[b][i]Many heroes lost their lives on the fatal day when the Watchtower lost power and fell to Earth. Founding members Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and the Flash were all killed when the Watchtower fell. Several additional members (The Ray, Mr. Miracle , etc) were also thought to be dead. This left Earth's defenses almost crippled, with only a few heroes standing strong to fight the good fight. While Batman is more of a lone wolf, he is also part of the JLU. The team is still strong and capable but with the dwindling numbers it became increasingly hard to fight crime. The future Batman, Terry McGinnis, was offered a position by Superman, but he decided he wasn't ready just yet. Eventually, he did join the team.[/i][/b] CURRENT ROSTER: *Superman - An Elder Superman. *Warhawk - Who is the son of Shayera Al-Hol and Green Lantern John Stewart. *Aquagirl - Who is the daughter of Aquaman and Mera. [b]Kai-Ro (Green Lantern) - A Green Lantern in the future GLC.[/b] *Big Barda - An older version of Big Barda, who remains the same. [b]Micron - A member with shrinking/growing abilities who became injured, which prompted Terry to join.[/b] *Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond) - successor to the Batman legacy *Static - The former Milestone character [much older, early to mid 40's], who used to live in Dakota in the past. [b]Danica Williams (The Flash) - A young girl who with the help of her predecessor and speed force, became The Flash in the Beyond Universe of the DCU.[/b] But shortly before the game begins, the League has been compromised by Brainiac 3.7. Superman, Batman, Barda, Aquagirl, Static, and Warhawk, as well as several dozen civilians in Metropolis have been infected with a techno virus. Brainiac 3.7... [img=http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/07/brainiac_concept_body.jpg] The young Lantern [who's ring was taken by Brainiac'ed Superman to power his mechanical devices], the shrinking Micron, and the new Flash were the only remaining Leaguers left to activate the Unlimited Protocol. Several new meta-humans and 'friendly' aliens, super powered descendants of older heroes, as well as the older heroes themselves were contacted and offered a position in the Justice League Unlimited. You can be an elder version of a modern hero [currently Starfire is being shown in the Beyond/Unlimited universe], a legacy hero, an original, etc... the year is roughly 2040 and everything is as it was in the Batman Beyond cartoon. Bigger cities, huge corporations around every corner, flying cars, and the older Superman without a cape flying around with a Brainiac symbol on his head. Our current roster includes...

The year was 2040, the Justice League Watchtower on the northeast end of the city. The majority of the League was taken over by the alien thinking machine, Superman and the others flew around the city with Brainiac's tech implanted in their heads controlling their actions and powered by the energies of Green Lantern Kai Ro's ring. The controlled League gathered electronic components of various shapes and sizes for the newest model of Brainiac as dozens of civilians stood guard outside of the Watchtower. The newest Flash, a ringless Kai Ro, and the size altering Micron were the only Leaguers left. "We have to initiate the Unlimited Protocol..." Kai Ro said to both Micron and the Flash. "Where was the signal located, under the old Daily Planet building, right?" Micron asked. Danica Williams didn't know what was going on. She had only been a member of the JL for a few weeks and hadn't been briefed on the Unlimited Protocol. For a few moments she remained silent, then for a few moments she did a grounds sweep as the League was in an underground location. In a few seconds she returned, nothing new to report. "What's the Unlimited Protocol?" she asked the two founders. "The Unlimited Protocol is a signal designed to contact nearby metahumans within a five hundred mile radius of the signal. Designed to seek out former metahuman heroes and reformed criminals as well as their children, and what the system views as friendly aliens, the Protocol was created after the last attack of the Starros." Kai Ro began explaining. "If not for Batman helping the League and later joining, and Static taking down a mothership over NYC... the League would have been defeated. Now that we need backup to take back Metropolis and the Watchtower, this is our only option." Micron continued, "How fast can you get to the old Daily Planet building, Danica?" he asked after pausing for a moment. [b]Hours later....[/b] Night was falling in Metropolis. The underground HQ of the League was just outside of the city limits and as far away from the Watchtower as it needed to be keeping the distance between the Brainiac'ed League and civilians. A few blocks away from the Watchtower the civilians didn't seem as affected as the ones in the general area. Firestorm had just got to the city moments earlier but kept his distance from the League's Watchtower and all of the extra machinery and techno-virus'ed civilians. The Flash met up with the young hero near an abandoned subway station above ground about a block away from an entrance to their underground emergency sanctuary not listed in any League documents anywhere.... "Are you the new Firestorm from Midway?" Danica asked with a tired look on her face. "Yes ma'am. You the new Flash from Central?" he answered and asked in an almost military sounding tone while taking in his surroundings, stemming from the personality traits 'J' inherited from the homeless war vet James. "I'm too young for anybody to be calling 'ma'am'," Danica replied taking in a breath of air, "Come on, a few others beat you here..." the Flash continued running at an accelerated pace but nowhere near the speeds she runs while saving lives or fighting enemies. A few heroes had already gathered in the hidden location underground.... "What have I got myself into?" Firestorm thought walking in and noticing some of the others that had gathered around a meeting room complete with a round table and a 3D hologram map of Metropolis in the center. ~KL~
