Alien Justice Chapter 3 Watt Happened
January 14th, Mount Justice 16.55
It had been about a week since the teams attack by Khyber and Ben's inclusion into the team and it had been quiet quiet since then although the team were trying to piece together some of details about Khyber's attack and his current whereabouts were unclear, Ben's inclusion into the team had been interesting to say the least as Artemis at least did not understand that someone like Ben was his worlds greatest hero and two other members Zatanna and Rocket still had doubt after hearing the details. Aqualad, Kid Flash and Miss Martian seemed to be good friends with Ben although this may be because Miss Martian had read Ben's mind and passed what she found on to them although Batman had called her out on it when he found out saying if she was going to do that with everyone who seemed untrustworthy it could lead to her abusing her telepathy. Robin and Kid Flash were currently playing Chess in Mount Justice and Kid Flash seemed to be losing
"This time you're going down" Kid Flash said as he used one of remaining pawns to take Robin's Bishop
"Like I haven't heard that before" Robin said as he moved his Queen in front of the opposing King
"Checkmate" Robin said smugly
"So how may wins to do you have now like 10" Kid Flash said in a disappointed tone
"15 and counting" Robin said before getting up from his seat
" How come you always win" Kid Flash said as as he followed Robin
"To put it simply your smarts aren't in strategy" Robin retorted
"I guess it is" Kid Flash replied smugly
"So do you and the magician have anything planned" Kid Flash said slyly to Robin
"If I had anything planned I wouldn't tell you" Robin said in a slightly angry tone
"Why" Kid Flash asked
"Because you would feel the need to crash it" Robin replied
"I guess I would" Kid Flash said sarcastically
"Recognized Aqualad B02, Zatanna B08, Rocket B09" The Computer said as Aqualad, Zatanna who was a teen aged girl wearing a black,white and yellow magicians outfit who had black hair and black eyes alongside Rocket who was black teenage girl with brown hair and eyes who was wearing
blue spandex under a grey and black suit with a red fancy belt
" I looked as thoroughly as I could but I couldn't find anything that would free my father from Doctor Fate" Zatanna was saying to Rocket as they teleported in
"Well lets hope you have better luck in the future" Rocket replied in a sympathetic tone
"Well it looks like we aren't the first ones here" Aqualad said as he noticed Robin and Kid Flash's presence
"Robin" Zatanna exclaimed excitedly before running towards Robin and hugging him
"So what reason would you two have to be here on a Friday Night" Rocket asked
"Beating this guy at chess" Robin said with a smirk on his face while pointing towards Kid Flash
"You're challenging Robin to a chess match, that's like firing bullets at Superman" Rocket said while trying to hold back laughter
"So why are you guys here" Robin asked
"We were called by Red Tornado to come here" Zatanna explained
"Why would Red Tornado call us here anyway" Robin asked before the teleporter started flaring up
"Recognized Red Tornado 16" Red Tornado then appeared from the teleporter and started walking towards them
"Greetings team I hope that you are well" Red Tornado said while holding his hand out to accept a handshake
"We are fine but why have you called us here" Zatanna asked as Red Tornado started walking to the spot that Batman would brief them on missions from
"This is what I am here to discuss" Red Tornado said as holographic screen appeared in front of him
"Temporal and Spacial Anomalies have been appearing around the world this last week in places like Metropolis to the North Pacific" Red Tornado said while the holographic screens showed swirls of purple energy in multiple locations
"Like the ones Ben and Khyber appeared from" Robin commented
"Exactly Robin but we want the team to focus on one location in particular" Red Tornado replied
"So where" Kid Flash asked
"We want the team to investigate Santa Prisca where strange electrical fluctuations have been happening since a spacial anomaly opened over it" Red Tornado said while the holographic screen
showed two map's of Santa Prisca one of which was normal and one which was covered in yellow patches to show the electrical fluctiations
"Are there any questions" Red Tornado asked causing the hands of all but Aqualad to shoot up
"Yes Zatanna" Red Tornado said
"Why is that your giving us mission briefings I thought that was Batman,s job" Zatanna replied
"It normally is but currently Superman,Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern and the Martian Manhunter are currently helping a version of Lex Luthor from another world to stop a evil version of the Justice League" Red Tornado continued
"Lets move" Aqualad commanded causing the team to run towards the hangar
"You may take the Bio-Ship I will inform Miss Martian of its absence when she returns" Red Tornado said as the Team ran into the distance
January 14th Atlantic Ocean, 17.53
"So I, Zatanna and Rocket will drop in at the front entrance allowing you two to sneak in through the back" Aqualad said while pressing a button on his belt turning the red parts of his suit dark grey while the Bio-Ship was hovering over Santa Prisca
"Aye Aye Captain" Robin said mockingly while saluting
"Good" Aqualad said while a hatch opened in the bottom of the Bio-Ship while the three prepared to jump
"Lets hope that today everyone will be coming without cybernetic prosthetics" Kid Flash said
"I would not mind that" Aqualad said as he jumped out before Rocket became enveloped in a pink glow and flew out after him
"See you guys later" Zatanna said before jumping out as well
"Wols ym laaf" Zatanna said causing her descent to slow to a crawl until she reached the ground
"So what now fearless leader" Rocket said as Zatanna landed
"We patch the motion and heat sensors surrounding Bane,s new stronghold first then we storm the entrance" Aqualad said as he handed the devices used to patch the sensors to Rocket and gave her the a holographic map showing where the strongholds sensors were
"Can you do this Rocket" Aqulad asked
"Of course" Rocket replied bashfully before flying away
"So we follow her" Zatanna said while Aqualad nodded noting a yes. The two then ran in the same direction
January 14th Santa Prisca, 17.57
The Bio-Ship was now camouflaged and hovering about 4 hundred meters behind the back of Bane's new stronghold. The building resembled a massive electrical generator and was black and white in colour
"Who knew Bane liked electricity so much" Kid Flash said as he pressed his chest symbol causing the costume to turn black and grey in colour
"There a two ways to enter from the back, we can either use the actual back entrance which is teeming with armed guards or we can use the sewers" Robin said while reading information on the holographic computer integrated into his suit
"Since we are being stealthy the sewers" Kid Flash said while the Bio-Ship flew towards a small holen in the ground filled with green waste. The two then attached cables that hanged from the ceiling to their suits and jumped out while lowering themselves into the hole
"Is it just me or does this smell like lightning has struck here" Kid Flash asked as they landed while holding his nose
"Considering the electrical fluctuations it makes perfect sense but would a sewer smell of it" Robin said the two walked through the sewer before Kid Flash saw something
"Look down there" Kid Flash said pointing downwards. Robin then looked down to see that a tiny creature was lying on the ground
"What is this" Robin said as he turned it over to examine it. The creature resembled a battery with a silver cap over their heads, lightning bolts on their stomachs, yellow eyes and white teeth along with small arms and legs. And this one was completely limp
"Is this thing dead" Kid Flash said in a worried tone
"Appears to be" Robin said as he used his holographic computer to scan the creature
"This being appears to have a small amount of electrical residue on it" Robin said
"Do you think this these beings are responsible for the electrical fluctuations" Kid Flash asked noticing several other limp corpses across the tunnel
"It seems likely" Robin said as he put the creature down
"Kid Flash to Aqualad, Me and Robin have found the remains of some creature in the sewers of the base. It looks like a battery and we think that the electricity we have been detecting is from them"
Kid Flash said through his comlink in a solemn tone
January 14th Santa Prisca, 18.00
"Affirmative Kid Flash, And I am assuming that they are from Ben's world considering what Red Tornado told us" Aqualad said while him and Zatanna walked through the leaves before finding themselves at the entrance out of the forest where they could see the entrance which was surrounded by guards wearing black clothing with a cap and where wielding guns
"I have disabled all the sensors you guys are good to go" Rocket said over the comlink
"Go" Aqualad said to Zatanna before she walked forward
"Mrasid" Zatanna said causing the guns of the guards to to fly out of their hands
"Thanks" Aqualad said while using his water bearers to create hammers. He then ran towards them using his hammers to knock out three guards with a sidewards swing. He then jumped and hit two on the head knocking them down. He then turned the hammers into maces and then swang them at the guards knocking down a few more.
"Ssarg worg dna eransne meht" Zatanna said causing the grass to rapidly grow under the guards feet and wrap around them stopping them from moving
"Missed Me" Rocket said as she flew in ramming into the remaining guards in the process and knocking them to their feet
"Lets go" Aqualad said as he walked towards the entrance while the others followed
January 14th Santa Prisca 18.05
"Remind me when the next time we have a choice between armed guards and a sewer we pick the guards" Kid Flash said as he and Robin climbed out of a hatch into the building while trying to wipe some goey substance of his suit. They had ended up in a large hallway with glass tubes which were coursing with electricity and moving it throughout the building
"Wow" Kid Flash said in amazement
"Lets move before somebody comes in here and finds us" Robin as he started walking along
the corridor. They then moved along the corridor for about a minute before Kid Flash stopped in his
tracks
"Can you hear something" Kid Flash said as a slight clanging sound entered the place
"I can now" Robin said as he approached the nearest door and tried to listen
"I can hear voices" Robin said before turning around to face his comrade
"And look at that all the tubes originate from here" Kid Flash said pointing upwards
"Our job now is to get inside" Robin said while investigating the area
"So how do we get in its not like we can break through the door and not expect them to retaliate"
Kid Flash ranted on
"We can use that vent" Robin said pointing to a vent covering about three meters up which was venting a strange gas that had the same smell as found in the sewer
"How convenient" Kid Flash replied in a snarky tone
"Help me up" Robin said to Kid Flash as he put on a gas mask. Kid Flash then hoisted Robin up
who then removed the vent covering and jumped in
"This one is too small for you to crawl through so wait until I make contact to enter" Robin said as
he started crawling through it
"Be careful" Kid Flash said
"I will" Robin replied before proceeding to use the comlink
"Aqualad we have found the the source of the energy as which appears to serve as a enemy meeting room, once I get there I will record the enemies conversation and send it to you" Robin said while crawling through the fog covered vent
"We will be waiting" Aqualad said through the other end of the comlink
"Production is as scheduled" said another voice from outside the vent. Robin then set his holographic computer to record before finding the end of the vent and silently picking the bolt out
before pulling it in and laying it out in front of him before jumping out. He scanned the room
noticing that the room was full of jars which contained the battery like aliens which connected with
glass tubes that carried electricity out of the room. Robin then ducked behind a series of crates that were lining the walls. Robin then looked over the room. Robin then got a better look at who was inside the room. One was a large Hispanic man wearing a black and white luchodore mask along with a black armless top and grey trousers, he also had tubes running from his hear to his armas he was known as Bane. Alongside Bane there was a dome shaped robot with a brain covered by a glass dome alongside a gorilla wearing a red beret and green harness. These were The Brain and Monsieur Mallah
"I am pleased with your report Bane this will please our associates non" The Brain said in a heavy French accent
"Thanks sir I am please that our partnership has been most rewarding" Bane said as he shoke hands with Monsieur Mallah
"But there is something that I wish to address if you don't mind" Bane asked
"Speak away but if you cross a line the next time you see I will be prying you open to see the effects of Venom on the human body" The Brain said menacingly
"Although you guys made a good job building this place in such a hurray. But the walls are not soundproof enough I sometimes hear things I do not want through the walls" Bane said with a disgusted look on his face towards the end
"The guys who designed this place is both new to our group and has a over inflated view of both his intelligence and that of his species as a whole, however I will call him in to do proper sound proofing" The Brain said as Bane led him and Mallah to the other side of the room to a pile of crates on the other side. Bane then opened one and took out a battery shaped glass container with
yellow energy coursing through it
"Great work Bane The Lights new partner will be quite pleased ha ha ha " The Brain said as he used a robotic arm to pick one up. However Robin then moved from his hiding place to the door however on the way he knocked one of crates surrounding the door slightly causing the three to notice him
"I did not expect such little pests to enter my domain" The Brain said as the three approached Robin with Bane using the liquid in the tubes to bulk up while Mallah took out a mini gun and aimed it at Robin. He then fired at Robin who jumped to the side avoiding the bullets, Bane then charged at and attempted to slam Robin into the ground however Robin the somersaulted back at the last minute. Robin then took a Birdarang and then threw it at The Brain who used a built in laser cannon to destroy it
"How can you expect to fight us all nino" Bane said to Robin with a menacing grin on his face
"Who said I came alone" Robin said before a moment later then the door blew of his hinges revealing Aqualad, Kid Flash, Zatanna and Rocket
"I would have blew the door down for them but you guys moved up their schedule" Robin said as the other walked into the room
"Ill take Brainstrom" Kid Flash said as he started running towards The Brain
"Brainstorm" Rocket said with a bewildered expression. She then looked at Zatanna who just shrugged before they ran towards Monsieur Mallah. Aqualad then along with Robin charged at Bane
"I break your teacher now I will break you" Bane said as he ran to grab Robin who then slid under his legs. Aqualad then created water whips which he then wrapped around Bane's arm to keep him in place. Robin then jumped up and kicked Bane in the face who shrugged back a bit. Bane then
tugged on the whips and then walked backwards dislodging the whips. Bane then charged towards
Aqualad and punched him in the face knocking him back slightly before Bane then prepared to slam both his fist onto Aqualad,s head. But Robin threw a birdarang at Bane aiming for Bane's Venome Tube however Bane then grabbing Aqualad caused the birdarang to only graze his neck. Bane then
tried to look around to locate Robin however Aqualad then threw Bane off and then created water hammers and hit Bane in the face with them before hitting Bane across the chest. Robin then ran towards and then kicked Bane in the stomach knocking Bane back slightly
"Maybe it it us who will be breaking you" Aqualad said as he turned his water hammers into water maces before charging at Bane
Monsieur Mallah had taken out a laser gun and was firing at Zatanna and Rocket who were being protected by Rockets force bubble " Oorlf espalloc" The Floor then suddenly buckled under Monsieur Mallah,s feat. Rocket then flew towards Monsieur Mallah and rammed into him and knocking him back. Mallah then took out a giant cannon from his back which he then fired at Rocket which trapped her in a energy net. Mallah then aimed the weapon at Zatanna "Wolb pu eht ygrene ten rehcnual" Zatanna said before Mallah's weapon blew up in his face knocking him back
"Eerf tekcor" The energy net surrounding Rocket then disappeared "Thanks" Rocket said as she took flight. Mallah then took out another energy gun and started firing at them. Rocket then erected another force bubble "How come it is that villains are either to hard or to easy to beat" Rocket said with a slightly annoyed look on her face "I don't think that this is an appropriate time to ask that question" Zatanna said from behind Rocket "Will your magic work on my force bubble" Rocket asked "I don't know I have never tried it before" Zatanna said in a slightly confused tone "Well I was thinking we could give him an eye for eye" Rocket said to Zatanna with a grin on her face
"Okay, Tcelfer s'hallam stohs kcab ta mih" Zatanna said as Rockets force bubble turned purple and reflected Mallah's shots back at him knocking him to the floor and out cold
"And stay down" Zatanna said while panting slightly
"You cant catch me" Kid Flash said as he zipped to the side to avoid one of the Brains laser blasts
"Stay still you microscopic germ" The Brain said in frustration while Kid Flash was dodging even more of his laser blasts "no thanks this is to much fun to pass up" Kid Flash said before running to get behind the Brain "You know I think you may need some upgrades" Kid Flash said cockily
before The Brain then turned so that he could fire a shot at him. However he then dashed so that he appeared beside The Brain. Kid Flash then zipped backwards before running forwards as fast as he can to deliver a punch toThe Brain knocking him over "For the record do not do that again" Kid Flash said while clutching his hand in pain
"You delinquents have become troublesome" The Brain said angrily while lying there helpless "Bane we are leaving" The Brain said to Bane who was currently trying to wrestle Aqualad to the floor. Bane then nodded back and released Aqualad before running to The Brains side. The five heroes then conglomerated in one spot in front of the villains ready to attack
"Au revior" The Brain said before a red light appeared on The Brains body and then a yellow light. A vortex full of white lines then sucked The Brain and Bane in before other ones picked up the unconscious Monsieur Mallah and all the crates
"What just happened" Rocket asked while the others had confused looks on their faces and just shrugged. But after that they heard frantic noises and the sound of heavy footsteps. It also sounded like some of them were stumbling over each other in a panic
"Its sounds like the workers are evacuating" Robin said with a slightly worried tone
"Are you completely sure that the Brain has activated the self destruct what if its a cop out like the last time " Kid Flash asked
"We should take that risk, evacuate immediately" Aqualad said in a commanding tone, Kid Flash then grabbed Robin and started running while Rocket started flying and picked up Zatanna. The four then speeded out the door leaving Aqualad to follow
January 14th Santa Prisca 18.17
The Team was now at the front entrance and running further away from the building. They then also spotted some of Bane's soldiers escaping into the forest
"Where's the Bio-Ship" Robin asked while being carried by Kid Flash and looking like he is about to be sick
"I don't know but it is probably searching the island for us now " Aqualad replied
"I am sorry if this is spoiling the mood but we have a potentially exploding factory behind" Rocket said before the building exploded causing wreckage to fly everywhere some of which they just narrowly missed
"It is a shame we could not get any more evidence from that place" Robin said while looking queasy and about to throw up
"?What type of plan do you think they have planned this time" Zatanna asked
"I do not know but whatever it is we will stop it" Aqualad said in an inspiring tone while looking at the remains of the building with a confident smile on his face
January 14th Unknown Location 18.36
The Brain and Bane were currently in a dark hall with several screens hanging on the walls. There appeared to be a large hulking figure in the darkness
"Welcome back The Brain I hope your inspection went as good as planned" The figure said in a deep gruff voice
"Unfortunately we ran into a few setbacks" The Brain said in a somewhat angry tone
"What problems" The figure said in a slightly angry tone
"We were discovered out by the League,s lackeys, we do not know what they found but Cerebro here self destructed the base to stop them getting any more information and hopefully killed them, although I don't think that worked" Bane said with a slightly worried look on his face
"But I was able to transport the fruits of our labour here" The Brain said while Bane opened one of the crates revealing the batteries inside which glowed in the darkness. The hulking figure then went to examine the contents
"With this shipment we finally have enough to commence Phase Two of our new project, Our new Partner will be very pleased" The hulking figure then picked up one of the batteries revealing his face. He was dark skinned and had black hair and brown eyes who had three pale scars across his face. His name was Vandal Savage
"Lets hope the world sees The Light" Vandal Savage said in a menacing tone
