Wildcat, Green Arrow and Black Canary were trying to run the Watch Tower. The workers were doing their jobs, but with the core League members 'out of order' the Tower was in an uproar.
The three found it hard not to get upset like the rest. The younger heroes like Elongated Man and Supergirl were either crying in their rooms, moping in the corridors or sitting in large groups in silence.
The older members were trying to keep things together, but already the tears were showing through. And as for the League members? Batman had finally come out of his room, only to lock himself onto a chair at the main control room and try to track Dyren. The only problem was, as quickly as he had appeared, he had disappeared.
So while Batman searched the world, Shayera and John sat together after getting Diana cleaned up and were all currently sitting in the cafeteria with some of the younger lot in a large, silent group.
Superman was with J'ohn trying to figure out what went wrong, and how they would move on.
They stayed that way until the next morning when J'ohn called a full League meeting. When everyone was gathered Superman stood before them all with Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Batman, Shayera Hol and J'ohn.
"We have met an enemy, who is stronger than any we have faced before." He began. "We do not know what he is, or if he has back up. We know nothing about him, his weaknesses or where he came from." He looked around the room. "But he has taken someone very important from us, and we can not let him do that again."
Just as he was going to continue the screen behind him erupted into static.
"Not again." Green Lantern growled, looking up at the face of Dyren.
"Sorry to interrupt everyone, but I wanted to make this game of mine fair. And to do that I shall end this fight and my fun by having a big, so to speak 'face off'. My army, versus your army." He cackled.
"But to have it fair." He suddenly appeared on the podium beside Superman. "I'll take you core team!" then in a swirl of smoke the remaining core League members disappeared along with Dyren.
Every super hero in the room was sent in an uproar. Green Arrow sprang forward and whistled for everyone's attention.
"Listen!" he pleaded. "If he has the core members, then we must continue on without them!"
"What are you on lad!" Someone shouted.
"We have to beat this guy!" he shouted out, silencing the questions. "We are the last stand before his own army!" he told them. "Let us find where they intent to fight and let us gather every hero inside and outside the League. If he has an army, then we should fight as well. He will not back down, he has killed…killed…" he took a shaky breath. "Killed out friends Flash, Wally West!" he looked out at the cold hard faces.
"Now he has taken the core members of our League. Let us fight back!"
He paused, looking for a reaction, what he got was a cheer from the least expected person of all.
"We should defend ourselves!" Dove shouted. Every head turned. "I say, they want to take over the world, and won't listen to reason, we should stand and fight!" This was met with applause and cheers of agreement.
"Good to see I have a good number of opponents." They all turned to the screen again. Dyren stood smugly. "I want you all to see the show, I've sent you leaders to different worlds, and there they will stay until they're dead." He said, showing six screens behind him.
"Lets watch." The six screens appeared clearly in six section and the crowd set in, ready to watch.
I'll leave it here, next chapter should be the longest, well…I do have six Leaguers to follow!
