(A/N):Maybe I am growing arrogant or something But I really REALLY feel like I got superman part in this chapter well! I don't think another fic focused on this part of superman so I hope you like it Or maybe I am simply ego buffed at the moment But in any case give me your opinion when you finish if you like how I did it .
[Superman (clark kent) pov.]
As I punched It away making the earth crack with a shockwave.I looked around hearing the screams and seeing the few numbers of villagers on the island.
'Inhabited' I need to take the fight elsewhere.As with A roar of anger that thing jumped through the air its red eyes focused on me I didn't hesitate and took my chance.
I flew towards it with a boom sound I arrived behind it in a second as I held its back And I did something I do very rarely I didn't hold back.
I used all the power I can muster as I threw him to the sky As I flew towards it
A second later I was near it's face as I punched it with my left sending it higher while I followed it across the sky when we almost reached orbit.
I was about To give it another punch but it's hand snapped as if he didn't feel any pain and punched me in the chin and I felt my brain shake making me lose my momentum .
I felt my head gets gripped while we both started falling As I activated my heat vision trying to burn through it's hand At first I felt my heat vision burn through his hand but the more time I used it. It became less effective I was about to try taking us both to space But his hand holding my face was gone as a headbutt was given to my nose.
I heard a crack as my face exploded in pain But through It all the only thing registered in my head was the voices…the voices from young children to grown adults cries of grief and happiness of teens and the cries of newborns voices of people living voices that grew louder to my super hearing the more time passed the more we got closer to crash.
'Another village? No the voices are too many for that a city! We are falling to a city ! I CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN!'
I opened my eyes ignoring all the pain from my broken nose as I stared at the being red eyes while it is preparing to headbutt me again.
'I HAVE HAD ENOUGH'
My eyes glowed red as my heat vision was released to the point that even my eyes felt the strain As I kept forcing more and more energy
I felt it his grip on me loosened just slightly Just enough for me to move my hand to get a good grip on his shoulder As I forced my mind to focus .
'I need someplace quiet and empty'
Just as I was about to try to take it to space again something unexpected happened It's eyes glowed red as well as it's own heat vision released and clashed with mine and in that second of shock I received a punch to the face that reminded me of darkside …..
'You know ? Asking for backup doesn't sound so bad at the moment'.
I forced myself to focus as I altered our falling path 'we should crash at the far end of the city with this I hope the league can evacuate whoever lives there fast because I can't be distracted fighting this thing'.
I kept using all my strength to make sure it doesn't ruin my effort of changing our crash course but suddenly the bones on it's stomach grew to the outside but as I made sure not to get impaled on them I received another punch to the chin that left me completely dazed .
I didn't come to my mind again until I felt a slight tingle feeling on my back as we crashed through the top of a building and into the ground below .
The being didn't waste a second of raining punches on me they hurt I felt my muscles strain and even a few bones crack but my mind wasn't on the pain wasn't on the danger of the situation nor the being punching me with no thoughts whatsoever.
'They are gone Two heart beats are gone…'
I opened my swollen eye as I looked to where the sound was a few seconds ago just to be silenced when we crashed .
Then I saw it . A small hand was buried beneath the debris a small girl hugged by her mother protectively …both crushed under the debris from the crash.
My super mind stopped working as I forced myself to remember it and as I focused the image of them became clearer their voices that I heard a few seconds earlier but hadn't been able to focus on became clear to me.
"Mom can you tell me a stroy?" Asked a drowsy little girl around the age of five in her mother lab.
"Dear Didn't mother tell you already? Your story books were all finished I will buy you new ones at the morning ." Said the older woman who had a very exhausted voice obviously tired from the day and wished to rest already.
"It's fine you can make one mom I won't complain!".
"Fine but you have to promise you won't complain alright? ".
Before the littel girl had time to answer the roof exploded as superman and doomsday crashed bringing the roof down atop of them the mother had not even registered what happened but her hands moved on its own hugging her daughter protectively while the girl confused asked "Mama?".
My mind came back to the present as emotions exploded in my chest from sadness and grief at my failure to an overwhelming guilt at not preventing this.
"I am so sorry ".
Another punch crashed at my face as I focused on the battle my suit was in tatters my body was hurting But as I locked eyes with that thing There was No fear no pain all my emotions transformed to one thing that filled my aching body with energy ANGER!.
As another punch almost crashed on me My hand moved with speed that only my subconscious knew I was capable off As I held the punch in my grip as the ground beneath me shattered from its force but for me? it was powerfull sure But I didn't feel it was as powerful as before Or maybe I simply didn't care if it was.
"I will make this painful for you….try to not die for me".
I used my other hand as I punched it in face sending it to the sky as I heard a crack from my hand not that I bothered caring about it as I stood at my feet just as it crashed and rose screaming like the wild beast it always acted like .
I didn't care I moved at super speed as I pushed my hand In his throat and Pulled as its tongue tore apart from the inside and came free.
I threw it te ground.
It was about to scream again But I punched it again and again at supersonic speed sending it flying to the side of a building crashing through it.
I didn't feel anything even as my knuckles bones was exposed the pain was at the back of my minds at the moment 'That building should be empty'
'I will drive it out from this populated city and then? ALL RULES ARE OFF'
As I stepped on its tongue that was on the ground squashing it
I looked at the building saying.
"Come on We know this won't keep you down …..and I am a long way from letting you go this easily . I already told didn't I? I will make it painful for you and if you survive or not?"
I felt a slight hesitation surface at that moment but just remembering the little girl confusion before her small life came to an untimely end all my confusion was gone replaced by resolve and anger.
As it rose again it's scream much uglier now without it's tongue .
I continued my sentence but it was more for myself than him it was to cement my choice.
"If you survive or not? .....It's none of my concern ".
[Pink diamond (Mc) pov.]
(20 hours later or 19 hours and 50 minutes later)
My bubble was rising steadily As Light finally was able to reach me so I was able to look around and enjoy the wonderful ocean depths.
'This is beautiful …Or maybe not having to breath make it much easier to appreciate the beauty rather than the danger.'
But something drew my attention as I saw a glowing rock to the side of a small underwater cliff So with slight hesitation I poofed my bubble.
As I felt the water surround my body I took a second to let the water settle before I started swimming to the cliff .
As I reached it I saw what I came for something is glowing beneath the stone surface .
I crushed the stones in my hand as I removed them from the way just to come face to face with a very beautiful growing green rock or more exactly a cave of them .
'Kryptonite!!'.
My shock would have made me drown if I needed to breath…As the smile that formed on my face grew by the second.
'This is useful not only if big blue was controlled and I needed a anti-superman card But the question was what would happen if I combined kryptonite with diamond essence? What kind of gem would form? The possibilities was beautiful '.
I made sure to pick a lot of it I have probably stored a hundred rocks already but well….I can store things in my diamond so why hold back?.
I cleaned the place or as much As I could there was some chunks that needed me to either bring equipment to extract or use the Qura Qura No Mi.
But I would rather not cause a tsunami if I can help it.
I wouldn't be suprised if I had more than 100 kg already or more …..A rare stone indeed huh?.
Well It's the dc universe and they can call it as rare as they like but kryptonite? The only reason it's probably rare is because lex buy all of it and isn't sharing…..he probably have tons of it by now .
That man has problems that start with ego and end with pride .
But well that is a good find and since I don't plan to kill superman I would say the kryptonite is in a safe hand.
I clapped my hand back together as I formed the bubble again and engulfed my self in it as I started my slow ascending to the surface...
'This is really taking a while…..I wonder how long was I out before waking up…maybe having a watch in the future won't hurt '
