Malefic Intentions

[scourge_of_mars]

Ma'alefa'ak could feel it, his body was nearly healed of its wounds. The burn scars on his body, a souvenir from his last battle with his brother, were nearly gone. His strength, almost returned, he could feel his the pinpricks of energy as he tested his connection to his Martian vision. He stretched and morphed his arm into a serrated blade, then

The Cyborg Superman feels the slam of Hawkman's mace into the back of his head as Garrick pushes the winged hero aside from Henshaw's charge.

"Grraaarr!!" Henshaw lashes out with both fists. "Martian, it is your time to get involved!" Henshaw stops transmitting, and fires a full blast of his heat vision into the computers, hoping to cause an explosion.

Malefic couldn't contain the smile that came across his face upon hearing the Cyborg's message. He was getting "cabin fever" as the humans called it, and was eager to hurt something.

"Get me a ship, I'm going planet-side."

[jl_aliens]

"Of course, your malignantness!" The Psion had until that point been wondering how to address the hugely powerful creature, and 'malignant' was the first word that sprung to mind.

The alien types in a code, and a ship is prepared in dock 7 to set the course down to Rann.

[scourge_of_mars]

Malefic raises an eyebrow at the Psion's choice of address, but lets it go. Malefic walks away towards the dock, the ship in his sights.

"Computer, engage auto-pilot, transport me to the location of the Cyborg."

"Affirmative." The computer states as Malefic enters the craft. With the Martian inside, the ship takes off toward the battle-ridden Rann.

...As the Psions in orbit waited, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one not so gently rapping, rapping at thier chamber door...

**WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!**

The hull of the Psion ship shudders violently as a colossal emerald raven pecks randomly at the outer shell of the orbiting vessel.

At that point an earth police patrol car pulls up along side the starcraft...in space.

The window rolls down and Green Lantern Guy Gardner leans out the window.

"Afraid yer vehicle is parked in tow-away zone guys.
Kin I see yer license ‘an registration?"

Guy’s been spoiling for a fight for weeks now...

[jl_aliens]

Kritik, the Psion commander left in charge of the mothership while Henshaw and Despero were on Rann, jolted in surprise at the sudden intrusion.

"A Green Lantern!? Damn it!" He sent a message down to the planet.

"The mothership has come under attack by a Green Lantern. We're engaging him now!"

Another Psion voice answered back.

"Idiot!" Kritik recognized the voice as Grallex, a young, but brilliant genetic engineer who had accompanied the Cyborg to Rann. "His Lordship has already killed one person for reporting bad news. Do you want to be next!? Green Lantern involvement was anticipated."

He heard the geneticist speak want sounded like a code phrase.

"Sir, something is exiting the ship!"

[guy_lantern]

The patrol car's passenger door opens and hundreds of small primates of various species (all wearing tiny police outfits of the keystone cops genre) come pouring out.
They swarm the ship and begin tearing bits and pieces of the external hull and exposed components away.

Meanwhile Guy casually exits the car and starts writing tickets. Each one gets lazily torn out of his ticket book and tossed at the ship. Each one explodes on contact...

"Lessee, no registration.." BOOM!
"No Licence..." BOOM!
"No license Plates" BOOM!
"Illegal parking..." BOOM!
"Resisting arrest...ooh that's gonna be a big one.." BOOM!

"and Oh Yeah, ....BEIN' INVADIN' DOUCHEBAGS!!!"

The mock 'cop' trappings dissolve, monkeys and all, and Guy levels his ring at the main engines.

A sizzling green blast of energy collides...

[jla_sinestro]

Probably the last thing Guy expects is the yellow barrier in the form of a metallic wall that forms in front of the engine.

Gleen was a Krolotean, called Gremlins by many in the galaxy, a race in ways more infamous than the Psions for their cruel experiments. Gleen was cruel even for a Krolotean, thus he was chosen as a member of the Sinestro Corps. During the invasion of Earth, Gleen had hung back, the battle holding little appeal for him save for the occasional cruel amusement. After Sinestro's defeat, Gleen was among those who escaped capture. It was then he came across the Cyborg, who he agreed to serve in exchange for access to Psion technology. He'd been working on upgrading the Cyborg's Chemos when he received the signal from Rann.

"A Green Lantern," Gleen smiled, his fangs glistening. "how marvelous."

He extends his arm out, sending a barrage of hundreds alien-looking, golden scalpels towards Guy.

Despero's Rage

[jla_villains]

"Aaaaaagh!"

Despero was a hair trigger away from killing everyone in his path. The stubborn human Hourman countered his every tactic, Strange's soldiers continued to pepper him blaster shots, somehow the human Mr. Teriffic was surviving his encounter with both the Matron and her soldiers along with the areas Chemos, and to top it all off that ridiculous song was still playing!

"ENOUGH!!"

With a roar Despero unleashes a massive psionic shockwave, determined to destroy the minds of all present. The Chemos would be safe, but not the Psions. If Henshaw didn't like it..oh well.

Re: Despero's Rage

[mr_henshaw]

"NO!" Henshaw feels the psionic wave rush over him, and being mostly a mechanical being he's unaffected.

It's all he can do to look up again, and see that there's nobody else around. Nobody. It's as if the entire population has been Zeta-beamed away.

"Oh, hoo hoo, haha." The Cyborg sits himself on the ground near Malefic's currently prone, but undoubtedly recovering form. "It seems we have won the day, my martian accomplice. It looks like Despero may have lost his head, however."

Henshaw pats Malefic's knee, or what poses for a knee anyway, and begins transmitting a signal to the planets that commissioned the takeover. "It is successful."

Re: Despero's Rage

[scourge_of_mars]

Malefic may no longer possess telepathy, but he is still a Martian and as such recovers quicker than most from the psionic attack.

"I'll kill that brute for this." Malefic growled as he regained consciousness. "My head is reeling."

Malefic looks at Henshaw with curiosity.

"I thought that was a deception to tell the humans. You mean you actually were commissioned to do this?"

Re: Despero's Rage

[mr_henshaw]

Henshaw stares blankly at Malefic. "Indeed. A consortium of races and planets, from the Anndrann to the Spider Guild; they signed a charter declaring that Rann was to have its technological advances stopped. They did not specify how, but I'm sure none of the voters will argue with our methods."

He smirks. "They wouldn't dare, now that we have all of Rann's power at our disposal."
