Vic, or rather Tank, showed up just as Batman, his team and the Amazons were quickly forming a reconnaissance strategy. He was greeted with fear for a moment by Lysandra and her warriors, but their fears were quickly quelled as Batman explained he was on their side. Before they could fill Vic in, however, everyone suddenly stopped and looked around at one another. A sudden deafening silence fell followed by a cold that was imaginably as cold as death itself. “What was that?!” Sara said out loud. Zatanna and Lysandra spoke almost in unison. “Doom's Doorway is opened.” “That's it! We can't wait!” Billy declared. “Let's take'em out while we have the chance.” “No!” Batman shouted. “We need to trap Scorn. She is the key. Her capture will mean saving Diana, stopping her mechs and maybe even stopping Antiope. There are plenty of us here, so let's make use of the forces we have.” Batman turned to Lysandra. “Scorn may have her soldiers set up in the old guard positions. You and your soldiers will know the layout and any hidden ways. Take thirty of your warriors and enter the temple secretly. My team and your other twenty women will take a frontal assault.” “Very good. You heard'em sisters! You, you and you.” She pointed to each of her squad leaders. “North flank, south flank and cliff side.” Assigning each squad a target. “Us three will take the roof. Let's go!” Everyone scattered to their targets and the Justice League with the other Amazons went through the temple. After passing through the main gate, they faced stairs that led to the up to a statue of Hades and the entrance gate into the cliff wall. The quickly and cautiously made their way up until they faced the entrance to chamber of the Stone Guardian. Before they could enter the chamber, a massive commotion was heard. It was a horrific sound comprised of moaning, growls, squawks and a sound of clacking bones and banging steel. “Everyone! Back! Clear the way!” Batman shouted. Everyone cleared the way from the steps and moved up onto the walls of the entrance where the massive burners sill lit the area with their flames. Batman peered through the entrance then quickly retreated using a his grappling gun to get up and out of the way just as a flood of skeletons, zombies and feathered, clawed and winged humanoids poured from the entrance. They moved quickly and Batman guessed a several hundred passed through before it stopped. He dropped to the ground and looked into the chamber. “Let's go.” He called and led the way in. Inside the chamber, he marveled at the massive dead beast scattered around the chamber. Lysandra and the rest of her warriors all entered this chamber from other secret entrances. They were immediately greeted by gunfire from Scorn's soldiers that had taken up hiding spots behind the dragon's body and other rock formations. A few of Lysandra's women went down right away. But the retaliation was relentless. Batman was one to order prisoners be taken and to kill as few as possible, but here, he was the outsider and had to leave it up to Lysandra to run her own show. As it was, the heroes quickly dispatched some of Scorn's soldiers with Lysandra and her warriors taking out the rest. Some were killed, but most were taken out and tied up. It was forty five Amazons and seven heroes against fifteen of Scorn's enhanced soldiers. They put up a good fight, but were severely outnumbered and fell in only a few moments. Batman wasted no more time, he didn't want another horde of Hades to get out. What had already escaped would be trouble enough for Hippolyta's army. He quickly approached Lysandra. “Take care of the entrance to here and this last portal so NOTHING can get out of here! And as many as possible of your soldiers follow me!” Continued below...
