BIG BOOTS TO FILL
by C.A. TURNER

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Jill Munroe was awakened from a quick catnap at the Watchtower monitors by an alarm which rang loud enough to wake the dead. Hitting the transmit button, she summoned the Outsiders, the Lightstar Rangers, all of Young Justice, including the Geo Rangers, and the ThunderCats.

The message came over the line: "Hurry! The twin cities of Gateway & Angel Grove are being overrun by cogs, putties, &...PARADEMONS! We need the Justice League! Hurry!" The line went dead.

"The Justice League? Does he mean us?" Vanessa Kapatelis, the new Wonder Girl asked.

Keith Partridge, the Red ThunderCat, said with determination "He does now, at least for the time being. Andros, just what are...parademons?"

The Red Lightstar answered "A form of footsoldier that the forces of Apokolips uses. It's a good thing that Hawkman, Black Canary, and Hawkwoman are still here. We're gonna need their muscle for this one!"

"I'm heading out to Mariner Bay!" Kelly Garrett shouted, racing for the teleporters. "Time for Lightspeed to become active!"

"I'll try and contact some more outside help. I heard that the JSA was back in action. I'll try them first." Sabrina Duncan finished.

Mariner Bay is only 22 miles away from the Twin Cities Angel Grove & Gateway. There, a government foundation, Lightspeed Rescue has it's underwater headquarters. Kelly gained access to the base through Zordon. "I really hope Zordon's right about this, and we've got more help while most of the big guns are away."

Kelly ran straight into Dana Mitchell, and her brother, Ryan. Kelly remembered when she, Jill, and another Angel, Julie Rogers, help reunite sister & brother, & save him from a earthbound slease named Diabolico. The threesome had made an enemy in his assistant, Vypra. "Dana, it's time. Where's your father?"

"Just in the meeting room. How'd you hear about these demons?" Dana asked.

"Demons? We've got trouble in both Gateway & Angel Grove, and it could spread. Man, when it rains, it's a typhoon!"

"I'll get my Titanium Morpher, you get dad, and tell him it's time. Kelly, we've been working on some special morphers. I've got Titanium, and there are 3 more: Ruby, Onyx, & Sapphire, in addition to the Lightspeed morphers. These are for you, Jill, & Julie, if you want them." Ryan told her.

"Thanks. Jill & I could really use the extra strength. As for the third, it's up in the air between Julie & Sabrina." Kelly told him.

"Sabrina?" both asked.

"Sabrina Duncan, usually works with us. Dana, tell your father. Ryan, show me these morphers, and let me see what Liz has been doing here."

"Now that's a far different look from the girl who stole all my dates in college!" Kelly snickered.

Elizabeth Fairweather turned around. "Not funn...KELLY! How are you doing, I've missed you! How're things with..Charlie?" Ms. Fairweather knew about Kelly's day job, the one she shared with Jill Munroe & another girl. "I could've been an Angel, too, if I wanted."

"Insane these days. Liz, we're working with the JLA, and right now, they're off in some other dimension. Ryan was telling me about these morphers that you have for us?"

"Yes. The Ruby is Jill's, Onyx is yours, and the purple Sapphire is either Sabrina's or Julie's. Together, you're the Power Angels."

"Sounds great. Jill will love this. Now, if either Sabrina or Julie are interested, we've got a new team."

Around this time, 4 new people, Joel Robinson, Kelsey Winslow, Chad Lee, and Carter Grayson, followed Dana into the meeting room, where her dad, Capt. William Mitchell, were informing the 4 newcomers about why they've been brought there. "You've brought us to this...aquabase...so we can fight a bunch of angry demons?" Kelsey asked.

"Sounds like an episode of the X-Files, but it's true. I've known William Mitchell for years now, since my days in the Police Academy. He is not one to spin tall tales. It's all true." Kelly interjected.

"Kelly! Good to see you again. I just wish the situation was better." Will hugged her while talking.

"Me too. I hear you've got trouble here. We've got it in the twin cities. Liz just gave me the jewel morphers. I'll get them to Jill, and maybe Julie, possibly Sabrina. As for the 5 of you...yes, Dana, including you, I wish you all the best of luck in defeating this menace. Gateway awaits. 'bye!" Kelly smiled before vanishing in a purple flash.

GOTHAM CITY

An old brownstone in what was once one of Gotham's more fashionable areas continues to be the headquarters for the Justice Society of America. It is here that Sabrina Duncan has arrived, running into Queen Hippolyta, as Wonder Woman. "Your Majesty, are the rest of..." Sabrina started.

"No need to stand on ceremony, Ms. Duncan. I stand ready to help my daughter & her companions. I have also heard about the cogs, parademons, & putties attacking both Angel Grove & Gateway. The JSA has been alerted, and are arriving...now.

Sure enough, a blond gentleman, who seemed to have the same powers of a Green Lantern, arrived and stood in front of the 2 women. "Alan Scott, at your service." he spoke, bowing to Sabrina.

Sabrina gasped. "It's like time stood still for you. You were the Green Lantern during WW2. Yet, you don't seem to have aged a minute!"

"That's because of the magic that was in my ring. Mine was different from the Corps' rings. By the by, the name's Sentinel now.

Within moments, a red & blue blur showed up, forming into a man shy of his '80's. Slightly winded, he still showed that he was one of the fastest men alive. "Still making great time, Jay?" Sentinel asked.

"Always. Wildcat, Dr. Fate, Faust, & Stars & Stripe are already there, as is Starman." Jay Garrick told him.

"Well, shall we head for Angel Grove? They've already started attacking, and once it falls, Gateway's next!" Sabrina frowned.

"I vowed to myself that I would not fail my daughter. I MUST protect her city. Let us adjourn to Angel Grove, and prevent these...creatures...from invading her city." Hippolyta commanded.

"Sounds good to me. Let's..." Sabrina started, when her comm link went off. "BREE! Hurry back to the Watchtower! Keith & Andros just discovered something!" Jill's voice rang out.

"I'll meet you there! Sabrina shouted, and was teleported away.

"Now what?" Sabrina shouted. She had just teleported back to the Watchtower with Kelly, who had their morphers ready.

"Andros really discovered it! Something about the Parademons' weakness. They're like the borg in a lot of ways, united under one thought. Take that away and introduce independent thought..." Keith started.

"Andros quickly finished "...and they quickly fold like deck chairs. But... how do we use that against them? We don't have a weapon that can do anything like that?"

"We do. I was going over the schematics of our Power Angels weapons, and do Kelly & I have a whopper! Bree?" Jill shouted.

"The JSA is already there. Let's do it."

Keith contacted his brothers & sisters. "THUNDERCATS, TIME TO ROCK!"

In minutes, the Watchtower meeting room was flooded with color as...

Andros: "LET'S ROCKET! RED LIGHTSTAR POWER!"

Carlos: "BLACK LIGHTSTAR POWER!"

TJ: "BLUE LIGHTSTAR POWER!"

Ashley: "YELLOW LIGHTSTAR POWER!"

Cassie: "PINK LIGHTSTAR POWER!"

Aisha: "PURPLE LIGHTSTAR POWER!"

Zhane: "SILVER LIGHTSTAR POWER!"

Tracy: "COUGAR!"

Chris: "LEOPARD!"

Danny: "TIGER!"

Laurie: "CHEETAH!"

Keith: "LION!"

Jill: "RUBY!"

Kelly: "ONYX!"

Sabrina: "SAPPHIRE!"

"Let's move people! According to Superboy, the only JSAer still in the running is Hippolyta. The rest are down for the count!" Andros added.

"Man, are we glad to see you guys!" Red Lightspeed, Carter Grayson, shouted.

"Yeah, these Parademons are tough! Wish the Zeo team were here! Superboy shouted. The Geo Rangers, along with Wonder Girl, Brian Taylor(Young Justice's Green Lantern), Robin, & Impulse had their hands full with a unwelcome newcomer...Tengas, Quantrons were occupying the efforts of Outsiders Halo, Katana, Black Lightning, Looker, Geo Force, Blue Beetle, & Booster Gold, but on the plus side, the ThunderCats & Xena & Gabrielle were making video cameras out of the cogs, The Lightstars were smashing putties, and with Hippolyta's help, the Quantrons were nothing to worry about.

Hawkman, & the Lightspeed Rangers, however, had a tougher time of it, at first. Joel Rawlings, the Green Lightspeed Ranger, got a little too cocky, and tried to take them all out. This only got him knocked unconscious and put out with the other JSAers. Chad Lee & Kelsey Winslow, the Blue & Yellow Lightspeed Rangers, were more careful, but still had a tough time of it.

3 jeweled flashes, one of ruby red, one of onyx black, and one of sapphire purple, appeared before the Parademons. After a few kicks & well placed punches, the Power Angels activated their hypno-jewels, and had control of the minds of the demons, introducing independent thought.

That did the trick. They were soon confused, leaving them as easy pickings for Hawkman & the Lightspeed Rangers.

"I just got word from Batman. He and the others made it to this other dimension, but it appears they have their work cut out for them. He also says we'd better get ready. If they should fail..." Leela stopped.

A worried Pink Lightspeed Ranger, Dana Mitchell, looked at Hawkman. "They'll beat this...Minion. Won't they?" she asked, concern growing.

"I wish I could say yes. But the way things are in that realm, it's best not to say anything. Besides, there's an old saying. It ain't over till the fat lady sings."

"In that case," Jill finished "...let's just hope she stays quiet for the next 8 or 9 milleniums"

Everyone there murmured in agreement.

The End
