Between the Kryptonian clone and the duplicating Carggite the school was evacuated within minutes with speed and numbers on the young heroes' side. Aside from the press and police barricades most of the crowd had been dealt with save for one or two remaining individuals in the football field wetting themselves in fear. The consciousness of Ditto traveled between duplicates until he was coming out of an exit leading into the football field and bleachers. That was when the [s]man[/s] boy without a face yelled orders at the team. Ditto was shocked to see the second most experienced member of the team [Hellfire] retreating but could sense one of his duplicates near the barricades listening to an EMS worker mentioning something about radiation. 

[color=dodgerblue]"I need to get to the bottom of that..."[/color] he thought to himself as he created at least half a dozen more duplicates, one of which attempted to follow his retreating teammate who thankfully didn't fly at superspeeds. 

Supergirl knocked the Red Lantern into the parking lot. Then after being attacked Starbolt came in with a save and an assault of her own. With the bigger guns of the team taking the fight to the Lantern, rookies including Armory and the Question weren't doing much more than playing catch-up at this point. Miss Mountain then attacked the Lantern before taking part of a blast from the Lantern's ring through an earth/rock shield.

[color=dodgerblue]"Question!"[/color] a duplicate shouted as he caught up to the young hero en route to the parking lot on foot, [color=dodgerblue]"We need to contain this kid long enough to knock him out. I'm afraid the only way to disarm him also kills him in the process. It's not that I didn't have a plan, I just don't know how to tell this team of kids we may have to kill somebod... LOOK OUT!"[/color] the duplicate shouted pushing the kid in the suit and tie out of the way and taking a direct blast of red napalm like blood vomit from the enraged Red Lantern's mouth.

The faceless hero looked on as the duplicate burned. The body that the prime Ditto was in blacked out, and in response several duplicates attacked the Lantern with large chunks of debris taking him out of the air once more. A few moments later a blue glimmer shot from the eye of the prime Carggite and he was back on his feet. 

[color=dodgerblue]"WE HAVE TO GET THE RING OFF OF HIS FINGER! IF WE DON'T END HIM THIS WHOLE CITY WILL BURN..."[/color] the prime Ditto shouted. 

Two duplicates then threw an already trashed car at the Lantern.
