Chapter 5: Vigilantes in New York Part-2

2 YEARS AFTER CESAR'S DEATH..

7th Street Alleyway, Brooklyn, New York

The leader of the two kids lunges at Alvaro, but his right-fist is caught in Alvaro's right-hand..

BANG

Soon after, Alvaro strikes his left palm at the center of the attacker's chest, this sends him flying towards some nearby trash cans. With scattered trash now on his clothing, the leader looks on shocked at Alvaro. Meanwhile, towards the back of the alleyway, the vigilante lands and pulls out a communicator from his utility belt..

"Ravager. This is Robin. Over?"

"Ravager here. (annoyed) When are you coming back here? You know how much I hate monitor duty, and it was your turn 30 minutes ago!"

Robin (comm):..

Ravager (comm): (sigh) Over.

Robin (continued): Tell Cyborg to cover for you. I need you to lock on my location for backup. Over.

Ravager (continued): 7th Street in Brooklyn? Over.

Robin (continued): Yes and take my ride here. Over.

Ravager (continued): (excited) Sweet! Be there in 40 min..Wait, you don't want the others? Donna or Starfire could fly there in seconds. Over?

Robin (continued): No. I need 2 power houses to hold down the fort till Raven regains control of her powers. Over.

Ravager (continued): Okay, but what about Beast..

Robin (continued): (interrupting) Ravager, I need an impromptu fighter. So stop questioning my order!

Ravager (continued):..Uh? Over.

Robin (continued): What?

Ravager (continued): (giggle) 20 minutes to location. (giggle) And you forgot to say over. (laughing) Over."

Robin: (sigh) Wait, a minute. (squinting) what is it..

Meanwhile, the second attacker looks frightened at his partner laying on the floor. He then turns to Alvaro, only to find his bloodlust eyes now looking in his direction. The boy now shakes in fear, and grabs his head with both hands..

"(looks at his partner) Jason, we..(shaking head)..we should go man. Let's get out of here."

'(looking down at dirty shirt) Strength?' "(whispered) Mine."

"(continued nervous) This kid is not..(points at Alvaro) normal. He has some kind of power now."

'(pupils changing from round to slit) Power?' "(possessed voice) Mine."

"(confused) mine? What the heck you talking about Ja.."

WHOOSH

Alvaro bolts towards the second attacker, coming to a stop in front of him. He slowly leans his upper-body down, and moves his left-leg behind him. During which, aura surrounding his torso, slowly makes its way down to his left-leg, accumulating with the rest already there. Only, a faint-pulsing-green aura remains covering Alvaro's upper-body. Robin quickly puts the communicator back on his utility-belt, and reaches behind him..

Robin (thinking): Crap. Please don't fail me now.

He pulls out a grappling-hook gun, and aims it at the kid in front of Alvaro..

POOF

The hook shoots forward from the gun towards the boy's leg..

Robin: (continued): Come on. Come on.

CLINK

The hook wraps itself around the kid's leg without him even noticing it..

Robin (continued): (smirk) Yes!

Robin presses a button on the gun which pulls the rope connected to the boy, causing him to fall in place to the ground..

"(raising his head) Ugh! (head falls back down)"

PHOOM

At the same time, Alvaro propels his left-leg towards the kid's head, barely missing it as he fell from the grappling-gun's pull. A sudden halo like cloud appears where the attacker's head was previously located. The cloud quickly disappears, but in doing so, brings a loud thunder-like noise to alleyway..

CLANK CLANK CLANK

The large objects in the alleyway shake violently, while the smaller objects are sent flying towards the back..

Robin jumps in the air, and notices a dent on one of the trashcans that was next to him..

Robin: (landing) Phew, that was..

BOOM

Robin turns around to find a hole about the same size of the halo-cloud on a brick wall behind him..

Robin: (wide eyes) close? (thinking) Man he could have killed either of us with that.

Alvaro lowers his raised left-leg back under him, while some of the red-aura returns to his upper-body. He now stares at Robin with his blood-lust eye, and moves his right-side forward. Alvaro slowly moves his right-arm in front of him with an open palm, and brings an open left-hand near his right-elbow..

Robin (thinking): (squinting) If I am not mistaken that looks like Wing Chun? Good. As long as I don't attack him, I can try and talk..

"(interrupting) POWER?! TAKE IT! IT ALL BELONGS TO LORD TRIGON!"

The leader's body shape-shifts into a green-colored demon. Both Alvaro and Robin, are now looking at the demon as it gets up from ground..

"(wide eyes) What the hell is that thing?!"

The small kid points at the demon, while still keeping his other hand over his injuries..

Robin (thinking): A Greed demon? I guess this explains Raven's sudden panic attack from earlier.

The demon stares at the small kid pointing at him, and begins to walk slowly in his direction..

"Your soul now belong to Lord Trigon."

Alvaro runs in front of the small boy, while keeping the same fighting-stance. At the same time, the small kid falls unconscious, as the demon gets closer..

Robin (thinking): Why is protecting him? Is this kid a vigil..?

The demon lunges at Alvaro, but its fist is deflected off to the side by his right-hand. It begins to throw several quick punches at Alvaro, yet each one is smoothly deflected away by both his hands. Unaware to Alvaro, Robin manages to pulls the unconscious kid away to a safer area..

SPOOSH

All of a sudden, the demon opens its left-hand and shoots a green-projectile at Alvaro's right-shoulder..

BOOM

The impact throws Alvaro's body to left, causing him to stumble and crash into the wall behind him..

"(grin) All is fair in this fight."

SPOOSH

The demon fires another projectile at the opening above Alvaro, making him collapse as several bricks land on his body. The demon now looks at Alvaro's motionless-body, as the red aura slowly fades away. Meanwhile, Robin reaches for his communicator attached to his belt..

Robin (comm): Ravager, what's your ETA? Over.

Ravager (comm): Uh. According to your bike..

SPOOSH SCRASH

Robin's communicator is hit by a green projectile which throws it on the ground. The communicator now lays on the ground broken into several pieces. Robin turns around to find the green demon heading towards him..

"All mine. Those boy now belong to Trigon."

Robin (thinking): Damn. I could barely follow his moves when he was fighting the other kid. If he fires one of those..No. (deep breath) Remember your training, Robin. "Your mind is your greatest weapon." (closes his eyes) Focus and analyze your opponent. Fighting Style?..Hand to hand Combat. Weapons?..Green Projectiles similar to those used by Starfire..Starfire. What's Starfire's weakness?..Powerful long/mid range weapons. (smirk)

Robin open his eyes and pulls out 3 projectiles from his utility belt..

SHINK

All three projectiles extend two blades from their side, making them appear as three birds in Robin's hand. He throws the bird-like projectiles one after the other at the green demon..

CRUNCH

The first one is caught and crushed by the demon's right hand..

BOOM

The demon attempted to catch the second projectile, but to its surprise, the projectile exploded in front of it, making it to stumble backwards from the blast and injury..

BOOM

The demon then dodges the third projectile which explodes a few seconds later..

"(frown) What was that human?"

Robin: (smirk) My birdarangs. (thinking) Now that I got his attention..

He pulls out a total of 8 birdarangs from his utility-belt, and starts running towards the nearest wall. Robin then wall-runs around the demon, and begins to throw each birdarang..

BOOM SPOOSH BOOM SPOOSH BOOM BOOM

Some of the birdrangs are shot down by the demon with projectiles, but two of them manage to make their way to him to it to knock the demon down..

Robin (thinking): (worried) Come on Ravager. After these four, I'm going to need the ones on my bike.

"(recovering) Grrr! (frown) Enough of this. I want my souls!"

The demon smiles and aims one of its hands towards the two unconscious kids. At the same time, Robin throws all four remaining birdarangs at the demon. Right before the birdarang reach it, the demon fires a green-projectile towards the two unconscious kids, while robin fires his grappling-hook gun at the wall above them..

Robin :(worried) Damn!

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

Robin moves the grappling gun towards his mouth and bites down, as it pulls him towards the two boys. He then moves his arms and legs behind him, in an attempt to create less wind-resistance to his body..

Robin (thinking): (squinting from the wind pressure) I can make it. I can..

SPOOSH

Robin groans after being struck by another green projectile on his back. The impact causes him to release his bite on the gun and fall to the ground..

SCREEK

Robin: (agony) AHHHH!

Robin lands on his chest and slides several feet, before coming to a stop. He gets up from the ground, and shows several torn sections on chest area of his costume. There is also a big circle on Robin's cape exposing a burn-mark to his back..

CLANK

Both to Robin's and the demon's surprise, the grappling gun hit the green-projectile as it made its way towards the wall..

Robin: (smile) Yes! (flinch) ow!

The green demon is now hovering over the alleyway. It slowly comes down from its position, and stops right above the two unconscious kids..

"(grin) Let's see which one will make it first this time. (aiming right-hand at the smaller kid) Hehe."

Robin (recovering): Dammit Ravager, where are you?

"(grin) Are you talking about that girl on the red-bike? A lust demon is keeping her busy (green projectile forming in hand). You are out of tricks hero. hehahaHAHAHA.."

All of sudden, Alvaro appears grabbing the demon's right-wrist with his left-hand. At the same time, several bricks hit the ground where Alvaro's body laid motionless. He is now breathing rapidly with flames coming out of his nostrils every time he exhales. The red-aura is also back with him, but only around his limbs this time..

Robin (thinking): (wide eyes) When did he get there?

Green Demon: (shocked) How..

SNAP

Alvaro strikes his right-fist on the demon's right-elbow area, causing the arm to snap in two..

"(agony) AHHHH!"

Alvaro now stares at the demon, while still holding the torn portion of its right-arm. The demon falls backwards to the floor squirming, as it looks at its broken right-arm. Portions of the demon's body now begin to shape-shift back to those of a human. The human slowly crawls backwards away from Alvaro, as he throws the shape-shifting arm to the side. Alvaro starts walking towards the leader that once attacked him, as he drags himself away in terror with his remaining hand..

"(scared) Stay back! (backs up against a wall) I'm just a kid! (teary) Please, the demon was the one fighting you. (crying) Not, me. (covers face) Please, don't kill me!

Alvaro's head tilts to the side with his breathing returning to normal. He then picks up the crying-kid by the neck, and glares at him with his bloodlust eye..

Robin: (concerned) Hey kid, stop. He can't hurt them now!

"(pout) Kill? (grin)Yes?"

The red aura around Alvaro's limbs, now starts to slowly expand around the entire body..

Robin (thinking): (worried) Crap. When he had that red aura covering his whole body, he almost killed the other kid. I gotta stop him.

Robin runs towards a nearby soda can from a spilled-trashcan. He picks up the can, and throws it at Alvaro's head..

CLANK

The soda can lands on Alvaro's head, and he slowly turns his head towards Robin. Alvaro drops the now unconscious leader on the ground next to him, and walks slowly in Robin's direction..

"(glaring Robin) Kill?"

He stops only a few inches away from Robin..

Robin: (scratching his head) Sorry about that. (nervous laugh) But I couldn't let you kill that..

WHOOSH

Alvaro lunges at Robin with a left-fist, but he instinctively dodges it by jumping backwards in the air..

Robin: (lands) Hey! I said I was sorry..

Alvaro runs up to him and throws multiple punches with a mix of round-kicks, but Robin once again dodges all of them with acrobatic jumps..

Robin (thinking): He is a lot slower than before, but I don't want to test his strength..

Alvaro suddenly pauses and taps his right-index-finger on his chin a couple of times..

Robin (thinking): What is it do..

Alvaro throws another lunge, which prompts Robin to jump away again..

Robin (continued): (mid-air) This again. Why would it try..

Alvaro quickly recovers from his missed-lunge by doing a circle around him. Using the momentum from the lunge, he then jumps up to meet Robin in mid-air with another lunge. Robin quickly responds by covering his face with his arms..

Robin: (shocked) Oh crap!

KRAAAK

Alvaro strikes robin on his left-arm, the impacted area created a disturbing noise..

Robin: (cringing) AHHH!

After barely landing, Robin clenches his injured left-arm with his left-hand. He looks up to Alvaro to find a smirk on his face after the successful attack..

Robin (thinking): He stopped earlier to come up with a different attack plan. I can't believe I let my guard down so easily and did the same move again. Great. Now he makes up for his speed with brains.

Alvaro once again, walks slowly towards Robin, who is kneeling on the ground still clenching his left-arm..

Robin (thinking): Damn. Now with this injury, I don't think I can evade him so easily. I might have to (reaching behind)..

VROOOM BRAM BOOM

Suddenly, a red-motorcycle with a yellow "R" on it's side, crashes onto Alvaro and sends him flying to a brick wall. A girl lands next to robin wearing a half-blue half-orange costume with a sword on her back, and white hair hanging from the back of her mask..

"Sorry for the delay. (helping robin) I had.."

Robin: (standing up) I know, Ravager. Be ready..

She notices a bright-red circle on his left-arm..

Ravager: (interrupting) Your arm, how bad is it?

Robin: (looks at left-arm) Broken.

Ravager: (reaching sword on her back) Lethal force?

Robin looks at the crashed motorcycle with Alvaro's body below it..

Robin: (sigh) Please, tell me you borrowed someone's else bike that happened to be painted red?

Ravager: (tapping index finger below chin) Uh?..If I say yes..

Robin: (shakes head) Bats is gonna torture me for this one.

Ravager: (wink) Won't be as bad as Alfred and Cyborg when they see your arm.

Robin: (rubbing hair) Oh Jeez. I totally forgot about that.

Ravager: (crossing arms) Hey, how long you been fighting this guy?

The smaller unconscious kid wakes up, and sees Robin and Ravager chatting ahead..

"Huh? Is that Robin? and Ravager?"

CLANK

All of a sudden, Alvaro pushes the bike off his body, and darts towards Ravager. Before she could even react in time, he grabs her by the neck with his right-hand..

Ravager: (trying to release the grip) Crap. (cough) I..(cough) can't..(gasping for air) breath.

Robin: (jumps) No. Let her go!

Robin lunges at Alvaro, but his neck is caught in Alvaro's left-hand. The aura around his body now only covers both hands and head, as he looks at Ravager struggling to breath..

"(tilts head) Kill?"

The small kid manages to lift his body to a seated position..

"No! Don't hurt them! Stop..(passes out)"

"(frown) No, kill? (shakes head) Yes!"

"(Alvaro's voice) I said, (right-eye slowly opening) No!

The green aura completely covers the entire body, aside from the red-aura around the head..

"(looks around) Huh?"

Robin and Ravager regain their breathing, and see Alvaro looking for something around him..

Ravager: (looks at Robin) Did you hear that? Or was that just me dying?

Robin: No, I heard it too. And his grip loosened after it. (looks at Ravager) Knock him out, while he is distracted!

Ravager: (looks at Alvaro) Right!

Ravager forms half a fist with her hand, and then strikes Alvaro in the chest. He let's go of his hold around their neck, and collapses to the ground. Robin kneels down, and puts a hand near Alvaro's nose..

Robin: (concerned) That wasn't lethal, right?

Ravager: Tsch, no. I put half my strength behind it. He is still breathing, right?

Robin: Yeah. (stands up) Good work.

Ravager: What's the plan now, leader?

Robin: (hand her something from his pouch) Here. Put this on the bike.

She walks over to the crushed red-bike on the alleyway..

Ravager: (placing object on bike) Is this a tracker?

Robin: (Sitting Alvaro) Yeah. (looks at Ravager) Can you carry him?

Ravager: Him? Yeah, you plan on taking him with us?

Robin (pulls out a flare gun from utility-belt) Yeah.

The flare gun shoots a red flare into the sky..

Robin: I can't leave him here. He is too dangerous. In bad hands, we would probably need the Justice League to take him down.

The flare slowly dimmers in the sky, as Robin helps accommodate Alvaro on Ravagers back..

Robin: Okay, let's go before the cops catch me with my broken arm, and you carrying him.

Ravager nods at Robin, and then looks at Alvaro's smiling face resting on her shoulder. She smiles at the unconscious boy, which is noticed by robin as he detaches his cape from his back..

Robin: (tying cape behind his neck) To think this kid could be such a huge problem. (Adjusting arm-sling) Alright this should do for now.

Ravager: (smiling) Well he is kind of a cute kid at least.

Robin walks up to a nearby sewer cover on the street, and holds it open. Ravager walks towards him, and gently climbs down with Alvaro into the sewer..
