DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 176

[David Lance POV]

In front of me stood Superman and Wonderwoman, side by side, their shoulders almost touching, both ready to take me on. It was almost poetic, seeing the supposedly all-powerful Superman having no other option but to team up with the Greek Demigoddess to have even the slightest of chances to take me down.

Many in this situation would feel intimidated. But I wasn't like the rest; unlike others, I welcomed their challen...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 175

[David Lance POV]

I arrived on Earth, on the north pole, with a few thousand of my soldiers to back me up alongside Dex-Starr, as I ordered the remaining rest to spread across the globe and to only attack those serving the regime if possible.

As expected, I was greeted by Superman, Wonder Woman, and a few thousand regime soldiers upon my arrival. What made this even better was that Superman was back to his normal self, no Yellow Ring.<...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 174

[Raven - Rachel Roth POV]

[Young Justice]

The forest was eerily quiet, and the air cold and heavy. I could feel the magic inside me, swirling and growing stronger with each step I took, preparing in anticipation for what was to come. After so long, this was it. This was the moment I had been waiting for.

I reached the spot I had previously handpicked for this ritual, an opening in the trees that seemed t...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 173

[Wonder Woman - Injustice POV]

I walked down the hall of the Regime's base to meet with Clark, my boots echoing on the hard floor with each step I took. As I walked, I couldn't help but wonder deep down why Clark had decided to offer that man... no... that monster our mercy.

By his own words, this unknown had proven to be a threat bigger than anything he had ever faced, and yet, despite that acknowledgment, he had decided to approach this beast a...

DC, Marvel and corn

Just a quick update. Today at night I will post 4-5 chaps ending the war subarc of DC, and tomorrow I will officially restart Marvel.

Raven will appear in the upcoming DC chapters.

David will face difficult choices.

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 172

[David Lance POV]

Leading my army through space, I reached Earth's solar system within moments, finding Sinestro and Hal waiting for me alongside several hundred Yellow Lanterns.

It seemed someone had told them I was coming... And If I had to take a guess, I would say without hesitation Granny Goodness had been involved in this less-than-favorable development.

No matter, I had already accounted for this kind of scenari...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 171

[David Lance POV]

After Granny Goodness had finished her explanation about my army and its capabilities, I proceeded to inspect every soldier I had been given, using my power ring to do so, examining every monster in my ranks as thoroughly as possible.

Making sure to the best of my ability that the old hag wasn't trying to trick me in any way.

Be that as it may, I knew that inspecting them wouldn't do much from a reali...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 170

[David Lance POV]

Within moments of leaving Granny Goodness, I reached the room where Dex-Starr was supposed to be resting. Inside, the room was small and sparsely furnished. A single bed sat in one corner, and a small table and chair were tucked into another.

Against one wall was a small dresser, its surface bare except for a single candle. Why on earth a cat would need a dresser was beyond me.

Taking a deep breath, I...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 169

[David Lance POV]

The door to Darkseid's throne room hissed closed behind me as I walked to the barracks, my mind reeling about multiple things at once. 

My desire to destroy Superman, the fact I was getting closer and closer to accomplishing said desire, and the moral dilemma all of this represented, and I didn't mean my intentions when it came to Superman; I didn't care about morality with that one, I meant using Darkseid's help...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 168

[David Lance POV]

As I walked behind Darkseid, I could feel his presence looming over me. His massive frame casting a foreboding shadow that seemed to suck the light out of the room.

It was rather impressive, that much I had to admit. And it wasn't the fact that his mere presence was trying to subjugate me through sheer pressure. But the fact that even though I knew with certainty that I could take him if push came to shove, my body was telling m...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 167

[David Lance POV]

Having completed my training with Wioska, learning a lot, yet not so much at the same time, I took flight to Apokolips at full speed. My head was heavy with thoughts and questions about what course of action I should take before taking to earth.

At a core, my intentions hadn't changed. I wanted to kill Superman.

However, now that I was clear of Trigon's hold, the path I wanted to take wasn't the same. Without Tr...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 166

[David Lance POV]

I closed my eyes as I took a deep breath, my knuckles buzzing in pain as they dripped with blood, melting the ground beneath me. For forty-two hours, I had sparred with Wioska without stopping, making in our wake a trail of blood and destruction as the brutal battle went on.

Not a single drop of blood was hers.

Her unfathomable power drove me to the gates of beyond more times than I could count. Her power was wi...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD CHAPTER 165

[Unknown POV]

In the middle of nowhere, a man in a suit stood watching over a beautiful garden full of roses of all imaginable colors. There, he waited patiently for someone to arrive.

On the horizon, seemingly coming out of thin air, a woman appeared. One of fair skin and kind eyes.

The woman's pale skin stood in stark contrast to the vibrant colors of the garden around her. The roses brushed against her as she walked...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 164

[David Lance POV]

Seeing Wioska approach me, I looked at her. Her steps echoing in the cave, one after the other.

"Good job," Wioska praised with a slow clap. "You passed that little challenge with flying colors.”

I still didn’t know exactly what she had tried to test me for, but based on the nature of the test, perhaps it was ingenuity?

Wioska smiled at my clear look of uncertainty. “If you're s...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 163

[David Lance POV]

I followed Wioska into a cave, where she said the last part of my training would take place. 

What exactly would I do there? She didn't care to elaborate, but if the challenges she had made me do so far were anything to go by, I knew it would be difficult.

As we walked further and further in, the cave became more treacherous, to the point I had to be careful not to slip on the sl...

MASS RELEASE.

I have had a few problems this past few days with my internet. The problem is all fixed now, so I will post 5 chapters tomorrow to compensate for the days I didn't post. I might post more, but for now, the 5 are for sure.

After that schedule will return to normal with 2 chapters a day for DC. 

For those curious about my problem, there was a massive storm in the area I live, and it caused some damage to the lines, and well... I was without internet as the...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 162

[David Lance POV]

The challenge I was facing soon proved to be difficult in its own way.

This creature was incredibly fast, so much so that I wasn't sure what exactly I was fighting, as this animal was nothing more than a blur as they circled around me at high speeds, pelting me with attacks from all directions.

If there was any solace to this challenge, it was that the creature’s attacks didn't hurt at all.

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 161

[David Lance POV]

The following day after my battle with Bakaara was one of the hardest I had ever faced in my entire life.

The number of times I had been close to the gates of the cold beyond at the hands of Wioska during that single day, were simply too numerous to count, as were the amount of times I was dragged back into the living world by her power.

At first, I couldn't grasp what she was trying to teach me...

DC - Sneak peek for a upcoming episode.

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 160

[David Lance POV]

I stared at Bakaara, trying to think how to beat him before he charged at me once again. Lowering my body a bit, I got into a defensive stance, which allowed me a sliver of time to parry his first blow with my arm, breaking it.

I dodged his follow-up, jumping a few steps back, where I took a brief second to look at my arm. 

Once again, he had managed to overpower me, but it wasn't because he was getting str...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 159

[David Lance POV]

[Day 3.]

I was in the middle of my morning run around the fucking planet, trying to keep up with Wioska, when I saw a blur flash by me. It was so fast that I couldn't even tell what it was, but I knew that it wasn't something human, not even remotely.

I turned to look at where it had come from, and I saw a large figure standing on top of a hill, looking down at me. 

Whoever o...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 158

[David Lance POV]

[Training begins.]

Soon after I had asked Wioska to train me, and she had accepted, she proceeded to once again seal my powers because, in her words, her training required me to be at my weakest to be effective.

Soon after that, the training started, and within moments I found myself standing in front of Wioska, my clothes torn and my body covered in sweat and blo...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 157

[David Lance POV]

With my nightmare being finally over, I opened my eyes and slowly sat up, trying to take in my surroundings. It was difficult to see in the darkness that surrounded me, but as my eyes adjusted back, I could make out a faint light in the distance.

Cracking my stiff neck, I stood up and brushed the dirt off my clothes as I began to walk towards the light, using my power ring to light the way. 

As I...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 156

[David Lance POV]

After Death opened the door, light engulfed me, and in a blink of an eye, I found myself back in the forest. Watching the very same scene, I had seen before encountering her.

In front of me, I saw the old me, fighting one of Trigon's demons, or sons, barely keeping with them. It was only a matter of time before Raven appeared to the rescue. 

I smiled fondly at the memory.

I can't...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 155

[David Lance POV]

The moment I took Death’s hand, the world around me changed, and in the blink of an eye, I was in a completely different place. 

It looked like a library, but it was empty and void of any color. The only light came from the bright full moon that shone through the windows of the place, a moon that appeared to be so close that I felt I could touch it if I extended my hand.

"What is this place?" I...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 154

[David Lance POV]

Did… she say she was… fucking Death?! As in: I’m gonna harvest your soul, Death?! 

"Why are you here?" I asked, keeping my tone as respectful as possible, looking around. "Is this some sort of cosmic intervention because I made some bad life choices?"

"Oh no, nothing like that," Death chuckled as she shook her head. "If anything, you're the one that dropped unannounced, which I have to admi...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 153

[David Lance POV]

As I ran through the forest, I continued taunting Trigon to ensure he would follow me.

With each charge on his part, I would dodge, sidestepping him effortlessly, causing him to stumble forward from the momentum more than once. 

"What's wrong? Can't hit me?" I taunted him again as I ran in the opposite direction, leading Trigon away from the forest in the direction I hoped I would find a new scen...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 152

[David Lance POV]

He charged at me again, a feral grin on his face. I side-stepped his charge and then grabbed him by the horns, using all my strength to lift him off his feet and slam him into the ground. The impact sent shockwaves through the ground, but Trigon quickly got back up, unphased by the attack.

I knew none of this mattered.

It was a dream.

A mental battle.

One that would n...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 151

[David Lance POV]

With a gasp for air, I opened my eyes, finding myself to be lost in the woods, having no idea how I got there. In fact, I barely remembered anything beyond my day with Dinah. Taking a deep breath, I looked at the sky, and it was dark.

Staring at the black sky, I took a moment to gather my bearings, remembering that I was looking for a small shack that was located in the woods.

Though this felt somewhat off.

UPDATES, NEWS, AND MORE.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your patience, I had a terrible case of the old cold yesterday, and felt like crap. But even though I had the cold, I didn't stay idle. 

I have arranged my schedule to post chapters on a easier to meet timeline, by moving some stuff around. Tomorrow that schedule starts. I have a few chapters on editing, making sure they are right, and they will be posted by 9PM EST. 

From now on, all chapters will be post...
