Chapter 5: Enemies Fortorn Part 2

Clark stands, watching Kal-El's every move. Both run at each other, and in slow motion, Kal rips out a light post, and swings it at Clark. Clark braces himself, his arms gaurd his face and left side of his body as the pipe slams into him. It bends around his body, the metal breaks apert, shrapnel flies around them. Clark runs at Kal, slamming him through the air, straight into a building. The bricks and morter fall on Kal, but do no damage to him. Clark tries to pick Kal up, but in superspeed, Kal jumps up, and roundhouse kicks Clark, sending him backwards, straight into the street, pavement ripping open when he hits.

"There's no use in fighting me, Clark. You can never win. I am the Last Son, and I will prevail in this battle."

"I will win this, and I will make sure you never see the light of day again. I let you out, and now, I will make you get back in." Clark states, firing his heat vision at Kal's chest.

His anger ever quenching, ignites through Kal, and throws him back, farther into the building. Clark starts to walk closer, continuingly throwing back Kal, the fire doing nothing to his skin.

"You'll have to do better than that to defeat me, Clark Kent. I am immortal."

Clark superspeeds and picks up Kal, but he anticipate the move, flipping Clark, and throwing him out the main store window. He is thrown into a yellow cab, and breaks through the door, flying through it, and impacting into a brick wall. CRACK! yells the sound of Clark's skull banging against the wall, slight blood trickles down his nose. His vision starts to blur, but can still quite clearly see Kal-El walking out of the store, droplets of blood trickling down his ear. Kal notices the blood, and wipes it off.

"Kudos, Clark. You made me bleed. Of course, this is also your blood... and so have I made you bleed." Kal states, a slight shine in his purple eyes.

Clark scowls, the pain from his head throbs with every pulse from his heart, a migraine overtaking his system. Kal walks over to Clark, and picks him up by his robes, beginning to push Clark into the brick wall. With every hit, the brick wall crumbles more, and more blood starts to trickle. Even with every hit, Clark stands to smile.

"It seems your not as immortal as you once thought, Kal-El."

"I am not close to death as you are, Clark, but I envy your judgement." He states before throwing Clark 100 feet away, this time into a fire hydrant, blowing a fountain of water into the air. Clark lands on the pavement, more blood forming a pool around his head. The world starts to spin in Clark's eyes, but when Kal speeds over and stands above him, Clark kicks him straight in the nuts, throwing Kal behind him, and into a hot dog stand.

Clark slowly stands up, more of his precious blood slowly moves down his head and nose. Clark directs his heat vision at the stand, and embalms it with flames. People watch as Kal stands up, most of his robes are burned off, the tattered remains barely stay on, as he runs at Clark. Clark runs at him also, and both slam into each other, creating a shock wave that breaks every window within a mile.

They both struggle, trying to wriggle themselves free from each other's grasp. Kal suddenly grabs Clark, turning him around, his arm around Clark's neck.

"Let's see how long you can stand to be underwater, Clark."

Immedietly, Kal rockets into the air, holding Clark, and he flys high above London. They are over the open Atlantic, when Kal stops concentrating. They slowly fall, over a mile high, and as they speed faster and faster down, the water becoming blue and white, the sunlight reflecting back. Clark can barely breathe, but right before Ground Zero, he takes in a breath, as they hit the water at 100,000 miles per hour.

The billions of bubbles surround the two Kryptonians, and the bright blue of the ocean starts to turn darker and darker. Kal was sending his energy into flying, underwater, deep down to the darkest, blackest depths of the open ocean. The dark blue continues to get steadily darker, until blackness encompasses them. Clark begins to feel the coldness, a sign he is becoming weaker and weaker. Pure darkness fills around them, but Kal continues to descend even farther. Clark looks around, the breath inside his lungs beginning to go stale, and ache as the pressure from the water starts to strangle him. He feels Kal's strength start to weaken, but he is still too strong. Clark and Kal hit rock bottom, the freezing cold water starting to creep its way throughout their bodies. Clark continues to struggle, to wriggle his way out of Kal's grasp, but to no avail.

As Clark starts to feel the effects of the high pressure and the losing of his blood, a brilliant white light shines out in front of them. The light is of the purest white, and starts to increase in intensity. Kal stares in amazement as the center of the light starts to form a familiar shape, a woman's body, and within seconds, both Kal and Clark recognize who is standing in front of them.

Alicia? But... you died... Kal thinks, and Clark can hear his thoughts.

YES, KAL-EL. I DID DIE. BUT IT WASN'T CLARK'S FAULT. AND IT WASN'T YOURS. IT WAS FATE. BUT THIS TIME, FATE WAS BLIND. CLARK WAS TELLING THE TRUTH, KAL-EL. HE HAS TO FIX THE WRONGS HE COMMITED. KAL-EL. YOU WERE WRONG. I DID LOVE YOU, BECAUSE YOU WERE APART OF CLARK, AND I LOVE EVERYTHING THAT IS CLARK. I KNOW YOU BOTH SAW ME WHEN I DIED, WHEN ALEX DIED, AND THAT IS WHAT STARTED THE SERIES OF EVENTS THAT THREW TIME OUT OF LOOP. YOU BOTH MUST STOP THIS, OR THE UNIVERSE WILL EXPLODE.

What do we have to do? Clark asks telepathically.

YOU TWO MUST JOIN AGAIN. TO BECOME ONE, AND THEN YOU MUST VISIT SWANN, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

How could you still love us? We killed innocent people... Kal asks.

YOU TWO WEREN'T YOURSELVES. I HAVE FORGIVEN YOU FOR YOUR SINS, NOW YOU MUST FORGIVE YOURSELVES. GOODBYE, KAL-EL. GOODBYE CLARK.

The light dissappears, and Kal lets go of Clark. Immedietly, he speeds up, hitting the surface of the water, the sweet evening air filling his lungs. He gasps, taking in new breaths every few seconds. He notices Kal hasn't come up yet, and looks around. Military helicopters and planes swoop by, and start firing bullets at Clark. The bullets skim the water, and in a sudden torrent of water, Kal explodes out of the water, straight into the air. His heat vision implodes with a plane, exploding it. Clark flys out of the water, and heads for Kal.

"Why are you doing this, Kal!"

"I...I'm doing this for Alicia. They hated her, Clark. And I want them to suffer." Kal states, flying stright through another plane, destroying it before the pilot could eject. A skud missle flys past Clark, and explodes with Kal. A large cloud of smoke fills the sky, and Clark looks in horror as Kal still flys. He speeds straight into the helicopter, exploding the vessal, its blades cut through the air, and land in the water. Millions of bullets rain down on Kal and Clark, they innocently fall to the ocean. Kal looks at the source, and scowls. He flies at the helicopter, destroying it with his heat vision. Only one helicopter is left, and Kal grabs the tail end of it, hurtling it into the ocean. Clark stares in horror at Kal who as he did all this damage, tears were falling down his face.

"I think we need to talk, Kal-El."
