Crisis on Infinite Earths

Chapter 11 - End of the world

It was like World War III has started inside that huge room. Attacks coming from everywhere, some bruised, a few deeply hurt, many tired. The Anti-Monitor was taking some serious hits as well, but it looked like it wasn't affecting him the way the others were affected. The most powerful heroes united to attack at the same time, but it also did nothing and frustrations were taking over half of them.

- It's impossible to do anything to this monster! – Oliver said as he tried to back up his friends.

- The machine is the answer... I can feel it! – Cisco said in the middle of the fight.

- Someone needs to hold him while the rest of us destroy the machine! It's the only way! – The older Superman whispered to Oliver and flew towards the Anti-Monitor.

He managed to grab him by the neck and throw him at the other side of the wall. He nodded to the others to attack the machine while he attacked the huge villain.

- You'll go to get yourself killed, you can't do this alone! – Kara said, trying to help him.

- Go! Destroy the machine, I can handle him!

- You're not alone! – Kara's cousin said as he flew by his side.

- I'm here too! – The other Clark came flying and the three of them tried to hold Anti-Monitor. – Go Kara!

Kara flew towards the machine and around it, trying to see a better way to attack it. She smiled noticing something and turned to the others.

- Guys, I found it! Follow me!

Raven, Flash, Atom, J'onn, Dreamer, Brainy, Seg, Connor, Nyssa, Black Lightning and Starfire gathered around Kara, those who could fly right by her side and the others in the first level of the huge machine. Those with no super powers backed them up in any case more shadows appeared.

Kara pointed towards her and everyone focused on attacking that exact spot of the machine, making it start trembling.

- I think its working, keep going...

A huge blast of white light hit all of them, making them fall to the ground. Kara, J'onn, Dreamer, Connor, Brainy, Seg, Nyssa, Raven and Starfire flew right back just to be hit again.

- What's going on? – Starfire yelled.

- He's fighting us! – Raven said as she looked at the Anti-monitor.

Kara turned to look and saw the huge monster trying to choke the older Superman while the other two were on the ground, trying to get up.

- He's going to kill them! – Kara looked at Nyssa and Seg, desperately.

- Kara, keep going! – She heard her cousin whispering and struggled, not knowing what to do.

- Kara, dear. We need to destroy this machine. – Nyssa said as she reached for Kara's shoulder.

- This might be the one thing that weakens him... - Seg said looking worried at his grand-daughter.

Kara took a deep breath and looked at all Supermans fighting Anti-Monitor. Her family was right, she needed to do it. She knew it was their only chance to win this and stop a bigger disaster from happening.

- I need to do this. – She looked at the others, asking for them to give her cover.

- Kara, we can help... - Raven said.

- No...It's me... I need to do this. Alone.

She looked at that big machine and remembered all the times she had faced something dangerous in her life and how each time she gained more strength and faith in herself. She remembered when she had to save her sister for the first time, she had no idea if she could pull that off, but she did it. And when she had to stop a ship from flying away, or when she had to defeat the Queen of Daxam... Myriad, all of those challenges she had, she felt it was preparing her for this moment.
