Michael Carter passes out as Doomsday charges in his direction. As he slumps into the ground, Michael never sees the blur of red that slams into Doomsday at the last moment.

Clark's trajectory propels himself and Doomsday into the ground floor of a mid-rise office building.

Doomsday roars as he swings a bone encrusted fist at Clark. Clark brings up his arm to block the punch and follows up with one of his own. Clark winces as his fist hits Doomsday on the jaw. The blow sends Doomsday skidding into the middle of the street. Before Doomsday could recover, Clark picks up an abandoned firetruck and smashes it onto Doomsday's head, driving the creature into the pavement.

After a few minutes, people started to come out of the surrounding buildings. The people started to cheer and gather around Clark and Bleez. Some of them took out their smartphones to take pictures and video. Clark's superhearing detected a rumbling sound coming from beneath the pavement.

"Everyone! Get out of here now!"

Just as the words came out from Clark's mouth, Doomsday smashes his way from beneath the pavement, pelting everyone within range with large jagged shards of concrete and asphalt. The creature then grabs a hold of Clark's cape and throws the Kryptonian into a heavily damaged building. The impact causes the building to collapse on top of Clark.

Clark climbs out from underneath the rubble and calls out to Bleez. "Get these people out of here! Get them to safety!"

"You have to know something about the creature you're dealing with!" replied Bleez.

"It could wait for later, Bleez! Get these people to safety now!" commanded Clark as he quickly got up and blurred into Doomsday, slamming the creature into a building.

Bleez growls as she projects a force field around Michael Carter and several civilians. She looks over to Clark a last time before taking to the sky at great speed. "Arrogant male! How dare you dismiss me!" she said under her breath.

Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner finally make it to Metropolis. As they flew towards Main Street, Rayner taps Gardner's shoulder and points to a red streak moving away from Main Street. "Wasn't that Bleez? She looked pissed!"

"Typical Clark, he pisses them off then makes them fall head over heels in love with him," said Gardner with a chuckle.

"No way! Clark and Bleez? For real?"

"Of course not! You're so easy, punk!" Gardner replied with a chuckle.

"Fuck you, Guy!"

"Yeah, yeah. Let's get down there and help Clark."

Gardner and Rayner land as Clark and Doomsday were exchanging blows. Gardner quickly joins the fray as Rayner generates a force field around the remaining civilians. "Get them out of here, Kyle!" called out Gardner.

Gardner generates translucent green bands that wrap around Doomsday as Clark slams both of his fists into Doomsday's torso sending the beast flying into a parking lot. "Come on, Clark! Let's pound this freak!"

As Gardner zips past Clark into the parking lot. "Where the fuck are you, big and ugly? I've got some payback from Michael!" he says into the darkness.

"Gardner! Behind you!" warns Clark as Doomsday comes out from behind and grabs hold of Gardner's right arm. Doomsday's jagged claws rip into Gardner's flesh as the creature twists on Gardner's arm and then pulls it out from its socket. Separated from his power ring, Gardner loses his ring's protection. Tossing Gardner's severed arm aside, Doomsday picks Gardner up and throws him into a wall. The impact breaks Gardner's back.

Clark blurs to Gardner's side. Using his x-ray vision, he could see that Gardner's injuries were fatal. "Guy, I have to get you out of here."

"No time for that, Clark. Muh-My time's already up. You-You've to kill that bastard!" Gardner stammers as the pain of his injuries set in.

"You gotta pound that sonofabitch into the ground. Don't hold back. Use your rage!" Gardner says as he grabs at Clark's arm.

Gardner lets out a labored sigh as his grip on Clark's arm goes limp. In the distance, Gardner's ring floats into the away from the scene as it searches for another bearer.

"I'm so sorry Guy."

Clark roars as he blasts Doomsday with rage plasma infused heat vision. Doomsday lets out an inhuman howl as he is hit by the beams. The parking lot is soon filled with smoke and the stench of burning flesh.

After the smoke dissipates, Clark stood before the charred remains of Doomsday. He hears Doomsday moan as the creature rapidly heals itself in front of him. In a span of two minutes, a more fearsome creature sits itself upright before Clark.

"Oh, shit!"

Clark is sent careening out from the parking lot as Doomsday hits him with its own heat vision.

Bleez and Rayner arrive just in time to see Clark lying in the street across from the parking lot. "Kal-El! Are you alright?" inquired Bleez as she kneels by Clark's side, making no effort to mask her concern for him.

"I'm OK. The creature just hit me with a blast of heat vision," replied Clark as he sat himself up.

"Where's Gardner?" asked Rayner.

"He's gone, Kyle. I'm sorry."

"Kal-El, there is something you need to know about the creature. About Doomsday."

"What is it, Bleez?"

But before Bleez could relay any information, Doomsday blurs into Clark. The creature then proceeds to plow Clark into a line of office buildings.

"Clark!" yells Rayner as he and Bleez rush to follow the two combatants.

"What is it that you know about this Doomsday, Bleez?"

"That creature is called Doomsday. Once he sets foot on a planet, he kills every living thing on it. The creature doesn't need to eat or breathe because it can harness pure solar radiation, it has a rapid healing ability and it can replicate an attacker's powers and use it against them. Even your mighty Guardians on Oa were not able to stop him."

"Oh shit! We've got to tell Clark! How come you know a lot about this Doomsday?"

"I once snuck into the Guardians' hidden vaults on Oa and read their files. There is a lot of information the Guardians keep hidden even from you."

"Does it say anywhere in those files how this Doomsday could be stopped?"

"No. I'm afraid not."

"Then we're fucked."

Clark digs his heels into the concrete pavement as he wrestles with Doomsday. Channeling all his strength into his fist, he hits Doomsday with successive punches to the ribs. Doomsday lets out a roar as the creature doubles up in pain.

Clark lifts Doomsday up and zooms up into the outer atmospheres hoping that the lack of air and intense cold would slow down the creature. To his surprise, Doomsday is unaffected by the lack of air. The creature looks at Clark and a sort of chuckling sound could be heard coming from him. Clark's irises begin to smoulder.

Breaking away from Clark's hold, Doomsday lets himself plummet down to Earth. Clark seizes the opportunity and pushes himself into Doomsday increasing the creature's downward velocity. The two combatants pound on each other as they burn up upon re-entry. Like twin meteors, Clark and Doomsday hit an open field in Smallville, Kansas.

The ground shudders at the impact. Seismic monitoring devices across the Midwest register an intensity 8 earthquake. The Air Force is called in to monitor the impact site.

Clark and Doomsday's impact created a crater half a mile in radius and almost 200 feet deep. After the dust and debris have settled, Bleez and Rayner find an unconscious Clark but no sign of Doomsday. Bleez examines Clark, his face bruised. There was a deep cut over his eye. Clark's Kryptonian armor was torn across the chest exposing his chest which had cuts and bruises.

Rayner taps the JL communicator in his ear and says, "Vic, beam us up. Tell Bruce we need to get everybody together. There's no sign of Doomsday. He's disappeared."

Clark again finds himself walking the earthen path lined with Crabapple trees. He hears Diana's voice in the distance. She stood at the end of the path with a toddler sleeping peacefully on her bosom. "We've been waiting for you, Kal."

"Diana!"

He runs to her when Doomsday bursts from out of the ground. Blocking him from Diana and their supposed child. Doomsday lets out an inhuman laugh.

"NO! DIANA!"

"KAL!"

Clark wakes up with a start. He quickly sat himself up as Donna came into the Watchtower's infirmary. "Donna? How long was I out?"

"You've been out for two days, Kal-El."

"Have you found Doomsday?"

"The creature's name is Doomsday? We still have not found any trace of him."

"I have to find him. He's a danger to the planet. But he seems to be a lot stronger than me. I need something to help me destroy him."

Donna's thoughts drift to the God-Killer which was given to the Amazons by the god known as the One Above All through the goddess Gaea. "Could this be the opportune time to use the God-Killer?" she thought to herself.

She turns to Clark who looked sullen. "You miss my sister. Don't you?"

"I do. I feel as if my will to live has gone."

Donna embraces her brother-in-law. "Diana wouldn't want you to feel that way, Kal-El."

"I just miss her so much. Did you know she was pregnant?" Clark sighed sadly.

"We knew. Hessia told us. I'm so sorry, Kal-El."

Before Clark could reply, J'onn's voice comes through the Watchtower intercoms. "We have found Doomsday. He has just surfaced in Washington and he is heading straight for Andrews Air Force Base!"

Clark looks at Donna who nods at him. Together they blur towards the Monitor Womb.

Arriving at the Monitor Womb, Clark and Donna are met by J'onn, Bleez and Rayner.

"We have to get down there now!" growled Rayner.

"We have to think this through, Kyle. We know that Doomsday has a rapid healing ability. That makes conventional weapons, even your heat-vision ineffective against him. They may slow him down but he could still heal himself. We need a weapon that could cut him down once and for all," said J'onn.

"I know of one. Its in Themyscira. Will you come with me to retrieve it?" Donna spoke as she turned to J'onn who nods in affirmation.

"Since most of our members are still assisting Bruce in Gotham, and the other Green Lanterns are still off-world we shall have to make do with what is available to us. Kal-El, you, Kyle and the Lady Bleez have to fly down to Andrews. You must slow Doomsday down until help arrives."

"Kal-El, I know you are still grieving but please do not do anything rash," said J'onn as he placed his hand on Clark's shoulder.

"I will J'onn. I mean I'll try my best not to do anything rash," Clark smiled as he replied.

"I'll make sure he won't," said Bleez as she pressed herself to Clark's side earning a glare from Donna.

Donna was about to say something but decided to remain silent.

"It is settled then. Victor, when we take our leave please make sure that all communication lines are open."

"You got it J'onn. Good luck to all of you!" replied Victor.

Clark, Rayner and Bleez materialize just in time as Doomsday attacks Andrews Air Force Base. The creature had already destroyed the runway preventing other planes from taking off.

Ripping off a wing from a C-130, Doomsday throws it in Clark's direction. Clark and Bleez were able to evade the projectile. However, the wing grazes Rayner's thigh causing the Green Lantern to lose concentration and fall to the ground below.

"Kyle!" Bleez calls out as she swooped down to rescue Rayner.

"You alright?" she asked.

"Yes. Its just a scratch. We've got to slow him down. No matter what," said Rayner.

Clark nods and rockets into Doomsday. Bleez follows closely behind. Clark's with Doomsday impact drives the creature into the damaged C-130 causing the plane to explode. Bleez erects a force-field to shield herself from the explosion.

"Superman! Help!" several airmen call out to Clark.

Clark looks in their direction. The airmen were trying to free one of their comrades whose leg was caught under the wing of a V-22 Osprey.

Clark and Bleez blur to the airmen as Clark lifts up the wing so that the other airmen could pull their compatriot out. "Any other survivors?" he asks a female airman.

"I'm afraid not. Its just us," she replied as she points to the other airmen. Clark counts five airmen.

"Bleez, get them to safety. I'll handle Doomsday," Clark managed to say as Doomsday grabs him by the shoulder.

"Go! Don't stop for anything!" Clark calls out to Bleez who surrounds the airmen in a force-field and flies them to safety.

Seeing Bleez and the airmen fly off, Clark turns to face Doomsday. He shoots a beam of heat-vision into Doomsday's eyes.

Blinded, Doomsday swings his arms wildly. Clark deftly evades Doomsday's wild punches and landing several of his own. His knuckles hurt on each impact.

Doomsday was starting to regain his vision when Rayner joined the fight. He hit Doomsday in the mid-section with a sledgehammer construct. The creature doubles over.

"Careful, Kyle. Don't get too near him," Clark cautions Rayner.

Feigning injury, Doomsday lets Rayner drift closer before launching his attack. With superhuman speed, Doomsday hits Rayner with a double-hammer fist to the spine.

"Kyle!" shouts Clark as he hits Doomsday with a punch to the temple. Clark's punch sends shockwaves throughout the base causing windows to shatter.

Clark walks over to Rayner. His superhuman senses tell him that the Green Lantern had already died from his injuries. In the distance his green ring floats away to find a new bearer.

Before Clark could offer a silent prayer, Doomsday plows into him. The two combatants trade blow for blow. Each one refusing to yield. Neither one expecting no quarter. Only one of them will come out of this alive.

Clark's repeated blows slowly took its toll on Doomsday, finally making a cut into the creature's tough gray hide.

It was at this moment that a Javelin made a hasty landing. Donna in her Wonder Woman garb bolted from the Javelin's cargo hold with the God-Killer in her hand.

"Kal-El! I have come with the God-Killer!"

Clark quickly comes up with a plan. Twisting to his side during Doomsday's forward thrust, he positions himself behind the creature and applies a sleeper hold on Doomsday.

"Now, Donna! Take the shot!" Clark called out as he locks his fingers to complete the hold.

Donna threw the God-Killer with all her strength. Her aim true as the spear hits Doomsday in the chest with a loud thunk. Death came swiftly for the creature before it even fell forward to the ground.

The sweetness of this victory was soon to be replaced by the bitter taste of loss. To Donna's horror the spear had went through Doomsday and into Clark.

Clark falls to the ground, a deep gash on his chest. Rage plasma seeps out from the wound.

"KAL-EL!"

Donna quickly rushes over to Clark's side. She carefully propped his head upon her lap. "I'm so sorry, Kal-El!" she apologized. Tears flowing from her eyes.

"Did-did we get him?" Clark managed to smile as he began to cough out blood.

"We did. Doomsday is no more. I-I'm terribly sorry."

"No-no need-need to be sorry, Donna. Diana, she-she's wuh-waiting for me," Clark said between gasps.

Clark walks the earthen pathway. Rays of sunlight peer through the canopy created by the Crabapple trees lining the pathway. The soft, cool breeze carried a familiar sweet scent. He breathes it in and looks in the distance. Diana smiled at Clark as she stood at the pathway's end, resplendent in a white Grecian gown.

Clark with his eyes closed, smiles as his head rests on Donna's lap. "Diana," he sighs as he reaches out with his hand.

"Go to her, Kal-El."

"Go to her."

A short distance away, Bleez returns to the base having brought the airmen to safety.

"Is Kal-El?" Bleez could barely say the words as red tears started flowing from her eyes.

"Yes. He is with his love," Donna replied.

Hippolyta, Queen of Themyscira imperiously held claim over Clark's remains. Citing that Clark had by virtue of his marriage to Diana, had Themysciran citizenship and as a member of the royal family shall be buried with his wife in Themyscira.

President Simons acquiesced to Hippolyta's demands fearful of having a nation of immortal amazons with magical weapons as enemies. As a compromise, Hippolyta allowed for a memorial to be erected near the Lincoln Memorial.

Themyscira

One year after

Briseis, a young amazon of only 600 years of age made her way into the catacombs. Being the youngest on the island she was given the task of re-lighting the torches lining the walls of the catacombs. She looked forward to coming down into the main gallery to view the unspoiled remains of Clark and Diana. She made her way to the large stone on which Clark and Diana's remains were laid. As she lit the torches around the stone, it was empty but the burial shrouds.

As Briseis ran for the palace to inform the queen of the disappearance of the bodies, a cloaked figure stepped out from the shadows. Pulling back his hood the One Above All says, "Finally! Balance has been restored to the Universe!"

THE END
