Chapter 10: Little Green Men and Gods
On Mars…
Miss Martian was overseeing the operations on the red planet. Inside the monitoring room were two cryogenic chambers, containing two figures. The White Martian queen looked at the readings on the computer and nodded approvingly,
"I must admit, the cybernetics for these creations is impressive, for humans, a species that thrives so much on war. In a way, I can understand that, the White Martians are just as ravenous in destruction as they are."
She grinned evilly and walked to the vessels,
"Humans have one thing that I have always found fascinating; the concept of irony. This machine is the result of humans who wish destruction upon those they consider their enemies. How…ironic…that it would be used in the destruction of ours."
She looked at the other pod,
"And, this one is also the result of humanoid engineering; that also brought doom and sorrow against its creators."
She began to laugh evilly, anticipating the coming destruction and suffering of the White Martians' enemies.
Meanwhile, on Earth…
Batman and Mr. Fantastic were fighting their way into the central control room on board the ship. The stretchable scientist constricted a White Martian and bashed him into a wall,
"We are near the control room. What happens when we get there?"
The Dark Knight threw several exploding Bat-arangs, incinerating the White Martians behind them,
"Hopefully, we can figure out a way to bring down all the ships at once."
Reed created a mallet with his fists,
"But, won't innocent people die if we bring them down over the major cities?"
Batman looked at Reed,
"This is coming from the guy that cloned Thor and set him loose on a severally under powered force? And you saw Farrah's a terrorist."
Reed glared,
"She is a terrorist. She broke the law. When you don't do what the law says you should do, then you are a criminal and terrorist to the public."
Batman punched out another White Martian,
"So, what does that make you? You're creation killed two people!"
Reed shrugged,
"I was just following orders."
Tim shook his head, disgusted, and pressed on.
Over the skies of the mid-west…
Asgard, the mythical land of the Norse gods, was hovering several feet off the ground. In an attempt to recreate the deific land, Thor ended up putting it far closer to Midgard than he had realized. While the other gods were a bit surprised and angered that their home was so close to the mortal realm, they were in no argument when the White Martians were invading.
Thor, the hammer wielding god of thunder, rose high above a White Martian ship. He raised his hammer, bellowing,
"LIGHTNING, UNLEASH YOUR FURY!"
Several penetrating jolts of electricity rained down from the sky, arcing all over the ship. In seconds, the ship exploded, scattering the remains of the ship across miles and miles of farm lands in miniscule pieces. The people on the ground cheered at the White Martians' defeat. Thor looked down at the crowd and smiled. He then spun his hammer and teleported away.
In Washington DC…
Wonder Woman, Persiana, War Machine, and Iron Man had blasted their way inside another White Martian ship and were making their way to the bridge. Wonder Woman slashed with her sword at several of the alien invaders, spilling their blood all over the ship corridors,
"At last, a battle worthy of an Amazon warrior!"
Persiana delivered a rotating split kick to two White Martians, grinning,
"Easy there, love. We've still got a long way to go."
Iron Man opened up with a Repulsor blast, commenting,
"I can't believe my daughter is dating another woman." (1)
War Machine cleared the hallway behind them with several missiles,
"Does that bother you?"
Iron Man fired at the turrets,
"No, but it does make me wonder why I ever gave up alcohol in the first place."
The Amazon princess slammed her armored boot into another White Martian,
"Focus on the battle! The enemy must fall, for all our sakes!"
War Machine looked at Iron Man,
"Bossy, isn't she?"
Farrah shouted,
"Don't talk about my girlfriend like that!"
Tony blinked,
"That is going to take me some serious getting used to."
Back to Batman and Mr. Fantastic…
The two had reached the bridge and Batman studied the computers,
"There has to be a way to tap into all of the ship and cause them to get conflicting orders."
Reed nodded,
"Yes. I think I can access it."
Studying the command console for a moment, the stretchable scientist began pressing keys in a certain order. Batman pulled out his gun and said,
"Keep going. I'll cover you."
The malleable hero was lost in his thoughts. Soon, he said,
"Of course. I have found it!"
He finished the sequence of codes and keys.
No sooner than he completed the last of the sequence that the White Martian ships began to power down. Without a proper propulsion system to fly or keep them afloat, White Martian ships all over the world began powering down and crashing.
On Mars…
Miss Martian was surprised,
"No, they have destroyed the ships! The humans figured out our technology!"
She slammed her fists into the control console, but a maniacal, fang-filled smile slithered across her lips. The White Martian queen grinned,
"Now, I will unleash my trump card! These humans will die today!"
She pressed a button, opening both of the cryogenic coffins…
Back in New York City…
Iron Man and the pro-registration heroes were meeting Titans Tomorrow. The armored Avenger folded his arms,
"You do realize that there is no way you're ever getting pardoned for this, right?"
Persiana folded her arms,
"Don't bet on it. We saved the Earth."
Thing snarled,
"Yeah, after you attacked us and nearly killed Alicia and Suzie!"
Wonder Woman huffed,
"I did say no harm would come to her if you did what you were supposed to. We'll take our leave now."
War Machine readied two shoulder cannons,
"Don't think about leaving anytime soon."
She-Hulk and the other Avengers took defensive stances. Superman shook his head,
"You really think you can beat us? You don't even know any of our weaknesses."
"They do, however."
The heroes all turned to the voice they had just heard.
It was the cybernetic Thor, glaring sadistically and murderously at the heroes. However, that was not the worst that could happen in this instance.
Next to the clone of Thor was a silver android with shining green eyes. He said,
"Greetings, humans. I am Brainiac."
