Robot Despoilers of the Crescent City!

GREEN ARROW:
Conner unplugs the wire the windup-bots left behind by using his needle nosed pliers arrow.

He give the fire marshal a pat on the back. With his hand. He resists the impulse to use up his backpatting arrow.

He then follows as best he may the wire toward its source.

He calls Monkey King and Shade on the convenient miniature ear radio and tells them where he is and what he is doing, and asks their status.

The wire leads through a pair of walls and a basement, to a fantastically elaborate arching city of wheels, hanging globes, swooping cables and ornate balconies, mostly contained within a YMCA basketball court but extending into the street on three sides.

Many, many robots toil therein, building prefabricated towers to slot into newly-prepared ground paved by other robots. They are slowly erasing Opal City to build Mechanopolis, or whatever it's called.

Some of them are patrolling for trouble. At the sounds of rumbling battle to the south, they mount their windup helicopter steeds and soar off to combat.

MONKEY KING:

He and Starman are attacked by a fresh wave of robotic soldiers!

"Who ARE these guys, Monkey?" says Starman. "Watch your eyes!"

Starman triggers his Cosmic Rod and a sunburst of brilliance fries one of the little flying saucers.

"I really hope these are, y'know, robots. Or I'm going down in little brass history as Jack the Destroyer ..."

THE SHADE:

Lurks in the darkness! Who knows where? The SHADE knows!

  1. Not even the Shade's player knows where he is!

  2. Monkey King.

    "Okay ship, sic them." he will then go join Green Arrow and stop the robots. before he leaves the ship, monkey relies that Star Man can help and would probably be mad if he didn't let him in on the action. So he calls Stars on the Mega Phone (the secret communication device used by martins in the atmosphere. it amplifies ones voice to be loader and is totally not a normal megaphone.)

    "Hay Star Man! Green Arrow know's where the robots are coming from! this way!" he then tells the ship to fly him to Green Arrow.
