Doomsday staggered back from the onslaught of oncoming firepower. The red beams from the Typhon tank drones, the missiles and bullets from the aerial and land drones did their job. But it still wasn't enough. Doomsday growled with rage, his eyes glowed a bright red. The glow intensified until a beam of red energy burst free from them, vaporising the drones in their path.
Doomsday snarled and leapt forward, he brought his fist down, the fist made contact with a Typhon tank drone, the explosion engulfed him, but did little to nothing. Doomsday shrugged off more oncoming bullet fire, he grabbed the remains of the tank and flung them at more drones, his rage topping even that of a Red Lantern, it powered him, fueled him. He adapted to the technology that he was being attacked with.
With speed and brute strength, Doomsday had all but cut down many of the drones, a field of sparking drones was left in his wake. Doomsday was unstoppable, a creature of immense power. Something that The Light had intended to use when the war with Darkseid came to be. But the actions of Black Knight, they had forced them to deploy this monstrosity early to quell his rampage. But in doing so, The Light had lost the aid of the League of Shadows.
Dick was not happy, the drones were numerous, but even they proved to be nothing more then mere cannon fodder to throw at this thing. Diana had been right in that a part of Robin still lived on in him. Yet it wasn't enough to stop what was to come. He knew what had to be down, yet he couldn't find the resources to pull it off. He'd exhausted everything he had against Doomsday.
"Rich." Kara began, standing next to him and holding his hand tightly. "What do we do?" She asked, her eyes meeting his.
"I... I don't know Kara." He replied, watching as Doomsday towered over Diana and Bruce. "That thing, it's... it's too powerful." He finished, looking at Kara with sorrow in his eyes.
Kara held Dick's hand tighter. A gentle, loving smile formed upon her lips. "You don't wish to harm our men in fighting that thing. And I understand that. But we don't have to use our men. We are both skilled in combat. We can take this thing, if only to buy time for the Justice League to realise the danger and send support." She said.
Dick closed his eyes and glanced out towards Doomsday. "Together, as one. Hand in hand. Side by side. Warriors, fighting to defeat something that could destroy all life." He said. standing tall and grasping his two pistols in both hands. "If we die, let it be known that we died saving the world from the machinations of The Light. Revenge may not come today, it may never come. But in the line of duty, nothing is ever certain. We can only enjoy the time we together as best we can." He continued, turning to face Kara. "I love you Kara, with everything I have." He finished.
Kara smiled and the two kissed deeply. When they separated, she smiled. "I love you too Dick." She said with a smile.
"This may be it. We may die here today. But in death, comes peace and knowing that we did what was right. That we fought on to the end. In memory of those who've fallen before us, those who've helped us, those who've taught us everything we know. For our families, for our home. We fight. To the end." Dick said proudly and with a battle cry, leapt down, running towards Doomsday.
Diana watched as Doomsday readied to end her life. She closed her eyes, waiting for the end to come, but the blow never came. A roar of anger came instead, she could hear the sound of guns firing, someone yelled, a voice that she recognised well.
"You will not succeed monster. Not while we stand to oppose you." Dick said, unloading the entire clips of both pistols into Doomsday.
Diana opened her eyes, and watched as Black El came in from the air, punching Doomsday hard, sending him back several feet and to the ground. She glanced towards Bruce who widen his eyes.
"Dick?" He said in slight surprise.
Dick put his hand out to Bruce. "Get on your feet soldier. This battle is far from over. And we need all the help we can get." He said, pulling Bruce up.
"You saved us, why?" Bruce asked.
Dick looked at Diana and smiled. "Thank you Diana. For helping me see through my heart." He said.
Diana nodded and the four turned to face Doomsday.
Superboy groaned and slowly lifted his head to see two boots before him, he glanced up and saw Black El standing above him.
He narrowed his eyes, waiting for her to finish him, only to widen them when she held her hand out to him.
"Get up. The fight is not yet over. And you're needed." She said.
Superboy blinked and slowly got up. "Why help us?" He asked.
Kara looked towards Doomsday who'd gotten back on his feet. "You wear the symbol of the house of El of Krypton." She said. "Now give me your hand, I'm going to throw you at that thing and you're going to hit as hard as you can." She added with a smirk.
Doomsday growled in anger and slowly stepped forward, only to be greeted by Superboy punching him hard. He growled in anger and attempted to punch Superboy, only for an explosion to push him away.
Dick stood tall, a rocket launcher at his feet as he loaded another clip in his pistols. "Hit that thing hard." He said. Several more rockets passing by over head, each slamming into Doomsday at full force.
"Sir. You're reinforcements have arrived." The general said as he came to a stop beside him.
"Good work general. But get them as far away as possible. The heroes, myself and Black El can handle this." He said.
The general blinked. "Sir?" He asked.
"That thing just took out every drone we have. Fall back at once." Dick ordered, not sparing a second to glance at the general as he unloaded a clip into Doomsday.
The general nodded and quickly pulled back, the men going with him. Dick smiled with satisfaction and cracked his knuckles and neck. "Alright. Playtime is over." He said as he charged forward, unleashing several explosives from his belt.
Doomsday rocked with the explosions but kept at it. He was tough, built for this. And he would do as he was programed, to destroy everything he saw. He was thrown back by a punch and turned to see Kara hovering in the air. He growled in anger and then charged forward, punching her back several feet.
Dick slid in under Doomsday, he took out several dagger and threw them up at Doomsday, each of them bounced off him harmlessly. Dick cursed and avoided Doomsday's foot as it came down, he leapt up, and unleashed a few shurikens, each of them exploding upon contact with Doomsday. This was a fight that he wouldn't back down from.
Doomsday roared in anger and charged forward, he was kicked back by Diana and Superboy before being punched into the ground by Kara. With rage, he rose again, grabbed Diana and Superboy by the head and flung them into Batman. He then turned to face Kara and with a deadly glow, he roared and charged forward, punching her into the ground before his a red beam was unleashed from his eyes.
Kara was caught in the beam, flung back, she groaned in pain before everything went dark. She could hear Dick's worried voice calling out her name as it faded. All she could do was think what she could say. 'I'm sorry Dick.'
