Chapter 1

It Isn't Over Yet

Clark faces his new double, the wraith from the phantom zone which has now taken on his appearance.

"What the hell are you?" Clark asks.

Supercharged by kryptonite thanks to Lionel Luthor bizarro Clark smiles, "I'm you…only a little more bizarre." Clark couldn't help but be a little scared. This new bizarro Clark had all of his strengths and none of his weaknesses, but he had to do something.

They faced off, their eyes locked, and then superspeed towards each other. They get closer and closer, neither one letting up even an inch. They collided, bizarro Clark grabbing Clark's jacket and swinging him round. Clark tried to pry bizarro Clark's fingers off him but the wraith was too strong, he let Clark go and watched him fly towards the wall, unceremoniously crashing through it and carrying on into the distance.

Bizzaro Clark smiled once more before bending his knees and pushing up at superspeed, flying towards the wall Clark just crashed through, bursting through it like it was paper and flew after Clark.

Still inside the dam Lois was in a state of panic. Not usually prone to being scared and afraid she couldn't help but let these feelings get the better of her looking at her barely alive, unmoving cousin.

"Come on Chlo!" Lois pleaded, "you can't die, not here, and especially not for me!" Trying to get her emotions in check Lois stood up and took out her cell phone "Damn! no reception!" she turned her attention to Chloe, "We're getting out of here Chlo even if I have to drag you out of here and ruin your new shoes." She picked up her cousin by the shoulders and started dragging her, hoping to God she could find her way out in time to save Chloe.

The damage done to the dam wall by Clark and bizarro Clark's fight was causing the whole thing to collapse. Cracks in the walls were letting water in and the pressure was forcing them to get bigger. Lois felt the spray of water against her face and feet realising what was happening as she frantically pulled Chloe through the slowly rising water.

"Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!" she mumbled. "Almost there Chlo just hang on! At least I hope we are." As she approached another corner she heard someone shout out.

"Help!" It sounded like…but why would he be down here? She rounded the corner and saw she was right. Lionel Luthor lay trapped under a burst water pipe and debris. Knowing she didn't have much time, she hesitated for only a second before leaning Chloe against a wall and running over to help him. She grabbed the water pipe that had collapsed on him and heaved it as hard as she could. It bent just enough to free him and she put one arm around his shoulder and helped him up.

"We need to go now Mr. Luthor. The walls are about to burst and Chloe doesn't have much time." She said urgently as he limped over and helped her pick up Chloe.

"What happened to her? And what are you two doing down here?" he asked questioningly.

"No time for that now" Lois stated commandingly. "Just help me get her out." Lionel nodded and helped Lois grab Chloe and they began making their way towards the exit.

The water levels were rising and dragging Chloe was beginning to take its toll, especially on Lionel who Lois realised had a nasty piece of metal protruding from his leg.

After what seemed like forever Lois shouted, "There!" motioning to the end of tunnel. "Just round the next corner, that light must be the exit! Thank God." With a sigh of relief they reached the exit and were outside, soaking wet but alive. At least for now Lois thought looking at Chloe. Making sure they were all a safe distance away from the pending explosion of the dam Lois quickly pulled out her cell phone and dialled 911.

"I need 2 ambulances to Reeves Dam right away!" The voice on the other end of the phone gave an affirmative and she hung up the phone and looked over to Lionel and Chloe. Lionel had collapsed on the floor obviously in a lot of pain from his leg. Lois checked Chloe's pulse and found it was faint but still there. "You're gonna be okay Chlo," she said reassuringly stroking her cousin's head hoping she was right. Guilt was overwhelming Lois right now, the idea that Chloe would die to just to save her didn't bear thinking about.

"Lois," Lionel said urgently. "You have to go and help Clark. He's in a lot of danger"

"Smallville?" she asked incredulously. "Why's he in danger?"

"No time, you have to go to the mansion and get a black meteor rock from Lex's vault. There's a switch underneath his desk that reveals the vault and the codes 8362. Once you have it you have to go the caves. Clark's life depends on it."

Lois was trying to wrap her head around these instructions and what Lionel was asking of her. She thought he may have an ulterior motive for her to leave but his face looked serious and genuinely worried. Still a little doubtful she asked, "what about Chloe and your leg?"

"The ambulance will be here shortly and I'll make sure she gets the best care when we get to the hospital. Now go, there's not much time."

With a quick look at Chloe Lois ran to her car and headed towards the mansion as instructed. Driving as fast as she could down route 70 she was passed by two ambulances, sirens screaming. She thought of Chloe and prayed for her to be o.k. as she skidded round a corner and up the drive of the mansion. The place was practically deserted when she got there. No Lana, no Lex, no security. This made her job easier she thought running into Lex's office and per Lionel's instructions hit the switch under Lex's desk to reveal the vault and then entered the code on the keypad. The vault door swung open and Lois gasped.

"Geez baldy what's with all the rocks?" she said eyeing all the different types of meteor rock in there stacked shelf on shelf. There was the normal green stuff she had seen plenty of times before but also red, silver and, the one she was looking for, a single piece of black kryptonite. Not wasting time, she grabbed it and left. "You better be in a lot of danger Smallville," she said out loud realising that what she had just done was actually breaking and entering as well as theft. Oh well she thought, next stop, the caves.
