Alarms sounded and computer went into frantic overdrive. "Whats going up Cap?," Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron man asked. "Parallax was among the escaped prisons," Captain America replied, he was now dressed in his original costume and carrying his original shield "He's recruited a small group of villains and is now heading towards populated areas." Captain America continued. "Then we better form up and intercept him before he does any real damage," Iron man replied, as he suited up in one of his armours, mrk 50, the Endo-Sym Armor. "Tony," Captain America interrupted, "before you go and try to take on Parallax head on, please tell me you have a plan." "I do have a plan Cap," Iron man answered, "attack." Before Captain America say another word Iron man took off. "Waste of breath," Captain America sighed, shaking his head. He turned back to the computer, "calling all Justice Force members this is a priority omega alert," he said. Meanwhile. Iron man, along with a team heroes he had managed to pick up, touched down ahead of Parallax and his teams last known location. "No matter happens to us," Iron man declared, "we can't let Parallax or his teammates make it to the city." "Affermative," Red Tornado nodded. "Finally," smiled Hercules, creaking his knuckles and readying himself for battle "a challenge." "I won't let that monster hurt any innocent lives," Rex Mason a.k.a. Metamorpho, the Element man agreed. "You guys heard Stark," Adam Bernard Brashear a.k.a. Blue Marvel nodded, "they can't get past us." The other members of the group: Dr. Light, She-Hulk, Elongated Man, Darkhawk all nodded. Soon some shapes could be seen on the horizon, "I have a bad feeling about this," Ralph Dibny a.k.a. Elongated Man said, nervously. "Thanks Ralph," She-Hulk replied, sarcastically, "your really filling with us with confidence." "Get ready," Iron man declared. Everyone readied themselves as the shapes on the horizon advanced towards them. Elsewhere. "Thanks for agreeing to met with me," Captain America said, he was now in the Justice Society's old base of operations. "Anything to help out an old friend," Jay Garrick a.k.a. Original Flash smiled. "I Remember when you were just skinny little kid from Brooklyn, wanting be solider," Cater Hall a.k.a. Hawkman commented. "And I remember reading about you guys in the papers," Captain America replied, "it was because of you guys that I wanted to do my part to fight for my country." "We've all seen a lot haven't we Steve," Henry Heywood a.k.a. Commander Steel sighed, "Yes, we have," Captain America nodded. "And we've also lost a lot too," Commander Steel continued, "the first Human Torch, The Hunted Tank, Whizzer, Sgt. Rock & Easy Company, Liberty Legion, Rocketeer, Sergeant Charlie, most of Blackhawk Squadron and The Sea Devils, Johnny Quick & the first Liberty Belle, the first Howling Commandos team, The Losers and The Lobster." "Not to mention, James Bigglesworth," added Doctor Mid-nite. "Anyway," Captain America said, "I didn't come here to take a trip down memory lane, I came because Parallax has returned." Everyone in the room froze at the mention of the name. "You can't be serious," John "Johnny" L. Thunder a.k.a. Johnny Thunder answered, not daring to believe Captain America. "I wouldn't be here if that wasn't the case," Captain America replied, "can I count on you, all of you to fight by my side again? Like old times." There was a pause. "Captain Rogers," Kent Nelson a.k.a. Doctor Fate said, stepping forward, "It would be an honour to fight by your side again." The rest of the Justice Society: Sandman, Green Lantern, Wildcat, Power Girl, Original Red Tornado and Cyclone, Stargirl, the second Liberty Belle and S.T.R.I.P.E among others all nodded agreeing with Doctor Fate. "Alright then," Captain America smiled. Back with the Champions. It was after school, the girls and others were at Rainbow Dash's house having dinner with Rainbow's parents Bow Hothhoof and Windy Whistles. "Thanks for dinner Mr & Mrs Dash," Quicksilver said, as he finished the food on his plate. "No problem, sweetie," Windy Whistle smiled, "its always good to meet some of our Rainbow's new friends." "Right," Bow Hothhoof added, sharing his wife's smile, "the more, the merrier." "Anyway," Windy continued, "we've told you about us." "Yeah," Bow nodded, "tell us something about you." "There's not much to tell," Quicksilver replied, "me and my sister never knew our mum and the relationship with our dad has never a easy one." "You have a sister?" Windy inquired, "where is she?" "I wish I knew," Quicksilver sighed, "after dad was arrested...." Before Quicksilver could continue he was interrupted by one of others calling his and Rainbow Dash name's from the living room. Both of them rush out of the room, "That kid sure is fast," Bow said. "Yeah, no kidding," Windy agreed. In the living room. "What's up?" Rainbow Dash asked, as she and Quicksilver entered the room. Nova pointed at the TV screen, showing Iron man and his team doing battle with Parallax and followers. Back with the team. Iron man and Parallax faced each other the members of Iron man's team lay beaten and broken all around them. "Tell me Tony Stark," Parallax said, "what did you and your allies hope to accomplish here?" "Taking you down!" Iron man cried. He flew straight at the villain firing his hand repulsors at him. Parallax simply waved the attacks away. "Poor little Stark," Parallax smirked, "building a suit to save the world and trying to play god." Parallax fired a powerful energy blast at the hero, knocking him out of the air. "I shall drown this world in fear, Tony Stark," Parallax said, "you are no match for someone like me," he laughed. Iron man got to his feet, refusing to let Parallax go any further. "I'll never except your world of fear," Iron man declared, standing his ground, "I'll do what I can to protect the ones that I love and if you try to stop me I'll blast you away." "And how pray tell are you going to do that?" Parallax asked. "Like this," Iron man replied, "Friday," he cried, "NOW!" In answer, Iron man's most powerful armour the Hulkbuster formed around iron man's armour. "Alright, Parallax," Iron man smiled, "now it's go time, me and you." The Hulkbuster charged at Parallax, grabbed him and started dragging him along the ground. After which he started to punch him over and over, with rapid-fire punches. All the while, Parallax was unfazed any of his attacks. "Fall down! Fall down! Fall down!" Iron man said, while punching him. "ENOUGH!" Parallax thundered, pushing Iron man away from him with an eruption of energy. Parallax then flew straight at Iron man, tearing him right out of the Hulkbuster armour and throwing him to the ground. "Stay down," Parallax said, standing over the defeated hero. Iron man tried to get back up, only for Parallax to place his foot on his chest plate. "I seriously advice, that you stay down!" Parallax ordered. The Tower of Justice. Captain America looked on, watching as Parallax and his team moved on leaving behind the defeated heroes. "Damn it, Tony," he said, He turned to J'onn J'onzz a.k.a. The Martian Manhunter, "You know what happens next, J'onn," he said. J'onn nodded, "I do my friend," he replied, "the die is cast, what happens now will be determine our worlds fate." Back with the girls and their teammates. "What happened?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "He ripped through those guys like they were nothing!" Ms Marvel said, just as shock Rainbow Dash, "He didn't even break a sweat." Everyone else sat in stunned silence. "Oh, guys," Twilight said, weakly, "I'm sure, Captain America and the Justice Force know how to stop them." "I hope," she muttered, under her breath.
