"Okay team, we have one shot of this." Zatanna told the people around her, who made up the team Justice League Dark. Currently, she was in the house of mystery, a sentient house that was willing at times to transport her and her teammates to where she needed to be.
"Dracula has turned most of New York into vampires and will attempt to release Trigon. We can't let that happen." she told everyone. "The Avengers, Justice League and Future Foundation are too busy keeping people from danger in other places due to the vampires distracting them, so it's up to us. This is why this team was formed in the first place, the battle the supernatural threats others would be unable to. We can't fail them."
"Is this speech going to get even more inspiring?" Rin Okumura asked mockingly, while holding his sword.
"That's what I was just thinking." Rori Lane said with a grin.
"Will you two shut up." Blade angrily told the two of them. "This is serious."
"I don't know what the problem is." Jackie Estacado said, fiddling with his guns. "I've watched Buffy, I know how to kill a vampire."
"What's Buffy?" Mary Parker asked. For a second, everyone who cared enough to be paying attention thought she was joking, until they saw the genuine confusion on her face.
"Seriously?" Rin asked. "You might be the only girl whose never heard of it."
"It's a tv show from the 90s about a teenage girl who is a prophesied chosen one and fights vampires and other monsters." Castiel told the wearer of the witchblade, wearing the trench coat that had once belonged to John Constantine, a good friend of both Zatanna and Castiel.
"So basically it's Rori's life story." Jackie mentioned, earning a chuckle from the twenty-seven year old half-demon.
"How do you know that?" Mary asked Castiel.
"Netflix." the angel replied simply.
"Meanwhile, an army of vampires are still trying to take over the world." Zatanna told everyone firmly, wonder how she ended up working with this lot. Blade she could understand, and was the only one she respected, but everyone else was annoying. Rubbing her forehead, she continued speaking.
"Look, we need to get in there, stop Dracula and whatever spell he's casting." Zatanna told the six people listening to her. "I'll be honest, I don't think all of us are going to survive this."
"Well, I'm definitely going to live. Unlike you lot, I'll just keep coming back." Jackie said with a devil may care grin, referring to the fact that the dark force that enabled Jackie's powers won't let him die until he has a son. "Though, considering feathers' record in coming back to life, he might survive this as well."
"Don't call me that." Castiel told Jackie.
"Why isn't Johnny Gat handling this?" Rin asked Zatanna. "Hasn't he been the ruler of Hell for six years now?"
"Trigon has aligned himself with Mephisto and created a revolution in Hell. Gat and Etrigan are doing what they can, but with Lucifer unwilling to get involved and staying at his club, they won't be able to help us." Blade told Rin.
"Well, why should we get involved?" Jackie asked. "If Gat can't keep things under control himself, why should we get involved?"
"You know what? Fuck it, we're going in." Zatanna said, finally having enough of hearing them talk as she snapped her fingers. Instantly, the door to the house opened, and the group was able to see New York.
Due to the supernatural solar eclipse, it was dark currently, which worked well for the vampire horde. They couple hear people screaming and explosions originating all through the city, which only helped make the whole scene look like the apocalypse.
"Christ. This is worse than when my girl trapped me in Hell." Jackie muttered, a saddened look on his face as he thought about Jenny.
"Alright, let's do this." Rin said, before taking the sword out of the scabbard. Instantly, blue flames surrounded him and his features became more demonic with his pointy ears. Yelling as he did so, Rin leaped through the doorway.
"When will he ever listen to me?" Zatanna asked no one in perticular, before following. Quickly, everyone else followed.
The seven fell through the sky at high speeds as the house vanished, before Rori and Zatanna muttered a few magic words. Instantly everyone, except for Castiel who manifested his slightly damaged wings to fly, was covered by a glow and glided down quickly to the streets below.
By the time they had reached the ground, Mary was in her armour while Jackie had summoned the darkness, creating two black tendrils with monstrous snake like heads on them. Castiel watched the tentacles warily as they stared back.
"You sure you have those things under control?" the angel asked Jackie.
"What? You trust Zarathos but not me?" he asked in response.
"I knew Zarathos when he was an angel and friend. My first memory of what you call the darkness is when it tried to slaughter me and my brothers and sisters." Castiel said with a glare.
"Focus." Blade told the two of them, gesturing down a street to a museum, which had an lights shining from the windows and an army of vampires in front of it. "That's where the undead bastard is. We kill him, and Zatanna and Rori do their thing to stop his spell."
"Jackie, Castiel, think you can distract the horde?" Zatanna asked.
"With pleasure." Jackie said while pulling out his two favourite guns, before rushing forward firing madly. Castillo followed him, with his wings out and angel blade in hand. The two fought ferociously, taking out the vampires quickly and soon leading them away the museum. This gave the remaining five the opportunity they needed to dash past.
Once in, they saw the king of vampires himself. Dracula, wearing a fancy suit that people commonly wore in the 19th century. Along with a few vampires, he was watching a glowing pentagram on the floor, which the supernatural heroes assumed was the portal that would free Trigon.
"Ah, Blade. I wondered when you would arrive." Dracula said without looking at him. "Though I didn't expect you to bring those playmates of yours."
"Hey, I'm no one's playmate!" Rin said, though everyone ignore him.
"You know, you can still join me." Dracula said to the dhampir. "You will be a valued ally."
"Never." Blade spat, pulling out his two swords from his back.
"Fine." Dracula said with a glare, before looking towards the vampires. "Kill them."
The vampires launched themselves towards the group, fangs extended. Rin, Mary and Blade dashed towards the undead fiends as well, quickly dispatching the first few.
"Cast the spell!" Blade yelled at Zatanna and Rori. The two magic users nodded and began casting.
"No!" Dracula yelled, running towards the two. However, Blade arrived and collided with the vampire, beating him down to the ground before Dracula vanished into a cloud of bats before reforming a small distance away. Blade, not hesitating for a second, dashed again at Dracula.
None knew how long they fought the vampires. They didn't know how long they protect Zatanna and Rori from harm so they could cast the necessary spell. Castiel and Jackie soon arrived when Dracula summoned more vampires, slaughtering a number of them. Soon however, the fight ended when the the pentagram exploded with light, before disappearing.
"Yes! Go Justice League Dark!" Rin shouted with joy, as his sword cut off the head of an attacking vampire. Meanwhile, realizing that they had failed, the vampires attempted to run, knowing that the with their summoning of Trigon over, the eclipse will soon end.
"We won!" Mary shouted with joy, still in her switchblade armour.
"Not all of you!" Dracula shouted, and everyone turned to face him. And everyone gasped in horror when they saw that Dracula had is hand through Blade's chest.
"Eric!" Zatanna screamed.
"You son of a bitch!" Jackie yelled as he summoned the darkness and began firing bullets at Dracula. However, the vampire lord laughed as he threw Blade to the ground and turned into a swarm of bats before flying away into the still dark sky. Everyone rushed towards Blade, desperate to help, but it was too late. Eric Brooks, also known as Blade the daywalker, was dead.
Tell me if there are spelling mistakes. A lot of the characters in this chapter are from different fiction, with Zatanna and Blade being the only characters from DC and Marvel respectively. Rin Okumura is from the manga series Blue Exorcist, while Rori Lane is from the comic wayward. Jackie Estacado is from the comic the darkness, though this one is more based on the 2007 video game version, and Mary Parker is from the comic switch, which is an alternate universe version of witchblade. Castiel is, obviously, from Supernatural and I added him because I really wanted to, though I changed him slightly so he fits in with DC's version of angels. Johnny Gat is from the game saints row, and is based on the ending from gat out of hell where he becomes the new ruler of hell. Lucifer having a club comes from the lucifer tv show and comic it was based on. Anyway, the next chapter will take place in 2062 and will have the avengers work with a team based on the legends from legends of tomorrow. Like before, any character you want to appear in the next chapter, let me know.
