Thanks again for the reviews...I'm almost finished.
Batman leapt over Plague and kicked the Joker in the throat. He tumbled backwards and sprang to his feet, releasing a Joker bomb at the dark Knight. Batman covered his mouth with his cape and ran through the growing smoke, throwing a punch in the direction of the Joker.
Diana met head on with Pestilence who sent a stream of insects at her, she pulled out the gadget Bruce had given her and set it off. An electrical charge pulsed round her and the insects were instantly destroyed, she then launched for the orange-eyed man, fists meeting his metal bow.
J'ohn went off against Grodd, telepathically the two fought brutally while barely throwing a punch at each other, moving only to dodge the fights around them.
Shayera flew past the two as she brought her mace down on Famine's axe. Energy crackled around their weapons as the two pushed against each other.
Superman threw punches into the small group around him, Luthor blasting a ray gun, Shade blasting out darkness to confuse him and Death dodging across his path slashing out with her dagger.
While John was facing off against Star Sapphire and Plague. He blasted Star out the way as Plague cut his arm with a deadly sward. Thinking of Flash, he blasted at Plague and followed threw with a kick.
Death jumped back as Superman sent out his laser vision beams, she flipped to one side and elbowed Batman in the face at the same time. Shrugging at the staggering bat she launched after him.
Batman recovered quickly and tried to uppercut Death. She jumped back and kicked out, which he too avoided. With Joker behind him and Death in front he found it hard to fight them both off but managed to.
Plague glanced over at his sister and whistled, causing his two brothers to look at their sister's battle. They each nodded and called for others to take over their battles. Joker threw a bomb at Hawk Girl, who was blasted back, while Luthor fired a beam at Diana also throwing her back.
This gave the three brothers time to move around Batman and tackle him to the ground. Death glanced round at the recovering women and charged up to Batman, slid back his mask slightly and touched his bare flesh around the neck with her skeletal hand. Batman yelled in pain and went limp.
The brothers stepped back and watched their sister close her hand, a stream of pure light edging out between her knuckles. She stepped to the bottle Star Sapphire had brought with her and opened her hand over the top, releasing the energy into it.
"Lets collect the rest!" she yelled as her brothers split up to take on Diana and Hawk Girl.
John blasted Star Sapphire back and flew down to Bruce; he turned him over and found no pulse. Rage bubbled up inside and he screamed out firing as Death. She smiled as Famine hit his green light shield with his axe. Plague quickly stepped up and drove his sward into the center of the same shield. John held on tighter to his ring as he felt the shield crack, gasping as Death slashed her daggers threw it, finally breaking it apart, but causing one of her daggers to fly across the room, skidding to a stop to the left of Flash. She ignored her fallen weapon and dashed in, grabbing at his face; he too cried out and went limp.
Death pulled the small bottle back out and added another orb to the mixture as it shone brighter.
"NO!" Shayera screamed, mace crackling as she brought it back to hit Death. Plague stepped forward and caught her attack with his sward and the two stood face to face. Death skipped up to Shayera and grasped her face as well; she also cried out and fell limp.
Diana punched forward as Pestilence and Famine fought her and Joker threw in his own trick here and there. She watched helplessly as three of her friends died before her. Plague stepped up from behind her and hit her with the hilt of his sward.
Death stood above her, leering down. She reached out her skeletal hand, which had been emptied into the bottle. Diana closed her eyes and said her good byes to her friends, wishing she had more time.
Superman broke free of the group around him and looked over to the crumpled form of Diana. Only J'ohn seemed to be handling thinks Okay and that was because no one had ganged up on him. Superman's angrier grew as he saw his friend's dead bodies lying around the room. He fired a beam out at the group, causing everyone to scatter.
"You have it Luthor?" Star Sapphire yelled as she landed back down. Luthor nodded as he pulled out a box and opened it. In an instant Clark fell to his knees, suddenly weak from thekryptonite. Death circled him and knelt down in front.
"You can't win now, but you'll be seeing your friends soon enough." She set the bottle and opened the top. "It won't hurt much." She said, touching his face as he too fell to the floor. She poured the light into the bottle and put the lid back on. "One more should do it." She concluded, looking at the preoccupied Martian.
It took a few minutes to trap the Martian, but he too had something taken from him and fell to the floor.
Death sauntered over to Flash and set the bottle in front of him. Darkness was edging into his vision, but he had heard the screams of his friend's as they died...because of me!
"Thank you! I'll leave you alive to see the end." She said, kissing him on the forehead and standing back up with the bottle.
"You will release them once you collect some other souls?" Shade queried, stepping forward to look at the bottle.
"Of course, you just have to release the top and tilt it, the souls go right back!" she explained, standing up and walking to the center of the room, setting the bottle back down. Her brothers circled around it and then the four began chanting.
"All that these souls have touched,
Come to us,
Come to us.
Then those souls that come,
Come with the ones,
That they too have touched,
Till all the world's souls do stand above us.
Till all the worlds souls are fed to us!"
Luthor suddenly clicked, stepping up to Death he cried out for the other to stop her. She tricked me. She'll take everything! And then he slumped to the floor as his soul floated above Death and her brothers, circling around the bottle that shone out with pure love and kindness.
Flash sat where he was cursing himself for not doing something. He groaned as more pain flooded through his body. Looking past the haze he made out the bodies of Villains and Heroes lying wide eyed as more light swarmed above the four-horse men.
I can't possibly win? Flash sighed to himself. 'Cause of me...everyone dies! Pain continued through him as he threw out a hand to steady himself. His hand hit the floor and lay over something smooth and heavy. Frowning he blinked down trying to make out the object. All I need is a distraction, someway for them to break the bottle...then maybe they can win! Flash hoped, grasping the object. She's leaving me out of this collection. Bad move! He smiled slightly as he gathered his strength and used the wall to prop himself up. Taking a breath and ran forward, screaming bloody murder.
Death turned to the noise with a smile on her lips. "About time you d..." Flash thrust the object up and plunged it into her throat. Her words dying on her lips.
Flash felt something warm ooze down his arm, blinking past the folding darkness he made out blood that seep from her throat, down her dagger handle and down Wally's arm. He stepped back and dropping his arm, he finally realizing what the object he found was.
Wally's legs gave way at the same time as Death fell to her knees. The two stared eye to eye, hers wide in shock, his wide in terror. Her brothers were clutching at their hearts, screaming in pain. In panic the bottle containing the Justice League souls was knocked over and released. Every soul above them scattered and flew in different directions, back tot heir bodies.
The Injustice gang woke first and immediately ran away, while Death's three brothers hobbled out to their horses and flew off. Death and Flash still stared face to face.
She smiled sadly and opened her mouth, blood-streaming out. "Another will rise." She croaked past the blood, eyes returning to their normal pale colour.
Flash's breath caught in his throat as her skin pealed and rotted before him, her eyes sad and withered. "This isn't the end!" she shrieked as she turned to bone and fell apart to the floor. Flash continued to stare ahead, as he fell slowly into darkness.
He became aware of movement but couldn't see much except for a slight dot of light.
"Flash! Flash!" he head yelled across the darkness.
"John?" he whispered out.
"I'm here buddy! I'm here Wally." He answered back. Through the dot of light he could just make out John with Shayera clinging to his arm. He smiled in peace as he realized everyone was alive.
"You finally got her." He noted as he darkness closed closer.
"Wally!" and then darkness claimed him.
Please review! I'm mean! Will update tomorrow...I think!
