Smokey Mountains
October 19, 13:00 EST
Cheshire is at the mountain range of Tennessee looking at the snow that covers the mountains. "What are you doing here" Sportsmaster asks who appears from the shadows.
"Not that it's any of your business but I got a mysterious call to come to here" Cheshire tells her father.
"Well isn't that something, I got a call to come here as well Little Girl. Talk about coincidence" said Sportsmaster.
"I would like to know who called me and told me to come here. And why were you called" Cheshire says while she glares at her father.
"You're never going to forget about past" said Sportsmaster. While the two argue; a male shadow figure appears, showing a claw on his right hand. Both Cheshire and Sportsmaster realize that they are not alone turn around to see the male figure standing there. "You know I don't like being followed" said Cheshire as she takes out her sai.
"You're such a feisty little thing" said the male shadow figure that has a seductive Spanish accent. "You got some kind of death wish" Sportsmaster tells the male figure who remains in the shadows. The figure steps out of the shadows, revealing to Cheshire and Sportsmaster who he is. He is a tall, strikingly handsome young man with long, blonde hair which is braided into a ponytail. He is wearing blue and yellow ceremonial trousers, a red sash, and brown loafers with white leggings. He is also sporting a purple snake tattoo on his chest which circles his left arm, and on his right arm. He is also wearing a white mask with a blue design on the right side which looks like the letter "C".
"Wait a minute, I know you. You're Vega. You were from the world tournament a few years ago" said Sportsmaster. "I see you know who I am" said Vega.
"I was disappointed when you lost. I should've put my money on the Wandering Warrior" Sportsmaster says to Vega. "I didn't come here to get insulted by the likes of you" Vega says while he glares at Sportsmaster.
"Then why did you" Cheshire asks. "Is there a reason why you called us to come here" Sportmaster also asks.
"Juri Han" Vega says. "What about her" Sportsmaster asks. Vega doesn't respond so he raises his right arm showing his claw while laughing at them. "Look I don't time for this, so either tells us why you called us here. Or I will no problem separating your head from your body" Cheshire tells Vega.
"You really should put a leash on her" Vega says to Sportsmaster. "Don't talk to my daughter like that" Sportsmaster tells Vega while he glares at him.
"That has to be the first and only time you ever acted like a father" Cheshire says. "Why did I ever say that" Sportsmaster asks while he rolls his eyes.
"I didn't expect you two be father and daughter. And here I thought you two were a couple" Vega says. "What the hell is wrong with you" Cheshire asks.
"Are you going to tell us why the sudden interest in Juri" an angry Sportsmaster asks Vega. "It's not a sudden interest in her. Let's just say the organization I work for wants her eliminated" Vega tells Sportsmaster and Cheshire.
"Organization" is the only thing what Cheshire says. "I'm a member Shadaloo" Vega tells Cheshire and Sportsmaster.
Shadaloo, the criminal organization that's known for dealing drugs and weapons" said a surprised Sportsmaster. "You are member of Shadaloo" Cheshire asks Vega.
"So you two know about Shadaloo" Vega asks. "It's been all over the news for years" Cheshire tells Vega. "It's not like a secret" Sportsmaster says.
"Now why does Shadaloo want Juri killed" Cheshire asks. "Several years ago; Shadaloo was responsible for the murder of Juri's parents. Not only that her left eye was gravely wounded because of the ordeal" Vega tells Cheshire.
"Something is telling me that there's a reason why Shadaloo went after her family" said Sportsmaster.
"Juri's father was a lawyer in charge of prosecuting organized crime organizations. And Shadaloo was his next target to put away, so my boss had ordered his men to murder him. But at that time he was with his wife and their daughter" Vega tells Sportsmaster and Cheshire.
"So Shadaloo had killed both Juri's parents in front of her" Cheshire asks while she glare at Vega.
"Actually Juri was supposed to be killed but she somehow survived. However, she lost her left eye" Vega tells Cheshire.
"So Juri wants vengeance against the very organization that killed her parents. Is that why you want her eliminated" Cheshire asks.
"Aw what's the matter? Is Shadaloo scared of Juri" Sportmaster asks while taunted at Vega. "Shadaloo isn't afraid of anyone. Especially Juri" Vega tells Sportsmaster.
"Then why contact us" Cheshire asks. "To kill Juri" Vega tells her.
"So you contacted us to do your dirty work? No one tells me what to do, especially some chump who couldn't win a tournament" said Sportsmaster.
"You have wasted our time. If you want Juri killed, then why don't you and Shadaloo do it yourself. We're leaving" Cheshire tells Vega as she and her father are about to leave.
"What If I can help you? Would you both change your mind and help Shadaloo" Vega asks Cheshire and Sportsmaster. They both stop and look at Vega, walking to him. "In what way can you help us" Cheshire asks.
"I know where Juri is" Vega tells her. "How the hell do you know where Juri is" Sportsmaster asks. "She's is currently at an abandoned prison located in the Antarctic Region" Vega tells Sportsmaster.
"How you do know for sure she's there" Cheshire asks. "The prison belonged to S.I.N., a weapons division of Shadaloo. The division was led by Seth who seek to takeover Shadaloo" Vega tells Cheshire.
"Look we just needed to know where she's located" Sportsmaster tells Vega. "Fair enough. It's not hard to find. It's disguised as an oil platform with a sub level floor" Vega tells them.
"How do we know you're not lying" Cheshire asks. Vega doesn't respond as he takes out a flash drive, throwing it toward them as Sportsmaster quickly catches it. "And what is this more info about Juri" Sportsmaster asks. Suddenly; a Black Hawk helicopter appears slowly descending down to where Vega is standing. The door opens and Vega enters inside. "Wait a minute, who's your boss" Sportsmaster shouts, asking Vega.
Vega doesn't say anything so he closes the door. The helicopter begins to depart while Sportsmaster and Cheshire look on. They notice an insignia on the side of the door which shows a skull with a lightning bolt on the forehead as well as wings, all in a golden color.
"It looks like he wasn't planning to tell us who his boss is" Cheshire says.
Antarctic Ocean

Aquaman is unconscious on the metal floor. He slowly opens his eyes and sees that he is inside a prison cell but the door is open. Aquaman stands up to exit the cell and sees he is inside an empty prison. "Where am I" he asks. "You're in hell" said Juri who is speaking to Aquaman through an intercom. "Where are you" Aquaman shouts as he walks through the deserted prison.
"Aw what's wrong, not liking the environment you're in" Juri asks while she taunts him. "How did you know about Atlantis" Aquaman asks.
"Like I'm going to tell you" Juri tells Aquaman over the intercom. Aquaman looks around the prison and notices a wall megaphone attached to the corner as well as a video camera next to it. Aquaman realize that Juri is watching him.
Juri is in the security room with both her feet on the table in a comfortable position. She watches Aquaman staring at the camera. "You seem pissed" Juri speaks into a microphone with a stand attach to it.
"Why did you send me here" Aquaman asks. "To fight you one on one. And to make sure no one interferes" Juri tells Aquaman who speaking to him through the megaphone.
"Then why don't you show yourself. You want me, come and get me" Aquaman shouts at Juri but she's just laughs at him through the megaphone. "So you want your life to end? Head to the elevator. I'll be waiting for you" Juri tells Aquaman.
Aquaman looks around the prison and finds the elevator with the doors open.
The Batplane flies above the region of Africa. "Are you sure Aquaman is there" Crimson Viper asks Batman who sitting at the backseat while the Dark Knight pilots the Batplane. "J'onn can easily find anyone with telepathy. It wasn't difficult to find him" Batman tells Crimson Viper.
"Barry; how far you" Batman contacts Flash. "I'm now at the Antarctic Ocean, but you're not going to believe this. There's an oil platform. It looks like it hasn't been used in years" Flash tells Batman.
"Wait for us. We'll be there soon" Batman tells the Flash. "An abandoned oil platform in the middle of nowhere" said Crimson Viper.
"She's want to fight him and Juri hoping that one would interfere" Batman says. "Does Aquaman have a weakness" Crimson Viper asks.
"High temperature, he can't withstand heat" Batman tells her. "She couldn't possibly know all this unless" said Crimson Viper as she thinks about how Juri knows about the Justice League. "Someone told her about us" Batman says.
Back at the sub level of the abandoned prison; Aquaman exits out the elevator and is now in an indoor prison yard. "It looks like you found me" Juri says. Aquaman looks around for Juri but can't find her because of the light only surrounds the center of the large room. Unaware to Aquaman; Juri's left eye glows and she appears on the top of the barricade of the indoor prison yard. She jumps down behind of Aquaman which gets his attention.
"Fighting me will be a waste of your time" Aquaman tells Juri. She starts to laugh at Aquaman of what he told her. "Oh this is going to be fun" Juri says.
"You send people to the hospital and even worse you murdered them, and you think this is fun" Aquaman asks Juri.
"They shouldn't try to fight me. All I did was defend myself" Juri tells him while she laughs.
"I can't believe you find this amusing" Aquaman says. Juri just laughs at Aquaman while her left eye begins to glow. "I'm ready for you" Aquaman tells Juri as he gets into his fighting stance. "You really want don't die huh" Juri asks while she laughs at him. She then heads to a small rectangle object that is attached to a wall, turning the knob up.
"What are you doing" Aquaman asks. "Well we are in the middle of nowhere and it's really cold in here. So I'm raising the temperature" Juri tells Aquaman. Juri jumps up to deliver a kick but Aquaman blocks. She tries again and Aquaman blocks her attacks. "So it's true about your kind" Juri says.
"How do you know about Atlanteans" an angry Aquaman asks Juri. "That's for me to know and you to never find out" Juri responds by striking with a series of kicks but again Aquaman blocks them.
"Arthur" Martian Manhunter contacts Aquaman telepathically. "J'onn; where are you" Aquaman asks telepathically.
"Outside of an oil platform" Martian Manhunter telepathically tells Aquaman. "Good thing you found me but I need help" Aquaman telepathically says.
Outside; Flash is standing on top a large iceberg while Martian Manhunter and the Batplane are hovering near the abandoned oil platform. "I'm with the woman that put Artemis in the hospital" Aquaman tells J'onn telepathically.
"He's inside the sub level of the platform. He's not looking to good" Martian Manhunter tells Batman. "What's wrong" Crimson Viper asks.
"Aquaman has been away from water for a while" Batman tells her. "Hey is it possible that the oil platform has a thermostat of some kind" Flash asks.
"Something is telling me that this isn't an ordinary platform. We need a distraction" Batman says. Back inside the prison yard; Aquaman is getting tired due the heat and the fact he hasn't been near water in hours. "Aw you don't look so good" Juri says to the Aquaman. Juri's left eye glows, at super speed she delivers a powerful thrust kick to the King of Atlantis, hitting him on the chest. The impact of the kick sends him flying against the wall which causes Aquaman to go into a kneeling position.
"Can't finish me off on your own? It just like what you did to Superman and the Flash. You need help to fight your battles" Aquaman taunts Juri for not fighting fair. "You think I care? I may have had a little help but I did it on my own" Juri tells Aquaman. She makes a fist about to deliver another blow to Aquaman, but Juri stops when she hears sirens.
"Don't move I'll be right back" Juri tells Aquaman in a very seductive way. Juri heads to the security room to look at the monitors and sees Flash outside of the oil platform. "You think you learn by now" Juri who sees Flash looking around the platform.
Flash sees the entrance which turns to be an elevator, but is unaware that a gun turret appears from the metal floor, aiming at him. "Barry; behind you" J'onn telepathically contacts Flash. The speedster looks back to see the gun turret aiming at him. Martian Manhunter manage to destroy the turret by phasing through it. "It looks like Juri knows we're here" Flash telepathically tells J'onn.
Juri, who is still in the security room now sees Martian Manhunter on screen. "So now you want to show up. Let's see if can handle the heat" she says. Back outside; more gun turrets activate shooting at the two Justice League members. Flash uses his super speed to avoid the incoming fire while J'onn goes into camouflage mode. "I hope Batman and Crimon something get inside before Juri finds out" Flash says. J'onn looks at sky, nodding his head in agreement.
Elsewhere; Batman and Crimson Viper have made it inside through a secret passage from the oil platform. "A prison" said Crimson Viper as she looks around the open prison cells. "It's been active" Batman tells her who notices the lights are on. "Where's Aquaman" Crimson Viper asks. Batman notices the doors to the elevator are closed. "He went up" he tells her. Batman heads to the elevator but Crimson Viper looks around the prison cells.
"You go ahead. I'm going to find out about this underground prison" Crimson Viper tells Batman.
"Be careful" Batman tells who heads to the elevator. "You too" Viper tells him. She starts to the explore the prison when Crimson Viper sees two shadow figures. "It looks like someone else is as well" said Viper who sees them heading down so she decides to follow them.
In the security room; Juri just saw Flash and J'onn destroying all the gun turrets. "What a waste" said Juri. She looks at Aquaman recovering on one screen but also sees Batman on the other screen who is in the elevator. Aquaman tries to shut off the thermostat but Juri quickly stops him by delivering a spin kick to back of his head. "Don't even think about it. Just lay there for a second, I got to go greet your friend" Juri says.
Juri heads to the elevator as it reaches the floor she and Aquaman are in. The door opens only to find that no one is inside. "Where did he go" Juri asks as she looks inside the elevator. She looks down on the floor and sees three pellets. "Oh crap" said Juri who rolls her eyes as the three pellets releases smoke. Juri tries see within the smoke screen that surrounds her but she gets a surprised attack from Batman who appears from top of the elevator. Batman then throws a bola, preventing her to attack. He throws a bat-a-rang at the thermostat, shutting it off.
"You okay" Batman asks Aquaman who helps him up after taking beating from Juri. As Batman helps Aquaman gets to his feet; Juri's left eye begins to glow in the background with a sinister smile on her face. "Behind you" Aquaman tells Batman who sees Juri about to attack. Batman sees Juri throws a bat-a-rang at her but she easily destroys it due to her left eye which creates a barrier.
"Is that the best you got" an unimpressed Juri asks.
Crimson Viper continues to follow the shadow figures until they stop inside a large room. She secretly goes inside and sees Cheshire and Sportsmaster near a large device or some kind.
"This thing better work" said Cheshire while Sportsmaster is setting up the device. "If it doesn't; we're going to pay Vega a visit" Sportsmaster tells Cheshire.
"Did he just say Vega" a somewhat surprised Crimson Viper whispers. She comes out of hiding, confronting both Cheshire and Sportsmaster. "I didn't think two assassins would show up to a place like this" Viper says.
"Where did you come from" Cheshire asks who takes out her sword. "It doesn't matter where she come from" Sportsmaster tells Cheshire who presses a button.
"Warning, three minute until detonation. Please evacuate the facility." Sportsmaster activated the self-destruct as the room turns red giving. "You activated a self-destruct mechanism" Crimson Viper says. "In about less than three minutes, this place is going six feet under" Sportsmaster tells Viper.
"So If I was you, I would get out of here" Cheshire says. "There are other people in here" Viper tells them.
"Not our problem" said Cheshire who drops some smoke pellets on the floor. The smoke surround Crimson Viper as she tries to see but once the smoke vanishes both Cheshire and Sportsmaster are gone.
Back at the indoor prison yard; both Batman and Aquaman regroup but Juri is about to attack. "Juri; you need to stop this" Batman tries to reason with her due to the self-destruct has been activated. "You think I care" Juri asks Batman.
"In less than three minutes you should. This place is going to be no more" Aquaman tells Juri. "If that's the case then I'm taking you both with me" Juri says.
"Two minutes until detonation. Please evacuate the facility."
Juri's left eye begins to glow as well as her body, creating an aura. She's completely unaware that Miss Martian in camouflage mode is behind her. Juri is about to go for the attack when she is lifted up. "Hey what gives" said Juri. She looks back to see Miss Martian no longer in camouflage mode. "You again" said a disappointed Juri who would've expect Martian Manhunter and not his niece.
"Batman; someone activated the self-destruct and the worst part I can't shut it off. I'm heading out the facility" Crimson Viper says over Batman's earpiece.
"Juri you need to stop this" Batman reasons with the Korean woman. "Like I said I could care less what happens this place" Juri tells Batman as her left eye and body glows brighter, increasing her power which sends Aquaman, Batman, and Miss Martian flying to opposite sides of the prison yard. "Now which one I should take care of" Juri asks as she sees the three getting up. She decides to go after Miss Martian as Juri in super speed steps on her stomach with full force. "You know I haven't forgotten what you did to me" Juri tells M'gann as she applies more pressure to her stomach.
"I…don't want to…do this Juri, but you leave me no choice" M'gann says. "You can't do anything except die" Juri tells the female Martian. M'gann begins to transform into a White Martian, delivering a powerful telekinesis attack. The attack sends Juri to ceiling which hits her hard. Juri falls to the floor but she quickly recovers due to her power from her left eye.
"One minute until detonation. Please evacuate the facility."
With no regards of only one minute left until the secret prison explode; Juri glares at Miss Martian. Her left eye glows as Juri is ready to fight M'gann. Juri begins to go after the White Martian, but M'gann stops Juri with telekinesis before she can attack. "You think changing your appearance is going to stop me" Juri asks while struggles to get free.
"No, but this will" Miss Martian telepathically tells Juri. M'gann unleashes a brain blast which hits Juri mentally, leaving her unconscious. M'gann transforms back into her Green Martian self after defeating Juri. Batman and Aquaman head to where M'gann and a knocked out Juri is.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
A loud explosion can be heard as the prison yard they're in starts a somewhat earthquake. "The self-destruct ended" said Aquaman. Batman notices some very strange about the prison yard. "It's sinking. We need to get out of here now" Batman says. Batman tries to get the unconscious Juri but the ceiling starts coming down as a large piece of debris falls in between them. "There's nothing we can do" Aquaman tells Batman.
Batman, Aquaman, and Miss Martian head to the only elevator while avoiding falling debris. They're head the elevator but as they head inside; the room begins to shake. "It's not going to hold. Miss Martian; head to the top we'll catch up" Batman says.
Back outside; Crimson Viper is in the backseat of the Batplane. She watches the oil platform starting to sink. The Batplane suddenly activates the autopilot which flies up to top of the platform. The Bio-Ship is also close by no longer camouflaged. Crimson Viper sees Miss Martian phases through the elevator door.
"Viper; press the green button" Batman tells her over the earpiece. She unclips her seatbelt, pressing the green button which fires a missile, destroying the elevator. Both Batman and Aquaman climb up from the opening. Batman heads to the Batplane while Aquaman heads to the Bio-Ship, leaving the oil platform. Crimson Viper looks back to see the oil platform sinking to the ocean.
"What happen with Juri" she asks. "She was crushed within the debris. We couldn't get to her" Batman tells Viper. The Batplane and the Bio-Ship leaves the Antarctic Ocean with an unanswered question of Juri's fate.
I apologize for taking for so long but I wasn't in the writing mood because my grandma passed away and I couldn't concentrate.
The next chapter will be the final chapter.
