57 Serpent Society

On top of a building somewhere in New York

The four figures came out from shadows in a threatening manner, they quickly surrounded me. Facing me are villains from the Serpent Society organization that have snake-themed appearance and powers. They are a super villains society that take jobs from criminal organization. Their members consist of King Cobra, Anaconda, Bushmaster and Rattlesnake.

"What the Serpent Society want with me?" I said as I held my electric sticks (electric escrima sticks) in my hands.

"You don't need to know!" hissed King Cobra. King Cobra is a villain who possesses superhuman speed and a great degree of flexibility. He is a skilled wrestler that use weapon such as wrist launchers that shoot poison darts. His snake theme costume is based of a King Cobra.

"Give up, Nightwing! We have block all the signals around this area. You won't be able to call your friends for help" said Anaconda smirking as she flex her fingers. She is villain with snake motif based on the anaconda. She is given cybernetic surgery that give her superhuman strong tentacle-like arms and legs that she uses to constrict her foes. She also has implanted gills that allow her to breathe underwater.

"Is it true, Oracles?" I said softly

"Yes, it seem that they have just powered up a signal jammer. Give me several minutes, i will override their system" replied Oracle.

Bushmaster hissed angrily said "We have been waiting for several days in the sewers for you!" as he slithered behind me. Bushmaster is a quadriplegic who possesses cybernetic arms with a blade like claw on each hand and lower half body of a snake like tail.

"Wow! I didn't know you are such a huge fan but.... Damn it! You really stink!" I asked as they slowly position themselves to surround me.

King Cobra arrogantly replied "Funny guy, huh! Lets just say you worth more dead than alive!"

"Since you are going to kill me, I am going to ask who send you?" I say as I prepared for any sudden attack.

Rattlesnake with his tail rattling stood in silence nearby as he glared at me. Rattlesnake has a bionic tail that can generate and shoot vibrations blast.

"So strong silent type, huh!" I said as I glance at Rattlesnake, suddenly without warning Rattlesnake's tail start shooting vibration blasts towards me.

I quickly dodge to the side as the blasts continue hitting the ground sending pieces concretes and bricks flying everywhere.

Bang!!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!!

"Hey, it is not my fault that you stayed in the sewers that long!" I said as I avoided another attack from Bushmaster's blade and send him flying backward with a kick to the chest.

Anaconda throw several punches towards me with her elongating arms shouted "Stay still!" as I somersaulted away avoiding her attacks and Rattlesnake's blasts at the same time.

"Who?" Anaconda growled as she continue aiming her punch towards me.

Seeing both Anaconda's and Rattlesnake's attack approach me, I quickly push King Cobra from behind to block me from their attacks saying "King Cobra, I choose you!"(Pokemon joke).

As both of their attacks hit him, King Cobra is send flying off the rooftop due to the impact shouting "Arghhh!!! Shit!!!!....You idiots!!!!" as he fall from the rooftop and smash into the ground below.

"Sorry, it is not my fault!" I said innocently as I charged towards Bushmaster who is slithering towards me at lightning speed.

Bushmaster gave a cold smile as the distance between us drew closer. The moment we are in striking distance with each other, Bushmaster lowered his body and took the initiative to attack my leg with a swing of his right hand.

Avoiding his attack by leaping over his body, I rotated my body in the air and send my stick smashing downwards towards his head.

But before my attack could hit him, I was force to block an attack from Anaconda by crossing my arm as her punch send me involuntarily flying backward. While I was still in the air, I rotated my body and fall back onto my feet.

Rattlesnake and Anaconda continue their attacks as I avoid the incoming blasts and punches by moving side to side. Taking out my electric wingdings, I throw it towards both of them. Anaconda and Rattlesnake is force to stop their attack as they avoid my wingdings.

Anaconda was hit in the shoulder by one of the electric wingding, giving her a sudden jolt of electricity sending her staggering in pain. While Rattlesnake avoided the wingdings by quickly jumping behind a wall.

King Cobra finally climb back up to the rooftop groan in pain said "You will pay for that!" as he pointed his wrist launcher towards me and started shooting poison darts.

While running around the rooftop to avoid his attack, I throw an explosive wingding towards his feet.

King Cobra give a cold snort as he step back to avoid the wingding said "You miss!" as he continue shooting his darts.

Without warning the wingding exploded sending him flying off the rooftop again, King Cobra shouted "Fuck!!!! Not again!! Arghhh...!!" followed by a loud thud.

Bushmaster approach me from behind and thrust his blade towards my back hoping to catch me off guard. I quickly turn around and use one of my stick to block his attack, while the other I use to smash his shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Bushmaster's right cybernetic arm came off from his shoulder due to the hit. Both of us look at each other in surprise before Bushmaster swing his left arm toward me shouting "Die!!".

Blocking his attack, I use my stick to electrocute him sending falling to the ground paralyze and with spasm. Just as I was going to pull off his other cybernetic arm, I jump backward avoid an attack from Rattlesnake.

Anaconda and Rattlesnake stood side by side as they started attacking me from a distance.

I quickly rolled on the floor, grab Bushmaster from the ground and put him in front of me like a shield to block all their attacks.

"Come on! Attack me! Show me what you got! My shield can block all attack" I said taunting them as I continue swinging Bushmaster to receive all their attacks.

"Put him down! I thought you are suppose to be a hero!" shouted Anaconda in frustration.

"You are trying to kill me! Of course I will do anything to protect myself" I replied as I throw Bushmaster towards Rattlesnake.

The unconscious Bushmaster smashed into Rattlesnake as both of them is send tumbling backward together due to the impact as if they are in a car accident.

Anaconda watch in a baffled manner as both Bushmaster and Rattlesnake is send tumbling and rolling backward. Feeling frightened, she took a step backward as she stared at me before blurting out in shock "Are you kidding me?"

"Who send you?" I asked in a threatening tone.

"Die you monster!" King Cobra shouted suddenly from behind me as he start poison darts again.

Reacting quickly to the sudden attack, I did a cartwheel to avoid the attack replying "Wait I am confuse. How I end up being the monster here?" before running towards Anaconda.

Dodging attacks both King Cobra's attack from behind and Anaconda's attack from the front, I quickly run towards Anaconda. I slide underneath her legs and delivered a hit squarely at the back of her body with a kick.

With a deep groan, she is send flying toward King Cobra who quickly jump to the side to avoid her.

King Cobra sighed in relieve saying to himself "Phew!! Nearly fall off the rooftop for the third time".

Suddenly from the shadow behind me, another figure suddenly appear as his arm bend in a strange manner delivering an attack towards my throat.

Bending my body sideways, the man's claws narrowly missed my throat. Jumping away from my new opponent, I saw Death Adder. Death Adder is a mute killer who possessed extended talons which contained deadly venom and bio engineered poison-spiked tail

"Damn... so close" King Cobra grumbled to himself.

Looking at them, it seems like Death Adder was suppose to take me out by surprise.

Death Adder quickly run towards me and continues swinging his talon in effort to cut me while I continue avoiding his attacks by stepping backward.

"You know snake don't have claws, right?" I said as I move towards him and tilted my head at the last moment to the side to avoid his attack.

Swing my fist toward Death Adder's face, my fist send him flying towards Rattlesnake who is struggling to get back up onto his feet. Sending both of them smashing into each other and entangled on the ground.

All members of the Serpent Society except Bushmaster (unconscious) got back up to their feet and glared at me angrily while at the same time try to catch their breath.

Seeing that they have not given up, I sighed to myself in disappointment.
