Story Title: The Traveler

Chapter 17

Outskirts of National City

Maggie and two dozen members of her team stood in a circle around the smoking remains of the alien ship.

The sound of wind whipping around the group drew the attention of the agents, just before Superman and two members of the Justice League landed. Alex smiled at Clark before turning to look at the two other members of the League. The first person wore a green and black uniform; he had a green mask that covered his nose and eyes. A green glow surrounded him and his eyes glowed. Alex knew right away that he was a Green Lantern, most likely Hal Jordan.

A woman stood closer to Superman, she wore a red, white, and blue uniform that was covered in armor. She was tall, nearly as tall as Superman was. She had long black hair and blue eyes. She wore a golden crown on her head with a red star in the middle. She held a sword in her right hand and a shield was on her left arm. Alex's smile widened, it was Wonder Woman; she had always wanted to meet her.

"Hey, Alex, what do we know?" Clark asked.

"Not a lot, whatever is onboard killed two space explorers."

Clark turned and looked at the Green Lantern. "Hal, any knowledge of this ship design?"

Hal shook his head. He raised his hand, his ring sending out a green light that covered the vessel.

"Scanning," the ring said. "Database does not include any information on this ship; however, based on marks on the vessel's hull it appears that this vessel has traveled thousands of light years."

"Superman, you heard the ring, no idea where it is from, but it clearly traveled a great distance. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say it's not from this Galaxy."

"That's encouraging, "Alex said sarcastically.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the ship. Every gun was aimed at the vessel. "Hold your fire," Alex yelled.

The sound of something hitting metal from inside the ship drew the attention of everyone near the vessel. Dents began to appear on the hull as whatever was inside hit the inside of the ship's hull repeatedly. The dents grew bigger and the hull of the ship began to creak and groan. The hull gave way the metal of the ship ripped and fractured before it burst open. At first, everyone stepped back, until everyone saw it. A being, a creature, over eight feet tall, with gray skin covered in a white, bony exoskeleton. It had red eyes that glowed with power.

"The creature roared, "Doomsday!"

Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern stepped between the DEO agents and the creature.

Superman stepped forward, his hands raised with his palms facing the creature, trying to show that he was not going to threaten the entity. The creature or Doomsday if the sound the creature said could be considered its name. "We mean you no harm."

The creature stepped forward its red eyes locked on the Man of Steel. The creature began to laugh, it sounded like an avalanche, guttural and natural, like falling rock. "Doomsday," the creature said once again before it charged forward at a speed unheard of for a being its size. Superman raised his arm; the creature hitting him head on sending him flying backward into one of the DEO vehicles, smashing the vehicle into junk upon impact.

Green Lantern raised a shield just as the creature moved to hit Wonder Woman; the strike sending visual shockwaves through the light construct made by the power ring. "Diana, get the agents out of here," he yelled.

Wonder Woman rushed to Alex. "Get everyone out, now!" She turned around and ran back to the Lantern, striking Doomsday head on with her shield. The creature flew back hitting the spaceship, destroying it.

Superman ran back to his teammates. Wonder Woman and Green Lantern stood near the debris of the destroyed ship. Superman reached them, looking them both over to make sure they were okay.

The debris of the ship shifted just before it exploded outward. Doomsday struck Superman with a powerful right hook that sent the Man of Steel flying across the debris field of the destroyed ship and backhanded Green Lantern, knocking him off his feet and sending him into a nearby barn.

Coast City Amusement Park

Kara and Mike had finished their third roller coaster ride. Kara's smile made Mike so happy; he could tell that she was having so much fun. The two walked along the main walk in the center of the park, passing games and food vendors.

"I think someone is having a lot of fun," Mike said.

Kara blushed slightly, but her smile was still bright. "I love amusement parks."

Mike leaned forward and kissed her on the side of the head. "I can tell."

Kara blushed at the kiss. "I think you're having just as much fun."

"I am, maybe more than you since I love it when you smile."

Kara stopped walking. He said the L word. "Thank you for bringing me."

"It was my pleasure, Kara."

They stopped walking in front of a concession stand. "You hungry?"

Mike nodded. Just as he was about to order the small television on the back wall of the stand went to an important news report. Kara and Mike looked on as the news from National City showed the early stages of the fight with Doomsday.

Kara pulled Mike away. "We need to go." Mike nodded before the two sped away so Mike could change into his uniform. Valor flew back to National City at full speed, stopping at Kara's apartment for her suit. The two sped off, going to the outskirts of National City, ready to help Superman and the others.

Outskirts of National City

Alex Danvers stood on a hill about three miles away from the fight. Three dozen DEO agent surrounded Alex; the entire area was cordoned off from the public. Alex looked down upon the battlefield. Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern were holding their own; however, she could see that all of them were tiring. Green Lantern had used his ring to create a sling for his left arm, which was broken in the fight. Clark and Diana were fighting hard, but she could see their fatigue in the way they moved. Clark had a black eye and several lacerations in his suit; red blood was visible. Wonder Woman had several bruises across her arms, a split lip and a gash across her cheek.

Suddenly, two sonic booms echoed overhead just before Valor and Supergirl landed on either side of Green Lantern. Hal was on the ground; he looked up through half-lidded eyes before he fell unconscious.

Clark charged again, hitting Doomsday head on, punching the monster in the face, but this time the monster barely reacted. It turned, extending a large bony spike on its hand before piercing Superman in the stomach. Superman fell to his knees before Wonder Woman grabbed him, flying away.

Doomsday turned to follow, but he was struck by a powerful blast of heat vision from Supergirl. The monster walked toward Supergirl, pushing forward against the blast of heat vision. Kara was struggling, doing her best to push forward without using up all of her power. Just before Doomsday reached her, the creature was struck by a red blur. Valor hit the monster with both fists, flying straight at the creature, crashing into the monster and knocking it across the battlefield.

Kara fell to her knees; the intensity of the heat vision that she used nearly burnt out her powers. Valor knelt beside her. "Kara, you okay?" he asked in a concerned voice.

Kara looked up, her blue eyes dull from exhaustion. "So, tired… can't stand."

Valor heard the roar of the monster. He gave Kara a sad smile. He had one idea on how to end this fight without anyone else getting hurt, but it would be tough and most likely more dangerous than anything he'd done before. "I love you," he said. Kara's eyes widened. She didn't get a chance to respond before Valor flew off.

Doomsday stood on shaky legs. Broken bones from his exoskeleton lay on the ground. He roared in rage before the anger fueled his power. He ran off toward Valor, just as the hero flew off toward him. Valor dodged a fist from the monster before he kneed the creature in the face. Doomsday stumbled back. Mon-El took the opportunity to get behind the monster and grabbed it just below its massive arms. Valor bent his knees before leaping into the air, flying straight up into the sky.

Kara just stared up into the sky, the image of Valor and the monster disappearing quickly, even from her enhanced vision. She tried to stand up but she couldn't. Kara turned her head and looked up onto the hilltop over three miles away; she knew that Alex was there. She began to yell as loud as she could, considering how tired she was.

Alex was at the top of the hill, looking through her binoculars. She witnessed Valor fly off into the sky with Doomsday. She looked down to the battlefield once again, spotting Kara sitting on her knees. Her sister turned her head and screamed; the sound echoed up from the battlefield. Alex looked around, finding a black SUV close by; she ran to the vehicle, jumping in the driver seat and turning on the ignition, gunning the engine and racing down to the battlefield. She stopped a few feet from her sister. She jumped out of the vehicle and ran to Kara.

"Are you hurt?"

Kara looked up at her sister, her blue eyes filled with tears. "Mon-El is going to get himself killed. You have to do something Alex. I can't lose him."

Alex looked around frantically until she spotted Hal Jordan; he was sitting up and rubbing the back of his head. She raced toward the Green Lantern; he looked up as she stopped in front of him.

"Alex, right?"

Alex pointed up in the sky. "You need to get up there and help Valor."

The Green Lantern looked up at where she pointed. "Space?"

"Yes, I think he's going to fly the monster into the sun."

Hal Jordan's eyes widened. He stood up carefully, lifting his ring over his head. A green glow covered his body before he flew off into the sky, hoping that he could find Valor and catch up to him.

Earth Orbit

Valor held on tight, flying into low Earth orbit. Doomsday struggled against the iron grip of the hybrid hero. Valor flew on, out of Earth's orbit and toward the sun. He moved as fast as he could considering the strength he had to exert to keep the monster from breaking free. He moved faster and faster, flying passed Venus on his way toward the sun. The good news, his powers grew stronger the closer he came to the sun. The ring on his finger allowed him to breathe in space; Doomsday had no such need, the creature seemed perfectly fine in space. Valor flew on, his speed increasing as he allowed the gravity of the sun to pull on him.

Doomsday struggled against his grip; the monster could feel the pull of the sun. He instinctively knew that his body could not hold up against the power of a star, if he were thrust into the star, he would cease to be. Therefore, the creature thrashed about, doing his best to break away from the hero's grip. The monster saw the small rocky planet known as Mercury passed by. He struggled again his only thought was freedom. He extended sharp, bony protrusions from his elbows before slamming them into the sides of the hero. The bones snapped off as they struck the hero's tough hide. There was no sound in space, but if there were Doomsday's cry of pain would have echoed throughout the solar system.

Valor's breathing became labored; the last strike from the monsters breaking several of his ribs on both sides of his body. The pain was excruciating, but Mon-El had faced worse. On Daxam, he was beaten every day by his stepmothers. He knew the pain all too well. He approached the sun. He had to make sure that the creature died in the core of the star. He flew into the corona; heat greater than anything he ever faced scorched his skin, even his indestructible suit began to take damage. He reached as far as he could go before he forcefully threw the monster toward the core; the gravity of the star doing the rest. He looked as Doomsday's body began to break apart and burn away under the heat and gravity of the star until the creature was no more.

Valor flew toward the corona of the star, bursting free and away from the sun. His suit was severely damaged, but that wasn't the most important part; the Legion ring was damaged. As he flew passed Mercury, the ring broke apart. He gasped for breath, but no air was available in the vacuum of space. His vision began to blur and darkness began to close in around him. His last sight was a small amount of green light, growing brighter in the distance.
