'Aqualad, sending you a telepathic image of the buyer now.' Miss M says over to us. "Sportsmaster. He is the buyer?" He asks. He presses his comm. "Aqualad to Red Tornado. Do you read?" He asks. "Ugh. Can't reach the League, Robin, or Kid. Comm's jammed. We need a plan, now." He tells us. "I have a suggestion." Bane tells us. He jumps off the railing we've been hiding on, and crash lands on two of the Kobra cultists. Gunshots fire, alerting the people outside.
We stare down at Bane, me in annoyance. "Preatu-", "What is he-" Neither Kaldur nor I get to finish, as a big creature jumps through the window, nearly crashing into us. We all land on the ground below, some more gracefully than others.
"Destroy them." I hear a man's voice say. I look to see someone whom I'm guessing is the leader of the Kobra cult. The big monster comes running up to us. Superboy runs and meets him in the middle, and as they begin fighting, some of the cultists come running towards Aqualad and me. He makes a shield with his water bearers, while I allow my skin to turn to scales. The bullets bounce right off of me, and I run to go fight them.
"Dracona, no!" Aqualad yells for me. I ignore him, my cloak flying behind me and revealing my legs, which are now covered in white scales. While they're all distracted shooting at us, I take their guns, break them to pieces, and knock them out. M'gann comes to help us out, and I notice Sportsmaster watching the air tentatively, as if he can see her.
Superboy ends up crashing into my back, and we both tumble across the room. I'm the first one back on my feet, and I see the creature running right for us. I intercept him, using my strength to punch him into the air. As he comes back down, I jump in order to do a spin-kick, which sends him flying through the wall. I turn to see Superboy staring at me, before taking off to finish fighting with the creature.
An explosion happens above me, and I look to see Miss Martian flying backwards. From what I can tell, Sportsmaster threw a bomb or something at her and it hit on impact. Aqualad backs away from the gunfire, dodging to hide behind one of the big tanks. I run to stand next to him. Just because the bullets bounce off, doesn't mean the impact they have doesn't hurt like hell. "Miss Martian, radio is jammed! Link us up!" He yells over the gunfire. 'Everyone online?' She asks. 'Yeah.' 'You know it, beautiful.' 'Yes.' Superboy, Kid, and I answer. 'Good. We need to regroup.' Aqualad says. 'Busy now.' Robin tells us. I look over to see where the guards are at, and one manages to hit me in the head. I fall backwards.
"Dracona!" Aqualad yells. I sit up, rubbing my head where the bullet hit me, feeling a small voxar egg that's no doubt going to bruise later. I hear Aqualad sigh in relief, before getting serious again. 'Robin, now!' He orders. He starts whip-lashing some of the cultists, not letting me go near them.
'Strategic retreat. Kid, clear a path.' He goes zooming over, knocking each of the men out, and we all run to get away. We run back into the door we came out of, back into the tunnel, and close the metal doors. As we start running, I hear a loud crash come from behind us. I turn to look, and see the creature had broken down the doorway. I stop, my team mates running past me.
"Dracona, come on!" Aqualad and Robin yell. I turn around, holding my hand out to my side as fire consumes my scales. I throw the fireball at the creature's feet, and a wall of flames erupts in front of them. They all stop, and while they're distracted, I go to the support beams and knock them out. The ground starts to shake as we begin running again, and the tunnel starts collapsing. A huge wall of rocks separates us from our pursuers, and we are left in darkness.
