Reuniting is hard to do

Vegeta and the evil version my self fell to earth after what looked like a hard battle. The Saiyan King looked to have broken bones. The other version of me was knocked out.

I get closer, and I start fading out again. The dark Superman stands and I punch at him even though I know I don't have enough power to back it up, oddly my fist is sucked into his chest, in fact my whole body is.

He yells “get out of my mind! I was thrown in the dark and chained for far too long! I will stay free!"

“Free being a servant of Doom?" I answer "you have a strange definition of the word free."

We had a battle of wills for a minute one that I won. My mind went back to normal, and the rush of my powers returning, was exhilarating. I hear strained breathing coming form the ground behind me.

“So Kryptonian... you decided to change back to your red and blue Halloween costume I see.” I look down, and yes I'm back to wearing Blue and Red that Black K is weird stuff.


“Like you can Vegeta, you wear some pretty odd stuff yourself.” I joke.

“Bah! Get this over with and kill me! You've won! But know this I'll be back, and I will be stronger! "



I couldn't help but make this joke. “So If I strike you down you'll be more powerful than I can imagine?"

"Eh?" he asks. Not much of a movie watcher I see.

"Never mind. Long story short, I'm no longer under Doom's control, and despite our differences I doubt you want to see him rule the Earth anymore than I."

“Ah mind control? I should have known." He growls.

“Eat that Senzu Seed thing, you usually have, and we'll team up to defeat Doom."

“It’s a bean “he tries to correct me.

“Technically a bean is a seed." I shake my head.

He grumbles something and eats the bean I hear his bones snap together, I wince since it sounds painful.

“Now Kryptonian let us Go and Show Doom the error of his ways for trying to rule my planet. I ignore the way he says "my" planet. I concentrate on how I’m going to make Doom pay for trying to turn me into a slave. Putting his arrogant carcass in a prison cell is a good start.

Must stop this battle.

When I awake I feel that some of my powers have returned unfortunately none of super senses. There's the sound of pounding, not just the pounding headache I have I smash down the door. Blast my strength is no where near where it normally is. Neither is my invulnerability.

The guards at my cell blast me, and it actually burns I haven't been this vulnerable since I was 12. I punch the floor. All the guards and I fall into the chasm created.

I leap out, and discover I can't fly. Rao! This is annoying. I leap towards the sounds of battle. When my gaze catches the opponents I can see why the battle is so intense, in fact I'm surprised, and Latveria’s capital city is still there.

The Black K created version of myself which seems to have the bulk of my abilities is fighting Vegeta, King of Saiyans. One of the most powerful beings I've ever fought.

“My master Lord Doom wants you dead midget!" The evil me declares.

The arrogant king as usual laughs. “So Kal-El all those times you gave all those speeches about the sanctity of life, and the right of freedom where just words to bore me. Hmph I shall put the word hypocrite on your grave stone. I can't bellive you would serve such a lowly thing as Doom. And to think I actually respected you. I shall fix my mistake freak!"

Damn it Vegeta rarely holds back in inhabited areas. And my evil self likely won't I have to save the people here. Which is easier said than done. The power of their punches is knocking me away as much as any of them. Finally. Vegeta transforms into some thing with long spiky odd colored hair all and locks my evil self in to a choke hold.

I think that somehow if I can get close to my other self I can end this. Which is rather a strange thought, but one I can't get out my head. The dark version of me breaks the saiyan's grip and takes to the air.

How am I supposed to end this now? I can't fly anymore. But I have to for the world for Lois, I can't let Doom win. My hand feels strange, I look down at it and Great Krypton! It's fading out. I'm fading.

TBC.
