Chapter 44: Battle Front-Enemy Ground

Location: Battle Zone

"You know what this whole mess reminds me of," Shayera said to Wally over the comm system, as she used her mace to take out a plane's wing.

"You really want to talk right now," Wally replied firing his gun, as he and his quartet took on the ground fighters.

"That recon and intel mission in Kamashi a few years back," Shayera said, dodging enemy fire.

"You and I remember that Kamashi very differently," Wally said, and then a red light started flashing on his wrist.

"You just don't think about the fun bits," Harley yelled, flipping an enemy soldier over her shoulder and firing at two other coming at her.

"Helena, Taila, and their squad are in trouble," Wally said.

"And just when I was having fun," Shayera said, bringing her mace down on another plane's wing.

~JUSTICE LEAGUE~

Location: Island Facility

The group was led inside one of the building facilities on the island. If you were tried to descriptor the building it would be like a large high school auditorium with a glass roof. Through the roof, you could see that light show that the air assault outside was causing. The room was large and was filled with a variety of scientific equipment. The room had only two exits that the heroes could see: the doorway they came through and the hallway in front of them.

"Look who's back," Tala said, waking out of the hallway.

"Oh…It's the wash-out witch," Harley said.

"I'm going to enjoy killing you," Tala said.

"Not if I put a bullet through your head first," Helena said.

"Before all that, I must say, I am impressed that you made it this far," A voice said, coming from down the hallway. Helena let out a gasp as the man came into view. This was the man that had promised to help them after the Justice League was destroyed. This was the man who had pulled for equality for the meta-humans. This was...

"Emil Hamilton," Superman said, shocked.

"Hello, Superman," Hamilton said.

"But why," Wonder Woman asked.

"For the same reason on an animal preserve, sometimes you have to kill a few predators...to give the others a chance. To keep the balance," Hamilton said, "All you meta-humans and alien are changing the balance of the world. Action needed to taken...and so I did."

"And what brought on that resolution," Helena asked.

"For the greater good. Peace," Hamilton said.

"If you believe in peace, then let us keep it." Superman said.

"I think you're confusing 'peace' with 'quiet'," Another voice came from the hallway. There standing was man that should not have been there. There stood a man to which most the heroes thought to be dead.

"You're suppose to be dead," Green Lantern said.

"Sorry to disappoint," Hro said.

"You would side with him. Doesn't that defeat your propose," Helena said taking a step forward, but was pushed back my a gunman.

"Sometimes in reaching your goals, you have to break some rules," Hamilton said, "Tala, dispose of them."

"You all have been a thorn in my side for too long," Tala said, drawing her gun and pointing it at Helena.

"It doesn't matter if you kill me or not," Helena said, staring at the gun, "You're still going to lose."

"Really," Tala said.

"It's the way the world," Helena said, "Light drives away shadows; water stops fire; and good wins over evil."

"We're not the bad guys here though...And how can we lose," Tala asked, "Your heroes are all but useless, your soldier are falling. Where is our disadvantage?"

"To reach you goal, you pissed off a man who could run at supersonic speeds, a alien from a war torn planet, and a man with a dark past that led so many people to the light," Helena said, and then the glass roof was shattered.

"I'm going to enjoy this," Shayera said, flying right toward Hro and hitting in the chest with her mace.

Helena grabbed the gun from Tala and twisted her arm behind her back.

"I told you, I'd shot you first," Helena said in her ear, but pulling the trigger and firing two shots into Tala.

The back wall started shaking, and right after Helena yelled for everyone to get down, it was blow out.

"Knock, knock," Wally said, before firing off his gun.

"Kill them," Hamilton said, before running off.

Soon the room was filled with the sounds gunfire and men in pain and the smell of smoke and blood.

"Hey, Nightlight," Helena called out to John, "Now would be a great time to break out your ring."

"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power. Green Lantern's light!" John said, as his ring lit up, and then Green Lantern was back in action.

Soon the fight was back, with Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Superman taking on any heavy hitters, leaving the rest with the smaller men.

Green Lantern had form a giant green baseball bat, when Hro stuck him in the back.

"So we met again, little man," Hro said, "This time I will make you pay for taking what was mine."

"Again, anything I took was freely offered," Green Lantern said, sending a blast at Hro, which he dodged. Hro flew toward Green lateen and swung his Nth metal ax at him, but Green Lantern blocked it with a medieval shield.

"We stopped you once before, we can do it again," Green Lantern said.

"This time, I will leave this planet with your head as a trophy," Hro said, swinging his again and again. Then with one last might swing, Hro broke Green Lantern's shield and knocked him to the ground.

He started to fly down towards Green Lantern, when gunfire pushed him back. Helena had her guns out and aimed at Hro.

"Back off," Helena said.

"Woman, you are playing with forces beyond your ken," Hro said.

"Yeah, well, your ken can kiss my Barbie," Helena said, firing her guns again. Hro turns and was flying toward Helena, when Shayera flew into his path.

"Shayera," Hro said.

"Hro," Shayera said, evenly, tightening her grip on her mace, "You're suppose to be dead."

"So I've been told," Hro said.

"Don't worry...I'll fix that soon enough," Shayera said, and then flew at Hro with her mace.

"Shayera, why do you fight with these rats," Hro asked, blocking her mace with his ax, "We could be gods together."

"The only thing you and I will ever be is enemies," Shayera said, landing a kick to his side.

"But we don't have to be," Hro said, knocking Shayera's weapon out of her hand and then pinning her to the wall, "Shayera, come on. I still have faith in you."

"Yeah-so do I," Shayera said, before head-butting Hro and causing him stumble backwards.

"If you won't stand beside me, then you shall fall before me," Hro said, raising his ax. Shayera dove out of his way, but he managed to clip her "wing" and cut a chunk of it off. That caused Shayera to crash into the ground.

John saw Shayera it the ground, and quickly finish off his opponent. He turned to go help her, but was stopped by Helena.

"Move. She needs help," John said, as he saw Hro flying towards Shayera.

"No, she doesn't. She's Shayera," Helena said, as Shayera pulled out a hidden knife and threw it at Hro. He dropped down to the floor beside Shayera.

"Everyone all right," Wally asked, looking around.

"We're fine," Diana said.

"You took your sweet time getting here," Helena said, walking over to Shayera and helping her up.

"Sorry. Traffic," Shayera said.

"You have the worst taste in men," Helena said, looking down at Hro.

"Don't get me started," Shayera said, walking over to Wally.

"Well-" Helena let out a gasp. Hro wasn't dead. He'd stabbed her side with Shayera's knife.

"Shit," Helena said, falling forward.

"Helena," Shayera screamed, catching her.

"Bastard," Wally said, shooting Hro; and this time he was dead.

"I-I guess we're not all g-going to walk out of th-this," Helena gasped, holding her side.

"Don't be stupid...You're going to be fine," Shayera said, holding Helena.

"You suck at lying," Helena said, "Promise me."

"What," Shayera said, tears falling.

"F-finish this," Helena said, and then her head fell back and she breathed out her last breath.
