Chapter 1 - Broken world

"Get off me! they'll die, they will all die! Ahhh!" The black-layered walls of metal echoed, their sound reverberating off the walls amplified by a woman yelling. Her arms swung wildly with a strange see-through construct of a spear and shield.

"I said, out of my way!" The woman continued, her body dodging back and forth faster than a human could, her shield held close to her face as a metal-like tendril came from the service robot, gripping on to her leg with another as her spear changed into a curved sword.

The metal of the tendrils glowed red as if hot, her blade cutting clean through the one at her leg, her hands rotating the sword as it turned into a spear again, throwing it as it impaled one of the service bots to the black metal wall. Her body flipping back from a low position, her hand reaching out while in the air as she rotated on the head of another service bot. Her shield turning into a short sword as she stabbed it down its middle, cutting it in half as she landed on the floor.

"ahhhh!" Her body did not slow, the service bot falling behind her as she turned, pulling her spear from the wall only to hear a strange echoing of roars be heard from the doorway.

"More of you, no matter how many he sends.. it won't stop me." Her sweet, yet serious voice rang out once more as she looked at the creatures within the doorway.

Their bodies were covered in armor that seemed to be fused to their skin, their eyes red like glowing goggles as their sharp teeth chattered away. Their metal wings carrying a few into the air as they pointed their plasma rifles at the woman.

"Fucking Parademons, their always annoying." The woman said, her short sword becoming a shield again, her voice filled with annoyance as she sat her spear within the groove-like pocket on the shield.

Her arm pulled back as she threw her spear at great speed, her body moving back slightly as she pushed off the floor, bending it a little while she watched her spear impale one of the Parademons. Her hand already on the shaft of the spear as she pulled, flipping once more as she spun to decapitate another. Her body moving faster than humans or the enhanced Parademons, her weapon changing many times as she killed them without pause. The walls covered in blood and scars as 10s of 100s of Parademons fell within the hall.

"Why are you always so troublesome." Her body slowed, rotating as she looked at the Parademons, only to be assaulted by pain as she was in the middle of her next attack. A deep voice ringing out in her ears for a moment as she felt a shockwave coming from the blow.

The force knocking her down 3 halls before her back bent in the metal, her back arching as she groaned in pain, watching the Parademons be thrown or bowed as they moved out of the way.

Her eyes looked at a large being stepping out of the swarm of parademons, It's eyes deep, glowing in a red light along with its mouth, it's body packed with muscle, every part screaming with power as it's grey skin seemed to be ripped. Scars, along with bone like protrusions covered its forearm and back, it's head bald, with sharpe teeth, it's nose flat and eye sockets concave. It's height of 9 feet towered over the Parademons, while its black metal-like loincloth covered its crotch.

"Doomsday.. uhh!" The woman said, pulling her body from the wall, watching the being dent the floor as he moved towards her, her body ready as she pushed his fist away. Only for her arm that wanted to bash his chest, to be pushed away as a foot smashed her into the floor.

"And you are still the same even after so long, Thena." Doomsday stood over her, his foot pressing harder as she changed her spear into a short sword, trying to stab the leg as her hand was grabbed, her body lifted as she was slammed into the floor once more.

"Uh, it's because of you. Stop speaking as if you know anything about me. You know nothing about us, about this world you condemned to die!" Thena struggled using her short sword to lift her face from the floor, yelling at the being as he looked down at her, watching her change her shield into a knife as she stabbed him within the hand that held her down.

"It is you who knows nothing Thena, nothing or anything but what you are told." Doomsday ignored the wound, gripping her midsection as he pulled her, throwing her body over a great distance as service bots wrapped her legs and arms.

"No matter the lifetime your the same, your all the same. Thinking your doing what's best, but you struggle having no idea, why Thena? When your just like me." Doomsday continued, rubbing her face gently as he watched her struggle in her bindings.

"We are nothing like you.. A conqueror who kills worlds without reason. No matter how your mind works you are nothing but a monster." Thena spat out these words, turning her head away as her eyes glowed from his touch.

"You have no idea, but maybe it's better if I just show you." Doomsday said slowly, moving his hand away as he waved his hand for the service bots to follow.

Doomsday pushed the Parademons who tried to touch, and screeched at Thena. Smashing it into the wall as she looked at its mess of a body fall to the floor. Her eyes glowed but turned her face away as she looked at Doomsdays back, her hands slowly moving out of one of the tendrils little by little.

"And here you say you are like us, not even caring about the creatures that follow you." Thena said, struggling lightly as she was pulled along, her eyes dismissing Doomsday as she tried to think of a way out.

"Why let another creature touch what is yo.. nevermind." Doomsday spoke lowly, his words somewhat distant as he cut off his own train of thought. The Parademons around the two dispersed into the ship as the light of fire could be seen slowly reflecting into Thena's eyes.

"No! No! what have you done!" Thena yelled, her eyes watching the crescent in the fiery red from the open overlook at the center of the ship, her arms struggling as she freed one enough, cutting the tendril of the service bot as it let go. Her hand spinning the knife as it was thrown at Doomsday, turning into a spear as he flicked it away.

"You can do nothing.." Doomsday said, his body moving at great speed as he closed the distance, her hands rotating her shield as she pulled it apart into twin swords. "You want to save them? the very ones you led to this." Doomsday continued, ignoring her small cuts as he smashed his shoulder into her. Her body was going to be launched but was grabbed by the foot, slamming her into the floor once more.

"This world, those people, how was it us, the ones sent to protect them from Deviants. How could we do this, but you brought an army, killed their people, my family! Ah!" Thena yelled in frustration, kicking Doomsday in the stomach as he was sent back a little, her shoulder moving towards him as he smacked her away.

"I had no idea this planet was a seed, or that I'd find you here. Do you think your really here to protect them? You are only here so that the process goes more smoothly." Doomsday said as he leaped, his foot coming down as she rolled away. "Have you never found it strange that you can't remember, or why you went berserk. Why you were told never to get attached to them." he continued as he watched her make constructs, his body moving side to side as he caught her spear, kicking her in the stomach.

"Shut up! They age and die, getting attached would only hurt the world, and I remember.. I remember our home, that is enough." Thena roared, her spear digging a long cut into the floor as she stopped herself. Pushing off the ground as she threw her shield up, throwing her spear at it as she shoulder charged Doomsday. The spear ricocheting off the shield as she pushed him enough, his head turned as the spear impaled the floor.

"Your getting better Thena." Doomsday tilted his head up, a scar made on his cheek as he grabbed the spear, pulling her arm to him as he impaled her shoulder to the floor. His foot kicking her into the ground as the spear disappeared.

"Why do you hear screams echo within your mind, why can you feel things you've never experienced? Have you questioned anything?" Doomsday said, pulling the back of her head, and dragging her to the center of the ship.

"You know nothing!" Thena yelled and made a short sword, trying to stab through herself to reach him. Only for a hand to grip the sword before it could cut through her body.

"No, it is you who knows nothing, but you will." Dooms spoke, his hands to his forearms now blackened, his skin pale, his muscles packed but no longer bursting. His eyes glowing with a serious light, his clothes still the same, yet red hair fell around his face. While the rest of his overly long braided hair fell to his stomach.

"You think you are different, that you lead these worlds to peace, That you do this so the world can, grow, but you never questioned why, why does your god care about them in the first place. In all his power, why does he care about this planet." Doomsday said, pulling her to look at the world below, the planet's body cracking, sending up massive firey rocks that smashed into the land around the world.

"We are two sides of the same coin." Doomsday went on, his eyes watching Thena lose strength, looking at the giant hand and head now forcing itself out of the planet.

"But unlike you and your family, I do not pretend.." Doomsday finished, leaning up as he looked at the celestial about to be born from this world.

"No.. What.. what does this mean." Thena's body leaned back on her knees, her arms powerless as Doomsday let her go, her body falling forward as she became weak, tears falling from her eyes as screams echoed within her mind.

"No!!" Her scream seemed to echo across the world as she laid on the floor, her eyes unblinking and blurry as she watched the destruction of this once-beautiful world.
