The Last Bat

JASON'S POV

I've been traveling for another day, after that... That trip down memory lane I refused to sleep, not like I wasn't use to it. Being Robin fucked my sleeping for life. I had looked on the map and the next town was this place called Ponyville.

"My God, did you make this world?" I asked Nightwing as he laughed his ass off while reading the names

"Manehattan! Canterlot! Trottingham! Filladelphia! Hahahahahahaha!"

"Even for me this is in bad taste." Batgril groaned as she rubbed her face as Nightwing kept listing off the names of different places. I rolled my eyes and kept driving, I wanted to avoid having to deal with people again so I will just stay out of sight.

"Try to find a library, you can use it to learn more about this world. Try to understand what happened and how much things have truly changed." Batman suggested

"Yeah, no, I'm not doing that. Just gonna get some supplies, restock on food and water, and then get the hell out." I said while eating an apple.

"So that's it? You're just gonna become a nomad? A wanderer?"

"You say that like that's a bad thing. Besides, this world, this place, humanity is gone... Maybe it's..."

"What? Time for humanity to end?" Robin asked "you can't give up."

"Just shut it, you little devil." I said while punching him in the face, but all I did was hit the air. They were gone. I sighed and stared back at the road, wincing a bit as the cuts on my wrist stung a bit, groaning as I powered through the pain and kept driving. I couldn't drive into town, so I would need to hide the Batmobile, luckily there was a large and dense forest nearby, the Everfree Forest. I drove on and soon neared the forest, I kept driving until I was sure I was deep enough to stay hidden. I hopped out and and grabbed my weapons, not taking any of my firearms except for my pistols, didn't want to go in defenseless.

"Don't die! Again!" Robin shouted from inside the Batmobile as I walked away, giving him the finger. It was still day so I will wait for tonight, but I really needed to stretch my legs. I walked off into the forest to try and get a layout of the place, maybe even get some game for lunch. I knelt down and found some tracks, seemed to be a deer is nearby

"Fresh, can't be that far." I said softly as I quietly followed the tracks, after a bit of tracking I could hear a river and smirked. I kept going and hid behind some bushes, seeing a deer drinking from the river. I was about to take out my sword until I saw something else beside the Deer singing, it was a pony. A pegasus to be exact, she had yellow fur, light pink hair and tail, and had butterflies tattooed on her ass. Her voice sounded feminine.

"Does everyone have have a fucking butt tattoo?"

"Why you looking at her butt?" Red Robin laughed while poking my head. I smacked his hand away and groaned, I could probably still get the deer though.

"Don't even think about it." Batman glared at me. I grumbled and crossed my arms

"You can't tell me what to do, old man." I hid in the bushes and watch the deer and pegasus, the pegasus had... She had a beautiful voice. I-I couldn't put my finger on it, but it just felt so... Warm. Like a warm blanket was draped over me. I closed my eyes and got lost in her voice, it wasn't until I heard the pegasus scream that I snapped out of the trance and saw a pack of wolves... Made of sticks? I... I don't wanna question it, too big of a headache for that. Right now she needed help, I saw one of the stick wolf thing lunged at her and jumped out of the bushes. Drawing my sword and slicing the wolf in half. It broke into twigs as I glared at the rest of the pack, they growled in anger at the death of one of their members and started circling me.

"Look out!" I heard the pegasus shout, I turn around and blocked the wolf I thought I killed lunge at me, using my sword to block the wolf and threw him towards another wolf.

"Next time I'm gonna make sure you stay dead!" I shouted as two of then ran towards me, I used my sword to slice off one of their heads but the other lunged at me from my side, I reached out and grabbed it by the throat and crushed it. Two more lunged at me while I was distracted. I stabbed one straight through the chest but the other bite down hard on my forearm, I groaned in pain and quickly threw it off me, they may be made out of sticks, but they sure as hell have the same bite strength as real wolves, luckily my jacket was still strong enough to hold off their bite. Thank God I had Lucius make me some upgrades to my gear all those years ago.

"Okay, clearly this won't be enough, try this on for size!" I sheathed my sword and then summoned the All-Blades in my hands. A pair of mythical flaming blades appeared in my hands "Didn't honestly think that could work." I smirked, twirling the All-Blades in my hands I leaped forward, slashing at two of the wolves, their bodies bursting into flames as they finally stayed dead.

"I don't fear death. Death FEARS ME!" I shouted as I started hacking and slashing the rest of the wolves, grinning as I watched them get slashed into pieces and burn into nothing.

"AAAAAAH!" I turned and went wide eyed, I was so busy that I didn't realize that one had circled behind me and was walking towards the pegasus. In my eyes I could see Barbara lying on her back with a gun shot in her stomach, bleeding out. My mom lying in the bathtub after she overdosed. Alfred lying on his deathbed. And the rest of my family dying and I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING!

"NOT AGAIN!" I screamed as I rushed forward and got between the wolf and pegasus just before it lunged at her, it bit down near my neck, a small gap in my armor and jacket and drew blood "AARGH!" I stabbed it straight through the chest and ripped it apart. I panted and then dropped to one knee as I gripped the bite wound "That's gonna hurt in the morning." I groaned as I slowly stood back up

"You're hurt!" The pegasus ran up to me and examined my wound "Oh dear, follow me! I have a first aid kit in my-" Before she could finish I made a mad dash and ran off "Wait! Come back!" I glanced back and saw her flying after me. Crap! I ran deeper into the woods, using my sword to cut down branches to try and stop her but it barely slowed her down. I cursed under my breath and climbed up a tree

"Come back!" I saw her fly up into the tree but I had hidden in the thick leaves of another tree. I remained hidden and perfectly still as I watched her search frantically to find me. I could hear her whimpers and concerns as she flew off to look for me. I sighed softly and jumped down from the tree, wincing as blood gushed down from the wond.

"Gotta seal the wound." I ran and made my way back to the Batmobile, hopping inside I removed my helmet and took out a bullet, opening it I poured the gunpowder on my wounds and fired up the engines of the Batmobile, holding my knife up to the flames. Once it was heated I brought the burning knife to my wounds "Gah! Grr! Aaagh!" I groaned in pain as it felt like I was being hugged by the sun, but I had to bare through it in order to close the wounds. Once that was done I wrapped it up with some bandages, leaning back against the Batmobile I took a deep breath.

"Think she'll be okay?" Nightwing asked while sitting next to me.

"Don't know, don't care." I sighed as I leaned back against the Batmobile, the wounds stung and burned like hell, but it was nothing I haven't been through.

"You have to make sure she's safe, she tried to help you after you got bitten." Batgirl reminded me

"I don't care."

"Those things came back even after you sliced them with Damian's sword, if she runs into more of them she's a goner!" Red Robin exclaimed

"She has wings, she can fly."

"And what if she runs into something that can fly, who knows what else is in this place!" Robin said, I clenched my fists and groaned

"Shut up, already! I don't give a shit what happens to that fucking horse with wings!" I snapped at them "She can fucking die for all I care! She is not MY problem! It is no longer MY job to do this bullshit!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" A blood curling scream rang out as I whipped my head around, seeing birds fly off in the distance.

"Think you can ignore-"

"FUCK YOU!" I shouted back at them as my body moved on its own towards the direction of the scream. I kept running and could hear and feel the ground shake as I grew closer. When I finally reached the yellow horse I looked up and was shaken my very core

"Holy shit, WHY THE FUCK IS KING GHIDORAH DOING HERE?!" I shouted as I stared up at the giant fucking Kaiju standing before me, I then heard screaming again and saw the yellow horse stuck in some vines. I pulled out one of my pistols and started shooting at one of the heads of this King Ghidorah knockoff to distract it. Using my free hand I threw two batarangs to cut the vines and free the yellow horse.

"Go, now!"

"But!-"

"GET OUT OF HERE NOW OR ELSE I'M GONNA BE THE ONE TO FUCKING KILL YOU!" I shouted as I took out my grappling hook to swing through the trees, avoiding getting crushed to death as the monster focused its attention on me "That's right, eyes on me, scaly!" I jumped off a tree just before it got crushed under the foot of the monster

"RRROOOOOOOOAAAAR'" The monster let out an earth shaking roar as I saw its three heads rearing down and opening its maw to try and swallow me. I ran through the trees, using my sword to slice through the vines and vegetation to avoid getting trapped, the trees helped but they were still gaining on me. I climbed up a tree and waited until one of its head got close enough, once it did I jumped off the tree and landed on top of its long snout.

"Anyone ever tell you you have bad breath?" I asked while shooting it in the eyes. It roared out in pain and tried shaking me off, I used my knife to stab its snout and stayed on "Aw, what's wrong? Something in your eyes?" I laughed but soon screamed as my knife came loose and I was thrown off. Quickly pulling out my grappling hook I fired and hooked on to the other head of the monster, soaring through the air I jumped on top of its head and stabbed it in the left eye with an explosive batarang, I soon jumped off just as the batarang exploded. I smirked as it howled in pain, I turned back and went wide eyed as I saw a tail coming at me. The tail smacked me and sent me hurdling towards the ground. I crashed down and smashed through three trees. I groaned and tried standing up but I couldn't, hell, I could barely move. I felt a few things clearly broken, like my ribs, my left leg, and my right shoulder. I glanced back and saw the last undamaged head of the monster getting close with its mouth opening.

"Ah, shit. Hope you get indigestion, you son of a bitch." I sighed as I closed my eyes and just gave up, letting myself get eaten. I felt its gross slimy tongue around me and swallowed me whole.

"Get up."

This is it. Why did I even come?

"Get up."

I don't need to save people. That time is over. There is no need for heroes.

"Get up!"

There is no need for me! There never fucking was! I shouldn't be here!

"GET UP!"

"RAAAGH!" I yelled at the top of my lungs as I summoned the All-Blades in one hand and stabbed at the monsters throat, sliding and coming to a halt "Grr! I! Fucking! Hate! You!" I shouted as I planted my foot against the walls of the monster's throat and jumped up, throwing multiple explosive batarangs. Falling down I smirked as they went off, blowing a massive hole inside the monster's throat. I gripped on the All-Blade as the monster came crashing down. I crawled out of the new hole in its throat and groaned, I could hear the monster taking its last breath as it slowly died. I chuckled softly as I used the sword as a crunch to hell me stand, I was covered in green blood, drool, and slime. I groaned in pain as my body was still badly injured. I started to walk away, slowly but surely, through the swamp.

"Gotta... Make it... Back to... The... Ah, fuck." I winced as I fell down, the pain was too much and I felt my eyelids growing heavy. I was barely conscious but I could swear I saw something walking towards me, it wore a brown cloak but I could see yellow eyes under the hood. It spoke but it was muffled, I closed my eyes and soon lost consciousness.

NO POV.

The Yellow horse from before was running through the Everfree forest and was accompanied by five others. Two Unicorns, two earth ponies, a pegasus, and a small dragon. One unicorn had a light purple coat and a dark purple mane with a streak of a light shade of purple. Twilight Sparkle. The other unicorn had a white coat and a dark purple mane curled beautifully. Rarity. One earth pony had a light orange coat, blonde mane in a ponytail, and a cowboy hat. Applejack. The other had a pink coat and puffy pink mane. Pinkie Pie. The other pegasus had a light blue coat and rainbow mane. Rainbow Dash. The small dragon had light purple scales, green spikes along his head and back, and a light yellow belly. Spike.

"Fluttershy, what's wrong? Who's hurt?" Twilight asked Fluttershy. Fluttershy had ran into town and calling all of her friends, telling them that somepony was in danger but she didn't give any more than that.

"I'll explain later, but right now he's being attacked by a Hydra!" Fluttershy told them

"A Hydra?!" All of them shrieked in shock and fear, but soon had a fierce determination in their eyes as they quicken the pace. They soon arrived at the swamp, ready to battle the Hydra, only to find the now dead corpse of said Hydra. Rarity and Pinkie Pie both gagged but Rarity was the only one who vomited. Applejack reeled back from the smell while Rainbow Dash had her jaw drop to the ground, Spike and Twilight both stepped back in shock.

"F-Flutters? You sure it was the Hydra that wasn't... In danger?" Rainbow Dash asked as she stared at the dead Hydra

"Looked more like the Hydra was the one we needed ta save." Applejack grimaced at the horrible and gut wrenching sight.

"I-I don't understand! He was here!" Fluttershy frantically started looking around for the one that saved her.

"Maybe he was eaten?" Spike thought out loud

"Spike!" Twilight scolded the young drake as Spike nervously scratched the back of his neck and apologized.

"What... What exactly was it that, dear?" Rarity asked, wondering what kind of creature Fluttershy was talking about as she looked away and pinched her nose to try to avoid losing her lunch again.

"I-I was next to Emily, one of the deers I take care of, by the lake when suddenly I was attacked by a pack of Timberwolves!" Her friends gasped in shock hearing this as Fluttershy continued "But then he came! It was a tall creature, easily taller than Princess Celestia, and stood on two legs. He wore a red helmet, a brown jacket, and wore a red bat symbol on its chest."

"A red bat?" Pinkie Pie titled her head as she tried to imagine the creature in a thought bubble. She thought of a tall pony with red face paint and had a bat pained red taped to his chest.

"It fought off the Timberwolves, and he used magic!" Fluttershy exclaimed

"Magic? What kind?" Twilight asked as her interest peaked even more than before.

"He summoned two swords of fire out of thin air. They were able to defeat the Timberwolves in one slice! One Timberwolf nearly pounced on me, but he jumped in to save me. He got bitten badly, I tried to help him but he ran off. I searched for him but got stuck in some vines in the swamp and nearly got eaten by the hydra! That's when he came back and saved me again. He told me to run and fought the Hydra." Fluttershy finished explaining what had happened

"Thank Goodness you're alright, darling."

"I wouldn't be if it wasn't for him, oh I hope he's alright." Fluttershy looked down as she hoped he was safe, remembering the bite he had taken and the possible more injuries he sustained from fighting the Hydra

"Did he use these?" Rainbow pointed at the two batarangs sticking out from a tree.

"Yes, he used those to help cut me down from the vines." Fluttershy said. Twilight used her magic to pull out the batarangs to examine them

"Hmm... Razor sharp. Lightweight. Clearly used for throwing. Made out of... Steel. Interesting." Twilight said as she smiled "I'm glad your safe, Fluttershy, and from what you told us whoever this pony, or creature, is is clearly good. But we should try to find him, no one could fight a Hydra and come out unscathed." They all nodded in agreement

"Any ideas on where he might be?" Spike asked

"Hmm.. What about Zecora? Maybe she's seen him?" Applejack suggested

"That seems like a good place to start, we should also send a letter to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, this could be a whole new species of creatures! The biggest discovery in all of Equestrian science!" Twilight squealed with joy at the thought of new knowledge they could gain

"Boring! I wanna know how this thing fights!" Rainbow punched her hooves together.

"We can talk about that later, now let's get going!" Applejack told them as they ran off to Zecora's place.
