Fight Club - Part 2

Supergirl quickly weighed her options. First, she could fight Siphon, with not guarantee she could win. She had this nagging feeling he wasn't going to hold back. Second, she could try and free herself from the arena. She'd read the report on Roulette and her club. The last arena's cage had been tough, and while Supergirl knew she could get through, she wasn't sure if she could do it while dodging Siphon.

She didn't have long to decide, though, as Siphon made the first move. His eyes began to glow with crimson energy. He unleashed twin beams of heat at Supergirl.

Supergirl sped out of the way, deciding on her first option. She came up beside Siphon and decked him, sending him across the arena.

"Sorry, Siphon. Hopefully you won't be too angry when you wake up."

Siphon picked himself up, snarling. He flew towards Supergirl with deadly intent. Supergirl sidestepped him, but Siphon was fast. Grabbing her cape, he swung her around. Supergirl slammed into the electrified cage. She grunted as she felt the pain. She was mostly invulnerable, but it did hurt.

The crowd roared as the fight continued. They'd never been so pumped up before. Seeing a new comer like Siphon beat up on the Girl of Steel, who many in the audience had dealt with in the past, was exhilarating. The violence filled their sick need for entertainment.

Five members of the audience were not so thrilled. The five Justice Leaguers watched with disgust.

"This needs to end. Now." Batman was disguised as a rich mob boss, as he couldn't go in as Bruce Wayne.

The rest of the Leaguers were in their usual civilian guises. All were ready to shut down Roulette's club for good.

"Arthur, you're with me," Batman ordered. "Wally, Diana, John, find the missing heroes."

The five disguised heroes left their seats and split into two groups.

Siphon grinned. He was winning. Ivy's control over him was absolute. Not even his deep feelings for Supergirl would break her hold.

Supergirl wiped the blood from her mouth. "You wanna play? Fine. Let's play."

She rushed Siphon in a blur, delivering blow after blow. He couldn't defend himself as the speed of her attack caught him off guard. Drawing her fist back, Supergirl unleashed all her anger into one punch.

Siphon was thrown across the large arena and hit the cage. He cried out as the electricity surged through him. He dropped to his knees, his body still smoking.

Supergirl approached her boyfriend. "Stay down."

As she was about to finish him, Siphon raised his head and lashed out with heat vision. Caught unaware, Supergirl was hit full on. She cradled her face and stumbled back.

Siphon swept her legs out from under her. He straddled her and began to throw punches. Blood began to coat his knuckles as he continued his assault.

In a fit of pure rage, Supergirl unleashed the full power of her heat vision. "Get…OFF!"

Siphon was thrown onto his back from the brute force of the blast. Dazed, he tried to regain his footing.

The crowd's excitement was deafening. Supergirl had to cover her ears momentarily. She noticed Siphon trying to get up, and lifted him by his hair.

"I'm sorry, Jamie." Kara punched him with all the strength she could muster.

Turns out it was a lot. Siphon dug a trench as he travelled to the other side of the arena.

Seeing he was almost out, she finished him off with a face full of heat vision.

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then they roared louder than before. Many were standing and jumping in excitement.

"You all make me sick." Supergirl grimaced as she spat out blood.

Roulette's voice sounded throughout the arena. "Looks like that's it! The winner is Supergirl!"

The crowd continued cheering as Supergirl and the unconscious form of Siphon descended below the arena. Supergirl felt the familiar pain of kryptonite and passed out, her body drained.

Bruce and Arthur headed up the stairs. Two guards tried to stop them, but it was useless.

Arthur slammed the first guards head into the wall. Bruce disarmed the other one and knocked him out with a nerve punch.

More guards quickly filled their places.

"This could take a while," Aquaman commented.

Diana, J'onn and Wally headed to the lower levels. This was where J'onn was detecting the mental signatures of the missing heroes. Dropping his disguise, J'onn focused all his energy on breaking Roulette's defences.

While J'onn was doing this, guards began to approach the trio. Diana and Wally looked around.

"We're outnumbered," Wally commented.

Diana grinned. "That's just how I like it. Protect J'onn."

Wally flashed her a smile. "Whatever you say, Princess."

Diana flew headlong into the guards. As an Amazon, Diana was raised a warrior, and it was times like this it truly showed. She disarmed and incapacitated guards without really thinking about it. It came naturally to her.

Wally was the opposite. He'd never been a fighter before the accident that gave him his powers. After he'd become the Flash, though, he'd learned quickly. He zoomed around the room, bringing men to their knees with five or six punches, each set of blows contained in a second.

J'onn's eyes stopped glowing and he finished a straggling guard with his Martian Vision. "This way," he pointed towards a side door.

Diana ripped her dress off, revealing her armour. Wally changed as well. Diana ripped the door off it's hinges, and the three Leaguers stepped into the corridor.

It was lined with cells, but they were all empty. As they made their way down the hall, they discovered they weren't alone.

In a few seconds, the three heroes lay at Superman's feet.

Batman pulled on his cowl as he ducked. He swiped the guards legs out from under him and punched him out.

Aquaman threw his opponent off the balcony. The guard landed in a heap in the casino. They had both shed their disguises and were now in full costume.

Roulette's face appeared on a holo screen. Her grin was positively malicious. "Ladies and gentlemen, have I got a real treat."

Batman struck with a right cross, knocking his opponent unconscious.

"It seems that Supergirl brought some friends. I present to you; Wonder Woman, the Martian Manhunter, and the Flash!"

Aquaman's heart sank while Batman's brow furrowed. Their team mates had been beaten and were now going to have to fight one another.

"Fighting against this power trio will be Vixen, Starfire, and Katanna!"

The six heroes rose out of the floor. Wonder Woman, the Martian Manhunter and Flash looked reluctant, while their opponents looked bloodthirsty.

"Let the fight begin!"

As the heroes fought, Batman and Aquaman turned back to the corridor in front of them. About three dozen guards had assembled.

"We need to get to Roulette. Diana and the others can handle themselves." Batman's eyes-narrowed. "Take them out."

Wonder Woman blocked Vixen's swipes with her bracelets. She could see Vixen and the others weren't going to give up. Whatever was controlling them was powerful, that much the Amazon Princess was sure of. She'd never seen Vixen fight so ferociously.

She deflected another swipe then grabbed Vixen's arm. She slammed the heroine into the ground, dazing her.

"Bring them down!" She yelled. "We don't have time to be nice."

Wonder Woman saw her team mates nod their heads before her feet were swept out from under her. She landed on her back. Vixen pounced and Wonder Woman grabbed her wrists. Vixen channelled the powers of a lion, snapping and biting at Wonder Woman's neck.

Slipping her legs underneath her opponent's legs, Wonder Woman kicked into Vixen's stomach, sending the other woman flying. Standing up, Wonder Woman flew into Vixen. She slammed Vixen into the wall before driving a knee into her gut. Wonder Woman finished her off by bringing both hands down upon her head.

J'onn flew above the others, Starfire hot on his trail. Literally. She hurled star bolts, which J'onn deftly evaded. He attempted to phase through the cage. He grunted as electricity pushed him back.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Roulette's voice taunted, "You have to stay in there."

The Martian Manhunter faced his adversary. "So be it."

Starfire shot energy from her eyes, but J'onn manipulated his body into opening a hole in his stomach. The beams passed through harmlessly. Starfire cocked her head to the right, confused.

Using his shape shifting ability, he transformed into a serpent-like being with arms. He flew into Starfire and drove her into the ground. She crashed into the floor with a grunt. The impact cracked the floor beneath her. Starfire blasted energy from her eyes again, this time catching J'onn by surprise.

He roared in surprise as his skin burned. Starfire leapt into the air and hurled star bolts.

J'onn J'onzz was a peaceful being. On Mars, he had been a pacifist. He had truly been at peace with the universe. Then a plague wiped out his species. It was then that he was introduced to pain. And to anger.

He was very slow to anger, which had served him well. His temper could get…ugly. Starfire was about to discover this for herself.

The Martian Manhunter resumed his humanoid form. He flew into the sky. And into Starfire. He grabbed her leg as she was propelled into the air and threw her into the ground. She landed headfirst and rolled over, grunting. J'onn then blasted her into unconsciousness with a mental blast.

Speed isn't everything, as Flash was discovering. He'd expected to take Katanna quickly and easily.

That hadn't happened.

Flash was fast. But so was Katanna. Granted, she wasn't as fast, but her reflexes almost matched his. She'd managed to block his blows, and even cut him. Flash had landed a few blows, but it wasn't good enough.

Flash ran circles around the ninja. He threw a few blows, testing her. She blocked them all.

"Fine. We'll do this the hard way," he said with determination.

Flash ran faster, creating an updraft. Katanna, sensing what he was going to do, lashed out with her sword. Flash was running too fast, and she couldn't touch him now. A tornado funnel sprang to life as the Flash continued to run.

The air inside the funnel was sucked out, leaving Katanna gasping for breath. After about half a minute, she passed out.

Roulette sat in her office, behind her desk. Her arms were folded across her chest, a look of displeasure on her face. "They're winning."

"So we'll send in a the big guns. Have one or two die. You'll make a fortune."

A grin crept up Roulette's face. "Even if it's him?"

Her partner paused. "You know our agreement."

Roulette laughed. "Yes, I know. Either way, I like how you think."

There was a knock at the door. Muttering obscenities, Roulette rose and answered the door.

"What?"

A swift kick sent Roulette skidding across the floor. Batman and Aquaman entered the office.

"Show me how to free the heroes, Roulette."

Vines suddenly appeared and entangled the two heroes. They were hoisted off the ground with surprised grunts.

"Now, now. Let's not get hasty." Poison Ivy stepped out of the shadows.

"After all, you men break soo easily."

A/N: Sorry it's been so long, guys. Life's been really busy. I'll have the next chapter up sooner, hopefully!
