Death Blazer
Disclaimer: Started thinking of guest reviewer's 'Red Death' and 'Dark Hellblazer' ideas and came up with this mash-up of the two. Hopefully he or she likes it and despite the fact I've said twice now that I'm not accepting prompts right now due to their numerous idea sends, I'm going back on that as it seems pointless to keep saying it. Just know I am under no obligation to actually do any of the ideas so don't get disappointed if I don't. Don't think my laptop's decreasing memory space would be able to handle it as it is. And that 'Plan B' is essentially already a done deal with what I did in 'A Different Shade Of Green' so no need for another version. Although… I do rather like that 'Mother From Earth-2' idea.
Summary: After years of loss and the ever strenghtening darkness within him thanks to the influence of the Khushu Idol, Oliver Queen finally snaps. And more then one person pays the price.
2031 The Bunker In Star City
"Look, Oliver, I can't do what you want, I'm sorry. You're not a Speedster and even with the magics, I don't think your body couldn't handle the Speed Force. I wouldn't even know how to give you that to begin with! Plus, I've been expressly forbibben from time travel by the Speed Force so I couldn't take you back in to the past even If I wanted too." Which Barry didn't as who knows how his ever darkening friend and mentor's influence would effect the past and therefore, the future.
Unfortunately for him, this was not the right answer Oliver wanted to hear and it showed in his expression. An expression that made Barry take a few steps back in a very nervous fashion. "Then find a way to get me access, Barry." Oliver told him dangerously and the tone made the Speedster even more nervous.
For he needed it go back and prevent that little bastard Grant Wilson from destroying his team and his city. Actions that got him slowly taken apart until he mercifully took his life from him using his magics. And even then, he felt the bastard hadn't deserved it in any form. This had been another example of why some considered him to be the Darker version of a Hellblazer in comparison to John Constantine. Who was probably more afraid of Oliver then what he was of Damien Darhk as his friend had pretty much allowed the Khushu Idol to over take him to a certain degree. Only reason it hadn't fully taken over is cause the archer had forced Reiter to show him what he needed to do in order to avoid that as he liked being in control thank you very much. And then soundly and messily killed him since the man had ruthlessly shot Taiana in the head right before she could take possession of the Idol from Oliver in order to keep it from Reiter.
"S-Sorry, Oliver, but I can't do that. Messing with the past could cause all kinds of problems!"
"Or it could make everything so much better." Came the reply with narrowed eyes as the one arm man stepped forward.
Barry honestly was pretty certain he'd never felt more nervous and frightened in his life time until now. "Ma-Maybe, but I can't risk that."
Especially with how good things were going for him right now and his team in Central. "Is that a fact?"
"Yeah. I'm, I'm sorry, Oliver. But if you ever need someone to talk with, I'm a phone call away."
As he made to make his leave before Oliver got well and truly pissed off with him, he found himself unable to move and being raised into the air. "What the Hell!?"
"You will know Hell soon enough, Barry! If you won't give me what I want willingly, I'll take it by FORCE!" Angrily declared Oliver as his eyes turned white and the Khushu Idol began to glow as he took steps until he was close enough to Barry to place a hand on his chest.
Which made the Speedster begin to struggle even more to try and free himself but to no avail much to his growing horror. "O-Oliver!? What the Hell are you doing!?"
"TAKING YOUR POWER FOR MY OWN!"
Chanting in an archaic language could be heard from the man who had lost a lot in his life since getting on to the Queen's Gambit way back in 2007 in order to avoid Laurel. Who was, despite his efforts at the time, unable to avoid being murdered by Damien Darhk in the Iron Heights Prison break out he'd orchestrated. The man had arrived in Star with the intention of not only destroying it, but gaining the Khushu Idol for himself as it would amplify his own magical abilities. Something Oliver had no intention of letting happen as it was his and no one else's. Even having used it at one point to make a point to Thea that drug use would not be tolerated anymore and the burnt mark he'd left on her upper arm with his hand was still there to this day. Which had been a reason she decided to get the Hell out of dodge years ago when Roy had to fake his death in a public way in order to get away from an insane stalker who was a Meta-Human.
And despite his best efforts, he hadn't been able to find either of the two and privately had the suspicion that an ally of his was aiding in that. Though who that was, he wasn't entirely certain of. As he took Barry's power for his own, something he wasn't expecting to happen as Barry and his suit began to even be absorbed into him thanks to the mismash of different magics, Speed Force energy, and Science mixing together into a combination never before seen. "STOP! AHH! YOU'RE K-KILLING ME!" Screamed out Barry in horror as dark shades reds and greens could be seen swirling around Oliver as he coninued to absorb him.
"If I am, THEN SO BE IT! FOR I WILL NOT BE DENIED!"
Loud agonizing screaming could be heard from the Speedster known as Barry Allen. His last thoughts being of friends and family back home. Of his twin children known as Henry and Nora that he'd had with Iris. Something that had resulted in her death after the two were born as it had all been too much for her body to handle. Of Joe and Wally, Cisco and Cynthia, Harry and Jesse Wells, Linda, Patty, the Captain, so many he'd known but most importantly, Caitlin Snow. Someone he'd been growing even more close too in the last 3 years and it looked like it was becoming something more. Or at least it was… I'm sorry, I'm so sorry guys… Especially to my children, whom I love more then anything…
Bright light surged through out the wrecked Bunker and Barry's screaming could be heard. "OLIVERRR!"
His anguished scream soon faded away as did the bright light. Leaving a glowing Oliver Queen behind as the Khushu Idol merged with him as well due to the unexpected side effects having occurred. Making him even deadlier if it were possible. Dark laughter began to emanate from him as dark colored arcs of green and red electricity surged all around him. His arm was even re-growing as his clothing began to change and his body grew slightly larger due to expanded muscles. The outfit he was now wearing looked like demonic armor with jagged spikes on his boots, gauntlets, and shoulders. His mask looked more like Slade's Deathstroke piece with glowing green eyes and red colored lightning being seen. His outfit was a dark green with dark glowing red on various parts of it. "HA HA HA HA HA! I AM POWER INCARNATE! I AM THE DEATH BLAZER AND I SHALL BRING THIS CITY AND THE WORLD ITSELF TO ITS KNEES!" And then… He would journey into the past to shape things to his way of liking so that he could rule it without opposition.
A bow made out of red and green electricity, along with a quiver of arrows materialized onto his body and into his newly re-grown arm's hand. Holding it up, he smirked behind the mask he now wore and if one could see the smirk, they would wet themselves. "I am sure my mother would appreciate my cleaning this city up. And if she doesn't? I can always take her power as mayor for myself."
Her life would be his to do with as he pleased as well. Letting out a menacing chuckle, he sped off to begin his work of taking out the trash this city had. A city he'd been trying years to save but could never quite achieve it much to his growing anger. But now, now he could do it with nothing to stop him and it was glorious!
Author's Notes: Think Skyrim's Deadra armor to a degree with the look I gave him. May you all have enjoyed or not have enjoyed. Maybe even drop a review for 'Mugwumpin' In Blue Valley' too perhaps?
