Not Necessarily Lost, But Definitely Confused

Somewhere in Death Valley

"Are you sure that there's supposed to be a bad guy out here?" Flash asked J'onn through his comm. link. "Because we aren't seeing anything but rocks."

"There was a massive energy reading coming from the northern end of the park less than five minutes ago. Keep looking," J'onn said.

Flash turned to the two other members J'onn had sent with him and rolled his eyes. Green Arrow had his arm wrapped around Black Canary's waist; she had her head on his shoulder. They were watching the sun slowly light the eroded badlands.

"Can't you two get a room?" Flash asked loudly.

The two popped apart. Black Canary glared at Flash. Before she could say anything a loud explosion echoed through the valley. Flash took off with the love birds right behind him. The northern end of the park was crumbling to pebbles as a huge black dragon rose toward the rising sun. Standing on top of the dragon's back was Vandal Savage.

"That would be so cool if he wasn't the one standing up there," Flash said as he skidded to a stop.

Black Canary watched the monster on the beast ascend. "Maybe we should contact Fate, Etrigan or Zatanna. They might be a little bit more qualified to handle a dragon."

"Fine, let's just keep it busy here. We don't want any civilians getting hurt," Green Arrow said.

"J'onn we found your energy reading. It didn't happen to mention Savage and a dragon did it?" Flash asked as tried to leap onto the dragon's back.

Batman answered, "Did you just say 'dragon'?"

"Yeah that would be the long lizard thing with wings right?" Flash answered sarcastically. "By the way, you guys wanna send someone with magical abilities out here. This one might be out of our league." He laughed. "Get it… out of our League!"

Batman silently groaned at the reference to Zatanna, Fate and Etrigan being their own special "Magic League". "Just keep it busy and don't get yourself killed."

"Whatever you say Bats."

"Batman to Zatanna, Fate or Etrigan."

Fate was the one to answer. "We're busy. What do you want?"

"Vandal Savage just let a dragon loose from Death Valley." Fate muttered a very bad word under his breath. "What was that?" Batman asked.

"I said: We're on our way."

The three magicians arrived at the national park. Green Arrow was lifting a boulder off Black Canary's leg. The creature had hit a rock formation with its tail which caused a rock slide. Flash was keeping the creature busy on the other side of the park. Fate and Zatanna headed towards the action, leaving Etrigan to help Arrow lift the boulder, something he was not happy about.

They arrived at the southern end of the park in record time. Flash was taunting the dragon with his actions and Savage with his tongue. "Come on Mr. I-am-immortal. Can't you make that thing go any faster?" He spun around and shook his booty in the dragon's face then turned to face the creature and stuck out his tongue. The dragon let out a roar that sent Flash flying into the side of the cliff. Zatanna ran to help Flash up; Fate stepped in front of Savage.

"I only have one question for you: How did you know to find the Onyx Fire Dragon here?"

Savage smirked. "I left him here almost a thousand years ago. Of course this was under water at that time, so it took me longer than I expected to find him."

"Great," Zatanna muttered to Flash. "He knows the stupid beast."

"Which one?" Flash asked in response. "Both qualify."

Fate was keeping Savage's attention on him, giving the other two time to make a plan and Etrigan to get to their location. Zatanna thought back to her other encounters with dragons. "We need to get Savage off its back if we want to recapture it."

"And we do that how?" Flash asked.

"Anyway possible."

"That's the best answer you got?" She nodded. "We're doomed."

"Thanks for the support, Flash." Zatanna watched Savage. "When I say so, run up the dragon's tail and get Savage off that thing. Etrigan should be here by then and we can catch the dragon. Go, now!"

Flash took off, following Zatanna's directions. Etrigan arrived right after Flash grabbed Savage. As soon as the men were clear Fate, Zatanna, and Etrigan begin to chant. The dragon roared its displeasure as it became surrounded by a thin white smoke. Savage had Flash well occupied. The two were fighting atop the nearest rock formation.

"Come on slowpoke. You gotta move faster than that to hit me!" Flash taunted Savage as he ran circles around the villain.

Savage finally noticed what the magicians were doing to his dragon. He began a counter spell. The dragon roared again, shooting a stream of fire from its mouth. The fire ball hit the rock formation where Flash and Savage were standing. The rock crumbled beneath their feet. A chunk of it fell at Fate's feet and broke his concentration. The dragon, now free from the magicians spell, caught Savage before he hit the ground. Flash was trying to run up the falling rock, but there was too much debris. A piece of rock hit him in the head and he went down with the rubble.
