"Tak tahulah, rasanya macam mesin ni ada terlangar sesuatu? : I don't know, maybe the machine were hit something?" Another worker said. "Undurkan mesin tu dan matikannya : Reverse the machine and shut it down" another worker said. The workers who control the machine, reverse it and saw the sharp point of the drill on the machine was bent a little, as the light in the tunnel was turn on.
They saw a white wall in front of them, the drill on the machine had create a small hole on it, but it doesn't look stony nor like limestone wall at all, more like scaly. This was strange, they never see a wall that look scaly like reptile, only for sudden the small hole was created slowly regenerate and heal. Many of them were startled, those workers now realize, this was not a wall, but a skin from the living animal.
Suddenly the place was start shaking like an earthquake, and many of the worker were panic and try to escape, only for suddenly the main way start sinking and bury many of them into the ground including the drilling machine, the rood was collapse and fill with rocky soil, closing the entrance and way for them to escape, some of them were trap under the rock. The survival try to find a way until.
"HHOOOAAAARRRGGGHHH!" They all heard the strange howl at the tunnel, and saw the white scaly skin were moving and the ground shaken even more and this time it was a jaws the emerge on top of the worker and the last thing happen to them was screaming in fear.
Himeya can sense and heard the scream, in his vision he saw those worker was devoured and bury deep into the ground in the tunnel. He can see none of them were survived, and he was sweating. At the same time, the alarm were bleeping as they manage to detect something movement underground at the one of the state of Malaysia.
Many league were suspect it was Grundy after they receive about the report at the pacific ocean and some pacific marine spot an unknown creature move under ocean and headed towards to Malaysia, Himeya also answer the alarm and went out from his room and went to jet fighter area.

The military, police, medical stuff and reporter were all at the incidents place as soon as there was an earth quake happen at the location. Inside the tunnel was blocked by several rocky soil and the chance they could rescuer the worker who trap inside are thin. Lieutenant Akmal, the one who in charge to secure the place had ordered his men, to build a barrier and make sure no civilian get past.
Just then one of his men came to him, "Tuan kami menerima laporan bahawa Justice League akan datang untuk membantu : Sir we receive a report that the Justice League will came and help us", "Bagus, kita mungkin memerlukan bantuan mereka , macam-macam benda pelik dah muncul sekarang ini : Good, we may need their support, a lot of strange thing had appear nowadays" Lieutenant Akmal said.
Few minutes later, a lot aircraft and several people in suits finally arrived to the location, many people including the reporter were recording about the Justice League had arrived. Superman land softly 4 feet away from the Lieutenant and walk towards him, "Good Afternoon Lieutenant, how are you?" Superman ask, "I'm doing good, glad to had your help" Akmal said as they both shook hand.
"What's the status?" Superman ask, need to be clear before make a move, "We receive a report that there was an earthquake happen in the tunnel construction place, somewhere at Selangor, we had evacuated all the citizen live nearby from the place, my men were try to get in, but they were blocked by the rocky soil, it may took a long time to clean it, care to give a hand?" he ask. "Sure, we will help you" Superman said.
Soon, the Justice League and several emergency rescue start to operate to clear the path to get inside, it may took a few minutes, some driller and bulldozer had to lift up those soil away, they need to be careful because the soil in their area had lost the balance and wrong step move might cause a small earth quake. Slowly, little by little, they manage to create a path, after they had dig deep enough, several task force will get inside with the company from the Justice League.
Batman and Lieutenant Akmal will monitor using the screen inside the tent as their eye in case they might need support from the outside. Several task force now had walk deeply inside the broken construction underground subway, the concrete wall and roof were all shattered and collapse, the steel railway were all bend and broken, some were sink into the ground. But what shock them as they move little further, they spot a big drilling machine, sunk into the ground.
And a large hole appear on the roof, possibly that might cause an earthquake in here. One of the unit task force give hand signal to scatter around and found any useful evidence that might cause this incidents, Superman use his x-ray vision to look around for any worker that trap, he indeed found the worker but death, bury deep into the ground, but still he need to report this.
Lantern use his ring, try to lift up the drilling machine, and Wonder Woman soon help him to lift it up. Booster Gold and Elongated man were help the task force unit to clear the path and any rocky soil that might cover the evidence. The drill machine finally lift up and place on the surface, they spot a bend on it's end point.
Akmal watch through the monitor, he can't help but surprise to see the destruction happen, Batman and Justice League at the other hand already know who cause this, but they didn't want to bring anyone to panic.

Just the Justice League investigate the place more deeper, Superman use his heat vision to clear a path by drawing a circle on the soil and burst through it, only to find himself in a very large tunnel, really large like something moving in it, he then use his x-ray vision and saw some shape that resemble a claw, and some small part of giant footprints, there is no doubt. There is no doubt, Grundy was here.
Several task force then came inside either and look around, they indeed surprise as well seeing the large hallway in the deep ground. General Akmal who watch at the military tent once again was surprise, "What could cause that?" he ask, Batman however frown as he seeing this. Few hours later, the expedition was complete, they indeed manage to retrieve the trap worker, but sadly they were all dead and many were still missing.
The Justice League and General Akmal then had discussion about the beast called Grundy, "A monster?" he ask browse his eyebrow, "Apparently like that so" Superman said. "Of course it was, had you know where it headed?" Akmal ask, despite his calm tone, he was worried, especially when the monster show up in his beloved country. "It possibility went to populated area, our suggest that it could be headed towards to Kuala Lumpur" Batman said.
"You certain? it could be move anywhere?" Akmal ask, "It seeking for food source, any thing resemble flesh will be devour, human, animals" Batman said, "Then i will prepare my men for the defense position" Akmal said. "We will check on and follow the trace of it" Superman said. "Before that, had you had any name of the monster?" Akmal ask, that however, many didn't want to said it nor didn't want to said it, especially as one of them were close to it.
But then, "Grundy" it was spoke from Shayera's mouth herself, though she seems regret about it, "Acknowledge" Akmal said, he will prepare his combat team for this in case the monster was spot on. The rest of the league look on her, her face maybe seems serious but she was sad actually. Lantern is the one who approach her, but Shayera denied and didn't want to be comfort.
They now had make a plan, while the rest of the league will follow military on patrol and report if they spot any sign of Grundy, the league and the military were prepared their attack strategy and their combat position, Batman predict that, Grundy might rise up at the center of Kuala Lumpur city, consider the place was the most high populated.
To prevent that, they must force him to raise up from the ground, before he could reach the city. Batman even had create a possibility path that Grundy could make base from what he saw from the monitor.
Consider that beast were devouring human, animals or anything that resemble flesh, they had plan to use an old tactics, they will lure him using a big pile of meat and fish, and place it somewhere between the path, but they need to do it quickly, as they weren't sure the speed of Grundy on the ground. The military will be place in three wave defense position, the same how Justice League deal with Amazo. The tank will be place on the first position.
As soon as Grundy finally emerge from the ground and got to the bait, they will target on his leg, using the same missile that Batman use to froze the dark heart at the moon. The first attack will give a shot, and for that Batman had create a counter measure plant to attack the space beast. He had create a missile that contained with lethal poison that could destroy the cell of living being. They will shot it into his body, through his mouth.
As they were planning, Himeya saw that Shayera wasn't with them, he look around and sneak out to search for her, only to find her starring at the sunset. He walk towards her, "Don't" Shayera notice his presence. "Sorry" he apologized, and the Hawk Girl continue looking at the sunset. "I maybe don't know the whole story, but can you at least, tell me about him" Himeya ask, Shayera didn't look at him.
But she took a deep breathe and finally told Himeya about Grundy, the real Grundy that she met before, from the start until that time, the time before Grundy release his last breathe. "I was accompany him, when he was wounded, he told me, he was going away" she said. Himeya continue to listen, "He said, is his soul is waiting for him?......i....i at first didn't believe it, but the moment i look down deep to his eye, yes now i believe it, i believe his soul is now waiting for him" Shayera said as tears drop from his eye.
Himeya continue to hear to heard the story about, Grundy was actually was an innocent, he wasn't just mindless beast, he was just at the wrong place, he was once a human, but been revived back as a zombie, he was called as a monster because of his look and how he behave, but deep down was a victim, he was innocent. The tragic misunderstood being the victims who became villains because they had to, because they had no other choice, or because they were forced.
Grundy may not smart, but he was sweet, loyal, and brave. He didn't let anything stop him, not even the Eldritch gods. He proved himself to anyone despite how they spoke to him and how they treat him. "His last words, Grundy get his rewards" Shayera said, as he remember about Grundy. Himeya understood when we lost someone, who was innocent and yet they are the one who bring a happiness in our lives. Himeya will never forget Sera's smile, how close thier bond is.
"He was very good person" Himeya said. "He was" Shayera said wiping her tears. But then Himeya suddenly saw something in his vision, it was Grundy, he suddenly stop moving and something happen to him, but his vision stop there. He then look at Shayera, "I saw him" he said, and those took a attention from her, "What?!" she said. Meanwhile Batman finally finish explain the plan to subdue Grundy, and possibly eliminated him for good.
After that, they all dismiss and start to begin their operation, Green Lantern however notice that Shayera was missing and so do Himeya. "Superman had you seen Shayera and Himeya?" he ask, "No i didn't" Superman said, with that Green Lantern start to walk out from their discussion tent and fly out to search for them both.
The rest of the league had to continue their operation to contain Grundy, meanwhile Shayera was flying while holding Himeya, as soon as Himeya can sense Grundy, they immediately fly through there to find him, before any bad thing happen. Himeya look through his vision again and finally found Grundy, he had back to......Normal?, his normal form, the Grundy that everyone knows. Himeya frown and quickly told to Shayera as he found him.
Shayera nodded and went to the place where Himeya told her, they fly across the rainforest and spot a very large hole dig out from the underground, they fly lower and finally land on the ground of rainforest. Himeya evoltrsuter then bleeping as it detect presence of space beast, he then focus where the coordinate is and once the evoltruster bleeping again, "This way" he said as they both run towards to coordinate.
Walking at the rainforest was not easy, as it had a slippery wet ground, thick forest, and possibly, wild animal that should be left alone. They then come across to deer carcass, it was torn apart and there is no doubt Grundy was here before. But then they heard a loud growl, it was nearby them, Shayera prepare her magic mace and Himeya prepared his Evoltruster. They all look around until they look one of the tree and heard a footstep. It was walking towards them.
And then they saw Grundy.....no....not in his beast form......but rather a normal form.....the form Shayera and other really known, he walk forward with his body shaken, his clothe was torn but his pants was in good condition. He then look to side and saw Hawk girl, he seem in conscious and recognize her, "Bird Lady?" he said. "Grundy" Shayera said. "Grundy didn't feel so good" he said.
The big man then look around, and wondering where is he now? and why is he still alive?, he then look at the two, "Where is Grundy now? why Grundy was here?" he ask them, they couldn't explain how he was brought back alive, and consider today was Tuesday. Probably that's meaning he had his self conscious and moral. "What happen to Grundy? where are Grundy now?" he ask. And this time Shayera finally spoke.
"You are in heaven now" she said, Grundy didn't spoke but instead make a low growl voice. He was confused, "Then, why Grundy didn't get his reward?" he ask in low tone. Himeya then stood Beside Shayera, "He still had his self consciousness, it was just the monster that use his body" Himeya said. But Shayera decided to took a risk move as she walk towards him, Himeya put trust on her and didn't aim the evoltruster to provoke Grundy.
Shayera walk towards to Grundy and Grundy just look at her, he do recognize her and he know she won't do any harm to her. "It's good to know you back" she said as she stood in front of Grundy, Grundy give a weak smile, "Grundy, was happy to see the Bird nose again" Grundy said as the last time he saw her, she wear a Thanagarian helmet. But then he groan in pain, "Grundy!!" Shayera rise her voice in shock as she saw Grundy was suddenly hurt.
But then a large arm emerge and grab her, push her away from Grundy, Grundy try to open his eye, even himself was surprise to see this, he didn't know what happen, and he didn't know what happen to his body?. He then look at Shayera in horror, but there is nothing he could do. Himeya aim his evoltruster on the arm and shoot it, Grundy feel the shot and another big hand suddenly appear and gran him, and lift him up.
For a moment, they both hear another footstep and saw someone coming, it was in humanoid shape. Himeya however recognize the figure, his eye wide and soon the figure's appearance was clear. "Dark Mephisto" Himeya said, "Surprise to see me" he said, "You monster, so you're the one who responsible for this!!" Shayera yell to him, as she finally saw Mephisto for the first time. "Is that how you greet someone who you met" Mephisto mock her, and Shayera grith her teeth.
"What had you done to him?" Himeya ask, "Oh it wasn't me really who revive him, thanks to some....idiot who brought him back, i just give him the finishing product" Mephisto said. "By what, turn him into your puppet!?, release him now!!" Shayera demand. "Or what, like you could really beat me" Mephisto said. Shayera now struggle to break free from the hand so he could smash the dark Ultra with her mace. But Mephisto was geeting bored with these two. "Grundy, crush them all now" Mephisto ordered him.
"No Grundy, don't listen to him!!" Shayera said, but Grundy however couldn't find, whatever inside his body. He try to fight it but, it was no use. The hand then decided to squish them, crushing their bones and flesh, but before that could happen, a green shot suddenly aim and hit towards to Grundy pushing the brute away. Releasing them both, both Himeya and Shayera gasp after release from the strong grip. They both lay on the ground tired, while holding their chest. But then someone appear, it was none other than John Stewart the green lantern.
He inspect them both, to make sure they are not seriously injured. "Shayera are you okay?" he said, Shayera groan and cough a little as she holding her chest, "I think i'm fine, but" her eyes wide as a shot was coming to them, but Green Lantern quickly create a barrier from his ring, protect them both from the shot, the shot from Mephisto. Himeya hold his chest, and try to stans up. "Himeya stand down you're hurting" Green Lantern warn, but Himeya didn't care about the warn.
He stood up and bring out his evoltrsuter, "Suit yourself" he then finger snap and now Grundy's eye were all red by sudden. "Grundy eliminate them all" Mephisto said as he disappear, Grundy eyes now glow red and his body also. He then give a vicious roar. The ground start shaken, and Grundy's now become bigger. He grew up to 70 meter tall beast. At the middle the jungle, beast Grundy now give his vicious roar. He then look down and rise his fist attempt to crush them all. But then, an explosion was hit at side face of Grundy.

I can see my Status as if I were an RPG character. And running with the RPG theme, my main Quest in this world is to become its strongest entity or titular God. I have a couple thousand years to do it or else the laws of reality itself will erase my existence. But, hey. That’s exactly what I signed up for, right?
