Four part mini-series following on from the aftermath of the Dark Metal event.
Having freed Vril Drox, Batman says that the suits had been leading them to him for a reason and that he must have the same coding that his father does inside him and therefore knows what Brainiac’s plan was for the Justice League teams. But Vril replies that they had all been pawns and that Brainiac had been using them to save Colu, so that he could rule over the planet and send the Omega Titans to destroy Earth instead. Brainiac hated his home planet as it was the one world that escaped his control and that is why Vril had been imprisoned, simply for sharing his father’s genes.
There never was a plan. The suits his father had given to each of the justice league teams were designed to specifically channel the released energies into Brainiac. Vril cannot help them because they were also programmed to kill him and download his code into Brainiac.
Back on Earth Waller sees no option but to nuke the egg before the trees begin to grow but Green Arrow says that his friends can still save the day. Waller is unconvinced and replies that the very fact that the egg has activated proves his justice league colleague have either failed or a re dead. He then draws his bow and arrow and she draws her gun in a stand-off.
Meanwhile back on Colu, Team Wonder are making no headway in reactivating the Wonder Tree. The magicians tell Wonder Woman that their powers are being suppressed by the shits Brainiac forced upon them and that they cannot seem to be able to take them off either. Wonder Woman responds that where she came from magic isn’t defined by limitations – it’s about belief. She proceeds to wrap her lasso around the tree trunk as the other magicians tell her they believe in her. And in a flash of light they manage to reignite the Wonder Tree!
She radios to Batman that they have succeeded. Meanwhile Cyborg is unable to bring the Wisdom Tree to life but Harley Quinn inspires him to think out of the box and he suddenly come sup with a way of channelling his mother box to bring it to life.
At Team Mystery, Martian Manhunter says that now they have freed Drox they must also free all the people trapped in the shrunken cities and they need Starro to shield the peoples’ minds to avoid the shock. Starro has doubt but his team members encourage him as they do their best to keep the Omega Titan at bay while he does his thing.
As the people are evacuated into a transport conjured up by Sinestro, Starro attacks the Omega titans and wraps himself around its face. But the Titan tears Starro off, killing him and Superman tells the others that they need to get back to the ship and evacuate as there s no stopping the Titan now. Sure enough Colu is consumed in a fireball as the Titan consumes the world.
Back on Earth Green Arrow fires his arrow and plugs Waller’s gun barrel. He then tries to get in contact with Hal Jordan to try and boost a signal to get in touch with the justice league but suddenly an energy tree erupts from the ground and the world realises to its horror that the other three Omega Titans have arrived.
Waller tells a stunned Green Arrow that the league have failed and the world is about to end.
