Chapter 6: I am unleashed.

**This is Chapter 5, with a different ending. Diablo will not die in this one**

"It's not real." Diablo moved from me, going to help the others. "I killed the Bat." Deadshot said, still in it. "Nah, homie. You don't want that." "What? I want that." Harley said, coming out of it. "She trying to play games with you, man. It's not real!" "He's right. It's not real." Flag said and we all walked out together, confronting her. "How long have you been able to see?" She asked Diablo, who was taking charge. "My whole life. You can't have them. These are my people right here." "But it is our time. The sun is setting, and the magic rises. The met humans are a sign of change."

"Lady, you are evil!" Deadshot shouted at her. She spoke in a different language pointing to the side, where a huge thing came out. "It's gonna be bad!" "We should run!" Flag began to shoot at it, it threw its arms out, firing these wire things at us. We ducked, then took cover behind a statue. None of our weapons were affective on him, Flag was telling us, "We gotta get him in that corner. That's where the bomb will be." "I'll do it! I'll get him there." I whipped my head around, hearing Diablo's voice and grabbed his arm. "Don't!" "I gotta do this. I'll be back." he kissed me hard, before speaking again, "I lost one family. I ain't gonna lose another one."

"Look, think it through." Deadshot was trying to tell him. "I got this. Let me show you what I really am." he looked at me one last time, smiling a small smile before taking off. "Over here!" he shouted, throwing his hands up and blasting the creature with fire. A moment it looked like it was working, but he kicked Diablo over, the fire dying off. "Diablo, no!" I shouted, grabbing my whip and went to go after him. Deadshot caught my waist and held me back. "Let me go!" he tossed me to Flag and went to shooting at the thing as the others began to attack again.

I broke free of Flag and whipped it out and around it's arm, tearing it off. It just grew right back and hit me hard, sending me flying into a broke pillar. "Shadow!" I heard someone call my name and when I sat up, I saw Diablo yell out and get up, transforming into a flaming creature huge and nothing but bones. He was speaking Spanish, which I understood, "It's on bitch." the thing tried shooting the wires out again, but Diablo's flames were bright blue, instantly burning them before they could reach him. They began a fist fight, Diablo landing the first few blows.

It seemed to be an even match, I couldn't get to my feet, my legs were so shaky. "Diablo, drive him into the corner!" Flag called out and I knew the bomb was ready, all Diablo had to do was get clear. Diablo yelled as he pushed him back, but the creature got in a punch, stopping him. Diablo ripped the thing's chest open and rammed his hands inside, melting him from the inside, fire shooting out it's mouth. "Get him, mate!" "Come on!" "Yeah, do it!" I saw his flames dying out, he was losing his power. I somehow found my feet and stumbled forward, grabbing a bench.

Diablo wasn't going to be able to keep it up much longer, I needed to do something. "Shadow, no!" I heard Deadshot shout and realized my body was moving on it's own. I sliced at the creature's face, making him back off Diablo as he continued to flame out. "Diablo, Shadow! Get out of there!" Flag yelled, but the creature still had enough power to rip my whip from my hands and toss it to the side, useless now. "Shadow, get away!" Diablo yelled at me, trying to get up and protect me. "I said not to be a hero." "That doesn't mean you get to die for us!" I shouted back, ducking under the wire thing again.

I grabbed Diablo's shoulder and pulled him up, kissing his lips quickly before throwing him to the side, nodding to Flag, who ordered the bomb to be blown. Diablo shouted for me as I closed my eyes, feeling the power taking over in reaction to my body needing the protection. The blast hit me, yet all the pain I felt quickly warped into power, allowing me to survive and speed out of the way. The bomb destroyed the creature as I spun into a room, turning all the pain into power. I was almost at 100%, almost at doing anything I wanted. Diablo's footsteps came toward me, his voice calling out my name.

"Over here. I'm fine." I told him, standing up tall and letting the power flow through me. He stared for a moment, unable to believe what he was seeing. I looked into a shard of glass, seeing myself at almost full power. My eyes were solid black, dark pools of nothing. My tan skin seemed to ripple, like the power was trapped under my flesh and wanting to get out. My clothes were almost gone, just enough to cover me still, my hair down swirling around me like it had a mind of its own. "Shadow, get control." "Diablo, move. I'm not sure what I will do. It's time to end this." "Woman, listen to me. Don't lose it."

I walked past him and picked up my whip as I continued forward, the others beginning to fight off the Enchantress. I wrapped my whip around her leg, dragging her over to me. "What are you?" she asked as I gripped her neck. "I'm the end." I went to crush her throat, but she vanished and focused on trying to get the others killed before she went after me. "Let this end!" I called out and sent a blast of power out, knocking everyone down and slamming her into the stairs. I walked over, using my whip to rip open her chest. "I almost lost someone I care for. Because of you. Your heart is mine now." I tore it straight from her chest, tossing it away as she gasped for breath and fell down.

I went to finish her off, but Diablo's flames hit me from behind and I turned to face him. "Come on Shadow. Come get me." I growled and began to walked toward him, feeling his power yet unable to feel the strength of it, nothing could harm me now. He backed off, nodding to the others to finish the Enchantress. "Diablo, why would you attack me? Do you not care for me as I do you?" "Girl, you know I do. But I don't want you to destroy yourself." he held up his hands, dousing his flames and just staring at me. "Get control of it. It's over, you did good."

There was a blast from behind me, the machine was destroyed by the others, I saw something heading straight for Diablo and moved with my speed to take the blow, sending us both flying into a wall and I felt my power give out on me, completely leaving me as I gasped for breath. "Shadow?" I blinked, feeling the pain in my chest, yet no power came with it. "D-Diablo?" "Yeah, I'm here, just stay still. I'll get it out." I wasn't sure what he was talking about, but felt more pain as he did something to my stomach. "Y'all alright?" I heard footsteps and voices. "She's hurt." Diablo told them as they saw me, I felt wetness on my body, but I assumed it was the water from earlier.

"Damn, that's bad. Is she going to make it?" "Yeah, she is a survivor, she can survive anything. Right Shadow?" I blinked, my vision a bit blurry as Diablo's eyes found mine. "Use the power, don't leave me." I shook my head. "It's gone. I can't feel it anymore." I choked out, feeling like I was going to lose him, lose everything. Diablo took my hand as I attempted to raise it, I saw it was covered with blood, I had to be losing a lot. "Go guys, get outta here!" Diablo told them, this pressed his lips to my forehead. I heard their footsteps leaving, but it was beginning to get hard to hear anything.

"Diablo…it's too late." I breathed, feeling my body get cold and limp. "Don't you dare give up. Girl, you are staying with me." he pulled me closer to him. "I love you damnit. I ain't losing you now." "I love you too. I'm sorry." I touched his face with my bloody hand before my world went black. 'You are so weak. Can't do anything without me. I won't let you die. Open your eyes!' I felt a ripple go through me and my eyes shot open as I coughed. "Shadow!" I heard Diablo's voice and looked around for him. He was crying, but smiling. "God damn girl, I thought you were gone!" he hugged me tight, telling me he wasn't letting me go ever again.

"Hold on." I said and adjusted myself so I could get to his neck. "This might hurt." I whispered and dug into his skin, tearing it open and pulled out his bomb. I did myself and he just stared. "Smarts. I got them and can take out the bombs without detonating them." I explained I tossed them away from us and sank back into his arms. "Just relax, I got you. We getting out of here." I lifted me into his arms and stood up, kissing me deeply before walking out of the building, leaving the others and heading out into the world to start a new life together. We would always remain together, forever.
