The Atlantic Ocean...
Above the North Atlantic Ocean, the weather is heavy with dark, almost pitch black thunderclouds. The wind, strong and unforgiven while lightning flashed and reflects two lonely figure in its light. Lightning flashed next to a tall man, his shoulder broad and muscular. The leather red spandex costume looks like a second skin around the massive biceps, well-toned stomach and sculpted chest. A golden lightning bolt adorned the man's chest that seems to crack with power. The heroes white cloak and the hood billowed in the strong wind wildly, yet it gave his posture a strong image. "Lady, my name is Shazam, a hero of this planet, Earth. I friendly request that you surrender yourself and..." The hero, Shazam was interrupted when a twin of crimson beams surged towards him with the intention of harming him. His quick reflexes blocked the attack, catching the heat vision with his golden arm bracers. "And that was not nice...!" Commented Shazam's chosen successor, only for him to meet the elbow of the unknown female Kryptonian right on the top of his head. A sonic boom erupted and Shazam was blasted towards the Atlantic Ocean.
"Weak." Ejected the Kryptonian woman haughty. "If this is the strength of Earth's protector. I would feel pity for those that looks up to those so-called protectors." She turned around with the intention of leaving the fool to drown in the sea, a fitting end for an earthling of his statue. Shrugging her shoulders and turning her eyes to the south where her eyes could see the shockwaves of the second confrontation between her beloved General and the Protector of Earth. "Krypton will arise from the ashes of the old world, and I will lead them with my beloved General!"
"...SHAZAM!" The powerful sorcerer's name cleaved through the weather storm. Above the position of the female Kryptonian, clouds gathered together while turning more darker. Suddenly a massive lightning bolt burst out of the clouds. Slamming into Faora's back and her body spasm wildly as lightning burned every cell into her body. Faora let out a pained scream that was cut off when she dived head first into the sea and a bit further away from Faora's position Shazam burst out of the water. "Bull's eye, Lady! No one smashes my face with an elbow!" Laughed the chosen champion of the Wizard. Floating upwards with his white cloak billowing behind him, Shazam turned his head while his eyes scanned the sea surface for any clue of the female Kryptonian.
Two heat beams burst out of the water and leaving a trail of boiling steam behind. Its target is the person that had electrified their owner and with a well-placed aim, Shazam's chin was hit. Faora rose out of the sea, water cascaded down her skin while her cold dark eyes glowed red. "I think that I have underestimated you, Guardian of Earth, but you will pay for what you have done to me." She hissed out angrily, her scourged skin mended itself under the sun's radiation. "Your powers shows that you're more than a normal hero of Earth. That power, magic, an unknown source that is capable of damaging me within my dormant suit. Perhaps you want to witness the full power of Krypton, both physical and technology...!" Her suit that consists out of shades of pitch black and dark grey plates with golden linings that now started to radiate a familiar yellow light that started at her feet before it slowly crawled up her legs, past her flat belly and up her chest were a crest from one of the Houses of Krypton now radiated a yellow light. "Behold my people tool of destruction, Krypton's Solar suit!"
A sweat drop slid down the side of Shazam's face at the discovery of this new suit of the Kryptonian. The chosen champion of Shazam the Wizard could guess that in the League several members are trying to find a way for Superman or Supergirl to use their powers without being affected by Green Kryptonite for special missions with high radiation of Green Kryptonite. As for the Batman, that was a large question mark or not so much. Many members of the Justice League knew that the Dark Knight have many gadgets that could be used to stop any of them. But this! An enemy of Earth that uses a suit that can amplify her powers several times is very, very dangerous. Clenching his fingers into a fist and steel all his willpower for this new confrontation between him and the women from Krypton.
'But for now, I think the best way for this confrontation is to drag it out until backup arrives.' Shazam moved out of the path of Faora's fist that tried to cave in his face. Dark eyes now focused on the battle in front of him, seeing blurs of her attacks that he could barely avoid or deflect with a twist of his wrist. 'She really did not lie. That solar suit of her really increases her speed under Earth's sun. I can barely see her attacks coming at me...!' Suddenly Shazam hunched over a fist that is buried into his stomach, eyes almost bulged out under the heavy impact and spit flew out of his mouth. 'Ghah! Not only does that suit boost her speed stats, but also her strength!'
High above the sea, a sudden explosion filled the air that was followed by a cry of agony. Faora now with her suit boosting all her stats was in a very amused mood, however that good feeling of her was overwhelmed by her warrior side that was now using the taller and more muscular man like a boxing trainer. Her fists dug into the man's chest which made him wheeze for air before she buried it into his stomach what made him fold double and his neck who was now unprotected and she lifted her leg high and with a deadly axe kick Faora let her heel land on Shazam's neck which shot towards the water below. "That man's endurance is pretty high if he could survive my assault with my suit activated. I actually had expected of him ending up like nothing more than a pile of flesh, yet..." Her hand shot up and caught a wrist in her hand that she held firmly. "My attacks did not much against someone like you, Earth's Protector. Let us see who is the better fighter now that you decided to become serious..." She said with a small smile and her eyes took in the man's face.
Crackling white lightning burst out of Shazam's eyes. A small line that is his lips stretched into a scowl, showing his displeasure to the woman. "You want me to take you serious, fine!" Snarled the taller man in anger, his hand curled up into a fist with lightning dancing around. "Shazam!" Roared the man, a lightning bolt burst out of the clouds that hit the man's fist, empowering the attack. In a blink of an eye the fist had buried itself into her stomach, folding her double this time and her eyes wide open in horror. Time seemed to stand still until Shazam called upon the name again. She could feel the power gathering together and before she knew it, Faora was launched high into the air while blood pooled out of her mouth.
'Magic, his main power is still lethal to me. Even now my suit could not prevent his powers to damage me... however, this hero clearly shows his Achilles heel.' Faora focused her mind on correcting her flight, and the power of Earth's sun will heal her from his attack. From the corner of her eyes, Faora noticed that Shazam needed to say a chant before the use of his magic. 'Now that I know Shazam's weakness, and for that, I have the right thing to stop him.' Wiping the blood from her chin with her wrist before locking her eyes with the hero and sending him a withering glare. "You are strong, Earthling, definitely you're... however in your foolish loss of emotional control you gave me a clue about your weakness."
Shazam burst out in laughter when his opponent suddenly showed determination in defeating him. Rising a solitary brow at her. "What weakness... I don't have one. My strength is my magic … something that your kind are weak against." Boosted the Wizard's chosen while his knuckles flared up with lightning. "Huaaah!" The covered lightning fist shot forward with the intention to knock her out, only for Faora to deflect the appendage with her wrist before her hand shot forward and clamped tightly around his throat, cutting off his air and vocal box.
"Are you that arrogant, Earthling, or are you just idiotic? Your weakness is that you need use a certain trigger, a certain word or a name. And I think I found your magical word, Shazam." Faora smirked in victory at him before she sped off with him towards the coast. They were nothing but a blur to anyone who would have noticed them, and suddenly large pieces of rock flew past the pair. The right-hand woman of Kryptonian General had flown at sonic speed into the sea cliffs and buried the mighty Shazam under several layers of rock. She could hear the muffled cries of the hero which Faora still held in an iron grip. "I have heard enough of your cries, freeze!" She pulled the man out of the cliffs and breathed cold air into his face and locked the lower half of Shazam's face in a block of ice. "Now that you're finally silenced, let's go up!"
Supergirl flew at high-speed through the air with the intention of giving that Kryptonian bitch a fist into her face. The wind blowing against her face, playing with her hair while her eyes flashed white that is a sign that she uses one of her abilities. Her sight now focused on the sea where water jumped up and sound blasts reverberated through the air. "We need to hurry up, Susanoo. Faora beat him purple and blue!"
"There is something strange going on over there. That woman, Faora is too strong for Shazam while being here on earth less than a day. It would have taken more than twelve hours of charging herself up with our sun, or perhaps they were much longer around the yellow sun without our knowledge." Susanoo mused out loud. The unique flower patterned eyes of Susanoo focused on the fight several miles of them. "Or they somehow found a way to amplify or charge themselves in half less the time."
"I'll bring this up with J'onn, perhaps they have any news about why they managed to charge themselves so quick," Supergirl told her friend before she brought her hand to her earpiece communication to contact J'onn. She did not have to wait long as the Martian had listened in with them. "J'onn, do you hear me..."
The deep baritone voice of the Martian, J'onn J'onzz cut her off friendly. "We've heard Susanoo's thoughts of what he thinks about this sudden charge up of them. We all know that Shazam is one of the few that can toe to toe with Superman, and now two rogue Kryptonians found a way to place themselves in the same power category like you, Supergirl and Superman, Wonder Woman and Shazam in a span of fewer than twelve hours."
"That really surprises me, I mean … we all know about the power struggle between my cousin and Shazam vs Black Adam, and the bad guy almost swept the floor with the two of them. And now it is the opposite, a Kryptonian that swept the floor with Captain Marvel." Supergirl shakily said. Her hands sweated a little at the thought that she would fight someone of that strength. "Eh... J'onn, how are Diana and my cousin doing against that madman?"
"Supergirl, during missions we only use our Code Names or the names Earth's people gave us. There is a reason why we use them." Chastised Martian Manhunter the young woman through the communication before his tone softened. "As for Superman and Wonder Woman, their battle with General Zod is not going well. Whatever Zod uses is something that gives him a large advantage over our strongest members, also we could not weaken him with Green Kryptonite without weakening you or Superman."
"We do appreciate your concern about our health..." Supergirl started, only for her to be interrupted by her companion who had placed a hand gently on her shoulder. She turned her face to him and frowned slightly at Susanoo. "What is it, Susanoo?" She bites in irritation. The helpless situation that they found themselves in didn't help her mood, hence the reaction.
Tightening his grip on the young women's shoulder before the young man spoke. "Supergirl there is more than one ways to stop someone like them. And about our concern about Superman and your health, yes, that is important to us." Narrowing his blue-white flower pattern eyes slightly to send the message to her. "We don't want to lose you nor Superman. As for how we can weaken our opponent, for that, I have a plan."
"Even if you do have a plan to take her down. There is not much that will hurt let's say do any damage to a Kryptonian besides those crystals from my home planet. Many had tried, yet all failed." Supergirl voiced out heatedly. She could feel from the grunt that Martian Manhunter sighed through the mice that he agreed with her. Nevertheless, Supergirl motioned for her companion to explain.
"You're right that not much on Earth can hurt nor stop a Kryptonian, yet this planet is changing with people from different planets comes here to live. Like me, someone not from this Earth has come and made here a living. On my home planet, the people were much more than here on Earth, we held a power that could make us rivals with Superman himself. One of them is a power wielded by the Founder of Konohagakure, my village. He could wield the very Nature of my planet and with this, he could restrain Nine God-like beings. These very powers are now fused with Kryptonite and I will use this very powers to restrain her. My plan is to bring her to the ground where the earth herself is at it strongest. There Shazam, Supergirl and I will fight her until I find a good opportunity to trap her in my Kryptonite Mokuton."
High above the earth's atmosphere and between thousands of sparkling orbs that we humans named them stars. Amongst them, hundreds of man-made stations had joined them that have one and each their own tasks, but amongst them and hidden from any known knowledge a large high advantaged space station kept watch over Earth and its populations. This space station is where Heroes gathering, keeping a watch over Earth … and its name is the Watchtower that belongs to a worldwide organization the Justice League. Here we find one of the Founders J'onn J'onzz who kept an eye on two groups, one that held Supergirl, Susanoo and Shazam with the latest fighting Faora while the other group consists out of Superman and Wonder Woman fighting General Zod. The Martian Manhunter had just heard the plan from one of the newest members of the branch organization of the Justice League, Young Justice. Stretching out his physical ability towards Earth, J'onn took contact with the ones fighting Zod.
'Superman do you receive my thoughts?' Resounded the all too familiar mental voice of the Martian Manhunter in the world most famous Protector's mind. For Superman that mental voice came more as a surprise, especially when the heat vision of General Zod smashed into his House symbol...the all familiar S-shield that is at the center of his chest. Bringing a hand to the shriveled hole that the evil General made with his heat vision, Superman's eyes send the man a withering glare. 'I do, but at the moment not the right time for our conversation.' Replied the Man of Steel while avoiding a second heat vision and send one of his own that met another one from the General.
The two heat visions met one another at the center where it built up and a red sphere red sphere quickly grew to large proportion and was similar to the core of the earth or a small star. An explosion erupted at the place the two heat beams connected which blasted Superman and General Zod from one another. 'Superman! What was that explosion? I could see that from my position here in the Watchtower, but more importantly – are you and Wonder Woman unharmed from whatever happened on your end?'
Bringing a hand to the temples of his head, Superman banished the dizziness out of his head that was brought by that explosion. Quickly while trying not to increase his headache, Superman surveyed his surroundings in search for both the General who could choose this opportunity to attack and for Wonder Woman who could have been caught in the blast. Not to mention the Martian who speak mentally to the Man of Steel. 'I can only speak for myself, as for Wonder Woman. All I can do is hope that she is fine, and for that bastard...' The Man of Steel was cut off when a war cry reached his ears and turned around. There high into the air with the sun at her back was Wonder Woman. Her shield rising high into the sky and sunlight reflected from the surface of her Medusa shield. For a moment the Man of Steel was blinded by the reflection, and so was Zod who lifted his arm to block the sun. She threw the shield towards Zod who on instinct flew a few feet back. The shield sailed past him and General Zod could only smirk when he felt the wind pressure grace his skin.
"You missed, my future concubine. I deem you are worthy of carrying my species warriors, as will your kind embrace the same fate like you, Wonder Women." General Zod spoke haughtily, feeling overconfidence with his new armor. However what happened next made the infamous general scream in anger. Superman appeared in front of him with the all too familiar shield of Wonder Woman in his hands, the edge horizontal and ready to bury itself into the armor's plates. "No! You fool! Don't do this … how dare you intervene with my plans. How dare you fight against your own kind! Traitor!" Zod roared out desperately, trying to avoid the shield by increasing the distance, however, the General had forgotten one large problem … Wonder Woman. She appeared behind him and smashed her feet into the General's back and launched him forward, straight into the shield that smashed the main reactor of the armor in pieces. "NOOOoooooo!"
'Everything is fine, J' onn. We managed to stop today's threat, and we now know that magical artifacts can damage Zod's armor.' Superman replied telepathic toward his friend high in the Watchtower. While talking mentally with his friend, Kal-El delivered a devastating punch to the man's chin which launched General Zod out of its armor and high into the air where Wonder Woman was awaiting him.
Wonder Woman brought her hands together and waited for the right moment when Zod was at the right angle … the princess of the Amazons brought her hands together and smashed him back towards Superman who followed her example, bringing his hands together and smashed the infamous General back into the air. For a while, they played life volleyball with General Zod as the ball until the villain showed no sign of conscious. Superman caught the unconscious General in his arms and Wonder Woman bound the Kryptonian in her lasso of truth.
'It seems that even technology have some weaknesses against magical objects. I will propose to our scientists and our Dark Knight to study General Zod's armor. Perhaps we can improve and use it when someone of an omega threat enters or threats Earth.' J' onn said while writing down a document about his idea and sending once done towards several key members of the Justice League. 'As for Supergirl, Susanoo, and Shazam who are battling the follower of General Zod, they are nearly done. Susanoo showed quiet the mind in tactical battles and revealed a few of his powers.'
Superman flew through the air, flying at speeds untraceable with the normal eye and gathered pieces of the armor. Next, to him, Wonder Woman held General Zod below her while following the conversation. 'Anything worthwhile mentioning about our newest member's meta-powers?'
'There is quite a lot to mention. One of his powers is to summon a barrier that seems to hold a Kryptonian, even Faora with her armor has a difficulty of breaking out of the barrier. As for his fighting style, for that, I fear that even Batman would have a hard time against him.' Mentioned J'onn while following the fight by satellite. 'Back to Susanoo's tactical plan, our young members lured Faora to the Earth's surface where you once landed created the barrier. At this moment they are fighting together like a team, trying to lure her into a corner to ensnare her into Susanoo's trees.'
'I don't understand. Why would Susanoo try using trees? Those trees are easily uprooted with our strength or set aflame with our heat visions.' Pointed out Superman and shook his head at the absurd idea.
J'onn voiced out the plans that Susanoo informed him off to Superman and Wonder Woman. The last mentioned was impressed at forming plans in the heat of battle, and that showed that this mysterious hero was very well trained. 'An ingenious plan, I believe that Susanoo had studied several arch-enemies of Kal-El. Namely Metallo, an android who uses a Kryptonite heart as a battery that he uses to weaken our friend here. And Parasite, a Metahuman with the ability to devour energy. This villain used its powers to steal Superman powers to empower himself.'
'Indeed, we can now add Susanoo powers into that category. We must avoid of making him an enemy of our group, but above that, we must avoid that a third party will get his or her hands on his DNA.' Warned J' onn. Like many members, he knew that other organizations kept eyes on possible threats, metahumans that they seem like nothing more than a weapon or allies that they could benefit from. As for now, J'onn focussed back on the satellite images of the remaining threat to Earth.
Faora glanced around her, she was cornered by a group of young heroes. At first, she had thought that she would gain the upper hand. Mostly because of her new armor that would be amplified her already remarkable strength and speed that she gained from the yellow sun. However, now, her powers dwindled rapidly. This red barrier had the same effect like Red Kryptonite, and if that wasn't worst, her enemy, Supergirl was protected by a strange golden aura. "You got me, I will surrender … for now." She spat out. Faora could not believe that after all the training she had done, and especially this armor. She still lost against Earth.
"We accept your surrender, however, I hadn't expected this result with my Musekiyojin or what is in the Earth's language the Six Red Yang Formation. It seems that the blood transfer from Supergirl and I did much more than chance my Mokuton, but I could not be happier with these results." Susanoo spoke towards the female Kryptonian. "Before we deliver you to the Justice League, I have some questions for you."
"Speak your words, yet that doesn't mean I will answer them." Spat Faora.
"I do believe that however, it is more for you than for me. Shall we start?" Susanoo asked while keeping an eye on her. Seeing that she would not try anything, the Shinobi started his questions. "Why did General Zod and you come here to Earth? There must be a reason at why only you two came here. Did this technology confidence you two so much, or was someone else pulling the strings here?"
Faora let out a bark, laughing at the absurd of someone else pulling the strings. Her generals are the best! Someone who had bested everyone in the Krypton's army. Someone who had bested Jor-El, and survived the destruction of their home planet. Yet, here is someone that dares to question her General, her God! "Of course not. How dare you to question the great General Zod. He, who would be our king, our emperor once we had conquered Earth, and I would be his queen!"
"Do you really believe that you would rule at his side?" Questioned Susanoo, a small hint of disbelief in his voice. "This General of yours has no need of a Queen if he sees himself as someone above normal people. Especially when he plans of repopulation his kind, and you wonder how he will succeed in doing this."
For a moment, Faora fell silent. Wondering how her beloved General would repopulate Earth with her people. She would believe that there are some humans that they would deem worthy of carrying their offsprings. "...Concubines … Amazons."
"Indeed, and if this General of yours wanted a pureblood. Who would he chose?" Susanoo continued.
"Me and that bitch over there!" She inclined her head towards Supergirl who had taken her position next to Susanoo. A low growl crawled out of her throat, and her eyes flared crimson.
"You answered correctly. And if he felt himself above those he deemed not worthy because of his God complex, would he not do the same with you and Supergirl as he did with the Amazons?" Hearing this, Faora let out an angry roar. She launched herself towards the group of heroes, only to find herself intertwined in trees that quickly dwindled the remaining of her strength. "You are nothing more than a tool for him, but I believe that there is only one way of letting you see the truth … Tsukuyomi!"
Faora's world spiraled around her, changing colors and forms. Once the world stopped spinning. Her eyes widened at what her eyes witnessed. The world, this Earth burned like a certain planet. Volcanoes erupted in the distance while something akin to her people crawled on the dirty ground while a figure in dark shades floated above them. Someone that resemblance her beloved General. And in his hand, Zod held a woman's head by the long hair... a face that she recognize...
