The Innocent Villain

Defeating the Crime Syndicate

Watchtower No POV

The groups returned to the Watchtower to see in the news that Darkseid landed in metropolis.

Darkseid:<screen> people of Earth! I have come for your world. Resistance is futile. Your defeat is inevitable. Who here dares resist?

Ultraman:<screen> we do!

Darkseid:<screen> I'm going to enjoy this!

It was just a whole staged battle to further make the people believe the Crime Syndicate is still the Justice Syndicate as the Lego people had tiny minds so they believed every second of it. Well, all except Lois Lane. She had brains.

Aquaman: hey, those guys are not getting knocked off-world!

Lantern: it looks like Darkseid is pulling his punches!

Darkseid:<screen> how can this be? I am defeated?! <flies away>

Flash; did he just throw the fight?!

Batman: looks that way.

Superman: so he's made the imposters more popular than ever?

Cyborg; so they can keep looking for the Anti-Life Equation and we can't warn anyone!

Batman: Joker, we'll need you and your friends.

Joker: huh? What gives, Bats?

Batman: the world thinks the Crime Syndicate are heroes. So, if they want to be the good guys, I guess we'll just have to be the bad guys.

Joker:<told Catwoman through video chat> what d'ya say?

Hall of Doom

Catwoman: okay, leave it with me. If I can get them to stop arguing for five minutes, we're in.

ClayFace: well, I say we should try to start our own Crime Syndicate.

Reverse Flash: can't we pretend to be heroes?

Cheetah: don't be stupid! There's twice as many as there was already!

Merlyn: I think we should ask Lex for help!

Catwoman:<gets their attention> we've got work to do! Reverse Flash, Grundy, I can hardly believe it, but it looks like the Justice League are working with us. Can you two head across to the Hall of Justice and meet up with Joker, Harley and Kitten?

Grundy: urrrghhh.

Reverse Flash: Kitten?

Catwoman: the Rookie. You think you can take the reins on this one, Thawne?

Reverse Flash; I'll get him there, don't worry. Come on, you big lummox!

Catwoman: you two had better get going. We can't bank on Batman being on our side for too long. Trust me, I've seen both sides of him.

Both Reverse Flash and Grundy went to the Hall of Justice where the Crime Syndicate made their new HQ.

Johnny; we shoulda' set up here in the first place.

Atomica: I know, right!

Ultraman: we're close now! <gets a call on a phone> Commissioner Gordon, always a pleasure. What's up now?

Gordon:<phone> it's the Justice League, they're back and... and, like you said in TV, they've gone bad!

Owlman: past! Say now's not a good time!

Ultraman: I'll send my team out right away.

Flash was outside the Hall of Justice and the most evil he could do was eat all the ice cream from an ice cream vendor as Johnny ran outside with Atomica on his shoulder since she can go small.
