Chapter 7
The Battle
Of Smallville
Disclaimer: Here's to hoping I do this chapter justice! Now, let's get it on!
Emily VS. J'onn
Emily may not like the fact she was in a big person's body now, but it hadn't slowed her down any and she really liked that. She just wished she and her bad little best friend Lana could do it with her. Thinking that maybe she would change her mind and they could go back to how things were. Even if they were big people sized now. "Nah na na na nah! You can't catch me!" Taunted the girl as she led poo head Clark's new friend around the town.
Even throwing stuff in his way as she did so but somehow, he had no problem avoiding it! "Are you like Casper the Gho-Oof!"
"No, I am not. But thanks for thinking so highly of me." J'onn replied with his arms crossed after using her lack of focus against her to get in front of her.
Causing her to fall flat on her butt. "Hey! That wasn't nice!" Pouted the girl.
But he merely narrowed his eyes at her. "And what you were doing with Tina Greer and Tim Westcott was nice?" The Last Martian asked of her pointedly.
"No! But how else can we make Lana see she needs to be nicer to us!? Me most of all! I'm her best friend and yet she likes Clark more than me! Its not fair! Boys are icky!"
With his powers, J'onn could easily see into her mind and it was saddening to him where she was concerned. Reminding him of his own children from long ago and came to a decision then and there. Though he knew it was a deplorable one but he saw no other alternative as incapacitation in some way or killing her was even more deplorable. "I'm afraid, young lady, that I will have to effectively put you in time out." Declared the Last Martian seriously.
"Nuh-uh! I've been a good girl!" And with that, she sped off with him giving chase.
Raya VS. Tim
Raya was surprised by the fact the human in front of her had turned himself into sand as members of the crowd began to panic. But she didn't let this stop her from going against the obviously troubled human. She found herself getting thrown by the boy with his ability and used her flight to stop herself in midair before she could hit one of the buildings. "Sheriff! You need to get everyone out of here before they get hurt!" Raya heard Kal-El, or Clark as he went by on Earth, call out.
Whatever was said, was not something Raya heard thanks to re-focusing her attention on the sand boy. One whom Joseph Willowbrook referred to as Chardon in his mind thanks to his particular power set. Raya ducked a giant sand fist and continued to avoid it with her flying much to Tim's irritation. "STAND STILL AND LET ME HIT YOU, BITCH!"
"I guess your mother never taught you to be polite towards other women." She countered as she flew straight at him and punched him in the face.
Only he seemed ready for that as he turned into sand and re-shifted behind her and rammed her. Sending Raya flying into a wall and through it much to the fright of those still around. "That's one freak down."
It was his turn to hit a wall much to his anger. "Ya know, I never liked ya sorry ass, Westcott." David Beirn told him as he slammed his fist into an open palm. His rock like skin active.
"AGREE! SAND BOY IS BAD!" Roared out Byron Moore as he stepped up next to the Irish teen.
Having some measure of control of himself thanks in part to various things that helped do so courtesy of Luthorcorp. Tim sneered at the two as he got up and dusted himself off as Raya joined the two boys. Looking quite alright herself much to his irritation. "You should be dead after that blow, freak!"
"You'll find I'm not that easy to kill, little boy. As for you two, I want you two to help get those still around to safety."
"BUT WE HELP!"
"Yeah! Sand boy needs an ass beatin'!"
"And I will be the one to deliver it, I promise. Now go, help get the others to safety."
Reluctantly, the two did it as Tim and Raya stared one another down for a long moment before rushing the other. Their battle taking to the air and all through out town.
Clark VS. Tina
Clark staggered back from a vicious blow to the face, blood flying from his mouth as Tina smirked while keeping up with her attack. Not even bothering to shift into another form as this needed her full concentration. "You should know, Kent, I took a page from Eric Marsh to double my strength! I'll do what he and his friends couldn't and beat your ass!"
"You might have strength and bone morphing, Tina! But you don't have my other abilities! Or my restraint!" Plus, the idea of fighting girls bothered him some.
"And that's why I'll win, Kent! And then I'll have everything I want!"
She's delusional! There's no way she or the others would be able to take down everyone and get away alive!
"You're delusional, Tina! There's no way out of this for you! Not with the Sheriff, the National Guard, and everyone else standing in your way!"
Her uppercut told him she clearly thought otherwise. Said uppercut sending him flying and crashing straight through the roof of the remains of the Fordman family store. "CLARK!" Called out his parents and closest friends in alarm as they rushed towards the store, only to have a piece of the stage land in front of them.
"I DON'T THINK SO!"
"But I do!" Called out Alicia as she quickly teleported Tina down Main Street much to her annoyance.
Clark quickly made his way out of the remains of the Fordman store and was greeted with hugs by his loved ones. Even getting soundly kissed by Lana and surprising him in the process considering how things had been between them. That and the fact he had blood trailing down his mouth. "Clark, I'm so sorry for all the horrible things I said in the Talon that night."
"I'm sorry too, Lana. Guess our anger just got the best of us." He told her sadly as he wrapped her up in his arms.
"And Tina." How her former friend could live with herself after all she'd done, Lana just didn't know.
Clark nodded in sad agreement before taking a deep breath. "As much as I want to continue this, I have a fight to finish." He told her and the others.
"You'd better come back to me, Clark."
"I will."
She reluctantly released him as his parents hugged him again. "We love you, son." Jonathan told him emotionally.
"And no matter what, Tina is the one at fault for the loss of our baby, not you." Martha added firmly.
Part of Clark didn't believe that but another did and he felt even angrier than before over all Tina had done. "Get this done so I can get back to kickin' your ass at Basketball again, man." Joked Pete.
"I think you've imagined all that, Pete."
Chuckles and eyerolls were had by those present as Chloe stayed suspiciously silent, unsure what to say thanks to the day's revelations and her jealousy. "Clark, no matter what, you are my best friend and brother in all but blood." Lex told him strongly.
Apparent Alien or not, that's what they were until their final breaths as far as he was concerned. Clark nodded and then shot Chloe a concerned look. "Hey, you okay?"
"Umm… I'll get back to you on that. But in the mean time, I think you need to deal with Tina."
"Right, almost forgot about her."
Turning around, he witnessed Alicia teleporting about, even dropping stuff on an increasingly pissed off Tina. Who was also throwing stuff back at her but missing as well until she finally got a hit in and Clark quickly sped over to her to prevent her from falling to her death and got her to his loved ones. "Alright, get her and yourselves out of here!" He ordered and sped off to deal with Tina.
"I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"
"No, you won't! Because this ends NOW!"
Smirking, Tina pulled out a knife, one that was green colored for that matter. "You might want to re-think coming towards me, you son of a bitch. Because I'll stab you in the heart with it and not even blink!" Threatened Tina coldly and making him pause in realization of what it was.
A Kryptonite Knife!? At least its not bullets!
"Alright, I guess we'll have to do this the long way then." He said calmly and then used his Heat Vision on her hand to make her drop the knife with a pained scream.
Not that she would feel it much longer after that as an equally pained Tim would fly into her, sending the two back and on to the ground. Both out cold as a satisfied Raya flew down next to Clark. "Nice work, Ka-Clark." Complimented his 'Aunt'.
"Thank you, you too. Where's J'onn?"
"I… Wait, there he is!" Pointed out Raya as she caught sight of him and Emily walking up Main Street towards them.
Calm as day as everyone else cautiously approached them the victorious last two Kryptonians. Well, maybe not Lana as she rushed to him and kissed him like there was no tomorrow. Leaving him in a daze afterwards much to the amusement of some folks as she hugged him tightly. Not ever wanting to let go. "Whoa! What happened here, guys!?" Wondered Emily as she and J'onn approached.
Making everyone aside for Raya to be rather nervous as Sheriff Adams aimed her gun at the girl. "Freeze right where you are, young lady!"
Author's Notes: Ooh! Cliffhanger! I probably could have left out that scene between Clark and his loved ones but there it is. R and R!
