In The Near Future

It was a beautiful day in Gotham. The sun has made a rare appearance, shining its rays down on the beautiful gothic structures of the city. In the Wayne Corp Building Bruce Wayne was in his office spending time with his eleven-year old son, Damian.

"Wayne Technologies is our number one asset. It is the field that we pride ourselves on. The business assures that the field is functional to keep creating and providing new materials for society to become more convenient."

"What makes the certain field area functional?" Damian questions his father. He is paying very close attention and does not shy away from asking questions. He will take advantage of this valuable time his father spared to teach Damian about the company.

Bruce Wayne answers Damian's question and continues to explain about the Wayne Corporation. He knows his son is paying close attention and taking notes, which Bruce finds responsible for his son; yet he found this time to be valuable for him to spend, as Alfred stated, 'needed son and father time.'

"Oh My Gosh! Let me see the cute little girl! I guess this means you two will not be in an on and off relationship anymore." Mia states to Dinah as she is holding the newest member of the family, the little baby girl, Olivia.

Dinah invited everyone from the Arrow family to have lunch with them, it is meant to be a friendly family gathering.

Roy arrives with his daughter, Lian. Roy greets Dinah. Roy then asks for the whereabouts of Sin. Sin comes out to the patio bringing drinks over. Roy greets her and Dinah takes the drinks from her and sets it up on the table. Sin goes off to play with Lian.

"Do you believe Ollie will come in time for lunch?" Roy sarcastically comments having a slight smirk on his face knowing the answer, because he knows Oliver.

"Ha!" Dinah laughs and replies to Roy's comment. "Ollie verily made it for the birth of his own daughter. If he starts making it a habit and coming an hour late, I will confuse him with Barry."

Roy chuckles at Dinah's reply. "True. He didn't even make it to my high school graduation."

Both continue to laugh and comment bad habits of Oliver. However, Dinah notices there's another member of the family missing, besides Oliver.

"Mia, will Connor be joining us?" Dinah asks Mia. Mia stops baby talking with Olivia. Mia pouts and responds.

"Unfortunately he is busy with the Teen Titans, and won't make it to lunch. I tried to guilt him into coming, but he is too responsible and boring. He sends his deepest apologies."

Mia continues to play with baby Olivia, raising giggles from the little blonde hair, blue eye baby.

"Well, he is missing out. Let's start, maybe Ollie will come in time for leftovers." Dinah grabs Olivia and goes to sit down and enjoy lunch with the whole Arrow family.

"Finally, we are back!" Green Arrow, Oliver, shouts as he jumps off the teleporting grid with Flash, Barry, right behind him. "Barry, if I continue to hang out with you I will be late to everything by an hour!"

"Hey! It is not my fault." Barry responds to Oliver's accusations.

"Ladies, don't fight, you both came on time for me to look at your beautiful faces!" Green Lantern, Hal, comments as he flies over to them.

"Shut up, Hal." Oliver replies a little annoyed from Hal's comment.

"Oh, beautiful! Don't break my heart!" Hal replies holding his chest. Oliver punches Hal's shoulder, then both of them high five each other. Barry joins them and they converse for a little while, until Oliver remembers he is running late for the family gathering.

"Damn, I need to run, however I will see both of you later. Bye Barry. Don't get killed Hal!" Oliver runs off to a transporter to take him to Star City.

"Don't get killed by Dinah!" Hal shouts to Oliver before he teleports away. Hal turns to Barry and continues to converse.

"I have to go see the Guardians, the old blue bastards seem to be freaking out about something and calling all the Green Lantern's."

"Woah, sounds serious. Do you all want the JL's help?" Barry asks Hal. Hal shakes his head in disagreement.

"The guardians made it very clear, they didn't want the JL involved." Hal replies.

"Maybe, if I was a Green Lantern I can come, sounds cool!" Barry is a little excited wishing to join Hal on the mission. Hal laughs and pats Barry on the back.

"Ha! I have to go. But if you ask me you would be better as a Blue Lantern. Superman is not the only one who brings hope to his city, so go back to Central city. Wally and you are both heroes and Flashs' for your own the cities. The universe will be fine under my care, the greatest Green Lantern, ever."

Hal responds, he then waves to Barry and goes off to be transported outside of the Justice League satellite. He flies off to Oa. John and Guy see him and join him to head to Oa.

While, Barry stays in the Justice League satellite goes to converse with Hawkwoman and Hawkman who just returned from a mission, still thinking of the nice words Hal said and the words he should've return to Hal.

Hal, thanks. You are the person who has the greatest amount of will. The hero who will not fall.

In Keystone City, Wally rushes to get home to his family, however he develop the bad habit of his mentor; being late.

As he is running he notices that a petty thug is trying to rob from a convenience store even though he is running late, he still needs to represent the Flash in his city. So in a scarlet blur, he takes the thug away from the convenience store and into a police station, writing a short note allowing the police to know the situation and his suspicions of the man being in a poor situation and needing help. He goes on to describe his trust in the police force and justice system to execute punishment, but understand the thug's reasons. As he runs from the police station to his home, he hopes the thug is in good hands of the Lady of Justice. It is in Wally's personality to not only protect the civilians, but help and understand his villains.

Wally returns to his normal route of trying to reach home, before he misses too much of family time. Finally, Wally reaches home and quickly changes from his scarlet outfit and joins his family in the living room.

"Oof. How much did I miss, sweety?" He asks to his lovely wife, Linda, as he pecks her and puts his arm around her.

"Nothing from this movie, but you did miss the first movie." Linda smiles towards him and replies.

"I miss that much!" Wally shock that he is late enough to miss a whole movie with his family.

"Don't worry Dad, we are used to it." Jai responds as he is casually playing with his games. "We still have two movies to go through."

"Yeah. It is not as bad, as when you miss the whoooole family movie day!" Irey joins in the conversation exaggerating her words and talking to Wally in a sarcastic tone.

Wally is speechless and lays his head in Linda's bosom feeling shame of his bad habit he developed from his mentor. He can't believe it has come down to be an expected thing for him to do and his children to lecture him about it. Linda comforts Wally as she lectures her children to not be sarcastic with their father. Also for Jai to watch the movies and not play games in his 3DS. The happy Flash family continue to enjoy their movie day.

Bart Allen is rushing to get to the Titans Tower because he received a call from Raven describing she feels an unbalance in the universe. However it seems all the speedsters are running late, today.

"I am here!" He shouts to alerting every one of his presence, but nobody turns around. They continue to hear Raven's explanation. Bart goes on to bother everyone there for information or attention; Kon, Cassie, Connor, Tim, Stephanie, Jamie, and Kara. Ultimately Garfield and Kiran, give him attention and ask for Raven to repeat her explanation for Bart. Raven lets out an annoyed groan and slightly glares at Bart as he hides behind Raven's boyfriend, Garfield.

"If you came on time, you will not be confused." She states, before starting her explanation, once again. "I meditated and my powers sync with the universe's flow, but the universe's flow is like a storm on the open ocean, there's dramatic waves going all around. I don't know what is causing it, but it has potential to harm our existence. Get it?" She asks Bart, who simply shakes his head and when she turns around, does mocking gestures behind her back. She continues with her explanation.

"Beast boy and I will go warn the Justice League Tower. Stephanie will explain to Batman, while Tim investigates potential causes on his own computer. Cassie will go warn Wonder Woman. Kara and Kon will go get Superman. Jamie will help Tim. Connor will go around the cities to observe any obvious signs of damage to our universal flow. At last that leaves you, to warn the Flash because he tends to have an expertise in sudden changes." She declares the command while pointing at Bart, who suddenly stops his gestures.

"Umm, excuse me Lady Raven," Bart sarcastically voices, "but there is two Flashs'. Which one do you want me to warn?"

She grows more annoyed with Bart and decides to use her magic to cause a small blast in front of Bart, making Bart feel someone flick him really hard on the forehead. Bart is thrown back a little, and rubs his head in surprise. Raven smirks and goes on to reply to the question.

"Either one will do. They are both very observant of changes." Raven walks over to Bart and grabs Garfield by the hand. Garfield leans to Bart and whispers in Bart's ear.

"Don't be too mad with Raven. She becomes angry, easily. Despite that, once you get to her good side, which takes a lot, I would know, she is very sweet. When we were first dating, she did the cutest-Ow!" Raven is holding Garfield's hand tighter and has darkness illuminating around her. Then she manipulates the darkness around them and both of them disappear.

"Cute, Huh? I doubt it." Bart claims. "If there's any cute couple, it would be our lovable Cassie and Kon!" Bart appears between both of them as he pushes both of them closer together. Both are embarrassed, but that does not stop them from embracing and sharing a small kiss.

"How about us?!" Stephanie asks prowling Tim's arm off the computer and dragging him closer to Bart.

"You are the most dysfunctional." Bart declares without hesitation.

"No!" Stephanie declines and Tim agrees with her, a little insulted about their relationship.

Bart turns around, putting his arms behind his head and not changing his mind of his early declaration.

"Nobody beats your on-off relationship, besides maybe Connor and Mia. Besides, Connor where is Mia?" Bart asks towards Connor, changing the subject.

"Well she is not part of the Teen Titans and has no reason to be here." Connor assures as he is getting ready to scout throughout the cities. Bart bored with his answer decides to go back to teasing Stephanie.

"Anyhow," Kara speaks up "we should all go to our missions. Come on, Lover Boy." Kara grabs the back of Kon's shirt and drags him off, while waving goodbye to Cassie.

"After this, we can resume our date." Kon shouts back to Cassie. Cassie giggles and shouts back to him.

"It's fine. We go on dates every day, it is fine to miss one."

"No, I want to spend every day with you." Kon shouts back, before he flies off with Kara. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Cassie shouts to him in sky watching him disappear. Cassie goes off to Themyscira to warn Diana and Donna who are both training in their swordsmanship skills.

Bart makes hacking noises and showing his disgust of the romantic situation between Kon and Cassie, while Kiran is next to him showing her clear pleasure and admiration of the same situation.

"Bart, you should try to understand the love between two couples!" Kiran claims. "It is the most beautiful and shared feeling in the world."

"Yeah-No." Bart rejects her claim. "Well, I am going off to my grandfather and tell him about the weird things going on, catch you later."

Bart goes running off and notices there is a peaceful and loving atmosphere, today. It is a perfect time to spend with friends and family.

"I have help you find all the apocalyptic gems." A sickening voice claims and chuckles follow. "Now, will you help me complete the Heart of Darkness?"

"Not yet." Another firm voice declares. "I must first achieve the Anti-life Equation from the destruction of Earth, which is the sight of creation. I must destroy creation to achieve the Anti-life Equation, once the act is done the Heart of Darkness is yours, Eclipso."

"Thank you for your gracious help, Darkseid." Eclipso gives gratitude. Eclipso continues to chuckle away and pondering over his own plan.

Once Darkseid has the Anti-life equation in his hands, he will assist me to find all the shards of the Heart of Darkness. Then I will control Darkseid and I will be able to get revenge on my Father and his creation. That reminds me, I need get my other allies. I must raise Hell on Earth. Hahaha!

Eclipso pardons himself from Darkseid and disappears. Darkseid not too curious about Eclipso's plans, proceeds to assemble his army of doomsdays, elite generals, and female furies to attack Earth. Darkseid plugs in the coordinates of Metropolis.

~0~

Eclipso goes to a forest cursed by satanic rituals and calls on Lady Blaze and Lord Satanus. They both appear from black flames and smell of blood surrounding them.

"I have gotten Darkseid to come and destroy Earth." Eclipso tells them. "He will be able to get Earth in a weaken state with his army, then you will be able to conquer it. At that instance, no one in Hell will oppose your rule. You will rule Hell and Earth!"

A thorn whip quickly wraps around Eclipso's neck, strangling him and causing the thorns to clench inside his skin causing him to bleed. Still, Eclipso dares to let out chuckles. Lady Blaze growls at him in annoyance.

"Don't converse our plans so openly." She demands. "We wanted a simple yes or no and then we would disappear. You could endanger us, never knowing what Hell minions might hear."

"Enough, sister." Lord Satanus orders, just as he pulls the whip to release Eclipso. Eclipso coughs and continues with his wicked laughter.

"We will not achieve respect from this Fallen Angel." Lord Satanus continues to speak and pulls out a black diamond shard. "However without all his Dark Shards, he is only as strong as regular demons."

Eclipso removes plastered smile and starts emitting dark aura.

"Don't insult me." Eclipso claims. "I can defeat strong demons with one shard of darkness. Hell is pathetic."

Lady Blaze and Lord Satanus growl towards Eclipso and Eclipso does the same.

"We will keep the deal." Eclipso continues. "I will help you have Earth. You will give me the Dark Shards that reside in Hell. " Eclipso goes back to smiling and chuckling, before he disappears.

Lady Blaze and Lord Satanus stand in the same place.

"We will help doom Earth, as well, brother?" Lady Blaze questions her brother.

"Of course." Lord Satanus states. "If we don't, how can we claim the fall of man?"

"Excellent." Lady Blaze speaks in glee. "Let's start with our father's creations."

"Booster Gold!" Skeets shouts trying to get Booster Gold's attention.

"Not now, Skeets." Michael trying to wave off Skeets. "Can't you see I am signing autographs?"

"Goldstar!" Skeets shouts towards her trying to see if he can get her attention, since she is more responsible.

"Not now, Skeets." Michelle waves off Skeet because she is busy admiring her brother's heroism that resulted in his recognition. Also Michelle is signing autographs, but is admiring her brother more. However Skeets cannot avoid telling them of the horrible images he witnesses in the future. He goes right in front of them.

"Please Booster Gold and Goldstar, the future is not right." Skeet's sadden concern does reach Michael's and Michelle's ears of the urgency of the grave news. They excuse themselves from the few fans and go somewhere private to hear more details of Skeet's visions of the future.

"So, tell us what is really going on Skeets." Michael orders.

"Oh dear. Oh dear." Skeets starts panicking in his explanation which brings more concern to Michael and Michelle. "I simply wanted to check the future to see if anything has changed...but...but…"

"Calm down, Skeets." Michelle tries to ease Skeets.

"But everything changed!" Skeets shouts in full panic. "I retracted through the events that cause this horrid future. It starts today! Superman will-"

In Metropolis, Kara and Kon join Clark's family in their little panic. Chris rushes to hug both of them. Kon and Kara play with Chris for a moment, before telling Clark of the concerning information they receive from Raven. Clark converses with both of them while Lois plays with her son.

Suddenly, a terrifying roar comes from the center of Metropolis. Clark, Kara, and Kon take immediate action. Clark hugs Lois and Chris.

"Both of you stay safe." Clark states to both them, however he looks at his son who still has fear in his eyes. "Pops has to go be a hero and save the day. Then, I will come back and give you a super-hug."

Clark claims with a bright smile on his face while petting his boy, which brings Chris a slight smile on his face.

"You better keep that promise." Lois demands. Clark smiles, approaches Lois and gives her a long hug and kiss.

"I love you." Clark whispers to Lois still holding her. "I will always come back to you."

"I love you, too." Lois sweetly whispers back to Clark. "I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

Another roar rips through the air of Metropolis. Kon changes into Superboy, Kara changes into Supergirl, and Clark changes into Superman. Superboy grabs Lois and Chris to take them to a safe shelter, while Superman and Supergirl will go address the enemy waiting for them. Lois watches as she is getting farther away from that large red cape that wraps around the broad shoulders of the man she deeply loves. The red cape that will wrap around her and protect her from everything. Her violet eyes start to swell with tears, she wipes them away and questions the sudden feeling she is having. Why does she feel she will have to wait for a long time to see him come back?

Superman and Supergirl arrive to witness Doomsday wrecking downtown Metropolis. Supergirl starts saving people from the destructive debris, while Superman punches Doomsday to the ground causing a small crater. Supergirl continues to escort people far from the scene. Superman continues to punch Doomsday down. Doomsday finds an opening and punches Superman, sending him flying into the air. Doomsday rises and lets out a horrid roar, shaking the buildings. Superman flies down and grabs Doomsday, he tries to get Doomsday far from Metropolis. In an instant, Superman feels an axe come down on his back and he crashes down into the streets of Metropolis with Doomsday. Superman stands up and removes the axe that has been dug into his back. He lets out a grunt of pain and feels the blood rush down his back. However he withstands the pain and sees in front of him the man who attacked him with the axe, Steppenwolf.

"What are you doing here?" Superman questions. Steppenwolf lets out a sinister laugh.

"Answer me!" Superman demands, though without warning two electric whips wrap around him and with maximum power electrocute him. Superman turns around and behold the Female Furies with Granny Goodness are behind him. He struggles away from the whips which Lashina wrapped around him, once he does Bernadeth tries to stab Superman. Superman uses his freeze breath to freeze her and the heat of her knife. Still she manages to get a cut on Superman, which Superman quickly freezes the side of his arm before it starts burning the inside of him. Superman is about to punch Bernadeth, quickly Doomsday arises and pushes Superman through three buildings. All of his enemies laugh at him believing they have gotten an advantage over the man of steel.

Superman laser beams Doomsday away from him, he knows that Darkseid is behind this. They are all about to attack him, then Supergirl punches Granny Goodness away from her cousin and goes on to laser beam the rest of the Female Furies. Superboy arrives as well and uppercuts Steppenwolf sending him flying to the air.

"We have escorted everyone to a safe place from Metropolis, coz." Supergirl affirms with a smirk across her face and helps her cousin up.

"Sorry we took so long, but we are here now to help. Superman." Superboy states looking back at Superman. Supergirl and Superboy go to fight the Female Furies, while Superman can handle Steppenwolf and Doomsday.

It is a destructive battle all over Metropolis and the battle does start getting closer to the shelter of the people. Krypto join the battle to help Superman against Doomsday. Both sides have become tired from the continuous fight, however the Superfamily has grown fatigued. Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, and Krypto can't imagine this battle going any longer. Superman continues his brawl with Steppenwolf in the air. Superman is able to gain the upper hand and punches Steppenwolf to the ground from 25,000 feet in the sky, breaking the sound barrier. Superman takes the time to analyze the situation using his super speed to think of variety of different plans. He thinks of one and calls for Supergirl, Superboy, and Krypto.

All of them gather 2,000 feet above their enemies, exchanging glares. Superman explains his plan and on Superman's command they create a wide and powerful laser with the beams from their eyes. They burn all of the Female Furies, Steppenwolf, and Doomsday weakening them severe burns and paralyzing them with pain, but not killing them. They switch to their freeze breath using their maximum power causing their enemies to be frozen in layers of ice. Their enemies are frozen long enough for them to likely carry them away from the nearby shelter where all the citizens reside.

Supergirl, Superboy, and Krypto grab some of the female furies and start dragging them off, before the ice breaks. Superman is about to grab Doomsday, suddenly he feels a force go through his chest. He looks down and in the middle of his symbol of hope is a stone hand covered with blood. Bloody fingers wrap around a black gem that is halfway through his chest. The hand pulls out leaving the gem inside Superman. Superman turns around, placing his hand on the gaping hole on his chest, his vision is blackening, but he notices the figure looming over him, Darkseid. Darkseid smirks, he lifts Superman by the throat to his eye level and he pulls him close.

"I have destroyed you, Superman." Darkseid declares. Darkseid rips the cape off Superman and lets him fall. Superman looks at the sun which starts dimming...fading…into darkness.

Supergirl, Superboy, and Krypto drop the frozen enemies they were carrying, they were in shock at the scene of Superman falling. Superman's corpse crashes to the pavement. Minutes pass of dead silence, this alerts the citizens in the shelter to come out hoping the battle has been won by the Superfamily. The crowd witness the Superfamily standing still and the enemies frozen on the ground, for a moment the crowd believes the heroes have won and cheers come out of the crowd. Lois pushes her way to the front of the crowd holding Chris by the hand, however she can't cheer she still feels her tears swell in her eyes. Lois notices Superman on the ground, motionless and she approaches closer to his body. She sees his lifeless body, no breath, and no light in his eyes. She lets go of Chris, kneels down next to Superman's corpse, and caress his cheek.

"Clark." Lois calls desperately for her husband. She wraps her hand around his hand and no warmth comes...no comfort. Blood runs down his mouth, instead of a bright smile that would shine her day. A hideous black gem is sticking through his chest, it seems to have corrupted his veins to become black with his blood being the same color. The ground is slowly becoming black around him. However she does not care for the surroundings her world has become blacken as she continues to caress his face softly with tears running down her own.

"Dad?" Chris ask confuse to witness his father on the ground. He continues to ask desperately and tries to get a response from his mother, who almost equally seems lifeless. Chris starts panicking, he shakes his father wanting to get any response. Chris begins to cry knowing his father will not smile with him, fly with him, play with him, or be with him...ever again.

"DAD!" Chris cries out in despair. Chris scream breaks through the frozen state of Supergirl, Superboy, and Krypto were in.

"DARKSIDE!" Supergirl and Superboy yell fill with rage, the three of them fly towards Darkseid in top speed. Supergirl and Superboy are about to deliver a punch to Darkseid, but he opens up a portal and all four of them disappear.

The citizens are stun in confusion, not knowing what happens next, their man of tomorrow has fallen, and the other Superfamily members have gone missing. Suddenly, Steppenwolf breaks through the ice and appears before the crowd. He dust himself off and presents a villainous smile.

"You foolish humans, you put all your hope in the wrong man." Steppenwolf claims as he goes on to break his other comrades out of the ice.

"Superman, as you all will foolishly name him, has lost to our great Lord Darkseid." He continues to speak, finally realizing Doomsday who lets out a powerful roar. "Now, all of you will suffer the same pitiful death."

Portals open behind Steppenwolf and Doomsday's clones begin emerge from the portals.

"A warning to all hero cities!" Steppenwolf points towards a foolish citizen who decided to be broadcasting this event. "You will fall with your heroes!"

Steppenwolf lets out a diabolical laugh at the same time the Doomsday clones run in full speed towards other hero cities; Los Angeles, New York City, Star City, Gotham City, Ivy Town, Central City, Coast City, Keystone city, Jump City, and many others.

The crowd starts to panic and begin to run in different directions. Steppenwolf calms down his laughter and goes on to address the panic crowd.

"Don't worry. You will not die by Doomsday clones." The crowd begins to relax for a moment.

"You will die by the darkness that killed your hero." He declares pointing at the black gem, still emerged in Superman's chest, creates a black liquid which is begins to spread and surround the area.

"Pardon us, but we don't waste our time in pre-destined dead corpses." Steppenwolf assert while walking alongside Granny Goodness and her Female Furies.

"We must go destroy the two who stood along with Superman." All of them disappear into the portals.

The crowd grows in hysteria as they witness the black liquid spread. However, Lois and Chris continue to cry over Superman's corpse as if they heard nothing. Unexpectedly, Booster Gold flies in and grabs Lois and Chris away from Superman's body. Goldstar tries to calm down the crowd and tell them to follow her to safety. Goldstar grabs some of the children and begins to fly behind her brother escorting the people somewhere safe.

"Let me go!" Chris yells hitting Booster Gold with his super strength, which Booster Gold takes the damage, but won't release Chris.

"I want my father!" Chris cries out while he continues to hit Booster Gold, in contrast to Lois who grabs her child away from Booster Gold and allows Chris to cry on her chest. She is numb, watching as they distance herself from the man she loves.

Abruptly the black gem's liquid begins to flow faster and spreading wider through the streets of Metropolis, then it shoots out dark liquid falling across Metropolis. It hits some of the citizens and they begin to let out screams of agony as they decay from one drop of dark ooze falling on their skin. Booster Gold and Goldstar start to rush to get as many citizens to safety, nonetheless the dark substance is about to fall on them and all the people. However it stops in the middle of the air and forms a shape jet. The invisible force field seems to shake off the black ooze away from the crowd, Booster Gold, and Goldstar. The invisible jet comes close to the crowd and opens up, revealing Princess Diana, Wonder Woman.

"I can carry up to 15 people in my jet and escort them away from Metropolis." She yells and starts grabbing women and children to escort away from the darkness that is spreading quickly. With the efforts of Wonder Woman, Booster Gold, and Goldstar they are able to escort many people away from the darkness dome that surrounds Metropolis, destroying all life around it and inside. It kills the once filled with life and excitement city. It is all gone and covered in darkness. Lois looks on to the city that her husband loved so much be lost. Everything is gone.

In Gotham chaos surrounds the city as many people are panicking. People are trying to evacuate the city or causing crimes. The GCPD struggles to gain the city under control, at the same time evacuating people, while the Bat-family does the same. Batman strives to find a plan to go against the Doomsday clones that are closely approaching. But it is too late and they begin to destroy the city.

Batgirl, Black Bat, Red Robin, Spoiler, Red Hood, and Robin try to fight Doomsday clones, but the bullets, explosives, and chemicals do verily an effect on the powerful creatures. Batwoman and the GCPD join the fight, yet add little help to the situation. Batman is doing his best to find any technology that will help find these monstrous creatures and the longer he takes, more people die.

How could I not plan for this?!

He was so certain with the help of Superman and other powerful heroes that the Doomsday clones will be taken down. But is there too many to fight against and too many cities to protect. However, hope comes in as Batwing contacts Batman from the Justice League tower and has found some technology that will not destroy the Doomsdays, yet it will paralyze them. Batwing sends the technology they do have to Batman. Batman with the help of Batwing replicate the paralyzing stun guns. Batman goes to distribute it to the other heroes of Gotham, while Batwing distributes it to the heroes in the tower and other cities. Batman rides off in his Bat-motorcycle towards Gotham.

Countless of people have died from the destructive hands of Doomsday clones, many GCPD members, many citizens, and villains who have join the fight have died as Two-face and Penguin. Catwoman and Poison Ivy are using their skills to combat the Doomsdays. Poison Ivy is able to injure them, yet they tear through her plants. Catwoman tries to hold their monstrous strength back with her whip around their neck, but this is a mere joke as they easily pull her in. Both woman's necks are being held in a Doomsday's hands and starting to crush their cervical vertebrates. Just in time, Batman paralyzes the creature from breaking Catwoman's and Poison Ivy's neck.

"Thanks." Catwoman says while trying to catch her breath.

"No time." Batman replies and hands both women the paralyzing guns. "These are able to paralyze the Doomsday for at least two hours, try to get as many as possible."

After the explanation, Batman rides towards the heart of Gotham where the Bat-family is fighting.

All of the members of the Bat-family have received major injuries, yet did little harm to the Doomsdays that are crowding around them. Gordon tries to receive help from the government with this chaos, but to no avail. The Doomsdays are closing in ready to kill the heroes verily standing. Batman arrives and stuns some of the Doomsdays and throws the paralyzing guns to the other heroes of Gotham. All of them start discharging the paralyzing guns at the monsters. The tables turn and they all start spreading out taking care of the monsters.

In the middle of paralyzing a Doomsday in front of him, Batman's gun jammed and exploded. He rush making these weapons, so he should have expected for malfunctions. He tries to fight the Doomsday with the other arsenal in his belt. The Doomsday is able to snatch at him and about to break Batman in half, last minute Gordon is able to paralyze the monster. Batman releases himself from the clutches and is about to thank Gordon, but witnesses too late a Doomsday behind Gordon. The Doomsday uses all of its power to strike Gordon causing three large claw wounds across Gordon's chest. Batman rushes, grabs Gordon's paralyzing gun and paralyzes Doomsday, but it was too late. Batman kneels down to Gordon in dismay.

How could I have let this happen?!

"Father…" A small shaking voice says behind Batman. Batman turns around to see Batgirl, Barbara.

She kneels down next to her father and notices he is verily breathing. She begins to cry in agony, this cannot be happening to her. She grabs her father begging him to stay with her.

"Barbara…" Gordon whispers.

"I am here, Daddy!" She cries out taking off her mask, holding his hand, and trying to patch the deep wound. Gordon has a slight smile.

"I…" Gordon struggles with his last words to his baby girl. "Always…knew you…will be…a great hero… I love you" He whispers with his last breath.

"No!" Barbara begins to panic, adding more pressure to the wound.

"Father…Stay with me…Father! Dad! Daddy!... Please stay with me!… FATHER!"

She screams as she collapses on top of her father's corpse. Batman witnessing this tragedy that is his fault, his guilt and anger boil, releasing all his frustration on the Doomsdays.

After a couple of moments, Batgirl joins Batman in paralyzing the Doomsdays with tears streaming from her eyes. Batman's own tears stream from the child left inside him because the man who put a coat over his shoulder, who is his hero…has fallen.

"Ray!" Felicity shouts towards Ray as she arrives in his office, she saw the broadcast that every hero city is going to get destroyed.

"Felicity." Ray says as he grabs her and pulls her in his arms trying to calm her down. "I heard the news, I am trying to find a way to stop this."

"Ray, our baby daughter is in Ivy town!" Felicity remains in panic. "You need to go save her and the town!"

Ray takes Felicity words in consideration, but he received some paralyzing guns from Batwing to be able to see if he can make the paralyzing gun more effective. Also, he needs to protect the city he is in, Star City. He stares at Felicity, her eyes on the verge of tears. He gives a small peck to Felicity.

"I will go to Ivy Town and save our daughter." Ray reassures Felicity. "Love, I need you to do something very important for me."

Felicity relaxes and hears her husband's demands. Ray hands over the gun.

"You are better at technology than I am." Ray admits. "I need you to upgrade this paralyzing gun and make it more awesome."

Ray is able to get a cute giggle from Felicity. Felicity shares a small kiss with Ray.

"I will get this done!" Felicity states with confidence. "Count on your tech girl!...That sounds really lame…I am never good at saying great one-liners. Let me try it aga-"

Felicity is interrupted with a full kiss from Ray. After a lovely moment, Ray gets in his Atom suit. He calls the school that his daughter is attending.

"Hello?" A voice answers on the other side of the line. Atom shrinks enough to travel through phone lines reaching his city.

Felicity goes on to work on upgrading the paralyzing gun while keeping in contact with the Atom.

Atom arrives to the school and appears in front of the information desk. He alerts them about the news that Darkseid is planning to attack Ivy Town, however he won't let that happen. He needs everyone to assemble in the building and to grab hands. Then he will grab one hand and shrink everyone down, he will escort everyone to safety from there. Atom goes on to find his daughter, Joy.

"Daddy!" The eight year old girl with short brown hair and brown eyes hugs her father. She heard the message in the intercom about the soon coming attack on Ivy Town. Ray hugs her and comforts her, noticing the fear in her eyes.

"Hush, my girl." Ray whispers to her wiping the tears from her eyes. "Can you give me a smile, Joy?"

Joy looks up at her father and presents him with a smile. He grabs her and escorts her where everyone is gathering in auditorium holding hands. Atom waits to be certain nobody is left behind, before starting the process. He puts a small metal box with small holes on the top on the floor. Then he holds his daughter hand and smiles towards her ensuring everything will be alright. He begins to shrink down to the size of ant with the rest of the school staff and students. He instructs them to go inside the box, which the inside is covered with soft padding. Everyone starts rushing in, lastly his daughter enters.

"Everything will be alright, Joy." Ray tells her with a smile on his face. "Just keep being happy."

He goes on to shut the metal box and changes back to normal size.

"Felicity, I have gotten our daughter and the remaining school staff safe." Ray calls in Felicity.

"However, there is too many people in this city to continue doing this process, before the Doomsday clones come. How is the paralyzer going?"

"I have been able to integrate it to last long enough for a whole day." Felicity replies. "I have not been able to change its characteristics to be more than a paralyzer."

"That is my beautiful city!" He yells in excitement, despite his tone, he pauses, and correct himself. "That sounds really cheesy."

"It's fine." Felicity responds. "I love you, too."

They both share a romantic silence, before Ray hears a loud roar in the background of Felicity's intercom.

"What was that?" Ray begins to worry.

"The Doomsday clones have reach Star City!" Felicity replies in panic. "I have to get these paralyzing guns to the Arrow Family and Star City Police!"

She begins to hustle around trying to get all the ones she could replicate in a shrink ray, that shrinks them down to small pistol size for 30 minutes and she puts them in her purse. She runs to exit the building and is in the open chaos of Star City. She runs around to find any members of the arrow family.

"Wait, Felicity!" Ray shouts. "I don't want you to get hurt."

"I don't plan to." Felicity claims. "But I will not stand in the lines and watch people die. I never did!"

Ray ponders in silence, before responding. "Okay, Can you send me the blueprints for the paralyzing gun…Please, be safe."

"I will." Felicity replies at the same time sending the blueprints from her tablet. Felicity runs to find any sign of the heroes of Star city, while Ray transforms size and weight to be able to ride the breeze towards his lab with the metal box.

The nice lunch of the Arrow family was interrupted with the news that the Doomsday clones are coming to destroy their city. Mia, Roy, and Dinah suit up to fight against the threat, while Sin, Lian, and Olivia are meant to stay in Oliver's mansion.

Dinah, Roy, and Mia get on their motorcycles and head to the center of Star city, where vicious roars and destruction is happening. Dinah's mother and father are fighting downtown with the rest of the police force, still the bullets have no effect on the Doomsday clones. Dinah uses her canary cry to injure the Doomsday clones, while Roy and Mia shoot arrows to get the Doomsday clones attention. The clones rush towards them and Dinah, Roy, and Mia are able to dodge the clone's deadly attacks. They are able to avoid serious injuries from the clones while still trying to attack the clones with trick arrows and canary cries, but Mia gets caught by one of the Doomsday clones. She is about to be crushed in the monsters hands at that moment the Doomsday clone freezes in its position. Roy, Dinah, and Mia turn at the direction they heard a blast from, Felicity is standing there with Diggle who is holding one of the paralyzing guns.

All the paralyzing guns have return to their normal size and filling up the space of the car that Diggle and Felicity step out of. Mia with the help of Roy is able to pry herself out of the creature's hands. Felicity and Diggle quickly hand out the paralyzing guns to Dinah, Roy, and Mia. All of them go on firing to the Doomsday clones that are coming towards them.

"I am happy we were able to find you!" Felicity yells over the sounds of the blasts coming from the paralyzing guns.

"I am happy you are safe!" Dinah shouts back. "But you need to go pass the rest of the arsenal to civilians and police!"

"Thanks, Felicity for bringing the guns!" Roy states. "We will be fine, now."

"Yeah, you really saved my butt." Mia claims.

"Okay." Felicity agrees knowing it is best, even if it is opposing her feelings to fight alongside the Arrow family. Diggle and Felicity get in the car and drive off to give the rest of the paralyzing guns to the civilians and police officers.

Dinah, Roy, and Mia are paralyzing Doomsday clones in all directions and they have the upper hand in this battle. Suddenly, a roar rips through the skies and they grow concern because of the roar came from the direction of Oliver's mansion. All of them rush towards that direction.

Roy hears a scream who he believes is from his little daughter, Lian. Roy runs faster, leaving Dinah and Mia, and trying to reach Lian. Roy arrives to witness a horrible scene; Sin lying in a small crater, dead. He turns to his attention to the monster who killed Sin. Rip Roar stands there over Lian who is holding Olivia. Lian notices her father and screams for his help. He shoots Rip Roar with the paralyzing gun, paralyzing the four-arm monster. Roy approaches to grab Lian and Olivia, however he is grabbed tightly by Rip Roar, the paralyzing gun only paralyzed the powerful creature for a couple of seconds. Rip Roar proceeds to smash Roy down on the ground breaking many of Roy's bones. Rip Roar is about to hit Roy with the Mace, however Dinah and Mia arrive and paralyze Rip Roar with their paralyzing guns. They made the same mistake, Rip Roar grabs Mia's leg and smashes her on the ground multiple times, killing her. Dinah lets out a canary cry while still shooting at Rip Roar angry that the monster killed Mia and Sin. Rip Roar hits her with his mace, sending her flying. He runs over to her and smashes his mace down on her body, until she has no life left.

Roy notices that Rip Roar is not the same enemy they last time faced. Darkseid changed him, made him more monstrous, giant, and stronger. Rip Roar has not even spoke once. Roy notices it is too dangerous to face him, he crawls from the crater and uses all his strength to grab Lian and Olivia and run, while Rip Roar is still smashing Dinah's body. Rip Roar hears crying in the background coming from Olivia, he turns his attention to Roy's direction. Rip Roar makes a giant leap in front of Roy, who tries to paralyze the creature by shooting him multiple times, but this only gives him a couple minutes. Rip Roar grabs Roy away from Lian and Olivia, he begins to crush Roy with all four of his hands, till Roy's body becomes limp. Roy is dead. Rip Roar continues to hear Olivia's cries who is next to a frighten Lian. He hits Olivia with his mace, killing the baby. He is about to hit Lian with his mace, but Cheshire arrives to grab her daughter away from Rip Roar's mace. Rip Roar targets to attack Cheshire, but Black Arrow shoots arrows towards Rip Roar to get his attention. Black Arrow tells Cheshire to run away, while he leads Rip Roar. Cheshire takes her daughter away from the horrifying scene, however Lian is frozen in the scene of seeing her beloved father die.

Black Arrow is able to lead Rip Roar and both of them enter downtown of Star City. Black Arrow is able to sneak away from Rip Roar who is distracted by the whole chaos of Star City. Rip Roar releases another powerful roar and goes on destroying Star City and killing many people of Star City.

Felicity and Diggle are in the Palmer Technologies building trying to replicate more paralyzing guns to hand out to the civilians and police officers. All of sudden the whole building is shaking and the building starts collapsing. Rip Roar is ripping apart the building with Doomsday clones, Diggle and Felicity try to fight back with the paralyzing guns, but the debris comes down on them. Rip Roar destroys many floors of the building burying both of their lifeless bodies under the collapsed building that Ray and Felicity help build together.

Black Arrow and Cheshire look on to see the fallen Star City. They wish they could've saved those unfortunate souls, but it is not their mission. Cheshire came only to save her daughter, who is emotionless and staring at the city's fall. Black Arrow and Cheshire head back to the League of Assassins.

In the Justice League tower, heroes are quickly being transported down to earth to save cities from the Doomsday Clones. Nonetheless there is too few transporters and many heroes. Mr. Miracle and Big Barda are in another level of the JL Tower communicating with heroes in intercoms down on earth how to face the Doomsday Clones. Both of them have great knowledge of Apokolips, and that is the reason Darkseid appears behind both of them and puts an orange gem inside of Mr. Miracle's chest.

Big Barda attacks Darkseid and pins him to the ground.

"You have been the strongest warrior I know, Big Barda." Darkseid claims. "However, I would concentrate on escaping, because the orange gem will explode in five minutes."

Big Barda believes Darkseid's words and goes to her husband trying to figure out a way to get the gem out of him. Darkseid opens a portal and exits from the tower. Mr. Miracle is not able to find a way to escape.

"Well, this is the first time I can't escape from something." Mr. Miracle jokes.

"Don't joke around!" Big Barda starts panicking, because not only is there a bomb in her husband, but he is bleeding a great amount from the gem being imbedded in his chest.

"We can get out of this!" Big Barda continues trying to help him. "We always found a way to get through anything!"

Mr. Miracle coughs out blood and lays down on the ground with Big Barda at his side.

"Love…" Mr. Miracle struggles to speak. "I know…we can get…through anything…but… you need to tell…the others…warn them…"

"Don't talk." Big Barda pleads, she holds him and caresses his face as he does the same to hers. Big Barda begins to shed tears, she has never cried. Big Barda accepts this is the end for both of them, however she can save the other heroes. She gains her strength and pushes a button to an alarm of emergency in the Justice League Tower. She goes to the speaker.

"There is a powerful bomb that will detonate in two minutes!" She shouts. "Everyone evacuate!"

Big Barda returns to holding her dying husband in her arms.

The rest of heroes panic from hearing Big Barda's warning. Flash calms down everyone, and gets them make their way towards the transporter. Martian Manhunter works on typing the coordinates for the heroes to be transported to protect the cities under attack. Flash notices that there is too many heroes and not enough portals to transport all the heroes. Flash decides to take control he gets heroes quickly on the transporters and types the coordinates swiftly. He rushes to save many heroes as possible. He is able to grab Raven and Beast Boy who came to warn the Justice League.

"Stay safe, kids." Barry states with a smile on his face as both of them transport out of there. Hawkman and Hawkwoman try to assist Barry. However, he grabs both of them by surprise and puts them in the transporters.

"Save the city for me." Barry claims with a big smile on his face, then an orange light beams behind him. Hawkman and Hawkwoman are transported down to earth and the Justice League tower explodes killing Barry and many other heroes.

Hawkman and Hawkwoman appear in the destruction of New York City. Hawkwoman cared for Barry as a little brother. Hawkman hanged out with the foolish gang of Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Flash, Atom, and himself.

They go on to release their anger and agony on the Doomsday clones. They lost a great hero, many heroes, they will not lose the city. They go smashing the Doomsday clones with their powerful electric maces. Hawkwoman bashes the monster heads in and smashes them to the ground. Hawkman uses his axe to cut their limbs off and picks them up and drops their force down to the hard concrete.

Hawkwoman bashes her mace across a Doomsday clone, she turns to do the same to the clone behind her, at that moment Gilotina takes both of her swords and cuts through Hawkwoman's left wing. Hawkwoman screams in pain, she looks behind her and notices Gilotina holding her missing wing. Hawkwoman is bleeding profusely, yet she awakens from her shock and attacks Gilotina with her electric mace. Gilotina is able to slightly cut Hawkwoman giving her thin slashes across her body; Gilotina is teasing Hawkwoman. This does not go on for longer, because Hawkman noticing Hawkwoman gravely injured attacks Gilotina. He is able to cause a deep gash across Gilotina's body. He is about to pierce his spear into Gilotina, But two black star bolts blast through Hawkman's wings. He turns to the direction of the star bolts and witness Black Fire.

"What are you doing in Darkseid's army?!" Hawkwoman calls her out on her sudden friendliness with Darkseid.

"My wishes are not in your best interest." Black Fire replies. "But if you must know, he made a enticing offer that I could not refuse."

Hawkwoman tries to fly with her one wing, but fails. Black Fire pities her and comes down to Hawkwoman's level.

"Darkseid is only using you!" Hawkwoman shouts as she attacks Black Fire with the mace. Black Fire grabs Hawkwoman's mace with her hand and starts melting it.

"You have gotten slow and weak, old hag!" Black Fire comments while shooting a star bolt through Hawkwoman's right wing. Hawkwoman cries out and Black Fire laughs at her agony.

"Hahaha! I am not so foolish to not notice Darkseid's obvious way of using people." Black Fire continues to speak. "As long as I don't take something valuable from him, he would not care to give it to me. The thing I crave is valuable."

Black Fire kicks Hawkwoman through a building and follows her. Hawkman tries to follow them, but is caught in combat with Gilotina.

"Do you love how strong I have gotten?" Black Fire asks to Hawkwoman who is on the bridge of unconsciousness. "I have received training from the Female Furies, they call me a prodigy. A natural fighter!"

Black Fire uses her super strength to continuously deliver punches to Hawkwoman. Hawkman is able to push off Gilotina and come to protect Hawkwoman. Unexpectedly, Brimstone grabs Hawkman's damage wings and pushes him to the ground.

"You fake being angels. You are false angels!" Brimstone shouts while his touch begins to incinerate Hawkman's wing. Hawkman pierces Brimstone's eye with his spear and this is able to get Brimstone away from him. Hawkwoman picks up a piece of rubble and bashes it across Black Fire's head. This gives them both time to run and hide as they come up with a plan to defeat their enemies.

They find shelter in a destroyed building and notice a young teenage couple hiding in the same place. They address the young couple and ask for their names.

"Sarah." The young woman with blonde hair and green eyes replies.

"Charles." The young man with blonde hair and blue eyes responds.

Hawkman and Hawkwoman smile at the young couple and give advice how to function as a couple. The couple become comfortable with the heroes and try to help them. They use their own clothing to patch up their wounds. However that trail of blood led Black Fire, Gilotina, and Brimstone to their location. Brimstone reaches through the wall and pulls Hawkman and Hawkwoman through the wall. They both grab metal pipes and stab through Brimstone, but not after suffering third degree burns on their sides. Gilotina and Black Fire attack them. They try to hold them back waiting for the young couple to escape, though it is futile because the young couple is stuck under the rubble. Brimstone notices Hawkman and Hawkwoman's concern for the young couple, so he directs his attack towards couple. Hawkman gets in between Brimstone's right hand and the couple and begins to burn Hawkman and burn the metal armor covering his body. Hawkwoman comes to Hawkman's rescue, nevertheless the effort is useless and is caught by Brimstone's left hand as their armor melts and incinerate both of them.

"I am the avenging angel!" Brimstone yells to the open sky. He drops the charcoal bodies of Hawkman and Hawkwoman. Black Fire, Gilotina, and Brimstone leave from the scene and go on to destroy New York City.

The young couple remain unconscious while holding each other's hands resembling the charcoal bodies holding hands. The melted metal begins to flow into the direction of the young couple and infusing with them.

Beast Boy and Raven appear in front of the Teen Titans Tower that Aqualad, Blue Beetle, Connor Hawke, and Solstice. Many other young heroes join the battle protecting the citizens of Jump City. Raven and Beast Boy join the battle. Raven ask for a report on the status of the battle from Blue Beetle.

"Ay!" He yelps receiving an injury from flying debris. "These are all the members present that can fight alongside us. Superboy and Supergirl are nowhere to be found from the last footage seen from them. Wonder girl went to protect Themyscira. Impulse is in Central City. Red Robin and Spoiler are defending Gotham. Aqualad was able to join us while Atlantis defends coast cities across the nation. Connor able to respond to protect Jump City, while he trust the Arrow Family to protect Star City. Solstice is in charge to escort civilians to safety. I am constructing as fast as possible paralyzing guns. "

"Thanks for the report." Raven replies and goes on with the battle.

Battle seams in their favor as they are able to subdue the Doomsday Clones, especially when Blue Beetle is able to construct some paralyzing guns. Solstice power are doing great effect on the clones with her beautiful light and trying to escort people to safety. Solstice smile and light makes the people feel protected and warm. This is the reason for Eclipso picking Solstice as his target.

"Everyone follow me!" Solstice yells as she carries two children in her arms providing them warmth. Eclipso appears in front of Solstice and she tries to fight him, but he eclipses her light. He turns her around, having her back face him, he quickly grabs her head and twist it. Eclipso snaps Solstice neck.

Eclipso appears before the Titans and presents their ray of sunshine, Solstice dead, dropping her corpse in front of them. Raven angry, because she grew close to Solstice, strikes Eclipso with her dark magic to fight against Eclipso. The Titans turn their attention to defeat Eclipso, but he is much stronger than them. Eclipso goes on to kill many members of the Titans. Raven continues to fight him reflecting some of his death blows from some of the Titans. However, she does not notice that he does a sudden dark magic attack to Beast Boy. She focuses all her concentration to protect him from the strike. Eclipso takes advantage of her care and stabs his arm through her chest. She falls to the ground, dead. Beast Boy becomes enraged and attacks Eclipso, but he sends multiple energy blasts towards Beast Boy, which multiple of them pierce him and kill him. Aqualad uses water to try to combat Eclipso, but he traps Aqualad in an orb of darkness and crushes it, he opens the orb showing Aqualad's crushed body. He is about to kill Blue Beetle and Connor Hawke, but decides to spare them.

"Why are you sparing us!?" Connor shouts in frustration, not wanting Eclipso's pity.

"I love seeing how the one's left alive go on with their miserable life in pain of losing their friends." Eclipso replies before he starts flying off.

"I will get you!" Connor promises to Eclipso. Eclipso turns around high above the buildings of the city.

"On second thought, I will let everyone die." Eclipso picks up the water on the edge of the city and creates an enormous tsunami. Blue Beetle encases nearby citizens, Connor, and himself from the destructive tsunami. Eclipso laughs seeing the destruction of the city.

"Nothing is better than to destroy upcoming hope." Eclipso claims as he flies off still laughing wickedly.

"How are you doing, sweetie?" Wally asks Linda, while moving back and forth from the shelter and the city.

"Doing great. Would get more energy from a kiss?" Linda responds.

Wally gives a quick kiss to Linda, and a spark passes through their bodies when their lips connect. Wally separates from Linda and runs off to save more people. Linda watches as he gets farther away from her, then a fast cold breeze passes her. Linda becomes scared and shivers, she felt that death passed her in that freezing breeze.

"Be safe, Wally." She whispers.

This won't stop the Black Racer, he vibrates out of the ice and looks towards Captain Cold. Wally and the rogues stand there, frighten that Black Racer entered the battle field.

"You can see me." Black Racer whispers. "Then your time is near."

Wally runs to get the rogues out of the area, but the Black Racer is able to touch every single one of the rogues, before Wally can rescue them. They lie on the ground, dead, all of them, he could not save any of them. Wally frozen in disbelief of his failure.

"It is time for you." Black Racer whispers and reaches towards Wally. Wally breaks through his frozen state and runs away from the Black Racer.

Why is this happening?

Wally thinks to himself, running as fast as he can to avoid the Black Racer's deadly touch. Wally cannot believe he needs to avoid the Black Racer, once more. Wally turns around to see that the Black Racer is right behind him, it feels that he is looming over him, ready to swing the scythe. Also, Wally notices an indigo gem stuck into the Black Racer's chest. Wally wonders the purpose of the gem, but he needs to keep running away from the Black Racer. He runs away from death, leaving keystone to fend for itself; Keystone City falls.

Ray arrived to his lab with the little metal case containing all the people from the school, moments ago. He wishes to go out and fight the incoming Doomsday clones approaching his little town, but he finds it more effective of his time trying to figure out a method to get rid of all the Doomsday clones at once. He has been struggling to find ways of destroying these monstrous creatures. He holds his head in panic and pain trying to discover a solution that can save all the cities.

How can I defeat these things? I wish I can talk to Felicity, but she is not answering…maybe…No! I have to find a solution, but who can beat these gigantic creatures…I have to make them small and massless…

He looks at his own belt that helps him shrink down and become weightless to ride the wind towards his lab. He grabs the plans of the paralyzing gun and examines it, there must be some genetic code of the Doomsday clones to be able to paralyze the creatures. He looks in the Justice League files if there is any details of the monsters biology. He is able to find some information of the anatomy of the Doomsday and discovers maps of the DNA sequences. Since he has all the information and the technology he needs, he will make a chemical gas made from hydrogen of a dwarf star to spread over the town to shrink only the Doomsday clones. He has to be certain it effects only the clones, and not shrink down the whole town to an atomic size. The Doomsday clones will be weightless having no mass to be able to injure anybody.

A long time passes and finishes with his experimental chemical gas, however he needs to test it. Suddenly, a powerful roar shakes his lab and hears loud noises of stomping. He knows they are in his town and there is no time, he needs to take a risk. He gets in his jet and flies over Ivy town, hesitant to press the button to release the gas, it could shrink his whole town. He pauses and begins to think of his wife, his daughter, his town, and every city. He presses the button and the white gas spreads over the town. Silence. Gun fires stopped, roars are not heard in the air, and destruction seem to cease. He lands and notices that the people of the town remain, the buildings remain, but the Doomsday clones are gone!

"How are they withstanding the torture?" Darkseid questions Desaad and Granny Goodness.

"I thought they would psychologically break, once we killed and skinned that super mongrel in front of them." Desaad answers Darkseid. "But they didn't, so we forced them to eat that damn dog, and they still didn't break. You have captured powerful people, my lord."

"We will inform you, when one of them breaks." Granny Goodness informs Darkseid.

"Good." Darkseid states. "If they broke soon, then both would be worthless to me. I need to know which one to insert the red Apocalypse gem into. The last one standing will kill the one who fell. One will die and one will receive my red gem with a high general position in my army. Do you understand the arrangement, Superboy and Supergirl?"
