Hello, everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving! How are all of you doing today? I hope you're all doing well. I am SuperHeroTimeFan, and I am back on FanFiction with a brand-new Chapter for my greatest Star Wars and Young Justice Story, Journey of the Knight: Honor Bound! It's great to be back on this day, especially with all that has been going on with me in my life. I've been struggling to get my grades up. It's hard, but I'm getting there and balancing out my time as well, trying to make time for my stories and all. It takes a lot out of you, but I'm glad that you all continue to support me. Thank you all for helping me in these times. That gratitude goes out especially to MinuteMan76, MartyrFan, The Mandalorian Terminator, Jacqueline Karst, Logan GC, FusionBase27A, Ezra Wren, Ultimate Advent Story Dude VII, Eubulon Zenith Extreme, Geo Hikari The 2nd, Cycomatrix Eternal, fire-storm-amagi, The REAL Doom Marine 54, Hay Lin x Tsukasa Kadoya, Ross Blum the IV, Rebel Sabine Bridger, HarmonyGirl567, Riku Soncazenosee, Dwayne McDuffie, Bowser3000000, animebella09, Slade The Terminator, High Supreme King Of Awesome, Tines Sensahthe, Ultra Neo Kamen Rider 15, Awesometacular Extravaganza, 17lakect, the conman w, PHL360, Spartan of Chaos, GundamTachiagate, Phily76, dragonslayerajahn, DJ Meltdown of Ground Xero, Dragon Slayer John, Just a Crazy-Man, Joey Lumbley, Mr. StrangerMan98, Rebecca Chambers Rules, Sleeping Skeleton, Nibra Ha Rishon, Mr. FNAF Fan-Gamer, LadyStar10, Neos the Final Builder, Maniiikz, 1049, Taiski, ToLegitt2Quit, RebeccaSnow23, Carlos Jacob, Armando Andres Romero Lozano 7, Wolfslick, CT7567Rules, Outplace, TheGreatGodzilla, Darth Sicarius, AbbyDobbie, Maximus Potter, Darth Khan, Virgil1989 The Crossover King, and all of you Guest Reviewers. It would be impossible for me to be anywhere else without any of you for your support. Thank you all. Now, remember, before I can get the Story started, I must address the reviews from the last Chapter. From Carlos Jacob, I thank you for always giving out news on everything Star Wars and DC alike. I have learned that there will be a series focusing on Cassian Andor before he appeared in Rogue One. As for your questions, I haven't seen any FanFilms lately because of all the work I have been occupied with. I am enjoying Star Wars Resistance so far, yes, and I can't wait for when Kylo Ren will appear, since it was announced that Adam Driver will be reprising the role. I don't think I can do your OC Character. As I stated before, I don't want any questions involving what will happen later on, as I am focusing on the Clone Wars and not the events of Order 66 yet. I don't know if you've been paying attention, but Ahsoka has always had her original lightsabers since the start of Path of the Padawan. I'll have something where she gets to use them again for the Siege of Mandalore, but not right now. Having the Republic show disgust to Queen Bee is something that I won't be having. Lee-Char, Nossor Ri and Ackbar will be staying in the Expanded Universe until I find an idea for them, which is not right now. I will not be having any power swaps. I'll think on having the Bioship be used in a race. I don't want to make any upgrades to the Kryptonians to make them immune to Kryptonite because it would be OP. Also, I don't know where you got that news, but when I started this Chapter, Batman Ninja was not on Netflix. Also, to the Guest Reviewer, because you have been repeatedly asking for her, even though I have been refusing, Raven's Mother is not going to appear in this Story in any medium. Do not ask again, or else Night Force will be canceled. So no more talk of Arella, and no more asking about Night Force. Also, to Travis Middleton, aka The Mandalorian Terminator, I have answered all of your questions via Private Message, as usual. Now, with all questions and annoyances out of the way, here is my brand-new Chapter, the final part of the Beware My Power Arc! Please be sure to review, rate, and as always, please be sure to enjoy!
Chapter 21: Green Lantern's Light!
In memory of Stan Lee (December 28th, 1922 – November 12th, 2018)
Where there's a Will, there's a Way.
Crisis on Earth-16! After facing many battles with their new allies from Shei'Ten Kar, the Allied Forces find themselves up against Darth Maul when he brings his ultimate weapon, the RUINATION, to Earth! Unleashing a devastating attack, the Young Justice, the Neo Young Justice, the Jedi, Republic and Separatists ready themselves to take on the Shadow Collective, unaware that a new Legionnaire, Siren, is hatching a plan with the Dark Sith himself to liberate his imprisoned followers from the hands of the Justice League's Watchtower! Defeating the League easily, Maul begins his real attack on Earth. However, Ahsoka uses her knowledge of the portals connecting Earth to the Expanded Universe to summon a Republic Fleet. Now, the Battle for Earth against the Shadow Collective and the Dark Side begins!
"Obsidian Squadron, on me!" Tiber Saxon called out as he flew his personal rapid-fire Death Watch Fighter over Rome. "Send a message to this city! Make sure that Earth bows before the Shadow Collective!"
"Sir, we're getting incoming fighters!" one of the Death Watch Devils of Obsidian Squadron called out. "They're all over me!"
"Obsidian-5, repeat!" Tiber called out, only to get static. "Keep a look out!" he ordered the rest of Obsidian Squadron. "The League's already down! With all the Young Justice occupied, Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker can't pull off any surprises."
"Evening, Traitor," a voice said. "Perhaps you've heard of the name Fenn Rau, leader of Skull Squadron," he went on. "And Protector of Concord Dawn."
"Impossible…" Tiber said in surprise. "The Ruination has an eye on the Vortex. How did you get here before us?!"
"That's for us to know and for you to never find out," Fenn Rau replied. "Alright, Skull Squadron, let's show them what real Mandalorians can do!"
"By all accounts, this doesn't make sense," Tiber said before thrusting forward. "Take them out!"
Obsidian Squadron flew over Mount Vesuvius, firing away at Fenn Rau and his Skull Squadron. On the ground, several Romans armed with swords and ancient weapons charged at the Death Watch Ground Forces, taking out as many as they could.
At the same time, as Clone Troops fought in Tibet against the Shadow Collective, Cheshire ran across the roofs, several Death Watch Devils on her trail. She turned around after making the next jump and tossed explosive shurikens at them, causing them to explode instantly, before landing on the ground, where more Death Watch Devils surrounded her.
"Game ends here, Kitty!" a Death Watch Devil yelled.
"Oh, I beg to differ." Cheshire said, unsheathing her swords.
"Fire!" the Death Watch Commando ordered.
All of the Death Watch Devils surrounding Cheshire opened fire. However, Cheshire has already taken out her swords and was deflecting the blasts. She leapt onto the shoulders of one of the Devils and snapped his neck before cutting off the knees of another as she leapt off. She spun around and stabbed her swords into the heads of two more before tossing her swords right into the abdomens of another set. As soon as she lost her weapons, she reached for her sais and disarmed a Death Watch Devil behind her. She leapt up as more fired on her and took out chains, using them to deflect the blasts before snapping the necks of several more. When she landed again, she stabbed her sais right into the necks of three Death Watch Devils before regaining her swords. She dug them into the ground, marking the blood from them, before spinning around again, tossing forward a dozen grenades. All of the Death Watch Devils yelled as they were killed instantly in the explosion.
"Don't say I didn't warn you," Jade remarked before looking up to the Ruination. "You're messing with Earth now!" she called out as several people looked out. "Unless you brought a bigger gun, you'd better get the hell out of here!" she yelled, causing everyone to cheer.
Over Stonehenge, several fighter jets chased after Mandalorian Fighters. Shining Knight ran over and slashed down several ground troops before Chas fired at them. The two looked to each other and nodded before firing at the rest of the Death Watch Forces before John Constantine kicked away one of them. He ducked from a series of blasts before placing his hand on the ground and closing his eyes.
"Rushaa Khan Fuego Namare Incendia!" John Constantine called out, spreading fire around him, Chas and Shining Knight. The wave sent the Death Watch Devils flying into the air, where they were unintentionally shot down by several Mandalorian Fighters and Jets.
"How did the Republic get here in so little time?" Darth Maul asked as he watched the battles happen across the Earth. "The Ruination has been blocking the Vortex for hours! How are we suddenly evenly-matched?!"
"I don't know, my Master," Lady Shiva replied before opening the cargo bay door of the Byakko as she activated her jetpack. "But the Earth will be no match for the full Legion of Doom once we're done with them!" she called out before jumping out. She activated her two red blades and spun them around, allowing her to fly through the air before Blackfire, General Zod and several other flyers joined her. "Rain all Hell onto the insurgency!" she yelled before several Death Watch Devils flew with her towards the people of Happy Harbor.
On the Ruination, Jessica backed away with Anakin, still in the LothHawk, using her Royal Saber to deflect their blasts while Anakin fired back. The blast from the LothHawk took out most of the Death Watch Devils before Jessica used a boomerang construct to take out the rest.
"You okay there, General Skywalker?" Jessica asked.
"I'm fine, and so is the LothHawk, thanks for asking," Anakin said as he checked the systems. "I'm not picking up that Shield Generator anywhere. Widen the scans, Artoo."
R2-D2 beeped and spun his head around, using an antennae to widen his range.
"Guys, how are we looking there?" Ahsoka asked through the Comms.
"I don't know how the Light and the League found the Shield Generator last time, Ahsoka, but we're not having much luck here," Anakin replied. "They must have some kind of cloaking technology or something."
"My Ring isn't picking up anything either," Jessica added on. "Maul must have learned from Lady Shiva about the defeat over Lothal and made some major modifications to the Ruination," she mused. "Taking this thing down will be harder than we thought!"
"At least tell me you closed the Hangar Door!" Ahsoka called out as she flew away from several Mandalorian Fighters. "We're getting out hands full out here!"
"I've got a guided missile about to handle that right now!" Anakin called out. He fired his missile from the LothHawk, only for blast doors to appear and cause an explosion once the missile hit. "Hold that thought," he said before getting out. "Artoo, take control." He ordered.
R2 beeped once more.
"Blast Doors cutting off our way…" Jessica said. "I thought we're smarter than this to get caught so easily."
"Yeah, I'm as surprised as you are," Anakin said. He took out his lightsaber and activated it. "I know you don't have the Force, but do you feel that things are about to get worse?"
"I don't need to say what you're thinking to know something bad is about to happen," Jessica said as she twirled around her Royal Saber. "Get ready for what comes next."
Anakin nodded before placing his hand to his head. "Ahsoka, we're about to have company, and judging from the fact that whoever's on the bridge just activated the Blast Doors, you're about to get company too."
"Hate to add to it, but the Scimitar and the Byakko have just made their way to Earth!" Miss Martian called from the ground below. "We just got calls from Jesse and the Natural that Blackfire was spotted flying over Central City and towards Jump City."
"This is bad," Ahsoka said. She leapt out of the Phoenix Riser, her Space Suit manifesting over her body, and fired a Beam of Light that took out thirty Mandalorian Fighters and Shadow Collective Rapid-fire Fighters altogether. She flew to Serra and Katooni. "Take control of the fleet until reinforcements arrive!" she ordered. "I'm heading down to Earth to help with the ground forces!"
"Got it!" Serra called out.
"You can count on us, Ahsoka," Katooni said. "May the Force be with you."
"Always," Ahsoka said before flying back to the Phoenix Riser, only for it to separate into armor parts. "Wait… what?"
"You've earned this, Ahsoka," a voice said that made Ahsoka smile happily. She turned to see Sonia's Force Spirit. "A little something I would have used during my time as Xion, but I never got around to it. You, on the other hand, will need this to blow everyone out of the water."
"Thanks, Sonia." Ahsoka said.
"Of course, you'll also need me," Sonia said, using the Force to bring the Xiphon into her hand. "Just fly towards my Fighter, and you'll have a power that the Shadow Collective can't possibly match."
"Oh, yeah!" Ahsoka exclaimed. She flew right at the Phoenix Riser, and soon, it formed flight armor on her. She grinned as she rocketed down, her lightsaber activated in one hand and several cannons powering up all over her.
"Way to use the Force!" Sonia cheered before flying after Ahsoka, leaving a trail of blue Force Energy behind her.
On the ground, Artemis was shooting arrows away at the Death Watch Devils alongside her Mother. The two used their jetpacks to fly into the air, where they fired down on several more before Malcolm Merlyn leapt down, the Reverse-Flash and Harley Quinn at his sides.
Artemis and Huntress landed, Kid Flash and Robin joining them.
"Merlyn…" Paula said. "Can't say it's a pleasure to see you again, considering what you've done."
"I'd say you look good, but I'd be lying as well." Malcolm Merlyn spat back.
"Please don't flirt right now," Artemis said as she loaded up the firearms on her split bows. "Let's get down to business already."
"For once, I agree," Robin said. "You lot have crossed the line when you attacked the Earth."
"You won't get away with this." Kid Flash added on.
"We'll see," Eobard Thawne said before he started to vibrate himself. "Try and catch me, Wally." He remarked before running towards the group.
Kid Flash placed his goggles over his eyes and raced forward, starting to clash with the evil speedster from the 25th Century. As soon as the two beings harnessing the Speed Force clashed, Artemis opened fire on Malcolm Merlyn. Merlyn ducked and started to fire back with his arrows while Harley tossed her hammer at Robin and Paula.
"Look out!" Robin called out, tossing several birdarangs towards the Hammer.
Paula gasped before she noticed Gar Saxon flying forward. She pressed the side of her head and allowed her visor to appear over her face before she flew up, firing away at him and his squad.
Robin continued to counter Harley's hammer until it came back to her. The Boy Wonder narrowed his eyes at her before taking out his bola sticks. A Birdarang attached itself onto both sticks before extending into blades. Robin spun them around before charging towards Harley, who took out her gun. As she fired at him, he placed both of his Birdarang Swords together, forming a sword staff, and deflected the bullets before eventually slashing the gun apart. Harley growled and slammed her hammer at the Boy Wonder, splitting his staff apart. He twirled around both of his swords before slashing back at her while Miss Martian continued to fly the Bioship through the sky.
Blackfire laughed as she led the Byakko and several Death Watch Devils to attack Jump City. "This will be a blast!" she exclaimed, raining Blackbolts down onto everyone.
The people of Jump City started to run for cover while several Clone Troopers stationed in Jump City started to fire back.
"You said it!" Dropkick called out before he fired down on the Clone Troopers as well.
From the top of a building, Sudden Death and Galatea started to fire down on everyone. However, their attacks were soon cut short when several dozens of Clone ARC Fighters arrived and fired at them.
"Hey, Oddball," Ahsoka said through the intercom of one of the ARC Fighters. "Save some for us."
"General Tano?" Oddball asked. "Who's with you?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Ahsoka replied as she flew down from the clouds with Sonia beside her. "And you're never gonna believe how I'm arriving!" she exclaimed before rocketing down.
"Wait…" Deathbolt said from the ground. "She can't fly! Can she?"
Blackfire looked up and gasped. "Impossible!" she exclaimed.
Ahsoka flew down and started to fire on the ground forces of the Shadow Collective. As soon as she was done with them, she flew towards one of the Death Watch Devils and pulled out several wires from his jetpack before using her lightsaber to slash away at another. As she was doing this, Sonia drilled through several Death Watch Fighters before Deathbolt fired several blasts at her. However, she spun around and kicked the blasts into oblivion before slamming her Xiphon down, sending out a wave that sent every Shadow Collective Ground Force Soldier into the air. Sonia grinned and leapt up, using Force-Speed to dash through and slash them all apart before Ahsoka fired Galatea away.
Blackfire groaned and flew at Ahsoka. However, a crimson cape flew at her, knocking her out of the air. Everyone looked up to see the cape encircle before Silver Martian formed from it. She launched down a blast of Martian Vision at Blackfire, causing her to fly away.
"Who said you could leave?!" Ultraboy called out as he leapt into the air. He sent a punch towards Blackfire, who managed to punch back and counter his attack.
"Yes!" Ahsoka exclaimed. "The Titans have arrived!"
Kyd Wykkyd appeared from midair and took out two Clone Blasters. He fired down onto the Death Watch Forces before Inertia ran and knocked them into the air, where several falcorangs attached to them before exploding. Falcon grinned before launching more falcorangs at the Mandalorian Fighters, followed by Prowler coming out of the shadows. She launched herself up and fired explosive arrows at more of the Death Watch Devils' Ships, taking them all out.
"Ya'll got nothin' on us, bitches!" Enola called out as she flew down, firing kinetic blasts that destroyed more of the Death Watch Devils on sight.
Several Death Watch Devils on the ground started to run away from the Teen Titans and Clone Troopers as they advanced on them. However, Xanadu manifested herself into Jump City from thin air. The Death Watch Devils, plus Deathbolt, prepared to fire at her, only for her to slam her staff down. The magic wave of energy that dispersed sent them all flying.
"You have the ORDER on your side, Ahsoka!" Falcon called out. "Go help your friends! We've got Jump City!"
"Thanks, Falcon!" Ahsoka called back. She turned around and aimed her blasters at the Byakko. Without a warning, she fired several rockets and missiles, all hitting it and sending it crashing to the ground.
Silver Martian flew down to the wreckage as Ahsoka and Sonia flew away to help with the rest of the battles on Earth. Immediately after they left, Ma'alefa'ak lunged at her, but Silver Martian managed to hold him off while Blood Bane emerged from the water. He ran and slashed at OceanMaster with his Blood-Bearers while Ultraboy flew up to tackle Galatea.
"Allied Forces, this is Ahsoka Tano," Ahsoka said to everyone around the World. "the Teen Titans have Jump City under control," she reported as smiles came onto the faces of the members of the Young Justice and the Neo Young Justice. "I repeat, the ORDER has joined in on the fight, and they have the Shadow Collective running!"
"Yes!" Quinlan Vos called out. He slashed away a Death Watch Devil before several Gunships flew down. "All troops, advance!" he called out.
"Forward!" Bultar Swan called out as well.
The Clone Troopers and Battle Droids cheered and started to advance on the Death Watch Devils while more Republic Reinforcements arrived.
Soon, several Separatist Dropships and Dreadnoughts flew through the Vortex and down to the ground. Droid Fighters started to deploy, helping the Republic and Sylas's ORDER take on more of the Shadow Collective.
Back aboard the Ruination, Anakin and Jessica finished carving a hole through the blast door. Anakin used the Force to throw it off before the two entered, with Artoo following after them, blasting around crazily.
"Fifteenth room, and still no Shield Generator," Anakin mused as Jessica started to scan around. "Either this Ship is bigger than Robin and Ezra said it was, or we're just that unlucky."
"I'm not picking up any signs of the Shield Generator anywhere either," Jessica said. "But if we keep moving closer to the Bridge, we're going to find our hands full."
"Wait, that's it!" Anakin exclaimed. "Maul would expect us to go after the Shield Generator first, then take out any forces on the bridge. So what if he put both in the same place?"
"You've got a point there," Jessica said. "After what I heard happen in the Battle of Lothal, Darth Maul and Lady Shiva are sure to have moved the Shield Generator to where we'd lead expect it to be!"
Artoo beeped, causing Anakin and Jessica to turn to him.
"You've hacked into the Blast Doors?" Anakin asked. "Great work, buddy!"
R2-D2 beeped happily before the Blast Doors opened, revealing several Death Watch Devils around them, all running to the Hangar Bay. The three looked to each other nervously and slowly moved backwards, all without gaining the attention of the troops about to blast them away.
"Something tells me this isn't the traveling company of Riverdance." Jessica mused as she, Anakin and R2 hid in the entrance to the hallway behind them.
As soon as the doors closed, the three sighed and turned around. Much to their horror, a female Death Watch Devil and a male Death Watch Devil were heard chuckling to each other in the next room nearby. The two looked to each other, their faces full of disgust, before quickly moving past the room.
"You've seen Riverdance?" Anakin whispered.
"Trust me, my time on Earth has been educational in so many ways!" Jessica whispered back before R2-D2 beeped quietly. "No, I won't get you a ticket! If a Droid wants to get rights on Earth, they'll do it themselves!"
R2-D2 beeped once again.
"Whoa!" Anakin exclaimed with his eyes wide. "Language, buddy!"
"Okay, I'll get you tickets!" Jessica added on. "Just never use those words again!"
Artoo just beeped mischievously.
"That is not a burn! That is a major offense!" Anakin remarked.
Back on Earth, Depa Billaba landed her Jedi Starfighter in Iraq, where several soldiers were firing away at the Death Watch Devils with their own weapons. She continued to fire on the enemy forces before detaching and forming her Jedi Cycle. The wings of her Jedi Starfighter flew up and blasted down at the Mandalorian Dropships and Fighters while she fired away at the Death Watch Forces on the ground. She continued to fire before ejecting and activating her lightsaber.
The Death Watch Devils looked up and fired at Depa Billaba, but she twirled around, sending every blast back at the snipers before Commander Grey ran in with the rest of his squad, firing at the rest of the Death Watch Devils. As soon as Depa Billaba landed, she slashed through two Death Watch Devil Commandos before sending two punches at the chest of another. With the single Mandalorian weakened, she spun around and kicked her to the side before sensing an attack. She ducked low to avoid two red lightsabers getting thrown at her. Afterwards, she performed a barrel roll to the side and landed on the ground, spinning around to dismember several Death Watch Devils surrounding her. She narrowed her eyes to see N-K Necrosis standing with his arms outstretched. He cackled and caught his lightsabers.
"Rematch, Nick?" Depa asked, getting back up as she stood ready with a Soresu Stance.
"I've been waiting to finish what Grievous started, Jedi!" N-K Necrosis spat as he held his two red lightsabers ready.
Depa continued to hold her ground, staring N-K Necrosis down. As she did, she noticed something before readjusting her stance to prepare for an Ataru attack.
"Hope you saved that speech," Depa remarked before aiming her lightsaber at Komari Vosa, who had just landed not too far away from N-K Necrosis. "He will not be happy to know that there's another Kaleesh who kills Jedi for a living."
"What?!" N-K Necrosis exclaimed. He turned around and saw General Grievous, slashing away at several Death Watch Devils.
"Gah!" General Grievous roared before grabbing the head of a Death Watch Commando. "Give me your face!" he yelled, clawing off the face of the Commando before tossing him aside. He growled again before seeing N-K Necrosis. "So, you are the abomination who infiltrated the Separatist Alliance?" he asked before reactivating his dual sabers. "The next time Darth Maul gets the idea to create another Kaleesh Warrior, he had better find a more suitable candidate!"
"I have heard much about you as well, Qymaen jai Sheelal," N-K Necrosis spat, aiming his two red lightsabers at General Grievous. "A disgrace to his people! It will be an honor to kill you in the name of the Sith!"
"You were trained by Darth Maul," General Grievous spat before splitting his arms apart. "I have been trained in every form… by Count Dooku!" he remarked, activating his four lightsabers.
"Come and get some!" N-K Necrosis spat, charging at General Grievous.
General Grievous laughed and spun his lightsabers around as he charged towards N-K Necrosis in return.
"Anything to say, Master Billaba?" Komari Vosa asked as she twirled around her lightsabers.
"Only that this Planet will never fall to the Sith," Depa Billaba replied. She sent Komari Vosa a salute with her lightsaber. "Let us begin."
Komari Vosa chuckled and saluted back. As soon as she did, she ran towards Depa Billaba, who held up her lightsaber in defense.
"It's our way or the way to Hell!" Komari Vosa exclaimed before spinning around and utilizing Niman while Depa used a variant of Soresu.
"Then I'll take the high way!" Depa spat as she slashed back. She spun around and avoided every Niman attack sent at her before kicking off of Komari Vosa's chest. As the fallen Apprentice of Count Dooku was sent back, Depa slashed at the ground, forcing her back even more.
In Paris, Quinlan Vos was punching away at a Death Watch Devil before he activated his lightsaber, locking blades with a Shadow Trooper. He grabbed his lightsaber and slashed away at him before tossing it into the head of another. He placed his lightsaber behind him afterwards, blocking an attack before Green Fire flew down and sent forth blasts at more of the Death Watch Devils.
"Come on!" Blue Devil called out as he stabbed two Shadow Troopers in the chest. Behind him, Bultar Swan used Shii-Cho against several Death Watch Devils before slashing away seven Shadow Troopers. As soon as she did, she lifted several of the Shadow Collective forces into the air and tossed them aside.
"Most interesting…" Supreme Chancellor Palpatine mused as he watched the chaos unfold.
All of a sudden, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine sensed something. He quickly pulled his hood over his head and reached his hands out, summoning his lightsabers. Now as Darth Sidious, he turned around to face his opponent.
Lady Shiva chuckled before she emerged from the room above. "You know, I was looking for the Supreme Chancellor, but I think I've come across something even better," she mused. "The Killer of my Master's Brother, the so-called Sith Lord who discarded his strongest Apprentice… Darth Sidious."
"You are who they call Lady Shiva," Darth Sidious said as he and Lady Shiva circled each other. "Suffice it to say that the Supreme Chancellor has already taken shelter elsewhere, so it looks as if we are both too late. This Alliance has always bothered me anyway."
"Oh, I'm going to enjoy this!" Lady Shiva said with a cackle. She activated her Shadow Saber in her right hand while activating one of her Double-Bladed Spinning Lightsabers in her left. "Such a victory shall be great for the DarkSiders."
Darth Sidious chuckled before activating both of his lightsabers. He spun around and slashed at Lady Shiva, who used her Double-Bladed Spinning Lightsaber as a shield to defend herself. She backed away from his attack before slashing at him with her Shadow Saber. Darth Sidious snarled as he held up his lightsaber, fending off against the attack before slashing back with his other lightsaber. Lady Shiva held her red blade in defense before spinning it back at him, forcing him backwards.
"You have… exceptional skills," Darth Sidious said. "But it will not be enough to save you, my dear."
"Once I avenge late Master Opress, no one will stand in our way of the conquest in the name of the Dark Side!" Lady Shiva snapped back before sending forth a blast of Sith Lightning.
Darth Sidious roared as he sent back his own Blast of Sith Lightning. Both blasts collided with each other in midair before Lady Shiva ceased her attack. Darth Sidious smirked and continued to press on, only for Lady Shiva to activate her second Double-Bladed Spinning Lightsaber. She ran forward, using both of her red blades to press through before she eventually got close enough to him. The Dark Lord of the Sith gasped before Lady Shiva kicked him in the chest. As she spun in the air, she kicked him again, this time sending him flying back.
As Darth Maul was making his way to Happy Harbor, he started to sense his Master. He narrowed his eyes before gasping in surprise. He flew towards the High School while clenching his fist.
"I warned you, Sidious," Lady Shiva said as her lightsabers spun around in the air while she scraped her Shadow Saber along the ground. "I would have waited an eternity for this moment. It's over."
"Lady Shiva, stand down!" Darth Maul called out over Lady Shiva's Comms as Darth Sidious started to pant angrily. "The pleasure of defeating Darth Sidious is not for now. Return to the RUINATION," he ordered. "It is time to initiate the next phase of our plan. Now do as I say and SPARE Darth Sidious."
Darth Sidious used the Force to pull Lady Shiva towards him, his lightsabers aimed outwards. However, she unleashed a Force Repulse and broke free as he ran at her.
"Count yourself lucky, Sidious!" Lady Shiva called out before stabbing her Shadow Saber into the ground. "I've got other places to be!"
Darth Sidious roared and slashed down, only for Lady Shiva to disappear into the shadow. He growled before bringing up a hologram of Count Dooku.
"Lord Tyranus," Darth Sidious started out as the room went dark. "Cloak your fleet when you enter the Vortex. Engage all cannons to fire on the Ruination once the Shields go down."
"Yes, my Master." Count Dooku said with a bow before signing off.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven incanted back in England, taking out several Death Watch Devils, leaving only their helmets behind.
Vibe sent forth a Sonic Force Blast at the Shadow Troopers before tossing his lightsaber at several more Death Watch Devils. As he leapt back from more attacks, the Natural sent forth a blast of fire from his sword towards several Shadow Troopers before ramming a Death Watch Devil in the head with his shield.
"Who's next?!" Cisco called out.
"Bring it on!" Raiden yelled.
Elsewhere, as Eeth Koth led more troops in Russia, General Zod was firing down at more Clone Troopers. All of them scattered before the Bioship flew in, with several ARC Fighters behind it to fire down at Zod and his forces.
"Keep firing!" Connor called out to Miss Martian as he and Aqualad readied themselves. "We're going down!"
"Good luck!" Miss Martian called out. "Airborne Squadron, stay on me! We take out as many Fighters as we can on the way back to Happy Harbor!"
"Hold it, Miss M!" Sonia called out as she flew down. "I'm heading there too!"
"Thanks!" Miss Martian replied before Superboy and Aqualad leapt down. "May the Force be with you all!" she called out before flying back.
General Zod looked up before Superboy tackled him. The two Kryptonians rolled along the ground, sending punches at one another before Aqualad landed, using the water around him to trap several Death Watch Devils in place, allowing the Clone Troopers to fire down at them.
"Keep it going!" Aqualad called out. He formed his swords from his Water-Bearers and slashed at more Death Watch Devils before placing them together, forming a large blade. He spun around and took out seven Fighters in the air before the water around him started to float. He narrowed his eyes before seeing Siren sail in from the ocean. She twirled around and landed, drawing out her swords.
"Hello, Kaldur'ahm," Hila said as Aqualad stabbed a Death Watch Devil in the chest before tossing him aside. "How has your Queen been? Does she miss her old friend from Xebel?"
"You know what you did, Siren," Kaldur remarked as he readied his swords. "Do not think you have a place in Atlantis anymore."
"Oh, I've moved on from Atlantis," Siren said before her mouth plate folded over her mouth. "Now I'm with the Shadow Collective, and we shall make everything burn!" she yelled before she and Aqualad charged at each other.
Aqualad and Siren both yelled, slamming their weapons at each other. The two stared each other down before backing away. Siren leapt down at Aqualad, slamming her trident sword at him, only to block it before spinning at her with his blades. She spun back, blocking all of his attacks, before they eventually locked swords with one another.
"You should not have come back." Aqualad said sternly.
Siren just laughed before she kicked Aqualad away, sending several frozen water shards at him. He sheathed his swords and started to absorb the water into his Water-Bearers before slashing them back. However, Siren sent more at him, causing him to punch each shard to the side before forming a mace and a hammer. He used more of the water to solidify his weapons before slamming at Siren again, giving her a scar. She roared and charged at him again, both letting out battle cries.
From the top of the Happy Harbor High School, Darth Maul landed the Scimitar. He walked out calmly, his speeder bike, the Bloodfin, hovering next to him. He looked down, seeing Obi-Wan and Mace Windu with EmJay fighting off against several Death Watch Devils while Miss Martian returned, firing down more Dropships. More of the Young Justice were fighting the battle as well, until he noticed that some individuals were missing.
"Where are the Crusaders?" Darth Maul asked himself.
At that moment, Revali flew over, firing two explosive plasma arrows at Darth Maul. The Son of Dathomir turned around as the Scimitar flew off before riding off on the Bloodfin. He landed on the ground, only to be confronted by Urbossa. He leapt off and backflipped away as Daruk attempted to slash at him with his heavy claymore before activating one side of his Double-Bladed Lightsaber. He turned around and slashed just as Mipha slashed at him. He broke off and backed away, twirling his lightsaber around as all of the Crusaders surrounded him.
"Darth Maul… at last." Daruk said.
"You will pay for your actions against the Galaxies… and for the death of Azreal Cruzsek." Revali said sternly.
"You greatly underestimate my power, Crusaders," Darth Maul said. "And that will be your downfall."
"Don't move!" Urbossa ordered.
"Take him!" Mipha ordered before several Clone Troopers under her command ran over and fired on the Zabrak Sith.
Darth Maul turned and started to deflect every blast. Each one was sent back at the Clone Troopers before Revali flew in, firing more arrows at him. Darth Maul continued to deflect the shots before he and Revali struck each other. As soon as Revali flew past, he fell to the ground, his chest burning.
"No!" Daruk called out. He lunged at Darth Maul, slamming his claymore at him. Darth Maul leapt back, clashing with him briefly before Daruk knocked him back. He ran at him for another attack, but Darth Maul tossed his lightsaber at Daruk, impaling him in the chest.
The moment Darth Maul regained his lightsaber, Mipha and Urbossa slashed at him. He held up his lightsaber and slashed back in defense using Makashi before locking blades with Mipha.
"You shall fall like your Crusaders!" Darth Maul called out.
"Now!" Mipha called out.
Urbossa tossed her shield at Darth Maul, knocking him off-balance, before snapping her fingers. Lightning rained onto the Sith, but he used his lightsaber to send it at the two remaining Crusaders with a loud ferocious growl. Moth Urbossa and Mipha yelled as they were sent to the ground.
"Don't… count us out… just yet." Revali said before charging at Darth Maul with a Cortosis Blade.
Darth Maul slashed at Revali, disarming him of his weapon easily, before slashing at his wings. Revali yelled and fell to the ground right as Daruk got back up, the wound in his chest revealed to have been protected by his force fields. He slammed at Darth Maul, who succeeded in severing one of his legs before slashing at Mipha's fin, causing her to fall.
"My turn!" Urbossa called out.
Darth Maul slashed at Urbossa, who held up her shield before slashing back. The Son of Dathomir placed his lightsaber in defense before the two slashed right at each other.
In a few seconds, Urbossa fell to the ground, losing her left arm.
Padmé fought off against several Shadow Troopers and Death Watch Devils from afar, protecting Sarah, James and Henri. As the three backed away to safety, Henri noticed what was going on with the Crusaders.
"Look!" Henri called out. "It's Darth Maul!"
Obi-Wan led EmJay and Mace Windu to the scene, taking out the rest of the Shadow Troopers before Padmé impaled the last Shadow Trooper. They all turned to see Darth Maul approaching the fallen Urbossa.
"Chancellor, you must leave now!" Obi-Wan said. "We can't risk your capture or death at Maul's hands!"
"I understand," Padmé said before guiding James, Sarah and Henri away. "Come on!"
"Wait until the World hears about this!" James exclaimed excitedly.
"I admit, you all fought well," Darth Maul said. "But… there is more to the battle than my death. You are too worthy to kill myself… so be grateful that I have spared you."
"Maul!" Obi-Wan called out.
Darth Maul growled and turned, seeing EmJay run towards him with Obi-Wan. He spun his lightsaber around and fended off against their tandem attacks before holding up his blades. He kicked the two back, only to find himself locked with Mace Windu as soon as he lowered his weapon.
"So, three Jedi against a Sith Lord?" Darth Maul asked. "How desperate are you to defeat me?"
"Your Shadow Collective has taken over many Planets, killed thousands, and your Apprentice has even killed a Green Lantern here," Mace Windu said before he, EmJay and Obi-Wan Force-Pushed him back. "You have made us very desperate."
"Give it up, Maul," EmJay said. "You don't stand a chance against all of us combined alone."
"Everyone asks me to simply surrender… have you not listened to what I just told the Crusaders?!" Darth Maul asked with a little disbelief. "Do not underestimate my power!"
"You'd better not underestimate Ahsoka Tano either." Obi-Wan spat.
From the ground, the Young Justice and the Neo Young Justice continued to fight against the Shadow Collective. However, everyone noticed the sound of thrusters firing before seeing Ahsoka kick off of the top of a building before flying down, still with her Phoenix Riser Armor.
"Lady Tano… at last." Darth Maul hissed. He ran past Obi-Wan, Mace Windu and EmJay, getting onto the Bloodfin again to ride to his army.
"All forces, Darth Maul is heading your way!" EmJay called out.
"Get ready to take him on!" Mace Windu called out.
Obi-Wan ran to the Crusaders. "Are you all alright?" he asked.
"We're bruised… but we'll live." Daruk said.
"You need medical attention," Obi-Wan said before placing his hand to his head. "We need a Clone Medical Carrier at the Happy Harbor High School now!"
Ahsoka flew down as the Young Justice, Neo Young Justice and Clone Troopers continued to fire. She let out a yell as she stabbed one Death Watch Devil in the chest before using her wing blades to slash at two more. She fired at another before spinning around, slamming her lightsaber at another Death Watch Devil. She approached more of the Shadow Collective forces and took them out as well, from slashing them down to shooting them away. She soon approached where several Shadow Collective Tanks were set up and disengaged from her armor, allowing the Phoenix Riser to fire on ten of the tanks before slashing through another.
"No more!" Ahsoka called out, using the Force to take control of the turrets. She spun around and tossed them everywhere randomly, causing explosions that took out mostly all of the Shadow Collective Forces, leaving only a few Death Watch Devils and the Legion of Doom members standing.
Rocket looked to Ahsoka with amazement before turning to the Phoenix Riser. She looked up before looking back down to Ahsoka as Zatanna did the same motions beside her, only more slowly.
"Why you around the World this whole time?!" Rocket asked.
"I have been waiting to destroy you once and for all, Tano!" Darth Maul called out.
"Maul!" Ahsoka snarled.
Darth Maul halted the Bloodfin and leapt off, stabbing his lightsaber into the side of a building to break his fall. He yelled as he landed on the ground, saluting to Ahsoka.
"You shall not interfere with my invasion!" Darth Maul yelled.
Ahsoka spun around her lightsaber before taking out her first green lightsaber. She activated it and held both ready in Reverse-Shien Grips. She sent a salute to Darth Maul before the two charged at each other.
Darth Maul roared and slashed down at Ahsoka first with Vaapad, forcing her to hold up her lightsabers in defense. She broke off with him and slashed him away as the battles around them continued.
"You won't get away with it this time!" Ahsoka called out. "You and the Ruination will go down just like you did before!"
"Don't toy with me, Lady Tano!" Darth Maul snarled as he and Ahsoka stared each other down.
Obi-Wan, EmJay and Mace Windu leapt in, all their lightsabers activated, before the rest of the Young Justice members not fighting their Legion of Doom counterparts joined in. Darth Maul looked around before he and Ahsoka broke off again. After a while of a standoff, they charged at each other once more, with the Jedi running in to help.
Back in Iraq, N-K Necrosis backed away, part of him sparking from damage he took. He looked back to General Grievous and slashed at him just as he brought his four lightsabers down. N-K Necrosis yelled and pushed General Grievous off before tossing his lightsabers at him. However, the original Kaleesh Warlord sent the lightsabers back.
"Don't think you're more superior than me!" N-K Necrosis spat. "You may have had more training, but you disgraced yourself for power while I keep our true nature alive with the Dark Side!"
"Do not try and pity me!" General Grievous yelled. He spun his lightsabers at N-K Necrosis again, who slashed back with the same hyper attack pattern. The two locked blades so fast that it would have taken a speedster to see how each clash was going.
Komari Vosa slashed at Depa, who blocked her attack with her lightsaber in her left hand before kicking her away. She threw her lightsaber back into her right hand before spinning around and slashing away at her with Shii-Cho.
As everyone was fighting, Kid Flash and the Reverse-Flash raced through from the ocean. Thawne sent a kick towards Wally, but he spun around and fell him to the ground. However, the Reverse-Flash used his speed to regain himself before sending forth an uppercut punch. Wally was thrown in the air, but he created tornados with his arms, managing to land on the side of a building. He caught a piece of falling debris and threw it at the Reverse-Flash, who shattered it with a vibrating fist. The two continued to run before time resumed, everyone continuing to fight while some of the forces from both sides were taken out immediately by the quick-falling debris.
Katana slashed down two Death Watch Devils with her Shadow Saber and Soultaker Swords before Hiro took down some more with his own lightsaber. Several Death Watch Devils fired on them, but Katana deflected the blasts while Hiro tossed his lightsaber forward, taking out the Death Watch Devils before Novastar flew down and fired, taking out more of them.
Halo flew down, sending several blasts at the Death Watch Devils while Naare fought off against twenty Shadow Troopers and counting. She locked blades with one of them before grabbing the lightsaber of another. She spun around, taking out more of the Dark Jedi surrounding her before activating the blades on her boots. She kicked at each Shadow Trooper in the face before slicing off the heads of seven more. As soon as she landed, she tossed her stolen lightsaber forward, causing the Shadow Troopers to lose their heads.
Stargirl flew down in Washington, taking out several Mandalorian Fighters, while DeltaRay slashed most of them away. Kid Devil slashed more away with his spear before several Clone Troopers fired on the rest of the Death Watch Devils, with the ARC Fighters hot on the tails of the Mandalorian Fighters in the skies. Stingray yelled as he flew down, slashing at more of the Shadow Troopers with his Water-Bearer before slamming his hover board down, causing several Shadow Collective Tanks to explode.
In Russia, Sonia walked towards the Death Watch Devils, disintegrating them with single slashes from her Xiphon. She spun around and tossed her lightsaber at more of the Shadow Collective Forces before slashing down a Shadow Trooper about to take Eeth Koth by surprise.
"Thank you, Sonia." Eeth Koth said.
"Glad to help." Sonia said before jumping into the air. She tossed her Xiphon down towards a squadron of Death Watch Devils, taking them all down the moment her lightsaber hit the ground. As soon as she landed, she spun around, causing her Xiphon to fly around as well. As she did, more Death Watch Devils and Shadow Troopers fell before she caught her lightsaber again, killing seventeen more behind her.
Beast Boy leapt at two Death Watch Devils as a Tiger, mauling at them, before seven surrounded him. He leapt up and turned into an octopus, swatting them all away. As he leapt down, Vixen charged in with the power of a cheetah, speeding around and disarming several Shadow Troopers before activating two of their lightsabers. She spun around, slashing off the heads of four Death Watch Devils before impaling the Shadow Troopers by tossing the two lightsabers into their chests. She leapt up with the power of a kangaroo, avoiding several blasts, before slamming down with the strength of a rhino, sending the Death Watch Devils and Shadow Troopers in the air, where Cyborg fired away at them.
Saga slashed away at several Shadow Troopers while a distance away from him, Kole was trapping Death Watch Devils in her crystals. She trapped three about to use a grenade launcher on her before stabbing another in the chest. As she spun around, Rocket II flew in the air, fighting off against Kinetica with the original Rocket. The two fired strong blasts at Bina and Apurna, but they formed a shield. Both Raquel and Darnice landed, firing at Kinetica from the ground. She flew around, avoiding their blasts, before Rocket eventually flew at her, slashing her down with her sword before Darnice trapped them within one of her energy bubbles, which was strengthened by Raquel soon afterwards.
"That should hold you." Raquel said while panting heavily.
"How long does this have to go on?" Darnice asked. "The Legion of Doom and the Shadow Collective are everywhere!"
"If Ahsoka can take down Maul back in Happy Harbor, the Shadow Collective will have to leave," Raquel said. "But for now, we need to hold them off as best as we can!" she called out before Kinetica freed herself.
"You're gonna die for that." Kinetica spat before firing an energy blast at Raquel and Darnice.
Both Rockets gasped and formed shields, preventing themselves from getting blasted away. The two soon broke free and fired back at Kinetica, sending her right into the ground and not ceasing their attack until she reverted back into bin and Apurna Churney.
In Central City, as Batgirl fended off against several Shadow Troopers with her batarang blade, Ravager was in a gunfight with several Death Watch Devils. She spun around to avoid their shots before flipping a manhole up from the ground. The manhole temporarily sent the blasts back before she leapt up with her swords, slashing away at them.
"Come on!" Jesse Quick called out as she raced towards several Death Watch Devils. She sent quick jabs at the chests of two of them before spinning around, pinning another to the ground with her foot. She twirled out of the way of some more blasts before Firestorm blasted down the rest.
"They're everywhere, Professor!" Ronnie called out as he flew through Central City. "Any suggestions? Maybe blasting them isn't the best idea all the time."
"Then don't let them hit you." Professor Stein's voice said to Ronnie Raymond.
"You're not helping exactly, Professor." Ronnie replied as he evaded several surprise attacks from some Shadow Troopers.
"Transmutation, Raymond," Martin Stein replied. "Remember how to use it, and utilize it to take out their weapons."
"Now you're speaking my language!" Ronnie exclaimed. He flew at the Death Watch Devils firing at him before Hawk and Dove took out a tank nearby. He held his hand out, turning each of the blasters to water. With that done, he flew over and fired down on them, causing them to run.
Terra slammed her hands down, causing rocks to either impale or send her enemies into the air. She felt something in the ground and sent rocks to the side, right after Kid Flash raced through. The Reverse-Flash was immediately hit with the stones before Jesse Quick raced over, felling him to the ground.
"Had enough, Thawne?" Wally asked.
The Reverse-Flash chuckled as he got back up. "I know when I'm beat," he said before the Neo Young Justice surrounded him. "You'll be seeing me around, Kid Flash." He remarked before running off.
"How is Central City?" Kid Flash asked, only to see several Death Watch Devils running away from Hawk, Dove and Metamorpho. "I see you're in good hands," he quickly said. "Now I gotta head back before Maul mauls Ahsoka!" he exclaimed before running off.
Ahsoka spun her lightsabers around and blocked several Vaapad strikes from Darth Maul. She held her ground before firing back at him with her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlets. As the two strafed each other, several Death Watch ships started to fire down from above, causing Ahsoka to deflect their blasts while shooting back.
"Get him!" Shado called out as she, Robyn, Argent, V and Vigilante ran at Darth Maul, with the rest of the Young Justice and Neo Young Justice, as well as Obi-Wan and Mace Windu, to charge at him.
Darth Maul roared as he locked blades with Obi-Wan. He broke off and slashed at Mace Windu, kicking him away, before stabbing at Zatanna, who held up her sword in defense before focusing her attack on Felix Faust.
"Erif nrub nordluac elbbub!" Zatanna incanted, sending forth a fire blast towards Felix Faust before Robin slashed him away. She smiled at her boyfriend before Harley Quinn slammed her hammer down onto him.
"Don't think you can get away from me that easily, Birdie!" Harley Quinn roared.
"Forget about him!" Malcolm Merlyn yelled as he ran from several blasts and arrow shots from Artemis and Paula. "Protect Lord Maul!"
Saw and Lux ran and slashed at Darth Maul, who knocked them away before Jaybo fired a rocket at him.
"Please tell me you got him!" Saw called out.
"I'm hoping so…" Jaybo said as he lowered his weapon.
Darth Maul roared as he emerged from the shadows.
"Keep pressing on!" Lux called out, shooting at Darth Maul with his Blaster.
Darth Maul deflected the shots before EmJay slammed at him from above. Unfortunately, Darth Maul sent her away before he was frozen in place by Katie.
"Now!" Katie called out.
Robyn leapt down and slashed at Darth Maul, who managed to get free as he locked blades with her Birdarang Axe. V ran and slashed at him from behind, causing him to groan before spinning around to slash at him. V held his ground before Shado and Vigilante started to fire, with Argent firing down at him from above. Darth Maul simply leapt back and avoided each attack before slashing at several Clone Troopers as they fired at him.
"Let him have it!" Captain Rex called out as he, Fives and Echo tossed grenades at Darth Maul while Commander Cody fired at him.
Darth Maul used the Force to stop the grenades before sending them to the side. He twirled out of the way of Cody's blasts before Ahsoka rammed her lightsabers at him, causing him to turn around to face her.
"Wait a minute…" Ahsoka said, looking around. "Where's Lady Shiva?"
"If you thought taking down the Ruination would be an easy feat, you had better think again!" Darth Maul snarled as he pushed Ahsoka off. She narrowed her eyes as she adjusted her lightsabers again. "My Apprentice has been called back… to deal with your friend and Master."
"Katooni, Barriss, push on!" Serra called back in space as the three flew towards the Ruination. They all launched torpedoes at it, causing it to shake and a little bit of the Ship to explode.
"Wait, did you see that?" Katooni asked as Starfire and Supergirl joined her. "The Shield went off, just for a brief moment!"
"Keep pressing on!" Barriss ordered.
Inside, R2-D2 was rolling away from a room full of Death Watch Devils, all piled up on top of each other and groaning weakly. Anakin and Jessica could only look to him with astonishment before he closed the door and sent them down the elevator.
"Remind me to never get on your bad side again." Anakin said.
"That… was awesome!" Jessica exclaimed. Her Ring suddenly started to glow. "Jessica Cruz of Sector 2814 here. Who's calling?"
"I hope we didn't miss out too much on the party." Kyle Rayner said.
"Kyle!" Jessica exclaimed.
"Kyle?! You're back!" Starfire exclaimed as she noticed several green lights flying in next to the Vortex. "With the League down, we could use some extra help!"
"Don't worry, we've got this," Hal Jordan said before looking to Jon Stewart and Guy Gardner. "Let's show the Ruination just what we can do."
"We're almost at the bridge!" Anakin called out as Artoo accessed a door. "The shields are weak for now, but once we get them down, you're good to go!"
"Oh, I think not, my friends."
Anakin and Jessica gasped, seeing Lady Shiva standing in the doorway. She looked up and grinned.
"Shiva!" Jessica exclaimed.
"You're right about the Shield Generator, Skywalker," Lady Shiva spat. "But you'll have to get through me first."
"I'll handle this," Jessica said as she placed her hand on the gem in her forehead. Her mouth plate appeared as she activated her Royal Saber and readied her shield. "I'll be right behind you."
"Okay, fair enough," Lady Shiva said, pressing the gem on her forehead as well. As soon as her mouth plate appeared, she activated her Shadow Saber, her scabbard in her other hand. "Time to settle this."
"You're sure?" Anakin asked.
"Just get those shields down," Jessica said as she turned to Anakin. "This is personal for me."
"I'll let you go because of that, General Skywalker," Lady Shiva said. "Accept it and go. Otherwise, I'll get you and your little Droid too."
Artoo beeped nervously.
"So do I, R2," Anakin said as he walked off. "May the Force be with you, Jessica!" he called out before running past Lady Shiva.
"Isn't this quaint?" Lady Shiva asked. "When I left you, you left a scar on me. Now, I shall complete the circle and kill you like I should have all those years ago. I am the Master of the Shadows."
"You're only a Master of Evil, Lady Shiva!" Jessica spat before she shot several blasts from her shield at Lady Shiva before running at her.
Lady Shiva spun around her scabbard, deflecting the blasts, before charging back at Jessica. The two yelled as they leapt at each other, blades locking immediately upon contact. They spun around in the air before landing on the ground, scabbard slammed against shield. As soon as they locked, they spun around and started to attack each other with their lightsabers once again, Jessica using a reverse-grip while Lady Shiva fought with Vaapad. She yelled and sent a wave of Sith Lightning towards Jessica, but she held up her Royal Saber and sent the blast to the side before forming several spike constructs from the ground. Lady Shiva ran through them and slashed the other spikes apart before landing her Shadow Saber onto Jessica again, who placed her Royal Saber back in a normal grip before slashing back.
Ahsoka held up her two lightsabers as Darth Maul slashed at her rapidly. She kept her eyes narrowed at him before she stood on one foot, slashing down at one of his legs. She landed her foot down and kicked him in the leg she slashed at before spinning around, slamming her green lightsaber onto his Double-Bladed Lightsaber.
"Your skills have improved, Tano," Darth Maul said. "But it will not save you."
"We shall see." Ahsoka spat before sweeping her leg under Darth Maul, felling him to the ground. She slashed at him, but he regained himself quickly before tossing her lightsaber at him, prompting her to toss her lightsaber back.
Both the red and green lightsabers scraped each other before Ahsoka and Maul held their hands out, Ahsoka taking Maul's Double-Bladed Lightsaber while Maul took possession of her first lightsaber. The two charged at each other, Maul using Soresu while Ahsoka utilized Shien.
Ahsoka backed away, using both of her lightsabers to fend off against Darth Maul. He yelled with each savage slash he made before slashing at her in the knee. Ahsoka yelled before falling to the ground. As she did, Darth Maul raised his saber up.
"This is your end!" Darth Maul called out, slamming his lightsaber down.
Ahsoka looked up and narrowed her eyes. Deactivating her lightsabers, she held her hand out, just as the blade made impact.
Back aboard the Ruination Anakin was deflecting shots from Rook Kast and several Death Watch Devils on the Bridge. As he did, he sent a blast back to one of them before grabbing the blaster. He shot forward, taking out seven of the Devils before several more ran in to attack.
"Artoo, now!" Anakin called out.
R2-D2 screamed as he crashed through the room piloting the LothHawk. Unleashing massive blasts and missiles, all of the Death Watch Devils went running, save for Rook Kast, who took out a stave. She ran at Anakin and slammed her weapon onto him, but he broke off and shot her away before making his way towards the Shield Generator, hidden right behind Darth Maul's throne.
"Stay back, Jedi!" Rook Kast called out.
"I don't think so," Anakin said before he sent two cross slashes at the Shield Generator, only for it to have no effect. "Well, in that case…" he said before whistling. "Plan B!"
R2-D2 launched all the weapons at the Shield Generator, with Anakin sending a SokaTan Slash at it at the same time. As soon as both attacks made impact, it exploded.
"Shields are down!" Anakin called out. "Everyone, move in!"
Meanwhile, Jessica flew back as Lady Shiva flew at her, the two continuing to clash. Jessica held her ground against her, her Royal Saber locked against her Shadow Saber. The two soon landed, Lady Shiva now using her Shadow Saber Naginata while Jessica had an axe construct to use with her Royal Saber.
"This is the end!" Lady Shiva called out as she flew at Jessica, her Double-Bladed Spinning Lightsaber out forward.
"Yes. It. Is!" Jessica called back as she flew back at Lady Shiva.
Lady Shiva yelled, slamming her Shadow Saber at Jessica, only for her to use her axe to fend off. She spun around and kicked at her, but Lady Shiva grabbed her foot and tossed her to the side, where Jessica shot at her with her Ring. Lady Shiva gasped as she was sent to the ground before sending a blast of Sith Lightning towards her. However, Jessica formed several shields in front of her, all exploding as soon as the Lightning hit, before she flew forward and slashed at Lady Shiva's left eye, giving her a scar similar to the one she gave her.
Lady Shiva panted. "Go on… you've beaten me," she said as Jessica aimed her Royal Saber at her. "Finish it."
"All those lives you took, all that immersing with the Dark Side… and you are still second-rate, a disgrace!" Jessica yelled. "You may have taken the lives of my Mother and Shyir Rev, but know that their voices will never go away from you, Lady Shiva! This ends now!"
"So it shall…" Lady Shiva said as she looked down, only with a grin on her face as she lit up her left hand. "And you shall fall!"
Jessica and Lady Shiva both yelled as they lashed out at each other. Jessica landed her slash as Lady Shiva shot her left arm up. After a while, the two held their positions. Soon, Lady Shiva fell on her side, her left arm falling off, while part of Jessica's mask fell off.
"You chose this," Jessica said as Lady Shiva got up, activating her Shadow Saber while letting her two Double-Bladed Weapons float beside her now that she lost her arm. "Be grateful I didn't go for the head." She said before flying off.
"We'll meet again, Jessica Cruz!" Lady Shiva snarled before she ran off towards the Bridge.
On the ground, everyone looked to Ahsoka with wonder as she harnessed Tutaminis. She absorbed the blade of the lightsaber into her hand before grabbing the blade and tossing Darth Maul to the side, where Sonia grabbed him before slamming him into the ground.
"This ends here!" Ahsoka called out. She used the Force to regain her lightsaber before activating her blades. As she did, Sonia stabbed her Xiphon down. Ahsoka did the same, the two slashing upwards afterwards before slashing down.
"No…" Darth Maul snarled.
Ahsoka yelled as she sent forth two SokaTan Slashes while Sonia did the same. Both hit Darth Maul and sent him back.
Back in Iraq, Depa Billaba was engaged in a blade lock with Komari Vosa. The two stared each other down before Depa punched both of her hands, getting her to drop her lightsabers. She knocked them away soon afterwards before activating the fallen lightsabers and using all three to slash away at Komari Vosa. She used the Force to fend off, but was soon sent back, her lightsabers falling into the ground blade first behind her.
General Grievous yelled as he and N-K Necrosis narrowed their eyes at each other in their own blade lock. The Kaleesh warlord yelled as he pressed on, disarming N-K Necrosis before slashing his mask into pieces. Now without his mask, N-K Necrosis yelled and attempted to limp away, only for Grievous to sever his legs.
"Tell Maul you still have a lot to learn!" General Grievous yelled before he kicked N-K Necrosis away.
Back in space, Serra, Katooni, Barriss, Supergirl, Starfire and the Squadron watched as the Shields deactivated. The Green Lanterns flew over as Anakin and Jessica flew out.
"Fire!" Anakin ordered from the LothHawk.
Lady Shiva snarled from the Ruination and ran to a panel. She lifted up a button and pressed it.
"Backup Shields and Cannons online!" Lady Shiva called out.
Supergirl unleashed her Heat-Vision while Starfire sent forth several Starbolts. The rest of the Squadron fired as well as the extra offense and defense systems came online.
"For extra measure…" Hal Jordan said as he held his arm out. "In Brightest Day…"
"In Blackest Night…" Jon Stewart went on, charging up his Ring with Hal.
"No Evil Shall Escape My Sight!" Kyle Rayner went on.
"Let those who worship evil's might…" Guy Gardner continued.
"Beware my power…" Jessica went on before every Green Lantern Ring was fully charged.
"GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!"
The Green Lanterns together fired an enormous blast at the Ruination, creating a huge explosion.
On the ground, the Teen Titans stood victorious over the defeated Legion of Doom members. As soon as the explosion went off, they all looked up and cheered with the people of Jump City.
In Happy Harbor, as the Reverse-Flash returned, the Legion of Doom and the rest of the remaining Shadow Collective Forces noticed the explosion, as did Komari Vosa, N-K Necrosis and the Saxon Brothers.
Darth Maul chuckled. "You have won for now," he said before the Reverse-Flash ran and brought all of the Legion of Doom back together. "But… don't expect this to be over. What I have next will destroy you all!" He yelled before Thawne raced them all away.
"Did… did we do it?" Serra asked.
"Did we take down the Ruination this time?" Katooni asked.
Everyone watched as the smoke cleared. Much to their surprise, the Ruination was still floating. While bits of it started to fall, its shields were revealed to still be operational.
"No way!" Jessica exclaimed.
"Damage report!" Lady Shiva ordered as the rest of the Legion of Doom and Darth Maul came onto the Bridge.
"We sustained minimal damage," Rook Kast reported. "But not enough to take us down for good."
"It is enough," Darth Maul said as several Republic and Separatist Cruisers flew towards them. "Make way for the Vortex, all thrusters in reverse. I will not lose my creation again."
All the Republic and Separatist Ships started to fire on the Ruination, Count Dooku watching over it all, before its Sonic Hyperdrive activated, taking them through the Vortex once again.
"Progress?" Vandal Savage asked as the rest of the Light appeared.
"The Ruination has gotten away… but the Earth is safe for now," Count Dooku reported before turning around as the room went dark. "Now that we have seen the strength of their Fusion Cannons up close for ourselves, we can plan countermeasures against them the next time they use the Ruination for an attack."
"And Earth is now ruined," Lex Luthor added on. He turned to Queen Bee. "Expect a LexCorp Shipment by the morning. Your deserts may not be able to be repaired, but at least we can get a start with your country."
"Bialya must not be weak in a time of crisis like this again," Queen Bee said. "Mark my words, that ignorant Sith will not live to see the day again when I confront him personally next time."
"All in due time, Zazzala," Count Dooku said. "But we must not act irrationally. This alliance with the Republic must hold, else they get their hands on Maul instead of us."
"Indeed, Lord Tyranus," Darth Sidious said as he walked into the meeting in his holographic form. "I must admit that I had my doubts about this alliance with the Republic at first… but the Young Justice on the front lines, we shall take down Maul."
"You express… interest in the Sith?" the Brain asked curiously.
"And you say I'M mad!" Klarion mused.
"I will not lie when I see a hint of greatness in Darth Maul," Darth Sidious said. "Despite having taken away his Apprentice… his BROTHER, he has managed to amass an army, take on two Apprentices, and above all, force us to join forces with the Republic, the Jedi and the League. No one has ever found such resolve in the ongoing fight against the Dark Side. It is the Will of the Force that these events unfold before us."
"Are you certain, my Master?" Count Dooku asked.
"Yes, my Apprentice," Darth Sidious replied back. "But although Maul may be a formidable opponent, but he, his Shadow Collective and his Legion of Doom… must FALL."
Back in Happy Harbor, the rest of the Neo Young Justice, the Jedi and the Allied Forces gathered together, the Green Lanterns helping to tend to the defeated League Members.

"Yes… we did," Jessica said as she looked to the Green Lanterns. "For Earth!" she called out, firing into the air.
"FOR EARTH!"
