Happy holidays, heroes and villains! Centurion Maximo checking in and welcome back to Young Justice: Their War, Our World. I took a break from writing for a while, but now I'm back at it with the final part of A New Conspiracy!
In the last part, Perdita was almost assassinated, but Crimson Knight rescued her from Lucas Boomer and Hellcrest. Embersting, Skywinder, and Sidewinder also got involved in protecting Vlatava's true ruler, not that the people believe that now since Count Vertigo 'saved' them.
Now, I actually lost track of this chapter and I found out it was deleted by accident, so I had to rewrite the entire thing from scratch. This admittedly took a long while as I've been working on my other stories as well. Plus, I was having a lot of trouble on how to finish this multi-parter off.
aklike95: To clear something up, this isn't G.I Joe Hawk, this is Transformers: Super-God Masterforce Hawk who is a Pretender: Metalhawk.
Now, let's begin the final part of A New Conspiracy!
*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. 7:00 am*
The Team were discussing the most recent news. "Queen Perdita was almost assassinated?" Artemis asked, shocked.
"Yeah. Then, suddenly, someone dressed in red knight's armor appeared and rescued her from the would-be assassinators." Dick answered.
"I don't know, that sounds a little too corny to me." Conner commented.
"Do you think it's Count Vertigo?" M'gann raised an eyebrow.
"It has to be. Who else wants to see Perdita dead more than anyone else." Wally stated as a matter of factly while munching on some potato chips. "I'm just surprised that a Decepticon was there to help attempt it."
"If a Decepticon was involved, the Machination must be backing Count Vertigo somehow." Kaldur deduced.
"What can we do, though?" Wally asked. "As far as the people of Vlatava are concerned, Count Vertigo is their savior and has diplomatic immunity."
"There must be some dirt on him." M'gann guessed.
"Of course there is! The problem now is that since the people love him, it has to be found very carefully." Dick reminded.
*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. Red Tornado's Quarters. 7:05 am*
Red Tornado was still in his quarters as he literally had not moved for days. He was like a statue still looking at his robotic hands. "What is your game, T.O Morrow?" He quietly asked himself. "Did you program me just to infiltrate the Justice League and disrupt them from within?"
His tone became one of determination. "I have to get answers for myself." He got up and began scanning for unique energy signatures around the world, attempting to find at least some clues.
*Unknown Location. Ivo's laboratory. 9:45 am*
"It seems our little gamble with taking Count Vertigo proved to be a great success." Ivo grinned. "The Machination has control of Vlatava and its populace through him."
"Indeed. A very smart move to recruit him. His diplomatic immunity is a much needed counterbalance against the Justice League since they can't even touch him lest they incur the wrath of the Vlatavan people." Blightshot added. "How delicious."
"Meaning we now have free range in Vlatava without ever being detected." Amazo finished with a small grin. "Apologies, Professor. I'm still not used to being able to speak fluently."
"Oh, think nothing of it, Amazo. I like to think of you speaking like a human an incredible upgrade." Ivo commented.
"Thank you, Professor." Amazo said professionally.
"This is King Vertigo testing out the communications system in Vlatava." Vertigo voiced.
"This is Professor Ivo, King Vertigo. Looks like the setup is a complete success." Ivo stated.
"Indeed. Plaguewing and Stormwing have done very well. However, they cannot be everywhere all the time." King Vertigo reminded.
"Oh, I agree completely. You'll need to surround yourself with people you are willing to trust, provided you can prove they won't stab you in the back or in your sleep." Ivo instructed.
*Happy Harbor. Neola Madison. 10:43 am*
Neola was already getting ready to head out, still on edge thinking those two robots were going to pop up at any moment she's not careful. She got on her motorbike and sped off, unknowing that Strobe was still following a fair distance behind her. This went on for a few minutes until Neola looked into a mirror and saw Strobe following her. Neola immediately tried to lose her, but Strobe was still on her.
Reaching another part of the city, Neola parked in an alleyway and spotted some junk lying around. She smirked. "Maybe I could do something with this." She ran to the junk.
Meanwhile, Strobe reached where Neola had parked and moved slowly, two machine guns popping out of her sides as she did so. When she heard something clatter, she immediately fired, which turned out to be a simple garbage can. Neola took this little distraction as an opportunity to throw some discs onto the ground, hop back on her motorbike, and speed away. Strobe made to follow her, but hit the discs which exploded on contact. "Miserable human!" Strobe screamed.
"Try to catch me!" Neola screamed.
"Oh, you're so on." Strobe growled as she sped to catch up with her. It didn't take much time for her to find Neola again and began firing.
"Ah!" Neola squeaked briefly.
"You can't run or hide, human!" Strobe yelled as she continued firing.
Neola was driving as fast as she could from Strobe, but the Decepticon was faster. However, just as she was about to catch up to Neola, Blurr showed up, knocking Strobe off the road, who transformed into robot mode. "Surprise seeing you in the open, Autobot! Unlike back on Cybertron!" She screamed angrily.
"Oh. like you were back with my operation in Vos?" Blurr transformed into robot mode and smirked.
Strobe only growled and fired her machine guns at Blurr who effortlessly dodged. Blurr then swept kicked Strobe off her feet, but she used this to kick Blurr in the chestplate. This didn't affect Blurr as much as she thought. The Autobot proceeded to use his speed to deliver a set of rapid punches to Strobe's side, disorienting her, but she recovers and manages to land a few machine gun rounds in Blurr's left leg, causing him to slow down a little which gave her the opportunity to land more hits. "Not so fast now, are you, Blurr?" Strobe mocked as she continued shooting him.
Suddenly, the Team arrived in the Bioship. Artemis fired explosive arrows at Strobe while Superboy tackled her to the ground. Before he could do more damage, Strobes released bright flashing lights, causing him to shield his eyes, allowing her to punch him off. Robin threw explosive discs at the Decepticon who brought her arm up to block them. "Enjoy this taunting for now, organics!" Strobe transformed back to vehicle mode and drove off.
Neola sighed in massive relief. "I thought she'd never leave. Thanks."
"No problem. I knew you'd figure me out the second you entered my garage." Blurr smiled.
"True that." Neola giggled as the Team walked up to her.
"You okay?" Artemis asked.
"Oh, I'm good. Thanks for asking." Neola kept her smile. "So, that was a Decepticon?"
"Yes." Blurr answered immediately.
"I see. Robin, is it?" Neola asked, to which he nodded. "I want to join the team."
"Are you sure? You'd basically be putting a target on yourself." Robin reasoned.
"I'm serious. Since Blurr told me only the broad side of this war, you guys and the Autobots need all the allies you can get." Neola retorted.
"In that case, we can talk to the League." Aqualad stated. Neola accepted that and went with the Team. "By the way, if they do agree, you'll need an alternate name."
Neola thought for a minute before coming up with something. "Techwerx."
Hello, everyone. I hope you all like the final part of the second multi-parter in Young Justice: Their War, Our World. I'm sorry that this took a long while, but I was having a bit of trouble with it, overall. Anyway, Neola Madison had an encounter with the Decepticon Strobe in Happy Harbor. However, thanks to Blurr and the Team's intervention, Strobe is fended off and Neola joins the team as Techwerx. Now, the Team were able to inflict a little more damage because Strobe's frame is lighter and smaller, thus it's a little more fragile.
Also, so that potential confusion may be cleared up, Neola is a technokenitic.
