Lorne slammed into the outer wall of Judgment Fortress, smashing a massive hole through the thick alloy with his body.
Red alarm lights inside the fortress instantly began flashing wildly, and shrill sirens echoed through the broad metal corridors.
Lorne tore through the billowing smoke and strode into the fortress, golden lightning still crackling around his fists.
