"Jade, are you alright" Artemis rushes to her sister's aid, asking her. Cheshire slowly opens her to see Artemis by her side.
"Artemis; I'm so sorry" Cheshire says to her.
"It's not your fault" Artemis tells her sister. "You know this is the only time I will tell you this, thank you" Cheshire says Robin. "Um no problem" Robin says.
"Listen I'm going to be alright, you two need to stop Excella" Cheshire tells Artemis who helps her up. "We can't just leave you here" Artemis tells her.
"You have to" Cheshire says. "But" is what Artemis says.
"If Excella's plan succeeds, all life on Earth will die. Don't worry about me, just stop her" Cheshire tells Robin and Artemis.
Both Artemis and Robin look at each other for a second and decide to go to the elevator. As they enter inside; Artemis and Cheshire nod at each other, knowing they will both be alright as the door closes.
"Good Luck" Cheshire says. And with that; Cheshire suddenly collapses again. Her eyes slowly close as she sees three figures in black approaching her. She suddenly hears someone getting attacked while unconscious. Her eyes slowly open as she's a red haired figure approaching her. "I guessing you pick a fine time to take a nap" Red Arrow says.
"Like what you see "Cheshire says in a seductive way while Red Arrow helps her up. "The other one is better" Red Arrow tells Cheshire.
"Always the flirt" she says while Red Arrow just shakes his head.
"So, what are you doing here" Cheshire asks.
"Stop Excella from destroying this planet, and to find um you" Red Arrow tells her. "Red Arrow, I didn't think you cared" said Cheshire.
"Look Artemis wanted me to find you. You're still an assassin after all" Red Arrow tells her.
"Red" Robin contacts him through the earpiece.
"Robin, I'm at the underground chamber with Cheshire. I went to the computer and found the locations. I'm going to one of them" Red Arrow tells Robin over the earpiece.
"I'm coming with you" Cheshire tells Red Arrow.
"We got to stop the launch before the virus destroys the planet"Robin says over the earpiece.
"I'm send you the coordinates on the others" Red Arrow tells Robin over the
"There's something else you need to know. Even though I was brainwashed, I was aware of everything including Excella's plan" Cheshire interrupts.
"The missiles will be launches in groups of four. One missile will have the virus inside of it. The missile will be launched into the sky. Once it reaches to a higher altitude; the missiles will explode, causing the virus the spread through the entire planet" she continues.
"But wait if one of the missiles has the virus in it, what about the others" Red Arrow asks. "The other missiles will make the virus spread more" Cheshire tells him.
"The other missiles explode causing the heat to increase turning liquid into gas" Robin tells Red Arrow over the earpiece.
"We only got twenty minutes left" Red Arrow tells Robin over earpiece. "Then me and Artemis still stop the launch here" Robin says over the earpiece.
"Cheshire and I will take the other one" Red Arrow tells Robin.
"I'm going to bet that the cheap knockoffs will be there as well" Robin says over the earpiece.
"Just as long I get my hands on that Artemis cheap imitation" Cheshire tells Robin.
"Well let's not waste any time" Red Arrow says who presses the button for the elevator door to open. As Red Arrow enters to the elevator; Cheshire notices a duffle bag he is carrying over his shoulder. "What you got there" she asks.
"I found this in one of the lockers. While I was looking for you" Red Arrow hands Cheshire the duffle bag. She opens the bag to see her Cheshire costume, mask, and weapons. "I'm surprise Excella kept this" said Cheshire. "Come on, we don't have enough time" Red Arrow tells her who enters the elevator while she follows.
At the underground hanger; "Understood" Aqualad tells Robin over earpiece. "Ten miles away from the base, how are we supposed to get there" Kid Flash asks.
"You have to go there without me" Aqualad tells Kid. "And leave you here alone with Excella's flunkies" Kid Flash questions him.
"Don't worry about me; you're the only one who can get there fast enough" Aqualad tells him.
One of the armed men is about to fire when Jack stops him. "Come on out you two" Jack says the two young heroes. Aqualad and Kid Flash take look see Jack Krauser and the armed men as they lower their weapons.
"Tell you what if you come out of hiding and surrender; we promise we won't kill you" Jack tells Aqualad and Kid Flash. "Does he think we're stupid" Kid asks. "You know what must be done" Aqualad tells him.
Aqualad and Kid Flash come out of hiding, putting the hands up of sign of surrender. "Wise choice" Jack Krauser says to the two young heroes. Jack looks to each of Excella's armed men as they aim their guns at Aqualad and Kid Flash. "You had no intention to keep your promise did you" KF asks.
"Like I'm going to let you both live. You're naive you little runt" Jack tells Kid Flash. As the armed are about to fire; Aqualad reaches his metallic backpack, grabbing one of his Water-Bearers. He creates a whip which causes the armed men and Jack to block the attack. "Now" Aqualad tells Kid Flash as he takes this opportunity to use super speed to run pass them.
"Stop him" Jack Krauser shouts at the armed men as they go after Kid Flash. As they leave; Jack then focuses his attention toward Aqualad. "I see you decide to stay behind" Jack says to Aqualad. He responds by creating two water-based swords which impresses Jack.
"You want to fight me" Jack asks Aqualad.
"I guess I can spare 19 minutes until life will cease to exist" Jack cracks his knuckles.
Dhabar
December 10, 1:00 UTC+2
A large vehicle is parked on top of the roof 5 miles away from the presidential palace. E. Superboy and E. Miss Martian stand guard, waiting for the countdown to end. E. Superboy's super hearing gets drawn to some loud explosions coming from the background. "We got a problem" E. Superboy tells E. Miss Martian.
"They're going to try to stop us" E. Miss Martian says. "Not going to happen" E. Superboy takes out a RPG. He aims at the Bio-Ship that's heading towards them.
"It looks like Superboy's twin brother is attempting to shoot down the ship" Zatanna tells Miss Martian and Superboy. "Incoming" Superboy shouts as the rocket being fired by E. Superboy head towards them. Miss Martian who is piloting the Bio-Ship manages to avoid the incoming rocket.
"Damn it I miss" said a frustrated E. Superboy. "Let me try" E. Miss Martian says as she flies up. She sees two cars parked on the streets. She lifts the cars up using telekinesis, sending them toward the Bio-Ship. The ship manages to avoid the two incoming cars.
"M'gann; we got to stop the countdown" Superboy tells her.
"Right" M'gann agrees.
"Zatanna, you're going to have to pilot the Bio-Ship. Kid Flash is heading to a launch site 10 miles away from Biayla" Superboy says.
The bottom part of the Bio-Ship opens as Superboy and Miss Martian exits the ship confronting E. Superboy and E. Miss Martian.
"Well, well, it's about time you two show up" E. Superboy says to Miss Martian and Superboy.
"If you're planning to stop Excella's plan, you have to go through us. But you only got 15 minutes left" E. Miss Martian tells them.
Bialya
December 10, 1:12 UTC+2
Artemis and Robin have arrived to the launch site after defeating Excella's armed men on the way. But when they arrived; they only see an anti carrier loaded with four missiles. "No one's here" Artemis looks around. "I get the feeling he's here" Robin tells Artemis.
Suddenly; they hear someone laughing as a grenade lands on the ground where Robin and Artemis are standing. They move away from the grenade but it releases smoke. Robin sees someone is standing near the anti carrier as the smoke starts to disappear. "I had a feeling you were going to show up" said E. Robin.
"But I didn't expect for Artemis join you. I was hoping for my twin to show up" said E. Aqualad who appears behind Robin and Artemis.
"Sorry but you got me to deal with instead" Artemis draws her bow and arrow at the evil Aqualad clone. E. Aqualad creates two water-based swords and notices that Artemis has only four arrows left. "You're low on arrows. You might want to be careful" he tells Artemis.
"Worry about me and Artemis stopping you both" Robin tells E. Aqualad.
Elsewhere; Kid Flash has arrived at the launch site that was 10 miles away from Bialya, but he finds his evil clone along with four of Excella's men armed with Colt 9mm SMGs.
"Were you going to try to stop us all by yourself" E. Kid Flash asks. "End his life now" he tells Excella's armed men. They start shooting at Kid Flash but he uses super speed to avoid them. "Don't just stand there, go after him" E. Kid Flash tells the armed men as they begin the pursuit.
"Robin; I'm at the launch site but ran into a little problem. My doppelganger along with Excella's goons is preventing me to stop the countdown" Kid Flash tells Robin over the earpiece.
"Don't worry, Zatanna is on her way. Just try to hold out until then"Robin says over the earpiece. "Easier said than done" said Kid Flash who looks at the large vehicle with his goggles. He sees the small device which shows the timer has only 14 minutes and 28 seconds left.
Back at Bialya; the anti carrier loaded with the four missiles are aiming at the sky while E. Artemis looks up. She then notices two shadowed figures appearing behind her. "I see you showed up instead of Arty" said E. Artemis who turns around to see Red Arrow and Cheshire who is now back in her costume instead of the battle suit.
"You stop the Artemis cheap knockoff. I'll try to stop the countdown" Red Arrow tells Cheshire. "I have no problem with that" Cheshire agrees.
"That won't happen" said a male voice. Red Arrow and Cheshire both look back to see HUNK is behind them. "Another of Excella armed flunkies" said Red Arrow.
"I assure you I'm nothing like those flunkies" HUNK tells Red Arrow who draws his submachine gun at him.
Cheshire glares at E. Artemis as she takes out her sword. E. Artemis secretly takes out a combat knife which she begins going after Cheshire while HUNK starts shooting at Red Arrow.
Inside the underground base at Biaya; four of Excella's armed men are watching the countdown on the computer as it shows 14 minutes left. "Yes Wesker" one of the armed men responds as he receives an incoming call through the earpiece.
"Head back to TRICELL"Albert tells the armed man over the earpiece. "But what about the others" the armed man asks Wesker.
"They will make sure everything goes according to plan. Just make sure you bring the cryogenic pod with the TRICELL symbol on it" Wesker tells him.
"Alright, Wesker wants us to head to TRICELL and to take cryogenic pod with us" the armed man asks the other armed men.
"What about the others" the other armed man asks.
"Don't worry about them. They will get the job" the armed man tells him. The four armed men head to the room unaware that a boom tube opens behind them. They turn around and are surprised as an electrified bola hits one of them. One of the armed men tries to fire but he gets hit with an ice blast and the other two gets attacked by Mammoth and Blockbuster as they both step out of the tube. As the armed men are knocked out; Icicle Jr., Shimmer, and Deathstroke steps out of the tube as well.
Deathstroke looks at the computer to see the timer to the countdown shows 13 minutes are left. The others head to the room as Icicle Jr., opens the door which turns out to be a large freezer-like room. "You might want to see this" Icicle Jr. says.
Deathstroke heads to the room where Icicle Jr. and company are to see three cryogenic pods. He approaches two of them to see Queen Bee and Psimon in them. "I had a feeling Excella was keeping them" Deathstroke said.
"Take them both" Deathstroke tells Mammoth and Blockbuster. "What about this one" Icicle Jr. asks Deathstoke who points to the pod with the TRICELL symbol on it. "Well since Excella and Wesker stole from the Light; the Light will steal from them" Deathstroke tells Icicle Jr.
At Dhabar; Superboy tries to stop the countdown but E. Superboy tackles him to the floor. E. Miss Martian shape shifts into a serpent as she wraps around Miss Martian, trying to squeeze the air out of her. Miss Martian counters as she grows additional arms grabbing her evil clone by the neck. This causes E. Miss Martian to release the hold she had on M'gann.
"M'gann; what the status of the countdown"Robin contacts her over the earpiece.
"Not good, there's only 11 minutes left. The evil clone of me and Superboy are determined on stopping us" Miss Martian tells Robin over the earpiece.
"They're making sure Excella's plan is successful. We can't let that happen"Robin tells her.
Back at Biayla; Artemis tries to hit E. Aqualad with a trick arrow but he strikes it with his water-based sword. Robin attempts to disable the countdown but his evil clone recovers, striking him with an electric rod. Robin quickly recovers as he and Artemis regroups while E. Robin and E. Aqualad stand near the anti carrier, protecting it.
TRICELL Laboratory
December 10, 1:17 UTC
Albert Wesker is by the holographic computer looking at countdown as it shows only 9 minutes left.
"Albert; we have a problem" said Excella who approaches Wesker. "It hasn't arrived yet" Wesker says to her.
"They should've brought it by now" Excella says.
At the underground hanger in Bialya; Jack slams Aqualad to the floor. Krauser then places his knee on Aqualad's neck putting pressure on it. "You honestly think a little punk like yourself can take me on" Jack tells Aqualad who struggles to get the hold off him. "Jack; we have a problem"Excella contacts him from his earpiece.
"Little busy here" Jack tells her over the earpiece.
"Wesker ordered his men to return to TRICELL with a very special project but they haven't showed up yet. Head to the cryogenic room and inform HUNK on the way"Excella tells Jack.
"But what about the missiles" Jack asks Excella.
"Don't worry about that. My operatives will take off it. Just call HUNK and inform him"she tells Jack over earpiece.
"You're lucky" Jack tells Aqualad who releases the hold on him. Aqualad slowly gets to his feet to see Jack Krauser leaving. "We're not done yet" Aqualad shouts.
"Oh we are done. I got business to attend to, so I'm going leave you here and let you watch as life on this planet will die" Jack tells him as he throws a flash grenade near Aqualad. It releases a bright light which temporary blinds Aqualad.
Back at the launch site in Bialya; HUNK takes out a handgun and it about to shoot Red Arrow who is down. "HUNK; stop what you're doing" Jack contacts Mr. Death over the earpiece.
"Now's not the time" HUNK tells Jack over the earpiece. "Excella wants you and me to go to the freezer storage"Jack says over HUNK's earpiece.
"What about her operatives" HUNK asks.
"They'll get the job done. Excella has a backup plan"Jacks tells HUNK. Mr. Death starts to walk away as Red Arrow gets to his feet. "I see you're walking away" Red Arrow says to HUNK.
"You should worry about your little girlfriend being killed than with me" HUNK tells Red who continues to walk away.
"I'm not going to enjoy this. Well maybe a little" E. Artemis tells Cheshire who places her in a chokehold. "Let her go" Red draws his bow and arrow at E. Artemis. "Aw are you worried about your girlfriend? How about I put more pressure on her" E. Artemis says to Red Arrow who applies more pressure on Cheshire's neck.
Cheshire secretly takes out a small stealth knife, stabs it on E. Artemis' stomach which cause her to release the chokehold.
E. Artemis walks back away from Cheshire and Red Arrow as she slowly takes the knife out of her stomach. "I can't believe you stab me with this cheap ass butter knife" an angry E. Artemis tells Cheshire.
"You're all alone" Cheshire tells E. Artemis. "So, it won't matter. You only have five minutes left" E. Artemis tells Red Arrow and Cheshire.
Ten miles away from Bialya; E. Kid Flash stands alone protecting the anti carrier. "I'm not going to let you two stop Excella's plan. So, why you two just stand there and watch the fireworks" E. Kid Flash tells Zatanna and Kid Flash who approach him.
"Look you there's not going to be any fireworks" Zatanna tells E. Kid Flash.
"You're feistier than Artemis. How about when this is all over you and I go on a date" E. Kid Flash gives Zatanna a smirk.
"Shut the hell up" Kid Flash shouts as he uses super speed to knock E. Kid Flash down but he avoids using the same speed. "Wols Nwod eht enolc retsdeeps" Zatanna casts a spell which creates a pool of quicksand. Not realizing it; E. Kid Flash runs into the pool which causes him to stop and slowly sink as well.
"Hey no fair" said E. Kid Flash who struggles to get out of the pool of quicksand. Kid Flash approach the evil clone speedster, kicks him in the face, knocking E. Kid Flash out.
Kid Flash and Zatana head to the anti carrier and see that the countdown is down to 4 minutes. He opens up the small device for the timer to see five wires in different colors. "Um okay which wire is it" Kid Flash struggles to cut the right wire.
"Can I try" Zatanna asks Kid Flash who was about to cut the yellow wire. "Tuc eht thgir eriw" Zatanna casts a spell as the blue wire is magically cut off, stopping at 3 minutes and 50 seconds.
"I didn't know you can do that" said Kid Flash. "Yeah this is my first doing that. I'm surprised it actually work" Zatanna tells him.
"Robin" Kid Flash contacts him over the earpiece.
Back at Dhabar; E. Superboy attempts choke the life out of Superboy while E. Miss Martian hovers around the building. "Quit hiding little sister" E. Miss Martian says as she looks for Miss Martian.
"She's probably camouflaged" E. Superboy tells her while he still has Superboy in a chokehold. E. Superboy then takes out a combat knife placing it near Superboy's throat. "I-guess you're nothing like me" Superboy says to the evil Superboy clone. Miss Martian suddenly appears before E. Superboy still in camouflage mode. Her eyes turn green as she attempts to enter E. Superboy's mind.
E. Superboy suddenly starts to feel pain on his head as he starts to lose his grip on the combat knife. "She's here" E. Superboy shouts. Superboy takes this opportunity and uses the back of his head to hit E. Superboy in the jaw. Miss Martian then uses telekinesis to lift E. Superboy up, sending him flying to E. Miss Martian and both landing on the ground.
Miss Martian looks down to see the evil clones of Superboy and Miss Martian are out cold.
Back at Bialya; Artemis gets taken down by E. Aqualad who then places his water based sword near her chest. "You lost" E. Aqualad tells Artemis. E. Aqualad looks down on the ground to see a shadowed figure approaching him. He looks to see E. Robin walking towards him. "I see your brother didn't stand a chance like always" E. Aqualad says but he suddenly notices E. Robin walking slower.
"Richard; are you alright" E. Aqualad asks E. Robin but he suddenly collapse to the ground as Robin was standing behind his evil clone. "He's not looking so good" Robin tells E. Aqualad.
"That's not possible. How did you defeat him" a surprised E. Aqualad asks Robin. "I gave him some pointers" Artemis tells E. Aqualad who proceeds to leg sweep him. E. Aqualad tries to recover but Robin throws a bola at him. Robin and Artemis head to the anti carrier while E. Aqualad struggles with the rope.
Robin quickly opens up the small device, using wire pliers he cuts the wire as the timer stops 56 seconds. "Countdown has been stopped" Artemis says. "Not quite I haven't heard from Red Arrow" Robin tells Artemis.
At the second site at Bialya; E. Artemis is alone but she's able to defend herself against Red Arrow and Cheshire. This causes both Red and Cheshire to temporary to regroup.
"You two might…as well give up. " There's only 40 seconds left until doomsday and all life on Earth will die" E. Artemis tells Red Arrow and Cheshire who tries to catch her breath.
"You're right, you're absolutely right. Even though three of the anti carriers have been stopped; we can't possibly stop the last one on time" Red Arrow tells E. Artemis.
"So we'll leave. You won" Cheshire says to E. Artemis. Red Arrow and Cheshire both start to leave. They pass the anti carrier and look at the small device which shows 25 seconds left and suddenly stop. Red Arrow and Cheshire turn around looking at E. Artemis. "What are you waiting for" E. Artemis asks. "This" Cheshire quickly turns to E. Artemis as she throws a smoke bomb to the ground. "Nice try Jade, but you're too late" E. Artemis tells Cheshire as there is 16 seconds left on the time.
"It's never too late" Red Arrow tells E. Artemis as punch arrow emerges from the smoke which knocks out the evil Artemis clone. Red Arrow heads to the anti carrier, opening the small device and cuts off the blue wire as the timer stops at 5 seconds.
"Robin; the countdown has been neutralized" Red Arrow says over the earpiece.
"Artemis and I took care of that too"Robin tells Red over the earpiece.
"M'gann and I took care of the one in Dhabar"Superboy says over the earpiece.
Ten miles away from Bialya; "Zatanna and I stopped the countdown and took care of my so called brother" Kid Flash says over the earpiece.
"The only thing we need to do is to find where Excella went"Aqualad says over the earpiece.
"Kaldur; haven't heard from you in awhile. So I guess you took care of that Sportsmaster wannabe" Kid Flash says over the earpiece.
"Not quite. He apparently had other business to attend, he left"Aqualad tells KF over the earpiece.
"So what do we do with our doppelgangers" Kid Flash asks. "How about we ask the Kid Flash cheap imitation" Zatanna suggests as she notices E. Kid Flash getting out of the pool of quicksand.
"Hey" Kid Flash yells at E. Kid Flash who was crawling to escape. "Where's Excella" Kid Flash says as he and Zatanna approach to the Kid Flash doppelganger but he doesn't respond as E. Kid Flash just laughs. "What's so funny" Zatanna glare at E. Kid Flash.
"So, let me guess mission accomplished. You guys going to report this to Batman" E. Kid Flash tells Zatanna. "You lost, Excella lost. So how about tell us where she is? Then after that we'll send you to Belle Rave" Kid Flash says to his doppelganger.
"You're not going to be doing any of that" as E. Kid Flash gets to his feet. "And why is that" Zatanna asks. "This is why" as E. Kid Flash turns to them; he shows them a small remote. E. Kid Flash presses the button and four missiles on anti carrier suddenly launch. Kid Flash and Zatanna look on shock as the missile launch into the air.
"Robin; we got a problem" Kid Flash shouts through the earpiece.
"Yeah I know the missiles launched" Robin tells Kid Flash over the earpiece.
Back at Bialya; Robin and Artemis just witnessed the missiles being launched as well. "Excella must've had a backup plan. I can't believe we lost" Artemis said.
Robin falls to his looking down realizing that all life on Earth will die. Artemis looks at sky in disbelief that they failed their mission. She suddenly sees a blue and red blur flying fast in the sky. "What the hell" a surprised Artemis said.
As the 20 missiles launch to the sky; Superman flies up to one of the missiles. With his super strength Superman sends the missile upward into orbit. "Batman; the missile with the chemical inside is heading to outer space" Superman tells the Dark Knight over the earpiece.
"Make sure you let J'onn and Hal Jordan knows which missile has the chemical"Batman tells Superman.
"J'onn; make sure you phase through the missile with the chemical inside. You should be near it right now" Superman tells Martian Manhunter through the earpiece.
J'onn flies to missile, phasing through it and comes out of it holding small device with 4 capsules surrounding it. "Batman; I got the device but the missile is still active" J'onn tells Batman over the earpiece.
"Superman and I will take care of the missiles"Batman tells J'onn over the earpiece.
Superman heads the next missile that contains the chemical and Green Lantern Hal Jordan uses is ring to create force bubble to surround the final missile that carries the chemical. Superman does the same thing to the missile he did before sending it to orbit. Hal Jordan takes the chemical carrying missile which is surrounded in a force bubble, sending it to orbit.
As Superman and Green Lantern arrived in outer space; the three missiles suddenly stopped and are now floating in space. "I'm going to help Batman destroy the remaining missiles" Superman tells Hal who flies back down to Earth. Hal Jordan uses ring to create a force bubble to surround the three missiles that carries the chemical, heading to the sun. With full force Green Lantern hurls the three missiles directly into the sun which explodes.
Back at Earth; the Batplane along with Superman are near the remaining missiles. "Even though the chemical in one missile has been removed and the 3 missiles that carried the chemical are destroyed. The remaining missiles can do serious damage unless we destroy them" Batman tells Superman over the earpiece.
"Reading you loud and clear" Superman agrees. Suddenly, all of the remaining missiles at same time explode on impact.
"What just happened" Superman asks.
TRICELL Laboratory

"Just a minor setback" said Albert Wesker after pressing button on the computer which caused the missile to self destruct.
"Albert; we have a problem. Jack and HUNK went to the freezer storage. The Light has possession of it" Excella says to Wesker as she enters the room.
"I had a feeling this alliance wasn't going to last" Wesker says.
Mount Justice

"Um, okay so many questions" said a confused Kid Flash. "How did you know Excella had a backup plan" Robin asks Batman.
"I didn't" Batman tells Robin. "We received a call at the Watchtower" said Superman. "Who would call the Watchtower" Zatanna asks.
"Luthor" Superman says in disgust. "How did he get in contact with the Watchtower" Robin asks. "We'll worry about that some other time" Batman tells Robin.
"What's she thinking betraying the Light" Kid Flash asks. "Something doesn't seem right" Batman said.
"About Excella's motives" Robin guesses.
"I get the feeling Excella is not the mastermind behind the evil clones of us, the virus that almost ended life on Earth, and the death of Queen Bee and Psimon" Aqualad says.
"If Excella isn't behind it, then who" Artemis asks.
