I'm back and I'm uploading today so you all can know I survived Dec. 21st as well lol. Now that we've gotten that nonsense out of the way, lets get back to Black star Rising.
I DO NOT OWN THE CHARCTERS INVOLVED IN THIS FANFIC. THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.
Ch.26 D-Day
"I don't know how you survived Mystique, but you'll regret coming here. You should've gone off and hidden away like a good little rat." Blackfire told her.
"I'm afraid we have unsettled business. What you do to the world is your own business, but when you force me to do your dirty work, then you've got another coming." Mystique growled.
Mystique rushed in and ducked under Blackfire's red bolts surprising the woman and quickly landed an uppercut. She followed with a swift kick to Blackfire's gut knocking her back. Blackfire growled as she clasped her hands together and created a massive tension of energy. She then aimed for Mystique and let loose a massive beam in her direction. Mystique immediately dodged and rolled to the right as the red beam passed by her. The beam erupted out of the side of the ship causing Ryo-ohki to roar in pain.
"What? No shapeshifting today?" Blackfire taunted the mutant.
"I don't need to change form to beat you. I'm strong enough already." Mystique proclaimed.
"Hey Mystique I'm real happy for you and I'm going to let you finish but.."
"I said shut it. If you're not going to do anything useful, then just be quiet." Mystique warned Deadpool.
"Fine then, I want tell you how to beat Blackfire then." Deadpool said as he folded his arms across his chest, and looked off to his left.
"Oh, please like you would actually have any clue as to how to beat her." Mystique retorted as she kept her eyes on the aforementioned woman.
"Sure I do, but if you don't think it's important, then forget I said anything." Deadpool said.
Blackfire didn't give them any more time to formulate a counter strategy as she flew in and grabbed Mystique and slammed her into a wall, before tossing her in Deadpool's direction. Deadpool caught Mystique.
"Woah, you're not as light as you look." He commented.
Mystique let out a frustrated groan before they were both hit by Blackfire's starbolt and knocked into a wall.
Deadpool groaned. "Did anyone get the license plate of the starbolt that hit me?" he said before passing out.
Blackfire walked over to their unconscious forms. She reached down and grabbed Mystique by her collar. "You always did talk bigger than you fought." Blackfire said before raising her right hand and charging it.
However just before she could strike Mystique came to and quickly punched Blackfire in the face, causing her to release her grip. Mystique then grabbed the Jewel of Charta and the necklace responded by releasing a torrent of energy onto Mystique. Mystique didn't relinquish her grip as she ripped the necklace from Blackfire and crushed it. A shockwave of energy knocked them both backwards, making them stumble a bit.
"You destroyed it. You destroyed my precious jewel!" Blackfire roared.
"Awww is the little baby going to cry now?" Mystique said mocking her.

Back on the ground Team possible was having a hard time dealing with Fin Fang Foom. Kim dodged out of the way as he slammed his down into the pavement. Acting quickly the red-head ran up his hand as he lifted it from the ground, and tried to cut through his thick scales.
"It's no use, his scales are too thick." She said. 'But maybe if I turn it up a little more."
Kim flared up her white plasma, and began to slashing away at the giant dragon's arm. Slowly but surely her plasma sharpened blades were wearing away at Foom's scales. Foom could feel his arm beginning to go numb, but that's all he would feel as he blew Kim off his arm. The red head was falling back down into the streets but she was quickly saved by Shego.
"You ok princess?" Shego asked, her plasma dancing around their forms.
"Yea thanks Shego." Kim responded.
They both looked up as Foom's shadow fell over them. Shego let loose a stream of plasma that collided against Foom's left hand. Foom easily over powered the plasma and brough his hand down, but Kim pulled Shego to safety.
"Shit does he have any weaknesses?" Shego growled.
"Everything has a weakness Shego, we just have to find it." Kim said.
On top of another building Tiara had Foom in her crosshairs, as Jacob readied his weapons. "Do you honestly believe you can injure that thing?" Jacob asked.
"No I don't. However I do believe that its eye isn't as strong as its scales." She answered.
She had her finger wrapped around the trigger, but before she could pull it, Foom turned his sights towards her and Jacob. He shot a concussive blast of fire that smashed into the side of the building. Tiara and Jacob avoided the collision as the blast began to quickly eat away at its structure. Thinking quickly Jacob grabbed Tiara and jumped onto the roof of a nearby building.
"You saved me." Tiara said.
"Consider us even." He said.
Fin Fang Foom was about to rid himself of the two nuisances when a missile slammed into the side of his head. Growling he turned to see the Go Jet closing in.
"Hego, we have a lock." The Wego's said.
"Good fire on my mark." Hego responded.
They flew directly for the giant dragon, and readied their next missile as Foom prepared to counterattack.
"Hego, we're getting a little close don't you think?" Mego asked with nervousness becoming more apparent.
Hego said nothing as he steered the jet towards Foom, who opened his mouth.
"Oh God he's going to eat us!" Mego panicked. His expression grew worse when he saw that fire was building up in his throat and was preparing to shoot the flames at the incoming jet.
"Prepare to fire." Hego said as they grew closer, the Wego's nodded in agreement to the order.
"Target is less than ten yards away." One of the twins said.
"Just fire the damn thing already!" Mego screamed.
"Five yards and closing." The other twin said.
"Fire cruise missile!" Hego ordered.
Foom was done concentrating his fire attack and was about to shoot when the missile launched at him and detonated in his mouth. The impact rocked the city as Foom was knocked back onto some buildings.
Shego smiled at the sight of Foom's defeat. "One down." She said.
"Not exactly." Kim said correcting her. Kim flared up and combined her abilities to get a good look at him. "He's….healing." She said. Kim watched as his scars and wounds began to quickly close and it wasn't long before the dragon was up on his feet again. He roared as he fixated his gaze on the Go Jet. He shot fire at it and Team Go managed to barely dodged suffering damage to the jet's right wing.
Kim and Shego watched as Team Go's jet made an emergency landing in the streets below. "Wade, tell me you have the gate up and running." Kim said over the comm. link.
"Almost Kim, we need you to hold out just a little bit longer." Wade said. "Reinforcements are en route to your location. I'll be sending Ron with the reinforcements."
"We'll just have to keep him busy until then." Kim said.
Shego sighed. "If we survive that long."
"That's oddly pessimistic of you." Kim said.
"After all the shit we've been through, I deserve to be." She quipped.

Deadpool awoke from his unconsciousness to see Blackfire and Mystique still fighting. Mystique reached down and quickly pulled out a hidden blade from her boot. The blade glistened as the light from the ship hit it.
A trickle of blood leaked from Blackfire's mouth, as she smiled at the mutant. "You don't think that after coming so far, I'd let you intervene did you?" She said as her fists glowed. "I don't need this ship you fools, it has more than served its purpose." She said with an evil grin.
She raised her hands into the air, but before she could make her next move she was stopped by Ryoko who grabbed both her hands.
"You! What are you doing? Let go of me." She said.
"You can blow yourself up for all I care, but you will not, and I repeat will NOT take Ryo-ohki with you!" Ryoko growled.
"You damned fool, I said let go of me!" Blackfire growled back.
Mystique took this momentary distraction as her chance to kill two birds with one stone. The dagger which was not only made from adamantium, but laced with poison gripped tightly in her hand she charged forward.
"Finish Them!" Deadpool shouted trying to sound like Shao Khan from Mortal Kombat.
Deadpool's outburst was noticed by Ryoko who quickly disappeared, leaving a shocked Blackfire wide open. Unable to react in time, Mystique slammed into Blackfire and drove her into the wall. The adamantium blade went clean through Blackfire's armor and into her gut. Blackfire cried out, as she tried to remove the poison blade.
"Does it hurt? Good." Mystique said.
Unfortunately for Mystique Ryoko reappeared and grabbed her from behind, pulling her away from Blackfire. Blackfire quickly removed the dagger as she clutched her wound, quickly feeling the effects of the poison.
"Damn you…Mystique!" She cursed.
Ryoko squeezed tighter preparing to snap the woman in two. Reacting quickly Deadpool snapped his guns up and aimed at Ryoko. "I got it!" He said.

JLA Watchtower
Ron was walking down the halls, passing by whatever superhero or heroine that was still at the watchtower. He could not wait any longer, his friends were in danger, out there fighting for their lives while he sat on the sidelines. He wouldn't sit around and wait for Wade and the others to open up the gate, he had to help his team.
Ron turned the corner that led to the watchtower's hangar. He had no clue how to fly their aircraft, but he was sure that there was someone there who did. Upon entering the hangar he was greeted not by a JLA member, but by a girl in a black kimono adorned with floral patterns.
"Who…are you?" Ron asked the girl.
"My name is Ai." She replied.
Sorry for the long downtime, I was kidnapped by my family and friends and pulled away from typing for a while. Also I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and hopefully a happy New Years. So don't forget to leave a comment with your thoughts as I try to close this story in hopefully five chapters.
Oh, for my Midoriichi readers, Midoriichi NG will be slow on the updates as I work to close out this story, but do not fear it will return shortly with a new chapter by New Years.
