Chapter 7: The Stand
C Squared 's Lab
Caitlin swore, the crash was heard again, he was getting closer, another crash, the walls shook , he was nearly hear, she grabbed the gun, and several new potions , the ground shook, she heard the metal doors began to collapse from the relentless pounding, she turned to face the door, cocking her plasma gun, she was ready, the door was ripped open, and Joe stepped inside
The darksider was worse for wear, his scale hung of off his body, his raw flesh stretched as he stumbled forward, Caitlin could hear the muscles aching and twisting, his face was a mess, fragments of his fangs where buried in it, raw flesh with the shrapnel of bone fragments protruding from it, his wings where torn on and one of his horns was broken, he rasped and wheezed as he stepped into the lab, the fight with Riddler had not been kind to him. Caitlin lowered the gun, she didn't bother trying to talk with him, and she just pulled the trigger.
A concentrated bolt of plasma hit Joe in chest, it seared through what remained of his scaled armour, burning into his flesh, blackening it and burning deep inside him. He roared, charging forward arms outstretched, Caitlin rolled to the side grabbing one if her potions and hurling them at him, with a sharp crack the glass shattered, pouring acid over Joe's face.
He screamed in agony, covering his face, as the acid ate his flesh, taking the opportunity Caitlin fired again and again into Joe, he reeled back, howling as his body was punctured with searing burning bullet holes, he fell backwards crashing into the wall, his body writhing in pain, before lying still.
Caitlin got up , she fired a few more rounds into his body just to make sure, sighing she heard footsteps coming from behind her, spinning around she saw Anna now heavily armed , "Christ Catlin it's only me!" She said putting her hands up,
"Oh thank god, Anna, I dealt with Joe, he was pretty banged up from some fight earlier, I think h.." A wild dark energy blast tore through her chest, Caitlin's charred entrails splattered onto the wall behind her, she looked down shocked at the gaping hole in her chest, before pitching backwards.
Joe struggled to his feet, his body was barely holding together , the holes rent with Caitlin's gun made him quiver and shake with every movement, his wings where tattered and torn, but he twitched with dark power as renewed energy flowed through him, his eyes where alight with bloody carnage, he let a primal roar, shaking the walls of the Lab
Anna tried to raise her gun but Joe punched it out off her hands and wrapped fists around her neck he began to pull, she let out a scream that was cut short as Joe tore her head from her body, he threw it behind him, letting it plop to the ground. Anna's body dropped to the floor, he stepped over it, leaving the two women's corpses lying in the lab.
The palace had fallen, long live the Dark king.
