//------------------------------// // Chapter 34 // Story: I Just Walk Away // by madhat886 //------------------------------// A man was thrown through a wall of cement and metal, the blast from the explosion having sent him flying. The man known as Butcher stared at the hole as Batman as worn and ragged as he is step out. They're in the main power room of the battle station that's hovering over the world that is the combination of several worlds all merged together. The world where Batman came from, The world of My Hero Academia, Grrlpower, Empowered, fusion world of Cartoon Network cartoons, Hasbro Cartoons, American Dragon, Kim Possible, and Hanna-Barbara superhero cartoons. Outside the ranging battle could be heard as the heroes who got through the shield are fighting their way to bring down the shield that protected the base. "You got me," Butcher said as he's impaled on several pieces of wreckage of the machine he landed on. "How do I shut the machine down?" Batman ask. "Before it fires off the big energy blast?" Butcher asked. "Of course thanks to that heroine with that costume that's like wet paper and her friends. The coolant system that's keeping the gun cool is out of control. This entire sector is going to blow up. And seeing how I'm stuck and dying there isn't anyway I'm going to survive. Be proud you got me back." "I will save you, I do not kill," Batman said. "You killed before. You killed Parademons when Darksied invades, the demons, the aliens and other non-humans over the years," Butcher said. "I'm the first one that you killed that's human. But that's all the differences that matters to you isn't it. If I was non-human you wouldn't be milking all of this drama if I was." (1) "That's not true," Batman said. "Oh yes it is," Butcher said. "You have killed before but as long as they weren't human. You just wave it off as only human lives matter to you." The room shake as the machines that powered the gun overheated, causing pieces of the ceiling to rain down. "I do understand why you don't kill and others like you. But it's one thing in saving someone who can change and then there's saving someone who will just keep on doing what they're doing no matter what. I would repay you saving me by simply firing the cannon and killing everyone on your world. To make you finally understand how pointless it is in saving someone like me when there isn't anyone left but the two of us. But you would even knowing that would still save me. Because saving the villain is more important than anyone else's life," Butcher said mocking him. "Even you can be save," Batman said. "I'll tell that to your parents who if you had just let me go and kill that guy would be alive. They'll be so proud that you rather save the life of the man who killed them, putting his life above theirs and preventing me from stopping him just before he killed them," Butcher said mocking him more. "You have any idea how fuck up in the head you have to be to think that's what they would want?" Batman could only stare at the man who made him be the one who got his parents killed. "It's the reason why everyone close to you have abandon you. Your Bat family all left, seeing how low you would go to save the life of villain, even the one who if he had been stop your parents would be alive. You rather have innocents be killed so that the villains who let you be Batman live, just so you can go and do your thing. Why is it that you treat the death of someone like me who has done just about everything and yes I have done much to children as I do adults. As it's the end of the world and the one who killed someone like me worse then the person they killed. Some people like me just have to die," Butcher said. The room shaked again. "But really sealed the deal, where you are now the villain in everyone's eyes. Is how I made the Joker sane and got him to tell his side of things in that recording. Blaming you for not allowing him to be killed, when it wouldn't be by your hands. Keeping on saving him no matter what. Saying that he's a mad dog and that he could and will never be able to make up for all that he had done. But you kept on saving him when he would rather die. And then I gave that child who the Joker had just killed their parents in front of them, just like yours. Helping them bring the blaster to his face and held the gun steady as they pulled the trigger, thanking them before hand," Butcher said to him. "You could had saved the parents," Batman said. "I would but I didn't get there fast enough, unlike you who should had just let him died so many times. But that's was just the icing on the cake. When you came in and after a fight with me and me wrapping the rope around you. The child got us to stop when they ask you why you value the life of the Joker above their parents. And when you answered back, that sealed your faith for good. Too bad the rope was the rope Wonder Woman uses to make people tell the truth that I stole from her the last time we fought," Butcher said. "You ruin me," Batman said. "No I didn't, I just made you tell the truth and everyone didn't agree with your answer. The other heroes want nothing to do with you and the villains. Well even they have standards, well most of them anyways," Butcher said. "Tell me. Why did you do this?" Batman asked. "I could tell you that someone asked me to. One of the many people who's life was ruined because of the villains you rather save and protect then theirs. But then again even if that was the case, I would had just done it anyways," Butcher said as the room began to blow up as the machines finally hit the limits of the backup cooling systems safe guards. Batman ran back towards the hole and leap down using his cape to glide as the gun was destroyed and leaving Butcher behind to die. He saw the leaders of the station having been driven back by the heroes who they been fighting. The five leaders who lead the army of robots group together as they each held up an arm thrusting upwards. Beams of energy came out of the rings they each wore and merged together. "I'm Captain Planet!" the man who was created from the five rings shouted out as he floated above the crowd below. ! "Alright that's it!" Megaman said as he stops the recording and turns to Twilight and the others. "What it's getting to the good part," Twilight said. "Yeah the other heroes finally got through the shield and it was us vs them," Sunset said. "Captain Planet really shows how powerful he is when the world he's on is made up of many all merged together," Naruto said. "But what does this have to do with the mission?" Megaman said. He's part of the higher ranks of the guild that Twilight and the others are part of and his job is to review mission recordings when something like this happens. "Well the job was to separate the worlds before the merger caused more harm to each of their home universes," Trixie said. "Which we did at the end." "Then why are the heroes of those worlds are fighting you?" Megaman asked. "It's hard to say how that happen. It just all snowballed into us having to use the RV Deathstar mode to do the job and.... well it just ended up with so many other plans set into motion by ll of the different villains that were on their worlds at the time they all merged together, all going off at the sametime," Kasumi said. "So it's just the old heroes think other heroes are villains and it all becoming a mess type deal?" Megaman asked. "Yeah something like that," Captain Planet said. "Ok but how does Butcher fit into this?" Megaman asked. "Actually he just showed up and started helping us set everything up. Which is one of the reasons why the heroes thought that we were villains," Naruto said. "Ok but now each world that was merged are now being ruled over by their own Gaia's," Megaman said. "Well all of the world merging together just caused the spirits of the planets to wake up and is the reason why it all worked out in the end. They gave us the power needed to separate their worlds," Twilight said. "This is a big mess," Megaman said. "Well it's better then the merged Earth's causing their universes from slamming into each other like one of those folding beds that slam together while you're on it," Sunset said. "There's that," Megaman said wondering how he's going to write this entire mess into his report.
