The Krypton Phoenix: Part 10

Chapter 8: 2020 Doomsday

It has been for five years since Chloe Sullivan went into training Lois was lost in thought. She was thinking about the last time they fought and the last time they talked. Also things in her life have changed and she could not be happier. After Chloe left for training she got to know Clark better and now they are engaged. Another fact was that her Aunt Moira was out of her catatonic state due to an experimental drug and reunited with Uncle Gabe. All of a sudden Lois was brought out of her thoughts when a hand was place on her shoulder and she spilled her coffee on her lap.

Lois: Jeeze Smallville don't you know not to sneak up on me like that.

Clark: Lo I have been trying to get your attention for five minutes but you were not answering.

Lois: Sorry Smallville lost in thought thinking about Chloe lately.

Clark: I know me too. Anyway let me help you clean up.

Lois: Sure no problem Clark.

(Clark helped Lois clean up by getting her a new skirt and a fresh cup of coffee. Then started work for the day. It was time for lunch Clark decided to take Lois out to talk some more.)

Clark: Come on Lois I want to take you someplace special for lunch.

Lois: Clark where are we going?

Clark: That is a surprise you just have to wait on see love.

(Lois just rolled her eyes at her fiancé and then grabbed his hand. Clark led her out into the back alley and changed into Superman. Then Superman took her in his arms and then they flew off. Finally they reached the destination.)

Lois: Wow Clark this is beautiful where are we?
Clark: Lois this is my fortress where I did my training.

Lois: Would that mean Chloe is in there?

Clark: Yes butt if she is still under the training shield we cannot interrupt the training. Also I wanted to take you here because the reasons we are having thoughts about Chloe is it almost time for her to get reacquainted with the world. Finally it is time for you to my Kal-El biological father.

Lois: This is the best gift and a great surprise.

(Clark just grabbed her hand and lead Lois into the fortress. Also he noticed Lois reaction to the fortress was much like Chloe thought they are family.)

After sometime they made it into the fortress. Clark led her to a crystal console and then pulled some crystals out. Finally Jor-El voice spoke welcoming them into the fortress. So Clark proceeded to introduce Lois to Jor-El.

Jor-El just watched Kal-El guide this woman as they were walking into the fortress. Also he could tell this woman was special to his son. So he just stayed quiet until Kal-El approached the console. Also he figured his son wanted to know about his friend Chloe Sullivan's progress. So he greeted his to visitors with a welcome.

Jor-El (AI): Kal-El welcome to the fortress.

Kal-El: Father thank you and I like you to meet my fiancée Lois Lane.

Jor-El (AI): Welcome Lois Lane to the fortress I am sensing you have a question you want to ask me.

Lois: Yes I do and I was wondering about my cousin Chloe Sullivan and how the training is going?

Jor-El (AI): Kal-El I sense you have the same question.

Kal-El: I do was wondering how far she has to go in her five years here?

Jor-El (AI): Kal-El and Lois you will be pleased to know that her training is going well and that in one week of Earth time it will be complete. Chloe Sullivan has shown great courage and strength as she learns about Krypton and her powers.

Lois: May we see her?

Jor-El (AI): Yes you may but remember not to disrupt the field.

(Kal-El just took Lois hand and led her to the area where her cousin was training. When they reached the area Lois could not believe her eyes her cousin looked so different but yet the same. Also Kal-El could not believe it either his friend that he cared about has grown so much and will be ready to face the challenges this world has to offer.)

Lois: Clark she looks amazing what is going to happen when she awakes in a week?
Kal-El: Well she going to have a lot of decisions to make but she will be a new savior to this world.

Lois: That she is and this last mess that got her into the situation will benefit the world. Thank you for bringing me here.

(Kal-El just kissed Lois and they headed back into main room to bid their goodbyes.)

Kal-El: Thank you father for letting us see her.

Lois: Thank you Jor-El for keeping my family safe.

Jor-El (AI): Kal-El and Lois you are welcome. Lois you are most welcome into the house of El when the time comes.

(Lois just smiled and then Kal-El led her out of the fortress to fly them back to Metropolis.)

Jor-El just watched them go and was most welcome to the Lane and Sullivan family for keeping his son safe. Also Jor-El knew that Lois and Chloe were going to have to be strong if the threat is on Earth. Finally Jor-El turned back to Chloe to help her finish her training preparing her for the last phase. So now was the time for Chloe to learn more of her connection to the house of Sil.

Meanwhile back in Metropolis Kal-El dropped Lois off back behind the Daily Planet building. As soon as they were on the ground Kal-El and Lois noticed the chaos in Metropolis. Kal-El gave Lois a kiss and then sprang into action heading to where the disaster was. After Kal-El left Lois ran back into the Daily Planet to see if they knew what was going on. Lois made it to her desk to see Jimmy sitting there waiting for her to arrive.

Lois: Hey Jimbo what is with all the chaos?

Jimmy: We don't know Lois all we do know is an hour ago this beast started attacking and killing people in the city.

Lois: Well do we have a good look at this beast?

Jimmy: No not yet.

(Just then they turned to the TV and Lois got her answer looking at the beast. Then she grabbed Jimmy by the shoulder and headed out to the scene. Around the same time Superman made it to the scene to fight the beast.)

Kal-El: Ok whatever you are what do you think you are doing?

Doomsday: To come destroy this world.

Kal-El: Not if I have anything to say about it.

Doomsday: Once I am done with destroying this world I will kill you.

Kal-El: Not if I kill you first.

(Then Kal-El flew straight towards the beast and started fighting him.)

Ten minutes later Lois and Jimmy arrived at the scene to see the beast and Superman fighting. Lois was surprised to see that her fiancé looked so winded. Also all she could do is hope and pray for the best. Meanwhile Jimmy Olsen was taking pictures of scene but even he noticed that Superman was taking a beating. Finally he looked over to Lois noticing her worry of what might happen to the hero they come to know and love. So he turned back to take more pictures of the scene.

After an half an hour later Superman and the Beast stopped fighting and fell to the ground. The beast hit the ground first and it looked dead so people went to confirm. Also Lois headed the other direction to Superman. Once Lois got there she put her arms around Kal-El. Kal-El opened his eyes to see the woman he loved before he closed his eyes forever.

Kal-El: Lois is the beast dead?

Lois: Yes the beast is dead and you saved us all.

(Then Kal-el closed his eyes dying in Lois arms.)

Lois: No Clark you can't leave me. I love you and I will always love you.

(Lois noticed that the world had lost it savior and also she just sat there holding Superman's body. After a little while Lois was pried away from Superman by her father and then they took his body. Then her father came over and gave her a hug supporting her.)

General Lane: Lois I know you cared about him but he needs a heroes funeral.

Lois: I know dad but I don't want to do this alone.

General Lane: You me and your family to be there for you. (Whispered) I know Superman was Clark and I am truly sorry for your loss.

Lois: How did you know?

General Lane: I can see it in your eyes Lois.

(Lois just hugged her father and then they left. Also they started preparing for the funeral. The next day the funeral was held for a hero.)

Mayor: Ladies and Gentlemen we are here to honor a great hero and friend. Superman stood for truth, justice, and the American way. Also he we be missed but he sacrificed his life to keep this world safe. So we say one last goodbye to a hero that was honored and respected.

(Everyone just bowed their heads and then went to pay their respects.)

After everyone left Lois just stayed behind a little longer to pay her last respects and hoped that he come back to her. Then she felt hands on her shoulder to see that Clark's parents were with her and they just stood there morning the loss of their son. Finally they all left the scene to have dinner and wonder what is going to happen now. So Lois told them about what Jor-El said about Chloe hoping the Chloe will rise to the challenge of a new hero.
