I underestimated him.
I’d wanted to save my egg for when it was needed, a real challenge. As the energy rain comes, I reach for the egg.
But everything’s already gone black.
I’m dead.
But it’s not the first time.
Something flashes back to me. Something that’s never happened, and yet … something that might have happened? I don’t know what I’m seeing. I can’t make sense of it.
I’ve died before. Before the Omniverse.
A pain that seemed to fill my chest and expand outwards, taking every cell in my body and vibrating it so hard as to stop my heart.
I remember. This thing that never happened.
And I remember, how I defied death.
Even as my blood slows, as the oxygen within my limbs fades to nothing, I still have my power.
I.
Will.
Not.
Die.
Here.
I jumpstart my heart with lightning.
One pump. Two.
And I feel death’s embrace loosen.
The world around us has faded. We’re back in the city, and it’s shattered. Was that the condition to break the device’s shield? That one of us should die?
I look at the demon before me.
He escapes.
Rage fills my form. Pure, unabashed hatred.
My rightful kill has been stolen from me. Fate denied.
Omni, once again, has stolen what is not his.
I rage. Loose lightning in every direction. Wrecking the ground upon which I stand, shattering windows, destroying everything.
I jump to the sky, make to fly – but find myself brought downwards, with a painful reminder.
Then the pain comes. It feels like my head has been shattered. Blood drips from my mouth, and my teeth – my teeth are broken, jagged. I spit free chunks of bloody enamel and look around.
Where is Batman? Where is Graowr? They should have been done with that white-haired fool by now.
Did they?
Did they run?
I reach out with my senses, as far as they can go. And within the radius of that circle, I feel something. Fresh life.
I go there as fast as my legs can manage.

Quote:No movement, still in C17, just wanted to do a post-fight before I join up with Graowr, Cell and Archer to fight Dawn.
