Justice league: Overlords - Ch 9.5 (read desc)

Yep, this takes place roughly between ch 9 and 10. Probably should have done it between them but it was a bugger to put together It's not great, but it gets the story across. As always, lemme know what you think :D

 

Awakening

 

Diana opened her eyes. The last thing she remembered was being hit from the side and crashing to the ground. Ager welled inside her. How could she have let her guard down that badly? She looked around her, taking in her surroundings. A fog swirled around her, dancing everywhere she looked.

 

"Diana"

 

A voice called out to her. That voice. It had been with her for as long as she could remember, always reassuring her, offering her advice. She had always assumed it was a gift from the gods, but now...

 

"Who are you?" She called into the darkness. A cloaked figure materialised in front of her. It was...dark, with the exception of its eyes. They burned a bright emerald, glowing from under the hood. The figure floated there, brandishing a scythe, which too burned with emerald light. Had Lantern gotten into her head? No, this light was different to his. It was...paler, with an unnatural quality to it.

 

"You know what must be done Diana. You must cast out your weak mind, and let me in. Let me handle things from here"

 

"Who are you?" Diana insisted, a tinge of frustration in her voice

 

"You know who I am Diana. You have always known. I was there at your birth, I grew up with you"

 

"This is the witches doing, isn't it? I'm not like her, I will not fall victim to your mind games."

 

The figure paused. It moved towards Diana. She drew her sword, ready to slay the foul creature. She held it ready. The figure slashed clean through it with its scythe, turning Dianas sword to dust.

 

"You will let me in Diana. For you will have no choice. As it stands, the age of the super heroes is at an end. Superman will be executed, and you, along with the rest of his noble soldiers will become outcasts. I can stop that."

 

Diana sunk to her knees. Deep inside her, a sense of inadequacy was rising. How could she hope to save Superman if she couldn't even save herself.

 

The figure stood beside her. It whispered in her ear "Join me Diana. With me, you will gain the power to stop this, to save Superman. To save mans-world. My power can even revitalise your home, return the amazons to their rightful place."

 

Diana looked up at the figure. "If...if I do this, you can save them? You can really save my people?"

 

"Of course my dear" the voice was changing. becoming more...feminine. "Together, we can save everyone"

 

The figure outstretched its hand. "Take my hand Diana, and together, we can save them"

 

Diana reached up, and took the figures hand. The green flames that had been dancing around her took hold, swirling around her, a vortex of magic engulfing her. The witch had won. This little thing had given up her free will, all for the promise of the revival of the Amazons. Pathetic.

 

Back on the beach, Dianas body jerked violently, black smoke trailing out of her mouth. She rose. The Enchantress was back, and she was back with a vengeance.
