[Meanwhile back on planet Earth]
The Kryptonites didn't fight with techniques; they fought with instinct and the needed knowledge that they were made with….
More than a few dozens of the League of Assassins rushed at the ten kryptonites, who responded with grins and excitement at the possibility of a fight..
Deathstroke moved to the side with a timed roll as the car behind him was caved inwards, as the spear landed with superhuman strength, folding the car in two….
Kryptonite-80's eyes stayed following Deathstroke as she pulled her spear out from the car wreckage… While all the kryptonites were fighting with passion born from being created for the purpose of battle..
But Kryptonite-80's gaze was different; her gaze was locked into Deathstroke with nothing short of absolute focus and anger… Kryptonite-80 was not enjoying this battle, not one bit…
Her smile stretched as rows of teeth made themselves visible, as a feral smile took control of Kryptonite-80's face, her gem glowing slowly as radiation and energy started flowing to her spear from her kryptonite…
Kryptonite-80's voice came out with the kind of calm that hid a raging anger beneath it…
"You said tears? About a pink one?…"
Deathstroke noted the change in attitude as he glanced to the side; the assassins were holding their own fairly well… But they were losing, but it would take a while for the rest of the aliens to intervene.
Which means he had the chance to snatch one of them away before things became unsalvageable.
Kryptonite-80's spear started glowing in pure energy and radiation as she said… "Be happy that I am not K-100, organic, or you would be already dead…. But don't worry, I am more than enough for you…. In fact…. I will make this painful."
Kryptonite-80 aimed her spear in an instant, shooting a pillar of green fire and radiation towards Deathstroke.
Deathstroke avoided a beam of green fire that was released from the spear… He moved just under the flame and closed the distance.
The beam crashed through a building and melted everything in its way… Deathstroke, now a foot away from the alien, moved his hand as he shot a bullet directly at the kryptonite's head to distract her…
Which worked wonderfully; Kryptonite-80's eyes widened as her feet crushed the stone under her, as she tilted her head sharply, avoiding the bullet.
The same instant, Deathstroke moved his sword to stap through the Gem's stomach since the bullets distracted her…
The attack landed as a strange light was emitted from the injury… but he immediately let go of his sword and jumped backwards in a flip as the spear crashed downwards, breaking the ground, leaving spiderweb-like cracks spreading from the impact….
Kryptonite-80's form was glitching like distorted static in a television as she pulled and crushed the sword in her grip… the metallic shards fell to the ground, clattering as the sword was broken apart.
But her eyes didn't lose their focus…
She should have poofed.. A gem like her would have poofed with such damage to her light form…. But she didn't, and the reason was ….. This organic implied that he made their diamond cry.
Her form stabilized forcibly as her bloodshot eyes traced Deathstroke with nothing but one thought on her mind….. 'I will end him.'
A small boom sound was heard as one of the kryptonites smashed the head of an assassin through the wall of a nearby building… she pulled her now bloodied hand out of the building, holding a limp body of an assassin, as she glanced at the few assassins surrounding her, saying… "You organics pop easily… Seriously, we have not even started!".
The same scene repeated throughout the fight; the kryptonites received damages to their light form, but they were made to be perfect….
The amount of diamond essence used to make them made them superior to any normal amethyst or quartz… It would take a lot more actual damage to force a kryptonite to poof.
Deathstroke looked down as he felt his nose start bleeding, not to mention he had started to notice that he was feeling slightly off, feeling light-headed…
The next instant, Deathstroke rolled to the side, not stopping for a second; each place he landed into was smashed into paste as the glowing spear followed him, crushing through everything … Once Deathstroke forced a pause as he made distance,
he saw Kryptonite-80's smile widen as she said meaningfully…
"You organics really don't like radiation…. Do you?"
[Meanwhile.. at Gotham City]
Shazam felt the stone debris fall from him as he forced himself out, trying to make sure he didn't bring the building down by accident, as he emerged from the rubble with a wronged feeling…..
'Okay, that hurt a little…. It was such a good day, so they had to ruin it.'
Shazam, now more serious, floated slightly, his feet leaving the ground as he glanced around, looking at the cars and agents surrounding them..
'Something tells me this will be a very long day..'
The agents surrounded the group of kryptonites in a large circle, while the kryptonites stood holding spears, as they all had an eager expression, like they wanted nothing but to fight…
'Which, from what Shazam knew about the gems in the short talk they had… then yeah, they probably wanted to fight.'
But Shazam focused on the more important issue, as his gaze remained on certain individuals as he landed in front of the Kryptonites and the Suicide Squad.. crossing his hands over his chest, showing a very unamused expression…. While he named the members in his head:
Bane, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark stood at the front…
'So three?… no…. Someone is missing.'
Shazam turned his head as the wisdom of his powers told him he was missing something… or more accurately, someone….
On the far building a few kilometers away, Deadshot was in position, taking aim, as Shazam saw him from the long distance; his gaze locked into him as Shazam raised an eyebrow.
'Seriously?… All that distance? I mean sure, you wanna show off that you have a cool sniper and all, but that's just too much.'
Meanwhile, Deadshot was carrying a newly modified weapon that was so heavy that he was sweating slightly just from holding it up…
But he wasn't aiming at Captain Marvel, because even with this new toy, he knew for a fact that it wouldn't pass through Captain Marvel's skull... He learned to accept his limitations long ago.
So instead, his aim was focused on the kryptonites standing behind Captain Marvel… sure, he doesn't know how durable they are against bullets.
But what better way to find out?
Shazam turned his head back to the agents surrounding them as he didn't move an inch, blocking, showing exactly his stance on the situation.
'I have had enough standing aside, letting my friends get into trouble… A real hero saves everyone… especially his friends.'
So, channeling all the authority his Captain Marvel form had, he said, "What is the meaning of this!…. The situation is under control, and you all should leave."
One of the agents who obviously had the highest rank stepped forward, saying, "I am afraid that is not your decision to make, Captain Marvel… We have orders from above.. So I will have to ask you to stand down."
Shazam's mood soured as he heard those words; he glanced back at the kryptonites behind him before saying,
"I have already let a dear friend down by stepping aside not so long ago because my friend made a mistake….. And I am not doing that again."
"Those aliens are under my protection…. if you insist on this, then I won't be so polite anymore."
Captain Boomerang stepped forward with a smile, saying while raising his hands, saying, "Trust me, mate, I don't like this; in fact, I am annoyed as much as you … But I don't exactly have a choice, and besides, we aren't the ones you will be fighting."
Boomerang then gestured to the sky as he said, "I mean, I personally can't fight you….. But he can."
A second later, a lightning sound made itself known, as Shazam, already knowing who this is, turned his head, his gaze seeing Black Adam floating with light crackling around him.
'….Okay…. This is going to be annoying.'
But just as the situation was about to explode, a hand landed on Black Adam's shoulder gently, as if someone was trying to get attention without scaring the person in front of him. As in the next second, Black Adam was punched to the side, slamming through an empty building and landing on the ground with a groan of pain, as he already started rising again.
The agents and Suicide Squad looked up to see Superman and Green Lantern (Jhon Stewart) floating a few dozen feet off the ground.
Superman, with a kind smile, said while crossing his hands, "Lets try this again, shall we?…."
Across the five cities with Kryptonites, the same scene repeated itself, with different members of the Justice League arriving to secure the situation.
Near Gotham City, a giant green hand ship was breaching the sky as it came into view to all the residents below, which started a chaos among the city as the citizens thought it was an alien invasion… again.
A very old man was sitting on the bench, enjoying reading the news, as he looked to the sky, seeing the ship, shrugged as he looked down at his newspaper… "Those aliens really have nothing better to do… What was it again?… The second invasion this year? …"
Meanwhile, back at the hand vessel, the two Peridots inside were working, their hands moving, as they heard the heavy steps of Kryptonite-100 behind them…. which caused them to turn stiffly with a quick salute.
Kryptonite-100 didn't wait for them, as she said before they could get a word out from behind, "I will go down there and get those waste of diamond essence back….you make sure to land this thing somewhere reachable."
"Understood, Captain, I will prepare the launching pod!" As the Peridot prepared to move, she froze, as Kryptonite-100 simply refused her.
"I don't need one… besides." A feral grin stretched across Kryptonite-100's face as green smoke filled with radiation was released from her mouth as she spoke next, "I have noticed a certain bug that I need to clean up."
As she left the control room… the two Peridots looked at each other in an awkward atmosphere until one of them said, "Uhh?…. If she isn't using the pod then," the Peridot gestured absentmindedly, saying,
" ….she isn't going to jump, right?"
"I mean, it still is quite…. The distance…."
A second minute passed as the two Peridots simultaneously turned back to the control panel and acted like there was nothing wrong with the mutant's plan…
Disagreeing with Kryptonite-100 was one path to a difficult life at work… So, using their intelligent nature, they decided to play deaf…
They didn't see nothing… they didn't hear nothing.
(Back on the ground)
Deadshot watched as Superman knocked Adam off to the ground, as he knew things got much more complicated.
But it wasn't hopeless yet… Deadshot's hand moved as he replaced the bullets with kryptonite-made bullets that were covered in lead…
In all honesty, if it wasn't for the bomb in his head, Deadshot would have already abandoned such a terrible plan… or at least, he would have asked his client for triple the agreed price.
As he was considering plans, or how small the possibility of the bullet actually harming the Man of Steel, something changed..
It was a feeling that went down his spine in an instant, a sense of doom that was trained through the years of experience he had…..
Without hesitation, he rolled to the side, using the weight of the weapon to his advantage to change his location.
He didn't manage to see what landed as a massive boom sound made itself known, as air and dirt rushed towards him, making him take a few steps back.
A second passed as Deadshot moved, rushing to the hole that formed in the roof of the building, as he took position and aimed down.
His fingers were tight on the weapon, his forehead sweating, as he knew with every ounce in his being that the mission just got much harder…
'This is ridiculous….' Deadshot really wanted to leave… Even if he had to do the mission due to a large payment, he would have at least retreated and formed a better plan for the next chance..
But when you have a bomb in your head and a psychopath with a twisted sense of duty holding the button?…. You become motivated to stick to the plan.
Clearing his thoughts, he focused through the smoke as he saw something that, for some reason, made his blood run cold…. Whatever had slammed through the rooftop had broken through all the levels of the building, all the way to the ground level….
He didn't see what it was, but he saw a shark-like grin that was glowing in dim green light, and two green orbs staring at him…..
He didn't hesitate as he fired three times in a row before deciding to change locations..
He moved… maybe a few feet away, but by the tenth step, he heard a boom sound.
If someone was to see what happened from far away, then they would see Deadshot with his back turned, trying to move away, as a huge green figure literally jumped through the roof's ground directly behind him with a feral grin and a hand raised, ready to slam Deadshot into unconsciousness or maybe the afterlife.
It was a terrifying sight…. thankfully, Deadshot didn't witness anything as he felt a huge force slam into the side of his chest, as he was literally blasted a dozen of meters away and flung like a rocket into the short wall at the edge of the roof.
Kryptonite-100 landed and turned to look at him, as she saw him stop moving and simply lay near the edge of the roof, his weapon dropped on the ground, as blood was covering the ground under him. 'So those are the organics? They are quite fragile.'
Kryptonite-100 moved slowly to Deadshot's body and looked with boredom at him, absolutely unbelieving what she is seeing….
She leaned down and stared at him for a second. "Hey! Did you really lose after one smack? What? Can't you take a joke? I wasn't even serious with that one!"
Getting no answer, Kryptonite-100 narrowed her gaze suspiciously. A second later, a slightly less powerful smack hit his helmet as Kryptonite-100 smacked his helmet. As she waited...., she saw him not react, not even a muscle.
'He really is down after the first one.' A slightly annoyed and disappointed expression formed on Kryptonite-100 as she exhaled, making green-like gas release in the area, as her green flame-like hair moved slightly in agitation.
"Well, this is just sad… If I knew you were this weak, I would not have even bothered… Were you born faulty or something? Or are all organics this fragile?"
She stood up as she moved to the weapon on the ground and picked it up with one hand, staring at it for a minute…. 'It is really light… who makes a weapon this light? It can snap with very little force.'
Kryptonite-100 kept the weapon in her hand as she turned her head according to the position of the Kryptonites she remembered, and moved to bring them back to the ship.
(Somewhere in Alaska)
The roof of a hidden bunker was broken, as the emergency sirens started ringing, with the metallic walls of the facility turning red.
All the while, a red flash was moving through the facility at terrifying speeds, decimating every agent standing in its way, leaving them unconscious, as the Flash moved to clear the facility..
Two agents who were watching a corridor, one of them blinked as he saw his teammate go down with a sound.. In horror, he raised his weapon, turning his head in all directions, trying to understand what was happening, but a second later, another blink, and he found himself tied to the floor with a metal pipe around his wrists..
As the Flash tapped his helmet casually, saying, "You know?… You should really choose a different career… Just a suggestion," as in the next instant, the Flash was gone.
While the Flash was fighting and clearing the facility in record time, all the while making jokes and acting like he was on a vacation, making sure to secure and save any civilians and children taken for human experimentation..
On the other side of the facility, in a metal corridor, a man wearing a Bat suit was walking with slow, measured steps echoing through the facility, as if the chaos all around him was nothing of consequence.
Three agents rushed forward, raising their rifles at Batman, shouting, "Stand down!"
( Few minutes in the past.)
As most of the heroes of the Justice League deployed to deal with the gem issue… a hand landed on the shoulder of Flash, as he turned, seeing Batman looking at him.
"Not you…. You and I have a more serious issue to deal with."
The Flash turned to Batman while his hand scratched the back of his head in small confusion, as he said, "I am sure that it could wait; we have a certain… Alien issue at the moment."
"And I would call that serious."
Batman didn't wait a second as he answered, already expecting the question, "Yes, everything is in chaos, but it is not anything that the rest of the League can't handle, and while the world thinks we are occupied, we will use the chaos as a cover to strike at more…. Persisting issues."
Flash looked up at Batman for a few seconds before giving up on persuading Batman, as he just shrugged, saying, "Fine by me." Then, not waiting another second, he pulled a bag of chips, seemingly unbothered..
(Back to the current time)
Batman cracked his fingers as he passed three unconscious agents on the ground, all of them with different degrees of broken bones and pain.
Batman reached the fortified door; he simply moved his left hand as he pressed a button on his forearm….. He had already hacked into the facility a few days ago; he didn't attack before because he simply was being thorough.
As the door opened with a hiss….. Lex Luthor was sitting on an office chair with a very carefree and strange smile that made the paranoia in Batman's head explode.
Batman never knew this, but he would soon realize
that those few days he waited had made things much more complicated…. And for the first time, he would be the one caught underprepared.
(Gotham City)
The area outside the Wayne Manor was calm and peaceful, with the waves of the water and the beautiful nature near the building.
It was a very beautiful day…
Unnoticed to everyone, a figure covered from head to toe by metallic armour, with two glowing red eyes, had arrived just beneath the waves of the sea..
And he wasn't alone..
