Hello, bots and cons. Centurion Maximo here and welcome back to Young Justice: Their War, Our World! In the last chapter, people were still in mourning and for very good reason. We got to see a bonding moment between Robin and Zatanna as well as some time with Clark and Lois. Later, Robin goes out and sees Drift, but thinks he's Bludgeon and doesn't catch him. Dark times are ahead as the Machination are moving ahead with their plans.
Now, back to the action!
*KSI Headquarters, Chicago. 16:54 pm*
Morrow, Ivo, Attinger, Admiral Hook surprisingly, and Dr. Desmond were having a tour of KSI and they were impressed with what they saw. "Quite impressive for a businessman." Ivo complimented.
"I'm surprised you're joining us." T.O Morrow said. "Doesn't seem like a typical move for a businessman like yourself."
"Let's just say I have different views." Joshua smirked.
"Good to know." Admiral Hook smiled.
*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. 17:21 pm*
"Why didn't you tell us about Bludgeon?!" Dick yelled angrily at the Autobots.
"What were we supposed to say? Oh, Bludgeon is a Decepticon martial arts master whom no one has ever been able to take down?" Bishop asked rhetorically.
"We still had a right to know." M'gann retorted.
"I agree, but we didn't even know he was on Earth until four days ago." Bishop countered.
"I can't believe this!" Dick threw his hands up.
"Dude, calm down!" Wally shouted.
"You don't know what I'm going through, Wally!" Robin shouted back as he ran out of the main room. He opened the secret door. However, he saw the same person from two days ago. The person sped off, Dick taking off after him in immediate pursuit.
"Where's he going in such a hurry?" Conner was a little shocked that Robin was acting like himself a bit.
"W
*210 kilometers outside Happy Harbor. 18:21 pm*
Robin was still speeding after the mysterious person who was doing a pretty damn good job of keeping ahead. That was, until Robin managed to corner him in a nearby forest. The person jumped out of his car before he hit any trees.
The Team had caught up with Drift and managed to cuff him. "All right, Bludgeon. Time to die." Robin growled, raising his weapon.
"You've got the wrong guy. I'm not Bludgeon." Drift tried to explain, but Robin wasn't really having it until Miss Martian read his mind.
"He's telling the truth. This isn't Bludgeon." Miss Martian clarified.
"Now can you uncuff me, please?" Drift asked. Artemis did just that. "Thank you."
"How can we tell you aren't Bludgeon in disguise?" Robin asked heatedly.
"Robin…" Zatanna muttered quietly.
"I would either be Makeshift or have a disguise device if that were the case." Drift deadpanned. "You are clouded by grief."
"You're not really making a good case." Robin retorted.
"Robin, let him talk." Artemis said a little sternly. Robin didn't really want to, but the looks his friends were giving him were enough to make him back down a little.
"Now, will you actually listen?" Drift asked, though the others could tell his question was mostly directed at Robin.
"Who are you?" Aqualad asked calmly.
"My name is Drift. I'm an Autobot. I'm looking for Bludgeon." Drift began to explain until Robin cut him off.
"Why? To join up with him?" He asked heatedly.
"Robin, stop it!" Zatanna exclaimed. "Clearly, this guy's not here to join up with the Decepticons or Machination."
Another engine was heard and it turned out to be Bumblebee and Arcee appeared. "Drift?" Bumblebee asked.
Meanwhile, Arcee was scolding Robin. "What the hell were you thinking, Robin?"
"Why don't we head back to Mount Justice and we'll talk?" Bumblebee suggested.
"That would be best. Our enemies are all around us." Drift said.
"Closer than you think." A voice said. They all turned to see Bludgeon standing there, ready to unleash his sword. The team gasped, Robin starting to shiver in fear and anger. Drift, Arcee, Bumblebee jumped in front of them.
"It's been a long time, Deadlock." Bludgeon smirked.
"That mech died a long time ago." Drift growled.
Wait. Do you two know each other?" Superboy raised an eyebrow.
"Deadlock was once a comrade and my former student." Bludgeon answered, causing the team to look at Drift with wide eyes as he readied his swords. Robin instead ran at Bludgeon, bo-staff ready, but Bludgeon easily blocked it with just one of his katanas.
Bludgeon effortlessly kicked Robin into a tree, hard. As he walked up to the young hero, Superboy punched him in the back, making Bludgeon stumble forward a little. This gave Kid Flash the chance to deliver some fast punches. However, Bludgeon judo-grabbed Superboy, and threw him into Kid Flash which made them hit the ground.
"Relas Tsalb!" Zatanna chanted and a yellow laser blast from her hand, but Bludgeon blocked it easily.
Miss Martian levitated a dead tree and threw towards the Decepticon, but Bludgeon sliced through it and threw a kunai at the martian, cutting her leg. Miss Martian hissed in pain as she fell to the ground. Once there, Bludgeon pressed two fingers to her chest, making her fly back a few feet.
Artemis was the last one Bludgeon stared menacingly as he ran towards her. She shot an explosive arrow which landed on contact, but Bludgeon ran through it. He punched her in the stomach, sending her into a tree. He walked back to Robin, but Drift slashed him in the left hip, giving Bumblebee to shoot him with his stingers. Arcee shot at him with her blaster.
Robin tried to get up, but fell back down, spitting out a little bit of blood. Wonder Woman, Superman, and Flash showed up. "Robin, are you okay?!"
"I'm fine." Robin spit out a bit more blood.
"We've got to get out of here!" Flash Team, Autobots, Wonder Woman, and Superman fell back. Bludgeon merely watched them fall back. He sheathed his sword and smirked darkly.
Back at Mount Justice, the Team were getting treated. "What the hell were you all thinking?!" Black Canary screamed.
"Don't look at us." Bumblebee raised his hands in defense. "Robin here ran off in pursuit of Drift thinking he was Bludgeon." Everyone looked at Robin in shock, and he lowered his head.
"What were you thinking?" Superman asked quietly.
"He wasn't!" Bishop chastised as he entered the room. "I recommend he is confined until he learns never to face Bludgeon like that!"
"Bishop, don't you think you're being harsh?" Ratchet questioned.
"This is Bludgeon we're talking about!" Bishop yelled. "They're all super lucky to escape alive!" Everyone was deathly silent at his words. Bludgeon was already a massive problem.
Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked this chapter of Young Justice: Their War, Our World. Now, the whole Team has met Drift and they head back to Mount Justice to talk more safely. Robin sort of threatens Drift, with the others telling him to back off. Bludgeon shows back up and beating the team down, and fending off Bumblebee, Arcee, and Drift. Also, Bludgeon casually reveals Drift's former name to the team. Robin gets scolded by the bots, moreso Bishop than the most.
