Chapter 4: Tense friendship
Hinamoto
Tomoe giggles as she watches Zatanna munching on a traditional Japanese sweet.
" These are called Dango. They are very famous here."
Zatanna complimented the sweet.
" Hinamoto's sweets. Not bad."
Zatanna then said to Tomoe.
" You know Tomoe, ever since we first met, you have been so nice to me."
Tomoe smiles and she said.
" It's nothing."
Zatanna continues.
" In fact, to repay you, here's a little something from me."
Tomoe widens her eyes in shock at what Zatanna has given her.
It's a small rabbit taken out of her hat!
Tomoe smiles and she thanked Zatanna.
" Thank you Zatanna. This truly is a wonderful gift."
Zatanna smiles back and the two girls giggles.
Soon, Tomoe held Zatanna's hand and as she pulls her up, she said.
" Come into my temple, the others would be glad to meet you."
Zatanna nods and she follows Tomoe.
Village
Green Lantern drops Green Arrow and Count Vertigo and he said.
" Okay guys, new plan. You two go into that village to explore while I go to the church and see if the priest will let us spend the night there."
The two nods and Green Lantern flies towards the church.
Church
Green Lantern slides open the door and he calls out.
" Hello? Anybody home?"
Just then, a tall busty woman cladded in a nun outfit steps out and she welcome him.
" Welcome stranger. I am Melpha and it's a pleasure to welcome you into my humble domain."
Green Lantern stares at Melpha's absurbly huge breast and he thought to himself.
" Huge tits. Huh, maybe I should consider becoming a Catholic nun."
Hinamoto
Just as Zatanna and Tomoe are about to enter the temple, all of a sudden, something red blitz past them, shocking the two.
Both Tomoe and Zatanna looked up and what she saw caused Zatanna to widen her eyes in both shock and recognition.
" Barry?"
Flash widens his eyes and he questions.
" Zatanna?"
Zatanna asks Flash.
" Flash, where have you been? I have been looking everywhere for you."
However, Flash said to her.
" Sorry Z would love to chat, but duty calls."
The Flash sped past her and he grabs onto Tomoe.
Shocked, Tomoe shouts.
" Let go of me! What is this?"
The Flash said to her.
" Tomoe. You are under arrest for defying the Council."
Upon seeing Tomoe thrashing in desperation, Zatanna tries to stop Flash.
" Barry stop! You're hurting her!"
The Flash shouts.
" Enough Z. I'm sorry, but I have a job to do."
But just as Flash is about to race off, Zatanna shouts out.
" Pots!"
Almost immediately, Flash's legs halted, causing him to trip and fall onto the ground.
As the lands on the ground, Zatanna helps Tomoe up and she asks her in concern.
" Are you okay Tomoe?"
Tomoe answers.
" I'm fine."
Both women turns as Flash got into a fighting stance.
" Sorry Zatanna, but if you get in the way, I have no choice but to fight you."
Zatanna pushes Tomoe back protectively and she whips out her wand.
" I'm afraid you will have to go through me first Barry."
Both Zatanna and the Flash charges towards each other, screaming in anger.
Zatanna fires several magic blasts at Flash but Flash dodges the blasts before speeding forward, preparing to strike.
" Dleihs!"
Zatanna raises a shield, shielding herself just as the Flash throws a punch.
The Flash suddenly teleports behind Zatanna and he punches her in the face.
Zatanna screams in pain as The Flash began attacking her continuously, using his speed as an advantage.
However, Zatanna unleashes a powerful magic wave, blasting back The Flash.
Zatanna sprints forward and she kicks The Flash twice in the face before firing a magic blast, sending The Flash smashing into a statue.
The Flash shook his head and he growls at Zatanna.
" That's it! I'm gonna kick your sorry butt!"
The Flash sped forward and he punches Zatanna in the face, knocking her back.
Horrified, Tomoe shouts.
" Zatanna!"
The Flash however, continues to attack Zatanna by knocking her back and forth with his speed.
The Flash struck Zatanna in the stomach before teleporting behind her and delivering a hard kick, knocking her down.
As Zatanna falls flat on the ground, The Flash looks down at her apologetically and he apologize.
" I'm sorry Z. But the Councils ordered me to turn Tomoe in and I must do my job."
However, all of a sudden, a talisman struck The Flash by his back, causing him to explode.
The Flash screams as he slams bodyfirst onto a tree, severely injured from the explosion.
Tomoe helped Zatanna up and she shouts at The Flash.
" You stay away from my friend you speed demon!"
The Flash growls as he said to Tomoe.
" Surrender Tomoe, that's an order."
" Never. The Mikado will not fall under the hands of those tyrants!"
The Flash sped forward and Tomoe charges forward.
Just as The Flash throws a punch, Tomoe spun around and she slashes across his chest, causing The Flash to scream in pain.
Tomoe slashes at The Flash repeatly before kicking him several times.
Tomoe then delivers a hard kick, sending The Flash flying upwards.
At the same time, several Warrior Priestesses throws their talisman at him, causing The Flash to explode.
The Flash falls down and he crashes onto the ground.
The Flash pushes himself up and he growls.
" The Council has always deemed you as pests, but I never knew you would take such a cheap shot at me!"
The Flash sprints forward and using his speed, he began incapicitating the Warrior Priestesses.
" No!"
One of the Warrior Priestesses throws a talisman at The Flash, causing it to explode.
The Flash screams as he was sent flying back.
Zatanna then launches a magic blast at The Flash, causing The Flash to explode.
Zatanna watches as The Flash drops down crumbling on the floor and she warned.
" Stop this Barry. You don't want to do this."
The Flash pushes himself up and he sped forward, knocking back Zatanna.
He turns to Tomoe and he shouts.
" Your time ends here Warrior Priestess!"
The Flash charges forward, preparing to strike her down.
Tomoe shuts her eyes, bracing for the killimg blow.
However, all of a sudden, a Warrior Priestess jumps in front of Tomoe, causing The Flash to strike her instead.
There was a sudden bursting sound of broken bones and spilled blood.
Tomoe, The Flash, Zatanna and everyone else widens their eyes in shock.
The Flash stood dumbfounded as he found his arm right through the Warrior Priestess' chest.
As blood drips onto the ground, The Flash pulls back his arm amd he began apologizing.
" Sorry....I'm so sorry.....I didn't mean to..."
All of a sudden, Zatanna grabs him, turns him around and she slapped Barry across his face.
The Flash stood there frozen as Zatanna shouts at him.
" You bastard! You killed her! Go back and tell those idiots you have fufilled their orders!"
Tears began welling in Zatanna's eyes as she finishes her sentence.
" I don't want to see you ever again."
The Flash looks around and fear and shame engulfs him as he found Priestesses and onlookers looking at him.
Tomoe angrily glares at The Flash and she orders.
" Leave now! You're not welcome here."
The Flash solemnly looks down on the ground before retreating back to the Shrine.
As The Flash disappears, Zatanna watches sadly as Tomoe hugs her dead friend.
Zatanna knelt down next to her and she consoles her.
" It's okay Tomoe. It's okay."
As Tomoe sobs, she questions.
" Why Zatanna? Why is one of your friends working for those tyrants?"
Zatanna sadly answers.
" I don't know Tomoe. Come, let us bury her."
Tomoe nods and the Priestesses began preparing to bury her.
Aldra's house
Gorilla Grodd took a bite of his banana and he remarked.
" You know, this house isn't bad at all."
Black Manta removes his helmet and he turns and questions Captain Cold.
" Hey Leonard, what are you doing?"
" Oh, watching TV."
Confused, Black Manta questions.
" But how could you be watching TV? It's ancient time."
Captain Cold points at the box he's watching and he said.
" So? There's always ancient TV."
Black Manta looks and he saw two chimpanzees scratching and screeching in the box.
" Well, that is actually pretty entertaining."
Just then, Aldra calls out.
" Dinner's ready!"
The villians sat on the table as Aldra began serving soup.
As they ate, Captain Cold questions.
" So Aldra, do you live alone?"
Aldra answers.
" Oh no. I live with my husband. He's gone for a while but he left this for me."
Aldra sat a huge teddy bear on the chair and Killer Croc growls.
" That bear looks yummy."
Enchantress questions.
" What do you do then Aldra?"
Aldra answers.
" Me and my husband actually wanted to set up a food stall, but we lack the funds to do it."
Suddenly enlightened, Bane widens his eyes and he said.
" I got it. Aldra, I know what are we going to do tomorrow. We are going to start up a food stall for you."
Aldra's face brightens and she asks.
" Really? You will do it?"
Bane nods and Aldra exclaims.
" Thank you so much. You people are really nice."
As Aldra giggles, her statement somehow began making the villians feel rather remourseful.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Aldra walks towards the door and she opens it.
A tall woman with long brown hair holding a sceptre stood outside and she asks nervously.
" Uh....excuse me? I'm lost in the forest, may I stay here for the night?"
Aldra welcomes her in and she said.
" Sure, come right in."
The woman steps in and she sat in between Captain Cold and Bane.
The woman smiles and she introduces herself.
" Thank you for letting a worthless woman like me stay. I'm Nyx by the way."
Gorilla Grodd said to her.
" I dislike humans but even you don't deserve to be called worthless."
Captain Cold notices a cephalopod looking creature staring at him, causing him to feel uncomfortable.
" Uh, pardon me Nyx but what is that?"
Nyx looks at the creature and she introduces it.
" This is Master Finikura. He's always there for me."
All of a sudden, Finikura began wrapping it's tentacles around Nyx, causing her to scream and cry out.
" Ahh!!! I'm sorry Master Finikura. Please forgive me!"
The demon stuffs it's tentacle inside Nyx's mouth and it continues violating her, causing the villians to watch in disturbance.
Enchantress fires a magic blast, knocking Finikura back.
Nyx widens her eyes in horror and she screams.
" Master Finikura!"
As Nyx scrambles towards him, Killer Croc said.
" Whatever that thing is, I don't want it anywhere near me!"
Just then, somebody kicks down the door, causing Aldra to scream in terror.
Several scantily cladded ninjas stood at the door smirking at them.
Cheetah growls and she questions.
" Who are you? What business do you have with us?"
One of them answers.
" We're not here for you. We want Aldra."
Shocked, Bane asks.
" Now just a minute woman, why are you after her?"
One of the assassins answers.
" She has been oppressing us ever since she has became Queen. Torturing us and even killing us. But now, with her no longer possessing the throne, it's time to exact our revenge."
Cheetah and Killer Croc stood protectively in front of Aldra and Cheetah growls.
" You're not going anywhere near her."
The assassins charges forward and they began their attack.
Captain Cold fires his cold gun at the assassins.
But the assassins jumps up and they throws their throwing knives at the villians.
The knives bounces off Killer Croc's impenetrable hide and Killer Croc swung his arms at them.
One of the assassins wraps her sickle and chain around Killer Croc's neck, causing him to roar in pain.
Gorilla Grodd roars and he punches an assassin back.
But another assassin impales her blade into his back, causing Grodd to roar in pain.
Captain Cold fires his cold gun at one of them.
But to his horror, the ice blast simply went past the assassin, causing him to widen his eyes in shock.
" What?!"
Suddenly, the assassin jumps up from behind and she shouts.
" You're mine!"
However, Cheetah launches herself up and she pounced onto the assassin, incapicitating her.
Captain Cold got up and he fires his cold gun, freezing an assassin.
Just then, the roof suddenly bursts open, causing everyone to look up.
Two elf women and a large humanoid bat jumps down, preparing to fight.
Bane narrows his eyes at the bat.
" It's the Bat."
Batman stood up and he said.
" Surrender. You are all coming with me."
" Over my dead body!"
Bane charges forward, forcing Batman to jump over him.
Bane and Batman began trading blows while the elfen women prepares to fight.
Batman turns to the young elfen girl with a wild hair and he instructs her.
" Nowa. Take out the one in blue."
" Yes Batman."
Nowa swung her staff, knocking back an assassin before leaping towards Captain Cold.
Aldra watches in horror as the fighting ensues.
One of the assassins approaches her and she said.
" You're coming with me Aldra."
Aldra began cowering in fear and she whimpered.
" Please. I don't know what I even did. Please don't hurt me!"
" Shut up!"
The assassin swung her hand, slapping Aldra.
Meanwhile, Bane punches Batman before grabbing him and slamming him onto the ground.
Bane looks down at Batman and he said.
" I have been looking forward to this Batman."
Batman throws up his legs, knocking back Bane.
Batman jumps up and he throws a hook, striking Bane in the jaw.
The Dark Knight leaps over Bane and he swung a razor sharp Batarang across his venom tube, causing Bane to scream in pain.
Bane collapses onto the ground and Batman turns to face the assassins.
One of the assassins shouts.
" You will die for messing with the Assassin of the Fang!"
Three of the assassins chargez forward, but Batman punches one back before spinning around and throwing an uppercut, knocking another one out.
One of the assassins grabs a chair and she slams it on top of Batman.
But to her horror, Batman recovers and he punches her in the face three times before pinning her onto the wall.
As the assassin struggles, she questions.
" W....what are you?"
Batman leans in closer and he answers.
" I'm Batman."
Batman slams his forehead onto hers, knocking out the assassin.
As Batman looks at the assassin, a young elfen woman swung her staff, knocking back Black Manta before closing in onto Batman.
Batman said to her.
" Glad to see you are alright Alleyne."
Alleyne smiles and she said.
" Same could be said to you Batman."
Both Batman and Alleyne turns as one of the assassins began dragging out Aldra.
She calls out to the rest of her comrades.
" We got her! Let's go!"
" You're not taking her away from us!"
Gorilla Grodd charges forward but the assassin spat a tranquilizer dart at Gorilla Grodd, causing him to fall onto the ground.
The villians could only watch helplessly as the assassins began leaping into the forest, disappearing into the night.
Enchantress knelt beside Grodd and she said.
" He will be alright."
Black Manta suddenly swung his baton at Batman, causing him to scream out in pain.
Black Manta screams at him angrily.
" You idiot! You let them take her!"
Nowa and Alleyne got into a fighting stance but Batman raises his hand, signalling them not to attack.
Bane added.
" She was kind enough to let us stay and all of you came in here and attack us."
Batman spoke.
" You are criminals. You must be planning in robbing her when she's not looking."
Captain Cold shook his head and he denies.
" No. Why would we do that? She's just a wife of a poor cook wanting to have his own food stall. Why would she have anything valuable for us to steal."
Enchantress picks up the Teddy Bear and she said to the rest.
" I can use my magic to locate her. But we must hurry."
Cheetah turns and she growls at Batman.
" We may be criminals Batman. But we must go save Aldra. Don't try to stop us."
Batman stood there pondering as the villians began moving out of the wrecked home.
Nowa asks Batman.
" What should we do Batman?"
Batman pauses for a while before he said to the villians.
" We'll join you."
" What?"
Batman explains.
" If we want to get out if here, we will have to stick together so I will help you rescue Aldra."
Alleyne protests.
" Batman! We can't do that! Don't you know all the evil things Aldra has done?!"
However, Gorilla Grodd protests.
" I do not know how evil she is, but she's not the same as she was back then."
Batman nods and he said.
" Then it's settled. Let's go."
As the group leaves, Nowa questions Alleyne.
" Captain, do you think we should go?"
Alleyne thought for a while before she answers.
" As much as I hate it, we better take care of Batman. It's the least we can do for taking out that clown and that vampire."
Nowa nods and the two elves follow suit.
Church
Green Lantern uses his ring to play a musical tune and he said to Melpha in distress.
" Oh Melpha I'm in trouble."
Melpha exclaims.
" Well goodness gracious me."
" For everytime a certain nun is standing next to me.
A flush comes to my face, and my pulse began to race.
It goes boom booty boom booty boom booty boom booty boom boom booty boom booty boom boom boom.
Boom booty boom booty boom booty boom."
Melpha widens her eyes and she remarks.
" Well goodness gracious me."
As she sat Green Lantern down, she questions.
" How often does this happen? When did the trouble start?
You see my stereoscope is bumping from the throbbing of your heart."
Green Lantern questions.
" What lady is she, to create this allergy?
It goes boom booty boom booty boom booty boom booty boom booty boom booty boom boom boom.
Boom booty boom booty boom booty boom."
" Well goodness gracious me."
Just then, Nanael flies in and she calls out.
" Melpha!"
Melpha's face brightens and she exclaims.
" Arc Angel Nanael!"
As Nanael flies down, her eyes widens as Melpha began to speak.
" From the kingdom to the railing,
I have done my share of healing
And I have never been beaten or outfought."
Nanaek spoke.
" I have no idea what's going on,
Especially with the rhyming thing that's on,
In fact I'm here just to take,
A nice batch of grapes."
Melpha points at Hal and she said.
" But his condition has got me really foxed."
Green Lantern lifts up his hand and he requests.
" Hey Melpha touch my fingers."
" Well goodness gracious me."
" You may very clever but Melpha can't you see?
My heart beats much too much
By certain kind of touch
It goes boom booty boom booty boom booty boom booty boom bootyboom booty boom boom boom.
Boom booty boom bootyboom booty boom."
Nanael widens her eyes and she remarked.
" Well goodness gracious me. I guess I should leave you too alone now."
Nanael flies towards the back room as Melpha spoke.
" My thesis spells out all kinds of sickness
From probosis to tuberculosis
From all kinds of symtoms I can tell.
You can be glad to hear that your eyes are so clear...."
Realization struck Melpha and she slowly finishes her sentence.
" ...I can positively swear that you are well."
Green Lantern then said.
" The two and two together."
" What?"
" If you have eyes to see, the woman that makes my pulse race is right in front of me."
Overwhelmed with growing excitement, Melpha said.
" There's nothing I can do for my heart is jumping too."
Both Green Lantern and Melpha held each others hands and the two sang as they dance.
" We go boom booty boom booty boom booty boom booty boom booty boom booty boom boom boom. Boom booty boom booty boom booty boom."
Melpha said.
" Goodness gracious...."
Green Lantern continues.
" How adacious. Goodness gracious...."
Melpha blushes and she continues.
" How flirtacious. Goodness gracious..."
Both Green Lantern and Melpha sang in unison as the two fall onto a nearby bed together.
" Goodness gracious me."
Shrine
One of the Councilmen praises The Flash.
" Good job. Plus no need to feel upset Barry. You have done us a big favour. Now why don't you go and rest?"
The Flash sighs and he nods.
" Yes sir."
As The Flash walks, just then, he heard the sound of women chanting in a foreign language.
The Flash peers and he saw a cult of topless women chanting.
Curious, The Flash questions one of the Councilmen.
" What are those women doing?"
One of them answers.
" Granting us the key to solving our problems."
The Flash raises an eye brow as he watches the ritual.
One of the women began to speak.
" Great spirit of the dark, darker than the void! Lend us your power and step forth into this world!"
The fire blazes violently before all of a sudden, a giant stone fist flies out, striking one of the women in the head, killing her.
Everyone widens their eyes in shock and terror.
The creature steps out of the fire and he slashes his claw, killing the other four women in the circle.
The Flash widens his eyes in shock and recognition and he whispered.
" No.....it can't be....Doomsday?!"
The monster lets out a roar abd The Flash urges the Councilmen.
" We better get out of here! Now!"
However, the Councilmen ignores him and one of them orders the monster.
" Oh great monster. Obey my command and kill your enemy."
Doomsday roars and he swung his arm, knocking the Councilmen into the wall.
The Council screams in terror as Doomsday launches himself forward.
The Flash sprints forward and he slams his elbow into Doomsday, knocking him back.
As Doomsday recovers, The Flash ran through the castle, evacuating everyone out into the hill.
The Flash races back in and he shouts to Doomsday.
" Doomsday!"
Doomsday roars and he swung his arm, knocking the Flash back.
The Flash recovers and he sped forward, knocking back Doomsday.
The Flash throws an uppercut before attacking Doomsday with a barrage of punches.
Doomsday grabs The Flash and he slams him through the wall before throwing him into the courtyard.
The Flash recovers and he runs just as Doomsday crashes onto the ground.
The Flash runs through the city, evacuating every peopke un the building before stopping at the hill.
As The Flash pants in exhaustion, all of a sudden, he heard the sound of an explosion, causing him to turn around.
Upon seeing several houses exploding, The Flash widens his eyes in terror.
Doomsday has arrived! And he has begun unleashing his wrath.
The Flash quickly runs out of the city, hoping to find Superman.
" I better find Clark. He's the only one who could save us."
