Where was Geo-Force?

Chapter 19: "Deepening"

A few minutes ago, one young hero left the battle before it even started. He may be called a coward, but right now; his new friends needed help. Reaching his destination, he called from the boulder he was riding on.

"Mod! X! We gotta go!"

"What is it then?" Mad Mod asked.

"Deathstroke and the others are attacking the West Squad!"

"Let's go!" Red X ordered as he jumped on a boulder being levitated. Mod did the same and the three flew to the location.

Now, Goth was flying high in the air. He was fighting Moth and Nightwing, who was flying with his suit's glider wings and rocket pack.

"DIE! DIE! DIE!" The red demon had lost all sanity and was hurling fire at his opponents left and right.

Nightwing flew behind him and threw a few ice disks at him. Goth froze for a moment before breaking free without any effort. He turned his attention from Moth and lunged at Nightwing with an uncontrollable rage. Moth shot psychic blasts at his back as he did so.

"I don't know how long I can last Toe!" Nightwing shouted to his friend.

"Me either, and where's Star?"

Before Nightwing could say he didn't know, Goth hit him hard and he was sent flying towards the ground.

"I know where she is…" Goth stated as he dropped his altitude. "She's with Mas and Menos.." Goth snapped his fingers and the twins were quickly by his side with an unconscious Starfire.

"Starfire!"

"No shit?" Mas and Menos said sarcastically.

"If you three hurt her, I'll..!"

"You've hurt her plenty of times Nightwing! Why would we?" The twins fired.

"Their feelings for her made them easy to control.. Perhaps you would like to see your friends?"

Below, Deathstroke was face to face with Dyggar the Earth dragon. The assassin showed no fear, but inside was different.

"You shall be the one that dies! You don't deserve to live!"

"But you won't kill me.." Deathstroke reached into his belt, and withdrew a device. He leaped toward Dyggar with all his strength and attached it to his chest. Before the dragon could react, Deathstroke was off again and holding a detonator. "See you in Hell!" He pressed the button and the bomb went off. Dyggar roared in pain and fell to the ground. Deathstroke walked over Dyggar; there was a chard mark on his chest and he had reverted back to human form. "You're not dead? Let's fix that." He picked up the same rapier he killed his son with and lifted it above his head. "Good bye."

"Yeah, goodbye Slade!" A devastating kick was delivered to his face that caused him to fall.

"I am Deathstroke Ray.."

"We all love to change our names." Red X commented "Krack, Red X; Robin, Nightwing; Slade, Deathstroke.. But we always remain the same."

"But some do change." Deathstroke lifted the sword, and brought it down.

Red X blocked it as two Xs shot from the back of his hands. "Tell me Wilson… how's Rose?" Deathstroke stopped and let his weapon fall to the ground.

"What do you care?"

"I care plenty. Leaving her was the worst thing I ever did. But I just couldn't hurt her by being a thief…"

"..It's been so long sense I've seen her…"

"Me too, two years."

"Three.."

"Slade… Go.."

"What?"

"I'm not the crime fighting type. Just go. I'll say you kicked my ass and I lost sight of you."

"How bout you go see our girl and I'll catch up later?"

"Sounds good pops, sounds good."

The two headed down a tunnel, then in two different directions.

"Mod! Where'd X go?" Geo-Force asked his comrade.

"I donno Brion.."

"Well, let's help the rest of our friends."

As the smoke cleared, Mammoth rose from the ruble around him.

"CYBORG!" The meta-human was ready to kill everyone and everything.

"Dammit! It didn't work!"

"Need help Vic?" Asked Geo-Force.

"Yeah, anything you can give."

Before either of them could act, Mammoth rammed Geo-Force into a wall and tackled Cyborg. The beast punched Cyborg's metal chest again and again, each time, causing a dent. Cyborg was helpless underneath him. He was pinned down with no way to fight back. Once Mammoth hit his system's battery, the entire place would explode.

"STOP!" Jinx shouted as she fired pink energy at him.

"You killed Shimmer!" He quickly got off Cyborg and headed for the girl; running into a trap. Mad Mod jumped in front of Jinx and held out his cane. Mammoth ran straight into the tip and was electrocuted by volts that would kill a normal human. Mammoth stopped; his body convulsed violently before falling limply to the ground.

"Did you kill him?"

"No love."

"Too bad.."
