CHAPTER 12.2: BRAINIAC'S REIGN, PART 2
LEXCORP TOWER, METROPOLIS
Inside the Lexcorp tower. Gorilla Grodd is in Lex's office, looking down through the window. Lex Luthor and Ma'alefa'ak are in the room as well.
"You do have a hell of a view from up here." Said Gorilla Grodd and he drank a glass of spirit. "I'm guessing that we did all that because of… What you always wanted."
"I helped build this city, me. But Superman shows up and people immediately see him as a Messiah. If they won't look up to me, then I will take away their choice in the matter. And those heroes that help Superman, I will keep them around, but they will lose their will as well, and answer to the real hero, me!" Lex boasted, feeling confident he could control everyone.
"Amen to that." Grodd agreed with Lex.
Then Lex received a call. "I believe I am able to find the heroes that escaped our control." Brainiac spoke on Lex's holographic computer screen.
NURSING HOUSE, NEW YORK CITY
Ben is about to walk up to his girlfriend when he notices that Michelangelo is using his phone to buy a pizza.
"Mikey?! Turn off your phone!" Ben warned.
"Why, they might throw a slice of pineapple in our face?" Asked Michelangelo.
"Maybe. But you must tell everyone to stop using electronic devices. Cyborg now under Brainiac mind controlled could track down any-"
But before Ben could explain more about the warning. Omen senses something dangerous approaching, she looks out of the window and notices the wind is blowing harder and harder until the walls and windows are crashed.
*CRASH*
Omen back up after the windows break. "We're compromised!" She alerted everyone.
Outside. Red Tornado is using his tornado power towards the nursing home and starts using it to attack the whole building. One of the trees smashed through the wall.
"Does anyone know about the bloody tornado warning, while some of us go out and do that stupid plan?!" Said John Constantine.
Ben immediately turns into Lodestar. As Red Tornado was about to use his wind power, Lodestar easily bends Red Tornado's arms and legs, which makes him unable to use his wind powers.
"Too easy." Lodestar begins to use his magnetic powers to disassemble his legs and arms.
Titano and Donatello begin to carry Red Tornado's body parts, hoping that they can free him from Brainiac's programming.
"It's only matter of time for the Lexpendables to be here." said Tetrax
"All because of a stupid turtle thinks it's a good idea for a pizza time middle of an 'Stormtroopers' Apocalypse'." Constantine blames Mikey.
"My bad." Embarrassed Michelangelo.
"Enough!" Splinter cuts in. "We can't stay here any longer. I know a place we could hide for a while."
ABANDONED SUBWAY, UNDERGROUND, NEW YORK CITY
Later, Ben, Rook, Ester, Titano, Zeno, Tetrax, Grandpa Max, Gwen, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello Splinter, Lois Lane, Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, Black Lightning, John Constantine, Green Arrow, Arrowette, Dr. Fate, Omen (switched back to Lilith Clay), Obsidian, Alan Scott, Dr. Mid-Nite, Wildcat, Sandman, and Kim Tran went to the TMNT's hideout on an abandoned subway through Dr. Fate's golden ankh portal.
"Well… That was… Nice." Lois Lane said confused, looking around the whole base area.
"Tell me about it." Replied Titano.
"Hope you enjoy the tour, we got ourselves a good ol' sofa for us to sit down on." Said Donatello looking at the old looking sofa.
"Teenagers…" Sighed Alan Scott while smiling and even his son; Obsidian agreed until he saw Leatherhead near him.
"Dad, is that a giant alligator serving us a pot of pastas?" Surprised Obsidian.
"Leatherhead is now living with us after his old home got destroyed in the explosion. At least he is really good at defending our base for us… Thanks man." Said Leonardo.
"Wanna bite." Smiled Leatherhead offers anyone a pot of trashed pasta. Zeno wanted one for his snack.
"Uhh…. No. I think I'll pass." Lilith Clay grossed out.
Cut to Rook walking inside the dojo, He looks at the collection of Splinter's ninja weapons and items.
"Excuse me, Splinter. Are those two more of those bandanas like your students wear?" Rook looked at the bandanas, one yellow and the other was cyan.
"Those bandanas? Back when I was a human, I used to wear them to test my skills with my wife. It was fun…. Before the incident happened." Said Master Splinter.
"I see." Rook understands his backstory. After Master Splinter left the room, Arrowette walked up to Rook. "Cissie, how are you feeling right now?"
"I'm alright, thank you." Said Arrowette.
"I know, but… I meant we like to be a superhero defending anyone you care about."
"Well… I think it's important, but most notably protecting my family including myself from danger. Except I never knew my father much because he died from food poisoning."
"I'm sorry to hear that, Cissie. I missed my family and people on my home planet. But Earth is my new family." Rook said and Arrowette just smiled.
"Everyone gather around." Shouted Martian Manhunter in the other room.
"C'mon, Rookie!" Arrowette smiled and she brought Rook along by pulling arm which made his face brushed. When everyone regrouped into circles, Ben told them an explanation about Brainiac.
"Okay people, sorry that I forgot to tell you this part. But since Brainiac has now taken control of both of the satellites including Cyborg and our bases, we are not allowed to use any electronic devices." Said Ben.
"What about, Red Tornado?" Black Lightning asked, looking at Red Tornado's 'shut down' body laying on the sofa nearby.
"He had to stay asleep. We can't let Brainiac mind control him like he did to Cyborg, he even might destroy all of us in the sewer. Said Martian Manhunter and he placed a box onto the table. "Everyone, put any of your electronic devices onto this box until further notice."
As everyone placed their phone, portable console, etc onto the box. Michelangelo placed the shut down Red Tornado onto a box. "Uhh… Does the red bot count?" He said.
"Gwen, Lilith. Could you track down Cyborg with your magic… eyesight psychic shit!?" Said Ben.
"No, my magic spell isn't very useful against machines." Explained Gwen.
"Same goes to my psychic mind trick. His mind can't be red." Reply Lilith Clay.
"Damn it." Ben muttered, then he thought of a plan to use the Ultimatix to contact someone. "This is quite risky, but I better call in Batman since he's the only League member who does have contingencies against other Leaguers."
"Ben. We're not sure if whatever or not our Batman is part of the brainwashed superheroes. It could be a trap." Said Rook.
"I agree with Rook." Understood Green Arrow. "Let's not take that risk."
"Or you could wait for me here." Said Batman just appeared right out of nowhere, which made most of them jump.
"Jesus, how did you find us?" asked Ben, then he took a guess. "You've been tracking us, haven't you? For how long?"
"That's not important." Batman replied shortly.
"And how do we know you're not one of them?" Raphael begins to be suspicious since most heroes have been brainwashed by Brainiac's chips. He also pulled out his Sai blades.
"Because I don't wear them." Batman show's behind his neck that he doesn't have Brainiac's chip planted on him. Batman looking at the shut down Red Tornado's body. "Ben, you and a few of our teammates had to come with me to Gotham's clocktower."
"What for?" asked Ben.
"You'll see." replied Batman.
Many of the other heroes had already managed to leave, but Ben remained, noticing that Kara was frowning. "Kara, you okay?" Ben went over, offering to comfort his girlfriend.
"I'm worried about them, Ben." explained Supergirl. "I'm worried about my cousins, Kal and Kon". She was referring to Kal-El and Kon-El, Superman and Superboy.
"Don't be," replied Ben, then gave her a quick kiss on her forehead. "We'll snap back every single 'goodie-two shoes' on this planet, find out who's responsible for all of this, and take back what's rightfully ours. It's what we do."
Supergirl replied with a warm smile.
"Ahem." Lois interrupted, with a smirk on her face because of enjoying seeing two young couples gave a little comfort. "I really love to see more 'teenage dramas' but you really need to move out."
"Alright, alright." says Ben, as he leaves.
CLOCKTOWER, GOTHAM CITY
Ben, Rook, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Dr. Fate, Green Arrow and Arrowette walked out of the ankh portal and entered the clocktower, where Nightwing, Robin, Black Canary, Huntress, Orphan, Spoiler and Red Hood are expecting them.
"Who the hell are you supposed to be?" Ben asked the new guy, Red Hood.
"The guy who's gonna shoot you in the head." Red Hood shot back at Ben.
"Pretty Bird. We all thought we lost you. Again." Said Green Arrow happily to see his girlfriend again.
"Glad to see you again, babe. But there's someone who came up with the whole new base." Said Black Canary as the whole group moved a bit. Barbara Gordon sitting on the wheelchair rolled towards the others.
"Babs? What happened to you?!" Gasped Arrowette, so does Ben and Rook.
But Barbara doesn't want to talk about it. "We can talk about that later."
Barbara Gordon shows the whole group her newly built batcomputer and explains to them that it is already unhackable.
"Huh. Bet it could track down Rampage cause we forgot about her back in my first mission. Anyway, I'm surprised that Brainiac couldn't reach that thing." Said Ben.
"We managed to track down Cyborg still under Brainiac control and it seems that he is hiding right at Lexcorp tower." Barbara pointed at the beacon on the screen.
"You mean… We had to go back to where we were trying to get inside the tower?!" Sighed Ben.
"Hold on. How did you manage to track down Cyborg?!" Rook was surprised.
"I planted the tracking device onto Cyborg's back years ago when the whole Justice League was first formed." Explained Batman.
"Wow… you really are the 'World's Greatest Stalker'." Spoiler replied sarcastically, until she notices Batman is glaring at her with his narrow eyes. "Shutting up…"
"Our plan is to keep the brainwashed superheroes away from the tower by distraction, so a few of us could go up the Lexcorp tower and disable Brainiac out of Cyborg's body, so all of our technology and satellites can reactivate back to our control." Batman continued.
"If we're gonna pretend to charge towards Lexcorp, then we better tell the rest of our teammates about our… 'fake attack'." Said Ben until he heard an explosion from a distance.
*BOOM*
Orphan checked it out by looking out of the clocktower window. "This whole Lexpendables 'defending' Gotham city is getting worse and some of them are near us!" She said,
"Then we had to take back the city. Robin, Red Hood, Black Canary, Huntress, Spoiler and Orphan will stay in Gotham and get the Lexpendables off of this town. Be careful, there might be too many of them to handle. Dr. Fate will send most of our teammates to Metropolis and lead the distraction. Said Batman.
"On it." Said Dr. Fate and he uses his ankh portal to teleport himself back to turtle lair, so he could tell the rest of the resistance about the plan.
"So how are we able to get inside the Lexcorp without getting spotted?" Asked Ben.
"Not to worry… We got ourselves a 'mole' hidden somewhere in the tower base." Answered Batman.
ABANDONED SUBWAY, UNDERGROUND, NEW YORK CITY
Dr. Fate explained to the rest of the resistance that they are going back to Metropolis for the distraction.
"Alright, this should give us a good shot." Said Black Lightning agreeing with the idea.
"I don't know… That whole idea does sound like we might be ending up the same way as Mr. Garrick." Said Obsidian.
"Then we old people can help you all even more than before." Said Dr Mid-Nite.
"Let's show them what old people can do." Kim Tran replied as she and Alan Scott's power rings both charged up.
"So do I." Replied Grandpa Max.
"Grandpa? Are… Are you sure about this?!" Asked the surprised Lucky Girl.
"Gwen. I may be a retired soldier. But that doesn't mean I should give up animal shooting." Grandpa Max smiled and he showed everyone a cybernetic cube and then it automatically changed into a high tech armor. "Like Ben said. I am 'Bruce Willis', but better."
Then Grandpa Max also notices that Lois Lane, a reporter from Metropolis, is holding a shotgun, originally belonging to Grandpa Max.
"Young lady, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Grandpa Max was a little surprised that she's going to join the fight.
"I'm not a fan of 'sitting still'. I'm going." Lois is being adamant.
"You don't even know how to use that thing." Grandpa Max is concerned that Lois has no idea how to use a gun.
Lois then unloads the shotgun, showing that she knows how to use a gun.
*KLAK-KLAK-KLAK*
"I'm an army brat." she explains, as her father was a US General.
"Watch out for that reporter." The smiling Titano whispers to Zeno. Then everyone saw Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Dontatello grabbing their weapons and about to leave their home.
"Aren't you four joining the distraction?" Asked Supergirl.
"We love to, but we had to get back to the Undertown, to check that any aliens and mutants are safe." Said Leonardo.
"Yeah. I don't want to see that Mutanimals kill any humans all due to that old fleabag." replied Raphael and the fleabag nickname he is talking about is Old Hob.
"Good choice my sons. Leatherhead and I will stay to defend our home and even keep Red Tornado safe." Said Master Splinter.
LEXCORP, METROPOLIS
Soon afterwards, Supergirl, Ester, Titano, Zeno, Lucky Girl, Tetrax, Black Lightning, John Constantine, Obsidian, Dr. Fate, Green Arrow, Arrowette, Omen, two Green Lanterns (Alan Scott and Kim Tran), Dr. Mid-Nite, Wildcat, Sandman, Lois Lane, and Grandpa Max returned back to Metropolis, ready to distract the mind controlled heroes away from Lexcorp. Omen begins to use her psychic power to check that there is any of the petrol around the city in her vision.
"There are a lot more of our friends guarding outside the tower than last time." Answered Omen.
"Alright. Get ready people, this will be one hell of a distraction." Said Green Arrow loading up his arrows.
"Going to be like old times, don't you guys." Said Grandpa Max wearing his high tech armor.
"Second, if you count the whole dinosaur invasion we had back then." Said Dr. Mid-Nite.
Just then Omen sense danger approaching. "They managed to spot us!" She warns her teammates.
Ester stretches her neck up a bit and she sees the mind controlled heroes; Wonder Woman, Superboy, Captain Atom, Tempest, Jade and two of the Green Lanterns (Hal Jordan and John Stewart) moving towards the resistance.
"No, not you…" Shocked Alan Scott to see that Jade is part of the mind-controlled superheroes protecting Lexcorp. Then two Flashes (Barry Allen and Jay Garrick) speed around all of the heroes and try to attack each of them using their rapid punches.
"Obsidian! Give me your blackout skills!" Shouted Black Lightning and he combined his lightning sparks with Obsidian shadow spark to create a shadow shockwave. It knocked both Flashes away.
That's my boy! Alan Scott thought while smiling at his son's action. However, brainwashed Zatanna shows up and begins to use her healing spell at both Flashes, they both get back up and continue to attack the resistance again.
"And… there's my pretty girl over there!" grumbled John Constantine after seeing Zatanna aiding the other brainwashed heroes. Then Constantine managed to use a magic shield to block Wonder Woman's sword. She kept on striking John's shield until Omen yanked Wonder Woman's sword with her psychic telekinesis and then bent down like a balloon.
And so all of the superheroes fight back against the group of brainwashed superheroes in the middle of Metropolis street. As the brainwashed superheroes are being distracted, Omni-Knight, Rook, Batman and Martian Manhunter manage to sneak towards the backdoor of the Lexcorp's tower. They bring the "mole" along as well, who is actually Lena Luthor, she opens the door by accessing the code.
"Used the elevator and went through the twelve floors because it had the least security." Said Lena Luthor wanting to get rid of her brother.
"Wait, why did you help us?" asked Omni-Knight.
"I don't care if you win, I just want Lex to lose. Even if it means you all die trying." replied Lena.
Then he entered the tower and caught up with Rook and Batman, while Lena Luthor walked away.
Back to Metropolis street. The resistance are still fighting against the brainwashed superheroes. Obsidian created a shadow tentacle and used it to trap Jade. He is about to pull Brainiac chip out of his sister's neck until John Stewart knocks Obsidian away by using his ring summoning the giant fist. When Obsidian quickly got back up, he saw the army of Lexpendables approaching to aid the mind controlled heroes.
"Head up! We got more of these guys, incoming!" Warned Obsidian and he was ready with his shadow power to attack the Lexpendables army. But all of the sudden a giant vine popped out of the ground and knocked some of the troopers away.
"What the hell is that thing?!" Said Ester looking at the giant vines while avoiding Tempest's attacks.
Then the vines bind Tempest, then hurls him away. It was revealed to be Poison Ivy, who came out of a giant flower tulip, along came Harley Quinn and Catwoman.
The heroes were surprised to see Ivy, Harley, and Catwoman decided to help.
"What are you girls doing here?" asked Supergirl suspiciously.
"We're here to make Baldy to shit his pants!" answered Harley enthusiastically.
"Yeah, Luthor's gotta pay after what he did to Gotham." explains Ivy.
"I can't even steal anything because of this 'martial law' bullcrap." Catwoman agrees.
Supergirl knew the heroes would need all the help they could get. The three villains are sharing the same common enemy with the rest of the heroes; Lex Luthor.
"Alright, go help out Mr. Tennyson, Ms. Lane, and Wildcat." ordered Supergirl. Which allowed Harley, Ivy and Catwoman to run towards Captain Atom and attack him.
"Elite squadron, DEPLOYED!" One of the Lexpendables' troops calls in more help, sending out brainwashed Mister Miracle, Big Barda, Blue Beetle, Spartan and Brainiac's drones to join the fight against the resistance.
"Stand your ground, people!" Shouted Dr. Fate and he uses his ankh shield to block Blue Beetle and Spartan gunfire and then pushes the ankh at them. While Zeno and Tetrax shoot at the drones with their machine guns back to back.
"If only we still had any comms so we could contact the other guys!" Replied Arrowette while helping Green Arrow, firing an arrow at Superboy, but he kept dodging. Omen pulls one of the Lexpendables towards Wildcat with her psychic and he uses his dropkick at the trooper. In the air Alan Scott and Kim Tran having a beam combine battle against Hal Jordan and John Stewart.
INSIDE LEXCORP TOWER
As the distraction continued, we cut back to the inside of Lexcorp tower. Omni-Knight, Rook, Batman and Martian Manhunter all managed to reach the tower top floor. However, Lex Luthor is nowhere to be seen in the whole area.
"No sign of Luthor anywhere." Said Rook.
"We'll get to Lex later. Right now, all superheroes and our people still need us!" Said Batman, just then the 'US president' walked out of the doorway.
"Ah. Have you superheroes come over to speak with your president by asking for the surrender." Said the president.
"You can't fool us by asking us for your permission, Ma'alefa'ak." Shouted Martian Manhunter which forced Ma'alefa'ak to change back to his original self again.
"Heh. You are really good at this brother. No matter, you wanted to finish all this, you all had to face me!" Said Ma'alefa'ak.
"Yeah? You and what army, 'Squidward'?!" smirked Omni-Knight and he also already knew about Martian Manhunter history. But then brainwashed Superman, Aquaman and Cyborg appeared right next to Ma'alefa'ak.
"You really gonna stop asking that question." Rook sighed.
UNDERTOWN, NEW YORK
Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello returned back to the Undertown and saw everything look like it had been deserted.
"I will give Hob credit. He did manage to evacuate the entire town quickly." Said Donatello.
"Wow, looks like he does have goodness in his heart." replied Mikey sarcastically.
However they then saw one of Brainiac's drones being pushed away nearby and then got killed by Old Hob, Herman and Man Ray machine guns all at once.
"Keep searching around and remember about those cloakers." Old Hob ordered his loyal soldiers. Then he saw all four turtles walking towards him.
"Fleabag! Are you still in the city?!" Said Raphael.
"Doing the usual." replied Old Hob. "And that's not my name."
"Sorry, what I meant was 'douchebag'." Raph continues to tease the mutated cat.
"Enough!" Leo cuts in, then turns his attention towards Old Hob. "What's the situation?"
Old Hob knew that despite their differences and methods, they share one common enemy; the Lexpendables and Brainiac's drones. "All of the people of Undertown have left quickly, if you think about it. That humans seems to have sent out their robots after we got rid of all of the frozen troopers." Old Hob asked.
"Hob, look! Few of those drones have entered the back side of our base." Shouted Man Ray saw three of the Brainiac's drones manage to enter Mutanimals new base.
"Damn it, The 'goo-girl' was inside!" Old Hob thought. Herman, Ray, back to base with me!" He ordered.
"Hold on, fleabag! We'll help out as well, cause the Mutanimals you're in are still on our side!" Said Raphael and he along with the three turtles catching up with Old Hob and the Mutanimals.
When they inside the Mutanimals new base. Old Hob spotted a few of the Brainiac's drones looking at the sleeping tube, so he fired his machine gun at two of them and when it ran out of bullets, Old Hob ran towards the third drone and punched it head off. When everything was clear, Herman looked at the sleeping tube, to see that it was empty.
"Sir, it's empty! The goo-girl must've woken up during the attack." Said Herman.
"What? I asked Mondo Gecko to guard that tube." Said Old Hob looked back at the empty sleepy tube.
"Oh I didn't know you guys got a pet… or a secret food." smiled Michelangelo.
But then brainwashed Stargirl appeared along with Brainiac's drones by falling through the large hole above the Undertown and landed outside the base. The mutants looked out of the window after hearing the stomp.
"Well we're screwed. They send in one of the mind controlled superheroes." Gasped Dontatello.
"It's a human! They better not find the mutant goo before us." Said Old Hob loading up his weapons and about to fire at Stargirl through the window.
"Easy, Old Hob. We don't want her killed! You three should focus on the drones instead!" Said Leonardo.
After getting out of the Mutanimals base. Old Hob, Herman the Hermit Crab and Man Ray firing their guns at the Brainiac drones. While Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Dontatello went out and focused on fighting against Stargirl.
MEANWHILE, GOTHAM STREETS
A few hours ago, Commissioner Gordon, Detective Montoya, and Detective Bullock, gathered dozens of civilians to make a protest.
"Citizens of Gotham City, we've survived against the worst this city has provided us! Fear gas, robot penguins, anything the Joker dishes out on this city! And we're not going to let our city fall against the new threat, these robots and the ones they control! So Gotham City, let's fight back!" Commissioner Gordon rallied the citizens to stand up to the forces invading the city.
When the army of Lexpendables are approaching nearby, all of Gotham people marching down the street towards the whole group.
"The hell is all this?" Said one of the Lexpendables.
Then Commissioner Gordon answered that question by yelling out of the megaphone. "This is the commissioner calling. The whole city had enough with a bunch of troopers wrecking everything while doing your job, so we advise that you should leave or we'll kick you all out by force."
"They're starting a riot, let's put them in their place." Said one of the female Lexpendables. As all of the troopers aimed their weapons at the protesters.
"Let's get them!" A citizen called out as the entire force charged forward.
The Lexpendables were about to open fire, but some of them were shot by unseen assailants and then a massive sound wave knocked them down as Huntress, Red Hood, and Black Canary had joined in and took down the first wave.
"Good work." Oracle said over the comms. "Now grab me one of their weapons and hook it up to the connection port in one of the watches I gave you so I can find a way to shut them down."
"On it!" Orphan said as she went after another Lexpendable and tripped the guy before taking his weapon and hooking Oracle up. "Ok, it's linked!" Orphan told Oracle through the comm as she linked Oracle's computer with the weapon systems of the Lexpendables.
"Got it." Barbara said as she started working through the code. "Robin, help the civilians on the right and Nightwing help the ones on the left."
"On it!" They both replied before heading out to help as the civilians and GCPD were putting up a strong fight against the Lexpendables. A few got hurt before Nightwing got there, but once he made it the tide turned. Meanwhile, Robin prevented the death of an officer by knocking a Lexpendable down. Then he saw brainwashed Batwing approaching in the air and he fired his gauntlet gun towards the people of Gotham.
"Everyone, get down!" Shouted Robin and the crowd of people managed to avoid the gunfire just in time. Batwing is turning around and begins to fire again.
"They got and used one of our guys!" Red Hood grunted as he focused on attacking one of the Lexpendables. When Batwing is lowering down so he could have a clear shot, Batwoman shows up by gliding out of the rooftop and grabs Batwing to the ground. Both of them got back up and began fighting.
"Batwoman," Black Canary shouted. "what took-"
"I know, I managed to return back after my farway mission." Explained Batwoman and then she avoided Batwing's wing strike. "You carry on helping the people, I'll calm our flying friend down." And she continues to fight against the brainwashed Batwing.
Oracle found a code for shutting down the weapons and went for it. A moment later the Lexpendables were trying to shoot their guns, but they wouldn't fire.
"Shit, they shut us down!" A female Lexpendable exclaimed in annoyance.
"Now's your chance, Canary charge forward!" Oracle advised. "Red Hood, supply cover."
"Going for it." Black Canary said as she unleashed her powerful voice.
"Keeping an eye out." Red Hood assured Barbara as he shot a Lexpendable trying to use a cop's gun.
"Orphan, Spoiler, and Huntress, see if you can find the one relaying orders and take them down." Oracle suggested as she located a strong signal.
"On our way!" Huntress replied as she, Spoiler, and Orphan went towards the location of the signal.
Batwoman and Brainwashed Batwing are still battling each other. "Batwing, you pick the wrong side!" Batwoman warned and then Batwing pushed her to the ground by kicking her.
Batwing flew upwards and he flew towards Batwoman to give her a sky attack. but when he getting close, Batwoman blinded him by tossing the smoke bomb making crashed into the nearby post box and knocked him down.
"Batwoman. Removed the chip away from the backside of Batwing's neck before he wake up." Ordered Nightwing while knocking out a few of the Lexpendables, which made Batwoman remove Brainiac's chip off of Batwing's neck.
"On it!" Said Batwoman, looking at Brainiac's chip.
With the Lexpendables weaponless and brainwashed Batwing out of action, the citizens of Gotham were able to fight back hard as they beat and bashed the armored Lexpendables back and almost out of their city.
Meanwhile, Huntress, Spoiler, and Orphan found a truck with Lexcorp personnel inside of it as they were the ones distributing the orders. "Consider this unit deactivated." Huntress declared as she shot an arrow into the fuse box and destroyed the power supply. Spoiler and Orphan, literally, kicked the Lexcorp personnel out of the truck before they left a bomb in it. Once it blew all of the Lexpendables in Gotham City were disabled and the city was retaken.
LEXCORP TOWER
Omni-Knight transforms into Atomix, then Superman charges towards Atomix and crashes towards the wall. Aquaman is using his trident to fire the energy beams towards Batman, but manages to jump over and dodge it. Martian Manhunter and Ma'alefa'ak both shapeshift into Vulpimancers to fight among each other. And finally, Cyborg was firing his sonic canon towards Rook, which he easily avoided with his backflip jump.
In the mid air, both Atomix and Superman are floating. Both were about to charge towards each other, but as soon as they charged among each other, both fists clashed. However, Atomix's nuclear punch was able to knock Superman away.
Still on LexCorp, Aquaman is still attacking Batman with his trident. But Batman still manages to dodge him.
"Arthur, snap out of it!" yelled Batman.
He knew that he couldn't beat Aquaman's head due to his thick skin and his enchanted trident. So Batman throws his smoke bombs to temporarily blinds Aquaman, which he results to coughing, then he throws a small marble which releases a high-density magnesium carbonate, which creates a foam which restrains Aquaman all over his body, except his head. Finally was his chance, Batman walks towards Aquaman and unplug Brainiac's chip behind his neck. When Aquaman regained consciousness, Batman poured a little on the magnesium carbonate to free the Atlantean king.
On the other side of the fight, Rook was firing his blasters from his Proto-tool, but it was blocked when Cyborg used his energy shields. Batman notices the Rook is having a hard time against Cyborg, so the Dark Knight pushes a button from his utility belt to shock Cyborg's body.
*BZZZTTT*
"AAARRRGGGHHH!" Cyborg was screaming in pain when Batman activated the virus by pushing a button from his utility belt.
Cyborg finally fell unconscious for a while. Rook checks Cyborg's neck, revealing that he doesn't have a chip behind his neck.
"Batman, there's no chip behind his neck," said Rook.
Batman accesses his holographic computer from his glove wrist. He begins to upload Cyborg's rebooting instruction to Rook's Proto-tool.
Then Rook begins to read Cyborg's programming system from his Proto-tool. "These are Cyborg's programming systems." But Rook begins to be suspicious towards Batman. "But how do you know his program works?"
"I've been studying his system long enough."
"Like the way you planted a virus on Victor's program?"
"Not now."
Martian Manhunter is still busy fighting against his White Martian brother, Ma'alefa'ak, as they transform into various alien species to fight back.
"You killed my family!" J'onn fights with anger, due to his brother and his kind, the White Martians. Ma'alefa'ak and the rest of the White Martians managed to wipe out the Green Martians, leaving J'onn to be the last Green Martian.
But Ma'alefa'ak has no regard for killing the rest of the Green Martians. "We've suffered discriminations and inequality for far too long! You and the greens had it coming!"
Finally, both Martians stood still as they're having a telepathic battle. However, Batman decided to end the fight by throwing an incendiary explosive towards Ma'alefa'ak.
"AARRGGHH!" Ma'alefa'ak was screaming in pain after burning, which gave J'onn a major advantage, as he also beat Ma'alefa'ak at sidekick battle. Ma'alefa'ak finally fell unconsciously.
"I had that." said J'onn.
"Sure you did." Batman replied sarcastically a bit.
Cyborg has finally been rebooted. He was awakened, then worried about his dad; the last time he saw him was at S.T.A.R. Labs in Detroit. "Dad! Where's-"
"He's fine." Rook said. "You were under control by Brainiac."
"Yeah, that was the last time I remembered." Cyborg remembered the last time he fought Brainiac back at Detroit.
Meanwhile outside LexCorp tower, as Atomix's nuclear punches manage to punch Superman to the ground and creates a crater.
*CRASH*
Superman was about to get up and recover, Atomix didn't want to give Superman a chance as he creates a large atomic sphere from his hands and throws it towards Superman. It hits him and creates an atomic explosion.
*BOOM*
Superman was out cold temporarily due to his invulnerability. Atomix checked Superman's neck, then unplugged Brainiac's chip from his back of the neck. Superman finally woke up.
"Ugh. What happened?" Superman steadily woke up while Atomix helped him up steadily.
"Brainiac happened." answered Atomix shortly.
Batman, Aquaman, Rook, Cyborg, and Martian Manhunter, headed down meeting Atomix and Superman. Atomix transforms back to Omni Knight.
But Omni Knight knew this was far from over. "Okay, now it's a good thing to have Cyborg back again. But how are you gonna free the rest of the guys from Brainiac's chip?"
"Do you still have Brainiac's chip?" asked Cyborg.
"Yeah, why?" Omni Knight replied and handed over the chip to Cyborg.
"I might be able to free everyone from Brainiac's programming, if I could connect to Brainiac's chip programming."
But Rook is against it. "That's a terrible idea. What if Brainiac manages to control your system again?"
"Not this time, my Apokoliptian tech will 'ignore' Brainiac's programming."
Cyborg then opens the boom-tube from his thoughts then he walks through the portal.
WATCHTOWER, MONITOR DECK
Mr. Terrific just finished repairing the computers, then Cyborg arrived at the Watchtower monitor deck through the boom-tube. "How's the computer?" Cyborg asks Mr. Terrific.
"Ready to function. Why?" Mr. Terrific asks.
"Let's just say I've found a way to disrupt Brainiac's chips' programming." Cyborg answered.
"All over the world?"
"Yup."
Cyborg types on the League computer system while plugging his wires from his head while accessing Brainiac's chip.
LEXCORP, METROPOLIS
Cut to the resistance still distracting the army of mind-controlled superheroes, Lexpendables and Brainiac drones in the street. Then as the fight continued, a shockwave from the Watchtower appeared from above and it made all of the superheroes and Lexpendables free from being brainwashed by Brainiac's chips. But all of the drones didn't go offline, so Black Lightning eliminated them all with his lightning attacks.
"Did it work?" Said Green Arrow looking around at Barry Allen, Jay Garrick, Wonder Woman, Superboy, Captain Atom, Tempest, Jade, Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Zatanna, Mister Miracle, Big Barda, Blue Beetle, Spartan, and the Lexpendables waking up after the mind control has been disable.
Omen uses her telepathy power to check that any of the superheroes she sees are now normal again. "Yes. They did it." She said and smiled.
GOTHAM CITY, NEW JERSEY
A disable shockwave disables all of the chips out of all of the Lexpendables army, who were forced to leave Gotham by crossing the bridge.
ABANDONED SUBWAY, UNDERGROUND, NEW YORK CITY
A disable shockwave has not only freed Red Tornado from being mind controlled, but also woken up from being shut down. Master Splinter and Leatherhead run towards a robot superhero and help him get off the sofa.
UNDERTOWN, NEW YORK
The turtles are avoiding Stargirl staff attack until a shockwave disables Brainiac's chips, which break free Stargirl out of mind control.
"Wa…. Am I- Turtles?!" Confused Stargirl looking around the area.
"More incoming!" Shouted Leonardo pulling his katanas back after seeing that more Brainiac's drones are approaching. However when everyone is about to attack, one of the drones suddenly fires its laser eyes at the others.
"The hell?" Confused Raphael seeing that all of the drones are destroyed by a drone. Then it shifted into a purple teenage mutant goo girl.
"Hiiii! Just wanna make a good entrance for myself." Smiled a mutant purple goo girl.
"Actually, I came up with the idea, so good for you." Said Mondo Gecko walking up towards her.
"Wait…. That's a goo-girl from the tube?!" Surprised Michelangelo.
"Yes and she is a space mutant and not a pet." Answered Old Hob, then he turned to Mondo Gecko. "Now Mondo, I told you to protect her while we cleared off the enemies."
"Sorry, Hob. Lucy wanted to go outside after she woke up." Worried Mondo Gecko.
"Lucy?" Old Hob then looked at the purple mutant.
"Hello, you must be Old Hob, the mutant pussy cat that Mondo told me about. I'm Lucy Mann!" She patted Old Hob's shoulder and also gave him a purple goo on it. "Don't worry, I promised that I won't get mud on anything."
"Great. Now get the hell outta my freakin' body." Old Hob is a little annoyed as he shook the mud goo off of his shoulder.
"Okay!"
"I have no idea what is happening right now." Confused Stargirl.
MEANWHILE, THE SWAMPS
In the swamps, Lex Luthor has gathered with Vandal Savage, Ra's al Ghul, Shredder, Gorilla Grodd, Professor Zoom/Reverse-Flash, Black Manta, Deathstroke, and Queen Bee all of them being influenced by Brainiac. Lex is observing the downfall of the Lexpendables across the various areas.
"The Lexpendables may have failed, but they are all minor setbacks, for Brainiac." He said, observing other footage of a rising ship from Metropolis, Brainiac's ship. Similar ships were rising from New York, Gotham, and countless other cities around the world. If mind control failed, then a direct invasion force would be what was necessary to conquer Earth.
UNDERTOWN, NEW YORK
Cut back to the Undertown. Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, Old Hob, Herman the Hermit Crab, Man Ray, Mondo Gecko, Lucy Mann and Stargirl feel the whole ground is shaking.
"Whoa! Is there an earthquake in New York and Undertown?!" Said Michelangelo and then he fell down.
"It's coming from somewhere above." Shouted Man Ray holding on the building wall tight.
"I'll go check it out!" Said Stargirl as she flew through the giant hole above Undertown.
"Human…" Old Hob glared quietly then quickly looked back at the others. "C'mon, we gotta go back and check up on the people of the Undertown." So the Turtles and the Mutanimals run off to find the safe zone where all of the aliens and mutants are hiding in the sewer.
When Stargirl flies out of the Undertown, she sees that one of the Brainiac ships has risen from the Hudson river. Just as Red Tornado went out of the manhole and saw the same thing.
GOTHAM CITY, NEW JERSEY
Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood, Spoiler, Orphan, Huntress, Black Canary, Batwoman, Batwing, Commissioner Gordon and the rest of the Gotham people looked in shock as they saw one of Brainiac's ships floating towards the city.
LEXCORP TOWER, METROPOLIS
One of the Brainiac's ships begins to fire its laser beam at Metropolis city. The rest of the resistance and armored troopers were falling back in order to avoid getting hit by a giant beam.
"All Justice League and Titans members, this is an 'Omega Level' alert! I repeat, this is 'Omega Level' alert." Shouted Cyborg on the radio.
While Omni-Knight is shocked to see that Brainiac's ships are causing havoc across the city. His head is beginning to feel strange. He can sense Brainiac through his mind.
"Ben. What's wrong?" Said Rook.
"I can sense Brainiac. But I don't understand because I am human… Unless." Omni-Knight just contacted four of the founding Justice League members. "Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, regroup!"
So Omni-Knight, Rook, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter unite and gather around.
"I can sense Brainiac too." Said Cyborg.
"Okay. You could tell us about the whole resistance later. But Ben, how are you able to sense a robot brain?!" Said Flash.
"I know… I realize something now. When I used Upgrade to merge with one of the Lexpendables. I battled him to free the trooper, his program must've gotten into my head." Explained Omni-Knight.
"Let's find out." Martian Manhunter places his hand onto both Omni-Knight's head and Ulitmatrix to read minds. In his vision, he sees Brainiac standing on top of Legion of Doom's headquarters in the middle of the swamp.
"Miami… It seems that the Legion of Doom's headquarters were hiding in the swamp of Miami all this time." Explained Martian Manhunter.
"Of course, they always pick somewhere completely hidden." Said Wonder Woman. Then the rest of the superheroes and armored troopers meet up with the founding members.
"There you are! The rest of the troopers that we unbrainwashed wanted to help us fight against that giant ship that sent out a bunch of robot bullocks!" John Constantine requested and he was right. Lots of Brainiac's drones were summoned by a ship and rampaging through the street.
"Some of the troopers should secure Ma'alefa'ak out of the tower. The rest of you and superheroes-" Superman stopped because notices that some retired superheroes, Lois Lane, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman were part of the resistance.
"Don't ask. We all had a long ass week or whatever." Explained Obsidian.
"Hi, Batman!" Smiled Harley, Ivy and Catwoman waving at Batman, which made him sighed.
"Anyway. Just go back and focus on the ship, while we along with Omni-Knight and Rook set off to Miami, we discover where Lex Luthor is hiding." Superman continued.
"That's good. But how will we be able to reach Miami all together in time?" Said Green Lantern (Hal Jordan).
"I can still open a boom tube. Don't worry… I'll be right back. Again." Said Cyborg and he entered the boom tube.
Omni-Knight sighed with his arm crossed. "And he'll be arriving back in about, 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…" Cyborg went out of his boom tube and this time he is riding the Javelin ship. "Told yah, guys." He smiled.
So Omni-Knight, Rook, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter went aboard the ship.
"Rook. Be careful out there." Arrowette said to Rook, about to close the ship door.
"I will." Said Rook.
The Javelin has taken off and flown into Cyborg's boom tube. When the ship went out of Metropolis. All of the superheroes turn around and see that Brainiac's ship and drones are right near them.
"Continue the fight!" Shouted Dr. Fate.
And so Supergirl, Ester, Titano, Zeno, Lucky Girl, Tetrax, Black Lightning, John Constantine, Jade, Obsidian, Dr. Fate, Green Arrow, Arrowette, Omen, Alan Scott, Dr. Mid-Nite, Wildcat, Kim Tran, Lois Lane, Grandpa Max, Jay Garrick, Sandman, Superboy, Captain Atom, Tempest, Jade, John Stewart, Zatanna, Mister Miracle, Big Barda, Blue Beetle, Spartan, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman and the rest of the armored troopers all charged towards Brainiac's ship and the drones to fight.
SWAMP, MIAMI
Later. Omni-Knight, Rook, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern/Hal Jordan, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter boarded the Javelin ship and reached Miami's swamp by Cyborg's boom tube. When they approached the area where the Legion of Doom's headquarters were located, all they found was a giant lake.
"There's nothing but a lake?" Omni-Knight said, confused.
"Exactly. They were hiding underneath the water all this time." Said Aquaman.
"Uhh… Guys. Does Miami have a giant kraken?" Said Flash saw a giant tentacle rising out of the swamp lake.
"This isn't right!" Said Wonder Woman. "Pull the Javelin-" A tentacle fires its laser beam at the Javelin ship in one hit, making it fall down towards the ground.
"Gah! I can't control the ship, we had to eject out of here!" Batman quickly presses the eject button. Which made each of the seats all heroes sitting on flew out of the shot down Javelin, just as it crashed landed on the river.
"Phew. That was close. But does anyone know anything about the shield?" Said Rook getting out of the eject seat after landing safely.
"Yeah, we would have landed safely if we had that thing." Annoyed Green Lantern getting back up as well. But he does, the entire Legion of Doom headquarter rises out of the lake, showing it become a large octopus like the body of Brainiac.
"Brainiac!" Gasped Superman looking up at Brainiac's octopus-like body. Then Lex Luthor, Vandal Savage, Ra's al Ghul, Shredder, Gorilla Grodd, Reverse-Flash, Black Manta, Deathstroke, and Queen Bee jumped out of Brainiac's body and landed near the Justice League. Lex and Vandal are wearing battle armor as well. Which looked like the Lexpendable, but it was in green and black color each and wearing a different face cover helmet, pattern and shoulder pad.
"So you all managed to make it to the swamp this far!" Smiled Lex Luthor after unmasking his helmet.
"Give it up, Luthor. We've beaten you once, we'll do it again." Warned Superman.
"This time it's different." Black Manta smirked and after Omni-Knight, Rook and all of the founding Justice League avoided Brainiac's stomp, the Legion of Doom began to launch their attack at the heroes.
"I'll take care of Brainiac!" Shouted Omni-Knight and he uses his Ultimatrix to transform Way Big and when he presses the logo, he evolves into Ultimate Way Big.
"Surprised that I have become 'way big' for this battle!" Said Ultimate Way Big and he began to punch Brainiac repeatedly. However he is protected by a force field. "What the?"
Then Brainiac used all of his tentacles to grab Ultimate Way Big and toss him into a pile of trees, when he fired lots of laser beams at him, Ultimate Way Big dodged the attack and tried to kick his leg. But Brainiac is still shielded.
As Ultimate Way Big and Brainiac are still battling, the Justice League is fighting against the Legion of Doom. While the Flash is busy dealing with the superfast battle against Reverse- Flash. Aquaman clashes his trident against Black Manta's harpoon, however Manta stunned him by firing a laser from his harpoon. It was upgraded because he was influenced by Brainiac.
"That's new." Said Aquaman and he carried on fighting.
Wonder Woman trapped Queen Bee with her lasso, but she sent out some spawn at her. Cyborg shields himself from Deathstroke's attacks, but he destroys the barrier by throwing a grenade at him. Batman was using his batarangs in battle with Shredder, while Martian Manhunter was using his telepathy to clash with Gorilla Grodd. Rook used an energy sword from his Proto-tool to battle with Ra's al Ghul. Aquaman fights Black Manta with his trident, while Black Manta uses his blades and laser beams out of his eyes. On the air, Lex Luthor, currently in his armor suit, is flying in the air against Superman, while Hal Jordan tried to use his ring to summon green missiles at Vandal Savage, but he avoided every shot and fired his laser out of his battle suit. Hal Jordan blocked the attack by using the green shield.
Ultimate Way Big is still battling against Brainiac. He fired his cosmic ray at the large-octopus, but it took no damage and Brainiac sent out multiple missiles towards him. Ultimate Way Big tried to block, but too many missiles knocked him to the ground. He tried to get back up until Brainiac halted him by stomping on his chest.
"You're struggling, child. You can not disable the most intelligent being in the universe." Said Brainiac as he raised one of the tentacles and about to stab him. "Prepare to be offline."
"Argh… You're right. I can't disable you, but I can merge you!" Grunted Ultimate Way Big, then he pressed his Ultimatrix on his chest and changed him into Upgrade, just in time as Brainiac missed when he tried to stab him with the tentacle.
"What?" Brainiac realized that Ultimate Way Big is gone. While Upgrade merges one of Brainiac's tentacles.
Upgrade gradually makes his way through Brainiac, slowly disrupting the connection being spread to the rest of the Legion of Doom.
BRAINIAC'S MIND
"It is a foolish move for you to come here." Brainiac warned. "I can offer you knowledge, power, anything you can dream of."
"Power's overrated, I kinda like what I have." Upgrade was trying to take control of Brainiac's program. But Brainiac kept resisting Upgrade's merge.
"GRAAGGHHH!" Upgrade is struggling in pain.
"I will not be defeated by a child with a toy. I am the supreme intelligence, and I am fully aware of what you're capable of." Brainiac said.
"A child maybe, but this child is about to kick your ass!" Upgrade boasted.
He finally manages to merge even more, as Upgrade's willpower is much stronger than Brainiac's.
"HOW?!" Brainiac was getting a little static, causing errors on his program. "Y-YOU CAN-CANNOT DEFEAT M-ME. I A-AM B-B-BRA-I-NIAC!"
"Willpower has nothing to do with intelligence, dipshit!" Upgrade boasted again.
Finally, Upgrade managed to merge Brainiac fully.
SWAMP, MIAMI
As the fight between Rook and the original 8 against the Legion of Doom continues, the villains are suddenly "disconnected" from Brainiac's connection.
"Wha… What?" Queen Bee looks a bit confused after Brainiac's disconnection. It leaves Queen Bee unguarded, and Wonder Woman knocks her out with her single punch.
"That's our que!" Wonder Woman signals the rest of the heroes to fight back as the villains' connection with Brainiac are no more.
Superman rips off Lex Luthor's battle suit with his heat vision, then flicks his pinky finger to knock out Lex, Green Lantern constructs a bullet train and rams Vandal Savage with it, knocking him to the floor, Batman uses his "pressure point" technique to paralyze Shredder then uses his combo punches to knock him out, Rook disarms Ra's at sword fighting, kicking him unconscious, the Martian gets the upper hand at his telepathy battle with Grodd, collapsing the gorilla, Flash zooms back and forth towards Professor Zoom, eventually defeating him with rapid fire punches, Aquaman broke Black Manta's harpoon and then knocked him out by punching his helmet's eye, breaking it, and Cyborg uses his sonic wave to disrupt Deathstroke to gave him a headache, overwhelming him into unconsciousness.
Brainiac's giant octopus-like-body begins to collapse as it crashes on the swamp waters.
*BOOM*
Upgrade joins Rook and the rest of the Leaguers
"Is it over?" ask Batman to Upgrade.
As Upgrade was about to answer, the normal body of Brainiac rises from the damaged ship as it refuses to be defeated.
"This.. is… not… over…" Brainiac walks slowly towards the heroes.
Then Upgrade transforms into Feedback. "Seriously?!" Feedback starts to complain that Brainiac wouldn't stand down.
Brainiac begins to raise his hands and aim it towards Feedback. While Feedback was running towards Brainiac.
Brainiac fires his energy blast with everything it's got, while Feedback simply points his fingers in Brainiac's direction.
*ZCOOM*
As the energy blasts are fired, Feedback easily absorbs the blasts and sends them back to Brainiac, which completely wipes him off.
"Now it's over." smirked Feedback. Then he looked back towards his teammates where they gave him a small smile towards Feedback.
METROPOLIS PARK
Superman is speaking publicly in Metropolis, to the civilians, the League members, and the Titans members. Now they're all free from Brainiac's control. "Everyone, I know today, many of you are confused. Lex Luthor once again lied to everyone and took your free will from you. But we never gave up, and by fighting hard, everyone was freed from the control he and Brainiac imposed."
The crowd of people murmured amongst themselves as they couldn't believe that they were all duped.
"I know that learning this truth is hard for everyone, but it is much harder to even believe that Lex had played the world for a fool. However, that just proves how human everyone really is." Superman explained before continuing. "Everyday there are dangerous situations that we all want to avoid. Situations we would wish for a way to protect the world from, and all of those dangers they bring. Sadly we cannot protect the world from all of them, because despite how we all may be different one thing remains the same, we are all human and humans make mistakes, even big ones."
The people and the heroes all had to admit that he was telling the truth. Regardless if a person is normal, meta, immortal warrior, rich, alien in origin, mutated, or anything else, everyone is human and humans make mistakes, because that's part of it.
"With that in mind, let's have a moment of silence for those that have fallen and let their memories live on through all of us." Superman advised and everyone nodded before bowing their heads in silence for those that lost their lives during the whole situation.
Superman's speech was heard around the world and everyone agreed that being human meant that mistakes could be made and learned from. For now the world would work to recover from what Lex Luthor and Brainiac did, then they would work on the future on their own.
MIGHTY MUTANIMALS' NEW HEADQUARTER, UNDERTOWN
Old Hob turned off the television in disgust after hearing that none of the Superheroes never mentioned mutants living in the Undertown and even isn't credited as well. Just then, Lucy arrived and gave Old Hob a beer can.
"Hope you are thirsty after moving a bunch of our neighbors back in town, Mr. Hob. I didn't even mess the whole floor as well!" Lucy Mann joyfully skipping away.
Old Hob silently looks at the beer can, then he drinks it.
TENNYSON'S RESIDENCE, ROW HOUSE, NEW YORK
Ben, Gwen, Rook, and Ester made it back home where Gwen 's parents, Frank and Natalie Tennyson were waiting for them.
"Come here you guys!" Natalie was happy to see them again as she and Frank gave them a group hug.
"Ahem!" A girl was clearing her throat. Kara Kent was already in the house, and personally wanted to celebrate the victory with her boyfriend, Ben.
"I heard what you did to Brainiac. Way to go, 'big hero'." Kara was proud of her boyfriend, then gave him a kiss.
Ben was blushed, which gave Rook, Gwen, Ester, Frank, and Natalie, a smirk.
EPILOGUE 1, BELLE REVE PRISON
In Belle Reve prison, Lex Luthor, Ra's al Ghul, Vandal Savage, Oroku Saki, Gorilla Grodd, Eobard Thawne, David Hyde, Slade Wilson, and Queen Bee, are calmly waiting for someone.
Klarion the Witch Boy appears on Vandal Savage's cell through his portal.
"It's about damn time you showed up." Savage talks to Klarion.
"You're welcome." Klarion replied sarcastically, while carrying his cat, Teekl. Both Savage and Klarion walk through the portal.
One by one, the portal was open on Lex Luthor, Ra's al Ghul, Oroku Saki, Gorilla Grodd, Eobard Thawne, David Hyde, Slade Wilson, and Queen Bee's cells, as they casually walked through the opened portal.
However, only Ma'alefa'ak's cell is left. Unlike the other villains, Ma'alefa'ak was freed by someone different. A boom-tube portal was opened, revealed to be Granny Goodness.
"Granny Goodness." greet Ma'alefa'ak as he knew Granny.
"My dear boy, the Master awaits you." Granny said.
Finally, both Ma'alefa'ak and Granny Goodness walk through the boom-tube portal.
EPILOGUE 2, BURNOW ISLAND
Somewhere in the Atlantic ocean, there is a mysterious base called Burnow Island. Some of the agents arrive from the portal carrying one of the Lexpendables' armor and place it right near General Tetsu-Oni.
"This chip is now the only online tech that you can find somewhere around on this planet?" Said Tetsu-Oni looking at Brainiac's chip he is holding, after he took it from the armor.
"Our best rank general sir. Would our first best rank Prime know that this chip is strong enough to create a very strong plan." Said one of the agents.
"I know you're going to say that. The Prime leader always knows that our master plan to upgrade the war machine will make it unstoppable." Said Tetsu-Oni and he walked away.
END OF CHAPTER 12.2
