'Pact'
On the day that the two time portals appeared, the Promethea along with
Mxyzptlk waited outside a Luthorcorp facility. The facility housed a force-field
generator. The generator created several force fields, including a large one,
at a nearby location, which protected a weapon that could kill a Green Lantern
in orbit. There they waited for
Mxyzptlk had been trying to contact Jeremy for weeks, and was unsure if he
would arrive. They had once been good friends, yet had become estranged over
the years. The Promethea waited patiently, certain that
Jeremy would appear.
Finally, Jeremy touched down from the sky. He hit the ground with such force
that Mxyzptlk stumbled. The powerful Promethea remained as still as statues.
Jeremy scanned them, reading their minds, and learned their plan of attack.
"It's time!", he called to them, and he
began moving toward the facility which housed the force-field generator, which
was itself surrounded by a smaller force field.
As Jeremy moved into the wake of the force-field it flashed and sparked, and
was forced back. Jeremy had a force field of his own, which until then had been
invisible.
The Promethea were amazed by Jeremy's power. The Promethea had fought many
battles. They were old soldiers, yet after seeing Jeremy's abilities for
themselves they ran forward like gung-ho recruits.
As they came close to the facility they saw Mordru and his Chaos Lords watching
them from a high window, and stopped. Mordru had no knowledge of Jeremy's
powers. He only knew rumors, and was afraid. To test Jeremy's powers he sent
forth a sentinel, a powerful robot created with the most advanced technology.
Jeremy stood motionless as the robot approeached
until it was almost on top of him. Then, suddenly, he made a motion with his
hand as if he was grabbing it from the air and throwing to the ground, and the
robot was utterly destroyed.
In the distance several new robots appeared. "Get going!",
Jeremy called to the Promethea. Jeremy had read Mxyzptlk's mind and knew their
plan. He would fight the sentinels while the Promethea began their attack.
Beams of light extended from Jeremy's arms like swords. He raised his arms into
the air, ready to fight.
