"It's them!" said J'onn as he took a step back with Drake, Superman and Batman taking a vigil stance as the white aliens charged forward and began firing their blasters at them. Drake, batman and J'onn ducked behind cover while Superman was struck in the chest by one of the blaster shots, sending the Man of Steel into a tipped truck. Batman took out a batarang which he threw into the air to unleash a bright flash of light then a smoke screen for some cover.

Drake whipped out Ebony and Ivory, firing at the aliens. He then resorted to melee combat when the aliens got close, punching and kicking them before he holstered his guns, and unsheathed rebellion to start slicing and dicing the enemies.

"Shadow, get clear!" Drake turned at the mention of the name Redgrave City had given him. it wasn't his official name, but so people came up with their own and he took one for now until he comes up with something better. Drake saw Superman holding up a tank, and Batman helping an injured J'onn to his Batwing to make their escape. The half-Devil was quick to leap out the way in time for Superman to throw the tank at the aliens which caused a large explosion and enough time to take to the skies for an escape.

"That was close," said Batman.

J'onn however shook his head "We're not safe yet, look," he gestured to the window for the group to see what appears to be a fleet of the alien fighters which opened fire upon them, especially the Batwing.

Drake narrowed his eyes underneath his mask before he sheathed Rebellion and in a flash of blue light, a O-katana that had an ornate bronze guard and a black scabbard with a dark blue cord tied to it appeared in his hand. This was Yamato. Another sword that Drake's father gifted to him when he was a child. (2)

Drake jumped and rapidly slashed the air with his katana, the slashes managing to slice down some of the alien fightsters, before the Cambion landed on his feet and sheathed his katana. Meanwhile Superman came diving in from above and smashed right through one of the fighters before turning around to use his heat vision to slice through another, however an alien fighter came from behind and shot him down to crash into the side of a cliff.

Drake looked up in time to see one of the alien fighters were able to land a shot on Batman's plane to take off one of its wings, sending it careening to the valley below, when suddenly a beam of green energy enveloped the aircraft and held it in midair. Drake traced it to a dark skinned man with a crew cut and glowing green eyes as he wears a black and green bodysuit with the symbol of a green lantern on his chest, and he was wearing a green ring which is the source of the beam.

'Green lantern? What's he doing here?' Drake thought to himself.

A pair of alien fighters were flying towards Green Lantern when someone intercepted and smashed them to the ground. This one is a woman, one who made Drake blush like the teenager he is. If one word could describe was angelical, which was ironic because she had wings. She wore a tight yellow and green spandex costume that hugged her large and juicy thighs. Her top hugged her double D Cup bosom, and when she turned around he couldn't help but look down at her large succulent butt that hugged the suit she wore. Her face was covered by a hawk like helmet with her auburn hair flowing past her shoulders.

'Hawkgirl? Huh, she's more prettier in person.' Drake couldn't help but say mentally to himself before he whirled around and slashed a alien fighter out the air with Yamato, casually sidestepping a piece of it that went right past him. He snapped to attention upon seeing Hawkgirl get knocked down to a ledge from an explosion courtesy of the alien fighter and was about to move in to help when again someone landed before her in defence and this one caught his attention the most. One word was the only way he could describe her:

Beautiful.

She is a beautiful woman with long black hair, she wears a strapless red bustier held up by a brace of gold resembling an eagle and blue briefs with white stars with a golden lasso attached to a golden belt, silver bracers and earrings, a golden tiara with a red star on her forehead, and red boots with white stripes. Drake was in awe as she used the bracers to deflect the incoming shots from the alien fighter before sending them back at it. Drake saw that the aircraft was about to crash into them and quickly reacted, unsheathing Yamato and sending crescent slashes at the aircraft, slicing it to pieces before it hit the women.

They both turned towards Drake who sheathed his weapon and it disappeared in a blue light as Batman lowered the batwing and got out, the others starting to gather there.

At that moment, The Flash showed up holding the blown off wing of the Batwing with a smirk on his face. "Hey Bats, I think you dropped this." He turned around and saw the raven-haired woman, immediately captivated by her beauty as he shoved the blown off wing into Batman's hands, much to his annoyance. "Wow, where have you been all my life?"

"Themyscira." she replied bluntly, not getting the meaning behind his words.

"Huh?" Flash was confused So was Drake as he raised an eyebrow under his mask.

Then Hawkgirl spoke up as she walked over. "The home of the Amazons, I always thought it was a legend,"

"I assure you, it is as real as the ground we stand. I am Diana, princess of the Amazons," said the now identified Diana.

"Pinch me, I must be dreaming…OW!" said Flash only to be elbowed lightly by Superman.

"Themyscira is protected by the gods, but I could not stand idly by while the rest of the world is in danger." Diana continued to explain.

"It was lucky you showed up when you did." Superman said thankfully to the new arrivals.

J'onn spoke. "No…not luck, I telepathically summoned them."

"Look, I'm usually pretty quick on the uptake but would someone please tell me what the heck is going on here?" said Flash confusedly, getting everyone to look at the green Martian.

A couple minutes after Superman helped weld the damaged wing back to the Batwing with his heat vision, J'onn was finally ready to tell them his story.

"We first encountered them a thousand of your earth years ago. It was a golden age, our Martian civilization was at the height of its peace and prosperity. And then…they arrived, where they came from, no one knew but they were determined to make our planet their own. We Martians were peaceful people and the taking of any life was abhorrent to us, we quickly learned the ways of war. For centuries, the battle raged on, every trait of our once glorious civilization was obliterated. We fought valiantly but the invaders were parasites who fed on our psychic energy, as we grew weaker they grew stronger and even absorbed our shapechanging abilities. Finally, a small group of Martian survivors planned one final desperate attack. Inside their underground stronghold, we unleashed a powerful nerve gas which paralyzed them. The attack was successful…but the cost was dear, I was the only survivor…the last of my kind. I sealed up their citadel to keep them in a constant state of suspended animation. For over five hundred years, I stood over them but then while I was in my hibernation cycle, astronauts from earth unsealed the stronghold and accidentally revived the invaders."

Flash spoke up at that. "Wait, those astronauts never said anything about finding life on Mars."

"Hmph, some pen-pusher in Washington probably decided that it should be classified information." said Green Lantern with Flash nodding in agreement.

"I don't think that's the case," Drake said mentally thinking about it.

"What do you mean?" asked Batman curiously.

"These aliens can take the shape of their victims, and place them in those pods we saw back at the facility. It's highly likely one of the astronauts were captured and replaced with one of them being Senator Kelly who pushed for the movement of the disarmament of the nuclear weapons and having Superman be their protector, which could mean one thing…" said Drake, trailing off.

Superman began to pale at the implication and Batman confirmed it. "A small group of the alien invaders were sent to Earth to make it as defenceless as possible for the main forces to arrive with little to no resistance. There were breaches in Earth's deep space monitoring network."

Drake nodded. "Infiltrate Earth by taking to form of someone in the Government, someone with the access to disable any means for Earth to fight back, and then the invasion begins."

"One of the basic strategies of war, disable an enemy's major source of fighting power for a dominant advantage in battle." said Diana with Drake nodding in agreement.

The half-Devil saw that Superman was slowly falling into despair for what he had unintentionally done and quickly spoke to him "Don't lose heart Superman, right now Earth needs us to save it and we'll make sure that these aliens especially the fake senator will pay for what they've done." the Man of Steel slowly nodded in agreement, now's not the time to regret but the time to protect like he had promised.

"We've got to stop them before it's too late." said Green Lantern with anger.

"It may already be too late." J'onn looked over the edge of the cliff with the rest following suit to see a massive cloud of smoke rising from the horizon to the sky.

"What are they doing?" asked Hawkgirl.

"The invaders are nocturnal, they want to blot out the sun so they could live in perpetual darkness,"

"Friends of yours?" Flash asked divertingly at Batman and Drake given that both tend to operate well in the shadows.

"This is no joke." Batman replied while Drake simply chuckled.

"So what's the big problem? You could just whip up some more of that nerve gas, it would be smooth sailing from here." said Flash.

"Unfortunately it's impossible now, the gas requires a rare Martian plant in order to be made. I brought along a sample when I came here, but it was destroyed when I got captured." said J'onn.

"Probably by the invaders who were disguised at that time to be rid of any countermeasures against them." said Batman.

"…Anyone got a plan B?" asked Flash.

"We'll have to take out those factories." said Diana, the others saw it to be a sound plan.

"Lady, this is no job for amateurs," Green Lantern spoke sternly.

Diana turned towards him in anger "We Amazons are warriors born! Want to test me?" Green Lantern was just about to respond when there was a blur of movement and Drake appeared in between them.

"Now's not the time for us to be arguing like this," He said, then he turned to glare at Green Lantern. "And especially not the time to be picky about whether or not one is qualified to participate, J'onn called us here believing that we're the Earth's best chance of salvation. Merely looking at her, I can tell that Diana has been trained from youth for situations like this just like I did, so we're as 'qualified' as you can get, so don't go judging someone you've just met without knowing them completely."

Diana was quite surprised for she had never expected the masked male to come to her defence since she had always been told that men are selfish, arrogant and narcissistic and was prepared for such, but this is definitely a first for her. Green Lantern was a bit put off by what the Cambion said but only frowned before walking past them, that's when Diana spoke to the masked man.

"Thank you." said Diana.

"Your welcome, princess."

"Tactically we have multiple objectives so we'll need to split into teams." said Green Lantern.

"According to the news, there's one in Indonesia, Egypt and Metropolis." said Batman, putting away a handheld device back into his utility belt.

Flash zipped over to lean an arm on Diana's shoulder with a smirk. "Dibs on the Amazon,"

Diana was momentarily surprised by his actions but spoke up nonetheless. "Actually, I would like him to be my partner," she pointed at Drake who was surprised but inwardly felt happy.

"I'm okay with it." He replied with a shrug.


Drake stood beside Diana and Batman hiding behind some pillars, while one of those strange alien walkers trekked across the sand, scanning for possible life. While they were in Egypt, GL and Flash journeyed somewhere in South America, Superman and Hawkgirl in Metropolis. Drake looked watching as lightning danced across the clouds, worried if the same was happening in Redgrave City.

"Hiding like cowards is not the Amazon way," said Diana with a frown, getting Drake's attention.

J'onn was currently scouting for them, though Ragna wondered why the Martian didn't just use his X-Ray vision to see if there was an opening.

"They must have a weakness, when we find one we'll strike." Batman stated scanning the area. Diana looked like she was about to protest but chose not to, instead she chose to looked at the red-coat masked male with them. Her eyes looked over the sword across his back.

"That's a fine weapon." She commented.

Drake looked at her before looking away. "Thanks."

"Who made it?" Diana asked curiously.

"My father. I use it to hunt down demons and monsters." Drake explained.

"You're a demon and monster slayer?" Diana asked. Batman watched them out of the corner of his eye, curious to know as well but he didn't show his curiosity nor show that he was listening in.

Drake nodded. "Been fighting demons for a couple of years now. Started crime-fighting a year ago. Still haven't come up with a good name, so the town just calls me Shadow for some reason. I'll use it until I come up with something."

Diana watched him, curious and intrigued by this masked male. She couldn't tell what he looked like or how old he was due to the mask.

That was when J'onn rose from the ground before them and becoming tangible. "I have scouted the outer walls, there are no openings."

"Then we make our own!" Diana took off ahead of the others, J'onn and Drake were about to go after her when Batman stopped them, much to their confusion.

"Wait, let's see what she can do," said Batman.

They watched as Diana took out a golden lasso then quickly descended to avoid a laser blast from the alien walker, she twirled it in midair before throwing it to rope one of the legs. Diana flew around the legs a few times then pulled hard to draw them together as it lost its balance and smashed into the wall of the factory, leaving a gaping hole.

"There's your opening!" said Diana before flying inside.

"I pity anyone that pisses her off." Drake commented, getting nods of agreement from J'onn and Batman, before the trio went after Diana and found her deflecting laser fire from the aliens with her silver bracers before running deeper into the factory. Such action was rather displeasing to her.

"They run like cowards, what are you waiting for?!" Diana flew in pursuit with J'onn close behind.

Drake paused and looked at Batman. "Notice it as well?" He asked, getting a silent nod from Gotham's dark knight. Both noticed how the invaders avoided the sunrays like their very lives depended on it.

Drake and Batman walked on after the others and soon found themselves engaging the aliens once again.

Drake whipped out Ebony and Ivory, shooting at the aliens, before he switched to using Rebellion and started slicing and dicing.

Another part of the factory's wall opened up to reveal a group of aliens which came running and began firing at the masked Devil. However, Diana flew in between them and was deflecting the incoming shots away from her ally, Batman provided support by hurling explosive batarangs to take most of them out. J'onn appeared from behind the remainder with his ghostlike powers to ambush them. Before they could even relax, another passage opened for another squad of invaders to come running in and shooting at them.

"They blocked us off again!" said Diana.

"It's almost as if they know what we're thinking," said Batman, throwing an explosive batarang to force the aliens to scatter.

"Any ideas J'onn?" Batman asked but notice that the Martian eyes were glowing. "J'onn?"

"Superman and Hawkgirl are down. They have failed." J'onn informed after his eyes stopped glowing.

"What? Are you sure?" Diana asked concerned, J'onn nodded.

"Then we have to hurry up and destroy this factory so we can go and rescue them!" said Drake, getting agreements from the others.

"This way, hurry!" J'onn flew through a passageway with Batman and the others following close behind, they hurried through winding tunnels as the openings were sealing themselves to obstruct their path.

Flying up, or in Batman case grappling up to another entrance, Diana turned around ready to pull Drake up only to see him jump up and join them.

"Never skipped leg day." Drake joked as they caught up with J'onn.

"We've lost them." Diana said checking if they were coming back. Drake tried to sniff if any were close but honestly the whole place smelled like them so it was very hard to pinpoint where they were.

"For now." Batman said as he pulled out some sort of shock brace knuckles.

"Look." J'onn said as the others rejoined him, pointing towards what appeared to be some red dome in the center of the large room. "It's the center core." Drake scanned the room and notice dozens of those Imperiums typing on some weird alien computer.

"How do we shut it down?" Batman asked.

"The Ion Matrix Crystal. If we can remove that it will shutdown the entire plant." J'onn explained it. "I'll need a diversion."

"You got it." Batman said throwing a batarang across the room, slicing open some tube and spilling out on some strange black ooze that landed on some aliens. Diana grabbed a tube nearby and yanked it off, releasing some smoke. That was more than enough for J'onn as he turned ghostlike and phased into the ground and head towards the crystal whilst Drake, Batman and Diana kept the aliens busy.

J'onn reappeared near the chamber and quickly grabbed a distracted alien and tossed him over the edge to the ground below, then he went to grab the red crystal and take it out of the chamber. Suddenly the entire factory began to quake with parts of it exploding, however J'onn was unaware for a white alien appearing from a ledge above and shot him with its blaster, he let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground along with the crystal.

"J'onn!" Diana quickly knocked away the surrounding and quickly flew over to him.

"Get him out of here!" Batman called out as he punched an alien with his electrified brass knuckles.

"We'll cover you!" Drake added as he whipped out Ebony and Ivory, shooting at the Imperium.

Diana nodded in affirmation and quickly flew away from the fight, however one of the aliens pushed a button on the nearby control as the passage ahead began to seal itself up. Drake jumped and grabbed the crystal as Batman swung over with his grappling hook. The two ran for the passage but it sealed shut before they could get out in time.

The two heroes turned to face the aliens and saw many of them with blasters aimed at them.

"Shadow! Batman!" Diana realized that they didn't make to the other side and was rushing back to save them, but as she got close, there was the sound of laser fire with the wall bulging several times…and then there was silence "Nooooooo!" her eyes widened in disbelief at what had just happened and still wanted to go and help had it not been for J'onn stopping her from going any further.

"Wait! There's nothing we can do more for them!" said J'onn.

"You mean they're…" Diana couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence.

"…gone," J'onn finished for her with sadness.

Diana could only look back at the sealed tunnel with sorrow, especially for the masked warrior who was friendly and cooperative unlike the stories of men which her mother would tell her of.

"Hera, help us..."


And that's it for this chapter. Now Drake may seem weak right now and not doing much, but he hasn't awakened the Devil within. Rebellion is still in dormant form, and will awaken when Drake is eventually stabbed with the sword. Right now, Drake's as strong as DMC 3 Dante before Dante's Devil power awakened thanks to Rebellion.
