The Semi-finals
The semi-finals started, everyone was out of their seats either applauding or roaring their excitement! Roulette had her volume on the screen turned up to MAX!
"That's right, Ladies and Gentlemen!" Roulette yells, "The moment we've all waited for! Whoever wins from the 2 fights shall duke it out for MetaBrawl Champion Title!"
The crowds roars erupting even greater!
"In our first round, we have a good old fashioned catfish between two of these deadly beauties! Cheetah vs Bride!"
The two were soon teleported into their side of the arena. Cheetah readied her claws, The Bride simply cracked her neck before setting into a boxing stance.
"And for our other fight! These two have tangled with the Man of Steel and both have brought Superman to near defeat! Atomic Skull vs Metallo!"
The two were teleported to their side. Metallo chuckled darkly as he moved his knuckles into a cracking motion. Atomic Skull merely grunted and uncrowded his arms, staring into Metallo's artificial eyes with his non-existent ones.
"Let's have a battle to end all battles! FIGHT!"
-Back at the Truck-
Flagg was almost out of ammo from his pistol as he shot at Erick. Luckily, Flagg was more prepared, his gun was of a more powerful calibur and heavier bullets, which were partially effected at keeping Erik at bay, one problem.
"Somebody get me another weapon! I'm almost out!" Flagg yelled at his team.
Nina soon ran to the rifle......only to trip as Erik started rocking the truck with his added weight! Flagg lost his balance and fell towards Erik! The patch-work monster grabbed Flagg by his waist and held the soldier mere inches from his face.
"I trusted you......" Erik muttered, "I trusted you to help me with my wife and you.......BETRAY ME!! Die, worst best friend ever!"
Before Erik could squeeze the life out of Flagg, bullets soon started hitting the Frankenstein Monster, causing him to drop Flagg and shield himself until he lost balance and fell out!
Flagg struggled to breathe, until he looked up and saw a panicking Nina with an assault rifle, it's barrel smoking......he also noticed she was just opening her eyes!
"Did you just shoot at me with your eyes closed!?" Nina shrugged with a worried expression.
"It worked, didn't it?" Before Flagg could retort, the same patch-work arms tore the metal behind Nina! "Nina, watch out!"
Too late, Erik tore through the rest of the wall and grabbed Nina, who he then proceeded to through across the parking lot. Nina was practically turned into a skipping rock because when she barely hit the ground, she was simply back in the air.
Nina finally landed to a stop, almost hitting the wall! Erik then slowly walked towards Nina.
"She is my Bride....." Erik muttered as he marched towards Nina's helpless form, "She will never be-"
HONK!!!!!!!!
Erik stopped when he heard the horn, and turned.......only to get hit face-first and pushed away by a massive tanker, which soon hit the wall!
-Back in the arena-
Cheetah kept moving about the area, pouncing and bouncing around, the Bride having a difficult time to land a hit!
"Excuse my inquiry," Cheetah suddenly said as she was avoiding Bride's attacks, "but are you really the real Bride of Frankenstein?"
Bride scowled at the question.
"People do call me Bride, I use it since I got no other name!" Bride responded, along with faking a punch to grab hold of Cheetah's arm and throwing her across the arena.......only for the furry metahuman to do a mid air flip and land on her feet.
"Your not much of a cat person, are you?" Cheetah mocked, "Cats always land on their feet."
Before she could mock further, Bride tackled her and slammed her into the wall.
As the two femme fatales were fighting, Atomic Skull was having trouble defending himself from Metallo's assault.
"Don't think enhance durability means anything to invincible metal!" Metallo mocked as he grabbed Skull's skull and slammed the radioactive villain into the wall, "Not only do I get the championship, but also the privilege of showing everyone, that I am Superman's greatest oppon-NAW!" Metallo yelled as he pulled his melting hand away, "H-how, I don't understand!"
"Kinda obvious, genius!" Skull responded, surprising Metallo with how much younger he sounded, "You may have Nth metal alloy, but no matter what, metal melts to liquid under extreme heat! And nothing is hotter than radiation!"
Metallo soon backed away, only for Skull to begin his assault. Skull opened his mouth and a stream of green, radioactive flames fired at the Metallo! The cyborg's terrified screams went silent as the flames melted his lower jaw, only for pained, metallic groans to echo through his throat.
Many people in the audience were shocked beyond words, a few trying not to puke. Penguin practically devoured his cigar in pure rage! He knew he should've cut his bets into a fourth!
At the same time, Cheetah broke out of Bride's hold, clawing her face in the process. Cheetah leapt at Bride, clawing at the patch-work woman.
Bride frowned as she kept her guard up.......until she caught a glimpse of Cheetah's tail and grabbed it!
Cheetah let out a meow as Bride proceeded to slam the feline metahuman into the ground and then the wall. Bride's sure she heard an audible crack as Cheetah fell to the ground.
"And just like that, ladies and gentlemen! We have our finalists! Let's let our medical team get whatever's left of the other two!"
Two medical teams came in. One team put Cheetah onto a stretcher, the other were checking to see if Metallo's brain waves are still active.......just barely, good enough. They had to use a tow truck to get his melted body out of the arena.
The wall between Atomic Skull and Bride sunk into the ground and the two made eye contact.
"This the first time these two are meeting, and tensions have never been higher! Who will come out on top! The iconic monster of legend or will Atomic Skull get another championship title under his belt!"
Bride spit some blood out from her mouth while Skull was cracking his knuckles.
"Fighters ready! Ready.........FIGHT!"
-Back at the Truck-
The tanker that hit Erik now pinned the patch-work monster into the wall, his left arm useless as it was pinned but his right arm was already digging his fingers into the truck.
As Erik attempted to remove the tanker, the driver door opened, revealing the Question, holding his arm due to crash. He was limping towards Nina, who immediately rushed to him and put his arm over her shoulder. She found it odd he didn't have a face.......but she's a fish woman with a girlfriend made of various corpses so whose she to judge.
"Thank you....." Nina decided to say.
"Just.......protecting my client....." Question responded, earning Nina's curiosity. She decided not to focus on it as Erik was slowly pushing the tanker away from him.
Nina got Question to the truck, and went to look for G.I.Robot and Weasel.
"G.I! Weasel!" Nina yells until she felt something hit her foot, she looks down and sees G.I.'s broken leg, as well as his mangled body.......his mangled, headless body.
Nina was going to freak out till she heard a slight whimper from under a car. Nina crouched down and looked under the car.
"Weasel?" Nina looked under the vehicle, her hand held out palm up. She waited......until she saw the tip of Weasel's snout, "Weasel! You're alright!"
Her mood improved greatly when she watched as Weasel crawled out from under the car......with G.I.Robot's head.
"G.I!" To say she was relieved was an understatement, "You're alright.......kinda....."
"Friend Nina! Erik whose similar to a Nazi snuck upon G.I.Robot and he was unable to defend himself. G.I.Robot apologizes for his incompetence." G.I. apologized to Nina.
"Don't worry, G.I.," Nina assured, "we never expected Erik to be free this soon. Let's get out before Erik gets free."
Nina and Weasel ran back to the torn apart truck as Flagg was able to get it started. As Nina entered the truck, until she saw Question rummaging through the cabinets.
"What are you looking for?" Nina asked.
"A lighter or a match...." Question answered. Nina shrugged and brought out the medkit and pulled out the flare gun.
"Will this work?" Question turned and saw the flare gun in Nina's hand.
"Definitely!" Qusetion snatched the flare gun, pointed it towards the tanker Erik almost had off him and Question fired at the puddle of gasoline, igniting it, "Drive fast! Now!"
Flagg slammed his foot on the gas pedal and the truck sped out of the lot.
"Someone contact the others and tell them the situation!" Flagg ordered.
Nina and Question started rummaging through the remaining debris of their communication equipment. As they search, they noticed the massive explosion behind them.
"Oh God, I hope Bride is having an easier time." Nina said outloud.
-Back in the Arena-
Bride and Atomic Skull stared eachother down before they charged at eachother!
Only for the ceiling to be destroyed, Skull and Bride had to avoid the falling debris before they looked up and found the reason for the destruction of the roof.
"Oh shit....." Bride muttered as she saw four figures hovering over everyone like they were gods: Green Lantern John Stewart, Wonder Woman, Superman, and Martian Manhunter.
The crowd started running......until the doors are blocked by Nightwing, Flash, and the rest of the League and the Teen Titans.
"Well, things just got more interesting...." Humanite mutters.
