- 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.
Tsuki Miki ran towards the bathroom, not holding back, that's where he heard Astro-Star flying towards the cave, he couldn't stop vomiting, he heard more than one step, it was someone else...
-Tsuki Miki. - It was Dick, who had his hands on his shoulders.
Tsuki Miki as he finished throwing up in the toilet, he turned around.
- You drank. - Said Astro-Star. - All week.
- Are you still thinking about traveling? – It was a strange question asked by the man of steel.
- We are not yet at the end of the month. - Said Tsuki Miki. - But I'm not well. - Said. - Something in the drink. - Said Tsuki Miki.
- Hangover at best is not quite. - Said Astro-Star. - But that's no reason to.
- Do you intend to kill yourself from drinking too much? – Asked Artemis appearing beside them.
- What do you want here? – He asked wiping his mouth with toilet paper, and getting up, he was only wearing brown pyjama’s.
- I left the Warriors, go away. - Said Tsuki Miki staggering.
- I am no longer useful to the Warriors Society of Heroes. - Said Tsuki Miki. - I'm out.
- We thought you knew. – Said Astro-Star accompanying him around the cave.
- That was shown in every city. - Said Tsuki Miki.
Some lights were off, and the computer screen was drizzling, there was little lighting, the cave and the mansion were in dim light.
Tsuki Miki fell towards the chair away from the computer at a table in the corner, his head ached, he was a rag, there was a large travel bag prepared in the corner, his temple was hurting.
- God... - Said Tsuki Miki. - Crap.
He had to go to the companies soon, waiting when some demons began to be mediators and representatives of both bets and messengers of Darkness.
All the demons, some of their former enemies and minions, were conspiring to bring them together, which Tsuki no matter how much he said he had no interest in, it had no effect.
On another day, when he was approached in his mansion.
Amidst a visit from his former Warriors Society associates.
- I would say yes, Tsuki Miki. - Said Artemis.
Tsuki Miki saw herself in the mirror, dark circles under her eyes, it was a good thing Gerard travelled, he wouldn't see him, with a beard to shave, and dishevelled hair.
There were those who tried to take Dark-Dragon out of his cave, Jocker made the party in Gotham, but apparently, there was no one to take him out of his grave.
- I'm tired. - Said Tsuki Miki.
- We are having problems. - Said Artemis.
- You can have any problem, but I left the Warriors. - Said Tsuki Miki.
“I've trained you Dick enough to succeed me. - Said Tsuki Miki.
- I will not help. - Said Tsuki Miki.
- There's another Dark-Dragon doing the job. - Said Tsuki Miki.
- But no advice? - Asked Astro-Star.
Tsuki Miki looked towards the Astro-Star.
- No. - He said.
- I want to be left alone. - Said Tsuki Miki.
- There are so many heroes and vigilantes in Gotham. - Said Tsuki Miki.
- I trained most, if not all. - Said Tsuki Miki. “Once you figure out what to do. - Said Tsuki Miki.
They looked at each other and left the cave.
Tsuki Miki looked towards a computer, he waited a few minutes, then, when he waited when no one came back, then, that's when he turned on a computer, it was then showing several screens and showing each of the cities' heroes.
- Idiots. - Said Tsuki Miki.
- Fools. - He said.
Within the first week that followed, almost to the end of Friday, all heroes are included, two heroes from each super heroic city, will be able to kill seven innocents, from the first to the last, the one who kills, must be an innocent without sin.
Everyone there with skin-deep nerves, they were constantly irritated, there was a clock timing the time.
Heroes, gods, villains and everyone there saw and heard what the gods said.
- Interesting. - Said Luthor. – I couldn't have done better.
In a villain bar...
Luthor was sitting there at a table with poker cards and smoking a cigar.
Luthor looks around, he realized they wanted heroes to kill, who was he not to help, turn Astro-Star into a villain.
- I bet Astro-Star will succumb. - He said.
Joker, and some villains gathered at a round table, talking and playing poker, around them, between smokers and the villains of the underworld.
- I bet I can make Dark-Dragon kill. - Said the clown of crime.
- Who gains something from this, is the hero, not us. - Said Mister Cold, in addition to him killing for money. – said Cold.
– I don't see, Dark-Dragon killing around, not even for money. - Said Mr. Cold.
- Actually, I just see a Dark-Dragon, but I don't know if this is the original. - Said Penguin.
"Even if he had to." - Said Penguin.
– But did you notice something, Joker? - Questioned Poison Ivy.
- What, dear? – Asked the clown.
- We haven't seen him in weeks. - Said the green woman.
- You, like all of us, know that what we have here is not the original. Poison said.
- And you know he doesn't kill. - Said Crocodile.
- But we don't know about this new one. - Said Riddler.
- He had thousands of opportunities to kill you and he didn't, and it was free. - Said Penguin. “Because he would kill an innocent even now for money.
"Power corrupts, doesn't it?" – Asked The Riddler. “And greed makes you do crazy things.
