Mount Justice Zeta Hanger: 4:01om, October 16th, 2010

We were watching as the alien mothership got closer, the massive armada was spotted by Batman's deep satellites. He deployed the Lanterns to halt the approach but the mothership fired unpon them, disintegrating them where they were. Superman, Shazam, Manhunter and Captain Atom were deployed next but they to were disintegrated. Batman soon followed. We watch from the cave as half the Justice League meets their end. Tornado stands in front as the computer pops open a screen showing Zatara. "Tornado...did you...?" He says sadly as Tornado replies. "Yes Zatara, we saw. Cestial defense's have failed. Initiate all terrestrial measures." Tornado says. "Affirmative, see you in the field." Zatara declares as the screen closes. Red Tornado turns to us. "I must join the League, we will protect the planet at all costs. But should we fail, the responsibility falls to you." We all stare amongst ourselves, Kaldur steps forward. "We stand ready."

We watch as everywhere did attacked. Heroes are being disintegrated like nothing. Canary, Arrow, the Hawks, flash, Zatara. Even Wondr Woman has fallen. "Red Tornado to Cave. I fear I am all the remains of the League." Tornado communicates to is as we watch him on the screen as he tries to hold the aliens off in Smallville. We watch in silence as the mothership lands. Robin tries to boost the signal to Tornado. "Our team..." Robin starts but Tornado is disintegrated brofr our eyes. "We are Earth's heroes now." Kaldur says as Connor turns to him. "So what are we waiting here, a theme song?" He says as Blake signs. "We need a plan of attack, full frontal charge will only lead to our deaths. We need to find a weakness." I translate to the team. "Earth's weapons are ineffective. And Black Bolt is right. A direct attack with end in failure. The Justice League find that out and it cost them their lives." Kaldur says as Robin pulls up his holocomputer. "Checking satellite imagery. Let's see how wioespread these invaders are." He says as a map of the globe shows with red blurs. These blurs represent the aliens. One red dot catches my eye. "Where's that one going?" I say as I point it out. "That's Superman's Fortess of Solitude." He says as I raise an eyebrow. "Superman has a Fortress of Solitude?" Connor says in shock, he literally took the words right out of my mouth. "It's power source must have attracted the aliens attention. At least enough to send a scout ship." Robin says as I nod. "One scout ship against us. We take it down and see what intel we can get from it." I see as everyone nods. "So he's got a fortress?" Connor says as he turns away, M'gann tires to comfort him but that's not my business. "This scout ship is going down. We'll break it down, hit those ugly aliens with their own mojo." Wally says as Artemis punches him and Blake hits him upside the head. "Ow." Wally says as Artemis leans into him. "Martian and Kryptonian on the house." She says as said Martian and Kryptonian state unamused at Wally. "Heh heh. Not that all aliens are automatically ugly." He says as I roll my eyes.

Arctic Circle: Superman's Fortess of Solitude:

We ride within the bio ship. The team were supplied with warm white jackets and white uniforms for any mission that would require us in the cold. Zarathos didn't like the white jacket and decided that I didn't it. Being a being of Hellfire, why bother. We stealthing exit the Bio-ship as we covertly surround the scout ship. I see a faint glimmer of M'gann as she tips the communications from the ship. "Communications disabled." She says via mind link as the ship sways before crashing into the snow. "Propulsion disabled." She follows up as Artemis fires an arrow that covers the front screen of the ship. The main cannon starts blasting randomly in the direction that Artemis is stationed. "E.T.s are sealed inside." She says as Kaldur breaks the ice and snow underneath the ship. The cannon was about to fire but Connor, Wolf and Blake were able to push it away. I make my way over as I wrap my chains around the cannon, keeping it in its position. Robin pints out the structure of the cannon as M'gann breaks it. Connor tries to break it as Blake works his electron beam to make small explosion to seperate the metal plates. Cables come out with a red pad that starts beeping. Wolf rushes over and knocks Connor out of the way as the cannons defense fire. Wolf is disintegrated before us. "Wolf." M'gann says sadly as I shake my head. "No indication of feedback......I'm sorry." Robin says as we all look at Connor. He stars sdly into the snow before turning his head up. "Can't do anything for him now." He says as he jumps up and pulls the cannon off. He almost fumbles it but Blake is able to tight him. I loosen my chains as I rewrap them around my arms.
