(General P.O.V)

The moment Batman stepped on the ship, he instantly knew something was wrong. And no, it wasn't the cry of shock from Martian Manhunter as he tried to tell them to retreat.

Neither was it the look of stony indifference on the passengers standing in the deck. Stony indifference that soon changed to wide insane grins. On each of them.

Nor was it the fact that The Flash was trying to phase his way out of the red shadow limbs that clung to his legs. The mystic power in the limbs suppressing his connection to the Speed force.

It wasn't even the fact that Green Arrow had his cross bow out and shouting,

"It's a trap!"

No, what told him something was wrong, was the ominous feeling that gripped his soul. Batman knew something was about to happen. Something he couldn't stop.

His body flashed golden with the divine blessings Wonder Woman had placed on them. The last thing he saw was a blue energy flash and one statement that rang inside his mind endlessly.

"Ugh, Shape shifting into a boat was a bad idea Teekl. I could feel little fishes touching...what do you mean it's not a boat, you stupid cat?"

Then numbness hit him. Batman opened his eyes...and panicked after realizing he couldn't breath. He immediately removed his mask and took a knee. He couldn't feel it. He couldn't feel ANYTHING!!!

Bruce closed his eyes and recited a mantra inside his mind. The mantra was designed to test his mental facualties due to the complications in intonation and subtle tone pronunciation. He did this 5 times, ignoring the panicking shouts of his fellow league members.

"Bruce! Bruce! Are you alright?!"

He heard someone from the side. He hadn't felt them though. It was safe to say the situation had gone from bad to worse. Bruce lowered his cowl.

Batman stood up.

"Yes, I am fine."

The Flash was a monotonous gray blue color. Only the shape of his costume and features let Batman know who he was addressing. He looked back at the others and found that they had all calmed down and shared the same gray and blue coloring.

"It was a trap."

Batman stated the obvious.

"Does anyone know where we are?"

He followed up with a second question.

"Another dimension, obviously." Zatara stated, levitating.

"Tropelet su tou." There was a flash that died out without anything happening.

"I cannot breach the past the layers of space."

"Mmh." Batman hummed. "It's fine. Perhaps we..."

"Wait what's that?"

Something flashed across the landmasses floating above them.

"I saw it too."

Hawkman seconded the Flash.

Everyone stood ready. The rock to the side was smashed apart as something barreled down towards them.

"Look out!"

Captain Atom called out when it was too late. The creature, for that is what it was, hit the ground and cracked it apart. Stones and The League members were sent flying away by the shockwaves caused.

"I believe I now know where we might be."

Martian Manhunter transmitted through their mental link, adding solemnly,

"The Phantom Zone."

(Elsewhere)

"You're wrong Miss Canary. I don't believe we should exercise discretion. Savage sees this as a game. He will most definitely announce to the world that the League failed. We should get ahead on that and let the world know it was a trap! That will make Savage lose his credibility and expose just what kind of monster he is."

The UN secretary insisted.

Black Canary stood infront of a screen. The screen was partitioned into grids with the UN secretary, the President, The General and The League Liason.

"You can't approach this as you would politics. Vandal Savage is a ruthless man, he won't care that you might tarnish his reputation. In fact I think that would only make things easier for him. He wouldn't have to pretend to be fair anymore."

"We would also like to avoid mass panic."

Robin added from Canary's side. Every eye turned to him.

"How far we've fallen, having to rely on children to do our job for us." Robin ground his teeth and kept silent.

"I assure you General, young, Robin and the others might be but their skill is unquestionable. They are fully capable of..."

"Excuse me young lady, but you don't expect us to place all our bets on this... hairbrained idea right?"

The general interrupted her before turning to the president.

"Mr.President, I am just waiting for your approval and I'll have my men sort this mess out."

The president looked at Canary thoughtfully.

A few minutes later, Canary and Robin joined the rest of the team in the meeting hall.

"So what did they say?"

"We have an hour and 5 minutes left on the clock and they decide to tell us to stay put!"

Robin raged, smashing his fist onto the wall. Cracks appeared on it.

"So? The League is not answerable to them right?"

Artemis asked.

"Well, technically they are under UN stipulated guidelines."

Kid Flash responded.

"But do you think they will focus on us when the world is going to shit?"

Artemis countered.

Meanwhile Canary had pulled up a few files onto the display screen.

"Robin, I remember you saying that you were going to go through the League database to try and see if you could find something Red Tornado might have left behind, right?"

The Boy Wonder perked up.

"Yes but I didn't find anything except Morrow's old abandoned labs."

"What if you checked his room?"

The young detective widened his eyes.

"That could...that could actually work."

He promptly ran off.

"Where are the others?"

Black Canary asked.

"The bio-ship. We were actually waiting for you and Superion. You for the verdict and Superion because..." Kid Flash frowned.

"Actually...he didn't say where he was going. Maybe he decided to do the smart thing and escape the planet."

The speedster shrugged, only to have an elbow driven into his ribs.

"Ow ow, it was a dumb joke."

He threw Artemis a dirty look.

"Recognized Superion 17."

"Warning Intruders Alert!"

"Override. They are guests. April, Darken, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Casey."

Superion declared.

"Recognized April..."

The computer rattled off the new designations as a few figures appeared from the Zeta tube behind Superion.

"Team meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles..." The Kryptonian hero proceeded to introduce each of them before finally landing on Darken, the reason why everyone was silent.

"You can't be serious. She's a Villain!"

Artemis already had her cross bow strung.

"She wants to help." Superion said that while looking at Black Canary.

"With how everything is, I figured we could use some more help."

Black Canary sighed and nodded after a few seconds.

"I hope you know what you're doing Superion."

(Elsewhere)

The whole realm shivered. Shockwaves of power rippled out as a clawed hand speared through the dimensional walls separating Olympus from other realms in the Sphere of the gods.

Darkness bled out, followed closely by a huge hulking figure. He wore a helm that hid most of his features except for his ash like hair and black as night granite features. He was both intimidating and awe inspiring.

"Hold..."

Wonder Woman said, standing at the fore front of Olympus' gathered armies, minor gods of combat, war and strength flanked the sides of the more powerful of the Major gods.

The distance between the two armies was close to a mile in the grand plains outside mainland Olympus.

Kronos landed from the rift in mid air, using his hand to spear into the bottom of the rift and drag it down in a zip like fashion, widening it and allowing the first of his armies through. The first to step out blazed with a wild fire. Hyperion.

His brothers came from behind him and instantly, there was a shift in the Olympus' forces. No one told them they were fighting Titans!

"What is the meaning of this, Hades?!"

Zeus hissed at his brother.

The three brothers were separate from the main army, Wonder Woman had given them only one order, to thin out as many of them as they could before the main attack happened.

"He made a deal with...'her' This battle was supposed to happen Zeus. Something decreed it so. And so we fight."

Hades argued, his voice sounding like death.

"It's time."

Poseidon stated, his form growing larger and larger as he accessed his godly state. Lances of glowing water speared out towards the Titans, the sky changing ominously as the lances, twisted and gyrated against each other, forming into a tornado of water.

The tornado fell on top of Kronos, who waved his hand, almost mockingly and used his own divinity as well. The water turned putrid and gray before disappearing into thin air. The tornado had failed to hit him. Hyperion looked up to where the three major gods were and smiled.

"Poseidon you cunt! Come down here and die!"

Zeus and Hades both accessed their godly form. Millions of lightning bolts rained down on the Titans, shadowy limbs, constructs and sharp crystal like weapons speared out of the earth. None of the attacks made it close to Kronos however. They all withered out a few meters away from him.

"Ugh, I had forgotten how annoying fighting him is."

Hades commented.

(With Vaatu)

The feeling of light had been getting stronger. The feeling of something struggling to get out. He patted his chest on the right side. 'Not yet dear sister. Not yet.'

He felt hands wrap around his hips as a head rested between his strong shoulder blades.

"I feel like they are trying to steal you away from me."

Demeter whispered at him.

He rubbed her hands in what he hoped was comfort.

"This is more my fight than Diana's. Part of the only reason she took over was because my master knew I couldn't rule without getting some experience first." His eyes glowed purple.

"But that does not mean I will stand in the sidelines. I have to fight for my kingdom. It is my right."

(General P.O.V)

Her dad was missing. Zatanna knew the dangers of his work with the League. She had always been afraid that one day he wouldn't come back. She felt the connection she had with her dad sever and now she knew without a shadow of doubt that the worst that could happen had happened.

Her dad had foolishly allowed himself to get stuck in another dimension! Zatanna shook her head at her father's antics.

"Well, he can't blame me for trying to save him now, can he?"

She said to herself, while staring at the golden helmet placed in a cabinet woven with magical protections that had taken her 20 minutes to break.

Zatanna reached out and grabbed the Helmet of Fate.

(The Watchtower)

"I have it!" Robin exploded into the room, startling Black Canary, Starfire and Kai, who was floating beside Starfire. The two beautiful women, were coordinating with independent heroes to come up with a plan for containment if the two hour deadline was reached without Savage getting what he wanted.

"We were right. Tornado did anticipate something like this happening. Though it was more in the vein of someone copying his father's work than..." Robin walked the last length of the distance separating them, eager to show them what he had found out. Then without warning or preamble, a red portal manifested, spitting out a few notable figures.

Black Canary, Robin and Starfire instantly went on guard.

"Vandal Savage."

Canary spat out. Between them and Robin stood, the man who was holding nthe world hostage, Vandal Savage. Beside him stood, Klarion the Witchboy, Terror and Child.

"Black Canary, a pleasure as always."

Savage greeted.

"She doesn't seem to share the sentiment, Savage."

A new voice stated. Everyone rounded up to look behind them. The data pad in Robin's hands fell down and cracked on the floor.

"Im... impossible!"

Robin muttered, floating gently out through the door to the meeting hall was The Man of Steel.

Superman was up.
