Chapter 22
Avalon, castle,
Clark swung is sword at the demon and heard a bang then a crack as the sword was pressed against the arm of DW where now a crack was in the before diamond hard skin of the demon. Clark quickly pulled the sword back from the demons arm and swung it at the demon again who this time used his wings to fly backwards and avoid the connection with the magical sword.

Roaring the demon then attacked making another slashing movement with his claw at Clark who ducked rolled aside to avoid a kick from the demon and then swung the sword against the demons chest from the side making another crack in the skin of the demon. Roaring the demon hit Clark with its wing making him land on his back hovering over Clark the demon was about to strike when he stopped and looked down to see Clark with the sword which was disappearing inside of him.

DW staggered back and suddenly glowed brightly as did the sword which Clark had let go off and was watching as the demon was dying. When the wings of the demon disappeared and the body of DW had shrunk back to the size of a normal human being Clark could hear Lana scream in rage. the glow then disappeared and a naked Whitney was standing at the place the demon had before all confused.

Avalon, Castle, other battle,
Lana Lang was furious, Chloe could tell from her face. all her fire attack were having no use because of Chloe's force field ability. but Chloe could feel she was weakening by all the use of her magic. Her powers were stronger because she was back home in her magical kingdom once more but they still had their limits, especially since they had already been drained because of the use of them by the test and healing the old woman.

Another fireball came at her and Chloe called it to her hand and threw the ball back to Lana who sprang aside missing her own fireball just barely. Chloe held her hand out and creating a her magical sleeping ball and threw it at Lana who destroyed the ball by a burst of fire from her hands.

"enough games Chloe!" Lana raged holding her hands out in front of her while throwing fire at Chloe. Chloe held up her force field and also run at Lana. When her force field touched Lana's hands both of them were thrown backwards by the explosion of power touching power. Chloe turned to Orbs and reappeared standing in front of Lana delivering a hard punch against her jaw and another to Lana's stomach and finished her move with a hard roundhouse kick in her gut. Lana was about to fall to the ground when she put her hands towards the grounds threw fire against the ground and then delivered a hard punch against a surprised Chloe.

Chloe felt her jaw hurt of the blow and the burn wound she knew she had there, she could see the look of triumph in Lana's eyes and felt her own rage increase. Lana had the nerve to enter her kingdom, try and murder all her people, enter her castle. feeling her magical power rage through her body she held her hands out in front of her seeing as Lana's fire bounced off her body which seemed to glow green again. she then let that power out through her hands seeing a bright green beam emit from her hands through Lana's fire and hit her enemy.

Lana was standing frozen when the beam of green light hit her. the pink ruby on her ring at her finger glowed bright pink before shattering she screamed in rage as she knew she was defeated. A red glow went out of her body and floated around until it shot as a spear at Clark hitting him in his back and making him glow blue and then turn to normal again. Lana was laying on the ground unconscious.

Chloe looked at Clark, not even seeing a very naked Whitney, their eyes connected and although Chloe was worried about what had just entered Clark's essence she somehow felt like it wasn't a big worry. Looking at Clark she felt the guilt for pulling him into this life she averted her eyes from him to the ground.

Clark walked over to her and raised her chin so she was looking at him again. He could see the tears in her eyes and knew she was thinking on how they left things before she left and how she had ended it.

"Clark I...we can't-" Chloe started but he placed a finger on her lips and shushed her. "I know you feel guilty about pulling me into all this...chaos. And I admit part of me is scared of what I'm getting myself into, but not for the reason you think. But because I...Because I'm in love with you." He finished and Chloe was about to say something in reply but he placed his finger on her lips again and continued "I know there are dangers for me to be with you, any normal guy would rather run away. But your forget I'm not a normal guy." he smiled and continued "I'm just a guy in love."

Chloe was silent to his speech letting it sink in then at his wondering eyes she erupting in a bit smile before kissing his delicious lips passionately. When they broke the kiss she said "You have no idea how much I love you Clark Kent."

Clark smiled and replied "Not as much as I love you" he teased.

Chloe gasped in disbelief and was about to open her mouth to argue with that when they heard a battle cry and they realized there was still a battle going on outside of the town. Looking at each other they were about to go to the battle when...

Clark was pulled out of his daydream When he heard Whitney saying "thanks" to Chloe who had giver him a blanket to cover himself.

Chloe smiled sympathetically at him and said in a kind and gentle voice "why don't you go to the castle Whitney and tell the old woman there to put you in a guestroom so you can rest up."

Whitney smiled thankful at her and then walked towards the castle. Watching him Chloe sighted before looking back at Clark. They could both feel the uncomfortable ness between them and Chloe broke the long silence with "we should go end the battle" she then turned herself to orbs and orbed over to the battle. With a sigh Clark followed her running in a blur towards the battle.

Langkingdom, castle,
"Your daughter has failed" the demon seer said in a dangerous voice to the king of Langkingdom. "and she has lost the power my king had given to her."

"Is she...is she dead?" the king asked the demon seer.

"Not yet." The demon seer replied still angry.

The king let out a sigh of relief, he may be hard on his daughter but she was still his only daughter. "I must inform my king of your failure" the demon seer sneered and turned walking back to his chamber.
