Many historians would look at this point decades down the road and wonder as to why Mongul had not simply let loose the fury of War World as soon as he had arrived within weapons range of the great blue world. Many would claim that the great battle station required a period of time to charge it's weapons or to recover from the long trek across the stars that it had made in just a matter of hours, while others had guessed, and rightly so that the Warlord was simply biding his time, to give the inhabitants of Earth the opportunity to register their 'impending doom' and that Mongul would savor the terror that he and his War World inspired amongst the populace.
His reason was two fold. For a world that was terrified of his presence would be a world that would be far easier to conquer. And of course, he had to offer terms of surrender, not that he intended to spare any of primitives anyway, that was not an option for Mongul. Sitting upon his command throne, hands resting over it's arms, he turned to one of bridge drones. “Broadcast our frequency across the entire planet.”He ordered. Leaning back in his throne, Mongul spoke for all of the world to hear.
“The end is here. Your world will burn. If you hope to spare yourselves from destruction, you will surrender Superman to me. You have one solar cycle to decide.”
Luthor listened carefully to Amanda Waller as he exited the elevator that lead to his private lab in the Sub-Basement of LexCorp Tower. He stood on a platform that docked with his powered suit, then suddenly from the floor and ceiling metal panels opened to remove Luthor’s armor from his body and place it temporarily on a storage rack near by. The communications system in his suit was synced with the rest of his lab, so he didn’t need the suit to continue to speak with Amanda Waller. Walking briskly, he approached a nearby desk of his where he was doing research of his own prior to events happening today, as he spoke to Waller.
“Another alien? Similar to the one called Darkseid? No matter, I have no doubt whatever, so called ‘heroes’ or ‘mavericks’ are going to come out of the wood work due to these developments. Anyone associated with the Justice League, or what remains of the League itself isn’t going to help me, or you so we cannot depend on them. That however doesn’t mean you or me can't...convince them otherwise.”
At that moment, Luthor opened a research file named ‘Chiroptera', and immediately a series of images appeared on his desktop.
“Just because they won’t help us, doesn’t mean they can’t help at all. We should focus on anyone else outside the League or any other non-sanctioned organization. Not to mention current events can play in both of our favors.“ Pausing for a moment to catch his thoughts and strategize.
“Obviously we need anyone that is capable of space flight, or any other means of travel at that distance. Same with any technology that has those capabilities. I’m not sure if my…previous associates…are going to be able to help out this time. No matter, I’ll find what I can. It would also help if you have intel on anyone else you have your eye on. Not to mention your tea..” LexCorp’s Tower proximity alarm went off as Luthor was speaking; indicating that security in the tower while it was in lock down mode had been breached. Getting up from the desk and computer, Luthor ran to the storage rack that had his power armor hanging on it, as he began to put on manually, still talking to Waller but this time shouting.
“LexCorp Tower has been breached by someone or something. Keep me informed. Luthor out!” As soon as armor was on, locked in, and powered up he walked to into the same elevator he came in. Holding out his forearm infront of him, a interactive holographic projected interface and screen came out of it showing a layout of LexCorp Tower, a blinking red dot could be seen in the lobby area of where the intruder was currently. Speaking out loud, Luthor said, “Activate automated security systems. Stay in concealment mode on standby. Disengage concealment if the intruder tries to move anywhere else in the building. Or tries to leave.“ “Acknowledged Mr. Luthor” an automated electronic voice chimed out at him. Then using the same interface he began to override the elevator controls, and operated the elevator without physically touching the buttons on the elevator panel itself, overclocking its programmed speed restrictions and closing its doors.
Within seconds, Luthor speedily arrived at the lobby level. As the elevator doors opened, he walked out and noticed an unconscious security guards, and a completely destroyed front lobby desk with a female ‘receptionist’ pinning down the intruder by the throat. Luthor walked over to the desk calmly then looked down at the intruder with discontent, speaking with contempt.
“If I were you, I would start talking very quickly, and to the point. I have very little time to waste, and I don’t appreciate uninvited guests in my building. Or anyone attempting to redecorate it! You have 30 seconds to speak before something unfortunate happens.”

As She listened to Luthor, and all that he has to say, she nodded along with him. Some of the points he made were on point and exact! When he made the point of "Her Team" but he was suddenly cut off in mid sentence as something seemed to be happening at the moment where Luthor was located. When the transmission shut off. She turned to one of her agents and said "Well it seems Lex has his own issues at the moment but I am sure He shall deal with whatever emergency he has and rise to the occasion and help defend this planet. She then pressed a device on her desk and a video feed appeared on one of the many screens before her showing an unknown location where she had many meta and non-meta humans of particular talents. She looked over the video feed of some of the captured people and smiled to herself.She then looked up at one of her own meta-human agents and said "Well I see you and your fellow personnel have done good with the acquirement of those who I requested be captured and contained. Good...now we can move into phase two. There may be others added to this mix but for now these men and women will do nicely. Perhaps this Squad of nothing to lose men and women can accomplish what the so-called heroes can't do. So let's get them ready. I shall be heading to that location shortly to advise them of their situation and why they are all there. Now has the Martian contacted us yet? I need him here now! It seems Mongul is as arrived and is demanding Superman be turned over. We need to find Superman or figure something else out while we use that time to be able to build a force to confront Mongul. Amanda Waller continued to look at the video feed of the rag-tag group of men and women she had contained at her unknown location and she smiled
If you want to know what Amanda Waller is referring to when she said "This Squad" then take a peek at at currently going on role play titled "Kicked In The Teeth" http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php/?t=24811133&page=last check it out and view the story line, it just started and its a good one

Sara traded a glance over to Oliver, then off towards tall, dark and serious. Waiting for his explanation to finish, "Then what are we waiting for? Time's wasting. We may not be able to gain back, what precious time we've already lost." Glancing back over at Oliver, "Do you happen to have his number on speed dial? Or do we need to reach out and touch someone who has another way of contacting Mr. Palmer." Sara was making a reference regarding, Felicity Smoak.
The Emerald Arrow
Oliver sighed, knowing Sara had made up her mind. "You're right. Besides we might need all the numbers we can get. We were discussing plans for this situation. You care to fill her in?" Ollie gestured towards Batman then.
"What about the others? Or is this your first stop?"
Nocturnal Vigilante
He thought highly of their decision to join on. It would be an even smaller resistance force without their help. A skilled martial arts and the best archer he knows. Batman stepped forward, joining them in their conversation. "The basic run-down. Most of the Justice League is currently discharged or signed on with the government. Lex will most likely be leading whatever that team is and with their kind of funding, they'll have plenty of resources at their disposal. I want nothing to do with them but in the end, when Mongul arrives, we're fighting on the same side." The metallic gauntlet moved around some, opening keys and revealing a touch pad. A small holographic mini-map showed in front of the three. "This is what we have. Only Superman, Wonder Woman, Furious, and I know about this location. In dire times, now you do. It's unknown to most, I was able to delete any record of it when I left. It contains several working Javelins, supplies and so forth. As I mentioned, the issue with this is that it needs a Boom Tube to be reached; another reason why I came." The hologram disappeared before them, Batman putting his arms down to his side. "I need Ray Palmer to make repairs on the Tube here in Star City."

The depths of space were silent it seemed. As the solar winds blew past his body. The Martian Manhunter looked deep across the vastness of the wonder of the universe. He could hear all the sounds coming from the adopted planet he cared so much for. He was quite aware of the coming danger. He could hear the armed forces of each country on the planet preparing for the coming danger..The despot known as Mongul! Jonn knew the danger the world faced, and he would be damned if he let this world fall like his old one did millennia ago. As he felt the warmth of the Earth's Sun from so far away, his vision picked up a familiar sight of a blue and red blur streaking across the vastness of space. He knew who it was, and he was happy to see him returning to his adopted world. He heard in his mind how Amanda Waller demanded his attention. However, when he turned to make ready to fly back down to the planet. He witnessed the huge monstrosity of War World approaching. He phased out of sight and watched as the mechanical scientific behemoth arrived near the Earth's moon.While in his phased invisible state, he knew the time had come for him to return to the planet. For doom was heading towards his world and the time for a call to arms had come

Drake coughed up a little blood just to clear his throat, the robotic womans slam was much more then he expected "I would first like to say bravo on the security...." he looked at the men knocked out and back to luthor "...maybe not them but, ah well never mind bruv. I'm here to find out what the plan is here? Between you and me mate, I don't really trust any of those so called meta humans. My organization tells me you're possibly the smartest man in the world, and from what I've heard you can go toe to toe with the strongest of these guys."
Drake struggled a bit under the woman's crushing grip,just enough to get some air "We're willing to back you with anything you may need, including our top agent, and not to brag but its me" he lost his breath and struggled a bit more but only enough to get off one last sentence "Look mate if you can get robo barbie here off of me ,that way we can have a proper chat.If not just let her finish the job, she already took my car from me" He sat there in pain, waiting for the bald mans answer.

A determined Taniyah continues her journey back to the states. It had been a long time since she had been there, and never had she been there not in hiding. Her heart pounded with a large ratio of excitement, and a smaller one of fear. She wasn't scared in that sense, but had worries of what may come to innocent lives if those like herself weren't able to stop it in time. She let out a long sigh thinking to herself, "Well, I guess it's now or never. All those years of training, all those years of hiding, finally, it's time for me to serve my purpose..."

Suddenly the air crackled with a hint of mystical energy as if the very air was alive! A bright emerald and purple flash appeared in front of Taniyah and it blinded her for a moment..when her eyes opened she saw floating in front of her was none other than her older brother..Furious! He floated there in front of her for a moment and said nothing. Just looking with a serious look across his face.

Her eyes opened wide as the familiar but not common face was among her. Her heart only pounded harder when he spoke not a word.

The voice of a thousand universes echo. . . Can you hear them? They seek for the same: Hope. Can you grant it to them? Will you fulfill your destiny, Oh Hero of the Stars. . .
Kiga woke up from his sleep, gasping for air. The stench of cheap drinks and musk reached his sinuses rather quickly, kicking him into reality rather quickly. Realizing his guest and drinks were all gone, he shook his head. Almost all his 'dates' would end like this and he had just grown to accept it. After all, wasn't that the whole point of Karaoke bars? To get drunk and then leave to some place to fall onto and forget about everything?
"Hmm..."
Life wasn't as fulfilling, Kiga sighed, pressing the buttons on his bracelet to bring out an outfit; the other one would probably needed to be burnt if a wash cycle couldn't help it. As he stood up and stretched, he turned on the TV from the hotel room and tried to see any updates on the whole 'Guy with the yellow menacing face' situation. Not many seem to care and news channels would occupationally mention it as if it were some sort of rainy day with partly scattered clouds. After hearing a satisfying crack on his back, he sat down and laid on the bed once more. A shower would feel good, he told himself, but afterwards it would be back outside to his life as a wondering...what ever. He couldn't really call himself a hero anymore. He had the suit, the looks and the moves but at that point they were just parlor tricks he'd use to get a quick job or impress people for a variety of things. From the 'Hero of the Stars', he had just become some sort of underground phenomenon, sought out for a myriad of reasons. At first, he gave himself the luxury of rejecting jobs if he found them to be boring or just hated them entirely. Eventually though, and probably out of necessity given that he practically had nothing to live under after Gaki's house got repossessed, he would agree to most jobs with a poker face. Fun or not, it kept him doing something, all while he tried to keep what little he could.
Kiga stared at his bracelet, the blue orb embedded on it reflecting light and his face. He looked so... old. He felt old and that was something! What had happened? Had it really been him loosing his old home at his dimension? Was it Gaki's ascension and now possible abandonment? Or was it because he. . .?
"Nope, let's not lose focus" Kiga said, trying to smile at his reflection. He sprung back up, walking to the bathroom. At most, he could get ready for another round, or what ever could come on his way.

Taniyah was definitely growing into a young and beautiful woman now. Furious started smiling keeping his arms wide open waiting to embrace the little sister who wasn't so much little anymore

War World Science Chambers
“With the strength and durability of a Kryptonian, and the psionic abilities of a Martian, he truly is quite dangerous. All of his people are.” Mongul's voice could be heard. The great yellow giant stood,hands held behind his back, over one of the slabs within the science chamber. His eyes lingered over the crimson figure laid atop the slab.
Strapped to the bed by it's arms and legs, several I.V. tubes and electrodes plugged into it's body, was his most recent acquisition. Taken from amongst the flocks of Saturn, he would prove to be of use in the time to come. This was the greatest amongst their people, their finest champion, and he would become Mongul's greatest weapon. Whether it was willing or not, Mongul did not care. He could be very convincing, given enough time. Which at this given moment, he had plenty of. He had of course, prepared himself for any psychic backlash from him. Having him adorned himself with a set of psionic blockers to protect his mind from any unwanted telepathic backlash.
“You will be the anvil, upon which the heroes of Earth shall be broken. You no longer need to waste your talents on maintaining peace.” Mongul said to the figure, now standing over a panel that neighbored the slab. He twisted a cylinder along the panel, turning and turning till he could so no more. Immediately, several hundred volts of electricity surged through the electrodes and than spread through out the prisoner's body.
"Long time no see Babygirl..So are ya just gonna just float there and make jokes, Or give Your Big Brother a Hug." said Furious as he floated and spread his arms wide open. Taniyah was definitely growing into a young and beautiful woman now. Furious started smiling keeping his arms wide open waiting to embrace the little sister who wasn't so much little anymore
Taniyah smiles brightly at her brother, a twinkle glistening in her eye. She embraces him with a tight hug and doesn't let go for a few long seconds. She retracts finally,"It's been a long time, brother. How have you been? I'm guessing we're both out showing our faces for the same reason...or maybe ya' just missed your lil' sis?!"She laughs for a moment before pausing,"....I know I've gone against what our father and yourself have told me, but I can't lurk in the shadows like a thief any longer. The world needs all the heroes it can get right now. I hope you can understand, Brother."

"Long time no see Babygirl..So are ya just gonna just float there and make jokes, Or give Your Big Brother a Hug." said Furious as he floated and spread his arms wide open.

The world needs all the heroes it can get right now. I hope you can understand, Brother."
Furious embraced his sister and kissed her forehead like a protective older brother would. After their embrace, he floated back a bit but not smiling anymore and looked around before speaking and then replied "I do not know why I came back. I just know something did not feel right, call it a premonition..and of course You didn't listen, I knew you would not. I mean I didn't create your ring just for you to sit and admire it. Had not things happen the way they did a while back.. He paused and a sad look came over his face before he continued "With the loss of Grandpa and all the other terrible things that happened. I was hoping that I could train you in it's proper use. I mean it's nothing like my own ring but it's still very powerful. However, I have a feeling that you have taught yourself much without my help and judging from what you said, I can sense something has happened. So tell me all you know and what is going on. If it's that dire then we need to prepare. So tell me everything Taniyah."
What time they had left to gather forces was diminishing. They've been spending too much time here as is. He stepped passed Oliver and Sara, bringing up a communications link on one of the monitors. It didn't take long to find Ray Palmer in the list of names."If they've chosen to keep them open, there's still several open League contact lines. Lucky for us, Ray's been too busy to shut his down. Once we have him we can make progress." He felt for a key on the board, the line going through to Palmer. "Atom..this is Batman. I'm sure you've heard the news. The tyrant Mongul is coming, and he's wasting no time in doing so. The numbers we have aren't in our favor but with your expertise, we could use that edge. We need Ray Palmer and the Atom. Batman out." He tapped a separate key closing off the line, Ray would most definitely get the message, hopefully getting a chance to track their whereabouts. "Make sure you're prepared, time is not on our side anymore." He'd say now facing the two.
