ENDING (Arcade Mode):

Image show's Luther standing in Brainiac's ship over a a defeated and trashed Brainiac.

After I had killed Cain I thought I could live out my days in peace with Petra by my side. We managed to do this through Superman's regime even though Petra wanted to go out and do something about it, but a alien spaceship assaulting every major city on the planet targeting everyone civilians included. Yeah that managed to convince me to get up and do something.

Image now show's Luther looking behind him to see Superman floating there with glowing red eyes.

When I defeated Brainiac Superman approached me thanking me for the help but reminding me I was still a criminal for what Jack had done. I tried to explain to him I just wanted to live in peace with Petra away from the world but he wouldn't listen saying I'd be the first "arrest" of the regime reborn, after how the last regime went I knew what I had to do.

Image now show's Luther trading blow's with Superman with the ship around them collapsing with a green gas seeping in.

It was probably the hardest fight I ever had in my life but I wasn't just fighting for myself I knew once he had me he'd get Petra and I couldn't have that. It might have been the adrenaline or maybe something in the ship itself but I could see he was frustrated when his first punch didn't make me fall over dead. I few times I sure I wouldn't get back up but I still did despite his threats and warnings.

Image now show's Luther uppercutting Superman his face twisted in pain.

Despite being stronger and faster some trapper said way back when stuck with me, and that while he was stronger and faster he was predictable making it easy to keep fighting Superman till he just couldn't get back up.

Image show's Superman on his knees the Skull Ship falling apart around him with Luther leaving through a door behind him a bat shaped shadow slowly moving onto Superman.

Eventually I managed to wear Superman out to the point I could get out of there and leave him behind to either die or think about what'll happen if he ever comes for me or Petra. I found out later it wasn't just me and him in there and someone had released Kryptonite gas in there letting me beat Superman as quickly as I did.

Image show's Luther with Petra in the woods a smile on both of their faces.

But more importantly Superman was put back behind bars and the planet was safe and so was Petra. I don't really care who knows that it was me or who doesn't as long as they don't come looking for us I'm happy.
