Call to Arms
The headquarters of the YJLA

For a moment, all was quiet and dark in the headquarters of the YJLA. Sophisticated monitoring equipment kept track of emergencies around the world and in near-space, all quietly humming away into the night.

The quiet was suddenly broken by a crackle of green light, briefly illuminating the entire meeting room in its verdant glow. The glow subsided after a moment, coalescing into a single figure out a little blue man, the symbol of the Blue Lanterns glowing upon his chest. His expression was far from unreadable; in fact, he looked rather worried, as though the weight of the universe was bearing down upon him.

There was little he liked about this. He would have preferred to bring his Blue Lanterns into this, but without a Green to work with, their powers were limited. And they could not work with the Green Lanterns on this. Not until he had had time to persuade them that this course of action was the correct one. They would act hastily. And though they would not admit it, they would be acting from emotion. Things rarely went well when his brothers acted upon their little understood emotions.

Instead, he reached out with the Green power that was still his birthright and rather unceremoniously brought each member of the Young Justice League to their headquarters.

	Further from the others, and trained almost from birth in combat. This doesn't surprise her, really. Her eyes narrow, blade whirling about in her hand as she eyes the three of them.

After the time distance had been pointed out to her, Petra had opted for Egypt at night, rather than Chicago in the afternoon.

It seems like she's shown up just in time, and she slams a giant palm of ice down between the Manhunters and the girl she assumes is the one she's rescuing.

"You guys need new lines."

She looks at the girl. "Hi there. Name is Icemaiden. Semi-famous superhero, here to rescue you. Hi, how ya doin'?" A little bit of James Woods may have snuck into her inflection.

	The Manhunters were no fazed by the sudden arrival, or the bladework. "No man escapes the Manhunters!" They brought up their power batons and fired. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Saishu deflects the first blast aimed her way, rushing at the nearest Manhunter to break their flanking positions. "I have never heard of you." No surprise. "And I do not need rescuing." But she's kind of cute. "But feel free to help bury them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are you sure?" Petra asks, almost casually, as she creates a small group of humanoid constructs to corner the Manhunter. "Because, honestly? I'm kind of awesome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Manhunter Saishu attacked was as surprised as it was possible for an emotionless robot to be at the ferocity of her attack, barely maintaining a defensive posture. The others bashed and blasted at Petra's ice constructs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Raaaar!" Saishu snarls, the thing's shields and armor holding, even if Amazonian strength was still enough to shake it some. She feels her strength building as her intensity builds, can feel the red growing in her blood - and with it, her blade begins to glow with red light. She lashes out again, battering at the shields.

	Petra dodges a blast that goes through one of the constructs and nearly hits her, then drops to one knee. She puts both her palms against the ground and spreads out patches of ice underneath the robots, particularly the one fighting the ~~crazy~~ girl. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Its footing undone by Petra's ice, the Manhunter robot's chest was slashed open by Saishu's strike, spilling circuits and wires on the sand. One of the others fired on Petra. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Saishu lunges... directly into the blast aimed for Petra. She's not about to allow one of her allies to get killed for helping her, even if she doesn't know her. Sisterhood was part of the Bana as well.

While she deflects the worst of it off the blade, part washes over the edge and hits her. While their weapons are intended for lanterns, and she can't ignore it entirely, the biggest visible effect is that it seems to make her angrier.

"Pin the downed one before it recovers, I get this one." she manages to yell over the din of battle, doing her best with the heavily accented, clumsy English.

	Petra nods and gives her new comrade a confident wink, sensing that language barriers may come up. Focusing quickly, she reabsorbs some of the discarded ice to stave off dehydration, and then raises her hands over her head. A massive ice hammer forms in her grip, and she grunts as she puts her own leverage into swinging it down on the damaged Manhunter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The one Saishu is fighting moves in for another strike, while the other, smashed by Petra's hammer, goes down and out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

This has potential. the girl takes tactical guidance, and this odd power is versatile.

"Only two left, can you guard our flank?" she asks, as she lunges in at the one up close to her. She does her best to trade blows, letting herself get hit in exchange for getting a clear shot at her attacker in turn.
The Manhunter's blow hurts... quite a bit, even. But she finds, as her rage has grown, she's feeling it less, moving faster, hitting harder - and her sword glows with the power of the red. Right now, she'll take the pain, let it feed her, and put everything she can into a return assault.

	"I'm all over it like Green Arrow on tits and a pulse." Petra responds, raising a semi-circular ice-wall and readying a spear for anything that comes around one side of it, putting her back to her her new friend letting her cover the other side. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The next Manhunter goes down under Saishu's blows, sliced to ribbons by her blade. The last pounds on the wall of ice, trying to break through. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Saishu sees the faint red on the other side of the wall, hears the pounding, then grins wickedly at Petra.

"I surprise robot from above, you make sure this one stays down?"

She launches upward in a super-strength powered leap... a little surprised when she finds herself... flying... odd.

Thankfully, all she has to do from there is stop flying, drawing a second blade, and dropping down from above, weapons downward, towards the Manhunter as he works on finishing breaking the ice wall.

	"Sounds like a plan. Do it." Petra nods, then turns on the already battered opponent. She makes another bludgeon, and goes for a dismembering blow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The last of the Manhunters goes down, sliced and bludgeoned to pieces, uttering one last "No man escaaaaaaa...." before ceasing to function. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Saishu slams her blades into it again and again, having only limited idea of what robots might or might not get up from. She's heard bad stories. Besides, this lets her expend a little more of that rage.

The hits start to ache a little as it dies down, but overall, she feels pretty good. Thrill of the fight.

"Now, who was... who you said you were? Someone famous?"

	Petra brushes her hands off, then reabsorbs as much of the moisture as possible. More robots might be on the way. She extends a hand to the girl. "Icemaiden, member of the Young Justice League. A little blue man from outer space sent me to save you from his pissed off xenophobic cousins. Weird, I know, but kind of par for the course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, well that makes this simpler, then." She eyes her up and down. "You got the hang of the whole flying thing yet? I need to get you back with the rest of my team, and figure out what now. More of those robots, and worse, are going to be on their way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Middle of Nowhere, Egypt godownswinging 2011-10-31 12:21 am UTC (link)
	"Flying is new." she replies, honestly. She hadn't known she could do that. Probably the Butcher fragment being spiteful for her keeping it contained. She grins. "I learn fast." she adds. "Hold on tight, show the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smirks. "Honey, I was about to tell you the same thing. Just... let me know if you think your skin's about to rip open." She offers her a hand, ready to start the cannon-ball propulsion that she calls flight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
