Rorschach vs Slade

Rorschach and the others hurry to find Slade and Raven.

As Rorschach run to the exit of Titan Tower, he sees a note on the door that reads 'Rorschach' on it. He grabs it and reads, "Rorschach, come to the city power plant if you want Raven back. You better hurry. Slade." Rorschach charges out the door.

"Where are you going?" Robin questions.

"Slade took Raven to power plant." Rorschach informs still running.

"Let's take my Owl ship, we'll meet him there." Nite Owl tells the others.

Rorschach run threw the city until he reached the power,plant, he studies the building for a few minutes, he then walks in. It was dark inside, the only amount of light came from a hole in the ceilling.

"Hello, Rorschach." said a voice.

"Big Figure." Rorschach replies.

Big Figure stepped into the light. "Knew you hadn't forgotten about me." he said as he puffed his cigar.

"Where's Raven?" Rorschach roars.

"You're asking the wrong man." said another voice. the lights flipped on, standing next to Big Figure was Slade with Raven in his arms. She was handcuffed and blindfolded.

"LET HER GO!" Rorschach yells.

Slade throw Raven to the ground, "You can have her if you beat me." Slade said.

Rorschach cracks his knuckles, "Let's go." he replies. Rorschach charges at him blinded by anger, he throws punches at Slade, but Slade is quicker and knees Rorschach in the stomach. Rorschach falls to his knees, Slade punches him in the face.

"No pain. Get up. Must get up." Rorschach says to himself, Slade then picks him up and throws him to the wall. He tries to punch him again, but Rorschach ducks and grabs his arm and throws him to the wall. Rorschach proceeds to punch Slade. Slade grabs one of his punches and rams his elbow into his face. Rorschach stumbles back and Slade roundhouse kicks him, he falls to the ground. Just then the other heros burst in.

"SLADE!" yells Robin.

"Happy, you could make it." Slade greets. Slade's men circle around the heros. Slade pulls out a remote from his belt and pushes a button on it.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" the titans screamed as they fall to the ground. They were being shocked. Slade ordered his men to attack the Watchmen. The heros were taken down quickly.

"What did you do to them?" Rorschach demands to know.

Slade started to explain, "You see I sent Control Freak to draw the Titans away from their tower. I then proceeded to bug the tower to spy on them. I also wired their costumes with a tazering system. I knew the Watchmen would come to the city to look for Big Figure, so we partnered up to destroy our pests. We watched to see if we could find a weakness in your groups. We know your names, faces, and backgrounds. And in the end, we discovered the weakness of the great Rorschach. Love."

Rorschach tries to pick himself up off the ground, "Another reason for you to die." Rorschach mutters.

"Hmm you should give up," Slade replies, "there's no way you can win."

Rorschach regains his footing, he slowly moves towards Slade. "Wrong." he replies, "Evil will be punished." He then charges at him and throws a punch. Slade moves and grabs his arm, then snaps it. "AAAAAAAAAHHH!" he cries out.

Raven can't see but hears the sound of bones snapping. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Raven begs.

Slade then rips of Rorschach's mask, then throws him to the ground. "GIVE ME BACK MY FACE!" Rorschach roars with anger.

Slade throws the mask to the ground, then step on it. "I can't see how Raven could love such an ugly boy." Slade states.

Rorschach tries to get back to his feet, but Slade kicks him in the face, knocking him back down. Slade then walks over to Raven. He grabs her by the neck and raises her to the air. "Now Rorschach, to take the one thing you love." Slade says as he starts to tighten his grip.

Rorschach is in rage. He stands to his feet, he grips his broken arm, then snaps it in to place. He charges at Slade while he's still off gaurd. He punches him in the face. Slade falls to the ground. Rorschach breaks Raven's cuffs and proceeds to beat Slade down. He gets on top of Slade and rams his fist in his face. He was about to end the fight, until he sees a piece of broken glasses on the floor. He could see Big Figure pointing a gun at Raven. "NO!" he yells as he pushes Raven out of the way. Big Figure fires the gun. A bullet enters Rorschach's side. Rorschach stumbles back in pain, "No, No pain. Must keep fighting." he says out loud. He heads towards Big Figure, who fires the gun again. The bullet enters Rorschach's right leg, but Rorschach keeps coming.

"RORSCHACH STOP!" Raven screams.

Big Figure then fires one more time, the bullet enters Rorschach's chest. Rorschach grabs the little man's head, and twists it to snap his neck, Big Figure was dead. Rorschach finally falls to the ground.

"NOOOOOO!" Raven cries out.
