James' Harem 2
Chapter 68
Will Markovia Burn?
Rachel was soaring in the air, using her magic to scan her fifth of the country, her magic glowing from her eyes as she was searching the bomb. The place was... Massive to say the least
Markovia was a large country after all
"Raven to Cyberian, my scans of the city are showing signs." She spoke through the communicator to give a recon. "I'm near a fishing village, it is small anr remote. But my magic has located the same compound that was within the first bomb is somewhere here."
"Great work, Raven. Be careful up there." Victor responded.
"I'm not going to be anything else." She answered as her eyes glowed with golden anti-light, focusing on further pinpointing the bombs location She saw them down below her, the happy families
They were hoping to see the future kings together, they were home safe and unaware of the trouble that the country was in. This was motivation enough for Raven to keep protecting them. 'I'll protect you.' She thought with determination.
*elsewhere*
"Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm. We're dealing with this as efficiently as possible." Garfield spoke up, trying to calm everyone down as the wedding guests where, of course, scared out of their minds
"What's happening? Please tell us!" The people called out, begging for answers.
"We are currently in a situation, we'll protect you." Kori responded as she held her baby
"You can trust them, they are the Justice League and the Titans." Gregor spoke, reassuring his guests.
Seeing this pep-talk and reassurance from the King of Markovia was helping the guests, even though the tension was still high.
"Huh, seems like you've got the crowd on your side." Luthor commented as he was seated next to Mercy and saw Dinah.
"Yes, Mr Luthor. And it seems that you've made yourself some connections here." Dinah commented, trying to be civil to this duplicitous bastard. She really did want to just palm strike the dumbasses nose
"The Markovian Royal family have been gracious, it's been... fortuitous to be business partners with them." Luthor remarked, knowing full well if Dinah struck him it would cause an upset between the public and heroes.
'Smug prick.' She frowned.
"Mr Luthor, it would be advisable to be quiet." Mercy commented.
"Very well." Luthor sighed and held his tongue.
"Thank you, Miss." Dinah responded as she had to admit, the secretary was a bit of a looker. Now, how to continue this interigation? Considering how... open they were right now "Now, Mr Luthor. What brought you to Markovia?" Dinah asked.
"The wedding, of course. I've had a good relationship with the country for years. A cheap but high quality source of steel and engineering equipment." Luthor commented
"I see, and you wanted to renew the trade agreements so your company and the country can profit?" Dinah asked.
"Of course! If the country was destroyed, it would be disastrous." Luthor answered.
"Is that why you are wearing a suit which could protect you from such a blast?" Jinx asked
Lex froze for a split second as he was asked that. How was that possible? His suit was carefully concealed. 'How the hell did she know? I have to play this cool.' He thought, trying to put on a brave smile. "Ah-ha... It's just for insurance. You never know who'll be here; ever see the news?"
"But a nucular bomb?" Jinx asked with a raised eyebrow
"There -are- some Metahumans that have nuclear bomb levels of strength and powers. Not saying all, of course not." Lex responded. "There's Metallo a terrible being whose whole body is fuelled by radioactive material!"
Both Shayera and Dinah gave a distrusting glance to Luthor. He was using flowery and true terms, he was being careful and vague enough to seem innocent. Though he was far from it. They all knew it clearly and simply
"Look, ladies." He frowned "This situation would not benifit me at all. A small boon? Possibly. But the UN would take the resources from this place and I would loose one of my main imports."
Megan saw his face and frowned. It was the truth. She didn't need her mind-reading to tell that Luthor was right. She had to admit though, Luthor was not the one she was worried about. She had her eye of Psimon, the telepath that could alter minds if he got within range or even cause people to shut down. He was the one she was worried about.
She had heard about the battles Psimon and her uncle had shared.
Battles of the mind, two powerful telepaths waging war against each other. Both born with natural powers that command a form of respect among their peers. Although her uncle had much more powers than JUST the mind, so he always came out on top
"How're we going to tackle Psimon? That guy can probably talk his way around us." Karen asked.
"We'll be sneaky and honest. He's got to have some reason to be here." Jinx answered. "Remember, my bad-luck can give us the edge."
'Maybe... I could help?' Karen thought guiltily
*with James*
"Cheshire?" James gasped as he was still in his new snake-like form.
"You know her?!" Kimiyo asked in shock.
"You know him?" one of the super villains behind Cheshire asked
"Yes, I do," Cheshire answered, not letting her eye contact leave James or the other heroes. "He's... Close to me."
"Who are these smucks?" Cir-El scoffed
"We're hardly 'shmucks'." One of the mercenaries responded.
"Look like them to me." Cir-El answered, keeping her eyes on the other villains aside from Cheshire.
"It's a job." Another responded. "The biggest score in our careers."
"Will you shut up?" Cheshire groaned. "Don't tell them."
"Jade, who put you up to thisss? Thisss isssn't your sssort of thing." James hissed, still in his alien snake form, his body coiling into a spring to not only increase his height, but ready himself for an attack so he can lunge.
"Then you don't know Cheshire! She's a ruthless-!" A mercenary pointed at them, before being punched in the gut by an elbow.
"Shut up!" Another one snapped.
Standing with Cheshire was Bane and a few others
An African American man wearing some tight pants, an orange shirt with tight stripes and a leather jacket. This was the Bronze Tiger, standing at 5 foot ten and looking like a wall of muscle
Next to him was a man clad in black Kevlar scuba gear with a large flat metal helmet that had massive red 'eyes'. Black Manta, Aquaman's greatest enemy
Then there was Metallo, a large silver metallic humanoid with a skull like face. At the same time he had a series of glowing green lights all over his chest and skull
Next there was Cheetah, a humanoid cat woman standing at five foot nine. She was very muscular and we'll sculpted, beautiful and dangerous looking. Wonder Woman's greatest foe. With long flowing red hair, eyes that where entirely a glowing orange and a swaying tail set just above her ass. Her skin was covered in yellow fur and cheetah spots. She wore a latex tube top and pants, with open toed shoes that clearly protected the padding at the bottom of her cat like feet but allowed her sharp claws free
"Guys. We might be in trouble." Cir-El whispered, seeing Metallo before them.
"Why do I feel like this isn't even all of them?" Dawn mumbled
"You chicken, sis?" Holly teased
"No, just cautious!" she glared
"Quiet you two, time to suit up!" Hank snapped as he cracked his knuckles
Kimiyo frowned as she waved her hands as white light shone from her hands, a super hero costume forming over her
In a flash of light, She had transformed into a black bodysuit, she had white boots and gloves, a multi-pointed star shape symbol over her chest and a white belt around her waist, white shoulder pads and cape and finally a silver head-crown that went around the side of her head.
"Our turn." Holly smirked. "HAWK!"
A flash of red light washed over Holly's form as she transformed. She had a white and red costume. A skintight white outfit with a red collar area with jagged spikey designs where the red transitioned to white. Around her waist where more of these red designs, wrapped around her waist and hips like a fancy belt. Connected to the red around her collarbone where four tassles which went over her shoulders and down her back, giving her a cape like look. She had wrist length red gloves, which had the same spikey designs as her belt and the red around her shoulders. And then she had similar boots that neared her knees. Her mask was a small red spikey domino mask, looking like a fancy set of wings. And finally her lips seemed to have come alive, turning bright and shinny cherry red
"Right! Dove!" Dawn called as a wave of blue washed over her, giving her a similar costume.
When the blue faded away it revealed Dawn was wearing a white and blue outfit similar to her sister. Only the white and blue was swapped, blue being the main colour while the white was now the accent. Her suit looked almost identical to her sisters, in every style, however there where a few key differences. First was the fact that the edges of the white on her suit where soft curves, almost looking like clouds. Second was that the white details on her suit where lower down, looking almost like a thong. Coming off her shoulders, instead of a series of strands, she had a full white cape. Her mask was much bigger than her sisters as well. And finally her lips turned a calming soft cyan blue
"OWL!" Hank roared mightily as green light washed over him
Hank was transformed into a full grey and green bodysuit with a cowl that covered the top of his face, green talon-like gloves on his hands and boots. A short cape that looked like owl feathers going to his hips. Over the eyes of his cowl was the same style of mask that Holly wore, only in greem. The suit's base colour was grey, the area around his shoulder's being styled like Dawn's while the markings around his waist where more like Holly's. Similar similarities where scattered all across his suit
"Neat!" Danny grinned
"Oh great, we've got the 'Birds of Prey'." Black Manta quipped.
"Oh, that's- HEY!" Holly smiled, before realising what he just said. "Asshole!"
Crack!
"No wonder Aquaman doesn't like you, Manta." Bane cracked his knuckles.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Manta snapped
"Should we do anything here? It seems like you guys have got it covered." Danny commented, seeing how the villains were fighting among each other.
"Be quiet you little shit!" Cheetah hissed as her claws readied
"Jade. Going through thissss? Nuking a country? What'sssss going on?" James hissed in worry
"Sorry, James. I have my orders and reasons." She frowned. "It was fun between us but... this is more important." she said, sounding heartless, before she rushed at him with her sai's aimed at his throat
James' natural reflexes as this new snake form were quick, but to a trained assassin, Jade got in very close. Her blade sparkled in the light, a single scale being flicked away from the slash
She was serious!
Whoosh!
"Haaa!" James hissed and used his tail to try and snap at her, using his tail as a whip. "Titansssss Together!" He ordered seriously as Cheshire backflipped from his strike
The group soon got together and leapt into the fight, Cir-El staying away from Metallo in a close-combat fight, but using her laser vision to attack. Hawk, Dove and Owl went in on a triple attack against Bane and Cheetah. Static and Phantasm rushed forwards to attack Bronze Tiger. And finally Doctor Light blasted at Black Manta
"Switching sides, Light? I would've thought you'd be with us!" Manta remarked.
"Wrong Dr Light, fish-brain!" Kimiyo responded. "I'm nothing like the person you know, the disgusting rapist!"
Manta unleashed his energy blasts from his eyes, Kimiyo stopping them "What the hell?!" He gasped.
"It should be obvious." Kimiyo answered, firing back, striking back with a more intense energy strike. "I control light!"
"Shit!" he hissed, jumping aside
"HA!" Bane roared, punching at Hawk
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
"Impressive; you managed to take on my hits." Bane commented, having a few hits on Hawk while she got some in herself.
"Not just a pretty face, Luchadore." Hawk quipped as she brushed the back of her wrist against her bleeding lip "I'm not going down that easy."
"I am no mere Luchadore! I am the man who Broke The Bat!" Bane proclaimed and rushed at her.
"What's the matter, Kryptonian? Scared of a skull?" Metallo jeered, shooting green flames at Cir-El.
"What can I say? My benefactor has a similar hatred towards Kryptonians." Metallo responded.
Cir-El glared, and unleashed her arctic breath at the cyborg
Metallo grunted and felt the frost creep around him, but the heat of the radiation was enough to partially melt it.
"Wow! Careful with those claws!" Owl snapped as he dodged Cheetah's claws
"What's the matter, bird-boy? Scared of a kitty-cat?" She prowled and smirked.
"More of the razor claws you've got." He responded. "Got bad memories of weirdo's with claws."
Suddenly the catwoman had her jaw slammed with the white boot of Dove
"Argh! Hnn! I thought doves were symbols of 'peace'." Cheetah hissed, correcting her jaw.
"Yep!" Dove smirked "And sometimes, peace is kicking bitches like you in the face!"
"WHOO!" Both Hawk and Owl cheered as they heard that.
"Fuck yeah!" Hawk cheered.
"You can shut up, Ms Barfight!" Dove snapped back
"Heh. Family fights." Danny commented, using his telekinesis in the fight against some of the villains. He was using the terrain, using the rocks and rubble to attack the foes.
"You. Stupid. Little. Bastards!" Bronze Tiger grunted, dodging the shocks and rocks coming his way. "Never bring children to an assassin fight."
"We're not 'kids'!" Static responded, keeping his electric shocks surround Bronze Tiger. "We're 'Titans'!"
The man snarled as his body began to warp and mutate, growing orange fur while his face began to grow feline
"Err..." Both Static and Danny looked at Bronze Tiger become more like a feral feline and gulped. Cheetah was bad enough, now two jungle cats?! Plus this guy was holding a SWORD THAT WAS ON FIRE!
"Where the *hell* did he get that?!" Holly commented while dodging Black Manta's optic blasts.
"You heroes just need to stay still!" he growled
"Yeah, how about 'no'!" Owl responded, throwing a fist in his head.
Jade and James were still doing their run around, with James' reflexes needing to be pushed to the limits. Jade was aiming to kill him!
"Damn it, Jade!" James hissed, using his tail to pull himself away and into a wall. The green clad assasin raised her leg high, kicking him in the chest. The act also sent her into the air, flipping over him. James hissed out in pain, his head jerking back and slammed through the wall of the building. 'What... Am I going to do?' He opened his mouth wise as he tried to bite down on her, slashing his claws where she was likely to dodge to
Jade's motions were fluid, a trained assassin fighting against someone who was only trying to subdue. She had the advantage in dedication to end the fight, but James was winning psychologially.
Why?
Because under her mask... She was crying
'Please. Don't fight me. Please hate me!' She thought, wishing begging James to get angry at her. 'Just... Go away! Leave me alone!'
CLANG!
CLASH!
SHINK!
James grunted as he was stabbed in the side, her sai had gotten under one of his scales.
"Was that your heart?" Cheshire quipped... only to grunt, feeling James having wrapped his body around her
"No." James hissed as he constricted around her, coiling around her and forcing her to drop the sai. "I won't let go."
"You are such a bleeding heart." she hissed as she dropped her sai's... and kicked them, causing them to bounce across the room and stab James in the back
"GAAAAH!" he yelled in pain, dropping her
"But I'm not that easy!" she said darkly 'Lian... I'm sorry.' she thought darkly
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
The foot soliders the group of assasin's had with them opened fire, blasting at the heroes "Great! I forgot about these guys!" Doctor Light frowned as she summoned a shield of light
Cheshire rushed off into the shadows and began to climb a building, preparing for attack. As she climbed, she thought 'But for you... for you I'll happily throw away my bright future.'
*elsewhere*
"Mada-Made it." Bart panted as he came to a stop in a small cave. Bart looked around the area, using his speed to search around. 'Where's the bomb, where's the bomb?' He thought to himself, trying to find the detonator.
...
And he found it, near the back of the cave.
A lare silver machine which was about two stories tall, shaped like an egg with a few dozen different large blinking lights and computer panels
"Pardon my language but... oh my, fucking god!" Bart whispered to himself, worried someone could hear him.
"Bart, what's wrong?" One of the voices responded. "Did you find one of the bombs?"
"Yeah. I did." He nodded and immediately looked at the blinking lights and panels.
...
"Oh... oh no" Bart mumbled as he looked at the computer
"What's wrong?" Victor asked "Sorry, Raven's on the other side. One sec."
*elsewhere*
"Vic, can you hear me? I found it." Raven commented as she had used her magic, parting large parts of the earth to descend down
"Oh, that's good, Bart found his as well. But something..."
"This isn't good!" Raven suddenly yelled. Before her was a giant silver egg like device, very similar to the one Bart had found. She was flouting in front of the device, looking at a control panel
"Ow! Damn girl, do you have to be so loud?" Vic winched
"Vic, you don't understand!" Raven yelled
"One sec Rae, sorry. Got another call. And a growing list of problems." Victor responded
"Vi-" Rachel called, only for her call to be ended
*elsewhere*
"Yeah Jay, what is it?" Victor asked the older speedster
"I hate to tell you kid. But I found the bomb." Jay responded, having found his bomb in an abandoned warehouse near the edge of Markovia
"But that's good!" Vic responded
"It would be but..." Jay began
"GAH! Sorry, one sec!" Victor hissed and ended the call
"Hurry kid, this isn't good." the first Flash commented as he looked at the screen in front of him
*elsewhere*
"Cyberian, is it?" Bleez asked into her ring "I found the bomb. I don't know the most about your earth explosives but this one doesn't look so good."
The red lantern was flouting in the air, her bomb hidden away in the mountain ranges of Markovia
"What do you mean bad? Has it sprung a leak?" the cyber hero asked
"Not really." she frowned
"Then what's the iss-FUCK! I'll be back with you in a sec, Bleez!"
"If this is anything to go by, I can guess what is going on." Bleez hissed
*elsewhere*
"So... Victor, sir?" Wonder Girl said into her headset "I think we found the bomb."
"Thank goodness, looks like everyone is on the same page." He grumbled
"Well... you see..." Superboy flinched
The two where flying high above Markovia, looking at the bomb hidden away at the top of a skyscraper
"Let me guess, you've got a problem?" Victor deadpanned
"You could say that." Wonder Girl nodded weakly
"I... DAMN IT!-" Victor snapped, ending the call
...
"What's his problem?" Superboy asked
*with Victor*
"Everyone is trying to call and talk to me at once!" Victor hissed as he walked down the beach, into a sea cave
Having every hero on the group, as well as some of Markovian's own heroes, all trying to speak to him at once. Trying to keep everyone orginised and work out what was going on as well as directing them
...
No wonder Dick was in charge
"Okay everyone, everyone, calm down." Victor urged as he walked into the cave "I see my bomb. I'll be going through what to do with each of you individually, so don't wor-"
He froze as he saw a large red computer panel with a timer, counting down
02:03
02:02
02:01
02:00
...
"Do... you guys have a counter with less than two minutes left on your bombs?" he asked
"Yes!"
...
"Fuck." Victor mumbled
