God Killing, Part 8: Kill Deathstroke

Play "Electro Showdown (both parts)" from Amazing Spider-Man!

Slade dodged Fybi's first arrow, flicking a barrage of Finger Pistols. Fybi simply flew further back, but Slade remotely controlled his ship to pursue. With swings of the legs, Fybi stirred currents of air and "kicked" Slade with gusts. Once close, Slade Shaved behind her, and when she retreated, his Shaves allowed him to catch up. Fybi spun a ball of hot air and kicked it at Slade's head right as he appeared. The assassin gagged on the heat, but maintained his altitude and slashed Tempests at the Nimbi. She simply flowed with the wind displaced by his cuts and evaded, but Slade changed position above her and used Finger Pistols. Fybi thought she tanked some hits... but didn't quite feel the pain. "!" Slade's Humming Bird illusion deceived her, allowing him to Shave behind and PUNCH her with an electrified fist. Fybi fell a far distance, but Skaios flew underneath to catch her. He quickly took her far away when Slade tried to attack.

"Aren't you gonna help, little godling?!" Slade boarded his ship and flew after them. Fybi recovered and bent a cloud together, striking several bolts, but Slade endured them. He caught a bolt on his fingers and redirected it back.

Skaios tanked the shock. "I ain't supposed to hurt mortals no more!"

"Then just let me kill you!" Slade's next Tempest was imbued with his red electricity, Fybi dodging above it and shooting a charged arrow. Slade endured and leapt at her, Fybi dodging to shoot—she hit an afterimage, but when Slade tried to kick her from behind, she evaded and reactively shot his good eye. However, Slade used Life Return to retract the eye into his head, negating worse damage. "Dealing with Regigigas' electric robot left a good impression on me!" With his power channeled to his fingers, Slade flicked faster Pistols that appeared as mini bolts. Fybi flew farther away—BAM, Slade Shaved beside her and used Gun Snap immediately, startling Fybi. She was grabbed and, "AAAAHH!" electrocuted in Slade's grasp.

"HYAH!" Phosphora kicked down at Slade's arm, but Slade maintained his grasp and grabbed the Birkan's leg. Slade threw both girls downward, with Skaios struggling to grab and hold either of them in one tiny hand.

"Damn! Fybi!" Maddy cursed, hands linked with Lucci's lion claws. Behind them, Zach and Wade were locked in a gag of juggling chess-playing elephants.

"Your airbending is good, but your heart too soft!" Slade yelled. "We're from two different worlds, child! I'd sooner have that Murphy or Cherry boy for a fight."

"Sorry, pal, I'm a ladies' man!" Cheren's Haki was sharpened on Akame, tracking her swift motions and blocking her sword when ready.

"I know, you should see his phone book." Viridi remarked.

"You only wish you were in it!"

"By the way, who is this Michelle?" Slade asked. "And why would I want to target her?"

"That needst not concern thee!" Fybi affirmed. "Thou art stronger than I anticipated... so, mayhaps we shalt end this swiftly. Skaios?"

"Aye-aye!" Skaios tossed Fybi his Spirit Ball.

"What?!" Slade gasped.

"Ha ha!" Fybi threw it back and hit Skaios. The god burst into air and was sucked inside.

Fybi captured a NEWBORN! He'll just take whoever's convenient!

"You mean you... are that thing's Guardian?"

Fybi popped it open, freeing Skaios. "Ay'm me own Guardian, matey! Ay get to choose whoever I want! But if Ay give me power to anyone, best be an airbender!" Skaios glow and channeled a flow of chi onto Fybi.
