Clark sits quietly at his desk, at the Daily Planet, typing the byline for the morning’s, quickly approaching, deadline. Lois comes stumbling through the door with her eyes glazed over from exhaustion, with two cups of steaming hot coffee. (Lois and Clark have been out all night doing some investigative reporting. There has been a spree of murders to hit Metropolis. In total over 37 have been mutilated in the same fashion.) LOIS: So Clark, are we on the same page that all the murders are connected? CLARK: Lois there’s something that just doesn’t sit well with me about this. I don’t think that what we’re dealing with is human. LOIS: So you think it’s another one of your Krypton buddies? CLARK Very funny Lois.....I have a hunch Lex might have something to do with this. LOIS: OK back to work Clark...We have a deadline to knock out. We print facts at the Planet, not hunches, and wild ones at that. Save the conspiracy theories for The Inquisitor. CLARK: (SMIRKS) Didn’t you try, and land a job at that tabloid piece of trash. LOIS: Can it Clark! (Clark peers over his glasses and then takes a drink of coffee) CLARK: So, if it’s not Luthor that’s behind this, then who? LOIS: It’s not rocket science, 37 people have been murdered with the same M.O. It doesn’t take much investigative reporting to see that we have a serial killer on our hands. (Lois starts to nod off) CLARK: I’m still not convinced on the whole serial killer take. I think it’s more sinister, but I do THINK you (BANGS TABLE) need to wake up and drink some coffee. This deadline is going to write itself. (Clark gives charismatic grin) CLARK: Fine Lois let’s look at what we’ve learned, the facts. After all of our research tonight, what was the one thing all the victims have in common? LOIS: All of the victims we’re mutilated beyond the point of recognition. CLARK: Doesn’t it strike you as odd; with 37 people tortured and killed that brutally, in public no less, that there would be at least one witness? LOIS: I... CLARK: Hold on a second Lois. I have to take this. (Clark grabs his cell phone and pretends to take a call.) CLARK: Lois I’ve got to take care of this. Can you finish up here? © Morgan Strebler 2014 LOIS: I Guess.... (Clark's already out the door.) (Clarks has been summoned to the fortress of solitude. He turns into Superman and flies there. When he arrives he notices that it has been completely destroyed. One word was written in blood on a piece of the standing fortress... ”DOOMSDAY!” Clark salvages what’s left of the crystals and attempts to contact Jor-El) SUPERMAN: Jor-El are you there? I need you now more than ever. There is a threat facing earth called Doomsday. I need to know how to stop him. (A few minutes pass) JOR-EL: Hello my son. This beast the creature you refer to as Doomsday, is from the planet Krypton. About 250,000 years ago, Krypton was a hellish place, and he was known as “The Ultimate”. He was created by the alien scientist Bertron. Bertron sent the infant humanoid out in the blistering hellish temperatures to near instant death. This went on for decades, and the chemical make-up of his genes, had been adapting the entire time. It essentially made him hate all life forms. “The Ultimate” eventually became the “Ultimate” predator and killing machine. He thrives on solar energy, and eventually killed Bertron. He left Krypton on a ship, and that all I know. I will tell you this Kal-El; he will be your greatest challenge. SUPERMAN: Does he have a weakness? JOR-EL: There is a way to destroy Doomsday. He only has one weakness and it’s....... SUPERMAN: (Yells) JOR-EL NOOOO!!! (Suddenly the rest of the Fortress of Solitude collapses, FADES TO BLACK AND CRUMBLES, then sinks below the thick white pallet of snow. Kal-El is now truly a lone) (Over the next month...Doomsday has left earth. After Doomsday destroys Metropolis, he is sent to kill the entire Green Lantern Corps, Taking all the other green lanterns rings only to devour them, leaving only John Stewart as the last known Green Lantern survivor.) (Having left earth Doomsday quickly traveled to OA, the home planet of the Green Lantern Corps, to fulfill his mission to eradicate the entire Corps of Green Lanterns. Of Course the green lanterns would not go down without a fight so they sent out a signal all across the universe, in every single sector and galaxy for them to rally up and take on this gargantuan beast. Doomsday was met by many armadas of Green Lanterns, all with their own individual constructs, there we’re planes, missiles and even a giant train made of “Will” hurling at him from every direction, being the unstoppable machine that he is he quickly ravished one platoon after another. Sometimes, even, consuming the corpses of the Green Lanterns. From all corners of the universe they came, and quickly they were destroyed, Some went back into OA to replenish their rings, but they weren’t quick enough, doomsday would slam one lantern to another, tearing them into pieces, didn’t matter the size nor how strong they were, they would be shred to pieces. John Stewart showed up only to find many of his lantern brothers and sisters dead, floating in the endless space. But there was no time to mourn, Doomsday was at the core of the © Morgan Strebler 2014 Green lanterns, near their life source, The Central Power Battery, and he had to be stopped, John came upon Doomsday, making a giant harpoon construct made from his ring, with this he ,launches it into the chest of doomsday, only for doomsday to catch it and bring John closer to him, right before him and doomsday meet eye to eye, john quickly starts sending beams into doomsdays eyes, provoking him, making him angry). JOHN: Come on you ugly beast, you’re nothing, but an overgrown koala (Doomsday seems irritated so john continues, to mock him and launching beams of “will” upon him, doomsday backs away from the Central Battery, and goes after john. The chase is on and John flies as fast as he can, as far away from his home world, as much as possible, leading Doomsday away from his home world, and into an asteroid field, where he dodges asteroids left and right, Doomsday hitting them all, without a flinch Finally when they are far enough away, john uses some of his last power to create a chain construct, chaining doomsday and some asteroids , and hurling them into a nearby black hole, where nothing can escape not even light, of course John doesn’t know who he is dealing with. After doomsday gets hurled into the black hole, John notices that he is fighting the massive gravity and it will not hold him for long, instead of trying to finish him off, john knows that he can’t do it by himself, so he flies back to his home world to take the Central Battery and escapes with it, hiding it, in another place in the galaxy, leaving John Stewart as the last of his kind, the last guardian of the universe, the last of the Green Lanterns.) When Doomsday returns to OA not finding anything and seeing everything destroyed he sees his mission as completed, so decides to return to earth, where Lex Luthor had another mission in store for him Lex then sends Doomsday to Earth 2, to kill Superman, known there as Kal-L. Doomsday starts ravaging the land destroying everything in its path. With the ability to sense all Kryptonians, the beast is lead straight to Metropolis. Doomsday starts destroying the city, when, who just happened to be in Metropolis on business? Bruce Wayne, he quickly changes into his Batman armor, remotes his Batmobile to him. When it arrives, he drives at lightning speed up to the creature firing missiles at it!! It doesn’t even faze Doomsday! Superman hears what’s going on from a few miles away, and starts flying toward them at a speed so fast that it’s literally a blur. Meanwhile Doomsday rips the roof of the Batmobile, delivering a single punch, killing Batman instantly. Superman sees his fellow hero and friend dead upon arrival. He flies into Doomsday sending him through three skyscrapers. Doomsday, is instantly healed from the massive blow, gets up punches Superman sending him to the ground. He gets on top of The Man of Steel, and strikes him repeatedly. Superman shoots heat vision into the monsters eyes. Kal-L gets up, he’s a bloody mess. Doomsday shoots one of his sharp boney protrusions at Superman. It grabs his heart ripping it from his chest. The boney death trap repels back to Doomsday. He crushes The Man of Steels heart just as Superman falls to the ground dead. During that month....Clark returns from the fortress of solitude. Metropolis has been declared a disaster zone. The buildings, streets, and thousands of cars have been destroyed. Clark © Morgan Strebler 2014 can’t find Lois Lane anywhere. He searches the Daily Planet, her home, and finally finds out from her cousin, Chloe, that she is in a coma at Metropolis General.)
