Earthshaking War Part 4
(Markovburg, Markovia. Outside of the city March 21st, 9:05 (Markovian time))
Geo-Force stood ready as Gregor had emptied the city and brought them to the bunker, as the Markovian government stood ready. They all aimed their guns as a large assortment of ships began to come forward, as a roar is heard in the distance as one of the men looked up in shock as they saw the ships were firing down what looked like giant orbs that crashed into the landscape, as Geo-Force put his hands up to block it.
Growls are heard as large, bestial creatures began to come out as some brought out the Gene-spliced people, as they all growled. Geo-Force's eyes narrowed as he saw the HIVE Five come down, glaring darkly at this. Lion-Mane, Copperhead, Elephant Man and Silverback came out of their own pods, growling at the people in front of them.
"Well, well…looks like our invasion has begun," said Psimon as he floated down, his eyes shining dark orange as he descended as Mammoth gave a smirk, a faint snarl escaping his lips as several Chimeras came up from the pods.
"Yes it has…but it will end." Geo-Force said as he floated up to him. "So you and your little band of insects crawl back to your hive. Because I am not going down until you knock the last breath out of me."
"That can be arranged, hero…" Said Psimon as his eyes glowed a bit as Geo-Force yelled out from his psionic attack
Lion-mane laughed at this as the others smirked as they saw Psimon crossing his arms casually as his mental powers went at him. "Not if I have anything to say about it, Dr. Light." Said a familiar voice as Psimon looked in shock as Geo-Force suddenly changed into the Martian Manhunter, who sent a punch his way making him grunt.
Mammoth looked in shock as he saw Terra and Geo-Force suddenly flew down, glaring darkly as they flew down. Terra smirked as she fired down various stones down at as the jets began to descend down, but was sent back by two red blurs before Superman and Supergirl landed, glaring at the HIVE agents.
Psimon groaned as he asks, 'Wha…?" As he saw a green Condor fly down and turn back into Beast boy, who smirked as Starfire floated down, her arms across her chest as her eyes glowed green as Mr. Israel flew down, a frown on his face.
"You are not going to come into that city, Psimon. Nor are your little side kicks." Wonder Woman said with a scowl, crossing her arms as Copperhead hissed at her, glaring.
"hmm…we'll see about that. HIVE…Swarm them!" Psimon said as the foot soldiers yelled out as the shadowy masses of the Chimeras came forward, roaring at them.
"For Markovia!" Geo-force said as the soldiers all nod as they went as well, guns at the ready as the heroes flew forward to help.
Lion Mane ran forward on all fours before grabbing two Markovian soldiers and slashed at one of their necks, making the soldier fall as blood began to come out of his neck as the other was bitten, making him scream out in pain. Suddenly Starfire came from behind as she grabs Lion-Mane's maw and forces it open, releasing the man from his grip. She grunts as she tosses the gene spliced man aside, glaring at him.
"You pick on those weaker than you…such as the nature of any beast. But now it is time for you to be tamed." Starfire said as Lion-Mane smirked at that, growling a bit as he wiped his maw from the blood before growling.
"lets see you take me on, girly." He growled before he jumped, but Starfire flew away and kicked him as the creature growled in annoyance.
Mammoth roared as Mr. Israel stopped him mid-step with his shield, blocking his punch with a grunt as he pushed him back. Gizmo saw all of this and flew off, using his jet-pack to get ahead.
"Oh no you don't, pipsqueak!" Kara said as she flew after him to give chase, but yelled out as she was blasted by Dr. Light, the villain smirking as he made contact. He then concentrated as the light began to shape and form a fist as he threw it out.
Supergirl yelled out as she put her arms up to block it as she was being pushed back by it.
Superman then saw the tanks were coming as he concentrated on them, as he got his hand on his communicator. "The tanks are unmanned, but I can't say the same about the jets."
"Then that means…THIS is fair game." Geo-Force said as he concentrated on the tanks. Suddenly a few floated into the air as he suddenly sent them flying away, as Terra just rolled her eyes.
"Pfft, show off…" Terra muttered as she saw a large, bear-like beast with Komodo dragon-like attributes smack aside a few of the Markovian soldiers as she glares as she sends down several stones down at the creature, making it roar out in pain as Psimon glared.
"You're fight is with me, Psimon…" Manhunter said as his eyes glowed red as Psimon's glowed green in response as the two fired mental blasts at the other, orange-black and dark red orbs forming around them as they collided with each other, never leaving each other's gaze.
Gizmo smirked as he flew into the city, landing as he got out a device. "Lets see if you can see this coming…" as he pressed a button and smirked as he says, "Good thing Jinx still has that tracker…I'll find her…and then take out the king there."
(meanwhile…)
(Aparo Barr Base. 10:12)
A duo of HIVE agents was patrolling the outer part of the base before hearing something coming over. "Huh?" asked one of them as they aimed their guns in that direction, unaware a shimmering gaze forming over head as a large grin gleamed down at them before jumping down at them.
"AAH!" said a man as he was tackled to the ground as the shimmering appearance of Cheshire herself appeared, as the other man aimed his gun at her, only to get an a strange-looking capsule to be thrown at him and encase him with some sort of adhesive.
Batman jumped down as he says, "Mind telling me where you got that camo-suit?"
"Hmm…sure. I think I convince Waller to have a peak at her armory." Jade said as the others came down via Raven's mystical portal as Green Arrow looked at Raven. General Lane was with them, along with several soldiers clad in military grade uniforms with masks covering their faces and chess pieces with a familiar 'knight' symbol on it..
"So…how come you can't just phase us in?" green Arrow asked, confused.
"Simple; Alchimia: You're on." Raven said calmly as Alchimia nods as he presses his hands on the wall. Suddenly the stone and metal began to turn more crystal and brittle before he gives a 'after you' gesture to Cyborg, who walks up with a smirk as he cracks his knuckles before his right arm began to shift into his sonic cannon, which he presses down onto the wall.
"OK…and GOOD!" Said cyborg as a sonic blast came out of his cannon as it blew through the opening they set up. "Just call me the 'Doorman', y'all.'
"Good on you. Flag, you and the squad go on ahead and keep an eye out." Said lane as the soldiers nod, as the lead one, a young man with short brown hair, dark blue eyes and a muscular build, motions the other soldiers along, who nod as the female soldier looked towards Raven and nods, as she nods back.
Rick looked around as he gave a nod to the others as they head inside, Alchmia asking, "so what are we looking for?"
"We're looking for this 'Creator' guy and his gang of grunts." Roy said simply as he put up a hood on his jacket as Oliver did the same with his own hood, as Batman looked around.
"Detective vision, on." Batman said as his eyes glowed as Cheshire smirked.
"Read my mind, Bats." Jade said as her mask's eyes glowed bright yellow as she looks around, as the others kept their eyes open, weapons at the ready, unaware of a pair of insect-like green eyes glaring down.
One of the soldiers looked up as Batman says, "Everyone, get back!" as Hellgamite came down with a roar, tackling Cyborg into the ground, making him yell out as he kept the large mouth away from his head, grunting at this.
Creator chuckled as he came forward, still in the shadows as he says, "Hello…heroes…you are just in time." As he said this, Deathstroke came out of the shadows with several Biyalian soldiers, all of them aiming their guns at them.
"And you are clearly outmatched." Deathstroke said as Lane looked at the soldier with a nod, as they nod back.
"Actually mate…" said one of the soldiers as he removed his mask and opened his vest, revealing…boomerangs? The man in question had short brown hair with a ponytail growing out of the lower half of his head, and wearing a dark blue shirt.
He then threw a boomerang as another man got a gasmask out and removed his marks for a moment before putting it on, making his eyes glow green as he fired out a blast of gas at several of the men, which made them cough before passing out, now asleep.
They then fired as the woman of the group suddenly put on a pink ring, as Batman looked in shock as the others looked equally confused. "What the hell is going on here!?" Asked Green Arrow, annoyed at the sudden change in events.
"Say hello to the ace agents of Checkmate." Lane said with a smirk as Raven put up a barrier to block away the bullets as the other woman began to whisper something.
"For Hearts Long Lost And Full of Fright, For Those Alone In Blackest Night, Accept Our Ring and Join Our Fight - Love Conquers All - With Violet Light!" the woman said as her uniform suddenly changed, revealing a violet, one-piece costume with a star-styled headdress and violet eyes, her black hair cascading down her back as she smirked.
"…Super villains and vigilantes? OK, I'm gonna have to have a talk with Waller after this is all over!" said Cyborg as he kicked hellgrammite off, making the monster roar out as Batman used his batclaw to go up a floor as Nightwing followed suit via his own hookshot, going up.
The two landed as they glared towards Deathstroke, who casually got his sword out as he says, "So…mentor and sidekick…this should prove interesting." He said as he gave a 'bring it motion' as batman got into a stance as Nightwing got his Eskima sticks.
One of the soldiers yelled out as his shirt ripped open, revealing a giant snake tattoo coming out of his flesh, making it hiss out and thrash towards the terrorists, making them yell out. Roy smirked as he fired arrows with Green, who fired his own.
The woman in violet, known as Star Sapphire, flew around and summoned out a giant flyswatter and smacks aside several of them before she fires down energy down, trapping several of them into crystal chambers as Boomerang did a flip to get away from several shots before throwing out two of his own boomerangs out, which flew out and knocked down two guys before coming back, which he threw to the left to take on one of the guys to his left.
Deathstroke yells out as he slashes down at Batman, who grunts as he moved the blade away as Nightwing sent a kick to the assassin, who blocked it as he backed up. 'Not bad…but not good." Deathstroke said as he slashed forward, as Nightwing blocked with a grunt as Nightwing glared darkly at him.
'I am so hopeful the others are having as much as we are…' Cyborg thought sarcastically as he fired energy blasts at several of the Biyalian soldiers as Katana ducked around a man's shot as she slashed forward, sending out a ghostly white energy out, making them yell out as they were sent back.
One of the other soldiers backed her up, suddenly turning his fist into a hammer and bonked a man on the head as she nods. "Arigato…uh…'
"Mason, Rex Mason." Said the man, keeping his face hidden as his gloved hand shrunk back, revealing it was violet in color. "Uh…long story." He said as he slammed into another grunt with a growl.
Lane grunts as he ducked behind an object and fired shots down at Biyalian soldiers, keeping cover. "Ugh…why hasn't Vera called with the information yet!?"
"No idea, it has to be important." Cheshire said as she threw several shurikens at the agents, making them yell out in pain as some of them got disarmed while others got it stuck in their shoulders, Roy firing arrows at them as he evaded most of them.
(At the Markovian base. 11:34)
"A'right, talk ya bloody witch." Vera said, glaring down at Jinx from across a table as she was now feeling better, Michael with her wearing a costume ofh is own: A black and red armor with a T-styled mask covering his face and red eye covers, several orbs floating around him. Gear was standing next to him as Static was next to her.
Static was now wearing a new costume that consisted of a dark blue jacket over a blue and yellow semi-flexible armor with a yellow lightning bolt in the shape of an 'S' going down his chest, black boots and gloves and a white mask covering his face with his sunglasses over his eyes, his dreadlocks showing more in this outfit than before. "listen Goth girl, I think you better answer the nice lady's questions. I doubt she's friendly."
"what do you want me to talk about?" Jinx asked with a faint smirk towards Vera, as the blonde just glared under her sunglasses.
"Don't get cute with me, love. I know when someone is talkin' out of their arse." Vera said as her prosthetic suddenly came to life, turning into a gun. "Now talk 'fore I get beastly."
"be careful…you may get some bad luck." Jinx pointed out with a smirk as Vera scowled.
"I know all about you, Nicole. You're real name is Nicole Diaz, at least that's what you tell people. You were born in a small town in Biyalia where your mother was impregnated with ya by dat demon, Trigon. Then ya were sent to America by yur mum and got put into the Church of Blood, where you were trained to be an assassin since you were young. Am I close?" Vera asked, as Jinx just glares.
"Vera, calm down." Michael said as he walked up and sat down across from Jinx. "Look, Jinx. I can tell you are a good person deep down. I mean, look at Raven. She has a similar backstory to your own: You were born to a father who wishes to do wrong and cause destruction…but your sister did good. If you help us, I can arrange you can do better."
"Oh yeah, how?" Asked Jinx, crossing her arms at this before an explosion was heard as the group looked up as they saw Gizmo come in with several Biyalian soldiers.
"How did you get in here!?" Asked King Gregor, glaring at the group with an annoyed look as Jace walked up, making him go wide eyed. "Helga, how could you?"
"Looks like you aren't all that smart…' said 'Jace' with a smirk as her body shifted and changed into a black haired, blue eyed woman who chuckled darkly, her clothing shifting into a dark blue uniform as Vera glared.
"Madam Rouge…" Vera said with an annoyed look, as Static looked confused.
'wait, isn't she a doom Patrol villain?" Gear asked, shocked as Michael frowned as his orbs floated around him. "And…older?"
"her mother, yes…but she's for hire." Michael said as he nods to the others, who nod back as vera's arm turned into a gun as Static's hands sparked to life as Gear powered his weapons.
"Smoke them out!" said gizmo as he flew forward, but Gear flew right at him as Vera fired her gun right at them as Static put up an electric shield around the king, which repealed the bullets that came near him while Rouge glared and stretched out, grabbing Static and throwing him into a wall, making him yell out.
"So you are friends with the green changeling, yes?" she asked, lifting him up still as he tried to spark her, but nothing happened. "I got a bone to pick with that little green gnat. But I'll start by killing one of his friends."
"Yeah. Not gonna happen!" said Static as his eyes flashed brightly as one of the near-by metal lamps suddenly flew out and smacked Rouge in the face, making her yell out and let go before static flicked his wrists and sent more metal items at her.
Gear flew around as Gizmo aimed some missles at him. "any last words, wannabe?" the shorter genius asked with a smirk.
"Yeah…Don't shoot at me." Gear said, as his eyes flashed green under his helmet as Gizmo looked in suprirse as he saw that his backpack was obeying his commands. "And now…wrap yourself up with unbreakable binds."
Gizmo yelled out as he says, "Hey, what the hell did you do!?" asked Gizmo, shocked as he tried to get out as Vera ducked around and fired, hitting the Biylian soldiers as Mr. Terrific fired energy out of the orbs floating around him.
"Guys, this is Holt. We were compromised: I repeat, compromised!" said Michael as Jinx, who hid under a table, saw a man aim his gun at him. Jinx, looking down, quickly put a hand out as the gun suddenly glowed pink before exploding, making the man scream out in pain before Gear punched him in the face, knocking him out.
"OW! Owowowowowow!" Gear said, shaking his fist in pain, rubbing the now throbbing fist as Jinx quickly flicked her wrist again as Rouge was suddenly in the ground, making her yell out in shock as Static glared at her.
"Heh…impressive…" Rouge said, looking at Jinx with a dark smirk as she says into an earpiece, "Now." Rouge smirked as she slicked out of the ground and away, making the others look confused at this.
(At the battlefield. 12:34)
Lion-Mane, who was fighting against Starfire at this moment, heard this and growled a bit with a smirk before throwing her aside and giving out a thunderous roar, making the others turn and nod as the jets began to descend.
"Ah crap…those jets are gonna bomb the city!" Terra said as Geo-Force frowned as he flew up, followed by Superman and Starfire.
"Nightwing, Batman, you guys better hurry with the plan to shut them down! They are about to gun down the city!" Superman said as he fired a laser blast to seal one of the jets.
"We got our own problem! Try and stop the jets, quickly!" Batman said over the intercom.
"Easy for him to say…" Superman muttered with an annoyed tone. "Guess this looks like a job for Superman…though I REALLY hope others aren't to afraid to give back up."
"I can help, Superman." Starfire said as Geo-force nods in agreement.
"We will help you Superman, do not worry." Geo-Force said as he floated up, firing super-hot blasts to block the bottom as well. Starfire aided, blocking the exit.
"There is no way they can release the explosives if we seal them off." Starfire said as she suddenly saw one of the jets beginning to descend. "Oh X'hal, no…"
"Suicide Bombers?! Rao, PLEASE tell me you're joking…" Supergirl said with a groan as she was tackled by Elephant man, with Sivlerback now pinning down Beast boy as the forces began to get closer as the ship crash-landed, sending a large explosion as other ships began to decend.
Geo-Force yelled out as his eyes glowed green, slowing them down but the ships began to push against the gravity pushing against them, making heat start to increase.
"They are bombing down! I repeat, they are bombing down on top of you!" Terra screamed into her communicator. Her eyes widen in horror as she saw a jet heading right for where the base was. "Gregor, Virgil, Vera, Richie, Get everyone out now!"
Psimon saw this with a smirk as J'onn was about to stop it, but he yelled out as he was suddenly attacked by many dark images: several creatures coming down from above, a female Martian and several children being killed by flames, seeing many men in green descend and fight along side them. Psimon smirked darkly at this as he laughed darkly, his eyes glowing orange.
Wonder Woman was about to fly after her, but yells out as Copperhead hissed loudly as she began to wrap her limbs around her, locking movement as Wonder Woman felt a crushing grip on her limbs, making her fall into the ground with a grunt as Copperhead hissed a bit into her ear, a dark laugh added to it as her eyes glared darkly into her own.
Several agents advanced, the two extra 'eyes on their helmets closing up on the events around them as they pushed back against the soldiers. Mr. Israel saw them coming as he got his shield in half on both arms, glaring darkly at them as he gave a quiet prayer before charging at them.
(AT the base)
Gregor saw the ceiling shake as Static heard this from his communicator. "Everyone, get down!" Static said as everyone got to the ground while Static put his hands up, releasing a large electrical barrier to protect himself, the soldiers and the others in the room as the ship crashed, sending an explosion to send them flying back, the shield taking the explosive part but sending them flying away, rubble coming down on top of them.
The group groaned, as Jinx coughed a bit, groaning a bit as the ringing from the explosion ringed in her ear before she passed out, groaning a bit as a camera on Gizmo's backpack suddenly turned to the downed heroes.
(at the HIVE base)
Batman grunted as he was sent back from a kick from Deathstroke as Creator nods to another man, who nods as he presses a button, as several Chimeras came out with a roar each, advancing towards the heroes.
"Ah crap…" Said Rex, backing up as the group got into a tight circle, getting their weapons out as they glared at the large monsters as Batman groaned a bit, getting up as Deathstroke kicked Nightwing away, as Batman glared at the assassin.
"Seems things haven't gone as planned, has it…" Deathstroke said as he grabs Batman by the neck and whispers into his ear, "Payback time, Wayne…" as he chuckled and shoved more into the wall, making Batman yell out as he got him onto the raling, Batman putting his arm up to block the blade with the spikes on his armbands to keep the blade away from his neck, Deathstroke pushing against it.
Little did they know, cameras were watching the fight all go down as the chimeras advanced, the collected group getting their weapons ready.
(At an unknown location. Unknown timezone.)
In a room hidden in shadows, a man was watching all of this unfold with a smirk, watching all of the events from various screens from the cameras in the areas the heroes were in. "It looks like your plan is working flawlessly boss."
"Good, Calculator…good…" Said a man hidden in shadows as he went out. "Let me know if anything comes up…I got something planned."
"Don't let me hold you up, sir." Said the man as the light from the various screens revealing him to be a green eyed, brown haired man with what appeared to be a high-tech armor connecting him to a chair, which head a headpiece on with a scouter-like device covering his left eye that had a dark blue color on it, which showed several screens on it.
Calculator turned back as he kept an eye on them, smirking darkly at this as he watched all of the action as he leaned back as he put his hands behind his head. "Ahh, it's very entertaining…and who says there is nothing good on?"
