7.22 Eclipse by MR & TW (Part IV)

TW: So now Clark kicks Darkseid's ass and opens the PZ portal.
MR: There's no kicking of ass. It's like a even fight.
TW: Sure there's ass kicking.
MR: Clark beats Darkseid with everything he's got and Darkseid mostly just takes it. Every once is awhile Darkseid takes a swing. Mostly he misses but when he hits Clark gets launched into the side of a building. Clark is a lot faster but when he hits Darkseid it doesn't seem to phase him.
KK: I hope the fight lasts longer than you took to describe it.
MR: Oh, yes, unbelievable carnage. We have it completely mapped out.
TW: Or whatever the budget can handle.
AM: So, like a completely lame let down, probably less than a minute.
MR: We can do better than that.
TW: If the budget allows.
MR: Screw the budget!
TW: Then can we take the FX out of your pay check?
MR: Eh, my check? [To AM] It'll probably be a completely lame let down.
TW: Anyway, even with the focused sunlight he's obviously out classed by Darkseid but Clark goes at him with so much gusto he's somehow able to get Darkseid to fall to his knees.
MR: Darkseid smiles through it all, even as Clark winds up for the knockout punch.

TW: Cut to the fortress. The black crystal Lionel left shimmers and one by one the other crystals near it turn completely black.
MR: Martha looks horrified but no amount of diddling with the dildos helps.
TW: Diddling?
AoT: Isn't that what you do with dildos?
TW: I don't think I want to know.

MR: Enough of Martha's diddling back to Clark and Darkseid.
TW: Can we not use the word diddling, please. Clark stops his wind up as the lights go completely out and looks over head. Darkseid laughs.
TW: More determined than ever Clark winds up again for that final punch.
MR: But Darkseid calmly reaches out and catches Clarks' fist with his hand. With his opposing arm he punches Clark in the face sending him crashing through a nearby wall. Darkseid stands back up, "Your the treachery against your adopted homeworld is almost.. admirable."
TW: Clark gets a crazed look in his eyes as he hits at Darkseid completely ineffectually. "I'm protecting them.... from you!"
MR: With an evil chuckle big D just smiles, seemingly completely unaffected by Clark's onslaught. "Protect them? How endearingly naive. Kal-El, you have doomed them."

TW: Back at the roof of the DP.
ED: Lois barks at the Bittleman, "What the hell's happening?"
MR: "I don't know. It's completely dark. The camera can't pick up a thing."
ED: Lois looks down in defeat. After a beat pull back to show her hand on the military goggles from the helicopter. She gets that "I have an idea" look.
KK: That's novel. Have you ever had to do that look before, Erica.
ED: Shut up.
JG: You might need to practice that since Lois so rarely gets an idea.
ED: I said shut up!

MR: "Did you really believe I didn't know what you had planed, Kal-El, down to the smallest detail?"
TW: Quick cut to Chloe looking worried. Then back to Clark as he tries to punch the big D again.
MR: But this time Darkseid catches his fist with ease again. "You're pathetic." He throws Clark against a building and then struts over to Clark as he lays in the rubble, "Did you really think you could beat me? That you even had a chance?"
TW: Clark struggles to reach his PZ bracelet, "I will beat you." And he flings the bracelet toward his adversary.
MR: It opens and sucks lots of debris inside but the big D doesn't even budge.
TW: Focus back on Clark, suddenly worried that the portal isn't going to work after all.
KK: Imagine that. Clark Kent has a plan that falls through.
TW: Hush.
MR: "How quaint." Darkseid's Omega beam shoots out of his eyes and disintegrates the portal. "This planet you so love will pay the price of your hubris."
TW: Quick cut to Clark. Gulp.

MR: Then back to the planet roof. Lois looking into the camera.
ED: "The is Lois Lane reporting from the roof of the Daily Planet as the hand over of Kal-El has apparently gone horribly wrong."
AM: Not much unlike the show itself.
TW: She turns and looks through the binoculars then we switch to monochrome green of night vision goggles of D standing over Clark. MR: Back to Lois as she puts the goggles back down and faces the camera again.
ED: "Darkseid is physically beating Kal-El with such force and brutality our armed forces can only stand by and watch."

TW: Back to Lionel's office. Lionel is watching the video feed with a grimace. The Darkseid lackey grins. John?
JG: "You have what you came for. Take Kal-El and be gone."
TW: "My dear Mr. Luthor, we have no intention of leaving."
JG: Lionel tries to spin, "What interest could you possibly have in this primitive planet? We're of no use to you, now that you have Kal-El."
TW: "On the contrary, Earth man, this planet is invaluable to Lord Darkseid."
JG: "But..."
TW: "Darkseid learned early on though General Zod that torture isn't how to really get to a good Kryptonians. No. The best way to make a Kryptonian suffer is by causing the ones they love most pain. Kal-El loves this planet." The lackey lowers his voice, "Trust me when I say Lord Darkseid intends to see Kal-El suffer."
JG: [Checking the script] Lionel is speechless?
MR: Of course. He's just be out bastardized.
TW: The lackey opens a boom tube and in exchange for his help the lackey offers Lionel safe passage on Darkseid's flagship.
MR: Lionel takes one last look out the window solemnly steps through.
AoT: Ouch.
JG: Don't worry. Lionel will figure out a way to get rid of these pests.
ED: Yeah. Helping them defeat Clark was a great start.
JG: Shut up, Durance.
