Final Chapter: Path of the Padawan
Bialya January 7th 2333 Hours UTC
Sylas stood in a room, nothing but pure darkness surrounding him. He looked around and then, seeing that all was safe, he took out a small knife and placed its blade on the palm of his hand. He took a deep breath before then slitting back the knife, causing a small amount of blood to drop. Sylas looked to his blood before he extended his hand, causing the one drop to stop. He then looked up before then using the Force to separate the blood, spreading all over the room until it lit up, revealing several figures, all sitting on thrones shaped like Phoenixes.
Sylas silently sat down in his own throne, looking all over the room. "Our agenda?" he asked.
A man in blue, technological armor with a helmet that showed a tan face, stood up. "With the help from your Symbio-Enhancer Drug, my new Evolution Serum is now a success." He stated.
"One good turn deserves another." Sylas replied. He then looked to three girls, one in light blue with an I-shaped necklace, one in dark purple with a D-shaped necklace, and the other in violet with an S-shaped necklace, all wearing robes that matched their colors, and crystals were in their chests. "Report." Sylas then said, glaring at the three girls.
"The power of Messiah flows through all of us, Sylas." The girl in blue said sadistically. "Now, no magic can stop us thanks to the power of the Dark Side of the Force. The time for our resurrection will nearly come, and with the help of the ORDER, that time will come soon."
"Well, since your plan seems to be going as a success, I guess we can spare having us witches haunt you at night, James." The girl in violet added on, seeming both a bit disappointed and a bit sinister.
"Glad to hear it, young ladies." Sylas replied through gritted teeth. He then looked to a man with black and blue armor with yellow streaks. "Your progress?" Sylas asked.
"As an intergalactic genius and a world traveler, our reunion should come soon." The first armored man spoke up.
"However, we must face reality should our respective foes find out our true intentions." Another man in armor, this time light blue and having a shark design, stated.
"Then it is time for all of us to stop holding back, and show the Multiverse what we can truly do!" a Sith Lord then stated.
"Agreed, Malgus." Sylas stated. He then looked to two other figures. "And you?"
"I evolve every day since the day the ORDER granted me my powers." A girl in black armor with red gauntlets on both arms said.
"With the power from the Force given to us by Messiah, I come back to life every time I am struck down!" another figure, who appeared to have the form of a Phoenix, added on.
"Save your energy, Phoenix." Sylas said. He then looked to the last figure, this one donning a silver helmet with a T-shaped visor, splinters on each finger, and several lightsabers on his belt.
"I shall still require time to ensure my victory against the Jedi in my Universe." The man stated, letting out distorted breathing as he scraped his fingers along the arm rest of his throne.
"And my magic will still require more power!" a man in golden Phoenix robes proclaimed.
"Then it is time for action!" a loud voice exclaimed. Everyone looked around in surprise, immediately knowing the eerie and distorted voice.
"Lord Messiah!" everyone exclaimed. Their thrones then disappeared before they all bowed down towards Messiah, his floating skull appearing before them.
Messiah floated around before roaring, looking down to Sylas. "You have an army, waiting for your signal." Messiah stated. Sylas kept his head down low as his ghostly Sith Master snarled. "You will launch an invasion that will bring every city and human population to its knees!"
"I will not fail you, Majesty Messiah." Sylas swore to his Master. He then stood up and then started to lift up his lightsaber hilt, activating its black blade and holding it up in front of his face. "And now, my daughter, Xion, has been fully trained in your sacred ways. She is now ready."
Messiah growled and sent out Black Sith Lightning all over the room, the Council of the ORDER allowing themselves to be hit with the lightning. "Despite your claims, I sense that Xion still has much to learn!" Messiah exclaimed. Sylas just nodded at this before Messiah spoke up again. "In due time, when her skill and prowess grows, Xion shall receive my blessing!" Messiah yelled out again. Sylas looked up to his Sith Master and grinned before Messiah turned to the rest of the Council of the ORDER. "Soon, very soon, the ORDER shall be feared by all!" He yelled out.
"LET THE ORDER RULE SUPREME!" Everyone exclaimed. Messiah laughed before the meeting was soon dismissed.
Sylas then walked out of the room, entering a large hallway. His footsteps echoed throughout the halls as he soon entered a balcony. Sylas looked down to the hordes of ORDER soldiers and Generals in his army. All of them had their weapons cradled in their arms. Barriss Offee, Blood Bane, Falcon, Inertia, Ultraboy, Silver Martian, Prowler, Xanadu and Enola stood at one side of Sylas while on the other side stood Striker, Syrena, Xever, Slick, Ivo and Cad Bane.
Sylas cleared his throat as he looked around to the ORDER. "My brothers and sisters in arms," Sylas started out, spreading his arms out. "The world is changing. A new power is rising. Our victory… is at hand!" Sylas went on, gaining grins from his generals. "We shall rule this Universe, and Earth itself, rising up to godhood. The old world will burn in the fires of the past. Forests will fall. Our ORDER will rise as we shift the gears of war to our favor with the swords of the Sith and the strength of Messiah!"
Everyone yelled with war cries of victory before Sylas continued on. "We have only to remove those who oppose us." Sylas reminded them all. Everyone went silent before Sylas went on. "From this day forward, the ORDER shall be known to all! The land will be stained with the blood of the heroes! We shall do what must be done! March on, leave none alive!" Sylas called out, everyone cheering, and more grins coming from the Generals, eventually becoming Slasher Smiles. "We go to war with the world! There shall be absolute justice… FOR THE ORDER!" Sylas concluded, thrusting his hand into the air, sending out both Sith Lightning and Fire. Everyone else shot up blasts into the air soon afterwards, all flares combining to form the great Black Phoenix Emblem of the ORDER.
Chicago January 8th 0132 Hours UTC-6:00
Alakshmi walked throughout Chicago, concealing herself with a violet shirt and green jeans. She entered an alley before looking around. Seeing that the coast was clear for her, she unsheathed her scepter, aiming it at the top antennas of Willis Tower. "The message will be delivered." She said out loud. With that, she shot golden lightning at Willis Tower, causing an explosion.
Everyone looked up in surprise as the antennas of Willis Tower fell off. Alakshmi then used the Force to grab the antennas, using them to carve into the ground. Everyone looked in surprise as the Black Phoenix Emblem of the ORDER was then engraved into the ground.
Seeing as her part of the job was done, Alakshmi placed her hand to her ear. "Part one of Phase I is complete." She reported as she started to leave. "Striker, make your mark." After saying that, she vanished into black mist, and the same mist started to appear from the Emblem of the ORDER.
Metropolis January 8th 0710 Hours EDT
Striker stood by the Daily Planet Building as he looked on towards the LexCorp Tower. "Time for the show." He quipped, unsheathing an EE3 Carbine Rifle. He then started to shoot at the building, jumping into the air and spinning around as he did so.
Within the LexCorp Building, Lex Luthor was having a glass of Sparkling Cider and watching the news with his bodyguard and secretary at his side, Mercy Graves. "So, I take it that having a safe alliance with the Separatists is no longer an option?" Lex asked dryly.
Just then, the glass on the window shattered, plasma blaster bolts impacting and also hitting his wine glass. As soon as the blasts on his window ceased, he looked over to Mercy, now in pieces of shattered robotic parts. Lex sighed and stood up, placing a finger to his ear. "Gibson, Mercy XVI has just been eviscerated, my office is in ruins, and I've run out of wine." He said to his security manager. "Find whoever was behind the attack and prepare my jet."
Outside, Striker continued to open fire on the LexCorp building, until he eventually made the Black Phoenix Symbol of the ORDER. Victor Deacon then reached his hand out, pulling it towards him soon after, and causing black mist to appear. He then placed a finger to his ear as he walked away. "Do your work, Xever." Striker reported. "My job here is done."
Gotham City January 8th 0735 Hours EDT
Xever chuckled upon hearing Striker's report. "Right away, en el doble." Xever Scythe replied back, looking over towards Bruce Wayne's mansion. "Este evento a parece muy emocionado." He said to himself in Spanish. He then let out all of his knives and aimed them at the Wayne Mansion. "Fuego in the hole!" He yelled out, throwing ten knives at the building.
Within the building, Alfred Pennyworth came in with a tray holding a wine glass and some fermented Apple Cider. "Here is your drink, Master Bruce." Alfred said in a respective tone.
Bruce smiled to Alfred and nodded. "Thank you, Alfred." He said, pouring himself some cider into his wine glass.
At that moment, ten knives shattered the windows, causing Alfred to then toss his round, metallic tray. The tray stopped at least four knives before twenty more came. Alfred gasped and then took out his gun, shooting at the knives while Bruce sat down at his desk, still drinking his glass until a knife shattered it as well.
Bruce then looked around, seeing the damage. Alfred took out Bruce's cellphone and handed it to him. The Dark Knight in disguise opened the phone and started to scroll on it, eventually reaching Clark on his Contacts List. He then pressed a button and started to speak into it. "Come to the Cave. My new desk has just been destroyed, my office is filled with shattered glass and shurikens, and I've just lost my last stock of cider." He reported. He then went to press a button under his dinosaur skeleton model, activating the entrance to the BatCave.
From afar, Xever continued to throw more knives until eventually, the mark of the ORDER was formed all over the building. "That should send out the message." He said to himself. He then walked away into a mirror, where he disappeared, and black mist began to emerge from the Dark Phoenix Sign of the ORDER.
Mount Justice January 8th 801 Hours EDT
"Recognized, Miss Martian B-05." The AI of the Cave announced. Ahsoka, Anakin and Obi-Wan, who were all looking over the data archives on the holocomputers of the Cave, immediately looked over to Miss Martian arrive, smiling to Ahsoka as she held a box with blue and green wrapping paper in her hands. The rest of the Team, who were either training with each other or the Clone Troopers, all stopped as well, and looked over to M'gann.
Ahsoka walked up to M'gann and the two laughed, hugging each other and then doing air kisses to each other's cheeks. "Hello, Megan!" Ahsoka exclaimed. The two laughed again before Ahsoka sighed. "I remember the very day you said that to me for the first time." She reminisced.
M'gann chuckled and nodded. "To be honest, I was quite embarrassed when you mistook what I meant."
"I thought you were saying that I was Megan!" Ahsoka exclaimed. The two shared another laugh before Ahsoka finally took notice of the box in M'gann's hand. "By the way, what's that?" Ahsoka asked.
M'gann chuckled before Anakin and Obi-Wan walked up as well. "Well, Ahsoka, since today marks the one year since you arrived here, I wanted to give you a birthday gift." M'gann explained.
"'Birthday'?" Anakin asked. "What's that?"
The rest of the Team, as well as Black Canary, who watching them as they trained, all walked up. "Wonder why there's no such thing as birthdays where you come from." Dinah asked.
Wally chuckled and walked up next to M'gann. "It's the one, exact same day each year that you celebrate when you were born." The speedster explained. "Mine was on November 11, 1994."
Obi-Wan nodded as he placed his hand to his chin. "Ah, yes." The Negotiator said as if this was all coming back to him. "Anakin and I have been researching everything about Earth, and as of now, when I come to think of it, we can't recall when our birthdays were, considering there were no months in our Universe, only cycles and moons." Obi-Wan said.
The Team all smiled to Anakin and Obi-Wan before looking back to Ahsoka. She turned back to M'gann, who was holding the wrapped present in front of her. "Should I open it?" Ahsoka asked.
"Hell, yeah!" M'gann exclaimed, shoving the box into Ahsoka's chest. "Your birthday, your decision to make."
Ahsoka chuckled and shrugged, grabbing the present with her hands and then looking to a small envelope on the top of the box. Curiously, she removed the envelope and using a small letter-opener to slice the top open.
Ahsoka then noticed a card within the envelope. Slowly, the Togrutan took the card out and opened it. "'For a whole year as a great friend, Jedi, and more importantly, the one I consider to be like a sister to me, Happy Birthday, Ahsoka Tano, from Megan.'" Ahsoka read out loud. A tear then fell down the side of her face as she read this. M'gann smiled to Ahsoka before the young Togrutan then embraced her best friend. "Thank you!" she exclaimed.
"You really do mean that much to me, Ahsoka." M'gann stated, letting a tear fall as she hugged Ahsoka back.
Ahsoka then smiled as the two let go of each other. Ahsoka looked into the envelope, and she then saw a card. She looked to it, and saw two Visa Cards, one showing her real name and the other showing her human alias moniker. Ahsoka smiled at this before she then went to open the box. Carefully unwrapping the present, Ahsoka smiled as she saw what was inside. She looked up to Ahsoka and smiled. "The complete set to the 'Ranger's Apprentice' series?" she asked.
Zatanna laughed and walked up next to Ahsoka. "We have noticed how much you like those books." The mage stated.
"Got all of them as exclusive copies, hardback covers, and signed by John Flanagan himself." M'gann added on.
Ahsoka looked to all the books and shrieked before she hugged M'gann once again. "Thank you! It's just what I've always wanted!" the Togrutan Padawan exclaimed.
Anakin looked down to the books before Ahsoka ripped the plastic covering it off and then Force-Lifting every book in rows of two, showing each of the five books. Anakin carefully picked up one book and started to read the back of it. "'You have been chosen. You are the Ranger's Apprentice. You and you alone. You will become the eyes and ears of the kingdom, learning to move as silent as a shadow. Your arrow will fly true and your sword be swift, risking your life to protect your people. You are the Ranger's Apprentice. Are you ready?'" Anakin read. After reading the synopsis, Anakin looked to Obi-Wan in confusion, who had a smirk on his face.
"Sounds like quite an adventure story." Obi-Wan complimented. "That synopsis almost reminds me of when I first met Duchess Satine." He added on. Ahsoka and Anakin then looked to him with confusion before he shrugged and chuckled. "Okay, minus the bows and arrows, but still the same nonetheless."
"Try completely different and heart-dropping, Master Kenobi!" Ahsoka exclaimed. "This series is the best I have ever read!" the Togrutan added on. "Starting his life as an orphan, he was tested by the Ranger, Halt, and together, they embarked on adventures that would become ultimately breathtaking!" Ahsoka stated. "I swear, it's awesome!"
Anakin chuckled and placed the first book, "The Ruins of Gorlan", back on the floor and in its correct position. "These do seem pretty interesting to read, Ahsoka." The Chosen One stated. Ahsoka looked up to Anakin and smiled before he pulled up a holoscreen. "Now, let's see what you've been up to ever since you left." He then said.
Ahsoka smiled and nodded as she placed all the books back into the box. The rest of the Team walked up to Ahsoka as Anakin started to look over everything Ahsoka went through during the time she was on Earth. So far, all of her reports were pleasing him, but his eyes widened upon reaching a report from her earlier adventures. "You were stabbed in the chest?!" Anakin exclaimed.
Ahsoka gasped before she stepped up. "Technically, it didn't kill me, per se, as I received some new powers during that time, enough to wipe out the Terror Titans led by Barriss." Ahsoka reasoned.
Anakin took some time to take this in before looking to Ahsoka. "You're safe from harm now, right?" he asked.
Ahsoka nodded. "Yes, Anakin, I'm fine." Ahsoka reassured her Master. "There's no need to worry."
Anakin sighed and looked to some more reports. "So, you can now specialize in unarmed combat called 'Mixed Martial Arts'?" Anakin then asked.
Black Canary stepped up and patted Anakin on the shoulder. "She's not bad, but there's a lot that I could teach her." Dinah Lance said. Anakin looked to Black Canary before she craned her neck to Ahsoka. "Come on. Let's show Anakin how far your training has gotten you." The Bird of Prey said.
Ahsoka shrugged and cracked her knuckles before cracking her neck. "Alright, I'm game." She quipped.
Black Canary chuckled as the holoscreens started to disappear. Everyone got out of the circle as Ahsoka Tano and Black Canary both got into fighting stances. "Begin!" Dinah then called out.
Ahsoka struck first by jumping into the air and kicking with her right foot, which was followed by a right elbow. Black Canary attempted to perform a right hook at the Jedi, but Ahsoka dodged it and ducked under her before kicking Black Canary in the back. Dinah gasped as she was knocked forwards, but soon regained herself. However, as Ahsoka attempted to perform a counter-right hook, Black Canary spun around and gutted her in the stomach. The Bird of Prey then attempted to sweep her right leg under Ahsoka's, but she flipped over it and then performed a high roundhouse kick in order to avoid Black Canary's left hook. Ahsoka then quickly kicked Dinah Lance away before she charged at her once again.
As this happened, both Anakin and Obi-Wan were watching with interest. "You know, she's not too bad." Anakin stated. Obi-Wan and the rest of the Team then looked over to Anakin with confusion. "I meant Ahsoka!" he then cleared up. Everyone all nodded, now understanding before going back to watch the battle go on, Ahsoka gaining the upper hand.
Black Canary then attempted to regain herself, and just in time too, as Ahsoka performed a left hook, which Dinah shoved aside before she countered back with a right hook. Ahsoka grabbed Black Canary's fist and then twisted it, causing Dinah to slightly groan in pain before Ahsoka then twirled her away. Dinah chuckled before she then brought both her arms down on Ahsoka, but she grabbed them and then twirled both the arms and Dinah around into the air.
Dinah charged forwards, performing a high roundhouse kick. Ahsoka leaned back to avoid it, and then sensed that Black Canary was about to perform another kick. Quickly, Ahsoka jumped into the air, avoiding a lower roundhouse kick before she performed a high right kick while Dinah performed a high left kick. Both legs briefly clashed with each other before Black Canary broke them off by swinging Ahsoka's leg aside.
The two grunted, Black Canary attempting a left jab before attacking with a right hook, both of which Ahsoka blocked and fended off against by sliding her arm against Black Canary's right. The two stood parallel to each other, both seeming to be off-balance until Ahsoka and Dinah both leapt back, performing dropkicks at each other. Ahsoka managed to throw aside Black Canary's incoming kick before twisting the Bird of Prey around, managing to land a perfect dropkick on her.
Anakin then stepped forwards after seeing Dinah drop to the ground, a red "failure" sign hovering over her. The Chosen One looked to Ahsoka and smirked. "Impressive. Most impressive." He complimented. Ahsoka looked up to Anakin and chuckled before her Master then patted her on the shoulder. "This extra training must have saved you a lot." Anakin added on. "I feel so proud."
"Stop that, Skyguy!" Ahsoka teased. "You're making me blush."
At that minute, the Zeta Tubes started to light up. "Recognized: Superman, 01, Batman: 02." The Cave AI announced. The Team all looked towards the two Justice Leaguers in capes before Batman immediately pulled up a holoscreen of Metropolis. Ahsoka helped Black Canary up as the Team, Anakin and Obi-Wan, and the Clones all headed towards Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent. "What's the problem?" Aqualad asked.
Batman turned to everyone and narrowed his eyes. "The ORDER." He stated. Everyone gasped in surprise before multiple holoscreens emerged, showing enormous emblems of the Black Phoenix of the ORDER all over the world. "Archaeologists found many of these unexplained markings in famous locations worldwide, all over the globe." Batman reported. "What do we know of what happened during the past year so far?" he then asked.
Artemis stepped up first. "When we went to Japan, Takeshi Asakura and Karai Yuzuki were leading the Yakuza Clan, using tech from the Expanded Universe to turn against the Light, their true alliance being with the ORDER." The archer explained.
"Count Vertigo was also using tanks and rifles from the Separatist Alliance in his first attempt to take over Vlatava by force." Wally added on. "Every member of his insurgency were outfitted with the very same Dark Phoenix Emblem, and after his failure, Sylas had him executed, as we learned from the ORDER HQ in India."
"Syrena also stole Kobra Venom," Robin continued.
"Which was then used to create the Symbio-Enhancer Drug that gave the ORDER freaky new abilities!" Rocket added on as well.
"But their operations started earlier before 2011 and 2012." Aqualad reminded everyone. "Sylas attempted to use the Ice Villains, Icicle Junior and Mr. Freeze and the now-deceased Killer Frost and Icicle Senior, to block out the sun in a plan called Operation Sabbath."
"And he and the rest of the ORDER with him at the time also dug into our deepest fears and nightmares during the day of the Training Exercise on October 16th." M'gann stated.
"The ORDER also recruited the madman, Harm, aka Billy Hayes, to kill his sister, Secret, also known as Greta Hayes, with the use of Alakshmi's mind control over men, and he was granted powers that would allow him to wield the Sword of Beowulf." Zatanna added on. "However, Harm's current whereabouts are unknown."
"They also attempted to use audible manipulation to take over the minds of people." Serra added on.
"And by bringing themselves out into the open, the ORDER was able to gain more members." Saw stated.
"Not to mention, stealing weaponry from our Expanded Universe to increase their arms." Anakin then joined in. "And, Sylas also freed many Republic enemies from prisons to increase his ranks."
"The ORDER also enlisted many individuals to be spies within different continents and countries all over the planet." Wally chimed in, remembering Nizam, traitor to Vlatava due to him joining the ORDER.
"And their other branches, like Lab 401." Ahsoka added in. "They had pseudo Jedi in their ranks, and, according to a source, only one came out a perfect Jedi from the body and Midi-Chlorian transfer from Jedi Master Yarel Poof."
"And, by enlisting Professor Ivo, the ORDER was able to develop robotic soldiers, like the redcoat robots who assisted Mad Mod!" Robin exclaimed.
"Animal experimentation much, anyone?" Barbara then asked. "With the increase of use of the Symbio-Enhancer, the ORDER managed to mutate other creatures instead of humans." The female Dark Knight added on.
"And to add to that, they also attempted to break us by infiltrating our lives." Zatanna also said.
"And we now know that the ORDER managed to maintain their massive amount of Symbio-Enhancer drugs with help from Simon Stagg." Beast Boy then added on.
"Not to mention, some of their operations included creating passageways from Earth to the Expanded Universe." Obi-Wan then joined in. "However, I doubt that those could have ever been intentional."
"Cloning with help from Project CADMUS, which was used to create our evil twins, the Terror Titans." Connor said.
"And, Sylas's mysterious Sith Master." Ahsoka added on, showing much concern.
Anakin and Obi-Wan both looked to each other with surprise before they turned to Ahsoka. "Sylas has a Sith Master?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Why didn't you bring this up with me earlier, Ahsoka?" Anakin then asked.
Ahsoka sighed and started to walk around. "On a mission to India, we were able to retrieve some data about the ORDER to expose them to the public, but Sylas then got in the way, using the powers of the Dark Side of the Force, combined with new Force abilities, and mentioned a Sith Master." Ahsoka explained. "He said that his Master's name was Messiah."
Obi-Wan and Anakin then turned to each other. "I was not anticipating for Sylas to be a Sith Lord under training." He stated. "There is now more to him than we would have thought."
"Sylas is a greater threat right now." Anakin stated grimly. He looked to the Team before looking back to his Padawan. "Thank you for telling this to us, Snips." Anakin then said.
Batman's eyes widened as he heard all of this. "It is now clearer that the ORDER is a bigger threat than we had anticipated." Bruce stated. "This is bigger than the Light, and much more dangerous as well."
Just then, a news report came on. Iris West-Allen appeared on the screen, standing in front of Middleton, Colorado. "This is Iris West-Allen with an important news flash." Iris started out, causing everyone to look to the holoscreen. "With every passing minute, insignias of the ORDER seem to mystically appear all over the world."
Cat Grant then appeared on another screen, appearing to be in front of Coast City. "At first, all that came out from the emblems was black mist, but right now, as we speak," Cat announced before a black fighter then flew over her head. She shrieked and then ducked from the incoming fighter before getting back up and getting lifted by Blue Devil. Cat looked to Blue Devil and nodded. "Thank you, Blue Devil." She said.
"I'm just doing my job, Miss." Blue Devil stated before unsheathing his trident, going after more fighters.
"Right now, the emblems are acting as portals, unleashing relentless waves of ORDER fighters." Cat then said.
"It has been reported that the Question, the Elongated Man, and Steel are fending off all attacks here in Middleton, Cat." Iris then said, looking over as Steel tossed his hammer at three fighters before the Elongated Man wrapped himself around seven more.
"As of now, more heroes are starting to rise up against the ORDER's threat than they did against the Injustice League." Cat announced, reading a piece of paper she recently received. "Right now, the Crimson Avenger, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, Wildcat, Mr. Terrific, Green Lantern, and B'wana Beast are all now fighting off against the ORDER from Middleton, Cleveland, Taipei, Missouri, and Star City." Cat Grant read.
Batman then looked to the Team, Jedi Masters and Clones with a stoic look on his face. "The League will take on the ORDER attacks." He stated. Everyone looked to each other immediately with surprise upon hearing this. "The heroes fighting out there won't be able to hold up against the ORDER for that long."
Anakin bit his tongue before walking up to Batman, clenching his fist dangerously. The Dark Knight gasped as he was then lifted off of the ground, the Team all in shock by what Anakin was doing. "Listen up, Bruce!" Anakin remarked, keeping the Dark Knight in midair. "I've seen what the Team can do, the Clones have dealt with planetary invasions before, and Ahsoka, and other Jedi, are able to hold their own in a fight!" He exclaimed. "Come to think of what's happening, I find your lack if faith in all of us… disturbing."
Batman released a small smoke bomb, causing Anakin to falter back before Batman regained himself. "I have complete faith in the Team, and even Ahsoka!" Bruce remarked.
"Then why do you insist on keeping us all here while you handle everything else?" Obi-Wan then asked, seeming to be curious about what the Dark Knight was ordering as well.
"Sylas could be waiting for the Team to strike, considering all the occasions they have stopped the ORDER more than the Justice League has," Batman started to explain. "And with the Republic now involved, the ORDER capturing all of you, even Senator Padmé Amidala, then a strong force could be forever lost."
"On the contrary, Batman," Padmé's voice then said. Everyone turned to see Padmé Amidala walking from a tunnel in the Cave towards the Main Room, looking to the Dark Knight sternly. "For the past week now, we have been looking over all of the records of the battles the Team has had, and in contrast to the Justice League, they actually stand a fighting chance against the ORDER than you would against their soldiers."
"Batman, we know more about the ORDER than anyone else, let it be either in the public, the Light, or the League." Robin pointed out.
"Remember, the entire Justice League was coy to Syrena's powers when we captured her, and only because of us were you set free." Ahsoka then pointed out.
Superboy then stepped up. "Listen up, Batman! Taking care of the ORDER… is now our area of jurisdiction." The Boy of Steel stated.
Batman narrowed his eyes at the Team, Anakin and Obi-Wan, Captain Rex, Commander Cody and their Clone Trooper Brothers, and then Padmé Amidala. Finally, he sighed in defeat. "You're right." He said behind gritted teeth. Everyone all smiled to one another before Batman spoke up again. "Team, you share the plan, and the Justice League will follow." Bruce said.
Anakin nodded and then pulled up a holoscreen. "Okay, so the ORDER is attacking worldwide, right?" Anakin asked. Everyone all nodded in confirmation before Anakin then brought up every picture of the ORDER's Black Phoenix Insignia. "All fighters are emerging from every one of these symbols all over Earth. However, the locations of the Insignias aren't just random."
"What do you mean?" Superman asked. "I flew around the globe a couple of times and saw mostly every place marked with the Sign of the ORDER."
Robin gasped and ran up, shaking his head at Superman. "I see now!" he exclaimed. "These locations may look random, but their latitude and longitude locations form a circle around the same place!"
Anakin smirked at Robin. "Exactly." He said. Dick smiled before Anakin then pulled up an entire map of the world. "From what we read about your planet, there are seven continents, but most of these coordinates were located in places that used to be one giant land, known as Pangaea." Anakin then said.
"If we target these coordinates just right," Rex then said, hovering his hand over every continent and causing black dots to appear to represent the places of the ORDER Insignias. "Then we can find out where Sylas is heading the invasion!"
Batman, Superman and Black Canary all looked in awe at this. "An answer that was in front of us the whole time," Dinah mused.
"And we never saw it coming." Superman then finished up, still in awe at how easily the Team was figuring this all out.
Obi-Wan then joined in, swiping all of the holographic continents together so that they formed Pangaea. As soon as the dots came together, Obi-Wan placed his hand to his chin. "It's the Mark of the ORDER." He stated.
"Not just a sign, Obi-Wan, but an arrow!" M'gann exclaimed, pointing to the Black Phoenix Mark. The whole Team then saw that the sign of the ORDER showed that the Phoenix had one wing, and it was pointing towards a single location.
"Target lock." Artemis said, placing one finger in the direction that the Phoenix's wings were pointing. Anakin then placed every holographic continent back together before they all saw the location towards where the Phoenix was pointing at.
"New Zealand!" Serra then exclaimed. "That's where Sylas must be overseeing his whole invasion!" The Shan said.
"Then that's where we'll go." Ahsoka stated.
Anakin then looked to the Justice League, his troops, and the Team. "Okay, here's the plan." He started out. Everyone, including Batman, all started to listen to the Chosen One as he placed the holographic map down in the shape of a Dejarik Board. "While we make our way towards New Zealand, some distractions will be needed." He started out, looking towards Batman, Superman and Black Canary. "There are already plenty of heroes out there, trying to put a stop to the ORDER, but as Bruce said, it won't be enough to hold them off."
"That's why we will need you three, and the rest of the Justice League, to go and help the rest of the heroes across the world." Obi-Wan then said.
Batman looked to the Team and nodded. "Is there anything else?" He asked.
Captain Rex looked to the Dark Knight and nodded. "Yes, as a matter of fact, there is." He said. "Should we fail to stop Sylas from commanding the ORDER army, you will come in as backup, but only by our say." The Clone Captain also added on.
"We'll do that." Superman said. With that, the three Leaguers walked off to the Zeta Tubes and took off to different areas of the world.
Ahsoka looked to the three Justice League Members take off before she and Serra both looked to Anakin and Obi-Wan. "Do you remember the Stealth Fighter, the same one from the Battle of Christophsis that was used before I came?" Ahsoka asked.
Anakin nodded at this. "Why do you ask?"
"Because this mission will require a lot of stealth and espionage, one of the many things that the Team is good at." Serra explained.
Anakin and Obi-Wan then looked to each other with strange looks on their faces. Ahsoka and the rest of the Team noticed this as they all tilted their heads to the side, so that they could find out what they were wondering about. "What is it?" Padawan Ahsoka Tano asked.
"Do you have a real Team Name?" Anakin finally asked. The Team all looked to each other with confusion before they all looked back to Anakin.
"For the whole two years, we have just been known as 'The Team'." Aqualad explained. "Is there anything wrong with that?"
"There's no trouble with it, Kaldur." Obi-Wan then stated. "We were just thinking that a Covert Team like you could use a special name."
Robin started to think about all the possible names that the Team could have. However, he was unable to think of any, and looked back to the two Jedi Masters. "I've got nothing." He said.
Padmé smiled at the Team, Anakin and Obi-Wan, and the Clone Troopers and then started to walk away. "You might need C-3PO for this mission, as well as R2-D2." Senator Amidala stated before walking away.
Ahsoka chuckled and rolled her eyes as she started to shift into her Jedi Uniform. "Well, at least some things never change." She said out loud happily.
Anakin then started to step back, noticing the new ability Ahsoka had to shapeshift her appearance. "Ahsoka?" he asked. Ahsoka then looked over to Anakin with a confused look on her face before Anakin asked, "How are you shapeshifting like that?"
Ahsoka looked down to herself before looking up to Anakin and chuckling. "Oh, this?" she asked, as if her new power was not an important matter. "Well, when I came here, M'gann taught me how to use the Force to shapeshift myself." She explained. "I can now blend in with the surroundings." After Ahsoka said that, she started to demonstrate her powers by shapeshifting into her Ashley Tanner human disguise, much to Anakin and Obi-Wan's surprise before she then shifted back. "Pretty neat, huh?"
"I'll say!" Anakin then exclaimed. The rest of the Team started to come out from the halls, all dressed in their mission suits as well. Anakin smiled to them before turning around. But that new lightsaber technique; it showed such elegance and complete and total master swordsmanship. He thought to himself, thinking back to Ahsoka's eighth Form of Lightsaber Combat, SokaTan.
Ahsoka noticed Anakin in his predicament before clapping her hands, causing Anakin to gasp and jump in surprise. "Is something wrong, Master?" she asked.
Anakin chuckled nervously and shook his head. "No, no, it's nothing." He stated, walking away with Obi-Wan and the rest of the Clone Troopers. "Now, let's get that Stealth Ship up and running." Anakin hurriedly said.
Robin looked to Ahsoka and placed his mouth to her ear. "Is it me, or does your Master seem a bit on edge ever since you showed off your new powers?" he asked.
Ahsoka placed her hand to her chin in the same way Obi-Wan would before shaking his head. "Nah, Anakin's not one to criticize. Might be something else, though."
"You mean other than his reaction to finding out that you were stabbed on our first encounter with the Terror Titans?" Lux asked.
"It could be something else." Ahsoka reasoned before she then walked off to her Starfighter. Serra looked to the Team and shrugged, seeming to be puzzled as well before she walked off to her own Jedi Starfighter. The Team all looked to each other with confused looks on their faces before they then went towards the Legacy, the Tano, and the Martian Bioship. Everyone soon took off, heading towards New Zealand to take down the ORDER.
Blüdhaven January 8th 1016 Hours EST
Several ORDER fighters started firing upon buildings in Blüdhaven. Aztek flew in and grabbed one of the Fighters before Dr. Light flew in and blasted it apart. Aztek the looked over to the Ray. "Get everyone out if here!" He yelled.
"On it!" The Ray yelled, flying over to help many citizens get away. "Let's move, people!" He ordered them.
All of a sudden, an ORDER squadron of soldiers emerged from one of the fighters and unsheathed guns. "Fire!" The leader of the squadron ordered.
Before they could get the chance to shoot, thirteen bullets hit the soldiers, killing them immediately before the rest looked around. At that minute, the Outsiders emerged, all civilians looking towards them as Ravager, Stargirl, Terra, Halo, Metamorpho, Cyborg, Kid Devil and Firestorm emerged, Rose Wilson aiming her Walther P-38 gun.
"You!" One of the soldiers exclaimed. The leader then signaled his hand and threw it at the Outsiders. "Kill them all!" He ordered.
Aztek, Dr. Light and the Ray all looked to the Outsiders, all armed and ready to fight. "We've got your backs!" Stargirl yelled to the heroes. "Attack!" She then ordered the Outsiders.
The Outsiders, Aztek, Dr. Light and the Ray all then charged towards the onslaught of ORDER troops, blasting and slashing them apart. Cyborg formed his robotic blaster arm and then blasted one of the troopers at point blank, then using the soldier's own blaster to shoot down three more.
Kid Devil clashed with many ORDER troopers with his trident. One of the troopers attempted to shoot Kid Devil, but he blocked the blast before running up to the trooper and stabbing him in the chest. "I'll take that!" Kid Devil quipped, taking the blaster before he then shot at seven troopers and then slashing them all apart.
Terra raised her hands into the air, causing rocks to rise up from the ground, which she then used to smash more ORDER soldiers before Metamorpho slammed his fists into the ground, causing all of them to fly away. "Now, Firestorm!" Terra then yelled. Upon hearing his name, Firestorm and Dr. Light both leapt into the air and blasted at the ORDER troops.
As soon as the ORDER troops were finished off, the three heroes ran over towards the Outsiders. "Thank you." Aztek gratefully said.
"Any time." Halo replied. Everyone then looked up, hearing some whooshes passing by. "Gotta jet." Halo then said, all of the Outsiders then flying off towards where they were needed next. Everyone cheered as they left, now knowing that the Outsiders were on their side.
From a distance away, Taiga, Raven and Jinx blasted more Fighters down to the ground until they were no more. Jinx looked towards Taiga and Raven, giving both of them a nod. "It's time." She said.
"The ORDER will now know our strength when they realize that we survived their attack," Raven began.
"And that their Perfect Jedi is on the winning side." Taiga finished up, tossing a lightsaber at four incoming fighters.
All three nodded before Raven spread out her arms. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" She incanted, causing more Fighters to be wiped out before a portal opened up beneath their feet, which they all fell through.
Over the Atlantic Ocean, Ahsoka looked around as the Team, the Clones and Obi-Wan Kenobi all prepared for attack. However, she noticed that someone was missing. "Where's Skyguy?" She asked herself.
Just then, Ahsoka heard a lightsaber activate from the main Hangar Bay. She walked over and then saw Anakin. Not wanting to get caught, Ahsoka quickly activated her Stealth Mode and hid at the door, watching as Anakin thrust his lightsaber down. He then began to slash upwards before he then slashed down. Finally, Anakin finished his Trinity Symbol.
"Trying to perfect my Form, huh?" Ahsoka then asked, coming out of Stealth Mode. Anakin gasped as he looked over to the side, not sensing Ahsoka in the room.
"If you were able to perfectly execute SokaTan, then I want to try to perfect it too." Anakin stated.
Ahsoka sighed and shook her head, walking up and unsheathing her own lightsaber. "SokaTan requires perfect concentration, focus, and remembrance of your deepest memories." Ahsoka explained, performing SokaTan and using it to slash apart a stack of three crates.
Anakin stuttered before attempting to perform SokaTan the way Ahsoka did it. "I have those, really." He stated, performing SokaTan, but there was no powered attack from his execution.
Ahsoka sighed and shook her head. "Skyguy, remember when I said that I knew what it's like for you to want to walk away from the Jedi Order?" She asked. Anakin nodded before Ahsoka went on. "I've seen you and Padmé together lots of times, and it doesn't take the Force to know your secret." She stated.
"I know." Anakin replied.
"Currently, you lack the skill of remembering your deepest memories, but I think that over time, you will learn to use those to perfect my form." Ahsoka stated.
Anakin smiled to his Padawan learner before they both walked off to the Command Center.
In the Command Room, Anakin started to get everyone together for their plan. "Okay, everyone, listen up," Anakin Skywalker started out. "I sent a Probe Droid to New Zealand to scout out the area, and before it was shot down, I was able to get a layout of the headquarters." He said. A holographic map showing the large ORDER base in New Zealand then appeared.
"They have a Ray Shield Generator, preventing anything from getting in or out." Rex explained. "It's like the one on Christophsis, it expands and starts to cover up everything."
"Our only way to infiltrate it is to sneak in, take it out, and let the rest of the Troops pass through." Ahsoka then explained.
"That's where we come in." Aqualad then said. "One Jedi is going to command the Clone Troopers, and the other will go in with us to help take down the shields. In laymen's terms, the Team and Anakin, a total of sixteen members, will infiltrate."
"And I'll stay to command the troops." Obi-Wan then said.
"Your signal is a Light Flare by me." Ahsoka said. "If I fail to fire upon the time the Ray Shields are down, go in and attack without its command." Ahsoka then added on.
"Understood, General." Cody said, cocking his blaster.
"We're almost approaching the drop-zone." Oddball announced over the speakers.
"Earth Squadron, get ready." Anakin said.
Everyone looked around in confusion, wondering who Anakin was referring to. "With all due respect, Master Anakin," C-3PO started out, walking towards Anakin's Jedi Starfighter with his Astromech Droid, R2-D2. "There is no Earth Squadron."
Anakin chuckled nervously before looking over to Ahsoka and the Team. "Actually, 3PO, I was referring to the Team." He explained.
The Team all looked to each other with confusion before Ahsoka stepped up. "Are you still trying to come up with a name for us other than 'The Team'?" She asked.
"Well, I'm leader of Gold Squadron, so I was thinking that Earth Squadron would work out for you." Anakin explained.
The Team all looked to one another before they shook their heads in disagreement at Anakin. "Sorry. Doesn't really roll off our tongues that much." Saw honestly replied.
"Oh." Anakin said, suddenly feeling a bit awkward. "Sorry." He then said, preparing his Starfighter for the infiltration.
"No problem, Skyguy." Ahsoka replied, a smile emerging on her face. "I'm sure you'll come up with something we can all agree on." She said, getting into her Jedi Starfighter and then prepping it, as Serra did the same with her Starfighter while the rest of the Team climbed into the Bioship for departure. "Standing by!" Ahsoka called out.
The Hangar Bay Doors then opened, letting the three Jedi Starfighters and the Bioship leave the Stealth Fighter for their Ultimate Covert Operation.
Bellwood Illinois January 8th 1138 Hours CST
More soldiers of the ORDER began to invade Bellwood, firing upon many of the buildings. "Leave no one alive!" The leader of the Squadron yelled out.
All of a sudden, a blue whip made of pure light wrapped around one of the fighters. "What the Hell was that?!" The soldier in the Fighter exclaimed. His Fighter then started to squeeze before it exploded.
Novastar then flew up, followed by Saga, both armed with melee weapons of their own elements and colors. "ORDER! It is time for you to be struck down, as you are in our pit, and we three are the pendulum!" Julie yelled out.
At that moment, Stingray came out from the ocean, riding on his Manta Diver. "Let's go!" He yelled.
All three then flew towards the fighters, slashing and blasting them all apart before the soldiers landed on the ground, unsheathing their arms. Novastar cupped her hands together while Saga wrapped his rapier whip around some more troopers, and Stingray readied his boomerang. "The Shot Heard Around The World!" Novastar then exclaimed, all three performing their respective attacks and killing the soldiers.
The Natural then threw his shield at twelve more ORDER troopers while DeltaRay and Blade Runner cut down at least eleven others. "Got your back!" Axel then exclaimed, blasting a beam of plasma towards some ORDER commando troops. He then made a plasma axe construct to hit the engine of one of the ships, causing it to explode before the Natural ran towards them.
"Take them down!" He yelled, spreading fire with his Cataclysm Sword to explode more engines of the ORDER Fighters. Julie then joined in as she, Saga and Stingray all caught up with them.
"We get all of them?" Saga asked.
"Seems like it, Conroy." Julie replied back. She then looked over to Ray and Stephen. "Any lock on the next ORDER attack?" She asked. "This all seems infinite in mystery."
"I think we can help with that." A voice then said. The six looked up to see the Outsiders land. Ravager walked up to Novastar and extended her hand. "Rose Wilson, Outsiders. Pleasure to meet you."
"Likewise." Novastar replied back. "Are you here to help?"
"We're going to the front line, where Sylas is heading the entire invasion force." Cyborg then explained, bringing up a holographic map of the area. "We learned that he's in New Zealand."
"Well, come on!" Ray exclaimed, sheathing his sword back into his shield. "Let's go."
Novastar and Saga both nodded at this. "Move out." Novastar ordered the rest of her friends.
The fourteen then took off towards New Zealand, hoping to do anything they could to help win the fight against the ORDER.
Middleton Colorado January 8th 1216 Hours MDT
In Middleton, the Crimson Avenger and Green Lantern Guy Gardner both stood side by side with each other, shooting down many ORDER Fighters and troops. "There's just no end to them!" Gardner called out, reverting back to his civilian form and recharging his Green Lantern Battery.
Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable, Huntress, Wildcat and B'wana Beast all backed up, knocking down more of the troops before they all joined in a circle. "It's as if these guys can never die!" Kim exclaimed, creating a barrier to protect herself while Ron started to glow blue, kicking fifteen troops aside.
"Where's the Justice League when you need them?!" Ron exclaimed, picking up a metal rod and then knocked a trooper out cold before then taking his blaster and shooting down five more soldiers.
At that moment, green blasts started to rain down on the area, followed by twin red rays of heat. Everyone looked up to then see Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, Starfire, Red Star and Supergirl. "Anyone call for help?" Kyle asked as the four then flew down and stood with the other seven.
The Question then appeared, loading up one of his guns. "Glad you could make it." The Question stated. "We could use all the help we can get."
"We'll take them down!" Kara said enthusiastically. The ORDER then started to charge at the twelve, in which Kyle and Starfire replied back by leading the rest of the heroes into the fray.
Kyle and Guy started to fly into the air and then perform twin dropkicks at one ORDER commando, who was then knocked into Ron. Both he and B'wana Beast began to perform monkey-like martial arts tactics at seven more troopers as the Question and Huntress fought back to back, shooting down all of the other troopers.
Starfire and Red Star both joined Wildcat in tackling more troopers, blasting and punching at all of them before Starfire lifted up an ORDER fighter and threw it at some ORDER commandos.
Supergirl flew alongside Kim Possible and the Crimson Avenger, shooting down many more troopers. One of the troopers got back into his fighter and shot a large blast at the three, but Kim got in the way and formed her lacrosse arm. Supergirl then spun Kim around in the air before she released all of the energy she collected from the blast back at the ORDER Troopers. The Girl of Steel and the Crimson Avenger shot with her, Supergirl's heat vision melting some car and ORDER fighter engines before the bullets from the Crimson Avenger's guns hit them, causing the engines to explode and kill off the rest of the troopers.
Starfire then looked off to the distance, seeing the ORDER fighters continuously coming. Supergirl then narrowed her eyes and then clearly saw what was going on. "I can see where a large dome about a thousand miles away from here." Supergirl stated.
"That must be where the ORDER troops are coming from," Kyle started out.
"And where Sylas might be!" Red Star then exclaimed.
"Let's go." Starfire ordered.
The four all nodded before taking off. Kim and Ron looked to them before looking back to each other. "About time we take down the ORDER!" Kim exclaimed.
"For real!" Ron yelled back. With that, the two let out their jetpacks, taking off immediately after Starfire, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, Red Star and Supergirl.
Scandinavia January 8th 1224 Hours UTC
Ice, Snow and Vixen all dashed right through a barrage of ORDER troopers, killing them immediately. More soldiers were about to attack until a blast of green flames were sent right at them. Tora looked to the side and smiled. "Beatriz!" she exclaimed.
Fire looked to the three girls and nodded. "I'll take care of the ORDER here!" she yelled. "Find wherever the source of the Fighters is coming from, and if by chance the Justice League or the Republic is there, help them out!" Fire ordered.
Elsa stepped up, placing her hand out. "Are you sure? Will you be alright?" she asked with much concern.
"Trust her on this one." Mari then said. "I know Fire personally, and she can hold her own in a fight." Vixen also added on.
"Go!" Fire yelled. The three girls all nodded before Ice and Snow formed glacier paths for the three of them to glide on.
"Come on!" Vixen then yelled, skating on the paths before Ice and Snow then followed.
Fire looked to the three girls and smiled as she started to burn one of the ORDER trooper's faces. "Good luck, and Godspeed!" she exclaimed. She then released the ORDER Trooper before charging in to attack the rest of the army.
Shinjuku Japan 1234 Hours UTC
Katana leapt into the streets and slashed down an ORDER trooper with her Soultaker sword. After stabbing the soldier, Tatsu pulled out the blade and then clashed with another trooper. "Koi!" she yelled in Japanese. The rest of the ORDER soldiers then unsheathed their bayonets and started shooting and slashing at Katana. The samurai swordsman spun her sword around, blocking every attack that was sent at her.
Just then, three more soldiers jumped into the air and prepared to attack Katana. Tatsu Yamashiro looked to the side and held her Soultaker Sword in a reverse grip, ready to take them on. All of a sudden, Justin arrived on his Pegasus, knocking them all away before tossing his sword towards another trooper. He then flicked his wrist and snapped his fingers, and the Magic Sword then came back to him. Sir Justin then walked down from his horse and towards Katana. "You have some impressive swordsmanship there, Miss." He said.
"You must be the Shining Knight that Ahsoka told me about." Katana then said, slicing down another trooper.
"Speaking of Ahsoka…" Shining Knight stated, pointing a finger behind Tatsu. "Look!"
Katana turned around and saw the giant Ray Shield in New Zealand, as well as small groups of other people flying towards the area. "They could use our help." Tatsu stated.
"Then, onward we go!" Shining Knight exclaimed. He then got back onto his Pegasus and extended a hand to Katana. "If you please, Miss." He said. Katana looked up to Sir Justin and chuckled, extending her hand as well. The two then took off on Pegasus and flew off towards where the Ray Shield was.
At New Zealand, Oddball laughed and slammed his fist into his palm. "This is it!" he exclaimed with excitement. He then activated the controls and flew off forwards. "Go!"
Every Fighter then started to emerge from the Resolute and the Stealth Cruiser. "Sylas, you are so going to Hell!" Ahsoka exclaimed. The rest of the Team grinned at this while Anakin just rolled his eyes.
Within the base, Sylas oversaw all the invasions. "Even if the Justice League is able to hold off my brothers and sisters in arms, they won't be able to take on the big surprise that is to later come." He remarked, seeing Superman fly in with Icon to destroy several ORDER Fighters in Metropolis, and then to Heatherfield, where Doctor Fate flew in and attacked with five girls, all with small wings and in violet or aqua blue suits.
Just then, Stockman ran into the room. "Sylas, Sir! We have incoming enemies." He exclaimed worryingly.
Sylas said nothing and then pulled up a holoscreen, seeing the Resolute, Ahsoka, Anakin and Serra's Jedi Starfighters, the Tano, the Legacy, and the Martian Bioship all approaching. "Yes!" he exclaimed softly. "Like bees to honey!" he then quipped.
Sylas then turned around to Stockman and nodded. "Gather the rest of the ORDER and prepare top counterattack." He ordered.
"Yes, my Lord." Stockman said, bowing respectively. He then walked over towards the Hangar Bay and nodded to a Commando. "Rid the ORDER of this heroic nonsense." He ordered.
On the outside, several walking tanks led by some of the ORDER Generals started to appear, all aiming up to the ships in the sky. Three top ORDER soldiers then kneeled down, letting cannons implanted on their backs emerge. They all punched forwards, firing missiles and rockets towards the ships that were approaching them.
Several Gunships were shot down, but the rest of the ships kept pushing on. Obi-Wan then appeared from the Resolute in his own Jedi Starfighter and launched some missiles towards the ground assault tanks, causing them to explode before the Bioship then emerged, the hatch opening up, and the Team Members without the power of flight appeared on hoverboards while the other Team Members with the ability to fly stood ready. Several Clone Troopers all stood ready in other Gunships with the same hoverboards as well.
Artemis chuckled and looked to the Team. "See you boys later!" she quipped, saluting and winking to every one of them. Everyone then flew or glided right immediately out of the ships. "Whoo-hoo!" Artemis exclaimed, spinning around her longbow and taking out some arrows.
Connor grabbed onto one of the ORDER Fighters and ripped off the top, pulling out a soldier. "Going down!" he quipped, throwing the soldier overboard before he then took control of the ship. "Alright, everyone, remember the plan." He announced, getting all of the systems in check as he spoke to the Team.
Ahsoka chuckled before she and Serra pressed some buttons on their Jedi Starfighter consoles. "Ain't a mountain too high," Ahsoka started out before she looked to the side to see Serra.
"Ain't a valley too low!" she then finished up. The two then pressed the buttons on their Starfighters, causing the Starfighters to separate and the Jedi Cycle Bikes to appear, landing on the ground.
Anakin looked down and chuckled. "Always on the move." He said to himself. He then looked forwards towards R2-D2. "R2, take control of the Starfighter!" Anakin ordered. R2 beeped in confusion as Anakin opened up the cockpit. He looked to R2 and chuckled. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." He said, sending a small salute before jumping out.
Obi-Wan looked out of the cockpit of his own Jedi Starfighter and shook his head. "I hate it when he does that." He said to himself before flying off with the rest of the Republic to fight. "Admiral Yularen, how are the rest of the Clones doing?" he asked through the communications system.
"All Clone Troopers are beginning to take off in ARC-Fighters, General Kenobi." Admiral Yularen reported back. "And the League is helping out with them as well worldwide."
"Let's hope that we can keep it that way." Ahsoka then said, chasing after Kadaj, Ankh and Loz on bikes. She then saw Anakin land on one of the speeders, looking to Ahsoka and saluting to her.
As this was happening, twelve ARC-Fighters started to enter Heatherfield. "Take down anything and anyone in league with the ORDER!" one of the Clone Pilots called out to his men.
"Right!" the Clones then yelled out. Several ORDER Fighters then started to fly through the air, shooting at the ARC-Fighters. The ARC-Fighters fired back, and one of the Clone Pilots, Engle, started to strafe down more Fighters until two more started to get on his tail. "They're all over me!" Engle yelled.
Just then, the five girls with wings flew up and shot down the ORDER Fighter. "Taranee, get in!" Will exclaimed. Taranee nodded as she shot open one of the Fighters and then started to pilot it, joining the army. "We're at your side!" Will then called out.
All the Clone Pilots saluted, in which WITCH saluted back. Everyone soon got back to the battle, using the combined strength they had to continue taking down the ORDER.
As that was going on, Superman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Hawkwoman, and Green Lantern Jon Stewart all flew in the air around Japan, first passing Shinjuku before moving on to Tokyo, taking down ORDER Fighters, with Batman in the BatPlane. "Keep hitting them! The Fighters may have a weak spot!" Jon called out to the rest of the Justice League with him.
Just then, a Squadron of ARC-Fighters came in. "Looks like we came just in time!" Flyby exclaimed.
"Glad you could make it!" Captain Marvel yelled back.
"No problem, Captain!" Contrail then yelled back.
"Shadow Squadron, take no prisoners!" Flyby then ordered. All the Clones saluted before all of Shadow Squadron, as well as the Leaguers with them, started to fly together as they started to fight back in Tokyo.
Broadside chased one of the ORDER Fighters around the Tokyo Skytree. He then locked onto the Fighter and narrowed his eyes. "I have you now!" he exclaimed. With that, he fired at the ORDER Fighter, causing it to explode.
Meanwhile, Serra unsheathed one of her lightsabers as she passed by a tank. Behind her were a couple of Republic Tanks, and they all fired at the ORDER's tanks. Serra then used her lightsabers to cut down many tanks to size.
From a distance away, Saturn Sapphire looked on with interest. "Impressive." Saturn Sapphire chuckled to herself. She then flew right down to Serra, catching her attention.
Serra continued to ride on her Jedi Cycle until she sensed someone coming in from behind. Serra Keto Shan turned around and gasped to see Saturn Sapphire fly in, manifesting a scythe construct and spinning in the air towards her. "No, you don't!" Serra then yelled, jumping off of her Jedi Cycle. She then placed both of her lightsabers out in front of her and charged straight at Saturn Sapphire, an explosion emitting from their clash. Serra then landed back onto her Jedi Cycle as the rest of the Team came next to her. "Come on! We still need to disable the shield!" she yelled to them.
Meanwhile, Ahsoka started to chase after Kadaj and his brothers. All three turned around and chuckled. "We've got her now!" Kadaj exclaimed. The other brothers laughed before they lured Ahsoka and Anakin onto the road leading to the base.
Kadaj growled upon seeing a "Do Not Enter: Under Construction" sign, and just rode right through it. Ahsoka and Anakin both unsheathed their own respective lightsabers and cut through the sign as it started to fly towards them. Ankh chuckled as he drove up next to Ahsoka, aiming his gunblade at her. He then shot it, but Ahsoka dodged the bullets and skidded off to the side, where Loz then started to push her in. Loz growled as he then activated his Shadow Hound Gauntlet, preparing to strike. Ahsoka just grunted and slammed the pedal on her Jedi Cycle, letting two compartments of lightsabers that she constructed open up and knock Loz away. She quickly then unsheathed her own lightsaber and charged at Ankh with an Ataru Surge.
Ankh looked to Ahsoka and shot from his gunblade once again, but Ahsoka slashed apart the bullets and clashed head-on with Ankh. The two circled each other on their bikes and spun around before Anakin then drove in, breaking them off. Kadaj turned around and growled, getting onto a higher ramp. Ahsoka looked to Anakin, wondering what to do since their targets split up. "I've got him, shake off your other two!" Anakin yelled with reassurance. Ahsoka nodded before Anakin drove onto the higher ramp.
As that happened, Ahsoka then noticed Loz jump into the air and prepare to slam down with his Shadow Hound Gauntlet. Ahsoka reversed her bike and drove backwards as she closed up her compartments, dodging Loz in the process before she then drove off. Ankh and Loz looked on in anger before lox jumped back onto his bike while Ankh passed him. The two continued to chase on after the Togrutan Padawan until they reached a tunnel.
Ahsoka continued to outrun the two Remnants, but Ankh sent a hand signal to Loz. Loz nodded before he rode on the side of the wall, catching Ahsoka's attention. "I have you now!" Loz then yelled, jumping off of his motorcycle and onto Ahsoka's, where he clashed his Shadow Hound Gauntlet with Ahsoka's lightsaber. Loz's motorcycle continued to ride on as Ahsoka and Loz engaged in a blade lock.
Ahsoka then threw Loz off, letting him get back onto his motorcycle. "Big mistake!" Ankh then yelled, shooting at Ahsoka with his gunblade. Ahsoka stood on top of her Jedi Cycle and started to deflect the bullets with her secondary lightsaber shoto. She then clashed Ankh's gunblade with her shoto before Ankh let himself break off, aiming his gunblade at her point-blank range. Ahsoka skidded away just in time, deflecting the bullets once again before they clashed again as well.
Loz then laughed and stabbed his Shadow Hound Gauntlet into the ground. Ahsoka gasped as she then saw him swing his entire bike at her. Ankh chuckled and then drove backwards, shooting at the motorcycle engine. "Is that all you've got?" Ahsoka then asked snippily. With that, she slashed through the motorcycle, but Loz then teleported in front of her, cackling and then stabbing with his Shadow Hound. Ahsoka then threw him towards the motorcycle, which then exploded.
"Damn!" Ankh cursed to himself as Ahsoka then got back onto her bike. Loz then teleported himself out of the explosion and punched at Ahsoka with his Shadow Hound Gauntlet once again. Ahsoka gasped and was sent into the air, where she was punched again, and then again before she could land, and then again in the air before landing on her motorcycle, where Ankh then appeared, shooting at her with his gunblade. Ahsoka dodged and destroyed the bullets before Loz then clashed with her.
"Nice try!" Ahsoka exclaimed. She then broke off with Loz before she then noticed Ankh coming up behind her. "Two against one?! How exciting!" Ahsoka then quipped. The two then charged at Ahsoka from both sides, but she then disengaged her double-bladed lightsaber and clashed with them, Loz in front and Ankh from behind. Loz punched Ahsoka in the face, but she ducked and continued to clash with them. The two Remnants chuckled, but they gasped as they were then pushed away. Ahsoka then followed up on her attack by slashing at the two.
The two growled as Ahsoka got back onto her Jedi Cycle, riding off. Loz looked to see that his Shadow Hound Gauntlet was destroyed, and threw the remaining, sparking part of his Gauntlet off before it exploded. With his bike now destroyed, he got onto Ankh's, and his gunblade was also destroyed. Ankh angrily threw it aside and then chased on after Ahsoka.
Meanwhile, all of the Team landed, and started to make their ways past the ORDER Armies. "We've got to shut down the shields!" Jaybo yelled, tossing twin grenades at some ORDER soldiers.
At that moment, Commander Fox arrived with his Squadron, shooting at the ORDER troopers. "We'll keep them busy for as long as we can! Get to that Shield Generator!" Fox yelled.
Connor looked back to the Clones and nodded. "From one Clone to another…" he said. "Good luck!"
All the Clone Troopers saluted back in response as they continued to fire at the ORDER, with the Team getting away. Rex and Cody then landed, and they immediately clashed with Slick.
Serra ran up alongside the Team as they saw the entire base of where Sylas was heading every invasion force. Energy emitted from every part of the base. "Everyone, split up." Aqualad then ordered.
"Was that even the plan?" Serra then asked with confusion.
Kaldur grinned and winked. "Was there ever a plan to begin with?" he quipped. The rest of the Team all laughed as they soon made their way into the base.
Aqualad, Serra, Rocket and Beast Boy all made their way into the interior of the base. Garfield looked around and nodded. "All clear." He said. With that, the squadron ran off.
Artemis and Robin made their way around another part of the base outside, looking around carefully for signs of the ORDER.
Meanwhile, inside, Connor opened a door to one of the terminals. After looking around carefully, he looked to his squadron and nodded, motioning for them that it was clear for them to come in. Soon, Jaybo, Batgirl and Zatanna entered the room. Connor used his heat contacts to seal the door closed as Batgirl threw heat sensor batarangs at the walls and some more batarangs at the cameras watching them.
Zatanna started to take out her wand before she then looked over to the computer before looking back to Drol. "Jaybo, do your thing." She ordered. She then threw the chair towards Drol, in which Batgirl grabbed and helped Jaybo Hood get on as he started to look at the schematics of the Shield Generator.
"Alright, I think that I can shut down the Shield Generator from here." He said, beginning to type away at the keyboard.
As that was happening, several ORDER Troopers were guarding the Shield Generator, which was shielded itself. Saw, Rebel, Kid Flash and M'gann then ran over towards the Generator. "Shit!" M'gann cursed to herself upon seeing the shielded Barrier Generator. "Who knew that the ORDER would have already planned this?!" she then asked with disbelief. However, she soon shrugged it off, and started to connect everyone to the Psychic Link.
Batgirl placed up her hand to her head and started to use the Psychic Link. "Hey, Wally, we're already at the control room. Where are you?" she asked.
Kid Flash looked to the Generator while in Stealth Mode and placed his finger to his own head as well. "We're at the Shield Generator." He replied.
"Good. We'll let you know when we have both of the shields shut down." Jaybo then ordered.
At that moment, the door burst down, and ORDER Troopers started to unsheathe their weapons at the squadron. Connor cracked his knuckles as he, Batgirl and Zatanna all got into fighting stances. "Jaybo, keep working." Zatanna ordered.
"We'll take care of these guys." Batgirl then said. She then turned around and kissed Jaybo on the cheek before the three then turned back to the ORDER Troopers. "Let's go!" she yelled.
In the Shield Generator Room, Rebel leapt into the air and performed a bicycle kick at one of the Troopers before swinging around and performing a flying roundhouse kick at another ORDER Trooper behind him. Saw joined in and then used the barrel of his gun to knock two ORDER Troopers out. "Go!" Lux yelled to his squadron, now coming out of hiding.
Kid Flash and Miss Martian both nodded and started to charge, but more ORDER Troopers got in their way. Wally ducked and placed a Trooper in a headlock as Miss Martian disarmed another Trooper of his sword. Wally then threw the ORDER Trooper to the ground before she blocked an incoming sword swing from another trooper. He used that sword to stab the ORDER Soldier in the chest before looking back to the rest of the Team. "We can't let the ORDER continue their invasion!" Wally then called out.
M'gann nodded and threw aside the ORDER Trooper she was tackling with a punch to his chest. As another Trooper came in to attack her with a sword, Miss Martian threw him aside and into some controls, which sparked upon the Trooper getting slammed into it.
Lux blocked an incoming attack from an ORDER Trooper and then knocked his weapon down with another ORDER Soldier's weapon before he twirled around and kicked at the left soldier, and then performed a flying roundhouse kick at some more.
Saw then punched aside an ORDER Trooper's blaster before knocking away another one's sword. He grabbed both weapons before he turned around. He kicked off of the wall and then body-slammed the ORDER Trooper with the sword to the ground on his back.
Wally kicked away an ORDER Swordsman before he then kicked away an ORDER Sniper. He then swept his feet under another ORDER Trooper's feet and swept him to the ground as Miss Martian punched twelve more into the Shield guarding the Generator, where they were electrocuted upon impact.
Meanwhile, Robin and Artemis continued to scout the area. As they turned a corner, they found some ORDER Troopers guarding another part of the place. Both Dick and Artemis looked to each other and nodded, unsheathing their respective birdarangs and crossbows. "Let's do it!" Robin then exclaimed.
All the ORDER Troopers continued to keep guard until Artemis shot explosive arrows at two of them. The ORDER Soldiers gasped and charged at the two, but Robin impaled one of them with a birdarang before he was handed a crossbow. The two then stood back to back, shooting down any ORDER Soldier before they even had the chance to land a hit on them. One of the Troopers then charged in with a sword. "Look out!" Artemis yelled, pushing Robin out of the way. The two grinned at each other before they shot the same ORDER Trooper down. The two continued to fire until all the ORDER Troopers in their area were down and out.
Meanwhile, Aqualad and Rocket came around a corner, looking to see Serra and Beast Boy at another part of the area. Before they could report on what they found, some blasts were sent at them. "Look out!" Beast Boy yelled, getting Serra out of the way.
Kaldur and Raquel both gasped as more blasts came their way as well. Rocket recovered to the side, but she was then attacked by an ORDER Swordsman. Rocket growled and punched the Swordsman in the chest while Kaldur unsheathed his own swords, clashing with another ORDER Soldier. Beast Boy jumped into the air and then kicked away an ORDER Sniper while Serra clashed with another ORDER Swordsman.
Raquel created a bubble around the ORDER Swordsman she was facing before then throwing him away while Kaldur blocked a series of blasts heading his way. He then slashed down at the ORDER Sniper as Serra then started to slice apart the ORDER Swordsman she was facing as well. Beast Boy then turned into an alligator and then knocked away the ORDER Sniper, all ORDER Troopers facing them now down for the count.
While that was happening, Ahsoka rode off of the highway and onto Anakin and Kadaj's ramp. She unsheathed her arm-mounted crossbow and then shot at Kadaj's engine, causing his bike to explode while Anakin jumped into the air and threw his own bike at him. Kadaj yelled as he was soon thrown away, and Anakin's bike was thrown into the air.
Ahsoka then rode under Anakin, the Chosen One getting onto her bike. "Did I ever tell you how much I love your new upgrades?" Anakin asked.
"Not really." Ahsoka then replied. "However, I appreciate how much you admire everything about me that's changed." The Togrutan also added on. Anakin chuckled at this quip before they then rode off. "Now, let's go. We still have to disable the Shield Generator, and with luck, we can let the Republic and the Justice League through to help arrest Sylas." Ahsoka then said, parking the bike. The two then got off and prepared to make their way towards the base. The highway they were riding on now led them into a canyon, so they had a long way to go to get back.
Before they could make it towards the base, a large whoosh passed by them. "Look out!" Anakin yelled, pushing Ahsoka to the ground. The Togrutan grunted as both she and her Master got down to the ground.
Ahsoka then looked up and narrowed her eyes. "Widow!" she exclaimed softly.
Anakin looked to Ahsoka with confusion. "Who's Widow?" he asked. As if his question was answered, Barriss Offee landed from the sky, her wings retreating back into her back. Anakin snarled at the sight of the Mirialan and clenched his fists. "Barriss!" he exclaimed.
Barriss looked towards the two and giggled sadistically. "Here, Skywalker, I'm known as Black Widow." She remarked. Ahsoka and Anakin both stood ready as Barriss then reached for her stolen lightsaber hilts. "And to think that Ahsoka's dear Master would have never made it here in time to see the victory of the ORDER." Black Widow then spat.
Ahsoka and Anakin then unsheathed their own lightsaber hilts. Both were prepared to activate them until some footsteps were heard. "With all due respect, Black Widow," a voice said, causing Anakin and Ahsoka to turn around. There, they saw Sylas emerge, donning his black Sith Robes. "I'd like to take the liberty in defeating Anakin Skywalker, the so-called Hero with No Fear." Sylas finished up.
Anakin narrowed his eyes at Sylas and aimed his lightsaber hilt at him. "Sylas, am I correct?" he asked.
"In the flesh, Knight Skywalker." Sylas replied.
"Is your Master, Messiah, really known as Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord that the Jedi have been looking for all this time?" Anakin demanded.
Sylas only chuckled and shook his head. "I've heard a lot about Sidious, Skywalker. I even know who he really is."
"Who is Sidious?!" Anakin yelled.
"Temper, temper, Anakin." Sylas taunted. "That will all be revealed in due time."
"Then who is Messiah?" Anakin then asked more dangerously.
"It is none of your concern." Sylas smugly stated, unsheathing his black and golden lightsaber hilt. "But trust me when I say this;" Sylas then started to speak again. "If you let me kill you here, then I can prevent Darth Sidious and Count Dooku from taking over the Universe."
"Not falling for it." Ahsoka remarked. She then looked towards Barriss as Anakin glared towards Sylas. All four then activated their seven lightsabers, Ahsoka with armed with her double-bladed lightsaber and yellow shoto, Barriss Offee armed with her twin lightsabers, and Anakin and Sylas armed with their own single-bladed lightsabers in hand.
All of them stood ready to take on one another, Master vs Master and Apprentice vs Apprentice. Anakin and Ahsoka stood back to back, facing their respective opponents and waiting for one another to start the battle. At that moment, a Republic Gunship flew by and crashed into the ground, causing Ahsoka to charge at Barriss and Anakin to charge towards Sylas, the battle now beginning.
Inside of the base, Superboy, Zatanna and Batgirl continued to fight off against the ORDER Troopers while Drol continued to work on hacking the systems. Zatanna roundhouse kicked away one of the ORDER Swordsmen away before she then clashed her wand with another ORDER Swordsman and then kicked him in the chest. She then attacked another incoming ORDER Trooper with a direct jab to the chest, knocking him down. "All clear!" she yelled.
Batgirl threw aside an incoming attack from an ORDER Swordsman before she then grabbed an ORDER Sniper's blaster and then gutted him in the stomach. She then turned back towards the Swordsman and kicked his back to the wall before knocking him down. "All clear!" Barbara Gordon yelled out.
Superboy, on the other hand, kicked one Trooper in the chest before elbowing another Trooper behind him. He then twirled into the air and punched the third incoming ORDER Trooper in the chest before slamming down on his back with his elbow. "We're clear!" the Boy of Steel then yelled.
Zatanna panted and looked back to Jaybo. "Drol! How's it coming?!" she yelled.
Jaybo continued to work at the controls. After pressing the "Enter" button, Jaybo looked to the screen and a large smile emerged on his face. "Yes!" he exclaimed. "Finally, I got it!" he exclaimed.
"Generator Deactivated." The Computer announced. The rest of the squad ran over to see the shield around the Generator shut down.
"Yes!" everyone exclaimed.
Barbara laughed before she then picked up Jaybo and kissed him straight on the lips. Superboy and Zatanna both watched with smirks appearing on their faces. "Should have brought popcorn." Zatanna teased upon seeing this all happen.
Jaybo smiled after the kiss, his cheeks now red. Barbara smiled to Jaybo before he then tapped into the Psychic Link. "Guys! It's all yours now!" Jaybo exclaimed.
In the Generator Room, Aqualad, Serra, Rocket and Beast Boy ran in with Robin and Artemis. M'gann smiled as she placed her hand to her head while Rebel took out one last ORDER Trooper. "Got it!" she replied. She then looked over towards the Team and nodded. "It's time!" she exclaimed.
The Team all smiled before Robin took out six birdarangs, Artemis with four arrows, Rebel with his twin blasters, Saw with his signature rifle, and now coming in were Zatanna with her wand and Batgirl with batarangs in her hand while Jaybo held a missile-launcher on his shoulder. "Fire!" Aqualad then commanded. Everyone shot at the Shield Generator, now starting to explode. Everyone cheered as the ORDER Soldiers all started to run out of the room.
Meanwhile, in the canyon, Anakin was on defense as Sylas started using Juyo Makashi techniques against him, attempting to stab at Anakin's leg. Anakin used Soresu to knock the first jab away before Sylas attempted a second jab. Anakin then used Makashi right back at Sylas, who countered with an overhead roundhouse kick, putting the Sith Lord on defense with Anakin on offense.
Anakin then attempted to use Ataru Surge attacks on Sylas, but the Sith Lord used his black lightsaber blade to parry off all the attacks. Sylas then attempted an underhand Shien strike, but Anakin jumped over the blade and the two parried off Shii-Cho slashed sent towards each other before Sylas then slashed at Anakin's back. Anakin placed his lightsaber over his back and blocked the blade, Sylas growling at him.
"I will not be intimidated by a misunderstood Prophecy of the Force, Chosen One." Sylas spat at Anakin, attempting to bring his blade in closer.
Anakin grunted and swung his lightsaber over his head, their positions now reversed so that their blades were now parallel to the ground. "Then you've probably never been to Mortis before." Anakin then spat back. Sylas growled and broke off from the lock. Anakin tried to regain himself, but he was kicked in the chest by Sylas soon afterwards.
Meanwhile, Ahsoka grabbed a fallen wing from the crashed Republic Gunship and kicked it towards Barriss. Black Widow just slashed through the wing twice before she landed to face Ahsoka again. Ahsoka performed an Ataru overhead block before she got on top of the Gunship, the flames blazing behind her. "You can't hide forever, Ahsoka!" Barriss sneered, charging at Ahsoka while she had the high ground.
Barriss then performed a Vaapad downwards slash at the wing Ahsoka was standing on, but Ahsoka balanced herself on the other wing and jumped down to slash at her ex-friend the minute she slashed apart the metal. "I don't plan on hiding, Barriss!" Ahsoka spat. Barriss backflipped away and charged at Ahsoka once again, but she performed a Shien Niman slash at Barriss. Black Widow blocked the attack before Ahsoka leapt into the air and slid her left hand down her right arm, sending out a Ray of Light towards Barriss. Black Widow gasped and blocked the blast, but didn't see Ahsoka then Force-Blast her away.
Anakin ducked from Sylas, attempting to charge at Anakin with an overhead Vaapad slash. He clashed it with a Niman defense stance, but ducked from his next attack before the two performed Soresu strikes at each other. They then switched so that Sylas was using Vaapad while Anakin used Soresu. Sylas yelled as he performed a combination of Juyo and Makashi against Anakin, in which he eventually ended up sending a stab straight to his head. Anakin gasped and slid to the side, dodging the blade just in time.
Anakin then performed a Soresu swing at Sylas's chest, but Sylas grabbed his blade just as Anakin grabbed his own. Sylas then broke them off and kicked Anakin away. Anakin wiped some dirt and blood off from his cheek as he looked back to Sylas. "Is that the best you can do?!" Sylas remarked. Anakin just said nothing and stood ready in an Ataru opening stance.
"Give me a break. I've been busy looking for Ahsoka." Anakin then quipped.
Just then, behind Anakin, Ahsoka was sent flying through the air. She then regained herself as she flipped off of the ground, eventually blocking twin attacks from Barriss. "I bet you must have felt pretty broken after your breakout." Black Widow taunted, making Ahsoka remember back to when her Dark Side started to show. "Go ahead, lose control again. Strike me down with your anger!" Barriss taunted.
Ahsoka said nothing and calmly knocked Black Widow away. "I think that a little more of your new powers would help you right now." She then quipped, forming her double-bladed lightsaber to swing at Ahsoka.
Ahsoka took no offense in these remarks and stabbed her shoto into the ground, causing Barriss to lose her right lightsaber. "You're the one who needs help!" Ahsoka then yelled back. With that, she performed an overhead Makashi Slash at Black Widow, causing Barriss to duck. Black Widow watched in surprise as Ahsoka's azure blade cut off some of her hair.
Meanwhile, Anakin ducked from an overhead Vaapad slash from Sylas. Quickly moving, the two then applied Soresu strikes against each other, immediately engaging in a blade lock. Sylas smirked at Anakin. "The ORDER holds the ability to see into the future, Skywalker." Sylas remarked.
"What?!" Anakin then asked.
"What?!" Ahsoka asked as well.
"When I look into yours, I will torment you with those visions." Sylas then retorted. With that, his eyes started to glow black as he began to see into Anakin Skywalker's future.
"The Force is strong with you!" Darth Sidious stated, shooting down Sith Lightning.
Anakin then activated his lightsaber in front of a group of Younglings, all looking terrified.
"Anakin, Please!" Padmé then called out, being lifted into the air and reaching for her neck.
"You were my brother, Anakin!" Obi-Wan exclaimed, slashing down at Anakin and dismembering all of his body parts.
"A powerful Sith, you shall become!" Sidious exclaimed again.
"I HATE YOU!" Anakin then yelled, the vision of a planet being blown to bits, followed by the sound of deep breathing.
Sylas gasped upon seeing these visions and released himself from the blade lock. "No!" he exclaimed in shock. Anakin was also starting to feel something rise up within him as Sylas tried to comprehend all that he had just seen. "It is the Will of the Force. Anakin shall embrace his fate, and he will never stray away from the paths that he chooses." Sylas stated.
Anakin then looked up to Sylas and smirked. "I have you now!" he exclaimed.
Barriss gasped at this before Ahsoka jumped in her way, her body starting to glow.
Anakin's body also started to glow. "Whatever you saw wasn't a complete vision of my future, but it was enough to definitely let me see a hope that will allow me to embrace my past!" he exclaimed.
Ahsoka looked to Anakin and smiled. "And now, the Master has become the Student,"
"And the Student has learned all from the Master." Anakin then finished up.
Ahsoka started to glow green as she thrust her lightsaber downwards, preparing to form her Trinity Symbol. Anakin, glowing blue, did the same motions as her. Both Barriss and Sylas watched with confusion and amazement as they then slashed their lightsaber upwards. "Form VIII: SokaTan!" both Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker exclaimed, slashing downwards and then performing another slash, completing their Trinity Symbols. Anakin spun around and then sent it towards Sylas, a Krayt Dragon appearing with the symbol while Ahsoka doubled up her attack, a Sarlaac appearing as her Trinity Symbol made contact with Barriss. Both Sith yelled in pain before Anakin and Ahsoka charged at their respective opponents, slashing right through them. In a matter of seconds for Black Widow and Sylas, they were sent back by the attack.
Ahsoka and Anakin then ran up to each other. "I knew you could get it done, Skyguy." Ahsoka quipped.
Anakin laughed and nodded. "I can't believe I actually learned a new Lightsaber Technique from my Padawan rather than the Jedi Masters." Anakin mused.
Just then, the Shield surrounding the area started to dissipate. Barriss gasped at this as she looked over to her new Master. "The Team did it." Sylas mused to himself. He then let out a scoff. "How predictable."
"Well, then, predict this!" a voice then remarked. Everyone turned to the side as a series of blasts, birdarangs, batarangs and arrows were sent towards Sylas and Black Widow. The Team then emerged, all getting next to Ahsoka and Anakin from both sides.
"We've got your backs!" Aqualad stated.
Sylas then helped Barriss up to her feet before looking back to the Team. "Now that you have managed to take down my Invasion Headquarters, I see no reason to leave you alive any longer." He remarked. He then looked over towards Black Widow and nodded. "My Apprentice, now is the time to act, and let the Team, as well as the Republic, see the true might of the ORDER!" Sylas exclaimed. He turned back to everyone and then lifted up his own black-bladed lightsaber. "For Messiah!" he yelled out.
Barriss nodded at this and then lifted her lightsabers into the air, causing the Terror Titans to come out. The Team all gasped when they saw this. "Don't think that just because there are sixteen of you means that the end will be the same." Blood Bane spat.
"Yeah!" Falcon spat.
"Right now," Inertia started out sadistically.
"You guys," Ultraboy went on.
"Have absolutely," Silver Martian then stated.
"No chance," Prowler continued on.
"Against the full, almighty power," Xanadu went on.
"Of the ORDER!" Enola then finished up.
Barriss grinned evilly as she lifted her lightsaber into the air again with Sylas.
Syrena then teleported in with a horde of ORDER Swordsmen and the Yakuza Clan of ninjas, all being prepared to cut down the Team and the Republic to size.
Striker appeared from another edge of the canyon, revealing his ORDER Snipers, as well as ORDER Generals Spitfire, Spixe, Fingers, Stormshock and Heller.
Xever then beamed right in, leading more ORDER Soldiers, as well as the ORDER's secret mafia, the Five Fingers of Poison. They consisted of Ransik, a man with the appearance of a centipede, Garo with the deceitful looks and impression of the gecko, Parasythe, who looked like a living human yet animal parasite, Arlanda wearing body armor, scales and parts of a scorpion, and Naja donning the armor of a snake.
Slick, Black Spider, Cassie Cryar, Whorm Loathsom, Catwoman and Killer Croc then appeared out from another part of the canyon, all grinning as they finally revealed themselves to the Team and Anakin as Kidd Wykkyd teleported them into the area.
Asakura and Karai then appeared, with Cad Bane, Zod, Trigon, Kadaj, Ankh and Loz behind them. "You didn't think that you could just simply wish us away and hope for it to just be over, did you?" Kadaj asked sinisterly as Lab 401 and Morgana Le Fay appeared behind them soon afterwards.
The sixteen all looked in surprise as the large armies of the ORDER all ran in behind Sylas, Black Widow and the Terror Titans. "There has to be enough members of the ORDER there to outnumber all Clone Troopers and Battle Droids put together in one single army!" Serra exclaimed.
"Add all of the Jedi and Sith of the past, present and future to that!" Anakin then yelled. "That army is huge!" he exclaimed.
Ahsoka groaned as she saw the odds that they all had. "Where's a miracle when you need one?!" she exclaimed.
Sylas and Barriss both grinned at the Team and Anakin. "It's all over, Team." Sylas spat. "Better for you to turn yourselves in rather than to have your blood start to drip all over the place." Sylas added on.
"Come on, let a miracle happen, say, about RIGHT NOW!" Ahsoka called out again, almost sounding desperate for something to happen.
Just then, as if Ahsoka had prayed for a miracle, a dark blue Raven appeared in front of everyone. The ORDER and the Team all gasped as the Raven then disappeared, and in its place was now Raven, Jinx and Taiga!
Sylas, Barriss and Trigon all gasped in surprise at this. "I thought you were dead!" Trigon exclaimed.
"Yeah, you thought wrong!" Raven quipped. She, Jinx and Taiga all got up and then started to look the ORDER straight in the eyes.
"And guess what happened to your Perfect Jedi?" Taiga taunted as he looked over the mentors from Lab 401.
The three then ran up next to the Team, but Sylas was not impressed. "Try to increase in numbers, it won't matter." He remarked.
Anakin growled as he, Ahsoka and Serra all activated their lightsabers with Lux following as he activated the Darksaber. Just then, Anakin's earcom started to sound off. "General, reinforcements are heading your way." Rex stated.
"Good, we could use more of your Brothers, Rex!" Ahsoka called out.
"I wasn't talking about my Brothers." Rex then corrected, his voice now louder. Everyone then turned around to see all of the Clones arriving on the top of the canyon, their blasters aiming down towards the ORDER.
At that moment, the sound of a horse braying and the sound of a motorcycle engine revving filled the air. The ORDER looked to the side once again to first see Katana riding on the motorcycle that Anakin threw into the air, followed by Shining Knight on Pegasus.
Then, there was the sound of whooshing in the air as Terra, Halo, Stargirl, Firestorm, Novastar, Saga and Stingray all landed, with Cyborg, Kid Devil, Metamorpho, DeltaRay, the Natural, Blade Runner and Axel run in and land with them.
The sixteen other heroes ran in, getting on both sides of the growing Team. "Don't underestimate us, Sylas!" Novastar called out.
"After all, heroes are everywhere!" Stingray then proclaimed.
All of the ORDER stood in shock as Green Lantern Kyle Rayner flew in next to Starfire, followed by Red Star and Supergirl.
Striker and Slick both attempted to fire upon them, but all of a sudden, the ORDER Snipers that were also about to fire alongside them started to be frozen in blocks of ice. "What?!" Striker called out. He then looked over to the side to see Ice standing there, her arm pressed against the ground. "Who are you?!"
"Surprise!" Ice then quipped, swinging around swords of ice and then resting them on her shoulder.
Xever then attempted to attack Ice, but all of a sudden, blasts started to impact him. The Blade King yelled as he was then thrown into Syrena, and out from the smoke emerged Kim Possible, aiming her hands out in front of her. "Hello!" she exclaimed, blowing off the tips of her fingers as if they were guns.
Striker then thawed out his soldiers frozen by Ice. He cackled, but then, the sound of some roaring caught his attention. He turned to the side to then see Vixen fly through the Troopers, killing them immediately. Everyone turned to see Mari then land on top of a stone structure near the Team. "It's great to be back!" she exclaimed, narrowing her eyes at Sylas.
Syrena growled at this and unsheathed her swords. Before she could attack, she heard a voice call out, "Hey!" Alakshmi looked to the side to see a boy glowing blue, slashing at Syrena with a katana from the air. "Look out!" the same boy yelled before attacking again, slashing at Syrena as quick as the wind. Alakshmi then turned towards the attacker and saw Ron Stoppable, placing out his sword, the Lotus Blade, in front of him. "Booyah! Let the games begin!" he yelled out.
Striker and Xever then backed up behind each other, but they didn't see a glacier plate open up beneath their feet, causing an eruption of snow, which knocked them off of their feet. Sylas gasped and then looked to who attacked Striker and Xever, and then saw Snow standing there, her pure white and ice dress flowing through the wind.
The Team all smiled as they saw their increasing amount of heroic friends coming in to help them. "Looks like you guys could use a little help." Vixen then said, getting into a fighting stance as Ice, Snow, Kim and Ron walk up behind her before they all grouped together with the Team.
Ahsoka looked to everyone gather up with them, forming a Team of now forty-six members. "Okay, Sylas, let's do a bit of a headcount here." Ahsoka Tano quipped. "Your Perfect Jedi, now turned against you, a girl subjected to extreme and cruel torturing experiments, now imbued with the power of animal spirits, a macho posse of eight teens who have been oppressed by your doings, a Green Lantern and a Tamaranean, both with anger management issues, and a couple of samurai, soldiers, and other metahuman beings, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every… single… one of them."
Sylas chuckled as Striker, Xever, Syrena and Slick all rejoined the army. "I believe that that was the plan." He spat at the Team, clearly not intimidated by their strength in numbers.
"Not a very good plan, if you ask me." Anakin quipped, smirking to his Padawan.
Sylas grinned and stepped up to the Team. "I have an entire army."
"And we have the Republic." Ahsoka spat back. The rest of the heroes joining the Team to take down the ORDER all prepared to fight as Ahsoka went on. "You see, there is no version of this where you come out on top, Sylas, no throne, no way to evolve everyone to godhood." Ahsoka started out.
"Maybe, just maybe, your army will be too much for us, but it's all on you." Anakin then spat.
"If we can't protect the Earth, then you can be damn sure that the young can bring evil to justice." Ahsoka then finished up.
At that moment, every hero started to line up next to one another, starting from Snow to the Team to Supergirl. The Army of the ORDER all growled and snarled while the Team started to grow ready, and the Clones beginning to ready their blasters to fire upon all the members of the ORDER. The Team all prepared their weapons while the rest of the heroes got into fighting stances. After Ahsoka activated her double-bladed lightsaber, everyone charged towards the ORDER Army, all yelling with battle cries.
Some of the ORDER Troopers ran in front of the ORDER Army and then flew up into the air as missiles, all in groups of two or three. About fifty missiles rained down on the Team, but they still ran on, and the Republic Forces all fired upon the other members of the ORDER.
Everyone continued to charge at the large ORDER Army, missiles continuing to pour down on them. Upon a giant explosion, Robin leapt into the air with Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg. "You're going down!" Dick exclaimed, dropkicking down onto ORDER Commandos and Falcon, followed by Cyborg blasting down on some Troopers being led by Killer Croc. Raven then kicked down, her leg forming into a giant raven, causing the ORDER Troopers to die instantly as she landed her kick.
Ice started to punch at one of the ORDER Troopers before she leapt and kicked at another. She then performed a bicycle kick at Garo and Arlanda before landing back on the ground, where she rolled low to duck from an attack made by Kadaj. She kicked at an ORDER Trooper wielding a spear before she went back to back with Snow, who froze some Troopers before they looked to each other. The two nodded and started to switch enemies, backflipping into the air and attacking the ORDER more.
Snow grabbed the edge of the spear that the ORDER Commando was wielding and while taking the Commando on, she sent a blast of snow at another ORDER Trooper before she then froze the spear, snapping it apart before she ran off to take on Naja.
Katana was up against some ORDER Swordsmen being led by Asakura and Karai. They both attempted to slash at her, but she turned around and placed her Soultaker Sword behind her back, blocking the blades before she turned around to slash down at them. She then turned around to face Xever, but Ahsoka then intervened, slashing apart his swords before the two then ran off.
The Clone Troopers started to fire down at the ORDER, shooting down many of the ORDER Troopers before they even had a chance to fight back. "Keep it going, men!" Rex commanded his troops. Every one of the Clones continued to fire down at the ORDER before the battle started to escalate.
Kim started to punch at some of the ORDER Troopers before one of them shot at her. However, since Kim was wearing her famous Battlesuit, she used her lacrosse arm to send the blast back at the ORDER Trooper before she flew into the air and then slammed down onto the ground.
Taiga started to slash at the rest of the ORDER Troopers with Anakin behind him. "Alright! Follow my lead!" Anakin yelled out.
Taiga chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Try and keep up with my moves." He quipped. Anakin ginned at this before the two then attacked the ORDER Swordsmen from both sides, Anakin stabbing many ORDER Troops while Taiga performed twin Niman slashes. The two then switched sides and cut down the Troopers before they switched again, Taiga slashing over Anakin. Anakin smirked and leapt over Danny, the two slashing at twelve more Troopers.
Ravager then grabbed Naja by the throat and then flipped her over to the ground right before Artemis shot an arrow at Naja with her arrows. Prowler cackled at her opponents before then charging in. Ravager growled and then clashed her sword with Prowler's bow before Saw then shot a concussion blast towards Prowler. Artemis shot an arrow at Prowler, but she then engaged the three in a gunfight.
Vixen led Superboy, Geo-Force, Red Star, Taiga and Kid Devil into the air, ferociously attacking Jericho as he extended his lightsaber pike. Taiga engaged in a blade lock with his former Master before Red Star then shot a blast of heat towards him. Jericho faltered backwards before Kid Devil then slashed Jericho forwards, leading Superboy to then tackle him before Vixen stabbed him in the chest.
Novastar started to use her flaming sword to slash at all of the enemies around her. Xever attempted to strike at her, but all of her slashes let out flames that hit them all. After taking down all of her enemies, Julie smirked. "Alright!" she exclaimed right before she shot a blast of fire towards Saturn Sapphire.
Ahsoka stood back to back with Serra and Anakin, all three slashing down at the ORDER Troops. Ahsoka performed twin Ataru strikes at three Troopers before Anakin then ran over next to her so that he could strike at another Trooper. Serra then started to slash away at Arlanda. The three Jedi all then performed triple slashes at Kadaj, breaking his Souba before they then struck down Nuvo Vindi with a combined Force-Blast.
Kyle and Axel started to work together with Aqualad, alongside Stingray, Ice and Snow. All of them took on Blood Bane, swinging his Blood-Bearer Swords at them. Axel slashed one of his plasma swords at Blood Bane, but he parried off before Snow then started to blow a blizzard Blood Bane. "Why, you!" Blood Bane called out, but he was interrupted by Ice, who then froze his feet in place before Aqualad jumped into the air with Kyle and Stingray flying beside him, the three slashing down at Blood Bane. Ice, Snow and Axel then all blasted at Blood Bane. The resulting blast then ended with Blood Bane exploding into red mist.
Kid Devil then stabbed his trident forwards at an ORDER Trooper before clashing against Syrena. Batgirl then glided down with Stargirl, Terra and Ron and then pushed Syrena back. Alakshmi then placed both of her swords together, now slashing at the five teens with her new naginata. Ron placed up the Lotus Blade against Syrena's staff before Terra then chucked a rock towards Alakshmi. The Persian was knocked back as Stargirl then shot into the air at Black Spider.
Meanwhile, Firestorm landed on the ground after flaming some ORDER Troopers. Upon landing, he cupped his hands and sent some fire towards Spixe and Stormshock. The two grunted and went off to fight against the pyrokinetic, but Novastar got in the way. "I believe the term is 'Flame On'?" Julie asked Jason. Jason looked back and nodded before the two started to take on Spixe and Stormshock.
Stormshock shot Lightning at Novastar, but she just absorbed the blast and started to glow. "Fire outclasses Lightning any day!" Julie spat before she sent back a counterattack. Serra then flew in afterwards and slashed right through Stormshock, causing her to fall to the ground and go limp.
Firestorm started to dodge against Spixe's spike attacks. "They don't call me Spixe for nothing!" Spixe remarked.
"Yeah?! Well they don't call me the Natural for nothing either!" Ray then called out, flying towards Spixe on top of his shield before slashing him. Spixe yelled in pain before Raiden looked to Firestorm. "Let's do it!" the Natural then exclaimed.
"You know it!" Firestorm then quipped. The two looked to Spixe and then sent twin blasts of fire at him, causing the ORDER General to fall over in defeat.
Meanwhile, Falcon was sending countless barrages of falcorangs towards Robin. The Boy Wonder dodged to the side, where Starfire flew in and fired back. Falcon then glided into the air, but he was then met by Raven, who started to spread out her arms. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she incanted. Falcon yelled as he was knocked to the ground.
"That all you got, bitch?!" Falcon yelled. He then prepared to use his heat cannon against Raven and Starfire, but at that minute Terra jumped on top of Falcon's head and lifted up a rock with her Earth Powers.
"Now, Beast Boy!" Tara called out, lifting up the giant slab of rock. Garfield then charged in as a gorilla, and Terra then sent the rock towards Falcon. Falcon snickered and sent more falcorangs towards the rock, but as he was doing that, Beast Boy and Cyborg both slammed their fists into Falcon's face.
Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, Terra and Batgirl all then got together. Falcon growled and threw more falcorangs towards them, causing an explosion. The seven then leapt out, Beast Boy twirling in the air before one by one, they all attacked Falcon, Robin with his Bō Staff, Starfire with her starbolts, Cyborg with his sonic cannon, Beast Boy as pterodactyl, Raven in her mystic animal form, Terra using rocks, and Batgirl with batarangs. With all the heavy damage Falcon took, he dissipated into dark red mist and faded away.
Kid Flash and Inertia both started to fight at fast speeds. Even though Wally had plenty of upgrades from Jaybo, he was starting to lose. "What's the matter?! Can't keep up the pace?!" Inertia taunted.
All of a sudden, Saga then flew in, slashing right at Inertia precisely where he was going to run towards next. Inertia looked up and growled at Saga, but he transformed the blade of his rapier into a cord, wrapping around Inertia's foot. "Why, you!" Inertia yelled, starting to run around Saga. Conroy just flew into the air and then slid on the ground, using the evil clone of Kid Flash to pull him along.
"Now, I've gotcha!" Wally exclaimed, dashing right through Inertia. The evil speedster yelled in pain before he then dissipated into green mist. Kid Flash and Saga both looked to each other and smiled, the two grasping onto each other's hands. "Great job!" Wally complimented.
Superboy started to have an all-out fistfight with Ultraboy. As soon as the Bizarro Boy threw the Boy of Steel to the ground, his eyes started to glow blue. "Feel the burn, Connor Kent!" he exclaimed.
Before Ultraboy could then shoot, some heat vision hit his eyes. Ultraboy faltered back in pain as Connor looked up. He smiled when he saw Supergirl then fly in to help. "Double Team?" Kara asked as she flew into the air.
"You're on!" Connor yelled back, leaping into the air, the two now holding hands as they flew towards Ultraboy.
The Bizarro Boy was now in battle against Metamorpho, Taiga and Geo-Force. Upon seeing Superboy and Supergirl fly towards him, he shot inferno beams from his eyes. All of his blasts did nothing but miss the two before their own eyes started to glow red. "Now!" they both yelled, shooting heat vision down to Connor's evil twin.
Ultraboy was thrown back by the blast, but was then slammed in the air by Metamorpho, followed by being slammed by Geo-Force, and finally, Ultraboy immediately was stabbed in the stomach by Taiga. He growled and attempted to charge at Connor and Kara again, but they both performed twin punches towards him, causing the Bizarro Boy to dissolve into blue mist.
Meanwhile, Miss Martian was engaged in a psychic battle against Silver Martian. The evil Martian cackled as she pushed M'gann back in the battle, but was then thrown off by surprise when Halo flew over, blasting her in the stomach. Silver Martian looked to a giant depression left in her chest before looking back to Halo. "I'll make you bleed for that, girl!" Silver Martian exclaimed in anger.
"We'll see about that, whore." Halo replied back. Miss Martian then flew beside Halo before Kyle Rayner joined in. Silver Martian engaged all three of them with her dark telekinesis, throwing multiple items towards them. Kyle dodged these before he made handcuff constructs from his Power Ring, cuffing Silver Martian.
"Get her!" Kyle then commanded.
Miss Martian and Halo both looked to each other and nodded. M'gann began to concentrate all of her energy into a single blast while Halo then did the same. Silver Martian then gasped as she was hit with the combined energy of Miss Martian, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner and Halo. Screaming in pain, Silver Martian faded away into silver mist.
Prowler continued to shoot down towards Artemis, Saw and Ravager. "Running away, or finally starting to be stupid?" Prowler taunted.
"So not the drama!" Kim Possible then called out, leaping into the air and then punching Prowler in the back.
Before Prowler could counterattack, Rebel then ran in, shooting with his twin blaster pistols. Artemis, Saw and Ravager then joined in as they all started to strafe down Prowler. "Don't take me lightly!" Prowler then yelled, aiming her bow towards Artemis.
Before she could shoot, all of her arrows and her bow started to fly away. Prowler looked in confusion before Kim held out her wristwatch, grabbing all of Prowler's weapons. "Nine-Iron, huh?" she asked, looking smug. "Not the way to play the game when I have a super magnet placed in my Kimmunicator."
Prowler gasped before Artemis, Rebel, Gerrera and Ravager all shot towards Prowler, all blasts hitting her immediately. "This… THIS ISN'T OVER!" Prowler proclaimed in anger, disappearing into a cloud of purple mist.
"Yeah, whatever, you big Arrow-Ass." Ravager spat. Everyone laughed before they then started to take on the rest of the ORDER.
Zatanna held out her wand as she, Raven and Jinx started to surround Xanadu, with Morgana Le Fay behind her, being cornered by Sir Justin the Shining Knight and Ron Stoppable. "Do you really think you have what it takes to take on our dark magic?!" Xanadu yelled, both she and Morgana lighting up their hands with black energy.
"Look at the odds and ask yourself that question." Raven quipped.
Xanadu and Morgana both growled and sent blasts at their respective opponents. "Oh, no you didn't!" Ron quipped, glowing blue and sending Morgana's blast right back towards her while Shining Knight slashed a blast apart.
Zatanna, Raven and Jinx all then charged towards Xanadu, continuing to shoot curses and hexes at them. Raven and Jinx both ran to the side as Zatanna then jumped into the air, clashing her wand with Xanadu's. Xanadu pushed Zatanna immediately away from her, but didn't see Jinx then slide under her. "You've been jinxed!" Jinx quipped, shooting out some hexes of her own. Xanadu screamed in surprise as she was then thrown into the air, where Raven then created a tornado around herself and Xanadu. She then dashed back and forth at Xanadu before she sent a powerful black blast from her eyes at her. Xanadu screamed as she was then thrown to the ground.
Meanwhile, Morgana used her staff to take on Ron and Shining Knight, but the two used their blades to parry off her attacks before they then punched her back into Xanadu. Zatanna landed with Raven as Jinx ran alongside Ron Stoppable and Shining Knight. The three mages then started to place their hands together and close their eyes as Ron and Justin prepared to attack with powerful blasts.
"Azarath…" Zatanna started out.
"Metrion…" Raven went on.
"Zinthos…" Jinx continued.
"Maxima!" all three girls then incanted loudly, sending their own respective magic attacks towards Xanadu while Ron glowed blue and shot a blast of his own mystical energy towards Morgana Le Fay alongside Shining Knight as he used his Magical Sword. Xanadu faded away into black mist as Morgana fell weakly from the twin blasts sent at her.
At the same time, Rocket was taking on Enola. "Don't expect me to take it easy on you, girlfrien-" Enola started out, but was then interrupted by a green blast, followed by getting trounced upon and then getting hit again by a blue blast. It was then that Starfire, Vixen and Cyborg all appeared at Raquel's side.
"Thanks!" Rocket called out. "Didn't know how much more I could take from hearing Enola and her silver tongue."
"Sheesh! What a blabbermouth!" Vixen then remarked, placing a hand on her hip.
"I wonder how she likes the taste of her own insults!" Starfire then exclaimed, shooting more starbolts towards Enola.
"Bet that they taste as bad as her sexist quips." Victor Stone then added on, forming a series of cannons and guns from his mechanical body.
"All together, everyone!" Rocket then yelled, tossing a Force Bubble around Enola's waist. Soon, Rocket, Starfire, Vixen and Cyborg all sent their own energized blasts towards Enola, knocking her out of the sky and landing on a power line connected to the base. She yelled in pain before finally dissipating into yellow mist. Raquel looked towards the remains of Enola before scoffing. "Never thought that the woman would ever shut her mouth." She mused.
Kid Devil then slashed twice at Spixe with his trident, killing the ORDER General before Metamorpho then leapt over him, sending a punch towards Spitfire, her flaming body immediately landing on top of Spixe as Starfire and Raven then flew into the air. The two looked to each other and nodded before they grabbed each other's hands, twirling around and disintegrating Fingers, Heller, Naja, Arlanda, Garo, and Parasythe.
Artemis and Taiga both then went back to back with each other, shooting and slashing at many more of the ORDER Troopers before Ice and Snow then appeared, freezing their surrounding enemies before Aqualad and Stingray appeared back to back with each other as well, liquefying some ORDER Commandos.
Asakura and Karai were about to attack until both Katana and Shining Knight got in their way, unsheathing their swords. "Seibei!" Katana then yelled, the two slashing at the chests of the leaders of the Yakuza Clan before Robin, Batgirl, the Natural, Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable, Serra, Kid Flash, Ravager and Stargirl all dashed right through the rest of the ninjas in the Yakuza Clan, killing them immediately.
Anakin started to perform Ataru and Soresu strikes at Striker and Xever before turning around to Force-Push Killer Croc into Ankh and Loz. "You doing okay there, Snips?" Anakin then asked Ahsoka.
Ahsoka chuckled as she twirled around, letting her braids flow through the wind. "Just getting warmed up here, Skyguy." She quipped, a grin emerging on her face. She then performed a Niman slash towards Cassie Cryar, and then used a series of Shii-Cho strikes at Syrena before she then kicked away Kidd Wykkyd.
Raven looked to more of the ORDER Troops and then encircled her arms. "Azarath Ultimo Zinthos!" she incanted, a black raven forming on her leg before she leapt into the air. As soon as Raven was in the air, all of her Emoticlones started to appear next to her, all in the same kicking position that Rachel was in.
Cyborg placed out his arms and then formed Gatling guns, shooting at the ORDER Troops as Raven sent her mystic kick at them, followed by Taiga running through the explosion and slashing aside Kadaj, who died in the explosion too.
Katana's Soultaker Sword lit up green as Shining Knight's sword glowed blue. The two then slashed at the ORDER Swordsmen being led by Ankh and Loz. The two remaining Remnants dodged the slashes, but were then killed by a dropkick made by DeltaRay and a flying slash made by Axel.
Blade Runner then released all of his swords, ready to slash down at Zsasz. "Somehow, I start to pity you." Skye then quipped at Zsasz before Novastar cupped her hands together, forming a large ball of fire alongside Firestorm, encircling his arms with flames.
Stingray then boarded his Manta Surfer and rode right at Ransik, all three killing their opponents in a fiery inferno before all landing next to each other victoriously.
Ice and Snow then jumped into the air, preparing to land frozen kicks at more of the ORDER Troopers while Supergirl dashed right through Zod and Java, all three managing to kill their opponents.
Batgirl then led a large amount of ORDER Troopers to a hill alongside Saga, Stargirl and Metamorpho. Barbara performed a low roundhouse kick at one ORDER Sniper before she then tossed aside two more. Batgirl then kicked another incoming ORDER Trooper in the stomach before then doing an offhand backhand at an ORDER Commando.
Stargirl then flew down, kicking one of the ORDER Troopers down the hill and then parrying off an ORDER Swordsman's blade, throwing him to the side and then twirling around to slash at more ORDER Troopers. Before another ORDER Swordsman attempted to stab at her, she threw her Cosmic Staff at him, immediately killing him.
Metamorpho grabbed an ORDER Swordsman's blaster and knocked him away to the edge of the cliff before he then roundhouse kicked five more ORDER Troopers. Some ORDER Snipers attempted to fire upon him, but Rex Mason absorbed all of the blasts and then sent the energy right back at the Snipers with Lightning.
Saga then used his rapier to slash aside ORDER Swordsmen and Snipers alike, eventually causing all the enemies the four were facing to roll down the hill and into the flames of a crashed Republic Gunship.
Saga then ran towards Novastar to help her, but he was then attacked by the tail of Killer Croc. Novastar gasped at this and broke off from the ORDER Swordsman she was facing. "Die, Croc!" Julie called out, blasting fire at him. Killer Croc avoided the blast and then slashed down his claw. Stingray defended Novastar from the slash before the Natural slashed at Killer Croc, followed by strafing from DeltaRay. Killer Croc then dodged a slash from Axel, but not from Taiga, right before Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable ran in to help.
Croc looked to all ten of his enemies before using the power imbued in him from the Symbio-Enhancer to use his tail as a whip against them. Everyone except for Kim and Ron were hit, as Kim ducked from an attack while Ron slashed the tail whip with the Lotus Blade. Killer Croc attempted to attack again, but due to his shorter tail, he was now an easier target. Kim sent a powerful punch towards him while Ron slashed at his stomach with the Lotus Blade.
Killer Croc fell back in pain before Novastar and Saga looked to each other. "Let's go!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Saga replied back.
Both Novastar and Saga then unsheathed their swords and leapt into the air as Stingray did the same. DeltaRay, the Natural, Blade Runner and Axel all then aimed at Killer Croc all at once as Taiga dashed forwards with his Chrome Claws and then unleashed a blast alongside Kim and Ron. All blasts, jabs and slashes all hit Killer Croc simultaneously before he went limp to the ground.
Meanwhile, Sylas and Barriss found themselves surrounded by the fifteen members of the Team and Anakin. They growled at them viciously as everyone stood ready to attack. "Damn you, Team!" Sylas cursed out loud.
Black Widow then sent web bombs towards all of the teens and the Hero with No Fear, causing them to fall to the ground, but Robin, Artemis, Zatanna, Rebel, Gerrera, Batgirl and Ahsoka all shot at them.
The blast caught both Sylas and Black Widow off guard, giving the rest of the Team enough time to counterattack. Aqualad struck at Barriss, who threw him aside, before Ahsoka then landed a hit on her. Sylas then managed to parry off an attack made by Lux using his Darksaber, but Serra then slashed at him before Ahsoka, Anakin and Serra all performed triple Niman and Ataru strikes at the two Sith, knocking them back towards the edge of the canyon.
As Sylas and Barriss regained themselves, the rest of the heroes who came to help the Team fight off against the ORDER all ran up behind them, followed by the Clone Troopers. Sylas growled and looked to Ahsoka and Anakin. "I admit that I did not foresee you calling upon the help of your other young heroes of justice to come and assist you, Padawan Tano," Sylas admitted. "But rest assured, I have a surprise of my own… in store."
"Then you're going down, once and for all!" Ahsoka proclaimed.
Anakin nodded at this before the two then stabbed their lightsabers downwards, thrusting them upwards, slashing downwards and completing their Trinity Symbols before sending it towards Sylas and Barriss, performing their twin variation of SokaTan. Sylas looked up, both now hindered and singed, and cackled. The two, as well as Syrena, Striker, Xever, Slick, and the rest of the surviving ORDER Generals and Soldiers then disappeared in black mist, the battle now over.
"Yes!" Ahsoka exclaimed. She looked back to the rest of her friends and pulled down her fist in victory. "We sent them running!"
Everyone all cheered at the victory just as the Justice League flew in. All of them were prepared to take down the ORDER, just as they did with the Injustice League when they attacked, but soon ceased in surprise upon seeing that the ORDER was already defeated.
Batman then walked up to the Team. "What happened here?" he asked sternly.
Ahsoka grinned and shrugged. "We took down the ORDER and sent Sylas and Black Widow running." She replied simply.
Kim and Ron then looked to each other and nodded. "Hey, Ahsoka!" Kim yelled out, getting the Togrutan's attention. "You did good work here today." She said.
"You too." Ahsoka replied back, smiling towards them.
"Time for us to go now." Ron then said.
The Togrutan raised her eyebrows in confusion as the five girls who helped the Clones take on the ORDER Fighters around the world, Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin, known as WITCH, gathered with Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable. "Let's just hope that the day for the bigger battle will unite all of us." Will then said.
Ahsoka looked confused, yet she knew what they were talking about. "You can bet on it." She replied back.
Kim and Ron both sent salutes before a silvery wall appeared before them while the WITCH girls disappeared through a pink portal.
Ahsoka looked to the seven leave before she turned back, everyone looking as if nothing had happened. "It wasn't just the Team who saved the world today," Ahsoka started out to Batman. "Together, all forty-four of us, forged something great and powerful, and took down the ORDER. We may be young, but we deliver justice."
"They're practically a Young Justice." Anakin then added on. Upon saying that, the Team all looked to Anakin with smiles and grins on their faces. "What?" Anakin asked in confusion.
"The Young Justice, huh?" Robin asked himself.
"I think it works for us." Artemis then stated.
Batman looked to Anakin, and then to the large number of heroes. After a brief moment of silence, a grin appeared on his face. "Good job, Young… Justice." He complimented all of the Team.
The Young Justice all looked to each other with happiness before two Republic Star Cruisers appeared in the air. "A bit too late, if you ask me." Anakin joked. Ahsoka chuckled before Anakin then walked up to her, holding a box in his hand. "Ahsoka, I was wondering about when I should give this to you," the Chosen One started out. "And, since today's special," Anakin went on, opening the box. Ahsoka then gasped as she saw her old Padawan Braid, as well as a blue lightsaber crystal. "Happy Birthday."
Ahsoka smiled at this before she then embraced Anakin, the two laughing happily. The rest of the Young Justice, as well as the Justice League, looked to the two Jedi happily before the rest of the Republic arrived.
Four days later…
Ahsoka walked happily through the Cave, passing by Stingray and Novastar. She sent a friendly wave towards them, in which they both returned the favor. Ahsoka then passed Terra, both giving each other the rock before Garfield then passed by. Terra couldn't resist but grab Beast Boy and kiss him on the lips. "I've always wanted to do that!" Terra exclaimed. Beast Boy blushed before they then kissed again.
Ahsoka smiled as she continued walking to her room, sending a salute to Anakin before she entered and started to write at her journal.
"'Things have changed ever since my birthday.'" The original Young Justice enters the Cave, and then sees Raven and Starfire walking down the halls, having a conversation while the Natural is training with Taiga. "'Our Young Justice is growing, and all the time, all activity from the ORDER or the Light has been quiet.'"
Ahsoka finished writing this up as she soon left her room, running with Anakin towards the Mission Room to meet up with the others. "'For those wondering who I am and what is going on, I am Ahsoka Tano.'" The alarms then go off. Ahsoka looks towards Aqualad, and the Atlantean nods before everyone in the Young Justice run off to the Hangar Bay.
"'Whenever danger calls, the Young Justice is ready.'" The entire Young Justice then starts to run into ships while others fly out. "'We are the Young Justice, and I am Ahsoka Tano. Despite what you hear, I am still a Jedi, and right now, I am on the Path of the Padawan.'" Ahsoka then flies out, flying with the Young Justice into the sunset as the Republic then joins them, the sun setting as they departure.
Bialya…
Xion kept her hood down as Sylas directed her towards a large room. Torches in the halls started to ignite as Black Widow, the Terror Titans, Syrena, Xever and Striker all saluted to her before she Force-Blasted the doors wide open.
Once Xion entered, the floor beneath her disappears, and she starts walking on thin air. When she reaches the center of the room, Messiah reveals himself, entering her body. Xion then looks up as her eyes glow yellow, a black, flute-shaped lightsaber hilt appearing in her hands. Xion smirked before she got onto her knees, the rest of the ORDER Council appearing before her as well. Taking a deep breath and letting her eyes glow yellow, she started to speak. "What is thy bidding, my Master?" she asked.
"This turn of events from the Young Justice was most unexpected." Messiah stated as he looked down to Xion.
"Yes. We now face a threat that is more dangerous than we anticipated." Xion replied grimly.
"Your power of the Dark Side of the Force has finally gained my trust. With the new powers I now grant you, your mission as my disciple begins now." Messiah then finished up. Xion looked up and smiled evilly as the rest of the Council of the ORDER did the same. Xion then turned back to Sylas, smirking before Sylas smiled back.
THE END… OR IS IT?
Deep in space, two dark figures in cloaks walked down the halls of the ancient home planet of the Sith, Korriban. One of the figures, with red skin and mechanical legs, looked over to his side, where another figure stood, slightly shorter and with a feminine body build. "Now, our time has come." The red man stated. "Are you ready, my Apprentice?" Darth Maul then asked.
The female figure then looked up, some Montrals showing from her hood before her eyes started to glow red with rage. "Thought you would never ask… my Master." She then replied in a sinister tone, her eyes flaring with much anger. The two grinned to each other before they laughed, walking into a room full of flames, the door closing behind them.
