[b]CRAAACKKK[/b] - The robots remaining, frozen tendrils shattered apart, forcing Aquaman to jump clear of his now precarious footing for a more solid footing aboard it's shoulder. Clearly the metal monstrosity was nowhere near powerful enough to restrain the Man of Steel. [I] Is anything? [/i]thought Arthur. One of the things he admired most about Clark was the Kryptonian's iron determination, the strength to take whatever was thrown at him and keep one going. Darkseid had learnt that the hard way, and judging by the way that he had just broken cloud cover and entered the rejuvenating light of the sun, Superman was about to teach this robot the same lesson. 

Not in any immediate danger Arthur paused to take stock of his allies positions and the state of their enemy. Shifter was thrown clear of the bot, but had quickly returned to the offensive, morphing into a large shark and attacking the feet. [I] Good choice Shifter, the more angles this giant has to defend from the better[/I]. Batman was doing strafing runs, probably while formulating thousands of strategies to take down the villain. Green Arrow was firing missle after missle, no doubt his diverse range of arrows taking a hefty toll upon their enemy. A young female Robin, one Arthur had never met before, was jetting up to the robot waving an arrow in her fist. Arthur was one of the few members of the league who also trained young sidekicks (No doubt Aqualad would be disappointed that his king had left him behind for this adventure) but this girl didn't look like Bruce's usual type of partner, but she gamely scaled the robot, using Queen's arrows and her jetpack in tandem. Once she reached the top she began to traverse the bot, clearly looking for something. So intent was her searching that she missed the robots other arm, undamaged so far, looming above her, ready to squash the sidekick. 

Aquaman sped to her side, catching the robots palm in both hands. It's strength was extraordinary, and for one terrifying second he felt like he AND Robin where both about to be crushed. A low groan of pain became a growl of determination as the King of Atlantis managed to brace himself, locking his arms and refusing to budge another inch. [I] You might be strong monster, but I'm stronger. . . [/I]

"Whatever you're doing Robin, do it quick!" he commanded through gritted teeth. Out of the corner of his eyes he could see Superman and Wonder Woman battling more tentacles. [i]This can't last much longer, not now they are both on the scene.[/I]
