is when Superman appears holding Kalibak, "Darkseid withdraw your forces from earth or else."
He laughs, "Your threats amuse me Superman…Tell me why would I surrender?"
"Because if don't I will boom-tube your son Kalibak to New Genesis." Cyborg replies, "And if I do that Highfather will see it as an act of war…He will send his armies to our aid."
"Well played…You turned my own creation against me and use my son as leverage. So be it…I will withdraw my forces from earth, but know this…I am Darkseid…Lord of Apokolips and thousand conquered worlds…That which I cannot have I destroy…" His eyes glow for a second and then he raises his right hand and makes a fist. Boom-tubes all over the earth open up and his army withdraws. Only then does Cyborg and Superman release Kalibak. "A parting gift to remember me by…Cyborg!" He opens two portals and through the portal Cyborg can see his father.
"Father!"
"Victor!"
"DARKSEID NO!" Superman screams.
Darkseid incinerates Cyborg's father with his eye beams and leaves through the first portal.
Not long after Darkseid returns to Apokolips Highfather's hologram appears to him. "Darkseid."
"Highfather."
"I am putting you on notice…The earth is now under my protection."
"So it is."
