"Do you know who they are or what they can do? They are the Zoom and Flash of their own universe, twisted and broken, they are not to be trusted and yet here we are, beyond our control and we have that within our fingertips. Their power could be ours, Bart, we are the ones that can go back home as heroes, as the ones who defeated the perverse versions of ourselves, the ones who will be proclaimed the greatest and most fearsome heroes of our timeline!"

Solomon turned to Barthomlew, The Flash, the one that he trained in order to defeat Eobard Thawne. Deciding to bring the boy onto his team was not something that he enjoyed, Bart was someone that respected power and right here, he showed it. A man without an equal except for him, they had ruled their own strand of earth and now they had come here, spreading like a virus some would say. They were the better ones, they served their homeland without doubt, without any need to believe they were doing wrong because they were the superior ones, the true race that succeeded above all else. 

"You truly know how to butter someone don't you Orion? Look at you, salivating at the mouth of yours, I tried to warn you that this mission should not be taken lightly, there is something off about this place. We are in the late 1930s - early 40s and yet there are speedsters here? The particle accelerator is far too advanced for them and they have no idea that if they stay here, they will die, they need the true energy of the Speed Force, the one we use now is perverse, fractured and draining their own energy away from them, they will need to be rescued soon."

Orion Solomon let a sad smile grow on his lips, a Solomon alone in the multiverse, no matter which was a terrible thing. His brother, cousin, or whatever the fuck he was had become something of a famous man among the people in his earth. They celebrated him as they felt his power, he was someone that had become a mythical figure and now he either had to die or become one of them. No doubt that he had the Reverse-Flash on his side, which is why Bart Allen was here with him. 

"Yes and let us hope they wish to be rescued, otherwise, they will die and that is something no one wants to deal with right now. Go ahead Bart, I'll catch up with you mate."

*BZZT!* 

Bart sped away from the scene that had been their arrival, which caused some destruction due to breaching through to this earth. Now he wondered what could happen on this earth, they had heard that it had been some time since the crisis had occurred. It was not the same anymore, people did not wish to come to this earth, metas, and people with other specialties.

"Hunter, wherever you are I will find you and I will bring you to your new home. It is time you became one of us, one of the families that can truly give you want you to need. The Anti-Matter universe will give you what you need, a family, a true bond of love and friendship. A place where you can go into the man that father always wanted you to be, a villain, a man truly ready to accept the name Speed Demon."

*BZZT!*

Without another word, Orion sped off knowing where he was going to be starting, S.T.A.R Labs, home to The Flash and Killer Frost. It was time they were introduced to the real Flash and Zoom.

Standing in new gear was never something that he liked for himself, Zoom knew that having Caitlin and Barry craft this would have been a little bit wasteful but for now, it was needed for the battle of his life. He was not going to allow these fuckers to cross into his earth and try to bring it under their rule, that was a huge fuck no and he was about to make sure they understood that as he was not in the mood to play the nice guy. They were about to get a lesson in who he really was, on who Zoom, the Speed Demon really was. 

"They are about a couple minutes away from the city itself Hunter, they will be coming at you with all they have, this is is not something you can win on your own. You will need Eobard to help you with this, I seriously question your need to send him away during this battle. Was it really wise?"

The speed demon turned his head, watching the little scientists before he noticed how they shifted in their stance towards him. They were on guard, knowing that this was a different type of energy around him, it almost seemed a little negative but then again, Thawne had never taught him a single thing about that type of speed force. 

"Trust me, Eobard knows his role and he is guarding something incredibly valuable that would very well determine the fate of this battle if my mind was elsewhere so yes. Eobard is exactly where he needs to be, these other speedsters, they do not have the combined strength of the Flash and Killer Frost by their side."

Zoom knew exactly how to get these two people with him, a couple of compliments and smooth confidence than they would have been eating right out of the palm of his hand. It was easy, simple and quite boring to be fair, he expected a bit of fight from the Flash but all he got was loyalty, now while he liked that, it was somewhat dull without something trying to prove the next big boss around here.

"We're with you Zoom, all the way, now let's go teach these punks what it means to be a member of Zoom's Army."

*BZZT!*

Barry took off alone as a grin stretched his lips before he noticed the shift in the air and how the speed force within himself seemed to be getting affected, this was surprising and he stopped before noticing the speedster opposite....he let out a gasp before noticing how similar this man was to Hunter himself, the same hair and yet the different clothing in terms of their speedster gear. 

As Zoom would wear Black, this one wore Gold...almost clashing with the red lightning that gathered around him. This was no normal speedster and that's where Barry was cut short as he noticed the other Speedster.

 This one was like him. Clearly ready to bring him down and to kill him if need be, they didn't expect him it seemed.  Now, this was something that he could use, only to now realize that Zoom and Killer Frost stood by him protectively, this caused the speedsters to look in surprise but not enough that they seemed to be re-calculating their odds, no, they seemed quite confident they would be winning this battle. 

"Hunter Solomon, the Speed Demon, the man of speed, the man of the crisis, the man who broke the Silver-Flash. So many names brother, so many places, and so much time. It's a wonder you've done as many things as you have up to this point."

Zoom tensed at the word brother but kept his gaze up, he was not going to allow a small moment like that one determine his fate here today. The man opposite him, while he looked like him in some aspects, he knew in the true strand of the universe, that was not true and instead focused a glare on the man and his Flash sidekick. 

"Yes yes I am Hunter Solomon, I know why you are here and you will not be taking the Tachyon device back to your world. Sorry...Brother but this is something that even I cannot allow!"

Zoom's speed force energy was gathering around him and began to cover around him like a cloak before he released a ferocious growl, charging for his so-called brother with everything he had...

*BZZZT!!!*

And so the Speed Crisis began with a trail of lighting as Universes collided and the fight between family and earth was already starting. Now Orion and Hunter face off against one another, seeing who is truly superior to the other while Bart and Barry Allen collide in the fight to see who is truly the fastest Flash alive!

The battle had begun and with neither side pulling any punches it was going to be brutal, both Solomon's were fighting to kill as if they were wanting to prove that they were the better brother but there was something there, an odd gleam in the way that their energies collided, almost as if they were savoring each blow, waiting for the other to connect before one-upping with a fierce blow of their own, they were competing and yet trying to kill one another at the same time. Such was the way of these two speedsters who wanted nothing more for than the other to give up and die. 

'You wanted this brother, you will die and you will be remembered as the speedster who challenged a true god of Speed!'

Orion collided with Hunter and a shockwave nearly swept over the city if it was not for the fact that Hunter kept upright, already looking around and beginning to notice if there was anything that he could use. This fight, this battle, it was not going to be the end of him. It would be the rise to a greater movement than himself, he would become The Speed Demon. A man with no equal, a man to become the greatest speedster ever!

Orion sped up and delivered a number of blows, noticing how Hunter took them all without question and even seemed to be laughing, it was clear, this was not how he pictured the fight going but he was enjoying it all the same. Almos as if questioning his sanity, Orion backed away, noticing the new yellow lightning in his counterpart, maybe there was something new here that he never saw. This was all too much and he wanted to end it here, they would not be getting one-up on him. They would die before that happened!

*BZZT!*
*POW!*
*BZZT!*

Hunter sped towards Orion as the man himself sped back towards him both punching each other as their fists connected with one another's, a true show of force as the speedsters showed off their superior skill to one another. They were trying to get a submission but Zoom had come out to play, the Speed Demon no longer looked like he was pulling punches as a shockwave washed over where they were fighting as Orion was flown back due to the sheer force of it, causing him to eye his brother in fear. 

"I told you, brother, you will not be getting the Tachyon Device. Not now, not in a week, not ever! Today is the day that I proclaim this earth is mine! I rule it! No speedster, meta, or any other force is going to step up to me. I am the one true God of Speed! You will kneel before me and submit or you will die!"

*BZZT!*
*!VIBRATE!*

Shifting himself, Zoom felt the air around him change as he vibrated his speed and was already in front of Orion, his hand in front of his chest before a bolt of lightning hit him. Screaming in pain, he found himself looking at the new Flash, the one that had made rather short work of Barry Allen. Now this was something he had already knew would happen, deciding to shift himself, another burst of lightning came from Zoom. 

*BZZT!*

Powerful, that is how the speed demon felt, it was pleasurable, desirable, all of the words used to describe the true feeling of this immense force within him. It was all too much and so he took to the other Flash, delivering a number of blows to his body and face, wanting to end the bastard who thought that he could challenge him. ,

'How! How did he get this fast, no one has ever achieved this speed except for Savitar!"

Zoom glared down at the Anti-Matter Flash before vibrating his hand, wasting no time, he thrust through his chest and the Flash soon knew no more as his body convulsed before his eyes went blank and his suit was stained in blood. This was the first death, Zoom did not even seem fazed, he seemed like he rather enjoyed it, thriving in the thrill that it brought him before it came up in a terrifying smirk. 

"And so ends the Flash, so ends the man who thought that he was the Impossible! "

Orion looked on in disgust, not believing what he just saw before his eyes as he could only gasp before growling, this Zoom wanted his worst. He would have it! All of it...

*BZZT!*
*BZZT!*
*BZZT!*
*BZZT!*
*BZZT!*

Massive amounts of Speed Force energy gathered around Orion as if he drew it from the air and suddenly his eyes were alight with the Negative Speed Force glowing red eyes. This was something else but now he knew, Orion knew what exactly this Zoom was and he was nothing but a killer. This was going to end in one way, the only way that mattered, the death of a Solomon, one would rise, and the other would fall!

Orion growled before speeding towards Zoom as the Speed Demon turned his head with a wry smirk and sped up himself, shooting towards Orion, two massive booms had followed after them, they were going to collide and it seemed like this earth would never be the same again after this tremendous battle 

'Dear brother, you are a monster and now it is time for you to rest. You've so much, now sleep.'

Orion's eyes had connected with Zoom and found them to be devoid of any emotion, he wanted to show that he was better than this. Still, his brother was making that increasingly hard, here he stood as one of the best speedsters in the Anti-Matter universe and suddenly he felt weak. He had faced many Zoom's and killed many of them as well, he felt nothing for them, they showed no promise or drive to do what they felt was right. Most had been obsessed with defeating the Flash and becoming a new brand of God within their own little earth. No, he felt that his counterparts were weak, nothing but a stain on his reputation as a Solomon. 

Now here they stood, two of the greatest speedsters in the multiverse ready to do battle like there was no tomorrow. It was clear that both would be aiming to kill, nothing was going to be stopping them, they would show one another what it meant to be Zoom, they believed only themselves were truly capable of carrying the title, the mantle had been set for them. 

This was more than a battle of speedsters, it was a battle of pride and to see who was the strongest or in this case, fastest of them all. Hunter or Zoom, in this case, had defeated Bart Allen with ease, killing him without another thought as if he had been a waste of the gift that the speed force had given him. Zoom wanted to show these fools what it meant to be a speedster, right here and right now he could show them all, they would be the ones to become something different, Hunter knew that he could win this, without sparing a glass, he knew he could have this won and become someone to be feared through the universe. 

"You stand before me as a brother Orion, do you truly wish to die here as one as well? I do have the home-field advantage, this game, this battle would have been something that people paid to see, now it happens between us both and yet you are not after me. You would believe you are but you are not. The Tachyon device, I repeat, is something that you will not get unless you kill me and the person guarding it. Kneel Orion and I will be swift, you will be granted an honorable death. That is all I can give you."

Orion smirked wryly, this was his brother? While he had the speed, Orion felt it, none of it was natural. He was dying from the inside out and he doubted that the bastard of a brother even knew, no this was going to be fun and he was going to make sure that this bitch learned the error of his ways, no one got to him and acted as if they were the ones in control. This battle, this fight was something that people would hear and feel for miles, Orion had enough and was already planning his moves, Zoom was going to lie at his feet and be nothing more than a bloodied corpse for his people to find. 

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

And so, their fists connected with one another's and caused massive shockwaves of speed force energy to erupt throughout the city as buildings shook and people ran screaming away from the scene. This was the cause of their battle, people thought that it was going to be something peaceful or minor, no they were ready to kill one another and this showed it, neither of them held back, the crackling of their energy and the pure speed at which they dodged, it was like watching two masterful users of the speed force come alive without another word. They were showing the people of Chicago that they were going to be the best, that they were better than anything they could ever hope for. 

And so they connected. Punching, Kicking, Vibrations, anything, and everything was used to gain an advantage. This was the battle between speedsters and it was clear that both were on the same level or still had yet to show their true gains yet. They needed to show that they were one of the greatest to one another, they did not wish to kill the other but would if they continued to prove that they were scared to land the killing blow. 

'He's faster than me, even on whatever experimental drugs that he has taken, it seems to be hindering from fully using his speed though, time to take it up a notch!' 

Orion sped off in the other direction and faulted with a scowl as he noticed that Zoom was keeping up with him, it seemed to be easy for the speedster known as the Speed Demon. Now Orion knew that no choice he would have to fight him, his speed, no matter if temporary had seemingly kept him going and for once, Orion was scared and rather curious. 

And so it started again, they fought and Hunter showed off with his skills in the martial aspect that he was superior to Orion who was getting his ass handed to him, a devastating right hand, then a left hand which was capped off with a single high roundhouse kick to the face courtesy of Zoom who watched Orion crumple to the floor in pain but the speedster did not give up, even if his face was now sporting a cut above his right eye and a busted lip, he was not going to give in to this bastard. 

"Hm, it seems that this one does not wish to stop the fight and continues despite his need for medical attention. You've earned my respect Orion but you know what will happen if you do not wish to submit, I would hate to kill you in such a fashion."

Orion flashed a grin in his direction before Hunter had been attacked from behind, it was a double of Orion! He had a special ability courtesy of the speed force, that was going to be annoying, now he wished to remove this man entirely. He was not going to be played for a fool. 

This would not stand, he tried to attack the double, only for him to end up on the floor for himself, writhing in pain as he watched Orion grinning in glee. He had counted the speedster out before he even had a chance to truly fight for himself, that was not fair but now he was going to be taking this much more seriously, this was going to be the end of Orion Solomon!

*BZZZZZZT!!!!*
*BZZZZZZT!!!!*
*BZZZZZZT!!!!*
*BZZZZZZT!!!!*
*BZZZZZZT!!!!*
*BZZZZZZT!!!!*

Zoom's chuckle now reached the ears of Orion as he noticed the golden hue surrounding the speedster now and he was fearful. Just what was this energy, cause it sure wasn't the speed force, this was something else. Orion was sure of it but before he could give his thoughts more time, he was beaten to the ground by Zoom who pummeled him, his face becoming a crimson mask and he was sure that he was going to be needing some time for these cuts to even heal. 

"You wish to challenge me, huh!? Then you will fight Orion, stand and fight!"

Orion gave a feeble attempt, standing and holding his arms outstretched. This was not going to be something he enjoyed, Zoom sped in front of him and Orion tried to swing only for the bastard to block it and send him flying with a single right hook to the jaw. Zoom was picking his spots, ready to end Orion, only his body started failing him, he felt his speed leave him and suddenly all he saw was darkness as he crumpled to the floor. 

Orion was about to take advantage, end the bastard before anything else happened and he suddenly woke up again. Only he found himself tossed away as he heard the familiar voice of Barry Allen and Killer Frost. 

"Leave now, we are giving you that chance, he would not have. You will do as we say and go about your brother, otherwise, we will make sure to finish what Hunter started and kill you. We may not be as powerful but right now, you're weak and that gives us the advantage as we are still slightly fresh from not fighting that much. We implore you to leave Orion Solomon."

And so Orion was left looking at them before growling, speeding away without another word. He wondered though, what kind of divine intervention was that? What had saved him from Zoom?
