Second and last chapter of my DC comics ryona fanfiction, Attack on Paradise Island; Darkseid and his abominable creation Doomsday now face Wonder Woman and Supergirl.
Another warning: this, as mentioned in the description, is a ryona novel, containing explicit violence against females. If you're not into that, don't read it! Otherwise, enjoy!
Wonder Woman glared at Darkseid, anger burning in her eyes, the coiled Lasso of Truth clutched tightly in her fist. Yet as angry as she felt, she knew that he was not a foe to be underestimated. The King of Apokolips was an individual that could challenge the likes of Superman.
"Kara is never going with you, Darkseid," she said tersely, "Her place is here. You are wasting your time."
"No, you are wasting yours, Wonder Woman," replied Darkseid calmly, "Along with the lives of your people - and your own."
"You shall inflict no more harm on my people," said Wonder Woman through gritted teeth, "I will defeat you, in honor of all who have fallen here today."
"Words are easy," said Darkseid, his hands flexing at his side, "Substantiate them, o' queen of Themyscira."
In a lightning-fast move, Wonder Woman lashed out with the Lasso of Truth, the whipping tongue of glowing gold uncoiling and slashing straight at Darkseid's throat. A flash of orange light blazed from Darkseid's eyes and caught it straight-on, knocking the lasso away. In a fluid motion, Wonder Woman spun and flicked her arm, swiftly changing the direction of the lasso's movement and trying to catch Darkseid's wrist with it. However, in a blur of movement so fast as to be intimidating from the towering Darkseid, he sidestepped the lasso and fired a blast of his omega beams directly at Wonder Woman, who crossed her arms in front of her chest, the Bracelets of Submission glowing and forming the golden hue of the Aegis barrier. Darkseid's attack struck the barrier with a massive crack, forcing Wonder Woman back a step, a wave of intense heat washing over her. Maintaining her shield, she chanced a glance over her shoulder at Supergirl.
Doomsday was howling with rage and swiping at Supergirl with reckless abandon, but Supergirl was just a little too fast; flying rings around him and forcing him to constantly turn to look for her. "Not too bright, are you?" she called as she dodged a massive swing at her head, "Say, can you talk? Or - "
"RRRRAAARRRGH!" roared Doomsday, slamming both fists down and smashing a crater in the ground, at the same time sending out a shockwave that forced Supergirl to skip backward several steps.
"Uh, I guess not," remarked Supergirl, an orange glow burning in her eyes. With a scintillating blast she released her heat vision, twin beams of searing orange light blazing out of her eyes and striking Doomsday in the chest. Doomsday roared, rearing up and raising his arms in the air, but Supergirl quickly realized that he wasn't in pain; the heat beams didn't seem to be doing anything to the monster, and his chest remained intact. Instead, they just seemed to make him angry. In a blur of movement, Doomsday charged at Supergirl with frightening speed, lunging forward and throwing a punch straight at her head, which forced her to shut off her heat vision and sidestep hurriedly. Another swing, which barely missed her face, slapping against some of her hair. It wasn't really noticeable, but Supergirl could have sworn that Doomsday's movements had grown a little faster.
"You would do well not to mock Doomsday," said Darkseid, as he strode closer to Wonder Woman, the ravenous streams of energy from his eyes still trained on her shield, "Speech is not something that I would expect him to engage in, yet he understands every word you say perfectly."
The backwash of heat from Darkseid's omega beams that spilled through and around the Aegis shield was slowly becoming unbearable for Wonder Woman; as Darkseid closed the distance, the power of his beams seemed to magnify. Several Amazons charged at Darkseid from behind, trying to stab him in the back and in the neck with their spears, but he simply swatted them away with an almost-careless sweep of his arm, the sheer force of the casual blow crushing their bones or sending them flying so hard into the ground that their spines and necks shattered. One he caught in a single massive hand, and directed an omega beam to branch off from his main attack on Wonder Woman to the girl in his grip, instantly disintegrating the front of her head, before tossing her body away and continuing his advance.
"You are already struggling, Wonder Woman," remarked Darkseid, as he stopped several paces in front of her, "And I am using the barest fraction of my full power."
"And neither am I," replied Wonder Woman, bracing her feet against the ground, then leaping at Darkseid, her arms still crossed in front of her charging body, ignoring the searing wave of heat as she rushed headlong against the omega beams. Abruptly the energy attack stopped, only to be replaced by Darkseid's massive, gauntleted fist, flying directly at her face. Wonder Woman twisted, dodging the blow easily, then lashing out with her lasso, trying to wind the coils around Darkseid's throat. But Darkseid raised his arm, the lasso twining around his wrist instead, and pulled violently, dragging Wonder Woman forward and almost jerking the lasso out of her grasp.
Grunting with exertion, Wonder Woman allowed the momentum of Darkseid's pulling to bring her closer to him, after which she threw a kick straight at Darkseid's face, which he batted aside with his free hand. Darkseid had apparently grown more resilient; the power of the Lasso of Truth seemed to be ineffective on him, despite being caught in its grip. Wonder Woman spun, stretching her leg out to trip him, but he stepped over it and swung his fist down hard at her head. She raised her arm to block, and Darkseid's blow hit her bracer-covered arm with crushing force, jarring the wrists and arms of both combatants.
The same time as Doomsday's fist slammed into Supergirl's blocking arm with enough force to crush a truck cab. It was definitely noticeable now; Doomsday had gotten - and was getting - faster. Almost as if he was adapting to her, evolving right before her eyes to fight her more effectively. His swings and swipes were now fast enough that Supergirl was having trouble dodging them, and was forced instead to block. The blind rage and bloodlust in Doomsday's eyes seemed to have been replaced with a burning, yet controlled ferocity that tracked her every move.
Leaping back several meters, Supergirl summoned up all her concentration, gathering power in her eyes till they burned in their sockets. Before Doomsday could charge her, she released a blast of heat vision several times more powerful than the previous; the searing rays so hot that they were almost white. They hit Doomsday in the chest, causing the monster to bellow; this time, Supergirl was sure, in pain. The lasers began to carve and burn deep, glowing marks into Doomsday's gray skin, forcing the monster to take a step back and raise his arms to shield himself, although it was no defense; the heat vision seared into his wrists and forearms as well.
Supergirl intensified her heat vision, putting every drop of mental exertion she had into her burning gaze. Yet through the scintillating brightness of the beams, she saw with shock that the wounds she had inflicted on the monster were beginning to heal, and the damage the heat vision was doing was dropping by the second. Slowly, Doomsday straightened up, and Supergirl saw with creeping dread that the rays were now causing only superficial damage to his skin; she was right, this abomination was indeed adapting to everything she was throwing at it, and now that he had suffered this ravaging blast of heat, he was no longer vulnerable to it. He began to stalk toward Supergirl, who shut off her heat vision and shook her head, both to clear the slight pain from the concentration and in disbelief.
'I've got to take him down in a single, powerful shot,' thought Supergirl, 'Or he'll just adapt to whatever I'm throwing at him.'
Bracing herself against the ground, she launched herself at Doomsday like a rocket, her fist held out in a flying punch that would have busted straight through a tank. But - unbelievably - Doomsday caught her fist, the impact sending him sliding backward a few meters, before spinning and using her momentum to slam her straight into the ground. Supergirl gasped, the breath knocked out of her, and looked up to see Doomsday raising his foot above her. A desperate roll to the side saved her from harm as Doomsday stomped down, the force of the attack creating a large circle of cracks across the ground.
Aside from them, Wonder Woman and Darkseid were locked in vicious melee combat, trading massive blows that would have shattered boulders. Wonder Woman was definitely the faster and more agile, but it was starting to annoy her that her punches and kicks didn't seem to be doing much other than bother Darkseid. She had caught him full in the face with a heel kick, but all it did was knock his head to the side and cause him to grunt in annoyance, before retaliating with a hook punch that she rolled to the side to avoid. Her knuckles were starting to ache from the blows she was landing on Darkseid's tough skin; he had definitely grown more durable since last she had faced him.
"Your efforts are futile, Wonder Woman," commented Darkseid, blocking a flurry of blows from her, "As are those of your protege. Doomsday has already adapted to her speed, and that was her only advantage over him."
"You underestimate us both, Darkseid," said Wonder Woman, coiling the Lasso of Truth around her arm and knuckles.
"Amusing," replied Darkseid calmly, "I was about to say the same."
With a sudden spurt of speed, he stepped forward and threw a barrage of punches aimed straight at her head, the speed shocking Wonder Woman as she struggled to block and parry them, the impact of the blows jarring her arms to the bone. In a sudden movement, Darkseid caught both of Wonder Woman's wrists in his crushing grip, and pulled her arms open. Wonder Woman saw the danger too late; Darkseid's eyes were suffused with an orange glow which burst out, his omega beams catching her directly in the chest. Wonder Woman screamed out loud for the first time as searing pain lanced into her chest. With a surge of strength, she brought her legs up and kicked Darkseid in the stomach with both feet, wrenching her arms free of his grip and leaping backward, landing shakily, her arms clutching herself where the beams had struck.
"You are still alive, Wonder Woman, because I allowed it," said Darkseid, striding toward her, "Had I aimed at your face, and used my full power, you would have been a headless corpse."
Wonder Woman looked down, gasping with pain; the front of her leotard had been seared away, exposing one of her breasts. The skin was reddened and blistered, and the lingering effect of being struck directly by the omega beams was interfering with her body's ability to heal. This was starting to turn bad. She glanced over at Supergirl.
The younger girl was having her hands full; Doomsday already seemed to be able to read her every move, moving his arms up to parry all her blows easily. She leapt into the air, intending to fly high up and use the downward momentum on her descent to pound Doomsday into the ground. The monster was too quick for her however; he jumped at her, catching her by the ankle, then slamming her down into the ground, hard enough to create an indent in the rock. Supergirl cried out with pain. Doomsday lifted the struggling girl, smashing her into the ground again, then lifted his leg above her. Dazed and too slow to react, Supergirl could not dodge as Doomsday's foot came down on her chest with massive strength, crushing her breasts into her body and fracturing her sternum. Supergirl threw her legs and arms into the air as her body curved reflexively in pain.
"No!" cried Wonder Woman, uncoiling the lasso from around her arm. She was about to throw it at Doomsday when a massive hand seized her arm in an iron grip.
"I'm glad Doomsday is with me," remarked Darkseid seriously, "Had he enough intelligence to rebel, he would pose enough of a threat to worry me."
"Worry about this!" shouted Wonder Woman, taking advantage of Darkseid's grip to launch both her feet at his throat. He was too fast, however, grabbing her ankles with his free hand and lifting her into the air. Then he slammed her back down onto his knee, the kneecap smashing into Wonder Woman's spine. Diana gasped with pain, her body jerking. Darkseid then lifted her into the air and landed a massive punch into her midsection, sending her flying into the ground several meters away.
The Amazons screamed with rage and surged forward once their leader was clear, attacking with renewed ferocity, but it was useless; the women were either crushed to death by Darkseid's powerful hands or disintegrated by his omega beams. He continued walking toward Wonder Woman, who was sitting and clutching her solar plexus, coughing blood. The extreme pain in her back was impairing her ability to even stand. She was starting to wonder if she - and Supergirl - could defeat this deadly pair at all.
With a burst of strength, Supergirl leapt into the air and landed a massive punch straight into Doomsday's face. The monster shrugged it off, completely unfazed, and raised his fists. Steel-hard bone grew and formed over his knuckles, forming deadly spikes over his fists. Supergirl was about to pull back, when he leapt forward and smashed her in the stomach with a punch, knocking all the breath out of her. The next punch came up between Supergirl's legs, the spiked knuckles smashing into her groin, crushing the most sensitive parts of her body. Supergirl screamed, clapping her thighs together, and Doomsday swung with a wide haymaker, his knuckles slamming against the side of Supergirl's cheek, knocking her spinning to the ground and ripping several of her teeth out.
Supergirl curled up on the ground, her hands clutching herself in between her legs, tears in her eyes. Suddenly Doomsday was towering above her once more. She turned, her eyes blazing with heat vision, but Doomsday grabbed her right in the face with his massive hand, shutting off her vision and lifting her bodily into the air. A chop into her side sent a bolt of pain searing through her body as he ruptured her kidney. Then a fist sank into her midsection, likely causing heavy damage to her stomach. Supergirl didn't even have the breath to gasp, her face pressed tightly against the rock-hard palm of Doomsday's hand. Another punch crashed into Supergirl's crotch, the spiked knuckles drilling up into her genital area. Supergirl felt something break inside her, and her shriek of pain was muffled against Doomsday's hand. Another swipe battered the girl's breasts, and another cracked, and eventually broke her ribs. The monster's strength was tremendous.
"No! Stop!" cried Wonder Woman, struggling to her feet and making to dash at Doomsday, who continued brutally beating Supergirl, but Darkseid stepped in between them.
"She made her choice," he said, though not without a hint of regret in his voice. Then his face turned serious as he glared at Wonder Woman. "As have you."
In a flurry of movement he was in front of her, and his fist crashed into her face, crunching against her nose. As Wonder Woman fell backward, Darkseid leapt up, and landed with a double foot stomp directly onto her stomach, forcing a coughing spurt of blood from her mouth. Wonder Woman's head was ringing, and pain raged across her body; she hadn't taken all that many hits, but Darkseid hit like a nuclear-powered piledriver.
The Amazons were at a desperate loss for what to do. Their combat abilities were helpless against the two meta-adversaries, and all the girls and women who attacked them were killed. Well over half of the women who had gathered at the sparring ground were dead.
With a roar, Doomsday lifted Supergirl's body, still clutching her around the face, then drove her head into the ground, smashing another crater into the rock. Supergirl felt the bones of her skull move against each other. Her costume was torn, her breasts and belly exposed and horribly bruised from the brutal beating. Her skirt had been ripped off, and her red panties were soaked through with her blood and urine, the latter of which was flowing freely out of her after she lost control of her bladder in pain. She raised her arms, only to have Doomsday slam both his fists down onto her shoulders, crushing her shoulder joints into powder, causing her to scream in pain again, her arms falling uselessly to the ground.
"Stop! He'll kill her!" shouted Wonder Woman, scrambling to her feet and making to lunge at Doomsday. A spear of pain in her back sent her tumbling to the ground as Darkseid hit her with his omega beams.
"You dare turn your back on me?" he snarled, trails of orange smoke rising from his eyes, "You have your own life to worry about, Wonder Woman."
Another burst of his omega beams blazed out of his eyes as Wonder Woman desperately formed her Aegis shield once more. This time, the beams were far more intense than they were before; the shield remained intact, but the backwash of heat and radiation immediately raised blisters on Wonder Woman's arms.
"Too...much..." she gasped, as she tried to struggle to her feet, but a massive foot planted itself on her belly, forcing her down; Darkseid was now stepping on top of her, the ravenous energy still emanating from his eyes. The top of her costume began to smolder and burn away. Darkseid looked over at Doomsday, who had just crushed Supergirl's knees. "Doomsday...we are done here. Finish her off."
With a bellow, Doomsday lifted his arm, the hardened bone forming over his entire fist now, and slammed it down with immense force into Supergirl's belly. The blow ruptured her abdomen, tearing the skin open and making puree of her intestines, before driving down into her spine and shattering it. The girl coughed up a bubbing rush of blood, her body arcing around Doomsday's arm. The monster raised his fist again, and drove it down onto Supergirl's exposed left breast, crushing her ribcage and causing it to implode around her lungs and heart, the shattered bone piercing the vital organs. Supergirl's body began to shudder and twitch, her voice no more than whimpers now.
Fear filled her eyes as Doomsday raised his fist above her head, but she was helpless; the monster lunged downward, the fist smashing Supergirl's face in, splattering her brains, bits of her skull and teeth on the ground around her shoulders. Supergirl's body spasmed violently, then continued convulsing several times as Doomsday stepped back. Blood spilled out of the ruins of her skull, her eyeballs dislodged and lying sightless around her, the tongue lolling weakly. About half a minute later Supergirl died, her sprawled body falling still, a widening pool of urine forming around the front of her panties as her bladder voided the last of its contents.
"No! Monster!" screamed Wonder Woman, struggling to rise, but the devastating energy beams intensified further. The entire upper half of her leotard had been burnt away now, exposing her upper body as she fought against the omega rays. But her body had taken far too much damage; she was helpless against the onslaught of incinerating energy, and Darkseid's massive strength as he held her down.
"A true waste," said Darkseid, shaking his head, "But a powerful entity as her cannot be allowed to go against me." He looked down at Wonder Woman. "Which includes you."
Although she didn't think it possible, the pressure of Darkseid's foot against her torso increased tenfold, crushing her ruthlessly against the ground. The omega beams arced from the main stream and lanced around him, vaporizing the Amazon women who leapt forward to help their queen. Darkseid's massive boot covered her entire lower body, and still the downward force rose, cracking and breaking her spine further from the damage she had already suffered. Wonder Woman could feel her internal organs begin to rupture, and warm urine soaked the crotch of her leotard and pooled on the ground around her thighs as she began to urinate. She was completely powerless; her arms were locked in position defending against Darkseid's omega beams, and her lower body and legs were held down by Darkseid's terrible strength.
With a grunt that seemed more from disgust than exertion, Darkseid raised his foot in the air, then brought it slamming down onto Wonder Woman's belly and groin. The massive boot ground her intestines and uterus into a paste on the rock floor underneath her. Wonder Woman's body jerked violently, her arms losing their strength instantly and falling to her side. The Aegis shield melted away at the movement, and Darkseid's omega beams struck Wonder Woman full in the chest. The entire front of her torso seared away immediately, the skin, flesh and bone disintegrating from the rays, followed by most of her lungs and heart. Wonder Woman gave a gurgling, weak cough, blood bubbling up from between her lips as Darkseid finally shut off his beam attack and stepped away, turning his back on her. She died after only a few seconds, the weak twitches from her remains ceasing.
"Pity," said Darkseid, as the boom tube formed once more, bathing the sparring ground in its yellow light, and illuminating the dead bodies of the Amazon women littered around the area, as well as the remains of the two heroines. "I am sure the Amazon queen will be resurrected shortly by her Olympian creators. But the Kryptonian...a true pity indeed."
And he and Doomsday stepped into the tube, which closed rapidly behind them with a rushing-wind sound of finality.
