Hey, everyone! Welcome to The Marvelous Superwoman's latest chapter! Before we begin, I'd like to dedicate this chapter to Fanfic Author Spidey-Legend, who's stuck through this story, and has helped me with some advice, while also being inspired to write his own take on Kara in The Marvel Universe. The reason this chapter is dedicated to him is because one of his favorite heroes appears in this story. Who is it? Read on to find out. And as always, I own NOTHING! This is for FAN-Purpopses only, so please don't sue! Other than that, enjoy!
Earth 65126…
In a giant stone throne room, two figures stood next to each other observing the so-called 'Supervillians' of this Earth, through a giant monitor. On a monitor adjacent to the one they were viewing, was the heroine from the recently-named 'Earth 56162' as it was known as through advance science and technology.
One of the figures turned to the other and finally spoke.
"Which one should we use, Master?"
The Master was silent, but eventually answered.
"I think we shall use the one known as Teth-Adam." The Master suggested.
"Haven't we already tried using a mystic before?" The figure who spoke first suggested.
"That was different." The Master explained, "The first figure was able to warp reality itself. He was not much of a physical fighter when it came to his magics. But this…this Teth-Adam…I believe he will not only be able to be a greater match for this Superwoman, I believe we can also reason with him much easier. I don't see any reason that he'll let her live. Especially when we offer him his own part of the world."
The first figure nodded and went to make the preparations to send their next accomplice through the rift.
….
Earth 56162…
Clara Jones walked along the street with her boyfriend, laying her head on his shoulder.
It had been a full week since any supervillians had shown their faces, meaning that Clara could now relax peacefully with her boyfriend.
They had just gone to see a film, and now the both of them were starting to walk back home, when Peter's spider sense suddenly kicked in.
Before Clara could ask, they both looked up and saw a giant lightning bolt strike the ground about a few miles away from them.
"What the heck is that?!" Somebody asked.
"Is that Thor?"
"What does it mean?!"
Suddenly, a figure rose in the air and slammed down into the street Clara and Peter were walking down. The impact sent a mini-earthquake that knocked Peter and Clara off their feet, along with everyone else, sending them to the ground. When they looked back up, they could see clearly who it was.
It was a man who seemed to be around his late twenties with short black hair slicked back. He wore a full-black-spandex costume with a yellow lightning bolt on his chest, and had a yellow cloth strapped around his waist. And his eyes seemed full of hate.
"SUPERWOMAN!" The Man declared, "Come out you coward! Show me why you are this world's 'Mightiest Heroine,' or I'll crush every single human around here!"
Looking at each other, Clara and Peter ran off to get changed in an alleyway, unnoticed by anybody. While they slipped into their identities, the police were showing up in their cars. The man who had appeared simply turned and raised a hand. Instantly, lighting flew out of his palm at the cars, sending them flying back, and gravely injuring the people inside.
"Well," Superwoman said, flying out, and grabbing this new villain as she flew him up higher, "You're a new guy, aren't you?"
Meanwhile, down below, Spider-Man was already at work, helping the Police out, and delivering them to the ambulances that had begun to arrive.
"Thank you, Spider-Man." One of the injured officers told him, as a nurse wheeled him inside the ambulance, "I don't care what Jamerson says about you."
"Any time." Spider-Man responded.
Meanwhile, Superwoman was still up in the air as she punched the man in the face.
"So tell me;" Superwoman asked, "What's your story? My relative kick your butt once too many times so you decided to come here?"
"Truth be told, Superwoman." The man said, regaining his strength, "I have rarely had the chance to fight your cousin. I am not a nemesis of his, but I fight you because I have been given an offer that means so much to me."
With that, his hands began to crackle with lightning-like energy, as he shot it out at The Woman of Steel. She screamed in pain as he continued the onslaught of electricity. Normally, Clara didn't have to worry about electrical attacks. Usually they stung like a bee would sting a human being. It would only last a second before she could overcome it. Yet this was different. This was pain that could actually be felt, and was almost seemingly killing her by the second.
"Yes." He said, grabbing Superwoman by the neck and continuing the onslaught of pain, so that Superwoman felt the jolt of energy stinging her entire body, "I will destroy you and pave the way for my employees so that they will in turn, give me my own land to rule! And I, Black Adam, will have everything I lost once more!"
Bellow, Spider-Man had finished getting the injured people to safety when he saw his girlfriend in pain above.
"Superwoman!" He declared, "Hang on! I'm…"
Before he could say or do anything, he felt himself transported once again.
…...
And now, he found himself in Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum once more. Turning around, he found Strange, floating above some pillows sitting pretzel-legged, and letting his hands rest upon his keen in a meditation position.
"Apologies, Spider-Man." Strange acknowledged, "But I thought it would be best if you knew who you were facing before you had yourself turned into a monkey again. Or worse. But rest assured, I am working on a way to fix the problem now."
"What's happening, Strange?" Spider-Man asked, "Who was that?!"
"I'll tell you now as quickly as possible, Spider-Man." Strange sighed, "That man is known as Black Adam. He is a villain from Superwoman's Earth who has sorcery that would make even The Ancient One troubled to learn about. Black Adam, or Teth-Adam as he was once known, was an Egyptian Pharaoh on Superwoman's Earth, long ago. One day, he was chosen by a powerful wizard to become the next in the Wizard's line of heritage. Thus, Adam could gain powers by yelling the word 'SHAZAM' which turned him into the villain that's attacking Superwoman now. His powers derive from the gods of Superwoman's Earth known as Shu, which gives him enhanced stamina; Hershef, which gives him powerful strength beyond Superwoman's; Amon, which grants him additional powers; Zehuti, which grants him wisdom; Anpu, which grants him enhanced speed; and finally, Menthu, which is his god of courage. Basically, he is a villain of magic who eventually turned evil and was banished before being replaced. Needless to say, Adam was not so happy about this, and has tried to reclaim his status ever since. Now for some reason, he's here and he needs to be stopped. Of course, Superwoman and yourself are no good when it comes to magic, and I think it might be unlikely that Venus will be able to help us again. Therefore, I have another solution in mind."
"Alright, Strange." Spider-Man nodded, "That's all well and good. But could you explain how you know this, and how we're going to stop this?"
"When Adam came into our world…" Strange told him, "I felt a…presence, if you will, of another being. Going into Astral Projection, I saw it was an echo of the Wizard who gave Adam his powers, and bestowed the same powers to others who could fight him."
"When you say an 'echo'…" Spider-Man began to ask.
"It means that it is the final remnants of this Wizard." Strange explained, "He's dead, but it appears that his esscence can probably help us. By sacrificing the last bit of energy he has and empowering someone from this world with the powers of SHAZAM."
"Do we have a person who we're going to give these powers to who won't kill us?" Spider-Man asked.
"Yes." Strange said, closing his eyes and going into Astral Projection again, "I have just the person in mind…"
….
Cape Canaveral Military Base…
Carol Danvers sat down in her room after today's long day.
Carol was a United States Air Force Officer, and Security Chief of this military base. She had joined the military in order to honor her fallen brother despite her parent's wishes.
Today, Carol seemed to have a pretty good life, although at many times, she thought she could do better. For example, Carol had often seen and occasionally worked with the hero known as Captain Marvel; an alien from a race known as The Kree who defected from them to protect the people of Earth. Carol found him to be amazing, and wished that somehow she could be just like him in some way or another.
Just as she was about to dose off to sleep, she suddenly heard what sounded like thunder outside. She opened her eyes confused. According to the weather reports, there were no storms that were supposed to happen today.
She listened as the thunder sounds got closer and closer. Finally, they seemed to stop, but suddenly, there was a bright light from up above, and Carol screamed as a lightning bolt struck her, and within a second, she was gone.
….
When Carol awoke again, she found herself in a great, big, open room. The room was made of stone, and it seemed like an old medieval castle, with different hallways branching off into multiple rooms. Looking around, Carol made the best guess on where to go, and began walking down one of the hallways.
"Hello?" Carol Danvers asked, as she walked through the large stone hallway.
She had no idea where she was, or how she got here. All that happened was that she was relaxing at her base, when suddenly, she found herself here.
Wherever here was.
"Come…" A weak and old voice declared.
Carol did not know who it was, but she followed the voice down a hallway and past some weird-looking-hologram-like statues, until she came to a shocking sight.
Sitting on a throne, was an old man with white long hair and a beard, wearing a red toga, who also had a glowing lightling bolt symbol on his chest.
"So…" The man said weakly, "This is who the so-called 'Sorcerror Supreme' has sent for this world's champion of magic. A woman."
"Wait!" Carol declared, "Who are you, and what am I doing here?!"
"You are in my home!" The old man declared in a mighty voice that made Carol shut up, "You will speak ONLY when you are spoken to! I am the last of the council of wizards and keeper of the Rock of Eternity!"
He then eyed carol, as she continued to remain silent.
"That is the greatest magical fortress in all existence. At least where I am from." The Wizard declared, "And YOU, Carol Danvers, have been chosen to be the first of the champions of great power on this world, and last of the chosen one's ever to be selected by myself."
"Chosen ones?!" Carol asked, confused, "What are you talking about?!"
"I have learned that an enemy named Black Adam has invaded your world," The Wizard explained, "Your heroes will not be enough against him. But if there was someone with Black Adam's power here…you would do well to battle with him."
"Wait…" Carol asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"I am going to use the last of my essence to transfer the powers of the gods to you, Carol Danvers." The Wizard explained, clutching his chest, "Quickly…you must shout the magic word 'SHAZAM!' Do it with thoughts of your parents, your family, and your loved ones. Say it with those thoughts and you will be transformed into your greatest potential. Say SHAZAM!"
Carol was confused, but did what she was told. Gathering up all her thoughts about those she felt close to, she screamed the word.
"SHAZAM!"
With that, a lightning bolt struck Carol and she felt a weird transformation beginning to take place. Carol felt as if she was being remade with a form of indiscernible might energy. She felt herself grow by a couple of feet, and her previously flat stomach suddenly tightening.
Finally, the lightning bolt disappeared and Carol looked at herself in amazement. She was now at least a few feet taller, and had quite a bulky muscle build. She also now wore a completely red swimsuit that had a golden lightning bolt on the front chest, and golden bracelets on both arm. She also wore golden boots and a large golden belt that seemed like a cross between a Greek god's belt, and one that were usually given to professional wrestlers. To finish off the costume, Carol also had a white and golden cape strapped to her back.
Needless to say, Carol was very surprised by the sudden change.
"What?!" She asked, amazed, "What happened?!"
"You have been made into your fullest potential…" The Wizard said, weakly as he dropped to his knees while Carol bent down to try and help him up, "You are now the final inheritor of the power of SHAZAM. The power of living lightning is yours…"
Carol suddenly felt a tingling around her body and looked to see lightning traveling around there.
"Woah!" She exclaimed, "This is cool."
"You will be able to travel as it does…through the sky…" The Wizard continued, "You will have the strength of a demigoddess…"
Carol flexed a muscle with showed a definitive bicep in there."
"I feel it." She exclaimed.
"Remember…" The Wizard said, now getting weaker in the sound of his voice, "You are now this magic's final champion, Carol Danvers… you are…. Shazam."
With that, the Wizard closed his eyes, as Carol looked at him shocked.
"Wizard?" Carol asked, shaking him lightly, "Wizard?!"
With that, she touched him, and suddenly disappeared in a bolt of lightning completely.
….
The Sanctum Sanctorum
Strange opened his eyes and landed back on the pillows he had been hovering over as he got back up again.
"It is done." He said, "The Champion of SHAZAM has been selected. They should be arriving soon."
"How soon is…" Spider-Man began to ask.
Before he could finish, a giant lightning bolt struck the center of the room, and suddenly, there stood a tall, muscular blonde woman, dressed in a red costume and a white cape who had a golden lightning bolt on her chest.
"Never mind."
Carol looked around stunned to now be in the presence of Doctor Strange and Spider-Man. Two big heroes she had read about. Already, she was beginning to feel more and more out of her league.
"Sorry." Carol apologized, "I'm still getting used to this. Anyways…do either of you know where I can find someone called 'Black Adam?'"
….
Clara didn't know how much more of this she could take, she could actually begin to feel Adam's grip beginning to crush her windpipe gently, but surely.
"And now, Superwoman;" Adam declared, "You will…"
Before he could finish, he suddenly found himself blasted by another thunderbolt, as he released Superwoman who quickly took in as much air and energy as she could.
Turning around, Adam stared in horror at who had attacked him.
"No…" He declared, "It can't be!"
Flying towards him was a blonde woman whom he did not recognize, but he recognized the costume and the energy flowing through her as she punched him hard in the face.
"Alright, Black Adam;" The woman declared, "Get ready to feel the power off the all-new-and-improved CAPTAIN MARVEL!"
