Chapter 12: Clark falls
Washington, DC, LuthorLabs, a LuthorCorp subsidiary: Darkseid stared at his new headquarters. He had prepared the lab techs by extending some of his "Darkness" to take some of these labs off of Lachlan Luthor's plan to prepare to join the war effort. Lachlan had recently incorporated LuthorCorp as a company to compete with weapons maker and college roommate Howard Stark and young millionaire upstart Wilton Knight. Darkseid had begun to infuse the WWII effort with his all-consuming darkness powers and had successfully corrupted Kal-El with the young man's own pride. He sensed the young Kryptonian coming toward him. His son Kalibak was back in the 28 known Galaxies trying to put down rebellions that had learned of Kal-El's corruption.
"DeSaad, has Kal-El arrived yet?" The deep booming voice of Darkseid asked then he heard a distant boom. Kal-El had arrived. He extended his senses and detected The Last Son of Krypton going through his hardened Nazi troops like they were nothing. He smiled as he sensed the complicated Kryptonian thinking of the Superman coming to him ever closer. He sensed each Nazi soldier as the Last Son of Krypton put each one down as if he or she were nothing. He sensed the Kryptonian right outside his private chambers…
The Chamber doors blew open as Superman walked in wearing his familiar Costume.
"Welcome, Kal-El of Krypton. I've heard you are powerful, but I never knew how powerful. I am Darkseid, Ruler of Apokolips, a planet that has-"Darkseid said but he was cut off by the man of steel.
"I know who you are, Darkseid, and I've come to stop you," Kal-El said.
"You? Many creatures have tried to stop me and have failed, Kal-El. You are powerful indeed, but there is one thing that you do not know. If you try to stop me I will destroy Earth and along with you and the humans you cherish, Kryptonian. But if you join me, and become my enforcer so that no crime will occur on Earth and no one will stop you. You will rule Earth with an iron fist in my name. No one can defeat you. Which do you want? A battle in which Earth is destroyed, everyone you love and care for destroyed or an Earth where peace reigns in the name of Darkseid," Darkseid said.
"I want what's right," Kal-El said. Darkseid smiled. "Then kneel before me," He said. Kal-El fell to one knee and tears began trickle on his face as he knew he lost.
Metropolis, Earth—Jor-El stared in shock as he felt it in his bones. The fabled Last Son of Krypton had given in to his own pride and anger and fell…but there was another Last Son of Krypton coming back to him…
