Hardly had Knight taken her first step before a new figure appeared right behind her. She turned and breathed a sigh of relief. Both that it was not an enemy that had surprised her. And that she hadn’t greeted Dr. Fate with a knee to the helmet.
[color=gold]”Forgive the delay. I am Dr. Fate, and today, fate is at your side.”[/color] he said, his voice almost echoing in the streets, though such would seem to violate the laws of nature.
Knight clicked her tongue in response. [color=fdc68a]“Eh… cool,” [/color]she answered and hoped it didn’t come off as disrespectful. She had once again caught herself wondering, if she should complete her [i]Knight persona[/i] by adding a helmet.

Seriousness came when approaching the Cult of Cobra. The chaos, that had surely ensued when the cult arrived, had resulted in a traffic jam going on for about to blocks each way. Aside from a few civilians hugging the steering wheel, the streets seemed rather empty. Only the distant yells of fear reminded the Justice League that people hadn't disappeared, merely run away.
As Phantom had already been able to pinpoint the Kobras hiding on the rooftops, Knight and the others could advance, knowing full well how the ambush would happen.
[color=fdc68a]“Lock the doors. Stay in there,”[/color] she mumbled while passing an elderly woman shaking her in vehicle. Knight turned her head to Robotman.[color=fdc68a] “We’re on the same page, right? Keep the attention on us and away from the people in the cars.”[/color]
In the absolute center, where all the roads crossed, stood who could only be the current commander of this assault: A 7ft tall, scaly monster. Neither man nor snake. His dark red scales shone in the sunlight as if slightly greasy. When speaking a raspy s-sound followed. [color=7bcdc8]“Welcome Justice League to your deathssss!”[/color]
Knight blinked and turned to the others. [color=fdc68a]“Well, who didn’t see that line coming?” [/color]she mumbled.
[color=7bcdc8]“My name iss Aliff and-“[/color]
[color=fdc68a]“If that's your name, you should consider buying a vowel,”[/color] she interrupted and saw his narrow pupils twitch.
In a fit of animalistic rage, he dissed the robe, he had been wearing and revealed his bare chest and well-built arms. Like pythons they were. Instead of a command he used his strong neck to snap in the general direction of the heroes while doing a long hissing sound. Somehow that qualified as an attack order.
Only the mouths and hands were visible on his men, but that alone made them look not entirely human. The rest of their bodies were covered in skintight material, displaying various Egyptian symbols and snake drawings. When climbing down the building with unnatural speed, it was clear they outnumbered the League and wouldn’t exactly be pushovers. Their roars were loud and their claws visibly poisonous.
[i]Alright, let’s do this the hard way, I guess.[/i]
Knight jumped on top of an abandoned station wagon and hit her wrists together, creating a firework of sparks.

And then the fight was on…
