(Metropolis)
Bruce growled as Joker charged him but he quickly dropped to the ground and swept his legs out catching the deranged clown in the knees bringing him down to the ground and tried to follow up with an elbow to his back but Bane quickly regained his feet and they clashed fists flying as Helena, Dick, Selina, Donna, Atom and Arthur faced off against the meteor freaks they had with them. He noted the Bane was just watching events as the fight started and he felt whatever the evil clown planned was bad news for them.
Across town Oliver was currently fighting Toyman whilst Kyle faced off against Sinestro in a impressive flying display their power rings creating many weapons to take down the other but whilst Kyle was trying to make sure nothing happens to any civilians in the area as well Sinestro had no such morals and was creating weapons that caused excess damage to the surrounding area. Around them Raya, Jade, J'onn, Todd, Bart and Zatanna battled the meteor freaks they had brought with them, cops were arriving as the fight waged on but were no match for what was going on.
Kelly Benson stood on a small walkway watching the battle unfold with her cameraman unable to believe what she was seeing once again, the damage been done was far more than before and the fighting between the League as Batman had called them and the villains was far more vicious she noted before beginning her report
"This is Kelly Benson and once more Metropolis is at the mercy of a war been rage between a large group of villains and the League of Hero's who combined to stop them, I am told there is two fights taking place right now the one I am watching the Green Arrow lead and across town Batman leads the second whilst in Smallville it has been reported the beast has returned and is once again apposed by the same hero who fought it before this time with help from his allies" Kelly began taking a deep breath as Green Arrow was sent flying into a wall "All three fights are completely out of control from what I have heard and seen here but local law enforcement are trying to limit the damage and casualties but it is not an easy thing as there is falling debris everywhere and they are targets for the insane followers of the villains" she finished as the and Cameraman decided to get out of the way before they ended up caught in the crossfire
Bruce exchanged blows with Joker making them as hard as he could trying to end the man who could one day be Talia's killer as he had in the future time line, just the memory of what he had learnt of what Joker would one day take from him was enough to drive him into a fury. Bane had finally attacked heading straight for Arthur who met the charge head on just after he took down the meteor freak he had been fighting, he was thrown backwards but quickly regained his balance and struck back knocking the deranged assassin off his feet where he pretended to be out cold only to quickly strike out with his feet when Aquaman turned to help one his allies.
Dick growled as he fought as hard as he could against the meteor freak that could blow things up just by touching them meaning he had to stay out of its reach whilst figuring a way of bringing it down, the insane look on its face sent a chill down his spine. Off to the side he could see Selina was easily using her agility to stay a step ahead of the freak she was fighting and he could see why Bruce had sought her out, Helena was to his other side but was having a bit more trouble with the meteor freak she was fighting. He was suddenly sent flying as the car in front of him exploded and he coughed as he got back to his feet cursing himself for letting his attention wonder.
(Smallville)
Zod stared at the Avatar of the man who had stopped him ruling Krypton and imprisoned him in the zone along with his wife and he felt all the old hatred and anger return, a small part of him was amused at the irony of the fact the he had taken the son of the man who was Jor-El's Avatar as his host but he quickly pushed that aside
"You want to die again Jor-El I will be happy to oblige your wishes" he hissed
"Dying for your loved ones and ones home is never futile Zod something you forgot a long time ago when you became the ultimate enemy of Krypton instead of its greatest defender" Jor-El shot back "You had everything but it was not enough and so you tried to get more and it only ended in destruction not just for you but our people and you still have not learned anything from it because here you are trying to do the same thing again" he continued
"Do not lecture me Jor-El" Zod growled he had always hated listening to the mans views "I am the greatest general in our planets history I deserved to be our peoples leader after all the battles I fought for them but they were two afraid to give me my due so I took it" he pressed
"And all it got you was exile to the phantom zone along with your followers and your own wife Zod; it also sent our race into extinction with very few survivors" Jor-El lied at the end as he did not want Zod to know a small part of their race had survived
"They were weak as are you and your whole family but not for long I will kill each and every one of you" Zod said with a wide smirk "I will then recreate our race in my image and under my rule" he shouted an insane look in his eyes which chilled Jor-El to the bone as he had seen it many times back during the war "Now die Jor-El" Zod commanded as his heat vision activated
Jor-El was ready for the attack and quickly side stepped it before using his super speed to smash into Zod and force him backwards, behind them Doomsday clubbed Clark into the sports shop as Kara hit it from behind with her heat visions whilst Diana picked up a car and tossed it into the side of the monster only causing the car to explode harmlessly off the creature's thick skin.
Clark groaned as he pushed himself back to his feet and shook his head before moving forward as Kara was almost grabbed by Doomsday and Diana was sent flying into a truck, he flew at full speed catching Doomsday as he turned back to him and flung him into the building behind him. He shook his head knowing they had to get Doomsday away from the town before he did anymore damage
"Kara, Diana help me get him outside Smallville" he shouted as he again flew at Doomsday as he got back up and grabbed him around the waist whilst Kara and Diana grabbed his arms and together they flew upwards away from the town
Jor-El wished he still had his living body as Lionel's could only take so much stress even with the necessary upgrades he'd given it, he would not be able to fight Zod for long but he did not need to just keep him away from Kal-El, Kara and Diana whilst they fought Doomsday. He had to keep that in mind because if he allowed his personal feelings towards Zod get in the way he may doom Lionel and this planet to death and he would not allow a second world to fall because of Zod's ambitions.
(Fortress of Solitude)
Talia and her father arrived to find the fortress deserted bar Dax-Ur who was working at his work station on his chip to reprogram Brainiac, Talia frowned
"Where is everyone Dax-Ur?" she inquired
"I'm afraid there was another attack by Zod and his allies two in Metropolis and one is smallville" Dax-Ur answered looking up "However Jor-El and Kal-El both believed this is a test for us but even if it is it may allow us to track them back to their base so we can finally take the fight to them" he explained "My chip to reprogram Brainiac is almost complete so if we can get it into his data port we will have a very powerful new ally and maybe then he can fulfil the reason he was created in the first place" he continued
"I see" Talia said with a shake of her head before cursing
"Is there a problem Talia?" Dax-Ur asked as he took a greater look at the two
"Nyssa has revealed herself along side Deathstroke and Riddler who escaped the last fight" Ra was the one who answered "We hoped for the detectives help in capturing them all whilst we had the chance" he added as he sat down whilst Talia began to pace
"I understand your desire to bring your wayward daughter in Ra but do you believe you can reason with her?" Dax-Ur inquired "And Batman's reaction to her may not be what you wish, I believe he is as compromised by what the future could bring as Kal-El has been" he informed them
"You make a very valid point Dax-Ur, since learning what accrued in the future from Kal-El he has become driven to remove both Joker and Nyssa anyway possible however I had hoped he may have calmed down since then" Ra responded
"We can try and capture her on our own father" Talia suggested turning to face her father
"I do not believe that would be wise Talia, you forget been lured away from Batman was what caused your death in the future Kal-El has foreseen" Dax-Ur pointed out making sure he got his point across to them both as he did not want to be the one to inform Batman he had allowed the woman he loved to walk into what was quite clearly trap "This is a trap for you I believe, Nyssa is hoping you will go after her without back up I believe it would be foolish to give her what she wants especially if it leaves you in the same brainwashed state we can expect Lana Lang to be in" he informed them
Both Ra and Talia looked at each other before conceding the points he had made they could not rush into this and would have to wait until Batman and the others returned, Ra remained where he was deep in thought on how to break through to his daughter Nyssa without causing him too much harm whilst Talia went and lay down.
Dax-Ur watched them for a few seconds before turning and going back to work on his chip for Brainiac, he was so close now to finishing it and maybe putting Brainiac back to his true purpose and undo the damage he had done when Zod had taken control of the A.I.
(Outside Smallville)
Kara lay on the ground groaning as she tried to shake the dizziness she was feeling from been hit so hard by Doomsday, Kal-El had warned her just how dangerous the monster was but she had not truly believed it but now she knew she would have to be much more careful in her attacks otherwise she may just end up dead. She pushed herself to her feet and noted Diana and Kal-El were each attacking Doomsday from the sides as Zod and Jor-El fought behind them, Jor-El had followed them outside the town and Zod had followed intending on destroying him.
She concentrated as she readied herself for the fight before flying at Doomsday who was still distracted fighting Kal-El and Diana and caught it in the face with a roundhouse sending it backwards allowing all three of them to charge it to the ground and begin pounding it with everything they had only to be flung off it a few minutes later however they noted they had managed to make Doomsday bleed.
Clark knew they could not beat Doomsday so they would have to put him back on ice or get him off the planet, like a bolt of lightening he had an idea and whilst it was not full proof it was all he had at the moment to get rid of Doomsday as fast as possible thus eliminating the most dangerous of Zod's allies.
"Kara, Diana we have to take Doomsday into space and launch him into the sun" he whispered so only they could hear him "We have to get him off planet and once in the sun he will be no danger for a long while" he added
"Will the sun be able to trap him though Kal?" Diana asked
"Yes it will the gravity of the Sun will hold even him maybe not forever but long enough to give us time to deal with Zod and the others and be more prepared for his return" Clark answered
"Then we charge him together and lift off as hard as we can, Diana will have to let go once we reach the upper atmosphere as she can't survive in space" Kara agreed as she noted Doomsday preparing to charge them again
"We go now" Clark ordered
All three of them shot off and collided with Doomsday just as he began to charge them, they struggled with the monster as he tried to fight them off but they held on and then pushed off from the ground with all the force they could muster and headed into the sky.
Jor-El sent Zod to the ground with a wicked round house then noted what his son, niece and ally were doing, he wondered why they were going into space before it quickly came to him and he smiled before been caught n the chest by Zod's foot and he quickly turned back to the fight at hand and lashed out at his enemy sending Zod back
"Not bad Jor-El" Zod said with a smirk as he rubbed his jaw "For a weak scientist you always did know how to fight to the last, you led the war against me no matter what the council tried to make people believe and it was you who brought me down just imagine what we could have accomplished together had you not apposed me" he stated
"Nothing but bloodshed Zod, I will never be like me and no matter what it takes I will send you back to the zone" Jor-El growled out feeling ill at the idea of him ever teaming with Zod "And even if you escape there will be a member of my house ready to appose you, this I vow" he added as he took the air joined a second later by Zod
"Then my destruction of the house of El is all the more important isn't it" Zod said smiling as he had known there was no way Jor-El would ever join him but wanted to annoy just by suggesting it "Now Jor-El prepare to die" he suddenly shouted his voice devoid of humour as he flew right at his mortal enemy
(Metropolis)
Bruce struggled against the meteor freak who had suddenly attacked him whilst the Joker watched from a near by building laughing his head off, he reached into his belt and pulled one of his gas pellets out and forced it into the man's mouth and set it off and watched as the freak began coughing violently before collapsing to the ground out cold
"You are no fun bats" Joker said as he walked closer "Where is your sense of fair play?" he inquired
"I don't have one because most of the scum I fight don't have one either and that especially includes you Joker" Bruce growled out as he prepared to continue their fight
Joker laughed wishing he had more time to taunt Batman but he did not, this fight was only a test and nearly all the meteor freaks had been taken down already by the other hero's so he grabbed his the bomb from his belt and chucked it not at Batman but at where his closest allies Nightwing, Huntress and Catwoman were fighting before running away.
Bruce was torn for a few seconds as he watched the man who could still become the murderer of Talia before shaking his head and heading for the bomb, his friends were distracted by their fight with two very strong meteor freaks and would never see the bomb in time. He readied one of batcables and hooked the bomb up with it and sent it flying high into the sky where it exploded. He breathed a sigh of relief before charging into the fight.
Bane and Arthur continued to exchange fists but were equally matched in terms of strength and skill, Bane grew tired of the fight wishing instead he had been allowed to fight Batman but Joker had attacked first and gained that right. He lashed out with a side kick and followed up with a palm strike which sent Aquaman to his knees before turning and leaving knowing the next time they fought it would be to the death and that was something he was looking forward to especially against Batman, Arthur spat out blood from the blow and shook his head before getting back to his feet and going to help Atom and Donna.
Across the city Oliver and his team were round up the last of the meteor freaks as Sinestro was now a captive having been taken down by the combined powers of Kyle and Jade whilst Toyman had managed to escape, it was a small victory but a victory all the same and for Kyle and Jade a personal one as Sinestro had once been a Green Lantern and an ally who had turned on them and the rest of the corps.
They pushed the final three meteor freaks back against a rather large building and then they concentrated their power against them bringing them down one at a time, they were all feeling drained but they decided to head to the second battle to help Batman and his team whilst Kyle and Jade took Sinestro back to the fortress so they could begin their plan of sending the worst villains into the phantom zone.
Oliver looked around and noted the destruction that had been caused to the city and sighed knowing the people and the government were not going to be happy about this but they would have done no better against the villains and more violence and destruction would have been the result if they tried to fight without them. They watched as the last of the meteor freaks was destroyed by Donna and Raya
"Is this the last of them?" Bart asked
"Yeah, we better go and help Kal-El and the others" Bruce answered ignoring his strained muscles
(Space)
Kal-El and Kara held onto Doomsday as hard as they could as he continued to struggle against them in their flight to the sun, they were close to the sun now and were feeling stronger and stronger as they did until finally they reached a good point and launched the monster as hard as they could and watched in satisfaction as Doomsday hurtled into the sun before turning and heading back to earth
(Outside Smallville)
Jor-El was beginning to feel tired and he knew his avatar could not handle much more damage and so prepared to leave; Zod was just preparing to attack again when the rest of the league minus Kyle and jade arrived along with Diana and finally Kal-El and Kara
"Interesting this group of hero's who have collected Kal-El but it will do you no good in the end" Zod said after a few seconds pause "You may have beaten back my troops but in the end you and every who follows you will fall at my feet and this planet will become the new Krypton" he stated with a wide smile before leaving
"How did we do?" Clark inquired as he looked around noting the missing members of there team "Are Kyle and Jade alright?" he asked
"They are okay they took Sinestro prisoner and returned to the fortress ready for him to be banished to the zone" Donna replied with a small smile
"Then lets get to it" Oliver said "Plus we all need some rest before we hopefully attack their main base" he added
The group looked around before activating their beacons and vanished from the area hoping that they would soon end this war and ensure the future Kal-El had seen in his future memories would never come to pass
