Chapter 37 Myriad Unleashed; Prelude to Battle(pt1)
Kara and Trunks were really worried about everyone being under Myriad's control; Trunks was especially worried about Gohan since he couldn't sense where he was. Bulla too was now worried about what would happen and when Lucy and the other DEO agents came in under Non's control she hid. "DEO is secured what are your orders?" the mind controlled Lucy asked Non; "release the prisoners" he said. "It is done" Lucy answered back "all but the White Martian" Non revised "for everyone's sake leave that one be"; 'as evil as Non is not even he and his army wants to deal with the White Martian' Bulla thought. Lucy nodded to Agent Vasquez who punched in the security code which caused the AI to speak "warning; containment override activated. Cell dampeners will power down in two minutes." Bulla was about to alert Trunks to this when she saw Lucy and the other DEO agents go into another containment Cell. Inside was an alien she never saw before who said "I know not your face human" to Lucy; she then declared "I am Maxima Queen of the Planet Almerac. Open that door and you'll find out exactly what that means". 'What?!' Bulla thought; 'I thought Saiyans were the only race that had royalty!'; she didn't know about the Amazonians and they also having royalty but she was going to get that corrected in the future. To her surprise Lucy released Maxima and she immediately throttled the other agents however seeing that Lucy didn't have any fear the Almerac queen sneered "do you value your life so little you won't fight back?" to her. "Myriad has begun on Earth" the warped head of the DEO responded; "Non calls you to his legions; you will be the kings and queens of this world once you swear fidelity to him"(Supergirl episode 19 "Myriad").
Realizing that she could have revenge Maxima said "since Superman refused the honor of marrying me" but was interrupted by the AI saying "warning prisoner release in one minute"; "I will pledge allegiance to your Non" she finished to the brainwashed Lucy after the warning. Bulla waited until they were out of the hall to strike all of them "who are you?" Maxima asked; "funny you should say that" Bulla said then declared "you're about to find out what it's like to battle a real member of royalty..and I'm not talking about my brother"(Dragon Ball Z episode 120 "Another Super-Saiyan") and transformed into a Super-Saiyan. "That's impossible" Maxima exclaimed in a startled tone "well its true" Bulla evenly stated "and guess what they are more Super-Saiyans including my father". "Oh I didn't know the prince of Saiyans was a married man that's not something I would've associated with the beasts of death"; "well he is" Bulla bristled to Maxima's statement who then sighed and said "what a shame. My parents and the Saiyan royalty was arranging to marry me to their heir but of course Frieza destroyed the planet". She would've continued had it not been for Kara and Trunks descending down on her with the Kryptonian blowing her freeze breath. "Early parole is canceled" she sneered and proceeded to punch her; "you okay?" Trunks asked his sister. "I'm fine" she responded then clinching her fists as she and Kara tag teamed up with Trunks providing backup. When Maxima was hit by Kara she said "that tickled" while at the same time was impressed by Trunks' power. Then after overpowering the Kryptonian she sneered "we could've been family Kara Zor-El; I once sought to make your cousin my mate and now that I know that the Prince of Saiyans has a son just as powerful makes him a worthy choice to bear my children instead of Superman". "I would rather eat dirt than consent to be your mate" Trunks snarled to which Supergirl said "ewwl gross" and threw Maxima away with Bulla knocking her out with an energy attack. Suddenly the DEO agents fired their Kryptonite guns; she was shocked to see Lucy under the control of Myriad and pleaded "Lucy you have to fight it! You have to wake up!" "Its no use Kara " Bulla yelled as she pushed the boxes to cover Kara so that she wouldn't get hit as the AI blared "warning; containment override in 15 seconds". Noticing Kara and Goku's pod Trunks voiced "you thinking what I'm thinking?";the Kryptonian nodded and ran over to her pod and after punching in a few buttons released a flash of light knocking them out. After she karate chopped the DEO board in half stopping the release the Kryptonian proceeded to remove the Kryptonite needle in her arm to which Bulla winced "that's going to leave a mark"; however she recovered and ran over the unconscious sister of Lois and panted "Lucy I'm so sorry"(dialog with additions from Supergirl episode 19 "Myriad").
"What are we going to do now?" Bulla asked seeing that the situation was becoming more dire by the minute "there's one place where we can get our answers" Kara stated and reading her mind Trunks turned to his sister and said "stay here in case Lucy wakes up if she does raise your energies; we'll get to the bottom of this". "What about mom and Gohan?" Bulla worriedly asked; "don't worry" he reassured her "mom and Gohan can look after themselves" although it was a mask. The last time this happened Trunks found Gohan's body in the rain which he knew was because of the androids. Still he wouldn't start to panic until they found out what Myriad entailed so until then he wouldn't panic; knowing this kept Trunks sane as he and Kara flew to Superman's Fortress of Solitude. "Kelex?" Kara yelled "Kelex are you here?"; "how may I assist you Lady Kara?" the robot replied. 'Lady Kara?' Trunks mentally asked her. 'Its my official title on Krypton' the Kryptonian mentally responded to the hybrid's sastification before she asked the robot "where is Kal-El? I can't find him anywhere on Earth." "Kal-El is currently attending to a matter off-world" the sentry responded; "so he can't help" Trunks muttered as Kara scoffed and asked him "Kelex I need you to tell me about Myriad". "Warning; this construct is not authorized to discuss Myriad" the AI told her; "you were designed to obey the members of the honorable House of El and to preserve the memory of Krypton wherever it went" Kara told Kelex then warned him "if you don't override your orders Myriad will destroy the House of El and the memory of Krypton will be lost forever. You will have failed in your prime directive". Seeing Kalex motor away made Trunks furious and he roared "DAMN IT THE FUTURE OF YOUR KIND AND EARTH IS AT RISK!" and feeding off of Trunks' rage made Kara furiously plead "PLEASE I JUST NEED SOMEBODY TO HELP ME!" Suddenly a voice rung out "hello Kara" to which she whirled around and recognizing her immediately Kara gasped "mom"; 'I didn't know that your cousin had Alura's AI in his Fortress' Trunks mentally commented; 'neither did I' she replied but was cut off by Alura saying "Myriad was developed on Krypton by your aunt" to her daughter. "It was created to prevent the planet's immanent destruction; we had strangled the planet's resources beyond recovery. The Politicians argued but could not agree what to do" Alura's AI explained which led Trunks to comment "figures. That's exactly the same thing that happened with the androids". The AI continued by saying "thus according to high records Astra implemented her own solution Myriad; technology designed to force everyone to her way of thinking."
"Mind Control" Kara whispered as she remember that it was the same thing that happened to Trunks during the Red Tornado incident as what was going on now."When they were caught attempting to use the Myriad technology against the people of Argo City" the AI continued "Astra and Non were arrested"; "and send to Fort Rozz" Kara finished recalling Astra's words. "Which is how heard about what was going on and send my dad, Nappa and Bardock to investigate the rebellion" Trunks muttered remembering what Vegeta had said about the Saiyan role in Astra's and Non's rebellion; "that's what they've been trying to do all along" Kara realized "they've been trying to use Myriad on Earth; to save the Planet" "Only their idea of saving the Planet is enslaving the population" Trunks vented as Kara asked Alura's AI "but I don't understand why was everyone so afraid to talk about it? Why wouldn't you even you speak about it"? "Myriad could be used to enslave whole worlds at the push of a button" the AI solemnly stated "the high council determined that if knowledge of such technology was to get out, it would upset the delicate balance of power of the galaxy". Trunks growled hearing this as Kara pleaded "mom please; you have to tell me how to stop this". "I am sorry Kara; once started Myriad cannot be stopped" the AI apologized. "Sorry?" the hybrid parroted back to the AI "Myriad is no better than what Paragus tried to do and we stopped him! Yet your own flesh and blood asks how to stop something just as dastardly and the only thing you can do is apologize and say that it can't be stopped?!" "Trunks.." Kara started to say "let's just get back to National City Kara; it looks like we have to figure out how to stop Myriad on our own" he sighed(dialog with addition from Surpergirl Episode 19 "Myriad").
Kara glumly agreed and flew back but couldn't help ask "hey what did you mean back there by..Paragus?"; Trunks sighed and explained "Paragus was a scientist and high ranking official on Planet Vegeta. He too had a..weapon like Myriad". "What kind of weapon?" the daughter of Alura asked Trunks "the Legendary Super-Saiyan Broly" he grimly said; "he was born with a power level of 10000 and was even more powerful than my grandfather the king. As a result he banished them both on the same day Frieza destroyed the planet; however Paragus wanted revenge and even though my grandfather was dead he wanted in his words 'the next best thing'. "Vegeta" Kara realized then asked "but how did he pull off the stunt of a fake planet?"Trunks shuddered before responding "Paragus had his son, who was placed under mind control to control his power, destroy the cities, enslave numerous aliens from a nearby planet to create the castle where they stayed, and destroyed an area of the South Galaxy in order to sell the act. He was planning to time the surprise to coincide with the comet Camriori so that we would be killed while they escaped to conquer Earth however Broly rused to be controlled and a fight broke out during which Paragus was killed by his son. Broly's constantly rising power, his insane durability and the sheer pleasure(*sneers as he says that*) he had at watching others suffer..I now know why my dad was so paralyzed by fear when we battled him." Kara's blood ran cold at just hearing what Broly had done and to think that both Vegeta and her boyfriend were afraid of such a monster struck a deep chord within her in terms of what they were facing right now as the Catco building came in sight.
Meanwhile 30 miles outside the city it was a different story as Alex, John and Vegeta were still on the run from law enforcement; currently they were on a bus in disguise on their way to Eliza's house in Midvale. Since they were constantly running and hiding they had no clue what was going on; Alex had gotten a blond wig and sunglasses to conceal her identity while John shape-shifted into a child and Vegeta put on a fake beard that he had gotten as a gift from Bulma. Due to his pride about Bulla's comment about his mustache Vegeta didn't want anyone to know that he had a fake beard but desperate times called for desperate measures and now the proud Prince had a beard concealing his identity. Despite this the police stopped the bus and once they got on board the lady announced(as Alex put on the sunglasses) "remain seated; we're on the lookout for 3 fugitives wanted in connection for very serious crimes." Then as she pulled pictures of Alex, John and Vegeta she said "these three are considered to be extremely dangerous; if you have any information please speak up." The shape shifted John held his breath as Alex looked straight ahead and Vegeta trying his best not to frown; having found no evidence of the three she said to her cohorts "this bus is clear. Let's get out of here". Meanwhile the two heroes finally arrived at the Catco building; Kara went over and called "Kelly?" to no response before recognizing the language and whispering "that's Kryptonian; what is Non up to?" Trunks muttered "I haven't seen anything like this since the androids" as Kara recognized Winn and called "Winn? Winn! Winn can you hear me? I know you're in there". "He's been like that for hours" came the voice of Pan "I haven't been able to snap him out of it." "Pan! Thank Dende you're okay!" Trunks exclaimed "it was so weird..we were having a conversation when all of a sudden he started to act like this" Pan explained "what's going on Trunks?" The demi-saiyan sighed "Non; he's managed to activate Myriad." "No" she murmured "it can't be" as tears began to wet her face as Kara emotionally whispered "I could really use my friend right now" to Winn and ran over into the photography department. "James come on James" the Kryptonian called to no avail "you are stronger than this come back(she pleaded before sighing) there was a time where I was afraid you wouldn't notice me and now I'd wish you just smile".
Exiting James' room Kara noticed the grim look on Trunks' face and asked "what's wrong?"; "General Lane's on TV" came the simple response of the hybrid as he turned up the volume. "The United States Army has taken up position at every entrance way into National City; until this threat is neutralized National City has been effectively quarantined" he said over the TV to which Pan voiced "well at least the virus is going to be contained to National City". "That also means that we can't get outside help from anybody including Alex" Trunks countered to her; Kara knew that the hybrid was correct but decided to call Lucy's Father first. "This is General Lane"; "its Supergirl" the hero responded "how's Lucy?" the father asked. "She's alive; she's safe" the Kryptonian hero responded but Lucy's father asked her "she's enthralled to Non's master weapon isn't she"? "Yes" Kara sadly sighed before remembering what Trunks said telling him "listen you need to keep everyone outside of city limits until Gold Fighter and I can figure this out okay?" Noticing his silence she elaborated "I know that you and I haven't always had the best relationship" but to Kara's surprise General Lane answered with "I'll do my part. I trust that you and Gold Fighter will do yours; good luck" and hung up. Just then the elevator 'dinged' signaling someone had used it and to everyone's surprise it was Cat; "Keerah call Harrison Ford and tell him that I'm flattered but once and for all I do not date older men especially when they're married" she ordered. Kara's shock at seeing Cat unaffected by Myriad was shared by both her boyfriend and Myriad and when the two of them cleared their throats to get Cat's attention she said "Oh! Supergirl; Gold Fighter! Well what a pleasant surprise what we have a 9 A.M?" in a surprised tone. "You're not a mindless drone" Kara said snapping out of shock "oh no. No I learned that lesson when Demi Moore and I wore the same dress to the premiere of Ghosts; never again" she replied. "Okay?" Pan cluelessly asked not knowing what Cat was talking about but wanting to alert Cat with what was going on the hero of National City said "Ms. Grant listen to me. Everyone in this city has been affected by this alien signal, they're acting like automatons". "Haven't you noticed?" Pan asked her and stopping her texting Cat took a look around before saying "hmm yes; they are a bit more quiet than normal; maybe my reign of terror has finally reached its peak effectiveness."
Trunks was about to tell Cat that this was no time for jokes when Kara's phone pinged causing the head of Catco to say "ah you have a cell phone can I get that number please?" "Its Superman" Kara muttered causing Cat to quip "oh can I get his number as well?" Kara ran to the window exclaiming "he's coming to help!"; "he is?" Cat asked. Pan and Trunks interest was raised as well and they also ran to the window "where is he?" Kara asked as she searched the skies; Cat looked in that direction as well but hearing the footsteps below her building caused her to look down and mutter "oh my God what is happening to everyone?" Pan was about to respond when suddenly Trunks exclaimed "whoa; huge power level heading straight towards us"! Knowing that it was her cousin Kara pointed out in the distance and shouted "there he is there he is!"; "who?" Cat asked her "Superman? Where?" Superman had finally arrived but then instead of greeting Kara he descended towards the ground causing Kara to exclaim "what? Oh God no!" Alarmed Cat asked Supergirl "what's going on?" to the hero; "Myriad" she responded "its affecting my cousin too". "Myriad?" Cat repeated then realizing the seriousness of the situation she asked Supergirl "wait a minute if its affecting Superman then are any of us safe"? "No Ms. Grant" Trunks grimly responded "I'm afraid none of us are safe"; "well I may not be Superman but I do have my moments" came the voice of Max Lord causing Pan to think "we are screwed"(dialog with addition from Supergirl episode 19 "Myriad")
Meanwhile Trunks' and Kara's daughter Alice finally came from the future to the same location that her dad did when he faced Frieza and his father who remembered what Pan said. FLASHBACK "Make sure that you find your dad right away when you go back in time" Pan instructed the daughter of Trunks "and don't reveal your story until the battle is over". "Don't worry; I wont" she promised; the daughter of Gohan then gave her a hug before saying "come back alive" and pushed the button starting the journey into the past. END FLASHBACK "That's odd" Alice muttered after getting her bearings "why can't I sense dad's energy?" The daughter of Trunks didn't know that Superman's Fortress of Solitude blocked out all Ki signatures including her father's. Suddenly she felt another energy spike this one she knew to be her grandfather Vegeta's energy; "I can sense grandpa's energy and its coming from..that direction"(*indicating from the opposite direction of National City*). Alice decided to go towards her grandfather's(and John's) energy rather than her dad the reason being that Alice would know that her father was in trouble and(for now) that wasn't the case. While Alice went to investigate further Max Lord rhetorically questioned Kara by saying "do Kryptonians gloat? Because I'll bet wherever he is ol' Uncle Non is feeling pretty good about himself"(Supergirl episode 19 "Myriad"). "Can it" Trunks snarled emanating Super-Saiyan 2 Kid Gohan (Dragon Ball Z episode 187 "Cell's Breakdown") as Cat asked "why am I not surprised that your brain is intact Max? What is it they say? Only the cockroaches will survive the apocalypse". "Happy to see you too Cat; you look lovely considering the end is nigh" Max said taking her joke in stride. Curiously Cat asked Max "why weren't you affected" to which the brilliant billionaire answered "ion blockers"; then turning to the unaffected aliens(Kara, Trunks and Pan) he explained "I realized the Kryptonians were using my LTE interface system; that's why they broke into my lab at Christmas." "What are the Kryptonians doing?" Pan asked to which he answered "they're using my satellites to send neural signals directly into the minds of everyone in National City. These"(*points to his head*)"scramble the signal before they reach my brain". "If you invented technology that blocks Myriad why didn't you give it to the DEO?" Kara asked Max to which he said "once Henshaw and his trusty girl Friday stepped down I had no one at the DEO to trust".
Pan was about to point out the Max could've given the device to Lucy for safe keeping when Cat said "well clearly not everyone needs this ear-wig thingy because I don't have one and my brain is perfectly intact". Max however saw through the ruse and pointed out "I see you got the earrings I sent you last night" to Catco's founder to which she clicked her tongue and asked "ion blockers in the diamonds?" "Mmm-hmm" he confirmed causing Cat to sarcastically retort "oh so many karats and yet so functional". Max chuckled then after putting his hand through Cat's hair said "didn't seem right for the world to lose Cat Grant's mind." Pan shuddered and muttered "Max Lord hitting on Cat is creepy" to the Kryptoniana(to which Kara agreed) when Max spoke again saying "speaking of where is your faithful assistant? Out marching with the masses?" to Cat. "Don't be glib Max" Cat sighed "probably should be worried about her"; "don't worry Kara is perfectly safe" Trunks reassured them both; after quietly thanking her boyfriend for the save Kara decided to refocus the conversation and asked "if it"(*meaning Myriad*)"only affects humans why was my cousin affected?" Max scholarly replied "nature verses nature. He may be alien but your cousin grew up on Earth. Seems like Environmental factors being raised by ordinary people made him more human". Silently Pan cursed 'damn it that means Grandpa would be affected by Myriad as well' as Max gloated "the Man of Steel brought to his knees all because he went to kindergarten and watched Sesame Street" to Kara. "You think this is funny?" Kara asked Max with a sneer(as Trunks made his displeasure known to his comment by growling in disgust) to which he replied "everything I have feared has come to past I couldn't be more serious". "We have to stop them; they are using your satellites" Pan angrily huffed to Max as Kara asked him "can't you reprogram them and destroy Myriad from the inside"?
"I tried" he answered honestly "they have some pretty epic force fields around those satellites at the moment"; Kara sadly rolled her eyes as Trunks muttered "its too bad we don't have anyone who has the power to destroy force fields" causing Cat to say "you're always 10 steps ahead Max. I know you have a plan". "Of course I do" Max answered back "we kill them all" and the look of uneasiness(and silent horror) on the faces of Kara, Trunk, Pan and Cat conveyed that they were reluctant to agree with Max's plan. Meanwhile Non was looking at the hologram of National City and seeing the look on the rouge Kryptonian's face Indigo opined "when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer; need a tissue"? "National City under our control at last" the husband of Astra coolly said "even Kal-El could not escape its power; nothing can stand against us now". "Except your niece and those monkeys" the Coulian retorted "I calculate they're chomping at the bit to take their revenge on you". "Like Astra you overestimate their strength" Non reassured Indigo to which she said "since your dearly departed wife's corpse is drifting through space right now I'd said maybe you both underestimated their powers". "You want me to kill them?" the Kryptonian general asked his consort to which Indigo answered "every minute that they live is a minute they're plotting against us. They've already prevented the release of the Fort Rozz escapees from the DEO". "It will not change the outcome" Non stated in a reassuring voice but Indigo said "kill Kara Zor El and Trunks Mirai Briefs today or fight them tomorrow and once it's done you can go back to admiring your kingdom". The sinister smile Non made in response indicated that he was considering Indigo's plan to shatter the confidence of her niece and that saiyan boyfriend of hers.
Meanwhile Alice had finally located where the four energy signals converged at Eliza's house; the daughter of Trunks entered through the chimney and quietly crept around in the attic muttering "I've never been here before; why would Alex come here?" Speaking of Alex, she entered the house with Vegeta and Hank(in disguise) through the front door and coming out to investigate the commotion Eliza shouted "who are you?" to the noise. "Mom its me!" Alex's voice rang out causing her mom to softly gasp "Alex! Oh my God!" and giving her a hug. "Hi" she softly greeted accepting the hug "I needed that"; "are you all right what is going on?" Eliza asked her daughter turned DEO agent going into mama bear mode. "Well" Alex began but and noticing the child and the bearded Vegeta Eliza asked her "and who are these two?" causing Alex to awkwardly say "oh uh yes; those two are a little harder to explain". "I don't understand sweetie..I" Eliza began to comment confused when the child spoke saying "Dr. Danvers; you might want to step back" and transformed back into Hank Henshaw with Vegeta powering up to wipe out the mustache revealing his Sayian heritage. "What the hell?" Eliza cursed causing Alex to intervene between the three by saying "no no its okay"; "no whatever that is killed your father" she insisted still thinking that Hank had killed her husband. "No he didn't" Alex strongly reproved her mother causing her to exclaim "what?"; "the real Hank Hankshaw blackmailed Dad into joining the DEO this is who tried to save him. His name in J'ohn he is a shape-shifter from Mars". "Is it true?" Eliza questioned; "if it weren't true woman I wouldn't allow my half-breed saiyan offspring to work alongside him" Vegeta voiced causing Alice a great degree of shock that her grandfather had told Alex's mom(who she knew from her dad and aunt that she was hostile towards both Hank and the Saiyans). "What's true is that your husband was one of the best people I've ever known; he saved my life" John told her causing Alex to say "and J'ohn saved mine, Trunks, and Kara's. You can trust him; mom we don't have much time..J'ohn, Vegeta and I are on the run. We just stopped by to stock up".
"Wait 'on the run?" Eliza questioned "how did you even get out of the city"; "what are you talking about?" Alex asked back. "You don't know what's happening in National City?" Eliza asked causing Vegeta to say "if something was going on the Saiyan bond my wife and I share would've immediately let me know". "There's something you have to see" Eliza softly said to the three fugitives as Cat scoffed "Max how exactly do you plan on killing an army of Superhumans" in question back at the office. "I'll tell you the plan when I know all four of you are on board" the billionaire replied back "can't have muscles and Gold Head over here trying to stop me". "Killing is never the solution" Kara said "except we're past villains of the week and kittens stuck in trees" Max retorted back to the hero; "we're at war and the only way to win a war is to kill an enemy before they kill us". "I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with Max" Trunks spoke in agreement causing Max to say "time to grow up and put on the big girl cape". "Oh looks like someone's made it through security" Cat's voice rang out preventing a potential argument from breaking out as Non's voice spoke to his niece and the saiyans saying "the Son of Jor-El has already knelt before me. Soon the both of you will too"(dialog with addition from Supergirl episode 19 "Myriad"). "Never" Trunks snarled angrily as Pan emulated her grandfather's speech to Cell on Non sneering "you're not the first who tried to rule the universe with a sword of injustice; they failed and so will you"(Dragon Ball Z episode 169 "No Worries Here"). "I don't want to fight you child" Non said causing Kara to challenge him asking "afraid we'll win?" "Accept it and the glorious fulfillment of Astra's vision; in the end she defeated you" Non stated "this doesn't look like victory to me" Trunks scoffed causing Kara to add "and all you're doing is betraying her. I was with Astra in her final moments. We forgave each other; we paid respect to our blood bonds. She didn't want this". "Of course she did" Non insisted "it's what everyone wants is it not?(quoting) Peace on Earth goodwill towards men?" "Its a lot less like Christmas out there and more like Dawn of the Dead" Cat quipped to the evil Kryptonian causing him to say "the human race finally has the chance to live or it will suffer the same faith as Krypton. And the same thing is happening on Earth; with a population more invested in reality stars and political circuses than working together to solve the world's problems." This caused Max to quip "so mind control is the answer to global warming? Why didn't I think of that?"; "thanks to Myriad there are no more racial divisions no Republicans no Democrats. Only one people working towards one goal; to save the world" Non opinioned.
"Except you haven't saved the world; you've enslaved them" Cat pointed out "humanity is better than this" Kara spoke(although Trunks muttered "as flawed as we are"); "if you really want this planet to avoid the fate of Krypton then work with us" she pleaded to her uncle. "With these people?" Non asked back then pointing at Cat and Max he said "these two are the best of your world and all they do is help amuse the populace to death; if anything they laid the groundwork for me". "You've already turned us into drones" came the voice of Winn causing Kara to exclaim "Winn! Winn can you hear me?" but was interrupted by James saying "your inventions have drowned out sense and turned into nonsense"; "but now everyone's united" Winn continued. "Everyone's creativity and thought dedicated to eradicating famine, disease, climate change". "Non's voicing his propaganda to Kara through the use of her friends" Trunks quietly growled to Pan in an angry tone(causing the quarter saiyan to clench her knuckles in anger) as Max asked "you're harvesting the brain powers of everyone in the city to solve the world's problems? National City is a giant think tank?" "This is not the way to solve the world's problems" Kara stated to Non causing the warped Winn to say "your heroics have done nothing to save the planet" and James to add "this is the inevitability of Myriad". "Non stop this!" Kara ordered and noticing the emotions his niece was displaying Non asked "these are your friends aren't they?"; "let them go" she softly begged. "I have lived with loss; allow me to return the favor" Non concluded and when everyone got up to start walking Kara asked "what are you doing to them?" to her uncle(as Cat questioned "Kelly?" "Non has ended crime in one day; one second" the deluded Winn said causing Pan to cry out "Winn! Winn stop!"; "which is more than the six of you have ever done" James added causing Kara to cry out "James JAMES!"
"Oh my God" Cat softly muttered "NO NO NO NO!" Max muttered as Kara asked "what's happening?". "Catch" James simply said "they're...they're trying to commit suicide" Pan gasped in realization. "NO!" Kara screamed "damn it not going to make it in time" Trunks cursed as he tried to rescue Kelly. Kara caught her friends but realized that both she and Trunks were too late to save Kelly and when she saw her body she whispered "no"."Missed one" James said in a mocking tone before ordering(through Non) "do not stand against me" to both a crestfallen Kara and a pissed off Trunks "or more will die" Winn finished. "Everyone you love and care for will die; accept defeat Kara Zor-El and Trunks Mirai Briefs; I've already saved National City. Next I will save the world" the deluded James vowed then walked away with Winn and the rest of National City's population(Supergirl episode 19 "Myriad"). Kara's breath trembled as Trunks angrily promised "next time we meet Non I will kill you and your Kryptonian army even if it means risking everything"(dialog adapted from Dragon Ball Z episode 182 "Gohan's Plea") as he silently pulled out what looked like an earring from a capsule.
It was a different story in Midvale as John was looking at a photograph of a younger Kara and Alex alongside their parents(or in Kara's case stepparents back when they were still a family; "its a nice photo. Beautiful family" John deadpanned to Eliza as she softly murmured "we were" in agreement. John gave a conflicted look and noticing it Vegeta wondered 'how is the Martian going to break the news that her husband is alive?" but whatever thoughts he had were broken by Eliza's question of "so Alex said Jeremiah saved your life were you with him? Were you with him at the end?" "His only thoughts were for you and the girls" the Martian diplomatically answered "I made him a promise and I've been trying to keep that promise every day since then". "Thank you" she softly but gratefully said then after sitting down she awkwardly asked "so..Mars I have to ask underneath it all are you a little green man?" "I'm a big green man actually" John answered as Vegeta quipped "your description of little green men actually is more fitting of cybermen than him". "Ha" she laughed "and how are you able to change form? Is it an enzyme or some other chemical catalyst your body secrets to allows you to reorganize your DNA? And how do you adjust for the change in body density? How does your respiratory system process the increased oxygen and nitrogen present in our air that.." John and Vegeta began to chuckle simultaneously causing Eliza to stop her rambling and ask "what's so funny?"."Like mother like daughter" John chuckled as Vegeta nostalgically commented "you remind me of my wife. She always had these infernal babbling questions about our history and race. I refused to answer them but the woman has this way of forcing the information out even when you don't want to give it".
Needless to say Alice was shocked to hear her grandfather talk so openly about his race to a stranger such as Eliza(especially since she knew that the relationship between Alex's mom and her grandmother was tedious at best) but her thoughts were broken by Alex communicating to her sister. "Kara are you all right?" she asked the Kryptonian "I'm fine" she answered; "you're lying" Alex deadpanned seeing through the ruse that Kara had put up to hide her emotions. "Yes" she sighed before asking "Did you reach Cadmus? Did you, Vegeta and Hank find dad?"; 'Cadmus what's that and what does it have to do with Jeremiah?' Alice asked herself as the daughter of Trunks never heard about Cadmus from anyone and(as far as she knew anyway) Jeremiah was dead. "We were on our way there until we heard about all this" Alex told Kara in response to her question causing her to ask "where are you now?" to her beloved adopted sister. "At mom's" the DEO agent responded and recalling Trunks saying that they wouldn't be able to receive outside help Kara ordered "stay there. If you come to National City Myriad will take over you too". "There's no way I'm leaving you by yourself" Alex disagreed "I'm not alone I'm uh I'm with Ms. Grant" Kara stammered in response causing her to ask "why wasn't Cat affected?" to her sister. "Maxwell Lord protected her and himself"; "of course he did" Alex muttered in response before adding "Kara we never know when we can trust him". "You know what? I don't really have a choice right now you don't know what its like here its my only option" Kara stated back "I love you Alex" cutting off her trying to interrupt with a "Kara listen" before hanging up(dialog with addition from Supergirl episode 19 "Myriad"). While Kara was having her conversation with Alex, Trunks and Pan were discussing their options; "Trunks what are we going to do?" "I'm going to do what mom told me to do from the beginning"; "you're going to tell her about the Dragon Balls?!" the quarter saiyan asked. "If we follow Max Lord's plan everyone's going to die" Trunks bitterly responded "Alex, Eliza, James, Winn they'll all going to die" Still Pan asked "but telling Kara about the Dragon Balls? What if she uses the wish to bring back Kelly?" "Sorry Pan but Kelly can't be brought back; she may have been under Non's power but she basically committed suicide when she jumped out the window and...well that's beyond Shenron's power". Pan sadly understood that Kelly couldn't be brought back to life and she(and Trunks) had dark thoughts as they(along with Kara) went back to hear Max Lord's plan.
Vegeta noticed the worried look on Alex's face and when she hung up he asked "what is it woman?"; "she's working with Max to stop Non" Alex responded. "I'm going back" Hank declared upon hearing that Kara(and Trunks) was working with Max but Eliza disagreed saying "I don't think you can"; "I'm not human Myriad won't affect me" he told her. "The prince of Saiyans' mind is too strong to be controlled by Myriad" Vegeta declared stating his intentions to return to National City as well while at the same time thinking 'plus the woman would have my head if anything should happen to my son and his prospective mate". His thoughts were interrupted by Alex's declaration of "I'm going with you" to the both of them but Hank disagreed saying "no you are not. You're staying here where this evil can't touch you; it's what your sister and Trunks wants. It's what your father would've wanted; he still needs you". Alice was confused by Hank's statement of still needing his daughter; 'how can Jeremiah need Alex if he's dead?' she thought as she watched Hank walk away. She also pondered her next move; 'if Pan was here she would tell me to get to my father but if Auntie Bulla was here she tell me to investigate why Alex and John are keeping secrets from Eliza' the Saiyantonian thought. 'If only I could perform instant transmission' Alice fumed silently 'if I flew then my energy signal would be detected..guess the only thing I can do is stay here for now'.
Back at the office Max asked the hero of National City "are you finally ready to do what needs to be done?"; seeing that she had no other choice Kara sighed before asking "what's your plan"? "Before you and I sang Kumbaya and decided to be friends I was working on a weapon to use against the Kryptonians; all Kryptonians". "What kind of weapon?" Kara asked; "a bomb" Max replied "filled with Kryptonite dust; it'll irradiate the whole city. Choke them all to death no more Myriad". Cat(who was on the phone but hung up upon hearing this) asked Max "um um forgive me but won't that kill Superman and Supergirl"?; "not if she flies up and detonates it over the city center" he explained before adding" then she and he skedaddle. She won't be able to come back to National City for Fifty Years but that's a small price to save the world right?" "What about the human beings?" Kara asked; "will they be affected at all?"; "the concussive force to properly displace the Kryptonite dust will result in some losses" Max solemnly stated which caused Cat to ask "what exactly are we talking about Max? Losses?" "8% of the population" Max replied which caused Cat to exclaim "8% of 4 million people that is over 300000 people Max". "Verses the seven billion people on the planet that Non wants to turn into zombies" Max countered which caused Cat to ask Kara and Trunks "are you seriously considering this". The silence in the air after the question was asked caused Max to come back and say "they are; because they know its our only chance. If this spreads beyond National City it won't be long before every man, woman and child including your children will be on their knees. I won't let that happen(*he vowed*). I swore to save this world that's exactly what I'm going to do."
Kara then argued "what if we tell Non we have this weapon?; force him to see reason" which caused him to scoff "tell that to Kelly the office skydiver(*which caused Trunks to growl as he remembered how he couldn't save her*) as Cat huffed "please have you no shame?" "No not anymore" he stated defiantly "all I have is my mind and for how much longer I'm not sure. What I know is that for every second we don't act we risk the end of humanity". Then issuing a challenge Max said "time to save the world Supergirl; are you with me"? As Kara pondered her decision Max decided to talk things over with General Lane regarding his plan; "did you get an answer?" he asked. "I spoke with the President directly; she agrees with your assessment" he answered back. "You have her authorization to proceed with your plan"; "thank you general" he said to Lucy's father who solemnly stated "may God have mercy on our souls". "If there was a God general she wouldn't have put us in this mess in the first place" Max sighed before hanging up causing Kara(who was still thinking about her decision) to ask him "how did you become like this?" Max paused before asking the Kryptonian "did I even tell you how my parents died?"; "Alex told me they were exposed to a fatal virus that the government gave them faulty hazmat suits" Kara replied. "What I didn't tell your dear ol sis was that I warned them about those suits"(pauses before continuing)"I knew they wouldn't hold up. I begged them and the CDC to scrap them but(scoffs) no one would listen to me the know it all. I swore from that moment if I could protect people if I could save them I wouldn't wait for permission I would act. Just like you and Gold fighter do when you jump out the window and save the day; we act you and I. We're more alike then you think".
During the story Pan asked Trunks "do you think those hazmat suits contained the same virus that killed Grandpa?"; "given that there was no cure at the time for it no I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same virus that killed them" Trunks answered while at the same time feeling guilty that his mom didn't develop a cure until after Goku's death. "I hope not" Kara whispered back to him; "Max I need to talk this plan of yours alone with Supergirl along with...other things"(dialog with addition from Supergirl Ep 19 "Myriad") He understood and replied "I'll be in my facility getting the bomb ready" before walking away. "Stay here and wait for mom Pan" the hybrid ordered Pan(to which she agreed) and as he took Kara to the roof to reveal everything to her he could only pray that she would accept the other recourse available to them(along with his secrets).
