Chapter 21 Finale
Baron Battle fought alongside Jae as each set fire to the approaching enemy forces. Baron shot off fire bombs that created large explosions that threw men in different directions. Looking over his left shoulder at Jae, Baron felt a sense of pride at watching his young son holding his own in such a difficult battle. Suddenly Baron heard Warren yell as he flew through the air and landed in their direction followed by the shrieking of Gorilla Grodd. Then a sound that sent a shiver down his spine with the ear splitting roar of Aneleh. Turning his head towards her Baron saw the explosion of yellow energy erupt from Aneleh as she jumped upon Grodd. "Amazing, she has such raw savage power!"
Jae quickly ran over to Warren who slowly stood up. Looking in Aneleh's direction they could see the bloody limb of Grodd flailing about before Aneleh stopped. Then with a grunt she leapt over the surrounding combatants landing with a thud in front of the enemy forces and cleaved her way through the frightened mass of men.
Jae moved towards Aneleh. "Warren we have to do something, she'll kill them all!"
Before they could get to her the two came under attack again stopping any attempts to help her. Fighting his new opponent Warren noticed that the fighter felt different, almost a mixture of wood and plastic. Grabbing one to take a better look Warren could see the fighter was a giant toy soldier with a smooth expressionless face and a visible mold seam running down the front of the body. Turning to Jae and Baron he shouted, "They are just toys!"
"Great! Now I don't have to hold back!" Baron responded as he melted all the toy soldiers around him.
In the distance Warren could see the Toyman jumping up in down in anger as all his soldiers were melted. "No fair! You melted my toys! Not fair at all!"
Warren took a step towards the Toyman when he saw a blur of red and gold quickly move past him followed by a strong gust of wind. The Toyman was hit by the blur knocking him out and before his limp body could hit the ground the Flash caught him in his right arm. The Flash smiled at Warren before disappearing towards the school with the Toyman over his right shoulder. Warren then turned his attention to Aneleh and saw her covered in blood facing off against a clearly terrified enemy.
Aneleh's growls filled the air as she scanned the men in front of her. Her arms were outstretched as if to say to the enemy 'come no closer' and to her friends 'stay back, I got this'. In front of her the crowd started to shuffle and before long a person came into her vision. Captain Cold stood at the lead of his men as he starred at Aneleh. She furrowed her brow as her growls grew deeper and bared her sharp teeth at the small blue man.
"So, you are her. You are quite impressive and remind me of a small Kodiak bear." Captain Cold's voice had a slight accent as he made hand movements to depict a small bear.
"You come near me and I will kill you like one!" Aneleh growled through her clenched teeth.
Captain Cold smiled. "My dear, do you take me for a fool? You don't grow up around such creatures without learning a thing or two about killing bears. You are a savage beast and a threat, so like all threats you must be taken care of."
Captain Cold made a slow move for his freeze gun when Aneleh leaned forward. "I wouldn't ice pop. You saw what happened to that big monkey."
"I have no fear of you beast, just try and stop me." Captain Cold quickly drew his gun and fired his ice blasts at Aneleh who virtually disappeared in front of him. Her troops quickly separated to avoid the ice blast as Captain Cold looked in the air and around him trying to find her. To his left Aneleh landed for a moment before disappearing as he fired again. "You want to play games? Let's see if your friends like games, how about freeze tag?"
Captain Cold started shooting at her friends freezing them solid as they ran away. When he took aim at another student Aneleh's clawed hand grabbed his wrist and snapped it upward as a blast went soaring into the sky. Yelling in pain Captain Cold tried to pull away but Aneleh had a firm grip on his arm. Quickly he aimed his other freeze ray with his left hand firing at her face. Aneleh's reflexes did not waiver as she successfully dodged every shot fired at her and still didn't let go of his right arm.
Kicking him swiftly in the stomach Captain Cold doubled over with a loud grunt then she followed the kick with a strong right handed punch to his head effectively dropping him to the ground. Aneleh took the gun and pointed at him. "Tell me how to unfreeze them and I won't use this on you." Gesturing behind her at her frozen team mates the bright yellow eyes glared into his broken glasses that exposed a bright blue right eye.
"You can forget it, they will soon be dead!" Captain Cold leaned on his left elbow as he spit blood onto the ground. Aneleh growled, aimed at his feet and pulled the trigger. Slowly moved up his legs, panic set in as she got closer to his neck. "Alright it's the red button on the other side of the gun!"
Looking at the gun Aneleh saw a red and a green button. "If this is a trap I will freeze you solid and smash you to pieces. Just to make sure you I'm going to freeze you all the way."
"No wait, it's the green button!" Captain Cold said before he was completely covered.
"For your sake let's hope so." Aneleh pushed the green button and unfroze her all her friends before unfreezing Captain Cold. Starting with his arms and legs she tied them up so he wouldn't be a threat before defrosting him all the way. She checked on each of her friends to make sure they were okay when a large commotion caught her attention. Standing fully Aneleh watched as Superman fought Bizarro to the east, Aquaman was fighting Black Manta to the south, and Green Lantern was having a ring battle with Sinestro in the skies above.
As sanity slowly returned to her Aneleh scanned the landscape for Warren and Jae. Relief came over her as she saw they were fighting alongside Baron to the north of her. Looking at Superman again she could see Lex Luthor shooting a green beam at him which weakened the hero. Bizarro continued punching Superman before he threw him high up into the air before slamming him down to the ground. Anger once again filled Aneleh as she sprinted towards Superman to help him.
Lex Luthor watched in delight as Bizarro pummeled the weakened Superman. "You should never have resisted us Superman! This day has been long coming as we have lost far too much at the hands of the Justice League. After today we will be victorious and when history recalls this day they will show how the Justice League failed to stop the overwhelming might of the Legion of Doom!"
Bizarro stood over the massive frame of Superman, grasping him by his shirt he smiled with a jagged tooth grin. "People say Bizarro ugly, but Bizarro say you ugly. When Bizarro finishes with you Bizarro will be pretty and Lois will love Bizarro!"
"What are you doing fool! Stop delaying and finish him off!" Luthor stood with his hands on his metallic hips when he felt something jump on him. Looking up he saw the bright yellow angry eyes of Aneleh as she dug her claws into sides of his chrome armor. "Get off me stupid girl!" Pushing a button on his left arm 1000 volts of electricity swarmed his suit, but Aneleh wasn't letting go. Her hair stood on end as wave after wave of electricity filled her muscles. Growls of pain mixed with determination grew louder as Luthor increased the voltage when suddenly she tore the back off his armor.
Rolling to the ground Aneleh staggered to her feet, her hair still smoking as Luthor walked up and lifted her by her tatter shirt. "That was a futile effort you dumb creature. I shall delight in dissecting you myself when this is all done. Now stay put while the grown-ups fight!" Luthor punched Aneleh in the stomach then threw her to the ground.
As Aneleh lay on the dirt her eyes grew wide with fear as she held her abdomen. Sitting up she coughed up some blood as her mind raced. Tears began to stream down her face when Aneleh's fear turned to anger as a yellow glow slowly swirled around her body.
As Luthor walked back to watch the fight between Superman and Bizarro a bright yellow flash behind him caught his attention as it reflected off the chrome armor. Turning around he saw Aneleh on her knees looking skyward. She suddenly exploded into a sad, angry howl and the more she roared the brighter the glow became. Turning her attention to Luthor Aneleh roared, "Murderer!"
With a speed unequaled Aneleh had leapt on Luthor grabbing the sides his chest plate. The force of her momentum sent him on his back and with a grunt she tore off the chest plate throwing it behind her. Luthor kicked her off of him as he scrambled backwards to get away but Aneleh quickly came back at him clawing at the armor on his legs.
Grabbing his leg armor Aneleh swung Luthor high into the air and smashed him to the ground repeatedly before throwing him at Bizarro smashing the Kryptonite shards he had into dust. The effect on Superman was immediate as he quickly stood up and punched Bizarro with all his strength sending his foe far into the distance.
Turning around he saw the enraged Aneleh running full speed towards Luthor when Superman caught her with his right arm. The force of her assault was so strong that his feet slid a little while pulling her back. "Aneleh stop! Calm down!" He could tell her anger was too strong for to hear him as she swung her arms wildly in Luthor's direction. Superman could no longer hold her back or calm her down so he struck the back of her head making her limp in his arms.
Helena awoke to find herself lying on the cracked concrete sidewalk in front of a house she didn't recognize at first. As her vision cleared Helena saw the house was Aneleh's. Slowly standing up she walked up the steps and opened the front door to see Aneleh curled up on the couch with her legs to her chest. Her yellow eyes switched from looking at the floor to looking at Helena and a small smile came across her face.
"Aneleh, what am I doing here? Why did you take me from the fight?" Helena walked and sat next to her on the couch.
"I had to put you here. I needed to do something. I needed to finish this for us." Aneleh responded with a softened voice.
"What do you mean finish? Please don't tell me you killed again." Helena leaned forward with her eyes wide.
"I had to kill the big gorilla or else he was going to kill us, he left me no choice." Aneleh sat up slightly
"You promised me Aneleh! You could have injured him, not kill him!" Helena stood up in frustration as Aneleh followed, putting her index finger to her mouth and shushing her. "What? Why are you shushing me?"
"I told you I had to protect us, I almost thought the bald man hurt us but we are strong." Aneleh smiled as she looked at her bedroom door.
From the room Helena's eyes grew wide when she heard a baby start to cry. Looking at Aneleh she understood by what she meant when she said 'we' "Are you saying?"
"You need to go, she is mine for now. She is hungry, goodbye sister." Aneleh waved her arm and Helena woke up.
Quickly sitting up in the bed and looking around Helena saw she was back in her room at Wayne Manor. Rubbing her eyes to make sure she was actually there and not the station's copy she smiled in relief. Helena then remembered Aneleh's words as they replayed in her head when looking down at her abdomen. She put both hands on her smooth skin and started to cry. After a few moments Helena composed herself, got off the bed and opened the door. Walking slowly down the hall Helena looked down from the top of the stairs and after descending them she entered the dining room where Bruce, Warren, Jae, and Baron sat in an awkward silence as Bruce held an ice pack his hand.
Warren looked over and stood up then walked to Helena." How are you feeling? Are you hungry?"
"Well yeah I am actually." Helena sat across from Bruce who was staring her down with his blue eyes. Warren left to go to the kitchen to make her something to eat. "So how did I get back? I assume we won if I am here."
"Aneleh made a rather impressive appearance. She single handedly took out Lex Luthor and ended the fight. After his troops saw what you-she did they lost faith and retreated." Baron responded excitedly.
"Yes, despite her bloodlust it was what turned the tide of the battle." Bruce responded.
Warren came back into room with some toast, orange juice, and a bowl of cereal. He placed it in front of Helena and smiled. Taking a drink of juice Helena took a deep breath, "It's about Aneleh I want to talk about actually. While I was out I found out some very interesting news."
Bruce raised his left eyebrow and looked over at Warren who took a big bite of toast. "What did she tell you?" Bruce responded.
Helena stared at Warren with nervous excitement. "I'm pregnant."
Welp! That's the end of the story! I appreciate all those who have read this and commented. I truly appreciate the feedback as it always proves useful. I am going to work on some other projects but this isn't the end of the saga of Warren and Helena. Stay tuned and thank you! The Hubby.
