July 6, 1970 - Peña Duro Prison, Santa Prisca
Harley Quinn laid in the bushes of the jungle waiting for the assault to start. She, Poison Ivy, Deathstroke, Killer Frost, and Nightshade was to lead a group of rebels to the prison's West wall. As they waited Harley Ivy used her powers to grow flowers on a tree. "What ya doing Red?"
"Letting plants thrive in this world." Ivy answered as Deathstroke walked towards them.
"On Bane's signal, Ivy make a plant bridge, Nightshade take down the wall. Frost freeze the towers. Everyone else fired your guns at the Santa Prisca troops." Deathstroke ordered as Harley grabbed her bat.
"What's the signal?" Frost asked and a large explosion erupted at the Prison entrance.
"Go!" Deathstroke yelled and the team charged. Ivy created a tree bridge while Nightshade blasted the wall. Frost froze the watchtowers. Harley pulled out a gun and fired randomly at the prison guards. It was chaos. The guards were slaughtered. Within minutes the prison fell. Prisoners rioted and began to kill each other. Bane stood on a broken car.
"Prisoners of Peña Duro! I am Bane! I was once a prisoner of this prison same as you! Now I am fighting for the liberation of Santa Prisca! Many of you once had the same dream! Now is the time to revive that dream! Free Santa Prisca!" Bane yelled to the cheering prisoners.
July 6, 1970 - Santa Prisca
Nightshade was in the back of the truck as they returned back to Banes's HQ. It started to rain and she looked at the men and women around her. She saw Copperhead lean on Bane. She saw the woman take Javelin to her home last night. Now she was getting with her boss. "What is it with you Copperhead? I saw you with multiple men and women last night and before we left for the mission."
"My wife and I have an open marriage. So lust isn't what breaks us." Bane remarked and a few eyebrows were raised.
"And if you have kids?" Harley asked. "After all you might have a kid with another man or woman?"
"We have that taken cared of." Copperhead answered as she kissed Bane's mask where his mouth would be.
July 6, 1970 - Presidential Palace, Capital City, Santa Prisca
"How the hell did Bane free all of the prisoners?" President Hector Lain yelled at General Lorenzo Cruz after hearing of the devastation of Peña Duro. Dozens of revolutionists whose loyalties are to the capitalist, monarchies, anarchies, and religious systems were held there. Now he was in danger of a larger uprising than any before.
"Find Bane and send every soldier, armor, and plane we got after him." Lain ordered as he grabbed an apple from his desk. "This little war of his is going to end with his death. Until then raze another village and frame it on Bane."
"Yes Mr. President." the General replied.
July 6, 1970 - Bane Cartel Hideout, Alanlas, Santa Prisca
Red Hood handed a sixteen year old rebel an AK-47. He remembered when he was twelve. When he stole the tires off the Batmobile. How he was pushed into this system of chaos to be the second Robin. Then Joker's 1964 Dirty Bomb threat. He was stopped but Jason Todd was tortured and died only to be resurrected by Ra's al Ghul. Red Hood then hunted down criminals to find Joker and kill him. But was stopped by his old mentor, Batman. Now he was working cartel rebels. To train the bastards.
Cupid fired her arrows at the target and saw only bullseyes. Her skill with the bow was increasing. Inside her, Cupid hoped that it would impress her love, Green Arrow. When she collected her arrows, she heard the break of a twig. She turned to see Javelin. "What is it?"
"The boss wants us." Javelin answered as he left the archer alone.
"Okay we got a new assignment." Flag reported to the Squad in Bane's command center. "The Santa Prisca Air Force razed a village in the South today using B-26 Invaders. Our mission is to reach the enemy base and destroy their bombers, fighters, and transports."
"So the entire Santa Prisca Air Force." Bloodsport remarked.
"Yeah. The entire SPAF." Flag answered. "Now let's move."
July 6, 1970 - Santa Prisca Air Force Base, Santa Prisca
The night shadows covered the team's assault well. Flag overlooked the base and spotted the B-26s, Hawker Sea Furys, and C-54 Skymasters. Security was limited to the Corto Maltese PT-76s. An easy attack. Flag turned to his men. "Ivy. Make the base more green." Flag ordered and Ivy raised her green hand. Soon the giant vines of plants were overrunning the base. They saw explosions and the base was destroyed. "Let's move." Flag ordered and the team began to move. As they walked to the trucks, Flag heard a rustle in the jungle. He turned to see the barrel of a rifle. Then the bullet.
When Flag went down, Cheshire grabbed her sai and readied for battle. She saw an armored warrior that was similar to Deathstroke's but had no orange markings and had two eye sockets. Cheshire wondered who the stranger was. "You have five seconds to tell me who you are." Katana ordered and the man laughed.
"Jackal." the man answered and Deathstroke lowered his pistols.
"Grant?" Deathstroke asked.
"Who the hell is Grant?" Heatwave asked.
"My son." Deathstroke answered.
"Will he surrender?" Cheshire asked.
"Never." Deathstroke answered and Jackal threw a cylinder object on the jungle floor before jumping off the cliff. "Run!" Deathstroke yelled and the Squad while the mercenary kicked the object over the cliff. It exploded and the inferno was larger than any grenade or IED Cheshire has ever seen. Soon they reached the trucks only to find that an armored soldier using an M2A1-2 Flamethrower to burn down the trucks.
"Oh fuck no." Red Hood said before he fired his pistol at the soldier's neck. The soldier dropped dead and the flamethrower ceased firing.
"What the hell are we post to do now?" Javelin asked as Deathstroke reached the team. Deathstroke kneeled next to the fallen soldier.
"We need to run." Deathstroke answered as he stood back up. "Grant started the Jackals. An ASIS Task Force was designed by me but never got the green light. I told Grant about it once and he has admired it since."
"How bad is this Task Force?" Bronze Tiger asked.
"The question you should ask is how good we are." Jackal answered as he walked to the group, but Cheshire heard more footsteps. More men were around them. "You're surrounded. Surrender and the Cubans might let you live."
"Sorry son, but that's not possible." Deathstroke remarked as he dropped a smoke grenade and the jungle was covered in smoke. "Scatter!" Deathstroke ordered and the Squad separated. Cheshire raced into the jungle slicing Jackal's necks with her sai.
