Nighthunter had just returned to New York after a mission in Mexico, he wanted to have a bath and rest, however he realized that the city was being attacked by monsters and that the hero known as Thunderblood had being battling them, however something turned wrong and he was destroying the city he swore to protect

"Just when I wanted a break" Nighthunter said outloud to himself before he went to take his equipment and suit.

Nighthunter arrived to the scene, there was destruction everywhere and altough the guardians had damaged the city the real credit was for the uncontrolled Thunderblood. Nighthunter activated the power of the triforce, his hand started to shine and the legend symbol appeared in his hand, he grabbed his magical sword and started to run to where Thunderblood was.

"Let's see what's stronger, your demon axe or my sacred sword"

Hearing a voice behind him "Let's see what's stronger, your demon axe or my sacred sword" Bloodaxe turned. A devish grin appeared upon his face. His eyes bloodshot red and standing just over 7ft. He knew ths hero and also knew he would fall before his might. His voice sounded dredfully evil as he spoke "Boy your sword knows not the power of the Bloodaxe. I will use it to chop your arms and legs off, all the while pounding your face with Thunderstrike"raiseing the mace in his left hand

The internal struggle had began. Thunder could see the hero, but he could not fight off Bloodaxe's lust to kill. Screaming for control he fought the demons that lay inside. He had to find a way to stop him. He had to keep the evil at bay, he could not let the boy die by his hands.

Quickly Bloodaxe released a shower of ice blades towards Nighthunter, six of them each the sixe of a small sword, and then followed it with a bolt of magical lightning straight for his chest all while chargeing forward to get closer to his prey.

Nighthunter saw a shower of ice blades going toward him, using his sword he stoped two of them, then using his incredible agility he was able to almost avoid the attack perfectly, however one of the ice blades made a small cut in his shoulder.

Ughh Nighthunter thought after he felt the cut

"So you like to play rough huh" Nighthunter said with a firm voice, after that he grabbed his bow and started to shoot his ice arrows toward Bloodaxe, one after the other without stopping the arrows started to get closer and closer to the berserk demon.

One of the ice blades had cut Nighthunter, and then he began to rain down magical ice arrows at Bloodaxe. Still chargeing he took the first arrow in stride. It pirced through his dark armor and struck into his chest. The pain was chilling, almost like his body would freeze over. Realizing thier magic he brought his Axe infront of him, useing it as a shield to deflect the rest of the arrows except for one last one that struck hard against his shoulder. The blood from his shoulder freezing upon contact with the arrow.

Now upon his foe he attacked like a rabbid dog. His axe busting alive with hellfire as he struck across aiming high for Nightunters head. He would have to jump back or duck. If he did not he would be about one foot shorter. Setting his favorite attack he readied his mace to strike upward if Nighthunter ducked down. Once he went down the mace would smash against his face.

Knowing his opponets quickness he also charged his mace. If his opponet did not duck and jumped back instead, he would send forth three magical bolts of lightning after him from the mace.

Nighthunter saw how the one time hero attacked him without any mercy, he quickly grabbed his sword and stopped the attack that was sent to his head, however Bloodaxe proved that he was too strong to be stopped like that, using his incredible strength he quickly started to break Nighthunter's defense.

Not here, not now Nighthunter thought with fear, he had to do something fast or he would be killed there. He used all his strength to stop the attack and rolled over, however Bloodaxe's weapon was able to make a cut in his face.

"That's gonna leave a scar" Nighthunter said feeling both pleased and angered for the outcome of his strategy.

Nighthunter sent a slash toward Bloodaxe's chest in an intent to hurt him, he had to finish this quickly sincce he was losing a lot of blood

The bloodaxe had missed its primary target, but still scored a hit, slashing across Nighthuters face. He heard him remark "That's gonna leave a scar" as the blood dripped down. Bloodaxe's face light with glee and lust to see the young heros pain.

Quickly though he recovered and sent a slash that caught Bloodaxe unaware. It bit through his armor, which means his bade was indeed magical after all. Blood gushed out of his chest and all over Nighthunter. He had hurt him and it was time to make him pay...with his life.

The sudden burst of anger came upon him fast. Bloodaxe took his mace in his left hand and attempted to shadder Nighthunters leg strikeing towards his tigh. He would immobalize his prey, and then strangle the life out of him.

Nighthunter saw how he made his opponent even more angry, there was blood everywhere, some was from Bloodaxe and some was from Nighthunter. He saw how his opponent attacked him with out any mercy, Bloodaxe sent an attack with his mace against Nighthunter's legs.

"Very clever" Nighthunter said after he understood the strategy of Andferne, he tried to jump high in order to avoid the attack, and if he was in a better state he would have been able to, however he was tired, injured and some minutes before he would bleed over. Altough Nighthunter had been able to avoid most of the attack, his opponent had been able to hit tim in the foots.

Nighthunter lost his balance and fell to the ground, he tried to get up but it hurted him to much. Ugh, now I have problems he thought after he saw his status and the one of Bloodaxe

Nighthunter thought quickly, if he couldn't really move he would need to defeat Bloodaxe using long distance attacks, he grabbed his gauntlet and used it to gain distance, after that he grabbed his bow once again and started to shoot light arrows toward Bloodaxe

"The most evil the target is, the most powerfull this arrows become"

Nighthunter had tried dodgeing out of the way of Bloodaxe's strike. In the process he manged to get struck in the foot instead. He took out a gauntlet and them grabbed his bow once again, Raining down arrows of light towards Bloodaxe. "The most evil the target is, the most powerfl this arrows become" shouted Nighthunter.

The arrows came fast, Bloodaxe side stepped one, two, then three of them. But the forth and fith struck upon him. One dug deep into his thigh, and the other into his abdomen. The pain struck through his body. It hurt and the blood leaked from his wounds. He saw the look on Nighthunter's face and gave a evil grin.

"Your weapons might give you power to combat the darkness, and evil. But what if this darkness and evil houses the good and heroic as well HERO".

Bloodaxe was taunting him. Letting him know that even if evil was on the outside there was a good man on the inside. But one that would not escape. Thunder was still insdoe of the Bloodaxe fighting for control. He needed something, he needed hope.

Shakeing off the attacks and Thunders thoughts he sneered at Nighthunter. "So you wish to play with me boy. Pop shotting me with your toys. FINE FEEL MY WRAITH". Bloodaxe sent forth a blast of fiery magic from his axe. It was set to explode right at Nighthunters feet. Knocking him prone and distracting him as he Flew into the air raining down three magical lightning bolts at him, and then landing on the other side of Nighthunter.

Nighthunter saw a big and powerfull blast going toward him, he tried to evade it but he was too injured to walk, it exploded right at his feet, he fell to the ground and couldn't move, he knew bloodaxe was strong but not that strong, like if it wasn't enough three magical lightning bolts came from above and hit him, it hurted so much, if it wasn't for the power of the triforce he would be dead by now, he passed out and started to have flashbacks from what he had been through.

He started to remember everything, how he was a thief, how the first robin beated him, all his masters, his time as a titan, his death, his ressurection, the fights he had against Akira and Eternal Chaos, how he got control over the triforce. They say that before you die, you see your entire life in a second, and the only thing Nighthunter could see is that he could have been a better fighter, if he wanted he could have taken control over the world, yet he was about to die and only because he played by the rulez, because he was a hero.

Nighthunter woke up, he saw Bloodaxe in front of him about to finish the work. At that moment Nighthunter's hand started to shine again, however this time it was a red and dark shine.

"Ever since I started using this power, I've been holding back. However I've always wondered what will happen if I let go. Guess we're about to find out"

After that a black aura appeared over Nighthunter, the cut that he had in his face was closed and healed in a matter of seconds, his feets were once again able to move without any problem, his eyes became red as the fire of hell itself and his hair became as white as the snow. He looked, his hands and felt the power he had all the time inside of him, after that even the master sword started to change, it wasn't a legendary sword anymore, it was corrupted and took an appearance similar to the one of it's user.

Nighthunter grabbed his sword and started to run to Bloodaxe, he was faster than he had ever been, as well as more agile and stronger, Bloodaxe had to be afraid since the most powerfull human on the vine, became something else that noone could have forseen

Bloodaxe had blasted him with the fires of Surtur and with lightning. He closed in to see his fellen foe. To finish him off, but something was differant. He was changeing, standing before him now was a differant man. No a differant being all together. The Thunderstrike mace could track and trace energy powers. His had increased considerably, it was time he didn't hold back.

Nighthunter stood up and then charged Bloodaxe. He was even faster, and had it not been for Bloodaxe's own superhuman speed he would of been caught flat-footed and off guard. But he wasn't the mace warned him of the power differance. He would be ready, he would meet him head on in the charge.

He charged in towards Nighthunter Axe held hight and ready to slash and clash. Bit just before he reached Nighthunter he teleported behind him, then bagan his assualt with the axe and mace. Strikeing fiercly at his back with the Bloodaxe, and then once more he struck at his head useing the Thunderstrike.

The fight had changed dramatically, the two warriors started to show what they could do. The two of them started to run to each other, however before they could hit each other with their weapons Bloodaxe teleported behind Nighthunter and sent an attack with his axe to his hand. The attack was effective and he made a cut in Nighthunter's back. Just after that Bloodaxe tried to hit his head, however this time he wasn't so lucky

"Too slow" Nighthunter said before he blocked the attack using his sword, just after that he started to send with incredible speed a bunch of slashes to Bloodaxe

Bloodaxe's inital attack struck Nighthunter's back gashing into it. His second hit missed however as NH called out "Too Slow" and began to work his own flurry of attacks with his sword.

His fury was unleashed as he cut into Bloodaxe's already cut chest three more times. Blood splattering across both of them again with each stroke of his sword. His onslaught continued and Bloodaxe had to escape the surge of bloodlust he had.

Useing the Axe he sent his body to the Astral place. He was no longer touchable by a being on this plane of existance. Useing this he flew upwards into the air and manifested back to the material plane.

Screaming out at Nighthunter he said "You wish to see hell unleashed, then SO BE IT"

Flying high above Nighthunter Bloodaxe called forth a hail of ice knives. It came shattering down upon him like a ice cold blizzard. Combining with this display of power he blasted six bolts of magical lightning down upon him as well.

Once again screaming over the bursts of energy "HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE MINE"

Nighthunter kept slashing Bloodaxe without any mercy and without slowing down even a bit, however without any explanation Bloodaxe dissapeared in front of him, Nighthunter started to look in every direction to find his enemy. Seconds later Nighthunter found him, somehow Bloodaxe appeared above him.

You wish to see hell unleashed, then SO BE IT said Bloodaxe before he restarted his attack against Nighthunter, the first attack was a hail of ice knives and just after that he was also saw six bolts of lighting coming toward him.

Nighthunter had to think fast and make a strategy. Nighthunter started to use his sword to stop the ice knives, he was able to stop most of them, however some hit him, making small cuts in his shoulders and legs. After that he grabbed his mirror shield and used it to defend himself against the lighting bolts, his shield didn't only protect him from the attack but also sent the attack back to where Bloodaxe was standing.

"Now is my chance" Nighthunter said after the last bolt was reversed toward Bloodaxe. He used his gauntlet to gain high and then using his amplified body he jumped to give a slash with all his strength against Bloodaxe. His enemy had to do a hard decision; avoid his own reversed attack and be cut by Nighthunter's magical sword or dodge the slash of Nighthunter and be hurted by his own lightning bolts, either way would be good for Nighthunter

The rain of Ice tore down on Nighthunter, but somehow he managed to escape it with little injury. The lightning bolts were blocked and redirected by a mirrored shield. He had managed to grab a shield and protect himself from the lightning attacks that traveled about half the speed of light. Bloodaxe underestimated this ones speed, it would not happen again.

Dodgeing three of the returned bolts he brought his Axe and Mace in a cross posistion to absorb and defect two more of them. One however managed to get by his defense slamming against his thigh. I sent a jolt up his body, burning his insides and scarring some of his out.

Nighthunter had also used his power to leap up to Bloodaxe slashing at him. In the chaos if his own atacks he could not block NH's attack. It cut deeply into his left bicep. His scream of pain seemed more like pleasure as the blood poured out.

Nighthunter was now falling back towards the ground. He had no way to control his movements, not at a speed that would matter. Rearing his left arm back he threw the Mace down at Nighthunter's exposed spine, it would reach him in the blink of an eye as it travled at the speed of light with the force of over 300 tons.

Bloodaxe began his dive down following Nighthunter, his mace returned to his hand as fast as if left it. Once NH landed on the ground he would be upon him with his Axe. Slashing downward with it hard, fast, and with the might of the gods.

It was time to finish this.

Nighthunter's plan had worked, he had been able to use Bloodaxe's own attack as a distraction to cut him, he saw how Bloodaxe suffered after his attack. After that he started to fall to the ground, nothing to worry about, he had all planed out. Nighthunter grabbed his gauntlet, however just after he was able to use it a surprise attack happened and Nighthunter was hit by Bloodaxe's mace.

Nighthunter fell to the ground and hurted himself, he was really injured, the mace itself would have made enough by itself, howeve he also fell to the ground damaging him even more. Nighthunter turned around he saw that the mace had returned to his master and that he was about to charge against Nighthunter.

"Not bad, almost impressive" Nighthunter said slowly to himself before he got up again, he was tired but he knew that his opponent too. He used his sword to block the attack of Bloodaxe, after that he started to talk again.

"You made me reach my full potential. I'm gratefull of that and will give you the thing that you desire, I'll save your soul"

After Nighthunter finished talking he sent slashes toward Bloodaxe's body, he wouldn't stop one after the other he sent them to his chest, to his legs, even to his head. Bloodaxe had fought like a real warrior and deserved to die like one

The Mace had smashed against Nighthunter, and then he and crashed into the ground beneath. He should of been a broken and beaten man by now, but he got up. He continued to fight. Drawing his sword up he blocked Bloodaxe's downward thrust and spoke.

"You made me reach my full potential. I'm gratefull of that and will give you the thing you deserve, I'll save your soul"

He then went into a fury of attacks. Slashing and cutting at Bloodaxe. For the first few minutes of this Bloodaxe matched him speed for speed, blocking each strike, but the blood lose from the attack kicked in, His movements started to slow. Nighthunter gashed into him again, and again with that magical sword.

Bloodaxe stepped back, blood was dripping from all over his body. His shoulders, legs, ad chest covered in blood. With a swift movement he ripped off what was left of his armor. It was tattered and shreaded, useless now. He began to laugh "ha ha ha, ha ha ha, HA HA HA HA. You think me finished boy? I have only begun to kill you. Our fight has yet to see the end".

He looked deep into Nighthunter's eyes, both boiling with rage and fury. Takeing his mace he stamped it upon the ground. Mystic energies surronded Bloodaxe. Right before thier eyes every single wound that Blooaxe had suffered healed. It was a powerful enchantment of the mace. But doing so took the powers that it granted away. He would no longer have the powers of Thunderstrike. He would only have the powers of the Bloodaxe. But even then he was a match for the GODS.

"Look upon me and tremble mortal. All you have done is for not. You remain before me a broken and battered man, while I stand before you a GOD. Leave here with what you have learned and I shall spare your life, and your SOUL.

With that fire erupted from the axehead as he stood awaiting his answer.

Nighthunter was able to slash Bloodaxe without any problem and altough Bloodaxe had blocked some of them, he had been able to hit him most of the times. After that he saw a Bloodaxe that he thought defeated, with his own blood all over him take his magical armor

ha ha ha, ha ha ha, HA HA HA HA. You think me finished boy? I have only begun to kill you. Our fight has yet to see the end

After that speech Bloodaxe started to magical recover himself, Nighthunter couldn't believe what he was seeing. He steped back and saw his opponent show his true self, apparently just like Nighthunter, Bloodaxe had hidden pottential and for what he could see that power could be compared to the gods themselves.

After Bloodaxe recovered himself he started to talk again Look upon me and tremble mortal. All you have done is for not. You remain before me a broken and battered man, while I stand before you a GOD. Leave here with what you have learned and I shall spare your life, and your SOUL.

Nighthunter thought for a second, his powers, his appearance and even his hearth had changed, however something hadn't changed; his brain. Nighthunter started to consider any angle and every scenario the fight could have and in everyone he lost...terribly.

"You win" Nighthunter said firmly and started to walk away, in his life he had been a lot of things, a thief, a hero, a team member, a legend and for the first time a villain, however he had never and would never be a fool, he knew his limits and accepted them, however he stopped suddenly and turned to Bloodaxe.

"A promise is a promise" Nighthunter quickly grabbed his bow and his light arrows however when he touched them he felt like they burned him, that was of no surprise since he was now an evil being. He started to shoot without stoping all his light arrows to Bloodaxe's head one after the other, the complete power of those arrows at that distance would purify Bloodaxe's soul.

"You welcome" Nighthunter said before he grabbed his gauntlet and used it to leave the scene before the arrows were able to his Bloodaxe, because in case that didn't work he wouldn't like to be there to feel the wrath of a god

The pain was terrifying. These arrows of light attacked his very being, his blackened soul. The darkness was being batted down. Arrow after arrow flung, with each one weakening the monsters hold.

Inside Eric had the HOPE he needed. Lights sparkeled thoughout this realm. The evil was being attacked. He battled the wits of the Axe, it weakening with every arrow launched at it. Then it broke open a hole, an escape. Eric ran into the light, he had did it. He managed to stop the anger, the bloodlust, the obsession for battle.

He then came to, back in control of his body. He was devastated by the havok caused. He had done his, he had destroyed all of this. In the corner of his eye he saw Nighthunter off in the distance.

He looked at him and softly said "The world still needs heros my friend, thank you. I will not give up on you, I will bring you back into the light".
