[David Lance POV]
I had no intention of losing.
Brainiac had the upper hand, but I would figure it out, it was simply a matter of adapting.
Now it was time to test things out, and see what I have to work with.
"Last time we saw each other, you had two rings in your possession," Brainiac started, walking towards me as if taking a stroll. "My radar is getting some readings you have one more. Feel free to use it."
So he knows about the fear ring, so much for the element of surprise, that's not good. But I will play around it.
"I don't need that to defeat you," I replied, taunting the robot with a smile on my face, earning a pause from the robot.
Then, as expected, Brainiac took the bait I had laid out for him and rushed right over to me. Despite his new body size and bulk, his speed was quite impressive, on par with mine.
Concentrating on his movements, I moved. I shifted to the side at the last second, avoiding his first attack, and easily dodging the second with a quick dash to the skies, where I blasted him with a beam from all of my rings.
Tanking the attack, Brainiac darted toward me without any delay, trying to grapple me. But with a swift motion, I once again dodged him and used the opportunity to launch my own attack on him with an onslaught of hail from my power rings.
Pushing my pain aside, I rushed forward at light speed, my power rings propelling me faster and faster as I flew straight for Brainiac. Surprised by my change of action, Brainiac tried to fire a beam at me once again, but this time I was ready for him and moved before the beam could activate.
Then, once I had closed up the distance between us, I threw a hard hook at his face, sending Brainiac flying and crashing against a nearby mountain.
"I have nothing else to learn from this fight, you fulfilled your purpose," Brainiac spoke, flying off the mountain I had sent him to, his arms shaping into energy blades. "Time to be dissected." Having said that, Brainiac gave his blades a quick wave upwards, and then toward me from where he was standing.
Suddenly a large wind was emitted from the bottom of the blades moving rapidly toward me, I dodged the first current of winds, but the second hit me, though, for some reason, I felt no pain.
"Don't worry, I will reattach your limb once I analyze your body, you won't be alive to see it through though," Brainiac said, looking at the ground. I followed his gaze and saw that one of my legs had been cut off from me.
I cracked a smile. God, I was so fucking lucky, had he aimed for the head, I would've probably died without realizing what he had done, now I know, I ought to be thankful the greatest idiots are those who are too smart for their own good.
"Don't bother," I smiled, levitating the recently amputated leg from where it was, and putting it back in place with the blue ring. "I can't mend my wounds just fine."
Healing wounds with the blue ring was simple, if you had enough power, and had a green lantern ring. For some reason, both rings empowered each other.
"Impressive. But will it help you mend the wounds I will inflict on the girl known as Raven?" Brainiac replied, his lifeless eyes staring into mine.
I froze.
"Choose your next words carefully," I warned, glaring at him with rage and hate I hadn't felt since Superman.
"I will kill you, and her, and then everybody else," Brainiac replied.

[Lucifer THE SEXIEST POV]
Huh, well I guess that's that for Alexa. He had to bring the girl. I wonder when the villain will learn to have class, and a functioning brain. Oh well, time to have some televised fun.
