Titans Together! (Cont.)

As JaK sped down the ladder and landed next to the new arrival, who had luckily stopped hismelf from the death drop by way of electromagnetism, which reminded JaK of another teen hero named Static kinda. Kat would burst out a welcoming to Sage before running towards both him and Raivan in one of her trademark tyrants. JaK knew how to defend one of her direct charges from experience, but there was a problem! For some reason he wasn't able to move his body or at least easily or as fast as he needed to be able to avoid her blow and counter it. It would seem Backlash's new found powers had given her better control over metal and other objects her electromagnetism could effect. Quite the predicament for JaK Sage actually who was coated in such material, but luckily he would be rescued from another lashing by Katarzyna's whips when Grace interfered sort of to his dismay. He had wanted her to escape, but still her interference had broken Kat's focus on both him and the other boy and instead left an opening for JaK to manuver. An opening he didn't keep long for suddenly he would feel very hot and fast small pieces of debris fly into his armored body and lauge themselves into or ricochet off of him.

"You gotta be kidding me!? That's it, I tried to play it cool with you guys, but now you're starting to tick me OFF!!"

Bullets, really!?! They were shooting at someone who had saved the city from an evil Santa Clause once, being infested by demons, rescued the mayor from death itself, and stopped well over half a dozen robberies over the past year. How could these fools have forgotten excactly how much good the Titans had done so quickly?? Well if that's how they wanted to play it, JaK could have a short memory too. Putting into the back of his mind his promise to Cyborg, his longing to be a hero, and his yearning for acceptance. No, now he was who he always feared to be...A Sage. Those in his family like his borther and father were liars, murders, and deceitful. That's right, JaK was going to allow hismelf to go back to his roots and unleash his fury upon Smith and his men. He vowed not to fight Kat of course, but the army and defending his own well being were two entirely different matters. With that the boy would swat two more bullets out of his way as he charged towards the army while unleashing a heart-aching roar from his sarchophagus. Unafraid of the spray of shrapnel that could still very much so pierce his armor JaK continued to run at the group. Sprinting over and a top the roofs of parked cars as well as sliding under them for cover as he ran at the soldiers and then just before reaching them he would lunge into the air. Bullets holes riddeling his armor like a cop car under fire as he came down toward Smith directly with a knock out punch aimed at his forehead while his men continuously fired....Well at least until he was thrown back by what appeard to be nothing but a mighty gust of wind?! That's right, moments before impact Joshua's screech sent the airborne Titan sailing back along with Smith and his men plus his current and ex teammates like a gail force wind. Landing on the top of a vehicle after bouncing off several other objects. JaK lifted his wounded exteriored body up and took a look at the culprit behind such a powerful surprise attack. His vision was sort of blurry from hitting so many things during being blown away, so he couldn't make out Primarch. Instead the boy just asked a singular question as he began to struggle to his feet hoping his vision returned soon.

"AUuuGh, depends who's asking bud? The Titans are kind of busy right now, maybe you could come back at a later time...Like Never."

JaK's vision might have come back to him at one of the most importunate times, just in time for him to watch as the same soldiers he swore not to hurt...Swore the Titans wouldn't hurt, but then tried to attack himself were massacred in a matter of milliseconds. At first he felt like his newly revived eyes had betrayed him, but soon realized that the threat was real. Before being able to turn back and get a good look at Primarch Joshua he was swooped up around the waist with speed nearly as quick as he could blink. As he was held up to the monster's face momentarily he looked into Primarch's eyes. He had seen this glare before many times, the look of infested evil...The grip Joshua had on JaK was intense enough to cause the metal surrounding his body to complain as it bent under the strength in his one palm. Afterwards being tossed away like nothing. JaK flew through the air going through the window of an apartment building and out the other side of it's dry wall before his decent was stopped when he hit a stoplight and the whole thing collapsed under the force of impact plus his weight. A few moments passed after Sage hit the ground and sparks flew every where from the now exposed electrical equipment. He was badly injured now and could no longer keep up his armor. Not like it would do him much good in the condition it was in now anyway. As he dispelled it many bullet casings would drop to the ground, which had littered his armor before hand and his deformed body frame from Primarch's grip returned to it's normal shape. His gash from the earlier confrontation with Kat returned as well plus a few more lacerations to boot. The only thing JaK could do now was wait to heal. In the meantime he struggled to move his finger to his communicator on his belt and pressed the distress signal. (Before Capricous arrived) This distress alerted any and all Titans to their position. It was the best he could do at this point, the best he was able to muster because where alone he had failed, hopefully, together they would prosper.

"Titans, we need you..."

With those few words whispered, JaK collapsed and the healing process began. The fact that he had remained conscious that long was rather amazing in itself.

As the flames sped towards both Goth and Raivan before they had a chance to react all the sources of H20 in the area began to go haywire. Suddenly not far off hoses nozzles popped off. The fire department's engine began to squirt water like crazy and the hydrant's tops blew off. The dew from any vegetation began to levitate in the air and finally the manhole coverings exploded as geysers of liquid began to spray into the air. All of these forms of water combining to make a giant wave shield just in front of Raivan and Goth. Upon impact with Primarch's attack, however, the water force-field was shown being barely able to block it. The shield nearly evaporating and then burtsing for it just nearly held up against his attack. Soon after the droplets came backtogether in the shape of a smaller yet still pretty large nine foot water entity, recognizable to only a few who had seen it before. Although, the symbol in the middle of the humanoid aqua-being's chest area was definitely instantly recognizable to all present except Goth of course. The Omnitrix symbol...

Spoiler:

"Oooouch, getting evaporated SUCKS! What is that thing?"

Jen and Dan had received Jak's call for aid when they were nearly to JLA HQ in Metropolis. Jenny tried to convice the Daxamite that they should go back, but he was certain that JaK and the others could handle it. Besides, they probably wouldn't make it in time anyway and he was supposed to keep her safe. However, Jen didn't care about the formalities she wasn't comfortable with leaving them in the first place, especially with Sage injured. Captain Daxam was firm on his decision though and wasn't going to let her go. So Jenny took the choice out of his hands by rotating the dial off the Omnitrix silently as they flew until she got the silhouette of the alien she that looked good and pressed down on it, turning into Overflow! In this form Capt. Daxam would be unable to hold her unlesss he of course froze Jenny, but luckily before that she leaked in between his grasp and into the ocean below. After joining with the large body of water in mere minutes her conciousness would travel all the way back to Jump City though the ocean and pipes/sewer system, forming with the water already in the cities facinity to re-make herself at the battle scene. Neat trick, not even Ben had known about that one.

"Get back guys, I'll try to hold him off until more Titans come."

Jen would speak this warning to Raivan and Goth with her murky water filled voice. Not recognizing either of them as Titans, so she figured they must just be by-standards. Afterwards she turned her long aquatic neck back towards Joshua and made her body larger by using her hydrokinesis to add more liquids in the area to her own mass index. Her size now rivaling his own near or around fourteen feet. Although, the fear in her heat could not be seen in this form it was there. This foe seemed formidable and currently Dan, nor JaK or Lance was around to save her this time.
