Chapter 15
Last hope
Hotspot dropped the man he was holding and folded his arms across his chest.
"Ok lets try this again where is Slade?" he asked as he glared at the battered man. The man looked up at him and smiled as he spit on Hotspot's jacket.
"Have it your way then" sighed Hotspot as he bent down and picked the man up again. Moments later the man crashed into several trash cans making him cough in pain.
"Ok I'll talk" he said as he sat up and looked at Hotspot, holding his hands up in the time out sign. Hotspot smiled as he fixed his jacket and walked up to the man.
"Where?" he asked as he helped the man to stand back up on his feet. The man was about to reply until he was caught in what looked like a black rope. He screamed as he was pulled away from Hotspot.
"What the hell?" gasped Hotspot as he watched a lone figure hang the man upside down from a lamp post. He relaxed as he saw Nightwing step into the light and look at him.
"Oh hey Nightwing how's it going?" he smiled as he walked towards his comrade. Nightwing smiled as he pulled out his bo staff and used it to knock Hotspot onto his back.
"What the hell are you doing?" demanded Hotspot as he looked up at Nightwing, his eyes burned with an intense rage. Nightwing didn't answer as he slammed his bo staff into the ground, missing Hotspot's head by a few inches. Hotspot rolled out of the way and flipped u[ to his feet.
"You help kill her" whispered Nightwing coldly as he looked directly at Hotspot, "If you didn't come looking for me she would still be alive".
"What are you talking about?" asked Hotspot as he leapt away from another of Nightwing's attacks. Nightwing just looked at him and swung his bo staff around in a deadly attack and hit Hotspot in the side, sending him crashing down the street.
"That's right Nightwing he helped kill her, make him pay for his crime" hissed an evil voice inside Nightwing's head. Nightwing smiled as he listened to the voice and kicked Hotspot in the face with a flying kick.
"Now you've made me mad" growled Hotspot as he felt some of his blood his blood trickle from his mouth. He stood back up and watched as his arms burst into flames, "Let's have some fun" he smiled as he ran directly at Nightwing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Genesis watched the carnage of Nightwing and Hotspot battling.
"What is happening to him?" she asked herself as she watched Nightwing ram his knee into Hotspot's chest.
"Talk about a pointless question" laughed a voice from behind her. Genesis spun round and summoned a golden staff to her hands. Her eyes went wide I horror as a single robed figure stood in the middle of her chamber.
"Ho…how…how did you get here?" she stammered as she looked at the figure, she tried not to tremble but her body wouldn't listen to her. The figure laughed again as it walked slowly towards her, she backed away from it until she felt a wall against her back.
"What's the matter afraid of a little evil?" asked the figure as it looked directly at the terrified goddess. Genesis closed her eyes tightly and screamed as the figure approached her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hotspot roared as he blocked one of Nightwing's punches and replied with a sharp kick to his ribs. Nightwing winced slightly as he staggered away from Hotspot. The fiery hero saw an opening and quickly leapt at Nightwing, catching him in the chest with another quick kick.
"You've improved since the tournament of heroes I see" coughed Nightwing as he stood back up and looked at Hotspot.
"So have you" panted Hotspot as he smiled at Nightwing, the flames on his arms started to flicker slightly. Nightwing returned the smile before he launched himself at Hotspot, taking him by surprise.
"More than you'd believe" smile Nightwing as he grabbed Hotspot's arm and threw his arm and threw across the street into a solid brick wall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The figure stooped a few inches from Genesis's face and smiled at her.
"The saviour is mine now" smiled the figure as it sensed the goddess fear. Genesis eyes widened once again as she looked at the figure, "And the events of two years ago will once again come to pass" it smiled as it looked at Genesis look at.
"What?" she asked as the figure backed away from her.
"All life will be end by my hand soon enough" it said as it walked towards the centre of the room again, "Destiny beat me and now it shall help me" it smiled as it looked over it's shoulder at Genesis.
"Nightwing no!" gasped Genesis as she watched the figure turn and look at her.
"See you real soon" it said as it bowed to her and disappeared in a pillar of dark hellfire. Genesis slumped onto the floor and continued to look at the centre of the room. He stood up a few seconds later and looked at the Nightwing Hotspot battle.
"Stop him Hotspot for the sake of all life" she said as she felt a single tear fall from her amber eyes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nightwing whistled as he walked towards the spot where Hotspot lay. He was suddenly sent flying down the street by a blast of fire as Hotspot stood back.
"I'm not that easy to extinguish" he smiled as he threw several fireballs at Nightwing. Nightwing expertly dodged each of the fireballs and ran at Hotspot, spinning his bo staff around his head. He brought the weapon down in a deadly over head strike, Hotspot barely managed to avoid the attack and watched as the bo staff destroyed the road surface he was standing on. He summoned all of his power and channelled it into a deadly beam of fire sending Nightwing crashing through the wall of a nearby building. A few seconds later the building collapsed on it's self, burying Nightwing under a huge pile of wreckage. He collapsed to his knees and panted heavily as his arms returned to normal.
"I told you not to make me mad" he smiled as he looked over at the wreckage of the building Nightwing lay under.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cyborg followed after the ambulance as it speeded through the city streets. In the back was a worried looking Aqua Lad and Speedy.
"Cheer up guys I'm sure Star will be just fine" smiled Cyborg as he desperately tried to cheer up his friends.
"Hopefully" replied Aqua Lad as he looked at Cyborg managing to smile slightly. Speedy didn't reply, he just stared out of his window and watched the buildings zoom past him. Aqua Lad looked over at Speedy and tried to think of something to say to help him feel better but nothing came to his mind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Genesis watched as the building collapsed on top of Nightwing. She didn't know if she felt happy or sad at the thought of Nightwing being defeated.
"Life has been saved but once again we paid a terrible price" she sighed as she wiped away one of her tears.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hotspot stood up and walked towards the destroyed building and looked at it. He stood there for what seemed like forever until he turned his back to Nightwing's final resting place.
"I'm sorry my friend" he whispered as he waked away from the building. Suddenly the building wreckage exploded sending rubble and debris flying all over the street.
"Going so soon?" asked a cold voice from the rubble. Hotspot turned and saw Nightwing slowly rise out of the wreckage, his black wings gently rustled in the wind. Hotspot didn't say a thing as he looked up at Nightwing in horror. Nightwing smiled cruelly as he rocketed towards the confused and terrified Hotspot. Hotspot leap away from Nightwing but he was to slow and soon found himself looking into Nightwing's emotionless eyes.
"Goodbye" smiled Nightwing as he created a white sword and rammed it into Hotspot's chest. Hotspot's eyes went wide in shock as he felt a sharp pain in his chest, he coughed up some of his blood onto Nightwing's shoulder making him push the sword deeper into his chest. Nightwing pulled his sword free and watched as Hotspot slumped onto the floor.
"Why?" coughed Hotspot as he held his hand up at Nightwing.
"I had to" whispered Nightwing as his body changed back to normal, "You could never beat me in a fight" he smiled as he turned and walked away from Hotspot. Hotspot coughed a few times as he felt his strength leave him. He closed his eyes and ceased to move as a slight wind blew through the street. Nightwing stopped and looked up at the man he had hung from the lamp post.
"Where is he?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Raziel?" called Genesis as she turned away from her mirror.
"Yes?" answered Raziel as he appeared in front of her.
"Go release him" replied Genesis softly as she looked at the wraith, the tears still remained in her eyes, "He is our only hope".
"Very well" Raziel said as he turned and once again vanished from her sight.
"Let's hope he still has the will to fight" sighed Genesis as her body slowly changed into light.
