Superman Son of Krypton Getting ready to head to the watchtower he felt a sudden tingling feeling coming from the inside of his body and then out and around. He quickly looked at Batman, "Batman, this doesn't feel like the watchtower teleporter." Suddenly his body began to fade slowly and he began to look at his hands. "Guys I don't know whats going, wherever it is I'm going... try to track-" Suddenly his body disappeared leaving nothing but the wind to blow the dust around the empty area he once stood. In a blink of an eye everything changed. He was in a huge arena with a crowd of many different species of aliens cheering and roaring. Superman stood up tall with his hands clenched into a fist as he looked around and examined the area. He could only think of one being behind this, "Mongul" Superman tried to contact the League through the com-link but it could only give out a buzzing sound which indicated he was way out of range or maybe this place doesn't permit communication through foreign technology or signal. The sound of annoying static and the roar of an alien crowd was all that the Man of Steel could hear. He was the main attraction, at the center of a vast arena, surrounded by thousands of aliens from across the galaxy. Their cries nearly drowned out everything else, as they bayed for sport and the next game to follow. Blinding beams of light from several projectors were focused on him. An all to familiar and loathing voice finally ushered out from every corner of the arena. “Superman!” And the crowd began to quiet down immediately. And there he was , descending from his pulpit along his hovering dais, stealing all the attention of the crowd from the Man of Steel. The lights over Superman split in half, now focusing on the Lord of Warworld. “Welcome to War World.” He raised both arms into the air, allowing the crowd to roar once more, but only for a moment. “We have been awaiting your arrival eagerly, Kryptonian. The crowd has craved a good showing for quite some time, and I have had a hard enough time trying to appease their hunger. His dais flew down almost to ground level, Mongul staring down at the Man of Steel, the disdain and hatred evident in his eyes. It was easy to see that he saw Superman as nothing more than an insect. “And you will, of course fight....” He held out his hand towards Superman, palm open. A hologram of the planet Earth lighting up from a disc in his hand. “ ..if you value your adopted world. Refuse, and I'll break your moon in half and let the remains crash into your precious earth. As you can imagine, the impact and velocity would of course be extinction level. And as your world burns and the continents shatter, my forces will scour the burnt remains for any survivors and bring them here. Not as slaves of course, their bodies are to frail, and I doubt they would last very long in the arena. Perhaps I'll have them ground down into nutrient paste for the people of War World.” This he said to the Kryptonian himself, without letting the crowd hear. The manner with which he said was cold, calm, and all to sincere. “I am sure you are probably thinking to yourself, that your allies in the Justice League will stop me, but I assure that that is not the case. If I suspect so much as a hint of involvement from them, my forces will commence their attack on your precious city. Now than Superman...” With that Mongul's dais pulled back higher into the air , he clenched his fist. “... What say you?”
All of the lights now centered on Superman, and the gathered eyes of thousands now focused on him, awaiting his answer.

The crowd began to cheer and growl at Superman as he heard the words of Mongul. His adrenaline began to rush up and down his body, he knew he would have to fight Mongul, there was no other option. Superman had hoped that Batman and Furious would of caught his last words and would do something about his disappearance. But after all his thoughts passed by, he looked at Mongul straight in the eyes and replied.
"Every one of you come to Earth to do the same thing, you all come with the same ideas and the same strategy. I have beaten all of them and you won't be any different. If its a fight you want, then how about we get it over with."
Clark took a couple step back and squared up. His hands rolled up into a fist as his eyes began to glow with red heat. It has been a while since he's fought, and he was about to find out if he still had it in him to take this pathetic being down once again.

Meanwhile, back on the planet side....Child of the Star Heart Hero?She hadn't been called that in a long time.It seemed like so long ago she had tried to put that life to the side. Not since they had passed the Registration act. Back then, she had decided it was better to simply disappear from the whole super hero game,than go against the government. Something made all the harder, given the green hue of her skin. That was then, and this was now. She turned her head back towards the imprisoned rioters,and than to chaos that had engulfed the city. She than turned back towards the young man. "People are scared. Fear brings out the worst in us. And nothing's scarier than a yellow skinned tyrant trying to destr-"Her words were cut off by a great boom that sounded off in the distance. It sounded like a small explosion. Head turning sharply, followed the sound. It had emanated from above, far above. Her eyes caught sight of a glowing light atop the roof of the Daily Planet, building.She only knew the name of course, as it had been plastered across the side of the great structure. "Sorry to make this brief."She apologized,still focused on the Planet. " But I need to go check that out. It could be the start of his invasion." The young man nodded his head towards the emerald hero before him, "Fear can be very dangerous emotion, as you can see. This is only the beg-------" He never got the finish his comment when he heard something that sounded somewhat like a sonic boom echoing high above along the towering skylines. Whatever produced that sound didn't exactly leave the feeling of warm and fuzzy. More than likely it left the sensation of impending doom approaching. "It could be the start of his invasion?" Dear God! He had gotten so distracted by a squirrel while speaking with the uniformed lady before him. To the effect that he had almost forgotten about the message broadcasted on subway's radio and small televised messaging system. Could that sound truly be the beginning of what that person in yellow promised? Questions, lots of questions. Julian knew this wasn't the best time to ask questions. That would have to wait for a later date. "Right...! Can I be of any assistance?" Mentally cringing when he heard those words flow out of his mouth. He didn't come to fight, he just happened to be at the wrong place at the right time. Realizing then that there was no turning back, that he would have to move forwards along with everyone else who wanted to provide a helping hand in this desperate matter. FuriousStyles "Well then Batman I am hoping Luthor doesn't back stab Us!" Furious then started speaking command codes into his power ring " Watch Tower, Green Mist code 0010 access teleporters and bring online. 10 sec timer activate and transport all League members assembled here and any others within a two mile radius using League data base to identify Justice League members..Lock On DNA signatures and engage..Teleport Subject Lex Luthor as well..Go!"
And within 10 seconds they were all teleported to the Watch Tower Just when he was asking the 'hero' before him if she needed any assistance, she vanished into thin air. "What in the?!" Feeling the hairs upon his skin stand straight up, which subconsciously caused a telekinetic shield to erect and begin to glow, all over his entire body. The light was subtle but noticeable, to those closest to where he was standing. Standing there baffled as to where the female hero had disappeared off too, he came to realize that he was getting some really weird expressions thrown in his general direction. Breaking away from where the girl in green once was, he noticed something felt off. s**t! It didn't take him too long to realize he just now, identified himself as a unknown metahuman! It was way past time to make a departure in haste! Trying to talk down the mixture of feelings he had going on and hopefully relax the tension he felt all over. As he was doing his best to quickly try and not gain the wrong attention, from those that feared people with super powers. Pulling up his hoodie, as he was trying to remove himself from the streets and hopefully find safe haven.

"I like your spirit, Kryptonian!"Mongul roared in mock cheer inciting the crowd to applaud Superman's agreement to participate. His dais hovered closer to the Man of Steel till they were but a few feet away from one another. Mongul examined him carefully ." However, if you thought you were going to fight me right away , you are sadly mistaken. " The Dais rose to the air once more, towards the center. "It is tradition to start with an opening game. If only to excite the crowd for the main event. " He turned around, gesturing a hand towards the great entrance to the Arena. The gateway was intentionally lit very poorly. A lone figure could be seen, shrouded in a black cloak. An introduction by Mongul quickly followed. His voice ushering in the new arrival "Behold Superman! The newest contender of the Arena, hand picked just for this occasion! Jemm! The Son of Saturn!"

Pulling down the hood of his cloak, the Son of Saturn, strode through the gateways with a gait that was a far cry from that of his days as nobility among the royal houses of Saturn. His entire body was shrouded by a plain grey cloak that hid everything save for his arms and lower legs. His face was contorted into a snarl, and a pained one at that. He appeared dirty and every now and than would twitch. There was something over his chest that was concealed, but it was hard to say what due to the cloak covering him. The red skinned saturnian clenched his hands into fist, glaring at the Kryptoniann with nothing but loathing in his eyes. The object of his rage these past twelve or so hours. Memories of shocking and painful torture at the hands of Mongul came to mind, along with images of the Kryptonian and the mantra that Mongul had drilled into him over and over again "Burn...Maim....kill...Superman...Kill" He had done all he could to resist Mongul's brainwashing, but it was all for nought . The Tyrant had his ways. He walked along the sands of the Arena, greeted by the raucous cacophony of the surrounding crowd crying out his name, and for the games to hurry and start. He halted, only ten or so steps away from Superman, waiting for the word to start. Not even bothering to look towards Mongul or any of the crowd.

As everyone materialized upon the teleport pads. The Watch Tower systems came online. A Computer generated woman's voice started to speak
WATCH TOWER SYSTEMS ARE NOW ONLINE! WELCOME BACK JUSTICE LEAGUE! SCANNING CURRENTLY PRESENT JUSTICE LEAGUE ROSTER...
BATMAN 002
MARTIAN MANHUNTER 005
THE GREEN MIST 0010
I SEE YOU HAVE BROUGHT SOME GUESTS WITH YOU JUSTICE LEAGUE. WHAT ARE YOUR COMMANDS?The Watch Tower had been updated with an A,I. system by Mister Terrific a while back before the league shut down the watch tower.

Valkyrie felt a brief weightlessness when the tower's teleporters brought her on board. Now here was a place she had not seen in ages. She was excited to be back on board. Had she the free time, she might have looked around both for nostalgia's sake and to see if anything had changed in the six years she was gone. For now, however, she awaited command.
She could feel the energies of their friend and foe, closer here than back on Earth, but at this distance she still wasn't completely certain how these energies felt. At first, the energies felt like there two. Here, however, she could feel one in particular had a strange vibe to it. Wait... Could it be?
Valkyr's brows furrowed and she looked up in that direction, as if having seen something that caught her attention. All living things gave off energy. Those who were strong, strong-spirited, or who had power gave off more. So why did this aura so conflict with itself? To those who understood such things, they might have suggested one power was cannibalizing the other, but when that happened, you could still feel the powers that be colliding. Then two energies were in close proximity...
But, if Superman and Mongol were up there, who else with that kind of power would be present? Who... ? "Is it someone new...?," she asked herself, puzzled.
"Anyone else feel that...?" To be honest, she couldn't remember, but she had always thought lanterns had a keen sense of the powers that be as well. If not, it'd certainly be weird if she were the only one here with the extra sense.

The same Watchtower as ever, the Justice League was truly returning. The same empty feeling he felt every time he was transported from one point to the other overcame him for a few seconds. Re-materializing on the other side, he turned back to the large group of heroes, this group would be there to take on Mongul and seemingly free Superman from whatever games he had him participating in. Mister Terrific's voice operated A.I. spoke to them in a clear techno like voice. It was good to see things didn't change for the worse. Everything looked rather neat, even the Javelins looked up code.
Batman stepped out in front of them all, ignoring the side effects when first arriving on the Watchtower; they faded rather fast. Ten of them in total strengthens their plan to send two teams to War World. Immediately Batman got to work putting himself on a console checking back on any records the A.I. may have updated, what supplies they had, and or any offensive weapons that would help even the playing field. "Whatever Mister Terrific put together, it did it's job this whole time. We have the transportation, the fire power, and the numbers all together." He said, not turning away from the monitor. War World's expansive perimeter was nothing to joke about. Batman planned to exploit any weakness in it's flaws to make sure they succeed. The longer this went on, more it more it proved to be a life and death situation.

Ray had only been to the Watchtower once or twice and he wasn't even a Justice League member at the time. Normally he was here for business that the League needed his expertise on. Molecular warfare to name a few. It wasn't long after those visits that he became an active member and still provided his knowledge to the others. After the disbandment he had quite the adventure when seemingly, at one point, permanently down in size. All of that fighting to survive to end up back here, truly and genuinely perfect. His suit limited him slightly from free flowing movement, something he'd have to change when the time is right. "Wow, just as I remember it. Big, the stars out shining, a possibility that we could now be blown out of orbit by a giant war machine planet," He said, noting how dire the situation was becoming.
Batman brushed him from behind to get past him and down to the computers. "I'm gonna assume that's the other look you have when you've got a plan up there, although really, what is our plan of attack?" He spoke out to all of them, though mainly Furious, Lex, and Batman.

One minute the Canary and Green Arrow were located on the street level, surrounded by the sea of flashing blue and red lights. The next? Canary couldn't say for sure. She watched as the scenery blurred before her very eyes. A wave of nausea hit, as she felt a form of pressure build up in her ears. The sudden, rapid change of pressure involving spontaneous transportation, was enough to make her get sick. Instead, Canary focused on a pressure point technique, along the bridge of her nose and temple met. Cringing slightly as her leather bound fingertips, grabbed and massaged her temple, "W-what...what was that?" Pulling her gloved hand away, she watched as the blurred scenery took shape once more. No longer were the two of them surrounded by pulsing lights. Sara and Oliver were no longer in the city of Metropolis, but now somewhere colder and darker. Starting to have some sort of a grasp as to where they were at, Sara glanced over at Oliver then, "I don't recall saying, Scottie, beam me up." Stated sarcastically with a tinge of seriousness. She felt that her mouth was somewhat agape and without a doubt had a look of surprise on display. Were they in outer space?! Was that even possible???

The only way to get out of this place and save the planet would be to go through these fighters and get to Mongul, good thing Superman has been absorbing power from the sun for quite some time before returning home. So his powers are fully charged. He looked at Jemm as his appearance drove the crowd insane with excitement. The drumming noise got louder and time was ticking before the fight began. Breathing steady, Superman examined his opponent and waited for Mongul to begin the fight. He whispered to himself, "Lets see what you're made of."

"I would surely love to know that my quarters over here are intact. I could lay down in a comfortable place once in a while"Truth to be said, despite what ever sleazy or cheap hotels he had been, since the loss of the only place he could call home he hadn't been able to exactly rest. There was an actual interest in his words, peeking around with the curiosity of a child. "So," he placed his hands on his hips, examining each bit of the Watchtower. The Earth below it looked so majestic, he could only wonder how the interior would be so polluted and filthy at times. "Now that we are here, what's next? Is there really any point of coming here considering Mr "I haxx ur Tvs" comes from some other sort of dimension. I know how inter-dimensional travel works and unless you have one of those devices the Gaians in White had, I'm not sure of how much use this place will be. Then again, with rich boy over here, the sky (or space in this case?) is the limit."

Sonic Cry Starting to have some sort of a grasp as to where they were at, Sara glanced over at Oliver then, "I don't recall saying, Scottie, beam me up." Stated sarcastically with a tinge of seriousness. She felt that her mouth was somewhat agape and without a doubt had a look of surprise on display. Were they in outer space?! Was that even possible??? 
Logic was being tested and defeated at this very moment. Oliver's blue eyes scanned the area seeing the others along with Sara who too looked very confused enough to make a reference to Star Trek. Oliver turned his head, not seeing his Ducati Monster Diesel Edition motorcycle anywhere in sight.
Obviously that wasn't as pressing as them being in space but still. Ray seemed to be familiar with it as well as Batman. "So this is uhh new. Ray, you've been here? What is all of this?" Queen inquired. He saw of the technology it looked far superior to any technology he's dealt with prior. With the decor and coloring he could mistakenly think himself to be heaven. From meta-humans to magic to a base in space? To think he believed he had seen it all.

Furious was pleased to finally be back where he belonged. He looked around and checked everything out. it was pristine and in perfect working condition. Just as they had left it. He smiled when He heard the A.I voice speak out, knowing Mister Terrific did a wonderful job with the updates. Furious then floated up to the bird;s next and started working a few consoles. He knew they needed to locate The Red Tornado, he was very equipped to run the Monitor womb in Mister Terrific's absence. He spoke a few commands asking the A.I. to locate a few members who had not been seen for awhile
"Watch Tower, Can you please see if you can locate The Red Tornado, Mister Terrific, Steel or Cyborg. We need either all of them or who ever you can locate. It's a Priority."
He then turned to Batman and said "Everything seems fully operational. I think we should do a date base search for all known Heroes still operating down on the planet. We will need all the help we can muster. Perhaps you should alert Your Bat-Family comrades in Gotham as well if ya haven't already done so. I am also thinking we should find any of former Titans as well, We could really use Cyborg here now. His expertise would be a tremendous help. Perhaps J'onn J'onzz could do a mental wide scan and see if he can touch their minds and find them. Another thing, We need Wonder Woman, She is the perfect warrior and her power is needed right now. We have to be at full strength. Funny thing though, I can not sense a single Green Lantern Power ring from the corps at all. it seems as If they have all vanished completely from the universe. It strange. I can't even hail Mogo either. something or someone has managed to take out The Green Lantern Corps. It appears this is going to be like the old days, We are on our own on this one."
