Injustice for all Rival cried out in pain and surprise as Flash slugged her, the gold clad villainess staggered by the blow. "Bitch," Rival hissed, blood trickling down her cheek. "You attacked my brother," Flash growled back, the red clad heroine clearly enraged, "he's barely hanging on!" "He's not dead?" Rival blinked, looking honestly surprised as she added, "Damn, next time I'll have to do a better job." "Arr!" Flash made a incoherent noise of rage as she attacked. "Think we should help?" Roulette asked her teammates, her red hair flowing down on the shoulders of her gambler's costume. Vox laughed as the blonde watched the fight, "No, I think the League will be here soon enough. They'll keep us busy." "I'm looking forward to it," Metallix purred, the silver metal skinned woman flexing her talon like fingers. "Well, I think they're finally coming," Scarecrow laughed, the black haired nodding as a shimmer of light appeared in the business district nearby them signaling a teleport. The city around them was burning, chaos ruling as fear panicked people rampaged through the streets due to scarecrow's potent fear drugs. "Better call in the reserves," Roulette murmured, pressing a stud on her bracelet. Supergirl led the charge, "Everyone, containment operations! Manhunter, see if you can calm the crowds with your telepathy." "I'll do what I can," the green skinned Martian Manhunter agreed, taking up a spot on a nearby building as he sent out his will. "We've got to help Flash," Firestorm started, the flaming haired young man looking visibly distressed at seeing the blurs as both speedsters fought at hyper-speed. "No," Kestrel shook her head as the black and purple garbed woman said, "none of us are fast enough to do anything." Dr. Fate's golden cape swirled as she confronted a black clad figure in midair high above the teams, mystical energies flasring. "EID!" the Enchantress cried, shadowy energies swirling around then engulfing the golden heroine. With a blaze of energy Fate was free, her white hair shining as she smiled coldly. "You'll have to do better than that," she said. Her tone softened, "We don't have to do this, Zatanna." "Don't call me that," Zatanna snarled, "Ezeerf!" For a second a block of ice materialized around Fate, but with inhuman strength she shattered it. "We can free you from the Enchantress' influence," she urged, "just give us a chance." "Never!" Enchantress howled. Green Lantern swept down in a flash of green only to slam into a yellow barrier. "What the...?" Kyla Scott blurted, looking around in confusion. "Bet you didn't know that there was still a Sinestro ring around?" the young man with the golden ring smirked, his costume a simple purple one-piece. "I guess the Weaponmasters have been busy," Kyla said as she used her ring to sweep away the barrier, "but the Guardians showed us how to beat the yellow weakness." "So," he sneered, racing in, "my ring is still as powerful as yours!" "But is your will?" Kyla asked as they rammed together in a blaze of power. Energy danced as Firestorm shot bolts on nuclear fire, hampered by his inability to effect organic matter. Instead he had to try to transmute matter to contain his foes, a task easier said than done. "I should have stayed in the Watchtower with Aquaman and Hawkwoman," he muttered. Metallix's claws raked across B-ko's Steel armor, the young women coming together in a shower of sparks. "I nearly beat you last time," Metallix purred, "you were lucky to have Supergirl to save you!" "I know," B-ko snarled, her blue hair flowing as she tried to punch, her foes body flowing like water away from the blow. "I'm going to enjoy this," Metallix lunged in. "I doubt that," B-ko said as she flipped a small canister she pulled from her suit right into her enemy's path. "Wha.." the canister burst then spilled over Metallix, steam clouding everyone's view. One it cleared Metallix stood stiff as a statue, unable to move a inch. "I remembered our last fight," B-ko smiled, "and packed liquid nitrogen, just in case." She stepped forward and tapped her with a knuckle, shattering her foe. "You didn't kill her, did you?" Kestrel asked, trading blows with Scarecrow. "She can reform," B-ko promised, "it'll take a while, though." Supergirl raced towards Roulette, determined to take out the leader but before she could reach her she was hammered out of the sky! "What in the..." she blinked, taking in the figure dressed in purple and green armor. "You didn't think that we'd not be prepared for you?" Roulette smiled coldly. "Surplus Lexcorp armor is commonplace, but this suit has a fragment of Kryptonite for a power source." "That...won't stop me," Supergirl forced herself to stand. Kestrel kicked Scarecrow in the head, sending the scientist crumbling to the ground. "We've got to get our acts together," she snarled in frustaration. "Oh no you don't," Vox raised her voice and screamed, her sonic power hammering everyone on the battlefield, hero and villain alike. "You stupid," Roulette cursed blood running from her ears. Seeing Supergirl fallen from the sonics she ordered, "Finish her!" "Right," the mercenary raised a gauntleted fist. "No," Supergirl caught the swiftly falling fist. "NO" the voice echoed in all their minds, "A-KO WILL NOT BE HARMED." "What in the...?" Kestrel blurted, rattled for the first time in the fight. "C-ko," Supergirl breathed out, recognizing the voice. "Cylene," Roulette found her lips moving without her control, her eyes wide with fear and alarm, "that is my true name, beloved." "This is incredible..." B-ko muttered. "J'onn?" "I can't stop her," the Martian Manhunter admitted as he soared down to their side, "Cylene's mind is incredibly powerful." "Indeed," Roulette said, her eyes silently pleading for help. She looked at B-ko, "I'm glad to see you happy at last." "Ah.. Thank you," B-ko managed. "Too bad it won't last," Roulette seemed to writhe, fighting to control her body. "Warworld is coming, and nothing you can do will stop it." "How are you able to do this?" Green Lantern asked, Kyla carrying her foe in a power ring created cage. "I was able to communicate with Roulette across interstellar distances," Roulette's voice was smug as she said, "this near I can control her easily." "So why aren't you taking us over?" A-ko asked warily. "Where would the fun be in that?" Roulette collapsed bonelessly, along with most of the other villains as Cylene's voice continued, "I give you these villains as a gift, clearly they are not powerful enough to serve us. Once Warworld arrives I advise surrender...it may let you live." With that the voice was gone, leaving the heroes with as many questions as answers.
