It seemed as though they came from everywhere at once, the armoured men with their military jeeps. There were at least twenty jeeps and they fanned out through the city streets, using mounted machine guns to target anyone and everyone. It wasn't long before the city was in a huge state of panic with people doing their best to flee or get inside while local law enforcement did their best to stop the carnage. Unfortunately the attackers were incredibly well armed with military gear and it was hard to do more than distract them. In less than a minute it was a travesty Metropolis would remember for years, and the worst was yet to come.<br/><br/>Near the center of the city a robot landed like a bolt from the sky, leading some to initially believe Superman had arrived. When the dust cleared however what they saw was an unnerving parody of a human skeleton constructed of whirring gears and metal. When law enforcement opened fire their gunshots pattered uselessly against the metal, while the robot began to fight back. It moved like lightning and had no difficulties dispatching the officers, seemingly guarding the rampaging paramilitary attackers below from anyone attempting to halt their attack. Metropolis has done it's best to send out alerts to everyone they can find, seeking heroes to stop this nightmare.<br/><br/>The gunshots are ringing through the streets still, although fortunately much of the crowds have managed to flee into buildings and the armoured attackers don't appear willing to leave their vehicles to attack the buildings. Questions are already being asked as to how a force like this exists, or made it so far into the city, but the priority is really on stopping the disaster before it becomes even worse. Nearby the U.S Military is scrambling to respond having sent jets to monitor and possibly assault the robot, military ground personnel from the nearest base are en route to aid the police and halfway across America Captain Atom has taken to the sky to intervene personally. The people are running, hiding and doing whatever they can to survive while many pray that the newly formed Justice League may be able to save them.
