Hello, heroes and villains. Centurion Maximo here and welcome back to Young Justice: Their War, Our World. In the last chapter, Kit Taylor discovered a weird object. Meanwhile, a new Decepticon called Flamewerx evades some police in River City, meeting up with the very first Mini-Con in the entire story: Thunderclaw.
Now then, back to the action!
*Los Angeles. Red Tornado. 08:34 am*
Red Tornado had been away from the League for about five weeks now. He was still contemplating Morrow's words. "Maybe I should return to the League." Tornado had contemplated this multiple times. In all honesty, he felt a little guilty for just taking off like he did. Suddenly, he got hit with a fireblast from behind. He turned to see Red Inferno floating there, a fireball in her hand
Retaliating, Red Tornado generated two tornadoes from his hands, but Red Inferno seamlessly evaded his attack. "Who are you?" Red Inferno didn't answer and instead kept attacking him, forcing Tornado to be on the defensive.
Red Torpedo was underneath them both, waiting for the right moment to attack. He wasn't alone, however. Strobe and Blightshot were with him. "Ready on my mark." Blightshot ordered. Strobe readied one of her personal weapons while Red Torpedo generated water in his hands. They waited until Red Tornado was almost directly above them. "NOW!"
Strobe fired a blue electrical pulse that hit Tornado, frying his circuitry. He tried to stay in the air, but he couldn't do it. Blightshot then shot some kind of paralytic virus that sent Tornado plummeting to the ground with a hard clang. He tried moving a hand to get back up, but Blightshot pressed her foot down on him. "You're not getting out of this, hero." Blightshot taunted. "Your father will be happy to see you." Finally, Tornado dropped, shorting out.
*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. 10:32 am*
"Everyone, this is my daughter, Zatanna." Zatara introduced with a small smile.
"H-Hello, everybody." Zatanna shyly waved.
"Nice to meet you." Neola waved back. "I'm Neola."
"Robin." Dick smiled. "These are Wally, Kaldur, M'gann, Conner, and Artemis."
Heavy footsteps were heard when the Autobots transformed to their robot modes just outside the mountain's entrance. "Ah, Zatanna. There are a few others you need to meet." He took his daughter to meet their new friends. "These are the Autobots."
Needless to say, Zatanna was beyond flabbergasted seeing what was in front of her. Giant alien robots staring down at her. "Wow…" Zatanna breathed.
*Unknown Location. Ivo's Laboratory. Unknown Time*
Ivo had just completed a new robotics project, albeit a smaller one. "There we go." A moderate-sized green and black drone with long wings, bulkier middle build with missile launchers on both sides, twin turbo boosters, and bright red eyes just came online. "Greetings, sir. How may I assist you?" The drone suddenly spoke.
"Incredible! You shall be S.P.E.E.D!" Ivo laughed heartily.
*Unknown Location. Queen Perdita and Crimson Knight. 13:42 pm*
"How are you feeling, Perdita?" Shane asked.
"A little better than yesterday, but not great." Perdita admitted.
"You need that heart transplant fast." Shane reminded. "Otherwise, you won't last much longer."
"How will we get a transplant when Vertigo rules my country?" Perdita asked. "The minute he hears that I survived the assasination attempt in Seattle, he'll have people come for me."
"We'll figure it out, your highness." Shane said.
*Ivy University, Ivy Town. 15:21 pm*
A brown-skinned boy with blue eyes, white hair, a small beard wearing a simple green sweater, gray sweatpants, and sneakers was working on a report on water and how it was essential to life when he saw the news. "Well, that's not good."
"What's not good, Omar?" A voice asked. The boy turned to see a short blonde-haired girl with peach skin with purple eyes wearing a short-sleeve white shirt, black dress pants, and black dress shoes.
"This whole Machination thing, Felicia." Omar admitted.
"Oh, yeah. You think Lucas knows about it?" Felicia asked.
"Of course I do." The two turned to see a young man with auburn hair in a traditional military buzz cut, brown eyes, pale skin wearing a black short-sleeve shirt, camo shorts, and camo sandals. "This whole thing with them is just a giant mess." Lucas continued.
"Agreed. This whole deal is nonsense." Felicia frowned.
*Nevada. Venomsting's Laboratory. 18:23 pm*
Dr. Desmond, you've been in your lab for quite a while." Venomsting commented.
"Sorry about that, Venomsting. I've been working on mass production of the G-Sentinels." Dr. Desmond apologized. "However, I have completed another case of Project: Blockbuster."
"That's excellent news." Venomsting smiled. "I've received word that our comrades have begun work on Project: Sonicboom. Also, Red Tornado has been captured."
That got Desmond's attention. "A Justice League member has been captured by us?"
"Indeed." Venomsting confirmed.
*Unknown Location. T.O Morrow's Laboratory. Unknown Time*
Red Tornado sparked back to life. Trying to sit up, he realzied he was immobile. "Ah, I see you're awake." T.O Morrow spoke as he walked into Tornado's view.
"You- You are..." Tornado didn't get to finish.
"I am your creator, Red Tornado. The perfect sleeper agent to destroy the Justice League." T.O Morrow continued. "A magnificent machine designed to eliminate them from within."
"I will never do that." Red Tornado countered.
"Why not?" Morrow chuckled. "Oh, don't tell me you actually thought you could have friendship? It's not in your programming. Did you believe that your programming could change? Evolve? Irrational thinking, Tornado."
"You call it irrational. I call it advancement." Red Tornado retorted.
"I'll show you advancement." Morrow grinned as he gestured for the others to emerge. Now, Red Tornado fully saw Red Inferno, Red Torpedo, Red Volcano, and Tornado Tyrant all lined up. "A family of Tornadoes, and you will complete that family."
"You can't expect me to agree to this." Red Tornado said.
"Of course not. Then again, I never said you'd join willingly." Morrow then pulled out a special device and began tinkering with Red Tornado while the latter was struggling to break free to no avail.
Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked this chapter of Young Justice: Their War, Our World. The main big thing in this chapter is Red Tornado getting captured. What will happen to him? Another big point is that Zatanna has finally arrived, meeting the Team and the Autobots!
Meanwhile with the Machination, Professor Ivo has initiated Project: Overdrive and already completed S.P.E.E.D. Not only that, but we go back to Nevada in Venomsting's Laboratory where Dr. Desmond has completed more of Project: Blockbuster.
We also pay a small visit to Queen Perdita and Crimson Knight. Perdita still needs that heart transplant and fast.
Further down the line of this chapter, we visit Ivy University where we meet three new characters:
Lucas Raines
Felicia Salter
Omar Jameson
