Dark Zeus thrust his hand upward and a long Black Lightning Bolt came from the sky and on Dark Zeus' hand. It looked six foot long metal rod. Dark Zeus thrust it towards Poseidon and a Black Lightning Bolt came from it towards Poseidon. Poseidon deflected it with a.....a trident??
Barry got Nash and Allegra out of their range of fire. Frost shot Ice Knives on Dark Zeus but it didn't affect him at all. Cisco was breaching the black lightning which Dark Zeus was firing on the latter. The black lightning did not affect Dark Zeus.
Barry shouted, "Cisco, try and get Oliver here." "On it" Cisco replied and set to work. Hades had got two swords out of nowhere and was attacking and slashing it at Dark Zeus but it was Zeus he was dealing with. Dark Zeus managed to parry all the attacks and even attack everyone of them. Hades had no option but to stand his guard.
Barry was shaking with, not with fury but with fear. He hadn't felt this in a long time. Just at that time Nash started twitching. "Nash??"Barry asked but then Nash's eyes started blinking red. "Guys, Eobard Thawne is back. He's attacking Nash agin." Barry shouted at the room but everyone was too busy to care. Frost was lying in the MedLab, Poseidon's trident had broken and was wheezing. Only Hades was having some luck. Dark Zeus was sporting three gashes of Hades' sword on his chest.
Nash meanwhile, was sputtering odd words out, "Lisa.....sorry......love......I am.......create......" Barry took Nash's abandoned Pulse Cannon and hit Nash hard on the head. Nash fainted.
Meanwhile, Dark Zeus had finally took over Hades. He went flying through the Cortex and straight out of lab smashing all the walls in the way.
Dark Zeus looked at Cisco who was paralysed, literally paralysed. "Guys, I cannot move." Cisco wept without expression on his face. Dark Zeus pointed his Black Bolt on Cisco and a powerful shock of lightning came from it.
Cisco stared at the lightning in horror as it travelled across the room to kill him. He closed his eyes.......
Few moments later he heard a scream and opened his eyes and saw a horrific scene. Cisco screamed in fury and breached Dark Zeus to an unknown place who for no reason had become stock-still and bleary-eyed.
The room was quiet for some time other than Cisco's sobs. First Dante then HR then Synthia and now..... Cisco cradled Barry's lifeless head. Barry had come in between the Black Bolt which Dark Zeus had fired and Cisco resulting in Barry's smoked up shirt and his skin burned up.
Poseidon got up and said, "We don't have time, Cisco, we can still save him and I know a person who can." "Yeah, who is it?". Cisco looked up and asked. Poseidon looked at him straight in the eye and just said two words. These words were magic for Cisco. Poseidon said, "Severus Snape".
