Clash of Realms
CHP33: Consumed by Darkness

She talked and he listened, enthralled by much of what was said and while at first he had no intent of involving himself halfway through he was swayed and his choice swapped.
"Rodrigo, shut your mouth, goodness!" Koharu looked up, half-stunned and half- tickled as the investigator swept into the lab, followed by a gawky new vampire detective assigned to the task by the Dark Lord herself.
Koharu was a Forensic Pathologist and one of the best at doing her job. She inwardly sighed, already pulling her clipboard off the desk, for she had just completed an autopsy and had just shed her gloves and lab coat. Koharu quickly shrugged back into the less than pristine coat and plastered a smile on her face.
"And you must be the detective sent by our queen, I've been expecting you. Detective Wallace, is it?" Koharu reached out and shaking hands with him as he smiled.
He stood at 6'2 with dark brown eyes and blond hair and dressed in a dark suit and hat in a similar color. The disguise was perfect and covered Bruce Wayne's features, all through the magic of the special lock around his wrist. Disguises and trickery were right up his alley, none of this was uncharted territory. Before his arrival he received in depth information on the case from the Dark Lord, which she obtained directly from the primary investigators working the case.
"Nakamura Chinatsu, found a few days ago behind the Siztiez Plaza," Bruce spoke tersely, ignoring the look of wonder on the face of the other vampire officer, Rodrigo sent with him. "That's who we're here to see."
He was probably curious as to how some newly assigned detective figured out where the woman had been found, but then again it was the news of the week and would be until the case was solved. Never mind that his files were currently halfway hanging out of his briefcase.
"A British vampire mostly working out of Hiklorhan Entertainment Productions, and a fan favorite for her voice and mysterious allure and she had an amazing connection with the fans. Her body was with much bruising strangely, a diamond ring was also found tightly concealed in her left hand. Bits of her clothing has been a question particularly that her shoes were on the wrong feet. There was blood all around her mouth, but mostly smudged as if someone wiped it away. She will be gravely missed, that's for sure. She was apparently on her way to Siztiez Plaza to meet with her agent and another interested in signing off on her for a tour when the murder occurred. She never made it to the meeting," Koharu said.
"At least that was the original plan," Bruce spoke just as he uncovered a slip of paper from inside a side pocket in his jacket. "However, Chinatsu had left a note to her agent explaining that she wouldn't be available for the meeting and requested it be rescheduled. Yet her body was still found just outside the building. And the important thing to keep in mind is that Chinatsu wasn't very private, and publicly shared most of her activities. Any one of her followers could know where she'd be and when, but not this. The decision to cancel came late and only she and her agent knew of the cancellation. Where is the body?"
Koharu and the other officer looked to him, wondering what he was getting at. The deceased was wearing a small pin on her jacket, deigning the company's emblem, as well as the program. And while she was known for being well-dressed, in the instance of her death it was different. She was not wearing her office or work attire, nor casual attire and under her jacket she was dressed in purple lingerie. Not exactly something a woman would wear on the way to the office and then there was also the forecast. She didn't carry an umbrella suitable for the sudden rain Hiklorhan was apt to experience that evening based on the projection. It was poisonous and deadly to vampires and there wasn't a citizen that wouldn't be alert of such weather and best prepare themselves in advance. Anyhow Koharu put that thought aside as she led both men to where the body was, halfway across the room and unzipping the cadaver pouch where the deceased laid.
"Detective Wallace, you bring to light valid points, but to what reason. Twenty three years of age, in otherwise perfect health apart from the fact that she is dead," Koharu scanned her notes briefly. "And treasured by so many. So many admired her, those with hatred for the woman were her own competitors... and she did have a mouth on her, but what vampire doesn't. Our queen sent you here Mister Wallace, claiming you could help crack this case. Surely she must have her reasons, but from my knowledge you've done little to no work in these parts."
A quick moment of silence ensued just before the other investigator spoke.
"Friends say that she was studious, but a party animal which anyone would know unless you're living under a rock. Associates close to her say she turned in for bed at her home at just after midnight Thursday. Chinatsu was at the studio earlier that morning, or so her recording circle said," Rodrigo listed.
"Based on the detailed information we've been provided, it was routine for her to be around at that time. But obviously that isn't where she was Thursday after midnight, nor where she was headed," Bruce pulled out crime scene photos from a small folder in his jacket pocket.
Each photo was scattered out neatly over the table of the deceased found on scene, in addition to other photos taken over the surrounding area. Nakamura Chinatsu was found right off the premises of the Siztiez Plaza.
"How about we review everything that we know," Bruce rubbed his hands together.
The investigator opposite of him was with a case file of his own and additional information which he too uncovered and laying out over the table.
"A well-known up and coming superstar and to go down the list of acquaintances and potential suspects could take hours and so I worked an entirely different angle," Bruce rested his hands over the table while leaning forward. "We know she was a party goer and loved to have fun and instead of locking in on friends and coworkers, let's focus on the past seventy two hours of her life before it ended."
Both the Rodrigo and the Forensic Pathologist listened in as Bruce went on.
"There is one I'd like to specifically focus on. Detective you learned this for yourself during your investigations and talking with friends of hers," Bruce eyed him directly. "Liam Tryniski, the millionaire and head of operations in trades in the yokai realm. He is CEO and spokesman for Kolckwergen. But he's also been under investigation from the head of National Public Safety Commission... Nakamura Fukumi. The mother of our victim."
Koharu swallowed back while the investigator's eyes narrowed.
"You can't really be suggesting that Liam was the one that..."
"Pulled the trigger, made the kill? No, I'm not suggesting anything, yet," Bruce eyed him for a moment before turning his attention to Koharu. "I've read over your report a couple dozen times before my arrival and there were irregularities, have you determined the cause of death?"
"I have not, but my team and I are well on our way to doing so," she replied.
Bruce breathed out with a step back and away from the table.
"You won't have to, I believe I might have an idea of how. But let's first cover the, who and why," Bruce responded.
Both yokai gazed up at him as he uncovered another stash of photos and scattered them over the table. The investigator particularly moved in and looked over the five separate images. The victim Chinatsu was in each, but so to was another individual and the investigator recognized who this person was in a matter of seconds.
"That man is Tizzy Wilkonson, the personal body guard of Liam. These two photos are what you should especially take a look at," Bruce pointed out as the investigator looked down.
The female victim appeared close and cozy with Tizzy and as the investigator gazed down further over the pics he noticed that in the two shots in particular Chinatsu was holding hands with the said guard, but the two unnoticed due to the massive crowds surrounding them in the vicinity.
"How... how could I have missed this, where were these photos taken?!" Rodrigo halfway shouted.
"An exposition just two weeks ago, east side of Hiklorhan. The head of National Public Safety Commission was aiming for and trying to put Liam out of business and behind bars, and then we have her daughter over on the side engaging in a relationship with his hired muscle... wrong," Bruce said
Koharu felt herself jump a bit while the vampire investigator felt an increase in his heart rate. Bruce breathed out as he continued.
"Within weeks of Nakamura Fukumi starting her investigations into this man and his dealings things became heated, and Liam sending threats as she managed to dig up more and more, things he wanted buried. But then in the past two weeks that all stopped, her persistent digging."
"And this has nothing to do with our murder from what I can tell, upstart. But you seem to think you know what yur doing, so I'll bite. What has you convinced?"
The sarcasm was apparent in Rodrigo's voice, but this didn't stop Wayne.
"The photos of Nakamura Chinatsu were snapped during this time, which isn't a coincidence. Now tell me detective Rodrigo, a simple question. What did you know of our victim's social life, particularly who she was dating?"
The answer was an easy one and he answered without hesitation.
"Isac Reynolds, a self-made musician and a damn good one at that. He was one of the first I interviewed following Chinatsu's death. The kid was really broken up over her death, sounds like he really loved her and she him."
"Good, then that makes following this next bit a lot easier. Only a premonition at the moment, but can be determined with a DNA sample. Fukumi didn't just pull back for no reason and as you said Chinatsu was in a healthy and loving relationship with Isac. The dropping of interest in Liam Tryniski and then Fukumi's daughter in such a setting which leads to one thing... leverage. Somehow Liam pulled up dirt on Chinatsu and used it as blackmail so that her mother would back off. This would also explain her erratic behavior and tardiness for scheduled events in her final days. They had a tight hold over her, and her mother held at bay with whatever material they had."
"Damn it! I didn't think much of it at first but it turns out it was something I should never have turned my back on," Rodrigo looked over the ground. "Friends of hers I spoke with specified she would meet up with a strange man at various locations, namely motels. The description of this man, while at the time no one could identify him matches up with Tizzy."
The vampire investigator was having a difficult time processing and figuring how and where detective Wallace was picking up all this information, but took time to slow his thoughts and really think. He took moments to again look over the photos laid out over the table and silently recalled everything they'd confirmed while Bruce continued.
"She was in perfect health, but her body in such a state at death that isn't common," Bruce circled the table where the deceased laid.
He lifted the sleeve covering the body's arm. As he had suspected, it was covered in bruises. Subconsciously, he wrapped his hand around the arm, his fingers roughly matching the bruised pattern. He felt a tightness in his throat as he continued inspecting the body and it was as if he'd seen something like this before. With two fingers to his chin he moved around in deep thought as he eventually looked up with fulfilment.
"The Realm of Alvasleha..." Bruce murmured.
It was the location where he trained for over a year under the supervision of Selene Kayeda. The whole time wasn't spent enduring physical and spiritual training, using his free time to study up on the yokai realm but none more than vampires, history, weaponry, tools and medicines. He picked up on much through his studies and Selene there to illuminate any questions that he had. The way in which the victim's bruises flared up and the excessive veins over her flesh was something he'd viewed through pictures and recited.
"This woman was raped, and murdered," Bruce said coldly, looking up at both the investigator and Koharu. "Dressed in lingerie, she was on her way to meet someone and not just anyone. It was him, Tizzy Wilkonson."
Bruce asked for Koharu to bring him the crime scene photos which she did promptly.
"Probably arranged at the last minute. Where her body was found is not where the crime took place. Take a look at the pin over her jacket," Bruce pointed out as both looked. "It's on the wrong side. There's a section over the jacket that implies it be placed on the other side. There are tiny holes on the left lapel but none on the right. She dressed in a hurry... or should I say someone dressed her in a hurry. And as detailed in your report, her heels were on the wrong feet. This woman didn't dress herself."
With the stacks of crime scene photos in hand, Bruce flipped through them and looking for one specifically. The two of them waited patiently and silently as he came to a stop after flipping through nearly ten images.
"See here? The back of her jacket was dragged over the pavement, the collection of dirt and mud runs parallel to each other, which confirms which angle she was pulled. There was a storm during the night of her murder which is consistent with the evidence."
"There's no sign of forced…entry, on the deceased," Koharu could have kicked herself.
Of course there wouldn't be, not with the accelerated rate a vampire healed.
"It began consensually," Bruce replied, irritated. "It began consensually... but then something happened. Something changed, halfway through. The smudged blood you found over her mouth and seemingly wiped clean, is who we're after. That is the one she was intimate with. In the struggle and change of heart she must have taken a sizeable bit into him, enough so to create pain and get him off her. You've kept samples of that blood, I'm sure? It'll put him at the crime scene once he's brought in, regardless of his story."
"Wallace, what the hell are you getting at?!" Rodrigo yelled.
Running both hands over his face and then through his hair Bruce reviewed everything that they knew through his head.
"The cause of death," Bruce looked to both. "I read over your in depth report of the quick autopsy you performed on her blood. You haven't determined a cause of death which is fine. I believe I know the cause. There are two parts to this, so listen carefully."
"New guy thinks he's some sort of hot shot, just what the hell do you think this is?! I don't care if you were sent by Bloodriver Akasha herself, some new meat isn't just trotting in here and tell us what is and what isn't! And since you seem to have all the answers, why was she holding a diamond ring?"
Bruce glared at the investigator with his arms crossed.
"I don't have the answer to that, but if you're done I'll continue. Vampires don't normally show signs of bruising even during death unless something third party was used. Chinatsu was beaten, no doubt about it but that was far from the cause of death. We vampires are immune to most poisons and disease, but in the case of our victim that's exactly what happened."
"And here I was under the impression you were a detective, not some pathologist," Rodrigo flashed his eyes. "Thought that was her job."
Rodrigo looked to the woman off to the side of them.
"Chinatsu was exposed to a chemical called Vydro, and once in the system of a vampire it causes what would be considered an allergic reaction to which the body becomes hypersensitive. In other words she experienced an anaphylactic shock... but that wasn't what killed her, only what weakened her immune system and other working body functions so that once the poison itself was injected it would kill her. Her ability to heal diminished exceedingly by this point and this was also when our subject beat on her."
Koharu's mouth immediately dropped open.
"Which explains the visible bruising over her body, but even with something such as Vydro in play I've never come across a poison that causes the body to turn to such a shade of green. What do you propose was used?"
"Based from your report and from my knowledge and in addition to seeing the body I'd say Pesterial Vecta. It's a poison that starts with affecting the blood cells which then passes to the liver, lungs and heart. It would have been mostly painless until the last few moments..."
"My heavens," Koharu rested a hand over her mouth. "What tipped you off?"
"Research, and fortunate enough to work around persons of great knowledge."
Stepping back and with just over a foot between himself and the table Bruce breathed out and whenever they met again he owed her big time. All of what he knew and learned of the yokai realm could be credit to Selene Kayeda. She showed him much in the art of medicines, disease poisons and so much else in the yokai medical field. If there was one thing he admired about her it was her knowledge, dedication and perfection of her craft. It was easy to see why she was the most sought after medic in the realm. It would take decades, no probably an entire century for a novice to reach the level of understanding that she possessed.
"Okay, not bad," Rodrigo nodded his head. "Where do we go from here?"
"I first report back to queen Akasha, she requested I kept her up to date on the proceedings here. And most importantly we have a suspect, Tizzy Wilkonson. For now keep this under wraps until we're given further instructions. I'll go make the call. There's a chance Liam Tryniski might have had a role to play in all this, we aren't counting anything out."
"Do what you have to, my mouth is shut," Rodrigo nodded.
Together they watched Bruce exit out of the room where he then made the call. No matter the progress made, the case was far from unraveled. There were still far too many holes in which needed filling.

All of what he gathered thus far in the investigation was shared with the Dark Lord and then his next set of business was tracking the prime suspect, which he did so back to the human world. Batman stood over the roof of a building five blocks from where he tracked the target. What started as a lone mission saw changes as in front of him were both Morrigan Aensland and Robin, the two silent and peeping at one another from time to time.
"Father, please do tell me again why you're running chores for Bloodriver?" Robin rolled his eyes as he again looked to Morrigan."And why is she here?"
"Don't want my support little birdie? Didn't Batman tell yah the dynamic duo is dead? It's the dynamic trio now," Morrigan brushed her hands together.
"And I'm Superman," Robin countered.
The caped crusader glowered from behind, but neither taking notice with their backs to him. But somehow they could feel it emitting over them and so they simultaneously turned their gazes that way.
"We have a mission," he reminded them.
Morrigan found out about everything from Bruce during his return from the yokai realm and preparing his pursuit of Tizzy Wilkonson who was on business in the human world. And it was in Singapore where that trail led them, and the objective in a building across the street from the roof where they stood. The atmosphere between the boy wonder and the succubi seemed to break as the two readied themselves for business, but that didn't stop Morrigan from sticking her tongue out at him. This didn't go unnoticed by the boy who was ready to retort, but his father there and so he instead sneered and did nothing.
"Right. So what's the plan, darling?" Morrigan queried.
"Robin and I will infiltrate the warehouse to scope it out and take out the surrounding guards before we pursue the target. Meanwhile you will keep to the air above the building. When we assess that the situation is as I like, you will come in through the roof if your help is necessary, which it won't," Batman explained.
"Pffff, plan is real I don't know... forget all the sneaking around!" Morrigan jumped up. "Let's just crash the party head on! There isn't a thing any of them could do to stop us. Yeah, yeah I know you enjoy the whole sneaking around thing and surfacing out of nowhere and scaring the living shi..."
"Morrigan..." Batman frowned.
"I'm so right on this one, bat come on," she wined. "And besides, why do I have to wait outside and miss all the action? Unfair."
"One reason," Batman answered calmly. "Because I said."
Robin's smile beamed heavy at this but Morrigan with laughter.
"Hhhmm such an alpha, I like. But a empress doesn't take orders, she gives them."
"My mission, my rules," Batman responded.
"Wrongo, Akasha's mission. And I don't recall anyone of us being elected leader, I nominate myself!"
Morrigan jumped up happily raising her hand.
"Declined," Robin replied.
"Little boy, your vote doesn't amount to jack. Come again when you're old enough to drink."
With a hand over his belt Robin pulled out a small dagger.
"Can I gut her, leave her body for the roaches and we do our thing?" Robin looked to Batman.
"Ooooh so gory and disturbing. Such a sense of imagination, but isn't any way to speak about your potential mother in law of the future, now is it?"
"You, my mother?" Robin cackled as he reconnected the blade to his belt. "I'd sooner rather have a donkey take that place than some call girl, escort."
Morrigan sunk a hand over her heart and with an over exaggerated expression of distress. Right away Batman stepped in and looked to scold Robin for his selection of words, but Morrigan stopped him.
"Its fine Bruce and besides," Morrigan smiled down over the boy. "I like him, so open and honest without a care. We're going to get along great, aren't we?"
Morrigan reached down grabbing and squeezing at Damian's left cheek just as he slapped it away.
"Touch me again and your hands are gone," Robin glowered.
"Boundaries, I can respect; we all have them. That's perfectly fine, plus I do enough of that with him," Morrigan looked back and walking the opposite way. "You call him father, dontcha? Wanna know what I call him?"
The succubus looked back at Robin with a cunning grin.
"Morrigan, the mission" Batman growled with a reminder.
"Lighten up, those guys aren't going anywhere, daddy," she spoke the last word just loud enough so that Robin would hear.
His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he looked to both Morrigan and his father. Now that she had the boy's full attention the succubi wanted to force in the dagger.
"How about a nice good luck smooch from your dearest?"
The interruptions were problematic and he almost regretted letting both Robin and Morrigan tag along. Had he known in advance that collaboration was going to be this much of a hindrance he wouldn't have. He was more than ready to give Morrigan a choice of words but instead he received a mouthful of her tongue as she mashed her lips against his and Robin watching with wide eyes just before immediately turning away and looking in the opposite direction.
"Someone please cut my eyes out!"
If there was a way he could un see that he would. But even with his back to them he could hear the sucking and moaning sounds of Morrigan and right then realized exactly what she was doing and if he gave in and retaliated he'd be doing exactly what she wanted and she would win. The kiss only lasted a few seconds before Morrigan pulled away and trailing a finger over his lips.
"Nothing like an act of passion before stepping into battle," Morrigan leaned up against Batman, but looking Robin's way. "Just a small promo of what's to come later. Nothing gets a succubus more in the mood than watching her lover in battle."
Robin was still with his back to them but his fists now tight as he slowly turned to Morrigan licking at her lips and winking. Try as he may to hold himself back, at this point it was useless. With that same dagger in hand he chucked it right at her, but Makai's queen easily snatching it out of the air.
"Don't tell me the little birdie is butt hurt," Morrigan teased. "I'm not stealing him away or coming in between you. I'm just enjoying him in the way that only a woman..."
"Enough!" Batman silenced her. "From this point there is only the mission, nothing else matters. The relationship I have with my son is between him and me. There is no difference to us, it is our business and doesn't openly need to be discussed with anyone."
"Fair point, not another word out of me."
Morrigan tossed the dagger back to Robin who caught and put it away and their gazes glued for a moment. Out of his utility belt Batman provided Morrigan with a small comm device which she inserted into her ear.
"We'll be able to communicate using this and you aren't to make any advancement into the building unless I say."
"Yada, yada, no playground for Morrigan unless Batman says," the succubus said mockingly.
Batman ignored the remark as he sided with Robin and after a quick rundown they were on their way across the street. A short minute later Morrigan flapped her wings and took to the air and giggling with a hand to her mouth.
"Damian," she whispered. "Oh boy is my little Audrey going to just absolutely adore you."
In a just a couple short minutes everything was going well as they made their way inside. Batman and Robin entered the building secretly on the north end, familiarizing themselves with the layout. One by one and little by little they took down a handful of guards until all that remained was the main group.
"That's him, Tizzy Wilkonson," Batman pointed out one individual.
"I'm here if you need me, just send the signal," Morrigan communicated with them over the comms.
There was laughing down below and it was Tizzy who looked upward and to the shadows of where Batman and Robin lurked.
"Boys, boys," he looked to the others within the room. "It would appear we have company and a monster for that matter. That's right monster, I can sense your very essence so go ahead and show yourself."
Batman bit back, realizing he wasn't wearing a yokai limiter and the ability to suppress and hide his monster energy completely was still a work in progress. But there was no longer any use in hiding and so he exposed himself in gliding down and Robin following.
"The Batman, what on earth?!" Tizzy shouted.
With that a dozen in the group started opening fire on the dynamic duo. The Dark Knight maneuvered his body around through the air in a very supernatural way dodging the bullets as Robin landed further behind him and ducking behind a table to avoid the gunfire.
But then from out of nowhere and above them the ceiling smashed through showering the gunmen with debris. Those still standing and avoiding the plummeting ceiling looked upward and firing off bullets at Morrigan Aensland who deflected the ammunition with just her wings. Immediately Batman glared up at her. Her assist was never called upon and yet, there she was. With their attention on the flying succubus, Batman quickly took out the gunmen.
Out the corner of his eye, Robin spotted Tizzy making his escape and went after him. A birdarang thrown out and piercing through the wall ahead of him got the vampire's attention.
"Where do you think yur going?" Robin jumped and flipped up over him.
Robin then leaped forward with a kick, but Tizzy showing inhuman strength, taking hold of the kick and throwing Robin aside like it was nothing. The boy wonder was resilient and came at him again, but this time Tizzy caught him by the throat with one hand.
"I don't sense a shred of yokai in you, boy. Does the mighty Batman truly turn to human children as allies?" the vampire laughed aloud. "Not sure why you heroes have any query with myself, and frankly I don't care to know. I'm going to enjoy breaking this little neck of yours."
Robin wasn't about to call out for help, much too stubborn but he was certainly in an unfavorable position. He reached down for something in his utility belt but it was already too late as he was detached from Tizzy who was blitzed and forced into a wall halfway across the room. By the time Robin looked up it was Morrigan that stood over Tizzy's unconscious body and the succubus turning and winking at him.
"You're welcome."

The two of them appeared over the rooftops through a vortex, looking down over the citizens of Metropolis. Q-Bee halfway stepped over the edge and a smile occupying her features. In just one step Jedah moved up and was just beside her and cracking his knuckles.
"And you are sure this will work?" she partially looked his way. "Will this draw him out?"
No response came and without even the smallest movement Jedah was with his arms crossed, followed by a nod.
"He'll come and when he does your purpose is fulfilled. I wish to face him without an audience, you would only be getting in the way if you stayed."
Just as she leapt off the ledge and fluttering her wings, Q-Bee peered over her soon-to-be victims. Even without physical contact, she could taste and feel their souls would be quite a delicacy. But with this instance she wasn't here to do so quickly and instead torture then the whole lot of them a means to draw in the catch. And so she went right to work with her arms outstretched creating bee hives out of her hands.
The citizens below had no idea of the danger upon them, but that didn't last for long as hordes of bees swarmed down over them and the assault initiating. Q-Bee made herself visible over the top very much enjoying the tormented look in the eyes of the humans who ran around screaming as they were being attacked. On just that one block there had to be at least 200 to 300 of them roaming around and for the of the queen of the Soul Bee race it was like an open Buffet with so many options to choose from.
She swooped in over the panicked crowds and knocking them over, simply using this as a means to play around and bring out the fear in the helpless targets. Some were already down from the attack by the bees and it was among these following persons that she eyed as her first official target. The woman was injured and with a swarm of bees flying around her body. She was perfect and looked delicious. Q-Bee dropped down over this woman with her stinger stabbing into her side. The woman wailed for only a moment before her life force was soon drained into the body of the predator. She didn't stop there and went after two more unsuspecting victims and doing as she did with the first. Jedah watched from up high and with a grin over his lips, almost enjoying it as much as his subordinate. But all the while he kept his eyes on the lookout for a certain alien.
"Call out to him, I want you to beg and scream for him to come to your rescue," Q-Bee snatched up her fourth victim and lifted him off the ground. "Do it, call to your savior."
There was no other alternative and so he did it, shouting the name Superman at the tops of his lungs. Q-Bee giggled while licking her lips just as she stabbed her stinger into his stomach and devoured his soul just like the others. Dozens of bystanders tried retreating from the area fast as they could and a car accident occurring down the block because of this. The Queen of the Soul Bee race only managed to get her hands over another victim before a rocking sound Echo from the skies and a singular figure sit through forcing her into the pavement.
It all happened so fast that even Jedah was unable to see until the one approaching slowed up, but it wasn't who he was expecting and Q-Bee had been knocked unconscious as she laid in a sizable crater in the middle of the street. It was a woman with long blonde hair, red boots and cape, skirt and S symbol over her chest. And taking control of the situation, she used her ice breath freezing many of the bees and those that weren't were burned to a crisp buy her blazing vision.
At the conclusion of this, Jedah applauded the kryptonian as he leaped downward and her eyes over him with her guard up. The demon moved in on the hero but with his hands behind his back and only to reveal a red rose just before letting out a moan.
"A beautiful rose, for the lovely Roxanne," Jedah extended his arm with the flower held out in front of him and bowing his head.
Suddenly the flower was fried as super girls eyes were are steaming red and Jedah so casually shrugging as he dropped what remained of the rose's stem.
"Not who I was expecting, but you're just as he. Suppose this isn't much a shocker, after all you share the same abilities," a menacing grin covered his mouth. "Tell me, was it their cries that led you here... or was it their pleas to him?"
Kara's eyes returned to normal but her fists unyielding.
"You're with her," Supergirl looked to the unconscious enemy. "Yes I heard all of it. Everything! Don't think for a moment you'll be walking away without answering for that. I don't care if it was her doing or not. What do you want with Kal?"
Supergirl marched forward and he watched her vigilantly.
"Kal, is that what you call him," Jedah grazed at his chin. "Interesting, but regrettably I'm not here for such subtleties. In his absence you will have to do, I've read up and I know extensive amounts about your Kryptonian species."
"That makes two of us, Jedah Dohma," Supergirl's stare burned-over him and brought about a laugh.
"So you know of me, very well."
"You're one of fairy tales recruits and besides we've got someone on our side that knows a whole lot about you. So now I'll ask one more time. What do you want with Kal and you didn't have to result to any of this to get his attention? I thought Fairy Tail's purpose was collecting the magic shells, seems a bit off script."
"Who doesn't enjoy a good plot twist and if you haven't yet figured why I'm here then I'll just have to show you."
Jedah smiled as his wings flapped and the blade over the left side cutting at himself as his blood spewed out over civilians to the Supergirl's left. Right away when his blood made contact with three of them there was an immediate reaction with those three persons becoming bloated and growing in size. The whole time Jedah was with a victorious Merck watching The Infected scream out in pain as they continue to grow.
"What have you done to them, stop this!" Supergirl commanded.
Having the Kryptonian plead like that was pleasant and she could do nothing but watch the victim's explode into a bloody mess and Jedah moaning allowed in exhilaration has he consumed their souls into his very being.
"You're a monster!"
"Monster? No," Jedah shook his head. "I like to think of myself as Makai's salvation for a brighter tomorrow."
Supergirl growled not caring to hear any of what he had to say as she blitzed him head-on and with a hand tightly applied around his throat. She lifted him off the ground just before tossing him up and picking up speed as she punched into his chest and he was sent upward far past the clouds Supergirl following with her next punch he was sent vertical and the sheer power of the strike sending him halfway across the planet and just over the center of the Pacific Ocean.
Kara was immediately on him dishing out punch after punch and increasing the power output to see just how much the enemy could take. Jedah tried finding an opening but at the speed and pace she was moving there weren't very many and options as he was being hit in so many different places in a single instant. With each second she continued to pick up the pace and doing so at such an intensity that shock waves ensued creating miniature typhoons over the ocean surface and waves gliding roughly as if it were a category 3 storm.
Realizing he was getting nowhere and fast, Jedah powered himself up and focusing his telekinetic force and pushing the Kryptonian back. The demon could feel the pain throughout his body and spitting blood, but his body healing instantaneously.
"You think that'll hold me?!"
Supergirl powered out of the telekinetic hold and blitzing Jedah just like he anticipated and wanted her to do. The Kryptonian was just inches of him as he decapitated his own head and his blood spraying all over her.
"Eww, so gross!" Kara shelter stomach grumble in disgust. "He just cut his freaking head off!"
It wasn't a second later that Jedah regenerated and his head falling back into place. Covered in his blood and now with the sight of this almost made her want to retch. And seeing the smirk he so coolly held only made her skin crawl. Right away Kara dove downward into the ocean as she cleaned herself of the blood and returned moments later and Jedah patiently awaiting her.
"Interesting, your biology is quite intriguing. To think you would withstand this long without feeling any effects, outstanding."
She looked him over curiously, pondering what exactly that meant. Not much later did she feel the tightness and uneasiness within her body. It was the oddest sensation and became somewhat agitating the longer she floated and feeling like her very body was increasing size, right down to her very cells. This distress shifted to pain while she gritted her teeth and Jedah noticing as he chuckled.
"What is this... why do I feel this way?"
Her gaze then fell over Jedah but he gave no response and so Kara did the first thing that came to mind flying upward and with Jedah following. This Journey took them up and beyond, through the earth's atmosphere and into the solitude of space. Jedah hadn't any idea what she planned but mostly looked like an attempt at retreating.
Both hovered about and over the Earth so beautiful beneath them and Jedah instantly noticed something about the Kryptonian and what looked to be captivating her. It shined so bright but even he could feel its radiance over his body.
"The sun..."
His eyes narrowed somewhat as he looked back and forth between Supergirl and the spectacle that was the sun. He very simply could have attacked but instead held back and observed the effects of his blood with her body being negated and cancelled. The sun's radiance not only was powering her up, but working as a remedy against blood cleansing it out entirely. Kara-Zor-El felt entirely rejuvenated and 5 times better than she had before.
"Power of the sun, Jedah chortled. "It would appear that what's been said about you kryptonians and your connection to the sun is precise, quite the interesting creatures you are."
Supergirl wasn't there for the in-depth breakdown of Fairy Tale and the majority of its recruits comparing bits and pieces from Kal. But she knew enough and experienced firsthand this foe wasn't to be taken lightly. He not only managed to affect her in ways physically that various others were incapable of, but also showed he could take a good pounding and remain standing.
"Yur done," Supergirl stared right at him with resolve in her eyes. "What you did to those people and what you will do if I allow you to go on... I'm putting you down!"
"Quite spirited but are you sure of that?" Jedah said, amused.
"Watch me!"
Warm-up was officially over and so Jedah powered up and finding himself oddly looking forward to the challenge but with a different mindset then he had coming into the search. Supergirl came at him with her eyes a bright red as she charged up her heat vision. She was just about to a foot from him as she fired off but he dodged to the right and she came at him mercilessly as she tilted her head and grazed his left shoulder with another shot of her heat vision.
But Jedah wasn't on the defense for long following up with his own attack, exposing his blood and creating a scythe which he sent directly at Kara who destroyed the incoming projectile with her own. Jedah showed tremendous speed as he managed to get behind Supergirl and sliced at her back with his claws which tore through her cape and sections of her attire. She quickly spun around and with a thunderclap which knocked him backwards and additional space between them. With his blood in play he created massive fists combined with dark energy which he used to attack her.
One went at her which she ducked under but the second came in the form of an open hand slapping her entire body as she was forced backwards but quickly took control of her momentum and throwing out a punch as her knuckles collided with those of the first sent by Jedah. By the force in which she did so it completely decimated the first and she blitzed over Jedah and throwing out strikes over his body but at a much faster pace and added power than before.
The demon however amped up things slashing and clawing away at sections of her armor using his wings and claws. By means of his telekinetic Force. He took hold of several asteroids and much of them seemingly appearing out of nowhere and while at first it seemed the sizable space rocks were locked onto her, she gathered he had a different target.
"You maniac!" Kara shouted, looking right at him.
"And you've got a shower of asteroids to stop... unless of course you want to see thousands suffer."
Supergirl had a decision to make; take down Jedah himself and hope that the meteors stop, or destroy each singularly. The choice came immediately as she refused to put lives in Jeopardy and truthfully she couldn't say how long it might take to gain victory over the enemy and if in turn the meteor shower would stop. It wasn't worth the gamble and going right to work her enhanced vision picking out the location of each launching from every direction at the globe. There had to be millions and they were all controlled by the demon simultaneously.
The control and focus it must have taken to pull that off, she could only imagine. While she flew off and meeting the meteors head on Jedah watched in anticipation seeing if the kryptonian would be able to pull this off. She quickly increased speed shattering some of the rocks with just her fists, but at the speed in which she moved the meteors were traveling far too quickly and so many that it wouldn't be enough. And with the sun's light shining bright over her body and giving her the super charge she continuously increased her velocity. The kryptonian punched through and wrecking meteors while at the same time using her heat vision to aid in the process.
Jedah observed from afar as she got progressively faster and eventually she was traveling at such a velocity that the whole scene looked like fireworks. By then she was traveling over the speed of light and Shadow but enjoy the show and impressively she cleared away the threat in a matter of just two short minutes.
"Impressive very nice," the demon applauded her but he was immediately knocked off balance as she tore forward.
Kara got off three punches and shoving him back more. Her eyes lit up a bright red as she charged her heat vision again and blasted him in the chest as he was forced further back and his blood splattering out which he then shaped into a massive sledgehammer and using it to whack the kryptonian across the face.
"Silly girl, you believe you have the means in which to defeat me? Your efforts are futile."
Kara didn't listen to anything he said, zooming in on him but the demon was out to prove a point and so the fall of Supergirl began. She came within just a foot of him but then stopped abruptly and her hands over her head as she cried out.
"What's happening to me?!"
Only chuckles came from him as her pain persisted and imagery projected into her mind, some of which her own and others she'd never seen.
"Get out of my head!" Kara yelled.
"Sorry, can't do that. We're just getting started, what do you say we dig deeper, yes? I'll dive into that soul of yours and let's not see if we cannot bring out your true inner darkness."
She aspired and try to fight off the strong hold he had over her mind and spirit, but it was completely useless and so much so that she begged him to stop. He wasn't having any of this as he went deeper and deeper; the demon enjoying every moment of her screams.

Following a successful mission and capture of Tizzy Wilkonson, Bruce revisted to the yokai realm where the suspect was turned over to Hiklorhan law enforcement. His next move was to return to Gotham, but he was invited to the Bloodriver castle by the Dark Lord herself who wanted to meet. They hadn't spoken much since he took on the small investigation and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to breakdown his findings directly to her. The sun shimmered before his eyes, like silky apricot and rose. He could see a path lit by light, and touching down.
Bruce's face warmed and his lips curled into his rare smile when he saw her which brought a grin to Akasha's face. Her heart jumped and this pounding made her head throb and swim with everything that she loved about him. How his presence lit up her mood and made her heart beat wildly, how his confidence radiated like the stars.
Akasha looked gorgeous in a purple, wrap dress. Her pink hair had been blow-dried into glossy waves and looked so soft. The dress clung to her every curve and gave her an eye-popping cleavage. She was so perfect, on the eyes and even he couldn't look passed that. Akasha was almost flawless in every way it seemed, and not just in manifestation. She was genuine, sweet and caring towards her loved ones and strived for a better future for all. Bruce gazed at her with unintended affection which made Akasha feel fluttery warmth in her gut and blushed. Under the festering gaze of his eyes, she felt like a goddess.
In a suit Bruce looked sharp and stylish, the dark color making his bright eyes light up even more. The crisp white shirt was buttoned up to his neck, starched collar close around his throat and secured with a thin black silk tie in a Windsor knot. He looked smart, strong and powerful, all of which he was. The suit was tailored, accentuating slim waist and broad shoulders perfectly. Handsome was too common a word to describe him as all other adjectives left her mind and she realized that whoever became his would be the luckiest woman. Swallowing hard, the vampire locked gazes with him. Smirking softly, Bruce slowly trotted towards her and his hands inside his jacket pockets as he pulled out something.
"So what do you think?" Bruce presented her with a bouquet of gorgeous flowers.
They were standing in a roofless section of the castle surrounded by olive trees and dotted with large, exotic shrubs with flowers of vivid pink and red, through which she could see the lake just over two hundred yards away. The smell of blooming flowers flooded the air. Akasha breathed in and out, feeling relaxed. The sun just starting to set added to the beautiful view. She glanced over at him, momentarily mesmerized by the sun casting him in such a glow… but it wasn't the sun, really it was just him.
The branches of the trees were festooned by a string of tiny white fairy lights and hung with jam jars, each containing a soft glowing candles. There were more candles in storm lanterns on the dining table Akasha's maidens had prepared for them.
"Thank you for these, and for taking up the investigation. I owe you big," she breathed; her eyes were light and dancing, crinkled up at the corners before accepting the flowers.
She took a deep whiff of their scent and admired the roses as though they were porcelain.
"It isn't over yet, you should hold off on any congratulations. When will the interrogation process begin?" Bruce asked.
"It already has," she replied but with her eyes over the flowers.
Akasha then looked up at him and leaning forward, hand curling in his shirt and pressed her soft lips against his mouth and gave him a kiss. Kissing Bruce felt like a revelation, like the sun coming out, like life forming. Bruce stepped back as he grazed the top of his head with a finger and Akasha giggling at the expression he gave off. She then reached out and embraced him in a hug and they stayed like that for a while as she looked up into the sky. Eventually they pulled away from each other and Bruce smiled brightly as he gestured toward the table.
"So…." he said, moving over to her left and an arm around her. "Dinner?"
Still lost in her own thoughts Akasha blinked a couple times, but then she came back to reality and smiled back.
"That's why I called you." she beamed as bright and warm as the sun as they walked towards the table.
Lacing her hand with Bruce's she felt the man's rapid heartbeat from his palm. This made her smirk, to know that she had such an effect on him. Was he nervous? She could only guess. He was the very man she so acclaimed and was growing to ache for him in every day that passed. They walked over to the table, her dress parting to reveal a flash of her leg in stride. The route to the table was lined by candles making everything appear as if he were in a dream. On the table there were silk napkins and matching plates; two enormous plates of grilled lobster topped with garlic butter, salad, a plate of tempura, yakitori, tonkatsu, a big plate of fruits and three deserts. Lastly sat a bottle of cocktail in an ice bucket next to a candle. If he hadn't realized it before then he did now. What he believed to be just a typical sit down and dinner was far, far more romantic than what he was expecting. What was she up to? Bruce looked down on her from the corner of his eye. The Dark Lord appeared chirpy and delighted, not giving off anything out of the ordinary. There was a music system nearby that Akasha started up just as soft music began playing.
Bruce pulled her chair out and held her hand as she sat and the music seemed to tug at Bruce heartstring. Lyric of the song now all seemed to hold a special message. The candles, string lights, and paper lanterns created a warm glow as the daylight faded.
"One question," he sat back in his chair with his arms overlapping atop the table. "Where is all your hired help? I wasn't greeted, nor did I sense a single presence other than yours."
"True, I gave them all the night off after helping with the setup. Even sometimes a Dark Lord needs her privacy," Akasha smiled at him.
"It's just dinner," Bruce responded casually as he sat back.
"Thanks for stating the obvious, detective."
Both laughed together and from then they ate while watching the sunset. Bruce grinned when he heard Akasha let out the most obscene moan he had ever heard from her. And without intent it went straight to his lower extremity. Bruce cleared his plate slowly, and without realizing he kept an eye on Akasha's wine glass as she topped it at regular intervals. He was less generous with his own, or more so didn't drink at all in case something came up and Batman was needed. She finished the whole bottle of delicious champagne on her own before they even started on desert, a simple brownie top with vanilla ice cream, some Dango and crepe.
She ate more than Bruce who at points just watched her but she ended up taking notice of this and with a smile over her lips.
"I didn't invite you here so that you could just watch me," the pink haired vampire chortled.
She repositioned her chair closer beside his and with a spoon in hand and not taking no for an answer she fed him. He mumbled something about taking exactly the right nutrients for a vampire but his eyes were light and crinkling around the corner.
And before he knew it Akasha was out of her chair and in his lap, straddling him as she fed him the last few bites of the dango and his initial thought was to push her away but he stayed seated. She hadn't done anything that suggested seduction and she was clearly just looking to have a good time and so he just went along as she fed him a slice of crepe, which had Bruce closing his eyes and arching his head back in bliss. He enjoyed the meal, not to mention how happy she looked, the warmth and weight of her body over him, the heaviness of her arm around the back of his shoulders. But the more he thought about it, the more he questioned why he was feeling this way in this situation. There should have been discomfort and uneasiness but he didn't feel any of those things.
Not long after that Akasha returned to her own chair and secretly she would have been happy to go for it right there, take him where he sat, though they'd probably have to do it over the ground. There was just no way the chairs in particular, could take the weight of two vampires going at it in full swing. The night was far from done and with the castle to herself for the entire night she looked to take full advantage of this.
"How about a dance?" Akasha stood and with her hand extended outward and in front of him.
Bruce graciously accepted the invitation and stood opposite to her. They moved away from the table together and Bruce pulled her in close and swayed her to the slow music. This was exactly what she wanted, to be with him this close; Akasha just resting her chin over his shoulder and let herself be led. Akasha then began humming along the music before softly singing to him as she looked up. Somehow it touched him deeply in ways that were just so unexpected. He'd never heard her sing before, and her voice was beautiful and so natural. Her voice was warm with love and affection. When invited for dinner and a quick chat he wasn't expecting any of this, and he couldn't say that he hated it. They danced like this for a while and Akasha rubbing up against him and while it was a perfect start there was much more she wanted before the night ended.

He was in the middle of reviewing a story when it sounded, a vehicle exploding over the street, followed by panic. Clark rose from his chair and his eyes closed as he properly determined from which direction it came from and confirming it was from out east, four miles from the Daily Planet. Everyone in the office was busy and occupied and so no one noticed when Clark disappeared. Outside the building and into an alley he made the change of attire. He was on scene in a matter of seconds and couldn't believe what he saw, watching Supergirl lift a vehicle over her head and looking out in the direction of the retreating civilians and throwing it right in their direction, but Superman catching it out of the air before it came down over them. He then slowly lowered it as the crowds applauded him, but his eyes over his cousin.
"Kara!" he called out to her as he flew into the air. "What on earth are you doing?"
Superman was met by a blast of heat vision from her eyes which knocked him out of the air and plummeting over the top of a truck.
"What we should have done long ago, Kal!" her eyes still a bright red. "Why live under their rules and protect them when we have the power of gods! It is us they should be bowing down to and worshipping, I'm going to rid this planet of those not on board and shape it into what it should."
"That isn't you talking!" Superman zipped up into the air and right away knew that something was wrong. "Tell me what happened."
His voice was low and sincere as he slowly hovered towards her, but he was blitzed by his cousin and punched out of the air and planted into the middle of the street as more and more bystanders took off running.
"Get in my way Kal and I'll exterminate you," Supergirl rubbed her hands together with a grin. "Why did that feel so rewarding?"
Superman shook himself off as he pushed out of the small crater created and his fists clinched, but that's also when he looked passed Kara and over a roof where he spotted someone standing with crossed arms.
"I've seen him," Kal's eyes shot open as he thought back to an intel gathering within the watchtower weeks back. "Jedah Dohma."
The demon chortled as he made eye contact with the Kryptonian just before flapping his wings and taking to the air where he sided with Kara. Jedah patted at her left shoulder and smiling devilishly over Superman.
"You, did you do this to her?!"
