While we are in the process of coordinating defensive strategies to any possible attacks against us, a news bulletin interrupts us with the report that the Hall has been completely destroyed, with Leaguers still inside, several casualties reported, and at least one confirmed fatal casualty: Green Lantern Guy Gardner.

Seen in the rubble was a roaring, heavily muscled humanoid creature that stood roughly eighteen feet tall, with glowing red eyes, long, stringy white hair, rough, stony-looking gray skin, bony-looking body armor, and sharp, jagged, bony protrusions coming out of its skin. It was then teleported away from the scene, just as it started to charge at the rest of the D.C. population.

Guy was an ass (on his best day), and we all hated his personality, but he didn't deserve to die.

So Bruce hits the Red Alert/Panic (RAP) button, and says into the microphone, "This is Batman. This is a Priority Alpha state of emergency. Drop everything you are doing and make your way to the nearest Zeta-Tube. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill! This is an official emergency recall of all Justice League members to the Watchtower. All Leaguers are to expediently rendevous at the Watchtower, posthaste! Batman, out."

"Oh, my God!" Barry cries out. "That thing is back! And it's headed straight for Metropolis Horizons! Where our kids are!"

We all rush out, and Bruce says into the comms, "Belay that last directive; all recalled Leaguers are to head straight to Metropolis Horizons Academy. The creature that leveled the Hall and killed Guy is going to try to destroy the school while all the kids and staff are still inside! If you can't stop it, try to slow it down, buy us as much time as you realistically can! The rest of us are on our way!"

When we get to where the first responders are, half of them are bloodied and unconscious. Thank God they're still alive, but they're in a very bad way, and the heroes who are still alive are getting horribly thrashed by this beast, and if we don't step in, they might not be so lucky to just be painfully unconscious.

So, when we arrive, I tell Barry and Iris, "Get everyone out of the school! We'll buy you a couple of seconds."

They nod in acknowledgement of my command, and then zoom off in two ridiculously fast streaks of yellow and purple lightning. A couple of seconds later, Iris says, "Building's clear, Clark. We're on our way back... with your kids."

"No!" Lois cries. "Steer them clear of this!"

"Sorry, Mom and Dad," says Elli, flying towards us, in uniform. "This is what you've been training us for, and 'no' is not gonna keep us from helping you as much as we can. Jon!"

"Right!" he says, coming up behind his sister, and wearing his own uniform. "Elli, Kamehameha, now!"

"Right!" says Elli.

Then the twins simultaneously say, "Kame... hame... HAAAAAA!!!"

And they take the Solar Chest Flare ability we have, and channel the energy, instead of out of their chests, through and out of their hands, full force, at this creature, blasting it about a kilometer away from the school before dropping from out of the sky. Lois and I catch them, and I say, "Who let you watch Dragon Ball Z?"
