Chapter Eleven: Justice
It's been a while since I updated, but now I'm back on track thanks to winter break! I did receive some reviews about how I made Kaiba get killed and all, but... I just had to get that out of my system, no? Enjoy this chapter or else!
Seto laid on the floor, motionless. His lifeless body... now useless to stop Ra's al Ghul's plan of "cleansing" the world. "He's really dead, Mokuba?"
"I'm afraid so, Téa. Looks like it's up to us to stop Ra's now. Come on--"
"Wait!" shouts an unknown voice.
Turning his head around, Mokuba replies, "Who the hell was that?"
"Me," answers Ishizu as she walks away from the shadows.
"Ishtar?" questions Téa.
"It's not too late to save him." declares the exotic Egyptian woman.
"Whaddya mean? My big brother's dead! There's no way to revive him!" bursts out Nightwing.
"There is... one way to ressurect Seto... Mokuba, I assume?"
"How can you revive Seto?" asks the two.
"The pits... The Lazarus Pits," answers Ishizu.
"The Lazarus Pits? I heard stories that they can rejuvenate the sick or the dead by placing the users inside. Probably how Ra's lived this long," says Mokuba.
"He's lived for 600-700 years, Mokuba," mentally replies Ishizu.
"Ishizu? Are you somehow related to Ra's al Ghul?" asks Téa.
While walking towards her, "Why, yes I am... I am his daughter. My insane brother Marik... is my adopted brother. You see, back in Egypt... Malik was brutally punished by his abusive father, thus driving himself mad and sadistic. And for some reason, due to his Millenium Rod, Marik was able to slow down his aging process. You see, I adopted him temporarily, but he was involved in the murder of my very own mother..."
"But, Seto told me that Cecilia was an American, and you're Egyptian, so... how--?"
"I was getting to that. You see... Cecilia is my father's first wife. I am the daughter of my father's second wife. And he somehow twisted the deaths of Cecilia and my mother due to his extended use of the Lazarus Pits."
"Okay, I think we need to get my brother alive, now!" interrupts Mokuba.
"Very well, then. First, remove his armor, then follow me."
As Mokuba carries the deceased his older brother ontop of his shoulders, he follows along with Téa.
Under Dartz's Lair
Once the three enter the cavern underneath the Lair, inside rests a pit filled with unknown, greenish liquids.
"So, now I just lower him into the pit?" asks Nightwing.
"Yes, but remember to not come into contact with the liquid, for it kills healthy beings," warns Ishizu.
Lowering his brother into the pit, Mokuba quickly backs away as soon as he is drenched. In mere moments, the pit starts bubbling and soon, a dark figure emerges from death.
"Seto!" shouts both Mokuba and Téa.
But, he does not remember them for now temporarily. Due to the Pits' mysterious substances, it not only regenerates the weakened or the dead, but the user is driven insane, temporarily of course.
"Raarruuggh!" screams the recently revived Kaiba.
"What happened?"
"Now, 'most dangerous man on earth' is charging towards his very own allies," says Ishizu. "I'll stop him by using the power of my Millenium Necklace!"
Suddenly, a blinding light of gold emits from the legendary item, and it pushes the enraged Kaiba backwards.
"Urgh!"
"Don't worry, I made sure that he's not too hurt... just a little fazed."
"That's a relief," says Téa.
After some number of hours...
Mokuba's Computer watch: The time is 1:21 a.m.
"How much longer do we have to wait?" asks Téa.
"Now's the time, I sensed that he is ready." declares the Egyptian.
The three walk back down to the Cavern Pits.
As soon as Nightwing completes the flight of stairs, he sees his brother, waiting.
"It's alright, now give me back my armor."
Dartz's Lair
"That fool, Dartz. He was tricked by Ra's into believing that some 'Great Leviathan' was real," states the Dark Knight.
"Yes, he did. I faked my eternal 'love' for your own sake, so that if my father killed you... I would be able to revive you."
"Well, it was a good plan, Ishizu. But, where is Ra's now?"
"In Domino. You have to hurry, now. I sense that the 3 Demons and Gods are about to begin the destruction of your city."
"Fine, now let's go, guys!"
After the three masked heroes leave... Shiva... walks behind Ishizu.
"Do you think that they'll succeed... sister?"
"Oh, yes... they will... Lady Shiva... I mean Nyssa Wong."
Shine Dragon, after about an hour
"Arthur, are you there?" asks the Masked Vigilante on the computer systems.
"Yes, sir... I am, you do know it's kind of late, sir."
"Sorry, Arthur. I'll be back home in a few hours. Over and out."
"Do you think that Shiva has other secrets?" questions Catwoman.
"I don't know. Speaking of which, how is Shiva holding up?"
"She's recovering, for now... last I checked. Ishizu's taking care for her back at Dartz's Lair."
"Did you destroy that Lazarus Pit, like I asked?"
"Yeah, we did."
"Good."
In the Batcave, October 23, 2005 (about a day later), around 6 p.m.
"Still no sign of Ra's, yet. Damn it! An ecoterrorist isn't that hard to find!"
"Don't worry, we'll find him, then we'll stop him." assures Mokuba.
"Anything unusual nowadays? Perhaps we can link that to Ra's."
"Well, that kid, Leon Schroider, went insane and calls himself the Mad Hatter (His fairy tales) and his older brother, Siegfried went bald in some lab accident--"
Suddenly, the computer alarms go off.
Computer: Someone's destroyed the foundations of Arkham Asylum. Dozens of inmates are being freed as well as Wattan Gate Prison.
"Damn! Probably Ra's did this, but he could be anywhere..."
Somewhere inside the cavern, hides the legendary swordmaster, Ra's Al Ghul.
"That's right, Seto. I'll show you how futile your efforts are to save your precious city. Unfortunately for you... the 6 cards are about to unlease their power... right under your very own company! While, you exhaust yourself, I'll be waiting to defeat you for good! Hahahaha!"
"Let's go, Mokuba. Where's Téa?"
"She's currently in The Narrows, fending off several of the freed inmates, sir."
Quickly, the Dark Knight whispers something into Mokuba's ear.
"Alright," whispers Nightwing.
Moments later, the two heroes jump onto their vehicles, the Burst Stream, and Mokuba's KC custom made motorcycle, the Nightbird.
"Looks like I'll handle everything else on the computers, then," says Arthur to himself.
As the oldest friend that Seto Kaiba has, starts walking towards the computers...
Domino Square
In the slums area of Domino, one of the three guardians of the city... Catwoman, battles several foes.
"Take this, Cat!" screams Poison Ivy as she hurls some poison darts towards the female fatale.
"Wrong, you witch!"
In a split second, she kicks the seductress away.
Suddenly, dozens of inmates start their way at the heroine.
"Crap... this isn't gonna be fun at all."
Seconds later, a familiar motorcycle leaps into the air and ontop of it, Nightwing quickly disperses several of the insane patients away.
"Need help?" smirks the younger Kaiba.
"Not really, but I could use another hand..."
The two continue the battle to disable the inmates.
Kaiba Corporation
Moments later, a serpent-like dragon, known as Slifer, appears in a flash of lightening. Wrapping itself around Kaiba Tower, it roars... signaling the dawn of true power. Next, the roads twist and some burning winds appear out of nowhere. Then, the mighty Obelisk arises from the ground, thrusting its powerful fist into a nearby building. Following suit, Ra makes his arrival.
News: Hundreds of civilians are reporting that 3 monsters, that resembles the three God creatures in the Duel Monsters card game... have become alive? Here's reporter, Miho Nozaka who has live footage of these set of 3 creatures terrorizing Domino...
Batcave
"Sir! There are reports that 3 God monsters have been spotted nearby Kaiba Corporation!"
"Alright, Arthur, I'll take a look," responds the Dark Knight in his tank of a vehicle.
"My god... what has become of this world?" says Arthur, to himself. "Roland's probably trying to hack into the Kaiba Corp Mainframe to disable the life-like holograms."
Domino
Shortly after the three gods... their three demon counterparts make their appearance. First, Uria Lord of Searing Flames; Slifer's more demonic side, next up... is Hamon Lord of Striking Thunder... The Dragon of Ra's counterpart, and then finally, Raviel Lord of Phantasms, the most powerful of the three demons makes his unholy presence.
The civilians scream.
Batcave
A mysterious figure appears from the shadows, and it is Ra's Al Ghul.
As Ra's prepares his battle with Domino's guardian, "Ah, yes... I shall now rejoice in Domino's destruction. For the Gods and Demons are destroying everything in sight!"
Shocked, Arthur asks, "How did you get in?"
"Simple. I found the secret passage that Bane had entered. But, first, I shall kill you!"
"Nooo..."
Suddenly, a massive tank bursts from the waterfall, and the dark figure 'flies' from his vehicle. At last, he reaches his foe. He sees Ra's standing with his long coat. The immortal being marvels at him.
"You have taken too much time on theatricality. It seems that Ishizu has revived you, Set-- Batman."
"We both wear masks, Ra's."
"But, your's is a lie. You hate this city as much as I do. But, you're afraid to do what is necessary. Which is why you cannot fight injustice, and why you can't stop me from succeeding!"
"I will stop you, Ra's."
"Then you will die with Domino."
He draws his orichalcum sword out quickly and starts swinging at his student. Batman parries away, but dangerously towards Arthur.
"Arthur, get out!"
The butler rushes away.
"So you are afraid, Seto."
But, not of you, Ra's."
As the two men battle each other, Kaiba once again manages to trap the sword in between his scallops.
"Won't work, Detective. Remember, it is Orichalcum, the world's strongest metal."
"I'm not trying to break it, but I am twisting it away!" claims the Dark Knight.
Before Ra's could pull back his weapon, the sword is thrown across. Being a little occupied with getting rid of the sword, Ra's takes the chance to knee Kaiba in the ribs.
"Argh!"
The caped crusader quickly regains his footing, but Ra's tries to use powerful and deadly combat techniques to hinder him. "Aurgh! Urgh! Ooomph!"
Seeing his student in pain, Ra's takes a moment or two to stare at his student with grief.
Ra's states as he's in a fighting stance, "You could've been my surrogate son, Seto. But, now you're paying the price for not standing by my side!"
But, the Batman dodges the fierce attack and counters with a sweep-kick.
"Ummphh!"
"Never again, Ra's!"
In a sudden burst of energy, the Dark Knight does several powerful punches and kicks against the Demon's Head. Ra's tries to block, but somewhat fails. "Haarghh..."
"Give up?"
"Never!" shouts the Demon as he lunges towards him.
"Huurrgghh!"
The Batman tries to kick Ra's Al Ghul away, but is being strangled to death.
"Just like last time, huh, Kaiba? I have to admit... you've greatly improved since that last time on the monorail."
"Urgh... Hauurrgghh...Aaaagghhh..."
"But, this time... nothing can stop me!"
Much to Al Ghul's surprise, the 3 Gods and 3 Demons disappear from existence, which is shown on the nearby computers.
"WHAT?"
"Good job, Roland..."
Taking this chance, the masked avenger quickly takes out his grappling gun to yank away from the ecoterrorist. He does so and then before 'The Head of the Demon' could get back up, the student grabs him by the throat.
"After all this time, do you finally have the courage to do what is necessary?" asks the former mentor.
"Nothing's changed, Ra's. I won't kill you." screams the armored figure while he strikes him in the chest. "Urgh!"
"If not murder, then what is this?"
"Justice."
The Batman then hurls him against one of the cavern's supports.
WHAM!
Much to his surprise, the other master of martial arts, gets his footing back, and runs to the edge of one of the cavern's cliffs.
"I will only accept you as an equal... detective! I will never admit defeat!"
He leaps away from the edge and hangs perilously.
"What are you doing?"
"To show you what is necessary!"
"Just grab my hand, Ra's!"
As he falls, "Remember, this isn't over. It will never be over!"
"RA'S!... Ra's..." says Kaiba in a monotone voice.
Meanwhile, Nightwing contacts his brother...
"Hey, Seto... Good news is, we rounded about half the inmates. Unfortunately, Joker and the rest are still out there."
"Alright, then I guess it's time for you and Téa to come back home."
"Did you defeat Ra's al Ghul?"
"Kindof... but he'll be back... they'll always be back."
