The Man

Chapter 37 // The Win

Every single step, perfectly calculated to the second. That's how Kyle left everybody behind, walking towards the throne hall. He opened the doors and looked at Rhea and Lar Gand standing opposite of him. He curtly nodded and said "I assume you are ready Lar Gand?" Lar Gand nodded and with that Kyle said "The rules are simple, don't kill." Lar Gand nodded again and motioned for Kyle to walk to the teleportation device so he did. He immediately got teleported to some sort of meadow. Above him was a part of the Daxamite fleet as the waited for Lar Gand to come.

Lar Gand appeared in front of him, still a sad expression on his face. Kyle had the same look- he wanted to like Lar Gand. But he couldn't. "You can still turn back, son."

Kyle slowly shook his head and said "I'm sorry Lar Gand, but I can't. Daxam needs something better than this. We can't live like this anymore." Lar Gand nodded, it was like he understood.

Suddenly the man yelled "I FORFEIT!" Kyle looked at him confused but saw pride in the man's eyes. Kyle hesitantly walked towards the man, who was now kneeling on the ground, and squatted in front of him "Are you sure Lar Gand?"

"If that's what it takes to be seen as a father to you- then yes."

"Okay," With that Kyle pulled him into a hug "I-I must say, I didn't expect that."

Lar Gand chuckled and said "Nobody did, son. Nobody did."

Kyle just hugged him tighter and when Lar Gand moved away from him and presented a ring Kyle took it and placed it on his finger. He was the king of the Daxamites... and he had a lot to do...

But first he stood up and got beamed back to the ship. He looked at Rhea, completely ignoring the people that were bowing for him, and said "Since I am going to call Lar Gand father again, since he wanted it. You probably want to be called mother?" Rhea nodded, tears in her eyes. So Kyle walked up to her and pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry you aren't Queen anymore. But remember that I still need your help with the tasks I may get." Rhea nodded and with that Kyle pulled back. 

To no one in particular he said "I'm going to my fiancee, make sure she knows I'm alive." With that Kyle walked to his room, he opened the door and was greeted by somebody kissing him roughly. He chuckled but reciprocated it.

He knew Alex and Winn where still there so after some time he pulled away and saw Alex making a weird face. He stuck his tongue out to her and said "Don't you peasants, bow down before a King?"

"So, we really saw him forfeiting?" Alex said and Kyle nodded "Wow- I- Wow, my little brother is a king. That's- wow."

Kyle chuckled "I do have some things to do, and I need advice for that, because what the hell am I going to do."

He felt arms around him, Lena, and with that they started to talk about what the hell they should do.

~~~~~~~~~

They came with a conclusion, Kyle was sitting on his throne, waiting for the military strategists. The room suddenly flooded with many of them, they bowed in sync and waited to be addressed. Kyle stood up and said "Good day fellow Daxamites. The next couple of months are going to be hard for us. But I suspect you all are perfect for the job," Kyle looked at Lena who curtly nodded "We know we can't conquer Earth, not because it isn't possible. But because I have a weak spot for them. For all the humans there are,"

Kyle sighed and looked at the crowd again "We are going to do a quite difficult task, but we need to. We want Daxam to be great again, for it to rise from the ashes. And we will do that. But until then we need to find an uninhibited planet we can live on. So all of the Daxamites, whoever you are," He knew this was live broadcasted, to all of Earth and the Daxamite fleet. "I want you to search a new planet for us. One were we can live, breath and become what we are supposed to be. The greatest kind in the universe,"

Kyle looked around the people and said "But until then we will live in peace. Only this ship will be there so we will be the rendezvous point. I must go into deliberation with the President of the United States if we can have our ships come to here. So you will hear from us. I wish you all the best of luck and I will expect nothing but the best from you." With that he sat down in his throne again and waited for everybody to leave the throne room.

It took some time, but when everybody was finally gone he stood up and walked towards Lena. He pulled her in for a kiss and when they parted, he rested his head against her and said "You know I love you, right?" 

Lena chuckled and nodded. They had won the battle. Kyle knew there was much to come, but him- being king and all would make everything difficult but- they, the superfriends, could overcome it all. So, when Kyle hugged Alex, Winn and later Mon-El everything was good. He knew he could lean on them if needed. And- they would do it all. They would win.
