The assault on Martian's capital city moved past its critical point.
The Mechmorphs had more advantage in this war then Martians. Mechmorphs outnumbered and outgunned the Martian race, they were virtually immortals in their domain. Yet, the Martians fought valiantly without breaking.
They showed their mettle by never relenting.
Which bought them enough time for the Earth's mightiest to intervene and change the tides of war. Manhunter squashed the Mechmorphs with his unpralleled psychic field, Wonder Woman sliced and cleaved the mechmorphs, and Superman ripped them apart with his bare hands while using Heat-vision to render the Mechmorphs useless
With the trio's intervention in battle, the pressure on the Martian's reduce more than half, allowing them to take a breather. The Martians, with the shift of tides, fought more aggressively, but they were of no consequence to the Mechmorphs. Only the elite of them could even approach them, or even try to hurt them.
Yet, the trio kept the Mechmorphs at bay until the backup unit arrived from other Martian cities. The increased amount to Martians succeeded in stalling the Mechmorphs until the supers arrived to their sides.
The Battle continued for a while with Superman, Wonder Woman, and Manhunter splitting them among the battlefields. And after a long and draining battle, they managed to make the Mechmorphs retreat.
The Mechmorphs retreated into the holes they came from. The trio didn't follow the Mechmorphs into the tunnels, least they fall into a trap.
The Martian's rejoiced, and a hymn of cheer reverberated through martian colony. The Martians forgot their differences and cheered with each other. The civilians that were hiding, walked out with relief.
But the joy didn't last long.
The Martian's saw the flying Supers and they notice their appearance. They were humans, even if they weren't biologically the same. The hate in their heart was ignited, after all the one who caused this was also human.
'You have come again!!!'
'You Earthers have come to decieve us again?!!!'
'You not only ruin your home but you have come for ours.'
'Get lost!'
'Leave our home!'
'Leave!'
'Leave!'
'Leave!'
The Martians roared in anger and hate. They didn't want anymore relation with these humans. The massive psychic chant caused Superman and Wonder Woman to grit their head in pain. After all, someone of not your kind thinks differently.
Manhunter promptly interfered with attack and created a psychic shield to protect from further assault.
'Martians!' Mahunter appeared in the psychic cloud.
The Martians felt a powerful mind appear in the mind cloud{it was getting repetitive}. They could fell his psychy dominion over the cloud. It was heavy, but soft. J'onn J'onzz only wanted their attention.
'Martians, I know that you are distraught due to the war. But I am one of you, I have fought by you, and you know me,' J'onn brought the attention to himself and presented his argument. 'These two are heroes of earth, they have saved many lives and they have come to our aide.'
'How can we be sure that they are on our side?'
'It was one of them who started this war.'
'We can't trust them.'
'But you can trust me,' Martian argued, 'I am here to stop this war, and so are they.'
'We trust you, J'onn,' Another commanding presence invaded the cloud.
'Majesty,' J'onn bowed in a show of respect.
'J'onn J'onzz, I would have liked to have met again in a peaceful setting,' King J'axx said as he turned to his people. 'You all know J'onzz and his achievements. He is the strongest of us. He ended the last war, so will this one.'
The crowd remained silent at the kings words.
'Come to the palace, we got much to discuss. Bring your friends with you.' The king left with those words.

J'emm was rejected and was confined in his room for an indefinite time.
S'yraa looked at J'emm as he floated restlessly, his mind wandering about. She could tell that he was dejected about his father confining him. She was confined with him as to keep them both here and not give J'emm a reason to run around.
It was his mothers idea, which was opposed by his father.
'J'emm, you should stop worrying,' S'yraa stopped J'emm, 'Nothing is going to happen by worrying. The council know what they are doing, they will win this war. Even the war hero J'onn J'onzz is here, with superman.'
'You don't understand, S'yraa. Zion is not some random warmonger, he is more powerful than anyone I have know, I saw him in action.'
'I understand, J'emm,' S'yraa pulled J'emm to sit down. 'But we can't do anything when the elders want us to stay put.'
'I got to go, S'yraa, I got to join the fight,' J'emm stood up, his emotions running amok, 'If not, how can I wash the my shame? How can I earn back my self-respect?'
S'yraa understood J'emm's feeling, after all they were connected on a deeper bond. She knew how much J'emm tormented himself about letting his people down, his family and even himself.
'You are not a coward, J'emm,' S'yraa pulled J'emm closer, 'There was nothing you could have done in the situation and you brought the news of war for the council, to prepare and not be blindsided. If you hadn't, the Martians wouldn't have know what hit them.'
S'yraa made a sounding argument. If J'emm didn't come inform, they wouldn't have known what hit them until later. But the situation was different.
'S'yraa, I didn't retreat. I was let go because I was of no consequence,' J'emm explained. 'I was too weak to even threaten him.'
'But what can we even do? In this scale of war, our intervention wouldn't make a shift,' S'yraa.
'It doesn't matter, I have to do something... I can do something,' J'emm got a flash of inspiration. 'I can join the assault team by shifting.'
'J'emm, its dangerous. And you will be found instantly by the general,' S'yraa was getting worried for J'emm. If he really, really, wanted to do this, she would help him and assist him by being there with him.

- Palace hall -
The council had gathered with all their generals. They had all regathered to discuss the battle plan to move forward in war. They were also many Martians present in the room, they were all armed to the teeth.
These Martians were the elites gathered for the assault team who will attack Zion in his base. These Martians were the best of the best remaining Martians who survived.
'They will assist you in this mission,' King J'axx stated as he pointed at the Martians armed to the teeth with weapons. 'We have been waiting to give you your Bio-ship, but the war had delayed things.' King J'axx
'Its fine, Your Majesty,' J'onn J'onzz replied humbly.
'Take them with you and bring an end to this war,' King J'axx commanded, followed by the collective salute of the Martians.
The Martians spirit were all time high and they were ready to fight to the death to end this war and protect their people. They were resolute in their decisions.
J'onn gave a final bow to the king before taking flight for the final battle of the war. Their was not dramaticness in the whole charade, but tension was palpable in the air. The Martians collectively kept their hopes on the Assault team.
This was their final chance at wining this war.
..
'We should do this swift,' Wonder Woman commented
The trio was flying at the forefront of the assault team. Six Bio-ships flew at their rear, guarding them. They have yet to enter the enemy terretory so they were blatant in their approch.
"Let me talk to him first," Superman interjected.
Manhunter nodded. They should try to negotiate first, and try to solve the problem first. But he doubted the Martians would be patient enough to converse, after all they have lost many in battle, disintegrated into cubes.
'We are approaching enemy boarder, go stealth,' Manhunter took command of the operation.
While the trio remains the same, the assault team went camou as they became transparent to the eyes. This was an advance stealth that even heat vision wouldn't pick them up, letting most kind of signal pass though them.
The Bio-Ships also entered the camouflage state to not alert the enemies.
If the enemy knew their were coming, they would be surrounded and attack. The assault team could handle that much fire power.

*Boom* *Bam* *Boom*
"When will these stop coming?" Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, shouted as he formed a shield to block another energy blast.
He had rushed into the enemy lines, trusting in his capabilities. When he flew in, their was much of anything except the dark ground. He scan the materials found on the planet, but the ring came up with nothing, the material was unknown.
He then continued to venture further, and he met with retaliations. Ten of Mechmorphs morphed out of the ground, pointing their blasters at him in silence. Hal, being who he is, retaliated by blasting them with his ring's power.
Mechmorphs attacked, fired back, ready to cube the man in green spandex. This continued and escalated to the point Green Lantern was surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands of Mechmorphs.
They kept blasting at him with their dehydration blaster and Green Lantern used his energy constructs to defend himself.
"This is getting annoying!!!" Green Lantern gritted his teeth in annoyance.
Green Lantern created a massive bat and swept at the Mechmorphs, throwing them off like golf balls. Mechmorphs, immortals in their domain, kept popping back to attack him, They kept pushing Green Lantern towards the center. Hal Jordan in his pride wouldn't run away from the fight.
He could have escaped the siege by flying up. Mechmorphs can't fly, not yet.
Like this, the team was in a stand still. The Mechmorphs blasters could break Green Lantern's shield, while Green Lantern couldn't put an end to the Mechmorphs.
***
The super trio flying at the forefront of the attack halted at the skies.
They were watching as Green Lantern battle thousand of Mechmorphs slowly pushing forward into the enemy territory. Green Lantern was like a bulb in surrounded by moths. Even the war worn Martians felt chills at the number of Mechmorphs Green Lantern was facing.
'Should we help?' Wonder Woman asked.
'I... don't know,' Superman was skeptical of helping Green Lantern.
He was not exactly going to abandon Green Lantern, but he was still reluctant about helping Green Lantern.
'I think we should help,' Manhunter stated, 'His shield is able to stop those energy blasts.'
Manhunter pointed at Green Lantern covered in a greenball protecting him from the energy blasts.
'So, we help him,' Wonder woman asked as she brought her shield.
'Yes,' Mahnunter answered.
'Okay,' Superman agreed.
The trio dived from the sky, leaving the hidden Martian troop.
