The Battle for Everything (Sept 22nd-23rd)
Asgard. The Golden Realm. The Realm Eternal. One of the nine worlds. Home of the Norse gods. Darkness covered the land and the realm's inhabitants had retired for the evening. Peace and quiet had fallen over a land frequently subjected to strife and violence.

A blinding light shattered the darkness and Kang and his followers materialized from the portal. Kang took a second to survey the scene. The reshaping of worlds started here. Tonight he would have the one who would be a thorn in his side decades from now. Tonight gods would fall and die and the babe would be his. The last weapon to be collected and one that would help him reshape worlds in Kang's image.

"Kill them all," Kang said to his gathered forces collected from various worlds from various points in time.

The ones that had given the so-called-heroes the most problems. The new Mandarin, son of the former, at the height of his power before he made the mistake of getting involved with the Stark girl. Apocalypse plucked from time just before his defeat at the hands of the X-Men, X-Factor and the Avengers. Hyperion the titan of myth plucked from time before his defeat at the hands of heroes. These joined the deviants he grabbed before their defeat and a being named Mongul.

"The babe being born this night is mine," Kang said. The child would serve Kang and be the implement of Kang's will.

He was right.

The impact hurt.

A lot.

But he's up. And the taunt brings something up other than the anger.

'Take your death like a man.'

rage
Yes, that's still there... but the last time this happened, he was Superman, for a time. He had to lead, he had to step up. And this... thing... reminds him of that. Of all he is, of all he represents. Of how many are depending on him.

He swings hard, right, then left.

"You first."

HOPE
LOVE

Well, he wasn't expecting punches that hard. The last time he remembered taking a punch from Jonathan, they were feeble attempts to pull his attention away from others. These had power behind them he didn't remember.

"Well, well, sonny-boy, look like you are a little better than last time. Still, you're mixed blood has nothing on me. I'm the Man of Tomorrow. You're a pale imitation"

The punches were returned in force, combined with a blast of freeze breath.

As he's aged, he's found the mixed blood matters less and less. Its been shown in experiments that Kryptonian DNA is powerful stuff... but he's not his father. He's not fully grown, and even if he was, he doesn't have the decades of experience. Both matter.

His head whips around with the force of the returned punches, and then the next batters him through a wall. The follow up draws blood, then through another wall - of Asgardian construction and everything.

He's pushing back to his feet unevenly when the freeze breath sets him up. He should have seen it coming.

Right now, he's mostly just seeing stars.

	With the set up, here comes the knock out. Superman lines the shot up to hit as hard as he can. This is the kind of punch he has only done twice, and those were against General Zod and Darkseid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jon frees himself from the ice just enough to try and roll with the punch.

Its not enough. Its not nearly enough.

He goes though a wall, then another, and then a third, before skidding along the floor of a large hall, leaving a deep divot in the ground. He groans, still moving, but otherwise shows little sign of animation, as he lies a few feet away from Svalin, Vernique and Ragnfrior, the way to them clear to the black lantern.

"Pathetic. I expected so much from you, but in the end you-"

Superman had followed his son into the room and low and behold there is the whore, some other random girl and something that doesn't matter.

"Ahhhh, so you're the young lady that my son cared so much about. You're even delivering my grandchild."

The sarcasm is positively dripping as he smiles, the skin around his face pulled tight into a mockery of a smile.

That the zombie was Jon's dad wasn't surprising in and of itself; Vernique remembered taht he'd been dead when they visited, and the resemblance was clear.

That he was there was a surprise, but like hell was he getting near her spouse and baby. Vernique was still shrunk down enough to be fast, but big enough to carry the magic shield, and she moved to slam it right into the bastard.

	"JON!" Svalin yelled as a strong contraction hit. It /hurt/. She tossed Vigfrior to him. He could fight where she couldn't. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jon hears her voice.

Jon hears her voice.

LOVE

He opens his eyes, to see the sword coming his way.

HOPE

He was Superman for a time. Here, with his dad dead. He is again. There's worlds, whole worlds, to save.

And be assured... he will save them, no matter the cost.

WILL

He moves in a blur, putting aside pain and shock to grab the sword, putting everything he has into swinging the magic sword at his father's neck.

Superman was about to make another quip prior to ripping the womans head off when the shield knocked him back. It takes a lot for that to happen, unless there's magic involved...

His reactions are good enough to keep his whole head form being lopped off, but much of the front part of the neck is now cut loose and as is instinct Superman is now reaching for his throat.

Its been said that the world needs a Superman. At least his world does.

And his dad isn't it anymore.

He can hear his mother's words, as she pinned on the cape... "You're Superman now."

This thing in front of him... isn't his father. Isn't Superman. Just a mockery.

If the world is to be saved, he has to do what must be done. With all his strength, Jon swings Vigfrior at the black lantern's neck one more time...

before collapsing forward, no longer possessedof the strength to keep his feet.

	having fallen down a bit herself when she collided with the zombie, only unhurt because of the shield, Vernique scrambles over to Jon as he collapses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin wanted to rush over to Jon's side, but the pain was too great to move. She stumbled back and used the wall for support. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Superman, the hero of another world, is a being of many strengths and few weaknesses, but in the end his body is just as vulnerable to magic as any other beings. The head comes clean off, but the swing also comes into contact with the black ring on his finger. \|\|Connection Severed\|\| (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When she sees Svalin falter, and the other two hurt and distracted, Alfrun/Ragnfrior seizes here chance. She casts a simple charm to try and make herself seem even more reasonable, and moves to Svalin's side. "Milady, we musn't expose the baby to this, and you must rest. Please, come with me to safety."

	shield_maiden 2011-09-21 12:59 am UTC (link)
	The pain was easing and Svalin had a moment to think. She looked at Jon, the body of his father and at her wife. Then she looked at the hole in the wall. "Aye. It ist not safe here. We must go." Svalin wanted to go to her wife and help her with Jon, but in a few minutes she would be of no help. "Help them," she commanded Ragnfrior. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon isn't moving, aside from a slight movement of his chest. Alive, but too badly injured to return to the fight, or even walk just now, with them or otherwise. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ragnfrior curses inwardly, but keeps up her sweet demeanor. "I will carry him if that's what it takes, milady, but we must away. The healers are busy at the front. He is moving and breathing... far better than many of our own warriors. Please, come away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-09-21 03:22 am UTC (link)
	Svalin's face darkened a bit. Another contraction was starting and it was hard to keep a civil tongue with the pain and the situation. Her heart was in her throat because of Jon. "Then carry him and we wilt go. We shall seek safety in Lord Odin's hall." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-09-21 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Vernique sees. "Breathe, hon." She slings the shield back onto her back and helps pick Jon up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
