Chapter 8

Hello! I am back with another chapter. This is the second to last chapter, so we are almost done with this story. Let's get into it.

Multiple figures start to appear in a cave-like area. Members of the Light start to file in from one side, while the Reach files in from the other. A meeting between the two parties seem to commence. The ambassador of the Reach speaks with a frown, "Would you like to explain as to why the Biyalan temple was so accessible to the Earthling teen heroes...."

Kaldur steps up and speaks, "If I may, the Light had no idea of the importance of this temple. If you had told of us of its significance, we would have provided the proper security."

"Do not blame us for your losses. The Light has supplied you with everything that you have asked for. It is your own fault that you let it slip away," Black Manta states.

"I believe we should change topics of discussion," The ambassador states.

Ra's Al Ghul frowns, "No, no...your public approval ratings are at an all-time low. The Reach drink is not making any major sales, which you had said would benefit your work here on Earth."

Vandal Savage continues, "Not to mention you let the sidekicks, the strays and both the Beetles escape from your clutches."

"Do not worry about that. We already have a plan in action to reset both of the Beetles scarabs," The scientist speaks.

The ambassador looks at them with a hardened gaze, "So, do not question us on our course of actions. Earth belongs to the Reach and per our agreement the Light is just our favorite agents among the humans."

"We made no such agreement. I will not be a slave to some pathetic alien species," Black Manta states. He slowly approaches the center. Black Beetle steps up as well, "If anyone is pathetic, it is you..." In an instant, Black Manta starts to fire up his mini-torpedoes. Black Beetle does the same except with his sonic cannon. Ra's Al Ghul sighs, "It would seem we have a standoff..."

Black Beetle smirks, "No, we don't." He knocks Manta off of his feet with one punch. RH and Deathstroke react instantly moving to attack the alien. The Reach guards see the events and move to start firing lasers at the attackers. The small fight ensues. Deathstroke and Black Beetle clash swords. Kaldur takes this moment to run between them, "Stop. We are allies, not enemies." Both of the sides listen to Kaldur's words and stand down. They lower their weapons and take a step back to their side. "We should keep things peaceful between us," Savage states, "It makes the most sense."

"I agree," The ambassador states, "Although, I may not agree with everything you do. I will not voice my complaints for the sake of the alliance." The Light and Reach begin to speak again about other matters and the next course of action they will take. RH stands to the side, his feet shuffling around on the floor. "Man...why did that fight have to end so fast," He mutters. As they continue to discuss, RH starts to become more and more bored. He doesn't even pay much attention as they go on and on about taking over the world or something. This goes on for less than five minutes before RH starts to lose it. He lets out a loud cough, "Alrighty...this is getting exhausting. I know that this isn't when Mr. Wingding wanted to get things moving, but I'm bored. We're going to start the show now, so that I can make some mashed potatoes out of people's faces..."

"What is he talking about?" The ambassador states, "Are you incapable of controlling your men."

Kaldur turns to RH and glares at him, "What has gotten into you? You have never acted this disrespectful before."

"Yeah...yeah...that was all an act fish face!" RH states, "You are all freaking blind and dumb and oblivious." Everyone stares at RH with shocked expressions. No one can believe the way he is acting. "Ra's, I was under the impression that you had wiped this one clean," Savage comments.
