The One

The Final Battle

Hope's pov

After talking with George, I head out and get ready to fight him. "You ready?" mom(t) asks and I nod at her. She then holds my hand and squeezes it. "Whatever happens, I want you to fight. Fight for us. Live for us." she says "I promise." I manage to say. I then hug her and dad. "Thank you." i tell them and they tighten their hug. "We love you so much, Hope." dad says. Will and Mia then hugs me from behind. I stay in the moment as it could be my last chance to be with them.

"Hope? You ready?" dad(o) asks. I pull from the hug and I wipe my tears. I nod. I walk away from them and slowly, my hands slip from my parents' grasp. I hear them cry as I walk away.

We head to the city and it was only us. We warned everyone to abandon the city and thank god they all left.

We wonder around the city until we stop at the park near dad's statue. A beam of light comes crashing down from the sky. We prepare to attack for whoever comes out of it. Darkseid and his goons then come out.

"Darkseid." i say to myself. He smiles and sticks his spear to the ground and puts his hand on his back. "Hope." he says smiling. "It's good to see you again." he says as he starts walking around. "I see you've changed. You're vulnerable again. I'm disappointed in you." he says. I the pull my bow at him ready to shoot. He stands at me staring deep looking impressed. "Now you have the guts to shoot me? Just put that down." he says. I suddenly get this feeling I felt when I'm around him. A feeling of command with fear. The fear I felt from him. The feat that I thought was gone centuries ago. The out of control, I suddenly lower my bow. "What?" I thought to myself. "Better." he says smiling.

"Hope. What are you doing?" mom(t) asks from the comms. "I don't- I don't know." I tell her. "Hope are you okay?" mom(k) asks and I nod. I snap back to my senses and pull my bow and shoot at Darkseid. He catches it but the arrow i shot him with explodes. He stumbles back. I grin. He growls. It starts to rain.

His goons then start running at us and fighting us. We fight back.Then, the battle begins.

I reserve my powers specifically just for him. So it can be enough to end him. I run out of arrows so I drop my bow and unsheathe my sword and start killing his goons. I look at Darkseid and he motions for DeSaad who unlike Steppenwolf is a skilled fighter and a master mind manipulator.

He then starts walking towards me. "You disgust me." he says "Oh don't worry. You won't have long to see me." I say as I shoot my last arrow at him. He dodges it. He growls. He points his finger at me and at the next moment, I feel this unbearable pain. I drop my sword and hold my head in pain. I drop to my knees into the mud and shout in pain. "Hope? Hope!" George shouts to me through the comms. "Someone help her!" dad(j) says from the comms. "Hope! We can't get to her! There's to many of them." Uncle Clark says.

How is this happening? I'm already immune to his mind games. I shout more. DeSaad gets closer to me and I can't do anything about it. "Hope. Please. Snap out of it. Please." I hear George through the pain. "I-I can't!" I manage to say. "Please. Focus on my voice." he says begging. "Hope. Please. Focus. You have to snap out of it. Please. I'm here. It's not your time yet. Please fight back. FIGHT! BACK!" he shouts and I do.

I let out a shout and then, the pain was gone. I stand and glare at DeSaad. "How?!" me manages to say. "My team got my back." I say.

I pick my sword up and run towards him. The rain getting stronger. He runs towards me and takes his weapon out. I dodge his attacks but unfortunately, he doesn't. He retreats a bit and glares at me. The next thing i know,  he points to dad(o). He stops fighting then looks at me with fear in his eyes.

He starts shooting kryptonite arrows at me. "Wha-?" I say as I dodge them one by one. "DAD! IT'S ME!" I say but he still continues to shoot me. He then reaches me and grabs me by the neck and throws me to the ground. "I can't stop it!" he says looking at me in pain. He walks towards me and I look at catch a glimpse of DeSaad and I instantly know he's in dad's body. Controlling him. He knows I can't hurt my dad.

I dodge more of dad's attacks. Mom runs towards us and holds dad's body. "Oliver. Try to fight him!" she says as she then hugs dad tightly. "I can't!" he says. He then hits mom on the stomach which makes her stumble back. He takes his arrow out and shoots her. She gets shot on her shoulder. "No! Please. Don't." he begs. "Hope! Please. Stop me!" dad begs to me as I superspeed mom out of the way. I leave her to the side and head back to dad.

"I can't! He's in you!" I say as I hold dad's hands down. "Then end me." he says I stare at him. "No! I'll find another way!" I say. Dad then pulls back and starts punching me. I just dodge it. "Please! I don't want to hurt any of you anymore." dad begs to me. "No. Dad please! I can't kill you!" I tell him. He then takes my sword from the ground and starts swinging it at me. "Please, Hope. I can't hurt any of you. Please." dad then tries to take control of his body for a second. Those seconds were enough for me to take my sword from his hands. "Do it, Hope. Please." He looks at me with tears in his eyes. I shake my head but then he nods. He closes his eyes and runs to me to attack me. "I'm sorry." I say as I run towards him holding my sword up.

Then, I feel my sword hit dad. I open my eyes and dad is spitting out blood. I look at DeSaad and he also was choking out blood. He then drops to his knees and dies.

Dad starts falling to his knees and I hold him. "Oliver!" mom shouts as she runs to us dodging the others, who are still fighting. I kneel beside dad and I take his mask off. "Dad. Dad! Please hold on." I say as I feel tears running down my cheek. He chokes on his blood. "SOMEONE HELP!" I shout but they were all occupied. Mom then reaches me and drops to her knees opposite from me. "Ollie." mom says as she holds dad's hands.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I choke out. Dad then brings his hand up to my cheek and wipes my tears away. "It's okay, Hope. You did what I asked you to do." dad says then he coughs. Aunt Thea then reaches beside me and looks at dad. "Ollie." she manages to say. "Thea. I'm so happy to have all of you here with me." he says as he coughs more blood. "Dad." I say and he looks at me again. "I am so proud of you, my little angel. I regret a lot of things in life but having you was the best thing. I am so proud of who you've grown up to be and I am so happy I get to see you grow up even if it was just for a few years." dad says also crying. "No. Don't say that, Oliver." mom says cupping dad's face. "It's all right, angel. It's alright." dad says as he brushes mom's cheeks. "Take care of her." Dad says as he smiles and then. Then he closes his eyes.

"NONONONO" mom says crying as she shakes dad. My father's dead, lifeless body  because of me. I shout in agony. I then stand and look at he battle. Mom tries to pull me down but I'm not focusing on her. The rain pattering on the ground below me. I hear a muffle sound then our team drops to the floor. I let out all the anger, pain, and suffering in me. I shout and shoot out a strong beam of heat out of my eyes, screaming. Killing all his goons. I then growl and slowly turn to Darkseid.

I walk closer to Darkseid and point my sword at him. He just stands their enjoying what is happening. "You're next." I growl him and he just smiles. "Oh, Hope. You forget who I am. I never lose." he says. He then brings out a button and presses it. I know what it is.

I look up and his ship then starts shooting beams to everyone behind me. Darkseid then teleports out of the place. I turn around fast but when I do, beams of blue light start shooting at my team.

A white light then engulfs my eyes.
