[COLOR=slategray][center][b][u][h3]Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo[/h3] [sub]Interacting with: [@Lord Wraith][@Nightrunner][@Gowi][@Konica][@FantasyChic][@King Kindred] [/sub][/u][/b][/center][hr][hr][/COLOR] Starro swung and lashed out at the assembled heroes, heedless of the collateral damage he caused in the process, smashing lights, buildings and tarmac into dust, the force of his blows colossal. Miss Appear's hastily constructed forcefield managed to protect her new allies, as well as the bystanders that Captain Marvel was still rushing to evacuate, her bulwark infuriating the giant alien. In his fury he struck harder, pushing the magician to the limit. [i][color=gold][b]"SHAZAM!"[/b][/color][/i] Mystical lightning burst from the sky with all the sound and fury of God's own judgement. . . which, in this case, it pretty much was. Nightwing had already revealed Starro's weakness towards electricty, and while his size was now increased tenfold it appeared that the galactic conqueror had become no fonder of the phenomena. The eldritch horror's arms seized in upon itself, convulsing in pain, a psionic scream tearing from it's tortured mind. Like the puppets of a puppeteer suffering a fit, the starfish controlled hordes followed suite, shuddering and howling like men and women possessed. Even the mighty Cobi couldn't help but succumb to the same fate, grizzly axe falling from nerveless fingers as the giant warrior fell to his knees in wordless agony. Tongue's of lightning still danced upon Starro's flesh as it began to tumble from the skies. The vast majority of the creature's enthralled hordes had already fallen unconscious by the time it's bloated body had struck the tarmac, Mr Unknown among them, victim to Static's electrifying attack. Only a hardy few and Cobi himself still stood to continue the battle, though even the mighty axe-wielder seemed like he had very little taste left for the fight. [sub]"You did it. . . ,"[/sub] Snapper gasped down the comm-lines. Suddenly Starro's eye opened wide, bloody iris full of rage and fury. A tendril of alien power snaked out from the Conqueror, and in the space between seconds it spreads outwards, penetrating deep into the minds of all nearby, seeping black despair deep into their psyches. Virulent images of death and decay, an earth in tattered ruins, humanity brought to heel under the might of the Conquerer, filled the minds-eye of the League Members in Tokyo. It would take a mighty display of willpower to dispel the telepathically summoned funk, but the team would have to act quick, as Starro was already using the brief lull to hover back into the air, readying himself to continue the fight.

He'd taken worse than a little electrical shock and come out laughing. He swore even louder when Question's smoke pellets exploded all around him. He was struggling to keep up with so many different attacks, even if they were feebler than he was used to. He fixed his attention of Red Arrow and the Imp, adding the Question to his list to kill later. Manchester Black had traded blows with Superman, but Donna Troy was several degrees more vicious than the Man of Steel had ever been. The telekinetic squealed like a stuck pig at his broken wrist, the pain so intense that there was no room left for thought in his head, and so he couldn't even begin to mount a defense in the face of her submissive grab. Within a minute Black was unconscious, trundled up in a length of magical lasso, and safely deposited in a quiet corner of the prison. Metallo didn't prove as susceptible to Donna's attack as Black however. The metal man twisted his limbs at grotesque angles, feats of flexibility that no normal flesh-and-blood human could ever hope to achieve, until he had managed to reverse the hold. Now it was the Amazons turn to find herself ensnared in another's hold, with Metallo torso to torso with her, his legs wrapped tight around her waist, and arms around her neck and arms, holding her limbs tight to her sides. With inexorable force the kryptonite powered cyborg began to squeeze, powerful enough to even break the Princess of Themiscyra. Livewire caught sight of Stargirl's approach, and wasted no time in firing off a barrage of blue bolts, all the while pouring on more speed to facilitate her escape. It was obvious the electrokinitec was aiming to 'live to fight another day'. Meanwhile Shrapnel tanked both of Red Arrow's explosives with little difficulty, and was preparing to tear the archer apart with a bombardment of metal when S.T.R.I.P.E's attacks crashed into him. The villain was knocked from his feet, but wasted no time in rolling back to his knees. With an angry snort he hurled an attack at Pat's armored form, yet wasted no time in seeing if it collided before chasing Harper across the yard, aiming to now tear Green Arrow's former-ward apart with his bare hands. Moonrider's surprise attack on King Shark sent the metahuman careening wildly through the water, though the aquatic villain quickly managed to arrest his own momentum and right himself. Without checking his pace he dove deeper into the inky waters, so quick that the New God struggled to follow his movements. It was near instantly apparent that the shark was the faster here, under the waves. Nanaue came up from underneath Moonrider, swimming faster than any torpedo, one hand outstretched to reach for his enemies ankle, his mouth wide open and baring rows of yellowed, razor sharp teeth, eager to mulch Mark into chum.
