The Girl Of Stage [English]

30. The first battle

A week had passed. The Anti-Monitor was supposed to arrive at this earth any day now. Marley was okay. She recovered pretty fast. They had all trained an entire week and they were all ready for the big fight that was coming. Even Marley got a little training, even though Millie protested. But it wasn't getting better with her mental health. ''Kara, Kara'' Oliver said, grabbing her arm. They walked away from the group. ''What is it?'' she asked. ''Look, I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, but it's Marley. She's not battle proof when she can't take care of herself. She's sick and we need to take care of her'' Oliver said. Kara glanced at Marley. She was talking to Felicity and she was laughing. Then she turned back to Oliver. ''You're right, but how can we make her ready for this fight when we don't even know how we're going to defeat it?'' Kara asked. ''The Anti-Monitor is almost here and I know we can't defeat him without Marley, but of she goes out on the field she will die. We have to do this without her'' Oliver said. Kara nodded. It was too dangerous. And besides, Millie would never let her go.

''The Anti-Monitor is here'' Cisco said and looked like he had seen a ghost. ''Okay, listen everyone. We got this. We find his weakness and destroy him now. Marley, you have to stay here. For the others, suit up!'' Oliver said. ''That's not fair! I have trained for this'' Marley protested. ''You're not ready for a fight this big. And you're not well yourself'' Oliver said and suited up. ''I don't really like him'' Marley said to Kara. ''He's right'' Kara said. ''You too?''

''Look, we're all just concerned for your safety'' Kara said and suited up as well. Marley had no other choice then stay behind with Felicity and Cisco.

Felicity sent the coordinates to the team. The plan was clear. Kick his ass back to no where.

''What is he doing?'' Oliver asked. They saw him from a distance and he hadn't noticed them yet. ''Let me check'' Barry said and sped to him. But the Anti-Monitor wasn't stupid. He knew what the Flash was capable of. He raised his hand and Barry tripped. ''How the hell?'' he wondered out loud. Oliver was ready to fight. ''When the Monitor first brought you here he said this earth was special. This earth couldn't get destroyed'' The Anti-Monitor started. Oliver threatened him with one of his arrows. The Anti-Monitor was standing with his back to the group. ''But now it will get destroyed too. I would hurry up if I were you'' he laughed. Oliver let go of his arrow. The Anti-monitor turned aroud and stopped it within a second. ''You can't take all of us'' Oliver said as he grabbed a new arrow. ''Are you sure?'' he asked. Then he clapped his hands. Every alien fell on the ground. Supergirl. Superman. Dreamer. J'onn.

Then the Anti-Monitor released a lot of flying monsters. They attacked the superfriends. With the alians down it was hard to fight them all. Oliver shot a lot of them. ''You have to go!'' Oliver said. ''What do you mean?'' Barry asked. ''The Anti-matter wave is coming. I'll stop these, you guys need to go, somewhere safe!'' Olvier shouted. ''Where can we go this wave won't come?'' Barry asked. ''The vanishing point! It's outside time and space'' Sara yelled, while fighting two of those monsters. ''Go'' Oliver said. ''Not without you!'' Sara yelled. ''Sara, this is my destiny'' Oliver said, ''take all the Paragons. You can stop this.''

''Not without you. You're a Paragon too!'' Barry yelled. ''No, Barry, I am not a Paragon. He lied'' Oliver said. For a moment the monsters disappeared and they could talk and rest for a moment. ''What?'' Sara asked. ''I am not a Paragon. I knew it all along'' Oliver sighed. ''Why did you lie?'' Barry asked. ''Because I am destined to die and you wouldn't listen'' Oliver explained. It was a lot for them to take in. ''Oliver'' Sara couldn't think of that right now. ''Who is the other Paragon?'' Barry asked. ''It's Thea.''

''Does she know?''

''I didn't want to involve her, because I was worried about her. But now I realize that I'm the one putting you all in danger'' Oliver said. ''Where is she?'' Sara asked. ''I asked Felicity to get her as soon as we left'' Oliver said, ''she should be at Marley's home now.''

''We're not leaving you'' Sara said as she saw hundreds of new monsters coming. ''Go to Marley's home and then to the Vanishing Point. I'll keep them at distance. I love you both'' Oliver said, hugging Sara and Barry. Tears were in Sara's eyes. Oliver nodded. This was the right way. He turned around and grabbed three arrows at once.

The alians woke up. ''We need to go'' Sara said, helping Kara stand. ''I don't understand, what's happening?''

''There's no time to explain'' Sara said as she saw one monster fly towards them. Kara saw it too and used her heat vision to destroy in. ''Let's go!'' Barry yelled and everyone retreat. Except for Oliver. He stayed behind. He was a true hero. Sara looked back one more time. All she wanted was to save him from those monsters. But she knew she couldn't interfere with his choice. She learned a lot from him since the Island and she didn't know what the future was holding for him. Maybe they could still save him. But for now they needed to go to the Vanishing Point. ''I have to go back!'' Barry said suddenly as he turned around. ''This is his choice. You have to let him'' Sara said, holding him back. A tear dropped down Barry's face. ''But-''

''Come on'' Sara said, pushing him the other way. Barry still couldn't believe what was happening.

They all felt the anti-matter wave coming. They needed to hurry. Because if they all died, then what was the point?
