Chapter 1: The Main Man
" It....can't be!"
Alleyne studies the face structure of the cyborg, her eyes mixed with confusion and recognition.
" You look like Superman but at the same time.....you don't look like him!"
Cyborg Superman assures her in a metallic but soft tone.
" I assure you I am the same Superman you knew."
" Are you sure you are really him?"
As Cyborg Superman nods at the Angel's question, Nanael expresses out her thoughts to him.
" Holy Grapefruit! What happened to you? Your face's look so.....different."
" I'm........afraid my memories were......vague. i couldn't remember anything after that blast."
" Wait, what do you mean blast?"
Leina questions out, realizing where the Cyborg's statement is going.
Cyborg Superman said to the women.
" I'll explain later. Right now, let's get you girls back to the Justice League Headquarters."
The women warily clung onto Superman, grabbing on tightly just as the literal Man of Steel takes off into the air.
Little do they know what lies ahead.
Justice League Headquarters
Zatanna's jaws drops in shock and she exclaims out in disbelief.
" No way! Both Superman and those girls we encountered back at Gainos are here?!"
Supergirl nods and Zatanna places a hand on her forehead, questioning out in exasperation.
" How is that even possible?"
" I do not know. But there is something different about Kal....."
" Well, what is it?"
Zatanna questions Supergirl.
Before any words could escape from Supergirl's mouth, just then, the computer screen lits up, broadcasting Green Lantern's face on the screen.
" Heads up. There's an intruder heading towards the Meeting Hall."
Upon hearing that, both Zatanna and Supergirl quickly make their way towards the Hall.
Meeting Hall
Supergirl and Zatanna rushes into the Main Hall, only finding Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Flash present.
" What's going on?"
Supergirl questions the three.
Flash points a finger upwards, answering her questioning.
" Him."
Supergirl directs her attention upwards, finding a rather large muscular figure with long raven black spiky hair descending down on a speeder.
The figure also possesses deathly white skin along with black markings around his body, symbolizing his Czarnian heritage.
The Czarnian halts his speeder in front of the Justice League, smugly greeting them in a deep gruff dialectic tone.
" Howdy Justice Dweeps!"
" Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Wonder Woman questions out.
The Czarnian whips out a cigarette, lights it up with a lighter and he pops it into his mouth, introducing himself in the process.
" Th' Main Man heard yer ol'girly pal Supes kicked the bucket. So th' Main Man's gonna take over for him. And since we're gunner work together, yer can call me Lobo. No need th' thank me."
However, instead of receiving the warm enthusiastic welcome he was expecting, Lobo felt Wonder Woman's hands grabbing him tightly by the vest.
It wasn't long before Lobo felt his weight getting dragged into the air by a strong powerful force, striking hard into the wall in a matter of seconds.
" Yeow!"
Wonder Woman rears back her fist, glaring at Lobo with a look of hostility.
" You're not welcome here."
Wonder Woman's words were met with a sneer from Lobo.
" Heh. I get it. You Justice Dweebs think yer Main Man's ain't tough enough to join yer lil' Girl Scouts group. Well then...."
Without warning, Lobo thrusts out his leg, kicking Wonder Woman square in the stomach.
Just as the Amazonian woman is sent tumbling back, Lobo grabs onto a nearby generator, lifts it over his head and he declares out lightly.
" It's audition time ladies!"
Lobo throws the generator across the room, only for the projectile to be destroyed by a single blast from Green Lantern's ring.
Flash sprints across the hall, striking at Lobo with relentless rounds of rapid punches.
" Grr! Come back here yer darn rabbit!"
Lobo angrily roars out, thrashing uselessly at the scarlet speedster.
Just as Flash closes in, Lobo spun around, slamming his elbow right into the speedster.
" GAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Upon sheer contact with the Czarnian's elbow, the Flash was sent skidding across the floor, landing on a nearby wall with a loud thud.
Just then, a blast of magic struck right into Lobo's chest, sending the Bounty Hunter stumbling backwards.
As the Bounty Hunter rubs his sore head, he found himself staring at a rather crossed young woman cladded in a black suit.
" Stay down if you know what's best for you."
Zatanna warns Lobo, only for Green Lantern to descend down from the air, contradicting her warnings.
" On the contary, get up and leave."
Realizing the situation, Lobo pushes himself up, facing the Justice League and speaking out.
" Meh look, whether yer girlie girls like it or not, yer still need th' Main Man!"
However, Lobo's words were immediately interupted by a rather metallic but strangely familiar voice.
" That won't be necessary."
Just as everyone turns to face the door, what they saw causes their jaws to drop in shock.
Standing by the door stood a cybernetic figure cladded in the familiar colours of red, yellow and blue. The iconic 'S' symbol plastered on his chest.
Dumbstrucked, Zatanna exclaims out.
" It.......can't be!"
" Well, will ya look at that!"
Lobo slumps his head to the side of the wall, staring at the figure.
" Superman!"
Everyone exclaims out in unison just as Cyborg Superman steps in, addressing them with a single nod.
" Everyone."
Upon noticing the group behind Cyborg Superman, Green Lantern gave them a welcoming smile, remarking out to his friends.
" Well well, look who's here."
" Mr. Jordan!"
Flash, Zatanna and Lobo stood back, watching just as the big-breasted Melpha sprints across the hall, heading straight towards Green Lantern.
At the same time, Alleyne looks at the entire building's infrastructure, her eyes widens in both awe and admiration.
" Amazing."
Elina stares at a computer monitor, commenting out to the others in awe.
" This is incredible! I've never seen such magic back in our realm!"
Disturbed at the women's ignorance over modern day technology, Lobo remarks out sarcastically.
" What? Ya homos ain't seen a computer before?"
To Lobo's surprise, Tomoe answers his question honestly and bluntly.
" No. In fact, we don't even have devices like these back in our realm."
Nowa runs up towards the Flash and she jumps up towards him excitedly.
" Flash! I've missed you so much!"
" Hey hey! Nowa! Great to see you!"
Flash returns the greeting, wrapping his arms around Nowa in a tight embrace.
Supergirl approaches Leina and she asks her.
" So Leina, how have you been?"
Leina rubs the back of her head, answering Supergirl's question as she stares at the floor.
" Okay. To be honest, life became rather dull ever since you and your friends returned back to your world."
Supergirl then presses further.
" So how did you guys come here? Where's Cattleya and the others?"
Leina answers her question.
" I.....don't know. A sudden flash of light struck right into our castle and before we knew it, we found ourselves in your world."
As Leina completes her sentence, Alleyne interjects the conversation with her suspicion.
" Which reminds me....."
All eyes turns towards Cyborg Superman and Alleyne continues her sentence with a question.
" Can you explain your massive change of appearance?"
Before Cyborg Superman could answer, just then, the computer monitors began emitting out a violent beeping sound.
Just as Wonder Woman taps on the button, a screen flashes across the monitors, broadcasting Green Arrow's face.
" Stryker to HQ! Stryker to HQ! Do you copy?!"
" HQ to Stryker! What's going on there?"
Wonder Woman questions out.
Green Arrow answers her question grimly.
" It's......it's.......Thawne. He's escaped!"
Upon hearing the news, Wonder Woman slams her fist on the keyboard, questioning out angrily.
" Impossible! Just how did he escaped?!"
" I.....don't know. I'm sending Kid Flash and Firestorm down there. Don't know how long we can hold him so please.....hurry before....."
And the screen went dead.
Wonder Woman turns her head to face the group and she passes them her set of instructions.
" Alright, everyone listen up. I need everyone to redevouz at Metropolis, make sure Thawne doesn't get close to the city. Flash, Supergirl, Superman, I need you three with me."
" Right."
Everyone nods in unison, acknowledging Wonder Woman's instructions.
Stryker Prison
" Uhhhh....."
Green Arrow falls slump onto the ground, completely rendered unconscious.
Standing above the fallen bodies stood Reverse Flash, fully cladded in his yellow and red suit of evil.
" Tsk tsk. Such worthless fools. Sometimes I wonder why the League even chose you anyway."
Just as Reverse Flash stalks through the rows of cells, just then, one particular cell caught his attention.
" Hm. Well well. What do we have here?"
Reverse Flash's mouth twists into a smirk, staring intendly at the masked figure sitting in the cell.
" Orm I presume? Or should I call you......Ocean Master?"
Upon hearing the name, Ocean Master looks up, staring at the evil Speedster.
" What do you want?"
" Oh simple really. I'm offering you.......a deal."
