Chapter 21: The Art of Mayhem and Murder!
Captain America and his team of supers split up into four groups in order to help protect the bunker from Razor. On Sector 1, the top floor of the underground bunker, Captain America waited with Chun-Li, Wolverine, Storm, and Chris Redfield. On Sector 2, the second floor of the bunker, Deadpool waited impatiently with the Arrow, Cammy, Hulk, and Spiderman. On Sector 3, Jill Valentine prepared herself along with Morrigan Aensland, Rorschach, Nightwing, and Deathstroke. Sector 4 was guarded by Batman, Martian Manhunter, Raven, Cyborg, Cat Woman, and Reika Kitami.
With all four groups, an entire militia of heavily armed soldiers and mech units waited with them; nothing was going to get past these well trained soldiers! "Ok, team! You heard the President; nothing gets in or out through this sector! Be ready for anything; Razor is not going to hold back this time...and neither will we!" Captain America urged. "I'll tear that murderous scumbag apart with my bare hands!" Wolverine growled as he unsheathed his claws. "Shh! Listen...I hear something...I think it's coming from over there!" Storm whispered as she pointed.
The awful sounds of metal scraping against the walls was heard, piercing the ears of many of the soldiers and supers. "It's him! Captain-" Chris Redfield warned. "I know...get ready everybody! No matter what happens; do not let that monster get past this sector!" Captain America said firmly as he readied his shield. Soon enough, Razor himself appeared from the dark corridors with blood stains all over his clawed hands and body.
Razor looked completely different than he did last time; he looked more like a horrifying monster than he did before. But truth be told, he never was human to begin with anyway. His body was completely armored in a black and red brimstone and metal, but his face was what really through off the super heroes. Razor's face looked more demonic than ever before; he had no eyes, but the mouth full of razor sharp teeth was more than enough to show that this Hellspawn was beyond pissed off and bloodthirsty.
Razor appeared to look directly at Captain America, baring his teeth and letting out a menacing hiss. "Get out of my way, you fucking corpse bags!" Razor snarled in a demonic and guttaral voice. "You're not getting past us, Razor. Not this time! Now this is your only warning; surrender or suffer the concequences!" Captain America warned as he stood his ground. Razor stopped dead in his tracks, at least 100 feet away from the others.
Captain America and the supers stood their ground, with the soldiers and mechs aiming their weapons at Razor. "That's enough; surrender now!" Chun-Li threatened as she clenched her fists. "You! You're the one who's been killing all those innocent people! Well I got news for you, Razor. You're finished!" Chris Redfield cried angrily as he aimed his Beretta pistol at Razor. Razor began laughing demonically, slightly scaring some of the soldiers. "Actually...I haven't even begun yet! Let me show you what I'm truly capable of...UNCUT!" Razor snarled before he charged forwards.
The battle was immediately greeted with a shockingly large body count and an even larger amount of bloodshed. Razor moved at lightspeed, using his now larger and more powerful claws to rip and tear apart the human soldiers. Some of the poor souls didn't even last long enough to fight back against the monster before they were ended in a most gruesome manner.
Razor cackled and snarled with demonic glee as he severed off the limbs and decapitated the heads off the poor human soldiers. "My God! He's so fast; I can't keep track of him!" Chris Redfield exclaimed as he kept shooting his gun. Razor turned his attention to the mech units, who kept blasting away with their machineguns and RPGs. Razor jumped on top of one of the mech units, digging and tearins his claws into the mech's head before he finally tore it off.
Razor roared as he began turning his arms into hideous tendrils; things were about to get a whole lot uglier and messier. Razor punched away a mech unit with one massive hit, but the tendrils did their worst as the mech unit was suddenly torn apart and tangled in a bloody web of rancid gore. To make matters worse, some surviving soldiers were caught inside of this web and screamed in howling agony as they were torn apart by the tendrils and began decorating the place with their own blood and guts.
Both enraged and horrified, Chun-Li decided it was time to make her move. "I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH!" Chun-Li shouted furiously as she unleashed a set of Lightning Kicks against Razor. Razor merely shook off her attacks before he turned his left arm into a massive blade and began wildly slashing at her. But Captain America immediately joined in the fight, crying out fiercely as he punched and kicked at the demonic beast with all his might.
As Razor brawled against both Chun-Li and Captain America, Chris Redfield began quickly searching through a weapons cache. "Come on, come on! There has to be something I can use here!" Chris muttered in frustration. Chun-Li threw a punch at Razor's face, but Razor only seemed annoyed before he grabbed Chun-Li by the throat. "I'll squeeze the shit from your skull, little whore!" Razor snarled as he began tightening his grip.
Poor Chun-Li's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of her skull, but a deadly bolt of lightning forced Razor to drop her before he was smacked in the face by Captain America's shield. "You're not hurting anymore of my friends, you vile creature! Return to hell at once!" Storm cried fiercely as she kept zapping Razor with her lightning bolts. Razor cried out in anger as he was repeatedly struck, but Captain America was not about to hold back anytime soon.
With a fierce cry, Captain America grabbed Razor and flew up into the air before slamming him back down again. Not even finished, Captain America slammed his shield into Razor's chest with a brutal force and knocked the wind out of him. "Now it's time I show you the true meaning of justice! TAKE THIS!" Captain America shouted as he unleashed a deadly set of punches and kicks against the downed demon.
At the same time, Storm created a massive whirlwind and caught Razor with it before surging powerful bolts of lightning, adding on extra damage. "You wanted the thunder, fool? We'll gladly give you a lightning storm!" Storm cried as she turned the whirlwind into a hurricane. Razor screamed as he was violently thrashed about inside of the hurricane, with bolts of lightning and chunks of debris constantly battering him. "Time to teach you a lesson! Mess with the beast, you get the claws!" Wolverine shouted as he flew into the air and unleashed a deadly set of slash attacks.
Finally, Chris Redfield found a weapon to his liking. A grenade launcher filled with three explosive rounds; one with ice, another with fire, and another with pure explosive energy. "Aha! This will come in handy; step back everyone! It's time for me to end this!" Chris announced as he entered into the scene with his new weapon. Chris fired the first grenade, trapping Razor inside of a huge block of ice. Chris fired again, freeing Razor from his prison with a gigantic burst of flames and scorching him.
The third shot sent Razor flying away from the explosive force, smashing against a wall and knocking him out cold. "Yes! That's how we roll, baby!" Chris boasted. "Don't get too excited just yet; we need to make sure he stays dead! Wolverine and Storm; finish him off!" Captain America instructed. "You don't need to tell me twice!" Wolverine sneered as he began rushing towards Razor's downed body.
As Wolverine and Storm approached Razor's still body, they mentally prepared themselves for whatever sneaky trick Razor had left in him. "Ready?" Wolverine whispered. "Let's do this!" Storm replied before she unleashed her devastating Lightning Storm attack on Razor. After being electrocuted to a crisp, Wolverine pounced on Razor and unleashed his Berserker Barrage attack on the evil monster. "I'll turn your ugly ass into Swiss Cheese!" Wolverine boasted as he intensified his slash attacks.
After a few more minutes, Wolverine was satsified with himself and got off of Razor. "Yup! He's dead all right; there ain't no way of him getting up after that!" Wolverine announced proudly. "Great! Time to give the others the good news, then." Captain America replied as he grabbed a radio. "This is Captain America reporting from Sector 1. We have Razor! I repeat, we have Razor! He's no longer a problem, now. The President and the world are safe!" Captain America announced.
Chun-Li sighed with relief as she was helped up by Chris Redfield, but when she turned her head around...Razor's body was gone! "You've gotta be fucking kidding me!" she cursed. "Language, Chun-Li! There's no need to..." Chris teased before he looked over and realized why Chun-Li was upset. "Uh, Captain? We got a serious problem!" Chris said carefully.
Captain America turned to see what was wrong, and grew pale with shock. "Son of a bitch!" Captain America cursed. An evil chuckle was heard right behind him before a deadly blade pierced through his chest, making the avenger scream in howling agony. "Captain! NOOOO!" Chun-Li screamed. Captain America screamed as Razor stabbed him from behind, lifting him into the air. "That I am, boy. That I am!" Razor taunted as he gazed into Captain America's now fading eyes.
Razor finally kicked Captain America away against the wall, further bringing the other supers into dismay. "But then again...so are you and the rest of your pathetic friends!" Razor cackled. "You murderous piece of shit! Now I'm really pissed off! You think you can mess with me and my friends?! Come on then! I can still fight!" Wolverine roared as he charged towards Razor.
Razor laughed as he turned his hands into claws and briefly fought against the enraged mutant. "You're not just a monster, bub! You're a bully, a liar, and a coward! It's time I put you in your place; six feet under!" Wolverine snarled as he brutally slashed and stabbed away at Razor. Razor continued to laugh at Wolverine while he fought with him, until the remaining supers joined forces with Wolverine in one last attempt to stop him. "You don't know when to give up, do you?!" Chun-Li cried as she kept kicking at Razor.
Razor grunted as he shook off her attacks and forced her away with a nasty kick to the face. Chun-Li cried out as she was slammed against the wall and knocked out cold, lying in a pool of Captain America's blood. "You took the words right out of my fucking mouth, bitch!" Razor sneered before he roundhouse kicked Storm and Wolverine away. Wolverine was still not ready to quit, as he jumped back up and clashed his claws together. "Well, you're a squirrely one...ain't you? But you see these claws? Unbreakable! You? I bet not!" Wolverine challenged.
Razor laughed at him once more before he made his claws grow even bigger and uglier looking. "Aww, how cute...mine are bigger!" Razor challenged back. Razor and Wolverine charged towards each other and engaged in yet another brutal and bloody battle, but this time Razor was gaining the upperhand. "You've grown too old and weak. Only the strong survive...but I am invincible!" Razor boasted as he began tearing Wolverine apart with his massive claws.
Wolverine screamed in howling agony as Razor's vicious attacks began tearing up his body, spilling blood all over the place. Finally, Razor ended the fight by stabbing an arm blade into Wolverine's chest and pinned him against the wall. As Wolverine choked and gasped for breath, he looked deep into Razor's eyes. They were so lifeless, pale, and devoid of any humanity; pure fucking evil! "Now why don't you and your friends just fuck off and die?!" Razor snarled coldly before he finally released Wolverine.
As Wolverine fell to the ground with a dull thud, Razor began walking away in triumph to finish off the others. However, Chris Redfield was still alive and had just enough rage left in him to strike back. "HEY! Where are you going, you coward?! Get back here; I'll show you a real fight!" Chris shouted furiously as he dashed towards Razor with a massive combat knife in his hand.
Chris screamed with anger as he slashed at Razor multiple times, until he finally unleashed the last of his own personal arsenal against Razor. He fired a shotgun at Razor's face, effectively blowing a huge hole in his head. Then Chris shot his Beretta pistol at Razor's knees, forcing him down. Chris then sprayed a storm of bullets from a MAC-10 submachine gun, tearing up Razor's chest. Finally, Chris fired a shot from a .44 Magnum Revolver to Razor's head before firing a rocket from an RPG.
The explosive force sent Razor flying away and crashed through a wall, unfortunately leading to the next sector of the underground bunker. "Damn it! Well...if we couldn't stop him, then perhaps the others might have a chance now that he's been weakened. Right now, I gotta get these guys back to the infirmary. Please God, let the others stop this maniac...please!" Chris said to himself as he approached his downed team mates. "You're all right, guys! Come on; let's get you patched up. This is Chris Redfield reporting from Sector 1; we got several casualities and some wounded. I need a medical unit over here, ASAP!" Chris said on the radio while helping Chun-Li up to her feet.
Meanwhile at Sector 2, Deadpool was playing around with his weapons. "When that monster shows his face here, I'm gonna go Wu-Tang on his ass! Or was that Clint Eastwood? Chunk Norris? Ah, who cares! As long as I get to use these guns, I'm happy!" Deadpool said playfully. "This isn't a game, Deadpool! That murderous psychopath has killed hundreds of people; including some of our own!" Cammy White scolded. "What?! Wait...I thought that Spencer was the one who killed those other supers, though." Deadpool said stupidly.
Cammy sighed in annoyance, when Spiderman began groaning loudly in pain. "AH! My Spider Senses are going haywire; something tells me that the guys from Sector 1 weren't able to keep Razor away!" Spiderman cried out as he held his head. "That's because they didn't have something we have; we have the Hulk!" Deadpool said as he pointed to the Hulk. The Hulk grinned wickedly as he pounded his fists together. "HULK SMASH SCISSOR MAN!" Hulk boasted.
Suddenly, the Arrow gasped as he caught sight of something...or someone coming their way from the darkness. "Looks like you're about to have that chance, big guy. Get ready! He's coming our way!" the Arrow announced as he took aim with an explosive arrow. The supers and soldiers accompanying them prepared for battle as a very wounded but also very pissed off Razor began marching towards their direction.
Razor glared at his prey and growled menacingly; he might be hurt, but he was going to make damn sure that his enemies would be too. Preferrabally, though, he wanted them dead. "Who's next? Who wants to piss me off?!" Razor challenged as he turned both his arms into katana blades. "Ooh, ooh! Pick me; pick me!" Deadpool cried out before he jumped into the air. "Here's Deadpool!" Deadpool sang before he began blasting away with his automatic pistols.
Razor grunted as he was hit by Deadpool's bullets, but the other soldiers added in on the damage with a volley of their own bullets fired from their assault rifles and machineguns. Razor roared with impatience as he began charging towards them, when the Arrow finally made his move. "Step back, ladies and gentlemen! Because we're about to have ourselves some fireworks!" the Arrow announced as he fired an explosive arrow into Razor's chest.
Razor shouted in anger as he was sent flying up into the air, but that was only the beginning of the Arrow's show. The Arrow slid underneath of Razor and fired another arrow up at him, this time trapping Razor with a bola before he was slammed back down into the ground. "Time for the grand finale, folks!" the Arrow cried as he jumped over Razor and fired three explosive arrows at Razor.
Razor screamed as he was blown up by a huge burst of explosive green fireworks, while the Arrow just stood back and smiled in content. "Now that's what I call a show!" he boasted. Deadpool humorously cheered as Razor was still being blown up by the Arrow's fireworks, but Cammy wasn't about to let these idiots allow Razor the chance to escape. "That's enough foreplay, boys! Time to get down and dirty; Hulk, you know what to do!" Cammy cried as she ran up against a wall.
The Hulk cried out fiercely as he smashed his fists into the ground, causing huge chunks of debris to fly up. As Cammy bounced off the wall, she used her powerful kicks to send the chunks of debris smashing into Razor. "Ok, now for the main course! Spiderman, serve it up!" Cammy shouted as she landed on her feet. Spiderman swung towards Razor and kicked him away with his feet, making Razor scream.
Spiderman then shot several balls of sticky webbing at Razor, trapping him. "Order up! Who wants dessert?" Spiderman called out. Hulk grunted as he took the hint and grabbed a huge chunk of debris. "HULK SMASH!" Hulk cried as he smashed the chunk of debris on Razor multiple times. Finally, the Hulk jumped into the air and slammed his elbow into Razor. The sheer force of the impact was enough to make everyone cringe, and Razor's body remained motionless as soon as the dust settled. "PUNY SCISSOR MAN!" Hulk boasted as he marched away.
But as Hulk walked away, one of the soldiers cried out in horror. "What? What is it?!" Cammy exclaimed. "AH! I knew I was forgetting something!" Deadpool cried as he zipped up his pants. "You fucking morons! Look at what you've done; you've created a fucking hole in the ground! Look; that monster is gone now! For all we know, he could be digging his way over to Sector 3!" the soldier screamed as he pointed.
Shock and terror was written on the faces of the supers. "Oh my God! We gotta do something! Quick, any ideas?!" Cammy panicked. "Eh, don't sweat it! I'm sure the guys in Sector 3 can handle it. What could possibly go wrong?" Deadpool said with a smarmy grin as he slouched against the wall. Cammy gave him a dark look before she sighed heavily. "For your sake, I hope you're right!" Cammy huffed.
Speaking of Sector 3, Jill Valentine finally received Chris Redfield's message and was ordering her group around to begin with the medical team's departure for Sector 1. "Come on; we haven't got much time! Chris and the others need medical attention today, people! Let's move!" Jill commanded. "Almost done, ma'am. We just need a few more minutes to load up those healing units into the cargo van." a soldier replied. "We don't have time for that; what you have now is more than enough! Let's get moving!" Jill snapped. "Yes, ma'am! You heard her, boys! Get that van the hell outta here and onto Sector 1!" the soldier instructed.
Suddenly, Jill's radio went off. "Huh? Hello, who is this? What's your sit rep, over?" Jill commanded. "This is Private Kyle from Sector 2...do not send anymore reinforcements in the upper levels. I repeat; do NOT send anymore reinforcements. Razor has broken through Sectors 1 and 2; he's heading your way!" a young soldier's voice panicked. "What?! That can't be! How did they manage to let him slip by?!" Jill exclaimed in shock. "Wait...what are you doing? Oh God! No, no, no! NOOO! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU BASTARD! GET AWAY!" the young soldier screamed as the sound of gunfire was heard.
Jill felt her face drain of color as the radio went silent. "Oh no...what do we do now?" Jill muttered. Suddenly, an agonizing noise was heard and hurt everyone's ears. "I'm growing weary of your little surprise parties, you fucking maggots! I told you that I was not here to play games with you; I'm after someone very important. Now this is your only warning; fuck off and leave me be...or I'll show no hesitation to start killing off more of you meat bags!" Razor's voice announced through the PA system.
Jill Valentine grew grim as she grabbed her Beretta pistol and loaded it up. But as she did that, she was approached by Deathstroke. "You're probably going to need a little more than that, sweetheart. Here; take this!" Deathstroke offered as he handed her some body armor and an assault rifle. "Thanks! Ok, listen up people! Razor has somehow made his way to Sector 3; we will NOT let him get past this point! You hear me?! I want Razor's head mounted on a wall when we find him; do not stop at anything to try and kill him. And that's an order!" Jill instructed sternly.
The soldiers all saluted him before they followed Jill and Deathstroke. "Hey! What about us, Jill?! You can't just leave us behind!" Morrigan Aensland complained as she flew in front of Jill. "I need you and the others to stay here in case Razor somehow slips by us and tries to escape through here." Jill replied. "Grr, fine! But you'll be wanting my help sooner or later!" Morrigan pouted as she flew back to Nightwing and Rorschach.
As the others left, Morrigan pouted as she slouched against a wall. "It's not fair! Why doesn't anyone take me seriously?!" Morrigan complained. "Don't worry...they do take you seriously. They wouldn't have asked you to stay here if they didn't. Besides; I have a really bad feeling about this one...something tells me that we're not going to stay bored for much longer!" Rorschach explained. Nightwing nodded his head as he grabbed his radio. "I'm gonna make a quick call; let the others downstairs know what's going on!" Nightwing announced.
Nightwing began to dial his radio to speak with Batman, while Rorschach began pacing around the area. "Why are you doing that? There's nothing going on here!" Morrigan snapped. "Stay focused, Morrigan. You never know when this psychopath is gonna appear. Besides, you heard him. He's very determined to get to the President and he's not gonna stop for anything or anyone trying to prevent him from reaching the final sector!" Rorschach said sternly.
Morrigan knew that he was right and stood away from the wall before she flew up towards the ceiling. "Well, when you put it like that-" she began when she suddenly noticed something strange. She caught sight of some flickering lights and sparks of electricity in the distance. "What's that? Hey, Nightwing? Stay here; I'll be right back!" Morrigan said before she flew off. "Wait for me! You might need my assistance, Morrigan." Rorschach suggested as he walked after her.
Morrigan eventually reached the spot where she saw the flickering lights; she immediately regretted the decision to come here. "My God...what is this? What has he done?!" Morrigan exclaimed with fright. Rorschach caught up to Morrigan and was just as shocked as she was; an entire hallway was torn apart by Razor's demonic fury...along with some of the soldiers that had been with them earlier! "He's really angry now. We need to be careful; never underestimate your opponent, even if he's wounded!" Rorschach advised as he carefully stepped into the scene of the crime.
As Rorschach and Morrigan began wandering through the dark and bloodstained halls, a shiver of fear and morbid terror ran down their spines as they felt like they were being watched. Everywhere they looked, explicitly mutilated and butchered bodies laid still in pools of blood. Morrigan nearly vomitted at the sight of one particular body; the poor young man was skinned alive as he hung upside on the wall and had nails on his feet and hands.
Rorschach's face showed signs of true anger as he and Morrigan continued wandering through the halls in search of survivors. "I've seen some dark things in my time...but this is something else. He's not doing this out of anger or for the sake of leaving a message or some kind of punishment." Rorschach began gruffly. "Then why the fuck is he doing this?! Look at this; it's awful! In all my years, I've never seen anything so fucked up and evil!" Morrigan whispered with bitter tears. "Exactly; he's doing this for pleasure. God help the other poor innocent lives who suffered in the hands of this monster!" Rorschach said.
Suddenly, a clattering noise was heard in the distance and drew Rorschach and Morrigan's attention. "Over there! Something moved; by that door!" Morrigan whispered as she pointed. "I heard it...get ready!" Rorschach whispered back. As they carefully snuck over towards the large steel door, two more dead bodies laid against the wall. Morrigan gasped in horror as she saw savage claw marks and splatters of blood dripping above the bodies. "What kind of monster are you, you savage brute?!" Morrigan hissed as her tears became more bitter and angry.
Rorschach shushed Morrigan before he finally opened the door; nothing in this entire world could ever have prepared them for what they witnessed behind this door. Several people, barely alive, laid all around the dark gloomy room crying and groaning in pain. "He's been here! This attack looks recent; we have to get these people outta here!" Rorschach announced. "Why did he do this to you people?! Come on, we'll get you someplace safe. Let's go!" Morrigan said passionately as she helped a young man up to his feet.
As Morrigan and Rorschach helped the wounded victims escape, they were instantly greeted with more horror as they recognized one of the victims. "Come on, let's go! We can't stay here all...Slade? Slade Wilson?!" Rorschach exclaimed. Morrigan gasped in horror as she saw the state of absolute pain and misery the once great Gotham villain was in.
To be quite blunt, he looked absolutely pathetic. A man who suffered something far worse than any kind of torture or defeat. "My good eye...he took out my good eye! I tried so hard to fight back, but we never saw him coming! Please...you have to-" the poor old man muttered through wincing pain. "Shh! Don't say another word...we're gonna get you out of here, I promise! Just hold on." Morrigan shushed as she caught him in her arms. "No! Forget about me; you have to go save the others before it's too late! Please...don't let that monster hurt my Selina; I've lost enough already, I can't lose her!" Slade groaned.
Morrigan looked to Rorschach, who nodded his head slowly. "Ok...I promise. And I promise you that this murderous piece of shit is not going to get away with this! He's going to pay; pay with his life!" Morrigan promised. "Good...you make sure you do that. Rip him a new asshole for me!" Slade chuckled before he violently coughed. "I'll rip him 20!" Morrigan seethed. Rorschach did a double take as he noticed that someone was missing. "Wait! Where is Jill Valentine?" Rorschach demanded.
Slade pointed towards a closet, which was locked and coated with dried blood. Rorschach dreaded what laid beyond this door, but he knew that he had to open it and save Jill. But as he did, he cried out as he saw the state that Jill Valentine was in. She was alive...but barely by a thread. Her clothes were torn up, her naked breasts exposed, and horrible gashes and wounds were all over her entire body. "What did he do to you?!" Rorschach exclaimed as he scooped her up into his arms. "Sector 4...he's heading towards Sector 4! You have to stop him, please!" Jill mumbled before she fainted from a loss of blood.
Morrigan and Rorschach grew more determined than ever before to stop Razor. "All right; I'll get a medical evac for you right away. We're gonna find this scumbag and we're gonna make him pay for this; for everything!" Rorschach said as he carried Jill away. Morrigan was given a radio by Rorschach, who immediately took the initiative to call for help. "This is Morrigan Aensland requesting an immediate medical evac in Sector 3! I have several mortally wounded and dozens others dead; we need that medical evac team right away!" Morrigan said. "Copy that, Morrigan. Medical evac is on the way! Sit tight, over!" a man's voice replied.
Meanwhile; Nightwing was still speaking with Batman on the radio, completely unaware of what was going on with Rorschach and the others. "He's already busted his way through the other sectors, Bruce! We can't just sit around and wait for something to happen; we have to take action now!" Nightwing insisted. "I understand your concerns, Dick. I really do...but if we make even another tiny mistake, Razor is going to cause even bigger disasterous concequences. Stand your ground!" Batman assured.
Nightwing sighed heavily as he shook his head, but he reluctantly agreed to do as he was told. "Ok, Bruce. I'll...I'll try. How are you and the others holding up down there?" Nightwing replied at last. "Not so good; everyone is worried sick about what is going on up there. The way you're telling me, it seems Razor is more powerful than anyone ever thought about. Maybe Spawn truly is our last hope after all!" Batman replied. "If that's true, then why isn't he here?!" Nightwing snapped. "He probably is on his way, Dick. I trust him; he'll be here before anything else-" Batman began.
Suddenly, a loud and deafening noise was heard in the background from Nightwing's radio. "NO! Don't let him get any closer!" Batman screamed. "Bruce? Bruce?! BRUCE!" Nightwing shouted before the radio went silent. Enraged, Nightwing smashed the radio against the wall and shattered it to pieces. He had enough of sitting around; it was time for action. "Hold on, Bruce. I'm coming for you...and I'm coming for you, Razor!" Nightwing hissed as he walked towards a motorcycle. "Count me in, handsome!" Morrigan Aensland said as she suddenly appeared before him.
Nightwing smirked before he became worried. "Where's the others?" he asked. Morrigan's sad face said it all, and Nightwing wished he hadn't asked. "Rorschach is still alive, though. He's protecting the wounded while the medical team arrives...poor Slade, though...he never stood a chance!" Morrigan sobbed. Nightwing immedietely felt his anger boil over. "Now he's REALLY gonna get it. Come on, Morrigan. Hop on; we gotta help the others!" Nightwing said with fierce determination.
Morrigan wiped her tears away before she got on the bike and wrapped her arms around Nightwing, making the young warrior blush. "Well, what are you waiting for? Let's get moving and kick some ass!" Morrigan teased. "Uh, right! Hang on tight!" Nightwing said as he cleared his throat. He revved up the motorcycle and sped off through the massive hallways; they were running out of time!
