The beast stopped and stood still as it was hit with the tranquilizer darts, turning around it faced the shooter, roaring loudly at the boy. The werewolf lunged at the boy in attempt to knock him to the ground and tear him apart with his claws. The tranquilizer wasn't effecting his body, his blood rage fueled him to power through the darts, it would take more than that to bring him down, much more. Either these heroes took him down or he'd go on to terrorize the locals.

[CloudyDreams]

"Right."

Sunny, still in her seat, tapped on the comm bud, once again ignoring the wind current blasting her face. Star had run off, heading straight into battle. The jet had stopped, most likely near the target. With a grin, she unbuckled her seatbelt, taking a few cautious steps as she proceeded to get out of the vehicle. "Hynn, such a pain," she softly whined with a pout on her face. However, she knew that once she took off her blindfold, she would be able to finally see things and most importantly, her comrades' faces.
"20 minutes," she thought to herself. 1,200 seconds of being able to actually fight. Sunny was somewhat scared at her sudden realization on how little time she had. She gripped her recurve bow, exhaling a bit before untying the bandage with her free hand. She then flashed opened her abnormally large eyes, that seemed to resemble a falcons’, observing the scene as she ran towards the point of battle.

A large roar echoed and the creature charged towards the guy who was shooting stuff at it. “Well, it looks like Mr. Wolfie is in a bad mood today!” she hummed cheerfully as she whipped out a small charged flash arrow. The distance itself was no problem - a piece of cake, really. She stopped momentarily, loading the arrow and pulled back on the string hard, letting the trick arrow fly and explode right in front of the beasts’ eyes. Hopefully, it would momentarily blind the beast long enough for the other guy to escape. She then pulled out two explosive arrows, loading both of them at the same time while she ducked out of sight.

She was too young to die today.

Hector was reviewing the data on his teammates and there opponent when Star suddenly spoke to him. It seemed she had already discovered what he was good in, probably not to his full extent. She made an excellent suggestion of him using the Jet after they landed. “That is a good idea, I wish I came up with it first.” said Hector as he smiled, perhaps he would prove useful. He wondered how well he could fly the Jet. Seeing as he would be able to control it perfectly, he would just have to figure out the correct tactics and how to execute them correctly in order to become an excellent Jet fighter, that and not passing out while doing such things. As they arrived Hector turned on his comm link, as Star suggested but even if she hadn’t said anything he still would have done so as it was common sense to do so.

While the rest of the team started to exit the Jet, Hector remained on-board and opened up the file about their target. It seemed he only had limited data. “Alright guys and girls, I only got a small amount of information on our target. I’ll make it quick; he’s got super strength, super speed, super endurance, super healing, and super durability. Do note he may have other powers not listed here.” said Hector over the comm Links as he then began to place his hand on the Jet and begin analyzing it. “Team, I’m sending an evacuation order to the city. This should get some civilians out of your way.” said Hector as he then place his hand on his computer and attempted to give an evacuation command to the city. The best place to start would be the police and fire department. If they where given the order then everyone else would follow.

Sam seemed to just be sitting back and letting things go down. Why? At first he thought it would be simple and he wouldn't be needed. Besides, everyone had sprung into action so quickly. Even his new semi-blind friend. But when the tranquilizers didn't work he started to think maybe he'd best step in. Right now Falcon was shooting explosive arrows. That would work to his advantage. Still another distraction was necessary along with a follow up attack after the explosive Arrows to put the pup down. "Hmmm." He thought to himself for a moment before smirking. "Alright. I got it." He said as he hopped out of the plane and ran to a fairly open part of the newly made "battleground".

"Hey ya mangy mutt! C'mere! I wanna show you a little magic trick!" Sam said as he pulled out his deck of cards. With the explosive arrows most likely preparing to cause Wolf a bit of trouble and allowing Ghost to get away he could take the chance to use it to get off an attack. "All you've got to do is pick a card!" He said as he spread the cards out in his hand doing his best to get Wolf's attention. "Any card." He added with a smirk hoping his teammates would find it in themselves to trust that he had a plan. Plus he was kind of trying to show off a bit. Still it didn't really look good. They didn't know his powers, skill set, or anything. Mostly just how he looked and what his name was.

[Stryder]

Wolf could hear the screaming sound of something flying though the air, quickly he turned to see a lone arrow but it was different, it looked like it had something at the tip. He quickly shut his eyes that seemed to have no irises at the time, he could hear the hear release whatever it was it held. Even through his closes eyes he could see a bright blinding light, luckily it didn't do much since he had his eyes closed. Once he opened them he saw something else, two more arrows, he began to accurately think, these two had different tips than the first one. These ones didn't smell like the others they smelled volatile, at the realization of explosive arrows he grabbed the two the moment they got nearest him and threw them both. One exploded before he could throw it, he lost fingers, causing him to howl out in pain, the other he successfully threw back toward its sender.

He turned his head to eye a boy, he was playing with cards, telling him to pick one. In demonstration of his lethal potential, Wolf brought his claws to the side of a car, clawing through it like a knife to butter. Going down to all fours he roared dangerously before breaking into a full sprint toward the kid, he lunged forward. His claws aimed at him, yearning to tear the boy the bloody ribbons.

[Demon Shinobi]

Sam chuckled a bit throwing all of the card up in front of the beast as it approached. "I guess card tricks aren't you let hug." He said chuckled as the cards came down between him and Wolf. "How about this one?" He took a deep breath. "SHAZAM!!" He shouted just as the would be hero'a claws were coming down in him. The lightning struck initiating the transformation into Shazam jr. He had one hand holding the clawed beast wrist before it could strike him and cause any real damage. "You're pretty tough." He said as he brought his free hand up balled into a fist aiming a powerful uppercut at his opponent's chin. Jr. Knew it wouldn't kill the young hero and it may not even knock him out, but it was definitely gonna hurt if it hit.upon impact he was release Wolf's wrist so as to avoid tearing the limb off. Should the attack fail he'd proceed to spartan kick the crap out of the mutt.

[Kitty]

"Thanks." Star spoke into the communicator before setting the man down who immediately took off running. Star ran straight at the wolf but instead of attacking she stood to the side as Shazam Jr worked his magic (pun intended) to try and knock out the beast. Star thought of an idea knowing that when the beast was released from Shazam Jr's girp he'd fly back a bit. Star began to run in a small circle slowly quickening her speed until she became a small tornado of red and yellow. The tornado made it's way towards the beast hoping to send it flying when she sucked him into the speed tornado although if she was in the wrong place when she picked the beast up instead the beast would fly into her but that was a small risk. None the less it was a risk.

[HellHoundWoof]

Alex was in the ring with his mentor Panther swinging right crosses, Alex was venting some anger he had from an earlier fight. Alex continued swinging as Panther rotated and continued egging him on. Alex kept visualizing the fight from earlier and beating the guy in front of him, he kept swinging sweat dripping from his brow. Eventually he swung rapidly until he could take no more, he tore his gloves off and threw them down. Alex walked over to his water bottle and picked it up squeezing it hard enough to spray water onto his face.

"I'm done," Alex said irritated, "I'm sick of training, I just want to..."

Panther walked over to his prodigy and put his hand on Alex's shoulder, he patted his shoulder and exited the ring. Alex followed and exited the ring angrily throwing his towel over his shoulder, they walked into the dining room and saw a figure in a dark cowl.

"Hey Bats," Panther said nonchalantly. Batman acknowledged his fellow League member but did little more than watch him sit down while Alex stood there staring at the Batman. Panther smiled and looked at Alex, Batman threw a thick vanilla folder down on the table. Alex looked at his mentor and Panther nodded, Alex gladly picked up the folder and looked inside it. He saw pictures of other heroes, a speedster, an archer some magician, a hacker and others. He looked at the Batman and smiled broadly, "Would you like to join a team?"

<3 days later>

Alex walked through the portal as it recognized him, "Burner, C10" his first view of the Mount Justice cave was somewhat unimpressive. He saw the main hanger and began walking through it trying to find anyone eventually giving up. He found the kitchen and prepared himself a sandwich as he walked around he spotted a large computer and simply glanced at it briefly, had it not been for its many screens coming to life he would not have noticed it. He stopped walking and poked his head back into the room, he saw Batman on the screen and quickly jogged inside.

"We need you in Germany," he said coldly "The team is fighting some kind of a wolf man, be aware it has increased strength and has resisted the tranquilizers we've tried on it. There's a small personal jet in the hanger you should be able to get their quickly."

"Absolutely!" Alex said excitedly, he ran out the room quickly shoving the remainder of his sandwich into his mouth. He ran to his room and put on his outfit, he looked in the mirror quickly and put his hood up. He began running towards the hanger and found a small red jet possibly capable of holding two people, he ran over to it and opened the cockpit then jumped inside. He saw an earpiece sitting above the control panel and picked it up and put it in his ear. He looked at the controls confused and eventually pressed a button and heard the turbines spun. The hangar bay doors opened and his jet slowly pulled out crossing over the water it began going extremely fast, eventually everything outside the jet was blur and soon he saw a landmass ahead of him. The outside of the jet slowly came into view and a sick feeling rose in Burner's stomach, soon after the jet came to a stop over a city with overturned cars and he saw a much larger jet near the city. He saw people fighting a large wolf looking creature, and after a moment his ear peice clicked on and emitted a quick set of beeps. He heard voices and commotion through it and decided to introduce himself. His jet landed and he opened the cockpit quickly and ran outside.

"Burner, incoming" Burner said over his ear piece.

He ignited his fists and ran into the fight, he threw a fireball of low density at the creature to get its attention. The beast ignored him and Burner prepared for another throw but was cut off by a blur of red and yellow circling the beast. Burner took a step back and smiled, finally he would meet another who had powers.

[Saarebas]

A smile came to Seamus' face as Star thanked him before racing off again. Three seconds onto the job and you're already saving lives. You go you handsome devil you. He thought to himself, making him very glad that there was no telepath on the team. He was about to engage the wolf creature when the other boy, Sam is what he overheard he said his name was, started buying for biding for his attention with magic cards. Oh no I'm dealing with another Zatanna. He thought with a slight smirk on his face. But to his surprise when the monster lunged at him the boy shouted 'Shaazam!' and a flash of light engulfed him. He's a champion! That's why I couldn't get a read on him. Seamus mentally face palmed himself. Just as the beast was clobbered by Sam Seamus, and everyone else he assumed, got the words 'Burner, incoming.' whispered in his ear by the mechanical bug that dwelled within. He was able to turn to see the arrival of another teen. Who we are really coming out of the wood wok today. Seamus thought, though he was more than happy for the extra back up. He shot a slight smile to his new teammate, giving him a two fingered sault, before refocusing on the target. He noticed Tori was beginning to run in circles, catching him off guard at first, and creating a small tornado. Seamus quickly caught on to her plan so he moved his bored a about 14 feet above the ground and a near by Star's mini vortex while summoning his Shadow wire into both hands. If her plane to launch the wolf man worked he would be able to wrap the beast in the Shadow wire and sling shot it back to the floor with some good force.

[Stryder]

Wolf snarled and roared as he was stopped by the boy who seemed to have transformed by a bolt of lightning. The uppercut knocked him back, sending him flying through the air, the werewolf began to lose altitude. His attention was turned toward a ball of fire that was dodged, his evasive move landed him within the path of the tornado. He was picked back up by the revolving gales of wind, spinning around several times before being bound by what seemed like dark bonds, shadows of some kind. He was slammed down to the ground forcefully, the werewolf struggled and growled as he had been restrained, letting out a terrifying roar when he broke out.

[HellHoundWoof]

"Come on!," Burner shouted throwing more low density balls of flame at the creature trying to get it to focus on him. Burner continued approaching it and with each step his rate of fire grew. Eventually he stopped and swung his arm in a circle above his head creating a halo of fire.

"Come and get some!" Burner shouted at the top of his lungs.

[Kitty]

Tori stopped running and smirked. With her fast speed she ran over by the wolf and looked down at it with curious green eyes. "This is so awesome. We just took it down with no problem!" Tori said smiling at everyone that was until the wolf broke free. Tori flipped backwards and landed, directly infront of her was the wolf. "Well never mind then," Tori spoke calmly as she ran to where she was behind him. "Anyone got any plans? Or strong rope that we can tie around his feet?" Star asked sighing until she saw the guy with the fire. "Hey no fair he can't have all the fun!!!" Star said childishly as she ran and jumped landing on the wolf's shoulders, wrapping her legs around his neck and wrapping her arms around his head covering his eyes. "Now you can't see Mr. Wolfy what are you gonna do about it?" Star asked laughing slightly. She was definitely her father's daughter.

[Stryder]

Wolf turned at the sound of a person yelled, the boy with the flames threw more fireballs at him. He dodged them with ease, growling as he did so, his vision was obscured by something, he had no idea what though. Well he had an idea, the obscurer smelled feminine, he heard her voice which also confirmed his thoughts. He snarled in anger when he felt a slight heat against his chest, the fireball hit him, the damage repair at an instant because of it being a minor wound. Grabbing the girl by her hands the beast brought her forward in a quick arching motion, attempting to slam her down into the asphalt. From there he would go on to sprint at the fire boy and lunge at him in hopes of pinning him to the ground and biting into his shoulder.

[HellHoundWoof]

((This is a public service announcement, ignore this public service announcement))

[Saarebas]

Seamus was feeling pretty smug the brief moment the beast laid tied up by his Shadow wire, though his little pride bubble was quickly broken when the monster broke through his restraints. Damn, guess restraining him isn't going to work. He thought as he lowered himself to ground level, though he stayed on his shadow disk, luckily for him his teammates sprang into action rather quickly. The new arrival, Burner if he was the one on the com link, quickly hurling fire balls at the wolf and Seamus' new favorite speedster jumping onto the beast. Unfortunately the monster quickly adapted to the new attack, shrugging off the fire and preparing to slam Star into the pavement. Seamus knew he wouldn't be able to stop the slam but maybe he could slow the beast down long enough for someone else to step in. Seamus took a deep breath before summoning more shadow in his right hand that he shot forward to tie around the wolfs arms. Knowing that this wouldn't completely he summoned more shadow wire in his left hand, but this wire was different it had a faint purplish shine to it. This better get your attention you hair ball. He thought before lashing his intensified Shadow wire at the wolf's back, in the hopes that it would cut through the monsters skin like it has to others.

[Maxxorlord]

Ghost watched as the creature turned around and seemed to shrug off the drugged projectiles like they were annoying flies. As the werewolf lunged, Ghost vanished. The invisible hero ducked under the werewolf and dived straight between its legs, rolling as he hit the asphalt. Not but a few seconds after Ghost pushed himself to his feet and started to silently move away from the beast, did a flashbang go off. The young hero suspected it had come from an arrow from their blind archer, who seemed to be a surprisingly good shot. As his senses cleared, Ghost scaled part way up a building behind him and perched in a window sill. Only moments after Ghost was in a good position to look out over the skirmish, two explosions went off. One seemed to detonate on the wolf, while the other must have been thrown to the side by the creature before it exploded.”Are you trying to kill me?!” Ghost snarled into the communicator.

The information Hector had given them all wasn’t exactly reassuring. This thing was a walking tank.”Any weaknesses? Suggestions?” Ghost asked, watching the battle continue. As Sam entered the fray and began to taunt the beast with a card trick of all things, Rick’s heart sank. That guy was totally insane. Ghost couldn’t get his eyes away as the werewolf charged down Sam. Then he heard a familiar battle cry, and a crack of lightning. That Shazam Jr. kid! Ghost sighed in relief as Shazam easily man handled the monster. When Star and Whisper stepped in, Rick was sure the Wolf would be down and out soon. These guys weren’t as bad as he’d originally thought. Ghost’s head clicked up as he heard something approaching. ‘Is that a jet?’ Ghost thought to himself. When the voice of someone called Burner came over the communicator, Ghost felt this win was in the bag. He could probably just sit up on that window sill and watch them beat the thing into the ground.

Then the wolf broke out. At first, Ghost thought that it would only be temporary. Then the thing lifted Star over its head, and it looked as if it was going to smash her against the asphalt. It’d be like Batman and Bane all over again. Ghost leaped off the window sill and landed on the top of a car, and then he jumped onto the ground. Ghost sent a pair of shurikens flying through the air at the beast, more than sure that it could take them no problem. He then whipped out his knives, and vanished. Ghost began to circle the beast, looking for an opening for attack. After Whisper whipped the thing, Ghost jumped in and went on the offensive. He reappeared right in front of the werewolf, sending a flurry of slices at its left leg. Ghost then rolled around and behind the werewolf, getting ready to dodge some claw slashes or lunges.”Put her down.” Ghost growled, feeling defensive of his new team already.

[Necrosis]

Having now given the evacuation order to the police and firefighters, Hector could focus on supporting his team. He placed his hand on the Jet and gave it an override command. He started the Jet, activated the Cameo and then took off. C.A.I.S. began to give him the details about the Jet. It seemed the weapons were anti air, his powers could help out guiding the shots but he would still have a hard time aiming yet it would have to do.

As Hector flew the Jet up he began to scan what was going on below him. Ghost was asking for suggestions. “No weaknesses are stated here. Suggestions, hit and run.” said Hector as he wished he could give more information. He looked down and could barely see the fight since they were fighting at night, only the new hero who had just arrived Hector could see since he was being illuminated by flames. Thus Hector activated the search light and pinpointed it at Wolf, hoping the light would temporarily blind and distract him, thus creating an opening for his team. “This is Override, stand down wolf or I will open fire.” said Hector over the Jet speakers as he began to warm up the Jet machine gun and deactivated the Cameo. He made sure that there was some distance between the two of him, thus he would be able to attempt a dodge at any attacks.

[Stryder]

The shadows coiled around Wolf's arm, the other still had a secure grip on Star's wrist. Wolf was about to pull Seamus forward forcefully by using his own shadow tether against him, the razor wire-like shadows lashed at his back causing him to let out an angered roar, gripping the length of the shadowy wire with his hands and pulling Seamus through the air, making him barrel toward the jet face-first. He continued his action with Star and slammed her down on her back into the asphalt with the downward force of ten tons, one seemed out of commission. Wolf let out a loud deafening roar toward the others that stood against him, the moon was rotating to the other side of the world it seemed. The longer the team fought Wolf, the more time they wore down, they could stop the madness if they could hold out.

[HellHoundWoof]

Burner saw his teammate go sailing through the air and his other teammate slammed into the pavement, Burner snapped. He ignited his fire and scorched his uniform, his entire body now consisted of fire. He ran forward throwing intense balls of flame towards the beast with precision he barreled forward. Burner propeled himself forward and clasped his fists together in a ball over his head, he descended and brought them down on the beasts head. Burner landed on a knee and rolled backwards all the while encased in thick flames, he launched fireballs at the beast from a safe distance trying to keep it in a central location until his teammates could give him an assist. Burner felt his flame getting out of control and realized he was emitting too much heat so he pulled back, but perhaps pulled back too much as the density of his fireballs shrank back to normal size. He reignited himself and managed to squeeze out a few more high density fire balls but they soon returned to normal density, he knew he couldnt keep this up forever and would need the help of anybody somebody.

[Necrosis]

It seemed Hector plan had failed and now one of his teammates was headed towards him. Hector instinctively used his powers and got the Jet to move out of the way. His teammates were getting plumed out there, Hector was going to have to support them more directly thus he switched to hover-mode and began to fly in a circle looking for a clear shot at Wolf. Hector saw his newest teammate firing several fireballs at Wolf. “I’ve got your back.” said Hector over the comm-link as he placed the Jet just slightly above Burner. This time Hector place both searchlights straight at Wolf face at maximum setting, hoping to daze him for a second. As soon as Wolf would come towards them he would open fire, hopeful making Wolf back off.
