Rising of the Avenging Heroes
ESKK: Well here we go the newest chapter let us begin.
(Start Ghost Ship Wave)
The battle had begun as the skies flashed to life with Torunn and Wonder Girl clashing blades. As the two girls of Godly blood duked it out it was clear for both sides it was personal. It was no secret that Asgardians and Olympians have a bitter rivalry between each other causing them to clash any chance they got. As they met swords thunder struck around them part from Torunn part from this Wonder Girl.
As they duked it out they parted and glared at each other. Wonder Girl then threw her shield at Torunn who deflected it with her sword before bringing down lighting on Wonder Girl. Using her bracelets Wonder Girl blocked the attack but Torunn kept it up. "You're out of your league Olympian I am the Daughter of Thor Granddaughter of Odin." Torunn called out but it seems Wonder Girl took it.
"Funny." Wonder Girl began as she focused the power. "But my mother was the daughter of Zeus making me the Granddaughter of the King of the Gods!" Wonder Girl called out before she sent her own bolt of lightning at Torunn sending her flying from it.
"Torunn!" Hawkeye was heard as he then joined that fight before firing off his arrows at her. Seeing this Wonder Girl deflected the arrows with her bangles before going after Hawkeye. "Uh oh!" Hawkeye gasped before he ran for cover.
"Leave my boyfriend alone!" Torunn called out as she charged at Wonder Girl bashing into her sending the two flying off the side.
"I got a clear shot!" Hawkeye said until a new voice was heard.
"So do, I." A voice called and thus Hawkeye narrowly avoided being shot by an arrow from afar. He looked expecting Itsuki but instead saw a young man around his age with a red outfit that had a hood with it and a mask over his eyes.
"Where did you come from!?" Hawkeye asked as he saw the new arrival.
"Take a guess." The guy said notching up another Arrow and in turn fired the arrows off forcing Hawkeye to run for cover. Once he did so Hawkeye returned fire with his own Arrows but this other archer was proving to be just as good as Hawkeye. They soon got close and notched and arrow point blank range to which they shot causing the two arrows to explode upon impact.
Hawkeye ran for cover as did the new arrival to which the two stuck to cover. "So they gave you a name, buddy?" Hawkeye asked getting another Arrow ready.
"Call me Speedy." The now identified Speedy said before he jumped out from his cover and fired more arrows only for Hawkeye to return fire. Hawkeye's attack hit forcing Speedy to get away from it.
"Speedy really?!" Hawkeye taunted only to find himself on the receiving end of a punch to the face via a boxing glove arrow.
"Better than your pretentious name." Speedy said as he looked Hawkeye.
(Nearby with Morgan)
Morgan flew around as she tried to keep an eye out for that annoying kid with the sword... not Ren. "Guys seems our Bird themed friend and Girl of Wonders aren't alone." Hawkeye said and thus Morgan heard this.
"They have an archer as good as you, don't they?" Morgan asked as she knew Hawkeye was in trouble.
"Is that a trick question?" Hawkeye retorted until Morgan got a bleep on her radar.
"Got you." Morgan said after hanging up on Hawkeye. Morgan then landed and busted into the ship and aimed her guns only to find an empty room. "Wait what?" Morgan asked as she looked around for the Kid in question.
"Look behind you Stark." Robin said as he lowered behind Morgan just before he slapped something onto her back.
"Wait what did you?!" Morgan began only for her armor to start short circuiting. Following it up Morgan found her own thrusters activating on their own and sending her flying into the sky through the roof. Morgan cried out in shock when this happened as she flew to the sky.
(Avengers)
"Morgan!" Viv cried out in a panic and quickly gave chase to her. Viv phased through the ship to get to Morgan faster but when she did she was cornered off by a new arrival a young woman with organ hair, green skin, and a white suit with a large red X on it. When Viv clashed into her she found that the woman was also intangible allowing her to grab Viv and stop her. The two regained physical from before Viv fired her head beam to force the girl to let go.
"Sorry but we can't let you do as you please." The girl apologized as she looked to the android.
Viv was careful as the girl the shape shifted her arms into snake to grab Viv who phased through it. "I don't suppose a name is in order?" Viv asked as she flew through the girls attack.
"Miss Martian and yes I'm from Mars." Miss Martian said as she looked to Viv who didn't seem surprised by this.
"I should be shocked but I'm a lesbian android so that hardly surprises me." Viv said as she looked to Miss Martian clearly not shocked by what she found. The two then clashed against each other and thus began to duke it out once more while flying about.
(Back with Morgan)
Morgan crashed into the forest where she rolled on the ground and bashed through several trees before she stopped on her back. "Ow." Morgan cursed as she started rebooting her armor. "I'm going to kill that kid when I get him." She said and soon her armor rebooted so she can see what was outside. What she found was Robin coming down on her making Morgan go wide eyed to this. Morgan activated her thrusters and got back on her feet in time to avoid the Katana from the Boy Wonder.
Robin wasn't done as he then charged at Morgan who blocked the attack with her armor only to be pushed back. When Morgan stumbled she looked and to her utter shock saw gash marks on her armor where Robin had slashed her. "That armor won't protect you Stark." Robin said while taking a battle stance.
"Oh fuck me." Morgan cursed as she then summoned up blades from her armor knowing whatever that sword was made of was no joke.
(Back with the Group)
James, Raphtalia, Filo, Skaar, Azari, and Pym were all that was left as it seems Glass had more allies then the initial two who had arrived. James was ready for a bout as he knew he had to be careful. "Call off your allies now!" James countered as he glared at Glass.
"No I don't think I will." Glass said as she knew bringing them here was the right move. The Avengers have officially met their match. They should be grateful she hadn't seen the need to bring in their strongest ace. Robin had proven to be an excellent strategist in identifying each of the Avengers weakness and creating a strategy to exploit them each with his own teammates.
"That's it lets do this Pym!" Azari called out and thus Pym nodded.
"Right!" Pym called out and in turn the two charged into battle.
"Azari Pym stop!" James called out only for Azari's animal senses to go wild and avoid a large green Gorilla that came out of the Ships lower deck through the floor. Pym, who was in his pixie form, was fired at by another stinger which sent him flying to the ground before returning to their normal size. From nearby a dark skinned young woman appeared via growing to her normal size as the Gorilla transformed into a green skinned point eared young man.
"All right they took it just Robin said, Bumblebee!" The green skinned boy said as the girl smirked.
"I can see that Beast Boy." Bumblebee said as the remaining Avengers were surprised by this. Bumblebee then focused her attention on Pym before she began to speak. "Listen little boy you better run off now. See I'd rather not be the mom for you here and spank you." The girl said as she rather not beat up a kid who was half her age.
"LITTLE!?" Pym yelled showing he did not appreciate being called little.
Pym shot out a bolt of energy at her, missing as she dodge while shrinking down to Pym size, and flew away on her own set of wings, at the last moment as she said, "So you got some power, too bat you're not the only one with some stingers."
Pym was confuse for a moment until Bumblebee charge at him with her hand raise. She then fired off bolts of energy of her own at Pym as he dodge them as they came. No doubt after facing his mother's Iron-Avengers counterpart the boy knew well enough how to dodge stingers like that. Soon enough the two were fighting each other as they flew around.
Meanwhile with James and the others fighting against glass as Filo and Raphtalia attacked Glass at great speed as they soon attack from the sides with heavy attacks. But she block their attack with her fan with ease, but it left her wide open in the middle as Skaar came in with his sword as he came down while saying, "Skaar slash!"
But before he could, an orange and glowing Green blur flew at him, while hitting him with some explosive results. Skaar flew back and landed on the ground, looking to see what hit him and saw an orange skin girl with red hair, and bright green eyes as she said to him, "I am Starfire, and you shall face me now strange beast."
"Skaar is mad, green eyed girl stop Skaar!" Skaar said as Cody said to him, "Be careful Skaar, we don't know what she can do, try throwing something at her."
Skaar quickly acted on Cody suggestion as he pick up a barrel near him and throw it at the girl as she saw it coming, quickly raise her hand and fire a green energy beam at it, destroying the barrel before it reach her as Cody saw that as he said, "Energy base attack, I guess she like Captain marvel then, try to get in close then smash her into the ground hard."
Skaar roar out as that all he needed to hear as he went leap at the girl, and fast, as she saw this quickly raise her arms to fire more beams at him but Skaar use his sword to block and deflect them as he got in close, with a raise fist he swing at her, but she was quick to dodge it, with Skaar missing and hit the ship instead, making a Skaar size hole in to, making the whole ship shake a bit.
Glass lost her balance for a moment but keep Filo and Raphtalia back as she did with her fans, James saw an opening as he throw his shield and said, "Boomerang shield!"
Glass acted quickly as she didn't see that coming as she push back Filo and Raphtalia with her weapon and side aside quickly as the shield flew by her, hitting the mass as it made it bounce back aim at her as she quickly twisted her whole body and strike the shield back, as it went back in the reverse order and in James's waiting hand as he put it back on his arm as Glass said, "That was a surprisingly well done I never thought to see the shield to be use in such a manner."
"There a lot of usage a shield can be used for other than defending," James aid as Glass said, "Clearly."
"Don't forget about us! Chaos spear!" Motoyasu said as many spears of light came at Glass as she block them all with ease, as it was all child's play for her, with Ren and Itsuki join in on the attack as they un lease their own chaos attack, with Glass about to block but Skaar came back up near her as charge at Starfire again, making glass lose her balance once more, with no time to get in a proper stands she leap away dodging the attack at her.
On the side as Azari was fighting against a green skin shapeshifter named Beastboy and to the name he live up to it as he change into many different animals, with Azari dodge Beastboy attack well enough before hitting Beastboy away with his staff weapon he had while Beastboy was a Ram.
Beastboy change back as he run his head and said, "Ouch, how are you so quick."
"I train greatly and learn the way of my people, and succeed my father as the new Black Panther," Azari said as Beastboy was a bit Awe struck as he said, "That so cool dude."
"Thanks, you're not so bad yourself, too bad we're enemies," Azari said as he summon forth his power as the marks on his body glows and summon forth a creature of energy that looks like a panther in itself. This caused Beastboy to panic a bit as he suddenly changed into a chicken to dodge Azari attack of electricity.
Back with Pym and Bumblebee the two flew around firing their stingers at each other attempting to overpower the other. But it was evident Pym was at a disadvantage he may be smart but this girl was older and more experienced than he ever was. As Pym kept flying he was soon being chased by the girl causing him to fly around hoping to avoid her. Pym couldn't go big here because the ship may not be able to take his weight but he was running out of options.
"Give up kid, I've done this longer than you have, and you gotta know this won't end well," Bumblebee said as she as chase him down firing a bolt of energy at Pym. It seemed she was aiming for his wings, taking aim as she gotten a steady shot to hit and about to attack with Pym using the tool that James gave him as he thought hard and loudly as he can as he commanded through his thoughts, "Come on out you little guys and help me!"
Bumblebee a fire a shot, suddenly something hit into her making her missed, as she move around while falling, she lost control of her flight for a moment before regain control and sat up right. Then to her surprise she saw what hit her and surrounded her as she looks around her many winged ant were all around her. Even the monster looking kind somehow as Pym flew in and join with them as he said, "You're good, but I'm smarter and I can tell the odd are against you!"
"Huh insect powers... gotta look into that one later." Bumblebee said and thus the Ants flew at her at Pym's attack. Bumblebee flew around avoiding them with ease as the Ants came at her. When she got a clear shot Bumblebee fired her weapon off but she knew something Pym didn't. From what Robin told her Pym can shrink and grow to the size of a giant but Bumblebee had him beat in one aspect. Pym can shrink to the size of an ant and that was his limit of shrinking, but Bumblebee didn't have that limit. Thus when the Ants all began to gang up on Bumblebee she shrunk even further disappearing from sight.
"What?!" Pym asked in shock trying to figure out where Bumblebee went.
In turn Pym yelped in pain when something stung him... wait STUNG?! Pym then felt more stings causing him more pain before he realized what was going on here. "She can go smaller?!" Pym cried out in shock realizing Bumblebee is able to become smaller then himself.
Pym then quickly grew to his normal size as he tried to get the micro girl off him. But that was a mistake as Bumblebee then grew to her normal size as well and grabbed Pym and proceeded to restrain him. "Little boy calm your butt down and stay put!" Bumblebee scolded as she held Pym in a hold to which Pym struggled to get free.
"You wanna see little let me show you big!" Pym called out and much to Bumblebee's shock Pym went giant and thus forced Bumblebee to free him. Bumblebee seeing this shrunk down again and flew about as she began to fire her stingers at Pym. Pym felt the stings but tried to swat Bumblebee away hoping to get her off his back. But Bumblebee was fast and thus Pym was quickly running out of room. Bumblebee then flew down and went for Pym's legs as the boy quickly realized his mistake here. With no other choice Pym went small again only for Bumblebee to grab him and the two rolled on the ground. Once they got to the ground Bumblebee returned to her normal size with Pym being taken along.
(With Skaar and Starfire)
Skaar and Starfire crashed into the forest floor as the two were still fighting it out. The crater they made was proof of that as Skaar then roared and managed to bash the orange skin girl through the ground leaving a trail of destruction and green energy in its wake. Skaar chased after Starfire who was buried under rocks now to make sure she stayed down. But when he got there a beam of green energy came out forcing Skaar to jump around it to avoid being hit and sliced by it. In turn Starfire blasted out of it with her eyes glowing green, her hair like fire, and her hands holding the same green energy.
"Oh boy she's good." Cody said as he knew this might be tough. "Skaar I don't think hitting her is going to work." Cody said trying to think of a new strategy.
"THEN SKAAR HITS HER HARDER!" Skaar roared and in turn jumped down upon the girl.
"SKAAR NO!" Cody called out but Skaar wasn't listening.
Starfire then punched Skaar in the stomach and fired one of her star bolts at point blank range causing the Hulk spawn pain. Starfire then knocked Skaar aside as she glared down upon Skaar. "I won't deny all the good you've done but you need to be stopped I'm sorry for this." Starfire said knowing she had to do this for the good of others.
Skaar roared and charged at Starfire as she knew how to go about the next attack. Starfire then hit Skaar in the shoulder causing him a great deal of pain when she did so. "That was a nerve bundle if I had done light taps in just the right way that would have made it numbed it the way I did it now caused you pain." Starfire said as Skaar grabbed his arm in pain. Then with his good hand he got ready to smash the girl only for Starfire to hit him in the ribs causing Skaar even more pain pushing him back. Skaar glared at her with grit teeth as he wasn't out of the fight just yet. Skaar was smart enough to know that he had his broadsword and knew how to use it.
The Skaar jumped back and drew his sword before charging at Starfire. Starfire seeing this quickly dodged the wild savage slashes from Skaar. Starfire then flew up and fired her Starbolts at the rage monster intent on bringing him down at all costs. Skaar roared in response showing he was not going to let Starfire get one up on him no matter what happens to himself.
(Back with Torunn vs Wondergirl)
Torunn and Wondergirl went at it as the grandchild of Olympus faced the daughter of Asgard. Each clash of their swords resulted in a blast of lightning from the sky showing the two were serious about besting the other. As the fought Wondergirl pashed Torunn with her shield several times before she proceeded to disarm her of her sword. As Torunn's sword spin away Wondergirl slashed down on Torunn with her own sword forcing Torunn to block it with her gauntlets.
Torunn then pushed Wondergirl back and in turn was left open for Wondergirl to kick her back hard. As Torunn flew across the sky Wondergirl acted and use her lasso to restrain Torunn. The Asgardian found herself wrapped up by the lasso while Wondergirl smirked to her foe. "You've been beaten Asgardian surrender!" Wondergirl called out but Torunn's Asgardian pride would not allow her to admit defeat to an Olympian.
"NEVER!" Torunn yelled as she then summoned her sword back. Wondergirl was surprised when Torunn managed to free herself by spinning her body with Wondergirl still gripping the Lasso. The result was Wondergirl losing her grip before Torunn freed herself and caught her sword in that exact order. Wondergirl regained her flight pattern and the two daughters of mythology glared intently at each other hoping to best the other.
(Morgan vs Robin)
The two none powered fighters continued their duel. Morgan had retracted her blades and in turn Robin threw more of his bird like boomerangs at Morgan. In response Morgan fired them out of the sky as she smirked at her bird themed foe. "Heh I heard your tech was fast but through the entirety of this battle it's clearly not fast enough." Robin said as Morgan glared at Robin.
"That's it!" Morgan yelled as she did not take kindly to ANYONE insulting her tech. As Morgan charged at Robin intent on punching his lights out Robin was ready and in turn grabbed her arm before knocking Morgan aside hitting her where the joints of her armor met. As Morgan crashed into a rock she was already getting back up glaring upon Robin showing she was not going down so easily.
The two then went at it again but Robin was proving to be too quick for Morgan to keep up with. They went at it as Robin then restrained Morgan with his sword. "So who am I fighting you or your ego on a computer?" Robin taunted only for Morgan to fire off her flares to the ground.
Once she did that she fired her repulse once Robin let go only for Robin to quickly avoid it. "Why not both?" Morgan countered as she glared at Robin. But from the smoke Morgan failed to see more of those birdarangs coming at her and what made it worse they exploded once they hit her blasting her back and in turn leaving her on the ground. As Morgan began to get back on her feet Robin stomped his foot down on her back to make sure she stayed down.
"And in the end that's the difference between us Stark, you wear a weapon I am a weapon." Robin said only to hear Morgan laughing a bit instead of struggling.
"That's the difference then a weapon can't do much without someone to control it. Even a self-thinking weapon can be outsmarted." Morgan said and in turn she disengaged her armor. Her Armor flew of the girl and proceeded to restrain Robin. The armors lights then began to flash red with a beeping sound as Morgan ran for cover. Acting fast Robin stabbed the armor in the torso and sliced it into before freeing himself and running to cover.
When he did the armor exploded showing Morgan had instigated her armors onboard self-destruct sequence. She had installed it when Ultron gained the ability to infect other machines when he was still around. That way if ANY of her tech was compromised to that level she can destroy it and keep Ultron away from it.
Back on the current task at hand Morgan was running away to get away from Robin while summoning up another suit of armor. One that can take down this kid hopefully but as she tried to get the signal out she saw that the signal couldn't be reached. Morgan tried to figure out how to get around it only for her legs to get wrapped in another of Robin's gadgets. Morgan fell on the ground and then looked to see Robin was upon her.
"Let me guess you jammed my signal?" Morgan asked as she looked to Robin.
"Yeap." Robin responded and thus Morgan knew she was in trouble.
"Oh crap." Morgan cursed realizing she was beaten.
(Back with James and Glass)
As the battles continued around them it was evident Glass had a counter for each of his teammates. Evan Ren, Itsuki, and Motoyasu were impressed and worried with what they saw Glass did. All the while Malty smirked from the side lines already plans to eliminate the Avengers forming in her mind from all of this.
The avengers were giving it all they got, as they fought against glass as she said to James, "I am impressed on how long you lasted against me, but all you have done isn't enough, and the other 3 heroes does seem to be much themselves. Maybe they should be your servants sense they don't have what it take, they are partially useless."
"Don't have what it takes!?" Ren said upset by this as Glass was calling him and the other two useless with Itsuki, and Motoyasu upset with his as well as Itsuki said, "Did you just call us…"
"Useless?!" Motoyasu said as suddenly the three Hero charge at her as they all said to her, "Screw you!"
"Wait don't!" James tries to warn them as far as he sees, Glass was in a league of her own. But to their given title by Morgan, the three stooges, they didn't listen and just attack regardless while they each called out their attacks.
"Meteor Slash!"
"Meteor Thrust!"
"Meteor Shot!"
They launch their attacks as Glass, struck and exploded upon impact, but when the smoke cleared, Glass is seen still standing without a scratch as she said, "Is that all you got?"
Before anyone could say anything, Glass as prepared a counter attack as she brought out her fan while opening them as she said while waving them around, "Zero-Stance Rondo: Reverse four seasons!"
Glass glows with an image of a flower behind, as she wave her fans in a slashing motion as beams of light came at the three Heroes and their group, hitting all of them as they were beaten with ease, while James held up his shield to block the attack with Filo and Raphtalia behind him.
Everyone hit the railing of the ship while the other three heroes landed near James's feet, with a potion dropping near his feet, as Glass smirk to this and she said to the three Heroes, "You are but mere servants after all."
James pick up the potion and reads its effect, as it says, "Soul soothing potion- Effects: SP Recovery."
"Better than nothing then," James said with Glass looking at him as she said, "I hope you'll entertain me a little."
James quickly open it and take the potion as his mana was restored before tossing it as he said, "I don't do entertaining, but if you want a fight, I'll give it to you."
"Oh?" Glass said as suddenly James charge at her as he throw his shield calling out, "Boomerang shield!"
The shield throw towards her, as she use her fans to block it, it keep in the air spinning with sparks appearing between the weapons before Glass push it back, as James came up and grab it while coming in close combat with glass as he thought if special attack don't work as well, maybe physical ones would.
Glass was surprise by this as James decided to face her more up close, but nothing she can't handle as she block his attack with her fans, but couldn't make him fall back, as he keep pushing making Glass take a small step back as James called out, "Filo, Raphtalia, Attack now!"
Suddenly Glass found a talon coming at her as she quickly dodge, with Raphtalia swinging her sword at the fan girl, but were blocked with ease, as James came in and slam his shield against her, making her stumble back as she said, "You are something else."
The two side keep on fighting as the other avengers were having a bit of a problem with their own opponent.
Hawkeye was still fighting against Speedy and the two archer seem to be at a stalemate as they keep firing and dodging each other shots as Speedy said, "Pretty good from some wannabe."
"Speedy fire an arrow at Hawkeye, quickly dodging the arrow as he return, "Wish to say the same, but I can't someone as you seriously when you have something on your foot."
"Hu?" Speedy went as Hawkeye came up sudden and fire an arrow near Speedy's feet and exploded out a black sludge of sort that gotten attack to his boots, as he raise a foot just soon it came back sticking to the ground as Hawkeye said to him, "Got you."
He quickly drew another arrow as he took aim and fire at speedy, the red archer duck, quickly pulling out one of his arrows and use the ends to cut the laces to slip out of his boots.
The Arrows hit where Speed was and in turn they detonated small explosions mind you not meant to kill just to bruise. Once Speedy got some distance between him and Hawkeye he fired off one of his pulse arrows at Hawkeye. Hawkeye already had his own Arrow a similar Pulse Arrow and as he two arrows flew at each other they met half way. Their payload in turn went off and caused the two and any nearby things to be blasted back by the collision.
Hawkeye slid on the ground growling in pain as his head was raddled a bit. Speedy was also on the ground but the two were already back on their feet glaring at each other. Hawkeye saw this Speedy guy was good real good with a bow to the point even Hawkeye could see he was on the ropes. It's not everyday Hawkeye found himself being pushed to the limit here against a powerful opponent. Hawkeye then jumped back on his feet and went at Speedy and the two began to use their bows as bow staffs against each other. The two were clearly trying to overpower the other when Hawkeye and Speedy parted. Hawkeye had an arrow notched and in turn fired an arrow at Speedy.
Speedy dodged it and also had an arrow to which he then fired it off at Hawkeye who dodged it as well. But the arrow was an explosive one which sent Hawkeye flying to the side where he crashed.
Hawkeye was going for another arrow only to note his Quiver was missing now. "Looking for this?" Speedy taunted as he held Hawkeye's quiver in his hands. "Time to say goodnight." Speedy said as he reached for another arrow only to note his own Quiver was gone.
"Missing something pal?" Hawkeye asked and in turn punched Speedy in the face knocking him back. "That was for the boxing glove!" Hawkeye said as he glared at Speedy. Speedy held his cheek where Hawkeye punched him before glaring at the opposing Archer. Speedy then opted to use Hawkeye's own arrows against him only to find another Arrow coming at him. Speedy was force to dodge but the Arrow cut the strap of Hawkeye's own quiver freeing it from Speedy's grip. Once this happened Hawkeye took back his quiver and then kicked Speedy in the torso only for Speedy to land near his own quiver.
Speedy took his Quiver and then notched up an Arrow. He then fired it upward as Hawkeye came at him and when it got to the sky it flashed and then rained down destruction on Hawkeye causing him pain when he was blasted around by it. As Hawkeye hit the ground he cursed in pain while glaring intently at Speedy who had an Arrow pointed at point blank range.
(Viv vs Ms. Martian)
The two fighters flew around the sky and in turn Viv saw the explosion and recognized it from the few times Morgan blew up her armors. Viv avoided another attack from Ms. Martian and fired her head beam at the girl who then dodged the attack. Viv looked around but saw no pod being deployed to where Morgan was and in turn realized that someone was jamming the signal somehow. Viv had no other choice so she focused on avoiding Ms. Martian's attacks as she connected to the Sky Stinger to deploy another armor for Morgan.
As she tried to avoid Ms. Martian Viv focused on the signal strength trying to connect to the Sky Stinger. She then smiled when she saw in her vision that the link was established and once she put the coordinates in she hoped Morgan can get her armor fast. She then began the launch and just in time too as Ms. Martian changed her lower body to a serpent one and wrapped herself around Viv trying to restrain her. As Viv struggled for freedom she in turn saw the pod launch from a distance where the Sky Stinger was hidden and made its way to where Morgan was.
(Meanwhile over with Morgan)
Morgan was being towered over by Robin who made sure to keep her restrained so she wouldn't try one of her tricks. This in turn was followed up Morgan glaring back at him when she then noticed a twinkle in the sky and smirked. "Hey Robin can you fly like a robin bird?" Morgan asked as she smirked to Robin.
"Why are you asking such a foolish question?" Robin asked and in turn Morgan smirked wider.
"Because I'm about to make you more like a bird as you fly away to safety." Morgan said and in turn gestured behind Robin. Robin then looked and saw a pod holding one of Morgan's armor inside coming at them. In turn the pod burst apart and from it the pieces of Morgan's armor was released and all flew torts her.
Seeing she was in danger one of the pieces had a gun out and fired down upon Robin forcing him off Morgan. Another one then used a small cutter to free Morgan and in turn she got up. Robin charged at Morgan who then had one of her gauntlets on to which she fired it upon the boy wonder just as the other parts up to her left shoulder attached. Robin was hit and blasted back and in turn Morgan smirked to this and had a perfect idea to make this more appealing.
"Computer put down a sick beat for me to kick this kid's ass too." Morgan said and in turn her armor began to play music on its speakers.
*Insert Another One Bites the Dust by Queens
Morgan then saw Robin was back up and in turn she made a, bring it on, gesture with her unarmored hand just before the gauntlet game on it. Morgan then took a hand to hand stance as Robin saw what Morgan was doing showboating as she always does. Robin then used his weapon to attack Morgan slashing at her but too bad for Robin this armor was made of sterner stuff so she blocked it with the gauntlets and went for a kick. Just before it hit armor covered her left leg and in turn Robin received and armored kick to the side knocking him in that direction.
"Come on." Morgan further taunted as Robin glared at Morgan. He then went for her unarmored part but seeing this Morgan used her repulsers to push herself back and get the rest of her right arms armor on. Once it was one Morgan then used those same repulsers to blast herself up. Morgan smirked down on Robin but before Robin could attack Morgan did a spin kick with her unarmored leg. The armor pieces flew on and thus Robin was forced to block an armored kick that sent him back.
Once Morgan landed the rest of her legs up to her waist was in armor leaving her torso and head bare, but not for long. Robin glared at Morgan and in turn the two began to circle around each other. Acting fast Robin threw his birdarangs at Morgan who then fired at them with her shoulder micro missiles. But the act caused Robin to use the distraction to attack. Morgan blocked a few of the attack until he kicked Morgan in the chest. Morgan flew back right into the back part of her armors torso segment which pushed her torts the front part of it. The only piece missing was the helmet as Morgan smirked at her foe.
"Ok lucky shot but worked in my favor." Morgan taunted as she hoped to get Robin mad. Robin then saw the head piece and in turn had an idea before he ran the opposite direction. "What running and biting the dust already?" Morgan taunted only for Robin to jump off the trees and then kick the helmet segment at Morgan's head making her go wide eyed. "Uh-oh." Morgan said and was then nailed in the head by her own armor where she got knocked down.
*End OST
The music stopped when Morgan hit the ground as Robin walked torts her. "As you can see I'm a quick study." Robin countered Morgan's earlier taunt as in turn Morgan had her own idea.
"Yeah but I can think fast." Morgan said while she began to get up. In turn Morgan used her repulsers to get back on her feet and fired at Robin showing that she had the full Iron-Heart armor on now. Robin dodged the attack and in turn took a battle stance. Robin then did the same only for Morgan to charge at him and grab him before going back to the ship. Robin glared at Morgan trying to get her to let him go and in turn had an idea.
Robin in turn began to put small explosives on Morgan's armor as they got closer to the ship where Jams and Glass were still fighting it out. If Morgan wanted to do this she was going to do it under Robin's terms.
(With Torunn vs Wonder-Girl)
The two girls were still going at it as they flew past each other attacking the other attempting to overpower each other. With each clash it was clear that they were pushing each other to the limit. Wonder Girl knew full well that Torunn was a full-blooded Asgardian while she herself was only 1/3 of an Olympian with her mother being Half-God herself. Still she had a job to do and Torunn was an obstacle in this job as she had an idea on how to win this.
Torunn then charged her power and fired it off at Wonder Girl who then blocked it with her bracelets. When this happened the bracelets absorbed the attack as Wonder Girl held her ground as best she could. Once the attack ended Torunn glared at the Olympian only to see her glaring at the Asgardian.
"What?" She asked after seeing what Wonder Girl managed to do.
"My turn." Wonder Girl said before she slammed the two bracelets together causing a blast of pure power to come forth. Torunn was knocked back by the attack with a cry of pain but Wonder Girl wasn't done. The Olympian girl charged at Torunn and began to send punches at her as they flew sending Torunn back further. Once Torunn was hit enough Wonder Girl grabbed Torunn by her blond locks before punching her in the face and freed her once the punch hit sending her flying back. Wonder Girl was far from done as she then flew ahead and saw Torunn coming at her.
Wonder Girl then grabbed Torunn's cape and began to spin her around building up more momentum. Once she got the sufficient momentum built she threw Torunn at the ghost ship with intention to beat her there.
(Back with James vs Glass)
James and Glass clash against each other, almost on equal ground, soon came to a deadlock with James is struggling to fight against the fan wielding woman, as he was sweating, glass wasn't even winded as she said to him, "Its impressive you are lasting this long, but what I can see right now is that you cannot beat against me or my allies."
"We're not giving us so easily!" James said as he break the deadlock and use some of his shield to use as he then changed shield while calling out, "Shield Prison!"
Glass was encase in a ball of shield as he soon call out, "Change shield!"
Suddenly spikes grew out around the shield prison, including inside of it, hoping that would trap glass in long enough as he knew he cannot fight her like this even one on one, he needs the other avengers
"Change shield! Air Strike shield! Second, third, fourth! Shields!" James called out as four air strike shield surrounded the spike shield prison, holding it in place as he hope this would buy him time to do what he needs to do as he look over to Azari facing against Beastboy, as the guy was now a Rhino as he charge at Azari.
James jump in front of Beast boy and block the horn, stopping the green skin shape shifter in his place as he call out, "Azari! Strike now!"
"You got it!" Azari said as he leap up over James with his staff in hand gotten on beast boy back and unleash his power, with his skin glowing, let out a discharge of electricity, shocking Beastboy while he was still in his Rhino form before Azari let off and leap off of Beastboy, with the guy change back and collapse with a smoke coming off of him while he twitches a bit as Azari said, "That should keep him out from the fight."
"You go help Hawkeye, I'll help Morgan," James declare as Azari nodded as they went off to help their friends.
(Hawkeye)
"Any last words?" Speedy said as it seem like he was planning on taking Hawkeye down for good as the archer teen saw something lucky the mask/glasses James made for him covers that as he said, "Yea, aim for the head."
"What are you…?" Speedy started to say but heard something coming up quickly turning to see Azari upon him with his staff over to the side and swings it at Speedy as he quickly ducks, just in time to see Hawkeye had a mini crossbow in his gauntlet, no doubt made by Morgan with a strange pellet ready on it as he said, "Sleep tight."
The crossbow fire shooting the pellet in Speedy's face unleash a gas of sort as speedy back away while coughing up a storm before he looking a bit dizzy or tired before he collapse down as Hawkeye smile to this victory as Azari asked, "If you had that the entire time, why did you use it?"
"It's one shot and that guy would have seen it coming unless it was more up close," Hawkeye said as Azari help him up and he said to the archer, "Alright then, we need to help the others quickly."
"I got miss wonder, you can help Pym or Skaar if he needs it?" Hawkeye said as Skaar is seen coming down hard shaking the ship a bit with burn and brush mark as they heal up, he stood up and yells out as he said, "Skaar is mad at green eye girl for not holding still!"
"On second thought never mind on him," Hawkeye said as Azari said, "I second that, I'll join up with Pym."
(With Morgan)
She didn't know how long she was struggling with the bird boy, as her suit pick up the bomb that he place on her, and knew fi she return to the ship the thing would most likely blow up on her as the boy didn't seem like a suicide type he most likely has a trigger than a countdown for it to.
Suddenly on her coms as her suit amplifies the signal to overpowering the jammer no doubt is on the ship as she picking up a signal as she hears James, "Morgan, what's your situation?"
Morgan set up a silent mode on her coms, and mute her speakers on the outside of her suit so she can talk to James privately as she said as quite as she can, "I'm in the middle of the air with the Robin boy hanging onto me, and I have a bomb on my back, I can't return back or else I risk blowing myself to bits."
"I have a plan, but can you give me a clear shot at it?" James aid as Morgan smile as she said, "I think I can do that."
"Hey what are you planning?" Robin question Morgan as he didn't know what she was saying, as she turn her speakers back on while give a smirk sound under her helmet and said, "Oh, nothing but this."
Morgan suddenly point her repulsers in different directions and started the spin around, with Robin holding on tightly as he can while Morgan was spinning him around, as she held her breath and her stomach to go faster and faster until Robin grip came loose enough for Morgan to get pull him off her back and dangle him upside down by his foot as she said, "The bomb's clear!"
Robin quickly reach for the trigger as he was about to press it, with James shield suddenly flew towards them, skimming across Morgan's back, knocking the explosive device off of her, blowing up midair as she gotten away from it just in time.
Morgan suddenly throw Robin towards the ship as she knew what James was about to do, as Robin landed on the ship and onto his feet, quickly came to see James in front of him with a hand wide open as it seem to catch something as he quickly realize what he's doing and said, "A Pincher attack?"
"You got it," James said as the shield return back to him, Robin acted quickly as he leap up to dodge it the shield, but as he did. Morgan was already near him as she aim her repulsers at him and said, "Nighty-night brat!"
Fire the repulsers and sent Robin across the ship and hit into the mass knocked out as Morgan came over to him as James look to the katana wielding kid as Morgan said, "Don't worry, he just out, hopefully long enough to end the wave."
"I think Viv might need your help above," James said as Morgan asked him, "What are you going to do?"
Suddenly from James's shield prison and air strike shield were blow away by an attack from the inside, revile Glass as she was okay with no mark on her as James said, "I'll deal with glass, as soon as you can, get the sky stinger here ready to retreat and get everyone on board if you can."
"I'll do what I can," Morgan said as she took off and help Viv with her opponent as James turn to face Glass as she saw what had happen as she said, "Very cleaver trapping me in that thing to help your friends."
"Yea, and soon enough we will beat your friends and then it will be you next," James said as he gotten ready for another round as he pull out another potion and drank it to recover his energy as Glass said, "Maybe but you think you can stop me before that happens?"
"Only one way to figure it out," James said as he charge at glass as she smile and taken a stance to face James as they clash once more.
Shield met fans as it wasn't hard for James to figure out that Glass was well verse in martial arts. More specifically the part of martial arts that utilized fans as a weapon. As they went at it James threw his shield at her to which Glass leaned her body avoiding it. The Shield hit the wall and began to fly back at Glass. But Glass was ready as she then jumped and spun in the air to avoid the attack. James charged in and caught his shield before slamming it into Glass once she was on the ground again.
Once Glass was seen stumbling back James glared at Glass. But as he did so he saw her HP was barely taking much in terms of damage despite his successful attacks. It was clear Glass was strong in the defense department but that didn't mean James was going to give up so easily.
Glass then set up her next attack when needle like blades came out of one of her fans. She then closed it turning it into an energy blade of a violet color. Once that was done she pointed the blade at James who went wide eyed to this. "Rupture Stance Rondo: Tortoise Shell cracker!" Glass invoked and thus fired a beam at James. James blocked it with his vibranium Shield as best he could. But then to his utter shock the shield was pierced and in turn James was sent flying back from it.
"Interesting." Glass said as James held his ground after a few feet and glared at Glass. "Even that's not enough to bring you down." Glass said as she looked to James. "If nothing else your defense lives up to your title as hero." Glass said as James glared at Glass.
"I can do this all day." James said as he glared at Glass.
"Perhaps you can... but I cannot say the same for your allies." Glass said as she raised her fan to the sky. In turn from out of nowhere beams of energy came down upon them making James go wide eyed.
"What?!" James called out as he in turn saw a ship fly down and begin to attack.
The ship was careful as it fired its weapons down making sure to avoid any casualties during this. As this progressed James hid behind his shield and in turn saw the damage being done.
(Hero Battles)
The Iron Clad girl and the android glared at the Martian girl as she looked ready to fight. "Got you now!" Morgan called out until she and Viv cried out when they were hit by the ship. The two went flying down to crash as it was evident Morgan and Viv were blindsided.
"Morgan!" Viv called out and flew to her. Luckily Morgan managed to fix herself and in turn stated flying to avoid the Bio ship. But it was clear that the Avengers were all losing now as one by one the warriors began to overpower them. Hawkeye was trying to help out Torunn but when the Bio Ship hit Miss Martian came in and following her up was Speedy whom were over powering the good guys now. Miss Martian glared at Hawkeye before he cried out while grabbing his head before falling down.
Torunn quickly saw this and was then hit by arrows from behind. She looked and saw Speedy was back up with his arrows ready following up by Miss Martian wrapping her new lower snake body around Torunn. Wonder Girl came in and thus punched Morgan to the ship where she crashed into it. Pym was in his small size trying to fight back but Bumblebee got him and with a proper sting was knocked out cold.
Skaar was on the ground roaring at Starfire only for this biological ship to fly in and fire down on Skaar. Skaar roared in challenge but was clear that this would not be the case.
(James vs Glass)
"NO!" James called out as he saw his team being taken down one by one as it was clear they were NOT going to win.
"I see you care deeply for them." Glass said as James saw this while clenching his fist. "For your sake and the sake of your 'team,' I suggest you surrender now." Glass said as she looked to James who had enough of her now.
"Sorry... but you've made a big mistake." James said as he glared at Glass. "Morgan... I'm sorry." James apologized for what he was about to do. "RAGE SHIELD!" James roared out and in turn the Rage Shield reappeared but larger and now sporting armor on James himself.
"Oh?" Glass asked as she saw the new Shield show up.
James roared out as he felt the power of the Rage Shield flow through him. "No... I won't... let it... rule me." James growled as he glared while gritting his teeth. As James held on he felt different from the last time he used the Rage Shield. It was an odd feeling but the more James felt it the more it felt calming. It was then he realized what it was... it was the Patience Shield while not active somehow it was tempering the Rage Shield.
Wait Rage no Wrath one of the Seven Deadly Sins and its counter balance Patience one of the Seven Divine Virtues. But James didn't have time to look deep into it as his body was showing the crimson Marks of the Rage Shield. "SHIELD PRISON!" James invoked intend on ending this ASAP. In turn Glass was covered in the Shield Prison but there were no signs of her struggling. "CHANGE SHIELD!" James called out and once more Glass found herself in the same position as before.
"WITHIN THIS VIRGIN OF COLD ORE!" James began to invoke as the Dragons voice mixed with his own. "WE SHALL SWALLOW EVEN YOUR WICKED SCREAMS WITH HER EMBRACE! SUBMIT IN ANGUISH AS YOUR ENTIRE BODY AS YOUR ENTIRE BODY IS STABBED AND SKEWERED FOR YOUR SINFUL WAYS!" James invoked as he began to finish this off. "I CAST THE IRON MAIDEN!" James invoked and in turn the sky once more split open only this time from the power of the Curse Series.
Seeing this Morgan began to put the pieces together as did Torunn. "Of course." Torunn said as she saw it. "The Curse that punishes the wicked and the blessing that defends the innocent!" Torunn called out as she looked to the scene before her.
From the stormy dark sky the Iron Maiden descended from above. Glass's prison was being brought into the Iron Maiden ready to end this once and for all. It seems James was about to steal a victory for his team... at least until something happened. A red flash from the sky and from it red beams of heat came down and sliced through the chains halting the Iron Maiden. From above a blur came down and took Glass prison just before the Iron Maiden could close. With the spell finished James was wide eyed to see a new arrival had made it. It looked to be a young man with blue eyes and shaggy black hair now holding Glass. He had a pair of denim jeans with tears at the knees, red sneakers, a sip up jacket with a large S on it, and finally a red cape. What was also to note was that he seemed to be around the same age as Robin was.
Glass seeing this sighed knowing why the young man did what he did. "Joh... Superboy you didn't have to do that." Glass said as Superboy smiled a bit.
"Sorry about that, Glass, I panicked when I saw all of that and just sort of acted." Superboy said as he scratched his head a bit.
"About time you got here Superboy." Robin said as he rejoined with Superboy and Clark.
"No kidding." Wondergirl said as she landed nearby as well.
"Yeah how about you beat it Brightburn!" Morgan was heard as she came down and fired off her weapons on Superboy. At first smoke covered the area as Morgan smirked thinking she got him. But instead when the smoke cleared Superboy was completely unscathed from it. "What?!" Morgan cried out when she saw this.
"My turn!" Torunn called out as she then brought forth thunder upon her sword and then blasted it at Superboy straight at his chest. When the attack hit Superboy felt the pain but he tanked it as best he could making Torunn go wide eyed in pure shock at seeing this. "No way!" Torunn gasped when she saw Superboy take her power on. It hurt him yet but most other people would be down for the count after that major attack.
James looked at Superboy, noticing he had flinch to Torunn's attack but not Morgan? He knew Morgan attack should have been as effective as Torunn's attack, but it didn't do anything but Torunn attack did if barely, and seeing the bruising from her attack, it shows it did hurt him.
James can only assume magical attack might work against Superboy, but that only a guess and can't act on it, seeing some of his friends are still in trouble as the other team has mostly recover, and they were just as good as everyone else, they needed to retreat now as he said to Morgan in a low tone, "I'm calling a full retreat we cannot fight them as we are."
"Why retreat when we can beat them," Torunn said as James said to her, "The only ways we could possible win if we go all out, but we can't with the other heroes and their parties as they will get caught in the cross fire."
Morgan wanted to argue, but he was right as the only way they could win if they use their strongest attack and it would cause too much damage that other people could get hit by them, and she cannot call back her armor to attack the group unless she want to leave the village unprotected with the wave still going on.
"Well we need to somehow stall her for a moment so we can escape, otherwise we might get cut off," Morgan said as James step up with his rage shield still active as he said to both girls, "Wait for my signal and aim your attack at the other, and few in the air.
James make the flames on his shield burn stronger, as glass said, "You wish to continue with this fight then?"
"I'll do what I have too, and end this fight ends here and now," James said as Glass just smile, as she push Superboy back as she said to him while getting her fans ready for combat, "I'll handle this, please keep out of the fights for now on."
The two stairs each other down for just a moment before James raise his shield and called out, "Attack now!"
Suddenly Morgan and Torunn came up behind James as Torunn fire a stream of lighting, but not as glass, but at Wonder girl as she rise her arms blocks it with her bracelets, but that was just a distraction as Morgan aim her repulers at her mid-section where the bracelets weren't protecting, as they hit, sending Wonder girl across the ship with Torunn, soon turn her lighting attack at Miss Martian in the sky who was still holding Viv with her snack tail from her legs.
Glass and Superboy try to intercept the attack, but James stopped them from getting close as he came up to both of them and swing his shield at them with Superboy felt the flames of the shield, and back away with glass block it with the tip of her fan.
Miss Martian was holding Viv well enough until the sound of lighting came forth, seeing it and quickly phase out, letting the attack pass her, but also releasing her grip on Viv sense the attack wasn't aim directly at her, flew out of the snail tail grip and use her power to grab Miss Martian tightly and user her beam attack, hitting her directly.
Scream out in pain before falling down as Bumblebee was still battling Pym and the other boys that join the fight against her, she hear the scream and saw what happen, she quickly flew over to catch her, but at that moment Morgan was already locking onto her with her weapon and fire a repulers at her knocking her down as well with James push back glass as he called out, "catch them!"
Azari quickly caught Bumblebee, while Pym caught Miss Martian before settling down carefully, as James look at Skaar fight with star fire, he knew the angry giant wasn't going to beat her anytime soon as he order Filo, "Filo, help Skaar."
"Right!" She said before she went off to help Skaar, as Starfire was hitting Skaar a bit unaware what was coming up as Filo suddenly appeared behind her, striking her with her feet, as that knock Starfire off balance a bit with that sudden attack, which given Skaar an opening to grab Starfire and smash her onto the ground a few time before swinging her across poop deck of the ship and crash into the cabin of the ship.
As Skaar was about to keep going to beat Starfire James was heard as the groups leader called out, "Skaar! Forget about her, and destroy this ship! That way you can bean all of them Show them out strong you are!"
Skaar heard James word as Cody soon said to him, "He is right, show them how strong you can be."
Skaar agrees as he said while raising his sword "Skaar is the strongest, Skaar with Slash ship!"
Skaar yells out greatly, with glass tries to stop him, but it was too late as he brought down the sword cut the ship right now the middle, with a wave of force came forth and torn apart the ship.
AS both half of the shield split apart, with one half containing all the cardinal heroes and their parties, but soon enough that half was quickly falling down as everyone acted quickly enough.
"Armor Mach 20 through 30 come here," Morgan said calling forth some of her armors to come by and grab all the other heroes and their party while Morgan and Viv did the same, while Hawkeye caught a ride with Torunn, as Azari was holding onto Hawkeye's foot, and Skaar just leaps off with ease.
Pym shrank down and flew to safely, while James, and Raphtalia ride on the back of Filo's back as it seem everyone was about to run into the side of a mountain, the sky stinger suddenly show up at the last moment with everyone arriving onboard with James soon called out, "Viv get to the controls and Take off fast."
"Understood," Viv said as he phase through the shield until she gotten to the control, put the engine's at max power and flew it out of the area.
Meanwhile with Glass and her party, were on t eh other half of the shield somewhat beaten and knocked down as she said looking a bit upset as she quickly charge up an attack and sent it at the Sky stringer to hopefully shot it down.
Raphtalia heard the attack coming as she said, "Sir James, she attacking right now!"
James quickly moved as he look over and see the attacks coming, quickly throw up his hands and called out, "Air strike shields! Two, three, and four!"
Four of the air strike shield came forth and block all of Glass's attack as the ship flew out of range, but glass wasn't giving up so easily, as she call forth another attack as a blade of energy from her fan came and she shot it towards the sky stringer once more, to hopefully sink one attack.
With the attack coming in fast James raise his shield to intercept it as he use his shield to block it, and using all of his might to send it away, as it struck the side of a mountain, with the sky stinger gotten away.
With Glass as she saw her attack was push away by the shield hero she sighed and said, "It seem even at this distant I cannot defeat him."
"What should we do?" Superboy said to her as she turn around seeing the others were recovering from their fights as she said, "We shall leave for now, they have escape and no position to go after them. Megan if you please."
Miss Martian stood up and nodded as she said, "I'll call her now."
Using some sort of telepathy, she call forth a hidden ship in the sky, as the air seem to shimmer, above before the ship Megan called for became visible to see but it was looking more living like than machine as it suddenly open up strangely, with all the teens around gather and boarded the alien ship, Glass thought while she walk up to the ship as well, "You fought well shield hero, but you won't survive our next encounter unless you grow stronger."
AS Glass enters the alien ship as she turn back to face where the sky stringer flew off too as she said, "Remember this as we shall be the ones to emerge triumphant from the waves."
The alien ship close up and flew up into the sky before vanishing in a flash of yellow light.
(Meanwhile with the Avengers)
With the sky stinger flew over the village that the Avengers were protecting, everyone suddenly heard a sound above, as they look up and saw the Wave was vanishing, turning the sky back into its blue sunny sky self again.
"Is it all over?" Filo asked as Viv began to bring the Sky Stinger in for a landing.
"Yeah it should be." Morgan said as she sat on a random seat she can find.
"What happened why did she allow us to get away?" Raphtalia asked as James glared at where Glass and this bio ship flew off from.
"She was sending us a message." James said as he realized one horrifying thing. "And message was well received." James said not realizing there were others far stronger then he and his friends were out there. The group knew that whoever these new opponents were they were not to be underestimated not in the slightest.
