The pain was horrible; Clark could feel his blood boil in his veins. It was slowly becoming harder for him to breathe. He knew that he was running out of time. As he rolled around on the floor his shirt got caught on a nail and ripped as Clark rolled on the floor the shirt tore more and was soon ripped off.
Clark could now start to feel better. What ever Fine had used on him it was only on his clothes. Clark soon stripped of all his clothes. When he was back to his feet he grab a blanket and ran inside the house.
He ran upstairs and dressed quickly. He then ran outside and followed Fine.
Brainic stood near the main gate of the missile silo. He knew that this is he could start the final destruction of the planet earth. He once again turn transparent and walked pass the main gate and on to the base. He then used his powers to find the missile controls. He walked toward the missile control room and into it.
Two men were seated at the controls running their launch drills.
"Do you think that will ever have to do this for real?" One of them asked,
"If we do, so help us god." The other said.
"Humans always believing in things that don't exist." Brainic said from behind them.
Both men jumped to their feet and reached for the pistols at their sides. Their hands never got to the grips. Brainic pointed two fingers at them, the fingers phased into long sharp blades and impaled the men.
Both men fell to the ground dead. Fine walked over to their now empty seats and sat down. He plugged himself into the system and then started his work. In a matter of moments he was into all the launch bases in the United States. Five minutes later he had control of every missile in the world.
Using his superior brainpower he choose a site that would insure that the entire human race would end under one gigantic mushroom cloud. After he set his target he hacked into the main computer in Metropolis. He then downloaded the final files that he needed. He then set a timer for thee missile and walked out of the base.
He was about to fly back to where he had hidden his ship in the Antarctic when he felt a strange but familiar presence. He turned to find Clark standing there.
"So you are not as unintelligent as these humans." Fine said.
"It ends now." Clark said.
"You are like your father so naïve. And like him you will die." Fine said. Then he fired another blast of Kryptonite. Clark used his super-speed to dodge the blast, and then he hit Fine with a dose of heat vision. The blast hit Fine in the chest and sent him flying ten feet.
Clark walked toward Fine. Fine waited until Clark was close enough to use one of his blades. This time Clark was not fast enough to side step the blade. The blade sliced into Clark's arm. Clark grabbed his arm, he feel the blood. Clark pushed through his pain and punched Fine. Fine stumbled back a few steps and recover.
He threw a punch that sent Clark reeling. Clark hit the ground hard and felt the wind knock out of him. Clark stumbled to his feet and ran toward Fine. Clark flew low off the ground. He slammed into Fine and through four oak trees behind him.
Fine counter with his own heat-vision that sent Clark back a few yards. It was then that Fine noticed the small piece of Kryptonite at his feet. He picked apiece up and quickly shaped into a blade. The then used his own speed to stab Clark.
Clark saw Fine running toward him, he also notice the green blade in his hand. Clark picked up a large piece of oak and used it as a bat. He connected with Fine and set him flying. Clark ran over to Fine and picked him up by the neck.
"It's over now what did you do?" Clark asked.
"It ten minutes every missile on this planet will rain down on this spot and earth will be now more." Fine said.
"No, you're going to stop all those missiles and your going to it now." Clark said.
"Never." Fine said.
"If you don't I'll toss you into the sun." Clark said.
"You won't do it your to weak." Fine said.
"You want to try me?" Clark asked.
"Very Well." Fine said.
Five minutes later all thee missile were inactive. Clark stood next to Fine and watched to make sure that the process was done correctly. When Fine was done he turned toward Clark.
"Now what will you do with me none of their prisons will hold me." Fine said.
"The Phantom Zone will." Clark said.
"So you know about the Zone." Fine asked.
"You'll meet a friend there. Zod." Clark said.
"Zod, he is nothing compared to me." Fine said.
"You two will have something to talk about." Clark said.
"Have you tried to use your x-ray vision on me?" Fine asked.
"No. Well then, good-bye." Fine said. He then thrust the Kryptonite blade into Clark's chest Clark released his grip on Fine and fell to the ground. Fine then turned and active one of the missiles.
"You should have realized that I would have had a plan incase you tried to stop me." Fine said.
"This missile will destroy a city in Russia and that will start a war that will end this planet." Fine said. He then flew out after the missile. Clark reached down and pulled out thee blade and tossed it to the ground. This time the wound did not heal instantly. Clark fought his way to his feet. He looked out to see the missile and Fine flying away.
Clark flew after the missile. Fine smiled as he watched the missile make it's way toward Russia. He watched for a few moments more then turned his attention to flying south. He turned one more time to see the missile starting turn. He watched in amazement as he realized that Clark was still alive and turned the missile.
Clark turned the missile and aimed it at Fine. He then propelled himself as fast as he could. Fine tried to dodge the missile but he was two slow. The missile hit Fine in the gut and sent him tumbling on the rocket. Fine used one of his spikes to keep himself from flying off the missile. He looked up to find Clark also on the missile and walked toward him.
"What am I going to have to do kill you?" Fine asked.
"Figure it out." Clark said. He then punched Fine. As Fine tried to get control of his body Clark reached and grabbed him and slammed him on the rocket. He then used his heat vision to weld Fine on the rocket.
"What are you going to do?" Fine asked.
"It's time for you to feel what it's like to burn." Clark said. With one strong push the missile left the earth's atmosphere and headed toward the sun. A few moments later the missile exploded.
Clark watched for a moment and then weakness over came his body, the weakness was followed by darkness and Clark fell back to earth.
Everyone from thee sheriff to the Air Force was at the base they all wondered what had happened and when the war was going to start. Chloe stopped her car and waited for some news as hard as she tried she knew that there was no way that she could get close to the action. She was able to hear, what was going on.
:"The missile turned and is heading for the sun." An Airman said.
"Is that dangerous?" Asked a General.
"Not to use sir. It just impacted it's over sir." The Airman said.
Chloe looked up to the sky and smiled; she knew that it was Clark. It was then that she looked up noticed something fell from the sky like a meteor. When it hit the ground Chloe ran towards it. When she got there she found a crater.
Chloe near the lip of the crater and looked inside. She was shocked to see Clark lying in the hole, his clothes burnt off and his wound in is chest. She ran towards him and tried to touch him. The heat off his body burned her hands. She took off her coat and wrapped her hands in it. Then she touched Clark.
"Clark wake up." Chloe said. Clark moved a moment later and then his eyes opened and thee wound on his chest closed.
"Chloe, what are you doing here?" Clark asked.
"See if your still alive, now lets get you home and put some clothes on you." Chloe said.
"Not again." Clark said.
"What do you mean by that?" Chloe asked.
"I'll tell you later." Clark said.
