Batman Beyond: The Hunted
Unlimited Eternity
Preface: What Once Was part I
The light was bright, the sound echoing from it much too loud causing Saber's frame it immediately shrink back in overwhelming fear of what she couldn't truly see. It couldn't be safe. "Max!" A set of hands suddenly grab hold of the panther blooded heroine by the shoulders and flings her around roughly. Batman peers deep into her eyes with a mixture of desperation, love and painful longing. What had to happen next disturbed and worried him more than anything, any danger, that the hero had ever faced before. Yet although the Dark Knight didn't want to do this, the only part of reason within his mind that urged him onward was the fact that she would be safe from the danger that the future had to face. That made it easier, easier than it should have been. "You have to go."
"No!" Saber yells against the rush of the extreme wind. Terror filled her countenance as Batman places his palm against her cheek.
"If anybody can find the link – it's you."
"I won't go alone! I can't!" she pleas shrilly. "You have to come with me!" The rocks layered within the cave in once protection begin to fall, crashing on the ground heavily as the bats fly off with loud screeches in evasive maneuvers from the plummeting dangers. The manor would be lost soon. Another brutal tremor shakes the foundation, forcing them to sway uncontrollably as Batman shields Saber. Bruce yells from the computer impatiently, "TERRY!"
Batman pulls Saber into his arms with excessive force, holding her tight enough to remember her touch, her scent, her warmth for possibly one last time. "Not this time," he whispers in her ear. In a swift gesture the hero slams his lips against hers and then pushes Saber back hard into her portal just as it begins to close. All that remained was the sight of the light closing around Batman – a sorrowed expression burning across the Man of Vengeance's face –and a boulder falling towards him…and the echo of Saber's scream yelling his name; hand reaching for something that was no longer there.
To Be Continued…
