(Another short one. Hope you like.)
The battle was over even before it began. Clark could not believe it was real. It was hopelessly one sided, like a lit match against a hundred foot high tidal wave.
"It's all right buddy, I had to get us out of there. Are you okay?"
"No." was all Clark could say as he looked out at the mass of casualties. As he slowly looked up at Lar, he noted the concern on his friends face.
"I should have told you that would happen." Said Lar
"You KNEW!" demanded Clark
"Of course I knew." Admitted Lar
"How!"
"Clark we were hopelessly outnumbered. I had to do something." With that Lar smiled broadly. "Didn't I ever tell you about the legion Daxamites waiting in orbit?"
"No, you could have mentioned that earlier." Clark said with a half smile playing on his lips.
"What and miss the look on your face?" snipped Lar.
"So that was the big plan? You just like watching me squirm don't you?"
"Pretty much." Lar smiled, "You have to admit that was really cool!"
Clark sighed, it was cool watching the Martians as they realized the helpless crowd they attacked so mercilessly was in fact an army of Daxamites.
"Alright, it was cool. But you still should have warned me."
"You didn't really think it would take me five minutes to scout the area did you? Come on what did you think I was doing?"
Clark was embarrassed as he realized it probably only took a few seconds to scout the area at most. "I guess."
As the legion of Supermen from Daxam gathered the unconscious and wounded Martians, Lar smiled again at his friend "Spaz…" he muttered as they stated back toward the cave to re-imprison the Martians. "But we still need to deal with the Eradicator."
