Mongul's armada also went through the portal and chased down the Justice League members. Hal flicked his ring turning it on. "Hmm…might have been a reception issue," he wondered.

"You asshole, take us to Kansas," Diana ordered.

Hal piloted across the United States to Smallville Kansas. The ship crashed landed not too far from their destination. Hal continued to flick his ring while Diana took Shazam to the cemetery.

"Can you fly?" Shazam asked Diana.

"No," Diana said annoyed.

"I'll take you. Just let me carry you," Shazam said.

Diana sighed and allowed Shazam to carry her as they flew to the cemetery. Once they got there, Diana looked for Kara Kent's tombstone.

"That one," Diana pointed out.

"Can I resurrect the others too?" Shazam asked excitedly.

"No, just this one!" Diana said impatiently.

"Okay, here goes," Shazam smiled and then fired lightning into the grave.


Hal continued to play with his ring wondering what the deal was. A large fleet came upon his position. "Oh, shit," Hal said as he was surrounded.

"What's taking so long?" Diana asked Shazam impatiently.

"Come on, I don't do this very often," Shazam replied.

Suddenly a pale hand burst through the ground. "You did it," Diana said amazed.

Kara burst from the ground dressed in a black uniform and white cape. "What the fuck happened?" she asked confused.

"You died," Diana nodded.

Kara looked around at the cemetery. "I got that part. What else?"

"There's an alien invasion force that is going to destroy the planet if we don't stop it," Diana added.

"Neat," Kara said still disoriented.

"Wow, you're the Kryptonian. You look beautiful," Shazam said excitedly.

"Were you the one that resurrected me?" Kara asked.

"Yep, on my own," Shazam said proudly.

"I'm going to eat your brains first," Kara said stepping towards him.

"What the?" Shazam asked backing away.

Kara laughed. "The look on your face; imagine if that did happen."

"Kara: focus!" Diana shouted.

"One question: is Jimmy still alive?" Kara asked hopefully.

"Why does that matter?" Diana asked.

"Who's Jimmy?" Shazam asked ignorantly.

Kara gave Shazam a dirty look. "Well, depending on whether he's alive or not, I may decide to jump ship," Kara said bluntly.

"He's alive, definitely alive," Diana replied.

"How do you know?" Shazam wondered.

"Shut the fuck up," Diana hissed at him.


Mongul descended from his ship with an army of alien minions and approached Hal Jordan. "So, Green Lantern, why did you take my prized champion and my favorite ship?" he demanded.

"They forced me into it," Hal excused.

"But I thought you were as powerful as a god," Mongul recalled.

"I may have fudged a little," Hal admitted.

Mongul gave him a wicked grin. "I'm going to make you watch as I destroy every planet in your sector."

"Honestly, I don't really give a shit about those other planets," Hal said.

Kara landed with a boom right in front of Mongul. "The Kryptonian I have heard so much about," Mongul smiled amused.

Shazam carried Diana to the battlefield, and the Flash suddenly zipped by. "Batman and Cyborg are on their way," Flash told them.

"What about Aqua Man?" Diana asked.

"There's no water here," Flash pointed out.

"He doesn't need water. He's not a god-damn fish!" Diana told him.

"I don't know where he is," Flash admitted.

"So, this is the Justice League," Mongul mocked. "I'm only here for one of you," Mogul said pointing to Kara. "Your world doesn't need to end today."

"That does sound reasonable," Hal said to the group.

"Hal, how about you materialize some balls," Diana shot back.

"Don't worry guys. I can handle this," Kara said cracking her knuckles. With super-speed, she engaged Mongul punching him to the jaw. Mongul spat on the ground unimpressed. He took hold of Kara and slammed her on the ground several times and then kicked her back towards the group.

"So, I guess I'm a little rusty," Kara said sheepishly.

"We fight together," Diana said.

"As do I," Mongul said unleashing his alien army on them.

The Justice League engaged the alien minions with all of their powers. Hal was on the sidelines in deep contemplation. "Who am I?" he wondered.

He looked at his ring thoughtfully. "It's not fear that's holding me back," he realized. "It's…,"


The Justice League got hammered by Mongul's superior forces. Wave-after-wave of minions kept coming. The Flash used his super-speed to go through the ranks hitting as many of their officers as he could. Diana blasted them with her wrist bands. Shazam sent a lightning chain that went through a large number of them.

Seeing an opening, Diana went after Mogul, but he defeated her with pure strength. Diana was cast aside next to Hal. "Hal, please give a shit!" Diana said to him.

"That's it," Hal realized. "The thing that has kept me from reaching my full potential is… that I don't actually give a shit."

Hal watched as Flash got busted up making him unable to move. Mongul had Shazam in a headlock. "Say your name," he told him as he squeezed. "Say your name, and I will give you ice cream."

"Really?" Shazam wondered. "Okay, Shazam," Shazam said and became a kid again.

Mongul kicked Billy aside knocking him out. "Dumbass kid."

A black jet arrived and fired missiles at Mongul's ships causing some superficial damage. The Batwing swung low and fired its machine guns on the alien minions. Cyborg dropped down and fired his plasma cannon and onboard missiles in every direction.

The US Air Force joined the Batwing and fired a string of missiles at Mongul's ships. The alien ships retaliated, hitting fighters with laser fire. "Cyborg, link up to one of their disabled ships," Batman said as he avoided fire.

"Roger that, Batman," Cyborg said and rocketed his way to a crashed ship. He blasted the surviving crew of the ship and then initiated a link up with the computer.

"I now have access to their central defense commands," Cyborg said and proceeded to order the ships to fire on each other.

The Batwing and US fighters disengaged as Mongul's ships fired on themselves creating brilliant explosions. Mogul eyed the destruction of his fleet and was punched to the face by Kara. He grabbed her angrily.

"What are you fighting for, Kyptonian?" he mocked.

"For Jimmy," Kara gasped.

"Who the fuck is Jimmy?" Mongul asked.

Kara became enraged and blasted Mongul with heat vision blinding him. Kara then unleashed her full fury punching Mongul to the gut and head as hard as she could. Kara isolated Mongul from the rest of his army and fought him on the plains of Kansas.

A large green fly swatter came down upon Mogul's army swatting them completely. Hal then materialized a large roller that squashed any remaining survivors. Hal then materialized a large green battle cruiser that fired green laser beams on Mogul's fleet destroying it completely.

"I am a god, and I do give a shit," Hal said victoriously.


Kara kept going punching Mogul through wheat fields but was suddenly blasted by Mongul's hidden chest cannon. "Bitch, please," Mongul smiled.

Mongul put his hands behind his back as he walked towards an exhausted Kara. "Here I thought you would be my greatest champion. What a disappointment."

"Oh, you got me all wrong," Kara said getting back to her feet. "I was just warming up."

"What?" Mongul demanded.

"If I defeated you in a few seconds, there would be no fun in that," Kara smiled.

"But your comrades, all those people on the battlefield?" Mongul asked shocked. "No, I don't believe it," he doubted.

Kara used her heat vision to melt Mongul's chest cannon and dropped him to his knees. "Yeah, I wouldn't have put something like that so close to my heart."

Mongul spat blood as he was facing cardiac arrest. Kara casually walked up to Mongul and punched him through the gut and out the other side. "Yuck," Kara made a face as she withdrew her bloody hand.

"No, Kara. Don't kill him," Batman said as he approached.

"Oh, no, no, no. You're not getting this kill. It's mine," Kara said determined.

"You don't want to do this. Killing is not the answer," Batman said as he was getting closer. In his right hand was a batarang.

"No, go fuck yourself," Kara said knowing what he was up to.

Suddenly green chains surrounded Mongul pinning his arms and legs. "What the?" Kara wondered taking a step back.

Hal took hold of Mongul sending him into space and then throwing him into the sun.

"Damn it," Kara said annoyed.


Military personal arrived on the scene of the battle and began treating the wounded. "I'll be okay," Flash said as his wounds had already healed.

"Let's get you some ice cream," a nurse said to Billy as he was taken away.

Hal Jordan flew near some Air Force pilots. "Good work, men," he said and gave them a salute as he flew off.

"I always knew our galactic protector would be…an American," Cyborg said with a tear in his human eye.

"I'm going back home," Diana said peeved.


Kara and Batman sulked in the middle of a wheat field. "So…should we continue where we left off," Kara asked Batman referring to their earlier duel.

"I wouldn't," Batman said taking out a piece of Kryptonite from his utility belt.

"If you carry that around with you in your belt every day, you're going to be infertile," Kara warned.

"There are always more orphans to replace the lost ones," Batman countered.

"Wow, that's fucked up," Kara smiled and walked over to Batman. "We didn't shake hands last time."

"I like having a hand," Batman replied.

"Now that I am weakened by your rocks, how about it?" Kara asked extending her hand.

Batman cautiously shook her hand. "To Justice."


Hal Jordan appeared next to the president with a congressional medal of honor. "First, I want to thank God…"

"This is such bullshit," Diana said on the couch while lying on Steve Trevor's lap at his apartment. The two were watching the news.

"You know what isn't? Bringing me back from the dead," Steve said appreciatively.

"At least I have one fan," Diana smiled and kissed him.
