Author's Note: We're coming close to an end and I'm dreading to write the next chapter...I've also decided that this series of mine will be a trilogy ^^ so I'm super excited for that! Let's get going!
Summary: Knowing that the gang needs to save Wally, the group goes to the place where he died. Meanwhile, the Beta team discovers Radon.
Chapter 17: Rescue
Aqualad frowned as he typed away on the keyboard.
This doesn't make any sense. Apparently, there were activities going on at the Arctic which there shouldn't.
There shouldn't be at all...
Kal'dur made a disturbed look as he stared at the blinking red dot that was on the screen.
:(/\):
A ship whirred down as it landed on the ground then died down, indicating that it was powering off.
The entrance of the door slid open to reveal two people. There should've been three but that person wasn't there.
The place was cold and had an unwelcomed aura. It was creepy as well, having no life, completely devoid.
"Isn't this inviting?" Bart said, eyes wide as he blinked, staring at the view ahead.
"Er, sure I guess..." Bumblebee answered.
Another silence came as they took this time time to study the unfamiliar area.
"Well, I guess if we want answers, we better start walking." the female responded.
Impulse nodded mutely and the two walked inside the ominous cave.
As they walked in, little did they know that something was watching them from behind a corner...
:(/\):
Tigress took a deep breath as she stared at the vortex ahead. It was frighteningly exciting and she couldn't take her eyes away.
She took a deep breath and started to make a step forward until a voice came, halting her.
"Its tempting, isn't it?"
Artemtis turned around and saw Aqualad.
"Aqualad..." she opened her mouth and closed it only to open it again. "You shouldn't be here. This is something what I have to do alone."
He shook his head in understanding. "I know the feeling. But this time, you don't have to do this alone...you have us." Aqualad took a step to the side to reveal the rest of the team.
"Because we're here. We're doing this together."
The team nodded with agreement and Tigress landed her eyes on Barry, hope rising in her eyes.
"Hey, there." he gave a crooked grin.
:(/\):
Footsteps echoed within the cave with every step as they took.
It seemed as though it took forever since they had found nothing. No trace of that element.
Did it even exist?
This started to frustrate Bee and Bart but they knew it took time. From behind the corner, the figure still had it's beady eyes staring at the two.
It continued to follow them until Bumblebee had this sinking feeling that somebody or someone was following them.
Bumblebee still had that unnerving feeling ever since she had entered this...cave.
As they went a little further, Bumblebee stopped as that something started to attack.
"What is it?" Bart asked as she turned around.
"Impulse look out!"
Upon his name, Kid Flash turned around to see something lunging at him. With little time to react, he was forced to fly backwards and landed with a hard thud from the impact.
Bumblebee turned her head to the strange alien, getting her weapons ready; yellow electricity crackling.
She brought both of them together forwards to release full power. The attack zapped the creature but instead of burning it to dust, it only smoked.
"We need a stronger power. A big attack that is enough to blow this into bits." Bumblebee said as Bart joined her.
He took a look at his surroundings and saw the sides of the wall and that gave him an idea.
"I got an idea. You think you can produce vast amount of energy?"
She nodded.
"Good. Then on my signal. You will know."
With that, Bart started to use the sides of the walls, running in circles. The girl narrowed her eyes, watching her friend that was producing electricity.
The more she focused on the scarlet speedster, it seemed as though that everything around her was slowing until she managed to see Impulse.
She widened her eyes, realizing that the time is now. Bumblebee proceeded to fly towards him from above.
She floated for a few minutes before carefully going into the eye of the running scarlet. A spark of the red streak of electricity came and Bumblebee used one of the weapons to obtain.
After the two made contact, Bumblebee started to glow a yellow contact due to the electricity. She then threw her other free hand, using her other weapon.
The electricity ran through her like a river; from one side to the side until she could throw the power at the creature.
The creature got a painful zap, shrieking in pain as its skin was burning.
It shrieked until he exploded into pieces. But because there was too much power, both of the fighters flew backwards. Both of them grunted when they harshly landed on the ground from the impact.
"D'ohhh..." Bart groaned. "That's it. No more big explosives for me." he muttered, dazed.
Bumblebee pulled herself to the knees, placing one hand at the side of her forehead. Shaking a little, she lifted her head up only to gasp.
"Kid Flash, look!" she exclaimed.
Bart, who was still on the floor, turned around and gasped.
There in front of them, was the red element...
Author's Note: Woahh! They found it! Darkseid, be prepared. What will happen next? Find out!
