...And Injustice For All

Chapter 13: It's the Man, Not the Machine

Chris and Jade returned to the parallel universe to search for Tanya. Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang and and the others returned to Earthrealm. An hour later Chris and Jade found Tanya and Zatanna kissing each other.

Chris: Really?

Tanya: Jealous?

Chris and Jade look a each other and shrugged.

Meanwhile in the Watchtower of the prime universe, Cyborg finished the adjustments on the Cosmic Treadmill. Flash on the Treadmill ready.

Superman: Ready to test it?

Cyborg: Ready. System's online, I'm linked up... ready?

Flash: I'm on it.

While Flash gets started on the Treadmill, Cyborg opens up his monitor screen as his control panel.

Cyborg: Let's crank it up!

Flash runs as fast as he could.

Cyborg: The platform should lock on to their signatures and pull them back.

Flash: Got it! I'm vibrating at the right frequency!

Cyborg checks the panel again as a energy rift is opening up at the containment field.

Flash: How we doing?

Superman: Containment's field's up, but the levels are spiking!

The containment field is overflowing with energy as Cyborg tries to control the situation.

Superman: Cyborg, shut it down!

Cyborg: It's ok! I got this!

Or so he thinks. The energy rift ended up pulling Cyborg in the Insurgency's secret base.

Cyborg: Wonderful. Don't know whether to pat myself in the back, or kick myself in the...

Cyborg sees Insurgents Lex Luthor and Deathstroke.

Luthor (Insurgent): Lexcorp is supplying equipment, but we're short on personnel.

Deathstroke (insurgent): The Joker Clan is reckless. Undisciplined.

Luthor (Insurgent): The chaos they create is helpful. We need more than power to take down Superman.

Cyborg: That's all I needed to hear.

Cyborg readies his arm cannon and rushes out of the shadows.

Insurgents Deathstroke and Luthor dodged Cyborg's attacks.

Deathstroke (Insurgent): You said this place was secure.

Luthor (Insurgent): Just keep him busy.

Deathstroke (Insurgent): With pleasure.

Deathstroke realizes that this Cyborg is different from the one who tortured him recently. But this Cyborg knew Slade very well, Insurgent or not.

Cyborg: Pleasure's all mine, Slade. Wish the other titans could see this.

Insurgent Luthor comes back in his armor suit.

Luthor (Insurgent): What do you think, Cyborg? Like yours, only better.

Cyborg: It's the man, not the machine, Luthor.

As they fight, Cyborg discovered that the armor Luthor is wearing is a prototype, not his own armor, whih gave Cyborg the upper hand .

Cyborg: Wardrobe malfunction.

Insurgent Batman and the prime heroes arrived, joined by Sonya, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage and Jax.

Batman (Insurgent): At ease, Cyborg.

Jax: Victor?

Cyborg: Who are you?

Jax: I'm Jackson Briggs. Didn't you play football?

Cyborg: I did, then I got mutilated.

Cage: I guess it's too late for a autograph.

Cyborg: What'd I miss?

Batman (Insurgent): It's a long story.
