The man smirked and fixed Wildcat with a glowing eyed stare. Wildcat just shook his head as he turned from the gaze and looked at the tow women, one either side of him. They seemed to glow with the portal light and then it was gone.
The two women smiled at Flash and stepped out of the light. Wonder Woman and Shayera Hol smiled at each other, each picking up their token from the ground.
Green Lantern moved forward with J'ohn and each picked up their token and then moved to flank the women. Next Batman and Superman picked up their tokens and moved to the central position of the team, leaving just enough of a gap for Flash, who picked up his badge and then took his central place.
Dyren shook with rage glancing between the team. "How!" he screamed in rage.
"A little desperate power." Flash explained, calmly walking down the hill. Something about his voice didn't seem right, it appeared to have a slight over lap of a second voice, that came and went.
"The I'll just have to put you back down." Dyren shouted, pointing one hand to the light army before him, sending his troops forward and then leapt at the new comers.
The Light and dark army clashed in the centre and the battle continued on with renewed force. The planes that were left swooped back around with the protection of the flying superheroes.
Dyren appeared before the team, but the six looked to Flash before they moved.
"Shayera?" he said. "Take the flying troops, send them into the fourth depth." He said.
"Clark, John? Left troops, three times. Bruce, J'ohn? Central forward, swing it through." He lastly spoke to Wonder Woman. "Down come the walls." He said all this without taking his eyes off Dyren. They all nodded and ran off to their positions, some how trusting in the little information Wally had given them.
"Just you and me." Dyren smirked.
"Just how I wanted it." Wally said back, surprisingly calm and uninterested. Dyren seemed to falter at this puzzlement.
Shayera flew through the forces, glad to feel the breeze rippling through her wings. She glided out to the regrouping planes and shouted some orders.
They pulled together and followed her through the thickest enemy flanks of the skies, and yet some how they made it through and trusted Shayera, Hawk Girl.
After the fourth thicket she ordered them to open fire. This broke apart the back troops and broke apart their hidden satellite. This sent many of Dyren's flying troops into panic as they flew apart and off in different directions.
"They're blind!" Supergirl shouted.
"The satellite was their eyes." Hawk Girl said, nodding her head at Flash.
Superman and Green Lantern flew down to the left hand troops of light and ordered for them to break formation. The Lanterns held back the troops long enough for the left hand side to reform and charge forward. This new point shaped side cut through the troops and drove them down and apart.
This created the left arm that the troops had formed earlier in the fight. However, with Batman and The Martian Manhunt commanding the central troops they cut back across.
Just as they had cut the corner off a new set of troops sprang from the earth and drove everyone back into line.
"Three times!" Superman shouted, leading the Green Lanterns forward to allow the light troops to refocus on their target. A second time they charged, and a second time they were pushed back.
The third time however seemed to hype the light troops into a battle cry and a thrashing charge. The dark troops fell to the weapons of light and the front forces fell.
With the front forces fallen a second machinery was reviled that threw up a shimmering shield of black night.
Everyone tried to batter it when Wonder Woman came charging from the skies, her tiara glowing with power. She circled once and then dropped into the wall.
With a cry of the dark troops their wall about them like the last breath of death, fought back by healers of light. The troops ran but those that stayed fought their last chance, knowing they would die
Flash and Dyren circled each other for a few moments before Dyren jumped forward and drove his sword into Flash, only to find him behind him. Flash threw a punch that Dyren blocked and retaliated by driving an elbow into Flash's gut. Flash stumbled back and got a fist to the face for his troubles.
Dyren tried to drop kick him on the ground but missed as Flash knocked his feet out from under him. The two wrestled on the ground for a bit before Flash was kicked off.
Dyren roared with rage as his flying troops scattered. He glanced over to see Hawk Girl leading a troop above the skies back to command. Dyren growled, looked back and got hit in the face by a flying Flash.
He found himself pinned to the ground and pummelled by the fists of a determined man. Dyren freed one of his arms and swept Flash off his chest.
Standing back up, Dyren picked up his sword and wiped blood from his face. Raising his sword he waited for Flash to come to him, after a few swings and misses he caused a small earthquake to trip the hero and slashed out at him.
Flash staggered back but grinned as he caught the tail end of the ground troops final attack that reviled the shield wall. He easily rolled out of the way of the raised wall, holding his bloody arm to himself, he kept Dyren with in his sight but watched as Princess Diana flew down to the wall.
Having lost his wall Dyren was ready to end his game and flew at Flash, missing him and landed face first in the sand. Flash kicked him down the hill but was forced to follow as Dyren swept his feet out from under him. The two tumbled down into the centre of the fight.
Standing back up Dyren roared with rage as his troops ran around him, trying to escape their death. Flash appeared before him and sent him across the field.
"Its over." Flash stated, waving his injured arm around him out to show the lack of troops.
"Then you'll end too!" he screamed, slamming a shoulder into the stomach of the hero. He hit him several times in the face and chest but shopped whenFlash's eyes glowed gold. He grinned and kicked Dyren into the next hill. With a move so fast that he seemed to disappear Flash was around him, running so fast that all Dyren could feel were the burns as cuts appeared across his body.
He staggered back and out of the circle, blood gushing down his body. Looking up he last saw his own sword, flying point first towards his face, and then he was gone.
Flash dropped the sword and let the body fall to the floor, the sword imbedded into Dyren's skull.
Flash took a shaky breath and walked, somewhat unsteadily back to the cheering troops of the Earths forces. He watched as the heroes greeted the core League members and all listened to the story of how they survived.
"It's all thanks to Flash." Green Lantern said, glancing at his approaching friend. "Flash?" he asked, looking at the dull glow of Gold.
"I can't keep it up." He said, falling to his knees, still holding his hand to his other arm.
"Hey." He looked up to see Hawk girl holding him and Wonder Woman behind him. "It'll come to you eventually." She whispered. "Barry told us that."
"Barry?" Flash asked before collapsing completely. The gold costume disappeared to revile the red costume of the Flash.
The gold glow floated above Wally and then in a flash of white, disappeared back into the Speed Force. "One day." It whispered to Wally before it was gone.
"He gonna be okay?" Green Lantern asked Batman.
"He should be." He said, "He just needs rest." He said, picking up the unconscious hero and walking off to the remaining Javelin.
Well, tell me how it's gone
