48 Starling city

-Narrator pov -

As small battles were waged in several different cities small groups of White Martians would travel back to the portal to report to their leader. Plans were being made for a real full-scale invasion one no one will be prepared for.

Intel was being gathered about each different city, their weaknesses, importance, and most importantly who was guarding them.

When the order first approached the white Martians they almost got killed out of pure surprise that they would attack them so readily.

What convinced the Martian leader was that the order said they could help defeat two of the most important defenders of earth.

Superman and Azreal.

They simply overlooked people like Batman and green arrow, as well as the flash simply because Azreal and Superman showed more strength and they have killed most of the Martians.

As preparations were becoming complete, a battle that will mark the face of the earth forever was drawing near.

A battle where the less informed thought that God himself acted.

"Gahhh!"

"Argh!"

The hazardous breathing of someone could be heard under the streets of metropolis more specifically the sewers.

A man lay against the hard concrete walls trying his hardest to stay awake, allies of his were surrounding him but, they were either passed out or dead.

His phone was broken and he didn't have a way to contact Lucas, he felt helpless.

A rat scurried by, and the man's hand shot out grabbing the rat, *screee!* his fangs tore into the disgusting animal as he drained it of blood

*tap*

The sound of footsteps could be heard echoing around the sewers, the man turned his head to see three figures dressed in white robes with golden outlines.

They stopped before him and laughed, "hahaha! To think you would seem so weak now,"

The man winced but stared back definitely, "just kill me," he rasped

His mouth said one thing but his body another, they could tell the vampire was ready to fight.

"We won't this time, some rather distasteful members of the order are doing something that they never should do. Creating chaos, their goals are similar to ours but instead of balance they seek to control everything. Even allying themselves with the aliens invading our home," the apparent leader spoke

"What do you want," The vampire wheezed as he felt one of his bones crack into place

A heavy sigh left the order leader's mouth, "it pains me to say this but, I propose we ally ourselves to deal with this threat. There is no order without chaos but, there should never be too much chaos, and right now chaos is all over the world,"

"Haa, deal,"

"Then as Caliban the high priest of the order vessel of Arion, I seal our deal as well as our fate for this battle," the now-recognized Caliban said

"Atlantian?"

"Half, now heal up Andrew Bennet we have a world to save,"

-Break-

*fwwooom!* an arrow sailed through the air toward a white Martian

*strkkk* The martian fazed through the arrow only to be struck by the second shot second after

*bang!* the arrow exploded burning the martian

*Bang!* an explosion was heard where another Martian was killed this time courtesy of a grenade

"Your lucky I'm not killing you right now!" Slade yelled as he fended off another Martian only to be launched to the side *Crash!* he crashed into the side of a car

*fwoom*

*swwooooshh*

Oliver didn't reply as he constantly shot out arrows, he truly began to feel a semblance of fear as more and more Martians attacked them.

Oliver's whole body ached as narrowly dodged another blow, only for a lifeless body to be flung at him telepathically

*pah!* Oliver landed on the ground

"Argh!" he grunted in pain as his leg was crushed by a martian that now towered over him

The Martian's mouth opened wide and Oliver could tell the martian was about to breathe fire all over him.

Ironic, White Martians can fight with the very thing they fear.

Suddenly a yellow glow descended onto the battlefield and the Martians began to scream, not only in pain but fear.

Like turning up the volume on a speaker, Dembe learned how to do the same with his fear abilities allowing him to turn even the smallest fear into a life-threatening one.

Oliver acted fast, taking an arrow he plunged it into the leg of the Martian stepping on him, pivoting with all his strength Oliver threw the Martian off of him.

As Dembe killed the rest Oliver's opponent did something strange, consumed with fear of burning alive the Martian charged Oliver like a bull.

Oliver went for his arrows but he was just a normal human, the Martian was too fast and tackled him back to the ground.

*Thud* they both fell to the ground and the Martian kept attacking

*Bang*

*pah!*

The Martian kept slamming Oliver over and over again into the ground, his head was hitting the concrete over and over.

As the martian lifted the bloody Oliver once more, Oliver acted like a dying animal and pounced.

*crunch* Oliver bit into the Martians already gaping wound

*crunch*

Again.

*shrick*

Again, this time moving his neck to tear with the bite.

Again and again Oliver bit and maimed the Martian. The pain seemed to clear the Martian's head as he went for the killing blow.

Oliver didn't have enough strength to defend himself as his vision turned blurry, the last thing he was was Lucas appearing behind the martian.

And the shouts of his dead brother, "stay awake!"

"Stay awake! Brother,"

"Brother, I will save you don't die!"

-Lucas's pov-

Stupid.

So stupid!

I went to check on Thea first, seeing as I didn't see her through my echolocation when we were close to Starling City.

Dembe went ahead to help Oliver and Slade, I eventually found her alone in an ally. There was no one around her so I considered her to be safe and I went to follow Dembe.

I arrived to see a bloody Oliver about to be killed by a bloodthirsty White Martian; this martian in particular looked savage, it had bite marks all over its body and it seemed to be enjoying the pain Oliver felt.

It seems fear can turn to madness in an instant with Dembe's ability.

I rushed in and killed the Martian but Oliver was already losing consciousness, as I fed him a health potion from D&D that I now decided to carry after the Dembe incident I began to see his injuries heal, sadly Oliver was not gaining consciousness.

This needs to end soon because now I'm starting to see a theme.

-Narrator pov-

At that time no one knew the effects of feeding Oliver this potion was with White Martian blood running through his body.

-break-

Thea stood shell-shocked in an ally, around her were White Martians but, they weren't attacking her.

They were fighting each other. Viciously at that, flames were being spewed, flesh thrown, and screams of battle shouted.

'Why?'

'How?'

'Is it this necklace Lucas gave me?'

'How is this possible?'

You see the white Martians at first tried attacking her but when she screamed in horror at being eaten they seemed to stop for a second and then they attacked each other.

And Thea didn't even feel disgusted by the scene in front of her only shocked.

-end-

A/N: to clear up any confusion, the martians attacking thea showed up after Lucas did his initial hasty scan. Sorry if the chapter seems choppy at some parts damn Grammerly started to date my chapter and I didn't notice till more than half was gone. Idk it does that sometimes I usually catch it before if does any bad damage.

Next chapter
