DC Universe Superboy/Supergirl - 2.19 - Round Two

It isn't long before yet another fight breaks out, with Match leaping towards me, and Galatea flying at me. Really need my brother to wake up, because handling one clone by myself is already hard enough. When you add another in, it just increases the amount of pain. Alicia tries her best to try to help, but is easily swatted away by Match. Galatea's able to get the first hit off, punching me into the ceiling. Nice thing about fighting clones is that I don't have to hold back. I try wrapping my cape around Galatea's arm, but she's able to block it by raising her own cape. Well, it was worth a try.

 

 

"Yes, raise your fists, and fight. She's trying to take everything you've ever worked for! The villain of your story. Use that anger you feel towards her. Take her down, and protect the Red Mercy. If the Red Mercy falls, millions will perish.. You don't want that, do you?" Psycho Pirate urges. The clones nod in agreement, as they continue to pound on me. It isn't long before I'm coughing up blood. I've definitely improved since our last fight, being able to hit both Galatea and Match at several points within the fight.

 

"He's lying to you! He doesn't care for you at all! He's just using you, for his enjoyment." I manage to hit the Red Mercy with my heat vision, which loosens its grip on Chris just a little. Looks like it actually works.. Good to know.

 

"Don't listen to her! She's trying to turn both of you against me. She knows that it's the only possible way for her to win against me. But no matter, the love you two have for me is too strong to be overpowered by such lies. You love me.. Always have, always will." His voice screeches, as I notice the expression of his golden mask change. Not that I can really do much about it, as seconds later, we're up and out of the facility, onto the streets of Leavenworth. Civilians, running fear, as the fight continues. I do my best to lure them away, to the outskirts of the city, but unfortunately, Match grabs my ankle as I'm about to fly, tossing me down towards the ground. I hide the ground hard, and he lands from his leap soon after.

 

"Not today!" He taunts. He's about to punch my jaw, but luckily I'm able to raise my hands up in the nick of time, catching his fist in my hands. I use the slight momentum I have to toss him off me. The arc of the toss sends him straight into a light post. Unfortunately, it leaves me vulnerable to Galatea's attack, which is heat vision aimed straight at my ribcage, which sends me deeper into the ground. I can't help but yell out in pain, with my whole body just throbbing from the pain.

 

"Just when I thought you had learned from our last fight. Still just a pathetic little girl. New cape, cute. You got lucky we had to leave last time. But now? You're done for." She smirks, as she continues to taunt me.

 

"You just made a big mistake. Sometimes, you really just need to shut up when you're ahead." I grin, taking advantage of her big ego. I use this chance to fly out of the crater I've created, hitting her multiple times, before she's able to react. Match rips the fire hydrant out of the ground, and tosses it at me, to which I freeze breath it. Though I notice a kid running through the impact zone. Having only a few seconds before Galatea flies back, I dive down, landing beside the little girl. I cover the both of us with my cape, as the hydrant shatters upon impact, the debris flying everywhere. The girl gives me a hug, as I lower my cape.

 

"Go get em Supergirl!" She whispers into my ear, before letting go, and running as fast as she can away from danger. I smile, giving her a thumbs up, before I fly towards Galatea. We each fire off bursts of heat vision, which upon impact, sends the both of us backwards a few feet. Match takes the opportunity to leap behind me, kicking me in the back, while Galatea flies towards me, her arms stretched out in front of her. The force of Match's kick sends me straight into Galatea's fists. My brother would say that it's a combo attack or something. Really doesn't feel as good as it sounds. The property damage rises, as I proceed to soar through a window of a nearby building. Galatea follows behind, grabbing onto my costume moments later. I'm able to block her oncoming punches, while we fly through the building. The office workers sprint out-of-the-way, noticing us crash through. I'm able to break free of Galatea's hold on me, kicking her off me. I'm able to save a few workers, grabbing them right before the debris came falling down. Another second, and they would've been crushed. I lead them out of the building, but the damage has already been done. Thanks to our brawl, the top half of the skyscraper is now in shambles, as it all comes falling down.

 

"This is what you wanted, right? To be Superboy and Supergirl. To take down the big bad villain, and save the day. Well here's your chance. You can go ahead and kill me, if that's what you really want. Just know, that you can never come back from that choice. You'll be just as bad as me. But those people down there are scared, and they need help. There's no way I'm turning my back on them. Be better." I snap, my voice filled with anger, before diving down, flying as fast as I can to get there. To my surprise, they aren't trying to stop me. Instead, they fly down beside me.

 

"She's right sis. Everyone's so scared of us. What we did. Not a hero move at all. We've been played big time, by our so-called master." Match replies, dropping his head down in shame. Moments later, the three of us collide against the falling structure, our hands stretched out in front of us, pushing the structure. Thankfully, with our combined strength and flight speeds, we're able to push the structure with little strain on our muscles. It isn't long before it's in space. Phew, that was a close one.. A little too close for comfort, if you ask me. I don't really have the time to rest my aching body, as the Red Mercy is still attached to my brother.

Meanwhile, at Agenda's HQ

 

Nice one Alicia.. Now Kara's all by herself, to fight the clones. Not that I can really do all that much against them anyway. Ended up getting swatted into a wall last time I tried anything. So useless.. I can't stop myself from groaning as I teleport myself from the imprint I've created in the wall. I appear beside Chris, and I try teleporting this so called Red Mercy off him. It's of no use however, and the Red Mercy stays attached to him. C'mon Chris, wake up..

 

"Nice try. Unfortunately for you, the Red Mercy is quite the specimen, unable to be removed by such pedestrian means. Oh no, did you just lose a little bit of hope? Yes.. All those emotions you feel. Your disgust, and anger towards me is well justified, after what I've done to your boyfriend. And yes, I know who you are Flux. Just know, that what you're feeling? I live off it. One could even say I thrive off it. Ah there it is.. Sadness. Yes, you feel so very sad. So sad that there's no way you could fight me. Oh would you look at that, cavalry has arrived! " Psycho Pirate continues to taunt, as I notice the eyes on his mask glow. Entering the room, is some creature you'd see in a monster movie. Yellow slitted eyes, with a tail, and claws. Definitely a reptile of some sort, with green skin. Though it's not instantly recognizable. It starts crawling towards me on the wall.

 

"You're right. I can't fight you. I'm just too sad." What am I saying? No matter how hard I try to resist, all I can feel is my own sadness. A tear forms from beneath my hooded mask, dripping down my cheek, not that anybody can see it anyway. Psycho Pirate can't stop himself from laughing, clearly having the time of his life with this.

 

"My loyal servant, the Kanima. A weapon of vengeance. One who would do anything for his master.. Isn't that right? Your love for me is unmatched. You owe me. Kill the girl, for she has killed your family. Match and Galatea, are dead, cause of her. Do it for me. Kill the murderer. " His voice screeches in excitement, clapping his hands together, as the Kanima only snarls in response, before skittering after me, leaping off the wall towards me. Once again, the eyes on the mask glow. Landing in front of me, the Kanima whips its tail at me, to which I teleport out-of-the-way, appearing behind the creature. I'm able to punch it multiple times in the back before it reacts, swinging its arms at me, claws extended. It's then that creature shifts into Tycho?! What the hell?

 

"Tycho? Why?" I ask, my voice trailing off. Moments later, with the creepiest smile, the creature now as Tycho, slashes at my chest. I'm too shocked to think of moving out-of-the-way. Falling down to the ground, with the creature shifting back to its regular form, standing over me, ready for the kill.

 

"I wouldn't do that if I were you.." I know that voice all too well. Looking over, I see that Chris has broken free from the Red Mercy, and is standing."I've had to watch you die far too many times for one lifetime. That nightmare sure takes its toll. But I won't stand by and watch it happen again. "
