Hello! Much love to everyone still readin this. But first something super important! This message is circulating though the site. Copy it and pass it on though PM and your own fics if you have a ffnet account to show support. The time has long passed but I feel it is important to leave it as a record of why this story was heavily edited on FFnet and moved in it's entirety here (like my other stories). Many readers here are already familiar with their rule changes; this is for those who aren't. If it violates adult-fanfiction.org rules I will remove it as it isn't relevant anymore.
On June 23 (According to GTM timing) there will be a BLACK OUT!
Fanfiction.net is planning on taking down stories. I do not know the specifics but anything over M rated stories will be taken down. It could be yours or one of your favorites, so don't let it happen.
FIGHT THE POWER!
On June 23 DO NOT enter the fanfiction.net site; do not log in, read, or review anything until June 23 is over. Please take part in this and spread the word, for how are we supposed to unleash our imaginations if we are restricted! This site depends on visitors in order to function. As far as I know, it is funded entirely by advertisements THAT WE SEE AND RESPOND TO! Ever notice how they change depending on what you stories you click or search for?
Seriously, how hard is it to require registration or age verification to view certain material on this site?!
Thank you for reading this short rambling and please spread the word and take part in the black out on JUNE 23.
SAVE THE STORIES!
Once again, the above is the reason I have backed up all of my stories here.
Ahem...now on with the fic. This chapter will contain another fight scene. Basically the Cave becomes an arena cage match. Roy/Sagittarius being more of a bastard and the twins do something...surprising.
Also, this is one of the few songs I know for sure can be definitely be linked to a horrible event that was in the media. It sounds all nice and peppy but listen to the words—it’s about a very real, very disturbed individual. I’m using it here because JUST THIS PART fits my story. Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People is our header.
Plot and anything you don't recognize, mine. Everything else belongs to their respective creators/writers/artists. There are too many to list. Just know I make no profit off of this and shut up about it...m'kay?
Chapter 6
Pumped Up Kicks
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, out run my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, out run my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
"Hiya losers."
"Why did you come here you bastard?" Robin snarled. He was ready to kill. His fists clenched until he felt his nails draw blood from his palm. How dare he just show up like he hadn’t tried to murder them an hour ago?!
Sylphine and Gabriel ran behind the wall of fighters
“Killing several birds with one stone. I knew those brats would run to you for help. I just figured I'd get to see the old gang one last time. It would be too easy to pick you off one by one, as our last encounter demonstrated." He shrugged as he calmly walked into the cave. "I thought it might be a nice gesture if I told you why you have to die before I take your lives.”
“This better be good. You pretended to be our friend before you stabbed us all in the back not once but twice. Old gang my ass!” Artemis yelled. “At least we all came clean with our secrets!”
“Did you? Did you really? No, and neither have your so called mentors. Black Canary, the tin man, and the Bat in the med-bay know exactly what I’m talking about.”
“You understand--” Canary began.
“How could they when you won’t, I dunno, talk to them? They’ve been watching you like hawks because they want to make sure they can stop you should you go off the deep end. “To summarize, Robin’s a psycho in the making. Kid Flash is being possessed by the Speed Force. Zatanna is self destructing. Artemis and Rocket are both potential felons/assassins to be. Superboy, you’ve got those pesky anger issues and the ability to use your mental connection to control Miss Martian if you tried. Miss Martian is too sweet and gentle; the League is afraid your powers will get away from you, with your boy toy’s help. Aqualad’s the son of Black Manta and, oh yeah, the Atlantis Courts killed your mom because it; might be why you’ve always felt like an outsider.” Sagittarius counted off each secret on his fingers.
“That cannot be true...” Kaldur was trying his best to remain calm. This had to be some sort of trick. His king would never...it just had to be a lie!
“Why should we believe a traitor? There’s no way you’re telling the truth!” Connor snapped.
“Believe me or not. You won’t have to worry about it anymore in about twenty minutes.”
“Shut up you son of a bitch!” Robin threw several birdarangs he had hidden...wherever. He was seeing red and didn’t care that this monster had once been a trusted friend.
"Aw are you upset Dickie bird? It's okay to be angry, you have no idea how much stronger it makes you." Sagittarius was suddenly in his face before he could blink. "Emotions hold so much power, you ought to stop suppressing them."
"Yawa teg!" Zatanna launched a spell that he neatly side stepped then in a flash he had vanished. He reappeared behind her, grabbed her hair and swung her like a toy into Robin.
"Uugh." Both moaned before quickly getting. The whole cave was far tenser than before
"That wasn’t very smart.” He chuckled.
“RAWG!” Superboy launched himself at his former friend. He was dead set on punching his lights out. Megan was on the verge of tears from those awful lies and he was going to pay for that. Wolf and Sphere flanked him. The loyal pets came to a dead stop when two streaks of light pieced them. Superboy continued forward.
“Not much better.” Sagittarius grabbed his out stretched arm as if to leap frog over it. Instead of bringing his feet over the clone’s head, he kangaroo kicked him in the face. Connor reeled but managed to grab one of the red head’s feet and fling him into the zeta tube computer.
“How was that?” He snarked as the man they used to know as Roy stood up. He dusted himself off as if it were nothing.
“So so.” He waved his hand vaguely. “ I’m a Zodiac Knight kid, you’re not going to hurt me too much. You’ve been busted heads for what a year? I watched this planet form out of cosmic dust. Me and my brothers are the reason this sorry team exists. Who do you think formed the Justice League? Big Blue thinks the idea was his and The Bat’s but we put the notion in their heads. And got the white martians to invade to seal the deal.”
“You’ve been manipulating the whole League?!” Wally exclaimed. “ How the hell did that happen?!”
“It’s not their fault. Then JLA was suppose to serve as a counter to the evils in the world. Neither light nor dark can ever truly win; if they do bad stuff goes down and the universe self destructs. We figured instead of busting our asses, you should protect your own damn world. You so called heroes and the villains you fight have been tearing this world apart since it’s creation any how. But nooo, they decide to play big brother. Instead of protecting people, the so called defenders of good persecute them and assume they’ll turn into enemies of the almighty Justice League. But don’t worry. They’re next, we’ll just start over. Those two will be the first to replace you.” He pointed to the twins then produced the golden bow he had outside of Star City again. “Hey, just for fun how about we go about this melee style? I mean I’ve given you enough time to get your toys together.”
Everyone’s eye widened when 8 more Red Arrows materialized in the room. The shock was really that they appeared directly in front of each one of them. All smiling evilly as they attacked.
“Whoa!” Rocket barely managed to switch on her belt (which had been a bracelet seconds earlier) and block a glowing gold arrow. The doll kicked the lavender sphere in frustration.“Back off Red. You can’t get through this. The more force you use, the greater the resistance.”
“You’d think so. But, never really been a fan of the laws of physics sweetie.” A second arrow went right through the intertia field, Rocket’s stomach and out her back before disappearing. The protective glow vanished when she fell. Her belt faded away as unseeing eyes stared at the ceiling. “One down.” The doll vanished in a puff of smoke.
“Rocket!” Aqualad was about to run to her when a boot collided with his side.
“I’m over here fish boy.” His doll frowned. “Worry about yourself!”
Water scythes collided with the gold bow. The young Atlantean’s tattoos glowed sending electricity through his water bearers in an attempted to shock him. It did nothing but cause the his opponent the kick him in the stomach. When contact broke, an arrow went through his body. All his strength left him instantly. Slowly, he sank to his knees and fell over. “Two down.” Once again the doll evaporated.
“Holy shit!” Artemis jumped to avoid a slash from the razor sharp tip of the bow aimed at her middle. She had managed to get a few hits in but they were too close for either to fire anything. Or so she thought. As she spun around to deliver a round house, he jabbed a glowing arrow straight through the side of her throat with his hand. She dropped like a puppet with cut strings.
“Number three bites the dust.”
Poor Wally didn’t even get the chance to run. His doll slammed his bow into his left knee instantly crippling him. He doubled over in pain, literally impaling himself on the arrow held up to his stomach.
“Lame.”
“ Leets fo sdnob!” Zatanna summoned chains that wrapped around her doll. She turn to Artemis who was closest and ran to check her. She froze in shock as a thin beam of light exited the front of her chest, then fell on her face.
“Keep your eyes on the enemy stupid.”
Superboy and Miss Martian seemed to be handling their dolls very well. Essentially they had turned their individual battles into a two on two fight. It didn’t seem like the two devils could hurt them. Superboy knocked away everything shot at him and Miss M formed a barrier that she used to push both backwards. She realized too late that was a tactical mistake. Both dolls took aim a the same time and released a single projectile. They split into way more than twenty beams of light that her barrier didn’t even slow down. Superboy yanked her into his arms and faced away trying to protect her. He watched several streaks pass through her back from over her shoulder. Down they went, still embracing.
“Aw... how sweet. Useless, but sweet.” Both dolls laughed before evaporating.
“And then there were two birds with broken wings.” The two remaining Roy’s spoke together.
“Go ahead and scream for me Blondie.” By the time Canary realized the voice was behind her, inches from her ear, a glowing arrow head was poking out of her stomach. He let her fall to the floor in a heap.“Too late.”
“Wow. That took all of 3 minutes. I’m done 17 minutes early.” The last, original Sagittarius grinned. He watched Robin draw his bo staff, amused. “Really? Think you actually have a chance after I took down everyone else so quickly?”
“Fuck yo-!” Robin’s shout was cut off as blood filled his lungs. It spurted out of his mouth, choking him. He looked down at the new bloody hole in his shirt. The baton slipped from his hands and clattered on the floor. He watched the two children hug each other and close their eyes as he hit the floor. The twins had been cowering behind him, terrified.
They had good reason to be. This guy had just slaughtered a room full of superheroes! The people they came to for help. Scattered about the room lying in puddles of red liquid, still as night. There was blood everywhere and all stood between them and certain death was a normal human barely older than them. For all of 10 seconds. He’d even taken out the one adult present before she could react in any way. All with a smile on his face.
They were dead for sure.
“Time to go kiddies.” He snatched Sylphine up and she screamed, wind swirling around her.
“Let her go you freak!” Gabriel’s eyes pulse violet and his necklace came alive. The bird grew to ten times it’s size and began to peck Sagittarius’s face without mercy. The Knight yelped in pain and the little boy snatched his sister free. “Run Sylphy!”
“No you don’t!” Despite the fact that the bird had almost pecked out his eyes, he saw well enough to snag the ebony haired girl’s foot. He raised the bow above his head, the dagger like edge gleamed dangerously in the dim light. “You’ll pay for that!”
Time slowed. The scared girl shut her eyes and clutched her brother’s hand tighter. Her hand suddenly felt hot...the heat was coming from their interlocked fingers. On instinct they lifted their joined hands, praying from something, anything, to help them.
“AHHHHH!” Their attacker shielded his eyes from the intense light, letting go of the child. To his horror, his precious bow shattered, the force blowing him across the room. He slammed into the the zeta beam entrance like a bullet. “Why you little brats!”
He got to his feet just in time for a pulse of energy to knock him back through the portal.
Recogized. ZK03, Sagittar--
The computer voice warped and stalled as he vanished into the transporter. The light the twins were generating pulses wildly again. It bathed the room and the nine bodies scattered about the floor in silver. Abruptly it faded. Nine people began to stir, but two lay motionless on the cold floor.
“Oh my god...” Wally groaned. His head hurt like a bitch. Something was pounding in his ears like a bass drum. Several somethings. All he could hear was thumping, whooshing and buzzing. “What is with all that noise?! It’s too loud!”
“What are you talking about bay(gasp)watch? I can’t (gasp) breathe!” Artemis was going to yell at her boyfriend but found her lungs wouldn’t allow air to enter. She grabbed at her throat. To her shock, there were gills on either side of it.
“What happened? Where’s the asshole?!” Superboy sat up rubbing his head. He paused. Something wasn’t right. He could see Megan just fine but...he couldn’t feel her. “Er...Megan why can’t I feel your mind?”
“I...I don’t know...I can’t feel anyone...” She gasped. “Oh!”
The source of her suprise was the 10 foot tall white martian standing several feet away.
//What is happening? Why do I feel so strange?// The telepathic voice was familiar...
“Kaldur?” Both alien teens blinked.
//Yes?//
“What happe----YAHHHHH!”
1. He hopped up, not really sure what it would accomplish. But feeling a strange vibration against his abs then sliding across the floor free of friction was not it. Nor was slamming into a wall and bouncing off like a superball.
Sphere came back online and rolled towards him. She projected a red beam that momentarily stopped his flight. Very briefly. The beam rippled before turning a lavender color and she went rolling back at a high rate of speed.
“EEEPPP!” Rocket shrieked dove to the side. The danger passed but she continued to scream. A horrendous sound filled the cave.
BOOM! The monitor on the supercompter exploded. Quickly she covered her mouth.
“That was a Canary cry!” Black Canary tried to replicate her own ability. Only a normal, but high pitched scream came out. “What the hell?!”
ZOOOM!
“Help! I can’t stop!” The words were barely heard as a black and white blur zipped by.
Robin leapt up and ran to the medical wing, ignoring the chaos behind him. They were all alive, he knew that. But if that...whatever, was an EMP, then all the computers in the cave could be dead! Red Tornado would be down and Batman...
The Boy Wonder ran like hell, hoping he didn’t loose his second father.
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
And now we’re back to the start of the story. Ironic two scared 10 year olds were able to do what 9 trained fighters couldn’t. Now we can move forward. Next chapter, the heroes are forced to begin dealing with the aftermath of the bizzaro ability swap. Not to mention all the skeletons hiding in their closets. Also just what has the Light been up to? Or the other Knights? Sirensoundwave out!
AN: In support of the blackout, don’t expect chapter 7 ‘til sometime new week.
