It was quite ironic that after over a century of hesitation, it was the return and a direct encounter with an ancient evil that finally convinced Diana Prince, the princess of Themyscira to return home. But she knew it had to be done, Darkseid is simply far too great a threat to be overly prepared for, the fact that he managed to get the body of the dead monster only added to his threat level. Therefore, recruiting her Amazon mother and sisters, some of which have participated in the Defiance is the logical choice.

Despite this, as she rows the boat alone, the fear of the unknown gripped at her. It has been over a century since she last spoke with them where she, full of righteous eagerness combined with utter naivety, accompanied the first man she ever met to Man's World, during the First World War.

While it is true that she managed to kill Ares, avenging the gods, she was confronted with the very reality that completely shattered her worldview. Ares did not start the war, but merely stoked the already existing human greed and ambition that was looking for the perfect spark.

The result, she lost her innocence and the man she loved, and while things were better for a time. The Second World War and the ordeal with the Dreamstone crushed whatever hopes of Ares being wrong about humanity.

Returning now is simply an act of shamelessness, she who ignored her mother's warnings and left her and her sisters, all but stolen the armor, lasso and the now destroyed 'god killer' sword now has the utter gall to return to them asking for help?

However, as all these thoughts raced in her mind, she never turned the boat back. It's not just asking for their help against Darkseid, Steppenwolf having the Motherbox kept in Themyscira means that he attacked her home and likely caused harm to her family, estranged as they are now.

It was her childhood tutor Mnemosyne who happened to be at the beach when her boat arrived after a day's journey.

"Diana?"

"Yes, I'm back."

Her tutor simply turned and ran away. At this, insecurity gripped her again. If this is her reaction, what of her sisters? How will her own mother react? Her fears increased when she saw her sisters in the training grounds all stop and look at her, dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

"I'm...back, my sisters." Diana lightly said, averting her eyes in shame.

She was quite surprised as the shouts of 'DIANA!' as most of them collided into her and cry while some of them rushed to the palace where her mother would most likely be. Moments later her sisters stepped aside to make way for her mother, the queen.

"Mother, I'm so so-"

Queen Hippolyta interrupted her apology with a tearful hug while screaming about how worried she was all those years. Realizing that all her fears of condemnation was only from herself, she also broke down crying in her mother's arms.

They did not do any more training that day, opting to celebrate the return of one of their own. However, now, a day later, at Diana's request, she stood before her fellow Amazons to give her report of recent events.

"Diana, I must ask, is all of this true? Has Darkseid truly returned?"

"Yes mother, he returned, not only that, an alliance, similar to the Defiance has also formed to fight him and have even thwarted a recent attack from him."

This sent the crowd into a sea of back and forth discussion.

"I normally trust your words, my daughter, but I am hesitant this time. It took many moons to gather the alliance last time and even then, Zeus and Ares had to work together to land the decisive blow on Darkseid himself. How can such an alliance be replicated so quickly this time? Where did such beings of great might come from?"

"Mother, perhaps that was the last blessing from the gods. In Man's World now lives a protector that came from the stars, capable of flight and wielding enough strength to move mountains by hand, he was instrumental in the defeat of Steppenwolf, who attacked Themyscira for the Motherbox..."

The back and forth discussion intensified, to the point that Hippolyta had to raise her hand to silence them.

"There is also another group, called 'hololive' that arrived from another world similar to Man's World, they claim to be entertainers but not only displayed great combat capability when Darkseid attacked but were the ones to repel him. With the help from this group, there is a forming alliance with the Atlanteans led by a new king."

The crowd was oddly silent this time, as if they have all decided on something but was hoping that someone else say it instead.

"We would like to join the alliance Diana, but this time, things are different. We are not the great army back in the Defiance, our numbers have greatly dwindled after our enslavement and hiding from Ares. Steppenwolf's attack have also caused much losses to us as well. The best we can do is allowing them use the training grounds, if they ever need them."

There was no need for any verbal protest, Diana saw for herself the state of Themyscira when she arrived, and she knew that as shameful as it is to admit it, they are in no state to make any significant contribution to the battle this time.

"Thank you mother, I will be sending them a message."

"But not now, my daughter just returned. You must stay for some more days before leaving. We've missed you so much."

Diana, while happy, hoped that nothing much happens while she is away.


Hololive had a decent stream of revenue when they regained some of the partnership deals with Wayne Enterprise, however one thing they did not anticipate was just how expensive things have become after the fight with Darkseid. YAGOO still remember the time where Miko, Suisei, Pekora and Kiara went to the store to buy supplies and to their complete shock find out that bottled water, with a cucumber stick in it for flavor already cost 6 bucks.

But it was to be expected, the cost of the rebuilding took a huge chunk of the city's budget, which then led to tax hikes, this snowballed into higher utility bills, rent and even greater price gouging. Or it may just be the rich and wealthy using the extensive property damage to justify the price hike to make greater profits. Therefore, the revenue was once again, just enough to cover the bills.

Yet a different encounter would bail them out of their financial issues.

It started with Gura, Aqua and Shion happily chatting before a hooded figure approached them with a crossbow.

"Uh, hi?" Gura said as Aqua hid behind her.

"Are you hololive?"

"Yes we are, who are you?"

"They call me..."

"Crossbow girl?"

"WHAT!? NO!"

"You are that recent crossbow killer right?"

"Yes, but that is not what they call me!"

"Uhhhh...It IS what they call you, how about you just tell us what you call yourself instead?"

"Huntress." The woman replied, rather flustered and embarrassed.

"Okay, so what do you want?" Gura asked.

"Revenge."

"Ooooooookaaay? Is that us?"

"No."

"Then why are you making such a scary face while holding a freakin crossbow!?"

"I mean I want your help in getting someone for me."

"Uh huh, we're not doing it for free though. What is your offer?"

"Take me to your boss, I'll explain things there."

It was a five minute walk back to the hololive office building. There Huntress explained her situation, her name is Helena Bertinelli and her family was slaughtered by a group of people who conspired together to steal the Bertinelli family fortune. The money is stored in special bank accounts which were hidden in the family diamond. She has already killed all but one of the culprits, Victor Zsasz who also happen to have the family diamond.

He was the most troublesome one as he is currently working for Roman Sionis, who built a criminal empire that rivals the Waynes in wealth and connections, therefore she can't reach him alone.

Hence she request hololive to get Victor and recover the diamond for her. In return, they can have the diamond once she extract the account details.

While the reward was tempting, especially since it only involves capturing a human and getting a diamond. Hololive was not so sure about how to approach this, they are known public figures so a guns blazing approach on someone who they have not witnessed committing a crime will cause needless negative publicity, especially when one of the most influential groups in the city is involved.

Therefore Amelia, eager to use her detective skills, volunteered to get more information. Hence she, with Calli as backup, don their party dresses and headed to Black Mask Club, a nightclub owned by Roman himself. Inside was what one would expect from a high class club, extravagant furniture and decorations everywhere, men in suits drinking with and groping hostess girls, women sitting together and chatting.

"There he is." Calli said to a man talking to an older Asian gentleman, with another man standing nearby. They listened while holding a drink that was served to them by a random host, something about merging their business which ultimately fell apart, resulting in the man giving his partner a smile that clearly conveyed a malicious message.

"Guess the guy in the suit is Roman and the guy with the scars is Victor."

"You got the video?"

"Yup. On top of that, they pretty much put everything we need to know on the internet. So much for my detective work..."

"Not only that, the guy with the scars kept the diamond in his pocket. Wow."

Somewhat dejected at the ease of obtaining information, Amelia and Calli left the place.


Roman and Victor were laughing as they returned to their penthouse, this would normally look like a casual conversation, if not for the three skinned faces that Victor still hold, and their discussion being about the Chinese family that had their faces skinned for refusing to merge their business with Roman's.

As the two men sat on the bed facing the window, Roman spotted a dark figure with glowing red eyes staring straight at them, causing him to jump and yelp in fright, accidently slapping Victor in the face.

"Ow!"

Roman ignored his partner's pained sound and rushed to the window, opening it and look around and saw nothing.

"Did you see that?"

"See what?"

"Some thing with red eyes!"

"You sure you're not seeing things? You did drink a lot."

At Roman turned to close the window, only to see the same pair of red eyes literally inches away from him.

"WAAAAAAAAH!" Roman screamed as he scrambled backwards.

"I SAW IT! THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE!" Roman screamed as he clung onto Victor.

"Boss, chill, you-"

The lights suddenly turning off interrupted Victor from trying to calm Roman down.

"Woah, okay..." Victor said as he looked around, seeing that the window was still open he went to close it. However, when he reached the window, he was greeted by the same red eyed phantom gliding across his line of sight, gaze fixated on him the whole time.

"WOAH! Okay, boss lets go to the other ro-"

He did not finish that sentence as he saw the same phantom again, peering out of the room he was about to bring Roman in, the phantom quickly retreated into the room and door shut itself due to an invisible force.

"Okay, we're outta here!" Victor said as he dragged Roman up and they both opened the entrance door and ran across the corridor in a panic. As they get closer to the elevator that just took them here, both of them looked back, just to see the phantom seemingly flow across the ceiling towards them, igniting a chorus of terrified screaming from them as they scrambled to the elevator.

Furiously pressing the close button, the elevator door managed to close on the phantom's face. The two men sighed in relief as the elevator descend, until it suddenly stopped mid floor so hard that they slammed face first into the doors.

Getting up, Victor frantically pressed any button, hoping to get it moving again. That was when a hand punched through the elevator ceiling, grabbed and dangled a screaming Roman by his hair. Panicking, Victor pulled his gun and fired at the hand, rendering both him and Roman deaf as the bullets seem to phase through the hand while keeping Roman still dangled.

When the gun was spent, Victor took out his knife to try to cut the hand, only for it to release Roman and retreat up the elevator ceiling before the elevator plunged into a freefall, throwing both of them into the walls and doors when it went to a sudden stop.

Now in a complete panic, Roman and Victor frantically pressed the open button, running into a T-section of corridor before something passed across their sight, so fast that they would have missed it if they blinked. They turned to the left, the opposite direction from whatever passed them seconds ago...only for a crossbow bolt to nail both of them. One on Roman's thigh and the other into Victor's left eye.

As Roman stumble around, whimpering in pain and Victor scream from the pain, Huntress approached Victor, grabbed the bolt in Victor's eye and rammed it into his remaining eye before reaching into his pocket and retrieved the diamond.

With the diamond safely in hand, she seized Victor by the neck before leaning to his ear.

"I did plan to kill you for what you did to my family, but it seems that the underlings of the crime boss that you just skinned want some payback themselves. Good luck~!" Huntress said cheerfully as she gestured to twenty large men armed with crowbars and lead pipes.

The screams of terror and agony, mixed with the sounds of a vicious beating was music to Huntress's ears as she left the building.

"Wait!" Huntress stopped and turned towards the voice, there stood a woman who look like a singer in a host club.

"What do you want?"

"You just killed my boss!"

"Okay. One, I did not, the Golden Lions gang did that. Two, he deserved it."

"Fair enough, but still he was the guy giving me the paychecks! I got no job now!"

"Sucks, there are other host clubs. You can join one of them, heard you sing well."

"That's it!? You just cut off my paycheck and leave into the fuckin night!?"

"What can you do about it?"

"This." With that, the woman threw and landed a quick left hook at Huntress, who slipped to her left and countered with a kick to the woman's side before landing an overhand, sending the woman stumbling.

"Okay, crossbow girl's better than I thought." The woman said as she wiped some of the blood off her lip before charging again, moving her head away from a right cross, she slammed her knee into Huntress's stomach, doubling her over and causing her to drop her diamond. Huntress tackled her to the ground and successfully secured a mount...for about two seconds before the woman managed to unbalance her and throw her off.

As they both get back up, Huntress patted her pocket, only now realizing that the diamond is gone. But before she can panic, a hand held the diamond in front of her.

"Oh, than-WOAH!" Huntress yelped as she jumped back from the black figure with the red glowing eyes.

"What the fuck is that!?" The woman also squawked in surprise when the figure turned to look at her.

"Uh, you can take it off now." Huntress said as she took the diamond and put it in her pocket.

With that, the figure took off his mask, revealing to be YAGOO underneath.

"HUH!? Isn't he that Asian Superman!? Why is he with you!?" The woman shouted in panic, now knowing that she attacked someone with such connections.

"I made a deal with him."

"Finalized with what, a dicking!?"

"WHAT!? NO!"

"Then how did you get his favor!?"

"I said I made a deal with him! And it does NOT involve that you skank!"

"WHO YOU CALLIN A SKANK!?"

With that, the two women went for round two. YAGOO picked up that diamond that Huntress dropped in the scuffle again.


"Ohhh...The deal involves that diamond." The woman said as she ice compressed her swollen jaw as both her and Huntress rest in the hololive building.

"Yes, once I extract the bank details out of it, they get to pawn it away for some cash. And I can give you some of my family money until you get a new job." Huntress replied as she do ice compression on her swollen left eye.

"Dinah Lance, Black Canary."

"Helena Bertinelli, they call me..."

"Crossbow killer."

"NO! WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THAT!?"

"That is what they call you."

"IT'S HUNTRESS!"

"Surrrrrreee..."

As Helena snarl at Dinah who just responded with laughter and further teasing. YAGOO looked out the window, at the rooftop where the Batman was looking at him.

At the rooftop, Bruce Wayne, currently on his duty as the self-appointed protector of Gotham among other self appointed protectors locked eyes with Mr Tanigo before zipping away out of his sight. He is fully aware of the antics that led to Roman's death and it was what put him on edge. Disguising himself as a phantom entity, employing fear tactics to get his targets to where he want them to be and dispatch the target, all of that is basically his own MO. The contrast being the fact that he needs careful planning, a good sense of the environment, a well trained body and equipment developed after millions of dollars worth of testing. But Mr Tanigo can simply do all that with a simple black colored costume and his own god-like power.

Not just that, he even managed to do such a thing without even leaving much indication that he was involved. It will be difficult to identify the phantom as him, forensic study of Roman's and Victor's corpses will most likely result in a report of them being intoxicated and stumbling into a rival gang that killed them, and Dinah Lance's witness testimony, assuming that she is even willing to make the testimony, will most likely be dismissed as hearsay.

Lastly, even if someone were to have the monumental stupidity of forcing the case through, finding a competent prosecutor will be near impossible and he can safely assume that Helena will be more than happy to use her family fortune to hire the best possible defense attorney to make sure that he gets away scott free.

All of that, without even considering his ability to go toe to toe with an entity that took out the Justice League by himself and leading a group that can, at the very least, match the Justice League, if not outright crush them.

At this point he shook his head to clear his thoughts. He is not that person anymore, the one that made an attempt on Superman's life out of sheer paranoia. The fact that hololive, having more than enough power to conquer the world in minutes yet helped to defend the world should be enough to consider them an ally. Or at least give them the benefit of the doubt.

Yet, he felt the need to suppress that side of him.


Ever since hololive entered the picture, Gotham City has experienced great power shifts. The first being a still ongoing crusade against criminals that escaped legal justice as well as the law enforcement personnel that aided them. The second one is the dispute in regards to Roman's wealth, initially the Golden Lions wanted to hog all of it, claiming that since they had killed Roman, they have a right to it.

A claim that was quickly put down in court, and since the Golden Lions openly confessed to killing one of the most influential men in Gotham they now had more enemies than before. It still somewhat worked in their favor as Roman's enemies start to approach them for business deals.

The actual dispute is from within Roman's business empire. Roman's death did not cause a complete collapse of the group, but did cause an internal conflict as to who should take over. As expected of members under a mob boss, once the boss is gone the underlings now fight for the chance to be the new boss. This internal conflict did convince some of the investors to distance themselves from the mess and invest somewhere else. As a result, Wayne Enterprise got another hefty boost in influence along with other groups claiming a portion as well.

On a side note, once Dinah Lance found out that she still had her job as a club singer despite Roman's death and that she ultimately got into a fight with Helena for nothing, she was predictably embarrassed, even more so when Helena jumped at the chance to tease her.

With hololive's expenses covered for the time being again, this group of ido-comedians returned to preparation for the expected second invasion. Gura, Ina and IRyS began to discuss some type of combination using a bathtub's amount of water and some fragments of kryptonite. Kiara was sparring with Noel, mace and sword clashing across the cleared out meeting room.

Subaru, Matsuri, Lamy, Nene, Aqua, Polka, Miko, Haato and Suisei are all playing tag with Mio, Fubuki and Ayame. It was for the express purpose of improving their stamina and agility so that La+ can further enhance them when the time comes.

"Just a little more!" Mio said as she once again skipped just out of Lamy's reach before jumping over Polka's tackle.

"Gotcha!" Nene said as she swiped at Mio's back.

"Almost!" Mio replied as she skipped out of Nene's reach again.

"Hold still!" Lamy yelled as she leapt over Polka, only to trip over the clown's suddenly raised shoulder as she tried to get back up and land on her face.

"Are you two okay?" Nene asked as she tap on Lamy's head.

"GET BACK HERE!" Lamy screamed as she leapt onto her feet and resumed her chase.


"Fuuuuubuuuuu-Chaaaaaan!" Suisei chirped in an eerie tone as she chases after Fubuki.

"Why am I the one to deal with Sui-chan!?" The fox girl screamed as she ran.

"Okay! With Sui-chan chasing Fubu-chan, let's flank her!" Miko ordered.

"Shut it Mikochi! You're not even running! I'll pour lava onto your minecraft house if you don't help!" Suisei yelled from across the room.

"DON'T YOU DARE!" Miko screamed as she took off towards Fubuki at an angle that formed a pincer attack with Suisei.

"Gotcha now!" Suisei exclaimed as Fubuki made a sudden stop as Miko barreled towards her, only for her to jump to the side, causing the MiComet duo to crash into each other face first. Matsuri, who was trailing behind Suisei could not help but stop and laugh at the two girls nursing comically large welts on their foreheads.


"GOTCHA!" Subaru exclaimed in triumph as she managed to pull a fast one on Ayame, who until then was just out of her reach by pouncing on the oni girl mid skip and get her in a bear hug. Only then does she stop to take in large gulps of air alongside Haato, who was looking at a passed out Aqua on the floor next to her.

"Great! You got me!" Ayame said, proud that her group had success. Though it would be short lived when she saw Haato reach into her blouse pocket with an evil grin on her face.

"Heheheh...Ayame-chan, don't think this is over like this!" Subaru said as she held on, an ear to ear grin on her face.

"Eh?" Ayame squeaked in confusion and terror before Haato took out the object in her pocket. A cooked Goliath Birdeater.

"KYAAAAAAAAA!" Ayame shrieked as she struggled against Subaru's bear hug trying to get away.

"I know that you hate spiders Ayame-chan! And we wi-BUUUUH!" Subaru was interrupted with an elbow to the stomach by a frantic Ayame who used the chance to break free and swipe the cooked tarantula into Haato's face, sending her into a screaming and panicking fit as she ran off again.


"Botan-chan! Cover me!"

"Huun!"

"Nice! Korone-sempai!"

"Orayo!"

"Okay! Okayu-sempai!

"Sure..."

Okayu, Korone, Botan and Pekora are rehearsing attack formations in a neighboring room with some of the spent plasma rifles they snuck away from the initial invasion. Focusing on maintaining a steady rate of fire to cover for the front line. Starting with Pekora, then Botan covering for her while she quickly dash for the closest weapon. After that Korone will cover for Botan as she make a break for Pekora's position before both her and Okayu will move to Pekora and Botan's position while being covered by the two in front.

"Nice work!"

"As much as it helps, what if we could not get to any more guns and all our guns ran out?" Botan asked as they took a break. Pekora and Korone both looked away sheepishly while Okayu maintained her sleepy expression.

"Guess we won't be of much help then..." Botan finished, sounding a little down.

"Maybe I can help?" AkiRose said as she headed towards them. Without any prompting her levitating twin-tails zipped to two plasma rifles on the floor. The four looked on in amazement as AkiRose's hair wrapped around the guns before it did what can only be described as a backflip, resulting in the hair throwing the rifles back to them.

"Nice one AkiRose-sempai!"

"Yes this really helpful!"

With AkiRose a part of the team, they returned to rehearsing their formation and began to test new strategies involving covering each other and having the space elf retrieve new weapons for them.


"Welcome to Themyscira, men." Hippolyta said in a formal tone as the Justice League arrived with YAGOO and La+ tagging along.

"Thank you for letting us here." Superman replies as he and the rest bowed in respect.

"Diana has told us about what your battle with Darkseid, our common enemy. We are willing to provide our training grounds to help in your preparation should he strike again as Diana predicted. Regrettably, we have suffered very heavy losses recently and so are unable to help directly." Hippolyta said, now with a somber tone.

"I am aware of that, which is why I have bought her along." YAGOO said as he gestured to La+, who has her hands on her hips and smugly grinning and puffing her chest out.

"To put things simply, she is able to enhance your abilities far beyond your normal limits. Perhaps with her help, your worries may be settled." Diana finished.

The Amazons looked very confused at the statement, more so as the look at the horned and strangely dressed little girl.

"I...Don't understand, but regardless, the training grounds are available for use."

"It looks rather small." Cyborg said as he looked at the area, who quickly retreated behind Diana from some of the offended stares from the Amazons.

"Best way to train our control. We will most likely fight Darkseid in city streets, if we cannot handle training here then how are we to protect the people there?" Superman retorted. At that, the tension clearly eased, but there are still some unpleasant looks from the Amazons.

"Alright, we will be taking the roles as planned. Let's get to formation." YAGOO said before he took off into the sky in front of all of them.

"What!? That man can fly?" One of the Amazons exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, and he will be taking the role of a monster that Darkseid currently have." Diana replied before readying her sword and shield. The Amazon looked at her for a moment before looking back at the Justice league, catching only a glimpse of a short lightning bolt headed towards Batman before Superman suddenly moved with incredible speed towards the same direction. The next thing she heard after thrown off balance by a sudden gust of wind, seemingly from a powerful impact was a loud crash as something rammed through a nearby hill, tearing a portion of it clean off.

"Good start, let's try this again." YAGOO said as he stood up, shrugging off several dozen tons of boulders as if they weigh as much as a feather. Before the Amazon can even offer a comment, YAGOO sped towards Cyborg before he was suddenly moved away by Flash, seeing that his intended target was gone and another defender coming at him, YAGOO dodged Superman's deflection maneuver before his leg was grabbed by Superman, leaving him stationary enough for Diana to land a slash at his chest. YAGOO countered with his heat vision to her bicep, the sudden pain causing her to flinch and drop her sword. It was enough time for YAGOO to dash forward, dragging Superman, who was still holding on to him several dozen feet across the training grounds.

Taking the microsecond chance where Superman was regaining his balance, YAGOO fired a kick at Superman's face only for Flash to intervene, deflecting YAGOO's foot up just a few inches, enough to miss Superman's head by a hair. Despite this, the shockwave from this missed kick still felt like a grenade just went off in point blank range, throwing Flash off balance and stunning Superman long enough for YAGOO to successfully land a kick to the stomach. Now that YAGOO is free, he landed a powerful hook on Superman's jaw, launching him towards some trees.

'Good job Flash' YAGOO said inwardly as he see the speedster catch Superman and set him on the ground again, preventing any environmental damage. This lapse of concentration allowed Batman to distract with a flashbang and Diana to slash him on the back. YAGOO immediately countered with a back kick but Diana deflected his foot upwards with her shield, sending him off balance before slashing at his chest. YAGOO immediately put his other foot on Diana's sword hand, at the wrist before kicking her away. The League was not done however, as Cyborg distracted him with a blast of his plasma cannon before Superman crashes into him, sending both of them towards Diana who was preparing to stab him with her sword.

Digging deeper into his reserves, YAGOO sped up towards Diana, completely throwing off her timing and crashing into her stomach head first. YAGOO then grabbed her leg while she was in mid air and bats Superman away with her body before Cyborg managed to distract him with a plasma blast and Batman further distracting him with a flashbang. Seizing the chance, Diana landed a good slash on YAGOO's chest while Superman held him, YAGOO managed to kick Diana away again only for Flash to point a stick at YAGOO's chest, simulating a successful and decisive strike with the Kryptonite spear.

They only noticed the dumbfounded looks on the Amazon's faces as they wind down. As the Justice League explain to the Amazon about what had happened, YAGOO realized too late that he did not pack replacement clothes for his torn shirt and pants.

The snickering and giggling from the Amazons, Diana and La+ included and the sympathetic looks from the rest when YAGOO was forced to wear Amazon attire for the rest of training made it worse. Though the Justice League would notice that YAGOO was a much fiercer opponent after that.


"This is quite the proposal here, a bit too dangerous even for us."

"We allow you to operate here despite being in our terrorist records."

"Even so, this is still a very big risk to take."

"My previous point still stands."

"Do you have any plans or data that we can make full use of? I am more than willing to risk going against NATO than the likes of them with such limited information."

"This."

"Interesting plan, but it seems that we are just a guinea pig for you."

"Your detachment in Khandaq should help in your preparations."

"It seems that you still have not learned anything from your two previous favours... I will see to it, but know this Waller, you are not the only one who can leverage favours, nor are you the only one that is willing to make the difficult and morally questionable decisions."

There was no need for either person in the conversation to clarify anything, they both have been involved in this shady part of government work long enough to understand the meaning behind their words.


Two weeks of training is usually very little time for anyone to learn anything, especially when the 'anything' is formations and strategies to deal with a possibly revived monster that took a Kryptonian, the daughter of a Greek god and a very well trained human who just so happen to have a very specific item tailored to the monster's weakness, to bring down. The fact that they also have to deal with an entity that took the coalition of gods and men to fend off just compounds the problem.

However, determination, conviction with a decent amount of desperation can make up for limited time. In these two weeks the Justice League with YAGOO managed to iron out a solid plan to deal with Doomsday. Focusing on Superman and Diana landing the heavy hits and draw its aggression, Cyborg to distract it when needed with Batman using his specially made lead smoke grenades as a secondary distraction. If Doomsday were to get past the main attackers, Flash will be the last line of defense, moving any target away from danger or deflecting the attack himself if he deems it to be safe enough. The goal is to get Batman to fire his kryptonite laden smoke grenade on Doomsday to weaken it before Flash drives the kryptonite spear into the monster and Diana to finish off the monster with her sword if it is somehow still alive.

When they were now confident in a full team, Superman proposed simulations where certain members of the League were to be incapacitated in the middle of the fight. One that received unanimous agreement. The way it was done was to have the rest of the Amazons, who have been enjoying their enhanced abilities courtesy of La+ to suddenly swarm any of the members and restrain them at completely random intervals. They are however, allowed to evade if they are able to notice them coming.

This, in theory, forces the League to be more aware of their surroundings as they fight. A very important skill to have in the very unforgiving nature of the battlefield.

Yet, there were the expected bad starts. Superman felt it first when YAGOO knocked him to the ground only for him to be pinned by seven amazons who were able to restrain him for a good eight seconds before he broke free. By then YAGOO already had Flash and Batman pinned, simulating a total defeat and reinforcing the fact that fighting at such a level, mere seconds were enough to decide the victor.

"I did not know that the horned girl can make my sisters this strong."

"Indeed, her ability to enhance one's physical ability makes her an excellent support."

"Perhaps with her..."

"We still cannot promise anything Diana."

"I understand, mother."

The second simulated battle went better than the first. This time, Diana was the one restrained by her sisters, however, Superman and Flash adjusted by separating the League and YAGOO. Superman tackled YAGOO at Mach 10 while Flash moved Batman to a safer area and Diana managing to break free from her sisters. They regained their formation right when YAGOO was able to drag both Superman and himself back to Themyscira.

As they repeated the battle simulation. They start to show greater situational awareness, Flash can now move his teammates away from the Amazons before they managed to restrain anyone and the times the Amazons managing to catch one of the League members have reduced.

The Amazons also made improvements in their own tactics and formations as they prepare for the upcoming war with Darkseid, now more willing to fight him directly.


The people of Khandaq have noticed something off with Intergang, the group that have been their latest line of oppressors. Checkpoints are now far more relaxed, the mercenary guards are less aggressive than usual, in fact, there are actually much less Intergang members in the streets.

Ironically, this only made the citizens more wary of them. They know that Intergang won't just suddenly pack up after almost three decades of occupation and the members still seen have been packing even more heat than usual. Some of them were breathing more heavily from the added equipment and they all seem to be looking at the skies a lot more often than before.

Khandaqis knew that this is the calm before the storm, which is likely a huge skirmish right in the middle of the city.

With such thoughts rising, many were seen praying to the statue of their champion, hoping that by some divine miracle he will return to free Khandaq.

And so, an uneasy couple of weeks passed.


It has been a month since hololive resumed their preparations and their own training and they have mixed feelings. While they appreciate the new event, a somewhat welcome break from their streaming schedules, it was ultimately NOT something that they signed up for when they joined hololive.

As such, many were voicing their frustrations towards A-chan and Omega since they were the only ones in managerial positions which were met with placating statements. YAGOO returning to the building looking like he ran through a tornado or wearing Amazon training gear does lighten their mood, yet it was not enough. It got to the point that Aqua and Matsuri got frustrated enough to storm out of the building.

"Huh...That was convenient."

That line from a gruff voice was all they heard before explosions rang outside the building. Next they felt arms covered in tactical gear wrap around their necks.

"HEL-" Matsuri was only able to scream before whoever held her choked her into silence. She only managed to see Kiara deflecting RPGs with her shield and what can only be described as a floating motorbike land beside her before she along with Aqua were stuffed into the motorbike's...trunk.

Both of them heard a splash of water and what seems to be a body crashing into a wall before they were suddenly cramped into one side of the trunk due to a sudden movement.


The Justice League looked on in confusion as YAGOO suddenly paused his attack and looked at the direction of Metropolis and Gotham, putting the training session to a complete halt.

"Explosions rang out in Gotham, right outside the hololive building. Sorry, but I need to attend to this." YAGOO said as he changed his clothes in a split second before taking off into the sky.


Hololive was in shock at the recent development. While they had online attacks before and even after their combat ability was revealed, this was completely different. It was clearly an organized terrorist attack on them specifically. Waiting for members to be in a good position for kidnapping, heavy weapons to pin the combatants in place to facilitate a getaway, it was just too well planned to happen at random.

This means that now there is an organization that is capable of and willing to be a direct threat to hololive, and they have enough information to identify and target some of the less skilled fighters.

However, some of the members were veteran warriors before joining, and that means that they cleared their heads quick enough to fully disarm and restrain the one terrorist member that Gura managed to incapacitate with a blast of water while others began survey the damage done to the building and to get every remaining member accounted for.

With that done, a now very furious hololive turned their attention to the captive terrorist. Who is currently held in a room that was not damaged.

"I'm quite sure you know what we want." Calli said, scythe in hand and glaring at the man.

"Can't unzip my pants with my hands tied up, bitch!" The captive replied, leering. The leering quickly stopped and turned to a whimper when Gura stabbed the floor with her trident, just an inch away from his most important bits.

"If you have time for sex jokes, you have time to give us info. Now, who are you and who do you work for?"

"I-I ain't tellin you jack shit! ARRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!" The man replied, clinging onto some last shred of defiance before screaming as Kiara placed her sword, which was on fire onto his left leg, holding it there for two seconds before removing it off him. The man watched as Kronii then uses her time magic to accelerate the healing, leaving a clearly scarred portion on the limb.

"Feeling a little more willing to say info now?" Gura spoke again as Kiara covered her sword in flames and placed it uncomfortable close to the man's side.

"Fuck you! I'm not telling you monsters anything!" The man replied, somehow finding more defiance in him.

Screams echoed from the room as Gura, Kiara and Kronii continue to torture the man until the sound of police sirens was heard outside the building, and then came the sounds of many boots on solid ground going closer and closer.

"POLICE! HANDS IN THE AIR!" One of the officers yelled as he and his group of heavily armed police officers pointed their guns at hololive.

"Officer! Help! These things captured and burnt me for no reason!" The terrorist screamed, momentarily stunning the three with his ability to lie.

"Yeah, I can tell. Finally shown your true colors eh?" The commander sneered.

"He is-"

"Save your bullshit! Hands behind your back! NOW!" The commander cut off Kiara's attempt to reason with him.

"Or what?" Kronii replied, clearly not intimidated.

"HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK NOW!" The commander bellowed in response and waited for five seconds.

"Ok, drop them!" He ordered his men as they all pull the triggers to their guns. Gura, Kiara and Calli prepared to deflect the bullets. Bae had other ideas as her eyes glowed.

What happened next was a string of mini explosions rang throughout the police, their guns suddenly exploding from what is clearly a catastrophic malfunction. Some of the lucky ones only had damaged equipment from the shrapnel that somehow only flew towards them. Some of the not so lucky ones start screaming from the shrapnel being embedded in their bodies or have badly damaged hands.

YAGOO arrived just to see hololive grouped together and police officers tending to their own injured members.


"Do you have visual confirmation of the target?"

"Yes, I have. He and his group of girls are every bit the loose cannon you said."

"They have caused significant property damage and have injured police officers on duty. I trust you to resolve the matter."

"Aye aye, Waller. Hawkman out."

"Aren't these guys the ones who fought whatever was in those giant airships a few months ago? The fight where we were, you know, NOT involved?"

"That's irrelevant, they may have fought off those invaders, but now they have damaged property and injured police officers."

"Okay, I still have issues with this. One, we will be fighting someone who is as strong as Superman along with girls that can probably kick our asses. Two, it's WALLER. You can't possibly not know that she is doing some shady stuff, like friggin use dangerous criminals to do special forces work. Three, they suddenly decide to damage property and attack police out of nowhere after all those months of being lawful people? Come on, you can't deny something is really fishy here."

"Still irrelevant."

"This is going to go so bad..."


"To summarize, a terrorist group attacked the building, Aqua and Matsuri have been kidnapped and the police arrived very quickly for the first time?" YAGOO said after getting the story from A-chan after the police retreated.

"Yes." The manager girl replied.

"How long has it been since the two were kidnapped?"

"Around fifteen minutes."

YAGOO closed his eyes and focused on their voices...only to adopt an expression of shock and anger.

"I am hearing their voices from multiple locations, whoever is behind this sees it as a field test, specifically for me."

"What should we do?" A-chan asked, with the rest of hololive looking on.

"Whatever the plan is, count us in." Calli said as she continue to glare at the captured terrorist.

"Not all of you. I need people to continue getting information from him as well as defend the building from further attacks. Not only that, we can also assume that the police will be back with better equipment and more aggressive the next time."

"So who will stay?" Calli asked.

"Roboco, Kanata, Towa, Akirose, Botan, Amelia, Calliope and Mumei. These will be whom I will be picking to eliminate or rescue. Please follow me to another room." YAGOO said as he left the room and headed for a room at the end of a corridor. Once he and the selected members are in the room he continued. "I will be scouting the areas where I heard their voices and identify if the area is a trap or if the area contain the two. Then I will bring you to the area where you will then eliminate the enemy. If you find them, say 'Akumatsu' and I will bring all of you back to safety."

They all nodded in confirmation.

"Great. Any questions?"

"Why can't we just discuss the plan there?" Mumei asked.

"He may have hidden listening devices or implants. Any other questions?"

YAGOO took the silence as a 'no'.

"Alright, we will return to the other room."

Once they returned to the room with the other talents. They were treated to a scene of the captive terrorist member, now free of his restraints, kissing Choco's foot while the rest of the talents watched with varying expressions of confusion, excitement and awkwardness.

"Choco-sensei, I take it that you got some information from him?" YAGOO asked after composing himself after a few seconds.

"She stepped in just as Gura, Kronii and I were about to resume torturing him and blew a kiss at him. The next moment he told us all that he knew before doing...well...that." Calli replied in Choco's place.

"He was just so desperate for relief~! It was so easy to charm him because of it~!" Choco said as the man continue to kiss her foot.

"So, what did you find out?"

"He is from Intergang, a terrorist group whose has a station is a place called Khandaq, but have many stations here. However, he was only given orders by some guy called 'Jumbo' to kidnap and bring the two to Khandaq and does not know why."

"That...Makes things easier. But they will most likely expect me so I will need someone as backup.

"I'll go." Calli spoke up. YAGOO nodded and headed for the entrance with the reaper following him.

"I don't remember it bring this dark." Calli said as they reach the entrance.

"This person may be the reason." YAGOO replied as he pointed to a man in a superhero costume, who is also around six stories tall. Beside him was a man in gold gladiator like armor with a hawk motif, another man in a blue suit with gold trimmings and a gold mask and lastly, a young woman in a green suit floating in a mini tornado.

"Two of my employees have been kidnapped, whatever issues you have with us can be settled in a later time. Please do not get in our way." YAGOO announced to them as Gotham citizens back away to a safer distance before pulling their phones out and point their phone camera at the scene.

"We are the Justice Society, we are here to take all of you to custody for property damage and injuring law enforcement officers." The man in the gladiator armor responded.

"I'll take tornado girl." Kiara, who joined YAGOO and Calli said as she readied her sword and shield.

"Let me at blue boy over there!" Bae said as she grin at the masked man.

"I'll rumble with eagle boy." Calli said as she pull her scythe from an unknown space behind her back.

YAGOO then looked at the giant, who despite masking his entire face, still somehow looked hesitant. Like he really does not want to fight.

"Your giant friend here wants to back away, I suggest all of you do the same."

The gladiator simply produced a spiked mace.

"This is your last warning." YAGOO repeated, now with his eyes glowing red.

The rest of the Justice Society got into their fighting stance in response, with the giant visibly sighing before doing the same.

YAGOO made a note in his mind to spare the giant of excessive damage.

Chapter over!

So sorry it took so long to update! Real life issues can be a real writer's block.

See you in the next chapter!
