''Footsteps can be heard descending down the stairs. The gloomy dark walls, brightened only by the faint torches lit here and there, crackle. The heroes, dirtied, beaten, and chained, hang there while the Mooks chatter amongst themselves.''

 Anyone have a way of escaping?

 They took all our weapons.

 And our powers...

 That sucks...

 Wonder when Ares is coming...

 Wait... this was ARES' idea?

 Yeah... he told us as much...

 When?

 We were captured. He told us...

 Indeed I did.

''Ares appears at the entrance of the stairways. He raises a hand, and all the chains fall off. The group feels their wrists (or whatever they were chained with) and look up at Ares.''

 So... you all have fought before.

''V makes an instant lunge for Ares. Ares grabs the air, and V disappears in a smoke. He reappears beside the rest of the heroes.''

 What the...

 I do not wish to kill you. But do that again, and I will be obliged to do so.

V growled, but said nothing else.

 Anyway... you heroes have been too chaotic. This universe is thrown into chaos.

 Isn't that your kinda mantra?

 Not really... in fact, my only desire is for a peaceful universe.

<Wendy> Good way of making that.

<Ares> Hmph. You all are not convinced... but perhaps seeing the worst of what this universe has to offer will do this.

<Jonas> We'll never join your side.

<Ares> It is not a matter of joining my side... it is just about believing in it.

Ares steps away.

<Ares> Oh... you'll need this.

''Ares gives everyone back their weapons and powers. They are stunned.''

<Ares> If you wish to defeat them... you'll need those.

<Jonas> You'll get nothing from us.

<Ares> Oh really?

''Ares waves his hand, and the landscape crumbles. It is replaced with the first bosses...''

Bosses
Atrocitus, the first Red Lantern!

Hela, the Norse goddess of Death!

Emperor Joker, the emperor of chaos!

AMAZO, the copier of powers.

Back to Story
<Ares> Even if you all have to face them?

<Atrocitus> With blood and rage of crimson red, ripped from a corpse so freshly dead, together with our hellish hate, we'll burn you all - that is your fate!

<Hela> I will welcome you... with death.

<Emperor Joker> I may not have my powers now, but I am still the clown prince of chaos!

<AMAZO> We will serve.

''Atrocitus is fueled by rage. The angrier he is, the more powerful he becomes (think Hulk, but more red, more variety).''

''Hela is the goddess of death. Because there has been a lot of death, she's already powerful as is.''

''Emperor Joker is depowered at the moment, but he's straight up unpredictable. Combating him will result in you probably not being able to read what he'll do.''

''AMAZO copies the powers of others, especially within proximity. This doesn't stack, but he can copy everyone's powers at once.''

<Ares> Good luck... you will need it.

<Jonas> ARES!

''Jonas lunges at Ares, but Atrocitus punches Jonas with a red construct. Jonas flies back, landing on his back.''

<Wendy> We have to take these guys down...

<Jonas> Then let's do it.
