"Me either, what a waste" the first one said. "Just a lousy light show" the third one said.

And that was the end
Of Solomon Grundy.
And now he was born once again, at the day he was supposed to, Monday. Grundy walk towards to the window inside the young boy's room, he then smash the wall and jump off, and start to wonder around the open field, it was silent, no sound of screaming, no sound of bird chirping. Just silent, Grundy pause and he look up, he saw a full moon, shining at the dark sky of the night. It was beautiful, but why he can't express it like before, why he couldn't think or spoke any word like before.
Before this, he use to said, Grundy can do smash you, Grundy didn't like sound of that, now all he feel was empty minded, like he doesn't even had any mind at all, like it was took away from him, and follow his own instinct. He heard the sound of boot impact coming towards him, he turn to the sounds and saw a figure, it was tall, but as tall as him. He had some kind of metal face make it look like it wear a mask or helmet, both of the eyes were black, and had three short crest. His body was humanoid.
It had red and black color on it, with armor on both of his shoulder, his mouth somehow were seal up, can it talk?. "Well, if isn't Solomon Grundy" the figure said. Oh it can. Grundy just growl at the figure, his mind couldn't comprehend for what he see, but he was about to smash on everything. Grundy growl was rush towards to the being, as he almost near and his fist about to met the being face. It stop, not just his fist, his whole body were stop.
The figure then chuckle sadistically, as Grundy struggle to put his fist on the being's face, but no use. The being then activate his claw on his wrist, and swing it on Grundy's skin, Grundy grith bis teeth, there was cut on four of his finger which was fold into punch. But it soon regenerate and heal. "Impressive" the being said. Perhaps you could be one of my space beast. The figure said.
Grundy growl in anger, as his anger was now rise, but his eye and mind suddenly was wrap, like he was now under mind control. "I am Dark Mephisto, and you are mine, serve me and obey your new master" Mephisto said, as dark red aura like energy suddenly emerge from the ground and it insert itself inside Grundy. Grundy can't do anything accept he had to hold the pain for those things getting inside his body.
And soon several change start to show in Grundy's physical, something was about to pop out from his back, reveal to be a sharp long spike on his back, a rocky plate start to grow on his hand skin. A tail start to grew from him, his teeth become sharper than before and a horn start to grow on his forehead, his white human skin slowly start to show a reptilian. As the transformation was complete, Grundy finally release a loud roar to the air, but more like a beast roar, instead of his actual roar. "Now, go, create a rampage" Mephisto ordered him and Beast Grundy simply obey and follow it.
Doctor Fate was floating as he was meditating inside his room, when he suddenly sense a disturbance, really a great disturbance. He can sense a death victim had been toyed by, it was rest in piece after he was resurrection back to live, to create a chaos. But then it was corrupted, by a dark energy from the human soul that become victim, neither it was innocent or evil one. It corrupted it physically and also it's mind. Solomon Grundy was not like what he used to be before, he then sense a dark presence, coming towards him.

Doctor Fate quickly try to sense where the source was came up, until he was surrounded by the darkness. He look around calmly, didn't flinch nor react. "So, you had manage to track me huh, but perhaps i am the one who got you" someone said, it was dark and yet threatening. "Who are you and what had you done to Grundy?" Fate ask as he look around to search for the person, "Oh i done nothing, just those mortal made my job even easier" the voice said. "Let the death rest in piece" Fate said, Mephisto didn't take those words.
Fate soon find out he was on the giant palm, belonged to someone. He saw five finger, a right hand perhaps as the thumb was at the right. He then look in front as saw Dark Mephisto's head were starring coldly direct to him. He was massive, really massive that Doctor Fate feel like an ant compare to him. "The Dark Giant, Mephisto" Fate said with calm tone. "So you do know me, that will save my time to introduce myself" Mephisto said.
"Why you disturbing the death?, what are you planning for?" Fate ask, "Those were none of your business, but i will like to use him, for my new space beast" Mephisto said. "Space Beast?" Fate ask, "Uh yes, to consume more on human flesh to collect the negative energy and bring the darkness of mortal" Mephisto said. Fate was grith his teeth in anger behind his golden helmet, but he keep calm.
Perhaps the power that this Mephisto possess were neither rival him or beyond him, he never met with any of this dark magic before, perhaps where does this Mephisto came from?, just what is he, what kind of entity he was?. Fate who was still standing in Mephisto's palm was starring at the dark giant. "You may can do, whatever you want, but you can't destroy the hope" Fate said. "And i will, once there is no hope anymore, the darkness will rise and consume the bright of light of all living beings and you, not even you can save yourself, even your own daughter won't survive" Mephisto said.
"No" Fate said, "Till we meet again, Fate" Mephisto said as he rise his another hand and about to slam it onto the hand where Fate was standing, he open his eye, only to find out he was in his room meditating. He stop floating and his feet mee the solid ground, he walk out from his room, only to meet with his wifre, Inza Nelson. "What's the problem, is something wrong?" she ask her husband as she can read his body language, like he had deal with a problem.
"I sense a disturbance, a disturbance that beyond of my knowledge" Fate said. Inza just listen what her husband was saying to her. "It's okay, we will deal with it together, if something like that happen" Inza said. "As much as i like, i don't want you to involve" Fate said. He then suddenly sense something, in his vision, he saw a beast who was rampaging in the city, he was devouring human either as he saw two of them got tear to half, before that thing were eating the flesh.
"No" Fate said, "What's the matter?" Inza ask, "The city was under attack, Solomon has return" Fate said, "I'll go with you" Inza ask, "No, contact the Justice League, and bring Amazo either" Fate said, Inza nod obeying her husband order, she then run towards to Shayera and Aquaman, "We got the emergency" Inza said, "What's the problem?" Aquaman ask, "The city were under attack, my husband said, Solomon Grundy had back" Inza said.
That name shock Shayera really much, no, that can't be Grundy, but how? but he was died in piece, she was with him, accompany him, so he can finally let go and she's the one who burried after he pass away. She even place a grave to remember him, unless. Who could done that to him, revive him, only to do something irresponsible, who could done that?. Grundy had once sacrifice his own life to save others, now it was time for Shayera to save him.
