DC Re-Created: Doomsday #1

The soldier coughed up the dust that filled his lungs and mouth. He tried to sit himself up, to get back on his feet but he immediately fell again. He couldn't see, at least not very well. Everything was fuzzy and there was a slight ringing in his ears. The soldiers muscles ached, some limbs even felt broken. With a last failed effort to stand, the soldier surrendered to defeat. He lay on his back, his sight slowly returning to him. He remembered the grenade going off. It was only a couple feet from him, it was a miracle he survived. At least his breathing was back to normal. The soldier then stopped and went through his protocol checklist. Name, Eres Von-Ur. Rank, Second Captain of the third Kryptonian Regiment. Mission, break through eastern resistance to secure communication beacons. Eres felt out with his right hand to find his rifle. Still intact, that was good. He took a deep breath and forced himself up, at first just to a sitting position but then to his feet.

The Captains vision had fully recovered now. He took in the sights, or the carnage around him. He was the only one standing, surrounded by corpses. Trees had been torn to shreds, dirt up-heaved. Blast marks everywhere, in corpses, the ground. Eres checked his armor over. It was in need of replacement, the breastplate was cracked open on the left side. Left shoulder pad was gone. His right boot was missing its shin guard. His helmet, well it was crushed in completely. God thing it had come off beforehand. The Captain raised his Kryptonian issued rifle and let off two shots, just to check the working order. All seemed fine with its operation. He scavenged extra grenades and ammunition from his fallen comrades. Satisfied with what he had given the situation he set off.

The Captain new he had to regroup, had to find a nearby unit to contact. Someone had to have survived the battle. His eyes darkened, Lanterns He thought. He hated them, all of them. The Green Lantern Corp. Thats who they were at war with. Eres never understood what caused it, or why they were fighting at all. It was not his job to know or care, just to fight when he was called to. He never wondered why the Kryptonian Army was called to Xudar. The war made its way here, thats all the reason he needed. The natives of Xudar were a peaceful people, mostly scientific. They had never caused Krypton any trouble before. But then they had to go and side with the Lanterns. It was betrayal. Xudar and Krypton were virtually neighbors, Same sector of space in the Andromeda Galaxy. It was men like Eres's job to put them in line. To show them the price of joining the wrong side. He himself had killed hundreds of them during his time here, men and woman, even children. There was to be no mercy. That was an order directly from Grand Admiral Zod.

Eres shook those thoughts from his mind as he trudged on. His feet slopping through the blood stained mud. There were corpses everywhere, this planet was becoming a graveyard. Eres heard a buzzing noise on his right flank and immediately dropped to a knee. He surveyed the area, not taking long to find the sounds origin and also his hope. The sound was coming from a Viewing probe. A flying camera that watched all the battles and fed them to HQ. Eres stood and waved his hands in the air, shouting as loud as he could. Until at last the probe noticed him, or rather those controlling it. It glided over to him and hovered just feet in front of the Captain.

Second Captain of the Third Kryptonian Regiment, Eres Von-Ur reporting. My men are gone, seemingly making me the only survivor. I'm...I'm not sure what happened. I need escort to the nearest unit. I'm in fighting shape, no major wounds to report. I can still be of service.”

On the other side of the camera stood Admiral Zod and his advisers. Zod was a bulky man, all muscle standing six feet. He had a scared face, war scars he was proud of. Half of his head could no longer grow hair because of a chemical bomb he survived years ago. So as to keep appearances, he kept the other half shaved off. He was the Head of House Ur after all. The strongest of the military Houses. This Captain seemed to be of his own House and as such should be the best of the best. The Admiral gave the captain respect for surviving this far, but allowing his whole regiment to be killed was not acceptable. Admiral Zod turned from the screens to face his advisers. They all varied from different houses of the Military Guild, but all answered to him in times of war. Then there was one whom was out of place. The scientist Bertron. He was an alien species, not of Krypton but yet still lived there and served it. He had been a great help to the war effort, with his....Creations. Bertron had been charged with creating a weapon that could be used to end this war. Instead, he created five. WorldKillers he called them, and killers they were.

Today Bertron had arrived on Xudar to report he had created a sixth. While the previous five were greatly helping the war effort, Zod would not refuse another addition. As it were, there was already a “WorldKiller” on Xudar. The one called Reign. Self imposed leader of the group. She was the most humanoid of them all. As well as the most intelligent. Bertron had insured the Admiral that this sixth monster was far superior to the five that predated it. This was the creatures test.

Eres stared into the camera on the probe. Still waiting for an answer of some kind. The hot muggy air of the planet was causing him a lot of discomfort. It was hard to breath, to think, to focus. Moments later his heard a branch snap and he immediately jerked his attention to his left. His weapon raised, eyes darting in all directions. From around a dirt mound came a figure. It was definitely not native. More shocking than that, it was a woman. A very paled skinned and attractive looking woman. In any other circumstance, the Captain would have invited her to bed. She wore tight combat pants with boots to match. But for a top it was barely enough to cover herself. He flushed at the sight of cleavage. The womans right arm was covered in armor, but that was it, just the one arm. She had a white cape that trailed behind her and dark scarlet hair that was braided down to her waist. At first the Captain was enthralled by the sight, but was then cautious. This could very well be an enemy.

The woman continued towards him, her cold stare piercing him. It made him feel fear, an emotion he was trained to never have. He could feel his muscles tightening, freezing up on him. He then noticed that on the womans hip, hung a Kryptionian sword. At the sight he eased up, relaxing if only just a little.

I..Uhh.. I'm Second Captain Ere--”

The Captain never got the chance to finish. In the blink of an eye, the strange woman was behind him. Her right arm stretched out, sword in hand. Blood was dripping from its blade. Seconds later, Captain Eres slid in half. At this the Admiral couldn't help but give a small laugh. Reign was a cold woman. Zod heard what sounded like footsteps through the camera and ordered its controller to follow its origin. The probe spun and faced a group of Xudarians. They were ready for battle, each instantly opened fire on Reign. The bolts of fire that reached her, did nothing to her skin. She gave an evil laugh as she darted forward. These men were all that was left of a village to the north. Reign had slaughtered the entirety of it. Or so she had thought. She met their rapid firing head on. Charging into the crowd she killed three before any could react. The others tried to fan out but there was no hope left. Once a WorldKiller saw you, that was your end. In less than thirty seconds the rabble was dead. Fifteen in all. Some where sliced in pieces, others spines were ripped out. Reign hated these fights though, they were but a fraction of her capability. A very small fraction. Her hands were blood soaked, and she had splatter all over her lower half.

Reign brought her blood stained fingers to her mouth and drank in the taste of her victory. She had a wicked grin on her face, her eyes beaming. The real fight was coming. She could sense His presence. She laughed aloud and then shouted at the top of her lungs “COME OUT COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU AREEEEEEEE” It only took but a few moments for the response she wanted. The beings she was born to hate, born to rip apart. She could smell him coming. That's all she needed. Seconds later He dropped to his feet a hundred feet in front of her. The Green Lantern Galte-Re.

Galte-Re was a native to Xudar, and so took this massacre the hardest. His pain was her pleasure. The Lantern looked determined, on the borderline of rage. The fine atop his head was shaking and his eyes narrow. “You are the monster for the slaughter of the fishing town?” The Lantern asked shaking. At this the WorldKiller laughed and gave him a loud yes. The Lantern instantly was surrounded by his green aura, not a second later was Reign off of her feet. She slammed in to a cliffside, the earth above her falling to cover her whole. She had been hit by a construct she new was coming but was not quick enough to prepare for.

Admiral Zod turned to Bertron, the alien formed a small grin. “Bertron, I think it is time. Lets not let Reign have all of the fun.” Zod mused. He raised his right arm in front of himself. His wrist comlink came to life, as holograms now surrounded the whole of his forearm. He typed in a series of codes and looked back to Bertron. “The security has been taken down. When you're ready... Release number Six. Release Doomsday.”

@orician_seis: This was very interesting. I'm not a Superman-related characters kind of guy, but this started off great. There were a few typos, but it's nothing an online spell checker would notice. I advice you to read through it an extra time just to be sure.

Very nice! It's cool seeing Zod as well as Bertron. Can't wait to see them unleash Doomsday next week.
