Welcome back to The Injustice Wars! Last time, the Republic and Legion made their plan to meet up, each debating the merits of the decision to team up. And while Belial Aether and Vandal Savage discussed their shared romantic history with Cleopatra, another princess arrived, the Princess of Tamaran, Starfire. So, what awaits next? Read on to discover...
(Our story resumes back in Legion HQ, where Blaze, Flash, Red Hood, Vixen, and Jay Garrick are going over the plans for what's going to happen next once their mission within the Republic begins)
Blaze: Okay everyone, here's the plan. We'll be meeting with the Republic in three hours to set you three in with them.
Vixen: About time we see some action.
Red Hood: Took the words right out of my mouth, Mari.
Blaze: From there, you will report back to us on a semi regular basis until we het the gist of trusting them. At that point, we will decide what to do about continued associations.
Jay Garrick: Sounds like something we can do.
Blaze: Then we haven't a moment to lose. Our meeting's in Mongolia. We've got to figure out our mode of transport.
Vixen: Why not take the Javelin?
Blaze: The what?
Vixen: The Javelin. Javelin 7?
Blaze: I have no idea what you're talking about, Mari.
Vixen: It was the Justice League's mode of transport in the early days.
Flash: I'd totally forgotten about that thing! I think its even around here somewhere. Let me go check.
(With that, Flash dashes off to find the lost Javelin 7, and within a microsecond he returns)
Flash: Found it! Its way back in the hangar, but its still functional.
Vixen: Awesome. I'll fly us to the meeting place.
Blaze: Sounds good to me. Let's go.
(And sooner than you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, the old Javelin 7 is taking off once again, heading for distant Mongolia. But as they fly, we focus back in on the Nameless City, where Darkblood and Enchantress are going over some sort of mystic information)
Darkblood: Does anything here confurm what you have suspected?
Enchantress: Indeed it has. The hornless demon is indeed Anang Un Rama. But his energy is not native to this world.
Darkblood: So, we are not the only travellers from another world here... Curious...
Enchantress: If it were me, I'd be more interested in the one leading him.
Darkblood: Yes... the demigod. What have you learned about him?
Enchantress: He's not descended from just any god. If this energy I'm seeing is right, he's descended from Anubis, God of the Dead.
Darkblood: That would give us an edge over Black Adam if so. (Thinks about something) Perhaps this could prove even more useful than just that...
Enchantress: What're you thinking?
Darkblood: I'm sure you can tell what I'm thinking...
Enchantress: (Reading his mind with dark magic) Oh ho, you are diabolical. Moreso than that chump Malefor could ever have been!
Darkblood: Then it is agreed. We must capture him. Now. (Slams his paw on the ground) MANTA!
(At the mere mention if his name, Black Manta emerges from the shadows)
Black Manta: What's up, boss?
Darkblood: We need to capture the leader of tjis new faction. Do you have a way to get us to his location?
Black Manta: Depends on where the location is.
Darkblood: I don't care what you have to do. Get us to where he is. (To Enchantress) Where is he exactly?
Enchantress: He seems hard to find so far. But it appears he's in Mongolia. We can follow the underground river that fed this city to get up there.
Darkblood: Excellent. Manta, prepare your submarine. We set out forthwith.
Black Manta: Copy that.
(With that, Black Manta heads back to his submarine. But begore getting anything ready, he sneaks into a secluded room)
Black Manta: I've got to warn Blaze. She should be able to get this guy to safety.
(With that, Black Manta takes out his radio and sends the signal to Legion HQ, to which we transition, seeing Flash doing a bit of cleaning as Black Manta's teansmission comes through)
Black Manta: Manta to Legion HQ, come in Legion HQ.
(At this point, Flash hears the communication and rushes over to the computer to answer the transmission)
Flash: This is Legion HQ, we read you Manta.
Black Manta: The Empire is about to move out. They're heading for Mongolia to capture the gead of that new faction.
Flash: Wait, they're moving out now?
Black Manta: As soon as I get this sub prepped, we are. I don't have much time to warn you about this. Why, is something going on?
Flash: Blaze is on her way to meet with him now! I've got to warn them!
Black Manta: I've got to get things ready on my end, so as to not bliw my cover. Manta out.
(And with that, Black Manta's transmission cuts out, leaving Flash to try and get through to the Javelin in midair, unsure of whether it's radio still works or not.)
Flash: Come on... come on... please let the Javelin's radio still be working! I've got to tell Blaze she's walking right into an unknown ambush!
(As Flash continues to try and reach the Javelin, our tale ends for today.)
And that looks like a good spot to end for today. The alliance of the Republic and Legion is underway. But now the Empire is about to get involved and try to claim Belial Aether. But what nefarious scheme could Darkblood need the Son of Anubis for? This is definitely not good. And as to the presence of the Javelin 7, I just wanted to do something with the old Justice League cartoon. It was that or Young Justice's Bioship, which I'm not as familiar with. So what awaits as the meeting in Mongolia nears? Tune in next time to find out! Same time... same channel!
