The Hall of Justice...
“Alright everyone, you heard Nucleus,” stated Starman, firmly. “The Appelaxians are taking another crack at either taking over or destroying our planet. Nucleus advised that he believes that our seven friends that first went out into the field are being remote controlled by the aliens on their home planet. There must have been something in those meteors that fell that put our friends into some kind of crazy trance. I’ve been asked to put together a team to travel to the Appelaxian home-world and destroy the device manipulating our friends.”
“YOU’RE going to lead us into battle?” Gold Bug said sarcastically. “BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! April Fool’s Day isn’t for another three months dude...”
Starman quickly pulled his best friend close to him and whispered in his ear, “Now’s not the time for goofing around. One more peep out of you and you’ll have itching powder in your shorts every day for the next year...........AND I’ll tell my aunt that we really are gay.”
“Hmmph....” grumbled Gold Bug as he storm a few yards away.
“Back to the matter at hand,” continued Starman. “Here’s who will be coming on this mission with myself: Hawkgirl, Supergirl, Rock, Sister Sayrah, and Gold Bug.”
As the crowd of heroes began chattering about the events going on, Starman turned towards Hawkgirl and asked, “Can we use your starship for the trip?”
“Of course,” confirmed the Thanagarian thrasher, “But even it’s not fast enough to get to the Appelexian home-world in time to save our friends.”
“That’s where Sister Sayrah comes in...” teased the man otherwise known as Scott Stone.
***
About ten minutes later aboard the Hawk-Plane...
“So why do you call this thing a plane when it can travel in space?” Rock asked curiously.
“On my planet, planes are capable of much more than simply air travel,” explained Hawkgirl. “We also don’t have cars either. Our planes are pretty much the only type of vehicle we have. They can even go under water.”
“Nice...,” commented Rock. “You’ve got to let me fly this thing some time.”
“Not without some training,” countered the girl also known as Shayera Hol.
“I don’t need no #*@^!($ training,” spat the grandson of Sgt. Rock.
“No training - no plane. It’s as simple as that,” decreed Hawkgirl.
“Pfft.....whatever,” Rock said as he rolled his eyes.
“All right everyone, brace yourselves! I’m about to open the Boom Tube!” announced Sister Sayrah.
“Oh great, I don’t have my barf-bag out yet,” sighed Gold Bug.
“Hang on to me, Aaron. I’ll keep you steady,” promised Supergirl.
***
Seconds later in Appelaxian airspace...
“Ok, the Hall of Justice’s tracking program is routing a map to Hawkgirl’s ship showing us where the signal that the Appelaxians are using to control our friends is coming from,” stated Starman.
“It’s coming from that direction,” said Hawkgirl as she pointed towards the west.
“I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to guess it’s coming from that large castle up ahead,” presumed Sister Sayrah.
“Everyone brace yourselves for what could be the fight of our lives,” warned Starman. “The good thing is, we have the element of surprise on our side.”
“Yup, it’s coming from the castle,” Hawkgirl confirmed as she looked down at her control panel.
“All right, let’s rush them and kick some @$$!” directed Starman.
“Sounds like my kinda fight,” smirked Rock.
***
A moment later within the Appelaxian castle...
“Everything is going according to plan,” gloated the Appelaxian leader. “The superhumans are doing our bidding and soon their mudball of a planet shall be ours!”
“Not likely, freak!” countered Supergirl as she smashed through the wall to the throne-room.
“HUMANS?!?!?!” screamed the Appelaxian king. “Guards!”
In a split second, the six heroes from Earth were surrounded by nearly two dozen Appelaxian guards, ready to kill.
The fighting was intense before anyone realized it. Hawgirl’s mace smashed into skull after skull. Rock’s perfect aim allowed him to blind several of the guards which gave Sister Sayrah the chance to take out six guards at once with a combination of heat and cold blasts from her Mega-Staff. Supergirl grabbed four of the guards and sent them flying over ten miles away.
Meanwhile, Starman and Gold Bug searched the palace frantically for the control device.
“It’s most likely high up,” presumed Starman.
“Boy, aren’t you a genius,” Gold Bug said, sarcastically. “Of course they put it high up. That signal is beaming light years away.”
“Just shut up and keep looking,” ordered Starman.
After several minutes, the spider/star team spotted what they were looking for.
“There it is!” shouted Gold Bug. “But look at what’s standing in front of it!”
A giant Appelaxian monster stood in front of the control device. He was like a conglomeration of all seven of the Appelaxians that had fought the legendary Justice League of America. He had golden wings, a wooden leg, a glass leg, a fire chest, a crystal arm, a stone arm, and a mercury head.
As Starman and Gold Bug pressed forward, the giant rushed towards them, ready to defend the machine with it’s life.
Gold Bug began to panic a bit and started firing off energy blasts from his gauntlets. Starman followed suit and shot streams of energy from his Cosmic Rod. The effort was pointless. The beams weren’t affecting the creature at all.
“Aww crap, what are we gonna do, Spaceman?” questioned the legacy of both the Blue Beetle and Booster Gold.
“Keep your shorts dry, I’ve got this...” advised Starman as he flew under the creature’s crotch. “I’m in no mood for this b.s.,” gumbled Starman as he used his gravity bands to send the huge creature soaring upward right above the control device. Once the creature was right above the machine, Starman dropped him, smashing the control device into bits.
“DUDE! We did it!!!” screamed Gold Bug in delight.
“You mean, I did it,” corrected Starman.
“Hey, I distracted him, didn’t I?” questioned Gold Bug.
“How, by soiling your boxers?” teased Starman.
“Whatever....” sighed the man otherwise known as Aaron Kidd.
***
A short while later aboard the Hawk-Plane...
Starman was on the communicator systerm, trying to reach Nucleus. “Jason, come in!”
Nucleus soon appeared on the video screen, “Nice work guys. Whatever you did, worked!”
“Thank God!” Starman said with a sigh of relief. “So you guys were able to hold out ‘til we destroyed the control device?”
“Well....sort of,” answered Nucleus. “We had some...........help.”
“Help?” repeated Rock.
“Yes, the Legion of Hope showed up and helped detain the seven possessed Titans. I believe Luthor and Waller are prepping things to make sure they look like the heroes in all of this,” revealed the man otherwise known as Jason Harwick.
“You have GOT to be kidding me?” Starman said, obviously annoyed.
“I wish I was,” Nucleus said as he shook his head a bit. “Anyways, Power Guy has asked that we all meet back at the Hall to determine what to do next.”
***
Later at the Hall of Justice...
“This is absolutely RIDICULOUS!” shouted Sargona, the hairs on her neck standing up. “Luthor and his cronies are nothing more than a bunch of super-powered con artists! How is it that they were off planet one minute and come rushing to the rescue just in time to take all of the glory???”
“For as excited as Sargona is, she’s right,” agreed the Huntress. “Ever since the Legion first appeared on the scene, they’ve had a habit of showing up in the right place at the right time.”
“Hey guys, check out the news!” called out Blue Lantern as he turned up the volume on the video screen for everyone to hear. On the screen, was none other than Amanda Waller along with Lance Luthor, both of whom were being interviewed by NBC News.
“Let me just confirm President Waller that after the Legion’s successful part in saving the Earth from the Appalaxian attack, you’ve convince the United Nations to make the Legion of Hope the Earth’s official protectors?”
“That’s correct.” affirmed the string-puller behind the Suicide Squad. “Tomorrow morning, the United Nations will be meeting in New York and holding a ceremony to officially appoint the Legion as Earth’s official defense force.”
“This can’t be happening!” cried out the Flash. “They’re all super-villains!”
“Each and every one of them except Luthor has been convicted of murder! How can the U.N. even think about making them Earth’s official protectors?” questioned Whirlpool.
“We’ve got to grab the bull by the horns and NOW,” suggested Knightvision.
“What are you proposing?” asked Power Guy.
The modern-age Dark Knight turned to the former Wonder Girl, “Olympia, the Huntress and I will need access to your Invisible Jet....”
***
Later that night aboard the Invisible Jet...
“Thank you for the ride, Olympia,” the Huntress said gratefully.
“I don’t mind at all,” smiled the woman otherwise known as Donna Troy-Rayner.
“Your jet is the one thing on earth that can sneak past any form of radar made by man. Not even our Bat-vehicles come close when it comes to stealth,” advised Knightvision.
“Look! There’s the Hall of Doom floating ahead!” the Huntress said as she pointed at the flying headquarters of the Legion of Hope.
Within seconds, Olympia positioned her plane directly above the Hall of Doom, the supposedly former villains inside, totally unaware of it’s presence.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to come with?” asked the former Wonder Girl. “If you get caught, it’s thirteen against two.”
“Yeah, I almost feel sorry for the Legion of Hope,” the Huntress said with a smirk as she and Knightvision jumped downward and landed on the floating headquarters.
***
Minutes later....
Knightvision and the Huntress had waisted no time. Slipping through the shadows had allowed the new Dynamic Duo to find the Legion’s records and information room rather quickly.
“This is it. Let’s get to work,” directed Knightvision as he and the Huntress began scurrying through the Legion’s records looking for a way to expose the Legion as the criminals they believed them to be.
A few moments later, Knightvision asked, “Find anything?”
“Not y...” began the Huntress until the new Riddler entered the room and gasped, “Knightvision!! Huntress!!!”
