"Dick..." Diana said sadly as the facility rocked yet again from another impact. She felt her binds fall apart as Batman stepped back.
"We need to find Dick." Superboy said.
Batman nodded in agreement. "Alfred?" He asked into the comm.
"Master Bruce!" The British voice responded. "Thank lord you're ok. I've been attempting to get to you for over an hour." He finished.
Batman sighed. "Alfred, Black Knight. He's..." Batman paused.
"Master Bruce?" Alfred questioned.
"It's Dick." Batman said.
"Did you just say Black Knight is Master Richard?" Alfred questioned in shock.
"Yes Alfred. Dick is Black Knight." Batman confirmed.
"Is he alright?" Alfred inquired.
"No Alfred. He isn't alright at all." Batman replied sadly.
"Oh my. Master Bruce, aerial surveillance just showed me a creature of large size attacking a nearby town. The civilians are in danger by what can only be described as a creature of pure destruction." Alfred said with fear.
Batman narrowed his eyes. "Dick will have to wait. We need to deal with this current threat in the nearby town first." He said.
The group nodded and quickly followed The Dark Knight.
The creature was tall, bulky, it had spikes all over it's back, it's hands were like claws, white hair rested along its back. It's eyes were crimson red, a spiked beard rested around it's chin. Spiked knees and claw like toes. The only clothing it wore was a green pair of shorts with silver lining. The creature smashed down buildings with little effort, roaring in anger and rage as it tore into the cars close by.
"That thing. It's massive." Artemis said in disbelief, her eyes wide at the creature.
"We need to take it down." Wally said, glancing around to see that Diana had vanished. "Where's Wonder Woman?" He asked.
Superboy shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows. But we've still got to take that thing down." He replied.
Batman stepped forward. "We need to attack it from all sides. Superboy, get in there and punch it as hard as you can, Artemis, keep watch over Wally, Batgirl, Batwoman, you two and I shall keep that thing off-balance." He ordered. The group heading out quickly.
Dick stood in the distance, watching the fight with the creature with mild interest. Beside him, Kara stood.
"Dick." Diana said, landing a few feet from him.
Dick turned to face her, Kara remained still, but her eyes watched Diana with caution.
"What do you want Diana?" Dick asked.
Diana glanced at the creature. "Your help." She answered.
Dick chuckled and laughed. "My help. You think I'd be willing to the heroes who caused me to die?" He said.
Diana smirked. "No, I think you'll help because a part of you knows that the creature won't stop until all life is gone." She said.
Dick narrowed his eyes. "No. That creature won't be an issue. The League will survive, as it has always done. But the corrupt will fall." He responded.
"But a part of you still lives on, the part of you that was Robin. I know you believe Robin to be dead. But I feel him inside you. Just waiting to be freed." Diana began, walking towards the fight. She saw Dick glance towards the fight. "That part of you that protects the innocent, it will win. You just need to open your eyes." Diana finished, taking flight and heading towards the battle.
Dick watched as she left and closed his eyes. Was she right? Was Robin still alive, or was he dead, waiting to be reborn as something else. He felt a gently hand, the gentle hand of Kara upon his shoulder.
"She's right Rich. That thing will destroy everything." She said.
Dick opened his eyes slowly, something burned inside them. A fire of hope, determination. Of revelation. "Kara, I know what to do."
Batman fell to the ground as Diana was thrown into him. He grunted in pain and slowly helped her up. He glanced up to see the creature fling Superboy into Batgirl and Batwoman. He blinked. "We don't have the strength to defeat this creature." He said.
"Doomsday is tough Detective. His skin is like solid rock, his organs well defended. You need more heavy hitters, ones who aren't afraid to kill to defeat him." Ra's Al Ghul's voice said over his comm.
Batman blinked. "We don't have the heavy hitters we need." He said.
"Sir, the Batwing's picking up several hundred drones approaching your location, both from the air and the ground." Alfred said.
Batman Blinked. "Drones?" He questioned.
An explosion suddenly rocked the area. A ball of fire lit up where Doomsday stood. Batman widened his eyes as several more balls of flames engulfed him.
Standing in the distance, Dick stood. "I don't care if we leave every city, I want every drone, on duty and off duty at my location, firing upon that thing right now." He said into his comm.
"But sir..." A voice said back.
"Unless you've seen this thing in action, I suggest you follow my orders." Dick snapped back.
"And the Typhon's?" The general asked.
Dick smirked. "Send them in as well. We're giving this war machine everything we've got." He replied.
Diana widen her eyes at the sight before her. Doomsday was being attacked from every side. Rockets, bullets, everything came in at him. And She saw several drones moving in, each firing upon him. What made her smile, was the colour scheme on them. Black and red. She knew Dick would pull through.
Another explosion engulfed Doomsday. The war machine roared in anger, throwing debris at the many drones. A red beam soon pushed Doomsday day back a few feet. The drone responsible for the beam rested at the end of the street. It's weapon systems primed and ready to fire once more. Besides it, sat several more of the same type of tank drone. They were the Typhon drones. And all Hell was about to break free.
