3rd Person.

A huge roar rang out through the Watchtower; pain and fire soon followed. The Justice Lords had taken cover behind whatever they could find to avoid the burn of the Ghost Rider's Hellfire Dragon. The mighty beast shot a wide stream at the Man of Steel, in an attempt to force the tyrant to surrender. Green Lantern was able to intercept the stream of fire with a shield, but the energy shield soon shattered from the power behind it. Hawkgirl tried attacking from behind but the Rider predicted this and swung a chain out to intercept the Thanagarian. The chain knocked her into a Javelin that was also in the hangar. The battle was actually having a huge toll on the station; floors torn up, walls broken down, the occasional groan as the Dragon took a step.

"Enough!" stated Superman, flying straight towards the dragon and tackling it through the hangar doors and began planet fall towards Earth. Superman continued to fly down to Earth, the Ghost Rider's Dragon roared in protest and used it's tail to knock Superman off. Once in the atmosphere, the Rider whipped the reins, causing the Dragon to right itself in the air. Looking around in the night sky, the Rider searched around for the Justice Lord. The Rider then sensed the presence of another evil, not far from where he and Superman made reentry. Using the ability to see what was wrong, the Rider saw quite possibly his toughest bounty yet. I Metropolis, the one being who has gone toe-to-toe with Superman and gave him more than enough injuries to prove that.

"DOOMSDAY." snarled the Rider as he saw that Doomsday was destroying the city in order to flush out his rival. The Rider decided to deal with Lords later, as Doomsday had much more blood on his hands. With a crack of the reins, the Dragon and darted off to go confront the alien behemoth. Flying towards Metropolis, the Rider saw that Doomsday had indeed been busy, destroying a lot of the Metropolis district. A few buildings were demolished and a trail of destruction was seen as the Rider closed in on Doomsday. Deciding to give a warning to the monster, the Ghost Rider nudged the Dragon a little, sending an invisible message as to give a loud warning roar. The Dragon complied and let out a huge roar, shattering several buildings windows in the process.

Lois Lane's POV

"Camera on the action Jimmy." I told my photographer. while watching from a safe distance. Jimmy nodded and continued to take pictures of Doomsday, who was currently destroying the street in a fit of rage. I took cover as a piece of debris flew near me. Looking back over, I saw that Doomsday roared into the sky and slammed both fists into the ground.

"Where are you, Superman?! Come and face your doom!"roared Doomsday while looking at the sky. That's when we heard a huge roar erupt from nowhere. I shielded my ears as the roar was deafening. I looked up to see an amber light getting closer to us. I squinted as to what I was looking at. From the light shot a stream of fire that slammed into Doomsday, sending him flying overhead and into a nearby building. Looking back, I saw the light was actually a dragon, hovering down to the ground. Once it landed, the street actually began to melt slightly. The Dragon did not appear to be the regular scales and flesh but more metallic and machine-like. Looking up behind the head. I saw a figure stand up, then jump off the Dragon and land on the ground. I widened my eyes as I have heard about this character.

"Are you getting this Jimmy?" I asked Jimmy while not turning around.

"I'm not sure what I'm getting." replied Jimmy as he showed me his digital camera, the image all fuzzy and blurred. I looked over to see the infamous Ghost Rider of Detroit standing in the street. Head cocked to the side. He then jerked it to the right, a soft whisper followed. He then placed his right hand over his nonexistent heart and raised his left hand to the sky, looking up like he was looking a heaven. A loud snarl drew the Rider out of his moment. Looking over to see Doomsday charging out of the building right at the Rider. The ride whipped out a chain hook and swung it at Doomsday, the chain wrapped around Doomsday's body and the Rider yanked as hard as he could pulling him into the air. Following the momentum, the Rider swung Doomsday around till he was swinging the monster around in a circle. Giving a sharp yank, the Rider swung Doomsday into a few buildings, sending him through each one. His chain unwrapped itself and slithered back to the Rider. Doomsday erupted from the rubble and roared at the Rider.

"You are not Superman, but you are standing in my to him. I will destroy you!" declared Doomsday as he charged again, this time a red laser struck Doomsday. looking up to the source, I saw Superman and the Justice League had shown up to help beat Doomsday. What stood out though was that Superman and the others were wearing different costumes than normal.

"That's enough out of you." ordered Superman as he descended to the ground. The Rider snarled at Superman and the League. I Rider then whistled, the Dragon roared and suddenly dove at Superman. The Dragon caught Superman in its jaws and slammed him into the ground. The rest of the League began to attack the Dragon. The Rider turned it's attention back to Doomsday.

"YOU: GUILTY." ordered The Ghost Rider as he looked at Doomsday. Doomsday merely snorted, not in the least intimidated. The Rider then snarled in response and charged at Doomsday; Doomsday followed suit. The Rider whipped its chain out and caught Doomsday around his neck. Doomsday tried to break it off, but the chain caught fire and forced Doomsday to let go. The Rider approached Doomsday, who was impossibly kneeling as he had given up trying to break the chain. I'm not sure how but I think the fire is draining his strength.

"DOOMSDAY, YOU ARE GUILTY OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE HOMES OF THE INNOCENT, THOSE YOU HAVE KILLED WHILE TRYING TO KILL SUPERMAN AND MORE CRIMES. REPENT YOUR SINS." ordered the Rider as he looked up at Doomsday.

"I don't care, I live to kill Superman, and nothing will stand in my way." retorted Doomsday, still taller than the Rider as he looked down at the demon.

"THEN BURN!" roared the Rider, the fire on the chain turning purple and a column of fire shot up from underneath Doomsday. Doomsday roared in pain as it endured the pain of the Rider's fire. I watched at the sheer brutality of the action, Doomsday in pain and the Rider doing the deed. Jimmy also had the same expression as I did when I turned to look at him to make sure he was alright. Soon the fire died down and a column of smoke was seen. The Rider, however, was not convinced that Doomsday was down for the count. A few seconds later, the smoke cleared and Doomsday was seen kneeling exactly where he was, but his face betrayed he was in a tremendous amount of pain. The Rider walked over to Doomsday and merely pushed him over and onto his back. Doomsday just laid there, not moving, the rise and fall of his chest betraying that he was still alive. The Rider unwrapped his chain and slipped it up his sleeve. Turning around to face the League, the Rider brought up his middle finger and thumb and whistled. The Dragon stopped attacking and released Superman that was previously trapped in its jaws.

"I'll give you a chance to surrender peacefully." stated Superman as he and the league got ready for the Rider's response. The Rider's response was to raise its arm to point at the League.

"THIS IS NOT YOUR WORLD, LORDS." declared the Rider, strangely. He shifted his hand and a ring of fire opened in front of him. From the ring came a large scythe that had a skull-like blade and a crooked handle. He swung the scythe around and got into a combat stance. The League followed as well, getting into a combat stance, and the Rider charged right forward. Superman flew forward to intercept the demon. The Rider jumped into the air and brought down the opposite end of his scythe, landing a hard hit to Superman's head. Wonder Woman flew around to flank the Rider with Hawkgirl. But the Rider swung out a chain and caught both women in the chain and swung them into Green Lantern. Superman had gotten up from the ground and engaged The Rider in hand-to-hand. The Rider was clearly more experienced and faster than Superman as he landed several hard blows to Superman before performing a hard front kick to his chest. Martian Manhunter had shapeshifted into a large snake and attempted to constrict the Rider, but that did not end well as the Rider merely increased his heat so that the Martian was forced to let go.

The Rider was the hit in the back by a large beam of energy from Green Lantern. I could barely see that Rider standing up to face Green Lantern. The Rider then shot a stream of fire from his mouth to counter the beam from Green Lantern. Both streams continued on for a while till the Rider swung both beams into the side of an abandoned building. With the street full of smoke, I decided to move around for a better angle. Jake following behind. We stopped by an upturned car and watched as the smoke died out. Once it did, I saw the Rider standing unharmed, the Dragon he arrived with stalking over to him. I looked around to see that the League had been seriously injured. Green Lantern had several burns crossing his skin as well as a dozen cuts and bruises. Hawkgirl had her armor broken in several places and her mace had a large chunk taken out of it. Martian Manhunter was sprawled on top of a car and had several burns and a dent in his head. Wonder Woman had her suit ripped but not enough to reveal a whole lot thankfully, she had a cut under and along her cheek and her right leg looked slightly burned. I then saw that Superman was still standing, but just barely. His suit was shredded and had several cuts in his skin. The Rider stood staring at Superman as he huffed from exhaustion.

I had my hands over my mouth as I watched Superman vainly attack The Rider. Superman swung a hard right hook and the blow slammed into the Rider's jaw. The Rider pulled back with the blow but did not move so much. When he looked back at Superman, his jaw was hanging lopsided on the right hinge while the left had been dislocated. Superman just looked kind of worriedly as the Rider took his jaw and forced it back into place. A sickening crunch was heard when it was relocated. The Rider then attacked using the Scythe, swinging the blade at Superman and cutting his right leg. Superman yelped in pain as he held his leg to stop whatever bleeding may occur. The Rider then disintegrated his Scythe and grabbed Superman by his suit and threw him against a nearby bus that had been abandoned when Doomsday attacked. Superman was now barely standing as the Rider stalked over to him. Grabbing his suit in his left hand, the Rider began to brutally punch Superman in the head several times, each time making Superman grunt in pain. I knew I couldn't just stand here and do nothing.

"Stop it!" I ran over to try and stop the Rider. But the Rider ignored and continued to beat down Superman.

"Please stop!" I pleaded again, this time getting the Rider's attention. He looked over at me, his amber eyes drilling into me, but he did not continue his assault of Superman, instead he just let go of him, then turned to look at the rising sun, that's when the flames around his head went out. The fires that had been ablaze, suddenly went out as the sunlight was cast upon them. The Rider himself had flesh growing back around his skull and a pair of sunglasses formed over his eyes. I was furious at him as to how he attacked Superman, but when I saw his eyes through his glasses, even with the dark tint to them, I saw lots of pain and remorse for what happened.

"I'm sorry Ms. Lane, for what almost happened." Apologized the Rider as he looked down in shame. The Dragon that he arrived with roared and then melded into a jet plane used by the League. A part of me wanted to slap and scream at him for almost killing someone I love, but the way he apologized was beyond sincere and honest. It was an apology of a person who has done something terrible against his will. Looking over at Superman, the Rider picked him up and slung him over his shoulder.

"I'll get them to the medical ward aboard the Watchtower." With that he walked over to the jet and began to place the League into the aircraft, each one gently carried to safety. Once they were all on board, he came back out to talk to the military that had come to collect Doomsday. I got to him along with Jimmy and decided to get a quick interview.

"Before you say anything, I just want to set one thing straight before you make an article for the Daily Planet; the demon you saw that attacked the League was not me, it was the Ghost Rider, he and I are separate beings." stated the Rider, as he decided to just leave before the military would try to arrest him.

"What happened to cause you to become linked?" I asked before he left. Looking over his shoulder, the Rider answered my question but not the way I thought.

"We do the wrong thing for the right reasons." was all he said as he boarded the jet and the ramp pulled up. The engines of the jet ignited and the vehicle lifted up into the air and soon took off into the air, gaining altitude. I was left standing with Jimmy as we watched the vehicle disappear into the distance.

"What do you think he meant?" asked Jimmy as he looked over at me for a second.

"I think he made a deal for the right reason," I answered Jimmy before leaving to go start my article. A lot has happened and I want to be ready when Clark writes his.

Sean's POV

Ascending into space, I saw that the Lords were holding up pretty well, I was just thankful the sun came back up when it did. If it hadn't, the Rider would have to explain to the world why Superman and the League were killed. I leaned against the controls and sighed deeply as the Javelin pulled up to the Watchtower. I sighed with relief as the emergency bulkheads engaged when the hangar doors broke open. I slowed the Javelin to a stop and pressed the override button in the Javelin to open the bulkhead and let the Javelin. The door opened and a second bulkhead could be seen to act as an airlock. Drifting inside, the first bulkhead shut and allowed the Javelin to enter the controlled environment of the Watchtower. Waiting for the second door to open, I heard a light groan as the Lords were coming around. I pressed a button on the Javelin to make sure they would stay put. When I took control of the aircraft, I made some upgrades to it, like a knockout gas system. I waited for the gas to disperse while I landed the Javelin. When the gas was gone, I walked into the sitting area of the vehicle and picked up Diana bridal style as she could not walk properly. exiting the Javelin, I walked to the center of the hangar before forming a portal to the medical ward. I jumped down through the portal and into the ward. I walked over to the closest bed and placed her down gently. I set up and IV drip and hooked her up to a heart monitor.

15 minutes later...

I just hooked up Superman when I finished with the others. Hawkgirl had been the hardest, having wings and all made it slightly awkward. Once I was done and the Lords were all hooked up to an IV and monitors, I left to go to the command center. If the League had come back by some miracle, then I would hope to God they would come back soon. I sat down at a console and began to run some radio frequencies, anything of serious importance.

"You are by far my most effective Rider Sean." complimented a voice behind me. I narrowed my eyes as I recognized that voice.

"What do you want Mephisto?" I demanded, not even turning to greet my employer. He chuckled softly, his voice mixed with the demon that he is.

"Just stopping by to congratulate your current streak of justice. Is that so wrong?"

"It is when you obviously want something or you have a contract for me to fill. I have no choice to take the contract, so to save time, I'll take it but I'll complete it after the League gets back from whatever dimension they are stuck in."

"Speaking of which-" finished Mephisto as he disappeared, the doors to the command center opened. I stood up to see my teammates back from wherever they went.

"Glad to see you back in one piece." I greeted as I approached them.

"It's good to be back. Where are the Lords?" asked Superman as he looked ready for combat. I walked over to the console I was previously at and pressed a few keys. The main screen flashed and a live feed of the medical ward came up. All the Lords were hooked up to iv drips and monitor systems. To say the League was astonished to see the Lords in the medical ward would be an understatement. I sat down in the chair and swiveled around to face the league.

"Their fault not mine; tried to take me down. Rider wasn't so kind." I clarified. Batman nodded and came over to the console to find out anything more about what happened while they were gone.

"Anything else happen?" asked Green Lantern as he approached the console as well to see his doppelganger on the screen.

"Yeah, Doomsday tried to flush out you Superman, I responded. Also, you may not want the Javelin I borrowed. I can give it back though it would be hazardous to your health." I warned as I pulled up the surveillance of the fight on the Watchtower and me possessing the Javelin.

"So if you don't mind, I am going to get some sleep as I have been awake since six a.m. and it is now five." I yawned and left the command center to go find more room. I had a long day and I desperately need my sleep.
