Disclaimer: Birds of Prey belong to the DC comics and the WB. I own nothing from them. I just write fanfics for a living and for my entertainment.
A/N: The character Liz, Ben, Drake, Monix, Beth, and Missy belongs to me
~*~
"My fears.." Liz paused for a moment, "I can't...I can't do that"
"Liz, you have to do this, this is the only way to stop Ben," he thinks for a second, "If you don't do anything, Ben will keep on killing and killing, each time he feeds on a metahuman or whatever, he gets stronger, you have to do this.."
"I can't" Liz starts to get scared, "I can't do this"
"Liz, you were fine, with this whole Ben thing, do you want him stop?"
"Yes, but facing my fears is another thing"
"I will be on your side, all the way." he walks closer toward her, "I don't want anything to happen to you...or anyone else...we can do this together"
She nods, "Promise?"
"I promise"
***
Ben heard what Drake's and Liz's plans, to order to defeat him; he isn't really pleased about it. The Joker smiles at him, "So, what is your plan?" Ben looks at The Joker and smiles evilly.
"I think I should pay my respects to the 'ancients'" He walks around the room, "This will make The Birds and especially Liz defenseless.."
The Joker smiles evilly, "Excellent work! This gives me a chance to delete Helena Kyle..."
"Sorry, your not part of it, I don't do partners.."
"Oh, so what I can do?"
"Sit down your lazy bum and find something for you to do..." Ben laughs evilly, "Watch the fountain, and watch what I can do...and soon...you will be bowing down to me...because when I get my present..I will be technically playing god"
"Oooooo nice!" The Joker pretends to play along...he could sense that Ben can waste him in like two seconds...and Ben could...
Ben smiles and he shimmers away and he reappears inside an old building and he opens this door, only he can see it and walks right through it, to the door of the 'ancients' in another deminsion, "hahahahahahahahahahahaha"
***
Liz collapses to the ground and she senses something, "Ben" Drake ran over to her side and helps her, "He's...killing the 'ancients'..."
"Oh god," he pauses, "Helena!"
Helena runs into the room and sees Liz on the ground, "What is happening?"
"Ben.."
Liz closes her eyes and two seconds later energy beams shoots out of her in almost every direction. Its starts to destroy the back part of the clock tower, creating a huge hole, Drake gets hit by the energy beam and the powerful force made him crash into Helena and the two shots out of the room and crashes onto the ground. A minute later the energy beam fades away and she lies on the ground weak, "Help me"
Drake gets off the ground and ran back into the back room, Helena rushes over to Liz's side, "Drake what are we gonna do and what the h3ll was that?"
"Let me handle this and as for the energy beams is what keeps her from shifting into this orb, in what she really is and also it will take many centuries for her to be metahuman again and she has to be reborn and it will be a disaster...for all mankind, I have to draw some energy and put into her...the reason this happened because the 'ancients' are dead and if the 'ancients' are all dead...she will become this thing she always will be.."
"So how do we get this energy source back inside of her? We have so many enemies on our hands...and now my cousin, might turn into this thing in what she is...people are dying because of this mess"
"I know..we gotta do this fast.."
"Do you have the energy?"
He shakes his head, "No, but I'm her 'ancient' still..maybe the other elements..if they are still alive...maybe we can combine our powers to save her..also Liz is the queen of all elements..they have to help her..if she dead..the elements including myself, will be easily vulnerable toward evil..and Earth...will turn into a dead zone."
***
"This is excellent!" said Joker, looking at Ben, "So what is next?"
"Terriozing New Gotham...and this the part you can join and create any thing you want..but Liz..is mine.."
"When should I begin?"
"In a few hours..." Ben is unaware Drake's plan to help Liz and he is totally unaware Liz is going to kick his @**.
***
Drake stands up and begins to summon the ice element, poison element, ect. They all appear and surround Liz's body, they all held their left hand out and created some kind of shape around her, Helena, Dinah, and Barbara watches it. Liz is shifting between a firey orbs to a metahuman form, tears is coming out of Liz's eyes, hoping she doesn't become this thing.
Some kind of energy is pouring out of the palms of the elements hitting Liz, and each minute they boost up the power source and twelve minutes later, Liz is back to her normal self.
Drake turns to the elements, "Go...go to another deminsion, so no evil won't find you..because remember were basically the only elements left, to produce energy to protect Liz." They nod and they all vanishes away.
Liz looks around, "Thank you"
"No problem," said Drake smiling at Liz, "Now.."
"We face my fears"
Drake is surprise, that she is totally up to it, probably because she wants to end the pain and suffering and what Ben gone for good. "Let's go." Drake turns to Helena and the rest of the birds, "Stay here.." They nod. Drake grabs her hand and they shimmer away
*** Liz and Drake appears inside of this old building, where she was held for about 10 years of her life, "It's been a long time"
"Yes"
Liz starts to have flash-backs of the place, and tears starts to come out of her eyes, "Its still a nightmare" Liz starts to get scared, "But, they can't hurt me..Ben murdered them..I should not be afraid..of this place anymore" Suddenly a blue light appears in front of Liz and went inside of her and she felt this some kind of energy going inside of her. "Whoa..that was..Monix..or Beth..."
"You still can't remember what element those two were, but you know Missy well"
"Because she goes with the flow...and she the wind element" she looks at Drake, "Next please.."
"You ready?"
"I'm ready" He touches her hands and they shimmer out of the building and they landed to a graveyard and she and Drake stands in front of her parent's graves, "I was evil....when I murdered them..I didn't feel any emotion when I did this..suffering and pain..I'm sorry..I did this to them...I wish there was some kind of way...that I can say sorry..and forgive what I did to them"
"Apology accepted" said a voice from the two graves..a green light appears and starts to swirl around her body and then enters it..
Liz starts to feel she has a lot of strength.. "Last one.."
"Accepting that you're a guardian/element...and time to be control" said Drake staring into her eyes.
"Yes.I accept it..its my duty to protect Earth at all cost from evil" Finally a white glow shoots out of Liz and then went back inside of her, "I always had that element.."
"You just had to activate it..now...its time" Drake looks at Liz, "Go get him and show what your made of"
"Yes"
"I will make you shimmer to this abandon street and you can summon him.."
"Yes." Liz sounds she determine to beat Ben, once and for all... "I'm gonna get him good" Drake touches her hand and she shimmers away and he shimmers back to the clock tower.
***
Liz appears in the middle of the street, the street is huge and has a lot of things she can fight him, "Ben...where are you?" She pauses, "Show yourself..I summon you.."
Ben appears in front of Liz, "The h3ll?" He backs up, "Whoa..how did you did this" He pauses, "Never mind that" he charges at her and she uses her TK on him and she made him hit the brick wall, "WHAT!?"
"That...was a warm up...and this is now the beginning"
"Oh yea" He stands and fireball shoots at his hands and hits her, she crashes onto the ground and she leaps back up to her feet, "So you wanna challenge me? So you got some kind of a death wish?" The two starts to circle each other and ready to fight each other. The two starts to throw punches, hitting each other and blocking the powerful blows.
Liz eyes turns bright red and she uses her flash-like speed and she grabs him and she flips herself over him and kicks him in the back, "Do you know how much damages you have caused?" She kicks him again and he falls to the ground, "You murdered lots of innocent people" she kicks him again and he spits out blood out, "You murdered Monix and Missy. She kicks him really hard, "This is for me" she kicks him in the jaw. She ready to kick him again and he grabs her foot and threw her to the ground and he leaps back onto his feet.
"You will never win! You took Beth away from me!"
"No! I didn't" She looks at him in the eyes, "You killed for her, does she, wants you to kill? You killed for love, is that it?"
"Shut up!"
"You killed for love"
"Shut up!"
"Or was it, you want her so much, you think killing me and everyone will bring her back!"
"Shut up, shut up!" he screamed and he charges after Liz and she lift her leg off and smacks her foot on his face, knocking him to the ground, she puts her foot on his chest.
"You will never win....and killing won't bring her back"
"You know nothing!" he throws an energy ball at Liz and she flew in the air and then she free fall from the sky and Ben waits for the right moment and then he uppercut her in the jaw, making her crashing to the ground, luckily her neck didn't snap.
She lands onto the ground and she gets up, he charges at her and she grabs him by the arm and they shimmer out of the road and appears on top of piece of land, just hovering over a open active volcano.
"Ben..you life ends here.."
"As if" He throws few fireball at her and she is quickly immuned to the fire, "What?" he pauses, "Then again, you're the fire element" he rolls his eyes and he charges at her and she trips him and he falls to the ground.
"Give up, you won't win"
"Really?" He pulls out a dagger out and he stabs her in the heart, blood shoots out of her mouth, he grabs her and looks down the open lava, "This is where you get off" he throws her and she falls into the lava and he smiles, he doesn't see her, "hahahaha..game over.." he walks away and ready to shimmer out of the area, then he hears a moan of something, he turns around and walks closer toward the edge and sees the lava bubbling.
Liz shoots out of the lava and she is holding some kind of an ancient sword, "Looks, like I have an extra life" fire starts to surround her body, Ben face drops like oh crap...he backs up, "Looks like you saw a ghost or something.."
"You win"
"Liar!" she raises the sword and a gold aura comes out of the sword and starts to surround her body, "This is it" she charges at him and starts to use slash at him like 500000 time a second, Ben tries to block it and he gets cut, bad. Liz stops what she is doing and raises the sword, ready to chop his head off and she sees his eyes went back to normal, somehow she destroyed the trance and the door of Armageddon as well
"What's going on?" He looks around, "The Joker...he did something to me...like..put some kind of spell on me" he looks at her, "Where are we?"
The fire disappears from her body, and still holds the sword, not sure, if he is playing some kind of trick onto her, "Ben?"
"Liz?" Tears is coming out of his eyes, "I'm so sorry..what I have cause..I blamed you...in Beth's death" he wipes it off his face.
"Oh, what are Joker's plans?"
"He didn't say..I don't remember..I..I.think he is going to do something to the city..really really bad..like...he is going to kill the birds or do something..whatever it is..its bad..."
"How can I trust you?" she pauses, "You're the leader of the 'Acolytes'"
"Was...I left..after Beth's death..I'm good...at first when I date Beth, it was like a cover-up, then I saw the side of her, not only we are like enemies, but something click, like something like this has never happened..it felt good..it made me like a new person.when she died.I blamed myself and you...and the elements"
She believes him and she grabs his hands and they shimmer out of the area and appear inside the clock tower, everyone sees Ben and charged at him, "Stop, he is on our side, he going to help fight The Joker..."
"Whoa," said everyone
