Chapter 4... Dragon Girl vs. Winged Angel and Manhunter from Mars vs. Cynical
Mazoku
(A/N: I don't own any of the shows mentioned in here...wah **sniffle**)
J'onn put Val slowly down. Fillia was pulsing with rage. More than ever
before, she was turning golden and more nearer to let her dragonic form
out.
"Put him DOWN...NOW!!!!!" she screeched. Her tail was shaking and moving
swiftly behind her. Her eye was twitching.
"MY! MY! FILLIA!" a drawling voice yelled out "you know what happens when
you transform! Are you willing to do that in front of everyone?" it was
Xelloss.
They all looked up and saw Xelloss, standing on a rooftop, with his stupid
standard smirk on his face. Fillia jumped up and joined him. They threw
off the matrix outfits and were in their standard outfits.
"Who are you clowns? Even I understand that you want to kill us, but why?!" Flash asked. "What?" yelled J'onn and HG at the same time. "The kid told me. He called us 'TARGETS'." "And you're ours!!" Fillia and Xelloss said together while jump kicking towards J'onn and Shay; but they dodged upward. They moved like twins (Xel and Fil!), which was weird because they despised each other. "We're going to move like twins to defeat them; but they've already got a good handle on that. " J'onn said telepathically. "Right! I'll take the living temper tantrum. You guide me in your Martian fighting style and we'll kick their wimpy butts! " Shayera said back. J'onn instigated a low telepathic link, allowing them to move on instinct with each other. They flew up to get ready; Hawkgirl threw her mace into a building to make it a fairer fight. They dove down to where Fillia and Xelloss were standing, on guard of course, and tried a triple kick. J'onn got 3 hits in, while Shay got 2. "This isn't working, J'onn! Got any other ideas?" Hawkgirl yelled to him. J'onn still looked confidant that this could work and he got the perfect idea to go with it. "I've been saving a special technique for a while now. It's called 'The Lightning Roll'. Want to try it? " He asked. "I'll try anything at this point! Show me what to do! " She practically shouted into his mind. They ran up to Fillia and Xelloss, who looked completely surprised, and bent backwards onto their hands. " THIS is the Lightning Roll? " Shay "telepathed". "Wait for it! " Hawkgirl felt all her energy building up into her feet. "What's this feeling, J'onn? " "It's your chi. it's all your energy built into one specific blow. Now use it! " "RIGHT!! "
GL and Superman were watching them from above (they were called by Flash because they couldn't find Lina and Gourry). "WOW..." they both breathed. "Who knew they worked so well together? Should we help?" Supes asked. "Hmph! No. They seem to be working out great!!!" he said frigidly. "Are you JEALOUS, GL?!" Superman asked him, amazed. "NO!!!!" he screamed; his ring flared up. J'onn and Hawkgirl bent more backwards, and kicked upwards with all their strength. The hits made it with a burst of lightning! Xelloss and Fillia were knocked high upwards. "WAHHHHH!!!!" They screamed. "Follow up!" J'onn shouted and they jumped and spun into a spinning kick. They landed and smashed Xel and Fillia into a building. "Wow..."she was shocked. She never saw or even moved like that before, "J'onn, where'd you learn to do that?" she said amazed. "It's a trick that's passed down in my family; because most of us were Manhunters. No else has ever preformed it before, you're lucky." He explained with a smile. "Dang!!!" Flash yelled. He had been watching from the sidelines (or sidewalks). "Man, that was so cool! You guys were in perfect sync together!" he shouted. Hawkgirl looked happier than before. "You've got to teach me more of these Manhunter tricks, J'onn! Please?" she begged; her eyes were starry. They heard a crumble and whirled around. They saw Xelloss and Fillia pulling themselves out of the rubble around them. "Did you really...think it'd that easy to kill...a monster and a dragon?" Xelloss said weakly. They fell to the ground and picked themselves up. They stood up straight and got in a fighting pose. They charged over and dove, with their right legs outward. Manhunter and Hawkgirl got hit and smashed into the concrete. "Owww..." HG said dizzily. They stood up and flew over the buildings and tried to recuperate. Suddenly, Hawkgirl grabbed her sides. J'onn grabbed her and held her close. She blushed furiously when he touched her. This started to tick off GL; he had the anime-style throbbing vein on his head. He was grinding his teeth and was making (absentmindedly) green jealousy demons with his ring. "Hey, J'onn...I'll be alright...I just need a little time...so leggo, already..." Shayera said feebly. "No. You can't fly very well wounded. I won't let you fight. It's too risky." He said firmly. J'onn stared into her eyes and made her go to sleep. She fainted out: "dang it, J'onn...zzzz..." she just went on snoozing after that. "Green Lantern!" he shouted over to him, "Take her, quickly! I'll handle these two..." he said sternly. GL flew over and picked up Hawkgirl from J'onn's arms "You can't take them alone!" he shouted. "Watch me!" J'onn yelled back and went down to the ground, where Fillia and Xelloss were beating up cars and such. J'onn hovered over the ground with his head low, looking like an open target. They charged at him, only to be met with a blue explosion Coming from J'onn's body and were blown back. The smoke dissipated and they saw J'onn's body glowing bright flaming blue. Snapper Carr (that weird reporter guy) was, amazingly, there. From the street, he was astonished at the new version of The Martian Manhunter. The cameraman was filming Snapper talking about J'onn. J'onn zoomed towards Fillia and threw her into the air. "Fillia!! Get out of the way!!!" Xelloss shouted at her. "What-AHHHHH!!!" she screeched. He jumped up and grabbed her arm and swung her into a building.
"What's he doing?!" Superman yelled as he swooped down next to Flash on a large building, "He's never acted like this before!!" "Isn't it obvious? It's because of Hawkgirl..." Flash said, "He's in love with her!!" "That's preposterous!" Green Lantern barked while coming down next to the Flash "Don't you know she loves me? I...I mean..." he stuttered. "We already know about it. Sheesh. And of course it's possible for him to love Hawkgirl. First, after that practical joke this afternoon; they've been acting weird. Like they were like twins while fighting those guys. They were in perfect sync with each other, it was freaky." Superman and GL looked confused. "What practical joke?" they asked together. "OH! It was right after you got your butt whupped by the spunky redhead (superman started to twitch here). Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl decided to play a joke on us; mainly in the spirit of April fool's Day..." he trailed off telling about the joke and what happened after. J'onn was in the middle of beating up Fillia. They were in the middle of a fistfight, but Fillia was being pushed back. Batman swooped in next to the threesome. "I've analyzed J'onn's...condition. It seems he's pushing himself to beat these people. But the thing is...to put it in layman terms: it's like having to run one more mile after a running full marathon. He must want to scream in pain from doing this. I'm calling this J'onn's hectic mode." He explained to them sorrowfully. They gasped; they didn't want him to get hurt. "Can't he just stop himself? Can't we stop him?" Flash asked concerned. "He won't do that. He's fighting for something. I believe he's angry with that woman for hurting Hawkgirl. But this woman is strong, incredibly strong. How is Hawkgirl, anyway?" Batman asked. "Not so great. That "dragon", as she called herself, hurt Shay pretty bad. She's got a couple broken ribs, from what I can tell." GL explained. "I'll take her to an ambulance." Supes said. He picked her up and took her down to an ambulance. He put her in and turned to go back; but Lois Lane was in his face. "All right Supes, what's going on?" she asked angrily. "Manhunter is...oh, how to put it...well, angry." He said hesitatingly. "OH, COME ON! What's really up with him!?" she screeched. "Okay...Hawkgirl and Manhunter were fighting those guys and doing an excellent job of it too; but then Hawkgirl broke a few ribs on an impact of a kick from the woman and Manhunter got ruthless. He's using this form to win and avenge Hawkgirl. He's pushing himself harder than ever before; he might die from doing this...we're worried for him...That's what we saw happen..." he explained. "So the Martian Manhunter is in love with Hawkgirl. This'll make a great story!!" she said slyly. "Oh, no..." Superman thought, "I don't think that's such a good idea, Lois. You should only print what happened here today, nothing else. Manhunter doesn't like publicity; he'll get mad at you, and that's not a good thing." "What can he do? You'll always be here to protect me, won't you?" she said. "I'm afraid not. Manhunter may very well be stronger than me. I've never fought him, but I've seen what he can do...and he can do a lot." He said. Manhunter was fighting Fillia with all his strength. He couldn't keep this up much longer. He felt like dying right there; but he wouldn't because of Shayera. She was his opposite in almost every way, but they were so much alike at the same time. He loved her. That's all that mattered here. Suddenly, Fillia pulled out something. Hawkgirl's MACE! J'onn burned with anger. He wouldn't let her get away with stealing Shayera's most prized possession. He slid back and relaxed his mind, his body, and his soul. He let go of all grudges and guilt. He felt light as a feather. Fillia saw him as an open target and zoomed in for a right kick. She didn't make it though. J'onn caught her leg and twisted it mercilessly. "Give...me...the...mace!" He said to her face. She slowly handed over the mace and J'onn released her, and she fell to the ground. Fillia rubbed her leg and J'onn loomed over her. "Stop this now, or one of us will surely die. And I won't kill; I'm not a Mankiller, I'm a Manhunter." He said sadly. Fillia listened and then passed out. "O...Kay..." she said last. The blue flaming energy surrounding J'onn dissipated and he fell on top of Fillia. The others Leaguers rushed over to help him up. They saw that he was sleeping and helped him onto a stretcher that GL made with his ring. Snapper Carr and Lois Lane rushed over to the heroes. "What happened to him?" they said in unison. "This Manhunter's Hectic mode, as Batman calls it." Supes explained, "We don't know how he uses it or what it does to him. It seems to activate when he feels extreme pain. Mental or physical, we still don't know much from what we observed. But what matters most is that he stopped that duo from wrecking the city... HEY! Where'd the other guy go?" Supes asked. "UP HERE, YA NARCISSISTIC JERK!" Shouted a drawling voice. They looked up and saw Xelloss sitting on nothing, drinking what seemed to be coffee. "Ahhhh...look at all the lonely people...how I love them all." He said with his trademark fruitcake smirk.
"Of course, I feed off ALL their negative emotions; so I do love them very much. They're so very tasty; it's like a buffet for me! Heh, heh..." he said dreamily. The league looked disgusted and shocked at the same time. "Okay, first of all...EWWW!!! What kinda person are you?!" shouted Flash "Second, how'd you get away from J'onn? And third, what's with your fruitcake face?!" He sipped the last of his coffee and smashed the cup in his hands. He floated down to a hover above the ground. "Simple questions. I am a monster that feeds off negative feelings, hate is favorite. I teleported out of there. And this is the way my face looks when I'm not being serious. I can't help the way I look." He said slimily. They just stared at him and heard footsteps running up from behind them. The league turned around and saw J'onn jump kick Xelloss. Xelloss disappeared before he got there. "J'ONN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Batman shouted "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE RECOUPERATING!!" J'onn said nothing. He simply scanned the sky; and his eyes widened and he spun around. He hit what seemed to be a black cloud. Xelloss fell out of it and started screaming. His eyes were reddened and open wide. The league was speechless when they saw what J'onn had done. He had stabbed a hole in Xelloss' chest. J'onn spoke in another language that Xelloss seemed to understand. He cowered in fear, clutching his wound. Manhunter's eyes glowed yellow and then transformed into what Xelloss feared most. ZELAS! "NOOO!!! MISTRISS ZELAS!!! DON'T KILL ME! I'M SORRY I FAILED YOU!!!!!!!" he screamed and went into a fetal position. J'onn transformed into his regular form. He bent down and patted him on the head and smiled gently. The league surrounded him and Xel fainted. Supes picked Xelloss up by the scruff and examined him. "J'onn...how'd you...why'd you...do that?" Flash said mournfully. J'onn was weak; they could all see it easily. He used his mind to say what his mouth could not. He sent images of Xelloss being tortured, beaten, and being torn apart by Zelas; compared to what Zelas did, J'onn was a saint. "J'onn, you gave him the right punishment. He was used to a lot worse from his evil master." He said explanatively. J'onn fell to the ground and they picked them up and took them up to the Watchtower.
