Chapter 5 is here! Sorry for not updating for a while. This chapter starts off right where the last one left off.
Metropolis
Doomsday was viciously tearing his way through the streets of Metropolis, killing everyone and everything. To left cars were flying, to the right buildings were crumbling down. It was pretty much one of the most chaotic scenes you can imagine, and the news was giving everyone live coverage.
"That's right Tom," a field reporter began for channel 5 news, "The monster is tearing his way through the streets and the authorities can seem to bring him down. He has been hit with tank missiles and has left the tanks destroyed without a scratch. We are all wondering if there is anything that can stop him. Wait. OH NO! LOOK OUT!" the woman screamed as a car flew towards, about to crush her when it stopped in mid air and was tossed aside by the one and only, Superman!
The crowd at the Planet cheered in delight that he had arrived. If anyone could save them, it was superman. But Lois wasn't as optimistic. She now saw the man she loved with all her heart about to fight a terrible monster that could take a shot from a missile without flinching. She was scared that he might not come out alive. "Be careful Clark." she whispered as she closed her eyes.
Clark quickly flew into Doomsday's chest, sending the two titans through at least three buildings before plummeting to the ground. Both of them quickly recovered and lunged at each other.
The monster quickly threw one of those mean uppercuts, but Clark managed to dodge it this time and pounded Doomsday in the gut, sending him flying. Clark quickly flew into the air after Doomsday and quickly threw a right hook to the face, earning a loud grunt from the monster as hit landed hard on top of an abandoned bus.
The crowd at the Planet again cheered.
"Yeah superman. Kick his ass!" one reporter screamed.
"That monster is no match for the man of steel." Jimmy Olsen said confidently.
Unfortunately they were all quieted when the bus that Doomsday landed on ended up flying through the air, hitting Clark squar in the stomach, sending him and the bus into a nearby 711.
The monster roared, breaking nearby windows and headed towards the 711 at surprising speed for such a large monster. Clark however, was unhurt by the bus and quickly threw it off of him before heading towards the charging Doomsday, with Lois' face in his head, keeping him fighting.
The two powerful beings grappled with each other. Clark hurled Doomsday into a nearby wall of Luthorcorp tower, but the monster quickly reacted when it bounced back and punched Clark right in his jaw, sending him into a flip.
Clark then saw Doomsday's hand about to crush him, and quickly supersped around the beast and grabbed him by the shoulders from behind and tossed him into the air. Clark flew up at the beast and straight into its stomach, basing Doomsday through several buildings. Clark then let go as the behemoth went straight into a train.
But now it was angry. It quickly planted its feet, managed to stop the train and then hurl it at superman. Clark dodged it but was only met by a punch in the nose by Doomsday, sending him back into the street. He got up and felt blood dripping from his nose, but he couldn't stop. He had to bring this nut down, and he had to do it fast.
The crowd at the Planet gasped in horror at the TV as they saw superman's bloody nose.
"Oh my God! Superman's hurt!" Cat Grant said horrified.
Lois was now scared to death, begging God to get Clark out of there alive. She knew his chances were slim and right now she wished that he was a coward, so that he'd run and not deal with the monster. But she knew Clark. He would fight to bring this barbaric being down or die trying, and that's what scared her the most, Clark dying without knowing how she truly feels.
Clark quickly got up and blasted some heat vision at Doomsday, but the beast shrugged it off and charged at Clark. Soon the two were grappling again. Clark quickly threw an uppercut to Doomsday, who quickly recovered and nailed Clark with a right hook, cutting his eye while the beast remained without a scratch.
When Doomsday threw another punch, Clark supersped out of the way and socked the monster with a mean dropkick to the face, managing to get blood from the beasts' mouth. But the kick only seemed to anger it more as it made a giant leap into the air towards the Daily Planet.
Clark followed in hot pursuit. Soon they were right in front of the Planet. Clark hovered above as Doomsday roared menacingly, breaking surrounding windows and daring Clark to take him on. Clark quickly used his heat vision to melt the road underneath the beast, and when Doomsday managed to sink into the ground up to his knee, Clark quickly used his super-cool breathe to freeze the road, trapping Doomsday in place. He figured if he couldn't beat it through brute strength, he'd use his brain.
Clark grabbed a nearby 18 wheeler truck and flew at Doomsday at warp speed, crushing the monster so hard it broke out of the road and flew back at least 300 feet into a nearby building. Clark landed on the ground in front of the Planet and looked up. "Lois is in there!" he thought. "I have to bring this guy down and I have to do it now!" though a beaten and bloody Clark.
Lois was now officially terrified. She was so worried about Clark that she was shaking violently, thinking what would happen if Clark lost. "No Lois! Don't think that! Be strong! You know Clark would want you to." she thought. But she was not convincing herself an iota. She was brought out of her thoughts with a load roar, meaning the beast was still alive.
Soon the two super beings were meeting each other punch for punch. The blood of both the monster and the hero was spraying everywhere. People saw cars flying, heat vision beams going off, heard loud roars from that monster that was killing superman.
Soon the two beings were in an old fashion blood-fest. Both refusing to give into their opponent, no matter how weak they felt. Doomsday quickly uppercut a battered Clark, sending him into the air as it jumped after him and landed onto the ground, crushing Clark. It then sat up, straddling our hero and began to batter him in, plunging his face into the ground.
As punches, elbows, and even bites completely battered Clark, sending him into the darkness, he began to give up hope as every part of his body ached. Then he saw it, the face of his angel, the love of his life, Lois. She was so beautiful to him. She was perfect, and he couldn't let her down. With that last thought he caught Doomsday's punch and saw that the beast was slowing and tired.
Clark flipped the monster over his head and soon was straddling Doomsday. Battering the beast in the same way he was getting battered before. Clark was determined to kill this monster, and promised himself that even if he died in the process, he would kill the behemoth. The beaten Doomsday quickly hurled Clark to the side.
Both super beings struggled to get up. Clark saw the monsters weakened state and despite his own, gave everything he had in this one last hit. He supersped at Doomsday, who didn't even make an attempt at dodging what was coming. Clark really nailed the beast in the head, crushing it's skull as both of them flew into a nearby building about 12 stories high. The building crumbled and began to fall on Clark and Doomsday, burying them in tons of rubble and rock.
Now, everyone at the Planet and the rest of the country waited in complete suspense, praying that superman had managed to kill the monster. Soon a loud thundering noise was heard as the rubble began to shake. What the people saw made them want to cry in tears of joy. A victorious superman, rising from the rubble, holding the dead Doomsday above his head. Everyone cheered, and Lois was so relieved as she saw Clark toss the beast about 5 feet and front of him.
But Clark began to wobble and stagger, struggling to stand. He began to think that this was his time. He quickly closed his eyes and whispered what he thought would be his last words, "I love you Lois." And then fell to the ground.
People everywhere gasped.
"Oh no! He's dead!" someone yelled in the Planet.
"What happened, he was fine a second ago." Jimmy Olsen said, completely shocked.
Lois was absolutely horrified at what she just saw. "No." she whispered as she quickly made her way down to the ground floor and flew out the door of the Daily Planet. What she saw was a bloody, beaten, half naked Clark on the ground coughing up blood. She quickly ran to him and took him in her arms.
"Clark! Clark wake up!" Lois urged as Clark's eyes opened lazily, thankfully no one was around to hear her say his name because of the battle. Those who were there, like the camera, were to far away to hear the conversation, slightly afraid Doomsday may not be dead.
"L-Lois..." he mumbled.
"It's ok Clark. I'm here. Just hang on and you'll be fine." Lois said softly.
"The monster...is he..." Clark began.
"Yes. You stopped him. You did it." Lois said as she cradled Clark in her arms, her hands bloody from Clark's broken body.
"Lois. If...If I don't...m-make it..." Clark began.
"No Clark! Don't say that! You'll get out of here alive if I have to force you." Lois said with tears falling down her cheeks.
"L-Lois...If I don't make it...I want you to kn-know that I...I love you." Clark said, struggling to speak.
"Oh Clark." Lois whispered, "I love you too. I never stopped. I was stupid and let my pride get in the way of how I truly feel. Just please don't leave me. I can't lose you. Not again. Do you hear me. Not again! Please Clark, keep fighting the way I know you can." Lois said to him, caressing his bruised face with her hand.
"I will...always...b-be with you. N-no matter what." Clark said to her, smiling despite the situation.
"Clark no! You can't leave me. I can't live without you. I won't let you die. Do you hear me superman? I won't!" Lois said desperately, as the tears began to fall even more.
"It's ok Lois. I-I love you." Clark said as he closed his eyes.
"Clark no! Clark! Clark!" Lois said panicking. She shook him thoroughly to try and wake him but it was no use. She checked his pulse and it was still going, but slowly. She just held him as she began to shake and sob uncontrollably.
