“Go! Now!” Aquaman called, diving forward. At once, the Justice League sprang to action - Red Tornado whipped up a torrent of water that clouded the ocean floor and tossed chunks of rock and seabed at the shark-men, which provided cover for J’Onn J’Onzz to shoot through the water past the enemy and turn to fire on their flank with bursts of superheated rays from his eyes.
Aquaman and Power Girl charged at once, swinging hard on the sharks that had surrounded Green Arrow. The archer dove backward, allowing the Atlantean King and Blonde Bombshell plenty of room to unleash havoc. When the water cleared, one shark was down and out, and half the others were wounded.
“The second strike comes,” Wonder Woman said as she drew close to the League. “Prepare yourselves…

Ignoring their own injuries completely, the sharks pressed their attack with single-minded ferocity, chasing after the fleeing Archer with inhuman speed. The blood-mad creature slammed into the Emerald Archer and pinned him against a rocky outcropping, murderous jaws snapping shut inches from his neck!
Meanwhile, behind the heroes one of the frenzied creatures barrelled directly into the back of Power Girl with more strength than any normal creature could possibly muster. Multiple rows of serrated teeth glinted in the dim light for a fraction of a second before the monstrous jaw clamped shut around Kara's throat and shoulder and pierced her skin drawing blood!
Kara screamed in pain, but also in shock that the creature had been able to hurt her that severly and she thrashed wildly to dislodge the savage beast.
Totally lost in its' kill-frenzy the creature paid no heed to its' own injuries nor Kara's struggle, it simply wrapped itself tighter around her slashing with vaguely humanoid claws while gnawing madly with horribly serrated teeth.
The water was turning red....

Wonder Woman hurtled forward through the water and, grabbing one of the Shark-men surrounding Green Arrow by its head, slammed it hard into the ground. Even underwater, the crunch of his skull meeting the ocean bed could be heard. As its blood filled the water around them, the nearby Shark was driven into frenzy. It charged the Amazon with renewed vigor, but a quarrel from Green Arrow’s crossbow cut its advance short.
“They’re swarming Canary,” the archer called out in anger.
“Then we will defend her!” Wonder Woman said, starting to swim south.
“Are you alright, Kara?” Aquaman asked Power Girl as they fought with a particularly large Shark. He thrashed and gnashed his rows of serrated teeth, giving the Leaguers a tremendous struggle. Power Girl limply cradled her left arm, the holes all through her wetsuit leaking blood in steady streams.
“I’m fine!” she shouted, swinging a massive haymaker that pulled the Shark out of its thrashing long enough for Aquaman and J’Onn to get clean, solid hits on it. But the drawing of its blood and Kara’s flooding the water only drove it on with maddened strength. It would take more than one good round to bring it down…

Completely lost in the last throes of it's death-frenzy the monstrous brute shrugged off the immense punishment some of the Earth's strongest heroes rained down on it to continue its' mad, single-minded attack. Wickedly barbed claws tore through Kara's suit and the normally invulnerable flesh beneath like a hot knife through butter and the deadly vice-like jaws snapped shut around her arm and shoulder. Even over the frenzy of the combat and the press of the water everyone around her felt rather than heard the crack as bone gave way under the relentless pressure...
Behind the bloody struggle, Black Canary found herself surrounded by the two remaining monsters. The creatures circled her slowly, each one exuding an aura of cold, alien menace and a terrible inhuman bloodlust. They closed around almost too fast for her eyes to follow, blocking off her every attempt to escape...

It’s cool, man - you’re just throwing the dice, and they come up as they will. Thankfully, this is the last issue of this arc so no damage carries over. Even if it did, I could always swap Peege out for her cousin and we’d be in business.
______________________________________
“Graaaagh!” Kara screamed, falling to clutch her wound. The Shark reared back, broken teeth falling from its mouth to display the cost of so vicious an attack on skin as strong as steel. Apparently their jaws were stronger.
It wouldn’t have time to savor its victory. From the cloud of misty blood, Wonder Woman emerged and delivered a punch that would have broken a normal creature in half. As it was, the Shark was hurled backward through the water to collapse in a heap far from the fight.
“Canary,” Green Arrow said, leveraging his crossbow. “We’ve gotta cover Canary!”
“I have her,” J’Onn said, going intangible to allow himself to pass through the water with complete freedom. When he reached the pair of monsters set to lunge on the backpedaling Black Canary, he turned his mass from intangibility to many times his normal density. His calm backhand strike hit like a freight train, but it was Aquaman’s follow-up attack - slicing through the water with the speed of a dolphin and bringing both hands together to chop its head between them - that finally took its attention from Dinah long enough for her to slip through an opening and swim farther away.
“You alright, Pretty Bird?” Green Arrow asked as she slowed her escape not far from him.
“Fine,” she said. “I’ll be better when these things stop moving…”

The Martian Manhunter and the King of Atlantis had managed to distract the monsters long enough for Dinah to escape, but to do so, they had diverted the attention of the monstrous brutes entirely upon themselves instead...
Reacting at the speed of thought and fuelled by warped predatory instincts millions of years old the smaller of the two brutes hurled itself directly at the Manhunter and tore straight through him at the exact moment he had re-solidified his density! The last Martian gasped in pain as his body was nearly ripped in two and had to focus all of his mental strength on keeping his form solid and coherent. A distraction the beast he had wounded did not pass up. Razor-sharp teeth tore through the Martian's chest tearing a solid chunk of alien flesh from his torso before knocking him away with a vicious tail-swipe. Pushed far beyond his limits and into unconciousness the Manhunter slowly spun away from the fight, his blood leaking out into the stained and murky water...

“J’onn has fallen,” Wonder Woman said as she and Green Arrow came upon the battle in progress. As the Martian drifted away, Aquaman continued to fight both the remaining sharkmen. It was two on one, but the King was still swinging.
“I’ll try and slow ‘em down,” Arrow said, shooting a quarrel into the thick hide of the smaller shark. It thrashed wildly, but was only driven further into madness.
