Cry for Justice - The Conclusion

[dr-black-light.livejournal.com]

As the Canary rounds a corner into a larger hallway, leading to the main monitor room, she feels a sharp, hard knee right into her abdomen, followed by a textbook ipponzei throw that sends her onto her back.

As the heroes whip around, they can see a shape materializing roughly 20 feet down the hallway.

The man that started all this mess.

However, he looks different.   He's clean - shaven.  He's wearing a different version of his long-standing costume.  No fin helmet.  The material of the costume is tougher looking, more combat ready.  

But it's the eyes.  The eyes that show no surprise over their arrival.  In fact, there's a sense of familiarity in them.

This was what he wanted.  This is what they wanted.

Be careful what you wish for.

"Long day?" Light says, smiling.

Light reels under the blows, except the throat shot, which he bends backwards over to avoid. He catches the arm and half-flips, half throws Mid-Nite over the shoulder in a basic ipponzei

Light thinks he's found the frequency again, but it's off just enough that his controls are going to be a bit clunky, like learning to drive a stick shift when you've driven nothing but automatic all your life.

"I bet you say that to all the boys."

The mindworm, however, works fine, as evidenced by Light accessing Mid-Nite's pain sensory and jacking it up to 11, followed by a vicious palm directed right at Mid-Nite's jaw.

Find the calm.

Find the calm, and you work through the pain.

The calm was shattered long ago.

Instead, three of his sharp crescents are in his fingers, slashing wildly across Light's face to try and end the suffering.

The slashes hold true, and cut deep.

But Light is tired of this. He concentrates, harder than normal, and a simple beam of hard light smacks Pieter right on the jaw.

These light-based attacks are hard for him to see, even with the goggles.

He falls to his knees.

He's not out, but he's down...
