Chapter 73 - 72 Rhongomyniad (1/2)
Overhead in the skies above the city that never sleeps a green trail of lightning cut through the dark storm clouds that gathered overhead causing many passerby's to scream and shout out Gray's alter ego, as the sound of camera's and typing echoed throughout the streets.
The Team, who were leaping over buildings as they separated into three teams as Robin relayed the information he received from Batman who was standing in the Watchtower.
The boy wonder spoke,
”Artemis, Kid Flash, Aqualad and I will head to the Brooklyn Bridge”.
The other three superheroes nodded as Robin continued to speak.
”Superboy, Miss Martian, Batgirl and Zatanna will head towards the Statue of Liberty. Readings indicate that a large power source can be seen from orbit. Be careful, we don't know the full capabilities of our enemy”.
The Atalantean, Martian, human and magician all nodded before flying away in another direction. Cassie, Kara and Mareena all headed towards Central Park, in the direction that Gray was headed.
”Wonder Girl, Supergirl and Aquagirl. You three will head towards Central Park. It is the largest power source in the city, so expect a heavy resistance”.
The three girls nodded before flying away from the rest of the Team, heading towards the massive plot of greenery in the center of the city. The other two groups headed towards their locations and Kara looked up at the green streak in the sky above her. Gray's figure constantly darted in and out of her field of vision, as something was blocking her x-ray vision from peaking through the storm clouds.
The last daughter of Krypton looked towards Cassie and Mareena before pointing up towards the storm clouds.
”I think they've somehow lined the clouds with lead particles! I can't see through it!”.
A flash of bright pink light went off in the sky above New York, and a plummeting figure could be seen hurtling down from the black sea of thunder above. Even with Kara's vision she couldn't see who the person was.
She felt a hand on her shoulder and saw Mareena, who was holding onto Cassie as the latter flew, give her a small smile.
”Don't worry about him. He'll be fine. And, as much as you hate to admit it, he has Caster backing him up”.
Kara seemed slightly irked at the mention of the purple haired Goddess but smiled at her friend. She through the worries about Gray to the back of her mind as she, Wondergirl and Aquagirl landed in historic landmark, frowning as the familiar face in front of them dismounted and introduced them self.
A beautiful white steed covered in armor that was not crafted by mortal hands. It's presence caused ripples in the ambient mana around them, just like Gray did when he installed Berserker while using Madness Enhancement.
The person, or Servant rather, wore an equally pure and pristine white armor, with a large flowing mane coming out the back of it's headpiece. A flowing blue dress could be seen out the bottom of the heavy armor, and not even the reflection of light of the iris could be seen by the girls, let alone with Kara's x-ray vision.
They extended their right arm and clasped and invisible object. A large air current gathered around the object and caused gale force winds to billow out.
Due to the girls non-human origin, none blinked, let alone moved in the face of such a wind. The sound of a chuckle could be heard from behind the helmet.
”I'm glad that the women of this era are as strong as you three. It gives me some semblance of hope in the human race..... although you three aren't human.... are you?”.
Her voice carried a strange power to it despite its British origins. It sounded similar to Archer's accented voice, but much more collected, and much more royal and powerful. It's femininity could not be disguised.
Kara, Cassie and Mareena adopted less than passive postures which caused this Servant to chuckle even further.
”Do not feel threatened by me young ones. I myself hold no ill will towards those who are not human. I myself became more than human before my death. It would be hypocritical of the King of Lions to disrespect those who serve the people..... I would be denying myself in a way”.
