A scream of agony tore through the battlefield.
Green Arrow collapsed, his body convulsing as blood poured from the stump where his right hand used to be. His bow clattered to the ground, utterly useless now. His face twisted in shock, pain, and disbelief.
His body trembled, his breath ragged as he stared at the gory remains of his severed hand, twitching on the ground near Nuxsus' feet.
Nuxsus merely grinned, lifting his foot before crushing the severed hand beneath his boot, grinding it into the dirt.
"Oops. Guess you won't be firing any arrows now."
"AAAAARGHH!" Oliver roared in pain, gripping his bloody wrist as his knees hit the ground.
Across the battlefield, Hal Jordan's entire body tensed.
His eyes flickered to Oliver's fallen form—his teammate, his friend, now maimed beyond repair.
Something inside him snapped.
The air hummed with energy as Hal's emerald aura flared like wildfire, illuminating the entire battlefield in a sickly green glow. A deep, guttural rage twisted in his chest, his breathing sharp and erratic.
His ring pulsed violently, reacting to his overwhelming emotions.
Nuxsus turned his gaze toward Hal, watching as the Green Lantern trembled with fury, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white beneath his glowing aura.
Then—
"YOU SON OF A—!"
With a thunderous explosion of willpower, Hal launched forward, his entire body encased in a massive, blindingly bright construct of a war mech.
Nuxsus grinned wickedly.
This was what he wanted.
'Let's break him completely'
...
Hal barreled forward, his body now encased in a towering emerald war mech, its mechanical limbs lined with missile pods, shoulder cannons, and energy blades.
BOOM!
He threw a colossal punch, aiming to crush Nuxsus like an insect.
But the moment before impact—
Nuxsus twisted his body, effortlessly evading it.
The ground exploded as the massive green fist obliterated everything in its path, sending shockwaves across the battlefield.
Nuxsus landed a few feet away, stretching his arms casually.
"Sloppy." He smirked, voice laced with mockery. "You're supposed to be the best.....The Green Lantern, right? Looks like you're fighting like a rookie."
"RAAAGH!"
Hal roared, creating a dozen massive energy chains that shot out toward Nuxsus.
Nuxsus vanished in a blur of lightning.
The chains crashed into the ground, leaving craters where he had once stood.
Hal barely had time to react before—
"Behind you."
A sharp, burning pain exploded through his back as Nuxsus' Blades of Chaos raked across his spine, searing through both his uniform and his flesh.
"AAAGH!" Hal grunted, stumbling forward.
His ring reacted instantly, morphing his construct suit into a full-body energy shield, covering himself from further attacks.
But it didn't matter.
Nuxsus was toying with him.
Effortlessly.
Across the battlefield, Batman abandoned his fight with Harley, realizing Hal was in deep trouble.
He sprinted toward the enraged Lantern, voice sharp with urgency.
"HAL! STOP! YOU'RE LOSING CONTROL!"
But Hal didn't hear him.
His rage clouded his judgment, his attacks becoming wild and reckless.
Batman cursed under his breath. Damn it.
Nuxsus was manipulating him....
Hal ignored Batman, pouring all his willpower into one final assault.
His entire body glowed brighter than ever before.
Then—
A flurry of massive energy weapons materialized in the air.
Swords, spears, cannons, hammers—dozens of constructs, all pointed at Nuxsus.
"DIE!" Hal roared, unleashing them all at once.
A blinding barrage of emerald destruction rained down.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The entire battlefield shook as explosions of green light engulfed everything.
For a moment, nothing could be seen beyond the sheer radiance of the attack.
But as the smoke cleared...
Nuxsus was standing.
Completely unharmed.
Hal's eyes widened in shock.
"How?!"
Then he felt it.
PAIN.
A sharp, agonizing slash across his right thigh.
SCHRRIP!
His leg...his actual leg....had been severed.
Blood sprayed as Hal let out a horrified scream, collapsing to one knee.
Before he could even react, his ring...desperately trying to compensate for his loss—created a glowing green prosthetic limb.
But the pain remained.
Nuxsus stood over him, grinning as if this was all just a game to him.
"Hah! You're falling apart, Lantern."
Hal snarled, conjuring a colossal hammer and swinging it with everything he had left.
But Nuxsus...lightning-fast....disappeared.
Then...
Lightning Step.
He blinked behind Batman.
Batman, sensing the movement, instinctively dodged, rolling forward.
But Hal..still blinded by rage...didn't realize what was happening.
When Nuxsus lunged toward Batman, Hal reacted instantly.
Without thinking, he threw himself forward, attempting to shield Batman.
And that was the moment he fell into the trap.
Volt Claw.
Nuxsus' lightning-coated claws slammed into Hal's back, sending surges of electricity flooding through his body.
Hal's entire body convulsed violently, his ring flickering, his constructs dissipating.
Then, before he could recover—
Storm Chains.
The Blades of Chaos shot out, their chains wrapping around Hal's body like a serpent.
Hal realized too late.
"N—NO!"
Nuxsus yanked.
SCHRRRRRIP!
Green Lantern was torn apart.
His body ripped into multiple pieces, shredded by the scorching-hot chains. Part by Part, Limb by Limb, torn to literal pieces
His ring, once glowing brilliantly, flickered and fell lifelessly to the ground, rolling to a stop in front of Batman.
Silence.
For the first time, Batman was frozen in pure horror.
His chest heaved.
His mind...so sharp, so calculating...was completely blank, He had just witnessed Hal Jordan die, His long time partner...His Friend
The battlefield had gone eerily quiet.
Then..laughter.
Nuxsus' laughter.
It started as a low chuckle.
Then a full, maniacal cackle echoed through the battlefield.
The Lord of Chaos stood victorious...
Harley's giggles followed, and before Batman could move...
A brutal swing of Harley's bat smashed against his skull.
Batman staggered, his vision swimming, the world spinning.
Through blurred eyes, he barely made out Nuxsus stalking toward him, like a predator closing in.
A cold voice reached his ears.
"Tell me, Bat... how does it feel to be powerless?"
Nuxsus took slow, deliberate steps toward Batman, his presence looming like an executioner approaching the condemned. His eyes burned with amusement, but beneath it lay something darker—finality.
"I did warn you last time..." he mused, his voice eerily calm, yet dripping with cruel satisfaction. "If we ever met again, I wouldn't be as generous... or merciful."
He tilted his head, watching as Batman struggled to rise.
"But you didn't listen."
With a flick of his wrist, the Blades of Chaos extended once more, their infernal chains clanking ominously. He lifted one of them, aiming directly for Batman's heart.
"Now... I guess it's time to end it."
Just as he was about to strike—
His Mind's Eye flared.
Danger. Immediate.
His body reacted before his mind could fully process the threat. He jerked backward instinctively, narrowly avoiding a force that blasted through the battlefield like a crimson hurricane.
A blur of red streaked past him—too fast to track.
Then—
Harley was gone.
Her body was violently flung across the battlefield, disappearing into the distance before Nuxsus could even blink.
His eyes snapped back toward Batman—only to see him vanish.
Not just him—Green Arrow's broken form was gone too.
A scowl formed on Nuxsus' lips as he turned toward Hal Jordan's torn corpse, his irritation growing.
Then he saw him.
Standing over the fallen Lantern.
The newcomer's posture was rigid, his gloved fists clenched so tightly they trembled.
A red suit clung to his frame, sleek and form-fitting, broken only by a bold yellow lightning bolt emblazoned across his chest. His eyes—hidden behind his mask—still managed to convey everything.
Sadness.
Anger.
Disappointment.
Then, finally—pure rage.
The man's voice was low, almost a whisper, yet it carried a venomous promise.
"You..."
His breathing was ragged.
"I will..."
Lightning crackled around his body.
"Kill you."
