Someplace else...

Dev was straining his powers to their limit. The Shadows had been attacking Europe for days now. This was one of the LMB's last lines of defense. Part of that was due to Dev's Daxamite abilities. The problem being, he was only half Daxamite, the other half was Durlan. He didn't know how much more he could take.

His eyes hurt from the constant use of his heat vision. His mind was tired from lack of sleep.

"I've gotten the main group of Shadows gone. Only smaller pockets are left" Dev said into his communicator. He flew around for another pass. "I'm going to have to rest soon, I'm about done."

"You should be able to get a breather here soon. We have most of Europe secured from these things, aand barriing another wave showing up, we should get a small break." Brian (aka Seahorse, the current leader of the LMB) said.

Faraway Lad was moving back towards Brian, as he had secured the area to the south. "C'mon Dev," he said, "just a few more passes, and we should be good for a rest."

"Great. I need the rest. He scanned the countryside, that was when he noticed it. The shadows were coming up on Brian .

He didn't see them, and they were almost on top of him.

"BRIAN!!!" Dev screamed as he raced towards his friend. "Get Down!" There was no time for finesse here. He had to go full throttle at them, and hope that he'd survive.

Brian looked up and saw Dev flying at him at a high rate of speed, a fury filing his eyes. "Oh...Lord" was all the Brian managed to say before Dev was flying past him, into a group of the shadow demons. >blink<

"Dev!" Faraway Lad was screaming as he reached Seahorse, but it was too late. Dev was gone.

"Oh," Seahorse said as he regained his footing with the help of Faraway, "this is bad, really bad."

"He just blinked out after he hit the shadows." Faraway said as he ran up to Seahorse.

They stood there, back to back, alone against the shadow demons.

Greybird flew in from what seemed like nowhere. "C'mon, Lardy has a plan."

They left to try one last attempt to save their beloved planet
