The Big Finale
The city of Star City looked deserted. The citizens had either fled or had been turned into black lanterns. At the heart of the city was the entity known as Nekron. Nekron used the city as his base as his black lanterns ravaged the Earth.

The black lanterns increased their numbers each day and the power levels of the black lantern battery increased with each person that died.

Soon Nekron would have enough power to obliterate all life on this planet.

Traya's grateful for the save. She probably could have righted herself, but only once the stars stopped going off behind her eyes. Now, she's able to take to the air again.

Michael's woman? The thought rings loud in her mind. And what was that about the Yellow Lantern? So little of this made sense.

"Hit him hard, hit him now!" she barked. She was tired of this. All the death, all the insane attempts at getting a rise out of them, all the darkness. None of this was what being a super-hero was supposed to be about.

She fired a blast of blue.

"Don't know what the hell you're babbling about, corpse," Michael lied. He did, now. He hadn't really thought about it, but he did have an interest in Traya. Jai somehow knew and used it against him. And since they got the Deputy rings, he's been working with her and thinking about it.

But with the bit of water, Michael knew what was going for the guy in yellow. Michael doubled up again, the ring blasting for Ceridan while the Matrix worked to change the blast at the yellow lantern. Instead of a blast of mixed water and nitrogen, it is now pure oxygen.

"The hell is he talking about, David?"

"THIS ENDS NOW, ATLANEAN!" Damien snarls, opening up with a blast of yellow energy that seeks to rip Cerdian apart atom by atom.

"You stood between me and my /wife/! Did you think I would just let her walk away with you, betray me by giving someone like /you/ our unborn children? I killed you once and I would kill you a thousand more times if it meant keeping Lian from you!

She will never love you the way you want, Atlantean, the only person you have to blame is yourself!" Damien yells, turning up the energy.

"Now stay where you belong! In the grave and in my memories." he says coldly.

"And now I understand why you murdered /me/, Damien Wilson." Cerdian says, using his own ring and magic to hold back the combined onslaught of the blue, green and yellow.

"For someone who prides himself on instilling fear, you have more than enough to power your ring and then some. But do us all a favor and tell Traya, the woman in blue, what /Jai West/ was standing between when you murdered /him/." Cerdian demands.

And for anyone looking, there might be a smile on Cerdian's mangled face, even as their combined energies batter down his shields.

	Behind her mask, Traya's eyes grow wide and whatever focus she had powering the ring goes with it. She still held herself aloft with some focus on the wind, but the rest... "He... he... he killed Jai...?" she said, in a quite, far away voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Damien Wilson? Killed Jai? Killed this guy?

There was a lot there, but right now Michael had to stay focused. So it took all of his will not to turn on "David" (sorry, Damien) and beat the tar out of him right then and there. Even if this was the guy who managed to kill Jai and this guy.

Michael would probably out of his league in that fight. First things first, though.

"When this is over, 'David', we're going to have to have a long 'talk'." Michael said pouring all he could into the blast at the Atlantean.

Too late, Damien realized what the Atlantean had done. Even after they destroyed this monstrosity, that left Damien to deal with two people who were very angry over the death of someone that Damien hadn't truly considered that important.

It really is true that you're nobody until somebody kills you.

"He is trying to distract you! If we do not stop him /now/, we /all/ die!" Damien yells, turning up his efforts.

He hoped the Atlantean continued to fight, because Damien's mind was working overtime for a solution on How To Get Out of This One. He wishes Morgaine were here. She'd just help him kill all three of these fools and be done with it.

"He murdered me to take the woman I love and he killed Jai West for his power! How do you think those fifteen million people died? It was /him/!" Cerdian yells.

"And you can be certain that he'll kill both of you to cover up his crimes as soon as you've dealt with me!" Cerdian says.

"But don't take my word for it. See for yourselves...if you all survive!" he sneers.

With that, Damien and Michael's powers tear through Cerdian's shields, hitting him with their full force.

Connection severed.

As if responding to Cerdian's destruction, the ocean /roars/ and a massive tidal wave speeds toward Star City, intent on wiping it out.

	There's a sudden feeling in the air, like the eerie calm before a massive tornado. A tornado that strikes down from the sky at Damien. "YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED HIM!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh dear god. That is a huge wave of water.

"Traya, we have a problem."

Michael flies straight for the tidal wave. He knows he can stop it. He knows he can. But it will take a lot. He'll need help.

Michael tries to relax as he prods the Matrix, trying to see how far he can push himself. And then Michael reacts. The Green pushes hard, holding the water back in a massive retaining wall while the Matrix pushes against the onslaught of hydrogen dioxide. Michael pushes and pushes and pushes. He can feel the blackout coming. He knows he has just a few seconds before he passes out.

Still, Michael pushes. Until finally, the weight of the water, held by the green, has been turned almost completely into ice. Not the whole amount. Several million metric tons of water would be impossible. He made a dam out of the front wave. Enough to hopefully hold the water back enough to re-route the seawater elsewhere.

Finally, the blackness overtook him. He had succeeded in protecting the city. He just didn't know what would happen next.

Damien grinned in savage satisfaction as Cerdian died /again/. Now his path to Lian was clear once and for all. He would never have to worry about this man posing a threat to his wife and unborn children.

"To contend with the Demon's head is to lose, Atlantean. You should have--URF!"

The tornado wind slams into Damien, throwing him to the ground and dragging him several hundred feet along the beach. When he finally stops, he looks around for his new attacker.

Ah, the woman. Damien gets to his feet, his yellow ring blazing with energy.

"Are you /certain/ you wish to do this now, Traya? I have no desire to harm you, but I do not brook being attacked by anyone, man or woman. You can take your friend and leave, and we will call ourselves even." Damien says, creating one, two, three, four, five and six yellow katana. He takes the first in hand, as the other five circle him defensively.

"Choose."

There's another moment where it feels like the air is tensing, ready to strike and bring righteous and glorious revenge down upon Damien.

What choice did she have? Damien had killed Jai, had killed all those people , and was utterly without remorse about it. He took such joy and pride in it, in the violence he could unleash.

She could end it. Steal the air from his lungs in a heartbeat. A choking death, ignoble and forgotten amongst the chaos that reined today.

There choice was simple, really.

"I will find you," Traya said, coldly. "And I will hurt you."

Now, she wrapped Michael up in a bubble of blue and left Damien on the shore.

Damien believed Traya's words when she spoke. When she had the chance, she would make war with him for the death of Jai West. Worse yet, she would tell others, who would join her in her attacks against him.

Damien walks toward the shoreline and spits on Cerdian's remains.

"The dead should remain that way, Atlantean." Damien says.

And then he lifts off into the sky to make himself scarce while he determines how he'll handle this new development.

	The fog around Michale cleared a bit, pulling himself up form what he though was the beach. When his eyes focused, he saw that it wasn't the beach: it was an orb. Shaking his head, Michael saw that he was flying and Traya was carrying him up. "Did we stop the tsunami? What happened to the Yellow Bastard? What happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Traya was crying behind her helmet and it was evident in her voice. "You stopped it," she said. "I was too busy trying to hurt him." She paused, choked back tears. "I let him get away. There's too much else to do right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-03-20 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Don't worry about it Traya. We did what was more important. And when this is all over..." Firestorms fire seems to blaze hotter at this point. "...I'm gonna make sure that bastard is in traction. What he did wasn't right. You can let me out. I think I can fly with the ring." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Traya extended her blue power to top Michael up. Her own ring was humming along just fine. "You shouldn't have had to do that alone. I should have been helping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's okay. Part of being a hero, right? Doing the impossible and all that jazz?"

The ring begins to fill again, but there is no warning this time. He's being topped off. But when he closes his eyes, he begins to see something...odd.

Michael was sitting there on the beach. He knew this beach: it was the one that was closest to his home. And it wasn't crowded like it usually is. Its nice and clean and its warm.

But not as warm as the woman who is wrapped up in his arms, sitting right in front of him. He doesn't see her face at first, but the intimacy, the closeness, it's all there. Then she tips her head back and flashes a smile.

"Isn't this great, Michael?"

Michael smiles back and nods at Traya, and he leans in to kiss her and-

"Whoa."

	For just a second, through the power of her ring, Traya had begun to get a shape of what Michael was hoping for. His own words snapped her out of it before she could make any sense of it. "Did you... see something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-03-21 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Saw something weird. Must've been the end of this mess." Michael couldn't tell her. She was still Jais girl in his mind. But... What did that vision mean? Was dead-Jai right? Was that Atlantean right? Did Michael actually have feelings for Traya. "Cobwebs are about gone. Lets go take care of this crap." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I sure hope so," Traya said. "We're putting them down... but sucking up puddles in a flood." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
