Chapter 16

Metapocalypse Now

Part 3

Disclaimer: And its time to roll on with an all new chapter! Oh, and as always, I own nothing but what you see here!

The fighting so far had been intense, perhaps more intense the time with Slade and his Mirakuru Army. Something Oliver was grateful as Hell for that they didn't have Meta powers or they would have all been screwed for sure back then. Downtown Central was an absolute mess thanks to the fighting that saw cars damaged and flipped about in a variety of ways. Holes in walls and windows and even on the street itself. The Police Force were helping but they could only do so much to help out Teams Arrow and Flash and a part of Oliver was starting to seriously consider using more lethal methods against the Earth-2 Metas. And despite the injury Earth-2 Laurel had sustained earlier on, she was also in the fight with her fellow Metas and was keeping her Earth-1 counterpart quite busy in both fighting and barbed remarks. Refusing to even listen to any rational words her counterpart was trying to get through to her on. For Laurel 'Black Canary' Lance, learning that their parents on Earth-2 had ended up dead courtesy of either the Earthquake Generator or the Particle Accelerator had been heartbreaking.

Which had been just two of Black Siren's reasons for going the route she had gone on. The lack of closure where Ollie and Sara was concerned was only another factor in that too since she had no idea if Sara was even alive still unlike Ollie who was confirmed to be very much dead on her Earth as he had gone down with the Gambit's sinking. Laurel barely had a chance to see how the others were coping, though she could tell Oliver was having a very hard time with a guy who could use Telekinesis at one point during her fight with her counterpart. Roy however had thankfully knocked the guy out much to Oliver's relief after he'd managed to sneak up on him and mentor gave student an appreciative nod over it before getting back into the thick of things. The two archers quickly finding themselves up against a guy who could seemingly spit something close to lava from the palms of his hands! The fact he looked like molten rock only served to make the two think the stuff coming out of his hands was close to or actually was lava!

Roy was soon thrown a good distance from the fight and Oliver soon found himself on the ground looking up at the Molten Rock man. "Heh heh, looks like I'm gonna melt me a Green Bean."

And just as he was about to strike the downed archer, a staff whacked him in his mid-section, causing him to double over in pain, allowing for Oliver to quickly get out of the way thanks to his savior! His opponent soon found himself covered in thick layers of ice thanks to the good Captain Cold and his cold gun. "Sorry we're late, time travel can be a little rocky." Called out Ray Palmer as he and the others showed up and soon joined in on the fighting.

Oliver was pretty damned surprise but gave a nod of appreciation to Sara who smiled at him with a nod of her own. The two began to fight side by side against the soldiers of Zoom much to the irritation of Earth-2 Laurel as rage filled her at the sight of her long to be dead sister! Even knocking her Earth-1 counterpart down rather harshly and forcing her way through the large fighting crowd. "Does this mean your mission is over with!?" Asked Oliver as he and Sara fought on.

"For now, it is, but Rip wants us to consider being the new Time Masters now that the old ones are all dead."

"Quite so Ms. Lance, but as I said, I'm more then willing to allow you all the time you need to make your decision." Called out a slightly breathless Rip Hunter as he fought nearby.

Sara never even had a chance to say anything to that thanks to what she thought was her sister coming up to her with an angry look on her face. "You've no idea of the bone I've got to pick with you!" Snarled her sister angrily as she lunged for her.

And making Sara dodge it in confusion. "Canary! That's not your sister!"

"What the Hell do you mean that's not her!? It sure as Hell looks like her!"

"What he means you boyfriend stealing whore is that I'm the Laurel of Earth-2!" Screamed the angry Laurel as she struck out again, only to get her leg caught by Sara.

Who was quite stunned by that admission all things considered! "I'm gonna make a guess here but you never got any closure on your Earth did you?" Asked the White Canary as she fought against her sister's doppleganger.

Who were soon joined by the Black Canary and pretty much driving Dinah Lance into a conniption fit over the whole damned thing thanks to news helicopters and the like! She swore that Quentin and their daughters were going to be in Hell once she was done with them! As neither of her two daughters… Or well, all three which was weird to even think about had no place in that sort of a situation damnit! The trio continued to fight on in a two on one fight with the Lance sisters doing all they could to get through to their third sister even if she wasn't wanting to listen to any of it thanks to her rage and long held grief. "Its good to know that whatever happens wherever it happens, I can always appreciate a damn good fight." Muttered Mick Rory as he fought with the Snart siblings.

"Yes, something to be very happy over." Called out Leonard as he iced another Meta using the safest setting he had.

Leonard Snart was still somewhat upset over the fact that the team had pulled him out of what was going to be his last moment at the last second as he had honestly felt it was his time to go. Plus it had really been something he wanted to screw the Time Masters over on even more in addition to his blowing everything to high Hell. He and Sara had also chosen not to pursue anything other then friendship since neither was sure anything beyond that was still something the Time Masters, even dead was something of a manipulation of theirs. "You guys have got A LOT of explaining to do!" Yelled Sara as she decked a green skinned man who'd been using his legs to hop around on much to her immense annoyance.

"Of course sis, of course! After we've dealt with our friends here!"

"LEN, DUCK!" Came the surprise but urgent yell from Sara and he quickly did so as a sonic scream came flying over his head and into several of their opponents, instantly putting them down and out.

"I owe you a drink!" Promised the man to his fellow Legends team mate and focused his attention back on to the fight in front of him.

"Damned right you do." Muttered Sara with a grin that quickly died after an attempted leg sweep by Laurel 2.

Who was even sneering at her. "Aww, did you sleep with him too you little slut?"

Sara glared at her, no longer even feeling sorry for her sister's counterpart and more pissed off then anything else. "No, bitch, I didn't. Kissed him? Yes. Sleep with him? No."

Laurel 2 sneered at her again as she had trouble believing that. Though the look didn't last long as Laurel 1 punched her in the face, making her all too willing to kick her hard in the mid-section to show her appreciation of that. As the fight continued on along with barbed comments, Ray 'The Atom' Palmer was in the air fighting a tailed figure who could seemingly fly with no help from any kind of source. Something that was honestly fascinating to the man even though he knew it was Particle Accelerator related. The man used a Nagamaki as his preferred weapon of choice and Ray was thankful as Hell that he hadn't been able to cut through his armor just yet. "Look, why don't you just put that down and we can fight it out fist to fist?" Tried the man but all he got was an angry response in another language.

He was then forced to duck when his opponent threw the Nagamaki at him, a move that quickly found its place in a wall behind him and the two were soon trading blows. Until Ray got a solid blow to his jaw that sent him reeling away and feeling disoriented thanks to it. This allowed his opponent an opportunity to screw with him and went after a kid who'd been unfortunately caught in the crossfire and carried him off into the sky while also grabbing his weapon. Ray, seeing this, shook off the disorientation and quickly took off after them with Kendra noticing and following along as well. As she wasn't about to let her husband face this on his own! The time they had spent in the past together had brought the two really close to one another, to the point of falling in love and even wanting to marry one another, something they did shortly after re-uniting with their team mates. It was something that Carter hadn't been happy about at all after they brought his latest re-incarnation onboard after discovering Vandal had him in his employ.

Kendra had firmly told him that she didn't want to be stuck in the past and that it was time for a change. And this was one of those changes. Carter didn't like it but he thankfully left it be as he had no desire to ruin the happiness his centuries old love had found with another. As she flew, Kendra narrowly avoided a blast of energy from an attacker that FIRESTORM was fighting against, and her fellow team mate seemed to be rather enjoying himself for that matter. Which made her wonder if that was a good or bad thing but she figured Martin was likely already reprimanding him for it. His family on the other hand were quite surprised to see him fighting like he was and worried more for his safety then the fact he was apparently also a Meta-Human! "WOO! Nearly as great as Football!" Yelled an enthusiastic Jax as he fought the guy who could throw energy blasts.

Martin said nothing, though he was certainly tempted! As this went on, Ray was throwing blasts at the flying tailed figure and demanding he put the kid down but was so far ignored. The figure then did an abrupt rise into the air that turned into a spin, allowing for him to strike Ray's helmet rather hard and causing a small crack to happen that he didn't realize had occurred. The attack sent him tumbling a bit as he hadn't expected it and was glad the helmet had absorbed the impact! As that woulda given him one Hell of a headache no doubt! "Want leetle boy? Then catch!" Called out the figure in horrible English and to Ray's horror, the man dropped the little boy who soon started to plummet to the ground.

"NO!" Yelled the man in horror and quickly hauled ass to catch the kid.

Seeing what had happened had both horrified and angered Kendra greatly and using the staff she'd been training with in sessions with Sara, used it to great effect as she angrily smashed it into the man's face. Sending him tumbling away in agonized pain and soon flew off to try and help her husband catch the little screaming boy. Ray put as much power as he was able to into his thrusters to catch the kid before he could hit the ground in a very unpleasant way and those on the ground let out cheers when he caught the little boy. Something that made Ray give out a sigh of relief! Unfortunately however, the power he had used to speed up faster had kept him going right into the ground and he had to instantly turn around with the little boy wrapped up in his arms. "Oh, this is probably gonna hurt." Muttered the man worriedly.

And true to his thoughts, it was exactly that as he went crashing into the ground and kept on going until he hit a wall with a groan. "RAY! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" Yelled Kendra in alarm as she hurriedly landed on the ground and immediately went over to him and helped him get up.

"Ugh, yeah, I think so." Moaned the man as he let go of the boy once being helped to stand up.

"Thanks mister!" Said the kid gratefully.

"Anytime buddy!" Replied Ray as he pat the kid on the head and messed his hair up some.

Kendra however had a slightly worried look on her face, a look her husband soon caught sight of. "What? What's wrong?"

"Your helmet babe."

"My helmet? What about it?"

"Its… Well, its gone."

Ray looked at her in shock over that one and he quickly put his hands on his face and realized then and there that it was true! And thanks to news crews and the like, many who thought him dead were surprised as Hell about the fact he was alive and well! Not to mention fighting against bad Meta-Humans! "Well, that's… That's something." Muttered the man in slight shock while Kendra just shook her head at him and hugged him as cheers went up yet again.

More cheers could be heard all through out the city as the Meta-Human army soon collapsed to the ground, unconscious much to the surprise of those fighting against them. "They… They did it! THEY DID IT!" Yelled out an over joyed Barry as he realized what had happened!

Never realizing that Harry himself had fallen victim to it since he had given his protective gear to his daughter for her safety. Barry quickly got to work by putting every Meta in a jail cell that had been Cisco-fied and per the request of the Lance sisters, had placed Earth-2 Laurel down in the Pipeline in the hopes they could get through to her. Zoom himself was snarling in rage after he had thankfully managed to outrun the wave that knocked his army out. A run that took him well outside of the city. "You think you've won Barry!? I promise you, you've truly won nothing! And I will ensure you know that very soon!" Promised the snarling demonic Speedster as he would allow Barry a few days to bask in his victory and then take it from him in the most painful way possible!

And he couldn't wait to deliver such a painful blow! As it would simply be his greatest blow yet and ensure Barry Allen's fall!

Author's Notes: Ho! Hope you guys enjoyed this one! I likely coulda kept going but I felt that that was a good place to end this. I'll be sure to include Sara being rather surprised by Shado being alive in the next chapter. Which may or may not be the final one. R and R!
