Hey, everybody. Back with another chapter.

So, we've gotten to the final battle. I hope you guys have liked this story, and are excited for this.

Let's get to it.


Chapter 7- Bringing Down Satana

Nate tightens a bolt, then stands up from his spot. "Gideon? How are we looking?" he asks.

"Repairs are almost finished. I estimate we will be back to full operating capacity in about half an hour," Gideon says.

"Excellent," Nate says happily.

He turns around to heard towards the bridge, and sees Snart approaching.

"Hey, Snart," he says.

Snart looks at him, then asks, "Who exactly are you again? We haven't been introduced."

"I'm Nate Heywood, codename Steel. I'm the new Captain," he responds.

"What happened to Hunter?" Snart asks.

"He sacrificed himself to stop an ancient time demon from killing us," Nate says.

Snart nods slowly, then asks, "So, you took over?"

"Not exactly. See, we actually lost him not long after you were presumed dead. After we lost him, Sara Lance took over as Captain. Even after we got Captain Hunter back, she remained Captain, and stayed Captain until a few months ago," Nate explains.

As Nate says this, he can see Snart's face get the tiniest bit lighter. So little he hardly notices it.

"Sara," he says lightly, then asks, "Wait, if she was Captain, what happened to her? Why isn't she here?"

Nate looks at Snart for a few moments, then sighs, knowing that this was going to have to happen eventually.

"Umm, Snart. Why don't you come sit down with me? There's something I need to discuss with you," he says.

Snart looks at him suspiciously, but complies and follows Nate into the mess hall, which is just a few feet away. They head over to the table and sit down.

"What's going on, Heywood?" Snart asks.

Nate breathes a sigh, then says, "Snart…a little over a year ago, on another Earth, an alien warlord named Thanos wiped out half of all life in the multiverse. Because of that, we got stuck in the time stream for almost a year. Eventually, after a year, the Flash and his allies reversed it, and we came to help them kill Thanos. During that battle…we ran into a team of heroes from the future who were helping us. One was a young man with ice powers, who called himself Iceman. We found out after the battle that his real name was Robert Snart. We found out later that he was born four years ago. Sara's his mother…and you're his father."

Snart is frozen for a little while, stunned into silence. It takes a few moments before he manages to respond, "Wait…mine and Sara's son?"

"Yes," Nate responds.

Snart is quiet for a few more moments, then says, "That night. In the Waverider at the Vanishing Point."

"Yeah. That's what Sara thought. She told us that when she found out she was pregnant, she took the jumpship to 2014, spent her pregnancy with a friend, and give birth to a son she named Robert. She left Robert with her friend, and returned to the team. After she met the future Robert during the battle with Thanos, she decided she had stayed away from him long enough, and so she left the team, leaving me as Captain, and returned to Central City to go back to Robert," Nate says.

Snart is just quiet. After a few moments, Nate says, "I'll leave you to your thoughts. I gotta get back to work. After we finish dealing with Satana…then we can take you wherever you want to go if you don't want to stay with the team." He then stands up and walks out of the room, leaving Snart to his thoughts.

Half an hour later, the entire team has gathered on the bridge. "Alright, everyone. I think we're done with repairs. Gideon, how're we looking?" Nate asks.

"Repairs are complete. All systems are back up and running," Gideon responds.

"Awesome. Have you detected any sign of Satana?" Nate asks.

"Not yet," Gideon responds. Then, a split second later, she says, "Wait. I am detecting a time quake originating in 1812. A mass of temporal energy has been detected."

"Satana. She's initiating the ritual to free Mephisto," Hellstrom mutters.

Nate nods. "Alright. Everybody strap in. Once we get there, we do whatever it takes to stop Satana. And, if it comes it and Mephisto gets free, Loki and Snart will focus on Satana, and the rest of us will take on Mephisto," he orders.

Everyone nods as they make their way to their seats and strap in. Nate sits in the Captain's chair, and shoves the lever forward, sending the Waverider on a course for 1812.


(1812)

Satana laughs to herself as she continues her spell. It will not be much longer until Mpehisto is free.

As she continues her spellwork, a small portal opens a few yards away. It's very tiny at first, but slowly grows.

Suddenly, a blast of cold energy hits her from behind. Tumbling through the air, she turns around and sees all of the Legends assembled behind her. Mick and Snart are both aiming their guns at her, and everyone else is ready to fight.

Satana glares at them. "You dare try to stop me? It is too late! The process has already begun. Nothing can stop it! Mephisto will soon…"

"Bored now!" Snart interrupts before blasting her with his cold gun, knocking her flying again.

"Keep her occupied! I need to figure out a way to stop the spell," Hellstrom says urgently.

The entire team rushes towards Satana. Ray fires his compressed light beams as Firestorm throws a fireball at her. Satana responds with a blast of soulfire. The three attacks all meet, causing a huge explosion.

Nate charges through the smoke cloud, ready to attack Satana. However, Satana grabs his fist as he throws punch, then throws him aside.

As Nora tries using her magic to restrain Satana, Hellstrom hurries over to the widening portal. Using his own dark magic, he starts trying to identify the spells Satana has used and how to stop the spell. To his horror, he realizes that the spell is advancing faster than he can counter.

Suddenly, Mona goes flying past him. He turns around, and sees Loki diving aside to avoid a blast of soulfire from Satana. Recognizing he doesn't have much time, Hellstrom starts working, trying to slow it down, even though he feels certain it's futile.

Mick and Snart both fire their guns at Satana. She raises an energy shield around herself, blocking the beams. Ray then flies right at her, shrunk down, to attack her. However, she lowers the shield and lunges for him, grabbing him. She then mutters a spell, and the spell sucks the power out of Ray's suit. She lets him go, and he falls to the ground, completely out of power.

Nora releases a powerful telekintetic wave at Satana as Zari unleashes a gale force wind at her using her totem. Satana is unable to raise a shield in time. However, she tries her best to stand her ground, and is able to stay mostly in place.

Nate charges at her from the side, landing a punch that knocks Satana flying. However, she rights herself in midair and sends more soulfire at Nate, who just manages to avoid it.

"Nora!" Hellstrom yells. Nora immediately rushes over to him.

"I can't stop the spell on my own. Please, if you can, try to use your magic to slow the growth of the portal. If it doesn't stop growing, Mephisto will escape," Hellstrom says.

"I don't know. I'll try," Nora says. She closes her eyes, concentrating. She then starts using her magic to try and slow down the portal.

Meanwhile, Satana dodges a beam fired by Snart and tries using her hypnotic powers, but before she can, Loki throws a dagger right at her, forcing her to dodge aside. She faces Loki, only to have to start weaving around the sky as Loki starts using telekinesis to throw various rocks and debris scattered around the clearing at her.

"You may be the God of Mischief, Loki. But I'm the daughter of the devil himself. You think you're skilled at sorcery? Your knowledge of sorcery is small compared to mine!" she screams before conjuring a thicket of spears out of nowhere and sending them flying at Loki. Loki deftly avoids the spears, though several come very close.

"Mick! Lay down some cover fire!" Loki says. Mick raises his heat gun and fires it, forcing Satana to fly up to avoid the flames.

Loki rushes towards Satana. Satana glares at Loki and uses a spell to bring a tree down into Loki's path. However, Loki ducks back to avoid getting cursed, then leaps over the tree. He throws two daggers at her at close range, but she dodges them easily.

Satana glares down at Loki. "Die, Asgardian!" she growls before unleashing a powerful stream of soulfire. However, to her shock, the soulfire passes right through Loki.

Satana is frozen in shock and confusion. Then, suddenly, she feels the blade of a dagger stab into her back, and Loki's voice say into her ear, "I'm technically not Asgardian. And since you stabbed Charlie in the back, I thought it fair I do the same."

Satana whips around and backhands Loki, knocking him back. However, before she can do anything else, Firestorm throws a fireball at her, knocking her down. Then, Firestorm picks up Nate, flies him up, then drops him. He falls down right at her, slamming into her fists first, and knocking her down into the ground, creating a small crater around her and knocking Satana out cold.

The team stares down at her. "Well. We got her," Loki says.

"S***!"

Everyone turns towards Hellstrom, who had said that. The portal has grown, and both Hellstrom and Nora are starting to look worried.

"What's going on?" Nate asks.

"It's growing!" Hellstrom says desperately.

The portal grows even more. Then, slowly, a shape starts to take shape in the midst of the terrible.

Slowly, it becomes clearer, and a terrifying face becomes clear. A demonic red face, with black spiky hair, and sharp teeth, with glowing red eyes.

"Mephisto," Hellstrom says in a low voice.

Mephisto, laughs, a chilling sound. "My bonds are breaking. Satana has done her job. Now, my time is at hand," he says.

"Not on my watch, Mephisto," Hellstrom responds. Then, he orders the team, "Hit him!"

Zari unleashes a fierce blast of wind with her totem. Nora sends a powerful telekinetic wave at him. Loki conjures daggers to throw at Mephisto. Firestorm unleashes the most powerful blast he can at him. And both Snart and Mick fire their guns at him.

Mpehisto laughs as he withstands the attacks. "You cannot harm me that easily!" he says.

"Then how about I help them?" Hellstrom says before pointing his trident at Mephisto and unleashing the most powerful blast of soulfire he can. The blast strikes Mephisto in the chest.

The demon growls a bit as the soulfire forces him back a little bit. "Your power is not enough to defeat me, Hellstrom," he says with a growl.

"But it is enough to keep you at bay just long enough," Hellstrom says. His eyes start to glow, the flames on his body grow in intensity, and his trident starts to burn and glow with greater intensity. Then, with everything he can muster, Hellstrom throws his trident at Mephisto.

The trident hits Mephisto in the chest, releasing a massive burst of energy. Mephisto bellows in anger as he forced back into the portal, and disappears from sight.

"Nate! Quick! Grab Satana's time stone!" he says as the trident flies back into his hand. He then begins spinning it, creating a circle of energy in the air.

Nate runs towards where Satana's time stone is resting. He grabs it and runs it back to Hellstrom, thrusting it into his hand.

"Nora! Lend me your magic!" Hellstrom yells, holding out his hand holding the stone. Nora runs to him and grabs hold of his hand, concentrating hard on her power.

Slowly, the energy conjured by the trident grows in intensity. Then, it shoots forward, hitting the portal. Within moments, the portal shrinks, and finally disappears from sight.

Hellstrom lowers his trident, and both he and Nora collapse to their knees, exhausted from the effort.

Silence falls over the clearing. After a few moments, Nate asks, "Is that it? Did we win?"

"For now," Hellstrom says kind of breathlessly, "But I could not restore all the bonds on Mephisto. It may be in a month, or in a hundred years. But, there will come a time where he may be able to escape. We'll have to keep an eye out for him."

Quiet falls again for a minute before Nate says, "Well, we've won for now. We'll try and figure out how to keep Mephisto at bay for good. But, I think this is a victory. We've taken down Satana, and kept Mephisto from getting out. I'd say this is good day's work."


And, I'll end there.

I hope I did this chapter well. I decided to get the battle and Snart learning about Robert in one chapter.

So, next chapter will wrap this story up. I hope you guys are excited for it. It'll be up tomorrow. Until then, leave a review, and stay tuned!
