Mount Justice.
"Isla Santa Prisca," Batman said as he looked at the holographic image of an island with three red dots marked at the side. "This island nation is the primary source of the dangerous and illegal neosteroid—a strength-enhancing drug under the street name 'Venom.' Infrared heat signatures signify their factory is still operating at full capacity, but all shipments of Venom have been inexplicably cut off."
He turned to the teenagers. "That's where this team comes in. This is a covert recon mission only—"
"Uh…" Gogeta raised his hand. "I don't think a quiet mission is my style."
Saiyans were known for shouting and flashy moves. Though he didn't need to shout every time he attacked… he still possessed flashy moves—which were loud.
Batman turned and looked at him. "It isn't my concern. You'll have to learn how to stay quiet on this mission, because you're going."
After the fight between Gogeta and Twister, Robin had briefed Batman on it, and he had one word for the boy—monster. A monster that Batman needed. He wasn't delusional; there was a 90% chance that the kids going out there would flop the mission… Gogeta was the contingency plan.
Batman turned back to the holographic map, which now had a red A and B pointing at opposite sides of the island. "The plan requires two drop zones."
"So who's in charge?" Robin asked.
Batman and Red Tornado turned and looked at the team, then at themselves, then back at the team. "Work that out between yourselves," Batman said.

In the hanger, the team had changed into the suits required for the mission.
"I really don't like tight clothes," Gogeta muttered as he stretched his black bodysuit and released it, the material striking his suit with a taut!
"I think it suits you," Megan said, pink coating her cheeks slightly.
"Okay, let's go!" Robin said, and the team walked into the bioship.
Swoosh!
The ship slowly rose, the hatch opening above it, and it shot upward.

The sleek bioship cut through the night air.
"Drop zone A in 30," Megan's voice dispelled the silence, waking the daydreaming Robin with a start.
Aqualad slowly stood up, his seat melting into the ground as he tapped the symbol on his waist, changing his clothes to black. Then he turned to Megan and nodded.
"Ready," he said.
Megan returned the nod. "Putting the bioship in camouflage mode."
The ship became invisible and lowered, the bottom part opening for Aqualad to jump through.
After flying a few more meters, the ship came to a stop.
"Drop zone B," she said, and together with the others stood up, their seats melting back into the ground. Then she pointed forward; a rope slowly emerged, falling in front of Robin and Kid Flash. The two tapped their logos, their suits slowly changing color to black.
"How cool is this?" Kid Flash asked as he turned back and flashed Megan a smile.
"Very impressive," Megan replied with a smile as she closed her eyes, her suit also turning black.
"Uh, that works too," Kid Flash said, then turned to Superboy. "Hey, Supey, not too late to put on the new stealth suit."
"I'm fine just like this," Superboy said.
Kid Flash and Robin fastened the rope to their waists; the stomach of the ship opened to let the two and Megan drop down. Immediately they scattered from their position, just in time for Superboy to drop down.
Boom!
A crater and dust cloud formed as he slowly stood up. "Knew I didn't need a line."
"And here I was thinking how not to turn the stealth mission upside down," Gogeta's voice came from above as he slowly descended, receiving a "Tch!" from Superboy.
"Aqualad, drop B is go," Megan said, and Aqualad's voice came through the comm.
"Head for the factory. I'll track your GPS and rendezvous ASAP."
"Roger that!" Robin replied, and the team burst forth into action, heading deeper into the forest.
Just as they walked, Gogeta stopped, an eyebrow raised.
"I sense Ki… multiple ones," he said.
"Oh, now what, Robi—"
Kid Flash couldn't finish his words as he turned back and realized Robin was gone.
"Ugh! I hate when he does that!" he grumbled.
"Don't worry; he's heading deeper into the forest. I can sense his ki," Gogeta reassured Kid Flash.
Suddenly, gunshots rang from deep in the forest.
The teens turned and stared at each other, then ran toward the shooting site.
"Swing wide, steer clear!" Aqualad's voice came from the comm.
After reaching the shooting site, the teens hid behind a rock and curiously observed the situation. It was a gunfight between two groups.
"Something's fishy," Gogeta muttered to the group. "Let's capture one and interrogate them."
"Wait, Gogeta, no—"
Boom!
Gogeta ignored Aqualad's words as he sped forward, reaching the group in seconds.
"…"
The group was stunned for a second before they left their enemy and pointed their guns at Gogeta.
Tat-tat! Tat-tat!
The bullets cut through the air, but the moment they reached inches away from Gogeta's body, they bent and fell to the ground weakly.
Gogeta didn't give them the liberty to shoot too much; white ki swirled around his body… and then it burst wide.
Boom!
The men were sent flying like rag dolls, striking trees and slipping into unconsciousness.
Gogeta placed a hand on his hip and smiled at the other teens. "So what? Better than staying waiting for them to party, huh?"
"Yeah," Megan muttered dreamily.
"It's called covert for a reason, you know?" Robin's voice came from above as he dropped down from a tree.
"Beat them up silently, force the info from them," Gogeta said as he used his Ki sense to pinpoint the man with the brightest Ki—a man with a white-colored face.
"I did not expect this…" Aqualad said as he emerged from the forest.
"Adapt," Gogeta said as he approached the man and raised him, injecting a little, violent Ki to rouse him awake. Behind him, Robin approached a red-hooded man with a mask.
"I recognize this uniform," he said to Kid Flash. "They're from the Cult of Cobra!"
"Good info; let's get the full one," Gogeta said as he watched the man slowly wake up. He didn't hesitate and asked his question:
"What's going on?"
