The Tournament Of Heroes! (Titans East)

"They're fine Superboy, but I dunno how long I can keep this flare up. So how about you two go up there and make his royal highness a little uncomfortable. I'll disrupt the forcefield as much as I can, but you guys gotta break through yourselves."

As Static says this his eyes would surge with electricity and then his entire body would start to fill with a shockwave that causes all the space Colosseum's lighting and machinery to flicker. The voltage being emitted was so strong, the hair on everyone's neck would stand on edge and the dome shapped forcefield that covered each of the three battle arenas began to wobble and become shaky. Meanwhile, Conner would look at Dan and then motion with his head towards Zoltan. Both of them then zipping up into the force field and attempting to hit it with a double punch to break through. The hits were thunderous and caused the energy dome to become even more unstable, but it still held together.



Rewind back to the original flash from Static and the fall of Wondergirl. Zoltan would see the vets had been defeated more or less by Grace and Lance. Zoltan displeased by this would see Arrowette was trapped, yet still alive. It would be at this point that he signaled for her excecution along with the rest of the crowd. This put Stone in a tough spot, if he didn't want to blow his cover he would have to spill another hero's blood. What was he going to do now? Luckily, before he had to make a final decision. The flare from Static would illuminate the entire arena, blinding Zoltan and turning his focus towards that battle instead. He couldn't see anything and to make matters worse he felt a strong aura emitting from the area.

"What is going on down there!?! Quick, someone go check it out, I want to know which one of them is doing this!"

Suddenly a pounding noise could be heard and Zoltan's glare would grow more serious. The thud was so intense it made the entire forcefield rattle until finally yet another pounding was made; but this time a hole could be seen going through the forcefield just below Zoltan! Out of it coming Dan Yat with a mighty shoulder thrust, which looked like it took a lot out of him and then after Dan came Superboy filled with fury. He soared towards Zoltan at top speeds and roared before looking to slug the God Of The Arena in his face, but Zoltan shocked by this would raise his sword to deflect. However, Conner's blow was so powerful it disarmed him and knocked the blade to the ground far below his throne; spiking itself into the arena flooring next to Static. Virgil would then discharge himself feeling very tired now, but the damage to the forcefields on around the battlefields was done and the current he emitted still lingered. Without NarGok in close proximety to Zoltan, the mind control on the teens was lessened most considerably. This is due to his magic being reduced to about half without his weapon. Almost immediately all the heroes minds were freed from being constrained and brought them back to reality.

"ARGH, Guards shoot him!"

About twenty of the heavily armored crew and servants of Zoltan would then appear amongst the crowd who panicked in the wake of the now freed champion Superboy. Most of them aiming and taking fire at the Kryptonian clone; blasting him out of the sky just before he got a clean shot at Zoltan while he was backing away. The ray gun that hit Superboy initially had enough kick to put a hole through man's body the size of a dinner plate. But, for Conner it just caused him to go soaring back towards Dan uncontrollably while smoldering.

Meanwhile, as the guards began to open fire Dan and Superboy. Static weary and tired would still hop onto his disk and fly up into the air. Firing off electric bursts that would knock over a few of the henchmen, but wasn't enough to put them down. He was weak and was barely even able to maneuver very well through the laser fire.

Rewind back again to just before Zoltan was attacked by Superboy. Sage was still knocked out and Electrified could be seen trying to wake him. However, by letting down her guard she allowed Miss Martian to get the drop on her again. The alien going from being cloaked to visible right infront of Kat! Then grabs both her and the out of it Sage with each arm by the throats before Electrified could even react. As Katarzyna struggled and JaK dangled limp, she started to choke them both while floating above the ground simulating a hanging. But even this alone wasn't enough to fill the Martian's blood lust. No, Miss Martian would then demonstrate yet another ability by popping two more arms from her body. One arising peculiarly out of her hip and then another from her forehead. Each of them just like her normal arms and just as strong to boot. As she cocked both of the newly made appendages back and readied to punch holes through the hero's heads; a cloud of black energy would suddenly arise from her being just in time. The same happening to both JaK and Aquagirl's bodies as well. With Miss Martian's senses now returning to her this caused Megan to stop what she was doing and drop each of the Titans while apologizing telepathically.

(Mind)
"I am so sorry for what I have done, I was not in my right mind. Can you please find it in your hearts to forgive me?"

As Megan spoke, she would clasp all four hands together in the prayer position after dropping both Titans to the ground, as if begging. Hearing the alien girls thought's in their heads, both Aquagirl and JaK Sage would awaken from their exhasuted slumbers and look about.

"Tell me, that was ALL just a bad dream?"

"Afraid not Titan and by the looks of it, our real fight has just begun."

Aquagirl would speak as she stood up just as battered and brusied as JaK while looking upon the lasers being shot across the air and the fleeing crowd; who had nowhere to run to since they were in a spaceship after all. Sage would then turn to see Kat, a familiar face and one he had admittedly missed.

"Never, have I ever been so glad to see someone who caused me so much physical pain before."

He remembered everything, including the arrival of his teammates and how he had the urge to help Kat this entire time, but was unable to because the control of his thoughts and emotions were not his own.

Lance got up off the ground with Grace propped up on his back. Lance walked over as he noticed Arrowette was yelling out for someone to help her out of the hole Lance had put her in. Lance went and expanded the hole to let Arrowette out of the hole. She goes and hops out of it. Arrowette looked at Lance more or less checking him out for some reason.

"You mind looking after her for right now?"

Lance said as he would look back at Grace being the one who needed to be watched on.

"Not really, but I'll consider this a favor for you."

You could see Lance's face turn slightly red as Arrowette winked at him. He then put Grace on the ground in front of Arrowette and Lance turned around to look at Wonder Girl now. The time that had went by gave it enough time for Wonder Girl to start to thaw out and then break out of the ice. Lance goes over to Wonder Girl.

"C'mon, let's go help the others."

Lance said to Wonder Girl who had nodded her head. Lance and Wonder Girl flew up to the place where the others and Zoltan were. Wonder Girl went to go take out some of the guards and Lance went to go help Static. Lance had pulled his sword out and maneuvered through the shots being fired at him. Once Lance was close to the guards, he slashed them with his sword. Wonder Girl was kicking, kneeing, and punching the guards easily taking them down with her super strength.

JaK would look up as well at the airborne fight taking place above them between Wondergirl, Lance, Superboy, Static, Dan, Zoltan and the space coliseum's flight crew that were mounted all around the stadium firing off at the heroes. Sage wanting to help tried to reconfigure his armor, but then realised that wasn't possible because the subtance that originally formed it had been broken int he fight with Aquagirl. Sucks. He was now gonna be exposed in multiple places. That means battle strategy was changing, he would need to keep moving and not let anyone get a clean shot at him; which would be hard due to every bone in his body was currently aching.

"Right, Miss Martian I need you to launch me at the guards over there do you think you can do that..Especially that one"

JaK was referring to the rude guy from before, that was taunting the losers cell and JaK. Sage rememebred everything and wanted to punch that dude's face in then, recognizing the armored soldier by the type of laser rifle he had.

"Yes JaK I can do that, and I will aid you next Katarzyna if you want in reaching the soldiers. Oh and I know you didn't tell me your names, but I can read minds and did so quite a bit in our fight....Sorry."

"While you deal with them, the Martian and I will go free the other trapped heroes from their holding cells. Security should be lessened now that the champions are on the attack."

Without another word, Miss Martian would stick out her hand levitating the boy up into the air and then fly up high so she could bust through the wobbling forcefield with his super strength. Afterwards flinging Sage with her mind towards the guards and as JaK flew he stuck his fists traight out while roaring with intensity. Hitting the dickheaded armored guard from before in his head and knocking him out cold, immediately rolling afterwards to avoid laser fire from his friends and then springing to his feet as he rolled towards one of them. Clocking him in his the side of his head and right after grabbing his limp body to use as a shield, while he approached the others on the arena stands. The limp armored soldier taking the fire from their weapons for him until he got close enough to then use his enhanced strength to lift the man up and lunge him at his comrades. Knocking them all over long enough for JaK to get in close, where he began to batter each other them with mini barrages of spinning round house kicks and uppercuts. However, JaK was sluggish in his movements and as guards approached form the other side their laser fire began to graze the boy's armor; buring off yet more pieces of his already damged body.

Meanwhile, after tossing Sage Miss Martian would levitate Aquagirl out of the hole in the forcefield and place her next to the Colliseum's door, which lead to a corridor that goes to the prison chambers. Aquagirl punched it in immediately with her atlantean strength and pried the metal slabs open as so she and the alien teen hero could go rescue the others, but before Miss Martain would go she waited for Electrified's response to see if she needed help out of the forcefield as well; which was pretty high up or if she would find her own way.

After retrieving his sword Zoltan would raise NaRgok in his right hand high above his head and exclaimed victory would be his...

"Now you children will witness the power and damnation of one of the universe's most deadliest weapons."

As he said this, Dan would rise from the ruble and within an instant Zoltan would swing his sword in the hero's direction; not wanting to give the Daxamite a chance to use his speed or flight to avoid the move. However, Zoltan was too far away to actually hit Dan with the sword yet he had another plan in mind. As he made the stroke, NarGok would glow with a purplish aura during the very swing and while it made the full 180 degree motion towards Dan a dark wave of demonic energy would fly from the blade. Absolutely tearing through the arena flooring as it neared the opponent and hit where Dan Yat was standing causing an explosion and debris to rise everywhere. If the boy had survived the magical attack was unknown. Static seeing all this would then attempt to attack from behind with a volt of electricity, but Zoltan deflected it at the last second by using his unbreakable weapon as a shield to block the current.

"Don't you fools get it, I am much more than just a gladiator."

While talking, after deflecting Static's blast Zoltan would swing the sword again and send out yet another array of magical dark energy. Except this time the beam would splinter, making little needle like dark energy darts that hit Static and stabbed at his very soul rather than his phsyical being yet still ripped apart his clothing and burned his flesh. Thus causing the teen to fall off his flying disk and onto the ground below.

"More than a champion!"

"NOOOOO!!!"

Superboy having recovered from the laser blast would zip towards Zoltan going for a mighty one two combo, but Zoltan would duck one blow and then take the other on the chin showing his own durability, but immediately answers with his own elbow to Conner's gut afterward showing his power. Followed up by an uppercut with the handle of his sword that caused blood to fly from Superboy's mouth while spinning around and the finally a slash to the kryptonian's back. Which since it was a blade magically endowed from hell, it would strip flesh and cloth from Superboy's back causing him to scream out before dropping to all fours.

"I Am GOD here, and you are all inferior peasents. Alive only because I wished it, but now I will have to make an example out you all. One you'll never forget!"

As Zoltan said this, the burly gladiator would lift his weapon to decapitate Conner who was catching his breath while still on his hands and knees. A smile forming over Zoltan's face ass he readied hismelf for glory.
