Chapter 13 Summary: After the death of Captain Rip Hunter, Leonard Snart is left with the fate of time itself placed in his hands, and isn't sure how he can handle it. Amaya and Mick try to ease the awkwardness between them. And, when its all said and done, time will still stand... but will the earth?
Wow guys... I'm still not over killing off Rip. I seriously didn't want to, but out of all the characters, he felt like the most prominent for the self-sacrifice. However, as I have promised, his death will not be in vain!
But, with all of that said and done, I hope you guys enjoy the final chapter of the Vandal Savage-Saga! :D
Chapter 13: The Brave, The Bold, and The Legendary
Leonard sat in his new quarters, thinking to himself. He had moved into Rip's old room since he wanted to make sure that if any newbies were brought onto the Waverider, they would have room. Even if there were already three more bedrooms as it was.
The Leonard Snart that first stepped onto this Waverider was dead.
Now, all that remained was Captain Leonard Snart, leader of the Legends.
He was definitely a more open book. Not by much, but even a little went a long way when it came to Snart.
As of now, the Waverider's new captain was just... thinking.
Well, up until a soft voice called out "Hey."
His head slowly turned to the door, and there was Kendra.
"Can I come in?" Kendra asked.
Leonard nodded, scooted over on his bed, and Kendra sat down next to him.
"I'm sorry about what happened with Rip," she sighed. "He didn't deserve to die. But without him, Mick wouldn't be here. As bittersweet as that is."
Leonard let out a chuckle. "I just... really do not know how to handle this."
"Rip's death? Or being the captain of the Waverider?" Kendra asked.
"Both, really," Leonard sighed. Being open like this just... felt weird.
However, Kendra offered him a warm smile. "It'll get better. I know it will. I think I know better than anyone about losing someone close. Except for a few, like Ray and Sara."
"Laurel would've made an excellent Legend," Leonard said.
But he paused for a moment.
"I've worked out a way Sara can see Laurel," Leonard said. "Its just a visit, but its more than nothing. But don't tell her, I want it to be a surprise."
"Oh my god, you really are the most caring person ever," Kendra giggled, resting her head on Leonard's shoulder.
Leonard chuckled. Formerly, he had only cared for himself, Lisa, and Mick on occasion.
But now, he had a team to look after and care for.
And when Leonard Snart had something set on his mind, he didn't lose focus. And what he was set on was making sure his team felt at home on the Waverider, and also: killing Vandal Savage.
"Gideon, arrange for a team meeting in ten minutes," Leonard said.
"Of course, Captain," Gideon said.
"Are we gonna do it?" Kendra asked.
"Not all at once," Leonard said. "I saw something else in the Oculus. I'll tell everyone at the meeting."
With that, the captain and the hawk set off for the bridge.
"So..." Jax began, once the team had gathered, "Savage plans to detonate three meteors in three different time periods?"
"He wants to destroy the earth as we know it," Stein said. "Which is why we must stop him... obviously."
"I suggest we take squads," Floyd said. "If we count Firestorm as one, that's three per squad. We kill Savage in all three time periods, destroy all three meteors, bang, world's saved."
"But how do we know when to be picked up?" Rory asked.
"Jumpships, two of em are still here," Mick said. "We can travel through time without the Waverider with them."
"And that's how we take him down," Leonard said. "Now, I'll take Kendra and Floyd. Amaya, take Mick and Ray. Sara, you take Rory and Firestorm. Any questions?"
No one raised their hands.
"Good. Move out!" Leonard said.
However, as Mick moved past Amaya, she grabbed his arm.
"What?" Mick asked.
"I'm sorry," Amaya whispered. "About the kiss."
However, Mick only looked puzzled.
"I never said I didn't like it, so what do you have to be sorry for?" Mick asked. "Now, let's get going."
With that, Mick left the room.
And Amaya...
Oh, she was gonna have so much fun with this.
January 5th, 1862
Amaya, Mick, and Ray walked down the forest pathways of 1862, determination to kill Savage, avenge Rip, and destroy the meteor that could reverse the clock by about... a lot of years.
"So... how do we find Savage?" Ray asked. "We know he's here, but how-"
"Look for the blue glowing rock, then kill the guy kissing its ass," Mick grumbled.
"Very clear, thanks," Ray said, half-sarcastically.
"Pleasure," Mick replied.
"Guys, there he is," Amaya whispered.
And there he was indeed. Vandal Savage stood there, observing the meteor carefully. He then pulled out a vial of red liquid, which was actually the blood of Carter, and sprinkled it all over the meteor.
"HEY!" Mick yelled. "Old guy! Time for you to retire!"
"Oh boy," Savage chuckled. "You found me... so what? I'll kill you all."
"Not if we're your targets," Amaya taunted.
With that, Savage roared and charged at Amaya and Mick, while Ray moved behind the fighting group, trying to disarm the meteor.
However, Savage felt... off.
His fighting skills were not as good as they used to be, as Amaya and Mick were getting actual hits on him.
"What is happening?!" Savage yelled. "What have you all done?!"
"Guess you aren't caught up," Amaya growled.
"You all will pay! And if you wanted to kill me, you can't!" Savage yelled. "I am IMMORTAL!"
However, Mick only chuckled at Savage's statement.
"Amaya's right, you really haven't heard the news," Mick said.
"Guys!" Ray called. "I shrunk the meteor!"
As he said this, a small little poof of steam popped up, harmless. Savage growled, looking up at Mick, only to be met with flames of fury.
November 8th, 1943
In 1943, Savage was currently making a deal with the Nazis, one he planned to blow sky high once he got his hands on the meteor.
And that's what he did.
As soon as they demanded their money, he shot them all dead, before sprinkling Carter's blood onto the meteor.
"HEY!" a ragged, ghoulish voice called.
Savage's head whipped around, and there was Sara, Rory, and Firestorm.
"What're you lot gonna do? Kill me?!" Savage screamed sarcastically. "Oh no! I'm horrified!"
"Drop the act before we drop our fury on your ass," Firestorm said.
"Well-"
"TOO LATE!"
With that, Firestorm took off into the sky to destroy the meteor, while Rory and Sara advanced to deal with Savage.
"We need to transmute the molecular properties to shape the meteor into something harmless," Stein said from inside Jax's head.
"Good thinking Grey! Only problem is, I don't know how to do that, or what that is!" Firestorm exclaimed.
"You can do it, just concentrate your energy into shifting its molecular properties," Stein reassured.
"Okay, whatever you say..." Firestorm said, unsure of what would happen.
However, he trusted Stein.
So, with all of his power, Firestorm began to pour his energy into the meteor.
"Remember, Jefferson," Stein warned. "If this meteorite goes off-"
"Time blows up the world, I know Grey!" Firestorm yelled.
"We have the strength to achieve this!" Stein said. "We can do this Jefferson!"
"Yeah, we can!" Firestorm screamed.
More and more of Firestorm's energy was being poured into the meteor...
Finally, he let out one last roar.
And the meteor turned from a rock that could destroy time into a puddle that washed over his feet like nothing.
"Well done Jefferson! You did it!" Stein praised.
"Nah Grey, we did it!" Firestorm triumphantly said. Suddenly, he turned around, and it appeared that Rory and Sara were whooping Savage's ass like there was no tomorrow.
"Feel bad sweetie pie?" Sara taunted, wrapping her arm around Savage's neck.
"Don't drop down too fast," Rory's ghastly voice chuckled.
Savage only laughed.
"You can't kill me... not without Kendra..." he said.
"Well, it's not like she hasn't already," giggled Sara.
And with that, a loud snap echoed across the docks, as Vandal Savage dropped dead for the second time in history.
August 19th, 2015
Finally, in 2015, the captain, hawk, and marksman of the Legends were moving across ancient battlegrounds.
"So... this is where John Diggle trotted with his little posse consisting of Blondie, Katana gal, Sara's dead sister, and the Dark Archer just four weeks after I supposedly died?" Floyd asked, stepping on the rocky ground.
"Yep," Kendra said. "I do research as well Leo."
"I knew you did," Leonard said.
"Hey, that's him!" Kendra said, pointing at Savage, who was readying the meteor with Carter's blood.
"Is that a vial of blood?" Floyd asked. "I've seen some weird ass shit in my time, but damn, that's a whole new level."
"It's Carter's blood," Kendra seethed, blood boiling in her veins. "Its the only way he can make it work..."
"I'd say he just released the hawk from her cage," Leonard muttered.
As he said that, Kendra shot off like a hawk after its prey.
Leonard and Floyd just shrugged, figuring their cover was already blown, before running down to the meteor, while Kendra laid her wrath down on Savage.
"YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED CARTER! YOU KILLED RIP!" Kendra screamed, punching him with Carter's mace. "YOU WILL PAY YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD!"
"Really?" Savage taunted. "You haven't done such a good job in the past 4,000 years, and Carter only did worst, along with Rip!"
Kendra screamed, cried like a hawk, and punched Savage even harder.
It was time.
When he was down on the ground...
Kendra grabbed Aldus' knife, and drove it right through Savage's body.
He didn't die immediately... he felt every blade puncture.
"Feels bad doesn't it?!" Leonard yelled, running over and securing the blade with some ice.
"You still failed..." Savage smirked. "You failed Jonas... Miranda... Carter... Rip. You FAILED THEM ALL!"
Kendra roared, she had officially put up with this shit for 4,000 years, and was done with it.
She grabbed Savage, twirled a few times with his body swirling, and launched him into the air, Floyd firing some shots into his body, before it splashed into the stream adjoining the rocks.
"Huh, that went surprisingly well," Leonard said.
Suddenly, Kendra crashed into his arms, sobbing hysterically in joy.
"H-He's dead," Kendra said. "F-F-Final-lly..."
"And forever more," Leonard reassured her, wrapping his arms around her. Floyd smirked at the couple, noticing that the meteor was beginning to lose its power and become a harmless rock.
Suddenly, the two jumpships arrived, with the rest of the Legends running out and towards the already present ones.
"Stand back guys, I got this!" Firestorm said, moving to the meteor.
"Jax, it's dead," said Floyd. "Like our good ol buddy Savage."
"I don't care, I wanna try this," Firestorm said.
In a few moments, however, the meteor exploded.
Into a stack of jelly beans.
"Jelly beans, anyone?" Jax asked, splitting with Stein. Everyone laughed, and Kendra went off into a corner with Leonard, still hugging, but crying a little less.
"Thank you so much," Kendra whispered. "Captain."
"No problem," Leonard said. "Anything for a Legend."
Captain...
He could get used to that.
October 26th, 2016
Mayor Oliver Queen had a lot on his plate as of late, but not as much as it would've been without D.A. Chase. He was a really good friend, not just in office, but the two had been out for a drink or two in the mere week that they had known each other.
Speaking of Chase, he came wandering into Oliver's office right then.
"Mr. Mayor, good to see you this morning," Adrian smiled.
"It's Oliver, Adrian," Oliver chuckled. "How are ya buddy?"
"Doing alright, Doris has been sick, but she wouldn't let me stay until she got better," Adrian chuckled.
"Well, she's got that Chase determination in her," Oliver said.
"Oh, also, there's a woman at the front desk claiming she knows you," Adrian said. "Goes by... Tatsu Yamashiro. She also has a man with her, and he says he's her 'apprentice'."
Oliver smiled, remembering Tatsu vividly. Sure, it was a sad smile, but he couldn't deny that she was always a great friend. But this "apprentice"... he was pretty sure he didn't know him.
"Put her through, and her apprentice too," Oliver said.
"Right on it," Adrian said, before walking out. He returned moments later, with Tatsu and the unidentified man.
"You've been busy, Mr. Mayor," Tatsu said, smiling.
"C'mere Tatsu," Oliver said, hugging his old friend. Surprisingly, she hugged back... and tightly too.
"Thank you for letting me in, I feared our last encounter wasn't the best," Tatsu said, sadly thinking about when she drove that sword through Maseo's heart.
"It's alright," Oliver said. "And uh... who's this 'apprentice' of yours?"
"Dr. Nathaniel Haywood," Tatsu said.
"Dr. Nathaniel Haywood, at your service, Mr. Mayor," Nate said, reaching out his hand to shake Oliver's, which he did. "But... you already knew my name, because she-"
"You remind me of someone," Oliver chuckled. "But, I assume this isn't just a friendly everyday visit?"
"Not at all sir," Nate said. "In fact, it's much worst."
"Well, I've got time," sighed Oliver, sitting down. "What is it?"
"Things have started to change in the history books, and there is a man popping up called 'Chronos'," Tatsu explained. "While only fifteen things seem to be altered from what I can tell, it is still dangerous enough to need to contact someone."
"And... how could I help exactly?" Oliver asked.
"Contact the Legends," Nate said.
"Um... excuse me?" Oliver asked.
"Leonard Snart, Ray Palmer, Sara Lance, all of them," Nate said. "Because if what Chronos has done is real, we're gonna need to fix a few things in time."
And with that, we conclude Season 1 of Legends! Now, onto Season 2, starting in two weeks! Stay tuned guys, more Coldhawk, Atomicanary, Vixenwave, and Legends are on their ways!
Thanks for reading, hope to see you soon! :)
