Chapter 29
Langkingdom, castle,
Chloe was thrown down on the bed and before she could react Acathla was on top of her. Chloe struggled to get him off her but he was too strong for her.

"Get off her you bastard" Clark groaned as he slowly got up.

Acathla laughed "or you'll do what mortal?" smirking evilly he turned back to Chloe pressing his clod lips against her protesting ones.

´This can't be happening. not to me. I am not letting this happen. I love Clark, I'm pregnant with Clark's baby... Chloe thought to herself, and just as she thoughts of Clark's baby she felt a power grow inside her stomach. "what the..."

Chloe began to glow light blue and then her own power joined the strange yet familiar power inside her. Glowing brightly Chloe saw Acathla backing up. "impossible, you can't be that strong" he said stepping back from the bed.

Chloe sat up her eyes emitting power. "I'm now, but we are." she looked at the cage Clark was in and it just disintegrated by her look.

Acathla stepped back more then threw fire at Chloe.

Chloe got off the bed not even feeling the fire bounce off her glowing self. "You cannot defeat me Acathla."

Acathla responded with joining his two hands together creating fire and throwing it at Chloe. Chloe simply stood there unaffected by the flames. she raised her right hand and a blue/greenish beam shot out her hand at Acathla.

Acathla raised his red glowing force field but the beam went straight through it and through him. gasping for air Acathla looked at Chloe amazed. "how?" he said before dropping backwards to the ground. Chloe turned to Clark and rushed over to him.

As soon as she touched his cheek she felt her, the strange yet familiar power and his connect together and he started to glow as well, his burn wounds closing almost instantly.

"Chloe?" he asked amazed by all of this.

"I know Clark...it's not just me...it's our little girl too...I'm pregnant Clark. The baby combined our powers and helped me kill Acathla." Chloe told him as she hugged him tight against her.

She then pulled back a little too look him in the eyes. "Clark?" she asked him.

His eyes found hers and his face broke out in a giant grin. "you're pregnant? We're going to have a baby?"

Chloe smiled back at him and nodded "we are. We're going to have a little baby girl Clark" she told him.

Clark lifted her off her feet hugging her tight against him as he spun them around. "I'm going to be a daddy." Chloe laughed and when he finally put her down he kissed her passionately. she felt their energies crackle around them and she felt the baby's power inside her reach out to hers and her fathers wanting to make contact with her parents.

Chloe suddenly pulled back and looked at Acathla's body. "Chloe? What is it?" Clark asked her.

"I thought I-" never mind it's probably nothing. just as she said that Acathla's body glowed bright red and changed shape. The previous slightly human features now replaced by demonic ones.

Acathla stood before them one more now in full demon mode.

"you're dead" Chloe said letting go of Clark and reaching back for the power inside her. Acathla laughed and she felt only her own power surge through her.

The baby's power wasn't active any more. holding up her hand just in time to create a force field to stop a powerful red beam from Acathla's hands aimed at her. her eyes when wide as she noticed the beam going right though her force field and at her.

suddenly she felt the baby's powers kick in again and a bluish force field was created over her stomach stopping the red beam but knocking her back against Clark who caught her in his strong arms. she felt her and the baby's power reconnect with his and as another beam came she held up her hand using all three of their power she shot a beam at Acathla's beam. the two beams collided and the castle shook around them by the force behind the two powers, yet neither Acathla or Chloe stopped their attack.

When the smoke and dust cleared and they could see each other again they could see that exactly halfway from each of them the two beams were stopped by each other.

"How did he get this strong?" Chloe asked mostly herself as she kept leading all their energy towards the beam.

"You foolish girl, this is my true form. Did you really think it would be that easy to defeat me, the king of demons" Acathla's demonic voice roared.

"Even with all that new power you have, you can not defeat us Acathla." Chloe told him.

"I should have sensed the life essence inside you before Chloe. If I had known you were pregnant by him I would have just killed you all." Acathla told them.

"Blah. Blah. Blah." Chloe said annoyed by his talking.

Roaring in anger the demon king let his other hand join his right one giving more power to the beam letting the redness come closer to them.

"No." Chloe said powering up her their end of the beam by holding her both hands out in front of her. still the redness came closer. ´Clark Chloe called him with her mind, needing more power form him.

Clark front was still pressed against Chloe's back and he could somehow hear Chloe's mind calling for him. Somehow knowing what to do Clark grabbed one hand of Chloe in his own from the back and let his power flow through her hands into the beam. the red ness stopped just inches before Chloe's hand and for a while nothing else happened. Then the blue, green beam shot the redness back and went through Acathla's beams end.

"no!" Acathla screamed just before his hands hit the green and blue and he started to glow white. the beam stopped and Clark and Chloe watched as a white glowing Acathla stood there watching his hands in horror. then his hands disintegrated and ashes fell to the ground. not long after his hands the rest of his body turned to ashes and fell to the ground.

"That was interesting" Chloe said watching the ashes on the ground.

Clark put his hands on Chloe's stomach "you ok?" he asked. "you and the baby?"

Chloe smiled and turned around in his arms and looked him in the eyes. "we're both fine. Tired but fine."

Clark smiled and moved in to kiss her. Just as their lips almost touched the doors burst open and soldiers came in. "oh, right we're at war" Chloe said then waved at the soldiers before kissing Clark and turning them both to orbs.

They turned back to normal in front of a statue of an angel holding the symbol of Avalon in his hand. It was the same statue that concealed a hidden tunnel that Chloe had escaped through long ago.

Clark was just about to asked her why they were here when Chloe touched the symbol which then glowed and the angel moved revealing the tunnel. "I'm not strong enough to orb out past the battle outside." she told Clark as she entered the tunnel.

"Are you sure the end of this tunnel is secure?" Clark asked her.

Chloe stopped thinking for a moment if she could trust Lana to have given Whitney and Lex her order. the vision of a grateful Lana when she had saved her child appeared in her head and she nodded "I'm sure." she said to Clark.

Halfway through the tunnel Chloe suddenly fell from exhaustion. Already trying to get up she didn't expect Clark to lift her up in his arms and just blur further through the tunnel. He was apparently not as tired as she was. Then she had not only let her power go though her and exhaust her, but her baby's and Clark's. she felt like she could sleep for a week.

At the end of the tunnel Clark came out of his blur and jumped up out of the well and landed on the soft grass on the hilltop. Chloe and he could see that Lex, Whitney, Lana, Pete, and other soldiers were fighting fiercely against Langkingdom troops. They even noticed Whitney and Lana were fighting together, ´Whitney was protecting Lana and his child. Smiling to herself Chloe let the darkness take over and fell asleep still in Clark's arms, knowing she was safe with her love and her friends.
