Justice league: Overlords - Ch 14 (read desc)

So, bet ya weren't expecting the next part so quickly. This...was an absolute bugger to edit. Powerpoint really didn't help, especially with the middle pic. There's a line through it, can't do anything about it, so just ignore that. I was up till all hours putting that pic together. Surprisingly, Kylo Ren's lightsaber makes for good heat vision, just in case anyone's struggling. Anywho, I'll stop boring you with the details, and start on the next part in the story.

 

Fire and Furies

 

Just as Lucius finished, a sonic boom shook the plane. "They're here" Zod muttered, looking through the walls with his X-ray vision. Although weaker than Kara's, his vision could just about make out three figures. The Furies. Wonder womans elite soldiers, who would stop at nothing to achieve their goal. The team shuffle, uneasy. Green arrow begins pacing. Muttering something about a canary. Seeing this, Zod takes control. He was a general, and he was damned well going to control this situation. "Form up, flyers in front, everyone else in back" He marched up to Zataro. "You are responsible for them. Transport them out of here, we will hold them off for as long as we can."

 

"They won't let us escape, this is the end" Zataro murmured "this is it, we can't escape this."

 

Huntress slumps to the ground, head in hand. With Bruce gone, it is like the fire has died from her heart. "He's right. Sure there's more of us, but they're the Furies. They level cities, hunt down dissidents. Compared to them, we're like ants. They can crush us any time they please."

 

"No!" Zod shouted, putting his foot down "We won't let it end this way, falling like birds, shot by the hunter. I won't let it end like this. Now get a hold of yourselves and get these people to safety. You'll know when the time is right"

 

The team does as Zod says. When it comes to strategy, he and Batman were the best. And with Batman gone, Zod is their best bet for survival. They form up. Elizabeth stands by the controls, ready. "Open the door" Zod commands. Lights blare and sirens wail. The air is sucked out of the cabin, but the team stays strong, protected by Zataro's magical shield. Once covering the entire plane, he has retracted it, so that it only envelops the non-flyers. Zod and Kara step out, standing on the edge of the platform. "We're really doing this, huh" Says Kara, almost to herself. "I see them" Zod shouts "Get ready"

 

He nods, and the two Kryptonians blast their heat vision at the Furies, burning the air around them. The remaining flyers, Martian manhunter, Captain Atom and Artemis rise into the air, floating inches off the floor. With a sweep of his arm, Zod gives the signal. They hurtle out of the plane, whooshing past the Kryptonians. "We will hold them here, thin the herd" he says, willing more power to his heat vision.

 

Undeterred, the Furies move closer, dodging the beams of fire as if they are merely birds in the sky. They move quickly, yet gracefully, cutting through the air, as if it isn't there. Unlike the resistance members, they do not speak. They have done this countless times before. This is not the first time they have had to cut down those flying through the air. Doctor Light, escaping with his daughter. Maxwell Lord, trying to flee to the stars in a homemade rocket. They have succeeded in the past, and they will succeed now. Artemis, Manhunter and Captain Atom, hands blazing with flame, rush to meet them, ready for a fight.
