Son of the Demon Part 3
(King Tut's Hideout. February 13th 00:12)
Shezmu's eyes glowed lowly as Hal's ring glowed brightly, making bright green light too come out of his body. "Check it out, He's the 'Green Nightlight'." Flash said with a chuckle while Batman gave him a look. "…too soon?"
"Wait until we make sure he DOESN'T Kill us with the Plague of Death." Superman said flatly as he glared at Shezmu, but saw he was charging at them
"…Ah crap…" said Flash as he got smacked by the large beast, as the large chimera beast roared, glaring darkly as it shot out a blast of fire from his mouth.
"Since when could he breath fire!?" asked Black Canary, annoyed.
"I think it's from Etrigan's magic. It must be what's giving him more power." Said Batman. "We need to remove it so we can give Jason back his strength. And we only have a few hours to do it."
"No problem!" said Flash as he ran forward…only to get smacked by Shezmu, making him crash into Green Lantern, making the two go back.
"…I'd expect ya too be smarter than that, Flash." Said Hal flatly. "Given your actually a scientist and all…"
"Don't start, Green Bean." Said Flash as he got up. "okay…so attacking head on won't work…hmm…anyone got any ideas?"
"Well, for one…we need to keep him on the ground…" said superman as he saw Shezmu take off. "Oh no you don't!" said Superman as he fired a blast of heat from his eyes, hitting one of Shezmu's wing, making it roar out in pain as it fell back down, before growling and getting back up.
"I got him. Htrae dnib mih!" said Zatanna as the ground suddenly began to form rock chains and wrapped around Shezmu, making the monstrous being roar in anger as it glared daggers at them.
"I think that just got him angry…" said Flash as he saw Shezmu grab the chains and rip them off, roaring as he glared.
"Foolish mortals…you cannot defeat the power of the Egyptian gods." Said Shezmu with a roar as Superman fired a blast of heat from his eyes, making his hand glow with him roaring in pain.
"Doesn't stop you from feeling heat, does it?" asked Zatanna as she raised her hands up. "nrub mih!" said Zatanna as she fired a barrage of flames, as he grunted and growled.
The orb in Shezmu's chest as he shot out a giant blast of dark red flames, as the group dodged. "Oh right…he's got Etrigan's powers now…" said Hal.
"Okay, anyone got a plan?" asked Flash, as Batman was gone. Flash got a flat look at this, as he looked at the others "Of course he does HOW does he do that, anyway? Seriously, even I'm not that fast."
"Ugh…" said Jason as he was starting to stagger up, picking up the sword that was thrown aside earlier and stood up, his legs shaky as his skin was starting to turn pale. "Monster…you have to fight…me now…"
"You? HA!" laughed Shezmu as he grabbed him. "You are a fossil in the modern age, mortal."
"I may be mortal, but I am also a knight of the Round table. So I shall go down as befits a knight; in battle." Said Jason as he stood his ground, despite his appearance looking paler.
One of Shezmu's gauze went to grab Jason, but the man was able to slice it with a cringe, since he was starting to get weaker but stood his ground. Hal flew forward and sent an energy boxing glove at Shezmu's face, making him go back a bit as he growled.
"Foolish mortal…" growled Shezmu as he shot a blast of locusts out of his mouth, making Hal create a bug zapper too distract them, making them glow brightly as they were turned into a pile of dead insects from the lantern's energy.
"The Green Bugzapper…got a new name for ya, Hal." Laughed Flash as he quickly ran to Shezmu and began to send a rapid-fire barrage of punches at the masked mummy.
Shezmu went to grab him, but Flash got away quickly as Black Canary sent out a sonic scream at Shezmu, making the monster go back a bit as he growled, the windows cracking near by.
Flash then came back, his fist glowing super speed energy as he sent a super charged punch, cracking the mask a bit as Shezmu smacked him aside. "So, you think speed can save you, boy?"
"Dude, I'm not THAT young. I just look it." Said Flash in a joking tone as he ran around the creature as Jason began to waver, but Wildcat caught him.
"Gotcha, old timer." Said wildcat. "Ya need to relax. Wait until they get the orb thing back."
Jason looked at Wildcat with a small glare, as he says "No I must aid…" he then cringed as he gripped his chest, dropping the sword as Jason fell to his knees but Wildcat kept him from hitting the ground.
"Wildcat, keep an eye on Jason. Make sure he is safe." Said Batman as he got couple, grenade-like weapons before throwing them out at the creature, making it explode into fiery energy
"Gotcha, Bats." Said Wildcat as he says "Sorry, boy, but you're gettin' benched until you're better." He got him to a wall as Jason sat down, panting a bit as his neck began to turn pale. 'Ya better hurry it up, guys! This boy ain't lookin' so hot."
"Gotcha." Said Wonder Woman as she flew forward and sent three punches to his face, making the large demon growl and grabbed her by the neck.
"Tel reh og!" said Zatanna as his hand suddenly glowed and it forced itself open. "Andn ow…erif llab!" a ball of fire hits the mummy, making him growl a bit as he snarled, glaring daggers at her before charging, roaring at her. "Okay, I think I just made him mad!"
"Back off." Said Green Lantern as he sent an energy fist at the creature before black Canary sent another sonic scream to send him back, making him go back a bit before Superman and Wonder Woman both sent a powerful fist into his chest, sending himf lying back a bit.
Batman, seeing the orb was out in the open, grabbed his Batclaw out and put on an attachment before aiming. "Wait for it…" he concentrated as he aimed at the creature's chest.
Superman, seeing this, nods to Wonder Woman as the two flew over and grabbed his arms as Green Lantern pinned his chest too the wall with an energy clamp. Batman then fired three hooks that attached to the glass orb, sticking into the glass as he began to pull.
"UGH!" roared the monstrous being as he felt the orb moving as Flash quickly went to help, grabbing the rope as Black Canary did the same, the three pulling with all their might and getting the orb loose before it fell back, shattering on the ground as a fiery being roared.
"Og kcab ot nosaj!" said Zatanna as the fiery being felw back into Jason, as he gasped.
"Say the words, Jason! Now!" said Batman quickly as Shezmu threw Superman and Wonder Woman off of him and broke the light construct as he glared at Jason.
Jason began to pant as his eyes glowed dark red. He then began to chant "Yarva Demonicus Etrigan. Change, change the form of man. Free the prince forever damned. Free the might from fleshy mire. Boil the blood in heart of fire. Gone, gone the form of man, Rise the demon Etrigan!" Suddenly a large tornado of flames came out of him as Wildcat quickly moved away.
In the fire, Etrigan reformed though he was dressed differently know: Instead of the leotard he first wore, he was now clad in silver armor with fingerless gloves, metallic boots, a flowing black cape with a circular insignia on his back with a eye-like insignia on the back, and the sword Jason was holding was changed as well: it changed into a large, arming sword with a black hilt and a silver blade with strange ruins on it.
Etrigan looked himself over as he says "Interesting…I am now more knightly than I was before." He smirked, his fangs showing as he glared at Shezmu. "Creature, you dared to use me for a weapon. Lets finish this."
Shezmu growled as he ran forward, but was surprisingly slow as Etrigan moved at a faster pace and slashed at him, creating a slash mark in his arm. "He's a lot slower now…I guess Etrigan's power helped him with that weakness." Said Superman, as he sent out his heat vision to hit the creature in the chest.
Etrigan than got an idea. "Hmm…Superman, Green Lantern, Zatanna. To me my comrades!"
"…what?" asked Zatanna, as Etrigan rolled his eyes.
"Just get over here!" said Etrigan as the three came over. "listen, I have a plan…but you need to trust me."
"…alright." Said Superman as he the four looked at Shezmu, who got back up and growled and went towards them, roaring a bit as he powered up another blast of energy.
"Wait for it…and when I give the signal, blast him with everything you got." Said Etrigan as Batman threw a few batarangs at Shezmu as Wonder Woman threw her tiara like a discus. Shezmu just smacked them aside as he continued to run at them, Flash running forward as he got smacked aside from being to close.
"He's wiping the floor with them…" said Hal as Flash ran back at Shezmu and sent another super speed barrage of punches. "Flash, get out of the way!" Flash, hearing this, nods as he quickly got out of the way.
"NOW!" said Etrigan as he fired a blast of fiery energy down at Shezmu as Superman and Hal fired beams of energy at Shezmu, and Zatanna raised her arms up.
"Ygrene tsalb!" Zatanna fired a blast of magical energy to with the other three blasts as all four hits Shezmu, making the monstrous being roar as he was sent right into a wall with the four energy blasts crossing a bit before causing a large explosion, sending the heroes back a bit from the force of the blast, causing some of the stones to start to crack.
"…and THIS is why you don't cross the beams." Groaned Flash, getting up as Wildcat got up with a groan, rubbing his head as he looked at the smoke where Shezmu was standing.
"…think we won?" asked Zatanna, looking at the smoke and saw Shezmu was still there, standing.
"No way…how the hell did he survive that?" said Flash, his eyes widening with shock.
"This guy's harder to get rid of than a stubborn cockroach." Said Wildcat with a growl.
"dammit…I thought we had him that time…" said Hal, glaring at Shezmu as the creature began to chuckle a bit.
"It seems…I have underestimated you…heroes," said Shezmu with a dark chuckle. He looked up as ghostly energy began to form over him. "But I may as well…unlock the FINAL plaque!"
"Oh no…that's instant death!" said Etrigan, growling a bit.
"Correct…all those effected by this will be killed…" said Shezmu. "and don't think I don't know about the 'Goat blood' trick…I am well aware of it…so that leaves all of you vulnerable." That made their eyes widen.
"Uh…Bats? You got a plan for this?" Asked Hal, now nervous.
"For once, I don't." said Batman with a frown, as the others looked worried…but Superman's eyes just narrowed.
"…well, that's comforting…" said Flash in a flat tone as he looked towards Shezmu, who was powering up a ghostly white energy.
"Now…SAY GOODBYE!" said Shezmu as he prepared to fire.
"Alright…Goodbye!" said Superman as he fired a blast of energy right inside of Shezmu's mouth, making the monster to lose concentration as the energy died down as he gagged from the blast that hit his throat.
"…what the…hell?" asked Shezmu as he snarled, glaring at Superman as his eyes were glowing red still from the blast he just fired.
"Lets try this again, shall we?" asked Superman as he flew forward at a fast speed, creating a sonic boom as he tackled Shezmu, cuasing the two to crash through the wall and began to go up, as everyone outside looked up.
"Whoa, it's a bird! No…it's a plante! No wait, I got this one!" said Creeper, who was holding the humanoid jackal by the neck, as the jackal grabbed him by the arms and threw him into a wall. "I got it! It's Superman with a mummy in his arms!" he laughed at this as he jumped away from a punch from Anubis.
"What the hell is he planning?" asked Catwoman as she had Bast tied up in some Bolas as the large cat woman growled, beginning to try and break out from the as Superman dragged him up to the sky.
"It appears he is sending the demonic monster that created these beasts into the heavens…" said Azazel, watching as he dodged a slash from the large crocodile's claws as he slashed with his fiery sword.
Shezmu growled as he struggled against the Man of steel's hold as he saw they were going through the sky. "How is a mere human doing this!?" he growled, glaring down at Superman.
"That's just it…I'm not a human…I'm an alien from a planet called Krypton…I get my powers from your Sun god's source of strength…the sun." said Superman. "Lets see how well you take the light!" He then broke through the sound barrier as he flew faster upwards, going past one of the levels of the atmosphere.
"WHAT?!" asked Shezmu, as he cringed, feeling a strange heat formed as he looked back and went wide eyed as he saw the sun rising I the distance and saw Superman's muscles tense up.
"Now…say goodbye!" said Superman as he spun around in a super fast speed before throwing the mummy upwards, letting the sun's energy hit him. "Lets see how the power of Ra feels about you now!"
Shezmu roared in pain as he felt his body begin to break apart. "GAH!" he roared as he glowed bright white before shattering, turningi nto whisps of darkness. Superman panted as he saw the skies clear up back under him, the light shining through.
Back in Gotham, everyone looked up as Spoiler looked up. "Well…they did it…" said Spoiler with a smile as she heard a gasping sound and saw Robin was coughing, his boils now gone. "Tim!" She said as she hugged him tightly as he hugged back.
"Man…remind me to stay home the next time a mummy comes into town…" said Tim in a joking tone as Spoiler smiled under her mask as she lowered her hood and removed her mask, revealing her ture face: a pretty young woman with long blonde hair tied into a ponytail and dark blue eyes as she smiled and leaned forward.
"Uh what are you-mmh?" Robin looked surprised as Spoiler kissed his lips, which he returned and after a short moment they broke it as she put her mask back on and helped him up. "So…was that just because you're happy to see I'm okay?" he asked in a flirty tone, as Spoiler rolled her eyes.
"Easy Teen Wonder." Spoiler, giving him a wink as the two went back inside as they saw King Tut and his henchmen turn back to normal and pass out, all of them exhausted from the energy used to turn them into monsters.
"Well, that was fun while it lasted." Catwoman said as she crossed her arms and looked up at the sunrise. "Well, it looks like we're done here for now." As she saw the Justice League walk out. Catwoman and Catgirl got out their whips at this as the cops began to cuff King Tut and his men and drag them to the still good police cars.
"Hey Batman, if you need any help, just give us a call, okay?" asked Creeper as he ran off, chuckling up a storm as Azrael got his flame sword out.
"Until we meet again…" Azrael slash the ground and creating a smoke screen that caused him to vanish as the two Cat-themed heroines used their whips to go onto a building and climbed up.
"…you sure have some interesting friends." Said Flash with a chuckle, as Batman just nods.
"So Etrigan…since you helped us, I have a question for you." Batman said calmly as Superman landed. Etrigan looked up at this calmly, curious. "How would you like to join the Justice League?"
"Hmm…since it's clear that you want to keep an eye on me…I accept." Said Etrigan. "But you also have to ask Jason." He took a deep breath and says "Gone, gone o Etrigan…Resume once again the Form of man!" he cloaked himself in flame before turning back into Jason.
"I apologize for my earlier nature…so, I hear you want us to join the Justice League, yes?" asked Jason as the others nod. "Alright…I accept your terms. But first, lets head somewhere to rest. I am quite tired."
"Good idea." Said Batman with a very soft yawn. "Lets head too our homes to get some rest. I've had enough excitement until tonight…" the League then headed out at this, not realizing they had left something behind; four jars, which were on the ground in one piece.
The four jars turned slightly as their eyes glowed bright red, as a dark chuckle is heard from inside of the four jars.
