-Chapter Twelve-

A True Kryptonian

Clark glared at Cole dangerously. Cole looked at him impressed. "You must be Clark," Cole said shrugging Clark off. " We've met before," he joked.

Clark floated down to ground. "You have something that belongs to me," Clark snarled dangerously. He walked over to Cole until they were faced to face.

Cole laughed and walked around Clark like a tiger circling its prey. Clark stood unfazed. "You know, you're something," Cole jeered. "The Last Son. Has a ring to it doesn't it. But, a sadness to it. You're the last aren't you."

Cole had hit a mark. Clark's eyes sparkled as Cole goaded him. "The last Son of Krypton, you were just a baby when you lost your parents," Cole jeered triumphantly. "I used to think you were a legend. The powerful force that would bring demons to their rightful place as ruler of all. But, now I see you for what you are... weak. A sad little boy lost in the scramble of humanity with a naive dream that he can make a difference."

Cole flew across the room as Clark spun around angrily punching him in the face. "At least I'm not out to hurt the people I love," Clark spat back. "Like you did Phoebe." Cole glared at him angrily, "you had her and you gave her up for your own lust for power until, finally it's consumed you." Clark extended a hand to Cole, "but, its not too late. Just let go off the power and you own dark abyss and you could have her again. If you just try."

Cole looked at Phoebe hopefully. He glared at Clark as he saw the hate in her eyes. He took Clark's hand and suddenly, punched him in the gut. Clark groaned and bent down in pain. Cole punched his head down to the ground then, punched him throwing him across the room. "You lie," Cole spat at Clark. "But, she will be mine once I dispose of you and take this world for MYSELF!"

He zoomed at Clark spearing into his chest. The two of the crashed into elevator denting the wall. The elevator began to rock. Clark grabbed hold of Cole slamming him against the opposite wall before punching him in the face repeatedly. Cole kneed Clark in the stomach. Clark feel to the ground. Cole punched him in the face knocking through the elevator floor.

Clark fell through the dark elevator shaft stopping himself midway. He hovered glaring up at the elevator. His eyes flared a fiery colour and two fiery streaks shot out of his eyes and fired at Cole. Clark kicked off from the air and flew up to Cole. Clark slammed through the floor of the elevator punching Cole through the ceiling and up through the roof. Clark turned to the penthouse just as Cole dropped through the ceiling.

"That all you got," Cole jeered arrogantly.

"I haven't even started yet," Clark growled angrily.

"Good," Cole said throwing a fireball at Clark. The fireball knocked Clark into the elevator. The elevator gave way and rocketed down through the shaft. Cole smiled, "Cos, neither have I." He turned to the girls. He flung his arms and they all flew against the wall pinned onto it. "I'll be back soon. Don't go anywhere." He zoomed down the elevator shaft. A large explosion occurred followed by even more explosions.

"This is just great," Piper groaned. "Clark's fighting Cole, the rock thingy didn't work and we're stuck to a wall."

"You forgot that Cole has Clark's powers now," Paige added.

"I didn't think I need to," snapped Piper impatiently.

"The good thing is that Clark has his powers back," Phoebe said reassuringly.

"The bad news is that so does Cole," Paige replied.

"Again, didn't need to be said," Piper snapped exasperated. "Leo! Leo!"

Leo appeared in a bleu light. His eyes widened as he saw them like that. "Oh my god!"

"Where have you been?" Piper snapped angrily.

"The arctic," Leo replied trying to get Piper and the girls free.

"What?" Paige asked take aback.

"Long story," Leo said holding out his hands a gold glow coming from them. The girls dropped to the ground. "How's the baby?"

"She's fine," snapped Piper angrily, "I'm going to kill him!"

"Not before I do," Phoebe snarled also angrily.

They penthouse suddenly, rocked as a large explosion occurred from below them. The penthouse rocked again knocking them off their feet accompanied by another explosion.

"What's going on?" Piper snapped irritably.

"Piper calm down, the baby," Leo said soothingly.

"I am calm!" snapped Piper flapping her arms at Leo who tried to put his arms on her.

"Well, we've got to stop them two before they destroy this whole place," Phoebe cried of the explosions. "Piper do you have the spell."

"Yeah," Piper replied taking out a piece of paper.

"It's a good thing we looked up that spell," Paige said orbing them away.

They disappeared in a blue light reappearing in a dusty grey marbled reception area. The lights hung from the ceiling shining on the sea of dust. Columns lay flat on the floor in a heap of rubble. A loud explosion occurred and two blurred figures stepped into the sea of dusty light. One of them punched the other and Cole flew out of the sea of dust and slammed to the floor. Blood dripped off of his head and mouth. He wiped it spitting blood down on the floor.

Clark flew out of the sea of dust landing down on the ground. "Give up," Clark said, "or I'll show you what a True Kryptonian is made of."

Cole held his hands out and an energy ball appeared over his palm. He threw it at Clark. Clark flew up into the air and zoomed towards Cole. Cole threw them at Clark. Clark dodged them swooping past each one He held his arm back to punch Cole. Cole's eyes fired up and two blast of fire shot out of his eyes hitting Clark square in the chest. Clark flew back slamming down against the wall.

Clark got up slowly a little dazed by the blast. Clark looked over at Cole as he fired another blast of heat vision at him. Clark squinted his eyes firing two blast at him. The blasts collided both of them not wanting to let up.

"Piper, do something," Paige shouted, to which Piper flung her hands at Cole an explosion hitting him in the shoulder. Cole dodged Clark's heat vision the blast hitting the column behind him rocks shooting past him. Clark zoomed at Cole. Cole breathed in slowly and then, let out a large gust of air throwing Clark away. He spun around gust of wind following knocking the girls and Leo away as well.

They slammed against the wall. Leo fell to the floor knocked out. Piper, Paige and Phoebe watched helplessly as Cole moved towards them. A fireball circled in his hand. He held it over his head ready to attack.

Clark suddenly, zoomed at him slamming in to the floor. "Quick use the spell!" Clark yelled back at them as he pinned Cole to the wall. Cole thrashed at him as he tried to escape. "Quick before he esc…" Clark suddenly, grimaced in pain as a green glow illuminated his body as an excruciating pain filled his body.

He fell to the floor letting go off Cole as Cole held a piece of Kryptonite at him. Paige ran over to him worriedly as he cowered on the floor as the pain burnt his very bones. "Clark! Clark!" she cried worriedly. "What have you done to him?"

"I've found his weakness," said Cole coldly holding the Kryptonite at Clark.
