Chapter 16- Speed Down

"Here's the rules bro.. A speed down here and now. I win, everything is unfrozen and you disappear off this planet as fast as the blink of an eye!" Flash explained.

"And if I win?" Black Lightning questioned.

"You get.. You get whatever you want and I'll not even make a move to stop you! I'll go without any resistance.. Deal?" Flash continued as he swallowed the uncertain lump in his throat. He had to make sure he won. No matter what he had to win even if it did cost him his life!

The two brothers lined up perfectly on the street, staring dead ahead. The first to get to the Dragster Warehouse would be claimed the winner if he could get the other to surrender in a battle along the way. It was risky and they both knew it. Black Lightning didn't seemed to stress though. He was sure he could out speed his younger sibling.

A lightning bolt struck behind the two brothers before time froze around the racers. Everything was stopped till the bolt's light was no longer seen and all sped up. Black Lightning shoved Flash before rushing ahead. Flash seeing his brother had the upper hand already, pushed himself as hard as he could. Flash could see his brother only a second ahead, but in speed that was forever.

Black Lightning knew that the Leaguer was on his heels. Black Lightning could see the windows and bricks breaking from the sonic booms that both he and his brother had created from using extreme speeds. Black Lightning took a glance back and saw Flash's angered face before a fist was thrown into BL's face. Black Lightning stumbled but was able to continue his speed.

"Now we're even!" Flash grinned as he pulled up next to BL.

So the two brothers raced on. Both trying to make the world the way they wanted it. And now the end was in sight. The brothers gave eachother a glance right before releasing their ultimate speed. The speed that was considered to be as fast as light. They ripped through the Dragster Warehouse. The sonic from their speed caused the building to slowly collapse around them. They stopped in the middle near a table to begin the showdown.

Flash rushed his brother and tried his super speed punches but BL was just as fast and was able to block every one. BL was also able to upper cut his young brother in the stomach. Flash stumbled back in pain but shook it off. Flash not willing to give up threw his twisting fists at BL. Flash was able to land one but only one. BL fell onto his back and the time gun rolled out of his pocket.

Flash gazed at his brother. Suddenly they both went for the gun. Each grabbed a side and tried to obtain the weapon. Beams shot around the fighters, freezing debree in mid-air. Flash then kicked his brother and held his prize. Flash's grin faded as a piece of wood fell on his back making him release the gun. The weapon slid back to the now grinning BL.

Flash pushed the wood off and stood to face his foe again. "We're not done yet!" Flash growled as he charged his brother. Flash suddenly stopped and his eyes met the steel falling straight towards the unknowing BL. "HAROLD WATCH OUT!" Flash screamed as he pushed his brother out of the way and got slammed himself.

Black Lightning stood dumbfounded by his brother's heroic incident. Black Lightning removed the steel bar and helped the dizzy Flash up. "You O.K.?" Black Lightning questioned worried.

"Yeah I think so," Flash replied holding his bleeding shoulder that had a fist sized chunk of steel sticking out of it.

"Good!" Black Lightning grinned before throwing a punch into Flash's face followed by several more. Flash astonished had no time to block or even try to block. Black Lightning stepped back and watched the younger man crumble. Still Flash came back and tried again. Once more the speed down went on. The fight seemed to last forever in the crumbling building, but Flash was growing tired. It would soon be over.

The red, cladded hero fell to one knee in pain and pretty much defeat. He just didn't have the speed to take out this bad guy. How could have he been so wrong to trust him and now end up like this? It didn't seem fair, but nothing ever was. Atleast he could say he put up a fight, but the fight wasn't good enough. He closed his eyes and waited for the endless sleep that would come after this one last burst. His final burst that would decide the fate of all worlds!

"Seems I am the faster one," Black Lightning cackled.

"Faster, yes... Better, maybe.. But there's one thing you're not better at than me!" Flash choked out with some blood.

"What's that?" Black Lightning asked as he took aim.

"Being loyal and a pure goof off!" Flash howled as he tackled his brother and caused the gun to go off. Flash laid on the floor and covered his head as the gun hit the ground along with BL.

"What did you do?" Black Lightning cried.

"Scurred with some wires when I had the gun!" Flash mumbled as everything seemed to become stopped in time.
