Outer space...a universe of insignificant light points submerged in infinite darkness.
I turn back to have a look at the earth…
A sphere of magma and darkness surrounded by a red glow…The landscape reminds me too much of my first glimpse of Trigon ,so I return to face Mors.
Mors by the other hand was busy looking at something that looked like a really huge green galaxy…that was becoming huger and huger. "Our attackers" he explained, as if I were a school kid "I've already realize that…how many of them?" I asked "Originally 3.600, 3.100 by now" was the answer "their weapon is the green lantern ring, but with Tenebrus's axe you'll have no problems with it" he finished.
I was there holding an axe that matched in force with the most powerful weapon ever created in the universe, being immortal, holding more power that the one I would have never dreamed of… and feeling miserable. For first time in my life, realizing the real value of freedom.
"You've to cut their heads" said my so-called instructor, while providing really painful electric discharges to one of the lanterns "!like this!" and the head of the lantern was separated from his body in the swing of a claw. This was really exasperating "I know how to battle" I exclaimed "then prove it, I'll be your witness" he respond just when a many eyed member of the corps through me an energy beam.
I cut the green light with the blade of the axe and proceeded with decapitation…that was the first…"Ok…one" I heard.
I was giving a look to our army while being attacked by the second lantern...we where less than a thousand…I killed the second…loads of gray skinned warriors, their armors half destroyed, gangs of fire demons spitted everywhere and me…killed the third…fire demons where taken down like flies…the fourth…but they managed to do bad wounds in the meantime…five..
This battle should have ended long ago…nine
Raven has an infinite number of demons at her disposition…fourteen
Why didn't she use them?…twenty one
She didn't need me in this combat…29…yet she uses me on it.
She's got an infinite number of powerful and immortal dark creatures to serve her…32
Why she want to have me as a servant then?…
…38…why?
…45…Why?
A squad of little spaceships where making their way to earth "allies" someone said…?
…50…"Well I think that was the last one".
The 50 skulls started orbiting around me forming a ring.
I look at myself to discover I was in the same conditions as the rest my mask crackled, deep cuts all through my body, and just starting to realize how much it hurts.
"You should continue with the combat" Mors suggested "oh yea…or else what?" I answer
"You'll disappoint her" he respond, fright in his voice "what Raven can't see can't annoy her" I said.
"She can see you" he stated glaring furiously at me…can she? Can she have a sight of the state of her army do nothing about it? "Does she?" I asked "she is always supervising us…always" he said.
In that instant something like a giant fire snake emerged through the earth's atmosphere…fire demons…5000 at least…different ones, with horns…and claws instead of tentacles.
They burned the lanterns alive…within seconds…that must have hurt.
"!That was quick!… why didn't she do that before?"
Mors put all the skulls inside a bag and give it to me
"Time to go" he cried as swirls of black teleported us back to earth.
We where now walking along a corridor, decorated by statues of cloaked skeletons …Raven is in obvious lack of decoration skills…
…we reach the door…and enter a chamber…there was Raven
In front of her, a giant screen showed the abandoned battlefield…blood and corpses floating in space.
Raven seemed quite calm tough…hood off…lying on her stomach…some little creatures jumping over her back "mmm…now this is relaxing" she exclaimed pleasantly "relaxing…shalaa" the creatures repeated.
It took one more instant for raven to realize our presence, or so it seemed…she open her eyes, which now where the stormy blue eyes I've have met in the past.
"So Slade?…have you got any souvenir for your mistress?" her voice was as cold as ever, and as she pronounce this words, the creatures resume the massage and conformed a semicircle around Raven as they repeated "!your mistress!…shalaa".
she sat on the floor…her legs crossed and an expectant look on her face.
I was stained in blood and with a bag of skulls in my hand…I turn it upside down…and poured its content at Raven's feet… " I knew you could be a good slave" she said softly.
Rage was rising on me…she stood up...put on her hood…"Why didn't you send those demons at the beginning?" I asked furiously "you didn't need me in that combat…why you make us battle like that?"…I was breathing heavily…raven by the other hand looked relaxed.
She seemed to meditate my question…then she answer me in a mocked thoughtful tone "mmm…come to think about it, you are right, the battle should have ended sooner"…
"...Maybe, I was just having too much fun" she said finally an her now four eye blaze red at me once again.
"!Fun!…shalaa".
Yeah the shalaa little guys of "stranded" are here.
And I've also change the summary, I'm trying to atract more audience.You know fics are judge by their sumaries,then readed.
Ok enjoy.
