Chapter 9

***Chris/Superman pov***

Chris was now standing in the middle of the green energy force field his brother had created using his power ring, his brother, while focusing on keeping the force field up, asked David Clark, now Captain America, "David… I thought you were done with fighting?"

The now costumed super soldier shook his head and said, "The Tora said that if you see life in danger and you can do something about it, you have an obligation to help out, and when I saw all of you on the news, I knew I needed to help… Dave…"

He then looked at Chris and said, "Dave's brother."

Chris and Dave looked at each other, and then Chris asked, "H-how did you know?"

"you weren't hiding it as well as you thought, plus I have sharp senses thanks to whatever experiments they performed on me.:

Then Dave said struggling to keep his focus, "That is all well and good, but let's catch up later when we are not surrounded by a whole lot of enemies!"

That shook Chris out of his momentary stupor, and then Peter spoke up, "Right, anyone got a plan to help us out of this situation? I'm all ears."

He then turned to Chris and said, "How 'bout you fearless leader?"

Chris just shook his head and said, "Not this time, this is the first time I've faced these many numbers head-on, I think that our resident soldiers should take the lead on this one." He said that as he looked at Captain America and Green Lantern.

David just nodded his head and said, "Right, so let's do a quick recap, these…"

"Quarth." Chris said."

"Right, Quarth, seems to have the numerical advantage, and they seem to attack us on multiple fronts," Chris intervened at that and said, "well it seems that heroes rise around the world to defend their homes, I was just in London and it seemed that King Arthur himself came back to fight." Everyone blinked at that, but then Captain America continued, "ok… so we've got some front covered, that's good, now getting back to the Quarth that we are facing here, while it seems that Superman and Green Lantern can do significant damage, they seem to have a tough hide, so Spiderman, you're with me, I think we should let them try and have a friendly fire, is our best strategy," he then looked up at Chris and Dave while pointing at them and said, "Superman, Green Lantern, you guys are on the offensive, so far it seemed that this… power ring of yours is very effective against them, so make sure to give them Hell…"

Chris nodded and said, "Alright, we got a plan, anything else?"

Spiderman then said, "Just… one more thing… we need a battle cry."

Chris gave him the 'Are you kidding me right now?' look, but Pete just shrugged his shoulders, Chris then exhaled, and a smirk came onto his face as he said aloud, "JUSTICE AVENGERS! ASSEMBLE!" and they went out.

Chris was flying forward, clearing a path for his comrades, both his fists were facing forward, and he plowed right through the mob of Quarth that was on their way, soon enough, he was joined by his brother on his side, they looked at each other, and they smirked at the fact that they were flying together, and his brother exclaimed aloud, "THIS IS SO AWESOME!" as he made a construct of a drill around him, and went right through a hoard of Quarth that came their way.

He saw several Mech units train their weapons on them, so he fired up his heat vision and melted them away, along with the pilots inside.

It was a matter of life or death, so in this case, he didn't have any qualms about killing them.

As he was fighting them, he saw Pete in the corner of his eye jumping and dodging the Quarth attacks, he even webbed up one of the mech's Visors, impairing its vision, and soon after in the confusion, the mech shot at it's comrades.

Peter was able to seriously dent a mech by punching him straight, but that hurt his hand, so he opted to just use his momentum at webbing them and then tripping them, or even just straight up holt them long enough for another mech to finish them, again by his chaos making.

All in all, Chris admitted that David's tactic was working great so far, but compared to the massive number the Quarth had, they were barely making a dent in their numbers.

But then something unexpected happened, Chris saw a blur in front of him, and then several Quarth troopers were flung to the sides, he heard a battle cry being shouted, and when he looked, his eyes widened in shock.

It was a tall fit woman, with olive-shade skin, and black hair, and when he had caught a glimpse at her furious eyes, they were so blue you could've believed they were taken from the sky, she wore an outfit that was similar to wonder woman, but it was different, it was crimson red with touches of silver on it, other than the whole Wonder Woman look to her, she seemed familiar to Chris, but then he remembered, he had seen her at the convention, she was talking with his brother just a few moments before the two hawks crash-landed through the roof.

But now he noticed that she had a sword and shield on her, as opposed to before when she didn't have them at all.

She was decapitating a Quarth's head when Chris decided to help her out by firing his heat vision at a bunch of them, killing them on the spot.

Then he was quickly next to the Wonder Woman wannabe and they were back-to-back, Chris noticed that she noticed him using his super senses, and then through slashes and blocking she said, "You! I've been looking for you…"

Chris was firing his heat vision at an approaching Quarth soldier and said, "Well now you found me! You can call me Tal-Ar, and you are?"

Just then a mech pointed his guns at them, and she quickly blocked using her shield, and then said, "Diana Meave, of Paradise Island!"

Chris was shocked at that, but then asked, "Let me Guess… Queen Hippolyta's daughter?"

She answered, and she seemed surprised at that and said, "Yes… how'd you know that?"

"Lucky guess, but we can talk about that later! Do you have any ideas on how we can stop these guys?"

"well so far they seem to be stopped by purely physical forces, nut they do seem to have endless numbers, I would suggest a large-scale attack to buy us some breathing room."

Chris then had an idea, and called out, "I have just the thing, get down on the ground, plug your ears, and open your mouth real wide."

She looked at him confused for a moment and then asked, "What are you…?"

"JUST TRUST ME ON THIS!"

And she quickly did as she was told, then Chris pulled back both his arms, and then brought them together in a thundering clap, resulting in a shockwave that knocked every Quarth, both meched and otherwise at least half a block away.

When they were done, for a moment Chris heard a little ringing in his ears, but then he felt a little each and it was gone, he took several deep breaths and then turned around to his new ally, and she stood there, astonished, and asked, "if you could have done this all this time, why haven't you done this before?"

He looked at her, scratching the back of his head, and said, "Well this was the first time trying this move, and honestly it took a lot out of me, so I think we should formulate a proper plan before we move forward on stopping this invasion."

She just nodded her head and said, "I couldn't agree more, now do you have any other allies to call on? Or is it just the two of us?"

Chris smirked and said, "I think it's time you've met the rest of us." Then he extended his hand for her to take and asked her, "Can you fly? Or do you need a lift?"

She tilted her head in confusion and asked, "What is this "lift" you speak of?" as she grabbed his hand, he rubbed the back of his head and said, "Never mind, now grab on tight."

He felt her do just that, and then blasted off to the sky toward the rest of his team that were still fighting before he could land them safely, he felt the Amazon loosening her grip on him and dropping in the middle of the fight, both spiderman and Captain America were shocked at the sight but then noticed that she was friendly as she was starting to take out Quarth sentries by the droves.

Chris soon landed next to them and called out, "Spiderman! Captain America! Get down on the ground, plug your ears, and open your mouth real wide."

They didn't even question him, and he repeated the same move as before, he was weaker since he was still recovering, but it still knocked the Quarth soldiers out, after both Pete and David got back up and looked at him wide-eyed, and then ad Diana, then Pete asked, "you man why didn't you do that before? And what's with the Wonder Woman look alike?"

Chris shrugged and said, "Today was the first time I've tried this move, and it took a lot out of me, this was my second time and it was much weaker by comparison. And as for our resident Amazon…" he said the last part by gesturing with his hand to Diana.

She placed her hand on her chest and said, "I am Diana Meave of Paradice Island, It's an honor to meet you all." And she bowed her head just a little.

Chris didn't need X-ray vision to know that Pete's eyes were now wide as saucers, and then Pete said, "You're kidding right? Like Wonder Woman Diana?"

She looked at him, confused, and said, "I don't know who this Wonder Woman you speak of is, though since coming to this land I have heard several people calling me that would you care as to tell me why?"

Before they could answer her question, Superman Raised his hand and said, "Later, this is a very big topic to go through, and right now we don't have the time for it."

Everyone just nodded their head, and then Dave swooped down from the sky, and he had a construct of a bubble next to him, and in it, was a man with green and Bronze Armor, Dave looked at everyone, and said, "So I just took care of the legion in the Bronx, and I noticed that there were these two massive booms, so I picked up our resident… Aqua...Mariner? no worries we'll workshop that name later, or Not, Aqua-Mariner sounds cool…" he trailed off as he looked at Diana and said, "Hey… I know you… didn't you talk to me at Comic-Con earlier?" 

She nodded her head in affirmation, and then turned toward Chris and asked, "Is that everyone here?"

Chris Just nodded his head, and then she said, "I think there are another four that should be joining us soon."

Chris looked at his brother, confused, and said, "I think this is all of us here Ma'am."

She looked at him and said, "But… the prophecy spoke of ten champions to save the world in its time of need."

Now she had all of their attention, and Dave spoke up, "ok, I think you should clue us in on what's going on."

She exhaled before explaining and said, "ok, before I came to the world of man, the oracle revealed unto me a prophecy long forgotten, "when the earth will be invaded by creatures from the stars, ten champions will rise up to save it, three of them are from the stars, one from the realm of gods, another a king long forgotten, another is the king of Atlantis, one representative of the Amazons," at the point she pointed to herself, and then continued, "and the rest are from the earth given powers by strange circumstances."

They all looked at each other and then the Atlantean spoke, "You are Princess Diana of the Amazons correct?"

She nodded her head and then Pete exclaimed, "Oh come on! No way this is real! At least with Superman over here, I get it, with his special circumstances, but what is it with "Diana Of Themyscira" over here? The next thing she's going to say is that the Greek gods made her out of clay."

At that, she turned her head towards him and said, "What did you say?" she came close to his face, and asked him again, this time a little more aggressively, spiderman was quick to raise his hands in the air and say, "Hey there! All I said, was that Wonder Woman, a fictional comic book character was created by the Greek gods out of clay, or at least it used to be that until they basically changed that recently to her being the daughter of Zeus…"

She stepped back, her hand covering her mouth in shock, and she said, "So he made it back…"

Chris was curious so he asked, "Who?"

She just said, "A man that washed up on our shores long ago, I met him then, he was young, said his name was William Moulton Marston, I told him my name and that the gods made me out of clay but that part was a gest…"

Chris' brows shot up in astonishment, if what this woman was implying was true, it meant that she was the inspiration for the Wonder Woman comic book they grew up on.

He quickly scanned Peter under his mask, and by his expression, it seemed he came to the same conclusion.

Just then the Atlantean said, "Well I like to see land-dwellers aghast as much as the next guy, but I think they are starting to wake up."

Then he turned towards Chris, and asked him, "Superman, what is our plan of attack?"

He was About to answer when his super-hearing picked up the sound of something screaming in pain, he let his gaze follow the sound, and it landed on the mothership, right above their heads.

He then said, "Alright, this is how it's going to be, lantern, Spidy, and Wonder-Woman, your team alpha, your job is to take out as many of these as possible, Captain, Aqua-Mariner and you are to make sure none of them are hurt, step in only if you have to."

Then Dave grabbed Chris by the arm and asked, "And what about you?"

He pointed up and said, "Me? I'm going to look for the get out of our planet button right up there."

And after they nodded their heads, he said, "Justice Avengers! Spread out!" as he blasted up breaking the sound barrier several times over, in fact, he even started to glow a little, as if he was igniting the atmosphere in his wake.

 

***Mandulian pov- fortress***

Mandulian was standing next to the lying body of his father, he was now cleaned up, and he looked so at peace that one could be mistaken as to thinking he was merely asleep.

Then Mandulian heard footsteps approaching him and saw three figures, it was a small human female, and elder by the looks of it, accompanied by a male, also an elder, and a young female of different skin color, these humans were intriguing he had to admit, how they came in varying colors and shapes, of course, the hawks did as well, but not to the degree humans did, and underneath their feathers they were all looking the same.

The three came next to him and stood in respectful silence, they didn't say a word, he was the one to speak first and said, "My father was a great hawk, a strong leader the alliance could depend on, now? I have to step in his place."

He then heard the male speak and say, "Not an easy task, that is for sure, considering you are still injured.

He just shook his head and said, "Actually, the medical crones here healed me right up, if I wanted you, I could go right back out there."

Then the elder female asked, "Then what is stopping you?"

His head just dropped down and he said, "I'm scared, I'm scared what if I let him down, if I fail it means the end of the alliance, and I have to let them know about the earth and Its people, and-"

But then he stopped, as his face was cupped by the small elder woman, and said, "If that is what is scaring you, then I'm afraid you've already failed him if you let fear dictate what you will do for the rest of your life, then you have already failed your father, but most importantly yourself, whenever our son was scared we always told him that he just needed to take a moment to breath, even if it felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders."

And did it work? How did he turn up?"

The elder female smiled and said, "You tell us, He's the one who saved your life."

His eyes widened at that, and he asked, "Your son is the Viltronian?"

They nodded their head and said, "Yes, even though we didn't birth him, he is our son, now I believe your father would say the same things we did if he could."

Mandulian straightened his posture and said, "Thank you, now if you'd please allow me…" he said that last part by pointing at the way, and they obliged him as he quickly made his way to where his things were being kept.

He quickly put his ring back on, along with his helmet, and had his energy mace, as he was geared up, he looked at his ring and spoke, "Ring change password."

"reason for the change Ring bearer Mandulian?"

He just looked on, and said, "I'm feeling inspired, need a little change."

"Understood, please speak the new password."

He placed the ring closer to his Bick, and then remembering what the new ring bearer said, he spoke up, "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight, let those who worship evil's might, Beware my power, Green Lanter's light!"

It took a few moments, but then it spoke, "New password change successfully."

Then his body was covered in a thin green aura, and he flew off toward the location of the Viltronian to assist him in the battle that was already raging on.

***Chris/Superman pov- Quarth mother ship***

Chris had burst through the first floor of the alien mother ship, and alarms were already blaring, he saw two guards looking at him and he sped off and punched both of them in the chest that they both flew off to the walls, now that he was there, the screams he heard were sounding more animalistic than anything.

He flew fast, his cape was billowing in the wind he left behind him.

Then he arrived at the source of the screams and growls he heard and saw two Quarth, holding something that awfully reminded him of a cattle prod, only this one would have killed a regular cow with the amounts of electricity it was emitting.

And then they used it to interrogate whatever was in there, and one of them spoke up, "Just let us know what we want and this will all be over, tell us how many forces you have? Are working with the alliance?"

Chris didn't let them finish their line of questioning, by punching both of their heads with enough force that they exploded in a show of yellow blood and gore.

Chris was wiping his hands off and said, "Well then.. that is the end of these tw-"

But he cut himself off as he saw who they were interrogating, it was a large humanoid panther, it seemed to have silver around his neck, but on closer inspection, it was actually grafted to his fur.

His two massive arms were spread to the sides and were engulfed in massive irons, then Chris looked closer at the creature and asked, "Who are you? And what happened to you?"

The panther-like man coughed up blood and said, "Name's Da'moor, I am what you might call an Appoplexian p, I was caught by these Quarth here for doing nothing but minding my own business, that and busting a few of them up when I saw they were talking about how they beat up the alliance, I don't care for them, not one bit."

Chris then said, "Well then, we have that in common, have you ever heard the expression 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'?"

The Panther nodded his head and said, "I have heard of saying much similar to it, if you let me out of these restraints, I'll show how good of a friend I could be…" he let that last sentence hang in the air, and Chris nodded his head and said, "good, now stay still, I don't want to accidentally hurt you."

Then he put his hands on his restraints and griped them hard enough that they actually started to bend, and then he pulled back his arms and ripped one of his shackles open to reveal a black-furred hand with silver lining on the forearm, and a big single silver claw on the wrist.

Chris was about to rip the other one open when Da'moor raised a hand and said, "I can manage from here." He then proceeded to grab the other shackle, and with a flex of his muscles, he tore it wide open.

Chris was honestly impressed by that display of strength, for a none Viltronian that is, then he started to sniff the air, and his ear twitched in one direction, and soon enough his whole body did as well.

"If you want to finish this, I can hear their main engine that way and their main bridge is that way," he pointed in a different direction altogether, and then the Panther man turned towards Chris, he scratched his chin in contemplation, but then said, "Main engine room probably has some mechanism that can force them out of the earth and back where they came from right?"

And for the first time since this whole mess had started, Chris had felt sorry for the Quarth, because now the panther man was smirking, and he said, "Oh yeah, just leave that part to me, my friend."

Chris smirked back and then went to grab a hold of the Panther man and said, "Hold on, It's going to be a bumpy ride."

As Chris was taking a good hold of Da'moor, the Panther man scuffed and said, "Oh this is nothing! I've faced down wors-" but he never got to finish that part as Chris blasted off towards the main engine room, using his own super-senses to navigate the maze-like corridors that is the Quarth mother-ship.

They soon arrived, and Chris had put the Appoplexian down on the ground, to his credit, he didn't fall down right away, he was just leaning on his feat catching his breath, and after he did that, he looked at Chris, and asked, "you don't happen to be a Viltronian by any chance?"

Chris's brows rose up and he said, "Yeah, how'd you know that?"

He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Educated guess, now all Quarth ships are connected to their homeworld, so if we damage that one very important thing, they have a protocol that would automatically teleport the ship along with any living and none damaged Quarth back to their Homeworld."

Chris was surprised at this, and asked, "Really? How does that work?"

Before the tiger man could answer, they heard the sounds of struggle, and then the door burst open, and through came a winged creature, at first Chris didn't recognize it, but then he quickly scanned it, and saw it was the same humanoid Hawk creature he rescued earlier today.

He quickly looked at them, and then said, "Tal-Ar, if you continue with your plan, the entire earth will be destroyed."

(A/N hey there everyone! I am back with another chapter!
