Chapter 27
Remember me?
Jinx didn't reply, she couldn't she was to terrified of the figure pinning her against the wall, it's black sword mere inches from her face. She coughed slightly as Nightmare continued to press his arm against her throat, cutting off her air supply.
"Nightmare leave her alone!" commanded Genesis's voice from behind d them, making Nightmare growl like an animal and turn his head in her direction.
"The life giver" he hissed as he looked at Genesis, her eyes looked both happy and sad as she looked back at Nightmare. Nightmare smiled as he removed his arm from Jinx's throat and stood up, he looked directly at Genesis pointing his newly created black sword at her.
"Why did you bring me back?" he asked as he looked at Genesis, ignoring Jinx as she gasped for air.
"We need your help" replied Genesis as she walked slowly towards Nightmare, her hands raised above her head showing she had no weapons, "We need your help to defeat Deathwing and to stop him from bringing the evil back into this realm" she said as she looked at Nightmare, watching him phase his sword out of existence.
"Deathwing" growled Nightmare as he felt his great rage burn in his chest, he slammed his fist into the wall beside him making the wall shatter to pieces, "Where is he?" he growled as he looked at Genesis, his eyes burned with his unstoppable rage.

Deathwing laughed as he evaded another of Cyborg's and Starfire's combined attacks.
"Please don't tell me that was your best effort?" he asked as he landed gracefully on top of a car and looked at panting duo, each of them were barely able to stay standing.
"Shut up!" screamed Starfire as she threw another starbolt at Deathwing, hitting him directly in the chest.
"Now that was mean" he said in a childish voice as he brushed his chest, "But this is cruel" he smiled as he appeared directly in front of her and pulled her into the air, ramming his knee into her chest as he carried her into the heavens.
"STARFIRE!" screamed Beast Boy as he transformed into a green hawk and flew up after them, his small green eyes gleamed with an intense rage and hatred towards Deathwing. The rest of Titan's looked up towards the sky as they listened to the sound of Starfire's screams of pain, until they where suddenly sent crashing down the street by several chains and a beam of red energy.
"You should have been spending more attention" said Slade in his usual cold voice as he stepped out of the shadows, his chains rattled noisily at his side. Paine stood next to him, her hands where still glowing a dangerous red as she smiled at the Titan's.
"Just when things couldn't get worse" panted Aqua Lad as he stood back yup and looked at the father daughter duo.
"Hey man it's all part of the job" smiled Speedy as he managed to return to his feet and placed a glowing arrow into his long bow.
"Titan's go!" yelled Cyborg as he changed his arm back to normal and charged towards Slade and Paine, closely followed by Speedy and Aqua Lad.

"I said tell me where he is?" roared Nightmare as he grabbed hold of Genesis and held her close to his face, the goddess trembled slightly as she stared into the pools of darkness that where Nightmare's eyes.
"The others said he was downtown" she stammered as she felt Nightmare slowly gather energy in his hands.
"Thank you" he smiled as he dropped her to the ground and walked towards the nearest shadow, his white wings shot from his back as he walked. He suddenly stopped and stared down at Jinx, who was still trembling, he could sense her fear something he had done before.
He smiled as he walked towards her and bent over, moving his head closer to her head. Jinx's eyes went wide as Nightmare finished whispering into her ear and disappeared leaving behind only a few white feathers.
"What did he say?" asked Genesis after a brief silence as she helped Jinx to stand back up.
"Something I didn't know a demon could" replied Jinx as she ran to the window and watched Nightmare fly towards the city.
"What?" asked Genesis as she joined her at the window and looked at the flashes of light that erupted from the both above and in the city.
"He said he was sorry" whispered Jinx, "He said he was sorry"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Why did you make me say that?" Nightmare asked as the wind blew against him, making his hair blow out of eyes.
"She needed t hear that" replied a voice inside his head, "Besides you needed to say it".
"Will I ever be free of you Onyx?" asked Nightmare as he smiled at the memory of the word that changed him from being a cold hearted demon to something that was almost human.
"I could ask the same question" relied Onyx cheerfully before his presence faded away leaving only Nightmare.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Deathwing laughed as he dodged Beast Boy talons but was hit in the back by one of Starfire's starbolts.
"Two on one hardly seems fair" he smiled as he picked his moment and blasted Beast Boy with a small blast of white energy, sending the small green bird crashing on to the roof of a nearby building.
"Ouch" groaned Beast Boy as he lay on his back, his eyes never blinking as he watched Deathwing sped towards Starfire. He quickly stood up and tried to transform but he coughed as he clutched his ribs, thanks to Deathwing Beast Boy had become a mere spectator in the battle between his former friend and his beloved wife.

Slade jumped away as Cyborg's sonic cannon destroyed the car he was standing on.
"You must do better than that" he said as he sent one of his chains flying towards Cyborg, hitting the brave hero in the chest. The force of the strike sent Cyborg smashing through several cars and finally into a building, making the destroyed wall fall onto him burying him underneath its debris.
"You'll pay for that you bastard!" screamed Speedy as he sent several arrows speeding towards Slade's face. Slade just laughed as his cloak enveloped him, making him vanish from Speedy's sight.
"Nice try" said Slade as he appeared behind Speedy and picked the bold archer by the arm, "But not good enough" he said as he slammed Speedy into the ground, forcing all the air out of his body. He laughed as he let go of Speedy's arm and turned his attention to the fight between his daughter and Aqua Lad.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Missed me" she laughed as flipped away from Aqua Lad and shot him smile as he landed gently on her feet. Aqua Lad just snorted as he charged straight at her, making her smile even more as she side stepped him and pinned his arm against his back.
"Why are you doing this?" he growled as pain shot through his body, making him attempt to remove his arm from Paine's grip.
"Fun" smiled Paine as she pushed him forwards and smiled as he rubbed his arm, "Besides Deathwing said we had to do this" she said as she pulled out her knife and played with it.
"But why?" he demanded as he looked at her, his arm was still throbbing slightly from the previous encounter.
"For my master" said Slade's cold heartless voice from behind him, making the blood in his veins freeze. Aqua Lad turned just in time to receive a huge punch to his face, sending him spiralling into a nearby car.
"Aww I was having fun" moaned Paine as she looked at Slade, he ignored her comment as he walked towards her, his chains rattled softly against his legs. He suddenly slapped her across the face, sending her crashing to the ground in tears.
"Next time don't act like such a child" he said as the debris burying Cyborg exploded, revealing the battered hero.
"I never said this was over bucket head" said Cyborg as he stood up. Slade just smiled inside his mask as he walked towards Cyborg.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Deathwing grabbed hold of Starfire's fist as she attempted to punch him, even with her alien strength she was no match for Deathwing's unholy strength. He laughed as he pulled her towards him and rammed his knee once again into her exposed stomach, making her cough in pain as he held her to his face.
"You always where jealous of her weren't you?" he asked as he looked at her, blood trickled from her face, "Besides I doubt she even like you" he smiled as he licked the blood from her face and spat it down to the ground below.
"She was my friend" hissed Starfire quietly as her eyes began to glow a bright green.
"You need to speak up if you want to be heard" smiled Deathwing as he raised his hand to his ear.
"I SAID SHE WAS MY FRIEND!" yelled Starfire as she swung her free hand and hit Deathwing in the face, sending him hurtling across the sky.
"You'll pay for that" he hissed as he spread his wings, stopping him from smashing into a building. Starfire roared in fury as she shot towards him, throwing starbolts from her hands and eyes, forcing Deathwing to use his wings as a shield.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Slade laughed as he allowed Cyborg to blast him the chest, the blue means of energy didn't seem to even harm the insane hell spawn as he charged into Cyborg, sending them both crashing through a wall.
"Ok so you got stronger but I've upgraded" said Cyborg as his other arm transformed into a sonic cannon, making Slade's eyes go wide inside his battle mask. Cyborg smiled as he blasted Slade away from him, sending him crashing through the ceiling.
"Going up" said Slade cruelly as his chains wrapped around Cyborg's legs, dragging the metal hero through the hole after him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Speedy stood up slowly and shook his head as stars danced around in his eyes.
"Ok where did he go?" he growled as he picked up his bow and looked around for Slade, he was answered by a blast of red energy from Paine, sending him skidding down the street.
"Forget my father" she smiled as she blew the smoke away from her hands, "You really should worry about me" he smiled as she watched Speedy stand back up. Speedy just growled as he shot one of arrows at the smiling girl. Paine was about to dodge the arrow until it was destroyed by a blast of crimson lightening.
"What the hell?" cursed Speedy as he watched the dust that was his former arrow disappear in the wind.
"She's mine" said Nightmare as he landed gracefully behind him, making Speedy jump slightly at the sound of his empty voice, "You should really go and help your friend anyway" he said as he pointed towards the motionless body of Aqua Lad. Speedy didn't reply as he took one last look at Paine, he felt sorry for her she didn't know what she getting into, he quickly banished the thought from his mind as he ran towards his injured friend.
"And who are you may I ask?" smiled Paine as Speedy took off running towards Aqua Lad, never taking her eyes off of Nightmare.
"You don't remember me?" replied Nightmare as he walked towards her, Paine couldn't stop trembling as a heartless smile appeared on Nightmare's face, "Pity just means I'll have to make you" he said as he created a black sword and rushed towards Paine, his eyes gleamed with sadistic glee.
