Chapter 16 - Invasion Pt. 2

***

Batman, Batgirl, and Robin had been walking for almost an hour, the tunnel was filing endless. Batman check the map once again, the tunnel ended a mile or two ahead from which the only other route was a shaft. The squad had to move into a second tunnel in order to make their way to the reactor, but the shaft was threatening due to the fact it was a vertical drop to the button, a fall that would crack the skulls of those that might fall down it.

They had little choice, the fact was that the squad needed to do whatever necessary in order to take out the reactor and save the world. Batman led the squad for what seemed like hours until they reached the end of the tunnel.

"What now?" Robin asked looking around at the dark. "It's a dead end." 

"I can see that." Bruce felt the wall and reached out for some sort of device as he points it at the wall. "Not entirely, my scanner's indicate strong pulses behind this wall." Batman shook his head raising his baterang and placing it on the wall. "Step back."

BOOM!

The explosion created a hole in the wall, Bruce widens his eyes as he saw the containment of the Justice League. Bruce just cracked into the production area, it wasn't sub 16 all it was an area where the clones are born or made. The metallic soldiers turned to face the squad as they charged at them. While, the scientist worked on the cloning, one of the scientist pushed a button on the left side of the machine to alert the boss in charge of the operation. As the clones were being launched out of the ship as the fight went on, Batman punched the metallic soldier in the gut and leaped backwards and threw some explosive Baterang at the metallic soldier cracking the head open as another came running towards him and gave him a punch in Batman's gut, the metallic soldier pulled out a sonic-blaster at Bruce. The soldier fired several beams as Batman dodge all attacks and retaliated with a kick the soldier saw it coming and moved back.

He sent a hefty punch towards Batman's face that sent him flying into the metal wall. The soldier stepped closer. "You puny humans don't have the power to defeat us." The metallic soldier laughed.

"I was hoping you will say that." He gets up and jumps and slimmed into the metallic soldier.

Artemis fired trick arrows at the Hawkmens flying towards her with full speed, Artemis ran and jumped off the building landing in the middle of the street the Hawkmens were still on her tail. Zatanna floated next to Artemis as she casted a spell on the Hawkmens. "Thanks." Artemis said.

"Your welcome." Zatanna nods. "HEY!" Zatanna yelled as Vernon fell to his knees as the Lantern was ready to bring the sword down Vernon neck.

Zatanna casted a spell again to transform him into sand. "Are you all right?" Artemis asked lifting him back on his feet.

"Am fine." Rex nods.

"Guys! A little help here." Ravager yelled over the teams comm.

"What's your location?-" Zatanna asked over the comm as she floats in mid-air. "-Nevermind found your Location heading there right now."

Zatanna flew in full speed as she came to a halt and cast a spell on the Speedsters, the Speedsters disintegrated with the dust flying in mid-air. "Are you okay?" Zatanna asked landing beside her and lending a hand to Rose.

"Am, f-fine." Rose grits her teeth and shook her head. "-It's-it's just a li-little cut-t-" Rose slowly said with a cough. "-i -will-ill. Be- f-fine-" Her mouth suddenly dropped down to the flash of light or some sort of beam in the sky. "W-whoa."

"What are you looking at-att?" Her mouth literally dropped up.

A dash of light flew directly at the incoming opponents. First, a beam of light hit them off balance and more began to charge at the light with full speed. The light landed in the middle of the street and clench his fist and lift his staff high and brought it down onto the street.

The staff created a shock wave tornado, which began to up lift anything in it's path. A school bus, a street light, even Wally. "WALLY!" Zatanna yelled out casting a spell to bring him down.

But, the wind was too strong that the spell didn't even work.

Wally screamed as he got pulled in and was spinning around until he finally was gone. Rose was been pulled in too but, Zatanna widens she felt herself being pulled in. She quickly placed her hand on the street light and the other hand reached out to grab Rose's hand. "I got y-you." Zatanna held her hand as hard as she could.

Suddenly, the shock wave tornado vanished a moment ago from mid-air as they both fell to the ground. Wally landed on his butt and lifts his head upright. "Now, I know how you guys truly feel-l-" He fell on his face.

The team came walking towards them as the dust cloud settled, "What was that-" Vernon began as he helped Wally back on his feet.

"Looks like it came out of space." A familiar voice said with her bolder underneath her feet, the team quicky looked at were the voice came from.

It was Tara or Terra, "We kinda of figured it was from out of space-" Jason said as Red Archer gave him a dirty look.

"Guys?-" Artemis was ahead of them she was already at the crime scene.

The team kept on talking and talking and simply ignored what Artemis was going to say. "GUYS?!" She yelled with all her might.

"WHAT!" The group yelled out as she points down to the huge pit of rock.

KF sped beside Artemis. "Whoa... That's a huge piece of rock."

The team circled the rock with amazing looks on there faces, this ugly looking rock actually saved them. It was big win-win the rock actually took this clones-out, I asked myself this question did this rock create the tornado or was it my imagination. Nah, that those not make any sense. Jason looked up to the mother-ship.

What was going on up there the clones had stop launching out, it was really a good thing it had stopped. Now, we can actually go up there and fight the real fight, Jason smirked as the grounds began to shake. "Was that an earthquake?" Jason asked himself as the rock split into two.

The team got there fighting stance already, as a hand suddenly popped out of the rocky parts. "Eh, a little help?" The figure said as his head popped out.

"First, what are you?" Rex asked as the rest of the team took a glared at him.

"What if I don't tell you, Eh?" The figure widens his eyes.

"Then, you be stuck in there for the rest of your life." Rose answered.

"Don't you know I just literally saved your lifes-" The figure said trying to pull himself out.

"He makes a good point." Jason said looking over at the leader Aqualad.

Jason was right he literally saved our life's with that we owe him a great dept, but how are we sure we can trust him. He doesn't actually look like the criminal type,  but people hide the truth underneath there mask. "Fine, let's get him out."

Jason, Rex, Wally, and Aqualad slide down the rocks and ran towards the figure and place a hand on his head and they both try to pull him out. "Step aside boys, leave the dirty works for me." Terra smirked and opens the rocks wide.

Zatanna casted a spell to lift him from the rocks and down to the ground. "So, you mind telling us who the hell you're?" Aqualad crossed his arms.

"I'm Starman." He said it heroically and standing upright.
