Pentagram, Happy Hotel

Charlie knocks on one of the doors of the hotel rooms.

"Garfield, are you okay?" She asked and received a groan for an answer. "I know you're upset about your grave being robbed. And you have every right to be. But I'm taking Amaroq to Earth right now, along with that other thing you asked me to do while I'm up there." She said and received another groan as a reply. "Okay, well … We should be back in a few hours. Stay out of trouble while I'm gone, okay?" She said and yet again received a groan for an answer. "Well, see you soon." She said before turning to Amaroq.

"Is he going to be okay?" The hellpup asked.

"He's just going through some issues of his own. He'll get over it." Charlie assured Amaroq. "But right now, let's get you signed up to meet Garfield's old therapist." She said, bringing out a pink crystal. She pointed at a general direction, opening up a portal to Earth.

"Wow! Is that an Asmodean Crystal?" Amaroq asked in amazement.

"Yup. Got it from my Uncle Ozzie on my 18th birthday." Charlie replied. "He acts like he doesn't care. But deep down, he's just a big Teddy bear." She commented, before taking Amaroq's hand. "Ready?" She asked as she took on her human disguise, changing into a dark skinned woman, while keeping her blonde hair, as well as her eyes turning green. Amaroq nodded and they both went through.

In Garfield's room, the shapeshifter was laying in bed, face buried in his pillow, when there was a knock on the door.

"Garfield," Angel said as he entered. "Hey buddy," He said with a grin when he saw Gar on the bed, only to get a groan. "Are ya still mopping about yer body being body-snatched?" The insanely tall sinner asked as he walked over to Garfield's side. "It's been like two hours. When's ya gonna get over it?"

"Cut him some slack, Angie." A woman spoke. "Kid's still only been dead for a like a week."

"Huh?" Garfield said, lifting his head from his pillow to see who the other person was. He was met with a stunning beauty with white skin, with enormous messy hair tied in a pony tail, dressed in 80s stylish attire and most notably, only had one large eye, that had an X in place pupils. "Who're you?" He asked.

"Name's Cherri Bomb. Angie's BFF and your local manic bombing expert." The woman replied.

Garfield looked her over and said, "I like your top." This earned him a chuckle from Cherri.

"I like him already. I can respect a guy who's that brutally honest." Cherri Bomb told Angel.

"She came by to ask me out for some afternoon action." Angel Dust said.

"By that I mean blowing shit up," Cherri Bomb replied, with a crazy grin on her face.

"I thought you could join us. Maybe you blow of some steam. Pun so intended. I know I always feel better whenever I've caused massive collateral damage. You in?" Angel asked.

"I don't think so," Garfield retorted. "Wrecking needless havoc wouldn't go over well for Charlie or Vaggie. Especially Vaggie. Don't forget what the purpose of this hotel is." He scolded.

"Gee, you didn't tell me he was such a cock blocker." Cherri dryly said to Angel.

"He was a superhero when he was alive. What'd you expect?" Angel commented and turned his attention back to Gar. "For the record, we're hitting the Nazi District where all the German veterans from WWII resides."

This peaked Gar's interest.

Nazi District

(Santa Cruz – Drag Me Down, starts playing)

Next thing Garfield knows, he and the destructive duo were walking down the infamous district for the biggest losers humanity has ever known. It had the swastika symbol all over the place, plastered on every building. Every sinner there were dressed in WWII era uniforms, but each one looked more grotesque than the other.

(I've got fire for a heart
I'm not scared of the dark)

Gar, Angel and Cherri entered the district, gansta walk style. When the Nazis saw them, they all gasped in horror. But before any of them could react, Cherri raised a rocket launcher and fired on them, causing a massive explosion. Angel raised his Tommy gun and shot down dozens of Nazis, while Garfield turned into a hellish looking triceratops and rammed through a building over to the other side, with two Nazi sinners stuck on both horns, screaming in agony.

(You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul)

Cherri rushed through the streets, tossing bombs through the windows of every building she passed by, laughing like a maniac. Angel shoved a dynamite stick up a Nazi's ass, before kicking him into a cafe filled with Nazis who were trying to enjoy a good time. Their moment were ruined when their fellow Nazi exploded, splattering his blood, flesh and organs all over the place. This gory carnage was followed up by three sticks of dynamites being tossed into the building, blowing the rest up.

(And baby, you're a boat
Baby, you're my only reason)

The Nazi tried fighting back, as three panzertracks rolled into the streets, firing upon Angel and Cherri, who took cover behind some destroyed concrete. But those panzertracks were swiftly knocked over a green demonic T-Rex.

(If I didn't have you there would be nothing left
A shell of a man who could never be his best)

Garfield roared at the fleeing Nazis, chasing them down, biting anyone he caught up with into pieces. Angel and Cherri laughed hysterically at the carnage. Angel Dust brought out a flamethrower and invaded an apartment building. Next you know, every floor bursts into flame, one at a time, as Angel advanced to each level.

(If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun
You taught me how to be someone, yeah)

Cherri was now ridding on T-Rex Garfield's back, wielding two grenade launcher that she shot madly at her left and right, while Garfield barge through a panzer division.

(All my life
You stood by me)

Angel leaped from the roof of one of the building the two passed by and landed on Garfield's back.

(When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights)

Angel brought out a pair of uzis and shot at every direction, hitting any Nazi who was fleeing.

(They can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down)

By now, the trio had gotten every Nazi in the district. Garfield had taken two female Nazis, tied their undies together and hung them up a lamppost. Cherri and Angel gave him a dual high five for that.

(All my life
You stood by me)

Cherri shot at a swastika flag that was plastered in a wall, forming a hand giving the finger.

(When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights)

Angel shot another flag on the wall, forming the Star of David.

(They can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down (hey)

Next thing the trio did, they gathered up ever Mein Kampf book they could find, pilled it on, doused it with gasoline then lit it on fire.

(Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down (hey)

The wounded Nazi sinners could do nothing more than just watch in frustration as the trio defiled their legacy.

(Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down)

"YEAH!" Garfield cried out, cheerfully, while holding a swastika flag over the bonfire, liting it up, then waved it around.

Earth, Star City

"Wow," Amaroq said, looking up to the sky. "So it's true? The sky on Earth is blue. That's weird." She commented.

"Yeah, well every sky in every ring of Hell has a different color." Charlie replied, then lead her into the office building. "This way, Amaroq."

When they got inside and went down the hallway, they found the door to Dinah Lance's office opening and a superhero stepping out of said office, with Dinah behind him.

"Thanks again, Dinah." Said the superhero Hourman. "I feel much better, really."

"Anytime, Rick. And don't hesitate to come see me whenever you need to." Dinah kindly told him. As Damage left, he just casually walked past Charlie and Amaroq, seemingly not at all bothered by Amaroq's unusual appearance. "Hello. Can I help you?" Dinah asked the two.

"Yes. My name is Charlie Morningstar. We talked on the phone." Charlie spoke.

"Oh yes," Dinah said and looked down at Amaroq. "You must be Amaroq then. Pleased to see you." She said, giving the hellhound girl the sweetest smile. "Why won't you step into my office then." She offered to let them step in.

Markovia, unknown location

"Can you hear me?" Raven asked Sideways as she held her glowing hands to his ears.

"A lot better," Sideways replied. "But I can only hear muffled sounds from everyone else around us."

The heroes had escaped to another rebel base somewhere in Markovia. They were in what looked like an old subway station. It was dirty and looked like it hasn't been used in decades. Around them were crates and makeshift beds along with rebels and the other heroes.

"Well, I put a magic spell on your eardrums, just like with Brion. That'll fix up the rest. Your hearing should be fully restored in a day." She assured and the two went over to the other heroes.

"So the knife had a tracking device, huh?" Brion commented as Nightwing held up the weapon that had previously been lodge in his side.

"Yeah. But Cyborg has taken care of it." Nightwing assured. "I'm keeping it. Like I said before, this is a very specially crafted knife. Shame to let it go to waste." He said before putting it away.

"How are we looking?" Raven asked.

"About a dozen of our own are injured. But nothing critical. Except for three patrol troops, we've had no casualties." Brion said and gave Sideways a smile. "You really saved us back there, Sideways. You can be proud."

"Crowd? What crowd?" Sideways asked with a confused look. But then chuckled. "I heard what he said. But I couldn't resist."

"You should've meet Beast Boy. His sense of humor was as bad as yours." Raven said, making everyone laugh and Sideways gave a dirty look.

"Okay, focus everyone." Brion told the group. "We still have a country to liberate. Cyborg, how's finding my oh so loving father doing?"

"I've hacked every security system in the country. I have even tracked every mobile phone of every person in Markovia. Nothing." Cyborg said in frustration.

"Viktor probably has a secured phone. So it can't be traced." Tara deduced. "As for the security cameras, he no doubt counted on them being hacked and had them modified."

"Damn Wayne Enterprises." One of the rebel leaders cursed. "They make nothing but the best stuff. And it's a real pain for us."

"Wait, what?" Nightwing said with a curious look. "Did you say … Wayne Enterprises?"

"Yeah. Viktor have purchases his security equipment from Bruce Wayne for a month now. They are the number one in the world when it comes to security manufacturing after all." Brion replied.

Nightwing had a long stare on his face, which didn't go unnoticed by everyone.

"Bro, you again?" Cyborg asked.

"Excuse me," Nightwing said, leaving everyone as he rushed down the abandoned railway tunnel. They all looked very confused. All except Raven.

"Don't worry, you guys." She told them. "Our job is about to become a whole lot easier. I know what's on his mind."

/

Nightwing was now at a tunnel entrance which lead into the subway. Outside was nothing but forest that was slowly consuming an old abandoned village. The former Boy Wonder was making a quick phone call.

"I cannot believe I'm doing this," He said with a groan.

Gotham

Batman was currently in the middle of a fight against a group of bank robbers when he heard someone speaking on the head piece in his mask.

"Batman, you got a call." Said a female voice.

"I'm a little busy right now," Batman retorted, tossing a batarang, knocking the guns of off a few of the robbers.

"It's Dick," Said the woman on the other line.

"… Patch him through." Batman said as he had a robber in an arm lock, spun around and made the thug go head first into the stomach of another robber, knocking the air out of him.

"Bruce?" Nightwing said on the other line.

"I'm in uniform, Nightwing." Batman told him, round house kicking a thug across the face.

"Sorry. So you've heard about my new alter ego?" Nightwing spoke.

"I've noticed," Batman commented, before back punching another robber, sending him into a bank desk. "What has you calling me after so long?"

"Straight to the point, like always," Nightwing said, sounding almost disappointed. "Well, to be blunt, I'm in Markovia helping the rebels overthrowing King Markov."

"That's a dangerous gamble," Batman scolded, sucker punching a thug. "You and your team could be labeled criminals for getting involved in foreign affairs."

"We'll be in the cleared if we help Brion take the throne." Nightwing assured. "But that's not what I wanted to bring up."

"You heard Wayne Enterprises has been supplying the kind with their security equipment," Batman finished for Nightwing, elbowing another robber in the face, breaking his nose.

"You catch on really quickly," Nightwing dryly said. "So what's the deal about your deal with a dictator?"

"If you must know," Batman started, as he kicked the last robber in the chin, knocking him out, "you'll have to wait a minute. There're too many ears here right now. I'll be back in a moment." Five minutes later, as the cops were taking away the robbers, Batman was standing on a rooftop overseeing the process. "So about those security equipment, the League has been suspicious of King Markov's metahuman activities for some time now. Those security camera's were provided by me to keep taps on him."

"So you've known what they've been up to? You got fucking evidence on Viktor? And you haven't exposed him yet?!" Nightwing cried out in disbelief.

"The problem with that was that Viktor is a king with diplomatic immunity. Even if we did expose him, there was no way we could extradite him. As long as he stays in Markovia, where he is king, he is safe. And if I expose him, he will know that it was Wayne Enterprises who got the evidence and so would everyone else I have provided the same security cameras with." Batman explained.

"Markovia isn't the only country you're spying on." Nightwing realized.

"You'd be amazed at just how many corrupt people has purchased my security equipment," Batman commented. "These past few months have seen so many of the worst of humanity be brought to justice as a result. Markovia has just been one of those cases where we needed to wait for an opportunity to strike. Looks like you've given us that opportunity."

"Nicely done, Nightwing." Said the woman.

"I got other matters to attend to. Oracle will help you with the rest, Nightwing. Good luck," Batman said and broke communication.

/

Unknown location

"Not even a moment to spare for at least some small talk," Said a red haired woman with emerald eyes. She was in a room with several computer screens around her desk. She had three keyboards spread around her and a coffee mug with the words 'Daddy's Girl' written on it.

"Yeah. But he's right. Business before pleasure and all." Nightwing replied. "Oracle was it, huh?"

The young woman smiled and said, "Yeah. You're not the only one who's got a new title. I also got a new job. I hack things, which isn't a problem when those things are Wayne tech."

/

Markovia

"That'll help us a lot," Nigthwing commented as he rushed back inside. "You should get in contact with Cyborg. He has already tried hacking into the Markovian security system."

"Well, that just makes us proud knowing that not even the mighty Cyborg could break our security network." Oracle said with pride.

Once he was back inside the base, he went straight over the table where they were making their battle plans.

"Where have you been?" Tara asked.

"Making a few phone calls." Nightwing said and put his phone on the table. "Oracle, you're on loudspeakers. My team and the Markovian rebels are listening."

"Hello. I am called Oracle. But you might all have known me as Batgirl."

"Oh yeah. I heard you disappeared of off the face of the Earth. Many said you were dead." Tara said.

"Not yet," Oracle replied. "Anyways, without giving away too much, I have access to Wayne Enterprises tech. Which includes their security cameras they provide their buyers. I can easily hack into any camera owned by Wayne Enterprises."

"Really?" Cyborg spoke. "That's great. Think you can upload that to my systems?"

"Sure. Just connect your system to Nightwing's phone and I'll set up a link to my computer." Oracle instructed.

"Just a sec," Cyborg said as his robotic eye glowed. "I'm connecting to your phone, wirelessly, Nightwing."

"Just don't invade my personal stuff," Nightwing told him.

"Oh I won't." Cyborg assured and then grinned. "Oh, look at all the bird porn on Nightwing's phone."

"Vic!" Nightwing growled.

"Just kidding," Cyborg replied, giving a chuckle.

"Okay, we are now connected to every security camera owned by Wayne Enterprises in Markovia." Oracle said.

"Just gotta do a quick search for anyone resembling the good king," Cyborg said as on his computer screen inside his head, many dozens of different video screens were flashing by to find Viktor.

"If you guys could upload the images on this laptop so we can all, that be really good and well." Brion said, putting a laptop on the table, unfolding it.

"You got it," Cyborg replied. "And just in time too. We found daddy Markov … And he's all mad."

Unknown location in Markovia

"I asked the Light to provide me with help to rid me of the pest plaguing my country! But you couldn't even rid me of a bunch of ill-equiped disorganized rebels!" Markov shouted at the group of villains before him. They were all bruised up like the heroes. But unlike the heroes, they looked defeated. Of course, the king's screaming started to turn their expressions into annoyance and anger. "Pathetic, useless, good for nothing-ack!"

Viktor gasped when Grodd grabbed his throat. The guards in the room raised their guns, but Devastation shot them a glare.

"Go ahead!" She dared them. "See what happens." The guards slowly lowered their guns.

"Watch your tongue, your majesty." Grodd warned him. "We need you. But be careful."

"Unhand me!" Viktor demanded, gasping for air.

"Okay," Grodd replied and tossed him back onto his chair. "I think you've gotten a bit cocky. The Light needs the metas you provide us, for sure. But that doesn't make you irreplaceable. We can get one of our shapeshifters to pose as you. The only reason we haven't already is because we have so few of them and would rather use them sparingly, if we can. But don't push your luck." He hissed at Viktor, who nodded in fear.

"So what happens now?" Snowflame asked. "The rebels got away with the stoner brats. The heroes beat us to the curve. And we have no way of tracing them now."

"All in due time," Grodd replied. "They will eventually make their move. After all, they're fighting to liberate the country. They won't stay under a rock forever."

"It'll be easier to lure the rats out into the open and take them all out in one move." Shade pointed out.

"Did you have something special in mind, Shade?" Grodd asked.

"There is a reason why Klarion put a spell on King Markov so Sideways cannot track him. Removing him from the throne is their main goal so that Brion could take it." Shade explained. "But what if there was a leak about Markov's whereabouts? They would be flocking like moths to a fire. And like those moths, they would burn before they realize too late their mistake."

"The heroes and the rebels would suspect a trap." Psimon spoke. "They will not take that bait."

"Which is why we shouldn't let that leak be too obvious and reach them too easily." Shade added.

"It's certainly the best plan we have. We should get to work ironing out the details." Grodd replied.

"And what of me?" Viktor asked. "Surely you do not intend to use me as actual live bait."

"Oh, will you calm down for just a minute." Grodd told him. "I can assure you, no harm will befall you. We won't put you in the line of fire. As long as you keep that mouth of yours shut and keep your meta factories going."

"Y-yes," Viktor said and retired from the room to let the villains discus their plan.

Rebel base

"So that's how they've been blocking Sideways tracking ability." Nightwing cried out.

"Who's Klarion?" Sideways asked.

"He's a witchboy form a dimension called the Witch World," Raven began, forming an astral projection of a bratty looking preteen with a lanky body. He was pale, black bowl cut hair and a creepy stare. He also sported a black suit. "He is an expert in every form of dark arts you can imagine. A match even for Etrigan the Demon, with whom he often clashes with. If anyone can block out your ability to trace people, it's him."

"Well, that won't help Viktor now." Brion declared. "Cyborg, where exactly are they?"

"A place called … Unit 099 in the Idlam Mountains."

"Unit 099," Tara said in surprise.

"You know that place?" Raven asked.

"It was a notorious laboratory built by the Nazis back in WWII when the country was under German occupation. They used it to conduct all kinds of inhumane experiments upon … upon those deemed none human by the Axis." Brion said with a heavy heart. He then turned to Sideways and said. "Sideways, you've got his location on screen. If you may."

"You got it," Sideways said and then his hands glowed as he was about to open up a portal. But there was only sparks in the air. "What the hell?"

"What's going on?" Starfire asked.

"I don't know. I've got Viktor's location. But I still can't open a portal." Sideways replied, confused.

"Can you still open a portal somewhere else?" Raven asked, then turned to Cyborg. "See if you can find an empty room. We don't want to alert them of our activities." Cyborg did just that, finding a cargo room, where Sideways successfully opened a portal. "Now I see. Looks like Klarion did more than just block out your tracking abilities upon the king. He also made it so you wouldn't be able to open portals within his vicinity."

"Looks like we're gonna have to do this the old fashion way," Nightwing stated.

"Good. I prefer a straight fight," Halo said, ramming their fist into their palm.

"Hold up. You might wanna see this." Oracle spoke and changed the screen on the computer to a laboratory where several dozens of civilians being experimented upon. "This is a live broadcast from the basement."

"You said this base was once used to conduct inhumane experiments? Looks like it's purpose has been revived." Nightwing commented with an appalled look.

"I recognize some of them," Brion said. "They are politicians who openly defied Viktor's government. They just disappeared. And now we know where they went."

"This is awful," Tara spoke up in horror. "How do we know they don't have more of these labs across the country?"

"Way ahead of ya," Said Oracle form the phone. "I've found three more of those labs across the country."

"Four in total," Nightwing said. "Okay people, listen up. What's most important now is catching Viktor. But we need to help these people too. We need to do a coordinated attack on all four of these laboratories. If we hit just one, than the others will be alerted and they may relocate out of precaution. Plus, we'll destroy the Light's work while we're at it."

"I hate to sound cold," Spoke up one of the rebels. "But the most important thing is to get Viktor. He has a large number of villains and soldiers at his location. Not to mention Unit 099 was built to wave of a siege, which has been upgraded with more modern weapons and tech. We should hit it with all combined forces. We barely survived last time with all of you helping us."

"So we condemn these poor people to a fate worse than death?" Tara objected. "Not a chance!"

"I understand your frustration, princess. They're my people too. But sometimes we have to make sacrifices." The rebel leader went on.

"Believe me, I know about sacrifice." Tara retorted, narrowing her eyes.

"No, you don't." Said the rebel. "You know about loss. Sacrifices are choices we make. Loss is a choice made for us. You can't save everyone."

"We cannot chose to let our own people suffer and die." Tara objected.

"And how many more will suffer and die if Viktor gets away?" The rebel pushed on.

"Enough," Brion barked. "Tara is right. We cannot leave our own to their fates. If we are smart about this, we can rescue all our people while usurping my father in one move. Cyborg, Oracle, have you got a clear idea on what we're up against?"

Unit 099 is heavily fortified. They have four AA guns, dozens of machine gunners nest spread across the base, a minefield surrounding the premise like a crescent. There're dozens of patrols on the mountain, inside the base are six tanks parked and five attack helicopters on the roof. In total, you have about 300 heavily armed soldiers, along with a big group of supervillains, on your hands."

"And the other bases?" Brion asked.

"Nowhere near as heavily guarded. Unit 099 is the main laboratory of this operation it seems."

"Okay, here's what we're gonna do," Brion started. "Nightwing, Cyborg and I will lead a strike team each on the first three meta facilities. We'll strike hard and swift, save the prisoners and lay the buildings to ruin. In the meantime, Sideways along with you guys," He said, pointing at the rebel leaders, "will start gathering everyone who can fight. We're gonna hit Unit 099 with all our forces. Once our strike teams have succeeded in our mission, we'll meet up back here and make our move."

"Okay. Lets iron out this whole plan so can pull this of as swiftly and smoothly as possible." Nightwing said and the group went to work.

Hell, Pentagram

"Nice ride, Cherri." Angel said as he sat on the front seat of a car that was being driven by Cherri Bomb. Garfield was in the backseat. "What did ya pay for it?" Angel asked.

"Ha! It's cute you think I actually paid for it." Cherri cried out.

"So this is a stolen vehicle?" Garfield asked.

"You just took part in massacring thousands of people. But stealing a car is where ye draw the line?" Angel Dust asked.

"Well, those people were Nazis, so…" Gar reasoned.

"Point taken," Angel replied. "But man. I'm still so jammed up! Nothin tickles me more than kicking Nazis ass."

"Just like the old days, huh, Angie?" Cherri asked.

"You've done this before?" Garfield asked.

"Yeah. Remember, I was part of the Italian mob back in the forties. In case ya don't know, the Italian mob helped the Allies retake Sicily and Italy. I killed dozens of Nazi freaks back then."

"Cool," Garfield commented. "So that makes you kinda like a WWII veteran?"

"Not exactly," Angel retorted. "I wasn't a soldier or part of any formal military. I was just part of one of the biggest criminal organizations in the world. A punk with a gun." He waved of.

"Wonder Woman and the Justice Society weren't part of any formal military either. But they're considered WWII veterans." Garfield pointed out.

"Point," Angel replied.

"So where are we going exactly?" Garfield asked.

"We're of the Soviet District," Cherri replied with a mad grin. "We've fucked up the Nazis. Now we're gonna fuck up the commies."

"We're going on another massacre?"

"That's right," Replied to the shapeshifter. "Cherri here grew up during the Red Scare. She's practically programmed to hate communism."

"Not true," Cherri replied. "I always saw through the propaganda the news were spilling. But that doesn't mean I don't see communism for what it really is." She said with rage in her eye.

"We're getting too political right now." Garfield said.

"Oh what? Like ya caped candy colored crusaders never get into politics." Angel stated

"We do. And we have different political views. We're still people after all. But I'm still pretty spent after the shit storm the internet caused post 2016."

"Oh yeah. That was the year the biggest capitalist in your country was voted into office," Angel said.

"Yeah," Gar said, nodding his head with a solemn expression. "I still can't believe people voted Lex Luthor as president of the United States."

"Hey now, I heard he did a pretty good job." Cherri pointed out. "Didn't he bring the stock market up by like 60%?"

"And improved the education system and healthcare program?" Angel asked.

"And finally labeled the KKK a terrorist group. I know, I know. He turned out pretty alright. Even Superman warmed up to him. I heard they even started to burying the hatchet. But then … it happened." Garfield said with a gloom expression.

"Oh yeah. We know about that. That was just a fucking bummer." Cherri said, shaking her head.

"By the way, I thought you weren't into politics." Garfield told Angel.

"I'm not. But I am interested in superhero activities. And if a former villain becomes president of the so called great US of A, then I'll follow what goes on." Angel replied.

"Fair enough," Garfield replied. "But look, it was fun venting my frustration on the Nazi. But I'm kinda spent. Besides, I don't hate commies as much as I hate Nazis."

Cherri shakes her head. "Of course you don't. Mainstream media never talks about the messed up shit commies does. Let auntie Cherri enlighten you. We still got 10 minutes till we get there."

"Okay. But I doubt it'll be enough to motivate me." Garfield said with a shrug.

Soviet District, 12 minutes later

"This is for the Holodomor!" Garfield cried out after running five commies over as a triceratops. "This is for Kolyma!" He cried out, turning into an ankylosaurus, swinging his clubbed tail to knock over a soviet tank. He then turned into a Brachiosaurus and rammed straight through a building, bringing the whole structure down. "And that's for cannibal island!" He shouted like a mad man.

"Christ on a stick. You created a monster." Angel told Cherri.

"It's alive! It's alive!" Cherri cried out, maniacally before tossing bombs at a group of fleeing communists.

Earth, Markovia.

In one of the meta facilities, a young woman with white hair and blue markings all over her body was tossed into a water tank. She gasped as if she could finally catch her breath. On her neck were visible gills and she had webbing on her hands.

"Looks like she can't breathe on land anymore." One of the scientists said with a nonchalant expression.

"No. But she could still be useful. Black Manta needs metas that can fight underwater for his campaign against Atlantis." Another one said. "Let's hold of on terminating her for now." They then walked over to a cage containing a few civilians.

"Which one should we try next?" His partner asked, which had every person in the cage back up against the wall, looking petrified.

But before they could pick another victim, one of sideways portals opened

/

"Stop! Please stop making me do this!" A young Native American teen begged as he was in the process of altering his size, as part of his meta powers. The process was a ray of some sort that was forcing him to grow.

"I don't think the subject can take much more of the strain, sir." Said one of the scientists. "If we keep this up, his muscles will tear him apart."

"Fine. Shut down the machine." The lead scientist ordered and once the ray was turned of, the teen shrunk back to normal size.

"Despite these setbacks, the subject was able to grow 50 feet just now. That is way taller than the Atom Smasher." The other scientist said.

"That means nothing if the subject cannot maintain the size without dying," The lead scientist retorted.

Just then, a portal opened up.

/

In yet another one of the labs, another group of scientist was looking down upon a young girl who had a metallic headband on. She was looking dazed. Like she was in a trance.

"Well, the headband certainly will keep her in line." A scientist said. "But the kind of power she posses is almost too dangerous."

"Tell that to the Light," Said his boss. "They want us to figure out how to harness her power. By any means."

And just then, another one of Sideways portals opened up.

Out of the portal jumped three figures. Nightwing, Starfire and Cyborg.

"The fuck!" Cried out the lead scientist who was hit with a stun bolt by Star. Didn't kill him, but just knocked him out.

The facility had it's fair share of guards, but they were no match for the highly experienced heroes. Cyborg used another one of his gadgets. An EMP gun that shut down the guards' weapons. Nightwing engaged in close up combat, knocking any guard down with ease, hitting them with his baton and throwing birdarangs at them. Starfire bulldozed right through a dozen of them, knocking them around like a bunch of salad.

As the guards were keeping the heroes busy, one of the scientists tried hitting the alarm. But nothing happened.

"What the hell!?" She cried out and tried contacting the outside, but no response. Not even on her phone. "What's going on here!" She spat, just as a guard landed in front of her. She looked up and saw the heroes starring down at her.

"Yeah, help ain't coming. I suggest you help yourself and take your people and leave. Because we're gonna wreck your little project." Nightwing told them.

"You heard the man!" Cyborg shouted to anyone still conscious. "Get your asses out of here. Leave the people you've experimented on, you sickos."

/

Geo Force and Halo were causes as much havoc in the facility with the young woman in the water tank.

"I do love it when it's just you and me, Halo." Geo Force commented as he disrupted the floor beneath some guards, knocking them over.

"We gotta do something different for our dates in the future though." Halo joked as they used their force field to block incoming bullets. "Surprised you didn't wanna do a team up with your sister though. In fact, you seemed almost insistent on teaming her up with Raven. Why is that?"

Geo Force gave her a sly grin. "Oh, you might find out someday." He said with a cheeky tone.

/

Indeed, Terra and Raven were teaming up, taking on the facility with the Native American with the growth power.

"Just the two of us. Takes you back, doesn't it?" Raven asked Terra while blocking bullets and sending black tentacles to knock them out.

"You mean back when I was Slade's spy?" Terra asked with a look of guilt and shame as she crushed the guard's weapons with rocks.

"Hey, I didn't mean it like that." Raven assured. "I've put that behind me. As have we all."

"I know that," Terra replied, raising the floor under some guards, tipping them over. "But even if you have all forgiven me, I will never forgive myself."

"Well … in a way that's a good thing." Raven replied, lifting up a few guards and threw them into another group. "The fact that you feel this much guilt is what keeps you human. It keeps you from becoming like … like Slade." She said after knocking out the last guards.

"Yeah … I guess you're right, as usual." Terra replied, giving her a smile, which the goth returned. Raven then noticed a guard still clinging on to consciousness, raising his gun at Terra. Raven was about to intervene, but Terra used her powers to knocked the guy over before he could take the shot.

Raven was stunned. "How did you-?"

"I've learned how to see everything around me through the vibrations on the earth," Terra revealed with a grin.

"… Did you get that idea from Avatar?" Raven asked, curiously.

"You've watched Avatar?!" Terra cried out in shock.

Raven then snapped back to reality. "Hey, focus. We got a job to do." She told her, changing the subject.

/

With Nigthwing's group, the heroes were gathering up the victims of the experiments when Cyborg approached the girls with the metallic headband.

"Guys, I got a funny feeling about her." He said.

"What do you mean?" Starfire asked.

"They put this poor girl in a catatonic state. Why? Because they couldn't control her." Cyborg deduced.

"Still, it's inhumane to leave her like that." Nightwing told him.

"You're right," Cyborg agreed and carefully removed the headband. The moment he did however, the girl's eyes suddenly snapped wide open and a mental wave suddenly unleashed upon the room. Everyone cried out in agony, grabbing their heads. All except Cyborg. "Shit," He hissed looking at the others, then down at the girl. She was screaming in fear as she was throwing her arms around. As if trying to chase away demons. "Hey! Hey, hey, hey. Calm down." Cyborg told her as he knelt down to her level. "Calm down girl. You're safe." He gently told her, managing to get her calm down for a second. But then she saw the headband in his hands and freaked out again. Cyborg realized she was afraid of it. So he broke it in two, destroying it. That seemed to have worked as the girl was now calming down. "There. It's destroyed. It can't hurt you anymore." He assured her. Everyone else were recovering from that mental attack. No one seemed to have suffered any permanent damages. Cyborg carefully held out his hand for the girl. "It's okay." He gently said. "It's alright. You're safe now." He told her, giving her the most reassuring facial expression she had seen. She looked at his hand, then back at him. She was hesitant at first. But then grabbed his hand and Cyborg helped her stand up. "Everything's gonna be alright now. You don't have to worry about these people hurting you anymore." He told her and just because he said that, she believed him. Even though she had never met this person before, she somehow felt she could trust him. "What is your name?"

"I … I don't … remember," She silently said.

"Don't worry about it," Cyborg said, giving her more comfort. "We'll figure that out eventually." He promised. "Now come on. You must be eager to get out of this stank hole." He gestured to the portal, but she was afraid. Cyborg could tell. So he told her, "Look, I can't force you to come with us. But do you really want to stay here?" He asked and she looked around this awful room with all these bad memories from it. She shakes her head and starts to hesitantly walked towards the portal. She stuck closely to Cyborg however, feeling as if he was the only person she could trust in the room right now. Cyborg let her stay close as he guided her through the portal.

"That's all of them. Take it away, Star." Nightwing told his girlfriend. Starfire nodded and started shooting star bolts all over the facility, destroying every piece of lab equipment, data and research.

/

With Geo Force and Halo, they were gathering up the civilians when they reached the girl in the water tank.

"Hey. You wanna come out?" Halo asked her, but she shakes her head. "Hm? Why? We need to get out of here." They told her. The girl pointed at her neck, showing her gills. "Wait, are you Atlantean?"

"No, she can't be." Geo Force said, stepping forward. "All Atlanteans can breath on land. She must've been an unfortunate soul who was turned so drastically that she now has gills. She can't breath outside of water anymore it seems." He deduced and the girl nodded with a sad expression. "We'll have to move the entire tank." He said and used his earth powers to lift the ground beneath the tank and started dragging the girl to the portal, carefully so the tank won't tip over. "Halo, will you do the honor?" He asked and Halo started blasting the facility with their yellow energy blasts.

/

"Raven, do you wanna do the honor?" Terra offered as the two young women stood before the portal.

"How about we do it together?" The goth offered, earning a smile from the blonde.

"Gladly." Terra replied and then the two worked together. Raven engulfed the lab in her dark energy, helping Terra as she cracked up the foundations of the walls and brought down the whole building, just as they leaped through the portal.

/

Rebel base

"Damn, girl." Terra said with a grin. "I didn't know you had it in ya to bring down a house." She joked.

"There're a lot of things about me you don't know yet." Raven replied with a smirk.

They looked around the large room, which was filled with people. The rescue mission had been a complete success. The heroes had successfully gathered up all the victims of the metahuman experiment, who were being taken care of by the rebels. Speaking of which, there was a far greater number of rebels in the base now. Hundreds of them. Sideways had now successfully gathered up the entire Markovian rebellion.

"Be very careful with this one. She cannot breathe out of the water. If the tank tips over, she'll die from suffocation." Brion instructed his soldiers as he left the unfortunate girl in their care.

"I'll contact Garth when this ordeal is over. Maybe Atlantis can help her," Nightwing said.

"Let's hope so," Brion replied.

"A lot of people here ain't Markovian," Terra told her brother.

"The Light must've abducted them from all over the globe. No discrimination at least." Cyborg dryly said, sitting next to the girl. He had given her an iPad to play with to keep her occupied.

"We gotta get a move on," Brion told the other heroes. "It won't be long before Viktor is alerted about our attack. We must act quickly."

"On it, boss." Sideways said and opened up another portal.

/

Unit 099, camera room.

"So my daughter took her first steps earlier this week," One of the officers in the monitor room said to his work buddy, stirring his coffee.

"That's great," His coworker said, holding a sandwich. "My son will start his first year in high school by the end of summer." He said with pride.

"That's fantastic. You told me he excelled among his peers before graduating middle school." The other guy said with a sincere smile.

Just then, Sideways' portal appeared. Before the security guards could snap out of their initial shock and react, two rebels exited the portal, armed with guns that had silencers on them. They shot both guards dead without alerting anyone outside the room. One of them spoke into a radio.

"The monitor room is secured," She said.

/

Rebel base

"Good job." Brion replied to the other radio. Then turned to Sideways. "Get going."

"You got it boss," Sideways replied and went inside to the monitor room.

Brion then got on a crate to get a view of all the rebels in the base. "My countrymen!" He called out, catching their attention. "You are the free people of Markovia. You represent everything this country is suppose to be. Now our time has come. We finally have Viktor's location. The rat can no longer hide. This is our one chance to finally bring down my father. If we succeed in our task, then tonight may be the last time Markovia is a dictatorship."

"We're with you to the end, Brion! For Markovia!" A rebel soldier cried out.

"FOR MARKOVIA!" The other rebels shouted, throwing their arms in the air.

Brion smiled at his fellow patriots. "We are also dealing with a global criminal organization too. So if we are victories, we may not have just created a better tomorrow for our country. But for the whole world as well. So ready yourselves, Markovians. The battle is upon us!" He finished and everyone cheered with much motivation.

"Your bro is kinda like Captain America," Cyborg told Terra, who smiled with pride. Cyborg then turned to the girl and knelt down to his level. "Alright, listen. I promised I'd take care of you. But a lot of people are depending on me right now. I have to go do my job. But I'll be right back as soon as I can. You think you can brave until then?" He asked and she nodded. Cyborg smiled at her and gently patted her head. "Good."

/

Unit 099

Viktor was seen walking through the laboratory where all the horrific experiments were conducted upon the innocence. All around were also giant vat of chemicals, with walkways over them. Viktor casually ignored the cries of the people around him as he went over to the lead scientist.

"Larson!" He cried out, catching the blonde man's attention.

"Your highness," He bowed respectfully. "You'll be glad to know several of our subjects has successfully been turned without any of the previous side-effects. Our patience has been rewarded."

"I don't care about those, Larson. What about the Damage Project? That's what the Light is most curious about." Viktor told him.

"Oh, his transformation was a success. Almost too successful," Larson replied with a worried expression. "It became strong. So strong it almost broke free of it's restraints, which were made to be strong enough to hold even Superman. Luckily, it's time ran out and was turned back into human. We've kept it sedated ever since."

"This could rival even the Captain Nazi serum," Viktor said with glee. "The only problem is controlling it. But maybe Ace could remedy that problem, assuming they'll get her under control too."

/

Back in the monitor room, Sideways had assessed the situation and saw all the villains gathered in one room. He had been joined by the other heroes, minus Geo Force as he was leading the rebel army.

"Alright, I'm ready to open up my portals wherever you all need to go."

"Sends us right in the middle of the villains. We'll get the drop on them like Hiroshima." Nightwing instructed.

"You got it," Sideways replied before speaking into the radio. "Brion, I got Viktor's location. I'll be able to open portals in every exit and cut of his escape."

/

"Good. But don't forget the armory and the garage with all the tanks." Geo Force instructed as he stood ready with his soldiers.

/

"Alright everyone. The moment of truth. No turning back now." Sideways said and spread his arms out, hands glowing. "Good luck everyone. See on the other side."

/

The villains were playing poker, with Livewire streaming it.

"You're cheating. You're reading our minds, aren't you?" Copperhead accused Grood.

"Why won't you try and prove it," The gorilla dared him, which made him back down.

Before things could escalate, a portal opened up above the table. It all happened so fast. Cyborg knocked out out both Psimon and Grodd with a dual shot from both his canons. Nightwing kicked Copperhead up the chin. Halo blasted Shade in the face, blinding him. Raven engulfed Snowflame and Livewire in dark energy and tossed them into the wall, knocking them out. Starfire blasted Dr. Psycho and uppercut Devastation, sending her into the air. When she descended, another portal opened up beneath her, sending her away. Terra then restrained the villains with her powers. It held everyone, mostly because they were unconscious. Except for Shade, who was only blinded by Halo. He struggled in his restraints before disappearing in his own shadow.

"Fuck!" Terra cried out.

"Raven, try and find him. And bring Halo with you." Nightwing ordered. "Let's restrain these people so we can join the rebels."

/

As that was going on, Viktor was given a most unfortunate news.

"Sire!" Someone cried out, rushing over to the king, who was on the walkway over the vat of chemicals. Next to him was Larson. "We just received word that all of our meta-human facilities have been attacked and destroyed."

"WHAT!?" Viktor cried out. "How did this happen!?"

Before he got his answers, there was a blast at every door and rebels came pouring in. a shootout began between rebels and Markovian soldiers. Geo Force evened the playing fields in favor of the rebels.

/

All over the base, the battle broke out. Rebels and loyalists engaging one another in hallways, the hangar, dining hall, loading docks, etc. After the heroes had cuffed the villains and put power restraining collars on them, they quickly left the room to go help in the fight.

/

Back in the laboratory, Viktor was running across the walkway, a look of horror on his facial expression.

"Wait for me!" Larson cried out, trying to keep up. But an explosion caused the runway to crumble. Viktor made it. But Larson was not so lucky. He tipped over, his foot clinging onto the railing. "Wait!" He cried for Viktor. "Help me! Please help me!" He cried out as he hung over the vat of chemicals. But Viktor ignored him and kept running. The commotion made the walkway crumble some more. "Ah! Stop it you fools! Those chemicals can turn a person's DNA inside out!" He shouted. But another explosion caused the walkway to completely crumble. "NO!" He cried out before he dropped into the chemicals.

/

General Immortus entered the lab, looking mighty pist, a gun in his left hand and a sword in the other. While the soldiers were engaging the rebels, the scientists were taking cover wherever they could. Immortus stomped over to them.

"Where is Larson!" He spat.

"We haven't seen him. He must've fled." One of the scientists replied.

"Coward," Immortus growled. "Release our meta soldiers."

"But they haven't been tested for combat yet," The scientist replied. But Immortus aimed his gun at her face. "I mean, yes general!" She cried out and grabbed a laptop on the floor.

"Where the Hell is Bedlam?" Immortus growled.

/

Terra was taking down soldiers by burying them into the floor with just their heads sticking up. As she walked over, she was met by someone she's been dying to meet again.

"Princess," Bedlam said.

"General," Terra hissed and then her eyes and body glowed yellow. "Surrender now and I promise to only give you a few bruises."

"That's not gonna happen," Bedlam hissed with a wicked grin. Suddenly, much to Terra's disgust and horror, Bedlam tore of his skin. And underneath was a layer of rock skin, making him look like a living statue.

"Oh, you've gotta be shitting me." Terra groaned. Bedlam then charged at her like a rhino. So Terra rose a five foot thick wall to block him. But her barreled through the wall like tearing through a cardboard wall. "Oh shit!" Terra cried out and narrowly avoided Bedlam's charge, leaping backwards.

/

Back in the lab, the rebels were successfully pushing the military forces backwards, thanks in no small part to Geo Force. However, their luck ran out when a ball of fire struck them, incinerating dozens of them. And then a tornado hit them horizontally, followed by an ice beam. Geo Force looked around and saw three peculiar clad individuals approach the rebels. One was a tall well toned woman with fiery orange hair longer than Starfire's. Another woman had ice blue skin color with white hair, sporting a dark blue one piece suit with winder boots and gloves to match. And the third one was an Asian man with short black hair, levitating above the floor in a tornado.

/

"Aw shit!" Sideways cried out, seeing Brion in trouble. "Guys! Geo Force is dealing with a bunch of metas. I'm sending some of you to his location."

"Roger that," Nightwing replied over the radio.

/

"Marvelous, aren't they, Brion." Spoke Immortus as he stepped forward with a large group of Psimon's abominations behind him. "These are our more successful subjects, Volcana," He gestured to the orange haired woman. "Ice-Maiden." He gestured to the blue skinned woman. "And Wind Dragon." He gestured the Asian man.

Geo Force examined them and noticed the chips on their heads. "I take it those chips on their foreheads allows you to control them?"

"You always were so clever. That's what I like about you. Which makes what I'm about to do all the more heartbreaking … Kill him and the rebels." Immortus ordered and the three metas attacked.

But it was then three of Sideways' portals opened up next to Geo-Force. Arriving to assist were Nightwing, Starfire and Cyborg. "Guess that evens the odds," Geo Force told Immortus with a smug grin. The general lets out a snort and shoots at Geo-Force, he quickly reacted by raising a rock wall. The other heroes engaged the metas. "Guys, look at their foreheads! They are being controlled!" He told the group as he engaged Ice-Maiden.

"Got it!" Nightwing replied as he took it upon himself to lead the rebels against Immortus, while Cyborg fought Wind Dragon and Starfire fought Volcana.

"Kill them all!" Immortus ordered as he charged with Psimon's abominations.

/

Viktor made it to another room containing several pods. There he found Shade as he was prepping one particular pod to be moved. A pod that was labeled 'Project Damage.'

"What're you doing?" Viktor demanded.

"I can at least save this one so this whole project wasn't a complete waste of our effort and resources." Shade explained before opening up a portal of his own.

"Then you'll have to take me with you," Viktor stated with a matter of fact tone. But Shade gave him a chuckled.

"You? You're useless to us now. Why would I save you?" He asked.

Viktor looked like Shade had just spit in his food. "But you need me! I am the only reason this project has been going on for as long as it has!"

"Don't you get it yet, your highness?" Shade asked as he sent the pod through his portal. "It's over. All your facilities have been destroyed and this one will fall soon enough. Your son will usurp you. And when that happens, Markovia won't be a safe place for the Light anymore. You were never really the mastermind behind any of this, to be honest. You were just a replaceable pawn." He coldly told Viktor who just stood there, flabbergasted. "Tata," Shade said with a smirk, waving the soon to be former king of.

Just as he was about to enter the portal, Raven and Halo blasted their way through the door. Viktor dropped for cover. Shade quickly covered his escape, shooting shadows at the two heroes. Halo quickly reacted and shot energy blasts, which discarded the shadows. But it was too late. Shade was gone as soon as the bright lights and the shadows dispersed.

"Damn it!" Halo spat.

"I can't sense him anywhere," Raven said, trying to detect him. "He must be out of the country by now." She concluded.

"Ignore him," Halo replied when they saw who was on the floor. "We just caught bigger game." They said, standing over the former king, alongside Raven.

Viktor looked up at them, distraught. "Well… checkmate." Raven said with a grin.

"Wait!" Viktor cried out. "I can give you Ravager. It's her you want, yes? To avenge your fallen friend. I sent her to Qurac to assassinate their president and his supporters."

Raven and Halo looked distraught. "Thanks for tell us this, your majesty." She said as she summoned metal wires from the debris and tied him up.

"Wait! What're you doing?! I told you where Ravager is!" Viktor cried out as he was being dragged away.

"Your point?" Raven asked him with a glare.

"It was so you would let me go!" Viktor cried out.

"Halo, did we make such a deal before he babbled like an idiot?" Raven asked.

"No memory of it, Raven." Halo replied and Viktor became white as sheet, knowing it was over.

/

"Bring out the flamethrowers!" A rebel ordered and about seven of them stepped forward with flamethrowers aimed at the abominations. They shot the creatures, burning them to a crisp.

"No!" Immortus spat, shooting at the enemy. But his gun was knocked out his wrinkled old hand by a birdarang.

"Stand down. I don't wanna kick an old dog." Nightwing told Immortus as he approached him. But then with blinding speed, Immortus swung his sword at Nightwing's chest, nearly cutting him open, had Nightwing not reacted fast enough and dodged him.

"Don't judge a book by it's cover, boy." Immortus told him, taking a battle stance with his sword. Nightwing glared at him and took is his own battle stance with his batons and they engaged in close up combat. Immortus showed great reflexes and skills for a man of his appearance. "I have lived since the golden age the Pharaohs, fought in more wars than you can imagine, trained with the most skilled warriors the history of humanity has known. Do you really think you can beat me?!" He spat, only to be smacked across the face by one of Nightwing's batons.

"As a matter of fact, I do." Nightwing replied.

/

Geo Force used his rocks to block Ice-Maiden's every attack.

"I don't wanna hurt you miss. Don't make me do this." He told her, but got no reaction. The chip on her forehead had her under full control. But Geo Force only need one opening. He got it when when he managed to get about five feet from her. He then used a pebble to strike the chip. He made sure to hit it with enough force to break it, but also not so hard that he'd accidentally crack her skull. It worked. The chip was destroyed and she fell unconscious from the mental strain being removed from her.

Starfire was at a standstill with Volcana, her starbolts mixing with Volcana's fires as they hovered in the air. Both women were straining each other. But Starfire looked up to the ceiling and shot her laser eyes on it. Some debris came down and hit Volcana, knocking her to the floor. She groaned as she got up on all four. But Starfire was in front of her already, bending down and took of the chip. Volcana passed out like Ice Maiden did.

Cyborg tried shooting Wind Dragon, but the youngster was as fast as the wind he was controlling, easily dodging the beam. He then countered by shooting a tornado at Cyborg, which knocked the half machine/half man into a wall. Wind Dragon then pinned him to the wall with a tornado. Cyborg quickly summoned a gas mask, allowing him breath. He then examined the chip on Wind Dragon's forehead and locked on. He managed to aim his robotic finger at the chip, which then shot some kind of ray at the chip. Statics emitted from the chip before it dropped from Wind Dragon's forehead and the teen passed out.

Nightwing and Immortus seemed to be on equal footing as they clashed. "I have won battles long forgotten by mankind, beaten entire armies even the odds seemed hopelessly against me, defeated some of the greatest fighters in the world. I will not lose to you!" Immortus spat, furiously lashing at Nightwing. But the former boy wonder managed to see an opening and hit Immortus chest with the tip of his baton, electrocuting him, which knocked him out.

"The greatest fighters in the world?" Nightwing asked. "Guess I'm better than they were."

/

"Fight me!" Bedlam shouted in frustration as he kept chasing Terra, who only dodged him. "You coward," He hissed as he tossed himself at her, almost hitting her. "Why won't you fight me?!" He spat.

"I'm concentrating," Terra replied.

"Concentrating?!" Bedlam spat. "Concentrating on what?!" He asked before throwing a fist at her. But then he force, his fist just inches from her face as his body was engulfed in yellow energy.

"That," Terra replied and made Bedlam stand straight. The general was looking flabbergast and horrified. "I can control the earth, remember? I just always had troubles with organic rocks like yours. I tried this method once on Cinderblock but the other Titans took him out before I could get it right. But I already had the gist of it. You just helped me perfect it."

"This is not fair," Bedlam said in a whiny tone.

"I'm sorry. I don't give a fuck." Terra said with a grin before started tossing Bedlam around the room, smashing him against the walls, ceiling and floor, very fast and very hard. She then dropped him on the floor. "Pathetic little man," She said before walking away, leaving Bedlam groaning in a crater. Terra went on to help the rebels clear the base of the remainder of soldiers.

/

"The laboratory has been secured Brion." Said one of the rebel officers.

"Good. Now help these people. Many of them are going to need a hospital." Geo Force ordered, gesturing to the civilians.

"Geo Force," Raven said as she and Halo descended from the upper floors with Viktor. The other rebels spat hateful words at their former king who was dropped before Brion.

"Hello father. Don't I get a hug?" Brion asked and Viktor only gave him a frightened look.

"I hate to ruin this moment, Geo Force. But got another situation," Raven spoke up. "We just learned from Viktor that he sent Ravager to assassinate the president of Qurac."

"What?" Brion gasped. "That man is the reason why several Middle-Eastern nations have ceased fire."

"If he dies, the country be thrown into turmoil." Nightwing said. "We have to intercept her now."

"Sideways," Brion spoke into the intercom.

/

"Heard everything. I am trying to locate her now." Sideways replied, putting his fingers on his head. "Found her. I'm opening a portal to her location now."

/

And a portal did emerge back in the laboratory.

"Okay, Raven and I will go." Nightwing instructed. "The rest of you will have to stay here and mop things up."

"Leave it to us, bro." Cyborg replied. "I'm also sending a warning to the president."

Dhabar, capitol of Qurak

"Last time I was here, I threatened the entire country with a fake nuclear bomb." Cheshire commented as she and Ravager walked over the rooftops of several buildings.

"Oh yeah. That was when Speedy stopped you," Ravager replied. "And then you disappeared for nine months."

"I did say the bomb was fake. When Speedy found out about it, well he was still pist. But he could never resist my charm." Cheshire explained with a chuckle.

"And now you've left him to raise a kid all by himself, paying no alimony. You sly bitch." Ravager replied with a smirk.

"Hey, Lian is better of without me in her life. I'm staying away from her to keep her safe. You know the kind of people who are after me. The kind of people who'd come after me if I left the organization." Cheshire retorted.

"Yeah I hear ya," Ravager replied. "It's the same reason I avoid getting involved in Jericho's life. Especially now that I've killed one of his teammates." She said just as a large building came into view as they scaled a building. "We can talk about our dysfunctional families later. Let's just murder a president and throw the country into turmoil so we can collect our paycheck."

But before they could advance, one of Sideways portals opened up behind them. They turned around just in time as Nightwing and Raven emerged from the portal. The two assassins leaped out of the way, showing their great reflexes.

"Cheshire?" Nightwing said.

"Oh, you gotta be kidding me." Cheshire groaned.

"The fuck are you doing here?" Ravager growled.

"Raven, you take Ravager. I can take Cheshire." Nightwing told her.

"That suits me just fine." The goth replied and went to face Ravager.

"You sure you want this fight, bird boy?" Cheshire asked, pulling two sais and attacked, clashing with Nightwing's batons.

Ravager pulled a sword and a gun. She shot at Raven, who turned intangible and dodged every shot.

"Clever girl," Ravager said and put away the girl.

"I was correct to assume those were nth metal bullets." Raven commented.

"That's right," Ravager replied as she advanced on Raven. She lets out a battle cry as she charged, thrusting forward with her sword.

Raven flies away and tries hitting Ravager with her dark energy, which Ravager disrupts with her sword. "And so's your sword. Great." The goth groaned.

/

Markovia, Unit 099

"Brion, this is Terra. We've secured the entire east side. So that means we've taken the whole base." Terra spoke into her intercom.

/

"Thanks, sister." Geo Force said and turned to the other rebels. "Everyone, we have taken Unit 099 and my beloved father has been dethroned. In other words, Markovia is liberated!" He declared and everyone cheered, knowing a brighter future awaits their country now that Brion would take the throne. Geo Force then turned to face Viktor once again. "You, along with all your lackeys will answer for all your crimes."

"Y-you wouldn't execute your own father, would you Brion." Viktor said, voice cracking. "We're family. Could you really kill your own blood?"

"Tara, Violet, all my friends in the rebellion, my people, they are my family." Brion declared, arms folded as he starred down upon his father with an inscrutable poker face. "I crush the enemy of my family." He declared, turned his back on Viktor and walked away. "We should go help Nightwing and Raven now." He suggested, to which the other heroes agreed.

But then something emerged from one of the vats of chemicals. A giant reptilian clawed hand. It caught everyone's attention. Something enormous emerged from the vat, spilling the content over. Everyone got out of the way as the chemicals washed over a large portion of the lab. The creature that emerged was a giant mix of animals, vegetables, minerals and man. A man's head was on the torso. Larson's head. Well half at least. The other half of his face was the head of a dinosaur. Everyone were horrified at the sight that they didn't react at first. But then, the human head screamed in agony while the dinosaur roared.

"OPEN FIRE!" One of the rebels cried out in panic and they all did that. But of course, this 100 ft tall monster was bulletproof and retaliated by extending it's right tree shaped arm, smashing the floor. It then swooped the rebels away.

The heroes went on the offense, with Cyborg shooting his laser cannon on, Starfire her star bolts and Geo Force throwing dozens of boulders at it. It did take some damage. But not enough. It only made it angrier and it swatted the heroes away like flies. It then went on a rampage and tore it's way through the building.

/

Terra and the rebels with her felt the tremors.

"Brion! What the hell is going on?" She cried out into the radio.

"Come to our position, Tara! We'll need all the help we can get now!" Brion told her.

Sideways had seen everything in the monitor room.

"Shit! I better get out there too." He hissed and opened up a portal.

/

The monster burst through the WWII facility, roaring in agony. Tears were leaking out of the eye of Larson's face. The heroes exited the building, Sideways coming out of a portal.

"What the fuck is that thing?!" Sideways cried out.

"It looks like some sort of animal vegetable mineral … man … thing." Starfire deduced, trying to piece together this creature's strange strange appearance.

"Whatever it is, it's on a rampage. We cannot let it run amok. We have to take it down," Geo Force told everyone.

The Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Man then noticed lights from a city. And for some reason, it irritated him. He roared and began advancing on the city.

"Crap! He's heading towards the city!" Geo Force cried out.

"Come on!" Cyborg urged as he activated his jetpack and took to the air with other heroes following.

"So you still go around killing people for a living? You really won't change, will you?" Nightwing spat as he clashed with Cheshire.

"Don't you dare judge me!" Cheshire growled. "You know the kind of crowed I've gotten involved with. You know leaving their organization will result in me being a target. I'm already wanted by several countries. It's too late for me." She declared.

"That's your own fault for making such stupid decisions when you were younger." Nightwing barked.

"I know that!" Cheshire spat back. "I trusted the wrong people in my youth and now I can't even see my own daughter because of it! Can you even imagine what that's like? To have brought a person into this world only be forced to give them up, knowing their lives would be ruined by my side!?"

"Well, giving up Lian was perhaps the most morally right thing you've ever done." Nightwing admitted. "But that doesn't make up for all the people you've killed."

"No, it doesn't." Cheshire admitted. "That don't mean I'll make it easy for you." She stated.

Raven kept trying to strike down Ravager using her shadowy magic. But she cut them with enough speed and elegancy that Raven just couldn't land a blow.

"This is tedious," She told the goth. "Just stand still and I'll send you to reunite with that green loser of yours."

"Rose, why did you avenge Slade's death?" Raven asked. "Jericho has told us what he did to you two. It doesn't make much sense to me that you would avenge his murder."

"You're right. There was a grander motive behind it all. But why bother explaining it to a dead bitch?" Ravager asked with a sinister smirk.

"Say, do you know the Green Lantern's weakness?" Raven asked.

"You mean the color yellow? Yeah, it's a really stupid weakness if you asked me. But what the fuck does that have to do with any of this?" Ravager asked.

"Did you know that they are trained in ways to counter that weakness?" Raven asked as she engulfed a pair of lampposts in her magic and then ripped them out of the ground, swinging them around gracefully in front of Ravager.

"Well, fuck," She groaned.

Markovia

It was quiet in the town of Hollenburg. After all, it was almost three in the morning, as shown on the town clock. The only activity were the soldiers patrolling the streets at night. They were then on high alert as they felt a tremor followed by a nightmarish roar. They turned and saw the Animal vegetable Mineral Man at the outskirt of the city, approaching. They were unsure of what to do. But their first instinct was to open fire. Which did nothing. It looked like the monster was about to rampage through the town. But then got pulled back by green star bolts and blue energy blasts striking him in the face. As he backed away, the ground behind him opened up a hole where his rocky shaped foot stepped in and he tipped over.

Back in town, the soldiers watched in awe. Lights were turning on in each building as the commotion had woken up the people. Geo Force descended upon the soldiers on a rock.

"Start evacuating each building. Get the civilians as far away from this part of the town as you can. Get any armored vehicle and set up a defensive perimeter on each block." He instructed.

"Why should we take orders from you?" One of the soldiers asked. Suddenly, the Animal Vegetable Mineral Man burst through the streets, roaring in anger. But Geo Force rose the earth under his chin and then pushed him away, out of the city and turned back to look at the soldiers. "Start evacuating each building!" The officer told his troops. "Get the civilians as far away from this part of town as you can!" He said and then spook into his radio. "Get the tanks and artillery out. We need to set up a perimeter on each block."

/

Back in the outskirt of the city, the heroes fought hard against this new threat, but the monster swung at them like trying to swat away flies. Starfire and Halo teamed up to try and shoot him in the face, but he formed his arm into a form of crystal to block them. He then extended vines to grab a building sized boulder and flung it at the girls, who moved out of the way. But now it flew towards the city.

/

People were already leaving their homes, dressed in their sleep attires or morning robes. They had all seen the Animal Vegetable Mineral Man and were panicking as they scurried from their homes.

"Please, maintain calm! Evacuate in an orderly fashion!" One of the soldiers helping with the evacuation said, trying to control the situation. But people were scared for their lives.

One boy who was being dragged by his mom and holding onto his stuffed animal, dropped his toy. He yanked free from his mother's grip and rushed back to get his toy.

"Christophe!" The mother cried out, trying to get to her son. But she was being pushed back by a panicking crowed. "Christophe! Come back here!" She cried out in a panic.

Christophe managed to get to his stuffed animal in time when the boulder that was tossed hit the building above the fleeing crowd. Everyone looked up as several tons of debris and the boulder descended upon them. They all screamed and Christophe covered his head, all thinking this was the end. But their deaths were halted when the debris were suddenly stopped. Christophe opened his eyes and looked up, seeing Geo Force standing next to him. The crowd had fallen silent and their eyes turned to Geo Force. He then sent all of the debris away from the city. He had successfully saved over 100 people from being crushed to death.

"It's Brion."

"Our rightful ruler."

"He saved us."

As the crowd spoke, Geo Force looked down at Christophe. He smiled as he knelt down to the boy's level. "Get back to your mother. Everything's gonna be alright now." He assured, handing the stuffed animal back to Christophe. The five year old took his toy back, returning the smile. He then hugged Brion, who returned the hug. The child let go and rushed back to his mother, who picked him up.

Geo Force turned his attention back to the battle in the distance. He took to the sky on a rock and flew into action at break neck speed.

/

Back at the battle, the Animal Vegetable Mineral Man, the monster had formed his left arm into a massive rock fist that he threw at the heroes. But he was suddenly stopped when the whole arm was engulfed in yellow light. Terra was successfully holding it in place.

"Terra?" Cyborg said in confusion. "I thought you couldn't control organic rocks."

"I said it was harder for me," Terra replied, sweating bullets as she struggled to hold the arm in place. "I only just now learned how to do it!"

"Perfect. Hold him as still as you can." Cyborg said and flew around the creature, shooting at the eyes.

Run Around by Jason Radford, starts playing

Geo Force returned to join the fray. He jumped of the boulder he was flying on, did a superhero landing and erected a small mountain out of the ground and hit the Animal Mineral Vegetable Man in the torso, knocking him to the ground.

Things are starting to accelerate into something never
Stopping always troubled but now I think I'm getting dizzy too much spinning pace my
Patience line is thickening, quickening.

The kaiju tried getting up. But when he put his hand down on the ground, it went right through a portal by Sideways. But this one was much larger than the previous ones he's made and he struggled to open it. Then he closed it, chopping the arm of, resulting in the monster screaming in pain.

It's getting too insane. I'm trying to maintain
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

Starfire, Cyborg and Halo all three uppercut the monster and then descended upon it's head. He got really mad and shot vines at them, grappling them in it's vegetation.

You run around, I run around
We're all gonna run, run, run around

Geo Force and Terra teamed up to make a really sharp axe like rock which they used to chop the vines of, freeing their friends.

You run around, I run around
We all do a run, run, run around

The kaiju then turned his remaining arm into a crystallized fist that he threw at the heroes. But then it was engulfed in yellow energy again and the fist went right to his face.

It is getting closer
More tense ever spinning, twisting, turning roller coaster

"Quit hitting yourself!" Terra jokingly cried out.

Inch by inch the gap is
Closing pressure, building temperature, rising hotter and hotter

Suddenly, Animal Mineral Vegetable Man turned his right leg into a giant spitting cobra, which then spat vats of venom at the heroes. Luckily, Halo summoned their red force field and protected everyone. But now the kaiju could get up without the heroes putting pressure on him.

It's getting too crazy I wish I could maybe
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

He regrew his lost arm thinks to his vegetable physiology. He then went on a rampage, forcing the heroes to scatter.

Run, run baby

"Shoot it!" Geo Force cried out.

Run, run baby

"Where?!" Cyborg asked as he flew besides the earth controller.

Run, run baby

"In it's jambags!"

Run, run baby

"The fuck are jambags?!" Cyborg shouted back.

Run, run baby

Suddenly, rock erected from the ground and hit the Animal Vegetable Mineral Man in the crotch, causing him to cringe and hunch over, holding his aching member.

Run, run baby

"That's a jambag!" Terra told Cyborg.

Like a rocket
Like a rocket

Starfire engulfed her body in green energy and rammed head first into the stomach of the monster.

Never stopping
Never stopping

The impact knocked the air out of him. He was then hit on both sides by two large square shaped boulders by Terra and Geo Force.

You run around, I run around
We're all gonna run, run, run around

Animal Vegetable Mineral Man took another swing at the heroes, but they were saved by Sideways who took them into his portals and reemerged them at a safe distance.

"Should've thought of that before." He commented.

You run around, I run around
We all do a run, run, run around

Suddenly, there was a bright colorful light in the sky. It was Halo who was emitting a rainbow colored aura from their body.

"Everyone keep your distance. This could get shaky." Brion told the team.

You run around, I run around
We're all gonna run, run, run around

Halo then descended upon the Animal Vegetable Mineral Man like a bullet, hitting him with a rainbow colored explosion that illuminated the darkness of the night. The resulting explosion caused the monster to let out a final roar before passing out.

You run around, I run around
We all do a run, run, run around

Halo had successfully delivered the final blow as the kaiju reverted to normal size. They let out a sighed as they leaned forward, resting their hands on their knees.

"Violet," Geo Force said, rushing over to them with concern.

"I'm alright," They assured him. "You know I always get exhausted whenever I use my Rainbow Power move."

"Taste the rainbow, motherfucker." Sideways commented as he looked down upon the unconscious villain.

Qurac

As Nightwing and Cheshire clashed, a curious question came to her mind.

"So how did you know we were gonna assassinate the president?" She asked.

"Viktor told us," Nightwing replied. "He's been usurped."

Cheshire's suddenly pulled back her sais. "Then this fight is pointless. I have no reason to kill the president now that my client can no longer pay me."

"You really think I'm just gonna let you walk away?" Nightwing spat.

Cheshire chuckled. "Tell Roy I said hi," She replied before hitting smoke bombs on the floor. Nightwing tried to go after her. But as the smoke dispersed, she was gone. Much to his frustration.

Back with Raven, she was throwing object at Ravager, who dodged them gracefully, while countering by shooting at Raven or throwing knives at her. The goth just kept a protective shield up to block each attack. But Ravager saw an opening in this move. As she dodged Raven's assault, she suddenly threw the nth metal sword at her instead. Raven saw it coming however and turned intangible again, dodging the sword.

"Stupid move," She stated and wrapped a shadowy tentacle around Ravager's ankle.

"Fuck!" She cried out as she was swooped of the ground and shamed into the floor repeatedly like a ragdoll. She was now all banged up and groaning. Her armor was busted up, including her helmet, exposing her pretty face. She looked up at Raven with a glare. "You're gonna regret today," She promised.

"Yeah, I don't think so." Raven said as her hand glowed once again. This time she did something totally unexpected.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Ravager cried out as she was hoisted in the air, by her undies, which Raven pulled using magic. Ravager dangled in the air, her ass crack totally exposed. "You sick fucked up bitch!" She shouted, but then there was a click.

"Nice pose," Raven said with a smug grin as she had taken a photo with her iPhone. Ravager looked flabbergast at her as Raven typed on the phone. "Aaaaaand … it's online." She stated, still sporting that smug grin. Ravager couldn't find the right word as she was just looking mortified. "I like to think Garfield is smiling from beyond the grave right now."

Hell

"Aw, dude, I am so fucking stoned right now." Garfield said with a delightful smile. He, Angel and Cherri were all three laying on the hood of the car, smoking weed.

"I can't believe Vaggie wants to make this stuff illegal." Angel said as he took a whiff from his joint. "It's the only thing that helps me get by on a rough day."

"She's a fucking downer," Cherri said, taking the joint from Angel to get a whiff. "A cock blocker who thinks everything fun is a sin. God damn stiff is what she is."

"Eh. I've had worse bosses." Garfield commented. "Like this tofu alien who tried to take over the world disguised himself as the boss of a burger joint I once worked at when I was alive."

"Word?" Angel asked, getting a nod from Gar. "Aliens invasions are weird." He said and looked at his phone. "Doesn't Amaroq's therapy session end soon?"

Garfield looked at the phone. "Yeah, you're right. We should head back to the hotel." He said as he got of the hood.

"I know a shortcut. But it'll be a bit bumpy." Cherri said as she hopped of the hood.

Earth, Star City

Charlie and Amaroq exited Dinah's office, with the latter behind them.

"So, can I expect you same time next week then?" Dinah asked.

"Yes, of course." Charlie said and looked down at the girl. "Amaroq, how about you go along while I speak with Miss Lance."

"Okay," The hellhound replied and did just that.

"She's a nice kid," Dinah commented. "Sadly, I get a lot of kids with the same tragic backstory." She revealed, looking down in sorrow.

"So I've heard. Beast Boy was one of them, yes?" Charlie replied, which got Dinah curious.

"That's right," She said. "Why do you bring him up?"

Charlie took a breath and replied, "I haven't been completely honest about who I am. My name really is Charlie Morningstar. But uh … Well, let me show you." She said and turned back to her demonic form. Dinah was understandably surprised, but not flabbergasted. "You don't look totally surprised by my real appearance."

"I wasn't surprised by Amaroq." Dinah pointed out. "What's surprising is why would you disguise your true form for me?"

"Because … I'm from Hell … like the literal Hell." Charlie replied, making Dinah more curious. "You know how Garfield committed murder before he was killed? He was the one who recommended you to me." She said and now Dinah was truly shocked. "This will take a lot of explanation, if you'll hear me out."

Markovia

Nightwing and Raven returned through the portal with Ravager restrained in Raven's magic.

"Wow. What happened here?" Raven asked upon seeing the collateral of the battle with Animal Vegetable Mineral Man.

"Long story," Terra replied then noticed Ravager. "I see you caught the bitch. Good." She said, walking over and knelt down to Ravager's level. "I can't wait to see what sentence the court will land on you. And considering the multiple lives you've taken, you'll probably get the chair." She stated.

"I wouldn't count on it," Ravager hissed. "I still outlived that green loser."

Terra got angry and raised her hand, but Raven stopped her.

"No, Tara." She told the blonde. "Don't let her agitate you. It's what she wants."

Tara calmed down, taking a breath. "You're right. She'll get what's coming."

"Now, how about you explain to everyone the real reason you killed Beast Boy." Raven told Ravager.

"How about you eat shit instead?" Ravager spat back at her.

"I'm sorry, do you want another wedgie?" The goth asked, hand glowing.

"Okay, okay!" Ravager cried out. "Logan's murder wasn't something out of a whim. It was planned." She revealed.

"What?" Cyborg asked, looking angry.

"I was hired by Viktor Markov to assassinate Beast Boy." Ravager revealed.

"But … but why?" Starfire asked. "Garfield had never even met Viktor before."

"It was to make Ravager bait," Nightwing revealed.

"Wow. You really were trained by the world's greatest detective," Ravager said. "That's exactly right. Viktor knew that it would be easier to catch Terra if she was back in Markovia rather than sending a strike team to kidnap her. We were well aware of her close relationship with Beast Boy and that killing him would bring her out of retirement so she would join in the hunt for me. I got in contact with daddy dearest and set you up. Logan was always the intended target. I never thought he'd kill Slade though. I could've killed him before he killed my oh so loving father. But I decided to let things play out before I did anything else. For one, it would've thrown you all more of if you thought I murdered him out of revenge. But mostly, I just wanted to see Slade's head roll. I almost felt bad for killing the green freak."

"You're the freak," Raven hissed.

"And in the end, it was all for nothing." Nightwing stated. "Viktor's plans have failed and you have gotten arrested as a result. Garfield did not die for nothing. You have lost."

Ravager rolled her eyes, looking away. "Whatever."

/

Meanwhile, back in Hollenburg, Brion was addressing the citizens. With him were the rebel soldiers and Viktor in cuffs.

"People of Markovia!" He started. "Viktor Markov has been usurped. Today marks the end of his reign and the end of dictatorship in our beloved country." He said. The was silence in the crowed as they were all surprised by this. But then it turned to cheers. "Markovia was once a free country. A land of free speech, tolerance and hope for a better tomorrow! And so it shall be again!" Brion declared, earning more cheers from the crowd. "I will take my father's throne and start the progress of reshaping Markovia into it's former glory, if you will have me." He humbly said.

"We wouldn't have it any other way!"

"We will have you!"

"Our one true king, Brion Markov!"

"King Brion! King Brion! King Brion!" The crowed chanted cheerfully.

Brion smiled with satisfaction. "You have my word," he went on, "I shall do what my father could not and serve you as the king you deserve! I will treat you as if your family! I will protect you from any threats of violence! I will make sure you will never go hungry again! I will make this country shine again! Markovia has been liberated!" He finished and the crowd cheered. Brion then looked down upon Viktor. "Your trial will start as soon as we return to Markovburg." He stated.

"Well, let's just hang him from a tree and be done with it." One of the rebels growled.

"No!" Brion spat. "If I am to be a better king than my father, then I must be better than him in every conceivable way. That means no vigilante justice. We started this rebellion to end that kind of barbaric ways." He pointed out and the rebel knew his king was telling the truth and stepped down. "Take him away." Brion ordered and Viktor was lifted back up on his feet and escorted away.

Hell, Pentagram, Hazbin Hotel

Cherri's car dashed madly through the streets of Pentagram and stopped in front of the hotel. The car was now all banged up, covered in dents and multiple road signs sticking out of it. Garfield leaped out of the car, looking traumatized.

"Oh, thank the lord!" He cried out, dropping to his knees. "Solid ground," He said, kissing the asphalt.

"You do know a lot of people piss on the ground, right?" Angel told him.

Garfield ignored him and shot a glare at Cherri. "You told me the shortcut would be just a little bumpy!"

She gave him a grin and said, "Trust me, with me, that is a little bumpy. You do not want to see what rough is." This made Garfield look mortified and he slowly began walking back to the hotel. "Thanks for today, Garfy. We'll gladly have you on another joyride someday!" Cherri said, waving at him, but he quickly went inside the door. "He's a good kid," She told Angel. "I like him. I should totally fuck him sometime."

"Careful. You don't wanna spoil him by giving him too much too quickly." Angel replied.

"Nah. I'll have some more fun with him before we get there." Cherri replied. "Well, I'll see ya some other time, Angie." She said as she get got back inside the car.

"Don't be a stranger, you manic sociopath." Angel replied.

As Cherri shut the door, it fell of due to the damages to the car. She just shrugged and drove of, honking at anyone dumb enough to cross the road when she was out and about.

/

Garfield slumped down on the couch with a sigh.

"Where have you been?" Vaggie asked, giving him a glare.

"That depends. Have you watched the news lately?" He asked.

"Yes I did!" Vaggie growled.

"Then you know," Garfield replied.

"Since it was Nazis and commies, I'm willing to give this one a pass." Vaggie stated. "But you really need to rethink the crowed your rolling with. Angel barely has any hope. But Cherri Bomb, she is absolutely insane. If you keep hanging out with her, she could really drive you down a slippery road."

"Believe me, I was pretty turned of by her at the end of this day." Garfield assured.

"We're back," Charlie said as she and Amaroq entered the room.

"Hey," Garfield said as he got up and went over to Amaroq. "How did you like Earth?" He asked, kneeling down.

"It was … weird." Amaroq admitted.

"Yeah? Hell is still weird to me. So I get ya." Gar replied. "You wanna watch some TV while I talk to Charlie?"

"Okay," Amaroq replied.

As Amaroq was watching a cartoon, Gar went and spoke with Charlie and Vaggie.

"So, how did it go?" He asked.

"Amaroq was being very cooperative. She opened up a lot. And you were right. Dinah is very good." Charlie replied. "And I did manage to pass your message on. She told me she'll deliver it to the Titans as soon as she has the chance."

"Good," Garfield replied with a nod. "God, I wonder how they'll react when they find out where I am." He pondered. "So Dinah wasn't surprised that you're the devil's daughter?"

"She took it surprisingly well." Charlie replied. "I mean, I know superheroes are used to the supernatural. But wow."

"Must be your charming eyes." Garfield joked. "So what's for dinner?"

"More meat," Vaggie dryly replied.

"Right," Garfield said, looking depressed.

Markovia

The Titans and their new friends were sitting at a shawarma joint. It was finally morning. The sun had just risen and the restaurant owner had decided to open early to supply the country's heroes with some much needed food. They all sat around the table, looking exhausted. In the span of 24 hours, they had fought three major battles and liberated a country. No wonder they were tired. They hung their heads, not saying a word as they silently ate their meals. Raven was scrolling through her phone, snickering at the responses she got for the picture she posted recently. She then decided to check the news back in Jump City. The headlines made her tired eyes shot wide open in shock and horror.

"… What the f-?"

FIN

/

Wow. This one was a doozy. First some trivia.

The following new characters that appeared in this chapter.

-Tye Longshadow from Young Justice. I decided to change his powers from being an astral projection. It's just a preference of mine.
-Dolphin, also the same version from Young Justice. She was Garth's wife in the comics.
-The girl Cyborg took care of, well if I think I'll leave it to you guys to try and figure out who she is.
-Volcana from the DCAU was a Superman villain. Might use her differently in this universe.
-Ice Maiden is a forgotten ice power user from the comics. And I love taking forgotten characters and give them a new purpose
-Wind Dragon who was the leader of the Ultimen from JLU. He'll be far different here than compared to his DCAU counterpart.
-As for the mysterious figure in the pod Shade made away with, well, just look up Project Damage…

The first song was a direct reference to a Peacemaker episode between Peacemaker and Vigilante blowing shit up. The second song I first heard as a kid from Digimon. For years I have wanted to use it for a battle scene. And now I finally did. So hope you liked it. And as for Barbara being the Oracle in this version, some of you may be wondering if she's cripple or not. That will be revealed in due time.

Some of you may feel like the supervillains were taken out too quickly. Well, we already had an epic battle with those, so I decided to throw them out of the equation quickly. Besides, I feel like the climatic battle with Animal Mineral Vegetable Man makes up for it.

And I decided to skip showing Amaroq's therapy session. Because I know nothing about therapy and would've just butchered it, disrespecting real life therapists and people in need of it. Sorry if some of you wanted to see that.

All in all, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Leave your thoughts in the reviews.
