So, I'm doing what my brother told me what I should do. Kill off Mary Sue before she escapes. I apologize sincerely for creating this monstrosity. I'm killing it off as quickly as possible. Here you are!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except Melanara and her Chaos Blade, which actually belongs to Bioware, creators of Baldur's Gate, Tales of the Sword Coast, Shadow's of Amn, Throne of Bhaal and Icewind. I sincerely recommend the Baldur's gate game if you enjoy Swords and Sorcery. PM me for info or if you have questions.

"Melanara?" Sinestro called softly, knocking on her office door. She silently waved at him and motioned for him to sit down. After a moment of scribbling she looked up at him.

"Yes?" she asked, smiling a little.

"Keymaster reports a Leaguer snooping around L.A." he replied, relaxing a bit. "Some idiot in chain mail with what looks like an apron." he said shaking his head. Melanara's lips curled into a smile.

"Shining Knight. Thank you Sinestro. Tell Keymaster he has my thanks as well. You both get bonus' this week." she said, laughing as Sinestro's eyes lit up. "I'll handle this myself. Sir Justin wants to find me, let him find me." She said, gently dismissing the yellow lantern and closing her door before pulling her Chaos Blade down.

"I think it's time that Shining Knight gets removed." Melanara said, eyes flashing before she shimmered out.

------------Downtown L.A.-----------------

"Shining Knight!" came the shout as Justin walked around, talking to people, trying to find his former comrade-in-arms. Justin looked up and saw Melanara across the street. She pulled her sword and saluted him in a way that meant she was challanging him. Edge of the blade facing him and her hands holding the hilt in attacking position. Justin nodded and gave an accepting look and watched as she vanished down an alley. Muttering to himself, the knight out of his time crossed the street and after a moment confusion, found the alley and followed her down it, pulling his coat off and sword out.

"Sir Justin!" came the call again. Looking upwards at the source of the call, Justin tucked and rolled out of the way as Melanara came streaking down, sword aimed for him.

"I have no wish to fight you, my lady. I merely wish to talk." he said, holding his sword infront of him cautiously. Melanara laughed at him.

"You fool. You should not interfere with things you do not comprehend." she said scathingly. Justin nodded in silent acceptance and charged, swinging for her. Melanara flashed her two-handed sword up and caught his upper swing downwards. Wrenching the blades sideways, she forced his arms to the side, allowing her to land a kick in his abdomen, forcing him to either take the blow and continue or release his hold on the sword and stumble back to a presumably safe distance. Justin released the hilt and staggered back, followed closely by Melanara, who dropped her own blade. Striking out with a punch, Melanara grunted as Justin took her punch, snatched her wrist and launching her at the the far end of the alley. Rolling backwards, Justin dove for his sword, shaking it free from Melanara's.

"Smooth." Melanara grunted as Justin sprinted forward, bringing his sword in an upward swing as he aimed for her. Melanara crouched, waiting for him to swing. As he swung, Melanara launched forward from her crouch and dived under the swing. She continued rolling, taking her sword with her as she went.

"Give up, Shining Knight! You can't win!" Melanara taunted. Circling each other, the swordsman and swordswoman tested each other with various swings and parry's. After a moment of silence, Justin charged. Melanara neatly sidestepped and grinned as her sword pierced Justin's stomach, hitting every vital organ on the way in.

"You have no honor." he gasped, then sagged. Melanara pushed him off her sword.

"Good-bye, Sir Knight. Angels sing thee to thy rest." she murmured and, after wiping her sword off, she sheathed her sword and walked out, smiling as people screamed at the blood on her clothes.

"Miss, are you all right?" a man asked, Melanara's smile grew.

"I'm perfectly fine, but you might wanna call an ambulance for that guy." she said, jerking her thumb back at Justin's body. The man dropped his grocery bag and rushed to the fallen hero. As he turned to look for Melanara, she was gone.

------------------The 'Tower------------------

"She's gone too far." a deep voice said, heavy with sadness and anger.

"Is there nothing we can do to save her?" came a lighter, thought not by much, female voice.

"Nothing." Superman said. Wonder Woman shook her head, eyes sad.

"Melanara must die?" Batman asked. Flash nodded.

"Yes." he said. Green Lantern sighed.

"This ain't gonna be easy." he said, looking at everyone around them.

"Orion won't like this." Shayera agreed, her mace sparking at her side.

"Orion will not have an option." J'onn said, red eyes narrow and glowing brightly.

"So Melanara must die?" Huntress asked, her voice filled with pain.

"Yes."
