And Injustice For All 3

Chapter 17: Last Hope of Krypton

"Stopping you from making a mistake," Kara replied.

"That lunatic deserves to die."

"Maybe, but she's defenseless. She's had no trial... You told me Amazons fought with honor."

Unlike Superman, Supergirl has a different moveset. She demonstrates her strength to Wonder Woman and defeats her.

Supergirl returned to Harley.

"She needs treatment right away," said Melody.

"I'll take care of her. Thank you, Melody..."

"Don't thank me just yet. Hurry."

Supergirl took Harley to the Fortress of Solitude. Superman was recharging his strength.

"Did you find anything?" Black Adam and Damian was asked.

"I analyzed the Kryptonian data, like you asked," Damian said. "You didn't miss anything. They just didn't have a answer for Brainiac."

"There has to be something. A blind spot, a weakness. Brute strength won't be enough."

"If your power is restored, I will leave for Kahndaq, prepare its defenses."

"Brainiac hasn't attacked yet?"

"The Rock of Eternity's magic hides Kahndaq from prying eyes, even Brainiac's. But I don't expect him to be fooled forever."

Supergirl arrives. "Kal, we need to talk."

"Give me a minute, both of you." Black Adam and Damian left.

"Damian told me what happened. Is Diana all right?"

"She's fine, but she was going to kill Harley. I've never seen her so cold-blooded..."

"Yes, it's unfortunate."

"What was she thinking?"

"It's unfortunate Diana chose to deal with Harley. More unfortunate that you got in the way."

"What?"

"The Joker sickened Harley's mind beyond healing. When she relapses, Innocents will die."

"Innocent people are dying now. She was helping us!"

"Don't be naive, Kara. Harley's a criminal. My only mistake was not dealing with her sooner."

"Diana said The Joker was executed. Were you the one who...?"

"I took one life to save millions."

"But it wasn't just one, Kal, wasn't it? How many?! Everywhere I go, people are afraid of this. Now I know why."

"It's not how I wanted things. But humans, they've been slaughtering each other for millennia. I stopped that violence. Humans need strong leadership. We have to save them from themselves."

"Who's son are you? Jor-El's Or General Zod's?"

Supergirl flew away.

"Hold on, Kara," said Damian.

"I'm realizing maybe your father locked you up for good reason."

"Superman is more of a father than Batman could ever be."

They fight. They were friends for a time, until Supergirl learned the truth. Damian was using Nightwing's style of combat with a staff. Up above, Starfire witnesses the battle and waited until it was over. Supergirl defeats him.

"Kal should be setting a better example."

"Thank you, Kara."

Kara turned around to see Starfire.

"Who are you?"

"I am Koriand'r, princess of Tamaran, but you can call me Starfire. Damian..."

"Kori..."

"Murderer of Dick Grayson..."

Supergirl couldn't believe what Starfire just revealed.

"You killed Dick Grayson?!"

"It was a accident!"

"This battle will not be an "accident" murderer!"

Starfire battled the weakened Damian. From what I understand, Damian killed Dick Grayson. I've yet to Wonder how or why, but Starfire beat him senseless. Meanwhile, Supergirl was attacked by Black Adam.

"You will submit, Kara Zor-El!"

Adam blasted Kara with lightning.

"Ever since you found me, everything you told me, half-truths, lies, to cover up your own evil..."

"You see the world as a child does. Good and evil are not constants. Their meaning's defined by those with power."

It's true that Black Adam took her in to his home of Kahndaq, but keeping his evil intentions away from Kara seemed pretty low to me, as he was beaten by Kara.

"Lucky for you, I find power in restraint."

"Kara, listen to me," said Superman. "With our power's, we can't hold back, or the ones we love pay the price."

"I'm sorry I wasn't there. That I couldn't help you. But Metropolis wasn't your fault."

"I promised myself, never again."

"This isn't who we are. The House of El isn't ruled by fear."

"Hope isn't enough to save the world. Without me, they'd be dead."

Kara never thought fighting her own cousin was inevitable. Especially now since she had just learned of his Regime and its downfall. The death of The Joker, as well as Billy Batson, the original Green Arrow, and Lex Luthor. It took all of Kara's might to bring him down.

"I can help you..."

"Think about all you've lost, Kara." Black Adam and Damian are behind her.

"What if you could've saved Krypton?"

"I think about it everyday."

"Then stand with me."

Rumbling can be heard from outside.

"It's Brainiac. He's extracting the cities early!"

"Then we fight back," said Adam. "I must go to protect Kahndaq"

"We're heading to Metropolis."

"What about her?" Asked Damian.

"All that matters now is stopping Brainiac. After this is over, you must choose. You're either with me or against me."

In Metropolis, Brainiac's ship hovers over the city, covering it in darkness. A blue beam struck the city, creating a suction, Kent Nelson, aka Doctor Fate sees the horror of the city itself. He sees the ship, then sees a woman on the ground. He wanted to lend a hand, but the helm, Nabu, denied it.

"Why can't I stop this? Why won't you let me fight back? How can there be order if Brainiac wins?"

"Humanity breeds chaos. Brainiac is order."

Just a few miles away, Raiden was on a rooftop, overlooking the city being overtaken by Brainiac.

"Metropolis has fallen again, before the coming storm. There must be some way to stop him."

Meanwhile, Batman, joined by Chris and Catwoman have entered Metropolis via batplane.

"Superman and Supergirl are almost there. The others are attacking the fleet. Should we be in Gotham?"

"Brainiac controls the entire fleet from that ship. Take him down, take them all down.," said Batman.

"Contacts! Dead ahead!" Chris was looking through the HW armband.

The ship was sending in small ships. Batman attacked most of them. Superman and Supergirl were on the assault as well.

"Bruce, they left us a opening," Chris said.

"Locking on the Skull ship."

Batman launched a few rockets. Inside the ship, Brainiac was watching as his ship was attacked.

"Shields."

The ship activated the shields.

"Great. The ship's shields have been activated."

The shields also spewed an electromagnetic pulse that caused the batplane to fall.

"Prepare to eject!"

Superman caught the batplane.

"No need. Superman caught us," Chris said.

"You're welcome." He flipped the plane over.

"What just happened?"

"Brainiac's force field has created a concussive feedback loop." Batman answered.

"So the harder we hit, the harder it hits back..."

Kara zoomed past him. She tried to punch it, but the force field stunned her. Superman tried to save her but was stunned as well. The force field blew them away.

"The Kryptonians are incapacitated. Complete the extraction."

Metropolis was being sucked away in to the ship. Raiden continued watching as Melody, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Tanya and Jade arrived.

"We have to do something Raiden," said Jade. Starfire and another blonde make an appearance.

"Melody, you, Starfire & Power Girl head to Africa and find Vixen. Jade, Tanya, Queen Sindel requested your presence in Edenia. "

"What about Chris?" Asked Melody.

"He is with Batman. Once you find Vixen, return here and join him."

"We can get to Africa faster," said Karen Starr of Earth 2, aka Power Girl.

"Let's do it. We must hurry. I'll never forgive myself if Chris dies."

"We will protect you both," said Starfire. "Come, we are running out of time."
