Please don't hurt me!
Flash looked around and realised that they were in Newcastle in England. He'd been here once before for a Stag night for a friend. It was daytime this time.
He heard a loud crash behind him and flinched as the sound of buildings falling erupted.
"I think we found him!" Shayera shouted, handling her mace.
"Keep together." Batman said, leading them to a square where people were running from.
"Glad to see you've joined me!" Dyren shouted, holding his sword out.
'Spread out' J'ohn told them all mentally.
They did as they were told, blocking off the exits and surrounding the beast. Superman went above, ready to start the fight. Dyren smirked and jumped for Superman. The two met in the middle and exchanged blow for blow. Dyren eventually got the upper hand and threw Superman down into the concrete.
Wonder Woman flew up and knocked the creature up into the air where Shayera waited and batted him across into a nearby building.
J'ohn fazed into the buildingbut got thrown back out, the creature chasing the falling body. Wally timed it just right so when Dyren would connect with J'ohn Wally hit him back into the lower building and caught J'ohn. He whisked him off to a corner to recover and then charged back into the fight.
Green Lantern currently had hit Dyren with a large green coloured fist. Superman charged after him and attacked him. Dyren kicked Superman up and close-lined Diana to the ground. He then grabbed Green Lantern around his fist and head butted him into the next building. Batman threw an exploding bat-a-rang but got it sent right back at him, knocking him down.
Shayera screamed and brought her mace down on Dyren's back. The beast hardly moved from the blow. He grinned and swung around, grabbing Shayera in a chokehold.
Wally found a piece of metal that had broken to form a sharp tip. Picking it up he charged forward and stabbed the beast in the back.Dyren yelled out in pain and dropped Shayera, hands flaying behind it to reach the metal stake. Unable to reach it the monster stumbled back, hissing in rage.
Flash helped Shayera up and handed her, her mace. Thinking quickly he grabbed Dyren's sword up and held it in both hands. Getting into a defensive stance he waited for the monster to charge.
At the last second he jumped to the side and sliced the monster under the ribs. With a bellow, Dyren threw an arm out and sent Wall flying through the last remaining window in the area.
Superman and Shayera both knocked Dyren into the air. They waited till his wings had caught him and he stayed, hovering in the air. The heroes met back up, battered, brused and tiring.
They gathered for a last despret attack in which Flash, being the fastest, would try to distract Dyren with the help of J'ohn while the other gathered their strength for a full on attack. Batman had come round and was pulling out his last bat-a-bomb. He hopped to get Superman to pin the monster down and maybe cause enough damage for the bomb to effectively knock the monster unconscious.
Flash was currently running back and forth dodging Dyren's fire attacks easily. He briefly ignored Flash long enough to knock J'ohn into the ground and turn a fireball to Superman and Green Lantern. Wonder Woman and Shayera shoot up to attack him, to which he grabbed the edge of one of the remaining buildings, ripped off the top and hit them both across town. He then threw the block at Flash who had to run up it so as not to get crushed. Dyren smashed the block, which sent Flash crashing to the ground.
Batman took this opportunity to throw the bomb at Dyren. It exploded and sent an impressive cloud into the air.
Batman actually smiled as he thought he had destroyed the beast. His small smile faltered as a deep laugh exploded out. The beast threw a fire bomb back at Batman which sent him up in the air, and back down.
The beast then looked over his shoulder, but got nailed in the head by a brick. He growled and looked down at the speedster who was trying to attract the monsters attention.
He sent a fire ball down and the chase started off again. It was just as Flash was running along the side of a building that the beast blew out the rest of his path and jumped forward. He slashed his sword up and set off a power blast that burst white light across the city.
The heroes had started to get up and Wonder Woman and Green Lantern had both gone to attack Dyren. They both stopped as the beast slashed at Flash and set the power blast off. Wonder Woman gasped as she felt a warm liquid spray across her. Looking down at her body she screamed.
A spray of blood was flashed across her chest, face and arms. Green Lantern was also sprayed in the blood, as were the crumbled grey stoned buildings behind and around them. Dyren licked the blood off his sword and stood in a patch of cleared rubble.
The core League members stood in shock. There was no body of the Flash, just the blood spray across Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and the building around them.
Wonder Woman's scream had dissolved into a sob as she stood, shaking in the horror of her teammates blood on her.
The team suddenly looked around in confusion to find themselves back at the Watch Tower.
"We beamed you back." Wild Cat explained, stepping up to the stunned team. Wonder Woman stood looking at him. "I'm sorry." He whispered.
Diana fell to her knees and cried, Shayera fell next to her and pulled her into a hug while John stumbled down the ramp and nodded numbly to Green Arrow who had stepped forward. He put an arm around John.
Superman looked at J'ohn only to find his vision cloudy and his cheeks moist. J'ohn looked at Clark and felt his heart breaking.
Batman stepped down and walked out of the room and to his private quarters where he sat in the darkness and hurt for his dead teammate.
Do I need to say anything? (Whimpers) Please don't hurt me!
