The Last Bat

NO POV. PONYVILLE.

Discord did it! He finally did it! He had defeated the Princesses and the only other ponies who even had a chance at stopping him, to celebrate he made himself a throne along with a little fancy crown and scepter

"Hahahah! Oh, what fun! Hahahahaha! Who can stop me now!" Discord tempted fate, and fate didn't like that one bit. A loud, thundering roar was heard as Discord snapped his head toward the direction of the sound, it sounded familiar, like he heard it somewhere before. Long ago. But... But that's impossible. Suddenly a large, black figure jumped off a building that was sticking out from the ground and came flying towards Discord. It was large, metallic, had four wheels and... And...

"I-Impossible...." Discord said as the figure suddenly rammed into him, crashing Discord through multiple buildings before stopping. Sending Discord flying back and crashed through a fountain. Discord groaned and winced in pain as he looked up. His eyes widened with a look of terror and absolute shock as he gazed upon the vehicle that crashed into him.

"No.... No no! You...!" Discord groaned in pain as images flashed through his head once more, but due to the vehicle before him the images were now more clear. In Discord's mind he was.... He wasn't what he is now, no... He was a man, a human man. And he faced one of his most challenging foes. A man cloaked in darkness like the night, with soul piercing white eyes, pointy ears, and a Black Bat on his chest "Batman...!" Discord growled in anger. The Batmobile revved up its engine, as if taunting Discord. Discord growled as he climbed up to his feet and used his magic to bring up rocks from the ground and twist them into drills, hurling them towards the Batmobile as it sped backwards and started dodging the stone drills

"How! Are! You! Alive?!" Discord screamed in pure rage as he flew high into the air and started lifting the buildings around him, throwing them at the Batmobile but once again it expertly dodged the incoming houses. Suddenly four rockets fired from the Batmobile and were flying towards Discord, with quick thinking Discord moved a house in front of him to take the blast of the rockets but it was far stronger than he anticipated. The last sent Discord flying back as a large piece of debris crashed against him, he quickly destroyed it and turned to see the Batmobile speeding off

"Oh no you-" Discord froze as he suddenly heard a noise from behind, in just a split Discord raised his hands as a flash and a loud bang roared out. Discord used his magic to turn most of the buckshot pellets into marshmallows, but a few made it through and hit his left shoulder and right arm.

"Gah!" Discord yelled in pain as he suddenly launched whoever shot him back with a powerful gust of wind. Discord groaned in pain as he looked at his wounds.

"A gunshot? But... But how?! Batman never used guns!" Discord thought to himself as he then used his magic to try and dig out the pellets from his body, he winced in pain as he tried to seal the wounds by burning the wounds to close it up. Discord turned to face his opponent, but he went wide eyed as he saw who he was truly facing. He saw a human male by the body wearing a red helmet, brown leather jacket, advanced looking armor, holding a shotgun. Discord narrowed his eyes and suddenly, like a slap to the face, he gasped in realization at who this being is.

"Red... Hood?"

"How the fuck you know who I am?" Red Hood asked while aiming his shotgun "On second thought, shut up and die." He started firing but Discord used his magic to create a large cloud that made the pellets just absorb into it. Red Hood groaned in annoyance but soon started running when Discord launched the pellets back down at him. Red Hood ran and rolled out of the way as he was suddenly lifted up in the air by a piece of earth, parts of the ground started to lift high up in the air as Discord fired bolts of magic at him. Red Hood ran and jumped from flying rock to the next, avoiding the bolts as they blasted each rock to bits. Red Hood jumped off a rock just before it was blasted and used his grappling hook to fly through the air, he then threw smoke pellets at Discord to blind him. Using his helmet to connect with the Batmobile Red Hood used it to drive off while he hide behind one of the floating stones by hanging on behind it.

Discord cleared away the smoke and looked around, hearing the Batmobile drive off

"No you don't!" Discord shouted while using his magic to make the ground turn to ice, but the Batmobile had plenty of tricks to counter any situation. The tires changed to be able to drive on slippery terrain as it continued to drive off, Discord growled in anger as he threw the large chunks of rock at it. Red Hood used the inferred mode in his helmet to take aim with his pistol, lining up his shot he fired. Nailing Discord in his horn and shooting it off. Discord roared in anger and turned around, hurling the rock Red Hood was on towards the ground. Red Hood quickly jumped off and slid down the roof of a floating building and rolled safely on the ground

"RED HOOD!!!!!" Discord screamed in pure rage as his eyes turned red, he used his magic to summon a storm, the wind blew with such force that some trees were pulled out from their roots, Red Hood nearly flew off as well had he not gripped a building.

"Fucking magic." Red Hood cursed, looking around he tried to figure out a plan, using his remote control in his helmet he was able to bring the Batmobile around. Red Hood then let go and took off flying, the Batmobile jumped off another building and caught Red Hood in the driver's seat as Jason then took off. The Batmobile was too heavy plus the wheels helped it to avoid flying off "Okay you damn Frankenstein pet reject, follow the Bat!" Red Hood said as he took off.

"Oh no you don't! Get back here!" Discord took off after him as he fired bolts of lightning at the Batmobile, Red Hood used his expert driving skills to avoid the bolts and turned around driving backwards. Red Hood smirked as he then stopped and took off behind Discord, making the embodiment of chaos crash into a windmill because he wasn't paying attention. Red Hood laughed as he drove off while Discord blew apart the windmill

"Alright then. Try this on for size!" Discord stopped the storm and created a giant monster made from the buildings around them, it stood about 7 stories tall and roared in rage.

"Shit, that might be a problem." Red Hood said as he turned the car around and drove towards the giant beast. The monster launched multiple pieces of debris at Red Hood but he dodged every one of them, getting closer the monster tried crushing the car under its foot but Red Hood fired a rocket at it, blowing up its leg. The monster roared in pain as Red Hood fired two hooks at the monster's head, gripping it at the face. Red Hood then slammed on the gas and fired the boosters, taking off like the Flash on a treadmill as he brought the monster crashing down to the ground, breaking apart on impact.

"That all you got, you freak!" Red Hood shouted while giving Discord the finger. Discord balled his fists in rage and clapped his hands as a ball of light appeared, suddenly a group of civilians were seen all huddled together, many of them... Were children. Red Hood gasped in shock as Discord appeared behind them, brandishing a sword

"Come out and face me!" Discord challenged "Or else!" He said while swinging his sword, narrowly missing a pony by cutting off a piece of her mane. Red Hood glared at Discord and revved up the engine

"What do you think you're doing? You have to go!" Nightwing told Red Hood

"They're in the way." Red Hood hissed

"So that's it, huh? Everything I taught you, everything you've done, it no longer matters now? It that it is?" Batman asked while staring at Red Hood. Red Hood groaned and turned off the car, stepping out

"This has nothing to do then them! Your fight is with me, coward!" Red Hood shouted, Discord glared at him and snapped his fingers. Suddenly the Batmobile disappeared and Red Hood glared heavily at him

"You are perhaps the only human I have seen in thousands of years." Discord said ".... Jason Todd." Red Hood gasped in shock at to how Discord knew who he was, who he TRULY is.

"How... Hod did-"

"I've lived for hundreds of thousands of years even before all this and I will continue to do so for the next thousands year and more. I will not be forgotten. I will NEVER be JUST a memory! I will be the leader that this world needs!" Discord said, his words it sounded... Familiar. Red Hood looked at the sword and saw that it was a Khopesh, a very well designed one at that.

"Oh yeah? And what makes you think these fuckers want you as their leader?" Red Hood asked, wanting to learn more about who this individual is.

"Humanity was prideful and belligerent. They needed a strong hand to guide them but they refused, thinking that "heroes" would protect them, but when the world was in chaos they did nothing. This world has survived a global extinction and I refuse to let that happen again. I intend to have a world where the strong and useful live and prosper. Besides, in chaos they will follow whoever can provide food, shelter, and purpose." Discord explained as he glared at Red Hood, hearing this confirmed something to the vigilante.

"Wow, such a great speech. Did you come up with that yourself.... Savage?" Red Hood asked, seeing his eyes widened confirmed his suspicions. Discord laughed softly as he smiled

"I shouldn't expect any less from one of the sons of the world's greatest detectives." The now revealed Savage said, snapping his fingers he made the ponies disappear

"What did you do to them?!"

"Calm yourself, boy. They're safe. Probably." Savage smirked while admiring his Khopesh "Why fight against each other? You're a human, you will be a valuable addition to my new world. Join me, you can have all you wish for. Power, title, riches, all you could ever want. Only if you join me." Savage held out his lion paw as a sign of good faith to Jason. It was tempting, the offer of whatever he could ever wish for at the snap of a finger would entice anyone. Jason stepped forward and looked up at Savage, taking his paw.

"Anything I wish, huh?"

"Just say the word and it's yours."

"... I wish for you to drop dead." Jason took out his knife and stabbed Savage in the stomach, making his cry out from the sudden pain. Savage roared as he threw Jason back with his magic. Jason flew back and crashed through a building, his armor holding up but the pain was still there. Jason slowly crawled out from the building and saw Savage floating in the air, his eyes red with rage as energy swirled around him.

"I'm honestly disappointed in you, Red Hood. But I suppose you've made your choice, too bad it'll end with your death!" Using his powers the earth shook and up came a large chunk of the ground, lifting Jason into the air with it. Savage then appeared over Jason and swung his Khpoesh down on Jason who narrowly rolled out of the way. Jason summoned the All-Blades and the two were now locked in a fierce battle. Their blades clashed, Savage using his magic to enchant his Khpoesh so it could withstand Jason's swords.

"The All-Blades? They are wasted on someone like you! You do not deserve such a gift!" Savage roared as he pushed Jason back and tried slashing at his legs. Jason quickly jumped and dropkicks Savage in the chest, sending him skidding back.

"Like you're one to talk about undeserving power. A madman like you should NEVER be allowed this much power!" Jason rushed at Savage and swung his blades at his head. Savage summoned another Khpoesh and fought back, the two evenly matched with their swordsmanship skills, but Savage never was one to play fair. Summoning a dome of mirrors around the floating piece of land Savage vanished.

Jason kept his guard up as he watched for any signs of the fossil, which didn't take long as Savage appeared overhead and came hurling at Jason. Jason brought up his blades and was able to party Savage's attack, but he once again vanished. This time he attacked from behind, Jason quickly blocked the attack again only for Savage to vanish again, repeating this process over and over again. Attacking Jason from all sides.

Jason was able to hold off the relentless barrage of attacks from Savage but Savage clones himself to increase the speed of his attacks, slowly overwhelming Jason.

"Give up, boy! My speed! My power! My magic! Compared to you, I AM A GOD OF THIS NEW WORLD!" Savage taunts Jason as he appeared below Jason and slashed at his chest, the steel clashing against Jason's armor as he fell back. Jason quickly rolled away from another overhead attack from Savage and rolled back to his feet. Jason groaned and pants, not being able to keep this up forever, he needed a way to stop this. The attacks kept coming, his life hanging by a thread that was getting thinner and thinner each second.

"Enough... Enough..." A green aura soon surrounded Jason's swords as Savage came back for another attack. "I SAID ENOUGH!" Their swords clashed and a large shockwave rang out, the force of it sending both warriors back. Jason fell through the air and came crashing down through a roof of a building. Jason coughed as he felt like his whole body is broken, which it possibly was.

"I... Could leave... I'm hidden here, if I snuck out now I could... Leave..." Jason thought to himself, feeling so tired and week. Slowly looking over Jason saw a broken photo frame, reaching out and pulling out the photo it showed the colt he saved a few days ago hugging what appears to be his mother.

"If you give up now, Savage will bring an era of terror and madness to this world. What would happen to everyone here?" Nightwing asked.

"You can fight him, Jason. You're the only one who can." Red Robin told him.

"I know you're stronger than him, you can defeat him." Batgirl cheered. Jason set down the photo as he groaned, forcing himself to stand. Jason looked out the window and looked out to see Savage slowly getting up out of a tree, clearly having been damaged by Jason's attack. He looked down at the All-Blades, the green aura faintly surrounding them.

"....." Tightening his grip Jason jumped out the window and landed on the ground. "If you want this world... YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO KILL ME FIRST! YOU HEAR ME!?!" Jason roared as a new wave of determination filled him, charging at Savage.

Savage groaned in pain as he held his gushing wound, growling in anger as he glared literal daggers at Jason.

"I WILL USE YOUR HEAD AS A TROPHY ON MY WALL!" Savage roared as they charged once more, their blades clashing. The green aura surrounded Jason a blades, almost breaking Savage's magic infused Khpoesh.

"H-How is this... Possible?!" Savage swung at Jason's head but was quickly married and slashed at the legs. "YOU ARE NOTHING!" NOTHING BUT A WORTHLESS! PATHETIC! INSIGNIFICANT! PEST!"

"Haven't you already heard this before? NEVER MESS WITH A MAN WHO HAS NOTHING LEFT TO LOOSE!" Jason slashed at Savage as he held up his Khpoesh in a desperate defence, but they soon shattered against the All-Blades, slashing at Savage's chest. Savage flew back and screamed in pain, clutching his chest. He growled in anger as he used his magic to fly high into the air and started summoning a ball of chaotic energy in his hands.

"Such a shame to truly get rid of the last of humanity! But if it's a worm like you, then it's good enough!" Savage laughed as he was preparing to kill Jason, but forgot something.

"DISCORD!!!!" Twilight Sparkle and her friends have reunited and used their friendship to rekindle the magic within and the Elements of Harmony.

"What?! Impossible!" Savage lost focus and turned to face Twilight and her friends. "How many of you must I end?!" Savage prepared to attack them but was then grappled with a grappling hook and soon felt Jason on his back, his arms wrapped around his neck and his legs locking around him. Savage then felt a wave of electricity hit him, screaming out in pain.

"IF I'M GOING DOWN, THEN SO ARE YOU!" Jason laughed as Twilight and her friends, baffled at what they were seeing, used the Elements of Harmony to blast Discord with a powerful blast of magic. The blast sent Jason hurling towards the ground, but was still able to see Savage being turned into stone.

"Heh... Talk about... One hell of... A light show..." Jason joked before crashing into the ground, his vision going black.
