Chapter 17 Power Battle
Author's note: I know that Kilgore is spelled with a % in the comics but it wasn't letting me put that it for some reason, I don't know why.
Back at Star Labs
Lincoln, Killer Frost, Kilgore, and Malcolm Merlyn prepare for battle. Beast Boy changes his form into a green rhinoceros and then charges at the group, they dodge. Beast Boy charges once again at them, but Killer Frost fires an ice beam at the floor where Beast Boy is running and he slips and crashes into a wall. Kilgore's eyes turn purple and electrical chords trap the hero. But Beast Boy turns into a ferocious dinosaur and frees himself. From the distance Raven says
"Hey Beast Boy, need some help?" She casts a spell that surrounds Beast Boy in a purple aura sphere. Beast Boy once again charges, most of the four dodge except for Malcolm Merlyn. He fires a few arrows at Beast Boy but they are caught by the sphere and destroyed. Malcolm stands there starring in awe as Beast Boy charges at him. Just before Beast Boy hits him Merlyn is saved by Lincoln who dives into him. Merlyn says
"Thanks for the Rookie, any ideas how to beat them?" Lincoln replies
"Not really but I am feeling weird about the machine over there" Lincoln points at a machine behind glass with a mirror behind it. Killer Frost skates over to them and says
"Well since none of us have any sort of plan, we'll go with the Rookie's plan" They all nod, Kilgore uses his power to emerge a steam pipe from the floor which blinds Beast Boy, then Killer Frost fires her ice beam at the pipe creating an icy cage. She exclaims
"That won't hold for long so let's hurry" They all rush over to the glass, but Raven casts magic blasts at them. Kilgore says
"I'll keep her busy" He uses his power to on turn the security, which reveals a series of turrets turned on Raven, she dodges the blasts and destroys a few of them. Merlyn fires his explosion arrow at the glass. It hits and then explodes but as the dust clears the glass appears completely intact. They look in awe at the glass. Then from behind them, a voice says
"How about a little help" They look behind them and reveal it is Mirror Master.
Meanwhile with the others
Peak-A-Boo, Weather Wizard, Captain Cold, and Heatwave are chasing Kid Flash. Captain Cold fires an ice blast from his cold gun at Kid Flash, but Kid Flash dodges and the blast hits the wall. Kid Flash then runs and tries to knock out Peek-A-Boo, she teleports making him stop. Heatwave shoots his flamethrower and scorches a tiny section of Kid Flash's costume. Kid Flash vibrates with his super speed putting out the fire. Kid Flash circles around Heatwave disarming him of his flamethrower. Kid Flash then says
"Not so hot now, Heatwave" Without Kid Flash noticing Weather Wizard blasts a gust of wind at Kid Flash which sends him flying to the wall and dropping Heatwave's flamethrower. Heatwave picks up his flamethrower and Captain Cold fires an ice beam at Kid Flash creating an icy dome. The four go to rejoin the others.
Back with the first group
Mirror Master fires his mirror blasts to create a breach between the glass. Mirror Master and Lincoln go through and Lincoln walk slowly close to the machine. Lincoln touches it and feels an energy burst from inside of himself. It releases a mini explosion that makes Lincoln fall to the floor. Mirror Master looks at him in surprise and he asks
"I know we just met and all but could you always do that?" Lincoln baffled replies as he turns around
"What do you mean?" Lincoln looks in shock at his surrounding that is very much bigger than he is. He has shrunk, Lincoln tries to use his new found powers and returns to his original size. Lincoln says excited "Woah, I can shrink!" Mirror Master says in awe
"So I'm guessing this a new power" Lincoln shakes his head happily. The two of them return from behind the glass to Merlyn and Killer Frost. In the corner of Lincoln's eye, he sees an air vent and asks
"Merlyn can you launch an arrow to the other end of that air vent?" Merlyn nods and looks at the other end of the air vent that right next to Raven, this makes Merlyn grin as he takes out his bow and arrow and aims up. Lincoln shrinks down in size and lands on the arrow. Merlyn takes the shot which sends Lincoln flying at incredible speed. The arrow his wall near Raven. He lets go of the arrow and regrows to normal size as well as keeping his presence unaware to Raven. He points his hand at Raven and fires his heat blast at Raven. This sends Raven crashing to the floor. Lincoln does a flip off the ledge and landing on the floor unscathed. Beast Boy wakes up and sees this, it enrages him and he breaks the ice cage. Beast Boy turns into a wolf a runs towards Lincoln, but he is pierced by an arrow. Killer Frost freezes Beast Boy's legs stopping him in his place. The other group of villains comes in sliding Kid Flash in a dome of ice. Captain Cold says
"Good you guys finished them off, now what's taking Reverse Flash so long" right after he says that they all hear the whoosh of super speed coming towards them. It is Reverse Flash. Reverse Flash says
"I found out who we're dealing with" He takes out a newspaper that reads "Crime Syndicate, the real bad guys" with a picture of Ultraman smiling. Just then Reverse Flash is hit with an energy blast. The villains turn around to see none other than Johnny Quick, Deathstorm, and Atomica. He says
"Going somewhere, bad guys" The ice melts and Beast Boy, Kid Flash, and Raven to get up. Beast Boy asks
"Aren't you those Justice Syndicate dudes?" Johnny Quick nods yes and replies pointing around
"Deathstorm, Atomica, and me, Johnny Quick the fastest man alive. Try to keep up" All villains and heroes begin to fight one another, with heat, ice, and mirror blasts sent around and people getting thrown. Johnny Quick fights Reverse Flash which Killer Frost gets hit in the crossfire which sends her to the ground next to the newspaper. She grabs the paper and heads for the door. Weather Wizard and Lincoln sees her and follows soothe. Mirror Master sees this and says
"Just go, we'll handle this" The three rush towards the door are intercepted by Deathstorm, who grabs the paper and rip it into shreds. He laughs which makes him not notice Peek-A-Boo grab the three and teleport out. Deathstorm opens his eyes and sees that they are gone which makes him frown.
