A Moment in Time

Descend of the Darkness

A no wasn't always a word anyone could accept, the fact that they've already tried to destroy the earth the moon and the universe as well, all this to add up with running the Delphos company.

Tsuki Miki Delphos was following along with some assistants who were doing the company's monthly report.

A tall man of 1.80 in height, with long white hair, with a beautiful and muscular body who was running around, being praised by his aides and

In the midst of arriving at the company meeting, Tsuki Miki Delphos was at the shareholders' meeting solving problems in the boardroom, it was an ordinary day, if his city wasn't home to the supernatural, lived under a mystical fissure, and he wasn't going through a difficult time.

In addition to the fact that the Delphos company was administering and mediating a peace agreement between the dark gods and the forces of good, they were also organizing the end of year festivals.

He was being courted by the king of all monsters; the ancient god called Darkness.

Daily, he thought that the ancient god would just try to destroy the land countless times, he would be stopped, but no, he accepted his own advances.

Being chased by a god was new to Tsuki Miki, he was trying to avoid closed places, lately it was that, or just hide.

The mediators, ambassadors and representatives of the king of darkness, lord of vampires and werewolves who previously was trying to invade the human world, now that he was keeping life distant, sending chocolates, if that wasn't enough, he fought with his girlfriend, even though he was from facade.

On average and his failed relationships, this was the record 6 months of dating, until being together was an evolution, until simply, he was led to the voice of reason that said an international thief was not a good match.

All in his life, he had more than he could say, manage, being trained as long as he remembered he could walk, so he could take control of the organization, plus he was being probed by Um-Mu's order, if not for the fact that that same order wanted to bring him and the dark lord together, this was not normal, but it was the first time, that a man even his enemy and destroyer of humanity wanted him.

It was a period when he faced the dark world, and saw something that only the other versions would see, it changed his pragmatic mind into something more interesting to see and do...

Tsuki Miki realized he had trouble connecting, his connection having a relationship with the reformed thief known as the Panther Woman, he realized it was more... sexual, not emotional, he had trouble connecting, so he went to make a plan to put an end to this situation between them...

Vampires and werewolves had a home with the city since ancient times, at that time, when they were resolving business in his company, he received a bouquet of forest, it was no wonder, in addition to various gifts and chocolates in his house, that he had to store in the big freezer.

Lately, even the demons had an interest in raising the city from corruption and human decay and taking it out of the control of the mafia and crime, there was a strange interest there.

Sometime later...

Tsuki Miki had to save the world, sometimes he expected Felicity to be relatively well in the mansion, or looking around the cave, but that's not what he found...

When he arrested those villains, bound towards the police station, arriving at the cave with his limousine.

He had a number of problems, in which he was convinced by a demon to get rid of his persecutor who suddenly drugged him, slept with him and got pregnant.

- The proof of this was that he was called to the police station, it didn't take less than six months for the scammer to be arrested in one of her robberies around the mystical city.

That afternoon.

After arriving from Delphos company.

Gerard was waiting for him.

- There's a problem, sir. - Said his faithful butler, he had barely arrived from his company at the end of a mission in the mystical dimension.

It was when he was returning from the transport center to rescue Karina that he was taken to the realm of Akropolis, between the dark dimensions and space, he felt guilty, and wanted to talk to the butler, but the air of the question, made him stop and stop your thoughts and guilt.

- What there was? – He questioned.

- Felicity was arrested. - Said Gerard, he realized that by the air of the word.

- Because Felicity was arrested...? – Tsuki Miki questioned walking towards her old friend.

- She was stealing. – Said Gerard.

- Which? "That was the worst..."

Tsuki Miki was at the police station, a few hours later, he asked to enter the interrogation room, hours after she was released.

He had a plan to get rid of some of his problems.

Being able to say that what the police did not do, Tsuki Miki did, without being guilty of domestic violence of assault on women, much less femicide, he had Amasteus by his side, making it clear that nothing he did would get out of there.

Being able to say again, that she cried with pain and he with anger.

- You don't pay attention to me. - Felicity screamed.

- Women don't go out on the street to steal because their husbands don't pay attention. - Said Tsuki Miki.

- You lost our son. - He shouted.

- My body my Rules. - Said Felicity.

- Not when you have a baby inside. – Rebutted Tsuki Miki.

- Since we are talking about my body my rules. – Said Tsuki Miki, when she received a spat, after being slapped in the face.

- You want attention. - Said Tsuki Miki roared.

- So, I'll pay attention. - Said Tsuki Miki.

Then Tsuki Miki was turning her on his knee to spank her, only it didn't do more because when he took off his pants belt to hit her, which wasn't the drop, amidst Felicity kicking, and trying to get away to get punched in your face, so that in itself was the last straw.

In the end, she left there crying, at that moment, there was no evidence, bribing police and justice to cover up her lack of control.

At that time, when she was caught red-handed, and he didn't even think about getting her out of there, the anger and betrayal were greater, in reality, he talked to Amasteus, an old lawyer from his parents' time, he helped him to cover up the beating.

In the end, no one believed her, when she screamed that she was beaten by her husband, they put in the corpus delicti examination that the injuries were all due to falling through the roofs in the middle of the escape.

He would keep them away, so, there in the middle of the prison he knew that when she fell into the media, in which she would be arrested, she would try to escape, she was burned in the middle of the thieves, in which she would have a measure of removal.

So when those papers arrived when Felicity was still awaiting trial inside jail, this time he would make sure she stayed there for at least a year, as the reports said that Felicity had a fit and almost ate the removal papers, that he left there in front of him, if it were possible, he would not see her for a long time.

He had his escapes, but he didn't get caught, Tsuki Miki should have known that nothing between them would work, which even what Felicity did, helped and gave an excuse to end everything that could happen, she would be the one he's a thieving thief and wouldn't give a man a whack or drug him for the next year.

It was six months of an unhappy relationship, in addition to a chase between a Stalker that made his life as bad and unhappy as possible, in general opinion, not that it was bad actually, but there were countless rumour's, in which the divorce was quick and fell into mouth of the people, the media fell on them, all because a reporter friend of his after much blackmail and men who came to light of events with Leticia's help leaked in some way that he never came to understand.

There were those who came up there in the middle of the trial, claiming that they were Felicity's lover, from villains, to pickpockets, who had occasional deals, which in the end turned into a circus, he was the cuckold, all of that, all the secrets of what she was supposed to be. did on his back.

All her secrets that she supposedly did were unearthed, by him and Amasteus, even though Gerard travelled, practically drugged and put on a plane with a security guard to prevent him from returning before two years.

It was, in general opinion, a quick marriage, unlike Felicity, who was caught in the middle of a robbery, along with two other villains, it was the Cat Man and the Calendar Man.

In addition to his contact with a thief and informant from the underworld, called Nightcrawler, who had a scheme of manipulations between an information network, using this to manage to escape, but were caught by Dark-Dragon in his escape, which he did along the way. back, when he arrived from Akropolis, when he least expected it to happen so, so, soon.

Felicity, in turn, fell between alleys, when a policeman was shooting in her direction, even without knowing it, he could have caught her, halfway through Gotham, when she was returning, so, as incredible as it seemed, they would testify against her. , all for a witch hunt, of hooded thieves.

Decreasing their sentence, using her as if they knew the creator of the largest diamond in the world, and the British crown jewels, that she was the mastermind of the crime.

According to her, she shouldn't be caught, which at that point, she wore a panther outfit, to differentiate from the Cat Woman, as if another cat outfit with electric weapons, was a big change, which did not prevent her from being unmasked in the Final.

Which was a good thing, it would be a problem if they stayed married, he had new plans, and he couldn't stay married to Felicity that long if he kept it up, which he didn't tell, when he stopped paying attention to the woman and continued with the vigilantism.

Tsuki Miki had said, while hiding her identity better than she did, that somehow Felicity was taken towards the hospital, that's where she lost their baby.

Forensic exams were carried out, what hurt the most was the fall, it was what the exams said, it was a miscarriage, due to the fall, not even that he said she should have stayed at home or waited for the child was born to be able to return to the supposed fight against crime, in the end...

Felicity had her secret escapades, while he faced Darkness and returned to catch thieves from a museum, Felicity stole, all for the sake of escaping, she simply wanted to destroy his life, of everyone she could get her claws into.

At that time, Tsuki Miki made Gerard leave.

He was advised by his godfather Amasteus to keep the human away from the estate and his affairs.

- I need a year alone. - Said Tsuki Miki. – Or more than two. – He said towards Gerard.

The worried butler didn't agree, he offered a coffee towards the butler, when they drank it, the butler fell into his arms.

He paid for Gerard's extended vacation for a year, not to stay there, so he could actually put his plans into action.

On second thought, Tsuki Miki thought it best, two years away from him, putting a drugged Gerard towards a private plane, in short, the old man woke up in a luxury hotel.

Seeing that by the bedside, a personal friend of Tsuki Miki's would keep an eye on Gerard and not let him back so soon, so that Tsuki Miki would proceed with his plans, when the poor butler, called him in a rage, about rights and kidnappings, but Tsuki Miki literally was adamant.

What that didn't coincide with his return, doing that kind of thing with a man who had treated him like a son and was a supposed father to him, Tsuki Miki laughing and saying, that life wasn't always the way they wanted.

Forcing the old butler, on a trip around the world, with everything paid, to know every part of the planet earth, he would have a guide who would keep an eye on him, to leave him in peace, and with that, not to prevent him from doing what he wanted. he had in mind....

- Like you, you can do this to me, I did everything for you. - Said the butler on the phone.

- I don't understand, what's going on? Gerard shouted.

- Gerard, you won't be able to come back before a year, it doesn't help any of that, I need you to stay out of Gotham. - Said Tsuki Miki.

- I don't need any of that. - Said his butler.

- By the way. - Said Tsuki Miki. – The cards would be blocked and monitored, for looting and certain values, they would have Warriors directly to me, and you cannot return, before the established time.

- Damn it, boss, that's kidnapping. – Said Gerard.

Tsuki Miki needed to plan, and those plans didn't include Gerard, and neither did her prior knowledge of what he intended to do.

- No, it's not kidnapping, I didn't put you in false imprisonment, nor did I arrest you somewhere, I'm sending you towards various parts of the world, you can very well enjoy your time. - Said Tsuki Miki.

In Felicity's case, this year, he wouldn't have to worry about her for a long time, unless she ran away.

She would be trapped in the Black Gate for a year if she didn't escape, and if she did, she would be an outlaw by now, she would have time to plan what to do while he had neither Gerard nor Felicity to get in his way.

Keeping Dick at bay, and any of the boys, in that as well a plan to keep members of the Warriors Society of Heroes at bay.

He would have a few weeks to plan...

4 weeks later...

In between his comings and goings to and from the company and the mansion, he struck up a deal with a few partners who happened to be demons involved in a gambling ring.

Tsuki Miki dabbled in gambling, and it was a gambling house that no hero would enter, but with demons that would, that was just an invitation, which he accepted, interesting to say, that he was inspired.

Initially, he shouldn't have, but he did, it wasn't against the rules, but no one stopped him from doing it either.

4 weeks after the demons bet...

Tsuki Miki was falling towards some ruins, there was an earthquake, he fell from the crater, falling towards cracks and with a part of his trunk being pierced, vertically.

He had a sharp rock, which had pierced him vertically, its fine point, with a thick extension, pierced from his shoulder towards a lung.

As he broke his spine with the fall, at that time, Tsuki Miki didn't know if he was going to die from the haemorrhage, or from his punctured lung, or if they stayed alive on a bed.

There were numerous buildings in ruins, in addition to sharp rocks, close to his spine, the fall itself that made him break his spine, he did not move, above him, he had seen, not counting the fact that sharp rock.

That was Astro-Star who was on top of him, a part of the sharp rock tip, had pierced Astro-Star's shoulder who was on top of him.

- Tsuki Miki... - Astro-Star tried.

- I know you're a good person, but I don't think I'll last. - Said Tsuki Miki.

- They will arrive. - Said Astro-Star.

- Do not speak. - Tried Tsuki Miki. - Stay quiet. - Said Tsuki Miki.

- It's so beautiful. - Said Tsuki Miki.

Astro-Star felt the hot blood splash and spread on that floor, her body on Tsuki Miki's, feeling the blood, there was rubble all around them.

- I don't know. - Said Tsuki Miki. "I had faith in you that you would do no wrong. - Said.

- Shut up Tsuki Miki. - He requested. – I hear your heart.

- You're heavy, Kal. - Said Tsuki Miki.

The vision of the man under him blurred, he saw a light, he was a beautiful person, he didn't know if it was a man or a woman, what mattered was that he was beautiful, and he gave his hand extending in his direction,

- Come with me. - Said the voice.

- Yes, I will go with you. – Said Tsuki Miki, he raised his hand from the arm that wasn't pierced, whose blood was spreading on the floor, he took the hands of that beautiful red-haired man.

- It's so beautiful. - Said Tsuki Miki, he's calling me, he extended his hand that caught him.

Tsuki Miki Delphos fell into unconsciousness, when, he heard a scream, followed by a light.

Three weeks ago.

There was a particularly loud earthquake that wasn't destructive because of Astro-Star and some Helionians.

Taking place in the busy streets of Golden Valle, it occurred its fracturing, where some of Luthor's properties, which in the meantime, was an old building, or even what was Luthor's property, were working directly for him.

They were sending experts and scholars, and scientists to carry out studies, scholars and archaeologists, who were there in the course of research.

They discovered ruins, an ancient city with temples relatively intact under the sewers of Golden Valle the entire city, there were other buildings that they were researching, among these there was an ancient civilization, mummifications, and ancient ones, prior to the year 1300.

There were tunnels that collapsed, which for more than a month or more were doing research.

Among them was organized by Luthor, who were funding it out of pure interest, in addition to there being many relics and monuments, in addition to what would be an image, statues of what would be a huge bat man.

These were three images that interspersed a reptilian man like that of a demon or dragon, there was in the center the shape of a man and at the extreme a hybrid form between the three shapes, there were inscriptions, it would give money with excursions and tourism.

It all started a few weeks ago...

Many archaeologists were hired and he was directly involved in

Being poor wasn't easy, and getting old wasn't easy either...

Because of Joker, he couldn't maintain the Dark-Dragon persona for long, spent his afternoon with a headache, and headed towards the cave, he was what he thought, going out for a drink, thinking about his retirement.

The man didn't say, if a miracle came along and he changed his mind, yes, then, he needed some time, the headache really got worse to the point of looking for a doctor, which was at the end of that week, he was done a few exams, the diagnosis came, as for the diagnosis of terminal brain tumours, stage 4, there was no stage 5... which would be unnecessary and all a cheap emotion.

Ali had some investigations, which would prevent that, if he told anyone they caused a commotion, which he didn't need, in which he wouldn't last long as a crime fighter, if he didn't turn up a miracle beyond the Lazarus pits, or that he would earn some money to prolong his life, but let's face it.

Tsuki Miki didn't want to prolong her life for too long... unless he could do it in a way that would bring about the least consequences, Pits of Lazaro was out of the question.

Now, he found that it wouldn't last anyway, he needed some time away, he wouldn't live at all, his life gave what it had to give, he did his best.

Lately, he thought of sending a letter, to avoid complications, to everyone there, he needed a break, a sabbatical from the cape, which wouldn't really be a year.

It would be one more life, but he changed his mind, and simply said so, when he held an urgent meeting in the watchtower, gathering all the heroes there around the big table and meeting.

- I'm going to take a gap year for myself, at the end of the month I'm going to travel. - Said. "And if all goes well, I'll come back." - Said Tsuki Miki.

- Today will be my last day at Warriors Society of Heroes. - Said Tsuki Miki. - At least for a while. - Said Tsuki Miki.

- What are you going to do, bat? – He Green Arrow.

- I'm going on a journey of self-discovery, and training again. - Said Dark-Dragon.

- Will you come back later? – It was Hal.

– Not for now, I won't come back. - Said Tsuki Miki.

– I'm getting too old to fight. - Said Tsuki Miki.

"A lot of people stronger than me are coming along. - Said Tsuki Miki.

- I also don't want to go back for now, I have to enjoy my free time a little on my vacation. Tsuki said.

– Take a gap year. - Said Tsuki Miki.

"I have to keep the bones I have left whole. - Said Tsuki Miki.

- I want to enjoy my old age that is coming. - Said Tsuki Miki.

"I don't want to fight anymore, at least for now. - Said Tsuki Miki.

– I will leave the new generation. - Said Tsuki Miki.

- So, a year without you, dragon. Hal said.

- One year. - Said Tsuki Miki. - I'm going away at the end of the month. - Said Tsuki Miki.

So they got out of there.

Tsuki was heading towards a bar, hidden from human eyes, in addition to gossips, paparazzi and reporters on duty.

At that time, when disguising himself, Tsuki thought that he would not be recognized by anyone, so he would not be approached or cornered, however, he was wrong.

As far as he knew they were projected, like holograms, and seen by all the televisions, only the backs of their bodies were seen.

The Presence appeared above them, accompanied by others, like Lucifer and Neron and the others who appeared beside him at the bar, which Tsuki Miki drank, he looked around.

His images appeared like mirrors of water, above the clouds and buildings of Gotham City, Golden Valley, Central City, Star City and all other super hero cities.

Astro-Star loomed above the skies and buildings of Golden Valle and tried unsuccessfully to punch The Presence's faces, but passed right through him.

- We didn't come here to fight. – Said Lucifer. – But to propose a deal. - Said the angel of the morning.

- We are couriers and gamblers. Trigon said.

- Damn, I already told you, no. Tsuki said.

- Hear us out, at least. - Lucifer said.

- Your union with the king of darkness may be beneficial. - Lucifer said.

- Beneficial as, moreover, I know that they did not come just for that. Tsuki said.

- We are here to announce to all heroes, a way to earn money. that will be worth gold. - Said The Presence. – You bet with us, so we try to convince you of the relationship. – Each one of them said.

- We propose to all heroes, they are not obliged to do it if they don't want to. Trigon said.

- What do you think we would do that? - Asked Astro-Star. – Do you think we will do something for you? - Questioned the man of steel.

- They will not be obliged, but if they do. Trigon said. – You will receive 700 billion dollars and 30 gold bars.

- You know, we won't leave you alone. – So he heard them say.

- When two innocent heroes of sin from each of the cities, without being obliged to do so, must if you want to kill in two weeks, 7 innocent people. Trigon said.

– Villains are not worth it, you can or cannot kill voluntarily. Trigon said. – Without being obligated. Trigon said.

A sky of gold appeared above the clouds, and an immense pointed tower floating at its tip a box of dollars, opening them, and revealing to all, appearing in front of all the heroes the bars of gold and the dollars, and then returning to Cashier.

- You kill if you want. Trigon said. – They are not required. - Said the demon.

- Within two weeks, you must decide whether to kill or not. Trigon said.

- The tower is protected, and you won't be able to get out of there in less than two weeks, those who try will regret it. - Said another creature.

- While the other heroes are busy thinking about their shitty lives, we keep them distracted, you better think about how to accept the relationship with the dark king. - Lucifer said.

- There's no real choice there. Tsuki said.

Then when demons and gods started to manipulate the population.

It was announced, on the news, and it went around the internet, broadcast on all the television networks, and nothing else was talked about, beyond that, during the two days straight until the end of the week.

Everyone saw and heard the story, everyone there, felt the pressure and the power...

Yes, they said only the heroes that could kill.

Astro-Star looked towards the sky and saw there around him the black tower with the gold in its tip at the top of it.

- It cannot be. - Said Astro-Star.

- Who would kill for money, a hero would not do that. - One of them said.

Astro-Star called a meeting at the watchtower later that same afternoon.

The heroes gathered at the watchtower, if that was enough, Luthor set up a march and a press conference, about the danger of Astro-Star, that not even the scout could ignore a sum of money with that.

Astro-Star saw Tsuki Miki's chair being occupied by another Dark-Dragon.

- What would he gain giving money for us to kill? - Another questioned.

- See how low we've fallen? Raven gave it a try.

- He could see us corrupt and with that, he would have innocent souls being led to the abyss of fear. - Said Raven.

The Dark-Dragon looked towards everyone and said. – Corrupt. - Said. - At best.

- Why didn't he choose a villain? Zatana asked.

- Do you really think we're going to make money if we kill an innocent person? Constantine asked.

– If they said that anyone could kill, then in the first hour there would have been a kill. Zatana said.

- It is much better to see a hero corrupting himself and killing than a villain, he has already been corrupted, and they kill for money, anyone would see, that there would be no fun in not having rules. - Said Dark-Dragon.

- Then. - Said Green Arrow. – The cool thing is to see who thirsts first. - He said.

Astro-Star flew towards the bat's cave, Tsuki Miki had already returned to the mansion, he was feeling weak, the drink and the pressure didn't go down well, if he had trouble containing Astro-Star at his best, falling into the weak cave floor, it didn't seem to be a good situation.

Damn it, how could they pressure him into having a relationship with a dark god, the vampire king of space?

Tsuki Miki ignored the Warriors' calls, he turned off the computers, the cell phones, everything, he was in the dark, thinking of a backup plan, in case they would literally want to kill, but he was thinking of Astro-Star.

He alternated with eavesdropping and tracking each of his allies, Tsuki Miki supposedly passed the time drinking, he actually grabbed a laptop and followed the footsteps with cameras dotted around towns, following the footsteps of every hero in every town.
