An arrow flew through the air directly aimed at 18's eye.
She just moved her head slightly, but when it was passing next to her the arrow exploded.
Still that was an inconvenience at most, Aqualad used his water as a tentacle to grab her and hold her in place, then superboy rushed to punch her.
Energy exploded from her body pushing then all back as she aimed her hand at Artemis.
"Watch out"
Kid flash moved her out of the way as the ki blast caused another explosion.
18 kept shooting, aiming at the speedster, the explosions followed him as he ran desperately, knowing a hit would probably kill him.
Then a shrunken hit 18 exploding on impact, as before the attack didn't have any effect, but she stopped shooting to look at the kid who threw it.
"Really?"
"Make you look"
BOOOM 👊
Superboy finally connected a punch on her face.
Then they all watched as 18 just stayed where she was.
The attack did nothing.
"What?"
Superboy hit her several more times, the ground cracked and the air vibrated with each punch.
But 18 was just standing there looking at him.
"Well that's just sad"
Now it was her turn and she kneeled him on the stomach.
Superboy feel the air get knocked out of his lungs and then he was punched on the chin, the pain wasn't like anything he felt before, he had been sent flying before, but normally the initial attack was manageable and then he just needed to come back.
This time as he was flying through the air, he was more focused on the pain he was felling on his face.
Then he saw her, she appeared above him as he was flying, she had her hands raised above her head.
She swung then like a hammer sending him rocketing back to the ground.
As he was coughing inside a crater created by his body, she came flying and landed on his face with both feet.
The ground shook and a big dust cloud covered the area.
"SUPERBOY"
Magan tried to fly towards the area where he was, when a water wall appeared in front of her and a less than a second later a fist collided with it stopping inches from her face.
The attack stopped just long enough for her to become intangible and Seeing 18 pass through her so fast she only saw an after image.
Kid flash pursued the android, when she stopped he ran around her creating a tornado, he was buying time for the team to regroup.
Aqualad called the others and they came together to make a plan, all except superboy who was still down from the previous attack.
"She is just playing with us, she is fast and our attacks barely face her, superboy is our heaviest hitter and she didn't even feel his punches."
Artemis was panicking a little as someone who didn't want to be here in the first place she wasn't happy with the developments.
"Well do you have a plan? Because my arrows are not going to put a scratch on her."
Robin was in the same boat, he wouldn't get close to her and try to kick her like an idiot just to end up painting the pavement in red, so he could only be a distraction and with her speed he would have a hard time reacting to her if she decided to kill him.
"We already have a plan"
They looked at him.
"It's the same plan we had against King tuc, we create an opening and let Miss Martian attack her only weak point."
Aqualad understood.
"Her body is very resilient but we can attack her mind and maybe weaken her enough to knock her out."
Then a bright light came from inside the tornado as Wally was sent flying and landed hard next to his friends.
"Are you done getting your shit together, really you meat bags are the same even in a diferent dimension, all that planning and talking and you ignore the simple facts."
Robin looked at her curiously, he tried to get her to talk to buy more time.
"And what are those facts?"
"That you are inferior, that no matter if I wait 10 minutes or 10 years, you are never going to win against me."
Wally recover and stand up.
"Well that didn't stop the meat bags in your world from killing your brother and sending you to another dimension"
Robin knew that was the wrong thing to say as soon as the face of the android changed, it went from playful smile to sharp eyes in a millisecond.
The atmosphere grew cold and the air got thick, the very earth was trembling, like a small earthquake.
"You know, that is right, they couldn't defeat us in a fight so they had to use those cowardly methods, so I will stop playing around, better squish the bugs before they bite you."
Then she exploded forward faster than before and kicked kid flash on the leg, breaking it as he was send crashing into a truck that was parked nearby.
She turned and grabbed aqualad by tbe head, he tried to use water to defend himself but she flew at high speed and crashed him against a wall.
Next it was Miss Martian's turn and she became intangible again and watched a ki blast past through her chest.
"That is annoying, so let's do this"
18 disappeared from sight and blinked next to Artemis, grabbing her shoulder and forcing her to the ground.
"I'll count to 10 and if you are still doing that I will put a hole on her skull"
Robin tried to do something, throwing bombs and using gadgets but the android didn't even look at him.
"One, two, three"
A glowing ball of light appeared on her hand as she move it closer to Artemis.
"Fourth, five, six"
"Ok, just dont do that"
Megan became solid and as soon as she did 18 aimed the ki blast at her, just when she did Artemis pulled an arrow from her quiver and a flashbang trick arrow exploded in front of the blonde's eyes, forcing her to miss and let got of the archer.
Robin saw his chance and used a grappling hook to pull Artemis to him and then both ran to hide.
"Danm it"
18 was furious, if her brother was here he would laugh at her for letting a kid outsmart her.
Meanwhile the three remaining members of the team were hiding close by.
Megan had a deep wound on her shoulder where the blast graced her.
Robin had a grimace.
"I hate to say this but we need the league, some heavy weights that can actually hurt her."
"If we had waited as I said..."
Before Artemis finish Megan interrupted.
"Then the police officers would be death."
She knew that was right but it was a bitter pill to swallow.
"I'm not playing hide and seek with a bunch of brats."
18 had grabbed an unconscious Kaldur and she raised him by the neck.
"Get out here now or I kill him and then I will bring here the people from this city and execute them one by one until you show yourselves."
They moved fast and jumped out ready to fight, logically speaking they knew she was going to kill them as soon as she saw them, but they would not abandon a friend no matter what.
18 was surprised by how fast they show up, they were outclassed and they had gotten lucky by escaping from her once, if they stayed silent and escaped, there was little she could do about it, besides blowing up the entire city.
"You really are stupid creatures"
"Maybe but we made you look again"
The psychic link between the members of the team was very useful.
The Aqualad used water to loosen the grip on his neck and then superboy tackled her from behind, instead of punching her he held one of her arms with all his strength as Aqualad used his water to hold the other.
"Do it now"
Miss Martian rushed and focused on her mind, then 18 felt something wrong and she screamed and a force field pushed them all back, she got up and was shaken.
In all her time fighting she never felt something like it, her head felt heavy and her hands trembled.
"What did you do to me?"
Her fury was barely contained, she remembered something she wanted to forget, it was forced into her thoughts.
Memories of brutal experiments, of being treated like a lab rat and feeling powerless, of her brother holding her hand as the scientist injected her with unknown chemicals and the images of the same scientist writing in notebooks as she screamed and begged for mercy.
Tears started flooding from her eyes as she holded her head, a painful headache and several more memories flooded her mind.
It took a minute for her to calm down.
Then she stared at the one responsible, the green girl was on the ground unconscious.
She had to die, it was better get rid of this pest, as she was dangerous like a poisonous bug.
So she held her hand aiming towards the green girl and as another ki blast was charging, superboy grabbed her arm and he performed shoulder thrown.
She wasn't expecting that and her attack was canceled, then she crashed in to the ground.
"So you want to die first, ok I can help you with that"
She got up immediately and dodged and blocked his attacks easily, even while the others tried to give support.
Android 18 was a martial arts master, combined with her strength and speed there was no way an amateur like superboy could get a hit unless she allowed it or he got her by surprise.
18 disappeared in a blink of an eye reappearing next to him and kicked his arm causing a noise that the young heroes recognized, but never expected to heard from a kriptonian.
The cracking of bones breaking, superboy didn't go flying this time, he kneeled on the ground and screamed in pain, as his arm went limp.
18 fixed her hair and then, she kicked him again on the head, this time the kriptonian bounced a few times on the ground and lost consciousness.
She walked slowly towards superboy, ready to finish him up, then an arrow hit her back and she was surrounded in a foam that hardened a second later.
Meanwhile Robin jumped and picked up superboy using his grappling hook to jump away.
18 just emitted ki from her body freeing herself and looking annoyed at the teens.
"You really are starting to get on my nerves"
She smiled coldly and had an idea.
"I know what to do now, I'll wipe you out all together."
She floated into the air, higher and higher until she could see the entire city underneath.
The team watched as the android aimed her hand not at them but just below herself, a bright light illuminated the sky like a second sun.
Robin remembered the image of a blast destroying an entire city, he thought that was a power plant blowing up or some weapon used against the androids, but now he understood it was actually her.
If he took more time to read the files and understand the full capabilities of the enemy, he would have waited or just cover the police while they ran away, instead of fighting head on against her.
"This is bad, we need to do some..."
Then she fired and an explosion similar to a nuclear blast was visible from kilometers away and the shockwave alone was devastating.
When the attack was finished there was a heavy silence.
The team looked up and saw a green force field covering the sky above them.
Two green lanterns were floating in the sky, and then a missile hit 18, it didn't have effect but she looked at the black combat jet that fire it and tilted her head, confused by the bat shape of the thing.
Then someone punched her on the face and that sent her plummeting to the ground, for the first time since she arrived she got damaged from a physical attack.
When she got up, she saw a group of people standing in front of her.
It was a bizarre looking gathering of individuals, a woman with wings on her back holding a maze, another woman wearing a tiara and some kind of swimsuit and using sword, then a green man with red eyes, a man in a red suit with a lighting logo on his chest and older man wearing a suit that looked like a magician's get up.
Together with the two that stopped her attack, there was 7 new obstacles getting in her way.
Then a man in a blue skin tight suit and wearing a red cape spoke to her.
"A piece of advice, is better if you Surrender."
The justice league had arrived.
