Chapter 11 - 11 Clash (1/2)
Gray stood still, his spear on the ready for any incoming attack from the members of The Team. He knew the personalities of each member as well as their individual abilities.
Kid Flash, the fifteen year sidekick of the Flash, vanished in a yellow and red streak and appeared on the side of Rider.
Everything was slow motion to the yellow speedster. He found that when he ran, the entire world around him slowed down because he was moving too fast.
The only people to ever match his speed other than his mentor, the Flash, was Superman and Wonder Woman. The former was the greatest Hero on Earth, and the latter was the daughter of a Greek God and had the blessings of many other female Gods.
The could ”see” him when he ran, and had reflexes to counter his moves. An he firmly believed that they were the only beings that could see him whenever he ran.
Wally gazed into the golden-amber eyes of this Rider figure in front of him which slowly turned to look at him. The former's eyes widened at the superhuman movement of the silver armored figure, who waved his spear in a cutting motion, colliding with the sternum of Kid Flash.
The fifteen year old never saw it coming.
The other seven members of The Team only saw Wally's figure vanish like it normal did, not to be sent flying back in a instant from a wave of Rider's spear.
Their teammate wasn't heavily injured, but knew that his pride was damaged more than anything.
The sound of the spear tapping the ground echoed throughout their ears and green colored lightning bounced off his body like a coat.
”Let's dance”.
With an earth shattering boom, the red striped figure of Rider vanished, and Miss Martian's voice resounded throughout all of their minds.
”He's above us!”.
Superboy was the first to respond to M'gann's words and the clone leaped up, pulling back his right arm to swing at the Pseudo-Servant.
They all though that since Rider was mid-air, he would have no way of dodging the powerful blow of the Kryptonian. He may not possess the same level of strength as the real Superman but his strength still exceeded that of many metahumans.
But they were wrong.
In a flash of light, Rider's silver armor changed slightly, and the image of a large diamond shaped shield took its place.
The weapon collided with Superboy's arm, but the latter's eyes widened as the ox hide covered shield not not bend, dent or break for that matter. Only Gray's glowing pink colored eyes showed any form of movement, before the clone was smacked into the ground with a force far greater than he previously expected.
”Conner!”.
Miss Martian neglected her psychic connection to the rest of the team, and gestured for Zatanna and Artemis to attack from afar. Having Aqualad confront him directly and Robin and Batgirl taking potshots in order to reveal weaknesses and anger Gray.
The target of said potshots nodded his head somewhat at the thought of said plan.
”Not bad, not bad. But you guys need to do your homework before picking a fight with someone like me”.
The heavy silver armor of Ajax The Great vanished and Achilles sleek silver armor took its place once more. The green garbed archer shot several arrows during this transformation, all hitting their targets and exploding directly on Gray's body.
